The result is that greater numbers of students are being denied opportunities in widely-practiced professional areas so that a few can be provided with “expensive training within narrowly specialized seminars and clinics,” the seven students claimed in an open letter to the Law School faculty. The Law School is overcommitting its faculty lines and material resources to clinical programs and there may be an even greater commitment in the future, the group reported. All seven emphasized that they were not acting on behalf of any organization, but as individually concerned students. They are: Donald Lohr, President of the Student Bar Association; Raymond Bowie, Editor of The Opinion ; Benjamin Idziak, member of the Buffalo Legislation Project; John Mendenhall, Editor of the Law Review; Daniel McDonald, Chairman of the Moot Court Board; Mark Linneman and Ian DeWaal. Disputes charges Richard Schwartz, dean of the Law School, strongly disputed the charges. He asserted that traditional programs were not being ignored in favor of experimental clinics. “I think our coverage has been in keeping with the pace of our expanding student body. Show me what is suffering," Schwartz said. As evidence, the students cited cases where second-year students were being closed out of key courses, and complaints from many third-year students that their seminars are often unrelated to their career Dr, goals For example, several students were closed out of a required course on Federal Taxes this semester for the first time. This year, also for the first time, only two sections of family law were offered, causing overcrowding and close-outs. However, Dr. Schwartz said he had not heard of any close-outs and insisted on more carefully documented evidence of students who have been denied access to important courses. Substantial coverage has been provided, though, through use of adjunct professors and an overall effort, Dr. Schwartz said. “I would question what they have in mind; I don’t know if they would be satisfied under any circumstances.” No specialization Criticism has also been leveled at Dr. good teachers from outstanding schools rather than seeking faculty whose area of specialization fills a gap in Law School course offerings. “The Law School must first determine what substantive areas need teaching and seek new faculty appointments" to fill these needs, Mr. Bowie declared. One disgruntled student reported that there was no instructor at the Law School qualified to teach International Business Transactions and that there may be no one to teach labor law next year because of leaves and sabbaticals. The problem of teaching labor law arose when one instructor for the course asked for leave without pay last April. Dr. Schwartz explained. This type of leave is almost always automatically granted, he said, adding that those students who cannot take labor law this year could do so next year. It's “not the intrinsic importance of the subject, but the quality of the teaching," that matters most. Dr. Schwartz asserted. He repeatedly emphasized the importance of recruiting good teachers, who at the same time, could teach the necessary professional programs. Schwartz for hiring In their open letter, the students asked Law School to “insure prompt replacement of faculty on leave or sabbatical,” suggesting that visiting faculty be used for this purpose. It continued: “Absence of key faculty can and has resulted in major deficiencies in certain areas which have interfered with the development of sequences and the opportunity for students to specialize in with temporary areas plagued deficiencies.” the ... Large-scale growth The Law School has grown steadily in recent years in anticipation of its move to the Amherst Campus last year. Three hundred new freshmen were admitted last year, and enrollment has increased by one-third, from 600 to 900 over the past three years. sas- sflgsDS efl5so*sfls =DS €D*»Om scoir Although the number of faculty has Increased at the rate of five new faculty lines per year, several spokesmen fear that because the move to Amherst has been completed, this may be the last year faculty lines are added. From then on, they claim, the only new faculty will be those who replace retirees. As faculty and other resources become scarce, their use in experimental becomes more and more controversial, the students explained. “People feel there should be innovation for innovation’s sake. I don’t,” commented more programs one of them. Necessary traditional requirements have been met, according to Dr. Schwartz, “and any school which cannot innovate is in danger of doing only what has been done in the past.” Criticism of the Simulated Law Firm (SLF) and Criminal Justice Specialist (CJS) programs has been particularly strong. These programs are guilty of diverting “substantial” resources away from traditional programs, the open letter claimed. Popular demand Several sources indicated that enrollment has.dramatically dropped in the Simulated Law Firm (SLF) although Dr. Schwartz said SLF is still popular among students. It was created, he stressed, in answer to a popular demand for programs that would familiarize students with actual professional practice. However, critics insist that programs like SLF occupy too many teaching hours while servicing only a limited number of students. The Criminal Justice Specialist program, still in the planning stages, has also become controversial. Many feel it diverts too many teaching hours from the professional program. “There isn’t the interest that tney presume there to be” in clinical programs, Mr. Bowie declared. This diversion of budgetary resources, he added, is probably making it impossible for the Law School to remedy deficiencies in the professional program, which really should be its first priorities.” Dr. Schwartz said, however, that this type of program is intended to enrich the traditional program, and that most of the resources were being provided by a grant. Collegians fear inadequate funding for hiring by Mitchell Regenbogen Campus Editor Some members of the Colleges fear the Administration will not provide adequate funding for the hiring of Collegiate faculty. Faculty participation is a major criteria used by the College Chartering committee in evaluating each college’s proposed charter. Funding and faculty involvement were significant issues in the debate over the Reichert Prospectus for the Colleges last spring. At that time, many college spokesman complained that the Prospectus would lead to a “catch-22” situation. They feared that the Colleges would not be able to attract faculty until they were officially chartered, but at the same time, they needed extensive faculty involvement in order to have their charters approved. Future of the budget Roger Cook, a member of the Social Sciences College, has reportedly been informed by Irving Spitzberg, dean of the Colleges, that a minimal amount of funds will be available for the hiring of social science faculty. “This came like an earthquake,” Mr. Cook said. He explained that the Colleges would have to rely on the “gratuity of the departments” to offer free faculty release time. Mr. Cook doubted, however, that academic departments would permit extensive release time, a practice that would reduce the number of departmental teaching hours each faculty member would serve. “Let’s face it it’s not going to happen,” he surmised. Mr. Cook does not believe the President’s office understands the seriousness of the problem. “Dr. Ketter is going to say it’s really not that bad. But a lot of us are - getting pretty tired,” he maintained. “The chartering process gave the impression that the sky’s the limit, but where is the pie in the sky now?” While Mr. Cook realizes there is a general tight money situation in the University, he would like to see a closer examination of the entire University budget. Funding problem Pam Benson, chairperson of the College Chartering committee, considers collegiate funding a crucial problem. She admits that “no one really knows what’s being done about the budget,” and indicated that the President's office “could not guarantee any type of money” in the form of increases. A serious consequence of the current financial uncertainty has been demonstrated in attempts to secure a “head master” for each College. The Prospectus requires that the head master have a two-year contract, but at this point, the Colleges can only guarantee enough money for one year, Ms. Benson said. The chairperson said the Colleges have seen a large increase in the number of involved faculty members. The increase has resulted in more than 100 faculty this year, in contrast to only 12 last year. However, Ms. Benson “did not know the extent of the participation.” She explained that College enrollment has decreased this semester, and that this might prejudice their budget requests in the eyes of the Administration. The decline in enrollment has been attributed, in part, to the elimination of a number of College E courses, which had previously attracted many students. Justifying requests Dr. Spitzberg denied that n. .ey for the Colleges would not be forthcoming. He indicated that the Colleges will receive a budget depending on how well each College can justify its own requests for money. “There are all sorts of justifications,” he explained, describing such factors as the number of students enrolled in the College, and the cost per student of a particular program. The Colleges will have to compare their expenditures with those of academic departments. They also must prove that they are “doing things that are not being done elsewhere in the University,” or serving constituencies that other segments of the University do not. Dr. Spitzberg explained. He foresees no problem with faculty participation. “The Colleges are having no trouble.” Very few are having any problem when they actually go to the departments, Dr. Spitzberg said. “There’s not going to be anywhere near what the Colleges need,” he admitted, but stressed that there would be extra funds for hiring faculty. According to Dr. Spitzberg, the Administration does not decide whether to give the Colleges additional money, but how much. The difficulty is that the Colleges “aren’t used to justifying their budget in this way,” he maintained. As a result of the general money crunch confronting the University, competition for funds will be very great. Dr. Spitzberg added. “We must put forward the strongest possible case,” he asserted, acknowledging that the Collegiate units must take their share from the same pot as all other segments of the University. “I would like to have money to buy faculty, instead of begging and borrowing from departments,” Dr. Spitzberg said. Members of the administration were in Albany for budget hearings and could not be reached for comment. �Communication is crucial » for interracial interaction he said, “I don’t believe it is possible, even in behavioral research, to transmit an understanding of a culture if people close themselves off from learning.” If you unknowingly disregard what is considered a taboo in a certain culture, and a person feels that you are openminded and willing to learn, he will most likely forgive you and react as if you did not break that taboo, Dr. Smith said. On the other hand, if you appear to be an individual who refuses to be taught, you will have insulted the other person and your action will not be pardonable. One factor which perpetuates interracial antagonism, declared Dr. Smith, is the traditional symbolism in our society. “The symbolic structure of a multi-racial society must be multi-racial. Presently, it is as if our society were homogeneous, in that sense,” he said. “In order to hold society together, we need a certain congruency between the symbols and what they by KJpjAVeiss Staff Writer Spectrum “In my view, what one feels deeply is radiated and expressed externally,” said Arthur Smith, Chairman of the Speech Communications Department. Dr. Smith has written a number of books, monographs, and articles in the past ten years which deal primarily with interracial communications. He has been inspired to write these works out of an intense personal interest in human interactions. Many of the controversial issues facing today, whether economic or political in nature, are manifested in communication problems according to Dr. Smith. “It should occur to us,” he explained, “that the real problem does not lie in the overt hostility between different races of people. That is simply the surface of something deeper.” Dr. Smith believes the real problem is “dealing with people on a human, one-to-one interacting basis.” It is impossible to do so, however, unless people are willing to confront their fundamental beliefs and attitudes rather than merely surfaced hostilities, he insisted. society Lack of knowledge Dr. Smith said interracial fears and misunderstandings arise from lack of knowledge of another’s culture. Further, represent.” . Gradual trend Dr. Smith, “abiding optimist,” sees a trend toward a restructuring of symbols, although he admits it will be a gradual process. Stereotyping also becomes a problem in communications, he believes. “When we allow false stereotypes to occur, which are simply shortcuts of our impressions of people as a group, they may hinder our influence stereotypes greatly,” he said. individual interactions,” he said. “One can only hope that the stereotypes Dr. Smith pointed out a study in the see developing in the future won’t we Journal of Black Studies (1971) made by the personality, but rather will negate Dennis University of Hawaii professor, and likewise broaden our it, enlarge almost which was described the Ogawa, in relationships.” of total reveral of the stereotype image Dr. Smith feels confident that there will blacks from 1930 to 1960. It showed, for soon be a dramatic change for the better, ’30’s, the blacks were that in example, race relations.

If this confortable distance is shortened by an overly enthusiastic or commanding speaker, a person may unknowingly engage in nervous behavior, such as looking to the floor, fidgeting with some small object, or even taking several steps backs, to compensate for this unacceptable position. “Personal space refers to an area with invisible boundaries surrounding a person’s body into which intruders may not enter,” says social psychologist Robert Sommer in his book, Personal Space: The Behavioral Basis of Design. Personal space, which varies according to the individual, does not extend equally in all directions. People are apt to tolerate the closer proximity of a stranger at their sides than directly in front. Dr. Sommer points out. Cultural differences Major differences exist between cultures in the social distances that people keep. Frenchmen and Latin Americans naturally sit much closer together when they converse than Englishmen and North Americans. In cars, for example, the latter tend to gravitate toward opposite ends of the seat. The same principle holds true in auditoriums or lecture halls, where many people would rather skip a seat than move in next to a stranger. The invasion of personal space is an intrusion into a person’s self-boundaries. Dr. Sommer notes. Hospital patients frequently complain that their bodies are continually violated by nurses, interns, and physicians who do not introduce themselves or explain their activities. ■ Spatial invasions are not uncommmon during police interrogations, according to Dr. Sommer. He points out that one police textbook recommends that the interrogator sit close to the suspect, with no table or desk between them, since “an obstruction of any sort affords the subject a certain degree of relief and confidence not otherwise obtainable.” At the beginning of the session, the officer’s chair may be two or three teet away, "but after the interrogation is under way, the interrogator should move his chair in closer so that ultimately one of the subject’s knees is just about in between the interrogator’s two knees.” Daylight phenomenon Dr. Sommer classifies personal space as a “culturally acquired daylight phenomenon.” Two people may avoid the natural embarrassment of intimate contact by dimming the lights or closing their eyes to reduce distracting external cues. Strangers react differently to a loss of personal space than friends. During rush hour, Dr. Sommer said, “subway riders lower their eyes and sometimes freeze or become rigid” to minimize unwanted social One of the earliest attempts to invade personal space on a systematic basis was undertaken by Williams, who wanted to learn how different people would react to excessive closeness. His results showed that introverts kept others at a greater conversational distance than extroverts. Dr. Sommer also mentions other types of “auditory assaults in which strangers invasions press personal narratives on hapless seatmates on airplanes and buses and olfactory invasions long celebrated in television commercials.” During a “two-person” invasion, two faculty members sitting on either side of a student might cause the latter to “freeze in his tracks” until the threatening figures — depart. An important consideration in defining spacial invasion is whether the parties involved perceive one another as persons. “A nonperson cannot invade someone’s personal space any more than a tree or chair can,” Dr. Sommer wrote. Thus, subway passengers who have adjusted to crowding through psychological withdrawal prefer to treat other riders as nonpersons to dispel any uncomfortable and embarrassed feelings. The.

Vague and sometimes incomplete ethics statements filed by the legislators were brought to light in a recent series in The Albany Times Union. The ethics statement is an annual form listing outside professional practices of state legislators and revealing any activities that could lead to a conflict of interest. Financial interests in activities that are regulated by state agencies, such as the Liquor Authority, the Public Service, Banking, and Insurance Departments, must also be included. The statement requires only the legislator to indicate whether those interests are above or below $5000. Vested interests The Albany newspaper has concluded that several legislative committees, including agriculture, banking and insurance, are over-represented by delegates from those industries. It was also revealed that many legislators who held stocks and bonds in banking firms help determine official policy for those institutions. Approximately one half of the legislators in Albany are lawyers, yet only 22 of the 209 members who filled out the form noted this on their ethics statements. Of those, just nine provided information about their clients and potential conflicts of interest that might result from their practices. Although the ethics statement is mandatory, there is no penalty for failing to file one. Filing deliberately false information, however, is a misdemeanor. These vague statements are the sole guide to what the legislators themselves consider conflicts of interest. Outside practices Assemblyman Dale Volker (R., Depew) was listed in the Albany paper as a “legislator claiming no conflicts.” .Mr. Volker, who has continued his part time law practice, told The Spectrum that the ethics statement does not require attorneys to list their private practice. He claimed that such involvement “doesn’t necessarily mean a conflict of interest.” Mr. Volker said he would be more than happy to fill out a more complete statement. He explained that committee assignments and industry representation often go hand in hand because “if you are going to get expertise, you have to have people who are knowledgeable.” However, the Depew legislator played down the problem of business influence on specific committees, pointing out that the full legislature ultimately considers all legislation. Assemblyman Albert Hausbeck (R., Buffalo) believes professionals should put aside their practices during the legislative session. There has been strong support for such a policy since it was revealed that Malcolm Wilson continued a part-time law practice during his years as Lt. Governor. Mr. Hausbeck explained the influence of special interests on certain committees, saying that a background in the particular field is helpful in performing proper legislative duties. every(nan's book store I 1 i OPEN!

Campus crime Sexual harassment in Ellicott-three arrested by Ilene Dube Feature Editor Two female students were sexually harassed by a man from Rochester Sunday night at the Ellicott Complex’s Fargo Dormitory. Gerald Anderson, 20, had been arrested on charges of sexual abuse, petty larceny, and two counts of harassment for grabbing one of the girls by the breast and throat, exposing himself and masturbating. According to statements made by the two girls and a report from Lee Griffin, assistant director of Campus Security, the incident happened as follows: Sometime before 5 p.m., Mark, Kevin and Gerald Anderson came to Fargo Hall with Kevin’s girlfriend, who resides at Ellicott. As Kevin went with his girlfriend to her room, his two brothers walked over to an open room, and began chatting with a girl inside. Wants to “make love” Two hours later, this same girl went to a friend’s room, where she shared a refrigerator. Gerald Anderson, who had been in her room before saw her carrying the food, and helped her take it back to her room. When she thanked him, he asked her if he could return after dinner, explaining that he wanted to make love to her. She promptly declined. Sometime later, when the girl was returning to her friend’s room, Mr. Anderson followed her, making all sorts of seductive remarks, according to Mr. Griffin. When she asked that he stop bothering her, he allegedly told her he wasn’t fooling around and grabbed her by the neck with two fingers. The girl said the man called her a “white bitch,” and told her she was prejudiced. Petty robbery He then left her room, and walked down the hall. When he stopped outside another door, another girl, who had been typing a paper, said, “Come in.” Her statement alleges that two males, later identified as Gerald and Mark Anderson entered her room. One of the brothers, Mr. Griffin reported, insisted that she look out the window while the other brother took a five dollar bill from her desk drawer. The men reportedly showed her the bill and threatened to take her typewriter. One of them then called her a “white bitch” and lowered his pants, exposing his genitals. He repeated the request “suck me” several times, and in a later report, the girl admitted that he had masterfoated in front of her. The two men then left, meeting their brother Kevin, who was still with his girlfried. As they reached the first floor in the elevator, Kevin’s girlfriend, upon learning that they had taken five dollars, insisted they return the money. Prior criminal record Campus Security was initially notified by Steve Sarafm, the head resident at Fargo. He had been informed of the incident by the girls’ resident advisor (RA). A subsequent investigation led to the arrest of the three brothers. Kevin and Mark Anderson were charged with obstruction of government administration and resisting of arrest, and it was later learned that there was a third degree warrant out in Rochester for one of the brother’s arrest. After, Security was notified, Kevin’s girlfriend took the boys’ car and led a chase scene through the parking lot*. When cornered, the group jumped from the car and ran into the dormitory. Security soon arrested them, after a slight scuffle in which one officer was slightly injured. When two of the brothers tried to help a third, they too were arrested. Kevin and Mark Anderson have been released on $50 and $100 bail, respectively, while Gerald has not been able to post bail, since he must raise $500. Kevin and Mark were arraigned in the town of Amherst Monday morning.

His voice cracking with emotion, he described the painful look on Curly’s face following a severe stroke on the set, and the even more painful attempt at a comeback. He wasn’t just talking down to us; he was relating a confidence. It is doubtful whether any other speaker will work the magic and radiate the charm of a Moe Howard. Too often, commercial theatricality replaces true entertainment, and sincerely gets lost in trying to impress the audience. In the same way the Stooges captured their movie and television audiences, Moe enchanted his by simply being himself. On the way back to his hotel that night, Moe remarked that in all his years in show business, he has not enjoyed a much finer audience than the one in the Fillmore Room.

Organized in the U.S. by members of the Venceremous Brigade, this was the first delegation of student journalists to visit Cuba since the 1959 Revolution. This is the third in a series articles about his experiences in Cuba. of by Paul Krehbiel Contributing Editor Agriculture has always been the mainstay of the Cuban economy, and still plays an important role today. Before the revolution, most of the fertile land was owned by a small group of Cuban landowners and U.S. companies. A significant number of families owned small plots of land of 10 hectares (one hectare 2.4 acres) or less, and earned on the average only $37.54 a month, according to government figures. In contrast, the large plantation owners had an average monthly income of over = $3300. Many peasants didn’t own any land and worked on the plantations, averaging perhaps $15 a month. Sharecroppers, tenant farmers and squatters (who were subjected to a kind of serfdom), worked long hours and paid high rents to the landowner with inadequate housing and little or no education or medical care, the life of the peasants was one of constant misery. While a small class of wealthy Cubans owned much of the land, a great portion of the best land was owned by American companies, such as the Cuban Atlantic Sugar Company, the American Refining Company and the United Fruit Company. Land reform During the Revolutionary War in October of 1958, the Rebel army passed a law on land reforms in the liberated territories of the Sierra Meastra, which gave the land to those who worked on it. Enrique, a guide for our tour, said his family lived near the foot of the mountains, and gave food and shelter to the guerrillas, “as most everyone did.” After the triumph of the Revolution, the first nation-wide law on agrarian reform was passed. The new government formed the National Institute of Agrarian Reform, giving sharecroppers, tenant farmers and squatters sugar cane, Cuba’s main export crop, and 80% of the beef, pork and poultry. In 1960 the small farmers and collective farmers formed the National Association of Small Farmers to increase wages, improve working conditions, help plan Cuba’s food production, and assist in planning the building of hospitals, schools and new housing in the rural areas. We visited a post-revolution workers resort in Soroa, Pinar del Rio, and spoke to an agricultural worker who was swimming with his family. We asked him about his life, both before and after the revolution. He said he was a peasant before the revolution, and “worked about four months in the sugar-cane harvest.” The hours were long, the pay was low, and he “was unemployed the rest of the year,” he explained. Surplus food The peasants used to grow sweet potatoes in the ditch between the owner’s land and the alongside the • road road so they could eat until the next sugar-cane harvest. Sweet potatoes grow quickly, so they provide a more-or-less steady diet. But often, he said, “we went hungry.” This man now works year round on a farm, eight hours a day, at much higher pay, and says he is naturally a “strong supporter of the revolution.” He has since gone to school, and learned to read. “The children now have a future,” he said. Beaming with smiles and shaking our hands, he said, “Tell the American people the truth about Cuba.” In Oriente Province, we visited a large vegetable farm and canning plant, in a rural area that is being developed into a living community, with schools, medical clinics and cultural centers. Traveling around the island, we saw sugar cane fields, hemp fields, cattle ranches and workers harvesting bananas. With the increasing industrialization of Cuba, however, some people are moving to the urban centers to work in industrial enterprises. — — Peasant women During some free time one afternoon in Havana, we talked with a young woman who came from a peasant family in Orienle. Before the revolution, her family “was very poor,” she said. "At 15, 1 had only a 4th grade education."

Uruguay — — such as these exist in almost every phase of industrial production Struggle for reforms ■■ Because of the low wages and poor working conditions of the Cuban workers before the revolution, Cuban history is filled with powerful strikes and demonstrations in the struggle for reforms. A significant number of workers were organized into unions, and Cuba experienced nation-wide strikes several times in an effort to better the working conditions. This high level of organization and class-consciousness, we were told, is credited to the efforts of the Cuban Communist party, which frequently worked illegally. After the revolution, the most urgent demands of the workers were implemented immediately, and laws were written to guarantee certain rights for working people. Among these is the right to accept or reject a job; the right to organize unions and participate directly in resolving labor disputes, and the right to an increasing role in the planning and execution of the economy. In addition, workers receive free job training, a one-month vacation per year, and social security benefits. Cuba’s industrial unions are all united in the Central Union of Cuban Workers (CTC), which, we were told, is a very powerful organization in Cuba. We visited Havana’s shipping and fishing port, a machine shop, and a number of construction projects, and spoke to the workers on each of these jobs. - * Soviet equipment In the machine shop, we saw a variety of machines from the Soviet Union. Practically all workers have joined trade unions, a black welder told us, because the unions have effectively worked on behalf of the workers. The Union’s Committee of Protection, for example, has made surC that all welders have face shields and protective clothing. This committee also checks on the safety of the tools, equipment, parts and work area, and has the authority to demand repairs before the workers go on the job. “How do you feel about the revolution,” we asked? “Well, of course I strongly support it,” he answered. The revolution is a process we have more rights now and more opportunity to develop our potential. Our work is now done collectively, and since there are jobs for everyone in society, we don’t have to compete with one another for work,” he explained. “We have improving conditions, so we have a desire to work for the revolution. We feel that we have a purpose and direction in our lives.” — Agricultural workers take their mid-afternoon break during Cuba's banana harvest. throughout the island the land they worked on, and turning the large plantations into collective farms. While only the largest plantations (over 400 hectares) and the foreign-owned lands were nationalized, many medium-sized private landowners sabatoged production and revolted against the government. The second agrarian reform law was passed on October 3, 1963, which limited the size of privately owned land to 67.1 hectares (roughly 160 acres), and the state-owned land became the decisive sector, in a 57.9% to 42.1% ratio. Bulwark of the revolution According to the government, the small farmers “constitute the bulwark of the revolution in rural areas,” producing 46% of the grain, 70% of the fruit and vegetables, and 80% of the coffee, tobacco and cocoa. The state-owned sector produces 70% to 76% of the gone to school “to study chemicals,” she explained. “Do the Cuban people support socialism,” we asked? “Of course,” she answered. “We have seen how it has made our life better.” Before the revolution, Cuba’s industrial sector was not highly developed, and much of what existed, was controlled by U.S. firms. After the revolution, industrialization increased when large private companies and foreign-owned firms were nationalized. From 1954-58, Cuba’s textile industry processed 40,000 metric tons of raw cotton, all of which was imported. In 1961-65, 70,000 metric tons were processed, according to government statistics, while 17,000 metric tons of raw cotton were home grown. In the cement industry, less than 3 million metric tons were produced in the first period, and over 4 million metric tons were produced in the second period. Increases Equal rights “Have you ever felt any racial discrimination,” we inquired further? “No,” he replied. “As you can see, black people have the same rights and receive the same treatment as anyone else.” Everywhere we went, black people and light-skinned people of Spanish descent were working, socializing and studying together. Both light and dark skinned people held jobs as industrial workers, dish-washers and administrators. As we were leaving the machine shop, the supervisor pointed out some other safety devices used in the plant. “The workers’ life is more important than the product,” he said. “Here, under socialism, products are not produced for the private profit of a few individuals, so we can take the time and money to keep our work places safe.” “After all,” he added, “if the worker is not well, he will be a less productive member of society.” Wednesday, 2 October 1974 The Spectrum .

Sometimes it is a little too late to really call it a flash, since you have already opened an envelope and an all too easily remembered handwriting is staring at you. My defenses clearly involve anger at such people. The reality that such a feeling gives itself away as defensive in the very process of occuring simply makes me feel more foolish and/or angry.

Unfortunately, the use of fossil fuels or the conversion of coal to liquid fuels will not have a beneficial effect until the late 1980's.

A highly valuable person. consider mass transit a realistic alternative because of the numerous to trucking and automobile interests who habitually lobby for the Highway Trust Fund. Yet the fact remains that we will become even more dependent on the world oil market if we do not start using less. The development of mass transit could go hand in hand with a moratorium on the construction of public parking facilities and an increase in the price of highway tolls and gasoline. Most people shudder at the prospect of another price hike and the thought of losing the convenience of an automobile, but a new special tax on gas would almost certainly be enough of an economic hardship on most people to make car use less frequent. The revenues generated from such a tax could be used for new job programs, tax refunds and federal oil stamps for people in the lower income brackets, as several legislators have wisely proposed. This reduction in the use of automobiles will have to be accompanied by other measures as well, if the U.S. is to be weaned from the foreign oil market. Congress should give strong consideration to legislation that would provide tax incentives to companies that construct buildings which can be heated by solar energy, and should similarly encourage the use of natural substances in place of "oil-based" materials. Perhaps even more important than these practical steps is the government’s acknowledgement that there is a most severe energy crisis. It is pointless to improve people's morale by denying the gravity of a problem as Mr. Nixon did earlier this year when he told the American public that the energy crisis had ended. The energy shortage should be confronted, not evaded, if we are to find some way of surmounting it. And most importantly, we all must realize that the inexhaustible supply of conveniences that we are accustomed to could be shut off without warning if people are not willing to sacrifice their “forgot” to throw away items with such impact, or that they did not have such impact before, or that they were kept around Just to make me angry. There may be some reality to the anger part.

You fall in love for yourself, and the other person owes you nothing for doing it. They have their own hassles to deal with. What makes the world a much more pleasant place to live is when the object of such feelings doesn’t have to charge you for them, as it feels to me sometimes occurs. 1 have such feelings where 1 have them, and so be it Bui what has caused the greatest amount of scar tissue is when those feelings get used for leverage.

Hull Syn.lir.U- *?•?? fro here A parents' right to ther by Garry Wills To the Editor. — In 1968, Senator Edward Kennedy stayed away from the Democratic National Convention. He was only 36 years old, and the sentimental vote for his recently murdered brother (and colleague in the Senate) would have been forcing things. The reluctance he showed about stepping in over Robert Kennedy’s corpse did not deter George McGovern, who divided the anti-war forces between die-hard “Kennedy men” and Eugene McCarthy’s followers. Chicago that year was not a pretty scene, and Ted Kennedy had the good sense not to grace it with his presence, despite desperate last-minute calls for him to descend on the convention and “save the party.” It was a new call then, but it has become an old one since. It is a call he finally silenced in last Monday’s press conference but that is getting ahead of our Women’s Studies College supports the U.B Day Care Center’s demand for state funded, parent-controlled day care on this campus. We recognize that childcare has historically been the responsibility of individual women, and is a main factor in keeping women from assuming productive roles in areas outside of the home. At UB this has meant that women have been denied the opportunity to benefit from the resources of the University. The Day Care Center is not alone in its struggle. Women’s Studies College and all progressive units on this campus are involved in the same on-going struggle to maintain our programs and services. Socialized childcare is not a privilege, but a right of all parents and children. - story. Women's Studies 1972, Kennedy again absented himself the convention, arriving only after McGovern was chosen, and leaving before the nonsense of his running as vice president could gain credence with anyone but the self-hypnotized McGovern himself. The gallant World War II aviator had already become a kamikaze flyer, and Kennedy had to refuse if for no other reason than to save himself for College In from “It’s common practice to interfere with other governments if they’re elected, that is” - better things. Now he has denied himself those better Jie deserves credit for the magnitude of that choice. A Kennedy lives with an obligation to glory imposed upon him. What is the point of that name if one is not aiming to be President? Of course, Chappaquiddick had wounded him, along with the crippling of his child and the troubled state of his wife’s health. But other presidential candidates, including the current President and his predecessor, have trudged on against the pressures from their family and they did not have the special doom of being a Kennedy to prod them forward. Perhaps Kennedy could not have won the Presidency, but he could have stopped other Democrats along the things, and — H Bombs for way and that would be enough for some men bit with the presidential fever. It was enough, after all, to make McGovern go against McCarthy and McGovern was supposed to be in 1968 “the most decent man in the Senate.” - Senator Kennedy adduced only family reasons for his withdrawal. But reasons of the public good support the choice. The Kennedy glamour has called up an ugly and envious hatred, of which two assassinations are but the most vivid symbols. And the Kennedy myth has contributed, more than anything in recent years, to the cult of the Presidency, to the hope that anything will be all right if the “right” man gets in the right man being any member of that mythical dynasty that was founded in the slap-happy first days of Camelot. That myth helped on the imperial mania that gave us Nixon and the best thing Senator Kennedy can do to instill a post-Watergate morality is to discourage the cult of personality which concentrated on irrelevant social graces in JFK, and on their lack in LBJ and RN. To expect such an abdication from any scrambling politician is a great deal especially from a Kennedy. But I did expect it from this Kennedy. The suspicion about other members of his family was that they idled along in lesser jobs (in the Senate or on investigating committees) just using them to aim at higher power. The youngest of the brothers never quite fit that pattern. He seemed, despite aberrations and extraordinary pressures, to be content with decent and thorough performance at the level of a Senator. I hope that proves to be the case. All his accumulated influence for good can be maximized there, and would only have been dissipated by an attempt on the White House. - - — So one of the dooms of being a Kennedy be, in the living Senator’s case, a determined absence from his party’s national conventions. Some idiots will still live in dream with thoughts of a “draft” in 1976. Senator Kennedy will be returning more people than those idiots to reality as he keeps quashing all such thoughts. must Campus Security As long as this situation exists and continues to To the Editor. The outcry against the dangers of nuclear death all but disappeared since the “atomic scare period” of the early sixties. And yet the need for such concern has become increasingly pronounced in has the early seventies. Scientists now concede that information necessary for assembling fissionable devices is readily available in scholarly and scientific journals. Now any individual or group with access to nuclear material and a physics major has the capability of constructing his own atomic bomb. exist, safety will be confined to the boundaries of a fallout shelter. This is of particular concern here at the University since it is the site of much atomic material. As it has been pointed out with great eloquence in the past, unarmed campus security guards are helpless in the face of nuclear attack. It is for this reason that I would call upon the student body to pass a resolution granting campus security the right to carry nuclear arms.

During Sukkoth, Jews hope that the decision reaches on Yom Kippur by God was a favorable one and that the following year will be one of life. The Succoth hut is constructed of 4 walls of any suitable material, usually plywood. Most important is the ceiling, which must be constructed from plant life, leaves or branches. These leaves and branches are placed in such a way that the stars can be viewed at night. Jews who observe Sukkoth eat all their meals in the sukkah for seven days, and in warmer climates, sleeping in the sukkah is common. According to the Biblical account, Jews lived in these during their temporary huts journey through the desert after being freed from Egyptian twpxTewish holidays entitled "La Situacion Socio-linguistica del Paraguay" Wednesday, October 2nd at 4:00 p.m in the new Linguistics Department Lounge Cl01 Spaulding Quad. Ellicott Complex, Amherst Campus - Something Special on Sunday EveningI U.UJLB. Music Committee presents Leo & Kottke , /./. Cale Claire Hammil 9:00 p.m. Sunday, October 6 bondage. Although the exodus occurred in the spring, Sukkoth is celebrated in the fall to show that the reason for moving into the sukkah is a religious one, and not for comfort. In the United States, Sukkoth serves as a reminder to be thankful for protection from the elements of nature. Sitting in the makeshift temporary hut and feeling the rain and wind brings realization of the discomforts nature can bring, according to Rabbi Hofmann. Dual purpose Sukkoth comes at the time of year when harvest is concluded. “This describes the festival’s second purpose to express gratitude for the blessings of the earth,” Rabbi Hofmann explained. This aspect of the celebration is symbolized by collecting a lulav (a palm branch), an ethrot (a citrus fruit that looks like a lemon), three branches of myrtle, and two branches of the willow of the brook. These items are taken together and offered symbolically to God as an act of thanksgiving for the past year. According to some interpretations, this offering is a prayer for the blessing of produce in the future. Thus Sukkoth ties together the past and future in an act of thanksgiving for the past, and prayer for the future, Rabbi Hofmann explained. Still another interpretation is common among those who believe that each of the four symbols represents a group in the —” IN STOCK community: either scholars, pious Jews, those who are both scholarly and pious, and those who are neither. The lesson of the four symbols is that each group has a place in the community and a contribution to make to the community’s well-being. There are no exceptions, Rabbi Hofmann explained. Simchath Torah On the second Jewish holiday in October, Simchath Torah, Jews rejoice over the Torah. There is an annual reading of the Torah which is completed on the second day of this holiday with the last passage in Deuteronomy. A new cycle is then begun with the reading of Genesis. The occasion is one of happiness and celebration, and there is singing and dancing and expression of joy over the Torah. Jews show their love for these principles by celebrating two important holidays. Many believe that living according to the guidelines in the Torah contribute to improving life and making it a more worthwhile experience. Rabbi Hofmann explained that even though the Torah is demanding, one is better off living with Torah than without it. Jews realize that through these demands they can transform their lives into something more morally and spiritually fulfilling. For those who would like to see a Sukkah, Rabbi Hofmann invites you to view the one built Sunday on the Hillel grounds at 40 Capen Blvd. - NOW!

They must then “reaffirm their allegiance to the United States” and agree to spend up to two years in public service jobs. Ford also announced the creation of a nine-member “clemency board” to review the cases of those already convicted of desertion of draft evasion. Members of the amnesty movement were sharply critical of the Ford program both because it punishes those who opposed the U.S. involvement in Indochina and because it fails to take into account the half-million men and women who received less-than-honorable discharges from the military as a result of their anti-war or anti-racism activities while in the service. AMEX-Canada, the largest American exile organization, hosted a conference in Toronto September 21 and 22 to organize a boycott of the Ford amnesty program. The conference included American exiles from Britian, France and Sweden as well as Canada. - Peoples' right “We will boycott the Ford program because we feel the American people have the right to resist unjust force,” explained Charlie Stimac. “We feel it is necessary to continue to build our right for a universal unconditional amnesty in order to prevent future wars of this nature and to support the peoples’ right of resistance against them.” Among the many other groups opposing the Ford program are Vietnam Veterans the War/Winter Soldier Against Organization (WAW/WSO), the American Servicemen’s Union (ASU), the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU), and the American Friends Service Committee (AFSC). WAW/WSO termed the Ford program “a highly conditional amnesty for some 10% of the war resisters.” By this WAW/WSO notes that the amnesty program is only extended to the approximately 50,000 exiles while it ignores the estimated 560,000 people who received less-than-honorable discharges from the military. The veterans organization also notes that there are about 200,000 resisters now living underground in the United States who should be given total amnesty. Admit wrongdoing “The growing amnesty movement holds a threat for the U.G. government because universal, unconditional amnesty requires that they admit that their exploits in Southeast Asia were wrong,” stated Winter called for.” The ACLU also noted that the newly created Amnesty Review Board, which will do case-by-case reviews of exiles and deserters, “places a burden on men to articulate their conscientious object to the war. This may be difficult for many of them since it was the poorer, less educated men who were not deferred because they did not have access to adequate draft counseling and educational deferrment programs.” Unconditional amnesty Similarly, the American Friends Service Committee called Ford’s conditional amnesty “totally inadequate.” “It is clear that the majority of persons in need of amnesty,” said the AFSC executive secretary Louis W. Schneider, “will find it fiSS prison while his case is reviewed, said, “I’d rather serve a jail term than take a low-paying menial job.” Steve Bezich of Chicago refused to leave the federal prison at El Reno, Oklahoma saying he wouldn’t accept anything short of complete amnesty. Several others who did leave said they would return rather than accept alternative service. Similarly, the Justice Department has reported only a handful of calls asking information about surrendering. And the only confirmed case of a resister who has turned himself in is a man in San Francisco. Unconditional amnesty activists clearly view the thrust of Ford’s amnesty as an attempt to divide the amnesty movement. Protest continues Many who resisted or deserted during the “peak war years” continue in their opposition to U.S. activities in Southeast Asia both in the past and currently. For them the central point is that U.S. activities in Southeast Asia are criminal actions not the actions of those people who refused to take part in the war. “They are trying to sweep the war under the rug,” said Charlie Stimac at AMEX. “We can’t push aside the issue of 200,000 political prisoners in South Vietnam and that the war is still going on because of U.S. aid to Thieu.” He added: “What is Ford saying with this type of amnesty? He’s saying that opposition to .this type of war is wrong. He’s saying that people who stand up against the government must be punished. “Just look at what Ford has said recently,” stressed Mr. Stimac. “It’s just a continuation of the Nixon foreign policy. He said we can just walk into Chile and overthrow the government. “We feel that the majority of the people in the United States and across the world supported the struggle against U.S. involvement in Southeast Asia and oppose the idea that the United States can intervene any where any time it wants. “We feel that the struggle for unconditional amnesty is a struggle for the rights of people to legitimize their actions against the Vietnam War and part of a broad-based struggle for the rights of people to resist such actions by their — — CWPON^ Soldier, the WAW/WSO paper. “Clearly Ford hopes that his conditional amnesty proposal will divert the growing militancy and strength of the anti-imperialist amnesty movement.” The American Servicemen’s Union termed the Ford amnesty program "a cruel hoax” and predicted that it would be “justifiably rejected by the great majority of those eligible for amnesty.” Ex-Pfc Peter Perkins of the ASU said: “The entire concept behind Ford’s so-called ‘amnesty plan’ is that the courageous people who refused to take part in a war of criminal aggression must now return and do two years of ‘penance’ to the war machine which prosecuted this genocidal war.” The ACLU also predicted that “few men will participate in the program,” labeling Ford’s amnesty “far short of the unconditional amnesty the ACLU has impossible both to apply for this program and to maintain their integrity. This is consistent with their withdrawal from the war and we support them. We call for and work for universal cortinue to u . onditional amnesty.” Ilie AFSC also noted that “the major of p oblem upgrading the k .s-than-honorable discharges is omitted” id stated that “to require a pledge of legiance of these ‘offenders’ is degrading them and to the United States.” The AFSC also emphasized that “we are .ill far from peace in Indochina,” but added that “as one small step in building peace” full unconditional amnesty should be offered to those who wish it. Many of those already imprisoned for draft resistance have also indicated their opposition to Ford’s amnesty program.

The Board, which will re-evaluate all intersections under its jurisdiction, is concerned that with the change, “people will turn on any signal,” not just the designated ones, he said. Right turns on red traffic signals will be permitted at designated intersections throughout New York State beginning tomorrow, it has been announced. The affected intersections will be identified by signs reading Right on Red After Stop. The turning car must yield to pedestrians and vehicle traffic crossing the intersection in its path, however. Though the law is effective Tuesday, the designating signs will not be installed immediately. Localities which have control over streets and intersections will conduct feasibility studies at each location to determine whether the right turn on red will actually be permitted. State intersections Mr. Deptula noted that because many intersections in the area of the Ridge Lea and Amherst Campuses involve state highways, several will not be affected by the new law. The right turn will not be permitted on state highways because the acceleration speed is not fast enough to avoid interfering with the flow of traffic. Mr. Deptula said the right turn won’t be permitted at any roadway with a speed limit about 35 miles per hour, in fact.

The resignation comes at a time when Sub-Board, faced with spiraling costs and decreasing Student Association allocations, is cutting back its activities and reducing its services. Mr. Goldstein considered his job the most expendable in the Sub-Board organization. Last January, his two-year contract as business manager expired and he decided not to renew it. He was then assigned to his position as executive assistant. “There are no big projects this year. Sub-Board is in a position of just maintaining itself,” Mr. Goldstein said, acknowledging that the corporation could no longer afford its highly paid employees. Sub-Board’s operating budget has dropped about $100,000 from its 1971 peak of $850,000. One of the functions of Mr. Goldstein’s job has been to design a system whereby Sub-Board could operate without him. “It was an unusual position to be in, working to eliminate your own job,” he said. A part-time employee will now handle his work.

BUFFALO BAR TRAINING L Sub-Board money is now invested in projects “most likely to succeed.” The trend recently is to start operations which will eventually run themselves without the fee,” remarked Mr. Goldstein. The clinical laboratories in Michael Hall, for example, are now able to operate without additional investments from Sub-Board. Mr. Goldstein said the lab would not be hurt even if student fees were reduced or eliminated. —continued from page 1 . democratic system “At the most charitable, Rockefeller’s handling of Attica characterized as must be incompetent,” Mr. Burns continued. “As an example of his ability to discharge executive authority under stress in a crisis it shows him to be, at best, inadequate.” - Mr. Goldstein said he did not foresee the resources of Sub-Board increasing as long as funding continues to originate from student activity fees. Because Sub-Board’s annual allocation is usually uncertain, the corporation cannot make long-term commitments. Mr. Goldstein considers a voluntary fee program one possible solution to some of these fiscal problems.

Mr. Ettinger said he would try to solve all problems at first through personal appeals and negotiations.

Ms. Smith, who has recently organized a series of meetings for commuter students, feels that “it is the responsibility of the SA to provide for commuters.” While long range improvements may take at least a few years, both Ms. Smith and Mr, Scinta are hopeful that the commuters will band into a viable student group. Parking and transportation On a survey conducted last year on commuter dissatisfaction, more than 200 students responded by listing parking and transportation as the number one problems. The solutions called for by commuters included open parking in faculty and visitor lots and the construction of a multi-story parking ramp. Ms. Smith conceded that the parking problem is almost impossible to solve. One possible she suggested, might be the improvement, establishment of open parking at Amherst. And while a ramp could not feasibly be constructed on the Main Campus, the idea should be explored for Amherst, she said. Another suggestion to alleviate parking difficulties is the revival of the student car pool. This idea will be carefully reviewed, since last year’s SA car pool did not fare particularly well. Ms. Smith said plans are also being considered tor an alternative Buffalo "ride board" to allow students to form their own car pools.

Profits breakdown of food and vending services profits revealed that net incomes from vending totaled over $51,000 while food services made nearly $23,000. FSA also reviewed budgets for the new Norton Union facilities and Creative Crafts Center to be built at the Amherst Campus The Craft Center will allow only paid members to attend classes and make use of the facilities. Fees will be $10.00 for students, $15.00 for students and their families, and $45.00 for those outside the University community. help out students Access to SA and UUAB nighttime activities has always been difficult for commuters, too. Some students work, others lack transportation, and others live too far from campus to make the trip there more than once a day. Ms. Smith said the easiest way to encourage commuter participation would be to schedule such activities a few hours earlier, including mixers, afternoon lectures, movies and coffeehouses. A number of students suggested a nightly campus bus route that would enable commuters without cars to attend these activities. “The intramural program also needs alteration,” declared Ms. Smith. “Several commuters complained that they could not join intramurals as individuals, only as members of a team.” The solution, she said, is an informal intramural program that could be arranged on a non-team set-up. Lockers Another frustrating aspect of commuter life is an absence of commuter lockers. “You end up like a pack mule,” said one commuter, “carrying around raincoats and jackets, library books, umbrella, boots, and so on.” Ms. Smith called for the installation of lockers, either on a rental basis to students or on a coin-operated basis. The responsibility for this installation, she feels, belongs to the Faculty-Student r Association. Ms, Smith has also considered the reopening of the Norton checkroom. This idea has criticized by Norton House Council representative-Paul Kade, however, who asserted that the SA should not hire Authority N iaea i a frontier subway is (NFTA) additional problems, according to Ms. Smith.

Ms. Smith urged the SA and future wards free student transit on the NFTA line University Unaware She reported that commuter students are generally out of touch with goings-on at the University. “1 resent the tact that I’m from Buffalo and I feel out of place here,” was one comment she received. Students expressed a strong interest in becoming more actively involved here but were prevented by a serious lack of information. Suggestions included consolidating information in a weekly hand-out or newsletter rather than relying solely on The Spectrum. It was further recommended that the information phone number be more widely distributed. There is also a need to better publicize organizations funded by the SA and Sub-Board I, like Legal Aid, the Birth Control Clinic, and the Music Library. “Many commuters do not attend freshman orientation and do not get a feel for the University until it confronts them on the first day of classes,” Ms. Smith said. She recommended that the SA become more visible during the first few weeks to people to staff the checkroom, since the Administration traditionally pays for staffing of Norton Hall. Ms. Smith contends that the checkroom should be reopened as a step towards providing commuter space. On the personal level, commuters often find it difficult to meet other people, unlike dormitory students. Commuters surveyed urged the SA to "sponsor some mixer-type activities to mix the commuter with the resident prisoner.” Many commuters, Ms. Smith maintained, said they want to meet dorm residents; others requested “a program which would help break down the irrational hostility felt by commuters toward many dorm students.” Furthermore, commuters would be given the opportunity to meet other commuters through SA-sponsored lunches and coffeehouses. While more weekly meetings with commuters have been scheduled, Ms. Smith warned that these problems would “take a long time” to correct. Mr. Scinta added, “we don’t want to segregate the commuter from the rest of the student body. We want to integrate them eventually, and improve the whole situation on campus.” Monday, 30 September 1974 .

Quarles told a news conference on August 16 that the EPA’s proposal would let the states give industrial and economic growth priority over protection of pure air. He said it would allow construction of huge 1000 megawatt coal burning power plants, petroleum refinieries, oil shale processors, coal gasification plants and other installations that pollute the air where the air is currently more pure than national regulations require. In the 1970 Clean Air Act, Congress required establishment of federal standards forbidding all pollution harmful to human health plus later more stringent standards protecting animals, plants, property and environmental values. In 1972, the Sierra Club took the EPA to court, arguing that the purposes of the Clean Air Act to “protect and enhance” air quality meant that air already cleaner than that required by the national standards must not be polluted at all. Federal courts agreed that the law intended to forbid any “significant deterioration” of existing clean air, but they did not say how much pollution would constitute “significant” deterioration. The EPA’s proposed regulations are that agency’s answer. It said, “Deterioration of air quality can be regarded as “significant” only within the broader perspective of public expectations and desires concerning the manner in which a particular region should be developed.” Pa ge ( fouiy If the EPA regulations are formalized as is, the Sierra Club promises to wage another court battle. The environmental group maintains that the EPA’s proposed policy has already been rejected in the courts and would be rejected again. Even so, the EPA is already negligent in watchdogging air pollution permitted by the states. “The burden of the Clean Air Act rests mainly with the state,” said a spokesperson for the Sierra Club. “The EPA is supposed to evaluate a state’s plans and presumably reject them if necessary. But by and large the state plans are grossly inadequate. A Government Accounting Office report has said that overall enforcement of air pollution regulations is a slow and inefficient process; quite inadequate.” DEPARTMENT OF MUSIC I**-" CHAPLIN SERIES CITY LIGHTS a October 8 - 23 KING in NEW YORK 9 - LIMELIGHT October 22 October 29 30 - "encounter w/th Robert Cole, Assoc.

During the war, the U.S. battleship Maine was blown up in Havanna harbor, and America entered the war against Spain. Spain surrendered to the U.S. in 1898, and Cuba proclaimed her independence. The U.S. didn’t leave Cuba, though, but sent in 15 regiments of military men and took Guantanamo Bay as a naval base. The Platt Amendment, dictated by representatives from the United States, said “the government of Cuba agrees that the U.S. Army may exercise the right of intervention for the preservation of independence . . .”, and then put an obscure figure, Tomas Palma, into the office of the Presidency.

According to the official census of 1953 (the last taken before the revolution), roughly three-fourths of all rural housing was bohios, huts with palm leaf roofs and mud floors. 90 percent of these lacked bathrooms, and nearly that many used kerosene for lighting fuel. Peasants owned little or no land and had to work on large estates owned by foreigners of by the small upper class of wealthy Cubans.

The Spectrum Page five . �TRB DITORIAL Carey for governor } Hugh Carey's progressive views on education, his concrete ideas about how to fight unemployment, and his reputation as an effective legislator make him well-qualified to be governor of New York State. Over the past few months Mr. Carey has overcome the opposition of the old-line party bosses and forged a new coalition of liberals, working-class democrats and disenfranchised conservatives. As a Congressman, Mr. Carey consistantly demonstrated a committment to aid to education, the expansion of legal services, help for the handicapped and public housing legislation. He believes the State should bear the bulk of the cost of a college education, and would fight to hold the line on sky-rocketing State University of New York (SUNY) tuition costs and maintain free tuition for the City University of New York (CUNY). Congressman Carey feels many of SUNY's current financial problems can be alleviated by keeping tuition down, frequently making reference to the report of the National Committee on the Financing of Post Secondary Education, which found that for every $100 increase in tuition there would be a 2.5 percent drop in enrollments. While all candidates are inclined to make promises that are politically expedient, Mr. Carey has long been an outspoken critic of the upper-lower division award differentials in the Tuition Assistance Program (TAP) and favors increasing financial awards to students from families with more than one child in college. He would strive to create a State work-study program and would open to the public all meetings at which formal action is taken by the SUNY Board of Trustees. Mr. Carey has repeatedly stressed his support for State-funded day care and would oppose any legislation aimed at banning the student mandatory fee. He also feels that students should be allowed to vote at their college residence if they consider it their permanent domicile. In the area of unemployment Mr. Carey wants to work with labor, management and private industry in reopening the Brooklyn Navy Yard and would create more jobs through a program of public works. Malcolm Wilson, on the other hand, has been vague about the prospects of a tuition hike and the future of the mandatory student fee. He is a fiscal conservative, supports the current regressive tax structure and New York State's drug law, and would do nothing to curb unemployment. New York would only be plunged into greater social and economic difficulties if Malcolm Wilson remains in office for another four years. If the State is to begin moving forward and students' interests are to be protected, Hugh Carey must become the next governor. Because his election hinges on a big voter turnout, college students who have been lax about voting must be sure they file for absentee ballots in the next week or two and start informing as many students as they can about Carey's unswerving committment to low-cost education for everyone. If New Yorkers cannot spare a few minutes of their time to fill out ballots they will continue to be denied rights which really should be taken for granted.

Inc. of the from Washington September 30, 1974 One of the worst disasters in the history of mankind is now slowly taking shape before the horrified eyes of official observers. It is the fate v of about one billion people, the forgotten billion, who are at the population base of the underdeveloped countries; they are the innocent bystanders in gathering battle between the oil-exporting countries and the oil-importing countries. In the past week President Ford and Secretary Kissinger began to talk tough to the oil-exporting countries. They have reason for alarm, for the price of petroleum has quadrupled in the past two years and it is one of the principal causes for world inflation. Possibly even more serious than inflation is the glut of undistributed capital amassed by the oil exporters. It threatens a breakdown in the international banking system: a breakdown possibly like the Thirties. The world has never seen anything like this before: one group of nations, mostly Arab, with the ability and nerve to raise almost at will the price of a key industrial requirement, and another group of nations, the vastly richer industrial countries, churning around among themselves, wondering what to do. In such a struggle who cares about the third element in the drama, the loincloth beggars of global society, the poor people of the poorest countries, who find that everything they need to survive is scarcer and dearer and that fewer crumbs are coming their way. Until the last minute, Washington believed that Saudi Arabia would somehow persuade its allies to half their demands and even reduce oil prices, but instead they raised them. In a coordinated counter-move. President Ford and Secretary Kissinger and Treasury Secretary Simon began their warnings though clearly aware that their leverage is limited. So it happened that the odor of oil was strong at Mr. Ford’s climactic economic “summit” meeting here, and at the weekend gathering of the World Bank and foreign ministers. Nobody can fail to see the threat in Mr. Ford’s comment at the energy conference at Detroit: “Sovereign nations cannot allow their policies to be dictated, or their fate decided, by artificial rigging and distortion of world commodity markets.” At the United Nations Kissinger urged “a global strategy for food and energy” to avoid “disaster for every nation.” But what do “sovereign nations” do? The oil producers, the 13 nation Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) show little anxiety over a confrontation with the American-led 12 member Energy Coordinating Group (ECG). This is the 20th Century. A century ago a big power wouldn’t have thought twice about taking oil from a little country if it needed it, but things are different today, that is, they probably are different. There is irony in the situation. The industrial countries always took the backward oil sheikdoms for granted; the price of oil was absurdly low; nobody did any planning and it was assumed by all but a few crackpot professors that petroleum was an inexhaustible raw resource, God-given especially for Detroit’s behemoth chariots. Things have changed. And if you are tempted to sympathize with the sheiks, consider how close we are to world depression. A barrel of oil cost $3 in mid-1973 and $11.65 today. The OPEC countries received $15 billion from oil in 1972; $25 billion in 1973, and will get about $80 billion this year. In five more years the World Bank says they may have accumulated $650 billion, and in 10 years, $1.2 trillion. Banker David Rockefeller says that this glut of capital is already too big for a private banking system to transfer and “recycle,” and that it can be handled only by governments. The prospect becomes terrifying when it is put in context with the other forces pushing the well-to-do countries to recession. Watching Mr. Ford’s grand extravaganza of a summit last week, we have all had a crash course in economics. The man who is supposed to summarize it and analyze it, and pull it all together for the eager president, is Paul McCracken, economist of the University of Michigan. He is somebody to watch. He is five foot-five, alert, mildly conservative, with a sense of humor and, when the academic year ends, he may well replace Alan Greenspan as Mr. Ford’s top economic adviser. In most of the industrialized countries people today are demanding to know why their governments don’t halt inflation, and why leaders don’t cut back foreign imports. In England the stock market hits a 16-year low. Consumer spending plans in America are being cut back. And that Anal cruel paradox of hard times is beginning to appear, the failure of the constituent elements of; capitalism to meet: people want homes, carpenters want to build homes, a nation needs homes, but credit is too tight to let the system work. A crisis atmosphere is developing in Washington, directed in part at OPEC. Saudi Arabia’s oil minister Ahmed Zaki al-Yamani says that he sees an approaching “tnqor world recession,” but a majority of OPEC raises prices just the same: the cost of goods they import has gone up (inflation, you know) so they must charge more too. Who can bother to think of the world’s poorest people at a time like this. Why, Bob McNamara, head of the World Bank to be sure. In the midst of our self-pity he reminds us and the bank, that economic upheavals “of a magnitude previously associated only with major wars and depressions” have forced a billion of the world’s poorest people to face a “desperate” future. They are the marginal men; not only does rice cost more, but rich countries that used to throw them a pittance now hold back. “Almost every element in the current economic situation has worked to their disadvantage,” McNamara solemnly says. Must the forward momentum of these backward countries, with World Bank concessionary assistance, now be lost? Maybe it had to come. Over-population and all that. But McNamara insists: “Hundreds of millions of individuals barely surviving on the margin of life, living under conditions so degraded by disease, illiteracy, malnutrition and squalor as to deny them the basic human necessities; a condition of life so degrading as to insult human dignity and yet a condition of life so common as to be the lot of 40 per cent of the peoples of the developing countries.” He pleads for more aid, denying that they are the expendables in world recession. - Fight the cuts To the Editor We of Social Sciences College publicly announce our unqualified support for the struggle to maintain the UB Day Care Center which provides a vital service for faculty, student and staff workers who cannot afford the high cost of child care. The cutbacks are responsible for the elimination of the Day Care Center are part of the general policy of cutbacks in social services by both Albany and Washington. In this period when the cost of living continues to soar, when people are findmg it harder and harder to make ends meet, the government answers by eliminating programs which help ease the the same time, the Nixon-Ford administration has increased an inflationary military budget to a record $86 billion plus, while detente has objectively eased international tensions. It is our belief that the military budget can be cut in order to provide the funds for our basic social needs. We call on all members of the academic community to join together in the fight for social services and a reduction in military spending. burden. At The staff of the Social Sciences College �Outside Looking In by Clem Colucci When I heard that Senator Edward Kennedy had not to seek the Democratic Presidential nomination in 1976, 1 asked my friend and veteran political analyst Professor Rudolph Hamburger to explain its significance. “Genius,” he said, “a stroke of genius. I didn’t think Ted had it in him!” “How so, Dr. Hamburger?” “It’s going to guarantee him the Presidency.” “But wait a minute, Dr. Hamburger, didn’t he say he wouldn’t seek or accept his party’s nomination?” “Yes, and that’s precisely the catch. He was only talking about his party’s nomination.” “1 don’t understand.” “Ted Kennedy is going to seek the Republican Presidential nomination.” “Now I understand. You’re crazy.” decided “No, listen to me. It was a brilliant move. Look who it benefits. First, the Democratic party is far better off this way. Kennedy had the nomination for the asking and all the other candidates knew it. He was a grease deposit in the drainpipes of the Democratic party’s future.” “That’s a great metaphor, Rudolph.” “Thank you, Clem. Who says we political scientists have no literary talent?” “Fools, obviously.” “Obviously. But to continue, by pulling out of the The P ete Hami ' When they run against the newly-established Democrats they’ll get slaughtered. And if Kennedy challenges Ford for the nomination, the other Republicans will be lucky to get stories put near the corset ads.” “Amazing.” “But that’s not all. Once Kennedy gets the nomination, do you honestly think the Democrats will put someone up against him? Don’t be silly. That means he runs unopposed. Think of the implications. For the first time since Monroe’s administration, we’d have a government of national unity.” “Astonishing." But what about all those personal considerations Kennedy mentioned?” “Running as the Republican nominee would settle them. His wife is nervous. Hell, who wouldn’t be nervous married to Ted Kennedy? His two brothers were shot, one as President, one seeking the Presidency. Any wife would be upset married to someone who gets as many assassination threats as he does. But think, when was the last time anyone shot a Republican?” . “Lincoln, Garfield, McKinley, McKinley, uh, er. “You get the idea. Actually, someone took a shot at Teddy Roosevelt too, but nobody counts that. As a Republican, Kennedy would be safe from his most pressing fear. And his wife would be relieved of a great deal of “Astounding.” “And think of the effect on the Republican party. Everyone thinks Gerald Ford has the nomination sewed up. What Republican will oppose him? The up and coming pressure.” “Brilliant, Dr. Hamburger. Just one question. How Elliot Richardson, ’harles Percy, Republican talent William Ruckelshaus, George Bush, Howard ilaker, Donald does he go about winning the Republican nomination?” “I don’t know. But then, nobody figures everything.” Rumsfeld nobody’s going to pay any atten ion to them. — - Column by Pete Hamill c, race for the Democratic nomination, Kennedy throws the contest wide open. Now all that unknown talent can get the exposure it needs. Face it, who ever heard of Fritz Mondale or Lloyd Bentsen, or Reuben Askew, or Jimmy Carter? With Kennedy out of the race they can raise money and campaign all over the country. The media will be forced to notice these people and the party will be well stocked with familiar faces in 1980,’84 and ’88.” “I can see how the party benefits, Dr. Hamburger, but what about Kennedy himself?” “Simple. What is his biggest handicap?” “Chappaquiddick?” “Exactly. Tell me, do the Democrats ever bring it up? Of course not. So who is likely to make the most use of it in a political campaign?” “The Republicans.” “Right. But if Kennedy runs as the Republican nominee, will the Republicans sabotage their own candidate?” “I guess not.” “That means nobody will talk about Chappaquiddick again. It eliminates Kennedy’s biggest problem and he doesn’t even have to come clean.” 1974 The New York Post, Inc. This is the last column I’ll be writing for this newspaper. It’s no simple thing for me to write. In some very important ways, my life didn’t really begin until I walked into the old Post building at 7S West St., where people named Al Davis and Paul Sann and Jimmy Wechsler handed me a typewriter and a press card and made me a newspaperman. That was 14 years ago. There have been laughs, quarrels, separations and reconciliations in the years since, but never a loss of love. Working for The Post was the grandest privilege of my life. But it’s time to move on. Writers can go stale. They repeat themselves, in content and style. Too often, they substitute glibness and talent for the kind of hard work that makes them grow. I’m no different from other writers, and there have been columns under my name that I wish I could have taken back. The nature of the craft is that you never get them back. You hope that the readers will remember the days when your passion, craft and mind were working together at strength, and will forgive you for the work that is wrong-headed, brutal or wrong. For me, it’s now necessary to write better about less. There’s a novel trying to get born. I want to write longer, more detailed and. hopefully, more thoughtful pieces of journalism. I want to sit somewhere and read Conrad and Melville, Dickens and Dostoyevsky; I need to look at paintings in museums, and listen to music and learn French and, once in a while, to dance. In addition, I feel a growing need to see more of the world, in a more detailed, careful way. For a long time, I’ve filled these columns with my feelings about New York, its small tragedies, its large failures, its hopes for the future. I will never live anywhere else. New York is my country, a place 1 share with eight million of the most extraordinary human beings in this country. But there is another world out there too, and 1 feel it’s time 1 started looking at that world, learning from it, embracing it. There are places on this earth now that won’t be here when my children are my age; they will be destroyed by greed, pollution, or war. I want to see them, as a witness, and write about them so that my children and theirs will have some record of them. 1 have to say something here about mohey. Newspapermen have an extraordinary set of responsibilities. But they are the most underpaid talented people in this country. Most of them can’t afford mistakes or even sickness. One divorce, for example, and they must immediately look elsewhere for money; some get lucky and write books or movies; others drift away into publicity or editing trade magazines. In my case, I’ve had to write movies or magazine articles in order to have enough money to support the people in my life. As inflation has demolished our money. I've had to put more and more energy into that outside work, and that's not the way to write for a daily newspaper. It's unfortunate, even sad; I’ll never forget that Jimmy Cannon died alone and broke. The result has been a continuing loss of talent from newspapers. It’s not a simple case of big bad owners abusing the poor workers. In my case, Dorothy Schiff has done what she can do. There is apparently nothing left after she pays everyone else. You accept those conditions, or you leave. People like Gay Talese, Jimmy Breslin, David Halberstam, Dick Schaap and dozens of other good men have left the newspaper business. I don’t think that’s healthy, either for the newspaper business or for the people who read newspapers. But it’s the way it is. Part of the grand privilege of working here has been the ringside ticket it gave to New York and the country. In my time. I’ve seen Richard Nixon fall before Jack Kennedy, rise and fall again in California only to rise to the heights of the presidency before taking the deepest, dirtiest fall in our history. 1 would be a liar if I denied that the past few years have been a pleasure; for the first time in my life, the right people seem to be going to jail. It seemed that Nixon was always around through those years, like a bag of bad gas that can’t even be buried. But there were other people In the heat of a campaign, it’s never clear how much fun you can have covering somebody like Mario Procaccino, how enriched you can be through contact with Paul O’Dwyer, or in the last year, someone like Mario Cuomo. Most of the politicians I’ve met are frauds; trust none of them, most importantly those who come among us as heroes. Having said that, I can also say that Robert Kennedy was the single most impressive man I met through these 14 years, the man with the most developed sense of tragedy, the rawest gut-level capacity for compassion. That is a contradiction I will probably never be able to explain, except to say that in some areas, I hope I always remain Irish. Two errors appeared in last Friday’s The Spectrum. A photograph of Gordon Rogoff, Theater Department chairman, was mistakenly labeled “Gordon Roycoff.” And, the article, “Fine Arts Exhibit in Norton” was credited to Janice Simon, while Janet Kofkin actually wrote the piece. The Spectrum sincerely regrets these errors. “Let’s see, I think that was the question he answered with ‘Hiya, fella good to see ya’” - - � � * * Finally. I’d like to thank those who read this column, including all the people who sat down and wrote me letters, frequently didn’t get answers and still wrote letters later on. Tfte world is a lonely place, but through all those years, I was comforted by knowing that somehow I was sharing what I saw and heard with some beautiful people. It didn’t matter, really, that most of us had never met. We were making contact. For that, many thanks, and I’ll see you around the neighborhood. Monday, 30 September 1974 . The Spectrum . Page seven �Visiting lecturer Seminar centers on science of science by Diane R. Miller Spectrum Staff Writer “Albert Einstein once Said, ‘The whole of science is nothing more than a refinement of everyday thinking’,” Benjamin Gal-Or, a visiting professor from the Israel Institute of Technology, a graduate seminar in chemical on engineering Wednesday. His subject was“ The Science of Science and the Politics related to of Science.” Prof. Gal-Or commented on the contributions of the individual scientist, noting that “while not everybody who publishes a great deal of papers is a great scientist, a great scientist is a very prolific writer.” Observations about very famous scientists (Nobel Prize winners, members of national academies, people quoted in Encyclopedia Britannica , etc.) show that all were very productive (averaging 150 to 200 papers each) in publishing their new ideas. On the question of “what is significant science,” Prof. Gal-Or stressed the importance of the life Conservative views questioned sciences Prof. Gal-Or biology, biophysics, and biochemistry. “Since the whether science policy can be really objective and free of internal mid-1930’s nothing has in politics and traditions “in view of happened significant physics,” he said. “Only about the past and present conservatism five percent of all significant of the scientific community.” He progress has recently been in quoted Max Planck: “A new physics and engineering, while scientific truth does not triumph about 70 percent is now made in by convincing its opponents and life sciences and about 25 percent making them see the light, but in astrophysics and astronomy.” rather because its opponents On the other hand, Prof. Gal-Or finally die, and a new generation noted, observations on the gross grows up that is familiar with it.” In order for a new school of output of all kinds of scientific its succeed, to publications show a different thought is dissemination among young global mechanism which impersonal and universal for all students and post-doctorates is according to required, nations and fields of science.

In the “We’ve got a lot of work to do.” by Joy Clark Spectrum Soccer Bulls blank Bengals by Dave Hnath Contributing Editor Led by freshman sensation Emmanuel Kulu, Buffalo’s soccer team handed the Buffalo State a 3-0 squad their third defeat in three games shellacking on Rotary Field last Wednesday. The win marked the first for the Bulls in the three-year-old series with the Bengals, co-champions with Brockport and Oneonta in the SUNY Conference last year. Kulu figures in all three scores in the Bulls initial victory, with two assists and a goal. Jim Young opened the scoring before the contest’s two-minute mark. The goal was Young’s second, keeping up the goal-a-game pace he began last year (13 goals in 13 games over two years). The Bulls dominated play throughout the rest of the game, but failed to tally again until less than ten minutes remaining. Kulu and Jude Ndenge, last year’s leading scorer before he quite the team in midseason, each scored to seal the - victory. Coach reserving judgment Soccer coach Sal Esposito gave a reserved mark of approval to the Bulls performance against the Bengals. “I was pleased with the ball control we showed,” analyzed the second year mentor, “but we’re still not as aggressive as we should be in going after the ball. I saw better passing here, and that led to the improved ball control. But I’m still not pleased with the way we’re going after loose balls.” With Andre Petitmairc. a converted fullback. Fore . . playing goalie, the Bulls placed a preimium on their defensive performance, detracting from their offensive punch. “I think our backs did a great job in protecting our goalie, and covering for themselves,” claimed Esposito. “If our backs had played up more, though, we would have had more scoring punch. I’m not really sure how effective our backs can really be, however, having played two games in the rain.” The win was particularly sweet for fullback Hans Zimmermann. a standout at Buffalo State two years ago before transferring to LB. Zimmermann spearheaded the defensive effort for the Bulls, blocking several shots himself as Petitmaire was caught out of position. Hoping for reverse The Bulls are home Wednesday against Brockport. The Eagles dealt the Bulls a 7-0 defeat at Brockport last year, but Esposito thinks it will be a different story this year. “We have more people with more experience and skills than we did last year," Esposito reports. “Also, we can scrimmage full field this year, due to the larger squad we have, something we couldn’t do last year.” The Buffalo goalie situation should be improved with the return of last year’s starter, Frank Daddario. Daddario, who played all but twenty minutes last season, hurt his ankle against Syracuse last week. “I’m hoping we’ll be able to go with Daddario,” said Esposito. “If we can’t, then Petitmaire will just have another job to do. 1 haven’t heard from the doctor, but I’m hoping Frank will be ready.” Staff Writer Parlez-vous francais?

Improved golf team looking towards undefeated season by Bruce Engel Spans Editor Last year Jim Gallery was the undisputed leader of the golf team. Only once through the season was he beaten by a teammate. More often he beat all of them by several strokes. This fall, through their first eight dates, other Buffalo golfers have beaten their captain all but twice — and he couldn’t be happier. Jim is winning less and enjoying it more simply because the team is undefeated (7-0) with two of its toughest opponents, Gannon and Oswego, behind them. “We’re good enough to go undefeated.” said Gallery, “but RIT might be tough and St. Bonaventure is tough on their home course.” RIT was one of three teams that beat the Bulls at Friday’s Brook Lea tournament in Rochester. Topping the Yellowjackets and the Bonnies could mean Buffalo’s first undefeated golf season since they went 16-0 in 1971, Coach Bill Dando’s first year with the squad. No top man “Gallery, who has been playing fine golf with the exception of two bad rounds, including an 85 at Brook Lea, claims he is not bothered by losing to teammates for a chance. “As long as I play as good as I can, I don't care what the other guys do. I think most of the guys just play their own game and let it happen,” he stated. “There really isn’t a first man on the team this year.” If the Bulls were hung up on who is number one, it would be a tight contest between Gallery and junior college transfer Mike Hirsch. Hirsch has come back with a low score several times, including a course record at the Bulls home course and a second place 76 at Brook Lea. However, Mike has been known to blow up, and has recorded scores ten shots apart on the same course within a week’s time. Rich Busczynski and Jim Batt round out a strong top four. “Batt is playing a lot better this Gallery commented. “He is much more year consistent There is far less pressure on Gallery this season "Last year when I had a bad round, we lost,” he says. The statement sounds brash but the record bears him out. Ten months and one Mike Hirsch later, Gallery has some company at the top. Golf team Captain Jim Gallery tees off on the first hole at the Amherst Audubon Golf Course, where Buffalo plays its home matches. Gallery is playing as good as ewer but no longer dominates the team. i ■ i i Monday, i'30iSQpt$mbet .1974:; !Th$ Specttfnpu. Pagfe nine �JV STUPED MINUTHL E6.N ATTACHED BT THE MILLION 0 DAILY CROSSWORD PUZZLE sp topr ">-i Gen'l Features Corp irmine Racism The sports establishment is still far from ridding itself of all forms of racism but strong barriers appear to be breaking down. “Jefferson Street" Joe Gilliam started his third game as quarterback for the Pittsburgh Steelers yesterday, which probably represents a record for a black quarterback in the NFL. Gilliam, a low draft pick two years ago, got a chance when the players strike kepy Terry Bradshaw and Terry Harratty out of training. He has performed excellently, a fact that even the Bradshaw, a Louisiana native, has acknowledged. Meanwhile, speculation is running high that the Cleveland Indians will dump manager Ken Aspromonte after the season ends, and replace him with Frank Robinson. Robby, who has an excellent record managing in winter baseball in Puerto Rico, makes no bones about wanting to manage a major league club. Of course, Robinson would still be asked to swing a bat as designated hitter, but baseball has’ a long and glorious history of player managers, including all-time greats like Ty Cobb, Roger Hornsby, Bill Terry and Frank Frisch. If this silly barrier were finally broken, perhaps the field would be open for such well-qualified prospective Black managers as Maury Wills, Bill White, Tommy Aaron and Elston Howard. Even superstars like Willie Mays and Henry Aaron, though less qualified than the others, could be no worse than some of the jokers who presently hold major who will have the right to challenge ex-Brooklynite Bobby Fischer for the world chess championship. The series, which Karpov presently leads 1-0, may result in a new world champion by default. Fischer claims that unless the ground rules for his title defense are altered to his satisfaction, he will not defend his title. Fischer always the non-conformist, seems to be making unreasonable demands in this instance. It’s possible that the champion, who has not played in public since the Spassky match two years ago, is just a little scared of the up-and-coming Karpov. Fischer doesn't need the money, seemingly doesn’t like the publicity, and very likely has already made up his mind not to play. Grass in season Darrell Royal.

No. 17 University Day Care by Dene Dube Feature Editor “We refuse to be cut we have no choice but to fight,” was a cry which resounded through an emotion-charged Haas Lounge Wednesday as more than 150 students rallied in support of the U.B.

For dose to thirty minutes, the Care, explained that “Erie County enough grow? of supporters explored told Albany that it had it was Centers” when Day Care $23,000 the in ways of securing its priorities. to order asked funds that Sub-Board did not “They only support Kentucky comm up with this year because of Fried Chicken Cey Care Centers,” cutbacks from the student those which make a profit, Ms. Association (SA) and Graduate Osbom charged.

The The possibility of having cutbacks have forced the Center “every student donate a dollar” to to seek aid from the state and keep the Day Care Center afloat other sources to prevent it from was denounced by most of the supporters, who felt this would dosing down. Immediately after the meeting, not be “confronting the system.” about half of the students walked “Our position is not to get money out of Norton Hall and marched from students,” Ms. Lipman said. to Hayes Hall with picket signs. ‘Isn’t it about time they (the They proceeded to walk through administration) kicked in some and around the building, shouting money,” added Mark Pcsner, a “Ketter says cut back, we say member of the Revolutionary fight back.” — “I’m really excited that there are 200 people here,” she told the supporters, referring to the disappearance of student activism since the late sixties when protest movements were routinely sweeping across the nation’s campuses. Academic use Despite the support for Day Care, the State University of New York refused to fund the Day Center unless it involves the “academic use” of the Center’s facilities, explained President Ketter in a telephone inverview. SUNY central administrations has repeatedly refused to upgrade Day Care staff positions or come through with funds, Dr. Ketter explained, because day care is not an approved function of the State and does not follow the chancellor’s guidelines. The present amount of funds has been allocated only because the money has come through University The group stopped for a while outside Dr. Ketter’s window, and then marched to Diefendorf Hall they stormed through a large mathematics lecture, pounding tambourines and where shouting “Day Care is a right, we’ll organize to fight.” The demonstrators then paraded around the rest of the campus. At the gathering in Haas Lounge, Pauline Lipman, co-chairperson of the Day Care Center’s steering committee, told the group that their fight was not for extra staff or additional space, but for the very survival of the Day Care Center. “This is not an isolated crisis,” Ms. Lipman declared. “The Equal Opportunity Program cannot even take any more people, funds to BSU and P.O.D.E.R. have been cut ’ack, and the University has attempted to close the Colleges. There are cuts everywhere,” she asserted. “If we don’t fight back against these cuts, there will be more cuts.” The Day Care Center, which was established in 1970 to provide quality day care so parents who wanted to receive an education could do so, has “never received adequate funding,” Ms. Lipman charged. Several of those gathered blamed the SA for funding activities like intercollegiate athletics and the Ski Club while abandoning Day Care, which they considered “a right,” not a luxury or convenience. Fight with administration Ms. Lipman stressed that the Day Care Center must not fight with other student groups. “It’s the University administration that really owes us; they owe us just like they owe Women Studies, it’s EOF, BSU and P.O.D.E.R. their responsibility to support us,” she said. - Responding to a question whether the Day Care Center had sought out any funds from the federal or state government, Nancy Osborn, a parent and staff member of Day about 27 September 1974 Faculty Senate votes to examine the Day Care issue - Advocates rally forfunds low-cost, Friday, of New York at Buffalo The Faculty-Senate approved a resolution Tuesday instructing the Executive Committee to study the issue of allocations for the Day Care Center and report back with recommendations at the next meeting, scheduled for November 5.

The 29,000 gap in the Day Care budget, created last summer when Sub Board terminated its funding, has forced the cenjer to seek aid from the state and other sources in an attempt to margin its present level of service.

Dr. Lawler pointed out that besides the educational relevance of Day Care, the center made it possible for women and minority students to attend the University who would otherwise not be able to. “Affirmative action not only requires hiring, but that we provide the practical possibilities that these people can work here,” he said. 'Their business’ Jonathan Wexler, professor of Computer Science, told the Senate that Day Care was not within the University’s realm of responsibility. “If students want to have children, that’s their business,’’ he said. American studies professor Elizabeth Kennedy explained that Day Care was a national issue, and should be considered in that light by the Faculty Senate.

Speaking on the topic of “Pollution Control and the Energy Crisis: the Citizens’ Role,” the noted consumer advocate said citizen interest is the only way to fight “economic stagnation” caused by “a consumer shortage and loss of confidence in the system.” Although the “sellers are proficient at selling,” he said, “the consumer is inefficient in what he is buying.” Mr. Nader cited the tricks employed by supermarkets and the fact that there is no price comparison table for buying life insurance. He blamed “the weakness of the consumer” for bringing the economy to a state of “quality deterioration.” Stooge Moe Howard tells it all at Fillmore remembered his line.” (Marx by Susan Kelman and Clem Colucci Brother Chico Marx used to engage in spontaneous punning The postscript on one of the until he remembered his.) questions submitted to Moe Choking and holding back tears, Howard read: “1 grew up on Mr. Howard described how a you.” So did they all, the 1600 stroke on the set in 1946 forced people who stood and cheered as Curly to leave the Stooges, the leader of the Three Stooges making way for Mr. Howard’s entered the Fillmore Room older brother, Shemp, who played Wednesday.

It had the original Three Stooges: Moe, Larry and Curly, and a full quota of sadism. Following the film were clips from Three Stooges movies in French, German, Italian and Japanese. — Energy crisis “created” Focusing on the energy situation, Mr. Nader called last winter’s energy crisis “one of the most colossal created crises in the world.” The oil companies, he said, were able to turn this trick with backing from the White House and by using the Middle East conflict as an excuse. Mr. Nader added that monopolistic enterprise with government protection has resulted in our “economy going haywire,” and consequently, businesses are raising prices to meet the competition. After citing waste as the biggest problem in fighting inflation, Mr. Nader recommended a three-step system to improve the energy situation: a short-term coal and gas policy and a long-term geothermal and solar energy program. “Solar energy,” he said, “is by far the greatest prospect for energy in the world.” The only reason we don’t have —Huber solar energy is not because the technology isn’t Pie in the sky developed, but because “Exxon doesn’t own the sun After the films, Mr. Howard the House but failed by one vote in the Senate this answered written questions from yet,” Mr. Nader contended. year, would have set up a committee to represent the the audience.

Moe Howard routines from the Stooges’ movies. He also settled, once and for all, the question of whether he wore a wig by taking a comb from his jacket pocket and turning his ordinary hairstyle into the familiar set of bangs. Once, when he was waiting at a stoplight, he looked into the car at his left. There, a child of about ten was jumping up and down yelling; “Look, Mommy, it’s Moe of the Three Stooges. He dyed his hair grey.” Mr. Howard enjoyed the recognition. Asked why the Stooges didn’t get an Academy Award for their long service to motion pictures including giving — Ball, Walter he Brennan and Lloyd Bridges said: “It’s joy enough to get a reception like this from this kind of audience. They can keep their Academy Award.” “I’d like to thank you from the bottom of my heart,” he said, “and if my two brothers were here, they’d thank you from their bottoms too.” a start to Lucille - �Professors explain reasons for theft by Andrew Sacks Staff Writer Spectrum Poor promotion The current high rate of theft by students, apparent in recently-compiled statistics, may be due to depersonalization, anger, and a search for kicks, or it may be merely coincidental, according to two State University at Buffalo professors. Their analysis is based on a report that $60,000 worth of merchandise was stolen from the University Bookstore last year. Sociology professor Robert Ford, who teaches a course in criminology, says there is a “funny little norm” that the bigger a business is, the more people are willing to steal from it. The university, he asserted, is fast becoming a big business. As this happens, more and more impersonal situations are created which tend to take the guilt feeling out of robbing. One could argue, he said, “that if you put a nice old grandmother outside of the bookstore, and made students feel they were robbing her and not the university, book stealing would go down.” Another reason for student theft might be a carryover of part of the “subculture of adolescents” into college, Dr. Ford maintained. “Stealing for kicks,” he said, “is a hobby among many teenagers, a response to a dare, for example. A “delayed deterrent” might be another factor. “My students tell me they’ll try it until they get caught because no one will prosecute them the first time,” he said. “After they get caught once, they’ll cut it out.” However, Dr. Ford felt book stealing has a positive aspect, too, recalling that in 1969, when he came to the University, “no one used books.” Generally, he added wryly, “people steal only things that are useful, so this at least shows students now view books as being useful.” Norman Solkoff of the Department of Psychiatry also feels stealing for “kicks” is a factor, adding that reasons for stealing depend on the individual. “It could vary from not having enough money to trying to rip off the system to feeling that this is something they have coming to them,” he said. Dr. Solkoff maintained that without research, it is hard to pinpoint allocation to finance the concert had not been the reasons for student theft. He felt it might be related to “acting out Committee either the IRC Executive or approved by IRC body. This fact, confirmed by Mr. Smith, has anger” and that behavior such as stealing might be “substituting for the raised doubts about the legality of the expenditure. chaos of the ‘sixl'es’.” He warred, though, of the danger in interpreting statistics too Leigh Weber, IRC President, and the individual closely concerning student theft, pointing out that it would be helpful most involved with the event, declined comment, theft from other institutions for comparison. He also said it to check saying only that information would be available in was hard to know, without a careful study, if any increase in the crime the future. “It reminds me of Watergate, with all its rate were “real” or not. “Is there really an increase in crime, or are we deviousness and deception,” remarked one just more sensitive to detecting crime?” he said.

The concert featured two musical groups, POCKET CALCULATORS “Ripple,” and “The Crown Heights Affair.” Mr. Smith claimed that “Ripple” arrived at Clark Hall over six hours after the agreed time, thereby disrupting the entire concert schedule and forcing the other group to play overtime. Mr. McCants contradicted Mr. Smith’s claim that “Ripple” had arrived at the concert late. The group arrived on time but their equipment truck had malfunctioned, he explained. “This is what I was told by them,” Mr. McCants said. IRC concert results in loss due to unexpected problems In a possible misuse of funds, the Inter-Residence Council (IRC) has lost approximately $4000 as a result of its September 21 concert in Clark Hall, The Spectrum has learned. The loss extinguishes about 12% of IRC’s total annual operating budget, according to a knowledgable source. The $4000 investment was the largest single one ever made by IRC, the source explained. Several possible reasons for the loss have been offered. Jim Smith, IRC Vice-President for Activities Planning, complained that sufficient publicity had not been available, even after an appropriate amount had presumably been planned. He indicated that this might have been the fault of the promoters, Wayne Patton and Bernard McCants. One IRC official is investigating the possibility that they were involved in producing illegal tickets. Both promoters, who are members of the IRC Affairs Committee, denied any wrongdoing. Referring to the charges that tickets had been sold illegally, Mr. McCant said, “As to my knowledge it isn’t true. I didn’t sell tickets to anybody.” Minority Of 600 people who attended the concert, over 400 did not purchase tickets at the ticket office, one spokesman claimed. IRC would have had to sell 1600 tickets to break even. “The promoters told us the concert would be full,” Mr. Smith added. Mr. McCants disclaimed any knowledge about just what kind of publicity IRC had planned for the concert and said he had hoped the concert “would be a sellout.” Legality questioned The IRC source said the original surwafe/l $6000 IN STOCK - NOW! HEWLETT-PACKARD Mr. Weber is reportedly taking legal action that will attempt to restore some of the losses. Who dun it? Questioned about who might have been responsible for going ahead with the concert, Mr. Smith said he had first learned about it from Mr. Weber and the Minority Affairs Committee. “But the actual plans were made by Mr. Weber and myself,” he maintained. i> [Ri@ct@[ni tent BUFFALO TEXTBOOK 3610 Main Street Scientific-Technical Reference Books wm MAD passport photos; grad school applications, med school applications, law school applications; ID and test photos 3 photos: $3 ($.50 each additional with original order) Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday; 10 a.m.-5 p.m. (no appointment necessary) open all photos available on Fridays Friday, 27 September 1974 The Spectrum Page three . . �Contemporary sound moves in on progressive radio PHD by David Haitkin Spectrum Staff Writer WPHD, the “progressive” FM radio station in Buffalo, may have a new “AM” flavor when Robert Howard takes over the station’s ownership October 1st. Mr. Howard plans to simulcast what he called “I can assure you that during prime listening times, 7 p.m. through the early morning hours and most of the weekend, when people are more receptive to listening, the PHD sound will be maintained,” he emphasized. However, most of the time the station will probably carry “contemporary music,” which he said roughly approximate “the top 40 sound” of AM radio. “I don’t believe in screaming radio,” Mr. Howard explained, though, recalling that the station he was associated with in Washington, DC was considered “a station that was number one in all kinds of rock, a station that could satisfy everyone’s tastes.” □ SCOTT “contemporary sound” for a large part of the broadcast day over WPHD and its AM coordinate, WYSL. He also intends to change the call letters of WPHD to WISL “for obvious purposes.” Mr. Howard admitted he was aware of the community’s strong support for the present progressive format of PHD and said he believes in the PHD sound. Over-reaction to change Mr. Howard views the avalanche of mail and the petitions now circulating as an over-reaction to the planned change format. He recognizes the popularity of the station in town, and believes that “it would be foolish to stop or kill what has proven to be a success story.” Over the past year, WPHD has risen substantially in its ratings. According to ARB, a standard radio rating service, it now commands approximately 140,000 listeners, making it first among people between the ages of 18 and 34 in Buffalo. John McCann, program director for the station, has been instrumental in bringing PHD to its present position in the forefront. He and others in the community also fear an end to the progressive rock album play in favor of another “screaming d.j.” type station. One observer underscored the station’s importance as a source of “cultural communication, something that makes Buffalo bearable,” and “the only such outlet with money the way it is.” Before Mr. Howard knows exactly how much of WPHD will be simulcast, he has to “sit down with the general manager and the program director and find out what they have to say.” He promised that “the people in the Buffalo metropolitan area will have a chance to make the radio station what they want it to be.” UUAB PRESENTS: THE CHAPLIN SERIES LIMELIGHT CITY LIGHTS October 1 October 22 2 - CHAPLIN REVUE October 8 9 October 29 BOLD RUSH, PAY DAY October 15 23 KING in NEW YORK ■ - - • 30 GREAT DICTATOR November 4 16 - 5 The films will be in Norton Conference Theatre For further information call 831-5117 ADMISSION POLICY— tickets do NOT include the Great Dictator General $6.25 Series: Students $3.75 General $1.50 Single Student $1.00 it Series Series tickets go on sale at Norton Ticket Office, Friday Sept. 27th.

The program was initiated more than a year ago by SA and, according to Cathleen Carter, program head and security officer, it has been a huge success. Last year, 1200 people registered their bicycles, and although there were 51 bike thefts reported in other places on campus since January, Ms. Carter emphasized that “there were approximately twice as many taken during the same time span last year.” None were stolen amortg those parked in the bike corral behind Lockwood Library. The bike corral operates from 9 aun. to 5 pun., Monday through Friday. SA employees check identification of all people who bring their bicycles in and out of the corral, and they are chiefly responsible for the success of the program. Ms. Carter notes: “No one will steal a bike when he is forced to show an ID.” Registration To register, you must take your bicycle to the corral, where you will be assisted by SA workers. You then proceed to fill out a form containing information necessary for the registration. An identification card will then be issued, corresponding to the license plate number placed on the bicycle. If a bicycle is stolen, the owner fills out a theft report. Campus Security then sends the bicycle’s frame number to the Erie County Central Police Services’ computer, where it is put on file and listed as stolen. If a bicycle is found or suspected of being stolen, the numbers are compared, and if listed, is returned to the rightful owner. There is an addition to the program this year. Ms. Carter explained: “We decided to halt the operation to reflect on whether or not the program being offered was the best possible for our patrons. We decided to keep the program, but also offer Operation Identification, since it is cost-free to the community and offers additional protection.” Vibro-markers Operation Identification involves the marking of students’ social security numbers on bicycles with electric vibro-markers. Campus Security keeps these numbers on file, so that if a stolen bicycle is spotted, the true ownership can be proven. Markers have been installed in a booth in the corral so that while a student is registering his bicycle, he can mark it at the same time. Another service provided is the consumer report on the effectiveness of various bicycle chains, published by the New York Public Interest Group (NYPIRG). These services are free of charge and are available to University students, faculty and staff. “Provisions are being worked out for similar facilities on the North Campus, but probably will not be ready until the spring,” Ms. Carter reported. Campus Security and SA strongly urge the campus community to take advantage of these programs. Because all of last year’s registration IDs are invalid, bicycles must now be re-registered. Only registered bikes will be admitted after October 4. If questions arise, contact Ms. Carter at 831-5555. TENNIS EQUIPMENT Paddle Ball Raquets and Equipment.

Organized in the U.S. by members of the Vencerenous Brigade, this delegation of student journalists was the first to visit Cuba journalists since the 1969 Revolution. This is the articles about his experiences in Cuba. first in a series of by Paul Krehbiel Contributing Editor Young people have traditionally played a major role in Cuban life. The “Apostle” of Cuba, and leader of the war for independence from Spain was Jose Marti, who joined the revolutionary struggle at the age of 16. Julio Mella was a young man when he died as a leader in the struggle against the Machado dictatorship in 1930. Fidel Castro was 26, and his brother Raul was 19, when they led the attack on the Moncada Army barracks on July 26, 1953, in an attempt to overthrow the Batista dictatorship. And national hero Frank Pais the leader of the clandestine urban movement during the 1950’s was in his twenties when he was gunned down by Batista’s military. Since the revolution, Cuban youth have continued to play a leading role. In 1960, youths from several mass organizations united to form the Association of Young Rebels, working in agriculture, educating people about the plans of the revolution, and organizing the National Revolutionary Militia to defend their country. the farm, factory, school, municipal, regional, provincial and national levels. In the institute’s founding year, 15,000 physical education tests were given as part of a program to improve physical fitness. Gains in sports Baseball, football (soccer), gymnastics and boxing are among Cuba’s favorite sports, and any follower of international sports can attest to Cuba’s tremendous gains in recent years. While we were in Cuba, Havanna was hosting the International Amateur Boxing matches, with most countries, including the United States, participating. Everywhere we went, large groups of people were crowded around television sets, watching Cuba’s national team go on to capture first place. Before the revolution, art and culture was reserved for the small upper class only. Today, museums, book publishing, television, films, painting, music, graphic arts, dance, drama and writing are flourishing. The National Council of Culture was created to plan all cultural activities from the national amateur movement to the planning of cultural relations with other countries. day loading trucks before the Revolution, and has a relative in the United States, put the case of the Cuban people this way: “As you probably know, the United States government has made repeated attempts to attack Cuba since our revolution. The Bay-of-Pigs invasion is the most blatant example; but Cuban fisherman and boats are constantly harassed and some fishermen have been killed. In addition, we know that the CIA has landed agents on our shores all around our island. “Now, we make a clear distinction between the U.S. government and the American people; we want to be friends with the American people. the U.S. imperialists “But the U.S. government will never set foot in Cuba again. We are ready to fight to the last drop of our blood to defend our country. We will die before we will let them take over our country again; we will never return to the old system. And you can ask any Cuban here, and they will tell you the same thing. “We support socialism,” the worker added. We are ready to go to Vietnam, or the Soviet Union, or any other socialist country, if their territory is being threatened, and we will fight to the last drop of our blood to defend that land. And you can ask any Cuban here, and they will tell you the same thing.” * - - - The Union of Cuban Writers and Artists and the C Youth involvement In 1961, Cuban youth participated in defeating the CIA-sponsored Bay-of-Pigs invasion at Playa Giron. Young people spearheaded the world-famous Cuban Literacy Campaign by going to all corners of Cuba, and teaching some 700,000 to read and write. After one year, the illiteracy rate dropped to around 3% and all levels of education became free of charge. Before the revolution, the total school enrollment was 819,000, according to government figures. By 1965, Cuba in a had two million students enrolled in schools country which had a population of less than eight million at the time. At age six, a child enters primary school for six years. Special programs were set up to combine several years of school into a shorter period of time, so older children and adults who had to drop out under the old system could be brought up to the sixth grade level. While in Cuba we visited a primary teacher-training school, and learned that a number of high school students spend part of their time teaching in primary school. — — biology, chemistry, art, technical trades, Spanish and sports. They also learn about the Cuban Revolution and some Marxist political theory. At this level, study is combined with work in agriculture, shops or vocational training programs. Many students actually built their ago 'ie i * Higher education After primary school, students attend junior high for three years, and can then choose to attend a technical institute for three years, or a pre-university (senior high) for three years. Senior high school students study much of history, mathematics, the same things that Americans do universities. Even in the lower grades, students will work for an hour .or two at jobs, such as filling medicine bottles or building toys. “It’s important for all the students to understand that work is necessary to the development of both the individual and the society,” a director of city planning told us. “To develop a communist society, everyone must make a contribution.” Students receive free room, board, clothing and get stipends from the government to study. Soldiers, workers and farmers, who get scholarships, receive a higher stipend, as do married couples. Doubled enrollment University enrollment has doubled from 15,000 students in 1956, to 30,000 in 1966. 1956 is the last year figures were compiled on university students because the universities were closed in 1957 and 1958 due to the nation-wide students’ and workers’ strikes-against Batista. We saw Havanna University and a number of new schools all over the island; some completed and some under construction. We spoke to four girls attending a teachers college in Santiago de Cuba, who all said they would volunteer their teaching services in an underdeveloped region after graduation for at least one year. All four came from workers’ or peasants’ families, and expressed a high level of social responsibility. Great emphasis is placed on the study of science; agricultural sciences and mechanics. Marxism particularly and the social sciences are also stressed. The development of sports, physical recreation and the arts is very highly valued by the Cuban government in order to develop the totally integrated man and woman. In 1961, the National Institute of Sports, Physical Education and Recreation was bom, and has since developed a broad range of physical activities and sports at On<* transports Friday, 27 September 1974 Hie Spectrum Page five . . �Beethoven fans . .

It has been recommended for persons who “like to deal with other people,” and who possess “good organizational skills.” Sanford Lotter, assistant dean of the School of Management at the State University at Buffalo, explained that while “it is tougher than in the past” to find a job in management, the demand for persons in this field is still quite strong. He cited several particular areas of management where persons are needed and for which this University offers training programs. These include Health Care Systems Management; Professional Accounting; Urban Affairs; Financial Planning and Control; Financial Analysis; Human Resources; and Manpower and Development. Urban affairs was recommended for those interested in city government. Human interests Human resources and Manpower Development were recommended for psychology and sociology majors or others who might be interested in the behavioral aspects of management. This area involves placing people in jobs that would most benefit them Day Care... ‘group remaining And by employing their skills to the maximum efficiency of the company. While a person holding a BS in management will be reasonably assured of a job in management, Mr. Lotter adds that he will need three to five years of work experience to catch up to a person with two years of graduate management education. Combination plate For students who are reluctant about going “gung ho” into management, Mr. Lotter recommends combining a management degree with some other field of interest. He has seen many students satisfied by combining management with industrial engineering, civil engineering, pharmacy, and law, for example. Pre-law advisor Jerome Fink has also recommended management training to his students, since law study may not necessarily provide them with the job they desire. One advantage to combining management with other fields is that it takes the student one year less than if he were to pursue two degrees separately. Half of the students in the University’s School of Management have non-business backgrounds, according to Mr. Lotter. He added that management schools often prefer students from other disciplines. —continued from page 1 .

Ford’s amnesty program said to deny evaders due process —continued from page 1— . scores other than the RSE, grade point average and percentile rank in high school. Under the present system, only 70 people received this type of consideration; now that number will be tripled. In his address to the Senate, Dr. Ketter expressed displeasure with the idea of a University-wide office for teaching evaluation. He estimated the cost of such an office at $60-80,000. This, he felt, would be an unwise expenditure. He explained that because “teaching effectiveness is most easily recognized at the departmental level,” it should be kept there, and faculty should assess themselves in whatever way they saw fit. Additionally, Dr. Ketter reminded the faculty to recognize and honor the religious obligations of certain students during the upcoming Yom Kippuer holiday, and in fact, all religious holidays for which school is not closed. He asked that no examinations be given on these days and that make-up exams should be permitted, if necessary. In one other matter, Faculty-Senate chairman George Hochfield proposed that the new Education and Policy Planning Committee devote itself almost exclusively to the examination of the first two years of undergraduate study. Believing those years to be insufficiently challenging and “in a state of disarray,” Dr. Hochfield suggested that the committee “give thought to the possibility, feasibility, and desirability of a general education program for some freshman and sophomores.” (JUAB by Joseph P. Esposito City Editor The father of Bruce Beyer, a draft evader now living in Toronto, says his son “won’t come back under this condition not until universal and unconditional amnesty is proclaimed.” Robert Beyer told The Spectrum that his son — “and other war resisters who showed courage in resistance deserve to be praised because they saved thousands of American lives in Vietnam by educating the U.S. to the horror of the war.” He asserted that the resisters played an “important role in bringing us to our senses.” Bruce Beyer was involved in the anti-war movement on this campus in the late 1960’s, though he was not a student at this University. With another resister, he sought symbolic sanctuary in the Universalist Unitarian Church in Buffalo. When federal marshalls entered the church a week later to remove the two, a scuffle ensued in which Beyer struck one of the marshalls. In 1969, he was sentenced to three years in prison. i ™f/k Now in Toronto While out on bail, Bruce Beyer went to Sweden, where he was given sanctuary. He now lives in Toronto, where he is working with young Canadians on the problem of lead pollution. Robert Beyer, who attended last weekend’s Amnesty Conference in Toronto, said there is a great deal of “uncertainty over procedures” involved in President Ford’s amnesty plan. There is “no due process, legally, for these young men” who surrender under the program, he added. He feels the clemency “may bring out more of the underground evaders in the U.S. who are far greater in number than those in Canada.” Young men who gave up before the clemency may get off better than those who surrender after the PRESENTS - proclamation, Mr. Beyer continued. Problem of Nixon carry-over Mr. Beyer, a veteran of World War II who has been active with the Amnesty and Reconciliation Center, believes that “Ford had good intentions” with his amnesty plan, but that the President “has the problem of Nixon carry-overs in Attorney General William Saxbe and Defense Secretary James Schlesinger, who represent the Nixon view of amnesty which is no amnesty.” He feels that “too many veterans have hardening of the arteries when it comes to recognizing the amnesty issue.

He agrees, however, that the amnesty may deprive the evaders of due process. “Accepting amnesty, like a pardon, is an admission of guilt,” the spokesman explained. !?::The New ;;;*| I CENTURY | With five times the clarity and delineation of an electrostatic.

New “People-oriented” projects sprung up all over the One Since its inception in 1970, the UB Day Care Center has been the sole reason why many student parents have been able to pursue a college education. It has lifted a great burden off economically disadvantaged parents, minority parents, young families and single women, and provided a valuable learning experience for faculty and students who want to work closely with young children. By virtue of its educational and social values. Day Care has proven to be a very basic right. As students continue their effort to secure funds from the University that will prevent the Day Care Center from closing down, they are actually battling a governmental system that continues to pour millions of dollars into strategic weapons and give large corporations offs while it dismantles vital social services and preys on the rights of minorities. The Day Care controversy is not a localized one; it is a national and statewide issue that has far-reaching implications in terms of who may receive an education. Thus, while this University has a clear obligation to provide funds for Day Care, it must be understood that it is a statewide body (SUNY) central administration which refuses to support Day Care. SUNY has been giving Day Care $35,000 a year only because the University has been able to justify its academic merits. Not one cent has ever been given to Day Care for purely social reasons. If the Day Care supporters want to wage a successful fight for the survival of Day Care, they should dispense with making rhetorical claims that President Ketter has a "discretionary fund" stashed away in his office for emergencies, and begin confronting the real source of the problem the State University. In the interest of Day Care's long-range survival on this campus and its expansion to others throughout the state, large numbers of students must begin lobbying throughout New York to make it clear to Albany that they view Day Care as a very basic right. The Student Association of the State University (SASU), which has recently been assuming more of an activist posture, might be a vehicle through which such an effort could be coordinated. For the immediate future, however, students who support the UB Day Care Center should reconsider whether adhering to a principle of "confronting the system" is really the best course of action when the Center might close down any day. At this particular time, any practical solution that would keep the Day Care Center open should be weighed, including an organized campaign to seek contributions from students, faculty, staff and community people. With all the publicity the Day Care Center has received over the past few weeks, it is entirely plausible that a concerted fund-raising effort could keep the center alive for another year. Once that worry is gone, steps can be taken to organize a large statewide movement that will demand from SONY the right of a college education for everyone. tax write- — - nation. The Vietnam War ended and we all sat back and said: The Revolution is over! Everything is beautiful! And we all smiled and left our struggle to drop in and sign up for the system that our Brothers we sat and Sisters had shed their blood for. And as back, those rights, that we sweated and fought for, slowly were taken away from us. And we still sat back. We sat back when the Colleges were victimized by the Reichert Committee and the Faculty Senate. The only vehicle for us obtaining a real education that utilizes it, and is therefore a heavy financial burden. The nine Student Association members (a controlling majority force on Sub-Board) voted Day Care funding down for this reason, totally dollars and cents. It is truly unfortunate that they didn’t have this concern when composing their own budget. Men’s athletics is allocated over $1000 per student in their program. But who can dare question the importance of an athletic program for the student body. Dollars and cents cannot be considered when the baseball team gets to go to Florida. These are the priorities that have been set for us. And all we have been doing is sitting back. Can we continue to sit back?

People Bruce Engel - �THE GIRLFROM Holbrook, Hawn and 'Petrouka' come up short by Ja/ Boyar would be Early in their relationship, intellectual American journalist (Hal Holbrook as Joe) takes the sprightly Russian "girl from Petrovka" (Goldie Hawn as Oktyabrina) to see his stylish apartment in Moscow. When they get to the bathroom, she opens his medicine cabinet, and out pop crisp, green, American dollars she is impressed. Everything in this movie. The Girt from Petrovka is set to medicine explode like that cabinet. Every line shouts a message, every detail of costume announces its wearer's character, each piece of furniture bursts with The forth intentions. brown neat journalist's "Harvard" moustache, his the rich, — Magic Lantern sweatshirt, and Pulitzer prize, these label him thoroughly. The girl's heart-shaped cheek make-up, her frumpy overcoat, and her love of black lace panties tell us all there is to know about her. And a "She’s single line of dialogue crazy to be living here without papers!"— outlines everything we need to know about the plot. in the trunk of an ordinary elephant. Watching The Girl from Petrovka on the screen at the front of the theater is like watching the movie projector in the projection room. Sure, there's always the chance that the film will break and the show will be temporarily halted and, yes, there could be a fire in the theater or a city wide power failure, but in general, the steady, controlled movement of the film from one reel to another is largely a matter of formality. From the moment the machine is turned on, the action of the characters on the screen is as predictable and as tedious as the movement of the film itself from the full reel to the empty one. Early on in the film we're told, "Art lives long; life is short." But what about schlock? only suppose, It, seems I role in this Yawn-in. Maybe it was her silly laugh, or her innocent eyes, or perhaps the simply brevity of her television scenes that sustained her in the past. Bundled, as she is in Petrovka, in that bulky coat floppy hat, and a white, for her constricted by that heavy accent, and painted up with that gaudy cheek- heart, whatever kept her alive before is hurried here. In this film, Holbrook doesn't keep; her in the background like Warren Beatty did in $ and there's no demonic presence to undercut her cutesey mugging as Joel Gray did for Liza Minelli in Caberet. "I get bored," complains Goldie as Oktyabrina. "That's always been my problem ever since I was a kid. child." Not "bored" "Boring." interminable. Hal Goldie Goldie Hawn has borrowed Artie Johnson's Russian accent I'm rather grateful for Holbrook's appearance in this film, only because it gave me an to come to terms with him. His shtick as Mark Twain was enjoyable, but his T.V. work (The Senator) seemed so lifeless. As Twain, he needed simply to representan old man and to know how to say Twain’s lines so as to achieve the maximum humorous effect. He was little more than one of those like audio animatronic puppets the Lincol in Disneyworl that recites the Gettysburg Adress. Once again, it doesn't take much emotional depth, nor did his T.V. work. In Petrovka he has reached opportunity — a dull nadir. The movie greatly saddest is the delayed) scene in the inevitable (and love making scene with Joe and Oktyabrina.

To watch it, you'd think that the only part of the anatomy that moves during intercourse is the toes Living statues are is unaware of the injustices of the Russian system (in fact the hick thrives on this knowledge), and so there needs no ghost, my lord, come from the grave to tell us this. This fratutious attack on the — Soviet Union is calculated to reingorce American smugness and complacence. The big joke of the film is when Holbrook as Joe defends America from an ill-reasoned attack by selfrighteously asserting that the American press is better than the SovieU.S. newsmen are totally free to print the entire unpleasant truth in their newspapers. . . about Russia! Because of its pompous banality,. The Girl from Petrovka Not Greek Those labels pasted on the characters and settings are not like the masks of ancient Greek drama or the names of characters in Morality plays that served as symbols of deeper ideological relationships. This movie's labels aren't like Brechtian labels that playfully comment on stage conventions, nor are they like whose catoons animated exaggerated hand-drawn images mask the people whose voices we hear for the sake of fun. The labels in Petrovka don't resemble the devices’ of the Batman T'V' series, either, which used labels, actually masks, and a cartoon "tradition" to mix everything in "Campy" together a pseudo-Brechtian morality play. Actually, the labels in The Girl from Petrovkaaxe only labels —rendered deliberatley in dead earnest, but unconscious of the nothing have thatthey fact beneath the surface.

The true truth. The truth is so sad!" Well, telling been they've both useverything all along, and it is sad indeed. the enriches Nothing superficial. The labels become a lot like Dumbo's magic feather photographed in an artsy, slightly stylized way that robs the scene of any sensuousness that might have developed. One more thing should be said about the movie. Whenever a film is released that exposes a "social issue" (like On the Waterfront did, and Guess Who's Coming to Dinner and maybe Serpico) even if it's a poorly made movie, I always feel a slight tinge of regret when I knock it. Sometimes calling attention to an issue is itself a good thing, even if the experience is, aesthetically, a fiasco. And possibly it does take a special limited kind of courage to treat such problems on screen in front of millions of people. Directed by Robert Ellis Miller, The Girl from Petrovka, has the feel of one of those socially relevant films, but when you sort it out, all the fim really attacks is the repressive Comminist police state. Not even the provincial hick is like an anti-communist flip-side to the banal equally anti-McCarthy The Way We Were. And this one like that one has all the visual beauty of a softtouch greeting card.

The meetings are shown to be drunken brawls that keep 40-year grudges based on back-stabbing alive. The only aspect which appears to be advantageous is that the writers receive free copies of new SF books from their publishers. Recently, new SF writer Roland Green affirmed the truth of the matter... he agreed with Herovit. The Count: The Life and Films of Bela Lugosi, by Arthur Lennig. (G.P. Putnam's Sons.) The public at large usually reacts to the devotee of horror films much as the lover of literature reacts to the reader of Harold Robbins novels. (The exact reaction in both cases need not be elaborated upon, I hope.) But a fair examination of any facet of the horror genre requires an eye that can examine it with some familiarity, with the eye, basically, affection, and above all, with charity of a fan. If one goes nitpicking, the best screen horror will inevitably be found wanting in various trivial ways. But all the film knowledge in the world cannot make up for a lack of imagination and conviction (e.g. The Innocents, Jack Clayton's and Truman Capote's destruction of The Turn of the Screw). The horror film is the closest thing we have to a real myth in this Pragmatic Age, and dissecting a myth is a strikingly uncharitable act. A horror fan has been immersed in the myth perhaps the only perspective from which the genre can be dealt its due. - In consistent understatement, Herovit repeats the fact that SF is a very tight world limited to only a few hundred writers (few of whom excel) and adolescent readers who soon outgrow the genre. Despite the fact that Tolkien, Heinlein, and Bradbury are among the favorite authors of the college readers, they represent only a small section of what SF is concerned with. Herovit's conviction, unchallenged during a series of fans and editors, becomes more and more real. As a writer, he produces only to make money, and the fact is that writing is about all he can do. His marriage fails, his relationships lose their cement, and he is overrun by his fictional characters. Herovit's syndrome becomes "a subvariety of neurasthenia worthy of special annotation in the literature". encounters with — The unforgotten As the films of fright have been ignored for so long, their stars have as well. Now, with The Films of Boris Karloff just released, we have The Count, the first biography of Bela Lugosi. Arthur Lennig certainly appears well qualified to write on the life and films of Lugosi. Lennig is professor of cinema at the State University at Albany, and has written extensively on Lugosi, horror film, and cinema in general. More importantly, he is a genuine Lugosi nut; he had a "Lugosi shrine" in his cellar as a young boy, and met Lugosi several times in the actor's late life. The Count is clearly a labor of love. The book’s central thesis is that Lugosi was pitifully wasted by Hollwood, which persisted in seeing him as some sort of becloaked menace. Yet in his native Hungary, Lennig reveals, Lugosi was one step away from becoming a matinee idol when political trouble in his homeland forced him to leave, first for Germany, then for the U.S. In America, he became established in films as a Continental heavy; given time, however, his suave manners and handsome features could have made him a middle-European Charles Boyer. Reluctant monster But then came Dracula, both as popular play and smash-hit film, and the course of Lugosi's life was set. From then on, Lugosi was Dracula. His colleague Karloff was far more philosophical about being typed as a monster than Lugosi, since Karloff regularly did non-horror roles. Lugosi hungered for such a chance, but never received one. Lennig is primarily a film analyst, not a biographer. Consequently, his research and commentary on Lugosi's film work is extremely exhaustive too much so, in fact, since most of Lugosi's films don't warrant three and four pages of analysis, and the book often grows sluggish because of it. On the other hand, Lennig says next to nothing about Lugosi's private life, except for the actor's early years in Hungary and his later, tragic period during the late forties and fifties, when he was reduced to playing Fright Night spook shows and cavorting on screen with — Old Mother Riley. A morphine addict since the forties, Lugosi finally committed himself and kicked, with the renewed support of fans like young Lennig. Lugosi died a year later. As he requested, he was buried in his Dracula cape. Bela Lugosi's portrayal of Dracula will remain a cinema legend, both within the horror genre and outside it. The Dracula legend has pretty completely obscured the identity of its screen creator. For that reason, a biography of Lugosi is very welcome, and Lennig's effort, whatever its shortcomings, basically accomplishes its task. Like the Carpathian count, Lugosi has achieved immortality, but at the cost of his artistic soul. —Bill Maraschiello Herovit's World by Barry Malzberg (Pocket Books, $.95) The SF Convention is one of the most peculiar structures ever to come out of science fiction. As anyone who has attended one knows, it involves a good deal of personal contact between those insane writers and the even more insane fans. Getting to a convention takes money, but this year there is a cheaper and less demanding way to get there. Barry Malzberg's book Herovit's World is now in paperback. The book is fiction. It's the story of a hack writer of 92 equally mundane space operas goind through "writer's block". His pen name, Kirk Polland, was always a separate element of Herovit's psyche, and in this book the separation becomes complete. After admitting, in a Star Trek pun, that "nothing can go wrong for a man named Kirk", Kirk takes over. The story becomes a fine psychological analysis comparable to IVIalzberg's study of a has-been astronaut in The Falling Astronauts. Wholesome back-stabbing Herovit's World breathes an air of wit as it knocks down SF cliches. The Science Fiction Writers of America (SFWA), an organization dedicated to providing a The flavor of death In 1972, Malzberg won the John W, Campbell Award for his excellent novel Beyond Apollo. Since then, his work has gained a distinct flavor. His latest book. The Destruction of the Temple, is concerned with the assassination of JFK in the year 2016. The assassination occurs over and over again, produced by a group of dramatists, and the book is written in pure Malzberg style, dependent on the repetitious use of multiple-camera view. As a person, Malzberg is difficult to approach, appearing as aloof and disagreeable as his camera sight and terribly disdainful of fandom. It seems that his viewpoint is Herovit's. In an article in this year's Algol (which has just won a Hugo), Barry Malzberg writes an imaginary interview. In doing so, he accuses himself of thinking like Norman Mailer ( Advertisements for Myself), or, worse yet, Rex Reed. He writes: "I can see that I'm stuck with this; nobody wants to hear about me, anyway''. Herovit's World is not science fiction. It is not based on science or fantasy; it does not have bug-eyed monsters reciting Asimov's laws of robotics. It doesn't even have a spaceship. What it has is a very strange view of the world seen through the myopic eye of a science fiction writer. This proves the theory that SF writers do see a science fiction world, and the view is remarkable. Take the cover of the book, for instance. This is the first part of a work of literature one generaHy secs, and it often marks that point in time between the decision of buying it or running away. The cover portrays a writer on alien shores eagerly being devoured by a typewriter, a symbol which can easily be applied to any type of writer. If you have ever sat down and found your term papers going in the wrong direction or a piece of prose turning against you, you may find Malzberg's book interesting. Actually . . . this review really hasn't gone in the right direction, either. -Linds Michaels Sean'sS^QWSHOE (HIft Now Serving & Decorator Items TaCOS 24K Gold & Rhodium “The LAST TWO DAYS Q & Planters Figurines Staturary TODAY AND MONDAY 9 A.M.-5 P.M.

It became so large that Harriman Library could no longer contain its activities, forcing its expansion last year to the Courtyard Theatre at Lafayette and Hoyt Streets, where most of the productions and dance classes now take place. "Our statisticians told us we were utilizing 160% of all space in Harriman," says Gordon Rogoff, head of the Theatre Dept. "The Courtyard has got a theatre, dance studios, rehearsal space, it's just 10/17—19— Naked Lunch 11/7—10 The Misanthrope 11/15-17& 11/22—24 Dance '74 11/20-24 Baal Sexuality, 12/3 6 Knowledge and Theatre 12/7—8 Bits 'n Pieces Department Theatre productions are not closed affairs. Anyone can audition for a part or volunteer for technical work. "On stage there's about a 50—50 percentage of majors to non-majors.” Prof. Rogoff explained, "If one of us has a passion to do a play, we do it. Then we cast who we think is best." The open auditions cause some majors to be unhappy about the less desirable roles they — — - — — receive in theatre productions Prof. Rogoff recognizes this problem, but explains that there's a limit to what can be done. "Just someone takes acting doesn't mean they can play any part," he stated. "Why put on a play poorly? When we choose a play, we look at our company and ask 'What can they do? What's good for them? What will help them?' and cast from there. But not everyone can play Hamlet, no because matter how good they think they Gordon Roycoff what we needed." With this added area came the very desirable opportunity to university get theatre off campus and out into the community. Problems did crop up, particularly with transportation. Most students who want to sac a production at the Courtyard have to depend on a Bluebird bus to get them there and back. Last year. The White Devi/ played to seven-member audiences more than once because of the bus' failure to show. Professor Rogoff feels that the benefits outweigh the disadvantages. "Because we need the space, we'd rather be at the Courtyard. We now have an infinitely greater number of opportunities in theatre than in the past five years. Instead of two productions a semester, we can put out eight." Fall schedule: 10/4 Eric Bjentley by Brecht 10/17-19 Dance — — — Songs ' — are." With the opening of the Ellicott Complex on the Amherst Campus this year came the question of who will inhabit the new Drama Workshop there. The Theatre Department has already scheduled two productions there this semester, "Dance", presented in conjunction with the School of Health Education, and "Dance '74" with the Zodiaque Company and the Black Dance Workshop. As for the future, Prof. Rogoff notes, "Originally, Ellicott was to be used only by the Colleges, and the studio was for College B. Now Media Studies, Cultural Affairs, everyone would like to have it, but no one can afford it. It has to and maintained, run, protected. No one department can do that." Through all the growth and spreading out, the main objective of the Theatre Department hasn't been forgotten. "What we want to do," said Prof. Rogoff, "is bring a group of people together who can form a working artistic community which can then feed into the current theatre scene." They do this by attempting many of and theatre, types with each experimenting production -Kevin Crane be Phase IV Sci-ii Him views desert ants almost before he began; the whole thing seems like by Randi Schnur an elaborate Asst. Arts Editor Some extremely strange things have been happening out there in the southwestern desert, but only Dr. Hubbs has noticed them. Those seemingly harmless little black insects are, he insists, "doing things ants don't normally do meeting, communicating, apparently making decisions." As if this weren't portentous enough, the number of these suddenly and incomprehensibly intelligent creatures is increasing rapidly, while whole populations of ant-eating insects are disappearing from the area altogether. The good doctor's conclusion and recommendation; "Speed is of the essence!" Dr. Hubbs does get a government grant, a young assistant named Jim, a dome-shaped silver laboratory in the desert, and several thousand gallons of a suffocatingly thick, yellowish insecticide. Thus begins the first phase of a battle between man and which, the title a very unnatural nature nature implies, will last through Phase IV. — — — Not enough time What the biologist does not get, however, is enough time to allow the ants to come out for observation on their own, and the scientists' destruction of six mysterious stone towers from which the insects have been watching (anxiously? Can ants be anxious?) apparently leaves the survivors so incensed that they send line after line of furious soldiers to combat the intruders. apparently, though; decoding Only mathematical messages sent to the lab through their computer, Jim suddenly realizes that the ants are even more interested in observation than he and Hubbs are. Roasted all day by sunlight reflected from pieces of the towers that are now smooth as glass; able to operate their equipment, the wires of which have been chewed through, for only a few hours each night, the experimenters are themselves subjects in a controlfed experiment conducted by creatures they can crush between their fingers. Right idea Phase IV starts off with some very good ideas, but ends up as a very bad movie nonetheless. It has a lot of potential, at) of it left pretty mqch unrealized by the time director Saul Bass has used up his allotted hour and a half of film. Indeed, the viewer is left with the feeling that Bass ran out of cellulose — and largely boring — introduction to what might have been a very interesting film. We never do actually get up to the fourth phase; it begins just as the movie ends, but it is obvious that this time the ants will be on top, since they are very much smarter than the scientists who played right into their antennae. The film suffers from many common science fiction flaws: the ponderously awful script, the over-emphasis sophisticated of equipment and under development of character, the presence of a in this case, Fatal Flaw in the heroes' defenses their failure to remember that animals rise on the evolutionary scale through a combination of mutation and frustration. (Remember all those insects born immune to DDT?) — Other mistakes But Phase IV also makes quite a few mistakes which have nothing to do with the genre. Dick Bush's photography is often beautiful, but he tends to get carried away. Several shots, particularly the climactic frame in which Jim and Kendra, a local teenager who finds refuge in the lab shortly after the battle begins, stand silhouetted against a spectacularly red sunset, come off looking like Kodak commercials. The overall pretension and heavy-handedness of the production manages to overcome even its best moments, and the promised thrills, if there are any, come not as much from fear as from laughter. The acting is equally forgettable. Nigel Davenport, Michael Murphy, and Lynne Frederick are the tiresome trio caught under the dome. The latter two are merely decorative; Davenport, though, does have some fiery and rather interesting moments while his Hubbs emerges as an increasingly mad genius, finally becoming a sort of futuristic Captain Ahab obsessed by his plots to murder the insects' own Great Black Ant. The sequel, should director Bass ever decide to chance it, could bo a lot of fun. He'd probably have to use the same title, though, as it would deal with the fourth phase of experimentation that his current offering never quite gets around to. In fact, with a tight new shooting schedule, he could simply pull Phase IV Number One (which, in case you're still interested, is now playing at the Boulevard, Seneca, and Eastern Hills malls) out of circulation queen, his altogether . . .

Page eleven �Creative Associates Baird Hall to present Grateful Dead update On October second, the first of a most unusual series of concerts will be given at Baird Recital Hall. Under the auspices of Creative Associates, Tom Constanten, ex-keyboards man for the Grateful Dead, will be presenting and performing his compositions, which range from jazz-rock to electronic to avante-garde to pre-Bach orientation. It is not surprising that Tom's compositions are so varied in nature, considering his background: he really has covered the field, musically and otherwise. He grew up in Las Vegas during the '50's, when, he says, "it still had a slightly risque, old west flavot about it". He started to write music in 1959, at the tender age of fifteen, and after fiddling around with a National Science Foundation Scholaship in astrophysics, left for Europe in 1962 to study music. In Germany, Italy, England and Belgium, he studied with a surprisingly impressive list of teachers: Carlheinz Von Stockhausen, Pierre Boulez and Lucien Berio, among / others. (Well, we say, how does this lead to the Grateful Dead?) Some roommate It was in the early sixties that Tom found himself rooming with one Phil Lesh, who, at the time, abhorred anything but serious, "classical" music. He ended up doing his friend Jerry a favor by learning how to play the bass, but that's another story. Anyway, Tom joined the Dead in 1968, and his career for the next two years is popular history by now, so we won't bore you with it. Since he left the Dead in 1970, he's been stretching his wings in as many different directions as he could find. After performing on and arranging the Incredible String Band album "U", he and members from various other bands (Garcia, Chicken Hirsch from Country Joe, some mem{)ers'of Joy of Cooking, and others) became involved in a show called Tarot. It was all mime and music. After a cast album, the show "bio degraded", the band broke up, and Tom was back on the coast making money in studio gigs. He played with such luminaries as Janis Joplin, Richie Havens, Stevie Wonder, and Steven Stills, to name a few. He's also written a number of movie scores in the intervening time span, but none of them have really taken off. Pleasures of Buffalo So, after all that, what is he doing in, of all places, Buffalo? Tom says he's a little "sick of being let down by wheelers and dealers academic people are much more reliable". Here, he can writerand perform music for its own sake, and not have to contend with all the hassles surrounding the music business. It's also sort of a — rest stop, until the next phase happens (whatever that is). The first show will be presented this Wednesday'at 8 p.m. The band is made up of Constanten on keyboards and local musicians Albert Furness (drums). Art Levinowitz (sax), Joel Perry (guitar), Murray Kohn (bass), and Dennis Williamson (bass). The music will be jazz-rock oriented, or, as Tom puts it, "a multistylistic melange: aggregations of riffs and raffs". Constanten has a theory about music, related to driving a car. there's the movie score gear, show gear, "You have to shift gears gear star now I'm popping the clutch. I'll see what right rock happens." It should be very interesting to see what happens on — — Wednesday night. The Center of the Creative and Performing Arts at the State University of Buffalo (Creative Associates) is a rather remarkable organization. Started in 1964 by Lukas Foss and Allen Sapp, its purpose is to offer annual fellowship to "young professionals in new music and the contemporary performing arts." Since its foundation ten years ago, it has reached international proportions, touring Europe and drawing artists from all over the world. Their "Evenings for New Music" series is presented annually at the Albright-Knox. Keep tuned. —Willa Bassen Gallery 219 Fine arts exhibit in Norton It's important to have the fine arts brought close and Gallery 219, jon the second floor of Norton, promises some really unique and dynamic exhibits. I stopped in to the first exhibit, Reflections on White Noise by George Kindler. The atmosphere had a rather calming and thought-provoking effect. The artist himself was also available for live demonstrations and performances. Stop in to the Gallery, explore the room and the different effects and think there for awhile. Beginning October 2 and continuing through October 8, Ed Melnik will present his own video sculpture, including performances and discussion. The medium he uses involves color video tapes and T.V. monitors to encourage active involvement in the exhibit. Some of his work is already known at this University and has been shown on campus. to campus, On the boards Following that, for about four weeks the Gallery will be devoted to the work of a group of artists living across the U.S., Pnumbral Raincoast. Each artist in the group prepares packages with samples of his/her own work to be sent to the other artists on the list. These include writings, video productions. Xerox printing, film, photography, and music. Their philosophy regards spreading art as communication, and not confining it simply to a studio, or using it for purely individual purposes. As in a chain letter, an artist may take something out, replacing it with something of his own. The exhibit here will display samples of some of their work, along with anything the artists feel expresses themselves. These objects might include a drawing, or the back of the postcard inviting the artists to visit or send their work to the Gallery. Special musical performances in conjunction with the films shown are planned, and active interest and participation by visitors is encouraged she'd love to see more interest. New ideas and feedback from the exhibits will help in future planning. Art is a tremendous means of expression, and Gallery 219 offers new and really contemporary art close at hand for the simple enjoyment of the University community —Janice Simon and off the wheel November's exhibit is still in the planning stage, but in December, the Gallery will exhibit crafts, DON'T MISS pottery, jewelry, and handcrafted ceramics from the Creative Crafts Center, as well as selected student work.

Actually, it was more of an afternoon of student political activism. I suppose that term is a bit too strong since Hartford probably pioneered the mood of Eastern liberal apathy in 1972. The rallying cry at that time was “If it moves, smoke it.” No one remembered Kent State but just about everyone owned a copy of Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young’s “Ohio.” But you couldn’t dance to it. All during my freshman year, 1 advocated revolution. 1 may have been unsure of what I wanted to overthrow but at least I wanted to overthrow something. It ran in the family. My brother achieved the status as “dangerous revolutionary” at Notre Dame and my sister ran around this campus in 1970, daring the police to mace her. Genetically, I was capable but the atmosphere in Hartford was not condusive to fighting in the streets. I had to wait all year for my brief shining moment. Distributed by There were a few attempts at striking up some kind of activity among the students at UHa (That ought to prove that we never took ourselves too seriously). From UHa, we derived Uhahahaha. The October moratorium against the war attracted all of six UHa students who most likely stumbled onto the protest by accident. I went to the moratorium and stayed with a concerned interest group that mugged me later in the evening. That didn’t hurt so much but 1 needed that small change for bus fare home. SYNDICATE Conspiracy? To the Editor: There is a rumor floating around here that I wish someone would clear up. is there such a place as North Dakota? Some people in my geography class say there’s nothing but a bottomless, somewhat irridescent hole where North Dakota should be, and when you drive west past Minnesota or east past Montana, you fall off the edge. This is very disturbing to my friends and me. According to these people, it’s all a conspiracy among the Army Corps of Engineering, the government, and top executives at Rand McNally, who were faced with the problem of what to put in the empty space above South Dakota. Revealing the truth would be out of the question, they agreed, so they invented this mythical state and populated it with mythical cows Snd people. The Corps did its part by erecting misleading road signs and huge concave mirrors along roads leading to the state line so that drivers attempting to reach Bismarck or Mandan would actually be sidetracked to a dry riverbed in Nebraska. Have you ever been in North Dakota? Have you ever known anyone from there, or who’s been there? Have you ever received a phone call from North Dakota? Or a letter? Can you name either of the two senators from North Dakota? How do you know it’s there? Please help me. I don’t know what to say to these people. Name withheld upon “All I know is, we were told to ship it to San Clemente with a get-well-soon card” request In April, Hartford partook in a nationwide strike for peace. The evening before the strike, rumors swept the cafeteria with alarming inaccuracy. Though I did not check the morning papers, I still refuse to believe that the National Guard invaded the nearby Trinity College and shot 85 coeds. Trinity, at that time, was all mate. The next day was worse. UHa students were not only encouraged to miss classes, but they weren’t allowed to attend them. Our obnoxious Student Association (where were they before the strike?) assigned members to keep students from entering any academic building. (There were only three on campus.) By noon, the SA backed off and everyone went to classes. I think there was a mass Intro to Theatre exam given that day. By final time, 1 had turned into a flaming apathetic pothead. 1 may have been doomed to this existence forever if not for Richard Nixon. On May 8th, our one and a quarter term President had the audacity to announce a stepped-up attack against North Vietnam, including the mining of Haiphong Harbor. The revolution was on. It helped a lot that Connecticut Governor Tom Meskill supported Nixon’s move. We couldn’t very well truck on down to Washington, so the UHa radicals did the next best thing an organized revolt in front of the Governor’s mansion. Yeah, and I had a psych final that night. I knew I’d be able to get back in time for the exam, but naturally, I hadn’t studied. I was caught between what was right and what was smart. My roommate - made a personal appeal: “All year long you’ve been waiting for the revolution. And now you’re copping out.” “But I’ve got a D average in psych. The exam could pull up my grade, although I haven’t studied for it yet.” “And what about the revolution.” My eyes lit up. “What are we waiting for? Let’s go to Meskill’s.” We hitched to the Governor’s mansion and joined the array of campus celebrities who kept wandering in front of the TV news cameras. How can they televise the revolution? I asked the person I thought was the leader of the movement for the battle plans. “We’re gonna sit on his driveway and keep car from coming in,” he said. “Is that it?” “He’s going to have to drive over us to get in his Meskill’s pig mansion.” “Oh yeah. Drive right over us, huh?” “Don’t worry. My buddy George is padlocking the gate behind you.” George actually padlocked the gate. He dared a couple of state troopers to evict him. “Nyeh, Nyeh! Come and get me, pigs! The troopers calmly told George to remove the padlock. 1 lost the key, pigs. You’ll have to blow-torch it off! They didn’t have to. They knocked it off with a sledge hammer which I guess was ordinarily used for hand-to-hand combat. George was led away but he didn’t stop “nyeh nyehing” until the police car turned the corner. George’s friend was frantic. “Quick, does anybody know ‘Give Peace A Chance’?” But before we had the opportunity to suffer through that indignity, the troopers announced that the Governor would be away for the evening. “Are we going to sit on this driveway all night,” I asked my roommate. “Nah, let’s go to MacDonalds.” And that phase of my career ended. But 1 want to personally thank those two wiz kids who sat in front of me during the psych exam, without whose help 1 would not be here today. frorr here to ther by Garry Wills The idea of public service as a reduced sentence for war resisters is very like the “workfare” proviso that George Schultz put in the Moynihan plan for a guaranteed annual income. That was a sop to right wingers, who hate the idea of anybody’s “getting something for nothing.” Welfare recipients were to be forced to work or to take work training. The thing was impractical from the start. Unemployment was already high, not for lack of the will to work but for lack of jobs. The training centers would have to be set up, and employers begged to find room for the products of those centers. The decision apparatus would have been created for choosing who should work and at what, who should stay home with children, or who would man day care centers. It was a good example of the opponents of “big government” trying to set up government snoops and slave-herders and bureaucrats becuase they dislike the poor more than they dislike government interference. The same problems arise for putting expatriates to work as the price of their re-entry. Where would we find the jobs? Are we to put people out of work creating special kinds of jobs for these men? It is suggested that they do social work. Who will support them while they do? The government, which is trying to cut its budget? Public works are already being suggested for the work force laid off by the current high unemployment rate - are we to pre-empt those jobs with young men able to find work or schooling elsewhere? The desire to punish others just leads us to self punishment. Or take the matter of oaths of loyalty, declarations of penitence, admissions of guilt. The attempts to extract these from men who return it would keep the would have only one effect - most principled war resisters, who feel no guilt, out of the country. Only they have the conscience and discipline to refuse such an offer. In other words, we would screen out the best and accept back those of slack conscience, who had a merely selfish desire to run away. But short of such a self-defeating test, how does one probe the motives of those who absented themselves from the Vietnam war? Are we to have tribunals of Solomons, going over the work of detectives, case by case? Using what norms? The odd thing is that the American people themselves are divided on the proper tests for repatriation. Some would approve of a test that kept the ideological opponents of the war in Canada or in the underground, considering them the hard and principled anti-patriots. But this makes the test for repatriation a man’s opinion, which goes against the First Amendment to the Constitution. And it leads to the absurdity of accepting a merely lazy draft dodger back and refusing readmittance to men who said in the middle of the war what many of the war’s first advocates were saying by the end of the Sixties. All right, should we admit back the hardest war critics? Aside from the difficulty of deciding who these are, we again seem to be rewarding an opinion rather than punishing an objective act of crime and that, too, goes against the First Amendment, The truth is that no good moral sense can be made out of the Vietnam War, which never had any — moral sense and it is for just such situations that amnesty (forgetfulness) was devised. It wipes the incident out, so far as legal guilt or innocence goes; pretends, for the courts, that it never happened. That is the solution we must eventually reach. Those who oppose that solution, like those who supported the war, just prolong our agony to no good end. — �Literary Arts Funding cutbacks result in budget-minded poetry series Cuts in arts funding by Sub-Board has compelled the Literary Arts Committee to plan a ‘budget-minded’ program of poetry readings for this year. “It’s a problem of all the small committees, and especially the arts-oriented ones,” one committee member conceded. “Although the poetry readings have attracted big audiences in the past, the Board only wants money-making committees, like film, to receive large funds. Committees like us, who’ve traditionally held everything for free, just don’t have the income they look for when it comes time to budget funds,” the member stated. “The Board has the exclusive right,” charged the Literary Arts representative, “to deny us speakers and actually run us without ever attending our readings, looking at the gallery, or listening to a concert. All they do is look at the figures.” Coming poets Suggested speakers for this year include Victor Hernandez Cruz, Diane Wakowski, Denice Levertov, and Galway Kinnell, required by the conditions of their grants to give free readings in exchange for expenses, board, and entertainment by the host universities. The committee plans to minimize speakers’ expenses by selecting poets from the local or state area. In addition to the Literary Arts Committee program, the English Department is holding its own poetry series. Charles Reznikoff has already read on September 18th and on October 7th, Phil This Saturday night in the Rathskellar Pub, the Top of the Pops and other hits will be played by The Bear Mountain Picnic Massacre Band. The boys are pictured above. (Sunflower seeds are optional.) New Rathskellar Pub labeled as successful by customers and SA “Successful” is the word Michael Phillips, treasurer of Sub-Board, used to describe last weekend’s opening of the new student Pub, located in the Norton Hall Rathskellar. The 1100 people who jammed into the Pub on Friday and Saturday nights evidently had the same response. There were a few minor problems, however, thif will be adjusted in the future. A number of students expressed disappointment with the music. Mr. Phillips was upset with this situation and promised to make improvements. In addition to the entertainment, other changes will include subdued lighting and a more ample supply of beer pitchers, according to Mr. Phillips. Levine will appear the Conference Theater Finally, a Departmental poetry series is planning monthly readings, according to English professor Albert Cook. Straiten Rossen and Ray Federman were here on September 19th. Upcoming readings include Jack Clark and Mike Finn on October 3rd, Richard Creeley and Bobbi Louise Hawkins on October 10th. Future readings will be announced upon release by the individual departments. -A lice Jacobson Limited security Since student behavior was not a problem, there are no plans to increase security measures. However, Student Association (SA) workers will continue to supervise the activities. Michael Liben, who works with Mr. Phillips in making preparations for the Pub, has been auditioning and selecting the bands. While he is looking for competent musicians who play with a degree of originality, he feels more dancing music would be appropriate for the upcoming weekends. He said attempts are being made to lower the alcohol prices. Presently, a pitcher of beer costs $1.50 plus tax, and a glass, 33 cents plus tax. Mr. Phillips, Mr. Liben, and the SA are pleased with student reaction to the Pub and enjoy offering a “real service” to the student body. To avoid a,drop in interest and attendance, Mr. Phillips feels “if people don’t like what we’ve got, they should definitely make suggestions.” This weekend, “Merlin” will be on stage Friday night and “The Bear Mountain Picnic Massacre Band” will appear Saturday evening. cAURUM HANDCRAFTED AND ANTIQUE JEWELRY At Steak & Brew We don’t blow our own horn about our specials our patrons do that for us. for $3.95... unbelievable, licious" —Phil Gibson juicy Roast Prime Ribs 25—I'm going to be a ly regular."— Nancy Sullivan .OIN H.Y.

Working in cooperation with law enforcement agencies, the “tooth sleuths” can determine whether a body burned beyond recognition is a particular person by comparing found teeth with the suspected victim’s dental charts. Prominent cases in which dental charts compared with found teeth proved identity of remains include Adolph Hitler, more than 20 of the victims in the Houston homosexual mass murder, and members of the Symbionese Liberation Army found butned inside a gutted Los Angeles bungalow. Dr. Alan J. Drinnan, professor and chairman of oral medicine in the State University at Buffalo School of Dentistry, who has worked on police cases locally, says forensic or “legally aspected” dentistry is not new. Refined process “But although dental identification goes back more than a century, only in recent years has it been refined,” he said. Since teeth are 99 per cent calcium, most organic processes won’t destroy them. Some dentures, unlike teeth, are acid-resistant and virtually indestructible. “Burn victims, the dismembered, and others otherwise unrecognizable may be identified only by their teeth or dentures,” Dr. Drinnan said. There are thousands of possible variations in one set of teeth, which makes it improbable two sets would ever be identical. “Most people think fillings generally look alike. But a dentist knows there are more than 148 possible surfaces which would be filled in a mouth with a full complement of teeth. If you add natural malformations, bridgework, caps and crowns, the variations and their particular combinations become endless,” he stated. Those who deal in the forensic aspects of dentistry admittedly have an easier task of identification if they have a chart to compare with found teeth. “When you have the teeth and no clue as to whom the owner might be, it’s like looking for the needle in the haystack,” he said. In plane crashes, the airlines’ manifests provide a tentative roster of victims. Then those persons’ dental charts are rounded up and compared with found teeth at the site to determine whether all listed passengers were aboard. No computer charts Nationally and internationally, forensic dentists are faced with a £iant problem since there’s no uniform numbering system on charts nor are charts categorized and computerized as are fingerprints. Some dentists number teeth right to left, while others start numbering from the midline victims in the American Dental Journal hoping to reach a dentist who would ‘remember’ a particular set of dental characteristics. The response from dentists was not significant in helping establish identities for these victims,” Dr. Drinnan related. Thinking that inscribing the owner’s name and address into his dentures would be a step forward. Dr. Drinnan left 15 sets of dentures with his name and address — -UPI affixed which causes confusion if a dentist is trying to identify by written description. There is now a move toward uniform numbering, however, which could well pave the way toward a more efficient system. Since charts are not computerized nationally, police agencies take a “shot in the dark” when seeking help from dentists in identification cases. “I have written every police agency which over a period of five years placed dental descriptions of WORDS ON FILM In this pioneering work, available for the first time in English, Christian Metz seeks to apply the insights of structural linguistics to the aesthetics of film, opening new paths of criticism with his fresh and powerfully conceived theories. — in several airports across the country Only three were returned. One airport sent him a form letter which stated “this item was found in our airport. If you do not claim within ten days, it will be turned over to a charitable organization for distribution!” International cases While identification of victims is usually * of importance only to police attention. At a recent meeting in London chaired by Dr. Drinnan, one speaker stirred controversy anew over the whereabouts of the missing Nazi, Martin Bormann. The speaker at the Federation Dentaire Internationale ha$, through research, examined teeth found in a recent "German excavation, compared them with the Bormann charts kept under lock and key by the German government, and concluded Bormann is dead. There are many who believe the missing Nazi is alive and well in South America. Verification of Hitler’s remains was partly possible by comparing teeth found in Berlin at his alleged pyre with charts and interviews provided by his dentist, a University of Pennsylvania dental school graduate who had returned to Germany after graduation. While Erie County cases haven’t received international attention, the same painstaking work must be done, says Dr. Stuart L. Fischman, piofessor of oral medicine and newly named head of the E.J. Meyer Memorial Hospital dental department. Success rate Dr. Charles Skoney, clinical instructor and Meyer senior dentist who worked in forensic dentistry for several years with now-retired Dr. Conrad Lange, said nine of a dozen identifications were made there in recent years through comparison of teeth with charts. “Cooperation with area dentists is invaluable in our work. Quite often I encounter a dentist with whom I graduated or one who came through our Meyer dental department during his training,” said Dr. Skoney, a State University at Buffalo Dental School graduate. “When an unidentifiable body arrives at the morgue, the County medical examiner orders a complete dental exam and full mouth X-rays. Then law enforcement representatives bring us charts of known missing persons to compare with our findings,” he explained. If this method is not successful, dentists practicing in the geographic area where the body was discovered are polled for clues. “But if a body floats from Detroit to Buffalo or if the victim is someone from outside our area, then police must make inquiries to the area the person might have been from,” he said. @D&an.xSW Fmii& STEAKS (Sat. famous tom 3nn4s For Zfo Entire Sun.) & “Shoes Made for Feet” HHIUIUIHAI A Semiotics of the Cinema CHRISTIAN METZ Translated by Michael Taylpr V $1.59 $10.95 * The first coherent analysis of avant-garde filmmaking in America, (his book is ‘’indispensable reading.. ..’’—Richard Rood. “One of the most extraordinary movements in the history of the American arts has found its exegete at last." —Stephen Koch VISIONARY FILM * * * masculine or feminine noun, a brand-new offbeat addition to the language of shoe.

Rubin Spectrum Staff Writer The Cross Country Bulls continued their losing ways on Tuesday as a powerful Geneseo squad handed the Bulls their fourth loss of the young season. The race was the only one of the season that will be run on Buffalo’s home Grover Cleveland course. Coach Jim McDonough explained that the increase in triangular and quadrangular meets over the past few years means that the Bulls are on the road two or three years for every home meet, and that this is just an off year. Why this movement away from the dual meets, which kept a better home and road balance? “I like them (triangular and quadrangular meets) for the extra competition,” McDonough said.

He does not want to lay out a course on the Amherst campus and then find out that a building is to be constructed right across it. However, he added, “I’m anxious to have a home course out at the new campus. It’s gonna be gorgeous.” Geneseo got off to a quick start in Tuesday’s race when Willie Bauze and Co-captains Dan Porter and Joe Contario opened up a huge lead over the rest of the field in the first mile. Although the Bulls placed all five of their runners in the next six slots, the Knights 1-2-3 punch was insurrmountable. Even in defeat, however, there was a positive note for the Bull harriers. It was the first race of the year in which they were not shutout. Victory was highly unlikely against a Geneseo team that has won 36 of its last 37 races dating back to 1972.

Suddenly he was on Hunt’s tail again, and on the 60th lap he was by and free to take off after Regazzoni. At this juncture Lauda, still in the lead, crashed. Only 12 laps from the end he met with an oil patch and ended his bid for the Canadian Championship. The points race for the World Championship took on a new shape. Regazzoni had led Scheckter by one point and Fittipaldi by three going into the Mosport race. Lauda and Peterson also were still possibilities, although Lauda’s crash put him out of it. (Fortunately, the Austrian was not hurt.) victory at Monza two weeks ago, was closing fast on Regazzoni. He closed it up to a second-and-ahalf, but that six points for second place meant too much to Regga and Peterson could do no more. Fittipaldi’s nine points for his win and Regazzoni’s six tied them at 52 for the world title going into the finale at Watkins Glen (U.S. Grand Prix) next week. Scheckter, seven points back, is capable of winning any race he enters, largely due to the tutelage of Ken Tyrell, the man who had a large Hand in Jackie Stewart’s greatness.

Burke-Steln 6-4, 7-5 Coach Richardson has bright outlook by Paige Miller Staff Writer Spectrum Editor's note: This is the last a three-part series featuring three of Buffalo’s relatively new coaches. Today’s subject, Leo Richardson, took over a basketball program last year that had lost four of five starters and was in for some rough sailing. of “Going into Division I with the kind of schedule we had, I knew Leo Richardson the job would be difficult,” said Leo Richardson, looking back on last year. Richardson faced a big rebuilding job, particularly in replacing 6’6” center Curtis Blackmore. “I knew that we would have a difficult time getting a big man. With a certain junior college transfer that I expected to get, 1 thought we’d win ten or twelve games,” he added. Bad start Buffalo didn’t get that junior college transfer, or adequate big man, or ten victories. This problem was compounded by disappointing seasons from two returning players, Rayfield Goss and Horace Brawley. The Bulls struggled to a mere five wins, against 19 defeats. Nonetheless, Richardson was able to cite some positive notes from his first year at the helm. “Last year there was some doubt in our players’ minds that we could win. Now we have the attitude that we can win. The Rochester game (an upset victory late in the season) was very important,” the coach claimed. The coach also feels that the program now has personnel that will bring improvement. “We have surrounded ourselves with the kind of people that would give us all we need to win, except the big man,” Richardson said. His eventual goal is a tournament caliber team that could beat squads like Syracuse and Rochester consistently. However the search for quality ballplayers is hindered by the University’s tough admissions policy. “I try to adjust and do what the institution wants me to do,” he said. “Naturally, we’ll have difficulties trying to recruit with the present policies. We’d have difficulties even if the standards were lowered,” the coach added. He also criticized the grants-in-aid policy, but he still hopes to recruit four of five top prospects for the next few years. “Then, we’ll have the kind of team we’re looking for,” he added. Study hall Richardson has begun a nightly study hall for his team, in an effort to keep them all academically eligible. “Last year we didn’t do this and we lost one man,” noted the second-year coach. (Additionally Brawley and Goss failed to graduate last spring.) Richardson and his assistants are trying to make themselves more available to the athletes if they have any problems academically. Although the school nor the athletic budget can provide money for tutors, Richardson reports that several departments have been cooperative in assisting the players. “We try to do a little bit more than we have to,” said Richardson. The road has been full of pot holes for him, but he appears to have passed most of them. This week’s look at three of Buffalo’s head coaches provides interesting insights into some of the problems of the Athletic Department as a whole. Coming in cold one or two years ago, our three subjects have learned very quickly about things like Student Association (SA) budget procedures, state and University policy on athletic scholarships and the one that may yet turn into the biggest issue admissions policy. Coaches are prone to taking a job with a concentrated singularity of purpose. They want to win. If their program was winning before they arrived, they would want to win bigger, better and even more frequently. If the program wasn’t that good, immediate and long range steps are taken to ensure improvement. I’ve never met a coach that was satisfied (perhaps a trip to UCLA or Notre Dame would change that for me) and I understand and respect that. However, any situation has certain givens that the principals must accept. Esposito, Richardson and McDonough have learned a lot in a short time. Believe me, I know. What people like myself haven’t told them they have learned the hard like how athletic director Harry Fritz is not way the final authority on their budgets, or how many top recruits have failed to meet the University’s admissions standards. Soccer mentor Sal Esposito is not satisfied with his budget. I sympathize with him but I don’t believe anyone is satisfied with their budget these days. The coaches aren’t, the SA Clubs aren’t, the University isn’t, and we’re not too choked up about ours. But what can anyone do. Buffalo’s athletic department is far from unique on this point. Inflation seems to have the whole country running scared. Actually, Esposito is a man sitting in a rocket, seemingly going to the moon. He’s in good shape, but not without considerable risk. His rocket is stronger than hell, but it may blow up before it gets there. The tuition waivers that many of his foreign stars have go far toward solving their problems, but the soccer program still has a history of foreign players who play a different style and aren’t particularly fond of practice. Ultimately, winning should solve everything. After two years, Jim McDonough finds his team competing in Cross Country races without distance - — *'»«« § f 9m , runners and forfeiting several events per track meet. However, he has also recruited successfully for several events and there has been some progress. The biggest reason is Eldred Stephens, an incredible four-event performer who set school records as a freshman last spring. A Niagara Falls native, Stephens typifies what the perfect Buffalo athlete would be like. He not only excels on the track but is a standout in the classroom as well. Traditionally, one finds few standout students on Buffalo’s basketball squads, a problem that Leo Richardson is very sensitive about. He is working toward a doctorate himself, and is concerned with having his players remain eligible and working toward graduation. As such, we applaud his institution of a nightly study hall for his players. However, Leo will be tempted to recruit individuals that are not qualified academically. There is no question that there should be somewhat lower requirements for prospective athletes than for other students. The high school athlete does not have the study time that his classmates enjoy and one can’t expect his grades to be as high, whether he is intelligent or not. But it would be sad if the coaches had a free reign and were allowed to bring in anyone they wanted. The school and its admissions standards are the given here and they should not be abused. Winning teams are not worth the price of having profoundly unqualified students filling our athletic rosters. It won’t help them and it wouldn’t accurately reflect the University. Obviously, the policy of admitting athletes with only slightly lower grades, which we hope admissions and records sticks with, is not conducive to powerhouse teams. Leo would like to bring a team to a national tournament some day. Both admissions and a lean budget seem to be working against this hope. Other coaches have similar ambitions for their sports, and these appear equally unreasonable. Hopefully they can adjust, as Jim McDonough has, to competing on a level that is appropriate for their programs. Money, facilities, admissions and other factors are working strongly against the building of a national power in athletics. It’s time we faced up to what we have and what we are and fell ir with the other SUNY schools in low-level statewide competitions.

With the designated hitter rule, Durkin and Cox may find that wielding the bat may be their main contributions. Monkarsh is sure of his pitching and feels he can get adequate hitting from the outfield. “We need an infield that can stabilize the team.” Looking for that infield, the coach has been working many different combinations of infielders, often playing in excess of twenty people a game, followed by an additional twenty the next game. Hopefully, if an infield can be found this fall, the team can work on hitting through the use of a pitching machine, and throwing (through a weight training program) during the winter.

Day Care Center steps up efforts to secure state funding by Don Eisenmann Contributing Editor The University Day Care Center is stepping up its efforts to secure funds to continue operations this year after the termination of its funding last summer by the Student Association (SA) and the Graduate Student Association (GSA). The elimination of the entire $23,000 per year in SA funding has forced the center to seek aid from the state and other sources in an attempt to maintain its present level of services. The center, which operates in the basement of Cooke Hall, provides care, education and meals for the children of about 80 student and faculty members. Student government officials voted to cut the funding because they felt student fees could no longer be used to pay for what they consider an individual service. “We had to make a priority choice, it was not an arbitrary decision but a matter of economics,” said Michael Phillips, treasurer of Sub-Board. “We can no longer support the rising costs of the expanding areas of the center’s operation, especially when we’re cutting back in other areas,” Mr. Phillips said. Not affordable Sub-Board calculated that it was paying about $750 per student user of the Day Care Center. This represented the activity fees of almost 12 students per parent user, which the student governments felt was no longer affordable. When the center was established, the student associations provided what was originally thought to be a one-time grant of 310,000 to set up the center. However, the center requested additional yearly funding. This year’s request of $29,597 was turned down, although the student governments still say they support the center in principle. When appeals to Sub-Board proved unsuccessful. Day Care Center supporters turned to the state. In an open letter to University President Robert Ketter, the center appealed: “A service that is needed by a large number of students and staff at this University, which is low cost and provides quality care, cannot and should not be paid for by the student body, who find it impossible to support other needed activities on this campus . . . Therefore, we turn to the Administration as the organization who has the responsibility to see that childcare needs are met. We are asking for a budget request of $29,000 to meet our current payroll.. .” For training only The letter led to a meeting between Day Care representatives, assistant executive vice president Charles Fogel, and president Albert Somit. The two administrators pointed out the difficulties of obtaining additional funds. Dr. Fogel explained that the funding the center now receives from the state, which pays the salary of the director and one assistant, is provided because Albany regards it as “related to academic enterprises.” The only reason the center has been funded, he said, is so it can help the nursing program or social instruction program, for instance, directly in the training of their students. The center cannot be funded if it serves merely as a babysitting service, explained Dr. Fogel. “1 don t believe that is how it originated or what we have now but there is no way I can foresee that $29,000 can be replaced from state funds.” “We’re not allowed to provide additional funds without approval from Albany, and they’re questioning the relevance of the initial allocation,” he added. “The only thing they can do is look to outside resources, such as the Buffalo Foundation, or even SASU, which might view it as worthy of support. Their only other alternative is to try and operate with their present funds. “We certainly don’t want to see them go.” Drop out As it now stands, parents pay a fee based on income and also have to provide a certain number of work hours of service each month. “If the center is forced to close, a lot of students would have to drop out of work or school because they don’t have relatives to leave their children with or can’t afford the $30-535 a week fee of a professional center,” said a spokesperson for the center, e had the children hand out petitions at Hayes Hall Thursday because we wanted to let the administration know that we were serious with our request,” she added. The action led to considerable publicity for the center’s cause, and several campus organizations and individuals wrote letters to the administration urging them to support the center. “Concerned individuals can join committees working on the problem, write letters calling for support, or if possible, donate money,” she said. —C»nt«r �Del Corso had urged Ohio guardsmen to write letters in support of the war, and had publicly stated his belief that Communist conspirators were behind the campus protest New Kent State evidence Guard was given the order to fire As the long awaited (CPS) criminal trial of several Ohio National Guardsmen indicted for the 1970 shootings at Kent State University approaches, their commanding officer has confirmed earlier reports that one of the indicted men actually gave an order to fire. Until now, National Guard officials have consistently maintained that no order to fire had been given. Lt. Col. Charles Fassinger made the disclosure in a sworn deposition filed recently in a civil case in which he and more than 50 other persons are being sued for their roles in the Kent incident which left four students dead and nine wqunded. Fassinger, who was the highest uniformed officer on the scene of the shootings, testified that an order to fire had been given by Matthew J. McManus. It was not clear from Fassinger’s deposition whether McManus gave the order before or after the shooting began or whether McManus told the troops to fire at or over the students. — Not final Justice Department A summary of an 8000-page FBI the shootings report on corroborated Fassinger’s story, but said, “Sgt. McManus stated that after the firing 6egan, he gave an order to ‘fire over their heads’.” The Justice Department summary states, “There was no initial order to fire.” A source close to the case, however, emphasized that the summary was only of information uncovered in the months immediately following the shooting and is by no means the final word on the matter. It is expected that the question of an order to fire will be more closely pursued as additional witnesses are Interviewed and during subsequent court proceedings. McManus is one of eight former guardsmen indicted by the federal grand jury which ' investigated the shootings last winter (after then-Attorney General Elliot Richardson overruled the decisions of his predecessors John Mitchell and Richard Kleindienst forbidding such a grand jury investigation). are also proceeding. The civil cases are brought under the federal civil rights laws, which provide money damages for persons deprived of their constitutional rights under color of law. All nine of the injured students, plus the parents movement. The most significant feature of the civil cases is that they name as defendants not only the enlisted personnel who fired their weapons into the students on May 4, but the National Guard also commanders and officials who Another of the civil defendants is James A. Rhodes, who was Governor of Ohio in 1970, and who had appointed Del Corso. Late in 1969 and in 1970, Rhodes had made public vows to end disruptions on Ohio campuses. During Rhodes’ administration the Ohio National 'Guard saw more duty in civil disorders than the National Guard of any other state in the union. / <• McManus himself has taken the of all four of the students killed at Fifth Amendment in response to Kent, have such cases pending. The cases have been consolidated questions about the shooting. and will be tried in federal court in Cleveland in April 1975. The More indictments lengthy process of pre-trial The criminal trial of McManus discovery is now going on, and it and the seven other indicted was in the course of this discovery guardsmen is scheduled to open in process that Fassinger disclosed Cleveland in mid-October.

In April of this year, shootings emerges. however, that dismissal was of overturned by the U.S. Supreme Meanwhile, independently the criminal cases, the civil cases Court. Drive them out On the day before the Kent shootings, Rhodes had held a press conference in the city, V denouncing the groups whom he > presumed responsible for the disorder and vowing to “drive them out of Kent.” A former guardsman who was in charge of the Guard’s press relations at Kent State has testified in his deposition in the civil cases that a closed meeting preceeding his press conference Rhodes had given orders that the Guard should disperse even peaceful assemblies on the campus. Rhodes is currently out of office, but he is running as the Republican candidate for Governor of Ohio again this fall. More light on the 1970 shootings is expected to be shed as the months of depositions and other discovery in the civil cases proceed and are made public. were responsible for placing the Principal attorneys for twelve of troops in the situation with the thirteen Kent civil plaintiffs loaded weapons and under orders are Steven A.

Writings of George Jackson, Angela Davis and Ramsey Clark and others will also be included. Both Big Black and Mr. Strong would like to work towards creating a general awareness of Attica as a social and political issue rather than an isolated incident. “Why is the state spending eight million dollars to prosecute the case? Why is the Grand Jury all white and why is it that only the prisoners 1 received indictments?’ are the kinds of questions they seek answers to. Mr. Strong and Big Black feel the answers can be found outside the prison walls and in the socio-political structure of the United States. “Attica is everything,” Big Black surmised. Although this is the only course being offered First hand account on Attica at present and enrollment is small, Big One of the course “texts” is to be Attica: The Black and Mr. Strong hope that the interest Official Report of the New York Special generated will initiate formation of additional Commission on Attica. Since Big Black actually courses pertaining to relevant social upheavals. This semester, a unique course entitled Attica: The Nature of Criminal Justice in America has been added to the college catalogue. One of the particularly outstanding features of the course is its instructors, Dave Strong and Frank “Big Black” Smith. Big Black, one of the sixty-one Attica Brothers indicted after the September 1971 uprising, is the National Director of the Attica Brothers Legal Defense. Together, Mr. Strong and Big Black will approach the course from a radical perspective. Beginning with an intensive study of Attica the prison, the uprising and its aftermath, the course will explore the nature of criminal justice in America and will attempt to draw some general conclusions about the function and future of our prison system.

Nationwide, 40,000 students will apply for 14,000 available openings in American medical schools. White students with less than an A-average have little chance of acceptance, as do minority students with less than a B-average, according to one admissions committee. In the face of this overwhelmingly stiff competition about 500 students yearly are leaving the country to undertake the difficult task of attending a foreign medical school. Getting accepted is not much easier at most foreign schools and in addition, students encounter a raft of obstacles as evidenced by a 30 to 50% attrition rate during the first year, compared to 5% in the United States. — Transfer advisable If the student survives the first year, chances of lasting the entire medical course improve considerably. But certain medical schools require a 6 to 12-month period of service and advisors government recommend that a U.S. citizen’s principal goal should be to return to the U.S. at the earliest possible time to transfer with advanced standing into an accredited medical school. The transferring procedure, however, requires taking a transfer application test, securing letters of recommendation and making more admissions applications. In 1072, only 31.8% of 676 Americans successfully completed the transfer from a foreign to a U.S. medical school. As there is almost no chance for students to a t tend an English-speaking medical school (Australia, Canada, Great Britain, South Africa), the language handicap becomes the biggest stumbling block for first-year students. Advisors warn that those learning the language will need English editions of foreign textbooks to assist study and that students must be adaptable, self-disciplined, highly motivated and prepared to take yearly make-or-break oral examinations covering a lot of ground. In addition, European professors are typically inaccessible and Guidance Some guidance is available for the interested pre-med student in the booklet “Guide to Foreign Medical Schools,” obtainable for $4 from the Institute of Organization’s World Directory of Medical Schools, available from the World Health 27, Geneva 1211 Organization, Switzerland. All schools listed in the World Directory are accredited by their own national accrediting organizations of their ■governments.

Graduates test (ECFMG) before being; allowed to practice in the U.S. or even take an internship of residency in a U.S_ hospital. This test is given twice-yearly throughout the world and there is no limit to the number of times a physician is permitted to take it. Recently, however, that test has comeunder fire by a task force of theAssociation of American Medical Colleges, as being too easy. The AAMC task force charged that the present system for accepting the foreign medical graduate (FMG) into the U.S. has led to the creation of “a category of second-class physicians.” The report points out that the U.S. medical system has become increasingly reliant on FMG’s who now make up about one fifth of the nation’s 356,000 doctors. (American nationals make up only a small percentage of the total FMG’s.) In 1972, more graduates of foreign medical schools entered the U.S. than physicians were graduated within the country. Obstacles In order to stem the flow of FMG’s into the U.S., the task force recommended: a tougher medical exam to replace the ECFMG; number of limiting the internships and residencies made available to FMG’s; the establishment of a pilot project to give foreign students remedial undergraduate medical education to bring them up to American standards, and more funding of U.S. medical schools to provide space for more American students. The AAMC task force admitted that there might be a shortage of house staff at hospitals during an intermediary period if its proposals were adopted but some International Education, Publications Department, 809 United Nations Plaza, New York, N.Y. 10017. The booklet reviews application procedures for schools in 15 countries and includes comments and suggestions from American students who attended foreign schools. In the booklet students are also warned to attend ojily those schools listed in the 1974 edition of the World Health me problems insurmountable, prospective foreign student has been the victim recently of a new system of entrepreneurs who promise students intensive courses of language study, orientation and a “placement” in a medical school. The Journal of Medical Education warns that “while most of the 'arrangements’ appear on the surface to be helpful, the catch is in the large size of the seem, said it seems “inappropriate” that the U.S. with its exishing resources should “depend to any significant degree on phys i cians supplied by education system of other countries.” The clear message from foreign medical school advisors is that unless a student is extremely dedicated and willing to endure substantial red tape and language problems, he is better off considering another occupation. First Assembly meeting se ts SA "s goals “What is the Student Assembly?” Executive Vice President Scott Salimando asked rhetorically at the Assembly’s first meeting Monday evening. The Assembly met in a non-voting “informational” session in Haas Lounge. members received packets including a summary of Robert’s Rules of Order, a copy of the Student Association (SA) Constitution, a list of SA financial regulations and an application for “orientation workshops.” The orientation workshops are Assembly means of newly-instituted acquainting new members with a the workings of the Assembly before they vote on substantive issues. Members will meet in small groups with representatives of the Executive Committee and learn about budgeting and the functions of the various SA officers and coordinators. President Frank Jackalone discussed “transition in student highlighting four of SA. The first function, said Mr. Jackalone, is recognition. This was student government’s main focus in the early 1960’s. Student organizations concentrated on government,” functions activities like tree-planting and driver safety in order to get from the recognition administration and the community. Peaking The second area of concentration is services, clubs, beer blasts, movies, concerts and other activities. Mr. Jackalone said SA has “peaked” in this area. He predicted further growth of a student bureaucracy to take over activities. The third area is academic reform, Mr. Jackalone said. “We are consumers of education,” he argued and students must demand their worth. Mr. money’s Jackalone said SA is bogged down in a “constant battle to prevent regression.” He cited review of the pass/fail option, the four-course load and the drop-add date as areas where student interests are affected without significant student in the participation decisions. He called for eventual student control of education. The final area mentioned is change. “Social community change has to come from the such oppose administrations action for fear of “backlash” from the taxpayers. Mr. Jackalone said the Assembly must be made more responsive and representative this year. Salimando Mr. agenda ran of issues for the over an coming year. He emphasized review of the SA budget,, which was passed in Executive session last year after the Assembly failed to complete its deliberations before the end of the spring term. Reform of the four-year-old SA constitution, student course and teacher evaluations (SCATES), commuter problems undergraduate and advisement also received attention. Mr. Salimando urged members to come to the orientation sessions and work on the various Assembly committees. GIFT PACKS!

They can’t wait to get into the University,” said Margaret Nevin, director of the Adult Advisement section of the School of Continuing Education. Servicing adults in the Western New York and even Toronto areas, the Adult Advisement Center holds night classes in Millard Fillmore College. During personal sessions, which may last a few hours, Mrs. Nevin explores adults’ attitudes towards different aspects of their present job, extracting the appealing features and, if necessary, finding them a more desirable career. After this process is completed, courses are chosen that relate to the career the student pursues. Helping adults Last year, the Center helped over 500 “disillusioned” adults in career training, including a large enrollment of social workers, school teachers, and engineers. Records also show that two-thirds of the clients are women. Mrs. Nevin has also contacted many past University graduates who wish to return for further education. One student is presently attending a class in the same room where he learned Organic Chemistry in 1927. He sits in the same seat and has told Mrs. Nevin that “it still fits.” Hoping to fit conveniently into the University community, the center has established its office on Main Street and Allenhurst. By setting up this base, the Center will inform its adults about University happenings so they will feel a sense of belonging. WIRR expansion in jeopar Plans for the expansion of WIRR Radio to the North Campus are being jeopardized by financial difficulties with the Inter-Residence Council (IRC). WIRR is a four-year-old carrier-current station broadcasting to the Main Campus dormitories. They utilize free-format programming which features popular rock and roll music. Station personnel had hoped to expand their operations to accommodate the more than 2000 students now living in Governor's and Ellicott Complexes on the Amherst Campus. This expansion “IRC hasn’t FALL 1974 LIFE WORKSHOPS OFFERS THE FOLLOWING WORKSHOPS What?

Mr. Schwartz explained that the hassles began over a petition circulated by WIRR and signed by 900 students. The petition asked for student support for the station’s expansion to the North Campus. “We were told by IRC that ‘anyone will sign a petition, we don’t have to listen to petitions’,” Mr. Schwartz reported. “1 can’t believe a fourth of those people (who WIRR is presently based, is “almost nothing.” He was optimistic about upcoming Area Council elections, predicting that “whoever wins will support us.” At a recent WIRR staff meeting, alternative income measures were discussed. Sock hops were suggested as one possible source of supplemental funding. WIRR also hopes an upcoming meeting with IRC representatives will prove successful. Staff appointments and ideas for an up-to-date record library are being considered. Broadcasting time has been expanded from 8 a.m. to 2 a.m., and special secuirty measures have been set up to better insure WIRR property. A precise schedule time for a proposed on-the-air marathon has been put off until official word is received from IRC on the budget. “We’re still hoping to get out to Ellicott this semester,” Mr. Schwartz said, “because the feedback I’ve been getting is that people like the shows.” RA s discriminately sought In order to help dormitory students cope with the'problems of college life, University Housing each year assigns Resident Advisors (RA’s) to each dorm on campus. What is the job of an RA? “An RA should be able to help the student in any way he can,” said Eric Kramer, head resident of Goodyear Hall, adding that an RA’s job is to help students “promote personal growth.” The general areas of responsibility of the RA, Mr. Kramer noted, include helping to establish a conducive educational environment within the residence halls by assisting and advising groups and individual students on academic, social and personal matters. The various available personal RA should be able to refer students to the counseling and guidance opportunities on campus, as well as to attend to the safety of the residents of his floor or unit, according to Mr. Kramer. Complicated procedure “They (the RA) can only be as helpful as you will permit,” he said. Bill Conroy, assistant director of Housing for Research added: “The RA’s have to carry out roles as administrative assistants occasionally.” He did not see this as their primary role, however. Mr. Conroy also outlined the complicated procedure for becoming an RA. First, the applicant must solicit recommendations from students, teachers, or anyone else who can evaluate his or her interactions with people. The second step is a personal interview with a - . of money.” To assist dorm residents : Page four The Spectrum .

Unfortunately, we don’t have that kind station Too few Mr. Smith explained that only 200 students necessitates a cable hookup with the new dormitory listen at any one time to WIRR, as opposed to a beer facilities, which would require substantial additional blast, for instance, in which 1500 can participate at once. WIRR “is probably one of our lesser funding. WIRR did not service the Governor’s Residence activities,” he said.

He also criticizes the way WIRR convinced people to sign their petition. team of practicing RA’s. They judge the applicant on such things as percepfiveness, introversion versus extroversion, responsibility, commitment, initiative and willingness to learn. Finally, there is a six-week series of meetings with Head Residents and Residence Hall Directors to train the applicants and gain insight into their personalities. “The process is quite selective,” said Mr. Conroy. “Only one out of every six applicants gets the position,” or SO to 60 of the 360 applicants each year. The good and the bad No matter how good the screening process is, there will always be bad RA’s mixed in with the good ones, he admitted. There is, however, a system to check out the existing RA’s and weed out the bad ones. RA evaluation sheets are passed out to dorm students each year. Head Residents are also able to get an idea of the capabilities of each RA by soliciting responses from students who visit him or her. If your RA doesn't fit the description of the “model RA’’ described in this article, you should take steps to rectify the situation. Talk to your head resident, instruct your floor representative to bring it up at the next meeting, see Mr. Conroy at 125 Clement Hall. He welcomes “input from the students.” Remember, your RA is here to serve you. According to Mr. Conroy, “It is your moral obligation to the people on your floor to get your Ra involved.” �Economic forecast Wage-price controls / 1| I ■Wii seen for near future Lee Preston, an instructor in the School of Management, who served on the Council of Economic Advisors (CEA) during the Kennedy years, has-predicted that the upcoming economic summit meeting will produce a new “limited control, system” designed to slow down the rate of Lee Preston inflation. Dr. Preston said it was time for such a system to be implemented since controls work best when the economy is in a slowdown, as was the case during Phase II of the Nixon economic plan. “Every study of Phase II shows that it slowed inflation,” he explained. “Unfortunately,” added Dr. Preston, “it was scrapped when it was still working.” He cited the retarding effects the economic guidelines used during the Kennedy and Johnson years had on inflation. What went wrong? The reason that the various phases instituted by the Nixon administration didn’t work, according to Dr. Preston, was because “the people in charge of the system didn’t believe in it.” A conflict arose between high Washington officials, including President Nixon, Treasury Secretary George Schultz, and Herbert Stein, then ft"' ’ . J \Aw CEA chairman, and the people who actually ran the program, he explained. “Those at the top continually denounced the system, undermining its credibility, and in effect, repudiating it when more consistent support could have brought even more success,” said Dr. Preston. President Ford’s appointment of George McCracken to head CEA, “brings economists back to the top,” claimed Dr. Preston. He said that Herbert Stein was more of a “business oriented economist,” not quite the economic professional that McCracken or Wall Heller (CEA chairman under Kennedy) were. Dr. Preston anticipates the establishment of a monitoring committee and the adoption of a program similar to Phase II, heavy monitoring with light control. Wage controls may be a vital part of the new plan, he said, cautioning that to control wages we have to control prices. The control experience has been “favorable,” added Dr. Preston. “We must go back to it, and I think we will.” ‘d n)k jMu*y.i,,w - V /wgi|p^ \ ense f f 1 c by Glenn Englander Spectrum Staff Writer I Sf|lf /; ii ill budget ques oned Controversial B-l bomber opposed by Peace Center by Douglas A.

Opposition The Western New York Peace Center (WNYPC) group that is attempting to terminate the development of the B-l, calling it “a very expensive public works project for the aerospace industry.” The WNYPC, sponsored by the Riverside Salem United Church of Christ, has set up a task force headed by Walter Simpson to organize opposition to the B-l. The objectives of the task force are to stop development of the bomber, educate the public to the effects of the military-industrial complex, and shift federal fiscal priorities to peacetime pursuits. One of the key arguments against the B-l is its enormous price tag. The projected cost has escalated from $9.4 billion to $75 billion, in a recent estimate made in a Princeton University study. The expected cost in mid-1970 was set at $2 billion for research and development (R&D) and $7.4 billion for production. According to a report prepared for Sen. George McGovern (D., South Dakota) and Rep. John Seiberling (D., Ohio), this amount was deceptively low because it did not take inflation into consideration. The report added that ‘‘the B-l program cost is deceptive because it does not include is a costs.” Congress, however, made its first decision to the project on the basis fund of these underestimations. As of April, 1974, the Air Force estimate of R&D costs alone has risen 75 percent to $3.5 billion, while the estimated total cost has escalated from $9.4 to $15 billion. WNYPC claims that taxpayers in Erie and Niagara counties will pay $33 million per year for the next 10 years if the program is approved. Using the $50 billion estimated total, WNYPC estimates that every man, woman and child in the two counties will pay $250 toward “the most expensive weapons system ever.” Mr. Simpson thinks this money can be spent more wisely in humanitarian programs. Morality WNYPC is to confer with planning representatives from the Calspan Corporation to discuss on moral and humanistic grounds the merit of the laser beam research the firm is currently conducting. Calspan, according to the Peace Center, is working on a laser which can be used as an air-to-ground weapon. Dick Charlton, a spokesman for the corporation, declared, however, “I can officially inform you that Calspan is not developing a laser for the B-l.” But Mr. Charlton did acknowledge that Calspan is working on laser research under a contract with the Air Force. He called the project a “laboratory setup” which does not include research for either weapons or guidance systems. The prototype of the B-l was scheduled to be tested on September 29, but the flight has been postponed to a later date. WNYPC plans a ceremony near Buffalo City Hall at the time of the actual test flight. They are hopeful that the Common Council will urge Congress to stop work on the bomber. Buffalo Mayor Stanley Makowski has already called for a reordering of federal priorities away from military expenditure. In addition, a Forum of Human Needs will be at Canisius College on October 19. Fiscal priorities, the B-l bomber and all defense-related spending will be discussed. Area congressmen Thaddeus Dulski, Henry P. Smith, Jack Kemp and their electoral opponents are tentatively expected to attend. When the Military Authorization Bill came before the House of Representatives this summer, all three area congressmen voted in favor of spending another $500 million for continued research and development for the B-l, Congress is now only a year or two away from making a final decision on whether or not to fund the B-l and Mr. Simpson indicated that the more money Congress spends on research and development, the more likely they are to vote for full funding of the bomber. Anyone interested in participating in the fight against the B-l should contact Walter Simpson at 833-0213 and write your congressman. held Wednesday, 25 September 1974 Hie Spectrum Page five . . �DITORIAL Learning from Watergate Now that Richard Nixon will never stand trial, it is even more imperative that the American public be given the fullest disclosures of his crimes so it will have an acute sense of exactly what went astray at our highest level of government. It is simply not enough to blot the scandals from memory, as Gerald Ford and others have been urging. Watergate must be examined as both an extension of Nixon’s twisted mentality and a byproduct of campaign laws that allow large corporations to purchase elections and compromise the actions of Presidents. Since courtroom trials by nature tend to zero in on only the most narrow of facts, those which merely prove a person's guilt or innocence, a special commission should be empowered by Congress with broad authority to dissect the whole Watergate affair. This commission should be chartered to review and correlate all the volumes of material from the Ervin and House Judiciary Committees, and should have the power to call witnesses and compel testimony. Every person in this country should be given access to every scrap of Watergate-related evidence, even if it means allowing them to hear the Nixon tape-recordings. Then and *1 THINK WI TOOK A WRONG TURN TRB only then will we all have the ultimate account of what happened in the White House during the years Nixon was paranoically lashing out at anyone who had the audacity to be with "them" instead of "us." But that is only one small part of it. Knowing the "full story" of Watergate will be absolutely worthless if drastic measures are not taken to prevent such abuses from re-occuring. We have not heard a great deal about strict campaign finance laws since the day Nixon resigned, laws whose absence fomented much of Watergate. Certainly, the time is more than ripe for new regulations that would, if strictly enforced, eliminate the overwhelming disparity in financing that characterizes most elections. Instituting federal financing of election campaigns while outlawing private contributions would put out of business the sale of ambassadorships and virtually eliminate the granting of favors in return for contributions, indiscriminate quashing of the power of in short anti-trust suits, and price-fixing momey that really caused Watergate. Since Nixon's pardon, Congress has been deluged with bills or resolutions that would delay or void the deal under which the former President would assume control of the remaining Watergate tapes and documents. While it is clear that many legislators are anxious to get at the truth of Watergate and prevent future abuses of power, they will have to drastically revamp the present system of financing campaigns if any really positive change is to come out of the last two years. — — The Spectrum Arthur Schlesinger, Jr., has unexpectedly become a one-man sentry warning against the parliamentary system. He is an alert sentry. I find two articles by him in The Wall Street Journal,' another in The Washington Post and now one in The New Republic taking me to task. The warning comes at a sensitive moment as Nixon’s Imperial Presidency collapses, and as the same forces that keep American presidents out of touch with reality seem to be taking effect on decent, modest, light-weight Jerry Ford. The forces are latent in the process of making an idol of the American Priest-President, and then of pulling the idol off his pedistal. It is a cruel process. “The candidate for the presidency does well to recognize that he is running for a religious office,” says Michael Novak in his new book, Choosing Our King. And George Reedy in his splendid little study The Twilight of the Presidency (now in paperback) concludes that “some very fundamental changes are needed in the American political system” changes that might be adapted, he suggests, from the parliamentary system. We have seen five presidents in this century who have lost the capacity to govern Wilson, Hoover, Truman, Johnson and now Nixon. Will Mr. Ford be the next? He will, we fear, if he continues as he has started, unilaterally granting an unconditional pardon to Nixon, making him custodian of the tell taletale tapes, defending the CIA, in its plot to “destabilize” (destroy) the government of independent Chile, and failing to find a firm foothold as yet for dealing with the , — — economy.

Page six The Spectrum Wednesday, 25 September 1974 . . Leaders make mistakes abroad, too. Mr. Schlesinger spends much of his article warning that the British parliamentary system has its own faults. He deserves thanks for keeping the subject alive. We intended to say, and should have made more clear, that we don’t think the U.S. is going to go parliamentary overnight, least of all on the British system. Many U.S. political scientists have tunnel-vision and only see Britain or Europe if you suggest a change in governmental style; Canada is too big and close at hand to see. But England has a unitary system; Canada, like the U.S., has a federal system. And we guess that if Canada had had a scandal like Watergate it would have had an almost immediate vote of no confidence, an election, and it would have disposed of the matter in two months. Mr. Schlesinger makes the same arguments in several of his articles: the loss of a vote of confidence, for example, hasn’t overthrown a British government for half a century (a minority Labor government in 1924). We are sure he is right but it is also true that the loss of such a vote just last Spring in Canada (also a minority government) produced an election. The threat of an election is always present. To get rid of a King you kill him; to get rid of a president you impeach, or threaten to impeach, him. But to impeach you have to prove transgressions, whereas it is almost as serious for the nation to have an honorable president in the White House like Herbert Hoover who has lost his authority. Isn’t there some simpler system? Congressmen like Henry Reuss, Morris Udall and Edith Green want to initiate a presidential recall power in Congress. As Sen. Mondale said last June, “We should look carefully at those aspects of the Parliamentary system which can be creatively adapted to the American experience.” James Sunquist of Brookings, Charles M. Hardin of the University of Chicago, and other, agree. “Under our system,” observes Sundquist, “a Neville Chamberlain who sought to appease Hitler would stay in office for his full term, even if that meant losing a war and the very freedom of the nation.” Mr. Schlesinger says the celebrated question time in Parliament isn’t all that it is cracked up to be. We have heard Canadian friends, too, call it a “charade.” Yet we think that if a back bencher laid down a written question to Prime Minister Trudeau demanding, “Is Canada bombing Cambodia?,” and if Trudeau lied (as Nixon did), he would have been ousted almost instantly when the truth came out. We are not trying to make debaters’ points. We agree with Mr. Schlesinger that the parliamentary system is no panacea and that it may be a golden illusion for some idealists. Yet is has lessons that deserve study. One major advantage in Canada (and in other parliamentary systems) is the separation of head of government and head of state. The ceremonial head of state is Governor General Jules Leger, surrogate of the Queen (salary $50,000); the head of government is the secularized prime minister (salary around $35,000, plus perquisites) who has none of the symbolism, but all of power. Never underestimate symbols, however. Every American child is brought up to revere the presidential idol; he is as sacred as the flag; Nixon always wore a totem enameled flag in his lapel (thank God, Jerry doesn’t). If we had our way we would have some figurehead President, with a big salary and no power, live in the White House and sleep every night in the Lincoln bed and lay cornerstones and lead worship to the awe and vereration of the populace, and we would let some shrewd political leader from Congress head the government, answer opposition questions, consult his cabinet, and fight no confidence votes. We would secularize the Chief Executive. Congress in a year or two, we think, is going to go right back to the habit of handing over its problems to the president. All the pressure is in that direction. George Reedy says that he originally intended to end his book by working out “a system of parliamentary government for America.” He gave it up because he decided that such a change isn’t coming “without a revolution.” He agrees with Arthur Schlesinger on this. But for him the failure is extraordinarily dangerous; the system “isolates the man who holds the nation’s highest office and shields him from reality.” It can’t last. This former adviser to Lyndon Johnson gloomily predicts “a man on horseback In thia probably lies the twilight of the presidency.” With all respect to the optimists, I fear we have learned little from Watergate. If an American Fuehrer appears 50 years hence, some enterprising reporter will dig back in the files and remember that it all began in an administration dedicated to law and order, and that the precedent for imperial pardon was established to spare Richard Nixon a nervous breakdown. ’ „■ ... �There is something passing strange about being on your way out to harvest a country garden only to become enmeshed in a stadium-bound mass of traffic.

Some friends with extra garden space south of the city let us plant all our squash, and it seemed time to pick it. Which was our somewhat festive reason for being where we were. Why all those other people were there, 4 confess to * /ll*||ITl|'% I# wondering. It was perhaps the difference in the return trip that created a set of musings. We came back with an abundance of goodies, not only our own squash, but corn, beets and other odd vegetables. It was a goodly haul. Granted that the Bills lost, it still seemed as if the cars we began encountering around Orchard Park were not hauling anything of very much use. All may have been gloom because of the loss, but shouldn’t there be some element of enjoyment which lingers on after the last out, or final gun? The question, to at least some degree, seems to be involved with what to do with one’s spare time. The idea of sitting still for several hours to watch a football game is clearly absurd. While the idea of oh, lets say sitting still for even longer to watch the Grateful Dead, makes superb esthetic sense. Which would seem to hint that there are some individual differences at work here. It would be extraordinarily hard for me to pay the going price for a Bills ticket. Asked to pay the same price for the Grateful Dead, it is conceivable that I would grumble about high costs, etc. but I would do so \yhile standing in line to buy tickets. Relevance, relevance, all the worlds but a relevent. It is hard to make an accurate sociological survey of the people you are caught in a traffic jam with. The damned thing keeps ebbing and flowing, one lane spurting ahead only to stop dead as someone ducks into a miniscule hole a mile ahead. It is difficult not to come up with impressions though. Which is that there is a certain strangeness about the way people talk about Buffalo as a “sports town.” The image in my head is always somehow that of a steel worker, still grimy from the plant and still wearing his helmet and goggles, holding a bottle of beef in both hands and profanely cheering his team - — on. iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiniiillllllHlilHIllllHlIllllllllllllllllllllllllllin — Sunday, this seemed to be but another figment of my fertile imagination. Either all of the people who work in heavy industry now live in the suburbs, or else a whole new class of folks have taken up watching professional football. By dress and by car make and type these fellow jamites appeared to be solid middle folk on their way home to a place in some suburb or other. This makes some sense to me, when I recall the appearance of many of the fans who were screaming and beating on each other at the conclusion of the televised Wisconsin-Nebraska game on Saturday. The shots of the stands showed many shaggy looking people being ecstatic as they counted down the final seconds to the upset win by Wisconsin. I mean they looked like real people, but there they stood getting their kicks in the strangest of ways. Sports on television makes much more sense to me. I can sit there and play guitar or darn socks and get up and go to the bathroom or the cookie jar as whim or need move me. And there is not the incredible logistic problem of having to start out what, an hour? ahead of game time to get there on time, and then not getting back to wherever you started out from until much later than the game ends. It would seem very much to be one of those lost days like Thanksgiving, where the entire day is given up to a project, and at the end there is not Down at the bottom really any time for yourself. there is another problem of value, however. This is the gladiator syndrome, as I have just christened it. The whole enterprise of professional football is essentially based on the percept that people will pay money to see other people run into each other, fall on top of each other, and try to avoid being fallen on top of. There are enough odds and ends of weapons and tools of violent sorts around my house for odds and ends of weapons and tools of violent sorts around my house for me to be quite sure that a fair percentage of my nature does all right growling, snarling, and biting, But I am somehow stuck with feeling that bashing a nail into a garage door with a hammer is a more enjoyable pursuit than watching other people maim each other. — — From outside it is hard to ascertain that exact degree of difference involved in people paying large amounts of money to watch Evel Knievel flirt with death in his own way, or to wait with baited breath to see if O.J. Simpson will crawl out from under the latest pile of 275-pound linemen more or less in tact. It is necessary to get physically violent with the ground itself to initially make a garden than one gets to rip the weeds out. And at the end you have to break off or pull up the products of the plant. The result however is a car load of things to fill your stomach with, and even a bunch left over to get part way into the winter. As opposed to whatever it is in terms of memories, or energy, or Karma, that is left to be brought home from a football game. But then, if somebody did not pay for it, 1 wouldn’t have it for Sunday afternoon background noise, would 1? Have a good week, let’s go Bills, Braves and Sabres. (Certainly hope I didn’t leave anyone out!) iwdbaeli—— iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiniiiiiiiiiii Panic Theater auditions To the Editor. 18 and Thursday, Sept. 19, Theater held auditions for this semester’s production, “Kiss Me Kate.” However, we found that not enough males auditioned to conceivably present the show. Therefore, the following actions have been taken: First, “Kiss Me, Kate” was cancelled. Since we still want to present a musical comedy this semester, “Music Man” was adopted. The major reason for this choice was that we will be able to fill its cast. Second, another audition date has been set for Friday, Sept. 27, in 344 Norton. This date will be for those who either wanted to audition for Panic Wednesday, Sept. Panic Theater previously but were not able to, or for those who would like to be in “Music Man” but didn’t want to be in “Kiss Me, Kate.” Those who have already auditioned do not have to audition again. We will use the first set of auditions to cast “Music Man.” If you have not yet auditioned and you would like to be in “Music Man,” please audition Friday. You need no knowledge of the show, no prepared materia), nor any previous theater experience. By auditioning, our constitution guarantees you a place in the production. The Executive Committee of Panic Theater The Pete Hamill Column by Pete Hamill (c) 1974, The New York Post, Inc. “The first panacea for a mismanaged nation is the inflation of the currency; the second is war. Both bring a temporary prosperity; both bring permanent ruin. But both are the refuge of political and economic opportunists. ” -Ernest Hemingway, 1935, in Esquire “I don’t give a shit about the Italian lira. ” -Richard M. Nixon, 1973, in the Oval Office The latest round of inflation started in the swamps and jungles of Southeast Asia, where brave young men and women took up the gun to fight the U.S. to a standstill. They were armed with black pajamas, captured weapons and pride; the Americans fought them with the mightiest, most expensive war machine in history. The Viet Cong did not need trucks, planes, tanks or Cam Ranh Bay. The Americans did. But Lyndon Johnson refused to raise taxes to pay for his dirty little war; obsessed with macho politics, suspicious of the American people, unwilling to acknowledge his mistakes, Johnson paid for Vietnam by printing paper money. He took the silver content out of American coins. The dollar no longer promised to “pay to the bearer on demand” a certain amount of silver, and no longer does; there wasn’t enough silver. The Viet Cong fought on, and Johnson spent on, fighting to the last draftee; Nixon and Kissinger came in and did it some more. Today, the Viet Cong stand triumphant in the ruins of Wall Street. � • * There is more to it than that, of course; there always is. The roots of the current difficulties go back at least to the ’20s and ’30s; they might, as the Left has been saying for 100 years, be endemic to the capitalist system itself. We now see that Franklin Roosevelt never did solve the basic problems of the Great Depression; instead, he staved off any threat of domestic revolution and saved capitalism, at least for a while. The Depression finally ended with American entry into World War 11. And not the smallest motive behind the Cold War was to keep a war economy going as long as possible. “War and inflation are particularly old friends,” writes Robert Lekachman, Distinguished Professor of Economics at CUNY, in “Inflation: The Permanent Problem of Boom and Bust.” “Of human activities, wars are by far the most wasteful.” Those wars bring increased prosperity, of course, but as Lekachman points out; “At the same time, the warlike activities which generate the wages and salaries gobble up the raw materials which otherwise would be incorporated into the autos, appliances, furniture, processed foods, and other items for which people endure the tedium of routine labor.” Jerry Ford says that Americans must tighten their belts, but the military budget cannot be touched. That is one of the surest guarantees of continuing inflation, and a deepening depression. In addition to our garrisons at home and around the world, we are now spending $90 billion a year on military junk: bombs, tanks, jeeps, guns, bullets. Since we currently are at war with nobody, this situation is ludicrous. Old people are eating Alpo while generals fly around the country going to air shows. On top of the military budget (from which at least $25 billion must be cut, I’m told, if Ford expects any success at all), there are other problems. The drought in the Mid-west means that basic food prices are going to continue to escalate wildly for the next two years. The Arabs are not about to cut fuel prices to help the countries that plundered them for years. Ford will not roll back the milk prices that Nixon’s corruption increased by $700 million a year. He will not nationalize the oil and gas companies, to bring them under some control, and make their policies somehow coincide with the public good, instead of their lust for private profits. He will not nationalize the airlines, which are panhandling around Washington now for multimillion dollar handouts. He will not impose wage and price controls. So he is left with only one solution. To allow the whole mess to slide, giving the rich some temporary relief by lowering interest rates, and changing the laws on capital gains taxes. But at the same time, he will have to find ways to justify rising unemployment, human suffering, and the resulting panic. Meanwhile, as American citizens find their factories closing, and the lines growing longer at the welfare offices, Nixon will get his payoffs; the CIA will have money to overthrow freely elected governments, the oil companies will continue to fatten their profits. “This time next year,” a Wall Street broker told me yesterday, “we’ll be having food riots.” Anything could happen. Inflation after the French Revolution led to Napoleon. Inflation in the Weimar Republic led to Hitler. At the moment, we have reached only the familiar Depression stage of religious conmen, the current edition of which is the Rev. Moon. But there could be a real man on a white horse gearing up out in those boondocks, and for now, as we try our best to eat and get by, I hope someone is watching the Air Force.

And for the third year in a row, Buffalo was on the short end of the final tally, this time by a 4-3 margin. Buffalo’s goals were scored by Emmanuel Kulu, with two, and Jim Young, who had one. Kulu was the big story for the Bulls Saturday. One of the many foreign players out for the team this season, Emmanuel, as a freshman, is the only one not receiving any kind of tuition waiver from the school. (Until two years ago, all foreign students received tuition waivers.) Others, like senior Alex Torimiro and sophomores Jude Ndenge and Tony Alintah, qualify for the foreign student waiver under a new system which requires proof of both financial need and academic ability at the University. Can’t pay the players Head soccer coach Sal Esposito pinpointed the biggest problem he has in putting a squad together. “We’ve got the talent here,” states Esposito, “if we could only buy it. It’s that simple.” One of his squad members puts it another way. “I know a lot of guys who play soccer,” related Tony Alintah, a transfer from Northern Michigan (where there is no varsity soccer) and a native of Nigeria. “When they ask me if 1 get any aid for playing, and I tell them no, they just say ‘forget it’.” Alex Torimiro was one of the foreign players who quit the team last year over the tuition waiver issue. The foreign players, who aren’t able to qualify for the work-study program, must work in the afternoons and evenings to earn their tuition anh * board. Because this conflicts with their practice time, they aren’t able to go out for the team and stay in school at the same time. When tuition waivers for those who qualify returned, Torimiro, also returned. “Soccer is a potential quality sport here on campus,” states the senior halfback, “but you have to have some way to get the players out for the team.” The fact that the foreign students came out this year was a pleasant surprise for Esposito, who was hoping for, but not expecting, their presence. Last week, there was some question as to whether the foreign players would remain out for the team. This question was apparently terminated at the appearance of Torimiro, Kulu and others on the bus for the Syracuse game, and the appearance of Ndenge, last year’s second leading scorer, in practice Monday. Better but not perfect Torimiro thinks the situation is improved, but not rectified. “I think we should get some money, that they should create some scholarships for soccer,” he said. “The idea of the tuition waiver is - that you should contribute something to the school. We have some guys, like Emmanuel, who are contributing something to the school, but aren’t This week's Athlete of the Week award goes to soccer player Alex Torimiro whose hometown Victoria, Cameroon, Africa, is halfway around the world. A halfback, Alex played an outstanding game, controlling the action on both offense and defense in Buffalo's mud-ridden 4-3 loss to Syracuse. "I’ve been waiting three years to see him play like this," said assistant Bert Jacobsen. Statistic box getting anything.” Despite all the unused potential on campus, Esposito has uncovered enough of it to mold a potentially explosive season. The Bulls, minus starting goalie Frank Daddario (injured against Syracuse), face cross-town rival Buffalo State this afternoon, hoping to gain their first victory against the former soccer power. The Bengals are winless in two starts Soccer: at Syracuse September 21 Buffalo 12-3 \ Syracuse 3 1—4 Goalies: (B) Daddario, Petitmaire; (S) Strauss Buffalo goals: Kulu 2, Young. Syracuse - by David J. Rubin Staff Writer Two years ago, Jim McDonough became the head coach of Buffalo’s track and cross country teams. With virtually no experienced talent on the team, McDonough’s first season ended with a disastrous 1-10 record. Last year, the Bulls did a little better, compiling a 2-4 dual meet record. The Bulls aren’t exactly in contention for a national title, but McDonough has brought some respectability back to Buffalo track, largely due to spectacular performances of sophomore Eldred Stephens. McDonough says that two things lured him to Buffalo. First, the opportunity to become a head coach and earn a head coach’s salary (he had been an assistant at Kent State), and second, the chance to grow with the Amherst Campus. As it has turned out, this second attraction has become McDonough’s biggest setback. “1 was looking forward to the new campus as a means of college and promoting interscholastic track,” says the Bulls’ coach. However, the delays in building the planned field house on the Amherst Campus have stagnated this potential I) growth. “Now I’m stuck with that cinder track on Rotary Field for another five years,” McDonough complained. Despite the delays, poor record and the non-existence of scholarships, McDonough moves on. He has quickly earned a reputation as a supporter of local high school track and has started extensive recruiting in Western New York, particularly in Erie and Niagara counties. However, McDonough concedes, “We'll never get the ‘top-drawer athlete’ who gets a full scholarship.” On a happier note, he points out that there are many good athletes across the state who do not get scholarships who, he believes, can be attracted to Buffalo. Another of McDonough’s big projects is the altering of the Bulls’ schedules. Buffalo track often finds itself hopelessly trying to beat teams that offer full scholarships to runners. Since Buffalo has no scholarships, the Bulls are often outclassed by the richer schools. & resemble his own. In this way, he making the Bulls a more competitive team. “At Buffalo, my goal is to develop track and field that are programs well-rounded and competitive in that we have talent and depth in Coke - 50 Golf: September 20 - Buffalo individual Buffalo 380, Oswego 382 scores: Hirsch 72, Gallery 74, Busczynski 78, Scholl 78, Hegeman 78.

McDonough While would certainly not turn down a few scholarships if the opportunity arose, he has accepted the fact that he doesn’t have them and they are not in the works. He is looking forward to having willing athletes accepted to the University under relaxed admissions standards for athletes, a policy that started last year. Each team has a quota of students that can be accepted on their athletic merits if they meet specified standards that are somewhat lower than normal admission policy.

Some claim that the University cannot justify the four-course load to the State Division of the Budget, which is the body responsible for allocating funds to individual State University of New York (SUNY) campuses. ell l ‘Cheating’ These spokesman want to make certain the University cannot be accused of “cheating” in its credit-granting policy. Fiscal grants from Albany could suffer, they claim if it were believeved that the University was inflating its credit-hour grants. There is also a feeling on the part of some administrators that the University should establish clearer guidelines for assigning credit hours to courses, while maintaining a degree of flexibility as well. It is “the ability of the University to justify the forms and patterns of its academic programs and to do so in full confidence that what it in short, the issue of the integrity of the says is correct states a report on credit-granting that was written after University . . discussion among the Academic Affairs Council (AAC) and the Faculty-Senate Executive Committee. in ... Not considered A spokesman for the State Division of the Budget said Friday that while credit-hours do play a role in determining faculty and staff budgets, the budget division “does not formally take contact and credit hours into account.” He explained that each campus prepares its own course and section analyses, but that these are used mainly as a mean of internal evaluation and are not examined by the budget division. “The budget division does not get into that kind of detailed analysis," he said. “We just don’t have the staff capability to do it.” “The integrity of the University doesn’t turn on the credit and contact hours,” agreed Clifton Yearly, chairman of the History Department. “The administration had better prove what it’s talking about before it creates this non-problem,” he added. Better definitions However, George Hochfield, Faculty-Senate Chairman, said that President Ketter has indicated to the Faculty-Senate Executive Committee that the State Division of the Budget regards our system of assigning credits unfavorably. “The University is not only answerable to Albany, but to all sorts of accreditation bodies, who are usually traditionalist,” explained Walter Kunz, assistant dean of the Division of Undergraduate Education (DUE). Discussing the lack of specific guidelines for assigning credit hours Dr. Kunz said the “assignment of credit hours to courses is arbitrary at best. Since it is, why not establish a standard?” he said, defending the one-to-one credit-to-contact-hour ratio. “It would be a pretty big job because, theoretically, every course would have to be reevaluated, which would be impossible,” Dr. Kunz explained. He suggested, however, that any change in credit-granting policy be made a part of the DUE Curriculum Committee’s ongoing evaluation of courses and their content. Dr. Hochfield, though, indicated that he is “waiting to see in precise terms the consequences of adopting such a plan.” Credit granting Dr. Kunz, who is chairman of the Curriculum Committee, cited the difficulties faced in evaluating courses under the present credit-granting procedures, which he felt were ambiguous. Both Dr. Kunz and Dr. Hochfield emphasized that this was not a matter of the four-course load, but only of credit-granting policy. They also agreed on the arbitrary nature of assigning a certain number of credits to a particular course. “Personally, I think that the four-course load was a great idea, it being better to concentrate on four courses instead of five. For that matter, two done better than three or four would be great, too,” said Dr. Hochfield. He felt that the “notion that contact hours is the only way to learn is ridiculous,” noting that the total abandonment of contact hours would be ridiculous as well. “The idea that you’re going to better motivate people by giving them more time is just crazy,” Dr. Kunz asserted. Given the pressures the educational system brings to bear on a student, “it’s probably idealistic and wouldn’t work unless a student would have devoted more time (to study) under a five-course system anyway,” he said. Dr, Kunz would like to see the matter resolved soon, and said, “Let’s agree upon something, one way or another.” Dr. Hochfield did not know what would adequately resolve the issue, and said that the Executive Committee “has not received clear guidelines” on what to do. He reported that a Faculty-Senate subcommittee has been formed to study the matter. Councilmen study half-way houses after local complaints by Jenny Cheng Spectrum Staff Writer Two city councilmcn are investigating the establishment of half-way houses in Buffalo following the disclosure that several are being set up illegally. The probe began in early August, when Councilman Anthony Masiello received a complaint from Connie Messio. Ms. Messio claimed her mother was evicted from her apartment at 1935 Hertel Ave. because the landlord rented the building to an organization known as “Transitional Services”, which intended to use it as a drug addiction half-way facility. Ms. Messio’s complaint prompted Mr. Masiello and Councilman Bill Price to investigate the matter. Legally, any half-way institution, whether a relocation facility for prisoners, alcoholics or drug addicts, should receive City Council approval before its establishment. The half-way house at 1935 Hertel did not receive this approval, thereby making its existence illegal. Profit-making “Aside from this illegality,” explained Philip Beck, of Councilman Masiello’s office, “it was discovered that the landlord who rented the building to Transitional Services was also making tremendous profits on this particular deal.” Mrs. Messio’s apartment, which orginally cost $160 per month, was now being rented to “Transitional Services” for $225 per month. “Transitional Services,” is also renting 7 other apartment units, giving the landlord an additional $420 per month profit. “Compounding this profiteering,” Mr. Beck explained, “is the fact that the\ community is strongly opposed to the presence of a drug addiction half-way facility in this neighborhood.” The 1935 Hertel Ave. facility is located adjacent to Holy Angel’s High School, a grammar school, and a recreational park. “People don’t like the idea that drug users and ex-felons are living across the street from a girls’ school and a playground,” Mr. Beck added. Nor do they like the idea of being thrown out of their apartment to accommodate such a facility. Both Mr. Beck and Councilman Price agree that the best location for any half-way facility would be a commercial section, not a residential one. More complaints Since the investigation of the Hertel facility, the Councilmen have received similar complaints about half-way houses in several locations throughout Buffalo. “Landlords who are renting out two-family houses and small multiple housing to ‘Transitional Services,’ for the use of various half-way facilities of all natures, are earning gross profits,” Councilman Price pointed out. “All these half-way facilities are also being established without city approval, in a secretive manner,” Mr. Price explained. This ‘sneakiness’ is defeating the purpose of the half-way house, the success of which depends largely on the support of the community, he said. If the community is not well informed about the half-way house, Mr. Price added, rumors abound which only create resentment and fear. “This type of fearful atmosphere will not make it easy for those living at the half-way house to assimilate back into the community,” he asserted. Establish committee Councilman Price has proposed that the City Council set up a committee solely for the purpose of working with “Transitional Services”. This Committee will assist “Transitional Services” in finding appropriate locations for half-way facilities; will inform the neighborhood about all aspects of the half-way house before it is established; and will insure proper professional institutional staffing in the facility. At this moment, “Transitional Services” is not permitted to enter the building at 1935 Hertel Ave. until it receives City approval and educates the community about the activities of the half-way facility. The proposal to create the committee has not yet been approved by City Council President Delmar Mitchell but Councilmen Price and Masiello see no obstacles other than the recent cut-back of city funds for special committees. �‘No spooF Modern life styles in new soap opera by Ilene Dube Feature Editor The Day after Tomorrow may very well change the reputation of the soap opera. Labelled as “new morality” soap opera, the program, which will be shown by Act V this week in Haas Lounge, includes dope and love making scenes. These were not added for shock value, but to portray a contemporary life style to satisfy a contemporary audience, according to cameraman Ralph Bertini, who shot a large portion of the scenes. The Day After Tomorrow is not a spoof, nor is it intended to be satirical. The hilarity it gives its audience is a humor intrinsic to soap opera and nothing intentionally comical has been added, said Carl Ferraro, who plays Jude, one of the leading characters. Although “we had an awareness which is what we are laughing at,” during the taping “everyone was very serious about it,” Mr. Ferraro maintained. As an actor, he considers the experience an exercise in a commercial genre. Typically tangled triangles The thread of the story runs through a typically tangled web of love triangles, interwoven with extra marital affairs. The connection to campus life includes the courtship of Jude, a philosophy professor trying to gain his tenure, who goes through entanglements with both daughters of the one dean who can grant him tenure. Most of the cast was recruited from the Theater department, with a few exceptions. Ed Mellnik and Richard Fliegel, who wrote, produced, and directed the six episodes, also originated the idea. Neither of them had ever written anything like this before. The scripts they prepared were followed very closely without much improvisation. Mr. Bertini has been with Act V since the spring of 1973, when he 'first learned how to use video. He also does still photography, and while the two are very different in technique, he believes a knowledge of the camera is beneficial to video work. Nude love scene Mr. Bertini felt the love scene was one of the most difficult to shoot. The actors were actually naked during the performance, although blankets concealed most of their bodies. At first, recalls Mr. Bertini, they were particularly nervous about doing this take. A silk stocking was used over the lens, which helped them relax somewhat. Two different angles were shot of this scene, and the tapes were “blended”, or superimposed over each other, making the action illusory. (This self-imposed censorship renders the serial viewable to general audiences.) Important issues discussed The Student Association (SA) Executive Committee met in open session Thursday evening to discuss the upcoming SA Assembly meetings, the Student Course and Teacher Evaluation (SCATE) committee, and other important issues. Executive Vice-President Scott Salimondo reported that SA was presently developing an orientation committee that will better inform new and veteran Assembly members on the operations of the Student Assembly. Mr. Salimando indicated that the committee has prepared a series of workshops that will usually be held after the regular Assembly meetings. In the past, Mr. Salimando said he would hand the Assembly a piece of legislation and immediately tell the members to “vote on it.” At times, the members would not have enough background information to form a clear opinion on the bill. Mr. Salimando hopes the workshops will at least alleviate some of the confusion. Attendance is not mandatory, he said, but “I’d like to see everybody there.” Restructuring of SCATE Most of the scenes required an average of eight different takes, In another development, Mr. with one library scene requiring thirteen, Mr. Bertini said. Repeating Salimando told the Executive the taping so many times often put the cast under emotional duress, he Committee of the restructuring of admitted, but this helped them “shape their emotions” for the part. SCATE, the program responsible for distributing teacher evaluation forms to every student in each Crying saves scene undergraduate course offered by Carolyn Hiscox, a nursing student at this University, plays a the University. Mr. Salimando confidante to her pregnant sister, Pamella. During one of the scenes, admitted that past evaluation which was retaken many times, Ms. Hiscox broke out crying. After forms ahve not been too being consoled by the crew, she was finally able to control her “helpful” to the student. emotions for the scene, and the next take turned out to be the last. The problem, he said, was that Ms. Hiscox, who prefers dancing and singing to acting, felt the best prior evaluations only presented part of this experience was working with the rest of the crew. The crew statistics. Under a new fornjat, the had to be “friendly and tight,” Mr. Ferraro added, and those who could evaluations would offer not work so closely with others eventually left. Mr. Ferraro, who ordinarily works with theatre, appreciated the switch to video because of its permanance. “With video I can look back and analyze myself," he said. In theatre, an actor is dependent upon audience reaction, and becomes more concerned with meeting their standards than his own, he explained. Satisfaction of actor The Day After Tomorrow is not a soap opera revival, Mr. Ferraro maintained. Nor is soap opera one of his favorite genres. As an actor, however, he believes it is good to be versatile. Mr. Ferraro is generally satisfied with the production. Many of the technical difficulties, such as extraneous dialogue caused by shuffling equipment, and much of the bad acting, were good because they made it more “soap operaish”, Mr. Ferraro said. If the entire six episodes could be done again, he believes there would be a fifty percent improvement. Most of the problems that arose, he claims, were due to a lack of time and money. Sponsored by the University Bookstore, all six episodes will contain genuine commercials. Episode I will be shown at 2 and 4 P.M. in Haas Lounge on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday. Episodes-two through six will be shown at these times until October 30. Page two The Spectrum Monday, 23 September 1974 . . Ha!

Speakers Bureau Chairman Stan Morrow said that due to a shortage of funds to pay personnel, Campus Security has found it necessary to charge Speakers Bureau for their services during speakers programs. Instead of spending the additional money, Mr. Morrow is seeking alternative means of providing security for these events. such as fines, to punish shoplifters in the Norton Union Bookstore. The Bookstore is referring all its cases to the Student-Wide Judiciary which at present has only two courses of action asking the person to return the item he allegedly took, or suspension or expulsion. — Commuter communication Ad ad hoc committee for commuter students has been formed and will hold a meeting for commuters on Tuesday, September 24 at 3 p.m. Afternoon activities such as mixers, are being planned, but commuter input is needed, stressed Michele Smith, National Affairs Coordinator. Ms. Smith added that it may take a year to obtain lockers for commuters and that the check-room in Norton may be opened as an interim measure. Lockers are also needed for commuters who attend classes held at Ellicott, Howard Schapiro, Student Affairs Coordinator pointed out. Starting today, National Affairs will run a voter registration drive in Norton.

The children held banners, beat drums, and wore capes identifying themselves as members of the Day Care Center. Their adult supervisors led them in songs and chants describing the necessity of continuing day care facilities here. Last June, Sub-Board I decided not to fund Day Care, leaving a $29,000 gap in its current annual budget. Since then, the Day Care Center has been campaigning for support at all levels of the University. Supporters have been soliciting donations and handing out leaflets among the student body this week. “We have been providing low-cost, quality, parent-controlled child care to about 60 families a semester since 1970,” one leaflet notes. “Most of the people using the center have incomes below the poverty level; many are single women with children. The children are 2 to 6 years old. It’s a parent co-op; parents work at the Center to defray the cost of hiring more staff.” “The feeling among the student body,” according to Jan Crabtree, co-chairman of the Day Care Center Steering Committee, “is that kids are really important.” But, according to Executive Vice-President Albert Somit, “there’s no earthly way we can” fund day care. He explained that it is now much too late to procure from Albany the permission and funding for the day care program for the coming year. HAPPY HOUR The Tiffin Room mon-tues-wed-thurs-frl.

Special Features Editor The State University at Buffalo, unlike many other schools, has never been able to maintain a workable, consistent Student Course and Teacher Evaluation (SCATE) system. Marty Brooks, chairperson of the Student Association’s (SA) SCATE Committee, characterized past efforts as “one-shot deals that have been really bad.” He hopes to soon get the staff and facilities t» change that. Last year’s SCATE was a thick book with several hundred pages of statistics and a confusing method of organization. It was distributed to only a few locations and rarely consulted. “It was like a telephone book with the pages out of order,” said Mr. Brooks. Mr. Brooks has written to over 60 schools for copies of. and comments on. their SC ATE’s. Replies have come from as far as Manitoba, California, Colorado, Indiana and Illinois. From what he has seen so far, Mr. Brooks said the new SCATE will have three sections: subjective, objective and statistical. Course description The objective part, which Mr. Brooks said will be the first to be eliminated if funding problems develop, will consist of a course description, the teacher’s own opinion of the course and details on testing and grading. The subjective section should be prepared by departmental clubs, said Mr- Brooks. This would be consistent with SA’s recent emphasis on getting the academic clubs involved in student government. This section would include comments from students (to be verified by the departmental clubs) and general evaluations of the course and teacher.

Bison Foods Company, Buffalo, New York Problems Mr. Brooks anticipates problems, but he hopes to have the SCATE project “rolling by November” and ready by May, or September at the latest. If completed by May, the SCATE will be useful for students registering for next year’s courses. If completed by September, it will be available for dropping and adding courses. “Money is a big problem,” Mr. Brooks said. “We don’t have any.” He expects to get enough work done on the SCATE to convince the administration to fund it at least in part. Another problem is getting cooperation from teachers. Here, too, Mr. Brooks said administration support is necessary. Finally, staff help is crucial, particularly from students from all departments. The students are needed to compile and collate information and to contribute their knowledge of their own departments. Mr. B rooks plans to make the SCATE “cumulative.” He said the results from each semester would be used in the following semester’s SCATE to show trends in popular or required courses. Other groups besides SA will be asked to help prepare the SCATE, including the New York Public Interest Research Group (NYPIRG), the Student Association of the State University (SASU) and Millard Fillmore College. “We want this to be a student project, not a Student Association project,” Mr. Brooks said. ATTENTION- yourself in 355 Norton, 9—5, Mon.—Fri. N.Y. 14214. 831-4113 The final section would include statistical findings. But Mr. Brooks said he hoped to avoid the confusing array of medians, averages and modes and present only the raw scores that would be informative. This would include such information as size of class, numbers of majors and non-majors and grade distributions. 3mm Monday, 23 September 1974 The Spectrum Page three . . �1 ( Gallery 219 ‘Reflections’ display offers a peaceful, aesthetic experie Quiet. Peace and quiet. These are words usually foreign to the Buffalo experience. Right now those words have a depth of meaning surprising for a room in a busy student center. Reflections on White Noise, a visual creation by George and Marcia Kindler, is the current exhibition in Gallery 219. It offers the viewer a unique journey into the realm of art appreciation. Mr. Kindler described the piece as “an exercise in perceiving perception.” It is an opportunity for the viewer to come into total contact with the Gallery and his relation to it through the spartan use of a few ‘found’ objects whose surfaces compliment and contrast the surfaces naturally found in the Gallery. This mixture of optical textures leads to the contemplation of those surfaces, in a way similar to the study of Yantra-Diagrams found in some Eastern religions. The Yantra-Diagram is a method of redefining time and space through a coded picture. Meditating upon them is meant to reverse the act of Genesis, and allow the viewer to stare straight into the continuing act of creation. While this exhibit does not attempt to reveal anything quite that complex, it does accomplish something almost as astounding. It offers a period of quiet, relaxing involvement with the self amidst a bustling University community. Devices The Kindlers employ a projector (found in an alleyway), fourteen mirrors of assorted sizes and shapes (found in various antique stores and randomly placed around the room), a plastic lens concentricly placed in an alluminum hoop, through which a beam of light from the projector is shot, and five rubber mats strewn about the room, to allow the viewer to change his perspective on the environment by changing his physical relation to it. The mats are there to relax the viewer. Sitting on sprawling is better. To fully enjoy what is them is fine happening, one should become as comfortable as possible (try and forget that you are in an art gallery and all the pretension that goes with it). Once comfortable, look. At everything. Simple things become simply amazing. - The lens is hung from a string which al aluminum hoop to revolve independently of the lens spins, it accepts the white light and breaking the light into a rainbow that surface to surface, be it mirrored or painted Basic The multiplicity of the reality we demonstrated in simplified yet concrete that melt into and emerge from one’s con; becomes fascinated as the images twist and stretch, in space both real and reflected.

Hazy Despite the slight sloppiness in its maintenance (the lens and mirrors were quite dirty) and the mysterious absence of the music that was to accompany it. Reflections on White Noise is an interesting exhibition. However, students seem to be intimidated by the closed door of the gallery (knock on it!), or, if they do get inside, by the unusual nature of the show. If they can drop their fear of the different for just a moment, they will be richly —Jensen rewarded by a period of quiet enjoyment. The piece is peace. The lens, projector, mirrors, and mats are really beside the point. They are only a minor stimulus to an aesthetic experience; a door to the door, a point of departure. The major impetus toward the experience and the experience itself, the “art”, must reside within each viewer. Premiered on September ninth. Reflections on White Noise, is on display until September thirtieth. Sense it. Robert A. Degni Discount ticketsfor performing arts available Applications for “Arts Vouchers,” a series of discount ticket coupons for performing arts events in the Buffalo area, will be available in the Student Association (SA) office today. A student may purchase a book of five vouchers for $5, with a limit of two books per person. The voucher entitles the holder to attend a particular performance simply by making a reservation as he normally would. Tickets will be available for just about every performance of the member organizations (see listing), except where proceeds will go to charity. The voucher holder will always be given the best seats available, according to JoAnn Alison, coordinator of the Voucher Program (VP) at the Arts Development Services (ADS), the sponsoring organization. Apply today Students will be required to apply for the vouchers (in the SA office, 205 Norton Hall) and to enclose payment for one or two books. They can then expect to receive their vouchers within four weeks. Members will also receive a monthly calendar describing all the events at the participating organizations, including dates and times of performances. When the student has secured a reservation for a particular showing, he may exchange the voucher for a ticket at the theatre’s box office. The box office will then return the voucher to ADS, receiving a reimbursement of $2.50 for every voucher returned. The aim of the Arts Voucher Program is to “motivate untapped audiences, and provide opportunity to attend the arts by those who normally cannot afford the tickets.” Some of the groups which meet these criteria are teachers, municipal employees, senior citizens, clergymen, community service workers, maintenance employees, retired persons and students. A total of 40,000 vouchers, or 8,000 books will be available to the public. Helps theaters and theatergoers ADS hopes not only to motivate these “untapped audiences” but also to subsidize Page four The Spectrum Monday, 23 September 1974 . . performing arts organizations through the extra $1.50 ($2.50 reimbursement less $1 voucher cost) returned through the vouchers.

The state legislature, acting on the recommendations of the Law Revision Commission, approved S3 bills. One bill, which would have permitted persons 18 years of age or older to traffic in alcoholic beverages, was vetoed by Governor Wilson on the grounds that it would “not serve the overall public interest.” Special treatment continued A report from State Assemblyman John Daly (R.-Niagara County) indicates that no changes have been made that would “adversely affect the availability of federal financial assistance, [or] the special treatment that is now accorded persons between the ages of 18 and 21 years in the fields of criminal justice, education, labor, or social welfare.” The new legislation allows a person 18 or over to be a director of a corporation, lowers to 18 the age at which parental consent is not required for marriage, provides that married persons between 18 and 21 no longer need court approval to enter into a Delaware Park construction setfor coming Bicentenniel Plans to revamp Delaware Park were given added impetus last Tuesday when the Buffalo Common Council passed a $437,000 bond resolution to finance the operations. Mayor Stanley Makowski, a strong backer of the resolution, hoped improvements could be made by July, 1976. Delaware Park has been designated Buffalo’s Bicentennial Park. However, opposition to the earmarking of funds for one specific site as opposed to all city parks has made completion of the work by that target date doubtful. Chuck Rosenow of the City's Programming Division said that when the resolution wasn’t passed last July, the Council was informed that work could not begin until the summer of 1975. He is hopeful that at least some of the improvements will be finished in time for the Bicentennial celebrations. 3,000 seat amphitheater Planned improvements include the construction of a grassy, naturally-graded amphitheatre with a seating capacity of 3,000, the rebuilding of o-H8 yVpY \e\\e*2> *sp+>s \e- J\ \\pm pi c tsiiptstV s-jp-6 /CCA 1+ *P C m-' ve-t J\ s Up*I 3-* 4 <* tp <* USD) ‘'S'^S'vyB 'vp 6 pi* 6— 4 s M H 0 X 0 L c 58 Doat Street 894-6112 • • New Classes Starting every Monday J g Y Send for Free Brochure Licensed by New SLEE BEETHOVEN QUARTET CYCLE II Cleveland Quartet Tomorrow Sept. 24/8:30 pm Tuesday — Mary Seaton Room TICKETS: $1 students; $2 Kleinhans Hall - U/B fac/staff and alumni—- r.phase linear YOM KIPPUR 1974 Reform for A contemporary service Dress is informal BUFFALO BAR TRAINING Q S4.5 million over six years The $437,000 is only one-ninth of the overall S4.5 million planned for the Delaware Park improvements, in accordance with a master plan prepared by Building Services Inc., a local architectural and landscaping firm.

The service for the Ridge Lea campus this year is pitifully inadequate. There is an increase in student traffic to Ridge Lea while at the same time, the suffer with inadequate leg room on buses designed to accommodate high school students. To top offall the problems, the budgetary increase of $7000 probably doesn’t even cover losses through inflation. We, as students and faculty, have no alternative but to complain vigorously. The first place that complaints should be taken is to campus services, which is located at the Ridge Lea campus in 4230 C-l-D. (Good luck on getting out there and back . . . you may find hitchhiking more reliable.) If we get inadequate response there, it is an election year, and pressure on Albany may get results. Meanwhile, be sure to allow an hour between classes on the Main campus and Ridge Lea so you can get there on time. I agree wholeheartedly with David Tomkin’s remarks in a letter to The Spectrum about the charging of admission at the door of the film “Lucia” without advertising the fact to the University. But if the radical left takes a page from capitalism to make a buck with dishonest promotion, then why should we think that the so-called democratic majority should play ball fair and square. I attended a UUAB film committee meeting Monday and was outraged by what went on. The gist of the meeting was that nothing could be discussed unless the chairman approved. I witnessed the chairman telling his co-chairwoman to “shut up.” I heard the chairman evade a number of pointed questions from a very interested person about some act on the chairman’s part in threatening a Norton Hall ticket seller. I realized that cliques rule the roost, and the chairman had preselected every person for every available position with the committee which doesn’t have any by-laws in the first place. This was the first meeting, so I assume the appointees are friends of the chairman. I heard the chairman blame outside agencies for a number of promotion problems. And, to my unbelieving ears, heard the chairman say he was, if he chose to be “absolute dictator.” The rumors flying around campus about the UUAB film committee, both past and present members, are too numerous to touch upon. But if the ticket fiasco for the Marilyn Monroe retrospective is any example of the future for films on this campus, then I think we can kiss movies goodbye at UB as a viable entertainment and artistic form. This doesn’t mean students can’t run affairs with dispatch and maturity. It just means, to play around with Orwell, that all students arc created equal;some are a little less equal than others. The losers have won, and the University is paying the price. Peter Findly Page six TTie Spectrum Monday, 23 September 1974 . . �KflJUBVf F£et?f - QpmCK. mm , . I m. WT K(p.

HO. v ivo olp. „ X Help The fact that the UB Day Care Center is faced with the elimination of the sparse financial support it now receives is representative of the overall effort by the ruling class to keep the rapidly sinking capitalist economy afloat. The Spartacus Youth League supports the parents of the Center in their fight to maintain a child-care facility. Child care is a democratic right which is necessary not only to students but working-class parents as well, and is an important weapon in fighting the special oppression of women and minorities. The oppression of women in capitalist society stems from the role they are forced to play in the nuclear family and their lack of integration into the work force. While women’s oppression affects women from all social classes, it falls most heavily on working-class women. The fight for women’s liberation must be linked to the struggle of the working-class to create a socialist society where the basis can be laid for the elimination of the bourgeois family through the socialization of housework. Towards this end we demand free 24 hour child care facilities controlled by parents and staff and paid for by the state or employers. The UB Center should not be forced to rely on cooperative service, thus limiting its availability to working women, but should be adequately funded by the university and the state so that it can offer a free service with a full staff of professional help. The struggle for funding must be based on an understanding of the social nature of the problem. As the parents of the Day Care Center correctly pointed out: “We think all the student groups and services should get adequate financial support, not fight among themselves for a few crumbs.” Under capitalism, those crumbs are only grudgingly forthcoming and are quickly taken back when the bourgeoisie can no longer afford such “luxuries” as day care. The liberation of women, the extension of social services, and the productive use of labor are all tied to the fundamental transformation of society and the establishment of socialism. &>a<e- 60M3 10 It Social liberation Spartacus 1 rco In Friday’s issue of The Spectrum (Sept. 13), incorrect information was disseminated in the article concerning Bio 118-119. The article stated incorrectly that Bio 119 is required for Physical Therapy (PT) majors. The only courses which will fulfill the Biology requirement are either Biology 225, or 305 (Comparative Anatomy). 119 is an excellent preparatory for the above for those students with a poor Biology background. fro If students have any further questions concerning either the Biology requirement or any other requirements, they should call the Physical Therapy department at 831-3342 or come to 264 Winspear. They may also contact the Student Advisory Committee. The Chairman is Tim Speciale (839-2352). The students on this committee are very willing to help prospective majors with any problems. The PT Student Advisory Committee to ther ere by Garry Wills President Ford said in his press conference that he meant to continue a policy of openness and candor. But there was nothing very candid about his first answer on the CIA’s crusade against Chile’s deposed and murdered president, Salvador Allende. Ford first said our eight million dollars of CIA money was spent to “take certain actions in the intelligence field.” If Allende’s government had fallen, we would have heard about it, and it would not have cost us eight million dollars to hear about it. The aim was not to find out anything about Allende, but to do him in. Mr. Ford went on to half-admit this, all the while painting our actions in the guise of disinterested love for the free press. We spent money building up Allende’s foes in attacking him, all from a charitable desire “to help and assist the preservation of opposition newspapers and electronic media” a “free” press being, by definition, an anti-Allende press. So much for campaign spending reforms. The next time the government gets after big corporations for underwriting candidates, the officers of such corporations can just say they were being philanthropic and encouraging freedom of the press. (ITT did in fact offer the CIA an extra million dollars for the subversion of the Chilean government, but the CIA thought if would stick with the taxpayers’ money,) Then Mr. Ford made Dr. Kissinger’s distinction between our attacks on Allende and the coup that overturned him. We, he calimed, did not stage or run the coup. We are expected to take the government’s word for that, but various officers of our government also gave their word under oath that we were not financing the opposition, and now it turns out that we were. - Besides, even if we did not pick the specific deposers and equip them directly, our efforts to “de-stabilize” the regime were meant to bring about a crisis leading to Allende’s downfall and a coup was one of the likelier outcomes of this process, if not the very most likely one. It is not only less than candid, it is disgraceful, to pretend we are protecting another people’s liberties when we undermine their economy to “prove” that Communism is bad for them. If Communism were so self-evidently bad, we would not need to help it along in proving its disastrous effects. And we would not have to lie to each other in the process. Mr. Ford’s first answer did not satisfy, so the question was raised again and then he did approach candor on the subject, saying he would not quibble about whether the subversion of other peoples’ governments is “permitted or authorized under international law.” It is “recognized fact” that other governments do it, so we will do it too, for our own best interests. And international law be damned. Mr. William Buckley, once a CIA agent himself, defends the Chile operation by saying that such acts are what the CIA exists for. He is right. And that is why the CIA should cease to exist. It breaks the laws of every country it operates in, beginning with our own and makes any pretense to international morality simply ludicrous on our part. Through the CIA we proclaim a licensed thuggery to all the world. We got along for a century and a half without an international secret police force; and it is only after we learned to live with one that we started toying with the idea of a domestic secret police plan. The development is not accidental. We had to be conditioned to our various Howard Hunts. We had to deserve them before we got them. Now we better deserve to be rid of them, and all their ilk, and all their works. — - - Name withheld upon request Monday, 23 September 1974 . The Spectrum .

They had not moved for several minutes. To the right, two others were engaged in the same pasttime. But their hands were a blur of motion, moving their pieces in an attempt to beat the five-minute limit they had agreed upon. This scene, occurring at chess clubs throughout the world, depicts the two very popular ways to play chess. Some were first introduced to chess in childhood by parents seeking a harmless way for their child to exercise his mind. Others became involved when Bobby Fischer and Boris Spassky clashed for the World’s Championship at Reykjevik, Iceland in 1972. Chess remains a hobby for about 60,000 people in the United States, an occasional thing to do for millions more, and for a very few, a vocation or a business. But, can chess be considered a sport? Or is it merely a game? Or continued Dr. Thomas. “The difference is that sport is motion over a large distance. It has spatial dimensions that some games don’t have.” Alan Fenster, “professor of chess” at this University, disagreed. “It’s a sport by default. No clear distinction can be drawn.” Although Mr. Fenster was not specifically referring to Dr, Thomas’ definition, he did point out a flaw. What is the point which something ceases to become sport and becomes just a game? Any such limit would have to be arbitrary, thereby making the distinction arbitrary. at Media disagreement Indeed, even the nation’s media cannot agree on the matter. The Sporting News, one of the country’s foremost sports periodicals, refused to cover the Fischer-Spassky battle. Sports Illustrated, the nation’s other leading sports weekly, did provide coverage. ABC’s Wide World of Sports hired Grandmaster Larry Evans to do commentary on the both? Definitional efforts differ Opinions on what exactly constitutes a game, and what constitutes a sport. Carolyn Thomas, who teaches Physical Education and has a degree in Philosophy, attempted to define the two terms. "Game is usually implied in the concept of sport, although some sports are not necessarily games,” said Dr. Thomas,, citing fishing as an example. “Inherent in both game and sport is the element of competition against others, yourself or a score,” she added. — “Not all games are sports. They have most of the same elements,” match. (Except for World Champion, Grandmaster is the highest chess title one can attain.) Most of the nation’s newspapers do not include chess columns in the sports section; instead it is placed with a bridge column in what might be considered a “games section.” Chess, as Dr. Thomas noted, does have some elements of sport. Coordination is required,, especially if one plays five-minute chess, which is an excellent way to improve one’s skills. Even in regular competition, merely by touching a piece accidentally, one can be forced to move that piece. This has occurred in Master competition and usually leads to a loss. Competition is fierce in chess. Edmar Mednis, in Chess Life and Review described the competition in the Los Angeles International Tournament in April. “The winner was the favorite, famous Grandmaster Svetozar Gligerie. It did not come easy but his great class and fighting spirit did tell in the end. His ulterior reason for aiming for IVi points was interesting; it wasn’t the money or placing that concerned him so much, but the prospect of losing FIDE rating points!” (FIDE points are a statistical representation of one’s playing strength.) It is easy to see how closely this very aggressively competitive psychology resembles the motivation in most sports. at least Fischer; No mercy As in other forms of competition, exploiting your adversary’s weaknesses is important in chess. In one famous then World game between Champion Emanuel Lasker and future champion Jose Capablanca, the latter spotted a weakness in Lasker’s 17th move. Using only this weakness as the cornerstone of his attack. Capablanca achieved a victory 51 moves later! Fischer’s maxim, “In top-flight chess, you have to drive your advantage home unmercifully,” held true then as it does now. One common requisite for chess players and athletes is physical stamina. Spassky, in training for one match, ran cross country every morning and followed it with a session of yoga. The average chess player may expend more energy in one game than the average football player. Nor does chess underestimate pre-game preparation. Any football player knows what the other team is likely to do in a certain situation. Chess players, too, have preferences, especially in the opening, and if one knows who one’s opponent will be, preparation can be very important — many times it can mean the difference between winning, losing or drawing. Well rounded “Practice still helps,” said Dennis Doren, a top local player. “You have to know the subtleties of playing a certain position, just like in baseball or football.” He added that a chess player must know how to handle all positions. Opening theory is vastly different than end game theory. A baseball player can go through his entire career and just know how to play one position. In this respect, chess could be considered on a higher level of competition than most sports. “Some people would argue that any sport is superior (to chess)” countered Dr. Thomas, “because it demands more of the physical dimension, as well as the mental.” Like other board games, chess puts no premium on physical stature, nor does a high degree of intelligence necessarily lay the foundation for excellence in chess. Gilbert Cant, in Time Magazine, wrote “It (chess) is truly egalitarian in that social status or wealth or brawn can confer no advantage. Neither can a high IQ. In fact, a New Jersey psychiatrist-chess player, Dr. Henry A. Davidson, has applied the theory of the idiot savant to chess and concludes that it would be possible for a blockhead to excel in the game, but adds tersely: ‘He usually doesn’t’.” Problem: recruitment Soccer program called promising by Dave Hnath Contributing Editor Editor's note: This is the first of a three part series concerning three Buffalo coaches who have been with the University for only one or two years. Sal Esposito (Soccer), Jim McDonough (Track and Cross Country) and Leo Richardson (Basketball). All three took their jobs under less than ideal conditions. The Soccer program was just starting. Jim McDonough inherited only one talented runner and the basketball team, after losing four of five starters, was entering a year of rebuilding. The three coaches were interviewed to determine what they had expected when they took their jobs and what they have actually experienced. Dr. Sal Esposito took over the varsity soccer team last year, just one season after the team achieved varsity status. After a very promising first year of play, last season’s 5—5-1 record was disappointing. However, this year the team IS, in Esposito’s own words, “a potential powerhouse Esposito claims that he had some misconceptions when he first took the job. “I thought that the students were behind sports. I thought that there were people here that supported the program. It was my impression that since football wasn’t being played here the monies could be used to support the other programs and that soccer was one of them.” < Money problems The second year soccer mentor views the budget as his biggest problem. “I thought they wanted quality sports here,” Esposito said, “but you can’t have quality sports unless you pay for it. We took one trip last year that took 25% of our budget. If they give me $4,000 like they did last year and expect me to run a twelve game schedule, they’re great pretenders. Even with the increase they gave me this year, with costs being up and this being our year to travel, the increase amounts to nothing.” Esposito claims that a major problem last year was the lack of players. Only 17 students came out for the team. “We didn’t have enough players for a full field scrimmage,” he explained. “You can’t run a quality program with 17 players.” This year’s roster lists 31 players; some of the newcomers are foreign exchange students who have competed for years. Unlike many of the University’s other coaches, Esposito’s prime concern in recruiting is not getting players into school, but rather getting the talented players already in school out for the team. “We’ve got tremendous potential on our campus,” Esposito said. This talent was demonstrated by the students who played in the Buffalo Soccer League this past summer for the Black Stars and Germanians, the two teams that lead the league. Year without waivers “The big problem last year,” Esposito continued, “was that the foreign students did not get tuition waivers like they did the year before. Consequently they had to work to stay in school, and they didn’t stay out for soccer.” A new system has restored tuition waivers to those themselves exchange students who have proved —Hna academically and have demonstrated financial need. The result is that foreign students have joined up: Hans Zimmerman of Germany and Emmanuel Kulu from Cameroon have been particularly impressive. Monday, 23 September 1974 The Spectrum .

The Possibility of offering “one credit hour for one contact hour of course work” or establishing a flexible system of courses, worth varied numbers of credits, has been under scrutiny by the Faculty-Senate and Academic Affairs Council (AAC) for the past year and a half. In the Spring of 1973, the AAC claimed that the four-course load had led to a sharp decline in education as measured by Graduate Record Examination (GRE) scores, and recommended a return to the five-course load system practiced at the University before 1969. A Faculty-Senate subcommittee subsequently studied the matter and decided that May that the four-course load should not be changed because it had not resulted in “a significant decline in the breadth or quality of the BA degree.” — — Flexible system However, the subcommittee did suggest that each academic department study its curriculum to determine the feasibility of adopting a flexible system of granting credits for varies courses. No further action was taken until last January, when the AAC again recommended a return to the system of granting one credit for one contact hour. The AAC’s renewed suggestion to return to the five-course load took into account the surveys conducted by various departments heads and provosts among their constituents to determine their feelings on the current four-course load system. After studying the AAC proposal, the Faculty—Senate Executive Committee issued a statement to the full Senate urging that “the current four-course load pattern be maintained,” but qualified its request by suggesting that the AAC develop a mechanism whereby each department coutd carefuDy analyze its offerings “to be certain that students are provided a reasonable and intellectually honest education.” Robert Ketter felt the However, President 20 September 1974 series of meetings that extended into mid—June, a report outlining the arguments for and against the four-course four-credit system was drafted by William Baumer, assistant vice-president for Academic Affairs and Piere Hart, professor of Germanic and Slavic Studies, and distributed to members of the Executive Committee. Variety of factors This “draft document,” which was the basis for this most recent decision to charter a subcommittee to re-evaluate the four-course load, explores the issue of credit vs. contact hours in terms of various external and internal factors. On the one hand, states the report, “is the ability of the University to justify the forms and patterns of its academic programs and to do so in full confidence that what it says is correct in short, the issue of the here.” of the integrity University The internal considerations affecting the issue of credits and contact hours “are more numerous and complicated.” One such concern i§ for providing clear-cut guidelines for assigning credit hours to courses so that “all involved are aware of and understand the operation of this system.” A second but equally-important factor, according to the Baumer-Hart report, “is the maintenance of as much course flexibility as can be achieved. “If it is supposed that instruction and education can occur only during the time that faculty and students are face to face in the classroom, then a very significant rigidity is involved in the total system,” the report continues. It would thus seem desirable that there be some “bases” for allocating credit for study and learning in formats “other than the standard arrangement.” ... Faculty-Senate had “circumvented the problem” and subsequently called on the academic departments to determine whether their courses were receiving the appropriate number of credits. Dr. Ketter was especially concerned that State University of New York (SUNY) central administration would take into account the fact that faculty were meeting the same number of courses for fewer hours per week under the four-course load, thus weakening the University’s claim for more resources and faculty. He emphasized that he needed a defensible system of credit granting, “something I can fight for” at budget time. Dr. Ketter also stressed that it was not a question of four courses “as opposed to five courses”, but a matter of “how many credits (each course was] worth and why.” Towards the end of the Spring ’74 semester, a subcommittee of representatives from both the Executive Committee and AAC met several times to further explore the relationship between credit and contact hours. After a Dual system One prosposal being considered which addresses both internal and external factors is Undergraduate Dean Charles Ebert’s suggestion that lower divison dourses(100 and 200 level) provide no more than one credit hour for each class contact hour. At the upper division, courses that do not have prerequisites would also offer one credit per contact hour, while those courses that do involve prerequisites of this sort “would be accepted if they are scheduled for three contact hours but have a value of four credit hours.” According to the Hart-Baumer repprt, the, Ebert proposal provides a partial resolution of the question of flexibility, as well as some basis for justifying what iwly be alleged to be inflation of the credit hour values of the University.” SA making academics one of top priority goals by Clem Colucci Special Features Editor “It’s a beginning,” said Student Association (SA) President Frank Jackalone after a meeting Tuesday evening with representatives of academic clubs. The meeting attempted to bring the academic clubs into student government. SA wants to move away from its current service and activities orientation and become more active in influencing academic policy at this University. “Academics should be one of our top priority goals,” but SA has concentrated most of its efforts on activities, explained Academic Affairs Coordinator Mark Humm. This, he said, is a mistake. “If this was a camp or something it’d be different, but this is a university.” Log-rolling By involving the academic clubs in student government, SA builds a “larger political base,” and gains the prestige and power to act effectively on academic issues, Mr. Humm said. SA would also gain a pool of volunteers to work on Student Course and Teacher Evaluations (SCATE), peer-group advisement, career information affairs and social activities. Executive Vice President Scott Salimando added that the presence of academic clubs in the Student Assembly would give that body credibility and expertise. “Without them (the academic clubs) we work in a vacuum,” Mr. Salimando said. Mr. Jackalone stressed the necessity of making academic groups a vital part of SA. “The only way for students at this University to gain influence over academic issues is by organizing at a grass-roots level via the departments,” he said. As Assembly members, the representatives of academic clubs could join Mr. Humm’s Academic Affairs Committee and work on various academic problems. Mr. Humm cited the recent registration problems with Biology 119 as an example of the difficulties caused by uncoordinated efforts of SA and the Undergraduate Biology Association, which duplicated each (jfdfcr’s actions in dealing . v-. mi Jackalone Frank with the problem As a result, little was accomplished. Getting one’s own But the benefits don’t all go to SA, Mr. Humm explained. By organizing themselves and getting into student government, the •• £ '■» $£.'£71 ■ m V7 ’ X ■* V-f'» -vj Mark Human academic clubs can receive additional funds. Since money is scarce, this year the clubs must group themselves according to similar interests to get more money collectively than single clubs would, Mr. Humm said. continued on page 22— �Election symposium Local Assembly candidates discuss University system Sparky Alzamora Campus Editor Western New York candidates vying for seats on the New York State Legislature appeared in Norton Hall’s Haas Lounge Tuesday as part of the Speaker’s Bureau Election Symposium ’74. Among the speakers featured were Republican incumbent Assemblymen John Daley, Dale Volker and Albert Hausbeck, State Senator James McFarland and Democrat Darrel Izard, who is seeking the Assembly post in the 140th District. After each candidate briefly stated his qualifications and prior activity in the Slate Legislature, the floor was opened to questions. The first concerned the rumored $400 increase in tuition next year for all schools in the State University system. admissions board “was to get the best potential medical school student." Western New York students currently comprise 10% of the enrollment in each professional school. Mr. McFarland stressed that if the Board of Regents made recommendations to allow for the expansion of facilities here, a greater t>ody of Western New York students would be accepted to the professional schools. Help private schools Mr. McFarland indicated that there was no proposal to increase tuition in state schools and that money would instead be channeled into the Tui t ion Assistance Program (TAP) for those unable to afford a private institution education. “We’re trying to equalize educational opportunities to this extent,” Mr. McFarland said. Mr. Daley agreed that high costs were forcing people into public institutions. Private schools are facing severe financial difficulties, while crowded state-supported schools were rapidly running out of room and facilities, hf explained. To increase enrollment in at least some of New York’s 70 private schools, the legislature has devised the Bundy Aid Program which apportions $55 million in grants and scholarships. This is further supplemented with $44 million from the TAP. Mr. Volker contended there might be a swamped by a tremendous number of bills, “good bills will get shuffled along with trivial bills,” Mr. Izard warned. Another reform he hopes to accomplish is a restructering of the absentee vote. As it stands, an absentee vote is automatically recorded in the affirmative; Mr. Izard argued that it should also be considered a negative vote, if the legislator specifies his opinion beforehand. Better than California —Jensen tuition increase if “the private colleges in the state collapse.” If that should ever come about, he said, an increase in both state taxes and tuition would be inevitable. No preference “Should the professional schools at the State University at Buffalo give preference in admissions to Western New York Students? asked one student. Mr. McFarland replied that the University had the right to restrict admission to New York State residents, since this institution is supported by state taxes. However, he said the duty of the [Medical School] Flood of bills The candidates next addressed themselves to the workings of the state legislature. Among the 16,000 bills fded yearly in the legislature, less than 10% of the bills are considered and brought to a vote, Mr. Hausback explained. Although the legislature meets just twice a week, each legislator considered it a “full-time job.’ I Mr. Izard favored far-reaching legislative reforms because “we need changes to make procedure more efficient.” In addition to having a more orderly processing of bills, every bill should be brought out for open debate, he maintained. If the legislature continues to be - Mr. Volker said while the New York State Legislature was far from perfect, it was still the least expensive government of all the larger states. Citizens of California pay exhorbitant taxes to finance a legislature which has not convened in three years, he claimed. The California State Legislature has been bogged down by so many bills, that it has been rendered largely ineffective, Mr. Volker added. Regarding the recent salary increase for legislators, Mr. McFarland felt it was necessary for them to supplement the income earned from their other professions and businesses. The cost of hiring a working staff and additional expenses perpetuated this increase. NYPIRG to conduct array of studies John A. Fink Spectrum Staff Writer Consolidation with other Public Interest Research Groups in he state has given the Buffalo chapter of the New York Public Interest Research Group (NYPIRG) a shot in the arm in its growth and development. Last week marked the first anniversary of the merger of the independent units in Buffalo, Albany, Syracuse, Queens, the central Binghamton, and office in New York City, which now operate as one statewide unit. Added leverage Richard Sokolow noted the benefits of the merger. “The advantages (the this consolidation] has given us is that we now have leverage throughout the state. It gives us added strength in state and federal courts,” he said. NYPIRG is a student-run, non-profit, non-partisan research and advocacy organization with particular interest in consumerism, legislation, equal rights and The government environmental protection. chapters began separate about three years ago in the wake of a cross-state speaking tour by Ralph Nader, the Although consumer-advocate. the now operates Nader-inspired, NYPIRG independently.

A previous attempt was defeated earlier this the Erie County by year Legislature. Now, NYPIRG is lobbying in Albany to obtain a statewide ban. Exhaustive profile Dangerous fuels studied good A example . the study and profile of all the members of the New York State Legislature, released September 4. The year-long effort. The NYPIRG Legislative Profile is a concise portrait of each of the 147 members of the Assembly and 58 members of the Senate. Each profile contains Project , campaign financing, vohing records, and the legislator’s views on a dozen vital issues. Mr. Sokolow said that a study of this nature, the first statewide effort of the YPIRG researchers, has never been conducted before. Some 200 students, 20 from NYPIRG in Buffalo, undertook the study. Other past efforts of NYPIRG in Buffalo have included a survey of unsafe children’s toys, comparative food and drug pricing surveys, a study of the proposed Buffalo Rapid Transit System, and a study of pharmacist information on incompetence. This year, the NYPIRG in Buffalo will conduct a profile study of the members of the Buffalo Common Council. There will also be a renewed effort to promote he banning of Page two The Spectrum Friday, 20 September 1974 . of advantages of NYPIRG unity is the completion of an exhaustive study of the of dangerous nuclear fuels and the dangerous effects of nuclear power plants is being made in conjunction with the Sierra Club, an environmental In addition, a transportation protection organization. When a study is completed on a project, NYPIRG formulates and advocates changes in the area researched. These changes involve introducing legislation, instituting lawsuits, or, in general, simply informing the public. Locally, NYPIRG is funded entirely by students. Additional funds come from the group’s headquarters in New York City and from private donations. With relation to budget size, NYPIRG is the largest of Public Interest Research Groups (PIRGs). There are PIRGs in 18 other states, similar to NYPIRG and all run by students. Mr. Sokolow said that the budget from NYPIRG this year should be about $250,000. Chances are good that an additional $120,000 may be received from Brooklyn College, he said. Qualified volunteers Mr. Sokolow also noted that volunteers for NYPIRG this year are more qualified for their work than workers in past years, , Commenhing on the better quality of work, he said “a small number of people can have a large impact on society if they know where to apply the right leverage points.” He also said most of the volunteers receive no academic credit from the university for their work, and none receive any financial benefit. Response from students in the form of participation in projects has been good. Mr. Sokolow attributed this to the sophistication of the work NYPIRG does. “With professional help we know how to make a study so that it sticks,” he said. Mr. Sokolow feels that there has been a “snowball effect” on NYPIRG enrollment by people with a genuine interest in helping society, the community and the University. If you have an idea for a project, or if you just want to help, go to Room 3 1 1 in Norton and talk to the people from NYPIRG. TIPPY'S MEXICAN FOODS 60 Oz.

The suit, filed with Treasury-Secretary William Simon, asks that the government terminate revenue sharing assistance unless “the city takes immediate affirmative action to end the racially and sexually discriminatory practices associated with its Police and Fire Departments. Discriminatory practices The New York Civil Liberties Union, serving as counsel in the action, charges that the specific discriminatory practices of those departments include the failure or refusal to recruit and hire Blacks and persons of Puerto Rican origin on an equal basis with others. The suit also cites hiring practices that have discriminated against women. The NYCLU has also accused the city of failing or refusing to establish valid qualifications and standards which are sufficiently objective to prevent continued Complaints include police and fireman Among the suit’s complainants are BUILD, the NAACP, The National Organization of Women, the Western New York Peace Center, Assemblyman Arthur O. Eve, Theodore Kirkland and James Gians of the Buffalo Police Dept., and Donald Summers of the Fire Department. The suit names Mayor Stanley Makowski, the police and fire commissioners, and several Civil Service personnel directors as respondents. According to Killian Vetter, executive secretary of the local NYCLU chapter, the suit is not designed to close City Hall. He likens it instead to the withholding of federal funds from segregated school districts as a means of forcing reform. Repayment of S17 million Should the city fail to correct the practices alleged in the suit, complaintants will seek the cessation of future revenue sharing and try to force the repayment of $17 million that had been allocated by Buffalo to its Police and Mayor Makowski Fire Departments. Thomas Kobus, counsel to Mayor Makowski, has noted in the city’s defense that “the New York State Constitution and State Civil Service Laws constrain the city” in its hiring practices. He added that the city will contest the cuit and that the proper respondent for such a suit is the State of New York, since the city only follows state hiring guidelines.

The Blood Assurance program, under the auspices of the Buffalo Chapter of the American Red Cross, makes for any member of the it possible University community and his direct by Amy Dunkin Managing Editor Because a healthy mind only functions in a healthy body, the State University at Buffalo offers a wide range of health services designed to meet the particular needs and budgets of students. These health services were created to wipe out the notion that “what a student can afford to pay and what the service costs is usually out of alignment, according to A1 Campagna, director of Sub Board’s Health Care Division, Mr. Campagna said that while the majority of student illnesses are “acute” (of short duration), if they remain untreated, they can become quite serious. “Strep throat could develop into rheumatic fever which could develop into heart disease,” he commented. The University thus allows students to attend to their health needs at a price they can afford. Funding set Mr. Campagna does not anticipate any problems funding the Sub-Board sponsored health facilities this year, all of which are income-offset. “We were told at the last State University of N("’Ew York (SUN't Board of Trustees meeting that expenditures of student mandatory lees for the provision of health services to students could reasonably be assumed to fall within existing mandatory fee guidelines,” he said. However, he feels the chances of obtaining additional funds from the State for the Michael Hall facility are practically “nil1.” “The State doesn’t feel one of its dutiies should be the provision of health family to receive an unlimited blood supply free of charge anywhere in the U.S. and Canada.

A starting physical therapist can expect to earn an annual salary of from $9500 to $13,000.

While the starting incomes vary geographically, the inexperienced graduate can expect a starting salary between $8600 and $10,500 annually. The number of practicing physicians has increased by nearly a third in the last ten years. During this same time enrollment in medical schools has doubled.

Improving safety CardAccess Plan for dorms to assist in crime curb New by Kim Weiss Staff Writer Young thieves Spectrum Another aggravation for Security is bicycle thefts. A stolen bike is a common occurrence, and the offender is usually an area youngster. A new safeguard against this has been the issuance of a University license registration card and plate. The plate is applied on a visible portion of the bike, and serves to aid in identifying the bike at the Student Association (SA) Parking Compound. If a “suspicious-looking” person (a young child or someone who doesn’t look like a student) was seen riding a Within the past year, Campus Security has formulated a number of programs' designed to curb crime on the University grounds. One of these, the Card Access Plan, will probably have the most influence in reducing robbery and vandalism in both dorms and academic buildings. It is presently being tried out at MacDonald Hall. The regulation requires students to present ID cards before entering a dormitory after 8 p.m. The student must insert .his ID card through a box programmed to accept the student numbers of those people living inside a particular building and reject all others. If a student moves out of the dorm or his card is stolen or lost, his number will be erased immediately after it is reported and he will be issued a new University-licensed bicycle. Security would most likely stop the individual and question him. Every person in the bike security program has his social security number sent to the Central Police Service in Buffalo as a permanent means of identification. This has been part of the nationwide Operation Identification, which was initiated insurance companies. independent last by year Inter-Residence Council (IRC) is cooperating with Security in a similar program where students may mark their valuables and send their social security number to the card. Keys If this system is successful at MacDonald, it will be extended to the rest of the housing complex, both on the Main and Amherst Campuses. ID cards could also serve for library and food service identification, while students could gain access to other buildings as well. Another plan will be tested in Schoellkopf Hall, where each student will receive a copy of the front door key of his dorm. One possible shortcoming, according to Lee Griffin, assistant director of Campus Security, is the problem of lost keys. “Both of these plans were devised for safety reasons as well as economical ones,” said Mr. Griffin. He indicated that this will each save the school several hundred dollars weekly in security officer salaries. 'Drug related' Campus Security feels robberies are now prevalent in the large dormitories, and that they usually occur after sundown. Officer Paul Orsi has observed that “Almost every armed robbery to date has been drug related; the precinct. ‘Trust’ Statistics from the monthly consolidated cumulative report calendars for January-June of 1973 and 1974 show an overall consistency between the two semesters in the total number of crimes committed. Campus Security made 18 student arrests throughout the five-month period in 1973 and 21 arrests within that same span of time in ’74. on the list, as the average reported occurrences of this offense were 162 and 172 respectively for ’73 and ’74. Mr. Orsi explained that “although we may hear about more crimes now than previously, it does not necessarily indicate that there has been more crime. Rather, as the efficiency of the security system increases, and the students and community feel more inclined to trust us, they are willing to report more incidents.” Petty larceny ranked high recipients of the offense are students who are noted drug dealers.” The offenders are usually males in their late teens or early twenties, are found to have previous criminal records, and are not students, Mr. Orsi claims. In cases oLarmed or assault robbery, the victim may be granted immunity from possession of drugs by the district attorney, he added. Commentary The Great American Hustle: all in a day’s work by Richard Korman young people. This kind of tenant usually apartment. As June 1 approaches, he learns Campus Editor has the least knowledge of rents and leases. They are easy to beat, and that’s what often happens. An out-of-town college student is also a good subject for any landlord willing to invest the risk and effort of a hustle. The risk is most often worth it, several successful hustles can pay off well. A lifetime of them can keep a landlord living comfortably and secure, in a house whose mortgage is almost paid off, for the remainder of his life. It can make him, by today’s sad and misdirected values, an accomplished and admired man of the world. from acquaintances that city inspectors have visited his future home and are about to have it formally condemned. Fearing that he and his friends will be stranded, he confronts the landlord. The landlord gives no indication that he is going to make the necessary repairs in time. Instead he says: “Go, you’re free, you can leave, get your things out fast.” The next day, the student returns to the premises to begin removing his possessions. The landlord is already there, hurriedly cleaning and repairing the house for the next occupants. The student goes up to the attic which until yesterday had been cluttered with the property of many. Now, save for a single piece of luggage, it is empty. He comes downstairs and finds several of his possessions in the garbage. He confronts the landlord. The landlord shouts and swears and launches into a small tirade against students. He takes out a piece of looseleaf paper, scrawls out a statement saying, “I have removed all my property from the premises,” and hands it to the student to sign. More than anything else, the great American hustle is responsible for the deplorable state of some off-campus housing near the University. The ideals of the Great American Hustle say this: The dollar is God; it must be acquired by any means. There is no without governing morally because, money, your children will go naked and hungry; your wife will slave her life away in rags, and you will never build a castle to call your own and be proud of. The great American hustle is rich in tradition. It is practiced widely by business and salespeople every day. They depend on their hustling skills, their ability to deceive without getting caught just like a washed-up relief pitcher relies on his breaking ball and control. It is a livelihood of guile and cunning which cares little about the law and its statutes, and even less for the vaguely defined precepts of right and wrong. Landlords have got to hustle. It is necessary to the success of their enterprise to trick and cheat as often as possible. In order to prosper, they must prey upon those least able to defend their position. These include poor people, old people and Specifics This past summer, at an address near the University, this hustle was pulled off swiftly, smoothly, and, so far, without repercussion. Four men make tentative arrangements with a landlord to begin occupancy June 1. They hand over a security deposit equal to one month’s rent. The future tenants, and several of their friends, move possessions into the attic and cellar for storage. Three of the future tenants leave town for the summer, one stays behind to oversee the business of their new The dilemma The student wonders whether to call the an police, but he hesitates. Here he is — out-of-towner in long hair and jeans. And there is the landlord, born and raised and owning a lot of property in Buffalo. intimated, and angry Frustrated, confused, he signs the landlord’s scrawled piece of looseleaf paper. Later he and his friends will realize that they have lost among other things: a leather jacket, a backpack, a dormitory refrigerator, a hotplate, pillows, sheets, blankets, a desk lamp, textbooks and notes. The rip-off is accomplished, the royal American screw is complete. For this landlord, its all in another day’s work. St A landlord will say that he cannot afford to be a storage house for everyone’s possessions. He himself is getting riped-off by tenants all the time. He must constantly clean and repair his houses because they’re old and fall apart easily. Students are lousy tenants, he will say, who come and go and wreck his houses. They are difficult and irresponsible to deal with. He works 12 hours a day sometimes a landlord will tell you. Sometimes they’re right, too. Sometimes, though, they are livelihood which a rationalizing unfortunately depends on how well they can frustrate, intimidate and confuse their tenants.

The Life Workshop program, which was originally formed experimentally in the 1972 summer session, has since expanded to include offerings in cooking, bicycles and human sexuality. Participation,, in a workshop .is on a voluntary, non-credit, low commitment basis. Although registration is necessary to join a workshop, attendance s not mandatory at every meeting. The registration process simply allows the coordinators of the program to limit the size of the workshops, so that the ideal of small groups can be maintained. The workshops meet flexible schedules perhaps once a week for 10 weeks, or for one night only, depending on the nature of the subject. There is no cost involved except that of necessary supplies. This semester, two workshops will meet on the Amherst Campus in addition to sections held on the Main Campus. There are three levels of involvement in the program: leader, coordinator and participant.

The move followed years of with the Internal haggling (IRS) over Revenue Service allegedly political (and for tax prohibited) activities by NSA. The IRS had as questioned activities such the in participation NSA’s anti-war movement of the late 60’s and early 70’s, specifically a trip to Hanoi by NSA leaders to Peace negotiate the "Peoples’ Treaty" with North Vietnamese leaders.

For the past couple of years, the administration has actively sought to have the four-course, four-credit system scrapped in favor of a more "flexible" system of credit-granting, where different courses would be assigned varied numbers of credits based on the individual needs of the various academic departments. Besides claiming that reduced faculty workloads have short-changed the University's requests for more resources from SUNY central administration, some administrators feel that "depriving" a student of one hour of faculty-student classroom contact makes him lose a major part of his education, and that a three-hour course should not "by fiat" become a four-hour one. But the most obvious danger in implementing a flexible system of credit-granting is that it would inevitably result in a great many courses being offered for three credits, or a de facto five course load. Most students arrive at a university eager to undertake independent study, motivate themselves and carefully explore their interests outside the confines of a sterile classroom's four walls in essence, to escape the high school mentality of being force-fed knowledge. Requiring a student to carry five courses per semester is nothing short of a regression back to the high school practice of sacrificing quality learning in favor of a superficial regurgitation of — facts The adoption of the four-course load five years ago signaled a growing awareness that contact hours do not equal learning, that learning should not be mandated but encouraged by skilled instructors capable of stimulating their students' intellectual curiosity. It is true that some flexibility might be desirable, especially for courses that have extremely heavy outside reading or research loads and are clearly worth more than four credits. But except for a failure The talk is everywhere now. You hear of it from housewives trying to put food on the family table. The Wall Street people talk about it as an accomplished fact. Old people, betrayed by their government after years of hard, honorable work, are shoplifting in the supermarkets. We are in a depression. Not a simple recession where the government can take steps to ease the suffering after it has served its purposls. But a full-scale depression. “The American economy will collapse within 60 days,” a Wall Street broker told me flatly the other night. “Forget about Ford’s economic summit conference. All the talk in the world won’t change the basic facts. And the facts are simple: We’re bankrupt and we’ve lost faith in the dollar. And the whole thing is about to tumble. It’s the most dangerous period since the 1930s. Keep your eye on the Pentagon, because anything could happen.” * * * This man, who, like others, insists on anonymity, is not a wide-eye radical. He is a capitalist. His life has been spent in the business of making money with money. But he believes that within 60 days the Dow Jones Industrial Average will fall to 500, and possibly lower. He points out that in the past year that index has fallen from 1051.7 in January 1973 to 627.19 last Friday. More than $300 billion worth of profits has been wiped out, including much of the swollen value of such stock market gains as Avon and Polaroid. “This winter, the banks will start to crumble,” he said. “Franklin Natonal is already a welfare case. In July and August, $3.5 billion was wihdrawn from savings banks, which means people are very scared. The commercial banks were playing the stock market with money they did not own, and they’ve lost fortunes. A lot of them started speculating in European money markets to cover their losses in the stock market, and they lost there, too. The paper money we are now carrying around in our pockets is growing more worthless by the hour.” The inflation is real to everyone. I went into a joint the other day and discovered that a takeout pizza is now selling for $6.40. Out on Long Island, a Dairy Freeze coss 50 cents. Cigarettes are up 47 per cent, beer 29 per cent, wine 47 per cent. Those are the marginal items. Consider the necessities: meat is up 54 per cent that since 1967, milk is up 52 per cent, rice is up 144 per cent, classic staple of the poor fish 116 per cent. Housing is up 50 per cent, clothes 35 per cent. And it’s certain to get worse. “obody believes in the future anymore,” my stock broker friend said. “We’ve been printing — — paper to pay for wars, power, foreign aid, and have debased the currency so badly that there are few technical devices left to us. And as more people become unemployed, demand seems to increase, which indicates that there is a lot of hoarding going on. People are stocking up against the apocalypse, and they’re probably right.” Severi other money people I spoke with offered the following advice: 1) sell every stock you now have, because the capital market will get so bad that it might have to be altogether scrapped; 2) empty your bank accounts and start converting the bulk of your money to gold or a harder currency, such as Swiss francs; and 3) try to get as much spare money as possible out of the country before the federal government again devalues the dollar. The long term is more ominous. “The banks could be closed up in a minute,” one of these men said to me. “Roosevelt closed them in 1933, and they could be closed up again. As soon as people realize how worthless the paper dollar is there could be a run on the banks like we’ve never seen before. And once he people discover how the banks and insurance companies and the other institutions have been shooting craps with their dollars, it could be panic time again.” Others point to the eminent collapse of Great Britain and Italy as signals that the crisis of capitalism is world-wide. England no longer has a string of colonies into which it can dump is shoddy goods. It has been reduced to an off-shore island, and the pressure of fuel increases is wrecking the economy. Italy has been kiting checks with the rest of the world for more than a year. “In terms of the international monetary system,” a Wall Street friend said, “the collapse of one of those countries will be the equivalent of a major American bank collapsing, a National City or a Chase Manhattan. The whole goddamm thing will come tumbling down.” * � � In New York, the effects have been devastating. Inflation since 1969 has eaten up 34 per cent of every New York dollar. Unemployment is now 7.5 per cent and rising. The sales tax is at 8 per cent, the state and city income taxes are eating away at what is left from the federal taxes, and the prices of food, housing and clothing are going through the roof. There is a smell of the Weimar Republic in the air. “This isn’t just another technical problem,” one of those Wall Street informants told me. “The old system is finished. And what replaces it could be even worse.” to assign extra credits for extradordinarily heavy work loads, the four course system has worked well and has greatly improved the quality of education at this University. No administrator or faculty member can determine whether one department's courses are worth more than another's; it is up to the student to determine for himself which is more important As for the argument that the four-course, four-credit system reduces faculty work loads and weakens the University's claim for more funds from Albany, there has got be some better way of equalizing faculty work loads than discarding the four-course system. Besides, it has never been explicitly documented that the four-course load is that critical a factor in the computation of SUNY budgets. to Until some hard evidence is produced to show that the current system of granting credits greatly impedes the University's access to crucial funds for learning while undermining the caliber of its education, the Faculty Senate should reject any departure from the current four-course, four-credit system Page eight . The Spectrum . Friday, 20 September 1974 'SPEAKING OF AMNESTY, I'D ALSO LIKE A CHANCE TO EARN MY WAY BACK INTO SOCIETY . , �Trankenstcitt Disgust revulsion evoked at mangled bodies flndytttaitoH combines visual realism by Jay Boyar emotional stench From the front of the theater, the audience members at a screening of Frankenstein look like movie stars each one balancing a pair of 3-D glasses on his nose. It could be said that the audience or members are the stjrs of the movie maybe not them so much as the human body. Flesh is mangled, abused, and ripped apart in Frankenstein and the shame is that nobody cares about the characters who receive this kind of treatment. Practically everybody is disgusted, but the disgust comes not from any sympathy for the shattered characters as such; rather, the disgust is what you feel when you see the bodies of strangers rotting or slashed by disease or violence. While nothing in the film is actually frightening, many scenes evoke that basic repulsion one feels at seeing the human body rendered grotesque. Andy Warhol's Frankenstein (really, Paul Morrissey's he wrote and directed it) is a commentary on cinema. I don't know if it is a conscious one or not; it is certainly overstated in any case. It carries to an extreme the trend in film that — — — and Tradition Films like Death Wish and The Exorcist went pretty far in conjuring up non-human disgust, but they stopped short. Even in those horrors, there was some effort to characters and create near-human to sympathies. In engage our situations Frankenstein, the characters have as much depth as the characters in a Mad magazine movie parody, and the humor in the film Dr. Frankenstein's zany Austrian accent contrasting with the young hero's New York inflection is also right out of the sophomoric Mad. Visually, the film has a — neighborhood theaters, and if only it had had a more colorful finish," I can hear the promoters musing. And that is just a short step from holding public hangings and decapitations. Like a public execution, Frankenstein debases its audience by making it a party to its inhumanity. The film creates the illusion of real bodies being abused. The 3-D technique tries to recreate life, just as the original Dr. Frankenstein tried. The finally as result is as pitiable and — — destructive. Eyes — Maqic Lantern three-dimensional depth, but emotionally and artistically, it is as shallow a film as has ever been made. Going to the movies solely to see the human body riven is just a short step from watching and hoping to see an actual person plummet to a hideous death in the Grand Canyon. "If only Evel Knievel's stunt could have been broadcast in 3-0 to That 3-D technique is also responsible for some unusual effects. At one point, I could have sworn the theater was full of bats. A fish in the film looks real. A man's head is cut off by long hedge clippers, and when the clippers are swung around so that the head extends out into the audience, it really seems like that head is sitting there about two rows in front of you. But praising this sort of thing is a bit like remarking on the admirable power and newly-developed of a efficiency flamethrower as it burns down your home. And, incidentally, the strain on the eyes from peering through those glasses gives many viewers a headache so painful as to make them wish for hedge clippers of their own. As I left Frankenstein, I heard a patron say, "After this. I'm going back to Walt Disney!" While Disney films are often of questionable merit, the patron's point was that he was sick of being sick. He woke up enough to be fed up with being kicked around. No, it's not that films like Frankenstein shouldn't be made, but rather that they have little to offer that the morgue does not. The morgue, after all, is cheaper and you don't even need special glasses. The Last Picture Show dealt with "depression," but it was such a well-made film that viewing it was elating. "Disgust" is a good topic for a film, but to deal with it in an honest (and, if comedic, then witty also) way must always be in the director's mind. What we've got to do is avoid films like Frankenstein. If we don't, then we glassy-eyed movie stars will get more and more like zombies. �'Duddy In a University of this size, there is bound to be a wide variety of musical interest. As the music editor of The Spectrum, I feel it is my responsibility to cover the field as completely as possible: blues, rock (hard rock, rock and roll), soul, country, folk, jazz, "classical." pop, and so on.

The secret of the Pyramids? Stonehenge? What to do at a boring concert? It is doubtful whether these perennial questions will ever be solved, but I certainly gave the last question a lot of thought last Sunday night. The New Riders of the Purple Sage started the show off with a bang, arriving over an hour late (I hear their truck broke down in Rochester). Nevertheless, they were given a wildly enthusiastic reception by all the cowboys and girls who were there to enjoy no matter what happened. The band opened with "I Don't Know You," and people were already hooting, clapping, stamping and dancing. As for me, the first problem I ran into was the sound system (credit goes to Phoenix Associates). All I could hear was a jumble of noise, so I started walking around the gym to try to find a good place to listen. I finally found it about half an hour later, way in back, directly in the line of one of the speaker stacks. Now I could hear what they were playing. It wasn't worth the effort. All the same The problem was not with the music per se. All the members of the band are very competent (in fact, the steel pedal and lead guitarists are excellent). But every song sounded exactly the same. Same straight ahead 4/4 drum lines (whether slow or fast), same bass lines, same chord patterns, same strumming techniques, same type of melody lines, same type of vocal harmonies oh, those vocals. Perfectly on pitch, of course, a wonderful three-part blend, but no expression. (Excuse me, there was some expression, but it was exactly the same for each song a shortly plaintive tone, I think). They sounded just about as bored as I — — felt. Also, for the most part, the Riders ran through their songs as if they were simply reproducing the album cuts. No digressions, no extended breaks, no different arrangements, nothing. and clapped his hands so loud it hurt my ears. (Hm. I thought he wanted to hear the song). Maybe that's it. You have to sing along. Bearable at best The fast bluegrass instrumental tunes were bearable, because the their individual virtuosity best thing about the band came into play. And at least I could tap my foot. Forget about the slow ones. The one song that does stick in my mind is "Portland Woman." It was the only song in which the Riders took an extended break, and even though it was very reminiscent of the Dead, it was interesting. I never would have believed that I would complain about a band playing too long, but I guess you learn something new every day. In the spirit of the source from whence they came (i.et, the Grateful Dead), the Riders played an hour set, took an intermission, then played another set. They had been going at it for two hours when I left at 11:30 (my informers tell me that it went on until midnight). I don't know. The crowd loved 'em, but I just couldn’t take any more. — — Excuse me So. What to do at a boring concert. For one thing, try to figure out how and why everybody else seems to be having such a good time. This includes interviewing members of the audience, which can be diverting for quite some time. "How do you like it?" "All I want to hear is 'Last Lonely Eagle,' 'Portland Woman,' and 'Glendale Train' and I'll be happy." "Are you into all their albums?" ... "Sure." “But all the songs you just named are on their first." "Well, I At that point, the band went into "Portland Woman," and the guy I was talking to went into ecstasy.

Page thirteen . �RECORDS Birthright Free Spirits (Freelance) A group of local musicians who call themselves Birthright have taken the .initiative to produce this album entirely on their own. Although I might normally be prejudiced in favor of a local group, this music transcends such tendencies, giving me instead feelings of pride. I only hope that the Buffalo scene doesn't soon strangle them and force them elsewhere. Basically, the group consists of Joe Ford, alto and soprano saxes and electric piano; Paul Gresham, tenor sax; and Nasara Abadey, drums. Added for this record are Onase Allen Gumbs, electric and acoustic piano; Jim Kurzdorfer, bass; and Jimmy Manuel, acoustic piano (side one). Collectively, these musicians have worked with such people as Hubbard, Tyner, Carter, Mingus, Doug and Jean Cam, Jackie and the Buffalo McIntyre McLean, Ken Philharmonic. The music here is an exquisite blend of the styles of some of the best contemporary composers. All five tunes are originals, and offer a good variety. "Jowocol" sounds much like Coltrane Grateful Dead From the Mars Hotel and even contains traces of the "Love Supreme" head. The title tune is driving and funky, heavy on electric piano, bringing to mind works of Henderson, Hancock and Davis (Bitches Brew). "Nano" is a beautiful tune containing traces of Weather Report, Jimmy Heath and others. "Do You Know Where Your Children Are" and "Tangerine" both contain the textures and moods found in Wayne Shorter's work, featuring Ford on soprano. The pressing quality is good, but the recording could be better. This can be overcome simply by turning the treble control way down on your system. The music here deserves to find its way into your ears. Anyone from Buffalo who calls himself a jazz lover should pick up this record. You'll be happy to find it better than many records from "top" names. At this time it is available only through the mail. Don't wait for some record company to scoop it up; besides, the price is right. Send $5.00 to Birthright, P.O. Box 514, Buffalo, N.Y. 14240. Happy listening! -Bill Wahl (Grateful Dead Records) In 1967, Phil Lesh described the Grateful Dead's music as "orbiting around a common center that is impossible to define, but it has something to do with making good music of any kind." In the past, at least in the ears of kinder critics, the end product of a Dead album was basically good due to the existence of this "common center." In viewing their history, one can see the progression from totally experimental forms through the "acid era," culminating with Live Dead. At that point, their followers was a relatively small band of Bachman Turner Overdrive Not Fragile (Mercury) devotees the original Dead freaks.

It's a picture that's reminiscent of early Lightfoot or Paul Simon albums, with a seriousness that almost predicts the kind of music contained within. But it doesn't that's why it's misleading. Brian Cadd doesn't make one-man guitar music. He's got a full spectrum of instruments to help him, from jug & washboard to the cello, and he uses them all. Here lies one of the major faults of the — album. The first side is more affected by Cadd's wealth of instruments. The first two songs, "Think It Over" and "Let Go," are love found and love lost songs (in that order) which sound like they're written by Jimmy Cliff and Lynn Anderson, respectively (the latter complete with howling steel guitar and pained vocal). There are just too many instruments to carry it off, though, and the lyrics are not even mildly interesting. Cadd explores the country music area further with "Fire At Shepherd's Flat" and "Springhill County Breakdown." Both songs sound almost exactly the same, but where "Fire" fails, "Breakdown" succeeds in being interesting, though it's hard to pinpoint why. It's about "becoming a man" at the age of 17 with the help of an older woman. Cadd overcomes the fact that this theme has been done many times before, and produces a country tune that compels you to listen. On the way out of the country style is the namesake of the album, "Moonshine." It gets your toes tapping but sounds too cluttered to be memorable. Mahogany Rush Child of the Novelty (20th Century) In the last two or three years, a number of rock guitarists have attempted to fill the gap left by the death of Jimi Hendrix. Among these, Robin Trower stands out as the most successful. His two solo albums blend Hendrix-like guitar with his own Marino, style. Frank original distinctive, singer-guitarist-songwriter for the Canadian group Mahogany Rush, however, has carried this idea out to an almost ridiculous extreme. Whereas Trower is merely influenced by the work of Hendrix, Marino actually thinks he is J.H. incarnate, and the resulting album. Child of the Novelty, sounds like a collection of out-takes from The Cry of Love. The album's surrealistic cover painting and extensive liner notes make the group's intentions perfectly clear. Inside the front flap we are confronted with a bit of prose written by Marino himself, a stoned discourse on such things as "velvet pancakes" and "glass-eating mercury Sunday mishaps," a la Electric Ladyland. I wonder if Frank knows that Hendrix himself stole this technique of writing liner notes from Bob Dylan. Or cares. Inside the back cover is another paragraph beginning with the words, "I'll never forget the first time I heard Frank Marino play .." What follows is more outer space gibberish, signed by someone named Bill Mann, presumably a Canadian music expert. Any misconceptions as to Marino's fanciful train of thought can quickly be cleared up by listening to the words of "Makin' My Wave": "Well was a man with a natural grace And in that life led a mighty quick pace Well I said some things that turned ya all on Then all of a sudden was dead and gone Well hope you don't think it's too bold for me . / / / It isn't until the second side that Brian Cadd gets out of his rut. Maybe it's because he's now singing songs about himself, or maybe he’s just done a better job of using his instruments. Whatever the reason, side two is different. "Mr. Music" is a song about how Cadd must make music, and for the first time, each instrument has its own purpose, changing the mood at every refrain. The lyrics are much more real than those of the other songs, and much easier to listen to. The song works because of its simplicity. The same goes for "Song For Wendy," a short song with Cadd singing about his thoughts waiting for the birth of his first child. He is backed only by a softly played piano. The song is beautiful. The last song, "Rich Man," is one of Cadd's best attempts, using as many instruments as he can. This time, the combination works, as though each instrument has found its slot at last. They complement instead of compete, leaving none of the rough edges so prevalent in his other songs. The whole album comes across as a beginning, an experiment Cadd conducted to see just what he could and could not do. Instead of one style, he darts from one to the other, fooling around here, making a serious attempt there, in general just taking his time letting things happen. This relaxed feeling comes through to save the album many times, making it easier to forgive his many mistakes. Looking again at his cover picture, you see that he's "just makin' music." For that reason, Moonshine isn't an album that you must have, but Brian Cadd is someone you should remember for the future. —Kevin Crane / to say Just what's on my mind but I'll say it anyway Well look out people 'cause I'm come back from my grave And I'm gonna make my wave" Marino's voice, although a bit flat in some places, is very close to the sound of Hendrix's, and the singing style is reproduced very diligently I think I counted the word alright 10 times on the first side of the album alone. The music and instrumentation, consisting of multiple overdubbed guitars, is again very similar to the sound on later Hendrix albums. Phrasing, backwards guitar playing, and stereo separation tricks abound, and most of the solos consist of rehashed Hendrix licks strung together. Marino is a very good guitarist one has to but it would be an be to play like Jimi Hendrix — Hendrix theme, and includes such brilliant lyrics as "Well now I'm ready for my liftoff I'm strapped down to my seat Well I'm flying out to Mars And see the Martian fields of wheat And a brother up on Jupiter And / tell you it's no lie Talkin' 'bout the universe Before he up and died." Far out. The album's title cut is, surprisingly enough, about the life and death of Jimi Hendrix, and features Marino on bass and drums in addition to guitars. The rhythm tracks on the rest of the album are provided by James Ayoub, drums, and Paul Harwood, bass. Ayoub and Howard are strictly backup musicians, but they are very competent and do a good job of sounding like Mitch Mitchell and Noel Redding, members of the Experience. "Makin' My Wave," the last song on the first side, begins with a riff that sounds like it was taken from Deep Purple, rather than Hendrix, and ends with an excellent guitar solo, one of the best on the record. "A New Rock and Roll," "Changing,"' and "Plastic Man" all deal in one way or another with Marino's plan to leave his mark on music and society. Seems he arrived about seven years too late. For feedback enthusiasts there is a track entitled "Quit War," in which a bombing raid is staged right droning engines, air raid before your very ears sirens, bombs, and guns. All of these effects, the liner notes point out, "were made with a Fender Stratocaster and Super-Reverb amp. No other devices, instruments, or sound effect record or tape were used." To top it all off, there is a slow-motion recording of Marino's voice which, when played at 78 rpm, can be heard to say, "There shall be wars Mankind you have doomed great wars yourself." Far out. Perhaps the best cut on the album is its final one, a spacey six-minute instrumental called "Chains of (s)Pace," which is slightly reminiscent of Hendrix's "Angel." However, the guitar playing here sounds fairly original and the total effect is very — ... ... pretty. Frank Marino and Co. do deserve credit, if only for the meticulous detail with which they have copied,the Hendrix sound. I would not recommend this album to any but the most devout Hendrixites, though, and even they would be disappointed, as there is little on Child of the Novelty that has not already been heard on a Hendrix album. I have a feeling, though, that Mahogany Rush will attract a understatement to say that his style lacks originality. large following (if they haven't already), for much "Look Outside," the album's first cut, is built the same reasons that groups like Sha Na Na have. around a riff lifted from Hendrix's "Room Full of With current trends veering towards nostalgia, Mirrors," and the feedback solo from "Third Stone Mahogany Rush will be probably only the first of from the Sun" is reproduced faithfully by Marino on along line of groups to re-create the "acid rock" era.

Kids never worry about getting hurt though. It’s fun they’re interested in and they were having fun pretending to be Evel Knievel. Evel must be doing pretty well for himself too. He earned somewhere between 6 and 15 million dollars for his fall into the LOOKING FOR TREES canyon. It was a win, lose or draw deal of Knievel. No matter what happened, he’d still collect a hefty bundle from the promoters of the aborted jump and residuals from Evel Knievel products which include a miniature doll of Knievel himself with its own motorcycle.

Fortunately, it wasn’t raining or freezing cold outside, but from past experience, I can say that it wouldn’t have made any difference. Meanwhile, once inside, all the windows were kept closed, thereby causing great discomfort to the people packed into the gym. The solution to these problems is not unreasonable. The concert committee should either let people in when they arrive, or specify a time in advance of the performance when the doors will be opened, and then stick to it! Furthermore, two entrances should be used on either side of the building, thus opening four doors rather than one. I was told by a campus security officer at the door that this would make ticket collecting impossible. Bullshit! Either the conc&rt committee should hire more people, or take some of those useless ushers oft the floor for a half hour and have them help at the door. It is unfortunate that the concert committee does such a fine job in booking good performers at reasonable rates, and then ruins the evening by putting everyone in a lousy frame of mind immediately before the concert begins. Stephen Kirsch Get it together To the Editor. SA Executive Vice-President Scott Salimando has conveniently reasoned that the inability of the Student Association to function was caused by good old “student apathy.” He insults our intelligence by telling us that lack of student participation has transformed SA into merely a student service and altered its primary functions of policy-making and academic supervision. This didn’t seem to be true last year when student apathy was just as high and the SA was working diligently in those areas. What happened? Could it have been that most of this year’s Executive Committee did not see fit to remain in Buffalo over the summer? So, Mr. Salimando, don’t give us this crap about apathetic students limiting SA’s capacities! And all the “Classes” in the world aren’t going to help an impotent Executive Committee. What you’d better do is sit down and get SA’s shit together, and fast!

State officials are required to show why Sostre should not be given a new trial. Mr. Sostre has claimed that he received an unfair trial in Erie County Court and that he was denied equal protection under the law as guaranteed by the 14th Amendment. The former operator of the Afro-Asian Bookstore on Jefferson Avenue in downtown contends that the Buffalo hid evidence of crucial prosecutor witness, failed to disclose names of favorable witnesses, and made improper remarks during his summation about the defendant’s failure to defend himself. irR He also charges that the trial judge failed to thorou gh hly question prospective jurors about possible prejudice against black defendants and that blacks were systematically excluded from the jury. In addi tion, Mr. Sostre of a conviction protested contempt handed down by the same judge who originally charged him with contempt. The key witness against Sostre admitted in Federal Court that he had lied about purchasing heroin from Sostre in order to get himself out of trouble. However, Federal Judge John Curtin ruled that the new testimony was not credible. While in prison, Sostre has organized a variety of prisoner movements and has been placed in confinement for solitary “practicing law without a license” and advising fellow prisoners of their legal rights. Minority Affairs Committee presents and CROWN HEIGHTS AFFAIR at Clark Hall Saturday, Sept. 21 at 8:00 p.m. Tickets are $4.00 and available at Norton Ticket Office by Don Eisenmann Contributing Editor Despite skyrocketing inflation, state and land grant universities across the nation have succeeded in keeping tuition increases at a minimum, according to a study just released by the National Association of State Universities and Land Grant Colleges (NASULGC). The study reports an average tuition increase in these schools of less than three percent for 1974-75. NASULGC represents 130 public colleges and universities, which account for almost one third of all students in higher education institutions. The group publishes information annually on charges for tuition, required fees, and room and board. The 2.6 percent reported increase represents a jump of $14 from $517, the average tuition charged last year, to $531 this year. Room and board costs, however, showed larger increases, up almost eight percent from last year’s, with the student paying on the average $119 more to sleep and eat on campus. Inflation again Predictably, inflation was cited as the primary cause of increases in all areas. Rapidly escalating prices and faculty and staff salary increases were reported by most schools as factors behind the increases, “to maintain the current level of program quality.” Several institutions also reported the need to increase tuition because of inadequate funding from state legislatures, and because of a drying up of other outside sources of revenue. Of the 121 schools participating in the survey, only 10 reported no increase in any area of student charges. Among them was the State University of New York. But the survey also showed that the SUNY system tuition of $900 per year for upper division students is the eighth highest in the nation. Generally, although individual school costs vary greatly, schools in New England and in the Mid-Atlantic region are most expensive, followed by the Southeast and the West. The total cost of attendance at state and land grant schools ran from a low of $1152 at Tennessee State University to a high of $3105 at Cornell University. Tuition alone was lowest at City University of New York, at $70, and highest at Cornell, at $1500. Generally, the average tuition has increased more than seven percent per yar over the past nine years, raising the average tuition from $311 to $531, presents; A firm pledge NASULGC itself has also taken a stand opposing threats to low tuition. At its last convention, in 1973, the association “pledged to push for the continuation of low tuition as the most important undertaking in the months ahead,” as stated in their report. NASULGC feels that the real test for continued low tuition will come next year, “if inflation continues at its rampant pace and groaning state treasuries, facing demands for more funds on every hand, must look for additional sources of revenue.” If all this has you worried about meeting tuition next year, there is always the University of Guam, which will be happy to have you for a mere $200 a year. (Social Fraternity) Bethlem Steele - Tuition hikes? The Carnegie Commission on Higher Education recommended in 1973 that public institutions should raise tuition annually at a greater rate than do private schools, to help decrease the present cost discrepancy between the two. The commission also recommended a “re-evaluation of tuition policy to gear it more to the actual costs of education by level of training.” This would mean increased tuition with increased grade level, as the SUNY system now has. In addition, the Committee for Economic Development, a panel of business leaders, proposed in 1973 an increase in tuition to a point at which it would pay for 50 percent of the actual cost of instruction. Both recommendations were strongly opposed by leaders of higher education though, because they felt such increases would make it impossible for most lower middle class students to attend college. Rep. James O’Hara, chairman of the House subcommittee on higher education, said that “It is time to blow the whistle on the growing tendency for the rich to make grandiose plans to aid the poor with the money of the middle class.” The ALF-CIO has also spoken out against any proposal to substantially raise tuition at public universities, declaring that this “would shatter the hopes of workers to insure that their children have the advantage of higher education.” opa Epsilo nauron j gaaasB j Student Association Tonight a 70 percent increase.

In several ways, a sports fan who fell into a Rip Van Winkle type repose ten years ago would feel right at home with today’s sporting scene. Names like Moses Malone, O.J. Simpsdn and Kinshasa, Zaire would be quite foreign to him as . would organizations like the World Football League and World Team Tennis. But some things, after a decade or so, have come full cycle. Take the Ali—Foreman bout for example. Ten years ago, Ali, or rather Cassius Clay, was a boisterous young and loudmouthed boxer on the way up. George Foreman was busy dropping out of high school and becoming a juvenile delinquent in Detroit. Zaire was known as the Congo and fighting there was not exactly confined to the ring during the early sixties. But now for the first time since the first Liston fight, Ali is a^4 ec*ded underdog, and the upcoming bout may signal the end of his career, something a Houston, Texas draft board couldn’t quite manage. Major league baseball has both multiplied and divided since 1964. In that year, the World Series was played between the up and coming St. Louis Cardinals and the New York Yankees, who were in the twilight of their domination of the game. Both teams are in first place in their respective divisions as of this writing. In later years, Yankee star Roger Maris would help the Cardinals to two more pennants and Cardinal first baseman Bill White would become a Yankee broadcaster. And talk about change! Why Lou Brock-well, he’s still doing his thing, isn’t he, just as he did ten years ago when the Cards picked him up for has-been Ernie Broglio. And now he’s better than ever. Meanwhile, nothing is the same for the Yankees, who are in a new ball park with all new players, (save one Mel Stottlemyre who’s injured anyway) new coaching, a new manager and new dishonest management in that fine Watergate tradition. (Despite all that has been written about the Yankees recently, no one has been astute enough to notice that the “Bronx Bombers” really started playing well when George Steinbrenner, their largest stockholder, pleaded guilty to conspiracy in Watergate-related offenses). For Yankee fans, who became accustomed to year-in and year-out pennants, it has been a k.ng ten year dryspell that has seen the team bounce between absurdity, mediocrity and an occasional second place. Now, as they fight it out with Baltimore and Boston for the pennant, they are not like any other team. They’re the Yankees and if they won, it would be their 30th pennant in 51 years. Finally, we come to Buffalo’s own Bills, who may well threaten Miami for the divisional title this season. Ten years ago, lead by quarterback turned Congressman Jack Kemp and a jarring fullback named Cookie Gilchrist, the Bills won the AFL title two years in a row and reigned as the league’s first real power. Their drought came fast and lasted long, until high draft picks and some good trades resulted in last year’s 9-5 ball club. The Bills are now not only contending caliber but incredibly young as well. No one thought they had balance until the other night when Joe Ferguson and Ammad Rashad took over where the ailing O.J. Simpson had left off. The doormat days of the late sixties may never return.

(Anyone interested should call Mr. Humm in 205 Norton Hall, 831-5507.) Mr. Jackalone mentioned many academic issues that would come to a head soon: review of the pass-fail grading option, peer-group and Division of Undergraduate Education (DUE) advisement and review of the contact/credit hour system and course load. These issues are likely to be decided without student participation because SA can’t work properly in academic affairs without organization at the departmental level, Mr. JackaLone maintained. He said that for the benefit of SA, the academic clubs and all the students, SA must “have involvement in the academic life of this ’' - page 1- representatives, Mr. Jackalone said, “You University.” WIRE FRAMES - Academics goal... ‘Who’s lobbying?’ At Tuesday’s meeting, Mr. Jackalone asked: “Who’s in the Assembly?

Mr. Price charged that the “two corporate absentees were making more than enough money on substandard structures," in a telephone interview with The Spectrum on Monday. Both Mr. Rados and Mr. Mann, in independent statements, steadfastly denied the charges against them. “I do not believe that I avoid bringing these properties up to code; the work is being done,” Mr. Mann asserted. Mr. Rados claimed he was being made a scapegoat, and could in no way be characterized as the worst area landlord. “There are other people renting to students too. What about (Benedict) Tulumello?” Mr. Mann said he and Mr. Rados share a telephone answering service and have one common holding. Other than that, he claims they have no mutual business interests. Mr. Mann reported that he owned a total of seven apartments in 3 separate buildings in the University area. However, Mr. Price said that between the two of them, they control seven houses under inspection and at least another 11. Methodology Mr. Price’s charges grew out of an investigation he conducted this summer with the help of eight State University at Buffalo students into student complaints of landlord abuses. were being haadied on an individual basis, Mr. Price explained, and “absentee landlords would win with students being ripped-off, houses Previously, complaints deteriorating,” and neighborhoods declining in general. “We wanted to get the kind of information to find out what these landlords are about," he said. “We needed a way to collate the information on a landlord how many buildings he owned, how many tenants he had, how much rent he charged in essence, how they were exploiting the student housing crisis. Mr. Price described the process by which the eight students went down to the board of assessor’s and placed information onto index cards. Questionnaire forms were drawn up, he said, which scrutinized terms of lease, heating, plumbing, electrical and structural maintenance, and relations - ... with neighborhood homeowners. Rip-offs and threats “We interviewed dozens of students and several neighborhood people and found that neighborhood people, more or less, did not mind students living in a house Price said. What nearby,” Mr. neighborhood people minded the most, he observed, was piled up garbage, unmowed lawns, illegally parked cars, wild parties, blaring stereos and noise in general. Students were most concerned with landlord rip-offs, massive security deposits, maintenance and threats of eviction, he explained. Mr. Price also cited instances where landlords would show up in housing court with phony leases. Other violations encountered in the study ranged from plumbing and electrical violations, such as leaking toilets and exposed wires, to structural violations like sagging floors and weak porch supports. However, both Mr. Rados and Mr. Mann insisted that these were minor infractions and had been quickly repaired. Inflation “These were minor violations that could appear in other people’s houses,” Mr. Rados maintained. He claimed he has been doing a great deal of the repair work himself, as well as keeping on call “people who just go out and do all the plumbing work.” Citing high maintenance costs, Mr. Rados said that “inflation has got me so bad, that if Mr. Price wanted to buy me out today, I’d sell. “The ultimate fixer is me,” he continued. “They don’t run to Mr. Price to fix it, they run to me. If there are repairs going on and work being completed, then it’s obvious I’m not a bad apple.” Mr. Rados was also critical of city inspectors. He felt their objectivity had been compromised because many of them were political appointees with little " expertise in housing. “Inspectors barge in and don’t even make appointments,” he said. Citing recent no-show scandals in Buffalo city government, he claimed many inspectors did not work a full eight hour day. ‘Isn’t it obvious?’ Asked if he was a victim of political ambitions, Mr. Rados said, “It’s an election year, so who’s to say. You ask if there’s a vendetta against me,” he added. “I don’t know, isn’t it obvious?” Last August, as a result of Mr. Price’s investigation, Messrs. Rados and Mann were brought before city housing court Judge M. Dolores Denman for several maintenance violations and received summonses. Many of the violations, the two landlords maintained, had already been repaired. According to Messrs. Rados and Mann, when Judge Denman took into account the size of the violations and how quickly the summonses were prepared, she was surprised and slightly angry. She adjourned the court until October 7, during which time Messrs. Rados and Mann must comply with city regulations. A reinspection will be made at that time. “It’s difficult when they blitz you with houses at a time,” said Mr. Rados, discussing violations the inspectors found. Mr. Mann also believed many of the violations were minimal. “They got me for cracked glass, a worn step . .” he said. “We’re not the biggest owners; it appears we’re being scapegoated,” he surmised, adding, “I’m not a rich man, I don’t drive an expensive car.” Tenant cooperation Both landlords spoke of the difficulties of maintaining the old, wood buildings which surround the campus. These kinds of structures deteriorate quickly, they say. In addition, they feel many students may damage apartments in a variety of ways. They man try to bring into the house oversized furniture and break doors and S . window frames in the process. Posters put up on the walls with tape ruin paint jobs, they claim. Some students,, the two landlords feel, may simply become angry and kick a door in. Maintenance “depends on tenant cooperation: some students are good and others are bad,” according to Mr. Rados. High rentals Mr. Price also attacked those landlords he believed were charging students unusually high rentals. “I think it’s incredible what students are paying in terms of living conditions,” he said. The Buffalo Evening News reported last week an investigation by the Mayor’s Housing Court Task Force of landlords who collect exhorbitant rentals on substandard dwellings near the University. In that report, Task Force co-director William E. Carey said information was being gathered to study landlords “who may be collecting rents of $400 to SSOC monthly for a flat or $1000 for a double home.” While students want good heating and plumbing, Mr. Price said, it was important for neighbors that the appearance of houses did not result in the psychology o) lower property values and people out. movint Part of the emphasis of the Task Force’; study, Mr. Carey and Mr. Price advised, wil be on eliminating illegal attic and cellai occupancies. Mr. Price admitted this might displease several students. In fighting abusive landlords, Mr. Price asked that students make their complaint' to legal aid. “If students are good tenants if we can work together, then we can lick sharks like Rados and Mann,” he said “Their only move is to split the neighborhood and the students.” Gouging Messrs. Rados and Mann insist that they are far from becoming wealthy. They set the net effect of Mr. Price’s actions a: making student housing unworkable anc possibly driving it away altogether. Then are other landlords, they contend, whr have been totally ignored by Mr. Price, but are much more blatant violators of housing and safety codes. Mr. Price hopes to sponsor a housing forum at the University in conjunctior with the Student Association (SA), that will include Task Force representatives students and neighborhood people. Asked about his poor reputation as t landlord around the University, Mr. Rado; explained that many people who an pleased with his actions say nothing and g( unnoticed. “The ones that do the most complaining usually do the least improving on the apartments,” he said. �ir** **r *» Humble co-op beginnings foster plans in state schools The U.B. Record Co-op, located on the first floor of Norton Hall, has come a long way from its folding table in the Norton lobby, but the prices have remained as humble as its beginnings. The not-for-profit co-op sells records to students at a mere 3% mark-up of the cost paid to the distributor. The mark up covers the cost of office equipment. All of the students working in the co-op are volunteers; all work without pay. The Student Association (SA) originally helped form the co-op by laying out $500 and allowing them to use their bank account. According to an agreement, any excess profit generated by the co-op will go to SA. and have his record within one week. A careful inventory is kept of each sale to determine student demand as accurately as possible. “A college community is unique in record selling, demanding more unusual selections, rather than the ‘popular’ requests of a non-college community,” Mr. Parker explained. rental Record Sales, the 10 supplies the co-op, allows credit in stock, permitting maintain a large selection i Diffr membership dues. David Parker, the co-op’s founder, feels students would be hesitant to pay membership dues to a record co-op, which is why it accepted support from SA. This summer, members of the co-op urged other schools to initiate similar ventures. Fredonia, Buffalo State, Stonybrook, Rochester, New Paltz, Binghamton and Ithaca Colleges have all made plans for record co-ops beginning this semester. Brooklyn College will start a limited co-op, similar to the table that the Buffalo Co-op began with. The co-op is seeking volunteers to work in stock, sales, ordering and inventory so it can expand to accommodate Millard Fillmore night students, (the current hours are from nine to four.) available for immediate sale The college community is ideal for the co-op, since it is not charged rent. Mr. Parker believes it could not be as successful in a non-college environment. “This is the first time a non-profit volunteer organization has survived,” he explained. He attributes the huge success to the work of a few people, and the completion of the two goals; setting up a successful store and initiating other co-ops throughout the state.

IRC, one of the only organizations of its type in the country, operates by collecting a $20 voluntary activities fee from dorm residents. The IRC treasury has thus far collected approximately 1500 fees, an increase over last year. The higher figure was expected because the number of dormitory students increased this year from 2200 to 3600. Complaints by Inter-Residence Council members that non fee-paying dorm residents were being admitted to IRC events free of charge has motivated IRC to institute a strict guest policy whereby all guests of fee-payers must pay an admission fee to IRC activities. “There are two reasons for the admission charge,” said IRC treasurer Richard Cohen. “One is increased costs for running events, the other is to show the desireability of paying your IRC fee by not allowing non fee-payers free admission.” All admission fees collected are added to the IRC activities budget. Activities The IRC activities program, administered by vice president for Activities Planning Jim Smith, offers a variety of events, including 24 movies, each shown twice per weekend. There are also numerous beer blasts, and for the first time, Mr. Smith hopes to offer weekly coffee-houses at the Ellicott Complex to supplement the UUAB coffeehouses on the Main Campus. “The coffeehouses offer a relaxed evening during the week during which students can unwind,” he said. Additional services available to members include buses to hockey games and discount tickets to concerts. In addition to its role as an activities organization, IRC sees itself as a dormitory government whose aim is to improve the environment of the dorms. To learn the problems and interests of dorm residents, Lee Weber IRC president Leigh Weber is currently holding meetings with student groups from each dorm. Although he has received varied responses, he is convinced that the overall effects of the meetings will be positive. Busing Busing is a primary concern of dorm residents at the North Campus. The busing situation also affects Main Street residents whose classes are scheduled in the Fillmore Academic Center at Ellicott. Mr. Weber is now working with Roger Frieday, whose office handles University busing. “The busing schedule is below adequate,” explained Mr. Weber, echoing the sentiments of many residents stranded at bus stops. But he added, “We are doing the best with the money we now have, and will be looking for support from various segments of the University community.” The buses presently run Monday through Thursday from 7 a.m. to 11:35 p.m., Sunday STEM featuring: JOHN KAY, GOLDY McJOHN, JERRY EDMONTON, GEORGE BIONDO and BOBBY COCHRAN NIAGARA FALLS CONVENTION CENTER SUN., SEPT. 3M4:30 P.M. $5.00 ADVANCE — $6.00 AT THE DOOR Sal* Now At International Con.

Mr. Weber’s recent discussions with Food Service have resulted in more manageable food lines at Ellicott. “Food Service has been pretty responsive,” he maintained. Every dormitory section will have its own Area Council. These “miniature IRC’s” will administer autonomous activities programs and bu4gets for their particular areas. Funded by IRC, the Area Councils will hold elections on September 24. The University Housing Office has reportedly agreed to give the four officers in each Area Council half the cost of their room free as a stipend. Mr. Weber fears that some problems may arise with the Area Councils at the Ellicott Complex. IRC must contend with organized residential Colleges, each with its own interna] government. “We must incorporate and adapt to the colleges something that wasn’t done in the past,” he said. - WGRO FM 97 PRESENTS THE ORIGINAL AT THE from 10 a.m. to 11:35 p.m., Saturday from 8 a.m. to 1:50 a.m., and Friday from 7 a.m. to 1:50 a.m. IRCB Inter-Residence Council Businesses, Inc. (IRCB), not-for-profit service organization, is responsible for operating the IRC grocery stores, refrigerator rentals and plane flights. IRCB presently operates two grocery stores, one in the Goodyear-Clement tunnel and the other in the Governors’ Complex. A third will shortly be opening in the Ellicott Complex. Geoffrey Levin, director of Operations for IRCB, has high hopes for the store in Ellicott which will be located near the bus loop in Porter Quadrangle. The store will be open from 12 p.m. to 2 a.m. Sunday Thursday and 12 p.m. to 3 a.m. Friday and Saturday. Applications for store jobs are open to any IRC fee-payer and are available in the IRC office. The major difficulty for Mr. Levin this year has been renting refrigerators. IRCB has 700 refrigerators, ranging in size from 1.8 cu. ft. to 3.0 cu. ft. Only 350 have been all to IRC fee-payers. With the demand rented thus far down and thousands of dollars tied up In the remaining units, Mr. Levin has opened rentals to all dormitory residents. For further information, contact the IRC office in person or call 831-4715. Other IRCB services include discount vacation plane flights and semester bicycle rentals. — — Grade options to be reviewed by Faculty Senate Committee The Faculty-Senate Executive Committee will explore the issue of pass/fail (S/U) grading at its next meeting Charles Ebert, Dean of the Division of Undergraduate Education (DUE), was recently contacted by several department chairmen, including Provost Rollo Handy of the Faculty of Educational Studies, requesting changes in the grading options for certain courses. Some pass/fail Some faculty members in Educational Studies felt that due to the nature of some courses, they should be restricted to the pass/fail option. They argued that teaching courses should not be subject to the standard A-B-C-D-F grading system. Other department chairmen have also contacted Dean Ebert, requesting permission to require students majoring in their departments to take all departmental courses with only standard letter grades. Both requests were turned down by Dr. Ebert in accordance with official University policy which allows the student to be the sole determinant of the grading option for any course. A student may not take more than 25% of his courses pass/fail. Some departments have effectively been evading official University policy. Certain instructors have reportedly controlled class grading by threatening to fail anyone who requested an option opposed by the instructor. To gain entrance to a department, a student may be asked to achieve a grade point average in a specified list of courses, thus preventing the students from taking courses pass/fail. — Cell Buffalo—71B-BM-231 (/Niagara Falls—7IS-2TS-B130 far farther lafonaatiea a martin onrot, inc. production Lehman Fellowships The State Education Department has announced that 30 New York State Herbert H.

Mr. QZoccolillo claimed h received 10 to 15 calls a day from neighborhood women to who protested the fact that he was showing Throat were judgment women On Zoccolillo’s Mr. women. other not permitted to see the film. The exclusion led to an injunction by the New York Civil Liberties Union and the Granada was eventually opened to the general public again. "Did he really receive 10. calls a day, Mr. Basford?” “No, no, it was just a publicity stunt but he blew it.” by diaries Blaise Spectrum Staff Writer A friend of mine asked what I had planned for the weekend. “I have to get over to the Granada Theater.” “Heh, Heh, Heh.” (It was a dirty little sneer.) “Why arc you laughing?” “The Granada Theater, huh? The Gra-nad-da, huh? Heh, heh, heh.” “It’s cleaned lip, Fred.” “It is?” Once the den of the hardest of hard core pornography. Main Street’s Granada Theater has changed its image from Marilyn Chambers to Minnie Mouse. The theme is now family entertainment, with an X-er thrown in once in a while to attract the old audience. The change was sudden. The legendary Deep Throat concluded its eleventh week on August 28, and a black domestic comedy “Uptown, Saturday Night” premiered the following day. I wanted to find out why. “How?” “He let women in for free, the first two days after the injunction, and business dropped.” Ah, for the old days lately. Business has not been too good for the Granada Attendance has dropped from a high of 1500 per week during the pornography showings to about 900. Mr. Basford is planning a discount day (admission $1 to $1.50), and a Ladies Day that will hopefully not bring the troubles his predecessor had. The audience has changed also. In the old days, 80% of the afternoon crowd consisted of businessmen. The evening shows brought middleclass couples and dirty old men. “Let’s just say there were a lot of your less fortunate males,” said Mr. Basford. The Granada is able to advertise more freely now. Mr. Basford indicated it was tough dealing with the film exchanges that have discriminated against the Granada’s old image. By the beginning of next year, the Granada expects to acquire first-run films. - For the curious Yes, it was the first time I had ever been to the Granada. The “You must be 21” restriction was always enforced and I wasn’t legal until last month. Besides, the $5 admission was just too much (now it’s only $2.50). The outh oriented movie, “Pink Floyd,” was playing when I went to talk to Dick Basford, the Granada’s manager. “The theater was sold,” Mr. Basford said. “Is that why the Granada cleaned-up?” “Well, it had to do with the new law that went into effect on September 1st.” “The drug law?” 1 asked stupidly. “No, there’s a new definition of obscenity in the law, including and defining simulated soft core.” In other words, the courts were cracking down on even the cleanest of the dirty movies. Mr. Basford obviously meant to upgrade the quality of his entertainment and avoid the legal entanglements that come with showing pomo flicks. “Whatever happened to Italo Zpccolillo?” Give me a B-U-S-T The Granada has been busted 37 times in two years. A double feature. School Girls and The Nurse , was confiscated by the Buffalo Solaticious Literature Squad 24 times in eight weeks. The constant publicity kept the lines forming around the Granada for weeks. “I have no intention of playing something that could Mr. Basford declared. busted,” get “What happens when someone comes to the Granada Funds allocated for water treatment plan by Joseph Esposito City Editor The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has allocated almost $2.5 million for the construction of water treatment facilities for Angola and portions of Hamburg, Evans, Eden and North Collins, in southern Erie County. According to Congressman Jack Kemp (R., Hamburg), the federal funds are a supplement to-more than $6.5 million approved by EPA in June 1973 for construction of water pollution control projects in Erie County Sewer District No. 2. “It is supplemental money we requested from EPA to compensate for the effects of inflation and the resultant higher costs of water treatment facilities,” Mr. Kemp said. The facilities now under construction were planned on the basis of population projections for the next 25 years, explained Robert R. Martens of the Erie County Public Works Department. EPA funds total $193 million The latest grant makes the total EPA funds $ 193 million for three ongoing federally-assisted water treatment projects. Mr. Martens attributed the delays in building the facilities to a number of complex factors, including fund impoundments by ex-President Nixon and delays in readying the project plans amj receiving the federal grants. He estimated that approximately $600 million of work remains to be done on water treatment projects in Erie and Niagara Counties, with projects worth around $ 100 million currently under construction. Costs shared The federal EPA grant constituted 75% of the funds for construction. New York State and Erie County will contribute evenly the remaining costs of the water treatment facilities. “Thi* kind of federal responsiveness not only addresses itself to the effects of inflation upon our local community," Congressman Kemp stated, “but it additionally assures unprecedented progress in our community’s cooperative efforts to clean up our environment, to provide many needed jobs in our construction industry and to provide tremendous new opportunities for future physical and economic development.” In August, Congressman Kemp announced the approval of an EPA grant of $37.5 million for construction of the District 16 sewage treatment plant in Amherst. He called that fund approval “a vital and most welcome step forward in helping to implement the U.S.-Canada, Nixon-Trudeau Water Quality Treaty,” which was negotiated in 1973 "HI FI for beginner and enthusiasts” nrol now in 6 week course beginning Sept. 24.

Long-range plans call for approximately 9000 units to be built, mainly for middle and upper-middle class residents. Although Audobon’s units will include subsidized apartments as well as $70,000 homes, only “a very tiny percentage a maximum of two percent of the whole development can be as low as public housing income limits,” said Wolfagang Rosenberg, public affairs director for the project. The few rental town houses and garden apartments where subsidies are being considered will have their maintenance supervised by a local community association, Mr. Rosenberg explained. — — Middle and high-income UDC planners fear too much public notice about the subsidized units will repel the middle and high-income customers who should comprise more than 70 percent of CLEAN USED Carpeting All sizes over 75 rugs - Good Condition $5 S15 Excellent Condition$10- 35 - ALLEN Carpet Cleaning 3780 Harlem Rd. 8 am — 6 pm 4400. Audobon’s inhabitants. Development director Joseph B. Lynch blamed the Nixon Administration for making it impossible for people with limited incomes to get federal mortgage subsidies to buy homes. Mr. Lynch feels that an administration “more attuned to housing” could make homes available to low income groups in Audobon before completion of the project. The “planned unit development” will include 2200 acres for residential use as well as land for commercial centers. It is hoped that many of the negative features of unplanned development will be avoided through careful direction by UDC. Variety of dwellings Other subsidized units will rent for 25 percent of the tenant’s income, after the deduction of $300 for each dependent. Units of this type will comprise ten per cent of all subsidized units. Single family dwellings in Audobon will command high prices, similar to those already common in the Amherst area. However, Mr. Rosenberg said that because of the availability of such housing options as the two-bedroom town houses in the upper-$20,000 range, along with garden-apartment-type condominiums in the low and mid-twenties, a wider range of people will be able to live in the Audobon community. The highest concentration of units are planned for the area around the new campus to provide for the influx of University personnel. “Audobon should provide for the deans and provosts as well as the cafeteria workers,” Mr. Rosenberg said. “We develop the land and the site amenities, do all the planning and zoning and provide some of the financing,” Mr. Lynch said. “We’re selling an over-all concept. The selling and renting are to be done by the builder the guy who comes in and gets a piece of the land.” - Discouraging strip development Commercial development along highways is one factor UDC will attempt to control, and innovations like shared parking lots will be encouraged. Since the UDC is not for profit, it can do things which private developers might find impossible, Mr. Lynch said, like providing parks, recreation facilities and school sites. Development of the project, which will occupy an area four and one-half miles north from Maple Road and one and three-quarter miles wide from Sweet Home Road to Campbell, is expected to accelerate to an acceptable pace only three or four years from now. Mr. Rosenberg said is was probable that 300 units would be built next year and 400 the year after, but noted that there was a “limit to the control you have on the situation.” Apartments are now available for $181 for a two-bedroom unit, $203 for three bedrooms, and $219 for four bedrooms, according to Dennis M. Penman, property manager for M.J. Peterson Sales Corp. in the Town of Tonawanda. For a family to be eligible for reduced rents, its adjusted income must be below $6480 for one person on a scale that ranges up to $11,610 for a family of 10. Adjusted income is usually about five percent less than total income. President institutes Clemency Board by Clem Colucci Special Features Editor President Gerald R. Ford announced Monday the creation of a Presidential Clemency Board to review the cases of Vietnam-era conscientious objectors, draft evaders and military deserters. The plan makes alternative service a matter of Presidential discretion not require any and does admission of wrongdoing. Former New York Senator Charles E. Goodell will serve as chairman. The Board, to be composed of nine Presidential appointees, will examine the cases of all who apply for Executive clemency before January 31, 1975. Its jurisdiction extends over all applicants who violated the relevant sections of the Military Selective Service Act or the Uniform Code of Military Justice between August 4, 1964 and March 28, 1973. Applicants presently serving prison sentences, who have been convicted only of draft-related violations and have no outstanding criminal charges against them, shall at the new Jewish Center 2600 North Forest Road (opposite SUNYAB Amherst Campus) Fall Term Evening Courses Begin on THURSDAY.

This includes but does not require “clemency conditioned upon a period of alternative service in the national interest.” The Board’s recommendations are advisory and President Ford has final authority to accept, reject or modify them. In announcing the plan, President Ford set a maximum of 24 months of alternative service for anyone who receives clemency. The service would include work in hospitals, with for handicapped and the environmental protection groups. Reaction to the plan came slowly. As The Spectrum went to press, the only major statement came from chairman Goodell who defended the plan as “totally non-punitive in nature.” - - COLLEGE OF JEWISH STUDIES be priority consideration. The will hear all panel clemency applications and decide each on its own merits. It will The 48-year-old Goodell, now of a Washington law firm, is ah old friend of Mr. Ford’s from their days in the House of Representatives. He, along with former Congressmen Melvin Laird of Wisconsin and Robert Griffin of Michigan, helped engineer Mr. Ford’s rise to power in the House’s Republican leadership, Mr. Ford’s culminating in a member replacing Republican Charles Halleck as hard-liner Minority Leader in 1 965. Mr. Goodell, a Jamestown Congressman with a moderate voting record, was appointed by former Governor Nelson A. Rockefeller to fill out the unexpired Senate term of Robert F. Kennedy after the Senator was assassinated in 1968. He moved considerably to the left and broke with the Nixon administration over the Vietnam war. When he ran for re-election in by 19 70, he was defeated Conservative Party candidate James L. Buckley who ran with open White House support. He returned to private law practice. Although frozen out of the Nixon administration, he maintained good relations with Mr. Ford and has often been mentioned as part of the new President’s “kitchen cabinet.” Hey Fella — - Asst.

Paae five �Mock trials bridge law theory and practice gap proceedings. “We don’t want lawyers,” he emphasized. People who can closely identify with the real witnesses of a case are usually selected as mock-witnesses. For example, if the case involved a pharmacist indicted on a malpractice suit, Mr. Frye would summon a student from the School of Pharmacy. Many of the cases enacted in the trials are taken directly from “Trial Diplomacy,” a text used by members of the class. The results of these cases are never revealed in the text and are left to the ability of the “lawyers.” Occasionally, judges and lawyers make errors in the text which students may openly criticize. Mr, Frye said students were urged to give unabashed criticism in class to learn as much as they could from trial techniques. The jury can be openly questioned on the performance and effectiveness of a particular lawyer. Sparky Alzamora Campus Editor United States Supreme Court Chief Justice Warren Burger recently warned the .American Bar Association that there were not enough trial lawyers. Law schools, he claimed, tend to stress the out-of-court aspects of the law, without properly emphasizing a solid trial-technique program. For the past 15 years, however, the State University at Buffalo Law School has offered its students the opportunity to participate in a mock trial program that “bridges the gap between the reality of practicing and the theory learned in law school,” according to Maurice Frey, professor of Law at the John Lord O’Brian Law School. The program was originally considered an activity, but is now being offered as a four-credit course entitled “Trial Techniques.” UB first “More and more law schools have incorporated a course of this type,” said Mr. Frey, explaining that it originated at this University. The mock trial program is not 100% reality, Mr. Frye said, but it gives students a “taste” of what to expect. “Very often, a kid comes out of law school and doesn’t know what to do. He goes into the courtroom and doesn’t even know where to sit.” Activities in the course include jury selection, opening statements, direct and cross examination of witnesses and summations. There are no lectures. The 64 students who take the course (most are was seniors) are divided into 8 sections, each taught by one instructor. All instructors are lawyers who have had considerable experience in trial cases and they all boast excellent reputations. “Students are really enthusiastic about their teachers and the experience they get,” Dr. Frye said. “We want to give them an experience that will be challenging and with which they’ll gain confidence.” Each section is further divided into for the prosecution and two for the defense in criminal cases, while the remaining four serve as lawyers for the plaintiff and the defendant during civil cases The jury is made up of non-law students. Mr. Frye indicated that law students who sit on a jury are known for continually arguing law during the trial two lawyers Order in the court On the 7th of December, each section of lawyers will occupy Buffalo’s courtrooms and perform a mock trial, presided over by actual city judges. At the trial's conclusion, the judge will take notes on the lawyer’s performance and give them to the class instructor who will determine a student’s semester grade. So far, the only problem in conducting the class has been a shortage of witnesses and jury members. “I want to try to involve the community,” Mr. Frye said. He expects that sociology and psychology students would naturally be interested in the whole trial setup. Students interested in participating in the mock trials should contact Mr. Frye at 636-2071.

Finally, in 1968, under mounting public pressure. Ford went along with it. by Paul Krehbiel Contributing Editor President Ford’s announcement to consider a blanket pardon for the Watergate criminals and defendants, in the wake of his complete pardon of his former boss, Richard Nixon, provoked a storm of protest from all sectors of the unionists, Congressional American public. Trade representatives, students, peace organizations and others, expressed strong opposition to Ford’s unilateral decision-making. When Mr. Ford took over the Presidency proclaiming that, “our long national nightmare is over,” the majority of Congress and our nation’s press praised him and looked forward to his new administration. Yet few took time to see that Ford’s political beliefs and record, expressed most clearly through his Congressional voting, is almost identical , Nixon’s. Ford, like Nixon, favors sinking billions of taxpayer dollars into war production and cutting back funds for all social services. Besides Ford’s personal loyalty to Nixon, they both share a very conservative kinship that has existed for 30 years. to Richard Nixonian thinking In 1973, Ford voted to support every Nixon veto the House considered, and supported Nixon on 80% of the House votes which Nixon took a position on. His most marked difference with Nixon was that he opposed all bills to divert highway funds for the construction of mass transit systems. In the 1950’s and 1960’s, Ford voted against most of the legislation that earmarked funds for social services. He also opposed federal aid to education, voted against federal help for state water pollution programs, and opposed the founding of the Office of Economic Opportunity and Medicare. Ford has opposed many civil rights bills, although he was pressured by public sentiment into signing the Civil Rights Act of 1964, after attempting to water it down. He supported racial discrimination in 1966 by opposing open University of Buffalo MUSIC DEPT. /SSiSu Vietnam support In 1967, while hundreds of thousands of Vietnamese were being bombed with napalm. Ford stood up on the House floor and complained, “Why are we pulling our best punches in Vietnam?” He criticized President Johnson for not stepping up the war against the Vietnamese. As a member of the Defense Appropriations subcommittee for many years, Ford has consistently fought to give the Defense Department all the aid it requested. He fought against any legislation to end the war and has repeatedly supported Nixon in his bombing of Indochina. He backed up his support of war by favoring a wide range of activities designed to crush the anti-war movement. A 1968 amendment to cut off federal aid to “disruptive” students who engaged in campus demonstrations had Ford’s full support. When the Nixon Administration rounded up 12,000 anti-war demonstrators at the 1971 May Day rally in Washington, beating and tear-gasing many, Ford gave this governmental repression his complete support. Little change With a history like this, the American people can expect little change in the Ford Administration. Threats and preparation for war, attacks on the living standards of American workers, youth and elderly, repression of progressive movements, and erosian of racial equality and Nelson is probably the most hated human being in Latin America, Africa and Asia for his role in destroying popular progressive movements and for his support of repressive right-wing governments. He is a member of a family that grew in power and wealth by repressing workers in their demands for basic necessities. This has usually taken the form of buying out other companies. Some organizations are calling for the indictment of Nixon on criminal charges, the canning of Ford, and for new elections. Perhaps this would keep the most conservative politicians and the most powerful monopolists out of the highest offices in the country, so the American people can build the kind of organizations and leaders who will defend their interests. democracy can be expected from the man who urged the American people to replace “voting with praying,” In addition to Ford’s own political record, perhaps the most important signal of what we can expect from the present administration comes from the record of his vice presidential appointee, Nelson Rockefeller.

While there are still many conscientious landlords in the area, a few have allowed their apartments to deteriorate to a point where they violate Buffalo housing and property codes. Students renting these apartments at high rates have been known to encounter sagging floors, weak porch $ppports, plumbing violations and electrical hazards, and complaints to landlords often seem to go periods of fall upon deaf ears '! £ V-' ' ; V time. could be done Until recently, appeared that about negligent landlords because the majority of complaints were being lodged individually. But the current investigation by the Mayor's Court Task Force, which has already uncovered numerous violations, has made it more likely than ever before that many landlord abuses will finally be brought to light and corrected. For the first time, organized groups of people are making active efforts to ensure that landlords no longer take advantage of tenants. Dozens of interviews with students and neighborhood people have already been conducted, and city inspectors have spent many hours scrutinizing allegedly ?■ substandard apartments. In order for the Task Force to fully succeed however, students who feel they have been abused by their landlord in terms of lease, heating, plumbing, electrical or structural maintenance must make sure they contact University District Councilman Bill Price. Continued cooperation from students is absolutely necessary if any check is to be placed on landlords who have violated their rights. No amnesty from injustice his earned re-entry President Ford's "act of mercy" military deserters era Vietnam draft evaders and program for of this a further extension can only be considered morally The most country's Unequal dispensation of justice. heinous aspect of the Ford plan is its requirement that those who refused to kill and strafe in Indochina take an oath of allegiance to the United States. If anything, their refusal on ethical grounds to participate in the mass annihilation of Asians for the vaguely-defined political objective of "stopping Communism" was an act of allegiance to a morality sorely lacking in those governmental leaders who unquestioningly supported the war. Taking such an oath would be synonymous with embracing the ethics that allowed Richard Nixon to secretly bomb and burn peasant villages, enabled him to squirm away from his punishment, and now threatens to dispense selective justice to Haldeman, Ehrlichman, and the rest of that band of felons. It would be preposterous to imagine Henry Kissinger spending a couple of years in some hospital kitchen for personally directing policies that he knew would lead to the brutal torture of thousands of Chileans. Equally absurd is the thought of Nixon working as a janitor for a few months to prove his allegaince to the country he morally ransacked every day of his Presidency. Supporters of the Ford plan have also praised its guarantees that those who turn themselves in will be treated strictly on the merits of their own individual cases. What this essentially does, however, is allow hundreds of separate attorneys and military panels to bring their diverse philosophies to bear on how long an individual must undergo compulsory alternative service. Some attorneys will obviously be more punitive than others, and different panels will want to hand out different "sentences." Furthermore, those with family influence or other connections will have a greater chance of being treated leniently. The more Gerald Ford attempts to rekindle faith in our institutions, the more he makes us painfully aware of the fact that two completely distinct systems of law are operating in this country. — — Page eight. The Spectrum . Wednesday, 18 September 1974 defendant John Hill was misquoted in an interpretation he made of the Symbionese Liberation Army’s (SLA) use of a dragon to symbolize “imperialism and governmental corruption.” Mr. Hill was merely explaining that it frorr here was the SLA's belief that this symbolic dragon should be grabbed by its head and killed, in response to a question from a reporter. However, we incorrectly printed that this was Mr. Hill’s belief when in fact he meant to convey only the belief of the SLA. We apologize to Mr. Hill for the error. to ther by Garry Wills When Ramsey Clark wandered diffidently around the edges of the New York Democrats’ State Convention, his race for the Senate seemed a Eugene McCarthy gesture of “conscience” as distinguished from reality. He was a recently transplanted Texan, and the butt of even Nixon’s rare bits of wry humor. He was thought of as a mile Jane Fonda. And to top it all, he said he would accept no contribution from any one source higher than one hundred dollars. Last Tuesday’s primary election proved that he is not just a prima donna like McCarthy or a political naif like Ms. Fonda. He accomplished an impossible task by winning the Democratic primary, and faces another impossibility in the race against Senator Javits. He is, nonetheless, and always has been a politician. It is interesting that we have reached the stage where passionate concern for justice is almost enough in itself to disqualify one from consideration as a politician. Clark grew up in politics, and in Texas politics to boot. He acquired his reputation as a “softy” by being tough enough to go against J. Edgar Hoover when he was the Attorney general. Bobby Kennedy, for all his competitive instincts, never got up the nerve to do that. (It is interesting that Clark’s campaign manager, Victor Navasky, is the best-informed critic of Kennedy’s performance as Attorney General.) Clark’s record as Attorney General will someday be seen as one of the most important factors in he gave the recent history. It is not spotless Mitchell Justice Department undue cause to hope for a wild conspiracy convictions by bringing and winning the first such case against Dr. Spock, the Rev. Coffin, and others. The Catonsville defendants were convicted during his reign. Mitchell not only lost all his anti-dissident trials, but destroyed - organized crime cases begun under Clark by carelessly illegal wiretapping procedures. Clark’s record on organized crime was an admirable one. But his greatest contribution was to the quieting of urban war. The 1967 riots all spread from local irritations to which policemen overreacted. During the winter of 1967-1968, Clark’s Justice Department ran training programs, seminars, meetings, teaching police chiefs and lawmen how to contain and head off riots. With the exception of the brief spasm after Dr. King’s assassination, the summer of 1968 had no major race riots despite severe provocation (like the Chicago convention). Clark, more than any other single man, deserves credit for that. His problem is that he is almost too good to be believed. The “log cabin” air about his campaign was not adopted for TV consumption. It is part of his life, which shows constant concern for the poor. John Lindsay, campaigning in Wisconsin in 1972, found a certifiable lower middle-class home which he could visit for a night, sleeping photogenically on the living room couch. Clark, while defending the Harrisburg victims of Mitchell’s Mr. conspiracy -hunt, slept on such a couch for months, living with the moneyless-defendants, doing household chores, keeping peace in a fractious community, showing no ego himself in the handling of several overgrown egos. He is the only living politician I know who can without silliness be compared to Abraham Lincoln. The comparison is, indeed, almost inevitable. The same rough background and political savvy, paired with an incongrously sensitive personality. Clark has nurtured, perhaps, by an acute sense of tragedy affection for his retarded daughter which does not disable him from trying the impossible. For it is impossible to beat a practiced smoothie like Jacob Javits, who is everything to everyone. Or is it? - - Misinformed charges To the Editor. We are sorry to set the misinformed letter from David Tompkins in Friday’s issue of The Spectrum. He complains of 1) being charged $1.00 for admission to the film “Lucia,” which was shown on campus Sept. 2 and by being subjected to anti-American propaganda in the introductory statement made before the film by one of its sponsors, the Buffalo Committee for Chilean Democracy. He further complains that the advertising for the film had led him to believe it was free. of his own pocket. 2) The fact that the film was sponsored by the Committee for Chilean Democracy was not a secret, but was amply published in a flyer about the film which we posted around the campus. The film was shown as part of Chile Solidarity Week. 3) As for the “childish nature” of the anti-American propaganda, perhaps Mr. Tompkins should read The New York Times, Sept. 8, where it is disclosed that the CIA contributed $8 million to the overthrow of the Aliende government in Chile between 1970-1973. The same lies and travesties that we have experienced from the U.S. government during Vietnam and Watergate we have gotten about the O.S. involvement in Chile. It will be remembered that U.S. officials piously denied any intervention in Chile during public hearings in October 73 shortly For the information of Mr. Tompkins: 1) A large banner was put up in Norton Union the Tuesday morning before the film, announcing the admission price of $1.00. Furthermore, at the film itself, it was announced that the reason we after the military coup. charged admission was that the film cost $250 to get Finally, such propaganda, which is merely a and we were trying to get that money back.

In an urban area such as Buffalo, a good portion of the family physician’s time is spent counselling his patients. Four out of every five cases treated at Deaconness involve emotional disturbances. A significant amount of counselling training is therefore included in the program there. The family physician makes it his business to know what kinds of counselling are available in the community. He usually maintains contact with parish priests, welfare social workers, psychologists, school counsellors and psychiatrists. by Sue Black Staff Writer Spectrum What has happened to the legendary country doctor? the one who knows your name without having to look it up, who is a good friend of your mother and father, brothers, sisters, neighbors and teachers. Known in the medical profession as the primary care physician, the percentage of these physicians decreased from 76% to 16% of the nation’s doctors between 1945 and 1972. Most observers attribute medical, social the decrease to a lack of prestige profession. specialty-oriented and economic a in In an attempt to correct the increasing imbalance, the AMA (American Medical Association) and the American Academy of Family Physicians created a special “Family Practice,” in 1969. The medical student can still become a General Practitioner after one year of internship, but those who want further training can now enter one of the two-year Family Practice residency programs that are springing up around the nation. - — - Specialized treatment The family physician is trained to diagnose the patient’s illness, treat it or refer the patient to specialists in the area, and, as part of his concern with continuity of care, administer the treatment under the direction of the specialist. Other concerns of the family physician are the economic conditions of the community, benefits available through insurance programs and medical care through government programs. The advantages of this new specialty include more personalized medical care, and a renewed interest in the interrelations of the physical and psychological aspects of health. This trend may also reflect an increasing interest on the part of medical school graduates for more personalized involvement with patients. Dr. Garra Lester ofChataqua, a past President of the American Academy of Family Physicians, believes that for economic, environmental and emotional reasons, more medical graduates will move to rural areas to find a more fulfilling practice and a better environment for raising a family. Local program The State University at Buffalo Medical School conducts a clinic at Deaconness Hospital, which involves 32 of these residents under the direction of Dr. Robert Sellers. Programs around the country vary according to regional needs but the philosophy behind the training is the same. “The family physician,” said Andy Kane, a third year resident at Deaconness, “must be interested in looking at the whole person, at the totality of the patient’s health.” This approach is designed to lead the family physician toward a concern with the total health of the family and the conditions in the community which could DAILY CROSSWORD PUZZLE Copr.

If you were not so busy celebrating your own you might have been able to answer the question and solve the biggest problem of the day. Anyway, HAPPY BIRTHDAY ! �Food Stamps Need determines eligibility by Howard Greenblatt Spectrum Staff Writer Students struggling to meet the expenses of a college education may be receive federally-funded Food Stamps. criteria have been liberalized in recent contrary to popular belief, one need not hardship case to receive such assistance. appointment, he may have to wait mounting eligible to Eligibility years, and be a severe An individual living alone with a maximum net monthly income of $194 after expenses qualifies for certification. (Rent, tuition, board, medication and other necessities are all deductable expenses.) $46 worth of food All eligible receive $46 per month. But the amount that an individual pays for stamps ranges from $0 to $36, depending on financial need. Parental income is not taken into consideration. The process of applying for Food Stamps often proves frustrating . After a client contacts the Erie County Social Services Food Stamps office for an as long as six weeks for an interview. If eligible, he must wait two more weeks to receive authorization to buy the stamps at a local bank. Since all authorizations are issued on the same day, recipients may face long lines at the bank. The entire process may have to be repeated if the Social Services Administration opts to re-evaluate the applicant at the next authorization period. Further advice One student who presently receives food stamps advised, “Make sure you bring bank books, phone bills, rent receipts and proof of other expenses and assets to the first appointment.” Receipts are essential if tuition is to be considered as a deductable expense. Students should have several hundred dollars cash available (but not much more) to demonstrate an ability to meet other financial responsibilities. The stamps were first introduced in early 1966 of the Johnson’s administrations war on Poverty. Benefits have increased steadily ever since. as part Sunshine House to improve services Activities within the Departipejit of Music,at the State University at Buffalo get underway this week (September 18) with the first of six Slee Beethoven String Quartet concerts, scheduled for the Mary Seaton Room, Kleinhans Music Hall this Wednesday evening, September 18th at 8:30 p.m. This will mark the first time that the Slee Cycle will be performed at Kleinhans and the move to the larger hall will accommodate an audience some three times as large as has been available on the University’s Main Street campus. This year, The Cleveland Quartet will again perform the entire Slee Cycle. The ensemble has just returned from a highly successful tour of England and is quartet-in-residence at the University. Wednesday evening’s concert will include the following Beethoven quartets: No. 12 in E flat major. Opus 127; No. 1 in F major, Opus 18; No. 1 and No. 9 in C major. Opus 59; No. 3 (“Rasumovsky”). The cycle is made available to the metropolitan Buffalo and University community through the generosity of the late Frederick and Alice Slee. Sunshine House, the State University at Buffalo’s crisis intervention center, recently entered its third year of helping students and community members cope with the problems of modern life. The center plans to continue its 24-hour, seven-day a week service. Located on 106 Winspear, Sunshine House was founded in the spring of 1971 as an Acid Rescue Center. Since then, drug crisis counseling has been supplemented by a broad range of other services, including emotional and other drug-related problems. Sunshine House volunteers are trained for crisis intervention, with special emphasis on sensitivity training. In addition, there is a doctor on call 24 hours a day, and referrals to other agencies are provided when necessary. Police agencies are never contacted and all matters are kept strictly confidential. Sunshine House is currently ■till iTS MK planning several projects to improve their service to a larger community, said Dave Corbin, Internal Project Head. Center members are looking into the possibility of a free, once a week medical clinic. A family counseling program to help resolve communications problems within families is also being Investigated. In addition, women volunteers are becoming involved with the Erie County Citizens Against Rape, a group which counsels rape victims. To ensure that the volunteers are properly equipped to handle the problems they might encounter, some will be trained by members of the National Drug Abuse Training Center in Washington, D.C. Some volunteers may also be sent to the Casaelya Center for additional sensitivity training. Applications will be taken from prospective volunteers until October 16, and training sessions will begin the following week. Anyone interested in working for Sunshine House should contact either Amy Rubin or Mark Goldfarb at 831-4046.

Periodic checks are made to chart each individual’s progress, and the exercise program is altered accordingly after each check. steam Keeping trim in posh country club environs by David J. Rubin Spectrum Staff Writer In the last decade, many Americans have realized that physical conditioning can lead to better health. Toward that end, they have jogged, run countless laps around tracks, consumed billions of vitamin tablets and embarked on dozens of different diets. One of the more recent developments in the fitness area is a phenomenon known as the “health spa.” Two or three times a week, many Americans journey to these well-equipped, richly appointed exercise rooms where they steam, bathe and roll their weight around until their excess pounds are either lost or relocated. Although the spas guarantee nothing, “four to six months of dedication can get an overweight / or underweight person into ideal form,” said Kevin Vandusen, an instructor at the European Health Spa on Sheridan Drive in Amherst. Even though people have lost forty pounds after only a couple of months at a spa, Vandusen maintains that quick weight loss is not a primary goal at the Spas. “We want the people to lose it slowly and healthfully,” he observed. here to provide facilities and help the $ want.” European Health Spa on Sheridan Drive relaxes in the pool after his workout. Adjacent to the pool is a variety of saunas and inhalation rooms.

Many doctors, while stressing the importance of good physical conditioning, warn patients that too much exercise of the wrong type can do more harm than good. F. Carter Pannill, vice president of the Faculty of Health Sciences, elaborated on that warning. “Fitness needs vary with sports short Tennis; September 14 Buffalo 9,'Gannon 0. Singles: Abbott def.

A list of goals with respect to weight and strength is drawn up. A doctor’s examination within the- last year is a requirement, and a temporary diet is put together after the information is compiled. In a short time, an exercise schedule is set up and a regular program is initiated. Depending upon the individual’s needs, the schedule could include work on stretchers, wrist machines, bench presses, or any of a host of exercise apparatus.

Vandusen said many businessmen stop in before and after work either for a shave or even a quick swim in the pool. He also noted that many senior citizens come down, not only to use the facilities, but to socialize as well. In fact, there seems to be no homogeneous group of people that goes to spas. Vandusen recommended the spa for anyone at all interested in improving their physical condition and commented that many current members “make it a habit.” improve the complexion.

Short term membership runs $234 per year, while long term membership is comparatively much cheaper. Members are entitled to unlimited use of the facilities. Obviously people are not joining spas because they think it’s a bargain. According to one member of the ‘spa set,’ “You could do just about as well in a weight room in a gym.” Yet the tremendous boom in the spa industry over the last few years means that the spas have something unique to offer. One spa goer said “motivation by association” and a “change in atmosphere” attracted him. Other members cited relaxation, getting in shape, vanity, physical fitness.

Its goals as an organization are twofold; 1. Community service 2. Independent practical education CAC operates on the premise that the effective utilization of University resources, i.e., student volunteers, can contribute to the alleviation of many symptoms of our an social problems. Also, we feel that only integration of many theoretically based classroom learning and practical community experience will a student realize full development. Thus, involving students in the community develops a reciprocal relationship beneficial to both. Essential to the realization of these goals, though, is commitment by the volunteer worker of both time and energy. CAC believes that the only way to institute real change within a community is to understand the complex connections between economic, political and social workings. CAC is therefore in a constant state of involving itself in and considering new facilities, services and contacts in the community, allowing us to further grasp the many obstacles that have to be an alive, on-going center for and all resources, materials, people and ideas. Below are some commonly asked qustions about CAC: I. Can I receive academic credit? Through two bulletin board courses, CAC offers credit to project heads and resource assistants. CAC also maintains a listing of faculty members who are willing to sponsor students for independent study. 2. How is CAC organized? CAC is structured into (1) projects, and (2) resource contacts. (1) Projects are ongoing, CAC organized activities in which groups of students identify objectives and act strategically to effect their purposes. (2) Resource contacts are available community established placements where a student worker can act on bis own, and be part of an organized group of people who are all working in the same service. Resource aides, as their part in the CAC organization, are constantly investigating and making new resource contacts in the community. 3. How much time is required for volunteer work? Although exceptions to the requirement can be found, the general time requirement is one semester and four hours per week. 4. Why should I volunteer through CAC? By %naintaining the diversified program of community projects and resources, CAC attempts to provide an outlet for students to express their interests and knowledge via community service. Often, we cannot predict every interest of every student. Consequently, CAC stresses that if a student’s individual needs are not reflected by the projects and resources in the brochure, he/sbe should still contact CAC to volunteer; CAC has contacts or resource aides will seek out additional resource contacts to provide the student with the opportunity to work in the community. Furthermore, since all of the CAC projects in the community conduct ongoing, well organized, and planned activities, the liklihood of serious mistakes, failures and frustrations is greatly reduced. CAC is geared toward and structured by the needs of its volunteers. The organization arranges transportation for students, either by using the CAC van, arranging car pool, or reimbursing volunteers for transportation expenses. CAC supports the volunteers by coordinating orientation sessions and in-service training seminars; these are to provide some prospective on the nature of the problems in the community. The following are detailed descriptions of the seven program areas of CAC. For more information, or to volunteer, Community Action Corps can be contacted at Room 345 Norton Hall, SUNY at Buffalo, New York 14214; or call 831-5595 or 831-3609. Please join us. �* • are not, why aren’t the law* being enforced? What is needed most, however, is initiative and creativity and we welcome any constructive ideas for active projects. Action Program Advocacy Rapid Page two Community Action Corps Fall Programs 1974 . the United Cerebral Palsy Western New York Peace Center The Western New York Peace Center is a community organization which promotes programs and local activities concerned with peace and social justice. The Center’s programs include; working to end continuing U.S. involvement in Indochina; providing medical relief for war victims; working for an unconditional amnesty; participating in a national campaign to stop the funding of the Air Force’s $50-billion B-l bomber program. The major emphasis of this latter program involves advocating the need to convert our social, economic and political system to one which is based on peace and human dignity. In this respect, the Peace Center works with local community groups to re-order national priorities so that human and social needs here in the Niagara Frontier are better served by our tax dollars. Students are needed to work with Peace Center task forces and to organize campus events for the university community. Given imagination, persistence, and interest in non-violent peace and social justice traditions, opportunities for learning and meaningful volunteer work are unlimited. change. Environmental Action In an attempt to come to grips with the problems facing us in ecology, and with a desire to curb the injustices done to our environment, this committee actively seeks student input to work with the university and community - in developing a stable relationship in a deteriorating society. Realizing the diverse areas which such a committee encompasses, we have directed our efforts to effecting positive social change through specific projects. In the past we have concentrated on glass, paper and Christmas tree recycling. Last semester a major effort dealt with the development of efficient bikeway routes throughout the city, and in particular on the Main Street and Amherst campuses. This upcoming semester will see an expansion into the field of furnace and chimney ingfwrion: Are Buffalo's major indistries adhering to the guidelines established for various pollutants? And if they Committee of Association There are many public buildings in Buffalo that are inaccessible to handicapped people. One prime example is City Hall. There are no building codes which require changes to be made inexisting buildings to make them readily accessible to handicapped people. One goal of the Advocacy Committee is to support legislation that would benefit physically handicapped people, as well as to come up with ideas for new laws. Presently, the group is involved with changing building codes, so that all public buildings will have facilities for the physically handicapped. Volunteers will work along with handicapped adults, helping in the actual legal process, as well as being there to give moral support. Some things they may be expected to do are; attend meetings, research laws and help write letters to legislators. This project offers interested students the opportunity to work with groups of people who have previously been discriminated against because of their not having a vocal representation in most building plans. - Women's Seif Help Clinic One aspect of the Women’s Movement is the establishment of self help clinics which are oriented toward the goal of enabling women to engage in preventive medicine and self-examiniation, especially in the area of gynecology. This idea was conceived to help relieve the feeling of helplessness and submissiveness women feel when a health problem materializes. Thwarted by the myth that medical institutions must have the monopoly in health concerns, we are working toward a sense of autonomy and a feeling that the individual can actively participate in self-help maintenance. No such clinic exists in Buffalo. Many women from university and community groups have been doing preliminary research into starting a clinic. Volunteers are needed to continue ongoing research, and make contact with the university community. Research can also be done in specific areas, such as nutrition, which will expand the knowledge and service of the clinic. Students are needed who are reliable and committed to working on this idea. and, working with the community, assess the needs for a certain area. Research also needs to be done concerning Buffalo laws for planning parks. Hopefully, with this information action can be taken to propose plans for the city to implement. Introduction If the Community Action Corps is to be an effective community force, it must aim a substantial part of its energy toward achieving an awareness of the scope of situations with which it is dealing, and of course, toward positive social change. The task of helping people, whether it be in terms of tutoring a child or caring for the aged, is valid. But, if it is seen as the only goal or the final goal, then CAC has failed even before it has begun. If we are satisfied with looking at surface problems and solving surface problems, we are merely satisfying ourselves, perpetuating a corrupt system, and using the unfortunate circumstances of others to build up our own public image. Action projects are concerned with current issues in the community. Often these issues are complicated in nature and long range in effects. It must be realized that an Action volunteer will not be able to “change the world” in a semester, however, through research, working in conjunction with community groups, internships, and self-initiated projects, students in the Action area seek to more clearly define issues, educate, gain experience in the field, and work toward the goal of effecting positive social Transit Task Force With the proposeal for a Buffalo-Amherst rapid transit corridor, many community factors have come to the front. How will rapid transit affect this university and the entire social setting? Are business interests going to dictate the needs of the community at the expense of social environmental concerns? The university is planning to move the majority of its facilities to the new North' Campus in Amherst. This past semester extensive research was undertaken to assess student travel and housing patterns in order to determine the impact rapid transit will have on the daily lives of future students. In particular, an emphasis was placed on the transit fare; whereas a free inter-campus transport system exists now, it seems that future students will be faced with yet another expense in obtaining a college education. In addition, we have actively supported No Overhead Transit (NOT) and other community groups in their struggle toward the creation of a humanly efficient and neighborhood-conscious transit system. This upcoming semester we hope to sit down with the SUNYAB administration and the Niagara Frontier Transit Authority (NFTA) and work out an equitable solution for a just fare with regard to student patronage. Interested students are needed to do further research, monitor the decisions being made about rapid transit, assist local groups, and educate the student community. ' Buffalo Environmental Management Commission. They will research land to be used for possible park development Creative Social Planning The Village of Kenmore is building a 10-story apartment complex for fully mobile elderly people. Before the building is opened next year, many aspects must be looked into so that the people will feel comfortable and also get the best possible services. Some things to be looked into are; where the people are coming from, their reactions to the neighborhood and building, investigating existing services, and determining needed ones. Hopefully we will be able to provide the people with exciting ideas of things to do to help insure that they don’t experience the feeling of alienation that can come from high rises. Creative volunteers are needed to help gather background information and synthesize everything into interesting ideas and plans. We will be working withthe Kenmore Housing Authority which has expressed a sincere interest in the welfare of these people. Volunteers are expected to come to meetings and to be willing to put in several hours of work a week. Energy Council The CAC Energy Council is a newly formed project, adopted this past semester as a means of dealing with the present energy crisis. We are basically concerned with two things: community'education and examining present and future energy techniques. Council members will hopefully be available to speak to local groups on any aspect of energy, with the onjective of making the public aware of the variou energy forms. In conjunction with other concerned energies, we will be setting up experimental energy devices on about 12 acres of land called Ecolation Park, to be donated by the New York State Parks Department. Students and faculty with a background in the energy field are particularly engouraged to get involved, but anyone concerned with the energy crisis is welcome to work in either program. Open Spaces There are many areas of land in Buffalo, owned by the dty, that are not being used for anything. Instead of allowing this space to go to waste, as has been done in the past, we wish to investigate die possibilities of creating parks and recreational areas to be used by the people who live nearby. Volunteers will be working in cooperation with the Urban Affairs Project The City of Buffalo is an excellent natural setting to study the wide spectrum of urban related problems. CAC, along with other university and community organizations, will undertake a major project that will attempt to grapple with foreclosed and abandoned houses and lots in the central city area. There are several communities in the city designated as "high-risk" areas by various banks and real estate agencies. Because of this stigma, it is almost impossible for people living there to get mortgage or home improvement loans. Any plans of improving their neighborhood are easily stifled. There is much preliminary research to be done and volunteers will be expected to seek out and organize information. One possible strategy involves forming a not-for-profit corporation to plan and develop the neighborhood. If this test project is successful, its effect on the city of Buffalo, as well as other metropolitan areas, will be significant In order to make it work, we desperately need people with interests in organization, law, planning, government, economics, and research. There is a possibility that university credit will be available to participants. For information, contact the CAC office. Community Internships One vision of CAC is to see the university as an integral part of the entire Buffalo community. We feel the university can offer a wealth of resources to assist in the social growth and development of the area. We also find that the community can provide students With the opportunity to apply classroom knowledge in a practical situation. By becoming intimately involved in working with one of the many social service agencies, student volunteers can develop a deeper understanding of the issues and problems in Buffalo as they relate to the people who are directly affected by them. These agencies specifically deal with legal problems, housing problems and general community assistance. Although still in its planning stage, this project seeks reliable volunteers for placement in an agency of their choice. Specific tasks may include researching topics, providing services to people, and assisting in the daily operations of the agency. Time arrangements are variable, but it is hoped that volunteers can devote approximately ten to fifteen hours a week. Hopefully independent study credit will be available. The potential for learning, as well as a rewarding personal experience, is unlimited. �CareProgram Day 1525 Millersport Highway KIDDIE KORAL Kiddie Koral, a day care center located near the Amherst campus, is a creative learning program geared to the interest level and growth needs of children 1l A to 5 years old. The center strives to promote sound physical, intellectual, social, and emotional growth of children during the early formative years. Volunteers are needed at anytime during the morning or afternoon and are encouraged to work at least two to four hours a week in order to become familiar with the unique environment of the center, staff members and children. Volunteers will take part in a brief orientation to the area of day care in general and of this particular program. Volunteers will work along with qualified staff members in helping to guide and instruct the children in their daily activities. A typical schedule involves such activities as arts and crafts, music, language arts, math concepts and reading readiness. Through their work, volunteers will learn how to plan instructional programs for children at this age level, and will also gain a greater knowledge of pre-school children, their problems and abilities. - NIAGARA DAY CARE CENTER 605 Niagara Street This is a racially integrated day care center caring for inner city children between the ages of two and five. At the center the volunteer is needed during the morning or afternoon periods in order to relieve the workload of the staff, but more importantly, to work closely with the - children. Thus the children receive much more individual attention, a necessity for the young child who might not ordinarily receive this attention. The structure of the Niagara Center is such that it provides the teachers and children with a basic guideline' to follow but is flexible enough to allow the volunteers to bring forward their own ideas and to do innovative and interesting things with the children. During the typical day the volunteer might help the children with a special project, read them a story or just generally assist the children in their various activities. In the 2-4 hours during which the volunteer works weekly, he will feel a sense of fulfillment at having done something that will reward him with the satisfaction of being needed and appreciated at a job that really requires doing. There is no formal orientation, just a chance for involvement in a worthwhile task. 455 WALLS MEMORIAL HEADSTART PROGRAM near Jefferson Avenue, Glenwood This program provides a widely varied learning situation for pre-schoolers and equips them with concepts which will be useful and necessary to their later educational experiences. Volunteers are needed to provide additional staff to better allow a one-to-one contact of child to adult and thus enable each child to receive the individual attention he needs. Objectives can be as far reaching as the individual volunteer would like since he is allowed to take on as much responsibility as he feels comfortable. The situation is flexible and therefore the commitments and attainments can be as flexible as working with an individual child to conducting the entire class in a given lesson or concept. As previously mentioned, the work of the volunteer - may vary constantly in each individual case. The center is open to new ideas and suggestions from volunteers and expect does not simply want babysitters, but people who s the children to increase helping involved in to be actively awareness. There is an expected commitment of three hours or more during which the volunteer can expect a great deal of personal fulfillment. Unlike other centers where volunteers are merely aides, Walls offers the volunteer an opportunity to try out his own ideas and to really get involved with the the volunteer is given tremendous freedom of children expression. The program may specifically appeal to students interested in early child education, child development or any other related area but is not restricted to any class of students nor are there any special requirements. There will be no training, only a brief orientation meeting. - PROJECT CONTACTS 87 Cayuga and Milton in CORNERHOUSE NURSERY Williamsville Contact Ms. Drinnan.

Drug and Youth Counseling Programs Drug Related: CAC volunteers in drug and youth counseling serve in a number of diverse and challenging positions in a wide variety of agencies. These range from a center for alcoholics on Buffalo’s "skid-row” to a crisis hotline that handles a spectrum of problems that would baffle "Marcus Welby”, to a shelter for runaway youths. The Drug and Youth Counseling resource aides will discuss with volunteers the pros and cons of each agency and aid the volunteer in selecting the appropriate position in which the volunteer can experience a growth in human education and become an effective community resource. The needs of these projects are continuous and demanding; all projects are in need of dedicated volunteers who must usually attend a training program that emphasizes counseling skills with special orientation to that center’s problems and clientele. Some projects demand 4 hours every week, some are not so stringent. All require a commitment for at least six months, many for a year. A partial listing of our agency contacts are 1.

Purpose of volunteers: by To carry out the goals and objectives of the project youth, for counseling personal information, providing adults and families; emergency counseling to help handle “bad trips,” violent or suicidal cases, and overdose cases; help the community to develop programs in alternatives to referral drug use, i.e., more art and/or drama groups; have problems, services for individuals and families who - questions or concerns about mental health services available in the Western New York area; to assist staff members in outreach work in the community, and to free staff members from center duties during counseling appointments and emergencies. Counseling will be primarily through phone contact in the form of crisis intervention. Volunteers must work at least one shift each week. Supervision will be provided. Erie County Rehab Center The Erie County Rehabilitation Center (Rehab Center) is a public shelter for the homeless and/or alcoholic men. The clientele range in age between 20-70 years old with a range in personality as wide. From the skid row alcoholic to men who work regularly but have no other place to live. Although alcohol appears to be a major problem, it is not the only one. Also included is a number of "psyche cases” that were either discharged from the State Hospital or through time became one. The volunteer can look forward to a very diverse group ofclientele. The CAC project is aimed at providing a non-alcoholic related social outlet for the clientele. Without the volunteers, the social outlets are few, mainly because of the Rehab Center being understaffed due to a poor budget. Though there are only male clientele, male and female volunteers are welcomed. They can help in recreation, which ranges from weekly bingo games to nightly ping-pong. Also available will be the use of the gym facilities at the Buffalo State Hospital. This would then add basketball, swimming, bowling, etc. to the recreation program. There is an informal training program present at the center with reimbursements provided for transportation. The times the volunteer can come remains flexible. However, we’re trying to get volunteers in time slots close together so we are able to work as a team, with group efforts and results. Since the volunteer program is accepted by the staff, volunteers are welcome to attend or start any activities that they feel might benefit the clientele. A word of caution: Volunteers must always keep in mind that they are limited in what they can accomplish in way of rehabilitation. Because of the somewhat “inadequate” facilities, volunteers must not enter the project with high expectations. The project’s main outlet to rehabilitate will come mainly through recreation or whatever type of relationship the volunteer will build with the client. We urge the volunteers to build a "buddy system” with one or two of the clients, so in time of decision, they will have a great influence in the results. Hopefully, with this type of relation, they can be more effective at "rehabilitating” that particular client. Through this type of experience, the volunteer develops a better insight not only to the difference in people, but it also makes them ask, what is the “real” difference, that is is there really any difference between the man in City Hall and the man at 219 Elm? - Night People Drop-In Center Director: Thomas Kreuder Address: 50 W.

Sponsored by the Ana Council on Alcoholism, its main target population is the debilitated skid-row alcoholic. However, a variety of people with a broad spectrum of problems might be encountered on any given nitwit. Its purpose is to provide a non-threatening accepting atmosphere conducive to socialization, recreation (in the form of cards, checkers, sic.), as well as individual and group counseling and referral services. Since then is a small staff (Director, Ass’t. Director nd one part-time counselor), several volunteers are needed nightly in order to run an efficient and therapeutic program. Volunteers are encouraged to be creative am d imaginative in the use of their talents. Tasks range from serving soup and distributing clothing, to counseling and assisting people in getting hospitalization where necessary. Hopefully, volunteers will grow in their understanding and sensitivity of human situations and problems, from many walks of life. Night People offers a unique and refreshing approach to a social problem during the late night hours, a time when most agencies have closed their doors to the public. Volunteers are asked to commit themselves to at least part it one night per week on a regular basis. This provides a certain continuity for the volunteer as well as enabling the staff to depend on their support. An intensive 18 hour training program is offered to all volunteers, as well as on the job supervision. Transportation is helpful but not absolutely necessary, as other arrangements can be made. Sunshine House Sunshine House deals with some of the more trying aspects of contemporary living. We attempt to help people *ho are having emotional problems, general problems in everyday life, drug related problems, and drug emergencies. In its birth, Sunshine House was an acid rescue center. This was at a time when hallucinogens were very prevalent n the community and people were having a hard time iealing with the emotional and medical aspects. As time aassed we felt that in order to make our services more jseful, we would have to expand and continually bend to die community's needs. Today Sunshine House deals with people on a one-time basis. We are here to help with xnotional and drug problems that persons encounter in daily living. If it is felt that a person needs, or wants, idditional help, we make use of our extensive referral file. Most of our services are in the form of phone counseling. Persons who make use of our service will find a friendly helping hand at the other end of the phone. Sunshine House also offers out-reach service in the case of m emergency when the person cannot come to us. Situations such as drug overdose, bad add trips, medical xnergendes, and the like, may fit into our out-reach -ealm. Sunshine House is located at 106 Winspear Avenue [one block east of Main Street near UB). The door is open or those who wish to speak to someone on a one-to-one oasis in an informal atmosphere. All of our services are .trictly confidential. Sunshine House is staffed by volunteers who •xperience an extensive training program. Training consists of informative lectures and small group interactions. Sensitivity is stressed. Once completing the formal raining, volunteers do “on the job training” with an >xperienced member of the House. Upon becoming a nember, persons are required to work a minimum of four lours per week. Persons who are interested in getting involved with >eople and who care about others may be interested in vorking at Sunshine House.

Stay happy. :ac day camp The Day Camp Committee hopes to realize its goals of establishing an economically and racially integrated day amp for Buffalo area children for the summer of 1975. Jp until now, CAC has only functioned from September 0 May, and a great need has been shown for us to •ontinue to work with the children from our various >rojects in the months when school is not in session. The >asic proposal has already been prepared, although there is great deal of room for change. As of May of last emester, it had looked as if the camp was all set to run. Jnfortunately sufficient funding to cover costs of such hings as buses and insurance could not be secured in time, ’his year, however, we are starting much earlier and the ituation looks bright. However, the day camp can only unction if we have the help and support of new olunteers. Everyone is welcome. Persons with experience 1 day camps, knowledge of grant foundations, and reative ideas for children are encouraged to join this ommittee; however, this experience is not essential for olunteers. age four Community Action Corps Fall Programs 1974 ■ Education Some of our basic beliefs; 1. Education is an endless process; 2. With friends, family members, teachers, students, and children; at school, at work, in a community, in a city, on the bus, on the train, and on the street; we are constantly interacting, responding, and therefore learning; 3. Every human being deserves the right to discover his/her feelings, ideas, and strengths as well as weaknesses; 4. There are many children in schools of this country who are bored of ‘‘Dick and Jane" and “Our Neighbors Near and Far”, who would rather be creating and constructing their own inventions, and who, by some chance, have not been totally indoctrinated into numb paralysis; 5. It is necessary to teach and reteach ourselves and the children we work with the basic skills of learning how to survive within a society which allows little room for originality, ingenuity and difference. We need to be able to teach children how to ask questions, and challenge what is ahd what could be. We, in the education area of Community Action Corps are constantly looking for, thinking about, and trying to grasp the complexities of what makes the institution of education develop and function from a historical as well as contemporary point of view, a political-economic point of view, and administrator’s, teacher's, parent’s and child's point of view. We see several ways for interested people to contribute in a struggle toward changing and creating schools that we may begin to believe in. 1. We need people who are interested in making phone calls, writing letters, meeting people who work at various facilities in the community, in order that we may begin to place people into schools, centers, and programs that are part of the changing educational process in Buffalo. This type of work is on-going for there are numerous kinds of resources in Buffalo. 2. We are interested in finding people who would like to give seminars on any area of education. 3. We are interested in placing people who have skills or would like to develop skills in working with kids of a variety of ages and who have a number of things they may need help in or just simply want to share thoughts with. 4. We are setting up internships in various research projects within several areas. Some examples are, studying public school law, special education advocacy work, and childrens' rights. If you are interested in any of these areas please contact us. The education area is divided into three sections A. EDUCATION People interested in working in this area would be working with children in community tutoring centers, high school equivalency programs, in Buffalo Public Schools with remedial reading specialists, and with individual tutoring. The projects and resource contacts are listed below. 1. FRIEDNSHIP HOUSE Friendship House, a newly-built and well-equipped structure, is located within Lackawanna’s pocket of poverty, the First Ward. Acting as a community center for Blacks, Puerto Ricans, Whites and Arabians of the neighborhood, Friendship House provides the sole recreational and instructional service available in the area. The Center's staff, which is well-respected in the community, assists vc'unteers in doing their part in the appreciated work of the Center. The majority of our volunteers are involved in the Center’s tutorial program. The tutor works, usually once a week, with an assigned child who is between the ages of 7 and 13. Tutoring is enhanced by the efforts of the “language enrichment” coordinator, Ms. Brewer, who furnishes a helpful structure. She conducts several training sessions for prospective tutors and holds evaluation groups periodically. Also, Ms. Brewer is responsible for putting together a newspaper, comprised of stories and poems written by the children. Some tutors try to advance their largely backward pupils by practicing reading and writing with them; however, the power of ordinary human warmth and friendship is relied upon as a rewarding means of opening up a child to unfold her or his potential. Frequent group trips aid in encouraging the development of such fuller relationships between tutor and child. Other volunteers try to reach out to the children by helping to lead interest groups. Activities such as arts and crafts, cooking and recreation are given every semester. Sometimes groups in photography, dramatics and dance are open to the children. The Center always has a long waiting list of children desiring a tutor. Many of them have to do without, since tutors are in short supply. Whether your inclination lies in group works, or more in tutoring on the individual level, an opportinity awaits — - you. At Friendship House, you can give to another and receive for yourself, a fulfilling experience. 2. TONAWANDA INDIAN ACTION PROGRAM The Tonawanda Indian Action Program is designed to meet the needs of the children of the community. In order to more successfully achieve and maintain this goal, the program is subdivided into three areas. These are sports, arts and crafts, and tutoring, with the basic emphasis being placed on education need. Most important is that within this education oriented structure there must exist a two-way exchange. Naturally, there are cultural differences and hopefully an interchange will come about, with the kids learning as much through us as we do from them. Although the arts and crafts and sports have an educational base, they will jointly serve as a common ground wherein a rapport can be established, thereby allowing the tutoring to flow more smoothly. Through the structure of the three divisions we attempt to enhance and heighten this reciprocity; positive feedback is essential. A volunteer’s committment will be three or four hours in one of the above areas per week. The Tonawanda Indian Community House, where the program takes place, is located a few miles from Akron, N.Y., about a half hour’s drive from U.B. In addition to the trips we make to the reservation, there will be periodic workshops among the project heads and volunteers to discuss methods, progress, and problems. Furthermore, these workshops help to keep the volunteers together. This year there will be, upon request of individual Indians, a high school equivalency program. The dropout rate is inordinately, but understandably, high among Indian people. The success of an equivalency program is urgent. We feel that the Tonawanda Program is an excellent opportunity for students to put their knowledge to use. The only requirements are sincerity, time, energy, and patience. Without an abundance of each, it just doesn't work. Also, due to the lack of mass transportation to the rexervation we are in need of cars. Volunteers who use their cars for transportation to the reservation will be reimbursed. In fact, any transportation expenditures on the part of volunteers in any program are reimbursed. - 3. CREATIVE LEARNING PROJECT - The Creative Learning Project is a self-governing tutoring project for children with emotional, organic, perceptual or physical problems that affect their ability to leant in their present school environment. A one-hour, one to one tutoring session and a one hour group recreation period is held every Tuesday and Thursday from 4:00-6:00 p.m. in rooms 240-248 Norton Hall. This semester we are �expanding our program to also include two workshops at Children’s Hospital and at St. Augustine’s. It is the hope of this project to use the one to one relationship as a growing experience for both tutor and student. At the same time, we hope to motivate the student to overcome his or her problem, and also to realize his self-worth. We offer a variety of opportunities to our students that are not normally available to them. Among others, we offer drama, art, sports and dance workshops. There is a mandatory series of workshops on the dynamics of, and insight into the children and ideas on how to tutor them, for all volunteers. Patient and innovative people are needed, and no prior experience is necessary. Please join us. The following are RESOURCE CONTACTS in this area: 1600 Fillmore Avenue; 3:45-5:00 1. St. Augustine p.m. on Mondays through Thursdays; Directors: Marion Hyman and Ms. Campbell. Offers one to one tutoring, mainly reading but also general tutoring of children ages - 7-14. 2. Buffalo Public Schools Through the cooperation of the Board of Education, volunteers can be placed in a variety of situations within the public school system. Placements available are one to one tutoring, group tutoring, and teaching assistants. Library assistants and foreign language tutors are also needed. Volunteers can work at the elementary, middle, or high school level. This is an excellent opportunity for prospective teachers to get practical experience within the public school system. 3. South Buffalo Youth Center 21% West Seneca Street; Monday and Wednesday nights from 7-9 p.m. Community Center which provides one to one tutoring and classroom setting. Volunteers work in classrooms of 15 and do general tutoring as well as math and H.S. equivalency work. 4. Individual Tutoring Throughout the semester, we receive requests from people in the community who need provate tutoring on an individual basis, with the hours suited to their convenience. New programs will be established throughout the up-coming semester; therefore if it is not possible for you to participate in any of the above programs feel free to discuss any other areas of interest with us. - - - 4. CREATIVE LEARNING PROJECT PLAY-SOCIAL GROUP The CLP Play-Social Group is designed to - produce an atmosphere of social interaction through the use of learning games. Volunteers will be working with children with emotional problems who, for one reason or another, are dificient in social skills. The purpose of this program is to develop these social skills, but more important, to build the child’s self-confidence and have fun. Volunteers are needed to work Wednesday afternoons at Children’s Hospital. Transportation will be provided. 5. THE CREATIVE LEARNING PROJECT TUTORIAL Unfortunately, in our society TRAINING PROGRAM turning 60 is synonomous with becoming useless. Millions of our "senior citizens” are abandoned by their families as well as society as a whole. Still many of these retired people have valuable skills that are left untapped. What we are trying to do this semester is to train these people as tutors for children that are having learning problems. Through training sessions on tutoring techniques, theories, sensitivity training and other important skills we will be able to place these people in reading centers and schools as qualified tutors. The experience should be extremely fulfilling for alL those involved. The “ground work” has already been set up. We now need people who have experience and/or knowledge in any of these selected areas to join us in a much needed and satisfying endeavor. We need your ideas and help. Please contact the CAC office and sign-up. - B.

The Alternative Education Committee developed from a desire on our part to insure the existence of viable alternative forms of education. As “products" and students of the present educational institutions (public, private and parochial), we see schools far too often as the very organizations that serve to stifle a child’s imagination, curiosity and desire to know and master his or her environment. We feel that schools, as the vehicles of socialization and socio-economic tracking in our society, all too frequently produce angry, frustrated, lonely children/adults who have been denied self-actualization and the development of feelings of self-worth. We believe that other forms of education need to be developed to offer alternatives to the present structure. The Committee was formed in mid-November in response to the interest shown after Jonathan Kozol’s speech at this University. We developed a working nucleus of 10 community people; graduate students from the Education Administration and Elementary Education Departments, undergraduates, a public school substitute teacher, a high school student, and a teacher from one of the local alternative schools. We have relied heavily on outside resource people who have been able to aid'our efforts. In answer to the alternative school’s need for money and resources, we felt that our energies could best be directed toward struggling to survive in a threatening antagonistic environment. We spent the next four months gathering information, visiting the schools, speaking with parents and teachers and finally organizing a structure in which representatives from the alternative schools could come together to work collectively for the benefit of their students. The school representatives have already assumed total responsibility for developing structures and bylaws so that our role in the coalition is now one of acting as facilitators and resource aides. Because our role in the coalition has changed, we have now started several other projects. We are developing a library of books, magazines, and materials dealing with alternatives in education. A list of non-sexist, non-racist and non-agist childrens’ books is being compiled. We arc going to "broaden our horizons” by writing to newsletters, magazines and schools all over the country to let them know what we are doing here in Buffalo and to rind out what’s going on in other cities. There also seems to be a need for teachers, parents and kids to share educational resources and materials. For this purpose, we would like to start developing a resource center in Buffalo. It is unfortunate but not accidental that people in power would like to keep us divided and thinking that there are no strong movements towards radical change in this country. It is time we realize that there are thousands of people with various skills working desperately in the field of education to find some sort of sanity and clarity for their children and themselves. We’re interested in expanding the Alternative Education Committee. Anyone who would like to participate and suggest new ideas is more than welcome. C. ALTERNATIVE EDUCATION - In the area of education and special education, we require that people commit themselves for an entire semester and that they work twice a week so that there is some continuity between worker and child. It is necessary to state what days and hours you will be available, so that staff members and children can arrange appropriate placements and activities. Plans are being made for seminars and coffee hours for all people involved in all hours and expecially where an interest to assemble is expressed. The contact names and programs listed above are only some possibilities of work placements or capacities of work. We welcome any ideas and are in a constant state of change ourselves, we find it at times confusing and chaotic but always energizing and alive. Black Rock BLACK ROCK EDUCATION CENTER Education Center began in July 1974 and will be continuing throughout the 1974-75 school year. The Education Center, located in Ripley Methodist Memorial Church on East Street, is run as an open classroom with mini-centers in math, reading and science. Children between the ages of 4 and 14 come to the center after school from 4-6 p.m. on Mon/Wed. to get help with development of particular skills which the children and parents recognize as needed. Volunteers will be working within a particular interest area creating mini-curriculums for small groups of children who they will be working with. Transportation will be provided. If interested, contact Leslie Medine at CAC. - Community Action Corps Fall Programs 1974 Page five . �Health Care Program BUFFALO STATE HOSPITAL 400 Forest Ave., Comer Elmwood Ave. The Buffalo State Hospital Project provides an opportunity for its volunteers to work with professional and paraprofessional staff in carrying out its therapeutic aims with the mentally and emotionally handicapped. Volunteers are needed in companionship programs (one-to-one with a specific client), communication skills, tutoring, O.T., recreation, blind program, geriatrics, day care, and family care. A volunteer need only give a limited amount of time per week, (one or two hours a week), provided it is done on a regular basis. The hours are usually flexible and can be arranged once the volunteer is placed. Volunteers should be willing to make at least a two semester commitment. This project is unique in that it provides the volunteer with a view of the state mental institution and the clientele it serves. Although there is no formal training session, supervision is given at the professional and paraprofessional level. The project itself also holds monthly meetings which give its volunteers a chance to discuss their experiences at the hospital. City transportation is available as well as the Elmwood-Bell campus bus. It stops about four blocks from the State Hospital. - This group BUFFALO STATE HOSPITAL GROUP until 9:00 or from 7:00 Wednesday evenings p.m. meets 10:00 p.m. The majority of group members are former patients of Buffalo State Hospital; some inpatients also attend. Ages range from 20 to members in their 50’s and 60’s. The group's purpose is to provide a warm social setting, in which people can talk freely to one another and enjoy both planning and participating in activities - together. One major goal for this year is to increase interaction between all members of the group, volunteers and former patients. Some of the members’ social skills are rusty, and it is important that volunteers be patient in listening. Group activities are planned jointly. Another goal is to increase group participation in all planning. Many of the members are in the process of reconstructing their lives, attempting to find a job, gain vocational training or re-enter college. Above all this Wednesday evening should be a time of encouragement and acceptance. In the past year various group activities have included swimming, picnicking, dinners, dances, singa-longs, horseback riding and movies. We need committed and innovative volunteers to strengthen communication within the group and to work on new ideas. If you are interested, please contact CAC and leave a message for Robin Harris. THE CANTALICIAN CENTER FOR LEARNING 3233 Main St., Buffalo, 14214 General purposes and goals: The paramount purpose is to provide rehabilitative, educational and utilitarian instruction to the handicapped students so that they may become participating members of their community. Our goal is to help provide these mentally retarded chilren with a foundation and background of a variety of skills to use and build upon when they graduate. Objective of the volunteer: The volunteer is indispensible to the Cantalician Center for Learning because he can provide the extra rehabilitation and instruction for the child, augmenting that of the teacher. Perhaps the volunteer's individual encounters with the child or his personalized therapies will further increase and stabilize the child’s knowledge. The volunteer can attain self-fulfillment and satisfaction within himself after he has worked with a mentally retarded child. It is an interpersonal process of “giving” established between the volunteer and the child. Volunteers are given a variety of opportunities in which to assist at the center. They can work within a classroom, with the class as a whole or, if they prefer, they may single out an individual child on a one-to-one basis. These activities range from learning to distinguish colors to tying a shoe. Those volunteers with specific interests such as speech therapy, physical therapy, art* dance, etc. are given an opportunity to do work in their intended field by planning and executing therapeutic methods of their own choice. The specialized therapies in the school include a language department, where the emphasis is on developing and remediating the speech and language of the chilren; a perceptual motor development department, where a combination of physical and occupational skills are used; a creative arts class, where dance therapy is utilized as a form of expression for the child; physical education; and specialized remedial reading skills are used for training purposes. This project is unique because its emphasis is not ¥ Pagtfi&f ®ribntliiiiy VMMk'&bp* ail Programs i9f74 n to academic, but rather a total effort to train the child cannot be This potential perform to his fullest potential. realized without the assistance of volunteers.

Each week we will try to offer specific porjects so that the activitiy can accomplish certain pre-set goals and be worthwhile to the children. Since we will be working at a state institution, the whole atmosphere will be different from that of private institutions. People who have not had the experience of working at a state hospital will And the whole structure of operations a learning experience in itself. Most of the wards have 25-30 children and 2 nurses at night. The ward we will be working in will consist mainly of mongoloid and mentally retarded chidren. Anyone interested in special education can gain a good insight into the effects of institutional living. The children are starving for love and attention, and just your physical presence will make them happy. Some of the children have specific psychological and neurological disorders. The nurses’ job is nr-'inly maintenance because of the child-adult ratio, and we could help out by giving the children some of the attention they desperately need. One thing to stress is the commitment a volunteer is making to the children once he/she joins this project. Many of the children mark the beginning of the week by the day the volunteer comes. It is very sad to see a child disappointed because their friend didn’t show up. Transportation will be provided and the project will be on either Wed. or Thurs. night from 6-8 p.m. (we will leave Norton at 5:30). SELF HELP — Self Help has no location, but its volunteers will find themselves working at different social functions. Its purpose and goals center around involving handicapped men and women in the community. It is an effort to help them leave their homes for recreation and meetings. There is a group of people who try desperately to get together to organize activities and help for the handicapped in the Buffalo area. The volunteers will accopany the handicapped to these meetings and social functions in the hope that they will leam more about how to deal with someone with a phsycial handicap. Volunteers must work a minimum of 4 hours a month. Self Help is the only project dealing with the handicapped living at home. It provides the service of getting them back into the community. Legal and Welfare Rights CAC has contacted or has been contacted by various groups working in Buffalo in the area of legal and welfare rights. Descriptions of these programs are listed below. There are still many groups which haven’t been reached, but the development of resource contacts is a continuing process. Once a group has been reached, one of their members is established as a contact person to facilitate communication between it and CAC. When a contact demands a more structured participation on the part of CAC, or an internal program needs to be more clearly defined, a project head is designated. To clarify the task of the legal and welfare coordination, the following outline is given: 1. To contact and to be contacted by community organizations utilizing non-paid staff members; 2. To determine if these organizations are related to the goals of CAC; 3. To publicize this information to university students; 4. To evaluate community contacts (what work is being done by the students and how the students feel about the work they are doing) and to collect feedback and suggestions for further community contact; 5. To provide training seminars where applicable and to develop a resource library which will contain information on what other cities and states are doing, periodicals such as Clearing House Review, Workforce, The Challenger and other useful booK? and journals. Suggestions and contributions are accepted. To accomplish these tasks, the internal work of Legal and Welfare will utilize people as resource aides for (1), (2), (3), (5) and evaluators and program planners for (4). If you are interested please contact the CAC office at 3605 and ask for Wayne. PROJECTS AMERICAN CIVIL LIBERTIES The ACLU is a nationwide organization dedicated to preserving the constitutionally guaranteed rights of the people. Most cases deal with arbitrary discrimination generally in jobs, housing, courtroom procedures and schools. CAC-ACLU workers assist in every phase of the union’s activities. Last semester, students were involved in holding discussion sessions about juvenile law in local high schools; visiting in session courts (city, county and village) to insure that people were not being taken advantage of; investigation of cases, precedents, etc.; and many others were able to volunteer their services in the impeachment drive. This semester, similar programs will be operating, however, new ideas for new projects are very welcome. UNION; WELFARE RIGHTS APPLICATION PROJECT (WRAP): This project basically involves volunteer aid to welfare recipients and prospective clients, who have difficulty in filling out an involved eleven page application. As a volunteer you will undergo a training program (a one hour demonstration) on how to fill out this application. It is essential that the illiterate and foreign born Buffalo residents, who desperately need public assistance, get it. Many are discouraged by this technical and highly bureaucratic formality. Last semester, WRAP had volunteers go down to the welfare office at 158 Pearl Street (Rath Building) once or twice a week, for a couple of hours, to help in whatever capacity, to make a dehumanizing process more bearable. People who care, who feel that community and campus interaction is important, are needed. The Department of Social Services is located at 158 Pearl Street. Take the 8A Main Street bus to the Main Place Mall, walk through the Mall to Pearl Street and then walk in a downtown direction on Pearl until you reach 158 Pearl. COMMUNITY COUNSELING CENTERS PROJECT The Community Counseling Centers provide a free counseling service for people of the Buffalo area. Persons with problems of marriage, loneliness, social adjustment, alienation, and other social ills, find help gt these centers. All counselors are trained volunteers who work during the evenings (7 P.M. and on) at one of the five counseling centers. In the past, students have been a productive resource to these centers. The centers are located at various parts of the city and are open one night a week each. Before a lay counselor works with a client he must attend a training session or work on a team with an experienced counselor.

They do this by arranging a one to one relationship between a student and an infnate in one of the above institutions. The sponsor (as Bridge calls their community people) and the inmate meet at the institution at times decided upon by the two of them. This project demands at least a six month committment upon the volunteer, as it is the relationship between himself and the inmate that is of the essence, and relationships take time to grow, especially under such harsh conditions. In the past it has been the practice of the Attica Bridge volunteer to visit the inmate once or twice a month. Bridge is located at 2450 Main Street take the 8A Main Street Bus to Jewett; but most contact will take place at the institution. Transportation should not be a factor to be concerned about since cars are usually available. - WELFARE FAIR HEARING ADVOCACY A contact has been made with a community person who is willing to train a small group of people in welfare fair hearing advocacy. The fair hearing is an administrative procedure available to a recipient who is dissatisfied with some aspect of the Social Services Department or has had other welfare benefits suspended, reduced, stopped, etc. Each person receiving a fair hearing can be accompanied by a friend, lawyer or anyone else he requests for advice or support. The training will be for that purpose, to give advice and support to people requesting fair hearings. Once trained, the members of this group .will arrange a schedule between themselves so as to be available during those hours in which fair hearings may be arranged. Hearings are held at the Department of Social Service, 158 Pearl Street take the 8A Main Street bus downtown to the Main Place Mall, walk through the Mall to Pearl Street, continue in a downtown direction until you reach 158 Pearl Street. - - - - - - - PROJECT The Attica Defense Committee has been trying to build a defense for the inmates involved in the 1971 rebellion. New York State has brought indictments against the inmates and has done nothing in the investigation of, or brought charges against, any of the state officials involved in the bloodbath of September 13, 1971. The Committee has two appendages the educational arm and the legal arm. Education is concerned with writing and printing up literature, distribution of this literature, and efficient communication to the public via the media (which also means creating contacts with the media). The legal department is involved with the direct defense and adjudication. Legal research, fact finding and reviewing the case histories of each indictment are just a few of the many activities of the legal appendage. The Attica Defense Committee needs volunteers (workers) to help either in the educational or legal arm with all of the above mentioned activities ard more. ATTICA DEFENSE - Do not let the above listing limit you. If you have a particular interest which is not fully expressed in any of these programs, there is a possibility that we will be able to contact a resource person for you, who is not formally working with a group, but is knowledgeable in your area of interest. In addition, if you are undecided as to what focus you wish to adopt or if you have suggestions as to other areas in which CAC can become involved, please contact us, for communication is necessary for growth. Social Services and Recreation PROJECTS THE BE-A-FRIEND PROGRAM provides the opportunity to show attention and give companionship to a child from a broken home. Be-A-Friend sponsors sporting games and trips to events, theaters and local sights. On an individual basis, each friend encourages his or her child's natural interests and tries to introduce new horizons and goals. Volunteers act in a big brother/big sister role. They give the children the benefit of a male or female influence in their lives. It can be truly harmful for a child to have his new “friend" quit after a short period of time. We - thereforeask volunteers for a serious committment league BOYS' BASKETBALL LEAGUE for fifth and sixth grade schoolboys. League practices and games are held in Clark Hall during the last eight Sundays of the first semester and first six Sundays of the second semester. Boys have a chance to play basketball in an organized league learning the fundamentals of the game and the importance of teamwork. The volunteers coach teams of ten boys, in pairs and the boys look to them for leadership and confidence. An orientation session for volunteers who will coach and referee is held prior to the suit of the season. Work is being done on establishing a girls’ or co-ed GIRLS' BASKETBALL LEAGUE for fifth and sixth grade girls. The league will meet at Clark Hall the last eight Sundays of the first semester and the first six Sundays of the second semester. The league provides an opportunity for girls to play basketball with other girls of the same age and to experience some relationship with volunteers. Before the league begins the volunteer, who will coach and referee, will undergo a brief orientation session. Volunteers can enjoy working with the girls and help them in developing their skills and leadership and confidence qualities. - - Commodity aAoripoiddsps 6>U$r$»§f*gtts �Social Services and Recreation -continued from previous pageThe THE COMMUNITY COMPANION PROGRAM visit with an to have a volunteer purpose of this project is with the intent of on a basis person regular elderly companionship.

Thank you. * * * * * opportunities. A basic concept of CAC is that students must be given a chance to expand their classroom learning experiences through action and service, into different learning experiences. Our rationale is that the University must not be isolated from the community; that the the needs of the community are great; that paying lip service to our social problems is inadequate; and that the proper utilization of University talents can dynamically alleviate many of our problems. If you are interested in working in any of our almost seventy programs, or if you have an idea about a project you'd like to start, CAC is interested in hearing from you. Come up to the CAC office (room 343 Norton Hall) and talk for a while. The CAC Cinema Series is run to give financial support to our programs. Movie prodeeds go for such things as toys for day care centers, books for tutorial libraries, field trips for recreation projects, and resources for studies into some of Buffalo’s problems.

The purpose of the residence is to help resocialize the women in order that they may return to the community. Volunteers are needed to help with the task of resocializing. Needed are persons interested in tutoring, teaching handicrafts, helping the women shop in the most economic manner, and other interactive activities. Students will work with small groups of women, ranging in age from 20 to 65. The residents can benefit from meaningful relationships with volunteers. Many are very lonely; some have no families.

From cities across the country, they came to commemorate the third anniversary of the Attica rebellion, in which 43 persons died, 33 of them inmates who were trying to dramatize the inhumane living conditions at Attica. Throughout the speeches given by Angela Davis, Heywood Burns, Big Black, the Reverand Ms. Stroble Smith and others on the steps of City Hall, the two recurring themes were unity and struggle. Racism, men who demanded to be treated as such, and not be driven like beases. Organizing, rather than mourning, would be a more fitting tribute for those who gave their lives in D yard, he declared. “The spirit of D yard,” Dr. Burns said, “has touched other struggles throughout the country.” Moving beyond a eulogy, Dr. Burns described the work that needed to be done the fight against prison conditions and legal lynching. The real criminals, he asserted, were former Governor Nelson Rockefeller and Russel Oswald, the Commissioner of Prisons of New York State, so why had they not been “brought - before the bar of justice.” Attica was just another example of the “caste and class” by which oppression takes place, Dr. Burns continued. Defining the Movement as a progressive struggle for Blacks, Whites, Puerto Ricans, Indians, Chicanos and all peoples, he called attention to the “nameless victims who don’t have committees or bail funds.” Liberation struggle As Dr. Burns dramatized the plight the Attica Brothers the crowd continued grow. Many perched on the monument Niagara Square to either catch a glimpse of to at of the Movement’s leaders, or to hold high banners with slogans like “It’s right to rebel, smash Imperialism to hell!”, “Attica, Wounded Knee We demand Amnesty”, and “Rocky and his rich cronies to blame for Attica/Mylai Massacres.” John Hill, an inmate who faces a - sentence of life plus 21 years if convicted, carried a message that had been sent to the sexism, imperialism and the ruling class were seen as the common enemy. Mr. Bums, the former director of the Black Conference of Lawyers, and currently legal coordinator for the Attica Brothers Legal Defense (ABLD), opened his speech with the cry, “Attica means . .” to which the crowd responded Fight back!” Dr. Burns powerfully, did this several times until he had raised the emotions of the crowd. “Attica means fight back, as well as other things,” he finally began. “It means that three years ago in D yard, 43 people died. It means that several hundred people in D yard said ‘no’ to oppression, dehumanizing conditions and brutality.” Dr. Burns proclaimed the rally as a memorial for those who gave their lives in the uprising, and defended the inmates as . “. . . ABLO by the Symbionese Liberation Army (SLA). Using the symbolism of the dragon, it cried out for a struggle against fascism, because there “can be no dreams of peaceful co-existence with the mass murderers of the world.” The dragon’s represented belly imperialsim and government corruption, Mr. Hill explained, “and we want to grab it by its head and kill it.” After the crowd had reached its peak, a collection was taken up for the Attica Brothers. “If you don’t have,” cried a spokesman from ABLD, “then give what you hadn’t planned to. Give your dinner money, go home hungry, but at least go home with a clear head so you can think ‘struggle.” The ABLD has been heavily dependent on public support, since the state has given the prosecution $6 million while allotting the defense 750 000 $ which they have yet to receive. The speaker who stirred the crowd the most was the Reverend Ms. Stroble Smith, the mother of Attica defendant Bernard Stroble, who faces a sentence of life plus 18 years for murder, first degree kidnap, coercion, and unlawful imprisonment. Rev. Smith, who is popularly known as “Shango,” proclaimed the struggle of the Attica Brothers as a “nation time,” a time to “change this nation not with our words but with blood.” Calls for peaceful fight The “fight with blood,” she declared, was more a “state of mind” than a violent struggle. Grabbing a banner from the hands of one of the supporters, she held it before the crowd for all to see. It read, “God said: Go tell Rockefeller he can run but he can’t hide blood on your Attica.” “We’re going to die to save the Attica Brothers,” Rev. Smith concluded. “There is no battle that God does not win, and he is on our side.” Wearing a surgical patch over one eye, Angela Davis was next to reach the podium. “We do not expect anything from the courts, but we will get justice for our brothers long before Rockefeller, Ford and Wilson can realize,” she began. She spoke about “unique events which explode and become fixed as symbols of the resistence,” such as the rebellion led by Nat Turner and the brave resistance to the massacre at Wounded Knee that occurred in 1890. “Three years ago there occurred such an event in D yard,” Ms. DaVis told the rally. “The enemies want to crush our brothers to whom we began to look upon for leadership,” she . continued. She cited Martin Sostre as an example of an imprisoned leader who must be freed because “he knows about struggles.” Resorts or prisons Ms. Davis compared the “country club where Dean, Ehrlichman and Haldeman play tennis” to the prisons where “all our sisters and brothers are suffering for all of us.” Richard Nixon must be convicted, she said, since “the brothers at San Quentin have already reserved a place for him.” prisons Frank “Big Black” Smith, who was shot and beaten in D yard in 1971 and now faces multiple life sentences, spoke next. The ABLD National Director introduced several of the inmates and thanked the —Forrest Speakers at Saturday's Attica rally included: Arthur Eva (left) and (from top to bottom) Angela Davis, "Big Black," Heyward Bums, and Michael Hainie. crowd for donating money which the state refused to give the defense. He called for a total liberation, emphasizing that the Attica Brothers were not looking for tokenism. Big Black then joined the other speakers in leading the 4000 supporters on a march to the Erie County Holding House, where 15 of the Attica indictees now reside. “They can hear us,” he said, as the crowd shouted its support as it passed the fully-drawn jail windows. �Student-run travel service to feature discounted air flights Discount travel packages and reduced transportation fares will now be available to students through the new Student Association (SA) Travel Service. Masterminded by Gary Nadler and SA Student Rights Coordinator Hilary Lowell, the program is designed to meet “the interests and financial needs of students.” “The entire spectrum of travel will be offered, from short weekends to vacations in Europe this summer,” Mr. Lowell said. The first trip, planned for the end of October, will be a weekend excursion to Toronto. Other packages include trips to Europe, Jamaica, Florida, San Juan and the Bahamas. Aside from these vacation trips, domestic travel discounts will be arranged during peak travel times, i.e., Christmas and Easter. Airline bookings will be reserved for students going home for the holidays. Bargain prices Exact dollar figures are not available at this Student apathy turning SA interactivity planning a priority shift from “faculty scrutiny to arranging dates for guest speakers,” which the present Executive Committee would like to rectify as soon as possible, he said. To solve many of the problems that have plagued past administrations, the Executive Committee hopes to encourage students to take a more active role in SA for their own benefit, Mr. Salimando said. Through systematic change, SA will attempt to shift from an activity planning body back to a policy-making body. There has been Spectrum Staff Writer “Damn, why doesn’t somebody do something!” are the words heard most often from angry students across the University’s campuses this semester. Complaints about the cafeteria food, the bus schedules, and the other inconveniences unfortunately seem to fall on deaf ears because students don’t know who to complain to, according to Student Association (SA) Executive Vice President Scott Salimando. The real problem is not the food or the bus schedules, Mr. Salimando feels, but the “apathetic attitude of many students.” This attitude, combined with the pressure of academic achievement, causes most students to ignore available services, he said. The SA, however, claims it is ready and able to solve many of the problems. All they ask is for student involvement and support. “If we had 10,000 signatures on a petition, for example," Mr. Salimando explained, “we cpuld help." Priority ’ drift SA controls most of the student affairs on campus, Mr. Salimando observed, but the lack of active student participation has transformed SA into merely a student service and altered its primary functions of policy-making and academic supervision. Committees One possible idea, a class for SA members, will serve two purposes, he noted. First, members can become better informed proposals on the Student Assembly agenda, and second, committees will be set up to discuss and submit ideas to the floor for a vote. Each committee will be assigned a specific subject. Final recommendations will be submitted to the Executive Committee, which in turn will place them on the agenda. “Committees that outlive their usefulness will be killed” and new assignments will replace them, Mr. Salimando promised. The initial purpose of the committees - will be to review personnel appointments and election credentials, as well as student rights and academic affairs. Guest speakers will keep members in touch with new and pertinent developments. “The desired effect of the class is to better inform SA members on the facts about legislation so they may vote in the Assembly on the issues based on facts instead of taking the word of the speaker to save time,” he said.

An apparent lack of communication between the Division of Undergraduate Education (DUE) advisors, various academic departments, and the counseling and placement centers was the primary reason for the study, according to most observers. “When there’s so much information that’s constantly changing, it's difficult to keep people informed,” Walter Kunz, associate dean of DUE, told The Spectrum. Dr. Kunz said this has led to situations where some students are told by their advisors that they have to fulfill certain requirements, only to find out later that the requirements have changed. One possible solution might be to bring departmental faculty into the advisement process, Dr. Kunz maintained. While there are a “number of people in the faculty” who do advise, he feels it is “not formalized.” “The bulk of advisement of juniors and seniors could be handled by faculty, although I would not want advisement to be exclusively that he said. “A central sdvtsemeht staff that iewps informed of everything can be ■ A more helpful in the long run,” Dr. Kunz added. Robert Grantham, assistant dean of Undergraduate Education, feels advisement has not kept up with changes in the structure of the University. The current advisement system was originally set up to serve an old structure that was known as University College. Under that set-up, there were two divisions, lower and senior. Students in the lower division would receive associate degrees after two years, while upper division students pursued baccalaureate degrees. Each group had a completely different set of advisors. “Unlike other things that have changed as the University has, the advisement system has remained the same,” Dr. Grantham said. “It’s outdated and needs to be able to respond in different ways to student demands.” Dr. Grantham feels one of the main problems is resources. Because certain hiring lines have staff has diminished while the number of students has increased Role not defined Another problem has been a lack of specificity about the role of advisors. “The first advisors were all ex-faculty, so it was unlikely that any had had any training in advisement,” Dr. Grantham said. He feels advisors should be well rounded and perceptive enough to deal with a whole range of student problems, because “when people ask you one question, they may mean something else. We should move in the direction of more psychological kinds of things,” he explained, adding that having the information alone and knowing how ,tp import it are two very different things. Each semester, DUE goes to the departments and requests what their requirements are in an students attempt to keep up-to-date. “We supply this to students as departments supply us,“ Dr. Grantham stressed. “If the departments are late in providing us with information about things that have changed, we wind up giving students inaccurate information.” Dr. Grantham said this has happened “enough times to give people the impression that we do not give out accurate information.” “It’s really a two-fold responsibility faculty should make sure we’re informed and we should make sure they inform us,” he emphasized. Since the academic - departments have an interest in keeping students informed and they know advisement is a good place to recruit students, Dr. Grantham feels the problem has basically been one of “administrative hookup.” To help alleviate this problem, DUE Dean Charles Ebert will soon be asking each department to try to keep up the flow of up-to-date information. Interrelated grouping Presently, DUE advisors are assigned to keep informed about departments based on individual preference and not on specific skills, according to Dr. Grantham. “We should begin moving more in the direction of having advisors work with departments around some interrelated grouping,” he said. He suggested that there be several groups of advisors, each assigned to an individual Faculty. Several Several advisors would then be able to develop expertise about a Faculty and would exchange this information with their colleagues. “This way, the general knowledge of all other advisors would be enhanced,” Dr. Grantham said. One spokesman felt many of the problems were caused by the attitudes of certain advisors. “If some advisors realized they were here to serve students, 75% of the problems would disappear,” he said. “If they want to do a top job, they should go out of their way to find out information. Some are more apt than others to go out of their way to find out information about things like placement and counseling.” Library faces problemsfrom the loss of books More than 500 volumes were revealed to be missing by the Undergraduate Library’s (UGL) June inventory, it was learned Thursday. Most of the books were apparently stolen by students who took them out the front door. “It’s a matter of dollars. We just don’t have enough people to have someone covering the door all day,” explained UGL Librarian Yoram Szekely. He estimated the total annual cost of having a book checker at all hours is about $5200 a year, but noted there was little chance of getting this desk for fear that these would be stolen, too. One of the few methods that might curtail the wave of book thefts, in Mr. Szekely’s opinion, is a book detection device like the one used at the newly-built law library in Amherst. However, its $50,000 cost, he said, made it prohibitively expensive. Fewer new books Mr. Szekely reported that the UGL had already spent about $200 replacing stolen volumes, and expects to spend an additional $6000 for replacements throughout the year. This cost, he added, cuts substantially into new book funds, since for every volume replaced, there is another book which cannot be purchased. “The UGL is the first thing we’ve done for undergraduates in ten years; it’s popular because some people made sure it would be the kind of place that it is,” said History professor William Allen. He described how many of the units in the UGL were acquired through collection money. Dr. Allen attributed many of the thefts to a “cult” attitude towards rip-offs, one which justifies stealing if it is directed against an institution. ’Students hurt most’ Both Dr. Allen and Mr. Szekely agreed that although they were personally disgusted to see the books go, in the end, it was the students who were being hurt the The UGL has been one of the most heavily used facilities on campus since it opened last January. At peak traffic times, Mr. Szekely said, someone must be pulled off the door to help at the circulation desk. “We believe in open stacks so students can have close contact with the books,” he said. Since a thorough briefcase check cannot realistically be instituted, the only way to prevent rip-offs would be to “lock the books up behind bars,” he went on. One student, who was fined $10 for keeping a book past the end of the fall semester, has openly declared war on the UGL. “He has been stealing books on a regular basis,” Mr. Szekeley said. “We know who it is, but there’s nothing we can do to stop him.” “If people are determined to steal books, they can,” Dr. Allen admitted, but “we must derive a general attitude against it and rely on social pressure.” College catalogues According to Mr. Szekely, college catalogues are stolen fastest and are also among the most difficult to replace, because most universities are unwilling to send out more than one copy to a school. It had been the UGL’s goal to have a catalogue from every institution in the country, Mr. Szekely said ruefully. Also popular among book thieves are expensive reference books. Speaking of one large book of Salvatore Dali plates he had searched out and purchased himself, Mr. Szekely said, “first a few pages were tom out, and soon after, the whole thing was gone.” The UGL has now placed its language dictionaries behind the circulation *355 Norton Hall, Main Campus T rw said. most.

The SJ will meet this week to discuss procedures for dealing with accused shoplifters. Any student brought before the student court would be eligible for legal aid. Dr. Stein said. Files on the case will be maintained for only a short tune, and a conviction would not go on the student’s official school record unless the court ruled for suspension or expulsion. Students caught shoplifting in the University Bookstore will now be dealt with more severely than in the past, says Bookstore manager Tom Moore. The crackdown comes following an announcement that nearly $60,000 worth of merchandise was stolen from the Bookstore last year. Students who are apprehended will be prosecuted through the Student Judiciary, while non-students will be brought to the local criminal courts, Mr. Moore indicated. A student found guilty by the court could receive penalties ranging from a warning to the loss of check cashing privileges and the restriction of bookstore purchases to textbooks only, says Ron Stein, associate director of Student Affairs and Advisor to the Student Judiciary (SJ). Additionally, the SJ may recommend to President Ketter that the student be either suspended for a period of time or permanently expelled from the University. SJ member Chris Gaetanos called suspension or expulsion particularly “drastic” measures which should be used only after all other alternatives are Criminal record Students caught shoplifting in stores will be prosecuted through the Amherst town courts and, if convicted, will acquire a criminal record. Frank Manna, manager of Tops Market, said there were several undercover security men working in his store, but he would not divulge security procedures. Some regret was expressed by managers who have begun prosecuting shoplifters, but they indicated that mere verbal warnings proved unsuccessful in deterring people from shoplifting. •••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••- • Mohawk Inn BELLE / | • — by Jenny Cheng Spectrum Staff Writer Taxpayers have paid for two halfway houses in Buffalo but have received only one. The State Department of Corrections spent $432,500 last March to purchase the Mohawk Inn at 1640 Main Street into a “halfway-house” for selected prisoners. Two days after the transaction, however, Governor Malcolm Wilson put a halt to the project, after local residents and politicians objected strenuously to it. Now, the BUILD community organization, plans to open its own half-way house at 19 East Utica Street, essentially as a substitute for the Mohawk Inn project. BUILD was given a State Crime Control grant of $25,508 specifically for this project, making theirs the only functioning halfway house of two for which state funds have been spent to date. , because “BUILD was more sensitive to the needs of the community. They surveyed several locations, asking residents their opinions to the project before they went ahead to purchase any property.” He noted that “the State Department of Corrections did not conduct any such surveys before purchasing the Mohawk Inn, nor did they heed our objections.” Gerald Houlehein 'of the Department of Corrections responded that “the Mohawk Inn was intended to be converted into a community based corrections facility, and we did not realize there was any opposition to the project at the time of the purchase.” He emphatically refused to discuss the matter any further.

This segment discusses the job possibilities for those who hold a bachelor's degree. by Dene Dube Feature Editor There are some students who are in school for intellectual fulfillment; others who are determined to prepare for a career. However, since employment is a problem we all have to face eventually, now is as good a time as ever to look at the job prospects. Eugene Martell, the director of University Placement and Career Guidance Center, a professional counseling service set up to help students with career planning and graduate school advisement, has a new idea about the function of the University; “The wave of the future for Higher Education will be interdisciplinary study,” claims Mr. Martell. Career-conscious students are more and more toward the new “joint major” leaning. Trend toward vocationalism “Students are looking for a curriculum with a prescribed course of study that will prepare them for employment,” Mr. Martell said. “This [interest in vocationalism] does not mean that they are no longer interested in the liberal arts,” he added. The phenomena he describes actually involves a double major, which includes a liberal arts curriculum plus a “practical application” curriculum. These “practical application” courses include civil engineering, computer science and accounting. Mr. Martell spoke of one student who majored in electrical engineering and theater, planning to apply the engineering to technical theater. Cautious employers One of the more general trends in the job market, according to Mr. Martell, is an extreme caution towards BA recipients on the part of the employer. These cautious employers are only looking at those who are technically trained with “pre-described definitions” of what they can do. With a general type of an education, the employers do not know the criteria on which to hire an individual. Mr. Martell does not believe it is either the student’s or the educational institution’s fault, but rather an “articulation problem.” He refers to the fact that the employer will under-estimate the potential of an English major unless he can demonstrate precisely what he is capable of doing. Recommending that a student get as much experience as possible, Mr. Martell suggested part-time jobs, summer, jobs and volunteer work as possible tools. Where students cannot gain these experiences, he recommends taking a large variety of courses so that an employer can find a multi-faceted persbn to fit into any number of outlets. High Holiday Services on Amherst Campus Ellicott Complex Rosh Hashana A survey of 1973 graduates shows that most of those ir Management, Health Affairs and Engineering and Applied Sciences were successfully placed by the center. Those in Arts and Letters, Natural and Mathematical Sciences, Social Sciences and Education were not placed as easily. However, more than half of those in each category were placed. Career satisfaction appeared highest with Social Scientists and Engineers. It seems that those in Arts and Letters and Education experience the least job satisfaction of the groups surveyed. The Social Scientists and Engineers attributed their satisfaction to a personal fulfillment, rather than economic or promotional satisfaction. Those in Arts and Letters and Education had a personal dissatisfaction rather than a monetary or promotional dissatisfaction. (Note: these findings only include those graduates from the University who were placed by the center.) Placed in business Almost one third of those placed by the center were employed by medium to large businesses, almost one-fifth in small business. *' The amount of career vacancies reported by the placement center for the 1974 graduates were highest in Engineering, and Iqwest in Liberal Arts. There were in fact more requests for persons with two-year technical degrees than for those with a four-year liberal arts degree.

The holidays reach a climax with Yom Kippur, the most important day of the Jewish year, which begins this year at sundown on September 25 and is observed on September 26. All Jewish holidays begin at sundown the day before they are celebrated. Each holiday thus lasts from sundown to sundown. Rosh Hashanah is more important as a Day of Judgement than as the start of a new year, Rabbi Justin according to Hofmann, Director of Hillel. Jewish tradition dictates that on Rosh Hashanah all people must pass before God, who sits as a judge, examining their deeds of the past year. “The Book of Life is open before Him and He inscribes people according to their desserts, for life or some other fate,” Rabbi Hofmann explained. Because of this, the traditional greeting extended by Jews on Rosh Hashanah is “May you be good year,” or, in Hebrew, “L’shanah tovah tikatevu.” The so-called “in between,” those who are neither all good nor all bad, are given until Yom Kippur, 10 days later, to improve their ways. As Rabbi Hofmann pointed out, it is a characteristic of Jewish tradition for man to be able to do something about his fate. By examining his way of life and resolving to improve in areas where improvement is needed, it is possible for man to achieve forgiveness and a favorable judgement. Man plays an active rather than a. passive role in what his outcome will be, according to Judaic teaching. In order to encourage people to engage in self-evaluation and the self-improvement during holidays, the shofar, or ram’s • hom, is sounded. The shrill sounds of the shofar, according to Jewish scholars, are to awaken the people from their spiritual slumber to critically review their lives. Another tradition related to the idea of critical evaluation is for the men to wear a whitekit tel, or overshirt, of the shrouds in which pious Jews are buried. The shrouds remind Jews of the day of death and should prompt them to reconsider their earthly existence, and way in which to improve it. Tashlich, “to cast,” is a third tradition of the holidays, in which people go to a body of water on the afternoon of the first day of Rosh Hashanah to “cast their sins” into the water. Yom Kippur, the holiest day of the Jewish year, is observed by fasting. It marks the conclusion of the High Holidays. On this day, the “Day of Atonement,” the on Rosh judgement passed Hashanah is finalized. The relationship between the two holidays is that “on Rosh Hashanah we are inscribed and on Yom Kippur we are sealed,” the Rabbi explained. The fast of Yom Kippur is designed to help people get away from their everyday concerns symbolized by eating and drinking and to concentrate instead on their spiritual conconcerns. The High Holidays are also known as the Yomim Noraim, the “awe-inspiring days.” The mood is not one of morbidity or sadness but rather of seriousness. There is a mood of hopefulness that permeates the people on those to Rabbi according days, Hofmann. Religious services will be held in the Fillmore Room beginning Monday at 7 PM and Tuesday at 10 AM. Services will also be held Tuesday at 7:30 PM and Wednesday at 10 AM. Times for Yom Kippur services will be announced.

The results of the study show strong and pervasive others. On the issue of race, 42% of potential jurors volunteered some form of racial stereotypes demeaning the character of black people. With regard to authoritarianism, over half believe that the police should not hesitate to use force to maintain order and that laws should be strictly enforced no matter what the human consequences. prejudice against black people, persons who seek all leading to change and persons accused of crime the inference that most people in Erie county could not function as impartial jurors if called to sit on these Widespread bias Further results from the attitudinal survey show that, among the 65 1 people interviewed: week - cases.

The ABLD admits these views are not shared by every citizen of Erie County, and that there are still a “good many decent, fair-minded individuals who can approach these cases with open eyes and open minds.” However, it claims that “the prejudice revealed and documented by this study is so deep and widespread that we are forced to conclude “that it will be virtually impossible for the Attica Brothers to obtain an impartial jury in Erie County.” - - Range ofattitudes The study, conducted according to approved a sample of 65 1 registered voters in Erie County interviewed by scientific research techniques, drew on telephone.

The Spectrum Page seven . �TRB from Washington September 16, 1974 DITORIAL Reshaping advisement The average college student is faced with all sorts of complex questions as he goes through four years as an undergraduate. For a long time, Division of Undergraduate Education (DUE) advisement has been responsible for providing answers to many of these questions, whether they involve departmental and degree requirements, employment or graduate school prospects, or even personal problems. As the University bureaucracy has expanded to staggering proportions over the last few years, however, it has limited DUE'S access to the huge quantity of constantly-changing information that many students demand. One of the biggest problems has been a lack of interaction between the academic departments and the advisement staff. There have been numerous instances where a department has changed its requirements for graduation without notifying DUE, or where advisors have been unable to give students adequate information about degree alternatives, graduate school prospects or career guidance. This has been caused, in part, by a scarcity in resources. Because of a lack of necessary funds, the number of professional advisors has not been able to keep pace with a growing student body. Each of the 15 DUE advisors has had to tend to the needs of approximately 500 students while maintaining a working knowledge of some 80 departments. Responsibility for much of the communication gap also lies with many faculty, who have often appeared reluctant to become formally involved in advisement. One centralized agency cannot be expected to keep on top of every single piece of important information, if only because of the sheer size of the University. Another criticism often leveled at DUE advisement is that most of the staff has not had any professional training and may therefore be ill-equipped to deal with problems of a more personal nature. By organizing a committee to study advisement, the administration has wisely committed itself toward improving an essential student service that needs wholesale restructuring. Ways of encouraging more faculty to become involved in advisement should be carefully explored, so DUE will have a better chance of providing students with the most up-to-date information. This might be accomplished by relieving certain faculty of some of their teaching reponsibilities, so they can spend a few hours concentrating solely on advisement problems. At the same time, the committee should consider revamping the internal structure of advisement so that individual counselors will have at their fingertips information about a greater variety of student concerns. Assigning groups of two or three advisors to find out about a particular Faculty or student service and making certain they exchange this information with their colleagues might be one way of doing this. Advisors could also be made more mobile by assigning them to "field stations" in departments, dormitories, - residential colleges or Provosts offices, as DUE Dean Charles Ebert has suggested. The possibility of establishing peer advisement on a regular basis should also be looked into. Such a system has already proven successful at other Universities where there are simply not enough professional staff to serve every student. There are many well-informed and aware students at this University who might be extremely effective in dispelling some of the confusion students have during their undergraduate years. Page eight. The Spectrum Monday, 16 September 1974 . Why did he do it? Why now? These are the questions that cried for answers when President Ford shattered a placid Sunday that was geared for no more of a shock than the outcome of Evel Knievel’s demonstration of lunacy across or into the Snake River Canyon. They are questions that are likely to be debated and speculated about for years, and in a flash they have taken the bloom off the new Ford presidency. More seriously than ever, they raise the issue of equal treatment under the law, already so pointedly posed by the disposition of the cases of Spiro Agnew, Richard Kleindienst and others who have enjoyed the velvet justice of the post-Watergate period. In the Agnew case, then Attorney General Elliot Richardson argued successfully with his team of young Baltimore prosecutors that the fate of one politician was relatively unimportant corrupt compared to the imperative of clearing the line of succession to the presidency. Agnew, in his determination to avoid going to jail, had one trump card. He was entrenched in the vice presidency, and he held that fact over the heads of Richardson and Co. If they wanted him out, he told them through his lawyers, they would have to indict him, and risk the long legal hassle of a trial and appeals. Or, they could agree to a minor charge and not jail. Richardson, concerned that Agnew might be in the dock at the time Nixon was impeached and convicted or otherwise incapacitated to be President, thought the price was worth paying to make sure that could not happen. He argued, as Ford has now argued concerning Nixon, that Agnew would suffer sufficiently by deprivation ofhis high office. Well, since then Agnew has borne his suffering remarkably, even irritatingly, well. He is cheered at public appearances and has the gall, in the face of the evidence the prosecutors put into the court record against him, to write The Washington Post complaining when an editorial suggests that he received “leniency.” Nixon had no such trump card with which to force a deal. Having resigned from office, he really had nothing unless, of course, a deal was made beforehand, as a condition of his resignation. The circumstances render such speculation, already making the rounds of the taxi-cab circuit, inevitable. Never mind that it’s the stuff of which Grade B movies are made: the President appoints a Vice President; the President resigns and the Vice President succeeds him; the new President pardons the former President. The American people, who not only see Grade B movies, but are long-time politician-watchers, have been conditioned to believe such “far-fetched” theories. George Wallace can’t run for re-election as governor of Alabama, so he runs his wife; she wins, and he turns her into a figurehead and runs the state in her name. Sen. Robert S. Kerr of Oklahoma dies; Gov. J. Howard Edmondson resigns the lieutenant governor succeeds him and appoints Edmondson to Kerr’s unexpired term. Young Ted Kennedy wants to run for the Senate in Massachusetts, succeeding his brother who has become President, but he is not yet 30 years old, as required. So family friend Benjamin Smith is appointed to keep the seat warm until ... young Kennedy is old enough to run, and bows out when he is. With this sort of history before them, it’s not so hard to understand that people might believe Ford and Nixon made a deal that gave Ford the Presidency and Nixon his freedom. We don’t believe that ourselves, but we think it’s extremely destructive of public confidence that the matter was handled in a way that could fuel such speculation. The last thing the country needed at this juncture was another blow to public confidence in politics and politicians and the Presidency. And the last thing the country needed, particularly, was to have that blow administered by the hand of Gerald Ford. After all the disenchantment bred by Watergate and Nixon, Ford had crashed onto the public stage refreshingly candid. And while it can be said that he took the step of pardoning Nixon openly, in a nationwide television talk, he came out of the whole affair as another politician who says one thing one day, does another the next. In his first press conference only days before, Ford had said that while he thought Nixon had suffered enough and he would consider pardon as an option, it was for the special Watergate prosecutor to decide whether to seek an indictment. What caused him to change his mind? We now*have reports that Ford was informed that Nixon was in a seriously depressed state of anxiety, and that it was in the interest of his mental well-being that the pardon be granted before any indictments were even sought. Nobody knows; the President had no professional, clinical report on Mr. Nixon’s health. He is depressed of course, who wouldn’t be? And what of Mr. Ford’s concern for the larger national question the public’s mental state about the administration of justice? Had Ford permitted the legal proceedings to run their course, and then had pardoned the man, few likely would have complained. Few would have wanted to see a broken, convicted President then thrown into jail. A trial itself would have been enough to persuade the public that the law applied to the mighty as well as to the meek. Far-fetched, as it may sound, sooner or later Richard Nixon may’come waltzing through, in the Agnew fashion, claiming he was hounded out of office unjustly by his, political foes and being cheered in public places. In all this sad business, one upbeat note was provided by Jerry ter Horst, the Detroit News Washington Bureau chief who had left his profession after more than 25 years to become the presidential press secretary. He disagreed profoundly with Ford’s decision to pardon Nixon and felt that therefore he could not defend it credibly before the press. And so, he quit. Hallelujah! Finally, somebody in a high Washington position thought more of his integrity than he did of the job and the trappings, and he quit. It was well-neigh unprecedented. Sure, Richardson and his deputy, William Ruckelshaus, resigned when Nixon tried to force them to fire Watergate prosecutor Archibald Cox, but they were backed to the edge of the cliff. Before that time, Richardson had a long history of fighting the good fight, losing, and surviving to fight another day. Throughout the Vietnam war, men within the government professed their dismay but always hung in there. Sometimes they argued that if they got out, they would leave the field to their opponents. They painted themselves as little Dutch boys with their fingers in the dike. Well, here we have another little Dutch boy who realized that sometimes you don’t go along and keep your mouth shut. It is refreshing, especially in the wake of Watergate, with its countless examples of spineless, ambitious men who later claimed they knew better, but said nothing. — - Norton ticket policy To the Editor.

Metaphysical dissent Outside To the Editor: In his opinion on the suffering of Nixon, Michael O’Neill inadvertantly dramatizes the heart of alienation which plagues the American consciousness. If we cannot see the smog in our air, does that mean that none exists? Once the physical presence is not tangibly visible, the problems which constantly face us are relegated to part of our “eternal past.” It is this approach to our own personal environment which has led us to our present apathetic state. All of us have become complacent to everything but that which smacks us dead center in the face. Once we lose touch with ourselves as people and no longer demand our inalienable rights as such, we surrender our own freedom ofchoice. Now that people are not being shot in living color from Viet Nam every night at six o’clock the war does not exist. The blood stains on the walls at Attica are gone too, but the men who directed those guns still maintain their sovereignties. The new President intends to maintain their status. Our second in line to the Presidency begs amnesty for the conspirators of Watergate, although none was granted for the Brothers who suffered at Attica and whose only crime, as they have pleaded, is “attempted rehabilitation.” Our reality can no longer be measured in a strictly chronological order. Change, like time, is cyclical and it is necessary to understand that each point in the circumference has a direct relation to the structure as a greater whole. In essence, the events which precede as our “eternal past” form our living present. ookine In by Clem Colucci Our White House sources have leaked us the following samples of the week’s mail. The story behind most of it is obvious enough. From: J.F. terHorst To: John Huchen, Deputy White House Press Secretary John, As you and Jerry undoubtedly know, since resigning as Press Secretary, I have returned to my old job as Washington Bureau Chief of my former newspaper. As such, I am responsible for all White House briefings, press conferences and other official functions. In order to do this, I need a set of White House press credentials. Unfortunately, I have not yet received them. What’s the hold-up? I missed an important briefing the other day because the guard wouldn’t let me through. My editors back in Detroit were furious with me. I would appreciate a proper set of credentials as soon as possible. Mitchell Brown Sincerely, Jerry The Spectrum Vol. 25, No. 12 P.S.

Just the other day Bob [Hartmann, President Ford’s chief aide] dropped by the office and said: “How is the little runt anyway?” Great little kidder, that Bob. You’re not sensitive about being short, of course. I asked him it he was aware of your problem. I’d sent out a set of press credentials Monday and you should have gotten them by now. Bob said “some screw-up in the mailroom, no doubt. As you know, the President doesn’t hold grudges.” He grinned in a funny way when he said that and he left.

Funicello department involved in the Spectrum Staff Writer grievance. The Divisional Chairman chooses these four representatives Undergraduate and graduate students have the right to file a grievance against any faculty member whom they feel has dealt unfairly with them. The Office of Student Affairs, headed by Dr. Ron Stein, deals with these grievances as well as any otheracademic problem that might confront students. In the past, grievances have covered a wide variety of issues including grading questions, the denial of tuition aid to graduate students and the dismissal of students from their program of study. Levels of grievance There are three levels in the grievance resolution process primary, faculty, and undergraduate studies. The primary level is designed to resolve disputes through informal discussions between the student and his instructor, while the faculty and undergraduate levels handle problems which cannot be resolved so simply. A decision made at the primary level can be appealed to the chairman of the appropriate Faculty Divisional Committee. If the chairman finds insufficient grounds for the appeal, he may convene a grievance committee to review the case. The grievance committee includes two faculty members and two undergraduate students, and excludes representatives from the — from a panel of faculty and students from each of The other departments. The committee must issue its findings and recommendations within ten days ofits last meeting. Following the faculty-level decision, a student has the option of filing an appeal with the Dean of Undergraduate Education at the third and final level. If the Dean finds reason to doubt the effectiveness of the prior review, he may convene a grievance committee consisting of representatives from all the Divisional Panels. Once again, no members of the department program. involved are allowed to take part in Possibly the greatest benefit of Fall festival Media study will show freefilms A free film festival with offerings ranging from Kurosawa and Eisenstein to Hitchcock and Fritz Lang is scheduled twice a week from now through April, as part of an effort to increase access to and study of film. The films are presented by the Regional Film Project, which is based at Media Study at the State University at Buffalo. They are grouped into three main sections: “Social Environment Identity;” and “Images of Blacks and Women;” and “Cross Media: Interfacing Other Media With Film.” Non-commerciality is a prime aspect of all the films, which can generally be classified as historic, documentary, experimental or international in nature. Most would be unlikely to draw large audiences in commercial theaters, but the R.F.P. views them less as entertainment than as a “means of creating, analyzing and responding to our historic and contemporary global culture.” Page ten The Spectrum Monday, 16 September 1974 . . the decision Over the last two years, Dr. Stein’s office has noted a substantial increase in the number of grievance cases. He attributed this to the fact that more students are aware of the existence of the office and its services. Several of the cases are resolved at the informal level, due in part to what Dr. Stein termed “fantastic” cooperation from most departments of the university. Charles Ebert, Dean of the Division of Undergraduate Education, and Dr. McAllister Hall, Dean of the Graduate School, were singled out for having contributed significantly to the success of the The R.F.P. circulates the films among the various participants statewide, which include State University Colleges at Brockport, Geneseo, Fredonia, and Community Colleges at Erie, Jamestown, Geneseo, Niagara Falls and the Albion Correctional Institute. A total of 350 separate screenings are planned during the coming year at these locations. Faculties at these institutions are encouraged to integrate these films into their curricula. At various institutions, in fact, they have already been incorporated into courses in departments of Social History, Science, Psychology, Language, English and Theater. films are Twenty-one scheduled for the fall semester, and 23 for the spring. They will be shown at 9 p.m. Mondays in Diefendorf 147, and 9 p.m. Thursdays in Diefendorf 148. The public is welcome. For schedules, get in touch with Scott Nygren at Media Study. the grievance program is that its presence not only contributes indirectly to the betterment of student rights, but also adds to the quality of education at the university. Dr. Stein’s office frequently receives calls from faculty members who want to be certain of the legality of a particular course of action “We have created an awareness of student rights and at the same time protected them,” Dr. Stein said. Anyone who feels he has a legitimate grievance should contact Dr. Stein or Ronald Doleman in 201 Hardman. DAILY CROSSWORD PUZZLE Copr. ’74 Gen'l Features Corp.

City Editor President Ford’s pardon of Richard Nixon has been called an “outrageous act” which is “massively wrong in both form and appearance,” by Wade Newhouse, professor of Constitutional Law at the State University at Buffalo Law School. It would have been preferable, he feels, to wait until after the trial to grant the pardon. Only (Special Prosecutor Leon) Jaworski (fould have proceeded with the prosecution of Mr. Nixon. But if the pardon is upheld in the courts, as most observers expect it will be, the proceedings against the former President would go no further, Professor Newhouse believes. D. Elton Trueblood Trueblood tells how to live a meaningful life “You know what people need if you look to what they turn to in desperation,” said Dr. D. Elton Trueblood, author and philosopher, before a spellbound audience in Acheson 5 last Thursday evening. Speaking on “Reality in Communication,” the Quaker theologian used general terms to describe how to ‘put meaning into one’s life.’ Making an analogy, he said that “the buildings of ancient Rome still stand, yet the greatness of them has gone,” meaning that if a person lacks the needed meaning to life" he’ c’an be like the ancient Roman ruins devoid of any significance. — Devil worship Dr. Trueblood cited the turn to the occult and devil worship as evidence that people hunger for a meaning to their lives. People are tough, he said, and can take poverty and hunger. But, when faced with . they do go to pieces.” meaninglessness in life, Breaking with his pessimistic tone, Dr. Trueblood declared that salvation in life is at hand, even for those who have lost meaning and direction. He added that one of the main sources for the cultivation of this meaning and direction is the “university.” Elaborating on the theme of salvation, Dr. Trueblood said that “the beauty of being a person is that you can be a sinner, and know Effect on other trials Professor Newhouse feels it is “too speculative” to discuss the effects of the Nixon pardon on the trials of John Haldeman, H.R. Erlichman and the other Watergate defendants, but said the pardon “makes Nixon very available to testify” in those trials, since he can no longer invoke the Fifth Amendment as protection against self-incrimination. He also supports the Constitutional amendment proposed by Senators Walter Mondale and William Proxmire to limit the President’s pardon power. The pardon power, as established under Article 2, Constitutionality of pardon Another Constitutional scholar at the Law School, Professor Howard Mann, believes there is a “substantial question as to whether this use of the pardoning power is constitutional.” He views the pardon as “more of an amnesty” and cautions that it may infringe on the power of Congress in the future. Prof. Mann feels any pardon should have been delayed until an indictment and suggests that Congress do something about it. The pardon may “interfere with the grand jury’s authority. “It’s for the court to say if the pardon is legal,” Prof. Mann said. He added that the pardon will have a “confusing effect” on the other Watergate-related trials and expects that motions will be filed by the defense counsel. Prof. Mann disagrees with the statement of Presidential Counsel Philip Bucher, that Mr. Nixon could not have received a fair trial. That decision should have been left to a pre-trial hearing, he asserted. “One could find a jury that wouldn’t be prejudiced against Nixon even a jury with feelings favorable to Mr. Nixon.” The Ford action, he added, was “an error of judgement but probably not an impeachable offense.” — MEDICAL SCHOOL APPLICANTS American Medical College Admissions Profile, Inc., offers a computerized analysis to assist you in more effectively assessing your qualifications and more accurately directing your medical school applications.

With this knowledge, you can repent.” After the forty-minute talk, the doctor opened the floor to questions. One participant asked him to comment on the pardon of former President Nixon. Dr. Trueblood said he believed that President Ford was acting in a sincere way, in an attempt to get Watergate over with. Dr. Trueblood did refer to the Watergate scandal, though, as a “wretched thing,” and as a “chancre” upon this nation. New prison reform Another question referenced to Dr. Trueblood’s work in the rehabilitation of a former prisoner at San Quentin Prison in California. The prisoner, Larry Bulch, was described by the doctor as having been “tuned out to the world.” Mistrust of people, he said, was the keynote of this man’s character. A three-time loser for forgery, this man “turned in desperation to a life of crime.” His rehabilitation consisted of group prayer. Other prisoners prayed for him, and he for them. “For the first time this man knew someone was praying for him,” Dr. Trueblood said. Mr. Bulch has since gone on to rehabilitate other inmates, and has authored a book entitled Return to the H'orld.

High on the students’ list is the lack of recreational facilities at the living-learning center. Bill Monkarsh, Buffalo Intramural and Recreation Director, with assistance from Gary Montour, is trying to alleviate the situation. In an effort to get the ball rolling in Amherst, Monkarsh is planning coffeehouses at 8 p.m. Wednesday, Sept. 18 at the Governors Residence Halls, and Thursday, Sept. 19, at Ellicott. Input Sought The objective of the coffeehouses will be to discuss recreation and get student input towards creating a viable program of recreation and intramurals on the Amherst Campus. Monkarsh stressed the importance of student response. “We are open to all suggestions within the budget. We want to make the students happy,” he said. *One of the best Main Campus intramurals this fall will include football, coed football, a lacrosse tourney, a tennis tourney, coed volleyball, and coed badminton. Amherst will have football, coed football and a tennis tourney, as of now. Plans are also being made for the use of Sweet Home Senior High School as our “eternal past” form our living present. “Student response is the key to intramurals and recreation at Amherst,” Monkarsh said. An opportunity for all interested students to respond will come at the coffeehouses. Deposits required New to the Intramural program this year is a mandatory deposit, to be paid by all teams participating in sports which require more than one referee. This $10 deposit will be forfeit, and future league play will be terminated, should a team forfeit a game without giving at least 48 hours notice. This rule applies to sports including hockey, football and basketball. ’ Grappler pins athletic title “He’s one of the best athletes we’ve ever had,” sayd Buffalo Wrestling coach Ed Michael in reference to his star 134-pounder Jim Young. This week a group of ten electors, sports writers and athletic department members, confirmed that Young was Buffalo’s best athlete during the 1973-74 school Young received 87 points in the balloting to edge out hockey star Mike Klym by 3 points. Both are seniors this fall. Sophomore sprinter and long jumper Eldred Stephens placed third. Double star Young’s starring role for both the Bulls wrestling team and Buffalo’s soccer squad earned him first position on seven of the ten ballots. Klym, who set several seasonal and career records on the ice, also did some fine relief pitching for the baseball —Hnath Jim Young 11 goals and one assist, leading to his being christened the “blonde bomber.” Young also set records for shots, shooting percentage and points. Jim capped the season off by capturing the Most Valuable Offensive Player award at the SUNY Center Tournament, scoring all three Bull goals in the tournament. “Blonde Bomber” Jim was also the bright spot for a disappointing soccer squad.

Biology 119 is required of majors in pharmacy, oppucatlonal therapy, physical therapy, medical technology, and nursing. The course also draws a large percentage of pre-medical and pre-dental students, who aren’t biology majors. This year, Biology 118, a new three-credit non-laboratory course, was created for students who wanted to learn biology without having to take a lab section or compete with the pre-professional majors in 119. The lectures are held simultaneously with the 119 lectures but separate records are kept.

Biology 118 has about 200 empty spaces, while Dr. Smith has urged students in 119 to transfer into 118 to help the students who have been closed out, the response has been small. Last March, as he does every year, Dr. Smith prepared a report projecting the number of students who would take Bio. 119. Based on a substantial growth in the health-related fields in the past fews years, Dr. Smith predicted that 960 places would be engineered chaos,” he said, “and as sure as we’re required.

Douglass Dean, who is teaching a course in parapsychology here this semester. Mr. Dean, along with psychics Carol Ann Liaros and Dale Colter, who taught parapsychology last semester, explained some of the phenomena of parapsychology studies and the trouble they have getting others to believe them. “I had to collect four pounds of research paper,” Mr. Dean recalled of his efforts to convince the AAS that parapsychology was not a sham. “We polled aO our members,” he continued, “and two- thirds of them had Ph.D.’s. We also drew up a list of fifty masters and doctoral diaertations which had been written in panpsychology.” “We believe that everyone has ESP,” Ms. Liaros declared. She said most people can’t do it because of the tensions and intellectual!zing they build up against it. Being psychic, she claimed, is a very creative thing, and many past great artists like Michelangelo and Pablo Picasso were believed to be psychic.

Dream telepathy The most adamant skeptics, Mr. Dean asserted, are usually fitted with electrodes and put to sleep. They then have a friend concentrate on an idea as the sleeping person reaches the peak of his dream cycle. The subject is awakened to record his Campus Editor “The computer shows that those heads of business that actually do use some sort of ESP gain greater profits than those who don’t,” he said. Mr. Dean’s new book, Executive ESP, (Prentiss Hall, 1974) deals with such phenomena. Noisy ghosts Mr. Dean also described a type of mind over matter phenomena called polterguist, which is a German word meaning noisy ghost. According to Mr. Dean, usually a bottle or bulb bursts, or a rock Hies through a house window for no apparent reason. Most cases, he said, are the result of introverted, frustrated adolescents, usually with a high IQ and low emotional age, reacting to an extremely domineering parent. The pent up emotions, which Mr. Dean connects with puberty, manifest themselves through psychokinesis. Asked if these sort of occurences frightened him, he said no. “Why should 1 be frightened if these things will someday be understood by science,” he said. One exercise studeius will leam involves working with a partner and exchanging addresses. The student must allow his mind to hover over his partner’s address and pay great attention to the various stimuli which enter his imagination. In some successful cases last year, they said, students dream, and the result almost always matches his friend’s thought. Dream telepathy is the most successful parapsychological phenomena mainly because a sleeping subject cannot maintain his tensions against it while asleep.

The proposal is a response to severe complaints against instructors who have consistently failed to meet the submission deadline. This has reportedly resulted in delayed graduate school applications and financial assistance requests, and has been a general inconvenience for certain students. An SA telephone survey taken early this year revealed that the State University at Buffalo has the least stringent grade deadlines of all the schools polled, including the other State Universities. At the University of Minnesota at Minneapolis, the largest institution in the country, grades are due 72 hours after the instructor’s finals. The deadline at State University at Albany is 48 hours after finals, and 72 hours at Stony Brook and Binghamton. Unsuccessful first attempt The 96 hour (4 working day) proposal for grade submission is not new. President Robert Ketter tried to institute the policy last year, but was convinced by some faculty members not to pursue the matter. The Faculty-Senate Executive Committee examined the proposal Wednesday and decided to discuss it further with President Ketter. Although most faculty members and students agree there is a problem of late grade submission, views differ on how to deal with the problem. Political Science Professor Claude Welch believes the 96-hour deadline is unrealistic and possibly damaging. “Professors might have to change their format to shorter exams,” he said, adding that this would be “an unintended and unfortunate consequence” of the shorter deadline. Not enough time Faculty-Senate Chairman George Hochfield agrees that the present day allowance is unnecessary, but argues that the four-day rule might be impossible to implement. Dean of Undergraduate Education Charles H.V. Ebert seems to agree. “There is a lot of controversy involved in this proposal,” Dr. Ebert claimed. “After all, how can you expect an English professor to accurately grade 50 long papers in four days?” Some students were more concerned about enforcement of the deadline date rather than the actual date itself. The President’s office reportedly has the power to dock pay from those faculty members who ignore /(he grading deadline. Last January, the problem of late grades was a top priority of SA. It initiated a class action against departments and individual instructors who habitually submitted late grades. Academic Affairs Coordinator Mark Humm said that while the problem was no longer high on the list of priorities, he would do what he could to alleviate it. Mr. Humm’s own proposal would extend the limit to five working days. “This would effectively give faculty seven days to complete their work, accommodating those faculty who need the extra time. But there’s going to have to be strict adherence,” he declared. fourteen y 0 0 —continued from page 1 Umomzatton...

If they don’t, we jail or ostracize them, call them failures.” .. animal laboratory, but Dr. Howard Rollins, Emory University psychologist and the scientific brains behind Project Success, is quick to point out that its practical application comes from experimentation on human subjects specifically, patients in mental hospitals. In that environment, according to Dr. Rollins, “people behave inappropriately most of the time,” and experimenters “have had enormous success there with retarded children.” Rollins has no patience with people who get uptight 4bout training humans the way animals are trained. “The ATLANTA, Ga. (LNS) Deborah Sims’ fifth grade reading class at Grant Park Elementary School is a model of decorum. The children are quiet, orderly, restrained. They raise their hands when they want to speak and study patiently and silently when instructed to do so. The class is one of many in Atlanta conducted according to principles governing Project Success Environment, a behavior modification program directed by Marion Thompson, principal at Grant Park. Are these orderly Project Success children learning more and better in their disciplined environment or are they just making life easier for their teacher? Are they being trained for productive adult lives or being programmed into docile, passive workers? Teacher Deborah Sims has no qualms about the program. “It tends to make the children more independent and creative,” she says. “They begin to control themselves; this works toward inner control and that, in turn, leads to all the other virtues. They begin to see themselves as productive individuals. Project Success reinforced their awareness that they will be adults and that they must have control in order to do a job. The program puts them in the process of becoming individuals.” - - Authority How does Project Success Environment accomplish substantive changes in children’s behavior? By means of a principle project planners call “positive contingency management” in layperson’s terms, reinforcing only what behavior authority figures consider desirable or correct. Teachers in Project Success are taught to ignore disruptive behavior and to concentrate instead on activity that teachers like, such as working hard or raising hands before speaking. At the beginning of a Project Success year, students are rewarded just for coming to class. Their teacher greets them at the door with a smile and a handful of M&Ms or other candy. The first class day the teacher makes sure each child is rewarded numerous times just for sitting still or other small non-disruptive acts. Children are taught that if they follow a small number of clearly printed rules on the walls of the classroom they will receive check marks on a card which they can trade in for goodies when the card is full. The language of Project Success Environment also reveals its machine-like orientation. The candy given to children on the first day of class is called a “launching device.” The activity room is a “back-up system.” Getting to be a teacher’s helper is referred to as an “activity reinforcer.” The “kernel idea” for Project Success comes from the — point is, behavior modification works beautifully to solve pressing discipline problems,” he says. “You’re in a real bind, a paradox. We put children into the public schools to change their behavior, to teach them society’s values, to make them work effectively in society. How do you decide what those things are you’re going to teach?” says Rollins. Using the analogy of behavior modification programs in prisons, Rollins goes on, “I’d feel society has a right to change behavior if society decides it is harmful. With children, we have even less of a problem. We definitely want children to grow up following society’s Rollins insists that Project Success places no restrictions on individual children’s freedom. TTiis view is not universally shared, however. Bryan Lindsey of the University of Georgia spent a day visiting Project Success classes and was appalled at the limits behavior modification places on the expression of student discontent. “Behavior modification is education for docility,” says Lindsey. “In the final analysis, this program will damage their self-concept. Enthusiasm had been killed in the students I saw killed with kindness.” By stressing only a change in the student’s response to a learning environment, behavior modification totally ignores the conditions that caused the disruptive behavior in the first place. “Unacceptable behavior may be healthy,” points out Dr. Lindsey, “showing that instruction is inappropriate. We should be asking, ‘What is wrong with the program?’ not ‘What’s wrong with the people in the program’?” Lindsey feels that “School is life, an extension of the home; not a place where we should be sheltered from the world.” The real problems of inner-city schools, he explains, is “to give those students their fair share of society’s goods and their behavior will take care of itself. Behavior modification is just a pressure cooker that keeps the lid on. But when intelligent people are manipulated eventually they get mad as hell.” - Automatons Lindsey is not alone in being repelled by the Project Success Environment. Ms. E.D. Edmiston, 8th grade teacher at Lawrenceville Middle School, also visited a Project Success class. “My first impression was that it was extremely good, seeing all that quiet and industriousness,” she said. “But the longer I was there the more I began to feel the students were automatons, not students.” Another teacher labelled the Project Success program she had witnessed as “cruel, inhumane, unreal... During PE (Physical Education) period there wasn’t a smile on a child’s face. During musical chairs, a child who missed the chair showed no emotion, just walked away from the game like a little zombie. There was no animation; all the fun was taken out of learning.” The reward system, Edmiston feels, interrupted the exchange of ideas in animated classroom discussion and prevented students from thinking on their own. Instead, according to Edmiston, students always gave the safe, book answer because they knew it would guarantee them a check on their cards. She feels sure that the program would break down if applied in high schools because more sophisticated, worldly students will recognize it as a system and find ways to beat it. “They’ll laugh at it. But what’s frightening to me is what would happen to behavior mod kids if the program was extended from grade school right up to high school.” CONTEMPORARY FRANCE TICKET POLICY FOR UUAB WEEKEND FILMS This course will present the civilization of Contemporary France as an existential reality, patterned after a coherent value system.

But a funny thing happened on the way to November: those Democrats who voted in Tuesday’s primary preferred to do their own nominating. They rejected every choice of the state committee except Mr. Levitt, who was unopposed in the primary and a virtual institution in the Comptroller’s office. . dominated by downstaters. Democratic advantages for the fall campaign include the present state of the economy, the after-effects of Watergate, and the Nixon pardon. The Democratic candidates have made their names known during the primary, developed personal campaign organizations, and of the Bronx defeated the party’s official choice: Rockland County District Attorney Robert Meehan. The Abrams triumph cannot be considered an upset. He ran a strong race from the. start and was actually expected to receive the nomination until an Convention upstate-downstate balance deal gave Meehan the endorsement. Mr. Abrams will face incumbent Attorney General Louis Lefkowitz in the general election. have managed to mend party divisions along ideological lines. The Democrats also have the advantage of a substantial statewide registration margin. Democratic disadvantages include a lack of funds due to heavy primary spending, some antagonism between camps of primary opponents, and the fact that the primary Carey, Krupsak, Abrams and Clark The primary winners were Hugh Carey for Governor, Mary Anne Krupsak for Lieutenant Governor, Robert Abrams for Attorney-General, and Ramsey Clark for Senate. Carey, a Brooklyn Congressmen, began the campaign underdog but a strong campaign highlighted by a television blitz produced a surprisingly large victory in a race many said was too close to call. The question now is whether Carey ;an unite the party behind him. In Noven.ber Carey will face incumbent Governor Malcolm Wilson. With Samuels out and Carey in, there is considerable speculation that the Democrats will undercut the Irish Catholic vote which Mr. Wilson was said to be depending on. Charges of conflicts-of-interest may dominate the campaign. During the primary, Samuels questioned Carey’s obligations to the oil industry because he had received large contributions, mostly in the form of loans, from his brother, President of New England Petroleum. Wilson has an Lieutenant Governor In the race for Lieutenant Governor, State Senator Mary Anne Krupsak (D., Amsterdam) became the first woman in New York state history to receive the nomination of a major party for a statewide office. She defeated Queens attorney Mario Cuomo and Manhattan Assemblyman Tony Olivieri in a generally dull election. Ms. Krupsak, an upstater of Polish extraction, ran a low-budget campaign while Cuomo and Olivieri, both downstaters and Italian, invested heavily in television campaigns. Ms. Krupsak will oppose Nassau County Executive Ralph Caso in the November 5 election. In the contest for Attorney General, Robert Abrams the incumbent Senator Jacob Javits, always a strong vote-getter. The Clark victory was not much of a surprise; it also represneted a triumph for the McGovern and McCarthy forces (a large part of the Clark organization). In a race so dull that it didn’t even have a primary, incumbent Democrat Arthur Levitt will meet Stephen May of Rochester. Many consider him to be a sacrificial Republican lamb. Republican advantages include the incumbency of Wilson, Lefkowitz, and Javits, the lack of primary wounds, rested candidates, and money saved for the campaign by the absence of a Republican primary. In addition to the Watergate apathy and the registration deficit, other obstacles the Republicans may face include the possible split caused by the indictment (since dropped) of Republican Assembly Leader Perry Dureya, for election law violations, and the absence of Nelson Rockefeller, at the head of the ticket. In retrospect, holding the primary in September may have been a very wise maneuver by Governor Wilson, for it left the Democratic ticket undecided until less than two months before the election. In terms of a “balanced ticket” the Democratic slate remained stable with the exception of Ms. Krupsak, who some gives community the Polish and women representation on the Democratic line. The Democrats, however, have lost their Italian representatives.

The Spectrum Page five . �Lack of foresight The State University of New York may have bitten off more than it can chew when it decided to proceed with inadequately planned construction on the Amherst Campus. For the past couple of weeks, overcrowding on buses between the two campuses has prevented students from getting to classes on time, clogged access to the Main campus for weekend or special activities, and caused large-scale delays on Food Service lines. Although the University is now running over its allocation for buses by approximately $600 secure a day and President Ketter has made efforts additional funds from Albany, it appears that thebusing shortage will not be alleviated for some time to come. At an open forum held this week on the new campus, members of the administration conceded that if every available seat was filled on every bus, there still would not be enough room to accommodate the influx of students. While the shortage of funds from Albany is understandable, it would have been wiser to delay the opening of classes on the new campus until provisions could be made to accommodate all students who have to commute between the two campuses. It Ms unreasonable to expect students, especially those new to the University, to miss classes because of a lack of administrative foresight. Inadequate transportation from the North campus has also led to complications for those who signed up for Food Service's Board Contract plan. In planning for this year, Food Service anticipated that there would not be that great a demand for meals on the weekends, and instituted two weekday-only plans. However, many students who might have purchased groceries have had a difficult time traveling because of the busing problems and have chosen to buy food on campus, causing insufferable lines on weekends for regular Food Service patrons. As a consequence, everyone has been heavily inconvenienced. Considering the millions of dollars that have already been poured into the North campus, it is ironic and unfortunate that students have been forced to bear the brunt of what is essentially poor planning.

Don’t bother answering. If anything worked there wouldn’t be an 80-line hole to be filled on the editorial page at 9:30 a.m. on a deadline night when a tired writer who just blew a chance to use a free pass to a movie has nothing to say, as 30-odd sheets of discarded filler columns litter the floor. Not even that sentence works and that’s just fine because it fits with everything else that’s been going on lately. You can’t eat at Amherst. You can’t find your way around the Ellicott complex. Three or four hundred students get closed out of a course they must have when the instructor knew perfectly well they were coming but no one would listen to him. Supposedly intelligent people scrap a reasonably workable system of handing out schedule cards and come up with a hundred-yard line of wet freshmen. Keep a straight face and say the impeachment process works. Say it quickly ten times. Say the criminal justice system works. Then say “Attica,” or “Nixon.” Memorize this routine from the Marx Brothers classic Animal Crackers: “What this country needs is a seven-cent nickel. We’ve been using the five-cent nickel since 1492 and that’s near a hundred years, daylight Savings. If the seven-cent nickel works out, next year we can go to the eight-cent nickel. Think what that would mean. You could go to a newsstand, buy a three-cent newspaper and get the same nickel back. One nickel carefully used could last a family an entire lifetime.” After you’ve done that, reflect on why it makes more sense than anything that came out of President Ford’s economic summit conference. Try finding a parking space anywhere. Try gettirtg a train somewhere. Don’t even talk about cars, or gasoline, or traffic management. Of the last ten records you bought, how many didn't have scratches or skips? How many of them were worth listening to anyway? Why is it that no matter how bad the music is on AM radio this year, the same songs will bring relief from the usual run of trash next year? Why is it that any organization can do a land office business five minutes after closing or a day after any deadline?

Stuck in the wilderness at 2:30 in the morning. Or was it later? Who cares? All I know is that wo friends and I were trapped out at Ellicott early in the mom because no bus showed. It was there in black and white: arrive at Ellicott at 2:20. But not trusting the notorious birds of blue we got there at 2:00 so we would have plenty of time to catch one of the earlier buses (who would really depend on the very last bus?) to the Main Campus. Well, we waited and waited and waited in that tunnel which resembles a subway station. Security was gracious and gave us a dime to call Bluebird: perhaps they would send out a bus to pick us up. No such luck. They claimed that they sent out a bus at 2:17 with sixty some-odd people on board. But we saw nothing. Luckily we got back to the Main Campus because of the generosity of a good person who went out of his way. But hopefully, the University will try to make the Amherst campus just a little more tolerable by improving bus service. It seems like such a simple, easy thing to do. Alan Most Anti-American rhetoric To the Editor. Throughout the opening week of school, posters were displayed promoting a film called “Lucia.” Nowhere on the posters did it say anything about an admission price. Imagine our dismay when we went into Diefendorf Hall to discover that there was to be a $1.00 admission price. It was bad enough to be deceived by dishonest advertising, but what made it worse was what happened when we took our seats. The film was being shown by a political group that was openly anti-American in stance. The pro Allende-Chile group not only tossed forth rhetoric of pedantic proportions, but they also took up a collection for Chilean refugees. The film began a half hour late after the unexpected begging and huckstering. I question the legality of this type of solicitation, and the legality of the group being allowed to book the hall. The anti-American propaganda was so childish as to be pointless. I do hope, however, that some sort of check can be provided so that when admission is going to be charged, some office will be certain that this fact is made known to the public. - - David Tomkint No funds Kosher Editor's Note: The following letter was sent to President Ketter by Rod Saunders, Chairman of the To the Editor. Dear President Ketter, Survival Campus Ministry. food available I am writing to you in regard to the article in '74 entitled “New restaurant a great Very distressing news has come my way. I have heard that this University did not respond to the request of the Religious Studies Program for funding. In fact, the request was not even honored with a respectful reply. This program has proven itself with four good years of solid courses and very substantial enrollment, yet the University does not even so much as reply, or give a reason why it cannot be permanently established. Several University personnel have given much time to this program. The University has even seen fit to place Bill Baumer as acting chairman, giving DUE status to the program. Every class has been checked out by an .academic committee and approved. The value of these courses to this University Ir somewhere in the range of $20-$30,000 ea«m semester, but not one cent is even given for adminstration, secretary, publicity, or anything! The faculty for these courses are volunteers. The State University System had a study done on religious studies, and a graduate program is to be established at Stony Brook. Buffalo could have had that program with a little support and effort. But besides that, as part of the system we should have a strong program here with a permanent head and administrative personnel. Why can’t we? President Ketter, when 1 came here two years ago 1 was told you were an active United Methodist layperson. This is probably still true, and I do not want to suggest otherwise. But you have shown no concern for this very substantial academic Religious Studies Program. The SUNYAB Community deserves an answer and some responsible action.

The atmosphere is warm and friendly and the service is excellent. While there are a number of New York or kosher “style” restaurants in the area, Martin’s bears the distinction of being the only Kosher restaurant in the community. With a high proportion of Jewish students at the university it certainly would be worthwhile to mention the existence of Martin’s Restaurant. Avenue. This restaurant is not only reasonably priced Ticket Gordon Kadatz office vendetta Committee office, and were told by a secretary To the Editor: On Friday September 6, a friend and I went to attend a showing of the UUAB film Niagara. According to posters on campus, there was, at long last, going to be, for interested people, an admission price for friends of the university, those persons who love movies and are not students or faculty members, but would like to take part in the film activities on campus. My friend is an employee of the university. We tried to purchase tickets as friends, since she could not indentify herself as an employee. We were told by the gentleman in the ticket booth that the planned ticket policy was in abeyance because of implementation problems. Wanting to see the film very much, we turned to a student who purchased our tickets with his I.D. card. Each ticket cost 25 cents. Since we were willing to buy our own tickets at $1.00 each, the film committee lost $1.50. How many others had this problem? We also discovered that ticket policy was fluctuating all day. First they were being sold from noon on, then they weren’t. We called the Film that the policy was still being worked on. The whole situation was foolish and confusing and we realized that other persons, students and staff were also being inconvenienced. We then spoke with a Joseph Klasner, who identified himself as chairman of the Film Committee. He told us that the Film Committee was righting against the ticket office and he was determined to “bring down” the present management of the ticket booth. We find this attitude appalling, since the purpose of the Film Committee is to present interesting movies, not change the structure of the university. It seems unfortunate that a person with this tone is running things. His manner to us was overbearing and a bit condescending, as if two middle-aged women shouldn’t be worrying about such things anyway. I hope the ticket policy is cleared up soon, and we certainly hope that the Film Committee takes a look at its chairman’s one man vendetta against the ticket office. While the Mr. Davidson selling tickets was firm in his viewpoint, at least he was courteous to us both.

Those wishing to audit courses in the professional schools will need authorization from the administrator of the particular school. self-supporting courses and Credit-free students, available to these not be will workshops however, since these are not funded by the state. Aside from the personal and cultural enrichment described by Dean Brutram, the Division of Continuing Education has also designed the Sixty And Older Auditors (SAOA) program to aid senior citizens in looking for new career opportunities. The Adult Advisement Center will administer and interpret tests to the SAOA’s to determine their abilities and interests. Academic advisement will be available through Millard Fillmore College. Since auditors will be permitted only where there is space, auditing registration will not be secured until the second week of classes. No official records will be kept on the SAOA’s, since they will not receive grades. They will, however, be issued a “guest card,” listing their work load and class size. lleneDube Students who have had “elderly” persons in their classes have often noted the unique excitement that these people seem to bring to the classroom. Now, to assure a continuing education to those 60 and older, the New York State Education law has been revised to set up an experimental program allowing them to audit courses here and at other branches of the State University, tuition-free. No grades or tests The new amendment will allow senior citizens to sit in on classes, space permitting, without receiving grades or credits, without taking examinations, and without paying the usual tuition rates, which is a first. “The purpose,” explained Donald Brutram, associate dean of Continuing Education, “is to provide a personal and cultural enrichment to these people,” enriching their lives as members of modern society. Interested senior citizens will be admitted to courses with no prerequisites, in both day and evening divisions. Anyone wishing to take a course with prerequisites may do so if he or she can demonstrate the formal or informal qualifications.

If you are interested, contact the Arts or Music editor. Monologue introductions, entertaining songs just spent the last half hour interviewing the guy. Very by Wills Bsssen funny. Actually, it was. Mull's comedy is two-pronged. Spectrum Music Editor If you've never seen him before (or even if you have), you've gotta know right away that Martin Mull's act is at the very least very strange. I mean, have you ever seen a musician do his gig sitting in an easy chair with an end table (replete with lamp and ashtray) on his right? In a tuxedo? In Mulligan's? Martin came on stage with his usual savoir-faire. A sort of pudgy blonde updated version of Chaplin, a self-effacing smile on his lips, he launched into his first an uptempo — country tune: V "Even though I didn't go to N.Y.U. I'm gonna write my own review At least that way I'll know who I can sue This was very amusing to my companions, who knew I'd .. Not only do his songs range from mildly amusing to brilliantly satirical, but his monologue introductions are often even more entertaining than the songs themselves. For instance: the intro to his love song ("Show Me Yours, I'll Show You Mine") includes a survey of audience embarrassment on seeing explicit sexual objects like a lady's dress shoe a camera (hands, please) and a rope! Q: Do you ever do any serious songs? see life as an absurd comedy and I'm the star!... In my the part of the absolute fool. Q: Well, I think most people can see behind it The Mulligan's crowd at the bar and in the back was very raunchy, and Mull did a few subtle dedications to them (of course, they were too busy talking to notice) like "Drunkard's Waltz" (in 4/4 time). — act I play "Here comes the waitress I think I'll seduce her No maybe just goose her that'd be more like a juicer I'll do it nice and it just might amuse her But I'm a booz abuser so she can't blame me." ... ... A: No Q: Why not? A: Why? « Q: Well, isn't there some serious message you want to get across A: I don't think there's anything to be serious about I .. But seriously, folks Not to give the wrong impression. Mull serious about one thing: his craft. Q: Isn't it harder to write funny songs? I mean, when you're in a good mood, don't you want to go out and do . ... things? A: Oh, I don't have to be in a good mood to write comedy. You can be that clinical about it? (knowing smile and nod) Actually, what I do is get very drunk. When I get that smashed, I lose some of my intelligence . . and then I write from that point of view on the human condition. Mull hasn't seen much of Buffalo, but he was very impressed with Ed Kilgore and "Help Thy Neighbor." One of his best songs was "Jesus Christ Football Star," which combines the two most important Sunday activities for Q: A; . most Buffalonians: "Give Jesus Christ a football let him even up the score Let him run in through the crossbars and be on the cross no more." French toast The other highlight of the show was "Hor D'oeuvre," a song in which he brings "a bit of the banks of the Seine to New York." He donned a snappy red beret, spread a red and white checkered tablecloth over his knees, and began to play the chords to "A Man and A Woman" while making dramatic French singer faces. The song is about how hard it is to say good-bye, "so let's not say goodbye let's just say hor d'oeuvre." You can get away with a lot under the guise of comedy. As he explained before his final encore, he once played for an audience that was so terrible "oh, it's not you folks, you're ace, you know what I mean? But there was this club the chorus of that song was, "I've played before for assholes, but you sure take the cake." I had been sitting on a chair with somebody's clothes on it, and I stood up to finish the interview. Q: Well, good-bye, and thank you. A: Goodbye. Thank you very much. You left nothing but a good impression on Dave's jacket. — — — ... �'Long Goodbye farewell to the defective story .r V J . : by Jay Boyar Arts Editor Genre films (and stories) are at best clever but unspired. Science fiction, horror yarns, war stories, "true" romances, and detective tales almost by definition are not what people mean when they talk about good literature. If a story in a particular genre is good — — literature, people stop thinking about it as a part of that genre. 1984 is, in a sense, science fiction but no one really calls it that. Strictly speaking. The Great Gatsby is a romance tale but it's so much more. Who would seriously refer to Hamlet as a ghost story? These works have gone way past their particular genres into that vast, hot, rocky — — sea called "art." middle A ground exists between the simple genre piece and the artistic achievement. It is the affectionate parody. It is not essentially a formula story because it is highly conscious of and practically giddy about its form, yet it isn't a distinct work of art because its charm and firmly acceptance are so dependent on the audience's even familiarity with obscure, trivial conventions. Current film his In film. The Long Goodbye, director Robert Altman his career of continues affectionate parodies. While in one sense, Altman has been making genre films for years, in another sense, he has never made one. Altman's parodies are meta-genre movies. Brewster McCloud, his nuttiest and romantic film to date, set the trend by involving parodies of practically everything. His M *A *S *H was a war story like no other.

In detective enthusiasts will not take offense at this film, because they will be the only ones capable of getting most of the "in" jokes made at the expense of the genre.

Most notable was Mayute state the theme in the beginning, then they solo. Correa, who did a percussion demonstration a la Weather Report's Dom Um Romao.

That's what Mayute did, and it was a pleasure. playing. Unsound sound Now that is pure foolishness. Any band that is going to play through a PA should have someone with them who knows what they sound like in order to adjust the iiaiance and tones of the instruments. Other good vibes came from Freddie, who did a rap about the school ("Where's Shepp? Is he still here? Where's Charlie Mingus? What did they do with him?'') [Archie Shepp and Charlie Mingus both used to be on the staff of the State University of ed.) and about the Buffalo Music Department show. Last year, Freddie was scheduled to do a concert and he never showed. To avoid legal action, he agreed to do this one for very little money. As it turned out, he almost missed this one too, but arrived in time and in very good spirits besides. He affected everyone with his charm, and made everyone feel easy for a change. But underneath it all was that feeling of having heard it all before, that nagging boredom which can only be erased by freshness, by energy, and by new sounds and musical concepts, and that, in a nutshell, is why Freddie Hubbard is not Miles Davis.

What is the music business coming An invitation Holding a mirror to Blau photography Departing from the documentary and narrative forms of photography, we experience an exhibition of photographs that forces us to confront an aspect of ourselves. In Memory of Max Beckman is a current exhibition of photographs by Richard Blau, who is on the faculty of the American Studies Department at the State University at Buffalo. The photographs that people deal with usually fall into one of three sacrificial altar. Again, who was that woman at the door? Where did we go? What did we experience? Was it death? To experience photographs you have to let your mind explore the images, and from them create narrative, documentary, and illustrative. A fourth category of images is that categories: which deals with the psyche. It is possible to approach an image at all four levels, but what must be considered is the images intent of the image.

Prodigal Sun �'A Free Woman' A film that's got everything going for it. and more .. by life has just begun!" is the film's biggest irony and Elizabeth looks relieved to have gotten it all over Randi Schnur — Assistant Arts Editor with. Elizabeth is a free woman . . well, isn't she? After all, whe's 29, intelligent, reasonably talented, and freshly divorced. She is quite independent or so the men she can't leave, from her resentful ex-husband to her new lover and including a sad series of sexist employers, keep telling her. But her freedom is defined entirely in terms of these men, created by them and for them. Like so many of her sisters, Elizabeth can't quite make herself see this all-important fact; the tiny flickers of understanding she occasionally reaches burn more than they brighten. A Free Woman is Volker Schlondorff's film record of her circular and doomed search for the self which must be in there someplace. It is pessimistic and sometimes horribly depressing but it also provokes the anger Elizabeth never thought to feel, the most necessary ingredient for change. A Free Woman is billed as "a sad comedy." It is a comedy of the absurd, for Elizabeth's situation exemplifies an absurd social system; and her near-helplessness in her world of men makes it part tragedy as well. It is also a gentle, lovely portrait of a woman who knows, deep down in a tiny corner of herself, that there is something more to be had from life than she's already found but she'll be damned . — Prarie dogs of tha world unite!

Comprised of former students of Goddard College in Vermont, the troupe does acrobatics, juggling, unicycling and fire eating in a theatrical context. The troupe has studied mime and clown artistry in Paris with Etienne DeCroux, Tudor Bono, and Jacques LeCoq. A nearby outdoor barbecue will complete the circus atmosphere with candy apples, popcorn, and cotton candy. The troupe will conduct a workshop at 11 a.m. in the Ellicott Complex Theater, designed to "bring out the clown ip yourself," which Mr. LeCoq feels lies dormant in everyone. Hurry, hurry, hurry! The workshop is limited to only 35 styidents. (3)&an£jSfe fmou3)&ne3nn6shrDulnhr&Fmii$ “Shoes made for feet” Elizabeth's ex-husband, apparently shares none of her uncertainty, sees no possible reasons for her need to escape, and bitterly resents what he cannot understand. ("A Judas kiss," he mutters after her parting gesture on the steps of the divorce court, to which she can only reply, "Oh, you take everything the wrong way.") He decides to combat her pigheadedness like a true fellow swine: if independence is what she wants, he'll make sure she has it, right up to forfeiture of her responsibility for raising their son Nicholas. The little boy is, of course, the male who most completely dominates her life and possesses her mind; she becomes obsessed by the desire to win custody of him from Hans-Helmut, until finally she depends more for her survival on the men in the family than she ever did before her divorce. £Vt*fen Finding herself Her frantic efforts to establish her identity as a woman and at the same time prove herself at least as "responsible" as Hans-Helmut throw Elizabeth on the mercy of a staggering array of voice teachers, dancing masters, shop owners, and so forth. As a tour guide at the Munich Olympics, she surrenders to a bunch of middle-aged Japanese men who can't understand a word she says but all want to have their pictures taken with her. Working in a clothing store, she surrenders for awhile longer to a boss who wouldn't let her off her feet if the building fell on her, and later almost loses to her next employer, the lecherous (albeit philosophical) director of an art gallery who wants nothing more than to knock her off her feet. And when boyfriend Oskar finally talks her back into marriage, thus making her even more suitable a guardian for Nicholas than the newly-affianced Hans-Helmut, it is the ultimate sell-out. Oskar's plea to her not to "give up now — as babies," sound naive but warm and human in the most positive sense of the word. Of course, all of the characters in A Free Woman are eminantly human; the film's subtlety is its greatest virtue, and it has many others going for it. Nearly all of the performances are perfect, especially those of Georg Manischka as the really gross but friendly-to-a-fault gallery owner and Dr. Konrad Farnh as the angelic art historian. Margarethe von Trotta (who also co-authored the screenplay, with director Schlondorff), as the very domitable Elizabeth, seems alternately incandescent and burnt-out, and is sensitive and extremely beautiful at every point in-between. And Sven Nykvist (Bergman's responsible cameraman) favorite for the scenery — is enough said about that\ Volker Schlondorff has put together a collection of small wonders that sparkles despite its sadness, and A Free Woman is a high spot (even if an unheralded one) in a very unliberated season.

The men knew what to do and where to go while maintaining their socially defined priorities of father and provider. Once they became soldiers, society gave them the right to neglect these priorities, she said. Debts are disregarded and in a sense, the man is free. “War puts the man in a psychologically very secure situation.” In order to obtain relevance in their work, women had to link themselves to a soldier. It became vital to be the mother, wife or daughter of someone in the military. Not every woman had a soldier in the army and “these women were not used to their capacity even though the economy needed them,” Dr. Paden-Eisenstarr reiterated.

The budgets also reflect the fact that the separate teams do a lot of traveling together, which cuts down on travel costs. “It’s simply more convenient that way,” Anderson claimed. Ms. Anderson, who will continue as volleyball coach (a post she has had for the past five years), would like to see the program remain stable, unless the men’s program is upgraded. “If the men’s program grows we should grow too,” she stated. However she feels her programs cannot grow if the rapid turnover of coaches continues. “My own personal view,” she asserts, “is that we have to attract and maintain very good woman coaches. We can’t be competitive until we do that.” Last week the Athletic Department announced the of Cindy Anderson to the new post, Coordinator of Women’s Athletics. The new appointee revealed that her duties w 11 involve scheduling, budgeting and the use of Clark Hall’s limited facilities. Anderson enters the post at a time when the women’s program is growing rapidly. In terms of funding, women’s athletics will receive in the neighborhood of $16-18,000 this year as opposed to only $8000 last year. Anderson reports that the major increases are in the larger teams (i.e. basketball, volleyball and tennis) where funding has doubled. The budgets of the smaller women’s teams, where there is less participation, have remained the same. (The women’s program fields varsity squads in basketball, bowling, field hockey, golf, gymnastics, swimming, tennis and volleyball.) appointment Improvements Recently passed Congressional legislation (Title IX) stipulates that women’s athletic programs receive equitable funding and opportunities compared to the men’s teams at a given educational institution. While unsure whether the department has fully complied, Anderson feels they are certainly moving in that direction. “We’ve gotten a lot of new equipment and new uniforms,” she said. “We won’t have to share uniforms (among different teams) anymore. We also have practice uniforms for the first time,” she added. More women out Increased funding and better equipment should encourage more girls to try out for the teams, a critical problem in the past. “There are many good women athletes on this campus that we haven’t attracted,” Anderson said. “Lack of publicity has been once cause.” However, this year’s publicity drive has had gratifying results. The turnout for volleyball tryouts has doubled from 20 to 40 women. Similar results are expected for other sports. of OcLci Intramurals This fall, the Intramural department will be presenting a full program of athletics, including men’s football, coed football, lacrosse, volleyball, and tennis. The following is a schedule of entry deadlines and organizational meetings. All meetings will be in room 3, Clark Hall, at 4:30 p.m. of the day listed: Today Football Captains meeting; Sept. 16 Football leagues begin; Sept. 17 Coed football entries due; Sept. 18 mandatory coed football captains meeting; Sept. 18 tennis entries due; Sept. 19 Mandatory lacrosse meeting for all interested players; Sept. 10 Coed football leagues start; Sept. 23 Volleyball entries due; Oct. 2 Mandatory volleyball Lacrosse entries due; Oct. 1 captains meeting; Oct. 8 Volleyball league starts. All future intramural announcements will appear in the sports information section of the Backpage. - - - - - - - — - - - GIF by Bruce Engel One part of Warren Breisblatt’s commentary (The Spectrum Sept. 11) that really rang true was the fact that there is a lack of a coherent athletic policy. Nothing very specific has come out of the SA office recently. Nothing at all, save the picking up of facilities rental, is heard from the administration on this issue. It is time for these groups to come out with some policy statement as a starting point. In the meantime, the department can only grope, as unsure of the they have done for several years future, with no stability in funding, trying to please as many people as possible and keep all its programs afloat. Necessary increases in the funding of women’s sports, intramurals and recreation have placed an even greater strain on the situation. Sharp criticism was leveled against the funding of athletics during SA budget hearings last spring. More of the same is probable unless a workable program is established. It would appear that unless the administration can kick in with a lot of money. the students will have to insist on either dropping the small teams in order to develop the bigger ones, or maintaining all sports at low levels. Logic goes against the first option and favors the second option, along with entrance into the SUNY conference. However, the main thing is that the department cannot continue to sit on the fence. The dropping of crew is unfortunate, but it shows a willingness to take the kind of strong steps that are necessary. Let’s hope that it won’t be too little and too late. , Seventeen months ago, at Buffalo’s last athletic banquet, then-Student Association (SA) President Jon Dandes said that Lake LaSalle, at that time under construction on the Amherst Campus, would not, as previously thought, be big enough for rowing races. Jon added that the lake had been the major reason for continuing crew as a varsity sport, but since the lake was inadequate, the sport would need a new justification. In his own mind Jon never found one. Throughout the rest of his term of office, Jon’s feelings about the sport were well known in SA circles. A few weeks ago Dandes’ desire came to pass, when Athletic Director Harry Fritz decided to drop the sport. The reasons were first and foremost economic, but in many ways the sport was as out of place as Dandes had suspected. Races were held where students could not see them. Rental at the West Side Rowing Club was expensive. Participation was not exactly overwhelming. Very few people will miss crew, although those few will miss it dearly. I feel deeply for those athletes that h'lve lost their activity, one which seems to engulf the heart and soul of the participant. But for the rest of us, the passing of crew is insignificant, in and of itself, although what it symbolizes for athletics as a whole may be very important. — by Dave Hnath Well, the Wizard is back again for another year of picks and puns! This week is the season opener for the NFL, and a lot of home fans will be going away unhappy. Here go the first week of choices, with some perilous seasonal predictions to follow: Dallas 24, Atlanta 14 Although the Cowboys are on the way down, they should still capture a weakened division. The Falcons fell apart at the end of last year, and should continue to do so. Philadelphia 21, St. Louis 7 The Eagles, behind Roman Gabriel’s passing, could find themselves in the wild-card spot at the end of the year. Washington 18, N.Y. Giants 10 Redskin age starting to tell. George Allen even has a rookie or two this year. Giants, without Randy Johnson, don’t belong in the same stadium with most NFL clubs. Minnesota 14, Green Bay 10 Vikings should capture key Central Division contest and go on to sweep division laurels. Detroit 28, Chicago 21 Lions win this one for McCafferty they won’t win many more. Los Angeles 35, Denver 21 Rams should run over just about everyone en route to the big one. San Francisco 14, Woeful Saints known as slow starters; big test for New Orleans 0 49ers. Miami 27, New England 3 Dolphins in a tune-up for critical Buffalo game next week. Pats should improve behind Plunkett, but not that much. Kansas City 1 7, N. Y. Jets 10 Two teams on the way out. Chiefs will drop from the top two in the Western Division for the first time. Jets to pull up Eastern Division rear. Cincinnati 24, Cleveland 21 Bengals overcome dissension, take Ohio title. Pittsburgh 34, Baltimore 7 Steelers have three top notch quarterbacks, including rare Black starter, Joe Gilliam. San Diego 10, Houston 7, Chargers will have trouble winning, but hapless Oilers will find a way to lose to them. Monday night: Buffalo 27, Oakland 24 Buffalo offense is rolling. Leypoldt will make the difference, as “the Judge” picks up over 100. Predictions: In the NFC, Los Angeles should nip Minnesota in the title contest, with Dallas and Philadelphia eliminated in the first round It looks like Miami over Buffalo in the AFC, with Cincinnati and Denver taking the other divisions.

After ten years in the House of Representatives, including a stint on the House Judiciary Committee, which recommended three articles of impeachment against Richard Nixon, the Democratic Congressman from Detroit knows too much to believe that this country can save itself through liberal reform, the two party system, or even the work of his own political party. Mr. Conyers doggedly pursued this theme in the Fillmore Room Monday night, telling an attentive crowd that the country needs “systematic” change. “After one decade in Congress, I realize that typical liberal politics isn’t going to work,” he said. Mr. Conyers has twice attempted to depose House Majority Leader Carl Albert from his post as Speaker of the House by running against Albert himself. His reason at the time: “the failure of the Democratic leadership to assume vigorous, progressive positions on national issues and on progressive reform.” “I ran against Albert because I know that the Democratic leadership in Congress has about as much reform in mind as some cockroach walking in the corner,” Mr. Conyers explained. disappointment at finding fellow blacks who want to work with the Republican Party. “If both parties ain’t worth a damn, why join one or the other,” he reiterated Mr. Conyers also cited racism' and unemployment as conditions that keep this country immune from change. “As long as we can divide this country on buses or races or class,” he said emphatically, “it doesn’t matter what color your collar is. You begin to see that racism is necessary to the system.” “I am just about at the end of my life in fighting for reform in the Democratic Party,” he declared. Do it your way? Mr. Conyers then invited the audience to ask questions. When the first speaker identified herself as a member of the U.S. Labor Party, and was followed by a second and a third, Mr. Conyers asked them to relinquish the microphone so that others could have ‘Anti-student’ BupiANSKV CIA spent millions to aid Chilean coup The Nixon Administration authorized more than $8 million for covert activities by the Central Agency (CIA) between 1970 and 1973 to make for President impossible it Salvadore Allende to govern, The New York Times reported Sunday. CIA Director William E. Colby, top-secret at a testifying Congressional hearing last April, said the goal of the clandestine activities was to “destabilize” the Marxist government of President Allende, who was slain in a violent coup last Sept. 11. He also disclosed that the CIA had intervened against Dr. Allende in 1964 when he was running for president against Eduardo Frei Montalva, who was supported by the United States. The CIA, Mr. Colby testified, used heavy cash payments to aid in the downfall of the Allende which government, was Administration control over CIA activities after CIA trained Cuban exiles failed in the Bay of Pigs. Intelligence considered antagonistic toward the United States. He maintained that the agency’s activities, which had been tried in other countries before Dr. Allende’s election, were approved by the 40 Committee in Washington, a secret, high-level intelligence panel headed by Secretary of State Kissenger. The 40 Henry Committee was originally set up by President Kennedy to provide Deliberately misled Mr. Colby initially provided information about the CIA’s involvement in Chile at a special one-day hearing before the House Armed Services Committee last April 22. High officials in the State Department and White House repeatedly and deliberately misled the public and the Congress about the extent of United States involvement in the internal affairs of Chile during the Allende years, Mr. Colby testified. Not long after Dr. Allende was elected in September 1970, high Chilean officials reportedly told newsmen that the “United States lacks political, economic or military leverage to change the course of events in Chile, even if the Administration wished to do so.” Soon afterward, Mr. Colby maintained, $500,000 was authorized by the 40 the help Committee to anti-Allende groups, who had already received the same amount from them in 1969. After Mr. secretly Allende’s victory was ratified by the Chilean Congress in October 1970, $350,000 was authorized by the 40 Committee in an unsuccessful effort to bribe —continued on page 2— Making no visible effort to conceal his straight-from fhe-shoulder opinions of college students, he said he was becoming “anti-student because students are one of the biggest put-ons in the country. There are a lot of people on campuses and in schools who think its cool to be progressive in school, and then go out and cut their hair and put on ties and go into debt and complain about taxes,” the Congressman said. “When are hou going to do something about the people you send to Congress?” he demanded of the audience. Depicting our way of life as increasingly vague and frustrating, Mr. Conyers claimed that more and more people feel “trapped in a system.” “We are at a point,” he stressed, “where we can predict serious energy and water shortages, and what the reactions to these shortages will be. There may, in short, be revolution.” Thinking back on his own political growth, he described John Conyers, the rookie Congressman, as “an issue junkie.” Mr. Conyers explained the process by which liberal people go to Congress and begin chipping away at typically liberal issues like welfare reform, full employment and busing. “These issues are immaterial because the two-party system insures either nothing will happen or that we will regress,” he asserted. Democrats, Mr. Conyers contended, guaranteed little or no change while Republicans ensured a step backward. Standstill The two-party system has brought the American political system to a standstill Mr. Conyers emphasized. “Political parties effectively determine the of election after election,” he maintained. “1 was with McCarthy in ’68, McGovern in ’72, but I’ll be damned if I’ll be with Fritz Mondale in ’76. Liberal reform is not going to be the answer friends,” Mr. Conyers declared. “We find ourselves at a point where we cannot rely on liberal reform, but systematic change,” he continued. Taking liberal reform outside the party is not going to do anything unless you deal with that change, he admonished, explaining his Rep. John Conyers a chance to speak. One distraught woman had to be escorted from the microphone before questioning could resume. “I’m not at a point to give a straight out ansewers to where we’re going, but I didn’t come here to get run down by the U.S. Labor Party,” the Congressman said. “Maybe the U.S. Labor Parly is hip and has a good solution, but you can’t line up four speakers who say unless you do it our way, you’re a bunch of chumps.” Over a ten-year period, Mr. Conyers has authored a strengthening amendment to the Fair Housing section of the 1966 Civil Rights Bill, organized three fact-finding missions to Alabama and Mississippi to investigate violations of civil and voting rights. He also convened the National Assembly on Legal Justice in 1973, which held public hearings on the criminal justice system, and organized House Judiciary subcommittee hearings on a six-year single term Presidency. Mr. Conyers seemed poised between conventional politics and other ways of dealing with the future. He says he wants to raise questions and get people thinking about them. “We must develope an ideology,” he surmised, but then added, almost apologetically; “I didn’t come here to spread further gloom and doom and hopelessness; I’m just a tired Black Democrat who’s sick of the reform route.” �Si leaker’s Bureau Bringing the nationally known to greatest number of students The 1974-75 Student Association Speakers Bureau November 6 Frederic Straska, founder of the program, which brings nationally known lecturers and National Society for the Prevention of Rape.

The plan was later rejected as unworkable. Discriminatory politics While the CIA was pursuing these activities, Mr. Colby the reported, United States reduced its foreign-aid grants to Chile in development bank loans and lines of credit from American commercial banks. Commodity credits for vital grain purchases were also restricted. Although U.S. officials have claimed there was no deliberate program to limit economic aid to the Allende government, critics are quick to point out that large-scale loans are now on their way to Chile. In 1964, Mr. Colby testified, some American corporations in Chile volunteered to serve as conduits for anti-Allende funds, but the proposal was rejected, Mr. Colby testified. After Dr. Allende’s election, he added, the 40 Committee authorized $5 million for more “destabilization” efforts in 1971, 1972, and 1973. Anti-Allende candidates in last year’s Chilean municipal elections were provided with $1.5 million, while additional funds were given to an unidentified anti-Allende in Rep. to Michael J. Harrington, a member of the Congressional Committee, to “funding was provided individuals, political parties and media outlets in Chile, through channels in other countries in both Latin America and Europe.” Disavows knowledge Mr. Kissinger, in his only public comment on the Allende coup, told the Senate Foreign Relations Committee last year that “the CIA had nothing to do with the coup, to the best of my knowledge and belief, and I only put that qualification in case some madman appears drwn there who without instructions talked to somebody. the military junta seized control Santiago. The full plan in authorized in August was called off when the military coup occurred less than one month later,” Mr. Harrington wrote. In the summer of 1973 the 40 Committee had turned down a request for $50,000 to support a nationwide truckers’ strike that was the Chilean crippling government, Mr. Harrington quoted Mr. Colby as testifying. “In the period before the coup,” according to one source, “there was a pretty firm view on the part of the 40 Committee which is Kissinger and nobody else that the Allende government was bound to come to destruction and had to be thoroughly discredited.” — — Kissinger for obstruction “The ■'State Department supported this, but in a different way,” the official said. “It wanted us to stretch out any clandestine activities to permit the regime to a political end. The argument, he added, “was between those who wanted to use force and end it quickly rather than play it out. Henry was on the side of the former he was for considerable obstruction. All of the officials interviewed by the Times emphasized that the come to — influential CIA newspaper According Santiago. 1 have absplutely no reason to suppose it.” In a letter dated July 18, 1974, Mr. Harrington quoted Mr. Colby as testifying that the 40 Committee had authorized $1 million for “further political destabilization” activities in August 1973, one month before was not authorized to play any direct role in the coup. Most of them also pointed out that the denials by the agency of involvement in the internal affairs of Chile were in the context of a the specific U.S. role in overthrow.

Waits of up to 45 minutes were reported in the newly opened Ellicott Complex. Adding to the problem were empty or broken vending machines, according to claims made by resident students. Isolated from the fast food outlets which are easily accessible from the Main Campus, Ellicott board patrons had little choice but to facilities in Porter and Red Jacket Quads and the student club were never open at the same times. “If two lines were open at the same time, it would have relieved the pressure,” he said. Cooking facilities in Fargo Quad were unavailable for use this weekend, Mr. Bozek also explained. Three weeks ago, state inspectors condemned the steam boilers needed for cooking, and lines of 10 or 12 people to back up for more than half an hour. ‘Next week: Intolerable’ Mr. Weber commented that the food service troubles “for one weekend are excuseable, but for two weekends would be intolerable.” ■■ Mr. Bozek said that they “just didn’t have large enough facilities,” which, with a combination of other difficulties, caused all the problems. But he added that “as of this weekend, we should be able to handle it.” “I have always had reservations about only having weekday board,” said Leigh Weber, president of the Inter-Residence Council. “What should have been “It had been my understanding that in Goodyear the regular food service line cafeteria would be used, but with the limited number of entrees used in cash line service,” he said. Many students apparently had a similar impression, and would walk up to the normal Goodyear cafeteria board contract doors only to find them locked. “The manager of Goodyear is trying to open up one done was to have personnel on of the lines in the main room,” Mr. Bozek calimed, adding that he was fairly confident it would be ready for use this weekend. Last year’s board plans included two options, one of which provided for 20 meals a week and five meals on weekends. This year food service offers 10 and 15 meal weekday plans with the option of purchasing either $50 worth of food coupons for $45 or paying $90 for a $100 coupon book. Coupons cannot be transferred or refunded and may not be used to purchase alcoholic beverages. In April, the Food Service Board of Directors mandated that a student group be set up for input into a study of possible changes in board plans. Participating students included Mr. Weber and Student Association' (SA) Student Affairs Coordinator Howie Shapiro. According to Mr. Bozek, it “was by mutual agreement to try a Monday-to-Friday plan.” Mr. Bozek believes that in the long run students will save with the coupons-only weekend plan. “Weekend board is a very commodity,” Mr. Weber said. A certain number of people are necessary to open a expensive stand in line. Waits of up to an hour were also encountered by Main Campus residents on the board plan. They could dine only at the cash line in Goodyear basement or at the Rathskellar in Norton Hall, both of which were used heavily during traditional mealtimes. ‘Try A&P’ At the Governor’s Residence Complex, students also waited up to 45 minutes on the cash line in Roosevelt Cafeteria, which was the only line operating in the Complex. “We could have gone to A&P, “The main reason I’m on baord is for the convenience and the time it should be saving me,” said another sourly, standing in line in Goodyear basement. Bob Burrick, director of Energy and Resources for Sub Board I, attributed the tie-ups at Ellicott to the fact that separate these would probably not be ready for use until this coming weekend. Hopefully, this would alleviate some of the congestion, he said. “The physical problems with the building are understandable,” Mr. Burrick continued, “but the problems came with the cash-carry service, when they had the feasibility and operating power to open up two lines, but didn’t.” Mr. Burrick noted that “bus service was not up to a point where (North Campus) students could just jump on a bus. They were forced onto Food Service lines.” Too few, too new “Long lines in Red Jacket shouldn’t be a problem as of today,” Mr. Bozek promised. “We had assumed that like last year most students wouldn’t be around LUNCH and DINNER WE0i-»5M.

However, Mr. Burrick maintained that service at the North Campus during the week was “not much better (than the weekend).” on reserve call.” number of students A complained that-cafeteria facilities were understaffed or staffed by help unfamiliar or inexperienced with their jobs, contributing to the slowdown and waits. Mr. Bozek also noted that many food service employees were new and had not yet settled into their jobs. At the cash line in Goodyear basement, for example, no more than three people worked at any one time. This caused even short line, he explained. Apparently, with weekend board students dwindling, the cost of board the additional labor made non-weekend contracts seem very attractive. In the past, Mr. Bozek asserted, board contractees averaged about 60% of the dormitory population. This year there are 2362 students on some kind of plan. There is no average figure available yet. Summing up this past weekend’s events, Mr. Bozek said, “We kind of got caught.” ’ shopped, come back, and cooked ourselves a meal in the time it took us to wait on line,” one student observed in disgust. No reserve Cash flow problem hits SA The Student Association (SA) is taking steps to weather a short-term cash problem. The problem is not serious according to SA treasurer Sal Napoli, but will require tight control over spending until about mid-year. Every year, SA collects a mandatory fee of $67 from each full-time undergraduate student. Part-time students pay a proportional rate depending on the number of credit-hours they take. None of this money is released to SA until roughly mid-October, when the Office of Admissions and Records compiles accurate figures on the undergraduate population and the actual amount of revenue collected is known. Normally, a cash reserve is held over from the previous year to pay for expenses incurred before the first checks come from the administration. But Mr. Napoli explained that SA was going to pay off its back debts with the cash reserve and didn’t have enough extra cash to meet additional expenses. Conservative budget This past summer, the SA Executive Committee passed the 1974-75 budget after the Assembly failed to complete work on it before the end of the spring semester. That budget is based on what Mr. Napoli called a “conservative estimate” of revenue from student fees. The allocations made in that budget are not ironclad financial commitments to the various organizations, he stressed, but can be adjusted up or down by the Assembly. Supplementary budget requests will not be considered until the exact amount of revenue is settled. Current estimates say that it will exceed the roughly $824,000 figured in the budget. In the meantime, Mr. Napoli has instituted a “funds available” system to allocate and disperse what cash there is. The most pressing expense is fall orientation. “There’s a fall orientation, freshmen paid three dollars for it, and it has to be paid for,” Mr. Napoli said. All other expenses will have to be delayed. Mr. Napoli indicated that spending on credit would be restricted. Memoranda have been distributed to funded organizations explaining changes in financial regulations. But it is expected that problems will arise until this year’s funds are released. Until then, the prospect is for sharply restricted expenses. Wednesday, 11 September 1974 The Spectrum . Page three . �)* * IV-V #v Conference margarine. The U.S. has banned the importation or use of all whale derivatives since 1970. Besides the fact that Japan has exported thousands of tons of whale meat for pet food and ranch mink food in recent years, whale meat currently provides only about one percent of the total protein consumed by the Japanese. In addition, of the 37,300 whales authorized by the IWC to be killed in the next year, 23,000 will be sperm whales which are not consumed by humans urges action against continued whaling Amidst mounting pressures urging a 1 O-year moratorium on whaling, the International Whaling Commission (IWC) recently have wound up an annual week of talks in London with hopes of what the American delegation head termed, “a major change in the outlook for the preservation of the world’s whales.” As in recent years, Japan and the Soviet Union broke with the other nations at the IWC meeting, voting against any form of a moratorium. Together, Japan ahd the Soviet Union take about 85 percent of the annual kill and are now the targets of attempts for an economic boycott by U.S. conservationists. Prior to the late-June IWC meeting on the banks of the Thames, representatives from the 17 largest conservation groups in America, including the National Wildlife Federation, Sierra Club, National Audubon Society, Fund for Animals, Animal Welfare Institute, The Wilderness Society and others, held a joint press conference to protest the intransigent whaling policies of Japan and the Soviet Union. Following the session, representatives of the 17 groups, comprising over four and 1/3 million members, called on the embassies of the two countries and urged both to “re-evaluate your previous objections” to the 10-year moratorium on commercial whaling. Charging the two countries with having “blocked all progress toward implementing the will of the other (IWC) member nations” and “refusing to abide by even modest conservation measures," the conservationists concluded that “drastic economic pressure was our only recourse.” “We are unanimous in our agreement that an important element in such a program is the 10-year moratorium,” the conservationists stated in a joint letter to Japan and the Soviet Union. “Should your governments continue to obstruct the effort to guarantee the protection of whales, we will have little choice but to continue and expand economic pressure.” Members of the IWC had already agreed to cease hunting five of the nine great species of whale, including the humpback, bowhead, gray, right, and the Quotas cut World-wide quotas for the taking of s ome what species were also cut slightly a he IWC session, although the U.S. commissioner to the IWC, Robert White, administrator of the National Oceanic and CWFONGjr and are principally used for industrial purposes critically-depleted blue whale, the largest creature ever to exist. Though U.S. scientists and other international authorities admit that a solid date is sketchy, reliable population statistics point towards the severe reduction of the remaining species with some in possible jeopardy of extinction. The Japanese and Soviets disagree, arguing that their census statistics indicate an easily harvestable surplus. The Japanese bolster their argument by stating that whale killing is of great importance to the nation’s diet and economy. Satisfactory substitutes have been found for all whale products, including lubricants, cosmetics, soap, paint, shoe polish and Concern over boycott Real concern about the impact of the American consumer boycott has been openly expressed by both the Soviets and Japanese. The president of the U.S. branch of the company that makes Datsun and Nissan Motors has even written the Japanese Prime Minister urging the government to get out of the whaling business because of the economic impact of the boycott. Many other Japanese exporters have also felt the anti-whaling pressure, including Sony, Toyota, Panasonic and S&W Fine Foods. \ - ramble 1-4 credits.

Atmospheric Administration, acknowledges that “quotas are still being of the set too high, particularly in view long-term or irreversible losses of the resource.” In addition, the Commission voted to strengthen the budget for the Secretatiat and its research activities by 500 percent. Dr. White indicated that the achievements of the IWC were “gratifying” and added that, “a critical element in changing the attitude of the International Whaling Commission has been the advocacy of strong whale conservation measures by non-governmental organizations.” Whether consumer boycott efforts in the U.S. are stepped up and what will happen to the potentially progressive moves of the IWC now depends on actions taken by the Japanese and Soviets between now and early fall. If those countries decide to ignore the world’s whaling sentiments, then surely a massive last-ditch effort to save whales will be mounted against those nations.

If it holds, the accepted version may eliminate the danger of serious depletion of individual stocks of whales, such as the fin whale, which falls below optimum population levels, and, for the first time, all whale stocks will not be managed by ocean areas rather than the oceans as a whole. Harvest quotas would thus be set for individual areas. U.S. experts feel that this “will enable much improved conservation and management by individual whale stocks.” • ; * — �Chilean Anniversar Military coup remembered in downtown demonstration today by Kyle Steenland Special to The Spectrum One year ago today, a Chilean naval fleet steamed from the port of Valparaiso to join a U.S. fleet for joint maneuvers at sea. The Chilean ships left early, at 6 a.m., but they didn’t get very far. By 7 a.m. they were back in port and had sent sailors ashore to occupy the city’s public buildings. The military coup, which was to overthrow the socialist government of Salvadore Allende had begun. When President Allende was informed of the naval action in Valparaiso, he wasn’t exactly surprised. Both the Navy and the Air Force had been expected to support some kind of coup attempt. But Allende felt that he could rely on the Army, as he had done that June 29 when another coup had failed. The Army, larger by far than both the Air Force and Navy, controlled key positions throughout the country. Allende, thinking the outbreak was confined to Valparaiso, called on Army Chief Augusto Pinochet to put down the rebellion. But Pinochet was in on the coup. Gen. Prats, the previous Amy chief, had been a firm supporter of the constitution and had refused to back a coup. In fact, he had personally led troops loyal to Allende in putting down the attempted coup in June. But Prats, the target of an intense right-wing campaign, had been forced to resign a few weeks earlier. This left Pinochet in charge of the Amy. Prepare resistance Allende then went to the Presidential Palace in Santiago to prepare a resistance effort. He had counselled the left against amed resistance to a coup, judging such action to be suicidal. He had trusted Gen. Pinochet, but when Pinochet betrayed him, he and 30 of his civilian followers barricaded themselves in and managed to resist the onslaught of Army tanks from 8 a.m. until 2 p.m.; doing himself what he had advised the left not to do. They fought the unequal battle heroically, but the bombing of the Palace by Air Force jets amed with American-made rocket bombs was too much for them. The roof of the Palace soon caved in, and the defenders were confined to the lower levels. Seventeen rocket bombs hit the Palace around noon; by 2 p.m. all the defenders, including Allende, had been killed. The military later said that Allende had committed suicide, but all available evidence indicates otherwise. He refused several times an offer from the military to fly him out of the country if he surrendered, and when the Palace was finally occupied it is believed he was killed by a certain Capt. Gallardo. the pro-U.S. Organization of the American States (OAS) recently confirmed the tortures. Further government efforts to “save democracy” in Chile since Sept. 11 have included closing the Congress; banning all political parties; disbanding the trade unions; forcing the population to work four extra hours 3“ week; closing or censoring the press; establishing a curfew and martial law; and finally, banning “the spreading of rumors.” Military policies The economic policies of the military have not been very popular either. Prices were freed from State control, and inflation has risen over 500% since the coup. Increases for food items are nearly 1000%. Chile has the highest inflation in the world, but wages have risen only about 300%. Since the coup, Chilean workers have lost about 50% of their real wages. Of course, such economic policies can be enforced only through terror. Meanwhile, an incredible 20% of the working population has been fired for political reasons. But if the world repudiates the Chilean dictatorship, if England has suspended all aid, if Italy has broken diplomatic relations, then who is backing the Chilean military? Chile is a poor country and needs international aid; the U.S. has provided it. In this one year, the U.S. government, private American banks, and U.S.-controlled “international banks” (World Bank, Inter-American Development Bank, etc.) have given Chile over $600 million. In the three years under Allende, however, Chile received only about $50 million in loans, the result of a credit blockade that wreaked havoc with the land’s internal economy. American aid This year, the Nixon-Ford administration has asked for $21 million in military aid to Chile more than double the $10 million average of the preceding four years. - Sen. Edward Kennedy (D.-Mass.) and Rep. Michael Harrington (D.-Mass.) have introduced bills to restrict this military aid. U.S. corporations have also backed the junta. General Gem il Mi id Dow Chr ical Casualties Many of the poor people of Chile, principally the factory workers, resisted in those areas where leftist parties were unable to communicate Allende’s orders to retreat. Many thousands died fighting. More were shot after surrendering to the overwhelming military forces. Hundreds of military men were executed for refusing to obey orders. Top officers known to be against the coup had been rounded up and shot the night before. Pinochet and his conspirators took power to “save democracy” in Chile. But in just one year they have managed to earn the repudiation of virtually the entire world, with only a few exceptions, Brazil and the United States among them. To “save democracy” from the “Marxist hordes, godless and countryless,” the military junta has made torture into a means of government. Approximately 20,000 Chileans have been killed by the military. There is no family in Chile, excluding the super-rich, that does not have a relative or close friend who has suffered from the repression. Close to 10,000 political prisoners are in jail, most not charged with any crimes. They will be tried, in most cases, without lawyers and without appeals. They are routinely tortured by specialists trained and aided by Brazilians, who were in turn trained and aided by the United States military. Anyone who has seen the film State of Seige will understand how this works. Our military establishment has taught Latin American military personnel the delicacies of electric shocks to the genitals; how to submerge someone in water but not quite drown them; how to beat someone until they are unconscious but not quite kill them; and so on. Currently, these techniques are used extensively in Brazil, Uruguay, Bolivia, and Chile. In Chile, numerous international organizations have confirmed the systematic use of torture, (see Amnesty InternationaFs report in Jan. ’74) Even a commission of to confer with Henry Kissinger and the National Security Council The after-effects So the U.S. government achieved its goal, the overthrow of Allende. But how lasting is this achievement? For a long time the U.S. government apparently achieved its goals in another small country, Vietnam, and the situation in Chile is quite similar. The bulk of the population, probably 85 to 90%, is decidedly against the military junta, although there certainly won’t be any elections or Gallup Polls to provide more accurate figures. It is unlikely that the Chilean people will allow the generals to go much further. Resistance in Chile to the junta has begun to emerge. Although the left was initially severely hurt by the repression, it has now reorganized and is capable of carrying out actions against the junta. Sabotage, the most common tactic, is now frequent. A large warehouse in Valparaiso, full of military supplies, burned down earlier this year. The military blamed it on a short-circuit. Six new jets had sand placed in their engines. They were sent back to England for repairs, but workers at the Rolls-Royce factory there refused to repair them. The largest coal mine in Chile was recently flooded. A fire in the largest textile plant in Santiago, Yarur, destroyed several warehouses. The cars of important military leaders have been found painted with leftist slogans. In late July the Chilean ambassador to Lebanon, a well-known right-wing general, was severely wounded by gunfire. Most acts of the resistance receive little publicity. Despite military attempts to control the news, foreign newspapers continue to report what is going on. This irritates Gen. Pinochet and his cohorts. The Chilean military calls the Washington Post the Washington Pravda, and complains that the U.S. Congress and Sen. Kennedy have become tools of an “international communist conspiracy.” Scdvadore AUende The struggle continues I lived in Chile for two years and was there during the coup. Several friends of mine have been killed by the military, including two Americans, Frank Teruggi and Charlie Herman (The U.S. Embassy, which knew of their arrests, did nothing to protect them.). My impression was that despite the repression the Chilean people will fight back until they overthrow the dictatorship. Meanwhile, support in this country for the Chileans’ struggle against the dictatorship is very important. A protest demonstration will be held today in downtown Buffalo, in conjunction with demonstrations all across the U.S. and around the world. The Buffalo demonstration will begin at 3:30 p.m. with a picket line in front of Chase Manhattan Bank at Ellicott Square. The purpose of the picket will be to protest the large American banks’ policy of support for the junta. Chase Manhattan has investments in Chile (the I.B.E.C. Investment Company) and has joined with other banks to lend money to the junta. The picket will be followed by a rally in Lafayette Square at 4:30 p.m., featuring two speakers, one from the Attica Brothers Legal Defense. Following the rally there will be a march back to Ellicott Square. first to reassume investments they had held in Chile before Allende expropriated them. I.T.T.’s attempts to overthrow Allende were the most publicized, but all the big corporations generally went along with any anti-Allende actions. The economic blockade of AUende and the economic support of the military junta were accompanied by U.S. military and intelligence efforts to overthrow Allende.

While the rudimentary elements of the style have European and African origins, “the amalgamation is our own.” “After all, what are Americans anyway?” asked Beverly Fletcher, the company’s choreographer and teacher at the Am-Dance school of dance. The ballet comes from the French, the modern stems from ballet, and jazz has its African roots. But there is controversy as to whether the tap dance comes from the Irish “hoofing around,” or from the black slaves in nineteenth century America. According to Mr. Viverito, the tap dance probably originated as a means of communication between slaves who were chained up and not permitted to speak to _ each other. • Freed slave starts tap Tapping eventually became an art form when, according to legend, freed and crippled slave named Juba was looking for a job. After hobbling around for a while, he eventually landed a spot in an all-white minstrel show. Out of admiration for Juba and his marvelous tap dance, the white minstrels painted their own faces black, originating the early twentieth century practice of whites portraying blacks by using face paint. “Tap dance is not as easy as people think,” observes Mr. Viverito. Certainly not Fred Astaire, for example, practiced from 10 a.m. until 2 p.m. every day. “With tap dance, not only do you have to hit all the lines you hit in ballet, but you are also involved with coordinating all the sounds,” Mr. Viverito said. a — Ala Astaire-Kelly theater Last Sunday in the Harriman Theater, the Am-Dance company presented a historical look at twentieth century America through dance. Starting with the vaudeville of the 1930’s, Mr. Viverito and his partner performed a straw-hat-and-cane duet a’la Astaire and Gene Kelly. Spicing their dance with comic lines, the two dancers executed leaps and pirouettes along with the heal and toe patter. “Vaudeville tap didn’t go very far because not enough was done with the arms,” explained Mr. Viverito. “Tappers just swung them back and forth.” In Am-Dance, though, the arms are extended for movement, like ballet, giving it line. Another roadblock to vaudeville tap, continued the spritely dancer, was the time step. When the dancers were constantly changing bands, they used the time step to syncopate with each new band, he said.

Am-Dance tours East The Am-Dance company has performed in Boston and New York City, in addition to many places in Western New York. Its 14 dancers range in age from 15 to 28, and all teach dance classes when they are not performing. “Miss Bev formed the company to prove that tap dance is an art form,” Mr. Viverito said. “Many people feel that tap dance is something you go into if you can’t make it in ballet or modern dance.” Tap dance is not as disciplined as ballet, where the dancer has to hold his positions while standing at the bar. ‘Miss Bev,’ as she is called by the company, does not believe this kind of dancing is a fad. “Tljere is a return to nostalgia now,” she said, adding to the popularity of the tap dance. She is not attempting a revival of the form, but a preservation of its techniques. To prevent it from fading, she attempts to develop techniques to renovate the tap dance. The second half of Sunday’s performance included dances from toe 50’s, 60’s and 70’s, beginning with (“those old time favorites”) “the monkey,” “the jerk,” “the frug,” “the pony,” and “the twist,” and concluding with the company’s own special recipe, or amalgamation, of modern dance, Am-Dance.

The program tries to cover the volunteer’s expenses and travel. As a special treat, BAF also provides Be-a-Friend tee shirts to make them feel a part of something without labeling them. Besides opening up a whole new world for the child, BAF offers volunteers the opportunity to become involved in their communities and gives them a chance to deal with the problems that afflict society rather than just talk about them. Most of all, it gives the volunteer a chance to help a child who might otherwise never know the companionship, attention, guidance and love of another human being. “These kids should have a chance too,” says Mr. Moss. Those who are really interested in being a “friend” should contact the Be-a-Friend office.

S.2651 would overturn a decision made two years ago by the Civil Aeronautics Board prohibiting the scheduled airlines from offering “youth fares.” This bill was unanimously passed by the Senate in November, 1973, and is due to come up for hearings before the House Subcommittee on Transportation and Aeronautics as the next order of business.

For many years, Erie County had gone without the aid of a big brother/sister type program. In September of 1971, Bob Moss, feeling that children from disrupted homes had problems that needed more attention than was given them, initiated the Be-a-Friend program through Community Action Corps. The general objectives of the program are to provide experiences and atmospheres that would not otherwise be available to these children, who are between the ages of six and 15. Where one child might have a socialization problem, another might need companionship.

The other bill, S.1739, would liberalize the conditions under which U.S. airlines may offer inclusive tour charters to the traveling public. Restrictions would be removed which now prohibit airlines from offering the lowest possible prices and greatest selection of package deals. Passage of S.2651 would allow students to travel standby at reduced rates, possibly saving up to $100 million annually. S.1739 would provide students with greatly expanded opportunities to travel by group charter and save in many cases more than half the current air fares. “Students stand to gain in different ways from each of these bills,” Mr. Rodbell said. “According to the U.S. Office of Education, 1.6 million students commute 500 miles or more between their homes and schools. When travel costs suddenly and dramatically increase, an extreme burden is imposed upon the student and the student’s family, and in some cases the student cannot complete his or her education because of the financial hardship.” The NSL urges students who are concerned about the prohibitive cost of air travel to write their representatives, c/o House of Representatives, Washington, D.C. 205 15, expressing their support for S.2651.

It is a routine we have become accustomed to. The United States, while persistently denying any affinity for right-wing governments, paranoically embraces their repressive policies as a safeguard against any form of socialism. After repeated denials by high government officials that the U.S. in no way sought to influence the internal policies of Chile, it is now clear that we not only subverted that country's right to choose its own leaders, but in doing so, caused the violent deaths of more than 20,000 Chileans and the brutal torture of countless others. Those who flinch at the thought of Chilean police routinely giving dissidents electric shocks on their genitals should realize that such barbarism was directly financed by the American government and learned from government agencies like the CIA. When Dr. Allende was elected in 1970, the United States immediately took steps to "destabilize” his Marxist government. Funds were poured into anti-Allende political parties and newspapers, and large-scale economic sanctions were immediately put into effect. By drastically curtailing its foreign aid grants to Chile, the United States helped cripple an already-troubled economy in order to make socialism the scapegoat of Chile's troubles. In the past year, however, the United States government, private American banks and corporations and United States-dominated "international banks" have given Chile more than $600 million in "economic aid", while President Ford has shown no reluctance to pursue his predecessor's request for more than $21 million in military aid to Chile, funds that will almost certainly be used for more torture and killing. Despite this sudden shift in economic policy toward Chile, United States officials continue to insist there was no deliberate program to limit economic aid to the Allende government, just as they denied any role by the CIA in its collapse. Thus, while it has become increasingly popular to say that the "cloud of Watergate" has been lifted and replaced by an era of open government, we should take note that the same fog of mistruth and deceit obscures the way we conduct our foreign policy. The revelations of the Pentagon Papers, the barrage of lies about the Bangladesh War, and the secret bombing of Cambodia are all, like our Chilean policies, clear-cut examples of how government regularly misleads the public while it pursues immoral ends. If our elected leaders are sincere in their newfound desire for openness in government, they will have to demonstrate it in foreign as well as domestic affairs. There are no easy answers, but a good start might be declassifying the CIA budget, so that for the first time we will know what kinds of covert activities we have been regularly financing. There must be a great public outcry against covering up political blunders and moral obtuseness in foreign affairs in the name of "national security." And just as giant corporations must be prohibited from purchasing elections and compromising the actions of Presidents, so too must they be restricted from using their economic strength to reshape the world in ways congenial to their private whims. Finally, we must begin moving away from a good guys-bad guys mentality where we react hysterically whenever some foreign nation decides its people's problems require solutions incompatible with our own.

Wednesday, 11 September 1974 : M i ' ***«.* M « < (.� * 'JERRY FORD WIU NOT TAKE MY BALL AWAY, BECAUSE I AM STANDING ON JERRY FORDI' The suffering, penalty and end of Richard M. Nixon Milhous Nixon, the enigmatic who metamorphosed before our ex-president into a eyes grotesque Oliphant caricature, is gone. He has gone back home to California, travelling west without the hope or future he this once had; fulfilling an American myth time geographically in one final paradox. For six long years he absorbed from us all that was evil. Authority for him was a lust for power; justice, a public relations euphemism; honor, a cleverly arranged hoax. He embodied our basest virtues and we elected him to our highest office, not once, but twice. He made a mockery of constitutional process while we fabricated half-hearted excuses for him and complacently looked the other way. To that extent the president and the people were one, partners in a series of crimes against themselves. The periodic groundswells of discontent that tried the bond generated nothing but frustration and ennui. When the break between elected and electorate finally came it came from the top. The Nixon administration sadly mocking a lewd old degenerate in a Times Square side street exposed itself. It shocked us into seeing what we tolerated for so long and the bitter truth hurt. There are no Watergate heroes: no St. George, no dragon, no tragedy. There is only the rancid stench of millions of survivors just now discovering that it was their own decaying flesh that had fouled the air for so long. Realizing only now, that it was they themselves who made Richard Nixon possible. The downfall of Mr. Nixon is not a triumph of good over evil. Virtue and vice are confused, one existing only as the absence of the other. Richard Nixon was one of us, no more vulgar and selfish than we allowed him to be. He was incapable of giving what we demanded and for that many want to turn him into a Christ so they can now drive nails into his hands and feet, jab a spear into his ribs and stand ‘‘im with our cross on top of a hill as a constant reminder. Richard Nixon learned from Watergate the same lessons the public did, but he learned them alone. He learned that presidents swear and curse, that they bleed and urinate. He learned also that he was capable of violating all that he swore to uphold as sacred. This must have been painful with only humanoid advisors and a plastic family to commiserate with. The disclosures that startled us must have startled Richard Nixon. It left him a shattered man. His sunken eyes could yield only a few meager tears at a contrived farewell speech. The man who we tried so hard to make a hero came back to us a corpse; a decayed body eaten away by its own failure and wrapped in a shrowd of our own unfulfilled expectations. An Air Force jet bore him westward over a country that denied Richard — — him the solace of hope that it extenced to even the most destitute of its settlers. The proportions were tragic, but the man was unworthy. Many of us laughed. Richard Nixon has nothing more to give us. If indeed he ever did, we took it from him long ago. The unshaven man wandering restlessly along the Pacific beach, and driving the coastal roads with Bebe Rebozo can tell us nothing about the Watergate scandals. How could he understand what went wrong? How can he speak the truth after all these years? Let your imagination run wild and you will come closer to the truth than Mr. Nixon can. Everything that could go wrong did. Every trust, right down to the intemicene squealing that landed a dozen top aides in jail was violated. In the end Richard Nixon tried desperately to reverse himself and make his failure a Great American Tragedy. He was not a great man, he only had great faults. He acted them out for all to see in an episodic drama, amazing, accurate, and painful. But pain did not make him a worthy hero and shock did not render his audience capable of understanding the significance of what was going on. That flaw in human nature that manifests itself in every so often in bloody wars and terminal concentration camps was present in Richard Nixon because we grafted it onto him. We wanted him to do what we could not do. We gave him unquestioned power and he abused it. He stood a possessed body evil for all to see and remember. He made the flaw so obvious that we could not help but see it. In doing so he sealed his political fate and pressed his sanity to its limit. We can do nothing but spray the air with disinfectant and lich our wounds. There are more important issues at hand than the prosecution of Richard Milhaus Nixon. We have suffered along with him. To continue the ordeal would be masochistic. A rare chance to start with a fresh slate and a new president is ours. Concepts of justice, government and pwoer need clearly to be looked into and redefined in the way they were originally meant. Those who sufferred in our wars and those who resisted them the casualties of the Nixon era demand attention. Mercy is deservingly Richard Nixon’s. But to deny to thousands of others who suffer unjustly at the hands of our law is to make the presidential pardon hypocritical. The need to rebuild is everywhere. There will be time later to sift through the rubble and put the pieces back together so all can know exactly what happened. It is imperative that steps be taken to deal with today’s problems today. Richard Nixon is nothing but the eternal past. — — — — -Michael O ’Neill �Correction: In Monday's The Spectrum, a march by the Attica Brothers Legal Defense was announced for Monday, September 9. The march will actually be held on Saturday, September 14. tro ere to ther by Garry Wills We journalists are being a bit gooey about President Ford, as if the only virtue needed in the modern world is not to be Nixon. He has, by and large, deserved rave reviews at the outset of his performance. But it may be time to stop and take note of the new temptations that are arising. The press is normally so docile to a president that when it dared criticize Mr. Nixon people took that as an evil departure from nature. On the contrary, it was a healthy break from normal practice, one that will be hard to maintain without the excuse of sensational corruption that Mr. Nixon gave us. It is not surprising that newsmen are so acquiescent. The president is news, whatever he does; and he can choose the way he means to expose himself. Access to him or his aides is naturally given to the friendlies. Press conferences are not the ordeals that Mr. Nixon made of them, but ceremonies of allegiance. (Any president who cannot learn a photogenic two-sentence answer to every likely question would never have lasted in politics long enough to reach the White House.) But the cult of the presidency, the fawning pictures of Mr. Ford heroically lifting his own English muffin into the toaster, the details on the First Family’s sleeping arrangements what journalistic justification is there for such attendance at the royal levee? Mr. Johnson, it is true, thrust his surgical scar upon us. But Mr. Ford no doubt has better things to do than toast an extra muffin for photographers in the morning. Why don’t we lay off? President Roosevelt, because of his affliction, banned cameras for all but the most formal and posed shots.

In the face of the attacks the Attica Brothers it is the obligation of all sections of the working-class movement to engage in united action on this issue, regardless of differences on other questions. The Spartacus Youth League (formerly the Revolutionary Communist Youth) has consistently raised the need for a militant defense of the Attica Brothers. After the rebellion, the Buffalo Marxist Collective (which later fused with the RCY) was among the first groups in Buffalo to argue that the task of revolutionaries was to fight, not simply for prison reform, but for abolition of the prisons through the overthrow of capitalism. Today when the Attica Brothers are under indictment and facing trial, it must be recognized that the interests of the oppressed lie with those of the workers. On the basis of this understanding for the need of a class defense, the SYL urges all students to participate in the Attica demonstration this Saturday at Niagara on The trials of the Attica Brothers have taken on significance for the revolutionary added movement in the context of rampant inflation, declining wages, and ever larger budget cuts. The fact that the Watergutted, lame-duck Ford administration must co-opt Rockefeller, the direct executioner of Attica, into its service without a murmur of protest from the loyal “opposition” Democrats, only serves to underscore the unity of class interest in the ranks of the bourgeoisie. Freedom for the Attica Brothers cannot come by relying on the good wishes of ruling-class politicians. Democratic or Republican. The social force which can stop attacks on living standards and political rights must strike at the-heart of the capitalists’ power — the private ownership T social property. A militant defense of the Attica Brothers, while taking all necessary legal actions, must ultimately rely on the organized power of the working-class with its ability to withhold its labor power, i.e. to strike. It is this power which, under capitalism, makes the working-class the central agent an Square. Spartacus Youth League . . , Production Supervisor ; kept a secret at the end. That way lies the curtained room and its mysterious occupant of Woodrow Wilson’s last year in office. We do need a certain degree of exposure. But the opposite extrene came into fashion under John F. Kennedy, that expert manipulator of the press. He directed his wife’s tour of the White House on the pattern of Sophia Loren’s documentary on Rome. His “lonely” beachwalks must have been the most photographed parades since Barnum’s time. Photographers soothed him, helped him make decisions more impressively witness the famous pictures of him huddling with Bobby during his exercise in Cuban brinkmanship. far Kennedy and the press were friends too friendly. Kennedy even sent General Maxwell Taylor rushing off to see Henry Luce’s people with more classified documents on the Bay of Pigs than congressmen were allowed to see. In a memo printed by the Harvard “Crimson,” when a new batch of documents was opened up in the Kennedy Library, the president is shown taking time out during the missile crisis toWfite: “Is there a plan to brief and brainwash key press within twelve hours or so?” Then he lists the most likely brainwashees, who include Joseph Alsop and Marquis Childs. When someone suggested that Walter Lippmann be made ambassador to France, Arthur Schlesinger, then on the White House staff, wrote that Lippmann was working more effectively for the Administration by writing his columns than by taking such a mission abroad. That way lies the true corruption of the press, not in the skeptical and suspicious attitude reporters acquired under Mr. Nixon. Let Gerald Ford try to find a marriage partner in Congress. With the press, he should get no more than a rather wary friendship. ....

With the aid of a few thousand pounds of microorganisms, we’re helping to solve the water pollution problem in Rochester. Maybe the solution can help others. What we did was to combine two processes in a way that gives us one of the most efficient water-purifying systems private industry has ever developed. One process is called “activated sludge,” developed by man to accelerate nature’s microorganism adsorption. What this means is that for the majority of wastes man can produce, there is an organism waiting somewhere that will happily assimilate it. And thrive on it. The breakthrough came when Kodak scientists found a way to combine the activated sludge process with a trickling filter process and optimized the combination. We tested our system in a pilot plant for five years. (At Kodak, we were working on environmental improvement long before it made headlines.) And the pilot project worked so well, we built a ten-million-dollar plant that can purify 36-million gallons of water a day. Governor Rockefeller called this “the biggest voluntary project undertaken by private industry in support of New York State’s pure-water program.” Why did we do it? Partly because we’re in business to make a profit—and clean water is vital to our business. But in furthering our own needs, we have helped further society’s. And our business depends on society. We hope our efforts to cope with water pollution will inspire others to do the same. And, we’d be happy to share our water-purifying informationwith them. We all need clean water. So we all have to work together. Kodak More than a business.

According to Henry O’Hagan, project manager of New York’s remote disposal program, New York is prepared to pay from $8 to $10 million to dispose of an estimated 730,000 tons of solid waste annually. Bids would be open later in July and a contract awarded in August. Harrison County, where Cadiz is located, is fairly flat and stripmining has ravaged vast areas of land there. “When coming through this area, you are reminded of pictures of the moon,” according to one Cadiz resident. The pit where the solid waste would be dumped is just north of Cadiz village limits and covers 500 acres. Environmental groups have been pushing for stronger federal legislation to force coal companies responsible for the stripping to restore the land to as not to close to its original condition as possible — — create garbage dumps. Stop it j residents of the Appalachian town of 3050 are protesting the proposal. The Cadiz Jaycees are leading the fight to stop the plan before it gets started. , Many “Cadiz isn’t going to become the garbage capital of the world,” said Patrick Erbacher, a grocer who is vice president of the Jaycees. The Harrison News-Herald, a weekly newspaper in the area, sponsored a poll at last year’s county fair. Of the 400 people asked, about two-thirds opposed the plan. According to an editor of the newspaper, ’“If we took a poll today, the proposal would still be defeated.” So far the project has gained support from the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency and the State Health Department. In addition, the Harrison A contemporary for College Students With Student Rabbi PHILIP BREGMAN and Guitar Accompanist KERRY SUFRIN County commissioners voted 2 to 1 to support the proposal because it would give a very poor county about $40,000 a year. Dress is informal But the citizens of Cadiz are worried, among other things, about their water supply being polluted. Lloyd Lamb, 73 years old, and a well driller in the area since 1924, explains that the underlying rock strata of the county has been cracked because of heavy blasting done in stripmining pits. “Solid waste dumped in the pits would pollute the underlying water because the natural flotation of the soil has already been damaged,” he said. Patrick Erbacher explained that while Cadiz has its own reservoir-fed water system, all the residents of the surrounding rural area depend on wells.

Mike Reilly, a 1971 graduate of Niagara University, comes to Buffalo with a master’s degree from Ithaca College in Care and Prevention of Athletic Injuries. “The fact that there have been so many changes recently doesn’t bother me,” says Mike, who himself is on a year-to-year contract. “That’s all in the past, and what I have to do now is concentrate on the present and the future.” both men’s and women’s athletic contests. In previous years, the women’s coaches handled, or mishandled, as the case may be, the day-to-day training for women, i.e. ice bags, taping, etc. Emergency cases were taken to the hospital, and women never really had any access to the training facilities. Being a trainer for both sexes isn’t new to Mike. “Our facilities at Ithaca were co-ed,” reports the Bulls newest staff member, “and we’re now in the process of changing over to co-ed facilities here at Clark. I’m just confident I can fill the position.” Equal rights In compliance with recent equal rights legislation, the trainer’s duties this year have been expanded to cover the distaff side as well as men’s athletics. Facilities are being remodeled to accommodate women as well as men, and Mike will be responsible for coordinating training for Assistants needed The biggest problem Mike has to face is the lack of student assistants. “I’ve got no help thus far,” notes the Bulls’ man-in-white. “I’m pretty sure of some help in hockey and wrestling, and I’ve got a couple of girls helping out with the women’s sports. But when it comes to Contributing Editor Mike R basketball and especially fall baseball. I’ll really need some help.” Mike is optimistic when it comes to the facilities Buffalo has to offer. “This place has a lot of opportunities as far as the training facilities are concerned,” he says. “I like the students I’ve had contact with thus far, and I’m really optimistic about the situation here.” One of the biggest problems both a trainer and a coach have to face in any form of amateur athletics is whether to play an injured star in order- to win, or to iWGiSARw5^sffQ?1 Staff changes mark Athletic Department presents The Fall Semester of Lessons and Workshops Instruction in Blues, Classical, Folk and Jazz Workshops in Theory, Improvization, Ear Training, Technique and more. ■ • • • i OPEN HOUSE Sat. & Sun.

Most notable are a new man filling an old position, and a young woman coach, with several years experience, occupying a new position. Mike Reilly, who received a masters from Ithaca College last spring, will be Buffalo’s second trainer in as many years, following the long tenure of Jim Simon. Unlike Robert Nevil, who served as trainer last year while still a graduate student, it appears that Reilly will be permanent. Cindy Anderson, women’s basketball coach, will now double up as coordinator of Women’s Athletics, although she claims that the duties of this position have yet to be fully defined. Both sides of the net Tennis will have new coaches this year for both the men’s and women’s team. Diane Hall has been replaced by Betty Dimmick on the women’s side while Pat McClain takes over for men’s coach Norb Baschnagel. Baschnagel, a former basketball assistant for the Bulls, will set back into basketball and still coach tennis at Clarion State (Pa.). McClain is the tennis pro at the Buffalo Tennis Center, a post he has held since moving to Buffalo from California three years ago. A native of Long Beach, he attended Long Beach State for a while and later served as a tennis instructor in the Army. Finally Harry Hutt will take over for John Hill as junior varsity basketball coach. Hutt is a graduate of Roberts Wesleyan College outside of Rochester and coached basketball there before moving over to Spring Arbor College. CP.

When the Student Association (SA) Executive Committee activated the athletic budget in executive session early this summer, it was thought that the athletic program at this University was saved for another year. After much discussion and argument, a compromise had been reached which would have allowed present men’s intercollegiate programs to remain stable, while allowing for much needed expansion in women’s sports and in intramurals and recreation. A subsidy of approximately $222,000 from the SA would go along with $20,000 provided through a U.B. Foundation-Administration channel (to cover rental of facilities the University does not have, i.e. ice time for the hockey team) plus $18,000 in income, totalling $260,000 for the athletic budget. While this budget could keep the men’s program basically stable for another year, it supplied a bare minimum and any unforeseen expenses would be sure to rock the boat. As the summer came to a close, the boat was not only rocked but it tipped over, when the athletic department realized that not only had it over-expended its 1973-74 budget by about $6000, but it also hadn’t paid its disbursement fee to Sub Board (approximately $8000). This left a deficit of over $14,000. A committee composed of Harry Fritz, athletic director and Dean of the School of Health Education; Dan Daniels, the department’s business manager, and a number of coaches was formed to deal with the deficit. Tip of the iceberg The problems facing the Athletic department are larger than the absorbing of a deficit. The deficit only highlights lack of coherent athletic policy and the communication gap, both real threats to the University’s athletic program. The administration, coaching staff, and SA have remained silent too long. If steps are not taken immediately to rectify the growing discontent that has centered around athletics, future problems will not be as easy to solve as a budget deficit. An entire philosophy will be questioned and answers won’t be easy to find. Restraints SA quickly placed restraint: on how the deficit was to be absorbed into their new budget.

In this commentary Warren Breisblatt, former Chairman of the Student Athletic Review Baord, recalls some of the politics and economics of molding the athletic budget and then speculates about what the future may hold. I > SA President Frank Jackalone determined that women’s sports, intramurals/recreation and the major men’s programs were not to be cut. With this hard line approach, the athletic department was forced to make major cuts from the men’s intercollegiate programs. This meant that the crew program would be discontinued while the golf, tennis, fencing, soccer and baseball lines would also be sliced. Some argue that this was bound to happen, that it was only a matter of time before the small men’s intercollegiate programs would be hit with cuts. However, it is obvious that this didn’t have to happen this year. This situation has occurred through the department’s own negligence and lack of communication. Discontent is obvious among the coaches, who do not see any clear-cut athletic policy. A number of administrators have also expressed dismay over the management of the department and it seems clear that changes must be made if the athletic program is to be run efficiently. A clear athletic policy is needed, one that is in harmony with both the needs of both students and the administration. For such a policy to be implemented, a new athletic director is needed. The job of athletic director is a full time endeavor, as is Dean of the School of Health Education. Although Dr. Fritz has worked hard and continues to put in long hours, it is just too much work for one man. It would be wise for the administration to set up a search committee for a new director of athletics. A recent University committee wisely recommended that the two positions be separate. by Warren Breisblatt F11 |U| Q •CALL Prof. John K.

The Carbondale town paper, The Southern lllinoian, listed Dr. Somit along with Warren Brandt of Virginia Commonwealth University, George Christensen of Iowa State University and Charles Leone of Bowling Green State University in Ohio. Dr. Somit acknowledged he was interested in the job and had been to the Carbondale campus to speak with faculty and administrators. Sources at the university said he had visited in late July. While admitting his interest, he did not know if he had in fact been named one of the leading candidates. He did say that his wife had been told this unofficially and had mentioned it to him late Friday afternoon, after he returned from a trip.

Derge who resigned under fire last spring during a controversy over irregularities in the use of university liquor funds. Sixty-two year old Hiram Lesar has served as acting president during the search. The state university system in Illinois is said to be under more direct control by the Board of Trustees than the New York State system. The $50,000 a year job would reportedly not carry the same authority enjoyed by the president of a private college or university.

Sixty-one prison inmates were indicted for various crimes as a result of the violence. Now, the Attica Brothers Legal Defense (ABLD), in the belief that these inmates are being wrongly accused, is requesting postponements in the trials of many of the men, which are set to begin next week. So far, the state has spent a total of $6 million on the of the Attica prosecution Brothers, while the defense has only recently been allocated $750,000, which they will not receive until individual case submit vouchers. lawyers Simonetti, G. the Anthony special assistant Attorney General directing the state’s case, has called the investigations “incredibly complex” because the testimony of more than 1000 witnesses present at the shooting of the 29 inmates and 10 prison employees by state troopers. Pat the media Murray, coordinator at ABLD, agreed, saying “there are 42 different indictments, 1400 charges and anywhere from 3000 to 5000 witnesses. This case is totally unprecedented, and we need more time.” On September 4, Heywood Burns, the legal coordinator of ABLD and a professor at the State University of Buffalo Law School, moved to have the case postponed until further investigation could together, while the defense has always been hampered by a lack of time and funds. Individual defense lawyers had to seek postponements because of the difficulty locating witnesses, and because of an -Courier-Express be carried out. State Supreme Court Justice Carmen Ball took requests for postponements on a case by case basis, and delayed decisions until later this month. Prof. Burns mentioned that the prosecution has had three years and $6 million t ut tlr failure receive alleged to prosecution materials that had been turned over to the court This failure to cooperate in turning over material for the defense is claimed serious, spokesmen for ABLD. Herman Sch” defend' Ch lf J. r Pernasalice, an inmate charged for slaying a prison guard, has complained of the state’s lack of cooperation and its inaccuracy. He is particularly upset that whenever the defense asks for specific materials and facts, such as who was there, what they saw, and what kind of weapons were used, they are given only very general information by the state. Can’t get impartial jury Trial preparations have been marked by many injustices, to Ms. according Murray. “Because of the publicity given to the case, it has become impossible to have an impartial jury,” she said, declaring that the only alternative now is to dismiss all the charges. “The Brothers are not on trial for any crimes, but as political leaders,” she contended. She accused the all-white grand jury in Wyoming County, where the indictments were issued, of bias, since many of the jurors were related to correction officers and hostages. And while the McKay Commission had concluded that was there “indiscriminant firing in congested areas” by the invading forge, the Wyoming County jury indicted no prison guards or state officials. (The Spectrum 6/7/74). Ms. Murray also attacKed the Organized C in e Task Force set up by the statr to deal with the “This is certainly not organized crime that we are dealing with,” she said. Another injustice she described concerns the special Attica Grand Juries, which hinder the defense in soliciting statements from defendants and potential witnesses, since the information they give may be used to indict them, too. Inequality injuries Of special interest are the inequities in this trial that have been revealed by the Fair Jury Project (FJP), a group of volunteer researchers, statisticians and mathematicians 'in ABLD. They determined that Erie County underrepresents blacks by 34%, women by 68%, and persons between the ages of 18 and 30 by 84% in jury selection. This discovery resulted in the dismissal of two-thirds of the jury pool, further delaying the trial. A fair cross-representation of the Erie County population was not achieved among potential jurors, the FJP proved, because of a non-random selection of names, and illegal disqualification exemption, and discriminatory The mailing techniques. probability that these under-representations occurred by chance were almost impossible, to according their statistical analysis.

Page three �Abba Eban: looking at changing relations inside, outside Israel by Sparky Alzamora Campus Editor “In Israel, it’s hard to remind the Israelis of victory when for two or three days, national survival was in peril,” Abba Eban, former Israeli Minister of Foreign Affairs, said before a large and receptive audience in Clark Hall Thursday evening. Risky prophecy Speaking of his career as a diplomat and politician in Israel, Dr. Eban confessed to a weakness for prophecy which, he explained, is a popular pastime in Israel. His last bit of prophecy proved less than accurate, however. On October 5, 1973, Dr. Eban told his wife that “tomorrow is the only day we can be certain we will not be disturbed.” Less than 12 hours later, combined forces of the Egyptian and Syrian armies launched an all-out attack against Israel, and the war was on. The war began with dramatic success for the Arabs. Dr. Eban conceded. “Those who rely on initiative and surprise are bound to receive the early successes,” he said. But when the eventual ceasefire began later in the month, he went on, the Egyptians had established a bridgehead only 10 kilometers past the Suez Canal. The Israelis, on the other hand, had advanced closer to Cairo and Damascus than ever before. “Text books might call it an Israeli victory. But today Arabs celebrate defeat while Israel mourns victory,” declared Dr. Eban. Since the war, Israel has experienced a profound rearrangement of values, and an uprooting of once deeply-held concepts and ideas that simply no longer apply to post-war reality. A new balance There was now a new balance of power in the Middle numbers and territory. This belief was shattered in October “Certain advantages of cohesion and technical power create a gap across the bridge of Israeli disadvantages,” Dr. Eban said. He explained that if Israel did not hold these advantages, the current situation would be gravely different. The right to survive Speaking on the current state of Israeli nationalism, Dr. Eban emphasized that it was the “collective right of the Jewish people to survive.” In past generations, he asserted, this would have never been possible. “Israel is simply the right of the Jewish people to be itself and live within its own frame of values,” stressed Dr. Eban. This nation has continually met resistance to the idea of survival from hostile forces in the Middle East, but “Israel refuses to die or be swallowed up into something else,” he maintained. Dr. Eban called Israel the “most nation-like of all nations,” in that its people have the strongest sense of their identity as a nation. Its conflicts with the Arab -nations are not about boundaries, territories or refugees but “in its sheer right to exist,” he said, warning that the 1973 war was only the prelude to the search for peace, because there must still be difficult negotiations over territorial compromises by Israel in return for peace. Negotiations would be entirely impossible, in fact, if one nation registered one hundred percent success while another was totally vanquished. “Before the October war,” he said, “the Arabs did not have the self-confidence, and the Israelis did not have the humility to make an equal negotiation possible.” Dr. Eban revealed he had once told Secretary of State Henry Kissinger, in fact, that without the war, it would have not been possible to arrange a peace conference or even an interim agreement with Egypt or East, Dr. Eban said. He credited the Arabs with the tactical Syria. initiative that at first inflicted heavy losses on the Israeli army and air force. Much of the Israeli problem was due to a “false image of the power balance” which developed after the total Israeli victory of the 1967 war. The discussions with Washington officials, Dr. Eban said their impressions of a balance of power meant a “state of equilibrium.” In the minds of these officials, he noted, an equal power arrangement was understood as one Israeli tank for every four Arab tanks. “They believed that Israeli pilots would be invincible without any aircraft at all,” Dr. Eban added wryly. There was also a widely-held belief in Arab ineptitude, which supposedly would keep them from exploiting their vast power advantage as long as Israel could transcend its own own limitations of weapons, While their reasons were different, the United States and Russia went along with the ceasefire after the October war, Dr. Eban added, because “men and nations behave wisely once they have exhausted all other alternatives.” Legislature profiles available — — Five problems The introductory statement in the profile booklet lists several reasons why the legislature in ineffective. First, power is too heavily concentrated in the hands of party leaders in the legislature. Furthermore, the average legislature, states the Profiles, lacks adequate staff or research resources to deal properly with the more than 15,000 bills submitted annually and the numerous constituent problems. Most legislators are unknown to their constituents, according to NYPIRG and lack the means to establish personal independence or influence. Therefore, special interests with skilled lobbyists and the resources to present an effective Page four TH3 . a “It would be possible to build a harmony where loyalties would supplement and complement each other,” Dr. Eban said. He called for a regional patriotism where each country would be devoted to itself and to the Middle Middle East compromise East as a whole. Dr. Eban supported a gradual peace not seek Arab recognition of Israel’s right to “We do ex st,” Dr. Eban insisted. In fact, he asked other nations to agreement that could be worked on “layer by layer.” At the moment, however, the Middle Eastern picture “stop doing us a favor” in proclaiming Israel’s right to exist. remains “grotesque” because of the problem of the The answer to every problem is compromise, Dr. Eban growing military might of Israel and the Arab nations. declared. Egypt is concerned with regaining the territory it “Peace for the Middle East,” said Dr. Eban, “is the lost during the 1967 war, while Israel is more concerned condition for peace in the world. It would be a paradox if with the question of peace. Peace, he said, refers not only the birthplace of civilization should be its grave.” NYPIRG The New York Public Interest Research Group (NYPIRG) has released the results of its legislative one for each profile project. The 191 profiles member of the New York State Legislature detail background, voting records, campaign financing and opinions on key issues. The profiles were distributed in all parts of the state. NYPIRG director Ross said the project was designed to help make the state legislature stronger and more responsive. In theory, the New York State Legislature is the “people’s branch” of state government, he explained. But during the Rockefeller years the executive department has expanded in size, wealth and power while the legislature has failed to fulfill its theoretical potential, claimed Mr. Ross. —Jensen series of abstentions from fighting, hostile propaganda, and maritime boundaries. It also means something affirmative, in that it allows for free movement across boundaries, a system of trading, and a change in human relations. Dr. Eban advocates a Middle East modeled after Europe following World War II. The nations on that continent made it virtually impossible to wage war against one another because “their industry, science and economy are so tangled up” that it would be self-destructive to resume conflicts. to case are more than a match for most legislators. Finally, a legislature composed mainly of part-time legislators with small staffs and no independent political clout cannot compete with the executive department’s well-financed bureaucracy.

Of the Western New York delegation, only Sen. James D. Griffin (Democrat, 56th District) refused to participate. He would only allow interviews by one of his constituents and no NYPIRG members were from Mr. Griffin’s district. Another out-of-town legislator made the same condition, calling NYPIRG “a well-known leftist organization.” NYPIRG plans a series of projects dealing with reform of the State Legislature, such as a computerized list of voting records. Currently, anyone interested in a legislator’s voting record must look up each bill and read the roll call. There is no cross-index by name of the individual legislator. Other plans include a study of the Secretary of State’s office and its practices in regard to filing campaign financing information.

Ford granted “a full, free and absolute pardon” Sunday to former President Richard M.Nixon for “all offenses against the United States that he, Richard Nixon, has committed, may have committed, or took part in” during his term of office. Mr. Nixon, in an independent statement issued in California, expressed regret over mistakes in judgment in handling the Watergate scandal, but made no confession of criminal wrongdoing. A White House spokesman called the President’s pardon: “an act of mercy.” President Ford’s decision to pardon Mr. Nixon was the result of what appeared to be a week of prayer and soul-searching. He said the nation had regained its tranquility and the prospect of a former President facing trial and a jail sentence would destroy that tranquility. Mr. Ford also felt a fair and impartial trial would be impossible for many years to come because of extensive pre-trial publicity.

Pardoning power Under Article II, section 2, paragraph 1 of the United States Constitution, “The President . . . shall have the power to grant reprieves and pardons for offenses against the United States, except in cases of impeachment.” President Ford’s action ends any chance of prosecution of Mr. Nixon for violations of Federal law. It does not affect attempts by the state of California to prosecute for evasion of California state income tax, but such action is not anticipated. Congressional reaction to the announcement of the pardon was quick, strong and varied. Charles Rangel (D.—N.Y.), a member of the House Judiciary Committee that had recommended three articles of impeachment against the former President, said if Mr. Nixon wants compassion he should admit to wrongdoing. He described Mr. Ford’s action as “a political extension of the cover-up.” New York Democrat Bella Abzug called the pardon “outrageous.” Another member of the House said it was “the only decent thing to do.” Senate reaction Senator John Tower (R.-Texas) said the pardon “would help lay Watergate to rest.” Senator Barry Goldwater (R.-Ariz.) termed the decision “decent and prudent.” A dissenting opinion came from Senator Edward Brooke (R.—Mass.), who said pardoning Mr. Nixon was “a serious mistake.” The question of Mr. Nixon’s fate had been a controversial one. At his first Presidential press conference, Mr. Ford stressed that the final decision on the matter would be his. But he put no pressure on the office of Special Prosecutor Leon Jaworski to leave Mr. Nixon alone. The grand jury had previously named Mr. Nixon an unindicted co-conspirator in the Watergate cover-up, refusing to vote an indictment only because of Mr. Jaworski’s insistence that a sitting President, which Mr. Nixon was at the time, could not be indicted. Nixon worried Mr. Nixon had engaged the services of Herbert Miller, a former Justice Department attorney skilled in plea-bargaining, to try to forestall possible prosecution. But Mr. Nixon was not confident of the outcome of those efforts and it had been reported as recently as Saturday that he was “depressed” and expected to be indicted. Vice President—designate Nelson A. Rockefeller had come out strongly against prosecution of Mr. Nixon, saying the American people did not want to see a former President tried and sent to jail. Opponents of amnesty for Mr. Nixon argued that a trial would complete the record and show that no man is above the law and that Mr. Nixon was not driven out of office by political enemies. It is for this last reason that some had insisted on a confession of guilt in the Watergate cover-up as the price of a pardon. Others said it would be unfair to send Mr. Nixon’s aides to jail while letting Mr. Nixon go free. White House Cousel Philip Buchen said Sunday that no further pardons are being contemplated at this time for other persons involved in the Watergate scandal.

Merton W. Ertell, an associate chancellor for special projects at Sate University of New York central headquarters in Albany, will serve at acting Academic vice president and chair the Search Committee for a replacement to Dr. Gelbaum. Dr. Ertell was a member of the Slate University at Buffalo faculty from 1946-69, and has served as dean of University College, assistant vice president for educational affairs and director of institutional research. Dr. Gelbaum’s resignation had been anticipated by some segments of the University. During the past few months, there had been scattered speculation that President Robert Ketter would be making a few administrative changes as soon as he was officially appointed for another five-year term. In his self-evaluation that was circulated in May, Dr. Ketter had stated that while “the assembling of a functioning administrative team was adequately handled under initial circumstances we are now at a point where continued improvements in personnel and structure can and will be made.” out to meet the student halfway and we found him always to be respected and heard,” Dr. Gelbaum was quoted as saying soon after his appointment. - - No input But only a year later, in the fall of 1972, Dr. Gelbaum was heavily criticized by faculty and students for drafting an Academic Plan for the University with little input from faculty and no input from students, who he said would be “consulted” before the plan was put into effect. Claiming that he had “consulted every single provost and dean,” Dr. Gelbaum recommended that mathematics, social, physical and natural sciences be given priority over the arts and certain humanities, which he felt were .“food for the mind a luxury rather than a necessity.” These and other remarks like “every list has a top and a bottom and something has to be at the bottom of every list,” aroused fears that the budgets of lower ranked departments would be slashed and many were beginning to feel that as the school’s top academic official, Dr. Gelbaum ... ... had demonstrated a disturbing inability to communicate with them. During the past three years, Dr. Gelbaum frequently alienated members of the Collegiate System. In March 1973, he “terminated” Jonathan Ketcham, a well-liked and innovative College B instructor, without explaining why. Later that year, Dr. Gelbaum came under fire from both faculty and students for allowing College D to secede from the Collegiate Assembly. By giving this allegedly “straight” college access to direct funding, many felt he had violated the bylaws of the Faculty-Senate, which give it the authority to establish or dismantle academic units. Dr. Gelbaum was also criticized for circumventing the procedures outlined in the Collegiate Prospectus which formerly gave the Collegiate Assembly the sole authority to NS the policy-making body for the Collegiate System. Do research However, Dr. Gelbaum told The Spectrum that “indirect influences” had played no part in his decision to resign. In a letter of resignation dated July 15, he wrote Dr. Ketter that “on a number of occasions and in a variety of contexts, I have stressed the view that a university has a deep obligation and an unparalleled opportunity to serve the community through teaching and research. At this junction,” the letter stated, “a number of programs and reached stages where they require my close attention, undistracted by the other demands of my office. In the circumstances, 1 should like to tender my resignation, effective at your early projects consonant with this position have convenience.” During his tenure as an administrator, Dr. Gelbaum came under frequent attack from faculty as well as students. Last January, he ignited massive protests from student leaders and some University officials by ordering the cancellation of 16 on-going College E courses without consulting Dr. Ketter or dean of Undergraduate Education Charles Ebert. In justifying his action, Dr. Gelbaum had claimed the credentials of the instructors were “not adequate.” Students protest His actions prompted former Student Association (SA) President Jon Dandes to file a class action grievance on behalf of the 200 students affected by the cancellation. Mr. Dandes also requested that Dr. Gelbaum be removed as Academic Affairs vice president in a letter to Dr. Ketter. An editorial appearing in the January 25 issue of The that Dr. Gelbaum be Spectrum also recommended stressing “any that real or replaced, progress communication between students and the Administration remains impossible with Dr. Gelbaum in his present post." Dr. Ketter subsequently reinstated several of the courses and ordered a review of the cancelled courses by the three University-wide deans. Ironically, Dr. Gelbaum’s appointment in June 1971 had been hailed by students, faculty and administrators. In several years as an administrator at the University of California at Irvine, he had earned a reputation for being “an articulate promoter of the University of Higher Education,” and “a champion of student needs.” While at Irvine, he had reportedly set in motion policies allowing students to serve on review committees for appointment, promotion and termination of faculty. “We really went Appointed self Despite the growing tensions between his office and the Colleges, Dr. Gelbaum appointed himself acting director of the Colleges two months later, at a time when Collegiate System undergoing the was extensive re-evaluation. Tensions between Dr. Gelbaum and the Colleges reached a peak when he designated Curtis Bennet to be his assistant for the Colleges, even though the Collegiate Assembly had rejected him as a director by a 9-1 vote. Although Dr. Gelbaum is reputed to be an excellent mathematics instructor, his unswerving support for the system of granting "one credit per contact hour,” or the five-courses load, led many students to believe he was against student self-initiative and innovation. Discussing the Gelbaum resignation, Faculty-Senate Chairman George Hochfield felt the former Academic vice president was insensitive to the humanities and the arts and incapable of understanding their role in a university. “He never communicated real ideas about the educational future of the University, except in his primitive action of rating the University’s departments, which was an indication of his intellectual poverty,” Dr. Hochfield No rapport He also criticized Dr. Gelbaum for an inability to communicate with faculty. “The Academic VP should understand the problems of education,” Dr. Hochfield stressed. “He had no educational ideas, no rapport with the faculty.” Dispelling rumors that Dr. Gelbaum had been pressured to resign. Dr. Hochfield did not think his “controversiality” had anything to do with his decision to step down. “Dr. Gelbaum probably did not have to be asked to resign not with people wearing ‘Impeach — Gelbaum’ buttons.” While declining to “draw quantitative conclusions” about Dr. Gelbaum’s tenure as an administrator, Graduate School Dean MacAUister Hull felt Dr. Gelbaum had “taken over an office without form and given it form. Dr. Gelbaum came in as the first permanent holder of the office he made the office what it is today,” Dr. Hull asserted. “1 am not happy to see him leave.” Tom Craine, assistant To President Robert Ketter, said - he was not in a position to speculate whether Dr. Gelbaum’s departure resulted from external pressure. “1 honestly don’t know of any pressure that was used by the President,” he sated. “My understanding is that he asked to be relieved of his responsibilities.” Commenting on Dr. Gelbaum’s performance as the University’s chief Academic Affairs official, Mr. Craine said “the office has come a long he has accomplished a lot.” way with Dr. Gelbaum - Further comments Further administrative reactions from ranged Executive vice president Albert Somit’s belief that Dr. Gelbaum “sometimes gave the impression of being abrupt,” to associate dean of Undergraduate Bduuutian Walter Kunz’s remark that “it is very difficult to measure the output and competence of educators; Dr. Gelbaum did as well as he could under the University’s academic reorganization.” A firm “no comment” was offered by Andrew Holt, associate dean of the Graduate School. Elliott Smith, director of the New College of Modern Education, said he was “initially ecstatic” about the Gelbaum resignation, but was quick to point out that “the administration will do just what they want anyway,” in relation to the future of the Colleges. Dr. Gelbaum’s departure “will facilitate academicplanning at the University on the whole,” according to Harold Segal, professor of Biology. Dr. Segal said his initial reaction was one of “relief’ and felt Dr. Gelbaum “was probably pressured to resign.” Irving Spitzberg, dean of the Colleges, felt there would be “a certain element of uncertainty and the University would suffer from this uncertainty” while there is an acting Academic vice president. Academic review College The Colleges Chartering Committee has finalized a set of guidelines for evaluating all existing units of the Collegiate System. However, no charters have been submitted to the committee. Meetings will usually be held in closed session, except for certain charter hearings where interested individuals will have the opportunity to share their opinions with the committee. Any person desiring to observe the hearings committee meeting must register his/her name with the executive secretary prior to the which will study two Colleges each. Each College should include in its charter its intellectual purpose, educational methods, residential or non residential characteristics, how faculty and leadership are to be chosen, how internal governance will take place, a description of budget process and criteria for self evaluation. Unacceptable charters will be sent back to the appropriate College for corrections. Mr. Szekely views this as an appropriate aid in helping the Colleges get chartered. ‘Marketplace’ The judges Yoram Szekely, executive secretary of the chartering committee, does not expect observer registration to pose any problem. “No one has been denied observer status so far,” he said. “We hope to proceed in an orderly manner,” Mr. Szekely continued, “because we don’t want the regular committee meetings to degenerate into a forum or a marketplace.” Voting membership on the committee includes Mr. Szekely, Curtis Mettlin, department of Sociology; Anne Payne, department of English; Barbara Howell, school of Medicine; Jacquelyn K.

Registration under one roof causes confusion \ by Clem Colucci A few hundred students, mostly freshmen, stood in the rain outside Clark Hall on Tuesday, September 3, waiting for their class schedule cards. It was a departure from the old system, which scattered cards throughout the campus alphabetically (eg., those whose last names began with “C” went to Diefendorf 147), and even those responsible for the change admitted it did not wOrk well. What happened? The system broke down because of unforeseen accidents, Richard Dremuk, director of Admissions and Records explained. “Had everything gone on schedule, there would have been no problem,” Mr. Dremuk said. The tables, lines and schedule cards had been set up in Clark basement on Friday afternoon and were still in place when someone from Physical Plant checked them Saturday afternoon. On Sunday or Monday, however, said Mr. Dremuk, the karate club had practiced in the basement, moving all the furniture and equipment around and neglecting to put it back. Something missing By the time the first worker arrived at Clark at 7:30 a.m. and saw the setup in disarray, an overflow line had already formed. It was 8 a.m. before most of the missing furniture and cards were found. By 8:10, after the line had been growing for nearly an hour, the students were allowed in still 20 minutes ahead of schedule. — T» 'A CAMPING RETREAT' SEPTEMBER 20 • - - Open to all STAFF MEETING 7:30 p.m. tomorrow 355 Norton Hall • Cost 2$ — per person Registration deadline is Sept.

By then, however, the line extended to Diefendorf parking lot. Although Mr. Dremuk estimated that the average waiting time was only 15 minutes, the line did not shrink to a tolerable length until 11:30 ajn. Mr. Dremuk said that if the tables had not been moved by the karate team, the line could have been let in earlier and processed without difficulty. Special Features Editor Predictable problem Enrollment figures indicate that 4000 new students freshmen and transfers have registered this fall, an increase of 500 over last fall. Every year, it seems, new students line up early trying to “beat the crowd,” not realizing that several hundred other students have the same thing in mind. With the increased number of new students, larger lines can be expected everywhere. Many students felt that the old system was better, and did not understand why all cards were collected under one roof this year, especially in a building like Clark Hall, which was designed to serve a university of about 3000, not 25,000. Mr. Dremuk said that putting all cards in one building gave the advantage of “centralization,” but he did not elaborate. He is optimistic, however, that the problem can be avoided next year if Admissions and Records can institute a policy of early registration. Under this policy, students would register early and know before they return home for the summer what classes they will have.

Since then, Carey has campaigned hard and successfully narrowed the gap. Samuels ignored his challenger during the early weeks of the campaign, but Carey, going for broke, invested in TV commercials to increase his statewide recognition. In a series of head-to-head debates around the state, Samuels pointed to his ability to use modern business techniques to improve state government and Carey concentrated on his Congressional record and leadership. Mr. Carey has criticized his opponent, claiming it was Rockefeller’s emphasis on management that weakened the State. Samuels has asserted that Carey’s claims about Congressional achievements for New York are exaggerated and that Carey was just one of 435 representatives. Endorsements In recent weeks, the two candidates have played an endorsement game; each seeking support from labor, unions, organizations and prominent Democratic leaders. Mr. Samuels has been endorsed by The New York Times and many unions throughout the state. Mr. Carey has succeeded in wooing former Govenor Averiil Harriman, former NYC Mayor Robert Wagner, Bronx Borough President Bob Abrams (himself a candidate for the Attorney General’s nomination), and Congressmen Ed Koch (Manhattan) and Jonathan Bingham (Bronx). Mr. Samuels’ stated opposition to strides by police and firefighters has caused Patrick Mangan, head of Buffalo Firefighters, and Buffalo Police Benevolent Association President Kevin Harmon to urge their members not to vote for Samuels in the primary. Mr. Samuels has made an issue of contributions Carey has received from his brother, Edward, the president of New England Petroleum, implying that Carey may be a captive of the oil industry. Samuels has been criticized about contributions from real estate men who profited from leases he awarded while head of OTB. These charges may eventually provide ammunition for incumbent Malcolm Wilson. Recent financial reports indicate that Carey had spent almost all the money allowed him by law. Many feel that a larger voter turnout tomorrow will improve Carey’s chances to take the nomination away from Samuels. —Allen Hugh Carey Howard Samuels Candidates on SASU positions Democratic gubernatorial hopefuls Hugh Carey and Howard Samuels have met with representatives of the Student Association of the State University (SASU) and expressed support for most SASU positions, promising, if in New York.” Samuels'.

Samuels and Carey disapprove of the upper-lower division award differential in the Tuition Assistance Program (TAP). Samuels: “Will not allow any further erosion of the SUNY faculty-student ratio.” They have endorsed proposals allowing students to vote in their college districts if it is considered to be their Graduate Fellowships permanent residence as well as the creation of a state supported work-study program that selects students on the basis of need and interest in the job area. Carey: “I favor increasing the amount of fellowships Senate primary race to climax Former U.S. Attorney General Ramsey Clark, Mayor Lee Alexander and Abraham Hirschfeld, a former party treasurer and Manhattan millionaire businessman, will vie for the Democratic nomination for the U.S. Senate in tomorrow’s primary. The winner will face incumbent Jacob Javits in November. Each of the three candidates brings to the campaign an important asset: Clark, a well-known name; Alexander, the endorsement of the State Party Convention; Hirschfeld, a personal fortune to finance his campaign. Mr. Clark, recently endorsed by The New York Times, is the frontrunner. He has largely shunned the traditional party route and placed his name on the ballot by soliciting petition signatures. He has traveled throughout the state and issued a number of policy statements. Campaign contributions to $100 have been limited. Mr. Alexander, whose nomination was said to be part of the upstate-downstate balance deal at the Syracuse onototi June Convention, has been hampered by a lack of resources Mr. Hirschfeld has poured money into extensive newspaper and television advertising but is considered to be trailing his opponents. He has emphasized the need to elect non-lawyers to public office and blamed lawyer-politicians for delays in government. Mr. Clark has called for anti-trust action to combat monopolistic practices in the oil industry. In addition to supporting wage-price controls, he has called for the creation of a Public Employment Department to provide jobs for the unemployed. Mr. Hirschfeld wants to stop the export of oil and reduce domestic consumption. Federal employment subsidies and lower interest rates are needed to strengthen the economy, according to Mr. Hirschfeld.

It rhatters not that the former President willfully tampered with the trust of millions by condoning political spying and sabotage, that he lied to the American public with such startling regularity that it became a way of life, or that ethical considerations were routinely absent from everything he did. Mr. Nixon has already suffered enough by being forced out of office, President Ford decreed yesterday, and it is time to forgive and forget. But if what Nixon has gone through over the past two years is to be the new standard of suffering, what about the plight of the Attica defendants? As they continue to be dragged through the courts month after month, without fully understanding why, we seem to have forgotten that it was a quality of suffering so incredibly violate of basic not the inmates' premeditated desire to human needs commit violence that made the uprisings at Attica three years ago so inevitable. At the time of the rebellion, it was not uncommon for first-time offenders convicted of relatively minor crimes to be thrown into At,tica with hardened criminals because of a shortage of minimum and medium security facilities. Once imprisoned, inmates were routinely herded into cramped cells, where they remained under the constant surveillance of guards for 14—16 hours a day. There were no programs for employment training, psychological help or drug rehabilitation, and prisoners were paid less than thirty cents a day to perform meaningless tasks with no vocational value, fed meals that were well below nutritional standards, forced to wear clothing that was drab and repressive of individuality, and compelled to abide by rules for which they could see no justification. Medical care at Attica was callously dispensed by two doctors who feared and despised most of the inmates. All incoming and outgoing mail was read, radio programs were screened in advance and reading material was restricted. According to the report of the New York State Special Commission on Attica, even the most basic toilet needs had to be taken care of in full view of the prison guards. If a prisoner received any visitors, he was separated from them by a wiremesh screen and stripped and searched before and after each visit. Finally, fascism flourished. With a prison population that was 56% black, 37% white and 9% Spanish, almost 80% of the inmates had come from the the Big-City ghettos and were bound to clash with the rural, white prison guards from conservative Wyoming County. The cumulative impact of these living conditions so humiliated and dehumanized the inmates at Attica that they had no recourse but to take steps that would somehow publicize the atrocities of prison life. Little did they suspect that Nelson Rockefeller would interpret their actions as the greatest threat to American law and order of the last century and order the prison recaptured at any cost. Nor did they ever imagine that 43 would die as a result, and that they would become embroiled in an endless legal struggle. In contrast, the illegalities which Nixon regularly set into motion were not the desperate acts of men whose very right to exist as human beings was jeopardized; they were carefully calculated and were the total expression of everything he — — stood for. But he is now free, while 61 Attica defendants continue to encounter one abstacle after another. Despite reports that there was "indiscriminate firing in congested areas" by the invading force, and autopsy evidence which proved that the 10 guards who died were killed by their rescuers, an all-white middle class Grand Jury in Wyoming Country indicted no prison guards or state officials. The search for a jury has been marred by pre-trial publicity, illegal disqualification and exemption, non-random selection of jurors, and discriminatory mailing techniques. Individual defense lawyers have had to seek several trial postponements because of shortage of funds, difficulties in locating the more than 1000 witnesses, and inadequate access to prosecution materials that have already been turned over to the court. Furthermore, every single defense motion has been denied by the state Appellate division. All of these factors have made it virtually impossible for the Attica defendants to receive a fair trial. It is time for New York State to dismiss the Attica trials on both moral and legal grounds. If Nixon's sufferings have earned him a pardon, how much more so has the Attica defendants' suffering earned them theirs? Page ten The Spectrum Monday, 9 September 1974 . i f I) . ! ( i ‘ i' t') r equally inadequate. To the Editor, ’ 'iJ-d One must wonder about the person designed the Amherst Campus bus schedules. Apparently, this person has never heard of logic. The main objection I have to the current bus schedule is that it is totally inadequate. Last year, the busses running to and from the Governor’s Residence Complex were filled to the brim in the morning, as everyone tried to get to class. But Governor’s had a total population of 800, while Ellicott alone will have 1600. Logically, one would who see more busses running during the rush. But, last year, four busses ran during that period and this year, with three times as many people, four busses are running according to the schedule posted for September 4th, the first day of classes. The schedules for the proceeding days were expect to morning Another giant problem is the routing of the busses. Logic would dictate that one bus would run just to Ellicott and one route would run just to Governor’s, and a shuttle bus stopping at the two dorms and O’Brian Hall. This would get students to where they were going quicker than the present system, which first stops at Governor’s, then goes to Ellicott, back to Governor’s to O’Brian and finally to Main Street. And if the bus becomes filled at one stop, the people at all succeeding stops have to wait out in the cold. This doesn’t make any sense. I sincerely believe that these problems will be worked out in time, but just going by last year’s experience, things should have been set up differently.

TRB from Washington September 10, 1974 Not a day goes by, it seems, when we don’t see another example of the ravages of inflation. Ten years ago Richard Nixon would have been given 50 bucks and a hand-me-down suit before being allowed to hit the street after the crimes he committed. Instead, today, if Congress goes along with President Ford’s request, the first President driven out of office in disgrace will get a cool $850,000 between now and next June 30 to take care of his pension, his phone bills, his travel, his staff, office furnishings and what not, his defense lawyers, his back taxes and his mortgage payments. Of' this amount, $450,000 is for “transition” expenses over the first six months of his private citizenship to ease the switch from being the most powerful man in “the free world.” as he liked to put it, to being just another American voter. The total doesn’t include the cost of continued Secret Service protection, nor the cost of running his office at the Coast Guard station outside San Clemente and Key Biscayne for which he has already soaked the American taxpayers for $17 million. According to Arthur Sampson, head of the General Service Administration, it probably would cost more now to remove federally purchased facilities of the two Nixon estates than to leave them there. What the hell, one may reasonably ask, is going on here? Defenders of the biggest burglary since Watergate may say that Nixon is not getting any more than any out-going President is entitled to under the Presidential Transition and Former President’s Acts, not any more than Lyndon Johnson got when he completed his term in January, 1969. But wait a minute. For all the peace demonstrators’ accusations that Johnson was a criminal for his conduct of the Vietnam War, no articles of impeachment were ever voted against him by a bipartisan committee of the House of Representatives. He completed his term and went off to his ranch on the Pedernales with a modicum of honor and public respect. Nixon, by contrast, jumped as he was being pushed, dissembling all the way out the door with the transparent hogwash that he was resigning because he no longer had a “political base” in Congress on which to build a program. The world knows he quit before he was fired for attempting to obstruct justice, which he admitted, and for other high crimes and misdemeanors, concerning which the House Judiciary Committee had chapter and verse ready to throw at him. If special Watergate prosecutor Leon Jaworski needs any additional reason to pursue criminal indictments against Nixon, the $850,000 ripoff ought to do it. Grand jury indictments and conviction would not of themselves deny the disgraced President this final involuntary act of the taxpayers’ generosity (the way impeachment and Senate conviction would have). But they might give Congress cause to think twice about approving the or even cause it to consider amending boondoggle the enabling legislation, written in anticipation of Presidents’ leaving office for honorable reasons. The Transition Act of 1963 looked to the orderly phasing out of one completed term and the phasing in of the next. It was intended to enable the departing President to tie up loose ends, including the preparation of his presidential papers for historical purposes. Who can have any confidence now, after the finagling with the Nixon White House tapes, that taxpayers' money given to Nixon during the six-month transition period will be used to chronicle and make available all relevant data on his role in Watergate? It’s more likely that the people’s money will go to support Nixon’s preparations for writing his memoirs, his own inevitably self-serving version of what happened. We already have reports that his asking price to publishers is a cool two million dollars. One would imagine that an advance like that would enable the author to pay for his own researchers and typists, instead of having you and me pick up the tab. Of all the Nixon excesses, we suspect the one that gets to the public most is the money business: the underdeclaration of income, the attempt to hold up the Treasury through the donation of Nixon’s vice-Presidential papers, the lavish spending of public funds on the two presidential hideaways. And how nearly a million dollars to help him adjust to life as a private citizen. What next? While Jaworski deliberates on whether to seek indictments against Nixon, the new President has made it pretty clear that whatever happens, he stands ready at the end of the road to give his old boss absolution and a pardon. In his first press conference, Ford said Jaworski “has an obligation to take whatever action he sees fit in conformity with his oath of office.” But the President, through some mysterious method of reading public opinion, announced that the American people shared the view of Nelson Rockefeller and himself that Nixon should be left in peace. A generous and magnanimous man, our new President. He apparently is willing to give Richard Nixon unconditional amnesty for subverting the political system as no other President has done, but is only willing to let the draft resisters and deserters of the most unpopular and immoral war in American history return home provided they “work their way back” with some kind of alternative public service. There must be a moral in there someplace. There remains also the disposition of the Nixon presidential papers and tapes. In their last major act before leaving the White House, Nixon defense lawyers Buzhardt and St. Clair ruled that the documents and tapes were Nixon’s personal property, and Ford concurred tentatively in that finding. Unless something is done, they will be shipped to San Clemente eventually, where Rose Mary Woods, Nixon’s personal secretary and favorite transcriber of Watergate tapes, will be free to work her special kind of magic on them for posterity. Senator Birch Bayh of Indiana has introduced a bill that would require all elected officials to turn over all official papers to the National Archives within six months of leaving office. It should be passed, while the Nixon rip-off remains fresh in the public mind. - �* J wm? me MW J reem? ax..

This is Dan Rather for CBS News at 1602 Pennsylvania Avenue right next door to the White House where Sophie Grudnik has lived for the past 25 years. She’s seen many tenants come and go and we’re here today to get her impressions of the new neighbors, the Fords. How are you, Mrs. Grudnik?” “Not bad, sonny . . Say, you will be out of here before my husband comes home, won’t you? He’s very jealous, you know.” “Don’t worry, ma’am, we’ll be out in a few minutes.

Nossir, not as far as Sophie Grudnik’s concerned. They don’t stay long for one thing. Why, one family didn’t stay three years even. Handsome fellow the father was, too.” “What about the Fords, Mrs. Grudnik?” “Fords, Lincolns, Cadillacs, you name it. Cars all hours of the day and night. People always gawkin’ outside the gates. All them darn reporters waitin’ around. It’s enough to make a body want to call the police.” . “Have you ever called them, Mrs. Grudnik?” “Oh my, yes. Don’t do a darn bit of good, though. Soon’s I tell 'em where the commotion is they make funny noises and hang up on me. Been goin’ on for years, too, ever since I moved in. I remember when I first moved in here, back in ’49 it was, the fella who lived next door then, Harry somethin’, used to go for walks every mornin’ right by my front yard. He was all right, I guess, always waved. But he had a half-dozen or so characters followin’ him, ill mannerdest bunch of cusses you ever did see. They’d never even so much as smile.” “That was President Truman.” “President, nothin’. His name was Harry. What kind of name is ‘President’ for a grown man? President indeed. Well, he moved out early in ’53. One day, day before he moved out if I recollect, this big parade came by. Musta been a goin’ away party. Didn’t invite me, either. People who moved in hardly ever bothered anyone.” “That was Pres er, Dwight Eisenhower.” “But none of them amounted to much until this crazy Texan moved in. Always holdin’ barbecues in the backyard. The smoke near gave me emphysema. He’d a weddin’ or two, don’t rightly remember how many, right on the lawn. Didn’t invite me to them either. Then the next crew . . Had this bunch of crazy people in funny uniforms runnin’ around. Thought they’d moved some foreign diplomat or somebody like that in there.” “What about the Fords, Mrs. Grudnik?” “They’re not too bad, I guess. Went over the other day to borrow some flour. Mr. Ford came to the door, had an apron on, he did. Very polite. He took me into the kitchen and showed me where the flour was and told me to help myself. He was makin’ scrambled eggs, said his wife was still asleep. Never saw the inside of the house. It’s big, Betty that’s Mrs. Ford must work day and night keeping it clean.” “Are they considerate neighbors, Mrs. Grudnik?” “I do have one complaint. They party too much. Most of these people go to bed early. But these Fords . . They’d hardly even moved in when they-had a big party, dancin’ till midnight. One other thing he comes out in his that’s strange about Gerry that’s Mr. Ford swimmin’ trunks some mornings, grumbles somethin’ about forgettin’ that he doesn’t have a pool anymore and goes back in. Not a bad build for a fella his age, either. Not like my husband, Chester . . You won’t put that on television, will you?” “No, ma’am.” “Dan.” “Yeah, Charlie?” — . - - . — “Wrap her up.” . . For CBS News, this is Dan Rather in Washington.” “Sonny?” . “Yes, Mrs. Grudnik?” “There is one favor you could do for me. If you know anybody at The Washington 'Post, tell them the Fords’ paper keeps coming to my house.” I wondered, even then, why those words brought the whole adventure alive as no others did. “Eagle” was just the name of a landing module but it somehow broke the space experiment away from our own political and contrived identification with it which President Nixon was exploiting so heavily at the time. It was as if some weird bird, separate from us, had sunk its talons into that yielding ash and was about to carry the whole - globe Lone Eagle teaching young men to fly when Japanese Zeroes came after his plane and he, as a civilian, had to shoot them down. Part of his miscalculation over the entry into World War II came from a generally pacific nature. He did not like destroying even a a dare, to show off “macho,” like Evel Knievel’s rather sick toymgs with suicide. He meant to contribute to aviation as a science. He took no unnecessary chances. And I doubt that any astronaut will live to make as many contributions, in as many scientific fields, as he did. From medical and devices, conservation tools, from P-38’s to the later rockets, Lindbergh was always ready to help. He could be a team player when that was called for. Yet he fought off publicity, suffered the kidnapping of his son, became an unlucky Lindy, went out on a limb about Germany’s air power, was insulted by Roosevelt, and had to do his heroic work in World War II without either glory or simple gratitude. He was the main first source of information about the person’s privacy, or shooting down a bird. On the predatory side, he was a reluctant eagle, and did not boast of his kills. But he was a patriot, and sadly taught his young flyer pupils to use airplanes for death. He was not right always, nor his positions admirable. But he himself was honorable, beyond men’s power to wound or detract. The sufficient answer lay in the mere words he spoke on landing he was Charles Lindbergh, a thing apart. There was, and will be, none like him; he leaves us as he came to our attention, alone, up there, all the sky his. - The Spectrum off.

Contributing Editor The Social Sciences College has made special efforts this semester to expand its courses to meet the needs and interests of a larger number of students. Roger Cook, a graduate student in Sociology and coordinator for Social Sciences College, Varied instructors observed that “many students have the Instructor George Robbins, a graduate mistaken idea that all the colleges are of the University of Michigan, with residential colleges and that students have teaching experience at four universities, to be members to take classes.” There are said “the instructors in the Social Sciences five at least non-residential colleges, are some of the best that I have College including Social Sciences College, that with.” Mr. Robbins teaches a worked offer credit-bearing elective courses to all course on “Monopolies and U.S. popular University students.

Inequalities and Jack Reimbach, a graduate student in injustices in the American social system are studied in order to understand their causes Education, and a former trade union and possible solutions. “This overall activist, teaches “Labor’s Untold Past and Present,” which explores the historical conflict between management and labor. Specific areas, such as the railroad strikes of 1877, the Haymarket incident, the Ford sitdown strike, and the movement to build trade unions will be examined in detail. “This course gives the student the opportunity to see American labor history form the workers’ viewpoint something that is usually neglected in traditional history courses,” explained Mr. Reimbach. - Robin Weeks, a graduate of the Philosophy Department of the State University at Buffalo, will offer a course in “Class Conflict and Legal Theory.” “The growth of the Colleges is the result of the political activism of students of the late 1960’s,” maintained Mr. Weeks. “Many courses are taught by instructors who were student activists and had direct experience in the radical student movement and this experience adds a new dimension to the classroom situation,” he explained. Mr. Weeks, a student activist during the student strikes here in 1970, will explore the competition between the sociologist and capitalist systems in the area of legal philosophy, with tha aim of shedding light current international upon legal confrontations. — Howie Kling, a Masters Candidate in the Humanities, with a special interest in proletarian literature, said “the Social Sciences College is able to provide a wide range of courses appealing to many from the study of different students criminal justice in the Attica case to third world economic to the systems, development of culture. The courses are all unique in that they stress the necessity for social activism in the pursuit of knowledge.” - Mr. Kling will explore the connection between art and society, emphasizing the development of art as a reflection of social conflict. With 24 courses offered in the Social Sciences College, and 12 different colleges in existence, all students should find courses that appeal to their special interests. The Colleges Catalogue, with complete course descriptions, is available in room 133, Crosby Hall. There are still a number of openings in the Social Sciences Colleges for students who wish to add electives. •••••••••••••••••••••••••• • • • • : Advanced Intermediate Dance Course MWF 10:00- 11:30 DANCE STUDIO • • Did the Univeru Go BANG!

California Split Magic Lantern Showing their cards In a more conventional film, that binge might have been compressed and debased into a two-minute orgy of quick-cutting, loud music, and crazy confetti. Emphasis would have been on those first and third reels that California Split omits. That is a problem with many other Hollywood movies; those movies deal only in those first and third reels. The omitted story of the Dennys’ by Jay Boyar separation and reunion is one we’ve seen in a million California Split is a three-reeler love story with the movies and read in a million cheap novels; it’s a story that first and third reels missing and that’s one good reason writes itself asking nothing of the viewer but to contain to keep from guessing the outcome of every why it works. The story is about magazine writer Bill himself Denny (George Segal) and his wife, Barbara. They have a predictable scene before it plays itself out. You find marital rift which sends Bill off on a gambling spree with yourself too lulled or stultified, watching that kind of Charlie Waters (Elliott Gould), a chance acquaintance. movie, to even voice a prediction. Only the viewer with an After some mad vicissitudes of luck, Charlie returns to extreme innocence of movies takes pride in guessing and, Barbara and patches things up with her. That’s what the seeing his guess borne out, announcing, “1 could have story's about; but California Split doesn’t dredge up the written this movie!” whole story. The movie shows only the time interval Happily, California Split Jets you write that movie beginning a little after the Dennys’ split-up and ending a yourself. The part of the story California Split shows is a less contrived or “plotty” situation. The reels you write yourself the Dennys’ love story are important to they “flesh out” Bill Denny’s California Split only in character and give an external (but comforting) logic to \ the movie we actually see. This explanation will save you the trouble of, seeing California Splitfa first time to work it out for yburself. Adrhiftedly, this is a little like saving a schoolchild the “trouble” of jrtaying an exciting ballgame during recess, but don’t worry, there’s a great deal more to watch and think about in this film. - — - - that! Stick man Chiefly responsible for 'California Split is director Robert Altman whose previous films include M*A*S*H, Extra buses Brewster McCloud, Thieves Like Us, and McCabe and Mrs Miller. Altman has called California Split a “celebration of gambling,” and that is a pretty good description on several levels. Prima facie, a great, rolling anxiousness is generated as betting parsers Bill and Charlie try their luck at various games of chance. Even more than this, the idea of “chance” is important to their lives outside the gambling halls. Terror and compassion, friendship and compulsion, separation and revenge come and go as haphazardly as a winning streak in a card game. Gambling seems also to account for the way Altman actually made the film. This is not to suggest that he has as his principle concern whether he has shot enough mistake-free footage to pull a movie together in the cutting room. He is in control of these details. What I mean by calling Altman a gambler is that he is willing, it seems, to reshoot a scene because it didn’t “feel right,” much as a poet might change a word in his poem. Why one shot looks better than another might be hard for him to say clearly, but 'it seems to click because of the placement of the players, the colors, the movement... Altman goes for the shot that best conveys the feeling of the film at that moment in the film. Joker In one brief episode for instance, Bill and Charlie arrive inside ja Targe lobby after being attacked. “What is this,”/ Charlie, “a police station or a hospital or what? for hirti, tjie question is rhetorical. He knows he’s nation, but seeing some people being hauled in <r into it in their pajamas, he makes an easy joke. But Altman knows that there has been no preparation to tell us exactly where we are. A scene following an attack scene could take place in either a jail or a hospital. So Charlie’s joke also voices the viewer’s genuine confusion. And because the motion of the scene catching just enough pajamas and just enough police uniforms to make us wonder where are it is clever and even artful. In this way, Altman brings a — — Law school Extra buses will be provided between the Amherst and Main Street Campuses until the old bus schedules are revised sometime in the near future.

Or, say, the way he shouts at a lady who attacks him with fruit. “Don’t throw oranges, lady!” he screams. “You don’t throw oranges on an escalator, lady.” I haven’t seen anything like it hilarious in this off-beat way since Charles Grodin complained to a waiter that the restaurant was out of its famous pecan pie in The Heartbreak Kid, when his anger was really a substitute for his anxiety about splitting up with his wife. - intricately jocose script. Altman gambles not on his scenes being mistake-free (although they are), but on them being the theoretical “best scenes.” He can’t really lose., just win more satisfyingly. As the opening credits roll, a mechanical display in a modern card parlor says of poker, “The more skilled you become, the more pleasurable you will find the game.” That’s also true for Altman in making his films and for the viewer in watching them. — — Deal Low pair Drifting through their universe of happenstance, our heroes encounter many people with lives of their own. Bill and Charlie spend a lot of time with a pair of para-prostitutes. One of them is played by Ann Prentiss. Whenever I see Anne Prentiss, I think of her sister, Paula; Unknown to each other as the film begins, Bill and Charlie are pretty much kept in separate shots until a card dealt by Bill just happens to fly off the table when dealt to Charlie. This fortunate flip and their rather flip raport keep them together for most of the movie. Elliott Gould as Charlie Waters creates a flowing, not quite rancid, extremely casual character. Gould begins to sound a little like Bill Cosby would if he were to speak with a lollipop in his mouth. Wisecracking, funny Charlie’s life is gambling, and it’s not really much of a life at that. He’s like Damon Runyon’s character “The Sky” Masterson who appears in a short story on which Guys and Dolls is based: - In all the years The Sky is drifing around the country, nobody ever knows him to own anything except maybe a bankroll... He never owns such a thing as a house, or an automobile, or a piece of jewelry. He never owns a watch, because The Sky says time means nothing to him. Of course some guys will figure a hundred G’s comes under the head of owning something, but as far as The Sky is concerned, money is nothing but just something for him to play with and the dollars may as well be doughnuts as far as value goes with him. The only time The Sky . . . can tell he is broke is when he reaches into his pocket and finds nothing there but fingers. Like refrains in a melancholy song, images recur throughout the film not accidentally, but made to look that way. Early in their friendship, our heroes challenge each other to name all Seven Dwarfs: - Bill: Here they come like a Gatling gun. Doc, Grumpy, Sleepy Charlie: That’s four. Bill: That’s three. Then later, alone in bed and darkness, Charlie tries again to recall the dwajrfs, sadly mumbling under his breath. Finally, near the end of the picture, Bill sits down to an important poker game with players that resemble the Dwarfs, including a “Doc” as a “tip-off.” This witty recurrence of a theme is envigorating. Nothing is overstated but everything is there. Bob Hope, in his heavy-handed way, might say, “Vegas! Now there’s a crazy town! Everybody there gambles. All the restaurants have the same breakfast menu: coffee, toast and Lucky Charms!” But in this film, the gamblers’ favorite food is Lucky Charms so the joke sneaks in through a side door. I hope the crowds give this film about chance a chance. At a university where getting into courses by computer-registering is described as “a giant crap game” and in a land where “Lottery” means money won in a state-sponsored sweepstakes one year, and a device for sending men to death in Vietnam the year before, this chancey film would seem to rate pretty good odds. , Paula Prentiss always reminds me of Richard Benjamin; he brings to mind Philip Roth and that only means we’re back to Ann’s role as a prostitute. Gwen Wells plays the other one. The former forever searches for her “Guide” (she seems to mean the “T.V. Guide,” but the metaphor is there) while the latter is the kind of person who seems always to be begging for a punch in the kisser, just like the heroine in the book she loves to read: Justine. You can never be sure just what they’re about they round out Bill’s and Charlie’s world of dislocation. — Gould’s terrific portrayal makes Charlie come across and as pitiably as humorously and as shiftlessly as writer Walsh could have imagined. Now Segal’s Bill Denny is a more serious, taught personality. You can feel it in the way he becomes deeply — - — Plug If you haven’t seen it yet at the Boulevard Mall, Eastern Hills or Holiday theater, then you’d better hurry. Altman’s last film. Thieves Like Us, lasted only about a week in Buffalo, and the one before that, The Long Goodbye might have been more aptly titled “Hello, I Must Be Going.” Still, our academic community comes to the rescue with The Long Goodbye doing a two-night stand (this coming Saturday and Sunday) in Norton Hall’s Conference Theater.

With the support of an administration, which seems to have an active interest in promoting art history here, the young faculty boasts a diversified and expanded program which, in their opinion, is better than many offered by the top ranked schools in the country.

The roster includes Tony Janson, 31, who earned his Ph.D. at Harvard; Alan Birnholz, 28, a Yale Ph.D. who previously taught at Smith College; Harry Rand, 27, earned degrees at Rutgers and Johns Hopkins, now in his fifth year here; and Dorothy Glass, who received her Ph.D. from Johns Hopkins and formerly taught at Boston University. Dr. Glass joins the department as an associate professor, and is the only tenured faculty member. ‘Get the best’ They credit their recruitment to Don Robertson (Department Chairman) and Provost John Sullivan. “Dr. Robertson and Sullivan committed themselves to Carman Dr. history,” art “There was a explained tremendous desire to get someone big, someone famous, to get young people from good schools with good backgrounds.” The faculty is especially offered this semester. It includes a full complement of courses on modern art, with one devoted solely to the life and work of Pablo Picasso. Art History registration has been set back slightly by a computer foul-up which listed registration numbers incorrectly, and erroneously designated courses as closed before any students had registered. Only slightly chagrined at the computer problems, Dr. Rand hopes they can be cleared up quickly, and added that the administration has cooperative been extremely through it all. “We think we have something good going here, and we want to advertise it,” he said. Youthful exuberance Dr. Carman attributed Art History’s past difficulties in achieving an identity of its own here to several factors.

The State University of New York at Buffalo is being recognized as an educational pioneer in its recent creation of the Statistical Science Division to provide outstanding education and research in Statical Science, to encourage contemporary statistics and probability and their relations to science and computer science, and to develop biostatistics and biostatistical science. As a discipline, Statistical Science seems to me to be characterized by its equal emphasis on probability modeling, statistical data analysis and management, statistical inference, and statistical computation and computing. Our introductions courses cover all these fields, and thus provide unique introducations to contemporary statistics and probability. These courses are offered at both undergraduate and graduate levels, and in versions oriented to the different interests of students. I take great pride in these innovative courses, because they seem to me to provide students in every field with opportunities to learn ways of reasoning about uncertainty and data, which are important both to their everyday lives and to their careers, in educational formats which emphasize relevance, learning feedback, and students' active participation in their own instruction.

The course will meet on Tuesdays from 8:15 to 10:05 p.m. and will run through October I. No credit will be given for attending the course, but Dando expects that after the sessions are completed, students will be able to sit down and enjoy a game with their husbands or boyfriends. Dando is prepared to discuss any football-related questions posed by students, although the course will be concerned primarily with the basics of the game. Starting tomorrow, September 10, a course entitled “Football for Females” will meet on the Main Street Campus. The course is designed for “the average woman who doesn’t know much about football but who would like to,” according to instructor Bill Dando, who was the linebacker coach of the now-defunct football Bulls. He hopes to convey the rules and basic strategies of football through the use of discussions, films and demonstrations. Buffalo Bills’ trainer Ed Abramowski will be on hand as well to discuss equipment, conditioning, and injuries. Hockey course Another new entry this fall is “Ice Hockey: From Fundamentals to Strategy.” Hockey coach Ed Wright is teaching this course, which also meets on Tuesdays from 8:15 to 10:05 p.m. Planned topics include not only rules and basics of ice hockey, but strategies as well. Films and demonstrations will again be used in conjunction with regular lectures, out unlike the football course, the lectures will be geared more toward coaches, players and knowledgeable spectators. The course began last Tuesday and will run through October 8.

Page nineteen . i �Bus complications faced by residents of Amherst Students living in the Ellicott Complex have endured off-schedule, overcrowded buses during this first week of classes, and as a result, many have been late getting to class, especially those who must commute regularly between the Amherst and Main Street Campuses. Last Wednesday morning, for example, Fred Krueger was waiting for a bus with two blind friends outside the Ellicott Complex. Over a forty minute period, three buses passed, each so packed that the three anxious students could not even get standing room. Mr. Krueger and his friends, like so many others in the last week, were very late for their first classes. Stuck in traffic Bacon, Paul assistant to the vice-president for Operations and Systems, tried to pinpoint the reasons for the bus complications. It was anticipated, he said, that many students living in Ellicott would take most of their classes there, while commuters would arrange their schedules around the Main Campus. There has been an increase of. only year’s operating budget for transportaioon, he said. In determining this year’s budget. Dr. Bacon relied on data and projections that were made last year. $7000 over last Traffic conditions in peak hours have slowed down travel by as much as half an hour, but once students become better acquainted with the school’s surroundings, a more even distribution of passengers should occur and overcrowding should be virtually eliminated, according to Dr. Bacon. m Gustav 355 Norton Hall Only 7 cents a copy!

During the summer. Athletic Director Harry Fritz made the decision that Crew will no longer be part of the University’s athletic program. The reasons for dropping both sports are the same money. In the face of rising costs, an overall budget already trimmed to the bone, and a deficit of at least $6000 from last year, something had to be done. — , Sad but necessary “In view of everything, it was in the best overall interest of the program,” said Fritz, discussing his reluctant decision. “Crew is one of the things less directly related to students,” he added, citing the facts that races were not held on campus, rent had to be paid at the West Side Rowing Club, and student funds paid the salary of part time coaches. Most Buffalo teams are coached by Physical Education instructors who are on salary with the state as professors. However, lack of funds was not the only problem. The team had few competitors returning,.and coaching might not have been available. Crew had been under attack for some time by students who felt it did not fit in with the rest of the program. While Fritz denies feeling this or other pressures, he admitted that the off-campus factor was a problem. Possible precedent? Last year it was firm departmental policy not to drop any sport. Despite the reversal, Fritz doubted the action would be repeated, but was quick to add, “Who knows what next year might bring?” Student Association President Frank Jackalone also doubted anything else would be dropped this year.

The contractors will have four months to complete it, but do not expect the job to take even that long. The target date for completion is December 9. The permanent gymnasium at Amherst is not scheduled to be built for several years. History The idea for a bubble dates back to the opening of the Amherst Campus in 1973. Recreation Director Bill Monkarsh wanted to see a temporary recreational facility on the Amherst Campus. Sweet Home High School was rented last year, but, is no longer available. University President Robert Ketter and SA officers made several attempts to convince Albany that the building was needed before money was finally allocated. The project will cost an estimated $250,000. The Bubble will occupy more than 30,000 square feet, making it larger than the main gym in Clark Hall. It will stand 46 feet in the center, topped by a dome roof of a translucent nylon. The nylon will be in two layers to insulate during the cold winter months and provide better accoustics. - THE OFFICE is located In 355 Norton Hall, SUNV/Buffalo, 3435 Main Street, Buffalo, Now York 14214.

The Bubble will house four basketball courts, four tennis courts, and will contain equipment for volleyball, badminton and an indoor track, approximately an eighth of a mile long. It will also have a weight machine. All of the sports cannot be set up simultaneously, but Monkarsh indicated there would be a partition so at least two different activities could be held at once.

The r'ecommefidations were drawn up by the Sub-Board professional staff in line with a list of priorities set down by student representatives last month. They follow the listings as closely as possible while remaining under a budget ceiling established by the Board of Directors. In addition to the groups not recommended for funding, several organizations expecting higher budgets were recommended for major cutbacks. And while the cuts may be unpopular with a large number of students, Sub-Board officials claim there was “no alternative." They place the blame on the various student governments who,failed to provide funding sufficient to continue services at past levels. The cut that would probably have the most profound effect is the elimination of funds for Ethos, the student magazine distributed free on campus every Thursday. If the recommendation is adopted, yesterday’s issue will have been the last published by Sub-Board. The recommendation, however, does not rule out future publications; plans have already been made to publish Ethos on September 5, using revenue generated by advertising to underwrite the cost Austerity Ethos hopes that nearly S5000 generated from advance payments of advertising contracts will enable them to publish an issue every other week. However, this will depend on additional advertising revenue generated throughout the year. If that should prove insufficient and no alternative sources of funding are found, the magazine may be forced to halt operations. Supervising Editor Bruce Fisher has drawn up an austerity operating plan eliminating stipends, all unnecessary telephone service, and secretarial costs in anticipation of Sub-Board’s failure to come up with funds. The budget recommendation does call for Sub-Board to assume all past debts incurred by Ethos while it was a branch of Sub-Board, and suggests continued recognition of the magazine as an official student group. This would allow them to retain their Norton Hall offices and production facilities. ‘If this were not done, it would have been impossible for us to continue operating,” Mr. Fisher said. ‘It is difficult enough to start —continued on page 13- threatened to destroy unity. Carlotta Bocca, an organizer of Teaching Assistants at the University of Southern California at Los Angeles, recalled that they used a “purely economic, approach” in their four-year effort. In 1968, TA’s there were paid $2000 a year, which included a partial tuition waiver for 10 contact-hours of work. When a group became angered at their were elected working conditions, from every department to draw up pfroposals. Salary increase sympathetic “We had contact among administrators around the question of more money,” Ms. Bocca explained, and after bargaining, the group was allowed free tuition and graduated incomes starting at $3200, and increasing each year by $200. Sam Wakshull, an Executive member of UUP and a faculty member at Buffalo State, said his group went to the Public Employee Relations Board (PERB) to seek union recognition and were told Recalling struggle Given this factor, graduate students have begun forming unions to fight for their economic and political rights. Hank Haslack, an Executive member of the Wisconsin Teaching Assistants Association, recalled the struggle to organize at the University of Wisconsin at Madison. When 400 TAs organized a four-day strike in 1967 to protest the Vietnam War, the State Legislature proposed a bill to cut funds for TA’s. Mr. Haslack said the group threatened a strike involving around 1 500 TA’s if the bill was passed. In the process of gathering support from other TA’s, the group decided to organize a union as to facilitate the fight for other demands. An organizing committee of approximately 90 graduate students was formed, which collected signatures from a majority of the grad students. The group arranged a meeting with the University to seek recognition, and took the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees (AFSCME), The Teamsters, and other trade union representatives with them for support. The union was finally recognized in 1970. No-fire clause mr~.a ■ Sub-Board expected to stop funding ‘Ethos’ and small publications A conference held here by the United Graduate Students (UGS) on June 14 and 15 provided a forum for grads to explore methods of unionizing at the State University at Buffalo. The first workshop focused on the current economic crisis, priorities in education, the changing role of intellectuals and the organization oT unions. Leon Johnson, a member of United University Professionals (UUP), spoke of the need to conduct a concrete analysis of current problems of TA’s. The general ecbnomic crisis, he claimed, has resulted in a “devaluation” of public education through cuts in government funds. Graduate students who are paid as Teaching Assistants, Research Assistants, and for other positions are directly feeling the brunt of these Johnson said. A lack of cutbacks, Mr. decision-making concerning the allocation of funds to the various departments, he asserted, is causing more and more graduate students to see themselves, not as professionals, but as workers. the concept of a union only as it addressed economic demands. While noting although there was a relationship between the two, Ms. Lippman said the inclusion of political demands supported I J^^»_ SHI« Barney Oursler .. they had to be a statewide unit. PERB has ruled that TA’s cannot join unions like the AFT, Mr. Wakshull said. Conditions at other universities were reported at the conference, and it was evident that similar organizing was taking place across the country. At Rutgers, graduate students who joined UUP have won a pay increase to $4000 per year. They also have separate grievance procedures and receive their TA appointment for the duration of their graduate program. Included in the University’s contract with the union was a clause stipulating that TA’s couldn’t be fired for activities outside the classroom. Other provisions called for a 24-hour notice before Professors could be present at a TA’s class, and instituting written evaluations of TA’s work whereby they would be allowed to see their own files. They also reduced or eliminated salary inequities, inequalities among the departments, and won the right to have an outside arbitrator present at their grievance hearings. Wage increases and a health plan were also covered by the contract. A union constitution was drawn up, which stated that all union decisions had to be made by the members, and a steward council consisting of one person from each department was elected to keep in touch with the union executive. In the spring of 1974, the union affiliated with the American Federation of Teachers (AFT) because the AFT had no trusteeship provision, and local unions could maintain their autonomy, Mr. Haslack explained. Across the country At the City University of New York (CUNY), TA’s organized and are now being paid $6000 a year for teaching three classes a week. At the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor, TA’s are in the process of bargaining with the University and appear to be leaning toward affiliation with the AFT, as is the University Of Pittsburgh. TA’s at the University of Toronto have affilliated with a public employees service workers union. Several of those present at the conference spoke of the need to fight for more TA positions for black, Spanish-speaking, and native-American graduate students. It was observed that minorities are under-represented in Graduate School, and in TA positions, and that special efforts should be made to counteract this. Speaking about the actual process of collective bargaining, organizer Barney Oursler surmised that “virtually anything is bargainable as long as you have mass support.” Variety of demands Pauline Lippman, an organizer for the Wisconsin Teaching Assistants Association who was active in its radical caucus, sppke of some conflicts that arose during the early organizing. Some students, she said, wanted to include political national and international demands relating to issues while others The State University at Buffalo was represented at the-conference by 40 graduate students who hold paid positions in 16 departments. UGS is now mapping out strategy to reach graduate students throughout the University, and plans to hold training sessions for organizers during the fall.

See you then. �Be-a-friend has brought kids, students together by Michelle Egan Spectrum Staff Writer In 1971, Robert Moss started 1 the “Be a Friend” program in conjunction with the Community Action Corp (CAC). The program offers a similar in function to “The Big Brothers of America” guiding influence for children deprived of parental benefits, explained Bob Gorski current director. There are presently 75 volunteers, all carefully screened and fully warned of what such a committment entails. The precautions are necessary to ensure a high level of responsibility and are taken to - - protect the children. Volunteers are required to spend a minimum of three hours per week with their “friend.” Activities range from kite flying in the park to trips to McDonald’s and drive-in movies. Once a month, “friends” are treated to group trips, enhancing the scope of their relationships. Placement Children are referred to the program by social agencies like Children’s Hospital and Child and Family Services of Buffalo. Most children have suffered in some way from the loss of a parent and need more attention than is presently given to them. “There are approximately 100 children directly involved with the program” said Bob Gorski. Many others are turned away because of the limited number concerned enough to volunteer. Those children fortunate to have a “friend” receive much companionship and in turn develop a sense of well-being and security. Participants and their families have reacted favorably to the program. “He really did accomplish what I and others thought was impossible in getting Bobby to stop being so withdrawn,” said a grateful mother of one volunteer. “He is very proud to have a big brother and can’t stop talking about all they have done together. There are things that a mother just can’t do as well as another fellow,” another mother explained. ’ Growing demands Volunteers are reimbursed for their expenses through funds from the Buffalo Youth Board. Mr. Gorski said many more volunteers are needed to meet the growing community demands. Working mothers simply cannot find the time to do those “important little extra things that mean so much,” and they appreciate these services, he said. But the services mean even more to the children. Trips, movies, sledding, skating, games and talks, help round out a child’s life. In a household where there are only females, the presence of a big brother has quite an impact. Orientation Freshmen swallow only as much as they can chew well They’re very easy to spot, those freshmen orientation-ers. You can usually catch them wandering around campus in groups of three or more, clutching pink and white information folders to their breasts. “Where’s ‘Deefundawf?” they ask. And you just point. Every Monday and Wednesday morning until August 21, a new flock of freshmen will come flowing into Goodyear Hall on a wave of anticipation to register for three days of computer form salad (No. 2 pencils only). The dorm is virtually wallpapered with colored signs, arrows pointing up, down and counter-clockwise, instructions on everything from how and where to party to how and where to check out. All those welcome to the club-type posters could drive any semi-sane individual batty. hurt,” admitted one aide at 11 p.m. Meals are all served in the Norton Hall cafeteria except Tuesday or Thursday lunch. At 12 noon. Food Service shows up in Diefendorf Hall with stacks of box lunches, consciously planned to provide a well-balanced cold meal. Superaides Darting over and under the entanglement of arms, legs and overnight bags are ten upperclassmen, distinguished by their orange and white superaide badges. They’re the ones who are going to reduce all the mass confusion to a level of decency, to turn “Intro to the University 101” into a light-hearted affair. Much useful information comes out of their mouths, like, “Don’t bother to sign up for gym. You’ll just get closed out anyway,” or “This part of our tour leads us to one of the heavily trafficked spots on campus, the Birth Control Clinic. You may not think you’re that type of girl yet.” Day one standardly includes check-in, small group meetings, welcome speeches by several campus personalities, data forms, questionnaires and the like. Quite a schedule to digest, especially for those weary New Yorker travelers who have spent the entire night on a Student Association (SA) chartered bus. As one disgusted freshman commented: “I didn’t sleep the whole night and then they throw all these forms at me.” The remainder of the conference is devoted to registration, language placement exams, and meetings with academic advisors. The days are long for everyone. “My feet No time to sleep Evening activities center around bonfires, trips to Niagara Falls, concerts on the Norton terrace and parties on the 8th floor of Goodyear. Not only do the freshmen get a chance to intermingle, but it seems that a number of upperclassmen try to move in on the action, always winding up near girls who are wearing halter tops. Well, the noise is healthy anyway. After several weeks of a summer lull, it’s nice to see people and hear voices. Orientation may not always be the most comfortable experience. That feeling of desolation when after four hours of searching the Reporter your courses still conflict; the realization that you, a human being, have been reduced to one social security number among thousands; the unreleased anger at having to grapple with the merciless bureaucracy these are common frustrations the freshmen must learn to cope with in three short days. But it’s always better to eat your food slowly than to shovel it in without chewing. You feel more satisfied when you digest the food thoroughly. At least this brief orientation, bewildering as it may be, will prepare the freshmen somewhat for the non-stop confusion of a university this size, full-swing. - —Kraftowltz WNYPIRG Bicycle lock survey released by Don Eisenmann Contributing Editor To “dispel the confusion that the average consumer feels when he walks into the lofcal bike shop to buy a chain,” the Western New York Public Interest Group (WNYPIRG) has rated some of the security devices available in the Buffalo area. Because the variety of these devices has greatly increased over the past few years, a wide selection of cables, chains and locks of varying price and quality are presently on the market. “We encountered misinformation from the bike store proprietors themselves, that we felt an even greater need for a study of this type,” said project director Richard Futyma. WNYPIRG tested the chains and cables to determine the surface hardness, “case hardening” and “surface carbon content,” all measures of the chain’s toughness. These tests were conducted to find out which devices could not be opened by a the most common tool of a bicycle bolt cutter thief. so much — The report rated Master chains No. 94 and No. 83, and the American Lock Co. chain highest. “They are about equal in overall quality,” the report stated, “but the Master No. 83 (based on cost and weight) seems to be about the best buy.” The study indicated that many bicycle shop sales clerks believed cables to be more theft-proof than chains. The study disproved this, reporting that while cables may be stronger than chains, a cable can be severed strand by strand. A chain must be cut all at once “Cables, especially the self-coiling variety, are light, compact and very convenient, but provide little security,” the study charged. ‘The most secure chains tend to be heavy and cumbersome. One must find a happy medium between convenience and effectiveness.” The best way to lock a bike, according to the report, is to pass the chain around an immovable object and through both wheels and frame.

A decision to tighten up the tuition waiver program was approved by President Robert Ketter last June. Under the stricter program, minority students must adhere to educational and economic guidelines that have been loosely enforced over the past few years, explained lan DeWaal, a graduate assistant at the Law School. To qualify for educational disadvantage, a student must be registered for the University’s Educational Opportunity (EOP) program. Students may also qualify by demonstrating a history of educational disadvantage at the secondary school level. A scale system will be incorporated into the aid program whereby a student whose status falls under a particular economic bracket would have to pay for a least part of the tuition. Those whose parents earn over $ 19,000 would not be eligible for any tuition waiver. Upperclass professional students will be able to receive the amounts they have been receiving until Sept. 1975, while first year professionals must comply with the guidelines beginning this September. According to Andrew Holt, associate Dean of the Graduate school, there had been “signals” from the State Legislature in Albany that a review of the previous tuition waiver program would have to be made by the State University of New York (SUNY) system. This review was due, in part, to a decrease in the allocation of funds for special minority programs. Dannye Holley, asst, professor of Law, explained that under the old system, graduate schools had been granted the responsibility for providing waivers. “There was no category for the graduate student minority program and we had to find a category,” Dr. Holley stated. Possible opposition There have been no problems with the stricter program and minority student groups have not shown disfavor to it, according to Dr. Holley. He added that the new scale was “a very generous one.” However Clyde Giles, a former black faculty member at SUNYAB, said the tighter procedures constituted “a gain taken back.” He said the move compared to “the denial and cutbacking of teacher’s assistance, and the denial of tenure to Black and progressive faculty.” Minority student response was minimal because “the number of students are generally reduced over the summer,” Mr. Giles said, adding that various student groups and coalitions would organize to resist and protest the decision once the year begins. Inaccurate arrest files seen as threat to individual privacy by Howie Kurtz Special to The Spectrum WASHINGTON The Federal Bureau of Investigation’s criminal files contain the records of thousands of ordinary citizens who were once arrested without noting if they were later found innocent, guilty or merely released without being charged with a crime. Yet nearly 60% of all Americans arrested in 1969 were not found guilty by the courts. - — The FBI’s criminal files contain the fingerprints of 20 million people and are available on request to 3750 local police departments, 1420 sheriffs offices and 390 federally-insured banks. Once the FBI furnishes its data to local agencies, it disavows responsibility. The information often ends up in the hands of private businesses, insurance companies, reporters and other unauthorized persons. In the summer of 1965, Dale Menard, a 19-year-old college student, dozed off on a Los Angeles park bench at 3 a.m. The police, finding a wallet nearby, arrested him on “suspicion.” He was detained for two days and released without being charged; a “detention,” not an arrest, under California law. But the Los Angeles police routinely forwarded his “arrest” record to the FBI. Unable to get the FBI to expunge the record, Mr. Menard sued. In April 1974, the District of Columbia Court of Appeals ruled that the FBI cannot claim to be “a mere passive recipient of records received from others,” the court held. find out if the guy was acquitted, then the FBI shouldn’t keep and disseminate the arrest record.” Without any indication of whether a person was later found innocent, guilty or if charges were dropped, an arrest record can be misleading and should not be used, Temple argues. He suggests the FBI place all initial arrest records in a separate file pending a follow-up account, advice rejected by the FBI as “not feasible.” A high Bureau official said FBI director Clarence Kelley is considering banning the use of incomplete arrest records for employment purposes. “It’s unfair for an incomplete arrest record to penalize a guy seeking a taxicab license” when he may not even have been charged with a crime, the official said. When a local police agency requests a criminal file, the FBI furnishes it with no questions asked. “We can’t police the police,” contends a top official in the FBI’s identification division. “It’s up to the local agency to use the data responsibly.” But the Appeals Court in its Menard decision took into account a Records frequently abused statute requiring the FBI to cancel The FBI has files on thousands the exchange privileges of local of cases similar to Menard’s, and agencies that provide the records there are 1.2 billion personal to unauthorized users. records in the 850 other Nevertheless, the FBI has federally-operated data banks. suspended the borrowing Computerization is making these privileges of local police agencies records instantly available to a only six times since 1924, none of growing number of people who them major departments. have no right to them. “An arrest record often proves to be a ‘Promiscuous dissemination’ substantial barrier to The FBI investigates local employment,” the Appeals Court abuses only when a complaint is filed, and concedes that it receives noted.

Acquittal records could be supplied to police only if they have rearrested the subject, or if his first prosecution is still pending. The Ervin bill would require every data-gathering agency to keep its records up-to-date as technically feasible; would mandate random audits of federal and state criminal files; and would grant every citizen the right to inspect his file and correct inaccuracies. Ervin’s bill would also require any agency using an arrest record to verify its accuracy and completeness, and will make sugh verification automatic with computerized systems. It would records to be disseminated, but clamp down on “promiscuous would require that the outcome dissemination” by holding the of the case be listed.

Temple says the ACLU may have to go back to court on these issues. But he hopes Congress will pass a strong privacy law that will place some safeguards on a mushrooming network of criminal and personal data systems that is now, in the words of Federal Judge Gerhard Gesell, “out of effective control.” Throat Granada opens for women Women are now able to view the exploits of Ms. Enke said she was suing to legitimize the Linda Lovelace at the Granada Theater, as a result of entire legal action and felt a figure like $45,000 a New York Civil Liberties Union (NYCLU) injunction, issued last Thursday which prevents manager Italo Zoccolillo from excluding any class of adults. However, the NYCLU is still suing the theater for its short-lived ban on women because it was an “insult against all Buffalo area women,” according to NYCLU’s Killian Vetter. Three plaintiffs who tried unsuccessfully to enter the theater Patricia Yungbluth, vice president of the National Organization of Women (NOW), Linda Enke, head of NOW’s media task force and Elizabeth Tallmade are suing Mr. Zoccolillo for $45,000; they are seeking $15,000 in damages and the remainder as a punitive action. - — Publicity stunt NYCLU lawyer Lawrence Faulkner feels the “no women” policy was a publicity stunt that got out of hand. “Any accommodation that excluded Blacks or Jews or Polish wouldn’t be regarded as a joke, it would be taken very seriously,” he said. “Our feeling is that he [Mr. Zoccolillo] regarded this as a joke, but it’s a gross insult and a flagrant violation of the law. “The burden of proof,” Mr. Faulkner added, “will be on him to prove that the action didn’t cause injury.” would lead people to finally take the matter seriously. ‘If you use a class of women to make money, the only just compensation is financial,” she asserted.

Deep Throat returned in its edited version but Mr. Zoccolillo decided to bar women after allegedly receiving ten to fifteen tails daily from women, objecting to the showing of the film. Mr. Zoccolillo’s lawyer David Jay said the manager “made a mistake which he has freely admitted.” He claimed no one was damaged materially by the policy, which lasted less than a week. ‘It is inappropriate and vindictive for these women to sue for damages,” Mr. Jay maintained. Mr. Zoccolillo has 12 days to answer the action. -Don Eisenmann Friday, 2 August 1974 The Spectrum Page three . . �materialize this year and so wheat prices have gone up also. That wheat deal with Russia did us in.” When a Harriman Baker says the wheat deal with Russia did us in, you’d better believe it. Our heroes Harriman bakers outdo the elves The bakery serves Norton Union, Goodyear cafeteria and will be expanding to Amherst in September. Outside bakeries are not employed by the University by Charles Blaise Staff Writer Spectrum because, as Charlie claims, “we can come up with a better product.” It was a boast that Charlie could only substantiate with words unless “Can I try a sample, Charlie?” He gave me an apricot danish. I hate apricots but I couldn’t be choosey. It tasted, hmm, good. “I dare you find a better piece of danish. It’s as good as your mother’s.” “My mother is a horrible cook.” “You won’t find better pastries anywhere. Or in New York for that matter. I’ve been to German and Jewish bakeries there and ours is still the best.” Unsung heroes are hard to find. We tend to admire the superstars, but give scant attention to the little guy, the ... behind-the-scenes individual, who makes life a little easier or pleasurable. A few “big names” (i.e., O.J. Simpson, Sam Ervin, Dick Van Dyke) have earned my respect over the years, but I can’t help thinking what have they done for me lately? The answer makes me sad and so 1 turn to the University. At first glance, UB is devoid of heroes. I don’t (and refuse to) look up to administrators, faculty or students. That seems to cover everyone, but wait there’s got to be someone. I think I may have found them. They’re brash, bold and beautiful. If Jim Croce was still around, he probably would have written a song about the Harriman Bakers. — Birth of a baker 1 asked Charlie how he started in the business. He’ told me that it was out of necessity. He bagan as a floor sweeper and worked his way up. He’s been a Harriman Baker for over 10 years. “Are you happy with your work?” 1 — What bakery? The Harriman Bakers? Once more with feeling. The Harriman Bakers? And you thought Harriman was just a library (or whatever it is). These guys have been around for years, creating the most succulent delicacies for the most unrefined of tastes. I had to go talk to them. The Harriman Bakers were out to lunch when I arrived. The Harriman Bakers go out for lunch? I asked a truck driver about their whereabouts. “Where arc the Harriman Bakers?” ‘They went to Norton Union,” he said. “And I thought bakers knew about the best places to eat.” “Wait a second. They’re back.” They strode through the bakery doors like all the president’s men. I couldn’t help noticing how proud they looked. It was as if they were thinking “All right boys, this hill!” The Harriman Bakers were ready to plant their flag on Iwo lima. “What do you want, kid?” “I’d like to do a story on the Harriman Bakers.” They seemed pleased. “Okay, uhh, Charlie, show the kid around.” is it, over the Charlie shows the kid Charlie, one of Harriman’s premier bakers, introduced himself but didn’t know exactly what to say. I suggested he give me a tour of the bakery. ‘This is the Ferris oven. It has six shelves and right now, we’re baking date-nut bread. It can bake 720 cookies a crack, in a little less than 10 minutes.” “Why do they call it a Ferris oven?” “Because it operates like a ferris wheel.” “Oh.” We moved from the ferris oven over to the vegetable shortening. Charlie launched at right into the Dannon Yogurt pitch. “Harriman Bakery uses no artificial preservatives whatsoever. The pastries have a flavor of their own.” Charlie explained that skyrocketing food prices have hurt the bakery business. “Sugar has hit the ceiling, fruits have hit the ceiling, but flour at least, has remained stable. The big wheat supply didn’t asked. “I’m definitely happy. Bakers are happy people. They’re creative and they’ve got more pride than most people. A baker will never send out something that he’s not pleased with.” “Do you get many compliments?” “No news is good news.” “What does that mean?” “The only time you hear people is when you’ve messed up. If there are no rumbles, I’m satisfied.” That seemed logical. Charlie had to get back to his danish and I left those happy Harriman Bakers feeling a new hero workship. Well .. that sounds a little trite, so let’s just say I learned how a cream filled donut is filled. .

Two physiologists at the State University at Buffalo are discovering why. David R. Pendergast, assistant professor of physiology, and Donald W. Rennie, chairman of the physiology department, have been studying human swimming proficiency in and under the water surface for the past three years. Through measurements based on energy expenditure, they have found that man is only from two to ten per cent efficient as a swimmer. In comparison, he is about 20 to 25 per cent efficient while walking or running. Inside the University’s Environmental Physiology Lab, tests are conducted in a 60-meter circular swimming tank the only one of its kind in the world. The tank measures 2.5 meters (approximately eight feet) in depth, 2.5 meters wide and contains a glass viewing area under water and a revolving platform above water to enable uninterrupted measurements during tests. — W-341J ICarbra Streisand ft 2-3.50-5:40 PC 7:30-9:30 EASTERN I ■■ I 9 I TRANSIT RD.ot MAIN ST. ■ 631-1080 THERE’S A (LOVE] BUG GOING AROUND WAIT GT?

The amount of energy used in running varies only slightly among people with similar body characteristics, but in swimming, evergy expenditure is highly variable and dependent upon swimming proficiency. Energy expenditure is measured in terms of the amount of oxygen used and the kilocalories of energy produced. (Kilocalories or Kcal are the calories in the diet books which are labled with a capital C.) The energy expended per unit of distance swam is an indication or index of the swimmer’s technical ability or proficiency. For instance, at a leisurely pace swimming freestyle for 1000 meters or approximately .6 miles, the unskilled male swimmer will use 95 liters of oxygen to produce 475 Kcal of energy. The male swimmer of average skill will use up 65 liters of oxygen to produce 325 Kcal, while the skilled male will exhaust 42 liters of oxygen to produce 210 Kcal of energy. Average times to complete the distance would be 32, 22, and 14 minutes respectively. In other words, it takes a skilled swimmer less than one half the energy of an unskilled swimmer to swim the same distance. Or, the skilled swimmer could swim the distance twice as fast. Women expend approximately 30 per cent less energy to perform the same task. In the same tests, the unskilled female swimmer used 65 liters of oxygen to produce 325 Kcal the same as the average male swimmer. The skilled female swimmer used only 33 liters of oxygen to produce 165 Kcal. “This shows that the female is actually a more proficient swimmer than the male,” claimed Dr. Pendergast. - Women more buoyant Why? One reason is the presence in the women of more adipose Page four The Spectrum Friday, 2 August 1974 . » * . (fat) tissue which accounts for better buoyancy. It has long been known that women are more buoyant because of the additional adipose tissue located in the breast area, Dr. Pendergast explained. “However, women also have more adipose tissue in the legs and this is an important consideration in regard to the use of the kick in swimming,” he added. “Because of her buoyant legs, the female benefits from using a kick. Her position in the water is such that the kick will actually propel her,” Dr. Pendergast said. On the other hand, male legs contain more muscle and are therefore less buoyant and positioned lower in the water. The energy a man uses to kick helps to keep his legs from sinking, but does less to propel him. To test this hypothesis, Dr. Pendergast has attached small floats to the male swimmer’s legs, and has found that this causes males’ energy costs to decrease to that of the female. Other considerations which contribute to swimming performance are aerobic power, the capability of oxygen intake as delivered to the muscle through the circulatory system, and anaerobic power, the “automatic” energy stored in the muscles which does not need oxygen. Because the male has more aerobic and anaerobic power, he is able to swim generally longer and faster than the female even though he is less proficient. This accounts for the usually better times in competitive swimming. Practical applications of the Rennie-Pendergast study could reduce a substantially high number of swimming accidents as millions of —continued on page 13— �News Anal Vigil and fast protest policy toward Vietnam Democrats and Republicans support impeachment articles WASHINGTON, D.C.

With those words, Chairman Peter Rodino struck his gavel last Saturday night and the House Judiciary Committee had recommended to the full House that President Richard Nixon be impeached for obstruction of justice. The 27-to-l 1 vote was no real surprise; it had been widely known for days that six Republicans would join the committee’s 21 Democrats in the first recommendation that a President of the United States be impeached in 107 years. Yet as the roll-call vote was sounded last weekend as member after the member uttered “aye” in low, solemn tones full reality actually descended on the nation for the first time. After two years of disclosure and scandal, the moment of reckoning had come, and the impeachment of the President, which still seemed unthinkable just a few short months ago, had arrived. At the Western White House in San Clemente, the optimistic statements continued to flow from the mouths of the Zieglers and the Haigs; yet the reactions of aides indicated that the reality that the President might be ousted from office had finally hit home. In the days before the vote, the White House strategy had been to paint the impeachment drive as a partisan vendetta of Nixon-haters, McGovern liberals and the press.

The quiet anguish of Walter Flowers of Alabama; the emotional outpouring of Tom Railsback of Illinois; the anger at Presidential abuses of Caldwell Butler of Virginia, these moving scenes undercut the White House claim of an anti-Nixon vendetta. And in the end, seven of the committee’s 17 Republicans had been persuaded by the evidence to support one or more articles of impeachment and the realization that the Nixon Presidency might soon be aborted reached even the Dr. Pangloss-world of San Clemente. — Impeachment arithmetic For the House panel’s bipartisan vote to impeach President Nixon signaled one undisputable fact; that the full House of Representatives would follow that recommendation and vote to try Mr. Nixon in the Senate. Although Ron Ziegler continued to protest that the full House would exonerate Mr. Nixon, the arithmetic remans inescapable. There are 248 Democrats and 187 Republicans in the House. Thirty or 40 Southern Democrats may support Mr. Nixon, though the figure will certainly be minimized because the committee’s three Southern Democrats have backed impeachment. But these Democrats will be offset by 40 or more Republican votes for impeachment, a position certainly made more viable by the pro-impeachment ballots cast by seven of the committee’s Republicans. In fact, the Republican support of Larry Hogan of Maryland, a conservative and former FBI agent; of Robert McClory of Illinois, the panel’s second-ranking Republican; of Caldwell Butler and Wisconsin’s Harold Froelich, two more Republican conservatives, could ignite a mass GOP defection on the House floor.

Blit there it was, buried on page ten of Tuesday’s New York Times (that bastion of radicalism which annually reports a profit of several million dollars). The headline read, “Communists Take Heavy Toll of Saigon’s Forces Near Capital’’ (why is it that it’s perfectly acceptable to refer to one side as the communists but referring to the other as ‘The Capitalists’ is considered radical rhetoric?). At any rate, the story had to do with some battle 2S miles from Saigon in which thousands of casualties have been reported on both sides. But, both sides of what? How can there be - casualties when there is no war? The next thing you know, the television networks will pick this, crap up and we’ll be forced to watch people dying from a surplus of bullets and a deficiency of rice while we consume our $1.20 a pound hamburger (disgraceful how these prices have gone up). Then those radical college professors will start using this stuff to poison the minds of our young people, teaching them to protest in the streets because the American.government is unresponsive to its people. Unresponsive to its people! That’s the most ridiculous thing I’ve ever heard. Look at how they responded to the energy crisis and got those prices down. Why, the administration is so. responsive they’ve decided to bug every building in America so they can anticipate our needs. I’m probably just getting carried away. After all, Nixon will be impeached, maybe even convicted, so the system must Work. Only one thing bothers me. Richard Nixon was responsible for several hundred thousand deaths in Vietnam, but the Congress did nothing. Richard Nixon supported the overthrow of a democratically elected government in Chile and its Vietnamese treated them like the barbarians they replacement with a vicious military dictatorship, but are. How come the men who were enslaved into the the Congress did nothing.

Beyond Nixon While the impeachment of an American President cannot be considered a cure-all for society's ills, the thorough, eloquent, almost solemn search for truth that has characterized the deliberations of the House Judiciary Committee is certainly worthy of praise. Instead of degenerating into a "lynch mob" or "kangaroo court," as Mr. Nixon and company would have us believe, 28 Democrats and Republicans have clearly articulated why they feel the President did not do his utmost to see that the laws "were faithfully executed." Men like Robert McClory and Tom Railsback, whose anguish over bucking the Republican party leadership was evident throughout the discussions, can be admired for placing conscience before practicality. And even 'Tteps. Wiggins and Sandman, two of the President's staunchest and most partisan supporters, did their best to explain in detail why they opposed impeachment. If there has been one dark spot during the week-long televised debates, it has been the behavior of local Congressman Henry P. Smith (R., Tonawanda). While his anti-impeachment colleagues spent hours justifying their votes, he sat there in stony silence. Some months ago, Mr. Smith intimated that he was deeply troubled by the allegations that Nixon had obstructed justice, and he has been a critic of the illegal bombing of Cambodia. Vet he voted for neither of these articles, without so much as explaining why. His reluctance to defend his position lends credence to charges by critics that he has been compromised by a desire to be appointed to a United Nations post. Looking beyond impeachment, it must be realized that Nixon's departure will only be the beginning of what must become a thorough housecleaning of American government. 'The second reconstruction is immediately ahead of us," as columnist Pete Hamill has observed. In other words, impeachment will have been a waste of time if we do not carefully repair the system that spawned men like Richard Nixon. With the same zeal which characterized its impeachment investigation. Congress must enact strict campaign laws that would *■' prohibit corpdrtitions like ITT from purchasing elections and £ compromising the actions of Presidents. Members of Congress must also V continue to assert themselves in other areas if they are ndt to' be i i ■ emasculated by future Presidents. The unquenchable thirst for profit by large supercorporations at the expense of the American working class must come to an end, and every individual's right to privacy must be upheld at any cost. These are the kinds of things that must be done if Richard Nixon's . impeachment is to moan anything. The removal of one individual must not be confused with the correction of all governmental inequities. , , , _ ’ . . , Rage six The Spectrum Friday, 2 August 1974 . . .. .. , refuse his half (by the way, were they going to send days for shoplifting. feedback Housecleaning needed To the Editor. Those famUiar with the politics of the Spaitacist League/Revolutionary Communist Youth were probably surprised when they read the headline to Michael O’Neill’s article in the 26 July The Spectrum: “Impeachment It just may not be enough.” The SL/RCY has focused its position on Nixon’s impeachment around the slogan “Impeachment Is Not Enough!” and has employed the slogan several times as the lead headline of our press. Workers Vanguard. Whether Mr. O’Neill intended his headline to-be some sort of half-hearted agreement with the SL/RCY is beside the point. The content of his ... article more than demonstrates his differences with our politics. Following in the tradition qf naive liberalism, he argues that the elimination of onecorrupt politician may not be sufficient, that a more' thorough housecteaning in Washington may. be necessary. In contrast, the SL/RCY maintains that there is no qualitative difference between the Democratic and Republican parties; both represent ers To the the interests of that class that owns and runs the U.S. The impeachment of Nixon and the substitution of a President from either of those two capitalist parties would constitute a hollow victory for the working class in this country. Any such president would carry out the same racist, imperialist, anti-labor policies of the Nixon administration. The solution to the “impeachment crisis” is not a “cleaner” president, but rather, the mobilization of the working class to take power. The labor movement must demand new elections in order to put forward a labor candidate counterposed to the program and candidates of the Democrats and Republicans. If the bourgeoisie refuses, labor must be prepared to undertake a political general strike to enforce this demand. Workers must oust the present labor bureaucracy and build a labor party that will fight for a workers’ government.

Peter Bommarito International Union �Performers kick off summer series at Artpark Miles Davis First he was a child of bop, then the father of cool, the cousin of the avant-garde, the black sheep of electronics, and today he is generally considered the mother of it all: Miles Davis, the horn, wardrobe, the music, and band. It was quite effete to have Miles open the Artpark concert series. The grounds around the building are beautiful, with a path down to the river and many fields surrounded by trees and concrete. Behind the building they built a hill, and are planning to sell outdoor tickets for future concerts; the back of the building has special doors that open up, and provide an excellent view of the stage with all the sound at half price. Convenient free parking is also provided, and about ten minutes before the doors o|»ened, the lot filled with a mixed bag of Miles fans from all over the area Everyone was there: Joe Zawinal, Sugar Ray Robinson, Bill Savino, Jack Nicholson, Art Carney, Philip Oliva, Bob Seagren, Margaret Meade, Betty Sands. We all sat outside the concert hall, waiting for Miles to come on stage and talking about the many features of the new white monument. Phil Silvers told us all about the stage, how it was 60 feet deep, and had 109 configurations. Jack Nicholson told me there was no mechanical ventilation system. Instead, a series of panels along the walls naturally kept the air circulating, but did not allow for any smoking in the hall. On stage Suddenly there was a blare of sound from Inside Miles had made his appearance. I rushed to my seat, and just in time, because Miles never says a word on stage: all of a sudden he'll signal the band to begin, whether you are in your seat or not. And that's exactly what he did. He gave the drummer a nod, a funky rhythm picked up, and the race was on. Miles says that he never announces the members of his band in order to confuse the critics who "don't do nothin'." I recognized only two members; Steve Grossman played soprano sax and electric flute, and Reggie Lucas worked on his guitar. There was Tall 'n' Skinny on electric bass, Joe Rhythms on congas, Fatty the Pirate was the second guitarist and percussionist, and Billyjack DeJoncobham was the drummer. There was an electric piano sitting on stage, but no one sitting behind it. I was hoping Lonnie Liston Smith might have taken the wrong subway and was a little late. We would soon see. Miles also never announces the names of the songs he's so helpful I just love him. The first number caught the stage by surprise, and filled it up with sound too fast. Everyone was playing at once, with Miles bent over his Niagara-Mohawk trumpet, the bass player behind shades smiling, Reggie Lucas looking very insecure, and the sound building and building till Miles turned around and signaled . . . everyone stopped playing at once, while Miles noddled around on his horn. After a few runs he gave another signal and they all immediately began playing again, as if they had never stopped. — Stop and go He would do that very often, stop and start the band as if they were a record and he was the needle. Steve Grossman ended up playing by himself very often, and doing very well. The only white man in the group, he knew his place and made the most of it. My favorite parts were when the drummer would calm down, and the guitars would turn down till the conga player stood out, and Miles would play his horn, like a waltz through an electric jungle. Then he would wave his arms and the band would start flying again. Miles ended the mystery of the electric piano half way through the first set, when he walked over it it, trumpet in his left hand, and began playing piano with his right, like an amputated Sun Ra. By the end of the evening he had spent more time at the piano then with his horn. The only song in the first set that I knew was a riff from the second side of Jack Johnson. At one point Miles picked up his yellow jacket, and walked off the stage. It was the end of the first set. Miles' music is still unlike anyone else's. This band wasn't filled with his usual assortment of superstars, but they were good. They weren't very tight, but since I don't think that was an objective of the music, it isn't really a valid criticism. Miles constantly dropped hints of where he could take the songs, but rarely went. It's better in analogy: while most musicians play in the street, giving a clear indication of the direction, Miles is jumping around in the houses along the way. You never know which backyard he'll scoot across next, but when it’s all over he's outlined a crazy-quilt street. And along the way you get to see some pretty outasite living rooms Part two The second set started with Miles changing his shirt. Then the band launched into the full, funky side of Jack Johnson, with Reggie Lucas taking a great solo, very bluesy and a tribute to Jimi Hendrix. Miles flew to Seattle for Jirrii's funeral, he likes to say. Reggie's got that Hendrix moustache and stands way back in the shadows, making funny faces as he plays. He's also a.cutie. Near the end he faked playing the guitar with his teeth, and when he brought it back down he had a big grin on his face. Miles did his most powerful solo on J.J.. He took off the mute on the trumpet, kicked aside the wah-wah pedal, and blew away. He once more signaled the band to completely stop, and hunched over and played alone for a minute, and when he gave the band the cue to start up again they went into this super electric bop rhythm, an echo from Miles ten years ago, and it was just fine. I must say a word about Fatty the Pirate. He sat at a table on one side of the stage, and he had three electric guitars ready to use, plus metal mushrooms and xylophones. He played funny rock and roll licks, and generally enjoyed'himself. What he did unbelievably was put a pick up on a thumb piano, and played electric thumb piano, and if that isn't a sign of the electric devil, well, this be able to mix it right. But no, Lightfoot opened with 'The Watchman's Gone," and OUCHI His vocal mike was about ten times louder than everything else put together, and his voice distorted, crackled and split ears. (Later on, he finally lowered it himself, which helped a bit.) Because of the nature of acoustic music, it is especially essential that- you have a clear, sensitive sound system, so there was an immediate disadvantage. Rare performer ln the program book, Lightfoot is described as "one of those rare performers who is acknowledged to sound better in concert than on record." This may be true, but it certainly was not the case Friday night. He spoke very little to the crowd, and the repertoire, which included most of Sundown as well as the standards ('The Soldier," "If You Could Read My Mind," etc.) basically sounded like the album cuts sans everything but bass, rhythm and lead guitar. Also, he played a total of 55 minutes, and with people paying up to $7.50 (that's about one dollar per ten The conga player, otherwise called Mtume, would to his amp and by turning some device a giant whirrling sound would envelope the stage. I could find walk over what instrument he was playing, and by the exact science of guessing I think it was a tape recorder. Miles will try just about anything, and with the world of Thomas Edison around us, much more is possible. Everything on stage'was electrified, and I was worried that with Miles occasionally spitting on the floor, somebody would get a nasty shock. Instead I think Miles saw what I did: one of the walls of the building started to buckle a little for the intensity of the sound, and Miles once again walked off the stage, this time for good, and was nice enough to give us a wave of his very talented hand. Mtume stayed on for another minute and did a conga solo, and then It was all over the back wall started to collapse, everyone rushed out of the building, and we watched the concert hall crumble and roll into the Niagara River. —Jeffrey Benson nobody who knew — minutes) to see just his act, certain parties were justifiably annoyed However. Although I almost don't want to say this, there is talent here that simply cannot be ignored. Lightfoot didn't introduce the band, so I don't know who to credit, but (once I adjusted to the sound system), I could hear something very subtle and enticing happening. Between Lightfoot's rhythm guitar, the lead guitar and the bass, the three men very adeptly maintained a tapestry of delicate proportions: a musical spectrum with the overall quality of wind chimes. For this reason, it was the ballads, which are more delicate in feeling, that were most successful in reaching me like 'Too Late For Prayin'." Gordon did two songs written by others: 'Tennessee Stud" and 'The Auctioneer Song." He made an attempt at humor on the first by changing a line from "rode all night til my back was sore" to "til my ass was raw." 'The Auctioneer Song" has a chorus which is a musical rendition of an auctioneer's pitch Steve Goodman does it much better. Having no expectations, I had, on the whole, a fairly pleasant evening. However, everyone knew (including Lightfoot, I'm sure), that he could put out quite a bit more without much more effort, and when pleasant could have been excellent so easily, it's disappointing. ocqS tii -WillaBassen * Gordon Lightfoot So that's it.

The inside of the theater is futuristic: clean lines, arches, bright colors and a vast stage with a black curtain that is very oppressive when empty.

This past week, a different Charles Bronson movie opened at each of them. Because of this Death Wish coincidence and because their titles (DW) at the Holiday and Mr. Majestyk (MM) at the Como are two of the most easily-forgotten titles in film history (I don't know why this is, but it is), there is bound to be some confusion. Those who take the trouble to distinguish between them will probably do so on the basis of where they're playing, or by their ratings (the first is rated R, the latter — - PG). It's hard to say whether it's really worth the bother to tell them apart. The appeal and effect is identical in both cases. Both films establish Bronson as a strong but innocent good-guy who is beset by the forces of evil. Under extreme pressure, he must fight and kill. His friends are shallow caricatures, and his enemies are grotesque crazies like the monsters in superhero comic books. Bronson himself emerges as apart, here's an easy way. DW takes place mostly in New York City; MM is set in Colorado. The difference in locale is important. In the West, if says someone stomps you, you can stomp on him — MM. In invidiously the big, impersonal city, evil strikes and rapidly and there is no way to discover who is responsible for the crime. The thing to do in the city (says DW) is to lash out at evil just as impersonally as it strikes you. So maybe there is an important difference, after all. Incidentally, the Bronson movies are not really as terrible as the "Dirty Harries" only because Bronson is much more pleasant to watch than Clint Eastwood. He may not be much of an actor, and even though the films swallow up a lot of his charm in their bloodbaths, Bronson comes across with a warmer personality. He doesn't have Eastwood's need to be hard and aloof, just competent. Bronson doesn't give the impression that he's got all the answers of MGM musicals. cinematic film some breathtaking dancing by Fred Astaire and Gene Kelly.

Idiot's Delight. Having said these favorable things about That’s Entertainment, I must point out a flaw in the way it was assembled. The film is narrated by a group of big-name stars (Liz Taylor, Mickey Rooney, Liza Mannelli . .) and it may fool some people into thinking that it's a fair look at MGM studios. True, the stars take some minor digs at the stuido, but the general tone is" that of children reminiscing about a sometimes arbitrary, but always firm and loveable daddy. That's not really a true picture, according to some other stars who worked for the studio. By anyone's stnadards, it certainly isn't a balanced view. I would have preferred a more historical approach than the sentimentally distorted one director/ writer/ producer Jack Haley Jr. gives us. Even better would have been the inspired pseudo-documentary job that a good young director narration: Simple-minded Bronson's movies are not as harmless as comic they establish good-bad books, although relationships in the same simple-minded way. Most comic books do not allow their heroes to carry guns, and most comic book heroes have never actually killed anyone. Violence in comic books is bloodless and incredibly stylized so that the conflicts become little different from chess games. Whatever messages the comics spout in their occasionally-inspired trashy way, they do not condones, any kind of killing or maiming for any reason. In the Bronson films, it's okay to kill as long as you kill the right guy. In fact, the deck is stacked so unfairly, that if you don't kill, you're either stupid or a sissy-pants. In either case you're dead content to remain there an economically complex and developed nomadic and subsistent one, yet both groups The sailors represent society: the Eskimos a create harmony by exchanging customs. Although much pleasure is derived by the immediate exchange, the drawback stems from a failure to fully understand what motivates the other's ideas and actions.

Warren Oates*portrays a brazen and suspicious man who introduces the Eskimos to the least desirable customs of his own culture. The oldest of the three, he is least adaptable to the unfamiliar environment and is irrational at times in his desire to return home. Unwilling to adapt in order to survive in the tundra, his actions are often disruptive to the Eskimos' lifestyle. Portagee, played by Lou Cosset, is an amiable and likeable fellow, perhaps the only dreamer among the three. Although originally frightened and uncertain, he accepts the friendship of the Eskimos and is able to adapt with relative ease Timothy Bottoms depicts an innocent youth who accepts and follows the native customs. Having fallen in love, he re-evaluates and shifts priorities within the framework of the nomadic tribe, and is Microcosm I like most "coming attractions" better than most movies, and for years I've wished they'd make a film composed entirely of "coming attractions." they've That's what done That's in Entertainment, except, of course, that all the attractions have already come.

Translated from the French by Anselm Hollo. (Grove Press, Querelle by Jean $7.95). This new book by Jean Genet new. Published in France by Gallimard in 1953, it appeared under the title Querelle de Brest. The novel was written before The Thief’s Journal and before the series of great plays ( Deathwatch, The Maids, The Balcony, The Blacks, The Screens ). Previously, Genet had published his poetry and three is not really novels: Our Lady of the Flowers. The Miracle of the Rose and Funeral Rites. Genet's most recent pronouncement in America was his Mayday Speech, delivered at Vale University in 1970. While hardly satisfying one's curiosity as to Genet's more recent activities, the American publication of Querelle provides an indication of Genet's development as he moved from fiction to documentary fiction to autobiography and onward to drama. Querelle's plot is simple, its telling is slightly skewed. A ship, Le Vengeur, docks. It is anchored Our Weekly Reader Stix Hooper steals jazz festival show near the city of Brest. A sailor, Querelle, murders his accomplice in a smuggling attempt. A dockworker, Gil Turko, murders a mason. Turko is suspected of both murders. Querelle visits Turko where he is hiding. He fascinates Turko. He loves him. Turko, captured and executed, is Querelle's Saviour. Querelle, whose sin has been cleansed by the other murderer's execution, returns to his ship. Le Vengeur leaves its port in the city of Brest. The plot complicates: thft-e is a whorehouse. La Feria. Few of the sailors visit, the stench of urine keeps them from entering. Yet the whorehouse has been mythologized. Every sailor knows about it. Madame Lysiane and her homosexual pimp Nono keep house. Querelle's twin brother, Robert, has an affair with Madame Lysiane. Mario, the police detective, is in cahoots with Nono, the pimp. Slowly the killers merge with their victims, the two murderers become each other, the two brothers share their love for each other by loving the whore, the detective falls in love with the criminal he trails. Only inverts, Genet says, can understand the truth of these loves and deaths. The novel, therefore, is not so much a novel as a series of "exhibits.” As the plot proceeds. Genet's narrator interrupts to reveal the psychologies behind the turning. The detective invents his fantasy of homosexuality and falls in love with it: it is his monster the homosexual murderer. The dockworkers mythologize the sea the expanse they've never known and find themselves seduced by sailors. The prostitute finds herself the mediatrix between two brothers by sleeping with her they sleep with each other. Of Genet, Sartre writes; "Not all who would be are Narcissus. Many who lean over the water see only a vague human figure. Genet - — — — sees himself everywhere; the dullest surfaces reflect his image; even in others he perceives himself, thereby bringing to light their' deepest secrets. The distrubing theme of the double, the image, the counterpart, the enemy brother, is found in all his works." In this work, Genet functions as the mirror that reveals the doubled image. As the naturalistic narrative proceeds. Genet intrudes to point out the characters' convergence. He uses a psychologist's voice ("at this point we see ...") to educate his readers. First he reveals character, then the metaphysic behind character action. He educates the reader in inversion. As the book reaches its conclusion, that "we" achieves new significance. The result of this education in "turning" is an emergence of a new kind of narrator: the narrator who hopes to blend, converge with his reader. Kenneth Burke, in his essay on Djuna Barnes' Nightwood (a book whose surface reflects the lesbianism of its author and whose depths reveal a terror and understanding of nightmare and sexuality unrivalled by any novel) hits upon the notion of turning, from the Latin root vertere (to turn). He writes about version, our English modern of the Latinate Inversion, perversion and conversion. Invert, from the Latin, suggests to turn to, to transform, to turn backwards. Pervert suggests overturning, per being an intensifier with vertere, to turn. Convert involves turning together, the change brought about by this turn. Burke is sometimes misguided in applying these derivations to Barnes' work. In a consideration of Genet, this notion of progressive inversion leading to perversion and finally to conversion is useful. It helps to explain Genet's understanding of his sexuality as religious Sartre calls him Saint Genet. The final conversion is transcendant. In Querelle it accounts for the merging of character, the convergence, of sexuality and representative root. — philosophy. This is the second night of music at the First Saturday, 7/27/74 Falls Jazz Festival. Because tonight's lineup included Annual Niagara Jimmy Smith and Sonny Stitt, I chose this program over last night's. I may have been mistaken. Smith's trio never seemed to get together. His drummer in particular failed to complement Smith's rich organ sound. Smith spent a good deal of energy clowning and hamming it up for the audience. He's too good, however, not to show some of his talent. This he did on a slow, weaving one-handed blues solo. Later his muted right handed hammering produced a small miracle on the instrument, sounding like - the wind. Pick up Stitt joined Smith's trio on Cole Porter's "Easy To Love." With Stitt as an impetus, things began to pick up. The trip began to pull together. Smith directing his younger associates in how to accompany Stitt's prancing alto. Watching Stitt I was inspired, as I have been before, to consider the art of the jazz musician who stands nakedly before an audience and his musical peers. He forges mystery and previously unknown music on that spot, spending creative energy, distilling a creative product that can never be recovered. Stitt's second number was played on tenor. It was a swing number that felt \tery good at the start, got bogged downjn its middle, and picked up towards the end. As he got going again there was an expectancy in the crowd that had been absent up to then. Stitt found a riff from Ellington's "Perdido" and one could feel a surge of agreement pass over the hall. But Stitt cut it short. He wasn't going to leave too much of himself tonight. And more a The tfye show consisted of Bill Withers, the Staple Singers, and the Crusaders. Withers sang numerous songs including his popular hits "Ain't No Sunshine When She's Gone" and "Lean on Me." I saw nothing in his performance of the songs to be excited aifcout. In fact, I wondered why a performer of, such obvious sentimentality had been included in a jazz program. One song did come across well a work of honest sentiment (not sentimentality) called "Grandma's Hands." The Staple Singers were fine. They closed the show with a polished, they demonstrated that yet exciting performance; professionalism need not involve a sacrifice of feeling. Their secular gospel message never had more articulate representation. But my most lavish praise is reserved for the Crusaders (formerly the Jazz Crusaders). This soulful R&B oriented jazz ensemble got the audience out of their seats. Wilton Felder played sax with the lush tone and rhythms of the southern blues he sounded like Ray Charles would on saxophone. Wayne Henderson on trombone and Joe Sample on electric piano provided much of the spirit behind this group's happy sound. But it was the drummer, Stix Hooper, who truly excelled. He got off a five minute solo that brought exuberant shouts from the , audience.

Stars (Cicely Tyson, Ethel Merman, Michael Tilson Thomas); a huge balloon emblazoned "Artpark;" and, of course, a fireworks display.

And with Commander Cody and David Bromberg coming on August 7, Roger McGuinn on August 8, and Harry Chapin on August 10, the Artpark's musical offerings should at least be well-attended.

The Spectrum/Prodigal Sun Friday, 2 August 1974 . �The Pete Hamill Column The House Judiciary Committee has made its judgment on three articles of impeachment, and Richard Nixon will soon be gone. The votes are already there in the full House of Representatives. Through polls the American People are also making their feelings clear, and the Senate will almost certainly ict Nixon and remove him from ing. Now we must begin thinking office, probably before Thai about the America that Nixon leave behind. America now is the most sorely wounded it has been since the Civil War. Plea bargaining and special treatment for white collar felons has left the system of justice a despicable laughingstock. The economy is a shambles, and a major depression is now a starkly ominous possibility. With the example set from the top, lawlessness is rampant; murder, robbery and rape are something all Americans must live with. In addition, the exposure of this criminal White House followed immediately upon the act of mass homicicc, known as Vietnam, a national crime for which we have yet to make atonement. - 'SCATI AN INOtCTMINT ll NOT A CONVICTION, AND I DON'T KNOW ABOUT ANY MUO' ANYTHING Outside Looking In by Clan Colucci calm, magisterial, lacking in rancor or obiter John dicta, even quoting the greatest Justice Marbury vs. Marshall in the greatest case Madison. “It is emphatically the province and duty of the Judicial department to say what the law is.” Period. With that, the House Judiciary Committee opens debate on the impeachment of the President. Chairman Rodino; an almost cloyingly American success story. He will see that whatever is done is done right. The country, getting its first good look at this son of an immigrant Italian skilled laborer, breathes. Ranking Republican Hutchinson; the President will not be railroaded while he can help it. His co-senior Republican colleague McClory will probably vote one count if properly phrased. Kestenmeier’s eyebrows are this year’s summer replacement for Sam Ervin’s. They will shift fluidly in more directions than one would think possible when the defense is too outrageous. Railsback; looking and sounding tike Tom Smothers, acts like a man about to execute his grandmother. Sandman; big, burly, - The columnist is sitting on his bed trying to put together a last column for the summer, laboring under the misapprehension that a last column is more significant than any other. He stares at the sheets of yellow, legal-size paper an account of Elliot covered with other ideas Richardson looking for a job (shamefully plagiarized from Doonesbury creator Garry Trudeau) and a reply to attacks made against him in the July 19 issue of The Spectrum over his handling of the story on the canning of William analyzing the handwriting. (Writing Shockley stories out first by hand is a dreadful habit, one the columnist always exhorted his former staff members to break. Composing directly on the typewriter is much better. But the only typewriter in the house is a badly designed electric and on hot, muggy days he hasn’t the energy to grapple with the technology.) The unusual “t” crossings indicate variously, resourcefulness, sensitivity, idealism, determination and secretiveness. The circle used in place of dots and periods stands for artisticflair, vanity or both. The spacing of words and letters shows thrift and hesitancy to reveal emotions. But none of this gets the columnist anywhere. He muses, and he takes a sip of tepid iced tea from his very own Bugs Bunny glass procured at the Marshall Street Carrols that very - - day. — - pugnacious, apparently principled. There will be sparks at this hearings Edwards follows with a case for impeachment. Bland, smooth, making impeachment seem the course of reason after Sandman’s belligerent demand for evidence.

The President’s Men Wiggins, Latta with his gratuitous attack on Albert Jenner Lott, and Dennis. Counsel John Doar, looking like a moose with a monotone voice that fails to live up to the pyrotechnic promise in his eyes. - - Bugs was a childhood idol to the columnist, the only true comic hero in the Warner Brothers cartoon stable. (Daffy Duck was an occasional exception but he faced the indomitable Bugs too often.) Tweedy Pie had to have his/her hermaphroditic tailfcathers pulled out of the fire by Granny. Speedy Gonzales and Road Runner were always too nearly in control of events, too nearly straightforward in their tactics, and as a result, neither heroic nor comic. (Sylvester and, even more, Wile E. Coyote, were tragic figures though only Wile E. had driven by necessity truly heroic stature.) Bugs was a. model in the comic tradition that stretches from Odysseus to Hawkeye and Trapper hipsters who the big, all-out John confrontation, essence against essence, who roll with the punches, who master the feint, the who survive to munch their dodge, the swindle carrots and chuckle at the blustering, driven self-assertion of their antagonists. Recall the classic episode in which Bugs artfully dodges the machinations of Wile E., given voice and genius for this cartoon, both of which he was fond of exhibiting. Ah, Bugs, you knew. Nonchalantly nibbling your carrot with a sardonic “What’s up. Doc,” flattering Doc’s pretension that he knew. You knew what was up, you’d never commit more to any fight than it was worth. - — - The columnist re-reads those lines with some shame, in Washington, while the columnist contemplates the existential significance of Bugs Bunny coming, he thinks, disturbingly close the greatest political drama in the history of the Republic proceeds on its generally undramatic way. Not that it lacks high theater. The Supreme Court, quietly compromising substantial differences, legitimizes our constitutional agony with stunning theatrics. The opinion was unanimous, without either concurrent opinion or dissent, read by a Chi?f Justice, appointed by the very President who is' instructed to obey the law. It is pot a ihoderateiy distinguished Minnesota lawyer, but The Law itself, decreeing that the President turn over the tapes. The tone js| solemn. - - - On these men and women and some others rests the nation. It’s enough to give the cynic back his sense of civic virtue. In all, though, it reinforces a disturbing insight of Gary Wills in The New York Review of Books. The scene is the funeral of the late Chief Justice Earl Warren, Nixon standing stonily as the first funeral orator celebrates Warren’s honor and decency. Standing in the transept, studying Nixon’s studied woodenness, the real enormity of our situation hits me. Nixon has made integrity itself a partisan issue! Any mention of honesty in his presence is an implied rebuke. At the end of the Civil War, America had a moment when it could have remade itself into a just, free society. Instead, the Robber Barons stole the country. They made it safe for American Capitalism, and set in motion the events that have brought us to where we are now. The American corporations set up the need for foreign empire, the hurtling into ideological wars that were none of our business, the licensing of the CIA, the creation of the United States as the devil image for most people of decency in most countries of the world. In the wake of the Nixon disaster (it should not be dignified with the word tragedy), we should all begin to raise our voices for decency and justice and freedom. The Second Reconstruction is immediately ahead of us. It can be ruined, as the first one was, by greed, believe Nixon’s number is up. The Judiciary Committee shall recommend impeachment with bipartisan support and the House Shall follow suit. Then the Uqiteit States Senate shall apply the coup de grace either ip Richard Nlxdn dr to : the nation. The columnist haS a soft spot for RicWrd Nixon, never feeling he was as bad as tie felt forced to become. The bfefuddiement in some of the transcripts is human, appealing. But fias he learned his lesson? Will an acquited Nikon be a chastened Nixon? The columnist does not know, but he fears what will happen if Nixpn gets off.. The vehement ugliness of Nixon’s supporters is frightening, more frightening even than Nixon. Bugs has it easier. Farmert*. hunters, predators all come and go.

They demand more. The iced tea loses its flayer. Jt'and Bugs, So there is a quality of ritual sacrifice to the use of what Arthur Schlesinger Jr. Calls “the blunt instrument” of impeachment against Richard Nixon. Most men go to the office of the Presidency and are made larger by it; Nixon went to that office and made the office smaller. He packed it with perjurers, bullies, informers, spies, and burglars; he provided some of the worst elements in Americd*with a license, and for almost five years they exercised that license wills, a thug’s glee. & But Nixon was not an aberration. In this nation is also impeaching Lyndon Johnson for Vietnam, John Kennedy for the Bay of Pigs, Harry Truman for Korea and Franklin Roosevelt for a number of actions that set up the Imperial Presidency. Tjiis is not a partisan act, despite the attempts of Ron Ziegler and some ofRhe other White House valets to portray it that way. In fact, the hardest partisans on the Judiciary Committee were Republicans like Sandman of New Jersey and Wiggins of California, who denied all the evidence because they were Republicans. There were six Republicans with sufficient decency and regard for America to see the evidence plain, and they should be applauded. But removing Nixon will not create a new America, unless the Americans work at it. Nixon cheated on his taxes, sacrificed all to the acquisition of property, played fast and loose with truth, played on every sentimental prejudice from God to school busing to acquire and hold power. He believed in capitalism, stopped antitrust suits, spent his free time with millionaires, worked with the oil and gas boys to drive up prices' and made a deal with the con men of the milk lobby to help them get richer. In short, he believed in limitless profit, limited competition, and the morality of winning. And the result was that he practically destroyed his country, leaving us in worse shape than we would have been after one hundred Pearl Harbors. His beliefs and his actions are connected. The mess we are in is because this country has grown sick with a lust for money. And now is the time to start working on the answers to the harder question. Do we want to go on t)»is way? Do we want a country made ravenous for things, while human considerations are placed aside? Do we really want Atlantic Richfield to declare a 104 per cent profit, when we can’t get a house built in Brownsville? Do we really want a country where Nelson Rockefeller lives on inherited wealth in a mini-Monaco like Pocantico, while older citizens are eating dog food? Do we really want a country where businessmen urge us to buy, eat, consume, possess to the exclusion of everything else? > ■■ ; • 2 August 1974 The . Inc. of the ■V' ' " ■. . Spectrum Page eleven . �Impeachment... month, the conclusion is inescapable: the House will vote to impeach President Nixon. Demand for specifics Behind the parliamentary maneuvers, the debate the Judiciary Committee revolved on a single in issue: what was the evidence? The anti-impeachment forces demanded specificity in the charges; the pro-impeachment members verbally recited evidence of abuses from transcripts and testimony. Mr. Nixon’s supporters, led by Reps. Wiggins, Sandman, Dennis and Lott, argued that the Democrats had a weak case and so were unwilling to shore it up by including specific names, dates and places in the articles of impeachment. The supporters of impeachment argued that all the supporting evidence for each allegation would be amplified in a committee report, which would be supplied to the House and to the President’s lawyers. Listing all the evidence in each charge would consume volumes, they asserted, and might unnecessarily limit evidence that they could introduce later. Some Republicans protested that the President was being denied due process by not being specifically notified of the charges against him. Other Democrats responded by noting that Presidential lawyer James St. Clair had been present throughout the committee’s deliberations and had every bit of evidence tn«t the committee had as well as some the panel didn’t have a reference to the tapes the President has withheld in violation of House subpeonas. — — Obstruction of justice On the first day of debate, the Democrats were placed on the defensive by repeated Republican demands for specificity; this has become the White House line as well, quickly echoed by Vice President Ford and others. But over the weekend, the pro-impeachment members responded with oral recitations of mounds of evidence and excerpts from Presidential transcripts to show that Mr. Nixon repeatedly obstructed justice by participating in the Watergate cover-up. The partisan squabbling went on: Republicans arguing that the evidence was circumstantial. Democrats noting that such data usually is in a criminal conspiracy and that corporate executives were in jail on one-tenth the evidence before the committee. But when the final vote came in, 27 of the 38 Congressmen-lawyers were persuaded that Mr. Nixon had intentionally obstructed justice in the Watergate investigation to protect himself and his aides. The President’s interference with the investigations by the FBI, misleading public statements, coaching of witnesses toward perjury, passing on of grand jury information to potential defendants, misuse of the CIA and withholding of evidence from the investigators were all cited in the first article of impeachment. Abusing the Presidency Advocates of impeachment had an easier time Monday citing evidence that Mr. Nixon had abused the powers of the Presidency because those abuses are better-documented and less sutble than those in a criminal conspiracy to obstruct justice. In approving the abuse-of-power article by a decisive 28-to-10, with the added Republican support of Rep. McClory, committee members cited reams of evidence regarding illegal wiretaps, burglaries and other covert activities by the plumbers, interference with the FBI, the attempt to influence the judge in the Ellsberg case, the approval of illegal surveillance of dissidents, and the political manipulation of the IRS. v It was not contested that Mr. Nixon approved 17 wiretaps on federal officials and newsmen. But certain Republicans argued that the President was motivated by a desire to plug leaks injurious to national security. If that was the original intent, — proponents of impeachment responded, the wiretaps remained long after it was clear that no security information was being obtained. Wiretapped columnist Joseph Kraft had no access to secrets; Morton Halperin’s tap remained after he became an advisor to 1972 candidate Sen. Edmund Muskie. Tapes show Mr. Nixon acknowledging that the FBI’s investigation of CBS newsman Daniel Schorr was certainly not because he was being considered for a government job, a cover story the President concocted for the probe. We haven’t used the FBI “except for that S.O.B. Schorr,” Mr. Nixon says. ‘He shall take care ..’ Nixon defenders similarly argued that the plumbers were created out of the same concern for national security. The President, they said, had no knowledge that this group had broken into Daniel Ellsberg’s psychiatrist’s office, forged cables to defame President Kennedy, dug up dirt on Sen. Edward Kennedy, broken into the Waterate and carried out other covert activities. But Mr. Nixon created the plumbers, and was responsible for the actions of the White House secret police force he approved, others contended. Mr. Nixon’s approval of the 1970 doemstic surveillance plan, later rescinded, was also cited as informing his aides of the President’s approval for illegal tactics. This plan made “dissent tentamount to treason,” said Rep. Elizabeth Holtzman of Brooklyn, by illegally using groups like the CIA against dissenters. Such burglaries, wiretaps and covert activities infringed the basic rights of Americans and brought this country to the brink of a police state, several asserted emotionally. The use of the IRS to selectively harass political enemies with tax audits was seized upon by many committee members as one offense which every American could easily grasp. When the debate ended, Article Two, which charged President Nixon with abusing his Presidential powers and failing to “take care that the laws be faithfully executed,” was passed by 28 of the 38 Congressmwn. Mr. Nixon’s refusal to obey committee subpoenas for evidence deciding for himself what evidence he would allow to be used against him in his own impeachment was placed in a third, separate, article of impeachment. . — — The Senate will decide If impeachment by the full House is now certain, what are the chances for Mr. Nixon’s conviction in the Senate, where a two-thirds majority is required? Congressional observers say the chances of 67 Senators voting to oust Mr. Nixon from office are improving daily. The Senate is a more liberal body than the House, and contains many more liberal Republicans, such as Senators Brooke, Percy, Hatfield, Javits, Case and Schweiker. Mr. Nixon hopes the hardline conservatives, both Republican and Southern Democrat, will give him the 34 votes he needs to retain his office. The White House hopes to delay the final Senate vote until after Election Day, when they feel Republicans will be under far less political pressure to impeach and can back the President of their own party, however unpopular. If delays should force the trial past January, however, the votes of many newly-elected Senators several who could be more liberal than the incumbants might be decisive. Another pivotal point: if Mr. Nixon sonewalls any Senate demands that he surrender evidence, that could tip the balance past the two-thirds majority required to oust Mr. Nixon from office. The failure to impeach Mr. Nixon, many have said, would condone the sad standard of conduct that has been evidenced by his White House. It now appears certain that this standard of conduct will be placed on trial before the'Senate, acting on behalf of the nation, to determine if it warrants removing Richard Nixon from the Presidency.

Intramural —continued from page 1— without funding, but to start with a deficit would have been more than we would be capable of.” Since it began publishing six years ago, Ethos has confronted both ups and downs at budgeting time. Just last summer, Sub-Board allocated funds for the establishment of a separate-production room, allowing Ethos to do its own layout and composition (which previously had been handled by University Press). Lester Goldstein, assistant to Sub-Board’s Executive Director, was instrumental in drawing up the outline. He termed the decision not to fund the publications “agonizing” but explained that it was necessitated by ‘Sub-Board I s current financial state” which prohibited it from duplicating services. “While every publication is unique, funding all of the publications in this year youwl divert funds from other essential, unique and unparallelled programs and services,” Mr, Goldstein added. The other publications recommended for zero-funding were Women's Voices, ARI Collective Spirits, and The Buffalo Veterans Newsletter. Sub-Board, while previously supplying funds to some groups for production costs, was not the publisher of these magazines. The Spectrum's recommended budget was slightly higher than last year’s, but nearly $20,000 less than requested. The Day Care Center was not recommended for funding because the Student governments failed to commit money for its operation as they had in the past. Mr. Fisher said he was never warned of the impending recommendation, and will now be forced to seek out alternative sources of income. The search has thus far been unsuccessful, but he is confident that operating cutbacks, advertising revenue, and perhaps a small subsidy from Sub-Board will pernpt the magazine to continue at the reduced level of a bi-weekly. softball results As summer intramurals draw closer and closer toward playoff time, tight battles loom large for the fifth and final playoff spot in both the American (Monday-Wednesday) league and the National (Tuesday and Thursday) league.

With this in mind, Richardson has attempted to inject a little speed into the line-up. “We should be a little quicker and more experienced,” assessed Richardson. The second year Bull coach brings back seven lettermen, led by juniors Otis Home (15.0 pts. and 7.8 rebounds per game) and Gary Domzalski (10.0 pts. and 5.1 assists). • Haircuts Underground x § JUST BACK FROM INTRODUCING THE U I — Henderson, with Horne and Baker both possibilities for backcourt roles.

Since water is an environment quite unnatural to man’s physiological make up, it is important to adjust gradually to the conditions. The greatest cause of drowning is fatigue and fatigue results when the body runs out of its anaerobic power. A rapid swim, even for a short distance, before the body is properly adjusted, could cause a person to use up his supply of anaerobic power. If that swim was to a raft and the swimmer decided to return to shore without resting, he might not make it. Another very dangerous practice, which should be avoided by even the best swimmers, is hyperventilation the process of taking several deep breaths to increase one’s capacity to stay under water longer. The human cardio-pulmonary system contains a balance of carbon dioxide and oxygen. Hyperventilation decreases the level of carbon dioxide in the blood without changing the oxygen level, thus offsetting the balance. The respiratory system is sensitive only to carbon dioxide as a stimulus for breathing and without the proper amount of carbon dioxide, the stimulus is reduced or eliminated. Therefore, the swimmer could go for long periods of time under water without breathing and deplete the oxygen in his blood.

Basketball “Quicker, more experienced” A new look The summer issue of Ethos reflected a shift in editorial policy, moving the magazine away from news-oriented reporting and closer to a format of creative essays, reviews of the arts, poetry, and feature writing. This was done to avoid duplicating coverage of day-to-day campus and local events and to provide a new forum for all members of the University community interested in contributing to a literary magazine. A recently initiated policy of publishing unsolicited articles has been a great success. (Over half of this week’s issue is unsolicited and from new contributors). This differs from previous policy, which relied on assigned stories and demanded editorial supervision. Ethos currently provides the only steady forum for articles from students, faculty, and employees who do not wish to join a publication staff. The new format is designed to operate in conjunction with an advanced composition course offered this fall by the English Department. It will cover the various styles of criticism and their effects on the reading public. Material submitted for the course will be considered for Ethos publication, giving students a chance to see their work in print. of Carnivore (5-2), while PT Jokers and Campus Police linger at 5-3.

Consequently, a life guard would not realize that the swimmer is in trouble until it is too late.” As a general rule, Dr. Pendergast feels the safest practice is for each individual to understand his capabilities in the water and stay within the limits of those capabilities. “Swim at a speed and for a distance that is comfortable.” As for the competitive swimmers, continuous practice and training will increase levels of both aerobic and anaerobic power for the female and overall proficiency through improved technical movement for the male.

Garbed in protective clothing against both the dust and danger of the track, cyclists from across the country (many of them in their early teens) pit their skill and machines in what has come to be the Indy 500 of the two-wheel set. Each race, or moto as it is called, consists of 45 minutes with the winner receiving one point, second place two and so forth down the line. The motos begin in a chute which leads into the first turn. Thirty or more cycles arrive simultaneously at the turn, which can hand' only two safely at a time, yet all seem to leave the dust cloud that forms, oblivious to the miracle that has occured and ready for the next hazard. And of these there are many, ranging from mud baths that can leave the cycles submerged to the gas tank to ■ Page fourteen The Spectrum Friday, 2 August 1974 . . seeming mountains that take half an hour and two rest stops just to walk up. While all but the two or three leaders in each race spend most of their time driving virtually blind in the dust clouds, injuries seem almost non-existent. Those that do occur don’t seem to deter the contestants. Walking around the track, at least a dozen casts on arms and legs are visible, but the only real pain seems to be in not being able to race. The 125 cc world championship races held last Sunday attracted a season record 5,000-plus people. Motos are generally run every Sunday, alternating between Zoar Valley and Bluemont, starting at noon and running until 7:00 p.m. or later. Each week, two races each in four classes (sizes) of motorcycles, are held. Both tracks are about an hour’s drive south of Buffalo, off Route 219 (ask directions in the area of Springville) and admission is $3.00.

Merton W. Ertell, an associate chancellor for special projects at State University of New York (SUNY) central headquarters in Albany, will assume the vacated post until a new Academic Affairs vice-president is appointed. Dr. Ertell was a member of the State University at Buffalo faculty His actions prompted former from 1946—69, and has served as Student Association (SA) Dean of University College, President Jon Dandes to file a assistant vice-president for class action grievance on behalf of educational affairs, and director the 200 students affected by the cancellation. Mr. Dandes also of institutional research. These and other remarks like “every list has a top and a bottom and something has to be at the bottom of every list,” aroused fears that the budgets* of lower ranked departments would be slashed and led many faculty to believe that as the school’s top academic official. Dr. Gelbaum had demonstrated a disturbing inability to communicate with them. During the past three years, Dr. Gelbaum frequently alienated members of the Collegiate System. In March, 1973, he Dr. Gelbaum’s resignation had been anticipated by some segments of the University. During the past few months, there had been scattered speculation that President Robert Ketter few would be making a administrative changes as soon as he was officially appointed for another five year term; In his self-evaluation that was circulated in May, Dr. Ketter had stated that while “the assembling of a functioning administrative team was adequately handled under initial circumstances we are now at a point where continued improvements in personnel and structure can and will be made.” B instructor, without explaining that year, Dr. why. Later Gelbaum came under fire from both faculty and students for allowing College D to secede from the Collegiate Assembly . By giving this allegedly “straight” college access to direct funding, many felt he had violated the by-laws of the Faculty-Senate, which give it the authority to establish or dismantle academic units.

Gelbaum told The Spectrum that “indirect influences” had played no part in his decision to resign. In a letter of resignation dated July 15, he wrote Dr. Ketter that “on a number of occasions and in a variety of contexts, 1 have stressed the view that a university has a deep obligation and an unparalleled opportunity to serve the community through teaching and research. At this junction,” the letter stated, “a number of programs and projects onsonant However, Dr. requested removed that Dr. Gelbaum be as Academic Affairs vice-president, in a letter to Dr. Ketter, An editorial appearing in the January 25 issue of The Spectrum also recommended that Dr. Gelbaum be replaced, stressing that “any real progress or communication between students and the Administration remains impossible with Dr. Gelbaum in his present post.” Dr. Ketter subsequently reinstated several of the courses, and ordered a review of the cancelled courses by the three University-wide Deans. Prior success Ironically, Dr. Gelbaum’s appointment in June, 1971 had been hailed by students, faculty and administrators. In several years as an administrator at the University of California at Irvine, he had earned a reputation for being “an articulate promoter of University of Higher the Education,” and “a champion of student needs.” While at Irvine, he had reportedly set in motion policies allowing students to serve on review committees for appointment, promotion and termination of faculty. “We really “terminated” Jonathan Ketqham, a well-liked and innovative College Collegiate System.

But only a year later, in the fall of 1972, Dr. Gelbaum was heavily criticized by faculty and students for drafting an Academic Plan for the University with little input from faculty and no input from students, who he said would be “consulted” before the plan was put into effect. Claiming that he had “consulted every single provost and dean,” Dr. Gelbaum recommended that mathematics, social, physical and natural sciences be given priority over the arts and certain humanities, which he felt were “food for the mind . . . a luxury rather than a necessity.” departments, which was an of his .intellectual poverty,” Dr. Hochfipld claimed. indication No rapport He also criticized Dr. Gelbaum for an inability to communicate with faculty. ‘The Academic VP should understand the problems of education,” Dr. Hochfield stressed. “He had ho educational ideas, no rapport with the faculty.” Dispelling rumors that Dr. Gelbaum had been pressured to resign.

Since the passage of that historical law, several other states have tried to adopt similar measures. The California Senate Select called for the repeal of “federal, and local laws punishing Committee on the Control of state possession Marijuana recently recommended that all criminal penalties for the private use and possession of grass be dropped. The committee found that the drug’s effect on the individual marijuana user did not justify making such use a crime. “Even assuming marijuana has some undesirable or harmful at attempts properties, prohibition through utilization of the criminal law are not a proper approach,” the committee said in a report to the California State Legislature. The Select Committee charged the state does not have the right to ‘'invade the privacy of one’s home” in order to arrest suspected marijuana users. Pot arrests, according to the committee, cost California $100 million annually, comprising 22% of all adult felony arrests. Gordon Brownell, the West Coast coordinator for the National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws the report (NORML), said “provides a firm foundation for personal use or simple of marijuana.” Illinois joins several other state bar associations (Alaska, California, Massachusetts, Minnesota, New York and Vermont) which have recommended marijuana decriminalization. Varying opinions of the controversy impeding the willingness of state legislators to the present laws stems from the varying opinions within the medical profession about the possibility of adverse physical and mental effects from Some prolonged marijuana use. “Some researchers are drawing conclusions about the harm from marijuana which far exceed the data presently available and, in some cases, the researchers themselves appear to have set out with a preconceived notion,” claimed Thomas E. Bryant, President of the Federal Abuse Council. “The result has been a series of reports,” said Dr. Bryant, “some of which resemble propaganda more than scientific research.” responsible legislative change.” He termed the study “forceful and 'Each year, the Department of persuasive,” urging the legislature Health, Education and Welfare (HEW) submits a report to to “take positive and prompt action to implement the recommendations of the Select Committee.” Other states act The trend started by Oregon has had an effect throughout the nation. In that state, those arrested for possession of marijuana are now subject to a civil fine of S2S which is no more serious than a jay-walking violation. A NORML spokesman said the law is working and that both legislators and police authorities are pleased with its success. “There was a fear that a lot of ‘hippies’ would move to Oregon,” he said, “but that hasn’t happened.” The New Jersey Narcotic Enforcement Officers Association has urged that possession of minimal amounts of marijuana be treated as a “legal nuisance” punishable by fine m only. The narcotics officers explained they were “absolutely and unalterably opposed to the use of marijuana” but felt the cost to the public and the waste of energy and ability “further impede the effective administration of justice.” A report published by the Illinois State Bar Association The Spectrum is published Monday, Wednesday and Friday during the academic year and on Friday only during the summer months by The Spectrum Student Periodical Inc. located at 355 Norton Offices Hell, State University of N.Y. at Buffalo, 3435 Main St..

Significant findings from these individual reports are often Congress medical suggest that light or occasional use of cannabis has serious deleterious effects.” Those who smoke an average of seven cigarettes a day, concluded, would the report probably not experience any brain damage. According to Dr. Bryant, some doctors draw conclusions without any scientific data whatsoever to support their allegations. David Powelson, a researcher at the of California at University Berkeley, claims that marijuana “is the most dangerous drug we must contend with . . . (it) leads to a deterioration of body and functioning which is mental difficult and perhaps impossible to reverse.” While acknowledging that Dr. Powelson “certainly has a right to his opinions,” Dr. Bryant felt they “should not be confused with medical research.” Women banned Linda Lovelace—for men only by Charles Blaise Spectrum Staff Writer — — halo Zoccolillo has his hands full Mr. Zoccolillo took over the management of Main Street’s famed Granada theater just a few weeks ago after the Buffalo Solaticious Literature Squad had pulled a hat trick by busting the Granada's previous manager and confiscating its double bill of Deep Throat and The Devil in Miss Jones. Deep Throat returned but in its edited version. Mr. Zoccoiillo claims he received 10 to IS calls a day from irate neighborhood women who expressed investigated by HEW. Because of what Dr. Bryant termed “inadequate controls” on their research, startling claims made by individual researchers are often later disproved. Many times, however, the public is left with the impression from the original findings. New links Chromosone damage, normally attributed to the use of LSD, has been linked to marijuana by Dr. Morton Stenchever of the University of Utah. “Persons using marijuana on any regular basis take the chance of having abnormal offspring or developing forms of cancer,” Dr. Stenchever stated. Hardin Jones, a professor at the University of California at Berkeley, concurred with Dr. Stenchever’s findings, adding that chromosone damage “is roughly the same type and degree of damage as in persons surviving atom bombing with a heavy level of radiation exposure.” The third annual HEW report to Congress disputes these findings, claiming there is very little evidence that such abnormalities can develop from the use of marijuana. Further damage? Robert G. Heath of Tulane University has charged that marijuana causes brain damage. His finding was based on experiments with rhesus monkeys who were given marijuana dosages of 20 to 240 cigarettes a day. Noting that this dosage was extraordinarily high, the HEW report summarized: “There continues to be little evidence to p.m., but when zero hour rolled around, only one stood outside the individual Mr. Zoccolillo theater in the flesh. Mr. Zoccolillo had anticipated trouble but seemed amused at the prospect of an organized rally in front of his theater. “I’m just trying to keep the community as calm and quiet as possible,” he said. He told me about the phone calls he had received, “10 to 15, it could have been more,” and I believed him. Sort of. displeasure at Ms. Linda Lovelace and her seemingly unorthodox activities. After nearly a week of phone calls (phoned anonymously, no less), Mr. Zoccolillo acted decisively, if not hastily. Women banned The Granada’s new policy is that women are not permitted to view any showing of “Deep Throat” at any time. Mr. Zoccolillo’s problems did not end there, obviously. The New York Civil Liberties Union is now seeking an injunction barring Mr. Zoccolillo from excluding any class of adults. A few days after Mr. Zoccolillo’s controversial edict was made public, I heard about a rally being planned by women protesting the Granada’s “Men Only” policy. The rally was to begin promptly at 8 — Freudian slip He interrupted my questioning with a thought “Do you know what Sigmund Freud said on his deathbed.” “Excuse me, sir.” “Do you know what Sigmund Freud said on his deathbed?” “No, I don’t.” “Well then, I’ll tell you. Sigmund Freud, on his deathbed, mind you, said What in heaven’s name do women want? What in heaven's name do they want?!! Personally, I had never given it a thought. I doubt Mr. Zoccolillo knew either. But his shouting had attracted a group of women lingering around the theater, who were perhaps waiting for the rally to begin. For the next hour, I scribbled notes and listened. I did not have to ask another question. Mr. Zoccolillo told the women exactly what he had told me, including the Sigmund Freud joke. They were not amused. Next, he tried a story geared toward their em pathetic senses. “I had a theater in Paduka, Kentucky where I’ve never been hassled so much. They had a lady mayor there who busted my theater four times in three years ...” Seeing that he was not getting the desired response, Mr. Zoccolillo rolled his eyes and muttered, “What do they want from me?” ; Bang, bang More questions were fired by the women at machine gun speed. Mr. Zoccolillo side-stepped each one rather nicely but was running out of sidewalk. “Are you allowing women to decide the morality of other women?” “The women forced me to do it.” “How can you think all women could be easily pushed around?” “I would rather face a man or an animal.” “Will you consider taking down the ‘No Women’ sign?” “I’ll think about it very seriously.” By this time, Mr. Zoccolillo was exasperated. He could not wait any longer to pull out his trump card. “Please ladies, I’ve been arrested for people’s rights. Allow me a weak moment, allow me a breather!” ... —continued on pae* 4 — Friday, 26 July 1974 The Spectrum Page three . . �Federal employees fired for critical comments WASHINGTON (LNS) The federal government can fire employees for criticizing their superiors and making other public comments harmful to government “efficiency.” A 6-3 Supreme Court ruling handed down this spring upheld a federal statute that allows government workers to be dismissed “for such cause as will promote the efficiency of the service.” And by a 5-4 margin, the court held that “due process” did not require a trial-type hearing before the government fired a worker under this law. The two rulings will affect all permanent federal employees nearly the entire federal work force. Public workers at lower levels could also be affected because many states and cities have modeled their civil services laws on the federal - — statute. The cast originated with Wayne Kennedy, a field representative ■ with the Office of Economic Opportunity in Chicago. He was fired in March, 1972 after he had charged, without proof, that his immediate superiors had offered a $100,000 bribe to a community action organization. Face his accusers After a move by his boss to dismiss him, Kennedy demanded a trial-type hearing with an opportunity to cross examine his accusers. When this was refused he went to court. A three-judge federal court in Illinois ruled for Kennedy, stating that the statute was so vague and overbroad that federal workers “can only guess as to what utterances may cost them their jobs.” But the Supreme Court overturned the lower tourt’s ruling, stating that the law did not inhibit free speech, with Justice Rehnquist asserting that “it proscribes only that public speech which improperly damages and impairs the reputation and efficiency of the employing agency.” He added that although it would be “impractical" to make the law more specific, it “efficiency of the service” standard had been left so vague that “even truthful criticism of an agency that in any way tends to disrupt its operation” could justify firings.

Between 1959 and 1972, beverage consumption in the U.S. rose 33%. The number of bottles and cans discarded however rose 262%, from 15.4 billion in 1959 to 55.7 billion in 1972. — beverage And if the can, bottle and man ufamxturers have their way, discarded containers will only increase in the future, system would encourage the use of standard bottles that can be returned anywhere, making the littering the country and squandering invaluable natural returning job easier. In addition, the federal law would ban pull-tab openers, which would effectively eliminate resources. The battle over the “non-returnables” (or “convenience packaging” as it is called in the industry) is currently raging at both the state and federal levels with environmentalists and industry pitted against each other. Industry has taken the threat of a ban on non-returnables American Can, a of such quite seriously. leading opponent legislation, says that containers represent $450 million worth of the company’s total sales of $2.5 a sizable chunk. billion a year The brewery industry alone has spent a minimum of $20 million annually to defeat state and federal attempts at a “bottle law.” beverage - Currently only two states — have laws Oregon and Vermont banning non-returnable bottles, but a federal bill is now before the Senate Subcommittee on the Environment. — standard beer and soft drink cans altogether. How has the non-returnable bottle ban worked in Oregon? “To state the outcome simply, it’s working,” says Don Waggoner of the Oregon Environmental Council. “Litter has been reduced drastically. Consumers are saving money and Oregonians are pleased and proud of the results.” But the industry which operates a powerful lobby in Congress, shudders at the very thought of these plans, and doesn’t hesitate to threaten, coerce and pay-off to get its own way. First, opponents drag out the old Keep America Beautiful saying “People Start Pollution . . People Can Stop It.” Or as the chairman of the New York Seven-Up Bottling Company, Sidney Mudd, put it, “Litter is a mandatory deposit all soft bottles to of reusable on drink and beer encourage the use containers.

Remarked Senator Mark Hatfield of Oregon and a sponsor of the bill recently: “A laundry list exists where blind obedience to technology has created a host of problems. The beverage container area provides the chance to reject this throwaway ethic spawned by the idolatry of technology.” “Environmentalists and citizens who have been involved in local recycling efforts know that source reduction, reducing the amount of solid waste generated, is the cheapest, th? fastest and the most ecological means of attacking the problem,” says Pat Taylor of Environmental Action, a public interest group in Washington. left'.' The soft 'jdriijk bottling' industry is the same. Ini 1947 definite problem of society unnecessary product carelessness.” ... an of human Recovery systems To combat this “carelessness,” the industry proposes the passage of statewide anti-litter laws, increased public education (Keep America Beautiful has set up a program to examine “attitudes that lead to littering”) and the installation of "resource recovery systems” in major U.S. cities. William May, chairman of the American Can Company claims Consumer demands industry The container maintains that the non-returnables were developed in response to “consumer demands,” and to eliminate them is to eliminate “free trade” and “freedom of choice in the marketplace.” However, opponents feel the primary motivation for the introduction of the non-returnable was higher profits. The rise of the throwaway "provided the medium through which monopolization of the soft industry could drink be achieved.” said Peter Chokola, owner of a small bottling company in Wilkes-Barre, Pa. In AFL-CIO, has allied itself with industry in dead opposition to the bill. B • ; « £ Vri s’ e ‘ e of that most crucial. returnable/refillables are Loss of jobs Ingredients in a account for only “ . economically.” It is true that a ban on non-returnables would mean that some workers would loose their jobs. But other jobs would be created by reinstituting a returnable bottle system. In fact, the beverage industry through monopolization and the shutting down of many small bottlers has done more than its share of laying off workers precisely because of the non-return system. And increased automation in still existing plants has also cost many workers their jobs.

A returnable deposit bottle system “imposes a natural limitation on the market area served by any bottling company,” Chokola explains, the limitation being the distance a delivery truck can carry filled bottles and return empties. “Thousands of small and medium hometown bottling plants were therefore necessary to market beverages.” But the big bottlers began to recognize the benfits inherent in a system in which products could be shipped out without any need to return empties. They then proceeded to swallow up the smaller bottlers or force them to close down altogether. The industry’s secondline of defense against the bottle bills, far more threatening than any ideological justification, is simply to shut down. As one Seven-Up executive put it; . . if the bill [is] enacted, industries would shut down, thousands would be out of work and the city (New York in this case] would suffer . • Mandatory deposits Modeled after the Oregon law, the proposed federal bill sets a ■y- 1950, there were 407 breweries in the U.S., but by 1966, there were only 115 and today only 64 are Presently, if a state moves to pass a bottle bill, industry can threaten to move to another state to escape the law, but with a national law there’s no escaping. Industry is also quick to claim that the cost of beverages will go up if a bottle bill is passed. According to a recent study by Beverage Industry magazine, a thousand non-returnable twelve bottles cost $42.33 compared with $83.42 for the same size returnable. But, ounce soft drink actually cheaper for consumers for several reasons.

The president of Coca Cola USA, Lucian Smith, testified before the Senate that “Coke sold in food stores in non-returnable packages is priced, on the average, 30 to 40% higher than Coca Cola in returnable bottles. The difference lies essentially in the different costs of packaging.” In addition, returnables are far less of a strain on natural resources. John Quarles of the Environmental Protection Agency says that the making of non-returnables now consumes between 1 and 2% of the energy —continued on page IQ— What's so special about Tech Hifi ?

Dr. Gelbaum's exclusionary academic plan, his support for the five-course load, his self-appointment last October as director of the Colleges, and his mechanical cancellation of 16 College E courses all succeeded in alienating just about every segment of the University. And worst of all, they helped sink this institution into an academic quagmire that is far cry from the days when education here was characterized by a spirit of inquiry and genuine experimentation. The departure of many liberal faculty during the past five years, the general feeling of unexcitement, and a corporation-like atmosphere all attest to the fact that this university has in many ways become a degree-granting factory. Dr. Gelbaum's resignation provides President Ketter with an unparalled opportunity to appoint a forward-looking, concerned, innovative individual who can reverse this near-fatal trend toward total academic stagnation. Because students ultimately bear the brunt of the University's academic policies,' it is imperative that Dr. Ketter make certain they have a loud voice in appointing the new Academic vice-president. Students must be willing to go all-out to ensure that the new Academic VP is not chosen simply because he is less controversial than Or. Gelbaum was, since such an appointee might still share Gelbaum's educational beliefs. This institution at a time of grave academic crisis can Jll-afford to spend another year twiddling its thumbs while innovative education is going down the drain. I find Pete Hamill’s column in the July 19 issue of The Spectrum repulsive. The idea he put forth concerning bombing Turkey is totally absurd and shows that he has a remedial understanding of the heroin problem in the U.S. and its solutions. The ideology we have of bombing first and looking at the problem later has desecrated the word “peace” and destroyed the world’s respect for us. We have not the — Ignoring the evidence It is now a foregone conclusion that the House Judiciary Committee will have at least enough bi-partisan support to ensure President Nixon's impeachment by the full House of Representatives. But unless the remaining committee Republicans can be moved by the overwhelming evidence against Mr. Nixon within the next few days, his acquittal by the Senate will be virtually assured. It is an utter mockery how anyone lawyer, layman or politician can fail to be swayed by Nixon's barrage of criminal acts simply because of their party affiliation. Simply stated, the Presidential transcripts explicitly show show that Nixon ordered the payment of hush money for Watergate defendants. He is clearly guilty of bribery, one of the impeachable crimes listed in the Constitution. It defies reason how committee members can spend hours studying phrases like "For Christ's sake, get it," or "We've got to cut that off," or "I want you to stonewall it," and then say on nationwide TV with straight faces that Mr. Nixon has been working day and night to "get to the bottom" of Watergate, and never ordered any illegal — — payments. Although there is more than ample evidence that Nixon violated the law on numerous other occasions in the milk case, by approaching the judge in the Ellsberg trial, and by approving an extensive network of political spying and sabotage, which including wiretaps despite all this, the Republicans simply cannot get down on their President. It's enough to make us rejoice that there is such a thing as partisanship; if party loyalties were not at issue and committee members were still unimpressed by the evidence, our goverment would be even more of a spectacle than it — — already is. If by some chance Richard Nixon's systematic degradation of law and common decency is rebuked and he is convicted by the Senate, American democracy will not be greatly improved; nor will the aura of cynicism that seems to have penetrated our lives be at an end. But from a simple, philosophical standpoint, it will mean that a person who tampered with the lives of millions of people, violating their trust again and again, will receive his "just due." For the moment, this will have to suffice. Page six The Spectrum Friday, 26 July 1974 . . & Thank You. William S. Frels Impeachment a — right to destroy a country and its economy because cannot face the problem we have created ourselves by the supression of heroin distribution. The Consumers Union Report “Licit Illicit Drugs” by Brecher gives, I feel, a good realistic look at the U.S.’s drug problems, the causes and viable solutions. I suggest Pete Hamill read it to get a healthier perspective on the heroin problem in the U.S. we ... It just may not be enough by Michael O’Neill It has been six years since Richard Nixon occupied the White House. And don’t be confused; it has been an occupation, not merely a sojourn. The extensive steps taken to protect the President from damaging leaks of information which he arbitrarily ruled secret, and. the impression of an unwillingness to depart under any circumstances are ample proof. The Watergate scandal is the scandal of the Nixon administration; history will bind the two together forever. But the problems posed by such a scandal go far deeper than any one man or administration. The case against Mr. Nixon-remains valid, despite the fact that those who will pass judgment on him are not above suspicion for similar transgressions. The legal process being used against the White House can be considered just; but it smack of hypocrisy when you realise many of the Congressmen who will listen to the data on illegal contributions from ITT and the Dairy Industry were themselves recipients of similar payoffs. The executive branch’s scandals are fast becoming public knowledge. Those of the Congress and judiciary remain concealed, yet the public is led to believe that every minor instance of corruption uncovered is part of a resurgence of ethics in government. The government as Mr. Nixon claims function on a regular basis while impeachment is the number one issue. It cannot attend the everyday affairs of running a country while throwing all of its efforts (and it may prove to be inadequate) into purging the leader. Who is to deal with the problem of inflation when economic advisors and administrators are doubted merely because they are Nixon appointees? The annual 12% inflation that eats away every worker’s income will never be arrested while the legality of those ordained to deal with it is being seriously questioned. When a government goes awry, it goes all the way.. Foreign policy once offered the hope of salvation for a disastrous domestic policy. Now it is in a state of confusion. Cyprus, the Middle East, Northern Ireland, the threat of nuclear proliferation, and the well-publicized but poorly-implemented detente with the Soviet Union and China are; only a few on the long list of problems that the State Department has failed to deal with effectively. cannot — - Our primary contact with each foreign problem is the diplomatic corps. Their job is to relay information back to Washington, while establishing working arrangements with local leaders and serving as peacemakers in accordance with the Nixon administration’s stated aims But how well can these men perform their tasks when the backroom deals, payoffs and outright bribes which bought many of their, positions are public knowledge. The State Department’s reputation is damaged both at home and abroad by each new slight to its integrity. It is hurt even more by Secretary Kissinger’s unexculpated participation in the bugging of his own staff. Our system of justice is working, many claim. But none are quite certain whether it is because of Mr. Nixon or in spite of him. It is justice when a chief executive indicates he is willing to abide only by a “definitive”, high court ruling and then refuses to say even that much when it appears the ruling will be unfavorable to him? How can anyone believe the President wants justice rendered when he withholds evidence from the House Judiciary Committee but latir produces it in an adulterated form for his own defense. The timid House of Representatives permits itself to be degraded as “partisan,” never.thinking to reply that it was a partisan system that built this country and built the heritage of honor that is now being impugned. \ The failure to cooperate with investigators is unforgivable for a man charged with executing the laws of the land. Yet, those whom he hinders hesitate to call it an obstruction of justice. The House Judiciary Committee is certainly not above reproach. They, as much as the President, are on trial before the American people. A failure to vindicate themselves assures the continuation of a morally debased government. The elected officials must end the corruption they have tolerated for years. It is.the supreme challenge, but also the signing of .their own death warrant. For if the cleansing process is complete, it cannot overlook those who tolerated corruption for so long. And if it is not, the guise of honesty will no longer be there to cloak their indiscretions. They may not be politically dead, but their moral decadence wilt serve as passage across the river Stynx. • �Outside Looking In by Clem Colucci continued from last week Benjamin Franklin was far too worldly to be upset. 1 was hardly surprised; any schoolboy knew that despite George Washington, Benjamin Franklin had a more literal claim to the .title “Father of his Country.” And as a typically cosmopolitan 18th century rationalist, he had performed similar service with equal enthusiasm-in England and France. “What may I do for you, young man?” he asked cheerily. I sat down in the fake Chippendale and looked Dr. Franklin over. He was a stout, substantial looking man with a high forehead, two chins, a long nose, spectacles and a receeding hairline. His left foot was heavily bandaged bicause of an attack of gout. It must have in the way and I gotten admired his determined lechery. “My name is Marlowe Spade,” I said, “I’m a private detective.” “Fascinating,” murmured Franklin, who was now sitting up in the bed tinkering with the alarm clock. men of “I’ve been engaged by my clients considerable means representing a large group of people to find something.” they choose to keep anonymous “What?” Franklin asked, sticking a screwdriver - - into the clockworks. “The United States of America “They have,” I said. “I was hoping they Could. 1 was asked to join them I’m an old man now and I have other interests.” - Clara blushed. “Can you help me find it?” 1 asked. “Yes, I can,” he replied. He went to the telephone, dialed, spoke into it softly and hung up. “Marvelous government by the people. There were people who would go a long way to stop this sort of thing. I wanted to thank Paine, but he’d passed out. I left quietly. They were waiting for me when I got to'tny office except for Hamilton, they’d gotten to him. A fellow named Burr had been picked up on a homicide rap in squeaking. Tom Paine was a disagreeable looking man with a - big nose and a bigger hangover. He sat in a broken swivel chair in a cluttered, poorly-lit den with papers strewn all over, several books propped open and an “Impeach the Cox Sacker” sticker on his disorderly file cabinet. I handed him an ice pack and a cup of black coffee. He sipped the coffee, put the ice pack on his Jersey “Well,” said Adams, “1 hope you have some results.” “I do,” I announced. “I know where the United States is.” You could have heard the cockroaches walking around in the vacant office above us. “Where is it?” Jefferson asked. “Right here,” I said spreading my arms. “What are you talking about?” Madison shouted. Sally Hemmings edged her hand toward the gun in her shoulder bag. “It’s been right here under our noses all the time,” 1 handed Jefferson the packet. “Nobody’s stolen it. It simply fell into disuse and it’s hard to recognize now. Years of apathy, cynicism, laziness, poor leadership, poorer followers, people willing to forget the rules to get their way have distorted it.” slowly. head and leaned back “I was wrong,” he said, “these _re the times that try men’s souls.” He leafed through some sheets of yellow legal sized paper covered with an illegible scrawl and threw half of them at, not in, the wastebasket. He missed. ‘•'So you’re looking for the United States, eh?” His eyes bored into me. “The Tories.” “What?” “The Tories,” he repeated, “the goddamned Toriies. They’ve taken over, twisted the revolution, distorted it, perverted it. They got to most of us. Robert and Gouvernor Morris Sam Adams they got to James Otis early Ellsworth, Pinckney, Jay, Gerry, even” his voice shook “even General Washington,” He started to cry. “We’re the only ones left.” He wiped his eyes. “Nobody bothers Tom Paine. No, they think I’m a harmless crank. But I’ve fooled them all. I know where the United States is. I’ve known all the time.” You could’ve knocked me over with a copy of Bobby Breen's latest hits I've already used that line, haven’t I? Paine dug through the mess on his desk down to an autographed picture of George McGovern. "We'll show them yet, George," he said. Under the picture was a thin package of papers. He handed them to me. On top was a copy of the Constitution. I began to read. This was heavy stuff freedom of speech, press, assembly and religion, checks and balances, - — Jefferson was reading - - RRRRING! Franklin juggled the clock frantically and finally shut it off. I’d struck a nerve. “Damned clock,” he muttered. His eyes grew misty, his voice quavered. “The United States, you say? Tom and his boys have done it, then?” but device, the telephone. 1 should have invented it.” He gave me a name and address. I thanked him and left. Before I got into the hall I heard the bedsprings intently. “It’s all there,” I said. “All you have to do is follow the directions.” “Thank you, Mr. Spade,” Jefferson said. They walked out quietly. Sally Hemmings stayed behind for a second. “I’ve been wondering, Sally, what group you represent.” As she Walked out the door, she turned her head and answered: “The American people.” “Well,” I said, “if you can get them together on this you might get things back on the right track in time for the bicentennial.” After she left, 1 never saw them again. A weird bunch but I didn’t mind working for them they paid their bill. — - - - The Pete Hamill Column by Pete Hamill The New York Post Corp. Last week, representatives of the Turkish government offered me an all-expense-paid trip to Turkey. There I could meet the noble arid oppressed poppy farmers of Anatolia, and learn from them why they must remain in the murder business. 1 turned the deal down, of course, because they would only be paying for the trip with American money, either part of the $15 million bribe Richard Nixon paid the Turks to try and get them out of the heroin business, or with part of the billions in foreign aid we have paid the Turks over the years to keep them from having any truck with the dirty, Godless, murderin’ Commies. Most important, I didn’t accept because I really don’t care about the problems of the peasants of Anatolia. To hell with them. I care about New Yorkers. And the decision by the “liberal” new Turkish government to resume full growing of the poppies is going to kill a lot of New Yorkers. It will cause beatings and robberies and homicides. Children who are now in grade .school will end up with Turkish heroin in their veins before they are IS. Kids playing ball in summer fields will end up scratching and filthy, sleeping on rooftops, scoring from degenerates, ‘ ? ready to kill their mothers for a shot of the dope that comes from Turkey via Marseilles. Anatolian peasants can grow something else, or they can starve. But if they insist on killing us, we should be prepared to kill their fields and their homes. So instead of trying to con reporters with trips to the poppy fields, it might be a good idea for New York to invite some of the Turks here, to live with the death and misery they give us. � � � Let Prime Minister Eclivit of Turkey send his kids to Bed-Stuy or the South Bronx for two weeks. Give them what an average New York slum kid gets to spend in a week. Let him live the thoroughly undefended life of a street kid. Let him see how long it is before the kids start jamming horse on the rooftops and in hallways. Let his wife try to raise those kids on a welfare budget. Let her live in a welfare hotel, or scrounge with the rats and cockroaches in one of the great palaces that house human beings in the city. Then have heroin around: See how long it is before someone tries to kill her in a hallway for the pitiful remains of a welfare check, after food is bought for the children. See what happens when she finds out a junkie daughter is turning tricks to support her habit. Let the Prime Minister hang around Bellvue. and watch the OD cases come in, kids with works jammed in their arms, boys who were never young, kids riding the white horse, others who bought hot shots from other junkies. Let him walk through park where they wait in ragged sunkWi-eyed packs, scratching, sucking lemon icis, looking to batter their way to a wallet. Lei this great liberal Turk spend a week locked up in the Tombs. Let him listen to the stories. Let him hear the screams of those going through withdrawal pains, choking on puke, their nerves ragged and distended. Let him try to sleep through a week of midnights in a neighborhood where heioin has spread like cholera, never knowing when the guy with the knife and the gun in his hand will enter, looking for money for dope. That's where the education should begin. The poppy farmers are just farmers. They grow what they can sell. But the people who run the Turkish government know belter. They know that there is no way to control the flow of heroin made from Turkish poppies. They know that and still they have chosen to grow poppies. Well, in that case we know that they have made a cold blooded decision to kilL The last Turkish election made the poppy a major issue, with various candidates vying for the Anatolian and nationalist votes, and there are reports that if the decision to resume farming again is reserved, then the government will fall. That’s just wonderful. Our children will be poisoned, hooked and killed because of Turkish politics. Just wonderful. * * * Bringing hople our Ambassador is just not good enough. Neither are the arguments that -drug addiction is an American problem, not a Turkish problem. Tbat’s like saying that the bombing of Bach Mai Hospital was a Vietnamese problem, not an American problem. The Turkish government knows precisely what it is doing, and. it is a problem for Turkey. A nation of honorable human beings does not collaborate in thekilljng of strangers. 1 still think a good old-fashioned piece of power politics is in order here, gunboats and all. The US. should ask the U.N. for the same economic sanctions it uses against places like Rhodesia, and everything possible should be done to smash the Turkish economy. An ultimatum should be delivered, and evpcy means necessary be used to end this including war disgusting business. It’s too late for nice civilized discussions.

Then there are songs like “I Shot The Sheriff” transition period, in which case he must be as and “Motherless Children.” You’ve probably heard confused as I am. One of the confusing things is that the the former. The latter is a fast paced blues that has conditions under which I listened to the album slightly more diversification. A prominent slide sometimes drastically altered my view of the songs. guitar gives it a certain’ amount of color, but basically these songs also lack the power and drive Here they are, for future reference. Condition one: using headphones (or speakers) at that only some out front solos could give them. very loud volume; subject must be in some way However, under Condition one, they become very pleasing, because there is some serious riffing going stoned. Condition two: speakers at medium volume, subject on, subtle as it may be. Unfortunately, for some reason those tracks are mixed down so low that you either stoned or sober. Condition three: speakers at low voltjme, subject have to make a real effort to hear them, which is , - by itself, serving only as backdrop for the various solos that are supposed to take place. On 461 Ocean Blvd., the rhythm section is there and it’s very solid, As 1 said before, this album leads me to suspect a number of things, none of which I can be sure of. Clapton seems to know what kind of songs he's expected to do, but either through lack of interest or inspiration doesn't seem to be able to make them work. There are attempts at spontaneity (like letting the tape roll after the song is finished (, but this only reveals the “let's gel this over with" attitude. IA t the end of I Can't Hold Out,” someone yells out. “ALRIGHT!” followed by “LI I S FAT!") Most of the songs are too long for the kind of commercial treatment they are given, and loo short for the kind of letting loose necessary to make them really good. Judging by the cover and “Please Be With Me" but on most of the songs that’s all there is. “Willie and “Let It Grow, " the two “acoustic" numbers, it and the Hand Jive” and “Get Ready” are two prime seems to me that Eric should try his hand at an examples. These two songs come one right after the acoustic album-next time around He might be very other, making it even worse. Both in the same key, tired of the kind of stuff pul forward on this disc, same medium-slow tempo, same kind of vocals, even but may also be chained to an image and a almost the exact same chords. reputation In the forefront are the vocals and a repeating As it stands. 46 / Ocean Boulevard is not too chord riff, both of which become very droning very hot The conditions required to get some enjoyment quickly. In the background is the rhythm section, out of it are much too selective Better luck next also monotonous. Under Condition one, you might time Willa Havseii Harold Alexander, Raw Root (Atlantic) Records are very flat, as flat as the mountains around my potato farm I suppose they store easily enough, the records I mean, and they don’t cause me much trouble, except when the goat got to ’em. Most records don’t do anything though, and the stereos don’t help very much, just sending out a trickle of sound. But when 1 plug them into my video-victrola, and send out the squirrels to round up the energy. I've got me quite a show. Not only do I get your regular old fashioned city music, but I get the pictures of the musicians playing along on the dust cover. They’re ’bout three inches high, and infinitely thin, and it sure keeps the kids quiet on the cloudy nights when they can’t count the stars. And the more music being made makes a better I remember I once had on a Coltrane record, I think it was Transitions, and the shine was even gleaming off the sax, and then the record skipped, and I swear all the musicians looked up and ‘Trane blew such a hard note the record went back on track. For the rest of the song I think he smiled, though with the horn in his lips, and me puffing away on a rather spicy ear of corn. Well, I just couldn't be sure. image Now when I got this Harold Alexander record from the bean barn. I was quite excited New jazz records (if you will permit me to use a label from my stable) are always great to listen to. and sit in my ollection like a smart-aleck kid cousin to the classics, peaking its disc out whenever 1 go looking for some fresh riffs. I couldn't wait to see the players: Joe Boner, Pharoah Sanders' piano player (Pharoah once cracked my dust cover "from screaming too loud); Richard Davis, the master bass man, and super-drummer Lenny White. And Harold, who I wasn't familiar with, given a chance to keep the cows at home 1 pul the record on my video-victrola, sat hack 'tween a hag of taters, and listened for the music, and listened as the sounds dripped-dnpped out of the speakers, and not one image appeared on the dust cover. 1 found some more nuts and put them into the converter, but that made no difference. All I could hear was Harold’s flute playing and some static guitar runs. 1 turned up the controls to full, and the music got louder, but no wider, and a couple of vague figures twinkled like dew on the dust cover There was Harold, alright, trying his hardest in a very straight, funky way. I put my nose to the cover, and stared at the piano man, and he was very near invisible, and when he occasionally sounded out, it wasn’t any of Joe Boner's crazy chords. Joe Boner, Boner. 1 made a quick check of a Pharoah album, and saw Joe Bonner, and that extra ‘n’ is a different man I’m sure of it, almost, maybe. Only Harold flashed with any regularity on the cover. Richard Davis could of been Sammy Davis. Lenny White drummed on two songs, and he was all there, his bass drum pushing through like a birthday card among the bills. But the squirrels started to complain, and I had to lower all the controls. The potatoes were boiling over, and the hay cellar needed sweeping, and I began snoozing out. The music droned on, and only a shadow of a doubt of Harold’s flute crept across the cover. Me and whal was left of the collection here were hoping for a lit lie avant-guard, but all we got was a few of the soldiers in black vinyl uniforms. Now this album is silling very shy among the others, and perhaps one day when the mice and biscuits are keeping me busy in the kitchen. I'll put on Harold’s album, cause I ain't gonna sit there squintin' at the dust cover, having to imagine what I'd rather see. Jeffrey Benson Page eight . The Spectrum . Friday, 26 July 1974 Hoo ha.

Wilson’s pacing (both in regard to his speech and his feet) and concentration, enhanced by the almost-documentary-style camera work in his sections, give a promise as well as a laugh. Somehow I doubt Wilson is interested enough in show-biz these days to give his all to more than a bit part like this one. Still, if he ever decides to, his performance here indicates a possible penchant for serious and beautiful dramatic acting. The life he has formerly reserved for comedy can be channeled to develop a rich character that I’d love to have surprise me sometime in the future. All things considered, I really have gushed in this article, but I’ve waited a long time for a comedy as good in the way this one is as USN. Its plot has a lot of the ingenuity of A Funny Thing Happened on the Way To the Forum with characters as rich as those in Dr. Strangelove. It’s got a youthful, lively, explosive attitude and, yet, somehow it always lets you know that it won't take things too far. Along with Chinatown (which I liked for very different reasons) it’s made film viewing worthwhile this summer. in For a full succeed, it musi principle of baggy-drawered artifice of ordt giving a logic characters in coi from us so that “It's only a me In Uptown provides the which the nutt, human problems marvelous, clear an underlying “President” Pe saving the world Uptown Sat smaller scale what could be bigger? but that same feeling of single-minded urgency is there. Our two heroes factory hand, Steve Jackson (Sidney Poitier) and cabbie, devilishly Wardell Franklin (Bill Cosby) decide to sneak uptown to “Zenobia’s” pleasure palace one Saturday night. When the place is held up that night, they lose their wallets, but since neither one has much money to start with,'it's no great and tragedy, right? Wrong. Because here’s the catch Steve later discovers that the lottery ticket he had been carrying in the stolen wallet is a winner worth 550,000. He and Wardell have just got to get it back from the crooks. And that’s the problem for the rest of the movie. ; , . — — — - - Making sense Uptown Saturday Night (USN) is the sort of comedy movie that I have always loved. It has its crazy sections, but its most lovable feature is that, stripped of the hilarious dialogue and wild characterizations, the bare bones of the plot would make sense in the real world or at least in a serious action movie. Examples: Steve goes uptown Saturday night because he’s on vacation, and because he’s on vacation, he has time to track down the lottery ticket; Warden’s a cab driver, so the pair has mobility; Steve works in a facotry, so he’s strong enough to handle the physical demands in the scene at the As cab driver Warded, Cosby’s broad portrayal steals the show. It brings us back to those days when a heavier, less-hairy Cosby spun those belly-laugh records about his boyhood in the “City of Brotherly Love.” His performance in USN redeems a lot of his disappointing work on television lately. In the old days, what made Cosby fantastic was his unique ability to create strange, vaguely-familiar characters on his records. In USN he is able to mould the character Warded both audibly and visually. We laugh at every move Warded makes just as we used to laugh at every syllable a Cosby record-character would utter. Poitier conceived the story which was imaginatively adapted for the screen by Richard Wesley. In the role of Steve Jackson, Poitier provides a subdued contrast to Warded except when Steve gets scared or, occasionally, must raise his voice, as when he insults Little Seymour; “I hear you’re so ugly, it’s against the law in twenty states to marry you.” Early in the quest for the lottery ticket, Warded lands in jail for one night. “We ain’t gonna do this no more,” he complains to Steve upon his release. “We’re gonna get who knows what they’re doing a private detective . . . yellow I don’t care who!” The one they pages choose is hustler/detective Sharp Eye Washington, energetically played by Richard Pryor. He speaks his lines with nervous grace as his body hurried, frantic tells the real story of a cheap con-man trying to hustle one last sucker before he's nailed. Others our heroes enlist or try to enlist in their quest are Roscoe Lee Browne as pompous, duplicitious Congressman Lincoln, Paula Kelly as Leggy Peggy. Calvin Lockhart as cool Silky Slim, and Harry Belafonte as gang-leader Geechie Dan Beauford. someone ... Warded has a funny, squarish beard that looks ready to jump off his face at any moment. Cosby has often complained “it just doesn't want to grow right." Warded wears a rag of a cabbie's cap, keeps his hand in his pocket, and slouches forward as he walks. Hjs specious apology to Little sounds very a tough hood Seymour much like “Big Brother.Cos" explaining his behavior to his frightening father. — — - Guess who’s directing Cosby's talent tor building characters is so strong, that his influence on some of the other actors can be noticed. Still, the actual director is Sidney Poitier. As a director, Poitier basically plays the film for surprises, laughs and some thrills like in the traditional chase’ scene at the end. - ... - — - - Geechie Dan Godfather I’ve been gushing quite a bit, but I really must admit that Belafonte’s scenes don’t — - - PLUG Uptown Saturday Night is playing at the friendly Loew’s Teck theater, 760 Main Street Friday, 26 July 1974 The Spectrum Page nine . . �Recycling... —continued from used by all industries. of the nation’s containers would save 92,000 barrels of oil a Re-using day. To defeat the numerous state bottle laws which have surfaced in the last couple of years, the container industry has not hesitated to play dirty. Local effects In local Erie County, a bottle bill came to a vote last May in the County legislature. One of the major proponents of the legislation was a group called Housewives to End Pollution. They gathered more than 14,000 signatures within two and a half weeks to show what support the bill had among the citizens. The group’s leader said AFL-CIO and Teamsters Union representatives had met with them for more than four hours, that the legislation would not be allowed to pass. “It was a chilling experience,” the woman said. “They told us, ‘We’ve checked you all out. We emphasizing page 5— know who your husbands are and where they work and how many children you have’.” “The thing that happened with unions really scared us,” she said, afraid, to use her name because whe was still afraid of what would happen to her or her family. “I am now completely disgusted with the democratic process,” she said. The woman said a man who said he was from the Teamsters told them that even if the bottle bill did pass, it would have to be vetoed by the County Extcutive because “he’s in the liquor business and he knows we’ll get him.” During the Erie County battle, Buffalo television WBEN-TV ran an station editorial bill and breweries favoring the bottle immediately several cancelled their advertising. Influence peddling In Vermont, influence peddling took the form of bribery. In an attempt to strengthen the state’s Impeachment legislator, introduced amendments to institute the two-cent standard bottle deposit and to outlaw flip-tops on metal cans. The night before the amendments were to be voted on, Lloyd received a telephone call from a Rutland lawyer representing the Glass Container — been replaced by Sam Garrison, an aide to former vice-president Spiro Agnew, who Monday that even if the evidence showed PresideiVjial complicity in crimes. Republican members should vqte against impeachment if they felt it would harm the Country. Lynch mob Pressure on committee Republicans has risen as the White House has stepped up its attacks blasting the committee as a “partisan lynch mob." a “kangaroo court," and a “black spot on jurisprudence.” The White House is attempting to portray the impeachment inquiry as a partisan vendetta of Nixon haters. McGovern liberals, and press, acheiving the occasion to oust the President for ideological reasons. House Republicans have been warned that a vote against a president of their own party would be treasonous, and would result in their being ostracized by party leaders. Both President Nixon and vice-president Gerald Ford warned in no uncertain terms that impeachment votes would effect which candidates for Congress they will support this November. John Erlichmann, formerly Mr. Nixon’s second closest aide, was convicted of approving the breakins by the White House plumbers into the office of Daniel Ellsberg’s former psychiatrist. If Mr. Nixon created the plumbers, the Erlichmann conviction was a definite setback. The Nixon blow came when the Judiciary Committee began making public the evidence it had accummulated since October 1973, when the House voted to establish an inquiry into President Nixon’s impeachment after he fired the former Special Prosecutor, Archibald Cox. Massive documentation of political wiretaps, the illegal surveillance of domestic dissidents, alleged bribery in the dicision to raise milk support prices, hush money payments, and the seamy activating the plumbers began to fill the newspapers. Thus every Republican member of the House, as well as conservative Democrats, must weigh their personal political considerations against the evidence and their consciences in casting this most important vote of their political careers. The pressures on them will build as the focus shifts from the committee to the House floor. Discrepancies The Judiciary’s version of the transcripts released by the White House differed significantly in ways invariably damaging to the President. “Let’s get on with the cover-up plan,” the President is quoted, whereas the White House version has him saying “Get off the cover-up plan.” “Make damn sure I can’t remember, I can’t recall,” the President coached Watergate witnesses, in stronger language than the edited version. President Nixon’s obstruction of justice in the Watergate coverup is the article of impeachment expected to bring the most bipartisan support in the House, because of the evidence Mr. Nixon approved hush money payments, coached witnesses, spawned perjury, made false statements, conveyed Grand Jury information to his indicted aides, and limited the FBI’s initial investigation of Watergate. His firing of Mr, Cox and approach to the judge in the Ellsberg trial will also be listed in this article. But most damaging was a portion of a March 22, 1973 tape which the White House had not even released, in which the President told his aides: “1 don’t give a shit what happens. I want»you to stonewall it, let them plead the Fifth Amendment, coverup or anything else, if it will save it save the plan.” The portion. Presidential Press Secretary Ron Ziegler later said, was “of dubious relevance.” The committee, obviously, disagreed. Broad charge The charge encompassing political espionage and abuse of power also has significant support. One of the dilemmas facing the committee is how broadly to write the impeachment articles, ranging from an article for each specific crime to a broad charge the the President “failed to take care that the laws be faithfully be executed.” A fairly broad charged to be backed up with specific examples is expected. - If a House vote to impeach comes in late August, President Nixon’s lawyers will probably - Vermont ... own impeachment. Abandon neutrality Also adding to the impeachment movement was a plan of Chief Counsel John Doer to make a case bottle law this year, Sam Lloyd, a —continued from page 1 Republicans seemed intent on finding an irrefutable piece of evidence the “murder weapon." The Supreme Court’s 8-0 decision, announced Wednesday, that Mr. Nixon must surrender 64 tapes to Special Prosecutor Leon Jaworsky, has weakened Mr. Nixon’s claim of executive privilege against House subpoenas. If Mr. Nixon defies the high court, and the Republicans concede, he will be sealing his request a month to prepare a defense. The Senate trial, which will take a minimum of two months, would then run past election day. The Community Action Corps has been sponsoring a glass recycling project in the front of Norton Hall.Located at the parking lot between Tower and Norton, the recycling center will accept any brown, green or clear glass. The glass must be rinsed, however, labels can remain. All metal from any glass must be removed before deposited (CAC officials note that many bottles have a metal ring from screw-off tops that must b6 removed). Mr. Nixon’s stonewalling of House subpeonas for evidence has also alienated many Congressmen, some of whom feel it is a continuing part of a coverup to obstruct justice. If the President disobeys the Supreme Court’s unanimous ruling, his impeachment will become a certainty. If he complies, the additional evidence may further weaken his defense. that is, to abandon the partial role of neutral presenter of the evidence and to interpret and analyze the evidence as an adovcate of impeachment. That the Judiciary committee will reccommend Before this, Democratic members were reluctant to press impeachment too hard in an effort to appear Mr. Nixon’s impeachment has long been a certainty; non-partisan. With a neutral staff, the committee’s that it will do so with significant Republican support mass of evidence thus lacked a coherent form on is now exremely likely. This in turn increases the which to base charges that a President should be odds that the full House will vote to impeach removed from office. Minority Counsel Albert President Nixon.

He has Nixon will be removed from office. Page ten The Spectrum Friday, 26 July 1974 . . Manufacturers Institute. He said that $100,000 worth of “corporate money” would be available to study the whole situation if the amendments could be dropped. Mr. Lloyd did not drbp his support of his amendments, but they were defeated anyway. Later, the lawyer claimed that he did not recall offering any set sum of money, and said he just wanted to offer the facilities of the National Center for Resource Recovery, operated by opponents of the bottle bills. In New York City, lobbying pressure began in 1971 when the first legislation against non-returnables was drafted by the Environmental city’s Protection Agency, then headed by Jerome Kretchmer. “The opposition was very tough," Mr. Kretchmer said. “Schaefer (the F&M Schaefer Brewing Company, one of the city's two remaining breweries) threatened to cancel their sponsorship of the park concerts and they said 'Get this guy Kretchmer off our backs, we’re an important industry to New York City’." As a result of the pressure, no bottle bill has even approached becoming law in New York City. The same goes for several whole states. Federal bill Environmentalists hope that the federal bottle bill will come to a door vote before the end of the year. One snag in the eyes of the bottle bill proponents is the idea of a “phase in” period recommended by the Nixon administration. The White House would like a phase in of three to fifteen years; Senator Mark Hatfield thinks three to five years is acceptable. Pat Taylor of Environmental Action is adament in her support of immediate implementation of the bill although a phase in of three years as most might be acceptable. Taylor also mentioned adding several safeguards to the bill in the advent of a “phase in” to make sure that industry will not put off complying as they have done in the case of auto emission requirements. One such safeguard would be freeze on all new models of non-returnables. A prime offender is Monsanto Corporation’s new one-way plastic bottle called “Lopac.” Monsanto and Coca Cola have already agreed to start turning out Lopac Coke bottles. No one knows just which way the vote will go but one thing is for certain. “They’re doing everything they can to defeat it, but there’s no question that it’s working in cleaning up litter and it’s the first step in trying to do something about the an immediate — throw-away society,” said one observer. * • • For more information about the non-retumables and what you can do to support the federal bottle bill, write to Environmental Action, c/o Pat Taylor, Room 731, 1346 Connecticut Ave., NW, Washington, DC, 20036, or call (202)833-1845. �WANTED EXPERIENCED copy editor wanted to edit a college newspaper.

Earth Shoe offers feet an alternative by Michael O’Neill Managing Editor You may have already noticed the scores of contented feet parading along Buffalo’s west side in unusual looking shoes whose heels are lower than their toes. If not, then perhaps you took note of the straighter postures and firmer leg muscles, but thought nothing of the footwear, figuring it to be a pair of worn down Hush-Puppies. You couldn’t have been further off the mark: Those feet 4 ladies and gentlemen, are shod in Earth Shoes and are of unusual appearance because they are of unusual design The negative heel and the firm arch support are intended to provide a more natural walk that puts less stress on the lower back and leg muscles. The shoe’s design is taken from the imprint of a bare foot in the moist earth, with the intent of constructing a shoe that conforms to the natural contours of the foot, rather than forcing the foot into the uncomfortable mold of a shoe. Anne Kalso, a Danish yoga instructor, designed the original Earth Shoe several decades ago and marketed it as an orthopedic aid. The concept was an immediate success and the Earth Shoe company grew steadily, expanding to New York and the American market a few years ago. The latest addition was a Buffalo outlet owned by John and Nancy McCann which opened last February. Mirroring successful sales throughout the country the local store was a success in no time. Passing the good word The Earth Shoe reputation spread largely by word of mouth; at first its distinct appearance initially made it a hit among the fashion-conscious remnant of the hip generation. Clientele and sales personnel built up a close relationship; the type observed only in its absence by the American commercial world. It was common habit for customers to adjust to the shoes by wearing them around the house as required, walking over to their friends houses, having fully adjusted convincing them to buy a pair and then running back to the store with a new customer in hand. The McCann’s involvement with the Earth Shoe began in much the same manner; discovering the shoe, then spreading the word to their friends. When the opportunity to open n store of their own arose, they jumped at it. The result is an attractive little storefront at 262 Bryant, just off Elmwood and a showroom decorated in Butcher-block furniture, sparsely populated with an assortment of plants and charts which demonstrate the improved posture and comfort that go hand in hand with Earth Shoes.

The ads resulted in a steppea-up demand that cleaned out store inventories and factory reserves in a matter of weeks. Since that time, there has been a shortage of the most popular sizes and models. was faced with a demand no exception The Buffalo store greater than its supply. They have managed to restock the shelves, however, and are now at the point where business is almost back to normal. To deal with the shortage, a first-come-first-served policy was adapted and no advance orders are currently accepted. If the size and model you want is not in stock, you just have to keep trying until it comes in. The procedure, admittedly, is undesirable but it does avoid amassing a long waiting list. Meanwhile, supply is expected to be back to normal by the fall. What kind of people would wait weeks for a pair of shoes, you might ask? It’s no longer just the fashion conscious young or elderly seeking relief for their aching feet. The appeal has reached just about everyone with foot comfort customers ranging from the doctors at nearby Childrens’ Hospital to industrial workers at the steel mills south of the city. Some of the earlier promotional claims about curing back problems have been retracted, but thousands of feet across the country would swear (if they could) that they have been rescued from the discomfort of high heels, platforms and pointed toes by the unorthodoxy of the Earth Shoe.

However, when these fears become so distorted that they interfere with the routines of daily living, avoiding these dreaded objects may only temporarily relieve the anxiety one has gradually developed. John Lick, assistant professor of psychology at the State University at Buffalo has come up with a better answer a free treatment program to help people reduce such unnecessary fears. — Unrealistic fears Such hangups are better known as phobias when a fear is “unrealistic in intensity given the realistic dangers,” according program for phobic individuals has been operating at this University since 1970. Besides dealing primarily with spider and snake phobias, treatment has been offered to those with fears of heights, social situations, and enclosed spaces. Success is not always guaranteed, however. “Some phobias are harder to treat than others,” said Dr. Lick, “and agrophobia (the fear of leaving one’s house) is nearly impossible to cure.” Become desensitized Fortunately, agrophobia cases are rare and those with more prevalent disorders should seek a treatment known as systematic desensitization. Using this procedure, the patient is initially taught deep muscle relaxation. Once this relaxation is achieved. Dr. Lick. Someone with a snake Dr. Lick constructs a series of phobia, he explained, might feel situations dealing with an anxiety extremely uncomfortable or producing theme. If, for example, threatened, even if the fear the participant is afraid of heights. objects were safely locked away in Dr. Lick will have him imagine a cage. Some people are reluctant that he is standing on a two-foot to seek treatment because “their step ladder. As the sensitization fears are so strong that they avoid begins, the participant is led anything (remotely] connected through more imaginary fear with spiders and snakes,” Dr. Lick situations until he is actually said. confronted with the object of his Currently under Dr. Lick’s fear. to “Anticipation of the phobic object usually produces the peak fear reaction, and the participants object less find the disturbing then they had imagined. So there is a reduction in fear,” Dr. Lick stated. factual Drastic approach Other methods of fear reduction have also been explored, usually more drastic than the desensitization approach. One technique is to directly expose the patient to his phobia, under control conditions. The more contact the patient has with fear object, the less the fear would eventually be. Dr. Lick maintained. “The fear reaction over time, and no habituates longer produces any. fear,” he added. Thus far, the treatment has been highly successful, with 95% of the patients experiencing a reduction in their fear reactions. “This does not necessarily mean 300protest. Free gifts —Santos Drug companies giving away loads offree pharmaceuticals St ***** ■* - — A few years later he and other senior pharmacy students, paying only train fare, went tfi the Eli Lilly plant in Indianapolis. There Lilly provided lavish entertainment, “every conceivable comfort in bed and board,” and even “cash to put in the vending machine at the company plant,” said Shargel. Wifie and dine Later Shargel enrolled in medical school and twice he and his wife, with other physician couples, accepted invitations from Lederle Laboratories to visit its plant at Pearl River, New York. “We went to New ¥ork City, stayed at the Waldorf-Astoria, wined 'and dined at incredibly expensive restaurants, went to Broadway shows, and had a marvelous time, all at the expense of Lederle.” Taken by limousine to’ Pearl River, they had a * and enlightening” plant tour and left “with more gift boxes of samples.” And Shargel’s testimony of drug company bribes was corroborated by others, re-enforcing a subcommittee disclosure that 20 leading drug companies in 1973 alone gave away more than 2 billion pills as free samples, along with 12.8 million gifts and more than 45 million product “reminder” items. They also sponsored more than 31,000 “plant y tours,” and 7519 symposiums. The American Medical Association, which had previously claimed that only “a handful” of companies and doctors engage in the gift-giving, backed down on that statement under questioning by the subcommittee. The NAMA also admitted that the drug industry accounted for about $9 million of its $34.5 million in revenue last year. “pleasant Page two The Spectrum Friday, 19 July 1974 . . " ■ It’s never been much of a secret that drug companies are notoriously loose with their material favors when it comes to their most important customer the doctor. This spring, testimony before the Senate Health Subcommittee only confirmed the obvious in glowing detail. Dr. Martin Shargel of Silver Springs, Maryland, said that he first started taking gifts in 1956 as a pharmacy student. He recalled how he and friends used to go to medical meetings, fill shopping bags with free drug samples and toys, “dump our loot” in a car and return for more. WASHINGTON (LNS) In 1968, Litton was ranked the 44th largest industrial corporation in the United States with an estimated worth of 8.1 billion dollars. Tex Thornton, a founder of Litton and Chairman of the Board in 1968, also sat on the of Directors of other Board industrial giants including Trans World Airlines, Union Oil, General Mills and Bank of Bancorporation (a holding company for Bank of America). Founded in 1953, Litton eventually acquired more than ten businesses, including Hewitt-Robbins in 1965. Buying out other companies has been the formula for Litton’s growth; as it is for many corporate giants. Thornton is personally worth $80 million, according to an article in Ramparts magazine written by David Horowitz and Reese Erlich in 1968. In 1953, Thornton and Roy L. Ash reportedly lost their jobs at Hughes Aircraft for filing phony requisition forms. By 1954, “Hughes Aircraft had paid back some $43 million to the Air Force which had been ‘misappropriated’ during the stay of Thornton and Ash,” states the Ramparts article. Government contracts In 1961, Litton acquired Ingalls, an ailing shipyard with $60 million in annual sales, for $8 million and an agreement to pay $9 million in debts to the navy,” according to Messrs. Horowitz and Erlich. The purchase was allegedly designed to take on big they were all completely cured,” warned Dr. Lick. However, he has never detected any negative side-effects resulting from the treatment, “and no one has had a fear reaction that has gotten worse.” The whole treatment process takes from two to eight hours and Dr. Lick recommends that anyone (over 18) with a phobia relating to small animals contact him at 831-1 1 80. Once again, the treatment is free of charge. —continued from page 1 • — • government contracts from the Navy. Litton was prepared to acquire these contracts before they were put up for bidding - possibly because one of Litton’s vice presidents, John H. Rubel, was a former Assistant Secretary of Defense. Ash secured a $130 million “loan” from the state of Mississippi to finance the operation, and “with overruns, the U.S. Navy poured another $3 billion into the yard,” reports Michael Myerson in his book Watergate: Crime in the Suites. According to Ramparts: “One former Litton Executive . . . estimated that as a matter of practice, Litton . . . normal renegotiated its contracts to one and a half times the original price . . Thus, once a project has been started, the Government sinks more and more taxpayer dollars into it.

To help meet these costs, the Office of Financial Aid has reportedly channeled $8,660,000 to some 6000 students. Although most of the funds are already used up for the 1974—75 academic year, students interested in applying for aid the following year should obtain forms after December and have them filed with the Financial Aid office by March 1, 1975, said Joseph Stillwell, director of the Office of Financial Aid. Located in 312 Stockton Kimball Tower Hall, the Financial Aid Office administers several plans of financial aid, all based on need. Federal assistance Among the Federal programs is the Basic Educational Opportunity Grant (BOG), which was authorized under the 1972 Higher Education Act. Last year, 298 students from the State University at Buffalo participated in this program, receiving around $88,000, Mr. Stillwell said. “This program represents a new trend by the federal government in that it provides money to the student, not to the University for distribution to its students,” he explained. The government allocated $122 million in BOG’s for the 1973-74 school year. That figure is expected to reach $475 million for the coming year, Mr. Stillwell added. The BOG program will provide non-repayable grants of up to $1050 a year for students enrolled as full time freshman or sophmores. These grants are intended to be the main component of a financial aid package, combining with other forms of aid to cover the cost of education. Students should apply directly to the Federal Government for assistance through this program. The aid application gathers information on family income and assets to determine the student’s eligibility and the amount of the grant. “A family of four, making less that $11,000 would be eligible,” Mr. Stillwell said. Exceptional need The Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant provides aid to students with exceptional financial need. The grants range from $200 to $ 1500 per year. The Federal Government also sponsors the College Work Study Program. About 500 students participated last year, working at Jobs on and off campus and earning between $1.75 and $3.00 per hour. The average amount earned per year is about $700. A wide range of both federal and state low interest loans are also available to students. The National Direct Student Loan, sponsored by the Federal Government, can provide a student with up to $5000 for his SUMMER ORIENTATION 1974 undergraduate career. The government allocates money to the university which then lends it to students. Repayment at a 3% interest rate must begin nine months after students complete their education. The principal and interest may be reduced for students who teach handicapped children, pre-school children in Headstart Porgrams or in schools with a large percentage of low income families. Last year, 1450 State University at Buffalo students borrowed over a million dollars under this program. Nursing loans Nursing students may also borrow up to $1500 per year at 3% interest under the Federal Government’s Health Manpower Act. Up to 85% of the loan may be cancelled when, upon graduation, the borrower is employed in a public or non-profit institution, or in an area determined to have a substantial shortage of nurses. New York residents may received assistance through the New York Higher Education Assistance Corporation Loan, whereby a student may borrow up to $7500 for his undergraduate studies directly from a participating commercial bank. Repayment begins nine months after graduation at a 7% interest rate. “Because of its availability,” Mr. Stillwell indicated, “almost 3000 students got these loans which totaled over four million —continued on page 16— Incomingfreshmen preview University Don Eisenmann Staff Writer Spectrum The transformation of 2000 uninformed, unassuming, incoming freshman into the sophisticated, worldly, University students we all know and love will begin Monday with a series of freshman orientation conferences. Each three days long, the sessions are designed to help incoming freshmen adapt to the academic and social life of the university. The entire program will last 5 weeks, with 10 sessions, running Monday-Wednesday and Wednesday—Friday each week. half commuters and half Ten undergraduate student aides residents will guide the students during the orientation. The aides were chosen from over 200 applicants on the basis of interviews, recommendations, their knowledge of the campus, major, and outside activities. - Student redress - Grievances heard in summer Many students are not aware that the undergraduate grievance procedures are still in effect over the summer months. The procedures, originally adopted three years ago by the Graduate Student Association (GSA), can be used by undergraduate, graduate and Millard Fillmore College students who feel they have justifiable grounds for a grievance against any faculty member. Ron Stein, associate director for Student Affairs, termed the program “extremely successful” during its three-year history. In the past, grievances have covered a wide variety of issues, including grading questions, the denial of tuition aid to graduate students, and the dismissal of students from their programs of study. ‘This is not a disciplinary procedure, but rather, it rights the wrong,” Dr. Stein explained. chairman of the appropriate Faculty Divisional Committee. If the chairman finds insufficient grounds for the appeal, he may convene a grievance committee to review the case. This grievance committee includes two faculty members and two undergraduate students, and excludes representatives from the department involved in the grievance. The Divisional Chariman chooses these four representatives from a panel of faculty and students from each of the other departments. The committee must issue its findings and recommendations within ten days of its last meeting. Following the Faculty-level decision, a student has the option of filing an appeal with the Dean of Undergraduate Education. If the Dean finds reason to doubt the effectiveness of the prior review, he may convene a grievance committee consisting of Levels of grievances representatives from all the There are three levels in the Divisional Panels. Once again, no grievance resolution process: members of the department primary, faculty and involved are allowed to take part undergraduate studies. The in the decision.

A decision made at the primary grievance. "We have created an level can be appealed to the awareness of student rights and at . Student aides “The student aides will be assisting in every aspect of the orientation. They’ll be aiding with the registration, conducting tours and also be conducting workshops on topics of interest to the students,” explained Division of Undergraduate Education DUE advisor June Blatt, who helped train the aides. “The aides received seven weeks of training in the spring regarding such factual information as academics, registration, housing and' instruction in developing communication skills so they can best answer any question the new students might have,” Ms. Blatt said. The training is continuous. Each Friday, the aides will have an evaulation meeting to discuss ways of improving orientation. Among the scheduled activities are a number of student-run workshops on topics ranging from the Buffalo community and black and white relations, the special problems of the commuting student. A registration workshop will explain the procedures for signing up for the fall curriculum. There will also be an improvisational theater giving the new students an opportunity to perform. Tours will be conducted on both campuses to show the students where they will be living and attending class. Student activities The aides will also outline the various student activities housed in Norton Hall and introduce representatives from the respective organizations. Any University organization can make information about their group available by contacting Carol Hennessy at University the same time protected them,” Dr. Stein explained. Although the State University at Buffalo is one of the few colleges in the country to offer such a service. Dr. Stein feels many students are not familiar with the procedures. Anyone who feels he has a legitimate grievance should contact Dr. Stein or Ronald Doleman in 201 Harriman. Activities. Other activities include a tour of the libraries, health service, a career guidance workshop, folk dancing by the Jewish Student Union, an evening bonfire, a trip to Niagara Falls and a coffeehouse sponsored jointly by the Student Association and the UUAB Coffeehouse Committee. “We’ll help get the student squared away for the fall, to facilitate the move from what he thinks he wants to do, to what the University offers in terms of courses and instruction,” explained Robert Grartham, director of Advisement. “We act as information brokers, passing it on from the various departments to the student and helping him negotiate the system.” This year there was much more coordination between the Educational Opportunity Program (EOF) and the regular program, Ms. Henessy said. The EOP students will participate in the regular orientation but will attend a special half-day conference on the first day of each orientation period.

Luis Sanches, also leader of the Movement for the Reorganization of the Portuguese Proletariat, was picked up by police June 7 and is now being held in the army’s custody, waiting for charges to be brought against him. This arrest occurs less than two months after Marcello Gaetano’s fascist regime was overthrown by a military junta which immediately proclaimed its plans for “restitution to the Portuguese people of the civil liberties of which they have been deprived.” Ironically, Antonio de Spinola, leader of the junta and now president, was himself persecuted before the coup because he had written a book pointing out the futility of Portugal’s wars against the African liberation movements. - — — ‘Equal power’ According to The New York Times, Sanches was arrested because his article was interpreted as inciting Portuguese soldiers to desert. Although the new government has been attempting to negotiate a cease-fire with the African liberation forces, it has not been successful because the colonies will accept nothing short of total independence. Spinola’s plan was to offer the colonies a position of “equal power" ill a federation with Portugal, with Lisbon in control of finances and defense.

State and Defense Defense Department officials officials say the same holds true for US US military aid aid to Laos. Pentagon Peet, Pentagon military Vice-Admiral Ray Ray Peet, director of the military assistance program, testified before the Foreign Affairs Committee in mid-June that the US “security objectives” in Laos were “to support a balanced force which is of sufficient size and strength to maintain the survival of the politically neutral Royal Laotian Government and the independence of the people, and to encourage pursuit by Laos of objectives compatible with United States’ interests.” ‘Neutral’ The Admiral did not say in his statement that “a balanced force” meant giving military aid exclusively to Royal Lao forces in violation of the Paris Peace Agreement. Most observers feel it is incorrect to call the Royal Lao Government “neutral.” Anti-war activists stress that this is the time to put the screws on Congress and particularly on those “pivotal” senators and congress people who could make a difference in the final vote. As a word of encouragement, these activists point to the House vote in late June which closed up the “Food for Peace” loophole, drastically reducing funds available to the Thieu and Lon Nol regimes. The House action came on an amendment to the Agriculture Appropriations bill stipulating that no more than 10% of the funds appropriated in 1974 under Title I of the Food for Peace program can be allocated to any one country. Under Title I, American surplus food commodities are sold to foreign countries. The money derived by these sales is turned over the the local governments for use in their budgets. In South Vietnam and Cambodia these funds have been used for military purposes. On the other hand, Title II provisions call for food to be given through governmental or private voluntary agencies directly to needy people. For Vietnam and Cambodia, less than one-half of one percent of Food for Peace commodities for FY 1974 were given under Title 11. Last year alone, South Vietnam and Cambodia received over SS00 in Food for Peace commodities almost one-half of the world-wide program. Since the entire Title I program for FY 1975 consists of approximately $425 million, the House action set a limit of $85 million for South Vietnam and Cambodia combined. This effectively cut more than $400 million in aid to the two American-financed governments. The Title II food grant program was not affected. of- a continuing fonun where organizations can have ongoing input,” Mr. Vetter said, advocating more public committees to facilitate dialogue between citizens and legislators. . ., Legislators unconcerned Reactions to the NYCLU’s ratings by those area legislators available for comment reflected an overall lack of concern.

It includes $940 million in “Indochina Post-War Reconstruction.” That’s $436 million more than last year’s economic aid request and very little of it is destined for actual reconstruction. Anti-war critics charge that continued US aid bolstering Saigon's dependent economy (which would get $750 million of the $940 million) only postpones a genuine solution to South Vietnam’s political and economic problems.

Most of these men will be out looking for jobs this week, while vulturous supercorporations like Litton acquire title to more property and more human lives. Corporate dictatorship is nothing new to America; with untold of resources at their fingertips, monster corporations like ITT litterally run our government. The Soviet wheat deal, Lockheed loan and the energy crisis all confirmed how government will favor these corporations even if they have to finance them directly.

They see bringing Shockley to this campus more in terms of providing entertainment than the facts of racism. In their opinion, the arch-racist Shockley would provoke “controversy.” No. Racism is neither “something crucial to say,” nor “controversial.” Racism kills: whenever you talk, as Shockley does, of the genetic inferiority of a people (here, black people), you threaten their lives we think of the Shockleys of 1933-1945. Racist ideas reflect a racist reality. Shockley’s “theories” are used to justify real social policy, such ?s welfare sterilization bills which offer cash incentives for sterilization of people of “inferior” intelligence. Even The Spectrum’s editorial stance of “freedom of speech” misses the point that Shockley’s “theories” advocate the selectivfe extermination of a people. Shockley and his ideas do not deserve the publicity and funding of our public ’ — the support of the National Labor Relations Review Board, which is supposedly pro-labor. At the Hewitt-Robbins plant, totally disregarded the soaring cost of living by dragging out a 26-cent raise over an extended period of time Litton and procrastinating a new contract until well past the original deadline. The fact that the government allows corporations tax writeoffs and other financial loopholes lends credence to United Rubber Workers (URW) President Peter Bommarito's claim that Litton "milked" Hewitt-Robbins' and then used "pressure-cooker tactics and deceit in order to arrive at liquidation, the apparent most profitable move for Litton." A whole vivid history of corporate exploitation, including the recent events at the Hewitt-Robbins plant demands that this country begin moving in the direction of nationalizing that small clique of supercorporations which now wear this country like a glove. Given the fact that a ITT was powerful enough to influence the downfall of Salvatore AHende after he tried to effect a democratic form of socialism in Chile, it would be extremely naive to think that this goal can readily be achieved. But if the economy remains ridden by inflation and uncertainty, and corporate greed continues to consume the lives of more and more Americans, strict Federal control of the supercorporations may be the only answer group like by Pete Hamill (c) The New York Post Corp.

Korea and Vietnam were ideological wars, based on the arrogant assumption that we would kill people in other countries because we disagreed with the way some of them wanted to live. Their quarrels were none of our business. There was never any possibility that Korean or Vietnamese communists could cause us direct harm at home. We killed them simply because they were communists and we were capitalists. But Turkey is different. Turkey is killing Americans right this minute. Turkey will be killing Americans at an even greater rate in the future. It is killing us with heroin. Heroin made from Turkish opium kills the brains of the people who OD on the streets of Harlem and Bed-Stuy and the South Bronx. That heroin flows in the bodies of people who kill old women in elevators for the price of a nickel bag. Heroin causes more than 50 per cent of all crime in the city, and that is more violence than the Korean, Vietnamese or Chinese communists have committed on our shores throughout history. Last week, the government of Turkey decided to lift its two-year partial ban on the growing of opium. That was a direct act of aggression against the U.S., most particularly against the people of New York, which is the nation’s heroin addiction capital. That decision is a decision to kill, destroy, steal and terrorize.

For years, law enforcement people had known how it worked: opium was grown in Turkey, processed in French plants in Marseilles and delivered through “the French connection” to the shores of the Xi-S. The amount of opium gum required for a kilo of heroin was sold in Turkey for $220; by the time it reached the streets of New York, it was worth $240,000. Since Nixon was then still posing as a “law and order” man, he had to do something, so he came up with a solution. He decided to bribe the Turkish government. The turks took a $15 million down payment against an eventual bribe of $37.5 million, to “study” ways to get Turkish farmers to grow other crops besides opium. That “study” money is probably safely ensconced right now in Switzerland. According to Frank Rogers, the city’s special narcotics prosecutor, there was still plenty of opium, even after the Turks announced their partial ban, most of it in the hands of middlemen. But with the Turkish announcement last week that full-scale opium farming would be resumed in six provinces this fall, the opium in the “pipeline” will be released. There has been a heroin shortage in New York; we can look forward now to a heroin glut, with its attendant cycle of homicides, robberies and overdoses. Rep. Rangle says “New York will feel the effect within 60 to 90 days.” To me, if a government (in this case Turkey) sanctions the killing and terrorizing of another country’s citizens (Americans, in this case), that is war. Forget the assurances of the Turkish government that the opium is only for legal pharmaceutical purposes and that illegal smuggling will be controlled. They didn’t do it before; there is no reason to believe they will do it now. They are in opium for the money and they don’t care how many lives are destroyed as long as the profits are steady. * * * Nixon has called home the ambassador to Turkey for consultation, but that is clearly not enough. The narcotics racketeers can only chuckle. What is needed is direct action. According to Newsday's Pulitzer Prize-winning study of the problem, there are 90,000 farmers engaged in opium growing in Antolia in Turkey. Since 1971, the crop has legally been grown in only four provinces of Anatolia, but now the ban has been lifted, and opium will be grown to match the demand. Those 90,000 farmers should be warned that we hold them and their government directly responsible for their acts of war against our citizens. They should be given a seven-day period in which to burn their crops, or move to safe areas, and then our B-52s should begin the systematic carpet-bombing of those fields, an act to be repeated every three months until they get the idea. The Russians will not interfere; the Turks, after all, are part of the “Free World,” and have received more than $3 billion in military and economic aid from us. And if the Communist countries want to rally to the defense of heroin, they are welcome to the opportunity. In addition, Abe Beame, Malcolm Wilson and the State Department should issue a list of all products and businesses owned by Turkish nationals or the Turkish government, and call for a complete boycott of those goods. All foreign aid should be ended. All Turkish assets in the country should be seized and held in escrow against the lives of our children. On our side, all we would be doing is killing opium and money; the Turks arc killing people. For the first time since Pearl Harbor, Americans are the injured party, and it’s time to start fighting back. �:IHE TEHMXBfll.

Having trouble? Well, he can't quite see it either, as evidenced by his performance in The Terminal Man, Mike Hodges' pretentious and preposterous film rendering of Michael Crichton's sci-fi thriller. Victim of a brain disorder called para-epilepsy, which causes sudden and uncontrollable fits of murderous rage (and which has led to his divorce and permanent estrangement from his children), Harry Benson, our hero, is brought to Babel Hospital for an operation which (famous last words) "has not beien performed yet on a human being." This ominous procedure involves the implantation of computer-controlled electrodes which, at the drop of another seizure, would stimulate the "pleasure centers" of Harry's brain, thus using good to overpower evil. ("But isn't that mind control?" an uppity young student asks Dr. Ellis (Richard Dysart), careator of the process. "What do you call compulsory education through high school?" he retorts, and for some reason this seems to satisfy everybody.) „ — — - Robot amour Before his operation, the original, uncontrolled iputer scientist with a passion for (w -..pressions, incidentally, actor Segal seems to have copied carefully for this role) and a conviction that machines are about to take over the world. With writer-director Hodges dropping little hints like that one into every crevice along the way, it is hardly surprising that Ellis' brainchild turns naughty. "This is more satisfying than psychiatry, eh?" the good doctor jokes while boring through Benson's skull. However, a quick review of a good Psych 101 text might have enabled him to predict that Harry's brain would realize within a few hours of recovery that seizures bring nice rewards. By evening, the instruments on which the new, improved Harry Benson is being monitored show that the frequency of his seizures is increasing by leaps and bounds and the patient himself has leaped and bounded right out of the hospital, into the bed of girlfriend Angela Black (Jill Clayburgh). hated, anyway) in fifth grade; the stripper in a posh bar, where the search for the monster leads one doctor, starts her act clad in a nurse's uniform. Harry cross Running across the Catholic cemetery in the film's climactic sequence, the frantic Harry is pinned for a few moments by the force of a water sprinkler against a huge stone cross. The image, like most of — Angela nailed Angela, blithely painting her nails black as Harry's electrodes start blasting off behind her, gets hers at the hands of Dr. Ellis' Monster. Rushing over to find out why Harry's eyes are rolling so strangely, she is knocked over. Then Angela and her waterbed bleed together as he stabs both in glorious slow-motion. With Bach in the background (even pianist Glenn Gould has been used to infinitely better advantage, way back in Slaughterhouse-Five ), the watery blood trickles across the tiled floor for at least five minutes, while the bemused Benson goes on and on and on And so does the film. We follow Harry to his old workshop, where his favorite robot goes the way of his favorite girl; to the home of the elegant Janet Ross the sympathetic psychiatrist who, with the totai lack of sense characteristic of the whole bunch at Babel, almost becomes the next victim; and finally to the cemetery where, cornered in an open grave, he meets his supremely convenient end. . . . Terminal plan Every shot is framed so carefully and held so long, each scene looks so slickly planned, that the finished (very, very finished) product scarifices what little excitement its absurd premise might have generated. The little touches of irony and symbolism which Hodges apparently could not stop himself from wedging into every turn in the action are so heavy-handedly horrible that they come off looking like the comic high points of this otherwise dismal production. After smashing up his own robot-child in the workshop during his second big seizure, Harry rocks back and forth screaming "Let it stop! Let it stop!" as the metal head on its spring lying nearby bobs in perfect rhythm. Orderlies standing around in the hall outside the operating room on Ellis' big day tell the "retard jokes" we all hated (or should have the director's other tableaux, is held so long that only the butts of the orderlies' jokes could fail to catch the point and be offended by it. George Segal seems to have drifted through the whole ordeal in a daze, never daring to look up and find out what's going on around him. Even his seizures, though extremely graphic, are not all that interesting. The other characters compete with each other, each trying to look more urbane and wittier than anyone else. Only Joan Hackett's Dr. Ross shows any feeling at all for the dramatic possibilities here but I have always been suspicious of actresses who swear they’ve been running themselves ragged — for 48 hours but still look like Revlon ads. The Terminal Man might conceivably have put forth an interesting, even though far-fetched, argument against mind control. As it is, the film presents a much stronger case against movie-making or, more probably, movie-going. — �HORSEBACK RIDING Stratford, Ontario Co-sponsored by Life Workshops t Schussmeistois Ski Club Shakespeare comedy—light by Amy Dunkin Longaville, has pledged to study fo.three years, sans wine, women, and song.

Peter Bogdanovich's new film, Daisy Miller, is a big disappointment. He had better be ready to take his lumps. When an ambitious director with a big reputation fails, a critic has got to hit him a lot. harder than he would hit a hack director who mass-produces commercial potboilers. It may *hot seem fair, but the hack's films are so obviously trivial that they exist solely as cheap these days, perhaps not so cheap entertainmentsfor people who aren't very seriously interested in films, anyway. The failures of these hack directors are boring; their failures are always the same failures. Individual hack films don't do very much damage to the industry only cumulatively do they make it hard for good films to be made. Their popularity is ephemeral. In a couple of years or even they will be pretty much weeks forgotten, although during their runs they might seem like the greatest thing since chocolate ice cream. In contrast, a director who has done good work in the post has a responsibility to try his hardest each time. He becomes the "example" to young directors, and his reputation draws people to his films. When he fails, the critics have got to yell loudly to distinguish his past work from his present work so that those who seek what -. „ !f> ■ - — — — — offer will realize that the present tilnvdoesVt offer it. Also, the failings of an ambitious director are apt to be subtle, different and interesting failings. It takes time to say what's wrong since it's often quite different from what's wrong with most movies. History Henry James' chronicle of Daisy Miller has an unusual history. Originally, it was published in 1878 as Daisy Miller: a Study. Then, four years later, he reworked the short story and published it as a play. To this day, that play (Daisy Miller: a Comedy ) has probably never been performed. In 1909, James revised the original short story for the New York edition of his novels and tales, calling it simply Daisy Miller. And that's pretty much the entire chronology except for Bogdanovich's recent film version. For a long time I've maintained that the short story is, by its nature, the literary form that is most suitably adapted into a movie; that it can both remain faithful to the original and do justice to cinematic demands. Both feature films and short stories rely on a culmination of effects on the reader/viewer developed in a single sitting of about two hours. Novels are hard to adapt this way. Novelistic style usually requires the reader to put the book aside every so often and think about the section he has just read, but a film can't allow this. In films, the time for prolonged reflection caught them with their clothes off. In the film, this sceoV is robbed of'most of its must come at the end, and that's often how it wbrks" out in short stories too Because of this important similarity, the theme expressed in a short story stands a fighting chance of being translated into cinematic terms and Surviving the impact. Winterbourne doesn't seem as capable of deep thought as he does i» the story by Jam&. Also, throughout the film, Bogdanovich comicfy undercuts his transition moments. % Daisy Miller doesn't survive, though, because the way Bogdanovich plays it, it is too light. There is nothing really at its core. The plot involves Daisy, her feeble-minded mother (Cloris Leachman), and her bratty kid brother (James McMurtry) who are natives of Schnectady, N.Y., traveling through Europe. Daisy meets Frederick Winterbourne (Barry Brown), another “American" in Europe. They might have fallen in love if not for Daisy's disregard for the traditional values of American society abroad. James has written of Daisy, "the keynote of her character is her innocence that of her conduct is, of course, that she has a little sentiment about Winterbourne, that she believes to be quite unreciprocated conscious as she was only of his protesting attitude." — — Power shortage The film has lot the pure power of James' story. In a scene near the end, Daisy visits the Coliseum in Rome with an Italian friend, Mr. Giovanelli (played by energetic and charming Duilio Del Prete) with whom it is rumored she is having an affair. When Winterbourne stumbles upon them there, he is scandelized by their presence together. The scene as written by James with such impact that you almost have to read it twice to be sure that he hasn't - characters so much that we find it hard to take them seriously in their important . .. . r . Bogdanovich has Mr. Giovanelli sing "Pop Goes the Weasel;" Winterbourne and his frumpy aunt are shown in a drippy, lavish bath (pool) which detracts from their significance and underlines their bourgeosie decadence. Daisy's little brother is just too wiggly and, finally, boring. This is not to suggest that Bogdanovich shouldn't have the freedom to depart from James, but the laughs the film gets at the expense of its characters are hollow sight gags that don't build into anything they only cheapen the drama. The characters become pale, jokey shadows of those in — James' story. Poor Cybilt As Daisy, Cybill Shepherd has taken a of abuse she doesn't deserve. Bogdanovich was right in casting her in this role she really can play Daisy with believability and life. While she may not be a very versatile actress, she is well-suited as the self-centered, chattering Daisy. She lot — only hears what she wants to hear, and when she speaks, it's as much for her own benefit as for that of her companions. The problem here is not in Shepherd being cast as Daisy, but in Bogdanovich making a movie in the first place that is so well-suited to her talent, but so ill-suited to his. Bogdanovich never figured out how to make the movie properly, although he is able to use Shepherd very well in it. I don't begrudge a director the luxury of using a girlfriend's wife in a film. Both Fellini and Godard have done so with great success. In fact, Bogdanovich did it well in The Last Picture Show. But for him to grow as an artist, he's got to build on his abilities. In the past, his successes have dealt either seriously or comedically with a flat use of empty stereotypes and frantic, futile scrambling. Hokey images covered the underlying shallowness that he portrayed with terrific sensitivity. Daisy Miller is completely different it's like a fancy-dress masquerade, but the masks don't really conceal anything. And for once, they should. The characters in James' Daisy Miller aren't the bored, cardboard cutouts of The Last Picture Show or the flimsy paper men of Paper Moon. On the contrary, they are complex, non-stereotypes and Bogdanovich so brilliant in working with stereotypical images does not know how to deal with them. — — — Pot shots I think Shepherd has been abused in print by critics who really haven't figured out that it is Bogdanovich who couldn't make the movie, not Shepherd who couldn't play the role. Shepherd is such an easy target, that she is naturally the one attacked. Anyone who is both a former beauty contest winner, a covergirl, and the director's girlfriend is begging to be abused by careless critics. In Ethos, Robynn Grant, wife of Ethos Arts editor, Barry Grant, was particularly unfair to her. Methinks she doth protest too much.

Reading aloud (a pastime needing revival) forces one consider some aspects of fiction that are often taken to be the domain of poetry or largely ignored: rhythm, cadence (boomlay, boomlay, boomlay, boom!), authorial voice, style. It is the easiest way to revel in fiction; questions of theme and relevance are easily avoided.

He notes; "her ruined looks and her adult, rope-veined narrow hands and her gooseflesh white arms, and her shallow ears, and her unkempt armpits, there she was [my Lolita!], hopelessly worn at seventeen, with that baby, dreaming already in her of becominga big shot and retiring around 2020 A.D. and I looked at her, and knew as clearly as I know I am to die, that I loved her more than anything I had ever seen or imagined on earth, or hoped for anywhere else . "... I covered my face with my hand and broke into the hottest tears I had ever shed. I felt them winding through my fingers and down my chin, and burning me, and my nose clogged, and I could not stop, and then she touched my wrist." Perhaps this is the tenderest and emotionally purest scene in modern fiction. Certainly Lolita as a whole is the only necessary answer to all the allegations (inhuman,/ pedantic) against Nabokov. A work of art, simply by being a work of art, transcends (but look at how he treats women!) all the (but / couldn't identify with any of the characters) humdrum and conventional objections to it. When one thinks of the ruthless manner in which the sense of beauty has been drummed out of one's perception of any novel, one can begin to understand how a spate of unoriginal, unimaginative novels come to be admired, to be recommended, to be taught in colleges. Think of your high school teacher overburdening his or her talent by teaching Dickens to a class. She patiently explains Dickens' terrifying description of Coketown in Hard Times, or of the fog that elaborately engulfs Bleak House as the result of "Dickens' 'practice' of writing in installments."

But what these words describe can never be "real". In Fiction and the Figures of Life, William H. Gass reminds us that when a still life with fruit and flowers is so real that it draws bugs, it is still the pigment the bugs buzz around, not real fruit. Fiction is an elaborate and passionate collaboration between some real world (however minimally present in the fiction), the artist's imagination, and the language that clothes that imagination, dresses it to give it shape and style. The connections between words, mind and world in the movel are various: specific to specific works. The plot different ways portrayed mutilations most of Oates' fiction unquestioned I chooses to scrutinize become more and more debased. Great Mothers, Incestuous Desire (The Great ID) and homoerotics can be discovered almost anywhere one looks for them: television commercials ("Mother!" warns the announcer's silky voice, "you've made a mistake!" Mom looks up from her raw steak and pearl onions. "Next time, slice clean with Slice-a-Matic!"), comic books (Why, you may wonder, does Dennis the Menace look so completely like his mother, Alice, and not at all like his Pa, Hank? Could it be that he is the adulterous result of a liaison between Alice and chummy Mr. Wilson next door?). Notes from Underground or Mother Goose (witness the mutilation of three blind mice, see Jack fall, and what, exactly, did the inky dinky spider climb? What is the spider? And what about that spout?) Meaning, any kind of meaning, can be found any which, where, whatsoever. Beauty and imagination are rarer. minimize the effectiveness of the terror For instance, in The Hungry Gf recent story collection, a woman conference at which her work is beini terrified. She attends the conference in as her work is disfigured by the critics thickens: certain conventions of fiction exist that exist apart from the imagination, outside of language and often outside the intentions of even the wiliest of our novelistic imaginations. "What happened to me was so weird that if you'd read it in a book you wouldn't have believed it." These fictive conventions embody the shifts in perspective that make the unbelievable event a believable fiction. The problem with fiction that insists on its reality, or at least fiction that doesn't question its artifice, is that these conventions will work to throw the fiction out of its realistic framework and into some middle realm which the author cannot control. Certain types of literary symbol amply illustrate my point, John Updike, an otherwise intelligent and careful author, has Rabbit in Rabbit, Run hop over a bush and, later on, check his wallet to see if he has any lettuce (!) This type of identification (the character seen as rabbit) can work well in an ironic or comical way. Updike is serious, in these cases, though. Rabbit, after this kind of treatment, might well retire to his hutch and thumb his (cute bunny) nose at Mr. McGregor. The Hungry Ghosts by Joyce Carol Oates (Black Sparrow Press, $4.00) Joyce Carol Oates has written so much (six novels, five collections of stories., six volumes of poetry et cetera) that one would think she'd know better by now.

She feels her identity drift from her. She leaves the room and hides in a crowd. Grinds too loudly This is a decent idea for a story. But in "Angst," the story as written, the machinery that contrives the 'appearance of the double grinds too loudly. Throughout the story this woman with bright red hair is noticed and noticed and noticed for no reason. When she stands and announces that she has written the work, that the critics are wrong, wrong, wrong, something goes wrong with the story. This quasi-realistic fiction has been too obviously engineered for just this sort of anonymous terror and so the terror is merely literary, the result of elaborate machinations of an insufficiently subtle writer. One feels cheated by Joyce Carol Oates' inability to imagine a narrative function for the double. Instead she falls back on literary convention and notices this hysterical red headed woman and winks broadly at readers real buddy-buddy, something is going to happen, guess what? When that something happens, the reader feels only surprise, a surprise-ending sort of shock, not the kind of metaphysical dread the story so obviously aims for. Joyce Carol Oates, then, is at her best when she appropriates a specific literary form and lets the conventions of that form supply a foundation for the unique terror of her fiction.

The Hungry Ghosts contains "seven allusive comedies." Joyce Carol Oates is not a comic writer. The stories are elaborate revenges on various academic' types: alcoholic poets, critics, homosexual professors, revolutionary Norman O. Brown sorts. The characters are a compensatory eye not drawn with an eye for satire for embarrassing cliche does as well for Oates' purposes. One wonders if Oates has a little sympathy (even "satiric" — Jewish Bible fiction writer) misconceptions about the state of his art. He claims that real life has such an extensive hold on absurdity that the American movelist has no natural literary ground-field on which to perpetrate his singular PHONE 875-4265 outrages.

That Our Gang hypothesized a Nixon that proved to be only a quarter as corrupt and ridiculous as the genuine article proved Roth's point, I guess. Real life is far more absurd than most fiction. But so what? With My Life as a Man, Roth reasserts his talent by putting his fiction on safer (i.e. more personal, more literally dangerous) ground. The novel is about a writer: Peter Tarnopol, whose life has somehow lost its kilter. A disasterous marriage, a career that seems to move from cave-in to cave-in, a writer's block, a series of unsatisfying affairs prompts Tarnopol to re-examine his life, to investigate manhood, find what that word means. He begins by projecting a series of fictions (three stories of varying degrees of sophistication about one Nathan Zuckerman). Having gotten underway, he stops, reassesses, and begins a "real" novel about his own disasterous life, centering around his marriage. * EARLYII » » * � �������������A •37*554 every area's book stow Exceptioul keeks (rem larje ati small presses: literary t film periodicals, imported cards. usual gift Items •» 3102 MAIN ST.

Perhaps these "Hungry Ghosts" come a little too close to Inaccurate assumptions What I have been trying to suggest in my reviews of these two books is that recent fiction (especially fiction like Roth's and Oates' that perpetually hovers on the verge of "experimental" fiction) has been more than commonly prone to certain errors. These errors stem from basically inaccurate assumptions about the interchange between life and art, between the novelist's world and the world of her fiction. Joyce Carol Oates overestimates the capability of certain unquestioned forms to provide a structure for her peculiar hauntings, Philip Roth overestimates the capacities of life (absurd, political or distraught, personal) to provide a structure for fiction. The mediator between life and fiction, between the idea and its embodiment is located somewhere in considerations of language and form. It need not be the "literary" language of the avante-garde, or the form of the post-Joycean extravaganza. Language and form have always been a part of fiction. To ignore them as a testing ground for individual growth is willful foolishness. Perhaps these authors should read more books aloud.

I speak of Melanie, the whimsical lady with the guitar. This is the first studio album in almost eighteen months, and definitely her best album since Candles In the Rain. She seems more sure of herself on this disc, and her voice is strong and constant, not scratchy like she has sounded in some songs. — - "Love to Loose Again" is the title cut of the album (it is also her new single) and I must say it was a good choice for a "45". It's bouncy, the music is simple, but complete, and the words come across easily. She sings of how a woman was born to "love and loose," and although I don't quite thoroughly agree, I can safely bet that she sang the song with tongue in cheek. Although her new 45 is good, it is not the best song on the album. Melanie does an absolutely tremendous rendition of Woody Guthries' "Pretty Boy Floyd." If you listen closely, you will detect a little country twang, but the feeling and effort that she brings forth is almost unbelievable. If Woody were around today. I'm .sure he would walk up to her and say "thank you." And knowing Melanie, she would sit down and sing it all over again for him. The only snag on the album is her rendition of the Jagger/R ichards composition "Wild Horses." She slowed it down, souped it up with strings and ran it almost seven minutes. It isn't bad, but it isn't the kind of song I like to remember her by. She also does Randy Neuman's "I Think It's Going to Rain Today," and the late Jim Croce's "Lover's Cross." Both very well done in her typical style, a little soft, but loud enough to get the message across. I think both would make good singles for later release. Well, there it is, "the darkest of dark, the time before dawn." The songs are all strong, well produced and very well rounded. So take it home and play it.

MacDiarmid — Billy Faier, Banjo (Takoma) ‘Charlie Poole, Uncle Dave Macon, and Earl Scruggs, listen up. You're all now in the unusual position of having to stand up and cheer for someone who has proven himself your equal. You might remember him, Earl; he played backup for various people on that 1959 Folk Festival at Newport album you played on. Yes, it's that little Charlie Brown/Randy Newmanish kid named Billy The album is very organic. Phrases and ideas keep reappearing in new contexts, always contributing something new. I kept noticing all sorts of things. Like how much "Faier's rag" really sounds like an honest-to-Joplin rag. And "Pizzaraga"'s brilliant exploitation of the resemblance between banjo and sitar, down to Faier's head-drumming, which perfectly simulates the sound of the tabla. What all this demonstrates is Faier's grasp of the several genres he works in on the album. To this, he brings his knowledge of the banjo and its Faier. Well, he's changed some in the intervening years. capabilities, and the technical expertise to fully One, he has a couple of feet more hair. Two, he's the communicate his musical imagination. The result first person in what seems like eons to come up with fully reveals the sound of the banjo, and its a really new sound on the 5-string banjo. Until now, fascinating resemblances to its relatives the guitar, the incipient banjoist had two styles to choose-from; sitar, koto, dulcimer. In Faier's hands, the 5-string frailing/clawhammer (the "old time" style) or banjo reaches the limits of, its capabilities as a either down home or super-slick. musical instrument. I have one complaint, though, Scruggs-picking But maybe, if you have a good grounding in albeit a minor one. Some of the pieces are far too traditional banjo technique, and then spent ten years short, especially the delightfully droll "Rhinoceros devoted to the banjo as a legit instrument of musical Waltz," which can't be more than a minute and a expression, you might come up with the result Faier half. It cries out for the space given to "Improvisation in E" and "Longhorn Express," both has. Billy Faier/Banjo is a revelation. As far as I'm long pieces whose length allows them to develop concerned, it is the folk album of the year, though more fully. But most of the album is delightful. That's real it's not really right to pigeonhole it as folk.

My favorite moment is the beautiful intro to Faier's playing is consistently brilliant, "Zzyzx," which sounds more like a frontier amazingly fluid and smooth but never showy. He's pastorale than a ray-gun sound effect. also developed two interesting gimmicks that could Maybe you saw Faier wheh he was here last easily become his trademarks. One is plucking the semester. I did, and liked him. But the album, with strings under the bridge of his banjo, producing a the opportunity for repeated listening, has made a twinkly sound resembling a harmonic. He also drums much greater impression on me. We just might have a on the banjo head while he's playing, producing a master on our hands.

Bill Maraschiello — — — Page twelve The Spectrum/Prodigal Sun Friday, 19 July 1974 . . �RECORDS Tangerine Cream, Phaedra (Virgin Records) I'm scratching my chin, curling my toes and contemplating the divine mysteries of the universe. It's hard writing about Tangerine Dream and their first release, Phaedra. This album exists in that middle ground somewhere between popular music and contemporary Electronic composition, The group is composed of three multi-instrumentalists, all of whom play the synthesizer. Their compositions are electronically oriented in a very serious vein. Side one is composed of the title cut, "Phaedra,'' in three consecutive parts. Yours truly hask just started listening when the synthesizer sets up an ostimto (a clearly defined melodic phrase which is persistently repeated, usually in the bass), over which sustained notes and glissandoes scurry in and out of the texture. The ostinato subtly changes complexion and then proceeds to rise step by step to a climax before returning back to its assigned seat. The rhythm throughout is fairly static, while the dynamics remain on a basically uniform level (except, of course, while climaxing). Because they do relatively little in terms of rhythm, harmony and melody, the criteria by which the group should be judged is how well they draw different and interesting sounds from the synthesizer. Do they sustain our interests? I think they do, for the variety of tones they're able to capture is intriguing. At their best, it's . . cosmic! The texture is usually composed of three melodic strands (voices), so there's little problem with boredom, which is a very real problem in much electronic Tnusic (notorious for over-indulgence, I might add). Admittedly, I haven't saturated myself with electronic music, but I can't remember ever coming across such a traditional compositional device as ostinato being used so themselves much more freedom to create a mood. They use their other instruments to enhance the texture. Here the organ chord changes are slow and evocative. Over them are the sounds of chimes, rich in overtones, pleasing to one's senses Side two is basically the same delightful potpourri, and since side one is the more imaginative of the two. I'll let my case rest. Tangerine Dream can't be called avante-garde, for they're just not innovative enough. They certainly don't work in the pop idiom either, but would you believe . .. "Progressive pop?" With the right P.R. man, they could travel far. And should. _ Lupo Lazarus — problem. Start with their first cut, the fire paced "Silver Dollar Forger." Its thundering rhythm, throbbing drums and cymbals are a real mind blower. While you're getting psyched for a super climax, the genre changes and instead simulates eerie resonic sounds from oblivion. Ready to give up? Well don't, cause Nazareth comes up for air with a grandeur finale. Then there's "Shanghai'd In Shanghai" their British single. It's a marching melody where the contrasting vocals make a definite impact along with the cute little metalic insert from the Stone's "Satisfaction." Although it is a catchy tune, I don't think it would hit the charts here. And once again Nazareth has shown that metal groups can also produce highly moving numbers. "Loved And Lost" is their counterpart to Led Zeppelin's "Stairway To Heaven." Most soft numbers are similar except for those various techniques which make a few unique. Here the bass adds melancholic depth, a mesmerizing effect, to this soft, medium tempo ballad. And as you hear McCafferty's haunting voice sing . flagrantly (and repeatedly, too). The final part of side one strikes this writer as extremely impressionistic (and I’m impressed, too). The initial sound is that of metal being hit and the resulting reverberation. Now I'm at the shore, the sound of gulls and the lapping of the waves tossing my senses. The sounds are amazingly realistic. An important point is that Tangerine Dream has abandoned the ostinato throughout this part, giving various other scenerios, make this cover quite enticing. huh? Well, they say you can't judge an album by its cover, but this may be an exception. Nazareth, a light metal band from England, is quite prominent across the Atlantic. However, they have yet to make it here in the States. Rampant is their answer to this Spicy Nazareth, Rampant (A&M) Ever have an album staj-e you right in the eye, daring you to play it? Take a look at Nazareth's new album. Rampant. Deep red background with a 1 pix of a stud who probably walked out of the Alamo alive, along with It's better to have loved and lost Than never to have loved at all. you can't deny this certainly is a very nice song (eat your heart out David Gates). But there's still more. Do you wanna boogie? Try "Glad When Your're Gone" a little roxy lick, or "Jet Lag," where you'll be sure to get on your feet. Nazareth also try their hand at a Vardbird's song, "Shape of Things." This renovation has been attempted by many artists (including Bowie). None of them perform it with as much charisma as the Yardbirds. Basically, this is a strong central album, if you only listen to the first side. Progressing from their former albums, Razamanaz and Loud and Proud, Rampant shows the group has a prominent direction to head in.

(Swan Song) worse) Concerning Bad Company's material, there is a means absolutely wide variety displayed. Mick Ralphs exhibits his nothing. Even those listeners titillated by the writing talent with the hard and heavy "Can't Get ill-fated Blind Faith had to admit that the band's Enough," the band's single; "Ready For Love," and personnel was much more impressive than its "Movin' On," an up-tempo rockfer, demonstrate the resume. On the other hand, one falls upon the band's true confidence and exuberance. sounds of a somewhat obscure band, such as As for Paul Rodgers, his "tfock Steady" is the England's 10 CC, and has a pleasurable an experience band's enjoyable token rhythm and blues rocker. as a Creamsicle on a hot summer's day. "The Way I Choose," another Rodgers tune, is where The highly lauded Bad Company, the first band his Free meanderings really shine. The slow electric signed to Led Zepplin's newly-formed Swan Song ballad is reminiscent of some Free tune or other, but label, has finally reached these shores with a debut it's still listenable. disc which will mildly please some, disappoint many. The Rodgers/Ralphs collaborations are For those not already familiar with Bad especially moving, even though this duo hasn't yet Company's personnel, it includes vocalist Paul realized its potentials. Rodgers shines on "Don't Let Rodgers, guitarist Mick Ralphs, drummer Simon Me Down" as he explores new dimensions of vocal Kirke and bassman Boz Burrell. Rodgers and Kirke soulfulness. "Seagull" is an exquisite bastardization are veterans of the mythological Free. Ralphs has achieved more than a notch of notoriety as axe man for Mott the Hoople, and Boz has nothing to his credit but a brief stint with King Crimson. With credentials such as these. Bad Company exhibits almsot unlimited potential as a free wheelin' hard The term "supergroup" rock band. Bob Dylan/The Band, Before the Flood (Asylum) To an artist, multimedia means the availability of more forms of expression, possibly simultaneously. To a PR man, multimedia means the availability of more forms in which to sell the same product. So you start with a concert. Articles, interviews, books, posters, T-shirts, now the album and soon, no doubt, the film; all these things attend it's passing. What can you do? There were literally millions who couldn't get tickets and wanted to go, and I suppose this is one of those things that may go down in history, simply because the PR men will make certain it does. So here we have a two record set of the typical composite show of the Dylan/Band Tour of '74. A concert album, to be worthwhile, has to offer you something besides the songs themselves, which are usually re-hashes of already recorded material. This is especially true of The Band cuts on Before the Flood. Not only have these songs been recorded in original form, but half of them have also been recorded live (on Rock of Ages). So what does this one offer? First, it is an accurate account. If you play sides 1—4 in order, you will hear the same format followed at the concert. First, Dylan and The Band together, electric, then The Band alone, then Dylan alone, acoustic, then The Band, then together for the grand finale. This format was and is very helpful in breaking the otherwise possible monotony. Having been there, the album seems to be a fair re-creation of the event in other ways, too. The inevitably vigorous reaction of every audience to that line in "It's Alright, Ma": "and even the President of the United States must sometimes stand naked." Hoots, hollers and yeows reminiscent of the general excitement. And, to the credit of Phil Ramone and the other engineers, a certain amount of the presence of the performers crosses the bridge from live to recorded. But, of course, this is all fringe stuff. What really makes the album worth listening to are the redone Dylan songs. The Band has proven once again that they are the best back-up men Dylan will ever have. They have a sense of just what to do to his songs to bring out all the hidden dimensions. Dylan also seems to have re-evaluated what some fif the songs mean to him, and has altered the vocals, sometimes drastically. All things taken together, the old songs come out sounding sometimes almost new, usually different in feeling, and always interesting. "It Ain't Me, Babe," for example, sounds light, bouncy, calypso-like, as if Bob can finally laugh at everyone's expectations of him (the chorus now goes "it still ain't me babe?"). "Ballad of a Thin Man" comes out as a near-caricature of the original. "Lay Lady Lay" is much more energetic and passionate; "Most Likely You'll Go Your Way" is almost vicious this time around, as he screams the last word of each line in time to The Band's driving repeating musical phrase. The influences of Free are easily discernable on the album, so the "clever" listener will have no problem tracing *he band’s heritage. To make things easier. Bad Co. does "Ready For Love," a tune which Ralphs wrote and sang on Mott The Hoople's All The Young Dudes LP. The band is a subtly powerful rock* congregation, a veritable behemoth of decibel persuasion. Most British rock bands sound like pop imitations of American rock bands; (just listen to Queen apd Aerosmith back to back and I think you'll see what I mean) but Bad Company soulds like nothing but Bad Company, pomp and circumstance taken into regard. And although they aren't a spectacular supergroup, they are a readily competent one. The key to the band's inner mechanism has to be guitarist Mick Ralphs, whose tasteful playing keeps Bad Co. from becoming a speed 16 regurgitation of Free. He lurks in the mad shadows behind Paul Rodgers, who is not exactly a slouch either. His vocal expertise is highly regarded in the rock world, and his quiverings have reached new heights of potency within the band. The old Free cultists will rediscover the pounding of Simon Kirke, who sounds ever so much more talented since Boz lived up to his responsibilities within the rhythm section. (He ain't no Andy Fraser, for better or • . Bad Company should go over big, one way or ther other, if not by their reputations, than by the sheer confident rockability they exude. Rodgers, Ralphs and Co. are too hard working an outfit to be plauged by the supergroup status. They really don't need Sajecki - Michael V.

FILM AND MEDIA COURSES Even those songs that retain the same basic arrangement sound much better with The Band's back-up. "Knockin' On Heaven's Door" achieves a cathedral-like splendor with the aid of Earth Hudson's organ; "All Along the Watchtower" becomes a few powers more ominous via Robbie's riffs; "Rainy Day Women No. 12 8t 35" is as raucous and stoned out as its immortal chorus line. The acoustic set is where Dylan himself shines the most. Down to the bare bones, just a guitar and harmonica, doing what he still does best, we all suddenly became aware of Dylan's own personal power, somehow felt somewhere in our collective subconscious a small part of the reasons for his greatness. There was more intensity of emotion in this set than in any of the others. Unfortunately, there are only three acoustic cuts included on this album, but all these attributes manage to carry over anyway. And the best cut of the set, "It's Alright, Ma," is present.

He didn’t come back, which suited me fine. The bourbon didn’t, it was only fair. “Now suppose you tell me what this is all about?” I asked / To the Editor. Racism is not ” "The Marlowe Spade?” he quipped. He had a sense of humor subject for a trial Shockley’s racism is clear; the racism of Speaker’s Bureau chief Stan Morrow and The Spectrum's Clem Collucci and Larry Kraftowitz is becoming more and more evident. Shockley calls for the sterilization of welfare mothers with “illegitimate” children and claims to have “new scientific evidence” that “in low I.Q. populations, each 1% of Caucasion ancestry raises I.Q. by one point.” STAN MORROW calls Shockley “a man who has something crucial to say.” CLEM COLLUCCI chimes in that Morrow’s “got guts” for wanting to bring this “symbol of academic freedom” to UB, and portrays Shockley as a respected scientist “who turned his attention to a decade’s study of genetics” after winning the Nobel Prize in electronics. Collucci does not mention that even Shockley’s own university, Stanford, has refused to allow him to teach his patently racist garbage, nor does he point out that professional associations in anthropology and genetics have thoroughly exposed and repudiated his views. LARRY KRAFTOWITZ editorializes: “It is unfortunate that student paranoia, coupled with a fear of controversy on the part of faculty, will probably present Dr. Shockley from ever speaking at this University . . . continued efforts should be made to bring Dr, Shockley to Buffalo . . The Spectrum Editor then talks about “opening up racism to public scrutiny,” but bringing Shockley to UB means opening up the University to the intensified output of racist ideology. Shockley needs a forum at the University to gain respectability for his genocidal theories. Although he tends to couch his racism in highly “technical” terms, Shockley asks (in a recent Phi Delta Kappan article): “Dear Reader, does a thought-blocker prevent you 1 have from recognizing the familiar because presented it in an unfamiliar light?” Racism is a crime against all workers and students, black and white. It facilitates our organizational disunity and perpetuates our exploitation. Racism is not a blot on an otherwise democratic social fabric in the U.S.A., racism is part and parcel of the profit system. Racism means billions of dollars to slum landlords and suburban realtors, and to corporations everywhere that reap profits from racist pay differentials. The ruling class will push racist propaganda and carry out racist policies NOT until they are “proven wrong,” but until they are physically stopped by actions like students at Staten Island Community College took in shouting down Shockley. Ultimately we will need a violent revolution by workers and students to destroy the capitalist ruling class and every last scrap of their racist propaganda. ... -Progressive Labor Party P.S. See the Progressive Labor Party pamphlet Racism, Intelligence and the Working Class for an analysis of the currently used Standford-Binet I.Q. test and the “academic” racism of Shockley, Jensen, et al. Editor’s note: The editorial in question explicitly stated: “We vehemently oppose the Shockley theory that blacks score lower than whites on IQ tests because they are genetically inferior, and his warped, Nazi-mentality plan to sterilize persons of lower intelligence with the aid of cash incentives. We would like to defeat Shockley as much as any other group, bur feel this can best be accomplished by having him debate several of his numerous opponents, “so he can be heard and rebuked, "as the editorial points out. Physically barring an individual with extreme ideas from speaking, in our view, provides him with undue publicity, enhances his credibility and only increases the climate offear. As we stated last week: “Only by opening up racism to public scrutiny, by seeing for ourselves Shockley’s racist mentality exposing it scientifically and politically can we defeat his racist appeal. ” - ” - Distorting thefacts To the Editor. faculty member who is not going to to Mr. Morrow’s open invitation for someone to debate with Shockley, I wish to protest the explanation you have given that this is out of “fear of controversy." (The Spectrum editorial, July As a respond 12) Your editorial charges that faculty have backed down before their intellectual responsibilities they fear because the provocation of “an emotionally-charged controversial atmosphere” which would make it impossible to follow the fine points of theoretical debate. In my opinion you have distorted the reason why faculty will not debate Shockley. There may be fear, but it is much more soundly rooted than the one you mention. There is certainly fear for one’s own reputation in the eyes of one’s colleagues and students, and fear for the reputation of the University in the eyes of the community. There is fear that by giving the appearance of rational debate and of scholarship to what are in fact slanders, insults and threats against millions of racially oppressed people, one is really debasing one’s intellectual responsibility and earning deserved contempt for the University not only from the victims of racism themselves, but from all who believe in civil rights and democracy. It is not always a sign of weakness to be afraid of what others may think of you. In fact, we need to cultivate a greater sensitivity towards the feelings and thoughts of the millions of racially victimized Americans who are grimly watching what some people seem to think is an amusing side show in a circus. ■ The fear is therefore real. But the “controversy” is a sham. The oldest myths regarding the fixity, innateness and inequality of intelligence are being marshalled forth as the newest scientific discoveries, and its propagators are being hailed as heroic fighters against superstition. In fact they have only rediscovered the delusions of slave-owners and feudal lords, but dressed up with half-truths gleaned from contemporary science. Fifty years ago only a small percentage of the — — Jefferson. “My associates and I, and the people we represent, are looking for something. We’ve been away for a while and something that was here when we left is gone. We want it found,” Jefferson explained. “And what is it I’m supposed to find?” “The United States of America,” Jefferson answered. I was stunned. “What is this,” I shouted, “some kind of joke? I’m leaving I got up. “Sit down, Mr. Spade,” a familiar voice said. It belonged to Sally Hemmings who was standing behind me with a Colt .22 Woodmaster in her hand. Something about her tone of voice was convincing. I sat down. “OK, what do you want?” “I knew you’d listen to reason,” Jefferson said. “1 think it’s time you met some of my associates.” He nodded to Sally who waved at three figures in the corner. They sat at our table. The arrogant looking man with thin shoulders I recognized from the last time I saw a ten-dollar bill. It was Alexander Hamilton. A short, fat, disagreeable looking man was introduced as John Adams and a short, skinny, nervous character said his name was James Madison. This was something heavy. “As 1 said,” Jefferson continued, “we want you to find the country.” “I didn’t know it was missing,” I said. “It was there when I got up this morning.^ “That’s not what we mean. We’re not talking about locating Paramus, New Jersey or Boise, Idalo or Williamsburg, Virginia. We founded a nation built on certain values, gave it certain institutions, a certain spirit and we’re worried because we can’t find them,” he said. “That’s where you come in.” “Well, as long as your money’s good I’m your man,” I told him. “Of course our money’s good,” Hamilton said indignantly. “1 made sure of it.” “Yeah, 1 wondered about that,” 1 said. “My dear, departed civics teacher, Mr. Washburn, used to tell me that you fellows were on opposite sides all the time. You and Adams were Federalists while Jefferson and Madison were Democrat-Republicans. Why are you in this together?” “We always managed to work together when we had to,” Madison said. We never made the mistake of equating disagreement with treason We always played by the rules,” Adams said “That’s right,” Hamilton said. “When some of my boys found out about Tom and his mistress Sally, I told them to keep it quiet. I failed, though.” “1 always appreciated that, Alex,” Jefferson said. “1 always admired the way you revealed your affair with Maria Reynolds to clear yourself on those corruption charges.” “You fellows would never have fit in with the Committee to Re-elect the President,” I joked. They were flattered. We talked a little while longer about all sorts of things, baseball, fishing, television, the future of representative government you know,small talk. I stayed foran hour or so after they left. The next morning, following a tip, 1 took a flight to Philadelphia. 1 stopped in at Frankie’s, a pool hall and numbers operation in West Philly. George, Frankie’s number two flunky, was trying to make a three-cushion bank shot off the 12 into the right corner. “Where’s Frankie?” I asked, “Who wants to know?” George snorted. I grabbed his shirt arid a piece of his chest and said I do,punk Now where is he? In the back,” he grunted. 1 let him go. He missed his shot I opened the door. Frankie scrambled around tossing his gambling records in the wastebasket and yelling for Manuel, his assistant, to get a match. “Hold your water, Frankie,” I told him, “I’m not after your books. 1 need some information, that’sail.” He motioned to Manuel to leave. “Whaddaya want, Spade?” he growled. Frankie was a beefy ex-cop with thin, slicked-back black hair on some of his head and a cheap toupee on the rest of it. The growl came through his nose, broken in six amateur bouts as a heavyweight and countless unofficial scraps in the back alleys around his old neighborhood in the Philly slums. “I’m looking for the United States, Frankie,and I know you can tell me where to find it.” 1 don’t know what you’re talkin’ about, Spade.” “No, well what if 1 just let the heat have my file on you and your operation, Frankie? There’s stuff in there that could send you to Leavenworth for eight to thirteen mininjum.” “OK, I’ll tell you what you want to know.” “Good, I said, “1 knew you’d listen to reason.” He gave me an address in what was once a fashionable section of town and said I’d find someone there who could tell me what 1 needed to know. 1 took a cab over, got out and climbed the stairs to the fourth floor. 1 stopped at the third door on the left and knocked. The door opened and I pushed in, frightening a girl, about 30-32 years old, good looking, wearing a man’s bathrobe. “What’s going on out there Clara?” said a voice from the bedroom. I went in and confronted a bespectacled,gouty old man in a dressing gown. “Hello, Dr. Franklin,” 1 said, “sorry for the intrusion, but 1 need . . . to he continued your help.” - population were thought to have the “God-given talertts” to complete high school. The enormous developments of social production, stimulated by the struggles of people for a better life, rapidly changed all that. It was not a change qf mind on the part of God, nor a sudden mutation in the genes of the masses of people that explains the enormous increase in intellectual “aptitudes” in the past forty or so years. Nor can either of these explain the present reversal of trends. The inflation that is bringing in gigantic profits for a few big monopolies is also cutting into the lives of most people, and racially oppressed people most of all. It is challenging their justly rising expectations for a better life, both economically and culturally. It is creating a crisis in the growth of higher education, and in all stages of the educational process. But if we are having difficulties, Shockley tells us that it is mostly because we were born that way, and that those who are facing and fighting against the greatest obstacles should never have been born at all. Mr. Morrow expects that 10,000 people would come to hear Shockley. But if we are sensitive to the reality behind Shockley, and not to some circus atmosphere that makes Mr. Morrow smile mischievously, those ten thousand would come to protest against Shockley’s racism and the irresponsibility of those who promote it (and pay how much? Shockley for it). The best way of “defeating Shockley’s racist appeal” is not to expose the racism on Shockley’s face or in Shockley’s mind, but to expose it in the - - reality of inadequate housing, crushing unemployment, job discrimination, unequal educational opportunities at all levels, and to expose it as the main tool that prevents the majority of the people, including students and faculty, from uniting to stop the assault against our living standards and cultural rights. I hope that the Student Association will look for speakers capable of making this kind of exposure. James Lawler Assistant Professor Philosophy - Friday, 19 July 1974 The Spectrum .

Miller Staff Writer Spectrum The Health Sciences Library will reopen in Stockton Kimball University Tower Hall Monday after moving from its crowded quarters in Capen. Occupying the basement and main floor of the old Tower Hall, the new. library will feature one large reading area, many studying booths, a student lounge, an audio-visual department, and a better working area for the staff, according to C.K. Huang, the Health Sciences Librarian. The library owns 150,000 volumes, one third of which are now stored at the Bell Science Library. While an attempt is being made to move back most of these materials to the new library, Mr. Huang is “not sure that there will be space for it all.” The library’s Capen location was described by Mr. Huang as “too small and too crowded.” With 1800 visitors on an average day and only 140 seats, “lots of people couldn’t find a place to sit” and — Money available... —continued dollars.” The maximum amount from page 3 — $2000 or less. The amount meets for these loans will be increased in the upcoming year. New York State has provided students who attend college within the state with at least partial tuition assistance through the Scholar Incentive Awards. However, as of the 1974—75 academic year, the Scholar Incentive Award is being replaced by the Tuition Assistance Program (TAP). Students will no longer be awarded on a flat scale of $100, 200, 300, etc., but will be paid on a graduated scale which includes any amount from $100 to $600. For most students at SUNY at Buffalo, the new TAP program will not greatly alter the amount of money received, Mr. Stillwell said. Private school students will benefit most from the program, and freshman will be eligible for a slight increase. The maximum will increase from $600 to $650. the difference between the TAP award and the tuition. The State University also has a system of partial tuition waivers where up to $100 of the tuition charge may be dropped, depending upon income. This University also has a limited number of scholarships available through the Financial Aid office, awarded differently according to requirements established by the various donors. often sat on the floor. In addition, Mr. Huang said Some are only for medical or the old library was “noisy,” lacking any “quiet area pharmacy students, while others at all.” are solely for the arts and for study sciences. “Generally, things look bright for the future,” Mr. Expansion The move was first considered in November Stillwell indicated. “While we have received some cutbacks due 1972 after the American Association of Medical to more schools applying for the Colleges strongly urged the University to expand the same funds, the future emphasis facilities of the Health Sciences Library.

Mr. The Regents College Higher Educational Service Corp., cited the computerized bibliography as an Huang Scholarship, based on a Mr. Stillwell added, which will The Health Sciences Library has access to example. competitive exam, is awarded to handle all the state aid. ‘The loan, two computer systems, MEDLINE and the SUNY and other programs approximately 10% of New York scholarship State high school graduates.

State University Scholarships are available to students in state schools, whose family income is Medicine in Bethesda, Maryland, has 250 stations; the network also has satellites in Alaska and France, and in other countries. Researchers can search through 2200 medical journals through the library terminal to find the most up-to-date bibliography for any medical subject. The network provides access to the ten thousand articles published per month and two million items published since 1964. The SUNY Biochemical Communication Network is run by the SUNY Central office in Albany and has three terminals at the Health Science Library. The library itself owns 3000 journals. Space a problem Two years ago, the University received a grant to buy audio-visual equipment, but the library had no room to install it. “Space is the major problem,” Mr. Huang stated. “At present, every inch of space [in the new library] is utilized and it still looks crowded.” Consequently, the second floor of Tower will be used to expand the audio-visual facilities, special collections, and reading facilities, and will be ready for use in 1975. The third phase of the move will be completed in 1976 when the Financial Aid Office, now located on the third floor of Tower, will be replaced by the Schools of Nursing and Health-Related Professions and the office of the vice-president for Health Sciences. Health Science students will “still be looking for a much better library in the future,” said Mr, Huang. The new library in Tower now uses 30,000 square feet of space, and will eventually have 70,000 square feet. The University’s Bell Facility, which includes the Bell Science Library, various academic units and branches of the Medical School, will be closed down when most of the Main Campus has moved to the Amherst Campus. Buildings vacated by the Amherst move will house these facilities. The Bell facility presently contains duplications of material at the Health Sciences library and is “convenient” for those health sciences departments on the Bell Campus. The facility is also used to store books belonging to the Health Sciences library. Ten thousand volumes are still there because no space is available in the new library. Joint effort The Office of Facilities Planning coordinated the move to Tower with help from the library staff. They are now in the process of moving 100,000 pieces of equipment, books, journals, etc. Mr. Huang stressed that “everything must go in the right We are putting together the collections for place the first time." His staff has had a lot of “headaches,” including damaged furniture and shelves. The move will take 21 days to complete because some equipment must be dismantled, moved, and then reinstalled professionally, as in the case of ( computer terminals. The Health Library is the oldest library unit, created in 1846. •T’he old location in Capen was built 23 years ago when the Medical School was smaller. In addition to serving six schools of the University Medical, Dental, Pharmacy, Nursing, Health-Related Professions, and Health Education the library is also used by the area’s 60 teaching and public hospitals. ... — KEEP IN TOUCH WITH THE FOLKS BACK HOME HAPPY BIRTHDAY — Subscription rates $4.50 per semester or $8.00 school year YOU KNOW WHOHII Page sixteen The Spectrum .

Monday Wednesday Friday - - — �Watkins Glen race weekend—hectic but exciting by Steve Serafin to a record 119.89 mph average while easily outclassing the other entrants in Sunday’s Formula 5000 feature. Despite the great promise shown by the Andretti-Parnelli Jones effort in its first two outings at Mid-Ohio Lola Spectrum Staff Writer For a couple of hard luck guys like Jackie Oliver and Mario Andretti, last weekend’s events at Watkins Glen were a welcome breath of fresh air. Not so much condensed two weekends into one. And that may have been too much! In the heat and the dust and the sun, the whole thing was just too hectic; there were just too Shadow when it was nothing more than a glorified roller skate! Andretti easily won his qualifying heat, starting from the pole after setting a new F5000 many cars needing too much practice and qualifying time in He beat Britain’s David Hobbs by more 15 lap qualifying record. than 44 seconds in the heat. Brian Redman, also of England, won his heat by a narrower 11-second margin over Ontario’s Eppie Wietzes. Blows an engine In the 20 lap Can-Am heat, Oliver breezed to an easy win over the ancient Ferrari 712 driven by Redman. Follmer's Shadow broke a shock absorber and prevented him from finishing, relegating him to 10th position on the grid for Sunday’s feature. Scooter Patrick’s McLaren M20 blew an engine and also failed to finish, leaving Oliver and a number of relatively high-placed backmarkers at the front of the grid. But the Six Hours was comical if not exciting. Matra has pretty much dominated this year’s Manufacturers’ Championship not many cars were even expected. But Alfa-Romeo showed up with two cars for Series, and Andretti-Arturo Merzario and Rolf St ommelen Carlos Reutemann, Jean-Pierre Beltoise and Jean-Pierre Jarier were in the - he’s getting used to and Mosport, the red and white after four years in chisel-nosed Lola failed to hold uncompetitive and unreliable together long enough to win the equipment.

In consideration of the energy crunch, the Glen management Star - racing Sports camps Athleticfacilities filled with learners Just as other departments keep the classrooms busy, varsity coaches at the University keep the facilities busy also, but not with regular “classes.” Clark Hall is hopping with summer sports camps, featuring many top performers and coaches. Leading off the summer was the fourth annua! Niagara Frontier Wrestling School, run by varsity wrestling coach Ed Michael. The summer wrestling was split into two one-week sessions, and featured as instructors two of Michael’s schoolmates at Ithaca College. Bill Layton, (Ithaca ’65), coach of wrestling at Binghamton North High School, is considered one of the finest authorities in amateur wrestling. John Sacchi (Ithaca ’66), coach of wrestling at Middlesex County Junior College, has sent Michael such standouts as Bill Jacoutot and Jim Young, helping him immensely toward his phenomenal 67-10-2 record in the four years he’s been at Buffalo. Tennis camp Currently filling the tennis courts at Rotary Field is the first annual UB Summer Tennis Day Camp, under the direction of varsity tennis coach Norb Baschnagel. Assisted by Bill Monkarsh (varsity baseball coach and assistant camp director) and Diane Hall (women’s tennis coach), Baschnagel has brought in some of the top names in local tennis circles. Rev. Bob Hetherington, nationally known net star and Pat McClain, teaching professional at the Buffalo Tennis Center, head the guest instructor list, along with Cornell All-American Durk Dugin and Buffalo varsity performer Paul Parelli. Baschnagel’s philosophy is to solidify the fundamentals before advancing to the finer points of the game. “We’ve got a full camp, and we’re using the teaching method where we work from the basics up,” remarked the former Buffalo cage star. Cage camp Rounding out the summer activity at Clark Hall will be the third annual Buffalo Bulls Basketball Day Camp. Varsity basketball mentor Leo Richardson has brought in some of the top area coaches for the annual event, numbering among them Frank Layden (head coach at Niagara University), John Morrison (head coach at Canisius College), and former Bulls’ head coach Ed Muto. High school instructors slated to assist in the instruction include former Bull assistant Terry Ransbury (Clarence Central) and Harvey Austin (East High). addition to the races themselves. On Saturday there were three heats and the Six Hours race. Sunday saw the F5000 and Can-Am features with a Super Vee race sandwiched in between. But still it was great the sounds and the smells and the cars themselves! And the people were there. Perhaps not as many as in years past, but mostly the hard-core racing freaks, many of whom probably remember The - No. 1 Matra, while Gerard Larrousse and Henri Pescarolo qualified their Matra on the pole. After one pace lap. Starter Tex Hopkins held up one finger signifying the cars were to go around for one more, but the first five cars took off like shots, apparently believing he was ready to show the green flag. Finally the whole field was blackflagged and the thing was started again, but not before the Matras had lapped the field! Jarier and Beltoise never had a problem as they won the event easily. The one remaining Alfa (after Stommelen’s practice crash in which he suffered first and second degree burns) was disqualified after it stopped on the course. The Alfa mechanics piled into a station wagon and sped to the scene of the disabled Alfa and promptly replaced a broken ground wife. But F1A regulations forbid anyone but the driver from effecting on-circuit repairs and the Alfa was booted from the race. On Sunday, Andretti never looked back and served notice that he’s the man to beat in F5000 now that he's got his mechanical problems sorted out. Redman followed Andretti home to the checkered flag by some 1 3 seconds while Hobbs' engine broke while he was lying 3rd, leaving third placej to Wietzis. Redman now leads the F5000 point standings with 35 compared to Andretti and Hobbs who are tied for second with 30. The main event, the fan-Am feature was largely uneventful as Olivet led from start to finish. Bui if Follmer. who started in the middle of the pack, got to second place in a big hurry, Mcr/ario in the Six-Hours Alfa got to 5th from the last row in an even bigger hurry. For a time it looked like he was going to make a bid to catch Patrick in 4th place and Arturo began to close the gap but then, suddenly he slowed until at one point he failed to come around. He just managed to limp across the line in 8th place at the end of the race. It looked like Follmer was going to give Oliver a run for his money as well, closing to within a second-and-a-half of the lead Shadow, but Follmer, who was suffering from muscle spasms in his chest, couldn’t stand the indefinitely, eventually pace finishing 26 seconds behind Oliver. Intramural action thriving in the long summer months by Dave Hnath mixed-doubles competition. Badminton and Volleyball were scheduled to begin this week on Tuesday and Thursday evenings, respectively. Squash, golf and paddleball competition are slated for action later in the / Sports Editor As we continue to move through the long summer months, the summer intramural program is rolling along at Clark Hall. Billed as “the most extensive sports program in summer session history” by the Intramural and Recreation News, the program includes planned competition in seven sports. The headline sport, part of every summer intramural program, is softball. Though the number of teams is down to 22 (from last year’s record 28), a resounding 350 students are registred, filling nearly every roster to the 20-man limit. The teams were once again split into two leagues, with the American League seeing Monday-Wednesday action, and the National League fighting it out on Tuesday and Thursday. The popular diamond action always seems to draw teams back with six of the ten American League teams, and eight of the twelve National League entries back from last summer’s competition. summer Softball report Five teams remain undefeated in softball competition. In the American League, the Warlords (6-0) look to be the heavy favorites, winning* by scores like 25-2, 20-0 and 45-6 (yes, softball!). SOM is right on their heels at 5-0, with Campus Police (4-1) the dark horse. In the National League, three teams are all running even, as the Statistics (4-0), Untouchables .(4-0) and None (3-0) squads have yet to drop a contest. Eight teams are within one game of the last two playoff spots, with OCS and Counselor Ed looking like the early favorites. The standings: American League Tennis popular The tennis bug has also struck at Buffalo with 32 entrants in the singles tennis tournament, the first of three court competitions slated this summer. Leading the way into the semi-finals of the tournament at this point is junior varsity basketball coach John Hill, who gained his way thus far by virtue of a hard fought win against varsity tennis coach Norb Baschnagel. Hill is joined in the semi-finals by Jay Vidockler, with the other two slots still open at the moment.

The Spectrum Page seventeen . �} ■■ It’s one helluva crazy scene at the local golf course Across the street from the Main Street campus is one of the most demanding golf courses in the country. No major tournament was ever played there and none ever wilj be. Touring pros don’t habituate the course for one good reason: one round a mere eighteen holes, would destroy their upset their timing and inflate their — handicap beyond belief. It’s not the unattended sand traps, the few scattered bunkers, or the long, flat, unattended fairways that make it difficult; it’s the distractions. Playing early in_ the morning or after dinner is synonymous with playing for free. Open access to the tees from either Bailey or Main makes it easy to enter gratis. You pay when you tee up; payment is in the form of a nervous condition that will plague you for weeks. You must either step arrogantly in front of an oncoming foursome or wait patiently until there is a lull and work your way onto the course without delaying anyone. quick file for divorce. There is no way to determine whether it will be the man or woman that leaves; it never has anything to do with the player’s gender. The on with the best score, be it man or woman, will always stay. Finishing off a good round and making a silent statement on the value of married life. Rounding the clubhouse on the 14th and 15th hole you are treated to the sight of a dozen friendly, over-fed hustlers playing cards in the shade. They considerately time their outbursts of laughter to coincide with your first putt, resuming their quiet only after you trudge on to the next tee. There you will notice innumerable balls flying overhead in a ' dtern • iu think alien to the outlr ■ of the specials), a pair of refugee dogs from the Norton Fountain area attack your golf bag. While one wrests your wool driver cover, the other lifts his leg on your four-iron mistaking it for a fire hydrant. That being the final indignity, you pick up the cursing under your breath desecrated bag and trudge to the next tee where you vow to earn a place in the Guiness World Book for the longest divot ever recorded. If you take your game as seriously as most part-timers do, you will have been humiliated. The numerous scapegoats make the experience as easy to swallow as the frosty draught beer waiting in the clubhouse. You learn a little something about the game of golf - - - Duffers That first shot is a hard one; one eye over your shoulder to spot the duffers behind you and the other fixed on the horizon as lookout for the park attendants. If you enter from Main you will probably start on the tenth hole where you must pay under the scrutiny of a half dozen commuters waiting on the comer bus-stop for their connection to Williamsville and points north, they’ve been known to applaud good shots. Likewise, they’ve been known to react to missed strokes with sustained whistling and seemingly uninterrupted glares. If you enter from Bailey, you play for an audience in the Veterans’ Hospital windows with the constant wail of doomed dogs in Capen Hall as background music. Further down the fairway, any shot just slightly off mark to the left will draw response in the form of a barrage of arrows. It seems that either an impromptu archery range was set-up on the course'perimeter, or a golf course was built around an old archery range. No one is quite sure which came first, but both sides defend themselves admirably: the golfers with an occasional slice into the bullseye, and the archers with periodic warning shots onto the 8th tee. Wife-swapping Fore some reason, the players directly ahead of you are always of a mixed gender. If there are four of them, they will inevitably slow you down, arguing with their respective mates. Then somewhere around the twelfth hole, they’ll switch partners and leave, having finalized an athletic wife swap. If there are only two people ahead of you, a man and wife, you’re in luck, since only one of them will ever finish out the 18 holes. One will invariably depart in disgust, accompanied only with promises of a Page eighteen . The Spectrum . Friday, 19 July 1974 course. Its only after you hit a perfect three-iron shot and come up pin-high that you realize the balls are coming from an impromptu driving range and landing all over the green. It doesn’t take long to realize that you’ll never find your own ball so you settle for one of the others, most likely one closest to the hole. Dogs . . .hydrants . ..

In disgust, you will have earned the right to play at one of the numerous private clubs in the locale where you can pursue your game with a seriousness out of proportion with the game's ultimate importance. The only alternative is to continue paying across the street and seek enjoyment despite the many pitfalls which will always remind you that you can’t leave the world behind by teeing up and keeping track of a handicap. �CLASSIFIED QUIET working female student desires WANTED 1 bedroom apartment within walking distance of U.B.

Not littered. Not strewn. Covered. I see the ghosts of those who must have been standing in the hot sun all day, hour after hour, just trying to get that seat, just a bit closer. Ross is already playing as we walk into the stadium, some kind of typical English heavyshit electric blues, trying to get people clapping with little success (with ~45,000 people, somebody’s bound to get into it). The big screen is flashing the names of Ross’ members, and I see a sea of people on the field, crammed together. It’s 7:00 now, the weather is pleasant, and Ross goes off. People are standing and stretching, breezes are blowing, the inevitable streaker runs across the stage and then has to pick his way through the crowd back to his pants. My friend has met an old friend and his girlfriend, and the four of us are drinking tequila. It’s not unpleasant to sit, watch the sun go down, feel the wind and look at all those other people. So many of them. A small city. Stevie Wonder music is playing and people are getting psyched, dancing around in place, rubbing their sunburns, checking out the action. Waiting for The Band Turns out the girlfriend has a pair of binoculars She is, in a word, breathless. —■-"—“Oh, I can’t wait til Eric comes on,” she says, ■clutching her knees. “And you know what? Somebody told me Crosby Stills Nash and Young might be here. Oh, I'd just die if they were here!” “Well, I hear they’re going to be in Toronto later this month . .” “What if,” her eyes are wide with excitement, “what if George Harrison shows up? Oh, God, I’d faint!” “Well,” I say, “Could I use the binoculars to see 'j , The Band?” “Oh, surfe, I jdon’t care about them, I’d much rather look at, Eric.” After a ran(g delay (setting up of equipment), The Band finally hits the stage. Off to a flying start, they’re jamming, just an instrumental, just great. They have a guest saxophonist who adds to thy excitement. Robertson is cool and collected, in his typically subtle get-up: a smartly tailored black suit with a black and white flowered shirt. All part of the image, baby. Ho hum. I think I’ll throw this little lick right in here BOOM! — Through binoculars It’s a good thing I have these binocs. I can see his fingers move. They’re the only indication of what’s coming out of those twenty megaton amps, other than his body, swaying slightly with the beat. His face looks, well, not bored, but not excited, just another show. That’s the4bing with Robertson. He’s dignified. He doesn’t jump around or make idiotic faces or contort his body he’s not a statue, either, but well, subtle. Like his guitar playing. (His best licks are in between vocal lines.) And his presence on stage adds to the excitement of his leads. Here are these really hot licks coming out of this very physically controlled body. If gives you the feeling of all this energy inside, contained, ready to break out. But the only way it ever does is through his — fingers. And The Band played on . . . Rick Danko is taking a break, running up and down the bass but never losing that incredible sense of pulse so the whole band keeps going all the time. Look,” my frieijd says, “Rick’s arm is in a cast “Naw. It must be an arm brace.” But I take another look. It is a cast. His right arm is in a cast up —continued on page 7— New York State drug law remains controversial by Sparky A Izam ora Campus Editor Since the adoption of New York State’s new drug law last September 1, state legislators and law authorities have been divided over its effectiveness in deterring the sale and possession of narcotics. Although former Govenor Nelson Rockefeller termed it “the toughest drug law in the country,” it will be a matter of time before the merits or demerits of the law are determined. Under the old drug law a person convicted of a Class A felony (the sale or possession of one or more pounds of herion, cocaine, morphine and opium) felonies, there has been an upswing in the number of 16 to 19 year olds facing mandatory life sentences. One 16 year old from Albany is currently serving a minimum sentence of four years for selling three $ 10 bags of heroin. Although the decline in plea bargaining and the resulting increase in the number of felony drug cases going to trial have quality, not quantity. But although the number of addicts there continues to climb, there has been a noticeable decline in street trafficking and the frequency of arrests has stabilized. Mike Amico, Erie County sheriff, also claims that local pushers “have definitely underground.” But despite a gone “decrease in available narcotics,” he feels Mr. Amico agreed that the number of dealers and drug possessors in Erie County who go to jail is about equal, and attributed the backlog in the courts to the fact that the possibility of life imprisonment has casued defense counsels to take their time. “It isn’t the fault of the DA or police,” he said. First-time offenders who do not go to jail within six months of their arrests automatically have their charges dropped, Sheriff Amico added. Although the new law was supposedly designed to “encourage” addicts to seek help in drug rehabilitation centers, Buffalo a prison term from 15 years to life. According to the new law, however, the Class A felony is divided into three categories: Class A—1, A—2 and A-3, each of Which can result in a maximum, mandatory life sentence. The Class A- 1 provision reduces the amount of dope a minimum of one pound to one ounce or more, while the A—2 and A—3 categories involve even smaller amounts necessary for conviction. could be sentenced to No plea bargaining The new law has severely restricted plea bargaining, which previously permitted a defendant to plead guilty to a lesser charge in return for supplying information on major narcotics distributors. According to Michael J. Brown, a Buffalo attorney, police may even be more “reluctant” to make as many arrests as before because those who previously got off with light penalties in exchange for information can no longer cop a plea. Because the lenient “youthful offender” provision no longer applies to Class A» “the little guys are usually the ones who are caught when they sell a little bag of dope to an undercover cop.” clogged up the already overburdened Governor Malcolm Wilson has decided to appoint only 36 of the 68 Claims Court judges authorized by the drug laws. courts. Quality arrests Originally, many observers expected New York City to be the hardest hit becasue its police department has concentrated for the past three years on limiting narcotics arrests by focusing on hard drugs may be back on the rise again.” Mr. Amico feels the present conviction rate of “95% or better,” or at least once a day underscores the effectiveness of the new law. Critics have charged, however, that the new law has virtually eliminated the distinction between a drug pusher and a drug possessor. “We should seek to make greater lines of demarcation between the sellers and those who possess,” Mr. Brown stressed. “Amico calls them pushers no matter what,” he emphasized, adding that State Senator James Griffin feels that narcotic centers “are the easy way out.” “It’s just a waste of the taxpayer’s money,” while jail serves as an effective deterrent for both pusher and addict, he argued. Strongly disagreeing, a spokesman for the American Civil Liberties Union described the law as “one of the most ignorant, irresponsible and inhumane acts in the history of New York State.” How can the state “expect every addict to seek rehabilitation,” he voluntarily queried. “The addict is not capable of dealing with reality, let alone his own reality. At least if he were given a chance before having a mandatory life sentence laid on him, he would be able to come to some important conclusions about his life.” Buffalo State Senator James McFarland feels the new law may have gone too far, although it still is “too early” to be certain. According to Mr. Brown, the new laws are “unenlightened, barbaric and just don’t make it.” �quarterly allocation is spent in six weeks, and in the remaining six weeks, all but dire emergency requests are denied,” says Talamini. Senator Abourezk’S staff reports “a backlog of people needing corrective surgery is now 20,000, including 13,000 Lack of doctors and money causes severe health problems for Indians - children.” Tliere are more than two hundred cases where surgery has been advised at the Rosebud Hospital, but put off because of lack of money and space. Only seventeen beds are available in the hospital, and it is at 100% capacity virtually all the time. Each doctor sees as many as 50 out-patients a day and the clinic is always crowded. Yet forty miles away there is an empty clinic, closed for lack of staff and The Rosebud Sioux reservation in southwestern South Dakota has the highest tuberculosis rate in the entire United States. Hepatitis is eight times the national average. One-third of all children on the reservation have developed hearing problems due to untreated ear infections. One-third of those older than twenty suffer from diabetes or gallstones. Alcoholism affects 22% of the people and their suicide rate is three times the national average. And the quality of health on the Rosebud reservation is the rule, not the exception, for Indian reservations across the country. “Our Indian people did not have these sichnesses until non-Indians came,” said one Rosebud Sioux. “1 think we Indian people have paid for this in the past and I think we’re paying dearly for it today.” The inhuman neglect of health conditions among Native American peoples is acute, and the federal government is at the bottom of the problem. The Nixon Administration, in fact, has impounded funds for Indian health care four out of the past five years. money. “By impounding these funds, a lot of our people are not able to get the kind of surgery or even treatment in diagnosis,” said one man, “and so they have to just go without. And many people I know have died because of this lack of attention on the part of the government, tying money up.” » 7. Saturday II patient care million more is needed, with suspected. Long overdue anyone in this country should have to live this way when we can send billions of dollars in foreign aid to other countries and yet forget our own Indian people here in the United States.” Unemployment runs as high as 70% in most towns on the Rosebud reservation, and in one town of more than 700 people, only twenty are working. of the nation “In the Aberdeen 1J5 D ] area alone Senator Abourezk’s staff reports, “60% of the buildings being used by 1HS have been declared unfit for use by state inspectors. For example, the Rosebud Hospital was constructed in 1914, and has been condemned even by 1HS, but for lack of funds they will have to make do.” In Claremore, Oklahoma, there is an Indian Health Service hospital. But it has just 35 beds to serve some 33,000 northeastern Oklahoma Indians. Thus the - • Many of the people live in old shacks or log cabins. Mr. and Mrs. Frank Newholy live 50 miles from Rosebud. There is no heat, electricity or running water in their house and they keep warm by burning firewood in an old makeshift stove. Mrs. Newholy is 65 years old and has suffered from gallstones for twenty years. Doctors Corrective surgery say this is the result of a lifetime of poor nutrition. She takes medicine and endures her pain. To supplement this the hospital is alloted $373,000 Ao contract health services in other hospitals. “Often our hospital must treat most patients facility,” says Director JOHNNY'S ELLICOTT GRILL featuring THE THUNDER BLUES STYLISTS EVER Y FRIDA Y & SA TURDA Y NITE 395 Ellicott x S - comer of Genesee $1.00 Admission on an out-patient basis only. “Last year we saw 3 8,000 out-patients in this crummy The Blues as you like it!! . the one year delay in instrumenting the program, if finally got started only after Senalof Hubert Humphrey went to court to release the funds.

Take for instance the special food program to be carried out by the U.S. Department of Agriculture. Designed to provide fresh milk, eggs and proteins to pregnant women, babies and young children, doctors hoped to see whether a better diet would improve the health of the reservation residents. And most of the 492 doctors now assigned to the Indian Health Service (which is under the Department of Health, Education and Welfare) were which recruited from the military draft ended one year ago. “Some 200 of our doctors will be finishing their tours of duty this June,” said Dr. Jim Felsen of the Indian Health Service (IHS), and “we are understaffed as it is.” At the Rosebud reservation, four of the six doctors there left on July 1. “If we had been unable to recruit the three physicians that we expect on duty about July 1st, it would be an unmitigated disaster,” said one man at the Rosebud Hospital. “We’d have to close our doors.

The incidence of tuberculosis among Indians is eight times the national average unless they are treated soon, there is a real danger of the disease reaching epidemic Low pay, long hours and poor medical facilities make it difficult to attract new doctors into rural native communities. In addition. Dr. Everett Rhoades, vice-chairman of the Kiowa Tribal Council and one of the only 38 Indian physicians in the United States, told the subcommittee on Indian Affairs that the isolation, coupled with the lack of opportunity for “professional growth” and a lack of good housing, recreation and schools, adds to recruitment difficulties. Doctors, it seems, do not like to live like Indians. Living conditions on the reservation are miserable and inextricably tied to poor Indian health. “It’s really unbelievable when you go into some of our Indian homes and acutally see how our Indian people have to live,” said one Rosebud Sioux. “I think it is a crime. I do not think i Impounding health The SI 5.5 million Epidemic Live like Indians ? > ROSEBUD, South Dakota (LNS) Thomas Talamini. Because of impoundment and legal and bureaucratic red tape, the special food program was not started until three months before it was to end. Finally, after Senate hearings, it was suspended for a year. All of these decisions were made in Washington. “We work for the people,” said one woman on the reservation “We work with the people. We know the needs of the people. We’re aware of all the problems. They should get with us and you know, ask us the way it is.” Some Indian groups are attempting to recruit more people into health services to supply personnel needs. The Navajo Health Authority, for instance, has been - established to create a medical school on the reservation. Other recruitment programs are being handled by the Association of American Indian Physicians in Oklahoma City, and the American Indian Mental Health New Careers Project in Minneapolis. “How long are we going to sit in the waiting rooms, watching white doctors and waiting for services,” asks Annie Wauneka, Navajo tribal council member. “1 think we need to train ourselves now.

Speaker’s Bureau Chairman Stan Morrow wouldn’t tell this to everyone.

This time, though, Stan Morrow had a great answer and he knew it. “Who’s the most controversial speaker you can think of?” he satisfaction Stan, you’ve got “Whew asked.

Still, Shockley isn’t coming, at least not for now. guts.” Mr. Morrow will admit to being stubborn, but not stupid. He knew what happened at Staten Island Community College, at Yale, at Columbia, what almost happened at New York University (NYU), and he was not going to let it happen here. and then turned his attention to a decade’s study of genetics. As a result of his research, Dr. claims to have Shockley established that blacks are genetically inferior in intelligence to whites. (The theory is only minimally comfortg to white racists, however, becuase orientals be may genetically more intelligent than whites.)

The worsening crisis in higher education “forced us to consider some unified and collective response,” said Barney Oursler, an organizer for the group. As an example, Mr. Ousler cited pressure from the central administration to scrap the French department’s 50/50 graduate-faculty governance by-laws and replace them with “an all-powerful chairperson,” responsible directly to Flayes Flail,” In addition, because of an alleged lack of uniformity in the distribution of funds to teaching, research and graduate assistants part-time instructors and “others, the artificial and real divisions must be addressed, added organizer Bill Gilchrist Ellicott problems explored by campus representatives Campus Editor Representatives from the Student Association (SA), Student Affairs, Facilities Planning and Housing met Monday evening to discuss the opening of the Ellicott Complex on the Amherst Campus this September. Bob Burrick, Chairman of the Sub-Board I’s Division of Energy and Resources, felt there had been “no general mass type of communication” between the various groups and hoped a new “insight” would be gained from the discussions. ‘Peak’ classes Much of the meeting centered around the question of transportation for residents of the Ellicott Complex. In order to service a huge influx of students to the Main Campus during “peak” class hours, A1 Dahlberg, Assistant to the vice-president for Facilities Planning, announced that there would be a more even distribution of classes during the day. These “peak” hours are from 9 a m. until 2 or 3 Thursdays. While few scheduling p.m., Mondays changes have been made for classes in September, Mr. Dalhberg appeared confident that “it can be worked out.” - questioned whether Ellicott Mr. residents would be “encouraged” to take shuttle buses, instead of driving to campus and jamming the already-crowded parking lots. John Telfer, vice-president for Facilities Planning, indicated that funds were presently “not adequate to do all that is necessary in the area of busing.” Next year’s buses, he said, might not run late enough at night or often enough on the weekends. Several departments of study will set up on the Ellicott Complex to study these and other student problems, Mr. Tefler stated. “We may come up with a few problems, but if we keep these to a minimum, we’re doing very well,” he Burrick said. Bubbling over Another topic of discussion was the Bubble, the recreation center that will be located on the Amherst Campus. Howie Shapiro, SA Student Affairs Coordinator, indicated that bids were now being taken for construction of the Bubble. The Bubble will be approximately 120 feet wide and 265 feet long, Mr. Tefler reported, and will probably have an asphalt surface due to the high costs of the other materials. It is unknown whether shower and locker facilities will also be included. Dwane Moore, Facilities Planning coordinator, mentioned the possibility of getting students to help staff the Bubble, but Mr. Shapiro contended that provisions for students to staff the Bubble had already been provided for in the athletic budget The opening of the Bubble will be delayed until the end of October or “by the time the weather changes,” according to Mr. Moore. cHear 0 The Amherst lake The location of Lake LaSalle near the Ellicott Complex was viewed as a potential hazard by Messrs. Burrick and Shapiro. “Signs weren’t up last winter,” said Mr. Shapiro, “and you couldn't tell where the lake ends or begins.” A lake advisory committee had previously been appointed by Mr. Tefler to study the matter and set up rules for the utilization of the lake. These rules prohibit several activities, including swimming and boating during the summer months and skating and snowmobiling in the winter. After Mr. Shapiro re-stressed the importance of better safety precautions, Mr. Tefler expressed concern for high school and junior high school aged children who might “run away from home to the lake.” However, referring to the safety of college students living on the Ellicott complex, he questioned “how far the University should go when you’re dealing with adults.” Although he feels the lake will be a “tremendous asset” after all the construction is completed, Mr. Teflei was aware that the University would be liable in the event of a tragedy. While most of the discussions centered on the potential problems of Ellicott, Cliff Wilson, assistant director of Housing, maintained that the one-year old Governor’s Complex “will still be the problem because of its isolation.” Mr. Tefler felt it was essential to organize a committee'to carefully study all of the problems of the new campus, adding that such a group would probably have to meet once a week “at least in the beginning. With some kind of mechanism to recognize the problems,” he reiterated, “we could minimize the problems.” We Grew Our Own SNOW PEAS AND THEY'RE READY!11 Edible Pod Snow Peas delicious delight for Gourmet A cooking.

At the same time, they have petitioned the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to begin hearings on whether to ban the No-Pest Strip and other vaporizing devices. Millions of Americans are exposed to the No-Pest Strip and are continuously inhaling DDVP, a substance given off by the strip which acts on the nervous system. ‘The strip has not been proven safe, and substantial questions about the toxological effects of the strip remain unanswered,” asserts the Health Research Group (HRG), citing the following effects of the No-Pest Strip on human health: - Under a recent ruling by the US Immigration and Naturalization time obtaining summer jobs than in the past. According to the new guidelines, foreign students must be approved for work by the US Immigration and Naturalization Service only after they have demonstrated that their •'conomic status warrants summer employment. The ruling came amidst xpectations of a limited job market. Formerly, universities themselves had the power to approve .ummer employment for foreign students, according to Joseph F. Williams, Director of the State Univeresity at Buffalo’s Office of Foreign Student Affairs (OFSA). The National Association for Foreign Students Affairs (NAFSA), of which the State University of New York is a member, has appealed the ruling on the grounds that the new procedures for securing employment are too time consuming and will prevent many foreign studentf from finding jobs. Service, foreign students are having a more difficult Equal opportunity A reason for this stricter protection of the US job market is the “belief that foreign students should be [entirely] self-supporting,” said Mr. Williams. The goal of education should not be to educate the sons and daughters of the well-to-do, claimed Mr. Williams, but to educate anyone who is interested. Although the OFSA’s funstion is to help foreign students settle into their “new” community, and to see that things run smoothly while they are in the United States, Mr. Williams said its work will be hindered by the new ruling. The Office was designed to offer a wide variety of services, including housing, immigration advisement, and summer placement. The contact between the student population and the OFSA is probably more than that of any other office on campus. “It is a Dean of Student office for foreign students,” Mr. Williams added. Noting that the University “was disappointed in the action taken by the US Immigration and Naturalization service, he said revoking the ruling will be a “long, arduous process.” Shockley... -continued from page 3— dimensions of academic freedom. yield to forces that I can’t A decision to bring him to this control.” “I don’t want to be accused of campus could have unlimited repercussions. promoting a riot just so I can attract 10,000 people,” he said. “Pure suicide” “I’m forced to cancel.” So Mr. Morrow had to proceed carefully.

It is still undetermined what long-term effects result from prolonged exposure to the strip, like possible loss of memory, or chronic central nervous system disorders. Its mutagenic effect: chemicals in the No-Pest Strip are capable of causing gene mutations in animals, plants and bacterial systems. Its effect on the respiratory system: exposure to the No-Pest Strip has resulted in increased airway resistance (the difficulty in moving air in and out of the lungs) in test subjects. This condition is especially serious for people who smoke or who suffer from respiratory diseases such as asthma or bronchitis. That the public should not be continuously inhaling a chemical potent enough to killing flying insects has consistently been the position of the Public Health Service and various state medical officials, and they have strongly opposed the US Department of Argriculture registration of the No-Pest Strip on these grounds. Nonetheless, the No-Pest Strip was registered in 1963 by the USDA in proceedings which indicated substantial influence on � AND ANTIQUE JEWELR* Conflict of interest Conflict of interest charges were brought against three USDA employees influential in the registration decision. Roy T.

Mitchell Zavon was simultaneously a consultant for Shell and the USDA Severe disorders The EPA files have documented numerous “accidents” which resulted in severe physiological disorders. Thus, the Health Research Group and Consumers Union are stressing the need for “immediate action.” Even if their petition is accepted, it will be many months until views are solicited and a decision made on whether to hold cancellation hearings.

Leary, chief of the registration committee’s pharmacology section, overrode his employees in recommending the registration of the strip. Shortly thereafter, he became a Shell employee. Despite these links, the Justice Department discontinued their investigation of the conflict of interest charges, failing to give any reasons. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has also shown itself unwilling to take strong action in regard to the strip. Rejecting a petition in 1968 for a food tolerance for DDVP, they only required that the restriction be put on the label to disallow the use of the strip in kitchens, restaurants or near food handling establishments. However, misuse of the No-Pest Strip is common. It has been frequently observed near food as well as in hospitals, also forbidden.

The first year of his second term was disastrous for President Richard M. Nixon. His Administration was racked by scandals. See WATERGATE. His Vice President was forced to resign under pressure. See AGNEW, SPIRO T. A public outcry followed his firing of the Special Prosecutor created by Congress. See COX, ARCHIBALD. This encyclopedic excerpt makes it clear that the daily headlines of the past two years have already become history. Our children will study the issues and memorize the dates just as we were schooled in the chronology of World War II, which was everyday reality to our parents. Most important, the current impeachment inquiry has prompted a re-examination of crucial concepts in the fields of law, the Constitution, history and journalism. Since the act of impeaching a President is a constitutional concept, the controversies it has generated revolve around the very meaning of the 1789 Constitution. What is an impeachable offense? Predictably, layers for the President have construed an impeachable offense as narrowly as possible, contending that only criminal acts render a President liable to removal from office. However, many legal experts regard impeachable offenses as any gross abuse of a public trust. A President has powers that ordinary citizens do not, they argue, and the impeachment clause is therefore a check against abuses of purely Presidential powers. In other words, there is no criminal law against secretly bombing Cambodia because this is an act only a Chief Executive can commit. Indictment before impeachment? The Constitution motes that the penalty for impeachment and conviction is merely removal from public office; the removed official is still subject to criminal indictment. This is presumably to prevent a legal double jeopardy. But the Framers were not specific as to whether a federal official must be impeached before he can be indicted. James St, Clair argues that a sitting President cannot be indicted for a crime until he is impeached and removed from office. He is therefore challenging the Watergate Grand Jury’s right to name his client as an unindicted co-conspirator in the Watergate cover-up. That jury wanted to indict the President, but Special Prosecutor Leon Jaworski urged against it not because he was positive it was impossible, but because he did not want his prosecution to get bogged down in a controversy over this issue. Unless it sidesteps the issue, the Supreme Court will rule on the President’s criminal liability this month. Another consitutional concept being scrutinized is the separation of powers doctrine that the executive, legislative and judicial branches of government are co-equal. The President has invoked the his code words for it are “executive separation of powers argument in refusing to surrender tapes privilege” and “a strong Presidency” and documents for court proceedings. The outcome of the landmark case of United States v. Richard M. Nixon should offer an interpretation in an area where vitually the only precedent is the fuzzy one of President Thomas Jefferson v. Chief Justice John Marshall in , Reciprocal justice “Can we honestly believe that if we don’t extend justice to these men we can have justice for ourselves,” Mr. Clark stressed. The system of justice, he explained, is based on the notion that some people are good and some people are bad. Such a system denies the existence of a common humanity and until that changes, Mr. Clark charged, there will be no chance for equality in this land. Preparing the defense of the Attica indictees has been an uphill battle. The $7 million spent by the state for prosecution greatly exceeds the money raised by the defendants since most of them are poor blacks. Not a single prison guard. Department of Corrections official or stale trooper has been indicted, despite their show of force in reclaiming Attica nearly three years ago. The defense has had to rely primarily on voluntary contributions of time, talent and money. Requests ‘that the stale pay the legal fees of the defendants, who were in the state’s custody at the time, have fallen upon deaf ears. Mr. Clark, defense counsel for indictees Charles Pernasalice and John Hill, discussed the financial and social strain inflicted on the former convicts because the unwieldy grand jury system took so long to reach a conclusion. Because many of the former inmates are from New York City, they have been forced to travel to Erie County for the grand jury hearings and numerous preliminary court appearances. This has made it extremely —mcniece Ramsey Clark difficult for them to maintain family ties or hold down jobs. Due process? “How could the grand jury investigation take fifteen months,” asked Mr. Clark. “All the facts were confined to the prison itself, and no witnesses were lost, except to death.” Many former inmates are bitter because they did not even know when they were supposed to testify or what they were indicted for. Mr. Clark recalled a 1931 New York Times headline heralding the opening of New York State’s newest correctional facility: “New Prison at Attica to be Convicts Paradise.” “That’s an utter falsity,” he charged. “I’ve been to prison in Chile, in California, and in New York and one is as bad as another. No prison is a humane place.” The former Attorney General’s primary appeal was for community concern and involvement. Other speakers talked about more specific areas of concern. Fair Jury Project Director Beth Bonora cited statistics outlining the irregularities of the Erie County jury pool in which women, students, and minority groups were grossly under-represented. Later that day, County Judge Gilbert King ruled in favor of a motion presented by the Fair jury project, striking over 1000 names from the county’s jury pool. That number constituted everyone who had qualified for the pool prior to January 1, 1974. The favorable decision was a significant victory for the Attica Brothers Legal Defense which sponsored the Jury Project, but jury selection was only one facet of the Attica trials. The irregularities of the grand jury hearings, which failed to indict anyone except inmates, and the problem of state financing, which has placed a heavy burden on the defense, still remains. — - - - 1803. Courts vs. the President There are really three aspects of the controversy. First is the President’s responsibility to surrender evidence in a court proceeding. Here the Supreme Court must weigh the balance between “executive —continued on page 12— Friday, 12 July 1974 The Spectrum . . Page five �DITORIAL Treating addicts like criminals In the last 10 months, the warped New York State drug law has only heightened the massive narcotics problem. With a possessor of two ounces of heroin now subject to the same mandatory life sentence as a person who sells a pound or more, the distinction between user and pusher has been blurred beyond recognition. While narcotics racketeers ontinue to singlehandedly prey on thousands of lives, the ;ourts are being clogged up by small-time users trying to avoid life sentences. A sharp decline in plea bargaining has made the commercial trafficker even more invulnerable to the legal process, and isolated addicts from opportunities for rehabilitation. Buffalo State Senator James Griffin's belief that narcotics centers "are the easy way out" and "a waste of the taxpayers money" is unfortunately quite typical of the current feeling among many lawmakers. This throw-them-in-jail mentality has arisen from the naive assumption that addicts do not want help because thay have not utilized state rehabilitation centers. How the state can expect every addict to voluntarily seek rehabilitation is almost beyond comprehension. Instead of branding socially maladjusted drug addicts common criminals and locking them behind bars for several years, legislators must realize that many hard drug users have lost touch with reality and must therefore be guided toward drug centers, where they cen begin the long journey back toward normal lives. Protecting society simply by getting sick people off the streets completely ignores the underlying social problems that cause drug addiction, and shields the big-time drug dealers, who are the ones most directly responsible for inflicting miseries on thousands of people. Scrutinizing racism William Shockley has again been silenced. Fears that his appearance here would provoke an emotionally-charged, TRB detente; perhaps the hardest. You remember that after the Khruschev visit in 1959, Ike was scheduled for a return visit to Moscow; they had even built a golf course for him. But just before the Paris Summit the visit was shot down with the American U-2 spy plane, and Ike never got to Russia. It delayed detente 15 years. Next came Lyndon Johnson’s proposed visit to from Washington July 9, 1974 Leningrad in 1968 when he was supposed to discuss limitations of social contacts with millionaire farmer Roswell Garst of Coon Rapids, Iowa, were never formal; the only time I met him was 15 years ago when he threw raw ensilage at me. He had visited Russia in 1955ybnd now in 1959, 300 reporters and photographers were traveling with Soviet Premier Nikita Khruschev around America and heading for the great Garst Thomas hybrid corn showplace. Farmer Garst supplied the press with eight pages of advance information; “when corn is down to 30% moisture”, he explained, “it has reached maximum which was good to know but unlikely dry weight” to grab a headline. hadn’t Garst reckoned with the Mr. self-defeating press mob that boiled about him like a heard of rampaging heifers and he vented his irritation with weapons of opportunity, including corn cobs and over-ripe vegetables while Nikita grinned. Dignified New York Timesman Harrison Salisbury got kicked. All of which indicates the difficulty of detente. Farmer Garst still works for detente. Just before last week's Moscow summit Senator William Fulbright inserted some letters into the Congressional Record written by Garst to the Soviet Embassy here, a continuation of a 19-year crusade; “You have fertilizer, we have food”, he said, “Why don’t we get together?” It sound wonderfully simple and sensible. There are echoes of that in the message My * strategic arms with Kosygin; he didn’t the Czech issue came up. That brings us down to today, with the temptation to oversimplify matters in the Garst formula. Actually, it’s hard to think of a situation that is so confused 6r so likely to get more so. Here is a highly unpopular president urging us to be nice go - to a highly unpopular adversary at a moment when we must decide on impeachment which will be highly unpopular either way. Almost any expression of opinion is apt to be misinterpreted. Readers know that this column can restrain its enthusiasm for Mr. Nixon without any great effort of will, yet in this instance, we support him. We expect he will exaggerate what he got from Moscow and fb try to use it to his political advantage. But just the same, if there is a way to reduce tensions with Russia we’re for it. It was Seantor Fulbright who cited the Garst letters in a powerful speech on the floor the other day, and he noted that enemies of Mr. Nixon on this issue were not liberals but conservatives. With a flawless sense of timing,” he charged “the enemies of detente have chosen the moment of the President’s departure for Moscow to fire a few broadsides at his policy.” Fulbright is hardly a friend of Mr. Nixon; he has just been defeated for renomination and is probably bitter, yet he supports the Nixon-Kissinger detente policy. He detects something that looks like a GOP mutiny in the Pentagon. Paul Nitze, former deputy Messrs. Nixon-Kissinger bring back. Mouth-watering American technical know-how, secretary of defense, member of the SALT of course, in agriculture and industry is what Russia negotiating team (and a sincere public servant) wants now. Russian fields are so far north that only abruptly resigns just before the Summit, accusing about 10 or 15% of the corn raised in the US can Kissinger of softness; Defense Secretary Schlesinger, mature there. Even with special hybrid Garst strains friend of Nitze, talks tough about the Soviets’ missile the Russians won’t be able to raise crops the way the power; Senator Jackson (D. Washing), presidential American cornbelt does: there is a probable vast aspirant who is liberal at home and a hawk abroad, attacks Kissinger, and skips over for a private summit continuing Russian market for American grain. And what American corn farmers want, farmer in China. Garst points out to Soviet Ambassador Dobrynin It is almost as trying for us to support the just before last week’s summit, is Russian nitrogen Soviets as to support Mr. Nixon. One of the most for fertilizer. The Soviets have an abundance of shocking *hings we ever saw on television was the natural gas. Four-fifths of the air we breathe is abrupt cut-off of U. S. commentators in Moscow by nitrogen, but factories use natural gas to Communist officials last week as they tried to manufacture it, to “fix” it. broadcast the results of the Summit. Wouldn’t Spiro “Nitrogen fertilizers are the thing we need most Agnew have loved that trick or the whole Watergate in the USA,” said old farmer Garst, reminding crew for that matter! We deplore the Communist Dobrynin of the things he showed farmer Khruschev emigraton policy. Senator Jackson’s amendment in Coon Rapids in the 50’s fattening cattle, for would de-bar Moscow from getting example, with ground corn cobs and molasses, and non-discriminatory tariff treatment unless it permits the techniques of fertilizer, insecticides, herbicides, unrestricted Jewish emigration. We fear the move is and the amazing American farm machinery. . self-defeating. Senator Fulbright’s Foreign Relations To farmer Garst things are simple and direct; Committee will thrash it out this month. “Stabilizing forget submarines and think of herbicides, push aside the peace is our own overriding interest”, Fulbright metaphysical MIRVs and contemplate, the warns bluntly “and it is too important to be megatonnage of soybeans! That’s the way you compromised by meddling even humanitarian develop hybrid corn, and world peace. At least, meddling in internal Soviet affairs.” that’s today’s message from Coon Rapids, Iowa. We missed detente in 1955, and again in 1968 How nice it sounds. Alas, Nixon-Kissinger return Certainly we must not pay too high a price for it to a poisoned world. We are up for a third test of But it’s still the best hope in sight. controversial atmosphere made a number of faculty members reluctant to publicly rebuke Shockley's theories in a panel discussion, and forced SA Speaker's Bureau chairman Stan Morrow to cancel the program. Additionally, some faculty were reportedly reluctant to particpate in a debate in the presence of hundreds of excited students who were incapable of following what they considered to be highly technical discussions. It is unfortunate that student paranoia, coupled with a fear of controversy on the part of faculty, will probably prevent Dr. Shockley from ever speaking at this University. We vehemently oppose the Shockley theory that blacks score lower than whites on IQ tests because they are genetically inferior, and his warped, Nazi-mentality plan to sterilize persons of lower intelligence with the aid of cash incentives. But for precisely these reasons, continued efforts should be made to bring Dr. Shockley to Buffalo so he can be heard and rebuked by scholarly opponents. The attempts to silence Dr. Shockley at Staten Island Community College and other institutions have exposed the hypocrisy of those who claim they oppose the "fascist tactics" of the Nixon administration. Too often, the very same individuals who preach freedom of speech and cry out against censorship are themselves guilty of censorship. They argue that the government exploits people's emotions through fear, but demonstrate the epitome of a double standard when theyshout down Shockley for "feeding" the public "bad ideas."

Eric has always been known to give everyone else a generous chance at leads and breaks, and his condition ("I'm lousy when I'm drunk," he says at one point), it is not surprising that he lets guitarist George Terry take a lot of the licks, Terry is obviously greatly influenced by Clapton, but he nevertheless pulls off some really fine ones, and I'm sure he'll show up on his own considering soon. Let's try and forget who we're dealing with Band, considered as a whole, is extremely good. Carl Radle is the best free-lance bass in the business, and Dick Sims on keyboards and Jaime Oldaker on drums are both very together musicians. Tight and punching, competent, dynamic, versatile. Seems to me that's what Clapton's after these days. Not just Eric the star, but a complete O.K. for a minute. The sound. Who? The girlfriend is beginning to froth at the mouth "Oh, I can't wait till Clapton comes on Ohhh . Give a kid a break Yvonne Elliman is a great help. She has just the right voice for Clapton's music. Deep, full, throaty, raunchy. Perfect for songs like "Tell the Truth, Little Wing, Blues Power" and "Willie And The Hand . I'm not gonna tell her that he just has. He plugs in and starts playing, although no one hears him (the idiot sound men haven't hooked him in yet). . .but just before she leaves . . ." (a new voice singing harmony with Rick and Manuel) "...she receives . . ." Ah, he's on the air now, you can spot that tone a mile away; he's taking the break. For the first time, The Band is smiling. Robbie has a wide grin on. By the end of the song, Rick and Robbie and Eric are in a circle, playing with and to themselves, hugging each other as it ends. Most of the crowd knows by now and The Band goes off to riotous applause: from my seat it looks like waves rolling across the sea of people. " . Stage fright? And consider this. The knowledge that every time you appear (which hasn't been for three years), people are expecting the best, the absolute best guitar playing in the world. Who wouldn't have to be smashed to face 45,000 of those people? Clapton's stage presence throws me totally off just standing guard. He's known for his reticence and playing. But tonight he is incredibly extroverted. Cracking jokes, flirting with Yvonne, laying down for a while (while he's playing), chastising the people who are setting off firecrackers he really is putting on a show. — — Sunheroes and rock stars Another 45 minute wait, I'm reading a book to pass the time. Briefly, it describes Earth after the Desolation, returned to a primitive culture based on fertility rites. Every year a "Sunhero" is appointed. With the help of grafted on antlers which pump tons of hormones into his body, he goes from town to town, servicing the hundred or so most beautiful virgins in each one. He gets a bandstand welcome everywhere he goes, and all the girls stand around, looking at him, panting, drooling, and so on. So I'm reading this book, looking at the crowd, looking at the girlfriend. At the book. At the girlfriend. Whoever wrote this book must be a veteran of large rock concerts: I don't see much difference. Because Eric is finally announced (by this Tiny Tim type), and she goes into ecstasy. Mind you, she didn't even recognize him before. Pavlov would be proud. Anyway, she is an accurate meter for a great deal of the rest of the crowd, which is screaming, yelling, jumping up and down and fainting (shades of Elvis!) Slow start “Ellooooo" (he drawls). "Thaaaank Vooooou." Very much to his credit, Eric starts slow with some '30's tune like "Till There Was You" doing a — very mellow rendition. Then another mellow tune, this one from his new album called "Let It Grow.” He's playing an acoustic (a Martin 00 28, for those who care), and so is Yvonne Elliman, an excellent female vocalist (pfaying a Martin D35, for those who don't). "Let It Grow" is a very pretty tune, good three part harmonies. As he steps up to the mike, the obvious becomes manifest. "I'm drunk and ready for trouble." Adopting a stance which he will return to many times, that of leaning his left arm over the horizontal part of the mike stand, (resting on it), looking all in all as if he was leaning over the back of a chair, he announces the presence of a guest star. HotLicks "We have a guest tonight. He's a musician. He's lover. He’s a guitar player. He’s big. As big as they come. And if you don't know his name, you don't deserve him. He name is Freddie. Know him?" Freddie King comes bouncing onto the stage, fat and solid looking. They go into a medium tempo blues, trading licks. I must say, it certainly is not Photos by Allen The one thing that turns me off is that Tiny Tim creep. After "In The Presence Of The Lord," the band goes into a rock and roll medley (cutting off Yvonne who is just beginning a vocal solo, by the way. I don't know whether that was a planned joke or not.). This guy comes on, starts dancing around with the guitar, and goes into a Townsend number. You know, smashing the guitar and flinging it into the audience. I know it's a goof, but what's the point? One more time That's the end of the set, and here comes the encore. Eric kind of knows he's gotta give 'em one more piece of himself, something to send them home with. He steps up to the mike, leans on it, and says almost sheepishly. "Now I'm drunk and I've been chewing this guitar for three days, so what you get is liable to be a (fuzzy)? bit . . It's "Crossroads." About half tempo from the Cream version. And he's right. It is a bit. . anybody else, you'd say, "wow, that guy is really fantastic!" But it's Calpton up there, so you have to say, "Well, I've heard him play much better." . How can anyone escape from that? �'Parallax View' Conspiracy Assassination The investigative efforts lead to "Parallax Corporation" by Tom Lansing Staff a certain Spectrum Arts whose business Parallax View is a powerful piece of film. Produced and directed by Alan Paluka, it is billed as a suspense thriller. It goes far beyond that; it joggles the American conscience and imparts a sense of uneasiness. Dealing with such topics as The investigative reporting and assassination, the film is not simply timely re: Watergate and the battle over freedom of the press. It also has a certain timeless quality. The political assassination portrayed in the opening sequence is the "renting out" of assassination services to mysterious "clients." Even more shocking is just how above ground this corporation is. It is not a fragmented underground mob. Its regional offices can be clearly found in a building's office among thousands of other run-of-the-mill businesses. So now we have the situation where an obvious conspiracy is involved. If you think this is directory brings back disturbing memories of the Kennedys and Martin Luther King Jr.; the victory turning to tragedy and the turning to screams are all The events are fixed firmly minds no matter how — cheers there. in our much time passes, they remain an obscene memory. What proves to be most disturbing is the next scene in which a solemn committee is its findings about to read concerning the assassination. The erroneous conclusion is that there was only one person in the assassination (who consequently was killed in the case which followed), and that he was definitely not part of a conspiracy. We know this is wrong, since we saw two people put their guns away right after the shooting. The conclusion of the committee rings a bell; one no conspiracy. The assassin Warren Report. Journalist The similarity does not stop here, either. Three years later, an inverstigative reporter (Warren Beatty) launches an effort to uncover the real story after he discovers that seven known witnesses to the shooting have died mysteriously; the last being a friend (Paula Prentiss) who came to him for help with the knowledge that her life was in danger. Sounds like the series of deaths which occurred involving witnesses to the JFK assassination, doesn't it? r what films billed as thrillers are all about? Warren Beatty suspense is cast meticulously well as the blue-jeaned, independent, investigative reporter, Joe Raley. Beatty's mannerisms and appearance radiate the quality of toughness and relentlessness inherent in Joe's character. It is extra-important that he does as well as he does since the film is not as much of a team effort as the placard listing several co-stars would have one believe. Paula Prentiss barely allows us to have a glimpse at her before she is lying in the morgue, and Hume Croyn, as the ever toiling newspaper editor, is used sparingly to confirm his reporter's determination in the face of opposiiton. Thus, it is really Warren Beatty's film, and it is he who almost single handedly carries the show. And, Finally One more comment. There has much talk in different corners concerning The Parallax View being no more that a been "paranoia thriller." Though this is some doubt left that what should happen actually may not. By leaving the door open for the a certain extent (for after all, who can feel completely at ease with the idea that assassinations are the result of a world wide conspiracy), it does not seem likely that this was the screenplay writers' (David Giler and Lorenzo Semple Jr.) primary purpose. The structure of the story circles around the initial commission report. Although the action may sometimes wander, it continually comes back to discredit the commission. Thus, the commission and not paranoia-assassination should be looked upon as the topic of the film. For that matter, it comes out as nothing less than a direct indictment of the Warren Commission and the public complacency which accompanied it. Instead of being labelled as a work in paranoia, it would be (which sometimes sensational unfortunately approaches the far-fetched), Paluka has injected a successful degree of uncertainty in the film, and after all, isn't that more appropriate to call The Parallax View a vehicle of earnest frustration. Now showing at the Holiday 5 Theatre and the Seneca Mall. true to beginning to sound like that farce of a few months ago, Executive Action, you are right. However, while the premises of the two alike, films sound rather Executive Action tried unsuccessfully to depict itself as a factual story, while The Parallx View does not try to make any such fantastic claims. Its conspiracy comes across as pure fiction Suspense Producer director Paluka has kept away from turning the action into a tiresome parade of predictable events. There is almost always s’eokweS Artpark features new show concept The opening season of the Lewiston Artpark, extending from July 25 to September 12, will center on two different concepts of artistic presentation. One is the widely publicized series of concerts, dance events, and plays that will be presented there this summer. The Artpark will also be operating on artists-in-residence program, featuring “artists of national importance whose is focused less on product than on process, and invites work the participation of Artpark visitors.” More on this in a minute. The "gala international premiere" of the Artpark will be Thursday, July 25 at 8:30 p.m. Appearing will be Ethel Merman, Cicely Tyson, Edward Villela and Allegra Kent, Maureen Forester, pianist Malcolm Frager, and the Buffalo Philharmonic conducted by Michael Tilson Thomas. These people will be presenting what the Artpark calls “a salute to the arts in New York State and the historical significance of the Niagara Frontier." The concerts begin on July 26, with Miles Davis performing at 7:30 p.m. and Gordon Lightfoot at 10:30 p.m. Other contemporary performers include Blue Oyster Cult (Aug. 1); Richie Havens and the Daryl Hall and John Oates Band (Aug. 4); Commander Cody and the Lost Planet Airmen with David Bromberg (Aug. 7); and Don McLean and Roger McGuinn on August 8. ... Philharmonic Most of the other musical events at Artpark will be handled by the Buffalo Philharmonic. James Conlon conducts the orchestra on July 27. On August 3, Bobby Short joins them in an evening of Cole Porter, and Van Cliburn performs Tchaikovsky with the orchestra on August 6. Unless otherwise noted, all of the above concerts are at 8:30p.m. The Artpark's artists-in-residence encompass many areas of creativity. Many of them are architectural and sculptural artists who will be creating environmental works, either outdoors or on a large elevated boardwalk called the ArtEI. Poets Emil Antonucci, Robert Lax, and Anne Waldman will form a "little press-in-residence." Instruction in Drench gourmet cooking will be provided by Colette Rosant, and Hanne Tierney will be conducting puppet shows and children's classes in puppetry. Many of the artists-in-residence will be participating in the "Artpark Anthology," an event of dance, drama, films, and music from 5:20 a.m. July 28 till 5:23 a.m. July 29. A complete schedule of Artpark events, with ticket prices and directions to Lewiston, can be seen at the bulletin board on the first floor of Norton Union across from the candy counter.

Instead they took their time, gradually building, adding more harmonies (including some sweet singing by organist Gayle Moran) until the Sbund was almost deafeningly loud, and full (there you go). McLaughlin and Jean Luc Ponty on electric fiddle played off each other in the middle, while drummer Machael Waldon did spiralling work. He's a different person from the band's last drummer, Billy Cobham, who was always driving hard and straight and great. Waldon circles around the rhythm, closer to the style of that great sage of the skins, Elvin Jones. Michael did a ten minute solo, and a usually withdrawn McLaughlin was clapping along. That says a lot about where John is these days His playing is more relaxed and mellow, though he's still capable of those climbing runs that propel the rest of the musicians on. He's even (even?) using more of the guitar in his Devotion album way — oh HENDRIX! McLaughlin said Hendrix and Charley Parker were the two greatest musicians of the century. I think big deal, but it's nice to know. John seems kinda fatherly on the stage, which is necessary f to keep such a big group of talent (I forgot: two trumpets) happy.

The best part of the evening was realizing that these musicians turned us freaks on with all sorts of sound, quiet and explsive, with great ability instead of mimicry which gives me hope, and that for all the yeas and nays, McLaughlin is still a full stride ahead of the rest of the pack (with innumerable bows and nods to Miles Davis).

The Spectrum/Prodigal Sun . Page nine �Attorn' Magic Lantern with a man whose nose is slit. Incidently, it is Polanski in a cameo role who plays the hood who slits Gittes' and plays well by Jay Boyar — In 1972, director Roman Polanski made his film version of Macbeth. Beautiful and imaginative, it peopled the Silver Screen images with of mangled, — shnoz. |K g ■ inhuman Lush images of violent death warred on screen. This horrible universe, I feel, is the one in which Polanski lives created by his distrubing imagination and bizarre life. Polanski could depict his world vividly because he knows it and, obviously, hates it and, probably, loves it. He showed a cinematic glibness in revealing that world, like a victim's detailed and terror-struck description of his first traffic accident. This praise not withstanding, Pauline exactly put Kael in The New Yorker her finger on what was the matter with Polanski's Macbeth: Ramifications of this scene are also effective. For the rest of the film, Gittes is encumbered by puffy nasal, gauze. Often, wearing the bandages, round sunglasses, a slick suit, and a cool fedora, he looks a lot like a wierd, miscolored version of the Green Hornet. Mmmmmw creatures. — — — — — have been removed, even The movie does not, perhaps, show more slaughter than other movies, but there is nothing to balance it. It is a winter world at sunset. People cut each other up and watch, smiling, fascinated, as dogs tear a bear apart. . The Faye as Mulray In the role of Mrs. Mulray, Faye Dunaway does a good job when she doesn't push too hard. It's a very demanding role; is she not only the widow of a murder-victim, but in the course of the film, she must enlarge her character to include everything from Gittes' lover to his employer, to his prime suspect, to his rescuer ("Frankly, Mrs. Mulray, you saved my a . . . neck.") She must be both a person suing Gittes, and his intimate That is where he grabs us. To us, that link is slightly fantastic and a bit of a dirty joke, but it does actually exist and Polanski goes far to add a sense of reality to it. The film is set in a clear and indentifiable era the 30’s aind he places this image of specific time-fixing in our heads through the opening credits. They are photographed on a background of slanted lines of variegated greys which evoke the 1930's. The clothes styles, auto designs, and dates parlance are not mere nostalgic shlock but, rather, serve to provide the film with a vigorous sense of reality. Further realism is added by setting the film in Los Angeles, and by developing the political and geographic situation of the area as points of departure. Using these aspects of "our" world, Polanski seems distorted. Slightly curved camera lenses are often used. Odd character groupings are seen. John Alonzo's gorgeous photography makes most of the scenes look nicely artificial in spite of the reality of setting as if Polanski had vacationed in the real contrasts physically. . Present tense 1974, comes Polanski's in Chinatown. Perhaps he's read the criticism of his Macbeth and has taken it seriously in any event, he's looked deeply into his mind and assessed his gifts. His response is Chinatown. Now he knows that his terror-world is just too much too consistantly. The obvious solution would be to include scenes of "normalcy" for contrast, and to relate his world to our because his point of view is so own. But he cannot convincingly nightmarish portray "normalcy." At first, it would appear that, as an artist he was stuck, due to the extreme nature of his vision. There was a way out; a link between the horrifying reds of his world and the pacific blues of ours. There are purples and both he and his audience can see them. his Sitting in his nightmare-world Chinatown he shows us how he sees that middle-ground. And since it is also a part of our world, we recognize and sympathize with it. Once we're hooked on his bait, Polanski gives us a little play in the line and then painfully reels us from the shallow purples water onto the harsh red sands. We are dragged on our bellies into Chinatown, and we lie there on the tragic beach without air or a prayer and this time we really feel like we're there it's because of the preparation he's taken to catch us and draw us in. He makes us share his vision. Now, — ‘ — confidant. Once she asks him about his days as a cop in Chinatown: Mulray: Did you wear a uniform? Gittes: Sometimes.

With all this to handle, it's not too hard to forgive a little — Los Angeles and brought back postcards to his nightmare world. Every frame of the I wish you could see color "stills" movie from the film has those harsh vivid colors of a postcard, or murky shadows of a bad dream. Slowly, using this unreal photography as a wedge we are pulled farther into Polanski's mad Chinatown. — overacting. But, to be fair, when her overly throaty lines are coupled with Jerry Goldsmith's — — — Star sleuth As sleuth J.J. Gittes, Jack Nicholson hopes to pull us further into the nightmare. Nicholson has a way of sizing up a role that is . . . well, refreshing. He seems to look at his past, his ambitions, his the character regrets and from the "givens" of the script, fashions the most surprisingly outlandish character that is consistent with the story. What emerges seems at first to be something of a cartoon character. If the roles Nicholson played were secondary characters there would be nothing special about this method of characterization. The script wouldn't tell us much about the character, so, unless we had great imagination, the character would remain to us cartoonish. And that would be fine since we usually don't demand much realism or depth from a minor character. But Nicholson's roles of late tend to be starring roles, so when we see what initially looks like a shallow cartoon character in the lead, we are simultaneously amused at — — — — — Analysis Let's look more closely at how he does it. His first step is to find a link between our world and his. Seamy and distasteful, the tawdry beat of the gumshoe who is hired by jealous wives to spy on their unfaithful husbands this land is one such link. It is one of the dirtiest corners of our world and one of the cleanest in Polanski's. — sometimes obtrusive part of background music, it is the worst — his antics and disappointed with his apparent shallowness. Then, as the plot unfolds, we learn more about the character's past and see that he really has depth and that the cartoonishness is actually part of a good and full blown characterization. Nicholson is wonderful at providing these surprises. More than this as in most fine performances, there remain to the end facets of the character he plays that are not quite explained. In Chinatown, the result is a mixture of the normal and the bizaree. Nicholson and — the otherwise terrific Chinatown. Even with a film that allows for a degree of stylization and irony, a line must be drawn somewhere. Still, Dunaway manages to look intriguingly oriental despite the fact that she is and plays a Caucasian. In fact, all the actors in Chinatown , Caucasian and oriental alike, fulfill the film's theme in taking on an oddly oriental appearance. Chinatown concept When Joseph Heller expounded the scriptwriter "Catch-22,” he may have crystalized in a phrase a concept central to our culture. It is the concept that the normalcy as a contrast. powers-that-be arrange the system through guile so that even if it's clear that something is unfair, the rules are just too tricky to allow things to be set straight. Robert Towne subtly emphasize one or the other to pull us into Polanski's nightmare, or to provide some Screenplay Towne's unsettling. script is witty, ingenious, and At one point, Nicholson, at Gittes, is caught by gangsters while he is snooping around where he shouldn't be. Instead of a typical Polanski bloodbath, a short hood sticks a knife inside Gittes' nose quickly cuts outward. You can actually feel the cold steel blade as it tickles the small hairs of Gittes' nose, and you keep feeling it as it rips through the flesh. There can be no strong empathy with a decapitation victim, but there certainly is and notion of Robert Towne’s notion of "Chinatown" a close relative of that concept. "Chinatown" is that realm where the structure is so horrible and illogical, so incorrigable that you just have to accept the frustration that will come in trying to fight it. Chinatown is what an amputee must feel when he sees people dancing. Chinatown is how millions of Jews died in gas chambers. Chinatown is why there'll never be justice with Watergate. There are simply certain aspects of life that nothing can be done about. The trick is to recognize a Chinatown as such. I haven't mentioned the rich portrayal of Mrs. Mulray's father by John Huston; actually there's a lot I haven't talked about. But then, I expect this already too is long. The film ends in Chinatown, where Polanski has been all along. The detective story is worked out but in contrast to in spite of the most such stories resolution, there can be no justice, "Jake" Gittes must be content to do "as little as — — possible." "Forget it, Jake," says a friend, "it's Chinatown." Plug Chinatown is showing exclusively in this area at the Holiday Theater complex.

The Spectrum/Prodigal Sun Friday, 12 July 1974 . �Outside Lpojdng In by Clem Colucci Editor’s Note: This column is the first in a series of occasional adventures of that ace private detective, Marlowe Spade. There are two doors at the end of the corridor with Marlowe Spade Private Investigator peeling gilt lettering. One of them I keep open during business hours. The other is always locked. Almost always. As 1 walked down the shabby third-floor hallway to my office, I was in no mood to see what 1 saw. The second door, the one I always keep locked, was open ever so slightly. I shook my head hard. It hurt, but it helped clear the fuzz that had accumulated in my brain after a rough night wrestling with a bottle of bourbon and losing. No good. It was still open. 1 pushed my battered felt hat back on my head, a .357 Magnum that would blast a pulled my gun half-inch hole in a rhinocerous at 50 yards and crept up beside the door. 1 crouched low and threw myself at the door, throwing it open and landing on one knee with my gun aimed at the back of the' swivel chair behind my desk. Slowly, the chair turned and I faced a tall, elegant mulatto woman in a simple, low-cut green dress and a tan shoulder bag that looked like it belonged to the kid who delivers the Sunday Times. “Good morning, Mr. Spade. My name is Sally - — - - Hemmings.” She said it as if it should mean something, and 1 played along because the name was familiar, I stood up and bolstered my gun. This is probably a stupid question Miss said goodbye and walked out the door. I watched her slink down the hall until she turned the corner. It looked to me as if she covered more ground moving sideways than she did moving forward. I opened the envelope. I was supposed to meet a man named Jefferson at Herby’s, a dismal little bistro I used to frequent, at 10:30 that night. Jefferson. Something clicked. Sally Hemmings? Jefferson? It couldn’t be. No, it was just a coincidence. Still, I had a whole day to kill so I went downtown to the library and photocopied a facsimile of the Declaration of Independence. I took it and the letter to Hymie Zimmer, a fat, bald, chain-smoking little man who does all my handwriting and document work. “It checks,” he said. “Are you sure?” I asked. You could have knocked me over with a copy of Bobby Breen’s latest hit album. “Positive,” he said, “Put it on your bill?” Hemmings,” I said, “but what are you doing here?” “Do you have a light?” she asked, ignoring my question and pulling a pack of Luckies from her bag. I some paper boy was crying was still convinced somewhere. “Sure.” I took a lighter from my coat picket and reached over to light her cigarette. “Now how did you get in here? I demanded 1 was still bent over her as she took a deep drag on her cigarette and said: “1 have my ways.” From where I sat she certainly did a great set of ways. Murray the super was a pushover for ways like hers, and he could easily have been persuaded to let her in. She blew some smoke in my face and brought me back to business. “Sorry,” 1 said. “That’s all right,” she answered, "I don’t do things unintentionally. But let’s get to the point.” I’d almost forgotten there was one. “You’re a private detective?” she asked. 1 cracked. We “That’s what it says on the door private eyes are supposed to do that says so on the - “Yeah,” I said and walked out. I didn’t think 10:30 would ever come but it did and I got off the bus in front of Derby’s. Derby’s is a sleazy little place where I hung out through my misguided youth. Derby was in the kitchen, which was fine with me - I could never stand him. Nicky, the addict sax player, waved. I went to the rear table, as told, and saw my client through the smoke and dust. He was tall, about 6’ 1 ”, sandy haired, thin but broad shouldered and nervous looking. He wore a rumpled coat and slippers and you’d swear he had a headache. He saw me, stood up and held out his hand. license ‘Cute,” she replied icily. “Are you any good? The best,” 1 answered. That’s on the license too “Well, the party I represent can’t afford to be choosey. You’ll do if the price is right. What are your rates? I was about to tell her the truth, but thought better of it.

I was ready to come down when Miss Hemmings spoke. “Will two hundred a day and expenses do?” It did. She gave me an envelope with instructions Hello,” he said, “my name is Thomas Jefferson to he continued The Pete Hamill Column by Pete Hamill into the system from the beginning, on the The New York Post Corp. theory that if you robbed land you would have to rob men and women to work the land. In New York, the soldiers of the revolution came home from the fighting to discover that they could not even vote unless they owned property; it took Aaron Burr and the foundation of Tammany Hall to temporarily thwart the Men of Property. Alexander Hamilton was the spokesman of the Property class. But Burr got control of a bank, and allowed loans to groups of returning soldiers which would allow several families to own a single house; only then could the survivors have that free vote for which so many had bled and died. One of the better days in American History was when Burr blew Hamilton out of the earth; he did not, however, kill Hamilton's hard-line belief in business and oligarchy. The revolutionaries fought in a fury, coming down off Monument Hill in what is now Prospect Park, battling down Third St., standing for a few bloddy hours at Fifth Av., and still the British kept coining, the red coats like flags of triumph. Washington ordered a retreat and they fell back, some of them beaten, other skittery with panic, until they reached Brooklyn Heights, and the long boats that would take them to safety, to fight again on the other afternoons. The American Revolution was fought here. It was betrayed here too. And looking back now through history, with Richard Nixon the inheritor those years, it becomes more clear than ever that the American dream was in trouble from the beginning. The Revolution was fought by the men Wolfe Tone called The Men of No Property; Jefferson, Hancock, Madison and the rich merchants and farmers did not fight in Prospect Park or Valley Forge. That fighting was done by foot soldiers. Instead, the patricians waited, and when the Revolution was won, when the nation had achieved independence, they moved in like sharks. They were the men of property, and they intended to own America. They did a good job. They built slavery � � * All of it has followed from there. The Civil War resolved very little in the end, because it created the great fortunes of the Robber Barons, complete with a mythology to sanitize their crimes; Horatio Alger was their press agent, telling tales of great gains made through hard work and “pluck”. They talked a lot about “free enterprise,” which usually meant that a factory owner was entitled to a worker’s enterprise fee. They created a bogey out of socialism, in the one country where a democratic form of socialism might have worked In the modern era, nothing much changed Franklin Roosevelt was probably a great man. if you place hime beside a Nixon, but essentially he worked through the '30s to make America safe for corporations. The whole welfare apparatus of the New Deal served to head off a revolution and protect the property of the rich. The whole growing apparatus of the 20th century media, radio and films and later TV. was owned by the people of the Property class; they made of it a form of bread and circuses, which is why we have had a least four movies about John Dillinger and not a single movie about Eugene V. Debs, nine films about AI Capone and not a decent one about Thomas Paine, or Sacco and Vanzetti, or Carlo Tresca. The Corporation does not encourage doubt. Those corporations control this country more now than they ever have, as the Fuel Crisis showed, as the obscene profits how, as items like the Wheat Deal or the Lockheed Loan show. In some ways it is now worse, because the federal government shares in the financing of corporations like Lockheed, but the company will earn private profit. Our taxes make the rich richer. That is why it would be wrong to think of Nixon as an aberration. He put the government up for sale all right, and served the interests of the people of property, but that is a tradition that goes all the way back to the founding of the Republic. Harding, Hayes, Collidge, Eisenhower, Lyndon Johnson all believed in the same basic notions. In 1972, even George McGovern felt constrained to lake out a $21,000 ad in the Wall St. Journal to tell the people of property that his new tax program was not* any different, really, from the programs of Eisenhower. The news that Hubert Humphrey and Wilbur Mills took corporate donations in 1972 is not surprising; they are simply the left wing of what Ovid Demaris calls the Property Party, as the Republicans are the right wing. � � � So there will be a lot of jingo rhetoric tomorrow at picnics from coast to coast, and maybe even a prayer breakfast at the White House where they can pray for the souls of the faithful departed. But the message should be: forget the past. The past we were taught in school is a lie. The only hope is to look to the future, hoping even against better judgement that the coming days will bring justice. Maybe then we can have the kind of country all the foot soldiers battled for across Prospect Park, on the revolutionary killing ground, so long ago.

Page eleven �Watergate... —continued from page 5— the confidentiality of Presidential documents and privilege” communications and the “best evidence” rule, the court’s right to every man’s evidence. Federal Judge Gerhard Gesell repeatedly threatened to throw out the case of John Ehrlichman and the plumbers in the Ellsberg break-in trial if the President refused to allow Mr. Ehrlichman access to his own White House notes. A key factor in U.S. v. Nixon is naming of the President as an unindicted co-conspirator for this supplies prosecutor Jaworski with the argument that a President may not withhold evidence in a criminal trial if his own guilt or that of his close associates is at issue. In such an instance, Mr. Jaworski argues, the President cannot be the final arbiter of what evidence he will release. — — - Jaworski v. Nixon A second aspect of the controversy regards disputes within the executive branch. Mr. St. Clair argues that because Mr. Jaworski is technically a subordinate of the President, he has no legitimate right to subpoena the President of evidence. The Special Prosecutor counters With several arguments. One, it is true the President may fire him, but as long as he has not done so, his right to sue for evidence remains unimpaired. Two, the President cannot dismiss Mr. Jaworski without the approval of several Congressional leaders, as agreed when Mr. Jaworski succeeded Archibald Cox. Three, the courts long ago stopped viewing the executive branch as one monolith. The Special Prosecutor’s charter explicitly states that he may go to court to seek evidence from the President, and represent the United States in any court proceeding. Therefore, a refusal to allow the Special Prosecutor to sue for evidence because he is technically a Presidential subordinate would make a “farce” of his role, as Mr. Jaworski has already argued. Congress tries to reassert The disputes between the executive and legislative branches transcend the impeachment inquiry. The growth of the postwar Presidency has seriously upset that balance, and Congress has recently taken steps to try to restore its role as a co-equal partner. When Presidential impoundment of funds infringed on Congress’ power of the purse, Congress went to court; after losing every court battle, the President has agreed to abandon impoundment. Congress’ recent approval of legislative machinery similar to the executive’s Office of Management and Budget, to enable Congress to consider the federal budget as a whole and set responsible spending priorities, hopes to alter a situation in which Congress has been a virtual rubber stamp for a budget prepared by the President’s arsenal of experts. The most dramatic executive-legislative confrontation, of course, has arisen in the impeachment inquiry. The President has cited separation of powers as his rationale for refusing to obey subpoenas for evidence by the House Judiciary Committee. But most legal experts agree that the House has overriding authority in an impeachment inquiry, that separation of powers is suspended in this instance to provide a legislative check on otherwise-uncontrollable Presidential abuses of power. This overriding power of impeachment is why Congress has not gone to court to enforce its subpoenas; it does not want to blur its sole authority by involving the judiciary. The House an even stronger claim to the evidence than does Mr. Jaworski, yet the President’s refusals have so far produced only nasty letters, a warning about “negative inferences” regarding the withheld evidence, and a threat that the non-compliance may be included as an article of impeachment. The outcome of this classic constitutional struggle will determine the authority of Congress in an impeachment inquiry for generations to come. Plea bargaining scrutinized Non-constitutional aspects of the legal system have also come under the public microscope recently. The system of plea bargaining, by which a defendant can plead guilty to a lesser charge than the one he is charged with, saves the state the cost of a trial and assures a conviction. But the method has been heavily criticized in the Watergate trials as many defendants have gotten off leniently. Columnists have satirized about defendants lining up outside the Special Prosecutor’s office to get a plea bargaining deal and a free toaster. Similarly, the field of journalism has also come under fire in recent years. The controversy over whether a journalist must reveal his confidential sources in a criminal investigation is the journalistic counterpart of the President’s battle. Whether the press is an objective chronicle or an advocacy force is an age-old debate suddenly revitalized. Many credit aggressive investigative reporting for unearthing the truth of the Watergate scandals. Others blast the media for its liberal bias and see it engaged in a partisan conspiracy to discredit the President. The media’s ability to make news by covering an event r- giving rise to so-called “media events” like the 1968 Democratic Convention or to destroy news by ignoring it is a modern phenomenon. The media’s right to instantly “analyze” a Presidential speech is questioned, as is the President’s right to instantly dominate the media at his desire. The reporting of “leaks” and unattributed “well-placed sources” has also been questioned. Some claim it is treasonous for the media to report government secrets; others see it as a vital function of a free press, offsetting the often-excessive secrecy by which the Government suppresses politically embarrassing information from the public. In all these areas law, history, the Constitution and journalism the current impeachment crisis is forcing a wholesale re-examination of old values and forging new concepts. Tomorrow’s history books will record the outcome. > — — Page twelve . The Spectrum . Friday, 12 July 1974 - Greenfield St Restaurant for the vegetarian delights by Michael Silverfolatt The limited lunch menu will include sandwiches, Contributing Editor soups, salads and beverages. The main dishes vary (there are two or three daily). My particular favorites are the ratatouiile (a Provencal vegetable and cheese stew) and the eggplant parmesan. The quiches are rather good, but the rice and grain dishes vary in quality. Rice and grain, if overcooked, or re-heated, tend to become porridge-y. The stem-table set-up at the restaurant is conducive to this kind of over-cooking, but the workers at the restaurant assure me that this situation is being rectified. Permanent hot main dishes include a very nice vegetable cheese omelette ($1.50) and stir fired vegetables ($ 1.00). Fresh orange juice is squeezed at the restaurant, apple cider is brought in. A variety of teas are available. Desserts are very special and several of them are Any restaurant opening in Buffalo is a major event; a reasonably priced and pleasant restaurant is a cause for celebration. Recent months have revealed good Greek food at Buffalo’s hidden eateries Yianni’s (1495 Genesee Street), Japanese food at the Tempuri-Ya (2987 Bailey Avenue), a German kitchen at Troidl’s (2 Schreck Ave), inexpensive, — well-prepared American food at The Yellow Basket (379 Grant), and extraordinary roast beef and sandwiches at The Butcher Shop (26 Virginia Place). All of these restaurants are reasonably priced. Restaurants we’ve heard about but not tried include: The Polania (a Polish restaurant at 193 Lombard), Scotty’s (an Italian restaurant at 526 Busti Avenue), and Manya’s (a Russian restaurant at 427'Elmwood Avenue.) Places like these, along with delicatessens like Mueller’s (3370 Bailey the thickest take-out sandwiches anywhere in the city), make Buffalo a surprisingly varied city as far as its restaurants and foods go. These restaurants are hardly new, but Buffalo is a hidden city. Fine, cheap restaurants are they have to be sniffed often found on side streets out. The Spectrum would be pleased to be informed about additional reasonable, interesting restaurants in Buffalo. - - Greenfield Street Probably the most exciting restaurant to open in recent past (say in the last four years) is the Greenfield Street Restaurant. A vegetarian restaurant, it offers a wide variety of dishes prepared Buffalo in the prepared daily. Apple crisp (this critic’s favorite), cocoanut nut bars, banana cakes, chocolate cakes, pies and puddings are available as well as fruit salads, melons, and ice cream (Breyer’s). I don’t think I’ve been in a vegetarian restaurant where the food has been as satisfying. Vegetarian matters I spoke to the workers at the restaurant about vegetarian cooking. They gave clear reasons for vegetarianism as a way of life (most meats available are unhealthy, polluted or poisoned in different ways), and corrected some of the misapprehensions about vegetarian diets (it is easy to maintain a healthy diet without eating meat. It is not difficult to maintain protein levels, etc.). They recommended two inexpensive books: Diet for a Small Planet by Frances Moore Lappe (Ballantine Books $1.25) and the less theoretical Recipes for a Small Planet by daily. Its salads, its soups, its daily selection of main courses, and its delicious fruit and pastry desserts make it the best place to eat in the city. Ellen Buchman Ewald (Ballantine $1.50). Coming from the University heading towards Asked about plans for the future of the downtown on Main, Greenfield Street is on the right, restaurant, they expressed the possibilities of three blocks past Amherst Street. Since a one-way street going (as usual) the wrong way, it is easiest to reach it by car by making a right onto Amherst Street up to Greenfield. The address is 25 Greenfield Street. The restaurant is run cafeteria-style. A large menu lists the day’s selections. One orders, then sits at a Table in the sunny, large, unusually shaped eating area until one’s food is ready. A complete meal can run anywhere between one and three dollars. The Greenfield Street Salad is an especially good buy. It is the house salad featuring (the menu advises) ‘the works’: tossed salad, lettuce (no iceberg), nuts, raisins, cheese (Kutter’s, a delicious Amish cheese), eggs, tomatoes, sunflower seeds, chickpeas, olives, home-made croutons and alfalfa sprouts. The price for this large salad (it’s a meal in itself) is currently $1.50. about Greenfield is after-hours coffee-house singers, cabaret, and poetry readings.

The first, “Hangman’s Reel” of all things, features the above-mentioned Allan Stowell working his ass off without generating very much excitement. It’s followed by “a song about passenger pigeons,” an unpromising intro for a truly beautiful song about love and nature and all those other things that don’t always produce kitsch. After that comes “Jetembocooh,” a Cajun-styled rocker by Jack Bonus that clashes somewhat with the established mood. Then it’s back to the studio for “Sweet Mahidabelle,” another Bonus song that wraps things up in a rather gentler vein. RECORDS John Herald, John Herald (Paramount) Instead of trying to place this in context of the “folk scare” of the 60’s, I’ll just say that John Herald was part of it, as a member of the Greenbriar Boys bluegrass band, and leave it at that. Since then, he’s been kicking around, doing this and that. I remember his appearance at the first Buffalo Folk Festival a couple years ago; specifically, I remember fiddler Allan Stowall’s rendition of “Hangman’s Reel,” which wasn’t bad. The act in general struck me as being pleasantly laid back, mostly free from superfluous flash. The eleven songs on this album, eight of which are Herald originals, come across the same way music that you can listen to and enjoy, without having to concentrate on hot licks. It’s a very friendly record. “Fire Song,” the opener, has something of a story, about a stove that sets the house on fire because the cooks are off balling in the bushes. But its main purpose is to make you feel at ease with Herald, with the music itself. Which it does — it’s well done and comes across very nicely. “Getting Happy” will have you doing just that; it’s a brilliantly daffy freakout, an irresistible euphoria generator. The days of Jim Kweskin may be over, but the feelings can certainly be found again. “Pretty Eyes” has rather bizarre lyrics; the refrain is a Randy Newmanish “I’m stalkin’ you, Pretty Eyes.” It gets by on an awfully pretty melody and a restrained, tasteful arrangement. Herald’s singing weaknesses, primarily his thin voice, are apparent on the Van Morrison-inspired “Josie Jo,” a vibrant rocker which would be great if it clocked in at 2:30 instead of 4:04. “Jack Elliot” is the best song Herald will ever write. It’s a manic paean to Brooklyn’s answer to Woody Guthrie “that most unusual down-home beautiful giant of a natural gang-bang animal gentleman." Rolls along is what it does, like a muscatel-crazed Wabash Cannonball. But, damn it, Herald sings too fast and too indistinctly, and those idiotic instrumental breaks near the end almost spoil the entire thing. On to Side 2. “Minute to Moment” is Caribbean fluff that 1 was barely conscious of having heard after it was over. And would you believe that a song about a crippled vet coming back home could be touching instead of cynical and/or tasteless? Well, “Brother Sam" pulls it off. 1 could nitpick about the fact that most of Herald’s writing isn’t really that inspired, that another album with as many originals as this one wouldn’t stand up. Or I could tweak your nose for trivia by mentioning that former WBFO engineer Larry Alexander is the assistant engineer on the album. But what matters is that the album will be heard and liked long after the critical comments are forgotten. John Herald makes good music. What else counts? Bill Maraschiello - — - The Move, The Hest of the Move (A&M) What do the Bee Gees; Beach Boys, and Monkees all have in common? A cruising, foot-stomping, juke box listening subculture. Don't you remember all the groovy times sitting with Mary Lou and the gang in the soda booths, drinking the uncola and playing tunes? Of course you do. But today we have “progressive” music, with nioogs and synthesizers making it much more complex. Yearning for the simple life, those good old days? Well, let me get you back in the groove with The Move. Yep, they’re back. Those British rockers whose talent was stifled in America have released a double LP of a collection of hits, entitled The Best of The Move. Although fame has finally come to them through the two groups that evolved, Wizzard and The Electric Light Orchestra, their fused capabilities were originally repressed by unfortunate circumstances (say, whatever happened to Candy and The Kisses). This album puts them back into perspective and is great as a comic relief from the status quo. The first two sides actually comprise their very first album in its entirety, which was never released here. These cuts are vibrant, capturing the Move’s raw potential. You can finally hear those English hits which never made it to America, like “Yellow Rainbow” and “(Here We Go Round) The Lemon Tree.” Well, here they are along with a few oldies (maybe Eddie Cockran’s “Weekend” was your or you got off on the Coaster’s Dodododododo-Dodododododo . . . with “Zing Went the Strings of My Heart”). A real pleasure to hear again. And you’ll love Roy Wood’s other original material. The popping rhythm of “Useless Information” and “Fire Brigade” is sure to get you bobbing on your feet. Also trying their ability at softer melodies is “The Girl Outside/’ a cute little number where you ”... can take her on a magic carpet ride” (sound familiar John Kay?). A really nice debut album. But there’s more to look forward to on the second album. Flip your mind with their very first single, “Night of Fear,” as Wood uses sitars to replicate a Tchaikovsky piece (better known as the theme to a Quaker Oats commercial). Not only was it a great success but also, in retrospect, the precursor to the Move’s future musical endeavors. “I Can Hear the Grass Grow” is another of their pop hits along with “Wave Your Flag and Stop the Train” which is reminescent of the Monkees (remember “Last Train to Clarksville”). And if you want some heavier music, “Blackberry Way” and “Brontosaurus” are sure to fit the bill. Actually all the songs are superb, demonstrating not only a change in the group but also in the direction of Roy Wood’s musical interests, as he wrote nineteen of the songs. Basically this album was released to fill in any gaps from the Move’s pre-1971 career. It not only achieves that purpose, but also bestows on them the recognition that was always theirs. But you say you never drank the uncola. Why not try a Tequilla Sunrise? After all, it’s the better to move you my dear! thing Susan Wos What's so special about Tech Hifi ? ADVENT What we don't sell.

Page thirteen & �Can-Am Races slatedfor Watkins Glen Five major races will highlight this weekend's activities at the Watkins Glen Grand Prix Course at the sourthernend of Seneca Lake. The Glen has long been known for its July “doubleheader,” but this year the organizers have crammed two weekends’ racing into one! The action promises to be exciting and non-stop, as well over 100 racing cars vie for the big bucks prize money at stake. Besides the doubleheader staples The Glen Six Hours and The Glen Can-Am the Five Star Weekend will see the running of the Formula 5000, the Trans-Am and the VW Gold Cup races as well. This may well be the most crowded schedule ever seen at the Glen. — - Oval track Among the top flight drivers expected this weekend will be a number of representatives from oval track racing; the joint sponsorship of the F5000 series by SCCA and USAC will allow the Indy stars to challenge the road racers on their home ground. Besides Mario Andretti, who did so well at Mosport a month ago only to have his engine go sour when it counted, Johnny Rutherford has been entered in a Carl Hogan Lola. The Unser brothers, Bobby and Al, as well as A.J. Foyt are also expected to turn up at the Glen. The road racing fraternity will be more than adequately represented with the likes of Jackie Oliver, George Follmer, and David Hobbs in addition to Formula 1 stars such as the Jean Pierres: Beltoise and Jarier, and Jacky Ickx. Cramped competition It will be an organizational feat in itself to bring off the super-crowded schedule without a hitch. Saturday morning will see the two F5000 heats and Can-Am sprint heat run before the Manufacturers’ Championship Race (the Six Hours) begins at 1:00 p.m. Run concurrently with the Six Hours will be the Trans-Am Championship with • I | C | i For six hours the Group 4 and Trans-Ain machinery will scream, lumber and roar around the 3.4 mile Glen circuit. The Glen Can-Am traditionally has one of the best fields entered and this year is no different. Many of the quicker Group 4 cars like the Alfas, Ferraris and Matras will lay over for the Sunday race. Though quite overpowered by the Can-Am giants, these nimble and quick racers will have the reliability and speed to take immediate advantage of any missteps by the front runners in the Can-Am. Tough competition The Shadows, piloted by Oliver and Follmer will be the cars to beat in the Can-Am. They easily outdistanced the opposition at Mosport and there are no indications they won’t be trying even harder. They’ll have to because somewhere in the wings the ex-McLaren heaters are thinking of ways to dethrone the Shadows from the top of the Can-Am before the season is out. Still expected is the all-new Group 7 Ferrari. And Mario Andretti will have a special Can-Am Alfa to do what he can to topple the Shadows. Sandwiched between the F5000 and Can-Am features will be the Formula Super VEE Gold Cup Race. Based on 1600cc VW engines, these open-wheeled cars achieve speeds well in excess of 125 mph and a pack of Super Vees looks like an angry snake writhing past. The rigid specifications insure that few of the cars have much of an edge over their competition and wheel to wheel battles involving upwards of five cars are common. Two for the price of one this weekend at the Glen. To get there, take the Thruway or Route 20 east to Geneva, and 14 south to Watkins Glen. It’s 130 miles away, but well worth the trip!

Although computerization has equipped entire populations with every advantage a complex technology can offer, it has allowed governments to systematically tamper with the privacy of individual citizens. It has always been an accepted Center. ‘The completeness of tenet of the computer age that the medical records,” he added, is Federal Government maintains if patients move around a files on every suspected critical great deal or are being treated for “subversive element” in the a variety of ailments by several country, but the extent of this physicians. “The center retrieves activity was virtually unknown family records for the physician until recently. As more and more which . . . give a background on facts came to light during the certain hereditary conditions and Watergate investigations, it [are] helpful in diagnosis.” became apparent that the Despite these obvious individual liberties of scores of advantages, more and more people American citizens had been trod have become reluctant to have upon to an extent previously personal information unimagined, and that complex computerized, because computer technology could harm as easily as operators, supervisors and other it could help. unscreened personnel have at their fingertips all sorts of potentially Care vs. privacy information. With damaging Nowhere has this duality been records, medical violations of more evident than in the confidentiality could prove estimated 4.000 “ethical health devastating. data centers" that have branched across the nation. Data centers have given physicians access to patients' complete medical records and doctors view them as an essential tool for providing premium medical care. By having access to patients’ complete medical records, the physician can treat patients “totally rather than piecemeal,” said Dr. Elemer R. Gabrieli, director of the Erie County Clinical Information out - Protect the individual Approximately 90 percent of all psychiatric records and 40 percent of all medical or surgical records deal with “extra sensitive” information, according to Dr. Gabrieli. “If a patient thought his psychological hangups, recorded on his records, could find their way into the hands of someone other than his physician, he would refuse treatment,” he maintained. Fearful that patients who underwent abortions, treatment for venereal disease and other medical conditions frowned upon by society would be afraid that this information would fall into the hands of future employers, credit bureaus and other groups. Dr. Gabrieli underscored the distinction between medical and other types of computerized records. Unlike school and criminal records which are “created to protect society,” medical records were “created to protect the individual,” he said. To safeguard the rights of the individual without sacrificing the quality of medical care, several Buffalo groups have been leading the fight to establish Federal statutes for preventing unauthorized retrieval of computerized medical records. At the Sixth Buffalo Conference on Computers in Clinical Medicine held June 17—19 in Niagara Falls, a county group representing medicine, law, philosophy, religion, computer science and health planning discussed ways of achieving this goal Conference sponsors included Dr. Gabrieli, representing the Clinical Information Center, the departments of Continuing Medical Education, Obstetrics and Gynecology at the State University at Buffalo, and a Joint Task Group on Ethical Health Data Centers representing the Erie County Medical Society. Nearly a dozen of the University’s law students have been actively researching the legal - . —continued on page 10— Court grabs devils tail, halts return of ‘Miss Jones’ The campus premiere of The Devil in Miss Jones, originally scheduled for the weekend of July 5-7, has been postjxmechTndefinitely due to a preliminary injunction pnmibiting a screening of the allegedly obscene film at the nearby Granada Theater. The Devil in Miss Jones, along with another blue class. Deep Throat, was confiscated by the Buffalo Solaticious Literature Squad after the Granada Theater attempted to show the film. Campus Security was then notified that similar action would be brought against the University if the film was shown. Although the Erie County Courts have rulled The Devil in Miss Jones obscene, the Granada Theater decided to appeal the decision. The matter is presently being litigated, but a decision is not expected for at least two or three months. ‘A sticky mess’ Jim Gruber, director of Norton Union, was reluctant “to take the chance of getting away with [showing the film]. I am concerned with the film’s legality and the image the University presents,” said Dr. Gruber. Terming the situation a “sticky mess,” Dr. Gruber said he could not “make decisions that are against my better judgement.” If the University Union Activities Board (UUAB) were to go ahead with its plans to show the film, both President Robert Ketter and Dr. Gruber would be liable to arrest,” according to Ron Stein, associate director of Student Affairs. “While the UUAB is financially independent of the university,” said Dr. Stein, “Dr. Ketter is still responsible for what can be controlled on campus.” Buffalo police do have the right to come on campus with or without the permission of Campus Security, contended acting Student Association (SA) President Rich Hochmon. While acknowledging the The Devil in Miss JOnes had been shown at other schools, UUAB Films Director Michael Lerner said: “Morally,/if the Granada can’t show it, we shouldn’t show it either.’’ Administration and student representatives here were in mutual agreement that The Devil in Miss JOnes should — be temporarily canned, but an alternative student film group at the University of Michigan has had problems with the school administration over what could be shown. The problem came to a head when a film group renting university facilities presented Deep Throat to raise money for a local political campaign. When the Board of Regents discovered this, they placed a moratorium on the use of campus facilities the only ones available for movie viewing by non-student groups. — - �Caesar Chavez here July 5 Cesar Chavez, President of the United Farm Workers of America, will be speaking in Buffalo on Friday on July 5.

The Afro-Asian Bookstore, located in the heart of the black ghetto, sold jazz records and African carvings, as well as Black Nationalist and anti-war literature. Rioting swept through Buffalo’s Cold Spring ghetto during the long hot summer of 1967. Throughout the disturbances, Martin Sostre kept his Afro-Asian Bookstore open late into the night, providing community residents with a refuge from the tear gas and bullets of the city’s police. Shortly after the rioting subsided, Martin Sostre was arrested and charged with sale and possession of narcotics, inciting a riot, resisting arrest and arson. Bail was set at $50,000. The judge at the arraignment proceedings, citing Sostre’s inability to meet bail, sarcastically remarked that perhaps he could get Mao or Ho to pay it. While Martin sat in jail awaiting indictment, Buffalo police officials as well as the major Buffalo newspapers, referred to him as a “prominent” leader in the ghetto uprising. The grad jury, however, dropped the arson and riot charges (no evidence of Sostre’s complicity in the riot was ever presented to the grand jury) and indicted Martin on charges of sale and possession of narcotics. During the trial, Sostre, acting as his own attorney, was found guilty by an all-white jury and sentenced to 30-41 years in jail. NEW YORK (LNS) More and more, people are becoming familiar with the case of Martin Sostre. To help spread that awareness, the Pacific St. Film Collective has just finished work on “Frame-up! The Imprisonment of Martin Sostre.” a 30-minule, 16 mm color/sound film available to organizations and community groups around the country. In addition, a group of New York City supporters have just opened the Martin Sostre Bookstore (“In Exile”) on the Lower 'feast Side of Manhattan in commemoration of his work. Sostre suffered a serious setback this March 15 when a New York State judge refused an appeal to overturn his conviction. The appeal was based on the recanted testimony of police witness Arto Williams, who had originally said the he had bought heroin from Sostre. In exchange for this testimony, the — prosecution dropped larceny charges against Williams. In the six and a half years that Sostre has been imprisoned, he has continued to be active, organizing a prison work union in Walkhill State Prison, a strike in the license plate shop at Auburn State Prison, and successfully prosecuting a landmark case against censorship of prisoner’s literature. Because of his activities, Sostre has been repeatedly assaulted by prison guards. Currently, he has several charges of “assault on prison guards” pending against him because of his attempts to resist this brutality. The repression against Sostre has affected other inmates as well. In one particular incident in May of 1973, a white inmate, James Sullivan, heard guards plot against Sostre, saw the beating, and signed an affidavit to that effect. Sullivan was scheduled to be paroled 21 days later, but needless to say, prison authorities didn’t appreciate his testimony and his parole was denied. From then on Sullivan was continually gassed in his cell to force him to change his testimony. Later he was transferred to the ACTEC . program a minimum security prison next to Clinton Prison in and was warned that he would Dannemorra, N.Y. be taken care of if he didn’t forget what he had seen. In November of 1973, Sullivan, who had never had a rule infraction in more than thirteen years in prison, was busted for possession of a set of Exacto leather working tools and for being in an area along with 200 other inmates where a thermos jug containing six ounces of grapefruit juice (the guards calimed it was- alcohol) was found on the floor. The prison hobby shop had legally sold the tools to Sullivan as they had to over sixty other inmates. Using the leather tools and the grapefruit juice as an excuse, prison guards constantly searched the cell blocks and the inmates, and instigated very tight security measures. They let it be known that Sullivan was the problem and until he decided to slop saying that Sostre was beaten, harassment of the entire prison would continue and all his known associates would be shipped to a maximum security prison. In April, 1974 Sullivan had three months to go before a mandatory discharge. Before the Parole Board, he was told that his record was perfect. But. writes Sullivan, "After one question about my — - - - feelings about Unit 14 (the solitary section where Sostre was beaten] my record didn't count for shit. The Parole Board hit me with six months knowing I max out in three. Seems I’d have to commit perjury and sign a paper that I never was in Unit 14 that infamous day in May 1973."

House may ratify new youth fare bill The House of Representatives will have the opportunity to reinstate phased-out youth airfare discounts if it approves a Senate bill allowing the resumption of the fares by the end of the 93rd Congress, 2nd session. Following a Civil Aeronautics Board (CAB) ruling in December, 1972 to discontinue the fares, the Senate unanimously passed bill S2651 last November that would allow airlines and surface carriers to offer lower rates to persons under 22, over 65, or handicapped. Many airlines wanted the discount fares to continue, but CAB abolished them on the grounds that they were “unjustly discriminatory,” explained Peter Segall of the National Student Lobby. As a result of the ruling, airlines were losing millions of dollars in annual renevue and suffering an estimated 1057 drop in international traffic, he said. Students who previously flew American planes abroad are instead taking advantage of Canadian youth fares. Stand-by According to the terms of the bill S265 1, fares would be reinstated on a stand-by -basis for youth and senior citizens and a reserve bases for the handicapped. "In offering stand-by discounts, fixed costs of the airlines would be spread out over more people and in the long run, all fares would be held down,” Mr. Segall pointed out. He added that the bill would not require the airlines to offer lower rates, but would permit them “to do what they feel is economically right.” Since the passage of the Senate bill, over 170 House members have sponsored or co-sponsored similar legislation. While Mr. Segall feels House approval of the bill looks promising, no dates for hearings have been set by the Subcommittee on Transportation and Aeronatucs, chaired by Oklahoma Congressman John Jarman. Other hearings At the request of Trans World however, the subcommittee has arranged meetings to discuss the possibility of providing financial assistance to airlines. It is highly unlikely that there will be Congressional airline subsidies, but if discount fares increase TWA’s revenues significantly, Mr. Segall said the House might allow them instead. Mr. Segall urged students to write their Congresspeople requesting youth airfare hearings as soon as possible. Stressing that the bill must be passed before the November election, he said “all our work would be in vain because it doesn’t carry over from one session to another.” Letters should also be addressed to Rep. Harley Staggers of West Virginia, chairman of the Interstate Commerce Committee and Rep. Jarman, all in care of the House of Airlines, Representatives, D.C., 20515.

"Technological totalitarianism can become political totalitarianism." —Congressman Frank Horton (D., N.J.) The spector of a completely modernized, totalitarian society where people's private thoughts are monitored 24 hours-a-day and every room in every house is constantly being observed on giant usually conjures up images of George Orwell's television screens 1984. But as far-fetched as 1984 seemed when it was first published, the numerous pre meditated invasions of individual privacy by Federal and State governments during the past decade may well have vindicated Orwell as one of the more accurate prophets of modern times. — — In the Spring of 1970, when student unrest was sweeping across the nation's campuses, the U.S. Army authorized intelligence agents to infiltrate radical organizations and maintain a close watch on antiwar leaders, civil rights activists and other "subversives." The information they gathered was dispersed over nationwide Army teletypes, and the names of potential troublemakers were tucked away in computerized 'WHAT IF THI DAMN ASKS FOA ASYLUM . . . T* files. Later that year, the American Civil Liberties Union discovered that Governor Dewey Bartlett of Oklahoma, acting without the knowledge of the State Legislature, had established a complex network of surveillance using an $18,000 grant from the Federal government. Mr. Bartlett cited the existence of "black organizations" and "antiwar/anti-draft" activities on campuses as ample justification for setting up the secret agency, while ACLU members accused him of violating the constitutional rights of 6,000 citizens listed in his files. In another case, a witness testified that demonstrators in New Orleans, Loisiana had been harassed by a carload of police who would continually "ride by slowly and take pictures from the car [while] they were laughing." This harassment violated individual's civil liberties, the witness charged, because it had frightened away people who otherwise might have joined the demonstration. Perhaps the most blatant governmental travesty occurred in the case of 19-year old Dale Menard, who in 1965 was mistakenly arrested because he had been dozing in a park near the scene of a theft. Although Mr. Menard was released the following day, the police decided to forward his fingerprints to the FBI. There they remained until last April, when the Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia ruled that the FBI could not legally maintain incriminating records that were inaccurate. All of these abuses have underscored the dangers inherent in the numerous National Data Banks that are being used by.federal agencies. The development of highly sophisticated Data Banks with the ability to transfer information between them has posed a grave threat to the confidentiality of individual census data, military records, educational, political, medical and psychological histories, and other potentially damaging information. If one considers how a survey conducted by New York University in 1966 revealed that 75% of New York City area employment agencies had gained access to confidential information and refused to even consider applicants with any sort of arrest record, it is not difficult to see why Dale Menard pursued his case in the courts for nine long years. Futhermore, people who suspected they were being — — stalked by federal police who knew their most carefully-guarded secrets were naturally reluctant to become involved and speak out. This form depriving a free citizen of the confidence that his of intimidation actions will not earn him a computerized dossier in FBI files is clearly a violation of the First Amendment — — Amid this "disturbing absence of laws to control the information capabilities of government [which threatens] the individual's privacy and right to due process of law," the Senate Subcommittee on Constitutional Rights has taken positive steps toward safeguarding the rights of privacy by recommending guidelines for informing persons when information about them is being stored in Data Banks and allowing them to "review and correct their own records." The subcommittee has also proposed Congressional approval of any decision to computerize files, federal restrictions on interagency exchange of personal data, and the adoption of strict security measures to protect data and data banks. individual countries try to protect themselves by putting up tariff barriers, protecting home jobs and engaging in competitive devaluation. The nations have pledged not to do this but pressure is mounting. European politicians are busily proposing to regain a favorable trade balance by exporting more and more goods and importing less. That means exporting unemployment. In 1929 nations tried that. There had been peace since 1918. But the depression threatened from Washington Japan, and she invaded Manchuria for markets in June 25.1974 1931; that ended the post-war international order.

Conrack Voight overshadows cast by Bill Maraschiello Spectrum Film Critic Vamacraw Island is a small patch of swamp in South Carolina. In 1969, a young white man named Pat Conroy went to Vamacraw to teach fifteen children in the island's two-room schoolhouse. These children were strangers not only to the alphabet, but to the correct sum of two and two, and even to the name of the country they lived in. They were literally beaten with by the principal, a black woman who some justification was terrified of the lily-white scholastic hierarchy. the main The children were also black reason the conditions were allowed to continue. Conroy's solution: turn school into a pep rally; prod, cajole and trick his students into wanting to know about the rest of the world. Between the children and the man they call “Conrack" exists a bond that also holds the film together. Conroy is a starring role in the old sense of the term, and the film is thus the first real Jon Voight vehicle. As Conroy, Voight carries the film like a gunny sack, with perfect ease and — — — assurance. Conrack should mark his transition from star to superstar. Freshness and spontaneity Equally fine is the collective performance of the children. Working with a mostly non-professional cast (the most notable exception being Tina Andrews), director Martin Ritt somehow manages to preserve their freshness and spontaneity. And considering that I, like W.C. Fields, like children only when properly cooked, the above statement is a very high praise. My biggest compalint about Conrack is that the other characters all get such short shrift in favor of the immense emphasis on Voight. The Water Is Wide, Conroy's own book about his experiences, is full of colorful characters, many of whom are just dropped. Those that do remain lack the depth that is present in their literary counterparts. Cardboard character School superintendent Skeffington (Hume Cronyn), an amalgam of three of the book's less admirable characters, is a cardboard, politically-cliched nasty. Paul Winfield's role as the village idiot is equally thankless. The only exception is Madge Sinclair, who successfully humanizes the Simone Legree figure of the principal. At the film's end, Voight-Conrack says, "I don't think I changed the quality of their lives significantly," referring to his kids. In context with the rest of the film's message, that statement comes across as false modesty. But then, hyperbole has always been an expected hazard in the commerical film market, and the pleasure Conrack provides is probably worth the exaggeration encountered along the way. It's regrettable that We' walk out feeling uplifted instead of bitter and slightly enraged at the waste of human lives that Conroy tried to stop. Perhaps the filmmakers shouldn't have the star given the whole thing to Jon Voight they could have saved more of it for Pat Conroy the person. — ; — Friday, 28 June 1974 The Spectrum . .

The artists each do an average of three to four concerts a day, so over the course of the weekend, you can theoretically see everyone. Or, if you have some favorites, you can see them ten times. Now, the concerts, for the most part, are not concerts in the strict sense of the word: they are workshops. A workshop is five or six artists getting together on stage and playing music tied together by a theme lyrical or musical. The title of a workshop alone was sometimes enticing enough to make me go see it. Like: Red Necks, White Socks, and Blue Ribbon Songs (country classics) or E Minor A 7, or how you and your friends can make music together, or Dirty Tricks in the Name of Love, or simple ones like B'ues or Classical to Jazz. Going to workshops is infinitely interesting: you get each artist's unique interpretation of the same theme. out ded s we and, :s of ong, — r no tare well — we the e. A lone Golden vibes So that was the schedule, but as we all know, a format doth not a festival make. What's really important is the quality of the vibes. Oh, there were such golden vibes. rees My companions and I had a running discussion (it lasted all weekend) about the reasons why the vibes were so good. Why was everybody so courteous no pushing, no shoving, no rushing, no becking, no fighting, no garbage, no noise while the performers were playing? My friends contend that it is in the nature of the native Canadian. I say it has more to do with the type of person who is into folk music, regardless of nationality. Besides the fact that folk music is everything except belligerent and aggressive, the idea that anybody can play is bound up intrinsically in the folk tradition. Anybody can play and everybody does. (All you had to do was count the number of instruments in the audience to see the truth of that.) Something even more deeply inherent in folk music is a kind of fundamental belief that life il in irth. with "Improvising Lyrics" workshop, David Amram made up a masterpiece connecting vegetarianism and Joseph Stalin ("cause if Joe had eaten lasagne instead of all that meat . . ."). Pete Seeger inevitably brought the house down with his tall tales. Steve Goodman kept us on a teeter-totter state between enrapt fascination at his guitar expertise and utter hysterics at his often ‘hilarious songs (for instance, his song about the TV show, Let's Make a Deal; "My Whole World Lies Behind Door Number Three"). Mary McCaslin had a way of turning a straight country song into a funny one; Jim Ringer's little ditties were performed with facial contortions as expressive as his lyrics ("I would have wrote you a letter, but I couldn't spell brech (?), and that's all I had to say"). — ling vith just idge the — the ped ling , is in both instances, it was much sing the next time around. Of course, good vibes are cyclical, and the artists had to shine for an audience as good as this one. Just looking at the artists, I knew they were having as good a time as I was. At a blues workshop, while Kate McGarigle was playing "Oh Papa Blues" on the piano, old time blues man Booker White got up and started doing a slow shuffle, eyes closed in ecstasy (you knew it was spontaneous). During the can be fun. What with that fact and the number of musicians present in the audience, there was no trouble with audience participation: everyone was up for folk dancing, or singing along. It began to feel like everyone was part of one big family simply being there made you a relative. and all — Hallie lets loose For instance: Malvina Reynolds is a crusty old anc j | lady who likes to stick up for women's rights. Hallie McKay is her accompanying guitarist. Malvina had been trying to get Hallie to sing one by herself, and J finally convinced her on Sunday afternoon, with the help of the audience's coaxing. Hallie sang "Paper )est Roses," and she turned out to have quite a sweet of voice. When she finished, she got twice as much for half for applause as anyone else in the workshop: the song, half for simply overcoming her shyness. More than anything else, it reminded me of the little sister or cousin singing for the family, and as the case ? " — Labor of love One of the best shows I saw was a tribute to Merle Haggard. Adam Mitchell, who has one of the best country voices I've heard (slightly hoarse, not too twangy, very smooth), and Steve Goodman traded off lead vocals. Adam and Steve played rhythm and lead guitar, respectively, and with Saul Broudy on harp and Shelley Posen on dobro, and they showed all non-believers that country music is not necessarily the simplistic stuff that so many (' people write it off as. At another show, Kate and Anna McGarigje and Roma Barmes totally bowled me over. All three girls play a variety of instruments (they switched off between electric and acoustic bass, banjo, guitar, piano and accordion) and sing (Kate and Anna have especially beautiful voices), and perform the excellent songs that Kate and Anna write, there was no way they could have been less brilliant than they were. There was so much I didn't get to see, or only saw glimpses of. Eskimo dancers, string bands, old English Balladeers; I hear tell that during a jazz workshop David Amram took a spectacular break (playing) on his head. Oh well, such is the stuff legends are made of. Yes, when the performers and the concert-goers stroll around chatting with each other, you know something special is going down. Something special did go down it does every year. It's called the Mariposa Folk Festival, and you can bet that when summer comes rolling around next year.

Performing tunes from their new album Rampant (a very good one at that), such as the fever paced "Silver Dollar Forger," or the slow, amplified G ballad, "Loved and Lost" or the Boogie paced "Jet Lag," the band tried everything to establish rapport with the audience. Aside from the new tunes, it glistened on older tunes such as "Razmanaz," "Bad Bad Boy," Lowell George's 'Teenage Nervous Breakdown" and a humorous, rocking rendition of Joni Mitchell's "This Flight Tonite." But the young ones were here for the Cult exclusively, and as the fellow sitting next to me woke up exclaiming, "Have those fuckers finished yet," the Nazareth members walked off stage shaking their heads in disgust.

Single success First on stage was The Golden Earring, a hard rock-"psychedelic" band from Holland, currently riding the waves of success which their current AM single, "Radar Love," has attained. The band, a better than average third billing, was quite flashy, being Europe's answer to the Edgar Winter band. They began the set with a tune entitled "Big Tree, No escape From the Cult there Is no escape. Once you embark upon their death trip, there is no turning back. Vessir, Al Bouchard pounds his drums deep into the center of your skull, and brother Joe delivers a truely inspired bass solo. But its not over yet.

Eric Bloom and Buck Dharma hop across stage, arm in arm, and as the Cult run back out for their encore, they pounce upon their audience once again, with a rendition of “Born To Be Wild" which would make even John Kay quiver.

What more can be said? - - E triple bill of The Golden Sarring, Nazareth and The Blue Oyster Cult. As is the usual fare for such heavy-metal spectacles, the concert started late, an hour and a half to be precise. The crowds could only discuss the probable triumphant crescendos which their anti-heros, the Cult, would deliver, as well as to emulate the very pugnacious, rambunctiousness which rock and roll is all about. But the equipment for the concert had arrived. Now it was only a matter of time.

Dr. Hoa, a woman in her forties, studied medicine in the French capital twenty years ago. She spent several years in the Saigon jails under the Diem regime. The following remarks by Dr. Hoa are excerpted from an interview by Liberation News Service Paris correspondent Schofield Coryell. Speaking of the magnitude of the task facing the PRG. Dr. Hoa described the unprecedented health problems created by the years of American warfare. But she also emphasizes the continuing struggle of the South Vietnamese people for genuine peace and independence, and their unshaken morale. PARIS The American war has spared no one. The entire population and the land itself, the waters and the soil have been severely damaged by the constant bombings over the years, by the countless - - — tons of poisonous chemicals The children in particular have been terribly traumatized. If you can describe them as “children.” For they must become prematurely adult in the circumstance of war and danger. They live in constant fear with death on every side. And living under the green and grey colors of the forest and the camouflage, they are unaccustomed to bright colors. They have a horror of red they associate it with blood and flames. — Our children do not know what it is to play with toys. We have no toys. Almost all of them suffer from rickets and other diseases. There are about 200,000 orphans in the PRG zones. We find foster homes for them, people who gladly adopt them and look after them. We do not build orphan asylums. Such institutions could be easily spotted from the air and would inevitiably be bombed to dust by the Saigon planes. Besides, we do not believe in orphan asylums. It is better for the children to find their place with families that feed them and take care of them. They do not go hungry. They get their regular rations. Hardly any of the children are Outside by Clem Colucci While going through my files the other day, I came across some old ideas and half-completed columns 1 never used. I had promised myself as I entered my second year as a columnist that I would one day do a column on “Columns That Never Made It,” and I like to keep my promises especially to myself. The column would serve several purposes: it would give me something to write on a slow week, it would clear out my files, and, most important, it would give a partial answer to all the people who have asked me how 1 come up with ideas and do my work. By presenting the raw, the unpolished, the halting, the failing, anyone interested in how the humorist pursues his craft would gain some important insight. Then too, if anyone is ever tempted to criticize a column I publish, I can always refer the critic to what I might have written. One of the biggest problems in topical humor is timing. When you satirize events in the daily newspaper, you must get your ideas and do the work while the events are still fresh in the public mind. If the writer gets lazy, or the topic gets stubborn, and he has to wrestle with it for a while, the idea may get s|ale and the column will have to be scrapped. Here’s one I sat on too long. Several months ago, consumer advocate Ralph Nader got bumped off a flight on which he had a reservation. He sued to end the airline practice of overbooking and got the airlines to agree to guarantee a seat on another flight within two hours to any passenger bumped off a flight on which he or she had a reservation. I thought it hilarious that anyone would dare bump Ralph Nader; there’s just no concept of reality there at all. I suspected, and soon learned, that bumping is done at random. Then I got the hjg idea on which 1 thought 1 could base a column. I tried it out first at the dinner table, conjuring up the image of a middle-level airline executive going over the list of bumped passengers: “Aronson, Paul; Brown, Shirley; DeMarco, Nader? Salvatore; Johnson, William; Nader, Ralph Ralph? Ralph Nader? Ralph Nader! Oh my God.” He grabs for the phone and pushes buttons frantically. Ah, “Hello, Chief, Wilson in Customer Service Chief, you’ll er you’ll never guess who we bumped off the 2:45 to D C I’ll give you a hint Corvair.. No, not the President of General Motors. I’ll give you another. Do the initials R.N. mean — - - - - ... - - - . developing normally. They all show psycho-motor difficulties caused by the war situation. They begin talking and walking much later than they should. The greatest crime of American imperialism is the suffering it has brought to millions of children in Vietnam. Because of the effect of the poisonous chemicals, a great many children are born deformed. Even our future generations are threatened. Generally speaking, the health problem is enormous. Mai aria is widespread. Millions are afflicted with tuberculosis. For example, 80% of the people who have emerged from Saigon prisons are tubercular. The napalm and the poison chemicals have damaged and polluted our rivers, infected the fish, infected our crops. The food we eat may be poisoned danger is everywhere. But life goes on, even so. useless to reconstruct. But our forces fight back successfully, and our people continue working the fields. There is no unemployment in the PRG zones, and there is no shortage of rice. Even the small hamlets have their little dispensaries, hidden under camouflage since these health institutions are the favorite targets of the Saigon planes and artillery. PRG doctors and medical personnel work day and night, using both rudimentary and mpdern equipment supplied by the North, by friendly socialist countries, or by medical aid organizations in the Western world. New doctors and medical specialists are undergoing constant training. Much of the treatment, work and study is carried out underground in the tunnels, where the people have to spend a large part of their time. We are striving for a synthesis between our traditional medicine and the most modern methods of Western medicine. Our doctors make use of our traditional herbs' but also the most up-to-date medicine and; equipment. People even come over to us from the Saigon-controlled zones to get treatment. Whatever our foreign friends can send us in the way of medical supplies or funds is, - The Saigon administration and armed forces continue to wage war against us, continually attacking the PRG zones, bombing, shelling. These attacks aim at destroying our lines of communication and shattering our morale. The purpose is to spread terror and to make us feel that it is of course very much appreciated. But the greatest contribution you can make is that of moral and political support. The main thing is to arouse people everywhere to demand that Thieu respect the Paris agreement and that the US. cease its interference in the affairs of the Vietnamese people. In No, not that R.N., we anything to you? contributed, remember?” And so it would have gone, but 1 had trouble expanding it and fitting it into a column format. It was much more effective done orally as a Bob Newhart-style monologue and I got quite a bit of mileage out of it at parties. Unfortunately, it got stale. We columnists don't give up on a good idea, though, and I tried to salvage it by using an abbreviated version (about the length of the excerpt quoted) in a column full of similar vignettes, like this one on the aftermath of the “Saturday Night Massacre.” If you remember, the White House was caught off guard by the critical reaction to the firing of Special Watergate Prosecutor Archibald Cox and the subsequent resignations of Attorney General Elliot Richardson and his Deputy William Ruckelshaus. The scene opens in the Oval Office: Knock, knock Nixon: “Come in.” (Enter Chief of Staff Alexander Haig) Haig: “(Nervously) Good morning, Mr. President Nixon; “Morning, Al. I feel good today. We really showed them by sacking Cox, didn’t we? I’m surprised at Elliot, though. I didn’t think the (characterization omitted) would have the (expletive deleted) to quit. He had the (inaudible) to tell me off, too. Say, Al, do you have the count on those telegrams about the firing?” Haig: “Well- uh-yes sir, Mr. President.” Nixon: “Good, when we release these figures we’ll watch Rather, Cronkite, Reston, Chancellor, Kay Graham and all the rest choke on them. Speaking of Kay Graham, have you heard the one about why Carl Bernstein took her to see Deep Throat nine times?” Haig; “No sir.” Nixon: “Because he couldn’t get it down Pat. Ha ha, ha. What’s the matter, A!? You look (inaudible).’ Haig: “1 have the count, Mr. President.” Nixon: “Good, let’s hear it.” Haig: “Twenty to one against, sir.” Nixon: “(expletive deleted).” Haig: “(inaudible)” Nixon: “(expletive deleted)” There are other reasons a column doesn’t make it. The columnist is the toughest censor of his own work, which explains why he fights so hard when anyone else tries to cut anything. Here’s one 1 killed because it was just too tasteless: The idea was discussing why it was particularly important for Ted Kennedy to come up with a good candidate for Vice President, someone who could serve as President and do a good job in case anything happened. I can tell the beating around the bush isn’t getting the idea across and you wonder why it’s so important. The answer is that he’s almost sure to be shot, that’s why. See what I mean about tastelessness? And this brings up the talk of a Kennedy-Wallace ticket in ’76. Some assassin will surely do it right this time, especially if Wallace succeeds to the Presidency, in which case wake me up when the Carl Albert administration is over. Tasteless, isn’t it? Other columns are based on a single joke that can’t be sustained through the length of a column. Here’s one This would have made a good Lenny Bruce routine. I started by defining “homosexual” as “one who likes to have sex with policemen.” The joke, of course, is that if you look at police records in arrests for homosexuality, you’ll almost never find a complainant who wasn’t a policeman. (And we all know about police tactics in “queer-baiting.”) It was a good one-liner, but it didn’t make a column, even if it did make a point. Others are funny only to a select group. I’ve been tempted to do one on my name for some time now. This is the fourth year that it has appeared in this paper and some people still think “Clem Colucci” is a pseudonym. Nobody could really have a name like that. (1 have roommates named Sparky Alzamora and Langley Schwartzaffel if you’re interested.) Even though 1 haven’t gone to a parly yet since I’ve become a columnist where someone hasn’t said “So you’re Clem Colucci,” or “There really is a Clem Colucci?”, I’ve resisted the temptation to do such a column because it wouldn’t interest most of you. I do use the material for a funny story I tell friends, and anyone who wants to hear it is welcome, but I won’t do a column on it, simply because it’s funny only to a select group of friends. Such are the trials of the humor columnist. The failures, the dry spells, the cherished ideas that don’t work out, all are part of the business. But if I’ve made someone out there laugh, brightened someone’s day just a little, angered a bigot, insulted a fanatic or a fool, or lifted someone’s spirits even if I’ll never know who they are it’s worth it and I’ll keep doing it as long as there is a free and accessible forum for irreverence.

Two of these students, John Menderhall and Ken Bersani, are currently drafting a bill that may be introduced by Congressman Jack Kemp (R., Hamburg) in August. Among the safeguards bei,ng considered are the development of training programs and legally-binding codes of ethics for computer operators and the adoption of stringent managerial controls at Data Centers. existing safeguards are “scattered around in an incredible patchwork of vague ‘rights of privacy’ statutes,” Dr. Boyer stressed. While nurses and other medical persons have to be accredited for character and competence, computer operators and others with access to damaging information obey only the , "self-imposed” dictates of confidentiality, he added. !

Federal supervision The legislation originally proposed by the Joint Task Force would have established a Federal Regulatory Agency to oversee the states in formulating and enforcing monetary penalties, but Congressman Kemp favored using the existing Attorney General’s office as a supervisory body. Under the revised Kemp version, there would not be specific Federal penalties, but the states would be given monetary incentives for establishing safeguards. Despite these differences, Dr. Boyer recently met with representatives from Mr. Kemp’s office, who agreed that “some of their revisions needed to be revised,” according to Mr. Menderhall.

The funds combined with $1,275,620 from the Federal government will allow the city to employ a total of 2700 persons between the ages of 16 and 21. Thirty school playgrounds that would have remained closed for the summer months will now be open to programmed recreation. The jobs will start July 8, with youths working 20 hours a week for eight weeks at $2 an hour. Under the federally-funded programs, supervisors will earn $2.75 while those in the city program will be paid $4 an hour. Although anyone may qualify for the jobs funded by the city, federal funds are restricted to youths with low family incomes. Under federal guidelines a family of four must have a gross income of no more than $4500 to qualify. The federal funds will be used to employ youth in the city departments 'of parks and streets, and in neighborhood improvement programs, which include 24 different neighborhood associations. The funds will also pay for the staffing of inner-city not-for-profit programs and for hiring counselors to work at Bennett Beach Day Camp. For the first time in eleven years, the Neighborhood Youth Corps will not be funded because paying supervisory personnel $225 a week was deemed too costly. The program had been run by the Board of Education. — — ARTISTS BAMBOO INCREASING IN POPULARITY, WE NOW HAVE A FINE SELECTION OP GENUINE a.

Tauriello, Frank J. Niemiec and George E. Blackman. Opposing the Board’s action were Arnold Gardner, Joseph E. Murphy and Board President Matt A. Gajewski. At Monday’s meeting, the board initially rejected a measure that would have implemented the 10% cuts without restoring the $3.1 million because it probably would have violated contracts with all hope that additional funds would be forthcoming next spring before the board ran out of money. This proposal was defeated by a 5-2 vote.

Charges that the Buffalo School administration and overstaffed, claimed Mr. Sedita, were misleading and incorrect. As an example, he noted that school superintendent Joseph Manch ranked 75th in nationwide salary comparisons, even though he was the senior superintendent of all the country’s large cities. was overpaid Low ranks Compared with the rest of Erie County, Mr. Sedita said Buffalo junior high school principal salaries were in 10th place out of 13 districts surveyed, elementary principals’ salaries ranked 17th out of 24 districts surveyed, and' Buffalo secondary school principals were at the very bottom. The salaries of Buffalo’s central office administrators ranked 79th out of 83 Western New York School districts, he said, and Buffalo ranked fifth among Big Six City Schools in ’ ratios of administrators to teachers and administrators to pupils. “It’s a sad day when individuals have to come us to sell themselves rather than be appreciated for their work,” added Dr. Gajewski. “Our senior executives,” agreed Mr. Gardner, “are apparently supposed to wake up in the morning ashamed of themselves for ‘stealing’ money from the before City of Buffalo.” �Travel problems may result from new Amherst rail line by Diane R.

FSA unanimously approved the budgets for Norton Union, the Bookstore, and Food Service and Vending Operations, A vote on the Service Center budget was tabled pending further discussion. the budgetary Discussing situation of Norton Hall for the current fiscal year, Norton director Jim Gruber said there had been a “shortage’’ of approximately $9400 from the Norton ticket office. Mr. Gruber said he had discovered the loss last January but had been unable to account for the defecit. Without pointing a direct finger at anyone, Mr. Gruber indicated that the problem could have stemmed from “mismanagement on the part of the ticket office manager and staff.” He emphasized, however, that there was no proof of any embezzlement.

He asked Mr. Gruber if he had suspected any illegal activity. “Yes, I believe so,” Mr Gruber When the new rapid transit line between the Main and Amherst campuses is completed in seven years, the University may discontinue the free inter-campus bus service without subsidizing student subway fares. Students would then be forced to pay to commute between campuses. To investigate the impact of cutting out free bus service, the Western New York Public Interest Research Group (WNYPIRG) and Community Action Corps (CAC) formed a cooperative task force. Due to the lack of off-campus housing near the new campus, most students will continue to live near the Main Campus, commuting to classes in Amherst. According to the task force, Health Science majors will especially be inconvenienced because their department will remain on the Main Campus while they continue traveling to the Amherst Campus for other courses. The task force feels the combined effect of moving to Amherst and terminating free bus service would make “the University even more inaccessible to people from the poorer segment of our society.” Arthur Lalonde of WNYPIRG questioned why students should have to pay to attend courses on two campuses. The task force has found that Higher replied. Dr. Ketter termed the situation “disgusting, sickening... [and] irresponsible" and said he would ask for a “fairly detailed report” on the matter When asked by acting Student Association (SA) President Rich Hochman if he knew who might have pilfered the $9400, Mr. Gruber stated he did not know but suggested having tighter aduiting controls, including surprise audits, to prevent future financial mishaps. If it is determined that funds were embezzled. Dr. Ketter said the perpetrators would have to appear a city hearing commission, not the student-wide judiciary. before At an earlier meeting last Friday, the FSA elected a Board of Directors for the current year. Those elected were: Dr. Ketter, Mr, Hochman, Tony Schamel, Graduate Student Association Charles Balkin, assistant (GSA); vice-president and comptroller of Financial Services; Anthony Lorenzetti, assistant vice-president for Student Affairs; Edward Doty, vice president for Operations and Systems; Bernard Gelbaum, vice-president for Academic Affairs; James Schindler, professor of Accounting and Management Systems; and Karen Dill, president of Millard Fillmore College. per ride. Subsidized transportation Recommending that the University “begin talks immediately on minimizing the negative impact of its plans on the student community,” the task force suggested that the University subsidize student travel between the campus stations. The report also called for either continuing free buses or providing student subway discounts. “We stress that it is the responsibility of the University to finance the subsidy, at least in part,” the report states. Mr. Lalonde explained that the task force is acting “seven years before the subway will open because now is the time when the plan is still flexible.” John Telfer, vice-president for Facilities Planning, does not believe Albany will subsidize student fares, according to Mr. Lalonde. He said Mr. Telfer was “reluctant” to come out either way. He indicated that Mr. Telfer’s office did not offer the task force any new statistics. Consequently, the report is based on 1971 data. “Niagara Frontier Transit Association (NFTA) is willing to do something if the University is, and the University likes the idea, but is not doing anything, it isn’t moving,” Mr Lalonde contended. —continued on page 6— education Open admissions attacked (CPS) Two groups friendly the concept of open admissions research committee charged that no American institution of the idea that every high school higher education operates under a graduate should be guaranteed real open admissions policy” and admission to a higher education that higher education “as institution regardless of grades or currently organized” mirrors the finances have issued reports “highly stratified” organization of critical of current open admissions our society and perpetuates the programs status divisions within the walls of Sharply contradicting claims of education institutions. “success" for the City University In a book published by the of New York's (CUNY) program, Student Committee of the Study the school's faculty union charged Commission on Undergraduate CUNY with failing to give open Education and the Education of admissions students “a reasonable Teachers, the authors charge that opportunity for collegiate money alone, no matter how success” and the CUNY much is given, will not grant equal administration w i t h opportunity for education to mismanagement and misinforming lower income groups and the public to conceal that fact minorities unless a “general (see CPS No. 48-2). institutional restructuring of The Professional Staff Congress higher education" takes place.

Stressing that its criticism of the CUNY program was not an attack on open admissions per se, the PSC called for an investigation by the NYC Board of Education, in the knowledge that the Board “shares our commitment to open admissions.” The union said open admissions has not been given “a reasonable opportunity” for success because of poor remedial programs, overcrowding in classrooms, a lack of curricular Friday, 21 June 1974 . The Spectrum . Page three �Mentally retarded confronting a whole assortment of problems by Don Eisenman Spectrum Staff Writer The often-forgotten problems of the mentally retarded were discussed on WKBW’s “Cop Out” program Sunday by Bambi Kertzman, an instructor of Health Educational the State University at Buffalo. “Retardation can affect anyone, anywhere. Anyone can have a retarded child, young or old, rich or poor,” declared Ms. Kertzman. “Until we’re going to look at this realistically, until we’re going to say: ‘yes, this is a problem in society; yes, only then can we have we have to try and deal with it,’ real growth,” she maintained. - Horrifying description Underscoring the scope of the problem, Ms. Kertzman read several passages from the book Willowbrook by journalist Geraldo Rivera, describing the horrifying conditions at this New York State Hospital for the mentally retarded. ■ “/ saw a freak, a grotesque caricature of a person, lying under a sink on an incredibly filthy tile floor in an incredibly filthy bathroom. It was skinny. It was twisted. It was lying in its own filth. "The children were either naked or wearing fragments of clothing, some were wearing just straight jackets . . . The ward was full of noise, hut none if it seemed human It was the moaning made by all those kids left of the retarded,” she explained. Ms. Kertzman blames society for these conditions “You can’t just blame the parents who place their children here. Some need total care that the parents cannot provide at home.” Nor is the government to blame for not providing sufficient funds, Ms. Kertzman addfed. “Very often the money isn’t the problem. Willowbrook probably has a very great budget, but it’s how we distribute the funds, what activities are set up,” she said. Now treatments “What really is needed is a reordering of priorities. We must realize that these are people, and see that they are treated with dignity and respected as human beings. We must not simply tie them into straight jackets because its the expedient thing to do,” Ms. Kertzman stressed. She feels the real problem concerns a lack of effective programming. “They see a psychiatrist or a psychologist once or twice a week, but the rest of the time they’re just sitting there. Their needs aren’t being met in education or activities.” Additionally, programs should be geared to the individual, instead of prescribing to a uniform code and curricula, Ms. Kertzman said. “All retarded are not alike. They should not be stuck into categories but should be placed in programs that would let the individual progress to his highest level.” ... unattended, uncleaned and unloved. “The kids were disgusting to look at . but the smell was what made me physically sick, it smelled of filth; it .. smelled of disease, and it smelled of death. ” Dismayed that Mr. Rivera’s description was not a fairytale or a very weird story but an accurate portrait of what really does happen to children in many mental hospitals throughout the country, Ms. Kertzman said: “The kids are left uncared for, unloved and with nothing to do. This is one of the biggest problems faced when working with the retarded what do you do with these - people?” Insufficient programs While admitting that conditions aren't quite as bad as described above, Ms. Kertzman said we still have the same neglected children with no programs to meet their needs. “The attendents who care for them are underpaid, undereducated and really don’t understand the problems Integrated facilities Ms, Kertzman indicated that Western New York has some of the nation’s best programs for the retarded, including swimming and bowling programs, special Olympics, programs initiated not by educators but by parents and other concerned individuals. However, said Ms. Kertzman, programs should be set up that integrate the retarded with ‘normal’ people, not set them off in individual programs. The retarded could then be accepted and find their place in society while normal children would realize there are people different from themselves. “Many parents feel guilty and overprotective about their handicapped children, which prohibits the integration that would help the problem,” she indicated. “We have to try and make learning a part of life. We can’t restrict who is going to learn, how the learning is going to take place and just what the learning is going to encompass.” Medical research Muscular Dystrophy patient trying tofind a curefor his own disease by. Amy Dutikin Managing Editor Michael Hudecki suffers from Muscular Dystrophy (MD), Unlike most MD patients, however. Dr. Hudecki holds a PhD and has devoted his life to researching the cause of his disease. Assisted by a team of researchers under the direction of Eric Barnard, chairman of the Biochemistry department, Dr. Hudecki does most of his work in a small laboratory in Acheson Hall. “1 feel 1 am attuned to the disease and would like to contribute towards understanding it,” Dr. Hudecki said. He considers himself “fortunate to be educated,” because learning is extremely difficult for most MD victims. This type affects only males, Dr. Hudecki explained, usually cutting their lives short by the late teens or early twenties. Dr. Hudecki suffers from a milder form called “limb girdle,” which varies greatly with each patient. Despite all the research that has been carried out, doctors still are not certain what really causes MD. There are three theories. The first, according to Dr. Hudecki, attributes MD to defective muscle cells, distinguished by less protein and thus, less muscle tissue. Neural problem? The second theory defines MD as a neural problem in which nerves are defective and muscles are secondarily affected. According to the third theory Muscle weakness Muscular Dystrophy is actually a small commonly known as “systematic” family of hereditary diseases, characterized circulatory problems may inhibit the by muscle weakness. Because it affects the passage of nutrients to developing muscle voluntary muscles, many patients are tissue, causing chronic starvation. This unable to walk, stand, or engage in any probably results from a hormonal physical activity requiring muscular malfunctioning. Dr. Hudecki said. Because he feels the theories are activity. The disease may be severely or moderately progressive generally a peak interrelated, Dr. Hudecki’s work involves of activity is reached and that condition all three.

[Atrophy is a wasting away of a body tissue or organ, or the failure of an organ to grow because of insufficient nutrition.) “I hope to do similar experiments with hereditary dystrophic animals to see whether the disease is a chronic denervation,” he added. Diseased chickens Dr. Hudecki’s other work involves genetically dystrophic chickens. There appears to be a hormonal imbalance in these animals, upsetting bloodflow to the limb muscles. With the assistance of third year bio major George Razynski, Dr. Hudecki is attempting to improve circulation to the diseased muscles at all stages of development. Although the nature of the experimentation restricts him to animal models, Dr. Hudecki is attempting to relate his findings to human beings. “Medical research is at the heart of the effort” to eventually cure Muscular Dystrophy, Dr. Hudecki declared. He said doctors can only take care of the physical and mental welfare of dystrophic individuals. “From a .08 a copy; $.06 a copy for S or more copies of same original. GUSTAV will reproduce anything.

Money from this resource has increased the number of post-doctorate research grants tremendously, he added. “Muscular Dystrophy is no different from cancer [in that] the more research money and people studying the disease, the better are the chances of understanding and curing it.” �Research grants announced deal with consequences of of public support," current Managing Editor ALBANY Research grants totalling $125,000 have been awarded to five State University ot New York (SUNY) professors through the newly-established Institute for Public Policy Alternatives, Boyer from local State Senator Arthur Eve for being lax in their minority methods hiring practices. "I am aware of the statements (Mr. Eve] has made,” Dr. Boyer said. “1 intend to look personally into these charges. We have considerable effort, but the nesults have not been seen in significant statistical shifts,” he added. One suggested method of handling minority hiring has been the adoption of a modified quota system which would reserve a set number of openings for those currently under-represented in the ranks of University faculty. But, “to isolate a set percentage of posts and fill them only with women and minorities would not be legally acceptable.” Chancellor - Chancellor Ernest announced at a press conference last Thursday. The grants are the fifst ever to be distributed by the Institute, and will be used for environmental and legislative research. The Institute for Public Policy Alternatives got off the ground last fall when the state legislature sought to determine ways of making itself more responsive to people’s needs through the resources of the State University system. The legislature gave the Institute $750,000. “We must find the mechanism to engage the manpower of the University system in the public problems now facing us, Chancellor Boyer said. The Institute will be composed of adjunct faculty researching a wide range of problems facing the state today, "with the intent of having considerable impact in these areas,” Dr. Boyer added. The five professors receiving grants represent all four of the SUNY Centers; two are from Albany and the remainder, Buffalo, Binghamton and Stony Brook. Because these centers have consolidated a great deal of manpower and research material, the bulk of the Institute's resources will be focused on them in the future. ’ The grants James “social he Institute framework The Institute for Public Policy Alternatives will be chaired by Joseph Swidler, former head of the Public Service Commission. Instead of developing a large, centralized staff, the Institute will rely on manpower working at the individual University centers. Because the institute will be an advisory body, some have questioned whether its work will have an effect. “1 worry very much about the effectiveness of past studies,” said Chancellor Boyer. “If the work of the Institute doesn’t bring about a change in policy by the various public agencies involved, it will be to bridge a failure. We hope the gap beyween the work conducted for the institute and those who will implement the change,” the Chancellor added. The Institute will be The unprecedented 12,000 barrels of oil from the Shah of Iran will be used to fuel the annual summer cruise sponsored by the Merchant Marine Academy. The academy currently enrools 128 Iranian midshipmen in its regular cadet training program, and offers a curriculum of intensive English language outside interests, and questions have arisen concerning the extent of cooperation it will receive from a group like Nelson Rockefeller’s Commission on Critical Choices for America. The fact that Mr. Rickefeller is the former Governor of New York and a possible contender for the Republican nomination for the presidency, has led many to believe that the Institute may get involved polilcally. Reassuring those wary of political entanglements, Dr. Boyer said: “The services can be performed without becoming an advocate or involving the Institute in partisan debate.” No agreement had been made tq do research for the Commission, but if one is made, it will be “on a contractual basis just as it would be with any other organization of that nature,” explained the with CAURUMHANDCRAFTED AND ANTIQUE JEWHFY 1063BM*DOO>*P«g/863-6786/TUE-Sg/ *30-300/ Hturds and Jukebox AVE. -836-8905 3178 BAILEY cross from Capri Art Theatre il^e kes A gift of oil working E.

Public forums have now been concluded, and the Niagara Frontier Transit Authority (NFTA) is finalizing its proposals. The task force hopes some mechanism will be found to reduce the negative impact the move to the Amherst Campus may have on students. John Neal, assistant vice-president for Facilities Planning, noted that the problem of student subsidies is “very much an exploratory thing" and that there is probably a “mechanism for doing this which we haven’t found yet.” He said the free bus service probably will not be continued because the State will no longer fund it although bus service is a year-to-year issue and the legislature cut money from that line this year, according to Mr. Neal, some kind of “operating budget” might be arranged to final - 834-9565 50it Rental from page 3— . “buy passes.” Bus service is provided by the State because no other form of transportation is presently available now, Mr. Telfer explained. He said the State will terminate this service as soon as some other means of transportation is available. Mr. Telfer did not know how much it would cost to subsidize student travel between campuses. “Most students will not need to commute between campus,” he stressed. Others will need to move from home to school to home again, he said, and since thousands presently bear this burden themselves, Mr. Telfer felt it would be “unfair” to subsidize such student travel in the future. Rejects ‘hard line’ Mr. Telfer has been trying to arrange a meeting with NFTA, CAC and WNYPIRG, but said such a meeting is “hard to arrange.” Terming it “unfortunate” that CAC has taken such a “hard line,” he accused that organization of not exploring all aspects of the transportation problem, recommending further research. When asked if there were any housing solutions, Mr. Telfer said the area west of Lake LaSalle, known as Parcel B, is being considered for additional housing. Also, federal subsidies have been requested for housing in Audubon, a newly planned community near the Amherst Campus, but practically no federal subsidies are available. Mr. Telfer said funds may be found for students who indicate “real hardship.” The fact that having reduced fares for special groups, such as the handicapped and school children, may be considered in discussions with NFTA, he added. oocf-zcf iiwbo ■ now •J7-ISS4 • simoon FOR RENT- 2 bedroom, unfurnished apartment in country-10 min. from Amherst Campus.

The Senate Watergate Committee staff has constructed an event-by-event description of how Mr. Nixon delayed announcing milk support until the dairy industry’s $2 million campaign pledge' was reaffirmed. That is one of the two impeachable offenses the Constitution specifically citqSf bribery. Selected evidence /The While House transcripts leave no doubt about Mr. Nixon’s approval of hush money for the when he tells John Dean, “For Watergate Christ’s sake, get it!” Mr. Nixon’s refusal to surrender evidence to Leon Javyorski, the same confrontation for-wbich he fired Cox, is going to the Supreme Courts ana the President has refused to state flatly if he will obey the High Court’s decision. Mr Nixon has also made a farce of the House's inquiry by refusing all Congressional subpoenas on the grounds that the House already has all the evidence that he, the President being investigated, thinks it needs. Yet the committee lumbers on. The partisan bickering which Judiciary Committee chairman Peter Rodino (D., N.J.) has tried so hard to avoid is inevitably emerging. After the committee hears staff-compiled particular allegation, the evidence on a pro-impeachment Democrats later tell newsmen it is absolutely incriminating, while the hard-core conservatives declare it inconclusive. It has become clear why deposed Vice President Spiro Agnew desperately sought an impeachment proceeding instead of court prosecution. The Watergate Grand Jury swiftly and unanimously determined that the evidence was sufficient to indict Mr. Nixon. The House inquiry. Congressional observers now groan, would have trouble reaching a consensus if the President murdered ten Cabinet members on the White House lawn. In his refusal to obey any more House subpoenas, the President informed chairman Rodino that if he were to. agree to weaken “a strong • If you compare, you’ll select /Etna...

For all its bungling, thfyvHouse Judiciary Committee will probably responj* to the judgment of six of ten Americans bv/wentually impeaching President Nixon. In an election year, the blouse will follow suit. Mr. Nixon will then intensify his pandering to conservatives in an attempt to seduce 34 Senators Jo his defense and avoid conviction. But just as important as the vote count is the question of who will control the temper of the impeachment proceedings, Congress or the President. As the Grand Jury agreed, the evidence is there lor a trial on the merits. There will probably be an article of impeachment for bribery in the milk case and the approach to the Hllsberg trial judge. A broad obstruction of justice charge will probably encompass the hush money order, the 18-rainute tape gap and Mr. Nixon's participation in, or at least acquiescence to, the Watergate cover-up. Failure to obey Congressional subpoenas should also be cited. A separate article may describe Mr. Nixon’s failure to report crimes of which he had knowledge (including Richard Kleindienst’s Senate perjury and the Hllsberg break-in) to law-enforcement authorities. (The Nixon doctrine: “I reported it to a high law enforcement official me. ”) For the Constitution specifically says of the President: "He shall take care that the laws be faithfully executed. If Congress allows Mr. Nixon to dictate what evidence he will surrender without immediately concluding that the- withheld evidence is it will change the very nature of the incriminating impeachment clause. For a standard of Presidential accountability is now being set for future generations. A complaisant Congress that writes slap-on-the-wrist letters to a President who obstructs its impeachment inquiry will all but remove an elected President from any accountability to Congress, the courts, the public or otherwise. The situation is succinctly summarized by George F. Will, a Washington Post columnist quoted earlier: “If Mr. Nixon sticks to this doctrine, and if he is not impeached for sticking to it, it will become the definitive precedent. It will establish Presidential control over impeachment inquiries against Presidents.

The Spectrum . Pane sevpn �Robert Meehan for state attorney general end Harold Samuels for governor, respective! the Democratic nomination in the September New York State pnmery. Strive for unified party... The smoke began rising Thursday afternoon as State Chairman Joe Crangle made the usual calls for delegates to sit down and clear the aisles. The opening session began only twenty minutes late. (While Thursday’s program proceeded on schedule, the Friday meeting lasted nearly 12 hours longer than expected.) Virtually every prominent Democrat in the state was present. Mayor Abe Beame, Paul O'Dwyer. Donald Manes, Percy Sutton, Matt Troy and Basil Patterson represented New York City. Congressional personalities included Bella Abzug. Herman Badillo. Shirley Chisholm and Charles Rangel of the House Judiciary Committee. The Erie County contingent consisted of Mayor Stanley Makuwski, former mayor Frank Sedita, Erie County Sheriff Mike Amico and many members of the Buffalo Common Council and Erie County Legislature. Among the numerous journalists in attendance were Jimmy Breslin, who was often seen holding court in the New York City delegation, and Robert Novak from the Evans-Novak columnist team. The Thursday session was devoted to routine business and remarks from party notables. There both at national were assertions that Republicans and state levels “have political arthritis. They don’t do a thing.” Stating that “the single most important business of the Convention was to plan the retirement of Malcolm Wilson,” Mr. Crangle criticized Republicans for saying “no to school children and yes to the special interests.” Several speakers noted that many voters eligible to vote for the first time could not remember a New York State not controlled by Republicans. Queens Borough President Manes and — - ■continued Congressman Ogden Reid had withdrawn from the gubernatorial race by the beginning of the convention, leaving former Off-Track Betting Corporation Chairman Howard Samuels and Bronx Congressman Hugh Carey to vie for the nomination. In his speech to the delegates, Mr. Samuels claimed that high taxes and inflation were an essential aspect of the Nixon economy. “We’re not going to let the Republicans off the hook in 1974,” he said. "The poor and middle-class don’t have to be pitted against one another for survival.’’ Mr, Carey emphasized that, “long after this hall is empty, there will be children with minds crippled by lead-based paint, men and women who can’t find jobs.” Calling for “concern for the deprived along with concern for the disaffected majority of New York State,” Mr. Carey stated: “It does not help America that Richard Nixon has been stripped of all moral leadership It does not help New York that Malcolm Wilson has neither the courage nor the ... competence to govern.” Guest speaker The Thursday evening session opened with a keynote speech by Hubert Humphrey (see accompanying article). The roll call for the gubernatorial endorsement followed. As each delegate was named, Mr. Samuels gradually piled up a commanding lead. Supporters of Mr. Samuels confirmed victory with their cheers. Mr. S.muiels received 68% of the votes, while Mr. Carcv managed 31%, more than the 25% required for a place on the primary ballot, but less than most observers had expected. In his acceptance speech, Mr. Samuels again from page 1 criticized the Republicans. “The shadow of Rich; Nixon will be removed from the face of Ameri While Nixon is paralyzed, Wilson waivers I inte to lead the fight for the working man of New Y( State."

However, when it appeared that Matt Troy of Queens and Meade Esposito of Brooklyn were unable to deliver their delegations to Mr. LaFalce, the Tonawanda Assemblyman quickly canvassed the floor. He then withdrew from the race and threw his support to Ms. Krupsak. Countless meetings in the aisles and halls began and lasted through the second ballot. There was substantial downstate switching away from Krupsak. Reports were circulated that Bella Abzug had persuaded Queens and Brooklyn to go from Olivieri to Cuomo. Adam Walinsky, candidate for attorney general in 1970, worked steadily to line up support for Cuomo. erpico (yes, that’s the he delivered the Clark for idorsement for U.S. Javits. Clark acob lost ititions to attempt to primary ballot. ir for Ramsey Humphrey lifts party morale Not once did he say he was “pleased as punch” to be there. Yet over 2000 people who crowded into the New York Slate Democratic Convention in Niagara Falls last Thursday evening listened with fierce enthusiasm to former Vice President Hubert H. Humphrey's keynote address. It was a rousing, powerful, humorous speech, of the few that quieted the loud murmur from delegates who seemed just a bit tired of hearing the standard political talks of the one Three ballots The first ballot gave Mr. Olivieri 39%, Mr. Cuomo 34% and Ms. Krupsak 27%. The second ballot also failed to give any candidates the necessary 51%. Mr. Olivieri received 44%, Mr. Cuomo 41.7% and Ms. Krupsak 14.3%. The third ballot finally gave Mr. Cuomo the nomination with 57.9%, while Mr. Olivieri finished with 37.6% and Ms. Krupsak 4.4%. Both Mr. Olivieri and Ms. Krupsak qualified for the primary. Mr. Olivieri has already declared his candidacy and Ms. Krupsak must decide by mid-July. The biggest surprise came in the contest for Attorney General between Bronx Borough President Robert Abrams and Rockland County District Attorney Robert Meehan. Mr. Abrams appeared the favorite and some observers expected him to receive 80% of the votes, thus denying Mr. Meehan an automatic spot on the primary ballot. However, Mr. Meehan won with 55.7%. The Abrams defeat, some of his aides alleged, was engineered by Mr. Troy in a deal which arranged the slate on geographical terms: Cuomo from downstate balanced by upstalers Alexander, Meehan and Judge Lawrence Cooke. Mr. Abrams will run in the primary. Caucus pressure The race for two Associate Judgeships on the State Court of Appeals was highlighted by pressure from the Black Caucus on behalf of Judge Harold Stevens also endorsed by the Republicans. Several announced candidates (including Jacob Fuchsberg who ran for Chief Judge last year) withdrew at the request of the Black Caucus. Mr. Stevens was nominated unanimously, while Judge Cooke edged out Bertram Harnett. However, all three will appear on the primary ballot. The nomination for U.S. Senate, which concluded the convention Saturday morning, was contested by Ramsey Clark a former U.S. Attorney General who was nominated by renowned ex-New York policeman Frank Serpico, Syracuse mayor Lee Alexander, Allard Lowenstein leader of the “Dump Johnson” movement, and Abe Hirschfeld a New York millionaire. A “Draft Ogden Reid” movement never got off the ground. It required two ballots to nominate Mr. Alexander, although Mr. Lowenstein qualified for the primary. Mr. Clark, who had little support in the State Committee, will seek the 20,000 signatures necessary for a spot on the primary ballot. The Democrats left the Convention with the slate of Mssrs. Samuels, Cuomo, Levitt, Meehan, Alexander, Stevens and Cooke. However, every candidate, except Levitt, is almost certain to face a challenge in the September 10 primary. In contrast to the Republicans who chose their ticket quietly and have the summer to plan the general election campaign, the Democrats will be faced with uncertainty until primary day. - re Invokes heros of past — — previous day. “You are first and foremost democrats." Senator Humphrey asserted. “Act and stay that way," he declared. Stronger party Mr. Humphrey questioned why New York Democrats, with a decisive voter registration advantage, were not as electorally successful as Democrats in his home stale. Minnesota. "You ought not to let a Republican have a single Congressional or state seat," the one-time presidential contender said, referring to the Republican domination of New York politics during the past decade. Mr. Humnhrev recalled the names of Franklin outstanding New York Democrats Roosevelt, Robert Wagner, Herbert Lehman and Averill Hardman. "With that heritage, you owe some performance, so knock it off friends and get together. If you can't remember your heritage, you have no future." He urged Americans to “redeem this country from the outrageous, scandalous leadership of Richard Nixon." To accomplish that, he advised. Democrats must “mix idealism with the - White House.” The significance of a Presidential election goes far beyond the winner, he asserted. you elect "You don't just elect a President judges, regulatory agencies, laws and precedents whose effects last for generations." “We must ask the people to rise up and throw the rascals out," he asserted. "There is no leader or direction in America . . . America is treading water . . . waiting for the trumpet to sound a call of leadership." Calling for the election of a “veto-proof a Congress," Senator Humphrey sought "Republican myth" that electing Democrats will lead to “legislative dictatorship." “Well we just stopped a one-man dictatorship in time King Richard, and I don't mean the Lion-Hearted either." — - Reprimands 'It's shameful how we treat our we need handicapped, ill and retarded national health insurance . . . and an equitable ... lax system." he said Mr. Humphrey asserted that "the use of the CIA. FBI and IRS against political enemies smacks of “Police-slateismV “When yoXr take care of people, he added, “they take care of their country." Noting that labor generally supports Democrats, Humphrey said "labor unions are with the Democrats only when the Democrats remember the working people. "I don't blame llte Republican Party for Watergate. They're not that stupid or clever." Mr. Humphrey said. However, he clearly laid the blame on the GOP for supporting Nixon's vetoes, impoundments and economic policies. J.P.k between winning and losing. It’s been said that losing builds character, but winning can build character too Some heckling Senator Humphrey's speech was interrupted by heckling from a young man carrying a bullhorn. He and a woman, both later identified as US. Labor Party members, were removed by security guards but not before the woman burned her cigarette into the hair of one guard. Practically ignoring the interruption, Mr. Humphrey quickly returned to the issue of government credibility. “Faith and confidence and trust comes only when we act . . . when we understand the feelings of the unemployed, the curse of racism . . He urged Democrats to “be a courageous, progressive force," Citing the Preamble to the Constitution, the Senator reminded the audience that it reads, “We the people,” not “We the Democrats” or "We the Republicans,” or “We the rich or poor, white or black.” The Constitution, he added, is “loaded with phrases to protect people from the abuses of governmental power..” Presidential gift Discussing the presidency, Mr. Humphrey said “President Nixon never won it, we gave it to him . . The man should never have gotten in the* . Friday, 21 June �DITORIAL Don't count Nixon out Only a week ago, it .looked as though Richard Nixon would not remain in office much longer. The House Judiciary Committee had discovered striking discrepancies between the edited White House transcripts and the actual tapes, and there was evidence that Nixon had known about the Watergate coverup as early as March 17, 1973, despite his assertions that he first learned of a "coverup attempt" on the 21st. Charles Colsen the man who would have walked over his grandmother to ensure Nixon's re-election had just pleaded guilty to complicity in the Ellsberg break-in, and many felt it would only be a matter of days before he told the prosecution "where all the bodies — — were buried." The US Supreme Court decided to convene a landmark summer session to determine once and for all whether a sitting president could withhold evidence from criminal proceedings. The constitutional stakes were even greater because Presidential counselor James D. St. Clair had intimated that his client might not obey the high court's mandate. Such action, claimed seasoned observers, would almost certainly result in impeachment, and quite possibly, conviction by the Senate. But while these developments appear to have signaled the beginning of the end for Mr. Nixon, there is less tangible but equally compelling evidence involving our very system of government and the mood of the American public that leads us to believe his tenure in office will remain unscathed. For one thina, American politics are as partisan as any political in the world today. In conducting its impeachment system investigation, the House Judiciary Committee a.direct by-product of the American system has not risen above this partisan-at-all-costs mentality. With each startling disclosure of possible presidential complicity, the Committee's liberal democrats immediately begin wording possible articles of impeachment, while conservative Republicans dismiss every new bombshell as “inconclusive." Despite Committee Chairman Peter Rodino's attempts to make the investigations appear nonpartisan, it is basic tenet of American politics that Republicans do not want a Republican President to be disgraced from office, no matter how blatant his abuses may be. Thus, it would not be surprising if the Judiciary Committee, unlike the Federal Grand Jury which voted 19-0 to name the President as an unindicted co-conspirator in the Watergate coverup, recommended impeachment along purely partisan lines. An in"onclusive vote by the committee would probably result in a less-than-overwhelming vote to impeach by the full House, and would virtually ensure Mr. Nixon of the 34 votes necessary for acquittal by the Senate. Any action taken by Congressmen and Senators will naturally depend heavily upon the feelings of their constituents. Because of the favorable climate that will inevitably result from his carefully-packed Madison Avenue sojourn through the Middle East, Mr. Nixon could easily strengthen his position in the Senate by selling his "preserve the office of the presidency" rhetoric to a tired and apathetic public. Instead of making Americans believe they are finally being of an increasingly repressive, unlawful government, the continuous barrage of disclosures has only injected them with a novacaine-like numbness. Like the boy who cried "wolf", whose pleas went unanswered after the fifth or sixth time, it is not difficult to become acclamated to classic Nixonian wisdoms like "we could get the cash" or "I don't give a (expletive deleted) what happens I want you to (unintelligible) stonewall it . . . even up to this point, the whole theory has been one of containment . . We have watched Mr. Nixon fire special prosecutor Archibald Cox for daring to question the sanctity of the Presidency, We have seen him refuse one subpoena after another, heard him say he might not obey the Supreme Court, and watched him mislead us again and again from in front of our television sets. How it took so long for our senses to become dulled is no small wonder. Even the most earth-shattering revelations would henceforth lem anticlimatic. Nothing surprises anyone any more — — — — — The Spectrum Vol. 25, No. 3 Larry Kraftowitz — The Pete Hamill Column Managing Editor - Amy Dunkin Managing Editor Michael O'Neill Advertising Manager Gerry McKeen Business Manager Neil Collins - — The smoke was thick and dirty brown as it billowed out of the fifth floor yesterday at 305 E. 45th Street. You could not see through that smoke. It was thick and arid, blotting out the clear summer sky, and the street soon filled with 22 pieces of equipment, long snaking lengths of hose, puddled water, crowds of the curious. The firemen piled into the building, attacking the fire from ladders with fire extinguishers, as the people looked on. Not one of them ever heard of a man named Harold Hoey. "Harold Hoey?” a young black guy said, "Let's see he a ballplayer?" An older woman asked if Harold Hoey lived in the building next door. Another man said he thought he was a politician. But every one of them had heard of Henry Kissinger. That’s the way the world rewards the true heroes. I thought about Harold Hoey as the firemen fought their way into that building yesterday, the same one that had blown up last April, and 1 wondered how many times Hoey had run into buildings like this and come into the daylight afterwards with his eyes run and hurting, his lungs scalded, his nose running and filled with impacted lumps of black soot and smoke. I don’t know. I didn’t know Harold Hoey. But on Wednesday Harold Hoey died while doing his job, and this city didn't really seem to care. Hoey was a fireman. He was a hell of a fireman, a 34-year-old veteran who only the week before received a medal for the rescue he made last October in the Bronx, At that time, he saved 14-year-old Maria Rivera who was trapped in a burning building on Willis Avenue and then ran back into the flames and rescued 34-year-old Carmclia Valey. That girl and that woman might live out long lives now, thanks to Harold Hoey’s guts and dedication. He didn’t ask if they were Puerto Rican or Cuban or black. He didn’t ask them how much money they had in the bank. He didn’t ask what marks the girl got in school or how the woman voted. They were human beings. They were going to burn to death. And Harold Hoey saved them. That was his job, and he did it. On Wednesday night, there was a fire in a five-story building at 412 E. 148th St., and Hoey and the other men of Ladder I 7'"responded. Hoey was in the bucket of a 75-foot tower ladder with Fireman Francis Duffy and they were trying to rescue an 86-year-old man and his 76-year-old wife.

Friday, 21 June 1974 So I was thinking about Hoey yesterday, as I watched this other group of firemen do the toughest, most dangerous job in the town. And I wondered if 52 U.S. Senators would rise in testimony to Harold Hoey this week, or whether any judge would say the kind of wonderful things about Harold Hoey as the judge said about Richard Kleindienst after he became the second Cabinet member of this century to be convicted of a crime. And 1 thought about the outrageous inequities in the way we perceive the true heroes of our time. Henry Kissinger made the cover of Time and Newsweek after the Middle East pact was made; but doesn’t anybody remember that he supported the invasion of Cambodia? Kissinger was the man who went along with Nixon's barbaric Christmas bombing of Hanoi, bombing, we now learn from Foreign Policy magazine, that was done to force our ally. Gen. Thieu, into accepting a peace that Hanoi had already accepted. But Kissinger is famous, even honored. He threatens Congress into a vote of confidence. And Harold Hoey dies, without magazine covers, without parades, without a platitude or two from some cheap politician. But 1 know this: a hundred Henry Kissingers would not make one Harold Hoey. Kissinger believes in history, believes in its icy abstractions and the rights of history makers to kill or maim in the name of large propositions. But Harold Hoey believed in life. He gave life to people on the streets on the meanest parts of town. He let people breathe, and grow, and taste the wonders of this poor earth. We can struggle through somehow without Kissinger. But it’s a tough, hard day when we lose a Harold Hoey. And my mother in Albuquerque . . our new first . floor room.

He fell back four stories and landed on his own fire truck. Other firemen rushed to save the trapped couple and Harold Hoey was rushed to Jacobi Hospital where he died. When it was over, and Hoey was dead, he reached out in the name of life. His wife was there at the hospital, and she agreed that some of Hoey’s skin could be used in a grafting operation on another fireman, a man named Alfred Bold, who had received burns over 75 per cent of his body in a Jamaica firehouse explosion last month. Apparently, Hoey had talked often about his brother fireman. “If Harry were here now,” Doris Hoey said, “he certainly would have wanted it that way.” by Pete Hamill (c) The New York Post Corporation To the Editor Friday, 21 June 1974 Editor-in-Chief 'A WRITTEN APOLOGY IN TRIPLICATE WILL SUFFICII' msec fHsmjrs TOU?

This year, with a new, young elected school board about to take office on July 1;with the Mayor cutting services, abolishing over 700 jobs and still having to raise taxes to meet over $15 million in increased pension, debt service and utility costs; with a $7.8 million increase in state aid for Buffalo public schools; with a declining enrollment; with daytime schools boarded up and locked like prisons; with city parents seeking free bus passes to send their children to suburban high schools; with only 143 more blacks since 1966 attending the city’s premier academic high school but 595 fewer whites and race problems no longer the saving excuse; with a censored newspaper at the same high school; with tenured secondary school principals who have forgotten that teachers should be educating children and whose chief contribution to a new high school design was closed-circuit television in the halls monitored by a dozen security guards; with decisive parent involvement systematically stifled; with 51 downtown supervisors for 86 schools, all making over $20,000 a year, who seem to show up in classrooms only when a teacher pushes the system or deviates from the curriculum; with every other major city in this state experimenting with at least one publically-funded “alternative” high school where the program revolves around the student; with racial problems' subsiding into demands from black and white alike for an atmosphere that is innovative and educationally uplifting; with the quality of public education as the singular key to keeping people in the city with all this, our school leadership, especially principals, are still chosen not because they can lead, but because they can pass tests and keep their problems out of the newspapers; our schools are run on the theories, curricula and scheduling that was good enough 20 years ago; and our educational bureaucracy saves its greatest rewards for those who can do other work besides teach children. Finally, in this atmosphere, with all this, the appointed outgoing school board came before the new Common Council demanding, as it always has in the past, more money to do the same things in the same ways. They didn’t even try. The city was facing financial disaster. The Board answered our questions with arrogant, slick, irrevelant answers. When the Council said no by not voting the extra money, it was a message that the same old ways are just not good enough. It all goes way beyond a top-heavy downtown bureaucracy, “fat-cat salaries’' and the Superintendent's new Oldsmobile. It was an appeal for a new urgency and some bold imagination in a lethargic, complacent old system. Our position is founded on a hope that the entrenched education establishment can find the leadership somewhere to revitalize itself and that somehow a fresh school board can find the energy to keep that establishment until our moving and searching and changing schools and our city come alive again. This is nothing less than the same message the new Council has tried to send to the rest of City Hall. Things are going to be different and this city is going to stay alive. Our backs are to the wall but the juggernauts are being sidetracked and we have just begun to fight. Welcome home to Buffalo those hundreds of thousands of you who have never left us. Friday, 21 June 1974 . The Spectrum . - Z Page eleven �TRB -SW8 ■-w from Washington June 18 1974 Christ.” There are few scoffers left today, fortunately, like H.L. Mencken or Francios Rabelais, to jeer at honest emotion. By the way, where did they jail those Cubans? While the Watergate melodrama is played out, and even following President Nixon to Cairo in Kissinger’s resignation threat, two quite extraordinary things have happened on the inflation front, Italy all but declared itself insolvent and threatened anew the possibility of a worldwide, trade-war, financial smash. At the same time, in the House, one of the most powerful men in Congress, Wilbur Mills, chairman of the Ways and Means Committee, unexpectedly came out for a reimposition of wage-price controls. On the international front the situation is shaky with industrial countries all sharing much the same problems and each thinking itself uniquely unfortunate. Oil prices quadrupled after a brief global boom, 1972-73, blew its top. Purchasing power is reduced because $50-$60 billion have gone into higher energy costs and inflation everywhere is frightening. Each nation is thinking about recouping its losses and curing its unfavorable trade balance by exporting more goods, which means putting itself into the black by putting somebody else into the red. Few people realize just how treacherous the world situation is. The temptation is to grab the protectionist bottle and drown your troubles. Washington is no exception. To some it recalls 1929. The United States passed the Hawley-Smoot tariff and the doomed Hoover signed it. That brought a world trade war and helped produce Hitler. On the domestic front, meanwhile, conservative Mills’ sudden embracing of wage-price controls is quite extraordinary. He knows as well as anyone that this is about the most unpopular course that could be offered. But in a quiet, effective speech he showed that he is frightened frightened as Chairman Arthur Burns of the Fed, who says that the present 12 per cent inflations put the country “in jeoparty.” Mills says that if we don’t control the problem, “our country will suffer terribly.” Mills wants an austere federal budget; he is willing to make talc copcessions to help the poor meet skyrocketing costs biit-dply if a larger amount is raised by closing tax loopholes. Organized labor will fight Mills’ proposal for the average industrial worker’s family is about 6 per cent behind where it was a year ago in real spending power, and it doesn’t want its catch-up drive frozen by controls. Like the ‘Cubans” mentioned above, the poor and defenseless always suffer most. Wealth at the rate of $10 billion annually is now flowing from the lowest three-fifths of America’s income groups to the richest one-fifth. Taxes are preposterously unfair; fewer than 1 per cent of the people currently own over 50 per cent of the corporate stock in the country. Corporate profits rose 36 per cent from 1971 to 1973. It is hard to see that Mr. Nixon, beleaguered as he is, has any plan. He assured the country the other day that “the effects of the recent oil shortage have passed.” He is the same man who called the doubtful Smithsonian international agreement on fixed rates of exchange in 1971 the most significant monetary agreement in the history of the world.” (It has collapsed.) Treasury Secretary Simon seems eager to let put the economy through the wringer unemployment rise where it will. Certainly there is no easy solution. But Rep. Mills’ approach seems more comprehensive and somewhat more The administration is putting oh a tearjerker morality play here in Washington these days and 1 hope you are all edified by it. If we didn’t have this performance you might be thinking about something serious, like inflation and what it’s doing to your pocketbook, and the poor, and the old folks, and the chances of putting the kids through college. I will come back to that in a minute. But first a look at the heartthrob drama; a little tremolo music please. There is this federal chief law enforcer, attorney general Kleindienst, for example; all he did was to lie under oath to the Senators confirming him and he has been treated with admirable compassion. Special prosecutor Jaworski allowed him to plead to a lesser charge instead of perjury because, after all, he is a member of the legal profession and held a role of supreme trust. So when it came to sentencing him the judge gave him a one-month sentence (suspended) and a $100 fine and his eyes moistened as he told defendant that he was a man of ‘highest integrity” betrayed by a heart that is too loyal.” Defendant broke down, too. (Three Jaworski staff members resigned, but there are always these recalcitrants.) This is only the latest scene in the touching drama. There was also that fine, handsome man Spiro Agnew who was vice president, you remember him. There was only one drawback about him he was a crook. But, so what? The Justice Department let him off after a behind-the-scenes interval of plea-bargaining, with a nolo contendere (no contest) plea, which the judge demurely explained was "the full equivalent of a plea of guilty.” It is only the Cubans who go to jail. We should not slight Mr. Nixon himself. He has warm- sympathy from supporters in his various plights. After all, he is manfully turning back every cent Of that half-million dollar income tax over-withholding, isn’t he? And he got large, enthusiastic crowds abroad as our first unindicted co-conspirator presidential envoy. America is a sentimental nation, always eager to be charmed. This applies to Mr Nixon's ultimate tough guy, Chuck’ Colson, who thought up those entertaining dirty tricks on his opponents, like prompting Howard Hunt to doctor State Department documents to make it seem that President Kennedy had planned the murder of President Diem of South Vietnam. Funny things like that. We always feel that there is good in every man: Colson has zest and brio, and now this man who told his staff that he would walk over his own grandmother to elect Mr Nixon has got religion. It should be an inspiration to us. Sen. Hughes of Iowa, who is leaving the Senate to become an evangelist, says of Colson’s new outlook that he is “a baby in compassionate. ‘ - ‘ - Outside Liking In- by Clem Colucci Several months ago, on September 26, to be exact, 1 did a column on the commercial potential of the Watergate scandal. Little did I realize that I’d be able to get some mileage out of the same idea almost a year later. Here, then, is a leaked memo from the Chairman of the Board of Watergate Enterprises, Inc. To: The Board of Directors, Watergate Enterprises, Inc From: Dita Beard, Chairperson Re: The corporation’s first year Despite an unpredictable economy and an understandable reluctance among potential investors to get involved, Watergate Enterprises, Inc.’s first year has been sound, if not quite up to our initial expectations. To ensure better returns in the coming fiscal year, we must institute better management and control. In this regard, I am pleased to announce that we have engaged the services of Mr. Maurice Stans, former Secretary of Commerce and, most importantly, a former Watergate star, as Vice President for Financial Planning and Control. I’m sure all will agree that Mr. Stans is highly qualified in that area and will be a welcome addition to the corporation. As you all know, his appointment was doubtful for some time because he was involved in litigation that could have tied him up for a number of years. I’m happy to report that this matter has been cleared up. But better management is not enough. In a business such as ours, so dependent on shifts and fluctuations in the public consciousness, we must constantly review our products and services to eliminate those that no longer hold the public’s fancy and introduce new ones. A review of our current line will illustrate. Our venture into prime-time television, Tony’s Town (a television series based on hilarious Watergate witness Tony Ulasewicz), has run into unforeseen snags. Norman Lear isn’t interested unless we push the ethnic angle. There is little cuase for worry, however, because we just signed Mr. Ulasewicz’s memoirs for a mere $500,000. Our people in Media Promotion tell me that Random House may be available for the actual publishing arrangements in which case Silvers and Epstein at New York Review are solidly behind it. If the book goes and there’s no reason to think it won’t Lear should come around. If not. .. Our Sam Ervin related products are still doing well, though the lack of constant television exposure has hurt sales slightly the last two quarters. The same can’t be said for our line of Howard Baker items. He hasn’t been able to hold the public imagination as well as Ervin and the vice-presidential boomlet has had it. Unless we can get it going again, 1 shall recommend to the Board that we drop our Baker line. Unhappily, we failed in our attempts to persuade Ervin to remain in the Senate so we will have to cut back after 1977. The John J. Wilson book of ethnic etiquette is dying a slow and horrible death. If we can get more exposure for that little one-armed Jap Inoyue, maybe it will help sales. Spiro Agnew you refused to promote remember him, he used to be Vice President the volume.

The Spectrum . Friday, 21 June 1974 �Magic Lantern by Jay Boyar Ever since Poe’s Murders In the Rue Morgue, the first detective story as such, murder mysteries have generally demanded a uniform type of mental gymnastics on the part of the reader/viewer, A murder is committed, a gallery of suspects is introduced, and then the viewer must, by a process of deductive elimination, discover the real murderer. Often the killer ends up being someone fairly like the “butler” or, these days, the innocuous — janitor. The Midnight Man, Burt Lancaster’s latest film, is interesting in that it reverses the viewer’s usual ''pftreess of ratiocination. Instead of the janitor being the unsuspected murderer, he is the innocent prime suspect. And instead of using a process' of elimination to deduce the killer’s identity, the viewer must employ a process of inclusion : that is, he must try to logically implicate as many people in the crime as possible. Briefly, The MM is the story of Jim Slade (Lancaster), an ex-con who served his time for shooting his wife’s lover. Slade gets a job with the campus security at a local college. Dyed-in-the-wool such people must exist will Burt Lancaster fans want to know th.it Burt’s allegedly-cute son, William, plays the boyfriend of the girl who is murdered. Lancaster afficionados will also be glad to hear that not only does Burt star in this film, but he in tandem with Ronald Kibbee additionally produced it, directed it, and wrote the screenplay based on the novel, The Midnight Lady and the Mourning Man by David Anthony. - — - - Chrisma Seeing Burt Lancaster act in this vehicle, it becomes more apparent to me why he is (was?) a superstar. While his portrayal of Slade did not take very much artistry to achieve, Lancaster has a “gimmick” that must have been very attractive to generations of filmgoers. His face is a crazy cross between a wildman's and a teddy bear’s, and in either case it is chisled out of sandstone. Listening to and terrible — line like, “I’m him spit out a typical my but Linda, neck, and I’ve got to do it sorry it’s my way!" gives a clue to his appeal. He has a way of pausing in his speech or moving his eyes slightly which brings an odd accent to the ordinary. Result: a corny but at the same time pleasant disorientation which forces us to pay attention and, often, believe his character. Making the ordinary dramatic and surprising in this way is fine for an actor, especially one who is in control of his scenes. But when a film is acted, written, and directed this way, there is the feeling that every effect has been programmed, every gasp — - is organized so that we can see with excruciating clarity who is on the screen instead of being set up for maximum advancement of the story each scene - and themes. The Murder Mystery While practically every frame shows one of the actors in vivid detail, the worst instance of “plot obscuring” comes near the movie’s end. The solution to the murder, which might be interesting if read and re-read in a book, is completely lost as Lancaster narrates several paragraphs of “solution.” It goes by too fast as if it didn’t matter; as if an entirely literal, non-visual explanation would do. This only emphasizes the film’s rather pedestrian aspect of violent action while sweeping the more interesting aspect of discovering the culprit under the carpet. It looks like The MM’s murder mystery is simply an excuse for action scenes rather than having the action grow out of the mystery. If I were of a less-charitable nature, I might even suggest that fledgling-director Lancaster made an over-long film, and then decided to cut out the final “solution” scenes to make the movie a more manageable length, replacing those scenes with a few seconds of narrative explanation. - Mickey Mouse To speculate, Lancaster's own the ultimate irony comes in statement about his job as director/actor: “There is a problem in directing yourself. You become so immersed in a scene as the director that you don’t respond on the same acting level as the other actors when you switch from directing.” What may account for his feeling that he is emphasizing his job as director is that Lancaster, basically an actor, has come to view any slight modification in his concept of a movie project in response to his directorial chores, as a grand "immersion’ in directing. Still, he is an actor (or, perhaps, a celebrity) at heart, and he thinks of scenes in terms of actors faces. In the end, it doesn’t pay to be too harsh on The MM It s a cheap but suspenseful flick, it has action and it moves along. Also, Lancaster does a pretty good acting job, as Slade, and so does Cameron Mitchell (The High Chapparal) as Slade’s friend, Quartz. Susan Clark (The Skin Game, Tel! Them Willie Boy Is Here ) as Slade’s parole officer/lover is too loud and fake, and so is the terribly obtrusive song that ends the movie. Still, the detective story super-structure, though underplayed, is sufficiently ingenious to be satisfying. Should it go by too fast for you (and it just might) write to me and well, I’ll explain it. - Summerfest Clapton The Band at Rich Stadium , 1 can’t believe it. Eric Clapton and The Band on tour. What can I say? That the two best living rock guitarists, and all in all some of the best rock and roll musicians from either side of the Atlantic are touring together? Why would these acts, both with a celebrated history of reticence (it’s been three years since Clapton did a tour, had been three for the Band until the Dylan tour), hit the road again? Maybe they popped their heads out one day, saw the world of rock turning into one big ball of multi-CGlSred ten-cent glitter and decided they’d better remind everyone of what it’s really all about. Clapton’s history of outstanding achievements hardly needs stating, but just to get the adrenalin flowing, let’s indulge. The Yardbirds, Mayall’s Bluesbreakers, Cream, Blind Faith, Delaney and what? Bonnie and Friends, Derek and the Dominoes, and now Similarly, The Band, besides elevating Dylan’s music ten levels above everything else whenever they back him up (as was proven in the recent tour), is considered by many, including me, to be the best rock band around. They are also one of the most musically exciting acts ever to hit a stage tight, incredibly subtle, and overwhelmingly right there all the time. What makes this particular show even more worth looking forward to is that both Clapton and The Band will probably be playing new his music. Eric has a new album coming out 461 Ocean Boulevard first studio LP in four years. The Band is also overdue for that new album Robbie Robertson’s been talking about for so long. As expected, Carl Radle will be backing up Clapton on bass, along with George Terry, Jamie Oldaker, Dick Sims and Yvonne Elliman. Opening the show will be British group Ross.

Dylan/Band tour, put out by Rolling Stone Magazine. It’s called Knockin' 'On Dylan’s Door, and I often felt that’s exactly what the reporter was doing. Six out of twelve pieces done by one of Rolling Stone's regulars, Ben Fong-Torres, smacked of the kind of fan magazine voyeurism that leaves a bad taste in your mouth. Trivial trivia. Who cares what Dylan was wearing in Philly, or what he talked about with Georgia Governor Jimmy Carter, or that he only eats vegetables? (Rolling Stone obviously thinks a lot of people do care.) The reporter constantly reminds us of Dylan’s desire for privacy, then goes right ahead, hounding Bob for interviews, nosing his way into private parties and reunions, asking inane questions like: “Would you like to be a movie star?” I CLEARANCEeCLEARANCEeCLEARANCE Boots!

(Find out which of the concerts were truly immediate sellouts. Hear how Bill Graham played basketball with the Madison Square Garden crew!) However, a few pieces really are worth reading. Although they all untimately end up at a specific concert on the tour, they are more commentaries on Dylan than reviews of his performances. Ralph Gleason, Ellen Willis, and Nat Hentoff have written admittedly subjective, but nevertheless quite perceptive commentaries on the influence Dylan has had on the world, the world of music, and themselves.

It wouldn't have cost him the lead but the wheel wouldn’t come loose and Oliver had passed him before the tire could be replaced. Follmer took off after Oliver, who began to vibrate badly. It looked like Follmer might catch him but Oliver’s Shadow had enough in reserve to gather in the win. It was a sweet victory for Oliver, who has been with the heretofore unsuccessful Shadow team since 1971. It was his first victory in a major race in nearly four years. Follmer's fastest lap at 118:66 mph eclipsed the previous Can-Am lap record at Mosport, establishing the Shadows as the cars to beat.

Gaining ground But when the flag fell under skies threatening to drown the feature event, and while Follmer pulled away into an easy lead, Oliver was doing a masterful job of carving his way through the pack. Before the first lap had been completed, he was in fourth place and a lap later, he pulled away from everyone and went after the lead Shadow. Under orders not to pass Follmer, the Shadows looked like they would finish 1-2. They did. But farther back, Patrick was undisputedly third and Nagel ran a solid fourth.

Operating off this newly-adopted budget, Buffalo schools will eliminate all interscholastic sports, adult education programs, and busing programs neighborhood and for purposes of cross-town integration. In addition, funds will no longer be made available for cafeteria services, library materials, accredidation fees and the non-academic use of school facilities. The Board’s action is designed to eliminate an operating deficit of $3.5 million incurred during the past year, and to prevent a projected shortage of $7.3 million for 1974-75. The austerity budget was adopted at a special session of the Board of Education Monday in response to the Common Council’s failure to pass a supplementary budget of $3.1 million dollars which had been recommended earlier by Mayor Stanley Makowski. The mayor’s proposal would have allowed the present fiscal year to end without the Board going into the red, but would not have provided funds - - necessary for schools to operate without deficit spending during the coming year. Productivity ‘The problem is not the budget, but how the budget is spent,” explained University district Councilman Bill Price. “We need innovative and exciting programs and 1 feel that in my district at least, the Board has been unresponsive to these needs Mr. Price cited the successful innovative programs in his district’s elementary schools, most notably the open classroom set-up at Public Schools 66 and 86. “Programs like these are the greatest single factor in keeping people in the city,” he said. “Unfortunately, creative programs like these have not been carried over to the more advanced schools. The upper echelon of the Board of Education has become lethargic, and teachers are not being utilized to the fullest of their commitment.” The Board and a number of by Sparky Alzamofa professors afraid to verbalize their opinions, Dr. Segal warned. Campus Editor Disagreeing with Dr. Segal, Facul t y-Senate outgoing that professors they Chairman Gil Moore said he found would not be fired for anything untenured to be as professors less than gross incompetence has become a hot issue in recent “articulate, verbal and active as months.

Newsweek magazine. Although rapidly expanding college enrollments during the 1960’s underscored the need for increasing numbers of faculty, rising tuition costs and reductions — Funding priorities ‘The schools of Buffalo are not the number one priority of the Council,” agreed Leonard Sikora, principal of nearby Bennett High School. Because the city has a limited amount of money to work with and schools are “not the primary consideration,” some activities and programs have to go. When All—High Stadium may remain deserted this school year if the Board of this happens you do not have a Education's austerity budget goes into effect. first class school system,” Mr. Sikora said. when your own city government members is that the chances are The Board was successful in won’t’.” indeed slim. securing additional state funding The mayor’s proposed recently, but the funds were supplementary budget was a Only alternative earmarked for specific programs modified response to the Board’s Arnold Gardner, the board and could not be integrated into original request of $5 million. member who introduced the the overall budget as the board “There is still one more Council austerity budget resolution, had hoped. Dr. Manch indicated meeting before adjournment and characterized it as the “only there is “no way of expecting any it is conceivable, although not alternative.” Austerity budgets are further funding of that kind from likely, that the budget will be mandated by state law for any the state.

However, the proposed budget is defeated by should we do any more for you indication from several council —continued on page 2— does it provide excellence or stagnation Tenure Tenure local administrators insist their effectiveness is impaired by inadequate funding from the Common Council. “The board has tried to come up with a balanced budget,” said Joseph Manch, Supervisor of the Board of Education. “Last fall when it appeared that we would run into the red for the current year, the Common Council indicated that the matter would be taken care of, Dr. Manch stressed. at one time a virtual guarantee to - Outspokeness on the part of untenured faculty “depends on the nature of the institution and its environment,” maintained William Allen, professor of History. Tracing the employment crunch to present economic conditions, Faculty-Senate secretary Mac Hammond explained that someone might be hired at a starting salary of $10,000, have it raised to $15,000, and then lose his job without becoming eligible for tenure. “It’s not so much a problem that they can get in, it’s that they can’t stay,” Dr. Hammond said. “The pinch is on.” ‘Locked in Indeed, the supply of talented PhD’s far exceeds the demand in today’s academic market place. Because many faculty tenured during the last decade were relatively young, some colleges face the problem of having nearly half of their present faculties “locked in” until the end of the century. Consequenily , administrators are actively searching for alternatives to tenure to allow greater flexibility for growth. One highly controversial policy that has been experimental with is the system called “tenure quotas.” October 29, 1973 marked a watershed in the history of tenure. On that day, the City University of New York (CUNY) became the nation’s first major university to numerically restrict the proportion of tenured faculty. According to the new policy, once a majority of a department’s members had received tenure, “specific justification” would be required for the granting of tenure to others. The new regulations were intended to provide more exibility by generating “a more rigorous scrutiny of academic and professional capabilities of each City University faculty member by his peers and college president,” explained CUNY Chancellor Robert J. Kibbee. Last April, however, CUNY’s new Board of Higher Education revoked the former Board’s highly controversial tenure quota policy. Emphasizing the need to attract “superior quality faculty, “the BHE reinstated the original standards and procedures for - tenure. —continued on page 10— �Buffalo schools Colonial struggle ... the “very important and vital referendum.

The talks have resulted from the April 25 overthrow of the repressive Caetano dictatorship of Portugal, by the Armed Forces Movement headed by General Spinola. Opposed to their country’s continual emphasis on a military victory in the African colonies, the liberal military movement removed all leading figures from government posts and declared its intention of ending the colonial wars. In addition, the Spinola group dissolved the right-wing National Assembly, lifted restrictions on the press and political parties, arrested members of the hated secret police, formed a broad provisional coalition government, and announced it would make preparations for democratic elections marking the end of 48 years of dictatorial government. - Struggle for independence Although Spinoia desires an end to the wars, he has not agreed to give full independance to Angola, Mozambique, and Guinea-Bissau, which it has controlled since the end of the 1800’s. Portugal has exploited cheap labor and resources, while the Africans have lived in poverty, lacking medical care, education, and political rights. Liberation movements in all three countries, have been struggling for their independence since the late 1950’s. The African Party for the Independence of Guinea-Bissau and the Cape Verde Islands (PAIGC), founded by Amilcar Cabral in 1956, claimed control of two-thirds Guinea-Bissau in 1968. By 1972, the United Nations Committee on Decolonization recognized the PAIGC as the only representative of the people of Guinea-Bissau. In September 1973, the PAIGC proclaimed the independence of Guinea-Bissau. According to the Guardian, June 5, 1974, a representative of the PAIGC said to reporters at the current London meetings; “We have been recognized as an independant state by nearly 90 countries. We have observer status just like West Germany got a year ago at the UN.” — - U.S. involvement? Nevertheless, Portugal and her allies continued to wage war against Guinea-Bissau. Basil Davidson, a British writer who has traveled extensively with the PA'IGC; in Guinea-Bissau, claims in his book, The colonial wars. With the growing public reports of possible CIA arid ITT participation in the 1973 coup in Chile, that overthrew Socialist, Salvador Allende, this warning will probably lead to close scrutiny on the part of many progressive-minded people. In Angola, the Popular Movement for the Liberation of Angola (MPLA), has been fighting since 1961, when the UN Security Council called on Portugal to halt its massacre of Angola’s citizens. By 1967, more than 50,000 Portuguese soldiers were sent to war in Angola. Angola is rich in oil, iron, copper and other resources, which many foreign corporations (including Gulf Oil) are tapping under protection of Portuguese troops and money and equipment from NATO. Fighting fascism „ln Mozambique, the Front (FRELIMO), has independence since 1960. military aid from South Mozambique Liberation been fighting for its In 1971, Portugal sought Africa and Rhodesia to supress the growing liberation struggle. FRELIMO feels there is a vast difference between the old government' and the Portuguese people. In recent talks between FRELIMO and the new Portuguese government, FRELIMO leader Samora Machel was quoted as saying: “We have fought against colonialism and fascism, not against the Portuguese people.” All three national iberation organizations have Spinola's offer of being part of a rejected Portuguese-African “Federation,” and say that they will continue to fight for full independence. Two major parties in Portugal, the Socialist and parties, Communist are represented in the provisional government and support independence for the three African nations. The new Portuguese Foreign Minister, Socialist leader Mario Soares, is heading the delegation that is meeting with the PA1GC representatives, “Mr. Soares and several other ministers believe that the right to independence should be recognized without much further delay,” stated the New York Times of June 4. While the present situation appears positive for both the Portuguese and African people, dangers of a setback still exist. Alvaro Cunhal, General Secretary of the Portuguese Communist Party, said in an interview with the Cuban newspaper, Granma, May 19, 1974: “It is naive to think that fascism has given in and abandoned all hope of returning to power. The fascists maintain important positions. The counter-revolution is working in the shadows, with the active backing of imperialist agents sent to Portugal.” UNIVERSITY PHOTO 355 Norton Hall Summer hours Wednesday 2 5 & Thursday 10-5 Passports S 3.oo for 3 Applications - The Spectrum is published Monday, Wednesday and Friday during the academic year and on Friday only during the summer months by The Spectrum Student Periodical Inc.

Pemasilice, accused of slaying an Attica prison guard. He added: “We ask for particulars and we get stuff like ‘in the center of J|ie prison at 10 a.m.’ What kind of information is that?” Although all of the defense motions have been refuted by the state appellate division, the defense is planning to make further appeals either to the U.S. Court of Appeals or Federal Court, according to Mr. Schwartz. Messrs. Fellner, Burns and Schwartz claim the state has tapped their telephones and spied upon them, although Mr. Simonetti strongly denies this. The defense also contends that the state has spent a total of $4 million to prosecute the 61 defendants, while Mr. Simonette insists he cannot pinpoint the figure. Three years later, Attica trial is still marked hy countless delays - Brothers Legal Defense. “They refuse to recognize us when it comes to giving us money for our defense,” Mr. Fellmer said. “But when we receive motions, writs and court orders they are always addressed to the Attica Brothers Legal Defense,” he explained. Special Assistant Attorney General Anthony G. Simonetti, who is directing the State’s case, has termed the Attica investigations “incredibly complex” because more that 1,000 witnesses were present at the retaking of the prison’s D yard, where 10 prison employees and 29 inmates were killed by gunfire from state troopers. “There Time has moved slowly since the day 43 men died in the bloodshed at Attica. After three years, the indictments of 61 present and former Attica inmates for murder, coercion and other crimes remain bogged' down in countless motions, appeals and legal complexities. Several court decisions are pending, and # second Grand Jury may soon hand down further indWments against some of the law officers involved in suppressing the uprising. In the most recent courtroom dispute, the Fair Jury Project a group of volunteer researchers, statisticians and mathematicians presented evidence that the jury selection process in Erie County discriminates against blacks, women and young people. After determining that blacks were underrepresented in jury selections by 34%< women by 68% and persons between the ages of 18 and 30 by 84%, the Attica Defense Committee asked State Supreme Court Justice Carman F. Ball to strike the present - Plea-bargaining In a recent development, all of the defendants received letters from Judge Ball suggesting that they could receive reduced sentences if they pleaded guilty. However, - jury system. Jury discrimination “Every other Jury system in Erie County is messed up,” explained Patty Stanko, who has been organizing support for the Attica defendants at the State University Buffalo. “Our assumption is that the Attica Brothers’ jury will be of the same makeup." The 18-month study was originally undertaken to support beliefs that the original indictments returned by the Wyoming County Grand Jury (where the Attica Correctional Faciltiy is located) were discriminatory. The rural character of Wyoming County, the Attica defense hacT'asserted, was alien to the thinking and experience of the men in prison. When a “change of venue" was granted to Buffalo because of its significant Black and Hispanic populations and not to New York City as had been requested, the defense hoped to prove that even Buffalo was hostile territory by exposing its procedures for jury selection. Justice Gilbert F. King has not yet decided whether the juries are in fact peers of the Attica defendants, but if he rules for the defense, Erie County will have to begin the lengthy process of re-selecting jurors. at *■ No joint defense In the meantime, as many as fifty lawyers have been handling the Attica defense under the umbrella of the Attica Brothers Legal Defense (ABLD), coordinated by Heywood Burns, former director of the National Council of Black Lawyers. Despite the existence of this group, the state “will not reognize the Attica Brothers Legal Defense,” according to Gene Fellner, administrative secretary of ABLD. After petitioning the state for more more than two years, the defense was allocated S750.000 to help pay for legal expenses, but this money will be shelved out to individual lawyers for individual cases, not to the Attica mcniece were and are thousands of interviews to conduct,” Mr Simonetti said in an interview with the New York Times "The retaking aspect itself involves 1,500 to 2,500 people who were witnesses and participants in something that took seconds, minutes. It's more difficult to investigate than events which occurred with not the same rapidity,” Of the 61 defendants awaiting trial more than half are out on parole or on bail, 15 are residing in the Erie County Lack of cooperation The defense feels the state's investigation has been grossly inaccurate, and has gone to court on three separate occasions to prove it. "We claim the prosecution has been niggardly in turning over material to us,” asserted Herman Jail, and the remainder are scattered among correctional facilities in Clinton.

Page three �DITORIAL Making dollars count Faced with the prospect of no interscholastic athletics, adult education, cafeteria or busing programs for the Buffalo schools, the Common Council and Board of Education will have to make some far-reachinq decisions about what kind of school system they want the city to have. For years, Buffalo has lived under the shadow of a regressive tax structure that favors the smaller suburban school systems at the expense of its own 80-plus schools. With a vast state bureaucracy in Albany unwilling to part with more dollars than each district can collect for its own schools from property taxes, a “real estate poor" city like Buffalo is being screwed internally and externally. The city has joined several impoverished school districts throughout the state in a class action suit against Albany for inadequate funding. While full state funding of Buffalo schools has been the goal of Board of Education Supervisor Joseph Manch and other Buffalo leaders, and would probably eliminate the schools' financial woes, giving them all the money they need could make them so complacent they may perpetuate the stagnation that has been gripping many of the cities' schools. What Buffalo really needs, as University District Councilman Bill Price has pointed out, is a just share of the state funding independent of where students live, combined with a revamping of its educational programs. In a city filled with qualified teachers and an ethnically-diversified body of students, the current. appointed Board of Education has not taken many steps to do exciting things with its schools. Pouring every available dollar into a school system that has stood stilj and has at times been guilty of careless spending will only perpetuate that system. The first elected officials ever to sit on the Buffalo Board of Education will take office July 1. We hope that the board being political by nature will be responsive to individual residents of their districts and will pump some fresh blood into the city's schools. In the meantime, the Common Council should temporarily relieve the current crisis by passing the $3.1 million supplemental budget recommended bv Mayor Makowski, and should think about ways of working closely with the Board in the planning of future budgets. Far reaching changes are indeed needed, but a better school system will not grow out of the ruins of an — — austerity program.

Editor Trash With Claudine, the problem is a lack of "commitment." Sure it's committed to — being folksy, to seeming optimistic, to drawing an audience (of course), and to stating 'The Truth" as its director John Berry puts it (in an interview with the Buffalo Evening News). "Most people live lives in our present social structure. Our society faces incredible changes. Fifty per cent of marriages end in divorce. No marriage is made without the possibility of divorce. The old bromide of 'love forever' is gone under the garbage heap." What is this Berry anyway: a filmmaker or a pop high school psychology teacher? While he tried to be committed to all of the above, his "Heart and Soul Comedy" film lacks any commitment to film or comedy. It's as if Berry had this great "message" to tell, added some jokes to it because, as any child knows, "a spoonful of sugar helps the medicine go down," and then made a film out of it because people go to movies. No real concern for comedy; none for cinema. And his "message" about marriage and divorce is standard talk-show patter aimed at middle-brow consciousness. Lines like "love is when a man brings the groceries instead of eating yours" leave no ‘Claudira’ alienated doubt about the shallowness of that "message." Whoops appeal Too bad. What makes Claudine worth a look is not that it is a good movie or even an almost-good one, but rather a splendid example of opportunities missed. What I mean is, since its "philosophy", is so uninspired, and since it is uninteresting comedy situations, problem miraculous and tricky resolutions and like (usually) a concluding wedding comedies Shakespeare's or Plautus' or those of Moliere. As Claudine begins, it encourages high hopes that it will be a comedy in this tradition and then, finally, shatters these hopes leaving us with nothing much to replace them. The situation around which the plot centers is a very fertile one alive with conflicts, problems and tensions that beg to be comically resolved. It is the romance story of a welfare recipient (Claudine) and a garbage man (Roop). Claudine has six with — — — kids to look after and a pittance to bankroll the operation. Her eldest daughter (unmarried) gets pregnant, her eldest son becomes a criminal revolutionary, and her whole family keeps up a running battle with the Welfare Department. Her lover, Roop, is being sued by his former wife for not amply supporting their children (he has cinematically, the only thing that might three), the garbage company cuts his pay, have saved it is for it to have succeeded and the government bureaucracy seems purely as a comedy. — Magic Lantern There are different kinds of comedies. From the start it is clear that Claudine isn't a dynamite, laugh-a-minute, anything-goes comedy like Woody Allen's films, so finally it seems like it might work as a traditional conspire against his chances to to wed James Earl Jones is garbage man Roop. He breezes through most of the movie with lines like "I'm the expert on funky." In showing Claudine his apartment, Roop says, "It's a very nice building. We get a better class of cockroaches." Jones' super cool bit is, finally, boring virtually sliding around the sets as he glides from silliness to silliness. But in the more dramatic episodes, he is much better. Jones is very good in a scene where he gets pushed around in a bar. Drunkeness is much more difficult to play naturally than it might seem at first. Also, Jones' scones with the children are quite good, usually avoiding corn in favor of charm. Some movies just seem tailor-made for television. Claudine is such a film. Everything that is too risque for the small tube has been "resolved" or at least "forgotten" by the end of the movie. Roop and Claudine are married and ready to begin their new frolicsome life together. The film even ends with that "Pips-song" and t.v. signature-like film clips of the BIG family walking hand in hand toward the camera's eye. Claudine is playing at the Amherst and Loew's Teck theaters. Claudine Plenty there to resolve with clever, slick devices of the sort that so many people enjoyed in The Sting. What actually happens is that most of Claudine and Roops' problems are never resolved, some are magically resolved without any explanation, and the rest are resolved in hopelessly pedestrian and mundane ways. Still, they try to have it both ways by ending the movie with an "up" song by Gladys Knight and those Pips, while the screen shows nutty and happy film clips so we are (eft with the feeling that everything gets worked out even though it doesn't. Director Berry might say things don't work out because that's how life is. He — was, he might explain, just trying to be realistic, true. Fine, if his "truth" is dramatically presented and . . . well, deep. But, as I've said, his "truth" is such shallow, mid-brow schlock, that it should have been sacrificed to comedy and it — wasn't. As Claudine, Diahann Carroll gives a solid portrayal; the unsuspecting victim of street-philosophy from her friends on the bus, a mother screaming at her children to quiet down, a pussy-cat in her lover's arms: to all these aspects of Claudine she brings a workmanlike consistency. It is pleasantly Plug should mention some of the films that are coming soon to Cinemette-chain theaters At the Amherst will be The Nine Lives of Fritz the Caf at the Colvin and Towne will be Thunderbolt and Lightfoot with Clint Eastwood; at the Kensington will be S.P.Y.S. and Andy WahrhoTs Frankenstein, at the North Park will be Our Time, and at the Plaza North.

Examples are all too frequent; the Beatles, Buffalo Springfield, the Who, Cream, on and on, including, the Grateful Dead. Of course, the problem is a group becomes "super" through a mixture of all its members' talents. Each one modifies and enhances the others. But in times like these, when too many are only in it for the money, a solo earns more than a COMPLIMENTS OF group. Even if Garcia realizes that a a | D he only sounds like part of a once-great whole, I don't think it r • STOREWIDE • RECORD SRLE ROCK POP POLK* BLUES JRZZ CLRS5ICRL • • • • * keeps him up at night. Compliments of Garcia is a well-made album (good production, good recording, very competent musicians). How could it not be? Besides having some of his old collaborators sitting in (like Merle Saunders), he's helped along by a major part of the increasingly familiar family of studio musicians; Michael O'Martian, Bobbye Hall, Larry Carlton, Richard Greene, Maria Muldaur and more. Also some excellent arrangers and engineers. Also some fine material: songs by Van Morrison, Dr. John, Jegger/Richards, Chuck Berry, etc. With all this, plus his own talent going for him, how could Garcia go wrong? Very easily. First, there is no distinctive sound. When using musicians to blend into the background of anything, the songs tend towards their natural habitat. "Let It Rock" sounds like a Chuck Berry song, "Russian Lullaby" like one of Irving Berlin's. Slightly altered but basically the same, all these sounds are good, but they're somebody else's. About the only thing that ties the album together is Garcia's voice —'which is not the best, although I must admit, unique. However, there is a more fundamental flaw. Garcia lacks inspiration. Jerry doesn't really seem to care anymore. Nothing new. Nothing different. (Remember when a new Dead album meant a new musical trip every time? Seems like that was so long ago.)

This ultimate in travel experience is being offered, for a limited time only, by your friendly keyboard wizard Rick Wakeman on his second solo attempt, Journey to the Centre of the Earth. Wow, what a trip. Of Yes fame, Wakeman has certainly descended appreciably from his first album, The Six Wives of Henry VIII. Demonstrating the full potential in music today, Wakeman is simply a genius with his nine keyboards. Producing a musical interpretation of the lives and characters of the women involved with England's most capricious monarch is a feat which hr performs flawlessly. His new album, however, is like having a one way ticket to Lackawanna (and you know how bad that can be). Journey," based on Jules Verne's classic, is intended to add an dimension into literature while performing the musically impossible. Such an immense project as this poses numerous production problems. However, after much deliberation, the London Symphony Orchestra and the English Chamber Choir, along with a extra number of unknown artists, were chosen to transform this vision into a reality. What a nightmare! The London Symphony Orchestra, in its usual manner (remember Tommy), completely smothers Wakeman on his own album. The ultimate musical combination of orchestra with synthesizers leaves much to be desired, even without the added excitement of the soprano vocals. Not only do the two male vocalists sound bizarre attempting to hit the high-pitched notes, but the lyrics are often unintelligible.

Friday, 14 June 1974 - BOB BERTONE - 837-3834 �Outside Locking In Sexist connotation To the Editor. by Clem Colucci 1 agree with Gary Cohn, generally, that “a climate of fear prevents people from speaking out.” But I also think that his article demonstrates that one must not be so eager to confront oppression directly, that one’s hasty tactics do further damage to oppression groups. Specifically I refer to the sexism involved in calling timid students and faculty “pussies.” He regards this as the ‘‘most appropriate yi'ay to describe the fearful, slithering creatur®~whfT is oyer-running the university.” Perhaps he feels this word is derived from the verb, “to pussy-foot,” i.e., to walk circumspectly, quietly, carefully, like a cat. If so, he has no need to warn us or the editors, “Don’t edit out that word.” In praising a teacher who speaks out, he falls into the same trap: “He has the balls to say what he believes.” What words of praise are there for women who speak out? Personally, I say “she has the ovaries to . . but a lot of people seem to think this sounds strange. Cohn’s sexist line reaches its climax when he discusses the student who feels he/she has been "screwed for a grade." Perhaps a teacher who would do that is a prick? By now we should know that language means something beyond what it says on the surface. I’m sure Mr. Cohn would be offended to hear someone who means “I worked hard” say “1 worked like a nigger.” But in choosing words that associate fearlessness, honesty, and direct action with masculine organs, and cowardice and timidity with probably unconsciously feminine ones, he perpetuates sexual stereotypes. - - John Stuart IRC: for the students To the Editor. , In regard to the letter, Student Representation in the Friday, June 7, 1974 issue of The Spectrum, 1 would like to clarify a few points. No action was threatened against the Item 1 subletters. I did, however, suggest several means of having the extinguisher returned to the University with no questions asked. All the suggestions were turned down. The reason for the requests is quite simple: a discharged fire extinguisher is no good to anyone, whereas an extinguisher put back into useful service at the Governors’ Complex (where it originally came from) could save lives and/or property, especially when viewed in context with the great number of fires which occurred at Governors' Residence Complex this past year. Item 2 Myself and the vice president for Activities Planning did NOT at any time urge Security to “bust” Cooke Hall. After hearing that IRC funds might be used to purchase marijuana, we consulted with the director oi Housing and his staff as to what course of action would be best. Working together, word was spread that such an action (buying the “grass”) would only cause a great deal of legal problems for IRC, dorm residents and the University. To the best of our collective knowledge, no IRC funds were used to buy any illegal substances and no dormitory residents were “busted” in Cooke Hall at the time of this incident. More importantly, Inter-Residence Council, at this point in time, is engaged in approximately fifteen major projects pertaining to the dormitories and dorm life. Among these projects are: meeting with Housing and Security to determine any modifications and system changes for dormitory security. This includes deciding upon a definite security program fot t(he A/mherst Campus to go into working in conjunction effect on September 1, 1 with the Health Care Division of Sub-Board I, Inc. for an improved “Emergency Medical System” on campus; a “staff” (all student) training progra/n to act as a supportive group for moving students into the dormitories opening week, especially in Amherst, so they will have a week of intensive training in the physical plant of the dorms and will be given essential information (stock answers .to a myriad of questions) so they can better keep track of critical areas (busing, security, physical dorm defects, etc ). A newsletter is tentively scheduled to be put out once per month to announce dorm events, government operations and special interest groups. We presently are redesigning our governmental and financial systems to create a more permanent bookkeeping system with tighter control over budget spending, standard policies with a policy and operations manual. I will be glad to discuss anything pertaining to dorm life at greater length with any interested party. Just stop by the office or call 831-4715. - — Leigh Weber. President Inter-Residence Council The demise of the singing telegram this past week ends a pleasant American tradition and we are surely the poorer for it. Such little niceties, though meaningless in themselves, contribute_ some small measure of civility to a world clearly in need of it. And where, in this second summer of Watergate, is civility more needed than in Washington? I take this opportunity to beg Western Union, if they will not reinstate the singing telegram, to ease the pain of our current the national crisis by instituting a new service singing subpoena. The bitter series of court fights, jurisdictional disputes, claims and counter-claims, all played against the dark background of impeachment, cries out for something that can lower the political temperature a few degrees. And the singing subpoena may be just the thing to do it. Have you ever read a subpoena? How can anyone not want to defy it? The combination of legalese and threats provokes all sorts of angry responses. By putting all such documents in the form of popular songs, perhaps we can bring some calm and cooperation to Washington. Here are some examples: Imagine the House Judiciary Committee Choir led by Peter Rodino pulling up to the back door of the White House and from the back of a U-Haul truck singing this little number to the tune of “Hey Big Spender Of course the White House would send Presidential Counsel James D. St. Clair to reply. (To the tune of “Maria") Rodino, Get out of here, Peter Rodino. You'll get no tapes of ours/ the separation of powers we 'll save. Rodino. Get out of here Peter Rodino. You've gotten all you'll get/ so why don’t you forget this game? - The minute we asked for the tapes/ we could see that you would turn down our letters, try to stonewall us. With-holding evidence Courting impeachment by contempt, now that makes no sense. So if you would just give us tapes/ you'd avoid contempt of Congress, don't you see 9 Hey Dick Nixon! Give up all those rapes to me Maestro Rodino arrangement to the replies in a swinging <une of “Marne.” You give insomnia to John Doar James You make Sirica and Gessell roar James You give Leon Jaworski an ulcer at the mention - - ofyour name, On you we just can’t make a dent, As you defend the President, Oh why don't you just go get bent James? The idea can be expanded beyond the scope of simple subpoenas. Why not turn all of Washington into a musical comedy? Try turning a dull, uninformative Ron Zeigler press conference into something with entertainment value. Give this number, to the tune of “1 Get a Kick Out of You,” to two particularly aggressive newsmen, Dan Rather of CBS and Clark Mollenhoff of the Des Moines Times Register, and watch press conferences become interesting again. You won’t be straight with the press You lied to all: Times, Post and CBS So tell us Ron, what should we do? When nothing you tell us is true. Of course the idea is absurd, but given the current climate in Washington, that is perhaps its strongest recommendation. Why not give it a try? Students or authorities To the Editor it approves. One form of distributing such monies is funds.” The budget of Cooke Hall for the second semester of academic year 1973-74 was, 1 believe, made up entirely of floor funds. Now, to give out "floor In Mr. Regenbogen's letter of June 7, 1974, two incidents of a possibly illegal nature are mentioned, along with the involvement of the President of the Inter-Residence Council (IRC) in threatening legal action. 1 believe that IRC, as a responsible student government set up to serve the students of the resident community, has a certain responsibility to the student body as a w-hole. I also believe that this responsibility precludes acting as an informer for legal authorities. To be sure, the presence of a University fire extinguisher in an off-campus room may be illegal, and the absence of the fire extinguisher from campus may have cost the University some money in replacing it. But the responsibility for threatening legal action might have been better left to the University administration. As for the Cooke Hall incident, a little background is necessary. Out of the $20 annual IRC activities fee, approximately $8.70 a year goes back to each dorm's House Council government. The House Council then uses this money for such activities that if a floor decided that it wanted to buy grass with their floor funds, I can see where IRC might feel that it was responsible and possibly liable as an accessory to the crime if anyone was apprehended while in the process of buying or possessing the grass. But I feel that acting as an informer was the wrong course of action. A more satisfactory course of action, in my opinion, would have been to extricate IRC from the situation by having the floor funds distributed to each fee payer on the floor, then having the individual students pool their funds for the purpose of purchasing marijuana. Unlike Mr. Regenbogen, I do not feel that the officers of IRC are fascists, but I do detect an attitude among them that gives more consideration to how authorities will react to their actions and behavior rather than to how students will feel about the same actions.

Imagine, if you will, one of television’s most enduring and dramatic police series. Dragnet. The scene is usually Los Angeles but today it is Buffalo. And the naitator is none other than the lugubrious Jack Webb: "Buffalo. (Pause) City of Greed. (Pause) Merchants rip-off students. Students rip-off merchants. Merchants get profits. Students get caught. The students have only one recourse. Shoplifting. That’s when I come in. 1 carry a sawed-off shotgun.” Dum de ,dum dum. Nothing, not even sawed-off shotguns, has deterred the rising incidence of shoplifting throughout our nation’s cities. Large department stores have installed television cameras (“Smile, you little leeches are being watched”), trained lookouts (they’re easy to spot they’re never bothered by sales people), or they simply lock items away. It often winds up, however, that you can take the shoplifter away from the merchandise, but you can’t take the merchandise away from the shoplifter. This action reporter, who has been covering the crime beat for years, recently talked to a young woman about her experiences as a professional shoplifter. (She will be up for parole in about six months.) She asked that her real name be withheld so we will refer to Ms. Eileen Subinsky as “Fingers.” “Fingers” did not always have to steal to support her habit of prune yogurt and lasagna. Raised in a well-to-do environment, she admitted that her childhood was indeed “luxurious.” What made her turn to a life of petty larceny is the same old story for many of society's occasional scavengers: “I needed a halter top.” From that moment on, “Fingers” was hooked. While her rip-offs are frequent, “Fingers” maintains she is still a selective shopper. “1 won’t steal anything that won’t fit in my pocket book. Or under my coat. Or in a department store bag.” “Fingers” also prefers to work alone. Her only team experience came during a steak heist with two male accomplices which ended in disaster when blood was shed. “One guy put a juicy steak in his pants and the blood dripped down his leg. It’s a good thing he wasn’t wearing shorts.” Our hero’s only run-in with the law occurred while stealing records from a big-name department store. When interrogated for her real name and address, she lied. When the store detective called her home, her sister lied for her. When the store detective found a marijuana cigarette in her wallet, she told him it was a Lucky Strike. “Fingers” got off with a warning. She also received personal congratulations from President Nixon for her performance. “He told me I was ‘a credit to the integrity of American youth’.” “Fingers” considers herself a “moralistic shoplifter. “Because some things are ridiculously priced,” she confided, “it is better to steal it than not to steal it.” (At this point of the interview, I noticed my shoes were missing.) She does not recommend the practice of shoplifting to anyone else however. “1 do my thing and you do your thing and if we find each other on the same aisle, I’ll kick you.” “Fingers” is just a good kid gone kleptomaniac. She also revealed her shoplifting techniques this reporter is not at liberty to divulge.

Since May 19, no new Requisition Encumbrance Purchase (REP) forms have been accepted by Sub-Board pending a revision of the UUAB budget, and all REP’s currently received have been held up indefinitely. Sub-Board’s policy of making monthly changes in its budgets, where surplus income generated by larger committees was used to finance some of the smaller groups, unchecked spending on advertising by the UUAB Publicity committee, and overall inefficiency on the part of UUAB’s “upper echelon” director Walt Behnke, vice-president Hatem el-Gabri, and treasurer Tyrone Saunders led to the “crunch” in Union Board, according to Mr. Phillips. — - Inaccurate projection During the first academic year, the tickets CAC’s and UUAB’s were raised to $ 1.00 Mr, Phillips hopes the revenues generated from the price increase will offset some of the film committee’s unforseen expenditures and help pay the stack of bills from some of the small committees, which “went off on spending sprees” soon after they were allowed to sign contracts with the extra funds. Dismayed at the approximately $1 1,000 worth of unpaid bills, Mr. Phillips felt the UUAB officers failed to take “appropriate steps toward keeping their enterprise solvent after money became tighter.” Union Board should have “limited or stopped publicity” as an economy measure, he maintained. While acknowledging that the publicity committee had been faced with a sizable debt for the previous summer, which could not have been anticipated when the budgets were passed, Mr. Phillips regarded the use of “fancy, silk-serpen posters” for advertising as a needless extravagance. - More subtle advertising Agreeing with Mr. Phillips, another spokesman two months of the 1973-74 TJUAB Film committee had generated approximately $4,000 more than had been felt the posters had “received too much attention,” and cited instances where posters were even ripped off walls and posted in people’s rooms. “They were just too nice,” he surmised, stressing that the more profitable film and music committees did not require advertising which “jumped out of the wall and bit” because people would tend to look for them in “smaller places.” Newly-appointed publicity chairman Mark Sick indicated that considerable money had been saved by negotiating reduced-rate contracts with The Spectrum and other publications. He attributed TJUAB’s financial hassles to the fact that “things have traditionally been loose.” Last year’s publicity committee, he explained, had received funds from whichever committees had extra dollars because it was difficult to project how financially solvent a group would be at a given time. “Ty (Saunders) wasn’t taking it out of individual lines,” Mr. Sick said. Trace bills “Tyrone really did a lousy job,” agreed Mr. Phillips, angered that he was now being barraged —Santos Michael Phillips anticipated. After projecting that the committee would continue making similar sums of money, then-Sub-Board treasurer Jenny Washburn allowed UUAB to place the $4,000 into the budget lines of some of the smaller, less highly-budgeted organizations. A few months later, however, film distributors suddenly raised their “guarantee” rate. The film committee now had to guarantee distributors a higher minimum for every movie brought to this campus. Because it had not accumulated the expected income and the smaller committees had already signed contracts with the original $4,000, the film committee was caught off-guard. Faced with rising expenditures and with no income to fall back on, Sub-Board considered raising the price of UUAB movie tickets from $.75 to $ 1.00. However, this would not have been an effective measure unless Community Action Corps (CAC) also decided to increase its rate. Initially, Student Association (SA) rejected the price increase because their records did not show CAC losing money on films. Prices raised Later in the semester, however, CAC began similar financial crunch, and all movie experiencing a with “a desk-full of bills” that had never been recorded. He must now trace through the budget “to see what it really should be after the thousands of changes.” Once the matter is resolved, Mr. Phillips and Sub-Board Business Manager Lester Goldstein plan to implement several changes in Sub-Board policy to prevent future fiscal irresponsibility. By hiring a bookkeeper with professional accounting experience to keep tabs on the larger music, film and sound committees, Mr. Phillips hopes these groups will no longer “be told they had more money than they really had.” Additionally, he said he would refuse to sign REP’s for concerts unless the music committee presented a detailed, line-by-line account of projected expenditures for each event. During the past years, he explained, all that was required was a brief explanation for each concert, and considerable sums of money may have been needlessly squandered. Cooperative Mr. Goldstein has been working on establishing a cooperative organisation composed of people from the music department, theater department, the University’s Office of Cultural Affairs, and working closely with professionals, “UUAB will know what’s going on. We’ll have less expensive and better quality programs,” Mr. Sub-Board, By Goldstein surmised. As a further money saving measure, Mr. recommended that UUAB cut back on its Free Film series and its co-sponsoring of events with academic departments and SA clubs. During the past year, UUAB committees would agree to consider events with SA groups which “did not speak for the SA treasurer,” he maintained. Consequently, contracts would be signed and UUAB would be forced to foot the entire bill. Although funds have been frozen, Mr. Phillips said UUAB will be able to fund concerts for summer orientation with $10,000 from the Music committee. In addition, SA will be sponsoring its annual free summer coffeehouses, and movies will continue as regularly scheduled. 0UPKHSK.T Druggists accused of lax, faulty practices by Renee Ryback Spectrum Staff Writer “Over-the-counter Intelligence,” the slogan of the American Pharmaceutical Association, may not be an accurate image of some APLA pharmacists. A recently-released Western New York Public Interest Research Group (WNYPIRG) study of area pharmacies revealed an abundance of “lax habits and inattention to dangerous drug combinations that might harm consumers All drugs, over-the-counter potentially improperly. including drugs, are dangerous if taken Even the simplest remedies found in your medicine cabinet pose a real threat when mixed with other drugs or taken when you have a chronic illness. The portrait painted by the APHA depicts the friendly neighborhood pharmacist as “a skilled professional able to advise and assist consumers, to warn them against harmful drugs, and to insure that their health is safeguarded WNYPIRG undertook this research, according project Luber, “tp to director Myndi evaluate the alertness and competence of pharmacists in protecting the public from harmful drug combinations - to measure the ‘over-the-counter of Buffalo Intelligence’ pharmacists.” Her team concluded that “by any,standard, the record on this test can only be interpreted as a dismal and unanimous pharmacist failure.” Harmful mixtures In preparing their study, WNYPIRG researchers obtained prescriptions from a local cardiologist for the drug Digoxin, a cardiac stimulant. They had previously determined that the use of Dristan, a popular over-the-counter cold remedy, can cause serious side effects in cardiac patients because it phenylephrine contains hydrochloride. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) explicitly all products containing this chemical to wear a warning label stating that “individuals with high blood pressure, diabetes, heart or thyroid disease, should use only as directed by requires physicians.” Armed with prescriptions and information," the WNYP1RG members visited 18 pharmacies in the Buffalo area. In each case, the researcher asked for Dristan after the prescription had been filled. “The clear implication,” stated Ms. Luber, “was that the same person would use both medications.” However, “not one of the 18 pharmacists mentioned any potential hazard for someone with a heart condition.” In fact, in one case where the WNYP1RG deliberately asked researcher whether Digoxin and ‘Dristan could be taken simultaneously, she was told not to worry. False labelling Additionally, 13 of the 18 pharmacists (70%) labelled the Digoxin incorrectly. The label is the only information readily available to the consumer —continued on page 14— �Discrepancies reported in Attica Jury On May 28, the Attica Brothers Legal Defense began a (LNS) presentation of evidence documenting “unconstitutional, illegal and discriminatory practices” in the Erie County Jury selection system. Evidence gathered by the Fair Jury Project, a research team associated with the Attica Brothers Legal Defense, indicates that blacks, women, young people and poor people are systematically excluded from juries. Gilbert King, judge of the New York State Supreme Court, is expected to hear several weeks of testimony supporting a defense motion in the Attica case to strike the Erie County jury system. including clerks in the Erie County Court system Witnesses have already given testimony supporting defense claims of - » — — discriminatory jury selection. Underrepresentation By law, the pool of names from which juries are selected should constitute a fair cross-representation of Erie County’s population. Results of the Fair Jury Projects’s eight-month research effort have indicated, however, that blacks are underrepresented by 34%, women by 68%, and persons aged 21 to 30 by 84%. Practices that have led to this situation included non-random selection of names, illegal disqualification and exemption and discriminatory mailing techniques. Cards were found in office jury selection files with the notation “negro” on them. And according to statistical analysis, it is just about impossible that the underrepresentations that exist could have occurred by chance. “The present selection process in Erie County is not random, not mechanical, not objective,” claimed Haywood Burns, former director of the National Conference of Black Lawyers and professor of law at the State University at Buffalo Law School. Speaking as legal coordinator of the Attica Brothers Legal Defense, he said: “No person in Erie County can be expected to receive a fair jury trial.” fclj n ■ r All-white grand jury The Attica Brothers Legal Defense represents 61 former Attica inmates who were indicted as a result of the prison rebellion there in September, 1971. The 43 indictments were handed down by an all-white Wyoming County Grand Jury that indicted no prison guards or state officials, despite the fact that the independent McKay Commission concluded that “there was clearly indiscriminate firing in congested areas” by the invading force. To date, the state has spent $6 million on the prosecution of the Attica Brothers, while the Brothers have been denied funds for their defense.

The Spectrum Friday, 7 June 1974 . — 2 �Delaware Ave. mansions still face rezoning, future razing by Michael O’Neill Managing Editor Despite an announcement last Monday by the International Business Machines Corp. (IBM) that it has abandoned plans to purchase three historic mansions on Delaware Avenue and construct an _cffice complex and parking lot on the site, the fate of the three landmarks is still up in the air. The agreement that IBM had with the buildings current owners The Catholic Diocese of Buffalo and Child and Family Services, Inc. called for a zoning ordinance change to be completed by April 1, 1974, that would have allowed construction to begin. The Buffalo Common Council approved this change earlier in the year, but local community groups challenged the decision in the courts and have succeeded in bottling up the transaction. The case is now back in the State Supreme Court, where it was returned by the Appellate Division for clarification of the City Council’s right to use “spot zoning” provisions for the conversion of choice residential property to a commercial site. — — “Spot Zoning Ordinance,” which allows a small stretch of land to be rezoned for “special development,” even though the property may be in a residential area. The various community residents who the Council’s decision have ' pointed out that the total acreage of the three mansions is too small to qualify for “spot rezoning.” Legal principles The city, for it’s part, has decided to continue the court case in order to resolve the legal controversy and have the matter cleared up, “We are pressing the case only to have the legal principles established,” said Anthony Manguso, the City Corporation Counsel. “We are interested in the future effect of the Council’s decision to rezone, and the legal basis of that decision, not just the specific case at hand. We don’t want to have the problem all over again if either party decides to sell the property in the future.” Pursue case Initially, it appeared that the IBM decision would put an end to the controversy and preserve the mansions, but both the present owners and the city have decided toiurther„pursue the case.

The issue here was not tax — dollars... but to preserve the city as a palatable place to live.” Tax rolls William Hoyt, the Delaware District Councilman, expressed concern over a possible departure of IBM from the city, but said he had been informed that the corporation was considering another downtown site. “I think it’s definite they’ll go ahead with something; we could sure use that building on the city tax rolls.!’. Dr. Charles Battisita, head of a community group called Save the Mansions Inc. was critical of the owners decision to go ahead with the rezoning. “They want their pound of flesh,” Dr. Battista said. “They are more concerned with the amount of money they can get for the property than the good of the city as a whole.” No trial date has been set for the hearing, but whgn it is held, , II remain uncertain until the issue of spot zoning is resolved — the burden of proof will be with the sellers. ‘They will have to prove they can spot zone in a residential area for profit,” explained Dr. Battista. Once the final zoning decision is resolved in the courts, it will be up to the present owners and IBM to determine what can be done with the buildings. If spot zoning is upheld, the sale might still be made to the huge corporation. If it is refuted, the Diocese, and the Child and Family Services will either have to retain ownership or find a new buyer, one willing to take over the site without the zoning modification. Save the Mansions Incorporated has indicated they will work to ensure the preservation of the current sites. They will maintain a booth at the Downtown Arts Festival this weekend to keep people aware of the situation and segister support for preservation of the mansions.

Mr. Szekely expects the number of observers to fluctuate because some colleges are more controversial and will draw more interest. “I don’t think we’ve put a numerical limit on it but it would be awkward with 100 that’s what the public people hearing is for.” - Two-fold review Yoran Szekely The committee will begin to accept formal applications for chartering on August 15.

To the residents of Capitol Hill, the strategy has become increasingly clear: the President is tailoring his legislative program to appeal to the conservative Representatives and Senators whose votes he needs to survive in office. Mr. Nixon’s attempt to court the conservative wing of the impeachment jury has made him reverse his positions frequently in recent months. For example, early in his first term, Mr. Nixon had halted construction on a cross-Florida barge canal to preserve the beauty of northern Florida’s Oklahawa River. As recently as six weeks ago, the White House was reassuring Florida conservationists of the President’s support. Two weeks later, however, a contingent of conservative Congressmen from north Florida visited the White House and urged Mr. Nixon to go ahead with the barge canal. The President hastily withdrew his opposition. * - Delves right into the incredible reading methods used by two Presidential staffs, 30 U.S. Senators, and over 500,000 doctors, lawyers, students . . About-face The scenario was identical with the federal land-use bill, which Mr. Nixon described as his “number one environmental priority” in his State of the Union message last January. The staff of Rep. Morris Udall (D., Ariz.) worked closely with the Interior Department in drawing up a land-use bill to accomplish the President’s objective. The Udall bill was almost identical to the Administration-backed bill, which had earlier passed the Senate. The land-use bill would merely have encouraged states (voluntarily) to coordinate the orderly development of land, in order to prevent ecological problems. But the bill was an anathema to conservatives, who feared the bill would allow the federal government to infringe on private ownership. Conservatives also worried that development would be tightened in areas of key environmental concern. So, in March, House Republican leader John Rhodes and Rep. m Steiger (R., Ariz.) privately visited President Nixon and urged him to abandon the Udall bill. Although he had supported land-use regulation for two years and although the bill embodied his own proposals Mr. Nixon yielded to the two powerful conservatives. Rep. Steiger helpfully provided a watered-down substitute bill, far weaker in its environmental provisions, which the President quickly endorsed. A White House spokesman said the President had endorsed the substitute bill “because it was a better bill,” a view not given much credence on Capital Hill.

It was a victim, fumed Rep. Udall, of “Watergate politics.” “This was clearly a case of Nixon trying to shore up his conservative support,” agreed one congressional staff member who had kept score during the backstage manuevering. Mr. Nixon has also shifted his stance on other consumer, environmental and social legislation which conservatives despise. The White House repeatedly promised more money for mass transit during the peak of the energy crisis earlier this year, but • : WIRE FRAMES • 1274 EGGERT ROAD AMHERST, N.

S subsequently “colluded” with the House Rules committee to bottle up a bill allocating $800 million to mass transit, according to Rep. Edward Koch (D., N.Y.). The reason? Mass transit is a big-city problem, and “Nixon is pandering to the rural conservatives,” Mr. Koch angrily charged. The formation of a Consumer Protection Agency, passage of a national income-maintenance plan, and the creation of a legal services corporation for the poor are all proposals made earlier by President Nixon which he has now abandoned, explained New York’s Republican Senator Jacob Javits. Mr. Nixon can simply not afford to alienate conservative Congressmen when his tenure in office depends on their impeachment votes. The reclusive President, whose personal contacts have dwindled to a few, has made a conspicuous all-out effort to court conservative Congressmen in recent weeks. When Senator John Sparkman (D., Ala.) called from Paris to complain that the government’s plane to fly a congressional contingent home from Europe was too small, the White House initially did nothing. Then, realizing that the complaining group in Paris would vote on impeachment, it hastily dispatched Vice President Gerald Ford’s plane across the Atlantic to retrieve Sparkman’s group. During a later political swing through Alabama, the President gave Mr. Sparkman and Senator James Allen (R., Ala.) a lift back to Washington aboard Air Force One and provided them with free limousines at the airport. He did the same thing for a group of Mississippi conservatives during the later trip to that state. When Senator Hiram Fong (R., Hawaii) returned to Hawaii a couple of weeks ago, the White House sent Vice President Ford to accompany him. Liberals excluded Few Congressmen had access to the White House when H. R. Haldeman and John Ehrlichman were guarding the door. Liberals are still excluded from the Presidential presence, except on ceremonial occasions such as bill-signings. Senator Walter Mondale (D., Minn.) hasn’t been inside the White House since the late President Lyndon Johnson was its tenant, and Senator George McGovern’s office couldn’t even get an official list of Cabinet members from the White House for an inquiring student. Senators Edward Kennedy, Edmund Muskie, Birch Bayh and other liberals haven’t seen the President since last year. But the doors have been thrown open to the conservatives, such as Senators Strom Thurmond (R., S.C.), Peter Domenici (R., NM.), James Eastland (D., Miss.) and Walter Huddleston (D., Ky.). Their names are on a list of 34 to 39 hard-core conservatives whose votes the President desperately needs to avoid conviction in a Senate trial. Wooing the South While many Washington observers felt Mr. Nixon was conceding a vote to impeach by the House and was concentrating his efforts on gaining the support of the 34 Senators needed for acquittal, Mr. Nixon shifted gears by taking groups of conservative Representatives on cruises down the Potomac on his Presidential yacht not once but twice in the last two weeks. Senators Wallace Bennett (R., Utah) and Russell Long (D., La.) were treated to a private breakfast with Mr. Nixon a couple of weeks ago, ostensibly to discuss his trade bill. Earlier, the President played the piano at a birthday party for Senator Bennett and Mr. Long was granted a 90-minute audience at the White House. Senator James Buckley, New York’s Republican-Conservative, had dinner at the White House ten days before he asked Nixon to resign. He hasn’t been invited back. Senator Ted Stevens (R., Alaska) explained that his requests “were put on the back burner” in the Haldeman-Ehrlichman days. But this year “things have opened up,” he said, and White House aides are “more receptive to my inquiries” and “now come back with answers.” On both the legislative and personal attention fronts, there is little doubt on Capitol Hill that President Nixon is going to the conservatives as an impeachment strategy. A spokesman for conservative Senator J. Bennett Johnson (D., La.), who met with the President last month, put it bluntly: “The White House is wooing Johnson. They would never deny him a meeting. Nixon has been doing favors for Southern Senators . . .[for] anyone who’s a swing vote on impeachment.” — Note: Howie Kurtz was Editor-in-Chief of The Spectrum during 1973-74.

All nine guns point at the beach. 5:30 a.m. There are yellow streaks in the cloud cover. Now! The guns go off and the Quincy bounces. Dawn finds us on Germany’s doormat like the morning milk bottle. I don’t know much about battles. After an hour of this there is a certain sameness. First 1 am frightened and then bored and ashamed of both emotions. We are supposed to soften up shore batteries for the landing parties. At 6 a.m. we still bang away methodically, like a thunderbolt worked by clockwork. At 6:30 the landing craft hit the beaches. The immensity of sky and land dwarfs everything so that from here you have to hear the noise and strain at the binoculars to know a battle is going on. Maybe this Is true of all battles. If you are in the middle, you can’t figure the score. A destroyer is hit, a mine explodes with a geyser higher than the National Press Building, a plane lays a smoke screen. A sound like milk cans is the shells being ejected from the 5-inch batteries. Our destroyers practically walk on the beach. A little French village with a spire nestles in the cliffs. And now runty little barges go ashore like a line of beetles. They are brave men aboard. Except for the luck of the draw 1 would be on one. 1 pick out a squarish little craft with a lace of foam in front. It is like picking out a particular ant.

A German broadcast denies any troops are ashore. They seem befuddled. We have attacked Dieppe and Dunkirk, they say. A BBC broadcast says we are winning. Cheers. Nobody here has any idea. Mostly it is a communications jargon: the sound of a battle: the parent voice crying out loudly and commandingly. Suddenly a quiet voice identifies itself. “I am pinned down,” says the quiet voice. “I am between machine gun pillbox crossfire.” Our radio leaves him. The drama is in that line of LCM’s, ugliest craft ever built, so close to us I can almost see faces. I can see the burly skipper of the nearest and notice his arms are akimbo. He looks contemptuously at the USS Quincy staring us out of countenance. I bet he comes from the North River. 1 bet he is a tugboat captain. He sweeps the battle with an uncomplimentary eye. If he spoke he would have a Jersey accent and would take no back talk from nobody, see? not from no warship, not from no Germans. We let go an eight-inch salvo over his right ear that must at least establish a feeling of mutual respect. About 11 that night, double summer-time, begins a great droning. An unending line of bombers comes out of England each towing a paratroop glider. They are in single line formation, so many that they arch the sky from horizon to horizon. After the first batch comes a second, and as it passes flying high the first begins to return, without the gliders which have crash-landed. Paratroopers in silk webs are in hedges, treetops, steeples behind the lines. It is a cavalry charge and I have seen it. I am unable to speak. I look up, my eyes are wet. It is like a religious experience. This is my country doing this. I am doing this. That sine - Hitler. I am so proud. — — — Student representation To the Editor. Many people had many negative things to say about last year’s Inter-Residence Council. But actions that were taken by its previous officers were always meant to be in the interest of dorm residents. The newly-elected members of the Executive Committee have appointed themselves representatives not of the dormitory community, but of the University Housing office and the Buffalo Police Department; Item 1 The President of the Inter-Residence Council threatened to take action against a subletter of an apartment because he found a University fire-extinguisher in the apartment (the subletter was not the one who put it there). - Item 2 The President of the Inter-Residence Council, with the cooperation of the IRC Activities chairman notified Campus Security that Cooke Hall they was using IRC funds to purchase marijuana urged Security to “bust” the dorm. It is clear that there was some illegality in both cases. But the actions taken by the IRC officers characterized them at best as mere agents for the Buffalo Police certainly not student representatives!

The Spectrum Page seven . �Aretha Franklin, Let Me In Your Life (Atlantic 9035) deceit. Aretha Franklin has presented another musical expression of her talent that justifies her titles, First The Queen . . Sister Re . . and the High Lady Priestess of Soul. In her latest endeavor, Let Me In Your Life, Ms. Franklin reflects her own definition of Soul: an expression of one's innermost feelings. The essence of her message is captured in the fourth' cut, "I'm In Love," which is presently enjoying success as a 45 single. Anyone who has ever been in love can quickly identify with the title tune. Sister Re makes the soulful plea "Let Me In Your Life" I want to share your tomorrows.... and help you bear your sorrows. Aretha's arrangement of Nick Ashford and Valerie Simpson's "Ain't Nothin' Like The Real Thing" is a personal testimony. She has experienced hard times in her love life, or as the saying goes, she has really paid her dues. Now she has found someone who is for real. As Aretha puts it, "I've got a good man in my corner now." "The whole world is a stage and the men and women are merely players," Shakespeare wrote. Singing "The Masquerade Is Over," Aretha reveals one role she has no desire to play. "Your eyes don't the thrill is gone, shine like they used to shine I'm afraid the when your lips meet mine . . RECORDS masquerade is over.... and so is love." Aretha is no longer a disillusioned lover, a victim of facades and .. . ... The multi-talented Lady Soul accompanies herself on piano and electric piano for all the selections on side two. These songs are all ballads except for the funky, catchy, rythymic tune, "Eight Days On The Road." The best offering on this side is the song Ms. composed, "If You Don't Think." She expresses musically what Muhammed Ali has expressed verbally on numerous occasions; "I am the Greatest." She sings: "If you don't think you can trust anybody's . . love in this world . . . darling . . . trust mine." Aretha is the daughter of a Baptist minister, and the inspiration for this song may have been derived in part from the scriptures. The theme heard throughout this album has been used by Sister Re in almost every song she has ever done. It is love, hope, and faith and it is used beautifully and soulfully. The Bible says: "And now abideth faith, hope, charity, these three; but the greatest of these is charity." Charity is a symbol of love, and love is a powerful emotion. In her album, Let Me In Your Life, Aretha Franklin, the Queen, has given this emotion a royal treatment. . .... Robert Mouzon ....

Friday, 7 June 1974 838-3900 - i i �Albright - Knox Music and short play by two Dada painters On Friday, May 31, a program featuring music by painter and Marcel Duchamp and a short one-act play by Kurt Schwitters was presented by the S.E.M. Ensemble (represented at this performance by Julius Eastman, Peter Kotik, and Jan Williams) at the Albright-Knox Art Gallery. The evening commenced with the performance of Anxiety Play by Kurt Schwitters, a painter associated with the Dada group following the end of World War I and noted for his work in the medium of collage. The play cons' fs of two men, with one telling the other that he is under arrest anu the other saying "No." This continues with the one person denying that the other can do any of the things he threatens (murder, etc.) until they agree that the only thing one can do to the other is "incarcerate" him at which time he happily comes along. Following this sequence are some obviously planned catcalls from the audience a device which doesn't allow members of the audience to comprehend the work as something done for them but forces them to realize they are part of an organic whole with the performers. When this is combined with a rather nebulous beginning, the whole all in a very Dada-esque question of what in fact is theater is posed conceptual artist — They’re busy at the Albright-Knox Art Gallery this summer.

UNIVERSITY PHOTO 355 Norton Hall Summer hours Wednesday 2 5 & Thursday 10-5 Passports ss.oofors Applications - This is especially problematic in light of the fact that the notes of both pieces and the order in which they appeared were determined two different ways; by assigning each note on the piano a number and pulling the numbers out of a hat, and by designing an apparatus comprised of a toy railroad and a container filled with 88 numbered marbles. These pieces are not represented by Duchamp in anything but the number sequence and were in fact realized by Petr Kotik. The question therefore arises as to whether these newly-realized works have anything to do with Duchamp outside of the original conception of randomness. - G .T. MOVING SALE! We're lazy!

Although new to the Buffalo area, these compact, pleasant theaters are part of the American Multi-Theater chain that actually pioneered the concept of a multi-movie house. They initiated the first twin cinema in 1963, the first 4-plex in '66, and the first 6-plex later that year. They've asked me to mention Where the Lillies Bloom a film I've not seen, but which has been getting a lot of publicity lately. Also, I must point out that the Boulevard Mall Cinema on Alberta and Maple is re-issuing Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid starting June 12th.

Peter Boyle played Joe I can still recall his hilarious if heavy-handed malicious speech against practically every minority group. The film was quite popular and launched Boyle on his way to fame. Now, after playing everything from a Utica, N.Y. sales representative in T.R. Baskin to a politico in The Candidate, Boyle is back as "Joe" a somewhat different "Joe" in the film Crazy Joe. "Crazy Joe" shares "Joe's" love of violence and his obsessive nature. He also physically looks and talks more like "Joe" than any other character Tve«seen Boyle play. Perhaps director Carlo Lizzani hoped to cash in on the popularity of Joe in this new film. Since Crazy Joe is about the Mafia, he also hoped that Godfather fans will flock to see it. However, Crazy Joe is finally just a nasty movie. — Editor — offer comments on current films. While the paper was resting, I've been knocking around town, trying to catch up on films I've missed, getting the jump on new movies, and generally making of for lost time.

It seems interminable because the thing that should hold it together a look into Joe's obsessive consciousness is too superficial to generate interest in the character.

Lonely and anonbmous, Harry's a man without an identity or a past that we know about. Private to the point of madness, he seldom speaks of himself. He carries his money wrapped in a rubberband no need for a wallet since he has no I.D. cards. Even his name manages to remain both suspect and innocuous: a less obtrusive John Smith. Without friends or other ties, Harry is much like the mute, clownish mime who chooses people throughout the movie and follows them about, picking up their words and mannerisms. Working as a wiretapper, a bugger, Harry Caul succeeds in reducing all of humanity to images of himself people without pasts, without direction. To him, the people he bugs are just bodies that talk and move. Their activities have no meaning for him his have none to — — — • them. That is, until the day he pieces a taped conversation together and detects a murder plot. Everything changes Harry and his victims are united on that most basic level: their morality. Written, directed, and produced by The Godfather's Francis Ford Coppola, The Conversation is a very good film. Coppola is adept at building suspense and in making his point several ways, several times. In his screenplay for The Great Gatsby, the desired suspense degenerated into hokeyness, and the repetition into boredom. But in The Conversation, Coppola is working with his own story, and the themes he explores blend well with his treatment of them. The movie has nice touches the haunting piano tune that runs through the film like a musical equivalent of Harry's musings, the varied (sometimes staggering) photography, beginning the story by randomly helping the viewer select the principle cast. Even small details like set decoration are, somehow, appropriate. It is a movie of details. Over and over,, certain dialogue snatches (like the one — beginning this critique) are re-run, spliced together, seen from different angles. Coppola says, "The film constructs itself sort of like a composition of music in that it uses repetition, repeating the exact same footage several times. The same scene hits you differently each time you look at it, but you know its the exact same footage so it can't be different. Yet you notice different things." What he'd intended works. Hackman as Harry is beatifully innocuous. He wears clear those hopelessly bland and indecisive V2 dark and glasses, his hair-line straddles the fence between bald and not, even his little moustache somehow helps to erase him. Sometimes it seems like he's going to just dissipate into the grainy background. And yet, Hackman and Coppola keep pulling Harry into the spotlight enough to let us eavesdrop to treat him like the subject of one of his on him investigations. In fact, all movies make subjects out of the people in them and voyeurs/eavesdroppers (buggers?) out of the audience. And, in this artful, probing film, you can't get that thought out of your mind. No, not any more than you can forget the haunting piano-tune or the tenor sax blasts of Harry Caul's obsessive mind. % — Paul and Michelle Boulevard 3 "Last Porno Flick," (PG) comedy; 2, Boulevard Mall Cinema 3:55, 5:45, 7:30, 9:20.

'SHE Busing inconvenience To the Editor. I would like to protest the elimination of the Jewett Parkway stop on the Elmwood-Bell bus route. The loss of this stop and the associated route change will not only seriously inconvenience those students who have located in that area in reliance on the presence of that stop, but may also jeopardize the cross-registration program between the State University and the State University College. Problems will also be created for Art and Theater students using the facilities at 1721 and 1695 Elmwood Avenue. When 1 spoke with Roger Frieday, 1 was informed that a paramount reason behind this action was that a high proportion of riders on the bus were students living in the area of the Jewett Parkway stop. This disregard for; the needs of students is inexcusable. Mr. Frieday also noted that the route of the Elmwood-Bell bus would be altered. The new route will take the bus directly up Hertel Avenue to the Bell Facility. No longer will the bus pass through the intersection of Amherst Street and Elmwood Avenue. This will present serious problems for many students cross-registered between the two schools. Previously such students were able to discharge at that corner. The bus was apparently also used by students working at the archives on work study grants and Theater and Art students using the Domus Theater facilities at 1695 Elmwood and Art Studios at 1721 Elmwood. The stop at 1695 Elmwood serviced both facilities and also allowed returning students from Buffalo State to catch the bus. It could also provide students going to the State College with a drop-off point. As a past member of the Traffic Advisory Committee at SUNYAB and thereby knowledgeable of the parking problems at both the State University and State University College, it seems incongruous that the State University would take any action which would encourage the additional use of automobiles on either campus. It seems clear that budget is not a consideration since the bus schedule has not been cut back; only the service has been altered. It is hard to believe that the University would endorse such an action apparently designed to spite the students living near the Jewett Parkway stop without regard to the da maging side-effects on the cross-registration program; the parking situation; and the Art and Theater students. I hope you will support the retention of this stop and the old route. Awaiting your response. Ian DeWaal Graduate Assistant Liberation struggles To the Editor. The Attica Brigade will hold its first national convention on June 15-17 in Iowa City, Iowa. The purpose is to bring together as many students as possible to discuss the strugg’ ;s we have waged in the past and issues to build around in the future. In 1972, the Attica Brigade was formed as a mass, anti-imperalist student group. The name Attica Brigade was chosen to commemorate the unity, militancy and determination of brothers that rebelled in Attica State Prison in September, 1971. Our unifying principles include support for national liberation struggles abroad and support for the struggles of oppressed people at home. We are also unified around the fact that the attacks both in this country and around the world come from one system U.S. monopoly capitalism or imperalism. And we understand the need to build one organization that could unite all students in struggle - white, black, Latin, Asian. We saw that it can be done. In the last two years the Attica Brigade has grown from five chapters in New York City to over sixty chapters in twenty states. We have been involved in and led struggles - — - — Brigade at inJhe Kissinger. “1 should have married Golda,” the Secretary quips, “There was a woman for you, bright, good-humored, a great cook . . “And she kisses better than Anwar Sadat,” Mrs. Kissinger added. Mr. Kissinger loses the first round of negotiations and Mrs. Kissinger, conciliatory as befits the wife of a diplomat, gives her husband a chance to save face. She moves closer, drops her voice about an octave and stage whispers: “She thought you only kissed men. I could tell her a thing or two.” The normally imperturbable Secretary blushes and says “Please, dear, not in front of the press.” Bernie starts to giggle. “Bernie” is The New York Time’s State Department reporter Bernard Gwertzmann. Secretary Kissinger sees a chance to recoup some of his lost prestige. “I only keep Gwertzmann around so I can borrow his Times,' Mr. Kissinger cracks. The other correspondents break up laughing and Mr. Gwertzmann joins in the fun. He writes a memo to himself to do a story on why Mr. Kissinger enjoys such good relations with the press. Carlyle Maw, State Department Counsel and the only official invited to the Kissingers’ surprise wedding, enters the room bringing a telephone. “It’s Dick, Henry,” he says. “Thanks, Carl, I’ll take the call here,” says Mr. Kissinger. “Hello.” Every reporter in the plane sits silently, trying to catch every word between the Secretary of State and the President. “Now, Dick, you’re being entirely too sensitive about this,” Mr. Kissinger scolds. He can do that now, being far more popular than his Watergate-weakened boss. “I know you’re upset that I gave those opera tickets to Nelson and Happy instead of you and Pat . ., How do you think I feel? . . . Nancy and I were looking forward to a pleasant night out and you had to call and send me to the Middle East again . . . Goddammit, Dick, do you think I like getting dysentery every six weeks? , . . And I’ve been so tired with these negotiations, not to mention jet lag, that I couldn’t satisfy Golda, let alone Nancy.” He covers the phone as Mr. Gwertzmann starts to laugh. A baleful glare stops him cold. “What, Dick? . . . You want me to go on television when I get off the plane . . . Right, then what? . . . Give you the credit for the cease-fire? Now wait a minute, Dick. It’s none of my business if you can’t get the American people to believe in you, but this peace is my baby. I’m the one who had to run all over and I don’t pick safe audiences. I’m the one who had to hug those Goddamn Arabs and do you think I like kissing 75-year-old women? No way, Dick. You get out of your own messes. And if you try to pull a stunt like this again. I’ll start pushing that amendment.” Mr. Kissinger refers to a proposed Constitutional amendment that would allow foreign-born persons, like Mr. Kissinger, to become eligible for the Presidency, “What’s that, Dick? . . . Right, I knew you’d see it my way . . . No, don’t worry, I won’t support the amendment not yet. Bye.” He hangs up and leans over to his wife. “When we get home, dear, clear off a space on the mantle. That second Nobel Peace Prize will look good.” - 832-4167. The Spectrum The A ttica Brigade Adversary journalism 1 take exception to Doug Turner’s comments (The Spectrum, April 29, 1974) that suburban weeklies tend to “only praise society” and ignore its destruction. While this may have been true in the past (and is still true to some extent), the weekly certainly is coming into its own as a constructive form of journalism and is moving away from the image of a “nice pennysaver with all the weddings.” Any weekly editor who ignores the problems of his or her town is commitingan injustice comparable to the daily editor’s ignorance of city and metropolitan problems. The difference is that in a small town it is much more difficult to be the adversary journalist in that the town leaders are also the town businessmen and often, the main sources of news and advertising. The small town is not a mini-city; it’s more like a large group of friends. Despite this delicate balance that the press must maintain with the leaders, some weekly’s are trying to help their communities and no longer are they merely telling “the good news.” In the past month, our ,paper has carried page one stories on both sides of rising milk costs, the jetport issue (which we also editorially opposed for Newstead-Alden), and one aspect of the drunken driving problem in our area. While these articles may seem less than significant to a city editor, they are important to the people living here. Mr. Turner might do well to examine the problems of his own locality. Perhaps if the press had been pursuing its watchdog role in the past, the city of Buffalo might be a more livable place today.

Now is the time for all of us to get together members of the Attica Brigade, independent anti-imperialist student groups, independent progressive students to build a new student movement that is more unified, more conscious, more militant. The National Convention will be an historic event, representing the strides that have been made towards this in the past years.

For further information, call the Attica The mood aboard Secretary of State Henry Kissinger’s airplane is one of subdued elation. After thirty-three days of negotiations in the Middle East and a harrowing series of problems that threatened to dash any hopes for a peace agreement, Mr. Kissinger is bringing it all back home. He got his cease-fire and he got it in the dramatic, cliff-hanging style that appeals to the American people and is sure to make Secretary Kissinger a hero, something that doesn’t often happen to a Secretary of State. Mr. Kissinger knows this. But on board, Mr. Kissinger’s hero status is a bit more dubious. The old saying that no man is a hero to his valet applies here. “Henry,” says Nancy Maginnes Kissinger, “now that the trip is over and you don’t have to eat all that Middle Eastern food, you simply must go on a diet.” The great negotiator knows by now that he has met his match in the tall, blonde 8x-Rockefeller aide he married, but riding high Middle East, the tired Secretary submits to from his victory the temptation tcTnegotiate a settlement with the formidable Mrs. Xim Santos Dave Hnath The Spectrum is served by the College Press Service, Liberation News Service, The Los Angeles Times Syndicate, Publishers-Hall Syndicate, The New Republic Feature Syndicate and The New York Post, Inc.

It was time to oil the body at the side of the sea or take the children on a trip to the mountains. Nobody much cared what had happened to Patricia Hearst and Emily and William Harris. For now, it was an old movie; it would not reenter the consciousness until more human beings died. “We think they’re still in the area,” a Los Angeles police spokesman said yesterday. “But hell, who really knows.” - * * � The police said they were answering all leads. So were the agents of the FBI. But it did not seem likely that either outfit would find the remaining members of the SLA until the members themselves chose the time and place. Everybody else seemed to have a theory; they were camped out in the mountains behind Los Angeles; they had separated and made their way back to the more familiar surroundings of San Francisco; they were moving through a series of “safe houses” in North Hollywood or Venice. But nobody really knew except perhaps some friends the fugitives still have alive. The story has moved off the front pages here, so that even last Friday’s Herald-Examiner, a Hearst newspaper, ran the following page one headline flashed across eight columns; WOMEN CAN COMPETE IN ALL UCLA SPORTS It was as if someone in the Hearst organization were trying to prove the SLA case to Patricia Hearst. Other news stories added some detail to the last hours of the six dead members of the SLA: the almost bizarre actions of Donald DeFreeze as he sent out for malt liquor for the neighbors, and chatted idly on the porch in Compton while five heavily armed white people moved around the ghetto house inside, apparently feeling no one would notice. All of this while the police were donning flak jackets to act on an informer’s tip. All of this only minutes before the slaughter. And then there were the photographs found in the ashes: the entire known membership of the SLA grouped around DeFreeze, like a poster for Super Fly, with the seven-headed cobra symbol hanging behind them. It was as if even the members of the SLA could not believe their extravagant fantasy unless they had photographs of themselves playing the parts. In some strange way, they resembled Page twelve . To the Editor. Gordon Liddy, who insisted on having his picture taken outside the office of Daniel Ellsberg’s psychiatrist after the burglary. They wore the same vacant grins, and, of course, Liddy and the SLA people shared something else: they were true believers. Liddy is willing to spend the rest of his life in jail for his cause; the SLA people were willing to die for theirs. In his excellent study “The Urban Guerrilla,” Martht Oppenheimer discusses one of the central ironies of groups like the SLA: “Violence, for one thing, is a symptom of bitterness and frustration when it takes political form. For certain alienated groups in this and other societies, violence is seen as the only remaining device; the only device that is not co-optable, in a situation where all other measures have failed. It is for this reason that Fanon sees violence as cleansing and that DeBray distrusts even radical political parties all else results in betrayal. Only violence lead to what is, in a way, a ‘final solution.’ can “The same situation applies to many younger ‘better to die on your feet than live urban blacks knees.’ on your But this is a solution which by definition precludes a plan for the future, much less a democratic one. Once one has accepted a solution by suicide, one has already stopped discussing the ‘means-end’ problem.” Part of the tragedy of the SLA is that with six dead and the others underground, it is still not clear just what sort of society they want, what sort of America they thought they were fighting for, what possible end justified the kamikaze means. They made some familiar sounds about justice, and the end of racism, but that didn’t make them much different from Hubert Humphrey. Perhaps they had gone far beyond all that, had given up even conceiving that anything lay on the other side of a martyr’s death. It was, in the end, a form of revolutionary narcissism. — - � � � For now, the story of Patricia Hearst and the SLA still remains only a movie in production. In a morbid Hollywood parlor game people are conjuring possible endings: Miss Hearst appearing in the “O” of the Hollywood sign, fighting off the massed armies of the LAPD. A “High Sierra” ending, high on a mountaintop. The “White Heat” ending, with Miss Hearst shouting, “Top of the world, Ma!” But, of course^this isn’t a movie. The dead are really dead, and the end will be permanent and real. But even the movie endings do not propose that any of the participants will live happily ever after. The Spectrum . Friday, 7 June 1974 While the Undergraduate Library (UGL) has become the most popular spot on campus, and “Borism” is cited as the prevailing attitude among University students, the condemnation of campus passivity in the last issue cannot go without opposition. In asking ourselves why the activist student of the sixties behaves as if he had undergone frontal lobotomy by the mid-seventies, we cannot accept the notion of CIA control (sorry Mssrs. Skinner and Milgram, but the current author believes in at least an infintesimal amount of individual control). At least one explanation for this student docility might be the satiation, or saturation, hypothesis. Joe College 1974, we must remember, had smoked dope, dropped acid, and been laid several times by his eighteenth birthday. He had experimented with alternate states of consciousness, homosexuality, and hitchhiked around the world three times the summer before entering college. He had been exposed to ruthless massacres, violence, and governmental corruption through this era. And by golly, with such an active childhood he was downright bored when beer blasts were the only left to do. So there were only three things in the world that Joe hadn’t experienced, and after some encouragement from Mom and Dad back home, he figured he’d go on to achieve money, success, and power. “Be a doctor,” they told him. “Our son, the doctor.” And why not? What thing else could he do with his time? Straying from this cynical tone, however, not every student has way.” (Fill in the blank.) It is abandoned “truth, justice, and the possible that the masses are vying for medical and law school because of the status and money, but there do exist students (and I admit my references are from conversations overheard in the UGL; that is, those conversations selectively paid attention to out of the barrage of talk over “which school accepted you this week?”) who are seeking the medical profession so they may be instrumental in reforming the medical system. Lawyers and doctors are of the most highly respected professionals, and therefore the most potent in implementing change. These prospective professionals are products of the sixties “consciousness raising” epidemic, and it seems hopeful they may carry through these ideals for socialized medicine and economic reform. Was it not the “lesson of the sixties” that the individual (the masses, more likely) cannot effect justice as a taxpayer and voter against specific wrongdoings? Admittedly impotent against Watergate, students are not hiding behind sarcasm, nihilism, and indulgence in apathy; rather, they are undergoing a refinement to become effective future leaders. They are not dealing with symptoms now because they are more concerned with overhauling the structure to avoid future imbalances. So you lose a few along the way when the professional schools “weed out” those with innovative records, and you lose a few when those achieving power develop obsessions with their glory and cast aside their virtuous objectives. But goddamn, out of the 15,000 at this school alone we can afford to lose somfe. Overeducation! Society’s severest pathology, and most wasted use of resources, promoting four years (plus summers these days) of mental incubation for lazy individuals, rejecting their worldly (i.e., all that is not academia) .... * responsibilities.

Viet prisons Two community clinics to test persons 18 and over for diabetes and 15 and over for hypertension have been scheduled by the Erie County Health Department and the Diabetes Detection Service of Erie County. The clinic schedule is as follows: South Buffalo Mercy Tuesday, June 11 Hospital, 56S Abbott Road, 12 noon to 6 p.m. West Side Community Sunday, June 23 Health Fair, Peace Bridge Exhibition Center, Porter A venue, 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. - by Paul Krehbiel Contributing Editor — The U.S. Section of the International Committee to Free South Vietnamese Political Prisoners from Detention, Torture Mandatory fee is subject to review Death, is building a and nation-wide letter-writing campaign to win the freedom of some 200,000 political prisoners still being held by the South Vietnamese government. With heated debate expected soon in Congress concerning the funding of the Thieu government in South Vietnam, the International Committee is asking people to their Senators and urge Representatives to cut all aid to the Thieu regime. According to the North American Research on the M i lit ary-Industrial-Complex (NARM1C), the U.S. government is paying 80% of the cost of billion to fund Thieu’s military efforts for the 1975 fiscal year, an increase of nearly half a billion dollars over 1974. When the New York State Legislature adjourned at 7 a m., May 16, it closed the door for the remainder of the year on several controversial attempts to restrict or abolish the mandatory student activity fee. The mandatory fee is a student-assessed tax used to fund student activities which fall within State University Board of Trustees guiflelines as decreed in March, 1971. Because the current law mandates that each State University of New York (SUNY) campus hold a student referendum every four years, students at this university will determine during the coming year whether activity programs are to be supported by mandatory or voluntary fees. Those schools voting for mandatory fees collect them at registration and can enforce payment by withholding transcripts. PIRC prohibitions Part of this year’s controversy involved a number of controversial projects funded by fees. The New York Public Interest Research Group (NYPIRG) began work on a series of legislative profiles of State legislators. Since a number of local PIRGs are funded by the mandatory fee, questions were raised about the legality of funding activities like the legislative profile and PIRGs in general. According to Board of Trustees guidelines, projects “with a religious or political purpose” are explicitly excluded from funding Money available The International Committee claims $10 million in Defense funds is available for Thieu’s prison and police system. (Article 4 of the Paris Peace Agreement states: “The United States will not continue its military involvement or intervene in the internal affairs of South Vietnam.”) Reports of wide-spread torture and death of South Vietnamese prisoners are becoming more widely publicized. Tran Linh, a Saigonese judge and former political prisoner, was quoted in the Cleveland Plain Dealer of June 23, 1973: “I have seen with my own eyes persons fastened to benches, into whose mouth and nose interrogators poured sewage water, soapy water and even latrine water until their stomachs swelled to the bursting point,” David and Jane Barton, physio-therapists who worked in Quang Ngai prison hospital, were quoted in the British film, “A Question of Torture,” produced by Granada Films; “The torture we see the results of most is the torture that results from people having been given electricity. They (the police) usually attach electrical wires to people’s toes, fingers or sensitive parts of their body. People say they go unconscious when they’re given the shock, and when they recover this will be consciousness, cAURUM HANDCRAFTED AND ANTIQUE JEWCUTT Q53BA*VDOO *B*JE / 883-6786 TUE.-SAI / *30-300/ / repeated three or four times, and then the person will be allowed to for a certain period of time . . . and then it will be rest repeated one or two more times . . .

Three of the dead are Nguyen ngoc Anh, a 31 year old unskilled worker; Tran van Bau, a 16 year old fisherman; and Ho van Ngoc, a 42 year old farmer.

THE through the mandatory fee. The legislative profile project, some argued, was political, and as such should not be funded by the mandatory fee. Some state legislators were hostile to the profiles, which could used against them during elections. One bill was introduced during the past session that would have prohibited the use of mandatory student fees for PIRGs, but it made little headway. conceivably be Press crucified In the wake of the controversy over the now-famous cartoon of a nun masturbating with a crucifix that appeared in the City University of New York (CUNY) Observation Post, State Senator John Marchi (R., Westchester) introduced a bill that would prohibit funding of student publications through the mandatory fee. This bill, meeting with strong opposition from local and student press, got bogged down in attempted compromises and finally died in the rush of more important matters at the end of the legislative session. Several bills were introduced to end the mandatory fee altogether. One of the more feasible and detailed proposals would have lowered the fee ceiling from $70 to $50. The bill would also have allowed any student with strong political, ethical, or religious objections to refuse payment of the fee. The most unusual provision of this bill set a minimum turnout figure for the fee referendum. Unless at least 40% of the eligible students vote in the referendum, a voluntary fee would go into effect regardless of the result. Currently, no law in New X.ork State mandates that a certain percentage of voters must turn out in an election or referendum. Safe for now Ray Glass, legislative director for the Student Association of the State University (SASU), concluded that until January “we’re safe as far as the State Legislature is concerned from interference with mandatory fees.” The statewide Student Assembly’s Executive Committee has recommended to SUNY Chancellor Ernest Boyer that the fee ceiling be raised to $100 from the present $70 maximum. The Chancellor has reportedly kept a “low profile” and chosen not to antagonize anyone by suggesting the fee be raised after the legislative furor. Howevef, Mr. Glass characterized the chances as “better than even” that the fee would be raised, though not in time to affect the coming year’s budgeting. BUSTED DOWN THE WALLS...

Activist attacks inequality and calls for greater involvement The need for all segments of society to unite in an effort to make government more responsive was explored by Barbara Williams, Executive Director of the Washington DC.-based Coalition For Human Needs and Budget Priorities, at a luncheon in the Ellicott neighborhood facility last Friday. Ms. Williams discussed the role of human interest groups in the I970’s and the possible demise of the Office of Economic Opportunity (OEO). No group in this country can work alone and win, she repeatedly stressed. Programs for social improvement like health care and the unequal distribution of wealth affect everyone, not just Chicanos and Blacks, said Ms. Williams. “Richard Nixon appeals to the white middle-class by making allusions that their tax burden supports Black welfare loafers instead of noting that the majority of people on welfare are white,” she claimed. Again, referring to the country’s unequal distribution of wealth, Ms. Williams said: “No one even talks about ‘getting the rich off welfare’.” V —continued from page 1— f regarding a drug’s ingredients and use. More importantly, the label tells the physician which product was taken by the patient.” (Incorrect labelling of a drug item Discussing the future of the OEO.Ms. Williams claimed the constitutes a misdemeanor under State Education Law 3303-A.) organization was never geared to fight poverty but only to “get WNYPIRG off riot streets.” She admitted, however, that the OEO had at least enabled people to “realize they were citizens.” The OEO has been extended for three years by the House of Representatives, but this legislation still must pass in the Common interests “If people do not unite,” she Senate and Executive branch. If stated, “a psychology of the OEO goes out of business, a powerlessness gripping people will local community action system remain.

She with the Washington bureaucracy cited examples of the belated during the 60’s to break through the complexities of local government, she maintained. 3 The Coalition for Human Needs and Budget Priorities is a national organization representing ninety organizations. The Coalition provides voting record data and information on the issue positions individual members of Congress have taken. It also conducts a. full-time lobbying people that discovered only two of the 18 pharmacies bothered to maintain patient profiles. These are records of an individual’s past and current prescriptions, medical history and drug allergies, and are any maintained in order “to enable the pharmacist to alert the patient to possible harmful drug combinations.” Digoxin is one of the few drugs in which certain generic brands are inferior to others. The brand Lanaxin is preferred by most cardiologists nationally “because of its high potency and ability to be absorbed by the body.” Six of the 18 pharmacies substituted other generic brands instead of filling the prescription with Lanoxin. Due to the pharmacists’ failure to label the drugs, the identity of these products remain unknown to both physicians and patients. Caveat Emptor Finally, it was reported that “a side study of pricing patterns showed a more than 500% price variation between the lowest and highest priced pharmacy.” “The conclusion of this study,” Ms. Luber said, “is that consumers are not being protected by the present laws.” Several subsequent recommendations for 1 action were put forth by the WNYPIRG team: “The Food and — Drug Administration require prominent label ■ warnings in advertising materials and on packaging of over-the-counter drugs to alert consumers of potential hazards. “The FDA require manufacturers to provide information to insure that generic products be truly equivalent to brand name products. “The Professional Standard Review Organization be expanded to include pharmacists and other health care professionals as well as - physicians. , “The New York State Board of Pharmacy use the powers it already has to protect the public and to guarantee high pharmacist standards. — YjOdTns umer education programs be expanded to include education relative to the selection of responsible pharmacists.” Benefit dinner The Public Affairs Committee of the Unitarian-Universalist Church and the American-Vietnamese Friendship Committee, are sponsoring a Vietnamese dinner this Friday, June 6, at 6 p.m. at the Unitarian Church at 695 Elmwood Avenue (at Ferry).

In other words, if it costs $4 to eat out on the road, and the price of the same meal at home is $2, the outlay would only be $2.

This allows for SA officials to treat each other to meals under the guise of‘supplies’.” To prevent this kind of misrepresentation, the coalition report recommends changing the Financial Guidelines to prohibit of any money for the than what it is other purposes slated for. Because it is difficult to obtain information on the expenditure of mandatory fees, the coalition members plan to introduce a constitutional amendment that would make REP forms public to any student. The four coalition members feel that misuse of funds can be stopped by having independent students sign the REP forms. Three signatures are presently required: one student government representative, an administrative approval (usually Howard Devell, assistant vice-president for Student Affairs), and the organizational president (such as the SA president). use through a careful delineation of checks and balances can the students realize their basic rights.” “People are prone to abuses,” conceded Mr. Sokolow. “It’s the system that is open to abuse; you can’t really blame anything on the individuals involved. We aren’t out to ‘get’ anybody,” he added. The immediate reason given for the release of die coalition’s report was to “raise the consciousness” of students and “to get them interested so that, hopefully, changes can be effected.” Mr. Mones continued: “The point of this document is for students to make their own inferences. We qan learn from these abuses, just as we can learn from Watergate. Maybe this is a micro-Watergate.” “Considering the budget crisis,” said Ms. Thome, “the practices we found are highly unethical. Hopefully,” she continued, “if students see how their money is really spent, they will be able to sharpen their opinions on the budget and will know how to vote better in the future.” The Anal goal they hope to achieve is a student government that has a system of checks and balances. “The Student-Wide Judiciary (SWJ) is not utilized enough.

A REP form must be filled out any time a group uses mandatory fee money. Mr. Sokolow said: “Only a small percentage of REP forms on file were examined,” after the coalition received permission from SA Treasurer Sal Napoli. The coalition has recommended the establishment of a more viable mechanism for discovering students’ fiscal priorities. A form may be inserted in next semester’s registration packets asking students to describe their budgetary priorities, Mr. Sokolow explained. Ultimately, a reordering of spending priorities will be asked of the Student Assembly. Coalition research has agency that handled the travel plans. One of the faculty members stopped in El Paso and Dallas, Texas on his way back from San Francisco. Although he was expected to pay back part of the extra air fare, the REP form states that he incurred a $415 expense, which is considerable above the fare he would have incurred had he come directly back to Buffalo.

However, the coalition discovered that NYPIRG members did not recall meeting them at that time.

The new form would read: “We, Sub-Board I, Inc., reserve the right to seek reimbursement from you for any funds given in this advance if, in our opinion, any item purchased was not within the stated purposes of the advance.” The form will have to be signed by the officer requesting funds.

N.V. 11501 �Costs vs, benefits: the ethics of experimentation Editor’s Note: In 1963, Yale psychologist Stanley Milgram conducted a startling series of obedience experiments demonstrating that man will carry out orders to a horrifying degree. In this second article of a two-part series, the complex ethical questions surrounding the Milgram study which pit the benefits to mankind against the rights of the individual are explored and the very nature of psychological experimentation is examined. - by Gary Cohn Campus Editor As a subject in the Milgram obedience experiment, Morris Bravcrman followed an experimenter’s explicit order to administer increasingly severe shocks to a “learner” despite the "learner’s bone-chilling screams. At one point, Mr. Braverman asked the experimenter if he had to follow his instructions literally, and upon receiving an affirmative answer he eventually pushed the shock generator past the “extremely painful” level. Throughout the session, Mr. Braverman, a social worker, was not able to control his laughter. When he got home that night, his wife told him: “You can call yourself Eichmann.” Mr. Braverman’s case pinpoints the complex ethical question involved in many pschological experiments; an issue pitting the rights of the subject versus the potential benefits to mankind. - . A grueling experience There is no question that the participants in the Milgram experiment were subjected to a grueling experience, at least temporarily. As Stanley Milgram has stated: “For the teacher {the subject], the situation quickly becomes one of gripping tension. It is not a game for him; conflict is intense and obvious. The manifest suffering of the learner [who is actually an experimental confederate] presses him to quit; but each time he hesitates to administer a shock, the experimenter orders him to continue.” After the experiment was over and the subject was told the true purpose of the experiment, the subject who has obeyed the experimenter’s orders is faced with the realization that he is capable of inflicting suffering upon another person simply because he has been told to do so. “You have to look at these things in terms of costs and benefits,” asserted Jack Loftis, professor of Psychology at the State University of Buffalo. The costs involve the people who had to go through a painful a powerfully painful experience experience when they, just went in for an experiment, Dr. Loftis maintained. He added: “Somehow, that’s just not fair.” - Resilience To assess the benefits, Dr., Loftis continued, “we must look to what we learned. In the Milgram and Zimbardo experiments, maybe 20 people got very , upset - but people are resilient and bounce back.” “How about all the , ■ people who constantly have to go through these experiences [in real life] and now no longer have to go through them?” asked Dr. Loftis rhetorically. He then answered: “The benefit is more happiness for more people.” In the Zimbardo prison study, Stanford University psychologist Philip Zimbardo set up a simulated prison in which half the subjects were assigned the role of “guard” and the other half the role of “prisoner.” The subjects were volunteers who had answered a newspaper ad to make $20 per day as a participant in an experiment. The experiment was scheduled to run for two weeks. The simulated prison had such a tremendous impact that Dr. Zimbardo was forced to call off the study after only six - handcuffs and keys, and then being told that they must maintain law and order in the jail and enforce 16 arbitrary rules. The impact on the subjects was so severe that the vast majority said they would have given up all their earned pay ($20 per day) if they were just allowed to leave the “prison,” which was actually located in the basement of a building on the Stanford University campus. In both the Zimbardo and Milgram experiments, the subjects underwent an extensive de-briefing in which they were informed of the true purpose of the experiment and given an opportunity to work out their personal feelings with the experimenter. Milgram: added precautions Additionally, Dr. Milgram told The Spectrum that some of the subjects were given psychiatric interviews as an added added the experiment served as a “powerful learning experience” for the subjects. “In retrospect,” he continued, “It’s easy these experiments [Milgram and Zimbardo], because they greatly increase oyr knowledge. But the problem comes in setting up the guidelines: Who is going to decide whether the experiment is worth the potential heartache and pain to the subject?” to justify One possible answer is to have ethics committees review the experimental designs of controversial experiments before they are put into practice. John Lick, Psychology professor at the State University of Buffalo who has served on the University’s “ethics committee,” said that when looking at an experiment, “it must be determined if it is possible to do physical or psychological harm to the subject.” He continued: “Generally, the experiment is vetoed if it [the experiment] is potentially harmful. Of course, there is room for disagreement about what the experiment has a capacity for -.” Dr. Lick added that the ethics committee does not encounter many difficult situations. Both Dr. Lick and State University of Buffalo psychologist Barbara Bunker agreed there is a conservative trend in experimentation that is, there is a tendency to veto an experiment if there is any doubt about whether it could harm subjects, even though it may be the only way to obtain needed knowledge. - days because “in less than a week, the prison situation can transform mature, emotionally stable and physically healthy, law-abiding, middle-class college students into either the traditional prison guard or inmate role.” precaution. And a year after the experiment, follow-up questionnaires were sent to the subjects, in his questionnaire, subject Morris Braverman wrote: “What appalled me was that I could possess this capacity for obedience and compliance to a central idea even after it became clear that continued adherence to this value was at the expense of another value, i.e., don’t hurt someone who is helpless and not hurting you .. .” He added: “1 hope I deal more effectively with any future conflicts of value 1 encounter” (,Harper’s Magazine, December, 1973). Dr. Loftis echoed this theme, observing that the de-briefing undercut the detrimental effects on the subject. He ... Prisoners vs. guards The prisoners were unexpectedly picked up by a police car at their homes; searched, fingerprinted and booked; crowded into a six-by-nine foot cell with two other prisoners; required to ask the quards for permission to go to the bathroom; and subjected to numerous other de-humanizing experiences. The guards were also thrust into their role by being given clubs, whistles, Fire “Experiments have increasingly come under fire from the outside, and so there is a tendency to keep one’s own house in order so that other people don’t,” explained Dr. Lick. He added: “People are very careful before giving the ethical stamp of approval.” Much of the criticism that has been leveled at psychological studies, according to Dr. Lick, has arisen because of the considerable confusion between medical and psychological experimentation. Maintaining that “the problem is more acute in medical research than in psychological research,” Dr. Lick said there is very little evidence that psychological experiments produce “significant lasting harm for individuals, while medical research has produced lasting harm, even though it may have contributed to some kind of understanding.” The confusion is especially acute in Congress, which fails to sufficiently differentiate psychological from medical research. Dr. Lick commented. Shock! ‘The ethics committees are a sham,” charged Dr. Loftis. He believes the committees will often focus on certain key things as dangerous especially shock while the really dangerous procedures slip — — —continued on page 27 — H FOUNDATION’S CELEBRATION $ OF END OF YEAR.

Page tthree �Rapid transit between campuses due in 1981 A rapid transit system, proposed by the Niagara Frontier Transportation Authority (NFTA) to connect the Main and Amherst Campuses, is being investigated by CAC and WNYPIRG. The subway line would run from Amherst to downtown Buffalo, with stations at the Main Campus and other key locations. The projected completion date has been set at 1981, and NFTA hopes to charge a price comparable to bus fares. The University administration plans to discontinue free bus service between the Amherst and Main Campuses when the transit system is completed. CAC and WNYPIRG feel this would put a heavy financial burden on students with classes at both campuses. A final report by the Jointly-sponsored Rapid Transit Task Force resulted from a student-oriented questionnaire on the subject. Money concerns The survey indicated that students care more about the price than the service, and “prices comparable to bus fares” are definitely too high for the average student’s budget. Also, because of the future movement of most University facilities to Amhcst, commuting between the two campuses is expected to increase rapidly in the next seven years. ' Health Science students, with classes on both campuses, will be hardest hit. Much of this commuting can be avoided by special scheduling, but the lack of available jiousing and other facilities at Amherst will still • create a drastic transportation problem for the average student. • The alternative is a student fare subsidy. President Robert Ketter has implied that it is up to the students to bring about this sort of change in policy. The NFTA’s Kenneth Knight wrote to CAC that the subsidy money would have to come from the University. The Task Force’s primary goal in the next few weeks will be to arrange a bargaining session for the administration and NFTA. If the subsidy is approved, students can look forward to cheap, reliable mass transit between campuses. A self-defense Karate demonstration into these problems is because they are walking alone at 2 a.m. Even though the courts wiped out the need for corroborating evidence, a woman being out alone at night is automatically believed to have asked for it,” -one offer said. “The question is not whether you’ve been taped, get given by four women highlighted a conference on rape, Thursday, sponsored by the Women’s Studies College. One woman started karate lessons, after being attacked, to defend herself by making her body strong. Another woman said that because she knew karate, she wasn’t raped when attacked. Without karate, she felt she wouldn’t have had a chance of protecting herself. “It made all the but whether you can prove it,” she noted. The officer advised any woman who has been raped not to shower, because some degree of evidence is required. “Unfortunately, even though progress was made in wiping out corroborating evidence, the attitudes and possibly the system must change,” she said, adding: “The police try to prove the woman is guilty before accepting that she has really been difference,” she asserted. Dealing with rape During another segment of the conference, two Campus Security women answered questions on how to deal with rape. “The reason women raped.” More than just art: College B moving to Ellicott by Russell Sc hoe nwetter Spectrum Staff Writer After much intense planning. College B is moving to the EUicott Complex. This move has been long awaited and, hopefully, will finally provide the College with the space it needs to carry out its ideas. College B is also merging with the Communications College and will co-reside with College H, the health studies college. Although may of the courses they offer center around the arts, College B members hasten to point out that they are more than “just an Arts College.” The College’s basic goal is to make the dormitory “more than a place to eat and sleep.” Most of their classes are held in the Governor’s dorm. In this informal setting, members attempt to break down the barriers between faculty and students, so that ideally, all will be teachers and students. Learning is a 24-hour-a-day experience, they feel, and it should not end once you leave the classroom. “Art is basic in everything,” said Bonnie Spanner, a member of College B, “and we utilize the artistic experience to make education a more personalized and human endeavor. We seek to develop each individual's creativity and to expand people’s thinking; to get art into their lives." Very few members of College B are art majors. The majority are science and humanities majors who want a more well-rounded education.

The Western New York region is the key to establishing an effective state-wide P1RG. Professionals needed The type of projects WNYP1RG undertakes require professional skills. Witness the sex discrimination study of employment agencies in Buffalo: Esther Benjamin admitted the project was impotent because the participants did not have legal counsel. With a full-time lawyer coordinating the numerous projects like this one, the group’s effectiveness would be increased, with possible litigation, or its threat hopefully resulting in the elimination of many illegal practices.

The minimum acceptable amount would be $20,000. When Ralph Nader came to this campus in 1971 to initiate the idea of Public Interest Research Groups, 14,000 affidavits were signed by students at this University approving the concept of PIRG. Consumerism was then at its peak, and students were excited about the prospoects of having a group of “Nader’s Raiders” on campus. In the last referendum held on this campus, students voted by a threc-to-one margin to support WNYP1RG by a reordering of priorities. Mr. Nader will return to his campus tomorrow to support the work of a group of students who unearthed ghastly information about area pharmacists. By announcing the results of the study, Mr. Nader will be lending added credence to the already-important study. — — Surely, the Student Association wishes to make a favorable impression in the community. Numerous benefits Every project that WNYPIRG embarks upon has a direct effect upon students. Fortunately, they affect community citizens as well, generally in a positive manner. Commentary Thus, WNYPIRG will prove itself as a viable entity in the eyes of Western New York, although not in the eyes of the SA officers. Unkept promises The budget submitted by the SA Finance Committee contains no evidence of reordered priorities. Athletics still takes up over one-third of the total allocation. A true reordering of priorities would require athletics to take a less prominent place in the budget. Student Association executive committee members were elected with that mandate. Michael Phillips, a member of the Finance Committee, said in his platform as candidate for Treasurer that he would give “full $25,000 funding to WNYPIRG,” yet voted against a full appropriation for WNYPIRG. Mr. Phillips’ case demonstrates the repeated violations of student trust by Student Association politicians. There are those who control the purse strings who contend that WNYPIRG’s money would be used “off-campus.” Indeed it will. A large percentage of the money spent by undergraduate organizations eventually finds its way off campus. My position on this newspaper was once called “Off-Campus Editor,” and simply by the nature of the position, the material I use goes off campus, Yet, not one word of complaints has been lodged against the City Editor’s position. The same holds for Ethos, CAC, WNYPIRG’s bicycle lock survey will be of particular value to students, because it will determine which locks on the market are least prone to vandalism. Tht sex discrimination study affects seniors in particular (See The Spectrum May 3], the Legislative Profile study affects the entire state, and other states as well. Prescription drug price surveys, supermarket surveys, recycling projects, tree planting, and telephone surveys benefit huge numbers of students and people in general. Spending $25,000 on projects that solely apply to non-University students is not desirable. Perhaps the Student Assembly should consider mandating that WNYPIRG undertake a certain number of student-oriented projects, so that student money won’t be “wasted.” An investigation into hiring practices at this University might be called for, as well as admission policies, financial aid policies, degree requirements, the Faculty-Student Association, as well as the Trustees of the University and the Administration. These investigations would be in the students’ interest but they should not be done to the exclusion of the other projects with broader appeal, In the future, State University of Buffalo students would not be the only college in Western New York financing the consumer group. If WNYPIRG proves successful with full funding, additional schools will join in the financing, reducing our financial load and increasing Gov Dance and Cafe , - Unfortunately, it seems that WNYPIRG is losing its helped it maintain its objectivity, he becoming so enmeshed in the interest group Coalition. Abuses certainly exist within the Student Association, but it is not the Coalition’s responsibility (as long as WNYPIRG is a member) to expose it. Perhaps WNYPIRG can do that as a separate project next year, and thus utilize some of its student funds on campus. Demands may be placed on it in the future by other coalition members to work for other, separate goals. After the SA money has been allocated, WNYPIRG should never again form such a coalition to receive funding. (Besides, after next year there hopefully won’t be a lump sum allocation from SA; it would receive its funding through voluntary payment on a student’s bill.) To do so might be suicide. WNYPIRG already is a vital force on this campus. Unless it is funded at an adequate level, its present leaders will not remain with the organization. Frankly, 1 don’t blame them. This school was the first to form a P1RG, and has promised increased increased funding for WNYPIRG every year but has yet to do so at a level that will allow the group to be really effective. WNYPIRG is challenging the Student Association to give it the money necessary to implement a radical concept in education, in social reform, and in political reform on this campus. To respond properly to that challenge, SA must actually reorder their priorities. They might consider, through the office of the National Affairs Coordinator, a lobbying effort to have the State pay for athletics, which is supposedly an integral part of our education. A coordinated effort through every state college and university would succeed (as did the effort to kill the anti-student newspaper bill) in maintaining sports at an acceptable level, as well as freeing one-quarter of a million dollars of our student fees for other projects. Can the new SA officers meet this multi-faceted challenge? Or will they, like those in the past, be afraid to “Give PIRG a chance?” autonomy, which — LSAT REVIEW CLASSES JULY 20-21 IN BUFFALO Provisional preparation for the LAW SCHOOL ADMISSION TEST; intensive review given in N.Y. and other cities by LAW BOARD REVIEW CENTER attorneys who are LSAT specialists; the course offers: (Extensive Friday-May lO at 8.00 p.m. Fillmore Room, Norton Union Vitality necessary materials designed to dup/icate LSAT questions; Analysis of LSAT's nature structure scoring, loading to improvod approach to the exam and highor scores; an I | I Proven molhods for quickly analyzingLSAT typos of problems | .

The activities will begin at 11:30. The demonstration is designed to bring to the public's attention the plight of some 10,000 political prisoners detained by the military regime of Gen. Pinochet, and the countless thousands that have already died, either during last September’s coup or in the crackdown on socialist reformers that has been going on ever since. The day’s activities are designed to make local citizens aware that the American government together with various large industries have been pouring money and materiel into the military regime, while turning a deaf ear to pleas from international social agencies and several western European nations, that have spoken out against the cruel treatment and autocratic rule that has been imposed by the military. The event is sponsored by a collection of local organizing groups: The committee for Chilean Democracy, Attica Brigade, Women’s Studies College, Youth against War and Fascism, the Western New York Peace Center, Vietnam Vets.WSO, Anti-Monopoly Committee, and the Young Workers Liberation League. Similar rallies will be held in Chicago, New York, Washington and San Francisco. Monday, 6 May 1974 The Spectrum .

Nuclear power plant vehemently protested g I « T I IJ a „ . , X I Q\/ • « wilt take a vacation starting May 1 7th and will reopen for the summer in June by Ph3 Samuels Spectrum Staff Writer Nuclear power will be coming to Western New York by the early 1980’s. The New York State Electric and Gas Corporation (NYSE&G) recently announced its plans to build two nuclear power plants on the shore ofLake Ontario in the Town of Somerset in Niagara County. The plants will generate 1.2 million kilowatts of electricity and will cost 1 over $ 1 billion. Although the energy crisis continues, many of the inhabitants in Somerset and neighboring towns are fighting to prevent the building of these nuclear plants Lee Simonson, a Niagara County Legislator (14th district) is vehemently protesting the- nuclear plant. Mr. Simonson describes the various disadvantages of nuclear power in his report. Second Thoughts on Nuclear Power Generation in Niagara County. Such disadvantages include the disposal of radioactive wastes; water pollution and radiation emissions from the plants. . .01 millirem of radiation How much radiation is actually emitted from a nuclear plant? “The contribution of radiation from operating nuclear power plants is actually about .01 millirem per year,” according to a report published by the San Diego Section of the American Nuclear Society. To give you an idea of what that figure means, a luminous dial wrist watch gives off 200 times that amount of radiation. What about the wastes? Plutonium-239, a waste product of a nuclear power plant, is possibly the most poisonous element ever handled by man. Donald Gessaman, an authority on the plutonium hazard, estimated that there will be one human lung cancer for every 10,000 particles of plutonium inhaled. To put that figure in perspective, one pound of plutonium-239 represents the potential tor some nine billion human lung cancer doses. Any plutonium that escapes will be present in the air for over 20,000 years. The pros and cons of nuclear power are evident. Electricity is produced more efficiently in nuclear power plants. Nuclear plants produce more electricity than coal or gas plants of equal size. But in return for the increased power, certain ecological sacrifices will have to be made. Those decisions will affect our generation, the next generation, and generations to come. NYSE&G is determined to demonstrate its “commitment to building a clean, safe, attractive facility incorporating the besfcadvances of modern technology.” “The odds against a serious atomic power-plant accident will be 10,000 to 1,” wrote Ralph E. Lapp in The New York Times. To the people of Somerset, those odds aren't good enough. KOSHER CO-OP Coming Next Year . Red Jacket sec. of Ellicott Sign up with housing for entry in Red. Jacket.

And more importantly, because students are at least as guilty of being pussies. Don’t edit out that word because it is the most appropriate way to describe the fearful, slithering creature who is overrunning the University. faculty members really in danger of losing their jobs if they say what they think? 1 doubt it. While I wrote last week that it wasin the best interests of the University that Dr. Ketter not be reappointed to a second five-year term because of his vacuous academic leadership, the idea of him purging dozens of dissident facultymembers is utterly ridiculous. But if he wants to see this campus become alive with faculty and students using again their talents to make this into a progressive Dr. Ketter would be wise to University get out of his Hayes Hall retreat and dispel the fearful atmosphere hanging over this University. Fear Why does this fear exist? Is it because students are so worried about their grades that they won’t contradict a faculty Dissent The faculty should start informing their students that dissent will not bring about lower grades. Everyone is so afraid of not Shout, don't whisper Climate offear prevents people from speaking out by Gary Cohn Campus Editor Jim Morrison died at the age of 27. But for 27 years, Morrison lived an exciting, creative, risk-taking, action-oriented life as the wild man of The Doors. Morrison would have been awkwardly out of place at this University, because he was willing to stand up, take risks and fight. In contrast, students, faculty and administrators at this University live in a constant state of fear. Everything they say is guarded, everything they do has already been carefully calculated as to the potential benefits and punishments. Take, for instance, the news story and commentary The Spectrum did about President Robert Ketter’s evaluation last week. We’d call up faculty members and Dr. Ketter’s Administration colleagues and ask them to assess the job the University President has been doing for the past four years. Silence. - - If you think you’ve been screwed for a grade, go. down to the instructor’s office. Demand to see your test paper and make him carefully explain why he gave you the grade he did.

Write to into barge the department chairman and tell him so that when the instructor comes up for tenure, your opinion will have an impact.

But do something besides compalin to your friends or write anonymous graffiti on the sidewalks. Hayes Hall is only a short walk from Lockwood Library. Next time you’re dissatisfied with something, march down to Dr. Ketter’s office and tell him. Don’t let his secretaries or assistants stop you. he’ll Demand to see the President probably see you and hopefully he’ll become more aware of what’s really happening here. We’ve paid too high a price for stability. In the endeavor to prevent a repeat of the student demonstrations of the 1960’s, the University has swung into a period of nihilism, devoid of creativity, excitement and risk-taking. - — — Self-censorship Why is everybody so god-damned afraid to say what they believe? Oh, a few of the people interviewed did make statements, but they were afraid to have their names attributed to their comments. As history professor William Allen correctly pointed out: “Self-censorship is censorship in the worst way.” Similarly, while many faculty and some administrators believe that Bernard Gelbaum should be replaced as vice-president for Academic Affairs, few people are willing to tell this directly to Dr. Ketter or stand up in the Faculty-Senatb and speak their mind. I don’t want to make this into a condemnation of the faculty. First, because there are some daring faculty people at this University willing to make a manner; Shout member when he is wrong. And has the tight job market made the faculty so fearful that they are afraid to fight for innovation or against (he things that are blatantly wrong at this school. Why was William Allen the only faculty member willing to put himself on the line and criticize Dr. Ketter? Is it because of his superstar status as one of the nation's top scholars, or because he has the balls to say what he believes? Are less prominent getting an A or not getting into medical school that they passively comply with everything a teacher says, whether it is right or wrong. Then they regurgitate what they think the faculty member wants in their papers- or exams. Incredibly, it doesn't even matter whether the students believe what they are writing. If you disagree with what a professor says in class, stand up and tell him. And don't whisper or talk in a half-apologelical State of semi-coma People who work around here could last a hundred years the way they are going. Never rock the boat, please everybody, and do nothing. Let them live to 150 who cares? It’s far better to die at 27 as Morrison did than to live in a constant state of semi-coma, fearful of opening your mouth.

An Advocacy Committee of the United Cerebral Palsy Association (UCPA) was recently formed in Buffalo and their goal is to change building codes so that buildings and their facilities will be available to everyone including those in wheelchairs. The Advocacy Committee is composed of and works for people confined to wheelchairs. It is almost impossible for these individuals to enter most buildings as they now exist and virtually impossible for them to use the public facilities that most people take for granted. There are many instances where, if the handicapped individual is able to get into a building, he or she cannot use a pay telephone since the phones are usually too high, or located in a booth which will not accommodate a wheelchair. Most drinking fountains also pose problems for the handicapped because they are constructed for the average standing adult. — “Building Barriers Week" was one of the first actions taken by the Advocacy Committee to make people aware of the general lack of consideration toward the handicapped. Another action taken by the committee was to send letters to fifteen Common Council members discussing “Building Barriers Week” and making them aware of such problems. A short while ago there was a change in the building codes. This change mandated that all proposed building and all buildings undergoing extensive remodeling must make adequate provisions for the handicapped. The Advocacy Committee feels this is a strong step, but they are concerned with the many buildings that are now standing. Most business transactions the disabled make in these buildings must be parried on by proxy. The Advocacy Committee of the UCPA has no funds and, though they are just getting organized, they forsee no need for this money. Those working for the Committee are involved and committed. They meet once every two weeks and anyone interested is invited to contact Robin Bach through Community Action Corps, Room 220 Norton Hall.

About 15 Interest Group (WNYPIRG) is undergraduate students from this University and others in the area have completed approximately 20 profiles on New York State Assemblymen and Senators. In a statement prepared for the press, Marc Jacobson, project coordinator, said: “The profiles are a step toward responsive, responsible government.” Each profile contains the results of interviews with opposition candidates, community leaders, and a two-hour interview with the legislator himself. The format was adapted from a similar project undertaken by the Connecticut Citizens Action Group, and was applied to all 210 New York State Legislators. “All the information in the profiles are a matter of public record,” Mr. Jacobson said. “All we did was compile THORS.

Some interviews have yet to be completed, and “It is likely the profiles of these legislators will be published without the interview, noting that the profiler waited weeks for a positive response from the legislator,” Mr. Jacobson said.

This year it tried to revert to the five-course load, abolish experimental courses and turn the Colleges into glorified departments under administrative control.

It was by Bob Mayer SASU Press Service The history of ALBANY student activity fees, - mandatory although a realtively short one, is a long complex background of politics, legal maneuvers, and legislative interference. The first official policy on the collection of student fees was established by the State University Board of Trustees in November, 1967. These guidelines gave SUNY’s official sanction for the collection of voluntary fees. Until the November decision was outlined, most students believed that the fees were fees were mandatory. The collected the the campus Faculty-Student Association and appeared on student bills each semester. Each school’s FSA’s deposited these funds in their own filled with • believed that these fees would be used exclusively for student governments and extra-curricular student activities on the individual campuses. An audit by the State Controller issued in 1966 suggested that this was not occurring. The report noted that at various state schools, local campus were using student monies as auxiliary funds in the operation of the campus administration. The State University of Buffalo FSA purchased 500 acres of Amherst land in 1964 with these student fees, and, in one instance, student fees had been used by a campus to fund his own president inauguration. The audit charged that several Deans of Students knew that prior to 1968, there presidents was a voluntary, not mandatory policy on student fees - yet they failed to inform anyone. Fee challenged After the Controller’s 1966 report was released, a group of University at Albany State questioned the students legitimacy of their student fees being used to support religious organizations on campus. When the campus president requested a legal opinion, students were surprised to learn from the counsel that “these student fees are not mandated by the Board of Trustees, and the state could not force students to pay these fees.” The following semester a voluntary collection was established ibany, but the other campuses, still lacking any guidelines prohibiting student fees, continued to collect as before. As more students began to realize that there was no existing laws witbin University governance mandating collection of fees. State University officials started to explore the policy. On May 9, 1968, the Trustees established the existing guidelines governing the collection and distribution process that is currently being observed on all state campuses. The guidelines called for the individual to conduct a campuses referendum every four years to determine whether collection of fees would be voluntary or mandatory. It limited use of funds to four broad categories: recreational, social, cultural and educational. For the first time, all responsibility, for fees would be in the hands of students. The only stipulation was that SUNY Chancellor would establish a ceiling on how high activity fees could go. A figure of $70 per was set, (1 he Student Assembly Executive Committee recently urged Chancellor Ernest Boyer to academic year statewide raise the ceiling to $100.) Fees funding radical activities? But political activism soon came to SUNY campuses, and taxpayers and legislators alike began to raise questions about funding. Where was money coming from that produced radical literature, organized demonstrations and provided transportation to and from anti-war rallies? In early May 1969, President Nixon ordered American troops to invade Cambodia. Virtually in the state experienced serious disruptions. Many SUNY campuses recessed classes early. The public asked more questions. Whe was paying every campus —continued on page 26— �Electronic system is proposed for Ellicott by Victor Gulofta Spectrum Staff Writer As part of a new electronic security system proposed by Campus Security, television cameras may soon be used to deter vandalism in the Amherst Campus parking lots. “The lots are completely obstructed from the view of the roadways,” explained Lee Griffin, assistant director of Campus Security. “The architects have designed mounds around the lots with the landscape, trees and shrubs, and this makes visability from the roadways into the parking area impossible,” he said. The increased possibility of thefts and assaults necessitates the utilization of the low-level TV equipment, Mr. 6riffln explained. The closed-curcuit system will be just sensitive enough to detect and televise any suspicious movements in the parking lot during the evening hours. Tipped off by television. Campus Security would then be able to take immediate action if a threatening situation arose. The installation of electronic identification card detectors for the dorm entrances is also being considered for next year. Astronomical costs “With a total of 84 entrance doors at EUicott," Mr. Griffin c&h'fTniied,' ‘It would require 84 Security aides on duty for 12 or 16 hours a night at $2.50 per hour to maintain a decent security. The cost is astronomical.” Mr. Griffin explained that under the electronic card-key system, a dorm resident would simply display his dorm identification card at the entrance, the machine would then identify it and allow the student to enter. Without a card, no unauthorized person would be able to enter the building. The long-term expense of operating this system is believed to be considerably cheaper than hiring and paying Security aides. There is much concern whether students will be receptive to this “machine replaces man” approach to curtailing campus crime and unauthorized entrances. Some fear the use of such modern electronic gadgetry at the Amherst Campus could generate the long-feared 1984-ish atmosphere. expected, Mr. Griffin replied: “We hope not... if we implement some kind of security system in the dormitory, we’re certainly going to need the cooperation of the occupants of that dormitory.” Charles Brunskill, a technical assistance coordinator who advocates the TV surveillance systems,, remarked: “We don’t want to restrict in any way, shape I or form anybody’s mobility think that students will support anything that will offer them the mobility that they deserve, and I think they’ll strongly reject anything that’s going to infringe on their rights.” \ ... • You’re serious about photography So is the Canon F-t To you. photography is more than a hobby.

Out across the barren Amherst wastelands, past the rocks and mud and construction equipment, looms Ellicott the great and ugly. That the Joseph P. Ellicott Complex makes a mildly interesting multi-level fun house. I’ll concede. Why anyone believes there’s something magically creative about this modern architectural monster, why anyone thinks that living there will be anything besides a large, noisy, disorganized riot, is thankfully, beyond me. - Brick-on-brick Geometric design and plenty of brick are architecturally chic. Still, I’m not impressed. It’s very futuristic and Star Trekky, but I don’t believe it can improve the quality of dormitory life. It will bring you together, the saying goes, through common experience, i.e., suffering. By this logic, they ought to have built us a shanty town on the shores of Ellicott Creek, which would have improved the quality of our suffering immeasurably. Speaking of suffering, most Amherst residents regard the buses as the absolute worst part of their experience. Everyday, the “bluebird of happiness” shits on your head by means of substandard brakes, contradicting schedules, and thickheaded drivers. There are tons of annoyances, big and small, like rushing out to find the 3:35 has left four minutes ahead of schedule or simply waiting, waiting, waiting for one of those phantom coaches that leave you standing out in the cold. Comic relief The one and only bus service saint was driver Lloyd Simpson, Amherst’s popular humorist, philosopher, pervert, and devil-may-care driving fool. He was suspended by Bluebird in March, and has quietly faded from memory. Have 1 been overly critical? Are these complaints growing tiresome? Let me qualify it all by saying I’m probably glad I’ve lived at Amherst this year. There were several undeniably positive experiences. It was different. Governor’s did from time to time have a spirit of its own, even if it was based on our mutual frustrations. It’s difficult to describe dormitory life. What single event might characterize a complete experimental milieu? Maybe it’s my suitemate pulling off his fetid sweatsocks, chugging down a Budweiser, and discoursing on dialectical Marxism. No, that’s ridiculous. I shouldn’t have even tried.

I owe it to someone, at least myself, to contribute something more inspiring to the Tmal issue of the semester than a lousy photograph. And if no one else bothers to read this egocentric column, it will mean something to me personally because I’m feeling a little tipsy and writing is always fun when the writer is under the influence of a rum and coke. (It’s no secret that I can’t hold my alcohol anyway.) One year ago today, I was sitting in the corner, as Campus Editor-designee, feverishly cranking out a boring story about I-don’t-evcn-remember-what at 11 a.m. It was like a heated race with the clock: which would run out first, the day or me? Who knew that starting in September, I would be spending more time in Norton Union than in my room, the shower, classes, and bed collectively? Home of the hacks Norton Union. Home of the political hacks, hustlers, hot tickets, hippies, hitters, and hotheads. One renowned Norton Hall fanatic, who shall remain anonymous for posterity’s sake (everybody always dumps the burden on posterity), once referred to Norton as “chaos-oriented.” This same superstar blamed the campus newspapers for perpetuating the chaos by delivering the papers outside the building. Sometimes I think Norton should be sealed off to the outside world to let all the paranoid personalities enjoy their “elite” pseudo-community in peace and turmoil. 1 must have lost 20 pounds running up and down the stairs.

But they would rather wait for the elevator, which takes about 20 monotonous seconds between floors. Just another way to waste time. Journalistsand politicians Those 20 pounds (refer to the first sentence of the preceding paragraph) were offset by the 20 pounds gained from eating the wide assortment of disgusting Norton food. The coffee in the third floor machine isn’t too vile, though; however, you are better off buying the pastries fresh in the Rat than from the machines. Plastic wrap gives it that fossilized flavor. The Tiffin Room on Friday afternoon between 4:30 and 5:30 p.m. is good for at least one table of political hacks. Believe me, I should know. You can’t beat the fried dams. It’s fun calling those connected with the Student Association “political hacks,” especially since newspaper people are hacks in their own right. This is not a public confession, mind you. 1 wouldn’t admit to being a hack in a million years, although I’ve admitted to being a jock, a the same bullshit all over again, even slob, a marriage-hater, and a bitch.

It’s not eating be pretty dull without more to fill up the Avenue Subs two nights out of three or personally conferring with “prominent members of the University community” or getting a Buffalo press card. In fact, I often wonder whether being Campus Editor has a ‘best part’ when you realize that hardly anyone even reads the articles you put countless hours into, and whatever yod write, you are always accused of being biased. That’s human nature, 1 guess. You can never satisfy anyone. And as long as you remember that, you can sit back and enjoy whatever you are doing. Frankly, I really like to type.

You would be surprised at the reward and laughter one can get at reading one’s own typographical errors in print.

But for all the people who claipi they can’t write, or the men of science who scorn us English majors, sit down some time when no one is looking and play around with the words.

Apparently, the newest episode in the Watergate Affair is going to be the release of twelve thousand pages of transcripts of tapes reviewed by the President himself as to what is relevant to the How or a It’s all over, it’s time to call it a day semester, or whatever you wish to. Fin. One more year done gone. Which would no doubt be more real if there were not two days of classes and some weeks of exams left at the time you are reading this. Which leaves me in the unfortunate position of trying to wax philosophic about something which won’t be real until two weeks after you read about it. Which is a somewhat ridiculous problem. How do I get you to respond to the pathos of the situation when you are worried about mundane things like reality? Anxiety is hard enough to get people to look at in the first place, without you should be able to drag not-so-red herrings across the path. In some cases it may be more of a cantankerous whale than a herring. I myself have a statistics exam that in many ways is important enough so that it is/would be easier for me to deal with the feelings around that, than it is to try to clean up a semester in not so very much space. Seems as though I Ta always come down to this ■ time of year with a sense of surprise and bewilderment. Where did it all go? How Mftllll I get to be a year older ■J| that fast? Are you sure if someone did not send in misprinted calendars? When by Steese I st0p trying to hide from it though, the reality usually turns out to be that the semester is actually over, that once again I have not accomplished all the things that 1 set out to do in a certain period of time. This is a reasonably consistent pattern with me. The ability to schedule accomplishment with precision is something which 1 fail to demonstrate with remarkable consistency. Has there ever been a semester in which expectations outran accomplishment? In my own case, it seems very doubtful that the reverse has ever happened, at least I do not recall being astounded at the end of a semester by how much I had accomplished in that time. How consistent a problem it is for the rest of humanity is something you might wish to judge but clearly, if you and I agree, we have a trend in the data. It would probably be a bore to get everything done on schedule all the time anyway. So my projections about the end of semesters and years involve feeling bad. On the one hand you have the hassles talked about last week people going away and all that schmalz, and on the other there is the work problem i.e., the weight of all the things left to do plus all the things that have yet to be done which won’t get done can amount to a considerable drag when you suddenly find it on your shoulders. It is, at least in theory, possible to view the present situation with gladness and perhaps even joy. If you are running a perfect average (high, not conduct and innocence are in question, play such a trick on us as to have us truthfully believe that he may personally edit tapes upon which his own integrity depends. He has some nerve believing that he may prejudge evidence which is to be submitted for his own evaluation.

How is the student body to change its conceptions and actions in regards to shoplifting and stealing on its own campuses, when members of the faculty do not condemn these actions. This shoplifting encompasses not only the school’s property but also other students’ private belongings. Can not a professor leave out his students’ papers for them to pick up without having them stolen by other students. One of the best papers, in my opinion, that I have written was stolen by another student. As if this was not bad enough, when I inquired as to what could be done to regain my paper (it is the only copy of this paper) I was told: along “Oh, all the best papers are always stolen” with a statement of: “What do you want us to do about it, put a reward out for it?” Sir, the actions of the student body cannot be expected to change until such time as the faculty changes its attitudes of disregard. I, for one, would like my paper back. - - low!), have been excused from all your final exams and are bound out to Europe, or Big Sur, or some such fine place, the day after classes end, you are probably delighted with the world and your place in it. Of which I am eternally jealous. Bah! I suppose that there should indeed be something happy about the beginning of the summer, as opposed to-the end of the semester. That there are ahead longish open stretches of time in which to play in large green meadows, climb about on rocks, swim a lot, and other such entertainments. But there does seem to be a block against getting into such good feelings when there is the reality of the end of the semester garbage to go through. Because there is the truism of academic crap to be shoveled into one bin or another, and the necessity, on the part of at least some of us to say goodbye to people who have been, or could have been, important to us. It must be nice to function, as the current white house proprietor does, in a world of deletions. To be able to deal with'your life in that way must be really wonderful experience. “Gee, remember the summer of 19 unintelligible, when you got [expletive] unintelligible by unintelligible, in the unintelligible?” “Only vaguely.” Funny how it looks like repression, if it were psychological, and just plain weird if it were any other court case in the land. Where else could you imagine the defendant in a case trying to submit his typescript version of what all the other witnesses in the case had to say, and being hurt if people were suspicious, even though some of the witnesses said that what he wrote down wasn’t what they said. It boggles the mind. Step this way ladies and gentlemen, see the Washington side show. Can you image the fund of trivia questions that this whole mess should generate in another 20 or 30 years? Who were the first people indicted in the Watergate investigation? Trivia question, hell. 1 can’t even remember the answer now. Which brings us one more digression closer to the end of another semester. Where were we before we digressed off into intellipbility? (again!) Oh, yes, on the well avoided topic of people getting away and things ending and why is it easier for some of us to notice things ending than things beginning. Change is, after all, change; and any situation involving it would probably reasonably be seen to have a variety of interpretations. So how come one of the few places I approach consistency involves being really suspicious of endings? Couldn’t be that you are just a natural-created pessimist, could it, Eric? So it seems as if there is relatively little left to dawdle over. Hope you survive both the academic and interpersonal finishing-ups which need be done, and go on to have a good vacation and/or summer. Take care, live well. - - The Spectrum F.

Two areas to which in the past we have looked for educational the leadership in some important measure President/Higher Administration and students now seem to me demonstrably unviable, and make Faculty responsibility all the heavier. 1 confess that during the past 25 years in the profession I have, like others, expected that major initiatives, major changes in direction within a university could come from getting the right man at the top. I shared something of the notion that a university in the doldrums could be launched under full sail by selecting the finest scholar-administrator on the horizon. That delusion, as far as 1 am concerned, has been laid to rest. I am almost prepared to challenge anyone to cite any such performance by a university President in the past 15 to 20 years. Most presidents have~been corporate or establishment types; like bank facades, they have been chosen to give a sense of tradition and security to otherwise dubious enterprises within; most of them and I would be the last to denigrate their have intelligence, good will, or hard work lashed to the rhythms of budget and to educating successive waves of regents, chancellors, community potentates, and legislators; most of them have been highly qualified, if only occasionally successful fund-raisers or morale boosters. Most of them, quite frankly, have had very little to do with the university’s interior intellectual decor. Why Faculty here seems to place so much hope in selecting or reelecting a President is a little beyond me; the process can’t be ignored, certainly; but Presidents don’t come with panaceas; they come mostly with limits something that is worth noting, in fairness to them. The corollary to the notion that while Faculty know what better education requires, budgetary stringencies (surrogate for the shortcomings of the President-) preclude it. Sometimes, this is true; more often it is a lazy, Great faculties and faculty members through the past have functioned far better than we with far fewer resources of almost every kind. Thus, in terms of fresh educational visions emanating from an educational Messiah, let alone a man on a white horse, there isn’t — - - - - Train fares To the Editor. 'Recently, a nearly top secret investigator (posing as a student) sharing the concerns of the newly formed W N.Y.P.I.R.G.-C A.C. rapid transit task force came into the possession of what may very well be (though might not be) a Facilities Planning high priority secret sensitive memo. While the validity of the information contained on this so-called memo is indeed controversial, it is nonetheless very suggestive. For instance, it projects that as many as 7,000 students per day will be riding the new rapid transit system (presently in the design stages) between the Main St. campus and the new Amherst campus in order to get to and fro classes. Some might ask “why would students pay for rapid transit when they can ride the free inter-campus buses?” The answer to that one is that once the rapid transit is built the University plans to discontinue its free bus service between campuses. For 7,000 students this may mean a 90 cent per day increase in their costs of living: the wonders of progress! Sinner K. Bombo Asst. Transportation Consultant WNYPIRG-CAC R.T.

Russell Schoenwetter, President The Committee to Get Buckley Ext. 2600, North Campus Page eighteen The Spectrum Monday, 6 May 1974 . . - Draft advice To the Editor. The Military and Draft Counseling Center is continuing in operation and needs continued support for its work. As always, the Center provides counseling, charging no fee to all individuals who desire it who are facing a military obligation. The Center offers them information on what all their alternatives are, and the consequences of choosing any of those alternatives. And once the individual has made his or her choices, the Center provides competent step-by-step aid in carrying out that choice. Neither the draft, nor the military, has ceased to exist. And men and women continue to find themselves in difficult situations as a result. Selective Service is not inducting anyone, but it continues to require all 18-year olds and older to regist; future draft call. In a letter dated April 27, the Assistant Attorney General of the U.S. Justice Department has instructed all U.S. attorneys around the country to seek indictments against all young men who fail to register on time with the draft board following their 18th birthday unless they can show a “compelling reason” for registering late. Many 18-year olds do not know of this policy a policy which upon conviction will make them and many 18-year olds do not convicted felons even know that the draft system is something they must register for under the law. Like so many of us, they believe “the draft is over.” Clearly, the government feels differently. The Selective Service System recently was given 55 million dollars for fiscal 1974. And the Justice Department intends to see that the Selective Service is not ignored by the_ young. Men bom in 1954 who have been assigned lottery numbers 1 through 95 are currently being - - reclassified into class 1-A. Whether or not the inductions start again, and many experts believe that shortages of men in the military will force a resumption of inductions in 1974, the draft is a continuing problem for young men which they much hope. At best, university presidents can maintain elements of continuity and stability which contribute to the matrix in which educational advances may take shape. It strikes me as a lost cause to look to student bodies generally for great educational initiatives cither. However delightful students may be as individuals, however fine their youth and natural intelligence, they are what they empty wells subject to the always have been vagaries of the culture at large; subject to fluctuations, carrying many from rhetorical adolescent radicalisms (an assault, of course, on and Momma) through intellectual Poppa indifference to any pursuit requiring time and disciplined effort. Even when highly motivated, as many are, they are after all here to learn, not really to solve general educational problems, which in the first instance they are paying us to be active and knowledgeable about. Educationally, whatever future there may be budgets to the contrary, is up to Faculty contrary, students to the to the presidents contrary. The validity of this proposition is manifested on this campus by the English Department, whose outstanding members identify the University and signalize its real and potential quality in ways no President of the moment or regime of the week may. Of other distinguished scholars or departments on campus, the same holds true. Thus, upgrading educational-intellectual life is a matter nowadays of “unit integrity.” If Departments (units) cooperatively put their own houses in order, reorganize personnel, shift the best teachers to the critical courses, provide the environment for the best scholars’ research and writing, isolate and delimit the activities of their marginal people, make the best, and only the best, professional recruitments, encourage experimental courses that are taught maturely and are not aimed at capturing elusive FTE’s or titillating the masses, something can be done. None of these efforts make sense unless paralleled by an upgrading of the rigor, maturity, and performance standards required of students and on this score, areas of this campus have a very long way to go. Upgrading is not a matter of whether msturcutors grade by letter, by number, be reading entrails, or any other technique. Rather it is a matter of requiring performance from students, all extenuating circumstances aside. Requirement of performance, finally, demands that each Faculty member be fully aware of what/ie or she is all about as a scholar-teacher: And. thereby hangs our tale. - * - - - cannot adequately deal with in the adequate information. The Counseling Center has begun program of military counseling for men who are in the active duty service, the absence of in earnest a and women reserves and National Guard, and ROTC. Without a draft, the military has begun an enormous advertising and recruitment campaign to “attract” enlistments. It is a recruitment program which is often misleading about the realities of military service, and has also been shown to rely heavily on very questionable especially promises by recruiters which practices are not fully accurate. The results have been for many to join and only later have the truth forcefully brought home to them. Like the draft, the military often causes serious problems for people. Many men and women in the military develop medical and psychiatric problems; others find that dependents at home are suffering extreme hardships in their absence. Yet others find that the reality of military service, and the mission of the military, runs counter to their conscience. But as with the draft, the military provides little information about how to resolve these conflicts. While legal channels exist, most are ignorant of them. Instead, they resort to solutions of their own imagination which are often in violation of military regulations and statutes. The results can be and often are very harmful. Thus, the Center has reorganized itself to be known as the Military and Draft Counseling Center of Buffalo, offering help to those facing the draft system and the military system.

This simple statement of fact and aspiration has a ring of novelty in this University. The Colleges have for so long operated in an atmosphere of uncertainty that it will take some time for them to adjust to stability as a prospect. Of course, because the chartering process will not begin until the fall, the futures of individual Colleges are still in doubt. But the fact of a future for the system as a whole, and for most of the Colleges, is now quite clear. The Chartering Committee of the University is now in operation: a situation which was in some doubt even a month ago. After a brief period of running in, it is likely that this vehicle for delivering newly-chartered Colleges will‘move forward quickly. At the first meeting last week, there was some sparring among the representatives of the various constituencies, but by the end of that meeting all the members had agreed to work together. The Colleges, the Faculty-Senate and Hayes Hall had all responded in good faith to the challenge which the Prospectus has put to them. A good omen for the future. The past couple of months have also been marked by evidence that there has been a significant change in faculty attitude toward the Colleges: most of the Colleges are now attracting numbers of regular SUNY faculty who are going to be teaching through the Colleges or participating in decision-making within particular Colleges. The pattern of faculty participation in specific Colleges will vary: from an advisory board with occasional teaching in College Z, to co-teaching in most courses in College F (Tolstoy), to 100% faculty teaching in Vico College. But the vigor of faculty participation is very real. This enthusiastic response from regular University faculty has come from all parts of the University. At least one department deserves special mention: in the past few weeks, Leslie Fiedler and the English Department have, as a group, decided to commit themselves to assist the Colleges. This commitment manifests itself in the participation of faculty members through cross-listing and co-teaching, through personal association with particular Colleges, and, most importantly, through department counsel to students to enjoy the educational opportunities offered by the Colleges. This faculty commitment is being received enthusiastically by most of the Colleges, although a few of them still view faculty with a cold eye indeed. With some luck, by the end of the next term, both regular faculty and Colleges faculty and students will have come to share the insight reported to me by one of the most active leaders in the Colleges: “When I first started talking to faculty about coming into the College to prepare for chartering,” he said, “I was quite skeptical; but now I am convinced that this exercise has been one of the best our College has ever tried. We shall certainly be a better College because of it.” Although this assessment may not yet be widely shared. 1 am convinced that by the birthdate of the new Collegiate System in January 1975, all of the Colleges will agree. The genius of the new Prospectus is that it has provided the occasion for the Faculty to stop viewing the Colleges from outs'de and come in. This new participation by the regular faculty will have a meaningful impact on the political processes of this University; indeed, it already has. In the past the regular faculty members have viewed the slinging matches between the Colleges and the Administration as a spectator sport. Now, with the commitment of larger numbers of regular faculty to teach in the Colleges, the faculty will see its interests at stake in the Colleges and will support the Colleges’ needs in competition for resources and moral support. Already the Faculty-Senate and individual faculty members have been actively lobbying for greater financial support for the Colleges. Of course the financial position of the Colleges is still precarious. We have received some additional funds, though not yet enough to call the financial future of the Colleges secure. But it is important for all Of us to remember that in a system of small gross budget increases for the University and perhaps in the not too distant Irving Spitzherg future a steady-state budget, increases for the Colleges must come out of other people’s pockets on this campus. The University must give up some existing activities in order to support the Colleges. This decision cannot be made by Hayes Hall alone, but must reflect a decision on the part of the larger University community that the Colleges are an education venture deserving of support. There is every indication that the University community may be willing to make this decision. In order for this decision to have a meaningful impact in the foreseeable future, it will have to manifest itself in time to influence the 1975-76 budget. To justify a larger commitment of resources from the University, the Colleges will have to deal with a major problem:- at present they serve only a very small percentage of the undergraduate student body. These numbers must increase dramatically. If the Colleges cannot appeal to a larger percentage of the student body, then we cannot justify a larger commitment of resources. 1 fully expect to sec a large and diverse student population enroll in College courses in the fall. And the residential Colleges should attract large numbers of residential students. Six Colleges will become residential. By the time the doors open in Ellicott in September, these six Colleges will have substantial residential programs to offer students living and learning in the new facilities. At present, there are a number of problems with the allocation of space to the Colleges, but, with same goodwill, these can be worked out. A physical plant designed for Colleges should have enough space allocated to the Collegiate system so that the Colleges can conduct a high quality residential program. Most of what 1 have said so far deals with the present and the immediate future. So I should comment briefly on the long-range expectations for the Colleges. In the next two or three years, this University will see the continued development of a group of academic residential and non-residential institutions which will attempt to meet the needs of both students and faculty in unconventional but academically credible ways. The numbers of Colleges will not be very large: even over a three-year period, it would be surprising if the number exceeded 15 to 20. The emphasis will be on strengthening a moderately-sized system of Colleges. These Colleges will continue to be marked by diversity: diversity in academic interest, diversity in student constituencies, diversity in involvement with the larger communities, diversity in residential and non-residential character. And this diversity should become the most apparent characteristic of the whole system. At present the Colleges, though in fact quite heterogeneous, are seen as a homogeneous group. The fallacy of this present conception will be proved by the long-run future development of the system. Over the next few years the Colleges will have to be careful to serve both residential and non-residential constituencies. This is a major responsibility in a predominantly non-residential University. The University must continue to support such undertakings as College Z with its service to policemen, and Women Studies College with its extensive programs for Buffalo women. And residential Colleges such as Rachel Carson must be encouraged to continue their academic and public interest activities, while at the same time developing a residential community. There is no necessary contradiction between residential community and service to the larger constituencies of the University and the society; but resolution of competing demands must be made with the needs of both in mind. The greatest service the Colleges have provided to date, and must continue to provide in the future, is that of an alternative model of university education. Insofar as the Colleges meet the challenge of chartering, they will more effectively offer this alternative and have a more significant impact on the larger University, because they will bring into their internal operation a broader sample of the various members of the University. The students and faculty who in the past have sat on the sidelines as spectators will now be actively interested in the life of the Colleges. The major risk for the future is that the Colleges will continue to communicate a garrison mentality and that the rest of the University will give them reason to do so. The actions of all of those involved in the University and the Colleges will be critical for the next eight months. All parties have operated in good faith during the constitution of the Chartering Committee. Continued good faith by all through participation of the Colleges, through commitment of faculty energy, and through meaningful support in terms of coin, space and good will be the Administration will help everyone make present decisions which augur well for the long term future. But a mistake by any one of the parties could have adverse consequences which far transcend a particular action. The next few months will be precarious; but the future is definitely secure. — — Monday. 6 May 1974 .The Spectrum VsM 3 yahnoM . inGidaeqc 'J r i r . nineteen epis I �Money The diesel engine a save on gasoline by David Fessender Spectrum Staff Writer The price of gasoline in the United States is cheaper than in most countries of the world. Even with the recent price hikes, we still pay only 1/2 to 1/3 of the European price. This tremendous cost has induced the European companies to produce cars that save fuel or run Peugeot, Audi and on cheaper fuels. Three of these companies Mercedes have been using diesel engines with amazing results. The diesel is a modification of the standard gasoline engine. It has a high compression ratio, which means the pressure in the engine is extreme, almost three times as much as a standard engine. When the piston builds up this pressure, the fuel is injected into the combustion chamber. The high pressure causes the fuel to explode without the use of a spark plug. This eliminates the need for an ignition system, and the fuel injection eliminates the carburetor. But these simplications are less important than its fuel naracteristics. The high pressure in the engine creates a higher thermal efficiency. In other words, the same amount of fuel in a diesel does more work than in a standard engine. This is how the Peugeot averaged 37.3 miles per gallon in a coast to coast economy run. — — The rights of homosexuals according to law discussed such laws as the New York Sodomy Law, which many feel is used unfairly to prosecute homosexuals. James D. Haynes, a biology professor at the State University College at Buffalo, and Bonnie Strunk, a Syracuse Attorney, discussed their experiences regarding employment discrimination as members of the gay community. The employment discrimination panel also mentioned methods used by employers to discriminate against gay people and how to fight these tactics. “Homosexuality per se implies no impariment in judgment, stability reliability or general social or vocational capabilities,” maintains the American Psychiatric Association, which has recently removed homosexuality from its list of mental disorders. “And yet, solely on the basis of their sexual preferences, gay men and women lose occupational or employment opportunities every day.” These were among the opening remarks of a day-long conference on Gay Rights and the. Law sponsored Friday by the Student Bar Association. Shelly Convissar, a law student and conference coordinator explained that the purpose of the conference was “to give law students a chance to understand the problems of the gay community,” one of the least mentioned but most legally suppressed groups today. Gay student hassles Howard Mann, professor at the State University of Buffalo Law School, spoke on hassles gay law students may go through when applying for admittance to the Bar Association.

Frank Zappa Apostrophe (Discreed Records) Frank Zappa is a weapon to be used against people who don’t know who he is. That would make him a tool. Therefore he should be collectively owned. You therefore have an inherent right to steal his albums and sneak into his concerts. He named his son Dreasel Zappa. The next time he entered consciousness, he was discovered to be a human genius. Meaning he was a genius but could get burnt out in a very bad way. That is how he will have his second autobiography written. He has no emotions and his music suffers for it. However, non-creative manipulative genius has its own context. Delve on. The Mothers of Invention was a cop. The Fugs. It doesn’t matter. Don't get hung, it’s just a rumor. But Stravinsky Varese isn’t. Such is defined composition. If it sounds good, birthrights are for shit. Look at the past. Freak Out in Mmminesota Help I’m a Rock Go Frank.

Frank the newsman, the people’s ipusical magazine. Listening to Frank you can tell what’s happening in music up to date. Sergeant Pepper and San Francisco caused We’re Only In It For The Money. But Zappa’s head is the original Teenage Wasteland. If you weren’t able to cut it with the counterculture, you could put them down using Zappa for bullets. Hey Flower Punk.

But then again, it did get a few people through high school brown shoes don’t make it, quit school why fake it TV dinner by the pool, got another year of school and so on i through college, but suddenly the flame went out. Flo and Eddy, hello and goodbye. They did lame circus jokes while Frank stood by amused. Suddenly the Mothers were popular! Success and bucks. Fame and a house in Laurel Canyon. A living legend emerges from the underground. Frank Zappa the great composer. Bach, Beethoven and Zappa. No. Stravinsky, Stockhausen and Zappa. Hmtnm . . . better. And all the time, go Frank go. He formed bands and dissolved them, put out horseshit albums and got rich. Waste, waste, waste! As the music world stagnated, so did Frank. Nothing happening in the news, so to speak. Then came the art of recording perfection (in the interim there were ventures in producing, but Frank always ended up making enemies of his friends that way as tfMCipftain Lord of Beef Stro|anbifT will atfest),'and Frank together, Overnite Sensation slightly sterile bat got his great sound and nice riffs, not really there too drawn out and no lyrics at all except the-usual bullshit from ten years ago watered down by the thirty-year-old maturity.

Often referred to as the “Harlem Dance," the Dance Theater of Harlem took to the stage at Kleinhans and kept everyone excited for two-and-a-half to hours. Arthur Mitchell is a professional ballet dancer. The fact that he was black was unique. It seems that blacks didn’t excel in ballet, or perhaps were never encouraged to but after becoming an accomplished ballet dancer, Mitchell went to Manhattan’s ghetto and started what is now known as the Harlem Dance troupe. Basically, he took kids off the street and taught them how to dance. His accomplishment can be fully appreciated at a performance. Let me set the scene for you. We arrived at Kleinhans IS minutes before curtain just enough time for a bourbon and a ginger ale. It seemed that everyone in the audience was really decked out for this gig. Real highbrow, you know: “Oh yes, darling, the ballet is so artful.” And all the women were walking to and from the water fountain to show off their new dresses, while the Buffalo Philharmonic could be heard tuning up. — — whether you are a connoisseur of the arts or ji some poor slob at SUNYAB, you knew something great was happening on that stage Friday night, even if you didn't recognize it specifically. choreograph ly piece with some sort of set design, consisting of two circular disks of about a three-foot diameter made out of mirror. The stage opens with two dancers one male, one female atop the circular disks respectively. This piece was modern ballet, not the typical traditional ballet. Modem ballet is really quite beuatiful. Basically, the dancers still use the ballet technique, but this traditional concept is merged with the modem concept of expression. The result is beautiful, breathtaking and emotionally moving at times. “Bisofera” continues with just the two dancers, one dressed in black and the other in white. They go through some incredible movement together, ending in what could have been a gymnast demonstration. 1 guess you can tell I liked it. But it really was great. I'd.like to quote Marc Lietz in the following sentence. I think he says it perfectly: “Ah the Dance, what finer art hath man create? To express ourselves ultimately; the fusion of body with soul!” Special thanks must go to Dale Colton for helping make this article possible. - - Well-trained athletes lighting creates the mood Every one of those, dancers is a well-trained athlete; The program was four different pieces, each one their bodies have been tuned so well that there isn’t a consisting of at least three different movements and each muscle in them which doesn't respond when called upon lasting about 20 to 30 minutes. Interestingly, the company to do so. Every movement that they make, ranging from doesn’t use any sort of set design. The stage is completely from one side of the stage to the other or flying walking barren. Except for one of the four pieces, there is one side to the other, is art. Their arms move from from absolutely nothing on the stage but the dancers. But a set out of the they stay tall be extending from the back, is not really needed; the great lighting design by Paul they fly through the air with use of contraction abdomen, Sullivan creates the perfect moods and attitudes for each and The most subtle movement is an extremely release. piece through the use of color and variation of lights. controlled effort. Okay, the lighting was good, and the Buffalo Philharmonic was there, and Arthur Mitchell was great Of the four pieces, two were good and two were but at the same time, it all hinged on the 20 or so dancers, outstanding.

It’s not a pretty sight, resembling something like South Bronx moonscape modem. They fall about one in the morning, when the streets are empty and everyone is locked up safe and comfortable behind theit sheet-metaled triple-belted doors. Gates over the stores are up; lunar-orange sodium light smashes the broken windows and yawning cavities of half-bulldozed walls. Pieces of stone are found the next day smooth and polished with fine carvings by the skeltered junkies. A cactus grows from each, their prickly spines clawing those inquisitive enough to go near them. The earth trembles subway sounds: the cacti grow and crack the glossy stone. And when someone realizes there are names, “Goddamit, look at that. There are fucking names on the rocks,” everyone gathers around trying to grab their own. Gunshots and two drop. Shiny blades and three are slashed. The names mean nothing. Mr. Softee takes precedence over them. An old lady’s trained-to-kill beagle claws at the barred window, teased by dripping vanilla ice cream. Swelling symphonies of screams, shouts, yells, bury the names just as they have been for the past thirty years. Let them rest like the cratered lots and the bingo board signs. Forget them, there’s no picture, no image, because they’re going, going, gone like the serene shells of cracker-jack buildings lining the street. Sunsets over Mars Bars and crumpled cans, so the story goes. But it just didn’t happen that way. Nothing is ever that - - peaceful, except for the bodies tucked under the boardwalk, trying to remarkably hard to catch glimpses of the feet in between the slats of wood. Fish fill the red horizon and they wonder the important question of the day: How many split-rock cacti can fill a bathtub? But the sun has set, it’s dark, and the hard work for the day is done and finished. The smell of cleaned garbage filters through the beach the tide is sinking. Their minds wander to the significant things in life. Beer has saturated the sand so castles can be built. Battlements are scaled, wars are fought and victories proclaimed for the world to hear. For the newspapers to grab them and ask them for a picturoplease, I’m doing a cover story and if I don’t get this picture,' well, my wife and kids won’t be able to eat at Top of the Six’s this weekend. The Sopers spill onto the sand, disappear into the dungeons and turrets that work their way into the water. Time to reconsider necessities: it’s only'five and the sun should be back soon. Hard work.

You saw editions of the paper lying on the ground amid crunched soda bottles and half-eaten pencils, and you just wanted to scream to all the people walking all over it, shredding it into pulp. - When it happens, it happens,There’s no way to stop it or impede its steady take-over of your mind and soul. No Edison-type has yet invented a contraption that will make it totally useful. All of the life you’ve been living, from the day you stole your first handgun from the comer drug store to now, you’ve been working towards it. And it’s getting dizzy. The floor spins out from underneath you, you’re above the carousel on the horse without a saddle. Control is gone: it hascleared the air and palm trees sway, hula-hoops wind, yo-yo’s are sold by properous young pimps and lepers. Go beyond that. Given: you are two. There’s nothing cosmic, certainly nothing profound or remarkable about the situation. Nothing that a parajoumalist could write about clearly. Or a pseudojournalist. Antijoumalism is the answer. A writer of fictitious fact who slobbers towards the prize of Pulitzer and his name in lights. Your life is on printed paper, your name above it, perhaps on the sides of it. Ahhhh, your name. Not some chap from Dearborn’s name. Sweet sounds of fame. But it must be a plot what’s happening. You are two, right? It can never be forgotten; it should never be. You have become two distinct people. No schizophrenia scenes involved in this. Take the first part of you: What’s doing? 1 saw what you did in the paper. It was really fine.

Someone has taken over the old (dace and they have forgotten to change the name. Paper is a barrier. Behind it you can hide and not face the realities that are raping you. Paper reproduces people: two people for every one making use of it in some fashion. There is the one who is known as the person and the one who is just known as the name.

Perhaps they should be placed over people’s graves or over the stories all of the time. Another dimension: and now you’re three. It’s all so complicated. The Louds bared their insides, their wholes, to us. And it was boring and very sad. So perhaps splintering people into dimensions isn’t so bad after all. Keeps things moving, exciting.

Hie Spectrum Monday, 6 May 1974 . . �The name of the Western New York Public Interest Group has received considerable notoriety in recent days due to the involvement of its members in the “Coalition.” While we in the spotlight of public attention which has Coalition, we feel that it has tended to cast shadows upon WNYPIRG’s real work, which has continued throughout these budgetary crises. We arc therefore taking this opportunity to clarify the purposes and objectives of WNYPIRG. One of the results of the student revolutions of the ’60’s was an increased awareness on the part of students of the society in which they live. Students began to demand that their studies be related to the real world which existed outside the confines of college campuses. Organizations like WNYPIRG were formed to fill these needs. The public interest research group provides students with an outlet whereby their societal concerns can be channeled into productive activity. Students working in PIRG’s have produced important research documents which have resulted in changes in public policy. On our own campus, students have been involved in such research ventures as a soon-to-be-completed study of the New York State Legislature, in which individual profiles of each Senator and Assemblyman were produced. A “sex discrimination in employment agencies” study is also nearing completion. Some projects which students may recognize as having a more immediatebenefit to them include: a mass transit study (in conjunction with CAC) which examined the effects of the new'mass transit system on students; a supermarket pricing survey, which indicated to students which local grocery stores offered the most reasonable juices; a bike chain quality study, still in progress, which will indicate the safest types of bike chains and locks; a telephone study aimed at finding ways of reducing the costs of telephone service to students; and this is only a partial list. PIRG aims through its projects to confront areas in society which are in real need of reform (the legislature and the Public Service Commission for example), to examine these areas in detail, to suggest ways of improving their function, and to implement these suggestions. Along the way students gain knowledge and experience, and the community (including the University community) is better served. At the present time WNYPIRG’s viability as an organization is being threatened. WNYPIRG was the first public interest group established in New York State. In the three years of our existence, we have seen PIRG offices on other college and university campuses grow and prosper. Syracuse University, for example, supports a paid staff of three; Queens College has a functioning office which receives $80,000 from its students yearly. SUNY Oswego, with a student population of 7,000, has allocated $15,000 to a newly-opened PIRG office, while SUNY Binghamton has allocated $18,000. Here in Buffalo we are still functioning on the most limited level. In order to continue to function in a manner consonant with our ideals and objectives, it will be necessary for WNYPIRG to hire two professional and staff persons. This staff will serve to coordinate research efforts and to provide the kind of rigorous standards needed to produce solid research. They will serve, as no student could, as advisors, teachers, and as legal counsel. They will set standards to which student work must conform. They will contribute their expertise, and importantly, they will provide continuity in what is essentially a transient student community, renewing itself every four years. There is virtually no limit to the kinds and numbers of projects which can be undertaken by a fully staffed, functioning PIRG. It depends only upon the numbers and dedication of students. It is our hope that more and more students will undertake meaningful research projects under the auspices of WNYPIRG, but this can only happen if WNYPIRG is supported by the University community. WNVPIRG welcome been focused on the -* Nothing, a Cynicism is all that remains four years after Kent State - improving the quality of people’s lives corny as had been safely dispelled by a they now seem by Larry Kraftowitz — Campus Editor — government and its President. Amid all the fanfare about how the nation is being cleansed of an increasingly repressive government through the Watergate investigations, a certain numbness is hanging in the air. After a decade of watching American forces bomb and burn peasant villages in Asia; after hearing testimony by Attica defendantsabout arbitrary shootings, reprisals and torture; and after watching crowd disorder turn to tragedy at Kent State University exactly four years ago, it just isn’t that easy to respond with Apathy widespread Since then, the pattern has been all too clear. In 1971, an Ohio Grand Jury absolved the National Guardsmen of any blame, and Attorney General John Mitchell decided not to pursue the matter any further. The same students who only one year before had forced the premature shutdown of major campuses across the country appeared to be thinking more about jobs and dollars and less about Vietnam, emotion. Cambodia, ROTC, Allison Krause, Sandra Lee I remember how my appetite dissappeared the Scheur, Jeffrey Glenn Miller and William Schroeder. In 1973, the country’s emotional level appeared first time 1 read this account of the 1970 Kent State to be on the rise. The bold investigative reporting of murders by United Press International (UPI) Carl Berstein and Bob Woodward was carrying the correspondent Robert E. Corbett: "I noticed one demonstrator lying on the term “Watergate” to the forefront of people’s ground,” wrote Corbett on May 4, 1970. “Several of thoughts impeachment proceedings were initiated his comrades stood by, some crying, and others against a President who seemed to have something to hide, and Attorney General Elliott Richardson angered to the point of incoherency. He had a gunshot wound in his hip the size of a half-dollar and reopened the investigation of the Kent State murders. was barely conscious. “A quick look around confirmed three similar scenes. All three were men and all seemed to have been shot in the lower abdomen. All bled profusely. “One victim lay in a pool of blood on a concrete walkway. As I got closer, I saw he had his head split open by a bullet, his eyes were crossed and blood was pouring from his mouth and nose.” Movement ended Kent State drove us to the peak of emotional outrage; but it also proved to be the straw that broke the peace movement’s back. The nationwide protests which ensued after the killings were probably the most frenzied of the entire antiwar movement. But the protestors crammed all their emotional fury into the space of a few short days, and in the end were left without a reserve. Within days, the Kent State campus deserted except for a handful of sheriff’s officers, National Guardsmen and State Police on patrol had become static and sterile; the peace movement would soon follow suit. By summer’s end, Kent State had faded into the innermost recesses of the American consciousness. Instead of picking up where they left off, thousands of frustrated young students had found a comfortable refuge in cynicism. Years of fruitless had simply climaxing with Kent State protest left them emotionally played out. Any idealistic dreams they might have had of righting wrongs and Ethics of experimentation by through the committees. “You know what doesn’t get through the committees. When you use the word ‘shock.’ But shock is usually not painful and it’s external just a quick zap.” He added: “But the real dangerous kinus of things are the subtle things.” For instance, he explained that anticipation of shock is much worse than the actual shock; It can ruin somebody.” “How can you describe or detect the situations that are going to grunch people the worst and have an effect on the person [ed - - — - —continued from page 3 . As recently as this year, indictments were brought against Richard Nixon’s closest aides and eight National Guardsmen were indicted for the Kent State murders. Dark events But June 6 will mark the second anniversary of the Watergate break-in. John Mithcell and Maurice Stans have been acquitted of 15 counts of obstruction of justice, perjury and conspiracy. President Nixon has repeatedly succeeded in delaying the House Judiciary Committee’s impeachment ivestigation. The eight National Guardsmen will still have to stand trial for the shootings at Kent State. The validity of the Warren’s Commission’s report on the assasination of John F. Kennedy has been seriously questioned, but no legislator has had the guts to reopen it. Any belief that faith in the country’s institutions is being restored must therefore be Seriously questioned. Instead of spreading optimism, let alone interest, recent events have only forced people to take things even less seriously. Nothing surprises anyone anymore. And believing that more young people are more satisfied with American institutions than they were as measured by the almost total in the sixties nonexistence of campus unrest today is like saying a person who keeps everything bottled up inside is — - healthier than someone who shows emotion. — . the rest of his life?” Dr. Loftis asked. “You would have to be a novelist to convey the actual effect some of these experiments would have.” “The ethics committees can only hope to cut down the more obvious stupid things people do,” explained Dr. Loftis. He believes that the individual experimenter must exercise considerable discretion. “You have to rely on the individual making decisions. There is no way to legislate integrity, responsibility, good taste or intelligent decisions,” he said. However, Dr. Loftis said that one can ask the experimenter to make an “extra investment in cleverness” which would produce an experimental design that would test a theory without harming the subject. For instance, when an experimenter may get an idea, he said, a way to test that idea may immediately come to mind. But if that idea is drastic or gross, the experimenter must spend the time trying to develop a less offensive way to look for the same things. However, it is not always possible to design an experiment that will produce significant knowledge without infringing on the rights of the subject in some way. Was the temporary stress inflicted on Morris Braverman worth the increased knowledge for manking on blind obedience to authority? Will Mr. Braverman be a better person fpr his increased knowledge, or will he be forever tormented by his capacity for evil? The debate rages on: The benefits to mankind versus the rights of the individual. Monday, 6 May 1974 The Spectrum Page twenty-seven . . �'V > i,3 ' v*A*?''.7 V ?,• ■2 f. ■• m ■<!

Buffalo’s win moved their record to 18-10-1, 15-4 since returning from the lefthander Steve Warner stopped Buffalo in silence, the south. the nightcap. The Bulls seemed to hit too anxious everything Warner threw, which they did, with almost no success. • Silent bats were a major factor in the Bulls split with Brockport Thursday at Peelle Field. Buffalo dropped a 3-2 nightcap decision after winning the opener, 5-4, in eight innings. _ The Bulls began Friday’s contest as they had ended Saturday’s with a whimper. Griffin ace Bill Leonard held Buffalo to one run and two hits before yiedling a bases-full double to Dan Gorman in the seventh. Canisius rallied to cut the deficit to 4-3 before the ninth inning explosion. Reliever Mike Klym stymied Brockport for three and two-thirds innings in relief of Jim Riedel in Saturday’s opener to get credit for th? victory, but knuckleballing No collapse here “We just expected Brockport to fold, you can’t play like that,” said Bull coach Bill Monkarsh. “We kept saying, “we’ll wait for the big inning,’ but it never came.” The Bulls face a tough road to the NCAA playoffs, with small college power Ithaca (second in the college division World Scries last year) and district II defending champion Penn State looming as obstacles. Buffalo faced Ithaca yesterday, and will host the Nittany Lions Wednesday in a twin bill. St. John’s, 19-2 this season, has practically locked yp one playoff spot. Seton Hall is currently leading the Metropolitan Conference and will probably be another nominee. The Middle Atlantic ~~ - WilFflmMM Conference has seen favored Temple ousted by Delaware Thus, Buffalo and Penn State will probably be battling for a single playoff position Wednesday afternoon. Each team is expected to lead with their aces Jim Riedel and John Buszka for Buffalo, Mitch Lukevics and Brian Masella for the Lions. Lukevics and Masella each owned a win over Buffalo last season, Lukevics blanking - -Turk the Bulls, 6-0 to complete a doubleheader sweep (first game won by Penn State, 17-0) at Penn State. Masella defeated Buffalo, 3-1, in the playoffs last spring. Buffalo could earn the berth with a pair of victories, if they play as well as they have on several occasions. If they play as they did against Brockport, the scoreboard may have to be enlarged to contain Penn State’s final score. Bulls finish third; Stephens most valuable performer by Dave Geringer the Student Association. Perhaps CAC could also be required to produce sufficient income. They could charge people in the community for their services. Every student who is tutored in a CAC project, could, for example, pay SI per week. This would minimize any allocation that they would have to receive. CAC might even turn out to be a big moneymaker. Various other groups that desire funding could raise money be various means. The presidents of various clubs could raise money through nationwide speaking tours. If they recieved half the response that McGovern did in the 1971 election, they could open a bank. If $ 1 did not suffice, perhaps $4 or $5 could be charged, in the same manner as a professional football team raises its ticket prices every year. People would probably think that they were getting a better product, resulting in increased attendance. It is absolutely amazing that students would consider implementing an idea that involved paying for something that they formerly received for nothing. It is equally amazing that students would allow themselves to be placed in “double jeopardy” paying twice for the same program. The possibilities for the future are ominous. A yearly increase in prices and a like decline in attendance will ultimately give the people of the anti-athletic faction their day. *a 1 Invitational meet Sudden death The many potential geniuses inhabiting Buffalo are once again playing their game of musical proposals regarding the Athletic Department. The latest proposal is one which would involve charging students to attend home contests in various sports. Hockey, basketball and possibly wrestling might be affected. The wisdom of this idea is so obvious that one wonders why it cannot be extended to everything. Of course, students don’t care whether they have to pay $1 or not to watch hockey, basketball or wrestling. Students are usually rich, anyway, so this money probably won’t be missed. As everyone knows, it doesn’t make any difference to anyone whether or not they are charged for an event that they should, by virtue of paying for the program itself, be seeing free. Naturally, no decrease in attendance will result. As a matter of fact, it would'probably triple, because students would probably believe that, since they are being charged, the product that they are getting is better than that which they did not have to payTor previously. Perhaps this logic can be' extended to all Student Association expenditures. Since each and every member of the student body obviously benefits from WNYP1RG, perhaps they could be persuaded to charge a fee for each of their services to each student who desires them. Since their services are in such great demand, they would undoubtedly be able to raise the mere pittance that they require from •'A* by Dave Hnath Staff Writer Rochester for third place with 37 points, 17 more than the Yellowjackets and St. Bonaventure. Spectrum Edinboro State repeated as champion, but freshman Eldred Stephens led the track Bulls to a surprising third place finish in the 22nd annual U/B invitational meet Saturday at Rotary Field. Stehpens took two first-place medals (doubling in the long and triple jumps), placed second in the 100-yard dash, and helped Buffalo to a third-place finish in the 440-yard relay to amass 16% points, edging out Rochester Tech's Bob MasiHus (repeat winner in both the shot put and discus) and Edinbero’s John Walker (defending titlist in both the 120 high and 440 intermediate hurdles) in the “most valuable performer" category. In all, nine events had repeat winners, while three returning champions were dethroned. Edinboro was invincible as defending meet champion, however, accumulating 127V4 points to shatter their record of 99 team points set last year. R.I.T. again placed second, upping their team total to 15 lA from last year’s 61, and the Bulls pulled a major upset, knocking off perennial power McDonough surprising “I figured we’d be fourth,” said Bull coach Jim McDonough, “but we upset Rochester for third place. Edred was outstanding. He led us to third place with his 16% points. Rick Bernard also did well with his win in the pole vault [13’0”],” added McDonough. Buffalo assistant coach Don Sauer was also pleased with the results. “I thought our guys did well,” remarked Sauer, who placed second in the six-mile run in the open competition. “1 just didn’t have any kick left,” reported Sauer, as Edinboro’s John Foreman outdistanced the Bull graduate assistant after running neck-and-neck for 23M laps. “Edinboro’s loaded they’re three deep in every event,” related McDonough,” and R.I.T. made their usual strong showing.” R.I.T. coach Peter Todd was surprised with Buffalo’s third place upset. “They (Rochester] have more than 85% of their kids on scholarships,” commented Todd.

Their 9-0 victory over crosstown rival Buffalo State on Thursday raised their composite margin to 25-2 over the past three matches and their record to 3-1. The wide margin reflected both Buffalo’s strong play, and the weakness of their opponents. Buffalo State, also shut out in the teams’ meeting last fall, had several new faces in their line-up. Bengal coach Mike Machado commented: “I feel we’ve improved ourselves, but we’re still weak.” The Bengals won two sets, compared to none in the fall. The Bulls received strong play throughout their lineup. Freshman Rob Gurbacki was devastating as sixth singles, downing the Bengals Wilson Ferrari 6-1, 6-0. Gurbacki, who does not rely on power but rather on finesse and placement, ran his winning streak to eight matches in S4JOO col. inch season). With the Bulls leading 6-0 at the start of doubles competition, coach Norb Baschnagel moved his second doubles team of Al Boardman and Jeff Sepp to first string. They responded to the challenge with a 7-6,6-7,6-3 win. Baschnagel, looking ahead to the post-season Eastern Intercollegiate Championships, held at Rochester, took this as a good omen. “Boardman and Sepp could do very well in the ‘B’ bracket [the lower bracket at the DEADLINES: MONDAY, WED., FRIDAY •t 5 p.m. for next issue ALL CLASSIFIED AOS MUST BE PREPAID BY MAIL OR IN PERSON AT THE SPECTRUM 365 Norton Hall.

The team’s captain and first singles player. Rich Abbott, has also been playing excellent tennis lately. “Rich Abbott is very steady.

No. 82 Will man torture because ‘authority’orders it? Editor’s Note: In 1963, Yale psychologist Stanley Milgram conducted a startling series of obedience experiments demonstrating that man is compelled to carry out orders to a horrifying degree. In this first article of a two-part series, the Milgram experiment is examined in detail and its widespread implications are discussed by Dr. Milgram and various State University of Buffalo psychologists. Part Two will explore the complex ethical questions associated with the Milgram study and examine the very nature of psychological experimentation. then quadrupled from left to right with the and emotional.

A series of frightening experiments by has Milgram Stanley psychologist demonstrated that man may indeed be compelled to commit the most heinous crimes under orders from an authority figure. The systematic annihilation of six million Jews during World War Two and the slaughter of countless women and children at My Lai may have been carried out by people simply trying to do their jobs. Intended to “test how much pain an ordinary citizen would inflict on another person simply because he was ordered to by an experimental scientist,” Dr. Milgram’s 1963 experiments have raised important questions about man’s capacity for evil and have highlighted the tremendous impact obedience plays in our society. The experiments are also fraught with ethical questions about the very nature of psychological experimentation. Dr. Milgram pitted “stark reality against the subject’s strongest moral imperatives against hurting others” and unexpectedly found that “with the subjects’ ears ringing with the scream of victims, authority won more often than not IHarper’s Magazine, December 1973]. Terror Utilizing an experimental scenario that* successfully portrayed vivid terror, the obedience experiment began when two were a learner and a teacher people laboratory, brought into Dr. Milgram’s obstensibly to take place in a study testing the effects of punishment on learning and memory. ‘The learner (actually an experimental confederate) is conducted into a room, seated in a kind of miniature electric chair; his arms are strapped to prevent excess movement, and an electrode is attached to his wrist,” Dr. Milgram explained. In the presence of the teacher, the learner is “told that he will be read lists of simple word pairs, and that he will then be tested on his ability.to remember the second word of the pair when he hears the first one again.” The learner is then told that “whenever he makes an error, he will receive shocks of increasing intensity.” In an interview with The Spectrum, Dr. obedience that the Milgram said “an awareness us with experiments provide of the problem of indiscriminate obedience authority.” He continued: “The research shows how much we have a ready predisposition to even evil lend ourselves to authority to — authority.” This makes it imperative that we pay “greater attention to those we place in these positions of authority,” Dr. Milgram maintained. Additionally, we should investigate “other systems of authority” and attempt to “invent one in which conscience is getting a better chance,” especially when faced with “malevolent authority.” “If there is a beast in man,” he added, that beast becomes a “mouse” in the face of authority. “Once you are in the system of authority, he added, it is very hard to fight.” Amnesty Dr. Milgram said he was “strongly in favor of amnesty” for those who refused the government’s orders to fight in the Vietnam War. A full accounting of the obedience experiments is found in Dr. Milgram’s recent book Obedience to Authority (1974, Harper and Row). Explaining the experimental findings. Dr. Milgram wrote that “the essence of obedience is that a person comes to view himself as the instrument for carrying out another person’s wishes, arid he therefore no longer regards himself as responsible for his actions.” He continued: ‘The most far-reaching consequence is that the person feels responsible to the authority directing him, but feels no responsibility for the content of the actions that the authority prescribes.” Jack Loftis, professor of Psychology at the State University of Buffalo, said that the people in the Milgram experiment who shocked the victim at the end of the scale “weird notion” of exhibited a responsibility. “If somebody says ‘1 have the responsibility’ as the experimenter did then people think they can do anything,” Dr. Loftis maintained. - — — — Electronic sadism The real focus of the experiment, according to Dr. Milgram, is the teacher (or experimental subject) who “watches the learner being strapped into place” before being seated in front of an “impressive shock generator.” of 30 switches, the Consisting instrument panel is seemingly a maze of electronic sadism. “Each switch is clearly labelled with voltage designations ranging from 15 to 450 volts” and the switches are Pressures The people did not stop to think: “1 at some figured into the casual chain point 1 had a choice,” he continued. And although this was only an experiment. Dr. Loftis said that in the “real world” the pressures to conform are even stronger. For instance, government sanctions and the demands of their own roles were factors which Adolf Hitler’s prevented subordinates from disobeying his orders. “People should be able to step aside opt out of the system, [but] you just can’t expect that. Most people don’t have the time or ability to do that... people fall into roles to save trouble in the first place.” Even in Nazi Germany, everything was gradual, he continued. “There was never a clear decision where you stop going along with the regime. First it’s one Jew, then two then 50 or 100 people per day,” said Dr. Loftis. In the Milgram experiment there was also a lack of a clear-cut decision first a low shock level, then point slightly higher, always by increments. ... strengthens his belief in the authenticity of the machine.” Pain The point of the experiment is “to see how far a person will proceed in a concrete and measurable situation in which he is ordered to inflict increasing pain on a protesting victim,” explained Dr. Milgram in the Harper’s article. After each incorrect response, the learner is supposedly given increasingly severe shocks from the teacher (the real subject). The learner actually receives no shocks at all and his elicited screams are produced by a tape-recording. “At 75 volts, he [the learner] grunts; at 120 volts he complains loudly; at ISO he demands to be released from the experiment. As the voltage increases, his protests become more and more vehement responsibility for the learning experiment. “To extricate himself from the plight, the subject must make a clear break with authority,” explained Dr. Milgram. Incredibly, 25 of the 40 subjects in the first experiment obeyed the experimenter’s orders to the very end of the shock scale. That experiment was conducted with Yale undergraduates, leading one of Dr. Milgram’s colleagues to dismiss the 60% obedience level as “having no relevance to ‘ordinary’ people. But Dr. Milgram repeated the study with non-students and obtained the same experimental result. And when the experiments were repeated by other social scientists in various sectors of the world including South Africa, Italy and West the obedience level was even Germany higher than it had been in the New Haven studies. — •* — — — — War “People claim that the Milgram thing shouldn’t have happened, that we should —continued on page 6— �WJwjSP? ‘ • Jt Injunction leavesfate ofbudget voting up in air ** xhc coalition includes Th studen t WNYPIRG, CAC, ana me o . ContributingEditor The fate of the 1974-75 Student Association (SA) budget remained unclear Wednesday night after the Student Wide Judiciary (SWJ) issued an injunction preventing SA “from passing, voting or in any way finalizing” its budget until an audit of 1972-73 SA spending is published. The ruling by Chief Judge John J. Sullivan was announced after defense counsel Richard Lippes conceded the case by noting that his client, SA, was willing to await an audit before resuming the budget hearings. He explained that SA had' conducted an informal poll of students and found that the student body would rather await an audit than go ahead with budget debate. The ruling could have an immediate effect on whether the Student Assembly will get an opportunity to vote on the SA budget this semester. If the audit is not published by Tuesday, May 7, the budget will revert to the SA Executive Committee for decisions during the summer. “There shall -be a reasonable time of at least one day after the publication” of the audit “to provide an opportunity for all concerned parties to examine the information contained therein,” the injuction order reads. . . ■ someone from the Administration. It is not yet known what these REP forms may reveal or what impact they will have at budget proceedings. It is generally agreed that they may contain potentially explosive information. The SWJ ruling came after Student Assemblyperson Gary Schwartz filed a complaint against SA last Wednesday, arguing that he had a right to see the results of the audit before the Assembly voted on budgets. At that time the SWJ issued a four-day temporary restraining order, providing an opportunity for both sides to gather evidence pertaining to the by Jeffrey S.

He continued: “I’m not going to defend the integrity of Mr. Ross but I’m sure the integrity of Mr. Humm is questionable.” WNYPIRG members have also insisted that all the funds it recieives will be used strictly for projects which benefit University students. The coalition budget also provides for an increase in the Community Action Corps (CAC) budget, and its director David Chavis defended the proposed increase. “CAC services more students this year than in any previous year. We’ve had a large increase in volunteers and increased the number of projects Trom 48 to 70, and they are well diversified.” Mr. Chavis added: “The small increase offered by the Finance Committee is actually a cutback, because we have to pay for a van next year and increased salaries for our secretary .” Sal Napoli, SA treasurer, agreed with Mr. Humm that the coalition proposal is “hasty” and “interest group-oriented.” Mr Humm believes that the attempt to cut out the seven athletic programs is “without permission from the student body at ” - ...

However, there have been conflicting reports as to when the audit might be available.

The animals’ ears will be marked for identification purposes. In this way, may an animal be individually observed to see what such traits, behavioral as dominance or submissiveness, might appear. “I suspect that animals have personalities just as humans do,” Dr. Hull was quoted in the last Courier-Express Buffalo November. She began to feel this when evidence of great individual variability began to appear in her results. “In the park condition, some males were clearly more dominant than Animals do have others. dominance she hierarchies,” added. behavior Behavioral sink Dr. Hull’s research has not revealed any of the phenomena noticed by J.B. Calhoun. He created a “behavioral sink,” formed by a box divided into four Misused research Michael Edelstein, a doctoral student in social psychology at this University, claims that “this is way rooms, each connected by a door, except for two rooms in the center. Thus, the animal could get from any one room to another, but could not complete a circular path. This behavioral revealed differences between structure the two end pens and the two ceiitral pens, In the central and more crowded pens, the following personality emerged: types “adolescent homosexuality, leader, and with a gangs” apathetic animals that rarely ventured from their burrows. Speculators have compared this “behavioral sink” to cities, where similar behaviors develop in humans.

He chose to define crowding, for his own research, as “a variable of a psychological frustration where one person gets in the way of another.” He distinguished this from density, which Dr. Calhoun was measuring, as a combination of the number of people in the setting and the size of the room. “The feeling of crowding is due to density, room temperature, privacy, freedom to act in the presence of others, how much others frustrate you, and the maintenance boundaries of between yourself and others,” he said. Partitioned walls, windows and doorways can affect fhis feeling of crowding, he added, noting how these effects can be in designing housing considered projects. Large space preferred Mr. Edelstein’s past research has shown that a larger space enabled his subjects to complete a task better than a space, and in larger and control morp cooperative smaller groups, developed. He organization suggests applying these concepts to designing buildings in a manner that would control a person’s perception of the room size to avoid the discomfort of crowding. Some other results from studies with humans have shown that crowding had no effect on problem solving. However, male jurors in courts issued harsher verdicts when the courtroom was crowded than when it was not, while no variations for women were apparent. Dr. Hull would eventually like to collaborate with the human making environmental changes to lessen the deleterious effects of crowding. Some time in the distant future, she envisions studies, the possibility environments in would diminish of creating prisons that stress the of crowding. -n you get «ti it-* easy the making! from hi.

The results clearly indicated that most of the agencies recommended management training or sales jobs for men and typing > or clerical jobs for women. Sex discrimination is an “illegal practice,” said Ms. Benjamin, adding that WNYPIRG had hoped to prosecute but doesn’t have a lawyer. She said a more comprehensive study would be conducted in the fall, and hopefully, by that time, WNYPIRG “will have the legal backing to pursue the case.” She did praise the Dunhill Agency, located 584 Delaware Avenue, for its fairness and lack of discrimination. She also requested anyone who has had similar discrimination problems to call the WNYPIRG office and possibly file a complaint with the Human Rights Commission. House says Nixon has not complied with order In a sharply partisan vote, the House impeachment inquiry voted Wednesday night to inform President Nixon that he has “failed to comply” with its subpoena for 42 Watergate tapes. By a 20—18 vote, with only one Republican joining the Democratic majority, the committee decided to send a letter to Mr. Nixon saying that he failed to comply with the committee’s subpoena by publicly releasing edited transcripts of 31 of the 42 subpoenaed tapes.

Strictly interpreted, Mr. Donovan feels this will prevent a citizen from learning what is listed under his own name. He believes the BNC probably couldn’t legally preclude access by the individuals, “but would probably discourage it.” The BNC “may have an obligation” to provide the information, and probably “could supply dates and times” to the individual for confirmation.

Dear Mr. President: Once again within the last year or so, foreign students are facing a new crisis. According to information from the Office of Foreign Student Affairs, under the new regulations foreign students will be required to obtain approval for summer employment directly from the United States Immigration and Naturalization Service, whereas in the past, universities have been permitted to approve summer employment for them. Now such' an authorization will be granted only if the student provides documentary proof that he or she needs summer employment because of economic necessity. The Chairman, the Co-Chairman and all the other members of the International Student Committee (BC) come to denounce this action for thejollowing reasons: 1) This actioh was taken (or at least was brought to the attention of the foreign students) only one month ahead of the summer employment session. So the foreign students were surprised once more (as they were last year with the case of the tuition waivers cutbacks). Most of the students have made their summer plans. Now they are in the midst of their final exams and they have not enough time to provide documentation in compliance with the proposed regulations. 2) Foreign students depend heavily on summer employment, firstly, because during the regular academic year they are required to be full-time students and they are not permitted to work off-campus except in special circumstances, and then only part time; and secondly, with the recent cutbacks on the tuition waivers, their financial burden has been increased considerably. 3) Foreign students are not eligible for any other source of financial assistance. 4) An obvious question is, what will those foreign students who neither take courses nor are employed during the summer months, do during that period? We know that this matter has been brought to your personal attention and that you have been doing everything you can to prevent such regulations from being enforced. We are also confident that you, as the leader of this institution, will continue to protect the rights and privileges of the foreign students on this campus. We would appreciate it if some positive action were taken to alleviate the present difficult situation for the foreign students. The InternationalStudent Committee College E will divide into two distinct units Like a splitting amoeba. College E is planning to divide a into two units next year residential “College of the Poor” and a Media Studies College. — The College of the Poor is being developed because the University has not fulfilled its mandate to help the community, explained a College E spokesman. One of the many problems confronting minority groups on campus and poor and oppressed people in the community is that they are fragmented, said another Collelge E member. The residentail College of the Poor will try to unite these fragmented groups and form a strong mutual tie' between the campus and community. Courses taught by yniversity faculty will be offered in the poor sections of Buffalo, while courses at the residential college on the Amherst Campus while will be taught by members of the community. This will porvide an exchange of resources between university and community: “Now is the time to develop plans for the College of the Poor as we prepare our proposals for chartering of the Colleges,” said a College E - spokesman. B announces o St earanceof • , *' u: ** Media courses needed The second area of planned expansion is College E’s media studies program. “There is a growing need for journalism courses on this campus,” said Howie Kurtz, Editor-in-Chief of The Spectrum and instructor of the Reporting and Writing Workshop offered through College E. “This year, The Spectrum's Reporting and Writing Workshop attracted some 50 students each semester,” added Mr. Kurtz. “Many students come out of high school with little or no writing skills, and since the English department here is generally literature oriented and the writing in English composition courses is generally free-form, students do not have an opportunity to learn disciplined writing skills,” Mr. Kurtz noted. Plans for this fall include an increased selection of courses taught by faculty from College E, the English department and professional journalists from the community, said Mr. Kurtz. The courses will be primarily in either seminar form, where small groups can examine in-depth such issues as media and society or law and journalism, said Mr. Kurtz, or workshop form, with the emphasis on practical experience. “I feel that with proper guidance, this technique of practical experience of working in the field rather than sitting in a classroom is much more effective,” Mr. Kurtz explained. He hopes these courses will be offered regularly and in a progressive sequence from basic to advanced. Some of the courses now on the drawing board are: Media and Society, Copy Editing, Journalism and Law, Photojournalism, Media Self-Censorship and others that aren’t strictly related to writing such as Production, Layout, and Advertising and Design. Mr. Kurtz foresees the courses utilizing the resources of The Spectrum, Ethos and Univesrity Press to enhance the practical application of newly learned journalistic skills.

I’ve just walked over to the Rotary tennis courts see about getting in some tennis this afternoon only to find that all the tennis courts were taken. Now 1 don’t mind if the courts are crowded because a lot of people like to play. But when I go to the courts and can’t play because the tennis team monopolizes them. I’ve got a perfect right to be to Fighting the wrong battle What has been the biggest issue on campus this year? The Colleges? Health care? A student voice in academics? Unfortunately, it has been the recent Student Association budget battles. It is of course understandable that organizations must fight for money when their own vested interests and the services they provide are at stake. The controversy over SA budget priorities has been healthy to the extent that it prompted student participation in their own student government, and to the extent it made a complacent student body wake up and question where their money was going. But what will happen to the student energies now being expended after the budgets are passed? What will happen to "the coalition" of interest groups bodies with diverse as goals WNYPIRG, minority such students and the Jewish Student Union when the budget pie is sliced up and the common goal of securing money no longer unites them? We have argued from the outset that SA's original budget was a package of warped one that screwed social service priorities organizations while over-allocating to certain athletic teams that attract less students than the cltess club. But the coalition's response has been wholesale slashes in athletics chopping teams without a second thought; and attacking usually tokens tossed to student stipends underpaid workers. Instead, they have blindly added thousands of unexplained dollars to the allied interest groups with no item-by-item justification, just a blank check. We urge that priorities be reordered in favor of WNYPIRG, but in a justifiable CAC and minorities budget. The overzealous insistence on an audit has — — — — — — — — — — Page eight The Spectrum . . j 11 ci: . now delayed the SA budgets so long that the Executive Committee not the Assembly will have to decide them this summer. No one has denied the need for an audit; but the coalition has screwed itself by its obsession with abuses in last year's SA spending. We would welcome stricter controls such as a justification for all travel money spent to prevent abuses in SA spending. But certain coalition crusaders seem more interested in embarassing individuals than in corrective measures and have argued away their voice in the SA budget in the process. But where were all these student activists when the Faculty-Senate was castrating the Colleges? The crime of the budget controversy is that while health care was being attacked; while the Vietnam War is fueled by America and a criminal President continues to disgrace the country; and while the student voice in academics has died down to a whisper, the biggest burst of student energy all year has been expended in fighting other students for dollars. Some of the more idealistic members of the interest group coalition have expressed the hope that their combined efforts represent the birth of a new student movement on campus. But their energy should be directed toward achieving greater input by students into their own education: having a say in which professors get tenure and remain on campus to teach them, in what grading system is used to evaluate them, and in preserving a viable form ofalternative education in the Colleges. But no unified student movement can conceivably take place until students stop fighting each other for money and start channelling their efforts toward strengthening the student voice on campus.

The title story on “parajournalism,” while interesting, had a number of flaws that destroyed any point that Ms. Dube might have been trying to get at. 1) Parajourhalism is subjective journalism that projects more of the authors’ feelings than any other brand of journalism. As such, it should be considered in the same manner as editorial opinion (which incidently is how the New York Times treats it). 2) Parajournalism found its way to commercial television not because of an attempt to “present a complete news report” but rather because it is found to be in step with the new type of entertainment newscasts. After all, that is Jimmy Breslin that I see on NBC local news in N.Y.C. 3) Parajournalism has been all but forgotten on public television by stations who do not have the need to make the news interesting. What appears evident to me is that serious journalists have not neglected parajournalism but rather discarded it. Albert Widman �Throogh the Abernathy snubbed poking Glaee To the Editor: This past Monday and Tuesday, Community Action Corps, the largest student organization on this campus, held its fifth annual Communications Conference. The purpose of this conference was to discuss University and Community Interaction. The keynote speaker was Rev. Dr. Ralph Abernathy, President of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference. Dr. Abernathy, a leader in the civil rights movement since the early sixties and chief aide to the late Dr. Martin Luther King presented talks on both the 29 and 30 of April giving his views on bridging the' gap between the university and community and making the university accessible to the larger community. Not one member of this University Administration attended either session or even bothered to respond to the invitations of CAC. We (CAC) are particularly disturbed that a man of Dr. Abernathy’s stature can visit a University of this size to discuss issues that should be of primary concern to the administration, yet he was not welcomed nor acknowledged by the administration. In light of the fact that the conference was attended by the -Honorable Stanley Makowski, Mayor of Buffalo and other community leaders made the administration’s lack of participation profoundly noticable.

It’s next year not that I won’t be back in Buffalo will by my eighth but it seems that a doctoral dissertation and a weekly column just don’t mix. It is also uppermost in my mind that at times staleness can creep into a creative effort when it is done for a fairly long time, and like the proverbial husband, the author is the last to know. I hope that this column has not become boring or predictable; but before rigor mortis sets in, I’d like to bow out with all my colors flying. To those people who have made me part of I thank you. For a their weekly activity world; a world in isolated columnist, it is an which something is created weekly, but without any reaction on the part of the receptors.

The highest honor that the column could receive would be if it was saved for bathroom reading; America’s bathrooms are probably the greatest reading rooms in the world. When I was an undergraduate, there were certain columnists that I looked forward to reading; Rick Schwab and John Bradley, to name only two. The rest of the paper was utilized in a businesslike manner; to kill time between classes or to pass the time in an especially boring class. 1 had dreams for writing a column even back then, but inherent cowardice and a third-grade command of the English language held me back.

His departure from the University should be regarded with regret. Dr. Farber has made innumerable contributions to the field of philosophy, to social analysis, and to the carification of experience. He has been a professor since 1925 and a Distinguished Professor since 1964. Dr. Farber founded and has edited for over thirty years one of the most highly respected international academic journals, Philosophy and Phenomenological Research-, He has also written many articles, and several full-length books. Dr. Farber’s stand against idealism and certain rhetorical philosophies, which are now widespread, as well as his reestablishment of certain parts of phenomenology on a materialistic base, have significantly effected a means of analysis within the discipline of philosophy. Dr. Farber, who is now over seventy years old, is retiring to write; and since he is a scholar with an incredibly acute mind, it is not with false hope that he may be wished many more years of productive work. The discipline of philosophy, its students, and this University are indebted to Dr. Farber for many years of a devoted and responsible attitude toward his students, as well as for his many cogent, non-ethereal philosophical works. Dr. Farber will certainly be missed by this University; but the discipline of philosophy looks forward to his works yet to come. add). I must thank my former roommmate, Jack, who pushed this reluctant babe into The Spectrum office two summers ago and foistered me upon the managing editor. 1 was given a chance to write a trial column they were really short of columnists that summer. Well, after laborious hours which primarily consisted of and rewrites, my first satire was created unfortunately, people thought I was serious. I was on my way! Originally this column appeared every other week; however, after a severe bout of ego-tripping, I went weekly. Since then, every idea and thought that lay slumbering in the dimmest recesses of my mind has been trotted out and laid before you. At times 1 was quite serious, but then again blasphemy, low comedy, and crassness also had their day. At times an idea burst forth like a wild horse; at other times the process of creation was so painful that 1 wished that I had never written a column. My - - A student long-suffering roommates, Dave, Ozz, and Jeff, I salute you for unusual and heroic behavior in light of my common flights into the realm of the absurd. My closest friend, Heidi, had to put up with flashes of brilliance which erupted at moments when other forms of behavior would have been more appropriate. This column was a giant ego-message; through the printed word I could reach a mass audience that could not interrupt me in Ihe middle of a crucial line of reasoning. It’s fun seeing your own name in print; interesting to sec the reactions that I sometimes provoked; and enjoyable to know that what I am writing is not for a grade. At times I was quite proud of my times it seemed quite creations; other embarassing that the drivel in The Spectrum belonged to me. Some columns stick in my consciousness; the one on JAPs which appeared a year ago and got an overwhelmingly favorable response from JAP’s, who showed it to their friends in order to put them down. In retrospect, some columns which burst forth from my brain and seemed to be the most rewarding now seem pallid, while some of the columns that I wrote with panic and a mental void seem to have withstood the test of time. The only times that I received any response was when one group or another felt that I slandered them and insulted their most cherished beliefs. Don’t worry, those crass comments and blasphemous remarks were intended to be insulting. 1 tried to protect nothing, I tried to educate and stimulate thought; whether through satire or a serious essay. Yet, there is no possible or if, as 1 way to know if I really got through said before, this column was even read. My friends reacted to the columns and there was always tremendous splits and disagreements between them upon the merits of various columns. Through them, and at times through the anguished screams of my editor, I was able to determine if 1 was coherent, and to the point. To my friends, I owe an enormous debt that 1 can never repay. It is probably that this column, written for a local college paper, will never be ranked high in journalistic standards. Yet for me, it was one of one that 1 the greatest experiences of my life hope will remain with me for the rest of my life. Through this artistic creation, 1 finally appreciated the beauties of the English language and the subtle shades of meaning that words possess. It is truly a thrill to create, to communicate, to produce a tangible reality from within your own mind. Of course, it is egotistic to believe that people want to read what you have to say; yet without an overgrown ego 1 would never have considered my thoughts worth to fifteen thousand people. repeating I again thank all of you, whether you agreed with me or not. I appreciated the fact you gave some of your time to me and I hope sincerely that it was rewarding in one way or another. Take care and have a good summer.

Most of us are hedonists, those who know are anarchists, and .those who don't are pessimists. In general, the Marxists shy away from American sensual pleasures, at least in public, because if you're a Marxist and are seen enjoying yourself too much, the others will think you've forgotten the suffering world. But them Marxists keep hammering away about the business of life, and in peeling off the musical artichoke, some rotten leaves of money will fall. And the heart of it all may be slightly closer to the contract than to the soul. The scene shifts from your eyes to the back 'of Clark Gym, Saturday night at the Herbie (I'm Herbie Hancock) Hancock concert. While the sun was slipping under the pollution for the evening, and the crowd filed into the athletic dungeon, the six musicians of Trigger Happy sat pulling up some weeds in nearby outer-space. They're a young band, some UB students, and playing on the bill with Weather Report, Good God and Handy Herbcock was a big break. They got all their equipment to the gym. They set up in the gym. And then they were told they weren't going to play. .. One less group It seems Cocky Handherb's agency manager hadn't told him that there were three bands to perform before him, and Cocky owned the sound system, and didn't want to start playing somewhere around 2 a.m. One band had to go, and Trigger Happy was unloaded before a shot was fired. Hancock didn't especially care for the feelings of the other musicians, and UUAB hid under the apron of their impotent amateurism. And the crowd couldn't give a shit, because that was one less group to sit through before the stars came out. In most cases an audience wouldn't mind hearing more music. But the audience had to put with a lot. Clark Gym isn't even well-suited for athletics, much less, music. It should properly be filled with some of our backward administrators and turned over to the bizarre fossil department. The heat and smoke were oppressive, it's acoustically unworkable and architecturally absurd. If they ever hold another concert there, nobody should be allowed to enter with their body (very few of them leave the same). They can check it at the door, and UUAB can pile all our heads on the hardwood floor, like a room filled with bowling balls. After all, they do charge by the head. Amazing keyboard —Salant And heading off the music was Good God. After them came Weather Report, and then Hurtin' Herbie. Each group had a funky drummer, Good God had the only electric guitar players, and I think they were the best ones there. Good God suffered the most from the acoustics. Weather Report the least, leaving Herbie in the middle. Weather Report got the loudest (standing) ovation. Good God the least. and Herbie once again takes the second, or next-to-last, position. Herbie played amazing keyboard, unless you don't like that sort of stuff, and Zawinal played amazing keyboard, unless you don't like that sort of stuff. Every time Wayne Shorter played a note I was impressed great tone and control. — Solos vs. interaction The bass player in Weather Report is no longer Miroslav; he was killed by a reactionary prostitute while freedom fighting in Yugoslavia, leaving room for a phenomenal young bass player, Alfonso Brown, whose name was lost in the roar. At one time he even played drums, while the percussionist played drums, and the drummer played drums that's three drummers at once. Let's see. Benny Maupin played with Herbie, who said he was inspired by Weather Report, 'cause they were unbelievable, and I've had occasion to hate them in the past. What Weather Report did was create or fake creating right on stage. None of this straight theme-solo-theme-solo-theme jazz shit (whoops!) that Herbie is still into. Their songs are built on interaction between the five members, and it worked. The songs went places constantly, unlike other sets I've seen them do. Herbie was inspired to great solos, and I suppose that's what his music is about so I'll leave — him alone. And thus in conclusion, we see that, while he may have very well understood the dialectic of business and pleasure, Chairman Mao would not have enjoyed this concert. y. y % �The Bedbug' Lackluster play, fine acting by Jerry Esposito Sp*cVum Arts Staff I can guarantee an entertaining evening at the Albright-Knox Art Gallery Auditorium.

The floating stone head reminds one of Swift's Laputan empire, and its purpose directly parallels The Wizard of Oz. From Lafferty s book was stolen the word 'puppet-master," referring to the invisible string which controls man's life. Only after the movie was released did Boorman write the novel, a word-for-word duplicate of the script. Perhaps this explains the incoherency in certain sequences of the movie. With the help of Gerry Johnson's special effects, Boorman attempted to capture the magnitude of 2001: A Space Odyssey. He fell far short. Although the potential depth was there, its fragmentaion made the film difficult to wade through. However, certain science fiction touches were excellent. Giant "baggies’' became greenhouses; an eerie, naked reverence surrounds the Vortex; and the musical jingle of erotic stimulation causes laughter. In apparent contradiction, this is a stupid movie which most audiences will despise, yet at the same time ponder over in awe. We lack the multi media techniques which would have justified this movie. Sean Connery may not have been a wise choice, although he is an aging male, glorified for his strength and physique as the ultimate James Bond. Who better to save the world? (If it's worth saving!) Zardoz should make good summer fare, especially as background noise in your favorite drive-in. For its own merit, it's as much worth seeing as the world is ready for salvation.

Closing out their season, it is playing at Studio Arena Theatre (SAT) through May 12th. As a child, I overheard a British friend of my Aunt (call the friend Mrs. Banther) criticise (British spelling), with grim seriousness. World War Two in these terms; "Not very nice, really. So untidy." As my schoolwork had acquainted me with some of the horrors of WWII, her remark left me dizzy with laughter. If you can't understand why Mrs. Banther's remark was funny, then you probably won't see what is funny about Noel Coward's writing. It is understated, timid (I won't say cowardly) humor that pokes as much fun at the style of speech and culture it adopts, as it does at the targets that culture attacks. Isolating the comic element of a situation with dry wit, it knocks you over with a complacently-stated blast. Its grammar seeks to put off for as long as possible mention of cultural taboos'by placing any unsavory words at the end of a sentence, and then moving quickly on to the next sentence with only, perhaps, the slightest lift of an eyebrow and, certainly, no pause and (horrors!) no italics.

Especially, I'd like to thank the publicity folks at the Buffalo Philharmonic, Albright Knox, Studio Arena, UB Theatre Department, UB Music Department, and Gallery 219. On behalf of The Spectrum and Prodigal Sun. I must acknowledge my hard-working staff, as well as the photo, graphic arts, and production staffs on the paper. A very warm thank-you goes to Contributing Editor Michael Silverblatt, whose reviews are always intelligent, graceful, witty and well, late. Professors Dwight Macdonald and Alan Spiegel are the instructors in the English Department whose many suggestions over the course of this semester have been inestimably helpful. No, Randi, I haven't forgotten about you. Assistant Arts Editor Randi Schnur wins this year's prize for being the most-abused and, at the same time, most conscientious member of the Arts staff. About now I'm getting a little worried as to whether or not Howie and Janis will let this esoteric section see print, so I would, at this time, like to thank Managing Editor Janis Cromer and Editor-in-Chief Howie Kurtz and wish them both the best of luck wherever their separate but cordial winds blow them. And that's about it. The Spectrum (and Prodigal Sun) will resume publication on a weekly basis in the summer after a few weeks' rest to recover from this semester's disasters. There's even been some talk about an independently-published Prodigal Sun in the fall. Stay tuned. . . . Friday, 3 May 1974 The Spectrum Page thirteen . . �I Our Weekly Reader The South Dakota Guidebook by Charles Baxter (New River* Press, $250 paper. $6.00 doth). In The South Dakota Guidebook, a fresh, restrained, interesting book of poetry. South Dakota is made of paper and its geography is strangely mental. "Slowly, and with infinite difficulty," the poet tries to explain "why snapshots of the mountains and cliffs are coming back blurred, looking like brain celts." Too much in this book comes back looking like brain cells, and that is the book's major problem; oddly enough, though, the book's self-consciousness accounts for its major successes. In the series titled "Indians," for example, the poet succeeds on many levels. On the first level, Baxter subverts the idea of poetry by and about Indians. The poems regard the Indian as a cluster of images having little to do with "Indians" (or "Indians"). The first poem describes them: "Ma says/ they have silver teeth/ long and pointed like forks./ If they smile,/ you keep your hands secret,/ hiding in the folds of your shirt// She says what skin they have/ is red, or white as a car./ You can't tell by color:/ they live in the dark, and eat stones ..." The series continues to describes the Indian biology ("Every Indian houses an animal/ in his body ..Indian customs and beliefs, until the last Indian, the poet, speaks: / don'tknow how I became one of them. You could look in my mother for that, and you would find paper, piles ofpaper Uttered with script. / was this old before I came to their councils. I m«s invited to hear mysteries. But they have not said a single word. At dawn, / get up and work. I don't starve, but / can explain nothing, and my hunger grows like a stain. This poem, the last in the series of eight, establishes the author as son of and prey to the unhappiness in his poems. His mother ("piles of paper, littered with script") is poetry. The first poem ("Ma Tells about Indians") then, is a description of poetry it- or her- self telling about her children: her images ("... they creep up,/ like needles on rubber,// in an ambush of absolute silence.") The poet himself becomes one of mother's images, a short line or like a door like a sock." It is totally imaginary. By the time Baxter gets around to questioning the "reality" of this construct (in a poem called "Barns," he asks "Does it ever occur to you/ that the barn is a prop?" ‘The barn is a prop but no one can fake/ cries of pain, can they?") the unreality of this South Dakota has not only occurred to the reader, the reader is bored with the notion. The book is too comfortably encased in its intentions. The epigraph is from Goncharov's Oblomov. It posits a poetic paucity in a certain fietive landscape, suggests some of the marvels which might have been there, which a poet would have looked for, but "no, there is nothing like that in our parts." Dead space gives birth to projected imagery which only attests to the failure of the original landscape and the failure of art to change the landscape. The last poem ends with a quote from Captain Scott's expedition journals. ‘We took risks/ we knew we took them/ things have come out against usII therefore we have no cause for complaint." The poems rest, perhaps too complacently, between these two self-assured quotations. In his first book of poetry. Chameleon (1970), Charles Baxter revealed a facility for metaphor that first surprised and finally dismayed the reader. The poetry deals with metamorphoses and camouflage. Unfortunately, although the individual images are often precise and shockingly adroit, each image quickly forms a cluster, hastens to become, well, chameleonic. There is something beguilingly arbitrary about the rapid transformations of imagery and style, but this arbitrariness itself becomes exhausting. The poet is trying to play too virtuosic a hand and, after fancy shuffles and clever fannings of the cards preenings really it he loses every deal. Metaphor becomes too playful can go anywhere. In his "Alice" poems (a series investigating a new Wonderland), the poet leads Alice along too many gappy imaginative synapses; the poems fold limply back into their unrestricted and unrestraining shaped "like a balloon of that litter-script. The stain of his hunger grows up backwards through the earlier poems. On second reading, despairs of its the series so imaginative at first imagination. The Indians are false but the hunger is real. The complex of intentions in these poems, when it is apparent, makes the poetry more resonant. The poetry itself, before interpretation, moves through a rich imaginative space. In other words, the self-consciousness need not be apparent for the poetry to be enjoyed or admired. The book, divided into four sections, makes extraordinary use of these metaphorical figures for creation and for the most part the poetry stands on its own. In the fourth section, however, 'The South Dakota Guidebook" section itself, Baxter insists on his convolution as the subject of the poetry. Charles Baxter writes about the location, of South Dakota, its shape, its rivers, its mountains, its* proverbs, its farmhouses and barns, and finally its empty space and its interior. But he never takes the poems to South Dakota. South Dakota is two — — — — — premises. In The South Dakota Guidebook, Baxter displays enormous growth in sensibility. He has learned to marshal metaphor along logical tracks. The poems still surprise; when they reveal unexpected richness they are alarmingly original. One poem, "Porcedures," requires special reading. It is powerful and probably should be anthologized. When the poem leans too heavily, self-consciously and self-assuredly on their intellectual sub-structure, though, the poetry becomes arch and rather dull. Charles Baxter has an individual voice and a unique style. His emergence as a major poet in coming years will not be surprising. -Michael Silverblatt I The New Super-Receivers The Kenwood 4400 25 RMS watts per channel, both channels driven from 20 to 20,000 Hz into 8 ohms Distortion; 0.5% Harmonic, 0.5% IM IHF Sensitivity: 2.1 uV FM Signal to Noise Ratio: 65 db - - - - Tech Hifi and Kenwood join in presenting Kenwood's new Super-Receivers to Upstate New York.

Series scheduling is a tedious ritual, punctuated by frequent misjudgments. The television moguls have used very little insight in many of their selections in the past. Again this year, series have been dropped at whim, and this season has seen the most casualties of any in recent memory. that next year will see a major just possible But it's possible improvement. NBC has finally seen fit to chop The Dean Martin Show along with The Girt With Something Extra, which, although the ratings weren't too bad, suffered from lack of script and overall stupidity the diseases of all too many sit-coms. The cops-and-robbers syndrome has faded, thank God; except for a handful of decent productions (Police Story, Colombo Kojak and The Streets of San Francisco to name a few), the violence in TV is on the way out. And no longer will the viewer be assaulted with hours and hours of daily bloodletting flowing out of his Magnavox. The networks have put their detective shows together on a few nights, so as not to botch up the screen seven nights a week. Simplicity and honesty are now on the way in (witness The Waltons ). Replacing Sonny and Cher from 8 to 9 on Wednesday nights will be Little House on the Prairie. Michael Landon (producer, director, and star) is toning down images from his Ponderosa days with these portrayals of simple and real people, showing how the early West affected them and their lives. Take away the Depression, insert the early West, and you have the difference between The Waltons and this show. Specials, World Premieres and the "heavier" leaning toward lighter and simpler productions may lead to a fruitful TV season for the first time in years. Sit-ooms will come and go as usual, and shows geared to the mind of a cow will pop up on our screens from time to time. And television still has a lot of questions to answer. Why, for instance, was David Hartman's great production of the first televised human shown at 1:00 in the morning, while Mannix and Kojak are available to the kiddies during the early evening? Somewhere a redefinition of values is sorely needed. Slowly (and hopefully), television is turning a corner. Producers are actually starting to think about their viewers' tastes, and they’re doing something about it. This, however, is not to say that TV has finally changed for the better. Changed, definitely. Better? Only this -H.R. fall will tell for sure. — — - "In my world, proclaims the little girl with the huge, glowing eyes, nothing would be what it is, because everything would be what it isn't.

' ' ' , When I turned the channel to ABC Tuesday at 8:30,1 knew there was only one chance in a thousand that this made-for-TV pilot movie would be any good. After flunking out with Genesis //, Gene Roddenberry took the same basic plot (modern man is lost in time, then found in the 22nd century) and named this rehash Planet Earth.. This world is more of a Tower of Babel than a Garden of Eden, with a civilization split into many levels from a model of ancient Rome to dinosaur-fighting cavemen. Pax, the most advanced culture, operates under the banner of Mission Mankind its goal: to find a better civilization. Our hero Dilan Hunt (portrayed by John Saxon) finds a fantastic society of Amaions, a community dominated by females where Women's Lib has gone wild. I can only guess as to how the male populous reacted, but speaking for the women of the world, I was fascinated by the idea. Imagine a race where women are supreme, using the male Oinks as serfs. These docile Dinks, drugged by an extract, have to keep their eyes lowered and their mouths shut, and submit to their mistresses' pleasures. Although the love scenes were ridiculous, the show became better as it grew more stupid. Most of the cast overacted a bit, with the female lead, Diana Muldaur, appearing as an insipid, sickly-sweet girl. Because of its soap-opera tendencies, the basic premise of Planet Earth is almost on the level of Starlost. My stomach turned when Roddenberry stole old Star Trek ideas, such as an empathetic mind link in the Spockian tradition or a running log of adventures narrated by the main character. Majel Barrett even made a quickie appearance, perhaps to bless her husband's show. The incidental plots were petty and needless, while we can blame the music on Harry Sukman. My suggestion is to throw out the regular cast and plot, but retain the guest stars (who did a good job), then base the series on these Women of Ruth. It would make an amusing show, giving females a —E.K. chance to laugh at their Dinks. — — successfully as the half-drowned Sorcerer's Apprentice featured in the film) Alice seems to be appealing to the same audiences for the same general reasons. The colors are bright and sometimes quite beautiful, the fantastic images which we expect of a Wonderland are there by the dozens and, like the earlier film, it is said to be incredible to trip - — to. Buffalo audiences don't seem to have found all this out yet; last Thursday night, the crowd at the Boulevard Mall Cinema numbered about seven. Or maybe they already know that Alice is less original and much more insipid than Fantasia, and hasn't got the added benefits of Leopold Stokowski s terrific music although the March Hare's and Mad Hatter's rendition of "A Very Merry Un-Birthday" is worth a listen. In spite of its problems and even though Walt Disney himself called it his least favorite film (and I ask you, who else are we to trust?) the whole loaf of bread-and-butter-flies, the Mad Hatter who sounds suspiciously like Ed Wynn, and all the other residents of Alice's private world really are a lot of fun to watch . .. and the message is only there if you insist on it. — — But curiosity rules her quite unchallenged, and the liquid disappears as quickly as did her scruples. We are never told whether the singing flowers, the animals serving as croquet equipment for the Queen of Hearts, or any of the other odd creatures dancing around the girl have anything to do with that mysterious liquid or the cakes which go down after it but the implications are clear enough. These particular suggestions apparently didn't go over too well with the good citizens who allowed the cartoon version of Alice in Wonderland to become a box-office failure after its first release in 1951. Neither were they appreciated by producer Walt Disney, who (according to a recent New York Times article) called Lewis Carroll s creations "weird characters who had an appeal to the intellect without anything to appeal to the — ' emotions. when Alice briefly at last summer s Lincoln Center Disney Film Retrospective, thousands of people rushed out to fight for tickets to performances that almost sold out always hardly an immediately and the unemotional experience dash for major theater bookings However, reappeared — — was on — -R.L.S SHARE THE RUE WITH US THIS VACATION AND GET ON TO A GOOD THING.

Unfortunately, many of the markets for used equipment hold significant drawbacks. For instance, buying used equipment from a friend is convenient, but may strain a relationship .if there is price haggling or if defects show up after the purchase. Second-hand stores and pawnshops may seem like wise places to shop, but in actuality they are often overpriced, in addition, some second-hand stores are small-time fences for local burglars. In larger cities, the police department regularly holds auctions for unclaimed property, sometimes including sound equipment. The bids on most merchandise are rather low and there are occasionally some bargains to be had, but you have no way of ascertaining the true condition of the items. Furthermore, they are not generally stored under very favorable conditions. The two soundest ways to shop for used audio equipment are 1) through classified ads in newspapers and swap sheets, and 2) at retail hi-fi dealers who sell used equipment. There are a variety of people who use classified ads to sell audio components. Some are hobbyists who buy and sell regularly. Some are small dealers working out of their own homes who have no other way of reaching the public. Most are ordinary people who are pressed for cash or who have recently upgraded their sound systems and would like to unload their old equipment There are also some people who use the I kY3- and refuses to cooperate in the event of some problem, don't be afraid to go to Small Claims Court. If you've got the goods on a merchant, you'll usually win. Moreover, many cases are settled out-of-court after a merchant receives his summons. Whereas most private individuals will allow you to test out equipment before you agree to buy, retail dealers and salesmen are usually unable to spend that much time with a customer on any but the most expensive items. Therefore, test out your purchase thoroughly as soon as you get it home. Return it promptly if it should prove defective. If possible, pay by check. *rK Settling on a price There is no clear way to ascertain what a reasonable price for any used audio equipment should be. The asking or selling price for a used component depends more on who is buying and who is selling than any other factor. Some people will charge whatever they think they can get and others will pay whatever is charged them. It is not uncommon to see people paying close to the full discount price for a battered pair of ten-year-old speaker systems at high-priced audio "salons." What you should keep in mind in establishing a price for a used component are the points you are giving up by not buying a new product: A. "Newness," for whatever you think it's worth; B. Dealer niceties, for whatever they might mean to you; C. The warranty, unless it's transferable (it rarely is); 0. Any advances offered by newer equipment. And you are accepting the burden of: E. X years of wear; F. Any latent defects; G. Any physical damage, i.e., scratches, dents, etc. tree ads in swap sheets continuously in an attempt to sell worthless junk. The best way for you to assess whom you are dealing with is to call and ask several questions not answered in the ad. A significant advantage of buying used equipment for a retail audio dealer is that nearly any dealer will guarantee his used components for some reasonable period of time, usually thirty days. There is one serious shortcoming in this regard: many dealers are chronically unable to hear or see defects that are quite apparent to their customers. For this reason you must choose dealers carefully and demand a guarantee providing for a refund if the component will not function to your satisfaction. If your dealer makes such an agreement (in writing) r miss m Further more you must assume that for optimum performance you may have to: H. Replace the stylus, or more likely the stylus and cartridge in a turntable if they are worn, or an outmoded design; I. Replace part or all of the tube complement in any tube-type component. All of these points should illustrate that except in the case of truly superior discontinued designs, such as the Marantz 10B tuner or the Futterman amplifiers (see photo), used components should'see at very significant reductions. One final note: don't be afraid to haggle. Private sellers will usually accept more than a small cut if a sale is at hand. So will dealers, especially those who charge inflated prices for used components. Dealers usually take a comfortable profit on used equipment (if it’s sold, that is) because they receive it on trade-in and offer only small trade-in allowances. - • ALSO A FILM - Bluaa accordin' to Lightin' Hopklnt Conference Theatre Films May r - THE TRIPLE ( WINNER IS , 3 —Mnr York Film Critic*, 1970 BCST/KTUKOFTHEXHH BtSi OtRt&WR Wjfcwwt BESTSUmRWBKTRESS M IgP; Jfcf ••'ft M/Vff0llCf flfMaK 4St m l*Si 'S'Mi £ nvEEJHsypiECES KAREN BLACK ~SUSAN ANSPACH ***adrknx)yct .— ADRItNJOYCt WICHSiFH -.— Mi.aoaiumsoN •-...aoa rafclson- BOB RAFtLSON-RICHARO HfHI SCHHfUXH «ho«>|»j • "^~] BUFFALO LAW REVIEW are now on sale in the University Bookstore & J.L.O'B.

Sudden death by Dave Geringer When everything looks gloomy, have no fear, wise men will arise and lead everyone onward. This year’s edition of the wise men is the “coalition.” These distinguished ladies and gentlemen have taken upon themselves what many other people, at various times, have attempted the responsibility for cutting the athletic budget. The “coalition” must have worked long and hard in preparing their proposed budget reductions, which are expected to be presented at Monday’s Student Assembly meeting. They discounted the recommendation of the SA Finance Committee, whose long and painstaking hours in compiling their proposed budget apparently amounted to nothing. As the “coalition” has obviously shown, it is far better to base budget decisions on momentary whims or the sound of numbers, rather than reading and rereading requests. A glance at the'coalition’s budget reveals the amount of work that obviously wept into their proposal. It calls for various cuts, in amounts such as $4000 and $5000. It is apparent that the “coalition” must have deliberated for a long time, perhaps several seconds, while arriving at such a precise figure. Their hard work is to be commended. The “Coalition” also called for cuts in amounts such as $5323.39 and $8163.67 from the athletic budget. These figures also took a great deal of time to reach, almost as much time as it takes to read the Finance Committee’s proposed recommendations and. recopy them. The amounts are the exact budgets for several intercollegiate sports, and reduction of the athletic budget by the proposed amounts would be tantamount to dropping these sports. Many hours of needless working and reworking of budgets can undoubtedly be saved in the future. A group of “coalitions” can be formed, budgets can be decided, and everyone can go home in an hour ' and a half. Perhaps the “coalition,” which has apparently decided that these sports do not serve enough students, can be persuaded to donate another few seconds of their time in setting up an arbitrary number of students which any funded program must serve. Any program, regardless of its content, would be terminated if it did not serve, for example, 3000 students. This would enable the SA to save most of its yearly allocation, which could then be passed on to the “coalition” as a reward for their fine service. Thus, the student body will be rid of many intercollegiate sports which Obviously have no value. However, the “coalition” will surely be able to solve this minor problem. Perhaps the various members of the “coalition” could organize teams in fencing, crew, cross country, track, swimming, golf and tennis. Rotary Field could experience a standing-room-only crowd to watch the CAC Clowns face the WNYP1RG Whips. Perhaps this could be extended further. Why should the basketball team {day Syracuse when they could save money by playing an intramural squad? The hockey team could drop opponents such as St. Lawrence and Ohio State, drawing a sellout crowd to Holiday Twin Rinks to watch them take on the “coalition” all-stars. The wrestling team could be disbanded and split into two squads, with intra-squad matches at Clark Hall rather than Buffalo-Maryland. The baseball Bulls could add local power to St. Mary’s School x for the Deaf instead of wasting money flying to New York. Who cares what the tournament committee says? Tournament? So what? Far better to fund another research project! The absurd proposals made by the “coalition” will be discussed and perhaps passed at Monday’s Student Assembly meeting, unless students decide that this is not the way they want future budgets decided. If the students remain apathetic, any future power destined for student governments at this University may be en route to oblivion. - Buffalo Bulls oust Knights; *an easy team’beams pitcher ,> The Geneseo Blue Knights made their annual attempt at providing competition for the baseball Bulls last Tuesday at Peelle Field, they failed for the second consecutive year, due almost totally to overpowering Buffalo pitching. Four Bulls hurlers fanned twenty-one Knights as Buffalo triumphed, 5-1. The 21 strikeouts tied a Bull record set against last year’s Geneseo powerhouse by Jim Riedel. Starting pitcher Jim Niewczyk recorded fourteen of his eighteen outs (six innings) via strikeouts. Niewczyk also picked off two Knights, and left fielder Johp Kidd’s grab of a pop fly was the only outfield putout registered during Niewczyk’s stint. “It was an easy team,” agreed Niewczyk. “I’m just getting back in shape after my sore ankle. I had to sit out a couple of days (with the injury), and I wasn’t in shape,” Niewczyk added. Non-pressure game Mike Dean and John Atti followed Niewczyk and recorded two strikeouts each in an inning of Bulls work, labile Tim Calhoon fanned the side in the ninth. “We needed a game like this,” commented Bull coach Bill Monkarsh. “We’ve had a lot of pressure games. This kind of game gives us a chance to let everyone play, which we can’t do all the time,” continued Monkarsh. The Bulls tied another record, stealing six bases in the contest, with shortstop Jim Lalayanis setting a new game standard with three. The Bulls have perfected their running game this season, and have used it effectively to score runs when the hitting has not been there. The Bulls (16-9-1 before yesterday’s Brockport doubleheader) face Canisius this afternoon at Delaware Park. Mike Dean is expected to start for Buffalo, while the Griffins will probably counter with Bill Leonard, who has hurled consecutive two-hitters in his last two starts. Niewczyk and Bill Lasky will probably work Sunday’s doubleheader at Ithaca, with Riedel and John Buszka pitching in the all-important twinbill against District II defending champ Penn State May 8 at Peelle Field. tomeet Canisius Canisius College scheduled a press conference at the Statler-Hilton Hotel this morning to announce that they would face both the State University of Buffalo and Buffalo State in basketball next season. The Bulls have not met Canisius since the 19S3-S4 season, but were scheduled to be in the tournament field for Canisius’ Queen City Classic in December. The Queen City tourney was discontinued recently, and Canisius will fill one of two spots left vacant on the Buffalo slate by the tournament’s absence.

When inclement weather threatened the St. John Fisher match, it was transferred indoors to the Buffalo Tennis Club. The courts had to be rented, so to conserve time, warm-ups were shortened and the match was played using pro-sets (eight games win the set and match). The Bulls started like a house afire and the weak Cardinal squad was no match for Buffalo. Second singles player Paul Parelli was overpowering, losing only three points en route to a 8-0 victory. Bull captain Rich Abbott did not lose a point until the fifth game of his match. Buffalo coach Norm Baschnagel remarked, “1 would like to have started against them (St. John Fisher) instead of going [Colgate]. This [the 8-1 win] builds the team’s confidence.” With the weather in the 60’s, the Bulls finally moved outdoors against Canisius. The Griffins, who had hopes of winning prior to the encounter, were beaten soundly. Abbott, playing first singles, defeated Rick Infanti, 6-2, 6-2. “He [Infanti] had trouble with his serve,” said Canisius coach Terry McMahon. “Rich Abbott is very steady. You’ve got to play that way against him.” Infanti regained his serve in doubles competition to contribute to Canisius’ only win of the day. Buffalo’s third doubles team of Jerry Cohen and Lonnie Keller pulled off the only shutout of the match, as they overwhelmed opponents Peter Shields and Heidi Voss. with Baschnagel pleased was Buffalo’s performance. “As a team, it’s one of our best efforts,” he said. The Bulls, now 2-1, travel to Ithaca on Sunday to conclude their spring season.

Mr. Ehrlichman suggested blaming it on Mr. Dean’s failure to complete his report, and the President agreed.

The transcripts were released yesterday as Mr. Nixon went public with his impeachment defense, dramatically announcing on national television Monday night that he would allow the Committee’s Judiciary House chairman, Peter Rodino Jr. (D., NJ.) and ranking Republican, Edward Hutchinson (R., Mich.), to listen to the actual tapes to verify that the transcripts were both accurate and did not exclude any relevant material (the all President said that —continued on page 4— May Day Bom out of struggle for workers’ rights by Paul Krehbld Spectrum Staff Writer May Day was bom on May 1,1886, in Chicago, out of the struggle few the eight-hour work day. It was a time of the 12- and 16-hour work day, accompanied by low wages and poor working conditions. During the economic crises of 1873 and 1884, the people suffered wage-cuts, lay-offs and evictions. The vast urban slums were crowded and disease-ridden, and thousands waited in bread lines to ward off starvation. Amid these horrible conditions, the people fought for their survival with demonstrations, rallies, widespread strikes and the formation of labor organizations. One such organization was the International Working People’s Association. Albert Parsons, August Spies and others from this organization, helped found the Chicago Eight-Hour League in 1883 to wage an all-out fight for the shortened work day. By 1885, the movement for the eight-hour day had swept the country. However, few employers granted the shorter work-day and labor organizations set May 1,1886 as the day for a nation-wide strike. Support mounts The eight-hour day had embedded itself in the minds of the American workers. Meetings, resolutions, parades and conferences multiplied as May 1st neared. Richard O. Boyer and Herbert M. Morais, in Labor’s Untold Story report: “All through March and April tension rose, like a thermometer in the sun, as daily additional thousands were reported in the Chicago newspapers as pledging to strike May 1st.” Chicago labor held two large and militant organizing meetings; the first a Knights of Labor rally on April 17 with 7000 inside the Cavalry Armory and 14,000 outside; the second on April 25, when Parsons and Spies addressed 25,000 people. When May 1 arrived, everything in Chicago was shut down. The Chicago Matt estimated that 80,000 workers in Chicago had struck for the eight-hour day, and some 340,000 workers were marching all over the country, In Chicago, the workers and their families assembled for a march down Michigan Street to the waterfront. Pinkertons, militia and police were on side streets and rooftops. In the State Armory, 1350 National Guardsmen were mobilized with Gatling guns. , Haymarket not Parsons, Spies and others spoke at the rally, and when over, the crowd dispersed. Everything was peaceful. Within two days, thousands were granted the eight-hour day. But at the McCormick Harvester Works, the workers were locked out, and the police were escorting in scabs. Fighting broke out, and the police opened fire, killing six workers. A meeting was called for the next evening in Haymarket Square to protest these killings. Parsons and Spies had already addressed the crowd and had left, while Sam Fielden, another member of the Working People’s Association continued to speak to the remaining crowd. Suddenly, down the street came 180 police with clubs and arms. was ordered to disperse the crowd. There was the sound of running feet, and then a bomb was thrown into the police ranks. Chaos broke out, with people running, and police shooting into the crowd. Eight police were killed and scores of workers wounded. Fielden Repression spread The newspapers went wild. Boyer and Morais, in the aforementioned book said: “The nation’s press was a unit in declaring that it made no difference whether Parson’s, Spies or Fielden had —continued on pago 8— Trustees say Ketter can use student fees for health care j After weeks of legalistic interpretations and bureaucratic snafus, the SUNY Board of Trustees has allowed President Robert Ketter to permit student fees to be used for health care services on this campus. The Trustees met last weekend in New York City, where they informally discussed the health care issue, and after discussions with them Dr. Ketter Monday sent a letter to University administrators instructing them to authorize the use of student fees for Sub-Board health services. Dr. Ketter wrote that student fees could be used “at the level and for the purposes heretofore approved” meaning that health ventures already in operation could receive funding, but new health services such as the proposed pharmacy would require further — - — approval. Existing services OK The Trustees also instructed Tom Mou, a high-level SUNY official responsible for health operations, to compile a report on the type, extent and funding source for health care operations on all State University campuses. This report, expected during the summer, could conceivably advise against using student fees for health services, but in light of the Trustees’ action, no one seemed to think it would. Dr. Ketter even expressed the hope that “I would like to see the State begin to fund health services.” The health operations affected by President Ketter’s order include the Birth Control Clinic, clinical laboratory, pregnancy counseling, and administrative and educational programs of Sub-Board’s health care division. A1 Campagna, Health Care division director, was very pleased by the decision and even speculated that “there is a possibility of lowering prices” now that student fees can again be tapped. Sub-Board’s health operations have been operating on a “revolving account,” which technically does not involve student fees, since expenditures by the Birth Control Clinic were vetoed in March by vice-president for Student Affairs Anthony Lorenzetti. The Birth Control Clinic has been forced to raise prices because of this veto. Dr. Lorenzetti questioned whether the Clinic was a proper expenditure of student fees and the entire health care controversy resulted. When asked what yet-unfunded health ventures would require new Administration approval, Dr. Ketter mentioned an X-ray unit and preventative health maintenance operation which have been proposed, along with a Sub-Board pharmacy. “We have to look at new ventures very carefully in view of the State’s scrutiny of health care operations,” Dr. Ketter explained. Dr. Lorenzetti said he was “very pleased” by the Trustees’ decision to “consider the question of health care as a whole.” Mr. Campagna said he hoped students would have input into Dr. Mou’s study for the Trustees on SUNY health operations. “I hope Mou’s report will not change the situation any," said Mr. Campagna. Fail within the guidelines In the midst of the controversy, Dr. Ketter had received a letter from SUNY legal counsel Walter Relihan which was basically negative in tone, advising that while allowing fees to be used for health care was “not beyond the pale of presidential discretion,’’ it was inadvisable and the University might face legal repercussions from a possible lawsuit. Feeling he could not act without firm support from Albany, Dr. Ketter ruled that student fees could not be used for health services but promised to take the issue to the Board of Trustees, to persuade them to amend their fee guidelines to include health care. Dr. Ketter has been informed that as a result of the Trustees’ discussion last week, he will now receive another letter from Mr. Relihan which will supercede the first. “In essence, the Trustees by this action have defined (for the present) that expenditures for health care delivery can be reasonably presumed to fall . within the [fee] Guidelines currently in existence,” wrote Dr. Ketter in his letter allowing student fees to fund existing health services once again. �Patient ignorance and physician deterrriinism, resulting from elitism in the medical profession, was also a problem. Analyzing the question of care and the decisions involved, Dr. Duff declared: “Patients, families and physicians must decide which treatment is appropriate for a patient. We cannot impose a comfortable but inappropriate morality, fostered by specialists, which states that we must keep a patient alive at all costs.” of from the emphasis on specialization and scientification In deciding treatment, Dr. Duff continued, the rights the medical profession. “With the shift in emphasis to of the-patient and the patient’s family must be taken into specialization and the development of the physician as a account. He pointed-to cases where patients were not given scientist rather than a clinician, a concentration of both a choice in deciding treatment and the families of these power and money resulted,” he said. patients were destroyed by the financial and emotional Either researchers became isolated from medical pressures created by the illness. In every instance, the schools and hospitals or became the center around which physician acted alone, without conferring with the patient medical care revolved. The responsibility of the physician or family, in deciding to pursue a long and drawn-out shifted from* the treatment of the individual to the process in an almost hopeless situation. treatment of a specific and particular condition,” Dr. Duff explained. Society responsibility As early as the mid-1930’s, the effects of this ideology Dr. Duff also placed responsibility on society, asking: were being felt. Dr. Duff cited the writings of a physician Which options of treatment should society permit? Should lost the of the time who said the medical profession had allow those consigned to the grave to become essence of the Hippocratic Oath. “There is a need for vast it creatures, or should it give the physician the experimental improvement in the medical profession due to malpractice to decide that death is the best treatment after authority which stems from a technology which features the failure the prognosis, the feelings of the carefully considering to treat the whole man.” and the family possible effects of death on the family?

He cited a manual which Duff.

It includes the an essential of life, while it mentions theory of choice death the end of life. Raymond Duff, associate professor at Yale Medical School, was invited to the State University of Buffalo, Friday, to speak on “Some Ethical Problems in Modem Medicine.” Sponsored by the School of Medicine and the Protestant Campus Ministry of Western New York United Ministries in Higher Education, Dr. Duffs lecture consisted of a reading and discussion of an article he co-authored with Dr. A.G.M. Campbell of Aberdeen, Scotland. The article appeared in the New England Journal of Medicine and argued that in certain instances, the congenitally defective infant should not automatically be kept alive by an intensive care unit, and that life-or-death decisions should be made by parents and hospital staffs. — - Independent ideas Dr. Duff emphasized that his ideas and theories in no way reflected the philosophy of Yale Medical School or the Yale New Haven Hospital. The first part of the lecture traced the development of the medical profession “personality,” emphasizing the relationship b dwecn medical technology and medical morality i nthe United States today. The modem American medical ethic can be expressed his statement: “Death is the enemy of modern by medicine. The erasing of disease is the aim of modern medicine. As the bomb conquered the enemy in World War II, so must medical technology seek to destroy disease.” Medicine is now divorced from social context, Dr. Duff implied. The result: “Every cure is a half-cure. We keep people functioning satisfactorily, but some exist as %olely biologically functioning organisms without much else.” Ethic emerges The emergence of this ethic, explained Dr. Duff, stems alive with advances in medical technology. into research while programs to expand was poured Money health care were disregarded. Medical advancements were likened to such achievements as the moon landing and the development of nuclear power. At the same time, medical treatment suffered. Such phrases as “the poor provide the clinical material for medical education” reflected the status of American me dical care. The result of these movements, said Dr. Duff, is the inability of the new practitioners to deal with the increasing number of the old and dying. Unlike their predecessors, these doctors had to be concerned with the maintainence of a public image and the advancement of technology al ong with patient care. to k eep them Newspaper btU .... he added There has been a great deal of lobbying against the bill by school newspapers and student governments. At Oswego State College, the Faculty-Senate urged defeat of the bill and students sent around 300 letters to State Senators. Letters to The Spectrum from Buffalo legislators also demonstrated opposition to the bill. “Certainly the Marchi bill is no remedy for an isolated instance of very bad judgement,” asserted State Senator James T. McFarland of Buffalo’s 59th legislative district. State Assemblyman John J. LaFalce of the 140th district emphasized; "Not only will I vote against the bill, but I will do all in my power to kill it in Await response The Student Association of the committee.” State University (SASU) will not take any action until it receives Limit fees Meanwhile, a second bill has word of Senator Marchi’s response been introduced in the Senate to CUNY’s proposals, according Senia. to SASU media director A1 Finance Committee, chaired by Marchi, which would Senator “Our staff thinks it will pass in curtail use of mandatory severely and to the House go the Senate student fees on all State Committee activities Rules chaired by Perry maintained.

WITHOUT AN APPOINTMENT!!! �Budget delays Adjournment ofSA meeting allows new members to vote (BSU), Community Action Corps (CAC), WNYPIRG, and the Jewish Student Union (JSU) among others. by Jeffrey S. Linder Contributing Editor Impeaci The issue of budget priorities was left unresolved Monday because a Student Judiciary (SJ) restraining order prevented debate on the Student Association (SA) budget. As bickering between certain Student Assembly members and the coalition of interest groups continued, the Assembly voted, for the first time in two weeks, to adjourn. The recesses at the past three meetings have prevented 21 new members, who have petitioned to join the Assembly, from voting on the proposed SA budget. The immediate effect of Monday’s adjournment will be to include these 21 new voting members. Originally the restraining order, brought by Assemblyperson Gary Schwartz, was to have ended on Sunday. Its goal was to prevent voting on the budget until SA published an audit of its past spending. The Student Judiciary Sunday denied a request by the defense to dismiss the case. New evidence had come to light and it was felt that there was enough evidence to pursue the litigation, explained WNYPIRG counsel Jack Finnerty. The Judiciary extended the restraining order on passing SA budgets for three days; it will end tonight at 8 p.m. ment Abuse of power seen as threat to free state by Michael O’Neill National Editor and will abuse power unless something is done now,” said Mr. Glasser. “Excessive use of power per se is a violation of rights because rights are limits upon power. By definition a President with unlimited powers wipes out the whole concept of rights.” There are many facets to the question of impeachment, but the ones directly relating to civil liberties are being focused on by Ira Glasser, executive director of the New York Civil Liberties Union. The drive to impeach Richard Nixon has slowly gained momentum, but, Mr. Glasser recalled, “When the drive for impeachment began last September, it was a radical step forward. Few can remember how afraid we were to touch it.” The presentation of the Civil Liberties Union approach to the question of impeachment followed a year-end report Sunday night on the various projects conducted by local task forces in Buffalo and Western New "York. An award for distinguished service was presented to Dorothy Shields, a secretary to State Senator Arthur Eve, for the legislator’s service to both thd community and the cause of civil liberties. Defense of abuses He listed a series of Presidential abuse, carefully explaining how each transgression was defended. “The invasion of Cambogia Nixon did it in sepret; the Constitution said it couldn’t be done that way. The PftSidftft said he had the right because of national security. The May Day demonstrations ia Washington: 13,000 demonstrators were put in jail, herded into stadiums (a full — year-and-a-half before Chile) [was justified by evoking] the Doctrine of Qualified Material Law, which no one had ever heard of before or after. The break-in at the office of Daniel Ellsberg’s psychiatrist (was defended] along the lines of national security.” These precedents are dangerous ones, added Mr. Glasser. “There is something necessarily antagonistic between power and liberty,” explained Mr. Glasser. From the viewpoint of a civil libertarian, the threat of Presidential usurpation of power presents an extremely dangerous threat to the future of a free state. Valuable lesson Referring to the threat of impeachment as a “lesson for all Lack of shame Mr. Glasser, whose speech was Presidents that follow Richard vaguely reminiscent at times of a Nixon,” Mr. Glasser said: “We Allen night club have the opportunity to vote once Woody performance, lambasted President again whether the Bill of Rights Nixon: “1 think there’s something will be included in the special about Richard Nixon.

They have placed justified it because it was a case of their emphasis on encouraging to -write their emergency, and treated their voters transgressions almost Representatives: “Just say what you think of the whole mess and apologetically.” “Richard Nixon does not be sure to add that you’ll matter; the issue is all those who remember the issue when you go will come after Richard Nixon to the polls.” New evidence An SA spokesman said that the new evidence brought to light is a group of REP (requisition) forms. These forms must be completed for any expense by a student-funded group, and require the signatures of the SA Treasurer and someone from the Administration. It is not yet known what these REP forms may reveal or what impact they will have on the budget proceedings. It is generally agreed that they may contain potentially explosive information. SA Treasurer Sal Napoli commented: “We were Of a ftat thar the A»e»ihlyvwpuld recessing be stacked. We were being accused of trying to keep people from joining the Assembly,” he continued. “We just want to go on with legislation.” Mr. Napoli agreed that the inclusion of the new members wil) “have an effect that will show up” when the Assembly finally votes on the budgets. However, SA President Frank Jackalone feels that the only effect the new members will have on the Assembly is that there will be an opportunity to pass a budget. “I don’t think it will be stacked and the inclusion of the new members will have a marginal effect on the outcome of the budget vote,” noted Mr. Jackalone. Priorities questioned The dispute arose out of arguments concerning SA spending priorities. A statement by the Community/University Coalition in last Friday’s The Spectrum stated: “We feel that all these ogranizations [Health Care, Day Care, Legal Aid, WNYP1RG, CAC, minority student groups, etc.] are supported by and give service to many more students than the organizations in the Athletic Department, and thus Observe to be given a much higher priority in the SA budget allocations.” SA claims that a number of problems including more clubs, the loss of a reserve fund, a debt from past years and an inflationary spiral arose in this year’s budget that prevented many sectors from receiving the allocations they sought. Student Association’s statement to The Spectrum emphasized this strain on student funds. The nature of the budgetary dispute remains vague. Some term it “racial” while others contend that it is nothing of the sort. According to one student at Monday’s Assembly meeting, it is a confrontation between the SA Executive and Finance Committees versus the coalition of interest groups and minority students. However, Mr. Napoli explained that SA is not “against” the coalition. “I think that a lot of their notions are valid,” he said. The coalition includes the Black Student Union Tactics successful Paul Mones, former WNYPIRG director, is convinced that “pressure tactics paid off’ by getting the Assembly to adjourn instead of recess Moriday’s meeting. ‘There is a multi-coordinated effort by the and it’s the first time that blacks and coalition whites have gotten together on this campus to demand changes,” Mr. Mones claimed. “People have definitely changed their minds and modds. We’ve won an important definitely changed their minds and moods. We’ve won an important them before.” Assemblyperson David Ettingcr helped file a class action for a declaratory judgment at the Student Judiciary because the Assembly had recessed its meeting three times. According to Robert’s Rules of Order, he argued, there should have been an adjournment. Mr. Ettinger explained the reason for Monday’s adjournment: “I think it [the case] scared them. They didn’t want to get involved in two cases, so they gave in,” referring to his case and the extended restraining order involving the audit. “This is a major victory,” declared CAC director David Chavis. ‘This will bring everything out into the open, leaving the final decision to the Assembly. ... It will probably help us by giving us slightly more representation on the Assembly,” Mr. Chavis continued. “Previously the Assembly was not representative of students. Now a preferred budget will go through.” - - Going overboard One of the new members who will be able to vote for the first time at the next Assembly meeting, Tom Devine, said that he felt the coalition was going a “bit overboard.” He explained: “It happens all the time in politics. A group will ask for more than it expects so as to get as much as possible.” The coalition will be presenting an alternative budget at the next Assembly meeting which would cut over $40,000 from the athletic budget and would eliminate crew, cross country, fencing, golf, swimming, tennis and track. It would also cut the budget for spring baseball and promotion for the gym. The budget that will be proposed will also —continued on pag* 5— Wednesday, 1 May 1974 The Spectrum Page three . . �Transcripts show..

The next graduate admission test is Commentary *Reasonable doubt and weak case acquits Mitchell Stans 9 , by Marc Jacobson City Editor The acquittal of two former Cabinet members, Maurice Stans and John Mitchell, on charges of IS counts of obstruction of justice, perjury and conspiracy is understandable but unfortunate. Through able defense lawyers, the two men avoided lengthy jail sentences and fines. Their lawyers proved there was “a reasonable doubt” that they committed the crimes of which they were accused. Mr. Mitchell’s comment; “We got to the jury system, and that always works. Our fate was resting with a very fine jury a cross-section of Americans," illuminates an interesting problem the defense lawyers faced admirably. That is, when there is conflicting testimony between defense and prosecution witnesses, the defense strategy is to prove that there is a reasonable doubt. As the former Nixon re-election campaign manager’s lawyer put it: “Who do you believe John Mitchell or John Dean?” Although the question in many people’s minds was answered properly, there are those who believe otherwise. - - One down, one to go The jury, in justifying its verdict, said they couldn’t understand why men of Mitchell’s and Stans’ stature would have a “need” to commit crimes of this nature. But crimes by those in power are never committed out of need they are solely for stabilizing their position and securing their power further. Only the poor and social outcasts commit crimes out of need. For some, believing the former Attorney General is more difficult than believing John Dean. But the broader implications of this new development are more interesting. Mr. Mitchell still must stand trial in Washington, D.C. on charges of obstruction of justice. The possibility of the man going to jail still exists. The effect of Sunday’s acquittal on the impeachment inquiry in the House has yet to be measured. Nevertheless, the speculation has begun to fly. Press reports on the mood of the House Judiciary Committee have indicated a willingness to impeach. As all Representatives are still politicians, they must respond to their constituents. If the Judiciary Committee votes for impeachment as expected, it will only focus on those few charges that the members are sure will be upheld in a Senate trial. (The full House is widely expected to vote for impeachment if the Judiciary Committee recommends it.) Obviously, the secret $200,000 Robert Vesco contribution, which Stans and Mitchell were accused of letting influence an investigation into Vesco’s affairs, will not be one of those charges. But the Representatives who must accuse the President of impeachable offenses which may cost them their jobs will be very sure have excellent reasons for they making such accusations. — - — scheduled for July 13, 1974, registration deadline is June 21.

Supporters will insist that even the President’s closest advisors were innocent of any wrongdoing, even though Mr. Mitchell still must stand trial for another obstruction of justice charge. If Mr. Nixon’s closest men are innocent, then how could the President be guilty of any crime? This, of John Mitchell course, is a radical twist for those who have long said that only the men around Mr. Nixon were guilty. Indeed, the entire Nixonian defense may become believable that the entire Watergate affair is conspiracy launched by the Eastern press and Democratic liberals to avenge the loss of George McGovern. — % But obviously, that is not the case. John Dean has pleaded guilty to obstruction of justice, Herbert Porter and Donald Segretti have pleaded guilty as well. These lower-echelon men who conceivably did the dirty work for the men on top may be the White House aides who will sacrifice the most. It is a fact that serious abuses of power occurred, and some White House aides have pleaded guilty to them. If the abuses were carried out down the hall from the Oval Office, chances are the President knew about them. If he did not, was not Mr. Nixon incompetent as President for being totally unaware that all his aides are breaking the law? One is reminded of Anthony Lewis’ constant references to a corporation president, whose men all committed similar crimes such as sabotage and obstruction of justice, yet he denied any knowledge and remained president. Would you buy stock in that company? , a Vesco, who fled the country after indictments issued involving his J200.000 cash contribution, now resides in Venezuala, where U.S. attempts to extradite him have failed. Fleeing to a were country where extradition is difficult, is obviously an attempt to cover another crime. One of the jurors in the Mitchell trial wrote a note, found in the garbage, which read: “Nixon and Vesco is needed for proof.” It’s unfortunate that the President was not subpenoaed; perhaps the real truth was never found.

The Trustees neither sidestepped the issue, nor allowed the emotional feelings which have surrounded the which funding of the Birth Control Clinic to influence their launched the controversy decision.

Because without firm backing from Albany, Dr. Ketter was on shaky legal ground and his pledge to persuade the Trustees torperm it fees to be used for health care turned out to be no empty — promise. Although it earned him skepticism and criticism, Dr. Ketter insisted on finding a larger answer including exploring alternative ways of funding health services if the Trustees' ruling should be negative. But he went out on a limb by setting up a "revolving account" to keep the Birth Control Clinic operating during the dispute. While Dr. Ketter may be open to criticism in many areas, such as a lack of academic leadership, his integrity as his successful fight for the Trustees' approval for student-funded health services has again cannot be questioned. We hope the proven State will wake up to its responsibility to increase funding for campus health care and that the Trustees will not reverse their sensible decision to allow University students to spend theirfees on their health.

Steve Kolodny President Jewish Student Union Time to set priorities To the Editor. By the time this letter reaches the University community, there very well might have been some compromise in the Student Association’s budget dispute. Nonetheless, there are many discrepancies relayed through the student press that need to be cleared up. 1) Thisd World Student groups are not asking for all of their student fees returned. What they are asking for is a percentage that represents fee money that is used for activities, projects, etc., that Third World students do not use. With this money a committee of representatives from each Third World student group (an equal number of representatives from each club) under the Minority Affairs Coordinator, will decide on how this money will be allocated. 2) This is not a fight for money for only those groups represented in the Coalition (i.e., BSU, WYNPIRG, CAC, JSU, etc.) Major increases in allocations were suggested by the Student Coalition for Intramurals, Clubs and Health Care as well. Should we pay for the presitge of having an all-star athletic program (which we, don’t have)? Should" 'wd pay for athldtic "prestige at all? That is what we are asking the Student Association.

This is what we are asking. ? The Student Association officers have been working hard on these budget matters. Unfortunately they feel the steps we are asking are too “radical.” We understand their efforts are sincere, but we are asking them to respond to the students and what they want. Tell them what you want, write your SA officers. Contrary to the opinions of SA the time to decide what are our priorities is now.

The words income-offset have been thrown around during the last few budget “seasons”; income-offset means an organization generates income to reduce the need for a subsidy from student fees; a total income-offset group thus requires no subsidy. Organizations with possible sources of incopie (such as advertising in the case of publication) can thereby reduce or eliminate their dependence on student fees by applying such income to their budget. As a by-product, the actual users of services pay at least partically for them, allowing the fee money saved to be used for activities where all the students can benefit. In a broad sense, these would include the smaller UUAB committees, athletic teams such as crew and track, and the special-interest publications such as An and Women’s Voices. In other examples, the CAC movies supplement their programs in the community, and The Spectrum pays about 75% of its own expenses through advertising income. My first question then centers around the Athletic Department, the second-largest user of student fees. Last Friday The Spectrum acknowledged that spectator sports such as hockey and basketball should be supported, possibly to the detriment of the smaller teams who draw less fanfare. However, in my opinion, in just the same manner that admission fees are charged for UUAB concerts and movies, charging students for admission to varsity sporting events (when practical) is a way of easing the budget crunch whicl letting users help pay for what . they use. A $l/student ticket structure for home $2.50/non-student basketball and hockey games is not unreasonable, and probably would not affect attendance in the least. In the case of hockey, you’d get to see a game and skate afterwards for the same price as a UUAB movie both partially subsidized and real bargains. If 2000 people at $1 each attended 25 games, the — - -- total income would be $50,000; enough additional income to pay for expansions in women’s and intramural sports and avoid the discontinuance of the smaller teams. As for assitional costs of charging admissions and and security, they would be minimal, considering the outrageous amounts how being spent on printing professional tickets and keeping a ticket office open. The second area I’d like to explore is the use of student fees of, by and for the students who are forced to pay them. Two representative organizations immediately come to mind. The first, a minor but representative one, was the funding last year of the publication Akwesasne Notes, a newspaper written by Indians and produced for Indians. Very feww is any students were involved in its operation and probably only a few more have actually seen a copy; nevertheless every student here was forced to pay {ox Akwesasne Notes. Mandatory student fees should riot be used as a charity fund for outsiders; students are poor enough. A less blatant potential area for misuse of student money is WNYPIRG’s proposed budget. They want to hire, at a cost in the vicinity pf $17,000, two full-time people to coordinate their organization. This would be akin to The Spectmm hiring professional reporters and UUAB taking on Harvey and COrky to run their affairs. There is no evidence that students on small stipends could not do the same job that “professionals” on large salaries could do, at least as their research would relate to student needs. The eidtor of The Spectrum puts in about 70 hours of work a week for the fantastic sum of 58 cents per hour; can’t WNYPIRG find any dedicated students with research abilities? The only way spending abuses can be controlled is be an informed constituency feeding back their priorities to SA and Sub-Board. A computerized preference form would be a good start in that direction, as was the SA pie-chart published last month which listed where student money is currently going. It’s about time the average person got involved in the annual budget process. Clarification by Siggeltcow To life Editor: pr! vrlw vajgvrn a am 992 n aKMv» replaced “not,” so the corrected statement should 'read! , ' t’erha{& if requires too hrubh courage for student leaders to justify decisions that are sometimes influenced through fear, harrassment, and intimidation by special interest groups, even when these are not always truly representative of any homogeneous constituency.’* ■ Incidentally, I am convinced that if the student body were again asked to vote on whether or not to support athletics, the decision would heavily favor continuing such support. I cite this to illustrate the difficulties faced by and Student Association, which must somehow reflect how the students want their monies expended, despite tactics used by those representing special interests. Finally, to further update my statement, 1 should also add that I am entirely in support of the present Student Association, an unusually responive and dedicated group. <) noyil/i Primarily for the sake of clarity, I must correct two typographical errors that appeared in the article under my name on page 10 of last Friday’s The Spectrum. The sentence, “And, whether they like it or not, students are now virtually committed to a four (!) year period of such expenditures, sincere there is no present requirement for an annual referendum procedure,” should read “And, whether they like it or not, students are nor virually committed to a four (!) year period of such expenditures, since there is no present requirement for an annual referendum procedure.” The other sentence that must be changed, because the meaning itself was altered, presently reads: “Perhaps it requires too much courage for student government leaders to justify decisions that are sometimes influenced through fear, harassment, and intimidation by special interest groups, even when these are now always truly representative of any homogeneous constituency.” The word “now” Richard A.

Page seven . �Editor’s Note: The following was submitted by the Progressive Labor Party. Buses will be leaving Norton Union at 10 a.m. and 10 p.m. Friday as part of an international motorcade to Washington, D.C. for the Progressive Labor Party’s May Day March for Socialism to be held there on Saturday, May 4th. Students and workers from Canada and Puerto Rico, as well as from all across the U.S., will converge upon the capitol to celebrate May Day and to the international socialist holiday demand workers’ control of government, industry and education. In calling the march, the Progressive Labor Party feels that the rapid deterioration of the standard of living of all middle- and working-class families in the U.S. and around the world has led to a.wualitiative jump in the number of people ready to consider solutions to the present srises (oil, food, jobs, Watergate) outside of the — — capitalistic framework. Capitalism: more of the same At SUNYAB, cutbacks in the Colleges, EOP, CAC, WNYPIRG, health care, day care, financial aid, frad assistantships, tuition waivers, veterans’ benefits etc., etc., combined with the pitiful job market, “make it clear that those who run the U.S. economy, government and schools for their private profit cannot meet our needs,” PL claims. In pointing to socialism as the only real solution to the above mentioned problems, PL maintains that no capitalist politican, whether conservative or liberal, has anything to offer us but more of the same: “more inflation, more lay-offs, more racist ’delays’ in£OP checks, more political reprisals against faculty and students, and more cops to enforce the cutbacks and harass those of us who fight back.” Mark the beginning of the end qf capitalism by joining in its revolutionary May Day celebration and by returning home to seriously build the socialist movement, PL asks. Its main demands to unify the working-class are: “Smash Racism!” and “Thirty Hours Work for Forty Hours Pay!” The U.B. Vets Club has already endorsed the march. Round trip bus fare to the May Day demonstration costs $25. People can register at the PL table in the Center Lounge (Norton Hall) from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. today, May 1st, contact Sylvia Dick in 305 MacDonald Hall, or call 876-5131 or 862-4267. New city park Tree planting ceremony set planning the in large gathering The in involved McCarthy Park anticipated by festivities. Following the actual CAC, WNYPIRG, and Rachel planting, which will be supervised Carson College on Sunday, May S, by City Forester Edwin Drabek, will be totally apolitical. In there will be folk dancing and students, All conjunction University refreshments. with Community Day, these three community residents and city campus groups are sponsoring a officials are invited to participate “tree and bush planting day” in from 1 to S p.m. Local Boy Scout volunteers Buffalo’s newest comprehensive public park, a 26-acre site located have distributed flyers, urging groups or to behind Bennett High School, individuals contribute $ 1S toward the cost of adjacent to LaSalle Quarry. This is an “opportunity for purchasing a tree for McCarthy students to get together with Park. The City Parks Department people from the community in has agreed to buy two trees for creating a much-needed urban every one that can be obtained park,” said WNYPIRG member from other sources. In addition, Western New York Richard Sokolow, who has been the Foundation will buy one tree for each one the community can match. Donations, which are tax deductible, should be sent to Peggy Wheeler, 254C Evans Street No. 1, Williamsville, N.Y. 14221, and checks should be made payable to “McCarthy Park,” —continued form page 1— mr ... thrown the bomb. They should be hanged for their political views Repression spread to other cities: the entire executive board ofthe Knights of Labor in Milwaukee was arrested and charged with “rioting and conspiracy,” and the executive board of District Assembly 75 of the Knights of Labor were arrested in New York. Parsons left town, anticipating persecution. Within a few days, indictments for “conspiracy to murder” were handed down for Spies, Fielden, Parsons and five others. On the first day of the trial, Parsons . appeared. The trial was a farce. The police threatened some trial witnesses, some witnesses were paid, and a relative of one of the dead policemen sat on the jury. All defendants were convicted and all but one was sentenced to death by hanging. Neebe, who received )S years, addressed the court: “I saw that the I helped organize them. bakers in this city were treated like dogs That is a great crime. The men are now working ten hours a day instead that is another crime.” of fourteen and sixteen hours Parsons addressed the courtroom, charging that the thrower of the bomb had been hired by industrialists from New York, intent on destroying the eight-hour movement. He declared the innocence of the defendants, and charged that they were tried and convicted because of their political beliefs. He declared himself a socialist, and supported “the right of the toiler to have free and equal use of tools of production and the right of the producers to their product.” One Chicago businessman declared: “No, I don’t consider these I do people to be guilty of any offense, but they must be hanged consider that the labor movement must be crushed!” .. ... ... But August Spies struck at the heart of the matter: ‘if you think by hanging us you can stamp out the labor movement... the movement from which the down-trodden millions, the millions who toil in want and misery, expect salvation if this is your opinion, then hang us! Here you will tread upon a spade, but there and there, behind you and in front of you, and everywhere, flames blaze up. It is a subterranean fire. You can not put it out...” Lucy Parsons began touring the country, speaking to thousands about the Haymarket martyrs. Soon the protest movement spread across the country; thousands appealed for clemency. Protest marches took place in Italy, France, Spain, Russia, Holland and England. The day before the execution in 1877, the death sentences of Fielden and Schwab were commuted tp life. Lingg was murdered or ‘committed suicide’ in his cell. Parsons, Spies, Engel and Fischer were hanged. Maude Holmes Arboretum The concepts behind McCarthy Park~may be attributed to a work force of University students, faculty, community residents and City Hall officials. In addition to the landscaping, the planners designed the layout for an playground, adventure tour tennis, three basketball and four handball courts, a picnic area and a shelter house. With the help of University District Councilman Bill Price, $85,000 will be allocated by City Hall for the park in next year’s capital budget. Joseph Michaeli, student head of the playground designing, explained the highlights of this innovative facility: “It doesn’t draw on the traditional play forms. Instead, there will be flexible forms which can be in interpreted many ways, allowing for the most amount of creativity on the part of the action. Leaders of an international association of labor set this day for an international eight-hour struggle. Since that day, people all over the world have celebrated May 1 as Internationa) Workers Day. On the day of the Haymarket executions, the American people lost some of the best sons of the working class. But the people gained the eight-hour work day, and American workers wrote an important chapter in the history of the international labor participants [the kids].” movement. - International day In 1888, the American Federation of Labor voted to extend the eight-hour movement, fixing May 1, 1890 as the time for re-newed CHOICES...

The Bulls finished third, scoring 31 points. Buffalo trailed victorious Albany and host Stony Brook, who scored 85 and 60 points respectively, and they sneaked past Binghamton’s 29 points. Once again, freshman Eldred Stephens was responsible for much of Buffalo’s scoring. He racked up 15 of the 31 Bull points in winning the triple jump, long jump and 100-yard dash. These three wins give Stephens a total of ten wins in his 11 events this year. His only miss was a second place finish in the triple jump at Brockport. Coach Jim McDonough termed Stephens’ long jump and 100-yard dash performances as “mediocre,” thereby signifying that the outstanding work of Stephens has become commonplace this season. Stephens’ 10.0 in the hundred was his second of the year and reties the school record, hardly a “mediocre” performance by normal standards. In the triple jump, McDonough praised Stephens for his second jump of over 47 feet this year (the first broke the school record), and if not for the quick getaway which the Bulls were forced to make to catch their plane, Eldred might have done it again Not to be overlooked in all the commotion about Stephens is junior Mike Corbc«r€orbo«t ■vPhs the only Bull winner beside Stephens, and he won twice, scoring in the discus (135’7”) and the hammer throw (124’11”),' breaking the school record in tlje latter. “He’s handy to have around,” observed McDonough. The Bulls could conceivably have improved their performance if not for their tight schedule. The start of the meet was delayed and preliminary races in almost every event were necessary due to the unanticipated large number of entrants. McDonough said that Buffalo would have won the pole vault and perhaps scored in the mile relay, but there was no time to stay. “As they were running the mile relay, we were jumping in our rpnted cars to get to MacArthur,” he noted. Aside from forfeiting the relay and the pole vault, Buffalo was hurt in the triple jump and the javelin. Through it all, though, McDonough was still pleased with the Bulls’ showing: “We were happy to beat Binghamton. Last year we finished fourth in this meet.” Buffalo journeys to Ohio Wednesday to face Cleveland State and Central State. The Vikings are solid all around, while Central State has some good sprinters and jumpers. “1 hope we can beat Central State,” commented McDonough.

I The Spectrum Vol. 24, No. 80 Monday, 29 April 1974 State University of New York at Buffalo •servi This is not an excerpt from a piece of fiction, but part of what Tom Wolfe has called the “new journalism,” or what its critics call “parajoumalism.’ Journalism, like every other field, has undergone many radical changes during the past decade. To meet a wide variety of public demands, the news media has channelled itself along many distinct avenues. This “segmentation of the press,” explained Douglas Turner, Executive Editor of the Buffalo Courier-Express, “is a reaction to a cultural fission. The campus newspaper now has a life and purpose of its own,” Mr. Turner said. “They are no longer the faculty-approved ‘cutie pie’ things they used to be, but now serve as a polemical device that related to student demands. They do a better job and have a greater , and record the dynamics of life.” ft is characterized by “scene-by-scene descriptions of external settings,” “superficial rather than a historical narrative.” The New Journalism records dialogue as a and means of “establishing defining, a character” while view employing “point of narration.” Wolfe’s own writing has been characterized by typographical variations, simultaneous usage of slang and foreign terms, and an absurd choice of subject matter. John Seelye, writing for The New Republic, says of this new journalism: “It is basically satire, its subject matter being what is left over after The New York Times has been put to bed.” contemporary Terribly readable’ Mr. Seelye also finds this journalism “New York-bom and bred, tough, witty, unmerciful to Weeklies tap the market believes the all manner of pretense, jazzy, Mr. Turner suburban and urban weeklies try alive, and terribly readable.” to appeal to a diversity of groups, The movement began in the tapping these segmented markets early 1960’s with Gay Talese, and Breslin, for their commercial profit. He Jimmy feels that a publication like the novelists-turned-journalists Buffalo New Times absorbs the Truman Capote, Norman Mailer cost of the underground press, but and James Baldwin, employing techniques novelistic in the not the responsibilities.

Dwight Macdonald, a noted mode as an attempt to “capture independence.” movie reviewer and political essayist for Esquire and other magazines, and also a visiting professor of English at the State University of Buffalo, is one of those who chooses to call this style He accepts this kind of reporting from Norman Mailer because he is accurate and honest; “Mailer makes a dialogue lead up to something,” explained Mr. Macdonald, citing Mailer’s Armies of the Night, in which Mailer reports an antiwar march to the Pentagon entirely from his own point of view. “He makes up the dialogues. Using roughly what has happened, he gets a sense of the situation. He has a good memory for the crux, and then he weaves a dialogue around it," Mr. Macdonald observed. He added that those witnessing the actual persons dialogue, even those speaking, would not be able to recognize that dialogue Mailer’s was fabricated. ‘Gimmick’ style On the other hand, “Truman Capote is limited to direct quotations,” Mr. Macdonald said. “In Cold Blood is dead and sterile; Capote is inhibited from expressing his imagination. It is a record, a gimmick.” But he noted that as a researcher. Capote could not keep himself out of the story; he could not help imposing Iris character on the people he interviewed. “After the eighth tm population, Mr. ' Turner claims these publications do not discuss the destruction of society, but only praise, it. daily The metropolitan newspaper differs in that it only tells the facts, no matter who it hurts, even if it Op-Ed pages better Admitting that the daily newspapers do not have enough time to concern themselves with these pursuits, he remarked that the editorial and Op-Ed pages of hurts itself, Mr. Turner observed.

They range from the lack of funds to the ill effects of the 1970 campus disruptions. llie first SCATE published at this University was released in March of 1968. It states its goals “... to better the educational experience offered in the classrooms through constructive criticism of the present standards.” The last SCATE published at this University was released under the auspices of the Analysis of Teachers and Courses (ACT) program. It covers courses during the'Spring 1973 semester. The purpose of this SCATE according to a former associate director of the ACT program Bruce Francis teaching la twofold. To improve effectiveness and to help students choose their courses. Unresponsive faculty The only other SCATE published was released in the Fall of 1969. Fifty percent of the questionnaires sent out were returned. The “Introduction” to the 1969 SCATE attributed the infrequency of such evaluations to “the lack of responsiveness on the part of the faculty.” This lack of responsiveness became only part of the problems that the next SCATE committee was to face. This committee was formed the year following the Spring 1969 campus unrest. Anthony Lorenzetti, Vice-President for Student Affairs, explains that a group of students asked him to sponsor them in an effort to produce a comprehensive SCATE. The Research Foundation of the State University of New York appropriated $4,600 for this project. The students who were interested in coordinating this effort managed to get responses from a number of courses, according to Dr. Lorenzetti. “1 had my secretaries begin to type up the results but we never heard from the group of students Dr. again,” Lorenzetti. explained According to records in Dr. Lorenzetti’s flies only $300 was spent from the original allocation. The funds might conceivably, according to Dr. Lorenzetti, still be available for use. According to Dr. -Lorenzetti, a number of cartons were filled with typed material but the students never came back for it. They apparently lost interest in the project. The Spring of 1970 was filled with too much upheaval to get a SCATE committee off the ground, according to the Director of Instructional Services and Testing, Allen Kuntz. Dr. Kuntz attributed this lack of interest to the failure of the SCATE which Dr. Lorenzetti had sponsored. “The events of 69-70 had a terrible effect Students were utterly demoralized, things here were utterly chaotic. SCATE died for this reason. Dr. Kuntz explained. . .. ' Apparently many teachers were dissatisfied with the SCATE system because, as Dr. Kuntz commented, “it was an ill-conceived venture in free responses concerning professors that could not really be summarized.” Charles Ebert, dean of Undergraduate Studies said only two or three out of 100 comments were chosen to go into the 1968 and 1969 SCATE booklets. Although the Research Foundation had offered over $4,500 for a SCATE project, Dr. Ebert cited a 71-72 budget cutback as a possible reason for the absence of a He also SCATE. mentioned the unwillingness of Student Association to flgyj operation as they had done with 1969 SCATEs.

Kuntz to direct a program on student evaluations that would improve teaching effectiveness, This program became the ACT.

The University Survey of Courses and Teaching (USOCAT) is directed by Robert K. Rott, associate Dean for Research and Evaluation in4he School of Nursing. It is similar to the program in that it uses a standard computerized questionnaire. . ANNUAL DECISIONS... CHOICES...

Mr. Samuels, who is generally conceded to be the front-runner for the Democratic nomination for Governor denied him in 1970, consistently struck — out against the Republican Governorship of Rockefeller and Wilson: “The interest on Nelson Rockefeller’s Albany Mall could feed all the poor people in the state.” After calling for “law-and-order in Washington” by “giving Richard Nixon a fair trial after we impeach him,” Mr. Samuels criticized the “corrupt” state government: “We have to open the committees in the State Legislature. They should hold open meetings, as in California. You go there during the last week in the session, and it’s a disgrace; closed committees, laws passed that nobody reads.” Special interest power One way of cleaning up the government, Mr. Samuels insisted, would be to pass a reform law. comprehensive campaign “Special interests have an inordinate amount of power in this country, and they buy that power by the way parties and campaigns are financed,” the Democratic candidate charged. He.said he favored some mixture of public and private financing of political campaigns, and strict limits on what any one individual could contribute. “I would insist on total disclosure for all political candidates,” he said, noting that he paid $45,000 in his own tax returns had been made public. taxes last year The corrupt system of campaign financing, he declared, has meant that “the American — — people don’t own their government any more.” Mr. Samuels predicted that “total disclosure for all candidates will mean that many will go to jail.” The president of New York City’s Mr. Corporation, Off-Track Betting Samuels told a questioner who sought his favorite in the upcoming Kentucky Derby: “I was successful at OTB because 1 know nothing about horses.” In a more serious vein, Mr. Samuels said he had just visited Attica prison and was disgusted with the services for prisoners he found there. “Our present jails are schools for criminals, and we pay the tuition,” he asserted. Discussing Mr. Rockefeller’s failure to appear at the 1971 Attica rebellion, he said: “With 50 of my employees hostage, 1 would have been there. Blasting the state’s criminal justice Mr. Samuels said that he was “committed to prison reform” and that education and job trailing programs were vital to reduce the rate of prisoner system, recidivism. , Campaign theme: more jobs However, he demuerred oil the question of whether he supported the State University college for prisoners at Bedford Hills just slashed from the budget by the State Legislature. He later admitted in an interview that while he favors a broad range of rehabilitative services for prisoners, to publicly support a college for prisoners would bring political criticism that he “wants to send prisoners to college” and >T would be painted by the right as a permissive liberal.” He did tell the Haas Lounge crowd, that he had successfully however, employed former prisoners, heroin addicts, disadvantaged other paraplegics and persons in his Off-Track Betting office. “You can’t solve human problems, welfare or problems of prisoner problems, recidivism without employment,” Mr. Samuels asserted, stressing a theme of his campaign: more jobs. “Rockefeller and Wilson have lost 600,000 manufacturing jobs in New York. The answer to social problems lies in employment,” he said, admitting that while “I don’t have all the answers, I know what I have to begin to do if I am elected Governor.” „ on abortion, Mr. Samuels replied: “1 give the woman the right to make the decision as to whether or not she has a child.” In addition to cheap access to abortions, he would like to see “supportive services for those who want to keep their children.” “As Governor, 1 will ask my party to get rid of the disastrous economic policies of Richard Nixon,” he said, nothing the annual 15% rate of inflation “which no one would have believed possible.” He also noted that “people are moving out of the cities as fast as they can,” asserting; “You can’t save the cities unless we keep the middle class there, and the middle class, black and white, is moving out.” He pledged to try to bring more industry back into New York State to create more jobs, which in turn, would keep more people in New York’s cities. Another factor contributing to the exodus from the cities, Mr. Samuels PROF subway He the cited need for planning: “Malcolm Wilson’s is to keep New York City’s fare at until $.35 after the Decriminalize marijuana Mr. Samuels noted the need for increased student financial aid, although he was uncertain if he could afford much more than “low-interest loans” for students. When asked if he would try to hold State University tuition stable, he dodged the question by charging that student tuition is paying for the Albany mall of Nelson Rockefeller, who he termed “an amoral politician.” In addition to reforming the State Legislature, which Mr. Samuels predicted would be controlled by the Democrats if he was the Gobernatorial candidate, Mr. Samuels criticized the seniority system in Congress: “We have to end the three S’s in Congress: Seniority, secrecy and senility,” he said. Questioned about New York’s tough drug law enacted by former Governor Rockefeller, Mr. Samuels said; “The day that drug law came out, 1 attacked it as a if he is elected Governor. If national health insurance is not enacted by the time he took office, Mr. Samuels said he would push for a state health insurance program: “Health care is a a privilege. All civilized nations health insurance, and we have an right, not have expensive bureaucracy.” In all areas, Mr. pledged to use his managerial experience to make the state bureaucracy “more responsive to people.” Samuels Mr. Samuels later admitted that in the campaign, he had to avoid “the top three emotional issues: busing, quotas and scatter-site housing.” Although not overly enthusiastic, the large Haas Lounge crowd seemed more pleased by his liberal stances than by the conservatives views advanced by Senator James Buckley last week. a great deal of insight ... ... -PROF.

Until five or six years ago, “the bulk of the (hospital] traffic was one-way,” he explained. Mr. Fabinsky described the old function of the mental hospital as a “human warehouse or refuse heap.” Both Mr. Fabinsky and Ms. Christianson reported that most of the patients have been in the hospital for IS years or more.

It is reinforced by “rewards and punishments.” In other words, behavior either obtains or avoids something the patient wants or wants to avoid.

A final decision by the Trustees will probably not be rendered until the completion of a study to be made by the SUNY Provost, according to Tom Craine, assistant to President Robert Ketter. Dr. Craine pointed out that he could only relate his impression of the recent Board of Trustees meeting. “What we have been doing in the past [in health care] has been all right we can continue in the way we have been,” Dr. Craine observed. Essentially, he said, the interpretation by the SUNY legal counsel as to whether student fees could be used for health services “was positive, and the issue, in my interpretation, is resolved.” Health Care services including Sub-Board’s Birth Control Clinic, pregnancy counseling center and clinical has been operating on an income-generating laboratory “revolving account” (which technically does not utilize mandatory student fees). The revolving account was set up at University President Robert Ketter’s suggestion as a temporary measure. — - — — Legal limbo Dr. Ketter has not yet offered a ruling on whether student fees can be used for health services. He is admittedly' hesitant about making a decision before the Trustees arrive at a definitive legal ruling. However, Dr. Ketter has repeatedly insisted that he favors student-funded health services on campus. “Dr. Ketter has gone to bat for us, and we appreciate it,” said Health Care Division director A1 Campagna. A memo from the SUNY legal counsel in Albany raised such serious questions about using mandatory student fees for health care that Dr. Ketter decided he could not safely allow the fees to continue to be used for health services. Although the memo said continuing to use student fees for health care “was not beyond the pale of presidential discretion,” it raised the possibliity of lawsuits which Dr. Ketter does not want to risk without firm legal support from Albany. He is thus seeking to persuade the Board of Trustees to amend the fee guidelines to include health care, but the study reportedly ordered by the Trustees Wednesday will delay any final Trustees ruling. Meanwhile, campus health care will continue in a state of legal limbo. The feasibility of using a revolving account over an extended period is being questioned, however. “The revolving account has been dubbed the “dissolving account,” Mr. Campagna noted. “The Birth Control Clinic cannot support itself without a price rise. Health care is reluctant to do this in some areas where the fee schedule would be out of alignment with the students’ ability to pay,” he said. Under the present system. Health Care must be sure that expenditures do not outstrip income, Mr. Campagna explained, adding that the situation meant there is no chance for expansion. If the revolving account becomes unworkable, health care “may have to look for other means of funding, through voluntary fees, or another organization or administrative arm which is willing to assume responsibility,” Mr. Campagna asserted. “It’s a matter tfith regard to student organizations as a whole; let’s face it, mandatory student activity fees are not the most stable way “to finance student activities, maintained SUNY Vice-Chancellor for Student Affairs Russ Gugino. Ketter’s decision Mr. Gugino saw the question as being: “Is health care something that should be paid by individuals if it only benefits a certain number of different individuals? For Dr. Ketter, is health care essential to the University mission?” There are ten SUNY Trustees’ guidelines concerning mandatory student fees. While the guidelines are open to interpretation by each campus president, an eleventh category would have to be added to specifically provide for the funding of student health services. 'The SUNY Trustees’ decision will likely be negative; it raises questions that don’t have to be raised,” declared Student Association of the State University (SASU) member Bob Rodriguez. “The Trustees are the worst possible people to make the decision; Dr. Ketter is afraid to make the decision on a local campus and is trying to get the SUNY Trustees to make it instead,” he continued. Mr. Rodriguez believed Dr. Ketter’s reluctance to decide on health care threatens existing health care programs on other campuses. “What he’s doing doesn’t seem very rational,” he said. Buffalo State College has a $90,000 health care program in operation, and Mr. Rodriguez felt sufficient pressure can be brought to bear in convincing Dr. Ketter to —Santos Al Campagna keep his decision local. Supporting Mr. Rodriguez’s contention, Mr. Campagna indicated that the general concensus of the Trustees was negative at this time. One of the Trustees, said Mr. Campagna, said “the real meat of the issue” had to do with birth control and ‘termination of pregnancy’ programs. them to consider “I urged the package comprehensively, and not to politicize it,” Mr. Campagna asserted. He stressed the need for a speedy decision on health services, and added that the issues should be considered “in the context of health care, whether that be physical or mental.” Health Care’s proposal to the Board of Trustees, delivered by Mr. Campagna at their Wednesday meeting in New York City, urges “that the current set of guidelines be amended to include the words “supplemental programs of medical services and health care.” It continues; “Such an amendment would eliminate the conflicts in SUNY counsel’s office and should allow us to continue to augment and improve the auxiliary medical services on SUNYAB campus.” •„», BOG applications Gotta ditch your apartment?

Scholastic Housing approaches cooperative living as alternative by Maigaret Eichd Spectrum Staff Writer ‘This is not just a place to live or a presumptuous ideal; it is a place of learning,” explained David Moskowitz, a resident of Scholastic Housing, Inc., Sub-Board I’s year-old living cooperative. Previously a boarding house for transients, the co-op was purchased by Sub-Board in August 1973 “as a means for providing an alternative living style for students,” explained Mark Sick, division director of Scholastic Housing. Modeled after the Inter-Cooperative Council (ICC) in Ann Arbor’s University of Michigan, the Crescent Avenue co-op originated “as part of a program whereby more student housing is provided in the face of the Buffalo housing shortage,” Mr. Sick said. In selecting a building for student housing, the corporation “really did not have any choice, because all the Administration was receptive to was purchasing a co-op,” he maintained. Not perfect Funded initially by student fees, the co-op was purchased for $16,000 and required $6,000 worth of repairs. The co-op now functions on an income-offset basis, and, according to Mr. Sick, requires no additional funds money from the student body. Because the co-op’s 22 spaces and waiting list are filled, “Scholastic Housing is not a mis-investment,” claimed Rich Hochman, Student Association (SA) vice-president for Sub-Board I. When the co-op first got off the ground in September, it encountered various difficulties. “The cooperative atmosphere was not working out,” Hochman said. “There were a lot of separate people with a lot of separate interests, so for awhile there were many ups and downs,” added Linda Schiller, a co-op resident. However, now “everyone knows what cooperation means; people are together, we’re friends,” she said. Limited structure “The people in the co-op are disinclined towards so there is only as much structure as is absolutely necessary,” Mr. Moskowitz emphasized. Co-op residents meet every Sunday to discuss problems or activities, and they have devised a cooking and cleaning system which is not sexist, Ms. Schiller said. structure, Although the cooperative atmosphere at the house has “improved incredibly,” cooperation between Sub-Board and the co-op residents has been more difficult to attain, according to Ms. Schiller. “Students on the Board have no Rape prevention car pool project proposed A move to institute a rape prevention car pool has been proposed to Sub-Board I, Inc. The founders of the proposal, Barbara Barrett and Libby Salberg, are confident that this program will lessen women’s fears of going out at night. The idea for a Women’s Transit Authority (WTA) came from a similar car pool which originated at the University of Michigan, Ms. Barrett explained. The staff will be made up entirely of volunteers, many of whom will drive a van along a regular route, seven nights a week from 8 !p.m. until 1 a.m. This service will be available to all women from the State University of Buffalo and Buffalo State College. In an effort to better organize their project, Ms. Barrett and Ms. Salberg will distribute a survey on the incidence of rape and attempted rape in the Buffalo area. All answers will be kept strictly confidential, and suggestions are welcomed. New Journalism’ explained. “If .we could turn out a good venture, change from the dull news operation lacking entertainment to one that had credibility, then the ratings didn’t matter.” He added; “The change is not as fast as I’d like to make it, but in the long run it will be the place for a news operation.” Non-thinking news Discussing the issue of the “segmentation” in the media, Mr. Rotman said: “Each of the three news stations had decided what group to appeal to. KB (WKBW, Channel 71 has maintained the lowest common denominator it doesn’t take any real thinking to - put together its program.” WGR, Channel 2, a “place of change,” said Mr. Rotman is “somewhere in between, telling less stories but telling them with a flair.” Mr. Rotman termed his own station’s change “evolutionary and not revolutionary.” As a more in-depth news show, it requires more time to watch. “WBEN appeals to thinking people and adults,” he explained. When something major happens and people want to find out about it in full, they can turn to WBEN.” A further reason for the decline in ratings has been because the number one station “appeals to a large percentage of people who want to be entertained.” This . . u ' V' . surmised. Do-it-yourself “We were under the impression that the house would be repaired and in livable condition when we moved in,” continued Ms. Schiller. “However, we had to do most of the repairs, like painting, by ourselves.” Some repairs such as the installation of the showers, took eight months. However, loose stairs and rotting bathroom floors have not been fixed. Delays in repairs are due, in part, to the limited budget with which Scholastic Housing works, Mr. Sick said. Scholastic Housing’s “short-term goal is to provide low-cost quality housing to students, and ultimately, by opening up more units, make housing competitive to lower rents in the area,” explained Mr. Sick. The corporation is also working on plans for married students’ housing. No precedent “Because the present State University of New York (SUNY) administration is afraid to set a precedent with student operated off-campus housing and frowns upon co-ed housing without supervision, the expansion of Scholastic Housing has been delayed, Mr. Sick said. “In light of what’s happening to university health care, Scholastic Housing may begin experiencing more delays due to the guidelines for spending mandatory fees,” he added. Three chosen Tentative results for SASU Elections for this University’s undergraduate representatives to the Student Association of the State University (SASU) may be challenged by one of the candidates. Edward Rosenfeld, who came in fourth in a nine-candidate field, complained to the director of Elections and Credentials that the voting machines were so set up that voters would pull the lever to the left of the candidate for whom they intended to vote. Janet Mrozowski, director of Elections and Credentials, said in reply: “If the men from the .[Buffalo] Board of Elections said it [the arrangement of the names] was all right, how can anyone contest it?” The normal procedure is to file a complaint with the Student Judiciary, which can rule that new elections must be held. Mr. Rosenfeld could not be reached so it is not known whether he will appeal. Pending any such action, the results are as follows: Barbara Ranagan, 111; Janice Carver, 155 (elected); Michele Smith, 206 (elected); Edward Rosenfeld, 144; William Atchley, 94; David Marion, 86; Andrew Walle, 98; John Sullivan, 102; Charles Goldberg, 173 (elected).

WBFO offers a daily hour-and-a-half news broadcast that is received from the National Public Radio Network. Mr. Campbell would like the station to offer more complete and coverage, but is in-depth restrained from doing so because of the station’s limited money. WBFO is a non-commercial radio station, supported largely by contributions.

Don Bozek, manager of Norton Food Service, explained that the gambling In the Rat has increased significantly past two weeks and has resulted in the sale of alcohol being prohibited whenever gambling occurs. This prohibition has apparently upset a number of customers, explained Mr. Bozek. The Rathskellar could lose its liquor license, however, if alcohol had not been withheld while the gambling continued. Rathskellar supervisors who have attempted to eliminate the gambling have been verbally harassed, Mr. Bozek said. Campus Security has been called each time the bars have been shut down, but “the last few times, they say don’t bother calling us,” Mr. Bozek reported. Hiring a bouncer would b* the last resort,” said Mr. Bozek: “We don’t want to set up a,Gestapo system. Hopefully, the problem will be solved by other students and our customers.” Lee Griffin, assistant director of Campus Security, said that gambling in the Rathskellar was not “a recent problem.” Mr. Griffin called the gambling situation “explosive” in light of the recent confrontations between members of the Black Student Union and the Student over the Assembly during the Student Association budget hearings last week.

Possible solutions to the problem could be sought through the Office of Student Affairs and the University’s Alcohol Review Board, said Mr. Griffin. “But this the of requires cooperation students,” he said.

Minorities urged to assist in rejuvenating Buffalo slums by Linda Moskowitz Feature Editor Anyone who’s ever been to Buffalo’s East Side should be familiar with the overabundance of abandoned structures and fire-gutted shells which were once homes and stores, and now remain only as obstrusive eyesores in this community. The ever-increasing number of fires in the area contributes heavily to the problem. Calvin Fitter, the first black graduate of the undergraduate division of the University’s Environmental Design Department, suggests that the answer to this problem depends strongly upon an increase in “grass-root professionals,” whom he feels, “can come into a depressed area and have a positive effect on the urban community.” “But the fact is,” he continued, “there are very few trained people to do this work,” pointing out that there are only 400 black architests in the entire country. — Housing a critical area 217 Waverly Street, now under rehabilitation by BCDO. This house will be completed by eariy summer. It is being done as a model to show the community what can be done in the area under the rehabilitation process. “Housing, at this point, is a critical factor in the lives of ghetto people,” said Mr. Fitter, "it is the number ope problem.” Since the economic power in the minority communities is lacking to buy the services necessary for urban rehabilitation, he feels residents are dependent upon minority professionals from the community, who can lend their time and give advice to the people. In a word to minority college students, Mr. Fitter maintains “the skills you can bring back to the community are very essential. If a student with expertise leaves, there is no way the community will get built up.” Currently, there are a number of organizations which deal with the problems of urban planning and development. One example is the Community Planning Assistance Center (CPAC), located at 25 High Street, which is a non-profit, volunteer, advocacy group, offering free architectural and planning services to community organizations. Mr. Fitter, assigned to do his required internship or field work here, commented that CPAC “utilizes students to the maximum, as they must depend on a lot of volunteer expertise.” Fire adds to blight “I found the center to be very worthwhile for student, community input,” said Mr. Fitter, noting that he spent 20-25 hours per week working for CPAC. While CPAC is now conducting 15-20 projects, Mr. Fitter chose to work specifically with the Buffalo Development Community Organization (BCDO). This group is made up of about 30-35 concerned residents of the Cold Springs area, who asked CPAC for assistance. Cold Springs is a predominantly black, impoverished community on Buffalo’s East Side, bordered by Northland, Masten, Jefferson and Ferry Streets. The area is marred by abandoned buildings, vacant lots and the remains of fire-destroyed homes. Fire itself, is a major problem. Mr. Fitter contends much of this is due to the large number of wood-framed structures, which are fire hazards and of obsolete architectural design. “In the future,” he said, “Buffalo is going to have to use brick in its building.” Freeze on federal housing Another major cause of fire in this community is arson. “In interacting with the kids on the street,” said Mr. Fitter, “I found that the teenagers looking at these fire-ridden structures feel that the city officials are just going to ignore them, so they feel they might as well burn them up.” An increase in fire leads A deteriorated structure, which must seme down* It is a hazard to residents. City affiaiaU seam ta act v vary slowly with the preaaM at demolition. . 4* Page aight. The Spectrum Monday, 29 April 1974 . < to a decrease in population and more abandoned buildings. With the more prosperous community members leaving first, and displaced families following, the outlook for ghetto rehabilitation is bleak. Another factor 18-month hindering development is the moratorium placed on federal housing programs by the Nixon Administration. This moratorium, combined with a general recession and decreased spending by the public, have caused a slowdown in the constructioiindustry, and a lightened workload for architects and urban planners. Strategies planned The freeze on federal housing programs is due to end this summer. But the key items needed to halt the spreading blight in the nation’s ghettos are an increase in economic buying power and credit in these communities, which is needed to purchase the skills and services vital to rehabilitation, and larger numbers of minority professionals who are willing to rebuild these areas. BCDO and CPAC have worked out several strategies to facilitate new development in the Cold Springs area, according to Mr. Fitter. They are to rehabilitate as many abandoned houses as possible and bring them up to the standards of the code; to demolish all fire-hazard building structures, and clear the land for new construction on feasible sites; development of more recreational facilities; revitalization of the commercial strip, which runs through East Ferry Street and on sections of Jefferson Avenue; and construction of more off-street parking facilities. Hi-rise projects have failed “Hopefully, banks will reinvest in the area, once it is brought up to standard,’'said Mr. Fitter. CPAC has already approached the New York State Urban Development Corporation (UDC) “to begin ,to formalize preliminary plans for scitter-site housing, and more open space for recreation areas,” he explained. UDC is a state-funded organization which so far, has implemented over 20,000 units of housing in New York State. Although they are at a low point of development, according to Mr. Fitter,he believes UDC has been “one of the most successful organizations in the country for development of low to moderate-income housing.” The trend in low-income housing is now towards town-house, garden apartment-types of structures, as the high-rise projects have been labeled a failure in almost every instance. Mr. Fitter comments that these huge apartment buildings are “unsafe and hazardous,” adding that “even psychologically, it’s a scary thing just being 15 to 20 stories up in the air.” But he also noted that the low-rise plans are “not workable for every city,” citing New York City as an example where high population density leaves the architect little choice but to build upwards. City ordinance offers new plan The project which offers the most growth potential to blighted neighborhoods is the new Homestead Act, a city ordinance recently approved which would enable currently unused city land to be put back on the tax rolls. Mr. Fitter explained that the city of Buffalo owns about 45% of the land of Cold Springs, much of which is vacant and abandoned. The Homestead Act would allow the city to sell abandoned homes to families at extremely low cost. The family is then responsible to bring the structure up to building code standards in a certain amount of time, after which the family owns the property and pays city taxes for it. The city will try to arrange plans with certain banks to provide loans for these families. . �I - t slums i ned buildings. With ity members leaving llowing, the outlook eak.

Note “Since the bank doesn’t specify how the house is to be rebuilt,” Mr. Fitter advised prospective homeowners, “you could cut costs if you do it yourself if you’re that good,” rather than contracting out to a regular company. The details of the Homestead Act are still being formulated at City Hall, and the plan has not yet - boarded windows, known as "Ghetto Glass Building," which is common throughout commerical strip on E.

BCDO, many of whose members possess building and trade skills, are currently rehabilitating one home themselves, at 217 Waverly, to “show the community what can be done,” said Mr. Fitter.

Community choice; a reality There are only two other minority students, Leon Lackey and Wilbert Faccio, now working with CPAC for their internships. And there are only three minority students in the Environmental Design department. Mr. Fitter said the chairman of the Environmental Design Department, Mr. Hum Jammal, feels a strong need to recruit more minority students in this area. “The communities have now been given the opportunity to say, ‘What do we want?’,” said Mr. Fitter. “The bureaucrats, the city hall officials and the feds cannot come into the area and say, ‘This is what you’re going to get.’ Community groups can now override officials, since they’re the ones who are going to live there.” But Mr. Fitter stressed this can only happen if the minority community has the expertise and trained personnel to take charge of such programs. CPAC is one such group, which Mr. Fitter explains “acts as a liaison between the local government officials and the community members.” He continued to say that all hard-core skills are needed, such as accounting and management, for these programs to work. ;uivest or ig” said “it got recently currently unused tax rolls.

If 1 can curb my rampant anxiety somewhat, it docs feel as if people going away is painful. Or at least 1 suspect that the reason for repressing any awareness about people leaving is because of what that could feel like if I weren’t careful. As if I were really able to do that with any kind of consistency at all. My problem is that while hiding what is going on from other people, especially in terms of feeling bad down, depressed, whatever your phrase happens to be is comparatively easy. It is my own awareness of feelings that I can’t get away from. Which brings on fantasies akin to all those old and new motion pictures featuring chase sequences in which people are running in one door and coming out another, while the pursuer comes out still a'third. Images of parts of my psyche running up and down corridors after other parts, while I am hiding in a broom closet.

His approval of the 1970 "internal security" plan's use of wiretapping and burglary, the use of those tactics against 1972 political opponents, and his withholding of evidence and dubious approach to the judge in the Ellsberg trial could be included in this article of impeachment. If impeachment were solely political, Mr. Nixon might still be able to extricate himself, but it is the legal process which is tightening the noose around him. He recognized this when he fired Archibald Cox and attempted to end the Special Prosecutor's office, but the weight of public opinion caused that desperate maneuver to fail. The best he has been able to do since is hire a good lawyer; political offensives from Operation Candor to his losing campaign in Michigan cannot stave off the enclosing legal process of grand juries, trials, and prosecutors collecting evidence. The missing and intentionally damaged tapes and attempts to withhold evidence are judicial crimes, panicky resistance to the legal course of impeachment. Mr. Nixon will announce this week what he and his lawyers have decided to give the House committee in response to its subpoena for 42 Watergate tapes: partial transcripts of those conversations, an offering which the committee has repeatedly declared would be unacceptable. His defense has become one of a man with a great deal to hide, and his noncompliance risks another impeachment charge for further obstruction of justice. The legal coils are tightening around the President, and he cannot alter the weight of the evidence evidence which, if it were favorable to Mr. Nixon, would not have had to be subpoenaed. An impeachment recommendation by the House inquiry is virtually certain by the end of June, and a full House facing re-election is not going to dispute either the inquiry's evidence or its advice to impeach. Two years after the Watergate break-in revealed the tip of the iceberg of Presidential abuse of power, Richard Nixon is going to be tried by the Senate as America attempts to purge a criminal tyrant from the Presidency. . Judiciary Committee's House President narrow its into inquiry decision to Nixon's misconduct in office represents a crucial turning point in the events leading up to impeachment. In the beginning, the committee had to construe its responsibilities as broadly as possible, uncertain where the various investigations might lead. But now, like a good prosecutor (for this is the committee's role), and with a more complete view of the evidence, the House inquiry is concentrating on those charges most likely to be proven against Mr. Nixon in a Senate trial. In order to do this, many of the otherwise-important charges of Presidential misconduct are being set aside. No article of impeachment will therefore concern Mr. of Nixon's impoundment funds of Congressionally-appropriated dismantling of the Office of Economic Opportunity, even though these tactics would make it difficult to justify them as impeachable. There will probably be no charges involving the President in trading Government favors for illegal campaign contributions, simply because Mr. Nixon's personal involvement would be difficult to prove. Charges that illegal contributions were a for favorable' antitrust exchanged for and the raising of milk ITT settlement support prices for the dairy industry are still being pursued, however. The decision to include Mr. Nixon's illegal secret bombing of Cambodia is still pending a Congressional report, focusing on whether or not key members of Congress were informed of this aerial destruction in Asia while the President lied to America on television. The shocking disclosure that Mr. Nixon paid only minimal income taxes and became and a millionaire while in the Presidency now owes $432,000 in unpaid income taxes will be an impeachable offense if evidence of intentional taxpayer fraud can be proven. Considering that the man who appraised Mr. Nixon's Vice-Presidential papers now admits he did so after the deadline for such and that the President has deductions self-servingly announced that any blame for the tax his taxes ties with his accountants evasion charge which toppled Spiro Agnew from office may finish Mr. Nixon as well. But the inquiry will fiercely concentrate on the allegations that Mr. Nixon knew of The ' . . Impeachment: legally inevitable - vacant . - * . backwards toward a medieval concept of criminal justice. Although decades of study and statistics have shown that capital punishment provides absolutely no deterrent to crime, the State Assembly has approved a limited death penalty bill for the murder of peace or prison officers or by an inmate. The bill's constitutionality is doubtful; and what murderer would not plead the defense of "extreme emotional disturbance" allowed by the bill? We hope the State Senate will take a more rational view than the warped concept that an official murder is the only response to even such heinous murders as those resisting the political covered by the bill temptation to appear "tough" on crime by passing it. Unfortunately, this same political motivation has led the State Legislature to slash from its budget the State University college for prisoners at Bedford Hills. While over $250 million is being spent on unneeded highways, this small $500,000 investment in rehabilitation was vetoed because the lawmakers don't want to "coddle criminals." Incarceration increases the bitterness toward society of those confined, who as ex-convicts have great difficulty finding even unskilled jobs when they are released. The inability to find a self-supporting job is the biggest single temptation to a return to crime, and ultimately to jail. To break this vicious cycle, selected prisoners could have earned two-year degrees at this SUNY prison/college and had a chance to become self-supporting in a competitive society. Since the state spends $10,000 a year simply to confine each prisoner, it would not take many successes to justify the program's small cost. The argument that prisoners that an education get shouldn't workingmen's children can't afford raises a separate issue; financial aid and low tuition (like City University's zero charge) are needed to make college accessible to both the working-class and the poor. But trying to train inmates so they can find employment instead of returning to prison is not being "soft" on criminals, but a sensible investment in rehabilitation. We strongly urge improving the oppressive prison conditions that produced Attica by funding the SUNY prison/college. I wish the weather would break once and for all. In large part, this feels like autumn. And I don’t need that at all. Cold, gloomy weather is not a good time to be winding down a school year; it is' not good weather for people to be getting ready to go away. Things are winding down, you may already be into the last-minute frenzy of trying to catch up to all the crap that hasn’t been done so far, all , the overdue papers, all the unread pages. Which, obviously, leaves no time for all the people that things were never finished with. I mean you have all that work to do, how can you find time to sit and talk to people? How is there space in such a hectic schedule to find room for saying things that have not been said by this time? Clearly it makes more sense to not bother, to just skip it. What sense does it make to reach out now, when nothing can come ot if? Only a limited amount can come from it. No argument about that. As long as both people don’t want anything to come from it, of course. Because it does seem that stubborn people can frequently find a way, some way, to keep some kind of contact with each other. Of course there is the risk that you might want to try that, and that other idiot won’t have the good taste to reciprocate. Which which might be the reason why could feel sort of like rejection you never reached out in the first place, right? Think on it.

For the past year we have been bombarded with revelations of official, and at times unofficial, machinations that by comparison would elevate Warren Harding and Ulysses S. Grant to position of pristine purity. However, under this mountain of information it is hard to keep an historical perspective; a perspective that would enable us to place these scandals in their proper place. In order to evaluate the current talk pertaining to impeachment, it is necessary to understand the role and intrinsic value that impeachment has in the American Constitution. In the Constitution, it is stated that a President could be impeached for “high crimes and misdemeanors;” however, our founding fathers left the door open when it came to a specific definition of that ambiguous phrase. Thus the constitutional framers, possibly - realizing the impossibility of creating a rigid definition that would stand the test of time, created the situation in which partisan politicos must first define the crime and then try the President. Of course this situation would create an atmosphere in which partisan political gain and political expediency could be a determinant of what legally constitutes impeachment. SA bums out again To the Editor. Is S.A. satisfying your academic, political, social or economic needs and interests? U.B. needs a changing and growing collective system to focus on meeting these needs and not a bureaucratic government that tries to look legitimate. the past three years, S.A.’s greatest In was to allocate student responsibility fees (irregardless of student priorities). A simple computer program and questionnaire can give a relative scaling of students’ importance and satisfaction. A simple linear program could then allocate the money. If that is why people consider S.A. necessary, it can be replaced by $10 worth of canned computer programs.

Who is going to demand educational changes for more individualized interest centered and relevant programs? remove a President. present dilemma, our current President has been moving slowly toward an open confrontation with the other two branches of our government. Originally, the scandal broke when some bungling burglars were caught attempting to break into Democratic National Headquarters and two intrepid reporters from the Washington Post penetrated the Administration smokescreen which labelel it “a third-rate burglary.” From this In our harly auspicious beginning, the stench of decay permeated America as more tales of misdeeds were uncovered and allowed to waft in the balmy Virginia air. No stone was left unturned as bombshell followed bombshell: campaign contributions in violation of the law, dirty tricks, unlawful use of federal agencies (especially the FBI), income tax discrepancies, conflicting reports on personal home improvements, illegal bombing of Cambodia to name only a few. What began as a filler story for most of the news media turned into the key to Pandora’s box. However, rumor and insinuation are not enough to convict any man or woman, even if passionate hatred is the only emotion that one could feel for the accused. What is needed is - Who is going to fight for economic and social needs, such as health and day care, tuition and other costs, and the everyday struggles that all humans institution? ISN’T INTERCOLLEGIATE must go through in this SURELY IT SPORTS OR S.A.! This partisan political atmosphere resulted in the impeachment of President Andrew Johnson over the question of presidential powers relating to cabinet appointments and removals. Historians have praised the courage of the senators that voted against conviction, and John Kennedy included the tale of the senator that cast the deciding vote in his best-seller, Profiles in Courage. The result of this 1868 incident has been an adverse aura around impeachment, and an historical legacy that cautioned against undue usage of a necessary, but explosive legal means to facts: facts that could clear the President of any wrongdoing or result in his removal. Yet, like Catch 22, that has been the most frightening and frustrating part of the scandals, and one which illuminates a fatal weakness in our American system of government. The Congress and the courts, supposedly equal partners in our federal system, have been unable to determine guilt or innocence because the alleged defendant claims the power to withhold the evidence. If this situation occurred in our local courts, the claims of the suspected person would be seen as a mere stalling attempt an attempt to withhold evidence that could convict the defendant. Originally, the Watergate hearings revolved around the testimony of John Dean and his claim that the President knew about the so-called dirty tricks, and aided in the attempted coverup. From this tiny germ, however, an entire new series of allegations has arisen which can only be — substantiated by evidence. Whether Mr. Nixon was originally guilty of the coverup and planning of the dirty tricks is really a secondary question the primary question is the power of Congress and the courts to execute the will of the founding fathers in relation to impeachment. The — stalling, evasions, propaganda counterattacks, “missing tapes,” and refusal to bow to the rule of law is really the issue. If the President withholds evidence needed in an impeachment hearing, it is quite possible that if impeachment is executed and a conviction results, a spate of propaganda will results which will contend that the President on insufficient evidence. Unlike parliamentary democracies, which are quite responsive to electoral vissitudes, and change leaders in response to voter whims, the American government is based upon the concept of a stable four-year Presidency. The only alternative created by the Constitution to a four-year term, other than death or illness, is the device of impeachment. It is not a device of repression or approbation, it is the only way to try a President in order to determine his guilt or innocence of “high crimes and misdemeanors.” Impeachment is only a call for a trial by the Senate, which, acting as a judicial body can determine guilt or innocence. Because the President is immune from courts that normally handle the judicial processes, the only way to determine the truth is to have a motion of impeachment which will lead to the President’s trial. To all those that call for resignation that is only a cop-out. If Mr. Nixon resigns, he and his defenders could always plead innocence and claim that he was the victim of a smear campaign, and that his resignation was an act of sacrifice in order to erase divisions in American society. It is a cop-out, despite Senator James Buckley’s call for Mr. Nixon to step down, because resignation would remove the Republican party from the horns of a dilemma. Let us utilize and honor the give the President his day in Constitution court. Yet let nothing be withheld; for the honor and traditions of America are at stake. Every man is innocent until proven guilty let the evidence for no man should be above the speak for itself law. was convicted — — - - I would recommend that S.A. take the initiative it finally meets the needs and interests of the students, even if it means replacing itself entirely! to change until Rick Landman Cant have your cake To the Editor As I have been following the SA budget hearing duri the last few days, i learned that Larry Williams and the minority students organizations have demanded that they receive every dollar back that they contributed through their mandatory student fees.

The students of the Student Legal Aid Clinic feel strongly that the Student Association should take another serious look at its priorities under the present proposed budget. The Clinic is in a desperate situation and deserves to be heard. The Clinic presently employs five law students and two secretaries. Under the new budget, we could not afford to hire such necessary personnel. Because of the complicated and extensive nature of our work, it is essential that these-people continue to be part of the Clinic. Our publication line, which has University with the such valuable provided publications as “The Buffalo Housing Handbook” and “The Drug Law Fact Sheet,” has been drastically cut. Our legal retainers have been severely limited. This will impose serious limitations on the services presently provided by lawyers on retainer with the Clinic. Unlike some other organizations on campus, the Student Legal Aid Clinic effectively serves the entire University Community. The past year’s case load was over 3,500 (more than 60 cases per week). If the Clinic keeps expanding at its present rate, this coming year’s case load will exceed 4,000. The cases the Clinic handles daily include the following: landlord/tenant, drug arrests, shoplifting, insurance, vehicle and traffic problems, and referral services. We operate a bail fund and provide free consultation with an attorney.

Specific actions proposed were: 1. Calling for an audit or discrepancies in past SA budget. 2. Rewriting of current budget allocations and resetting budget priorities. 3. Lobbying with current SA representatives 4. Removing SA representatives 5. Student Investigating Assembly membership petitions which were turned down. 6.

It must be emphasized that this fight is not one of black against white, which the campus papers and other sensationalists have been often portraying. Various different groups have been receiving inequities by the lack of democratic process in University procedures, and have acted on their own behalf and in coalition to gain strength and avoid isolation.

In the process of the faculty resolving their internal political dilemna it appears to us, as students, that we are being ignored.

Student Judiciary responds To the Editor. The editorial of 4/26/74 stated that the 4/24/74 Student Assembly meeting “was cancelled by a restraining order demanding a full audit of past SA funding.” That order, handed down by the Student-Wide Judiciary (SWJ), demanded nothing of the kind. The order “[restrained] the Student Assembly from passing, voting upon, or in any way finalizing the SA budget for 1974-5 . . .” There was no demand to audit or produce audits of past SA funding. A restraining order is issued upon the Court’s belief that “irreparable harm” might ensue. An injunction is issued upon the Court’s belief that “irreparable harm” will ensue. The difference is in the degree of certainty. A restraining order provides at once an to “cool off” and to prove the inevitability of harm. It does not demand any specific action; it is simply an order to all parties of a controversy to keep any matters in question in the status quo. An injunction is usually of longer duration and sometimes instructive. In any case, opportunity injunctive relief does not resolve questions of constitutionality, legality, ethics, etc.) It is corrective in nature; a restoration of equity. It is not punitive or in any way indicative of serious wrongdoing. We place no blame for the error in The Spectrum. In fact, the error may be minor and inconsequential.

Page thirteen �Sudden death Daseoau by Dave Gcringer Last week’s Student Assembly budget meetings revealed yet another amazing revelation. Several speakers at the meetings announced their discovery that intercollegiate sports is “elitist.” Surely, such a discovery will rank these people with Christopher Columbus, or at the very least, Leif Erickson. The fact that intercollegiate sports, according to these distinguished gentlemen, only involves 350 students, makes them “elitist” in nature. However, a check of attendance figures reveals another startling discovery. In addition to the 350 “elitists” playing intercollegiate sports, there were several'thousand more “elitists” who took advantage of the athletic program. The hockey Bulls, playing at home 12 times during the 1973-74 season, drew 1'8,911 people, an increase of 1158 in total attendance. The records showed that 14,648 of the 18,911 were students undoubtedly “elitists,” since they supported a program which involved only 350 students. Surely these students cannot be considered “involved,” since they probably live at Holiday Twin Rinks, and pay absolutely no attention to the game. The fact that they were there on nights when the hockey team played various varsity opponents was surely just a coincidence. The basketball Bulls had a poor season this year (5-20), and a sharp decrease in attendance (which slumped to 2725 for the Clark Hall contests) was the result. However, the basketball squad drew 13,644 during their last winning season, 1972-73. Of this number, 10,248 were students obviously “elitists.” Once again, the fact that they were present at Clark Hall at the same time that the basketball Bulls were playing may be attributed to coincidence. Perhaps they all thought that their intramural teams were playing that night, and decided to stay after they were informed of their mistake. After all, would 10,248 students support “elitism?” Certainly not. It is time to recognize these arguments about “elitism” for what they really are nonsense. It is also time to recognize the valuable service that these distinguished speakers are providing to the student body. They have undeniably showed the ease with which people may be led astray, believing ideas that border on the incredible. If intercollegiate sports are termed “elitist,” what will be next? Should Community Action Corps programs, which involve small numbers of students, be dropped as “elitist?” Should student organizations which do not possess enrollments of 1000 or more be denied funding? This would be as ludicrous as dropping intercollegiate sports because they are “elitist.” Perhaps the intramural program involving 4000 students, and ultimately all programs involving less than 10,000 students, would be termed “elitist” and be terminated. This school could then proudly take its place among the other high schools of the nation. - — — Tennis Raiders blank Bulls on basketball floor by Paige Miller Staff Writer Spectrum HAMILTON, N Y. After the matches against Buffalo State and Canisius were rained out, the tennis Bulls traveled to Colgate to open their season a week behind schedule. The Colgate match was played indoors on a basketball floor, a surface which is much faster than outdoor courts. Unfortunately for Buffalo, there wasn’t a cloud in the ceiling and the Red Raiders triumphed 9-0. - games but had trouble winning them. Parelli told Murphy, “You were probably saying to yourself, ‘Well, I won this game,’ instead of concentrating on winning the next point.” Murphy concurred. Bulls Captain Rich Abbott won the only set for Buffalo all day, downing Jeff Grossman 7-6 after losing the first set 6-1. “I was glad to see Rich come back like that,” said Baschnagel. Abbott had difficulties in the third set, which included twice tripping over the net, and succumbed 6-1. Randy Murphy had perhaps Buffalo’s best performance, losing 7-5, 6-3. Murphy built up leads in many Lack of agreement The Bulls disagreed on the effect of the wood floor. Murphy thought he would have done worse outdoors while Abbott remarked, “What a home poUrt advantage they had!” Baschnagel added: “If I had known we’d be playing on wood, I would have scheduled some practices on wood [in Clark Hall].” All of the Bulls complained that the boundary lines were too thin and could not be seen on the other side of the net. Consequently, the players could not see where to place their shots and had trouble determining if their shots were in or not. Colgate also had the advantage of playing all winter (they are 11-3), including a southern trip. Buffalo, in contrast, has had only a handful of outdoor practices since last fall. (Indoor practices have been used for conditioning, not actualy playing.) The Bulls will host St. John Fisher this afternoon, weather permitting, on the Rotary tennis courts.

It really wasn’t so much of a suicide squeeze, because the runner (shortstop Jim Laiayanis) wasn’t running until the ball had almost left the pitcher’s hand. The pitcher can’t knock the, batter down,” Monkarsh continued. Right fielder Rick Wolstenholme became the third Bull to hit two home runs in a game when he unloaded twice on Friday against West Virginia’s ace lefthander, Dan Dolphin. Dolphin was also touched for three doubles in Friday’s game, and then retired to the greener pastures of a part-time first base position for the remainder of the series.

Buffalo blanked the Field Mountaineers Friday, 6-0, and won Saturday’s doubleheader, 5-4 and 3-1 respectively. Righthanders Bill Lasky and Jim Riedel hurled strong efforts in the third and first games of the series, respectively, to pace the trio of Bull victories. Riedel fashioned a two-hit shutout, fanning thirteen hitters in Friday’s victory, while Lasky pitched his second successive complete game, neither of which has seen the righthander allow an earned run. “I had a slider today,” said Lasky. “I'guess I got a little confidence back since the first game (an ineffective sting at Fairfield). I like pitching on the home diamond, it’s got a good.mound and it’s a good field,” Lasky (now 3—0 this season) added. Riedel brought his record to 3—3 with Friday’s triumph. The sophomore righthander has won all three of his starts since the Bulls returned from their southern trip. Riedel has allowed just six hits and one run in 23 innings of northern action, striking out Two selected to Chartering Committee The Collegiate Assembly has approved the last two faculty members of the College Chartering Committee.

WNYPIRG director Paul Mooes stressing the need for an audit and urging the Assembly to slash the intercollegiate athletic budget, as Black Student Union president Larry Williams, right, looks on. Demand for audit delays 3rd SA budget try; debate follows by Amy Dun kin Campus Editor The Student Assembly budget hearings were recessed for the third consecutive day Wednesday when the Student Judiciary (SJ) issued a five-day temporary restraining order to prevent the Assembly from voting on budgets. The order to-delay the voting until the Student Association (SA) published an audit of its past spending was requested by Assemblyperson Gary Schwartz, also a member of WNYP1RG. Mr. Schwartz asked for the restraining order because he wanted to find out how the money was spent. “We don’t want the structure of these budgets to allow for abuses again,” he said. Before the Assembly can resume its normal proceedings, the Student Judiciary will meet Sunday with members of the SA Executive Committee to determine whether the audit is necessary prior to passing the budget, according to Justice Larry Katz. However, SA Treasurer Sal Napoli is “confident” he can prove that “this year’s audit has nothing to do with next year’s funding.” • formal dismissal of the Assembly, several minority students seized the microphone in Haas Lounge and invited the large crowd to voice its feelings. Third World Vet Hugh Bassette justified the disruptions of this week’s Assembly proceedings, asserting that since “we went through the formalized channels [of trying to join the Assembly] and were closed out, we had no choice but to stay outside the rules and regulations and take over the meetings.” Regardless of race Maintaining that by recessing the meetings, the Assembly was not allowing ijew members black, Puerto Rican or white to “participate in government,” Mr. Bassette stressed that it was not a race issue, but a fight for students to become part of the Assembly. Meanwhile, Black Student Union (BSU) President tarry Williams reiterated the demand for SA to turn over all minority student fees to a Third World coalition. He said minority students would, in turn, pay “their fair share” for any activities and services they use (such as CAC and health care). “SA decided to throw our funds on the Audit underway ground and let the wrestling team Presently, the firm of Haskins sweat them off,” Mr. Williams and Sells is conducting an audit of declared.

There is a constitutional amendment to give the Assembly more power in the Finance Committee. I have spoken to Admissions and Records about getting a form in the registration packet where students can check off their budgetary priorities,” Mr. Napoli said. He added that “this would their talents.” Mr. Napoli later termed the BSU argument “separatist” and revealed that he is “against the move to give BSU” control of all the minority student fees. He was also extremely dismayed that the present SA administration, which has been in office only one make the Assembly and student populace aware of where their priorities are.” “The elitist intercollegiate athletics are sucking off $180,000 Mr. Williams charged. When asked what BSU would do for blade students who “don’t have the same opinioils as you do,” Mr. Williams said: “Well give them back their $67.” Many speakers critidzed the relatively small ($18,000) allocation for health care, and many minority ” —continued on page 2 — President evaluated Ketter draws mixed reviews by Jeffrey S. Linder Contributing Editor Robert Ketter is being evaluated for reappointment as University President as he nears the end of his five-year term of office. Inside and outside the University community, opinions on the job he has done since 1970 range widely from enthusiastic praise to intense criticism. State University of New York (SUNY) Chancellor Ernest Boyer has asked Faculty-Senate Chairman Gilbert Moore, former Student Association (SA) President Jon Dandes, Executive vice-president Albert Somit and UB Council chairman William C. Baird to be members of the Presidential review committee. Chaired by Dr. Moore, the committee hopes to submit its confidential report to Chancellor Boyer by May 15. The first such evaluation of a University president in the country, it will include a documented committee report, as well as an original by each committee report member representing the opinions of Jiis constituents. Faculty opinion sought Dr. Moore has been meeting with groups of faculty members to sample faculty opinion on Dr. Ketter. “There aren’t as many —continued on page 3— Clockwise, from top left: President .xecutive vice-president Albert Somit; Academic Affairs vice-president Bernard Gelbeum;and History professor William Allen. �dp Ketter evaluated written responses as 1 had hoped,” he said. Perhaps one of the reasons for the lack of written responses is that there is widespread discontent over the evaluation committee. Students and faculty believe that all four committee members are actively pro-Ketter. Many feel that such a youp cannot make an objective appraisal: One department chairman noted that the inclusion of Dr. Somit on the committee is “obscene and immoral." In order to get a fair sampling of sentiments on Dr. Ketter’s reappointment, ■ The Spectrum interviewed many people ftom the University community as well as the surrounding Buffalo area, Because of the sensitivity of the subject, most were not willing to have their names attributed to their comments. Others felt that “self-censorship is censorship in the worst way.” Some interesting patterns developed in the interviews. Most people from the community were not as critical of Dr. Ketter as those on the University campus, improve the community if he can improve the University, because “the quality of life on campus is the quality of life in the community. I have reason to be optimistic,” he concluded, Reappointment favored Other community leaders did not contribute as much useful criticism as Mr. Price. Erie County Executive Edward Regan said he favored reappointment: “I've had a good relationship with Dr. Ketter and I think that our relationship goes in a positive direction.” Joseph Crangle, state chairman of the Democratic Party, offered similar opinions to those of Mr. Regan: “Dr. Ketter has created a favorable atmosphere for students to get involved in political activities,” he said, implying that he favored reappointment, State Senator James MacFarland said that he sent a letter to Dr. Ketter expressing his wish that he be reappointed. State Assemblyman Chester Hardt also favors reappointment because Dr. Ketter is “a competent administrator and a credit to the This could be evidence that Dr. Ketter has had greater success in dealing with community leaders community.” and legislators than with faculty An official statement was and students. issued by Mayor Stanley Makowski’s office: “My contact with Dr. Ketter has been friendly Appointments criticized A few main critical points were and informative.

Sate philosophy, while another said that he does possess an academic philosophy; one that is "warped.” President Ketter, said Dr. Allen, "must find the Middle ground in running UB, between a nuts-and-bolts approach and running the University in a visionary style.” Martin Mcyerson. a noted academic innovator and Dr. Kettcr’s predecessor from 1967 to 1969, ran the University in a more visionary style, it is generally agreed. Inability to direct There were many comments, concerning Dr. Ketter’s inability to provide this University with a solid direction. One Hayes Hall administrator said that Dr. Ketter’s administration has not been “innovative enough.” This administrator continued; “Dr. Ketter is a pragmatist, not overly ideal. I would like to get a few more idealists rather than implemented in there.” Some accuse Dr. Ketter of running the University as a “corporation,” saying that the Administration is “too utilitarian, driven to a marketing concept rather than treating faculty and staff as humans.” Dr. Allen commented: ‘There has been an increase in quite overcentralization. He hasn’t captured the spirit of the University.” One department chairman was worried that Dr. Ketter is pushing the University too heavily toward Second Class postage paid at Buffalo, New York.

Some students agreed that pr. Ketter is used to giving Tip service.*’ sciences Many members of the University community favor reappointment with reservations. Most feel that although there are deficiencies, the University should not have to search, for another President. "At this point it is difficult to find a good president... it is a job of many demands and ttw rewards the job is difficult if’not impossible,” commented 6ne department chairman. “The main grounds of support, fqr me,” the department chairman continued, “is Bob Ketter’s work .up in Amherst.” Another department .chairman said that Dr. Ketter “acts with poise .and appears candid, educable and open-minded.” Colleges Dean Irving Spitzberg commented: “Although I’ve been here for only two months, in regard to the ,Colleges, and its problems, Dr. Ketter lias given strong support." The Hayes Hall administrator noted that Dr. Ketter “does relatively Well, considering his situation; He must keep legislators happy as well as the faculty and students.” It is, indeed, an almost impossible job. Many are simply resigned to Dr. Ketter’s reappointment. “We might as well reappoint him,” said Harold Segal, professor of Biology. “There’s too little to be gained by getting up a search committee and too much to lost by not reappointing Dr. Ketter.” The director of a major special interest group on, campus agreed that the “probability of getting somebody worse is so much greater than getting somebody better.” ... “nemesis. “It is difficult to fire a man Dr. Gelbaum because of the [the nature of the beast University)explained a Hayes Hall administrator. “The Administration must reorganize and hope that Dr. Gelbaum gets the message.” like Added criticism Executive vice-president Albert Somit did not escape criticism either. A faculty member said that Dr. Somit is “fundamentally not a hell of a lot different than Dr. system.” deal A good of the praise Dr. Gelbaum.” He said that Drs.

But . interests of the Ketter not be 've-year term. years ago. the University and Buffalo community were at war, he brought peace. Today relations between the members of the University and the citizens of the Niagara Frontier are the best they have been since UB became a Statq University. Dr. Ketter’s efforts got construction of the Amherst Campus moving, despite widespread budgetary cutbacks and labor disputes. He has provided the University with sound management at a time when resources especially money are scarce. Despite community pressure, our Campus Security force is still unarmed. And Dr. Kettcr has recently attempted to step up the University’s Affirmative Action program for the hiring of black faculty and staff. — . - - Concern for students Various examples can be cited as testimony to Dr. Ketter’s concern. for students. For instance, when vice-president for Academic Affairs Pernard Gelbaum attempted to cancel 16 College courses this semester after the term had begun, Dr. Ketter took immediate action which resulted in the reinstatement of the disputed courses. When the Faculty-Senate hastily passed a “plus-minus” grading system, Dr. Ketter vetoed the Senate resolution, partly because of the negative effect it would have had on students. And when student-funded health services were placed in limbo this semester because the legality of using mandatory student fees for health care was questioned. Dr. Ketter allowed Sub-Board to set up a revolving account to temporarily continue services; went out on a limb by signing a voucher for back bills and malpractice insurance; and has asked the SUNY Board of Trustees to amend the fee guidelines to permit student monies to be used for the much-needed health services. Integrity Robert Ketter is a man of high integrity. When he tells you something, he is telling you the truth. At a time when faith in our public officials is at its lowest ebb, it is essential that students, faculty, administrators and members of the Buffalo community can look to a University President who is honest During irty tenure as campus editor for Ketter for a a number of exhibited during the political realities being what they are. Dr. Ketter will be reappointed. The University committee evaluating his performance Faculty-Senate chairman Gilbert Moore, former SA president Ion Dandes, Executive vice-president Albert Somit, and UB Council chairman William Baird can only be considered a farce. Dr. Moore and Mr. Dandes are strong Ketter men, and Dr. Somit’s presence on the committee was rightly termed “obscene and immoral” by one department chairman. Albany is expected to follow the local recommendation and reappoint Dr. Ketter. We simply cannot afford five more years of the same type of academic leadership that has emanated from Hayes Hall during Dr. Kettcr’s first term. While he has brought sound management to the University, Dr. Ketter’s years as President have been fraught with academic stagnation. The decline of the Colleges and the departure of many liberal faculty members attest to this stagnation. So does the University’s failure to attract higher quality faculty. And the general boredom of many students and faculty coupled with the feeling that the University is turning into a are further degree-granting factory indicators'of our stagnant campus. By contrast, the University was an exciting place academically during the 1967-69 Meyerson era. New ideas flowed freely because President Martin Meyerson and his staff encouraged experimentation, creativity and risk-taking. — — THE — - — scheme. Because Dr. Ketter does not make many mistakes, it is difficult to point to instances - Innovation Warren Bennis, vice-president for Academic Development during the Meyerson days and currently president of the University of Cincinnatti, wrote of the tone of the State University of Buffalo during the late 1960’s: “Meyerson’s clear intent [was] to raise the self-esteem of the university, the self-esteem of the faculty and students, and the self-esteem of the Buffalo community.” He continued: “Buffalo raided Harvard, Yale and Princeton. Each new appointment increased enthusiasm, generated new ideas and escalated the Meyerson optimism. The tiny crowded campus barely contained the excitement. Intellectual communities formed and flourished.” Dr. Ketter’s appointees also leave much to be desired, especially vice-president for Academic Affairs Bernard Gelbaum. Through a combination of stupid decisions and regressive thinking. Dr. Gelbaum has provoked the ire of students, faculty and his fellow administrators. Whether it be cancelling College courses, appointing himself acting director of the Colleges, or unilaterally devising his own Master Plan for the University, Dr. Gelbaum has alienated virtually every segment of the campus community. So why does Dr. Ketter keep Dr. Gelbaum in a post where —continued from page where he has acted wrongly. But this University needs someone who will stir up some excitement, motivate faculty and students and revive the feeling that the University is indeed a University; a President to set long range goals, formulate priorities, and create a direction for our University. Although his reappointment is virtually assured, constructive criticism is vital to help Dr. Ketter provide the leadership needed to lift the University out of die mediocre academic quagmire it now occupies. 1— .. budget and other budget priorities.

The strength of the University lies in its students and faculty, and Or. Ketter has failed to inspire these elements towards a “spirit of inquiry and genuine experimentation, a life based on discovering new realities, of taking risks, suffering occasional defeats, and not fearing the surprise of the future,” traits Dr. Bennis has correctly identified as essential in a progressive University. In addition to fhe absence of excitement, there is a real fear among many faculty members that if they speak out or advocate innovative programs, they may lose their jobs. And while tire tight job market and not punishments by the Ketter Administration is primarily responsible for this fcar,l)r. Ketter must bear the responsibility for not dispelling these faculty rapport with people is a must, and innovative ideas a prerequisite for moving forward? Similarly, Executive vice-president Albert Somit, among others, has been criticized for erecting a psychological wall between Hayes Hall and thejnainstream of the campus. A few of Dr. Ketter’s recent appointees Irving Spitzberg as Dean of the Colleges and Carter Pannill as are vice-president for Health Sciences excellent, and if President Ketter is reappointed, he would be wise to replace his less-than-qualified subordinates with men of high quality. Paradoxically, Dr. Ketter has centralized most of the decision-making in his office, yet he has failed to assume an activist leadership role. When he does act, it is often to negate the dubious acts of others as in the veto of the plus-minus grading meeting. President Robert Ketter has not yet considered these new depositions, but indicated that charges were beuig brought against the students who disrupted Monday’s Assembly meeting by standing on tables. They will get a hearing before the Hearing Committee on Public Order in 10 to 15 days and face possible suspension. Meanwhile, the next attempt at passing SA budgets will come on Monday, following the Student Judiciary’s hearing Sunday on the audit.

The bill, which is now headed for the State senate, would also mandate the death penalty for the murder of an individual by a person sentenced to a life term in prison, while the inmate was in prison or dining the period he was not in custody because of an escape. The Assembly approved the measure by a vote of 94 to 51. By specifying the instances in which the death penalty would be mandatory, the bill attempts to circumvent a U.S. Supreme Court ruling that death penalty statutes are unconstitutional as “cruel and unusual punishment” if imposition of the sentence is arbitrary. , by Linda Wagner Spectrum Staff Obiter Supplies of energy as a limiting factor in the planning of land development at local levels: this emerged as a theme of the Erie County Project on Energy and Development Patterns conference in downtown Buffalo fast Monday. “Inexpensive energy can no longer be taken for granted,” warned Senator James L. Buckley (C-R, N.Y.). “We have the capacity to preserve and expand our lifestyles in a conservationist manner,” Mr. Buckley told the conference audience. The Project on Energy and Development Patterns, first suggested by Erie County Executive Edward Regan last December, will study the effects of energy supply and demand on land use decisions, such as those concerning mass transit construction, housing, sewage treatment plants, and new building sites. Theodore Hullar, associate professor of Medicinal Chemistry at this University, is chairperson of the county project. The project will spend several months determining energy costs and developing guidelines for land use decisions which can guide private land developers as well as town and village planning boards. Its sponsors include the Buffalo Area Chamber of Commerce, the Environmental Clearinghouse Organization, the City of Buffalo, State University College at Buffalo, Canisius College, and this University. University involvement Individuals from local government, governmental agencies, business, industry, citizens’ groups, and universities attended the two-hour conference. All were invited to participate on any of the four task groups formed by the project. The task groups were organized to assess the design, energy, economic, and governmental aspects of alternative developmental opportunities. Milt Kaplan, professor of Law at this University, is coordinating the development guidance task group, which will deal with the governmental aspects. Ibrahim Jammal, professor of Architecture and Design here, will act as coordinator of the energy impact task group. Ray Manuszewski, co-chairperson of the project, emphasized the importance of reflecting “all the interests of the Erie County community” in this project. County Executive Regan noted the project will attempt to rectify the “haphazard planning decisions” that have been made in this county in the past, and will seek to help make these decisions “more rationally.” _ Richard Danforth, a city planner representing Mayor Stanley Makowski at the conference, stressed the need for more people to ride buses, rather than drive cars, into downtown Buffalo. He challenged the project to “produce ideas we can use.” High-density living George Tappert, an assistant in Energy Affairs in the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, pointed out the difficulty of deciding how much the government can legally do in regulating energy usage. He also said that while high-density living is more efficient for energy conservation, “we must make higher-density living more attractive if we expect people to want to live in the city.” “The best media to direct the forms of energy growth is through the coercive and reasoning process of well-conducted planning,” said Dennis Rapp, director of environmental analysis for the state Public Service Commission. “Something permanent needs to be done in moderating our institutions,” he said, suggesting that the authority of planning “must be strengthened.” The town of Ramapo has instituted a new zoning ordinance with time increments to control the community’s growth. John McAlevey, former supervisor of the town, stressed the need to “not move too fast,” with such changes.

The four minority Justices William O. Douglas, William J. Brennan, Byron White and Thurgood Marshall accused the majority of “sidestepping” the issue, and charges that theit refusal to hear the case “clearly disserves ftid public interest - - — — ” *. «. .» * - ' * Because he was white? Mr. DeFunis was rejected for the second time from Washington Law; School in 1971, although his law board scores were higher than those of 37 minority students who were accepted. Charging that he had been discriminated against because he was white, Mr. DeFunis sued the law school. Of the 150 students the law school accepted in 1971, the 44 minority students admitted were considered in a separate group, rated against other minority students but not against the bulk of white applicants. A Washington trial court ruled for Mr. DeFunis and he was admitted to the law school, but the Washington Supreme Court overturned that ruling by upholding the law school’s admission policy. However, a stay of that ruling permitted Mr. DeFunis to remain in law school until now,.when he is about to graduate. The majority for the Supreme Court stated that “if the admissions procedures of the law school remain unchanged, there is no reason to suppose that a subsequent case attacking those procedures will not come with relative speed to this court.” This statement, which seemed to imply dissatisfaction with the law school’s admission process’ led The New York Times to editorialize that universities must re-examine their admissions processes and “work out better procedures for the protection of the rights of all applicants ” Legal limbo The DeFunis case had attracted Widespread national attention because a definitive Supreme Court ruling would have had an important impact on affirmative action and minority hiring programs in both schools and industry. Although the majority agreed that the Supreme Court would ultimately have to decide the thorny issue of reverse discrimination in another case within a few years, the Court’s inaction leaves minority admissions programs at colleges and universities across the country in a state of legal limbo; Charles Wallen, registrar at the State University of Buffalo’s Law School, said the Supreme Court “did nothing” and OTB or Governor? Mr. Samuels has voluntarily disclosed all his financial contributions at 60-day intervals during the campaign. His plans call for establishing an independent agency to audit all funds spent by political parties and campaign organizations. The election reform program he envisions would include a form of partial public financing in all state and local elections. Mr. Samuels would also set up a State Board of Ethics to review the investments and tax returns of all major state officials. Transit, not highways Among the goals Mr. Samuels would work for as Governor are: A reversal of priorities from the funding of unneeded highways to mass transit investments; a law which would require that all cars sold in the state get at least 20 miles per gallon of gas; a changing of the educational curriculum to encourage more women to pursue careers; and ensuring the Public Service Commission’s investigation of every aspect of the utilities’ operations and productivity before granting new rate increases. These are all part of Mr. Samuels’ plans for running the State government. Mr. Samuels, a proven administrator, considers his background in government agencies to be the tiros} important requirement for the top executive job in the state. As evidence of his abilities, he cites his role as President of the New York City Off-Track Betting Corporation which he claims to have built into New York City’s “largest retail business.” He also mentions his work as Administrator of the Federal Small Business Administration, where he initiated a program aimed at iincreasing loans to minority-owned businesses by 300 per cent. In addition, having lived and worked in upstate New York as well as New 'York City, Mr. Samuels claims to be'the “one candidate for Governor .who represents both upstate and downstate New York.” — For gems from the Jewish Bible PHONE 875-4265 Europe-lsrael-Africa-So.

All the dissenting Justices noted the intense national interest in the case, depicted by the 26 “friend-of-the-court” briefs filed by interested and affected parties.

Buffalo Law School has no “quota” for minority students and only usually Because Edelstam to speak Haas Lounge to host the leader in the race c Hear the case was really “moot.” Had the Court decided unfavorably for the law school, Mr. Wallen said Buffalo Law School would have to change its admissions policy. But the present policy will continue because of the Court’s inaction, Mr. Wallen said. However, Dannye Holley, chairman of Buffalo Law School’s minority admissions committee, does not feel that a Supreme Court decision would necessarily have been applicable to Buffalo Law School. The University of Washington “did not attempt to quantify other academic factors for minority students,” Dr. Holley explained. UGL initiates book drive to provide enriched coverage by Karen Itell Spectrum Staff Writer As part of its continuing effort to he receptive to student needs, the Undergraduate Library (UGL) in Diefendorf Annex is launching its first book drive. The purpose of this endeavor, explained undergraduate librarian Yoram Szekely, is to enrich the UGL collection with books of specific interest to undergraduates. Working with severely limited funds, the library has not been able to sufficiently stock its shelves. Although the UGL is not intended as a major research facility, it does require additional materials to provide adequate introductory coverage of subject matter, especially in the humanities and social sciences. The book drive will get underway within the next week or so, and will be continued in the fall if it proves successful. The UGL places no restrictions on subject matter, although it requests that no high school texts be donated. Periodicals, hardcover books and paperbacks can be brought to the UGL reference desk, which is open from 8 a.m. to 10 p.m., Monday through Friday. Tax-deductible books Donations become the property of the UGL, which determines the suitability and usage of all materials. As further incentive, providing the donor leaves his name and address, the library will furnish a written acknowledgement and monetary evaluation which may be used for income tax deductions. The notion of a book drive was born in a tommittee. Composed of six undergraduate members, this committee meets regularly with Mr. Szekely to discuss topics pertinent to the effective use of the UGL. meeting of the UGL steering 20 hours a day In the past, the UGL has requested student input in various other fashions. One example is its questionnaire regarding the use of the library’s extended hours. Initially, a student delegation requested that the UGL be kept open 24 hours a day. In mid-February, the UGL compromised by opening for 20 hours per day on a trial basis for four weeks. The results of the questionnaire proved overwhelmingly that the new hours were being used effectively. Therefore, the library decided to keep the hours until the end of this semester and probably permanently. Although such action has proven of considerable cost to the UGL staff, the UGL sees this as an imperative alternative to the severe lack of sufficient study space on the Main Street campus. Wounded Knee reopened Wounded Knee Past Events and the trials of Gladys Bissonette Oglala, Sioux woman from the Pine Ridge Reservation, South Dakota and Clyde Bellecourt, American Indian Movement spokesperson, will speak on Wounded Knee (1973) and the present trials of 130 Native Americans indicted for the resistance at Wounded Knee on Saturday, April 27, 1974 in Haas Lounge at 8 p.m. All are invited to hear about Wounded Knee from the Native American Cultural Awareness Organization.

The view was reminiscent of a scene from a Ray Bradbury novel. Actually, the scene is from the Amherst Campus, and the particular view described is the EUicott Complex as it was seen by Sub-Board’s Division of Energy and Resources who were approaching the site for a tour of the new Complex. From a somewhat closer perspective, the EUicott. Complex became a collection of parallel, perpendicular and angled lines of brick, concrete and glass. As the tour entered the building, the first room observed was a lounge with columns of brick supporting a sound-proof ceiling. The walls, were alternately glass and brick. A cafeteria was the next stop. /' ■ Its tiled floor, brick walls and aluminum kitchen facilities were familiar to those who have eaten at the Governor’s Residence Halls. Next a room which had been built to serve as a library was identified as one of the indoor game rooms for student residents. Part of therecreation facilities will also include four basketball and four tennis courts. Repetitious design Then up a purple staircase to see the rooms where 1200 students will be living lounges and carpeted hallways served to break some of the monotony. Descending down a staircase designed in a geometric spiral, the group stopped upon arrival at a small theater workshop, which will be fully equipped with closed-circuit cameras. The ceiling was broken by a glass-and-brick pyramid which protruded onto the large open terrace which connects all the buildings. The next stop unpopulated halls was immediately striking. The sterile, white walls, not yet decorated by favorite pictures and posters, seemed hopelessly impersonal. The new Complex was not without the repetition of design common to all dorms. Furnished was a larger, more intricately designed drama workshop. The floors and seats were built of polished wood, giving the room an unmistakably warm atmosphere. The lighting for the stage would come frpm platforms built above the empty scats' and an area for set designs was available. Pub and bookstore From there the tour moved into a room which was to be licensed for use as a pub or rathskellar. The pub had the same glass-and-brick pyramid as the small theater workshop, and it allowed sunlight to filter down into the room. Past the pub is the bookstore, which is inaccessible without passing through the pub. This may give some students a great deal of difficulty in trying to remember to buy books. Traveling through a winding brick corridor, some offices were observed. Then the group came upon a large concrete and brick lecture hall/film theater. It was explained that the floors would be carpeted, but seats may not be immediately put in. Proceeding down a glass-sided corridor, a large section of the Complex became visible. The windows looked like a countless series of cubbyholes in a mass of brick and concrete. The scene must have been similar to the architect’s concept as he began drawing the blueprints. For a few seconds, the view was as fascinating as a city skyline as it brings about realizations of man’s capabilities or reminders that Orwell’s 1984 is ten years away. Friday, 26 April 1974 The Spectrum Page seven . . �I TflDITORIAL Editor i Note: to provide a forum for the affected groups and individuals in the current controversy surrounding the Student Association budget, The to Spectrum today has opened its editorial pages former Union, Student Black by the comments Student needs: top priority Spokesmen for minority students at this University have demanded that Student Association allocate their.groups all the fees minus 12% for banking services that minority students must pay. Under the mandatory system, they claim, minority students are forced to pay $67 to a white Student Association to subsidize white-oriented activities which minority students don't use. The logic is compelling; many of their points are valid;but if carried too far, it becomes a separatist argument; one which says there should be two Student Associations, one black and one white. Aside from the moral arguments against such a segrega tional system, many functions funded by student fees simply overlap the color of one's skin: services such as health care, intramural sports, day care, legal aid. and even the room space in Norton Union which houses the minority organizations. As with taxes, every student on this campus is forced to subsidize things he doesn't use. A few minority students may even attend a movie or concert once, and it would be unreasonable to charge them for this, as it would not be feasible to charge them for health care or other services. Minority students cannot get back all their fees; some portion must help pay for the services which transcend ethnic interests. But the fact that many white-oriented expenses are useless to minorities must be strongly considered in arriving at a formula that will channel a large portion of their fees back to the minority students themselves. As for the argument that minority students should be able to divide their funds themselves among BSU, PODER and the other minority groups, the proper channel for this would be through the office of the SA Minority Affairs coordinator. Recognizing that minority students are fed up with whites telling them where their money should go, two stipulations must be made. One, any minority group that does not want to join this Third World caucus must have the option to go directly to SA for funding. Two, while minority students should determine their own spending priorities, every expense must be approved by the SA Treasurer, as for every other student-funded group. If SA agrees to channel minority monies through the SA Minority Affairs coordinator, all that remains is to compromise on a figure that would reflect minority needs minus the campus-wide services to which all students must contribute. The time for pressure tactics and standing on tables is over; the minority groups have made their point; a sensible compromise is now in order. It may have been a blessing in disguise that Wednesday's third attempt at a Student Assembly budget hearing was cancelled by a restraining order demanding a full audit of past SA spending only because the delay may have cooled tempers and lowered the emotional temperature. Nobody is denying the need for a complete audit, but it is foolish to postpone the budgets until one is completed. Audits can show serious discrepancies but cannot explain them; and we fail to see how past abuses can alter the hard decisions on budget priorities which the Assembly now faces. A full audit is being prepared; we hope the Student Judiciary will recognize that delaying the budgets further will only place the priorities in the fewer hahds of the SA Executive Committee. All the groups seeking more money have naturally taken pot-shots at the large $182,000 budget for intercollegiate athletics. But many other areas in the budget are over-funded as well; athletics should not be arbitrarily slashed while other groups are given a blank check without justifying each of its expenses. Each group seeking funds, as well as each varsity team, must answer the question: Does the number of students you benefit justify the amount of money you are asking for? Only the most popular sports teams notably basketball, draw enough spectators to demonhockey and wrestling strate that students besides the team members benefit from their funding. Most of the smaller sports should probably be clubs, not varsity teams. As a school, we cannot be UCLA or Ohio State; we must upgrade the sports teams that do have strong student support, and perhaps let the others compete as clubs or against other SUNY schools. But many non-spectator sports may unfortunately have to suffer because CAC, day care, WNYPIRG, health care and- minority student groups benefits// the students and must take priority. Although this week's disruptions in Haas Lounge has led many onlooking students to view student government as something of a circus, the bitter in-fighting for dollars has awoken many students and placed a much-needed focus on the fact that budget priorities must reflect the number of students served, not interest group coercion or power politics. - — — — — — Page eight.

A budget that would provide for the needs and individuality of all undergraduate students comprising UB. On Monday, April 22, Student Association took its budget recommendations to the Student Assembly. The Student Assembly, the legislative branch of student government, had the job of accepting, rejecting, or amending any parts of the budget it deemed necessary. On Monday, it never got a chance. On Monday, a spectacle took place that made a mockery of student government. Certain interest took over the Assembly that they f been “the shaft." iced ibers of on the Chairman’s table, kicked over papers, ripped up papers, and vocally made a shamble\ of the proceedings. What’s even more unfortunate, these groups did not permit any statements to be made from the people they were Student Association. accusing On Tuesday, the situation was the same. Only this time other interest groups had jumped on the bandwagon to disrupt the Assembly meeting. Again, they did not permit the people they accused to answer their questions: Namely, Student Association. On Wednesday, the situation - ' ’ was the same but the circumstances were different. This time, members affiliated with these interest groups, obtained an injunction which stopped voting on any budgets. This prompted the meeting to be recessed until After the recess was called, the leaders of these same groups decided to take over the meeting and continue with their barrage of accusations against Student Association. Well, it’s time that Student Association spoke out on some of the accusations made against it. If undergraduate students want to hear the other side of the story, then let them read this! Accusation No. 1: “Is Student Association afraid to make public an audit showing where student money has gone?” Answer: Student Association has never said it was afraid of publishing an audit. In fact, an audit has been made of Student Association funds from the years 1971-72 thru 1972-73. The auditors names are Haskins and Sells. A full disclosure will made public as soon as they us an itemized breakdown of where any possible discrepancies lie. A causation No. 2: “The members of the Student Association have been ripping off stipends.” Answer: Each and every member of Student Association did not undertake 'their positions for the sheer fun of it. Being a member of Student Association is more than a full-time job. Yes, more than a full-time job that requires all of its members to spend many hours working in the SA office. It must be understood that each and every member has the job of representing all the students and the clubs they belong to. Problems with the North Campus, the Athletic Bubble, a Pub, Health Care, Athletics, etc., etc. all of these are being constantly worked on by all the members. Student Association has the job of being on top of these situations twenty-four hours a day. The money is not the reward we get from working up here. That reward is a personal satisfaction that every hour we spend up here is benefiting all students. We try our hardest to listen to all students and their demands. And clearly, if more students gave a damn about our work up here, perhaps we could do our job that much better. Taking our stipends away would be the ultimate slap in the face to those people who are trying to do a damn good job for all students at UB. \ Accusation No. 3: “The elitists in the Student Association have recommended a budget with students by collecting - warped priorities!” CORUTION The outcome of each of the recent Student Assembly meetings was a student protest against the priorities manifested in the SA budget. This protest by minority and community-oriented student groups has been developing over the past year. The SA budget struggle has been portrayed by the campus media as a racial struggle black against white students. This portrayal is characteristic of our society, where racial tensions are played on and used as a “divide and conquer” tactic. The UB Administration is pushing this tactic (as did Jon Dandes’ SA Administration), because as long as students on this campus are divided, no movement to make substantial change in university policy can develop and grow. Everyone involved must recognize the special burden that minority students have had to face historically. The SA budget reflects the UB Administration’s policy: it demonstrates a grave lack of awareness of this burden and serves to further divide students. We must not allow the SA budget struggle to become an issue where groups are divided along racial lines. We must see it as an issue of the priorities of this university, which financially cut back and politically destroy all progressive elements on campus. We implore white groups to continue to visibly fight the cutbacks of those programs. We implore white groups not to blend into the “white woodwork” and not to let the Black Student Union be the focal point of attacks. All, progressive elements must fight to clarify the issue at hand an issue which is not black vs. white, but reactionary policy vs. progressive change. We ask the SA delegates to seriously consider the issues and to ensure that the demands of BSU, CAC, WNYPIRG, etc. are not isolated. These organizations create the possibility for students to use their student fees for meaningful cultural and social activities, especially in the case of minority students who have traditionally been students denied access to social, political, and economic resources. We ask further that the SA delegates place a high priority on organizations such as Health Care, - — - Day Care, Legal Aid, Sunshine House, etc. We feel that all these organizations are supported by and give service to many more students than the organizations in the Athletic Department, and thus deserve to be given a much higher priority in the SA budget allocations. At the recent SA meetings, it was clearly demonstrated that there is widespread support for these views. However, in its present form, the SA represents only a small portion of the student body and is not responsive to these views. If the present budget is to be determined in a manner which reflects the prevailing student sentiment, the SA must be made open to constituencies which have so far been unrepresented. This must happen before the SA budget is determined. These groups do want to be part of the SA and have failed to obtain representation in the past because of either inadequate information, or misunderstanding about the proper procedures, or a lack of faith in the SA due to the ineffectiveness that previous SA’s have shown in dealing with the issues that concern these groups, or unfulfilled promises from student government that the needs of their organization would be met. These are certainly poor reasons for denying access to these groups at this point. In fact, SA should view this as a good opportunity to change itself into a body which is more representative of student viewpoints. If SA could then, with the help of these groups, make concerted efforts to deal with the issues of minority rights, consumer and community action, health care and day care, this broad representative body would not be one that functioned only at budget time and would begin to become a truly effective student organization. As an important first step towards ameliorating the divisive atmosphere that now exists, we feel that the SA should recognize the trying circumstances that led to the actions at Monday’s Assembly meeting and support the people who have had depositions filed against them in any way possible. Community/University Coalition Answer: This Student Association entered government daring a critical financial period. It had to sit down with some very real facts before it made the budjet. They were: (1) More clubs had formed and wanted money from SA; (2) Student Association lost its $70,000 reserve funds when it was used by last year’s administration to pay off SA’s $100,000 deficit; (3) Student Association had a $25,000 debt. This debt must be cleared off its ledger, according to a SUNY central attorney in Albany. (4) A very real inflationary spiral of 15% in supplies for all organizations had to be compensated for; (S) a unified budget had to be prepared that would reflect the individual needs of all students. To the best of its ability, SA listened to all groups and later, recommended an equitable and unified budget. The input was there from all groups. Nobody was left out. We were not elitists. If the students did not like the recommendations of the finance committee, they could change whatever they wanted in the Student Assembly. Unfortunately, the Student Assembly wasn't permitted to hear the budget. There are many more unsubstantiated accusations leveled at those people working in Student Association. We at Student Association would ask all students to keep their minds open until we have been given a chance to speak out on them. A great place to hear our responses will be at Monday’s Student Assembly meeting at 4 p.m. in Haas Lounge. Hopefully, ALL groups will give tell our side. us the chance to Sudden death by Dave Geringer Sports Editor For the umpteenth consecutive year, the funding of athletics has been attacked. While the use of student fees for athletics is a much less desirable situation than the state’s funding of sports, the budget must be worked out within the framework of the present situation. It is very easy to stand up in front of the Student Assembly and take cheap shots at the Athletic Department’s allocation of $241,699.82. It is a comparatively simple task, when one desires greater funding for another group, to say; “Why should $240,000 go to athletics?” It is a far more difficult job to read and reread each budget, holding the responsibility for the allocation of each budget, as does the Finance Committee. Yet, year after year, there are those who will stand up in front of an Assembly meeting, cry out for a cut in athletic funding, and be applauded loudly. It is absurd for people to take figures out of the air and immediately decide that they are too large or small. The question, “Don’t you think $240,000 is too large an allocation for sports?” only conveys the ignorance of the questioner, who apparently decides budgets by some magical formula, utilizing only the sound of numbers, rather than hours of reading, rereading and hard decision-making. People who believe the Athletic Department’s allocation of $240,000 represent an increase in intercollegiate sports funding should take a second look. Due to the building of the Amherst Campus bubble facility for recreation and intramurals, an increase of $15,000 is required. A law passed by Congress mandating equal funding for women’s sports requires that those programs receive an increase of approximately $10,000. Taking into account an inflationary increase of $10,000, the Athletic Department would receive an allocation of $252,000 if all other programs were maintained at the same level as they were this year. However, the allocation called for was approximately $11,000 less than that figure. Is that an increase? Obviously, there must be direction in the Athletic Department to determine where future priorities will lie. Should sports such as baseball, wrestling, hockey and basketball, which could bring in more money once the move to Amherst is completed and repay some of their allocation in the form of income, be improved? Or should sports such as crew be granted varsity status, bringing the ultimate effect of dragging down the level of all of the programs to the same status? Perhaps a freeze on the granting of varsity status to any sport in the future until stability in the athletic program is achieved would be a temporary solution. Friday, 26 April 1974 The Spectrum Page nine . . - �Guest Opinion by David Richman assistant director Student Legal Aid CUnlc Guest Opinion Editor’s Note: Richard A. Siggelkow, the Administration's vice-president for Student.Affairs, indicates that his views relative to voluntary/mandatory fees remains unchanged since his attached statement that appeared in the March 14. 1973 issue ofSASU’s Update. If anything, his opposition to the present mandatory fee system is "reinforced, because of the significant amount of money to be allocated (now approaching $1,000,000) and the increasing tendency toward divisiveness and pressure tactics on the part of short-lived student groups competing for financial support. ” by Richard A. Siggelkow Vice-President for Student Affairs The following personal opinion should be preceded by the generally adequate and noble performance of student leaders, who should be commended for their remarkable attempts to operate under the present idiotic mandatory fee system. What other organization in modern society enjoys the privilege of assessing a tax and disbursing revenues without interference, while at the same time calling on another, somewhat unrelated body, to collect that tax, enforce payment, and impose penalties for non-payment? Major concerns about activity fee expenditures revolve around lack of “guidelines” clarity, an individual student’s inability to be involved in financial decision, effective intimidation by special interest groups even when concern exists about the appropriateness of certain allocations student difficulties in facing up to real accountability and responsible action, inadequate managerial experience, limited financial sophistication, and lack of effective recourse for the individual student who, on principle does not desire to participate. If the intent of the SUNY Trustees was to encourage student leaders to recommend expenditures without properly investigating how these monies are ultimately expended, the present system is truly a great success. The entire situation is complicated by lack of continuity from one short-lived government to the next. Present “guidelines” are so ambiguous that any first year Law student could drive a truck through them. And, unless payment is waived for reasons of personal hardship, the institution is placed in the untenable position of having to withhold registration of any student who, in good conscience, sincerely desires not to support certain programs, this is tantamount to expulsion, and the penalty should at least fit the crime. Continued attendance should not be dependent on such payment. And, whether acknowledging — — Page ten THe Spectrum Friday, 26 April 1974 . . they like it or not, students are now virtually committed to a four (!) year period of such expenditures, sincere there is no present requirement for an annual referendum procedure. Students, rightly concerned about “graft" in the external world, should be especially alert about alleged personal long distance calls, cocktails for guest speakers (and students), travel expenses, expensive radio and camera equipment, that may be legally written off as “lost” all on their money. Perhaps it requires too much courage for student government leaders to justify decisions that are sometimes influenced through fear, harrassment, and intimidation by special interest groups, even when these are now always — truly representative of any homogeneous constituency. Reqpmmended expenditures should directly benefit the university community and members of the student body who supply the financial resources, and for whom this strange system was originally designed; these monies are not for-personal use, nor should they be allocated to outside groups and programs not directly related to the institution proper. Furthermore, what wonderful things would disappear if student fees became voluntary? Name them. Now ask, what would really result from the elimination or reduction of such programs? Truly worthwhile activities would still gain support from interested individuals. Organizations would function even more efficiently with sincere student input and commitment, their leaders no longer lethargically counting on automatic survival through mandatory fees. This would also do wonders to improve the student press, which could then be supported entirely through advertising revenues and voluntary support. The eventual result might well be true independence and journalistic freedom, even from student government constraints. Unfortunately, student fees apparenty support too many ongoing programs, including athletics, at all SUNY units. Such budgetary relationships make it too easy to compromise values. A strange form of hypocrisy exists. Administrators, like students, don’t always want to admit any such interdependent relationship between student fees and certain ongoing institutional activities. If out-of-class experiences are part of the educational process, the state ought to provide necessary support for such programs. In fact, inter-collegiate athletics, often criticized by many student leaders, are one primary reason why the present peculiar system has survived as long as it has. If the state supported sdch endeavors as it should, to use a student rationale the present fee system would not long survive. For that matter, if most students and faculty really do not want to support athletics, why should any educational institution keep them going? Voluntary assessments, in my opinion, would still provide sufficient opportunities to develop necessary educational enrichment programs. At least, some important educational principles involved in learning how to defend, support, and sell one’s ideas under the voluntary fee structure could well outweigh any resulting curtailment of existing programs. An established formula, perhaps through regular tuition charges, to maintain desired programs is preferable to the present form of insanity, especially if there were reassurance that monies thus collected would be returned to each SUNY unit on a proportionate basis. — — �„ 't . ■ LSD experimenter is alive and Yes, Ken Kesey is alive and, as he told the crowd in the Buffalo State Union Social Hall Tuesday night, better than ever. A volunteer subject for th*. first experiments with LSD at Stanford University about a decade ago, Kesey went oji to epitomize the consciousness of a whole generation of drug users and flower children. He and his band of Merry Pranksters and assorted hangers-on, including Augustus Owsley Stanley and a new band which called itself the Grateful Dead, were immortalized by Tom Wolfe in his best-seller The Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test. Today, Kesey still talks of his old friends, still "sits around the kitchen table with Baba Ram Dass, solving the universe's problems" but he does it surrounded by a wife, children, and sixty acres of farmland in Pleasant Hill, Oregon, where he attends PTA meetings and coaches the high school wrestling — team. The authjbr of Sometimes a Great Notion and One Flew the Cuckoo's Nest (which ranks with Joseph Heller*; Catch-22 as one of the definitive modern American statements on the insanity of the "sane") started the evening by reading several selections from his own and his.friends' poetry. ("Im not a poet," he explained and he isn't a liar either "but a lot of times I get up in the morning and I'm not into writing a novel.") Ovtif - — Pleasant Hill heavy He reminisced a little and explained his present position, which is that of a "community heavy" in Pleasant Hill ("where I feel the action is"). But the main focus of Kesey's talk was on the politics of ecology and "the protein crisis, which is coming fast" (be gives it 10 to 14 months), the importance of which he has been emphasizing and re-emphasizing at colleges all over the country in the past few months. "We're up to our armpits and we've got to stop!" Kesey in superfluousnesc, announced, adding: "Just look at the size of these speakers, man. You'd think I was Jerry Garcia." He sees this as the most critical problem ever faced by humankind. ("A year ago, I would have said mankind," he admitted.) "It's like having gangrene in one leg we have to cure that leg or we wilt die." Responding to the fatalistic remarks of some of his audience, he insisted that "there is a possible future ... and our worst enemy is our pessimism." Optimism is the main weapon right now of the Bend in the River Control, an organization based in Bend, Oregon and dedicated to exploring "possible directions for the next 25 years" which Kesey is helping to form. His talk was followed by nominations and a vote for two Buffalo representatives (Andy Elston and Mike Lowdon were the eventual choices) to attend the Council's July 4 conference in Bend. Convinced that "our problem comes" from believing that there is someone smart enough to lead us," he is recruiting as many delegates across the country as the grant-and-donation-funded Council can support to broaden our base of ecologically-minded leadership. Kesey admits that the Bend Council's aims are extremely vague, but sees that as an asset which will result in a more open-minded membership. As far as anyone knows now, the delegates' only job will be reporting back to interested Buffalonians after the conference. What happens after that may well determine what ultimately happens to all of us; Ken Kesey refuses to allow us to ignore that most important point. R.S. — ' Ken Kesey — 1 Ray Davies of the Kinks: 'greatest performer since P.T. Barnum.' (see story, page 12). m �Henry Gross, the Kinks entourage entered the backstage door. The band now numbers ten, including three horn players and two female vocalists (one being Maryann Price, late of the HotLicks). Ray wasted no time bringing the crowd to its feet as the band swung into a rollicking version of ''Victoria," followed by ''One Of The Survivors." "Celluloid Heroes" came next, a Kink classic if ever there was one, complete with Ray barely strumming his acoustic guitar. But it didn't matter; 'cuz let it now be said once and for all: Ray Davies is not only the greatest performer rock and roll has ever seen, but he's the best since P.T. Barnum. Theatrical flair As you might have gathered, the Kinks have always had an excessive flair for theatrics, and Saturday night was no exception as Ray used the stage wings to full advantage, as well as inducing the sold-out crowd to sing along on "Lola" and "Sunny Afternoon." It was one Kink classic after another, from a totally cosmic medley of "You Really Got Me" and All Day and All of the Night" to a boozy. Salvation Army-laden rendition of "Alcohol." Preservation Act /, their latest album, was also featured as the band ran through letter-perfect versions of "Here Comes Flash and Demolition."

Jewels Akimbo Writer of This Article Progressives, I am sure, would have us applaud director Jeffrey C. Scofield's courage in broaching the heretofore taboo issue of "the Criminal," and in staging actual illegal activities on the movie screen in his latest film What's Wrong with This Picture? To my knowledge, this has never been tried before, but Mars Bar wrappings, it can do nothing but cheapen a movie and bolster the already-flagging of America held by foreign critics and peopfS. This is especially inappropriate when dealing with a serious subject. Perhaps', in future films, the director will employ some sort of "clean-up man" if he himself is too lazy to tidy up sets. Grim What's Wrong with This Picture is the depressing saga of two down-and-out SCUBA divers who embark on a desperate, unlawful scheme to "knock over" the local bank. Our two protagonists are played by Orson Welles ("To Tell The Truth," 'Tve Got A Secret") and Cary Grant ("My Mother," 'The Car"), respectively. The two former SCUBA divers enter the bank and make a scene by loudly challenging its president. 'This bank," Welles announces, "is a crackerbox!" "Anyone could set up housekeeping in your vault," Grant continues, "coming and going as he pleased." Glancing nervously at the bank's patrons, the president agrees to the test our heroes propose. "By tomorrow morning," Welles says, "anything could get into your bank vault." 'That's impossible," says the bank president, played by newly-discovered Goucho Marx, shy twin brother of humorist Groucho Marx, "our vault is impregnable, though all our tellers are pregnant." "If that is the case," Grant shouts, "then let us each choose one thing. If these three things are in the vault by tomorrow morning, you will pay my tactful experimentation does not itself make for good cinema. And this is as true today as it was in Shakespeare's time. Neatness is crucial to good cinema; nothing is more amateurish and just plain messy than Pepsi cans, candy wrappers and unless I miss my guess apple cores strewn around the sets.

If not, we will pay you the same amount." With this, the bargain is struck. As prearranged Grant chooses "a turkey," and Welles selects "Robin Hood." The bank president picks "Cary Grant." "Oh, no!" whispers Grant to Welles, "How will we ever find Cary Grant in time?" "We'll talk about it later," whispers a nervous Welles. Opportunity missed The look of hopeless frustration on the faces of these men is sickening. How could the director and screenwriter. Jay Boyar, have failed to realize while making this picture that one of the two skin divers is actually played by Cary Grant?

State by Randi Schnur Assistant Arts Editor Films that are well-acted, beautifully directed, gorgeous to look at, and really entertaining all at the same time are as rare as they are terrific. Intelligence and box-office success, the kind that encourages producers to let talented filmmakers experiment more than once, find each other about as often. The Three Musketeers, Richard Lester's first film since the run of more-or-less-inspired disasters which nearly destroyed his career five years ago, is a good movie by any standards I can think of; its worst flaw is that it all goes by much too fast. Lester's original film, which runs four hours, has been split into two feature-length segments, the second of which will be released in December. The first half, subtitled The Queen's Diamonds, begins with farm boy D'Artagnan's departure for the big city to join King Louis XIM's gallant band of Musketeers. He manages not only to start a feud with Rochefort (evil Cardinal Richelieu's henchman) but also to insult Athcs, Porthos, and Aramis, all within the space of about fifteen minutes. He finds himself scheduled to fight three duels in as many .hours; when the trio all happen to arrive at the same time and are suddenly challenged by clergymen at the Carmelite Convent in which they meet, the newcomer gets his big chance to show off. — — Room service Finally accepted by the others, he finds a servant and a room. Things happen very quickly to D'Artagnan he falls in love with his landlord's wife as suddenly as he had first found himself in conflict with each of his other new friends. Constance is the Queen's lady-in-waiting, home on her one free night of the week; later, when the Queen's gift of a dozen diamond studs to her lover (the Duke of Buckingham England's chief minister) gets her into deep trouble with Louis, D'Artagnan's rather incomprehensible love for her confidante leads the Musketeers to rush off to England and almost certain death. All of this is played with a clever mixture of slapstick humor and sophistication. Tarzan-like leaps onto opponent's heads are always aimed wrong; Athos, about to split a challenger in half, is suddenly lifted off the ground by a large and unfriendly water wheel. One of the film's funniest scenes shows a duel staged in a tavern by the starving Aramis and Porthos, who has just gambled away all his money. Their swords just happen to spear whole chickens and slash open winebags as they fight, and by the time they leave they have collected a week's — — Stars **** M U)(on Tickets $3.50 students $4.50 non-students & night of performance. - Slapstick and action in overwhelming film worth of dinners. and 2 special star acts (to be announced) Lester's 'Musketeers' The cast is every bit as dazzling as the diamond studs they're all running after.

The controlling agents are the government, abstract ideas, parents, religions, anything you've ever been forced to do or never had the chance to make the choice about. And rising out of the cosmic debris of society are the wholesome notes of music; round, precious, and nothing more than sweet air vibrations, like freedom of thought floating on the environment. Probably the high point in the fight for control, and as a friend of mine said, the greatest year in the history of mankind, was 1969. Strikes against the schools, and the Great War for the open mind. There were even three heavyweight champs out of control, and for all the cynical bullshit said about its heirs, there was Woodstock, where even the elements lost control, and the music took over (for a few days at least). At their energetic peak in '69 was the Jefferson Airplane. They were heavy or light, political or naive, pretty or ugly, or pretty ugly. They stacked their amplifiers and.made music, and if there was a god, they — should be blessed. Everyone who was big then was at their biggest, or if they were dead, they were buried. We hoped that by the turn of the century we'd all be anarchists and every band in the world would get together and make the most amazing music while we could all take LSD without worrying about being reactionary bourgeoisie. Then Marty Balin left the Airplane, and from Paris to pizza, the parallel affects were felt The‘revolution was inherited by people who smile in private, and everyone else shook their heads because the job market hadn't changed to match a few relaxed attitudes. And the music became a customary economic necessity, like dusting off a birthday card to mama each year. Enter the creeps. Creeps hire college graduates, college graduates in psychology, who probe five people in Omaha for a trend. The creeps invest heavy money to further create the need for the trend. And like the under-arm deodorant for the blues, spray-on nostalgia was here. Unfortunately, the world isn't run by 19-year-old, who have my nostalgia, because I frankly like my memories. Instead, the creeps mass-produce a lot of shit for a lot of unhappy people. But for me, what was once fun can still be fun, and the creeps at Grunt Records have their finger on the pulse of my wallet. Early Flight is filled with old Jefferson Airplane, all of it with spirited Marty Balin. There are three songs with the original Airplane, minus Grace Slick, including "High Flyin' Bird," that Richie Havens did so well. There are a couple of jams with Jerry Garcia, but that doesn't mean anything musically here. And a leftover track from Surrealistic Pillow, very nice. The late stuff is from 1970. Balin's singing is full. Grade is bitchy, Jorma plays fine, including that one riff he plays in almost every solo. The creeps said no song has been heard before. Not true. "Have You Seen the Saucers" is from the last live album, and "Mexico" was a single that the President repressed before he lost all his power. But the creeps are allowed to make little lies, or they'll stop producing our culture for us. Today is 1974, but records that don't warp are ageless. Music is always an escape, and escape is freedom, fellows. And if the Jefferson Airplane ever freed you from a mundane day, they probably still can, and most of this album is that sort of slippery sound. Music continues to rise from society at odd angles, and you needn't be a necrophiliac to love Beethoven, or Coltrane, or Hendrix, or the Airplane. —Jeffrey Benson the little big system 399 $ ' We call this a big system because it shares many characteristics of much more expensive systems, but its price makes it little too.

Donald»Larsen, assistant vice-president for Health Sciences, said the Health Science Committee on Facilities will soon issue its report on the present health care system. A preliminary report by this committee has already resulted in the formation of an experimental gynecological program for students. Other programs in the planning stages Include an ambulatory service to be linked up with local hospitals, the sharing of X-ray equipment with the Veterans Administration (VA) Hospital, and instituting a “medical assistant” class which teaches nurses and students to do some of the work of doctors so physicians would have time for more important jobs. Dr. Larsen emphasized upgrading present facilities rather than building “from the ground up,” so the University would not follow the example of Yale University, which began planning a similar program in 1965 and didn’t open its doors until 1971. The Committee on Facilities has suggested that Michael Hall be used only for health care so enough Clifford Furnas College Proudly Announces facilities will be available for epidemics like the recent flu crisis, Pr. Larsen explained. He added that the proposed facilities would be “educational,” and therefore thus geared to the University itself. Discussing the Affirmative Action program, President Robert Kctter advocated a computer study of the hiring procedures and faculty salary scales. “We are in a ‘Catch-22’ situation,” Dr. Ketter said, referring to the fact that he must prepare a program that the Federal Government will accept without knowing what their standards will be. In other business, the Assembly nominated the following people to be Chairman for 1974-75: Nancy Broderick, assistant Provost of Educational Studies, John Greenwood, Graduate Student Association (GSA) and David Saleh, Undergraduate Student Association (SA). Nominated for Secretary were Carolyn Thomas of the Physical Education Department and Martha Manning, associate librarian.

Page eightteen The Spectrum Friday, 26 April 1974 . . Much has happened since the last FSA newsletter was published, and there is a need to bring the University Community up to date. While it is impossible to go into much detail in a report of this length, an attempt is made herein to provide you with at least an overview. BOOKSTORE Last fall, the Student Association undertook a study of Bookstore operations in an effort to find ways to improve service, and reduce prices, to students. This resulted in, among other things, price reductions on several items in the supply department. Another result was a letter written to all faculty members, by the Student Association, asking that they get their textbook orders in as early as possible to help minimize out-of-stock textbooks at the beginning of each semester. The advent of a standing advisory committee, including students, faculty and Bookstore staff, has been proposed by the Student Association and endorsed by the FSA Board of Directors. The for fruitful interchange in this forum appear prospects substantial. �FOOD & VENDING SERVICES The Vending operation can also boast of holding down prices in the face of increasing costs. There has not been a significant price increase for vended products here in the last four years, astounding as that may seem. One area in Vending, however, that can no longer withstand “external” pressure is the 10 cent candy bar, and Vending is finally being forced to go to the 15 cent candy bar. A standing advisory committee for the Food and Vending Services has also been proposed by the Student Association, endorsed by the FSA Board, and, like the Bookstore, the potential exchange of ideas and information appears promising. the formerly separate Food Service and Vending merged into one organization last July 1, and it divisions looks as if the objectives of this consolidation are materializing. The merger seems to be a “natural” since both types of services are concerned with feeding people. Economies of both purchasing and distribution have been achieved. Benefits have been gained from incorporating them under the same were management. They now function in a more complementary manner, with the vending machines being the “silent partner” in places and during hours that it would be uneconomical to provide a manual food operation. While it seems that food costs will never stop rising, the FSA Food Service has been doing its share in keeping price increases as low as possible. For one thing, the current Board Contract price of $320 per semester (for 20 meals per week) is the same price as last year, is substantially lower than all other SUNY units except the one at Cobleskill, and particularly lower than the other University Centers (Albany, Binghamton and Stony Brook). THIS LOW PRICE WAS HELD IN SPITE OF SERVICE CENTER The Service Center provides linen and related services to students in the residence halls, and also to the people attending summer conferences and institutes. The Service Center has done its part, too, in keeping prices stable during a time when there are increases almost everywhere. Next Fall, for the FOURTH CONSECUTIVE YEAR,, linen contracts for residence hall students will remain at $28 for the entire academic year. THE FACT THAT UB IS THE ONLY SUNY CAMPUS THAT DOES NOT HAVE MANDATORY BOARD CONTRACTS FOR RESIDENT STUDENTS. The FSA Board of Directors recently re-instituted an unlimited “seconds” policy, at the request of the Student Association, for the balance of this semester. The additional cost of this service will be carefully measured, and every effort will be made to continue it next year, although this would obviously have an effect on prices. Oh the “cash” Food Service side, you can see from the below that the FSA Food Serivce is still your comparison price food It’s even cheaper (to students only) if you buy buy. best food coupon books, available at most Food Service locations.

The objectives of this centralization were a net decrease in total cost of providing accounting services, with an improvement in both the quality and quantity of these services. Although the operation is having “growing pains”, these objectives are being met to some degree, and hopes are high for the future. In addition to the direct effect of centralizing the accounting function for the Auxiliary Service Enterprises, the consolidation had the very beneficial (and planned) side effect of freeing up most of the mezzanine in the Bookstore. This area is now being used for book display. 1.10 1.25 NS NS- Not Sold The future for the FSA Auxiliary Service Enterprises will require providing continuing services at the Main Street and Ridge Lea Campuses and, perhaps more significantly, avast expansion of services to the Amherst Campus. You already know that these services are now being provided at the two existing Amherst buildings, namely, the Governors’ Residence Halls and the Law School. Next September, jf all goes according to plan, we will see at least a partial opening of the EUicott Complex. (It has been said that the inside square footage of the Ellicott Complex will be, when it is completed, equal to the total area of the entire SUNY Fredonia Campus!) The FSA Enterprises will play an important part in the total educational function of the Ellicott Complex and, of course, the entire Amherst Campus as it continues to unfold, by providing those necessary support services that are its only reason for being. It is indeed exciting to look forward to this new development in the history of the State University of New York at Buffalo.

But these Search for unity embodied in *Pur Contributing Editor Simply, and grossly, the Ta’i Chi exercises are the physical embodiment of Taoist philosophies. They are exercises, obviousl/, in balance and grace (the exercises in this light are very dose to dance) but they are also symbolic for the search for wholeness, for unity that one find* in Taoist thought. The American Contemporary Theatre has used the Ta’i Chi as the structure for their environmental theater piece, Purge, and, except for other work I’ve seen at the American Contemporary Theatre, the piece is quite unlike any other theater production I’ve seen. Under the direction of Joseph Dunn and Iija Koljonen, Purge represents a new movement in theater: away from the simple casualties of conventional “plot” plays, away from the easy messages implied by most theater “events” (war is bad, spontaneity is good, etc.) and farthest away from the simply surreal imagery of those dadaist presentations where language and thought is reduced to free association and nightmare. jaded. Certainly this kind of stai pretentious. Any systi purports to offer a way Theater as process The Dunn-Koijonen work at the American Contemporary Theatre (and I believe this work is the most original and most important work in theater going on anywhere at this time) is interested in theater-as-process.

Purge integrates ballet, music, theater, and environment into the event. 1 do not think I can overstate the intelligence of this productipn. I admire the work that Joseph Dunn and Irja Koljoncn have been doing in Buffalo they richly deserve the National and State endowments they’ve received: At the same time, I do not find it inappropriate to warn a potential audience that Purge is not for everyone. The piece does not address any conventional expectations. It is not funny. The » - an interpretation of life will sound pretentious initiate or to the skeptic. The elusive and hallusinat nature of Purge .is cen sense. I entered the perf< space the way a critic prepared to decipher, d. to evaluate. Like a cryptanal> was bent upon decoding. furiously noted light intensities, colors, sounds and repetitions of sound, odd words, repeated movements and passes in the Ta’i Chi cycle. I found myself giving way, though, midway, to the rare beauty and austerity of the piece itself. Purge is an extraordinary battering of sound (the electronic score by Bruce Eaton is one of the most interesting and ambitious uses of electronic music I’ve heard) and light and dance. I began to realize that the piece is a truly organic process. I mean that the piece is its meaning, that the analytical and evaluative faculties can only come into significant play after repeated viewings. There are certain novels, poems, and pieces of music that — you read or hear and do not understand or understand completely but intuitively respect. You re-read, listen again, perhaps do some research. The poem may be difficult, but its difficulty becomes engrained, it is a difficulty that must be lived with and hopefully understood. Purge is a theater piece of this sort. The theater is a sort of vulgar nothing really hybrid now serious or difficult seems to be happening.

Laing-Antonin Artaud matrix, Indian blood presented sanctifications or Hopi birth rituals only because they were “theatrical”), rather it is ' an attempt at purification itself. The movement upward toward integration, purification and stillness is at the center of this work, it is the work itself. The audience does not only witness, it is placed in direct relationship to the process new definitions are needed for the kind of viewing and listening that are involved in perceiving the work. A good deal of the piece (like the ACT’s presentation and adaptation of Beckett’s The Unnameable two years ago) is performed in darkness. Lights function not as illumination but as significant process in themselves. Sound, too, is not called upon to complement or explain the action (as in more conventional plays where birds twitter outside as a character wakes up to start the day) but rather sound functions in its own, rather complicated system of cycles and modulations. 1 cannot pretend to understand completely what the work is about. The experience of viewing Purge is rich, dense and troubling. The Unnameable presented similar frustrations to the faculties of comprehension, but in that piece one had the Beckett book js background and backbone. This piece is more difficult and finally, I think, more satisfying. if, FILMED IN TODD AO 35- TECHNICOLOR* A NATIONAL GENERAL PICTURES RELEASE ® — April 27 - A funny thing happened to KID BLUE on the way the Robbery He missed the boat and the train....and the stage coach...and the bank. to tJUAB Literary Arts Committee - He was a good kid, but a rotten bandit! featuring Dennis Hopper-Warren Oates, Ben Johnson and Peter Boyle ************ ***************** April 26 - 27 Conference Theatre •Midnite Show# Spiritual center The Ta’i Chi, my inadequate research tells me, is about process itself, the body’s fitting into a process it cannot completely understand but can learn to flow with.

In reality, it is impossible to judge how students (I mean all or even a majority of students) feel about athletics, or about any other activity, for that matter. The - extent of honest apathy among our student body makes it improper for any group to claim that students want them funded any more than anything else. As Warren Breisblatt, chairman of the Student Athletic Review Board, is quick to point out in reference to the proposed allotment to athletics: ‘This is an austerity budget.” Necessary increases in women’s programs and recreation (to fund the staffing of the proposed Amherst athletic bubble, for which certain SA officials are now lobbying in Albany), as well as inflation. actually make this budget far tighter than last year’s. The fact that athletics is feeling the pinch as much as other areas is evidenced by the fact that such things as training tables, pre-game meals, most of the fixed equipment, several clubs as well as the budget line for fencing coaches, have all been cut. (The last cut forces the School of Health Education to hire a Physical Education teacher who can also coach fencing. One may argue that some of these slashed items should never have been budgeted in the first place, but the fact remains that they have been dropped for the first time this year. Despite all of this, intercollegiate athletics is getting to be an increasingly expensive proposition, and one that students may not much longer be able to afford at least not in the style to which we have become accustomed. As a mere question of priority, organizations like CAC and WNYPIRG may warrant a bigger slice of the pie. Ironically, Breisblatt is lobbying with the State Legislature for a bill calling for the State to fund — '\-W ; f j that it permit will it on the grounds justifying intramurals, st udent government tQ more adequately fund r *~- $60,000 burden off the shoulders of the SA. an amount . £ that would solve many of its problems. .. tk .« » *** w that the handwriting is on the wall regarding to intercollegiate athletics: the State Legislature, the only body that can adequately fund these programs, will not.

The future of hockey would still be up in the air, because the SONY athletic conference does not compete in hockey. However, it would mean a playing conference for those sports in which SUNY schools do compete, and that is always exciting. Many of our students are big sports fans and want to identify with schools like UCLA and Ohio State, but without State funding and grant-in-aid, it is impossible. It may just be possible that our students would more readily identify with the other SUNY schools than that’vast middleground in which our programs are presently trapped. Baseball Mountaineers hosted in 3-game showdown Resuming their home schedule, the baseball Bulls will play host to West Virginia in a three-game series this weekend featuring the battle of playoff contenders. The Mountaineers, who annually bid for the District II Tournament, have not been selected to the playoffs in the past few seasons for several reasons. West Virginia, 8-9 thus far this year, comes to Buffalo following a 7-3 loss at Pittsburgh last week. The Bulls were slated to face the Panthers at home on Tuesday, but rain intervened and forced cancellation of the twinbill. The Mountaineers returned their top three starting pitchers from last year’s squad, and they all figure to start against Buffalo. Lefthander Dan Dolphin, who has a 1.33 ERA in 51 innings of work this season and a 6-2 record, could match up against Bull ace Jim Riedel in a classic pitching duel this afternoon. Righthanders Brad Haines and Tom Whitecotton may draw tomorrow’s starting assignments for West Virginia, opposing Buffalo southpaws John Buszka and Jim Niewczyk.

For Friday, 26 April 1974 The Spectrum Page twenty-one . . �»/' w Basketball by Dave Hnath Spectrum Staff Writer —■ Facing a 25-game schedule featuring fifteen NCAA Division I foes, head basketball coach Leo Richardson has signed two new faces for 1974-75, with one in the wings. However, Richardson has yet to sign the big man the Bulls sorely lacked last season. Moving in the local junior college circuits, Richardson has recruited Nate Evans, a 6-ft.-3-inch guard from Niagara Community College, who has signed a letter of intent to enroll at Buffalo. Jeff Baker, who has also signed, is presently stationed at the Niagara Falls Air Force Base. Baker, 6-ft.-5-inches, will enter school as a 20-year-old freshman, and Richardson feels both his maturity and size (as a guard) could be the key to the Bulls’ fortunes next year. Completing the trio of early signces is Nathan Revels, a junior college transfer from Wharton County Junior College in Texas. Revels, out of Andrew Jackson High School in New York City, is a 6-ft.-4$4-inch forward-guard, and adds to the overall size and experience Richardson is seeking to blend with this year’s returnees. “I think the three that we’ve signed will give us the maturity we’re looking for,” remarked Richardson. “We expect these young men to be in contention for a starting position. The returning players know it’s going to be difficult for any of our [returning] kids to make it next year,” Richardson added. Slayton, both 6-ft.-6-inches, finished the season for the Bulls. “With the three boys we’re got coming in and the boys we’ve got coming back, if we can sign a big man, we’ll have the nucleus for a good team, assessed Richardson. Heading up Richardson’s list are Jerry Black and Scott Bobysude, both of whom will be guests of the Bulls this weekend. Black is a 6-ft.-10-inch center from Parker High School in Chicago, and Bobysude is a 6-ft.-7-inch forward-center hailing from DePage Junior College (also in Chicago). Highlighting the Bulls 25-gamc schedule for 1974.75 w j|i be early season contests with Syracuse season opener) and Niagara at home, and away at Fairleigh-Dickinson and Long Island U. NCAA-toumamcnt participant Pittsburgh, 101-75 conquerers of the Bulls last January, will make a visit to Buffalo.

No. 78 - The bpECTi\u M Wednesday, 24 April 1974 State University of New York at Buffalo Two SA budget hearings are disrupted by minority student demandsfor more money by Larry Kraftowitz Campus Editor Disruptions flared up again yesterday at the Student Assembly budget hearings when members of various minority groups angered at being slated for a budget well below their combined request of $88,000 took over the hearings and forced them to be recessed for the second straight day. — — The minority students seized control of the meeting after the Assembly rejected a motion to postpone the hearings until the Student Association published an audit of its past spending. When Black Student Union (BSU) President Larry Williams repeated his assertion that “all we want is our money every dime the minority students put in, we want back,” and minority students began monopolizing the front of the Assembly floor, Assembly chairman Scott Salimando recessed the meeting until 4 p.m. today. Meanwhile, President Robert Ketter pledged early yesterday that shculd the meeting “be by the same disrupted individuals” who disrupted Monday’s meeting, “they will be subject to immediate suspension from the University pending a hearing before the Hearing Committee on the Maintenance of Public Order.” — Stood op tables Prior to yesterday’s meeting, depositions were filed with Dr. Ketter against Mr. Williams, Hugh Bassette, Edward Gamble and one other minority student for their alleged disruption of Monday’s Assembly meeting, in which students stood on tables and shcuted, preventing the meeting from even beginning. Tension surrounded Haas Lounge from the meeting’s outset, when a sizable contingent of minority students planted themselves in front of the overflowing Assembly. As soon as the meeting began, WNYPIRG director Paul Mones, representing a loose coalition of CAC, WNYPIRG and minority group students opposed to the budget, was allowed to speak for 15 minutes. Bitter 4hat the SA Finance Committee has drawn up the budgets with a “warped set of priorities,” Mr. Mones ran through each budget, sharply criticizing the large Athletic Department allocation. “$182,000 has been for intercollegiate allocated athletics, where only 283 men and 75 women students are involved,” he asserted. The crew and hockey teams, “with a combined total of 58 students,” were receiving $19,000, Mr. Mones charged, while the total allocation for campus-wide health care services was $18,000. White a few Assembly members tried to rule Mr. Mones and another spokesman out of order, he continued to list the appropriations of varsity teams. Mr. Mones questioned why $8,000 had been slated for the Athletic Department’s promotional expenses, while only $700 would be given to Community Action Corps (CAC). “It’s time we took a good, hard look at the budget,” Mr. Mones told the Assembly. “Why have we not seen an audit for the last four years?” he asked. “Unless that audit is published and we find out where the money went to, we don’t want September to come for this University,” Mr. Mones asserted. When several people later accused the SA of mishandling funds. Treasurer Sal Napoli explained that the loss of SA’s reserve fund, an “inflationary trend of 15%, and an increase in the number of groups n SA’s fiscal leeway. Responding to Mr. Napoli’s claim that the reserve was used “to overcome the running deficit of the past three years, Mr. Williams said: “What he we had to pay really means is for the stealing of the last three — years.” Budget delay rejected Stressing the need for budgets to be passed by May 15, Mr. Napoli urged the Assembly to review them through the normal procedures, promising that an audit would be ready within two weeks. After he began reading the budgets listed under Special Projects, a member of the Assembly moved that the budgets be considered one at a time, or in seriatum. Mr. Napoli accepted the motion, but WNYPIRG member Gary Schwartz moved to “postpone the hearings indefinitely until an audit was undertaken.” After further debate mostly out of order the Assembly, by a vote of 29-12-1, rejected the motion to table “all budgets and considerations of budgets until an audit was published in accordance with the laws of New York State.” - - —continued on page 14 Buckley in Haas Lounge Dissatisfaction among listener by Richard Korman Contributing Editor “What concerns me is not the vulgarity or total lack of taste, but the fact that something that is deeply disruptive and deeply offensive should be published in something funded out of mandatory contributions.” This was Senator James L. Buckley’s (R—C, N.Y.) justification for supporting the State Senate bill which would prohibit the use of mandatory fees for student newspapers, as he spoke to a large gathering of students in Haas Lounge Monday afternoon. With his typically deliberate New England inflection, Mr. Buckley fielded questions ranging from Watergate to abortion, and was greeted by a mixture of angry shouts and applause. Much of the audience and many of the seemed dissatisfied, though somewhat entertained, with Mr. Buckley’s admittedly conservative questioners views. Supporting views they detest Quoting Thomas Jefferson as a “reasonable authority on the First Amendment and the nature of freedom of speech, Senator Buckley said “to force people to support the propagation of views that they detest is both sinful and unjust.” Asked that since there are student referendums on to determine whether there shall be mandatory student fees, and that priorities are expressed through elected representatives in student governments, isn’t the State Senate Bill “an attempt to legislate what state campuses - students want, an intrusion censorship,” Mr, Buckley replied: by governor “There are whole areas as recognized Constitution where sheer majorities don’t minorities of their rights. The fact that a m; students vote that funds will be contributed willy publication, then creates a situation where by vote that publication can print things with tot. totally violative of community harmony, totally of minority groups within the student body.” “I submit that if there were some anti-semii the outrage would be heard from here to th< Buckley added.

O %/ ■ C/ i I . . „ the drive to repea i the Consensual Sodomy Law include the Lutheran the National Federation of Priests Coudcil. _ '* by Barry Ginsberg Spectrum Staff Writer The National Gay Task Force (NGTF) has been circulating a petition throughout New York State demhn41ng the “repeal of the Consensual Sodomy Law” (N.Y. Penal Code No. 130.38). The Buffalo Gay Liberation Front started soliciting signatures for the petition in Norton Hall’s center lounge about a month ago. They have also canvassed Buffalo in search of supporters, according to the Front’s President, Alan Ellis. The effort to repeal the Consensual Sodomy Law is a turning point in the struggle to achieve gay civil rights. During the past five years unsuccessful attempts have been made to get gay civil rights legislated by the state government'as well as by the New York City Council. These attempts failed because the legislators reasoned: “Sodomy is illegal; homosexuals preform sodomous acts; therefore homosexuals are criminals. How can we give criminals civil rights?” Mr. Ellis explained. Public indifference Apparently the reasoning has been very persuasive. According to Nath Rockhill of the NGTF, only once in the last four years has a gay civil rights bill even come out of committee. On that occasion, the bill was eventually defeated in the State Assembly "by not more than twelve votes” in a roll call vote after it had passed by a voice vote. Ms. Rockhill called this incident a "tremendous victory.” The main problem, Ms. Rockhill feels, is “massive public indifference.” She expressed hopes the petition will stimulate public interest and, in turn, “get the legislature moving.” Judeao-Christian standards “There are really two issues involved,” Ms. Rockhill observed. The immediate goal is to repeal the Consensual Sodomy Law; but this, she explained, is only the first step towards achieving gay civil rights. the Unitarian Universalist Association, and the Nationah .

I believe freedom With these words, is defended.” [such] academic Georgy Hochfield, the new Faculty-Senate Chairman-elect, defended the Senate against the cynicism he feels has been directed toward that body. “Many faculty sneer at the reality of its power and the value of its decisions,” Dr. Hochfield maintained. “Despite its drawbacks, the Senate is the primary instrument for the faculty to make its will known in the University.” During his tenure as chairman, Dr. Hochfield hopes to engage the interests of the “best faculty on campus” to make the Senate an active participant in the creation of academic policy. Verbal chairman Dr. Hochfield plans to “broadcast” his own opinions, which he termed “easily identifiable,” because he finds it "painful to sit through meetings in which participation in debate is slight.” He also wants to see the Senate take the lead in looking for ways of reforming education by making it “more adequate to the demands of modern life, and more pleasurable and rewarding for students.” According to Dr. Hochfield, “students rarely have good words to say about their experience at Buffalo.” Because he believes undergraduate education is presently unsatisfying, Dr. Hochfield said the Faculty-Senate must find the reasons for the dissatisfaction and then turn its attention to undergraduate education reform. Although Dr. Hochfield could not personally pinpoint the causes of the apparent student restlessness and boredom, he sensed that the learning experiences were “too fragmented, impersonal, and did not engage the curiosity and intellectual aspirations of the students in a serious way.” One possible alternative he suggested was offering a program similar to that of a liberal arts college. An active member of Vico College which was founded on that basis, Dr. Hochfield explained that with this type of arrangement, the work is not so departmentalized. Instead, faculty members from different departments collaborate in teaching a common body of material. Dr. Hochfield firmly believes students should be primarily concerned with obtaining a quality education. For this reason, he opposes direct student participation in University governance. ‘The problems of governance and sitting on committees are irrelevant to learning and should not be a major activity of students,” Dr. Hochfield stressed. However, he also feels student opinions on all matters affecting their education should be publicized. He George Hochfield therefore favors the appointment of two non-voting students to the Presidential Review Board on Tenure as long as their status remains ‘non-voting’. In addition, he supports teacher evaluations and student participation in tenure decisions on the departmental level. Educational disaster Touching upon more specific academic issues, Dr. Hochfield called the Colleges “an educational disaster,” for the most part, asserting that they must be thoroughly reformed and put to “good educational use.” “The Colleges are countercultural backwater: little groups clinging to the pieties and styles of the Ws. They no longer have any intellectual vitality,” he said. SASU Three representatives to be elected today to student lobby Students will have their chance today to elect to. the Student Association of the •State University (SASU) and the statewide Student Assembly. Elections will be held today for the three open positions. SASU, Inc., a statewide lobbying group formed in 1970, lobbies for legislation favorable to students in the SUNY system as well as providing a wide variety of other services. These include Purchase Power, a discount buying plan, SASU news service, and special travel and insurance programs. SASU led the lobbying effort last week in Albany against the bill to ban student fees from funding student newspapers. The statewide Student Assembly is an advisory body representing students from all SUNY campuses and is officially recognized as representative by the SUNY Central Administration. Each campus determines whether its Representatives to SASU shall also represent the ichool in the Student Assembly. This University decided last year that they should, a Of this University’s six SASU delegates are proportional to the size of the one is from Millard Fillmore College, one ichool), ' _ from the Graduate Student Association (GSA) and one, the Student Association (SA) President, serves ex officio. A constitutional amendment was recently proposed that would make the SA National Affairs Coordinator another ex officio member. The candidates The candidates, in the order that they will appear on the ballot are: Barbara Ranagan, Janice Garver, Michele Smith, Edward Rosenfeld, William Atchley, David Marion, Andrew Walle, John Sullivan and Charles Goldberg. Also on the ballot will be a proposal to change the time for spring vacation to coincide with the Easter and Passover holidays. Proponents of the change argue that it will allow students to see their friends over vacation. Faculty polled for their reactions have proved mostly indifferent, though some with school-aged children favor the change so they can spend time with their families. No one has strongly opposed the change. SA will not take an official position on the issue, though it circulated petitions to test student response. Because he feels' the “University is not a place for self-proclaimed Or would-be professors,” Dr. HochfieM said only qualified people who have demonstrated “visible accomplishments” in such fields as the arts, science, business and public affairs, should be allowed to teach. He charged that many of the current College faculty are “parasites in the University” who wish to live in the University community and cam money without meeting University standards. College reform “The fact that you don’t adopt the posture of a conventional clasroom doesn’t mean you are doing something important,” Dr. Hochfield said. His plans for College reform include a much more active faculty role. “The Colleges can only acquire genuine intellectual value when the faculty become primarily responsible for them,” he emphasized. He thinks groups of faculty should initiate and establish new Colleges with the help of interested and competent students. Dr. Hochfield said the Faculty-Senate should give the issue of grading matter more serious thought. The Senate resolution, passed at the end of March, to leave the option of plus/minus up to the individual instructors was a hasty decision, insisted Dr. Hochfield, and he felt President Ketter presented reasonable criticisms in vetoing it. Dr. Hochfield stressed the need for grading to be universal; for one system to operate throughout the University. He said grades are only very crude, shorthand forms of evaluation, used as credentials for further rewards. If the question is called again in the Senate, he would vote to retain the present system. Inspirations Dr. Hochfield’s own involvement in the Faculty-Senate was influenced by two events in his academic career which made him realize that “faculty must play an important public role in the government of a university.” The first took place at Ohio State University, where he saw a faculty of “1700 adult professors bullied and rendered impotent by a determined president in a case involving freedom of speech of campus.” “I saw my elders frightened by the threat of authority. 1 will not serve on a faculty where such humiliation occurs,” Dr. Hochfield declared. The “Feinberg Oath” was his second stimulation. In the early 1960’s, all faculty and state employees were required to sign a non-communist affidavit. Five professors, including Dr. Hochfield, refused to sign the certificate at this University and their action was upheld by the Supreme Court in 1967. Dr. Hochfield viewed this case as important in “staking out the legal limits of academic freedom" and vowed to remain outspoken on all crucial academic matters.

Page three �A rigorous but career that’s not 9-to-S Newspapers and fees Amended bill allows students their choice The bill that would ban mandatory student fees from funding State and City University student newspapers has been amended, and may still be withdrawn pending a compromise. Originally the bill, introduced by State Senator John Marchi (R., Westchester),, would have amended the State Education Law to prohibit the use of student fees for student newspapers on state campuses. In its amended form, the bill states that “unless the student responsible for the fee has consented in writing to such use,” his fee that would have gone toward his school’s student newspaper would be refunded, explained a spokesman for Senator Marchi’s office. In other words, if the amended bill became law, there would probably be a check-off box on the tuition bill through which students could indicate whether or not they wanted a portion of their fee used for student newspapers. by Dene Dube Senator Marchi’s office said it is now waiting to hear from CCNY students as to how the school plans to prevent these abuses from ever happening again. Peter Grad, associate editor of the CCNY newspaper, the Observation Post, said that “a letter has already been written stating, in effect, what the college’s actions will be but it has not been sent to Senator Marchi yet.” “As a gesture,” continued Mr. Grad, “the (CCNY] Student Senate has established a review board of newspapers which would provide a mechanism for students to voice their views.” Spectrum Staff Writer Within the past decade, law has become an increasingly popular profession for women, indicated by a 900 per cent increase in women attending It American Bar Association-accredited law schools. Judith is this transition that brought Dean-elect Younger of Syracuse Law School to speak at this University Saturday on “Women and the Legal Profession.” Dr. Younger is the first woman to be elected dean of a law school in New York State.

Jerome Fink, pre-law advisor at this University, recommended a “rigorous, arose s •• a para-legal career without ‘Tirst exhausting every other possibility.” She urged students to continue taking the LSATs and persist in applying to law schools until they are accepted. Ms. Younger described three stages of her career that show “a woman who chooses law for a career still has to make her way in a man’s field.” The first stage was during her third year of law school, when “I made a determined attempt to prove I was just like a man.” It was during this stage that the deans at New York University Law School advised “trusts and estates” as a good field because, Ms. Younger explained, “there are no deadlines to meet, no emergencies, and all the clients are dead.” She continued to pursue a federal clerkship which she received despite the dissuasions “from my chauvinistic deans and colleagues.” Anyone interested in the legal profession should not expect it to be a nine-to-five job, she noted. Rather, the individual should be aware of the commitment required in law, and expect to work long days similar to the rigorous preparation of law academic undergraduate background,” stressing a diversity of curriculum, before a student applies to law school.

In this time, he claims he has gained greater clarity of mind, a greater sense of efficiency due to the lack of stress and fatigue his body no.wexperiences, and he feels much more relaxed. Marian Jocose also meditates, and in the four months since she began, she has experienced a “greater sense of balance.” She says she is now emotionally '‘more stable,” and doesn’t fluctuate as much in her moods. Yet Ms. Cocose comments: “It’s not like I walk around blissed-out all the time.” She explains that transcendental meditation has instead given her a better sense of direction in her life. “I’ll attack problems at their source now,” she said. Scientific; validation These remarks are typical of the many practitioners of transcendental meditation (TM), the widely known and widely misunderstood process advocated by the famous Maharishi Mahesh Yogi. The results of the meditation, much of which has now been validated by scientific studies, seem miraculous at first. But, essentially, the meditator undergoes no major overt change in his or her lifestyle, diet or beliefs. What does occur can best be described as a hew found sense of harmony with oneself and one’s surrounding. The key to this goal, is the release of bodily stress and fatigue, which “prevents people from experiencing life,” according to Carey Bayer, a student at the University who now teaches TM. He maintains that meditation “enables the mind to settle down, so the body can relax.” Meditation is usually done twice a day in the morning and evening. At first, extreme fatigue is often felt, due to the releasing of tension which had been accumulating in the time prior to meditation. Four days of personal instruction are required to learn the technique. These sessions last from 1V4 to 2 hours. Two introductory lectures are recommended before the personal instruction. Mr. Bayer remarks that the technique is “something precious,” and therefore it should be done “efficiently and correctly,” and personal instruction is the best way to accomplish this. - mm ISRIICl! 1 DIG The Guitar •17-ISS4 5 june3'july!3 July 22 ~aug 31 Eicefti«u< kills Inm l*f|i Mi sum prtsus; llttrsry 1 ttl« pwMIcjIs, MMTtfi ortv M- week archaeology se- mester combining a dig with Held trigs and credit earning college courses at Tel Aviv Uni- Workshop two summer sessions zverymaa's book ston A unique After one begins meditation, there is no obvious, immediate change. But, Mr. Bayer contends, using recent scientific studies as his evidence, that a “unique physiological response occurs. Once the stress leaves, people become more integrated, more actualized. It’s not like a do or don’t thing.” Most people continue doing whatever activities they did before meditation, “but will enjoy them more,” he advised. When questioned about the use of drugs after meditation, Mr. Bayer replied that often “there is a natural sense of fulfillment arising from meditation, and drugs may not be as enjoyable or necessary as they were before.” For people who continue to use drugs, he said, “the drugs don’t have that meaning they might have had before,” as a means of escape, but rather become a simpler, more pleasurable experience. In spite of frantic reactions by parents, friends and relatives when they first learn of the meditators’ activities, they begin to accept its value once they learn what TM really is, according to Mr. Gayer. “It [TM] is not unrealistic,” he said, “but a practical thing.” Misconceptions about TM range from beliefs that it is a new religious cult, to fears that it is associated with leftist, radical ideologies. Lucia and Joe Pietras also teach TM and they report that the most important part of TM “is not the meditation itself, but what we bring out of it during activity.” Agreeing with this point, Mr. Bayer commented, “Meditation is not for passivity, it rather makes you more effective during activity, by clearing the mind.” Anyone interested in TM is welcome to attend an introductory lecture on the subject, to be held Thursday, April 25, at 8 p.m. in Norton 242, and Friday, April 26, at noon in Norton 334.

There were “economic catastrophes that could have been avoided if people had the good sense to benefit from experience,” he said.

The curve of “marital satisfaction,” explained Dr. Harold Feldman, descends to its lowest point when the last child goes off to school. At that stage, the mother, who has worked as a full-time housewife, feels “she is out of a job” and may go through a period of critical reassessment. Her husband may experience similar feelings about work, resenting the notion that he is merely a “money object.” Men want to be accepted for themselves and not the money they earn,” Dr. Feldman warned. Explore lifestyles To avoid the inevitable marital discomfort of later life, the couple should engage in important conversations relating to their future at the onset of the marriage. “Differences in the general lifestyle is what people need to explore,” said Dr. Margaret Feldman. The Feldmans then discussed several alternatives to the family structure, including communal living, which they admitted “was not for everyone.” The traditional families have had to change to meet the conditions of an urban setting and must now find new meanings in their lives, they said.

The exchange agreement, signed April 8th between Dr. Boyer and the Soviet Education Ministry’s Lev Borisovich Bazhnov, calls for ten Soviet undergraduates to study at SUNY at Albany and ten American students to study at the Moscow Institute of Foreign Languages. The program will begin this coming fall. The ten Americans will be chosen primarily from 2500 students studying Russian and Russian literature at the Albany, Binghamton, Buffalo, New Paltz, Oswego and Stony Brook campuses. Selection meeting A committee meeting will be held April 26 in which every campus-who has applicants will have a representative present to select students for the exchange program. The name of a university supervisor to accompany the students will also be announced at that meeting. The only qualifications necessary are three years of college credit in Russian and high overall scholarship. Priority in selection will be given to SUNY students, but applications will be accepted from other institutions in the state. However, Mr. Charleton of SUNY Public Relations said: “I will be very surprised if any of the first group of ten to go Gustav are from outside SUNY institutions.” Interest was first generated by SUNY last spring when deputy minister Nikolai Sofinski visited the U5. and announced that the Soviet Union was interested in an undergraduate exchange program. The State University of New York jumped at the opportunity and was chosen by the Soviets chiefly because of its own initiative. Children's theater helped Negotiations with the Soviet Education Ministry were helped along by the SUNY at Albany Children’s Theater Troupe. Six performances of The Wizard of Oz were presented for more than 6000 Russian children and adults at the Children’s Theater in Moscow. The Troupe had a tremendous reception in Russia, and received repeated standing ovations. Mr. Charleton said the students helped set a friendly atmosphere for exchange planning discussions. The ten American students will live in orte of three hostels for foreign students attending Moscow’s Maurice Thorez Language Institute, commonly known as the Moscow State Institute of Foreign Languages. Next year, the Soviet students will be studying at the Albany campus, but Chancellor Boyer hopes Soviet students will be able to study at other branches of the State University in future semesters. Mr. Charleton said there have already been at least 30 applications submitted for the exchange program. He added that at least four applications have been from the State University of Buffalo. will reproduce almost anything. 355 Norton Hall — eight cents a THE RECORD RUNNER HAS THE PRIME CUTS!!!

Some have argued that the State Legislature will abolish the mandatory student fee if intercollegiate athletics are slashed. This danger is exaggerated; and what good is a mandatory fee if one-third of it must automatically go to teams which students don't want to support? Whenever the athletic budget faces possible slashes, the coaches annually threaten to close Clark Gym. But this pressure tactic is as bad as standing on Assembly tables, and must be resisted. We should either concentrate on upgrading the quality of the most popular sports teams, or stop sinking thousands into ventures which are losing student support.

Wednesday, 24 April 1974 . - - and they must be funded at a sensible level which students await the two-day delay if they are not to be surrendered to the Executive Committee this summer. Interest groups must also realize two things: that no matter how much money they deserve, every item in their budget must be justified, to both SA and a veto-capable Administration; and that every budget must be passed democratically by a vote of the Student Assembly. Coercion is no substitute. Racial tension has naturally been running high in Haas Lounge for the last two days. But the Assembly's votes can change the warped priorities of the proposed SA budget. Its members might be convinced by persuasive argument or the demonstrated need for money, but not by unilateral demands for a blank check. We hope today's third attempt at considering budgets can be hard-fought in a civilized manner. J ' The budget that the Student Assembly has failed to consider after two days of disrupted meetings is a package of warped priorities. But the pressure tactics used to disrupt those two meetings were an attempt at coercion and cannot be condoned. The Assembly failed to get past page one on the budgets because a coalition of minority students stood on tables on Monday and monopolized the floor yesterday to support their demands for more money. Basically, minority students feel their $67 fee is subsidizing white-oriented activities which do not benefit them. In a very real sense, they are right. But if each ethnic group agreed to fund only activities which benefited their members, all non-ethnic campus services (like health care) would collapse. However, the fact that white-oriented services do not benefit most minority students must be considered when weighing their budgets. Yesterday's demand that all minority group budgets be passed as one lump sum, though, is unfair because it removes any financial accountability to SA as to how the money is spent, and because some smaller minority organizations might get shafted in the process. But the proposed budget's warped funding priorities is in no way limited to minority group organizations. WNYPIRG, the valuable consumer group, is slated for only $13,000, far short of the $25,000 it needs to function at an effective level and join state-wide NYPIRG. The Day Care Center is slated for a token $1000 or so. Community Action Corps, probably the most valuable group on campus, is budgeted for only $20,000. When one considers that SA is allocating a total of $800,000, where is the rest of the students' money going? It is going to intercollegiate athletics. Divorcing the intramural and recreational funds that benefit all students, $182,000 is being spent on about 300 men and 75 women participants in the varsity sports. While Sub-Board health care, which benefits 14,000 students, is budgeted for $18,000, the crew and wrestling teams, which involve 58 students and few spectators, is slated for $19,000.

W. Navero Hot water: 5 cents To the Editor. Anyone who has ever sat down with an old-timer and has listened to his nostalgic remembrances of nickelodeons, five-cent beers, and half dime movies, will appreciate what is happening on our campus today. From those wonderful who gave you the $.16 cup of coffee, the 2 ounce hamburger, and the $1.50 greasy hot plate, Food Service proudly presents: the nickel cup of HOT WA TER It happened on the cafeteria express line today The sign on the cash register read: “Hot water $.05.” When I asked about this situation, the woman said, ‘That’s right, buddy!” It seems that some students who can’t afford the high prices have been bringing their own tea bags and instant coffee. When Food Service learned about this dilemma, they decided to help. They say that it covers the cost of the paper cup, but when 1 asked how much the Water cost in a china cup, they said, $.05!” “That’s right So the moral to the story is simple. If any of my fellow “broke” students have any bright ideas about !! - - to save money, don’t tell “non-profit” organizations such as Food Service about it. JSUresponds To the Editor. I must express my surprise, shock and annoyance at the mistakes Mr. Colucci made in his analysis of current goings on in SA, particularly in relation to finance and JSU’s role.in SA (April 22>. Ms. Friedler is not the president of JSU, she is merely an SA representative who works for the JSU. From the article, one would assume that the JSU was asking for a $2000 cut in allocation, (from $8000 to $60001, while increasing generated income allowance by 450% (from $1900 to $9000). While this might be desirable, theoretically, the Jewish Student Union is not and never has been intended to be a strictly profit-making organization. Our purpose is to reach out to those interested in Jewish Culture and Heritage, and to stimulate further interest in it through a wide and varied program of Folkdancing, Speakers (e g. Gershon Shakid, I.B. Singer) Concerts (Jo Amar, the Parvarim), movies, Jewish Art Festivals, and similar activities. In order to stimulate $9000 in addition to the allegedly allocated $6000, it would he necessary to charge a rather large admission fee, thus discouraging student participation in these activities, defeating their purpose. Mr. Cotucci confused the amount that we asked for ($ 15,000) with the amount that the SA is “rumored” to have allocated to us ($6109). (The Finance committee has not formally presented the Student Assembly with its recommendations.) The JSU receives such a small amount of coverage in The Spectrum that accuracy in reporting is essential. Misleading or false information is far more damaging than none at all. I hope that Mr. Colucci, will, in the future, ekeft a little more care in checking the facts for his news analyses, and would be so kind as to retract any erroneous statements made in the article.

Howie Kurtz — To the Editor Therefore, the Political Science Dept, will not permit Wednesday, 24 April 1974 Editor-in-Chief Grad hands tied Janis Cromer Managing Editor Business Manager Dave Simon Asst. Business Manager Shayne O'Neill Advertising Manager Gerry McKeen Production Supervisor Joel Altsman — — — first-year grad students to teach introductory courses. Dr. Murdock also states that past student-initiated evaluations of new graduate students have demonstrated their ineffectiveness at teaching freshmen. The reason past evaluations of grad students have been poor is that most of the time the grad - student has had his hands tied by his professor. The grad student becomes more like a technician than a teacher. I’m sure most freshmen would rather have their lab or discussion taught by a grad student who has some degree of sympathy than a more experienced grad student or professor who is so tied up in his research that he has no time for the students. Taking graduate level courses does not make a better teacher for an introductory class. Perhaps Dr. Murdock is really worried that a new grad student can replace some of the ineffective professors in his dept, and do a better job. A Ian Slorna 120 TA Biology — Asst. Jay Boyar .

It was all conditioning.” “Now, Mr. Schreck, you said it was all conditioning. Would you say that conditioning for the Bulls could be improved by the Metropolitan Championships and the Dad Vail National Championships,” asked Uhl. Bull crew Trying to improve conditioning by Steve Lustig Spectrum Staff Writer The next case on the docket is the Buffalo crew, defendant vs. the Buffalo State crew, plaintiff. “We, the defense, wish to show that despite three successive losses to the Buffalo State Bengals, the Bulb should not be counted out of the Metropolitan Championships and the Dad Vail National Championships,” defense attorney Bob Uhl (Buffalo crew coach) said. Evidence from Saturday’s Buffalo State Invitational was then presented. Referee Charlie Fries was asked; “Were you present at the last regatta, The Buffalo State Invitational, held last Saturday at The West Side Rowing Club?” Fries responded in the affirmative. “Would you then describe what you saw, Mr. Fries,” added Jim Schaab, the prosecutor. “There were four squads in the varsity race, Buffalo State, Buffalo, Canisius, and Mercyhurst. It was a real close race for the first S00 meters; it was neck and neck. Everybody got off to a good start and there wasa’t more than half a length separating the four boats,” the referee continued. “Then what happened, Mr. Fries?” asked Schaab. “At about the S00 meter point, Buffalo State and Canisius started to pull away. Buffalo State was really in good form and they went from one-half length lead at the Peace Bridge to win by one length over the Griffins.” “And where was die Buffalo squad, Mr. Fries?” Schaab inquired. Mr. Fries responded by noting that they trailed Buffalo State by three lengths, finishing last of the four boats. Mr. Fries was then excused from further questioning. “Objection!” the prosecutor shouted. “This calls for an opinion by the witness.” Continuing, Mr. Schreck stated; “That’s speculative. I guess well know better after the championships.” Prosecutor Jim Schaab stepped forward. “Mr. Schreck, would conditioning be able to account for three lengths between the squads?” asked the prosecutor: “I really can’t say. All I know is that one boat didn’t look any better than another.” Schreck surmised. In a final note Schaab noted the victory of the Buffalo State junior varsity boat over the Fordham and Buffalo boats. The jury is still out with the decision. The verdict may be presented after this Saturday’s regatta at The Mercyhurst Invitational where the Bulls and Bengals will clash again. Schreck concurs Defense attorney Bob Uhl stepped forward. “The defense would like to call it’s first witness, Mr. Bob Schreck [driver of the referee’s boat],” stated Uhl. sports shorts . Captain John Stranges was named as the hockey Bulls’ most valuable player Tor the 1973-74 season.

Horace Brawley, who paced the basketball Bulls in scoring last season, joined hockey players Doug Bowman and Andre Poirier, soccer halfback Jim Lienert, track captain Doug Lake and tennis’ Paul Parelli in being honored. The baserunners took their leads from second and third, as Bull pitcher Rich Kobel took his sign on the mound. Third baseman Bobby Wells waited at the plate, and drove one of Kobel’s serves to right field. Right fielder Rick Wolstenholme’s catch and subsequent run-preventing throw left the scoring burden on the shoulders of Eisenhower center fielder John Weagraff. Weagraff waved at one of Rebel's pitches, and the lone General scoring threat for the afternoon was ended. Eisenhower became Buffalo’s double victim Sunday, in the Bulls 4-0.7-0 triumphs, as the Generals ran their consecutive scoreless game streak to three. “The best thing about playing a doubleheader against a team like this is everybody gets a chance to pitch,” said Buffalo pitching coach Bob Prorok. “You don’t have to pitch any of your best pitchers.” The Bulls began the' first game with one of their best, John Buszka, and the Generals acted as if they were attempting to break the strikeout record for a seven-inning game. They missed high pitches, low pitches, fastballs, curveballs, and changeups. Occasionally, they watched pitches. Thirteen of the Generals, who were probably reduced to Privates A swinging team ‘They gave me a couple of breaks,” said Buszka. “They were swinging a lot today. Niagara (the Purple Eagles knocked Buszka out in the third inning Thursday) was taking a lot of pitches,” Buszka added. Kobel, the winning pitcher, fanned three in his four-inning stint in the second game, while relief pitcher Mike Klym struck out four of the “scoreless wonders” in three innings. The Bulls, who were held to four runs (two earned) by Eisenhower ace Dennis Chiehomski in the opener, exploded for another four in the second game before starting pitcher Mike Ryan could retire a batter. Gary Cox, who drove in the Bulls’ second run in the first game, doubled home two more in the nightcap to send the losers back to Seneca Falls, N.Y., empty-handed. Buffalo was scheduled to host Pittsburgh twice yesterday (weather permitting), will face powerful West Virginia in a three-game series at Peelle Field this weekend.

Mr. Williams’ repeated insistence at the two meetings for $88,000 was presumably a demand for all the minority student groups: BSU, tin* Puerto Rican group PODER, 1 bird World Vets, Minority Student Affairs (a branch of SA) and the ' Equal Opportunity Pmgram Student Association (I OPSA). He derived the figure b\ multiplying the $67 fee by the school’s I $00 minority students, 12% for hanking m. trading si" \ ices. "Our budget was broken down the It. iter,” maintained Mr. Williams. He objected to the Finance Committee’s elimination of money for secretaries and liavel for BSU, noting that SA pays two full-time secretaries. Mr. Napoli’s “justification for cutting the BSU budget was that he stopped in one day and didn’t see the secretary working,” charged WNYPIRG member Gary Schwartz. it i Athletic spending opposed Mr. Napoli disputed this charge, explaining that he didn’t think BSU needed really secretaries and that travel money was being cut back from all organizations because “we can’t control the legitimacies of travel.” Mr. Napoli added that aside from the secretaries and travel money, the budget for BSU’s campus had actually been .k tivities i* .reased. He also stressed that lie budgets proposed by the i nance Committee were “just a ommendation” which could be red by the Student Assembly. Prior to yesterday’s meeting, mbers of BSU and other Fee depends on teams? On the question of whether athletics receives too much money, Mr. Napoli said the issue comes down to what priority one places on varsity teams at this University. Mr. Jackalone argued that the funding of intercollegiate athletics is the only thing that prevents the State Legislature from abolishing the mandatory student fee. If SA starts cutting intercollegiate .programs. Academic Affairs coordinator Mark Humm agreed, local State Legislators will “put their foot down” regarding the mandatory fee. Complaining about the efforts of some students to monopolize the Assembly meeting, Mr. Jackalone said: “They didn’t allow anyone else a chance to speak. The majority of students on this campus don’t give a damn about finding out about how they can be influential (in the Assembly] through the democratic process. People took it upon themselves to speak for the students on this campus, and by doing *so, they struck at the very existence of Student Association itself.” Direct and indirect pressure Mr. Jackalone said he was in favor of a full audit of past SA spending being published, but did not feel the budget hearings should be delayed until one can be published: “It’s to the advantage of student groups to have their money secure now. If they wait, the budget will fall into the hands of the Executive Committee this summer, and fewer people with decide.” Mr. Jackalone said the most vocal participants at the two Assembly meetings were “an influx of special interest groups who demand to be more influential than anyone else. The most obvious directly is WNYP1RG,” he said, noting that at least they were seeking influence through the proper channels, by seeking to join the Assembly. “The more indirect ones, but most coercive, is BSU.” During the meeting, Mr. Jackalone criticized members of the minority -CAC-WNYP1RG Page fourteen The Spectrum Wednesday, 24 April 1974 . coalition for “not giving students a chance to work together at this University. This is a democratic process in which votes are taken that can overrule anything that is done by me or any other SA officers,” Mr. Jackalone Recess challenged When this.remark met with catcalls from hostile segments of the audience, Mr. Jackalone said: “What’s happened here is that people have started making accusations, when I have not as yet heard the SA Treasurer talk and explain what the budget is.” week’s Challenging last Assemblyperson recess, Assembly and WNYPIRG representative Rich Sokolow charged that the meeting had been recessed rather than adjourned to prevent new representatives, which SA claimed were only concerned with their interest group’s allotment, from voting on the budgets. Citing a specific section of Robert’s Rules of Order, Mr. Sokolow claimed that the six-day interim between this week’s and last week’s mandated, an sessions adjournment. He defined a recess as “a short intermission in a meeting after which you begin right where you left off.” “Six days is not too long; it was left up to the Assembly whether to recess or adjourn,” responded Parliamentarian David Saleh. Just before the meeting’s end, when more parliamentary procedure was being debated, Mr. Williams grabbed the microphone and declared; “What the hell are we supposed to do sit up all night while you discuss point of order, point of information Roberts Rules. Fuck that we want our money.” “We do not recognize SA any more,” Mr. Williams declared as the meeting broke up. “We put $100,000 into this school; we give up 12% of that for banking services and sitting in the comer of the Rat, so we want $88,000.

Many students have alleged that one audit already done reveals serious discrepancies which reflect “money going into people’s pockets,” as one student charged. Mr. Napoli has admitted that the audit, which he said would be made public in two weeks, showed some discrepancies. However, this is the audit of the 1972-73 year; the audit of the last year’s SA will be done this summer, Mr. Napoli explained. Much controversy has revolved around the BSU budget. Mr. Williams has claimed that he came out of the budget discussions with the SA Finance Committee with the impression that BSU would receive $41,000. Mr. Napoli said IS BSU members walked into the meeting, suggested the $41,000 allocation, and left assuming it was all right without Finance Committee approval. minority groups joined forces with members of CAC, WNYPIRG and other groups to oppose the proposed budget priorities, which they see as giving far too much money to intercollegiate athletics the expense of their at organization. ‘The average student is getting fucked by athletics,” Mr. Williams asserted. “The minority students feel they are subsidizing activities Mr. Williams they don’t added that most black students don’t attend such white-oriented activities as UUAB movies and concerts, yet their $67 fee funds both those activities and the intercollegiate sports teams. He reiterated that minority student groups should be allocated a total sum of488,000, so that minority students themselves can determine how the money is used. However, one observer complained that such an arrangement would result in a “power struggle” in which the less powerful minority groups would receive less money. I In protest, minority group members then'began shouting in unison: “We want an audit; we want an audit.” Further attempts to diacuss the budgets were made by Messrs. Salimando and Napoli, but they were drowned out by the mounting excitement. The meeting was recesedl minutes later. • .- ' ‘if;.

LEST WE NOT FORGET Golden Anniversary Bear. i Koch’s IT’S TIME TO REFORM CAMPAIGN FINANCING John W. Gardner, Chairman Common Cause Former Secretary ol Health, Education and Wellare "Wouldn't It be great If you didn't have to take a single dime from anybody?" said Senator Philip Hart of Michigan. He had in mind the uncomfortable, sometimes degrading, experiences that political candidates have when they go hat-in-hand to potential donors for contributions. The costs of political campaigns have gone sky-high. And monied special interests are always glad to meet those costs in behalf of the candidate. The inevitable result has been corruption, scandal and public mistrust of the political process. Today in most districts and states, candidates can't run for public office unless they are rich, or unless they are willing to put themselves under obligation to sources of funds. That isn't the kind of country we started out to be. There are honest contributors who give out of conviction. and there are honest politicians who don't repay gifts with political favors. But let's face it: most large political gifts are made with the intent to buy influence, buy votes, buy politicians. The first principle of free self-government is accountability of government to the citizen. Elections are the chief means through which citizens enforce that accountability. But it the winning candidate feels that his first obligation is to his big campaign donors, public accountability is destroyed. Here are some of the necessary ingredients of reform. 1) There must be low ceilings on individual or committee gifts. although 2) There must be limits on spending these must not be set too low or they will handicap challengers. 3) There must be full public disclosure of all gifts and expenditures. One of the most powerful forces for clean government ever discovered is the light of day. 4) There must be an independent enforcement commission with subpoena powers and the power to go to court. It is shocking but true that no federal campaign financing law has ever been seriously enforced by the Justice Department. Many are now beginning to see that there is one further necessary ingredient if we are to have a responsible and namely, an element of competitive political system public financing in campaigns. Money for campaigns need not come totally and exclusively from public funds. The bill recently debated in the Senate permits a role for money from private sources, although it places a ceiling on the size of gifts. It encourages small private contributions by providing that they will be matched up to $100 each with public funds at the primary level. No candidate in the primaries will receive any federal matched funds unless he or she has demonstrated the ability to raise small private gifts up to a specific threshhold amount. This will screen out frivolous candidates or candidates with no constituency. There are legitimate questions as to the mechanics of public financing, but these questions can be dealt with. The real question is whether we intend to put behind us once and for all a system of campaign financing in which money can buy political outcomes. There is much more to do. And the time to do it is now. The American people are tired of being bilked and manipulated. It’s time to give this country back to its people.

Smith says estimated to be close to a million dollars, has been gathering information from every committee and source tjiat may have touched upon matters relevant by Michael O’Neill National Editor to the impeachment investigation. The ground work The House Judiciary Committee is conducting' the most volatile investigation into the affairs of the Presidency in American history. It will play a major The politically explosive House inquiry into the grounds for role in the course of events that will determine impeaching President Nixon must resolve numerous legal, political and whether or not Richard Nixon remains in office. practical questions. The legal questions revolve around the nature of "We are the ones who will make the decisions as to impeachable offenses; the political issue is whether a “no” vote on the material that is pertinent to the [impeachment] impeachment is not political suicide in a Watergate-racked election investigation, not the President and not Mr. St. year; and the practical question is whether public opinion will suport Clair,” said Representative Henry P. Smith (R., Congress on its ultimate determination as to whether Mr. Nixon should Tonawanda). ‘This may wind up in a giant confrontation, even though everybody hopes that it remain in the Presidency. Because he is not running for re-election, House Judiciary won’t. We are in a position now where we can devise Committee member Henry P. Smith, a Tonawanda Republican, is in a the machinery for investigation that will be unique position to reach a rational decision on impeachment without aceptable to both the committee and to the White being distracted by political pressures. But he freely admits that House.” Mr. Smith, a ten-year veteran in the House and Democratic victories in the recent.special Congressional elections have given Republicans nightmares of a Democratic-dominated Congress. currently a member of the House Judiciary There is “no doubt” that campaigning Republicans would be better off Committee investigating the grounds for impeaching with Vice-President Gerald Ford in the White HOuse, Mr. Smith President Nixon, was in Buffalo last weekend and observed, and he did not discount the effect of this on impeachment took time out from a busy schedule to discuss the by HowieKurtz Editor-inChief done by the investigators has enabled the committee members to determine exactly what material they will' need to continue their investigation. It is because of the accuracy that the House will succeed in getting the material it needs. When the original request for tapes was sent to the White House, it was refused on the grounds that the request was so vague that they didn’t know what the committee was asking for. Through careful investigation, Mr. Smith explained, the committee was able to rephrase its request and “particularize” specifically which tapes it wanted. “I was prepared to vote against the issuance of a subpeona after the first request was denied, because the catch-all provision was almost impossible to comply with,” Mr. Smith said. “When we requested the exact tapes that we needed, it was a different story, and after attempts at negotiating failed, we agreed that the proper thing to do was to issue the subpeona.” [The committee vote was 33-3.] The question of national security information being on the tapes, and the possibility of prejudicing the cases of other Watergate defendants, has been a major stumbling block to the impeachment investigation. It now appears that the committee is determined to go ahead in spite of the President’s warnings on these issues. “Most of us on the committee feel have an overriding constitutional responsibility in this matter, and we have to be the judges of what is relevant and what is not, what is damaging to third parties and what is not.” Mr. Smith asserted. “If the President or Mr. St. Clair says, Tn that particular conversation we weren’t talking about anything you are interested in.’, I don’t think the committee is ready to take their word for it,” said Mr. Smith. “I think we will insist on some machinery whereby our counsel or Mr. Rodino and Mr. Hutchinson, the ranking members of the Committee, can listen to the tapes and decide for themselves whether they are relevant to the inquiry.” votes. ‘No’ could be suicide If the House Judiciary Committee recommertds impeachment, Mr. Smith firmly believes that “the House will definitely vote to impeach in this, an election year.” With every merpber of the House running for re-election, a “no” vote on impeachment could send many Representatives to an early retirement from politics. Additionally, as Mr. Smith pointed out, for a Representative to vote for impeachment is a “safe” vote, since he can claim that he wanted the President to get a fair trial before the Senate to clear the air about his guilt or innocence. If that Senate trial materializes, Mr. Smith believes that “public demand for TV” will “probably” mean it will be televised. One thing is certain: the House committee does not intend to let President Nixon or his lawyers determine what evidence is relevant to the impeachment inquiry. Mr. Smith considered the committee’s first request for White House tapes to be a “catch-all,” for which he could not support a subpeona; but now that staff research has enabled his committee to “particularize” its requests for 42 specific tapes of conversations, he joined with the 33—3 majority two weeks ago in voting to subpeona the eivdence (the White House has until Thursday to respond). But the committee will not allow Mr. Nixon or his lawyers to determine what evidence is relevant the committee counsel or ranking Representatives Rodino and Hutchinson must hear any questionable evidence and decide for themselves, Mr. Smith insisted. — Scope of impeachable offenses If Mr. Nixon does not fully comply with the subpoena, Mr. Smith conceded that the House could not.very well arrest him. Many contend that the President’s failure to comply would be added to the list of impeachable offenses; Mr. Smith believes the negative public reaction which would result if Mr. Nixon withheld evidence would definitely influence the impeachmant vote in Congress. The committee would be reluctant to go to court, the Republican Representative observed, because bringing in the judiciary might cloud the House’s claim of undisputed authority in an impeachment investigation. But the most vital questions the committee must resolve revolve around the nature of an impeachable offense and the scope of Presidential accountability. Mr. Smith feels the committee will exclude such offenses as the secret bombing of Cambodia, claiming that key members of Congress were informed, and the illegal impoundment of Congressional funds, noting that many Presidents have committed similar acts. The inquiry will focus on Watergate and related crimes, Mr. Smith insisted, conceding that such acts as the Ellsberg break-in, the 1970 plan for bugging and burglarizing political dissidents, and the illegal wiretaps, contributions and harassment of the 1972 Presidential campaign would qualify as “related” crimes. Illegal and impeachable Politically, it would be easier for the House to win public support for impeaching President Nixon on these clearly illegal, and therefore impeachable, grounds. So while a variety of constitutional scholars have argued that an act need not be a criminal act for it to be an impeachable offense merely a serious abuse of Presidential power political reality dictates that the House focus on acts both impeachable and criminal. The need for the public to,perceive the inquiry as “fair” and not partisan also prompted committee Republicans, including Mr. Smith, to fight for a role in the inquiry for Presidential counsel James St. Clair, which will include his being present when the evidence is presented and a “limited” right to cross-examine witnesses. “Obstruction of justice is the best impeachable offense,” asserted — — —continued on page 9— St. Clair’s role A major step made by the committee toward facilitating the continuance of the investigation was to permit the President’s counsel, James St.Clair, to sit in on the presentation of evidence to the committee. “The President’s attorney will be in the —O’Neill chamber when the evidence is presented, he will be allowed to make a statement on the specific evidence which was presented after the hearings end, and will developments that have led to the present be entitled to call witnesses on the President’s behalf controversy surrounding the investigating, and to and to a limited extent cross-examine them,” speculate on both the implications of the explained Mr. Smith. The upcoming deliberations of the House impeachment process and the possible direction that Judiciary Committee have attracted intense the inquiry may take. The committee has issued a subpeona to attention from all across the country, and many President Nixon, calling for 42 tapes of interesting questions have been raised. Mr. Smith conversations made approximately a year ago surmised the importance of his committee’s between Mr. Nixon and his closest advisors. The investigation: “If we recommend impeachment, I White House has until Thursday to comply with the cannot foresee the House going against the demands or face possible recriminations. “We can recommendation in this, an election year. They can enforce the subpeona,” said Mr. Smith. “There are go back to their districts saying that they have done what they could, and the decision is now up to the two alternative-approaches. The committee can ask the House to vote on holding Mr. Nixon in contempt Senate.” Mr. Smith, who is not running for and direct the Sergeant at Arms to arrest him.” re-election, conceded that the pressure of having to Congressman Smith qualified the statement by face the electorate is something that every member adding: “This alternative doesn’t sound too of the House who hopes to return for the next productive when you consider that it is the President session is acutely aware of.

The Assembly has not rejected the other five recommendations, but is waiting for an additional two faculty names to consider. The two names have riot yet been disclosed, but Irving Spitzberg, dean of the Colleges, assumes they will both be women. Dr. Spitzberg said the delay in revealing the names “does not indicate any real problem,” but is just a matter of sorting things out. The Reichert Prospectus for the Colleges requires 12 regular voting members on the Charter Committee: six faculty members mutually approved by the Faculty-Senate and the Collegiate Assembly; one member from the Academic Affairs Council, chosen by that council; two undergraduate students picked by the Student Association (SA); one graduate student chosen by GSA; and two Collegiate Assembly by calling for President Nixon's resignation. All members chosen by that body. The names approved by the Assembly are History professor Harry members of the University and Buffalo communities Larry Green, professor of Orthodontics;'Curtis Mettlin, Cullinan; are invited. assistant professor of Sociology; and Associate. Librarian Yoram Szekely. The five names still being considered are History professor William Allen; Philosophy professor Newton Carver; Robert Gayley, associate professor, of Physics; Anne Payne, associate professor of English; and English professor Myles Slatin. Four other members have already been chosen: undergraduates Pamela Benson and June Lapidus, representing SA, and Collegiate Assembly members Sue Cook of College F and Jackie Finley of College B. The powers of the Chartering Committee are three-fold: 1) To feview charters for applying Colleges and make recommendations to President Robert Ketter;2) 14th Amendment to specific cases,” according to the the Dean of the Colleges and to University of College the “dissolution a unit” if necessary; and 3) To recommend department’s new course description.

Linder Contributing Editor “Restructuring” is the name of the game at the Political Science Department this spring. A completely new program, designed to respond to the interests of both majors and non-majors, will be instituted in the Fall. Because of a “tendency for political science majors to stick to upper level courses and non-majors to shy away from the upper level courses,” the Political Science Department is introducing a new series of 200-level courses, explained Clark Murdock, chairman of the political science Undergraduate Policy Committee. The 111-series previously called “Enduring Themes” will be replaced by a group of 200—220 level courses entitled “Issues in Contemporary Politics.” This series will contain 5 different subjects in separate sections of the course; Women and Politics; Technology and Politics; Radicals, Liberals, Conservatives; Environmental Politics and Political Utopias.

After viewing events in Lackawanna this week where school board officials have vowed to wage a “tooth-and-nail fight” against a state integration order calling for widespread busing of elementary school children I have realized that just about nobody favors integration through - - busing. The Lackawanna school board unanimously condemned the state order to bus youngsters in kindergarten through fifth grade. White residents in the Steel City are vehemently opposed to the busing plan. And the black people in Lackawanna also dislike the busing edict from State Education Commissioner Ewald Nyquist. Most of the people in the industrial town of Lackawanna black, white and want their elementary Puerto Rican school children to attend neighborhood schools. Typical were remarks, by two women one white, the other black. “I wouldn’t want my five-year-old standing out in the cold waiting for a bus," the white woman said. Her feelings were echoed by the black resident who said that she was “very much opposed to busing.” - — — Amorphous goal? The arguments against busing are indeed compelling. Parents do not want their children bussed simply to achieve the amorphous goal of “integration.” And there is no guarantee that bussing a black ghetto child to a white-dominated school will improve his education, his self-concept or the quality of his life. But, as compelling as the reasons against busing may be, the need for busing is far more compelling. Commissioner Nyquist was right to reject the “integration” plan put forth by the Lackawanna board of education (the LACE proposal). Under the LACE plah, children in grades K-S would attend' neighborhood schools, - and then upon teaching the sixth grade, would be sent to integrated middle schools (6*7-8) and on to integrated high schools. If enacted, the LACE proposal would not lessen racial bias. In fact, segregating children in grades K-5 and then thrusting them into a more multi-racial situation might increase racial tensions. Unbiased youth Age has' been found to be related to the development of racial prejudice, according to social psychologist Patricia Middlebrook: “Although children as young as five have racial prejudices, they are not as articulated and intense as those held by adults,” Pr. older children and Middlebrook stated in citing studies by psychologists. For instance, D. Singer has shown that when the attitudes of children who began the first grade in an interracial situation were compared with those of children attending all-white schools in a comparable community, the children in the voluntary integrated schools were much less prejudiced. Additionally, P. Whitmore found that “the prejudices of younger children are decreased more by interracial contact than those of older children.” In that study, Dr. Whitmore measured the racial attitudes of eighth, tenth and twelfth graders before and after five months of integration; he found that the younger children became less prejudiced while the attitudes of the twelfth graders did not change. changing racial attitudes and for assuring equal education to black children. Even if the physical facilities and other factors are equal, the Supreme Court has stated that segregation of children in public schools is detrimental to blacks and whites. Segregation whether by law, or through total reliance on neighborhood may permanently affect the schools “hearts and minds of black children in a way unlikely ever to be undone, as the Supreme Court stated in Brown v. Topeka - — Board of Ed. Because integration is indespensible and because busing is the only known way to bring about that goal we have no choice but to implement widespread busing for elementary school children. — - Frustrations But integration also has its dangers, and educators must become fully cognizant of these dangers. Sending a black child to a with white history courses, white school and a white philosophy on life may foster a range of detrimental effects. - Integration: essential - Integration at an early age is vital for Students whose expectations are falsely raised during the six hours per day in the white school may become frustrated, and begin to hate whites.

Symposium emphasizes sexist medical standards by Linda Moskowitz Feature Editor The double standard fn health which works to the disadvantage of women patients and physicians, was the theme a symposium explored in sponsored by women medical students last Wednesday evening in the Harriman Faculty Club. “The next generation must be brought up to know that not all women are nurses and not all men are doctors,” said Nancy J. Stubbe, clinical instructor in Surgery and Anatomy at this University. Dr. Stubbe was one of four women physicians and Medical School instructors who appeared on a panel at the care, meeting. The discrepancy in treatment of male and female patients was cited as a major issue by another panel member. Daphne Hare, an assistant professor of Medicine and Biophysical Sciences here. The majority of male doctors, she said, “probably give a less thorough physical exam to women.” Sexist health care Dr. Hare, describing medical problems occurring more frequently in one sex than the other, used the breast check for women as a female analogy to the heart check for men. She claimed that the heart check is probably done more often than the breast check in the course of a physical exam. Pap smears, the test for cervical cancer in women, do not have the priority they should in physical exams, added Dr. Hare. A further example of medical discrimination against women described by Dr. Hare involves dialysis treatment, used for patients with kidney disorders. Since the dialysis equipment is scarce, expensive, and often in great demand. Dr. Hare maintained that those who get dialysis are “chosen on the basis of medical and social criteria.” “Since society just can’t accommodate all these people,” she continued, “some must die.” Doctors therefore often use social criteria to determine “what is the worth of an individual,” she said. Whether this process is subconscious or not. Dr. Hare believes women are usually deemed worth less socially than men in such instances. The treatment of women in the mental health field was also attacked by Dr. Hare: “I think the evidence shows there is a tendency to take complaints and symptoms of women and write them off as psychosomatic,” she said. Another complaint was that “women are put on drugs more often than men. Psychiatrists will more often try to work out what’s troubling the man,” Dr. Hare explained. She continued by explaining the dilemma of a 35-year-old housewife, with several children, who goes to a psychiatrist due to —Santos persistent depression. Dr. Hare thinks it is very likely that the doctor would tell the woman that her problem is that she doesn’t accept her feminity, rather than observing that the woman might simply be bored by housework and child care duties. Women physicians and their pregnancies provoked much discussion among the women at the symposium. Dr. Hare believes society uses pregnancy to keep women in their place. One woman in the audience, however, felt that women cannot escape the issue because “women have the babies, not their husbands, and they must be prepared to take the responsibility for their children.” The number of years women take off from work to have babies and raise families, as well as the question of maternity leaves for doctors, were also women discussed at the conference. The rationale for keeping women out of medical school is that they will take a place away from a man, and then, once granted a degree, will only take many years off to raise a family, Dr. Hare observed. However, when presented with this argument by a man, she facetiously replies that it would actually be more beneficial to allow more women into medical school, because in general, men have been found to die sooner than women. ‘Ego problems’ In spite of the many obstacles which confront women medical students, the women doctors at the conference were generally optimistic regarding the future of women in medicine. “With women being accepted in more and more positions, it’s going to get easier and easier,” said Rose Ruth Ellison, resident associate professor of Medicine at this University. “Medical school is probably the easiest thing you’re going to have,” she advised the future doctors in the audience. Another panel member who spoke of the rewards of a career in medicine was Cynthia Clayton, assistant professor of Pediatrics at Meyer and Children’s Hospitals. “I’ve never regretted going to medical school,” she said. —continued on page 9 — Monday, 22 April 1974 The opectrum Page three . . �Legislative Roundtable concentrates on lobbying Reverend Kenneth Sherman called “an effective citizens’ lobbying mechanism.” Legislative this first Ironically, Roundtable, sponsored by the New York Civil Liberties Union, Niagara Frontier Chapter (NYCLU), was not attended by any of the local State Legislators as planned, because of an unexpected special session in Albany on Friday. “We can’t call each other a coalition yet,” said Killian Vetter, the forum’s moderator and a member of the NYCLU. He emphasized, however, that the forum was the first of many such meetings which would “establish a common presence of citizen groups.” Inequities in schools Although the local legislators could not attend. State Assemblyman Arthur Eve was represented by Dorothy Shields, and the local media was there to cover the event. Ms. Shields, the recipient of the 1974 Civil Liberties Award given by the NYCLU’s Niagara Falls chapter, as well as a member of the Civil Liberties Board since 1953, said Mr. Eve supported the legislation which the forum’s participants advocated. Complete or ast least greatly expanded state funding of public schools was suggested by Joan Boser of the League of Women Voters. This is the only way to eliminate the inequities which persist among various schools, she argued. — — Ms. Boser also said that the Board of Elections, and not civic groups, should be actively involved in registering high school students who are eligible to vote. Withholding rent advised In the area of tenents’ rights, Ms. Boser urged the adoption of an “implied warrant of habitability,” which would allow tenants to withhold their rent payment until their landlords improved their ROTC in high schools? Erie County is “seven years late” in its of child care services, Ms. Hendricks charged, She noted that the proposed program of “in-home child care” (in which mothers with children of their own are reimbursed by the county for taking care of one or two other children in their own homes) is unacceptable if it is the only form of child care service promise provided. Ms. Hendricks expressed optimism that New York State to include a bill requiring proposed the federal Equal Rights Amendment in the State Constitution would be passed this year. The federal amendment has already been ratified by the New York State Legislature, but a movement has begun to repeal that approval, she said. • The Pentagon is subsidizing public school programs of military training in high schools, explained Rev. Sherman of the Western New York Peace Center. He cited a bill (which had passed the State Senate, was initially defeated by the Assembly, but later passed on another vote on the last day of the legislative session) that allows high schools to adopt ROTC programs with state funding.

If it did occur, we’ll have to determine to what extent.” Rep. Smith added: “Whether or not the offenses are impeachable will depend to a great extent on the degree to which they were committed.” Presidential accountability The committee will focus its attention on the actual part played by President Nixon, rather than on the crimes committed by members of his staff. “As far as impeachment is concerned, there is a large cleavage between illegal and stupid acts of an executive and the actions of his staff, if he is not involved in them.” This attitude has come under attack recently as a passive acceptance on the part of the Congress of the crimes committed by members of the executive branch,, because it hedges on the question of Presidential accountibility for the actions of his .

By contrast, the New England states, which do not have the death penalty, have the lowest homocide rates in the country, Mr. Farringer observed. Capital punishment is also more likely to be meted out against the poor and underprivileged, Mr. Farringer maintained. His statistics show that of the 444 people executed in America during the last IS 400 were black. “If taking a human life is wrong, then it is wrong for the state to take one,” Mr. Farringer concluded. Reverend Echols and Reverend Williams of the Buffalo Council of Churches stressed the of current welfare “indignity procedures and urban blight.” Rev.

Every member of the Hoqse and those in the Senate who are up for re-election will make it very clear that they are not acquiescing to the crimes of the executive branch. They realize they are dealing with the Chief Executive and not with his direct subordinates in this investigation.” Congressional response to the abuses of power has often taken the form of partisan bickering rather than meaningful reforms. Democrats and Republicans alike have resorted to hurling charges of poor conduct at one another. Some efforts, however, have been taken to remedy the situation and prevent it from ocurring in the future. A bill for Congress to consider the federal budget as a whole, adopted last month, was described by Mr. Smith as the “most important piece of legislation to pass Congress in the last -ten years.” It provides for the establishment of Congressional control over many areas of spending that to date have been the sole concern of the executive branch. It sets up a system of gathering information, and creates a staff that will allow the Congress to determine its own budget piorities, rather them just considering the budget piecemeal and inviting Presdiential impoundments by spending too much. “It goes a long way toward gaining back some of the power that has been assumed by the President in the past because of Congressional inactivity,” Mr. Smith concluded. ■ (Just see what happens.) people yet still has the highest homocide rate in the country. In Delaware, Mr. Farringer noted, the homocide rate declined when the death penalty was repealed and rose again after it ‘Blemish on civilization' Although the bill is “severly limited in scope,” its passage would represent “the first small step in a long and necessary journey toward correcting larger injustices,” said Mr. Faulkner. Capital punishment was attacked by the NYCLU’s Harold Farringer as “a blemish on our civilization.” Capital punishment docs not deter homocide, he added. Mr. Farringer cited Georgia as an —continued from Lonely? List your telephone number in The Spectrum classifieds! greatest number of armed forces recruiting officers. Glen Nellis, president of the Community Action Organization (CAO) of Erie County for the past two years, argued for the extension of the federal Office of Equal Opportunity (OEO) program, a Johnson-era agency disliked by President Nixon, which Congress must act upon by July 1. “Forty governors and sixteen state legislatures have gone on record in favor of such and extension,” he said, but New York State is not among them. On the other hand, Mr. Nellis said city and county funds for poverty programs have increased during the last year. A bill to amend the civil rights law to make it illegal “for any public licensing agency to inquire about or act upon information concerning an arrest of an applicant which has not been followed by a conviction,” was supported by Lawrence Faulkner, staff counsel for NYCLU. 881-6110 * Sex discrimination, tenants’ rights, day care, capital punishment, campaign reform and poverty programs highlighted a “Legislative Roundtable" Friday morning. Individuals representing various community organizations gathered at the Historic Wilcox Mansion on Delaware Avenue in the hopes of creating what apartments to meet minimum living standards. The campaign financing reform bill passed last week by the State Assembly “falls short” of Common Cause’s expectations for such reform, said Pat Galvin of the citizens’ lobbying group. Ms. Galvin called the bill “a giant step backward” because it allows union and corporate campaign contributions which were previously illegal. “Sexism and racism and one battle to fight,” declared Helen Hendricks, the New York legislative coordinator to the National Organization For Women (NOW), quoting Representative Shirley Chisolm. “Women want to be equally treated as far as jury duty is concerned,” said Ms. Hendricks. This would be a step toward “getting women into full participation in the community,” she explained. • 81 Allen St., Buffalo Evanstown Plaza 418 Evans near Sheridan Williamsville I byBanry Ginsberg Spectrum Staff Writer # 1 UL “1“V OTYT / 1H/tvBu in 15J Norton Hall. f �<4 travel agency; catering to particular needs of campus by Don Eisenmaim Spectrum Staff Writer A student travel agency, designed to give State University at Buffalo students substantial reductions in traveling costs, should be operating by September. The agency, Student Association (SA) Travel, will be administered by Pieper Travel, a Buffalo travel agency, and according to Student Rights coordinator Hillary Lowell, “will provide everything a regular travel agency would, but will be geared toward students and their particular needs.” Mr. Lowell has been working on the project since his election last month. “Most universities of this size have some sort of travel service, and especially since youth fare discounts on air travel are being eliminated, it’s something that’ll really be needed,” he explained. Professional SA attorney Richard Lippes is presently drawing up the contract with Pieper, which already provides travel arrangements for Albright Knox, the Buffalo Philharmonic and other local organizations. “The Pieper agency seems fair, confident and agreeable to assume the risk involved, and is prepared to hire a special staff member just to handle S A. Travel,” said Mr. Lowell. “Because they’re professional and experienced in such matters, they’ll know who’s reputable, and who to contact and who to avoid better than an individual student group trying to arrange student travel.” While most agencies make a 10-15 per cent profit in arranging travel, Pieper has agreed to a considerably lower fee and has acquiesed having its financial records inspected by the SA. The service will not involve the use of any SA funds; it will provide savings by dealing with large numbers of student, i.e., charter flights and group discounts. Wide interest For example, a flight to Europe presently costs around $350,.but would only be about $250 if enough students could be recruited for a charter flight,” said Mr. Lowell. SA travel will therefore arrange trips that will be of interest to many students, such as summer flights to Europe, Christmas and Easter flights to Florida, and weekend trips to Toronto, Montreal and Washington. S.A. Travel will attempt to cater to the special needs of students, Mr. Lowell explained: “Students don’t have to have the best hotel facilities as long as they’re cheap, clean and comfortable.” A large part of the service will be providing information about things like railroad passes, travel tips, hotels, places to go, things to do, and will help the student secure travel insurance and passports. The agency will assist students in planning personal trips, but these will be at standard rates. Furnas College: growing and Edelstam to speak on Chilean military coup developing through the years A living-learning community of students in the Ellicott Complex will Clifford Furnas College become a reality this September after an eight-year delay. Anticipating the growth of this University to over 40,000 students and the adverse effects a large, impersonal institution would have on individuals former University President Martin Meyerson proposed a plan 1966 calling for the in organization of six residential Colleges of 500 students each. “A committee was formed to consider the plan, and eventually six masters were appointed by President Meyerson,” explained Lyle Borst, former Master of Clifford Furnas. Each College would be composed of a Master and a board of senior Fellows, chosen from the faculty. Each senior Fellow would then choose a junior Fellow (also a faculty member), and two students to work with him. This nucleus would function without residences until each College found a permanent home. — - — - Delays Among the first buildings slated for construction at the Amherst Campus were a group of buildings for the six Colleges. facilities However, dormitory were not available for several years becausti—of construction delays at Amherst. As a result, Clifford Furnas College ceased to exist for three years until it received permission to share MacDonald Hall with College B in September 1971. The first year in MacDonald witnessed an exchange of interests among the music and art students of College B and science students of College D (Furnas College). However, “this close relation made it difficult for each College to develop its own identity,” Dr. Borst maintained. Consequently, by fall 1972, Clifford Furnas became the sole occupant of MacDonald Hall. Furnas College soon doubled to 140 students. As it became firmly established as a residential unit, “I joined Furnas College because it gives students an identity in a megaversity,” surmised one second-year resident. “Offering a sense of community and opportunity for academic and social development, Furnas College attracted students in all fields of study,” added Janice Carver, another College member. Different philosophy Furnas College remained part of the Collegiate Assembly until July 1973, when Bernard Gelbaum, vice president for Academic Affairs, consented to Dr. Borst’s request to withdraw from the Collegiate The break from the Assembly was attributed by Furnas members to differences in educational philosophy and difficulties in obtaining funds from the Collegiate Assembly. “We felt we could develop more effectively outside the Assembly,” said Stephen Serafin, head resident and acting-master of Furnas College since Dr. Borst’s resignation last February. When Dr. Borst resigned, Furnas College faced leadership crisis. Many believed Dr. Borst had been the only driving force behind the College. “The crisis was met with the Fellows pulling together,” explained Mr. Serafin. They elected a chairman of the Fellowship, C.A. Yeracaris, and designated a three-member operating committee to determine policy in the absence of a Master. The day-to-day affairs of the College are now handled by Mr. Serafln. “Borst’s resignation had a catalytic effect on student interest in the College,” said Mr. Serafin. “A lot of people began questioning what their relation to the College was,” he observed. “Furnas College members responded positively insofar as they’ve gotten involved in student activities, recruitment and the organization of college affairs and events,” Mr. Serafin added. including Mr. Edelstam. Mr. Ojalvo’s report was printed in Granma, April 7, the newspaper of the Communist party of Cuba, and includes notes of the first day of the coup: “1:30 . . . when comrade Luis and the Ambassador opened the [Cuban Embassy] door and stepped out, there was a burst of rifle and machine-gun fire, wounding diplomat Julio Farias in the chest and eye and the Ambassador in the arm.” The report continued; “All during the night, there were more orders to surrender and bursts of fire. Heavy artillery was also brought the Swedish ambassador, up. On four occasions, Edelstam, courageously and resolutely tried to reach the Embassy, but he was turned back by the military men, along with the ambassadors of India, In the Swedish Embassy, Calderon, leader of the Peru and Mexico Central Organization of workers, was wounded.” Harold Edelstam was in Italy in 1939 when Mussolini declared war on France, and he took Jewish refugees into the Swedish Embassey in Berlin in 1941. After he was expelled from Nazi-Germany, he went to Oslo, Norway to work in the anti-Nazi resistance. He was in Jakarta, Indonesia in 1965,when a right-wing military coup overthrew President Sukarno, killing over 600,000 rural communists. After this, he was sent to Guatemala, where he helped political refugees who were being repressed by General Arana. Since being expelled from Chile, he has been on an international speaking tour. ... Hobbies “One of the results of increased student input has been the formation of ‘common interest’ groups,” Mr. Serafin emphasized. The new groups planned for the fall are theater, art, music (string and woodwind quintets), tropical fish, magic, cooking and literary. The College also has a photography club and darkroom, and a computer science group with its own computer terminal. Luncheon and wine and cheese seminars give students a chance to meet with noted faculty members in an informal setting,’* explained Bernadette Gazzo, Academic College RA. “The luncheon seminars are limited to 12 students in the Tiffin Room,” she continued. The wine and cheese seminars are open to all Furnas College members and are held in the college lounge. This fall, Clifford Furnas College also plans to expand its course offerings to include not only science courses but music, art, and English programs, Ms. Gazzo explained.

Numerous statements were attributed to me which were misquotes and several were taken out -of context. This style of writing is not accidental and has been dsW in the past to foster the image of knife carrying EOF and BSU students who hate white students with a passion. This divide and conquer strategy is as old as time but unfortunately it is quite successful on this campus. The Spectrum has been the fundamental weapon used to divide black and whife students. After reading this article white students have had the seed of fear planted within them. Now that they realize that black students on campus hate them collectively this prevents any black-white united approach to the solution of common problems. Congratulations Spectrum you have once again aided in the division of blacks and whites and have raised the banner of racism high. I only hope that rational thinking white students can ignore the racism which seeps from the pages of The Spectrum and join the black students in forming a united front to make this campus what it black and white should and could be.

The reason for the TL switch is rather simple: Car B gets approximately twice as many miles per gallon as Car A. Divided into the current price per gallon, nf||||l H this looks rather attractive. HI All of which should be a perfectly straightforward decision practical only on based considerations, right? Ha! My by Steese head never does anything the easy way. It turns out that I am attached to a rusty 1964 blue Chevelle. 1 think I’ll go West and start a cattle wonder how long it takes a beef steer to die of ranch old age? The attachment is not completely weird mostly, but not completely. There were never any cars in my family when I was growing up, and this was the first car that I, me, myself, personal, ever owned. The three years and 40-odd thousand miles that this car fotlr? and 1 have been togethe/ have been some highly formative and important years for me. Lots of changes in that time, lots of images that I can sum up around events in which said car has participated. All the people it has helped move, many of whom have receded to Christmas card status, or worse. But such memories don’t go very far constructive. Suffice it to say the " Ullllj - - - - memories are plentiful. Anyway, between the simpatico vibrations with present car, and a natural prediction to save anything I could possibly ever use, my first thought was that 1 would register both cars and turn the Chevelle out to pasture. Sort of keep it around to pull trailers for all the people 1 know who own Datsuns, Toyotas and Volkswagens. There is a little matter of insurance, yes? Yes! The script should be made clear. I do not want a second car for someone else to drive. It will be left to quietly chew its Quaker state and rust peacefully away over in one corner of the driveway. There being but one of me, it seems well nigh impossible for me to drive more than one of these automobiles at once, can you dig it? So, why, may I ask, does it make any sense at all that it costs nearly the same amount of money to insure the second car as the first? Gives me images of the Chariot race in Ben Hur last weekend must have been Easter weekend, every religious extravaganza move ever made was on the tube. 1 can see me, as Charlton Heston, racing down Main Street with one foot in one, the other in the other. I mean it’s a little - bizarre, yes? Which leaves old sentimental slob me in a bind. I’d keep Zelda might as well go for a really romantic name around for a reasonable fee, but doubling the insurance wipes out any gain fordoing the whole thiqg in the first place. Arggghhh! How is someone who can’t send cats to the SPCA supposed to turn ?n old friend into a shudder junk yard? How far do you suppose I’d get trying to call around to the wrecking companies to see if 1 could find a humane one? “Hey Sam, there is some nut on the phone who wants to know if we knock cars out before we crunch them?” Let me tell you something, this car may be old, but it still runs better than President Nixon. - — — — Nixon if he were captain of the Titanic, he would have told the passengers that they were stopping — to pick up ice. How do you gracefully retire a president or a car? The car in this case deserves a decent break; it has run nobly and well until it is around the 130,000-mile . mark. The President is entirely another matter. If he were a car, he would have been recalled for defective design a long time ago. Richard Nixon the Edsel of the Presidency. forced metaphors using automobile symbols, though I am sure that.if I plugged along at it, the spark would come back. Cough. Maybe I can raise rabbits in the old girl. Which runs me neatly out of steam I will partially repress the urge to find a way to sneak Stanley into that someplace. I thought I could milk my car problems for more lines than this. One serious problem with being a flow-of-consciousness writer occurs when the consciousness becomes aware of the fact that what well, shall we say, dubious?, is being written is of — — - quality. If you’re interested, I can refer you to the exact place where the problem started to develop. Check back to the end of the third paragraph from the beginning, that is. 1 chickened out, and the whole thing got scrambled. Tried to shut off what 1 was feeling and make it funny. Any maybe it didn’t bomb completely, but it probably should have. There were images in my head, mostly dealing with people. Of driving down to Pennsylvania to visit a friend soon after getting the car, of driving across New England one fall to visit friends with a lady now moved along. A mood was one for me to close and grapple with some old memories, some good, some painful. But I decided I could choose not to do that. I seems that it is a real choice, that is what happened, after all. But the cost is what 1 keep forgetting, dummy that 1 am. The cost, in my case, of trying to avoid emotionally charged material is an, at least perceived, excessive decrease in efficiency of communication. I will try to remember it better in the future. My Have a apologies. good week. Maybe it will - honest-to-Nixon get warm. i at Monday, 22 April 1974 The Spectrum . Page seven . �, ( to join around buiget time, which she did. Finance Committee receives unusual ‘stack’ of petitions denied that her organization was trying to stack the Assembly, by Clem Coluccl tip. Contributing Editor Members on the above list reacted angrily to his statement. saying only one JSU member had Mr. Lalonde said: “I’m here to recently joined the Assembly. represent the students.” An That one member was presumably Executive Committee member Ms. Aber. Mr. Mones told the greeted his remarks with Assembly: “We’re not going to considerable skepticism, pointing bullshit anybody,’’ and admitted out to those fitting near him the some WNYPIRG members had prominent WNYPIRG button on joined the Assembly, but denied Mr. Lalonde’s shirt. Ms. Aber said: any ulterior motives. One former “Some of us just want to join the WNYPIRG member, presently on the Assembly, said she had been Assembly.” Freidler given a petition last year and told JSU President Judy Student Association (SA) Committee members and others close to student government suspect certain campus organizations are trying to stack the Student Assembly with supporters in order to assure passage of favorable budgets for their groups. Suspicions were aroused when in less than two weeks over 20 people submitted applications to join the Assembly. Nearly all of them requested an assignment on the Finance Committee, already filled to its constitutional limit, at a time when the budget hearings will be held. To meet this alleged threat of stacking, the Assembly, after several minutes of acrimonious debate, voted Wednesday to recess rather than to adjourn that meeting so the new people could not vote at the budget hearings starting today. (New Assembly members must attend one meeting as non-voting members before they gain voting rights.) Executive Membership list A partial list of the new Assembly members, the date their petitions were received, their committee preferences and any known organizational affiliations ate as follows: Mindy Aber (4, April), Finance Committee, Treasurer, Jewish Student Union; Richard Sokolow (9, April), Finance Committee, WNYPIRG; Richard Eichen (15, April), Finance Committee; Arthur Lalonde (15, April), Finance Committee, WNYPIRG; Mindy Lubber (10, April), Finance Committee, WNYPIRG; Robert Dulak (11, April), Finance Committee; Kathleen Masters (10, April), Finance Committee; David Lennett (15, April), Finance Committee; David Ettinger (10, April), Finance Committee; Onofre Cintron (10, April), Finance Committee; Howard Rotte (15, April), WNYPIRG; Larry Simon (15, April); Paul Mones (12, April), WNYPIRG; Robin Cohen. $8,709, given on the assumption of $1,900 income for a total subsidy of $6,809. WNYPIRG, which got $3,000 last year, is asking for $25,000 which all major Presidential candidates promised in the recent SA elections. But the budget is running into snags with the Committee, which objects to an estimated $17,000 for a project coordinator and a lawyer. Finance Real, exaggerated fears Investigation seems to have shown that Executive Committee organizations with budgetary troubles joined to promote their group’s interests. * But the suspicion, engendered by the suspicious “coincidence” of large numbers of people joining the Assembly and hoping to get on the Finance Committee at a time when their organizations’ budgets are being discussed, remains. It has happened on a smaller scale before. Whether it has happened again cannot be discerned. What can be known is that it looks as if it’s happening again.

The Canon F-1 is the camera that can fulfill any photographic task to which you put it. It can stand up to your ability in any situation. Denials Those members contacted by The Spectrum denied they joined the Assembly to push their own budgets through. Treasurer Sal Napoli initially voiced Executive Committee fears at Wednesday’s Assembly meeting, causing angry comments and heated denials. Admitting that some might think he Was “paranoid,” Mr. Napoli said: “I believe that the vast majority of the people who are coming on (to the Assembly) are coming on for one reason, the fact that budget hearings are coming Page eight. The Spectrum Monday, 22 April 1974 . requesting J SU is approximately $15,100 which it hopes to offset by enough income to bring the total subsidy to $6,109. This year’s allocation was fears of Assembly stacking were, if real, somewhat exaggerated, and that if any organization is trying to stack the Assembly it did not have more than half a dozen or so people at its disposal. And there is no proof that new Assembly members affiliated with Naturally, a great camera like the F-1 won't ensure great results. That's up to you.

Howie Forman Contributing Editor The image of the dumb jock, starring in his sport and getting by through mickey mouse courses is an 'old and popular one. In reality, this type of athlete is fading from the college scene. Buffalo still has some jocks, with all that the term implies. However, a great many Bull athletes have distinguished themselves in the classroom as well as in athletics. This second annual “tbp ten” list is the cream of the crop of student athletes. The list includes two returnees from last year as well as three of last year’s honorable mentions. Among the remaining eight of last year’s selections, all graduated, three are now in medical school, one in law school and another is a wrestling coach at a junior college. This year’s breakdwon of 5 (one is a double majors is: Biology and Chemistry), two in major in Biology Physical Education, and one a piece from Pharmacy, Management and Electrical Engineering. The ratings resulted from a survey of coaches and athletes. Only varsity athletes were eligible and final selection considered both scholastic and athletic achievement. — Fencing. Number two on this list last year, Forman is a senior Pharmacy student with a 3.7 average. Co-captain two years running, Forman fenced in the NCAA championships both years and went to the North Atlantic championships three times. Buffalo’s top epee performer, he fenced to 3 24—8 record this year. Howie is now required to take a six-month internship before taking the licensing exam for Pharmacists. After that, he is considering graduate work in Pharmacy. 2. Bruce Tuttle Cross Country. Senior Cross Country captain, Tuttle’s major is Electrical Engineering and he has a 3.7 average. Last summer Tuttle did research at Brookhaven National Laboratories in the development and design of superconductors for underground transmission. Now he plans on taking a graduate assistantship at the University of Illinois. 3. Brian Herman Crew. A 3.7 Biology Major, Herman is graduating after four years as stroke man for the crew team. Like many athletes in spring sports, final exams often coincided with the climax of his season. “Being on the team has made me budget my time a little better,” said Herman. Brian still awaits his medical - - - Sexist standards...

Sanford’s top swimmer, Burt sprinted his way to a team leading 106 points this season. Zweigenhaft has a 3.7 after two semesters here and three at Alfred Tech. Though he has not declared a major yet, Burt is leaning toward Psychology. 5. Mark Bemsley Swimming. Second-fastest sprinter, Bemsley carries a 3.8 in Management and hopes to go to law school. The junior became a strictly observant Jew in the last year and would not swim on the Sabbath which meant missing many meets and everything but the relays in the state tournament. Mark also had to work around afternoon classes, while the team was practicing, by going to morning workouts. * 4 - 6. Steve Mum Fencing. A junior with Med School ambitions, Munz was Buffalo’s top sabre man and did the best of the Bulls contingent at the National tournament. Steve reports that a demonstration he saw in the Union his freshman year made him join the team. “It looked like fun,” he said. Now he maintains a 3.7 average in Biology, serves as a resident advisor in MacDonald Hall, and still fences for fun. — 7. John Stranges Hockey. Senior captain and first-string center, Stranges was among the top scorers on Ed Wright’s hockey team. Stranges reports having little trouble playing and keeping up with his studies, though he feels the team played the maximum number of games it could have, without causing academic problems. John frankly admits that he wasn’t always a very good student, and didn’t really - enjoy school until coming to Buffalo.” My intellectual progress has been unbelievable,” he says. John carries a 3.6 and is a Physical Education major. 8. Tom Mazzone Crew. An Eggertsville product, Mazzone rowed for St. Joes before coming to Buffalo, but didn’t row for the Bulls until his junior year. A 3.5 Biology major, Mazzone is headed for UB Medical School next fall. Tom has done research concerning white blood cells at Roswell Park Hospital. Wrestling and Soccer. 9. Jim Young transfer student from Middlesex is a Young (N.J.) Community and has a 3.5 in Physical Education. Like Stranges, Jim is considering graduate school, though he freely admits that if not for athletics he would not have gone to college at all. This year the junior has set school records for most goals in a season in soccer and most wins in a season for wrestling. - - 10. Tie Benjamin • - - Dave Gaeth and Scott Swimming. Another sprinter, Gaeth is headed for medical school after compiling a 3.5 as a Biology and Chemistry double major. If Benjamin’s 3.1 cum seems modest compared to the other selections, it’s probably because he has fulfilled the requirements for dental school in three years. Pitcher Bill Lasky and Mid-distance runner Larry Mentkowski head up the honorable mentions. Alphabetically, the rest are: Rich Abott (Tennis), Doug (Hockey), Gary Domzalski Bowman (Basketball), Jim Lamb (Wrestling), Gary Montour (Baseball) and Sandy White (Swimming). —continued from page 3— hierarchy among health science workers seemed to create problems for some students in terms of professional identity and role-playing. An appeal was made to women medical students to become active in the American Medical Women’s Association by Ruth Kpobloch, who is now president of Branch 18 of the New York State chapter. There is also a New York City chapter of the organization, “You don’t realize how much has changed,” said Dr. Knobloch, who graduated from medical school 43 years ago, “but there’s still a lot that can be accomplished.” She informed the group that medical students are permitted to join the junior branch of the organization, and are then granted senior status once they officially become doctors If any health science students are interested in the issue of women in medicine, they can contact Mindy Friedman, at 8 3 8-6282, for further information. from page I—- Mr. Smith. Noting that it would be a normal political reaction for a politician to initially try to contain damaging news, he insisted that the determination “will depend on the degree of the President’s involvement in the cover-up.” If Mr. Nixon even silently acquiesced to hush mopey payments to buy the silence of the Watergate defendants, Mr. Smith indicated, the committee will definietly vote to impeach. He was most confident regarding obstruction of justice as an impeachable offense; he was less comfortable regarding the degree of Presidential accountability for illegal acts by his subordinates. Obviously the President can’t be responsible for everyone in the executive branch, he said, but noted that what the President knew regarding crimes by his closest associates would definitely be considered. Influence peddling, or the trading of government favors for corporate contributions, would also be an impeachable offense if it could be proved, Mr. Smith observed. Special Prosecutor Leon Jaworski has been investigating the ITT and dairy industry cases in this regard. Mr. Smith noted that the Judiciary Committee already has five definite votes for impeachment, but believes that most of the committee, like himself, is waiting to see the evidence before reaching a conclusion. If the committee votes to impeach, an election-conscious House will definitely follow suit; but the committee’s articles of impeachment must focus on clearly illegal, impeachable offenses that could win strong public support for impeachment. Washington analysts believe that so much evidence damaging to President Nixon has been revealed that impeachment is a virtual certainty. The actions of Mr. Smith’s committee in the next eight weeks will decide whether this is to be the summer America impeaches a President.

Shortsrop Jim Lalayanis and starting pitcher Jim Miewczyk committed errors that opened the doOr for the four unearned tallies, sending Niewczyk to his second defeat of the year. The Bulls were having plenty of trouble with Tymeson, hitting under most of the righthander’s pitches, resulting in harmless fly balls. Sports Editor After raking opposing hurlers for 29 runs in two successive games, the baseball Bulls saw their winning streak halted abruptly Saturday afternoon. Buffalo split a doubleheader with Cortland at Peelle Field, winning the nightcap, 4—0, after dropping the opener by 7-1. The Bulls had whipped Niagara (14-9) and Scranton (15-1) last Thursday and Friday, respectively, and are now 10—9— 1 this season. Righthanded Bill Lasky mixed fast balls, curves and sliders in blanking the Red Dragons to give Buffalo a split of Saturday’s twinbill. Lasky threw 108 pitches in his seven-inning shutout, bringing his record to 2—0 this season. Cortland’s Garth Tymeson scattered seven hits in the opener as the Dragons broke the game open with a four-run rally in the Monkarsh displeased “We just had a bad game,” commented Bull coach Bill Monkarsh. “We didn’t get good pitching, we didn’t hit the ball, and we didn’t play good defense. We had a chance to choke off their rally, but we couldn’t do it, ballgame,” the so we lost Monkarsh added. The Bulls had opened their home season Friday by hammering Scranton, collecting 16 hits off a trio of Royal pitchers. Scranton coach Dave Ocorr started the game with his Schedule problems plague tennis Bulls by Paige Miller Spectrum Staff Writer Many problems confront the tennis Bulls this spring, but getting the team ready for play has not been one of them. The big obstacle has been the scheduling of matches. Weather problems limit the season to one month. Additionally, many schools do not play a spring tennis schedule. The Bulls were supposed to begin their campaign last Wednesday against Buffalo State, however, the Bengals were on their spring break the week before last and they could not assemble a team. The match has been rescheduled for tomorrow, filling the gap caused by Pittsburgh’s cancellation. The Panthers could not afford to make the trip to Buffalo. This afternoon’s match against Canisius was still tentative at press time. Canisius had fired athletic director Jim Bedell earlier this year, and Bedell left no records for his successor. Consequently, the Griffins were late in getting their team together. Extra practice time The cancellation of the Buffalo State match gave the Bulls some desperately-needed extra practice time. “The extra days definitely did help,” remarked Bull tennis coach Norm Baschnagel. “Our first day out [i.e., outdoor practice] was Tuesday.” The Bulls have to prepare for matches on three consecutive days this week, concluding with a trip to Colgate on Wednesday, and they have had only indoor practices prior to Tuesday. Other than the problems caused by the weather, Baschnagel has had no problems getting his squad ready. “Rich Abbott, Jeff Sepp, Steve Spiegel, Charlie Schmidt and Lonnie Keller have been working on their own trying to get into better condition,” Baschnagel noted. He had special praise for Keller, whom he indicated may start against Canisius. “Lonnie’s lost ten pounds. He’s been taking a fitness and conditioning course,” said Baschnagel. Keller did not play during the fall season due to a bout with mononucleosis. There were also several new faces trying to make the squad. Senior Jerry Cohen had the best chance to make the team this spring, while newcomers Jay Vidockler, Pierre Dade and Jeff Kushner have a good chance of making the team next fall. The Bulls have added two scrimmages to their schedule, against teams from local tennis clubs. All this means a lot of work for the tennis Bulls, but, according to Baschnagel, the team’s condition is “100% better than in the fall.” riwl I I -2987 BAILEY AVE 836 3177 OPEN FOR LUNCH TUESDAY THRU FRIDAY EVERY TUESDAY IS 1/2PRICE DAY one, get second at % price i(buy with this ad)! | EVERY WEDNESDAY 95<t OFF ON SUKIYAKI (with this ad) Coupon expires 5/15/74 Page ten The Spectrum Monday, 22 April 1974 . ■ | - . i - .

Volz went to the showers in the second inning, departing after surrending the Bulls’ first eight tallies. Scranton managed only one hit off Buffalo ace Jim Riedel in the contest. Riedel surrendered a line drive single to Tom Sohns in the seventh, and departed after that inning with 11 strikeouts and his second victory of the year. Eighteen walks The Bulls won their “local opener” last Thursday, opening up a nine-run lead against Niagara and fighting off a late Purple Eagle rally: Buffalo pitchers set a record in that contest by issuing 18 walks, but stranded 17 Eagle runners to stem the tide. Dan Gorman paced Buffalo with five RBIs, while Rick Wolstenhobne had four, including a home run. The Bulls, who hosted Eisenhower College yesterday, will face Pittsburgh tomorrow at home, beginning an important five-game stretch that will figure heavily in determining the Bulls’ playoff chances. Riedel and Niewczyk are expected to face the Panthers in the twinbill. �3-bedroom apartment within w.d. Call Bath, Kathy, Plata, #31-4056. LARGE 5-BEDROOM house.

Lackawanna protesting school integration order by Gary Cohn Campus Editor Vowing to pursue the case to the Supreme Court if necessary, - Lackawanna school board officials have decided to fight a state order integration calling for widespread busing and the closing of two elementary schools. The integration order issued by State Education Commissioner Ewald Nyquist last week is scheduled to take effect in September 1974. Specifically, it states that the Lackawanna school system must close under-utilized elementary schools and reassign 995 elementary school children to achieve racial - — integration. In ordering the Lackawanna board to implement procedures that will assure a “student body that represents a cross-section of the population of the entire school district” (as set forth in a 1968 Regents position paper), Dr, Nyquist rejected an integration proposal put forth by the Lackawanna school board. school The LACE proposal That proposal, written by the Lackawanna Advisory Council on (LACE), Education recommended; (1) a new high school be built for grades 9-12 for all children in the district; (2) the present high school be converted into a middle school for grades 6-7-8 for all children in the district; and (3) the neighborhood schools be retained for all children K—5 Dr. Nyquist explained that in September 1974 he “accepted tne .plans to build a new high school and convert the present high school into a middle school (but). . rejected the board’s . intent schools, concerning which elementary would have perpetuated segregation.” Thereafter, representatives from Dr. Nyquist’s office met with Lackawanna school board officicals to try to work out a plan. When efforts were schools,” Dr. Nyquist decalred unfruitful, “the superintendent advised that the board of Rather fight than switch v Lackawanna Superintendent of education did not wish to engage in further cooperative endeavors Schools Harold Madar explained to to develop an integration plan that the board of education for the Lackawanna public decided they did not wish to change the original LACE plan for neighborhood schools. The neighborhood school plan calls for children to attend the elementary school in their own neighborhood, rather than busing children across town, Mr. Madar axplained. If there was enough room, he added, a parent could opt to have his child attend another elementary school under an “open admissions” clause. Mr. Madar further said the memebrs of LACE had come from all segments of the Lackawanna community including blacks, ministers, community leaders, parents and city hall officicals. He emphasized that the board of education is not opposed to integration per se, but rather to the use of “cross busing” and the “closing of the two elementary schools” to achieve a fully integrated school system. - Man with a dual role “The community and the board is to the opposed non-acceptance of the plan we submitted,” Mr. Madar explained. However, he said it would be inappropriate to give his personal view because he “works for the board of ed and is an agent of the State Commissioner of —continued on page 17— �m k Social work problems and other welfare concerns were explored by Buffalo Congressman Thaddeus.Dulski and a group of Buffalo residents and students last Tuesday in Norton Hall. Mr. Bulski presides over the Health, Education and Welfare (HEW) committee in the House of Representatives. The discussion group explored the lack of funds for New York State’s welfare programs and the sluggish use of available monies by the state. “If more hinds were allocated for social work by the government. New York would still be shortchanged because money would still have to go to other states,” Congressman Dulski maintained. Funds were not put to their “proper use,” he said, However, one Buffalo resident reported that $15 million allotted to the state and Erie County to train social workers was not properly utilized. The Congressman was asked if some sort service cou. -graduate social area, since graduates had complaining of a lack of positions. Mr. Dulski a the job shortage to the an overwhelming majoi social welfare graduates employment in the Buffi Discussing'the impeachment President Nixon, Congressman Dulski said he wasn’t ready “to say whether the President is guilty or not before he is even tried.” “I don’t think, at this time, that the President is guilty of fraud, but 1 do believe that he did use tax loopholes too frequently,” he said, in response to the question of whether fraud was involved in the preparation of Nixon’s income taxes. commenting that come under HEW’s veterans jurisdiction, Mr. Dulski was asked why Vietnam veterans had not received adequate treatment from After During the administration of President Johnson, domestic programs were important and received an abundance of funds, Mr. Pulski explained; during the “Nixonian Era,” social welfare programs are “hurting.” He did not foresee any big changes in present executive policies.

In recent weeks about J2S applications for membership in the Assembly have been submitted, with most requesting service on the budget-weighing Finance Committee. Many of these people, it is charged, will support large allotments for a particular group or club and are not concerned with the well-being of SA as a whole. Many, it is predicted, will drop out of the Assembly after the budget hearings are completed. New Assembly members may vote when they have attended their second meeting. The motion by SA Treasurer Sal Napoli to recess the meeting until 4 p.m. this Monday was designed to keep the newest Assembly members from participating in the crucial budget votes on Monday and Wednesday. “1 find it strange that in the last two weeks, over 25 new people most requesting to be on the Finance Committee have filed membership petitions,” Mr. Napoli observed. — — Budget-time joiners “I believe that most of these people are here for their group, and would not have any kind of concern for other organizations,” he continued. “I would not like to see other clubs harmed; if new members are allowed to vote, unrepresented groups might get shafted.” The motion to recess “would disenfranchise legitimate voters, and needs to be solved by a constitutuional Community Action Corps (CAC) director Mark Carlin. Mr. Carlin maintained that the decision to recess, and hopefully solve the ‘problem’ of budget-time Assembly joiners, was made in a crisis situation and should be considered under better circumstances. “It would be a ‘second wrong',” he asserted. “I object to the [SA ] executive committee’s unethical decision to do this,” declared Assembly member Martin Brooks. The recess motion was “tricky,” one speaker commented, “but it will only disenfranchise people who will probably never be here again.” The spokesman noted similar situations in past years when many Assembly members disappeared with the completion of budget considerations. in an immoral situation,” asserted Western New York Public Interest Group (WNYPIRG) Director Paul Mones. ‘They’re trying to Xt\\ a small cadre of people what they can and can’t talk Strange timing “It is not a dirty trick, it’s a legality,” about,” he said.

Others, however, maintain that the 25 new people increase the size of the Assembly by one-third, and that if most of them leave after the budget votes, the Assembly will face severe problems with the credibility of any given vote. ' In other business, the Assembly voted to recognize Minority Students in Health Related Fields and the newly-formed Educational Opportunity Program Student Association (EOPSA) as special interest groups to be funded. Also discussed were nine non-elected SA positions, an event marked by angry bickering over the appointment process and much confusion with the Assembly Chairman’s interpretation of Robert’s Rules of Order and parliamentary procedure. Appointments approved by Assembly vote were: Undergraduate Research, Bill Atchley; Director of Elections and Credentials, Janet Mrozowski; Director of Publicity, Janice Carver; Drictor of Public Information, Glenn Gabai; Assistant Treasurer, Carol Stykes; Speakers Bureau Chairman, Stanley Morrow; North Campus Coordinator, Karen Itell. WNYPIRG fears that less than $25,000 will cripple organization by Sparky Alzamora Contributing Editor Faced with a possible slash in the $25,000 requested from the Student Association (SA), the Western New York Public Interest Group (WNYPIRG) may be unable to function efficiently and might cease to exist next year. Disagreements between WNYPIRG and the SA Finance Committee which feels too many other groups’ budgets will have to be cut in order to give WNYPIRG the full have resulted in a deadlock concerning how $25,000 much money WNYPIRG will actually receive. Art Lalonde, Project Head for WNYPIRG, said the $25,000 would enable the consumer research organization to join the state-wide parent group, NYP1RG. “With less than $25,000.,” he asserted, “we won’t be able to make a contribution worth their while. According to Mr. Lalonde, the $13,000 SA is reportedly ready to give them “would be a waste of students’ money.” In last October’s referendum, students voted that SA should “re-order its priorities” to fund WNYPIRG. Many politicians running for offices, including SA President Frank Jackalone, pledged during the campaign to give WNYPIRG a $25,000 allocation. - — deciding that certain items in WNYPIRG’s budget could not be funded-. Mr. Schwartz said the $13,000 projected figure was an “off-the-cuff estimate from one of the Finance Committee members.” However, such an allocation would be suelcss in relation to WNYPIRG’s immediate needs, Mr. Schwartz indicated. Professional needs WNYPIRG needs a full-time lawyer and project coordinator, costing an estimated $17,000, Mr. Schwartz explained. The project coordinator would give the projects structural direction and a lawyer would aid in research and take all questionable matters to court. The Finance Committee reportedly considers the need for these professionals “top-heavy,” but Mr. Schwartz argued that without either one, “The organization wouldn’t be worth anything.” SA Treasurer Sal Napoli admitted that WNYPIRG’s budgetary request was “justified,” but the additional request for the project coordinator and lawyer (plus two work-study people) may be more than SA can afford. Mr. which WNYPIRG Napoli said the $13,000 figure members are saying the Finance Committee has decided upon for their allocation “did not ring a bell” and might be merely a “pressure tactic” which would not be considered. - — Reasonable figure Gary Schwartz, WNYPIRG Treasurer, believes $25,000 was a “reasonable figure to ask for.” While this represents a significant rise over last year’s $3000 budget, Mr. Schwartz feels WN YPIRG’s operating efficiency would also increase comparatively. Along with Donald Ross, Director of NYPIRG, Mr. Schwartz met with the SA Finance Committee in February when most of the promises of financial support for WNYPIRG were made. However, in a meeting earlier this month, Mr. Schwartz felt the Finance Committee refused to “face the issues,” Lower level Mr. Napoli added that WNYPIRG could function on less than $25,000, but not at the same level as the consumer group originally intended. Finance Committee member Michael Phillips expressed a stronger opinion against WNYPIRG’s budget hopes, arguing that the money requests for a project coordinator and a lawyer were unjustifiable. “Most JILLYs Happy Birthday In —Santos Paul Mones organizations work with a small staff and build up to a level of competency,” while WNYP1RG wants to rise “from a level of nothing,” Mr. Phillips said. ‘They claimed they lacked the supervision during their efforts this year,” Mr. Phillips added, “but the fault is within themselves.” The $25,000 that would enable WNYPIRG to join state-wide NYP1RG will all stay on this campus, to be used for the consumer research the group undertakes, such as supermarket and drug-pricing .surveys this year. As part of the agreement, NYPIRG would pay WNYPIRG’s share estimates range from $4000 and up of running the state organization, since mandatory fees cannot be used for an outside organization. The PIRGs at other state campuses are charged $3 per student; The $25,000 allocation is a compromise so that after a one-year trial, students could decide whether it was worth funding WNYPIRG at a higher level. But that $25,000 allocation is now in doubt. — — from all of us! Friday, 19 April 1974 The Spectrum Page three . . �Interdisciplinaryapproach Broader attitude toward health by Linda Wagner Spectrum Staff Writer Suppose you get sick. You go to the campus health clinic and a nurse asks what your problem is and writes down your complaints. Then you see the doctor, who orders lab tests. After you receive the results, you find that you have a problem requiring a specialist. You see the specialist, who orders more lab tests and a fex X-rays. After deciding upon a diagnosis, the doctor gives you a prescription, which the pharmacist fills. Nurse, general practioner, lab technician, medical you’ve seen specialist. X-ray technician, pharmacist them all. All of them, purportedly, serve the same function making and keeping you well. This common function lies behind current efforts among faculty, administrators and students in Health Sciences at this University to create an interdisciplinary approach to the education of health professionals. shared by a variety of health professionals, such as anatomy, physiology and nutrition. Also, health professionals have many common problems such as medico-ethical questions,, the management of health care services, the difficulty of dealing with sickness every day, and the administration of drugs, he added. Andy Doniger, a medical student and member of the - - Interdisciplinary conference planned Students and faculty are planning a “Conference on interdisciplinary cooperation among health science students," to take place Wednesday, April 24th. Meanwhile, Dr. Norm Mohl, chairperson of the Academic Planning Committee Council of Health Science Senators, is preparing a budget proposal for a health-science-wide nutrition course beginning in the 197S-76 academic year. “The delivery of health care is an interdisciplinary process,” said Dr. Donald A. Larson, professor of Biology and Vice President for Health Sciences. “Thus, the education of health professionals should be an interdisciplinary process,” he added. Thfe interdisciplinary approach is intended to increase understanding among health science students of the training and roles of other health professionals, and thus, to lead to greater cooperation between professionals in the clinical area of health delivery. The final goal is the improvement of health care for the patient, according to Dr. Larson. “Committee for Community Responsibility and Social Affairs,” noted the need for health professionals working together in the field to remember that “everybody is a human being.” He also warned of the “subtle process of learning to adopt a role toward other health professionals” in medical school. Mr. Doniger, along with other students in the nursing, pharmacy, dental and medical schools, have planned a conference on interdisciplinary cooperation.

Anders, pediatric psychiatrist, and Jeff Koup, a senior pharmacy student. After the presentation, the audience will break into informal groups to discuss the issues raised. Refreshments will be served. Irene Mahar, associate professor of Community Health, chaired a group of faculty members from the schools of pharmacy, dentistry, health-related professions, and social policy, which developed a course entitled, "Multi-disciplinary processes in health care delivery.” The course, which was first offered in Spring 1972, was offered again this semester as an elective. However, conflicts with the clinical schedules of medical, dental and pharmacy students made it impossible for them to register for the course. Since the registered students were not representative of the various health science disciplines, the course was dropped, according to Ms. Mahar. Nutrition emphasized “Extreme student interest” exists for such courses, said Ms. Mahar, adding, “I personally feel that courses of this nature should be offered every semester.” She cited publicity and scheduling as the major difficulties encountered in offering the course. “It takes a great effort to develop new courses in the health sciences,” said Dr. Norm Mohl. Health Science 's Bureau SA 11rin rrir niTMTlSlffi/ltStfii Yi V : •* departments are understaffed, the faculty already have large workloads, and most of the students’ schedules are filled with required courses. Dr. Mohl explained. However, Dr. Mohl will ask for funds from the 1975-76 state budget to develop a nutrition program in the health sciences. “The object is to bring in new individuals who are experts in nutrition to teach on all levels here,” he said, noting that a University-wide course in nutriton is part of the proposal. According to Dr. Mohl, the nutriton program would serve two functions: 1) it is an area of common interest to all health science professionals, and 2) it is an important component of preventive health care. While noting that “first, people in the health science fields have to be- educated in nutrition,” he also emphasized the need for public education and research into nutrition. A modest program in nutrition “may be possible” for the 1974-75 academic year, said Dr. Mohl. Women’s pre-law meeting Women pre-law students are asked to attend a special meeting on Saturday, April 20th, at 10:30 a.m. The featured speaker will be Judith Younger, Dean-Elect of the Syracuse University School of Law, who will speak on “Women and the Legal Profession.” Female faculty and students from the U.B. Law School will also be present and participate in a panel discussion. �SC ATE considered for replacing ACT system Spectrum Staff Writer After arguments were rehashed for and against reorganizing the program that utilizes student evaluations of their professors, the Faculty-Senate, with a bare quorum, voted to pass Physics professor Jonathan Reichert’s motion last Tuesday. In a controversial ruling on the vote, Faculty-Senate Chairman Gilbert Moore ordered that the motion had passed as a “substitute motion” rather than a technically different “amendment by total substitution.” His ruling is questionable because if the motion is interpreted as an “amendment by total substitution," a second vote would have been necessary. However, a second vote would not have been binding due to the loss of a mandatory quorum. Dr. Moore expects his ruling- to be challenged at the next Faculty-Senate meeting. With this in mind. Dr. Moore has written to President Robert Ketter to explain the circumstances. Dr. Ketter will probably not act on the motion until after the next Senate meeting,, presently scheduled for May 7, sources in the Senate indicated. Ambiguous results Dr. Reichert’s motion was based on another motion introduced by the Faculty-Senate Committee on Teaching Effectiveness. The Committee submitted an exhaustive report on the Analysis of Courses and Teaching (ACT) instrument to the Faculty-Senate on April 2. Among the report’s findings were the following: 1) “Faculty responses strongly suggest that instructors find it difficult to use the compiled. ACT evaluations as a guide to how fhey might improve their own teaching performance,” which defeats one of the main goals of the ACT program; 2) Apparently, one must be a veritable statistician to interpret the results; 3) There is marked reluctance on the part of a significant portion of individuals [willing] to participate in the process; 4) It is generally conceded that the current ACT questionnaire is not suitable for evaluation of clinical faculty; 5) ACT has failed to provide information to students. In addition, students find the ratings hard to interpret.” Due to the widespread discontent with the program, the Committee recommended developing a continuing program “to promote quality instruction on this campus.” Its most innovative and important recommendation was creating a Center for Instructional Development which would help professors improve their teaching effectiveness. Separate questionnaires? In eyes of Dr. Reichert, the Committee’s report missed on two vital points. The report urged that an “experimental” program be continued. However, Dr. Reichert does not want to continue the program experimentally because he feels that an experimental venture won’t be taken as seriously as a mandatory system. This is included in his motion. In order to improve the questioning instrument itself. Dr. Reichert emphasized decentralizing the system. His motion states that “the seven individual Faculty units shall constitute their own teaching evaluation committee with significant representatives from both the undergraduate and graduate student population of their faculties.” This will force each Faculty to design an instrument best suited to its needs. The new motion also intends to include students on the Center of Instructional Development: “It (the Center] shall work with each Faculty unit and its provost to help establish faculty-student [both undergraduate and graduate] committees on teaching evaluation.” ■ 1 rv “* Public or private? One concession that Dr. Reichert has made is to give faculty units discretion to release the results of the evaluations. He explains this as a political move to appease those faculty members who are frightened of having their profiles made public. Carefully worded in the motion to urge greater publicity for the results, Dr. Reichert writes: “Individual faculty units shall, for the immediate future, determine the extent of the dissemination of the information gathered.” Taking exception only to the fact that the results will not be made immediately mandatory, James E. McConnell, chairman of the Committee on Teaching Effectiveness, has praised the motion. Debate was, for the most part, in favor of the motion, including a plea from Charles Ebert, dean of Undergraduate Education, to preserve an evaluation program. “I know that I have learned from student evaluations in the past,” Dr. Ebert told the Faculty-Senate. “I have a tendency to speak too fast when I lecture, and I have only learned this from evaluation,” the Dean continued. He also urged that the results be made mandatory throughout the University. $100,000 or $39.28? George Hochfield, Faculty-Senate chairman-elect, argued fervently against the motion, pointing out that the motion creates more bureaucracy by creating eight committees instead of one central one. “We’ve asked the Admipistration to 'support, wifiT Tunas, me Colleges to the best of their ability,’’, he said. We>e asked the Administration to support to the best of their ability other pieces of legislation, he continued: “Do we want to spend an amount somewhere in the neighborhood of $100,000 for a program whose goals are extremely obscure?” Dr. Hochfield asked the Senate. The response was applause. The $100,000 figure was shot down by William Allen, professor of History, who noted that the History’s Department own evaluation program cost $39.28. The idea of making a questioning instrument better suited to the University as a whole, and of getting students involved with teachers to design the questionnaire, was attempted for the Spring *73 questionnaire, explained Bruce Francis, former associate director of the ACT program and assistant professor of Higher Education. “Except that we used one questionnaire for the whole University,” he said, unlike Dr. Reichert’s plan for a different questionnaire for each Faculty. “Dr. Reichert’s idea is a good one,” Dr. Francis added. The possibility for a University SCATE (Student Course And Teaching Evaluations) appears to be growing, according to SA Academic Affairs Coordinator Mark Humm. “We can plug into Dr. Reichert’s proposal very well,” he claimed. “We are planning for a literary’ type SCATE; a synopsis of courses and teachers.

Linder Petition for Lawler A committee of students and faculty has I initiated a petition campaign calling for the reappointment of Philosophy professor James Lawler. Dr. Lawler was recommended for reappointment by the Philosophy Department, his department chairman, the Personnel Committee of the Faculty of Social Sciences, and the acting Provost of Social Sciences, yet was rejected by the office of vice-president for Academic Affairs, Bernard Gelbaum. Students and faculty from all departments are invited to circulate petitions; they J can be picked up at the Student Association office, Room 205 Norton Hall. * - • , * ” More than meets the eye... The wares of the Browsing Library-Music Room; located on the second floor of Norton Hall, reflects the current literary and musical trends within theTJniversity community. “We feel that students should know more about the services offered to the students and faculty by the Browsing Library-Music Room,” said one staff member. “Very few people know that books may be taken out for two-week intervals.” The Browsing Library contains 158 periodicals, various newspapers, including The New York Timess, Village Voice, and Rolling Stone, and a wide variety of magazines. The 3000 books range from current novels to classics and art books. The library has ordered dance books and some of the more recent works of poetry. A moratorium on overdue books will be held from April 28-May 3. During this time, students or faculty will not be charged overdue fees as long as the books are returned. Rock ’n roll, popular jazz, blues, folk and classical music can be listened to in the adjacent Music Room. The entire classical collection and some of the popular music may be borrowed for a three-day period. “It’s a nice place to come and read or relax,” said the staff member. “We always like to hear suggestions from the people who use our facilities concerning any new. records or books which would be worthwhile for the library to purchase. We are trying to make it so that more people become aware of all that we offer.” 9 M 1 %) Reproduce in 355 Norton Hali CvV ANCE1 5 J WHAT’S OUR BAG? knit Ar Mod Clothes, double knit baggies, lean suits, slacks, shirts, tops the latest in or bottoms for Guys or Gals from tiny to huge szes.

On Friday The Spectrum published its extra; on Saturday the Courier-Express and Buffalo Evening News both had full stories on the issue; by (Monday, radio and TV stations around the state were focusing on the bill.

Senator Marchi's most misleading in the student newspaper controversy is that he was nobly trying to protect the "rights" of students who did not want their fees used to support their student newspaper. Mandatory student activity fees are only mandatory because the students them as such in periodic approve referendums. And students do determine whether campus publications should be funded at all through their elected representatives in student government. Although student fees are not public tax money but a self-imposed fee for student benefit, Albany periodically plays politics with the fees by trying to determine how they can be spent. SUNY Central in Albany also gets into the act, as with its recent negative ruling on using fees for health care. which President Ketter is now appealing to — . — newspaper, not with the government. . . . the Trustees. But if students can't use their fees for newspapers and health care if Albany says, OK, kids, you can only spend your money on movies and concerts then the mandatory fee wilt become useless. At that point, student governments might opt to collect their own voluntary activity fee, attempting to overcome the problem that people wouldn't pay it by making its benefits attractive enough at low cost so that its advantages would provide an irresistable incentive. Students are growing tired of being told by Albany bureaucrats how they can spend their $67 fee. The mandatory system has worked well, but it may be headed for extinction if the state does not abandon its attempts to completely control the fee for their own political purposes. — — * Page six The Spectrum . . To the Editor. compiled intensive profiles of area legislators, done a supermarket-pricing survey, instituted a state law banning unsafe toys, colored the high prices or prescription drugs, and investigated local telephone rates and proposed a dormitory switchboard which could save each dorm student $2 a month and now it is asking for only $1.50 per student this year. All students are consumers, and the entire University will benefit from the valuable consumer research WNYPIRG will be capable of with an adequate budget. Finding the $25,000 for WNYPIRG by cutting other areas will not be easy, but SA owes it to the students to carry out their mandate by fully funding this vital consumer - group. Friday, 19 April 1974 It is with considerable dismay that I read Ms. Dian» Miller’s report on the organizational meeting of the Committee Against Racism which appeared in The Spectrum of April 15th. I realize that in a lively discussion such as the one held last Wednesday with a number of panel members as well as many speakers from the floor, it is easy to mis-quote or what I think has happened in this case assign a quote or paraphrase made by one speaker to another. As a faculty member who is concerned about racism in American society it is particularly disturbing to be mis-quoted in a manner which may well lead to devisiveness. Specifically, I did not say “Racism is one of Ketter’s weapons- to divide us.” I did not suggest that the “Committee Against Racism publically opposed The Spectrum, Ethos and the EOP Program.” 1 did not say that I “would like to see faculty, students and parents and organizations like SU unite with labor unions to create unity.” I did not accuse either Professor John Halstead or Professor Paul Kurtz of being racists, nor did 1 say that The Spectrum, Ethos and Humanist magazines are all racist. Communication between black and white, between faculty, students and administration is difficult enough without this sort of gross inaccuracy. Roger R. Woock Professor 19th century behavior mod and why WNYPIRG must be funded Students mandated 3-to-1 last fall's . in referendum that the consumer group WNYPIRG was a top priority. Despite the annual fiscal crunch. Student Association has a responsibility to "re-order its priorities" and fund WNYPIRG at the promised $25,000 level. This will of course necessitate drawing monies from other areas. A $25,000 budget, would enable WNYPIRG to join state wide NYPIRG, but WNYPIRG's contribution to NYPIRG would be subsidized by others for a one-year trial run, with the $25,000 exclusively benefiting University students. The consumer group is asking $9000 for a staff lawyer, $8000 for a project coordinator, and minimal expenses for projects and travel. This year, with a npthing budget, WNYPIRG has done a sex-discrimination employment study. Racist remarks misquoted — playing politics with fees . argument . The rapidity with which Mr. March! was able to line up the conservative votes for his repressive bill is unnerving, and should serve as a warning to students to fiercely resist any future attempts to put the government in the editor's seat. But college newspapers must recognize that the freedom to publish is also the responsibility to refrain from libel or offensive obscenity. But that responsibility as well as the subjective determination of what is offensive must remain with the student editors who publish each campus To the Editor. I would like to call your attention to a laxity in research in your article on Behavior Modification, in which you stated that the “token economy was pioneered in the 1960’s.” The fact is that such a practice was used in the early 19th century, during the period of “reform” of mental asylums (v. Michel Foucault, Madness and Civilization). At the time however, there was a much more direct relationship between “behavior problems” and the expanding industrial economy, although the affinity of behavioralism with American capitalism, despite protestations of “scientific objectivity, becomes more evident with each apology that appears. One might also remember that a person can be declared legally insane today in certain states for such disorders as gambling, idleness, improvidence, a “wasteful course of conduct,” and for being a spendthrift (Allen, Ferster, &Weihofen, Mental Impairment and Legal Jncompptency, 1968). James Leigh �No grasp of theology V*. Through th.e ooking C rltiBa To the Editor: Mr. Kaplan has a great grasp of cynicism, but of theology, Jewish or Christian. Three essential points of Christian theology he should non? by Barry Kaplan know about; - The past few years have witnessed a rapid slide in student enrollment in what has been traditionally labeled “the humanities.” The subjects that loosely fit into this category were once considered vital to a person’s education, and without a “general” education, a student of the sciences would be blandly labeled a technician. However, the recent emphasis upon sciences and “practical skills” has eroded the once-supreme position of the humanities, and if this trendcontinues, it could have enormous implications for our future. For without the broaioverview, all of the practical education in the world will not fill the void left by de-emphasizing the humanities. Part of the blame rests upon the disciplines themselves, for they have become complacent and stodgy over the years; self-confident that the world would never pass them by. All of us can remember that pleasant spring day when a dull, boring; unconcerned professor recited his set speech whether it pertained to English romantic poetry, the meaning of man’s existence, or some obscure fact that happened to be his dissertation thirty years ago. This type of education is not limited to the humanities, however in an age where relevance and understanding are paramount, a poor humanities class is a sure death warrant for further student interest. For many years, these departments were bouyed by the stark guidelines ofacademic life that required students to take humanities courses, whether they wanted to or not. These human sacrifices sat through the courses and after their education was “got,” relegating the trivia of the humanities to the dark and deserted recesses of their minds. One of the greatest losers in the eternal search for student minds has been the various history departments in America’s colleges. Squeezed between the new, progressive courses offered by “free” schools and the lack of rigid educational requiremerTts, the history departments have suffered, and looked inward In order to revise In wwar their teaching methods, as well as what they are supposed to teach. Historians and their discipline have been stereotyped as dull, factual, unimaginative and elitist in nature. As a graduate student in history now writing my dissertation, of course my bias would be obvious; however, I feel it’s important to show what history is all about, and dispel the dull decay that is linked with history. As a teacher in my own course and as a graduate assistant, 1 have been constantly barraged with comments that relegated.history to the scrapheap of the educational system. Either history was a string of facts about people that had no relation to reality, or history was just dates, names and wars with no coherence or thematic web. Unfortunately, these students, already soured on history by unimaginative high school rote teaching, fail to grasp the fact that history is simply the story of people’s lives all people. All too often students memorized facts and were required to regurgitate these facts at the 1) Redemption is not just for man, it’s also for God. If God had not made redemption possible (the choice whether to accept it is ours), our own actions would damn us to separatiofrom Him. As Mr. Kaplan ably pointed out, we are not perfect. But he forgot that God is. 2) Forgiveness is never one-sided. Forgiveness only allows repentance. And repentance is not a change of attitude nearly as much as it is a change of action. Remember Christ’s words to the adulteress after he had forgiven her; “Now go and sin no more.” (John 8:11) 3) Christ’s resurrection, a fact as well validated as any of ancient times, guarantees the power needed to live the Christian life. So called Christians who don’t follow Christ, like the Pharisees, fail to fool not only Mr. Kaplan; they don’t fool God. But it is not the hypocrites Mr. Kaplan must explain; it is the resurrected Christ. Jonathan H.

Miller, who covered the April 10th Forum of the Committee Against Racism, attributed several statements that were in fact made by me to another panelist, Dr. Roger Woock. These includedln particular the sharp anti-racist attacks I made upon UB personnel: Ketter, Halstead and Kurtz, as well as The Spectrum, Ethos and the Humanist. Considering the political reprisals the UB administration has recently made against James Lawler, such misquotes by The Spectrum reporters could conceivably lead to further headaches. Charles Reitz Labor Party Progressive — The SpccT^iiM without thought or real appropriate times insight. Of course, the history of one bill or another, the tracing of international bloodshed, or glorified portraits of yesterday’s heroes, night be enough to drive anyone from the study of history. Yet history is a story of the changing lifestyles of humans, of changing thought and recreational patterns, of changing modes of governmental thought, of different modes of dress it is the charted path that humanity has chosen to follow. Do you wish to understand present problems? The past has the patterns that if traced properly, could peel away the rhetoric and reveal the bare essence of human existence. Maybe you just like a good story; history is full, of fanciful yarns, improbable actions, and they all happened one time or another up on the face of this planet. History, besides possessing the key to today’s problems, is also a method to chart our own personal growth. Although supposed social and cultural revolutions occur every few years, a little background in history would be helpful in understanding present societal changes. We could understand where our ideas and beliefs originated; we could contrast our lives with our predecessors in order to obtain a wider perspective upon our own lives. Of course history, if presented properly, is intrinsically fascinating and spellbinding in its own right. To those people, like myself, who have definite Walter Mitty-ish tendencies, the delving into the past armed with historical hindsight, can be a worthwhile and utterly enjoyable enterprise. History as a discipline has grown and adapted new fields and techniques of study. The use of computers has uncovered a treasure grove of heretofore ignored sources and people. History is concerned about people, how they lived, died, loved, worshipped, played and what they believed. “History from the bottom up” promoted by supposed radical historians, is just another method for students to trace the heritage - Culture, the history of the movies, radio, mass consumption, styles, and other aspects of society that previous historians dismissed as trivia or trash, is one course of study that can bridge the chasm between generations. Popular culture of any period reveals to us the Zeitgeist of that time, and uncovers the major factors that revolutionized people’s lives. Cto you feel a gap with your values and those of your parents? If you do, maybe if you studied your parents’ lives through a popular history course, as given by Dr. Plesur, you might have more compassion and understanding for the values of an earlier generation. It would seem that I have emphasized various reasons for studying history; s#me that history professors might object to, as being too too relevant. Yet imagine yourself presentist 50 years from now and some hot-shot historian wants to know about the decades of the ’60s and the i’70s. Your story is history that story is what your life was all about. - — Friday, 19 April 1974 Vol. 24.

M* -*■ BLT * Questionable support To the Editor: Your statement in the “extra” edition of Friday’s The Spectrum, that students faculty, and administrators on any state campus would overwhelmingly support the funding of a student newspaper cannot be contended. However, whether students, faculty and administrators on any state campus would overwhelmingly support the funding of their present student newspaper is highly questionable. from Buffalo April 12,1974 It’s not easy being a law-and-oidcr Republican these days. The 'magic aura of a tough-minded administration bestowing its golden touch upon fortunate local candidates by a condescending President in Washington is a thing of the past. Now, as a half-dozen recent elections testify, the touch of President Nixon is touch of death. James Sparling Ir. learned this lesson the hard way last Tuesday in a special Congressional election held in. Michigan’s eighth district. A traditional Republican in a traditionally Republican area, Mr. Sparling could normally be counted on to win handily, regardless of the caliber of his foe. A last-minute visit by President Nixon to northern Michigan apparently sealed the doom of the man he As stated in your consitution, the purpose of your newspaper is “to provide stimulating coverage of events for the academic community,” “to foster effective dissemination news thru-out the campus and Western N.Y.,” and to “stimulate awareness.” In short, its purpose is educational.. However, people within and outside of this academic newspaper and I feel that your newspaper has too often violated their dignity and integrity: The April Fools issue and the Christmas issue have proved this. I therefore find it hard to believe that you always are pursuing your purpose as stated in your constitution. In view of the legislature's attempt to prohibit the use of student fees to support your newspaper, it therefore would be a good idea to take an introspective look at what you have been doing and at what your purpose is. Philip set out to help. There was no chance for this election to escape the national limelight; just as the five previous ones since Mr. Nixon’s and the Republican party’s problems began mounting earlier in the year could not go unnoticed. The effect was to transform a local ballot into a national opinion poll which would be eagerly used by the Democrats to denounce the President if the electorate repudiated him or used to defend Mr. Nixon in the wake of crippling public opinion polls if the voters chose his Republican favorite. One gets the impression that nowhere in this complex lineup was there room for either Mr. Sparling or Bob Traxler, his Democratic opponent. Judging from the statements issued after the election by both sides, the election process was indeed the voice of the entire nation. The somewhat comic sight of several hundred over-anxious Democratic campaign workers cheering for the impeachment of Richard Nixon and extolling the mandate received by the Democrats from the people of Middle America (once the haunting grounds of the silent majority) to purge the government of the corruption Mr. Nixon has brought to it is enough to arouse uispicion from even the most resolute supporter of nnmediate impeachment. The election has been blown way out of proportion. It started out as a local election and let no one fool you, that is exactly what it wound up as. The only ones who cast their ballots were those living in Saginaw, Badaxe,- and the surrounding vicinity. Ballooning the Democratic victory into a reflection of the mood of the country and a prelude oLUhings to come next November is as gross an exaggeration as those made by Mr. Nixon only a few short weeks ago when he regarded cheering crowds in Houston and Baton Rouge as a sure indicator that the people of the nation were behind him. The Democratic party fully intends to capitalize on the scandals tied to the Nixon administration. When asked about the developing situation where every obscure candidate ia every far-strung district tuns not against his opponent but against the record of Richard Nixon, Democratic chairman Robert Strauss could only comment, “Well, the Democrats managed to run against Hoover for 30 years.” Is that Smith — A fable To the Editor. “What a happy body you are!” said the Legislative Body to the Student Press. “Be good enough to lie still while I walk upon you, descanting upon the blessings of civil liberty and freedom of the press. In the meantime you can relieve your feelings censorship of the media by the “My public servants have been fools and rogues from the date of your accession to power,” replied the Press; “my administration and faculty are corrupt; the restrictions placed upon me are unbearable; the members of this community are fools all my affairs are in d sorder and criminal t confusion.” “That is all very true,” said the Legislative Body, putting on its spiked shoes; “but consider how trivial this all will be come summer, especially on the Fourth of July.” — Ambrose Bierce ■ ■■ what we are in for? Is the dirt that hat come out of Washington since the Watergate scandal going to lead only to continued party bickering? What about the pledged reforms and subsequent cleanup of government promised on all levels? It’s going to be easy to forget about all this if the Democrats content themselves with waving the bloody flag for the next decade. The real significance of what happened in Michigan, and what happened earlier in Ohio, Pennsylvania and in Gerald Ford’s old Michigan district, is that it serves merely as a preview of things to come. Next fall, when the entire House of Representatives is up for re-election, the intensity of the political speculation will make everything that happens now look trite. No doubt most candidates who lack the confidence in their own qualifications will resort to attacking the Republican administration in general and Mr. Nixon in particular. The sheer number of the races will prevent national attention from focusing on too many of them. By that time it is quite possible that the electorate will, as Mr. Nixon ardently hopes, forget about the Watergate scandal and return to the business of running the country. If that happens, it can only be blamed on those alleged anti-Nixon Democrats, champions of justice, whose only announced intent is to rid the White House of corruption. If they continue to use the Repbulican setbacks as a tool for increasing their controlling power, then they have failed to serve the interest of the country and have in effect, replaced one form of corruption with another. This new form may prove even more deadly because it is not as sensational and will never arouse the anger that the blundering incompetent corruption of the Nixon administration has. It is the type of corruption that places personal and party interest above the interest of the country and slowly bleeds the people of everything they have. In the haste to chastise and punish the President and his Republican supporters (who deserve to be taken to task), let us not confuse the issues and resort to arming ourselves with the same weapons and using the same tactics that we denounce in our opposition. Mr. Nixon should be impeached for the crimes he and his staff have committed; not for the political expediencies beneficial to the Democrats. The effort to convict him or force him to step down should not be turned into a political circus for the benefit of thousands of hungry spectators and a handful of shrewd Democratic tacticians whose sights are set on the Presidential election of 1976. The support is already lining up. Big labor has stuck its neck onthe line by calling for impeachment and thus gambling on the support of Democrats who hope to realign themselves with the funds and influence of the big unions. Liberal press groups repeat the demands for impeachment to a saturation level where there exists nothing but confusion and clouded issues. Every old-line conservative Democrat is slowly assuming a more energetic stance on the impeachment issue and thus associating himself with the expected upcoming re-exertion of liberal power that will supposedly throw Mr. Nixon out of office. The country will be no better off by throwing President Nixon out of the White House unless steps are taken to prevent such abuses in the future. The relaxation of conscience that followed the apparent end of the war in Indochina will probably do a repeat performance. Just as the war went on, the corruption will go on; the only major difference being the many eased consciences of those sitting back and congradulating themselves for doing something for their country. -Michael O’Neill Volunteer readership To the Editor. ■ Since coming to UB, I have been a regular reader of The Spectrum. News reports, editorials, special features, columns I read them all. Quite frankly, 1 was not impressed. The only thing that every really impressed me about the newspaper was its taste, which I thought stunk. To what am I referring here? There was the Raggedy Ann Christmas Cover, of course, but there were lots of other things as well. Blacks get insulted (“the Bull Shit Union”), Jews got insulted (“Jewish racist pig mother fuckers”), even Grateful Dead fans got insulted (“shit, they’re assholes”). These quotes stand out in my mind, not because of any innate outrageousness (though there was plenty of that), but because they were so completely gratuitous, so totally unwarranted. One idiot sends in a letter and The Spectrum publishes it; ten other idiots get mad, send in more letters, and those get published too. Why? I called Mr. Kurtz once and asked him. He said they were expressions of sentiment in the community, deserving of communication, and deserving of other expressions to balance them? This was Howie Kurtz’s perception of his editorial function. He has a right to that perception, of course, as I have a right to my own perception of his performance (Intellectual Trash-Compactor of - Page eight. The Spectrum . Linear Media). And, if I got upset, there wasn’t too much that I could do, other than an occasional letter to the editor such as this one. Now, The Spectrum isn’t the only newspaper that upsets me. The Times sometimes does it, the Courier-Express sometimes does it, even the Jewish Daily Forward sometimes does it. But when that happens, there’s a difference. There is something I can do. I can not buy it! In all of my time at UB, I have never been able to not buy The Spectrum. That is, I discovered, upon registering, that my fees entitled me to a year’s subscription. “Entitled” is the wrong word, of course; I had to subscribe. ‘And while I didn’t actually have to pick up a copy and read it, there was still that subscription of mine, which I didn’t want to waste. So three times a week The Spectrum would be waiting for me ih Norton, dumped in the lobby like cowslop in a feed-pen. It was better than Food Service there were always seconds. And there was never anything I could do about it. Last Friday I learned that the N.Y. State Legislature is doing something about it. I am glad. I have never been able' to understand why my attending a state university should entail my receiving both an education and a student newspaper. Nor have I understood how The Spectrum could ever explain away the fact that its Friday, 19 April 1974 circulation had so little to do with its merits as a paper, though it did just that in its special Friday edition. In all the screaming it engaged in, in all of its righteous tantrum-throwing, there was absolutely no mention of the possibflity that The Spectrum might, just might, be able to survive on its own. Why is that? Why has The Spectrum chosen to exist as a parasite, when there are countless self-sustaining student newspapers in existence. The United States can survive with a volunteer army; why can’t Tfie Spectrum survive with a volunteer readership? It now appears that the Legislature has taken this matter out of your hands, in which case I would like to welcome you to the real world, where, quite honestly, no one owes you anything. May you survive and prosper, and may you have all the readers you deserve. Sam Kazman — Editor’s note: The Spectrum is the most self-sufficient student newspaper on any State University campus, with three-quarters of its revenue coming from advertising. Additionally, the amount of student fees which benefit The Spectrum, or whether it shall receive any funds at all, is determined by the students’ elected representatives in student government. �: • t »tw Rirtdl Schnur Assistant Arts Editor ar. * £M9SI ' J.V'i ,, >1 .* -*•, j' v; *';?*’t-^ The big bank robbers of the Depression Era are among the most popular of the many folk heroes the American public has created. Whether loved or feared and most often they generated both emotiohs simultaneously they personified both the Great American Dream of the upward climb to "success," and our desire for revenge against the incomprehensible and overwhelming forces which stripped to many people of everything they owned. This, as we all know by now, is the stuff of which legends are made. Authors like Edward Anderson, who wrote the novel Thieves Like Us in 1937, understood this potential right away and directors like Robert Altman, who has just translated Anderson's book onto film (actually first done in 1949 by Nicholas Ray with They Live By Night), have still not lost sight of it The thieves in question are three men T-Dub (Bert Remsen), a graying, amiable man whose two missing toes have not prevented him from robbing 37 banks; Chickamaw (John Schuck), who laughs like a hyena at his own atrocious jokes and loves love, drink, and robbing banks, more or less in that order; and Bowie (Keith Carradine), a 23-year-old country boy whose coming of age is the film's most carefully traced development.

Here, minus the make-up and fancy clothes, she is the essence of the child-woman. With the voice and body of a twelve-year-old boy, she turns herself into a woman as soon as she begins to love Bowie. She has an almost magical power to go back and forth at will, and seems just as comfortable-arm-wrestling as she does house-hunting. We last see her trying to start a conversation with a stranger in a lonely railroad station, and we are given no clues as to whether her pregnancy, also lonely,,will deprive her of that power; but it seems to be all that she has. The rest of the actors range from very adequate to excellent. Chickamaw's Heavy load The film is so loaded with period details that a lesser company might not have been able to keep it from sinking into the widening morass of patronizing campiness. Altman, however, keeps his background where it belongs, and the characters are nearly always more interesting than their hairstyles or the music they listen to. Qf the four main roles, Shelley Duvall's Keechie is the most sensitive and successful. Altman last used her as the slightly demented Astrodome guide turned TuY. il l l lllll 'l l l transition from good-humored vulgarity to unyielding hostility was a bit sudden, and coulcj have done with some more explanation; his occasional bursts of violence are too jarring to be passed over so quickly. But such relatively minor flaws don't really detract from the quality of the film as a whole. Thieves Like Us is well-directed, beautifully acted, and well worth the trip to the Amherst Theater. �Full evening oflively comedy playlets on ElmwoodA venue Tomorrow night Ray Davies and the Kinks will be slippin' and a slidin' into Buffalo’s Century Theater.

Entertaining parody of twenties musicals by Michael Silvetblatt Contributing/Editor , s> ' "■ Certainly; James Waring's Titanic Love is silly and frivolous. It is alsd delightful. It is probably the most entertaining and professional production I've seen at this school. The piece is "an anthology" of musical comedy songs, cleverly strung together in a skeletal parody of musical comedy structure. Arthur Williams, who wrote the book for the musical, is clearly familiar with all the tricks and cliches of musical comedy plotting. Without belaboring a single hoary turn, he succeeds in creating a lovable pastiche. So many of these 'endeavors (Little Mary Sunshine, Dames at Sea, Curly McDImple) become tedious because they simultaneously insist on the value of the worV they're parodying and the idiocy of that same work Dance and gesture Titanic Love is deft, funny, and restrained. It does not trip itself up in the paradox of parodying a mode that it intends to expose as stupid from the start. In other words, it consistently points out its love for the twenties their professionalism, musicals their slickness, their 'odd worldly — V innocence, their surprising vocabulary of dan’cp and gesture. It is hardly an original observation that love songs in musical comedies can be "read" as a kind of courtship ritual. At the same time, hardly anyone has commented on the extraordinary vocabulary of musical comedy gestures, gestures almost' as expressive as the physical postures of a pantomime. Stylish cast James Waring, the Theater Department's visiting choreographer, is particularly sensitive to nuances and gesture. He has exquisitely styled this production in its costuming, its decor, but particularly in its acting. The cast perfectly (and, rarest of all, uniformly) enacts the — postures of the twenties the but slightly cross-eyed "exotic" Miss Irene (beautifully, —, sultry hilariously portrayed by Sally Fox), the sneezy, baggy-pants-ed comedian and his slow-eyed moll (Michael Grodenchik is a marvelous Bert Lahr-ish comic, Elaine Crasser his partner is quite a dancer and very funny their mopey plaint "Cheatin' On Me" was a highlight), the prudish Red Cross nurse who becomes a spicy hubba-hubba temptress when she teaches the boys "a little number" — she learned down in Mexico singing "The shaking her maracas as the chorus "learns" the dance was a zesty touch), the vain actor who wants to display his maroon smoking jacket (Steven Classman, charming on stage for (Diane Zwolinski Kinkajou” and directed all these types, he sets running gags carefully awhirl and they all pay off.

The crumbling of morality being taken in being ras frightening. The great 'le to wiretap anyone and anything gave images of futuristic 1984 society, and the dissolution- of man values which goes along with it. The lectronic gadget sounds which intensified the soundtrack at times helped remind the viewer of their omnipresence. The noises would seem to disappear for a while, but they always came back, as strong and clear as ever. Special mention must be made of Gene Hackman's portrayal of Harry Caul. This character is a rather radical change from those which he was asked to play in The French Connection and waj\dt\tl)e'’ and spinning during and between scenes, just as they keep haunting Harry's mind. Slowly, the pieces start to fit together, and we find out why this tape has distressed Harry so much. Outwardly he has given no sign of sensitivity to his work, and has been able to separate it completely from its human aspect. "I don't know anything about human nature,'' he tells his assistant. 'This is my business. It's what I do." Now, however, it has become evident that by having taped the conversation, Harry may bear some responsibility for a future murder. The garbled tape phrase, "He would kill us if he got the chance," shoots through his mind, carrying with it the hidden guilt he has tried to subdue for his unsuspecting role in the murder of a Chicago accountant and his family a few years back. The barriers between his work and the people involved in it begin to break down. Harry cannot try to shrug off another murder resulting from his meddling. His personality is not strong enough for the additional strain.

Nik should she complain. Although Ms. Andrews has made many television appearances and played one small movie part, the role of Mary in Caanack is by far her most important to date. Her previous movie role was in the current film Hit, co-starring Richard Pryor and Billy Dee Williams. Ms. Andrews gets another chance to play a drug addict here as Mr. William's teenage daughter who dies from a drug overdose. by Clam Colucci Contributing Editor Tina Andrew* doesn't look like Tina Andrews. In her indeed, in most of her television roles publicity pictures Ms. Andrews looks about 13 years old. When she comes into a room dressed and made up like a real live adult in her mid-twenties you probably won't recognize her. I didn't and I was holding the publicity photo when she walked by. Ms. Andrews was in town last Thursday to plug her new 20th Century-Fox movie Conrack, starring Jon Voight. She and studio publicity people held a press luncheon at the Executive Motor Inn in advance of the movie's opening. In Conrack, Ms. Andrews plays Mary, a young, impoverished girl who drops out of the school Pat Conroy (Jon Voight) runs. Conroy regards her hostility as a challenge and attempts to win her over by hiring her as a cook and housekeeper and trying, using the latest educational methods, to convince her to attend school. — - — — ■ ‘Show business brat' Ms. Andrews was a "show business brat," learning dancing and piano at an early age. Her career progressed in an orderly fashion. There were no "B" movie schticks like a leading lady who breaks a leg on opening night or discoveries in Schwab's Drug Store. Ms. Andrews moved logically from high school and amateur productions and made the endless rounds of auditions that are an essential part of the business. She got small parts in off off-Broadway productions and gradually, though quickly, moved up to larger parts. In praising her role, Ms. Andrews said her earlier parts lacked the depth Mary has. Too many of her past roles have been flat, overly simple characters sweet little children, schoolgirls and drug addicts (her first major role was a 13-year-old drug addict in an off-off-Broadway muscial called This Street). — Familiar role \ Ms. Andres is no stranger to television movies, however. The Weekend Nun, an ABC Movie of the Week starring Joanna Pettet and Vic Morrow featured her as guess, just try to guess yes, a 13-year-old drug addict. This time, though, she lived. She got a chance at a new misfortune in another ABC television movie. The Girls of Huntington House with Shirley Jones, Mercedes McCambridge and William Windom. Ms. Andrews didn't play a drug addict this time. But she was still a teenager, and now an unwed mother. The five foot tall Chicago native got started in television after playing Ermengarde in the national touring company of Hello, Dolly!, starring Pearl Bailey and Cab Calloway. When she left the show, she did commercials and appeared in The Brady Bunch (no drug addicts likely there), Sanford and Son, The Rookies, Mod Squad and in several episodes of Room 222 as “Esther." Ms. Andrews enjoys working with the other members of the Conrack cast, singling out veteran stage and television actor Paul Winfield who makes a cameo appearance because he is a close friend of director Martin Pitt and because he liked the script. Still young, Ms. Andrews seems clearly on the threshhold of a successful career in stage, screen and television. Even under interview conditions that would keep Rex Reed from getting a word out of the most publicity-starved performers in Hollywood, Ms. Andrews gave the impression of being a serious, unaffected young woman who loves her work. Thou#i friendly and pleasant, she is not, surprisingly, a particularly voluble or extroverted person. She is simply a nice, talented person who works hard at her craft, keeps her eyes open for opportunities and takes them as they come. The odds are they will be coming more often now. Tina Andrews Ms. Andrews conveys real enthusiasm for the part and movie. She's selective about the parts she plays, refusing to do black exploitation films or films capitalizing on sex or violence. But she gets work anyway. Since she can so easily be made to look very young, most of Ms. Andrews' roles have been teenage girls. While she does hope to branch out into a greater variety of roles eventually, she doesn't complain about casting directors the 'Super Cops' Battling the urban police bureaucracy by Bill Maraschiello Spectrum Arts Staff The title characters of The Super Cops (Colvin and Towne police Theaters) are NYPD rookies Dave Greenberg (Ron Leibman) and Bobby Hantz (David Selby). Fed up with the technicalities of learning police long sessions directing work traffic, learning the correct size of garbage cans they long to get out street. More on the — — duty, then reassigned to the Bedford-Stuyvesant section of Brooklyn. Knapp The Commission nails them every time they're out of uniform. (I heard so many "Don't make waves" and ''Don't rock the boat'' thought admonitions that I Greenberg and Hantz were in the Shore Patrol.) Yet they continue to make arrests and to get the arrestees convicted. Even the local black kids grow to admire them, dubbing them Batman and Robin. specifically, they want to start making drug busts. (Only for heroin, mind you; we're supposed to like these guys.) They start making off-duty raids, very successful ones too successful, Casually obsessive Greenberg and Hantz are Hawkeye and Trapper John as oops, locking horns with the urban bureaucracy and corruption instead of medical dogma and in fact. Before long, everyone on the decorum. They're happy-go-lucky force (all of whom, of course, are and easy-going and that's on the take) is after them. They exactly the problem. They're not the obsessive types, so why the try bribery, but with no success. The cops are assigned to desk obsession with doing what they see as their duty? The film is happily free from sermons on the evHs of the needle, but no other reason for their actions is given, except for a very weak save-the-children theme that director Gordon Parks plays down to the point of invisibility. Some of the officials try to stop the they because think cops Greenberg and Hantz are dealing themselves, and I can't blame said officials one bit. It's the only rationale that makes any sense. Because there are a real Greenberg and Hantz, whose exploits were recorded in book form by R.H. Whittemore, The Super Cops is touted as "A True Story." To which I respond with a hearty BULLSHIT. I don't know — — the actual facts behind the Greenberg-Hantz tale, but I do know when somebody's attempting to take me — namely Parks and scenarist Lorenzo Semple, Jr. (Semple, incidentally, wrote several segments of the Batman TV series.) With the "true story" shield to hide behind, they were able to employ the kind of ludicrous that they never exaggeration would have touched if they had been forced to worry about keeping the story plausible. In days of cinematic yore, you could spot the people who weren't on Our Side because they wore black Stetsons. Here you can tell who's who because the tradition-bound, sadistic, and/or dishonest cops are old, gray, and usually fat. Moreover, they're atrocious actors, especially one who calls Greenberg and Hantz down in a voice that sounds like Rod Steiger singing ptainchant. Greenberg and Hantz, however, are young and handsome in a middle-class way, and Leibman at least tries to pump some life into Greenberg's character. They have also been outfitted with the best that the studio's Clever Bam can offer. One remark Greenberg leaves the formidable superior standing mouth agape. (I wonder wh didn't pass up police woi jobs with The New Yorker.) The efforts to stop Greei and Hantz by the people in the Knapp Commission, ji et al„ all under pressure from dope barons who've been pa' them off are so transparei — — clumsy in conception execution that you wonder i such dummies got to be People Power. But that may be the if any movie is populist, it‘. one. To be sure, the v conceivable reason for Graenber and Hantz to be promoted by same Police Department that has hounded them all through the film is the desire to please the crowd. The Super Cops is a waste of time, but it is also a failure on another, more important level. The events in this film are passed off as reality because of the story's slight acquaintance with fact. It is dangerous to peddle the belief that the Common Man can unmask instantaneously corruption, that the evil men in our society do everything but wear handlebar mustaches and black cloaks, and broadcast their intentions. The morality of The Super Cope is drawn from the comic pages as surely as are the nicknames of the main characters, and its acquaintance with reality is only a nodding one.

I hate recording companies who issue such rip-offs. "Best of ..sides never do what they are suppose to do which is to present the "Best of..." a certain artist. Welt, almost never. Everytime I buy a Best of side, I get burned. You know why I get burned? Because I go out and buy every side the dude ever did. "Best of... records give you a taste of what he's doing. Once you hear him, then you get hungry and have to have the full course dinner that particular artist is serving up. Well, kiddies, I got to do the Best of John Mayall this week. So, with the previous statements digested, let's go ... ... �I used to think John Mayall was just another crazy. God, he made so many changes you couldn't keep up with him. I was too dumb to realize that these changes weren't changes for changes sake. Rather, he was trying to do something to which most artists only give lip service. John Mayall was growing, and in his growth, he was creating. He had to be doing something a lot of good players were in and out of his bands. I first heard a Mayall band during the Btuesbreakers period. That's when Clapton was in the band. You all know Eric Clapton, he's the one who stole all his licks the only difference was that Eric from Freddy King speeded 'em up to about 78 rpm and made a lot of bread off of his methedrine interpretation of the blues. (Editor's note: rumor has it around the biz that the elusive Mr. Clapton is so strung out that the only time he can get "high" is when he takes a lethal dose of the stuff stuff being junk, yup, that's what "they" say.) The first Mayall side I bought was Blues From Laurel Canyon, an exemplary performance of a musician's diary. I was convinced after Laurel Canyon that Mayall was more than a passing, quick-change artist. In this light Mayall's "Best of ..." album just doesn't become the usual banding together of tunes gleaned from the last four or five releases. It becomes a restatement of growth, a pause to reflect on what has happened to his and his life. Each album represented herein gives music us a chance to pause and reflect along with Mayall. If you haven't followed Mayall, this album serves the purpose of giving you a taste of his development. A lot of the record features his new jazz-blues fusion group. I have always maintained Blue hatched as a sloppy player, but here, as well as on the fusion albums, he has found a home. Freddie Robinson's playing is laudatory as usual. The only he can't setback seems to come from Mayall himself sing. But the blues is more than a silky voice, it's a feeling and Mayall has enough of those to spare. The Best of John Mayall seems to be just that. Some good, solid musicians showing what they can do. It's more than a sampler of Mayall's work, it shows us just where he is headed from here on in. Another drawback, to regress as usual. Eight beans is a for a moment, is the price tag lot, but if you want that taste you gotta pay the chef. -Bear - — — ... - — Ted Nugent & RECORDS Don't Go." I could never figure out who was the coolest, Ted with his fringe or John Kay and his shades, which he never took off (until he became a folk singer, that is by the way, for all you Steppenwolf fans, and I don't mean Hesse, that band is reforming with most of its original personnel intact —)!l? Question Mark of 7 and the Mysterians also wore perpetual shades, but at one point he shattered the whole mystique by doing this gruesome sequential < unmasking of his black glasses for some innocuous teenzine, it was like watching a zombie re-enact the famous unveiling scene in "Phantom of the Opera." Both were on the show constantly, so the choice varied each week according to respective chemical ingestations. I kind of think Ted won out eventually, because he was into fringe and that played right into my rapidly developing sense of leather. After a journey into the punkvoid, Ted's returned and whipped it out on ah Ip called. Call of the Wild. But first: Ted's back performing these days and still up to his old stage tricks, like praying to his geetar, and he now spotlights a moment during the concert where he hits the treble barrier so hard that it shatters a glass. Alas, reports have been drifting in and it seems Ted is as obnoxious and conceited as he should be. Overblown Detroit ego is something we must contend with now that the revolution has become the evolution and we're headed for the nod hotcha. Call of the Wild to continue this bit of fragmentation, is the first rock 'n roll album about eroto-cannibalism. I ain't gonna even explain it, you'll have to find that out for yourself. It's also like Stockhausen meeting the gods of machine-wind. In utter wurds it's metal all the way. No glitter, just plain ole rock 'n roll slag. If in ya wanna get yo' ears expanded, pleeze buy this record, it'll scorch yo' torch. Get outta the syrup and listen to the fucker; it'll clean your pipes -Uranian Willy the Heavy MetalKid... On the Nod... — ... . .. the Amboy Dukes Call of the Wild (Discreet) Stealer's Wheel and "Stuck in the Middle," Todd Rundgren's latest incarnation and "Hello It's Me," and even the inimitable Loggins and Messina hit, "Your Mama Don't Dance." What usually happens to groups of this type is that the song becomes a big hit, but it is almost detrimental to the group's career because the radio plays it to death and everyone is left with the feeling that the song was, after all, obnoxious. This can lead one to the erroneous conclusion that all the band's music is also obnoxious, when actually, it is just the institution of top 40 radio that is TRULY obnoxious. So, trying to keep an open mind to this problem, read on. Style has absolutely nothing to do with a membership in this club, beyond the fact that each band does in fact have a very unique style. What most characterizes all of them is a very complete and thorough knowledge of the potentials of a recording studio. This brings with it a necessary sophisticaiton, because once you know how much you can really do, it becomes that much harder to keep it under control. Especially with the idea of "more is better" at such a musical premium these days. So, subtlety becomes the key. Knowing just how many tracks to put in without cluttering the song, knowing what levels to record the background tracks at (low enough not to distract, loud enough to be heard if listened for), knowing this and much more has become •more important and valued in the production of a record. This is one of the reasons I enjoy Steely Dan's albums Denny Dias, one of the lead guitarists and so much "Stereo Mixmaster General" insures that I'm going to get an excellent recorded disc. Of course, it's obvious that the best recording in the world can't help a group whose musical head isn't together. Again, the key (this time to their music) is subtlety. Besides the fact that all the members of Steely Dan are virtuosos on their chosen instruments, they see the dangers of flash for the sake of flash, and they manage to keep the individual parts low-key enough to produce a unified sound, rather than a bunch of sounds happening at the same time. This is especially true concerning their use of the synthesizer they are one of the few bands I know that doesn't abuse its versatility. What do they sound like, anyway? (Keep "Reelin in the Year" in mind, but somewhere in the back recesses.) Well, they draw from a number of sources. On Pretzef Logic, for example, there's one country-style ("With a Gun"), one old jazz ("East St. Louis Toodle-OO"), one samba ("Rikkie Don't Lose That Number"), one blues("Pretzel Logic") and so on. As is the case with any band that draws on a variety of traditional sources, they infuse these sources with their own style too, in this case characterized by the brash tone of lead vocalist Donald Eagen, the highly-stylized double leads and the playing off of the two different lead styles of Denny Dias and Skunk Baxter against each other to utmost advantage one raucous, one mellow. By the way, it is particularly noticeable on this album just how much Denny Dias was influenced by Jimi Hendrix (listen to "Any Major Dude"). One other thing thatjs also typical of this new breed and I guess my really competent musician is the awareness of the spectrum of musical colors and exactly how they will sound through a stereo speaker. The delicate balancing of a triangle against the staccato of a drum stick against a mellow bass tone against a rusty-sounding three-part harmony vocal, for instance, give the ears and mind the impression of an extremely full, rich, varied sound. A very sophistical band, all in all, leading to a very pleasurable listening experience. Here's a hint if you don't like it on the first listening, give it at least five more tries. Because of its complexity, it takes a while to get into it but once you do, I can assure you you won't get tired of it for a long time. -Willa Bassen — — Back in the heyday of psychedelia; when universal discordance became the password for order, when structure became the tool of expansion, when chaos was structure and assimilation of chaos was as necessary and functional as a daily dose of hallucinogenic hooch-juice: a time when music was the foundation for a certain kind of sublime completeness no longer the case a time when kids not only practiced with strange new sounds in their garage studios, but on weekends, when there was no high school ennui to contend with, went out into the world and became "stars" by making grand tours of the bar and club something else which has very little to do with circuit the music scene these days, much to many people's regret a truly unique collection of mad geetar maniacs drifted out from the acid-stained woodwork and played sheer an era of grand havoc with everyone's decibel reistance sonic inebriation and first and foremost of these bizzare axe-merchants were Ted Nugent and his battlin' Amboy Dukes.

The kid down the street got his tongue stuck on a stop sign last winter, but at least he knew what a stop sign was. Jade had no idea what the blue slab, actually a plant, was but she had a character of exploration necessary to exist in the wide open spaces of the galaxy. Searching for "Doubleluck" is the basis of the plot. Jade, as one of the three mutant jaks who represent those evolved enough to step outside of the accepted niche, finds the city and opens it up to everyone. Since no one has a search to live for anymore, the keepers of Doubleluck find it necessary to remove the walls of the galaxy and allow civilization to expand. Humans had thought up a great road plan with set goals, but they hadn't figured on mutation which was exactly what Carl Sagan was talking about. Doris Piserchia has put together a fine book, and she continues to contribute good pieces of literature to Galaxy, If and Orbit. She has the sense to make her works appealing, which is something most writers of science fiction fail to do, and her methods of characterization are wonderful. There are twists and turns in her world that seem real and fantastic at the same time and her words are always chosen with a precise attention to this fact, as well as their poetics.

April 25«h-8 PA. ! �Baseball Bulls open season at Lackaw home against Royals by Dave Geringer Sports Editor After seventeen successive road games, the baseball Bulls will open their home season this afternoon at Peelle Field with a single game against Scranton University. Ten of the Bulls road games were part of Buffalo’s southern trip, with the remaining seven on two weekend jaunts to the New York metropolitan area and yesterday’s visit to Niagara. This afternoon, Buffalo will be facing the Royals for the first time two years. The last meeting of the two squads two years ago resulted in a 4-3 Buffalo victory under the lights at Scranton’s Schautz Stadium, in which preceded by a day a double loss to Syracuse that erased the remnants of the Bulls’ playoff chances that season. Scranton’s pitching staff is paced by junior Kevin Benedict, a curveballing lefthander who was the losing pitcher in Buffalo’s victory two years ago. Don Kenia, another hurler, is 2-0, and is the team’s second leading hitter while playing the outfield part-time. Kenia’s 318 is second to designated hitter Joe Muraca’s team-leading .429 batting average, if The Royals also boast one of the smaller players seen in recent years. Centerfletder Jo Jo Cantafio, at 5-4 is smaller than any of the Fairfield Crouchers, who opened their season by losing two to the Bulls. Cantafio, who also captains the Royal basketball team, has been a fixture in centerfield for all four of his varsity seasons. The Bull ace, Jim Riedel, will probably match serves with Benedict this afternoon. Action iine Q: Which departments are scheduling their own commencement ceremonies?

He said that this would present great difficulties because of questions of “seniority and tenure.” Additionally, the closing of the two schools would increase the ratio of staff to pupils, Mr. Madar said. Nyquist’s order was Dr. precipitated by a lawsuit filed by parents of Lackawanna school children in 't971 (Cleo Mae Sylvers et. al. v.

The Dragons are deficient in team height, and may turn tomorrow’s twinbill into a crouching contest.

Jim Mix, who stands 5-8, hit 292 with Rich Dellork, a .423 hitter, rounding out the outfield. “Pitching is our question mark, our offense is a little more potent,” reported Cortland sports information director Norb Haley. “Our outfield carries the load.

In a fou. statement printed in Thursday’ Lackawanna Front Page, Stachowski maintained that Nyquist proposal would “disrui the entire elementary schr system in our city.” Opposition The Nyquist order has met with stiff opposition from the community as well as the school board.

Dolores Toncheff, a teachers’ aid, said that Dr. Nyquist “does know are and the whites stay where are.” A group of angry parents from one of the schools ordered to be closed issued a statement which appeared in the Front Page “Commisssioner Ewald Nyquist has done it again! He has set himself up as a dictator, ordering the parents of Lackawanna to bus our children from neighborhood schools. We feel his madate is interfering with our constitutional rights as citizens and taxpayers of the state of New York.” “In the 1940’s, Hitler took the children of Germany away from their parents and raised them ‘his way’, ‘for the good of the state.’ Is this what Commissioner Nyquist has in mind for the children of Lackawanna?” asked the Bethlehem parents.

A chilling match, the first of the year for both teams, opened the women’s final spring season due to the delayed upstate thaw, which has prompted its demise. It simply isn’t warm enough long enough, to organize 3 spring match schedule, in addition to the regular fall season.

Rubin SpectrumStaff Writer In cold and windy Brockport, Buffalo’s track team competed in and lost its first match of the season, dropping a 108-37 decision to the Golden Eagles. The Bulls were out of it early as Brockport scored 20 of the first 23 points via wins in the 440 relay, mile, and 120 yard high hurdles. Shining through the defeat once again was freshman Eldred Stephens, who single-handedly scored 13 of Buffalo’s points. Stephens, who broke two Bull records last Saturday at the Ashland Relays, picked up first place in the long jump (21 feet 11 inches) and the 100 yard dash (10.0), while adding a second place performance in the triple jump. Stephens and Ron Hardy from Brockport, the defending state champ, were the only double winners of the day, with Hardy’s wins coming in the triple jump and the 440 yard dash. Mike Corbett (discus) and Wally Halady (shot put) were the only other winners for the Bulls. Bulls hurt Buffalo was handicapped from the start against Brockport, because of team size. In the mije relay, the Eagles fielded two teams, while the Bulls’ Larry Stokar was forced to run in his fourth event within a 90-minute time span in order to complete Buffalo’s one foursome. Coach Jim McDonough commented, ‘They kill you with those firsts and seconds. We get a win but they take second and third and we only pick up a point on.’em.” Buffalo was blanked in five events and lost both relays, thereby yielding 55 points of the 145 total in the meet. The Bulls didn’t even enter anyone in the high jump competition. The absence of Larry Mentkowski was also very damaging to the Bulls’ total performance. Mentkowski looked terrific during the winter until he developed tendinitis in his foot. McDonough explained: “He would be our leading 440 or 880 entrant and would run the anchor leg in the mile relay. He’s really our leading runner in the middle distances.” Debbie Kruse, by Rise Zywotow and Robin Rae, .narrow the margin of victory, setting the final Tomorrow, the Bulls have a tough meet as they travel crosstown to score at 4-3.

WadiiMday, 17 April 1974 State Univarsity of New York at Buffalo No. 7B Groups demand more mone by Richard Korrnan Contributing Editor Too little money for too many people is the story again of the Student Association (SA) budgetary hearings for the 1974-75 fiscal year. The SA Finance Committee has been reviewing budgets in recent weeks with representatives of all SA-supported clubs, activities and special interest groups. “Everyone will be funded at the same level as last year, and all groups will have to operate at the same level as last year,’’ explained Finance Committee member Michael Phillips. Mr. Phillips explained that SA is budgeting a running deficit of $25,000 and that anticipated funds from student mandatory fees are difficult to predict due to fluctuations in enrollment. “Groups come in and ask for an four or five allotment inflated budget times what they need,” commented SA Treasurer Sal Napoli. Because of this, Mr. Napoli said, the Finance Committee has been asking each group to rank-order the items most important to them, and plans to fund them according to their own priorities. “Everybody walks out of there (the Finance Committee hearings],” he added, “like we killed their grandmother.” - Inflationary trend Both Mr. Napoli and Mr. Phillips pointed out that inflation has driven up costs about 10%. They also cite a budget deficit inherited from previous SA administrations as contributing to this ycarV difficulties. The deficit, they said, began three or four years ago and has been passed on to succeeding administrations. About 75% of last year’s deficit was paid by Treasurer Kenny linker, who, according to Mr. Napoli, used the entire SA reserve fund to eliminate it. ”We must be conservative because we don’t have a reserve,” Mr. Napoli maintained. He said that last year’s SA overbudgeted each club because there was still a reserve to fall back on, unlike this year. Health care Student mandatory fees are more or less fixed, Mr. Phillips indicated. Last year’s budget was made with the expectation that individual clubs would not spend their entire allotment. SA has about $15,000 in the bank now, but must still take in about $200,000 before August 31 to meet expenses. Exception for PIRG? Despite claims that* clubs will be funded at about the same level as last year, an exception is being made for the Western New York Public Interest Group (WNYPIRG). In last October’s referendum, students voted for a reordering of priorities to increase funds for WNYPIRG, and this was promised by SA President Frank Jackalone during the election campaign. WNYPIRG is seeking a $25,000 allotment*- which will enable them to join the state-wide parent group, NYP1RG as opposed to the $3,000 they were given last year. Spokesmen have indicated that WNYPIRG will probably be awarded most of the $25,000 they seek. The Black Student Union (BSU) has - reportedly requested a $98,000 allotment, more than double the $42,000 they received this year. The BSU has allegedly argued that white students, especially the entertainment offered by UUAB, do not provide activities for blacks. Community Action Corps (CAC) director Dave Chaviz claims that CAC got screwed by the Finance Committee. He asserted that SA is so structured that they cannot deal realistically with individual club budgets. There is no way, Mr. Caviz contended, that the Finance Committee can understand the needs of a large group like CAC. Lobbying pressure “What often happens is that certain interest groups don’t give a damn about the financial status of SA,” Mr. Napoli said. He believes that many Student Assembly members are “there just to fight for their interest group’s budgets.” The allotments proposed by the Finance Committee will be revealed when the Committee submits its budget to the s p| lobbying is expected Co take place on the Assembly floor immediately prior to budget votes. Mr. Napoli expressed fears that new Assembly members would submit petitions just so they could vote on the budgets of their interest group. The Assembly, however, “has no ability to understand" the intricacies of budget allotments,” Mr. Phillips said. Several club representatives have criticized the Finance Committee’s procedure. Each respective organization was given at least one hour to state its case before the Committee. Certain have met with the Finance groups '""Tine Finance Committee has put in over 100 hours,” Mr. Napoli declared. He stressed that the committee had worked ten hours a day every day this week. There were 70 separate groups to be heard from, Mr. Napoli explained. “What upsets me,” Mr. Napoli continued, “is when I can see alternative sources of income” for groups that are not being utilized. “For their (each club’s] own good, they should be looked into.” SA will allot $850,000. Budget requests at this time total over $3,000,000. termed ‘inadequate’ by Dene Dube Spectrum ipproval. subst^twl .i»Quat Staff Writer The wealthiest nation in the world is not getting its money’s worth of what it spends on health care. The lack of adequate health care is no longer a phenomena limited to the poor, and is how prevalent among the middle class. These were some of the contentions of James Haughton, Health and Hospital Commissioner in Cooke County, Illinois, addressing many medical students and faculty on the problems of health education and health care delivery Monday night in Capen Hall. Dr. Haughton echoed David Reiser’s complaints in Struggling to Stay Human in Medical Education regarding doctors’ lack of consideration for patients fostered by the emphasis on technology in the nation’s medical schools. “Traditional education focuses on the disease and not the patient,” Dr. Haughton maintained. “A fear of the patient, of caring and of involvement, uses technology as a response to diseases,” he said. Needy are ignored Indicating that 30 million citizens have no health insurance and cannot afford health care, Dr. Haughton believes that the way to aid this significantly large percentage of neglected persons is to alter the incentives and selection processes of medical schools. In Panama, he explained, two years df social service are required for a license to practice medicine, to compensate for an almost-free medical education. lied to loan He suggested that this cone-.'. programs in the United States, where a debt might be “forgiven" by service in poor and needy communities. To the dismay of his listeners, he added that a federal proposal is under way to discontinue all scholarships to manpower programs for such communities, changing ! them instead to loans. Challenging the selection process to medical schools because it restricts the training of doctors to middle-class white males, he noted that there are only 8% women and 2% minority group doctors in the country. He suggested an analysis of the country’s needs “to produce careers consonant with these needs,” although this would “challenge the foundation of democracy where luxury distorts the use" of precious resources.” The American citizen is taught to have his own private physician, Dr. Haughton added. Skeptical on insurance Asked how he felt about pre-paid policies such as Health Medical Organizations (HMOs), which offer pre-paid health services to patients and pre-paid fees to doctors, Dr. Haughton responded he was “not sanguine to establishing HMOs in the next few years because of the financial obstacles.” The main differences between HMOs and group practice, he explained, is that the law defines the minimum coverage for HMOs, while in group practice the package is self-defined. In Genesee Valley in New York State, he indicated, where pre-paid health insurance is well known, development of HMOs was unsuccessful because these people were accustomed to better packages. “HMOs made them pay more money for a comprehensive program, something the blues were giving them for less,” he said, referring to Blue Shield and Blue Cross. “Marketing is not a problem with the blues; with HMOs, they are trying to sell to the individual.” More paraprofesskmals needed Dr, Haughton does not favor national health insurance, but prefers a rational system for health financing: “There is no reality for HMO in poor communities, unless there is national coverage for everyone.” 1 James Haughton “The solution lies with med students and educators, who should be committed to the preservation of maintenance of the nation’s health. Resist influences that do not let you respond to the community, strip you of your humanity, and redefine your excellence,” he said to the future health professionals in the audience. He complained that many times students do n;>t !<.' “what is out there” and have a problem of “career choices,” due to a lack of “role models in the community they wish to serve.” Paramedical and social workers and nurses can take on many responsibilities so doctors can become more sufficiently involved with their patients, he said, regretting that no requests were made for new specialties this year by the Medical Board of Specialties. Continued proliferation of specialization in medicine would foster incentive and redistribution of health services, Dr. Haughton concluded. ii 1 i .iii i ./ ' , • �•" * ■ by Amy Dunkin Campu, Editor organization ” The Assembly will be reorganized “by incremental reforms,” Mr. Salimando noted, and many of the proposed changes will not be effected until next year. Changing the status of the SA Executive Committee will be one of Mr. Salimando’s primary concerns. “The Executive Committee has been traditionally viewed as obstructionist, elitist and apart from the Assembly. We want to make it more responsible and communicable to the Assembly with less of an overriding influence,” he said. Regarding the Executive Committee as an informational body that reports current proejets and programs at every meeting, Mr. Salimando hopes to break down the distrust the Assembly has displayed toward it. He does not fee! the solution lies in removing the voting power of the Executive Committee members: “By taking away their vote, we are taking away expertise the Assembly can use.” Plans to reduce the power of the Executive Committee include changing the make-up of the two most important committees, Finance and Personnel and Appointments, to six voting Assembly representatives and two hon-voting Executive Committee members. In the past, these committees have been stacked with voting Executive Committee people. steps, not sweeping - Reactive body Assessing the present situation, Assemblyperson Mark Carlin said the Assembly is “designed as a reactive body,” since most of the legislation “comes from the impetus of the Executive Committee.” He feels this must be reversed so the “Assembly makes the proposals and the Executive Committee acts on them." “The only way the Assembly can be an effective body is if people attend,” Mr. Salimando emphasized. He hopes to stimulate student interest by “developing a knowledgeable Assembly before each meeting; one that knows what is on the agenda and can ask intelligent questions.” He added: “I want to create an opiniated student body that takes stands on issues and relates them to the SA,” ,A , By reforming the Assembly committee system, Mr. ._ the computer system makes it much easier to report missing and stolen bicycles. One result will be a constant, up-to-date county-wide release of a list of stolen bicycles. These lists will be available to Campus Security, the Buffalo Police Department and other law enforcement agencies throughout the country. The probability of recovering a stolen bicycle will thus increase tremendously, explained Campus Security officers Kathleen Conniff and Corky Brunskull. Having registered his vehicle, a bicycle owner will be able to park in a designated area behind Lockwood Library, directly opposite the Undergraduate Library in Diefendorf Annex. This area was established through the efforts of former Student Association (SA) Student Rights Coordinator Cliff Pale Cliff Palefsky, and is funded by student fees.

All the preceding proposals will probably not affect the present Assembly. However, if passed this week, a proposal to simplify the amending process would immediately facilitate the Assembly’s ability to act on legislation. Whereas in the past, an absolute 3/5 majority of the total Assembly membership was needed to pass an amendment, the proposal calls for only % of the members present to amend the constitution. This would prevent the Assembly from being "tied down by procedural garbage," Mr. Salimando said. He added that the Assembly would institute a system of statutes in the near future where a simple 34 majority of Forces mobilized the members present would be required to pass all Mr. Salimando pointed out that Academic Affairs legislation except constitutional amendments.

HORSES FOR RIDERS FROM BEGINNERS TO ADVANCED. ARL the Jewish Student Magazine �Women studying law increasing in numbers by Mitch Regenbogen Spectrum Staff Writer The study of law, with few exceptions, has traditionally been confined to the legal education of men. However, in recent years, the nation’s law schools have opened their doors to increasing numbers of aspiring female lawyers. Judith Younger, newly-appointed dean of Syracuse University School of Law, will speak on “Women and the Legal Profession” in Capen 140 on Saturday, April 20 at 10:45 a.m. Ms. Younger is the third woman to be appointed dean of an American law school and the first in New York State. During her discussion, she will try to acquaint women with the general trends pertaining to law school, as well as provide information about successful women in the legal profession. The program is sponsored by the University Office of Student Affairs. In addition to Dean Younger, professors Janet Hairing, Marjorie Girth, and Patricia Hollander and two women students from the State University at Buffalo Law School will relate their personal experiences. Search for applicants The nation’s law schools have searched for qualified women applicants, partially through the efforts of women’s groups seeking to provide professional equality for women, and through the realization that women can make valuable contributions to the study and practice of law. This new emphasis has inspired greater numbers of law school applications from female undergraduates across the country. Pre-law advisor Jerome Fink said the number of women applicants has nearly doubled in the last few years. As evidence of this ttend, 28% of all the law school applicants who have consulted Dr. Fink this year have bee women, a substantial increase over previous years. Soihe male students fear it has become easier for women to be admitted to law school than it is foir men with identical credentials. While some evidence may support this, Dr. Fink has found that those women with whom he has been in contact have generally been more qualified than the men. (Dr. Fink’s sample is not random, however, since maintaining contact with his office is voluntary.) The women applicants’ average Law Scholastic Aptitude Test (LSAT) scores were higher, although the highest scores were achieved by men. In. addition, 67-75% of these women were Phi Beta Kappa students. Women applicants from this University are “exceptionally well qualified,” according to Dr. Fink. Two-part series Dean Younger’s address is the first of a two-part program directed at those who are interested in attending law school. On May 4, in 140 Capen at 1 p.m., Peter A. Winograd, a representative of the Educational Testing Service, will explain the national trends in law school admissions and the significance of the LSAT and Law School Data Admission Service (LSDAS) in the admissions process. Also jfarticipatihg'wifl fie'ProVbst Richard Schwartz, and Associate Provost William Greiner, of the State University at Buffalo Law School. While the program on April 20 is directed towards women, the May 4 program will alert all candidates to some of the major considerations in planning a law career. “I try to personalize the application process,” said Dr. Fink, who feels , the service he provides is probably the only one-to-one relationship most students will ever find in the University administration. While he docs not generally lend much credence to large lecture presentations. Dr. Fink feels that individuals such as dean Younger and Mr. Winograd can provide useful information. nta\ Silencing the student press If there is something illegal about the objectionat material, let those offended take their complaint to the courts. There are statutes defining obscenity, and guidelines for the pursuit of libel litigation; any material which is truly out of order can be dealt with under these laws. An unwillingness to attack the matter properly should be interpreted as an admission that the bill’s supporters do not have a valid case and could not possibly win their case in the courts. The bill presently before the Senate would effectively shut down every publication in the SUNY and CUNY systems, except possibly The Spectrum, which is an independently-operated corporation by Michael O’Neill National Editor The Senate of the State of New York is rapidly moving towards a position that would at once silence the student press of the State Universities and pay token tribute to the nebulous doctrines of media morality and proper expenditure of public funds. If they pass a censorship bill reported out of committee only last week at the urging of conservative Republican John Marchi, they will do irreparable damage to student publications at every SUNY campus. Having done this, they will applaud their noble effort to put an end to the current stream of obscenity and license on campus, which they see as a prevalent characteristic in the college generating its own revenue through advertising and the sale of subscriptions to the student body. Even with its built-in advantages, there is some question as to whether The Spectrum could survive in its present form indefinitely. Shutting down all the campus newspapers because of the indiscretion of a few is an incompetent and unfair reaction, and it’i being perpetrated by a group of small-time politicians whose own records could use a careful examination more often than anyone cares to admit. College newspapers have not been as hesitant to attack local legislators as some of the more established presses. Any attempt to openly put these journals out of business is a blatant abrogation of free speech, and should not be hidden behind the press. It has happened too fast. In less than a month, a small group of legislators has managed to capitalize on public outcries about the printing of questionable material in several college newspapers and play up the indignation of their constituents in order to force-feed this bill to the Legislature. The implications of such an action are far-reaching. If passed, the bill will deny funding to college newspapers, set a precedent for ceilsorship not by the University, but by the legislature and confirm once and for all the right of elected officials to decide in what manner student fees may be spent. The State Senate’s attempt, cleverly hidden under the aegis of enforced morality in public spending, is on shakey legal footing. The State University Board of Trustees are the sole - - shield of public indignation. It’s called censorship, and it’s supposed to be illegal. If the legislature is allowed to get away with this an obvious and undisguised venture into determining the guidelines for spending student fees there will be nothing left to stop them. Controversial expenditures for legal-aid clinics and birth-control centers will fall prey to the whims of a — determinants of spending guidelines for mandatory student fees. The Senate is overstepping its authority. “We’re the ones in the heat,” commented one senator in defense. Complaining about the indignation expressed by his constituents, he quoted the responsibilities of his office and indicated that he had no choice but to abide by public sentiment. — distant and often unconcerned legislators. The student fee will become an extended tax, will have little say as to how it is spent. The State Legislature has come to regard these fees as public funds, and will probably Justify its attempt to influence their disbursement as a righteous effort to ensure that thfc public’s money is not improperly and students Why these knowledgeable representatives do not the refer to complaints to the proper channels remains a mystery. State University Trustees Should it be within their power to take matters into their own hands and over-react to a situation they do not fully understand? They are not SUNY specialists; their knowledge stems only from issues of immediate concern to them. Silencing the campus press might serve the interest of some of their constitutents, but that hardly makes it legal. Censoring the national press would also serve the interest of a good many voters and politicians alike; yet few dare to go that far. Just exactly where the “numerous” complaints about the content in the campus publications come from remains unknown. Why are these complaints not directed at the editors of the allegedly offensive papers? If there is something wrong with their content, then the editors could and should be brought to answer. If something illegal is published, then it should be dealt with through the courts. Blanket denial of student fees to campus publications only avoids the issue. It bypasses the questionable material and goes directly to the concept of the paper itself. The problem is dealt with by silencing all responsible voices and closing down the invaluable newspapers along with the marginal. That doesn’t say much for Mr. Marchi or his supporters. — — spent. The student fee is not public money. It is collected from students, only after a periodic referendum decides whether or not they should be collected. The fee is to be spent on student functions and for the benefit of the University community as a whole. Who is better qualified, and who is more directly involved with the use of these fees than the students themselves? If enough of them objected to the manner in which they were being spent, they have at their disposal, through student government, the means- by which to deny allotment to newspapers and other publications. If the widespread dissatisfaction with the content of these papers was as real as the legislators claim, students would certainly have taken measures long ago to deal with the problem more directly. Passage of the bill restricting the allocation of funds to the newspapers will be more than press censorship; it will be an infringement on the right of the students to determine how and where their money is spent. The mandatory student fee will be turned into nothing more than a state tax which the legislature will feel free to spend in whatever manner it sees fit. Wednesday, 17 April 1974 The . Spectrum .

STATE & AUDREY & DELL S part. _ ' �h % - % k ; ■ Editorial . The annual Student Association budget fiasco is approaching. Budget time brings out the worst in people, producing the ugly spectacle of groups fighting tooth-and-nail for extra dollars with SA pleading that there is only so much money to go around. As would be expected when $850,000 is being allocated, the politicking has already begun during the SA Finance Committee's hearings on the budgets of all student-funded groups. Because inflation has driven costs up 10% or more, and because, after paying its deficit, SA now has no cash reserve to fall back on, Treasurer Sal Napoli has informed all groups that they will have to operate at virtually the same level as last year. Exceptions must be made, of course. WNYPIRG must receive the promised $25,000 to join its state-wide parent group NYPIRG because students voted that the consumer group was a priority in last fall's referendum; and Intramural sports and the athletic bubble for the activity-poor Amherst Campus will require increased funding. But groups are stilt coming to SA with inflated budgets; predictably, every group is Concerned with its own budget and is not interested in the financial solvency of SA, which they see as a bottomless treasury. '' The ugliest part Of the money-grabbing drama is the efforts by ranging from arm-twisting lobbying to outright interest groups pressure tactics to insure a large budget for their group. The Student Assembly has also been flooded with membership petitions from interest group members who care nothing about the Assembly but merely want to stack it with 'yes' votes to push through a large budget for their group. Hopefully, these money-minded lobbyists will not be eligible to vote on the budgets; equally important is that the Assembly must resist pressures and even threats by any group for ,v ' larger fuhding than SA can afford. This will be difficult, since the weak Assembly itself is made up of representatives of interest groups, but we hope the Assembly as wyll seriously consider SA's well as groups seeking moreynoney overall financial- situation as well as their own partisan interests. Given X amount of money, the Assembly must act responsibly in athletics, clubs, Sub-Board' setting overall ceilings in each area reflecting what students can afford to fund. SA is rightly activities allowing each group to determine its own spending priorities. But unless the overall picture is' considered by all groups, the budget hearings wifi degenerate into the usual back-biting struggle, with the groups that 'can exert the most pressure receiving the most money and the rest getting shafted with fee-paying students the ultimate loser. - — — — — — — . . . and Assembly reforms Student government, the campus cynics say, is destined to be pointing especially to the Student Assembly, ineffective optimistically created as a legislative body but now universally considered a disaster. Elected on a platform of involving more students in SA, President Frank Jackalone has far-reaching plans to reform the Assembly from a farcical coalition of interest groups to a strong legislature truly representative of students. The SA Executive Committee has always been too powerful, partially by default because the Assembly was so weak. The ideal situation, somewhat like in the Faculty-Senate, is where the Assembly is a knowledgable body of expert committees introducing well-researched legislation, while the Executive Committee acts as an informational source and provides leadership. Executive vice-president Scott Salimando hopes to reform the Assembly committee system to involve students in committees by area of interest, to yield committees that suggest thoughtful legislation and proposals. Giving all the votes to Assemblymen on the vital, but once Executive-stacked, Finance and Personnel and Appointments committees will enable the Assembly to act as a check on executive appointments and budget-making. But the key to making the Assembly work Is to make it representative of the student body. The Faculty-Senate achieved greater representation in 1970 by changing from a town meeting format to a system of elected Senators. For the Assembly, the key is eliminating the glorified lobbyists who represent only the concerns of their special interest group and replacing them with representatives of all segments of the student body commuters dorm students, groups, and especially academic departments, which Academic Affairs coordinator Mark Humm is now trying to persuade to send representatives to the Assembly. Since all students take courses, an academic Assembly (again like the Fac-Sen) would represent everyone; certainly more than a system where a lobbyist can circulate a petition around his class and get 40 signatures to become an Assemblyman, representing no one but himself or his interest group. But no plans or proposals can have much effect if students do not stop complaining about student government and instead become actively involved in transforming the Student Assembly into a viable — IKALITI I TMOUGHT WE Distorted ideas To the Editor. I read Barry Kaplan's article (Through the Looking Glass 4/12/74) two times to make sure I didn’t misunderstand it before I wrote this letter. First, I couldn’t agree more with Mr. Kaplan in that each person is alone responsible for his actions; that it is not right for people to act with disregard towards others during the year, thinking they merely have to ask forgiveness to be absolved. However, I get the impression that he thinks most Christians practice this belief arid that they view Christ as “a panacea which eases everyone’s responsibility.” How shallow and ignorant! To state that we pray to “our Saviour” on Easter for this reason is a stupid concept. While there may be Christians who feel this way, 1 personally don’t, my family and realtivcs don’t, and neither does the Greek Orthodox Church. Easter and Christianity mean many different tilings. I was taught Christ sumbolized love for my fellow man and with that love came responsibility for his welfare. The last time Christians murdered, raped, pilliaged and committed unnatural acts because they believed they had “a direct line of credit from that Jewish jerk” was during the Crusades. I think Mr. Kaplan’s distorted ideas of Christain worship need a little updating'. I’m glad the article didn’t reflect the views of The Spectrum, but in the future I would hope you would print articles written by columnists, who base their opinions on facts, not pedants.

Page five �■ ■ VEm April 20 i.ruand fW -V'* byJeffrey appear then If you are a student at this University, chances are that you have filled out a dozen or to computer forms in the past few months. One of those forms could very well have been an evaluation of your professor. It is also very likely that you don’t remember filling out a form like that. If you do remember, the betting line would be heavily against your having taken the form seriously. The Faculty-Senate is presently studying a report by its subcommittee on Teaching Effectiveness. The report deals with an “experimental” program begun two years ago called the Analysis of Courses and Teachers (ACT), a student evaluation program which includes preparing the questions, disseminating and collecting the questionnaires, and releasing the results ACT is also the program that almost everyone has termed a “disaster.” How can it be termed anything but disaster if the students fail to see the importance of a program that attempts to evaluate their teachers? The ACT program’s goals are two-fold; 1) the results should help faculty improve their teaching abilities, and 2) the results should aid students in choosing teachers and courses more careftilly. But the program cannot run if students don’t take the evaluations seriously. No one can benefit if the assessments are not carefully thought out. The idea is to create an issue... to get the students to feel that the evaluations can be worthwhile. But if students do not see the results of their evaluations in a comprehensible form, how can the program be termed “worthwhile?” First get the student interested by letting him see real results. When evaluations are taken seriously, they can then become valuable items to help improve teaching effectiveness. With ACT in its present form, it will be impossible to get students interested. Priorities must be rearranged to put the student’s needs first. It is self-defeating to think that teaching effectiveness can be improved without proper student input. In order to get proper input we need meaningful output namely, a SCATE (Student Course and Teaching * —- — Evaluation). t When a large majority of students who have taken a particular course claim to be cosmically enlightened, fully entertained, and anxious to follow * necessary, somewhat How about the teacher who isn’t getting through to his audience, who's hung up on punishment with the slap of the ruler, and who never looks up from his notes? Why should another student consider taking a course from that teacher? Why can’t students begin to seriously evaluate their professors to pass the word on to fellow students? SCATE’s can be found in many colleges and universities. Casa Western Reserve University has a very good one; the State University of Binghamton has developed a useful SCATB; best of all is Harvard’s “Confy Guide,” which sells for $1. Most of students buy one f or the humor, if not for u9e fu| comments. Someone has suggested succinct comments for a UB SCATE such as, 'This course really sucks, man. Don’t take it under any circumstances.” But the idea is to probe a bit deeper than that: “Lectures were often informative. However, there could have been room for a little more classroom discussion. How about taking 10 or 15 minutes at the end of each period for comments on the lecture?” That kind of comment would help both student and professor. Overly critical comments directed solely at teachers are not helpful. Laudatory comments are equally worthless to both students and faculty. If we can agree that the key to a successful evaluation program is a SCATE to spark student interest, then we have to assign responsibility for its creation. Should the Student Association take full responsibility? Mark Humm, Academic Affairs Coordinator, has begged the Faculty-Senate not to saddle SA with such a burden. But George Hochfield, Faculty-Senate Chairman-elect, insists that by its nature, evaluating instructors must be the responsibility of the students. Why not a combined effort? Physics professor Jonathan Reichert has suggested a somewhat viable alternative for getting faculty and students involved on a smaller departmental scale. This, at least, is a step in the right direction. But what the Faculty-Senate must cultivate, if improved teaching effectiveness on this campus is to be achieved, is student interest because without it, there can be no sensible or pragmatic evaluations from which to work. land night of performance J JUST BACK FROM INTRODUCING THE i | 111fit GQ § ,l! s <2 7 ? | HAIRCUT!! t | "DIFFERENT STROKES FOR DIFFERENT FOLKS" I Tmmmmmmmmmmmm CLIP AND SAVE as M mi ■■ M wm M ■■ m ■!

Dr. Carver appeared as one of the speakers at a 'wo-day conference entitled ‘The Justification of Viol nee,” held in John Lord O’Brian Hall on Thursday and 1 riday. Dr. Carver said he was not concerned whether the audience would accept the practice of justifying violence, but insisted that “the concept stands in need of justification.” He called the act of violence “delict,” whereby someone is well-advised to prepare a defense. In the law, he said, there arc a variety of different defenses, but he described two specifically: justification . and explication. . , " of the related phenomena. Dr. Sharp then offered his definition of violence: ‘The act of inflicting physical injury or death on persons by whatever means or threats, including the restriction movement or freedom of movement by such acts threats.” Sanction, he said, occurs when people behave in a/suitable manner prescribed by thegovemmeni Sanction, he added, is the key element of political “Violence is in most cases the ultimate sanctii western political societies,” Dr. Sharp emphasized, does seem impossible to conceive a society where th«;r no sanctions,” he said. Dr. Sharp criticized the efforts of those win currently seeking an alternative to political violence said their attempts lacked sufficient impact, adding moral appeals to repudiate violence are left “impotence.” Those who propose to abolish the currem system have offered no realistic substitute to replace status quo, he said. Most people presume that violence the only way to carry out a revolution, although Dr. suggested non-violence as a substitute. Non-violence has worked before, Dr. Sharp assci citing the twelve-year struggle of American colonists before the advent of the Revolutionary War. “What we need now,” said Dr. Sharp, “is a fast series of research projects that would cost hundreds of millions of dollars to research and investigate the nature of this phenomenon.” ' Getting off the hook In explication, there is a defect in the action and its agent. One example would be someone who becomes “hot under the collar” and breaks a vase. If he attempts to explain his reasons for the action, he has offered an —Santos explicating defense. Ip the base of justification, the defect of damage is acknowledged and there is either “rightness” or “all rightness.” “A pattern of justifying defense,” said of the traditional elite. It is the privilege of a special select Dr. Carver, “gets the person off the hook. He is not to make or amends.” required any payments group that society fears and respects. In a way, the State of has achieved a monopoly on violence.

In this instance, Dr. MacCallum saw conscience as a prime example: “Violence is portrayed as right if a good Friedcnberg emphasized.

The Student Association of State University (SASU) has urged all concerned individuals Uf send telegrams (by calling 1-800-2S7-2221 toll-free), letters and make phone calls to their State Senator, Senate Majority leader Warren M. Anderson, and Assembly Speaker Perry B. Duryea, urging them to vote against the bill. Senator Jess Present of Jamestown, N.Y. could not make a definite commitment regarding the legislation since he had not seen it. But he did say that on the basis of what he had heard he “would probably be opposed” to the legislation. State Assemblyman Chester Hardt of Buffalo said he is “opposed to the principles behind the bill.” He by Marc Jacobson City Editor Reactions to the bill which the State Senate will consider tomorrow which would bah the use of mandatory student fees for student newspapers at every State University and City University campus in the state have ranged from total outrage to complacency. Sponsored by State Senator John Marchi (R., Westchester), the bill, which was approved by the State Senate’s Higher Education Committee on Thursday, has considerable conservative support in both the State Senate and Assembly. Approval of both houses is necessary for_ the bill to become law. State Assemblyman John LaFalce (D., Kenmore) said he was emphatically opposed Jo legislation prohibiting the use of mandatory fees for student newspapers. “1 think it is a terrible indictment of the individual proposing it... (and his] concept of representative democracy... it seems he believes in'freedom of the press within the limits of his own perceptions,” said Mr. LaFalce. — - Faculty reaction negative Faculty reaction at — - — Obscenity criticized State Senator Thomas McGowan of Buffalo would not formally take a position on the issue, although he said: “No one wants to do away with college newspapers.” He labelled the City College of New York student newspaper, which recently printed an allegedly pornographic cartoon of a nun masturbating with a crucifix that outraged Senator James Buckley and others, as “not responsible.” “1 don’t like to see obvious obscenities [that was] the most disgusting thing” he had seen, he added. Senator McGowan, a Republican, said he has worked on a college newspaper; and when queried about the possibility of the bill passing, he said: “I wouldn’t worry about it.” Mr. McGowan added that “part of growing up is to leam responsibility.” In a statement prepared for the Administration at the State University of Buffalo, Richard Siggelkow, Vice-President for Student Affairs, declared: “I am opposed to the pending legislation prohibiting the use of mandatory student fees, which are not public tax monies, to support student publications media. Such a bill obviously works to the disadvantage of the student press. Also involved is the serious implication of suppression of freedom of the press,” Dr. Siggelkow concluded. If the bill became law, most student newspapers at said he couldn’t make a definite commitment until he had seen the abuses in college newspapers which Senator Marchi mentioned.

U.S. Senator James Buckley, (R-C, N.Y.), a leader of the movement that arose as a reaction to the CCNY newspaper’s publishing an allegedly pornographic cartoon, was unavailable for comment. His office was apparently closed for Good Friday. However, Buffalo area Congressman Jack Kemp said: “Given the choice between censorship and free press, I would naturally choose a free press.” State should not censor Mr. Kemp said he had no jurisdiction over the issue, since he was in Washington; however, he did say that “the Albany preparing position State Senator Griffin has introduced legislation for three consecutive years prohibiting the collection of mandatory student activity fees. “Students have the right to tell where their fees go,” Senator Griffin feels. When Mr. Griffin learned that the legislation did not allow students to determine where their fees will go, he then said that the state should not dictate how activity fees should be spent. ‘The State University is in the process of formulating an official position,” said Clifton Thorne, Vice-Chancellor of SUNY. “I can say that few issues before the Legislature havQ attracted more serious attention,” Dr. Thome said. “We are therefore giving extraordinary care to the preparation of our position,” adding that SUNY Chancellor Ernest Boyer would study the matter personally when he returns to Albany from Moscow today.

Dr. Yearly believes that major campus publications perform a valuable service. ‘1 think it’s a mistake,” commented Physics professor Jonathan Reichert. ‘There are all kinds of abuses this is not the way to deal with it. I think everywhere student newspapers are essential,” Dr. Reichert added. Robert Berdahl, Chairman of the Higher Education Department at the State University of Buffalo, said: ‘The Senate bill is a classic case of overkill. There does arise from time to time provocations of allegedly pornographic or partisan nature. The effort to do away with the press is like emptying the baby with the bath water,” he concluded. Dr. Berdahl said the cartoon in the CCNY newspaper was in poor taste, and suggested firing the editor. “Student newspapers serve far too many important functions. Campus newspapers’ existence are threatened by people who are over-reacting to a given provocation.” ~ summer this University was negative. Conservative support The bill states: “Use of student activity fees for support of student newspapers at public colleges and other public institutions of higher learning [is] prohibited.” The bill appears on the Senate calendar for tomorrow, the next legislative day after it was reported out of committee. It will be subject to debate at that time, and head-counters have predicted that due to strong conservative support largely stemming from outrage at certain allegedly obscene Senate material printed in studeht newspapers recently approval seems likely. The bill would then go to the State Assembly, where chances of passage are uncertain. In a similar situation two years ago, when the Senate had approved a bill abolishing student fees, SUNY Chancellor Ernest Boyer lobbied on behalf of students with Assembly Speaker Perry Duryea and succeeded in bottling the bill up in committee.

Asked if student newspapers should be funded by mandatory student fees, William Hasset, a Buffalo member of the SUNY Board of Trustees, said: ‘The present system is satisfactory.” He Continued: “Assuming continued good diligence of the part of students who edit and print their papers,” the funding of student newspapers “should be continued.” “There have been singular instances wherein readers of student newspapers have been offended by their content,” Mr. Hassett said. “In most cases, responsible student journalists have taken steps to reverse any offensive material.” Mr. Hassett added that he favored using student fees for student newspapers, “provided that when abuses of public taste occur, they are either corrected or don’t occur in the first place.

Page three ■ �s termination Gelbaum to reconsider today by Guy Cohn Campus Editor the 1970 student demonstrations. Since that time, he has remained active by fighting against tuition raises and organizing faculty members. Academic Affairs vice-president Bernard Gelbaum is expected today to reconsider his decision to terminate Philosophy professor JamesLawler’s contract. Dr. Lawler was optimistic because Dr. Gelbaum told him Friday that additional evidence regarding his controversial case has been presented to Dr. Gelbaum since the decision not to grant Dr. Lawler a two-year extension was announced last week. Additionally, Dr. Gelbaum told Dr. Lawler that he did not know that Dr. Lawler’s vitality to the department was involved. Dr. Lawler is a Marxist philosopher, and the Philosophy Department recently conducted a widespread search for a Marxist and found all the applicants to be unqualified. Dr. Lawler's appeal will be presented by professor Paul Diesing, under the new University guidelines which allow a faculty member denied tenure to have an advocate argue his case. Reasons for denial The reasons for his being denied reappointment were explained to Dr. Lawler Friday. Dr. Gelbaum reportedly received one or two letters which did not support Dr, Lawler along with a large number of supporting letters, according to Dr. Lawler. Furthermore, an influential person wrote of Dr. Lawler; “The possibility of tenure is not nearly as high as I would like.” Dr. Gelbaum would not disclose who the influential person was, Dr. Lawler explained. Dr. Gelbaum would not comment on his reasons for terminating Dr. Lawler because he considers it inappropriate to discuss personnel matters in the public press. He explained this procedure was followed to protect a faculty or staff member being denied tenure or arrested as a member of the Faculty 45 — — political activities and because Dr. Gelbaum decided to terminate Dr. Lawler’s contract despite the official endorsements of the Philosophy Department and Faculty of Social Sciences. Philosophy Department faculty, department chairman Peter Hare, the personnel committee of the Faculty of Social Sciences, and the acting Provost of the Social Sciences were among those in favor of Dr. Lawler’s — Dr. Gelbaum again emphasized that Dr. Lawler’s political involvement did not enter into his decision. Dr. was Dr. Gelbaum maintained*that he was unaware that Dr. Lawler was one of the so-called 45 when he made the decision. He added that although he had consulted with his assistant, William Baumer, about the Lawler case, Dr. who filed a deposition against the Faculty 45 Baumer did not mention any political considerations. However, Dr. Lawler believes that Dr. Baumer may have been prejudiced against him because; (1) he was told that Dr. Baumer had. told students that be [Dr. Lawler] was “the most undesireable person in the [philosophy] department;" (2) pr. Baumer testified against the Faculty 45 and may continue to believe that Dr. Lawler “engaged in criminal activities;” (3) Dr. Baumer was not recommended for promotion by the Philosophy Department and may harbor a grudge against the Department even though the Administration overruled the Philosophy Department recommendation and did promote Dr. Baumer. Baumer responds In response, Dr. Baumer maintained that he never said that Dr. Lawler was undesirable; that he did not recall that Dr. Lawler was a member of the Faculty 45 until he fead it in The Spectrum after the decision had been made; and that he had no grudge against the Philosophy Department. Dr. Gelbaum asked for my opinion on this matter (Dr. Lawler’s reappointment), Dr. Baumer explained, adding that he provided an opinion with regard to Dr. Lawler’s “scholarly qualities teaching and research.” He reiterated that a faculty member’s political affiliations was the business of the individual faculty member and not a factor to be considered in academic reappointment decisions. reappointment. Lawler No political factors Overruling official endorsements The Lawler case has provoked a great deal of controversy in the University because of Dr. Lawler’s during reappointment. A number of Dr. Lawler’s colleagues in the Philosophy Department are now working oh a petition to be presented to Dr. Gelbaum.. Additionally, a student/faculty committee is working to assure Dr. Lawler’s renewal. Dr. Gelbaum expects to resolve the Lawler case within the next week.

Shortly, a hearing will be set with representatives of the union, the University and the state labor board to review the organizing forms. A committee of campus workers from every department in food service, is still collecting signatures. The union organizer said that they want to get more than the required number of signatures to safeguard against possible attempts by the company to disqualify some members. He added that they expected the election to be held by the first week in May to determine whether the majority of food service workers desire union representation. Job threats As the emphasis begins to shift from signature to preparing for the election, the organizer said that much work will have to be done to further explain the benefits of having a union. According to the organizer, one worker who had signed was told by a supervisor, that when the union was established, that person’s job was going to be terminated because of cutbacks. Fortunately, the worker recognized that this was art attempt to frighten him away from the union, and was not intimidated. The organizer charged that another worker had organizing forms taken away by a supervisor. The union informed the company that this was illegal, and that if it happened again, they would file charges with the National Labor Relations Board. A worker has a right to engage in union activity, as long as it doesn’t occur during work time when it would interfere with the person’s job, the organizer added. Union members earn more ' There are about 270 Food Service workers at this University and a large portion are part-time employees. The union spokesman said that the part-time workers would be included in the union, and that they would receive benefits under a union contract, just as full-time workers would. He pointed out that food service workers at Buffalo State College are working under a union contract, and are averaging $.50 to $1 more per hour job classification than Food Service workers at the State University of Buffalo. The organizer added that there is interest among some students and groups to build an organization to support the Food Service porkers if they so desire it. For further information, the union can be reached at 882-4012-. All calls will be kept confidential. • 853-1515 • where they can.

Miller Staff Writer Spectrum “I have nothing against you personally, but I hate you because the system made me hate white people, and you’re white,” declared Bassette at the Hugh organizational meeting of the Committee Against Racism last Wednesday. The Committee Against Racism is a nationwide, multi-racial organization of faculty and students that has declared war against the recent upsurge of racism on campuses, or “academic racism.” Charles Reitz, a member of the Progressive Labor Party (PLP), defined racism as “the specific oppression of aminority, a specific oppression that depresses the entire standard of living for whites and the middle class.” Mr. Reitz: cited tuition hikes, budget cuts, and tenure quotas as “severe materials of oppression,” and said he wants to involve whites as well as black in the committee. Exploring racism at this University, Mr. Bassette criticized the Equal Opportunity Program (EOP), and the Black Studies department for v practicing racism. “The EOP program is mismanaged,” he charged, referring to long delays in the payment of EOP checks and the fact that no permanent director has been appointed for the program. Do-it-yourself The Black Studies department also has no permanent director, although a search has been going on for two years. Angered that there were two whites teaching in the Black Studies he program, maintained: “To really understand an experience, you have to go through it ypurself.” Mr. Bassette also spoke against th6 racist harassment of black and radical students: 'The purpose of Campus Security is to keep blacks and radical whites in line now these fools are to supposed get guns, and I think they will,” he said “We can only rely on ourselves to fight — Foundations of Education. Racism, he explained, “is part of a more general class structure in American problem society. The white student is getting screwed around just as much as the black student. The tactic used is separate and divide,” he asserted. Dr. Woock believes it is in our self-interest to fight racism since it hurts and everyone, economically, socially. “Racism is one of Ketter’s weapons to divide us," he maintained - . United front To fight racism, Dr Woock suggested that the Committee Against Racism publicly oppose The Spectrum, Ethos , and the EOF program. He would like to see faculty, students, parents and organizations like BSU unite with labor unions to create unity. “Our perspective is to fight every day in the classrooms,” he said. Mr. Bassette does not believe that whites and blacks can work together to fight racism. The only way to stop racism is to “smash the government, and whites are not going to help do this,” he asserted. “Blacks will do it.” Blacks and whites can work together to fight racism only by controlling communications, added Mr. Bassette. He explained that people are not bom with racist attitudes they come from books, magazines, papers, and parents. “You, can’t sit at a seminar and come out of the door and say Tm not racist anymore’," Mr. Bassette said. The University administration cannot be relied on, according to Mr. Bassette. “When you go to the President with a problem, he says, T didn't know this was happening,’ he writes down what your complaint is, gives you coffee, and starts talking. Then he gives the problem to a committee that just drags it out - ” ‘Apple cart’ Mr. Bassette felt most of the Black r I -<4 Studies staff also refuses to fight racism because they “don’t want to upset their apple cart.” Opposing Mr. Reitz’s appeal to “build the revolution,” Mr. Bassette declared that “whites leave when it's time to act.” Mr. Reitz responded that the time to act is now, and that the problems of blacks and whites are synonymous. A Revolutionary Communist Youth (RCY) member charged that the Committee Against Racism does not have a strategy and that its actions would not end racism. After proposing that racism could be fought by ending capitalism, he was interrupted by a member of the audience who asserted: “1 agree that capitalism causes racism, but nope of only acts your ‘isms’ will end racism will” Mr. Bassette also attacked the RCY member, arguing that “pasting up posters hasn’t changed black babies dying from a lack of health care.” In response to Mr. Reitz’s repeated attempts to shift the discussions from ideologies to activities on the University campus, Mr. Bassette said that blacks do not have the time to “sit around and plan for long-range goals.” The system has laready started killing blacks, he said. “They will get you too, and there won’t — - be anything left except a 1 nation of sheep.” At this point, someone from the audience added: “A nation of white sheep.” Speaking on racist indoctrination in the University, Dr. Wdock accused History professor John Halstead and Philosophy professor Paul Kurtz of being racists. One of Dr. Halstead’s courses is Cross-listed with the Black Studies department, Mr. Bassette pointed out. “This shows the total lack of concern on this campus,” he said. Textbooks, harassment, 77ie research, hiring, Spectrum, Ethos, and Humanist magazine are all racist, maintained Dr. Woock. Mr. Bassette attacked the situation of the average black student at this University. He said EOP counselors fight each other while students don’t know what’s going on. ‘There are a lot of foolish people here, playing pool and drinking wine,” Mr. Bassette contended. This is done on purpose, he asserted. He felt the University deliberately accepts “foolish people so that they can say that blacks don’t belong here. The blacks in the comer of the Ray playing cards they don’t hate white people individually, but the system made them that way, through a process of division,” claimed Mr. Bassette. — Kraftowitz chosen as editor of ‘The Spectrum’ Larry Kraftowitz, Campus Editor of The Spectrum since January, 1973, was elected Editor-in-Chief for the 1974-75 year last Wednesday. An English major in his junior year, Mr. Kraftowitz, 20, has been a member of The Spectrum since the beginning of his sophomore year. Although he realizes that many people are not interested in the day-to-day coverage of campus news, he hopes to stimulate awareness of “the important issues that affect all students, such as the future of the Colleges, Health Care, grading, the' four-course load, arming, teaching effectiveness, and insuring a greater student voice in academic decisions.” Strong stances Mr. Kraftowitz plans to write “well-informed and perceptive editorials,” and will attempt to gather as much input as possible from knowledgable sources. “The Spectrum should continue to take strong stances against the trend towards traditional academic programs at the expense of the innovative and creative,” he explained. Although he feels the student government and student press can work together on many important issues, Mr. Kraftowitz said the press “must also sSrve as a check on government.” Mr. Kraftowitz would like to see more in-depth Gustav coverage of city news, explaining that “most University students live in the Buffalo community and what happens in the city directly affects them.” Other plans for expansion include the addition of an “Op-Ed” page, similar to that of The New York Times “where people from the University and outside community may respond to the broad range of areas from campus issues to philisophical issues.” Mr. Kraftowitz feels diversification is important in a newspaper; in addition to campus artd city news, he will emphasize “analysis of national issues and in-depth feature stories on pressing social issues, such a$ drugs, discrimination, freedom of the press, poverty and the environment.” Mr. Kraftowitz said he would explore the possibility of making the Prodigal Sun, the Friday arts and music section of The Spectrum, a separate fourth issue to be distributed throughout Buffalo. He is considering adding a creative writing section, encompassing short stories, poetry and miscellaneous features, to the Prodigal Sun. In addition, he hopes to disprove the notion that the newspaper office is a “haven for white, middle-class students” by attracting interested minority students. A native of Laurelton, Mr. Kraftowitz’s only previous journalistic experience before coming to the University was writing “two sports stories for the school newspaper at Springfield Gardens High School.” Gus The guy to see for the , —Santos Larry Kraftowitz — cheapest Xerox copies in town! 355 Norton Hall M-F.9-5 Gustav Monday, 15 April 1974 The Spectrum . .

Opposition to Dr. Reichert’s motion is promised „by Faculty-Senate chairman-elect George Hochfield. The Faculty-Senate Committee on Teaching Effectiveness has already reviewed the Analysis of Courses and Teachers (ACT), program. The two-year experimental program, due to end this spring, used student evaluations of University professors to evaluate their teaching performances. The results, as explained by ACT director Bruce Francis, were to be used by faculty to improve their teaching, and by students to aid in choosing instructors. debate. There are indications that faculty unions are taking a completely different stance on the issue than either Dr. Reichert or Dr. Hochfield. The union apparently does not want the Faculty-Senate to even consider the legislation. Dr. Hochfield terms this a good example of faculty fears concerning students evaluation teaching performances. Student input is vitally needed at this Faculty-Senate meeting. “If no one feels threatened,” explained Dr. Reicher, “no one will show up. We need student input into this thing. It is vital.

Evaluation or bureaucracy Hochfleld feels that Dr. students “ought to have the primaiy responsibility in the creation of the instruments.” He does not think that any program can improve teaching effectiveness. Dr. Reichert, on the other hand, wants to preserve the Analysis of Courses and Teachers program because he feels that it can improve teaching effectiveness. “Decentralization will just create more bureaucracy and so , many committees,” explained Dr. Hochfield, adding that it is just not viable. “No one knows what they want,” he. commented. He wants the students to bear the burden of the evaluation program, although Mark Humm, SA Academic Affairs Coordinator, has pleaded with the Faculty-Senate not to place this burden on the Student Association.

The Canon F-1 is the camera that can fulfill any photographic task to which you put it. It can stand up to your ability in any situation. Dr. Hochfield and Dr. Reichert appear to agree only on one subject: the dissemination of the results of the questionnaires. ‘The expression of faculty fears is outrageous,” said Dr. Hochfield. It is widely acknowledged that many faculty members refuse to have the results of their student evaluations made known. There will be further complications in tomorrow’s Page six . The Spectrum .

However, his death last week caught most of the world by surprise, and set off a near chaotic scrimmage for the succession. “His death was a brutal blow to declared France,” Jean-Francois Merle, contributor to the New Observer, a French socialist periodical, a$d currently a teaching assistant in the Department of French at this University. Mr. Merle discussed the state of France after Pompidou Tuesday at a program sponsored by the Departments of French and Political Science at the faculty club*'' Mr. Merle said even though the death of the President was a great surprise to many observers, had been Mr. Pompidou preparing for a changeover in power months ago. In December the ailing leader sought out top-level cabinet posts for many of his associates. He removed the head the government of controlled television system and installed a “high civil servant with a sense of obedience,” according to Mr. Merle. In addition, Pompidou’s chief press aide was given a high echelon position in the hierarchy of the nationalized TV stations. As further evidence of this subtle transition Mr. Merle President explained that Pompidou had included items in the French supplemental budget that “contained obvious electoral measures in a time of inflation.” Unfortunately the second President of France’s Fifth Republic died before he was able to choose his successor. The result has been a “great uncertainty,” in a country that has been ardently trying to assume a position of leadership in an uneasy Europe, Mr. Merle maintained. One of the most important effects of Pompidou’s suddent death, according to Mr. Merle, was the fierce division of Gaullist forces for the first time in 25 years. This may result in the election of a leftist President a new experience for the French people. The Gaullists have divided led by into three camps; — Jacques reform-minded conservative Chaban-Deimas, Valery Giscard D’Estaing, and Edgar Faure, a pro-business politician. This triple-split might prove beneficial to Francois Mitterrand, leader of the Socialist Party. Mitterrand ran for President in 1965 and forced de Gaulle into a runoff election. Since then he has built up a strong connection with the Communist Party. When asked about the future of the French strength Presidency, Mr. Merle said If a Gaullist was elected he would "keep the constitution as it is but would be more dependent on parliamentary politics.” If Mr. Mitterrand wins, he stated, there will be some limitation to the power President’s “as is consistent with the Communist' and Socialist parties.” Even by Jeffrey S.

Fifty years ago the rails ran America. Today only a miracle and massive amounts of money will save them from extinction. Luckily for us, though, many of the structures which served the railroads are still standing as silent monuments to history. While, most have been dormant for some time, few are demolished soon after closing. Unfortunately vandalism has ruined quite a few of the old stations, but despite the broken windows, the old majesty and mystique come through. These photographs were taken in various places. The Erie-Lackawanna Hoboken terminal was built in 1907. Trains would pull into Hoboken and the passengers would then transfer to cross-Hudson steam ferries. Busses displaced the ferries in the early '60's. Another interesting site is the East Salamanca B&O yards which is the home of continually running, unmanned trains. The water tower dates from steam engine days; on a siding sat a few former passenger cars which once served as homes for B&O employees. Finally, there are a few assorted photos: the Buffalo Erie-Lackawanna station, as viewed from its deserted switchhouse; the Sayre, Penna. Erie station, long empty; and the Raritan River Railroad (Sayervilld, N.J.) freight office, still in operation. ISiJ Monday, 15 April 1974 The Spectrum . . Page nine �of freedom of the press,' declared a statement for the University Administration. "It's censorship," said Biology professor Harold Segal. "The responsibility for censorship does not rest with the state or federal government." observed Congressman Jack Kemp. "Student newspapers serve far loo many important functions," said Robert Berdahl, chairman of the University's Higher Education Department. The funding of student newspapers "should be continued,' said SUNY Board of Trustee member William Hassett. "I am opposed to the principles behind the bill," said State Assemblyman Chester Hardt. The question is whether the widespread opposition to encompassing not only students but faculty/ the bill administrators, legislators, the press and community leaders can influence the vote on the bill in the State Senate tomorrow. Sponsored by John Marchi, the bill has strong conservative and Republican support and has a good chance of passing the Senate. Lobbyists view their best chance of killing this repressive bill in the State Assembly, where Assembly Speaker Perry Duryea could bottle it up in the Rules Committee. Two years ago, SUNY Chancellor Ernest Boyer persuaded Mr.- Duryea to sit „on a bill abolishing student fees; a similar scenario is possible this year. Conservative support for the bill stems from anger that certain college newspapers have printed what they consider most recently an allegedly 'obscene' material the City College of New York pornographic cartoon in and has fueled charges that student newspapers have misused public funds. While there have been abuses in the college press, most student newspapers across the state have been extremely responsible, often more so than the professional media. But the way to combat occasional abuses is not by totally eliminating student publications, the only medium which can reach and inform an entire college community. A far 'more intelligent method of controlling abuses would be to transfer editorial responsibility for libel from the particular universities to the student editors who publish each campus newspaper. This the bill would also after, of course, it has cut off their funding. This is a do counter-productive action which would completely sacrifice campus communication to prevent an occasional offensive cartoon or article. The answer is increased responsibility on the student editors, which would increase editorial restraint; not the elimination of the college press entirely. We believe that a law which specifically bans the use of student fees for student newspapers would be clearly unconstitutional, a violation of the First Amendment's press freedoms and an interference in the vital dissemination of news to college communities. Such a punitive law could be interpreted as blatant censorship by the state government because the lawmakers disliked certain published material; a censorship that would extend to every student publication in the state, whether guilty of improprieties or not. It must be emphasized that student activity fees are not public tax monies, but a $67 fee which the State University collects from students with their consent for the sole purpose of serving the student body. Student newspapers undoubtedly fit every guideline for student fees established by the SUNY Board of Trustees —-but the State Legislature is attempting to play politics with how the fees are spent. Despite some exaggerated claims, students are not forced to subsidize campus newspapers. Each state campus has regular referendums as to whether a mandatory tee should be collected at all, and then the students' elected the student government decides representatives whether student publications should be funded and how much money they should receive. By passing this law, the ostensibly claiming to protect the "rights" of Legislature students will actually be imposing its will on students, as well as eliminating the most essential means of communication on state campuses. The reactions of all individuals and groups to this law which borders on outright censorship has been almost universally negative. We hope the State Senators voting and tomorrow will be guided by reason, not emotion ways by are better to control abuses than realize that there the most vital information source eliminating completely on every State University campus. �MAD Ail ABOUT IT - . . .

While we disagree that Prof. Lawler represents the continuity of the class-struggle politics of Karl Marx, we nevertheless stand in solidarity with him against the administration. Although we give no political support to Lawler, defense of the left against attack is a basic socialist principle which we have consistently upheld. To abandon this principle is to pave the way for further repressions. An attack on one is an attack on all! REINSTATE LAWLER! UNIVERSITY HANDS OFF THE LEFT! To the Editor: Against the background of continuing financial cutbacks throughout the University, and attacks on the most minimal democratic reforms of the University such as the Colleges, Dr. James Lawler, despite complete support from his department and Faculty, is being fired by the U.B. administration. The RCY unconditionally supports Prof. Lawler’s right to teach at U.B. Dr. Lawler is a radical academic who fancies himself a Marxist, and it is because of his political beliefs and activities that he is being purged from Revolutionary Lawler:i ooivital contribution Youth hjh To the Editor: It does not take any wild stretch of the imagination to comprehend that the termination of Dr. Lawler’s contract was motivated by political rather than reasons. Thus, while we can attest to Dr. Lawler's erudition and competence as a professor, we fully realize that these are not the issues at hand. What then are the underlying reasons for termination of his contract? We would assert that Dr. Lawler’s progressive stance on University and national issues are seen as a threat to this University’s administration; and in a broader context his views stand in grating opposition to the policies of an economic system that finds it increasingly necessary to squeeze out (whether from the universities or upper echelon jobs) sectors of the working class women, Blacks, and other Third World groups in order to propser. This latest incident is symptomatic of this squeezing out trend. It is not a far step from the arming of the campus security police and the severe constraints imposed upon the Colleges by , the passing of the Reichert Prospectus to the termination of Dr. Lawler’s contract. The depth of this trend is indicated by the fact that even though Dr. Lawler’s reappointment was “favored’ by the philosophy department faculty, the philosophy department chair-person, the personnel committee of the Faculty of Social Sciences, and the acting Provost of Social Sciences, his contract has been terminated. A philosophy department which is prohibited from offering courses to students in Marxist philosophy is a department which omits s chunk and significant contribution to philosophical thought. We demand that Dr Lawler’s contract be renewed. John Noonan Stephen Gencarello Steven Ewald Robert B.

Blurred achievement To the Editor. It is a shame that the great accomplishment achieved by Henry Aaron nationwide only rated a blurred picture on the ‘Back Page” of The Spectrum. In all fairness give credit where credit is deserved, regardless of color or whose record was broken. For a liberal paper an article on this achievement should have been the only moral thing to do. Disappointed P.S. Your pendulum is swinging more to the right every day! So enough already. Where is spring? I mean if there is a ransom involved, let’s hear about it so that we can respond. It’s enough to make one think Hades has carried off Persephone again. What’s the matter, your classic education showing a few weak spots? I learned about the legend by being caught in an art gallery with a group of obnoxious scholars. (Note; an “obnoxious scholar” is anyone who knows more than I do about something and does not have the decency to keep their mouth shut.) It seems that Hades, lord of the underworld, carried off poor old Persephone back down to his domain where he raped her. This, rather understandably, upset her mother, Demcter. This lady set out looking for her daughter, who was nowhere to be found on earth v. seeing as how she was being held captive in hell. In | l|p • addition to which Demcter, who was in charge of growing things, said that all this growing and multiplying on the earth was about to cease, forthwith, until someone did something about her daughter. by Steese So crops failed, and no new lambs were bom, and the ears of the gods were soon ringing with the besccchmepts and cursings of men. Of which they soon tired would you like the whole world yelling at you all the time? And they went and found Demeter and said, how about it, lady? To which she sensibly responded, do something about my daughter. So the rest of the gods called up Hades and a bargain was struck but only because Persephone had only eaten two seeds all the time she had been in hell. (Apparently, if she ate normally she would have had to stay there, and if she ate nothing maybe she could have left free and clear.) Anyway it was finally agreed that Persephone could come back and live with her mother three-quarters of the year, but had to stay with Hades the other quarter. So, we have winter, when she is down in hell, and spring when she first comes back, summer when everything is fine, and autumn when she is getting ready to leave again. So for this year I could were I a pagan, which no one in their right mind would admit in a monotheistic society really get anxious that Hades is not cooperating per the legal separation, and Demeter, ever the protective mother, is passing the flack on to us again. When 1 first read the above story, I was struck by the activity level and power of Demeter. No screaming, no hysterics, just a straightforward assessment of what she could do. Which turned out to be A) go look, and B) bug the people who could perhaps do something more directly.

Actually, the purpose of the article was quite honorable, but all was lost when the illiterate Marin has become author wrote (and I quote) a superb sixth man (even if he does have a purple ”... shoulder).” The parenthetical statement was senseless, purposeless, degrading, ignorant, and . . .

As an ardent Spectrum reader, I can only hope that such ignorance in journalism will be diminished (than obliterated) in future issues.

No. 74 — , — me, particularly to TV, since it is hard to futz around with your guitar in a movie theater you keep scraping people with the ends of the strings, and such I see much more TV than I do motion pictures. There is a dog food commercial for some company with beef in its dog food, which in you managed to miss it consists of, 1 guess, newlyweds out shopping and he reminds his little bride three times about his brand having more beef in it than the others, which she forgets within ten seconds. Ha-Ha-Ha! I have no doubt there are people that are forgetful it would be tactless to say stupid, right? in the world, ofboth sexes. I suspect him, in that commercial, of being one, why‘'ebe would he be hanging around with her? Anyway, the whole thing is a total putdown of women. What really puzzles me is why assuming that the bulk of the food shopping is still done by women in this country any woman in her right mind would buy that crap. Would Kan more appropriate to me to slash the bag as I went by but then, I never was very civilized. In general, it seems that an inordinate number of TV shows, perhaps it is more old movies but that doesn’t feel quite right, depend on somebody frequently a woman doing something stupid. Think about it. What fun would it be if people acted sensibly in a horror movie? Somebody has disappeared in the cave from which there were screams and strange gurglings. “Come, let us go and see why people have disappeared and there are strange gurglings.” Does anyone ever say, at this crucial point of plot development, “Are you crazy? We have no idea what we are looking for but it might be dangerous and I think we should take precautions?” Rarely does one hear anyone talk that but I could be watching an even worse than way average set of TV shows. Mind you, I don’t think so, but the logical possibility exists. Or it may just be that competent, effective. sensible people, either female or male, arc harder to write about. It is much easier to talk about a situation in which someone does something which other people have to resolve, than it is to talk about the more reality-consistent problems of people dealing with a world resembling our own. But it would make bad theater. People would rather be hyped into seeing The Great Gatsby, which has all the things the avaricious piece of us would like to have. Quiet, lower key existences about people who get by, don’t sell so well as murder mysteries, i guess I know more people who are trying to get by, than who go around murdering people.

Head coach Jim McDonough, entering his second year at the helm of the track program, will be pressed to exceed his victory total of one in his initial season. This year’s team faces another tough schedule highlighted by the New York State Indoor Champion Cortland. One of the runners McDonough and Assistant coach Don Sauer will be counting on is Eldred Stephens, a freshman speedster from Niagara Falls. Stephens was thd mainstay of the indoor season, placing fourth in the N.Y.S. Indoor Championships in the 60-yard dash. His time of 0:06.3 was only one-tenth of a second off the qualifying time of 0:06.2 for the NCAA Indoor Championships. (A 0:06.3 indoor time for 60 yards is equivalent to aD;09.6 in the 100.) Stephens’ talents aren’t limited to' running. He also excels in the long and triple jumps placing fourth in the N.Y.S. indoor championships in the triple jump with a jump of 45 feet 3 inches. His best effort of the indoor season was a 45 foot 9Vi inch effort at the Pitt Invitational, and he long jumped 22 feet 10 inches at the Ohio State Relays. Joining Stephens in the sprint relays this spring will be Larry Stokar, with the other two spots still open. The Bulls will open the outdoor season short on middle-distance runners. Larry Mentkowski, top middle distance man for the Bulls, is out with an injbry, and the time of his return is as yet undetermined. Senior captain Doug Lake will be competing in the 440, and will be joined by Pete Cosola and. A1 Moore in the distance relays. Paul Carroll, a junior letterman from Amherst, will be the Buffalo distance event hopes, running the mile and 3-mile runs in dual meets, as well as the 3-mile arid 6-mile races in tournaments.

Eight Buffalo errors gjftwrapped 10 unearned runs as Long Island j L/njversity handed the Bulls a 14—6 defeat. The loss which dropped Buffalo’s record under .500 at 7-8-1, may be costly to the Bulls post season - innings of work. “We just had a bad game,” Bill remarked Bull coach (Bull Monkarsh. “Jimmy shortstop Lalyanis) just got psyched out by the diamond. We lost to Brockport last year, and we still have to beat St. John’s tomorrow (Saturday),” Monkarsh added. The field at Creedmoor resembled the streets of San Francisco, featuring many hills and valleys. The Bulls had taken a 6—1 lead after five and a half innings before the roof fell in. Catcher Gary Cox’s pair of doubles accounted for two of the Bulls runs, while third baseman Gary Montour’s single accounted for two 1 more. The Bulls faced St. John’s Saturday, before returning Buffalo to face Niagara on Thursday. Niagara was the scene of the Bulls “giveaway” last year, as seven Buffalo errors gave the Eagles a 9-8 triumph. tournament hopes. The game was played on the grounds of Creedmoor State Mental Hospital.

Page thirteen �Tennis New talented midfield Bulls covet warm weather highlights lacross team to prepare for tournament by David J. Rubin Spectrum Staff Writer Buffalo lacrosse is now in its third year. The team is led by Pat Abrami, an attackman who paced the Bulls in scoring last year and figures to repeat this year. Hank Brandenstein and Luke Schalinger wil help out Abrami on the front line, and Paul Rotondo and Wally Davis should add punch from the midfield. Head Coach Frank Szoka feels that these five will score at least S0% of all Buffalo goals. Last year, the lacrosse Bulls posted a 5-3 mark which pleased Szoka. “1 think we won all the games we should have won, except for one,” he laid. That game was a 13-10 loss at Oswego State. This year, though, Oswego wil come to Buffalo and Szoka was hopeful: “We 'should be able to get a measure of revenge.” New look The Bulls have a new look this April 20 year. An entire midfield has not returned from last year along with other key players, and a new large wave of talented freshmen and transfer students has come on the scene. Szoka admitted that the revamped team “hasn’t jelled,” but he expected that this would not severely hurt the team’s play. “Any coach is an eternal optimist. It’s how we play that counts. 1 would hope that we get to play better as a team during the season,” observed Szoka. Unlike most of the athletic teams at Buffalo, the lacrosse team is a club team. Therefore, eligibility is not restricted to undergrads and many of the Bulls are graduate students, notably Abrami and Szoka himself. However, this system is not always helpful because as the season winds down, many of these grad students miss games in favor of studying for finals and the team’s performance suffers.

On every State University campus in New York State, student newspapers represent the only means of communication for students, faculty and administrators for the entire college community. Far from being partisan vehicles for student opinion, student publications serve the - vital function of disseminating news. Without them, faculty and administrators would be unable to announce meetings, services, academic matters, deadlines, activities, policy decisions, or any other campus event or decision of importance. The bill approved by the State Senate's Higher to be discussed Education Committee Thursday morning would prohibit by the State Senate on Tuesday mandatory student fees from being used to fund student newspapers on any SUNY or CUNY campus. While one or two newspapers might partially survive on advertising revenue, practically every other student publication in the state subsists on student fees and would be forced to stop publishing if this bill becomes law. The bill is said to have considerable Republican and conservative support. In large measure, this support stems from the feeling that certain college newspapers have abused their funds by publishing obscene material. An allegedly pornographic cartoon printed by the City College of New York newspaper recently aroused the ire of Senator James Buckley and many others. However, any objective judge would have to admit that overall, student newspapers across the state have been extremely responsible, with occasional abuses occurring far A far more less often than in the professional media. intelligent method of controlling abuses would be to transfer editorial responsibility for libel from the particular universities to the student editors who publish each campus newspaper. This the bill would also do, but with the added provision of completely cutting off their funding. This is a counter productive action which would completely sacrifice campus communication to prevent an occasional offensive cartoon or article. The answer is increased responsibility on the student editors, which would increase editorial restraint; not the elimination of the college press entirely. specifically banning the We believe that such a law would be use of student fees for student newspapers Amendment's violation of the First unconstitutional, a the vital press freedoms and an interference in dissemination of news to college communities. Such a punitive law could be interpreted as blatant censorship by the state government because the lawmakers disliked certain published material; a censorship that would extend to every student publication in the state, whether guilty of improprieties or not. There are many larger questions whether a State Legislature law could supercede the SUNY Board of Trustees fee guidelines, which clearly permit the funding of student newspapers; and the issue, as in health care, of if the State should be able to control the expenditure of student fees with no input from those who the students. must pay the $67 We strongly urge every concerned individual to call, write or send a $1 "public opinion" telegram (by dialing 1 800 257 2221 toll free) to their State Legislator, and especially Senate majority leader Warren Anderson and Assembly Speaker Perry Duryea, admonishing them to vote against this bill. Students are not forced to subsidize we are student newspapers, as some have claimed students, of poll faculty and confident that a state campus would reveal administrators on any overwhelming support for the funding of student newspapers, the only medium which can reach and inform an entire college community. We hope that the State Senators voting Tuesday will clearly think this issue that through and reach the only inevitable conclusion there are better ways to control abuses than by completely eliminating the most vital information source for students, faculty and administrators on every State University campus. Student newspapers at State Universities and Colleges will cease to exist, if the State Legislature passes a bill that would prhibit the use of mandatory student fees to finance campus publications. For the survival of a free, unrestricted disemmmation of news, please immediately send emergency telegrams to your State Assemblyman and Senator, urging them to vote against Bill 5 -4638., which has just been approved by the Senate Higher Education Committee and will be voted on by the State Senate this Tuesday.

Esposito Spectrum Staff Writer Legislation to open now-confidential student flies to college students has been introduced' in the New York State Senate and Assembly. The bill is co-sponsored by State Senator John Flynn (R., Yonkers and the Bronx) and State Assemblyman Anthony Olivieri (D., Manhattan). 1 The legislation, which would change a section of the state education code dealing with disclosure of information contained in personal student flies, would “cover all personal files in the college which can be retrieved under the student’s name. Social Security number, student identification number, or any other identifying code,” explained Senator Flynn. The bill would enable college students to examine their personal files and rectify any errors with their own comments. In addition. Senator Flynn said that “students could add more data" to their files. Students to check files The law would cover all colleges and universities chartered by the Regents of New York State. Any college now maintaining student! records “other than grades” would be required by law to inform students of the existence of the record and the date the file was initiated, unless the student supplied the school with all the information in the file. Students would be given access to their files “at least once per semester and at reasonable intervals thereafter,” in order to check their own records and to supplement them with “any document or comment the student feels is relevant,” Senator Flynn explained. Furthermore, the university would be required to “record the names and positions of all persons inspecting the student’s file, the date of such inspections, and the purpose of the inspection,” Senator Flynn added. Also, the college may not disclose information in any file to anyone not employed by the college without prior approval of the student or, if the student could not be — Public demands more privacy A statement from Assemblyman Olivieri asserted that “an increase in public demand for personal privacy” is now apparent. This bill is one step in an attempt to halt encroachment on individual privacy.’ Mr. Olivieri cited [and] the “the White House enemies list,’ FBI records Watergate furor’ as underscoring the need for the bill. The proposed law is now being considered in the Education Committee of both the State Assembly and Senate. Neither Senator Flynn nor Nancy Abraham, an assistant to Assemblyman Olivieri, would speculate on the likelihood that the bill would be passed by the legislature. The law would go into effect on the September 1st after passage. Thus, if passed this session, it would become law this fall. ‘ ... ‘5% chance of passage The law was requested by the City University Student Senate. The need for the legislation came from “several cases of abuse at sopie schools,’ involving interference by the New York State Department of Unemployment, the Welfare Department, and police officials, according to Joseph Meyerson, formerly Vice-Chairman for Legislative Affairs for theCity University Student Senate. voluntary confidential Mr. Meyerson said that credentials files consisting of letters of recommendation would probably not be covered by this law.

Americans tolerated the ugly realities of war for ten years, squirming through the nightly gore of wounded bodies in living color. They saw 50,000 of our young men killed; saw hospitals and dikes bombed; watched American bombers obliterate villages and make six million Asian refugees homeless. Then we signed our laughable "peace" agreement, withdrew our troops in exchange for our ROW'S, and continued the war by proxy; substituting yellow bodies for white ones. But our proxy war in Indochina is not a new strategy, only the latest phase in 20 years of an American attempt to impose its will on Vietnam. France could not have fought in Indochina in the 1950's without American money and supplies; after the French defeat in 1954, we continued to support puppet dictatorships in South Vietnam until we escalated our role to direct military involvement. We sent in U.S. troops in 1965 after the fabricated Gulf of Tonkin incident, and when eight years of ground fighting and bombing failed to win the war and was politically rejected at home, we withdrew our troops. But we did not end our involvement. Instead, we have single-handedly kept an unpopular dictator in power by financing General Nguyen van Thieu's million-man army and police state rule. South Vietnam has systematically violated the Paris peace agreements with American guns, American ammunition and American money: $2.2 billion this year, with more hidden in "economic aid" actually used for weapons. As a signatory to the peace agreements, we have violated our word both legally and morally. As the supposed defender of South Vietnam against Communism (a tired rationale rendered ludicrous by our accommodation with Russia and China), we have financed a' police state far more repressive than most socialist regimes. And after bombing and defoliating Indochina for a decade, only this we continue to fuel death and destruction there time yellow bodies do the killing with our guns. When Senator Edward Kennedy requested information about the Nixon Administration's Indochina policy, Saigon Ambassador Graham Martin wrote Secretary of State Kissinger that "it would be the height of folly to permit Kennedy...the tactical advantage of an honest and detailed answer." The Ambassador also linked Senator Kennedy, an outspoken critic of U.S. policy in Indochina, to "those whose objective is to aid Hanoi." This is the old Administration chestnut: that anyone who disagrees with U.S. policy is either a Communist, a subversive seeking to threaten national security, or an enemy sympathetic to Hanoi or Moscow. Saigon's jails are filled with political prisoners; only General Thieu's huge police force keeps him in power. Political elections would probably produce a neutralist government in Saigon; Thieu knows this, and so he continues to spurn reconciliation by aggressively shelling areas under the other side's control. Since his continuance in power is totally dependent on American military money, he can never allow a state of peace or reconciliation to develop; he must maintain a state of war to receive the guns which keep him in power. President Nixon is sacrificing human lives for selfish political ends as he did when he mercilessly bombed Hanoi and Haiphong during Christmas 1972 to change a few words in the Paris agreement he had no intention of carrying out anyway. General Thieu remains the puppet for American military policy in Vietnam. Those who urge abandoning Thieu, such as Mr. Kennedy, want not a Communist victory but an end to the war we are fueling. Even after last year's pullout from Vietnam, American B-52's continued to rain death on Cambodia until Congress attached an anti-bombing rider to one bill after another and finally tied Mr. Nixon's hands last August 15. Last week, the' House rejected Mr. Nixon's request for $474 million in extra aid to Saigon, and the $2.4 billion requested for next year ($3 billion with secret CIA funds) faces rough opposition. Once American bodies were no longer on the line, the moral protests of youth against the killing in Indochina which turned the nation against the war in the '60's faded with the draft. But the killing goes on; the war goes on; the human misery continues, financed solely by American taxpayers' dollars. As we forced this country out of Vietnam and forced an end to the bombing of Cambodia, we must pressure Congress into slashing the death money that enables a police state dictator to continue to wage war. We bear the responsibility for the human destruction in Indochina, and as long as we continue to look the other way, the blood of slaughtered thousands remains on our hands. Page four Hie Spectrum Friday, 12 April 1974 - — — — — . . BLT from Buffalo April 12,1974 The ten years that have passed since Barry Goldwater's unsuccessful Presidential bid have been years of confusion, transition, political polarization and finally, reconciliation in the face of the threat of Presidential abuses, which have threatened to undermine the entire democratic process. -The ten-year span seaprating us from the election of 1964 seems to have crystallized the issues of that campaign into a hard and fast contrast of right and left. The complete reversal of position by Lyndon Johnson after he was elected (the bombing of North Vietnam which he had decried as a grave error, committing American ground troops to Indochina after promising never to do so) and the subsequent disappearance of Mr. Gold water from national political life, placed the entire 1964 campaign into an isolated perspective from which it was often — viewed but rarely questioned. The tenth anniversary of that huge Democratic landslide, inevitable comparisons made to George McGovern’s 1972 defeat, and the recent outspoken criticisms of Richard Nixon made by Senator Goldwater, have combined to focus considerable the Barry Goldwater, attention on decisively-defeated Presidential candidate, and Barry Goldwater, the revivified political strong man. Hectic events of the last year have also added to the build-up of a certain nostalgic sentiment for the old the 1964 election when everything was so days” clearly divided along ideological lines. The 1964 Republican National convention in San Francisco’s Cow Palace full of yahoos, haters, and nuts” was recalled recently by Roy Reed, The New York Times Southern correspondent, as the scene of a spontaneous outburst of fascist energy which filled the air. A similar observation made by Drew Pearson at the convention labelled it a modern fascist rally. The extremist labels no doubt hindered Mr. Goldwater’s effort and left him branded as a dangerous radical who had moved so far to the right that he could not rule the country without dragging it into a third world war. The charges were unfair, many of them more rumors based on misconceptions and unfounded doubts. In retrospect, they seem foolish. They did, however, hit their mark with deadly accuracy. Mr. ‘ — - ‘ Goldwater himself commented after the election: “If I hadn’t known Barry Goldwater in 1964 and had to depend on the press and the cartoons, 1 d have voted against the son of a bitch.” Mr. Goldwater is now an influential but tame Senator from the State of Arizona. His behavior over the last decade has transported him back into the fold of American politics while the more extreme of his followers have remained outcasts searching for a new right-wing candidate to latch onto. It appears they have found their man in the person of George Wallace. Mr. Wallace is enjoying the best of two worlds; the big-time political elbow rubbing with Washington power brokers and Northeast liberals on one hand; and the traditional Southern mass-rally demogoguery with grass-roots organization on the other. In their haste to level attacks against corrupt politicians now in office, the press has failed to critically survey the advances made by Governor Wallace. The distinction between conservative and liberal viewpoints have not disappeared; they’ve become less clear. Non-partisan attacks against Presidential abuses of power coming from all points on the political spectrum make those distinctions all the more vague. The haste to unite against a common front should not be allowed to cloud underlying and important ideological distinctions. The recent public opinion surveys depict Senator Edward Kennedy and Governor Wallace as the two leading choices for the 1976 Democratic nomination. This unlikely combination is due primarily to the respectability attributed to Mr. Wallace’s toned-down rhetoric, and his ostensible shift toward the center so carefully engineered. The philosophical rift separating the two is difficult to locate when they appear together in public, shaking hands and extolling the nebulous virtues of “the people.” Political respectability is granted as easily as it is denied. Journalistic zeal aimed at avoiding a repeat of the distortions of 1964 may very well go too far in the opposite direction, lending blanket credibility and respect to a candidate who may not deserve it. Balancing one extreme with another is no substitute for responsible political coverage. Platforms, campaign activities should always be put into perspective, a perspective which does justice to the candidate and permits the reader to keep track of what is happening with more clarity than a sequence of unrelated, and perhaps confusing, statements. Mr. Reed concluded his article with a curious observation. He refers to the celebrated “scent of fascism which filled the air” in 1964 as a description of current Wallace rallies where “the fever is running high.” He makes one interesting distinction, however. In 1964, it came from the convention floor and swamped the leaders who failed to keep it in check. At Wallace rallies, it comes from the leaders and is foisted upon unknowing crowds who eagerly devour if. The danger of irrational politicking should not be lost amidst Mr. Wallace’s new found and often unchallenged respectability. - The Spectrum Vd. 24, No. 73 Friday. 12 April 1974 Editor-In-Chief Howie Kurtz — Managing Editor Janis Cromer Business Manager Dave Simon Aaat.

The novel's laws are not algebra our laws, their aesthetic of Peculiar An examination of some of the violence, nightmare and cruelty are not ours; and" yet they affirm narrative detail will reveal the human hallucinatory reality of Hawkes' certain pathetic and vision. The narrator, Allert, has values. In an interview, Hawkes says, been sent on a pleasure cruise "I don't advocate crippling; I'm alone, his wife Ursula sends him an opponent of torture. I deplore aboard the white ship. The white ship, becalmed the nightmare; I deplore terror. I happen to believe that it is only during the pleasure cruise, rolls in by traveling those dark tunnels, the ocean "like a bottle lying on literally not but its side in a sea of oil."

I - Dutchman obsessed with sexual mythology, with death, with sleep and with travel, plans never to look at the rough sea again, although he is "filled with it like a sewn-up skin with salt." Allert floats in the ship's pool like the ship itself floats on the ocean. The concentric metaphor is made explicit when the ship is becalmed and Allert is lying terrified with a young girl in her stateroom. He is sexually aroused, achieves an erection and "Suddenly, marvellously, I \ ... — — 'The Cask of Amontillado"); it is rare that such a narrator can sustain the length of a novel.

Blood Oranges, one could never quite decide if the lyric narrator, Cyril, intended his high-flung dithyrambs seriously and, if he did, how in the world Hawkes or intended regarded them. Typically, questioned, when Hawkes comes up with some cryptic statement about the comedy of the narrative voice and the ironic reconsideration of the genre of the novel; but this is brushing under the narrative rug the fact that obsession with personal voice has led Hawkes to needless interiority and ambiguity of intention. Instead of the narrative detachment that is Hawkes' ideal, in the recent novels the reader wanjts the author there beside him to clarify intentions. Death, Sleep & the Traveller powerfully evokes nightmare, it is a brilliant, resonant and very peculiar failure. — — Originality After the publication of The Blood Oranges in 1971, Robert Scholes asked Hawkes about the use of personal nightmares or other semi- or subconscious material in his work. Hawkes replied, "Certainly not... I believe in coldness, detachment, ruthlessness, a lot of consciousness in the choice of narrative material... In the process of writing my hope is to liberate the kind of energy and to uncover the kinds of material that seem desperately and beautifully essential to us as readers." From stated affiliations with the comic-nightmare modes of Djuna Barnes, Nathaniel West and Flannery O'Connor, Hawkes *fjas created a shape for the novel that is distinctively and frighteningly his own. His fiction is hallucinatory and chilling, he evokes the madness of one's worst nightmares coming relentlessly true. In his quest for originality and purity he has fallen into certain narrative pitfalls, he's even invented a-few, but he remains the most interesting and most singular novelist writing today. John Hawkes ' — short story (Poe's demented narrators, particularly the one, in In Death, Sleep & the Traveler, Hawkes • creates a system of metaphorical inversions. A metaphor is both referential and causally related to the object it represents. In other words, not only does the grinding propeller represent sexual activity, but the act of intercourse itself can start up a cruiser ship.

Sexual potency is identified with the motor, the motor is associated with movement through water. Later in the novel, Allert wanders through his house turning on taps, flushing toilets, only to discover (with mounting comic terror) that there is no water. Outside his wife starts up the car. The motor turns over. Every tap in the house starts gushing. i O0 " m D D F His name, Vanderveenan, points back to the narrator of Nabokov's Ada, Van Veen; and like Veen, Allert is ruthlessly, meticulously and often repulsively syntactic.

The problem with a narrator as obsessively driven as Allert (he has been accused of murder and is insanity) that while the obsessional narrator is perfect for the dramatic monlogue (Browning's "Porphyria's Lover" or "Soliloquy of the Spanish Cloister" come to mind), or the u cr a 4 w * � i# f AX 4 t s x,uit i . iuix-.io'iyo mii i . i/t.i >}«#>'■; �British director Jack Clayton (Room at the Top, The Pumpkin Eater) has tried the third approach, occasionally melting into the second. An attempt to create a. cinematic equivalent of the literary experience of Fitzgerald's book (approach number two) would have been the more imaginative and courageous course: it would have pull it taken a genius comparable to Fitzgerald to any real little of brought has Clayton Since off. only filmic vision or imagination to the project, the novel in Fitzgerald's excuse for it is to render the is, fact, what all This jn .faithful, literal terms. publicity has been claiming. In general, Clayton tries to give the audience interesting but trivial images to look at while bringing Fitzgerald's story and words to that audience; sugar-coating, as it were, the novel's words with pretty pictures. In Gatsby, Fitzgerald dealt with controversial, almost vulgar matters; marital infidelity, murder, and suicide. He made ambivalent statements on race relations, love, religion, and America's class structure. Fitzgerald's genius was his ability to handle cheap, crass topics with a rare delicacy and wit. Nothing crude is directly confronted in the novel we see the prelude and the results, but seldom the powerful incidents themselves, and certainly never with all the gory details. This shy, indirect approach to the world gives the events the full power of our imaginations. A kiss in Fitzgerald's novel has more love in it than anything I've seen on the screen in a long time. This, then, is one of Fitzgerald's secrets: subtlety sans exotericism . gentleness when dealing with the obvious. — — by Jay Boyar Spectrum Am Editor F. Scott Fitzgerald's novel. The Great Gatsby is now a movie for the third time. After the 1926 silent version came the 1949 attempt. Now, about one-half century since the book was written, comes the 1974 spectacular from Paramount Pictures. Never before has the trumpeting been so loud. "My only concern," says Paramount president Frank Vablans in Time magazine, "is not whether we've oversold it, but rather about the intellectual, purist approach the critics might take. I sense that some of them have a real you-better-show-me attitude." Well sir, they'd better show me! They've begun with one of the most beautiful American novels ever written, they've spent w§)l over six million dollars turning it into a film, and they've promoted it with grand and tricky publicity tactics. Indeed, they had better show all of us. Set in the roaring 20's, The Great Gatsby is the story of a poor boy (Jay Gatsby) who falls in love with Daisy, a rich girl. She promises to marry him, but when he must go to war she instead weds Tom Buchanan who is rich like she. The plot unfolds eight years later as Gatsby (now rich) tries to win Daisy back from Tom. His romantic dream ends up involving Myrtle Wilson (Tom's lover), her husband George, Jordon Baker (Daisy's sportive friend) and Nick Carraway, who does triple duty as Daisy's cousin, Gatsby's neighbor, and the story's narrator. * * * A movie based on a well-loved book brings to mind, once again, the issue of what relationship a book should bear to the film it begets. Basically, three valid courses have been tried by directors. One: Forget the book almost entirely, using some of its superficial features as springboards to create something new; something with little significant connection to the book. This approach is valid only if the director creates a new entity as good as or better than the book it exploits. Woody Allen tried this approach in his flick. Everything You've Always Wanted to Know About Sex. — .. Two: Preserve the feeling, characters, and plot of the book in cinematic terms, while discarding the prose. The film should emerge asan audio/visual entity with the book's spirit. This is a legitimate approach only if the filmic devices equal or surpass the book's literary ones. Three: Create something. which is a cinematically dramatization of the book, calculated to preserve on frm as many of the author's words and ideas as possible in literal terms. Such movies are uninteresting as cinema, but if the window dressings such as actors, music and camera work are good an<J interesting to watch, then the’ experience of seeing such a film can be as pleasurable as hearing people talk intelligently and sympathetically about a novel you love. * The problem plot A problem in adapting this book is that the adaptors remembered the plot very well because Fitzgerald's subtlety burned it into their brains. But those same adaptors forgot that it was the subtlety, not the events themselves, that brought power to the plot. When they went to make a film of the forceful occurrences, they did it in the most scream their heavy-handed way. Close-ups messages; everything happens on screen. There is none of Fitzgerald's quiet whispering. For instance, when Gatsby and narrator Nick first meet in the book, it occurs at Gatsby's party in an off-hand way. It is so much more memorable because its importance is set in clear contrast to its nonchalance. In the midst of partying people, Nick turns to the man next to him and says; 'This is an unusual party for me. / haven't even seen the host. . . this man Gatsby sent over his chauffeur with an invitation." For a moment he looked at me (Nick) as if he failed to understand. "I'm Gatsby,"he said suddenly. "What!" I exclaimed. "Oh, / beg your pardon." "I thought you knew, old sport. I’m afraid I'm not a very good host." Beautiful. In the movie, this scene is turned into a hokey spy-adventure with Nick being led by a scowling henchman into a cloistered study to meet Gatsby. It's like something left over from The Godfather. Incidently, The Godfather's director, Francis Ford Coppola, wrote Gatsby' s screenplay. The living language Language is another difficulty in the film. Fitzgerald had an uncanny gift for writing dialogue just as people speak. The easy, natural flow of pure humanity each work exactly in character and with perfect tone make it seem not so much the secretly-recorded writer's creation as a conversation. In contrast, when Nick narrates the story, the expository passages are, appropriate!'' contemplated, writer's remarks alive with gorge metaphors and verbal wit. Then he kissed her. At his lips' touc blossomed for him like a flower am incarnation was complete. And, had a dog at least had him for a few until he ran away and an old Dodge ai Finnish woman, who made my bed and coo breakfast and muttered Finnish wisdon to hers, over the electric stove. The movie does away with most of Nick narration and practically all of his best lines leaving us with precious few visual statements to take up the slack. Some of the narrative sentences are turned into dialogue this is disastrous. The wonderful effect of Fitzgerald's natural dialogue is destroyed by mixing it with his intentionally studied and artificial exposition that has been turned into dialogue. Half the time the characters talk like peole, and they talk like books the other half. — — / / — — — - — ' Page six The Spectrum Friday, 12 April 1974 . . �1 -fif 1 -» ' y SALE BIG In the novel, there's a lot of music which is presented in the form of people playing and singing songs as a part of the story a band at the party, a phonograph record to dance to, etc. This method is both an affectionate parody of mood music in movies and an attempt to achieve a somewhat - similar effect as that movie mood music does. In the film, when the music comes from a band or an individual who is on camera as a part of the story, it has a beautiful, ambivalent charm. However, when the typical ifiovie background music that springs from nowhere pipes in, it is terribly obtrusive. It is especially maudlin in the scenes at Wilson's garage when the horror of an automobile accident is underscored until the screen is slashed by a dripping, invisible orchestra. Nelson Riddle's melodies have never been more obvious or less appreciated. The obvious overkill This indelicate, sledgehammer approach even taints the more nicely done parts of the film. Waste, carelessness, and decaying idlenesss as by-products of wealth are visually well-established. The rich characters lounge around their homes swamped in sweat (no air-conditiong in the '20's) sparingly in Fitzgerald's book. I was afraid that, in order to get more footage of Robert Redford as Gatsby, the director would show much more of Gatsby in the film than is called for by the story. Fortunately, Redford as Gatsby is not overused; Gatsby is kept mysteriously off-camera trapping - everyone in his spider's web of love. Redford does the impossible in making Gltsby's starched, pretentious (rightly so, I must stress) lines come to life even the famous "old sport" salute. They are lines that call for an actor who is especially sensitvie to Gatsby's quiet, enormously romantic insanity. So annoyingly boring in other films, Redford's reserve serves him well in this one. Never before has he been as good. - Jesse Colin Young /Frank Zappa/Montrose Eagles $4.44 Blue Magic $3.77 - The dainty Deity , Mia Farrow creates a Daisy who is as lovely, spoiled and careless as any Daisy could be. As she does her little "charleston" and sings to herself in private indulgence, the scene is telling and natural. She gives us a Daisy no longer capable of love alternately seeking to escape from boredom and — danger. Sam Waterston's self-refective expression peaking out over a long, pointed nose give his Nick Carraway that perspective which none of the other characters can be allowed to have a writer's perspective. If such a thing is possible, then Waterston has a witty face. Scott Wilson and Karen Black as George and Myrtle Wilson are good, but most of their scenes are so obvious, over-written and ruined by background music that they often have a hard time — being effective. Giving a controlled, smooth performance as Tom Buchanan is Bruce Dern. Dern has a way of getting inside a character, wiggling around, and giving a surprising and consistent portrayal. You read the book and you think you know Tom, then you see Dern he keeps you guessing every and he's moment as to how he'll read each line always surprising and, well, right. — — and too hot to move. In the party scenes, the camera shoots up the women's dresses revealing the unattractive underpinnings of their sockings. The and rich folks waste food, get nauseous and knock things over with careless ease. My complaint the point is here is that it becomes overdone made too well and too often. The film footage that is spent making the point is almost as extravagant and wasteful as the rich people it attacks. One nice scene of this sort shows Daisy's hand passing over the numerous copper cakepans in Gatsby's kitchen. The sheer number of pans points out how wasteful the wealthy can be. We are to feel contempt for this excess. It is no fault of the movie, but I was ready to throw in the towel when the woman behind me, in viewing this scene, turned to her neighbor. Referring to the ring on Daisy's hand, she gasped in admiration, "Would you look at the size of that diamond?" — I may be in the minority, but I think that with reference to the principle characters, almost every acting performance is either excellent or very good. Although Gatsby 's aura permeates everything, the character of Gatsby is presented in action very The weird Wolfsheim only The characters that should be played in a larger-than-life, even heavy-handed way are Mr. Gatz (Gatsby's father) and Meyer Wolfsheim (Gatsby's Jewish business partner who fixed the 1919 World Series). These characters magically represent the conflicting traditions that created and nutured Gatsby. The actor who played Mr. Gatz (1,000 lashes for missing his name) brings to the role a quirky, and refreshingly mid-Western portrayal of the character as a humble man who takes a sad pride in his rich son. Howard Da Silva (1776) as Wolfsheim is excellent but, I thought, not quirky enough. Still, he is so damned natural, it's hard to fault him. Rounding out the principle cast is Lois Chiles as Jordon Baker. Mechanical where she should be bored, empty where she should be shallow, Chiles' Jordon is the only pedestrian characterization I saw in the film. The Great Gatsby is now playing at the Holiday Theater. When the movie is good, it is like hearing nice people discuss a good book; when it's bad it's like hearing that same book misjudged by stupid people. Still this is only the third try at a movie version of the novel. A fitting adaptation has tomorrow eluded us now, but that's no matter our arms we will run faster, stretch out farther...

Si-garland Express starring Goldie Hawn and Ben Johnson, is also a true story. And like Walking Tall, it involves simple people who seek only what is rightfully theirs. Back in 1969, two people in Texas, Clovis and Eugene Pomplin, set out to get back their two-year-old baby, who had been legally taken away from its mother. Clovis was serving a one-year sentence for some petty crime. He had four months to go when his wife came to the prison and helped him to escape. Comical would be the best description of the first third of the flick. Running out of prison, stealing an elderly couple's car that only did twenty-five miles per hour in the straightaways, and robbing green stamps to buy things for the little baby when they got him back all this took up a good hour and twenty minutes. — Acton speechless There is no acting, really, in that first third of the film. Director Steven Spielberg, who just happens to be Ms. Hawn's latest boyfriend, is content with zipping here and dashing there, using music and scenery as his ploy, it was a sad mistake. One does not take a Goldie Hawn, > Ben Johnson them speech! Kissinger and v summit meeting. Goldie Hi that stereotyi stupid in her Ms. Hawn "attempts only to fall syndrome, misfortunes, l have to laugh, from Laugh ! portray a low who has been and who cries ' performance though. Maybe know what Woodward 01 better for such a morbid and pitiful role. Missing: good script Ben Johnson, who has always been a great actor, plays the captain of the police department that is purssuing the Pomplins. With what he is given, Johnson is good. But the movie as a whole is very shallow; as a result, Johnson almost drowns in the non-existence of a good script. Probably the finest performance is given by Michael Sacks, who plays Clovis Pomplin. Clovis is not well-educated, but he wants to be a good man to himself and to his wife. His wife overpowers him at times, and he listens to her, for she is all that he's got. With a little script to back ■him up. Sacks does an excellent job. He is the only member in the cast who managed to save his role from obscurity. The movie is truel Let us not challenge its validity. But certain parts of the film seem just a little bit out of proportion. Like the entire state of Texas not being able to capture the two fugitives, even though they held a policeman hostage? Or Clovis literally walking out of prison and into a stranger's cat with no difficulty at all? These are minor points, true. But I have a strange feeling that people today are under the impression that if a moyie or story is true, then it'*got to be great. Sugarland Express is a good movie, not a great one. It tells a story and that's all. or brillant No character studies performances are given in this movie. What makes the movie good is the story itself which seems a bit incredible, but "they said it was true." Sugarland Express, unlike Walking Tall does not stir up one's emotions. After seeing the tatter, one may want to take a club and go out to rid society of its bad element.

Oh God, wily have you forsaken us? We have sinned, yes it was fun, but God, the terrible plagues that you have inflicted upon our weary brows is too terrible a punishment for such petty offenses. Tis April, a month that should be filled with laughter, birds, flowers, oh yeah, bees too. Yet in your wrath, you have seen fit to fill the sky with darkness, chill our bones, and depress our already weary spirits. Surely you must have some mercy upon our souls, anything is better than winter throughout the entire school year. In your wrath at our sins, you have sent powerful columns of wind against our western and southern neighbors; destroying their homes and sowing grief and sorrow. Tis true that Ohio and its neighboring states went heavily for Nixon in 1972;yea, who was to know that he was your arch-enemy Satan in disguise? Thus in your anger, you have sent snow, cold, and winds against your faithful but erring subjects what is next in your plan of retribution? — You have, in your farsighted and merciful manner, created shortages in foodstuffs and fuel, erased tapes and documents, created high prices, and overseen the usual Wars and inhumanities this year. Yea, you promised some of your children that through your scapegoat, that poor little Jewish carpenter, they could screw around and all of the sins would be erased by the shnook’s death. God, we believed you; we whored, murdered, raped, pillaged, lied, stole and committed unnatural acts, knowing that we had a line of credit from that Jewish jerk. God, is that you? Holy shit, it’s a talking tuna fish sandwich! Wow man, that’s an outrageous disguise; you sure you can’t get arrested for impersonating a Food Service tuna sandwich? Come on, cut the Biblical crap, tracing me back from the “son of so-and-so and the daughter of what’s-her-facc,” and get down to God business. Why the hell are we going through all of these plagues? The Jews of America don't want to be set free from bondage, so drop all of this “Let my people go” jazz. “Son, I as chairman of the board of the National Soul Investing Service, representing over billions of happily invested souls, my board of trustees and myself have decided that the line of credit established by one Jesus Christ in the name of the people of the World has been overdrawn by excessive use and must be replenished. No doubt that it was a beautiful act to sacrifice oneself for humanity, and then have to come back (like Huck and Tom) to see the dreadful effects upon your loved ones. It is true that because of this act, we established open credit for the human race in order to cover the outrageous actions that one human can perpetrate upon another, especially in the name of God. But enough is enough!” Oh God, will we forever be burdened with constant winter, Watergate, high prices, war, famine, and bad breath? What can we do to open a new line of credit so we can go back to our cruel and heartless manners, while enjoying the benefits of your blessings? Think of all those people who go to church, unburden their sins upon the back of Jesus who might have to rely upon themselves, rather than an all-purpose that soaks up sin. Think of the shock when people can’t unload their sins, and must carry them around as personal property until they return to the Earth! It’s unfair to assume that people should be responsible for their own sins without confession, or absolution, or J.C. (no, stupid, not Johnny Carson) to assume their sins. “Son, if you wish to remove these plagues that I have cast upon humanity, you must give up your life upon a cross and by this act absolve all of your fellow human beings from their sins.” God, as willing as I am to accept divinity, I feel that it is incumbant upon me to point out that utilizing another Christ to absolve humanity’s sins will not solve the problem of responsibility for one’s acts. While the Jewish people use the same device on Yom Kippur in order to cast away their sins, both Christians and Jews are abnegating any role by utilizing rituals to clear a conscience. Christ could die a thousand times and the sins of mankind will still rest upon those whom acted without care for their fellow men and women. The device of a Christ is only a sophisticated version of the pagan human sacrifice, which was used to appease the Gods for the acts committed during the previous year. This weekend, as you pray to_ your savior remember the sins of humanity rest upon our brow not upon a panecea which eases everyones — — — responsibility. Happy holidays.

We carry more than a hundred name brands, so you get what you want to buy, not what we need to sell. We’re equipped to set up an A vs. B listening test on any two components you care to name, always. And, because of our huge stock and turnover, we can offer prices and customer protection policies that other stores are unable to match. Join us in celebrating our Grand Opening and see for yourself. Remember, forty stores ago we had the same problem as you. system 649 $ m Tech Hifi’s slogan is “Quality Components at the Right Price”. As far as we’re concerned, that’s what it’s all about. Here’s a Tech Hifi system built around the Studiocraft 440 loudspeakers. The Studiocrafts are driven by the Nikko 5010 AM/FM stereo receiver with 45 rms watts total and Nikko’s exclusive circuit breakers. The automatic turntable is the rugged German-made Miracord 625 with very gradual damped cueing and pushbutton controls. Included are base, dustcover, and Shure M91ED cartridge.

Southpaw John Roach, ace of the LIU pitching staff, will probably draw the mound assignment against Buffalo, as Fran Hlrschy, who was to have paced the Blackbird staff, is out of action. “We’re not getting the hitting that we got last year,” remarked LIU sports information director Bob Gesslein. “We’ve only played one game since our Florida trip, and that’s hurt us." LIU, like the Bulls, saw two of their hitters (centerfield Tony Jonas and infielder Bob Daniels) sign with professional clubs last spring. The Bulls must defeat LIU and St. John’s in order to take a giant step toward earning a playoff berth this spring.

Boyer has rejected a “quota system” for tenured faculty, but asked the various SUNY campuses to re-evaluate their tenure-granting policies. A quota system places a ceiling on the percentage of faculty members who can receive tenure in a particular department. The tenure quota system just introduced by the City University of New York (CUNY), where no faculty member, no matter how qualified, can be granted tenure in a department where fifty per cent of the faculty are tenured, has drawn bitter criticism and fed the flames of the tenure controversy Although a large percentage of tenured faculty in a department “may be educationally harmful, it also seems clear that an artificially imposed ceiling cannot be defended,” Dr. Boyer asserted. Such a ceiling on tenure would disregard “inter-departmental and inter-campus differences and may discriminate against unusually gifted nontenured faculty, including women and-minority group members as they become available for employment in large numbers,” Dr. Boyer explained. Be more critical Chancellor Boyer requested that each university be more critical in its granting of tenure to faculty members. Tenure must be extended only to “those who have demonstrated the highest competence and whose future performance can be reasonably expected to be professionally excellent.” He expressed fears that during these times when enrollments in the nation’s colleges and universities have reached a plateau, most of the faculty in many departments will eventually become tenured. A high percentage of tenured faculty in a given department doesn’t necessarily mean that the education of students will be impaired, commented Gil Moore, chairman of the Faculty-Senate. A department with a large amount of tenured teachers doesn’t necessarily have-to be sluggish in educational advancement, he believes: “It would depend upon the individual department and as to how well it could be on the cutting edge of new developments.” But if changes in a particular field were so radical that it required an influx of younger people to simply keep pace, then a high percentage of tenured faculty could pose a threat. In such a situation, however, the University should share some responsibility in the education of faculty members so they don’t fall behind in their field. Dr. Moore said. Similarly. Chancellor Boyer has suggested a program which would prepare faculty members in departments CWPOK^r where student enrollment has declined for reassignment to other, related academic fields. analysis Tenure crunch’ The question of tenure quotas has become a very real problem across the SUNY system. Enrollment on many campuses has levelled off, and as more and more professors become eligible for tenure and fewer and fewer positions are needed, a “tenure crunch” has evolved. Enrollments at this University have not decreased and no such “tenure crunch” has developed here, reported Bernard Gelbaum, vice president for Academic Affairs. This University’s selection of professors for tenure already consists of a “careful review which is carried out in ways to give tenure to only those faculty members who unquestionably deserve it,” Dr. Gelbaum said. Dr. Boyer wants each SUNY campus to clarify its criteria and procedure for making tenure decisions. He Dr. Boyer suggested alleviate future tenure retirement age could be suggested, and the time of its current and projected level of staffing and estimate the relationship between tenured and nontenured faculty during the six-year period between 1974 and 1980. other measures which might problems. The mandatory reduced from 70 to 65, -he period after which tenure is Clifton Yearly, chairman of the History Department at the State University of Buffalo, opposed the idea of lowering mandatory retirement age. “It is possible for a man at the age of 6S or 70 to still be in his prime academically," he explained. Instead, tenured and non-tenured faculty alike should be reviewed periodically to see if they still are performing at a high level of excellence. Dr. Yearly suggested, in terms of teaching effectiveness, overall scholarship and administrative duties. A mandatory quota system doesn’t necessarily have to be wants each State university and 2— Day Care Sym\ Fighting for increased aid Dene Dube Staff Writer Spectrum “Proper formation of the young of one generation will eliminate the necessity of reforming adults of the next generation,” said professor of Psychology Norman Solkoff, citing a quote from Jean Oberlin, which reflected the ideology behind the Early Childhood Day Care Symposium held last Saturday. Celebrating the “Week of the Young Child,” the second annual symposium was sponsored by the UB Day Care Center and the Early Childhood Education Council of Western New York. Across the country, day care for young children has been suffering from a lack of funds since Congress placed a ceiling on Federal day care funds last year. The Child Development Act, which would have opened new programs and allocated more money to day care, was vetoed by President Nixon in 1971. “So little money is spent on children and the development of their minds in this country,” asserted Mary Yaeger, Public Relations person for the UB Day Care Center. She invited sever?! local legislators, hoping to persuade them to vote for more allocations. Sexist reading material Representing the Women’s Action Alliance, Carol Shapiro and Jane Galvin-Lewis presented a slide show depicting sexism in readers used in the younger grades. Surveying the 150 publishing companies of the readers, almost all the stories depicted the mother as a housekeeper. Ms. Lewis explained: “We do not believe there is anything wrong with being a housekeeper. In fact, in many cases, we feel it is an underrated job. However, we feel that the job should be a choice, and not an obligation.” Absurdity A graduate of this University, Ms. Shapiro noted “how absurd it is that children who attend day care centers because both their parents arc working arc educated with materials that stress a mother as someone who stays home to clean and cook. These children begin to feel that there is something wrong with them because their worlds do not correspond to those in the readers.” Ms. LeWis pointed out the readers never show a one-parent family, or a family with a grandparent living in the home. She termed the few pictures showing racial integration inadequate. They merely place a black child in the background “as if he just came over to do his homework while the white family is engaged in some other interaction,” she explained. Ms. Shapiro compared some 1965 Children’s readers with 1972 revisions. Clothing and hairstyles have been updated, but social roles have not been altered. She would like to see readers show all kinds of families, mothers as they really are, and boys and girls playing with each other. She complained that many readers portray girls as “tattletales or someone who dreams and stares out window*;.” Boys arc shown as adventurous and full of fun. Non-sexist toys Ms. Shapiro and Ms. Lewis demonstrated a collection of toys they designed as learning materials for a non-sexist education. These included block figures oe men and women in career uniforms, such as doctors and mail carriers; a black, male doll, and jigsaw puzzles made from photographs instead of the usual artwork. Ms. Shapiro said drawings showed a distortion while photography enabled the child to develop a realistic model his world. Asked whether the male doll 'had genitals, Ms. Shapiro said such dolls usually cost about thirty dollars. “You have to pay for a penis,” she added. \ Replacement Many conference participants expressed —continued on pag* 2— �‘Quota system’ rejected... 1 -* ,uo ““ * —continued from • ' / j'\ " v has become commonplace over the issue of the axing o certain professors. Chancellor Boyer recognizes the need for a he tenure balance” in a time of plateaued growth in h statement. SUNY vice Chancellor for University A fairs, Clifton Thome, thinks that tenured positions will open up in the next decade anyway. Besides the campuses that are still expanding, SUNY expects an increase m th enrollments of students over the age of 30. Quotas unlikely here Chancellor Boyer seems to be trying to hedge away from a quota system like the one which exists in the City University of New York system. Only fifty per cent of faculty in a department may receive tenure, and no matter how qualified a faculty member might be, tenure cannot be granted if that would exceed the prescribed quota. The Administration feels that because enrollments at this University are increasing, it is unlikely that a mandatory quota system will be installed here, but there seems to be some question on other SUNY campuses. At the State University at Albany, the plight of qualified and popular professors who have been forced to leave has Job security sought But Dr. Thorne predicted an eventual increase in the number of controversial tenure cases. “Writing a statement doesn’t change the problems,” he said, “but hopefully this statement will take care of a large portion of the problem.” Predictions on enrollments and the expansion of the University as a whole are too early to make, but he agrees with Chancellor Boyer that tenure will never be abandoned in the SUNY system. He added: “There must be job security. The steelworkers and teachers have it. Why not University professors?” SUNY has closely examined an experiment tried at Union College. The small, Schenectady college had several well-qualified professors with Ivy League degrees and departments, he explained. f 9V applying for tenure. excellent teacher ratings who were Instead, Union gave them five-year renewable contract extensions. But instructors felt they had “little academic hanging over their freedom with renewal of their contract heads." Dr. Thome said that this plan was never seriously considered. The plan was labelled by the American Association of University Professors as the “first step toward complete abolition of tenure. If ten people in a department at this University apply for tenure, all ten could conceivably get it if they were qualified, explained President Robert. Ketter. He continued: “We have some departments that are as high as 80% tenured, but most of them run something around 35 to 50% tenured. We keep an eye on this. There are no guidelines, except the Carnegie Commission report that came out that said: Once you pass the 50% point, you’d better start looking very carefully at the qualifications of the people coming forward. Your future rests on the young guys starting out, and you don t want to make it impossible to bring in a young man.” The State University of New York does not yet seem ready to adopt a plan like the one at Union College, but with the general decrease in student enrollments and the increase in the number of faculty eligible for tenure, SUNY may one day become caught in an inescapable vise. ...... Lawlerfiring: more protests 1“ ’ £- tSZ Without questioning whether this silent system was right or wrong, Dr. Yearly said that if the Administration feels there are too many tenured faculty in a particular department, then fewer professors will be granted tenure in that department. At this University, there isn’t any need to make a special provision to train professors to move to other departments if reduced enrollments in their department necessitated such an action. Dr. Yearly said, Professors who want to can already switch to related ptgi ‘ ' Grad School deadline early '* *n‘* r« V ' - Commencement date of May Due to the 19,> 1974, the deadline dale of the Graduate School for completing degree requirements for the spring semester will be May 1, 1974.

Discussing learning by infants. Dr. Solkoff astounded the audience with data showing that girl infants exceed boys in certain learning tasks; girls respond better to novel stimuli; habituate better at three days of life; and are able to focus on visual stimuli more maturely. “And black babies —continued from exceeded white babies on motor, habituation and most tasks,” Dr. Solkoff said, adding: “{Geneticist Arthur] Jensen failed in his genetic theory because he failed to consider the intra-uterine environment.” Dr. Solkoff stressed that infants are competent organisms, taking in information, processing it, and formulating models of their worlds. “We must provide stimulation as early as possible,” he said. ‘The failure of Head Start and Early Push [early education programs] is that they wait too long to present stimulation and enrichment.” Asked at what age he felt these intervention programs should begin, he said programs in Boston have begun taking children at age one. However, Dr. Solkoff pointed out that where mother and infant are deprived of attachment too early, there is a higher tendency for the mother to “batter” the child later on. Discussing the mother-infant attachment beginning almost at birth, Dr. Solkoff said: “Not only does the mother affect the infant, but the infant’s behavior affects the way the mother acts toward the infant, thereby controlling his environment at this early age.” In a panel discussion with University District Councilman Bill Price and representatives from the offices of Ogden Reid, Arthur Eve, and the National ■■ BBM ■■ ■■■■■■■■■■■■ COUPON ■ ■■e*™*™**™***** MARVINOS PIZZA and SUBS !

Th Fri 2- 4 °' �Alternative schools: opening minds to new, sane concepts Editor’s note: The following wta submitted by Leslie Medine of CAC, a participant in the Alternative Education Committee. The Alternative Education Committee developed from a desire on our part to insure the existence of viable alternative forms of education. As “products” and students of the present educational institutions (public, private and parochial), we see schools far too often as the very organizations that serve to stifle a child’s imagination, curiosity and desire to know and master his or her environment.We fed that schools, as the vehicles of socialization and socio-economic tracking in our society, all too frequently produce angry, frustrated, lonely children/adults who have been denied self-actualization and the development of feelings of self-worth. We believe that other forms of education need to be developed to offer alternatives to the present structure. The Committee was formed in mid-November in response to the interest shown after Jonathan Kozol’s speech at this University. As part of the Community Action Corps (CAC), we developed a working nucleus of 10 community people; graduate students from the Education Administration and Elementary Education Departments, undergraduates, a public school substitute teacher, a high school student, and a teacher from one of the local alternative schools. We have relied heavily on outside resource people who have been able to aid our efforts. In answer to the alternative school’s need for money and resources, we felt that schools .all owr the our energies cohid best be directed toward know What w<' are doing here in Buffalo struggling to survive in a threatening and to find out what’s going on in other antagonistic environment. We spent the cities. There also seems to be a need for next four months gathering information, teachers, parents and kids to share visiting the schools, speaking with parents educational resources and materials. For and teachers and finally organizing a structure in which representatives from the alternative schools could come together to work collectively for the benefit of their students. The school representatives have already assumed total responsibility for developing structures and bylaws so that our role in the coalition is now one of acting as facilitators and resource aides. Because our role in the coalition has changed, we have now started several other projects. We are developing a library of books, magazines and materials dealing with alternatives in education. A list of non-sexist, non-racist and non-agist childrens’ books is being compiled. We are going to “broaden our horizons” by writing to newsletters, magazines and this purpose, we would like to start developing a resource center in Buffalo, It is unfortunate but not accidental that people in power would like to keep us divided and thinking that there are no strong movements towards radical change in this country. It is time we realize that there are thousands of people with various skills working desperately in the field of education to find some sort of sanity and clarity for their children and themselves, The way we see it, the only way well make it is to wori( together. Therefore, we’re reaching out to you with our ideas and open minds.

Mr. Phillips proposed a $.50 admission charge of to the cost cover entertainment. “Admission will be restricted to only those students who current possess a valid any identification from he university,” explained. However, he said, one guest would be allowed per ID card. Cliff Palefsky, former Student Rights coordinator, raised an important question: he informed the committee that a large number of freshemn are legally under age to be served liquor.

More than 50 impeachments were brought to trial in England (where American law has its roots) between the years 1621 and 1787, when the framers of our Constitution began their work. We have had 12 impeachments against public officials, including the one against President Andrew Johnson. Yet despite this long history, few understand the impeachment process. Under the Constitution, the House of Representatives votes to “impeach” or indict a Federal official on charges, and serves as the prosecutor. The Senate sits as the jury. The law states; “The President, Vice President and all civil Officers of the United States, shall be removed from office on Impeachment for, and Conviction of, Treason, Bribery, or other High Crimes and Misdemeanors.” (Article 2; Sec. 4). The sole penalty is removal from office and disqualification from holding any The movement to impeach President Richard Nixon is gaining national momentum. Numerous organizations 1 representing millions of- Americans, as well as various members in the House of Representatives, have been pressing for impeachment. The largest impeachment organization, the National Campaign to Impeach Nixon, comprised of labor, student, antiwar, women, civil rights, professional and leftist groups, spanning 150 cities and 33 states, is sponsoring a “March to Impeach Nixon” in Washington, D.C. on April 27. The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU), which called for the impeachment of Mr. Nixon last October 4, describes the long American tradition of impeachment in a S6-page booklet entitled Why President Richard Nixon Should Be Impeached. During our early colonial days, nearly every state other federal office. constitution provided for the impeachment of public officials, for “mal-administration, corruption... Impeachment for ‘infamy’ misconduct, misdeameanor or default.” Mitchell Franklin, professor at the State University of Buffalo Law School and internationally-known jurist, Straggle against tyranny argues that public officials can be impeached merely by On July 20, 1787, delegates to the Constitutional being “infamous,” a concept based upon Roman law Convention overwhelmingly agreed that the Chief which removes a public official who has lost the respect Executive could be removed by impeachment. and faith of the people.

The ACLU urges people to write their Representative to urge impeachment, to urge their organizations to take a public stand on impeachment, and to help organize groups for impeachment. The National Campaign to Impeach Nixon is calling on people to gather at Lincoln Memorial reflecting pool at 11 a.m., April 26, in Washington, D.C., to march Capitol for a rally. Locally, rides, car pools and possibly buses will be organized to go to Washington. The campaign includes such individuals as Representatives Ron Dellums of California and Bella Abzug of New York, Jane Fonda, Benjamin Spock, Pete Seeger, Tom Hayden and Ramsey Clark, as well as dozens of organizations across the country.

This conflict is epitomized in behavior modification, which utilizes psychological techniques of learning and reinforcement to shape desired behavior. Behavior modifiers feel they can point to a track record of success with patients in mental hospitals, schools and prisons who failed to respond to more traditional kinds of therapy. Raising ethical considerations, however, are the courts which have attempted to define the rights of institutionalized patients and may be on a collision course with the more pragmatic modifiers and others who dislike ‘control’ in any form. Some, however, disagree that science and ethics are necessarily locked in a deadly struggle. “Technology is value-neutral: it’s the goals it’s used for,” says John Lick, professor of Psychology at the State University of Buffalo. He feels that any attempt to influence human behavior through psychological means, such as through traditional psychotherapy, is behavior modification in the broad sense. — — Electric potty chair Behavior modification has many critics in and out of psychology. Some envision its techniques leading to a Big Brother society, claiming that it will be used by government and institutional leaders to discourage dissent, achieve conformity and perpetuate the status quo. Others dislike its methods because they feel it represents coercion; forcing the patient, who is often a captive audience, whether in a prison, mental hospital or classroom, to ‘Value-neutral’ them his behavior. Behavior mod has been defined as change lives, of motivate “It can raise the quality their someone else do your bidding,” explains David everyone "making it’s not a for panacea toward dignity although Lick Rorvik the January 1974 issue ofIntellectualDigest. He in mental added. hospital,’’ Dr. and his brother in a There’s no doubt of the token ecoiiomy’s effectiveness “in complains that behavior modification is becoming big a modern host of behaviors,” said Dr. O’Leary. “With kids, business, as conditioning theories proliferate for everything it’s applicable in from frigidity to impotence to alcoholism to nervous tics. the academic world, adults, psychotics He added; ‘There is even an electric potty chair for accelerated toilet four-year-olds geriatrics.” from to populations ‘There’s no doubt it can change behavior it’s effective in training,” he explains. "And a typical treatment for a man who has, let us say, an ‘unnatural’ attraction to feces is to almost all cases.” Dr. Lick admitted that a token, economy can be show him slides of feces while shocking the hell out of misused “to teach people ethically obnoxious behavior; him. Crude, but supposedly effective, and it doesn’t you can reinforce people to spit on black people.” He require any messy probing of the psyche.” reinforcers for desired behavior, such as making beds. brushing teeth, performing work, etc. These points may be exchanged for primary reinforcers: snacks, movies, extra privileges. “A token economy can be very useful for patients who have suffered the noxious effects of the hospital environment those who don’t comb their hair, and just don’t care,” said Dr. Lick. - - — - Results, not understanding There is no evidence that these methods “are either lasting or of real benefit,” Mr. Rorvik argues, explaining that many who are arbitrarily classified as ‘problem’ ildren are treated with mind- modifying drugs “that Self-determination stressed Changing behavior the client doesn’t want changed. Dr. Lick therefore believes, is a problem in all areas of psychology, education, child-rearing and elsewhere. “I personally place strong emphasis on the individual’s self-determination, as long as his pursuit of goals doesn’t grossly inhibit the behavior of other people;" he said. Criticisms of behavior modification “are as applicable to any other means of treatment where involuntary commitment is concerned,” believes K. Daniel O’Leary, noted behavioral psychologist at the State University at Stony Brook. In many ways, behavior modification is not new. Ordinary people have been using behavior-shaping techniques for centuries, often without realizing it. When a husband grows silent or uncommunicative whenever his wife brings up a certain topic he dislikes, he has utilized negative reinforcement to force her to change her behavior. Gold stare to tokens I know a four-year-old boy who had a little problem: he would often wet his bed during the night. To remedy this delicate dilemma, his mother gave him a gold star for every morning his bed was dry. If he wet it during the night, no gold star. When he had accumulated 20 gold stats (no easy feat), he could trade them in for a toy. With this incentive, he soon mastered his problem. But the gold stars were really tokens to reinforce a desired behavior. Psychologists have taken this crude age-old system of mothers and teachers and have refined and documented it into a science of modifying behavior. Token economies, first devised in mental hospitals, are the classic prototype of behavior modification. In this framework, patients receive tokens or points as secondary Ethics of control emphasized his value-neutral approach: “A token economy is a technology for controlling behavior; it has little to say about the kinds of behavior controlled or the direction encouraged.” Noting that with severely regressed patients, a token economy is “the only motivational system with any success,” Dr. Lick believes the mental patient should have some input. ‘The vast majority of clients wants to achieve the goals. Behavior modification only raises ethical questions when someone objects,” he said. Critics have zeroed in on behavior mod, he feels, while ethical questions arise “whenever you exert control without the consent of the controllee. It’s a 2000-year-old question. Mental patients were drugged for years, put in strait-jackets, locked up: these weren’t behavioral control?” — . . The difficulty of drawing a fine line between effective techniques and morality arises in any social institution where the members are subject to control by “the authorities.” An obvious example is compulsory education. Dr. Lick maintains that our educational system has always been based on behavioral control. Dr. O’Leary agreed: “People don’t realize: the fact that thekids are in school, and have to be there, means there is control.” “Educators traditionally dictate what children should learn, how they should behave without input from the kids,” said Dr. Lick. He stressed that input from children is possible, and a more pleasant atmosphere is achieved “by setting up the learning environment so kids are rewarded for appropriate behavior, not punished for inappropriate behavior.” - Punishment only when necessary Is using punishment against confined patients ethically wrong? Dr, O’Leary responded: “If there’s a means of prompting good behavior through positive reinforcement, fine. But when something like strong aggression gets in the way...there just aren’t enough potent things around the get someone not to be aggressive or self-destructive.” When a patient comes into the hospital with a high frequency of aggression or self-destructiveness, such as hitting his head against the wall, “negative reinforcement may be the only way to get him to stop,” said Dr. O’Leary. Dr. Lick also stresses positive reinforcements, feeling punishment is only justified if there’s no other way to reach the goal and the danger of continuing the behavior is great: “Who would disagree that you should punish your child so he won’t run across the street without looking?” While most token economies emphasize “rewarding positive behavior exchanging tokens for things,” Dr. O’Leary explained, more are now utilizing response-cost: ‘Taking away tokens a patient earned if he assaults another patient or staff member.” It was felt there were Rage six The Spectrum Wednesday, 10 April 1974 dangers of this p&tBeifig animosity in the patient, but recent evidence points to the contrary. “A heavy emphasis on positive reinforcement with some degree of response-cost seems to be most effectiveDr. O’Leary concluded. Petrified midgets? “What kind of behavior shall the teacher reinforce?” becomes the educational version of the mental dilemma. a hospital’s Reinforcing law-and-order atmosphere and conformity may yield petrified midgets. Dr. lick believes, while reinforcing creative responses might be more productive. ‘There’s no doubt a token economy can be misused to foster conformity,” agreed Dr. O’Leary. Teachers, parents, students and society should all have input, believes Dr. Lick: “The best antidote to misuse is to make everyone aware that control is involved in education, and to solicit input from all interested parties.” “The question of who’s to decide? must be addressed not only by teachers and school officials, but by more parents as well,” said Dr. O’Leary. “These value judgments come into very bold perspective with behavior modification.” It’s been clearly shown that behavior modification has great promise for the education of retarded and emotionally disturbed children, Dr. O’Leary explained. But he feels “one avenue that hasn’t been explored as well as it might be” is using behavior intervention in the actual classroom of the normal child. This could prevent many “normal” problems from poor study habits to self-discipline: “it could influence, for example, sex roles that tend to limit the freedom of young girls. One of the most important areas is the use of self-control procedures: teaching someone to record and evaluate his own behavior,” Dr, O’Leary explained. the educational possibilities, Certainly with particularly younger children, are infinite. But one can almost bricd for charges of coercion and the familiar, anti4Mhavi&ist complaint; “But who will �setting than a doctor’s office. Unlike psychoanalysts, who use a battery of techniques but seldom refer to them as technology, applied behavior analysts spend a great deal of time developing, packaging, disseminating and talking about behavioral technology. They have not given up experimentation, but their laboratory is the real world; they still treat individual problems, but they attempt to do it on an increasingly massive scale; and their technology, usable to a large extent by just about anybody, permits them to emphasize prevention rather than cure. In short, they are becoming behavior engineers.” challenge make them more tractable and thus the status quo.-” He continues: “They [behavior modifiers] are not out to change the world but to make man adjust to it; they seek results, not understanding. What the world needs now in the service of ‘curing’ its deviant and miserable masses, proclaim the new psychotechnologists, is not more prison reform, urban renewal and nude group gropes, but a few well-placed kilovolts in the collective brain.” The first token economy was pioneered in the by Teodoro Ayllon and Nathan H. Azrin, who devised a model suitable for clinical work with large groups of disturbed persons as well as with individuals. Their token system is described by Kenneth Goodall in the November 1972 issue of Psychology Today. ‘The engineering feat showed that long-hospitalized and idle pgychotics, when they were properly reinforced, could learn how to care for themselves, do housekeeping chores, and even hold down jobs around the hospital. The trick was to learn which reinforcers worked with which persons one person might spend tokens to sit in a favorite chair, and to find an another to attend religious services the rewards.” effective way to deliver — — - - Ratandpigeon days Like most techniques used by human behavior controllers, the token economy had its origins in animal experiments. It is based on the principle of operant conditioning devised by behaviorist B. F. Skinner: “If a tasty bit of food falls into a Skinner box after a pigeon pecks a button or a rat presses a bar, the pigeon or rat is likely to peck or press again,” writes Dr. Goodall. Skinner has moved from the rat-and-pigeon days to concepts of human behavioral engineering, such as described in Beyond Freedom and Dignity and his visionary society Walden Two. Meanwhile, a new generation of behaviorists, such as Dr. Azrin, a graduate student of Skinner’s at Harvard, have successfully developed behavior modification by applying Skinnerian principles of operant conditioning to humans.Dr. Goodall calls these men the “post-Skinnerians.” He writes: “Its milieu more closely resembles an educational in compulsory classroom do the controlling?” Dr. Goodall grapples with this issue classroom behavior as “getting out of seat, standing up, walking around, running tapping feet, rattling paper, carrying on a conversation with another child, crying, singing, whistling, laughing, turning head or body toward another person, showing objects to another child, and looking at another child.” In contrast, the “model” child, wrote Drs. Winett and Winkler “stays glued to his seat and desk all day, continually l<pks at his teachar or at his text/workbook, does not talk to or In fact look at other children, does not talk unless asked to by the teacher, hopefully does not laugh or sing (or at the wrong time), and assuredly passes silently in the halls.” Maintaining that learning may take place more effectively if “accompanied by singing and laughing and whistling,” and that “a quiet, controlled docile classroom may not only be unnecessary but destructive,” Drs. Winett and Winkler called for “extensive dialogues in our communities on just what kinds of human beings we want our children to grow up to be. Such dialogues would determine what values and behavior we want our schools to transmit and reward.” Schools are a natural testing ground for learning techniques, explained Dr. Goodall, and the combined willingness of funding agencies and school administrators to allow experimentation has led most applied behavior analysts to work there. At the Bryant Elementary School in Kansas City, Kansas, teachers utilize a model conceived by R. Vance Hall, a pioneer developer of behavior-shaping technology for use in public schools. Dr. Goodall outlines the strategy: “One, they select target behaviors that need changing, such as poor attendance, tardiness, or low academic performance; “Two, they keep baseline records to find out how often the unwanted behaviors occur; “Three, they set up experimental conditions during which they record each ‘correct’ behavior and reinforce it with praise (a smile for the student, for example, or a phone call to the parent), with a token (a smiling-face sticker, perhaps, that will buy a lollipop or a crayon) or with the opportunity to do something enjoyable (go to a ball game or work in the school lunchroom, for instance); “Four, they return to baseline conditions (withdrawing the rewards) to find out whether reinforcement was instrumental in increasing correct behavior; and “Finally, they reinstitute the conditions that were successful.” ... “Even children with little love for reading will do a lot of it if their reward to a bunch of tokens that they can trade in later for cookies, pieces of cake, toys or M&Ms. That such a system amounted to bribing a child for doing something he ought to get into the habit of doing was a common charge. It usually came from authoritarian types who were double standard. blind to their own Behavior-therapist Israel Goldiamond once made this comeback: ‘If they stopped paying me for coming to work, this nice ingrained habit I have might quickly vanish.’ The charge is heard less often these days.” Criticizing the behavior modification credo in the classroom as “be still, be quiet, be docile,” Richard A. Winett and Robin C. Winkler of the State University at Stony Brook claim that “inappropriate behavior has been Sonsistently defined as behavior that interferes with quiet and stillness.” They argue - that behavior modifiers are “instruments of the status quo, unquestioning servants of a system which thrives on a petty reign of ‘law and Irder’ to the apparent detriment of the educational process itself.” *Sit still, be quiet’ Becker They quote a 1968 study and Armstrong which classifiq^tvHiWPPfopnate” Society involves control “People don’t seem to realize that all our institutions family, school, church do control behavior,” said Dr. O’Leary. “They influence it in fairly important ways. Like it or not, behavior is controlled; behavior modification documents these influences in fairly specific way.” The director of a behavior modification clinic for children at the State University at Stony Brook, Lr. O’Leary feels the public is basically uninformed about these issues. Many entertain stereotypes, “like Clockwork Orange or Skinner’s Beyond Freedom and Dignity. Some parents come in and ask; ‘How are you going to condition my kid?’ They don’t realize it’s more than just taking him and giving him an M&M.” He added: “It’s out job to be more involved in getting the information to the public.” For the deviant. Dr. O’Leary believes, the question is: How can we help them realize their full potential? For the normal, he says, the public must be told: “This is what’s happening; this is how control works; toward what end should we use that control?” Public knowledge needed Public ignorance and non-input into goals represents “the greatest danger” that behavior modification techniques will be used, asserted Dr. Lick. He suspects there will be increasing legislation restricting the directions in which behavior may be modified. While welcoming certain needed safeguards, he re-emphasized that public knowledge and multiple inputs for affected parties represents the ultimate safeguard. “One of the most desirable aspects of behavior mod is that we can determine if'procedures are having effect if they don’t work, we give up or change them,” said Dr. Lick. “Opponents have focused on the dangers of controlling behavior without consent. These are not to be minimized, but there is an enormous amount of human suffering created by undesirable behavior. Millions want changes regarding alcoholism, drug addiction, sex, fear, anxiety, sleep and delinquency. Institutional remedies have proven largely ineffective. A technology to control behavior cannot only be misused but used humanely, to help these people.” When persons exhibit ‘deviant’ behavior, writes Dr. Goodall, the failure is in the physical and social environment that determines behavior; changing the environment will change the behavior. “If treatment is necessary, the best place to do it in the home or school, not in some artificial or perhaps permanent place of confinement. And the best persons to provide the treatment are parents, teachers, friends not medicine men. Above all,” Dr. Goodall concluded, “the process of changing human lives must be evaluated continually, and it must be accountable to its consumers, the persons who are affected by it and the persons who pay for it.” ; — Wednesday, 10 April 1974 The Spectrum Page seven . . �I KDITORIAL Flexibility, not quotas lOflB h To the Editor: In reference to the recent decision not to fund "Your future rests on the young guys starting out, and all Health Care projects (i.e, The Birth Control you don't want to make it impossible to bring in a young Clinic, Pregnancy Counseling, The Medical Lab, etc.) man. " —President Robert Ketter Quotas are an ugly word. Whether the fixed numbers are in minority hiring, graduate school admissions, or job promotions, quotas imply an inflexible number of slots which will necessarily leave some out in the cold. That quotas have become a bitter controversy in an increasing number of areas is a symptom of the depressed American economy, which has made once-liberal students more law and medical school-minded, and once-progresSive faculty more cautiously job-conscious. Tight budgets, decreasing student enrollments and the subsequent need for fewer faculty positions have all conspired to heighten faculty fears about job security. While the student population at this University is still growing with the expansion to Amherst, faculty hiring is a far cry from the late 1960's, when hundreds of faculty were added in a single year. Now each instructor's job is precarious and each feels the pressure of competing against colleagues for a limited number of tenured positions. Paranoia about tenure quotas was fueled when the City University of New York recently instituted its controversial tenure quota policy, dictating that no instructor, no matter how well qualified, could be granted tenure in a department where 50% of the faculty already had tenure. This has prompted SUNY Chancellor Ernest Boyer's recent rejection of a tenure quota system, although he asked each SUNY campus to "re-evaluate" its tenure-granting policies. 1960's, tenure was granted almost During the automatically to those instructors who survived theif probation years. The result: a large number of departments ,have become "locked in" with aging faculty members who will be around for decades, precluding the possibility of hiring significant numbers of young men. In many fields, a continuing influx of young minds is needed simply to keep pace with rapidly-changing developments. And since "frozen" departments tend to stagnate and decline in quality, tenure quotas such as CUNY's have been advanced as a solution to such suspended animation. On the other hand, tenure is absolutely vital to educational quality. One, it provides needed job security for professional instructors. Two, it creates an incentive because only those clearly superior in research and (hopefully) teaching will gain tenure status, unlike other professions where mere seniority brings security. But most importantly, tenure provides academic freedom. A professor whose job is not on the line can take extreme stands on issues or publish controversial material without having to fear for his job. Unfortunately, the crushing pressure for tenure has had the opposite effect on those who have not yet attained it: they are afraid to disagree or displease their superiors because they could be risking their chance for tenure (the dwindling number of faculty teaching in the Colleges underscores the new fear of controversy). Tenure, so important for the academic freedom of those who have it, has had the opposite effect of stifling the academic freedom of those who are striving for it. Tenure quotas are unacceptable. So are departments overloaded with faculty who are locked in for life. So is lowering the mandatory retirement age, wbjph already prematurely places many men in their academic prime out to pasture. As with minority admissions in graduate schools, any policy which imposes inflexibility on decision-making is regressive and detrimental. Instead of rigid rules and percentages, what is needed is a heightened sensitivity to the fact that a department with more than one-half tenured faculty faces decades of stagnation. Such an "informal" system means that if a department gets too top-heavy with tenure, fewer instructors only those of undisputed excellence in teaching and research will be granted tenure. But this retains the flexibility of making exceptions, and the ability to award tenure to a large number of unusually talented instructors in a single year if warranted. But it means the consideration of every instructor up for tenure will be judiciously balanced against the danger of overloading a department with future i OOO.d* Our student fees with OUR money, we the undersigned feel that this action is a gross intrusion on our individual rights to have comprehensive medical care and determination of OUR money. In a recent student referendum held on this campus, we decided that Health Care was our “number one” priority for the expenditure of OUR student fees. A greater need for students to provide health services for themselves is becoming a necessity, since funds for the University Health Service (presently funded by the state), are in the process of drastically being cut. But there is an even greater issue present; that of: do we have the right to say what is to be done with OUR money, or do only a select group of men in Albany only have that right. (No taxation without representation?) If this decision is upheld, then the services (to you) of such organizations as C.A.C., Student Legal Aid Clinic, WNYPIRG, as well as the ones mentioned above and ones in the planning stage (The Student Pharmacy planned by Sub-Board) will — no longer exist. The State University Board of Trustees will be meeting within the next couple of weeks to finally decide on this matter. It is our obligation to take some kind of affirmative action to allow these services to remain in function. IT WILL BE OUR LOSS, NOT THEIRS. We hope that the students of this University as well as those on all state campuses will take time to write to the State University Board of Trustees in Albany and President Ketter expressing your feelings on this matter. Also there is a petition circulating supporting this position that is imperative for all of us to sign. This petition can be found in the CAC office (220 Norton) if you haven’t signed it yet.

How can health (inclusive of mental and physical well being) be so segregated from the world of the student (cultural, educational, recreational)? Health can no longer be considered a separate entity, apart from one’s life. A person’s health influences and is influenced by all activities a in. However, the issue here is more than one of definition it is one of rights. The student’s right to control the utilization and expenditures of their own funds for their own needs.

Residents arc continually getting lost because there is nothing (e.g., maps, arrows, etc.) to help in finding one’s way around. Also, there is no direct, enclosed way of getting from one building to another on the first floor alone. 6. Finally, there arc virtually no activities scheduled for the North Campus. There is also no good study area within the residence. ‘ The Community/University Coalition Follow-up? can only be obtained from a machine for exorbitant prices.

Thus, he created a I would like to register a number of complaints I have about dorm living in Governor’s Residence on the North Campus1. Transportation The bussing is thoroughly inadequate. One recent morning, the 8:30 bus to Main Campus was too crowded, causing several people to wait until 9:00 to get a Main bus. That evening, the bus leaving Diefcndorf Annex for Governor’s was 15 minutes late and, again, too crowded to allow everyone on, causing yet further delays and inconveniences. Also, buses tend to leave before scheduled departure. 2. Campus and coin phones are scarce.

Students arc part of the community and should have had easier access to the conference. Perhaps the conference would have been more of a success by it being held, let us say, at Clark Hall, not at $10.00 per person for a hundred and fifty persons, but at $1.20 per person for 1250 persons, or less per person with SA funding. I’m sure Bucky would not have objected, he is used to giving lectures at two-and-a-half day intervals for university gatherings, etc. of 1500-2000 persons at a shot. Bucky stated early in his lecture that “communication” of holistic perspective will be the key to the success of educational systems in the future. I definitely believe that this ideology should be applied here and now.

COALITION The night of March 1, 1974 marked the opening of the two-day Western New York Educational Council’s Conference on “Emerging Futures in Education,” at the Buffalo Statler" Hilton. The first speaker was the world renowned futurist-designer, R. Blicknunster Fuller. He for an hour and a half on the need'to gear educational systems to refrain emphasizing specialized fractionated, from information learning and promote learning, through various .means of communication, 'of holistic, genCralistic perspectives. The need to look at the world through the perspective of a child, the desire to coordinate total information fields, is apparent when the goals and the actualities of the conference are studied. The basic goal of the conference was to better inform participants in a number of the’most critical issues facing schools in the emerging'future. The “participants" were roughly numbered at a hundred persons that could afford and were willing to pay $10.00 for a dinner and $10.00 for the conference, and a liberally.jestimated fifty persons that paid the $10.00 for the conference alone.

Ke tierfighting negative ruling on health care John Leach “The present regulations list the permissible categories for expenditures of the compulsory student fees. I could not seriously argue that the suggested ‘health care' project fits any such use,” Mr. Leach maintained in a letter to Dr. Ketter. Mr. Leach was interpreting Dr. Relihan's legal opinion, which consisted of legalistic language open to several ways of interpretation, according to Dr. Ketter. On the issue of whether student fees could be used for health services, Dr. Relihan stated: “Health services do not fall within the explicit terms” of the mandatory fee guidelines. “However,” he added, “a liberal interpretations of the [guidelines’] words ‘other sludent services'might well include health services,” by Gary Cohn Campus Editor Acting on a legal opinion from Albany President Robert Ketter decided Friday that mandatory student fees may no longer be used for health care services, but said that he will ask the SUNY Board ofTrustees to change the fee guidelines to permit expenditures for these services. Dr. Ketter was optimistic that “pressure can be brought to bear” on the Board ofTrustees “to make themrealize the importance” of health care, but cautioned that the decision “could go either way.” The trustees meeting is slated for later this month, but until that time arrangements have been made to allow Sub-Board’s Birth Control Clinic and medical laboratory to ( continue services. Clinic continue will operating on an The Birth Control does not (which account” income-generating “revolving while the fees), student mandatory subsidies from receive and funded the by operated be medical laboratory will fee student mandatory Medical until the School University’s explained. been Ketter Dr. has resolved. issue , Kctter cites die law Dr. Ketter’s decision was announced at a meeting with student government officials Friday afternoon in which the University President cited a legal opinion from State University ofNew York (SUNY) counsel Walter Relihan and an interpretation of that opinion from University Counsel ... ‘Presidential discretion’ Dr. Relihan then indicated that if he “had to choose between the two positions, in the manner of a judge,” he would “clearly vote for a decision excluding health care as a permissable use under the resolution.” He added: “I’m only required to say that the opposite conclusion seems unconvincing, but not beyond the pale of presidential discretion.” Asked why he did not choose to exercise this “presidential discretion” and allow student fees to be used for the health care services. Dr. Ketter explained: “Dr. Relihan went so far as to indicate that should anything result from it [using student fees for health care], he will not stand behind it.” This was essentially the problem. Dr. Ketter reiterated. Mr. Leach also warned Dr, Ketter about the "financial liability of both the University and the Student Association (SA) for damages resulting from the side effects of the use of certain drugs or products which have been prescribed on an elective basis.” Planned Parenthood sued For instance, stated Mr. Leach, "a number of well-intentioned agencies, among them the local planned parenthood groups, have found themselves named as defendants in litigated cases where substantial damages were alleged to have resulted from similar elective programs." He added: “Both the University and the Student Association could be liable financially, and it might well be that the liability of this kind could completely destroy the treasury of a student association." To protect the SA from partial financial liability. Dr. Ketter has approved the expenditure of student fees fro malpractice insurance. The malpractice insurance is a “protective device,” explained Dr. Ketter. but if does not remove all financial liability from the student-run health services. He added that he was “sticking my neck way out” by approving the expenditure.

Perry Shustack was elected Executive vice president for IRCB, Inc.. Richard Cohen was elected treasurer and Perry Shuslack emerged as the new Executive vice president for IRC Businesses. Inc. (IRCB). and Jim Smith was cho-en to be the new vice president for Activities Planning. The 7-day election campaign was low-key, and in the words of one IRC Election Committee member, “characterized by many qualified candidates conducting themselves in a responsible, down to business manner.” Because the final vote was 970 out of a possible 2200, Elections Committee chairman Jess Rainer termed the election “an excellent indicator of student support and concern for the future of the Intcr-Residence Council.” It was an exciting Presidential race with Leigh Weber,. a resident of the North Campus, pitted against Jim Rose, a resident of the South Campus. Some candidates had feared that each Presidential candidate would receive all his votes from his own campus, producing a winner with no broad base of support. But Mr. Weber did well on both campuses, receiving SOI votes to Mr. Rose’s 355. Initiatives Mr. Weber has had extensive experience in IRC during the past year, especially in the areas of Busing and Food Service, and is optimistic about the year ahead. ‘This coming year IRC will take the initiative in those areas that are of concern to the dorm residents. We will be an active, not a reactive Organization, and will insure that what was in my platform becomes reality,” declared Mr. Weber after the election results were announced. As chairman of the Board and policy leader of IRCB, which operates the grocery stores, travel bureau, and refrigerator and bicycle rentals. Mr. Shustack discussed the importance of his position. “IRCB has one of'the most important functions as the division of IRC which provides services which arc so important to dorm students,” Mr. Shustack stressed at a post-election interview. He added: “I intend to get right to work, immediately revamping the dormant bicycle rentals and planning for the opening of a third store and the expansions of other IRCB services to the North Campus as soon as it is humanly possible.” Mr. Shustack anticipates a “great year” for the IRC and a good working relationship with the other elected officers even though they were from the opposition party. “We all know that we must work together in order for the IRC to realize its full potential,” explained Mr. Shustack. New Paltz students emerge victorious by Connie Hutchinson Spectrum Staff Writer A week-long student occupation of the administration building at the State University College at New Paltz ended last week when several of their demands were met and a greater student voice in educational policy was granted. “The students left in ‘good faith',” said a spokesman for an the United Front for Education Freedom. “They will return if the administration doesn’t follow up,” he added. The occupation was prompted by the student termination of New Paltz’s experimental studies program. Students were also concerned about the firing of three female faculty members and the refusal to rehire Professor Chakravaty, a 73-year-old teacher who has passed the mandatory retirement age. In addition, the students wanted a voice in determining whether faculty should receive tenure, and a role in determining educational goals on a one-to-one basis with the faculty organizing group - and administration. The sit-in was “well-organized, and the students were extremely well-behaved, anfl 1 mean this sincerely,” said Ed Shannon, director of Security on the New Paltz campus. The students had a security system within their own ranks, and because the sit-in was well under control, there was no vandalism. New Paltz Security played only an overseeing, role in the occupation and “everybody was working with a good degree of genuineness,” Mr. Shannon added. The Administration at New Paltz, headed by President Stanley K. Coffman Jr., is neither a conservative or reactionary, Mr. Shannon explained; “I would say it lies somewhere in the gray area between conservative and liberal,” Concessions The Administration’s main concerns during the sit-in were to impress upon the students that some of the problems were beyond their control, and that everyone has to learn to live with budget cuts. In a letter distributed to the 8,000 New Paltz students, Dr. Coffman agreed to support the formation of two new committees dealing with faculty tenure and educational goals. It is not likely, however, that the students would be represented on a one-to-one basis with Administration and faculty members. The Administration has already re-instated Professor Chakravaty, and Dr. Coffman also reassured the students that he supported the experimental studies program. mm mm mm \ ■■■■■■■■■■■■ coupon ■ JSU effort Kosherfo — JSU office' several years ago and No substitutes was revived at its first meeting this group is seeking space to The year. “use as is,” without expensive Ms. Aber has been trying to get “rehabilitation.” To complicate approval to use one of Ellicott’s matters, estimates vary on how many students might actually kitchen-lounge areas for the participate.

Prof terminated by Gelhaum with no explanations by Gary Cohn Campus Editor Philosophy professor James Lawler will not be reappointed when his contract expires despite strong recommendations from students and the official endorsement of the Philosophy Department and the Faculty of Social Sciences. Academic affairs vice-president Gelbaum may not have seen “as Bernard Gelbaum’s decision not to much promise in Dr. Lawler’s renew Dr. Lawler’s contract came surprise because the as a controversial philosophy professor who was a member of the Fatuity 45 arrested during the 1970 student demonstrations had received approval for reappointment from a range of — — University sectors. Philosophy department faculty, department chairman Peter Hare, the personnel committee of the Faculty ofSocial Sciences, and the acting Provost of Social Sciences, Arthur Butler were among those in favor of Dr. Lawler’s reappointment. Appeal to Ketter Dr. Lawler intends to appeal Dr. Gelbaum’s ruling under the new University guidelines which allow a faculty member denied reappointment to have an advocate argue his case. Dr. Gelbaum explained that the appeal would be made to University President Robert Ketter. However, Dr. Gelbaum refused to discuss the reasons why Dr. Lawler would not be reappointed, saying that “personnel matters are generally treated with great confidence and not discussed in the public press.” Asked ifterminating an instructor who had been recommended for reappointment by his department and Faculty was unusual, Dr. Gelbaum said that while ft was relatively infrequent, “it occurs when it has to occur.” Teaching v. research Both Dr. Butler and Dr. Hare agreed that Dr. Lawler’s teaching record is a good one, although Dr. Butler did say that Dr. Lawler was not an outstanding teacher. They have speculated that Dr. Gelbaum’s decision may be based on Dr. Lawler’s research. Questions were raised about Dr. Lawler’s “research .productivity and activity,” Dr. Hare explained. Dr. Butler added that Dr research” as did the Social Sciences personnel committee. Dr. Lawler’s book will be published in the next year or two, and he has a number of publications in the process of being completed. Dr. Lawler’s good teaching record and his research promise warranted a two-year “look-see period,” Dr. Butler concluded. Dr. Lawler reported that Dr. Gelbaum did not tell him why his contract was not being renewed. He said that Dr. Gelbaum’s decision came as a surprise because Dr. Butler had told him that he “didn’t see any problems.” Full-scale review? He said it was “highly improbable” that Dr. Gelbaum’s office had completely reviewed his work, because they only had his file for about one week and did not request additional information. Dr. Lawler said that the “usual procedure vyas to demand more and more information” about a candidate for reappointment or tenure. “Certain questions do enter into my mind about why this was done,” Dr. Lawler maintained. Those questions involve both his activities and his political philosophical point of view, he said. 1970 student During the demonstrations, Dr. Lawler was afrested as a member of the Hayes Faculty 45. At that time, William Baumer, testified against the arrested faculty members. Dr. Baumer is currently assistant vice-president for Academic Affairs. Dr. Lawler has continued to be active, fighting against possible tuition raises and working for faculty rights.

Dr. Lawler is a Marxist philosopher, “little by little, getting rid of people who represent the Marxist viewpoint" will put the University “back with the dinosaurs," Dr. Lawler charged, However, Dr. Lawler believes that faculty and student rights are the main issue involved in Dr. Negative ruling... and educational enrichment, recreational and social activities, and tutorial activities. These programs must be organized for “the benefit of the campus community.” “It’s obvious that the guidelines include health care,” Student Association President Frank Jackalone said in protesting the legal opinion from Albany. Mr. Jackalone sent a letter to the Board of Trustees Friday, co-signed by the five otherUniversity student government presidents, asking for a change in the fee guidelines. “We request that consideration be given to changing or re-interpreting the mandatory student fee guidelines, permitting the expenditure of some portion of these fees to provide a wider range of student health care services,” the six student presidents wrote. Pointing out that the “present student health care program is not comprehensive enough to meet the needs of twenty-three thousand students,” the student presidents detailed the current and future student-financed health care programs. These programs include: a blood testing laboratory, a pharmacy; a dental clinic; pregnancy counseling service;a University-wide blood assurance program; a speakers program, a health insurance program; and a community ambulance service. The programs are run in conjuction with the appropriate supervision. For instance, the dental clinic would be operated in conjunction with the School of Dentistry and the blood testing laboratory in conjunction with the Department of Medical Technology. If the Board of Trustees refuse to change or re-interpret the mandatory fee guidelines to allow for student-financed health care. Dr. Ketter said he will explore alternative menhods of funding the much-needed health services. One possibility is to have the Faculty-Student Association (FSA) operate the health care services. Dr. Ketter had asked Dr. Relihan whether FSA could legally “engage in the selling of birth control devices, pharmaceutics, etc.?” Dr. Relihan replied that “nothing in the Guidelines or proposed contract would prevent the sale of birth control devices or pharmaceutics.” However, Dr. Relihan cautioned; “The provisions of the Education Law governing the licensing of pharmacies and the dispensing of birthcontrol devices must be consulted,” adding that “well probably need more more facts to advise you specifically.” Lorenzetti veto The .health care controversy arose in February existentialist philosophy,” asserted a frustrated studnet who had taken Dr. Lawler’s existentialism course, adding that Dr. Lawler was “very brillant.” —continued from page 1— when expenditures by Sub Boards Birth Control Clinic were vetoed by Anthony Lorenzetti, associate vice-president for Student Affairs. Dr. Lorenzetti’s action unleashed a flood of protests from students and Sub Board officials;raised the issue of whether student fees can be spent for health care; and prompted President Ketter to seek clarification of the fee guidelines from SUNY counsel Walter Relihan. Sub-Board Business Manager Lester Goldstein asked why the Administration waited until Sub-Board had spent approximately $12,000 on health care ventures before vetoing further expenditures and questioning the legality of using student fees for this purpose. “The Birth Control Clinic was no secret, they knew what we were doing.,.. why did they wait so In response. Dr. long?” Mr. Goldstein asked. Ketter maintained: “1 wasn’t aware Sub-Board had spent 412,000 on health until they came to me in a panic situation.” Legal aid involved? Asked if the health care issue could effect the vise of mandatory student fees for other issues such as the Legal Aid Clinic Dr. Ketter said: “I’m staying away from that question unless it’s forced on me. Health care was forced on me.” In his legal opinion, Dr. Relihan compared the health care issue to a similar situation involving intercollegiate athletics. Because the state could not afford to fund the intercollegiate athletic programs, a provision was added to the mandatory student fee guidelines enabling student fees to provide the needed funding for varsity sports. A similar provision could be added to the guidelines by the Board of Trustees to cover health care services. — - ' The issue is ripe “If this policy judgment is ripe for consideration, the trustees will need to consider whether health care, like intercollegiate athletics, should be the province of student government budget makers using the process of the mandatory student fee collections,” Dr. Relihan wrote in his legal opinion. He then added: “I think the question answers itself.” Whatever decision the Board of Trustees reach, that decision will have far-reaching implications, affecting health care programs on campuses across the state. A number of other SUNY colleges currently have student-funded health care programs and unless the fee guidelines are amended, those services may soon be dismantled. 1974 j Th« Sptctrvm Pig* �fc-r legisla completely : do so on many vote by Richard Deep Spectrum Staff Writ& the ' due Senator James State Another bill, sponsors by Hard!, Chester would State Assemblyman and McFarland opposing bilb' y.

While the campaign to abolish or regular these fees has not received widespread support by lawmakers, the passage of any one of those biHs would have adverse effect on campus athletic programs, activities, student newspapers, journals and yearbooks. The. bills span a broad spectrum in severity. One, co-sponsored by Republican Senator Owen Johnson and Republican Assemblyman Louis Ingrassia, prohibits use of student fees to promote political activities and public interest lobbying groups. The bill allows for student government groups like the Student Association of the State University (SASU) to continue representing the educational concerns of the students, but would prohibit funding of groups like the campus Public Interest Research Group (P1RGV , Some bills devastating An example of a much more devasting bill is one sponsored by Legislators Schermerhom, Marchi, Griffin and Brown.

Both sides now the - Straight facts “We don’t give a sell story about how drugs are nasty and illegal,” said Mr. Bulbis. “We just give the facts and let them draw their own conclusions.” “They can’t be too scientific, but they have to be factual,” said Or. Klingman. The group gets into the scientific explanations only when the audience requests them to do so. The group’s lecture deals with several main topics. The first involves over-the-counter drugs (drugs bought in a' pharmacy from a physician’s prescription), and it stresses the importance of strictly following the doctor’s orders. When these dver-the-counter drugs are used for purposes other than the doctor intended,' this is a form of drug abuse. Another topic concerns the oft-abused “street drugs.” Although the' group will supply the statistics and pharmacological effects of drug abuse, it doesn’t feel that it mM is employing a “scare technique*' to discourage drug use. “We just want to put the facts on the table,” said Dr. Klingman. Spectrum Staff Writer local school children, their teachers, and their parents about drugs. Working with children ranging from elementary to high school age, they will speak at any school requesting their services. The five students are Howie Reich, Rich Bulbis, Sue Schimpf McHugh, Steve Turkovich, and Bill Schlag. The program is directed by Cerda I. Klingman, professor of Biochemical Pharmacology, who describes herself as the “faculty advisor, teacher, tutor, and booking agent.” Dr. Klingman doesn’t appear with the group when they arc giving their lectures. She has complete confidence that the undergraduates are knowledgeable enough to handle themselves without her presence. The program is not trying to discourage drug abuse per sc, but rather to teach people the true facts about various drugs. m group will examine both sides of drug use. They won’t try to give the impression that anyone who takes a drug will be killing himself or screwing up the rest of his life. They just want to promote awareness, by making the people fully understand the implications of drug use and abuse. “I feel that it is important for the person to know about the drug they are using,” said Ms. McHugh. ‘Then, if they use the drug, they know what they’re getting into.” She explained many people think they arc buying pure THC (tetrahydrocannabinol, the active ingredient in marijuana), but according to the drug laboratories, “there is none on the streets.” What those who think they are buying THC are actually getting is some kind of “animal tranquilizer,” she said. The group’s leetures will take the form of informal, almost “two-way conversation,” in which the audience participates and asks questions. According to the group, the younger kids ask more questions, perhaps because they are less inhibited andL don’t have to worry about peer group mockery. The group also said questions of a personal or family-related nature are made impersonal when the questioner begins with, “1 have a friend ..or “My neighbor ...’’ The Drug Education Program is a community service, but Dr. Klingman doesn’t see this as the main objective: “My first interest is in pharmacology, and teaching my students about the drugs and how to talk to people about them,” she said. ‘The community service is a by-product of the education.” Ms. McHugh has a slightly different opinion: “I want to give people the benefit of a good drug education.” She added; “Something I never had.” There have been only positive reactions • to the group by the community, according to Dr. Klingman. One teacher.wrote to Dr. Klingman after the group appeared at her school: “You must be very pleased to have (these] students. They are charming people best of all, they did a superlative job of drag education.” The letter also said: “It is no easy task to come into a - school 'cokT and establish a rapport with children ranging in age from 9 to 18 years. This was done by Bill and his friends, and they deserve commendation.” Cute kids More interesting than the letter from the teachers were the letters from some of the children. One sixth-grader wrote: “We epjoyed your students coming to our school and talking to us about drags. To tell you the truth, I didn't have any questions to ask, because they answered all of them for me. I think drugs are very Home for the holidays Easter and.Passover. No penalty asked This University is the only University Center without recess during Easter-Passover, Mr. Kade said. Mr. Dremuk questions the legitimacy of this report. He also said that if a student at this University misses which were more informal. One wrote; “When I grow up, I want to,be a narcotic agent, or someone who does away with dangerous and harmful drugs. I'm never going to take drugs I don’t need. I think bad drugs arc bad and I never want to get into them.” Another sixth-grade boy said: “Hi! I liked your performance. After your telling us about drugs, 1 don't wany any alcohol or coffee. I liked the .way you answered the questions with ease." Reactions to the Drug Education Program have been extremely favorable, it will undoubtedly continue to and provide a community. valuable service to the ‘I Am a Woman State Universities due for a possible change in calendar A possible revision of the academic calendar which would change the spring vacation from the third week of March to the week coinciding with Easter and Passover will be considered by the University Calendar Committee on Thursday. Committee undergraduate Paul Kade favors the plan, arguing that students would appreciate a vacation during a time when it is traditional for families to get together. Mr. Kade added that some of the other State colleges and many private schools schedule their spring break during the Easter-Passover period. Because this University does not, many students miss the chance of seeing friends during vacation. Some committee members felt that the change would conflict with the committee’s policy of not favoring any religion. Admissions and Records director Richard Dremuk argues that other religions may demand, and rightfully so, time off for their own holidays. Mr. Kade countered that during Easter-Passover,"it is more traditional for students to be at home than any other holiday in any other religion. Mr. Dremuk claimed that Easter and Passover are often spread apart on the calendar. In 1970, for example, there were 23 days between interesting. I really think that some day I could leam about drug abuse as well as you can. In fact, I’d like to leam about drugs more than some other things such as math, spelling, language, and also social studies.” Several other sixth-graders wrote letters In connection with the Office of Cultural Affairs, the Theatre department and the UUAB Drama Committee present Viveca Lindfors in I Am a Woman. The play will be staged at 8:30 p.m.. Monday April 8, in the Hardman Theatre. Tickets are available, although there is no charge for admission. a few days of class, he generally doesn’t fall too far behind. University President Robert Ketter has instructed professors not to penalize students who take off during Easter, Passover, or the Jewish High Holy Days during September and October. He did not include other holidays or religions on that list. Another stumbling block to the committee’s .decision stems from Albany. SUNY Central is developing what they term a “master calendar” for nearly all the schools in the SUNY system. This would mean that this University would have the same vacation dates as all the other State campuses. (The community colleges would be exempt from this plan, because of their tri-semester basis.) Albany doesn’t expect to have its Master Calendar ready until at least the 1975-76 school year. The decision made Thursday will affect the next two years. The committee also has to worry about the precedent they will be setting. Should the committee decide to pass the Easter-Passover resolution, all four of the University Centers in the system (Buffalo, Albany, Binghamton and Stony Brook) will schedule vacation during Easter. This should put pressure on Albany to include this in its Master Calendar. Mr. Kade has been told by the committee that he must demonstrate that the students want this change in the calendar. With the help of the SA's Alan Gilman, who is distributing a petition to the committee,, there is optimism that the Easter-Passover vacation will pass. If it doesn't, the subject is closed for two more years. Monday, 8 April 1974 The Spectrum Page five . . �m TAXcS- wen- i UOUI bSUNYI „.uennes to .o amet.w student a expenditures. >.S. Constitution, the fee guidelines are so permitting expenses for social, educational, ji or cultural purposes that they can be «ed in any way one wishes. Health care is obviously jn educational enterprise for participating students and jcial service which most students could not otherwise .rford. Even Dr. Retihan conceded that "a liberal interpretation" of the fee guidelines "might well include health services," and that such a conclusion was "not beyond the pale of presidential discretion." While Dr. Ketter could use that discretion to allow student-funded health services to continue, the negative ruling from Albany places him on shaky legal ground: As Dr. Ketter's own legal counsel warned, this University and SA would be financially liable in a community lawsuit against health care or the Birth Control Clinic, which would wipe and Albany would not stand out the student treasury behind him. Therefore, Dr. Ketter will try to convince the Board of Trustees that health care is a vital and necessary use for student fees. Dr. better's commitment to health care on this campus cannot be questioned. Although it is regrettable that his Administration waited to veto expenditures until Sub-Board had already spent $12,000 on health ventures. Dr. Ketter has allowed the Birth Control Clinic to continue, has signed for malpractice insurance, and has refused to cancel health services all in the face of a negative legal ruling from Albany. The crime is that although the State has failed to provide adequate funds for student health care, and although students at this University have overwhelmingly indicated that they want their fees spent on health care (the $67 fee, after alt, comes out of their pockets), a legalistic ruling from Albany threatens to thwart student desires and leave this campus with no health services at all. Students are being taxed without being allowed the slightest input into how their money is spent. When the State decided in 1970 that it would no longer fund intercollegiate athletics, the Board of Trustees amended the fee guidelines to allow student fees to fund varsity sports as an exception. A similar situation exists in health care: the State has refused to pay for it, and it has refused to let students pay for it. This is completely and totally unfair. On behalf of the thousands across the state who desperately need these services, we strongly urge the Board of Trustees to amend the mandatory fee guidelines to permit students to spend their fees on an extremely worthy cause: their own health.

We, the undersigned candidates in the recent feel that The Spectrum's coverage of that event was inadequate and biased. The article of Wednesday, April 3, on the candidates for IRC President was, to say the least, imbalanced. In general, the lack of attention paid to the candidates for other positions was to the benefit of no one, and was especially ' detrimental to the independent candidates, whose views were not necessarily reflected anywhere in the article. Any post-election interest on the part of The Spectrum will have done nothing to aid the voters in making an .intelligent choice, and The Spectrum has thus shirked its responsibility to its readers. We feel that an election which is of major importance to such a large segment of the University community deserves more adequate coverage on the part of the campus newspapers. We sincerely' hope that in the future, this significant portion of the student body will no longer be neglected. IRC elections, James M.

The Philosophy Department has endorsed him for re-appointment. The department chairman has backed him. The Faculty of Social Sciences and its provost have recommended him. Nevertheless, by unilateral decree, vice-president for Academic Affairs Bernard Gelbaum has terminated Dr. Lawler's contract. The reason? Dr. Lawler did not receive so much as an explanation. While we have often criticized Dr. Gelbaum's insensitive way of dealing with people, it is a violation of human decency to fire a professor without even telling him the reasons why. This is not unusual; several other instructors in recent years have been canned without an explanation. In light of the fact that he was recommended by his department, chairman and Faculty, this can only suggest that Dr. Lawler, a Marxist philosopher and outspoken political activist, was terminated for political reasons. Every instructor fired by this University deserves at least a private, if not public, explanation. A more "open" Administration would achieve far better results than from its present secretive, no-comment method of dealing with people. Dr. Lawler is appealing his termination. If he is not reinstated, we demand a public, explanation as to why a respected professor recommended by every other segment of the University is being dismissed. JSi&: : SWfl&iS#&JS9 No trailblazer To the Editor. — all you really want is for me to live up to your expectations. SITUATION A: Late last year a man walked the Buffalo Women’s Center to offer his “friendship” to “our cause.” I explained the Center’s feelings and reasons for not relating to men, at which he was quite offended. Why? “Because all I want to do is be your friend.” When asked how he defined “friend,” he stated that a friend is someone who helps you out when you need it. I told him that the only way he could chip us out would be to leave us alone. He said he would, but then couldn’t support us. Why? Because we weren’t living up to his expectations. Who’re you trying to kid, man, you’re no friend. SITUATION B: All your life your parents tell you “all we want is for you to be happy.” You happen to violate one of the values your family holds sacred while pursuing your happiness. Your parents withdraw all love, communication, and ties of kinship. Who’re you trying to kid, morn and dad into SITUATION C: The Colleges have a new dean considers himself a proponent of radical alternative education. In fact, he’s done some writing about his ideas which, to anyone intimately familiar with College E, clearly shows that College E is the practical application of his theoretical philosophizing. At the same time, he’s a self-confessed career builder who finds it embarrassing (?) or untidy (?) to deal with the ramifications of our being a radical unit relating to a bureaucratic institution. Theoretically, he should resist bureaucratic pressures that attempt to impose “tradition” on an “alternative.” In reality, he has done the reverse. The irony is that we have lived up to his theoretical expectations. Who’re you trying to kid, Irv, you’re no trailblazer for radical alternative education!! who Rose Roberts College E �mi f’w' iMf ‘V , ■' -XW'ji'.v ,‘fi £ I bought myself a hat a while back. A cosmetic hat with no pretensions to usefulness, a large brown leather hat to match the which had'to be a gift because it is so large brown leather coat hard for me to spend moftey on myself. So after walking around, thinking about it for a while, I went back to the store where 1 had seen this hat and bought it. It cost an absurd amount of money, but what the hell, I was on vacation. The hat then got rained on, along with everything else in the area, but it seemed to survive that. It seems to have survived much less well its latest trauma. I wore it to a party. On arrival it seemed appropriate to put it upstairs, out of the way, off to the side somewhere. I couldnjt find it when it was time to leave. Eventually did. It was lying on its side on the bottom of a chair, with about ten coats on top of it, very, very, badly crushed. Which made me have some feelings. First of all I was angry. Flat out thoroughly pissed. The initial response to such a trauma is to pull bsck down to some cave in the beidrock of my- psyche and vow'never again to trust people. I run aroynt} the cave for a longist time yelling loudly about the fact that most people are irresponsible cretins, who are to be relied on for nothing unless one wishes to get fucked over. A secondary development involves a series of rationalizations. These ipclude such old standby’s as; “It’s your fault for not taking better care of your things, you should have put it in the closet where nobody would have noticed it!” andr“Well, even if itis true that most of the world is a bunch of irresponsible louts, you still have to live in that world, with them. So you have just have to deal yourself.” And finally, “If you just didn’t get with it so attached to things, it wouldn’t be so bad.” It is this last one that seems to be the hooker for me, and the one around which a great deal of my relationships with the world seem to center. A while back I had a tape recorder stolen. Since then some nice people gave me another just like it for my birthday. But I find I Ijave trouble taking it out of the house. Part of this seems to be overly active paranoia, to be sure. But other of it seems to be emotional. If the second one got stolen, it seems possible that the traum would be additive. Which would be crazy on my part, I do not venture to deny that. But which is also an emotional reality. I do not take well to affluence. It occurs to me as I write this that one reason for not growing up and going out into the great world is the fact that I might make at doing what I want to do, and it would have to be spent! Shudder. Which is only partially in jest. I have a rather primary head which operates on a basic suspicion that almost everything is way overpriced in terms of its intrinsic value. The only new pieces of furniture I was ever responsible for the purchase of were a king-size bed which my then wife had to nudge me into, and a water bed. (Which may or may not tell you something about where my head is.) This affluence-phobia seems to have roots y, in two different places. One involves the ||a above-mentioned suspicion that money is a thing to be treated with respect and held onto for periods of drought. (Same thing as a rainy day, but different.) The other is the more pathological piece which has to do with leaving yourself vulnerable. My suspicion is by Stone that the craziness goes approximately thusly: Because you are basically not a good person, if you go around buying things for yourself, the fates will punish you. Which in fact can happen around here if you forget to think paranoid. At this point, things seem to become rather confusing for me. On the one hand, it seems reasonable to suspect that I am somewhat mad. Which I can live with. Especially when it seems to me to be somewhat unclear as to what getting rid of my craziness will do for me. Suppose I cure my neurosis, and start to buy things for myself, and they get ripped off? What do I do the realistic part of my head which observes it seems to me with at least reasonable accuracy that the world is not wholly a trustworthy place, and it will if given a chance, eat tape recorders, hats, and occasional persons who do not watch themselves? The cruncher being that I can/do get attached to things. I liked my hat. I still wear it, but it is a somewhat different feeling when I pick it up to put it on. There is a clear feeling of having been through the wars together and of “Right! This is what happens when you trust people to be responsible.” Which probably is not absolutely good for me. I have enough trouble letting myself get close to people and trust them anyway. The presence of additional ammunition for justifying my rationalizations is helpful in a not altogether useful way. At least to those other parts of my head that would just as soon that I accepted how important people are to me and learned how to live with it. One problem with being a human being who behaves like an ostrich, you keep getting things stuck in your eye. Speaking of ostriches, what do you do with an elephant with three balls? Walk him and pitch to the giraffe, you ninny, and welcome to baseball season. • *£li : ?;£$» - grump CONTROL!' Reconsider on Dr. Lawler To the Editor. It is distressing and exacerbating enough when the executors of democracy within our country flout the responsibility of democracy. When this responsibility is flouted within the academy, the situation of discontent becomes even more sobering. Such a high disregard for thfc democratic process occurred this week, when Vice-President Gelbaum unilaterally denied the renewal of a contract to Dr. James M. Lawler, assistant professor, in the Department of Philsophy. Both the Philosophy Faculty and the Faculty of Social Sciences approved Dr. Lawler's contract renewal., Vice-President Gelbaum offered no explanation for his inequitable action. We, the undersigned graduate students in M.A. and Ph.D. programs at SUNYAB are currently ■ . enrolled in an interdisciplinary seminar with Dr. Lawler. We would like to attest to his academic character and scholarly presentation throughout our course work with him.

His only reason On March 6, 1974, a guest lecturer took over economics 182 class, 11:00-11:50 a m., because Dr. Michael Hartley was called away for some unknown reason. Forgetting to identify himself, he began to lecture, pausing occasionally to ask for quiet, for a few students were talking among themselves. After IS minutes, he observed a student reading a book (out of a class of ISO) and told him to leave the room. This student was bothering no one, making no noise or commotion, and generally not paying attention to his lecture. I feel this University is in a sad state if it feels it must retain instructors of this caliber, instructors who get upsdt enough to deny a student his right Jo attend a lecture simply because he failed to give his for his action was that the student disturbed him by full and undivided attention to a lecturer who was undeniably boring and to a lecture that was for the most part a review of the previous lecture.

It has been found to be the least toxic and most effective of all the drugs prescribed for the to a child who disease. But even when the dosage is too high, responds to the drug, if the child’s growth and weight patterns will be disrupted. Therefore, height and weight musj be carefully monitored, explained Cynthia Clayton, who works with hyperactive children at the Drug Evaluation-Clinic of the Child Guidance Center at Children’s Hospital in Buffalo. “It’s a-very hard decision to administer drugs or not when side effects of the drug of choice are known,” said Dr. Clayton. “Follow-up is very important. Once the child is calmed down, things can be worked out through counseling and then the drug dose can be tapered.” Statistics vague distraclability, impulsiveness and excitability are the major characteristics of the hyperactive child, according to Mark A. Stewart, author of the book Raising A Hyperactive Child. Such a child is not deficient in l.Q. or mental ability, but he lacks the ability to concentrate and constructively direct the overabundance of energy which he will often display in destructive and aggressive ways, much to the dismay of parents, teachers and peers. These children are classified as underachievers. Overactivity, The syndrome afflicts 8 boys for every girl, and usually largely disappears by adolescence. Statistics are vague regarding the true number of hyperactive children in the United States, and vaguer still for the number of children receiving drug treatment. Estimates have ranged from 1.5 to 5 million. Parents suffer too Some authorities feel hyperactivity is due to an immaturity in the child’s central nervous system. “We can reasonably theorize that hyperactivity may also be a sign of delayed development in a particular part of the brain or a lack of proper coordination of development in several centers of the brain,” reports Dr. Stewart in his book. Other theories deal with the effects 'of brain injury and chemical imbalances in the nervous system. For those who must live with a hyperactive child, life can be made unbearable, especially before the child has been properly diagnosed, and parents have little understanding of the problem. When the cause of these behavior problems are unknown, parents first think it is only a matter of discipline, and later become baffled when their Page eight. The SpecttUW Monday, 8 April 1974 . child does not respond to spankings and punishment. The home becomes a “battleground,” as one parent described it, and family members have few peaceful moment? when their hyperactive youngster is in the house. Medical help, a recent step Life is also sad at times for the parents of this child, for the hyperactive child usually has few friends he or she can get along with due to his or her erratic behavior, inability to follow' rules and play games properly. It is difficult for parents to deal with their child’s loneliness and low self-esteem, resulting from repeated social rejection. School is no different and perhaps worse for the hyperactive child. If normal children find it difficult to sit still in a classroom for long periods, for the hyperactive pupil this poses an impossible task. He or she is a constant source of disruption in the classroom, getting up and down, running around the room, unable to complete assignments, distracting other children. Teachers are sometimes forced to request that the child be removed from the classroom altogether. Before hyperkinesis was recognized as a legitimate disease or syndrome beyond the child’s conscious control, these children were simply regarded as “bad” and little was done to successfully help them and their parents, who suffered with equal pain. Amphetamines recommended The most common method of treatment today for hyperactivity is the administration of stimulant drugs. Surprisingly, amphetamines act as a calming agent in hyperactive children and give them the ability to. focus their energy and attention on a single task. Ritalin and Dexedrine are presently the most commonly-prescribed drugs of this type. These drugs do not cure hyperkinesis, but merely eradicate the symptoms, so other therapeutic techniques can be applied or so the child can sit still long enough to learn in the classroom. Without question, these are behavior modification drugs, a term which has come to assume negative connotations. And the nature of hyperkinesis as a medical ailment is presently recognized in a rather nebulous way by medical authorities. This situation places the possible candidate for hyperactive drug therapy in a precarious position. For such a child is now at the mercy of teachers and doctors, who have the power of referral and diagnosis respectively. And the potential for abuse of these powers is very real. • Referral types Mellaril and Dexedrine are other drugs given Ritalin, which is only an amphetamine-like substance, Dexedrine is an amphetamine, and Mellaril is srtranquilizer. Mellaril can cause liver toxicity, and is usually prescribed to teenagers, or to those patients who don’t respond to stimulant drugs. In general, stimulant drugs can cause loss of appetite and sleep difficulty if not administered properly. Dr. Clayton believes there are three types of children referred to her for tests for hyperactivity. “With the first group, there’s just no doubt in your mind,” she said. ‘This is the child who runs around the room, opening all the drawers, touching everything.” “Then there’s the more gray area, when the school says the kid can't sit still in school. Abuse can easily creep into this situation. A lot of these kids are asked to leave school for an evaluation,” she explained. The third group is described by Dr. Clayton as having “a behavior problem or an emotional acting-out due to a stress situation,” such as problems at home or a family crisis. In this case, she said no drugs would normally be prescribed unless a true psychiatric disturbance was apparent. to hyperactive patients. Unlike Drugs not enough “All these types are confusing to diagnose,” she commented. Describing the attitude of the Buffalo public schools toward possible cases of hyperactivity, she feels the schools have been “pretty good about the psychological exam,” which she considers a necessary part of testing. Dr. Clayton claims she is not a “pro-drug person,” and stresses follow-up and contact with the child’s school and family when drugs are prescribed. “Blood counts are necessary several times a year, and monitoring the drug doses are a big problem,’’ she continued. She also recommends guidance counseling for the patient and the parents. “You must convince the. parents it’s not their fault. They must overcome their guilt complex and adopt more adequate expectations for their child,” she said. Dr. Clayton also makes it a point to try to understand the family and the child’s situation to more fully understand the problems of her patient. Prescription controls imposed Presently in New York State, due to the new drug'abuse law, doctors are required to make out three copies of each prescription for many drugs. [See The Spectrum, April 5, page 4.] One copy Stays with the physician, one goes to the pharmacist and one is kept.on file in Albany. Despite the current controversy over whether this constitutes an “invasion of privacy/’ as Dr. Clayton feels it does, it allows for a more apcurate statistical record of drug treatment for hyperactivity. Prescriptions for such drugs must also be re-issued every month, according to Dr. Qayton, which places further limitations and controls on distribution of drugs and facilitates more frequent check-ups. Such controls are only a recent measure, and jn 1970 when the news of behavior modification drug-taking by grammar school children became widely publicized, the controversy was strong enough to prompt a House of Representatives subcommittee review of the issues. Although nothing was resolved by the committee, many facts about hyperkinesis and the ethical questions regarding drug treatment were made public, and it .also served as an impetus for further research into the area. Congressional hearings Cornelius E. Gallagher, then a Representative, led the hearing and began by raising some serious questions regarding the long-term efficacy ol a drug-oriented solution. His first major point was that a history of drug-taking, approved by parents, educators and medical authorities, counteracts the nation-wide campaign against drug-abuse. “I am frankly very curious about the kind of credibility his parents have when they try to guide him away from amphetamines after encouraging him to take them,” he said. A second point dealt with the potential handicap of having a permanent record of drug-therapy in the child’s later life. Mr. feared casting “a clous of suspicion over that child’s future,” and commented; “It would indeed be a paradoxical effect to help a child, but to damn him at the same time.” Diagnostic errors ' Mr. Gallagher also abhorred the possibility of a “dependence on quick and inexpensive solutions offered by the new technology without adequate attention being paid to the slower and perhaps more costly methods which would preserve the sanctity ot human values and the precious resources of the human spirit.” He added that not enough attention was being Abuse? There is factual evidence that these power have already been abused. Children who are merely overactive, or suffer from emotional problems, or have a personality clash with their teacher, have been diagnosed as hyperactive and given medication. Many doctors do not give f, I f f - �r iikt- S • - $ijl m gSkjL devoted to research of the long-term effects of drug-therapy for hyperactivity. The most crucial issue explored by Mr. Gallagher, which has initiated intense debate among educators as well, regards accurate diagnosis of the child who may have minimal brain dysfunction. Mr. Gallagher argued; “Obviously, this unstructured passion for all the events in a child’s world is regarded as unruly and disruptive, particularly in overcrowded classrooms. I fear that there is a very great temptation to diagnose the bored but bright child as hyperactive, prescribe drugs, and thus deny him full learning during his most creative years.” Schools as prisons John Holt, a well-known author and educator, presented written testimony at the House hearing. He commented on this matter as follows: “Children have a great deal of energy; they like to move about; they live and learn with their bodies and muscles, not just their eyes and ears; when adults try to compel them to remain still and silent for long periods of time they resent and resist it; most of them can be cowed and silenced by various bribes and threats; 5 to 15 per cent cannot. These we diagnose as suffering from a ‘learning malady' called hyperkinesis.” “We consider it a disease because it makes it difficult to run our schools as we do, like maximum security prisons, for the comfort and convenience of the teachers and administrators who work in them. The energy of children is ‘bad’ because it is a nuisance to the exhausted and overburdened adults who do not want to or know how to and are not able to keep up with it.” ‘Big Brother’ Many would feel that Mr. Holt’s position is far too radical in its presentation of the school system, and perhaps paranoid in the sense that he almost seems to perceive a conspiracy against the natural childhood instincts by adults in power who .eek expedient remedies for discipline problems. Yet, John Holt is an influential man and there are still others who think his position is not radical enough. Thus, it becomes apparent how complicated the issue of behavior modification drug therapy is. The philosophical questions also expand when the problem is viewed in a collective sense, as opposed to individual cases, and shades of “Big Brother” and his potential power creep into the picture. Government statement Currently much research on drug therapy for minimal brain dysfunction is being conducted through grants awarded by the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH), a branch of the Department of Health, Education and Welfare. NIMH has issued the following statements about til i i i such drug therapy: “There is a need to diagnose appropriately the individual child before these drugs are used When given under competent, medical supervision, these drugs are both safe and clinically effective in a very high percentage (approximately 65 to 80%) of hyperactive children.” “These drugs have been effective both in the behavioral sense of reducing ovcractivity. impulsiveness, temper outbursts and aggressiveness, while at the same time increasing attention span, concentration, and the ability to The more common perform cognitive tasks side-effects of methylphenidete (Ritalin), and dextroamphetamine (Dexedrine), loss of appetite and sleep difficulty, can be controlled by adjusting the dosage prescribed and the time during the day when the drugs are given.” ... .. . Non-drug solutions Some people are searching for other for hyperactivity. One such man is Ben F. Feingold, director emeritus of the Department of Allergy at the Kaiser-Permanente Medical Center in San Francisco. He reported that a diet free of articial flavors and colors can eliminate the symptoms of hyperactivity. Other foods prohibited include some fruits and vegetables containing natural salicylates. Aspirin containing salicylates are replaced with other analgesics. Many of these substances have already been proven to cause a wide range of allergic reactions by themselves, according to Dr. Feingold. This diet, although eliminating the need for the stimulant drugs, has its own problems. Dr. Feingold has advised that the whole family go on the diet with the hyperactive child, to eliminate temptation for him or her, because just one small bite of an artificially flavored food could trigger symptoms of hyperactivity lasting from 24-72 hours. In addition, 90% of food contains such additives, making these products difficult to avoid. special learning centers and new teaching techniques for them. One notably successful effort is taking place in Santa Monica. California, where eight learning centers have been established for children with learning disorders, including hyperactivity. Approximately 250 children attend the centers. Public responsibility Entitled “The Madison Plan." the major difference between the teaching techniques used hejc for hyperactive students and those of the regular classroom, is the shortened time span allotted to activities. Every 15 minutes a new activity is begun and children are given tangible, immediate rewards for their efforts. Children are not isolated, and continue to live at home with their families, and the long-term goal is to get them back into regular schools. In spite of these novel breakthroughs, the major portion of research dealing with the treatment of hyperkinesis appears to focus on drug therapy, rather than drug-free diets or innovative educational measures. There is no question that drugs haVe a valuable role to play in our lives, when used carefully and cautiously, but it is also a healthy sign to constantly evaluate these drugs and the reasons they are being prescribed. The use of behaviof modification drugs, especially for young children, is not an affair analogous to the swallowing of aspirin for a simple headache. Hopefully, medical science is working to help the children who must live with hyperactivity, and not simply using them as guinea pigs for drug research. To insure this state, however, is the responsibility of the public. Educational advances As of yet, no controlled studies have been run to test this theory, partly because there exist an estimated 2500-3000 artificial flavors to be tested. There are only 11 artificial colors. All these additives are presently approved tor use by the Food and Drug Administration. Coffee has been found as an adequate replacement for stimulant drugs in the case of hyperactivity by a South Carolina psychiatrist. Robert C. Schnackenberg, who claims the caffeine in coffee calms these children as does amphetamine drugs. He reports that 200-300 mgs. of caffeine a day is the best dosage. Again, no controlled studies have been done to validate this theory. The doctor has only seen it work tor some of his patients. The education field is also beginning to deal directly with the hyperactiye child by developing Monday, 8 April 1974-.<I'heflfHRJtrum » Page nihe H �.

MU&iaagd juQ �- •JL mBi •• -a Making your mark in business used to mean carving a comfortable niche for yourself and staying there. Promotion was simply a matter of time, provided you could spend 20 years in the process. But, todayrbusiness depends on technology. Technology that can’t wait a moment if it’s going to keep pace with what’s happening. That’s why, at Kodak, our basic reliance on scientific research makes the need for creative young minds more demanding than ever. We must have people with drive and ambition, impatient to put what they’ve learned into practice. People who get all the freedom and responsibility they can handle, and tadde our problems with their ideas. Which, we’re happy to say, has helped many of our scientists yield important discoveries. For example: The woman on the left has devised new and improved photographic materials for specialized scientific applications in fields such as astronomy and holography. The young man is an expert on surface analysis. His work in photoelectron spectroscopy helps to identify unknown substances. The woman cm the right has a hgt fourteen The Spectrum Monday, 8 April 1974 .

They came up with new problems while solving some of our old ones. But theyVe uncovered some promising answers, too. As they continue theirresearch, you may read about them again. The oldest is just over30. Why do we give young men and women so much room to test their ideas? Because good ideas often lead to better products. Which are good for business. And we’re in business to make a profit. But in furthering our own business interests, we also further society’s interests.Which makes good sense. After all, our business depends on society. So we care what happens to it. / M| Kodak. More than a business. �.V - • ■ ; prices, SLOW unfair SERVICE, ridiculous repairs. Available at Independent Foreign Car service. Write Box T50 Spectrum.

Now, he says, “1 hate my reaction.” As if to make up for his years as an intellectual, rebelling against his old man. Dr. Fiedler is moving In the direction of exploring comic books, radio, television, science fiction, movies, Tanan stories, and well, you name it, “I think it would be as profitable,” he explains, “for people to study The Lone Ranger’ as a book like Finnegan ’j Wake. Since Dr. Fiedler was last week named chairman of the University’s English Department for the next three years, it looks like a lot of people will be moving with him. ‘This is going to be a difficult time,” he sighs, “to be head of an English Department any place, because this is a time of shrinking enrollment. What is necessary for this department to decide is what’s most important and to fight to keep it.” Dr. Fiedler feels that the “open and experimental” nature of the department is the feature he intends to fight to preserve. ‘This is the best open English Department in the country,” he asserted with pride. “It would be a mistake to try to turn it into a second-best traditional English Department. It’s always been willing to try anything.” — red H^mtecK Housing law upheld by court Anything goes Under that hazy rubric, “anything” which so often means he is interested in including a concentration on “anything / want” .. . . those pop mentioned above.

The ease involved six State University at Stony Brook students who rented a six-bedroom house in Belle Terre, L.I., a residential community of about 700 near the Stony Brook campus. The High Court’s action reversed decisions by the Federal District Court and the U.S. Court of Appeals. In writing for the majority in the 7-to-2 vote. Justice William O. Douglas said the police power exercised by local governments in zoning ordinances “is ample to lay out zones where family values and the blessings of quiet seclusion and clean air make the area a sanctuary for people.” In a dissenting opinion. Justice ThurgoodMarshall declared the village “has, in effect, acted to fence out those individuals whose choice of lifestyles differs from that of its current residents.” No effect in Buffalo Buffalo’s Corporation Counsel, Anthony Manguso, said he foresees no change in the pattern of enforcing housing ordinances in Buffalo. The entire city of Buffalo is subject to an old zoning ordinance which forbids more than two unrelated persons from living together in a house or apartment. Despite isolated cases of harassment, the city has refrained from evicting many of the 5000 University students who share apartments off-campus. Mr, Manguso said the Supreme Court ruling really has no effect upon the city, except that “the city can establish conduct standards in zoning laws.” Student leaders on this campus had been confident that the Supreme Court would rule the housing ordinance unconstitutional. If the ordinance had been overturned, then the present Buffalo ordinance would also be rendered unconstitutional. Then the threat of eviction because there were too many students living together in an apartment would be removed, and students might sleep easier. However, University District Councilman William Price cautioned students not to think of the housing crisis as a simple issue to be resolved by one Common Council resolution relating to the number of students who can live in a dwelling. Like the mayor of Belle Terre, L.I., Mr. Price noted that the community wants to preserve its stature. In the case of the fctony Brook students, the small community claimed that additional students had moved into the — — ‘ , . . _ .. ,, . ... , „ . . , , « —continued on page 5 — Chaotic laws Mr. Price said the two reasons for limiting the occupancy of a house are that the community “doesn’t like communes,” and that the community wishes to “preserve the character of the neighborhood.” However, the Supreme Court decision will not create a “rash of code enforcement,” Mr. Price said. He noted numerous flaws and inconsistencies in the laws and emphasized that the laws “create chaos that works only for the landlords.” He noted that the ordinance restricting the number of unrelated people that can live together was not written with the student population in mind. Despite the need to alleviate the housing crisis, Mr. Price asserted that there was no simple solution. What might result from his ongoing study into housing problems is a package deal in which the University would supply technical assistance to make the surrounding area more livable; the students would be restricted in the amount of roommates for a particular dwelling by the number of real bedrooms it contains; and the landlords would make a sufficient profit so that maintenance of houses would not be as great a financial burden as it has been. When students petitioned the Common Council March 1972 to repeal the Buffalo housing ordinance, Councilman Lewandowski was an outspoken supporter for retaining the ordinance. Mr. Price feels Mr. Lewandowski is “ripe” for a vote change. However, Mr. Price admitted that students “would have to give a little.” Mr. Price had said he was willing to. “cut out one student per house,” but had no suggestions as to where they would live once they were ousted. “I don’t know where to go” to solve the problem, he' said. He suggested the University or the state, or the students themselves doing something to secure more housing for students they ousted. Ultimately, the problem of student housing will be decided “in terms of housing development and maintenance,” he said. in —York Leslie Fiedler �Faculty Senate discusses analysis of courses sffijga-fega office would work out its own the to to a improve questionnaire and report New methods designed evaluation of teaching ability at this University-wide Central Office.

Bruce Francis, director of the Survey Research Center who runs the present ACT program, was not willing to comment on the TEC report’s specific criticisms until he and his staff had time to study them. However, Dr. Francis singled out one criticism in the *report that he felt was undeserved. That objection was that the . .

But, he said, it will need considerable funds and tremendous faculty input. However, if each faculty or department has their own Office of Teaching Effectiveness, as. Dr. Reichert proposes, the amount of capital needed to run the Center would not run as high. In response to criticism of the ACT The Office of Admissions and Records will 1974 Registration conduct Summer Session beginning Monday, April 15, 1974. All students currently registered at the University for the Spring 1974 semester need only to complete a Course Request Form.

Some take ACT seriously Responding to comments by faculty members that the ACT has been a failure, Dr. Francis said the fact that the faculty is taking a great deal of time with student evaluations is an indication of success, not failure. Several faculty members said they had taken the surveys seriously and acted accordingly in improving the quality of their instruction. The very productive Faculty-Senate meeting included President Robert Ketter’s formal acceptance of the Reichert Prospectus for the Colleges. Dr. Ketter did '’not accept the Prospectus without reservations, however. In a letter to Senate chairman Gilbert Moore, Dr. Ketter wrote that “certain provisions leave me with an uneasy feeling.” He noted in particular a section in the Propsectus that permits mutual veto power between the Faculty-Senate and the Collegiate Assembly in selection of Chartering Committee members. Dr. Ketter views this arrangement “as an ai. hoc response to a particularly troublesome problem.” He does not want this arrangement to establish precedent for selections of members on other University committees. The debate on the TEC report in the Faculty-Senate will continue on April 16. The report has not yet been approved, and it appears that more student and faculty input is needed to resolve the debate. STEAKS (Sat. . $ not be returned along with the computer ACT ‘a disaster’ The TEC report met with mexed reaction. George Hochfidd, chairman-elect of the Senate, said: “We all knew ACT was a disaster before the report.” He urged the Faculty-Senate to start at the beginning again by making a substitute motion. Dr. Hochfield’s motion, which was eventually voted down, called for the establishment of a program that would directly involve the Student Association (SA) and abolish the Office of Teaching Effectiveness. Physics professor Jonathan Reichert stirred the Senate by vividly urging more specific questions on jhe ACT distributed three weeks before the end of questionnaire. Stressing that the process the semester so the results would be must be decentralized, He would like to see available before the next semester began. ‘There is a feeling at SA that these professors and students from various departments help conjure up questions. evaluations are very important,” Mark Dr. Reichert did not agree with Dr. ,Humm, SA Academic Affairs Coordinator, Hochfield’s proposal to involve SA because told the Faculty-Senate. “I don’t think we he does not feel that students can handle could handle it successfully, especially the collection of such a vast amount of because we don’t have the funds,” Mr. data.

Dr. Ketter is nearing the end of his flve-year term of office and is therefore subject to the “Guidelines for the Review Process for the Chancellor and Presidents,” adopted by the SUMY Board of Trustees in December 1973. This procedure calls for the creation of an ad hoc committee comprised of four members, one from each of the four main campus constituencies: faculty, students, the administration and the UB Council. State University of New York (SUNY) Chancellor Ernest Boyer recently asked Faculty-Senate Chairman Gilbert Moore, former Student Association (SA) President Jon Dandes, Executive Vice President Albert Somit and UB Council chairman William C. Baird to be members of the Presidential review committee. Chaired by Dr. Moore, the committee must submit “a written appraisal of the presidential performance” as specified by the trustees’ guidelines. This consists of a documented committee report, as well as an original report by each committee member representing the opinions of his constituents. The reports will be based on President Ketter’s execution of his duties according to six criteria specifically outlined in the guidelines. These include: academic leadership and management, administrative leadership and management, the institutional tone set by the President, internal relationships, external relationships, and sensitivity to the needs of the campus. Variety of. opinion Discussing his forthcoming investigation, Dr. Moore explained that he would sample the recommendations of the faculty in a variety of ways. He hopes to gain some verbal feedback about President Ketter’s performance from about 30% of the Faculty-Senate, 5% of the voting faculty, most of the Senate Executive Committee, and various special interest groups within the faculty. The committee will begin meeting with campus and community organizations next week. Additionally, Dr. Moore said that although the six criteria will serve as areas of discussion in assessing Dr. Ketter, the participants will undoubtedly focus on the aspects of the President’s term which seem most important to this University. “We want people to respond in light of their experience,” he said. Some of the groups which the committee has already the University Assembly, contacted include: Faculty-Senate, Civil Service Employees Association (CSEA), Campus Security Union (Council 82, AFL-CIO), Student Association (SA), Graduate Student Association * •, (GSA), Dental Student Association, Medical School Pohty, Student Bar Association, Millard Fillmore Student Association (MFCSA), Black Student Union, Puerto Rico Student Organization, United University Professionals (UUP), Alumni Association, UB Advisory Council, Committee for Recruitment and Promotion of Women, Committee for Minority Faculty and Staff Recruitment, UB Council, Ethos and The Spectrum, Explaining that the criteria adequately represnted “aD facets of the job,” Dr. Somit said the procedure of appraising a university president in this way was unique in the country. “It is an excellent idea,” he said. So for, favorable Mr. Baird was also enthusiastic about the thoroughness of the committee’s work. “So far, the investigations have been favorable to Dr. Ketter,” he indicated. As chairman of the UB Council, Mr. Baird has already met with the Community Council, Executive Alumni and various other community groups. According to the guidelines, President Ketter must also submit a written self-evaluation to Chancellor Boyer, who will study it and then send it to the committee. All the investigations of the committee are strictly confidential, including Dr. Ketter’s self-appraisal. However, Dr. Ketter would like to see this document published at the conclusion of the committee’s evaluation. He emphasized that unlike most other campuses, the State University of Buffalo was always open about these kind of proceedings. 'There’s nothing hidden from the campus,” President Ketter said. But Chancellor Boyer has strongly discouraged Dr. Ketter from doing so, because he feels an unfair precedent would be set for future presidents who did not want their confidential reports published. Self-improvement However, Dr. Ketter confided that the last section of his 52-page report dealt with future problems the University would have to face. Since all the reports contained in the presidential review would be made available to him, Dr. Ketter felt the evaluations would help him improve his performance as an educator and an administrator. The presidential review is expected to be completed and sent to Chancellor Boyer by May 1. Any organization or individual that would like to make a written recommendation to the ad hoc committee must send it to Dr. Moore almost immediately. This is the first year the State University of New York has used this method of evaluation for reappointing a university president. Chancellor Boyer and the President of the State University at Stony Brook are also being evaluated according to the new guidelines. New Student Assembly talks on their problems by Clem Colucci Contributing Editor The Student Assembly got what Executive Vice President Scott Salimando “a feel of the new Executive promised it Committee” in its first meeting under the new Student Association (SA) Administration. Most of Tuesday’s meeting was taken up by reports from the officers and coordinators as the Assembly and Executive Committee explored each other’s priorities. But any suspicion that the first meeting would be timid or hesitant was shattered when SA President Frank Jackalone opened his remarks with; “A lot of people may be dissatisfied by what I’m going to say.” Looking at the group of roughly 50 people in Haas Lounge, Mr. Jackalone said: “This is the entire level of student involvement at this University.” Even that, he clearly implied, was not much. The Student Assembly lacks knowledge of campus affairs, Mr. Jackalone said. “There are decisions being made in Hayes Hall and on the floor of the Faculty-Senate that 90% of this body knows nothing about.” He cited the issue of teaching effectiveness being discussed at the Faculty-Senate meeting that afternoon: “Academic Affairs Coordinator Mark Humm and a few Spectrum reporters is all the student input we have,” Mr. Jackalone maintained. - — Student awareness wanted He said the Assembly would have to work hard to be of any use, especially on committee assignments. “We need student awareness,” he emphasized, “and that student awareness has to start here.” Mr. Jackalone let the Assembly vote on some appointments, relinquishing his authority to do it unilaterally. The Assembly elected Sub-Board I Vice President Richard Hochman to fill a vacancy on the Finance Committee, Pamela Benson to fill Mr. Jackalonc’s former spot as Assembly representative to the Executive Committee, and Student Affairs Coordinator Howie Schapiro and Terry Goldberg to round out the Personnel and Appointments Committee, which must soon meet to decide on appointed SA positions. All these results were subject to Mr. Jackalone’s approval, which he subsequently gave. Mr. Salimando informed the Assembly of the formation of the Food Service Advisory Committee, the Bookstore Standing Committee and the reinstitution of a seconds table for Food Service, accomplishments he credited to the past SA administration. CIA involvement Then Mr. Salimando discussed the new Committee for the Improvement of the Assembly (CIA). He emphasized the “need for procedure,” saying he could not change the Assembly unilaterally and urged Assembly members to contribute ideas. He also said SA would try to revamp Public Information to get more information both to the Assembly and to students. The other officers and coordinators reported their activities to the Assembly and repeated their pleas for students to work on committees. In other business, Mr. Jackalone proposed several constitutional amendments. This is required by the SA Constitution, which states all amendments must be proposed at the meeting before the one at which they are voted upon. The amendments propose changes in the amending process, the make-up and selection procedure for the Finance and Personnel and Appointments Committees, and the establishment of a University Religious Council. Friday, 5 April 1974 The Spectrum Page three . . • • �in triplicate by law by Joseph P. Esposito Spectrum Staff Writer A New York State law designed to help control abuses of prescription drugs has been labelled “an invasion of privacy" by some local physicians. The Controlled Substances Law, sponsored by Stale Assemblyman Chester Haidt (R; Amherst), went into effect on April I, 1973. Since that time, all physicians and pharmacists in the state have been required to fill out prescriptions in triplicate when prescribing narcotics, amphetamines or barbiturates. The procedure is administered by the Bureau of Narcotic Control of the New York State Department of Health. Under the triplicate prescription procedure, whenever a physician prescribes such “Controlled Substances” as Morphine, Demarol (a pain killer), Ritalin (a stimulant). Straight Codeine, Preludin (a diet drug), Dexedrine (an amphetamine), and Petcodan (a pain killer), he is required by law to fill out a prescription form three times. New forms used The law requires that physicians and dentists use a special state-supplied prescription form for such drugs. This official form consists of an origianl and two carbon copies, and may be purchased from the Bureau of Narcotics Control. One hundred forms cost $ 10. Having filled out the prescription, the physician retains one copy to be kept in his files for five years. He gives the other two copies to the patient, who then takes them to a pharmacy where the prescription can be filled. Drug containers for the regulated medicines carry an orange label with the wording “Controlled Substances, Dangerous Unless Used as Directed." The pharmacist retains one copy for his files, and mails the third copy to the Narcotic Control Bureau in Albany, where the information is computerized. Controls for veterinarians The law is designed to keep a check both on physicians who may prescribe excessive narcotics, amphetamines, and barbiturates; and on patients, who may circulate among many doctors in order to obtain large quantities of the controlled substances. Previously, it was necessary for state officials to conduct tedious persona) inspections of the records of physicians or druggists if they wanted to check prescription patterns. The triplicate prescription is intended to curtail the flow of drugs to addicts from medical sources. The procedure also applies to veterinarians in order to prevent the misuse of drugs prescribed for animals. The spend considerably more time on paperwork than would otherwise be necessary. The doctor must now print his name end address, the patient's name and address, the drug prescribed, and so forth. Charles F. O’Connor, a local physician who also works with University Health Service, has called the law “an invasion of privacy and in imposition of a third party between doctor and patient.” “This state effort to control drugs is just a smokescreen for the real drug problem,” he said. encourage the M.D. to use a less adequate drug’.’ in treating patients. When the physician informs his patients of the fact that the prescription will go to Albany, manjr request an alternate drug, one not covered by the triplicate procedure. Dr. O’Connor also dislikes the law because it establishes “just another bureau." In addition, the law does not include some analgesic compounds, such as some codeine compounds, which, if taken in quantity, are as 'n to abt - and addiction as the straight drug A spokesman for the Erie County Medical Society commented: “The Society as a whole has voiced objection to the law.” S. Mouchly Small, professor and chairman of the Psychiatry Department at the State University of Buffalo Medical School, doesn’t “think the law will accomplish what it’s set up to do because it won’t approach those who are really abusing drugs. Those who All out the triplicate are obeying the law to begin with.” “Computerization smacks of Big Brothcrism,” Dr. ... More bureaucracy? “Computerization is supposed to dissuade patients from going to various doctors” to obtain the controlled drugs. Dr. O’Connor explained. He feels this is ridiculous because someone trying to obtain the drugs could use a false name on a visit to a physician, and “unless doctors start checking driver’s licenses,” the state would never know. Dr. O’Connor also criticized the law because “it may procedure is not used for hospital in-patients. The triplicate prescription requires that the physician Small added. Leo A. Kane, an anesthiologist at Children’s Hospital, said he “favors anything which will stop the flow of drugs, including the triplicate prescription if it will help.” However, Dr. Kane said he would like some information about the procedure’s efficiency in curbing drug abuse. Colleges attempt to meet Reichert requirements by Gary Cohn Campus Editor There are many ways to fight for survival. Early this semester, the Colleges vehemently protested the new Prospectus for the Colleges, otherwise known as the Reichert report. The onpe-quiet Faculty-Senate was alive with debate, and hostile feelings flared up from time to time. But despite the persistent protests of many Collegians, the Faculty-Senate overwhelmingly adopted the Reichert Prospectus on February 5. Although a few of the Colleges havy continued their protest by joining forces with the Community/University coalition, most Colleges are now actively attempting to meet the requirements specified in the Reichert Prospectus. Under the Reichert Prospectus, every existing College must be approved by a facility-dominated chartering committee 1, 1975. Those Colleges failing to win approval will cease to exist. by January that faculty could be compensated financially for the hours spent away from their regular departments. Irving Spitzberg, the new Dean of. the Colleges, has been confronting this problem by requesting additional funds from the Administration, seeking volunteer help from the departments, and arranging for departments which allow faculty to teach in the Colleges to suffer no financial hardships. Financial support pledged The Colleges have been pledged a “reasonable” amount of money for the following year, Dr. Spitzberg maintained. He added that the “big fight” for funds will come over the 1975-76 budget because he will be requesting a much larger budget. To overcome departmental reluctance to allow their faculty to teach in the Colleges, Dr. Spitzberg is working on an arrangement whereby each College course taught by a departmental faculty member will be listed by both the College and the department. composed The chartering committee of six faculty, two Collegians and three is expected to begin students deliberations within a few weeks. The - Colleges seek faculty The Reichert Prospectus specifies that charters will be granted only to those units with significant faculty support. Since the Prospectus was passed by the Faculty-Senate on February 5, the Colleges - faculty. Faculty-Senate executive committee and the Collegiate Assembly have veto power over each other’s nominees to that committee. Problems have arisen because the Colleges were not given additional funds with which to pay faculty members. Many College spokesmen termed the situation “Catch 22” because hiring a large number of faculty requires money that will be available only after each College receives its charter. Specifically, Colleges, were expected to purchase “released time” so Pick any six In a letter to Dr. Spitzberg, Senate chairman Gil Moore presented a panel of nine names and asked for agreement on any six from the list. They are: William Allen, Professor of History; Harry Cullinan, Professor and Chairman, Chemical Engineering; Newton Carver, Professor of have been actively soliciting Pageiotur The Spectrum Friday, 5 April 1974 . . Philosophy; Robert Gayley, Associate Professor of Physics; Larry Green, Professor of Orthodontics; Curtis Mettlin, Assistant Professor of Sociology; Anne Payne, Associate Professor of English; Myles Slatin, Professor of English; and Yoram Szekely, Associate Librarian. A College spokesman said that “there is nobody particularly offensive on the list.” The College nominees are: Jackie Finley (College B); Susan Cook (College F); and alternate Simon Elmsley (College E). The thrust of the Colleges’ effort has shifted from protests over Reichert report efforts to solicit faculty support for the chartering process. Additionally, some of the Colleges are combining programs or changing the focus of their courses. For instance, College E plans to apply for charter as the College of the Poor. Other Colleges H (Health); B (Arts); to - Carson (Environmental); Mathematical Sciences; Vico (Humanities); and Modern Education are preparing to move to the new Ellicott Complex on the Amherst Campus. The Colleges hope to occupy 1000 of the 1200 Ellicott beds which will open in the fall.

The losers, in terms of traditional literature, will be the English majors, especially the undergraduate English majors. Fiedler, already well-established in the academic community, responded: “I think that English majors have got to think in terms of more varied vocational opportunities.” Experience in Montana Since 1964, Dr. Fiedler has taught at the State University of Buffalo; before that, he was a member of the Montana State University English department for 23 years, and its chairman from 1954-56.

To lighten his load, he intends to have “at least two associate chairmen” and to pursue a policy “to get many more people involved in administration. It makes it easier for everyone." Dr. Fiedler’s other priorities include plans to teach a course in technology, which he describes as a look at “the way technological chance changes the imagination. Another of his activities is writing. The Message Will Come No More, his latest book, is a science fiction novel due in September from Stein and Day. He is just starting work on Freaks, “a big book which will explore the role and meaning of human monsters and prodigies in Western civilization from classical times until now.” Dr. Fiedler’s big crusade is to get a native American (Indian) as a faculty member in his department, citing the large number of native American students attending this University. He favors a loosely-structured quota system (although he doesn’t embrace the term) in hiring faculty. Apparently, he feels the.cultural background of the students at this University should be reflected in the faculty. Perhaps this means we will see a day when roughly one-half of out faculty members are Buffalonians, while the other half will hail from New York City.

With the lack of public protection against cost of living increases, Mr. Reid proposes a “Public Service Commission that will fight for public interest, and not utility interest.” Changes in drug laws Fielding queries during a question-and-answer period, Mr. Reid commented on New York’s new drug laws: “Rockefeller’s first drug program was a billion-dollar failure. There are no adequate early education programs on drug abuse, there are no research programs, and there meaningful, are no comprehensive, rehabilitation programs in this state,” Mr. Reid asserted. feels the present drug penalties do not discriminate between big-time pushers and those users that need help. “I think the present drug laws should He be changed. We must put together a coherent and comprehensive program. There are now IS0,000 hard drug users that need help.” He defines a “comprehensive” program as one which would include higher components of education, research and rehabilitation. Asked about the marijuana laws, Mr. Reid said the penalty should not be any higher than the penalty imposed on a minor for drinking, which presently is a $ 10 fine. Faced with the problem of financing his campaign, Mr. Reid said that some ten individuals have put up a substantial sum, and he has had small many contributors. He has disclosed every penny received for his campaign thus far. He believes he will get support from a large number of small contributors and an independent ethics committee. He claims he has never received any large contribution from any major oil company. Veterans benefits discussed In response to a question about benefits, Mr. Reid veteran informed his listeners that New York State receive one-third the benefits they do in other states. “Something must be done about this,” he said. He also proposed many drug rehabilitation programs for veterans. In the past, he has supported increased medical and veterans in educational benefits for returning Vietnam vets. When asked about prison reform, Mr. Reid declared: “Our bastilles are out of date, and the Attica reforms should be acted on.” He is disturbed by the medical atrocities in prisons, heart attack. “Recidivism in this state is 70 to 80%,” an enormously alarming proportion, except on Rikers Island where there has been an budget, spending less money on things such as malls. “We must create better performance standards,” he said, calling for the modernization of agriculture. and industry Improving agriculture, he feels, will not only improve food supplies, but will be beneficial to attempt at rehabilitation through the environment. citing a case at Sing Sing where a patient was given aspirin for a special training, Mr. Reid explained. “Prisons should give meaningful training for jobs (upon release], and not training for committing more crimes. should There rehabilitation.” Overhaul PSC Mr. Reid had be taken real the Telephone Company and Public Service Commission (PSC) to to what he prevent inflationary rate considers increase. He feels that the PSC should be totally overhauled; “Not a single increase brought before the PSC by either the electric companies or telephone company was turned down.” He also feels that alternative sources of power should be investigated. Voting against the Alaska court pipeline for environmental reasons, Rep. Reid also strongly opposed it because it was detrimental to New York State. “We need a balance between the environment and power,” he said. He proposes two measures for assuring this; 1) A fully-staffed laboratory monitoring mineral, air and water levels to be maintained at all times for information; and Tough 2) fines against corporations violating environmental safety. Long Island Sound and the Finger Lakes were only two examples of the areas in need of environmental protection. New York State spends, according to Mr. Reid, about $13.6 billion per year. To finance all of his new programs, he proposes to reorganize the present Remarking that the growth rate of New York State is only one-quarter that of California, while California’s population exceeds New York by almost two million persons, Mr. Reid plans to “get the growth rate moving. We must also control the cost of living so people will want to live in New York State.” New York has been on the decline for five years” and if it continues this way, “people will not be able to afford to live in New York State.” In addition to investing in modernization of industry and agriculture, Mr. Reid supports and health service highway improvement. In response to the defeat of the transportation bond issue in 1973, Mr. Reid plans to advance the state’s railway system. The defeated issue would have created highway a Buffalo and New York City, but Mr. Reid feels more attention should be paid to the rail system at this time. Mr. Reid is responsible for legislation that won the right to vote by absentee ballot in state primaries. Governor Wilson had moved the June primaries up to September 12, thereby preventing students from voting in the connecting primaries. Voting by absentee ballot now gives this opportunity to disabled vets and senior citizens. Mr. Reid’s philosophy and goals are strongly reflected by his voting record and actions. He has been, “an excellent called Congressman, one of the best” by The New York Times. CHABRD HOUSE ANNOUNCES Passover Seder Reservations are available on Friday for Sat.

The paper has been suspended twice in the past four years. ‘The cartoon was not intended to offend nor demean any religious groups, it was just intended as a sexual satire,” said Managing Editor Steve Simon. “It was printed on the page entitled Mind Ooze,” said Mr. Simon. ‘This page is saved for such weird things, and people were warned earlier not to believe this page.” The cartoonist, Bobby Attanasio, himself a Catholic, did not consider the drawing at all obscene. But many critics disagree. The scope of critics has ranged from CCNY President Robert Marshak to the National Conference of Christians and Jews, which called the drawing “obscene, blasphemous, and.disgusting.” Repercussions The newspaper itself has been threatened with suspension and the student government, acting on demands from President Marshak, has asked for a formal apology. They want “clarification in the form of a retraction,” said Mr. Simon, “and they are giving us until April 16 to do it.” In reaction to this incident, there has been a move to create a supervisory board for the five campus publications. More serious action has been taken by Senator James Buckley (C-R; N.Y.). Responding to a letter he received by the Chaplain of the Catholic Newman Club, he has requested that the civil rights divisions of both the Department of Health, Education and Welfare and the Department of Justice investigate the cartoon as a violation of federal anti-defamation laws. Senator Buckley described the cartoon as a “vicious and incredibly offensive anti-religious drawing.” “What is at stake here,” claimed Senator Buckley, “is not the right of others to criticize an obscene and anti-religious cartoon, but the question of whether anyone has a right to publish such a cartoon in a paper supported by compulsory contributions extracted from the entire student body.” So far no real action has been taken against the Observation Post. The editors do not view the controversy as very serious and do not expect any serious problems. When a similar issue arose before, the Appellate Division of the Second Department in Staten Island ruled that administrators could not interfere with the publication of a student newspaper. This decision was reinforced by a Supreme Court ruling in March 1973, which ordered the University of Missouri to reinstate a journalism student who was expelled for newspaper that was distributing a considered pornographic by the school’s administrators. The editors’ major concern is exactly how to respond to the student government’s demand for an apology.

To the Editor: sH — Presidential tax evasion Just when Americans are struggling over their April income tax returns comes the damaging confirmation that the President of the United States took illegal deductions, failed to declare profits on real estate sales, and generally seized every loophole in the book to pay only minimal income taxes during his first four years in the White House. The fact that scores of illegal deductions were not questioned by the IRS from 1969 to 1972 while petty deductions by working people are closely scrutinized can only suggest that Presidential tax returns are treated differently from those of ordinary citizens. And while the Congressional investigation and the IRS are leaving the — — determination of whether the President committed fraud to the House impeachment inquiry, it is an undeniable double standard of justice that Mr. Nixon is merely being asked to »pay back the $432,787 he owes in unpaid taxes, a violation that would place most citizens in jail for tax evasion. More and more Washington insiders are confidently predicting that the House already has enough votes to impeach Mr. Nixon. Notwithstanding all his other crimes in office, when an American President abuses the Presidency to chisel on his income taxes, he sets a frightening moral example for the rest of the country. That impeachment vote cannot come too soon. § � f I am nothing if not outraged at the malicious treatment of Jews in the April Fool’s Day (April 1st) issue of The Spectrum.

The committee itself is "stacked" while it is coincidence that the outgoing SA President and Faculty-Senate chairman are both sympathetic to Dr. Ketter, certainly Executive Vice-President Albert Somit, who was personally appointed by the President, is in no position to candidly criticize his superior. But the committee can overcome this handicap if it seriously weighs the input of every campus group and individual it receives. The committee makes only a recommendation to the SUNY Board of Trustees, which could be ignored or treated as a rubber stamp.

Michael Hall Girls �Apartment advice Looking Glae& To the Editor: This letter is written in the hope that present and future tenants will be more thorough in their search for apartments this spring than my roommates and I were last year. We wanted “out of the dorms” and thus concluded that anything was better than a dorm. I hope the prospective tenants will benefit from the mistakes we made and that the following guidelines win help you make a decision you will not regret after signing on the dotted line. When looking over an apartment, do not overlook the present tenants. An extra 10 minutes’ conversation with them can tell you more than an hour jn the apartment or with the landlord. Why aren’t they renting again? This is a critical point to consider. Often the landlord shows the apartment and rushes you through. Stay those extra minutes with a conversation with the present tenants without the presence of the landlord. Is the apartment furnished? Chances are it will be and note exactly how many pieces and what kind are included with the apartment. Often tenants bring their own lamps, desks, tables and chairs and a weir-fumished looking living room may become a bare one without coffee table, couch, chair, lamp, end table, TV, pictures, rug and knickknacks. If there are four beds, Ije sure there are 4 mattresses and 4 boxsprings. Some people like to sleep with only a mattress on the floor if you want to sleep in a normal bed (legs & all) find out where the rest of the bed is and what condition it is in. Be sure to inspect the kitchen and bathroom fixtures. Stove and oven do they work properly? Turn on a burner does it catch the flame quickly? Is there excessive gas odor? Refrigerator and freezer do they work properly? How often must the freezer compartment be defrosted? When defrosting does the melted ice drain onto the floor as our refrigerator does? Check the door handle, hinges on the various compartments do they work and arc they likely to fall off? The sink check the,faucets. Do they leak? Many leaks can be fixed by a single washer make sure the landlord installs that single washer. If you take apart the plumbing, you’re responsible for putting it back. Check the sink in the b.athroom. Note the shower stall how forcefully does the water spray frpm the shower head? Check drainage. Spend a minute noting how many lighting fixtures per room. Which ones remain when the present tenants leave? Note any wiring sticking out from the walls. Not only is it an ugly decoration, but it’s - - - - — - — — — dangerous. Since you’ll be looking at your potential apartments during these cold months, ask about storm windows. Some landlords do not furnish storm windows and use sheets of plastic which have to be nailed around the inside of th window. They do not cut down your gas bill by any measurable means. Remember, most thermostats are located..in hallways or living rooms. Bedrooms are at the extremities of the apartment. When you set the thermometer at 70 degrees, the hallway, bathroom and living room arc the heated rooms. Temperatures in the bedrooms where students spind most of their time are several degrees colder. Buffalo winds rip right through old houses and a single pane of glass does not give much resistance. Check the attic and basements. Are they fire hazards? What docs the house look like in comparison to the others on the street? Take a good look. How many entrances are there to your apartment? Are there locks on all the doors? There are seven doors to my apartment on two of which there are locks, one which the landlord does not give the tenants a key for. Remember, almost all you own is in that apartment much less you, yourself. Finally, have legal aid check the lease. Even if it gets a clean bill of health from them, make sure you know exactly what is expected of you and the landlord. Some leases list just duties of the tenants, but no responsibilities of the landlord. One last word —. Student Association has a tenants’ file of landlords and apartments. Use it. In 205 Norton is a folder evaluating the area’s hpusing and landlords. The information is supplied by the tenants for the students and no one else. You’ll know who to avoid and who to prefer. Hopefully, you’ve read through this letter. If so, I think you’ll be much better prepared to follow up on inspecting apartments. Remember, your lease runs for 9-12 months, and you’ll be responsible for what happens during that time. There are a lot of very good landlords and landladies in the area. Don’t be charmed by a smooth talker. Good luck. — - Robin Ward The Spectrum Vol. 24, No. 70 Friday, Editor-in-Chief 5 April by Barry Kaplan Through the unique characteristics of our mass media universe, our ears, eyes and basic sensibilities have been assaulted by a barrage of diverse and conflicting reports pertaining to supposedly simple and inconsequential events. Especially during a period when the news seems quite stale, or when there is no news at all, the media has to fill space by creating and sensationalizing items that would normally remain buried in some obscure police file or trivia contest. However, each publication creates its own unique version essentially rewriting the news story or interpreting it in order to make it almost impossible for the reader to find out what - really happened. For instance, take this newsworthy item hot off the AP wire: “In Buffalo, a spotted black-and-white dog bit an administrator of the local Student Union. The official who was unidentified, is in satisfactory condition in Meyer Hospital suffering from shock and a bruised ego.” Now, let us investigate how various purveyors of the printed word recreate this incident for the slavering masses. The Spectrum: “Today a nefarious plot by Bernard Gelbaum was uncovered as a high official of the Administration was brutally assaulted by killer dogs, trained and fed by this naughty man in Hayes Hall. This incident occurred on either the 4th, 5th or 6th of April, and is another example of the calculated campaign to discredit the opponents of some person or another. At this point we are really not too sure of the facts, however . . .” The organ of the Progressive Labor Party or any other of those supposedly radical groups: “Another example of revolutionary brotherhood occurred today when one of our oppressed minority groups struck a blow for freedom and revolted against its bourgeoisie masters. This herioc act is supported by all of the oppressed classes as an act of class consciousness, and as an attempt to overthrow the chains that bind us to a decadent, fascist, imperialist, and brutal system. This act is the first blow in the general worldwide revolution against the ruling classes, and we must all rally around and support the courage of the dog. We will have a protest march today leaving from Norton Hall in order to demonstrate worker/student solidarity with this oppressed dog, now languishing in a tiny, cold, dirty, capitalist, dog pound.” The printed rag of the Young American for Freedom would probably say this: ‘Today a blow was struck for individuality and freedom of expression. Untrammeled by stifling government laws, an enterprising mulatto broke all the rules and vented his feelings about certain regulations by going to the lazy bureaucrat and telling him exactly what he felt. As Americans, we have been buried under a rising tide of socialistic subversive legislation designed to weaken our moral fiber, destroy basic values, and create an undue reliance upon Government to carry out the wishes of the people. As Americans, we must support this brave action as one recourse of our people to radical, indecent college professors. Of course we musn’t forget our professional journals, for without these bizarre manifestations occur. Let us see how three so-called intellectual digests handle this matter. The American Historical Review; “A recent manifestation of inherent societal tensions revealed itself on one or our centers of higher learning in a unique and particular manner. (1) A descendant of the wild wolves that once roamed North America reverted to its wild characteristics in a violent attack reminiscent of atavistic peasant rebellions that seek to restore an older and outmoded form of society. (2) This attack uncovers many historical tensions and trends which other historians have ignored due to their rigid and outmoded concepts of historiography. (3) For instance ...” 1.

Alfred E. Neuman, The Meaning of History in the Mind of a Two Year Old (1956, Juvenile Insipity Press) How about a journal devoted to psychology: “The Freudian, Jungian conceptual metamorphosis evinced in the lateral arterial framework of the inner verbal slavering control center, is a methodological tool to understand the inherent tensions resulting from too many children, an uncaring father, promiscuous mother, and loo much responsibility at an easily-influenced age, resulting in usage of verbal devices for hostile acts. One method of treating this common affliction is the use of a binding, restrictive, leather protective device to ward off memories of this unhappy puppyhood, and convince the subject that inner frustrations should not be transferred to symbolic father figures. This device, colloquially titled a ‘muzzle,” is .. The topper would probably be a journal devoted to sociology, and if any of my readers have ever attempted to read a sociology text, yotl' will understand why.

In rigorous methodological fashion in incipient sociologists must scientifically coordinate the dysfunctional/functional coordinate morality, aware of the redundant puppyhood mentality that bites through poor research.

The NYSA '(formerly New York Student Lobby) held its third conference at -Ithaca College, emphasizing unity and communication among its 25 member colleges. The NYSA wants to form a lasting and effective student organization dealing with all student interests, starting with the decriminalization of marijuana. In the past, organizations similar to NYSA such as College Institute Student Government Association (CISGA), a group of representatives from two year colleges, have originated and died, due to lack of cooperation and financial support. ‘They quibble over insignificant matters at conferences, such as Robert’s Rules of Order and how many votes a college should get,” asserted David Westgate, a representative from Broome Community College. However, members of the NYSA feel their group will not die out. “Financially, it would be an advantage in the long run, for a school to invest in NYSA’s causes. The school would be receiving the benefits of the reform NYSA is fighting for,” Mr. Westgate explained. - Wide range of issues Representatives to the conference are optimistic students will be willing to contribute their financial support because they feel the NYSA is fighting not only to benefit the students, but it is fighting to protect the students. NYSA is working for open transcript files, tuition assistance legislation, student voter registration at local colleges, student say in tenure, the repeal of taxes on textbooks, and the decriminalization of the marijuana laws. They are fighting politically, claim NYSA supporters. All NYSA member colleges pledge money in order to establish a lobbying force in Albany to influence with state legislators. Other organizations have never done this, NYSA organizers contend. NYSA vows not to make the mistake of limiting its efforts to one objective, claiming to be concerned with all matters concerning students. “Organizations dealing with one subject only die quickly, because their scope is narrow. As soon as the one subject is settled, the organization folds,” Mr. Westgate pointed out. and poor organization by Jenny Cheng Spectrum Staff Writer It is the intent of the New York Student Association (NYSA) to lobby in the State Legislature for the benefit of students across the state. This organization will serve public and private universities alike. The intent is indeed commendable, but it would be a shame to see this organization “fizzle out” due to the lack of cooperation and participation from the State’s student population. However, if the NYSA continues to experience the same lack of organization and unnecessary delays in action as it has in the past year, its fate will be the same as those organizations preceding it, who are now defunct. On February 1-3, 1974, the NYSA was to have held a major conference “establishing courses of action in relation to federal and state and community issues.” However, no such course of action has been initiated as of last weekend’s conference. At that conference, representatives met for three hours to write and distribute “statements of intent” and interest questionnaires to colleges throughout the state, a task which should have taken place last year before the conferences. Discussion of the marijuana issue has not taken place yet. It appears the NYSA has fallen behind in its promises. Is this due to irresponsible, ineffective leadership? It would appear so. An organization such as the NYSA could very well be “the most effective student union seen in the state,” as long as it reaches the student population first before a plague of impatient disgust overwhelms them. Otherwise, students may forget the NYSA while it continues to stall for “organization” time. UUAB TONIGHT LA COLLECTIONEUSE Conference Theatre Dir. Rohmer France - Organization, community stressed The NYSA are attending to establish strong communication between colleges. Institutions such as Columbia University and Broome Community College, are “region heads” which contact student governments of schools in their respective areas. Newsletters and information-gathering questionnaires are distributed and returned to Ithaca College. Each member college elects a representative to send to NYSA conferences 3-4 times a year. The NYSA is also assisting smaller colleges with problems concerning the establishment of a local student government. “The real strength of the organization lies within the spirit of those involved,” concluded Kenny May, coordinator of NYSA. “We believe students ofNew York State can be united.” COFFEEHOUSE KENNY HALL Norton Union - 9:00 p.m and the Name award winning film "GRAVEL SPRINGS FIFE & DRUM Address MIDNITE SHOW Conference Theatre - Saturday April 6 State CHLOE IN THE AFTERNOON Conference Theatre Dir.

With help from the director, each actor must use the stereotvpe he is given as the role's superstructure a point of instant definition of character for the audience then flesh out the character (develop an interesting individual) in physical and verbal style using his own comic imagination. Finally, he must use his talents as a polished actor to make the role consistent. Returning to Buffalo after his part in last year's Child's Play is Donald Moffat as the miser. Although there's been something of a fuss made over him, I caution you not to believe it. He wasn't so very hot last season, and I maintain he's no better this time around. His trouble is not a lack of enthusiasm or concentration Moffat really throws himself into the part. Nor is it a question of technique he has a bagful of actors' tricks that vitalize small snatches of the play. His experience as an actor goes far to make his characterization consistent. — — — — Skin flint Moffat's'problem is his overall concei it of the miserl stereotype. The miser is cheap, conceited, and sensitive about his age; y'know, a proto-Jack Benny. Like Benny's flawless comic creation, the miser's should be broad and rich, full of THE cMISER by Jay Boyar Spectrum Arts Editor mugging Moffat's portrayal is broad, but it's also hokey. The reason is that he pretty much accepts the miser's characteristics without looking for a reason behind them. Moliere's comedy can be just comedy for the audience, but it has got to be more for the actor and the sensitive observer. Maybe the miser's concern for the money he's buried beneath the ground is a substitute for the lost love of his (never-mentioned and presumably-dead) wife. Certainly, his sick love of money is no more intense than his cook's obsession with food or the young lovers' enchantment with each other. Moffat makes his miser crotchety with a lust for money; the miser's real feeling should be more like a displaced love. When, in the second act, his money is stolen, instead of throwing himself around the stage and ranting in a thinly comic frenzy, the miser should evoke a touching, confused pite tragic relief, as it were. The miser, after all, is not just an abstract, crotchety old man. The reason why he has a perverted love of money is the key to the play. Without the tension this key provides, Moffat is, finally, boring. 1974 seems to be shaping up as 'The Year of the Codger" at Studio Arena Theatre (SAT). Irver since January, the playhouse has presented nothing but comedies centered around old men. First, there was That Championship Season (strictly speaking, a tragicomedy), then Flint, next There's A Girl In My Soup, and now until April 21, Moliere's The Miser. In this last case, not only is the miser an old man, but The Miser, written in 1668, is an old play. Usually, SAT presents a play or two per year that is something of a "hoary classic," and usually that play is something by Shakespeare. In foregoing Shakespeare this year in favor of Moliere, SAT has made a rather cautious decision. The decision is a shrewd one because: (a) SAT has always done Shakespeare poorly, (b) Moliere's The Miser is a more fun for everyone while Shakespeare Tough-guy comedy (despite his comedies) is most often considered serious As Valere, lover of the miser's daughter Elise, Leon theatre, (c) one problem in presenting Shakespeare to Russom is headed wrong 100%. It is impossible to like Valere modern, non-literary audiences is the alien, difficult style of or to understand him as he is played by Russom. Where he English he used. Moliere's French plays must be translated should express love for Elise, Russom is arrogant. Where he anyway, so they can be "legitimately" translated into should be playful and crafty, he seems malicious, hateful. At easily-understood English, (d) while Moliere's reputation is one point in the play, the miser asks him, "Don't you blush not so big as Shakespeare's, he is sufficiently recognized so for your crime?" referring to his suspicion that Valere has that The Miser can fill the bill as this season's "hoary filched his moneybox. Valere thinks that the miser is upset classic." because the young man "seduced" his daughter. The real crime, though, is Russom's poor performance.

Speaking of the characters themselves, critic Eric Bently has said that in much comedy, "the actors always play the same roles: Mr. A always plays the imbecile old man, Mr. B always the boastful soldier, Mr. C the romantic lover, Mr. D the clown, and so on." 9I �4 Commentary r Oscars: boring showcase for the 'best'of the movie industry piece gown that covered her from scalp to toe or Cher who wore a scarf over her breasts, a train down her back, and something hideous in her hair. Will you run out to see what these people will do in their next movie if they can be so outlandish in "real life"? by Mark Kinchanbaum Spectrum Arts Staff I was bored and disgusted after devoting three hours to watching this year's Academy Awards. Why was this so? The show was supposedly put together and sponsored by the "best" people in the motion picture industry. So why Behind the wean when doing her gardening. A couple of the presentees seemed bombed out of their minds. Without the necessary glamour, the awards lose their appeal and the show becomes boring. Still writing I'm waiting for the day when Americans Win refuse to watch the Academy Awards because they will realize that a full night's rest is more beneficial than a sure guarantee of getting bored annually. Only then, when it no longer becomes profitable to gain publicity through the awards will thay have any true worth. So the day when the Academy rents out a Church basement rather than the L.A. Music Center for the presentations will be the day when an Oscar may become a genuine recognition of fine work. was I bored? Why did a streaker receive the biggest laugh of the evening when professional comedians and writers were hired? Or was he a last minute addition to give the show a boost? Why did the rpikes squeak when Dyan Cannon sang if the "best" audio men in the industry belong to the Academy? Why was the picture often blurry when cameramen who "know their stuff" were available? What is wrong with Hollywood's annual glamour event? To begin with, the show is pretentious. Supposedly it is aired in order to reward excellence in motion pictures and to encourage future fine work in the industry. But is this so? Showy If this is the show's function, why is a television extravaganza necessary? My doubts of the event's validity were immediately nurtured when the President of the Academy of Motion Pictures opened the show with a justification of the whole kit and caboodle. The show ended with an abridged rehashing of the same by Jack Lemmon. My doubts increased when I realized that the awards most viewers want to see are saved till the end. Then I realized that Tatum O'Neal was nominated for Best Supporting Actress when in actuality, she was the leading lady of Paper Moon. Was the Academy afraid to honor a little girl for an outstanding performance and thereby upstage some adult actresses? My doubts peaked when I became aware how few of the nominees even bother to show up. The reason why I finally came to this conclusion. The awards are given for no other reason than to promote the movie industry. In addition, the viewer has to realize that the show is Tiger. He's already got a Rolls. I saw it when he drove up.

The Spectrum Page thirteen . �re* $en audio markets clearly lay by Mark Tobak in pre-built components. Today, In the early days of home hi-fi, most speaker enclosures were constructed by hand. In addition, many people built their own equipment cabinets. Kit electronics and even kit turntables.were popular, and several prestige manufacturers such as Klipsch and McIntosh, offered some components in kit form. In fact, hi-fi in general was considered more of a "hardware" hobby than- a musical one because of all the individual work that was associated with it. with the renewed cultural emphasis on do-it-yourself projects and the economic .imperative of personal cost-cutting, kits seem to be gaining attention in the hi-fi marketplace; and manufacturers of kit-type equipment are currently reporting increased sales. Connect wire 'A' to rod 'B'. For many people, kit-building is fun and enjoyable, and there is much to recommend it. But it is important to money. This is often true. But there ere always trade-offs in some other area. For instance, Dynaco products, when purchased pre-assembled, are warranteed for one year, parts and labor. Dynaco kits are only warranteed for parts. This means that if your kit doesn't operate properly (unless it's due to a defective part), you must pay a service charge to have the kit repaired. Another manufacturer, Harman-Kardon, charges an "hourly rate" to repair kit-versions of their Citation 12 power amplifier that have been incorrectly assembled. The case ip which the matter of actual savings becomes questionable is in discussing "Heathkits," manufactured by the Heath Company of Benton Harbor, Michigan. Although Heathkits offer the beginner excellent benefits apart from cost considerations (local service centers and free advice on any product), few Heathkits offer any advantage over wisely-chosen, comparably-priced pre-built components. For example For example, the Heath AR-29 receiver, a very competent unit, is priced at $299.95; discounts are unavailable. This Heath model could be considered more or less comparable in price to the Sherwood S-7900A receiver, which is available for about $305 at any decent mail-order ... "Sherwood's S-7900A, judged a better buy than a comparably-priced Heathkit." In the sixties, inexpensive, pre-built, acoustic suspension speaker systems were being manufactured in increasing numbers, and pre-assembled audio electronics had become big business aiming at a wide market. Although kits did not actually lose much ground in this period, the expanding understand that kits are not the simple and clear-cut matters of "do-it-yourself, save, and feel the pride of accomplishment" (how much pride is there in following instructions?) that the catalogs suggest. One of the notions about kits that the catalogs tend to play up is that kits save house. Vet the AR-29 by Heath has only a little more than half the power of the Sherwood unit at similar distortion levels; and the tuner of the Sherwood S-7900A would seam, by any measurable characteristics, to be more than a shade better than AR-29's. The Sherwood model also includes a year-long warranty on parts and labor (plus two additional years on parts, essentially a useless condition as labor is the real expense in any repair) against a 90-day Heath warranty on parts. Again, remember that the Heath unit is in kit form. There is a service charge for the repair of kits constructed incorrectly, although the repair is free if a Heath part is the cause of any malfunction. But 90 days after any repair, you are again responsible for any problems that may arise. Still, the top-of-the-line Heath receiver, the AR-1500 at $379.95, ranks as a superb value. It has been referred to as the finest receiver available ($1200 Japanese imports notwithstanding) by several independent sources, including the major consumer journal and the Stereophile magazine, which lists only two receivers in its recommended products page; the AR-1500 and its predecessor, the AR-15. Therefore keep in mind that only selectively chosen kits can actually save you money, and any kit implies a commensurate sacrifice or risk in terms of potential repair costs. Mark Tobak, a University grad student, is the author of a forthcoming book on the current audio scene to be released this fall by Tobey Publishing of New Canaan, Connecticut.

It's always said that the best Cody is live Cody, so it shouldn't come as no real surprise to ya that this fourth release by the Commander & Co. is their best yet. This band is the only one sight direction Live contains much of Cody's best, previously-unrecorded work and strikes a nice balance between their country and rock roots. On the C&W side, "Seeds and Stems," "Sunset On The Sage" and "Crying Time" keep things sane, but when the boys decide to rock, look out!!! "Good Rockin' Tonite" sets the tone in an explosive fashion and Johnny Horton's "I'm Coming Home" and Gene Vincent's "GIT IT" sure do keep the juices flowing. "Oh Momma Momma," an original, shows off Billy C. Farlow and Bill Kircher as true descendents of Sun Records, while their rendition of "Riot in Cellblock No. 9" features the plucking today doing justice to rockabilly music a'tall. Their country tunes aren't third-rate burnt-out psychedelic mutations such as those served up by certain better-left-unsaid bands, and when they rock out, they ain't doing a parody of Gene Vincent or Carl Perkins, they're paying tribute. These boys' hearts are pure, their roots are intact, and they're unique by virtue of being one of 29-year-old perfect master himself. Commander Cody, in his best vocalizin' since "Hot Rod Lincoln." This particular piece of vinyl climaxes with another Farlow original, 'Too Much Fun" ("too much fun, too much fun, one or two things / ain’t never done, I ain’t never had too much fun"). and a smokin' version of Roy Orbison's "Mean Woman Blues." Commander Cody and His Lost Planet Airmen specialize in energy, and, in the words of Brother James, if ya got ants in your pants and need to dance, this band is yours. And better still, they'll be appearing in Clark Gym on Saturday night. The best Cody is live Cody. Don't miss it. T.B. Sheets — Todd Rundgren Todd (Warners) Beatnik jive a la the Jetsons. Post-Orwellian o'd: and McLuhan sits astride his electronic extension and murmurs giggly, because this here Todd the Mod has lashed his greasy heart to the bow of the machine and is singing Kaddish for the Last Revolution. The Wizard the star, true: he's all that and a lot more. Rotwang toying with his city. Todd's the time swimmer lossing all the bening evil of the cog-god. Let him into your electricity you won't be sorry. And if you can't do that, the least you could do is cut off your ear and set it besides your vinyl translator and listen to: Todd. He takes on technology and breathes the technics of mechanism circularly and without abandon, creating the least likely tape-looped lithurgies you'll ever hear. Hymnals to protomorphic insensibility. Todd's not afraid to take us along on his nova bivouac. S'matter a fact, he's always too busy trying to encourage us to traipse along for the ride. Like a television set with the heebie-jeebies, Todd's bravura leaves you in the throes of terminal-sonically-induced-aphasia. But enough of this metaphoric whizbang! If you consider that A Wizard, a True Star is longer than this here record if you consider the sublime beauty of "Hello It's Me" on the first Nazz Ip if you consider the lackadaisical manner with which he tosses off lines like: "No, no we need more humanity" if consider the obvious commercial potential of titles like "Everybody's going to Heaven/King Kong Reggae" or "Number One Lowest Common Denominator" or "Heavy Metal Kids" then you'll have to consider this an inferior effort by the Runt. On the other hand or other side of your frontal lobes if yo' gassed on genius and skinny beings in skin-tight space suits with green, blue, white, prismatic hair, and a geetar which performs surgery on your soul, then you'll obviously enjoy this Todd venture. As for this here, android, android, android than you I'm the kinda person what remembers the days of the beat scene, Hubert Selby.

Another photographic exhibition in the University area is found at CEPA, 3051 Main Street. The work is by John Wood, currently teaching at SUNY at Alfred. There are 41 photographs that deal with the photographic process, the photographer's work as image-maker; at another level, they present to us a "white man, rndian, land" relationship.

The series of images deals with the people who live on Custer Street, all of whom are found sitting in the same chair. Forman's concern for how the people react in front of the camera and project themselves from that chair may reveal some understanding about them as people. If you take the time to look at the images and let them come to you on their own terms, the intent of the subject will approach you on some level of understanding. For instance, standing in front of a mirror, realizing that you're being recorded or sensing that you're being watched, brings about an awareness and projection of self. Stepping back and viewing the work as a whole piece, you realize that the people that Forman photographed all reacted to the photographer. Contrast this to the picture machine that yields four tiny portraits for 50 cents. In that situation the subject reacts only to the camera, the box that he is sitting in, and himself. When viewing this form of image, you should be aware of the conditions under which the influences of the environment, the photographer, image was recorded and the realization that one is being recorded.

He added that the Finance Committee plans to utilize all means of input including professional surveys to see how the undergraduate organizations and individuals want their money spent.

The oarsmen, who open their season tomorrow in Ithaca, have had to cope with cold and icy conditions as they prepared for the upcoming season. The Bulls, who row at the West Side Rowing Club, have had to curtail some of their practice sessions because of ice in the Black Rock Channel. Since the boats are only % of an inch thick, a single piece of ice could cause irreparable damage. Coach Bob Uhl will be at the helm for ,diis second year as skipper of the oarsmen. While weather, men, each of whom has at least tyrtS years experience each. Senior Larry Palys was a member of the 1971 West Side Rowing Club national championship squad, while Buffalo'will have both varsity and junior varsity boats attempting to improve on last year’s performance. The Bulls finished first in the lightweight four man race, and second in the lightweight eight at the Metropolitan Regatta in New York City. Crew, like many other sports; has divisions according to the size of the participants. A lightweight crew may not average over 1SS pounds per man with no single member over 160 pounds. A heavyweight boat has no restrictions. While the usual crew of the boat includes eight rowers and a coxswain, there are individual, pairs and four man races at certain regattas (meets). The Bulls varsity boat includes eight bowman Tom Mazzone and Charlie Sickler have competed in the Royal Canadian Henley Regatta. Five of the eight members on the varsity boat are returning from last year’s squad. Coxswain Mark tohen also returns to command the varsity boat. The coxswain is the quarterback of the boat as he steers and calls out commands to the rowers. of years. It just doesn’t happen overnight," added Uhl. The Bulls have been working out this past winter, running at Memorial Auditorium. A recent addition to the team has been the ergometer, a strength measuring machine. It has been utilized to get the maximum amount of work from the oarsmen. DilUngham Cup The Bulls will be competing with Canisius, Buffalo State and Ithaca for The Dillingham Cup when they open their season tomorrow. Coach Uhl noted that Ithaca might have an advantage since they have been working with an indoor tank, which simulates actual water conditions indoors. Water moves in the tank, but the boat does not. The Bulls will also make appearances at the Buffalo State Invitational, Mercyhurst Invitational, and Metropolitan Championships before going to the Dad Vail National Championships in Added experience Uhl, commenting on the squad prospects for the coming season, noted that the extra experience had made this year’s team better than last year’s. “Last year’s team is back except for two members,” said Uhl. ‘The experience means so much because of the amount of time we have to teach guys to row.

I still feel that I have to go with fJimJ Zadora in center field, Gorman in left and probably Joe Scaffidi in right. Scaffidi hit .333 down south with three RBIs, and he just did a good job. We just have to come through and hit the ball,” Monkarsh added. Hoping to improve their record, the baseball Bulls will embark on a five-game, four-day road trip that may be crucial to their hopes for the NCAA District II playoffs. Buffalo will face Fairfield today and tomorrow, before meeting Seton Hall twice on Sunday and Princeton on Monday afternoon. “I feel that we’ve got to split with Fairfield, Low ERA Niewczyk, who will start one of Sunday’s beat Seton Hall and beat Princeton,” said Coach Bill Monkarsh. “We’ll go with [Bill] Lasky and [John] pivotal contests, posted a 2.03 ERA in Florida, Buszka against Fairfield, [Jim] Riedel and [Jim] second among Buffalo hurlers. The southpaw walked Niewczyk against Seton Hall and [Mike] Dean nine batters in 13-1/3 innings, a comparatively low against Princeton. Niewczyk was the best pitcher total for the Bull staff.

The Bull mentor stressed the importance of a hitting attack. “We’ve got to get some good hitting and some good defense,” Monkarsh commented. 14. Fry “achieved” his total in only five innings.

For example, there’s emphasis on group medicine and preventive medicine, and the growing specialty of “family physician.” Whatever your interest, there are few specialties which are not being practiced in today’s Air Force. The physician starting his practice in civilian life has to take into account the cost of setting up an office. The physician commencing his practice in the Air Force does not. He finds his office established for him. Supplies and equipment readily available. He has many options available to him when treating patients. For example, he can consult with Air Force specialists. He also has referral to other Air Force facilities via aeromedical evacuation. Last, but not least, are the satisfactions that come with having the opportunity for regular follow-ups, and a missed appointment rate that is practically nil.

The supplemental budget consists of items not funded in the regular budget but later deemed worthy of financing. Although uncertain about the exact figures involved, Dr. Neal surmised that several hundred thousand dollars would be the proper purchase necessary to equipment. He added that if the money comes through as expected in the supplemental budget, “there will be some discomfort” in equipping the Amherst facilities on schedule. The “shelf items” (such as projectors and movie screens) usually take by Amy Dunkin Campus Editor If sufficient funds are not appropriated within the next few weeks, the opening of several new facilities on the Amherst Campus will be postponed indefinitely. Presently, the State Division of Budgets, which must approve all state expenditures, has placed a freeze on capital funds which would pay for equipping the Creative Crafts Center, the performance theater, and the large lecture hall in the Ellicott Complex. John Neal, assistant vice-president for Facilities Planning, is optimistic thit the • v>r.v 30 days for delivery and can be obtained without any trouble, he said. However, he explained that “special order items” which average 120 days for delivery would arrive sometime after the fall semester had begun, delaying the opening of the Crafts Center. In the event that funds for equipment voted down in the supplemental budget, Dr. Neal said the University would ask for them immediately in next year’s capital budget. are One staff member of the Crafts Center pointed out some of the repercussions of postponing the opening of the Crafts Center. “The Communications College [crafts] is looking to merge with College B [arts],” she said. “If we can’t open the center in September, College B will be on the new campus and Communications will be stuck here.” Howie Schapiro, Student Association Student Affairs coordinator, criticized the Albany budget officials for not considering the particular problems in the transition from the Main Street Campus to Amherst. “The freeze affects us differently than other SONY schools that aren’t in the construction phase,” he said. “They will put the students in the Ellicott dorms without providing facilities. The first chance the State gets of correcting the situation, it doesn’t live up to its responsibilities,” Mr. Schapiro added. In spite of the concern on the part of University officials, a spokesman for the State Division of the Budget was unfamiliar with any freeze in capital funds, for Amherst or otherwise. After questioning a number of officials in his department, he reported that no one he had talked to “had even heard of the Ellicott Complex.” History 100 Multi-media approach to history by Richard Korman Contributing Editor John Wayne was never worse. He would strut here and swagger there to deliver one tired cliche after another. Instead of the usual quarterhorse, the Duke is astride his favorite bulldozer; fighting off the ‘Japs’ on some South Pacific island and clearing the way for the United States Air Force at the same time. Wayne is Captain of the Navy’s “Fighting Seabees” (Construction Battalion C.B.’s Get it?), and is killed in the midst of inspired heroics, and why am I required to watch this insipid movie anyway? Because, according to the film notes, the ‘Fighting Seabees’ is “a fascinating document on the attitudes and concerns felt by America’s leaders about the suitability of American culture for total war. This is really a reverse Western whose message is that customary American anarchism, no matter how heroic, must give way to military discipline. "That’s why. - - « Instructive movies And that’s pretty much the way History 100, professor William Allen’s noble experiment, treats its impressive array of World War II films. “The Fighting Seabees is incredibly instructive as to American attitudes at the time,” commented Dr. Allen. Movies, along with a variety of other techniques, are integral parts of the course for the insights they offer into their era. History 100 is a multi-disciplinary, multi-media look at World War II. It combines lectures, seminars, readings, guest speakers and films in an attempt to provide students with aovel approach to what can easily be a dull, boring topic. All aspects of the Second World War are considered through a diversity of methods to give the student an understanding and empathy for that period. Although it is very much the result of his hard work and preparation, Dr. Allen denies total credit for the course. The History Department’s Undergraduate Program Committee originally recommended that a new-style introductory level course be offered, Dr. Allen explained. He then observed some of the methods employed in a Williams College course which stresses historical techniques. “I’ve come to believe that this University is woefully underdeveloped with respect to teaching,” Dr. Allen maintained. He stressed the importance of employing new techniques in teaching; Many instructors want to enrich their courses, he explained, but simply don’t know how to go about it. “Everything 1 found out, I had to find out by myself,” he said. Funded last year largely by a State University of New York (SUNY) Research Committee grant. History 100 will have to depend mostly on money from within the department next semester. Dr. Allen is fairly confident that the money can be raised. Last semester’s enrollment of 130 was something of a disappointment to those involved with the course. A computer error which made it appear as if students would have to spend most of their waking hours in class if they A colloquium on History 100, last semester’s multi-media experimental course on Worl War II, will be held Thursday in Room 4 Diefendorf HaO at 1:30 p.m. Problems with the course and possible future solutions will be discussed.

All are invited. registered for History 100 kept enrollment well below the hoped-for 300 students. This year, many more participants will be required to justify the rather expensive experiment. “Unless we get a higher enrollment,” Dr. Allen warned, “I don’t know if we can go on.” FDR to Hitler’s mother Actual demands upon the student were not great. Required reading consisted of four books, including the Painted Bird, a novel by Jerzy Kosinski, and Victor Frankl’s Man’s Search for Meaning, a philosophical approach life for concentration camp victims. Lectures and films, along with a film reaction diary, are mandatory. Seminars for question-and-answer discussions are entirely optional. There is a final essay examination and a term project or paper required. Term projects have ranged from simulated radio broadcast recordings to original sculpture exhibitions. Dr. Allen’s lectures provide a necessary background to all the other materials presented.Tie is eloquent without being condescending, and usually interesting, too. One problem Dr. Allen acknowledges is the attempt to present top much material in a single lecture, but he promises to take that into account next semester. Each week supplementary readings are distributed for discussion at the seminar meetings. They range from one of FD.R.’s famous ‘fireside chats,’ to Winston Churchill’s speech to the British House of Commons on the occasion of 'the Dunkirk evacuation, to Bemto —continued on paga 13— �"*111 members of the Colleges to participate in IRC if they paid t no fee at all. »} Busing problems discussed Mr. Weber criticized the IRC offices for “not being open the hours they, should have been.” He noted that the records and files “were unstructured, they should be more dates stress credibility, dorm elections 7 permanent.” Mr. Weber observed. “Anything that got done was done by the Student Association.

Mr. Weber believes that the Busing Committee, of which he was Chairman this year, should become a branch of the IRC executive committee, and should “last as long as/the busing problem exists.” He also stressed that “more innovative busing methods should be looked into.” He hopes that enough people will join IRC next year so that free or low-cost busing to hockey and basketball games and other off-campus activities can be maintained. Many problems with North to Main Campus bus service, Mr. Rose explained, originated with budget cuts made in Albany. “We will.work with the Administration’s ties to Albany,” he asserted, adding: “It is a matter of getting to people in charge and bitching enough, and of student input.” .

Support ofintramurals hy State to he proposed bvy Dave Gerincer A bill which would provide for New York State to fund intramural sports at various State University campuses may be introduced shortly in the State Legislature. The bill would have the effect of Lightening the load of the Student Association, which presently funds intramurals from its mandatory activities fee. ‘The bill gives S310,000 to the State University system for intramural sports,” reported Brian Rusk, a spokesman for University-area State Assemblyman Chester Hardt. Tt would be a great problem if we put in for a total appropriation because it would never pass. We may put it on a matching basis, the State to pay $210,000 and the students to pay $310,000. The bill hasn’t been introduced yet, because we have to get it' ironed out,” added Mr. Rusk, who wrote the bill. The measure will be supported in the Senate by local State Senator Jim McFarland. Mr. Rusk cited a potential problem: “We’re not sure partially Various possibilities allocation to sports. It might also say that the State would pay half, the school half, with the school putting in any more if they wanted to,” Mr. Brcisblatt continued. He also indicated that the State might pay its share without the school being obligated to match it. Mr. Breisblatt revealed the motivation behind the action: ‘The whole thing started when we went to SASU (Student Assembly of the State University). They totally rejected the idea, they wanted to set up an athletic committee. Stan Morrow and myself then called up every school in the SUNY system. The $310,000 represents the amount spent on recreation and intramurals in the SUNY system. Jon Dandes (former SA President) and Dave Saleh (former SA vice President) helped us out in talking to legislators. Student Athletic Review Board (SARB) Chairman Warren Breisblatt, who worked for the bill, discussed several possibilities regarding the bill’s working. ‘The school and State might split the cost of intramurals and recreatipn, but there would be more money made available for sports,” Mr. Breisblatt indicated. ‘The bill thi 73-7'' might say that thr hav Dandes helpful Mr. Rusk had much praising Mr. Dandes: ‘The only reason that the mandatory activities fees arc still allowed is that they pay for sports,” Mr. Rusk disclosed. “People like Jon Dandes lobbied successfully. I’d say that we owe it to him that the fee was kept.” if we just want to give the money outright. We don’t want a university to withdraw the funding that they are already providing.” > deadline (today) for The fact that there is a introducing bills in the State Senate (until the next and that bills may be introduced in the session) Assembly only through the rules committee at this date may hamper efforts at getting a bill passed. “It’s late in the session and will probably come through next year, but I can’t guarantee anything for this year,” Mr. Rusk noted. “If we had known about this need earlier, we would have moved on it.” - - ' IN N.Y.

The Spectrum Wednesday, 3 April 1974 . '• �/ * - Late grades vs. Dandes The problem of late grades has been with the University for quite a while, but through the efforts of the past Student Association administration, especially former SA President Jon Dandes, the issue is now being attacked. In July 1973 a memorandum was sent to “all Provosts and Deans of Schools” from Undergraduate Dean Charles Ebert on-the subject of late submission of grades by professors. “Year after year we are running into a situation which, in many cases produces a real hardship situation for our students... Acceptance to graduate school, assignment of graduate assistantships, pre-medical appraisals, and job applications on the part of the students arc delayed. And all this could be prevented.” Over 16,000 students were missing grades at The Spectrum it published three a week, on Monday, Wednesday and Friday, during the regular academic year; and once a week, on Friday, during the by montht; summer The Spectrum Student Periodical, Inc., H.

He established the 14-day deadline and added: 'The issue of late grades is taken very seriously, and rightfully so, by the student body in general, and by the present student government in particular. I urge all faculty members to cooperate with this necessary and reasonable policy on submitting final grades to avoid embarrassment and possibly grievance cases.” After all these attempts at preventing late grades on January 4, 1974, the established deadline for grade submissions, 2662 grades representing 123 sections were missing. Forty-three departments had sections in which late grades were turned in; notably English, with 27 sections missing, College E, with 13 sections missing, and Political Science with 12 sections missing. Although this is a definite improvement over previous semesters, SA did not feel the difference was substantial or enough to leave the problem to the good nature of instructors. On January 22, SA had started to file grievances against S8 University faculty members. PSYCHOLOGY Seeking an MA Degree?

Mr. Daades announced that SA had retaiaed aa attorney to fie daaa action civil suits against any instructor who had net submitted his grades at least two weeks after die end of final exams. The action would be taken against professors due to the violation of contractual obligations, Mr. Dandes explained. “All grades must be delivered to the Office of Admission and Records not later than 14 calendar days following the end of the final examination period in any given semester," vice president for Academic Affairs Bernard Gelbaum had declared in a November memorandum. This two-week deadline can be compared to the 72-hour deadline for grades at the State Universities at Stony Brook, Harpur and Cortland, or the 48-hour deadline at Albany, Buffalo State, Brockport, University of Michigan, Penn State and UCLA. f’rll ■All*' '* V • J • i \Jww "'• Yt'vV.df * •• • i/V'VS I---' •■. •f kv-va * £• * • The response from the academic departments to these letters of grievance ranged from outright denial, to excuses of poor health, to total agreement with the grievance and the placement of a letter of censure into the confidential file of the professor. New SA President Frank Jackalone has voiced his concern over the problem of late grades. At this time no professor has yet been sued, however. Legal action will be taken against a professor if the submission of a late grade can directly be linked to the inability of a student to gain entrance to another university, to obtain financial aid, or to obtain employment, Mr. Jackalone declared.

When backed by an overwhelming military dominance in the area, Israel s obstinate refusal to the demands for the return of Arab lands was one thing. Continuation of this refusal in the face of a less-favorable military balance appears to be a last-ditch effort by Israel to hold onto gains made in a situation long since vanished. The Arab oil boycott against Western Europe and the United States which had threatened to cripple global economics was abandoned under pressure from the US. oil companies and as a token gesture of good will. But while the step toward rapprochment was being taken, Syria remained adamantly opposed to any easing of tensions with Israel, as well as opposing any concessions which would pave the way to a negotiated re-evaluation of the area’s power centers. It is understandable that the Syrians demand a settlement advantageous to them, but it is hard to fathom the persistence which has set them against both the Arab nations and the major superpowers which are, at least on the surface, pressuring for an immediate and lasting peace. What, if any, is the significance of the renewed outbreak of sporadic war in the Golan Heights? If it is a unilateral action on the part of Syria, without support from the other Arab states, then it would appear to be a futile effort reflecting an inability to grasp the changing political set-up in die Middle East. If the Syrian activities are secretly supported by the other Arab states, it means that all talk about eased tensions and chances for a lasting aimed at biding settlement are no more than delusion make will Arab re-militarization another war time until possible. the Western powers should not relegate the Israeli-Syrian fighting to a secondary, obscure and unimportant border skirmish. Such an attitude would seriously underestimate its true importance. Pressing a matters in other parts of the globe demand attention threatening breakup of the NATO alliance seems immensely more important, now that the flames of war - — Renewed fighting on the Israeli-Syrian front has now entered jts third week with little Hope for either a let-up in the intensity of' the battle or a quick negotiated settlement. The publicity-grabbing easing of tensions between Israel and the majority of its Arab neighbors (mainly Egypt) has overshadowed die battles which erupted recently in the Golan Heights, where tank artillery and infantry battles have turned the American-orchestrated cease-fire of last November into an irrelevant; oft-abrogated scrap of paper. The Middle East war which erupted last fall caused a stir throughout the world and brought about intensified diplomatic efforts to reach a settlement, before the events of war ran their course and the situation became totally uncontrollable. The fighting of the last few weeks has been little more than an afterthought to the world oil crisis, the US.-Western Europe difficulties, and the promised direct negotiations between Israel and the bulk of the Arab , states. This lack of attention is difficult to explain unless the radical shift in Mideast power politics within the last year is taken into consideration. Israel, despite internal conflicts, still maintains its hold on Arab lands acquired — State cuts art funds Financial difficulties may be in store for the Albright-Knox Art Gallery and the Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra because funds that would have gone to the State Council on the Arts have been excluded from the State budget. The Republican-controlled State Legislature passed the highest budget in history last week, totalling approximately S9.2 billion. This figure is $140.9 million below what Governor Malcolm Wilson had expected last January. $11.5 million of that deleted $140.9 million would have gone to the State Council on the Arts. After the budget was passed, the Legislature vetoed a Democratic-sponsored amendment calling for the restoration of the $11.5 million for the arts. Voting against the amendment which would provide the Cbuncil on the Arts with additional funding were Democratic Senator James D. Griffin and four Western New York Republican Senators: James T. McFarland of Tonawanda, Thomas F. McGowan of Buffalo, Lloyd H. Paterson of Niagara Falls, and Jess J. Present of Jamestown. Senator Joseph A. Tauriello, who had expressed concern about the fate of the Buffalo Philharmonic and other area art centers, failed to convince his colleagues to vote yes on the arts amendment. S.O.S Concern for the Philharmonic’s future prompted Ellie Dorrity of the Buffalo Philharmonic to contact radio station WPHD-FM for assistance. At her request, the station ran a series of ads over the. weekend, asking its listeners to send public service telegrams to their representatives, urging them to approve the budget appropriation for the State Council on the Arts. “We ran the ads because we felt it was for a good cause,” said WPHD's program director. — — Chinese course have cooled. But it was the Mideast conflict, after all, and its concomitant oil boycott, that precipitated the current Western crisis. Refusal to recognize the fighting on the Syrian front as a serious threat to the uneasy Mideast peace could very well lead to an all-out conflict dwarfing and making secondary problems the violence of last fall of long-term alliances a moot issue. -Michael O ’Neill — offered The Chinese Studies Program of the State University at Albany will offer an 102 intensive course in written and spoken Chinese in the summer, 19)4; Chi 101 August 2.

People were recruited and organized, but the project never got off the ground, and in time it was forgotten. Last August, however, a local high school wrote the University inquiring about the Corps. The letter was shifted from office to office until Russ Classman of CAC finally received it and looked into the possibilities of reviving the plan. After several unsuccessful inquiries to various departments and offices, Mr. Classman met with some success when Panic Theater agreed to do a benefit performance of their latest production, “Anything Goes.” to see the special performance. More than just TV “The production received an excellent response,” said Mr. Classman. “People who otherwise might have nothing but television to fill their hours had the opportunity to see a live production.” Many people from the participating organizations called to give their thanks and encourage more programs of this type. F uture productions of the Panic Theater will also be performed as part of the program, and Steve Porter is presently forming a Dance Production to serve as part of Corps. There are also plans for a Children’s Theater. The Corps hopes to perform for such organizations as Buffalo State Hospital and St. Joseph’s Center for Senior Citizens, but Mr. Classman noted that some organizations are still a little leery of the University and are reluctant to accept the proposals. CAC is seeking $9200 from SA for the University Performing Corps for next year, which would include the budget for Panic Theater.

The Canon F-1 is the camera that can fulfill any photographic task to which you put it. itcan stand up to your ability in any situation. Naturally, a great camera like the F-1 won’t ensure great results. That’s up to you. Yet—it's nice to know that your camera can grow with you as a photographer. Part of the reason for this is the F-1 system. Since it was designed in totality, it offers total performance. There is nothing “added on" in the F-1 system. Everything works as it was designed to, and integrates superbly with everything else. You'll spend less time worrying <t operating the camera than in ing.

A study published in Nature reported that huge doses of THC, the active chemical in marijuana, * increased the immune responses in mice, NORML Grass controversy, cont. Errors are claimed in research by John Christ Special to The Spectrum (CPS) A widely-publicized research study which found that marijuana causes damage to certain types of white blood cells [see The Spectrum, March 29, page 8] has come under widespread attack from a number of scientists and organizations. The findings were reported by a team of researchers at Columbia University headed by Dr. Gabriel Nahas at a press conference on January 25T At the conference, Dr. Hah as said his tests on blood drawn from heavy users indicated that marijuana caused certain white blood cells called “T lymphocytes” to be inhibited in division. Division of white blood cells is one of die ways the body fights disease. Nriias reported that since *T lymphocytes” may be instrumental in fighting cancer-causing viruses, marijuana may be a cause of cancer, as well as generally weakening the overall response of the body to disease. In light of his discovery. Dr. Hahas called for a complete re-evaluation of the National Commission on Marijuana and Drug Abuse Report, which in 1972 advocated decriminalization of - marijuana. Credibility suspect The National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws (NORML) was especially upset about the wide media coverage given to Dr. Nahas' claims. NORML hastened to point out that Nahas has campaigned hard and illogically against marijuana for a long time prior to his study, and as such his credibility is suspect. Last year, Dr. Nahas’ book. Marijuana, the Deceptive Weed (Raven Press, N.Y.) was widely criticized as a purportedly scientific work with an open anti-marijuana bias. In that book Dr. Nahas called marijuana the “green menace” which was about to destroy the American way of life, and urged that the “pleasure-oriented” society of the U.S. respond to this “challenge” thrust on the West by the U.S.S.R. and China. The bulk of Dr. Nahas’ book consisted of attacks on marijuana research that has not denounced the weed. A review of the book in the Journal of the American Medical Association said, “examples of biased selections and interpretations abound in every chapter," and criticized Dr. Nahas’ attitude as a “tremendous step backward for medicine.” Pr. Nahas, who has testified before a number of state legislatures against reducing criminal penalties for marijuana, called his press conference before the study was published, and therefore before the paper could be examined for discrepancies of errors in research methods, NORML said. Methods faulted Since the publication of the study in Science magazine on February 1, opposition has grown rapidly within the scientific and academic communities. Critics particularly have found fault with the way the experiments were set up and the methods by which Dr. Nahas drew his conclusions: Dr. Nahas used volunteers who had been heavy marijuana users in the past, but who said they had not used any “other mind-altering drugs,” for the study group. However Dr. Nahas said the subjects smoked cigarettes and drank alcohol, both of which contain drugs that have been considered “mind-altering.” In his findings, Dr. Nahas discounted the effects of these and other drugs such as caffeine, amphetamines, barbiturates, antihistamines, aspirin, and unspecified prescription drugs which the subjects had taken in the past. Dr. Nahas presented his findings and then singled out marijuana from his subjects’ drug histories as the cause of his study results. Other researchers have pointed to the growing mass of scientific work done with marijuana which contradicts Dr. reported. Vera Rubin| who was in charge of a medical study of Jamaicans who had smoked large quantities of marijuana for an average of 17 yean (see CPS No. 17) said that the results of that study were in direct contradiction to the Nahas findings. Results invisible ‘The Jamaican study of long-term chronic ganja (a potent form of marijuana] smokers found no deleterious effects that could be attributed to cannabis,” Dr. Rubin said in a recent statement. “Ganja teas and tonics have been taken by the rural population for the past fifty years... and there is no indication that resistance to disease has declined as a result of marijuana.” Ted Mijuriya of the University of California at Berkeley and author of Marijuana Medical Papers 1832-1972 summed his findings up this way: “If marijuana really has anti-immunologic effects on white blood cells, we’d see the results in hospital admissions. We don’t.” He also noted “the absence of any medical reports describing excessive susceptibility to viral or bacterial infection by marijuana users in the past by 134 years of medical experience with the drug.” Columbia University, in whose name Nahas has announced his findings, has backed away from endorsing the study. In a public letter, Columbia President William J. McGill said, “Dr. Nahas speaks for himself, not the University... The University will not endorse or otherwise comment on Dr. Nahas’ findings.” Nearly all detractors agree that more study should be done on the effects, of marijuana on white blood cells before any judgment is made. As such, Dr. Nahas’ work is considered to simply indicate another possibility to be explored, rather than definitive medical proof of a marijuana-induced disorder. Yet despite this situation, the Nahas announcement has received wide coverage through television and the wire services as concrete proof that marijuana has harmful physical effects.

During this time hallucinogens were very prevalent in the community and people were having a difficult time dealing with the emotional and medical aspects. As time passed, we felt that in order to make our services more useful, Sunshine House would have to expand and continually bend to the community needs. Today, we have our own house, rather than a room, and have extended our services, referral files and training program. STAFF AND FUNDING Sunshine House is staffed by caring individuals who desire to help others. All of the members are volunteers who have gone through an extensive training program. The training OUTREACH Sunshine House provides outreach services for emergencies only. Situations such as drug overdose, bad acid trips, medical emergencies and the like may fit into our outreach realm. WALK-IN Sunshine House is located at 106 Winspear Avenue (one block east of Main Street, near UB). The door is open to anyone who wishes to rap on a one-to-one basis in an informal atmosphere. DRUG IDENTIFICATION Sunshine House can identify most drugs, and expalin their actions, if a description of the drug is given to us. If you have any pills or capsules that have an unknown effect, call us we can probably identify them. - - Wednesday, 3 April 1974 The Spectrum Page seven . . 3 �t Summit Yet, . “You See That Amherst residents screwed again The Amherst Campus has been plagued by cutbacks and budget freezes ever since it was an enormous swamp. But now that over 2000 students will be living on that barren campus in September, the current freeze on funds for Amherst is completely unfair to those that the state has mandated must live there. The administration came under strong criticism for stranding 800 freshmen in the Governor's dorms this year with nothing but a Law School and miles of mud for company. However, President Robert Ketter explained that if the University did not utilize the dorrrs that were constructed first (whose far-sighted planning was that?), Albany would not provide any more money for further construction. So after consigning the unlucky batch of freshmen to bad bus service and mud for a year, the State Division of Budgets has again frozen funds for Amherst which would equip the Creative Crafts Center, performance theater and Ellicott Complex lecture hall for Amherst residents, The expenditures for Amherst must seem unduly large to Albany's budget-watchers compared to outlays for other individual SUNY campuses, but Albany has never fully understood the unique problems this University faces in making a mass transition from one campus to another. But because they have mandated that students must live in the Amherst dorms just because they are built, they have a responsibility not to freeze the money that would provide some facilities and activities for those students. Fortunately, the Administration seems confident of persuading the State Legislature to provide the needed funds for Amherst in the state supplemental budget. We strongly urge the State Legislators to ease the plight of the 2000 students victimized by short-sighted planning by restoring the frozen funds for the Amherst Campus. intramurals: ray of hope A bill which would provide for New York State to pick up part of the tab for intramural and recreational sports on SUNY campuses is expected to be introduced to the State Legislature this week. As a result of successful persuasion by former SA officials Jon Dandes and Dave Saleh and SARB Breisblatt, State chairman Warren Assemblyman Chester Hardt and State Senator Jim McFarland will sponsor a bill that would enable the state to provide about $310,000 for state-wide intramurals and recreation, with this University receiving about $50,000. It is becoming increasingly difficult for students to subsidize the entire cost of both intercollegiate athletics and a large enough intramurals and recreation program to satisfy the rising student demand. Out of a total athletic budget of $220,000, last year's campus cost for intramurals and recreation was $45,000, but should rise to about $60,000 next year with a sorely-needed athletic bubble and more activities planned for the Amherst Campus. While it would seem more logical if the state funded varsity sports and the students 1 paid for intramurals, SUNY Central is totally opposed to paying for intercollegiate sports but might accept funding intramurals. With participation soaring in intramural football, basketball, hockey, baseball and volleyball, and with demand increasing for use of the gym, pool, tennis and handball courts and planned Amherst athletic bubble not to mention the increased interest in intramurals have become a women's sports priority. Certainly such activities serve many more students than intercollegiate teams, where the decline in fan interest has paralleled the loss of scholarships and the drop in quality. If the only sports area in which it's 1 possible to get supplemental funding from the state is intramurals and recreation, then let's try to get it there. While the odds for passage of the bill are not exactly overwhelming, we urge the State Legislators to carefully consider the proposal on its merits and recognize its responsibility to help pay for intramural and recreational when added to the burden of sports, which is subsidizing intercollegiate athletics becoming more difficult for students to afford on their own. — — — — — Two successes and a failure Late grades may not seem to be an earth-shaking issue, but students can get fatally strangled in red tape when a late grade or incomplete transcript prevents them from being accepted by another college or graduate school, obtaining financial aid, or getting a job. But through the efforts of former SA President Jon Dandes, the late grade problem has been spotlighted and is being attacked. After Mr. Dandes threatened a class action legal suit against faculty members who submitted grades late for breach of contract, the percentage of late grades last semester was significantly reduced; and after campus grievances were filed against still-negligent instructors, a majority of the late grades were quickly submitted. Considering that this University's 14-day deadline for grades is far longer than most schools' 48- or 72-hour period, the two weeks is certainly a reasonable enough period for any responsible instructor to evaluate his students and issue grades. We hope future threats of lawsuits will not be necessary in the coming semesters, but if instructors continue to make it difficult for students applying for jobs, aid and schools by neglecting their responsibilities, a student lawsuit may become more than a threat. Fhj* eifht. The Spectrum . Another accomplishment by Mr. Dandes and Cliff Palefsky, former Student Rights coordinator, was persuading the Administration-controlled FSA to reinstitute the Food Service seconds table for dorm students on board contracts. A vital addition to supplement shrinking meals, FSA's acceptance of a lower profit margin by restoring the seconds table while a humane decision was made possible only by the persistent efforts of these SA officials. topic, On another it seems the University's annual graduation ceremony is attracting fewer and fewer students than ever before. While graduations are like weddings handing out primarily for the parents diplomas em masse to thousands of students in Memorial Auditorium is obviously as impersonal as the rest of this large University. It is not difficult to see why many students choose not to attend a graduation in a sports stadium. Short of combining the graduation ceremony with a hockey or basketball game in the Aud to attract more participants, a better solution would perhaps be a return to smaller ceremonies by each department or faculty on the campus so each student would feel a part of his graduating class, and not just another number in a mass of graduating statistics. Wednesday, 3 April 1974 — — — — Humane question To the Editor. As a member of the National Mustang Association, I am writing to you and your readers to ask for your help to convince the Bureau of Land Management to grant grazing permits to the National Mustang Association’s ranch located in Barclay, Nevada. ‘The problem in brief, revolves around the of Land Management’s reluctance to recognize the National Mustang Association’s legal right to hold grazing permits attached to the ranch at the Barclay, they say, Nevada.,,, Because, Association ‘is not entitled to be in the livestock business.’ However, under Utah non-profit corporate law (the NMA is a Utah non-profit corporation and the rules apply) the Association is entitled to hold permits; Various “unofficial” legal opinions have held that the NMA is entitled to the permits under the Taylor Grazing Act as well as under state law.” Thus, “legally” there should be no question, but more important, what about the “humane” question? Can anyone possibly imagine these wild beautiful horses racing and living on their own range and not being allowed to lower their heads to fulfill their natural desire to nourish their hunger or drink to quench their thirst. In the days of the Bible, a group of newly freed Hebrew slaves were also foraging in the desert and when they were faced with starvation the Lord provided manna from heaven for their survival. Today the wild Mustang has been given sanctuary on the Barclay Ranch provided by the National Mustang Association and God has provided them with manna from heaven, all that is needed now is Mercy granted by the Bureau of Land Management. Mercy and permission that these nobel horses may be allowed to bow their heads and Bureau survive. Your letter of appeal to the following parties asking them to grant the grazing permits will be a positive step in their survival. Please write today as the grazing permits will be coming up for legislation in the Congress. Honorable Rogers C.B.

SA: credit when due y To the Editor: * A A* a member of both the past and present Executive Committee of the Student Association I have listened to the criticism of the full page ad in The Spectrum indicating our accomplishments throughout this and last year. I accept this criticism for what it is worth. Let me point out, however, why ads of this sort may have some validity. In the article ‘The End of the Hungry Diner: Seconds Table to be Restored” there was no mention of the role the Student Association played. It was successful arguments of Mssrs. Palcfsky and Saleh that brought about the implimentation of the seconds policy. Were it not for their efforts, those on board contracts would not have a seconds table. I hope that in the future, the Student Association will receive credit when credit is due. I believe we can then better accept criticism. Then and only then will ads of similar nature be unjustified. l«sowr ISM SIMON SAYS Evaluating Jon Dandes Howard M. Schapiro Student Affairs Coordinator To the Editor. Now that the Jon Dandes administration has come to an end, it’s about time that people stop jumping on to the bandwagon of criticism and really evaluate the true merits or failures of that administration. Jon Dandes came into office, after the failures of the Benson administration, one that had attempted to mobilize the voice of the students. Mr. Dandes was dealing with ah extremely apathetic student body, which left him very little alternative if his administration was to be an effective one. For in student government, there are only two routes you can go. Firstly, you can appeal for student support, and use this base of power to effect meaningful change. But when only 2700 students vote in an election and interest in student government has hit an all-time low, this method leads either to an inactive S A administration or one that is doomed to failure. The only other possible route to work for effective change for the students is to ally yourself with the administration and faculty, and to use this along with community, alumni, and local legislative support, as your base of power. Joh Dandes choose this route, for he was not prepared to see another year of ineffective and inactive SA government. Some called this a sellout of the students, but Unfunny stereotype To the Editor. I resent the article, Rise in Complaints about JAPs published in The Spectrum on 4/1/74. As a Jewish woman distressed about the anti-semitism which already exists, I feel you are doing a dis-service to the community by publishing something which perpetrates a derogatory stereotype of Jewish Women. If the writer of the article meant to be funny, I’d like to know where the humor lies in stereotyping Jewish women as egocentric sex objects? Prejudice and discrimination are based on generalizations. Jews have been victims of jokes for long enough and much of the anti-semitism that exists is based on hateful charicatures similar to the article published in Monday’s Spectrum. At a time when we are paying more and more attention to racism and sexism, let us also be sensitive to the anti-semitism around us. Carol Seidman Martin Sostre has lost another battle for his freedom. Federal Judge John T. Curtin today handed down his long-awaited decision in Sostre’s bid for a new trial based upon the recanted testimony of the State’s main witness, Arto Williams. Curtin refused to overturn the conviction and denied Sostre a new trial. In his 23-page decision he not claimed to find Williams’ recantation only “unworthy of belief” but had the nerve to state that “there is no reason not to believe the testimony of the police officers” even though one of those police officers, Alvin Gristmacher, has been charged with Grand Larceny in the theft of half a million Sexual fear To the Editor.

He has helped to restore UB’s image in the community and has gained the respect and support of local area legislators. Jon has helped to put integrity back in student government and he has built a base of power for the students by working effectively with the administration, alumni and UB Foundation. Student government has come a long way under Jon's term as President; and he has definitely laid the framework for effective student government. Many will criticize the way that Jon fought for student power at UB., but there isn’t one who can deny the effectiveness of his administration. The Dandes administration will go down as a lesson for SA of what students’ government can really accomplish. Though Jon was a controversial president, even his enemies have to admit that if the current SA administration is half as effective as he was, they will accomplishing a great deal. Jon Dandes and the members of his administration should be praised for the fine year of student government that they have given to the students at UB.

Williams admitted under oath in May 1973 that he helped Gristmacher and Erie County Sheriff Mike Amico frame Sostre in July, 1967 on drug sale charges. It took Curtin 9Vi months to decide that he did not believe Williams’ recantation. Many people had expressed hope in Judge Curtin’s reputation as a liberal. When five young anti-war activists broke into the U.S. Post Office in Buffalo two years ago in a raid to destroy Draft Board records they were convicted and faced up to 15 years in prison. Curtin sentenced them to a year’s probation and, in an unprecendented speech from a Federal Judge, encouraged them to continue their anti-war work. But while Curtin dealt leniently with the Buffalo 5 white and middle-class Irish Catholic there was no justice in his liberals like himself courtroom for a militant black Puerto Rican like - - Martin Sostre. There is never justice for a person of color in this white racist society, no matter how “liberal” the judge in question is supposed to be. This should teach us never again to fall for the trap of the “liberal” label. Sostre is presently in New York City at the Federal House of Detention to testify in another prisoner’s lawsuit against the State prison system. He’ can be returned at any time to Clinton Prison, where he has been tortured in solitary confinement for 14 months. During that time he was beaten six times by guards, forced to stand outside naked in six degree weather, denied all visitors (including lawyers and clergy), was tear-gassed in his cell, had his mail continually obstructed, was denied books and newspapers, etc., etc., etc. If this were not enough, he was indicted in Clinton County Court for allegedly assaulting the very guards who attacked him! The assault charges are still pending, and Sostre faces a life sentence if convicted. When will the public demand an end to this persecution? Martin Sostre is serving a 30-year sentence in prison for a crime he did not commit. He has served 6Vi years so far and is now 51 years old. We appeal to all people of conscience to help save the life of this political prisoner of such great courage. We issue an emergency appeal for funds so that we can take the case to the U.S. Court of Appeals. Please send whatever you can, your contribution may help to save a human life.

Yet, he said, only objectors were conscientious denied benefits for this reason. “It is, indeed,” he continued, “demeaning to those who have scruples against religious shouldering arms to suggest, as the government does, that those scruples must be religious susceptible of compromise before they will be protected.” “Government, as I read the Constitution and the Bill of Rights, may not place a penalty on anyone for asserting his religious scruples. That is the nub of the present case and the reason why the judgment below should be affirmed,” Justice Douglas said. I BiBi IS HERE! 11 PM to 8 AM daily.

(§) New tork Telephone AN OPEN LETTER TO STUDENTS Can you imagine traveling through the Mediterranean world and still receiving full SUNY Binghamton semester credit? Can you believe that you can live in Malta, Italy, and Tunis during an entire academic year (or semester) for little more than what it would cost you to remain on campus? Well, it’s true; the SUNY-Binghamton Overseas Academic Program in Mediterranean Studies provides just such an opportunity. What’s more, students majoring in Humanities including English and Social Sciences including History receive excellent instruction. All students in Liberal Arts are encouraged to apply. The language requirement in Malta and Italy has now become optional although students without any language background will probably want to take some language study abroad. Majors in Romance Languages are welcome to participate in the Fall Semester in Malta and Italy. But during the Spring Semester they will travel to Aix-en-Provence or Barcelona*where they will live in private apartments or with families depending on their preferences The SUNY-Binghamton Overseas Academic Program in Mediterranean Studies is one of the few programs in the SUNY system that sends students to the Islamic world. The program is not only interdisciplinary but multi-cultural and multi-country as well. For further Information and an application form, pleas© contact the Director of International Education on your campus. Application deadline is APRIL 16,1974.

If you’re accustomed to the visual catatonics of the underground comix genre, if your orbs are encrusted in bleak ennui, if your mind is warped to the nth degree, if your consciousness is bordering on eroto-cannibalism, if you’re a bit odd, then of a panel of you’ll understand the import their established artists discussing in time-warp and their futures that’s ’cause the v shaky pasts drooling obscenities,, Court latest ’bout Supremes mean ya can’t show wee-^ees,- and ca-ca, and $ ultrasnuff-visions, has caught the underground industry by the proverbial short-hairs. Seems everybody wants to elevate the decadent consciousness. Spain Rodriguez, /ay Lynch, and Harvey Kurtzman are the three underground.comix artists who’ll be visiting Buffalo today. In store for local inksperts will be various workshops, a truly dazzling Gallery display, and a panel discussion moderated by Leslie Fiedler. Topics of discussion will include the burgeoning French undergrounds, the future of genitals in mass media, and lead-depth for fun and profit. Spain Rodriguez is a former Buffalo street-chomper whose work ranges from the futuristic female mutations of “Mean Bitch Tljrilis” to the quiet serenity of Trashman. His works have i appeared in Zap, Skull, etc. His most recent ... — - — gs) & excursion takes him once again into the land of future time. The tale, “Sangrella” takes us into the world of women, like we’ve never seen it before. Lots of visual angst. Jay Lynch is the creator of the Bijou Publishing Empire and one of the aggressive leaders in maintaining the genre as pure as it possibly can be. His creations, “Nard ’n Pat,” have been tickling everybody’s fancy fer years. Much better than Fat Cat. Harvey Kurtzman’s influence on the field of comics has been nothing short of profound. Along with Bill Gaines and A1 Feldstcin he was responsible for the magnificent, head-expanding EC-line way back in the Golden Age. From there he went on to things like being one of the founding fathers of Mad Magazine, to Trump magazine, to Humbug, right • through to Help. Help was one of the pivotal creations for the field of undergrounds. In its Public Gallery some of the finest underground artists got their starts. R. Crumb, Gilbert Shelton, Jay Lynch, all had their beginnings in Kurtzman’s magazine. Nice credentials. The panel will be held in the Fillmore Room tonight, the Gallery display will be open all day, and the workshops will be conducted throughout the day. All free. Orb it, it’ll scan. -J.F.

Need helpT Do you find it impossible to untangle the University bureaucracy ? In cooperation with the Office of Student Affairs and Services, the Spectrum sponsors Action Line, a weekly reader service column. Through Action Line, individual students can get answers to puzzling questions, find out where and why University decisions are made and get action where change is needed. Just dial 831-5000 or visit the Action Line booth in the Venter Lounge in Norton Hall for individual attention. The Office of Student Affairs and Services will investigate all questions and complaints, and will answer them individually. The name of the individual originating the inquiry is kept confidential under all circumstances. The more common questions will be answered in this column each week. Q: 1 intend to graduate this May. Are there any special procedures to follow? Also, when will commencement be held? A; Students should file a degree application card with Admissions and Records in Hayes Annex B approximately six months before the expected date of graduation. If you have not filed one yet, you should do so immediately. The general commencement ceremony is scheduled for Tuesday, May 21, 1974 at 3 p.m. in Memorial Auditorium. Measurements and orders for caps and gowns will be taken on April 10th and 11th in the Norton bookstore. A packet containing all the necessary information for graduation will be mailed to those students who completed their degree requirements in September 1973* January 1974, and those who plan on graduating in May 1974. This packet is being' prepared by Admissions and Records and should be mailed out to those concerned within the next two weeks. Q: I heard that the library has a computer which will print out a bibliography for research topics. I have quite a few papers and would like to be able to use this service if possible. Where can I get more information? A: The Health Sciences Library in cooperation with the Medical School sponsors the SUNY Biomedical Communications Network which is an online information retrieval system for the field of biomedicine. The central computer located in Albany relays information to the Health Sciences terminal. This service can be used to construct bibliographies, investigate the amount and kind of research done in a particular area, avoid duplication of research efforts and trace developments chronologically. The question is designed as a cross reference tool for those articles which are not easily found through Jndex Medicus. An example of a typical search request is: the relationship of smoking to lung neoplasms. This service is offered free of charge to all SUNYAB students, faculty and staff. Other interested individuals must pay a fee of $7.50 for a minimum of 30 minutes or $10 per hour. To make an appointment, call the Health Sciences Library, extension 2441, and ask for the Search analyst or a reference librarian. Appointments may- be scheduled from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., Monday through Friday. The staff reserves the right not to do searchers that are inappropriate for the system. Unfortunately, the expense of developing and maintaining such a computer system makes it impossible to develop a similar system for all other research areas. However, a similar service is offered by the Psychological Abstracts Information Service and the Educational Resources Information Center (ERIC). Follow the same procedure as described above, however appointments for searchers on Psychological Abstracts may be scheduled only on Monday, Senior Nursing Students With graduation approaching, your thoughts are probably on plans for the future. one of Consider becoming part of the health-care team at Mt.

Evidence of this can be seen in the 1934 German propaganda masterpiece Triumph of the WUl. Director Leni Riefenstahl skillfully synthesizes scenes of the Nuremburg Rally into a forceful document in the spirit of Nazism. It is an excellent example of how clever film editing and splendid Wagnerian marches can be utilized for maximum effect. Subtle, intelligent documentaries like The Sorrow and the Pity and To Die in Madrid are contrasted with Frank Capra’s American propaganda Why We Fight series. Capra’s films, almost insulting in their heavy-handed Mussolini’s political and social doctrine on Fascism, to a psychological portrait of Adolph Hitler’s mother. Occasional 1— guest speakers have included noted journalist • and visiting professor of English Dwight Macdonald, professor John Sullivan on his experiences in London during the German bombing ‘blitz,’ and other members of the History Department. r By far the most distinctive part of the course, however, is the program of films. John Wayne not withstanding, each film is there not for the student’s viewing pleasure but for its value as a historical document. Dr. Allen emphasizes that a movie is most often not the unbiased visual report recorded by a camera. A movie, he ' simplicity, are useful in studying how die military presented information to the public. To Die in Madrid is an emotional account of people suffering during the Spanish Civil War, a moving lyrical film that yconfronts the viewer as a sympathetic human being. The Fwdocumentary The Sorrow and the Pity concerns “the Nazi occupation of France during World War II, and explores the courage, cowardice, and commitment of the collaborators and resistors,” according to the class film notes. Dr. Alien openly hopes that other schools across die country will imitate the experiment of History 100, noting that he would “be delighted if other people picked upon it. Despite admitted faults. Dr. Allen claims success: “People have learned more in this course than in any other I have taught, and I’m convinced it worked.” Summer registration The Office of Admissions and Records will conduct Summer Session 1974 Registration beginning Monday, April IS, 1974.

No gas After the Bulls lost the war of blades, the they had to fight another battle battle of the gas pump. If die fuel shortage is over, someone diould tell Cleveland about it. because there was no gas within a two-mile radius of the team’s hotel. A three-mile walking tour of the city yielded no gas and the Bulls began to have delusions about waiting until the April supplies came through. Fortunately, the Bulls won this battle, but not without some assistance from the Case Western team bus and a Red Ball service station. • Campus: $2.75 per col. inch ~ boxspring.

Forman, a senior and finalist last year, offered this analysis beforehand; “You try not to look at the other guys ’cause if you do, you might see someone practicing and think, ‘Hey, he looks pretty sharp.’ But anything can happen, and you can’t get psyched out. So afterwards, when he beats you, then you can think, ‘Hey, he is pretty sharp’.” Forman split his first two bouts and then lost his last nine. Maybe he should have worn a blindfold. Foilist Reisine managed to win two of his bouts, but was almost thrown out of the tournament altogether when coach Alfred Paredo of Baruch accused him of Munz, a sabre fencer, was the first to fall. He didn't fence too badly, but some questionable calls resulted in a 4-6 record in the preliminary round, not up to par with his 14-6 regular season record and his impressive third-place finish in the North Atlantic Regional Championship. In spite of his won-lost record, the junior’s marks tied him for the last spot in the “repechage,” which is a second chance for borderline fencers to make the jump into the finals.

Julian Bond, the young black legislator from Georgia, appeared before a disappointingly small audience in Clark Hall Thursday evening to pontificate on the state of national affairs. His address was filled with so many humorous remarks about the government that he admitted he used them mouth,” ribbed Mr. Bond. After telling a humorous Lester Maddox “Good-news-bad news” story, Mr. Bond grew serious. ‘The last Presidential election was a philosophical struggle that was resolved in favor of one candidate over the other,” he said. The voters’ eventual choice was bitterly criticized by Mr. Bond, who cited Richard Nixon for his “arrogant contempt of people and their problems.” The past five years had been a time when the government’s priorities changed from “a benign concern to a malignant neglect,” Mr. Bond asserted. Positive gain Fair trial? Speaking a bit more positively, Mr. Bond said black people had in recent years gained many of their Jury duty selection criticized goals’’ including a substantial decrease in segregation practices, the right to register and “professed vote, and input into developing public policy. However, “these gains are illusionary,” he said. Mr. then described Bond some startling facts. “Black elected “to make a speech longer than it really is.” Mr. Bond, who first gained at' the national attention Democratic National Convention in 1968, said he was by profession “a politician.” More recently than ever, he confessed, the political profession has been viewed with much skepticism, but ‘it is the second oldest profession in the world,” he explained. “I belong to the finest body of people money can buy,” Mr. Bond added, officials represent less than 2% of the elected officials in this country. A black college graduate earns about as much in a lifetime as a white high school graduate. ‘The government always finds new ways to spend old money,” Mr. Bond said. “They have relief rolls which give relief to ho one.” Mr. Bond then resumed his attack on President Nixon, who has consistently used his veto power “against thp weak.” Mr. Bond charged. Among these vetoes, which Congress failed to override, were the minimum wage increase act, the emergency medical bill and even legislation for clean air. There must be a movement “massive of those affected by the vetos” to remove the President from office, Mr. audience. Bond told the “Congress lacks the fortitude to impeach him, so they must be the first to go,” he said. More participation Mr. Bond next appealed to his listeners more to participate in actively the affairs of tongue-in-cheek. government. “Those who believe in clean air ought not vote for a Harsh criticism man with a dirty heart,” Mr. Bond Mr. Bond said the reason the cautioned. He regarded streaking college campuses rather profession had fallen into such on “low repute” was because “the cynically, saying “a naked body President has given us a bad can’t hide a naked mind.” name.” He continued: “No one is Quoting Fredrick Douglas, Mr. able to tell when he is telling the Bond concluded: “If there is no truth, but I’m here to reveal a struggle there can be no formerly-sccret method to tell if progress the limits of tyrants he is telling the truth.” The arc prescribed by the limits of ... Georgia legislator said the secret of discerning the President’s veracity was “pay no attention to what he says but concentrate on his hands.” If Mr. Nixon grabs his right ear lobe with his right hand or touches his nose with his left hand, one may assume he is being honest. ‘The only time you’ve got to be careful is when he opens his those who they oppress.” the question-and-answer In period which ensued, Mr. Bond said his only political aspiration was to “stay where I am.” When asked if there was any way to regain confidence in the government, Mr. Bond replied; “Only when you think you have something to do with it.” by Jenny Cheng Spectrum Staff Writer Eric County is the only county in the state that does not initially choose names from the voter registration list at random according to statistics compiled by the Fair Jury Project. ‘This results in a considerable under-representation of women, young people and blacks. The juries do not represent a true cross-section of the community. Instead, they represent only a limited class, ,r explained Mr. Burns. , ‘There are no fair juries in Erie County,” 4eclared attorney Haywood Bums of the Legal Defense for the Attica Brothers. “The present jury selection process in Erie County is grossly discriminatory in the areas of race, sex and age,” he asserted. Members of the Legal Defense in the Attica case, in association with the Fair Jury Project, have comprehensive three-month study researching the jury selection process in Erie County. The results of this study, presented by the Fair Jury Project last Thursday, indicated serious illegal under-representation of blacks, women and young people in Erie county’s jury pool. ‘These representations are not the result of chance or lower voter registration rates for any of these groups. They are results of improper functioning of the jury selection,” revealed the project report. “In a pool of qualified jurors, blacks have been under-represented by 34%, women by 68%, and persons between the ages of 2 1 and 29 by 84%,” the statistics compiled by the committee indicated. The chances of these inequities occurring accidently are the same as the chances of a poker player being dealt 24 consecutive royal flushes,” asserted Mr. Bums. “Not only can the Attica Brothers not get a fair trial released — no one can get a fair trial,” he said. Discrimination in Erie County The Erie County selection process is based on a permanent pool of 117,000 persons qualified for jury duty, from which jurors are chosen monthly. Once a person is qualified, he or she remains in the pool for life, unless subsequently disqualified or exempted. There is a continuous process of qualifying new jurors to replace those who have died or moved away, in order to maintain the pool at a level of 10% of the population. Names are chosen from the voter registration list (supposedly at random) and questionnaires- are sent those persons to selected. The completed is questionnaire classified as “qualified,” “disqualified,” or exempt.” All government officials are disqualified. Clergy, attorneys, members of the news media, firemen and other specialized professionals, as well as women, are entitled to exemptions. To qualify for jury duty, one must be between the ages of 21 and 75, in good health, and have a record free of felony or misdemenor convictions “involving moral turpitude.” A drawing is made each month selecting 1000 names for two-week jury service. Those who serve are not called again for another three years. Any exemptions filed after one has qualified as a juror are considered illegal. ‘ Local statistics “Sampling of voter registration books show in such as West Seneca, out of the 150 questionnaires sent out, 145 of them went to males,” charged the report. “In Cheektowaga, all 82 selections were male. In a list of 16 towns, at least 60% of the males on the voting lists were sent questionnaires, while no effort was made to correct the imbalance of males and females. A similar imbalance was discovered in the number of blacks and young people represented in juries. In the neighborhood of Cold Spring, a predominantly black neighborhood, only 5 of 15 prospective jurors were sent questionnaires, a 67% while in Riverside, a white under-representation neighborhood with 16 candidates, 22 questionnaires were sent out, an over-representation of 38%. No effort was made to correct the imbalance. towns — Official discrimination charged Martin Feinrider, a member of the Project, described the means by which the Erie County jury commissioner’s office has discriminated against these groups. “Cards were found in the office with the notation ‘negro’ written on them,” Mr. Feinrider said, “but no such cards were found marked ‘white’.” Women have been granted exemptions even though they do not request them, and college students seem to have been “automatically disqualified.” Only 3% of voters age 21-29 in Erie County were sent questionnaires. After spending over 500 hours of extensive Jury Project concluded; research, the Fair “Opportunities for discrimination are built into the jury selection system, and in fact, have occurred. This violates the 8th, 6th and 14th amendments of the U.S. Constitution, as well as similar sections of the New York State Constitution, and New York State Law and Appelate Division Rules,” added Mr. Burns. ‘it is heartening to have the results of this study, to verify what I have known for a long time,” said Dorothy Teryl of the Buffalo American Civil Liberties Union. “Working with the criminal system of the ACLU, I have been in a position to observe the composition of the jury panels as they come inttf the courts. The poor and minority defendants in our country are faced with enormous inequities from the bail system to inadequate counsel. Now, at least, we have a challenge to the jury system,” she concluded. 1-fi- �“The Crisis in Higher Education,’ a conference aimed at uniting Community and University people, was held Friday afternoon *in the Fillmore Room. Sponsored by the campus coalition," the forum featured representatives of the Black Student Union, Women’s Caucus and UB Vets. Leslie Medine, a coalition representative, reported that a steering committee has attempted “to get people collectively organized.’ Although she regretted missing the revolution, Ms. Medina was confident that “there’s a movement that’s very much alive and that’s what we have to deal with.” Speaking in reference to school administrations, Mildred Primm of the Buffalo Rights Actions Group (BRAG) said: 'They say education has solved the problem and they recreate the monster.” While she appeared certain Of the audiences’ concern, Ms. Primm doubted if anything would be done: T don’t see how you can get the community to back you when you don’t come out there.” ‘ “Fighting against change” Regarding education, Ms. Primm hoped that human beings can do things other than what they have been trained for. All the Administration wants to do is protect their jobs while they arc fighting against change,” she asserted. Ms. Primm warned that “we should not spend so much time on Nixon and Watergate; we should start thinking about the gate you’re at. I don't care who they impeach,” she said defiantly. “It won’t change the system.” “From the time you are in kindergarten, they have decided who you are,” she commented. Ms. Primm repeatedly told the audience that they had “better get together” if any meaningful changes were to take place. Representing the Attica Brothers Legal Defense, Joe Hill described the background of people now in prison: “85% of those people belong to the Third World Oppressed People. They have to steal, rob and beat up people in order to survive the conditions they live under.” ‘ > Prison bars in college Mr. Hill compared colleges to prisons, stating that each was confined in the walls of some form of power.” He criticized American education for failing to teach the students about life. ‘"Only a certain class has the education,” Mr. Hill said, “and the rich don’t have to struggle.” He continued: “There is currently a ‘death culture’ which does not recognize suppression. You’re not free to choose as you feel,” he said. Mr. Hill felt the 1971 Attica prison riot was the result of prisoners being "treated like dogs.” None of the Attica brothers’ demands were met and they were labelled ‘criminals,’ forced to stand trial, he said. Nearly $3.6 million has been used by the State ‘ to prosecute the Attica Brothers and the State has spent nothing for their defense, charged Mr. Hill. “I want you to understand that what’s happening at Attica is happening to you,” he'added. Destroying illusions Henry Taylor, Black Worker’s Congress representative, wanted to smash the illusion that schools and universities are ah upper class institution. He asserted: “The university is the class instrument of the monopoly capitalist class.” Mr. Taylor added that the gains and concessions the working class had won from the government were only temporary. To meet the oppression, there must also be resistence, he explained. Mr. Taylor, who favors a long-range struggle against the “bourgeoisie,” said it would be possible to “erect the dictatorship of the proloteriat by studying the science of Marxism, Leninism and Mao Tse-tung thought.” He appealed to the members of the Black Nation to concentrate on these philosophies to overthrow the bourgeoisie. ‘ ‘ No more United Auto Workers (UAW) representative Clifford Suggs, candidate for the school board of East High School, said today’s education “needs a change.” The system “has been discriminating against the working class movement since its inception,” he said. Mr. Suggs attacked the IQ testing system by asking: “How can you measure intelligence when you can’t describe it?” The duty of education, according to Mr.' Suggs, is to prepare students for a better life by teaching them how to learn. If they are taught how to learn, they might develop questions which would most certainly lead to change, Mr. Suggs maintained. “Too long has the campus been isolated from the community,’J Mr. Suggs emphasized. “We had better realize that we have one common struggle,” he added. Mr. Shggs complained that studies were not relevant” and that it would be more beneficial for a student to learn how to fill out a college application rather than learn mythology in the sixth grade. ‘ Keep the schools open Describing the conditions of certain Buffalo high schools, Mr. Suggs said some schools would not permit students to bring home books when homework is assigned. If elected to the school board, Mr. Suggs pledged to keep school open after closing time. Mr. Suggs reiterated; “Your struggle is my struggle. If I go out here with the thought that one of you will- join us, then I’ll feel the few minutes I had here were well spent.” todayGRAND REOPENING!!

Mr. Reid is currently serving his sixth term in U,S. the House of Representatives. He represents a substantial portion of Westchester County. Prior to his election to Congress in 1962, Ogden Reid was editor and publisher of the New YorkHerald Tribune , Ambassador to Israel (1959-61) and chairman of the New York State Commission on Human Rights. Rep. Reid and his wife made political headlines in 1972 when they announced that they were changing their party affiliation to Democratic after a century-long Republican family tradition. A descendent of Whitelaw Reid (one of the 1892 founders of the party and vice presidential candidate on T Benjamin Harrison’s ticket), Ogden Reid complained that the Republican party was not showing the compassion and sensitivity needed to meet the problems of the average American citizen. Mr. Reid handily won re-election against a Republican sweep of the country, and a Rockefeller-backed opponent. authored the Mr. Reid Freedom of Information Act, which has opened previously closed files containing “non-sensitive” data. In 1971, he introduced the Consummer class action act, which approved class action for redress of unfair or deceptive consumer practices.

From atop a grassy knoll, several national guardsmen opened fire in the direction of a large mass of students, leaving four dead and nine wounded. The four-year official cover-up of those murders has finally ended. In 1971, an Ohio grand jury absolved the national guardsmen of any blame, and then-Attomey General John Mitchell saw no reason to prosecute. If four executives or gunned down by four bankers had been similarly slain prosecution would overzealous soldiers firing into a mob have been swift and harsh. But since the victims were only students, and antiwar demonstrators at that, the man who indiscriminately threw such protesters in jail during the moratoriums and who now faces 30 years in jail for just looked the other obstructing justice in other areas — — — — way. Fortunately, the investigation of the Kent State murders which John Mitchell effectively quashed for political reasons was re-opened when Elliot Richardson became Attorney General. Last weekend, that investigation arrived at the logical conclusion it should have reached three years earlier: it indicted eight of the national guardsmen for the Kent State murders. The upcoming trial must focus on many crucial questions. To what extent are the eight national guardsmen responsible? What were their orders? Was there a or pre-arranged signal to open fire? Oid they shoot to warn kill? Does not much of the blame lie with their superiors for sending a regiment of ill-trained, overzealous, fully-armed guardsmen into a potentially explosive situation? The moral questions must also be faced, not only by the jury but by our entire society. Like Lt. William Galley, who massacred 22 helpless Vietnamese women and children at My Lai in 1968, are the guardsmen wholly responsible for their actions, or are they partially victims of a military mentality imposed by the State? If they acted on orders, is it not murder by proxy? - Despite the violence of the student demonstration?, how can their superiors justify allowing their agents to arbitrarily open fire at a fleeing mass of students, murdering those who were not even active participants but merely stragglers at the rear of the crowd? Four students are dead. Nothing can ever change that. But it is vitally important that those responsible for the shootings both those that pulled the triggers and those that ordered them onto the campus be brought to justice. Official violence by the State has become the most frightening danger to our society. We had developed a numbness to death.after a decade of bombing and burning peasant villages in Asia, enabling the same murderous tactics to be used against those who protested the inhuman war at home. Forty-three persons were brutally massacred when former Governor Nelson Rockefeller ordered a frontal shooting assault in 1971 against the Attica prison inmates who rebelled because of unbearable living conditions. Despite extensive testimony about arbitrary shootings, reprisals and torture, not one official person has been indicted for that cold-blooded mass murder. Only by bringing the officials as is finally happening in the Kent responsible to Justice State murders after a four-year cover-up can we cleanse our society of continued indiscriminate violence by an increasingly repressive Government. — sysjejn in Boston.

Your report of Friday, 29 March 1974, on the separation of the Biology Department into two divisions is generally accurate except for one misleading statement concerning the required courses in Biology. I recall telling your reporter that students interested in molecular biology are presently short-changed because of the lack of departmental agreement on the program of required courses at both the graduate and undergraduate levels best suited to their needs. For example, they would benefit by a required course in physical chemistry or biophysical chemistry. Your statement seems to imply that there are no required courses at all in Biology, which is of course not true. Jut H.

A strange coalition comprised of Hells Angels, Nazis, convicts and several trustees of Hillcl House seized control of the front office at Hayes Hall. Disguised as several hundred Muellers sandwiches, the entourage slipped past an especially astute honor guard” of Campus Security chosen for their mental acumen in grueling siege situations like this one. The intense mental and physical preparation that the honor guard had received came in handy, for no more than three hours passed before the squad realized that the 700 walking sandwiches (some turkey, others ham on rye toast with pickle) were actually a vicious pack of trained assassins. ‘ Minority sandwiches With this sudden jarring realization, the two honor guards struggled to their feet after days of incessant drinking, shot each other in the leg and returned to their game of ”1 doubt you.” The rebel pack waddled toward the secretary, their appendages still tightly bound by Saran Wrap and cole slaw. Eunice Delwater, the President’s secretary. suspected a trick. “You’re minority students aren’t you?” she asked. “Well, parading around in those silly get-ups won’t help you. Do you think you look African? Well, take seats or perhaps plates. Now that young man in the back is dripping mayonnaise on the carpet, and I just won’t have that.” But the now half-crazed mob was not to be put off. Laughingly, the Hells Angels bound Mrs. Delwater, who proved to be a good sport, allowing several members of the group to tapdance on her windpipe. The more experienced dancers began offering lessons in cha cha, waltzing and the alleycat on Mrs. Delwater (a series of six going for $5.50 or 8 for $7.00 with I.D. card). Administrators overthrown The dancing might have continued indefinitely had not one of the more burly Hillel House rebels gotten hungry. With a grunt, he tore off a large door from the wall and hungrily began eating its vinyl exterior. (The eating habits of Hillel House trustees are notoriously poor; anyone knowing anything about etiquette would realize that the hinges should be eaten first.) The deafening roar outside his office did not prevent University President Robert Ketta from continuing with a task that he had worked on for three consecutive days. He had handled grim student uprisings. ‘Hell no, I wont go!’ by John W. Dean HI Spectrum Staff Writer Shouting T won’t go ... it’s my room, it’# my room,’ President Richard Nixon refused to leave the Oval Office after the U.S. Senate voted to convict him on impeachment charges. Six of the Senate’s Sergeant-at-Arms were in the Oval Office, pulling on Mr. Nixon’s legs and arms, attempting to drag him out from under his desk. After twenty minutes of intense struggle, the men from the Senate left the Oval Office to report the event to the Senate, and request further instructions. Upon their departure, President Nixon placed a call to Dr. Lewis Fielding, Daniel Ellsberg’s former psychiatrist, whom the President has been consulting of late. The substance of their conversation is unknown, but Mr. Nixon was seen jumping back under his desk with his hands behind his head and his head between his knees. Approximately one hour later, after realizing there was no civil-defense drill and the Sergeants-at-Arms were not trying to bring the President to the Air-Raid Shelter, Mr. Nixon issued a statement regarding the Senate s action. Declaring that “Any abdication of this office would further weaken the office of the President for future Presidents,” Mr. Nixon enlisted the help of the “Red-Wig Brigade” led by Mr. E. Howard Hunt to help him retain possession of the White House. ; Red employed In a nationally broadcast speech, Mr. Nixon likened himself to the fictional President Jordan 1 yman in Seven Days in May. “Under no circumstances will I fall prey to the same situation that befell my predecessor. President Lyman. Neither the press, the military, the public, or the United States Congress will aid in the erosion of this office,” he stammered. and the running of a major overwhelming pressure State University with limited know-how at exorbitant cost. Yet his immediate task was far graver, rivaling the building of the pyramids in its enormity. He sat confused and distressed, fcrvishly trying to produce sounds while blowing into an empty Chicklcts box. It was a challenging task and he toyed with the idea of getting College E credit for it. With his typical humility, Dr. Ketta removed his crown (bearing the inscription “In Bob We Trust”) and placed it lightly on his desk. At this point, the rebels marched into the office and surrounded the President. The rebel chieftain Rabbi Zeb Yisroel demanded tb know why he should remain as President. Annoyed by an enormous financial deficits, answer based solely on divine right, Ketta was deposed, (sent to work in the Clement Hall laundry) and replaced by a comparable official, Ronald McDonald. The coup produced several other major repercussions. Drs. Richard Siegel-cow, vice-president for Lunch, and Anthony Lorenzooti, vice-president for Someone’s Affairs, are presently in hiding and thought to be posing as a saleswoman in A.MAA’s and her deafniece. Dr. Bernard Greenbaum has found a post of similar distinction (as his old one) where he can still rely on his unflagging interpersonal skills, and mental alacrity. He is’ a Thruway toll collector outside of Utica, and according to recent interview, “very much enjoys wearing the official hat he has been given.” Richard Milhous Nixon The “Red-Wig Brigade,” it was learned by The Spectrum in an exclusive interview with Mr. Hunt, is made up of convicted Watergate figures, as well as those indicted, and those under suspicion. This comprises 98% of the White Houst staff, or 10,000 people, and the brigade was situated around the White- House at press time. It is anticipated the group will excort President Nixon to the airport in energy-conserving Sherman Tanks, owned and operated by the newly-formed Nixxon Corporation. The brigade is expected to surround Air-Force One in commandeered Boeing 747s on the President’s flight to San Clemente tomorrow Sens. James Buckley (R.C-N.Y.), John Tower (C-Tex.) and Strom Thurmond (D-S. Car.), floor managers for the conviction vote in the Senate, issued a joint statement upon learning of the President’s decision. Speaking before a packed Senate Caucus room, filled with reporters, citizens and Representatives, the conservative Senators said: “We knew he wouldn’t step down, but we had to save face for next year’s re-election campaign.” When asked by reporters what the Senate intends to do about the present situation, the Senators looked dumbfounded. It was apparent the Senators had not considered taking any action on the President’s action, or inaction. “We will implore Julie, Tricia and Mrs. Nixon to seduce the President from the office. Other than that, gentlement, there is little we can do.” The Nixon women are presently searching the South Atlantic for Comet Kohoutek. Executive recordings Rose Mary Woods, the President’s secretary, suggested the entire nation attempts to do the “Woods” dance. Keeping one foot on a button for five consecutive minutes, a dancer must then answer telephones, take dictation and spin around. Ms. Woods said; “If we all try to do that, then we’ll forget about the present non-crisis.” Ms, Woods is a master at the dance, having created it in a critical situation and publicized it through photographs and a recording by “The Plumbers.” The song has climbed to Number One on every record chart in the nation. In an exclusive interview with Vice President Gerald Ford, The Spectrum learned of a conversation Mr. Ford had with Mr. Nixon. The Vice President informed us that he implored the President to leave the office because Mr. Ford wanted to move into the office right away. “He flatly refused, and threatened to send me on a good-will tour if I continued to pressure him,” the Vice President said. Aske; if they thought their investigative reporting has gone to waste in light of today’s developments. Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein, the two Washington Post reporters who linked the White House to the Watergate burglary, had no comment. They refused to answer any questions on that matter. However, Washington Post publisher Kay Graham indicated the two reporters had “played out their options and were eligible for the draft.” �Ladies man It was a well-known fact in dormitory circles that Mr. Regenbogen had been maintaining his own private harem. “I never saw a more aggressive ladies’ man,” said his jealous roommate, who had beicn kicked out of their room 42 times. Discussing her lover’s untimely demise, one freshman girl (who requested that her name be withheld) said Mr. Regenbogen had been upset in recent weeks because he found out his mother had been heavily into quaaludes “of late.” When Mitch heard about his mother being busted, he told me he was taking the first plane to Brooklyn ‘to cop from my mother’,” the freshman girl indicated. Bom in Canarsie in 1953,Mitchell early developed a reputation for having a foul mouth and a heavy Brooklyn accent. When most 2-ycar old Jewish boys were watching Romper Room and learning to say “Mama,” he was busy making obscene phone calls and saying “your mother.” A quick learner, Mitchell entered kindergarten at the age of 13, when most of his friends were getting Bar-Mitzvahed. Several years later, at his own Bar-Mitzvah, he proceeded to embarass his parents by leaving his Haftorah book at home.

Only three weeks before his death, Dr. Regenbogen said privately how lucky he was to be “studying had Couldn’t get a hoagie Regenbogen limped through the remainder of the political science at a great eastern university.” Because Mr. Regenbogen passed away during the semester, struggling with 16 credits of symbolic form from he middle of his mid-year examinations, DUS Dean Charles College E.

Willis met the selection committee’s sole criterion,” explained chairman Cahuna Roberts. ‘That is, Willis was tall. We wanted a tall president.” Mr. Reed, currently a center on the New York Knicks, said he was leaving basketball for the University because he wanted ‘‘an intellectual challenge.’ Mr. Reed is preparing for his new job by taking a remedial reading course at St. Luke’s school for the deaf. Rumors of Dr. Ketta’s departure and Mr. Reed’s takeover have been circulating since last year when Student Association ‘ (SA) officials first proposed Mr. name to the selection committee. Reed’s Sexual misdemeanors Two days after his name was proposed, the committee received a tip from an anonymous caller charging that Mr. Reed had “participated activities.’ Mr bi-sexual Cahuna then in president Peter Reegan; and TV personality Dorothy Kilgalen. Ms. Kilgalen’s name was withdrawn when the committee found out that she had been dead for three years. Lock up the faculty Dr. Reegan, who served as 1970 riots and is best known for having most University’s faculty of the arrested, said he had applied because he wanted to show people that he wasn’t ‘‘as stupid as everybody thought.” He was reported to be the committee’s top choice until he was arrested last month on charges of exposing president during the himself to a kindergarten class. The committee then narrowed the list to two finalists, Mr. Cahuna explained, “Lady Bird and Willis.” Our choice was simple, he said in detailing the rigorous selection procedure. “We the taller simply picked candidate.” Mr, angry Cahuna became when it was suggested that various criteria other than height should have been used in selecting the new University President. launched a full-scale investigation proved which that Willis’ ‘Clyde’ teammate Walter Frazier, had been the Knick guilty of “bi-sexual behavior.” “We didn’t want to be like New York City.

In their grievance, the Lee sisters (Home Lee, Ghast Lee, Ug Lee, and Beast Lee) have charged that Dr. Lecher grades strictly on their curves. In a related development, Norton Hall Director Jim Goober announced today the the Norton Hall staff will conduct an all-out effort to rid the first floor of the Union of these so-called “JAPs.” There has been a tremendous influx of snobby princesses from the Amherst Campus this year, according to Dr. Goober, He emphasized: “We arc particularly concerned With those girls who have a history of sunlamps and nosejobs.’ Meanwhile, Academic Affairs vice-president Bernard Greenbaum issued a statement today that discredits the commonly-held belief that “a girl’s intellect is inversely proportional to the size of her breasts.” He offered the pea-brain intellects of Amherst Campus Japs as proof of this hypothesis. Pleasing and teasing Dr. Greenbaum also criticized these girls (the Japs] for their lack of motivation and disinterest in their schoblwork. ‘They don’t care about classes, all they want are quaaludes and laughing gas,” Dr. Greenbaum maintained. Robert Hunt, Director of Environmental Health and Safety, said: The platform shoes worn by this particular strain of Long Island Jap are neither safe nor attractive. The girls have reportedly been wearing these shoes with “painter’s pants” in an effort to hide the flab at the top of their thighs that has accumulated due to a lack of activity (sexual or otherwise) this winter. Mr. Hunt went on to say, “If they pleased half as much as they have teased, they would be in much better shape in time for the spring 1974 halter top season,” he added. JAPs must register Turning to the economy, Bookstore Manager Tom More announced that he intends to heavily stock the “Jones Beach” type sun reflectors this spring. WNYP1RG announced that they hope to soon complete their consumer study of tanning oils and cremes. They intend to post their results on the Amherst Bus and in the first floor Norton cafeteria. The Student Association has announced that they will be running a registration drive next week to help “keep the JAP’s honest.” According to Jeff Sam, Director of Public Information, males will be asked to register the names and social security numbers of the Japs they have encountered, will be asked to rate them on a scale of l-to-10 as to “action,” and to briefly describe their experiences. When asked to give the names of some of the princesses that have been the subject of this article, Mr. Sam replied: “That’s not necessary . . , we all know who they are . . they know who they are . . . Don’t you?” . MCP ‘Daily News’, ‘Newsweek’ coverage compared by Eggman The media is often accused of slanting its news coverage according to bias, liberal or conservative. In the interests of evaluating the media’s performance, we excerpts from two have compiled publications, the New York Daily News and Newsweek Magazine, on the same news events relating to Watergate over the last two years, so that our readers can compare the emphasis and nuances of their coverage and judge for themselves if any discernable bias exists. 1) Watergate break-in Dailey News: In a third-rate burglary so stupid and ill-conceived that it could not possibly have any connection with highei-ups (which is why we are burying this story on page 17], three frustrated spies and four ex-Cubans were caught by police last night trying to wiretap the Democratic party headquarters in a Washington hotel whose name escapes us. Newsweek: In an event so morally shocking that it could change the course of the 1972 Presidential election, seven underlings, obviously acting on orders, were arrested last week for trying to bug the Democratic party headquarters in Washington’s Watergate Hotel and thereby subvert the two-party competition in favor of the party in power (the Republicans). 2) John Dean s Senate testimony Daily News: His voice quivering, his glasses fogging, his statements contradicting that of every other Watergate witness, the President’s turncoat counsel John Dean shuffled his interpretations yesterday in telling the Senate that President Nixon’s protests against hush money payments were somewhat less than enthusiastic. Newsweek: Dropping bombshells every few minutes which might fatally cripple the Nixon Presidency, former White House counsel John Dean revealed last week that President Nixon explicitly approved hush money payments and executive clemency to silence the Watergate defendants so they wouldn’t reveal their connections to the White House inner circle. 3) Firing of Archibald Cox News: Daily Exercising his constitutional responsibility to dismiss employees from the executive branch, President Nixon yesterday fired Archibald Cox, the highly-partisan, Democratic party sympathizer Special Prosecutor. Newsweek: In a shocking and morally bankrupt breach of his promise to Congress and a political miscalculation that could President Nixon cost him his office massacred Archibald Cox last Saturday night as the Special Prosecutor’s hot breath and his on the President’s neck investigation approaching paydirt became unbearable. 4) 18-minute gap discovered on a tape \ , . — — — — - Daily News: The victim of a cheap and malfunctioning tape recorder like so many other Americans, President Nixon was horrified to announce yesterday that one of the subpoenaed Watergate tapes had mysteriously deyploped an 18-minute buzzing sound which Chief of Staff Alexander Haig attributed to unnoticed tampering by the devil, an old political foe of Mr. Nixon’s. Newsweek: An air of desperation exuded from the White House last week after President Nixon announced that one of the subpoenaed Watergate tapes contained an 18-minuteblank gap which just ‘"happened” to cover Mr. Nixon’s discussion with H.R. Haldeman about dealing with the Watergate break-in and an explanation which no rational citizen or member of Congress is expected to accept. 5) Indictments of 7 of Nixon’s top aides Daily News: Seven former aides in the Nixon Administration were indicted yesterday for formerly conspiring to obstruct justice in their former jobs as one-time aides to the President, since — — dismissed. tighter last week as seven of President Nixon’s most trusted and intimate advisors were indicted for obstructing justice, causing official Washington to shake its collective head and mutter, “How could he not have known?” 6) The impeachment of President Nixon Daily News: In an undisguised triumph for the liberal media, the Eastern elite and other radical and subversive forces which refused to accept the American people’s mandate of 1972, liberals and partisans hostile to the President succeeded yesterday in a political power play to muster enough votes to allow the Senate to consider President Nixon’s conduct in office on its merits. Newsweek: In the long-awaited action which for many months seemed as excruciatingly slow as it did inevitable, the House voted last week to impeach whom the latest Harris President Nixon Poll said six of ten Americans would like to see have a fatal heart attack, three of ten would like to $ee impeached then guillotined, and two of ten just exiled, banished or exorcised and set the stage for Mr. Nixon to either quit ignominously or emotionally plead his case before the Senate, where conviction seems certain. — — Newsweek: As the last hours of the Nixon Presidency slowly tick away, the circle around the Oval Office drew ever Cartwright on campus Dan Blocker of Bonanza fame will speak today at 2 p.m. in Haas Lounge.

You make my head spin with those brutal editorials on the fate of the Colleges and the arming of Campus Security. (I never feel secure without you.) Ooooooh! You’re another il Office The callous disregard for human welfare exhibited by President Nixon's latest actions (whatever they were) are a moral affront to all Americans. Totally consistent with his lifelong policy of increasing the military budget while castrating social spending, his crude insensitivity must only heighten the inevitable drive toward impeachment, which will cleanse the Presidency of Mr. Nixon's morally offensive, totally inhuman and often even smelly presence. The total incompetence which has now enveloped the Federal bureaucracy has underscored the inefficiency on the state level, led by the bumbling Malcolm Wilson. Mr. Wilson, whom insiders privately concede "doesn't know what the hell's going on," approaches the stupidity of Gerald Ford, a mental midget who has difficulty reading his cue cards properly. Mr. Ford's mindless mumbling has caused White House press secretary Ron Ziegler to insist to skeptical newsmen that the Vice-President could so walk and chew gum at the same time. "Listen, fellas," Ziegler told the newsmen, "he's better than Spiro, isn't he?" But the overriding moral bankruptcy which is paralyzing the country, especially the liberal East and the readers of The New York Times and Newsweek, is emanating from the Oval Off ice and the moral cripple who occupies it. The discovery of the secret Nixxon Corporation receiving laundered money from the oil companies only confirms the widespread knowledge that Mr. Nixon is in bed with big business, a fact which has greatly disturbed Pat. An informal poll of frustrated drivers on a three-mile-long gasoline line in New York City produced 12 violent reactions, 3 vomitings and 4 epileptic fitsas soon as the President's name was mentioned. But the most serious offense committed by the slimy far worse than the secret bombing of Cambodia President is his chiseling on his income or the Watergate break-in taxes. For this is an offense which the majority of Americans can fully understand, since they all do it. How can the average, hard-working, middle-America Joe now resist fiddling with his IRS figures when the nation's Chief who earns well in excess of his $200,000 salary Executive is caught taking a $244 deduction for fake every year gasoline bills? That, coupled with Mr. Nixon's heart-rending donation of $1.39 to charity during his first five years in office, have exposed the President for what he really is Tennesse Williams when it comes to writing about the things you love.

Frost — — cheap. The man who snuffed out the lives of millions of Asians now threatens to subvert the Constitution, prolong the energy crisis, and fix up his house on the side, too. His attacks on the media reveal his deep-seated paranoia of anything human, and people are starting to wonder why the President of the United States doesn't talk to anybody except Haig, Ziegler, his teddy bear and his tape recorder. His threat to send B-52's over the nation's football stadiums if the NFL players go on strike is proof of his mental instability and his machismo jock mentality. He has even stopped reading his telegrams from Henry Kissinger, proof positive that he doesn't know what's going on, and well-placed sources reveal he plans to have CBS newsman Dan Rather arrested at his next news conference. The moral callousness with which Mr. Milhous has abused his office has even danaged his standing among the last group to blindly believe Kim, the fourth-graders in the "slow" group. 'This guy subverts the entire country, and 1 get canned for taking a few harmless dollars on the side," laments the former Spiro Agnew. But the lames in Congress lack the courage to do anything except nervously read public opinion polls and hope the whole thing will either go away, resolve itself or be rescheduled for after Election Day. It is obvious that Mr. Nixon will not resign unless promised total immunity, San Clemente, two Air Force One jets and a new tape recorder. Besides, resignation is too easy, and impeachment is far too slow. We must hound Mr. Nixon from office, exile him, banish him, exorcise him, guillotine him, and kick him in the behind as well. Every minute he remains in office is another minute of rising gas prices, official lying, and the cancellation of your favorite TV shows for news bulletins on the latest Watergate revelations (itself an impeachable offense).

Gerald Ford t �Tales from Topographic Oceans Yes Most people don’t realize how difficult it is to write a record review. One encounters so many pitfalls that after a while it seems pointless to plod on any further. The experienced reviewer, hpwever, adroitly sidesteps these obstacles, cleverly weaving his way towards the culmination of a technically perfect review. A myriad tof possibilities are open to you, the reviewer, as you stare at the blank sheet of paper in your typewriter. Should you take a straightforward, cut-by-cut pack-a-wallop, or a hard-nosed approach the-whole-album-sucks attitude? O' iybe a healthy do r of journalistic surrealism to convey to the reader your impressions upon first hearing the disc? Perhaps a short history of the artist and his art, including some little-known . biographical facts and other miscellaneous esoteria, concluding with a where-do-we-go-from-hcrc note of looking to the future, excusing the artist for a “transitional” album. Or maybe a what-thc-hell, no-holds-barred, ass-kickin’, jive-shuckin’, get-down-to-it, rock on approach. All you need do is take youfpick and you’ll soon be on your way, writing brilliant reviews, winning the respect of musicians, the public, your fellow journalists, and raking in cratefuls of free albums as well. Soon you will have the power to make or break an artist. An unkind word in a review will cause thousands to pass up an album they would have greedily snatched from the bins had your review been more favorable. Similarly, the right phrases have the power to rocket an unknown to stardom; It’s all in your hands as the reviewer. But the job is not yet finished! The meat of a good review should consist of more than just an “approach.” :ent reviewer asks himself questions; How long Th< should the review be? Do I like the album? What is my attitude towards this type of music in general? Before you can answer this last question, you must first classify the album. Classical? Jazz? Easy Listening? Acid-rock? Middle-of-the-road? Folk? Glitter-rock? Classical-rock? Jazz-rock? Soul? Folk-rock? 50’s-rock? Once you have pigeonholed the album into a convenient category, you can let loose with the superlatives. It goes without saying that if the album you’re reviewing weren’t an important musical event, yon just wouldn’t be reviewing it. You are therefore perfectly justified in using every known superlative. Fantastic! Fine. Excellent. Incredible! Amazing! A mind-boggler. And if the album doesn’t fit any of these superlatives, then it’s mellow and laid-back; some find down-home pickin’. Be sure to give honorable mention to keyboard wizards and other swift-fingered demons. A reviewer is nothing without his superlatives. And last but certainly not least is the concluding paragraph, where you tie together all the loose ends. -Russell Schoenwetter Speakers’Bureau contracts record-breaking Shoelaces by the Gimp Minutes after Bureau announced Shoelaces’ Non-contributing Editor Speakers Board Chairman Bob Bureau has announced the signing of high school basketball star Tyrone Shoelaces to give a speech in Clark Hall gymnasium on April 31. Shoelaces, a 4-foot, II-inch phenom from Newark, New Jersey, led his H. Rap Brown High School team to the national title. Shoelaces confesses that an addiction to the sport, which he refers to as a “Basketball Jones,” is the secret of his success. His talk will be titled “The socio-cultural factors of being a basketball prodigy in 20th century racist New Jersey.” In leading his team to a record 455 wins this season, Tyrone established a new scoring record (132.957 points per game) as well as leading the league in rebounds, assists, trips to the bathroom, stealing nets and baiting homosexual referees. engagement, the Athletic Department denied reports that Shoelaces will be an instructor at their summer basketball clinic. ‘Tyrone may be the best in the world,” said Basketball coach Leo REICHERTson, “but that doesn’t mean he is qualified to teach.” “Of course we’d love to have him come here and play for us,” REICHERTson continued, praising the youngster’s ability. “But we can’t match the offer he got from NYBITCH (New York Basketball Institute 6f Technology at Champaign Hill). They promised him tuition, room and board, books, a new car and lower Manhattan, New Jersey and southern Connecticut. We may get his teammate Bones Jefferson, the 7-foot, 5-inch forward who plays next to Shoelaces.” Jefferson will graduate Rap Brown High this June after seven years as an all-state selection in basketball and stealing cars. What a drag making NCAA playoffs year after year ... A strong pitching staff and an improved defense will be the keys if the baseball Bulls are to earn a repeat trip to the NCAA playoffs this spring.

The Bull hitting is paced by armless first baseman Warren Host. ‘They say that you can hit with your eyes closed, so I can do it without swining a bat,” Host acknowledged. The limbless lion was credited with the Bulls only round-tripper last season, when the pitcher, laughing at his appearance, rolled the ball into the stands. The umpire suffered a temporary attack of insanity and allowed all four runners to score, giving Buffalo a 4-3 win over St. Mary’s School for the Deaf. The play was scored as a home run under “Buffalo rules.” ‘That was a fair win, and don't you dare dispute it,” stormed Monkey, raving, ranting and foaming at the mouth to indicate the end of the interview. — No show Wednesday April 3 Capen 140 7 p.m. A STAR IS BORN Dir.

Monday, 1 April 1974 The Spectrum Page nine . . �—Stere* $enseless JbsT MR FlM by Eggman The first Buffalo, N.Y. (TS) annual dope-smoking marathon, which began on January 14, ended today at Buffalo’s War Stadium Five regional champions from all over the country tested their physical and mental stamina in the meet. The contestants were: Harry Hemp from Flatbush; Waterpipe Willie from Waco, Texas; Jerry Head from LA.; RoachClip Ralph from Rochester and Jessica J of Jersey City, N.J. The contestants began with a pound apiece, as the three judges looked on: R. Ketter, M. Amico and the honorable Monsieur Zig Zag, flown in from the Turkish border. The action started strong with all five contestants smoking their brains out. Harry Hemp, who was weaned on home-grown Pennsylvania Ave. pot, grabbed an early lead. He was disqualified three-quarters of a pound later when he suffered an asthma attack and was rushed to a hospital in Canarsie. Jerry the Head from LA. entered War Memorial Stadium riding a surfboard, smoking six joints at once and combing his hair back at the same time. The other contestants also started - strong. Keep ’em rolling A six-ton rolling machine was brought in to keep the J’s rolling. Monsieur Zig Zag, wearing a Grateful Dead T-shirt, watched over things and advertised his new Kama Sutra rolling paper. “Draft card and American flag rolling paper sales were a little low,” explained Zig Zag. A peaking crowd of 15 people were on hand as the action moved into the second half, after five pounds. Though far in the lead, Jerry the Head dropped out of when his comb competition broke, creating an emotional disorder. Roach-Clip Ralph from disqualified Rochester was because of his birthplace, and an insistence to drink a Genesee beer with each joint. Bowl vs. joint As the marathon moved into October, it became a two-man race: Jessica J vs. Waterpipe Willie. Jessica J. whose enveloping chest cavity enabled her to inhale an excess of smoke, cleaned out several pipes, including the judges’. The confrontation brought about a contrast in styles: Waterpipe Willie, filling up bowl after bowl, versus Jessica’s, joint-filled mouth. Willie, who filled his waterpipe with everything from strawberry wine to Ncstle’s Quik, choked to death when he filled his tube with Lake Erie water. Thus, Jersey City’s Jessica J “copped” the title. A few minutes after letting out the winning toke, Jessica pulled out a joint and said: "Anybody got a match?” Jessica received $10,000, a pound of Acapulco Gold, and was seen leaving in Monsieur Zig Zag’s Cadillac. Thus War Memorial Stadium was cleared for another stoned-out act; the Buffalo Bills.

And that four channel system was just purchased in Bayside, New York but this report is, as yet, unconfirmed. • Some people have also been wondering: “Where can I get “Four Channel Records” for my “Four Channel System?” Well, two major 33rpm discs have already been released in “Four Channel, 1 ‘Four Charnel Stereo’ Checkout Record (Commandd 1-4Q), a fine test for balance and frequency response employing a Kram Kabot, a part-time lecturer on ‘Customer Behavior Modification in Retail Sales” (BusAd I01Z), is the author of a forthcoming book. The Sound Dollar, and How To Earn It to be released for Christmas gift-giving by Spiff-Ganef Publishers of North Ithaca, New York. If you’ve been just “getting ‘two along” on outdated channel” stereo for the past few years, then you’ve been missing out on one of the wildest new experiences that audio has to offer: “Four Channel Sound.” “Four Channel Stereo” (or “Quad,” as the real “hi-fi buffs” are calling it these days) puts you right in the middle of a symphony orchestra, hearing music just as the flautists do. Some prospective buyers have “When you been asking: introduced stereo, you said 1 needed two channels because I have two ears. Why do I need four channels now, even though I still have two ears?” Posing this question is like asking why you need four wheels on your car even though you only have two feet. Channel Stereo’ Test Record cycle Well, take those rear wheels off (Commandd 1-4Q2) with 60 and an front channel hum right you can your car and see how far entire side devoted to ‘‘White get!

Well, a new amplifier, make two obsolete?” The answer is that two new speakers, a demodulator, cartridge for “Four Channel Stereo” has a decoder, and a new in all, Sound,” “Four Channel channel stereo already made two obsolete.

Actually, that s not a large price to pay for the great improvements that “Four Channel Sound” has to offer. Thumbs Down on Discounts One of the snottier questions that the ‘cheapie” crowd has been asking these days is; “Can I get a price on ‘Four Channel Stereo’?” Well maybe you can and maybe you can’t, but one of the best things happening in audio today is the growing use of monopolistic fair trade laws and price control agreements that may soon eliminate “discounts” altogether, reminding people that you get what you pay for and the kind of government you deserve.” Fair trade and price control get “put-down” a lot these days ‘ (mainly by cry-baby “consumer advocates” who wouldn’t know a yearly statement if they fell over it), but actually these laws and agreements are good for the dealer and even good for the — customer. Think of all the boring hours you might spend trying to save a measly 30_or 40 per cent on your “Four Channel” system, shopping for wasteful and bothersome “discounts.” In addition to your inconvenience, discounts drive audio prices down, frazzling the nerves of hi-fi dealers and salesmen alike. Fair trade and price control can help the dealer forget about wasteful discounts and self-destructive “competition” and can also help you, the consumer, stop worrying about prices and “savings” and let you begin listening to your new “Four Channel Stereo” system today!

At the same time, the “mushrooming backlog of drug cases” is “clogging the courts,” explained Judge Frank Bayger, who heads one of the state’s new drug courts. The backlog in Erie County courts has increased from 254 cases to 360 cases since last fall, a clogging which many critics of the law predicted as it went into effect last September 1. “Either we have failed to educate the public, or else drug users are not concerned” about the harsher penalties, said Judge Bayger. Or perhaps users are ignoring - — the law because of a habit or because of the money involved, he speculated. “A large part of the increase in arrests is in marijuana and other soft drugs,” said Captain Kevin Connors, head of the Buffalo Police Department’s Narcotics Squad. Hard drug arrests are down, he indicated, and statistics show that heroin and cocaine arrests have dropped steadily since September 1, although they picked up slightly after January. ‘The law won’t have much impact until some offenders are sent away,” Captain Connors predicted. ‘The law had a substantial impact at first, but now it’s wearing off,” commented Erie County Sheriff Michael Amico. “Heroin dealers are becoming more cautious,” he said. ‘The new law may have affected supply there may be less traffic in hard drugs.” Michael L. D’Amico, Chief Criminal Deputy for the Sheriffs Department, agreed: “Dealers are moving underground. They have apprehensions about selling, and are extremely careful about selling to strangers.” Mr. D’Amico belives that hard drugs such as heroin and cocaine are “less readily available,” and that therefore the new drug law has had some effect. He noted an increase in prices of hard drugs such as heroin and cocaine since the new law took effect. “With the increase in the risk, the dealers wanted an increase in their profit margin,” Mr. D’Amico said. - Drug arrests by the Buffalo Police have increased from 36 each month in 1973 to 44 each month since the new drug law took effect. Buffalo Police also made 54 more drug arrests in January and February than in the same period in 1973. Since Captain Connors indicated that hard drug arrests are down, many of the increased number of arrests must be for soft drugs like marijuana and hashish. One section of the new drug law which most people aren’t familiar with is an option available to those caught with 1/4 ounce or less of marijuana. If the person has no prior drug record, he may apply for an “Adjournment in Contemplation of Dismissal” (ACD). Awarded at the judge’s discretion, this plea allows for the dismissal of the drug charge, and if the person is not arrested on drug charges for six months after the court ruling, any indication of the arrest is expunged from his record. As of September 1, mandatory life sentences became law for posession and sale of certain “major” narcotics such as heroin, cocaine, opium and morphine, regardless of the quantity. Also eliminated were most forms of plea bargaining, in which a defendant is permitted to plead guilty to a lesser charge in return for information on major narcotics distributors. Critics predicted that this would further insulate big-time drug dealers and add thousands of trials to the overburdened courts, since plea bargaining is a relatively fast way to dispose of a case. Former Governor Nelson Rockefeller, who proposed the law in even harsher form than that passed by the State Legislature, claimed that adding 100 additional judges in special drug courts would take care of the new influx of cases. “What’s discouraging is that we’re falling further behind,” said Judge Bayger. Because of the harsh penalties, many drug cases are harder to dispose of, and defense lawyers try to drag out proceedings by taking advantage of legal technicalities simply because in the face of a mandatory life sentence, there is no other hope. Many judges have criticized the law because of the lack of flexibility allowed in sentencing; a judge must often impose a life sentence “whether he likes it or not,” said Ken Norwich, a New York Civil Liberties Union attorney. Many policemen feel the limitations on plea < - bargaining have "tied their hands” in seeking to elicit information from the small-time user about higher-ups. The new law removed marijuana and hashish from the list of dangerous drugs, but first offenders possessing more than one ounce of grass still face a 1-5 year minimum sentence or 15-year maximum at the judge’s discretion. Possession of one or two joints carries a one year maximum sentence with the minimum anything less than that. But possessing from 1/4 ounce to one ounce of marijuana (or more than 25 joints) carries a maximum of 3-7 years and a minimum of one year. “The new laws have not stopped people from using and dealing drugs,” said a Buffalo lawyer who preferred to remain nameless. “People have not seen the effects of the new law. The court process is too slow.” Drug traffic may decrease, however, when some life sentences are given out, he said; “Seeing a friend or acquaintance being put away for life should discourage many people from dealing.” The courts are much harsher since the new laws,” said the lawyer. He cited one case where a man was charged with possessing 1.9 ounces of marijuana and was sentenced to five years in prison. Also, less people are getting off due to illegal search, as judges are less likely to dismiss a case where there is a question of illegal search, he indicated. The New York State penalties for marijuana, considered harsh by many, are not necessarily indicative of a nationwide trend. In Oregon, for instance, marijuana was decriminalized last fall, with possession of one ounce or less a misdemeanor similar to a parking violation. Possession of one ounce of grass there carries a maximum $100 fine and no criminal record. The purpose of the Oregon law is to focus on the dealer instead of the user. Most college-educated people can’t understand why marijuana has not,been legalized, especially when alcohol, which many consider more harmful, is legal. It seems to them that most people would be in favor of decriminalizing marijuana like in Oregon. However, this is not the case. ‘'70 per cent of the population is against the passing of a law legalizing the sale and use of marijuana,” according to a recent Harris Poll which surveyed a —continued on psg* 8 — �GSA elections President and vice president win after running unopposed by Diane Miller Spectrum Staff Writer Tony Schamel was elected President of the Graduate Student Association (GSA) Tuesday night at a GSA Senate meeting which stressed the importance of finding out exactly what graduate students want. The candidates for president and administrative vice-president ran unopposed. The final results were: President: Tony Schamel, 23; Maharaj Ticku, I; Terry Fefilippo, 1; John Greenwood, 1. Administrative vice-president: Bill Olcszko, 24; George Kobas, 1;Mike Rosen, 1. Student Affairs vice-president: Lisa Richer, 24; Vincenzo Milione, 4; Mike Rosen, 1.

A -u Senate impoalait “Graduate students have definite interests,” Mr. Schamel commented after the election, emphasizing that he will “look after” those interests. He will seek to establish a “smooth operation in the GSA Senate.” Mr. Schamel added; ‘The Senate body is students, and they are the ultimate control.” To make the GSA Senate more viable, he plans to “have the Senate notify me as to what actions it thinks are necessary. I expect to make decisions that are appropriate for graduate students’ interests, and to work effectively with faculty and Administration so that there are good relations between students,” he asserted. Mr. Schamel’s main priority is “legislative action,” specifically the. financing of graduate education. “Several * * Tony Schamel appointees are working in that area, and I will utilize them to that end,” he explained. His other concerns include internal student affairs, which he hopes will be handled through proper channels by the GSA executive most closely associated with the specific issues. Prison college plans slashed from budget Inmates at the Bedford Hills Correctional Facility will not be given a chance to move back into society and lead productive lives, because the proposed State University college for prisoners at Bedford Hills has been slashed from the State budget. The program, approved by the SUNY system and SUNY Chancellor Ernest Boyer in November, would have allowed male and female inmates to enroll full-time in a SUNY college at Bedford Hills for two-year associate degrees in the liberal arts and sciences. In voting against the proposed $500,000 expenditure, opponents argued that the Bedford Hills College would duplicate existing prison education programs offered by local SUNY campuses. Others felt the college should be expanded to include the working poor before accommodating prison inmates. Bedford Hills College would have been the only tuition-free unit within the SUNY system, with fully-transferrable credits to other SUNY colleges. It also would have served as a pilot program in a possible network of inmate educational facilities. The idea for the college grew from studies undertaken to improve the prison system following the Attica rebellion in 1971. There are no plans at present to seek funding for the prison college in the State Legislative’s supplemental budget. Mr. Oleszko, who was elected Administrative vice-president, plans to keep the graduate students aware of “what their student fees are doing for them.” He explained: “I will keep students aware of the referendum coming up next spring, and make it known when GSA is sponsoring something.” Mr. Oleszko would like to see new clubs in the GSA, and plans “minor physical restructuring of the GSA office for better communications.” Opposes cutbacks Ms. Richer, the new Student Affairs vice-president, plans to safeguard the current tuition waiver program for graduate students and find additional funds for incoming students. She will also work to increase general student participation in GSA. Affirmative Action, a national program seeking to aggressively recruit women and minorities in University hiring, is the top priority of External Affairs vice-president-elect George Boger. He will fight cutbacks in teaching assistants, research assistants, stipends and financial assistance, and will oppose tuition increases. “1 would also like to develop and maintain graduate student participation in departmental policies that affect them,” Mr. Boger stressed, including admissions, faculty appointments, and development of academic programs. Mr. Boger also supports a “shift in educational priorities” to develop public, as opposed to private, education. He will also work for increased participation on Governance committees and more coordination between internal and external affairs. Mr. Kobas, Treasurer-elect, wants the allocations to clubs funded by GSA distributed more equally. He plans to use surveys to help the Finance Committee “respond better to how students want their fees spent,” and to work more closely with other GSA Executive Committee members. “Bringing lecturers and films not supplied by the graduate clubs or Sub-Board to the campus” is another of Mr. Kobas’ goals. Housing for married students, health care, entertainment, Scholar Incentive, and unionizing were other issues discussed at the election meeting. GSA is waiting for an opinion from SUNY Legal Counsel to see whether student fees can be used for housing. Ketter questions legality of studentfeesfor health care President Robert Ketter is still awaiting a legal opinion from University legal counsel John Leach before deciding whether student-funded health including Sub-Board’s services at this University Birth Control Clinic, pregnancy counseling center and clinical laboratory can continue to be financed by student fees. Mr. Leach is studying a legal memorandum from State University of New York counsel Walter Relihan to determine whether “the use of mandatory fees for medical supplies and services is outside the intent of mandatory fee guidelines,” a stance that has been taken by Anthony Lorenzetti, associate vice president for Student Affairs. Dr. Lorenzetti’s veto last month of expenditures by Sub-Board’s Birth Control Clinic unleashed a flood of protests from Sub-Board officials; it also raised the entire issue of whether student fees can be spent for health care. The ensuing controversy prompted President Ketter to seek clarification of — — the fee guidelines from Albany; Dr. Ketter is still awaiting his counsel’s interpretation of the “legalistic language” of Dr. Relihan’s memo before making a decision. Dr. Ketter denied at a Faculty-Student Association (FSA) meeting Tuesday that FSA was trying to get into the health care business, adding that this University is “bucking strong SUNY positions” in keeping student-run health care going. While awaiting clarification of the legal opinion, Dr. Ketter has allowed Sub-Board to honor past financial commitments, but has refused to permit the Health Care Division to use student fees for future expenses. Meanwhile, Sub-Board has been given the go-ahead to set up an income generating “revolving account” (which does not receive subsidies from mandatory student fees) to continue its operations. This has already forced a price increase in student health services, according to Healthcare Division director A1 Campagna. Europe-Israel-Africa-So.

Passed last Monday by the New York State Legislators, the TAP proposal originally allotted increased financial aid primarily to students attending private colleges and to low-income students entering the SUNY system. At the same time, it decreased awards to incoming, middle-income SUNY students. SASU opposed the bill in this form and successfully lobbied for the “Save-Harmless Proposition.” This amendment entitles students entering college to the same financial awards they are presently eligible for, and will cost an additional $1 to $2 million a year. “That’s $1 to $2 million it will save the students each year,” commented Ray Glass, SASU Legislative leader. Under the present Scholar Incentive Program, a student can be awarded from $100 to $600 depending on income. TAP will provide $100 to $1700 for students entering private colleges and from $100 to full tuition to those entering the State University, also contingent on income. Proponents of the program hope it will allow high school graduates greater freedom of choice between schools. The overall cost of TAP will require a $71.5 million increase above present allocations. As the TAP program is phased in over the next four years, the Scholar Incentive Program will gradually be eliminated and phased out. TAP will not affect students presently in college, but will provide increased aid to students entering college after June 1, 1974. “This victory for SUNY students represents more than just financial gain," said SASU President Brian Petraitis. “It is a strong indication that we are able to successfully speak for ourselves on matters representing the best interests of public higher education Students, as a political force in New York and independent agent for change,” Mr. Peti SASU’s legislative victory.

Food Service estimated that a seconds table for the Goodyear and Amherst cafeterias would cost future.” Most members agreed that increased food costs, along with the demand for a seconds table, would compel FSA to raise board contract prices when they are reviewed in May. Explaining that Food Service is one of the only units in the State without a compulsory meal plan, President Robert Ketter also asked FSA to consider whether Food Service should continue “to maintain as great a degree of flexibility as possible.” Friday, 29 March 1974 The Spectrum Page three . . �Bio Department to split over conflicting views they would operate better alone.

In the Buffalo area, blood costs about $25 to S30 per unit (a unit equals one pint), and in an operation requiring 40 units of blood, this can run into quite a sum of money. In areas other than Buffalo, a unit of blood may run as high as $80. Fortunately, beginning April 8, this University will put a new blood policy into effect in conjunction with the American Red Cross. On April 8, the Red Cross blood donor recruitment staff will be in Norton Hall from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. to collect blood from students, faculty, and employees who volunteer their arms. In return, all students, faculty, and employees as well as their relatives (parents, grandparents, children, spouses, in-laws, and siblings of unmarried persons) will be covered for an unlimited supply of blood anywhere in the United States or Canada. The usual Red Cross policy is that any relatives of donors are automatically covered. This presently covers about 30% of the students at this University, according to Peter von Borg, director of Recruitment for the Greater Buffalo Regional Chapter. The new policy, which goes into effect on April 8, the same day that blood will be collected in Norton Hall, will offer unlimited coverage to every University student, faculty member, and employee. In return, the University must come up with 1200 units of volunteer blood within the next year. - — “Out of 25,000 students, 1200 units is a very small amount, and within realistic limits, we expect to have no trouble attaining this amount,” said Mr. von Borg. “We expect to get about 200 units on April 8. We are only sorry that our staff cannot accommodate more donors, because we are sure that many more students will be willing to donate.” Blackstock, Laurie field for donor recruitment, representative expects to return to this campus sometime this summer. Several more visits are planned for next fall to collect the remainder of the 1200 units. The Greater Buffalo Regional Chapter of the Red Cross recently received a cancellation of 800 units from one of its industrial banks and is running a severe deficit. They are greatly in need of any help they can get, and are hoping that volunteers from this University will strengthen their blood supply. The Buffalo community, explained Mr. von Borg, needs 300 units per working day. As of July 1, 1974,total coverage will take effect in the city of Buffalo, as it is already in effect in the suburbs, thereby covering 2 million persons. “We have only been collecting 67,000 units in a year,” said Mr. von Borg, “but we expect this figure to rise to 74,000 for 1974-75. However, with the present amount we can supply 90,000 recipients by separating the blood into its components, using the same blood to aid five patients at once.” The Red Cross program is licensed by the Federal government and maintains standards established by the US. Public Health Service for biological products. Physicians, nurses, and qualified technologists supervise technical aspects. Page four The Spectrum Friday, 29 March 1974 . . while Red Cross volunteers do the non-technical work. The entire process of donating, brief physical which includes a examination, filling out forms of medical history, and refreshments takes 45 minutes, while the actual donation will only take 7 minutes. Students who wish to donate can make an appointment at the Red Cross booth in Norton Hall to save themselves time, although persons without an appointment will also be welcomed. It is expected to be crowded, as the staff is limited, so prospective donors should not be discouraged by long lines, but are advised to return an hour later when accommodation may be better. Donors should eat well before coming. There are several criteria used for deferment, and the donor should be aware of these before signing up. The donor must be between 17 and 65 years, and weigh at least 110 pounds. Donors with a history of hepatitis are permanently deferred, while those exposed to jaundice or hepatitis are deferred for six months. Persons taking oral antibiotics will be deferred for two weeks, and for one month following penicillin injections. Infectious mononucleosis will be deferred for six months following recovery. There are several other causes for deferment, but donors should not be discouraged, and can return after the appropriate time period. One person may donate up to five times in one year. When donating blood on April 8, students, faculty, and employees should credit it to this University. Then, when they or any of their family requires blood, they can contact A1 Campagne, director of Sub-Board’s Health Care Division Most patients will only need red cell transfusions because the red cell contains hemoglobin, which is needed for oxygen Several proteins from the plasma are used as derivatives. These are serum albumin, used in the treatment of shock and correction for low blood protein; gamma globin, used as antibodies against some diseases; and fibrinogen, essential in the formation of blood clots. The platelets can be given to leukemia victims to stop bleeding, while these cells also have an important role in blood clotting. Hemophiliacs can benefit from the cryoprecipitate, an enzyme which helps the blood to clot. The blood is separated into these derivatives by centrifugation. Once separated, the platelets can only be stored for 24 hours, while whole blood may be stored for 21 days. Thus, in the event a leukemia patient needs platelets, a donor will have to be telephoned immediately for donation. When blood transfusions were first performed, the vein or artery of the donor had to be sewn to the recipient. Later, tubes were used to connect the veins of donor and recipient, although this allowed little control over the amount that could be transfused. Along with progress, it was discovered that the best method was to extract the donor’s blood into a bottle containing an anticoagulant solution, allowing the blood to be refrigerated until needed. It is stored at 39 degrees—43 degrees F. The predominant medical uses for blood arc for anemia, shock, blood diseases, low protein, and burns. �Commen Arthur Eve: frantic cries, questionable motives by Gary Cohn Campus Editor It is sad to see an honorable' man pursuing worthy goals in a dishonorable way. But that is exactly what State Assemblyman Arthur Eve is doing in his endeavor to pressure the State University of Buffalo to step up its Affirmative Action program for the hiring of black faculty and staff. Specifically, Mr. Eve has accused this University of racial discrimination in its hiring practices. He has based this allegation primarily on incorrect statistics on the number of black misguided faculty and information about who is eligible for tenure. Mr. Eve has repeated his charges in a series of letters to ■ University President Robert copies of these letters to scores of state legislators, University officials and civil rights groups, as well as the local and student press. Curiously, Mr. Eve’s letters to Dr. Ketter charging racial bias always arrived at Dr. Ketter’s office last, lending support to Dr. Ketter’s “concern” Ketter has sent and that the purpose of Mr. Eve’s letters were not that of securing information, but rather that of securing election publicity by attacking this University. of black faculty by bringing forth data compiled by the campus Office of Equal Opportunity. Dr. Ketter has provided facts, while Mr. Eve has cited incorrect warped statistics and interpretations of these statistics. And yet Mr. Eve has called Dr. Ketter a liar, and said that “Ketter doesn’t deserve to be president.’’ Political circus Mr. Eve’s publicity stunts, political shenanigans, and baseless charges have to be hired, even though an adequate or moderately qualified white will also be hired. have* actively been attempting to do.

Under this practice which was widely used in the past a — — Yearly has reported that President Ketter called all the unit heads (department/chairman, provosts, etc.) into his office some time ago and “raised hell about chiseling on Affirmative Action.” How well Dr. Ketter’s message was carried out is still unknown. Eliminating abuses Mr. Eve should be addressing himself to wiping out the abuses unfortunately obscured the real issue: How can the Affirmative Action program be improved? First the facts, as compiled by the campus Office of Equal Opportunity. There are currently 64 blacks on the University’s instructional staff. This constitutes 4.6% of the total faculty. During the latest hiring period, 5.6% of the teaching openings were filled by blacks, increasing the proportion of black faculty members. non-teaching its Among professional personnel, 13.5% of the employees are black. And the State University of Buffalo is sixth in the nation among public universities in the proportion of black students.

Basically, there arc two ways Additionally, Mr. Eve is supposedly preparing a lawsuit against this University for racial discrimination. When questioned about exactly what charge he would make and what remedy he would request, Mr. Eve had no answer. This leads to a belief that Mr. Eve’s talk of a lawsuit was only talk, or an obscure threat to blackmail the University. Mr. Eve has also accused Dr. Ketter of “covering up the facts” by manipulating and distorting statistics. In fact. Dr. Ketter has responsibly provided the press with the statistics on the number of assessing the University’s black faculty ratio of 4.6%. Compared to the tiny pool of black applicants with PhD’s (most faculty hired must have PhD’s), there is a significant number of black faculty. But compared to 16% black population the statewide, the University’s total of black faculty is a paltry number. One way of remedying the to increase the situation is in numbers of blacks undergraduate, graduate and professional programs, as the University’s medical and law necessary to increase black faculty now. Breaking down long-standing racial barriers in the departments, where most of the hiring and recruitment decisions are made, is essential. legal compliance While to Affirmative Action requires that job applications be made available to blacks, nothing requires a department to hire a qualified black instructor. For instance, the so-called practiced “supernigger system” by some departments means that a black must be “super department chairman or senior professor would often call a friend at another University and ask him to recommend someone at that institution. Once this was done, the department could then seem to follow all the specified Affirmative Action procedures without ever giving prospective candidates a genuine chance. While these practices may not be widespread, they do occur, thereby limiting the number of black faculty members. History Department chairman Clifton “suppernigger of the and buddy-boy” systems, in the specific and limited number of cases where they do exist. But more importantly, he should be suggesting ways to hire more black faculty even though the black PhD pool is so small. Mr. Eve’s efforts to provide a real answer to this dilemma would bring the University a lot closer to the racial parity that both he and Dr. Ketter desire than will his frantic cries of racism. Get to work, Mr. Eve New Paltz students rally A return to the spirit of the sixties took place this week as almost 1000 students took over the administration building at the State University College at New Paltz Tuesday afternoon. While the news magazines are writing about student apathy, approximately 500 students involved in New Paltz’s student government plus other concerned students held a rally to discuss the college’s problems, and to rescue the school from what one spokesman termed “a trend back to more traditional methods.” The students then proceeded to take over the nine-story administration building, occupying it and setting up their headquarters on the fifth floor. An editor from the New Paltz student newspaper. The Oracle said that this was “not a strike,” since classes and campus life are continuing, “but a resistance movement.” There were three basic reasons, all relating to recent state budget cuts, which prompted the students to act: 1) the objection to the abolishment of the experimental studies program; 2) the firing of three women faculty members; and 3) the refusal to rehire Prof. Chakravaty of the Philosophy Department. Other issues concerned the threat of mandatory housing and food contracts for freshmen and sophomores and the threat to change the prominent , grading policy. As of Wednesday, the only student acted upon was the reinstatement of Prof. Chakravaty. Ernest L. Boyer, Chancellor of the State University, said that the Professor’s salary would be paid by a special chancellor’s fund that he administers. On Wednesday afternoon. New Paltz’s President Coffman conference with student held a representatives; the outcome of this meeting was unknown as The Spectrum demand that went to press. was , After Tuesday’s takeover, the rallies continued through Wednesday, being held twice a day, and are expected to continue through the next few weeks. There were also continuous workshops being held throughout the day The students' plan, according to their literature, is to use "hit-and-run actions" in which they will periodically take over a building for an hour or two in the coming weeks. While the media has constantly been proclaiming the death of student activism, many New Paltz students don’t agree. “The student government,” said a spokesman, “has been receiving calls of support from many of the other state universities. The New Paltz students are hoping that this will just be a beginning to a new movement.” Ellen Eckstein Friday, 29 March 1974 . The Spectrum . Page five �News analysis Fac-Sen shows limited scope on grading option by Richard Korman Contributing Editor President Ketter’s veto of the plus/minus grading option passed by the Faculty Senate was a victory for the proposal’s many critics but for others only indicates serious deficiencies in academic policymaking at this University. The proposal to shower undergraduates with A-minuses and B-phisses, made by Biology Professor Harold Segal, amended a motion calling for the retention of the ABCDF system, by Lionel Lewis, chairman of the Fac-Sen Grading and Evaluation Committee. Dr. Lewis spoke only briefly in favor of the motion on behalf of the Grading and Evaluation Committee, citing last October’s — student referendum and a committee survey as evidence that most people favored ABCDF over any alternatives. Dr. Segal pointed out that his amendment was simply the suggestion of last year’s Grading and Evaluation Committee, chaired by Joel Raynor. Those suggestions were tabled by last year’s Fac-Sen and were not acted upon until Dr. Segal brought them up again in the form of his plus/minus amendment. Several Faculty-Senators have strongly hinted that there was very little actual research behind this year’s Grading and Evaluation Committee call for retaining ABCDF. The Committee’s failure to convincingly argue for ABCDF left the door open for the Senate to be persuaded toward plus/minus. Opposition to the plus/minus amendment came almost exclusively from sources outside the Grading and Evaluations Committee: most notably the Student Association, Undergraduate Dean Charles Ebert, and was MM*iaSaoAiuu5? Mel Brooks' by Dr. Ketter. It would seem that a well-prepared Grading and Evaluations Committee might have been able to offer compelling arguments supporting their own proposal on the floor of the Faculty-Senate, and defeated Dr. Segal’s amendment then and there. Instead, Dr. Segal presented by far the better argument at the time. “Dr. Segal’s argument convinced me that the quantum leap from A to B was too great, stated Physics Professor Jonathan Reichert after the meeting. While Dr. Reichert and other Faculty-Senators may have been convinced at that one solitary meeting, the arguments for adding plusses and minuses to grades have been totally refuted at all levels of the University. finally axed A, B, C: nebulous And while everyone has been taking a stance on the issue, few of the arguments have been well-documented. Issues of grading accuracy and increased or decreased competition are moot; Grades are by nature abstract and lend themselves only to nebulous discussions of measuring education. The arbitrary nature of A, B and C precludes any opportunity for hard documentary evidence. Much controversy has centered around conflicting interpretations of last October’s SA referendum on grading, and has raised doubts as to the future use of referendums as measures of student opinion. Several spokesmen believe the referendum results show that students do not want a plus/minus option; others contend the referendum demonstrated a tendency toward plus/minus grading; still others assert that the results were evenly split and have no meaning at all. “The results of the referendum are ambiguous and can be interpreted any way you want,” asserted SA Academic Affairs coordinator Mark Humm, Many Faculty-Senators choose to openly ignore student referendums. Dr. Segal did not consider the results of last October’s referendum significant. Others did take it into account. “1 don’t feel bound by a referndum, although I am influenced by it,” Dr. Reictiert explained. In the aftermath of a Presidential veto, the Faculty-Senate now faces the unpleasant situation of having been caught in what many feel was a rash act. Dr. Ebert described the passage of the plus/minus option as “one man’s opinion and a quick vote.” The Senators have fumbled away a good deal of their own credibility. The meaning of Dr. Ketter’s veto is difficult to discern among the poorly-defined powers of the Faculty-Senate and Administration. Uncertainty over who has the final say on academic decisions is acknowledged by both groups. A consensus agrees, however, that a great deal of power resides in the President’s office, especially with the vice-president for Academic Affairs, and that little or none rests with the students. This fact is obvious to anyone present at last semester’s Faculty-Senate debate on the Reichert Prospectus for the Colleges. There, student spokesmen were prevented from discussing the Colleges in a political context, which for many was the most salient aspect of the debate. As grading moves further away from vague speculation about accuracy and competition, it surfaces as the political question of why grades exist; a question as inherently political as the nature of the Colleges. The Faculty-Senate is a deliberative body operating according to strict parliamentary procedure. By nature, it can only function on a very technical and pragmatic level which ignores the broad, more meaningful sense of many controversial topics. One disgusted member of the Colleges Coalition characterized the Faculty-Senate proceedings as “Parliamentary bourgeois bullshit.” When looked at from any realistic perspective, it is just that. atvD.-asr- aaoo 2:00 9:25 11 i iJ tj f|t%cS m IUUEVARD MALL III * WAGABA f AUS HYP -«37-«JOO The grandest musical of them all) 2:00 LUCY MAMI 4 30 7 ,5 9 35 SENECA MALI- I WtSTMNK* >36-3413 • THE THREE MUSKETEERS'’ 2-4 6 8 10 I® p.m. SENECA MALL II WIST StNtCA • VflV 2:00 3:56 5:50 7:46 9:45 JjAAI DETAIL s TKANSITIID.atMAINST. 1 >36-3413 JACK NICHOLSON Joanne Woodward • A I A 632-1080 Summer Wishes, Winter Dreams 2:00 3:50 5 40 7:30 9:20 m » II EASTERNIU LS TRANSIT ANSn RD.

This deterioration of Americans’ faith in their elected officials has brought about a questioning of the entire system of representative democracy. It would be ideal to be able to assume that the men we elect to office are both noticed competent and honest. Honesty has little primarily in its absence tradition in our government. But competence is the very foundation of the nation’s political system. Elected officials have grown rich catering to clandestine private and personal interests, while ignoring the general will of the public. Moralistic critics have sharpened their talents hurling criticism at the politicians for years, but have never been able to go much further because of the talent with which the representatives have covered up their transgressions. This undesirable set-up has cultivated the feeling that all politicians are corrupt, but has also lent credence to the belief that our government runs on this corruption. - - - - - — imagination. Half thought-out policies which would confuse the American people if properly implemented are not such a bad idea. It is only when these plans are abandoned before completion that the foolishness of the Nixon Administration can be seen. Contrary to the will of the Founding Fathers, and in direct contradiction to the solemn intent they attached to the official impeachment procedures, President Nixon will probably be charged with the simplest of all violations. High crimes and misdemeanors and acts of political treachery will be forced to take a back seat to the one striking flaw of the Nixon Administration, incompetence. If only they had foreseen the pitfalls of incompetence. If only Mr. Nixon had taken the none-too-subtle hint given him by the electorate in 1960 and again in California in 1962, we might all have been spared the discomfort of not knowing what is going to happen next in Washington. Lying we can tolerate; stupidity we can’t. Incompetence!

The National Commission on Marijuana and many other prestigious persons and agencies have recommended that marijuana be decriminalized. But the first professional study suggesting that marijuana smoking may be harmful has just been released. ‘There is direct evidence of cellular damage” in man from habitual marijuana smoking, according to a research group at Columbia University in New York City. The four-man research team, headed by Dr. Gabriel C. Nahas (author of the book, Marijuana The Deceptive Weed), said there was evidence of cellular damage to the lymphocytes [white blood cells] of habitual marijuana smokers. - Smokers have fewer white cells The tests were conducted on 132 volunteers (81 non-smokers and 51 smokers). The 51 pot smokers, ages 16 to 35, said they used Cannibis products (marijuana, hashish, etc.) exclusively, at least once a week for at least one year. On the average, the users said they had smoked either marijuana or hashish four times a week for four years. The results of the study were published in January, and showed tHat the white cells’ ability to to reproduce was 40% less in regular divide marijuana smokers than in non-smokers. Dr. Nahas was not sure what specifically inhibited the white cell reproduction, but he did suggest the possibility that DNA (the chemical which stimulates cell division) was reduced in cells exposed to - - stop you. ■"jjfv -4-» •• tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), the active ingredient in marijuana A reduced number of white cells, while far from fatal, would presumably hamper an individual’s ability to fight off diseases. THC is currently being tested for possible pharmacological uses in medicine. Breakthroughs in the study of THC might enable blood disorders to be controlled or prevented sometime in the future. One such possibility is the reduction of white blood cells in people suffering from leukemia (a disease resulting in an excess of white blood cells). Not against decriminalization “The possibility definitely exists” that THC could be used to treat blood disorders, said Gary Grandusky, a representative from Dr. Nahas’ office, “but Dr. Nahas doesn’t like to talk about it, because so far, there is no proof.” THC is also being studied as an immunosuppressant (reducing the immunity) in transplant patients. Success in this study would mean fewer rejections of an organ acquired by a transplant. As a result of his findings, Dr. Nahas requested a “thorough reappraisal” of the report filed by the National Commission on Marijuana, which last year recommended “the decriminalization of marijuana and related drugs.” “Dr. Nahas is not definitely against decriminalization” of marijuana, said Mr. Grandusky, “but he feels that the new findings should be incorporated into their report.” Page eight The Spectrum .

In one impromptu speech early this week, he noted that Chile “was not swarming with CIA agents’.” A week earlier, on September 29, 1970, Robert Berrellez, ITT field operative, contacted Hal Hendrix, another ITT field operative, concerning the upcoming confirmation of Allende as President, saying: “A more realistic hope among those who want to block Allende is that a swiftly deteriorating economy will touch off a bank runs, factory bankruptcies, etc. wave of violence, resulting in a military coup... Undercover efforts are being made to bring about the bankruptcy of one oj two of the major savings and loans associations. This is expected to trigger a run on banks and the clousure of some factories, resulting in more unemployment.” ITT has assets equal to the combined Gross National Products of Paraguay, Guatemala, Costa Rica, Haiti, Bolivia and Chile, and can weild its power almost at will, claims NACLA. Jack Anderson summarized: “ITT operates its own worldwide foreign policy unit, foreign intelligence machinery, counter-intelligence apparatus, communications network, classification system and airliner fleet.” John McCone, former director of the CIA from 1962-1965, is now a director of ITT. by Paul Krehbiel Spectrum Staff Writer The Buffalo Committee for Chilean Democracy has called upon Buffalo area residents to join a letter-writing campaign to (]) re-open Congressional hearings on possible U.S. involvement in the September 1973 military coup in Chile, and (2) demand the release of Chilean political prisoners. According to the committee, the hearings, held by the House Sub-committee on Inter-American Affairs in October 1973, were hastily cancelled after the October 11 testimony of CIA Director William Colby and senior CIA official Frederick Dixon Davis. While their testimony was classified, it was obtained by reporter Rad Sculc, and excerpts were published in the Washington Post. In this testimony, Colby and Davis described the CIA activities in Chile during the period from Salvador Allende’s election as President in 1970 to the coup which overthrew him in 1973. These included: penetration (infiltration) of all major Chilean political parties, support for Anti-Allende demonstrations, submission of false economic reports to the White House to block Chile’s attempts to renegotiate their debt to the US., and financing of Chile’s opposition press. In addition, the committee contended that the CIA plotted with the International Telephone and Telegraph Corporation (ITT) to overthrow Allende in September to November 1970, and that Colby and Davis deleted this information from their testimony. ITT’s Chilean activities Sen. Gale McGee is tentatively considering opening hearings in the Senate, and a letter of encouragement to him, your Congressman and to the House Sub-committee on Inter-American Affairs might help, the committee added. The North American Congress on Latin America (NACLA) reprinted, in their April 1972 Report, documents released by columnist Jack Anderson concerning ITT and US. government involvement in Chile. Among those published was a document printed from a dictated phone call from San Juan on October 16, 1970 from Hal Hendrix, an ITT field operative, to E.J. Gerrity, ITT’s senior vice president in charge of public relations; “Unless there is a move by dissident Chilean military elements by this time mext mid-week, the consensus in Santiago is that Salvadore Allende will win the October 24 Congressional run-off easily and be inaugurated as President November 4.” - — � He continued: ‘The chance of a military coup is slim at least to this date. A key but it continues to exist figure in this possibility is former Brigadier General Roberto Viaux, who last October led an insurrection by members of the First Artillery Regiment . .. Clearly, Viaux was gearing up to launch a move next week. Rumors that he would trigger a coup on October 9 or October 10 were rampant in Chile and spilled over into Buenos Aires, Argentina.” — Promised U.S. support He continued: “It is a fact that word passed to Viaux from Washington to hold back last week. It was felt that he was not adequately prepared, his timing was off, and he should ‘cool it 'fora later, unspecified date. [Italics added]. Emissaries pointed out to him that if he moved � � The Committee for Chilean Democracy is also urging people to write letters demanding the release of political prisoners. Of thousands whose lives are in danger, the committee specifically named five. They are: Galo Gomez, rector of the University of Concepcion, scientist and member of the Socialist party; Enrique Kirberg, rector of the Technical University in Santiago, member of the Communist party; Bautista van Schowcn, medical doctor, member of the Movement of the Revolutionary Left (MIR); Edgardo Enriquez, former rector of the University of Conception, Minister of Education under Allende; and Alejandro Romero, medical surgeon, member of the MIR. Luis Corvalan, General Secretary of the Communist party, is still alive in prison, largely due to world protest, the committee says. Chile’s ruling military Junta is upset about bad world opinion, and increased world pressure is believed to be of help in saving lives. Letters can be sent to General Pinochet, Santiago, Chile, and should demand that the above-named people be allowed to leave Chile, the committee explains.

Haldeman were who feel Watergate will "very seriously handicap” the President for the remainder of his term has not reached the 50 per cent mark, although the current 48 per cent is perilously close to it. Only 12 per cent nationwide now believe Watergate can pass and be forgotten. Even among Republicans, no more than 25 per cent think Watergate can be put behind the nation and Mr. Nixon can continue in office in a normal way. In this present gray area in which the nation has a President who obviously has lost the confidence of the people, but who has yet to bfc charged formally with an impeachable offense, the particulars of the Watergate tapes remain the gravest source of public doubt over President Nixon’s credibility and integrity. The proof of that emerged in yet another question; “If the Watergate Grand Jury were to decide the President was negligent in the care he took of the Watergate tapes, which were known to be future legal evidence, do you feel Congress should impeach the President or not?” deliberately erased because they would have proved President Nixon’s involvement in the cover-up.” As a result, a plurality (47-42 per cent) disagrees with the plea that “people should give President Nixon the benefit of the doubt in the Watergate tapes controversy.’’ Part of the reason for this lack of public charity toward the President can be found in the 54-21 per cent majority that is willing to believe “the two missing tapes were ordered destroyed because they would have proven President Nixon knew about the Watergate cover-up.” The bottom line on the public’s judgement about the President and the tapes can be found in its response to this question asked of a nationwide cross section of 1665 households in mid-February: “How would you rate President Nixon on his handling of the Should not Should Watergate tapes excellent, pretty good, only fair, or poor?” SHOULD CONGRESS IMPEACH IF PRESIDENT NEGLIGENT?

The idea was recommended after the Attica prison riot, to help break the vicious an education — — cycle of prisoners being unable to find work when they leave jail, thus leading them back just to crime and ultimately to jail again to survive.

Graham Jr. The balance in dange withheld and destroyed evidence, tried to limit and define the investigation, and called the investigators "little children" who should clean their plates before requesting "a fishing license" for more evidence, he would have been behind bars long ago. Mr. Nixon has consistently tried to block the path of the fact-finders the Senate Watergate committee, a grand jury, two special prosecutors and the House inquiry surrendering only what he has been forced to by the courts and public opinion. Tapes under his "sole personal control" have been lost and marred with convenient gaps; Mr. Nixon has suppressed evidence, lied and acquiesced to hush money payments and obstructions of justice. These are the actions of a desperate man, one who would rather destroy evidence than risk letting that evidence be heard. His media offensive against the House inquiry is designed to bait them into confronting him over the narrow legal question of releasing evidence, instead of his crimes; and to pressure them into limiting their investigation to the Watergate break-in and cover-up, thus avoiding scrutiny of his clearly impeachable offenses regarding tax fraud, wiretapping, the plumbers, secretly bombing Cambodia, funds, influence illegally impounding peddling with ITT and the milk industry, and obstructing justice. If a President being investigated by Congress is allowed to define impeachment and limit the evidence and inquiry, future Presidents will truly be above the law. A single President is not the Presidency; a single President cannot rewrite the Constitution. At stake is our constitutional balance, and the potential abuses of an unchecked President which that balance and the constitutional safety valve of impeachment was designed to prevent.

The week before spring vacation (March 12) my dog (a small fluffy white spitz) was with a dark-haired female roommate near the Norton Union fountain. The dogcatcher noosed the dog and refused to return him. The dog turned up in the pound with a deep (and expensive) stab wound. A week prior to this the dogcatcher had threatened both the dog and myself. Several students and two security officers were present when the dog was arrested, but we have no names of witnesses.

Generally perceived by the public as guilty of serious crimes, Mr. Nixon long ago became a politically impotent, caretaker President. Men like Henry Kissinger, James Schlesinger, William Simon and George Shultz have been managing the country's foreign affairs, defense, energy problems and economy, with Mr. Nixon becoming dangerous only when he tries to take credit for their actions for political gain. he has become an Although obstructionist force to the men who are really running the government, the larger danger is Mr. Nixon's self-serving attempt to blur the distinction between himself as an individual President and the office of the Presidency. This is a common political trick; Mr. Nixon didn't even use his name in the 1972 campaign, his slogan was ''Re-elect the President." But only by identifying his welfare with that of the personal Government could Mr. Nixon justify political spying, illegal actions against dissenters, and peddling Government favors for the money which financed his illegal re-election. The House is considering impeaching Mr. Nixon for abusing the office of the Presidency, yet he is trying to identify his persona! survival with the continued "strength" of his office. The Constitution assigns the House the sole responsibility for determining impeachable offenses, yet Mr. Nixon has attempted to harass the House inquiry, determine himself what evidence is relevant and limit the scope of their investigation. It is the ultimate contradiction: a President being investigated for high crimes in office claiming that cooperating with the inquiry would tarnish that office. If a business executive being investigated Asst Feature . . — own Buffalo Chamber of Commerce distributes a pamphlet entitled Drug Abuse as a Business Problem which on page seven states: “With the spread of drug abuse in schools and among the armed forces in Vietnam, it would be unrealistic for business to assume it could recruit from these markets and not risk bringing drug abusers, narcotics addicts and pushers into companies, despite all the sophisticated screening tests available.” Vietnam veterans are portrayed as drug-crazed lunatics and the media is quick to point out their veteran status whenever a murder or arrest takes place. But part (a very small part) of the truth for these statements does exist. Vietnam era veterans have produced between 60 and 100 thousand drug addicts. There are problems of civilian readjustment, they have one of the highest divorce rates, suicide rates, a high chance to be involved in one driver one fatality auto accidents and a very high rate of alcoholism. All of this and they are blessed with a Veterans Administration that is underbudgeted, understaffed, over bureaucratic and so ineffective that it cannot even cosmetically cover up the problems of Vietnam-era vets as well as take care of them. Thirty percent of all male prisoners in state and federal penitentaries are Vietnam era veterans. Hundreds of thousands of us have no jobs. 560,000 Vietnam era veterans arc marked, for life by a military discharge system of codes, which defame one’s character and are unsubstantiated by fact or trial; a mark which stops employment and denies VA benefits. Education for us is denied by a G1 bill that even Congress admits is totally inadequate. We are blessed with these misfortunes after the politicians and the few people that got rich (or richer) off of us forced us to fight one of the most barbaric and criminal wars of mankind destroying hundreds and thousands of Indochinese. Now, President Nixon declares March 29, 1974 Vietnam Erq Veterans Day, the DAV tells us to fly the flag and the American Legion has open house for all Vietnam era veterans.

Murderers and rapists wait months for trial while the courts are ruining the lives of thousands of scared kids whose 'crime" was possessing a little grass. Time has proven the new drug law counter-productive; it must be repealed. But an even more immediate priority is to end the senseless persecution of users of marijuana, which is far less harmful than legal alcohol. We should follow the sane example set by Oregon, where possessing an ounce of grass is a parking violation-type misdemeanor with $100 fine and no record. While the recent Columbia University study may warrant more research into marijuana, decriminalizing pot is not the same as legalizing it; it doesn't mean that joints will be sold at the corner candy store. It simply means that now that 26 million Americans have smoked marijuana, we must not legally ruin the lives of casual users and young experimenters. Instead, we must concentrate on the mercenary pushers of hard drugs something New York's reactionary drug law has totally failed to do . Clogged courts, a decline in heroin arrests and an increase in petty marijuana busts these are some of the effects of New York's reactionary drug law. After only seven months, the law has deluged the courts with the persecution of thousands of small-time marijuana smokers and soft drug users dealers remain more while the big ever, because users can no invulnerable than longer name their contacts in exchange for pleading guilty to a lesser charge. Despite Nelson Rockefeller s insistence slapping that "throwing 'em in jail" mandatory life sentences on most users with would no discretion possible by the judge wipe out haitl drug traffic, the law has completely backfired: hard drug arrests are down since September. The incredibly insensitive law makes no distinction between the user, who may be a casual indulger or a hard-core addict who needs treatment, not and the pusher, the imprisonment commercial trafficker who sucks up the profits at the expense of human lives. The law provides the same 'mandatory life" penalty for selling a pound or more of a major narcotic as for merely possessing two ounces of it: jail, not rehabilitation, for the user or addict.

Gee whiz Harry, Scottie and the rest of that Eastern liberal bunch do to create excitement in our lives? Like the seventh cavalry coming to the — Ah yes, can’t you tell that spring has arrived in Buffalo? The sky is a blissful grey, the air a balmy ten degrees, and white flowers almost two inches in depth cover the landscape. Buffalo spring is like one of those old-time strippers; they give you a little thigh, expose a nipple or two, and just as it would seem as if all the coverings will be removed, they prance off the stage leaving you suspended and hungry for more. It would seem as if Mother Nature is adding to the boredom of life by conspiring to lengthen a season that should have been buried weeks ago. This winter has typified all of those incessant news items that keep hurling from the wire services they are of great importance, but who really wants to hear them anymore? This, being the winter of our discontent, has produced earth-shaking occurrences which have shaken the foundations of our political structure as well as possibly affecting the traditional American lifestyle. But who the hell wants to hear more about that bastard in the White House, or about the “fuel crisis?” Richard Nixon’s real defense is not his honesty or his battery of lawyers, but his ability to confuse and drag out an issue until he bores the American people to death. After all of the supposed evidence, it is quite evident that either Nixon is a fool, or one of the biggest liars ever to threaten American society. Now that we know that he is either one or the other, and possibly both, the constant footd raggings and procrastination has produced a sense of apathy that is impervious to any new earthquakes. Now that Nixon is attempting to bore us with “Watergate,” our other national distractions seem to fall into the same role. After dire warnings, fearful predictions, and lots of inane articles written on the energy crisis, the shortages seem to have miraculously disappeared. This sudden ending to a national crisis, coupled with a fantastic rise in price, has contributed to the general feeling that it was a faked crisis designed to raise prices. What else can you say when the obvious stares you right in the face? Golly, now that the two biggest news items have lost their initial impact, it behooves our national commentators to find something else with which to fill America’s eyes and ears. No American deaths in Nam? All quiet in the Middle East with the usual exceptions? The usual disclosures concerning the naughties of the Nixon — How about 75-25? To the Editor: The New York State legislature has seen fit to cut $6 million in construction funds for the Amherst Campus. For this we can thank our area legislators. It is for their “favor” that we have compromised the University’s admission standards by retaining the 50-50 freshmen admissions policy. 1 am now looking forward to a decision by Dr. Ketter to implement a new 75-25 system whereby three-quarters of the freshmen class is from Western New York, further leading the University down the road to total regionalism and academic obscurity. Mitch Regenbogen Racist scapegoating To the Editor. For all the talk about “racism in reverie” and “reverie discrimination” in recent issues of The Spectrum, it is hard to remember when the paper last editorialized against racism as it really is. Where have been the articles on “Racism in High Gear at SUNYAB?” Instead, we hear the racist lies that non-whites (and to some extent women) are responsible for the dwindling financial-aid funds and educational opportunities available to “middle-clan,” i.e., white, students. Is The Spectrum trying to make us think that EOF students, for example, are the benefactors of lavish give-away programs? Apparently. But it is certainly not the case. The Spectrum has never pointed out the real need for more law school and med school slots for all who want to study at them, or for more to ease the unemployment jobs for everyone problems of even PhDs. Nor does Spectrum attack the SUNY administration or state or federal governments for the cutbacks in education health and welfare. Instead, they launch an offensive against students who have even slimmer chances of “making it” under present conditions than do students as a whole. And everybody’s prospects are pretty dim. Racist scapegoating merely sets students at a good strategy for those one another’s throats but not for those of us (namely, cutting back us ALL) who have got to fight for a chance. In these times of economic crises, the ruling class in this country has only intensified its attacks on non-whites and women. If we fall for their reactionary line, as has The Spectrum, things can only get worse. The classrooms here at TJB have got to become battlegrounds in the class war, where racist and male chauvinist ideology is smashed.

Progressive Labor Party rescue of the proverbial wagon train, streaking has been promoted as the savior to lousy weather, uniform incessant news, and gloomy naked people prognostications. Just think (young, of course) running around exposing their genitals the ruin of society is at hand! Without the streakers the psychologists, sociologists, media messagers, and other equally boring people would have nothing to do. With streaking, these intellectuals can discuss the real meaning of streaking ranging from frustrations, sexual repression/freedom, castrated mother complexes, permissive/strict parents, intellectual alienation and anything else that could add to their Vitae. With all these people pontificating about the intellectual meaning of streaking, and the mass media covering it as if Christ himself were running, they completely ignore why streaking is done in the first place: it’s fun! It is a real trip to run pass unsuspecting people without your clothes; it helps you meet people, and most of all, it relieves your boredom. Boredom with the weather, boredom with school, boredome with news, that never reaches the inevitable conclusion. It’? something that was spontaneous and natural, but with all the recent media coverage, streaking has become as interesting as two-week-old pizza. Now that streaking has been exploited until we are quite impervious to naked runners, what can we dream up next in order to fill the insatiable maw of the newsmakers? We could have Richard Nixon streak hopefully out of the White House so we can see what he is really made of. We could sit around and watch the snow fall and wonder if there is really a season such as Spring. What this country really needs is an old-fashioned Spring. Ya know, with birds, flowers, pretty smells, tra la la, etc. People smile when Spring arrives, some even acknowledge your presence. Clothing is removed in layers until that heavy person who sat next to you in class is revealed to have a severe case of malnutrition. Spring will cure boredom. Spring will relight the sweet vindictiveness first felt when the Watergate scandals first were uncovered. Let us pray for when it arrives, everything will be Spring including this bright, interesting and lively column. — - — — — - — Streaking politics To the Editor. In regards to the letters to the editor concerning streaking as being a manifestation of our capitalistic system before you go claiming the human body as a capitalistic tool, let me say this. Let us examine the academic atmosphere of today. Daily we are bombarded with political truths from groups who seek to manipulate us in their behalf. We learn noble “knowledge” from our esteemed professors and play the role of complacent competitors for the top of various curves. With one eye watching the vanishing job market and the other paging through absurd books, we are caught in a vise. However we all accept this role and some even enjoy it. Caught within these norms, apathy can only become the product. However, today we see the streaker movement spreading across campuses. For — students to escape the average norm, is to rise above it. To accept absurdity and free ones self of inhibitions are lessons few people leam. It’s true that streaking has no social value, but the personal lesson and the fun outweigh the puritanical uproar it unleashed. The point is that there is only one thing in this world that is ours, our bodies. For too long we have accepted our bodies as a means to sustain the fashion industry. Along with the hiding of our bodies, have come enough complexes to keep any psychology department busy for years. So the next time you see a streaker race by, ask yourself, could that be me? If it couldn’t, then don’t look down on him or her, but be happy that someone is enjoying her himself, and that your dull day was or interrupted by a flash of flesh.

Not all of us here are chumps or dupes of these lowlife who so arrogantly spew forth their communist dogma in the halls of Norton.

The Committee to Restore Americanism to Our Campus Friday, 29 March 1974 . The Spectrum . Page thirteen �( Taxation without representation To the Editor: I hate to tay “I told you »o,” but I told you *o. Last July, when the expendituret of Community Action Corps were challenged as a violation of mandatory student fee guidelines, I wrote to The Spectrum “It is indeed a precarious position to be in, knowing that the administration can override the desires of the student body... by arbitrarily involing its power to interpret and reinterpret an ambiguous set of regulations on a moment’s notice.” As the current crisis in health care indicates, the autonomy of any student organization is subject to the whims of an administration that has the ultimate power of the purse. Students on this and other state campuses are permitted to pay a student activities fee, form organizations, and decide how they want their money spent. Yet, the ultimate decision regarding the disbursement of the funds lies with the University administration or its designee. We are dependent upon the good will of University administrators, not a particularly stable situation. One SUNY campus has resolved this difficulty by designating a Student Association employee to interpret the guidelines; this is an alternative we should investigate here. What we are experiencing is a denial of our fundamental democratic right to spend student money according to student needs as we perceive them. ‘Taxation without representation” may sound corny, but isn’t our situation a form of tyranny? Guest Opinion Mark S. Carlin Director by Irving Spitzberg Dean of the Colleges Community Action Corps Trying to do a job To the Editor: The pitiful, misinformed piece of tripe (entitled “Bare Rockefeller-Kurtz Brainwash Plot at SUNY-Bflo” and dated March 7, 1974), which was recently distributed on the SUNYAB campus by the National Caucus of Labor Committees, hardly deserves serious attention. Its gross inaccuracies, empty generalizations, and cliche’-ridden sensationalism condemn themselves. However, I feel obliged to set the record straight, inasmuch as I am the so-called “Doctor” with the allegedly sinister Millard Fillmore College course in Black Literature to which the libelous NCLC “Press Release” refers. In addition to exploring the characteristic* and the function of the Black aesthetic through the free analysis of such text* as Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass, an American Slave; Abraham Chapman’s anthology of Black literature, New Black Voices; George Jackson's Soledad Brother; Ralph Ellison’s Invisible Man; Cheik Hamidou Kane’s Ambiguous Adventure; and Chinua Achebe’s Things Fall Apart, the English 387-388 two-semester sequence (“Studies in Black Literature”) ha* a* one of it* central aims encouraging the student to think for himself and to avoid precisely the kind of crippling, propagandists hogwash exhibited by the NCLC article. That perhaps is one reason why, in the six semesters since its inception in the Fall of 1971, “Studies in Black Literature” has attracted: 1) enrollments as high as 55 in some semesters (42 students, for example, completed the English 387 day section last semester); 2) student* from virtually every ethnic group on this campus every semester; 3) some of the best students at this University; and 4) several graduate student* who have energetically sought official permission to audit the course because of its instructive, free and open discussions of significant literary and aesthetic issues. That Mr. Burnett was extremely nervous and tense (on March 12?) may indeed have been due to the frank and open nature of the class discussion; and if it is necessary, I wish publicly to apologize. However, that he perspired may well have been due to conditions beyond my control. But not to be totally facetious, what the hell, in this context, is “a striking personality change?” I am, you see, neither a devious CIA agent nor a sophisticated Nazi expert on “menticide,” but a basically simple man who is trying to do an honest job, which does not stop with my bi-weekly paycheck, and surely doe* not include manipulating my fellowman as part of NCLC’s suggested “vicious and elaborate brainwashing setup.” And the “Doctor” is, incidentally, neither a medical cover nor a self-imposed, academic trapping to hide my incompetence. It is, as a matter of recorded fact, a legitimate and hard-earned PhD from the University of Illinois. At the very least, NCLC owes me a prompt, public apology. Desmond Hamlet Page fourteen The Spectrum Friday, 29 March 1974 . . Soon after I arrived at SUNYAB 1 was approached by various faculty and students, who inquired on a regular basis thereafter: “How are you bearing up?” “Is everything alright?” These inquiries were always offered in the most sympathetic tone of voice. I got the feeling that the questioners assumed that I had some terminal disease or, at the very least, that my family at the Colleges did. I now respond to such inquiries by clearly stating my belief that a vigorous and healthy group of institutions operate out of Crosby Hall. The greatest difficulty the Colleges (as a group) have is that they always seem to the public to be a group of desperate people in dying institutions, striking out at all of those around them and many of those among them. Regrettably, Stanley Dayan has contributed once again to this impression, [see Andante, The Spectrum, March 27] I personally am quite sad that Stanley does not see even a “shred” of hope in the Colleges, because it is clear that he could contribute to a new set of chartered Colleges. But I am happy that he perceives, as I do, that most people in the Colleges do see hope. Indeed, it is quite clear that the Colleges are preparing in a responsible manner for the upcoming chartering process. And, it seems to me that most of the existing Colleges will be chartered and will emerge as stronger institutions just because they will have greater faculty involvement. The most important area of disagreement between Stanley and me is in our conception of how alternative institutions most effectively operate. And it is clear that this is a difference between Stanley’s College E and other Colleges in the present Assembly. One approach to creating an alternative institution is what one can all a smorgasbord approach: try anything anytime without considering the likelihood of success in actually solving a set of problems and changing larger institutions. This approach may be appropriate in situations where there are relatively unlimited resources and no constraints of time. The second approach to the development of alternative institutions is to identify a particular problem area and then attempt to marshal creativity and resources to develop an alternative institutional environment for dealing with the problems. This latter approach has characterized the most successful Colleges in the Collegiate System: for example, (and only as examples) look at the success of College Z in involving large numbers of undergraduates and policemen in the study of issues in the criminal justice system; or witness the quality of the program offered by Women Studies College to undergraduates, the community of women in Buffalo, and the woman’s movement nationally. Many of the other Colleges have also developed new institutional arrangements in their own organizations ot support programs which are having meaningful impact on a number of social systems. This approach requires competent people investing time, energy and judgment in a creative venture; it will not succeed catch-as-catch-can. The important contribution which the new Prospectus and its chartering requirements can make is to increase the likelihood of impact by these energetic alternative institutions on the University and the larger community. One of the critical problems facing the old Collegiate System has been the lack of meaningful involvement in the Colleges. This situation has meant that the faculty has viewed all disputes about College activities and all complaints about underfunding of the Colleges as spectators. Members of the faculty have not seen their interests at stake in the Colleges. Hopefully, under the new Prospectus, with its requirement for significant faculty participation in each College, this situation will change. And by involving the faculty in the life of the various alternative institutions found in the Collegiate System, the Colleges may be in a position to change effectively the larger University community. The importance of changing the University environment is that the best contribution which these Colleges can make to the larger community is opening up the intellectual and professional resources of the University to those who have not had access to them before. In creating these new modes of access, the participating students and faculty will be enjoying a quality educational experience unequaled in this University. And this issue of access is relevant to one point in Stanley Dayan’s opinion, which deserves brief comment; his report of the Shanti case. I do not want to go into detail here, because to do so would be unfair to Shanti. My only comment is that in thise case we see a situation where a College, after clearly being told not to charge fees in a previous year, established a financial barrier to participation in a course by the students in this University. The levying ofa regressive tax for participation in a course even when the tax is called, after the fact, a donation is not the most effective way to open up access to the alternative institutions in this University. Nor is a one-sided report of the facts of a case the best way to testify to one’s stated belief in the honorableness of the new director. Stanley, I hope that you will decide not to play the role of the “cornered animal,” to use your own words. My guess is that you would find yourself in a lonely position, because most of the participants in the Colleges now clearly see promise in the future of the Colleges. — - �THE LAST DETAIL by Jay Boyar Spectrum Arts Editor Banditry is exciting. A film like The Hot Rock or most of the episodes in It Takes A Thief thrived partly on the vicarious excitement people get from watching (and identifying with) looters. For the common crook, the allure of theft is not so much the excitement, but rather the result: money. Most burglars, I suspect, would rather have their booty handed to them outright than have to risk a possible scrape with the law in actually committing a crime. Not so the "sickie," the cleptomaniac. He steals things he doesn't need; for him, the ride is the thing. He thrives on the tension, the th’rill of the theft. In The Last Detail, the premise is that if a boy leads a miserable, uneventful life, then he may see this needless stealing as his only way of getting some "kicks" and asserting his existence. Hmmm , . . well, okay. Quaid as Meadows the unfortunate cleptomaniac is a Navy man who is caught stealing $40 he didn't need from a polio-fund drive box and is sentenced t6 a decade or so of imprisonment. Jack Nicholson and Otis Young play Buddusky and Mulhall, the sailors assigned to take Meadows across the country to prison. Randy whirlwind, microcosmic odyssey before seeing to that last detail: imprisonment. Directed by Hal Ashby (The Landlord, Harold and Maude ) from Robert Towne's script, the film, based on Darryl Ponicsan's novel, works for several reasons. Its tensions are carefully developed. Should they let him go? Should they risk the possibility of "taunting" a condemned man with life's pleasures? Will he try to escape? Can they trust him? Are they helping him? These questions float around the plot throughout the film. The story-line is manipulative without being obvious or obnox ious. Another reason the film works is the acting. Nicholson especially captures the uneducated, cussing, joking, "machismo" character he plays with charm and sympathy. Buddusky and Mulhall come off realistically as men, and still more than realistically as Meadows' fairy godfathers. They are weird, instinctive good guys. Quaid's portrayal of cleptomaniac Meadows is as intense as it is consistent. Basically, all he needed to do was look the which he does but Quaid does part — — even more; I felt a strong sense of a complex, churning inner life to the character. From the above plot synopsis, one might conclude that there is no way for the director to have the sailors smoothly and naturally introduce their prisoner to all the various "joys" mentioned. And indeed, except the way it is there is no way done: in episodic, loosely-related scenes (like those one imagines of Huck Finn on the river) relying heavily on Buddusky's strength and external manifestation of character. The "joys" are introduced to the with a spontaneity that prisoner simultaneously echoes life and is bigger than life. As one watches the scenes, they relying, as they do, on a seem natural bare minimum of coincidence. Only afterward does one realize that Meadows has experienced so much of life's seeds in ... — so short a time. — Setting sail A moral problem: the sailors are pretty nice guys, and Meadows clearly has been unfairly punished. Should they let him go? While they chew on that, they decide to show him the time of his life en route to to give him an idea of some jail alternative "kicks" to stealing, and to give him a concept of himself so that he can fight back against the miserable prison conditions he must face. So they show the 18-year-old what it's like to get drunk, mad, and laid. Friendship, cursing, and (by accident) religion are other "joys" to which they introduce the lad. Oh yeah, they also go on a hot dog picnic in the snowy park but forget the "fucking buns." In short, Buddusky and Mulhall take Meadows on a — > Drunken sailor Some critics might suggest that the film is a crude story which appeals only to a Buddusky or to a latent version of that character. While it is true that the movie can' have that attraction to this sort of viewer on one level, it is an insensitive oversimplification to say that this is its only appeal. It's not so much that the sailors are crude and wild, it's that they have life, zest. It's not their vulgarities that charm, but their good intentions. It's not the specific way of life they show Meadows, but rather that they show him that he can have a way of life. It's not the crass realism so much as the mythic, almost but not quite epic quality that is this film's appeal to the viewer. More than anything else, the film is a celebration of energy with reservations. When a life is wrong-headed or even — — — — shattered — the only thing left to do is to ride along as long as possible on pure vigor.

When Johnny Carson once asked Reiner why Brooks never would appear on his show, Reiner replied: "Mel says that he has nothing to say." Pure nonsense. Brooks can take the subject of cardboard and turn it into a brilliant comedy sketch. About thirteen years ago, Reiner was fooling around with a tape recorder. Just to see how it worked, he talked into the recorder, asking Brooks; "Is it two true that you're really old?" thousand years "OOOOOOOOB oy 111" was the reply and an entire interview improvisational arose. Two albums have since been released because of the demand for Brooks' 2000-year-old man. Mel Brooks (the genius) has done films as well, and his latest, Blazing Saddles, is purely a work of art. Absurdity in comedy, which outside of Woody Allen is rarely seen on the screen today is quite evident from the start of the movie. From the very when the Warner beginning, Brother logo burns from the middle outwards (a la Bonanza), to the very end when our hero rides his horse into the sunset, only to be picked up in the middle of nowhere by a chauffeur-driven limousine, the wacky wit of Mr. Brooks is in top — — form. Little, the hero, comes from the weird world of Temperatures Rising and fits into Blazing Saddles like it was a home away from home. Possibly the best performance in the film is given by Brooks himself. He is the governor of the state in which Rockville Ridge is located. How he got to be governor is beyond everyone. He's on the verge of insane absurdity (Mel Brooks' entire life seems to hinge on the brink of insanity), rolling the eyes in all directions, playing with strange toys at meetings and important employing a Miss Stein as his secretary and "confidante." Miss Stein is a little low on the brains, but she lacks little else. Brooks walks around Groucho-style, with a cigar in mouth and the letters GOV printed on the back of his oversized coattails. In Blazing Saddles, the plot is inconsequential. Just sit back and enjoy it. The insanity and absurdity of the whole thing is what makes the movie so refreshing. It is now showing at the Boulevard Cinema 2, Como 6 and Evans theaters. Hear O Israel For gems from the Jewish Bible First things first: say The Tall Blond Man with One Black Shoe five times fast. Quite a mouthful, indeed! What's even more incredible is that with such a long title, the movie itself runs only about 88 minutes. But I'm sure a man does not make people decide whether or not they will see a particular film. How about some other intangibles? Well, what if I told you that this film was directed by Yves Robert, and written by Robert and Francis Veber? How about if I slipped you the "big” names on the card, such as Pierre Richard and Bernard Blier? But then again, I guess most people would not be able to tell a Rochefort from a Perrault from a Legume. All right, so it is a French film, but don’t let that slant your judgment. The plot is really rather Anglo-Saxon. It deals with an internal struggle within the French intelligence forces, during which it is decided that the rats must be brought out from hiding. This is done by "leaking" information about a decoy agent (picked randomly out of a throng of thousands at Orly Airport), pinning a status of great importance on him, and then letting the rebellious wolves go to work on their unsuspecting prey. Sounds a bit like Hitchcock's North by Northwest, doesn't it?

From a MOVIE critic's point of view, the film is practically worthless. But from a COMEDY critic's viewpoint, it's a work of art. Brooks has made a movie comprised not of great actors and moving drama, but rather good character comedians who are insanely funny when given the material.

Despite the film's brevity, much more could have been done with it. True, the presentation by itself is sufficient for the GP audience, but the story-book attitude which Robert and Veber have toward the screenplay allows them to take the easy way out of each situation. In the role of writer, Robert did not come through as well as he could have. For instance, the guys in black use their last piece of bait in an attempt to find out what made Francois so "important" by sending a beautiful fellow undercover worker, Christine, to seduce him.

Page seventeen . �Little Italy New film dealing with life of the big time gangster mob amused and cautious, and pours the drinks. Michael is a small-time smuggler, first seen receiving what he thinks are boxes of German-made camera lenses and ending up instead with "a whole shipment of Jap adapters," proving ortce again that crime does not pay. Johnny Boy is an overgrown adolescent who still delights in blowing up mailboxes; and Charlie, thoughtful and conscientious, is given to making such profoundly religious remarks as "you can't fuck around with the infinite." The almost non-existent plot concerns a couple of thousand dollars which Johnny owes Michael, and which he never quite gets around to paying. The money was apparently lent on Charlie's recommendation, and Mike keeps warning Charlie to warn Johnny that his patience will not last forever. Johnny runs out on jobs and friends, the cash never materializes, and Johnny is demar erialized forever. This meager story-line is justified in its function as a skeleton on which the actors most notably Robert DeNiro as Johnny and Harvey Keitel as Charlie can individually flesh out the characterizations which director Martin Scorcese establishes. obviously Scorcese is influenced by a documentary style which he doesn't quite know by Randi Schnur Assistant Arts Editor ' Mean Streets might just as well have been called "Coming of Age in Little Italy," with a lot less emphasis on the "mean." The streets in question seem a good deal less perilous than they did when, say, Don Corleone walked them a few years ago; now, lit up for a religious festival, they are travelled by tourists, women out to do their marketing, and a goodly number of bunks who spend their evenings barhopping and swindling even-younger would-be hoods. Describing the non-adventures of four of those building Mafiosi over a period of several days, the film is a cross between The Godfather and The Bowery Boys, with a dash of West Side Story thrown in for extra flavor. The four protagonists are introduced in a series of short vignettes, "capsule characterizations" in which each makes some comment or performs one action epitomizing his character, with each one's name printed on the screen at the end of his scene. Tony, owner of the bar in which the comrades spend about three-quarters of their time, seems to have been straightened out by the financial — — responsibilities which eventually more or less destroy the other three; he now only watches. how to handle. He ends by tying up the story of Johnny's peid-in-blood debt, which perhaps the film's least importan element, but leaves most of thv other characters and situations unresolved, developed just enough to get us interested but left dangling by themselves. Thi' problem of concluding or statement (and running out film) long before others are read\ to be finished off has, of course, surfaced in quite a few film; before and has been dealt with much more adequately. For instance, directors from Costa-Gavras in Z to Friedkin The French Connection, and evei Lucas in American Graffiti, summed up their character eventual fates simply by listii the results of the circumstance! with which they were most concerned. The device may be crude, but it does satisfy a need that this type of film creates, one with which good characterizations should leave their audiences the need to know what happens next. There is a big difference between leaving details to our imaginations and ignoring altogether what were once important characters. Despite the film’s other flaws, the fine performances of the two mentioned above, actors particularly that of Robert DeNiro (last seen in Bang the Drum Slowly and an Academy Award nominee, dubious honor — though it may be, for his role in Mean Streets) make it worth seeing. His Johnny Boy was just as as his acquaintances crazy considered him, yet every bit as sane as his best friend Charlie claimed: an enigma whose personality could have filled up a whole other movie. DeNiro, at least, will probably be filling up a lot more of them in the near future. The film has several other high points; a fight in a pool hall, one of the many which starts as soon as anyone gets restless, is subtly and very cleverly choreographed to the rhythm of "Please Mr. Postman" on the jukebox. Drinking too much at a party in Tony's bar, Charlie nauseously stares ahead of him as the floor seems to dance around him and finally tilts up to meet his head. Low-keyed sometimes to the point of slowness. Mean Streets is nevertheless an interesting and very worthwhile look at the aimlessness and, once in awhile, violence of Lower Manhattan life. * Lecture on films Movie fans, nostalgia buffs and cultural history addicts shouldn't miss movie historian Andrew Bergman on Tuesday, April 2.

II Our Weekly Reader Enormous Changes at the Last Minute by Grace Raley (Farrar, Straus & Girous, $6.95) "Now me," said Jerry. "What I am really: I am the Sunday-breakfast chef. I will make thirty pancakes, six per person, eggs, bacon, fresh ham and a gallon of juice. I will wake up those lazy kids of yours, and I will feed them until I see some brains wiggling in their dumb heads. I hate a dumb kid. I always think it's me." Jerry Cook is a business salesman-type hustler in Grace Raley’s story, "Come On, Ye Sons of Art." The story is written in a kind of poetic slang, a beautiful spiel in which Jerry tells about his shrewd business family and his stumbie-bummy self. He feels he's a failure because he can't hustle as well as his sisters and brothers, but Kitty, the woman he sleeps with on Saturday night and whose family he cooks breakfast for on Sunday mornings, Kitty loves him because he fails. His language is small-time New York business jumpy: "Meanwhile my brother Skippy mentions $40,000. Come on! What is $40,000. Ask the bank. Go to the bank. They tear up $40,000. They jump up and down on it. They spit on it. They laugh. You want to sink in one stick of a foundation, the cost is maybe $12,000. It disappears into the ground. Into the ground and farewell." His talk defines him. The language tells so much. Kitty has three kids ("thirty pancakes, six per person"). Sunday-breakfast is a weekly ritual: it has earned a hyphen. Jerry is afraid of being stupid "I hate a dumb kid" but intelligence is associated with affluence, with being able to provide ("I will feed them until I see some brains wiggling in their dumb heads.") The metaphor is marvellous too: brains are worms that wriggle out when the head is filled; brain food. Grace Paley's prose is like that: telegraphic, — — ATUST-THE SCHBHUY! Now in paperback—the complete screenplay of the most discussed and probably the most shocking movie ever made. Pauline Kael proclaims it “the film that has made the strongest impression on me in almost 20 years of reviewing." Norman Mailer calls it “a failure worth a hundred films like The Godfather." See for yourself. With photographs from the film and critical essays by Pauline Kael and Norman Mailer BERNARDO BERTOLUCCIS Worth the wait. If novellists allowed characters to speak in the wildly poetic ways people really do speak, more novelists would be writing like Grace Raley. Writers search for the right word and what emerges is a controlled, formal look at an artificial creative world. Raley's technique is to locate the exact wrong word; the glorious, unexpected wrong word that in a phrase, an exclamation wrenches the character into the intense emotional complexity of "the open destiny of life." A wife, talking about her ex-husband who she's met outside the library: "He had had a habit throughout the 27 years of making a narrow remark which, like a plumber's snake, could work its way through the ears, down the throat, halfway to my heart. He would then disappear, leaving me choking with equipment. What I mean is, I sat down on the library steps and he went away." That over-extended metaphor moves through comedy and pathos to something purely affecting. The flat statement ("I sat down on the library steps and he went away") yokes the imaginative to the real, the metaphor takes off and veers wildly, crashing bravely back into the humdrum. The stories in this collection capture all sorts of New York voices: Italian, black, Puerto Rican, Irish. Jewish. These are street stories. Not intellectual head stuff; but heady stuff, buoyant. Raley's technique is collage. But unlike other modern collagists (most notably Donald Barthelme), Raley's is a collage of people and emotions and inventive speech, not a formal juxtaposition of differently crafted and shaped sentences. For this reason, Raley can pack more emotional information into four pages of story than most other writers can in twenty. For this reason, too, Raley's stories can career and careen so wildly through vernacular, poetic, peculiar and always surprising. emotions that two of the shortest stories (three Fifteen years ago Grace Paley's first book of pages each) lose their narrative bearings and crash short stories. The Little Disturbances of Man, into confusion.

This is to say he writes future mainstream, or social parody novels that have no science except a not-too-well calculated probability that Earth will exist in the year 2000. Commune 2000 has an added advantage. At the very top of this never-published-in-hardcover creation are the words "A Frederik Pohl Selection," which is further explained to mean that each book with this crest "reflects, the taste, integrity and discrimination that have made his own works so highly respected by critics and enjoyed by millions of readers." Frederik Pohl, three-time Hugo award winner and most recently nominated for his novella The Gold at the Starbow’s End, is one of the most austere-looking gentlement I have ever seen, and it is for that reason that his "selection" of this book comes as a shock. As science fiction, the book is as atrocious as the film version of 1985, in which the science advancements ranked far below that of today (and we have ten years to go). The plot of the book can be summed up by saying that the Earth is a whole; one united mass by the virtue of Universal Guaranteed Income, and that communes are developing as a reaction to this cosmic order. The plot thickens a little when the politicians come in, for they are fixing the National Data Bank, which correlates one's &ility quotient with one's job. Naturally, the politicians have no ability except for deception, so they rig the computer to keep their jobs.

Reynolds is a world traveler, forever moving in an What the story realty is about, however, is sexual attempt to see as much as he can in as little time as freedom. Proportionally, many more words are dedicated possible, and his writing reflects this to this subject than to the comparison between ancient guantity-versus-quality attitude. He has sent stories to communes and those of 2000. Reynolds does not analyze Analog arid The Magazine of Fantasy and Science Fiction this freedom or its effects, he merely describes it for such from places such as Morocco, Algeria, Syria, Saudi Arabia unknown purposes as personal satisfaction or increased and Mexico (where he now resides, supposedly) and this sales. It is remarkable that in the year 1974 such books as merely confirms the fact that a lot of publishers are also this and those of Richard Geis can be published under the stamp collectors. name of science fiction. In the introduction to his short story 'The Pacifist" For a long time science fiction has handled sex in the (F&SF, Jan. 1964), Reynolds is said to be a writer who most remarkable ways, and those ways have done justice "carries certain premises to their logical confusion." While to the genre, mixing speculation with science and human this was undoubtedly meant to be cute, it is nonetheless emotion. The first book generally proclaimed to treat sex true that the shaky premise of Commune 2000A.D. must science-fictionally is Philip Jose Farmer's The Lovers, logically end in confusion, Thousands of disenchanted which featured love with an alien possessing certain people fled the cities' to live in communes, and it is well insect-like qualities.

There is no way profit could be a motive, Dr. Kctter added. by Larry Kraftowitz and Gary Cohn © 1974, The Spectrum services at this University Birth Control Clinic, pregnancy Sub-Board’s including laboratory may be center and clinical counseling dismantled, pending a legal opinion from Albany and a Student-funded health - — policy decision by University President Robert Ketter. The controversy arose when expenditures by Sub-Board’s Birth Control Clinic were vetoed last month by Anthony Lorcnzetti, associate vice-president for Student Affairs, because “the use of mandatory student fees for medical supplies and services is outside the intent of the [fee] guidelines.” Dr. Lorcnzetti’s action unleashed a flood of protests from students and Sub-Board officials; raised the issue of whether student fees can be spent for health care; and prompted President Ketter to seek clarification of the fee guidelines from State University of New York (SUNY) legal counsel Walter Relihan late last month. Dr. Ketter received Dr. Relihan’s legal opinion last week, but said it consists of complicated legalistic language “which could be interpreted in several different ways.” He is therefore seeking a legal interpretation of Mr. Relihan’s legal opinion from State University of Buffalo legal counsel John Leach. Dr. Ketter was still awaiting the interpretation as The Spectrum went to press. \ Does health fit guidelines? According to official State University guidelines, mandatory fees may be used to finance programs of, cultural and educational enrichment, recreational and social activities, and tutorial activities. These programs must be organized “for the benefit of the campus community.” “There’s always been a question as to whether student mandatory fees should be used for certain individual students,” maintained Russ Gugino, SUNY vice-president for Student Affairs. He questioned; “Are all students being forced to put up money for a few?” This is definitely not the case, according to Mr. Campagna. “Last year in a University-wide study, students indicated that health care was their number one priority,” he said. The rising cost of health care, plus the fact that most students arc presently not in a position to afford the traditional fees for health care, would make Sub-Board’s operation a great asset to students, Mr. Campagna said. The Sub-Board Health Care program contains a Future spending frozen While awaiting clarification of the legal opinion provided by SUNY Central in Albany, Dr. Ketter has allowed Sub-Board to honor past financial commitments, but has refused to permit the Health Care Division to use student fees for future expenses. Pressed for some type of interpretation of Dr. Relihan’s legal opinion, Dr. Ketter insisted that he could not say for sure. “It was written in very legalistic terms if this were so-and-so, then you can do this, but you and we are awaiting a legal might want to do that interpretation from our counsel. Legally, it’s still not clear,” Dr. Ketter said. He added that his “own personal feelings” on health care “should be evident from trying to bail out the Birth Control Clinic,” but that his personal feelings could not affect “whether it’s legally possible” to use student fees for health care services. — - Price increases forced Meanwhile, Sub-Board has been given the go-ahead to set up an income-generating “revolving account” (which does not receive subsidies from mandatory student fees) to continue its operations. Health Care Division director A1 Campagna revealed that while the revolving account has allowed Sub-Board to continue its widely-used services, sole reliance on the revolving account has already forced a price increase in student health services. Some Sub-Board officials have speculated that the Administration is actually using the mandatory student fee issue as a guise under which the Faculty-Student Association (FSA) could take over the potentially profitable health care operations. FSA is the University’s not-for-profit corporation, controlled by the Administration, which operates Food Service, vending and the Bookstore. As evidence, the Sub-Board spokesman explained that Dr. Ketter’s February 20th letter to Dr. Relihan asks whether the FSA can “engage in the selling of birth control devices, pharmaceutics, etc.” as well as inquiries about the legality of using mandatory student fees for student health care. ‘No profit motive’ Vehemently denying that FSA was trying to take over the health care operation for profit reasons. Dr. Ketter declared; “We were exploring any and all ways to bail out the Birth Control Clinic. I think Sub-Board 1 is suffering from paranoia. The only motive was to bail out students. I’m not interested in who has control, 1 just want to see the [health] services provided,” Dr. Ketter added. “FSA cannot make a profit,” Dr. Ketter insisted. Because FSA is a not-for-profit corporation, “there is no — Dr. Robert Ketter Page two The Spectrum Wednesday, 27 March 1974 . • » *- . t — T* * V* Al Campagna “strong educational component,” he insisted. Students pursuing pre-medical studies have been able to gain invaluable experience from the program, and a credit-bearing elective will be offered next semester in conjunction with Health Care, Mr. Campagna explained. Additionally, Sub-Board is planning to open a pharmacy “where med tech students, pharmacists and professional people can all work together.” “That certainly will be of educational value and will be quite a feather in UB’s hat,” Mr. Campagna said. Interpretation needed There has never been any doubt as to whether pregnancy counseling is educational, agreed Dr. Lorenzetti. However, he felt the mandatory fee guidelines were “pretty general and require a great deal of interpretation.” The legality of dispensing birth control devices was questionable, he said, because they were used by select individuals and not “for the benefit of the campus community,” and because they were a “service” and not an educational experience. All health care is “of educational significance,” Student Association of State University (SASU) chairman Brian Petraitis insisted. “If a student is not healthy, either psychologically or physically, then his or her —continued on page 6— �Fac— —s—? —n 1 • —- u y. * , } .:*** ■> > .. r - '• ; -/ - Plus/minus grading option vetoed by Ketter by Richard Korman Contributing Editor President Robert Ketter yesterday vetoed the plus/minus grading option passed by the Faculty-Senate before vacation. In a letter to Fac-Sen chairman Gil Moore, Dr. Ketter indicated that he had asked many University departments how the addition of the plus/minus option for instructors would affect their students, and “almost unanimously, there was negative feedback,” explained Tom Craine, assistant to the President. “They said it could adversely affect students applying to graduate and professional schools,” he indicated. “Because most of the reaction has come back negative, Dr. Ketter is telling the Faculty-Senate that he will have to say ‘no’ at this point,” Dr. Craine continued. “He decided he cannot accept the Senate resolution without supporting documentation. If the Senate wants to bring back the proposal at a later date with supporting evidence, they are free to do so.” Dr. Craine added that “it is hard for a faculty member to make the insignificant differentiation between an A- and a B+,” indicating that this was one of the reasons Dr. Ketter took the unusual action of vetoing a Faculty-Senate resolution. Frank Jackalone Mark Humm The plus/minus option, proposed by professor of ‘Negative feedback’ Biology Harold Segal, came as an amendment to a motion Craine that Dr. mentioned there were also “logistical problems” with plus/minus, such as the revamping that which called for the ABCDF system to be retained. would be necessary in Admissions and Records and the “Despite its shortcomings, ABCDF should be retained,” awarding of Latin honors. However, these were only commented professor of Sociology Lionel Lewis, chairman secondary to' the “almost unanimous negative feedback” of the Faculty-Senate’s Grading and Evaluation committee from various sectors of the University as to a plus/minus and sponsor of the original motion on the committee’s grading option for instructors. Protests were filed by both behalf. Dr. Lewis cited a Grading and Evaluations Student Association (SA) President Frank Jackalone and Committee survey and last semester’s student referendum Dean of Undergraduate Education (DUE) Charles Ebert. Requesting that the Faculty-Senate recommendation as indications that students did not want change. be vetoed because it “is not in the best interest of the Much controversy has centered around conflicting students or the University,” Mr. Jackalone charged interpretations of last October’s Student Association Monday (before Ketter’s decision) that students who referendum on grading, and has raised doubts as to the oppose a plus/minus system “were neither consulted nor future use of referendums as measures of student opinion. considered in the Faculty Senate action” in a letter to Several spokesmen have said that the referendum results President Ketter. show that students do not want a plus/minus option, while “Speaking as a faculty member and a dean, I don’t others contend that the referendum demonstrated a like it,” commented Undergraduate Dean Charles Ebert. “I tendency toward plus/minus grading.

Dr. meaning at all. “The results of the referendum are Ebert also sent a letter to President Ketter detailing his ambiguous and can be interpreted any way you want,” dislike of the option. asserted SA Academic Affairs coordinator Mark Humm. ‘Not adequately discussed’ Dr. Ebert believes that the plus/minus option would make grading more complicated, creating problems in such areas as Scholastic Dismissal and Latin Honors. “Professional schools will make a B- into a B anyway,” Dr. Ebert observed. “Plus/minus will result in greater pressure for a faculty member to ‘up’ a student’s grade” by making smaller the gaps between grades, he explained. “The whole thing becomes totally unacceptable,” he said. Commenting on the proposal’s passage in the Faculty-Senate, Dr. Ebert maintained: “It was not adequately discussed; I’m a little bit concerned about how it was done; it was not very well thought through.” According to the Faculty-Senate’s grading resolution, scheduled to take effect in September, an A equals 4.0 quality point, A- is worth 3.7, B+ equals 3.3, etc. There will be no A+ or F+ grades. According to the motion, approved by the Senate before spring vacation, the option of adding a plus or minus to a student’s letter grade will be available only to instructors of undergraduate courses at their discretion. Surveys to replace referendums? In the referendum, 905 students voted that they were satisfied with the present grading system, while 790 students said they were not. Asked what they would prefer “as an alternative to the present grading system,” 588 students voted for the addition of a plus/minus option, 428 preferred a system of pass/fail or pass/fail/pass with honors, and 296 desired another system altogether. those who vote are “A referendum is like a poll those most interested,” commented Mr. Jackalone. “We would like to rely as little as possible” on referendums, he continued, “and possibly use the Survey Research Center to survey student opinion, which would be much more accurate.” Mr. Jackalone declared that the plus/minus resolution was contrary to student desires because, although the referendum results were vague, they clearly showed that “a significant portion of students wanted much less rigidity in the grading system,” he believes. “It is very fair to allow the faculty to be able to have this increased degree of accuracy, insofar as we retain the present grading system,” argued Dr. Segal in favor of his Reservations for PASSOVER/ • • • First and Second Seder Dinners • Box Lunches Home Hospitality for Seder Are now being taken at Hillel Table and Hi/lel House — The Spectrum is published three times a week, on Monday, Wednesday and Friday, during the regular academic year; and once a week, on Friday, during the summer months; by The Dr Charles Ebert . motion. Plus/minus “diminishes pressure for grades among students by making smaller the differences between grades,” he said. Would increase competition The SA letter was prepared by Executive vice-president Scott Salimando, Mr. Humm and Mr. Jackalone. The letter pointed out that the Faculty-Senate’s recommendation did not include a high grade of 4.3 and stated that “it is presumptuous to assume that an increase in the classification will improve the quality of evaluating student performance.” Furthermore, the letter pointed out that a plus/minus system could have an aversive effect on students applying to graduate schools. The letter also discussed the procedural difficulties of implementing the plus/minus grading system. "The nationwide trend is toward less specific grading, not more. Although we should be a leader and not a follower, this could be indicative that plus/minus is a step backward,” added the letter.

Athletic Committee Budget amendment called for in report by Dave Grainger Sports Editor i After several months of debate and discussion, the Future of Athletics Committee has issued its report, which calls for a change in the consideration of the athletic budget. The committee, headed by Bruce Engel and commissioned by former SA president Jon Dandes, has attempted to deal with several important issues regarding athletics. “I’m proud of what it is,” said Mr. Engel. “What it says is good and should be considered. There were areas in which the committee did not do all it could have done, and the report is not all that it could have been. There were discrepancies over what was the proper domain of the committee,” Mr. Engel added. The report calls for an SA constitutional amendment regulating the Student Assembly’s method of dealing with various budgets. The amendment provides that all recognized organizations would submit a budget by March IS. If the budget was not passed by the Student Assembly on or before May 15, a percentage of fees equal to the percentage that the organization received during the current year would be automatically appropriated. ‘That would have the effect of forcing the [Athletic] Department to have their budgets in by the proper time,” Mr. Engel affirmed. “It would also force the Assembly to act on it by a certain date. If they didn’t act on it, it would be automatically passed,” added Mr. Engel. The report also discussed the role of the Student Athletic Review Board. “They [SARB] will be a dynamic body dealing with situations as they happen,” Mr. Engel reported. “The idea is for a coach to come in and meet with them twice a year. Once is to discuss their budget, the other time is to discuss the general direction of the program. Scheduling is a major point. The SARfi could deal with recruiting, also,” continued Mr. Engel. Mr. Engel discussed the situation in which the athletic budget is reviewed by both the SARB and the SA finance committee. “Right now, there is A possible 10 to 30% cutback in the funding of no way to avoid that,” Mr. Engel next year’s College Work-Study program may be commented. “It would take coming, according to President Robert Ketter. The another constitutional cutback is especially severe since an additional 1600 amendment to change that students will be enrolled in the program. procedure.

Departments will be hurt There are also off-campus jobs at the YMCA, Churches, the Historical Society, and other non-profit community services. The students work 15 hours a week, and often full-time during the summer, receiving from $2.00 to $2.50 per hour, depending on the type of work. Most students earn about $700 per year. “If the program is cut back, it would not only hurt the students dependent on the money, but the departments as well. The departments depend very heavily on work-study to fill certain positions, since they pay only 20% of the student’s salary,” Mr. Carter said. While most students in the program would still be able to attend school, it would be much more difficult for many of them to afford it if not for Work-Study. Dr. Ketter also announced that there may be similar reductions in National Direct Student Loan Funds and Supplementary Educational Opportunity Grants. However, University officials will appeal the lower funding and expect to meet with some success since final allocations are usually greater than preliminary indications. �restored for the 1974-75 fiscal year in the supplemental budget. The supplemental budget consists of items not funded in the regular budget but later deemed worthy of financing. No Amherst campus shrinks Questioning the need for an educational institution as large as the projected size of the new Amherst Campus, State planning officials have deleted $3.9 million worth of planning funds for four mqor projects at the new Amherst Campus from the proposed 1974-75 budget. The projects for which money was cut include a restaurant and student activities building, a social science building, a chemistry and biology building, and a gymnasium and swimming pool, the second stage of a health and physical education complex.

The legislators feel the supplemental budget is the best method of obtaining money at this late date. John Neal, Assistant vice-president of Facilities Planning, said his office knew about the $3.9 million cut several months ago. He is optimistic about reinstatement of the money, however, adding that if the money comes through, planning for the Amherst Campus will recommence as scheduled. Student Association President Frank Jackalone hopes to contact state legislators, local newspapers, and Governor Malcolm Wilson, urging them to work toward reinstating the funds. In other news, SUNY Central Administration has reportedly placed a freeze on funds in the operating budget which would affect equipping of the Amherst creative crafts center. However, University officials were unable to confirm this news. Wire Service Guild continues to strike UPI represented by the Guild.

FSA cannot make a profit, only a 2% profit margin to keep it going. Dr. Ketter explained. “And if I find out Sub-Board I is making a profit, they will be out of business,” he said, noting that Sub-Board is “only a fee-dispersing entity.” Dr. Ketter indicated he was upset that “some individuals are concerned that Sub-Board would lose control” of health care, maintaining that the important thing is whether the services are provided, not who controls them. “Funds for and students have health care arc inadequate come forward with a solution to use their fees to but assist health services, which is laudable another question,” whether it’s legally possible is Dr. Ketter said. Some Sub-Board members and students believe that the issue over using student fees for health care services first surfaced because of emotional reactions, not economic gains or legal questions. Specifically, Sub-Board officials have accused Dr. Lorenzetti of vetoing the use of student funds for the birth control clinic because of his personal viewpoints. Questioned whether he personally supported or opposed birth control. Dr. Lorenzetti said: “I don’t think that’s an appropriate question that has nothing to do with it.” education is being denied. Pregnant students cannot stay in school,” Mr. Petraitis asserted. Another area of dispute concerns whether Sub-Board has been charging fees for its health services. Sub-Board had at one time been dispensing birth control pills free of charge, explained Dr. Lorcnzctti, a practice which directly influenced his decision not to sign requisition forms for the Birth Control Clinic. Tills aren’t free’ One Sub-Board spokesman maintained, however, that services had never been dispensed free of charge. “We never give out pills to anyone, nor do we sell them randomly,” said Edie Chanin, co-director of the Birth Control Clinic. She surmised that Dr. Lorenzetti may have been confused because the Clinic provides only the first month’s supply of birth control pills free of charge, a norma) procedure among doctors and clinics. “We have not been giving out professional services for free,” agreed Mr. Campagna, noting that the fees charged arc not too expensive for the average UB student.” Student fees are used only as ‘seed money’ to generate income, and any money that is advanced eventually goes back into student mandatory fee accounts, Mr. Campagna explained. In his letter to Dr. Relihan asking whether mandatory student fees could be used for health care. Dr. Ketter also asked whether FSA could legally get into the health business: “It has been suggested that there is nothing within the current FSA, contract to prohibit the FSA from establishing, for example, an operating pharmacy under the supervision of professionals from the School of Pharmacy at Buffalo.” Dr. Ketter continued: “In like fashion, it has been suggested that the Health Service could dispense prescription drugs and devices appropriate for birth control. The basic question is: Legally, can the FSA go in this direction?” — — — ‘Not entirely Ketter’s option’ Although the immediate decision to disband or increase student-funded health services at this University lies with Dr. Ketter, Dr. Relihan told The Spectrum that the issue might be one of a University-wide nature. That is: “Should there be wide-ranging health services on SUNY campuses?” “It is not entirely Ketter’s option,” Dr. Relihan said. “We must decide whether the guidelines resolve the question one way or another and whether the Trustee Resolution (mandatory fee guidelines] should be changed.” In addition to the birth control clinic, pregnancy counseling service and clinical laboratory .Sub-Board’s Health Care Division utilizes licensed professional doctors for its medical services and operates rubell screening, blood assurance program, student health insurance and various educational seminars. Future plans call for a pharmacy, speaker program, dental clinical operations, an ambulance emergency service and credit-bearing professional programs. One of the major purposes or goals of Sub-Board’s health care program, according to Mr. Campagna, is to establish a self-sufficient health care program that will eventually not be affected by SUNY policy. “Having a health care program won’t prevent the state from withdrawing funding,” he said. “When that happens, we don’t we’ll want to be caught with our pants,down have something to take its place once it’s here.” He added: “We believe that health care is a right, not a privilege.’' Sub-Board vs FSA? Mr. Campagna explained that Sub-Board was currently making plans to open a student-financed pharmacy in conjunction with the School of Pharmacy. Additionally, an ambulance service and X-ray unit are in the planning stages. Another Sub-Board spokesman explained that FSA would like to stop plans for future Sub-Board expansion because of what he termed “rapid paranoia.” Reiterating that FSA was not trying to take control of the health care operation for economic advantage, Dr. Ketter explained: ‘They came to me because of the problems with the Birth Control Clinic,” which was a $2000 debt which the Clinic was unable to pay when Dr. Lorenzetti bounced the Clinic’s requisition forms. “We [FSA] explored different ways of bailing them out. One was that FSA might be able to get into that area [health care],” Dr. Ketter said, explaining that this was why he asked for legal clarification from Albany as Happy Birthday to you . . .

He comes over to me and I ask, “Did L.L. find you?” And he says, “That tomato’s a crazy kid.

There’s a place for the sex stuff, but that tomato belongs in a hospital.” Perry White, out of his cubicle, excited as hell: “Was Superman at the fire?” “You bet,” says Kent. “Well, what the hell happened?” “He saved Lois Lane and caught the arsonists for God and country.” “What did he do to them?” and the s/m in White begins to show. “What any man would do: He slapped them around a little and then made them apologize.” — hung-over 10:30: Kent swaggers in (he’s on a heavy booze trip) . .

The Birth Control Clinic, student health insurance, pregnancy counseling, rubella clinic, clinical lab and blood assurance programs have been providing students with professional health until vice-president care they could afford Anthony Lorenzetti vetoed expenditures by the Birth Control Clinic last month because he felt they were not a proper use of mandatory student fees. Dr. Lorenzetti partially based his decision on the notion that student fees were being used to pay for services that would benefit only a few individuals. But the same be applied to any argument could student-funded activity from movies to a day care center, and health care is a more universal service than either. In the case of the Birth Control Clinic, only the sen/ice was paid for by fees; items like contraceptives, which are available to both males and females, are paid for by the individual. We trust that Dr. Lorenzetti's veto was nothing more than a bad professional misjudgment, and not an indication of his personal feelings, as some have charged. Once Dr. Lorenzetti's veto prevented the Clinic from paying its back debts, President Robert Ketter commendably stepped in and allowed the establishment of a "revolving account" which technically doesn't involve student fees to enable the Clinic to pay its past bills. But future expenses have been frozen, and an entire can of worms has been the central revolving around opened question: Can mandatory student fees be used for health care? The SUNY guidelines state that student fees may be used only for educational, social, recreational or cultural purposes. Health care is undeniably both an educational enterprise and a social service which most students could not otherwise afford. Additionally, interpretation of fee guidelines is usually left up to the individual campus presidents to decide. In this case, however, Dr. Ketter felt he had to seek a legal ruling from Albany. That, coupled with the fact that Dr. Ketter also asked the Albany if Administration-controlled FSA could legally into the health business, has prompted some paranoia as to whether FSA is seeking to use the fee issue to take control of the profitable health operation itself. We do not believe that this is President i<etter's motive. He, like students, is vitally interested in maintaining quality health care for students at this University. Dr. Ketter went out on a limb to enable the Birth — — — Control Clinic to continue functioning amidst the legal controversy. Despite his personal feelings, however, phrases like "birth control clinic" still generate emotional feelings in both the Buffalo community and the State Legislature. With the Legislature presently considering the SUNY budget, SUNY Central in Albany undoubtedly must be very responsive to Legislators' feelings, even if those reflect the emotional, anti-birth control feelings of their constituents. Dr. Ketter wants to see quality health care on this campus, regardless of who has to administer it. And he did not want to have the limb he was climbing out on sawed off by a negative legal ruling from Albany. So he proceeded cautiously, seeking a legal ruling first, and asking if FSA could take over health care in case Albany rules that student fees cannot be used for this vital service. Such a ruling would be extremely narrow-minded; how can the use of student fees- be illegal for something that students have overwhelmingly indicated is their top priority? Nevertheless, until all the legalistic interpretations are sorted out, a negative ruling from Albany is still possible. Such a ruling would have to be vehemently because the by students, protested Administration-run FSA does a very poor job in adhiinstering student services, as their monopolies in Food Service and the Bookstore should prove. But if the ruling were negative, and student efforts failed to reverse it, then health care provided by FSA would be better than no health care at all. And this is why President Ketter wanted to know the legality qf FSA entering the health field: to provide another option in case the worst happens. Despite some paranoia in both Sub-Board and FSA, it is doubtful that FSA would want to duplicate Sub-Board's three years of work and money to get a health care operation off the ground. They generally recognize that Sub-Board has done an excellent job in providing health services to students. But Dr. Ketter has merely been trying to keep his options open so that health care can be continued no matter what the legal ruling. We strongly urge that an accommodation be reached which would enable Sub-Board to continue to provide low-cost, high-quality health care. Nothing could be a more proper expenditure of student fees than caring for students' health. But students will have to re-examine their own options if Albany decrees that we must check into Meyer Memorial Hospital every time we are sick because we cannot spend our fees on our health. Plus/ minus fails We heartily corrmend President Ketter's decision yesterday to veto the plus/minus grading option passed by the Faculty-Senate before vacation. Our criticism of that educationally regressive proposal was echoed SA President by Jackalone, Frank Undergraduate Dean Charles Ebert, and practically all the departments that Dr. Ketter surveyed for their reactions to plus/minus. Most departments said it would hurt students vying for places in graduate and professional schools. "Almost unanimously," said Dr. Ketter's assistant, "the feedback was negative." Dr. Ketter cited many excellent reasons for to the Senate's refusing sign haaCHy-passed proposal. First, it was a simple resolution with no supporting evidence as to why plus/minus would be a positive change. It would also chop the grading scale into even more meaningless distinctions than the five letters the instructor must choose between now. He might have added that making smaller distinctions between grades which are only approximations of a student's work would increase, not reduce, competition, by giving the student a smaller and even more absurd gradation to strive for. It is quite unusual when President Ketter vetoes a Faculty-Senate resolution, but the Senate's hasty passage of such a backward proposal and the universal protest it practically demanded that he step elicited in. Students at this University have been spared the absurdity of studying all semester for a plus or a minus. Despite those that would like to see the grading scale chopped up into tenths, the inadequate system of letter grades will have to suffice for now. — — — — Page eight The Spectrum Wednesday, 27 March 1974 . . Below the belt criticism To the Editor. I was more than taken by Mr. Silverblatt’s review that of Anything Goes. It proved one thing only below the belt criticism is in ample supply, whereas groups of people working hard and working together creatively (as found in Panic Theater) are indeed rare. I had only to read as far as the comparison of a red howling money of South America to Panic Theater to know what caliber a review to expect from Mr. Silverblatt. When his desire to heave large boulders at people subsides, I hope he speaks to enough people who saw the show to realize what a tremendous performance he missed. To paraphrase his own words: I appreciate the review, some of which could have been rather striking if it hadn’t been so ineptly executed. It’s actually humorous to realize that someone with as little journalistic, critical and ethical understanding as Silverblatt has can command the title, “contributing editor” of The Spectrum. Unfortunately, his good vocabulary is laid to waste by his lack of perception, coherent ideas, and above all, insight into the philosophy of Panic Theater. My final comment is this; Judy Weinberg particularly deserves congratulations, for much more than “holding a large crowd together.” For she, and her staff enthusiastically and lovingly put together one of the finest and best received shows I’ve seen on this campus. And words like ‘.enthusiastically” - and “lovingly” perhaps help explain why, when Mr. Silverblatt and his cynisism are gone and forgotten, Panic Theater will still be playing to full houses. Kevin Parker Full-page ego boost To the Editor: Well, the SA might feel that it has “done one hell of a job” in its past administration, but it certainly lacks discretion and sense of any type. The SA had the audacity to spend mandatory student fees for a useless, ego-boosting full page ad in the March 13 edition of The Spectrum. And it is no small pittance: $175.50 (the cost of the ad) could certainly have been used for better purposes. Perhaps something useful, like serving the students’ needs.

I can assure him that the deficit in the Faculty was incurred not by the appointment of 11 tenured professors but by the complete lack of lines given us in this most recent budget. The deficit is nothing like that specified and there is no possibility that TA’s already at this University, and performing well, will be laid off. The main implications of our loss of new lines are that the recruitment of distinguished faculty must be reduced and the admission of new graduate students similarly reduced. One of the reasons alleged for our loss of new lines was that enrollment in the Faculty had declined by IS% This seems a national trend but it does have budgetary implications for us. I would advise Audit the Books not to be misled by rumors or believe that unfair employment practices will ever go into operation in Arts and Letters. As a member of the University community for the past six years, and as a participant in both undergraduate and graduate student governments during those years, I have been able to observe much of what goes on in the 205 suite of Norton Hall. On Wednesday, March 13, 1974, I was saddened to see the worst case of blatant exhibitionism in those six years, on the pages of The Spectrum. I’m not referring to the streakers, at least they had something to exhibit; I’m referring to the $175.50 full-page ad, paid for with student fees, praising the Dandes’ administration, taken out by the Dandes administration. The ad lists 50 “accomplishments.” Examining the list superficially, one might get the impression that this SA administration actually got a hell of a lot done. Closer examination reveals the list can be trimmed considerably. A number of redundancies appear Point 7 includes, “Establishment of Responsible Fiscal Authority,” Number 10, “Reduction of S.A. Deficit,” and Number 32, “Payment of all Past SA debts. Numbers 23, 38 & 39 all deal with excellent relations with faculty and Faculty-Senate committees. However, Mr. Dandes constantly antagonized many faculty members by his attacks upon them and his claim last September that there is no division between the students and administration, but between students and faculty. A group of real accomplishments (40, 41, 46, 47) deal with the North Campus. These improvements in the condition of our new campus are real, and are the accomplishment and hard work of North Campus Coordinator Howie Shapiro. Unfortunately Mr. Shapiro’s name was omitted from the list. Points 21, 22, 23, 24, 29, 30 point out establishment of excellent relationships with the UB Foundation, Faculty Senate, outside community, area legislators and UB administration. These may or may not be the case; but either way, what about relations with the other student governments, or the undergrad student body? Point 7 contends enlargment of undergraduate representation to Board of Directors of Sub-Board I, Inc. This is true. By John P. Sullivan Provost Stuffy and snobby - To the Editor. I would like to comment on the extremely insipid 13 issue) review by Mr. Michael Silverblatt (March on Panic Theater’s production of “Anything Goes.” Unfortunately, it is always so-called writers like Mr. Silverblatt who spend many words either warning the reader that he will dislike what he is about to read, or apologizing for what he has already said. This type of ‘critic’ commands little respect, and certainly leaves much to be desired. Although his tirade on the state of the performing arts at U.B. (the financial problems, etc.) contains several valid points, Mr. Silverblatt still refuses to recognize Panic Theater as anything more than it potentially good. In defense of Panic Theater has successfully filled a void at U.B. Prior to its establishment, there was no organization on campus devoted to the presentation of musical comedy, a facet of the American theater that has developed primarily during the 20th century. Apparently, Mr. Silverblatt has some very stuffy, snobbish and ridiculous ideas about American musical comedy. He also has no respect for amateur status. Panic Theater works with the people who are interested in and dedicated to the performing and technical aspects of the musical comedy. Panic Theater has never tried to produce a Busby Berkeley extravaganza with rows and rows of statuesque blonde chorus girls. Quite to the contrary the beauty of Panic Theater is its — — individuality. “Anything Goes” was performed and produced by some very talented and enthusiastic people. It pleased and entertained a large audience. Mr. Silverblatt begrudgingly gives the show two lines of conciliatory praise, and chooses to ignore entirely most of the best things about the show. He has forcing the other student governments to vote for this change by the threat of withholding funds for Sub-Board I, regardless of its effects on the undergraduate students, Jon got his fifth delegate. This delegate was bought, based on cash and nothing else. Not equal student for student representation, but on dollars like an oil company. SASU participation is not mentioned in the accomplishments. Early this year, SUNYAB’s participation in SASU was sorely jeopardized by the SA’s reluctance to push their allocation through an administrative stall, and the Graduate Student Association had to take that initiative alone. Point SO describes a strong student voice on academic issues. The plus-minus grading is still to be judged, the colleges are not what they were. In item 28 we see increased aid for health care; however, recently the Student Health Clinic couldn’t get money for three weeks, the clinic didn’t know why, Sub-Board didn’t know why, the other student governments didn’t know why. Jon Dandes did, and he wasn’t talking. Accomplishments 34 & 35, well let’s not jump the gun. Although both changes in Food Service seconds policy, and an air structure recreational facility are in the works, I haven’t seen them yet. And speaking of guns, what has the SA done to keep Security unarmed (17)? I could go on, but why not look into it yourself. I don’t want to condemn the entire SA; there were some excellent people, including Cliff Palefsky, Howie Shapiro and Bob Burrick amongst others. The blame for the Student Association more responsive to the University administration than the students belongs at the top. I’ve been here through Rick Schwab, Bill Austin, Mark Huddelston, Ian DeWaal and Debbie Benson; each of their SA’s had faults, but in comparison, the leaders were worthy of canonization. The inaction of some past SA’s would be better than the compromise of the entire student body by the outgoing president. I wish the incoming Executive Committee much luck, and I hope Mr. Jackalone, the new president, will take charge of returning the integrity to student government. Mr. Dandes’ ad cost you $175.50; I offer you my analysis free of charge. Racial discrimination in hiring To the Editor. In response to Jon Dandes’ statement, which appeared in the Buffalo Evening News on March 5, 1974, concerning Black faculty hiring at the State University of New York at Buffalo, Dandes' rebuttal was clearly irrelevant and opinionated without facts. He implied that SUNYAB hiring practices of Black is more progressive than most American universities. a tasteless and hollow review, and has obviously missed the point by a long shot. The point is that Panic Theater produced a show that was enjoyed and appreciated by those who saw it written precisely for its fun, good spirit and distinctiveness. This does not alter the fact that there is discrimination in hiring of Black faculty on this campus. Dandes used rude and ignorant tactics to attack Mr. Eve personally and evades the true point of Eve’s comments. We, the members of the Educational Opportunity Program Student Rachel Korman The Spectrum the studcnt-to-teachcr ratio among Black* the University it an unacceptable proportion in comparison to the percentage of white faculty. There are approximately 1386 full-time faculty members at SUNYAB of which 64 are Black, which comes to 0 05%. According to a Ford Foundation report issued in 1969 at least 2280 Blacks had Ph.D’s. There has been and even now exists a large poo) of well trained Blacks holding Ph.D's so supply can’t be the reason for such a low percentile of Black faculty members on campus. We demand that the University open up its files and let the true number of Black faculty be known and what departments they are associated with.

One of the ugliest facts of this whole situation is that by his own admission, living Spitzberg does not intend to stay with the Colleges. Do you realize what this means? We are the ferocious lion in the cage. He is the new tamer. That’s all we are; that’s all he is. He is not trying to shape a child of his dreams or to bring productive structures to our' campus. He is making his career. Now let me repeat again that I have great respect for Spitzberg. He is a man in possession of himself. He also is well endowed with the courage and bold ness necessary in his office. And he is an honorable man. On his second day in office he commences an attack on Shanti Parakh, who teaches yoga with us at College E. First of all, in no system of reckoning is two days enough for anybody to understand an organization such that he could commence a petty attack on ah individual instructor. Second of all, Shanti is without a doubt the most polite and considerate person in the whole damn College E. Well, see, Spitzberg comes down on Shanti with both guns a-blazing. A perceptive man, Sptizberg. Shanti was really quite upset. He asked the College what to do. Wo felt that the attack was specious first of all, but that even if Spitzberg’s case were good, we on no conditions would agree to be dealt with that way. We advised defiance and waited for further information and positions to emerge. But instead of dialogue, Spitzberg completely ignores College E’s he response and makes further threats on Shanti threatened him with criminal action. Again we advised defiance. These moves failing, he has now agreed that maybe we should dialogue some and settle this like human beings. Spitzberg, while you have left. most of the people in the Colleges with some shreds of hope, you have taken everything from at least me.

What has it got to loae? And isn’t this attack completely natural and justified? Spitzbeig is the boss, he has the final say. I am separate from him and under his control. Spitzberg is the new director of the Collegiate Assembly. He is the first administrator the University has come up with who it seems will be able to carry out the rape of the Colleges. Cold, observant with a- deceptive warmth, careful, understanding the logic of the situation very well. And an honorable man. The real anguish is that for many years the people in the Collegiate System have been trying to develop alternative institutions. And now not only must we undergo a “chartering” process by a spineless academic hierarchy, but our new master has a final and absolute veto over anything and everything we want to do. This goes almost to the pomt of wiping ourselves after the toilet. The Colleges have lost meaning as decision-making units. The great arm of the directorreaches unto the tiniest sparrow. As of a few weeks ago, it is no longer up to the Colleges to choose their own members and then present themselves for evaluation. We received from Irving Spitzberg letters demanding in effect that each and every instructor undergo his personal scrutiny. Evaluate the person by the ink marks and whether he is a political force or not and whether or not he or she should be castrated (removed).

Good food is the way to a woman’s heart as well. Eating “But the abandoned butcher shop hadn’t been used in eight years. None of the organizers had ever rebuilt a restaurant before. But, they say, we learned more than we ever imagined.” It took the New Age children from December 1971 to last April to finally open. “We had hassles upon hassles,” one says. “It took us months just to get the garbage out of there.” But they’ve worked hard building and rebuilding, getting permits and licenses, getting money (all personal loans from anonymous donors) and finding affordable electricians and plumbers. “There are about twenty money contributors, but about 100 people have helped in one way or another,” says Steve. The Greenfield Street Restaurant is quite nice with wood floors and hanging lamps. There’s smooth light-colored wood to greet a hungry diner on the outside and a collage of plants on the inside. The huge, brightly-lit kitchen is wide open so that the constituency can and will probably change from day to day. “We are all UB t interested in serving well-prepared, home-cooked meals.

The New Age restaurant was the first restaurant of this kind begun in September of 1970. Located on Grider Street, the New Age was a very small “natural foods” restaurant serving mainly varieties of the standard vegetable and rice dish. The organizers of that restaurant were students from this University who worked as volunteers, taking as wages only a meal a day to sustain themselves. The New Age operated « smoothly in cramped quarters throughout that school year. But the demise of the New Age restaurant began in May 1971 when two of the original organizers graduated. Barbara, Any resemblance to actual events orto anyone living or dead ie no* accidental. another of the Greenfield Street’s organizers explained: “It began about then that the New Age fell apart. Everything was running smoothly during the summer of ’71, but in late August the landlord raised the rent considerably and we just didn’t have the money. I remember the day we moved all the furniture out, we sat outside on the curb deciding what to do next.” “We realized then what was really wrong with the New Age,” says Jeff. “We were operating in an ‘unrealistic utopia.’ Our alternate society inside the New Age was really inside a much larger system. We really wanted a place from which we could support ourselves. We needed a means to make a living. Our utopia just didn’t work.” Whether it was the demise of the New Age restaurant or the demise of alternative culture in America, the Organizers set out to find another restaurant to apply what they had learned from their New Age experience. In November 1971 they found an abandoned butcher shop on a quiet street called Greenfield. “We thought we’d be open in a few months,” said organizer Stu.

More MIT Symphony students as well as women from than a little has to do with the force, an orchestra’s driving nearby Wellesley organization which has been conductor David Epstein. Dr. Epstein manages to gaining an "artistic reputation enviable by many professionals. combined his activities with the Only last year they received orchestra with guest conducting critical a claim during a appearances, an- independent transcontinental tour which career as a noted composer, and included performances in an enthusiastic love of sailing. A - In the years following the Second World War, with the dawn of the nuclear age, the great technological schools became increasingly aware of the necessity of providing a broader education for their students in the humanities and the ethical sciences. Engineers were to occupy very prominent positions in the new techno-society which would require them to make serious decisions beyond the scope of their technical specialty. To prepare them for such responsibilities, they must be made aware that the scientist and the scholar of the humanities necessarily engage in an identical conceptual process. Our ideas of emotion beauty, and morality are subject to the same objective criteria and rational law as circuitry and fluid mechanics. Training and exercise in the humanities could therefore be beneficial to, and provide another perspective for, other fields the student might pursue. With this philosophy in mind, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) recently began a vast expansion of its arts and humanities programs. Today it is actually a full-fledged university - — pupil of the late Geoige Szell, Dr. Epstein draws out the warmth and enthusiasm of his orchestra in Szell’s manner. He believes that the orchestra maintains its consistently high quality of performance, even in the face of a constantly shifting student membership, because they regard themselves “not as students, but as young professionals who work hard to probe their music and find its meaning. We even take out the blackboard and analyze,-talk over the problems at hand and get very definite ideas about what we want to do. This intense approach, in which we expect things of each other, naturally attracts a very high caliber of musician, and in this way we continue to grow artistically.” ■ The MIT orchestra plays an unusual and intriguing repetoire, as well as more traditional fare, partly for their own musical growth and performing pleasure, and also to attract the huge numbers of students in the Greater Boston area. It is perhaps this attraction of student to student which induces them to accept many engagements on campuses; and under the auspices of the State University of Buffalo Department of Music and the current Art-Topsy Spring Arts Festival, the MIT Symphony will be appearing at Kleinhans Music Hall this Wednesday evening, March 27. They will perform Harbjson’s incidental music to The Merchant of Venice-, Ernest Bloch’s Hebraic Suite, featuring one of the most dynamic young violists on the American scene, Marcus Thompson; and a work very popular with Buffalo and campus audiences, Mahler’s Symphony no. 1 in D Major, the Titan.

Local control Nixon urges support of education funding President Nixon requested Congressional support last weekend for educational funding proposals now before Congress, which would provide an increase in local and community control of schools, substantial the legislation and continuation of financial support anti-busing programs for college students. “The Congress is rapidly approaching the time when it must make decisions that will significantly affect the future of American education,” Mr. Nixon speech said a weekend in broadcast nationwide from the Presidential retreat at Camp David. The President’s remarks were directed toward legislation now under consideration in both the House and Senate. Terming the House measure “a bill that represents a step in the right toward direction more community and state control over their elementary and secondary schools,” Mr. Nixon added: “Parents know that the education of their children can most effectively be carried out in neighborhood schools.” The Senate, which is also considering new legislation to change educational funding, was cautioned by Mr. Nixon that he veto “any bill that complicates the funding process and hinders the return of control to states and communities.” would Aid to college students The Presidential address dealt also with the program of Basic Opportunity Grants (BOGs) and the system of guaranteed student loans currently being scrutinized by Congress. The White House has been supporting a program of direct educational grants to college students, making annual funds of up to $1400 available to each eligible student who would be eligible for such a grant is also being debated. Mr. Nixon referred to the failure of the Senate to allocate the necessary $ 1.4 billion he requested for that purpose in 1973. Mr. Nixon emphasized his opposition to extensive busing measures, and his support for community control over local school decisions. “With the help of the Congress, I believe we can turn our hope for more local control over education into reality within a matter of weeks,” Nixon said. Mr. Difficultiesfor bulls in south The baseball Bulls returned from their southern trip Monday after compiling a 4-6-1 record in Florida. Three of the four Buffalo victories came against Biscayne College, but the other was an 8-5 win over Southern Illinois, the nation’s seventh-ranked squad. Buffalo failed to win a game in the five-team Hurricane Twin Tournament at Miami, posting an 0-5-1 record. The Bulls were thrashed twice by Miami, the eighth-ranked team in the country, 5-2 and 14-1. Buffalo also dropped decisions to Ohio State (5-1), playoff rival Seton Hall (9-4) and Michigan State, while playing the Spartans to a 7-7 tie in another contest. Miami won the tourney with six consecutive wins, including a 16-0 annihilation of Ohio State. Second baseman Rich Magliazzo was the Bulls’ offensive star during the southern trip, hitting safely 19 times in 34 at bats, a .558 clip. The senior second sacker was named to the tournament’s all-star squad. Shortstop Jim Lalayanis, who hit .406, joined pitcher Jim Niewczyk on the tourney’s second team. r----- PROFESSOR WILLIAM J.

"Class Conflict, Segregation, and Racism in Historical Perspective" Catcher Gary Cox ripped opposing hurlers at a .400 pace in Florida. A lack of fielding hurt the Bulls on several occasions. Buffalo lost its opener to Florida International, 10-5, while committing seven errors. The Bulls committed six misplaysin their 5-1 defeat at the hands of Ohio State. The losses were the first ever suffered in collegiate competition by Bull ace righthander Jim Riedel. The Sophomore fireballer did not allow an earned run in either contest. The Bulls also experienced days when their pitchers couldn’t seem to find the plate. In the Bulls loss to Michigan State, righthander Mike Dean walked the first six batters he faced. A hit then gave the Spartans a 4-0 first-inning lead. The most damaging loss in Florida was probably the Seton Hall defeat. The Pirates were also a member of the District II Tournament field Iasi season. Buffalo must defeat the Pirates twice at Seton Hall when they meet on April 6 in order to be considered ahead of Seton Hall in the playoff picture this year. ------------------1 1 •I7-US4 - sverynaa's book stow fice# final kNks Irm lam mi small pnutt; literary t «■ March 28th 1:30 p.m. Room 147 Diefendorf Hall "The Changing Role of Ethnic Consciousness" ycrirticalt. iapartrt carts, ■taal gift Haas The University community it cordially invited to attend.

Page thirteen . �by Bruce Engel Contributing Editor quite a Buffalo Coach Ed Michael’s wrestling program bit in the last few years. The Bulls have compiled excellent dual meet records against good competition and have won or placed high as a team in many tournaments. However, one of Michael’s major goals remains unaccomplished. As the weekend spring vacation began, Michael took his two top wrestlers, Jim Young and Charlie Wright, to the National Collegiate wrestling championships in Ames, Iowa. The Bulls hoped to return with a national placewinner. something Buffalo has never had. Young was thought to have an excellent shot after having lost by only a point to defending champion Don Rohr of Clarion State in the qualifying tournament. Ironically, Wright came closer to placing, but both Buffalo wrestlers fell short of the mark. Michael claimed he wasn’t disappointed, though he admitted that Young and Wright could have done better. “1 felt they wrestled well,” the coach said. ‘This was the strongest national tournament I’ve ever seen,” Michael added. We really felt we had people who were capable, but we did not achieve the goal,” he continued. ‘‘We still haven’t come far enough in our program of the development of our athletes. It is difficult to do this when you do not enjoy the tools that those who traditionally have done this have at their disposal,” Michael added, citing a lack of scholarships, facilties and adequate support from the Student Association, which funds all athletic programs. ‘ Wright excels Wright a 190-pounder, wrestled “as good as he has all year,” in Michael’s words, but against better competition than he has seen all season. In the first round, Charlie defeated sixth-seeded Keith Leland from California Poly. Leland had won the Division Two nationals the week before to qualify for the Ames event. However, those impressive credentials did nothing to deter Wright. The Bull 190pounder rode Leland tenaciously and utilized two takedowns in the third period for a 6-2 win. In the second round Wright had little trouble with Minnesota’s Evan Johnson, shooting the works for a 13-4 decision. When Wright’s upper body moves are working, he is hard to beat. A headlock in the first 30 seconds got Charlie five quick points and set the tone for the rest of the bout. Nacin’s beating It was all downhill from there, however. In the quarterfinal round, where a win would have assured at least a sixth place finish, the Buffalo star was mauled by Iowa State’s third-seeded A1 Nacin. Nacin gave Wright a physical beating bad enough to cause Michael to refer to the natch as a “public mugging.” Nacin, who placed third in the tournament, opened up a cut over Wright’s right eye that required four stitches. With a little less than a minute remaining in the match, Nacin added insult to injury by pinning his Buffalo opponent. Wright could not recover sufficiently from this match by the time of his consolation round bout later that night, and dropped a 6-0 decision to Lehigh’s Don McCorkel. . waterskiing, swimming (W5I), pioneering and trips, canoeing, sailing, archery, team sports, arts & crafts, pianist, gymnastics, seamstress for accompanied by captivating notes and sounds.

Public hearing considered Meanwhile, Mr. Eve has stated that he is prepared to call on the Congressional Black Caucus Press copies available Dr. Ketter explained that he had not received to convene a public hearing in Buffalo to assist in Mr. Eve’s letter until March 5, even though copies of determining whether he or Dr. Ketter “is accurate” that letter were “available to the local and student regarding the 1971 visit by HEW. The conflict between Mr. Eve and Dr. Ketter press several days earlier.” The Spectrum received its first surfaced in mid-February when Mr. Eve stated copy of Mr. Eve’s letter to Dr. Ketter on March 1. “My concern is strengthened by two other that there are “only about 23” blacks on the State factors,” Dr. Ketter continued. “One, by the large University of Buffalo faculty.

Because women supposedly earn about $100 less than men during the summer, they can conceivably be awarded up to $100 more than men in their financial aid packages, according to lan DeWaal, a law student and member of the Committee on Financial Aid for students. “They really don’t look at summer earnings,” Mr. DeWaal asserted. “They simply estimate what you should have earned,” he said. “We have used an arbitrary figure; there is no way to deny this administratively,” agreed Anthony Lorenzetti, assistant vice-president for Student Affairs. “But that’s how it’s done with all students. There is no way of knowing precisely who earned what,” Dr. Lorenzetti explained. 1966 figures used Financial Aid bases this policy on a 1969 report by College Scholarship S e r vices (CSS) entitled Student Summer Earnings Expectations in College Scholarship Services Needs Analysis Procedures. This report cites two articles by Vera C. Ferrell a in Monthly Labor Review which quotes statistics showing that college-age men work more hours per week than women. The survey was done in October 1966. Every student eligible for financial aid is expected to make a contribution toward his education. This required minimum contribution, along with Regents Scholarships and any other resources, is subtracted from the individual student’s “budget” to arrive at his financial need. Last year, financial aid recipients were given approximately 50 per cent of their projected need. The minimum contribution required from freshmen is $400 for men and $300 for women. For sophomore financial aid recipients, men are expected to contribute $500, whereas women are expected to provide $400. Upperclassmen, independent, graduate and professional students expected to make a are contribution of $600 if they are men, and $500 if they arc women. Difference called unjustified The system by which these figures are used in determining financial aid is “arbitrary and capricious,” Mr. DeWaal said. “In this day and age,” he continued, “if one is going to establish an arbitrary distinction, they should have a normal justification for doing so; they should arbitrarily expect the same from both men and women.” Mr. DeWaal objected to the use of a statistical average in determining the needs of individual students. He cited the hypothetical example of a female freshman who earns $1000 a summer being required to make a minimum contribution of $300, while a male freshman who earns the same $500 a summer is —continued on page 2— ‘Lack of cooperation’ disputed Dr. Ketter sharply denounced Mr. Eve’s statement that the University had failed to cooperate Robert Ketter Few black Ph.D’s Dr. Ketter added that 4.6% of the University’s —continued on Arthur Eve page 16— —Santos �Academic departments planfor move to Ellicott by Diane R. Miller Spectrum Staff Writer Most of the 1200 students living at the Ellicott Complex next fall should be able to take most of their loWer division courses on that campus. Although this goal should make the Amherst Campus more attractive to the next year’s Amherst residents than this year’s, the reaction was mixed among by the departments chosen computer-assisted tests to move to Amherst by next fall. The departments of Classics, French, Germanic and Slavic Languages, History, Linguistics, Spanish,' Italian and Portuguese, the Critical Languages program, and some of the newly-Chartered Colleges will have office, classroom and library space at the Ellicott Comples, and will offer all of their upper division and graduate courses there. Some courses in these departments will also be offered on the Main Campus and at Ridge Lea. “Most departments will teach some lower division courses at the Ellicott Complex to meet the needs of the undergraduates living there,” said William Baumer, assistant vice-president for Academic Affairs. “Seventy-five to 80 per cent of the lower division enrollment of those students at Ellicott Complex will be taught there. The situation “will be inconvenient until the whole campus is moved,” Dr. Baumer said. However, he will try to provide a fair amount of cross-registration at the Ellicott Complex. Cross registration C ross-registration involves providing related courses in departments other than the one in which the student is majoring. Two=thirds of the students in the upper division of the language departments are language majors or social science majors. The Linguistics Department has its own majors, language department majors and social science majors. TTie History Department and some of the Colleges volunteered to move to the Ellicolt Complex.

Transportation problems will arise because elementary courses meet four or five times a week. French majors who take upper-level courses at Ellicott and teach lower-level courses on the Main Campus will also have transportation difficulties. - peasant Proximity needed French courses contain “an orientation towards English, theater, art, and comparative literature.” A student in the French Department needs proximity to these other units and to the “cultural life of the community around him. To isolate him on a' campus far away is to shut him off,” Said Dr. Simon. The study of French is tied in with other disciplines and that his department “does not want to teach strictly French,” he added. Like the Classics Department, «Dr. Simon is also worried about library facilities. Paul Garvin, head of the Linguistics Department, is “ambivalent but aware of the fact that people from related departments” will be at the Ellicott Complex. For*this reason he thinks his department is better located there. He is “not terribly enthusiastic,” but realizes the practicality of the move. His department, which is mainly graduate students, hopes to “expand cooperation with other departments, take advantage of other departments being there,” and “share the language labs.” • The decision to move all these departments was made on the basis of “computer-assisted tests,” which weighed such factors as bus transportation, space adaptability, and library facilities. “The computer is an impartial way of looking at this ' problem,“ said John Telfer, vice-president for Facilities Planning. “A great deal of work remains to be done" before class scheduling is* completed, he added. • . Financial aid —continued from page 1— required to contribute $400. This male-female discrepancy is unjustified, Mr. DeWaal charged. Dr. Loienzetti stressed the time fqfo\or in determining financial aid awards, and pointed out that his Student Affairs office is already preparing for next September. ‘There is no way of knowing how much the [state] Legislature will give us until July,” he maintained. ‘Men can earn more The CSS Report “is the best information available; if there was better information, we would use it,” Dr. Lorenzetti asserted. He continued: “We deal with hundreds of students from varying circumstances and different situations juniors vs. freshman, graduate vs. professional students there are many different variables. To simply this, CSS research and computer have an operation in which students fill out financial statements and run them through a computer to determine what students and parents contribute to the budget.” “It is an important piece of information; its absence would be noted, and its use is not arbitrary and capricious,” Dr. Lorenzetti claimed. “By giving women a $100 advantage, they can get more help from federal assistance programs; — — TODAY IS THEEE LAST DAY BEFORE VACATION THIS IS IT GANG TO GET PASSPORT, APPLICATION AND MCAT PHOTOS . . .

Mr. Stillwell said it would be “a disservice to women to apply the same figure.” Dr. Lorenzctti emphasized that the student’s minimum required contribution is only a small part of determining his ultimate award. He felt that the $100 difference was relatively small. However, Mr, DeWaal maintained that even though the $100 differential is small, it-is.unjustified' In.many cases, the $100 less that women are supposed to earn per summer is often made up in loans, scholarships, and other monetary awards, according to Mr. DeWaal. ‘The $100 does not make that much difference because full need is never met,” said Dr. Lorenzctti. It could make some difference for students in the Educational Opportunities Program, he admitted, whose loan may be a good chunk of their need. “CSS figures are really suggested figures,” Mr. Stillwell observed. ‘They simply represent the best estimate of costs; the whole thing has to be done on an estimated basis. It can’t be done in an exact dollars and cents way,” he added. �. ii A .V v * - '-*• 'it ■ ' I 'v'i/-, ’• * � , , Javits on public campaignfinancing .*• campaign spending now being proposed, he said. by Ellen Eckstein Spectrum Staff Writer trust. Public financing ‘essential’ There are presently two proposals for campaign financing, Mr. Javits explained; one is in the Senate Rules Committee, the other has been proposed by the President. The proposal in the Senate committee allows for a splitting of public and private financing. If a senator is privately able to raise $125,000 in funds, then that amount will be matched by public funds. There are including President Nixon who people oppose using the public treasury to Help, finance political campaigns. Mr. Javits replied: “An individual might oppose the building of a dam or a bridge, or assistance which might flow to the poor or the ill, but to this is the essence of our society govern by majority decisions through the Opening with a few remarks On Watergate, Senator Javits said: “It should have taught us a great deal about how campaigns are run and especially about campaign contributions.” He added that President Nixon’s aides “would do anything to get the expenditures in order to get Nixon.” The laundered money of Watergate has led to the reforms of “In the past two years, grim experience has compelled me to now feel that public financing is essential to help eliminate the grimy business of accumulating campaign funds,” Senator Javits declared. Mr. Javits concluded his brief speech by commenting that “this has not been an electric opening, but the subject does not “Meetings like this one are lots of fun, but they don’t reach 18 million people like radio and TV do,” said Jacob K.

New York, Second Class postage Buffalo, New York. Circulated to paid at 30,000 University at Buffalo faculty and staff. New State students, when tested on Friday, it took a distance of 20 feet to stop at a speed of 20 miles an hours, failing by only two feet to meet state standards. During the past few weeks, Bluebird buses operating for the University have been plagued with frequent breakdowns and scheduling problems which have dismayed students commuting between campuses. Following a collision two weeks ago of two public school buses in Hamburg, N.Y., the state began a concentrated effort to spot-check vehicles in the Buffalo area, a routine procedure following an accident. Both a Ridge Lea bus. and Bus 239, one of two 20-year-old buses in service on the Amherst-Main St. route and said to be in excellent shape were by a Bluebird dispatcher removed from service by DOT. One student laughed at what was termed ‘excellent shape’: “Everytime the driver shifts gears, it feels like the engine’s gonna fall out.” Roger Freiday, who took over University Busing on February 1, maintained that February’s record of 1% bus time lost due to breakdowns over 10,000 passenger miles travelled in that month was very good. However, he added; “Breakdowns seem to occur at critical times, like 8:30 in the morning when the buses are crowded with students going to class.” - — Complaints welcome Leigh Weber, chairman of the Amherst Busing Committee, blames most of the problems on the drivers, the equipment and a breakdown in communications between the bus company and its employees. University busing, Mr. Weber said, has tried hard to meet student demands, while working within their limited budget. He credits Mr. Freiday with making sincere efforts to device workable schedules and being responsive to student needs. These efforts can be nullified, however, Mr. Weber explained, when the busing office specifies a bus with a certain capacity for one route, and gets a smaller one; or when a driver doesn’t follow the time schedule. Asked to comment on what one student once facetiously referred to as ‘the Bluebird of Happiness,’ Mr. Freiday said he would need more time to continue his extensive investigation of bus service and make subsequent recommendations. Since he began running busing operations, Mr. Freiday has personally made over 200 observations of the service. Students having information to report about bus mishaps should not hesitate to call Mr. Freiday “with just two pieces of information, bus number and time.” Bluebird President Maniano said that there was absolutely no truth to the rumor that his company was given until March 15 to get its equipment in shape or lose its contract. He said he is “trying to serve the University in the best way possible,” adding that by June 1974 three new transit-type buses will be delivered for University service. Bluebird’s contract with the University runs until June 1975. Meanwhile, Lloyd Simpson is on suspension, pending hearings into the charges made against him. He continues to criticize his employer for “not giving a damn about the students” and for running poorly-equipped buses in which, he says, “they wouldn’t let animals be shipped Wednesday, 13 March 1974 . The Spectrum Page three . �Streaking threatens image: another student ‘phase r by Marc Gordon not as a Reluctantly, I take up streaking pasttime, but as a subject of discussion. Recultantly because, in and of itself, streaking does not merit one-tenth of .the attention it has already received. I find it harmless, pointless, and a little insipid; but 1 find it, nevertheless, wherever 1 look: in Time Magazine, in the Buffalo Evening News, on the Ron Hunter Report. As streaking forced itself on my attention from every side, 1 realized that 1 could no longer avoid discussing it when five streakers ran past me Friday night in Norton Hall. In case you have not looked into any periodicals or out of any windows recently, streaking is a form a person runs from point of flitting nudity of undress. Although the A to point B in a state whole point of streaking is to be seen, or at least to run the ‘risk’ of being seen (in the case of relatively timid streakers, who run thinly populated courses), it is quite a different phenomenon from old-fashioned exhibitionism. With the doodle-dashers, who spring from the bushes to open their raincoats, the whole focus of attention is on the genitals, with the idea of presenting them to a select audience. It is a hobby exclusively associated with male perverts. Streaking, on the other hand, seems to be a more universal phenomemnon. It is being billed as the new campus fad; all over the country typical normal college students of both sexes are taking off their clothes and putting on their Keds. Streakers are not disgusting perverts who wisk to confront a stranger with their sexuality, they’re just kids, like me and you, out to have a good time by doing something naughty. We must also distinguish streaking from another of its cousins casual nudism. Nudism has generally been associated not with perverts but with weirdos; nonetheless, it seems like a perfectly reasonable idea to me. It represents a much healthier attitude towards the human body then the titillation and ■ - — Photos by mcniece and Allan Page four . The Spectrum Wednesday, ,13 . IVJarch 1974 taboo approach of streaking does. I assume that streaking would have no appeal for the casual nudist; he would not be in such a hurry. One thing puzzles me about streaking. Behind every previous fad I could detect a vested interest which stood to profit from it. The plastics industry had a stake in Rat-finks and hula-hoops. The hatcheries and pet stores profited from the goldfish-swallowing fad. Phonebooth-stuffing, no doubt, was good publicity for Ma Bell. But what vested interest stands to gain from an interest in divestment, in the form of streaking? The striking Farah slacks workers, perhaps. As I pointed out earlier, the significance «f streaking lies not in the activity itself, but in the publicity it has received. Streaking does not represent any revolution in sexual or cultural mores. If anything, it serves to reinforce the attitude that nudity is a no-no. But streaking is kinky enough to make good copy, and the news media are full of it. Bad enough that 1 was unable to escape it; but what really worries me is that nobody in America will be able to escape it. Our public image as college students is at stake. My concern is not that the rank-and-file of middle America might find streaking shocking and outrageous, or might decide that college students are a bunch of filthy perverts. Quite the contrary, I am afraid they will find it reassuring; “Now that college students have passed through their rioting phase, they are settling back and directing their energies once more into harmless pranks like streaking.” 1 agree that rioting was a misdirection of energy, a case of not knowing who one’s real enemies are, but the energy involved was essentially political in its character. Streaking is not merely a more innocuous manifestation of that same energy; it is a separate, apolitical phenomenon. As long as the rest of America is able to convince itself that rioting was just good clean fun that got out of hand, we, as college students, are in danger of not being taken seriously. » �wanted to meet girls * “I just did it on the spur of the moment,” declared Harry Downey, a pre-law sophomore who streaked past over a thousand people in front that’s him of Goodyear Hall Monday naked as a jaybird (see photo without the vest). “I’ve been doing this sort of thing for awhile,” he admitted. “I used to do it in high school only we called it mooning then.” Mooning, the favorite exhibitionist’s pasttime before streaking became popular, is the art of ungraciously bearing the rear end to any number of shocked onlookers. “I ran through the aisles mooning in high school Assembly, wavinmy underwear,” Mr. Downey told The Spectrum after his streak. Although that episode earned him a suspension, Mr. Downey continued his pasttime. “This school’s so boring 1 wanted to liven things up you know, theshock value,” he said. He admitted he had another, more selfish reason for his noontime streak past Goodyear: “1 wanted to 1 figured this would get me some attention. Everyone meet some girls I’m the guy who stole the pizza last week while knows me now streaking. Good pizza, too.” The two other streakers who accompanied Mr. Downey were strangers until they came up to him at Goodyear basketball courts and joined him in getting undressed. What, then, did the nude trio say to each other after the triumphant streak which drew a bigger crowd than College rallies, political speakers and intramural football? “We just said 'Good streak’, he revealed. “That’s what streakers always say after a streak.” — - — — - — ” Wednesd'aV', 15 Mcki'efi 1974 .

For about the last three yean, public radio station WBFO (88.7 FM) has been going out of its way to broadcast such performers as Ed O'Reilly, Tony and John and Leon Redbone. They've got tapes made at the Buffalo folk festivals, the Mariposa festivals in Toronto, the U.B. coffeehouse series and tapes made in the WBFO studios. All of this is nice, but what about the masses who want to hear twenty-minute Greatful Dead cuts? Is any station in town still providing this service? How hip is 'BFO? The station's preoccupation with the seemingly esoteric has been questioned, at times. Recently,, none other than Bob Dylan gave WBFO a reason to say, "See, I told you so!" In an interview with Rolling Stone Magazine (Feb. 14. 1974), Dylan said he'd want Redbone if his Ashes and Sand record label were a reality. "Leon interests me. I've heard he's anywhere from 25 to 60. I've been this close and I can't tell. But you gotta see him." For the benefit of both the recently curious and the died-in-the-wool Leon Redbone fans, WBFO will, broadcast about three hours of those "esoteric Redbone tapes."

Under the present system, certain students’ full tuition bill is paid for by the state. $650 is given to eligible freshmen and sophomores, while juniors and seniors receive $800. According to TAP guidelines, these same students would be awarded approximately $510 and $460 respectively. In other words, an upper division student who now has his entire tuition waived would pay $340. “Even for students without a brother or Private school representatives were equally adamant in their support for the Tuition Assistance Program. Cornell University President Dale R. Corson said there must be a “diversity of choice” for students wishing to attend college. “The TAP proposal would provide this by making it less expensive for a student to attend a private school,” he said. Another proposal yet to be submitted, the Stafford-Anderson Plan, “promises to be the most comprehensive financial aid program thus far,” contended Ms. Ranagan. One of its major goals is to unite all the state financial aid programs onto one application and to coordinate this with federal financial aid programs. Status change is possible for Campus Security If by Louis Gerzofsky Spectrum Staff Writer Wearing brown blazers, they patrol the dormitories and streets of the University. Officially, they have the power to make arrests and issue summons, but they don’t carry guns. Campus Security officers have almost all the powers of the Buffalo City Police, yet in the eyes of the state, they don’t carry the official designation of police officers. Student Association (SA) president Jon Dandes has that the status of proposed Campus Security be changed from “peace officers” to “police security.” This change would result in full recognition from other police organizations, a more defined statement of the Campus Security role, and an increase in employee benefits. According to one security officer, only the state police force acknowledges them as thp state legislature defined Campus Security’s role officially as police officers instead of as a security force, certain problems might be cleared up.

When security officers brought criminals to court, “their status was inevitably questioned,” said Mr. Griffin. The average age of security officers is 32 years. More than half the security officers are under 30. Although two years of college education is required, twice as many officers have four years of college as have the minimally two required years. These youthful officers do not have on-the-job disability or death benefits, and their peak salary is under $ 10,500 a year. ‘Stepping Stone’ One officer asked how he was supposed to support a wife and family with such a salary. His partner sees this job as a “stepping stone till something better comes along.” Both officers, however, stated they would like to stay if the salary and benefits increased proportionately to their qualifications. the question of selective arming would remain open.

Mark Sick, the Scholastic Housing-Corporation director, is trying to alleviate the problem for many University students. The group’s main goals are to expand the amount of available quality housing at the lowest possible prices and provide an opportunity to experience alternative living styles. Many landlords .charge exhorbitant prices and _ • * insist on twelve-month instead of nine-month leases, thus making students pay rent for the three summer months they do not occupy the house, explained Mark Sick, a member of Scholastic Housing’s board of directors. Scholastic Housing will supply housing for married students and smaller double apartments mainly for graduate students, since these groups often require different living arrangements than undergraduates. Scholastic Housing is financed by Sub-Board and uses an income-offset, or break-even budget, making it possible to charge students much less than local landlords. Scholastic Housing has been allocated a total of approximately $75,000, $34,000 of which has already been spent on operational expenses and buying a co-op located at 252 Crescent Street. The co-op houses 20 people and students can commute to and from the Main Campus on a bus which runs every hour from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. “A long-range goal is to provide housing for students at the North Campus, since many do not like living in the dorms,” Mr. Sick said. “In September, if we can get an OK from the Administration, we hope to have about five houses available, on the first-come, first-served basis,” Mr. Sick noted. He said that in the long run, it is cheaper to buy a house rather than to rent it for a few years. Broken ordinances Investigating student housing by Ilene Dube Spectrum MARCH 12 13 ‘ UAB A COMEay of MUROERS CHARLES CHAPLIN Staff Writer There is a City of Buffalo ordinance on the books which states that “no more than two unrelated persons” live together in an apartment. If enforced to the letter, of course, this largely-ignored ordinance could be used to evict 5000 University off-campus. students living Students testified at the Buffalo Common Council for the repeal of the ordinance, but were stymied District when then-University Councilman Charles Volkert spoke out against them. Bill Price, who defeated Mr. Volkert and became Councilman last semester, has set up a committee of University students and investigate From an idcA suqqcsTEd by Orson H%Ues u/irh MartNa Rave WRITTEN, diRECTld ANd SCORcd by CIiarUs ChApliN an rbc turns presentation SAmORAI to people student housing community conditions. Since the committee was formed, it has not met, but Mr, Price has also organized a group of researchers under the coordination of Ira Chenkin, assistant director of the Legal Aid Clinic, to investigate the housing laws that are most frequently broken by landlords and students. This investigation will take the form of a door-to-door inspection of student-rented apartments to check for “third floor occupancy with no means of fire egress, and other situations where landlords are milking profits from students without putting anything in,” Mr. University at Stony Brook, and is now being appealed before the U.S, Supreme Court, with a decision expected in June. The Buffalo housing ordinance is clearly uncontitutional and discriminatory and should be repeated, declared Cliff Palefsy, SA Student Rights Coordinator. Mr. Price originally planned to try to change the law to read “no than more four unrelated persons,” but when asked Monday what he thought of the possibility of repealing these laws, he said there are other more important factors to be dealt with first. "Dealing with housing problems is like dealing with a chessboard,” Mr. Price said. “No matter how you act, other things will be influenced that may work against you. occupancies, Involving illegal there are two One, students can alternatives. stay where are, or two, students can go somewhere else and put pressure on new housing.” His proposed pattern of action is to first assemble data on selected then landlords, and follow through with inspection on these houses. “You cannot deal with the whole problem, it is too complex,” said Mr. Price, who favors a step-by-step approach. Target: Absentee landlords First, you must enforce the laws on violators both students — and landlords, although in most 300 replies, the average rent paid by students was about S60 to $65; landlords were found to be hesistant to respond to complaints unless consistently bothered; and no landlord ever kept any promise that wasn’t contained in the lease. Surprisingly, however, 90% of the student respondents said they would recommend their apartments to other students. “The other 10% is still too many,” said Mr. Price. “There is also the problem of future renters that we must consider, and non-student neighbor complaints is still another problem we must contend with.” Many common practices by landlords must be eliminated. He cited one landlord as showing several prospective customers the same apartment simultaneously, and then having them bid for the highest rent. “These are the things we must document and get facts on so we can stop them, Councilman Price asserted. This same landlord was cited as not reporting renovation on his houses so he could avoid assessment taxes and make a ” higher profit. A landlord who such illegal repairs is helping students at the same time as breaking the law, and it is this kind of practice that will make the student hesitant in helping to bring about housing reform. Mr. Price noted that “this is no longer 1968, and a great deal of student apathy prevails. It is only makes Chenkin explained. Heath, Englewood cited “We expect to find many of these run-down houses on Heath Street and Englewood Avenue,” said Mr. Chenkin. “There are laws that landlords have been neglecting for years, such as obtaining a permit for third floor committee’s occupancy.” The report will be sent to Councilman Price, who will present the evidence to the Buffalo Common Council for reform legislation. The problem is that many students are living under illegal conditions already ‘illegal’ - according to the “no more than two unrelated persons” ordinance and it would become difficult for these student ‘offenders’ to argue for housing reforms in council or court. While Mr. Price feels that housing ordinances should be uniformly enforced to prptect both students and the landlords, maximum occupancy ordinance which would evict thousands of students could create if enforced difficulties in pressing for housing reform. A similar zoning law has been found unconstitutional in a case - - — involving ipporte students at the State cases it will be the landlord, Mr. Price said. organize Second, you must through administrative law, some sort of housing rehabilitation. Present conditions encourage absentee landlords, and the committeee plans to crack down on such absentee owners. Mr. Palefsy’s committee has already compiled data on some facts about student housing. From occupants who can encourage maintenance.’ Mr. Price concluded: “This is only the beginning of what we are seeking to do, and it is a very complicated process that will require a lot of work, especially with student apathy. First we must build up a foundation. We aren’t even sure of the right questions to ask.” Wednesday, 13 March 1974 . The Spectrum Page seven . �Confidential files Closed credential records placement students protect ’ by Joseph P. Esposito Spectrum Staff Writer > Should students at this University maintain placement files to which they have no access because of a policy of confidentiality? Or should the confidentiality policy be dropped, with the potential risk of seriously harming the graduate school and employment opportunities of the students? These questions are part of the complex issue concerning the 4000 confidential credentials files which are established each year at the University Placement and Career Guidance Office (UPCG) in Hayes C. ■rfie confidential files consist of letters of recommendation which are submitted by professors, employers, and counselors to evaluate a student’s abilities and character. When applying to graduate or professional school, or for a job, the student then requests that the credentials file be sent to the appropriate schools or employers to fulfill the requirement for letters of recommendation. The Arthur Burke, Advisement Counselor for Graduate Schools. Should a student invest this time and money to send out letters about himself which he cannot see? Should he risk his future because his file contains one weak letter which dims the other strong recommendations? Or because one letter contains a casual and seemingly innocuous phrase such as “After recovering from his illness, his work improved greatly” which, contrary to the evaluator’s intent, may be damaging in the eyes of a grad school appraisal committee? Furthermore, since UPCG also has a counseling function, shouldn’t the advisors be able to fully use the contents of the evaluation in counseling the student? “Counseling is also a part of the teaching and professional function,” Mr. Burke said. Therefore, some feel the confidential appraisals might be better utilized if the student could constructively use the opinions expressed therein to gain a better perspective of him or herself. student has no access to the confidential file in University Placement; only members of the UPCG staff and those schools and companies to which the student requests the files be sent can see the contents of the file. According to Gene Martell, Director of UPCG, over 19,000 credential files were sent to graduate schools and employers last year. Also, in that same period, over 9100 letters of recommendation were received by University Placement. Mr. Martell sees UPCG’s credential file service as “a great convenience,” for it allows encapsulation of the student’s file and allows evaluations to be written only once, thus relieving professors of having to write a recommendation for the same student several times for different schools. Also, it gives the student a permanent (if the student so desires) single credentials file, which he can conveniently draw upon at any time in the future. However, the picture is clouded by the confidentiality dilemma. Student interest The argument for ending the policy of confidentiality is basically that the confidential file may not be in the student’s best interest. Students at this University who apply to graduate school apply, on the average, to nine schools, spending $176 in the process, explained - Florida files open There are a number of arguments which support maintaining the current closed status of the confidential files. One of the strongest is that graduate schools and employers overwhelmingly require confidential letters of recommendation. For example, in a survey done for the UPCG last semester, only one graduate department of the 12 polled at this University indicated that it did not require confidential recommendations. If these files were open to the, students, the applicants might be passed over by graduate schools and employers. In fact, this has been the case in Florida, Mr. Martell explained. It is the only state where files are open, and Florida students are experiencing great difficulties in obtaining admission to graduate schools outside of Florida. ' Both Mr. Martell and Mr. Burke speculated that an easing of the job and graduate school markets might potentially lead to a tendency to open the files. Lawsuit defeated A further argument for maintaining closed files comes from a recent national survey conducted by American School, College and University Staffing, which found that 70% of faculty members polled were opposed to completely dispensing with confidential files. Mr. Martell questioned who would write the recommendations if that 70% refused. The legality of the situation is also Page eight. The Spectrum Wednesday, 13 March 1974 . complex. Files in Admissions and Records are mandatory and, therefore, open to the student by law. However, the confidential credentials files are voluntary, though this draws arguments, and any policy is therefore legally acceptable. Lawsuits, notably one in Wisconsin, initiated to open credentials files have been dismissed because it is a “voluntary” file involving a contractual agreement with the school, an agreement the student enters by implication when establishing the file. At this University, students are informed when establishing the file that it is closed to them. There are occasional questions and complaints about this policy. New legislation needed Mr. Burke quest'.ons die validity of the voluntary claim. Since graduate schools and employers require recommendations, students must keep such files. And particularly at a school the professors balk at writing the size of this University numerous individual letters. UPCG provides a centralized service to eliminate this need. A federal decision, either judicial or legislative, might remedy the situation — - somewhat by placing all states on equal standing; if every university had open files, no school would be put at a competitive disadvantage with respect to graduate school opportunities. However, this solution doesn’t alter the fact that many professors want the evaluations they write to be kept confidential. Mr. Martell and UPCG have been working “to get the best system to serve the student and maintain confidentiality.” Both Mr. Martell and Mr. Burke feel that the ideal situation occurs when the evaluator discusses his appraisal with the student. “A considerable number of the student a copy of professors either the letter or go over it with the student. Discussion is the ultimate,” said Mr. Martell. In order to encourage such discussions and to inform or remind the evaluator of the confidentiality policy, the recommendation forms which will soon be used at this University, probably starting June 1, 1974, will carry the statement: “The candidate does not have access to this reference at the UPCG Office. The author has the sole prerogative to discuss the reference, with the candidate.” �Different approaches evident as Mattina, Elfvin vie for judgeship Editor’s note: The recent death of Judge John O. Henderson has left the federal judgeship of the Second Circuit, Western New York section, vacant. Local Republican leaders have been considering several qualified member j* of the legal profession as possible nominees for the post. The final decision will be made by New York’s two U.S. Senators and the President Will act on this recom mendation. John T. Elfvin, United States Attorney for the Western District of New York, is considered the front-runner for appointment to the federal Judgeship vacated by the death of Judge John O. Henderson. Mr. Elfvin seems eager to obtain the post. In discussing the problems of the judiciary, Mr. Elfvin emphasized the centralized nature of the Federal system and the relatively small amount of congestion within the federal courts. Because of this lack of congestion, he feels court reform really isn’t a burning issue in the federal cour s. Mr. Elfvin contends the best form of sentencing would be a more “regimented” system than is presently in operation. He suggested breaking down a particular crime into stages, and attaching suggested sentences to each stage. Such a system would tend to mete out justice in a manner that was fair to all, Mr. Elfvin believes. under consideration for the open judgeship in the Western District of New York of the Federal Court. Mr. Mattina talks proudly of his past accomplishments, his present involvement in the judicial system, and his plan for reforming the process of post-trial sentencing. The federal judgeship is another story, involving a new set of laws and a different set of involvements, which Mr. Mattina was reluctant to discuss. He seems content to let his achievements and his reform efforts speak for themselves. Enforce the law In considering pre-sentence reports, Mr. Elfvin is extremely interested in obtaining an overall picture of the defendant; one that includes his community relationships and his past record. Mr. Elfvin would more harshly punish someone who had a “bad” community record than someone who did Sentencing reforms “I have concentrated my efforts in the area of sentencing, primarily because it is one of the most neglected fields in law enforcement,” Judge Mattina said. After the jury has reached a verdict, the judge is given roughly three weeks in which to determine a sentence. The decision is based on a report submitted by the Probation Department, which outlines the character of the convicted and makes recommendations which affect the next few years of his life. The sentence handed down by the judge is the end result of this report. The sentencing program instituted by Judge Mattina is designed, to bring people from the community, the civil service and the colleges into the process. The courses taught at Buffalo State and in College Z draw people from the local community; “If, for example, the man who is found guilty lives on Buffalo’s West Side, we will go out and find people from that community, his peers, to participate in drawing up a recommendation,” explained Judge Mattina. “This attempt has been so successful that where once we sought the permission of the defense counsels to use it, they now come to us and request that it be used in the deliberations for their client,” Mr. Mattina not. explained. Mr. Elfvin asserted the judiciary should not try to effect change in any legislation, but should merely enforce it. Any major legal change should come directly from the legislature, he said, indicating his desire to remain aloof from the legislative process. He views his role as an enforcer of the laws, and will not make any judgements as to the validity of those laws. As a judge, he would be forced to make judgements on the innocence or guilt of a man. Once that judgement is made, he feels a more regimented set of sentences would facilitate a fairer judicial process. The major purpose in sentencing a man is deference, to prevent others from committing similar transgressions, Mr. Elfvin said * * * • Eight years on the County Court bench, teaching experience at Buffalo State College and in College Z, a recent appointment as lecturer in the National College of the State Judiciary, and years of applied research in the all this field of judicial sentencing responsibility describes the career of Judge Joseph S. Mattina, currently - John Elfvin New judicial image This new approach to an old problem has caused considerable reaction in the legal world. Judge Mattina has been lecturing over summers at various conferences and universities on the merits of his approach. As a fellow in the National College of the State Judiciary, he has been Introducing it to other members of the legal profession in the state. Mr. Mattina has steadfastly avoided an image of the “traditional elitist judge” in favor of a more outgoing demeanor. Contrary to some of the more established preconceptions about the judicial profession, Mr. Mattina has tried to remain in close touch with the people of the area. While there are those that feel this compromises judicial impartiality, Judge Mattina maintains that contact with people is essential: “It is important to know what the people feel, I cannot remove myself from them entirely,” he explained. Judge Mattina is an active force for legal reform, confident of the influence that the judiciary can wield in insuring that proper reforms are passed. ‘Seconds table’ now under consideration The Faculty-Student Association (FSA) will meet tomorrow to consider authorizing Food Service to reinstitute the seconds table in its dormitory board contract operations.

Success from the start In 1952 he made his initial television appearance on the BBC, and followed this during the next three years with tours of Europe and the rest of the world. His first tour of the U.S. occurred in 1955-56, close on the heels of his North American debut at the Stratford (Ontario) Festibal. This one-man phenomenon played to standing-room-only crowds in New York City, San Francisco, Chicago, Washington, and other large cities.

Mr. Nixon has thus vetoed a rise in the minimum wage and a program to provide schoolchildren with milk because they were "inflationary." Soaring corporate prices are not inflationary, of course, so he vetoed Congress' energy bill last week because it would have rolled back the price of domestic crude oil an "unfair” sacrifice to ask of the oil companies that contributed $5 million to M Mr. Nixon's 1972 re-election.

With stentorian voices they will clamor and cavort through Norton Union. In the cafeteria, people will push away their Manicotti and even the vendors of baubles, sitting lotus-like, will accede to the deafening onslaught of the Streakers. I envisage the emergence of a vast Streaker Streaker comics, “Honk if you love subculture Streakers” bumper stickers, Streaker cycling clubs, Streakers’ Health Food, etc., etc., etc. I only said all this to fend off accusations of humorlessness. Now I’d like to say what 1 really feel. Streaking is a reflection of the increasingly pervasive inanity of capitalist (I know this word is an anathema to The UB Spectrum and many but far from all students) American society. Now that the economic screws are being tightened (read, U.S. imperialism and monopoly and with a not captialism is singing its swan song so graceful exit) competition among students is stiffer, course content is more rigorous, and delayed ■gratification is the order of the day. Consequently students resort to more and more outlandish ways to give their excitement and passion. Streaking is an alienated expression of the need to feel that one is more than a superflous commodity, that one is “really real.” Streaking should be recognized for what it is: the clearest and most pristine manifestation yet, on this campus, of bourgeois decadence.

Vets Club At a recent rally held in the Fillmore Room by the Coalition one of the speakers who spoke on cutbacks in financial aid was a member of the Vets Club, Alec Abrams. During his speech he touched on financial problems of veterans returning to school. On completion of the speech he took questions from the audience. Two of the questioners made the implication that vets were receiving too much money. This has brewed a lot of bitterness from our members so we would like to dispel a few myths. The latest war was not a popular one. After World War II there were bands playing and flags waving when “our boys” came home from the fighting overseas. The Vietnam era veteran knows no such hurrahs. There have been no homecoming parades down Main Street and no tumultous newsreel scenes of troopships landing with thousands upon thousands of men. In fact, despite the ovation given for some 600 POW’s last February, over the last decade the public has barely noticed six million ex-soldiers as they have returned from duty in a constant, though all but imperceptible trickle. The vet returned to a crashing silence if he was lucky. More likely, he got the finger pointed at him as a tool in a rotten political war that everybody hates. Men arrived home, invisible and anonymous, often on a night flight from Vietnam. Always, they seemed to disappear before their existence could permeate the public consciousness. This is no accident. The country that wants so badly to forget the war, forgets its warriors as well. Very often, people in this country who aren’t actually involved in veteran’s affairs or who haven’t spoken with a vet about his benefits carry the misconception that vets are “living in the lap of’ luxury” and that they “have it made.” Actually, returning WW II vets who desired to continue their education did “have it made.” The post-World War II G.I. Bill paid the vet seventy-five dollars a month for subsistence, plus all tuition, books and fees at any public or private college or technical school. Tire vet had nine years in'which to use his maximum entitlement of 48 months. Today’s veteran, who served during or after the Vietnam War, receives a flat monthly allowance of two hundred and twenty dollars and no tuition payment. He has eight years in which to use his maximum entitlement of thirty-six months. To point up the dramatic disparities one must remember - - - - - spirit de serieux into your lives. Why have I bothered with them. Dave the Rave Decadent streaking To the Editor It saddens me to see a multitude of students gather and anxiously await the event of a streaking (a meager one at that) when these same individuals allow the fate of the colleges, the grading system, and other issues crucial to this University go unchallenged. Perhaps all the students of this University should take a few moments and re-evaluate priorities or else be prepared to settle for the decadence into which we are plunging. An Individual Who Is Not Willing To Settle inflation. The $75 a month living expense given to the WW II vet amounted to 35.4 per cent of monthly earnings for the average American worker in 1948 and when translated into 1973 terms was roughly equivalent to the $220 monthly stipend available to Vietnam veterans for all educational and living expenses. In an article published in the Buffalo Evening News entitled “U.S. dawdles on Aid for Vets’ Education,” David S. Broder writes, “Of all those victimized by the Nixon administration’s preoccupation with self-preservation and the Democratic Congress’ dawdling do-nothingness, the case of the Vietnam veterans may well be the most outrageous.” In fact, a smaller portion of the federal tax dollar is being spent on veterans’ benefits and services today than ten years ago despite the addition of six million veterans. It’s not our fault that at the time we were serving that war asn’t popular. We’re really sorry that it wasn’t magnificent and glorious and that God wasn’t on our side. Nobody is asking for parades, or medals, or welcomes to American Legion bingo games, or to get rich. We only want a fair shake. On our financial aid forms we must state the money we receive from the G.I. Bill. This is considered into our resources when it comes time ■ for the school to make financial awards and in the computation for eligibility for loans. It’s very disheartening for a man who has spent a number of years in the service to find out that his G.I. benefits can acutally limit or be duplicated by other financial avenues available to the general student population. We served for wages which were below the poverty set by the Department of Labor. (Now, of course, without the draft, the wages are quite high, to induce volunteers. But getting “volunteers” was easy then. You simply drafted them.) Every once in awhile we’re questioned, “Why’d you have to go in? I’m 18 and I’m not going.” For any man who was draft age in the middle and late sixties the question is ridiculous. Apparently many have forgotten or were too young to understand the situation. During the big Vietnam build-up everybody and his brother was being scooped up if they didn’t first join up, attend overflowing colleges, flee the country or go to jail. Things are much different now. We don’t really expect 18 year olds to understand and we don’t really care if they do. We just wish that they’d keep their fucking mouths shut on things they don’t understand. — Streak to nowhere To the Editor womb in which to hide from the social and political forces of the outside world.

Refering to Mr. Jacobson’s letter objecting to ads offered by the Military makes wild assumptions about the philosophy of the Armed Forces. He asserts “sole purpose” of the Military is to train all its members to “destroy human life.” When it comes to combat situations there is a need to know, self-defense for survival. The value of human life is precious and destroying it is senseless. In basic training, the knowledge to kill is acquired, but not the primary function. The soldier is sent then to advanced training, not solely in combat arms but, other areas. As medics (killers?) or various maintenance areas (killers?) and other non-combative jobs. Mr. Jacobson has the same potential to kill as any man. But to label persons of the military blanketly as destroyers of human life is a slap in the face for those who served. I am one angry vet who gets mad at all the shit military he may think again. Medics and doctors went to villages to help the people, not destroy them. Other men supported and built orphanages for disadvantaged children. Other men such as myself taught classes for young children in Catholic orphanages. Are these acts of destruction in a war-torn country? To brand all who serve or served as destroyers of human life is nonsense. There are meny vets on this campus, who have varied opinions and experiences. Yet I am sure that if you went to any one of them and called him a destroyer of human life, he’d ask you in astonishment, “What the hell are you talking about?” So, when you’re talking of trained destroyers of human life you are talking to me and all the vets. And a lot of us get fed up and angry at your misconceptions of us and the military. Give the people who read your ads at least the capacity of being mature enough to decide for themselves to people like Mr. Jacobson. We Vets did respond to them. Military or any other ad you run. - dealt out by our duty under much controversy during Vietnam, but we are human also. If this jerk ever saw some actions of the units in Vietnam set up by the In the March 6 issue of The Spectrum Howard , Chubinsky criticized Marc Jacobson for objecting to military advertising in The Spectrum. Mr. Chubinsky claimed that the U.S. military, in this case the Reserve Officers Training Corps (ROTC), has the “right to make their views known without discrimination or censorship.” And he calls for a continued “policy of printing ads for various controversial organizations.” I believe that most people are familiar with the “views” of the U.S. military, most exemplified by their tremendous destruction of life and property in Vietnam. The U.S. military’s ROTC program trains officers to help plan and order this destruction. Four years ago, this school had an Air Force ROTC program. How many of the officers trained here helped in the killing of people in Vietnam? How many from these ROTC programs helped in bombing Vietnam with anti-personal bombs, napalm, poisonous gases and chemicals, defoliants, or bombs disguised as children’s toys, set to go off when touched? And this isn’t an isolated example. Here in the U.S., the military has been used to gas, arrest, beat, and shoot anti-war demonstrators, civil rights organizers, and labor and trade union organizations, in their struggle for peace, equal rights, and a decent life. In other countries, the U.S. military has supported one reactionary government or movement after another, to suppress the basic democratic rights of the people there. In the early 1950’s, the U.S. military supported the repressive government in South Korea, against Regarding the letter to The Spectrum March 4, from Arthur Lalonde: Scholastic Housing Company does not in fact discriminate against married students. At present, the Corporation owns one building, 252 Cresent, which is run as a co-op, open to students regardless of division, sex, or martial status. Although the Cresent project is considered a success, the Board of Directors realizes this lifestyle may not appeal to all students and is currently searching for other smaller units, which would be , closer to campus. As the Corporation grows, students will have more facilities to choose from, time at present being the greatest factor. Eileen Schleelein Scholastic Housing Co. Inc. A voice from the past the democratic aspirations of the Korean people; in 1955 they supported the repressive regime in Laos; in 1961 they supported right-wing Cuban exiles in their attack on Cuba; in 1965 U.S, Marines went into the Dominican Republic to suppress a popular movement; from 1960 to 1973 the U.S. military inflicted tremendous damage in Indochina; and in September 1973, the U.S. military gave support to the Chilean fascists who plunged that country into a bloodbath. No, Mr. Chubinsky, a military organization with this kind of history has no right to advertise for the business of murder. When the right to live is violated, then the violators must be stopped. And this is done by denying them the opportunity to popularize their organization. Four years ago, students on this campus not only believed the military had no right to express its views, but believed they didn’t have the right to even be here. After referendums, countless demonstrations and confrontations, Air Force ROTC was forced off campus. After similar activities all over the country, a tremendous public anti-war sentiment was felt, which many of us feel helped bring an end to the war. The issue here is not the “right of free speech,” but in safeguarding the right to live, and for this reason the U.S. military has no right to advertise its business, in this paper or elsewhere. And I wonder, Mr. Chubinsky, if the ultra-right within the U.S. military successfully destroy the democratic rights of the American people, if you will still take satisfaction in having defended their “right” to advertise their business.

No discrimination Paul Krehbiel “The Administration has proved that it is utterly incapable of clearing out the corruption which has completely eroded it and re-establishing the confidence and faith of the people in the morality and honesty of their government employees. The investigations which have been conducted to date . . . have only scratched the surface. For every case which is exposed, there are ten which are successfully covered up and even then this Administration will go down in history as the ‘scandal-a-day Administration.’ “It is typical of the moral standards of the Administration that when they are caught red-handed with pay-off money in their bank accounts the best defense they can be given is that they won the money in a poker game, a crap game, or by hitting the daily double. “A new class of royalty has been created in the United States and its princes of privileges and payoffs included the racketeers who get concessions on their income tax cases, the insiders who get favorite treatment on government contracts, the influence peddlers with keys to the White House, the government employee who uses his position to feather his nest. The great tragedy, however, is not that corruption exists but that it is defended and condoned by the President and other high Administration officials. We have had corruption defended by those in high places. If they won’t recognize or admit that corruption exists, how can we expect them to clean it up?” Senator Richard Nixon in his denunciation of President Truman’s administration at the Hotel Statler in Boston, November 13, 1951 - �Ma Bell in Bu A TIPPY'S With country’s highest rates it pays oft to keep informed Due to another important episode of the streaking phenomena, a speech by George Levine of the American Telephone Consumers Council in Haas Lounge on Monday, was lightly attended. Buffalo has the distinction of having the highest flat rate service charge in the country, and Mr. Levine stressed the importance in educating the University community to A.T.&T. and its operations in this area. Flat rate telephone service in Buffalo costs $11.52, compared to $4.80 in San Francisco and $5.95 in Washington, D.C. Buffalo also has the only watchdog system in New York State: both city and county governments actively attend hearings on rate increases for the New York Telephone Company. The United Auto Workers supports the local American Telephone Consumers Council, which has represented the consumer in a number of suits against the rate hikes. Students arc the hardest hit by the continuing rate increases, Mr. Levine said, yet they’re apathetic when it comes to organizing any action against the unwarranted exploitation of the consumer by the New York Telephone Company. New York Telephone is owned by the A.T.&T. Corporation, which also owns 100% of Western Electric, the makers of communications equipment. Though the communications industry is a virtual monopoly in America, said Mr. Levine, he believes it can be fought successfully. There are many laws on the MEXICAN FOODS books for regulating public utilities which are seldom used or acknowledged by an apathetic or uninformed public. Flat rate in danger Costs of telephone service to dorm residents can be greatly reduced by substituting switchboards for the regular flatc rate phone service, Mr. Levine suggested. Costs for the switchboard service would be minimal: besides the price of installing an old telephone switchboard, phones serviced by the switchboard would only be charged $1.35 a month-. Along with the decreased phone rates students would also benefit from the jobs made available to students needed to operate the switchboard. After his speech, Mr. Levine asked for volunteers to join committees and organize efforts against the .proposed telephone rate hikes. The abolition of a flat monthly rate for service has also been proposed, to be replaced by a cost per minute rate which would reap even greater profits for the Phone Company. A handful of students signed for committees. “What is needed on this campus,” Mr. Levine declared, “is a watchdog committee to research possibilities for decreased rates for students and provide a viable pressure group for the students.” 60 Oz.

Following last year’s NCAA playoffs, the NCAA Baseball Rules Committee voted to adopt the use of the designated hitter in intercollegiate contests. In doing so, the NCAA has followed in the footsteps of a league that has seen declining attendance dictate a change that the American League thought would revive fan interest. The method behind this madness is difficult to comprehend. Since the NCAA is the governing body of national collegiate athletics, and not a big business, it cannot claim declining attendance as a motivation. After all, the NCAA has long refused to initiate the use of a shooting clock in basketball, the lack of same occasionally inspiring slowdown techniques, 20-17 scores, and sleeping spectators as a result. Any claim that this change would give more players the chance to participate is not justified. With the addition of the designated hitter, pinch hitters and relief pitchers who would normally enter a game are not used. They are replaced by a man whose function is that of a three or four-time pinch-hitter. Just how much the designated hitter considers himself to be in the game is another unanswered question. “I don’t like it,” one Bull told this columnist during a game last fall. “You sit around and talk for a few innings, go up and hit, and then sit around again. It’s not like you’re really in the game The American League’s argument that the* resulting offensive improvement will attract more fans is not a valid one. The use of the designated hitter eliminates much of the strategy that formerly captivated fans and managers alike. A manager would often have to make a difficult decision in the late innings of a game involving pinch-hitting for his hurler. Now, the DH “designates” the strategy, or, in the above case, the lack of strategy. Thus the term “designated baseball.” Perhaps the implementers of the DH will decide, in several years, that the designated hitter has not been effective. A four-man batting order and a separate “platoon” for defense could be utilized, thus destroying the sport of baseball as we know it. Foul lines could be eliminated, along with fences, to add offense to the game. Should these changes occur, the gans should go on strike.

Assemblyman Eve reacted angrily to Dr. Ketter’s February 14th letter, accusing the University President of “covering up the facts” by manipulating and distorting statistics. “Dr. Ketter doesn’t deserve to be President,” Mr. Eve declared, adding that he would oppose Dr. Ketter’s re-appointment. Mr. Eve then said he was planning to sue the University, and his February 27th letter to Dr. Ketter stated: “You have quoted a lot of statistics which appear to be impressive.

Dr. Kettcr explained that Learning Center personnel were eligible for tenure, but that EOC instructional staff were not eligible because of a New York State law and not a University decision. The Learning Center is a regular part of the University while the EOC is a post-high school, pre-University program which gives disadvantaged students college prep and trade prep courses. Political winds shifting? Dr. Ketter also wrote that he was “deeply puzzled and troubled by the sharp shift of position that seems to be reflected in your [Mr. Eve’s] public statements and in your letter of February 27th.” Stating that only a few short months ago, Mr. Eve had expressed strong support of the University’s minority program in urging that the Educational Opportunity Center at Buffalo be placed under UB’s jurisdiction, Dr. Ketter wrote that he was “at a loss” to account for Mr. Eve’s “about face.” Dr. Ketter then stated that while he has been “repiinded that this is 1974 and that the University makes a convenient target during an election year,” he refuses to believe that Mr. Eve would “use the affirmative action program for such a purpose.” Mr. Eve was unavailable for comment.

In addition, basic self-help skills are stressed: how to prepare a simple meal or make a bed. These children are also given “travel community and training exposure” in which they are taught skills such as use of public transportation, public pay phones, ordering in a restaurant, etc. The Cantalician Center is staffed by certified, or certifiable, individuals who are also capable of working with the trainable mentally retarded.

I may be incorrect in these allegations, but if so, only slightly. There are enough people interested in musical comedy to justify substantial SA funding. The two performances drew enormous audiences. Anything Goes with its cast and staff of over sixty is the largest production I can recall in my five years here. The Panic Theater seems to be the fastest-growing club on campus. Since I find it impossible to tay the kind friendly things I hoped to be able to say about Anything Goes, I would like to begin this review with the following conciliations, good-hearted compromises and friendly statements of fact. Following these conciliations, these g-hearted c’t and f t’t of f there will be a good deal of ugly fighting, no holds barred; and I advise the the callow, the faint-hearted and good-natured to stop reading. One; Musical comedy has the capacity to delight me. 1 am not so far-gone in my intellectual dream-world as to be unable to recognize the value of good-clean-fun, family entertainment, and tunes you can leave the theater humming. Along these lines, I am pleased that the Panic Theater exists, that they are reviving musical comedy on the campus (in the past they have performed Kismet, The Pajama Game, Guys and Dolls, etc.). I quite agree with them that the Theater Department is not always the place to go for fun-filled entertainment. Nor, actually, should it be. Please stop Now to my dirty work. I warn you, stop reading. This is unpleasant for me. Stop reading. I’ve met some of the people I’ll be criticizing. They are good people, I am not villainous. Bear that in mind. I find myself embarrassed to sit and watch people my own age behave idiotically. I do not like to laugh at physical imperfection. But when people who really shouldn’t are encouraged to tap dance in short ugly skirts and begin to sing (poorly) and act (abominably) and to otherwise parody a genre that, if anything at all, has set glamour and comedy, style and grace as its paragons; I am driven to Theater space Two; I think the Theater Department is being a little fussy in refusing these people permission to use the Harriman Library This is an elitism that I do not oppose, but considering that Harriman provides the only theater on this campus, I think that a certain generosity can be expected or even demanded. Three: Although the Fillmore Room is a step up from the Goodyear cafeteria, where this group has previously performed, it is both physically untenable and acoustically dismal for this kind of performance. I can do nothing but rail (and have done nothing but rail for the last five years) against a University that uses Chemistry lecture halls for its film programs and Millard Fillmore rooms for its theater productions, all the time promising a mythically beautiful Theater Complex on that Great New Campus in the Sky. I’ve heard some dirty rumors about that Theater Complex, by the way, which I’ve been asked to keep under my invisible hat. Technically, for all its multiple stages, the won’t be practical Complex But, shh, I promised. because Remember, though, you heard it here first. Four: Student Association should be ashamed of itself. The Panic Theater should be allotted a sizable budget. Musicals are expensive to produce, but they attract an audience. Performance rights and musical orchestrations are expensive, these costs are upped if admission is charged. The Panic Theater is a potentially profitable organization; I see no reason why these people should be forced to pay for their sets and costumes stage. .... wailing.

It was written in the thirties with a book by Howard Lindtay and Russell Crouse, Guy Bolton and P.G. Wodehouse. It was revived Off-Broadway in 1960 (before the nostalgia riot) and the producers, intelligently recognizing the dated quality of their material (this was before being dated was a thing to be sought ardently), threw out a good half of the original songs, replacing them with Cole Porter’s greatest hits. This revival then, as it stands, contains such standards as “Night and Day,” “You’re the Top,” “Blow Gabriel, Blow,” “Anything Goes,” “I Get a Kick Out of You,” and “Friendship.” Any cast that can sing should be able to make Anything Goes a tuneful hit. The croaking chorus gathered for Anything Goes couldn’t get through “Three Blind Mice” in a round, and so they’re thrown back on their own very limited devices. The band that has been assembled to back them up is brassy and loud (as it should, indeed be) but very little else. Obviously, what’s left is some stylish and stylized acting. But no, this merry bunch is not really an acting troupe. What they have left is enthusiasm and zest. And zest, let me tell you, is not fun for everyone. The plot is typical P.G. Wodehouse. Public Enemy Number Thirteen, Moonfact Martin, is on board a ship going from New York to London. He is insulted that he is only number thirteen and so he and his moll, Bonnie, intend to hit the top. Also on board is Hope Harcourt (the ingenue) who is unhappily engaged to Sir Evelyn Oakleigh, but who loves Billy Crocker. Billy, as luck would have it, is on board ship in the guise of Snake-eyes Johnson, Public Enemy Number one. Ex-evangelist and night club singer Reno Sweeny is on deck with her back-up vocal group of Angels. And so on. Everyone gets married in the end. The cast i would like to heave large bouldert at Robin Dicker who plays the ingenue, Hope Harcourt. Her facial vocabulary consists of a limitless series of disgusted smirks. When she is supposed to be happy, she manages to pout. When she is not acting, she stands about looking lumpish and nauseous. Well, it )s a ship. Dean Casakos is slightly better. He can’t sing either, but‘he manages somehow to escape looking embarrassed to be on stage. He plays Hope’s boyfriend. They are quite a pair. No. I will not go on in this manner. Sloppy one-liners are as easy to spot as bad actors. Two members of the cast deserve brief, uninspired praise. They are Marty Markowitz who is funny as Moonface Martin, Public Enemy Number Thirteen and Keith Parsky who plays the silly-ass Englishman, Evelyn Oakleigh. As a matter of act, Keith Parsky is quite funny, properly stylized for this kind of comedy. Wednesday,, 13 March and if he can play down a tendency to be overbearing, he may actually be an actor. At Reno Sweeny, the chanteute, Peggy Span it leggy and loud and finally very, very boring. Do you readen understand that tbete people embarrassed me? That I felt numbed and deadened and shocked by the cheapness, the vulgarity, the lack of talent in the proceedings? I know they worked hard. 1 really do. I congratulate Shelley Stangler, the choreographer, for teaching an entire cast to dance or tap-dance in six weeks. I appreciate her choreography, some of which could have been rather striking if it hadn’t been so ineptly executed. I even congratuate (much lest heartily) the director, Judy Weinberg, if only because the managed to hold such a large crowd together. A social reading Musical comedy, like it or not, is a glorification of a certain kind of American ideal, the ideals of beauty, blondenets, homogeneity; clean, open-faced men, and leggy, vampy ladies. Busby Berkely, when choosing a chorus line, wouldn’t stand for individually shaped women. The Rockettes are all exactly the same height. Their smiles are probably the same width. Musicals like Anything Goes called for certain types of glamour girls and handsome leading men. Only the comics are allowed to have oddly shaped bodies. These musicals, on stage and in the movies, reinforce the notion of specific, standardized beauty. In the fifties and sixties, a new breed of musical came about. Leu sassy and sophisticated to be sure, but more tolerant of what people are physically like. The big chorus line vanished. Different types of people were shown. Fiddler on the Roof say, does not call for glamour. Musicals like Westiide Story, Porgy and Bess and Fiorello paved a way for a leu Wasp-ish cast to the musical comedy entourage. Finally, blacks, Jews, and people with distinctive racial features, were allowed on the stage as people, not stylish and stylized things. Of course as the musicals grow more, shall I say, naturalistic, new problems enter. The idea of the song in a format that is not extremely stylized is un-natural, perhaps foolish. And to when a University group, especially an amateur group, gets together to perform a thirties’ musical like Anything Goes, one of two things happen. Either the play itself comet off as extremely stupid or trite, or the performers make fools of themselves. Clearly this is no university to cast about in for samples of WASP physical perfection. I feel sorry for the actors and actresses in Panic Theater’s Anything Goes who end up so shamefully humiliated by an American ideal that should have died years ago. 1974 Hie Spectrum Page seventeen . . �-««■ ‘mL.- ■M TO: *«.«** **• /■. stem tA/ Mhfli r FROM: The Pondes Administration The Truth RE: March 8,1974 We respectfully wish to inform you of what weVe been doing this past year. 24) Establishment of Bicycle Security Area.

Like all that danger tongue on “Pushin’ too Hard.” “My Fairy King” isn’t about fags..I don’t know what it’s about, and I don’t even care because it’s boring. The only interesting thing about it is the plaintive third RECORDS Queen (Elektra) At first 1 thought 1 was gonna be put off by yet mucous; cock-in-the-ass fish ’n chips bands from Merry Old. Instead, I stumbled away with a good dose of refreshing rock on. The reason: it might have sumthing to do with their initial lack of they weren’t pent up like most nihilistic impulse pooh-pooh rawkers, they were just plain old musical laxatives. These pretty little things possess an innocent kind of borderline sleazoid musical texture, something very rarely experienced in this dreary age of sheer noize blitz and orb melt. This they accomplish with a slick sense of changes, progressions, musical believability and overall no lush orchestrations here, just pure simplicity point-of-orgasm rock music. And in an era of continuous Drano consumption and musical suicide, all this comes on like a strong wiff of only city dwellers can understand gaggy ghetto garbage this kind of beauty. It’s nice to hear sum non-tinsel, non-fluff slash toons once in awhile, it keeps you honest. Listening to Queen is like mugging a Santa Claus on pure the comer at Xmas time just for kicks another of those irksome rectal - - — - Strawbs Hero and Heroine (A&M) The Strawbs’ latest rendering, Hero and Heroine is a A song cycle about the trials and despairs of a young man in England and his ultimate disillusionment, followed closely by his death. Sounds sort of familiar, doesn’t it? A neo-Peyton Place melodrama molded especially for ears that thrill to eloquent soap opera sensibilities. Any concept album invites this sort of wrath upon itself, because rock V roll is essentially illiterate; a conceptual approach presupposes a certain degree of lyrical adaptation, maturity and integration. It is precisely on this important factor that Hero and Heroine flounders and almost sinks under the weight of its own , concept album. pretentiousness. But before persuing this costly fault, it should be emphasized that Hero and Heroine does have its share of musical rewards. Dave Cousins, guiding light and spiritual advisor of the Strawbs, has scribed some pleasing melodies, which at their best charge spritely-moving ballads with fine dynamic development. The mellotron and synthesizer work by John Hawken is tasteful and fuses a romantic generational warble which gets it underway. Other than this it's pretty unemotional stonefaced. Gorgon rock. Side two has a little more flair and vivacity to it. As a metaphoric experience, it comes on like a giant mirror ball catching the moonlight as it sways nonchalantly from a beautful lady’s earlobe. Sparkle, sparkle, sparkle. “Liar” not to be confused with “Liar Liar” by the is the opening tune and begins a one-sided Castaways 'mini-concept piece. The mini-concept being a look into the different aspects of religious metal St. Chris rock ’n roll. It has a great cow-bell moment in the middle and a few adrenalin-pushing geetar breaks. In a flash of tabernacle tongue, “Jesus’.’ resurrects one mo’ time and saunters around the sound waves. While not exactly Lord Buckley’s da Nazz, this look into faith healing and the glory of da Lawd will have to do until somebody does the definitive holy rock ’n roller. (Black Sabbath and the Mormon Tabernacle Choir doing great who knows, maybe moments from the book of Genesis someday.) Again a whole lot of searing geetar zounds, truncated rhythm patterns and general all-round confusion. “Seven Seas of Rhye” would’ve been better had it been named “Seven Seas of Bourbon,” or better, “Seven Seas of Seven ’n Seven,” but that doesn’t really matter because it’s only a minute or so long. Would you like to be Queen for a day? Sure, why the hell not? -Joe Fernbacher — maliciousness. Better yet, it could be equated to the sense of sensual thrill experienced when you shove a lit firecracker down, a cat’s throat pop-blam gut splay in the air tee hee child joy yup yup. The Queen sound is a not-so-subtle, punch-in-the-crotch combination of Pink Fairy punknacity and Zepploid Chevy plant assembly-line riffing. Blam, blam, blam; real constant. A lot of twisting wrist action by guitarist Brian May: wrist action in the classic metallic sense like Sir Lord Baltimore or Stray, but nowhere near as primitively crunge encrusted. Queen alift got doze rock ’n roll hemorrhoids like dat fop Bowie and that zip Reed not yet, anyway. I like them mainly because they continuously remind me of the times when I stick my finger down my throat to initiate a purging puke-asm: a puke high being the only liberating experience left. As far as the vinyl goes, it’s occasionally great and often an exercise in rock ’n roll pugilism. “Great King Rat’* is a look into heavy metai George Segal consciousness on one hand, and on the other side of the schizoid it’s definitely all swords and sorcery musical Conan from start to finish. This cut has that compelling, yet inexplicable, sense of impending doom that makes all — - — - - * — edge to the sound. “Heroine’s Theme” contains this facet with its haunting, astral quality. Throughout the album, the music presents itself with a sensuous synthesis that dances with a fine understatement of magical madness. The Strawbs do, however, demonstrate on “Just Love,” an affinity with the raunchier aspects of pop. This cut illustrates a rocking anarchism that explodes beneath maniacal drumming and bass playing. Dave Lambert, lead guitarist, throttles the tune, along with a delightfully gutsy vocal and ferocious guitar chording. A sample of the lyrics underlines their endearing simplicity; It’s just love Don't try to understand it You can’t put your arms around it You might never love again It’s just love Don’t try to comprehend it If you’ve money, you’d best spend it You might never love again. - — — — the threading together of isolated song fragments with intelligence and cohesion appears to be beyond their artistic ken. The lyrical imagery employed is at best, shaky and at worst, ridiculously lame. Silver suns and midnight suns shining abound, and I was wondering when “Paper Sun” by Traffic would somehow find its way into the act. such as a and cliche-ridden lyrical vehicles suicidal wrist-slashing as the final statement of the hero’s are mere attempts at sensationalism, total alienation rather than probing beyond the superficial to the root causes of the hero’s doomed and tormented state. Additional problems accrue from the forced word-phrasing, which sacrifices insight and subtlety for rhyming sequences and a theme which has been beaten into the ground from overuse. Stale — — But if rock ‘n’ roll depended just on lyrical content, it would be in dire straits. So if you can suspend a discerning ear on the lyrics and drift away in the celestial musical matrix, this could be your album. -C.P. Farkas Yet even with these plus factors working for them.

Watching a concert from the very front row of Clark Gym is like watching a movie from the very front row it’s gotta appear larger than life.

In four months, I could play anywhere in Chicago. He started getting recording offers, met Kris Kristofferson, made his first LP and was off and running. One of the reasons for Prine’s popularity is his ability to write humorous songs. We were talking about his new album, and he said that lately he’s been moving in a new direction (structually, at papers Try and find Jesus on your own From least): working more on melodies, on where I was sitting, it seemed like some of ballads, trying to get away from the audience had come to do just that. verse-chorus and narratives.

By the way, be like. Naturally, I quickly found out that when John started singing “illegal Smile,” he was just a regular guy, somewhat a particularly audible devotee started scraggly-looking and soft-spoken, and yelling back and singing harmony in a totally unaffected. The history of his career is the kind of hoarse scream. After awhile, it got pretty story you would like to hear about every obnoxious. John handled it with ease, though.

Happy and Artie are extremely tight musically. It’s a shame that they seem to be having as much trouble getting some good breaks as Prine. A lot of people have been calling John Prine “the new Bob Dylan.” That phrase is a contradiction in itself, because any genius the ighty leete IS HERE! is necessarily unique unto itself. I asked him, rather rhetorically, if he had heard the comparison. He said, “Yeah, sometimes it gets to. be a drag,” and I don’t doubt it. Nevertheless, as I looked at the faces around me, the expressions I saw were very much like those at the Dylan/Band concert in Toronto. Which only means this: Prine is not the new Dylan, but he does have the same kind of magnetism and power over an audience. And as anyone who was at Clark Gym Saturday night can tell you, he certainly seems to have the stuff of which legends are made.

Despite occasional charges of reverse racial discrimination and a current Supreme Court trial on the issue and despite the fact that minority students admitted after separate consideration have lower “numbers” than white students accepted admissions officials insist that the minority students they admit to the Law School and Medical School are as qualified as accepted whites to graduate and become professionals. “If we relied on nothing more than college grade-point averages and LSAT scores in our minority admissions procedures, we would have few, if any, minority students in our school,” explained William Greiner, associate Provost of the State University of Buffalo Law School. “We would be excluding from law school and from the legal profession minority students who are qualified to be good law students and good lawyers,” Dr. Greiner said. Therefore, it is necessary “to resort to other ways of measuring accurately” the ability of minority students “to perform in a predominantly white, high-quality law school,” he believes. — — — - Considered separately The 3000 students who apply to Buffalo Law School every year are screened in three categories. Some students are accepted or rejected on the basis of their “numbers” in the first grade-point averages and law board scores go-through, while most are referred to a second category in which other criteria besides numbers are scrutinized. Students who indicate on their application that they are a minority group member are considered as a separate group “on a set of variables related to undergraduate academic performance,” explained Dannye Holley, chairman of the Law School’s Minority Admissions Committee. Of the 322 students admitted to Buffalo Law School in September 1973, 38 were minority students. This compares to the 12 minority students admitted in 1969; 35 in 1971; and 24 in 1972. “We cannot determine the minority students qualified for law school solely by the criteria of grade-point average and LSAT scores,” Dr. Holley explained. He noted that the minority applicant’s undergraduate academic record is a “much fairer indication” than LSAT scores, and conceded that standardized tests like the LSAT are “culturally biased” against minorities. As a result, minority admissions officials strongly consider “the undergraduate’s academic progress from the first and second years to the third and fourth years, letters of recommendation, job — — ‘Don’t have the numbers' “We feel that the minority students we admit are qualified to graduate law school and go on to make a meaningful contribution to the bar,” declared Dr. Holley. Minority applicants “don’t have the pure numbers to get admitted through the numbers program,” conceded Dr. Greiner, but they might be admitted through the second category in which additional factors are considered. The Law School would like to weigh personal factors more heavily for all its applicants, but must use numbers in the first go-through as an “administrative expedient” because “we can’t look in detail at 3000 applicants,” Dr. Greiner said. The Law School’s separate consideration of minority students, Dr. Holley stressed, “is not a quota system.” He explained: “Quota implies either a minimum or a limit on the number of blacks, Chicanos, and Native Americans that can be admitted to a separate program. Our system is based upon trying to obtain qualified applicants, minority say, 35 and non-minority. We set an informal number as the number of slots that could be expected to be filled by minority students. This doesn’t mean the Minority Admissions Committee must bring forward 35 names. It hasn’t worked that way. There may be a year without X number of minority applicants accepted,” Dr. Holley — — explained. Less whites being taken Those with numbers over a 3.0 and 625 LSAT score are usually admitted in the first round, while those with less than a 2.5 and 550 LSAT score are automatically rejected. Those in between are considered again in the second category for alternative qualifications; the only difference between that category and the separate minority category, Dr. Holley emphasized, was that the Minority Admissions Committee is able to give more attention to the smaller number of minority applicants. “Because we have an affirmative action program for minority students, we probably end up taking less non-minority students than we ordinarily would,” admitted Dr. Holley. The Supreme Court is now hearing the case of Marco DeFunis, who sued the University of Washington Law School, which rejected him, claiming that his marks and law boards were higher than 37 minority applicants who were admitted in 1971, the year he was rejected. Mr. DeFunis is charging that he is the victim of reverse racial discrimination [see story, page 6). Since the $ State University of Buffalo Law School separately considers minority applicants, and since many minority students admitted have lower “numbers” than whites who are accepted, couldn’t a white student who was rejected here make the same claim of reverse discrimination? “The charge of reverse racial discrimination is only valid if the white student making the charge has some way of showing that the accepted minority students were less qualified than he was,” argued Dr, Holley. “The minority students we accept are not less qualified to finish law school than the non-minority students we accept.” Conceding that many applicants rejected by the Law School are also qualified to do the work and graduate, Dr. Holley asked: “What do you do when choosing between X number of qualified people, when you only have enough spaces for one-tenth of them? We admit some by the numbers, but we also weigh other factors.” If a rejected white student sued Buffalo Law School for its minority admissions policy, Dr. Holley believes: “Yes, we could defend it. We think we have a reasonable basis for admitting the minority students we accept. The problem is justifying it why a committee member rated a letter of recommendation high or low cannot be made objective,” Dr. Holley said. “The law requires reasonability. In terms of discretionary standards, the law asks: Do you have a reasonable set of procedures and criteria? I believe we do.” The University of Washington Law School, being sued by Mr. DeFunis, “did not attempt to quantify other academic factors for minority students,” Dr. Holley commented, unlike Buffalo. “We don’t say, we’ll admit minority students with lower numbers due to race. When we admit minority students with lower numbers, we require additional academic justification. We ask, what other factors lead us to believe that he will succeed in law school?” — Big difference on LSAT A Supreme Court decision against Washington Law School, said Dr. Holley, would probably have an impact on law school admissions procedures across the country, even if the Washington circumstances were not applicable to each school’s local situation. What if Buffalo Law School were ordered or pressured into changing its minority admissions procedure? “If we dropped minority admissions as a special category, minorities could get in under the Special Admissions category,” Dr. Holley said, the only difference between the two being that minorities presently.get more scrutiny as a smaller, separate group. Dr. Holley conceded that there is a “substantial difference” between minority and non-minority LSAT scores with admitted whites averaging over 600 but minority students accepted scoring in the 430-450 range but feels “there is cultural bias involved” in standardized tests such as the LSAT. However, there is no substantial difference between the groups in grade-point average, he maintained, with whites averaging about 3.0 and minority students about 2.86. Also, the minority student with an LSAT score of SSO-plus will have no trouble in law school, whereas the same is not true of whites. The dropout rate is “negligible” for both groups. — — The question that arises, and which will certainly be —continued on page 7— �truetale ofstreaking through the night A As much as I am embarrassed to take off my shoes in the company of people, I decided to participate in the craze that is currently sweeping our nation’s campuses: streaking, or the Oh! Calcutta syndrome. I certainly had no reason to streak; unlike other things at this University, there was no peer pressure involved. As a matter of fact, no one even bothered to offer me money or dope or a free drink at Happy Hour. The nerve of those indignant dogs! Everyone wants something for nothing. So 1 gave them nothing for nothing. But back to the story. While the world watched from the Goodyear fourth floor lounge, their noses pressed against the window so hard that they could touch the tips of their nostils with their tongue, fellow cretin Paul McS. and 1 decided to pull a streak right under their very noses (which, by this time, became' permanent fixtures on the window.) 1 am sure if 1 spent another tenth of a second thinking about it, I would have my mother and her words that have remained with me until this day; “Always dress warmly or you’ll send me to an early grave!” Ah, but what the hell. By this time, Paul was giggling furiously; the sight of his own body made him hysterical. He had a bigger laugh when I took the towel from my waist. Our rendezvous with perversity had arrived! remembered Howling obscenely, we streaked past our fourth floor prey with the greatest of ease. They were caught to much by surprise that they were only able to identify us from our waist down. Throwing on our ceremonial robes, we returned to a hero’s welcome and cries of “You’re exactly as I pictured you!" Well, I guess for the most part, the mystery is over. 8-by-10 glossies will be available on request. Don’t come all at once, O.K.? -Sparky Alzamora Bare-ass streakers zip by crowds at Buff State by Richard Lippman Spectrum Staff Writer What topic is on everybody’s lips today? Watergate? The energy crisis? The Middle East? Guess again. It’s a phenomenon occuring all over the country called “streaking.” In case you haven’t heard by now, streaking is the making of blitzkrieg. runs through public r'ses- «i*Tfre nude. appearing both announced and unannounced across the country, dashing madly from one point to another, much to the amusement of onlookers. Streaking, basically a warm weather occurance, has found its way to Buffalo despite near-freezing temperatures. At Buffalo State College last Friday, a large, publicized streak was held at high noon. Crowds began to gather in Scajaquada lounge, the starting point of the festivities, and the soon-to-be streakers stripped down to underwear or swim suits. At five minutes to twelve, the streakers went to the windows of the lounge, turned around, and mooned the anxious crowd waiting outdoors. Five minutes later, 45 streakers stripped off the rest of their clothes, danced around in a circle and yelled, “We don’t fuck around.” The streakers then headed for the doors as the crowd parted to let them through. Outside, they were greeted by a turnout of three to four thousand people. Females, too The streakers (39 males, 6 females) raced up to the Student Union and back to the starting point again. Clad only in sneakers, they braved 40-degree temperatures during their eight-minute run [see photos]. When it was over, they all slipped back into their clothes and congratulated each other. All of them said they enjoyed it and one streaker remarked he “enjoyed watching f<ople getting turned on like that.” One of the females who streaked yelled out ‘•Women Power,” and said later that she “did it for fun. Females might as well show their bodies too,” she remarked. When asked what she had to say about the lack of coed streaking at UB, she called the females here “finks.” Another female streaker said that “every generation of college students has had something to do, goldfish swallowing, mooning and so on. This was my chance to do something, and I had one hell of a time. I feel like a professional now. I’m going to try to make it to every streak.” One fellow streaker remarked that “it would have been much better if all the spectators had joined in.” Twice as much to hide One female streaker who had tried a ‘Lady Godiva” on a bicycle ended up getting stuck in the mud and left behind in the pack. ‘The next time we’ll all use bicycles,” she said. She also remarked that “we need more girls; the guys want them and the girls want them too. It’s easy once you get started. It’s also a good way to defeat apathy.” Indeed it is: approximately half of the undergraduate population The Spectrum is published three times a week, on Monday, Wednesday and Friday, during the regular academic year; and once a week, on Friday, during the summer months; by The Spectrum Student Periodical, Inc., H.

He is expected to answer questions at tomorrow’s Student Association meeting, however. According to a spokesman from the Colleges, the meeting was scheduled “to give Dr. Ketter a chance to publicly not do something,” and in his view, Dr. Ketter, by his absence, did just that. Fifty or 60 people gathered in Haas Lounge for the 4 p.m. Thursday meeting, only to be told about a half-hour later that the University President would not appear. A delegation from the coalition’s last rally met with Dr. Ketter on February 14, at which time he agreed to a meeting. They attempted to work out thf details with Richard Siggelkow, vice-president for Student Affairs, who explained that three criteria would have to be met before any I r a MARCH 12-13 meeting could take place. The first dealt with time, and 4 p.m. Thursday was agreed upon after the coalition was told that Dr. Ketter’s tight schedule precluded any other time. The second requirement was that a list of written questions had to be submitted in advance; the coalition agreed to this, also. SA the proper channel But the Administration’s third demand was the direct involvement of Student Association, since the administration’s view is that SA is the proper channel through which student demands should be voiced. Dr. Siggelkow explained. SA’s involvement was to take the form of a chairperson from student government, but the coalition, which insisted on naming its own chairperson, refused this demand. Following these developments, SA President Jon Dandes wrote to Dr. Ketter and suggested that he only meet with the coalition through the proper channel, rrrr^“o°„“ questions Coalition discusses alternatives Those who attended the meeting discussed alternative actions which might be taken. Coalition members expressed the belief that Dr. Ketter would avoid any action until after the spring recess in the hope that the ensuing time lapse would weaken their movement. The coalition was formed to defend the Colleges after the Faculty-Senate passed the Reichert Prospectus, but has broadened its student base and now includes demands that range beyond the Colleges to financial cutbacks in many areas on campus. Many coalition members called for mass strikes or demonstrations at Thursday’s meeting, with some references to the 1970 disorders on this campus. One militant spokesman suggested a mass demonstration outside Hayes Hall, but Black Student Union President Larry Williams expressed the hope that by working within the system, they might be able to accomplish their 'goals with the aid of those {sympathetic to their cause, such as Buffalo Assemblyman Arthur Eve. Broad range of demands The coalition’s demands include the re-opening of the student dental clinic which will be closed this spring, expanded day care facilities to help the 100 community people who have been on a day care waiting list for three years, and restoration of full tuition waivers, which have been cut back by Albany from $15 million to $8 million. The coalition is also demanding that an increased budget be made available to the Colleges to purchase released time for faculty members from their regular departments and to hire coordinators. The Reichert Prospectus, the passage of which launched the coalition, demands substantial faculty involvement in the Colleges before they can become chartered, even though no additional funds are made available to the Colleges to pay faulty. The coalition also questions why the Balck Studies Program and the Educational Opportunity Program for disadvantaged students have both been without directors for some time. They further demand that students be given some input into the University’s allocation of funds. ~==UUAB== A COMEay of MURaERS CHARLES CHAPLIN Acupuncture: get the point? collection of empirical rules of thumb.

It was with visions of George Plimpton and a new book to be called Paper Pincushion that 1 took this assignment to be an acupuncute demonstration volunteer and write up (or write down, no one’s ever explained the distinction) the experience. Acupuncture specialist C.Y. Ting made a return appearance at Clark Hall Thursday night (he had visited this Univesrity last year) with a presentation and demonstration of the Chinese medical art of acupuncture. As everyone now knows, acupuncture is the art of sticking pins in patients at specific locations to cure a variety of ills. Dr. Ting wasn’t there to cure anyone, to the disappointment of several people in wheelchairs and on crutches. The real tragedy of the interest in acupuncture is that many have come to regard it as the latest substitute for faith healing, an attitude especially the believers. that hurts many people In most states in this country, acupuncture therapy is allowed only if the patient is referred to an acupuncturist by a doctor or if the medical profession has given up entriely. So Dr. Ting had to turn away several people interstcd in treatment. Dr. Ting’s presentation involved nothing of what we in the West call “Science.” To those at all familiar with the history of science, ■ it was reminiscent of the period before the scientific revolution of the late Renaissance and onward when much scientific theory, particularly in medicine, involved explaining something by making an analogy with something else. To Western minds, then, it doesn’t mean much to say that the heart is related to the tongue, or to talk about fire, earth, metal, water and wood (like Empedociles’ four “elements,” earth, air, fire and water). If acupuncture is not a scientifically coherent theory, though, Dr. Ting’s presentation make it clear that it has a highly developed and articulated - pp count. Acupuncture is an old art. Archeologists have found a stone acupuncture needle estimate to be 5,000 years old. Until recently, the needles were made of gold or silver but they had the unfortunate habit of breaking and leaving the patient with half a needle inside. Modern technology has improved the state of the art by providing stainless steel needles. All of this was fascinating enough, but what people came to see was Dr. Ting sticking needles into his victims make that volunteers. One of the most pointed lessons of the demonstration was the near-universal fear of needles. Numerous spectators asked me how I could volunteer to be stuck. The temptation was strong to come up with atrocious puns like: “1 was on pins and needles.” Going up to the platform, I came up with an insult so apt it must have been thought of before: “He’s the type of guy who’d do acupuncture with barbed needles.” — Getting needled I sat in the chair with every eye in the place on me and set my arm on the pillow. Dr. Ting opened up an antiseptic foil packet and drew out a needle a thin, flexible thing about three inches long, half-covered by some cloth to provide a sure gnp. Feeling around on my hand. Dr. Ting selected the point of penetration. He held the needle between his thumb and forefinger. I thought of tetanus shots. I hate tetanus shots. This was not at all like a tetanus shot. I felt a mild pinprick as the needle broke the skin. Wiggling the needle deftly, Dr. Ting pushed it deeper and deeper into my hand without causing the slightest sensation. He held my hand up in triumph showing a hand with a needle embedded an inch deep into it and offering it up, unconscious of the rest of the body attached, to the spectators and cameras. Then he drew it out. No, there was no pain, no blood. No, 1 don’t feel any different. And no, the reddish mark on my left hand is a birthmark, not the spot where the needle went in.

With the recent conversion of Great Britain and Japan to metrics, the U.S. is the , only industrialized nation remaining on the traditional according to system based Saxon folklore on the length of the king’s foot. The metric system was created in 1790 when the French National Academy ordered the Academy of Sciences to establish “an invariable standard for all the measures and all the weights.” The Academy derived all the measures of length, weight and volume from the same single measurement, a pre-determined portion (Tf the earth’s circumference. Since it was derived from a single unit, the system is coherent. That is, the measures are all related to each other. The U.S. system, however, is not coherent. We divide inches by 12 to get feet and multiply pounds by 16 to get ounces, instead of dividing or multiplying all measurements by 10. — - Urging approval At a recent conference on metrics at the University of Southern Mississippi, a resolution was passed by the 450 educators, businessmen, and publisher of metric materials from 39 states and five foreign countries, urging Congress to approve the under now legislation consideration calling for a 10 year gradual voluntary changeover to the metric system. “The change is going on, and it is going to accelerate regardless of legislation,” commented Louis Barbrow of the Bureau of Standards. inevitable change to The metrics is reflected in the area industries’ plans.

Ms. Murray, Supervisor of Mathematics for Buffalo public schools, said workshops were already set up to instruct teachers in metrics, so they in turn may teach it to their pupils. “They have to learn it before they can start teaching it,” she said. Some children in the early grades are already learning the new system. Students in grades 7 through 12 have been learning metrics through their science courses for some time, she reported. However, as of yet, the State University at Buffalo has no course on metrics in the math department and no plans for instituting one in the near future. Administrative problems Those who failed to receive their SSI checks have come close to starving, Mr,. Williams indicated. Requests for food have been made by the United Council of Churches and there has been “wonderful participation,” Mr. Williams said. Donations consist mainly of bread and vegetable products, although canned meats are occasionally contributed. Vincent Vizzi, field representative of Social Security, asked the small gathering to “look at SSI as a package.” This program is not affiliated with Social Security, but rather is made out of general tax revenues. “The impact of SSI has put a greater burden on us” Mr. Vizzi explained, adding that the present situation was “due to conversion problems.” Those who did not Music recitals Joanne Castellani will offer a classical guitar recital Saturday, March 16, at 8:00 pm in Baird Recital Hall at the State University of New York at Buffalo.

Mr. Vizzi admitted that his office was having ‘administrative problems” and that all incorrect information transferred to Social Security was being “straigthened out.” In order to certify everyone in the SSI program, some cursory investigation has to be done. Mr. Vizzi said that a Federal investigative unit would prosecute all federal fraud perpetrated by those taking undue advantage of thee SSI program. “The SSI is not a give-away program, although its requirements are not as stringent as the county program,” Mr. Vizzi emphasized. However, SSI recipients must keep records of some of their assets. The Federal basic grant (nationwide) is $130 a month per individual although a couple may receive $190. Each state has been invited to supplement this basic grant but only twelve states have done so. Screening process Allen O’Donnell, representing the American Red Cross, said than his participation in the SSI affair was “a bit different.” The Health Education and Welfare (HEW) Department asked the Red Cross to contact those on welfare last November and inform them of the change to SSI. With 12,000 people to contact, the job had to be done by telephone, and as of February 15, 5600 people had received personal phone calls. According to Mr. O’Donnell, the Red Cross prepared a screening process and found that 40% of those reached had qualified forr SSI. All of the churches in Erie County were notified of the basic outline of the program and will assist the Red Cross in their efforts.. “With your cooperation, the people will get the aid they surely need,” said Mr. O’Donnell. * Requirements An additional benefit is state supplementation, whereby an amount of $76.85 will be added to the basic grant of $130. A person is eligible for this supplementation only if he or she lives in his or her own household. Mr. Vizzi then went over the basic requirements a -disabled, aged or blind person must meet to receive SSI benefits. The Social Security office must receive a medical report to establish an individual’s disability. One must be disabled for longer than 12 months, and should not be able to work during that time. Alcoholics and drug addicts may by listed as disabled only if they are enrolled in a rehabilitation program. If an individual has reached the age of 65, he or she may apply for SSI benefits. Blind persons are also guaranteed benefits even if ‘A chance’ Janet Stroman, general case work consultant for the Department of Social Services, announced that as of last January, there were Free Standing Services Departments for “keeping, planning, enlarging and working with the aged, disabled and blind in regards to services.” “In regard to conversion, no one isblaming anyone,” Ms. Stroman said. Ms. Stroman then elaborated on the purpose of her organization; “We know that we are dealing with the aged and disabled, a group of persons finding many living difficulties. We have to depend on persons to inform us . . . all these people should have a chance.” The general philosophy of the SSI program, she said, was “good. We’re trying to move all the people we could in the SSI picture.” lowest prices in town Come to our drycleaning happening at the U.B.

Every male must still register with his local draft board within 30 days of his 18th birthday or face prosecution. The lottery system for determining the draft status of all new registrants is still in effect, and the entire draft bureacracy continues to operate. It only awaits the issuance of induction orders from Congress before it begins calling up new draftees. The vast majority of young men in America are not aware of the present status of the Selective Service draft. The rules and which were always confusing regulations are even worse now that public awareness of their existence has diminished. The local draft counseling center, a way of life for the college student of the late 1960’s seems to have become a thing of the past. However, the mandatory obligation of registering for military service and the distinct possibility that the draft may be revived does not seem to have the same effect on today’s draft-age youth as it did on their immediate predecessors. The Military and Draft Counseling Center of Buffalo is still open for business, and is doing its utmost to inform local youth of the possible complications that would result from failing to fulfill their registration obligations. “We don’t handle the same volume of cases as we did several years ago, but we do average about two or three cases a week,” said Georg Iggers, one of the Center’s many counselors. “The nature of our cases has also changed. Rather than handling primarily draft cases, we deal now in aiding — — enlistees who are dissatisfied with the serivce, soldiers who have gove AWOL, and draft evaders both here and in Canada who still face prosecution.” Comprehensive program The' Center’s counselors try to present every man that comes to them with a comprehensive evaluation of his individual situation and suggest all the available options to him. The Center’s organizers feel that this is one of theri strongest drawing points. They emphasis their comprehensive programs, contrastinf it to the “other centers which specialize in obtaining medical or conscientious objector status only, overlooking bonafide alternatives open to a person and thus, indrectly pushing him toward a final decision.” The,center, which is located at 72 North Parade Avenue and is open Thursday evenings, operates on a very informal basis. Unlike the situation several years ago, when draft counseling followed a set routine and was highly organized so that it could handle the large number of people which filtered through, the present operation consists of a small group of advisors and perhaps one or two young men presenting their individual cases to the panel. The counselors explains the various courses of action to the young man and extensively describe the advantages and drawbacks of each course of action. All available information is given to the young man; the final decision, of course, is left up to him. Once he decides what he wants to do, the counselors will work with him on an individual level to “provide him with an overall understanding of the processes of administration and law that apply to his situation, and offer ongoing continuous detailed instruction in how to best carry out his decision.” IRC petitions Petitions for Inter-Residence Council (IRC) officers will be available beginning today at the IRC office in Goodyear and at the Lehman Desk in the Governors Complex. Petitions are avilable for: President; Executive Vice-President for IRC Businesses, Inc.; Vice-President for Activities Planning; and Treasurer. All dorm students fee paying and non-fee paying are eligible to run for office. — — The Center has developed close ties with psychiatrists in the Buffalo area, and refers young men with legal complications or emotional disorders to them. This keeps both legal and medical channels open to them, and enables them to receive professional advice before reaching any decision. They also provide an opportunity to have individual files reviewed for errors, which might then be used as a basis for legal defense. One of the more sensitive problems is that of veterans with less-than-honorable and dishonorable discharges. Such discharges can hurt a man for the rest of life by excluding him from certain jobs and blemishing his record permanently. The Center informs these men on how to apply for a review of their discharges before a Review Board, and instructs them on applying for an Exemplary Certificate enabling him to find “gainful employment despite the grade of his discharge.” The most immediate problems of the Center are those of returning exiles from Canada who are arrested at the border many attorneys and crossings. “One Sunday night not too long ago, we received a call from a young girl whose boyfriend was arrested at the Peace Bridge when he tried to re-enter the country for a brief visit,” said Mr. Iggers. “He has been living in exile in Toronto for several years, and was sure that the authorities had forgotten about him.” Border surveillance is so extensive that returning exiles have a very good chance of being picked up at the border, a situation both complicated and confusing. In this particular case, the draft counselors were able to put the young man in contact with a lawyer and arrange for bail. The quick thinking of his girlfriend allowed for an adequate legal defense and avoided unnecessary complications,” Mr. Iggers explained.

Page five �haw school is suedfor reverse discrimination school admissions policy is a violation of the 14th Amendment’s guarantee of equal protection under the law, by discriminating In 1970, Marco DeFunis graduated from the University of Washington and applied to the law school there. He was rejected. In 1971 he applied again and was rejected again. His law board scores were higher than those of 37 minority students blacks, Indians, Chicanes who did get in. Charging reverse racial discrimination, Mr. DeFunis sued the law school. His lawsuit, which is now being heard by the U.S. Supreme Court, may have far-reaching repercussions on affirmative action and minority hiring and admissions programs across the country. Of the 150 students admitted to the University of Washington Law School in Mr. DeFunis’ year, the 44 minority students accepted were considered in a separate group, rated against other minority students but not against the large bulk of white applicants. A Washington trial court ruled for Mr. DeFunis and he was admitted to the law school, but the Washington Supreme Court overturned that ruling by upholding the law school’s admissions policy. Mr. DeFunis remained in school (and will graduate in June) after a stay by Justice William O. Douglas of the Supreme Court, which has already heard the opening arguments in the case. Whereas an unusual lawsuit may attract five or six briefs from interested national organizations, over 30 friend-of-the-court briefs have already been filed in the DeFunis case, an indication of the intense national interest in the outcome. The Supreme Court’s decision could affect minority hiring and admissions programs in every segment of American industry and education, and could upset the “affirmative action” concept mandated by the 1964 Civil Rights Act. The case involves a complex set of intellectual arguments ranging from the validity of separate admissions criteria for minority students to the accuracy of LSAT scores in forecasting a successful legal career. Mr. DeFunis maintains that the law against him as a white by assigning a larger number of places to non-whites than they would be entitled to according to mathematical criteria such as board scores. - — More than just grades Defending the law school’s admissions policy in Washington Supreme Court, Washington Attorney General Slade Gorton said the school had a social responsibility to recruit a diverse student body, and to increase the tiny number of non-white lawyers in the state and country by “advancing the pluralistic society.” Mr. DeFunis was a marginal candidate, Washington Law School argued; 29 white applicants with better scores than he were also rejected, while 38 whites with lower scores were admitted. Thus personal factors, background and recommendations were not just grades and test scores also considered, the law school argued. In upholding the admissions policy, highest court cited a Constitutional responsibility “to prevent the perpetuation of past discrimination and to undo the effects of past segregation.” Only 12 of the 3,812 Washington Law School graduates from 1902 to 1969 were black, Mr. Gorton said. Another issue is the right of a university to shape its own student body, by weighing such factors as geographical location, cultural background and work experience in addition to standardized test scores. On behalf of Harvard University, former Watergate special prosecutor Archibald Cox argued against “substituting an iron rule of law for the discretion of academic authorities to make a conscious selection of qualified students from the greatest variety of cultural, social and economic - - backgrounds.” Lawyers for Mr. DeFunis, on the other RE-DISCOVER flfTlERICfl B.NP.IHE.

Because the minority applicants were considered as a separate admitted two group, “the University Mr. DeFunis argued one,” not classes, lawyer. When institutions undertake affirmative action programs, which either provide for special admissions consideration for minority students or agressive recruitment of minority faculty, increased acceptances minority for group members must often come at the expense of whites. In 1971, there were 1,600 applicants for 150 places at Washington Law School. Thus, if the Supreme Court rules that considering minority applicants as a separate group is discriminatory, it could severely set back minority recruitment and admission efforts at schools and companies across the ... country No quota Additionally, Washington Law School has argued that its separate admissions policy does not constitute a racial quota, which is illegal unless ordered by a court to Aindo past discrimination. They claim that a large number of discretionary factors such as besides standardized test scores employment record and personal are carefully recommendations considered when deciding whether to accept or reject a student. When Supreme Court Justice Lewis F. Powell asked Mr. DeFunis’ lawyer whether “formal grades — — are the only thing that can be considered,” he answered, “no.” This is a key point, for if Washington Law School can establish that its admissions policy is not based solely on race or test scores, but considers a wide range of discretionary factors, then any charge of clear-cut reverse racial discrimination would be difficult to prove. On the other hand, the law school will have to legally justify considering minority applicants as a separate group, and probably establish that those minority students admitted were accepted because they were deemed as qualified as white applicants on the basis of alternative criteria, and not simply to fulfill a racial “quota.” It is doubtful that the Supreme Court will approve'any type of racial quota system or a separate set of standards for minority applicants. It is also unlikely that the high court will mandate any “iron rule” for standardizing admissions by removing the university’s academic discretion to consider varied socio-economic factors in selecting its student body. Since it is not that clear-cut in the DeFunis case that quotas and not discretion were applied, the Court may sidestep the whole issue and wait for a more blatant case of undisputed quotas before making a definitive ruling. Any ruling, substantive or otherwise, is likely to hinge on whether the standards required of the separate group of minority applicants are merely alternative or objectively lower. This too is a murky realm, since many have argued that standardized tests like the LSAT are oriented to the white middle-class and are therefore culturally biased against minority group members. Whatever the outcome of the case of Marco DeFunis, the issue of minority admissions is likely to remain controversial for a long time to come.

SA president-elect Grading is major concern by Amy Dunkin Campus Editor Now that the campaign fervor has subsided, the newly-elected Student Association (SA) officers are wasting no time in getting down to business. The most important consideration, according to SA President-elect Frank Jackalone, is to insure that the plus-minus grading option is not given final approval by President Robert Ketter. The proposal, allowing instructors the option to grade their students by adding a plus or minus to the usual ABCDF letter grade, was passed by the Faculty-Senate last Tuesday. “The action was done hastily with a minimum of input from all sides. It caught everyone off guard,” Mr. Jackalone asserted. He will therefore urge Dr. Ketter to reject the proposal and send it back to the Faculty-Senate for further review. As a possible alternative to the proposal, Mr. Jackalone suggested Both Mr. Jackalone and Mr. Huram regard the maintaining the present grading system with Colleges as another vital academic issue. Mr. Jackalone mandatory written evaluations in upper level courses emphasized that SA could help maintain the “spirit of of a student’s major. He conceded that it might be the individual Colleges” by maximizing its influence workable if the plus-minus option could be left in the on the Colleges Chartering Committee. “We have hands of the individual students, not the faculty started an effort to talk to members ofacademic clubs members. and faculty who can influence the Chartering Committee in understanding the student perspective,” Frank Shampoo / hand, have argued that many minority applicants were admitted with scores below the cut-off point for whites. While the social goals of Washington Law School may be sound, they contend, they should not be achieved at the expense of Mr. DeFunis.

Therefore, SA and the Faculty-Senate, hopefully based on a thorough Faculty-Senate “will have to work together in investigation of the entire grading issue. —continued on page 10 �Minorities weighed... argued in the DeFunis case as well, is whether “numbers” are a valid criteria for accepting or rejecting law school applicants. “We understand there is some criticism of our practice of using the standard measures of college grade-point and LSAT scores for the bulk of our admissions, while we use different criteria and procedures for the minority program,” Dr. Greiner wrote to the University’s Executive vice-president Albert Somit last month. “We do not believe” that grade-point average and LSAT scores “are fully adequate bases for law school ■ admissions,” Dr. Greiner wrote, urging the use of “other criteria, such as age, job experience, and formal education beyond the baccalaureate degree.” If the Law School relied solely on marks and board scores, he continued, “we would exclude qualified minority and other candidates whose performance in law school, and potential contribution to the profession is, in our opinion, at least as good as that of students who are admitted ‘by the numbers’.” Both the minority admissions and special admissions categories which look at non-quantifiable factors are experimental, Dr. Holley said. “What we’re asking is: Are the alternative criteria we’re using for minority students valuable as predictive indicators of success in law school?” The experimental data has not been fully analyzed, since minority students have only been considered as a separate group in 1972 and 1973, but minority students admitted in the class of ’72 “did significantly better than previous minority students,” noted Dr. Greiner. The Minority Admissions Committee consists of four faculty (one of whom is a minority group member) and four minority students. This committee developed the admissions criteria for minority students, although all admissions policies must be approved by the entire Law faculty. The separate admissions process “evolved from a decision by the Law faculty as a whole that there was a need for affirmative action,” Dr. Greiner said. —continued from « 1— peg* 'A than four years ago. There has been a remarkable increase in the pool of qualified blacks, and I hope that pool will continue to increase,” Dr. Musselman added. Out of the 135 students accepted to the State University of Buffalo Medical School in September 1973, 40 were minority students, and 24 of those were blacks. Additionally, 38 were women. Dr. Musselman noted, observing that the Medical School’s enrollment of 28% women was one of the highest in the country. Are the minority students accepted by the Medical School as qualified as the whites it accepts? “The grade-point average of whites accepted is higher than blacks,” Dr. Musselman said. “The minority students we do accept have lower numbers than the whites admitted but they are qualified to finish no question about it not a good, but medical school. They have an excellent an excellent change to graduate and become good doctors,” he commented, noting the extremely low dropout rate among minorities. Possible lawsuit It has been reported that a white female who was rejected by Buffalo Medical School is now suing on the grounds of reverse discrimination, as in the DeFunis case. “We don’t know whether we are being sued,” said Dr. Musselman. “An investigator from Albany notified us of an ‘action’ against the State Education Department six to eight weeks ago. But we’ve never received a subpoena, nor any other official notification that we were being sued. We and the person is charging reverse know who it is but it isn’t valid,” Dr. Musselman discrimination concluded. “Systematic and widespread discrimination has denied blacks and members of other racial minorities equal education opportunities,” Dr. Greiner wrote Hayes Hall last month. “The effects of this discrimination, coupled with cultural and social class bias in standard academic measuring devices, make it unlikely that racial minorities will be admitted to law schools (and hence to the legal profession) unless affirmative action is undertaken to account for these factors in our admission program,” Dr. Greiner added. Less than 3% of the lawyers in the United States are black, he noted; “before affirmative action only 4,000 Or programs, that figure was less than 1% 5,000 black lawyers in the country.” Affirmative action for hiring Law faculty has been slow, he said, because “with less than 3% blacks and 6% women with law degrees, it is harder than hell to find qualified people with — — - - — Pool increasing Grades and MCAT scores are used for the first screening, Dr. Musselman explained. “Accepting — regularity.” History of discrimination Because of affirmative action programs, however, “it should be much less of a problem in the next few years,” Dr. Greiner predicted, “In 15 years, if affirmative action programs continue, there will be no need for a special minority admissions program in law. The colleges will fill up with highly qualified blacks. Even now, because of integration, more blacks are used to standardized testing and will eventually become more successful on standardized tests,” Dr. Greiner continued. Poor whites also constitute a disadvantaged group. Dr. No Med School quota In the State University of Buffalo Medical School “minority students are processed with everyone else, and then reconsidered by a special committee,” explained M. Luther Musselman, chairman of the Medical Admissions Committee. “By and large, minority students do not have as good grades and MCAT scores as the rest of the applicants,” Dr. Musselman said. Therefore, the special committee which reconsiders minority applicants “must take into consideration” that these numbers are lower for minority students, he said. “There really isn’t a quota in the Medical School,” Dr. Musselman insisted. “Some minority students are accepted through the regular process.” Those that are not initially accepted but not automatically rejected are placed on “hold” for reconsideration by the minority admissions committee, he explained, “We re-process whites, too the but only if extra is, we take anothe; look at them evidence is submitted on their behalf later on, or if there’s some other compelling reason to reconsider,” Dr. Musselman explained. - — Minorities get ‘second look’ Taking a second look is “routine” for minority students, however, and they are scrutinized by “a special small committee which understands the problems of minority students,” said Dr. Musselman. This procedure has been used “ever since we started making an effort to recruit minority students about four or five years ago,” the Medical Admissions chairman recalled. At that time, “so few minority students applied that we actually only took an insignificant number. The we started recruiting.” The separate reconsideration of minority students is important, Dr. Musselman explained, because “a small group of people can judge them better. A big group often won’t see enough of them. But a small, specialized group can make better comparisons.” —Santos Greiner conceded, but “the educational disadvantages some whites have suffered do not appear to have been based on the systematic public and private discrimination rooted in the institution of slavery.” He continued: “For 300 years, blacks lived as slaves. They were discriminated against even after they were freed men. It is just 100 years Dannye Holley candidates by grades is not fair,” he admitted, “but with 5000 people to screen, we have to do it. We need some criteria to whittle down 5000 applicants to a manageable number.” But since “numbers don’t always apply to white or black students,” alternative criteria are used for minority students and others who are given a second look. “Sure we look at grades, in science, non-science courses and total grade-point average, and we look at MCAT’s. But we also look at the applicant’s college and what degree he received, summer jobs, work experience during the year, education beyond college, and what kind of person he is,” Dr, Musselman explained. On the first go-through it is mostly grades and board scores, he indicated, “largely yes/no/number categories, through which we must screen down 5,300 applicants to about 1500 to 2000. These are then hand-scanned in great detail,” looking at alternative factors such as letters of recommendation, until all but 700 are eliminated, he explained. Docs the Medical School’s special treatment of minority applicants constitute reverse racial discrimination? “It could be viewed that way,” Dr. Musselman conceded, “but I would regret stopping it. The way education is going, 1 hope that in 3, 4 or 5 years, this will not be necessary. It’s become much less necessary now since the Emancipation Proclamation, just 20 years since Brown v. the Board of Education. Duke Law School barred blacks as late as 1962. Law schools engaged in affirmative discrimination programs for years. Against that institutions have a background, public historical responsibility to achieve social mobility for blacks, Indians and certain other ethnic groups,” Dr. Greiner explained. Noting the “gross under-representation” of blacks in the legal profession, he observed; “We have enrolled in this Law School right now more blacks than in the history of the UB Law School combined.” Regardless of the Supreme Court ruling, despite various other legal and social challenges, the Law School and Medical School at this University are likely to continue their separate admissions considerations for minority students, denying that they constitute reverse discrimination because the minority students accepted are “as qualified” although perhaps not on the basis of raw as whites to graduate and become successful numbers professionals. If colleges and professional schools around the country continue on this affirmative action path then the optimistic barring any fatal legal setbacks predictions that separate minority admissions will no longer be needed may one day become reality. — — — - S .A.

The only way to strengthen the student voice is for a strong SA to confront the faculty and Administration when student concerns are being ignored. While recognizing the many accomplishments of outgoing SA Jon Dandes' administration probably the most active and effective SA in we have often criticized Mr. Dandes' years "buddy-buddy" relationship with the Administration. This charge requires clarification. There is undoubtedly a positive side to enjoying good relations with the Administration.

The faculty feel students have no place in their private domain of academic plus/minus decree, student concerns are often totally ignored by the faculty and Administration. Like any bureaucracy, the Administration is motivated by politics. And since politics is a response to pressure, only a firm and vocal stance by SA can insure that student needs are given equal weight. The issue is whether students will have a say in their own education, or simply follow the dictates of a University bureaucracy motivated by pressure from others. When Mr. Dandes voiced the students' outrage when Dr. Gelbaum cancelled 16 College courses and called for his ouster. President Ketter quickly responded to that pressure by reinstating those courses. Good relations and vocal opposition when needed are not mutually exclusive. We hope SA President-elect Frank Jackalone can continue to nurture a good working relationship with Dr. Ketter and the Administration. But when as is student concerns are ignored happening now with the Colleges and we hope SA will plus/minus grading the challenge Administration aggressively with the full political weight of 14,000 undergraduates behind it. your decision to start a present system and now it is as if there was never any vote taken at all. 1 only hope the decision will not be finalized. policy-making. As a Democratic Congress must build a working relationship with a Republican President but aggressively challenge him like any other when necessary, students group pressure or be must exert political ignored. Cooperation, input on committees, and personal lobbying can achieve wide relationship results. But as with the Colleges and between SA and the Administration would, of course, benefit no one. But when decisions are made which completely ignore the concerns of students, then the SA President challenge and confront the must Administration. Overall good relations between students and Hayes Hall and a healthy mutual respect should make it that much easier to take a strong opposing stand when necessary. There is a time for diplomacy, a time for compromise, and a time to speak out. Diplomacy has its place: the Fac-Sen's approval of two students on the Presidential Tenure Board was largely the result of personal persuasion by Mr. Dandes. But after the Senate ignored students by chopping up the grading scale into plusses and minuses, the SA President should have issued a strong public denunciation and took actions to organize a strong student protest against the move. President Ketter operates in response to a broad range of pressures, as any college president must. Besides varying pressures from the faculty, staff and students as well Dr. Ketter must as directives from Albany - be sensitive to community opinion, since he must court the favor of local legislators to fight for this University at budget time. So while the Administration holds all the power on this campus, it exercises that power in response to political considerations. The 50/50 admissions policy was a response to community pressure; the current re-evaluation of the A-course load is a response to pressure from Albany.

A group of women in the Buffalo area have begun meeting to discuss the possibilities of unionizing legal secretaries. Concerned with guananteeing such basic benefits as wage increases, health insurance, life insurance, and retirement benefits, the group also address itself to the larger issues of Equal Pay for Equal Work, Day Care Centers, and passage of the Equal Rights Amendment. Although there is a strong current of discontent among legal clerical workers, it remains vague and poorly articulated. Individual workers are isolated. Unlike laborers on an assembly line, legal workers come in contact with only a few co-workers to hear each other’s grievances or positive ideas. Additionally, traditional notions of women’s role the helpful, silent support person who takes on work without complaining or getting adequately tend to re-enforce the status paid (or paid at all) quo. Women form the majority of clerical legal workers, and at some level they frequently think of their office relationships in the same terms as their family relationships. It is OK for them to be and to complain over-worked and underpaid would only spoil the smooth personal interactions of the office. To bring in a “stranger” i.e., a union to mitigate complaints is especially distasteful. To overcome these and other problems, the group needs to expand, to reach people who are interested or who could obvioucly gain from or contribute to the project.

Plwase phone ahead if you need day care arrangements - —- - I was with great dismay that 1 read The Spectrum's front page article concerning the faculty-sentate’s passage of the plus-minus grading option proposal (Friday, March 8, 1974). The faulty logic which led to its passage is clearly visible in the statement of one of its major proponents. Dr. Segal asserts that plus/minus “will dimmsh the degree of distinction which can only lessen competition because the prize is smaller.” How ironic is the against the plus-minus proposal are well defined in both The Spectrum editorial and Dr. Allen’s remarks in Guest Opinion. It is not my intention to restate them here. 1 only wish to strongly urge Dr. Kettcr, in creation of even further distinctions. The arguments First of all I would like to apologize to the woman, that I must have error young lady thoroughly disconcerted the other day in the tunnel. I cornered at near full speed on the Harriman end only to find someone, 1 think it was a she, in front of me I moved sharp left and hit a puddle and almost wiped out some guy on the other side of the tunnel as traction disappeared and grave injury was narrowly averted on all sides.

What possible difference could it make to him if any by Steese of the people recently indicted in the Watergate madness were convicted?

Well, let us poke on inside the befuzzled depths of my head and see what happens. It being late in the evening, lord knows what we are going to find in there. ho!— to wander on Oh, seems as if I forgot about my getting drunk on a Sunday a while back. It was the third party of that weekend and I blew it, or drank it. Turns out to be a loser the next day, being left in a prone position with neither inclination nor capacity to move without certain drastic physical repercussions. I mean it is almost impossible to even eat for two days, much less the first day afterwards. All of which is not basically what it occurs to me to basically want to remember. It is just a trifle painful to recall those parts of it in fact. The fascinating parts of this particular experience involve the fact that not all of it is available to me. There are parts of it which are somewhat hazy, and parts of it which just aren’t available at all. There were a variety of people 1 knew at this party and 1 keep hearing about things I said or did that I don’t remember. Which is a little freaky for me, since 1 generally remember almost everything that happens in such situations. The most unsettling part of it is the fact that all things people say are nice. The difficulty being based on the stubborn insistence someplace in my head that there is a large substantial streak of meanness in me; that when necessary I can be as miserable and rotten as need be to get by in a mean and rotten world. The world docs seem to me to occasionally require a certain element of hostile aggressiveness to survive, and it is a source of some comfort to me that when necessary that capacity is there. I have, in point of fact, muttered and growled at people who seemed to me to be trying to take the bitchy piece away from me by referring to me as large, warm, and fuzzy-type objects such as golden retrievers and more — pandas. It is, however, difficult for me to account for the fact that I am never mean when I am drunk. I just get amiable, expansive and other generally sociable things. Does it not seem reasonable that if I were actually bitchy, it should show up when 1 am functioning without conscious controls? I get more and more nervous when I contemplate the possibility that it is fact, not there. Something about yet another way in which my survival capacity is not suited to the current world. And the odds of the world changing drastically seem awfully damned poor. So I guess 1 ’ll just have to be anxious about it. Monday, 11 March 1974 . The Spectrum . Page nine �inion President-elect Guest lobbying with the Administration to provide the necessary funds."Mr. Jackalone proposed that money in the Colleges “be temporarily geared toward hiring faculty” with the promise of later reimbursement from the Administration. He also will appeal to sympathetic faculty to volunteer their time in assisting the Colleges. The overall goal of the new SA administration is to reach out to the student body by providing an efficient and visible line of communication. “The more people involved in government, the less elitist it becomes,” said Mr. Humm. “We’re all students. We all have to go to classes. And we can get more done with more people working,” he added. by Walter Simpson Mr. Howard Chubinsky has expressed (The Spectrum letter dated March 6, 74) the view that free speech would be threatened if The Spectrum refused to carry advertisements from the United States like individuals and Armed Forces, that is, that advertisers organizations “should have the right to make their views known without discrimination or censorship.” I share Mr. Chubinsky’s concern over the future of free speech, yet I don’t think the matter is as simple as he presents it Consider: if a certain size advertisement costs $25 then the use of that space to convey a certain message is had necessarily on the basis of discrimination, i.c. whether or not a particular applicant has the ability to pay for that space. Now then, my point of view might be just as Public forums In the coming weeks, SA will hold open forums valid as that of the U.S. Armed Forces (perhaps I flatter myself), but I doing, according don't have $25 to spend to have it publicly aired. The Armed Forces for officers to explain what they are when what the happens And consider have gigantic advertising budgets. space becomes much more costly than a mere $25: the large corporations have ad budgets which allow them to continually flood the public with their self-interested and profit-motivated points of view. Individuals and orgnaizations bent on expressing a more public-minded message are unable to compete and are consequently less heard. Thus, the practice of advertising is based on discrimination. Discrimination based on wealth. Consider; many publications sink or swim on the basis of monies received for advertising space. Naturally, this dependency on the advertiser’s money gives these advertisers power over the publisher. While this may not yet be the case with The Spectum, it should be seen that such an arrangement makes it very easy for the advertisers to censor the publisher (or the editor), and not vice versa. It may become increasingly difficult for a publication to give expression to a point of view which is contrary to the interests of its advertisers if it is to survive. Thus, the practice of advertising contains its own dynamic of - — censorship. And consider; most advertisments are to one extent or another misleading. Certain images are usually presented which have little to do with the product being sold: thus soap is sold on the basis of being a good mother, toothpaste on the basis of sexual success, automobiles and electric can openers on the basis of the Good Life, and the United States ARmed Froces on the basis of being a real man. Such ploys are fundamentally lies and deceptions. Their end results are that language and speech become increasingly meaningless, and that our thought and action become increasingly manipulated. My point is that the issue of advertising and free speech is a complex one. In many ways it seems to me that the practice of advertising is itself contrary to freedom of speech. Advertisement, as 1 have known them, seem cither to involve their own forms of repressive discrimination and censorship of divergent points of view, or tend to by corrupting make the very purpose of free speech impossible language, and, hence, inhibiting any kind of speech or communication, and by reducing the spheres of free thought and action. These considerations apply to the advertisements put out by the United States Armed Forces just as they apply to the ads of the cigarette industry showing two lovers picnicking and happily smoking smokeless cigarettes. They also apply to the ads put out by corporations which profit through the production and sale (as well as use) of war materials, ads showing a darly little child pulling a cute red wagon through a warmly lit grassy field. And leaving aside for a moment the United States Armed Forces, I ask Mr. Chubinsky to suppose there was an organization which had almost unlimited resources, whose function was world-wide murder and repression, and whose ads might con the unwary and insecure into joining its ranks and carrying out its deadly program. Should The Spectrum sell this organization the space it desires to make its point? —continued from page 6— ... to Mr. Jackalone. In addition, he hopes the press will cooperate with SA in allowing the officers to print periodic progress reports. A newly-expanded public information office will handle research and staff an information booth in Norton Hall and the EUicott Complex. Besides distributing SA information sheets, the booth will be a focal point for suggestions. “If a lot of people are involved, it minimizes the burden on each person,” Mr. Jackalone said. Mr. Jackalone and Mr. Humm will also meet with members of departmental clubs to encourage them to strengthen their voices in policy decisions. Finally Mr. Jackalone discussed one of SA’s most immediate projects: converting the Rathskellar into a campus pub, with a bar, dance floor, and music. “A pub could be a meeting place for on-campus and commuter students, and a profitable operation for Food Service,” Mr. Jackalone said. , fthaIlflUMW VOL ■mu — lisbon bailey drug co. prescriptions, school supplies, health now & beauty aids 10% discount to all students with ID.

I’ve confronted people with the issues and they have been forced to discuss the issues and not the bullshit.” There were times during his administration when it became obvious that Jon was seriously frustrated by the Student Assembly, a group for which he has little respect, something he has been sharply criticized about.

Karate: phOosophy of leadership Ironically, for Mr. Dandes, his political evolution nearly resulted in the exclusion of karate from his life. “I’ve been able to work out by myself in the mornings, but I haven’t been able to work out as much as I’d like. 1 feel more comfortable in the gym and I’m looking forward to going back.” It appears the karate has provided Jon with a philosophy of leadership as well as the knowledge that he can take care Playing the game Mr. Dandes admits that his idealism has turned to skepticism during his term of office. He is hurt by criticism that he has been co-opted and come on like another administrator, not taking stands, and is quick to point out the many successes of his administration. “The papers say 1 didn’t take a stand on arming. But Security is not armed. They say I didn’t take a stand on the Colleges. We worked til two in the hi 9 > Dandes Drawing strength from karate by Bruce Engel Contributing Editor For an entire year these pages have described one side of a many-sided man. Jon Dandes’ political life has been watched like a hawk and documented for posterity. Jon’s other lives avid sports fan, black belt in karate, and excellent student headed for are less well medical school known. The question then arises: which is the real Jon? According to Mr. Dandes himself, it is the Black Belt. It seems that the precious piece of cloth represents eight years of hard work and a new outlook on life. “It’s made me realize the need for honesty, integrity and accountability,” said Jon during an interview in his office last week. “I expect to be held accountable for everything that this administration does, good or bad. And if I’m going to be responsible for $800,000 of summer sweat money, it’s going to be done my way.” The decor of the office says a - - lot about the man. Among the things on the walls and blackboard are Buffalo sports schedules, his black belt picture, as well as pictures of some of SA’s speakers, Humphrey Bogart and Errol Flynn in scenes from their pictures, J.J. Pontillio (Jon’s karate instructor) and a poster of Brando as the Godfather. Started on althletic board “J.J. is the Godfather,” Jon said. “You know the Godfather had his points. He was responsible,” Mr. Dandes added. 1 remember the first time I was in the SA President’s office last spring. Jon was sitting on the couch in front of his desk while J.J. lounged in the president’s chair with his feet on the ink blotter, looking for all the world like he owned the place: Jon credits his instructor as being the one person other than his parents who has been the largest influence in his life. “J.J. taught me that to know that you know what you know, and that you don’t know what you don’t know is true Announcing the OPENING OF THE flENT TYPEWRITERS (El«ctrlc « VAJRAYANA Restaurant .

If I have to wear a shirt and tie to be effective, then that’s what I’ll do. Students have never been in the ballgame before. If you’re going to play the game, you have to wear the uniform.” Jon was quick to praise an unsung hero as well as the University’s top executive. “Ninety-five percent of our success is due to (SA vice-president Dave) Saleh. I’ve been honored to work with this whole executive committee,” he said. “Robert Ketter has more integrity than anyone here. He says yes or no and sticks to it. He doesn’t play games,” Jon added. On a more personal level, Jon has seen little of his girlfriend or his family in the past year, but some things never change. “My mother still makes me put out the garbage,” Mr. Dandes asserted. Obviously, she sees yet another side of the SA President. The phone rings in the office for what seems like the thousandth time during the interview. Soon these calls will be answered by a new president, and this man and his style will fade from the scene.

And now with crisp, new price tags. At only $109.95, the SR-11 is priced so you can have one of your own. Yet, it delivers the computation power to handle a wide range of slide-rule functions. A single keystroke gives you square roots, squares, reciprocals, and multiplication and division by a constant or Pi. And using simple methods, you can quickly compute nth powers, nth roots, sines, cosines, tangents, arc sines, arc tangents, exponentials and logarithms. Without writing down interim results, you’ll be able to solve quadratic equations, the sum of products, the sum of quotients, the reciprocal of the sum of reciprocals, the square root of the sum of squares and more. But all this scientific capability doesn’t mean the SR11 is hard to operate. An easy-to-use algebraic keyboard lets you key problems as you’d write them on paper. Data may be entered in full floating decimal point, scientific notation, or any combination of the two. And the SR-ll’s bright, 8-digit display is clearly visible for hours of fatigue-free operation. A little more capability than you need? Then take a look at Texas Instruments SR-10. Except for the absence of a Constant capability and Pi Key, the SR-10 has the same basic features and capabilities as the SR-11. But it costs just $89.95. Both the SR-10 and SR-11 include AC adapter/ charger, vinyl carrying case, user’s manual and applications guide. And both carry TPs full year warranty against defects in parts and workmanship.

For example, “29 Years From Texas”: “Hot country biscuits in the morning time Hello Mr. Jackrabbit, Mr. Mesquite Tree!" I’m surprised he left out Mr. Green Jeans. What really bums me up is “Unborn Child.” This is the cut they’re trying to hit with on the charts. "Oh, unborn child, if you only knew Just what your momma is planning to do You’re still a clinging to the tree of life But soon you’ll be cut off before you get ripe” At this poing, the lyrics are only annoyingly naive. But later on, At this point, the lyrics are only annoyingly naive. But " - ***'' ' Seals and Crofts Unborn Child (Warner Bros.) Everyone knows the truth of the phrase “too much of good thing.” Being aware of the dangers of excess is essential to good music. knowing just how far to go Seals and Crofts seem to have lost that ability. In fact, if I had to sum up Unborn Child in a word, it would be overdone. One thing that most great artists have in common is a unique sound. When Seals and Crofts started out, they had just that. The double leads (before the Allman Brothers made it popular), the equal importance of mandolin and guitar, the sophisticated vocal harmonies delivered perfectly by two incredibly well-matched voices, the classical and English folk influences and the Ba’hai-influenced lyrics were some of the main components of their unique sound. By using the two instruments and two voices to their fullest extent, Seals and Crofts managed to come out with music that was subtle, beautiful and complex without the necessity of lavish arrangements. Oh, they used bass, drums and orchestration, but these things were kept in the background, under control, used mostly to accent the vocals and main jinstruments. Also, they stuck to acoustic mandolin and guitar. The lyrics made it all quaint. Starting with Down Home ,Dash started using electric mandolin. This enhanced their sound, because it was used tastefully. With each new album, more and more electricity was employed. Finally, on Summer Breeze, they acquired an electric lead guitarist in the form of their new producer, Louis Shelton. Even that album was still good, a - - Graham Nash Wild Tales (Atlantic) "Oh. no, momma, please let it be You ’ll never regret it.. . so please bear the ppain How in the hell do they know “Momma” will never regret it? And what do they know about bearing the pain, physical and mental;of childbirth? do they know about bearing the pain, physical and mental, of childbirth? I know they’re entitled to their own views, but I don’t have to like them. Contrary to what you must be thinking by now, I do see some redeeming features on Unborn Child. There are “Rachel,” “The Story of Her Love,” and three songs “Follow Me” that I really like. The lyrics are bearable, the arrangements are simple and basically acoustic, the music and the harmonies are beautiful, subtle, complex in short, it sounds like early Seals and Crofts, which in my opinion, is their best stuff. It is not Seals and Crofts’ present expanded musical outlook that I mind, but the fact that they arc losing their musical identity in the process (I have a theory that Louis Shelton may be somewhat responsible for this present state of affairs). Hopefully, they’ll come to their senses soom. But for the present, ironically, it seems that Seals and Crofts, like so many other artists, have only reached theheight of their popularity when their music has already Now, those added noises can all be classified as contemporary music sounds. They would fit in just as easily with, say, a Helen Reddy tune. Even more distrubing is that all this extra instrumentation makes no sense a majority of the time. “Dance by the Light of the Moon” is a prime example. This song starts out sounding like moderately lively S&C. OK so far. Then, a whooshing noise brings us into a total country sound, waltz time, replete with steel pedal, with the lyrical vocal harmony that hasbecome their trademark. Now get this. It goes into a frantically-paced fuzz tome double lead backed by maniacal bass and drums. Very heavy. The music in this last part is very good in fact, Louis Shelton seems to be an excellent lead player. I can understand you’re wanting to flex your musical muscles, Louie, but it just don’t belong there. What this song as a whole sounds like is a mish-mosh of Seals and Crofts, James Taylor, Steely Dan and who knows what else as being the “American Beatles," mainly because of their progressive and romantic appeal.. CSN&Y was a group ol bun minds (and voices! fused into one.

Similarly, how many knew that when C’SN&Y stopped performing together, Graham Nash would be the one to “Shine On Brightly”? David Crosby has become a boring self-ripoff. Neil Young has been going stale and Stills is confused and defeated. Ah, but Mr. Nash has now come out with his second solo Ip., Wild Tales and 1 must say it is the best album of its kind I have ever heard. a rock critic comes on like this “Best album I’ve ever heard.” God, how many times has he written an album up like that? Well, rest assured this IS the best. Nash wrote all ten songs and incorporated the help of Crosby (he’s good on harmonies and works well with Nash), Johnny Varbata (the “family’s” favorite drummer), Dave Mason, and Nash’s old flame Joni Mitchell. Wild Tales is a much peppier album than his first effort, Songs for Beginners. Graham is still writing political love songs; however, he is no longer lulling in his own sadness but is now giving advice.

The harmonies (Nash and Crosby) are vacuum-packed for freshness. The song makes me feel like just jumped into a cold pool on a hot day in the middle of the summer. “Another Sleep Song” sounds a bit like Feely’s “Tubular Bells.” Joni Mitchell, in the background, supplies her vocal talents in an interesting fashion. The number must go down as one of Nash’s most Nash | beautifully-written love songs. Wild Tales shows quite clearly Nash’s ability as an artist to convey his feelings and beliefs. His sensitive approach to the world around him makes him an earthy performer to listen to. Nash is honest in his approach to his music and never tries to take on more than he can handle.

Barbata is excellent on drums, as is Drummond on bass. Nash’s confident, English voice always melts in well with his music. His lyrics, voice and band are certainly an eyebrow-raiser. “Oh! Camil (The Winter Soldier)” demonstrates Nash’s continuing distaste for war. Dave Mason is on this cut and plays his twelve-string acoustic in a strong, rebellious fashion.

Additionally, Jim Randall and Jim Slayton, both varsity regulars, received extra playing time with the JV squad. Slayton quadrupled his highest varsity output in his only game with the Baby Bulls. The season began disastrously for the Baby Bulls, as they failed to pick up a victory in five tries the first semester. Defense was the team’s major problem, along with Hill’s inability to decide on a starting lineup. The Buffalo roster received a facelift for the second semester, dropping six of the original 13, largely because they were academically ineligible. “I would like to have kept [Wes] Marable and [Bob] Barnett,” only John Ruffino, sophomore, had been recruited. a “The purpose of the junior varsity,” explained Hill, “is to aid the varsity,” This is normally accomplished by giving freshman and sophomores more playing time than they would normally receive on the varsity. Using this as a criterion, the Baby Bulls remarked Hill. The Baby Bulls added 6-5 Don Weiss, a transfer from Jacksonville, guard John Trigilio and Peterson. Dave Ridell, the team’s shortest member, received more playing time and emerged as an important member of the squad. “We had to get better [because of the changes],” Hill noted. “We were a much better team the second half of the year.” the Baby Bulls squad, finishing second in scoring and leading the team in assists. Additionally, the 5-10 guard led the team in rebounding in four games. Syracuse top opponent “We played a lot of tough teams. I though the best was Syracuse,” Hill reflected. The Did Peterson quit?

Perennial Big Ten contenders Ohio State and Michigan State join Seton Hall, the fourth entrant in last year’s District II playoff tournament, in completing the field. “This is the best tournament a team from Buffalo has ever gone to,” commented Monkarsh. “Any team who wants to be Division I and play the best possible competition has to go south for a spring training session. This is one of the things that enhances our recruiting of topflight local talent,” Monkarsh added.

Buffalo’s basketball woes began long before the season started, when the University was very late in appointing a successor to Ed Muto.

NAfjtyp Cm s r % UfO K, *», State University of New York at Buffalo S /9>. 8 March 1974 instructors grants Fac-Sen °RIAL' plus/minus grading option by Richard Kerman Contribu ting Editor Instructors have now “Surveys showed that students particularly didn’t want change a more elaborate system,” Dr. Lewis insisted, “every time someone on the committee had a suggestion for changfe, more problems were discovered,” he added. M r. Jackalone characterized the actions of the Faculty-Senate as “hasty,” adding: “It was a topic of major academic importance and there was very little discussion.” — the option to grade their students by adding a plus or minus to the usual ABCDF letter grade, according to a proposal passed by the Faculty-Senate Tuesday. Also approved was the proposal to add two students one undergraduate to the and one graduate — - Presidential Tenure Review Board (PRB) as non-voting members. Under the new grading option approved Tuesday an A equals 4.0 quality points, A- is worth 3.7, B+ equals 3.3, etc. There will be no A+ or F+ grades. According to the motion, the plus/minus option will be available only to instructors of undergraduate courses at their discretion. “It is very fair to allow the faculty to be able to have this increased degree of accuracy, insofar as we retain the present system,” maintained Harold Segal, professor of Biology and author of the motion. Informing the Senate of his support for extensive future revisions in the grading system, Dr. Segal argued that the addition of a plus/minus grading option was a necessary addition to the present system. - Overemphasis on grades In last October’s Student Association referendum, 90S students voted that they were satisfied with the present grading system while 790 students said they were not. Asked what they would prefer “as an alternative to the present grading system,” 588 students voted for the addition of a plus/minus system similiar to that passed by the Faculty-Senate, 428 preferred a system of pass/fail or pass/fail/pass with honors, and 296 desired another system altogether. “There is entirely too much emphasis on grades and records,’* Dr. Segal said. He felt there are benefits to a system by which instructors can evaluate, their students, but once evaluations they only serve the interests of those outside the University. Dr. Segal does not consider the results of last October’s referendum significant. become The plus/minus option was offered as an amendment to a motion calling for the retention of the prcserit ABCDF grading system as it now exists. Arguing against the plus/minus option, Student Association (SA) President-elect Frank Jackalone By making the system more competitive, you are sacrificing something from the educational experience.” said; “ Plus/minus “diminishes pressure for grades among students by making the differences between grades smaller,” Dr. Segal asserted. ‘Tt will diminish the degree of distinction which can only lessen competition because the prize is smaller.” “Despite its shortcomings, ABCDF should be retained,” commented professor of Sociology Lionel Lewis, chairman of the Faculty-Senate’s Grading and Evaluation Committee and sponsor of the original motion. be damaging to anybody, cannot exacerbate competition, and is in the best “Plus/minus cannot interest of the students,” he said. “1 oppose it (plus/minus] because it increases our role as socio-economic policemen and adds to our obsession with grades,” declared William Allen, professor of History. Will deflate grades “The issue is not grading precision but flexibility fof those that preserve the illusion that grades really measure something,” added English instructor Mark Schechner. “I don’t feel bound by a referendum, although I am influenced by it,” said Physics professor Jonathan Reichert, who voted for the plus/minus option. Although he believes grades often 1 do not represent the quality of a student’s supported work. Dr. Reichert the amendment because “Dr. Segal’s argument convinced me that the quantum leap from A to B was too great.’’ Dr. Reichert does not think plus/minus will reduce competition, but “people will be more inclined to divide students up into more realistic categories,’’ he said. Grades will probably go down, Dr. Reichert believes: “I think the University is very lenient with grades; the ‘A’ has become meaningless here.” “I don’t think there was any considered debate; there are a number of false implications about its effect,” said Dr. Segal. He continued: “Students who oppose it as detrimental to student interest are responding in a Lavlovian manner.” ‘Starting point’ Speaking in favor of the motion later approved by the Senate to place two students on the Presidential Tenure Review Board, SA President Jon Dandes maintained the proposal “is not to allow students to promote their friends or to usurp power from the faculty, but to develop a mechanism by which students can have some input.” Mr. Dandes continued; “Methods by which - - departments decide (tenure) are so varied that it is impossible for students to develop input. This,” he added, “is a starting point.” The proposal, sponsored by professor of German Michael Metzger, and approved in December by the Faculty-Senate executive committee, was developed through the combined efforts of the SA and Graduate Student Association (GSA), led by Mr. Dandes and former GSA President Joe Poveromo. Leading oppositon to the proposal came from Dr. Lewis, who asked: “What could a student add to the PRB?” “Students could make sure that procedures are followed and could provide additional research,” answered Mr. Poveromo. “What does one student know about any particular case?” Dr. Lewis inquired. ‘‘What does one faculty —continued on page 2— Solkoff on psychology from class to clinic by Amy Dunkin Campus Editor If you think it’s tough lecturing to 600 students at one time without putting two-thirds of them to sleep, then catch the sensational Norman Solkoff sometime. Father of the renowned “Childhood and Adolescence” and “Abnormal Psychology” learning jamborees. Dr. Solkoff combines skills in acting, oratory and even dancing to enhance„the presentation of his material. And he doesn’t even use a microphone. Although, excited by helping “600 students learn something,” Or. Solkoff admittedly feels “very anxious” at the 6f each class. “I worry about making rnyfelf understood. It’s as. if I am looking at a collage. The clotJiihg and facial, expressions all blend together, and I periodically focus on a given individual for feedback,” Dr. Solkoff said. His present “Abnormal” lecture class is one of the few that allows a question-and-answer period. This gives him the chance to clarify specific points and assess the students’ understanding of the subject matter. Students may also attend optional recitation sections, taught by undergraduate psychology majors with several courses in abnormal psychology and field work experience under their belts. The main goal of the recitations. Dr. Solkoff explained, is to personalize the class, although he doesn’t know whether the students’ performances will improve as a result. must Student trends Assessing the characteristics of the present-day student population, Dr. Solkoff noted that students in the 1960’s worked through the universities to deal with social issues outside the mainstream of university life. “They were concerned with acquiring knowledge. With the escalation of the Vietnam War and a government that refused to listen, students said: 'That is outrageous; we must do something’.” However, the job market has tightened significantly, leading students to become more concerned with their future, Dr. Solkoff observed. From the social, more altruistic concerns of the 1960’s comes the present struggle for personal survival, he said, and the intense competition for grades and acceptance to professional schools. “Students are much more boring, less alive, moping, dragging their feet almost as if with Parkinsonism. They are removed from the —continued on page 4 — �PlUS/mmUS. / member know?” replied Mr. Poveromo, ‘‘Well, maybe there shouldn’t even be a PRB,” Dr. Lewis speculated.

A contradiction arose as to the role of a “trusted friend.” A quote was given stating that “a friend means nothing to a person who is tripping.” The quote leads to questions as it stands. The quote was made in the context of “friends” who didn’t know what they were doing.~As examples of when a trusted friend means nothing to a tripper, we can examine the common misconceptions concerning tripping. Friends, who are well-meaning but may have little knowledge concerning an acid bummer, may decide that a cold shower or throwing the person in the snow will terminate the trip. These acts will only compound the existing problems in that now besides a bad acid trip, the friend has to deal with medical shock. The same holds for persons who are unresponsive due to the actions of quaalude. A second misconception concerning an acid trip is that another drug will terminate the trip. Common antidotes (or “false” antidotes) are Vitamin C tablets or valium. If the person who is bumming is feeling paranoid about the effects of the acid (which is a copimon factor in the transition from a good trip to a bummer) and a friend offers the person anothet five or six pills, the effects will probably be negative. . One other misconception that may have arisen concerned a quote from the Long Term Psychological Effects of LSD. The impression created was that adverse reactions to LSD only occurred “among individuals emotionally disturbed, in crisis situations, insecure environments, or unsupervised settings.” This quote concerned research settings ONLY. One cannot completely control the environment in a itort-research environment. Therefore: there »S no way to determine beforehand whether a trip willbe good or bad. If anyone has questions concerning any drug or emotional problem, you can call Sunshine House at 831-4046 or stop in at 106 Winspear • •* * ' ~ Avenue Thank you Mike R.

So why the “oil crisis?” According to Victor Perlo, chairman of the National Economic Commission of the Communist Party, U.S.A., the “oil crisis” is due to forced shortages by the oil companies, nationalization by foreign oil-producing nations, and the general contradictions of the imperialist economic system. Mr. Perlo elaborated on these charges in a talk to over 200 people in Norton Union’s Haas Lounge Tuesday night as part of the ongoing symposium on Capitalism Today. Oil cpmpanies have a monopoly on oil production, Mr. Perlo claimed, and have reduced the supply and increased the prices in order to maximize their profits. Some oil and gas is being diverted to European countries Germany, where shortages are greater, and gas such there is selling for $ 1.25 to $1.50 per gallon. U.S. oil refining companies have cut back production to 82% of capacity, and expect to get fuel up to $.80 per gallon, Mr. Perlo charged. Oil experts expect the major oil companies to be making $20 billion in 1977, $40 billion in 1981 and $80 billion in 198S. CIA and oil In the past, American oil companies have enjoyed windfall profits from oil fields in underdeveloped foreign countries. Until 1960, they paid about a penny (1.2 cents) per gallon of oil from these countries, primarily from the Middle East, Mr. Perlo said. Now most of these countries have nationalized their oil, and are getting 35% to 40% of the final selling price. Because of this, government officials and military generals representing the oil companies have threatened these oil-producing countries with military intervention, if they don’t knuckle under to U.S. demands for control and low prices. As proof that these are not idle threats, Mr. Perlo pointed to the CIA-inspired coup in Iran in 1953 to regain oil concessions for U.S. companies that had been nationalized. More recently is the allegedly CIA-inspired coup in Chile to overthrow the Allende government, because of their nationalization of American copper interests and other resources. In both cases, reactionary governments took power, and allowed U.S. companies to return. Because of nationalization, changes are being made in even the most politically backward countries, like Saudi Arabia, Mr. Perlo said. Nationalization has led to the growth of a working class to process the oil, and this class is pressing the government for basic democratic rights. No socialist crisis The large and powerful oil companies in the U.S. dominate the government, he said. Half of all profits from foreign investments go to oil companies, and so the threats of war on behalf of the oil companies are that much more dangerous, Mr. Perlo declared. In the socialist countries, there is no energy crisis, Mr. Perlo contended. The reasons why the Soviet Union, for example, doesn’t have an energy crisis is because they don’t have investments in foreign countries, because they have developed their own abundant resources, and because tfyey have a planned economy controlled by the workers and the people. Mr. Perlo predicted that the Soviet Union will be the largest oil producer in the world in a few years, and that the people’s standard of living will continue to rise. For the U.S., he predicts a continual downturn, an interruption of the downturn, and then a recession of greater magnitude than the recession of 1969-70. In this country, living standards are dropping and inflation and prices are rising. Real take home pay is 4% lower In January 1974 than in January 1973, he added. The highest shortages are hitting the black and Spanish-speaking communities, with some landlords and gas companies cutting off heating gas in the middle of winter. This, in contrast to the increasing profits of oil and other companies, and the loss of monopoly control in more and more foreign countries, is a sign of the crisis in the imperialistic economic system, Mr. Perlo argued. Oil should be nationalized Independent truck drivers, coal miners, auto workers, other labor bodies, student and community groups are demanding that the American oil industry be nationalized. While Mr. Perlo believes the final solution to these economic crises is the construction of socialism, he and the Communist party see the movement for nationalization of the oil industry as an important first step. Mr. Perlo urged building a movement to press for nationalization, under the control of an elected council of representatives from labor, student and other groups. Victor Perlo received his MA from Columbia in 1933 in Mathematics, and worked as a government economist from 1933 to 1947. He has written numerous books on economics including The Empire of High Finance, and The Unstable Economy. He has written numerous articles for economic journals here and abroad, and is an economic columnist for the Communist party’s newspaper, Daily, World. He is also an instructor at Antioch College in Washington, D.C., and at the Center for Marxist Education in New York. Opening ofEllicott causing need for activities by Richard Deep Spectrum Staff Writer \y v With 3000 students moving into the Ellicott Complex next semester** more and more students will find themselves isolated from the center of University activities. Although the majority of students will be housed on the Amherst Campus, almost all the University’s clubs and- organizations will remain on the Main Street campus until at least 1977. No student clubs will be moved until the Amherst’s Spine Library opens, revealed John Telfer, vice-president for Facilities Planning. One wing of Spine Library, which is scheduled to open in 1977, will be reserved specifically for clubs and other organizations. ■ “We won’t have space available until thenv’fT explaitled Mr. Telfer. ‘‘Consequently, we plan to move the essential services first.” So fap, space'has been reserved only for health services and student affairs. However, Some space has been promised to the Student Association (SA). The Inter-Residence Council (IRC) has also placed a written request for Space in Ellicott. Without being definite, Mr. Telfer claimed this was “ho major problem.” Student Association moving SA has submitted a 20-page list of space proposals to Facilities Planning. These include requests for office space, cafeteria arrangements and game rooms. “Nothing is definite yet,” explained Howie Schapiro, SA’s North Campus Co-ordinator. “We’d like to arrange things so we can operate more closely with IRC. For at least the next three years, we are going to have to do a lot.” Jess Rainer, IRC vice-president, said services and activities “At this point, Sub-Board has no plans to move physically to the North Campus,” said Steve Blumenkrantz, executive director of Sub-Board. “What we are tor to co-ordinate Campus. Mark Carlin, director of Community Action Corps (CAC), explained: “There is no community out there. The Ellicott Complex is a total living center. People never have to leave the building. As a consequence, they are not going to be as aware of the problems of Buffalo,” Mr. Carlin said. “They won’t be breathing the air, they won’t see the East Side; we expect a real problem in recruiting volunteers. Transportation is another big problem.” CAC has not requested any space at Amherst for the coming semester. They will, however, ask for offices in Spine Library in 1977. We will expand with the University, Mr. Carlin said. / They plan three area councils, one pach for Goodyear-Clement, Governor’s Residence and Ellicott. In addition, IRC also has plans for a store in Ellicott. This re-arrangement should hopefully eliminate problems faced by Governor’s Residence students this year regarding a lack of IRC activities at Amherst.” By not actually moving, Sub-Board feels it can get around the “space crunch” but still make sure there are sufficient activities available to Amherst residents. Strangely enough, one organization is not at all eager to move to the North Plans for Norton What will become of Norton Union? A complete study is presently under way by Facilities Planning to determine how the Union might best be used. It may be turned into -a communications center for the publications and radio stations, or it may remain as a union for the health science students who will attend classes on the Main Campus. “The center of gravity of the University will tip from the Main Campus to the North Campus in 1977,” said Mr. Telfer. “That is when the first major library [Spine] will open and the President’s office will move in.” But for the 3000 students who will be living on the North Campus next semester, the center may tip toward Amherst a lot sooner CAC elections Community Action Corps is holding elections for the following positions: Director, 1st assistant Director, 2nd assistant Director and Treasurer. Applications are also being accepted for coordinators in the areas of Day Care, Drug and Youth Counseling, Health Care, Educations, Legal and Welfare, Social Service and Recreation, and Action.

Page three . �Joint efforts for alcoholics «r by Sparky Alzamora Spectrum Staff Writer Ron and Bridget share the same problem: they are the husband and daughter of a recovering alcoholic. Less than two years ago, their lives were shattered by a wife and mother whose drinking almost caused the break-up Of their family. How each person began to slowly piece their lives together and overcome individual difficulties was related on “Cop Out Great American Pastime," broadcast on radio last WKBW Sunday evening. Hostess Susanne Cook briefly described the history of the Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) organization, and the ALANON and ALATEBN programs which derived from AA. Alcoholics Anonymous was formed in 1935 for people who could no longer cope with their drinking problem and live normal lives. — . Relative therapy Soon after, the spouses of AA members met to discuss their own problems, and subsequently adopted the AA’s twelve steps and slogans. These random meetings of spouses increased significantly over the years, and ALANON, a group for the spouses of alcoholics, came into existence around 1951. The children of alcoholics also began organizing meetings and formed ALATEEN in 1957. Bridget joined a chapter of the ALATEEN program four months ago and has experienced “great peace of mind” since then. She defined the purpose of the program as “coping with the alcoholic parent and living your own life.” Bridget enjoys being with the people in the ALATEEN program because “they all have the same problem in their home.” “We all have questions we ask each other,” said Bridget. “When a new person enters ALATEEN, the first step is to admit that he or she is powerless over the alcoholic. You can only help the alcoholic by helping yourself,” she emphasized. Ron has belonged to ALANON for over a year and has found that “everybody outside the program can’t give me advice what to do.” He admitted he had no control over his wife until he convinced her to go to AA. At the same time, he began to attend the Saturday night meetings of ALANON. Recently, he graduated into the AA program to deal with his own drinking problem. Referring to ALANON sponsors, Ron said: “We have a sponsor who will come out anytime of the day or night. Once I craved a drink at 1 a.m. and the sponsor came out and stayed with me until five in the morning.” Ron credited the success'of ALANON to “an awful lot of love and no phoniness. People try to straighten out their lives the best they can.” Asked whether or not she had ever experienced feelings of insanity, Bridget replied that there were times she felt she was “going crazy.” She explained: “Some teenagers are confused because they think they’re the cause of their parent’s problem.” Since her involvement with ALATEEN, Bridget’s school work has steadily improved. “I’m getting along with my teachers now,” she said, “and I’m looking at life differently.” Guilt feelings There were times, however, when Bridget felt like running away. But she would always have second thoughts because she felt “guilty” about leaving her mother alone. She could never have friends in the house because of her mother’s condition: “I covered up by saying she had an awful cold.” All her girlfriends disappeared and she turned to male companions for the caring she needed. Being the youngest in her family meant additional hardships for Bridget when her father left home more than once. “She had to take care of her mother constantly,” said Ron, who eventually returned time and time again. ALANON and ALATEEN changed all that and people now visit Ron’s family all the time. “There’s a beautiful glow of Solkoffon psychology mainstream of intellectual thinking,” Dr. Solkoff conceded sadly. Attributing the overt increase in psychology majors to the availability of jobs, Dr. Solkoff said psych courses are often “the student’s first attempt to deal with his personal problems.” He also cited the relevance of psychoanalytic theory in relation to other majors, especailly literature, criticism, and theater. Prevention —continued from page 1 — Dr. Solkoff indicated that psychologists are moving “looking more closely at environmental and learning factors.” He said developmental psychology is placing greater emphasis on cognitive development “a la Piaget” than on Freud’s more traditional, psychosexual development model. Dr. Solkoff criticized the Nixon Administration for substantially slashing allocations for mental health research: “Conservative and right-wingers are suspicious of psychologists. They think psychologists are trying to brainwash people into believing in another system,” he asserted. He pointed out that a five-year grant to teach human behavior to medical students was eliminated at this University. A curtailment of federally-sponsored research programs, particularly at the universities, leaves no money to innovate, he said. “Government will set the tone of research by responding to an instant political issue,” Dr. Solkoff maintained. He said once a research “fad” is established, money is pumped in, but then the fad is dropped as quickly as it was acquired and therefore no one can do a thorough-going analysis. away from the Freudian model and love in these people,” he said. Another step in the AA procedure is to make a searching inventory of yourself. Bridget realized she had a lot of self-pity and more hate than she cared to think about. “I hated everybody, everybody jn my family.” Ron found it more difficult to take this inventory. He regretted all the selfishness he exhibited during his lifetime, and had to learn to give freely “and not expect rewards.” Due to the ALANON and ALATEEN programs, Ron and Bridget are well on their way to restoring normalcy to their family life. They realized that in order to help the one they loved, they had to first care for themselves. accept a research fad. ■ ..I Labelling the recent “Exorcist” craze'a “response to despair,” Dr. Solkoff said the same thing explains the interest in the mystical personality theorist, Carl Jung. “We have reached the point of a practically computerized society. The disappointment with technology has led people in frustration to look outside science to better their lives,” Dr. Solkoff observed. He continued: “Our lives are miserable, enormously pessimistic. In looking for explanations, go out of the realm of the physical world to possession by the devil.” 'Since organized religion seems to have lost its appeal, Dr. Solkoff predicted that people will become more mystical and turn to the occult, palmistry, and parapsychology. “Beliefs spring up at times when people are disillusioned. Germany after World War 1 offered explanations to the people who felt most devastated,” he ' elaborated. I « Discussing modern trends in clinical and developmental psychology. Dr. Solkoff said the major thrust is in the area of prevention. Psychologists have been exploring the area of community psychology, looking at various social structures and familyi-elations and how they affect development. “There is a feeling that hospitalization may result in rapid deterioration,” he commented. “The movement is away from the hospital and toward putting mental health patients in community surroundings.” Researcher as well Mental health facilities in Western New York vary Dr. Solkoff is presently involved in three areas of enormously from outmoded to modern approaches, Dr. Solkoff explained. State hospitals are undergoing serious research. In one study, he is attempting to enrich the environments of premature infants by using visual, challenges and may be dismantled in favor of Headstart stopped clinics, believes, store-front he that neighborhood adding auditory, and tactile stimulation to hopefully compensate Terming the Head Start program a “political issue and for presumed deficiencies, and eliminate problems before there are “terrible treatment facilities for children.” An “interesting para-professional movement” has a fad,” he said there was a proliferation of programs they grow older. Trying to offer evidence to contradict the work of grown in Western New York which “places people on ranging from incompetent to competent; and after several career ladders progressing from the lowest mental health years. Head Start has received a negative evaluation. So the Arthur Jensen, Dr. Solkoff is also investigating the workers to the professionals,” Dr. Solkoff said. This government concluded that early intervention in children's differences between black and white IQ scores. Dr. Jensen arrangement deals with the relative shortage of education doesn’t work. But the programs were just proposed that blacks score lower than whites on IQ tests due to genetic differences. highly-skilled workers by allowing nurse clinicians and terrible, Dr. Solkoff stated. Although he cautioned against doing research based Finally, through a bettery of personality tests issued other para-professionals to assume responsibility, under supervision, for the primary care of patients. “It’s not on instant political change, Dr. Solkoff maintained: to students in their first and last years of professional one’s degree that makes him a good therapist,” Dr. Solkoff “University faculty, looking for funds, jump on the graduate school, Dr. Solkoff is attempting to determine said, “but feeling, understanding, and knowledge of bandwagon.” Because publishing is still so important, he the attitudes towards death and dying among prospective claimed, faculty are prepared to redirect their activities to doctors, lawyers, etc. interpersonal relationships.” ANNOUNCING The House of Representatives has passed their bill to raise Veterans benefits with a vote of 384 0 or wore information see f mm mm U.B.

The number of men and women was approximately equal, with a large group of minority students present as well. Indeed, the conference was a "liberal” one, in both the complimentary and derogatory sense of the word. It would not adopt resolutions calling for President Nixon’s immediate resignation, but it did adopt resolutions calling for increased minority group representation on the NSL board of directors. Resolutions supporting the sale of alcoholic beverages to people over 18 years of age passed without debate. But a resolution endorsing a campaign against the production of the B-l bomber met with dismal failure. It was argued and eventually agreed that the NSL, since it represents over two million students nationwide, should not take stands on issues as potentially divisive as that. The problem then, as always, is that the resolutions become watered down. As lobbying moves into the forefront of effective political change, so must the National Student Lobby. It has. Students have realized that the street tactics of the middle-to-Iate 1960’s did not affect any politicians. It is in the “back rooms” where policy is really made, through the intensive efforts of the stereotyped cigar-chomping lobbyists. Students, if they invade the back rooms, can affect their futures, as well as affecting real social and political change. Congressmen listen to their constituents they have to. Each person that has contact with the Congressman has ten friends, who each have ten friends, by Marc Jacobson City Editor Although last year’s National Student Lobby conference met with only dubious success, the 1974 NSL conference was more productive, It had its shortcomings, butthe net result was that student influence at the highest levels of government was felt and will continue to be felt for years to come. The third annual conference -in Washington, D.G. could be termed a turning point for students nationwide. After students from across the country had met with their own Congressional representatives, after Capitol Hill was buzzing with questions about the “Student Lobby” buttons, it was revealed that well over 400 Congressmen from, both .the Senate and the House had met with students during the four-day conference. The Lobby took -adopting resolutions on critical social new direction issues received official recognition as Senator Hubert Humphrey inserted NSC chairman Willis Edwards’ opening remark? into the Congressional Record after praising the students’ efforts. - - Bourgeois Students Naturally, any convention of one thousand “student leaders” is bound to evolve into battle of egos, and those competing egos helped deteriorate the Lobby’s business meetings. But somehow, through the amazing diplomacy of several members of the NSL board of directors, business was completed. The convention plodded along, and students eventually became educated in fields in which they had previously had limited knowledge, particularly regarding financial aid programs. They approached their but informed. They Congressmen, apprehensive, awed left enthused, at ease, and with the realization that the people in Congress are just like anyone else; as Layton Olson said: “They put their pants on one leg at a time.” — etc. When elections are decided by margins of less than a thousand votes, every inquiry, every plea must be sincerely considered by the politician. The National Student Lobby can become the vehicle through which students can become a viable political force. The New York delegation was part of the most radical region of the country’s six regions. Both the impeachment — and abortion resolutions were proposed by the New York delegation; the amnesty resolution was proposed by the delegates from Maine. All three resolutions were ultimately passed by each state’s entire region, and met with an extremely favorable reaction when presented to the conference. A delegation of about eight students met with Congressman Jack Kemp (R., Hamburg). Representative Kemp was extremely receptive, and his position on the House Education and Labor committees is deemed critical for efforts to increase financial aid to students and eliminate the youth differential from the minimum wage bill. Under the guise of controlling inflation, the youth differential would allow employers to pay students 80% of the minimum wage. Mr. Kemp assured the students that the youth differential had been effectively killed except and said the for some pilot projects around -the country Education committee was reporting out a massive aid bill to Congress that supported nearly all the National Student - — * Lobby s positions. ? Make it work On the other hand. Senator James Buckley’s aide was very hostile toward the students who visited his office. His position on the abortion issue was the most controversial one, which led to the demise of the meeting. Students from New York State suggested the immediate formation of a state-wide organization with the sole purpose of insuring victory for Senator Buckley’s opponent in 1976. Since the National Student Lobby has become so effective in so short a time, it is essential that this University become involved at all levels. The State University of Buffalo was once considered a leading institution for “student radicals” and political change. We should return to that status, although through more legitimate means. All the various student associations should join the Lobby (minimum cost $150) so this University’s 20,000-plus students are adequately and properly heard in Washington. On the undergraduate level in particular, SA’s National Affairs Coordinator should maintain constant, close contact with the Lobby’s Washington office, and inform the students about what is happening. The National Affairs coordinator should organize regional meetings, facilitate communication, and assist the Lobby in recruiting additional schools as members. Only with a broad base of representation will students begin to gain recognition as a viable political force to be reckoned with. � ���� ����������� Bishop Newman Student Council Proudly presents University Photo Harry Chapin in concert/ OPEN TODAY AND TOMORROW 10 a.m.—6 p.m. Call 831*4113 or come to room 355 Norton Hall- Ask for Larry or Kim.

Over 90% of tenure decisions are made at the departmental level, and it is there that students must redouble their efforts to have greater input. SA President-elect Frank Jackalone must work to provide greater student representation on departmental tenure committees. And despite cynical beliefs to the contrary, personal letters from students evaluating their instructors are carefully considered by departments as a measure of weighing the tenure candidate's teaching abilities weighing teaching abilities. — — Although adding two students to the President's Tenure Review Board is a welcome step, it is not nearly as important as increasing efforts at the departmental level where tenure decisions are really made to strengthen the student voice in deciding which instructors remain at this University to teach them. six The Spectrum Friday, 8 March 1974 . . by William S. Allen — Tenure: start at the bottom have The addition of two non-voting students to the Presidential Tenure Review Board which was wisely approved by the is an important Faculty-Senate Tuesday breakthrough but far from a cure-all. The presence of two students at Presidential-level tenure discussions will undoubtedly help to keep the procedure "honest." They will also convey student feelings on particular instructors being considered for tenure, hopefully stemming the tide of immensely popular teachers being let go for nebulous reasons or lack of publishing prowess. Finally, it represents an which admission by the Faculty-Senate jealously guards its unilateral role in that students should academic decisions a non-voting one, in have a voice, albeit instructors are granted deciding which tenure. Despite its high-sounding name, however, the Presidential Tenure Board handles perhaps 5 or 10% of the tenure,decisions that Editor’s Note: This Guest Opinion is being reprinted from April 1973. Some of Dr. Allen’s comments are aimed at the continual grading scale between 0.3 and 4.3 proposed, along with the plus/minus option, to the Faculty-Senate last spring. — — The current controversy over grades is another example of the inability of the University, which examines everything else in the world critically, to apply the same standards to itself. A history of grading practices would probably show that they once had justifiable functions from which they have now since degenerated into the absurd role they now perform. One thinks of Max Weber’s famous dictum; “The rationality of the parts becomes the irrationality of the whole.” Exposures of functional absurdity sometimes appear when men who are not part of an institution are asked to use its hallowed standards. Some years ago Robert Frost was persuaded to give a seminar at Yale. His method was simply to have students spend one evening a week with him drinking cider and talking about poems. But towards the end of the semester, a university official nervously informed Frost that he would have to assign a grade to each , student. Later Frost was asked how he did this: , a “I just asked each one to write an‘e$saV ’on ‘What 1 Warded from this course’.” ‘And what did they write?” “Well, one wrote: ‘Not a damned thing.’ I gave him a ‘B’,” “Why didn’t you give him an ‘A’?” . . “He misspelled ‘damned’.” So let us begin with fundamentals. All grades are subjective evaluations and have little positive effect upon the learning process. It is true that as threats they may drive students to work harder; they may also produce anxiety or rebellion, however, and so may impede learning as much as they promote it. The best teachers would prefer to give no grades, desire simply to teach, want students who are eager to learn because they are interested in the ' .* ., , ' subject. That does not preclude evaluation of a student’s work. After all, a student pays me to tell him what he’s doing wrong so that he can learn to do it right. But that’s between him and me; 1 am acting as his technical advisor. Once grades enter in, I become a repotter to the outside world about my students’ abilities. I know that assessment may become ultimately necessary (my students may wind up teaching my children and I don’t want my children to be taught by incompetents), but this should be kept as far from my relationship with a student as possible. The ideal situation would be one in which a separate agency does the testing. That way students and teachers could become allies, as they should be. In short, the grading process works against the teaching process. Secondly, grades are impossible to determine with objective precision. 1 know prretty clearly who sould get an “A” and who should get an “F.” The fine distinctions in between are the ones we agonize over, partly because we know they are largely meaningless in evaluative terms, but we also know that they will acquire an independent life which will be used to peg the student in his real life. This docs not mean that I determine grades casually. On the contrary, 1 mark my students’ exams and papers in percentages so that instead of getting, say, a “B—” from me, they get an “81” or an “82” on the tests I return to them. But when it comes time to assign a final grade, 1 remember that the sum of subjective assessments has not become any more than it was originally, even if it has acquired a kind of bogus precision through being expressed in the mystical language of percentages. But the computer doesn’t know that. 7 1 should also like to note that I do have standards 1 insist upon. I take my subject seriously and expect students to also (in fact, I would be cheating them otherwise). So my classes have regularly had about ten percent “F’s” and the number of “drops” from my courses is about double that. I am not going to pretend that a student has learned the minimum necessary amount about my subject when he hasn’t. So what shall we do about grades? Ideally, 1 would like to abolish them completely in favor of a system of comprehensive final examinations to earn the degree. But that would require a national reform. As for what SUNY/Buffalo can do now, I propose that we should require from the faculty only three grades: “adequate, , , Grades are arbitrary labels. They are nothing more than an alphabetic expedient: since faculty "cannot possibly write detailed, meaningful evaluations of hundreds of students in a course, the approximate labels of A, B and C must suffice. The view that plusses and minuses provide a “fairer” yardstick of academic performance is an illusion; an extra plus this semester is an extra minus next semester, and the gains and losses will even out over four years. Defending his plus/minus plan in the Faculty-Senate, Biology professor Harold Segal argued: "By making smaller the difference between grades," plus/minus will “lessen competition because the prize is smaller." Unfortunately, he is dead wrong, Instead, plus/minOS will increase competition for grades because there will be more cut-off points to strive for, as in struggling for a B-plus instead of a B. This, of course, means that students will be competing for the tiny added benefit of a plus, or .3 out of 4.0, a figure which exposes the whole concept as absurditv The Faculty-Senate has completely ignored the concerns of students by hastily granting instructors this plus/minus grading option. Although more than half the students said they were satisfied with the present ABCDF grading system in last October s referendum even as an alternative, almost as many voters preferred the grade-less pass/fail/honors system as favored plus/minus the Senate totally ignored that sentiment by hastily approving the would-be panacea of plus/minus. In the intense competition to get into medical, law and graduate schools, fighting for grades has become a career goal for many students. The grade-consciousness fostered by grad school competition has led some particularly those labelled B students because they got two more test questions to ask that wrong than those rated A narrow the and be used to plusses minuses Unfortunately, between letters. this logic gap not only presumes that grades are an accurate measure of learning (which they are not), but implies that high grades are the ultimate goal of education. Perhaps the argument that grades are arbitrary is not relevant to the science major whose career, as he sees it, depends on his grade-point average, arbitrary or not. But what is most distasteful about the Senate plan is that the option of using a plus/minus grade is given solely to the faculty member not the student. If the student could decide (as with pass/fail), those students who felt that plusses and minuses provided a "fairer" in ».< inadequate,” and occasionally, “very good.” I want exactly those terms because anything else is pretentious and also puts more emphasis upon grades than they should have. “Excellent” might be permitted if the instructor is limited to using it once for every 1000 students, which is about the frequency with which abtual excellence appears. As for the entrie idea of grading people on a 37-point scale (from 0.3 for “D—” to 4.0 for “A”) as was proposed to the Faculty Senate last year, it is a complete sell-out to the computerization of humanity and is also pretentious and arrogant. It is'a measure of how brain-washed our students have become that the Student Assembly should have accepted it (analogous to slaves insisting that their chains be vinyl-coated so they won’t chafe so much). I recognize the problem of discontinuous scales, the injustice that occurs when a student with a “C+” is abruptly segmented from one with a “B—,” but the answer is not more spurious distinctions but fewer. A scale as fine as 37 points lays claims to differentiations more subtle than 1 am capable of in honesty and humility, and I challenge any faculty member here or elsewhere to show that he can do a better job of differentiating than 1 can. Let us therefore be honest about what we can distinguish (and in the process minimize the faculty’s role as social-economic policemen). We can do that by adopting a simple and humble system of assessments: “adequate, inadequate,” and “very good.” �Through the Looking Glass ■ Birth Control crisis To all students: Due to arbitrary decisions by the school administration and Albany, all funds for the U.B. Birth Control Clinic have suddenly been cut off. This has caused a crisis situation in the financial maintenance of the Clinic. In order to pay back bills, order supplies, and maintain a working, responsible medical facility, we have been forced as a last resort to raise our visit fees. As of March 1, all initial visits are $7.00, and all followup checkups after 6-months are $S.00, both as money orders. Supply prices are presently not increasing. We sincerely hope these are only temporary increases and following financial stability, prices will again be reduced. The staff of the U.B. Birth Control Clinic are very distressed about the need to pass the crisis on to the students. However, this is our only alternative short of closing down the Clinic and terminating its services to students. Any questions, please call 831-3522, Monday thru Friday, 12 to 4 p.m. U.B. Birth Control Clinic Why Law School? To the Editor. I have read The Spectrum’s two recent articles concerning law school, and I am struck by their peculiarly mechanistic style. Much is made of the time one can expect to devote to the study of law. A description of the tedious but simple application process with the attendant loathesome LSAT which I recall so well consumes over one-half of a page. I believe it behooves anyone who purports to advise prospective law students to ask some more basic and important questions and identify certain assumptions. How is law peculiarly appropriate or inappropriate in resolving various problems? If you contemplate a legal education as a means toward effecting social betterment, is the adversary context the most effective means for bringing about change? Do you assume that attorneys make a great deal of money? Are you aware that a professional school makes demands far different both quantitatively and qualitatively, from the undergraduate experience? I earnestly feel that only by confronting these sorts of questions can one intelligently make the very important decision about how one may wish to continue one’s education. Roger J. Schwarz SUNYAB Faculty of Law and Jurisprudence - We agree that the questions you be asked, and invite other comments from the University community and Law School on the relevance of a legal education.

It is reported that 44 graduate assistantships in Arts and Letters are being eliminated as a result of a financial crisis: a deficit in that Faculty was incurred when the Provost recommended the appointment of 11 tenured professors for whom he had no available budgetary lines. Is this true? If so, is the situation peculiar to this one Faculty, or is it a practice or policy in other faculties and schools at SUNYAB? CRAZY you *ay! Ha, 1 can prove all of those stories and incidents that I have related to you yet, are the God’s honest truth. Call me mad they called other crusaders and prophets mad they told wild stories, fantasmagoric creations, outlandish tales but they told the truth, just like me. I am only a simple man, a decent man, an honest craftsman called in to apply my talents in carpentry. What I have to say might land me in the nut-house, but it’s my duty to tell what I saw, anyway, if I don’t tell someone soon, I might'not be around to tell my story. It was a simple carpentry job on a magnificent white home; yeah, it was in Washington not far from that house in Georgetown where those two priests died. My partner and I were called in to remodel a room that had formerly been used for an elaborate tape system. The people of the house at first were quite nice to us, giving us drinks, asking our opinion on various national issues, ya know, just being, plain folks. Then the weird stuff began to unbalance my sense of reality. At five, ya know, quittin’ time, they wouldn’t let us go home. Said something like national security, exectuvie I’m really not too sure really what the privilege but those crewcuts in those hell he said monkey suits came across a lot stronger then this guy who was trying to make it perfectly clear. So Fred and me (Fred’s my partner) decided to stay overnight ya know, why not we got free booze, free food; all in all, a really nice deal. Then it started! It was at dinner we were eating steak and stuff while the owner of the house was eating cottage cheese and ketchup, when all of a sudden these weird noises startdd coming out of it was horrible, indescribable.

Well, that’s what 1 thought until he began to change shape and turn into . . . into . . . dammit he turned into the devil. He only stayed in that form for a few minutes but after that happened, I knew that he had been possessed by the devil and I had to get help. He left the room after tearing down the Constitution of the United States and using it for toilet paper. I’ve never seen a man so full of shit before; it seemed to ooze from every pore of his body. Soon as he left, I climbed out of the window and ran to you. Father, I don’t know what to do can the Church do anything to help him? If the Church can’t help him, what can the average person do to protect himself from such a menace? I heard that the Church has a ritual that it’s call exorcism. can rid a person of the Devil Would it be . . . aaagggghhh! Poscript: With these words, the unknown man was seized by a fit and died. After consultation with other priests and distinguished members of society, we studied the allegations and found that an ancient ritual was needed.

Then all of a sudden, one of his I really am daughters stood up and . . . and embarrassed to say what she did. She . . pissed on the floor while shouting, “Stick your Cox up your Jaworski.” Well, me and Fred didn’t know what to do, us being good Catholics and Republicans at the same time. We decided to go downstairs to the bowling alleys and roll a few, like we were back in Kelley’s. Fred won the toss and bowled first; as he was movin’ down the alley, his head twisted completely around, and instead of the ball goin’ down the alley - his head flew off his shoulders and rolled down toward the pins. 1 dunno, even if it was a strike, 1 don’t know whether it’s legal or not. Anyway, I turned around and there was Fred with a bowling ball for a head. No kiddin, I wouldn’t joke with something as serious as bowling. 1 ran upstairs to get help; I wasn’t going to hang around Fred, not him lookin’ the way he did. As I got back upstairs, the moaning increased and became mixed with gibberish and words that seemed to make no sense.

'I JUST PICKID THK LESSER OF TWO IVILS—JUST LIKE YOU YANKS DID IN YOUR LAST ILICTIONI' Editorial policy is determined by the Editor-in-Chief q Friday, 8 March 19?4\*The Spectrum Tage seven �An optimistic outlook for unionization of workers by Paul Krehbiel Spectrum Staff Writer A drive to organize cafeteria workers here is underway by the'TIotel, Motel, Restaurant, Cafeteria, Luncheonette and Hospital Employees Union, Local 66, AFL-CIO. About 90 cafeteria workers, primarily women, serve the entire University community, preparing food and cleaning up the facilities. Many of these women are the sole supporters of their families, and, after five to ten years of service to the University, are averaging about $2.50 per hour. . The recent unionizing effort came about when cafeteria workers on this campus learned of the contract that cafeteria workers just received at Buffalo State College. As the organizing effort began here, the union charged that the University Administration threatened to fire any 48 hours workers who joined. However, Len Snyder, assistant vice president of the Faculty-Student Association, responded by saying that these charges have “absolutely no substance.” They are “absolutely false,” he added. Mr. Cariola, President of the 3000 member cafeteria workers union in Western New York, pointed out that it is illegal to fire or discriminate against employees for joining unions or for union activities. Contract terms Ten years ago. Local 66 waged a legal battle on behalf of cafeteria workers at this University. The workers were laid off during the summer and were unable to collect unemployment insurance. The cafeteria workers union took the case to court, at their own expense, and won. This set a precedent in New York State: employees working for non-profit institutions are guaranteed unemployment insurance. Shortly thereafter, it was passed into federal law. The two-year contract recently negotiated for cafeteria workers at Buffalo State guarantees wage increases and job security. Wages range from $2.75 to $4.00 per hour, and include increases of 30 to 45 cents, depending upon the job classification. All job openings must be posted so that employees can bid for them, before new people are hired. In addition, workers are laid off and rehired in accordance with job classification, meaning that someone can’t take another person’s job who is in a higher classification. There is no loss of seniority for sickness, accidents, or childbirth, up to six months, or longer if required. If employees with at least a year of work are laid off up to a year, they retain all of their seniority if rehired. Insurance supplied The union can intervene on behalf of an employee if the University attempts to discharge him or her unjustly. At Buffalo State/ there are three union stewards, elected by the members in each department, who take employee grievances of sole Buff State slates marathon Is your insomnia coupled with boundless energy? A cure to this affliction my be found at Buffalo State College this weekend. The State Titans Fraternity is sponsoring a 48 hour dance marathon beginning at 8 p.m. tonight and lasting through Sunday, March 10. The couple with the greatest dancing stamina will be awarded the grand prize, a well-earned vacation in Florida for two. The purpose of the marathon is to raise money for the Muscular Dystrophy Associations of America. Each participating couple solicits sponsors for their hoofing trek who donate funds for the number of hours the couple pledges to dance. Interested couples are advised to ask friends, local stores, and neighborhood bars to sponsor them. “Often,” said one of the maraorganizers, “a local bar will sponsor someone if they wear T-shirts with the bar’s name imprinted on them or the bars will arrange to have something like three cents off every beer sold one night to go toward sponsoring a couple.” Couples may sign up between 6 and 7 p.m. on the first floor ofthe Buffalo State student union tonight. To enter, a couple must have solicited at least ten dollars from sponsors which is payable when they register. In case of a tie, the first prize will be awarded to the couple which raised the greatest amount in donations. Couples may punch in and out of the dance floor for any amounts of time and for the die hards, there will be two 15-20 minute mandatory breaks on Saturday and Sunday mornings. There will be a band and refreshments around the clock as well as other entertainment to raise donations. For instance, last year one student was given a certain amount of money for each goldfish he would swallow (he managed to gulp down eight) and the band drew in more money by performing in their underwear. There will be prizes for every couple that enters and the dance floor will be open to all spectators. For more information call 862-6511 or stop by the Student Union at Buffalo State this evening from 6 to 7. to the management. The union contract at Buffalo State also states that any work done over eight hours a day, is to be paid time and one-half. From one minute to 30 minutes overtime will count as 30 minutes overtime pay. If an employee is called iii, and Then sent home, he will receive four hours pay. If they begin work and are sent home, they receive a full day’s pay. Employees get eleven holidays a year with pay, and get double time for working on any holiday. One sick day per month is given with pay up to ten days per year. One year of service gets two weeks paid vacation. Five years gets three weeks, and ten years gets four weeks. An insurance plan, paid in full by the management, will go into effect July 1, 1974. Uniforms and meals (one every four hours of work) must be supplied by Buffalo State College. The union is requesting that students support their cafeteria workers in the organizing drive here. The union, local 66, can be reached at 890 Main Street, Buffalo; 882-4012. All calls will be kept confidential. Working to increas awareness ofrails In an effort to improve the quality of rail service in the upstate New York area, a group of concerned riders have banded together to form the New York Association of Railroad Passengers. The group’s twofold effort will be directed towards “increasing public awareness of the importance of railroad passenger service,”, and overseeing the management and maintainance of rail lines in the Amtrak system. “We are particularly concerned with service in the upstate New York area where np direct connection can be made tb Cleveland, Chicago and points West or to Boston and the New England region.” Many of the passenger lines fell into disuse during the years when the nation’s railroads attempted to discourage passengers from taking the train because it was an unprofitable enterprise. The line to Boston for example was terminated when an eleven-mile stretch of track was destroyed. The groups intend to put pressure on Amtrack to channel its increased profits into service improvements. They are urging the public to write their congressman, Transportation Secretary Claude Brinegar or Joseph Schmidt, Amtrak’s director of Planning and Development, letting them know the need for increased passenger service in this area. The Upstate New York Association of Railroad Passengers is located in Rochester, P.O. Box 6608, River Campus Station. UAB ATTENTION!!

One can only suppose surely not, if the that this "effort" has not yet begun production they are dishing up this month is any indication of the project's progress. The menu through March 24th features There's A Girl in My Soup. Directed by Stuart Bishop, it is a bland and overcooked and stringy. It's about as tasteless meal crude as a Big Mac, without the Mac's graces of being fun and inexpensive. Furthermore, it lacks any nutritional value and, to complete this rather gastronomical analogy, there is an unpleasant aftertaste bordering on indigestion. Soup is a comedy (Hmmmm. ..) about a vain American gourmet in England who gets involved with a youpg and incidental girl to the amusement of his editor/friend and the chagrin of her linoleum - — layer/boyfriend. ’ these days of “free love," there isn't even that any more. Frankly, the play lacks wit; only very occasionally will some peep through the dumb, soupy lines. In speaking of love affairs, the star posits; "It’s better to end [them] with a bang than with a whimper." Admittedly, it is a little crude, but it is the only line that even approaches wit in the entire first act. Given some sensitive acting performances, the play might be moderately successful. Low key, dry portrayals could have beefed up this thin soup. Having been a popular performer for many years, star Van Johnson must have instinctively sensed that something was wrong with the writing. Instead of trying to find a way to make the play work as a stuffy comedy, Johnson chooses to abandon it altogether. Whatever he may think he's doing, he is definitely not playing the role of food expert Robert Danvers or any other role, for that matter. In fact, he is not acting so much as he is simply appearing. Condescending, as it were, to show himself to the Buffalo yokels; strutting like a comic ostrich allowing the sparrows to marvel at his famous feathers. He young, sunny funny-man, but now it is only unattractive. And considering that he's not all that popular anymore (in spite of the huge ticket sales], a little sad. His years of experience do give him some sense of character, though. At one point, he is to cut up bread, and he slices it in small, neat pieces just like a food expert might. But when we're reduced to having to compliment Van Johnson on his bread cutting, then . . . well, that is sad. As Marion, the girl in the soup, Vicki Kaywood cares almost as little about the play as Johnson does. Marion is supposed to be fluffy and puffy and light and sexy, as well as intuitively discerning. Kaywood is just too labored and studied. She doesn't seem to realize that she's playing in a small, intimate theater. In her ponderous portrayal, a hideous grunt passes for characterization. The most offensive actor that I've seen in a long time is Christopher Burgess as Marion's hippy-boyfriend. His moves are so broad and exaggerated that you'd think he was either doing bad mime or a show for myopic children. From a purely technical standpoint, this British accent is either so thick or so poorly-contrived that he is usually is vain. incoherent. Wrong vein Once again, we've got to be careful. The character Robert Danvers is vain, but that is not what I am objecting to (although vain characters often give rise to cheap, easy laughs). What is offensive is Johnson's pompousity. He is convinced that he is more important than the play or, to extrapolate, anything else. An instance of his vanity comes to mind. Twice during the evening, he drops his drawers, revealing gaudy undershorts. The point is to show how vain Danvers is. Fine; a little corny, but let that go by. What Johnson does, then, is to crank his neck around, look straight at the audience, and raise his eyes to the ceiling. He is letting us know that he is not really vain; that this is all in fun just a play, you see. Really, he is saying, he's much more you're too vain to loveable than Danvers. Damnit, Van portray vanity. The thought of an audience believing anything bad about you is just too much for you to bear. And that gala bowing display at the end milking the audience's applause way past their endurance was so embarassing. The menu says soup and we get ham.

Now, to be fair I should mention that the production's main character is an old-fashioned guy who lives on old movies and tired lines. But in such cases, the character should be corny, not the entire play.

When Moak had the small role of a bishop in February's production of Flint, I praised him and hoped he'd get a bigger role next time. As Danver's editor/friend, Andrew Hunter, in Soup, Moak gets a chance to show us something of what he can . do. Although the character is practically invisible for the two acts, Moak single-handedly almost saves the third from the painful acting of Burgess, the over-acting of Kaywood, and the non-acting of Johnson. Those cheap jokes in the dialogue he converts to just-audible musings; little asides to himself, throw-away lines. He shows us he cares about his role he's thought it through in terms of the play as whole. Bob Moak as Andrew Hunter is absolutely charming* Of course, in a two-hour play, a single performance can even not redeem the rest. It's hard to imagine anyone liking this play. Only a the most philistine middle-brow she would get to see fanatical Van-fan might be happy Johnson in the flabby flesh.

April brings Moliere's The Miser, starring Donald Moffat and directed by Warren Enters. �/ Stere* $ense by Mark Tobak "A/B test" is the standard term used tc refer to a direct comparison of two audio components, such as two pairs of speakers, two cartridges, or two amplifiers, where all the other variables, that is, the other components, are held constant. An A/B test involves listening to one component for a time and then switching, instantly, (through amplifier controls or a separate switching device) to another component. A primary point in insuring a fair andunbiased A/B test is to audition components at identical volumes. It is one of the peculiarities of human hearing that in choosing between two reproduced sounds, the louder sound is consistently more appealing to the car, assuming there are no large differences in frequency response or distortion levels between the two sounds. This means that if you simply switch from speaker to speaker in random comparisons that it is likely that the loudest speaker, that is, the most efficient one, will sound the best. Limit: two The only way to overcome the problem of differing efficiencies in speaker auditions is to listen to only two speakers at a time (a wise precaution in any case) and reset the volume control on the amplifier so that each speaker produces a similar sound level. It is important to note that this same problem can occur when comparing phono cartridges, which have differing output levels. Variation in input sensitivities and output levels can also effect matchings of pre-amplifiers and amplifiers, tuners and pre-amplifiers, and virtually any other kind of component combinations. Again, the only way to be sure of a fair comparison is to maintain a standard sound level. Another point that is related to efficiency and output/input level variation is the more general problem of compatibility. A component that is an excellent design on an individual basis and is a fine choice for some kinds of audio systems may not be right for other systems. For instance, the Audio Research power amplifiers are the best units around for driving electrostatic speakers, but will sound loose and muddy in the bass region over most dynamic models. Finagle In retail demonstrations, a dealer may purposefully mismatch components in an effort to play down a low mark-up item and push another product he is more anxious to sell. For instance, a dealer who wants to push a highrefficiency house brand speaker over a low-efficiency AR model might compare them using a low power receiver to insure that the AR speaker would sound unimpressive. A much more simple method of prejudicing the customer is through the subtle use of speaker placement. Most audio dealers have several shelves of speakers across the length of one wall of their showrooms. The average customer is not aware that in any such setup there are favorable and unfavorable spots to locate a pair of speakers, not only in relation to each other, but more importantly, in relation to their placemetn along the wall. For instance, placing a bookshelf speaker on the floor will make it sound boomy and bass-heavy. Corner placement will compound the problem. Locating the speaker far from ear level also dampens the high frequency response. A bookshelf speaker on the floor sounds (and even looks) small and distant. A customer must kneel to examine the speaker, or he may not even notice it at all. Salesmanship? Locating a bookshelf speaker at shoulder level, or just below shoulder level, has exactly the opposite effect. The customer sees the speaker straightaway. It looks bigger and more impressive, and inevitably sounds better, too. The tweeter is closer to ear level and the trebel range of the speaker appears more open and clear. The bass seems natural, not boomy. The overall sound is big and full, projecting at a customer's face and chest, rather than his feet. Not surprisingly, the glaring differences between floor and shoulder level placement tend to draw attention away from the former and translate directly into sales potential for the latter. This placement factor is used by many dealers to push their high mark-up speakers at the expense of heavily and readily discounted models that do not offer a large profit-margin. This means that house brands and price-controlled lines usually get the best spots on a dealer's shelves. A place for everything The floor and corners are usually reserved for AR, KLH, and three extensively discounted brands, which have not, incidentally, been associated with "push money." • A much more blatant technique used to play down speakers in the AR and KLH sphere is employed by a few less scrupulous dealers. That trick is to turn down any mid-range or tweeter controls on those speakers so that they sound dull and unimpressive in auditions. This is a point that must always be considered in any retail showroom. Check the controls at the rear of any speaker you audition. Don't merely look to see where the controls are positioned, but turn them back and forth to make sure they are operative, then set them to the mid-point positions. Choose a higher setting if you prefer a brighter sound. In general, the only way to insure a valid A/B test is to weigh and check each of these factors for yourself. Don't count on the dealer to balance an A/B test in favor of a fair and unbiased audition. Dynaco, Page fefi'.' Tb« BpSOtPum . Friday, 8 March* 1974 Asimov The uncontrolled authorin a world advancing to sci-fi If a little green man asked to see our leader and was taken immediately to the Oval room, where he was filmed and recorded (these films and records being functional and not taped over), and finally, if then and only then Nixon released these tapes would Isaac Asimov believe in extraterrestrial life. Such skepticism may seem peculiar for the author of such science-fiction monuments as /, Robot and The Gods Themselves but it does point out the complete rationalism of this man. His rationalism is so consistent that he refused to view The Questor Tapes and WestWorld because these films violated the laws of Robotics set down by Asimov. Machine does not knowingly hurt man. Isaac Asimov spoke at the recent Star Trek Convention where he defended Trekkeies, Science-Fiction, and himself. Always refusing to travel by plane, he now cites the energy crisis as a reason to avoid Buffalo. He attributes the crisis, as he does all crises, to the "spirit of nationalism." It was nationalism that turned the space program for a scientific endeavor to a race for the moon. It was nationalism that separated the world into territories, propagating war, famine, poverty and other unpleasantries. He sees science-fiction as a response to the necessity of world government. — Who's who? Some people do not know who Isaac Asimov is. Asking him about his childhood offers little help, for he replies: "I was a snotty little kid; I was Harlan Ellison before I grew out of it." Looking into his work doesn't do much either. One comes across pure science books titled Understanding Physics and of his biochemical background he says, "I decided to get a PhD in chemistry, so I did." Then, of course, he does write science-fiction such as the Hugo winning Foundation Trilogy, beating out The Lord of the Rings. Asimov celebrated his hundredth book a few years ago and is now quickly closing in on his two hundredth. His threat to society is: I plan to continue writing until civilization crumbles under me," Opus 100 was a collection of excerpts from his past 99 books. One is able to visualize Opus 200 quite easily. Starry-eyed Knowing Isaac often becomes an infatuation, living in such underground organizations as The Isaac Asimov Appreciation Society. Many people are U.6. sss All Veterans Are Welcome! interested in what he has to 'say and often they ask him cosmic questions, such as “How will the world end?" and they expect an answer. Asimov, undaunted and with thunder in his voice, replies: "Not with a bang or a whimper. With a crashing falling down the stairs." After discussing such powerful topics as the fate of the world, Asimov's attention is drawn to Woody Allen, whom he describes as "a rotten actor." The role he plays; "that's him!" Unofficially, Asimov was consulted for the Sleeper screenplay, which he approved and then sent to Ben Bova, who took over as advisor. Isaac's refusal to be paid for the Sleeper work was due to his self-proclaimed lack of visual — acuity. Primarily concentrating on the written word, does not release him of the problem of his work getting out of hand. The Gods Themselves originally began as a short story and ended up as a full length novel, winning the Hugo award in 1973. According to Asimov, the uncontrollability of his writing is comparable to technology. When fire was first discovered, so was arson. He recognizes man's hand in technology and deplores news articles which state that a car went out of control which is to say that the car went mad. — Didactic Isaac Asimov has long maintained that science-fiction literature can be a successful and inspiring teaching device, which, most likely, he put to use as a professor at the Boston University School of Medicine. He uses this same idea but now attacks it from a different position to explain why the number of science-fiction fans has increased. It is his opinion that the world is now being educated into science fiction through our technological advancement. Now that more people are reading SF, more will be encountering Isaac Asimov people productions which he will have to supply on a continuing basis. It’s the world vs. Isaac. Despite many idiosyncrasies, Asimov is known and loved by all those who meet him. His unique personality and powerful wit does not lend itself well to print, which is not an apology for this article but is a simple fact. His modesty is overwhelming and of his literary career he says, "I decided to write stories, so I did; then I decided to write novels, so I did; then I decided to write books on science, so I —Stanley Harper did.''And so he did.

Coalition Inter-College Relations Veterans Caucus UUAB TV program Yearbook photos Rm 260 Norton �John Brine s music becomes a sensation almost overnight .. . . John Prino is a 24-year-old country singer/composer from Maywood, Illinois. He is the perpetual juvenile as folk hero. His music either sounds like it has been around forever, or as if it's just come chugging up out of the dirt of a freeway median strip to remind people that under all the blight and bitterness. Middle America still has a heart a conscience, and a memory. "Your flag decal won't get you into heaven any more," one of his . , Kristofferson and Paul Anka, who later became his manager. Response from other artists (a reliable index of impending superstardom) has been enthusiastic. Johr\ Prine songs have been recorded by John Denver, Joan Baez, Kristofferson, Carly Simon, Bob Dylan, Bette Midler and last, but not least, Jackie De Shannon. "Just like discovering Dylan," people keep saying. The comparison is inevitable. John has the same lonesome hound-dog way of delivering a song that marked much of Dylan's early work. The voice bleeds with honesty, and when Prine sings "most of me is sunny countryside," you believe him. Poet??? The tag "protest singer" may be too harsh for Prine. He is, like all good poets, writers, or whatever One calls them, a keen observer. He seems simply to be observing and reporting on events untreated by most pop musicians for some time. Some of the best times, John recalls, were in Maywood when his father put the family’s old Zenith radio, cracked and taped, in the window so it could pick up WSM Nashville. John and his three brothers grew up listening to Jimmie Rodgers, the Carter Family, and Hank Williams,. John's father and ■grandfather had come North from Muhlenberg County, Kentucky to find work. Prine's grandfather knew Ike Everly and Merle Travis and used to sing and play guitar with them back in Kentucky. Sitting in the Atlantic recording studio on Broadway recently, John reminds one of a healthy Montgomery £lift. The gentleness is there, the unfathomable vulnerability. He drinks a Heineken's and watches his brother David add a country-style harmony track to a song John recorded earlier in the day. The two used to sing together in the family parlor. Now they are surrounded by expensive equipment and expert recording technicians, but the principle remains the same. No satire here John Prine's songs fuse two of the strongest currents flowing in the U.S. today blue-collar loyalty to the idea of America, and the activist rejection of the status quo. His voice speaks to people who have been cheated and demoralized in ways that don't penetrate skulls like Archie Bunker’s, but Prine is a real person, not a satiric Coffeehouse Exhibition of good music on campus Tonight and tomorrow night the UUAB Coffeehouse will be presenting two of the finest traditional folk performers around: Gordon Bok and Margaret MacArthur. Gordon Bok, born in Camden, Maine, started working the local fishing boats at an early age. He's been playing guitar and singing since he was nine, and his travels have brought him in contact with the music of many lands, as well as his native New England. Most of Gordon's life has been spent on or around ships, including Pete Seeger's Hudson River sloop Clearwater, on which — hype. Prine fits into the tradition of artists like James Dean, Brando, and Dylan part child, part seer, part victim. He sings a song called "Late John Garfield Blues," and friends of the actor say he reminds them of Garfield. In "Rocky Mountain Time," he writes "I'm too young to be where I'm going/But I'm too old to go back again." John Prine's appearance at last year's spring Folk Festival highlighted a weekend of fine music. For those who missed that musical event, John Prine will be appearing in Clark Gym along with Happy and Artie Traum this Saturday night, March 9 at 8:30. Don't compound your errors; see you there. -L.D.S. Gordon was the first mate. Gordon sings of the sea with affection and authority, much like someone who's lived the life of open spaces and sea spray. He's a fine his "handys," medleys of fiddle tunes adapted for guitar, are guitarist amazing. But he never uses his music solely to expose his virtuosity; whether they're about the sea or not, the songs he sings mean a lot to him. Whether live or on his three Folk-Legacy albums, Gordon's performances are always exciting and memorable. — — songs goes. "It's already overcrowded from your dirty little war." Four years ago John quit his job as a mailman to sing in a bar in the Old Town section of Chicago. Performing songs he's written and accompanying himself on guitar, John had to collect the cover charge from his audience between sets. He soon attracted some heavy patronage, including Kris Ozark tried and true If you attended the Buffalo State Folk Arts Festival, you're familiar with Margaret MacArthur and her songs of the Ozarks, Kentucky and Vermont. Mrs. MacArthur has lived in the country all her life in the Ozarks as a young girl, and in California, Louisiana and South Carolina as a teenager. She attended the University of Chicago and then moved to Vermont, where she and her husband live in an 1803 farmhouse they restored themselves. Her career as a folksinger began in 1951, when she had a weekly program on a Brattleboro, — Vermont radio station. She has the warmth and friendliness of folks who live in the country. The folk harps she plays along with her singing combine to sound the way angels must sound when they sing. But lest you think she's all sugar and no spice, she plays the meanest "Washerwoman" on a dulcimer I've ever heard. All you fiddle enthusiasts should come down to hear her jigs. Even though she calls them "works-in-progress," I'm sure she'd play one or two if you asked for them. Margaret loves her music and her audience; to be in her presence is to feel very warm and comfortable inside. As Gordon told us, "Any time it should work out that Margaret and I could make a trip together she's a good person and an unceasing inspiration I would be delighted for me." There'll be one show each night, starting at 9 p.m. in Norton's first floor cafeteria.

DIRECTOR 1st ASST. DIRECTOR 2nd ASST. DIRECTOR TREASURER Our Weekly Reader by Ellen Klauber Our 50,000 workers live in their uniform gray cell walls one mile beneath the earth, where we operate our own self-sufficient. Spectrum Arts Staff On a recent Wednesday night 8:30 on ABC, rhany of us were treated to the thrill of watching the role of insects in their natural habitats. If this ignoble sight turned your attention toward the largest force of life on earth, it served its purpose. Insects, with their incredible rate of reporoduction, spawn new adaptive generations and species as quickly as one can say Hellstrom Chronicles. Frank Herbert took this movie, with all its implications, and went one step further. If the regimentation and survival qualities of such insects as bees could be applied to "humans," what sort of race could this novel evolve? He I Istrom's Hive (Doubleday, $5.95) takes off from where Hellstrom Chronicles ends. Take the fictional character Nils Hellstrom, who made this "documentary" in the summary of 1971. An "insider" might describe his world as follows: Our brood mother was 1 rova Hellstrom, who came with the Puritans when the hive was first begun over 300 years ago. She left her son Nils as chief. His work is law, but he, too, is subject to the at Hive. Enter the Outsiders We lived in peace and preparation. Then the Outsiders came to penetrate our Hive. The Agency was after economic gain, but they found something bigger Project 40. They disturbed our underground haven. Those selected workers who were sent Outside to interact on their level could not permanently deter them not even the two Senators and one Congressman? We don't understand these Outsiders with their self-centered interests. Everything we do is for the unity of the whole. When we are no longer useful to the Hive, our bodies are taken to the vats to provide continued sustenance for the workers. We communicate through silent gestures; our language and emotions are derived from our chemically conditioned state of being. The Outsiders are so alien, yet they have qualities we must instill into our Hive through breeding. Otherwise, we are - factories, hydroponic gardens, laboratories, breeding centers, and the underground river which provides us with the necessary source of power. But we still need money. The that energy symbol film will add to our Swiss bank — accounts. Small-scale perfection What better subject than insects the perfect society? It's risky. All contact with Ousiders is dangerous. They are coming to infiltrate risky. All contact with Outsiders is dangerous. They are — coming to infiltrate Project 40. Although Herbert's idea of humans to an insect environment is interesting, this novel is hot a very profound piece of literature. In fact, compared to Dune, He!Istrom's Hive seems to be sadly under par. Originally published under the title Project 40 in Galaxy magazine, the story is light and amusing, but there is better science fiction on which I would recommend spending one's adapting valuable time. Of course, Herbert can't resist his little "quotes" of wisdon, attributing them to the various characters of the book or the original manifestos upon which the Hive's society is based. They do give insight into the purposes and ideas behind the plot, but somehow, unlike those in Dune, they are not as effective as they should be. Perhaps it's because the novel often appears trite with such lines as "The insects have taught us that the true winner in the race for survival is the last to finish that race." seems unnatural. The vats, whose slogan might parallel "Soylent Green is people!", represents an immortality of the mind, a preservation of the secrets of generations (otherwise known as by programmed happiness. If communication is a mark of a nonverbal basis for human existence would produce a better world. At the least it would make life simpler, but then, a community like the Hive which is struggling for survival only needs a minimal form of communication. Yet, even within its Tesseract walls, technology stirs. Thus, beyond this novel, I see a Hive which humanity, perhaps — AH CAC positions are volunteer.

It's crowded, it's dirty, it's a place of sin and corruption, so tell me why do we have to suffer the continual poetic puke that the City seems to elicit from its inhabitants? Ever since the days of the Velvet Underground, Delmor Schwartz, the beat scene, we've been bombarded by illusions of junkie-death; greaseballs; fags; and Orange Julius stands (especially the one on 42nd Street) and it's getting boring word ennui seeps through the puffed-up veins of the junkie writer as he attempts to understand the megaphysics of the question "WHY?" it's even getting a little annoying, especially when it's so freeking heavy-handed no subtlety anymore, it's all bludgeon; smash 'n gash, thud. 7?So who needs Bruch Springsteen (hooknose) to tell us his timid tales of city sleaze. ???Who needs more of that kind of poetic plelusion. ????Who needs more preoccupations with junkies, slashed tires, dwarfs, and Puerto Rican teenage fine women in:out hubba, hubba: like who needs it. And the — — — — - title; lOcc (UK/London) "Oh look out you rock and rollers," first by David Bowie in "Changes," is an appropriate refrain to flash-on accompanying the fresh and inventive sound of this marvelous debut album by 10 cc. It's an album which delights and captivates the ear, while gently stimulating the head with its ethereal musical sensibilities. A whole earth catalogue of the major musical trends of the last decade in pop condensed and remolded into an eminently listenable primer bursting with unabashed whimsy, pleasing touches of naivete, and cynicism: coupled with a progressive nostalgia all nicely made manifest by top-flight arrangements and material. The question which immediately surfaces is: Who the hell is lOcc? It appears lOcc is comprised of four Englishmen with roots deep enough to reach back into the British rock and roll scene of the sixties. For people who thirst for credentials, lOcc members had previous ties to Wayne Fontana and the Mindbenders and scribbling ditties for the likes of the Vardbirds and the Hollies. lOcc approaches their music with a striking preference for strong vocal configurations. Their voices (with everyone lending his vocal chords to the test) are structurally tight and auditorily amazing. The fluidity and movement of harmonies often sounds like a cross between the Beach Boys and O.J. Simpson running wild through a porous defense. The band manages to sound as American as cherry pie perhaps giving credence to rumors that they came from Perth Amboy. The vocals contain a complexity that transforms them into intricate and viable counterpoints to the music the group lashes out. In this fashion, vocals are exploited to their full potential, adding a dimension lacking in so many contemporary bands. 1 Dec's musical sound is not sacrificed in this lush and intelligent use of vocal layering. They utilize a vast array of instruments, ranging from the moog and mellotron to the dobro guitar and tambourine, underscoring their compositions with a wholeness which revolves around a sparkling interplay of lyrics and music. There aren't many self indulgent, boring guitar solos. Most of them are solid, to-the-point arrangements, occasionally sprinkled with clean and economical breaks that enhance and heighten the tune without twisting or uttered — disfiguring it. The use of moog and mellotron is carried off with precision and utmost good taste. The electronic acrobatics decor the songs with a pleasing seventies facade, while the melodies sweetly betray their heritage to the golden days of the sixties. The tunes inked by the band, with the exception of two tracks, are of first-rate quality. They usher forth in humorous rushes and melodic soarings that call to mind the heyday of the Move and a pop innocence lost in mad dashes to musical r ■■».- “The E-Street Shuffle" starts the whole whizbang off nicely, but quickly slips into yawn-out when you realize that all street songs have been unimportant since the Ventures released "Slaughter on Tenth Avenue" years ago. This shuffle is like watching a dead junkie get beat to death by a band of roving teenage toughs jus' fer kicks, man I "Wild Billy's Circus Story" is nothing more than a musical tribute to Tod Browning's Freaks. It's all about dwarf-fuck and hump-caress. Depravity for the sake of sensation. Yaaa-hooo. Terry Southern rock 'n roll. “Incident on 57th Street" is all about switchblades and Elmer Bernstein. Totally useless as Springsteen tries to strap on a Bernstein motif, and all we end up with is 7 minutes of concrete ennui. Meshed together in an attempt at sophistication with this mini-show is a sexist, racist statement called "Rosalita (Come Out Tonight)" Rita Moreno rock. Latin meat-beat. White man's macho. AH does aa-meeree-kan boys... Real Yeechoid stuff. The whole thing is supposedly brought to fold with the Gershwin-esque "New York City Serenade." Oscar Levant is turning in his grave. Who needs it? If ya want the City to serenade ya, just look outta the window at the L-Trains and figure out which ones are going uptown and which ones are returning from uptown.

Hey kids, let me tell you how met your mom We were dancin' and romancin' at the Senior Prom It was no infatuation But a gradual graduation From a boy to a man Let me tell you while can The soda pop came free Hey sis one kiss and was heaven bound Now who would have guessed Milton's Paradise Lost Could be found? But in the eyes of the Dean his daughter Was doin' what she shouldn'a ough ta But a man's got to do The consequence should be Church bells, three swells, The Dean, his daughter and me "Rubber Bullets" is a jarring number with an overflow of humor and more than a bit suited for the socially conscious. The song zeroes its satire on the maltreatment of prisoners and the parochial / / / views expoused by society's Dirty Harry's. Well we don't understand Why you called in the National Guard When Unde Sam is the one who belongs in the exercise yard We all got balls and brains But some's got balls and chains At the local dance at the local county jail Load up, load up. load up with Rubber Bullets Load up, load up, load up with Rubber Bullets The songs also offer inexhaustible chances to identify all the divergent influences that are masterfully employed and then synthesized into their own unique presence. "Headline Hunter" trades off Ronnie Wood's guitar spits, and snarls against an imploring Harrison-like guitar prayer, thus bringing into focus the hypocritical, two-faced nature of a journalist with secret, ruthless ambitions. The album is magnificently brought to a close with a dynamically-built tune entitled "Fresh Air for Momma," which poignantly conveys the pathos and despair of people trapped within the American Dream. About the only place where the boys slip up is "Donna," a sophomoric spoof of the Beatles' "Oh Darling;'' and the Lighthouse-sounding "Speed Kills" which, while flashy, lacks the depth evidenced in the rest of the material. Otherwise, the musical panorama presented by lOcc resounds with bold and innovative shadings and an unfailing ability to write strong melodies with equally brilliant lyrics. If you take your rock seriously enough to laugh at it, and recognize an intelligent group functioning at the pinnacle of its professional potency, then lOcc doesn't just become a logical choice but rather a necessity. It is truly an album for all seasons. —C.P. Parkas �ED I j WANTED Streak together mattress, dressing table with chair, small cabinet, $65. Oee 834-4874, 831-2808.

Wright docs not look upon the year as a failure, despite the squad’s failure to qualify for post-season playoff activity. “No, I don’t think so {that the season was a failure),” Wright remarked. “Any time your team 18 games (the Bulls were wins 18-1 I-I), it’s a success.” ' Youthful inconsistencies Wright youthful recalled the problems: Bulls’ “We’re a young team. The inconsistencies had hopefully will be mining next year. We’ll be a more mature team, and, I hope, a more consistent team. I was very happy with the play of a lot of the freshmen, and they all stand to be important cogs in this machine,” added Wright. The ECAC playoffs will conclude this weekend, with the Division II finals tomorrow night at cither Vermont or Merrimack. Division I will hold their semifinals and finals tonight and tomorrow night at Boston Garden. Vermont, which crushed Army Sunday night, 10-1, met Massachusetts Wednesday night at their own rink. Vermont will host the championship game unless they are upset by Massachusetts, who would then travel to Merrimack for the title game. The Warriors whipped Salem State in the semifinals, 7-2, Tuesday night. Merrimack and Salem State had advanced to the semifinals via first-round home ice victories. The Warriors defeated Norwich 4-3, while Salem toppled Williams, 9-6. M assachusetts whipped 7-4 on Boston advance. State Boston ice to RP1 will meet Harvard and Boston University will face Cornell tonight in the Division I tournament.

Cornell vanquished St. Lawrence, 5-3, and Harvard drubbed Providence, 9-3, in other first-round action. Baby Bulls encounter end of season defeat The junior varsity basketball Bulls ended their season with a 71-65 loss at Buffalo State Monday night. It capped a long, frustrating season for the Baby Bulls, who finished 4-16, without a road victory. The game featured ten technical fouls with each team receiving five apiece. Buffalo guard Gene Henderson picked up the first when he failed to raise his hand after committing a foul, while the Bengals received their first for an illegal substitution. With 2; 10 remaining in the game, Henderson charged into the Bengals’ John Syty, and a fight erupted. When affairs finally quieted down, Henderson, Buffalo’s John Ruffino an’d Bengals Syty and Jim Conrad were assessed two technical fouls each and expelled from the game. Henderson claimed that he had been hit in the back of the head, and Bull coach John Hill indicated that he was provoked. “Gene’s been hit pretty hard in practice, but he’s never done anything like that,” Hill said. The contest was also plagued with “regular” fouls, as 44 were whistled during the game. Buffalo State wound up shooting 35 times from the charity stripe, connecting on more free throws than the Baby Bulls attempted. Buffalo forged a slim lead early in the second half as guard John Trigilio hit two consecutive jump shots and center Norm Weber added a three-point play. The Bengals came roaring back with eight unanswered points, led by both Hesse and Macklin, and they maintained their five-point margin the rest of the way. Saturday night, a depleted JV squad traveled to Rochester to lose to the Yellow Jackets, 77-73. Buffalo’s tallest player was 6-3 Scott Kovel, normally a reserve forward. “Kovel played well,” said Hill, “but he’s a forward, not a center. That’s what hurt us.” Henderson added: “If we would have had a big man, we would have won.” Two days earlier, Niagara Community College whipped the Baby Bulls 110-87 as Frontiersman guard “Trick” Lewis scored 32 points and handed out 15 assists to completely disrupt Buffalo’s zone defense.

York at Buffalo Colleges’ charter problem: no money for faculty by Larry Kraftowitz Campus Editor support,” he emphasized. “There will have to be some negotiating there is a moment of where the Colleges will temporarily be left hanging in the air,” agreed Jonathan Reichert, Chairman of the Faculty-Senate Colleges Sub-committee which wrote the new College Prospectus. However, Dr. Reichert felt the Administration’s involvement in the point How with the Colleges get chartered if they don’t have any faculty ? How will they get faculty if they don't have any money ? How will they get any money if they are chartered? These are some of the questions being raised throughout the University as the Colleges begin digging in for the rigorous chartering process. Because the Reichert Prospectus specifies that charters will be granted only to those units with significant faculty support. College members have been stepping up efforts to attract faculty in the past few weeks. Many College spokesmen have termed the situation “Catch-22”, because hiring a large number of faculty requires money that will be available only after each College receives its charter. Specifically, Colleges must now purchase “released time” so faculty can be compensated financially for the hours spent away from their regular departments. not Wipe out where limbo. . . chartering procedures would strengthen the Colleges’ claims for funds. “The budgeting process is a two edged sword because Dr. Ketter has to sign all the charters,” he said. “Once he puts his name on the document, the Administration will itself demand money from Albany,” Dr. Reichert asserted. Funding could be easier than is if Colleges “get the kind of student demand that is hoped for,” contended Academic Affairs vice-president expected Bernard Gelbaum. This would reduce the financial demand from other segments of the University and “everything would sort of balance out,” Dr. Gelbaum said. ‘intellectual disrepute’ Faculty-Senate Chairman-elect George “Buying released time will almost wipe out many Colleges as they now exist,” claimed Irving Spitzberg,' the new Dean of the Colleges. Funds could be obtained only by “unmaking allocations that have already been made," he said. Financing is difficult, Dr. Spitzberg explained, because the Colleges are presently regarded as “high-risk ventures.” While he hopes the Administration will respond “in good faith” to the Colleges once they are chartered, Dr. Spitzberg was concerned because the Reichert Prospectus does not exactly specify how even chartered Colleges will be funded. “That’s the real catch in the Prospectus. There is no necessary and logical relationship between chartering and budgeting,” he said. “1 can envision a situation where a series of Colleges will be chartered but left without a budget,” Dr. Spitzberg pointed out. Should this occur, a particular College would have the option of “coming back in six months” to sign the charter or “signing it now and waiting to see what happens,” Dr. Spitzberg said. “Chartered Colleges will have only the promise of being quality academic enterprises deserving of academic Hochfield does not think funding will play that crucial a role in obtaining faculty support. “The Colleges are in a state of intellectual disrepute,” Dr. Hochfield said. “The need to attract faculty (to get chartered] will kill of the Colleges because some will simply be incapable of attracting faculty,” he declared. Disagreeing with Dr. Hochfield, one College E instructor claimed several faculty had contacted his College to offer assistance in the areas of media, philosophy and speech communications. “The more radical Colleges could dig up faculty easily,” he asserted. However, he feared that having a significant number of faculty heavily involved in a Collegiate unit would “turn the Colleges into an alternative like arrangement for departments dividing the pie a different way.” The College E member predicted that the “active” Colleges “would still try to bring eminent community members as faculty “instead of radical faculty” so the Colleges could continue to “fight the issues.” Community people do not have any special right to teach in the Colleges “or anywhere else,” argued Dr. Hochfield. There has to be a sufficient number of faculty to undertake the particular teaching program of a College, he said. “If it’s a large program, then there has to be a large number of faculty,” Dr. Hochfield said. — Exploitation William Allen, professor of History and a member of the Faculty-Senate, said faculty would be willing to participate in College courses which were “responsibly organized.” He felt there had been many instances in the past where people in the Colleges had exploited faculty members. “If courses were cross-listed, departments would not mind allowing faculty to teach in the Colleges,” Dr. Allen said. “Each College is not quite sure of how much faculty support it can get,” maintained Elliott Smith, director of the New College of Modem Education. Mr. Smith said most of the Colleges have been actively attempting to get faculty involved by demonstrating the value of their goals and prior work, and by offsetting the negative publicity which has arisen from a series of articles that appeared in the Courier-Express. “If most faculty members really knew what went on in the Colleges, they’d support them,” Mr. Smith said. Women ’playingthe game’behind and beyond bars by Linda Moskowitz Feature Editor The realization that the problems of are only an extension and intensification of the problems all women must face whether they are in prison or not was a major focus of the discussion at a day-long conference on Women in Prison, held last Saturday at the Women’s Resource Center of the YWCA on Franklin Street. Included in the day’s events was a slide show, a panel discussion and workshops dealing with the various aspects of imprisonment. The conference was co-sponsored by the YWCA Criminal Justice Committee, the Buffalo Women’s Center, the SUNY-Buffalo Association for Women Law Students, and the Buffalo Chapter of the National Lawyers Guild. “Whether we wear the prisoner’s cotton uniform or a velvet pantsuit, we are possessions to be bought and sold. We are dummies to be laughed at,” said Marilyn Reynolds as she read the narration accompanying the slide show. The “prison of marriage or motherhood” is often little different psychologically, Ms. Reynolds commented, from being behind bars. women prisoners — — Statistics unclear The narration made clear that there are few accurate statistics regarding women in prison. One panel member claimed “we have no idea of the full number of women presently being incarcerated,” especially in county and city jails where the inmate populations are fairly transient. However, it is known that most women are either serving sentences of less than one year, or are waiting for trial in a county or city jail because they cannot raise the necessary bail money. Many are young and many are first offenders. Most women prisoners are poor and a member of some racial minority group. “Three quarters are black, Puerto Rican, Chicano, or Native American,” continued the narration, “and almost all are mothers.” The problems of mothers in prison are vast. Ms. Reynolds said that 80% of women in prison have children. Those children are usually put in foster homes, put up for adoption or sent to live with relatives. “Many women aren’t told where their children are,” the narration stated. This lack of knowledge about their children’s location and care is a severe strain for many women. Extended loss of contact with their children makes it more difficult to resume their active roles as mothers when they get out of prison. Pregnant prisoners “Kids are dependent on their mothers, and prisons have no effective way to hold families together,” said Sharon Krebs, during the panel discussion. Ms. Krebs spent 18 months in Bedford-Hills State Penitentiary and is now teaching a course on women in prison at the New School in New York City. “No one person is punished when a woman is sent to prison,” she said, referring to the suffering of family members when a woman goes to jail. Some women enter prison when they If they decide against option is available that if they must often contend with poor prenatal care and medical attention. After the baby is born, they are sometimes permitted to keep the baby in jail up to a year and are then usually forced to either place the child in a home or sign him or her over for adoption. The low level of health care in prison was a major complaint at the conference: “Medical care is as callous and indifferent as anything else in the system,” said Ms. Reynolds at the slide show. She then related a story of a woman who awoke to a needle of penicillin being administered to her in her sleep. When the inmate questioned the attendants, they told her it was for her gonorrhea. She replied that she didn’t have gonorrhea, and continued to argue with the attendants until they realized she was the wrong patient. are pregnant. abortion — American flags “Pap smears — are done only when —continued on page 8— *. ' • ~ �Admissions process for aspiring young doctors by Bill Kutchcr Spectrum Staff Writer Editor’s note: This is the last of a two part series on medical school and the admissions process. This part takes the aspiring doctor from his freshman year to the brink of the Hippocratic oath. Application to medical school begins as early as the junior year. Prior to that, the student takes the required courses and secures recommendations from faculty members. Required science courses should be distributed over several semesters to avoid an overburdening workload, possibly resulting in lower grades. Whether the course is taken during the day, at night or during the summer does not matter as long as the student earns a good grade. An excess of summer courses, however, might be looked at unfavorably by med schools. Letters of recommendation should be obtained whenever possible. Generally three teacher recommendations are needed, with two from teachers of required science courses. Additional letters can come from employers and other people outside the University. The letter should never be written by someone who only vaguely knows the student. M. Luther Musselman, chairman of University of Buffalo’s medical school Admission Committee said letters indicating little knowledge of or contact with the applicant can sometimes hurt him more than help. about the applicant. Her letter accompanies the other recommendations, to each school and is considered heavily by most medical schools. According to Ms. Capuana, appraisal interviews are presently booked into April. All recommendation letters should be submitted by August 31st preceding the senior year to assure prompt processing. The appraisal committee sends a maximum of five letters. To have recommendations sent, the applicant stamps and addresses State University at Buffalo envelopes to the medical schools. Envelopes can be obtained from Ms. Capuana’s secretary. Med boards Most medical schools require students to take the Medical College Admission Test (MCAT). Administered twice a year (May 4 and October 5 this year), the test is taken in May of the junior year or October of the senior year. Many people prefer the May test, so they can use their results to decide on which and how many schools to apply. The test consists of verbal, science, quantitative ability, and general information sections with a separate score reported for each. The verbal section consists of synonyms, antonyms, and analogies; the math is basically high school level with no calculus; the science contains biology and inorganic chemistry with a smaller amount of organic chemistry and physics; and general information includes questions concerning art, history, literature, music, psychology, philosophy, etc. Recommendations Letters of recommendation are kept on file on pre-med advisor Josephine Capuana’s office (105 Diefendorf). To start a file, the student fills out a Data Sheet, obtained from the secretary in 105 Diefendorf. The Data Sheet is part of a Committee Registration Packet which includes recommendation forms. Beginning in February of the junior year, the applicant should schedule an appraisal interview appointment with Ms. Capuana, who is also the pre-med appraisal committee chairperson. The interview is a short, relatively informal session, where Ms. Capuana formulates her impressions Success on this exam usually depends on review, whether through a preparatory course or individual studying. Studying word lists is good preparation for the verbal section and a thorough review of high school math (including algebra, geometry, logarithms) will assist in the quantitative exam portion. Studying inorganic chemistry and a college level introductory biology course is an adequate review for the science section. General information, according to many, is not very important. For this section, information assimilated over 20 years of life is generally enough preparation. It is extremely important to prepare for the Announcing the OPENING OF THE VAJRAYANA Restaurant serving Indian Cuisine 530 Rhode Island St >ff Richmond! - 886-8466 - Indian Groceries & spices available.

(S) NewVbrk Telephone ��f Colleges Dean weighs Prospectus their faculty on a part-time basis. The chartering process involves give-and-take by the Colleges and departments, he by Gaiy Cohn Campus Editor “The Reichert Prospectus creates an environment to get faculty back in the Colleges.” With those words, new Dean of the Colleges Irving Spitzberg commended the Reichert Prospectus, the recently-passed set of guidelines which will bring about a sweeping revision of the existing College system. Dr. Spitzberg described the Reichert Prospectus as “a document one can live with,” but cautioned that the new College guidelines could be used to “wipe out the important, crucial, radical prospective in the Colleges.” Observing that the Prospectus could be misused by certain Collegians, Dr. Spitzberg added that the document could also be used to give “approval to questionable educational enterprises.” ‘Catch-22’ With the current Colleges working to obtain charters by the January 1, 1975 deadline, a “Catch-22” loophole has emerged. To receive charter status, a College must have significant faculty involvement. However, the Colleges cannot receive additional funds to pay those faculty until they have been chartered. Dr. Spitzberg acknowledged this paradoxical situation, but said that certain steps could be taken by the Colleges seeking charters Specifically, Colleges should re-order priorities and undertake internal reallocations so that they may partially subsidize faculty members’ salaries, Dr. Spitzberg maintained. For instance a faculty member could have his salary paid partially by his own department and partially by the * Colleges. Dr. Spitzberg also said he would actively seek out faculty to donate their time, at least temporarily, so that Colleges may obtain charters. He said he would “go to the Faculty-Senate” and ask for interested faculty in certain areas. emphasized. Dr. Spitzberg noted that community involvement has been a major benefit provided by the Colleges. “The Colleges give University members and community people a chance to relate to each other,” he said. The articulation of the Dean’s role was cited as another strong point of the Reichert document. Dr. Spitzberg said he will assume the role of the “marriage broker” during the initial stages of the chartering process. Although he vowed to retain the best elements of each College by consolidating similar programs. Dr. Spitzberg nevertheless said that he would take a more detached role during the latter stages of the chartering process. He explained that the Dean is required to submit an independent assessment of each College to President Ketter, which will complement the recommendations of the chartering committee. Won’t impose views Dr. Spitzberg also plans to take an activist role in his new post without imposing his personal views on the Colleges. Looking forward to a “communicative, consultative” process by all elements of the University community, Dr. Spitzberg said he wanted to see the Collegiate Council (which will replace the Collegiate Assembly) become a “heterogeneous group process.” In any “post-industrial social system,” there are always conflicts. He explained. However, he said that he “enjoys a good argument” and was not “ulcer prone.” Dr. Spitzberg believes these factors will enable him to succeed where previous College directors have resigned in frustration. Last year, former Colleges Director Wayland Smith cited external pressure from the Administration and internal pressure from the Colleges as leading to his resignation. Turning ‘Marriage broker’ to weaknesses of the Colleges, Dr. Spitzberg said the current system is “very ingrown,” does not involve most students and faculty and views “everyone department as a Additionally, Dr. Spitzberg said he would go to the chairmen and ask them to contribute part of the threat.” Irving Spitzberg However, Dr. Spitzberg said that Collegians have had “some justification” for perceiving elements in the Administration and faculty as hostile to the Colleges. The Colleges should be a place where those who teach and those who are taught have substantial interaction in a continual learning process, Dr. Spitzberg believes. He added that the Colleges should be a place for “trying new ideas.” Assessing the Colleges as a whole. Dr. Spitzberg said that while there are some bad things, most of the Colleges have been doing “very good things." He added that the past positive contributions of the Colleges have been greatly underestimated. orld in education plo contrary to the “We’re in for a revolution in man’s affairs, above an educational revolution. The challenges of educate Coi/ncil. Man has been on the planet over two million yeai Only the last 8000 years are documented by history. Reaching back over these 8000 years, Dr. Full presented a synopsis of events that led to the education the masses. At the time of the construction of ti pyramids, the use of technology and knowhow w; centered on the Pharoah’s effort to prepare for h afterlife. With each successive Pharoah, there was increasing inventory of knowhow, commented Dr. Full' Finally, there was such an increase in technical capabiliti that people found they could provide for the afterlives all the nobles and priests in addition to the Pharoah, ai from there develop an exponential acceleration in tl accumulation of capabilities. At the time of Christ ai Mohammed, people finally realized that they could tal care of the salvation of everybody, Dr. Fuller said. 1 added that this led to the construction of cathedrals a* temples, symbolic of a stage of development, where peop began considering how to take care of their lives wh? they were living them. ? another word, gravity, by simple everyday experiences Watched growth of knowledge Citing personal witness to this exponential growth knowhow, Dr. Fuller, born in 1895, gave examples of technological developments that have occured in his lifetime. “I was three years old when the electron was discovered; seven years old when the first automoblie came into Boston; eight when the Wright brothers first flew; fourteen when man reached the North Pole and sixteen when he got to the South Pole.” Dr. Fuller, called “Bucky” by his friends, elaborated on his theory that over the ages reality has come to have more meaning. ‘‘We assumed that reality was everything that you could see, smell, touch and hear. You knew all about yourself. This concept was greatly shaken by Freud Mesmer who demonstrated that there were subconscious sides of behavior.” Moving in to the realm of the child’s world. Dr. Fuller in an anecdotal manner cast light on the frustrations of the natural curiosity in children. ‘‘When a child asks questions to his parents they respond: ‘Wait until you get to school.’ When they are in school they are told to wait until they get to college. This manner of specialized institutions for learning skills in a structured order is and such as falling out of bed and knocking his head. “The human being has to do all its own educating. You and 1 can lend our experiences and simplify them for the child to help him understand how we communicate with the proper words. We do not insert anything new in any child. Our educational revolution must move toward ways in which we employ the invisible world and how we can make information swiftly available to that young mind enabling him to coordinate what he is already experiencing. That young world is thinking at a level which we are not.” Commenting on the current energy crunch, Dr. Fuller said “There is no energy crisis whatsoever. Instead, there is a crisis of ignorance, fear, and leaving matters for the other guy.” The revolution is indeed an educational one. How quickly it can erase this fear and ignorance is a question of vital importance, concluded Dr. Fuller. ************ vets club All Veterans Are Welcome! MEETING: MARCH 8 at 5:00 p.m. AGENDA: /.

Party child’s natural curiosity He cited the example of the father who comes home from a day’s work bringing with him whatever new knowledge he acquired that day. In those times the “Daddy” was the authority. Only he knew what was going on in the world about him, via direct experience with it. Now, Dr. Fuller said, when “Daddy” comes home, his children are telling him what happened in the news that day. As a result, children realize that Daddy is no longer the authority. “At Berkley in 1966 when dissidence made world news of what was going on in the educational system, we found that these graduates were born during the time when television sets were introduced into American homes,” Dr. Fuller said. “From this point on ‘Daddy’ really didn’t know what was going on, and we had a young world becoming very self-reliant. They found themselves dealing with the total earth, with a compassion for life all over that earth.” Continuing on the theme of the child’s ability to assimilate all sorts of knowledge about him, Dr. Fuller pointed out that an understanding of the child’s world is not dependent on knowing the words to explain their experiences. He gave examples of the child learning the meaning of “vertical” and “horizontal” in terms of today are quite unprecedented.” With these opening words, the famed architei inventor, mathematician, futurist and educator, Buckminster Fuller opened the first segment of a two p< conference on ‘“Emerging Futures in Educatioi sponsored by the Western New York Educational Servi U.6. —York 5.

Page three ��DITORIAL Catch—22 The Colleges are now facing the classic Catch—22 dilemma: they can't afford faculty until they become chartered, and they can't become chartered until they get faculty. This truck-sized loophole in the Reichert Prospectus is precisely how the document can "be used to sit on the radical Colleges." as new Colleges Dean Irving Spitzberg instantly perceived. While conservative Colleges like B and D can attract like-minded faculty from various science because they departments, the more progressive Colleges departments from regular represent such an alternative have a much smaller pool of faculty from which to recruit. A conservative economist is not going to teach a Social Science College course in radical Marxist theory. To require an alternative venture to subsist on conventional resources is to eliminate its hope of presenting any real alternative. Many Colleges have therefore relied heavily on professional and community instructors, but will the Chartering Committee accept them in lieu of Ph.D faculty? Community professionals add a much-needed perspective to the University, but faculty-supremacists like Faculty-Senate chairman-elect George Hochfield who feels community experts have no real place here in the land of hopes the Colleges will be unable to attract faculty fh.O's end will wither away. But faculty-dominated Colleges are no alternative to faculty-dominated departments. If the Colleges are to endure as an alternative enterprise, the Chartering Committee must be open-minded enough to recognize this. Liberal or conservative, every College needs faculty to get chartered. But they all face the same problem: poverty. Faculty members generally don't teach for free(at least not for long), and each College's tiny budget is less than one faculty member's annual salary. The Prospectus does call for an independent budget to enable the Colleges Dean to buy faculty for the current Colleges, but far more money will be needed than the Administration's pathetic offer of 1 Vi faculty budget lines for 12 Colleges. If the Colleges are not to starve for lack of faculty. Dr. before Spitzberg must fight for an increased budget now the were to develop Spitzberg Dr. But even if chartering. in teach the still be reluctant to faculty touch, would Midas Colleges because of the widespread belief that such involvement will hurt their chances for tenure and promotion. Certain departments have even told their faculty not to teach in the Colleges, clearly implying negative consequences if they did so. If the Colleges are not to remain a "high-risk” enterprise for career-minded faculty, department chairmen must positively weigh Collegiate teaching in tenure and promotion decisions, as President Ketter has often urged. The Faculty-Senators have been screaming loud and long for increased faculty involvement in the Colleges. But they will never reap the fruits of fully-funded chartered Colleges unless individual faculty members come forward now when they are most needed to propel the Colleges through the chartering process. More money, however, is sorely needed. If faculty members are to be a prerequisite for chartering, then the Colleges must be given the means with which to attract them. Dr. Spitzberg must fight for an increased budget; the Administration must provide substantial funds for the current Colleges to pay faculty; the Colleges must reallocate whatever money they have to recruiting faculty; the by department chairmen must encourage Collegiate teaching faculty and the promotion; counting such efforts toward themselves must get off their best intentions by actively becoming involved in the pre-chartered Colleges. By raising tuition to improve education, some schools have placed that education beyond the reach of most students. Similarly, the Reichert Pfospectus has raised the by requiring a substantial number of price of a charter giving the current Colleges any without faculty members their salaries.

Well, the season’s over tomorrow, and what have the women got to show for it? They have six wins, three losses, and a lot of pride, but, alas, little recognition by The Spectrum. For it seems that, once again, when it comes to priorities, women-take the last place. As an example: for one issue, six • Karen A.

To the Editor. On Thunday, March 7, 1974 at 1 p.m. in Haas there will be a public meeting with President Ketter to present a list of demands formulated by the Coalition. At that time, Dr. Ketter will be forced to take a position on these demands. The Coalition began on February 5 when supporters of the Colleges walked out of the meeting.. Since that time the Faculty-Senate Coalition has sponsored two mass rallies. At these rallies, representatives from various student poups talked about the problems they are having in maintaining their position at this University. These include: cutbacks in assistantships and in programs, such as E.O.P; the attempts to eliminate radical or alternative views from the University; the harassment of Black Studies and black students on this campus; tuition increases; and insufficient support of necessary services such as day care. The Coalition formed after different groups realized that their separate struggles were connected. The attempt to “legitimize” the Colleges (i.e., co-opt them) is only part of the plan of the Administration and Albany to reorganize the University. If this plan succeeds, third world and working-class people will be eliminated from the University, and middle-class students will find it more difficult to pay costs or obtain financial aid. However, the people at the University are not only ones feeling the financial crunch. the Everywhere in Buffalo and the nation, people are feeling the effect* of inflation. In the supermarkets, in the gas stations, while paying the bills, people are becoming aware that day-to-day survival is difficult, and that earning a living wage is becoming harder. WHAT CAN WE AS increasingly UNIVERSITY STUDENTS DO? We are aware that President Ketter cannot alleviate all these problems, but we do know that it is in hi* control to respond to some of our concerns on this campus immediately. This will only be done if Dr. Ketter see* that the University community is demanding what we need. Come to the meeting with Ketter, take your part in the struggle to Save Your Education, And Your Life. Within the next two months, a bill will come before the New York Legislature asking for the repeal of the Consensual Sodomy Law (No. 130.38), Under this law, any persons practicing any acts of sodomy (oral-genital sex, anus-genital sex, etc.) are considered criminals whether they are heterosexual or homosexual. Although very few people are prosecuted under this law, it is the major barrier to obtaining Gay civil rights legislation, such as equal job and housing rights. When anti-Gay discrimination laws are introduced to legislative bodies, the lawmakers are reluctant to pass such legislation because under the Consensual Sodomy Law, homosexual acts are illegal (and, in the minds of some lawmakers, homosexuality equals criminality). If the Consensual Sodomy Law is .repealed, the criminal aspects of homosexuality will be removed, thus clearing the way for the passage of Gay civil Lounge, Campus I r i rights legislation. It is important to remember that minors and non-consenting adults will not be -affected by the repeal of this law, as these people are fully protected by other sections of the Penal Code, just as they are protected from heterosexual offenders. If nothing else, the Consensual Sodomy Law should be repealed on the grounds that is is an attempt by the State to define appropriate standards of private morality. As an attempt to repeal this law, a state-wide petition campaign has begun. The purpose of this petition will be to show that the people of New York State support the repeal of the Consensual Sodomy Law. We are asking all people, regardless of their sexual orientation, to sign the petition when it is presented to them. We also urge citizens to write to their State Legislators demanding the repeal of this law. Gay Liberation Front SUNY at Buffalo Dont censor advertising To the Editor. On Monday, The Spectrum printed a letter that criticized its policy of carrying advertisements from the United States Armed Forces and particularly the ROTC. I believe that any individual or organization should have the right to make their views known without discrimination or censorship. What Mr. and fundamental Jacobson attacks is our primary of free Our speech. constitutional right concern and fear here is that once censorship has begun, where will it stop? Who will decide what is suitable for publication and what does not “serve the best interests of the students of this University” as Mr. Jacobson defines the censorship which he would like to impose? Rather than repression, I would prefer to see Coalition on the Colleges rebuttal in The Spectrum. I urge you to continue your policy of printing ad* for various controversial organizations. Only in a totalitarian society is one point of view presented. The point I am trying to make is that when this newspaper, or any other newspaper, stifles our right to freely express our ideas and opinions, is the year “1984” that far off in the future? Of noo .nq T>nti jJ!b Howard Chubinsky Jacobson responds: I too believe one should have the right to make their views known. But The Spectrum is a publication of selected, limited readership.

In attendance were nearly one thousand students from 44 states each representing their campuses in the fight for higher financial assistance and the rights of all Americans to an education. “We gathered in Washington to educate the American people about our concerns for education, and to that prove that Gordon Strachan’s advice young people should stay away from is neither valid nor Washington appropriate today,” said Willis Edwards, a student from California who is chairman of the National Student Lobby’s board of directors. , - - Students in forefront Touching on what could be termed a “theme” of the conference, Mr. Edwards said: “When the American people did not understand the tragedy of the war in Vietnam, we as students told them. When the American people did not understand the civil rights movement, we as students told them. When the American people do not understand the crisis in education, we as and that is why we are students tell them here.” The student delegates felt they could actually make an impact on the formulation - of public policy in education. Mr. Edwards pointed to the success of two students being placed on their respective states’ board of education. He noted that the NSL was a key factor in successfully increasing federal aid to education by half a billion dollars, as well as helping to defeat last year the “McDonald’s plan” in Congress of paying students and youth 80% of the minimum wage.

Mr. Edward’s opening remarks, the delegates were addressed by Congresman Pete McClosky (R.,Cal.) who unsuccessfully challenged President Nixon for the Republican Presidential nomination in 1972. McCloskey ran on a platform that consisted mainly of opposition to Mr. Nixon’s Vietnam policy. Mr. McCloskey credited students with bringing about government changes in recent years in three major areas: the Vietnam War, civil rights and the environment, mostly because students have the “right opinions.” Th« license plate of this car typifies life in Warflington.

Mr. McCloskey urged students to “hold their Congressmen’s feet to the fire” and to have “the patience to follow-through” on their meetings with their representatives. Urging students not to be co-opted, Mr. McCloskey told them to, “retain a healthy degree of skepticism toward the responses of their Senators and Representatives. Politicians are trained never to take square stands.” He concluded by urging students to help put “someone we can trust in the White House — the sooner the better.” Region Six, which by the end of the - opinion.

The role-playing was followed by Bob Woodward, the Pulitzer Prize-winning reporter for the Washington post whose Bernstein exposed much of the White House cover-up of its involvement in Watergate. There was a certain “aroma” to the Watergate burglary, said Mr. Woodward, a professional Speaker as well as an excellent reporter. Noting that everyone had a fantasy about Watergate and how it would end, Mr. Woodward said he fantasized that more tapes containing a whistling noise would be discovered. President Nixon would then be called before the Senate Watergate Committee to testify about the mysterious whistling covering all the crucial conversations, and is asked to whistle. Mr. Nixon, it turns out, cannot whistle. The next day, Press Secretary Ron Ziegler makes a statement that the President was once able to whistle, but now he cannot. Mr. Woodward said he had some incriminating evidence he was going to publish concerning former Attorney General John Mitchell. He telephoned Mr. Mitchell to relay the information, and Mr. Mitchell said “Katie Graham (publisher of the Washington Post) is going to get her tit caught in a wringer.” Mr. Woodward condemned the national media for the job it has done on Watergate.

He pointed out how House majority leader Tip O’Neill changed his mind on the Vietnam War as a result of one person a student asking him a probing question about why he supported it. One week later, Mr. O’Neill held a press conference and reversed his conference, considered itself to be the most progressive region, also adopted a resolution supporting unconditional amnesty for Wednesday, 6 March 1974 On the left it Layton Olton, former executive Director of the National Student Lobby. On the right, it Arthur Rodbell, incoming Executive Director Woodward, who has pulled a pillar or two from the Nixon White House. The next day, Dan Rather, the CBS White House correspondent, spoke to the delegates about the burgeoning power of the White House, The White House press budget of $400 million is over $ 100 million larger than the combined budgets of CBS, NBC, ABC, AP and UP I, which total anywhere from $275 to $300 million, Mr. Rather said. This is the third or fourth White House that has increased its press budget for a “propaganda campaign,” Mr. Rather declared. Mr. Rather feels Mr Nixon was biased �president said: “We are not in a government by edict ‘there will be no recession’.” Mr. Humphrey condemned the Congress for not planning far enough in advance, and, by coincidence, for not adopting his legislation. The Senator had strong words regarding the manner in which the nation’s budget is prepared: “I want some of the people who prepare the budget to go through a hospital for the mentally retarded and wonder where the President gets the guts to veto a bill for — Congresswoman Balia Abzug mentioned the happiness her family fait whan aha won her seat in Congress.

When he and Mr. Nixon first met, he recalled, the first words out of the President’s mouth were, “We know all about you,” indicating some superficial knowledge of his background as a Democrat. Calling the President was “biased from the beginning,” Mr. Rather said. He carried “heavy prejudicial baggage” with him into the White House. He called Mr. Nixon an “attacker who attacks while he’s under attack,” an art at which Mr. Rather claims the President is a that.” The lobbying effort itself began on the fourth day of the Conference. Students were sleeping in the halls of Congress between appointments, having spent the previous night partying. They met with Congressmen and were extremely well-received. Their points generally were cogent, their statements supported, and their cause adequately represented. Commitments were received from -a vast number of Representatives in favor of increased funding for’federally-sponsored student financial aid programs. Rhetorical bullshit After the first hectic day of lobbying, a reception was held with numerous public figures in attendance. Bella Abzug spoke about the importance of seeking minority group representation in our elected bodies, and said the National Student Lobby was an excellent vehicle for making students voices heard. Congresswoman Yvonne Burke, a radical member of the Congressional Black spoke of the caucus’ imminent expansion to all 58 districts with a majority of black residents. Richard Vanderveen, recently elected to fill Vice President Ford’s House seat, spoke on the importance Caucus, Protective lobb in. Financial aid plans The National Student Lobby is an outgrowth of the University of California Association of Students. The California group was formed several years ago and it has has been at least as successful reportedly influenced the allocation of as its New York over $1 million — — counterpart, SASU, Association of the State Inc (Student University of New York) in representing students in V the state legislature. Last week’s conference was the third in as many years, the largest, and probably most productive. The National Student Lobby (NSL) is a permanent, registered lobby in Washington designed to “protect student interests.” It is student-financed and student-controlled, and coordinated by full-time professional staff who work with the student Board of Directors and student interns. The NSL plans to attack only those issues deemed important as determined in a referendum by the students at its member schools. (The State University of Buffalo is a member school.) In order to maintain its tax-free status, the Lobby must not support any candidate for political office, but can take particular stands on specific legislation and issues. Money, money, money The Lobby’s main purpose is to protect the financial aid programs currently available to students and to support new and better programs. The Lobby has gone on record opposing the “master.” Sen. Hubert Humphrey (D., Minn.) delivered a brilliant speech describing his and progressive nature. Mr. Humphrey said he introduced the first civil rights legislation in the 1940’s as well as the virtues first legislation for nationwide health care. Sen. Humphrey said he has introduced a bill to form a federally-owned and operated oil drilling and processing company, to realistically determine the costs of processing gasoline and home heating oil. Fools in Congress Mr. Humphrey, after a barrage of jokes and quips, finally began to discuss the issues of the day. “I was once asked,” he said, “why are there so many fools in Congress.

NSL has also had an impact thus far on retaining the youth fare for air travel. At the NSL conference last week, the students adopted a set of priorities with financial aid as the top goal. A lower was assigned to those issues which affect students as young persons in society, which include voter registration, youth fares, minimum wage, and so on. Also discussed were such items as impeachment, international affairs and the environment. The NSL conference adopted resolutions supporting the impeachment of President Nixon, supporting unconditional amnesty for Vietnam era draft evaders, and the right of a woman to choose whether or not she should bear a child. These three resolutions were all priority adopted by overwhelming majorities, o bjections that they would despite distort the priorities of the Lobby. The Lobby has a legislative and director, about 14 staff personnel, and about 300 member schools representing several million students. Ultimately, the Lobby hopes to obtain a broader membership base with greater representation. In three short years, it has become a group with similar clout to the National Student Association, an organization with an executive unusual history spanning 30 years. removing Mr. Nixon from office. Finally, Red Faucher, lieutenant governor of Alaska, said he felt political rhetoric was “bullshit” and then sat down. Sen. George McGovern, the 1972 Democratic Presidential candidate, closed the lobby conference with some thrilling remarks about the necessity for leadership from Congress. The Senator avoided calling for the President’s impeachment, presumably because he might ultimately be a juror in the case. But Mr. McGovern had harsh words for the President’s domestic programs and the Watergate scandals in general. There is a crisis in the Presidency, he said, and Congress has been negligent in its duties. Again, he showered praise for the National Student Lobby’s fforts on a group of students already exhausted and tired, but excited to hear their champion speak his pearls. Wednesday, 6 March 1974 The Spectrum Page seven . . �Behind beyond bars , S Prisoners who find themselves forced to participate in therapy often just learn to “play the game” to avoid trouble. “You learn how to make your points (with the prison administration],” said Ellen Butler, a panel member and former member of the Women’s Drama Workshop at Wende Penitentiary. Ms. Butler continued to necessary," Ms. Reynolds said. In medical practice. Pap smears are performed as tests for cervical or uterine cancer, and are usually a preventive measure. In many prisons, however, it seems they are performed only after a medical problem becomes obvious, according to testimonies women inmates. by The slide show included photographs of women at work in prison factories. Sewing criticize such programs for their failure; “Anyone who thinks this type of thing is successful must have been talking to the warden,” she said. is a major occupation in these shops, and one slide of women inmates making American flags brought an immediate response of shocked laughter from the audience. Other slides revealed women working with antiquated machinery, such as certain models of Singer sewing machines which the Singer Company no longer manufactures. This type of training is useless to inmates in terms of finding employment after their release. Wages, too, are minimal. Ms. Reynolds quoted the figures of 11 cents a day or $10 a month for some prisoners. Many women see no reason why prisoners are not paid minimum wage for their work, since their products are later sold outside the prisons. Be a lady’ The issue of job training for women prisoners was discussed by the panel; “Men get trained at something, women don’t they’re because of the laws of the land just discriminated against,” said panel member Carolyn Handy. Ms. Handy is the vice-chairwoman of a Washington half-way home for women, co-founder of the executive board of the National Black Feminists, chairwoman in prison study for the National Women’s Political Caucus, and is now employed by the U.S. Commission on Civil Rights. Ms. Handy urged women to demand passage of the Equal Rights Amendment to remedy this situation. Many women at the conference agreed; Prison life attempts to reinforce the passive role of women in society, who are trained at no skills other than domestic duties. ‘Drug-oriented society’ Drugs are frequently administered to prisoners in the form of sedatives and tranquilizers. Rehabilitation in prison is non-existent, declared Ms. Krebs: “Even the prison authorities will tell you we don’t know what rehabilitation is and we don’t often don’t know what type of medication they are receiving, she commented. , Prostitution The issue of prostitution received much attention at the conference. Marilyn Adams, a member of Art Without Walls, Inc., at Rikers Island Prison, an organization which provides art workshops for inmates, advocates the legalization of prostitution. Referring to drug users as well as prostitutes, she said: “These women are just earning a living, they’re not hurting anyone. from first-hand experience as ex-inmates. Primary tasks of women inmates consist of cleaning, sewing especially and those cooking. speaking Vanity and attention to external beauty is encouraged. Behavior modification When women reject these standards and behavior patterns, and are open in their rebellion, they run the risk of being labelled crazy or mentally ill, and are referred for psychiatric care. Many of these women, who cannot accept the white, middle-class values with which they are being indoctrinated, are often “arbitrarily transferred to mental hospitals,” said Ms. Reynolds at the slide show. One panel member viewed psychiatric therapy and behavior modification techniques, as opposed to physical punishment or beatings, “as the most effective weapon of the prison staff.” These girls shouldn’t time.” several be doing job. _ Women who had done extensive work Women are usually discouraged by with women inmates, as well as the prison staff from touching each other. ex-inmates on the panel, recognized the Lesbian women also have a harder time hostility many white volunteers feel accepting the social values and philosophy directed toward them by black prisoners in encouraged by the prison administration, predominantly black institutions. But they which is usually geared toward also noted that such hostility is directed heterosexual women who will function as toward all outsiders, of any race, since there are so few non-inmates these women part of the nuclear family unit. In discussg the prison staff and come in contact with whom they can trust. economic factors of prison maintenance, There is a process of “proving yourself” Ms. Butler pointed out that “whole towns which a volunteer must go through with the prii of thf staff lives in the town where the prison is located. She also noted that women guards are paid less than male guards. Sadism It was generally felt that some guards are sadistic, but the majority are “just poor people trying to make a buck.” One woman said the sense of power which guards have “is so corrupting, it changes your head, it’s not good for you.” Other guards, it was explained, foster a relationship of maternalism and childish dependency with prisoners. Ms. Ms. Adams explained how from time to time, city governments will initiate clean-up campaigns and arrest all known prostitutes in a given area. “Whether you’re doing anything or not, if they have a clean-up, they just sweep them up,” she said. Other worsen complained that prostitution laws are geared toward apprehension of the woman, rather than the pimps and customers or “johns” who are practically all male. Ms. Butler said: “The john doesn’t go to jail, the pimp doesn’t got to jail, the prostitute does.” If a prostitute is working for a well-known pimp with a large business, who may have influence in the courts, Ms. Adams explained, her chances for imprisonment- are less than if she is a streetwalker in business for herself. She advises that women put pressure on politicians to “get these laws off the women prisoners after they are released. It is hard for a woman to find a job if she has no skills, and if she is a mother she must worry about day care for her children. Many women simply turn to prostitution to survive, since they can often make more money in one night streetwalking than they can all week at a legitimate unskilled prison. even try anymore, we just try to provide custody,” she explained, “and one easy way they can do this is with drugs. The quieter a prisoner is, the happier she is.” Describing the prison experience in general, Ms. Krebs said; “You’re drugged out of your mind, you’re separated from your kids, when you come out you’re completely disoriented. Prison teaches you only how to live in prison.” She added that she is not at all surprised at the high recidivism rate. Ms. Handy complained that some women leave prison with drug habits they didn’t have when they came in. She blames this situation in part on our “drug-oriented society.” Another problem is that prisoners — “They teach you how to be a lady,” women repeatedly commented, ... —continued from paga 1— %M books.” Lesbianism was also discussed by the women. There are two types of women who become lesbians in prison, several panel members reported. One type is the woman who is homosexual ‘‘on the outside.” The other reason women turn to lesbianism is due to the isolation, loneliness, and lack of physical contact in Butler commented on the new emphasis to recruit minority guards: “It doesn’t matter what color they are, they’re guards.” She discussed the ambiguous black guards have with black inmates. While they understand the past environment and problems of an inmate, they are still part of the system and feel “We’ve made it, so can you,” according to Ms. Butler. All the panel members agreed on the need for more outside volunteer groups to work with women in prison. It is advantageous for anyone wishing to initiate such a group to have a university, church, or some other well-known established organization behind you, Ms. Adams advised. “This will give you some weight,” she said, when political manuevering becomes necessary. relationship Volunteers needed Organizations are also needed to help “Do-gooder attitudes won’t wprk." said one woman, who felt that if a volunteer is “for real,” she will succeed. “White women have to stop feeling guilty about being white,” said Ms. Handy. “We have to relate to each other as sisters, as human beings.” Newsletter formed Randye Retzkin, a student at this University who worked extremely hard helping to coordinate the day’s events, felt the conference was highly successful: “There was a lot of good energy, a lot of women who want to wdfk, Sftd we’re happy about the day,” she said. By the end of the conference, several women decided to organize a statewide newsletter concerning women in prison. The Women’s Jail Project in Rochester has agreed to help fund the newsletter, and other sources of funding are being sought. This project was initiated at one of the afternoon workshops which dealt with communication networks. Other workshops at the conference included health care, behavior modification, gayness in prison, legal aspects of imprisonment, making time on the inside meaningful, and the effects of imprisonment. If anyone is interested in the issue of women in prison, there will be a meeting on Thursday, March 7, 8:00 p.m., at the Women’s Center, 564 Franklin St., to discuss what further action can be taken to help women prisoners.

Spectrum Staff Writer The basketball Bulls closed out an exciting but disappointing season in a like manner Monday night, dropping an 89-87 double overtime thriller to cross town rival Buffalo State at the Bengals gym. The loss brought Buffalo’s final tally to five wins in 25 attempts, a complete reversal of last year’s 16-8, while the Bengals closed out their campaign at 8-17. “They haven’t quit all year,” remarked Bull mentor Leo Richardson, “and they didn’t quit tonight.” The Bulls played co ra e- f rom-behind ball throughout the contest, and it looked like the end of the year with one minute left in regulation time and Buffalo down, 69-62. Senior Ken Pope, playing his last game as a Bull, didn’t want to close out the season a loser, and teamed up with junior Darnell Montgomery to pull Buffalo to injured ankle that kept him from first half action, took the ball from Pope with three seconds left and ‘did his thing,’ driving through the entire Bengal team to knot the score at 71-all as regulation! time expired. The senior captain for the Bulls, seeing his last action along with Pope and Rayfield Goss, closed the game with eleven points and his career with 835, good enough for seventh place on the all-time scoring ladder, despite the fact that he played only two seasons. “His ankle is really bad, and 1 was hesitant to .put him in,” explained Richardson in reference to Brawley’s first half absence. “But he came up to me and said he was ready to play, so I put him in.” Brawley wasn’t missed much in the first half, though, as both and sophomore Montgomery forward Jim Randall played the best ball of their short varsity careers. Randall tallied on four of his five field goal attempts and contributed six rebounds before when two at 71-69 freshman center Mike Jones fouling out midway through the fouled out, sending State’s only second half. senior, Mike Bonds, to the line in Good competition a crucial one-and-one situation. “When people say you don’t have a good team,” lamented Goaltending crucial Bonds’ free throw rolled Richardson, “they only look at around the rim, and looked like it your reconrd, and they don’t look within was going to drop through when Hickey forward Jay Bengal committed offensive goaltending, turning the ball over to the Bulls with :06 remaining in the game.

Sirica, the Washington Post reported Friday. The Grand Jury was going to indict President Nixon, the Post reported but declined to do so after Special Prosecutor Leon Jaworski concluded that a sitting President cannot be indicted while in office. The Grand Jury’s action came after the indictment of seven of President Nixon’s former White House or campaign aides H. R. Haldeman, John D. Ehrlichman, John Mitchell, Charles W. Colson, Robert C. Mardian, Gordon Strachan and Kenneth Parkinson for conspiracy to cover-up the Watergate break-in. The indictments by Mr. Jaworski, resulting from the Grand Jury’s investigation dating back to the summer of 1972, listed 45 “overt acts” by the former Presidential aides to cover-up the Watergate —UPI scandal. All seven defendants were charged with conspiracy, six were charged with obstruction of justice, two with perjury, and three with making false statements to the FBI or Grand Jury. — — Ehrlichman Haldeman lied The indictment accused H.R. Haldeman, the President’s former Chief of Staff, of lying when he quoted the President as saying “it would be wrong” to raise $ 1 million to buy the silence of the seven original Watergate defendants, which he testified to the Senate Watergate Committee last summer. This raised questions about President Nixon’s truthfulness, since Mr. Nixon endorsed Mr. Haldeman’s version at a press conference last August 22. Recalling a meeting where clemency was discussed, Mr. Nixon said he had told John Dean, his former counsel, “John, it is wrong, it won’t work.” Mr. Dean has testified that President Nixon had said at that meeting that “there is no problem in raising a million dollars. We can do that.” Mr. Nixon has conceded saying that, but said he added “it would be wrong.” ThesGrand Jury, which has listened to the tape of —continued on page 7— 1196; Michael tor: Doris Diaz, Nova: 1420.

Student problems with DUS advisors scrutinized by Jeff Linder Spectrum Staff Writer Are students at this University getting proper academic idvimmO .s- i-tNext week. Student Association (SA) will be distributing a questionnaire to students to get to the bottom of this question. The questionnaire is aimed at discovering student feelings toward their Division of Undergraduate Education (DUE) advisors. Two recent studies have probed the nature of DUE advisement. Charles Ebert, dean of Undergraduate Studies, conducted a study on academic advisement which produced four main “weak links” in the advisement '• ****** system: 1) Because the advisement system is voluntary, it is and therefore “lacks the follow through” “haphazard” which Dr. Ebert views as “critically important.” 2) Because of a lack of necessary funds, Dr. Ebert has not been able to “hire the type of personnel, both clerical and administrative, to develop a strong advisement staff.” 3) Few advisors have had professional training in advisement, so “the quality of the advisors is not as high throughout as it should be.” 4) Departmental faculty advisement and Division of Undergraduate Education advisement do not “mesh gears.” That is, departments have little communication with DUE advisors. Little confidence in advisors Another investigation, published by Ethos in mid-January, described the most common criticisms of students regarding the advisement process. The central criticism uncovered was that students have little confidence in their advisors. Forty-eight per cent of those polled said they had “little, but not much” confidence in the guidance received from advisors, while 43% felt that speaking with their advisors had been “unproductive.” Student Association President Jon Dandes commented that one of the greatest problems with academic advisors is . that there is little or no interaction between departments explained. If it becomes apparent that, an advisor is not getting and the DUE advisors. “Sometimes a department will for graduation without through to students and dismissal becomes imminent, DUE change their requirements notifying th^DUE advisors,” said Mr. Dandcs. “Advisors; must wait a year before The advisor actually leaves. This is just don’t, get the needed information.” Mr. Dandes was due to contract obligations,” Ms. Wynne explained. For unsure as to who to blame for this lack of communication: instance, one advisor was given notice of dismissal in “Advisors have to depend on hearsay many times because August 1973. He will not be leaving his post until August 1974; however, in the interim he has been assigned new the University catalog is innacurate. Sometimes it works, students. Robert Grantham, director of said sometimes it doesn’t,” Mr. Dandes explained. that this advisor’s assignment of students was only being “monitored” because of limited staff. Lack of information “Advisors don’t know departmental requirements so they can’t give proper advisement,” agreed SA vice Satisfied freshman Suggestions for improvement have been advanced by president Dave Saleh. The advisement system lacks information for students interested in career guidance, John Buerk, director of Orientation. He said that most degree alternatives and graduate school advisement, he freshmen, after their initial orientation, are satisfied with explained. “Students never become aware of the many the advisement system. But Mr. Buerk added that a “combination of advisors and faculty to provide an different programs available to them,” Mr. Saleh said. academic perspective would be best.” Cornell University to whether students are There was disagreement as getting proper academic advisement from the Advisement uses this program very well, he noted. Dr. Ebert’s report recommended that faculty advisors office in Diefendorf Hall. “Students would never like the advisement process just as they would never like a meal from each department be relieved of part of their teaching served by Food Service,” maintained Dorothy Wynne, duties to devote more of their time to advisement.

Page two The Spectrum Monday, 4 March 1974 . . �Universe Assembly ponders Ellicott’s future by Jeff Deasy Spectrum Staff Writer The future of the Ellicott Complex and discussions about changing the status of Campus Security officers highlighted Thursday’s meeting of the University Assembly. Speaking on the Ellicott Complex, President Robert Ketter explained that it was originally designed by a New York City firm to be the first facility constructed on the Amherst Campus, located apart from the rest of the campus. Dr. Ketter also expressed a desire to entice students to live at the Ellicott Complex by advertising such features as the “alive architecture.” The Univetsity will fill 1200 of Ellicott’s 3000 available living spaces next year. He added that the Complex is the only facility in Western New York that combines acadiemic and residential facilities in a self-contained unit. The Complex was designed to give the student “a variety of living experiences” and to include “spaces of privacy,” Dr, Ketter explained. It will include a 270-seat capacity lecture hall, a small group lab, a bookstore larger than the one in Norton Hall, a large rathskellar, library facilities with a book shuttle service from the Main Campus, an infirmary, a creative crafts shop, theaters, seminar rooms, 150 faculty offices and six cafeterias with 3 total capacity of 6000. The recreational areas include indoor game rooms and A-*’*' ,./* - |<V ,Mf If V 5 v ■> i, A; ’-/<*.> outdoor basketball, track and tennis facilities. These outdoor facilities may eventually be enclosed by an air structure or athletic bubble, Dr. Ketter noted. Dr. Ketter also announced that the following departments would begin preparing for a move to Ellicott; French, German and Slavic languages, Linguistics, Critical Languages, Spanish, Portuguese and History, However, all departments will eventually teach some courses there. Students who move to Ellicott will receive the same 10% housing reduction rate as students now living in the Governor’s Residence Halls. The price will be 10% more for a single, 10% less for a triple and proportionately less for six-person rooms, which may also be used as seminar "y rooms. been a marked improvement in the Campus Security’s overall operation, Mr. Dandes said. This was done through a raising of the educational requirements and a lowering of the average age of Campus Security officers, he explained. Two years ago, for example, only two Security officers had completed four years of college. Now 24 Security officers are graduates of four-year colleges. Additionally, the average age of Security officers has dropped from 38 to 32 years. Amherst bus When asked if transportation would be a problem for students residing at the Complex, Dr. Ketter replied, no. However, the decision as to how much bus service will be needed has not yet been made, since the amount of money to be allocated for bus service has not yet been decided. Dr. Ketter was also questioned about the possibility of closing the Governor’s Residence Halls. He replied that such a closing would be “virtually impossible,” but if no students chose to reside there, a closing would, in effect, take place. In other business, Student Association President Jon Dandes suggested changing the status of Campus Security officers from peace officers to police officers. There has The need to change the status of Campus Security officers from peace officer to police officer was suggested by Mr. Dandes. Such a change would make Campus Security officers eligible for retirement benefits and an increase in salary. It would also make Campus Security a more attractive field for those seeking careers and would retain the present Security officers, explained Mr. Dandes. The status change would not cause any jurisdictional change in Security officers’ power and would not affect the question of Security officers bearing arms. ! - ' . .. . More women cops Mr. Dandes also related the recruitment of a greater percentage of women and minority members to an “increased sensitivity” among Security officers. Mr. Dandes said he hoped the Security force would become “a model for the rest of the state .. . perhaps the entire country,” and that a “utopian situation” would result from his status-changing efforts. Four-course load asks departments to analyze credit values Ketter by Larry Kraftowitz Accusing the Faculty-Senate Executive Committee of “verbSI driubletalk” in its defense of the fouricource load, President Robert Ketter last' week called on the' academic departments to determine whether their courses were receiving the appropriate number of credits. In a letter to Faculty-Senate chairman Gil Moore dated February 27, Dr. Ketter said the committee had “failed to address” its response to the Academic Affairs Council’s (AAC) charge to investigate the possibility of a flexible system of courses, worth varied numbers of credits. A return to the system of granting “one credit hour for one contact hour of course work,” or the five-course load practiced at 1968, was also this University before proposed by the AAC, but rejected by the Faculty-Senate executive committee last month. The Executive Committee, convening twice since the AAC memorandum was released, issued a statement to the full Senate urging that “the current four-course load pattern be maintained.” Although the committee by qualified its request suggesting that the AAC develop a mechanism whereby each department could carefully analyze its offerings “to be certain that students are provided a intellectually honest reasonable and education,” President Ketter claimed the - published three week, on Monday.

There should be a wide 'degree of flexibility for each department to assess itself they must state the reasons for what they’re doing," Dr. Ketter added. Last spring, the A AC proposed that the current four-course load had led to a sharp decline in education as measured by - Graduate Record Examination (GRE) However, a Faculty-Senate scores. subcommittee studied the matter and reported last May that the four-course load should not be changed because it had not resulted in “a significant decline in the breadth or quality of the BA degree.” Besides quoting the GRE testing director as saying that comparative GRE scores “indicating nothing about the quality of undergraduate education,” the subcommittee criticized allegations that studentswere receiving only four-fifths of the education that they gleaned under the five-course system, “All such statements erroneously assume a 1:1 relationship between learning and class hours,” the report stated. However, the Faculty-Senate report did suggest that each department scrutinize its curriculum to determine an appropriate credit system for various types of courses. The AAC’s renewed suggestion to return to the five-course load took into account the surveys conducted by various department provosts heads and titch among cr stitucnts to determine their feelings on the four-course load system. In an interview with The Spectrum two weeks ago. Dr. Kettcr discussed at length the issue of credits vs. contact hours. He explained that.he needs a defensible system of credit-granting, “something I can fight for” at budget time in Albany. Dr. Ketter denied that the four-course load was being re-evaluated because students were not spending enough time in the classroom. “The Faculty-Senate is still hung up with four-course load as opposed to five courses,” Dr. Ketter said “For each course, it should appropriately be indicated how many credits is it worth and why,” he explained. The question was not how many courses a student chooses to take, but how much effort faculty members are putting in, Dr. t - Ketter emphasized. Dr. Ketter felt some faculty were “working their tails off” while others were getting “away with virtually nothing.” “I wouldn’t want them to have to measure up a yardstick, but at least to have something they can compare themselves to against something we . . . can use as an argument when we need more resources,” he maintained. A better method of measuring faculty performance has not been found. President Ketter said. Discussing claims that the four-course load has weakened the University’s claim for more faculty, Dr. Ketter said SUNY central administration was primarily concerned with the fact that faculty were meeting the same number of courses for fewer hours per week. He referred to a specific section of the Executive Budget which ordered this University to remove two nursing faculty members because the student/faculty ratio in nursing was too great. ‘That’s getting to be very specific, getting into a particular program,” Dr. Ketter claimed. “We must sell the people in Albany on the four-course idea so that we can go forward. If we can’t, we’re headed for absolute mediocrity.” The International Student Committee & The Institute of Intensive English present A TRIP TO MONTREAL March 19-22 (Spring Recess) Fare-$40: includes Transportation and lodging » ' No refunds made after paid reservation.

The Spectrum: Tenure quotas at the City University controversial. If 10 of New York (CUNY} have been very here apply for tenure, can all 10 people in a department get it? Dr. Ketter: If 10 applied and all 10 met the requirements, it is literally conceivable they could. One member of the Law faculty at Yale told me: Legal education in five years will be defined not by Harvard. Yale and Stanford, but by the University ofBuffalo and a few other places. You have a faculty that seems to be on the move, you have the capacity to add new faculty, you’re not tenured to the extreme. Yale is now 95% tenured. They cannot hire one more person, and the average tenure age is about 45. So they are tenured for the next 20 years. They may be very good at this moment, but they cannot help but go downhill. We have some departments that are as high as 80% tenured, but most of them run something around 35 to 50% tenured. We keep an eye on this. There are no quidelines, except the Carnegie Commission report that came out that said: Once you pass the 50% point, you’d better start looking very carefully at the qualifications of the people coming forward. Your future rests on the young guys starting out, and you don’t want to make it impossible to bring in a young man. The Spectrum: Could you explain the 50-50 admissions policy and the rationale behind it? Dr. Ketter; Historically, from the time we were a private institution up until ’70-71, the University always had between 49 and 54% from the 8th Judicial District it just happened. There was a very [Western New York] the newspapers both the Courier and the strong drive by News to say that Buffalo should dedicate itself exclusively to students from Western New York. They said the disruptions were caused by “the kids from Long Island”; there were a number of editorials. Now there was no question money was going to get tight. When money starts to get tight, you have to have advocates for you. When I talked to people to see if we could get people [legislators] from New York City to come to the fore and fight for us, they’d say; “Buffalo? Why should we fight for Buffalo? We have too much of a problem keeping zero tuition rate in New York City,” There were more people going to college closer to home because the residential living situation was getting too expensive, so we were not running the great risk that quality of students would decrease if we wanted to have roughly a balance. So I said in ’71, there would have to be a 50-50 mix. This would mean taking less people from Western New York than we had been taking before the year before we took 54%. But I needed to be able to make a public statement, so that I could go to the [local] legislators and say: Look, you have to support us. You have to get in there and fight. And the local legislators have done it. The difference in quality between students from the 8th Judicial District and those coming in from outside is the difference between an,89.8 and 90.2 average. In educational quality, it has not hurt us a bit. - - - The Spectrum: That would have to come from the The Spectrum: Isn’t it difficult for you. sitting in Board of Trustees? this office, to know how good a teacher someone is?

Monday, 4 March 1974 . �Parapsychology taught to increase awareness by Jeannie Lewis' Spectrum Staff Writer "Whatever you think, it’s more than that. —Incredible String Band " Parapsychology, a course being offered by College E, has attracted more than 200 students and at least 10 auditors, including some faculty members. The instructor, senior Dale Colton, teaches three sections of parapsychology; she doesn’t get paid and her course'is not funded at all. Ms. Colton, who has a sweet, quiet voice, a friendly/ attitude and an obvious willingness to talk about parapsycfiology, says she was born with psyctyip powers and clairvoyance. “1 always knew things ahead of time. I would, know something was going to take place,” she said matter-of-factly. When asked if this power frightened her, she replied: “No. It was most effective in times of danger. I would warn my As a child it was very difficult because I had no source of reference or explanation. I thought it had to .do with God or some higher help.” Ad hoc parapsychologist Ms. Colton became actively involved in parapsychology about six years ago. “I became aware through popularity in the media. I became close to a lot of the people who were doing research. I’m not so unique at all,” she said with a half-smile. Ms. Colton is closely associated with many scientists who are currently doing research in parapsychology. She has not allied herself with any organizations or specific groups. “I’m what you call an ad hoc parapsychologist, if that’s possible. I don’t want to be limited to one approach,” she laughed. Parapsychological research should be approached scientifically, she feels: “We’re to fear th© ; imknowtu' programmed Parapsychology as’ at ’ science has been accredited by the American Association fot the Advancement of Science. We want credibility so more research can be done.” ; Healing Citing some of the research being done in parapsychology, Ms. Colton mentioned the Maimonides Dream Laboratory in Brooklyn, where Stanley Krippner is doing research with people who claim to have precognitive dreams. “The results are all documented and verified,” emphasized Ms. Colton. She also elaborated on the experiments of Justa Smith, a former biochemistry teacher at Rosary Hill College who now works at Roswell Park Institute. “You’ve heard of healing,” said Ms. Colton, “the placing of hands on the afflicted part of the body of the patient. Healing is actually an increase in the activity of the enzymes of the body.” In Sr. Smith’s experiments, psychics were asked to hold test tubes filled with enzymes. “The psychics had no scientific knowledge,” Ms. Colton pointed out. The enzymes in the tubes automatically speeded up or slowed down. “The psychics let the energy pass through them without knowing how the activity should have been directed. This indicates a possible spiritual intervention,” said Ms- Colton. ‘There is a definite scientific reaction going on here.” Swami Rama ‘The concept of healing has a very mystical connotation. “I’m not saying there isn’t a level we don’t understand,” Ms. Colton, “but the approach here is para psychological and not metaphysical. There is a possibility that part of your own consciousness knows something without the rest of you knowing it,” she mused, Ms. Colton’s teacher is Swami Rama, wlipse psychic and meditative abilities have been investigated at Harvard University and at the Menninger Institute. “By controlling the' mind, you can control the bodily functions,” she asserted. ‘‘He [Swami] can stop his heairt for 22 seconds with no ill effects, or make his heart beat 12 times a minute at will. I’ve seen him do it!” she said excitedly. Ms. Colton feels that her own psychic powers have been greatly increased since she began studying with the swami. “I’ve never seen psychic powers like his. He knows everything,” she said with obvious admiration. , Detachment is key When asked why she is teaching the course in parapsychology, Ms. Colton replied; “It benefits the students in their attitudes and morale. I acquaint them with research being done in parapsychology, but the course is really geared to helping the students realize their own potential.’’ “Students feel subjected to the university system and its impersonal approach,” she began. “Here they can become so aware of what’s available to them. They can learn to relax and be detached,” continued tyss£bltpil. .“Detached lis the Jcsy^Wk;’-1 she.explained. “In a detached, relaxed state, the brain produces alpha waves. I am trying to train the students to produce more alpha waves in order to retain a state of relaxation.” “I use imagery. Imagery can be used in order to retain and relay experiences. It’s like a daydream,” she explained, “but if its's improved, it can be used to playback lectures or entire pages read. It is work towards total recall, and that could sure help students in their grades.” i, Scientific evidence “I’m not trying to get the students to believe anything,” Ms. Colton contended. “I’m trying to get them deeper into themselves. That’s why they like the course, I think. It’s geared to help them be more relaxed and at peace with themselves. They Can apply what they learn.” deals Ms. Colton said she who think people with “compassionately” she is bluffing about her psychic abilities. “They haven’t experienced what I have, so how could they know?” she asked. “I used to think 1 had to be defensive; but now there is evidence and research that is verifying these things. “Psychic experiences are very common,” Ms. Colton declared. “If people's attention is drawn to it, they realize that they have all had some kinds of psychic experiences, no matter how slight, in their lives.” Like touching velvet When asked what her empathic or telepathic experiences are like. Ms. Colton explained: “It’s like touching velvet. You feel it, but it’s not yours. There is a detached feeling with a psychic experience. It has much to do with visualization and inner feeling. The feeling is very strong.” Ms. Colton’s favorite phrase is a line from the Incredible String Band: "Whatever you think, it’s more than that.” Ms. Colton, views widespread psychic powers as “the next evolutionary stage. The whole drug thing is a prelude to it. But 1 don't advocate drugs because they are often uncontrollable and there is lots of dist raction “One-pointedness of mind is what to stive for,” explained Ms. Colton. “If psychic powers were widespread, you would have to be more honest with yourself and with others. Now there is so much dishonesty and lack of human concern. I just try to make people feel at ease and feel the things going on within them. The course itself applies to my students as people,” Ms. Colton asserted with sincerity. She concluded: “Scientists can’t write off parapsychology as a hoax now. You know, fire to the cave man was something to be feared until he discovered what it could mean to him.” ~ Hillel Presents A Truly Great Movie / .

However, an applicant with a lower set of statistics (in similar courses) will often be evaluated more favorably because of factors like sex, geographical residence and extracurricular activities. Choice of major No one is certain as to Which major is preferred by medical schools. Most medical schools have advised prospective applicants to select a major that interests them and to avoid courses that will be covered in the medical curriculum. They also advise non-science majors to do extremely well in their required science courses in order to receive favorable consideration. Many applicants feel that the most important criterion for medical school acceptance is obtaining the highest possible GPA, regardless of academic major (i.e., science vs. non-science major). Most schools require at least three years of college (90 hours) with two years of chemistry (inorganic and organic), one year of biology, and one year of physics as a minimum. Some or require suggest English composition, calculus or advanced math, or additional courses in language, psychology, or the sciences. Geographical residence is another important selection factor. State-supported schools generally give preference to state residents. Out-of-state residents, unless highly qualified, have a very slim chance of gaining acceptance. Even some private schools give residents preference. Consequently, New Yorkers have the best chance with the four New York State medical schools (Downstate, Upstate, Stony Brook and Buffalo). i; C--1 \ ! .. financial problems, advisers and even some schools, have hinted that applicants might be better avoiding the issue. Regarding the need for financial aid, Columbia University and College of Physicians Surgeons said in its application bulletin: “Because our resources for financial aid to students are not limitless, we cannot ignore altogether the factor of financial need. Our resources are large enough, however, to permit us to provide support for a substantial number of students (more than half of our student body, at present); financial aid in accordance with the general guidelines provided by our student-faculty Committee on Financial Aid is available for students that we accept. No students are ever accepted on an ‘accept/deny’ basis, in which admission is offered but no financial aid.” About one-half of the State University of Buffalo’s pre-meds have been accepted to medical schools, as f compared *ttt- the national average of approximately one-third. But what happens to those that are not fortunate enough to secure a place? Some reapply after completing further work (research, hospital employment, etc.). Others take the foreign route, usually at the University of Guadalajara. (Mexico) pr in Italy, Belgium of France. While Guadalajara has a four-year program, the European schools usually require six or seven years for an M!D.

Most schools devote the first 1H-2 years primarily to basic science courses and the remaining two years to clinical experience. During the early years, schools vary in the extent of clinical grading work, class size, procedures and curriculum. The traditional curriculum in basic science includes courses in biochemistry, microbiology, anatomy, physiology, pathology and pharmacology. Some medical schools use the “interdiscipline approach,” in which body systems are studied and the emphasis is more on function than structure. The expense of going to medical school is soaring along for with the competition acceptance. The annual cost of tuition at private schools averages about $3000, and for public schools, $1000. The tuition at the New York State schools is $1600 annually. Working, however, especially during the first two years, is not recommended. Financial aid always seems to be available in medical school.

This bill remedies the situation,” Mr. Wilson declared. by Ellen Eckstein Spectrum Staff Writer This year, for the first time. New York State’s election primary will be held on September 10 instead of the usual June date. A bill pushing back the primary date was passed by the State Legislature on February 12, with the vote going almost strictly along party lines. Many critics have construed it as a partisan action against Democrats. Governor Malcolm Wilson is assured of the Republican nomination; Democratic hopefuls for Governor are expected to erifeage in a bruising primary battle. A September primary means there would be much less time for the Democrats to restore a semblance of party unity before the election. The bill sets precedent for the primary to be held on the first Tuesday after the second Monday in September. Governor Wilson said: Upon signing this bill into law, “the spring primary has resulted in unduly long political campaigns. These campaigns have been expensive and risks of electoral abuse and questionable financing Congressman Ogden Reid (D., N.Y.) opposed the primary date change, claiming; “It shortens the campaign and favors the incumbent.” Another factor in changing the primary date was a case presently before the Justice Department. New York State has requested an exemption from having their new apportionment plan examined by the Justice Department, and the department, as it has done previously, complied with this request. This action is now up for review. The NAACP, prompted by a case brought on behalf of Spanish-speaking residents of Manhatten protesting the lack of an election ballot translation, moved in Statutory Court in Washington, D.C. to have the order granting the present exemption withdrawn. The exemptions were rescinded for the boroughs of Brooklyn, Manhattan and the Bronx on the basis of a 1965 law which states: “If less than 50% of a minority group fails to vote, then the area is not entitled to an exemption. It is now up to the Civil Rights Division of the Justice Department to rule on > whether or note to uphold the exemption. . ■ Federal law states that any plans ft) reapportion the state legislature or amend any election laws must be approved by the Justice Department. If, for example, the state’s population were 60% black, the opportunities for representation of those people should correspond with that percentage. “The problem here,” said a spokesman for Assembly Leader Perry Duryea, “is that there is a tendency for some minority groups not to register and not to vote.” This hampers attempts to determine the ekact number of the minority groups and makes accurate reapportionment impossible. Because the Justice Department may not rule on this case by June, the changing of the primary date “will coincidently make provisions for this,” said Governor Wilson. The one group most affected by this change in the primary date is students. There is presently no absentee balloting in primaries, but the Senate has taken action to remedy this. Last week they passed a bill that would permit absentee voting in primaries effective of this year. Its chances of passing the Assembly seem very good, since it passed a similar bill last year which died in the Senate. While the present case in the Justice Department is a factor in the changing of the primary date, Governor Wilson feels the overridding factor is “the elimination of the long, drawn-out campaign which tends to add to voter boredom and apathy.” Kemp: Wait and see Smith says House will get Grand Jury’s report on Nixon “Eventually, the House Judiciary Committee will get the Grand Jury material relating to the President’s involvement,” Rep. Henry Smith (R., Tonawanda), a member of the House Judiciary Committee, said Sunday. “It’s up to Judge Sirica whether to release it he might delay if it will affect but eventually, 1 believe we those going on trial will get it,” Mr. Smith said. Asked how he felt about President Nixon’s attempt to personally define impeachment as being limited to criminal offenses, Mr. Smith explained: “In the constitutional process of impeachment, the final arbiters must be the House of Representatives. It’s ultimately a political matter.” Mr. Smith recalled Vice-President Gerald Ford’s 1970 remark that an impeachable offense is “anything the House considers it to be at a particular point in history.” “This is politically true,” Mr. Smith assessed. - — Mitchell Haldeman Indictments ~~~ that March 21, 1973 conversation, said Mr. Haldeman’s recollection of the President’s remark, “as he then and there well knew, were false.” Following that meeting, $75,000 was arranged to be delivered to Watergate defendant E. Howard Hunt, and at a White House meeting the next day, Mr. Mitchell assured Mr. Haldeman that Hunt “was not a problem any longer,” the Grand Jury’s 50-page indictment charged. Cites acts by Nixon The Watergate Grand Jury also asked Judge Sirica to give the House impeachment inquiry all evidence pertaining to President Nixon in the Watergate case. According to the Washington Post, the Grand Jury’s report on the President cites specific acts by Mr. Nixon as well as a theory which holds that the President participated in the conspiracy to obstruct justice. Judge Sirica was expected to quickly decide whether the Grand Jury report would go to the House Judiciary Committee, thus ending the impasse against the House receiving secret Grand Jury information about the President’s role in the case. The Grand Jury was dissauded by Mr. Jaworski from indicting the President himself, thePos/ reported. Two Republican members of the House Judiciary Committee said that if the Grand Jury’s evidence supports Mr. Dean and refutes Mr. Haldeman and Mr. Nixon, it could have a significant effect on the current impeachment inquiry. Mr. Haldeman, accused of conspiracy, obstruction of justice and perjury, faces up to 25 years in prison. Mr. Ehrlichman, the President’s former chief domestic advisor, was indicted for conspiracy, obstruction of justice and making false statements to the FBI and Grand Jury, and also faces 25 years in jail. Mr. Mitchell, the former Attorney General now facing trial with former Commerce Secretary Maurice Stans in a separate obstruction of justice case involving Robert Vesco, faces up to 30 years in jail for conspiracy, obstruction of justice, perjury and making false statements to the FBI and Grand Jury. The seven defendants are set to be arraigned on March 9, and Judge Sirica has imposed silence on all sides in the case. No comment “Never before have so many close and trusted advisors of an American President faced criminal accusations in a single indictment,” The New York Times reported. White House press secretary Gerald Warren declined comment on President Nixon’s remark, after Messrs. Haldeman and Ehrlichman resigned under pressure in spring 1973, that they were “two of the finest public servants it has been my privilege to -m -t know.” — Outrage the sensibilities' “If the House did impeach,” he continued, “it could be argued at the Senate trial that a criminal offense is necessary. The Senate might or might not buy that argument. My guess is that they would not.” Mr. Smith offered his own definition of an impeachable offense: “As I define it, an impeachable offense is an offense or action on the part of a federal official which would outrage the sensibilities of the average reasonable person, and one that is harmful to the welfare of the public,” he explained. Citing the staff report of the House Judiciary lawyers, the Republican Congressman said it is certain that “the framers of the Constitution meant impeachment to be more than a criminal offense.” The indictment Friday of seven of President Nixon’s former top aides was not surprising, Mr. Smith feels: “The country has been waiting for the results of the Watergate Grand Jury. A lot of people expected these indictments.” The indictments are “merely charges,” Mr. Smith cautioned, and he is “waiting to see what the evidence brings out.” Since there has been adverse public reaction to “all the unofficial charges,” he explained. Courts may decide He feels President Nixon’s attempt to limit the parameters of impeachment “is what any defendant harassed by charges would say, that these are the charges and I’m not guilty.” He is confident the House Judiciary Committee will use it’s “broad subpoena powers” to subpoena “all relevant materials and documents. We have a constitutional duty to subpoena this material. If the President says no if it comes to confrontation then I suppose it will be settled in the courts,” Mr. Smith said. Mr. Smith doubts the Committee will finish its impeachment inquiry by the target date of April 30 set by chairman Peter Rodino (D., N.J.), but said “we will probably file a report within two months of say, by June 30.” He continued: ‘The that date President has a right to argue his case, but it is the constitutional duty of the House to define impeachment.” He does think executive privilege has validity as “a protection of the office of the - Jackalone elected — — — —continued on page 10 —continued from page 1 — .. the most integrity any discernable pattern; the ferences, allow partisan Robert astonishing 570-vote margin wounds to heal, find places campus Ketter.

"It is a logical absurdity for Mr. Nixon to contend that he has a ‘constitutional responsibility' to use the powers of his office to frustrate an impeachment inquiry into whether he has abused those powers." —An editorial in last week’s New York Times — — 'THOU Of US WHO WOtK IN In recent weeks, The Spectrum has accepted advertising from the United States Armed Forces, and in Friday’s issue, the Reserve Officers Training Corps (ROTC). I strongly object to this newspaper accepting such advertising, as they do not serve the best interests of the students at this University. s AFter conversing with various members of the editorial board, I have ascertained that these advertisements must be accepted so that The Spectrum can survive. Indeed, I recognize the cutbacks that have been made in an effort to save money, and I fully appreciate the problem. But to accept advertising from an organization that has its sole purpose the training of men in the various ways to destroy human life is certainly contrary to the philosophy of this newspaper and 1 presume the philosophy of students in general. Buildings were burned, students expelled, buckshot fired and investigations launched across the country and particularly at this University in response to the presence of recruitment officers on campus and ROTC on campus. Although there has already been a generation pf students since the riots of J969, and although street politics are no longer considered the best method of affecting political change, and although the United States no longer sends trotyls to fight in' Southeast Asia (we hope), 1 wOuld venture to idy that sentiment is still anti-military on this campus. If Richard Nixon insists upon increasing the 8 > t* military budget in peacetime to tis largest ever, then Spectrum should not have to support that The effort. If newspapers begin to turn down the for such organizations, then maybe the defense budget will be cut, and money for more pressing needs (like food for the Appalachians and a realistic welfare budget) wpuld be freed. In terms of this newspaper, the only answer is to seek otheradvertising. While The Spectrum may be experiencing some financial hardships, the only local resolution is greater advertising from merchants.

I assume most of you already know that the energy crisis is over. And that it is all a figment of your imagination that you can only buy gas every other day. (Guess who forgot that, or at least looked at the wrong week on the calendar, and is currently running a very thin line above empty? I only hate the government for personal reasons, not ideological ones, that’s who! ) and the line that there is no recession, just a downturn in the economy, drives me crazy. I don’t make a whole bunch of money. And if I add together last year’s rate of inflation, and just the projected rate for next year, over the last two years I have lost more than a quarter of what I do make. That makes me more than a little uncomfortable, it makes me very anxious in fact. I would like to lose some weight, it is true, but it is clear to me that I would rather do it voluntarily than on the basis of starving it off. I have had large needs to have stocks of canned goods, etc. “just in case,” in the past. Those needs seem to be returning. Congress finally passed an energy bill. Which Nixon is probably going to veto because there is a rollback provision concerning the price of crude oil. The word from on high is that such a clause will block the oil companies from making a fair profit. What in hell is he talking about?

Last Friday a letter appeared in The Spectrum the public, now that active U.S. involvement is ended in South Vietnam, not to forget its debt to men left handicapped by that war. On the following Monday, a lengthy report in The New York Times documented that “far from phasing out its military involvement in South Vietnam, (the U.S.I has descended from a peak of warfare to a high plateau of substantial support, dispatching not only huge quantities of weapons and ammunition, but also large numbers of American citizens who have become integral parts of the South Vietnamese supply, transport, and urging The — - — Bernard Sussman School of Medicine MOT 6U0C6H \UT" it-ct, yk, time and energy were more valuable applied in other ** places.

The Nixon Administration works hard at creating the deception that although “hostilities” continue in South Vietnam, they are without American participation. And, the end of American casualties in a remote foreign land, a national nightmare for so many years, appears a kind of evidence that we are finally out of Vietnam. Vietnamese citizens, however, know differently. They see thousands of American civilian workers who have taken over the essential non-combat duties the Paris Peace Accords forbid Americans to perform. Article 4 of those accords states, “The United States will not continue its military involvement or intervene in the internal affairs of South Vietnam.” But, according to the Times , the various forms of the continued U.S. role include: “$5.4 million worth of ammunition a week, apparently unaccompanied by pressure to restrain military activities;” not only, “Vietnam-based mechanics and technicians, but also the Pentagon based generals who tour airfields to ascertain the needs of the South Vietnamese Air Force, the ‘Liaison men’ who reportedly give military advice from time to time, the civilian Defense Department employees who make ''tq’V provide highly ‘tyfi'k j ,specialised technical help, and the CIA officials who continue to advise South Vietnam’s national police on intelligence matters.” In order that the military competition in South Vietnam be replaced with a political (i.e,, electoral competition, the spirit and the letter of the Paris Peace Accords must be supported. Congress should be instructed that this is the will of the American, as well as the Vietnamese, people. Let your Congressperson know that a war run with American artillery, planes and bombs fueled with guided and repaired American funds and gasoline by American mechanics, ‘liaison men’, and observers is still an American war, even if the dead are Vietnamese.

Mr. Smith said that only in the last few days had he begun “thinking about whether complete non-cooperation (by the President] with the House inquiry is itself an impeachable offense. I think the Committee might find that non-cooperation is an impeachable offense in itself.” However, Mr. Smith said his own opinion would depend on the circumstances and extent of non-cooperation involved. . • • • “1 think it’s a triumph for the system,” declared Congressman Jack Kemp (R., Hamburg) Saturday in reaction to the indictments of seven of President Nixon’s closest aides. “I’m proud of the fact that justice in this country can investigate the highest office in the land. But,” he cautioned against premature judgements on impeachment, “that system also requires a presumption of innocence until proven guilty.” Rep. Kemp is reserving his own judgement on the impeachment of President Nixon until the House Judiciary Committee completes its impeachment inquiry and makes its recommendations. The question, as he sees it, is “how do you protect the office of the Presidency and still get to the truth of the story?” Asked if the indictment of his former top aides casts doubt on President Nixon’s credibility, Mr. Kemp replied: “If you’re asking me if there are doubts about the President yes, there arc doubts. I think the burden of proof is definately on the President.” - ' System is working “Most people knew the indictments were in the offing,” Mr. Kemp continued. “They came as no real surprise. Most people knew that Ehrlichman and Halde man were most likely to be indicted,” Their Indictment “proves that the system of American justice is working,” Rep. Kemp believes, although adding: “An indicfmerttMs-ian allegation and not D C "y • • proof.” Despite the fact that the Watergate Grand Jury charged that Messrs. Haldeman, ErhHchman, Mitchell and Colson had lied repeated in their testimony, Mr. Kemp believes they may have acted in the coverup without the President’s knowledge: “They had plans to keep it from him.” Mr. Kemp is pleased that the House Judiciary Committee will be getting the reports from the Watergate Grand Jury (if Federal Judge John Sirica approves), and feels that “due process” is taking its course. “I hope and expect that he [President Nixon] will cooperate with the House Judiciary Committee.” said Mr. Kemp. ‘The House Judiciary Committee which is certainly not pro-Nixon has not come out and said, ‘He is not cooperating’,” the Republican Congressman expained. Mr. Kemp was asked about President Nixon’s statement that he will only cooperate with the House inquiry to the extent he considers “consistent with my constitutional responsibility to defend the office of the Presidency.” “I hope they will find a means of cooperation, somewhere in between trying to ransack everything the man has ever done, and his saying no, I won’t cooperate at all,” Mr. Kemp explained. - - Hopes for compromise He feels “all the relevant tapes and records” must be obtained, but he will “not support a witch-hunt.” Asked if it is proper for President Nixon to define what he considers proper grounds for impeachment, Mr. Kemp said: “He has rights. Most people defend themselves with what is regarded as self-serving statements.” Will Mr. Kemp support impeachment if President Nixon refuses to cooperate with the House inquiry? “It all depends on what you mean by cooperation,” he explained. “How far does he have to go?” He hopes the House and Mr. Nixon can “work out a compromise,” but .noting that the burden of proof is on the President, Mr. Kemp conceded: “I would expect more cooperation than he has given so far.” He will reserve judgement until the House completes its impeachment inquiry, but admitted that “gross failure to cooperate” on President Nixon’s part would “of course” influence his vote on impeachment.

Poor funding Mari Yeates is a nurse in the Child Health graduate program. Working with the Day Care children has enabled her to gain invaluable skills to complement her experience from Children’s Hospital. She eventually wants to study the behavior of children and how sickness atfects them. By ;«?bserving the growth and development of the child, Ms. Yeates expects to develop a better understanding of the young patient as a person, which in turn will make it easier for her to help children overcome the difficulties they face. Myrthe Naparstik and Phylis Herdendorf teach German to children through the extensive use of visual aids. Ms. Herdendorf feels visual stimulation can help younger children grasp foreign languages more easily. Therefore, the children leam German using puppets, acting out nursery stories that they are familiar with in English. The Day Care children are excited about their German classes and actually look forward to them, a statement perhaps not as applicable to their undergraduate counterparts at this school.

'SA Speakers Boeau piesents— AN ACUPUNCTURE Dr. CY. Trg Wednesday, Mach 6 at&30pm Oak Gym are hvrted to attend acknlsston is free - The University is considering a proposal to build a 3500-seat concert hall on the Amherst Campus to accommodate the Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra, according to the Courier Express. Plans were already underway to build 1500-seat a smaller Performing Arts Center on the Amherst Campus, when two members of the Philharmonic Board of Directors, Robert 1. Millonzi and Manly Fleichman, asked the University to look into the possibility of a larger hall, suitable for the Philharmonic. The additional 2300 seats would reportedly cost $1.6 million. While Facilities Planning vice-president John Telfer denied the Courier report that his office was doing a feasibility study “to be completed in a week or two at the most,” he thought the plan a for concert hall was “wonderful” and would greatly benefit both the school and the community Mr. Telfer said the chances of the State appropriating the funds needed for the facility were good, and even a limited commitment by the Philharmonic to do a series of concerts at the new center would justify its construction. The Courier Express reported that the matter has not been brought before the board of directors of the Philharmonic and board chairman Victor Raisser 11 “refrained from endorsing the Amherst site as a new home.” The two men behind the drive to bring the Buffalo Philharmonic to Amherst are both influential, according to the Courier. Mr. Millonzi is one of the board’s most powerful members and Mr. Flcichmann, a member of the Orchestra Board of Directors, is also a State University of New York Trustee. Sources in the University asserted that no decision on the concert hall will be made in the immediate future Monday, 4 March 1974 . The Spectrum .

Besides receiving training in your own specialty, you’d be in contact with physicians in all of the medical specialties. You’ll function in an environment which is intellectually stimulating and professionally challenging. Not all physicians pursue post residency fellowships. But if you are interested, the Air Force conducts them both in-house and at civilian institutions. The physician already in practice can look forward to other things. If you want training in the practice of the medicine of the future, you’ll find it in the Air Force. For example, there’s emphasis on group medicine and preventive medicine, and the growing specialty of “family physician.” Whatever your interest, there are few specialties which are not being practiced in toda/s Air Force. The physician starting his practice in civilian life has to take into account the cost of setting up an office. The physician commencing his practice in ihc Air Force does not. He finds hisofficeesiablished for him. Supplies and equipment readily available. He has many options available to him when treating patients. For example, he can consult with Air Force specialists. He also has referral to other Air Force facilities via aeromedicaf evacuation.

I have to break my pace and give up some record reviews. I don’t like them, but if I don’t review them that sadistic troll Fernbacher (Editor’s Note:Ain’t no troll, I hate little people because they always get into my pants and I have hotcha) won’t give me any more to slap them to death vinyl to review; and that shit is getting kind of scarce, y’know. Well, might as well get to it. The music on these two albums is so vapid and innocuous that to keep awake long enough to write this, I’m drinking gin and listening to the Best ofOtis Redding. Now don’t get put off. This isn’t gonna be about booze and hockey games or something. I’m really going to attempt some critical appraisal of these albums. At least I can explain why they bore me. Absolutely no one could’ve been more enthusiastic about either of these two bands when they were formed. Back in Philadelphia, particularly West Philadelphia, nearly every street corner and park resounds with the sounds of congas. Samba rhythms and improvised chants a la Art Blakey’s “Sacrifice” provided an eerie and sensual backup track for whatever we were doing in that sweltering dead-end town. I’m sure that five out of ten kids who grew up in West Philly are good conga drummers. When I heard Santana (as in Carlos) was forming a rock band that would use primarily Latin and Afro-Cuban rhythms, I was elated. Since rock and roll had stolen my enthusiasm and love for jazz, by its sheer sensual force I felt doubly fine. - Jo Jo Gunne Jumpin Itye Gun (Asylum) ’ Things were coming home in a way. The first Ip with that trippy Tiger cover was a schuck and I’ve disliked their work ever since. That “Soul Sacrifice” thing that everybody associated with mud and Woodstock and which unfortunately catapulted Santana’s career was taken in form from the Art Blakey and the Jazz Messengers Drum Suite Ip and almost note-for-note from Michael Olatunji’s first Ip Drums of Passion. It is clearly a violation of Olatunji’s copyright on the song, butobvioulsy Carlos forgot that because he claimed authorship on his album. Olatunji spoke about it last year when he was here, he sued Santana, but it didn’t matter, the whole thing just saddened and confused him. Well, what if it was a mistake My mind was finally made up by Abraxas, where I believe Carlos had suddenly started to absorb the style of Gabor Szabo to the extent of playing sections from Spellbinder note-for-note. 1 didn’t question his ability to play Afro-Latin-influenced rock and roll, I questioned his integrity as an artist. That’s all I have against Santana or McLaughlin: it’s the pious ruse that angers me. The album cover to Love Devotion, and Surrender is out of touch compared to say the cover of Muscle ofLove. All the piety and white suits suggests a reality that just isn’t there. They are guilty of cultural misinformation about the roots of American music. They’re capitalizing on God and Coltrane’s corpse. I’ve no objection to their or anyone else’s wanting to be a seagull or to learn Rung Fu, I just resent any distortion of the real thing, a distortion that makes it seem simpler than it really is. The first Mahavishnu Orchestra excited me beyond — — ... reason. Rock and roll was'sufferinggenuine atrophy, when a new and really vital style had been bom. In two short years McLaughlin has become as much a prince and egoist as the most insufferable, and least believeable, of the glitter stars. Sri Chimnoy’s liner notes have become a constant source of nausea for me. But what’s worst is that the music on this live album is predictable and boring. It’s all become incredibly ironic. John and Carlos are now playing and praying together a lot, yet firing members of their bands with a ruthlessness only decadents ate known for. McLaughlin, besides repressing the musical abilities of both Laird and Cobham till one buckled and the other left, has also fired Goodman for not cutting that spiffy pony tail and relinquishing his motorcycle tee-shirts in favor of a tonsure and punjabi suit; and after the violinist complied, McLaughlin fired him anyhow. On Welcome, Santana has put together an incredible band (big names), but the music is emotionless and totally gratuitous. Between Nothingness and Eternity there is an eternity of nothingness, all worked out, obsessed guitar from McLaughlin and possessed drumming from Cobham. There’s good reason to hope for better things from both these bands. At this point in time to take a kinder view perhaps they are struggling with the contradictions of the music biz in America. All I know is they sould like androids to me now .. sounds I once loved. They play like the Dead did last year, to an image of themselves pressed by ASCAP or BMI. For now put your money on Herbie Hancock, or A1 Wilson, or Weather Report. There’s a lot that’s much more rewarding. Les Cargots — - . - This record starts out on a highly energized level and seldom strays from that path almost like a musical mono-toon. Cohesive, to say the best. Unmoving to say the least. Unlike a lot of the supposed “rock” music being foisted upon the pubic public by those glabrous mannikins called “glitter boys,” JoJo Gunne is anachronistic, in a pleasant sort of way. If you don’t believe me, just waste some brain tissue on a song called “High, Drool.” No sexual misguidance here, just lots’a teenage lust. If ya know what “I Can’t Control Myself” by the Troggs is all about, then you’ll have no trouble tackling the message in this here institutionalized anthem. A perfect compliment to Brownsville Station’s “Smokin’ in the Boys Room” and Alice Cooper’s ‘Teenage Lament.” Hotcha. Stick a teach n’ make ’em bleeeed. Other tidbits y can dick twirt to are “I Wanna Love You” and “Red Meat.” This record gets my “Hot Poker in the Eyes” award for the month. Meth on. Joe Fernbacher - In a flashy display of gregarious fleshy coda (like I sure wish they would give up this preternatural obsession with rotund sarcoid megaphysics that’s fat rock for those not familiar with my preoccupation with terminal glossolalia: like ’member “Shake That Fat” from one of their earlier efforts that song re-translates into visually-oriented stimuli on the cover of this record, they’ve even thrown in a few subliminal hints of porcine rock for good measure; a piglet in search of a steamy crotch, wuzza, wuzza), Jo Jo Gunne tickles the glans clitoridis with slashing foot stomping rock ’n madness. Which is amazing in and of itself, seeing’s how they’ve had more than their fair share of brushes with rock ’n dejecta, like their last album was musical puke. Jumpin’ the Gun is consistently sabulous while bordering more than occasionally on pure manical smash-your-head-into-a-brick-wall; hard pumping mutha-humpin’ Rock On. — - Alvin Lee and My Ion LeFevre On the Road (Columbia) to Freedom How Quanit!! Alvin Lee decides to get some religion, southern style that is, so he joins up with that pseudo holy roller and holder of the record for opening up more Mountain shown than anyone else, My Ion LeFevre. And not only that, but old Alvin brought along a whole slew of his limey lads to help out this time around, including Steve Winwood, Jim Capaldi, Ron Wood, Mick Fleetwood and Hari Georgeson (ain’t he cute). The makings of a real badass cookin’ muthafucka of an el pea, wouldn’t you say? Well, if it was 1969 and 1 hadn’t already gone through the onslaught of the School call-up-your-friends-and-let’s-jam albums that have followed since the Cooper-Bloomfield sessions, I might have been interested in this latest piece of vinyl. But it’s not 1969, and I am unenchanted, as I have been for the last 4 years, by Alvin Lee. The mind boggling thing about this record is that it sounds so good, production-wise and yet it conjures up absolutely zero reaction in any part of my anatomy. Everything is real clear, almost too clear. In fact, this is a true technological album, in the sense that it’s music made for and by Androids. So Alvin has mellowed out. Well, the country songs here (Mylon’s influence, no doubt), are insipid, the folky tunes are vapid and the attempts at rocking out are sterile. In fact, the most spiritually uplifting event on the record occurs on “Carry My Load,” when Alvin and Mylon produce vocal harmonies stolen straight from Moby Grape '69. It does my heart good to see homage paid to the grape. Come to think of it, if Alvin had any balls, he would have done a record with Skip Spence. Consider the possibilities . . . Over in my neck of the wood, we can take a little sock with our rock, a bit of soul with our roll. I’ll take the less musically perfect but totally ALIVE field of Slade or the Dolls every day of the week over this obviously competent, extremely proficient, but totally boring record called On The Road to Freedom. TB Sheets RECORDS Mose Jones Mose Knows (MCA) What an insipid album. Boring from first cut to last. Whimped beyond belief, A1 Keeper's southern strategy should have been left in the hands of Jack Daniel’s. Mose Jones is not a good band. Their technical abilities on their respective instruments range from fair to simplistic. I believe this record is part of an enormous and entirely sinister plot of some fiend to make sure everyone lives the remainder of their lives at the lowest energy point imaginable. Let’s face it, when was the last time you did something that made your thing stand on end? Lately, things are god damn boring. Fun isn’t fun, highs are low, people are carbon oriented and rock and roll hasn’t had any energy since San Francisco became as tasteless as confectionary sugar and England decided to stage music shows for the plastic factor of each personaltiy. I realize I’m jaded and all, but beyond all of that is the fact that tasteless material is absolutely unpardonable in these vinyl tight days. Mose Jones never really finds a niche. They alternate between limp rockers, lumbering vocal arrangements better left to Gamble and Huff, repetitive Bros, up tempo jazz riffs, cheap bossa nova imitations and other assorted schlock. This apparent lack of quality is only attributable to the fact that these boys were weined on CArnation Instant Breakfast. Who likes this record? Obviously, A1 Kooper did. But he’s so out of it anyway. Kooper still believes that a kinda cute jew from New york can slide dials and people and come out with “Quality, man!” I mean who gives a shit if A1 Kooper is a musical genius and loves the snoidette sound of a spinning Leslie. Go away A1 and leave us alone. We are tired of being tired of being bored. Lynyrd Skynyrd and Mose Jones are Siamese twins in a sense. They both originate out of Al’s rectally fixated region. Lynyrd Skynyrd’s material is a joy compared to Mose Jones. It is the difference between Gilbert O’Sullivan and Paul McCartney. As subtly as musk oil is junsubtle. The last cut of Mose Knows is entitled “Just Another Highway Song.” It captures the essence of the entire album. Mose must know that each cut is just another love, blues and Bros, imitation. You know the irony is that Mose Jones would deny imitating anyone. Just off the mark entirely. It is not even bad enough to be comically entertaining. Deep depression, fear and loathing. Let’s make a conscious effort not to burn out everyone. We have to keep happy with each other and our record collections. There still is stimulating music on every level. Don’t become so empty and typical as to think that the death of Duane Allman and JOhn Coltrane is where musical heritages have stopped. It could never end. Mose Jones is just a directional sign, a boundary. STAY AWAY FROM GEEKDOM Raoul Stevens - Monday, 4 March 1974 . The Spectrum .

The Broncos gained the Central Collegiate Association tournament berth by winning the season’s series from Buffalo 2-1-1. The Bulls had to win Saturday’s contest by five goals in order to qualify, since tfee bid was awarded on the basis of total goals in tht Bufftilo-Wester Michigan series. The Bulls had held a 1-0 lead after dominating the first period, as Bronco goaltender Steve Roth held off the Buffalo attack virtually alone. Western Michigan then tallied three unanswered goals in the middle stanza, and Buffalo deadlocked the contest on Mike Klym’s 36th goal of the season with barely two minutes to play. Both Roth and Bull netminder John Moore were outstading when tested in the ten minute, sudden death overtime period that followed. “At the start of the second period, we were a tired team,” reported Buffalo coach Ed Wright. “You put together a hell of a period and are ahead 1-0, it’s almost frustrating.” haven’t had it,” remarked Wright. “1 don’t know whether it’s a lack of conditioning or overconditioning or what. It happened against Ithaca [5-4 loss after a 7-3 win], it happened here,” Wright added. Wright replaced Tom Schratz with Tom Haywood on the John Stranges- Mike Klym line after the first period. “I was trying to get some goals,” noted Wright. ‘The red line [Andre Poiier-Tom Haywood-Bill Busch] had a hell of a shift in the first period, and Tommy’s [Haywood] a hell of a forechecker. He makes things happen in the other end of the ice,” Wright continued. Buffalo had played well to defeat the Broncos, absence of 4-2, in Friday night’s contest Stranges, Mark Sylvester and and Mike Perry, who sat out one-game suspensions as a, result of an incident in Western Michigan. Mike Kelly netted the winning goal in the early minutes of the third period. Noisy crowd A total of home series.

In what was definitely their finest offensive performance of the long season, the basketball Bulls upset a strong Rochester area team, 106-95 Saturday night. The loss for the Yellowjackets ran their record to 14—9 with one game remaining, virtually dashing all hopes of a small-college tourney bid. The Bulls picked up their second consecutive road conquest, increasing their record to 5—19. “I think for the first time this year, we finally took advantage of a team that thought they were better than us,” remarked a pleased Bull coach Leo Richardson. When the game announcer mentioned the teams’ records in the pre-game introductions, both the crowd and the Rochester team made light of the situation. Among those laughing at the suggestion of playing a team with a 4-19 record was Yellowjacket head coach Lyle Brown. Brown wasn’t laughing after his team dropped their first home in eleven decisions. - Brown amazed “I can’t believe they’re [Buffalo] record is only 5 19,” remarked the disappointed Rochester mentor. “I was really amazed at the way they moved the ball around.” The Bulls moved the ball around to the tune of 41 assists, shattering the old record of 31 set against Youngstown earlier in the season. Leading — the Bulls in handouts was senior guard Ken Pope. Pope tossed 15 assists, breaking his school standard of 13. “I think we finally grew up tonight,” rejoiced Richardson. Kenny and Gary [Domzalski] finally did what they were supposed to do. Anytime you get guards who run the team, you’re all set.” Domzalski tossed out eight assists while scoring 18 points on a 9—13 shooting spree. Buffalo was led by Otis Horne and Horace Brawley with 26 and 24 points respectively. Rochester’s Gordon Turner captured game scoring honors with 45 points, but it was Turner’s shoe that played a bigger part in the contest’s outcome Shoe-in “The ‘shoe play’ was the turning point in the game,” reflected Buffalo assistant Bob Case. “That made a difference of four points for us when we needed them.” The ‘shoe play’ occurred early in the second half as the Bulls nursed a slim two point halftime lead. Turner’s shoe came off, and the entire Rochester squad fell into mass confusion, leading to four quick Buffalo points and a change in momentum for the Bulls. The Bulls close their season tonight at Buffalo State, as they attempt to avenge last year’s season-ending upset in Memorial Auditorium. The Bengals are led by freshman Greg Miller, who tallied 31 in a victory over Brockport.

Wright lost his semifinal round match to Mike Shuffstall, one of five qualifiers from Slippery Rock State College (Clarion and Indiana State also have five). Wright then won two consolation round matches to place third. There are a variety of reasons why the other Bulls did not qualify. Several were outclassed or Jerry had injury problems. Nowakowski, Bull co-captain and defending champ at 1S8, decided not to make the trip.

No. 60 State University of New York at Buffalo Learning Center and could not receive However, Dr. Ketter said that of the eight newly-added blacks (out of 141 new faculty), one was a department chairman with tenure, four were assistant professors who could recieve tenure after the normal five to seven years, and one was an instructor who could also qualify for tenure. The other two blacks were hired as “visiting faculty” and “clinical faculty,” which are never eligible for tenure. tenure. Racial bias in faculty hiring is charged by State Assemblyman Eve by Gary Co)in Campus Editor ©1974, The Spectrum Is the State University of Buffalo guilty of racial discrimination in the hiring of faculty and staff? Buffalo Assemblyman Arthur Eve thinks so, and he is planning to sue the University to prove it. University President Robert Ketter emphatically disagrees, and he has disputed a number of Mr. Eve’s statistics on the number of black personnel at this University. The conflict surfaced two weeks ago when Mr. Eve stated that there are “only about 23” blacks on the State University of Buffalo faculty. Mr. Eve’s statement was made at a state hearing on the University’s budget request and reported in the Buffalo Evening News. Dr. Ketter immediately wrote to Mr. Eve, pointing out that there are 64, not 23, blacks on the University’s instructional staff. The University is “seriously attempting to increase the number of black faculty members,” the letter stated. As evidence, Dr. Ketter noted that 5.6% of the openings available during the latest hiring period had been filled by blacks, further the proportion of blacks increasing teaching at this University. ,Few black PhD’s Data compiled by the, campus Office of Equal Opportunity in August 1973 indicated that 4.6% of the University’s instructional staff was black, despite the fact that the total number of blacks among persons in the entire country who hold Ph.D degress ranges from a low estimate of 0.8% to a high of 2%, Dr. Ketter wrote. Comparable figures Responding to Mr. Eve’s criticism that only 22% of the blacks on the faculty were tenured, Dr. Ketter said that 88% of the black full or associate professors have tenure. Assemblyman Eve reacted angrily to Dr. Ketter’s letter, accusing the University President of “covering up the facts” by manipulating and distorting statistics. “Dr. Ketter doesn’t deserve to be President,” Mr. Eve declared, adding that he would oppose Dr. Ketter’s re-appointment. Specifically, Mr. Eve said that Dr. Ketter’s claim that there was 64 blacks on the faculty was erroneous because that total included Spanish-speaking persons, American Indians and Africans. However, Dr. Ketter stated Wednesday that the 64 instructors in question were all blacks. Dr. Ketter maintained that because it normally takes an instructor five to seven years to qualify for tenure, the increased number of blacks hired in the last few years were not yet eligible for tenure. “It must be understood that the University has been aggressively seeking black faculty members for only the past several years and the normal time required to attain tenure in the University is five to seven years,” Dr. Ketter explained. Told that Dr. Ketter had disputed many of his contentions with statistics on hiring and tenure, Mr. Eve said that he wanted to see that information “in writing” from Dr. Ketter. Mr. Eve added that even if Dr. Ketter’s factual information was correct, 4.6% black faculty in a state system where 16% of the state was black was inadequate. Tenure eligibility Mr. Eve also said that many of the black faculty members mentioned in Dr. Ketter’s letter were not eligible for tenure because they were on the staff of either the Educational Opportunity Center (EOC) or Learning Center. Dr. Ketter responded that Learning Center personnel were eligible for tenure, but that EOC instructional staff were not eligible because of a New York State law and not a University decision. While the Learning Center is a regular part of the University, EOC is a post-high school, pre-University program which give disadvantaged students college prep and trade prep courses. Dr. Ketter added that the total number of blacks on the EOC staff, and thus ineligible for tenure, was a maximum of 10 and closer to about four. This means that at least 54 of the 64 black faculty at the University are eligible for tenure, further disputing Mr. Eve’s contentions. Mr. Eve also stated that the eight recently-hired blacks on the University faculty were all lecturers at EOC or the Finding black faculty Dr. Ketter agreed that the percentage of black faculty members was far from ideal, but emphasized that the University was actively and aggressively seeking to recruit black faculty and staff. “The departments must go out of their way to make all opportunities known to minority groups,” Dr. Ketter asserted. He said that all departments are required to follow the Affirmative Action guidelines in recruiting candidates. Affirmative action in hiring, which has been mandated by the U.S. Department of Health, Education and Welfare, represents the “University’s longstanding commitment to equal employment opportunity regardless of race, color, sex, national origin, religion or age,” according to a statement by Dr. Ketter. “We’re going to make our positions known to every constituent group, and then from those groups we’re going to take the best qualified people,” said Dr. Ketter. Clifton Yearly, chairman of the History department, outlined the procedure for Affirmative Action that departments must 974 W O OSM ? jjP c - Ue.Mo'RiXy' Friday, 1 March 1974 follow in seeking new faculty and staff. Specifically, the departments must involve minority and women’s organizations, both on-campus and nationally, in soliciting new applicants. Department chairmen must account for the total number of candidates considered, and must specifically list the number of blacks, women, Indians, etc. 'Bigger bag of candidates’ Failure to follow the guidelines results in an immediate halt to any search for faculty or staff, and the department chairman is legally responsible for the violation and can be sued, Dr. Yearly explained. Affirmative Action is designed to open the competition for jobs to alt groups, to provide for a “bigger bag of good candidates from which to choose,” Dr. Yearly said. But Affirmative Action does not necessarily mean that blacks must be hired; rather it is intended to insure that the competition is open to everyone. Dr. Ketter, however, said that the success of Affirmative Action must be measured in recognizable differences in the number pf blacks hired, as well as in the legality of correct procedural steps. The University’s minority recruitment program is “continually improving,” he said, but “not as fast as 1 would like it to improve.” Some time ago, President Ketter called all the unit heads (department chairmen, provosts, etc.) into his office and “raised hell about chiseling on Affirmative Action,” Dr. Yearly reported. Additionally, Dr. Ketter threatened at a Faculty-Senate meeting to freeze faculty hiring if the unit heads didn’t get moving. No unilateral action Mr. Eve also criticized Dr. Ketter for teminating the program under which a number of job openings were set aside for nimority groups. Dr. Ketter explained that he was informed by the University’s legal counsel that the maintenance of minority hiring lines was illegal. He added that the program was cancelled after extensive debate in the Faculty-Senate, and was not a unilateral action. However, Mr. Eve contended that a similar program is currently in operation at the University of California. As he plans his proposed lawsuit against the State University of Buffalo, Assemblyman Eve is planning to meet with SUNY Chancellor Ernest Boyer to discuss of racial discrimination questions throughout the entire SUNY system. As well as suing this University, a lawsuit may be filed by the Black and Puerto Rican Caucus of the State Assembly against the statewide SUNY system for racial discrimination in hiring. �NFTA transit proposal still under construction by Seth Baskin Spectrum Staff Writer - The Niagara Frontier Transportation presented (NFTA) three Authority alternate proposals for the future rapid transit system running to the North Campus at a public forum Tuesday night. The- study, compiled by Brechtel Associates, suggested three possible routes. The first (route A), Bailey Avenue and the Boulevard Mall, would have five stations, serve approximately 45,000 riders and be the most expensive to build. The second (route E) would be the middle-cost one and would run between the Main Street and North Campuses along Millersport Highway. This would also have five stations and eventually serve 31,000 passengers daily. The third route (route C) would travel down North Bailey Avenue as far as Sheridan, but then cut diagonally toward the North Campus. This would be the least expensive to build, but have only four stations and transport an estimated 35,000 passangers daily. Mostly underground All three routes would be constructed underground from the Main Street Campus to Sheridan, but the remainder of the route would be aerial. This section, as scheduled in all three routes, will not be built directly over any residential section. “Below the aerial trains there will be parks and bicycle paths,” said Franz Veit, an architectural consultant. The stations themselves, unlike those in New York City, will have landscaping around them to cover the unappealing features and to make the structures more attractive. Escalators will be installed at the stations for easy access. An NFTA spokesman divided the noise J . factor into two categories; construction The p o s t c on st ruction . and post-construction noise in the vicinity of the aerial track was deemed “not a bad situation” by the NFTA. The underground stretch would have cushioned track beds installed to hold the noise down. The noise levels meet all federal gui4elines and fall into a category termed “Normally acceptable.” Noise during construction will be minimized by limiting the contractors to working only in the daytime during the week. A’s the best People with houses, land or businesses along the route that will have to be relocated will be compensated for their loss, NFTA officials said. Joseph Gillings, director of Planning for the Town of Amherst, said.: “Route A looks the best for two reasons; If offers the largest tax base and would cause the least disruption in the area. “The Rapid Transit System’s ridership will be between 20,000 and 40,000 riders by 1995,” predicted Walter Kulash, a planning consultant. “18-20 lanes of traffic road would be required to accommodate cars carrying an equal number of commuters between the South Campus and Sheridan,” he said. “The people will use the train system for three reasons: it will be faster, less expensive and more convenient than any other mode of travel.” the The three proposals and recommendation of route A is the result of engineering, extensive research by architectural and environmental experts. The NFTA will now decide whether to act on this recommendation and go ahead with construction, or postpone action until other proposals are drawn up. >4 BECHTEL ASSOCIATES JOOOOOOOOOOOC Announcing the OPENING OF THE Come feel the hills and feet. | •81-3400 US Elnweed Art,, MM* VAJRAYANA Restaurant VOTE!!! serving Indian Cuisine 530 Rhode Island St. (off Richmond) ;ercise sandals rest your feet in - <ws and the rises.

Friday, 1 March 1974 vs : .. - �Medicine by Jeff Deasy Spectrum Staff Writer When does a fetus become a person? How should we define death? Does society have the right to decide how the sexes should be balanced? These and other controversial questions are being raised in Richard Hull’s philosophy course, Socail and Ethical Values in Medicine. The course differs from most academic offerings because it does not give answers but instead raises specific questions. The course studies the complex and controversial moral questions of medical ethics. These issues include abortion, euthanasia, and genetic manipulation. People should not look to authorities, legal or otherwise for answers to such moral questions, Dr. Hull believes. Fetus or child? Does the decision as to whether an abortion is with the justified rest individual? Dr. Hull questioned the assumption that only cine individual is involved in abortion. If one takes the stance that a fetus is a child at conception, at least two people are involved, he explained. And if one takes into account the male partner in the conception, three people are involved. If the issue of the child’s representation is to be taken into consideration before a decision is made Hear 0 Israel For gems from the • Jewish Bible Moral values questioned the question of who will represent the child must be answered. The basic question concerning abortion, Dr. Hull believes, is: “At what stage is the fetus a child?" Along with the subsequent questions of responsibility for pregnancy and a woman’s right to control her own body, Dr. Hull’s class is discussing this basic question in-depth. Viewpoints range from “abortion is murder” to an acceptance of the Japanese practice of paying women to conceive so fetuses can be aborted and used for medical study. Parallel to the question “When is a fetus a person?” are the questions “What determines death?” and “Is a death a process or an event?” These considerations become important in medical cases where a patient may need an organ transplant from another patient who may or may not be dead, according to differing opinions of what constitutes death. In such cases the question, “Is one life more important than another?” must also be considered, Dr. Hull noted. cases. Dr. Hull suggested. What is death? a person’s request for euthanasia couldn’t a deciding board cause undue suffering while they are deliberating? “Is the person making the request competent to decide if he should undergo euthanasia?” asked Dr. Hull, Death on demand should be an informed But if approval, process, he noted. the opposite end of the spectrum death is birth. Today’s ethical controversy concerning birth involves the use of genetic manipulation. European doctors have developed a way to separate male and female sperm cells. Dr. Hull said.

In a recent case/involving euthanasia, a man, who had shot and killed his permanently crippled brother at the request of the crippled man, was acquitted on the grounds of temporary insanity. Some kind of knowledgeable panel of experts might possibly be used to decide whether euthanasia is justified in and progress is being made by others toward predicting the sex of an unborn child [see The Spectrum February 4, 1974, page onej. If couples are able to choose the sex of their offspring, what will the consequences be? In paternal societies, a decrease in the overall number of children but a sharp increase in the percentage of males might result, Dr. Hull speculated. Such a change in the population may also cause, as a direct result, the loosening of monogamous marriage laws, he suggested. If such consequences are to be avoided, “docs society have the right to decide how the sexes should be balanced?” Dr. Hull asked. The basic question concerning genetic manipulation, he believes is: ‘To what extent will there be social regulation of mating patterns and what form will such regulation take?” Dr. Hull’s course is primarily directed toward pre-med students with a sense of social concern. The student taking “Social and Ethical Values in Medicine” has a chance to come out of the classroom with a raised level of social consciousness. Yet today’s medical profession may not be ready to accept such social concern. Dr. Hull expressed the fear that medical schools may weed out students who show social concern, just as private corporations do not advance those who have socialist beliefs.

There is currently a news blackout in this area on Wounded Knee, and we must bring people here to explain events.” The events which included a talk by Ellen Movescamp, an Oglala-Sioux woman active in the Oglala-Sioux Civil Rights Organization, art exhibits and workshops dealing with Native Americans in prison, were sponsored by the Native American Cultural Awareness Organization and the Native American Studies Unit of the American Studies vice-president, Student Affairs vice-president.

At the request of the United Auto Community Workers Action Program and the city and county governments, the ATCC is making a concentrated effort to deal with this and other alleged inequities in the New York Telephone Company. Referring to themselves as “the lone phone rangers,” the ATCC has been active for almost ten years, representing the consumer at Public Service Commission rate hearings and advising the public and businesses on how to cut down on their phone costs. Chief Levine, George Consultant of the ATCC, said they began working in Buffalo in July, 1972, after the phone rates were increased for the second time in one year. The third and latest increase, which went into effect in December of last year pushed the to a up as compared to Los Angeles and $5.95 and in $4.80 rate flat monthly $11.52 San in Francisco Washington, D.C. In response to the increase, Mr. Levine has written a pamphlet other area bookstores. Entitled “How to Cut Your Buffalo Area Home Phone Bill up to $80 a Year,” the pamphlet will “give immediate guidance to Buffalo area rate payers and also give an understanding of the conflict that exists,” to try and preserve “the right to rap,” Mr. Levine said. The book explains in some detail the three rate systems available to Buffalo customers; the flat rate offering an unlimited number of calls at $11.52 a month, the Measured Service costing $7.00 which allows up to 50 calls a month, and the Budget rate at $4,03 a month plus 8.2 cents per call. It tells how to pick the best plan to suit an individual's needs. For example, if a person makes about 60 calls a month he could save over fifty dollars a year by electing to take the Measured Counselor controversy 1972, a five day program to bring the community in touch In March of coordinated was with political and cultural issues among Indians, “A lot of good interaction developed from that project,” said Mr. White.

Mr. White would like to see further expansion of Native American studies on campus, specifically through further recruitment efforts of students and development of programs, “as a liasion with the community,” a demand to which the administration has not been responsive, he claims. Another major area of controversy involves the hiring of a Native American counselor in the Equal Opportunity Program (EOF). Dr. William H.

Friday, 1 March 1974 �Wounded Knee delegate relates continued struggling of the Sioux by Linda Moskowitz Feature Editor In 1868 the United States government signed a treaty with the Sioux nation in which the Indians were granted their own area of land and were permitted to govern their people in the manner which they saw fit. Above all, it was a peace treaty between the U.S. Federal government and the Sioux people. The year 1890, however, marked one of the bloodiest massacres in Native American history at the Wounded Knee village, where 300 unarmed Indians were killed by Federal troops, in complete violation of the 1868 treaty. In 1974, the Oglala-Sioux people of the Pine Ridge reservation in South Dakota are continuing to demand that the U.S. government live up to the terms of that treaty. Although the national media has played down the events of Wounded Krtee in recerit months, a bitter factional struggle continues between the Oglala-Sioux people on the Pine Ridge reservation who_support Russell Means and the American (AIM); and Dick Wilson, the current /tribal chairman of the reservation. Ellen Movesc'amp, a Pine Ridge resident who has been active in the Wounded Knee struggle and who spoke here against the Federal government the Native American in night conjunction with Tuesday students’ presentations for the one-year anniversary of refers to Mr. Wilson the Wounded Knee occupation and his supporters as “goons.” — — Election discrepancy Last February 7, elections were held on the Pine Ridge reservation for a new tribal chairman, who essentially governs the reservation. Dick Wilson, the incumbent candidate, ran against Russell Means, who is currently on trial in St. Paul, Minnesota on an 11-count indictment stemming from the 1973 Wounded Knee disorders. Along with many others on the reservation, Ms. Movescamp believes the election was fixed in Mr. Wilson’s favor. “At 11:30 that night, Wilson was announcing his victory, with 500 votes still to be counted,” she explained. The ballot boxes were taken to Rapid City, and Ms. Movescamp claims “the last word we’ve heard is that there were more ballots in the box than there were names on the voter registration lists.” Ms. Movescamp accused Mr. Wilson and his associates of harassing those voters supporting Mr. Means, Mr. Wilson “sent his bodyguards out to white ranchers outside the reservation and had them fill out voting ballots in his favor and put them in the pool box,” Ms. Movescamp claimed. Harassment reported The outcome of the election is now by a Rapid City to be decided judge, who could declare the election Editor’s note: This statement by Oglala-Sioux Chief Fools Crow, is addressed to the American people and Federal Judge Fred Nichol, who is currently presiding over the trial of Russell Means and Dennis Banks in St. Paul, Minnesota. We are all Oglala people, landowners and traditional people. We have come to a court we don’t know, which doesn’t know us to tell everybody who will listen that we stand with our brothers Russel Means and Dennis Banks, Togther we stand with our traditions, our land, our medicine and our Treaty is backed by the U.S. government, endorsed by the John Birch Society, and also has a large construction company standing behind him. “He’s got so much going for him on the reservation,” she said, “but while the people are going down the drain, he’s getting richer, without owning even a teaspoon of dirt on that reservation.” “He just uses brute force,” she continued, “and pays his goons good money for protecting him. He gives his group of people good jobs and positions, and calls them back to the reservation. The government is sending $45 million to the Pine Ridge reservation, but it never reaches the people. The goons get the money. He knows which people are with him and which people are not.” Ms. Movescamp cited the case of a Mr. Eastman, who was supposedly sent to the reservation as a federal crime investigator, but “he’s in with them as deep as Wilson himself.” She also charged that “the FBI is with Wilson” and so Wilson’s men need not fear legal prosecution for their actions as they can “have their identities changed.” Hunting made difficult “Wilson’s men all have gun permits from the government,” she also noted, “but when one of our Indian people go hunting for rabbit or deer, the cops stop us and take the guns away. These people get punished, but the goons can go around killing people.” “We had two funerals this past Friday and Saturday, and we knew those people were murdered,” Ms. Movescamp said. “Wilson stated there won’t be any charges made, and claims they died of exposure.” Even before tribal elections, a mood of apprehension that was apparent at Pine Ridge. “Everyone knew something would happen by the 7th,” said Ms. Movescamp. “On February 1, the goons were at the tribal office all night and at the office next door, where they keep certain files. We saw them hauling out piles of papers and burning them. We couldn’t see what it was they were burning, but people were scared. They heard the men making plans and they were warned that if Russell Means bloodshed.” won the election, there would be call for new proceedings. “For some reason the judge has not yet made a decision,” continued Ms. Movescamp. “He could call for re-election or decide in favor of Russell Means, or play it as he’s been playing it and let Dick Wilson stay as the tribal chairman.” Ms. Movescamp reported further harassment of the Oglala people at Pine Ridge on February 9, two days after the election, when “Dick Wilson was seen passing out 36 rifles to his men after taking off the serial numbers, and sent them out to distribute letters to three-quarters of the reservation people, ordering them to move off the land,” she maintained. “1 don’t know if he [Wilson) will get the job done,” she commented, “because there’s too many of us, and there’s no place for the people to go. We’ve told people not to move and not to be scared but you can’t blame them for being scared when they’re being shot and intimidated in their own homes.” So far, none of the people have moved. illegal and Fear Dick Wilson is greatly feared at Pine Ridge because, according to Ms. Movescamp, he is a powerful man who Ellen Movescamp going along well, and reports that much of the government case is based on unsubstantial evidence and perjured witnesses who “never tell the truth, and get their testimony all mixed up and then admit that they’re are lying.” example of alleged false government evidence is document which was used to send for the federal marshall when the Oglala-Sioux seized the Pine Ridge reservation. Ms. Movescamp said that so far several such documents have been produced, but in three different handwritings, and with no official signature. “The government has no substantial case,” she concluded. “They had no cause to enter the reservation.” One the Impeachment efforts fail “Everyone knew,” she said, emphasizing the point. Referring to Mr. Wilson’s supporters, she explained: “Those men get drunk and sit around bragging about what they’re going to do. People really feared trouble, but just had to sit around watching this.” All attempts by the anti-Wilson Indians at Pine Ridge to remove Mr. Wilson from his office have so far failed. According to Ms. Movescamp, over 14,000 signatures were collected on a petition to impeach him, but the Federal government refused to accept it as a valid document. Ms. Movescamp claims the government thought non-reservation Indians signed the petition. She also said that people were later forced to sign affadavits stating they were forced to sign the petition under everywhere. We called our brothers and ALM_(American Indian Movement) to help us because we were being oppressed and terrorized. They answered our call. We now call upon all people to honor our people and to honor our Treaty Rights. If Dennis Banks and Russell Means go to jail for supporting the dignity of the Sioux Nation and the promises made to us, you must be ready to send us all to jail. If we cannot live with our brothers in freedom according to our ways and tradition we are ready to join them in the white man’s prison Rights. We represent not only ourselves but the Oglala Band, the Sioux Nation and concerned Indian people —Santos OGLALA SIOUX CHIEF FOOLS CROW Traditional Chief of the Oglala Nation pressure, a move which she believes was done “just to make Wilson look good.” Although the Wounded Knee occupation by Federal news issue last year at this time, the troops was a establishment press has considerably played down its coverage of all subsequent events. Ms. Movescamp believes this is due to government pressure being exerted on the media. “The FBI has visited the press,” she asserted. “We know our lines are tapped too. They don’t really want the truth known.” Government evidence contested “Even before Wounded Knee, we couldn’t get press releases off the reservation,” she continued. “The only people who got press releases out were who Dick Wilson authorized.” There were orginally over 100 additional federal cases arising out of the Wounded Knee incident, involving lesser charges against men and women who range in age from their teens to middle age. Some of the cases have been dismissed and others are still pending. Ms, Movescamp is positively optimistic about the trials of the Wounded Knee defendents. She thinks they Trials continue The more prominent Wounded Knee trials, which are being held in St. Paul, due to the less prejudicial atmosphere than South Dakota, involve the leaders of the anti-Wilson Indians, and several members of AIM. Russell Means and Dennis Banks are currently being tried. March 1 is the tentative date for the trial of the other four leaders, Clyde Bellecourt, Carter Camp, Leonard Crow Dog, and Stan Holder. Pedro Bissonette was the seventh defendant, but was allegedly killed by Bureau of Indian Affairs police on October 17, 1973. The Oglala-Sioux people want a settlement based on the 1868 treaty, Ms. Movescamp explained: “The treaty is very important, especially to the older people. It would mean we could be free to live our lives the way we used to. We could farm our land, own our own cattle and horses. We wouldn’t have to live on welfare. There would be no guns, no jails where people are handcuffed and chained.” Demands stated Another demand of the Indians is repeal of the Indian Reorganization Act of 1934, which invalidated the Indian governmental system of chiefs and instituted the tribal elective system. Ms. Movescamp and many other Indians also desire a reorganization of the Bureau of Indian Affairs, which is now a branch of the U S. Department of Interior. The department’s “oil/mineral/park interests conflict with the Indian interests,” according to a leaflet distributed by the Wounded Knee Legal Defense/Offense Committee. Another issue involved in the Wounded Knee dispute involves the organization AIM, whose members Ms. Movescamp said were invited into the reservation after the distrubances began “AIM is not guilty of the crimes they are charged with, it is the Oglala-Sioux who initiated the negotiations,” she strongly emphasized. “Dick Wilson is now turning around and starting anti-AIM groups,” Ms. Movescamp said, which she believes is wrong since the major problems at Pine Ridge involve the Oglala-Sioux people themselves, many of whom support AIM, but are not directly affiliated with the group. Speaking on behalf of the women at Pine Ridge, Ms. Movescamp emphatically concluded: “We are tired of the dictatorship, of Dick Wilson and tired of seeing our people intimidated. If he refuses to remove himself from office, we are going to physically pick him up and carry him out.” She added: “That’s what we should have done before Wounded Knee.” Friday, 1 March 1974 . The Spectrum . Page five �Through the DITORIA Looking Glas Vote today Today is the last by Barry Kaplan day for undergraduates to have a say in the composition of next year's Student Association. As we have argued all week, we believe Frank Jackalone has the knowledge, imagination and leadership to be an outstanding SA President. He is far better qualified than Bob Burrick, who has only a superficial grasp of important issues. Mr. Jackalone has exciting plans to "open up" SA to more students, revamp the farcical Student Assembly, aggressively deal with the Administration and increase the student voice on the Colleges, 4-course load and other academic issues. Regardless of your preference, however, vote. It only takes two minutes. Pressure and minority hiring Angered by the glacial progress of Affirmative Action, the federally-mandated program for aggressive recruitment of minority faculty, Buffalo Assemblyman Arthur Eve has denounced President Ketter and is planning to sue the University for racial discrimination in hiring faculty. While Mr. Eve's intentions are sound, he seems to have many of his facts wrong. Armed with misguided information, Mr. Eve has been irresponsible in making erroneous statements to the press, calling Dr. Ketter a liar, and slandering this University at budget hearings. But whether the University's 1384 faculty contains 23 blacks, as Mr. Eve claims, or64 blacks, as Dr. Ketter maintain, is irrelevant. Even by Dr. Ketter's estimate, 4.6% black faculty in a state with a 16% black population is a disgrace. Dr. Ketter has made personal efforts to get the sluggish University bureaucracy moving on Affirmative Action. He threatened a complete freeze on hiring if the provosts didn't act, and 5.6% of the faculty openings in the latest hiring period have been filled by blacks, a slight improvement. Formerly, many job openings went unpublicized and were filled by an "insider" or an old friend of a department bigwig. Affirmative Action mandates that all job openings women, must be publicized to all constituent groups applicant the most qualified with blacks, Indians, etc. being chosen from the pool of candidates. The loophole: "insiders" can still be lined up for a job months before it becomes "officially" available, so few minorities will actually be hired, despite an increased pool of applicants. But short of imposing minority hiring quotas, which are illegal, only continued pressure on each department whether the threat can negate the old of a hiring freeze or of a lawsuit prejudices in some quarters and bring about tangible results in the recruitment of minorities. A major problem, however, is that the University hires almost exclusively Ph.D's, and only from 0.8 to 2% of those in the country with Ph.D's are black. This is a Catch—22 — - — — nightmare, like not being able to get a job without a Ph.D and not being able to get into a Ph.D program without job experience. The long-range answer is to open up doctoral programs to minorities and the poor through increased financial aid, but with aid being cut back and public reluctance to fund aid programs increasing, this will be slow to change. For now, other measures of expertise must be developed for the minority student whose path to across- the-board the white Ph.D has been blocked by prejudice, and for the lower-class student simply unable to afford the expensive doctorate. A Ph.D doesn't make a good teacher, it is only the certification of two years of intensive research. Job experience private research and writing, and teaching experience at a community college or elsewhere should be equally weighed with Ph.D certification for both blacks and — whites. This would not be unlike medical and law school admissions, where recommendations, essays and other criteria are weighed more heavily for minority students than scores on Anglo-oriented, culturally biased achievement tests. Faculty standards should not be lowered; those with alternative credentials must be as qualified as those with Ph.D's. Such efforts are far from perfect, but coupled with aggressive recruitment of minorities, equal consideration of non-Ph.D expertise can help break the nightmare cycle of discrimination against minorities and the poor in getting Ph.D's perpetuating discrimination in hiring faculty. Meanwhile, Mr. Eve had better get his facts straight if he seriously intends to sue the University. But perhaps his intent was merely to pressure the Administration into aggressively minorities at this recruiting more women and predominantly-white University. For only continued pressure can translate Affirmative Action into the reality of a racially-balanced campus. Page six . The Spectrum . Friday, 1 March 1974 _ At the time when goodness reigned throughout the land and evil met its just rewards, a certain Mr. Smith went to Washington. Portrayed by a young James Stewart, he was a model citizen, a leader of impressionable American youth -as well as a fervid believer in the American system of justice and government. Through a fluke, Mr. Smith is sent to the Senate in order to fill the seat of a recently-departed gentleman. Mr. Smith’s obvious ideals, naivete, and youthful enthusiasm soon ran afoul of an insidious cabal that was attempting to despoil a beautiful valley and collect a few bucks on the side. This cabal, which incidently contained the same politicos that put Mr. Smith in the Senate, represented a cancer upon the growth of the American body politic, and all good viewers realized they would have to be defeated if the American system was to survive. Despite the fact that Mr. Smith’s political future rested upon the good graces of this syndicate, the heroic Mr. Smith singlehandedly attempted to slay this symbolic dragon. Despite abuse, slander and other assorted slings of outrageous fortune, Mr. Smith, in a dramatic climactic scene, uncovers the evil-doers, saves his good name, and cleanses the American body politic. This final scene thrilled many a young and impressionable viewer and reinforced and emphasized the virtures of America in an era which questioned many of the fundamental foundations of the American spirit. This film is an example today of what we would term a “Pollyanna Mentality.” Walt Disney studios constantly grind out the sticky stuff every year, and every year America s youth just sucks it up. Well, it’s about time that some movie-maker created a film about present-day America which would emphasize all that is good, decent, and wholesome in American life. For instance, a recent front page of The New York Times (February 26, 1974) had these following headlines: “Worsening of Slum Housing Abandonment Feared,” “Wheat Stocks Depleted,” “Price Outlook Uncertain,” “Kalmbach Pleads Guilty to Two Campaign Charges,” “State Begins Regulating Sale of Gasoline Today,” “Nixon Asserts a Criminal Offense is required for an Impeachment.” Now that the paper is filled with such drastic and shocking headlines, it is imperative that this country find a new pollyanna, and let this savior find the good under such stormy headlines. Since 1968 Richard Nixon has constantly fulfilled the role of Pollyanna for this country. If thousands of men died in a senseless and brutal war, then according to our Pollyanna, it was still less than the figures that preceded his administration. If inflation was 5%, Dickie would tell the nation that at least it wasn’t 10%, ad nauseum. Unfortunately, Dickie has been Pollyanna for so long that no one believes him anymore. As a result, there has been a nationwide search which will hopefully produce our new Pollyanna. This search for a new Pollyanna climaxed convention in Atlantic City, where the finalists gathered in three-piece grey suits and answered questions delivered by a panel of impudent snobs. As a correspondent to this convention, I would like to reproduce the answers that helped one young lady become our new Pollyanna. Q. According to The New York Times, our grain reserves are at their lowest point in years and the price of bread might reach $1 a loaf. Could you comment on this? A. Tfie low supply of wheat and the possibility of dollar-a-loaf bread is an excellent situation for the American people.

By sacrificing, this country will learn self-discipline, and the people will lose thousands of pounds of ugly fat. Let them eat at a meat. Q. A grave problem has been the rising number of abandoned buildings in the heart of our central cities. Could you comment upon that situation? A. This is the only solution to the problem of urban congestion in the central cities. Most of these abandoned homes used to be slums; now that these people have moved out, there are no problems whatsoever with overcrowding, disease, parking and other urban ills. Q. Recent allegations have insinuated that the President of the United States might have initiated illegal acts or, at the very least, used the power of his office to cover up illegal actions by subordinates. How could you justify this? A. America has long been considered the land of equal opportunity and this means that the highest office of the land is open to all including crooks. If the highest office groups land of this was not open to crooks, half of the What candidates would have to drop out would happen to our country if only honest men would run our country?

Many feel that America has reached its apex and is now on the long road downhill. Do you feel this way, and what do you consider good in America today? A.

Obviously missing from your brief editorial was mention of the great job our publicity and information directors did, Denise Esposito’s achievements with the club divisions, and Howie Shapiro’s many accomplishments with regard to the north campus. It’s unfortunate that more time and space was spent criticizing one coordinator than was used to list the positive achievements of any other person. There are many items, positive and negative, Cliff Palefsky Student Rights Coordinator Editor’s Note: The editorial was an attempt to evaluate the highlights of this year's SA, not to give a detailed analysis of each officer's performance.

Editorial policy is determined by the Among the risks any candidate must take in running for political office is the possibility of the “post-endorsement blues” contracting nervous affliction appears in This syndrome. candidates (and their advocates) who fail to secure the endorsement of a particular publication. It has been demonstrated, especially during the course of Student Association election campaigns, that ‘'post-endorsement blues” often precedes a noticeable lack of “post-endorsement etiquette.” Thus, while the endorsed candidates (and their advocates) are flattered and excited by the extra boost to their campaigns, the “losers” parade around Norton Union with droopy faces, attempting to rationalize the unfavorable editorial comments at the expense of the newspaper’s “credibility.” It is extremely unfortunate that several candidates (and their advocates) found it necessary to resort to cheap accusations and slander when the publication’s editorial endorsements and ballots were officially revealed. Charging that there had been instances of unfairness and partiality, the sore-losers were obviously assuming airs of indifference to mask their wounded prides. One key contender declared outright that “the credibility of [one of the papers] had been reduced to nothing,” but when asked to justify this statement, the person could only point to specific sentences in the editorial which he felt were grossly unjust to him. Such an attack on a publication can only be taken as a personal insult to the integrity of the editors. Impertinent slips of the tongue only confirm doubts and strengthen the case against these candidates. One editor even received flack while the pledge of confidentiality was still in effect. Somehow the endorsement results leaked out and inflamed individuals were already calling the editor and either demanding explanations or alluding to his insanity. Once the editorial was common knowledge, some candidates felt they mistaken, and had been misquoted, misrepresented by distortions and lies. However, it should be emphasized that an editorial Is solely opinion, not fact, and should be taken as such. More important, opinions are not infallible and mistakes can be made. But it is one thing to criticize a publication for bias in supposedly “objective” news stories, as opposed ' from the editorial which the students should be informed of. Please don’t try to review the most active and successful year of recent Student Association history in half an editorial. missing opinionated editorials. The wrath of vindictive candidates should not be channelled into denouncing the objectivity of any publication as a whole because of its editorial stance. Let’s face it: Editorials are not objective. They do not reflect the judgment of anyone but the authors. If a candidate cannot bear to be criticized, then he is on the wrong end of the elections. One general question that arises is whether the newspapers should have so much influence in determining the outcome of the SA elections through editorial coverage. Some have argued that valid endorsements cannot be decided solely on the basis of one interview. In response, no one is forcing anyone to agree with a publication’s editorial opinion. In fact, accepting a candidate solely on good faith without formulating personal opinion is like singing your name to a legal contract without reading it first. Unfortunately, there isn’t enough time to thoroughly assess the qualifications of each candidate. Personal references would only increase the chances of bias. Thus, the publications are more or less restricted to an extensive interview format, during which time every political hopeful is required to answer a standard set of questions pertaining to his chosen position. While past experinece is certainly taken into account, the fairest way to compare the candidates is by evaluating their responses to the same important questions. Most of the potential voting population in SA elections is unfamiliar with the candidates and even some of the issues. On the other hand, since the publications are familiar with both, they can make informed endorsements based on facts. As a result, students would be less inclined to pick names by such thoughtless means as closing their eyes and pulling a lever. to by Amy Dunkin effectiveness of members of the S.A.

Election time is inevitably disturbed by fiery tempers and sensitive feelings. But in every election there is a winner and a loser. The same for endorsements. And a loser who beats the “post-endorsement blues” and comes out smiling only places himself higher in the estimation of his critics. Editorin-Chief Friday, 1 March 1974 . The Spectrum .

The Spectrum . Friday, 1 March 1974 34HB08KC �by Jay Boyar Arts Editor Genre films (and stories) are at best clever but inspired. Science fiction, horror yarns, war stories, "true" romances, and detective tales almost by are not what people mean when they definition talk about good literature. If a story in a particular genre is good literature, people stop thinking about — — it as a part of that genre. 1984 is, in a sense, science fiction but no one really calls it that. Strictly speaking, The Great Gatsby is a romance tale but it's so much more. Who would seriously refer to Hamlet as a ghost story? These works have gone way past their particular genres into that vast, hot, rocky sea called "art." — — A middle ground exists between the simple genre piece and the artistic achievement. It is the affectionate parody. It is not essentially a formula story because it is highly conscious of and practically giddy about its form, yet it isn't a distinct work of art because its charm and acceptance are so firmly dependent on the audience's familiarity with obscure, even trivial conventions. As The Long Goodbye begins, it seems like there is nothing especially unconventional about it. Elliot Gould, as gumshoe Philip Marlowe, seems like the ordinary run of movie detectives. Soon the characterization becomes comic, however. Gould, looking his thinnest in a long while, appears sans moustache with shortish hair. For once, he is practically sexless. He makes his way through the movie mumbling as if he'd been through the Bing Crosby (or Bill Cosby) school of cool. Every so often, private dick Marlowe strikes up a match and it blazes like some puny torch. Then he lights a slender, white cigarette which constantly hangs from his mouth as if it were a badge of office or an extension of his lip. Around his neck hangs a red "JCPenny" tie. and jarring, it is Marlowe. Gould's characterization is witty and perceptive. He catches all the hallmarks of the tracitional private eye, and parodies them not quite to the point of absurdity. You find yourself waiting in fear for that old, "essential Gould" to poke his nose through the tissue-thin smokey joke of a character, but it never happens. With this film, Gould shows more control and less self-indulgence than ever before. Cheap More conventions Current film In his latest film, The Long Goodbye, director Robert Altman continues his career of affectionate parodies. While in one sense, Altman has been making genre films for years, in another sense, he has never made one. Altman's parodies are meta-genre movies Brewster McCloud, his nuttiest and mostromantic film to date, set the trend by involving parodies of practically everything. His M*A*S*H was a war story like no other. McCabe and Mrs Miller could be called a western, and Images a horror tale. Each of his films is radically different from the genre it lampoons; none of his movies uses the traditional focus of the form. Vet, they do retain, in some measure, the conventions and settings. War stories depend on the tension between the Americans and the enemy. M*A'S*H made the enemy, and turned the true-blue G.I.'s the pernicious, drafted doctors into heroes. How could you ever take a conventional war story seriously again, after M*A "S'HI McCabe and Mrs. Miller was a Western, but its heroes smoked opium and ran a whore-house. Just try to imagine the Duke in such a flick. Even his horse would feel uneasy in those parts. Sweetheart By displacing one's feelings and reference points, Altman mashes the forms he kids forever. He is not malicious; I think he loves the kinds of stories he invalidates. He has an intimate lover's knowledge of the forms he takes to bed and tickles. It's just that after a night with him, they've pretty much had it for good. Based on the book by Raymond Chandler, The Long Goodbye is a tribute (read: farewell) to the detective story form that Edgar Allan Poe invented. Detective stories, in general, have at their core the solution of a mystery. This solution is uncovered by concentration on detail. Intricate patterns of clues are discovered by the detective. Sporting a Sherlock HJmsian magnifying glass, he spots things that everyone else overlooks, and he assembles the puzzle-pieces with similar skill. In most traditional detective stories, a rogue's the gallery of suspects is trotted before the viewer trick is to identify the killer and determine his modus operand! before the writer (through his brilliant detective-hero) reveals the how and who and why and where and when. What? — Following the standard detective-story form, there is a crime (a murder, more specifically) and those quirky Dickensian characters, who always people such stories begin to appear. In traditional detective tales, characters and incidents are introduced for one of two reasons; a) to give the viewer clues about the crime under investigation, or b) to act as red herrings thus helping to obfuscate the real crime. Midway in this film, though, you begin to realize that the murder-mystery has become just so much window-dressing. The plot becomes a function of the characters, instead of the other way around. The details of plot and character that usually serve as clues and ploys become the focus. Slowly, the whole structure of the detective story falls apart at the seams Henry Gibson, Laugh-In alumnus, surfaces as a demented quack with a firey temper and an unsettling voice. Clinical and disgustingly well-dressed, he stands around in several scenes like a statue set to explode. Another strange person As an aging alcoholic writer, Sterling Hayden is loud and blustery. His mountain-like, bearded face Marlowe a hangs out of the screen, chance to look small and cagey. Other characters are just as unusual and independent of plot. There's a pudgy, snappy fellow who drives Marlowe home from jail near the picture's beginning we never see him again. There are hokey, practically cartoonish Mexican officials, and a grim, pretentious hood. And just a whole bunch more. — Hopefully, detective story enthusiasts will not take offense at this film, because they will be the only ones capable of getting most of the "in" jokes made at the expense of the genre. This is, in fact, an unavoidable problem of the film for most people. We can not be expected to pick up references to a trivial writing tradition. We might feel ashamed for missing jokes made about some more general or scholarly topic. The movie's theme song also called The Long Goodbye, pipes up in the movie everywhere, from being on the radio to being the song played by a Mexican funeral's band. Haunting and beautiful, at times self-mocking, it sets the tone for the whole film. You can hear it in the film at the Kensington theater. .V ' * �UUAB Coffeehouse Rag Ragtime music was the rage of the United States until 1917, the year America went to war and the year the "King of Ragtime," Scott Joplin, died. Ragtime has come back to haunt much of America's music; it has contributed to jazz, honky-tonk, boogie-woogie, and stride piano. All are variations and deviants of the rag tradition. It was the homebase for America's first "serious black composer;" with Scott Joplin's ever popular "Maple Leaf Rag" as will as his less well known (or understood) ragtime opera "Treemonisha." It is also homebase for one of our country's outstanding eccentric musicians: Jelly Roll Morton.. The spirit of the ragtime era with its syncopated rhythms and pretty melodies will be captured this weekend in the UUAB Coffeehouse with the presentation of three ragtime styles. Heading the bill is guitarist Eric Schoenberg. Eric will amaze one and all with his arrangments of "Living in the Country" and virtuoso banjo performance and Eric Kaufman and Ewan Cohen will be on hand to give folks some fine examples of that style with 'The Smiler," and possiblly a ragtime song such as "Hollo My Baby." All in all the weekend should be a well-balanced, quality presentation of a style .of music that many people have become interested in again over the past three years yia piano players such as William Bofcomb and Joshua Rifkin.

Don’t over-react Certainly this is no cause for every stereo owner to become a hermit, but it is a factor that should influence how and where an audio system is installed and for whom it is demonstrated. You should start considering this factor when you first move into an apartment or when you first purchase an audio system. If at all possible, conceal your audio equipment at night. Don't install down equipment where it is plainly visible through a window. Bolting components or installing them in cabinetry is also advisable. If you would be equally happy with your system in the bedroom rather than the living room, it is a good precaution to locate it there. Not every burglary is a total surprise to the victim. There are various ways in which you might become aware that someone intends regularly asking to rip you off.

Burglars much prefer empty bourses. No burglar wants to be spotted. That s one of the few ways he can be caught. Point two: If you haven't got a "dead bolt" lock (that's the heavy-duty kind with interlocking parts) for your main door, try pressuring your landlord into providing one.

Burrowing into the wreckage, one found fragments of precious culture, old poems, heirlooms, forms emptied of Literary nostalgia involved a despair over literature's degeneration, a longing to return to literature's once-dizzying heights. Being able to connect nothing with nothing once provoked cries of anguish. This new nostalgia lives on garbage; nothing is connected with nothing by means of electrical wiring, the current is switched on and the audience shrieks with joy. In other words, this new wasteland is camp's playground, a cheap place. Sarah B.

Court and Spark has Joni's unmistakable mark on it, in the tradition part of that tradition being started six albums ago that each new album becomes her best to date. Basically the same style, the same Joni, just better. And so it is with this one. Part of the reason, of course, is its freshness. But this album is also the latest reflection of Joni Mitchell's constant expansion in all the facets of her music. Much more importantly, it's the first album in which she steps outside her own style. In fact, it seems as if Joni has been swayed, just slightly, by the outside music world. There are two cuts on this record where Joni really tries on some new clothes: "Raised on Robbery" and 'Twisted." "Raised on Robbery" is the rock and roll song getting so much air play. Here lies the danger, it's so undeniably commercial (destined for the number one spot). It's also undeniably a great song. The music is tight and swinging, with Robbie Robertson there to give it that extra punch. The lyrics are by far the raunchiest she's ever written, and the slinky, slightly drunk vocal rendition fits in perfectly. "I'm a pretty good cook. I'm sitting on my — everyone’s experience.

In fact, the record itself works as an integrated whole one song blends into the next so naturally, sometimes you don't even notice where one ends and the other begins.

The musical structure of her songs and arrangements are more subtle and complex (watch out for the arrangement on "Down to You"). The ability to blend the mood of the lyrics with the music and vocal; the expertise on piano and guitar; the incredible vocal control of all her many voices (whether it's the high, breathless lady of "Help Me" or the low, melancholy woman in "People's Parties") all of these talents are already polished to a brilliant sheen, but just slightly more dazzling. And the lyrics. Songs of love and freedom, always her special field. At this point, it would be ridiculous to say her lyrics have improved, because they've always been excellent. Poetry in the realm of — electric guitar on three or four. This is quite a change for her, and opens a wide area of speculation. Does it mean Joni is moving into the clutches of commercial music? Or is it only that she is finally beginning to branch out? As far as I can see, she has the situation under control as of now. After all this time, I am hopeful that she's strong enough and wise enough to resist the temptations of the "starmaker machine." These questions will only be answered by her next album, which probably won't be out until next year. So for now, go down to the Record Co-op and treat yourself to Court and Spark .

I The Spectrum w/i- Friday, 1 March 1974 1 THE CRQIT DKTDTOR with Jack Oakie and Paulette Goddard written, directed and scored by Charles Chaplin March 5 6 Conference Theatre - an rbc films presentation ! § z �' You will be promised an adventure in the macabre. You will be disappointed. You will not be terrified. You will not turn on any lights to ward off your fear. You will not squirm in bed that night. Perhaps you will be mildly amused. You will judge the script to be mediocre in quality. It will seem to be something that was considered creative years ago. Maybe you've heard something like it somewhere before. The material and concepts will not be fresh enough to make you scared. What you will do is to use your imagination. You may find that to be difficult. It may be hard for you to concentrate on the plot because you have been trained to see and not to hear. You normally have everything thoroughly explained to you. You are accustomed to ystery Theater "Welcome to the sound of suspense, the fear you can hear." The narrator beckons you. His voice guides you into a scene, one that involves the world of the imagination. Other recognizable sounds take hold. Doors close, floors creak, characters speak. Your mind hallucinates and conjures up the faces and the settings. You have drifted to a time when entertainment permitted the audience to participate. You are no longer forced to take a passive role, because whatever you see is there because you put it there. Colors are your choice. Sizes are for you to select. Almost every shape and detail is left up to you. You need not be in a fantasy "Wonderland" to experience such amusement because the CBS Radio Network proveds it for you, allowing you to time travel to the golden days of radio. You can experience this reincarnation of radio drama by tuning in to WBEN Radio, 930 AM, any night at 11:30 to hear the CBS Radio Mystery Theater. rector and Bergman Two Bozos are incognizant Editor's Note: This is a simple review of what happened last Friday night in the Fillmore when Proctor and Room Bergman, two ace-bozoids from the Firesign Theater, began their rampage through the city of Buffalo's. There will be a second part to this never-ending saga of word death which will come in the form of an interview with bayed, ships with tattooed sails were thrown at them, lines from albums were shouted out. An album was also given away these two gentlemen, conducted could see, and I could see pretty well cause I got in early (I'm your reporter). If I had to wait in line like all the bozos who got there way before the doors opened, I couldn't have seen what 1 did, and who saw it? And who's watching? by Jeff Benson at the stately Lawd Amherst. So keep your orbs peeled for the future adventures of Proctor and Bergman in the land of the Buffalo's. UUAB is so generous. happened before Proctor OR Bergman said a word. The audience; In the back of the room sat a parental couple, against the wall.

Leaflets cheered and hound dogs young and produce driving music took the front rows somewhere beyond Mombasa. that Foreback or wordswords, Charles Octet is a new direction in sound. The music filled cushions. Check talking movies and color TV, where you have no control of what goes on. You will find that this radio show uses cheap tricks to convey its messages. The sound effects and musical background will seem over-enunciated. But that's because you will hear it on a radio constructed from modern technology. You may not like the CBS Radio Mystery Theater. Perhaps that is because it is not the best representation of an old radio drama. Perhaps it would never have lasted even back then. But the show gives you the privilege to simulate how it might have been. Even if you do not become an avid follower, the show merits that you sample it once and keep it or something like it on the air so the radio drama remains alive and imaginations can once again be developed. —Mark Kirschenbaum like the Beatles, there are four of them crawling on the floor making records about stolen high future schools, fairs, and transcendental dectives. Proctor and Bergman took off on their own merely to get away from their dear friends they made their own hilarious album, BUT the Firesign Theater is not dead. and anyone who saw the concert our time, with many references to Firesign favorites, not-so-favorites, and boos and hisses. The boos came whenever they would make a joke that people thought they could make themselves, and in a way it's the same as applause, clapping your ears together. They did "Schools Open Drive Carefully; Schools Closed Drive Carefully" and Friday night knows that Phil and Peter are not in serious condition "Anybody on a Bike Today is Crazy or Nuts." They dressed in costumes, Phil as a box of assorted peanuts, Peter as a glass on the table. They worked hard, — — — ... Octet and Firedog flown in from Pear Harbor.

These guys are ouch out "Selflessness" dive into the by Coltrane vibrations, swim a minute, there are more cheers as the last song thirty-three laps in splits the air in two, and through crack, pulling apart the curtain, is Proctor and Bergman. A close look at these two men reveals that they are two men looking closely, for police are chasing them. They are escaped ushers from the Firesign Theater. The Firesign Theater formed in 1967 around a radio show Bergman hosted out west. Just the Boos and hisses It was a good crowd for them and a bit crowded for everyone else. They like playing New York How can a Jewish and Irish surreal pot smoking 1974 vaudeville act miss? They started — off the Buffalo, evening by devaluating town they standing ovulation.

The Bulls must defeat and tonight Broncos the tomorrow by a margin of seven goals or greater in order to be assured a trip to the CCHA playoffs in St. Louis next weekend. Should Buffalo outscore Western Michigan by six goals, the series would be deadlocked and the St. Louis bid would be decided on the basis of a coin flip. Buffalo will be without leading point producer John Stranges and top defensemen Mark Sylvester and Mike Perry for Friday night’s contest. Each was handed a one-game suspension by CCHA Jacoby Commissioner Fred following an altercation at Western Michigan in January. Two Bulls are also among the walking wounded, with the possibility of wing Mike Kelly right participating in the game listed as “questionable” and defenseman Paul Songin’s chances of seeing action were termed “probable.” The Broncos will be without their , leading goal scorer, Rob Hodge, who suffered a knee injury earlier in the season. Buffalo coach Ed Wright disclosed his plans for Friday’s contest. “We’re moving Mike Klym back [on defense],” said Wright. The Bulls’ high-scoring performance [at Western Michigan) was good,” recalled Wright about the 7-5 and 5-1 losses suffered by the Bulls. “The officiating did greatly affect the outcome of the games. 1 think that factor alone will make the difference. At Western Michigan, the officials took the play out of the hands of the players,” Wright to curl a forward around the opposing defense and pass him the puck to create a breakaway. “Their winger on the one side was hanging very high,” Wright remarked. “We have to have our men in position so our defense doesn’t have to pull away from the blue line.” Joining Stranges, Poirier and Kelly in making their final appearances at home will be seniors Tom Schratz and Bill Reid. by Barry Rubin 103-63 loss at Clark Hall Special to The Spectrum Clinching the game off the bench offensively for Buffalo was Editor’s note: Barry Rubin, Otis Horne. In somewhat of a formerly sports editor of The surprise, Horne did not start Spectrum from 1970 to 1973, against the Patriots. “Otis didn’t currently attends Hofstra Law start because Stony Brook started School. small guards and I wanter to match up there. Also, Brawley STONY BROOK, LI After thirteen straight road losses, and Dickinson deserved tostart the basketball Bulls edged Stony because they were home on Long Brook, 71-69, for their first road Island,” explained Richardson. Perhaps Horne’s benching was win this season. Ironically, the omen as the most original schedule had Buffalo a good facing the Patriots on November improved Bull was able to come 28.

Stony Domzalski sealed Stony Brook’s Brook’s big man, 6-9 senior center fate after horrendous shooting in Dave Stein, dominated the game the first half led to an early Stony in the first half en route to 31 Brook lead. game and career high points.

Last year, against Curt Blackmore, the Patriot center could manage only four points and one rebound in a Horne taps in free throw The last minutes of the contest excited the crowd of over 1900 as Buffalo sought to protect its slim lead. The key play for Buffalo came with 59 seconds to go when Horne leaped high and tapped in a missed free throw attempt by Domzalski to give the Bulls a four point lead. When Stony Brook took over on offense, Horne drew a key charging foul to regain possession for Buffalo. Domzalski then iced Buffalo’s maiden road win, converting both ends of a one-and-one foul situation with ten seconds to play. The Bulls, who stretched their series mark with Stony Brook to 5-0, finish the season Saturday at Rochester and Monday at Buffalo State. ROOMMATE WANTED STEREO SYSTEM: 25 watts rms AM/FM receiver.

They’re bright, good-looking, middle-class kids, the way they were when they .came here in September. But they’re lining up for the acid test to discover the wonders and nightmares of mind travel for themselves. At one time, LSD was the most mysterious, exotic and feared chemical in the-country, synonomous with Timothy Leary San Francisco, Merry Pranksters and the Grateful Dead. It was, for many, the drug symbol of the entire youth movement , and counterculture of the ’60’s. That time is over. The passive, complacent ’70’s have taken the novelty out of hallucinogenic drugs and replaced it with a self-submitting nonchalance, “Dreaded LSD” is taking its place among the common phenomena of the recent past. “Less people are talking about it,” commented Mike Rada, public relations coordinator for the University’s 24-hour student-run crisis center. “And more people are doing it for themselves. It’s many people are Broadened base Primarily a drug crisis intervention center for years, Sunshine House, at 106 Winspear Ave., has recently shifted its emphasis to include all sorts of emotional crises. Presently, about 35% of all calls are drug-related, Mr. Rada said. “LSD night” was one exceptionally warm Saturday evening last November, It was the last really free weekend before finals would become the inescapable reality of the future, and many students didn’t hesitate to take advantage. Contingents of trippers roamed the Governors dorms and as Alan Harrington described it, there was that Alice-in-Wonderland madhouse quality about it. It was an absurd, night-long continuum of far away, slightly afraid gazes with occasional outbursts of “cosmic”-laughter. People, strangers, came and went until dawn. “1 did it definitely for the experience, and it was different from anything I had done before,” explained a freshman who tripped for the first time last semester. “It wasn’t peer pressure, at least I don’t think so; it was something I wanted to do for myself,” he said. “Many students say to themselves, ‘I’m happy, so why can’t I be happier,’ so they drop acid,” said Mr. Rada. “People are always looking for more pleasure.” Tripping high “There’s always an upsurge right after Christmas and Easter vacations when there’s no pressure, you have time, so you SA candidates hold first public lectio by Sparky Alzamora Spectrum Suff Writer In the first public forum since the Student Association (SA) elections began, candidates running for SA office attempted to present their views Monday before a noisy and> largely restless audience in Haas Lounge. Danny Rosenfeld, an independent hopeful for the SA Presidency, began the forum by commenting on one of the many problems of the SA; small turnouts. He complained that he did not know about the forum until a few days ago, and was therefore “unprepared.” Mr. Rosenfeld said that the elections were run poorly and ultimately were “controlled by the newspapers.” The publications “always manage to come out ahead,” he criticized. Bob Burrick, Presidential candidate of the Focus party, spoke next and declared that his party’s theme was “realism.” He said that he was “surprised at The Spectrum ,” which failed to endorse him, and called the newspaper’s criticisms of his candidacy an “untruth,” Intramural increase Mr. Burrick said his party endorsed “strong undergraduate academic organizations,” labelling previous student committees “rubber stamps.” The Speakers that the Focus the Colleges was the only and published stand” on that issue of the election campaign. In other issues, Mr. Burrick announced a four-point plan for athletics, strongly advocating an increase in the athletic budget which would accommodate intramurals and a commitment to women’s sports. Mr. Burrick theA gave the floor to Sal Napoli, the Focus candidate for Treasurer, who bitterly criticized The Spectrum and its endorsement procedures. Mr. Napoli declared that the “accusations made against me are dead wrong.” Discussing the situation further, he claimed that no candidate running against him “has the Bureau proposal “printed chairman said on experience” he has obtained in his two years as treasurer of Schussmeisters Ski Club. use it,” explained Mr. Rada. “Last week the number of calls [related to bad trips] was phenomenal.” Contrary to recent speculation from professionals and non-professionals that the use of hallucinogens is decreasing on a national scale, their use at this both —continued on page 2— rum Mr. Napoli complained that while Mike the Nora party’s can didate'for Treasurer, received The Spectrum's endorsement, he was still cited for a lack of personal diplomacy. “Would it take longer for me to leam a few facts as to who’s who on top,” Mr. Napoli asked, “or for my Phillips, opponent to change his personality?” The Revolutionary Communist Youth’s (RCY) candidate for President, Ellen Haskin, was the next speaker. “A University is not an ivory tower and not isolated from society,” Ms. Haskin declared, “but fundamental reforms are impossible.” In order to sublimate the current “bourgeois social order,” she said that it was imperative to “attack through a Socialist revolution.” Ms. Haskin then called for no budget cuts and open admissions for all students plus a stipend. Besides wanting to abolish the Administration, Ms. Haskin favored the “unionization of teachers and campus workers.” ‘It’s their money’ Frank Jackalone, candidate for SA President on the Nova ticket, then discussed “the role of SA on campus.” Student Association “has not really made an attempt to reach the students,” he said. Mr. Jackalone declared that his party’s goal was to “create a new student voice on campus.” Outlining several of Nova’s primary proposals, Mr. Jackalone said that he would insure the student voice was listened to by the Administration. He said he would bring his stands to Dr. Ketter “in order to insure student rights.” Commenting on mandatory student fees, Mr. Jackalone strongly urged students “to demand to know how the money is being spent.” „ Mr. Jackalone, presently an Assemblyman and SA executive committee member, promised more recreational activities for the Amherst Campus because “more people will be assimilating into this area” by next year. Mr. Jackalone repeatedly emphasized the theme of his campaign: “SA has to represent what the students want.” Speaking quite forcefully was Scott Salimando, the Nova party’s vice presidential candidate. Mr. Salimando said his talk was to “get the Student Assembly to represent you once again. I want to set up open lines of communication and cooperation” between the Assembly and the students, he said. Mr. Salimando indicated he would use the public information facilities more intensively to inform students. The present Student Assembly “caters to an elite group of people” who are the — continued on page 2— �LSD. :r —contlm page r T. ' •' * University does not appear to be markedly declined. LSD in all forms and qualities is readily available on campus. If the laws of supply and demand operate here, they do not indicate a decrease in demand. However, there are fewer calls from bad trippers now than two years ago, Sunshine House reports. Acid, however, is not threatening alcohol and marijuana in popularity. Its use is still confined to a minority of students. Beer, on the other hand, is more frequently imbibed than ice water, while many students favor Pernod, Tequila and Southern Comfort among the harder drinks. Wine, both cheap and expensive, is also a staple for many. Marijuana is not only a fact of life but, for many, a way of life. Its sweet scent mingles with dormitory air all hours of the day. Many first-time trippers arc freshman who include acid among the new experiences they want to have at school. Several have discovered that dropping LSD is often not without consequences. For some, it is a disaster. One freshman living at Amherst was arrested last month for allegedly selling l6 hits of LSD to a narcotics officer in the Record Runner at University Plaza on two different occasions. The arrest was made at Governors dorms by the Amherst police. Stiff penalties Possession of 25 milligrams or sale of 5 milligrams .of LSD is a class A-II Felony, carrying a maximum prison term of life and a minimum of 6 to 8-1/3 years in jail. Any person convicted of a class A-II felony must serve at least 6 years in prison. The Amherst student, now out on bail, faces up to 14 years imprisonment. Aside from legal consequences, there is always the possibility of a bad trip. People bumming out continually require assistance extending beyond the reassurances of be sent to help. “Tripping is such an exact thing,” he maintained, “that one wrong word can mess up a tripper. Most of the problems with people tripping is what other well-meaning people do to them. A friend means nothing to a person who is tripping.” '* • >. * v • *■. Editor’s note: Sunshine House offers the following advice on what to do when someone is having a bad acid trip. Since it is hard for even friends to calm down someone having a bad trip, they suggest first calling the trained personnel at Sunshine House (831-4046}.- Preventive medicine He continued: “It is most important to provide a non-threatening environment and to take away anything that might scare them. There are little things to watch out for, little things that can mess up a trip. People bum out on red sweaters, or maybe a dog lying in the comer of the room that gets up and starts to bark.’ “There is a doctor on call 24 hours a day, and we know people at the hospitals and the ambulance drivers if they are necessary. It’s just a hell of a lot better if there’s someone there who knows what he’s doing,” he added. Services from Sunshine House are free, strictly confidential, and in no case are the police ever contacted, Mr. Rada 1 Try to get the tripper as physically comfortable as possible. If something in the environment is upsetting him, get it removed. It’s very good if a trusted friend can 2 stay with the tripper. He might even hold him and assure him. 3 The tripper should be reassured that he has not lost his mind, and that the bad trip will pass. Statements such as “It’s only a bad trip; don’t worry; it’s going to pass,” or “it’s only the drug you took and it will end soon” are helpful. 4 People on bad trips frequently feel that they are in some sense out of control. One should emphasize that the tripper has more control than he - — - emphasized. Scientific study of LSD fluctuates according to media coverage, rather than any genuine interest in resolving unanswered questions. The spate of LSD research in the late 1960’s was inconclusive, and for the most part ended when media “experts” announced the death of the LSD Age. Several scientists gave up projects in disgust, citing harrassment and an oppressive social climate. Some scientists, however, have recently given LSD to dying patients, and reported that they became calm, at peace with the universe, and prepared to meet their deaths. Election forum... Apathy noted The last SA Presidential candidate to speak was independent Mike Koffler. Mr. s y ‘ * - •individuals emotionally disturbed, in crisis situations, insecure environments, or unsupervised settings.” “Psychotic episodes and suicidal behavior, while rare, have occurred in'these settings. In controlled, supervised situations, they do not occur,” the report asserted. “Thus, the concerns which led to the discontinuation of research are unsubstantiated,” it continued, “and the type of controlled research discussed above could be resumed without undue danger to followed the formal presentation of views was chaotic in the respect that no one really knew to whom the specific questions were directed. Most of the candidates expressed his opinions rather briefly, citing apathy as the cause of current SA problems. He said that he had “run into a wall” because of the publications’ disinterest in his candidacy. “I’m a new candidate and I want change,” he declared. Koffler merely restated their party platform, although a small debate occurred between the two Presidential candidates of Focus and Nova. Mr. Burrick Katz, an independent candidate for Student Rights coordinator, praised the “new programs” of the current SA administration, citing the investigations of the Bookstore and Food Service in Larry ‘ • \s *» 5 In some cases, the tripper will improve following a discussion about the bad trip. This discussion might recognize that some parts of the trip are frightening, while others might be positive. What the bad tripper needs most is reassurance that he is not crazy and that the bad trip will pass. - Only in extreme emergencies should consider hospitalizing the bad tripper during his bad trip. It is likely that anyone taken to a hospital to be routinely searched; make sure the bad tripper leaves his drugs at home. 6 - one subjects.” Tim Leary is a fugitive these days; people are reading books by and about Ken Kesey, and San Francisco is just another city. The Dead still make good music, but somehow it just isn’t the same. LSD, under-researched and little understood, remains. Each year a few more bright, good-look'ing middle-class children will tfy it! But tough' laws’ and' b'ad tripk will keep its use at moderate levels, and save it from a more ubiquitous, if not more mundane, popularity. Mr. Jackalone said that he regretted that Nova was not ‘"calling for open membership,” but that “channeling people into direct areas” was a more effective means of achieving student representation. Mr. Jackalone’s plan to revamp the Student Assembly would abolish 40 signature petitioners as members, but recruit students to serve on strengthened committees by specific area of interest. Such a revamped Assembly would solicit “more support” by the average students, Mr. Jackalone argued.

William Farah, president of the Farah Manufacturing Company, made the announcement at a news conference in the New York Hilton with Murray H. Finley, president of the ACWA union and Jacob Sheinkman, the secretary-treasurer. The ACWA now represents 67% of the Farah workers, and the Farah Company has agreed to recognize the union as the workers’ bargaining agent. When asked why he agreed to settle with the union, Mr. Farah replied; “It was the legal thing to do.” . * imagines. He may be able to turn his attention away from things that are frightening him and concentrate on something more pleasant. For example, the tripper may improve by your helping him turn his attention to a discussion of peaceful topics unrelated to the trip. Music, especially if some is playing in the background, is a good choice, as are a number of other subjects. VOTE!!! The question-and-answer period which m M ■ that Nova’s contended proposal to restructure the Student Assembly was unrealistic since the Assembly “should be open to every student.” He explained: “Our plan is to strengthen academic clubs and use leverage to get them in the Assembly.” Mr. Burrick particular. He complained that too many students were ignorant of the Student-Wide Judiciary as a logical channel in which to file grievances. He then charged The Spectrum's claim that he “suffered from a lack of direction” was totally untrue.

Of the 25 new contraceptive methods being tested presently by the World Population Council, only five are “male” methods, according* to Dr. Scherra of the Population Council’s Biomedical Division. Those methods that have been tested on male subjects have met with little success ? 'f irX‘ "iVV f j '.V so far. The development of effective V7»** contraceptive methods for men is limited by inadequate scientific knowledge about the workings of the male reproductive system, a situation which some people believe is inexcusable in today’s highly technological society.

However, recent experiments have indicated that when used in combination, testosterone and some progestogens may effectively inhibit sperm production without producing the undesirable side-effects caused by either alone. While the progestogens may be administered either orally or by injection, testosterone is metabolized by the liver when taken orally and therefore must be injected or implanted under the skin on the chest. “This important finding suggests that it may be possible to derive a male contraceptive method based on hormonal - y. : : • • <•'.*/ '• ‘More alternatives’ At an earlier time, the women’s movement demanded access to birth control devices as part of a woman’s right to decide when to have children.

Our Bodies, Ourselves, widely accepted as the manual of the women’s movement, states: “Women suspect that male research scientists would be unwilling to offer man a contraceptive that exposed them to as many side effects and potential risks as the pill or even the IUD does to women.” “The major research being done is still with female contraception,” said Jean Hutchinson of Buffalo Planned Parenthood’s education department. However, people are more prepared to accept male contraceptives now than they used to be, she believes. Explaining that the present choice of contraceptive methods is limited, Ms. Hutchinson asserted: “A couple should have more alternatives.” Surgical methods “The simple fact is that the number of targets is more limited in males than females,” writes Sheldon J. Segal, referring to contraceptive attacks on_ the reproductive system. Mr. Segal, vice-president of World Population Council and Director of its Biomedical Division, also noted in an article in Family Planning Perspectives that until recently, the most widely used birth control methods were withdrawal and “male” methods condoms. ... — t* ‘Ditcwt - • • it ; eOOl*N5KV the vas, the duct which leads sperm into the seminal fluid; and 4) the chemical constitution of the seminal fluid. Some current research is focusing on how spermatozoa move through the reproductive tracts and what constitutes the sperm’s fertilizing capacity, phenomena which are not completely understood now. There have been many failures in the attempt to produce a safe male contraceptive. Experiments were performed with “volunteers among penitentiary prisoners” (according to Family Planning Perspectives, July, 1972) in which subjects injested chemicals which successfully suppressed their sperm count. The effects even proved reversible, but the injested chemical reinforced the effects of consumed alcohol severe dizziness, vomiting, and loss of balance. Also, genetically-damaged spermatozoa were later found in some subjects. — Hormonal suppression The use of progestogens and testosterone, synthetic substances which produce the same bodily effects as natural hormones, has been tested for suppressing sperm production. Used separately, both produce serious side-effects, including loss of sex drive, increase in the weight of the “Phut, in America “Stf 0*mfuden.

Frick, urologist-researcher at the- University of Innsbruck, Austria. Dr. Frick is part of the Population Council’s International Committee for Contraceptive Research, a group of six specially-skilled physician-scientists from different countries, all men, who are undertaking the specific task of developing “male” contraceptives. Clinical studies Some long-term studies with the testosterone/progestogen combination are being done on monkeys and rats in New York State. Although the findings seem to be an important breakthrough, this method remains in the early experimental stage, having been tested on only 51 human subjects and sometimes producing inconsistent results. While the vasectomy has recently become more widely used as a birth control method, its reversibility cannot be guaranteed. In Textbook of Contraceptive Practice, John Peel and Malcolm Potts write; “The incidence of reversibility depends on the experience of the surgeon, the technique used, and most important, the form of the original operation.” Noting that young men that it is want to risk vasectomy, Ms. Hutchinson of Planned Parenthood predicted: “If we can come up with a sound, reversible vasectomy, 1*11 think well do hot see a change.” Reversible vasectomy? Dr. Scherra of die Population Council told of new attempts to create a reversible “vasocclusion,” in which the vas is pinched or plugged, instead of being cut as in a Other attempted surgical approaches have proven either contraceptively ineffective or not adequately reversible, he said. Heat has been suggested as a method of reducing the sperm count. The scrotum, which acts as an air-conditioner for the manufacture of sperm, has a temperature of 6 degrees lower than body temperature. When this temperature is raised, the mortality rate of the sperm increases and sperm are not ideally produced. Other suggestions which have not been clinically tested arc X-ray, diathermy, ultrasonic sound, and laser beams. Asked whether, any research into male contraception is occuring now at this University, Robert Fitzpatrick, vice-president for Research here, said he knows of none “specifically identified as such,” although there is some biochemical research that may be related. A spokesman for Meyer Memorial Hospital said there is presently no research being done in urology there due to lack of funds. vasectomy. Tight funding “Funding is very, very tight” for contraceptive research, said Dr. Scherra of the Population Council. There are four large “public sector” groups who use public monies to support public contraceptive programs: 1)TJ.S. Agency of International Development (AID); 2) National Institute of Health (NIH), also a U.S. agency; 3) World Health Organization (WHO); and 4) International Committee for Contraceptive Research (ICCR), Dr. Scherra explained. The newly-proposed Federal budget for 1975 allows no increases for AID or NIH, according to Mr. Scherra. WHO and ICCR are funded partly by grants from the Rockefeller Foundation and Ford Foundation, he explained. Medical revolution “Basic research in biology and allied medical fields has just gone through a revolution and, to use the knowledge to develop new and better contraceptive methods, a great deal of additional funding will be needed,” said Dr. Scherra. However, he added: “It doesn’t look as if anyone is going to provide it.” The $20-25 million spent directly on new contraceptive developments by the Population Council is not enough to develop neW methods, Dr. Scherra claimed. If the needed funds were provided, “ideal methods could probably be developed in 10 to 15 years,” he said. Dr. Scherra concluded: “If society wants ideal methods of contraception, the manpower and knowledge are there. But society specifically, the government has to put the financial resources in to get the job done.” — - JOHN PRINE UUAB PRESENTS and special guest stars Happy and Artie Traum Saturday March 9 at 8:30 pan , 1 07-I1S4 every naa's book store Emattoni Mu .

Working with Community Action Corps (CAC), these women hope to get help from Erie Medical, Planned Parenthood, and the Buffalo Women Center. The self-help clinic is an idea founded on preventive medical care. The self-help clinic offers women the opportunity to learn what is normal and what is not for their own particular bodies, how the abnormalities should be treated, and where they can receive the appropriate treatment. Self-help is nott an alternative to professional medical care, but an educational measure that can emancipate women from a dependency on the medical profession and its high cost by teaching her to recognize the medical questions: legally, how far can the unlicensed paramedic or social worker go without impinging on licensed territory? Medically, many problems arise with menstrual extractions. The researchers from F.W.H.C. are concerning themselves with how an extraction may affect hormonal balance, and the chances that a woman may puncture her uterus. There have been cases where extractions were performed with a syringe and failed to terminate the pregnancy. These are only a few of the questions that must be resolved before setting up a self-help clinic in Buffalo. The Women’s Free Health Clinic of Portland, Oregon counsels patients on birth control, pregnancy, and abortion, but refers them to organizations such as Planned Parenthood or other professional help, aiming for better medical treatment. These symptoms that require medical services are currently offered at attention. this university. However, the University lacks the adequate preventive facilities.

Number one job: impeachment forced on us.” by Michael O’Neill In an ironic twist of events, Mr. Clark is now calling National Editor for the removal of the President as a prerequisite to the Former Attorney General Ramsey Clark, speaking at a fund-raising party for the Niagara Frontier Civil Liberties Union, repeated his call for thejemoval of President Nixon and strongly warned of the dangers posed to the nation by the “Law-and-Order Philosophy” espoused by the Nixon administration. Long renowned for his outspoken support of the expression and preservation of individual freedoms, Mr. depicted the present scandals in Washington as “an Qark outgrowth of our moral code.” ‘The People of this country allowed the present administration to usurp power and abuse it,” he said. ‘They wanted a strong government but never considered the ill effects of such a move. It didn’t sneak up on us, we brought it about.” “Impeachment should be a number one priority,” Mr. Clark said. ‘The country must now make an effort to rid itself of the excesses of the Nixon Administration.” Denied flatly As a former Attorney-General serving under President Lyndon Johnson, Mr. Clark was asked to comment on the charges made by Mr. Nixon and his Republican supporters that the campaign violations of 1972 were not the first such excesses to occur.' Mr. Nixon has stated many times that Democrats committed similar transgressions during the three previous elections. Mr. Clark’s response was a flat denial: “No violations of this magnitude occurred during the Democratic campaign in 1968.” He added: “Mr. Nixon keeps referring to past violations, but never produces any specific evidence, never names any particular instances. If he has the evidence, then why didn’t he bring it to the Justice Department and have the violators prosecuted? Either he is not telling the truth, or he is guilty of withholding evidence,” Mr. Clark charged. A young man in the audience recollected the comments made by Richard Nixon during the 1968 campaign: “If I am elected, one of the first men to be removed will be Ramsey Clark. Law and order cannot be restored to this country with a man like him in the Justice Department.” Looking back, Mr. Clark said: “Law and otrder was a code word for repression; ahd what’s 'worse, knew it. We allowed autocratic government to be w- - restoration of justice in this country. Mr. Clark was in town for a preliminary hearing on Monday to set the dates for trials of Attica inmates indicted for their role in the 1971 prison uprising. Much of his time will be spent in the Buffalo area during the upcoming months, where he will serve as a member of the defense council. His announced intention to seek the 1974 Democratic nomination for Senator from New York and run against Jacob Javits in November will eventually become his primary concern. The strategy Mr. Clark outlined for his election drive has stirred considerable controversy. Campaign contributions will be restricted to $100 maximum, and it is expected that all contributions will average about $10. “If successful, this will revolutionize democratic principles and bring more people into the election process than ever before,” Mr. Clark said. “Democracy means more than one man, one vote. It means a guarantee that the interest of every person will be considered by their representative, not just those who contributed large sums of money and support to the campaign.” Consumate politician Mr. Clark conceded that challenging Jacob Javits, a 24-year Republican incumbent and well-known Senate liberal, will not be an easy chore. “Mr. Javits has the reputation of being a liberal, yet no one can ever be sure how he is going to vote on a specific issue. He does not take clear stands. Mr. Javits is a consummate politician, rather than an effective representative.” Mr. Clark was quick to make distinction between his approach to the campaign and that of Mr. Javits. “It will not be a choice between two vague liberals. I do offer an alternative.” Mr. Clark’s address to the Civil Liberties Union concluded with a brief talk on the place of liberty in a free society. Warning against the danger of repression from governmental authority, he. called for more active public participation in the process of government, claiming that the people can accomplish anything if they work hard enough at it. “Public opinion may be our last hope, it saved the lives of eight unknown Jews condemned to die in Ramsey Clark Leningrad, it affected the numerous recent political trials in this country, and it brought about the investigation into the Watergate scandals,” Mr. Clark concluded. “Without the freedom to express dissent, we would be at the mercy of autocracy and repression.” - Announcing the OPENING OF THE POSITION AVAILABLE VAJRAYANA Sub Board / is boking for a director to be Restaurant serving involved with the Amherst Campus.

Page five �Outside' poking In Imagination, leadership and a real sensitivity to student concerns will enable Frank Jackalone to effectively lead student government. A theme has emerged in Mr. Jackalone's campaign for SA President: involving the "average" student in student government. To accomplish this he will increase public information, hold "open" SA meetings, appoint non-SA students to Sub-Board, and restructure the farcical Student Assembly to make it representative. Instead of an Assembly of students who get 40 signatures on a petition and "represent themselves," Mr. Jackalone would strengthen Assembly committees so they could produce we 11-researched legislation. These committees (Student Rights, Academic Affairs, etc.) would be open to all students, and hopefully "chip away" at the apathy on campus by recruiting students with a specific area of interest. Equally important, Mr. Jackalone will aggressively deal with the Administration "as a student, not as a fellow administrator." Extremely knowledgable on academics, Mr. to Jackalone will persuasively represent student concerns faculty to save the fighting in Administration and progressive Colleges and the 4-course load, widening use of a Pass/No Credit grading option, and increasing student input into academic decisions. SA should take strong stands on issues, Mr. Jackalone believes, and use the press, rallies and boycotts if necessary to make the student voice heard. He is a straightforward, honest individual who has displayed leadership in the SA executive committee and Assembly all year. From Amherst Campus activities to intramural sports, his budget priorities are sound. Besides pledging $25,000 to WNYPIRG, he would have altered budgets to fund WNYPIRG after last fall's referendum because "it's the students' money, they should decide how it's spent." That summarizes the man's philosophy: a strong and representative SA, responsive to the needs of students. By contrast. Bob Burrick has also pledged $25,000 to WNYPIRG but was totally unfamiliar with its funding problems this year. This is typical of Mr. Burrick's candidacy: he has good ideas and means well, but has a shallow grasp of important issues which would render him an ineffective President. He has only vague ideas of how he would support the Colleges and 4-course load, and no real conception of dealing with the Faculty-Senate and Administration. Like Jon Dandes, Mr. Burrick is satisfied with SA's "good relationship" with President Ketter; under him, the student voice would become a whisper. Mr. Burrick has displayed no leadership abilities all year and is frequently indecisive. His plan for the Student Assembly, although sound, falls short of Mr. Jackalone's restructuring and threatens to perpetuate an impotent Assembly. Mr. Burrick is running on a platform of flashy proposals which are mostly cosmetic and lack substance. He has compromised himself by discussing post-election jobs and bargaining for political support. In short, although he has become quite well known as an effective Speakers Bureau chairman, Mr. Burrick's lack of knowledge and leadership would make him a well-meaning but mediocre President. Mr. Jackalone, however, has the knowledge and imagination to turn student government around, to open it up to more students. He is superbly qualified to be an activist and effective SA President. The choice is clear. A forceful personality and new reforms for the Student Assembly will make Scott Salimando an effective Vice-President. Rich Hochman 's imaginative approach will make him an excellent Sub-Board Vice-President. Although far from an ideal candidate, Mike Phillips' working knowledge of SA's financial intricacies makes him the best-qualified candidate for Treasurer. Mark Humm and Pam Benson are both knowledgable and qualified for Academic Affairs, but we believe Mr; Humm's persuasiveness would enable him to be more effective. Legal Aid Clinic veteran Hilary Lowell deserves election as Student Rights coordinator. WNYPIRG alumnus Michele Smith has exciting ideas to expand the scope of National Affairs into community and education issues. North Campus coordinator Howie Schapiro is well-suited for Student Affairs ; Sylvia Goldschmidt will bring an extensive knowledge of the clubs to Student Activities. Elhanan Keinan's vibrant personality would be invaluable at International Affairs, although Yusuf Baxamusa is also competent. — — Page six The Spectrum Wednesday, 27 February 1974 . . Washington. by Clan Coined continuedfrom last week. Bond turned and walked to where the man in the powdered wig sat picking a splinter from his hoagie with cheese. He was a tall, erect man, still at least 6’2” even at his obviously advanced age. A closer look revealed that he was not wearing a wig at all; flecks of brown were scattered through his natural white hair. He had a prominent nose, high forehead, deep-set blue eyes, pointed chin, a mole under an ear, a strong jaw and severely pock-marked, hollow cheeks. Bond took an American dollar bill from his pocket and noted the resemblance. “Are you George Washington, first President of the United States, Father of your country, first in war, first in peace and first in the hearts of your countrymen?” Bond demanded. “I cannot tell a lie; yes, I am,” replied Washington. “Why don’t you sit down?” “Thank you,” Bond said, drawing up a chair. “Now suppose you tell me who you are and what this is all about,” Washington said. Bond replied almost automatically: “My name’s Bond, James Bond.” “Really?" asked Washington, his blue eyes lighting up. “I’ve seen all your movies. May I please have your autograph?” Bond ignored the absurdity of an autograph request from a figure who had been nearly defied by history and scrawled his name on a sheet of note paper: “To George with best wishes, James Bond, 007.” Looking embarrassed, Washington took his reading glasses from his vest pocket, read the note, broke into a close-lipped smile and quickly put the note and the. glasses back into his vest .,. pocket. “Mr. President,” Bond said “George.” “George, I’ve been requested by your government to find you and persuade you to undertake a mission vital to your nation’s security,” Bond said. “The Presidency, the very institution that you originally and ably filled, is in trouble.” “Oh come now, Mr. Bond,” Washington replied “James.’ “James, it’s not the Presidency that’s in trouble. It’s the President,” Washington said “But there’s a crisis of confidence, George. Nobody believes Nixon anymore,” Bond said. “Does anyone believe Edward Heath?” Washington asked. “That’s beside the point,” said Bond with obvious irritation. “Your country needs you. The President wants you to lead his revived Operation Candor.” “First,” said Washington with deliberation, “it is not the country that needs me, it is Nixon. It’s just that confusion between Nixon and America that is responsible for his problems. Besides, I’m out of politics now. Second, why does he want me?” “Because you’re the only person the American people Avould trust enough,” Bond answered. “What about Walter Cronkite?” asked “He didn’t want the job,” Bond replied. Just then, the door to the Rat opened and a bruised, battered and bloody Ron Zeigler walked in. Washington turned, saw him, turned back to Bond and asked: “The redhead?” Bond nodded and smiled. Zeigler came to the table. “Ron," said Bond, “I’d like you to meet the Father of your country.” Gee, Mr. Washington, sir, “Uh-er-ah-wcll it’s an honor and a privilege, a special historic occasion when one can meet here, in this very room, the first President of the Ouch!” Bond’s well-aimed kick proved effective. “The pleasure is mine sir,” said Washington gallantly. Bond saw something flash in Washington’s eyes as he went on. “How did you get hurt, Mr. Zeigler?” “Well-uh-ahem I’m not at liberty to say at this time, however.” “The redhead,” Washington said with a sly grin and a friendly elbow to the ribs that knocked most of the wind out of Zeigler. “Yes, Mr. President,” said Ron, turning redder by the second. Washington put on his best avuncular manner, stretched a long arm around Ron’s shoulders, chuckled and said; “If you want to get The rest he any around here, go to. . whispered into Ron’s ear. “Are you sure, Mr. President?” Ron asked. “Would I lie?” Washington answered with a - - — wink “Thanks, Mr. President,” Ron gushed as he hobbled out the door. Washington waited until he had gone and laughed until tears ran down his cheeks. “What is it, George?” Bond asked. Gasping for breath, Washington answered: “1 just sent him to the karate instructor who turned that redhead on to women’s liberation.” Bond laughed hysterically. When he caught his breath, he said: “George, I’m not going to press you any more. You have too much class for that crowd in Washington. I’ll tell my superiors I . i . .» couldn’t find you.” “Good,” said Washington, “Why. doulf we go, to my room and get stoned?” “What?” asked the startled Bond “Surely you know about getting stoned.

Drugs, Sexual attitudes, war, the whole bit. You’ve probably noticed that you’re out of date as a hero,” Washington said. “Yes, I have,” Bond answered. “It’s about time I came to understand the times better.” They walked in silence for a few minutes, “James,” Washington said. “Yes, George?” “When do we get laid?” Bond dropped his knit tie and Walther PPK pistol into a trash can and thought to himself: “Some things never change.” The Spectrum Vol. 24, No. 59 Wednesday, 27 February 1974 Editor-In-Chief Howie Kurtz — Managing Editor Jams Cromer Business Manager Dave Simon Advertising Manager Gerry McKeen Production Supervisor - Joel Altsman - - - Arts Asst.

Scapegoating Preferential To the Editor. Barry Kaplan’s article on BSU President, Larry was totally uninformed, thoroughly misleading and racist in the extreme. In the first place, it was members and friends of Progressive Labor Party who initiated the action in the S.A. to reimburse Mr. Williams for his defense not the BSU as Kaplan states. PLP did this costs because WHAT HAPPENED TO LARRY Williams, - WILLIAMS WILL HAPPEN bear the cost of this harassment. The motion is to get the S.A. to organize whatever action is necessary, like a student strike, to get Ketter and his gang to cough up what it cost Larry to get off the hook. We have got to put Ketter and his cops on the defensive with an action like this. Otherwise the administration has a free hand to harass us ALL, and it has already declared open season on blacks and activists. The article mentions cutbacks in various student services at U/B, and in good old racist fashion suggests that we should jump on the backs of black students as the cause of ail our troubles. Kaplan would have us believe that it is blacks and not Ketter who is responsible for our financial plight. The LAST way we are going to win back the monies that Ketter & Co. have trimmed away is by scapegoating Larry Williams or the BSU. - TO MORE AND MORE STUDENTS, BLACK AND WHITE, as we organize to fight the cutbacks being handed down by Ketter Co. Larry’s case is by no means special: it is typical of the way the administration has consistantly framed students who get in its way here op campus.

I was totally amazed at the ignorance displayed by Barry Kaplan in his column in Wednesday’s (2/22) The Spectrum. Mr. Kaplan’s looking glass must have been clouded with his own fingerprints when hw said the Assembly failed to decide on allocating &1000 to pay Larry Williams’ Court fees. If Mr. Kaplan had even attempted to research his story, he would have found that the Assembly has never even considered such an allocation. BSU representatives have approached the Assembly with such a proposal on two separate occasions. In each instance, I referred the proposal to the Finance Committee without discussion. The proposal has yet to be presented to the Finance Committee by these representatives. Therefore it will not even be presented to the Assembly on the 26th, barring a miracle. I did ask that the possibility that an allocation of this nature would be in violation of the mandatory fee guidelines be researched. That aspect of the proposal is still being researched, and a ruling will be forthcoming on the 26th. Yet discussion of the proposal by the Assembly has to this day been nonexistant. In the future I hope your writers like Mr. Kaplan will be more careful about researching the statemtnts they make in their “commentaries”. Irresponsible journalism is often easy and a lot of fun. Reporting the truth isn’t, it’s only fair. treatment To the Editor. Mr. Barry Kaplan is to be heartily congratulated for having the guts to criticize the BSU and the Student Assembly for even considering payment of Mr. Williams’ legal fees by the SA. He will be labeled a racist for his article, and so will I for my praise of it. The SA in general and the Dandes administration in particular has been giving the BSU treatment that can only be described as preferential all year. Messrs. Dandes and Unker approved a BSU expenditure of over $20,000 before the BSU budget was approved by the Student Assembly or even the Executive Committee. The funds were approved for the BSU’s homecoming weekend (Nov 16-19). The Executive Committee approved the expenditure on 3 Dec. (3 weeks later), but, not by the required 3/4 majority. The Student Assembly did not start to consider the BSU budget until December 11, mearly a month after the expenditure. Messrs. Dandes and linker are currently being sued in the Student Judiciary on this matter. After all this, it would hardly be surprising if the $1000 for Mr. William’s defense is pushed through the Assembly, however discriminatory it is. These are things that a voting student must know about in his search for the honest politician in the coming elections. Steven Kolodny It Would Be ~We Don't Want Kalionin" Too (loni|diealed” David Saleh SA Executive Vice-president Vote! To the Editor 1 am concerned about this year Student Association elections, as 1 was last year. 1 believe that I am a member of a dying breed of people on this campus. Last year only 11% of the eligible undergraduates bothered to come out and vote in the election. This election’s campaign, just like last year’s, seems to have started out at full blast, but I am hesitant to say that the students’ apathy will probably increase to the same level as it did last year and in every other year’s election. This year’s election is a little different from last year, as noticed by the number of complaints that the Elections Credentials Committee has received on the first day of campaigning alone. At least when this campaign is over, no one person will have to go to any great effort to throw out all of the paper used for this campaign, and I think that this shows the people’s concern for & recycling all of the paper used, but unfortunately, they have not picked those garbage pails that are marked FOR PAPER ONLY, TO BE RECYCLED, but its the idea that counts. The other idea that also counts is the idea of each and every student who has ever complained about the student government to get out and do something about it, namely GET OUT AND VOTE. The results of an election only represent the opinion of those people who have taken the time (two minutes) to vite. So, do not complain next year about the Student Association unless you have gone out and voted and shown your concern for the way things are run here on campus, and the same thing goes for every election in your town, state and in this country.

The conference, composed of representatives from Student Governments and organizations throughout the nation, spent the weekend preparing the delegates for an all-out lobbying effort to be conducted mid-week. The primary concerns of the organization are those issues that specifically effect students. The continuance and expansion of federal educational assistance programs is one of their concerns. The group will also attempt to represent the interest of the country’s 10 million students on issues such as absentee voting restrictions which discriminate against youth who attend school away from home, in addition to more national topics such as unconditional amnesty for war resistors and the impeachment of President Nixon. The lobby hopes to have as many students as possible notify their representatives of how they feel on the issues directly involving them. - SPECIAL SURBEX-T Hi-Potency Vit.

If a violation is not corrected the Air Pollution Control Department initiates a hearing in order to have a legal showdown with the offender. Sampling the air The pollution measurement laboratories at West Eagle Street are the center for the four monitoring stations throughout Erie County.

Members of both the United Gasoline Retailers of Western New York and the Empire State Gasoline Dealers Association vocally denounced Gov. Malcolm Wilson’s directive restricting the sale of gasoline to odd or even days of the month according to the last digit of the consumer’s license plate. They termed the measure “unnecessary” in the Buffalo area, where, unlike elsewhere in the state, the effects of the gas shortage have not really been felt. “We have enough restrictions already,” said Harry Hobson of the Empire State Gasoline Dealers. “We will not honor the plan. It’s bad enough to face customers with today’s prices, and now we’ll have to say they can’t get gas because they have the wrong retailers are waiting to meet with representatives of Gov. Wilson to determine if the Western New York area can be excluded from the rationing system.

Foul trouble limited his effectiveness in the second half, and the Tigers slowly opened up a large lead. by Paige Miller Spectrum Staff Writer Bryant and Stratton is the nation’s number one ranked business school basketball team, with a 24-4 record. So when the Tigers played the junior varsity basketball Bulls Saturday afternoon at Clark Hall, the result, a 81-69 decision for the Tigers, came as no surprise. The Baby Bulls had earlier lost to Bryant and Stratton, 104-88 in a similar game. Buffalo now has dropped its last three contests and has a 4-13 record. BuU coach John Hill, in an effort to change his team’s losing ways, inserted Scott Kovel into the starting Jackson paces Tigers Bryant and Stratton was led by guard Joe Jackson, who seemed to be seeking revenge against the Baby Bulls. Jackson, “the quickest man on the court,” according to Hill, socred 28 points, following up a 36 point performance in the team’s first meeting. Both figures were well above his 22 point average. Jackson’s quickness was evident both offensively and defensively. He made a shambles of the Bulls full court press, as he quickly moved around anyone who tried to stop him. This led to many easy shots for Jackson, who shot 12-for-24. Defensively his 11 steals totaled six more than the entire Buffalo squad had. A major factor in the game was Bryant and Stratton’s ability to play together. ‘They’ve played so many more games than us,” said Hill after the team’s first meeting. ‘They have to play together better than we do.” This was evident in the final turnover statistics. Buffalo committed 28 turnovers, one less than in their first meeting, while the Tigers committed just 12 turnovers. Tomorrow night, the Baby Bulls conclude their home schedule against Niagara Community College. They journey to Rochester on Saturday, and finish their season at Buffalo State on Monday.

Facilities in.East Hartford, Connecticut and West Palm Beach, Florida �Sudden death CLASSIFIED WANTED The entire hockey schedule must be re-evaluated in the wake of the ECAC Playoff Tournament Committee’s weekend decision regarding this season’s playoffs. The hockey Bulls, who were thought to have an excellent chance to advance to the tournament, were not selected to the playoff field ‘The reason that we weren’t selected was that we didn’t play any of the contenders,” said Buffalo coach Ed Wright. “We didn’t play any of the contenders because they didn’t want to play us.” The problems that the Bulls have had in scheduling Division II opponents have been present since the day that varsity hockey began at Buffalo. The Division’s “powers” have shown a great reluctance to travel to Buffalo. Only New England College and American International have been regular visitors. The Bulls have even attempted to initiate a Christmas tournament involving Division II teams, but they have held their ground and refused to come. Hamilton, a squad which had formerly met the Bulls on an annual basis, received serious playoff consideration even though they refused to schedule Buffalo this season. “Greg Batt [Hamilton coach] told me we were too tough for them,” said Wright. Last year’s Bull squad, not nearly as good as the present one, had obliterated Hamilton, 11-3. Had Buffalo crushed the Continentals by a similar score this season, Hamilton’s playoff hopes would almost certainly have been dashed. “We need them, they don’t need us,” said Wright. “But, what can you do? Play on the road all the time?” Perhaps it would be necessary for the Bulls to spend half their season playing teams in New England in order to qualify for the tournament. An alternate campus in Maine could be set up so the Bulls could attend classes. An argument against playing too many road games can be brought the basis of Oswego’s recent New England trip. The Lakers had a 2-1 on lead over St. Anselm’s after one period in what was their third game in as many nights. St. Anselm’s coach Frank Harrington told Oswego coach Herb Hammond to “cool it” (the Lakers play a hard-hitting game) or he would see that none of the eastern teams would schedule Oswego. The Lakers “cooled it” and lost, 11-3. Obviously, the Buffalo schedule is not considered sufficiently strong by the playoff committee. Playing Brockport, R.I.T., Ithaca and Lake Forest will not help playoff chances at all, whether they be in Division II, III or IV. Realistically, Buffalo must defeat several New England playoff contenders on the road each season in order to be admitted to the playoff “circle.” The playoff seedings: 1, Vermont; 2, Merrimack;3,Salem Stat*;4, Williams; 7, Norwich; 8, Army. Boston State; 5, Epee victory H * Staff Writer Buffalo’s fencing team rebounded from a loss to Penn State on February 6th as they trounced Rouchester Tech 21-6 Saturday afternoon. It was the eighth win of the year against two losses for the Bulls. Buffalo also defeated Eisenhower College, 12-4 in an exhibition match. Despite the high score, no one on the team was particularly excited with his performance. The Bulls hold a 44-6 edge in this 39-year-old rivalry between RIT and this University, including 17-10 and 20-7 triumphs last year. The Bulls have a hard time getting psyched up against the Tigers. In fact, most of the squad expected a wider margin of victory. Buffalo got off to a slow start when the Tigers scored three victories in the first six bouts. Three epee victories in a row got the Bulls on the right track for the rest of the match. Buffalo was paced by epee fencers Marty Schiff and Tom Gately, who each won two bouts and lost none. The epee team swept nine bouts. Co-captain Howie Forman summed up the Bulls’ performance, “We beat them, but we fenced on their level. We - BIT as season nears Spectrum t end should have been fencing on our level.” Regional, NCAA championships As the Bulls’ season begins to wind down, attention is beginning to focus on the North Atlantic Regional Championships and the NCAA Championships. Forman (16 -4) and Munz (16-6) are Buffalo’s best hopes to improve on the Bulls’ fifth place finish in the regionals and 23rd place finish in the nationals last year, A little sooner, though, is a big five-way meet this Saturday at Clark Hall. R1T, Binghamton, Notre Dame and Wayne State will be on hand to close out Buffalo’s regular season, and a Bull sweep would turn a good season into a great one Last year, Buffalo topped Binghamton, but dropped the decision with Notre Dame. Wayne State is considered one of the top fencing schools in the country. “We’re going to have to have better practices than we have been having,” said Forman. He added-: “We have to be prepared physically and mentally. I know if I lose a few bouts early, I can really get down on myself and not win another match the entire day.” FOUND: 1.

No. 58 York rape law, which contains the corroboration requirement, means a rape victim’s testimony must be verified by another witness. But, according to ECCCAR; “Most rapes are not committed in broad daylight with many witnesses available.” Since “politics is a response to pressure,” Mr. McFarland explained, suggesting that each citizen write to Gov. Malcolm Wilson and urge him to sign the bill into law. Low conviction rate Currently, there are 35 states without the corroboration requirement, but New York will be the first to repeal it. “There is no justification for a law that treats a woman as less credible than a man,” said Mr. McFarland. The history of New York’s rape law was described by Joseph McCarthy, Erie County assistant District Attorney. The 1864 rape law required that the rapist’s identity, evidence of penetration, and the use of force all be proven by corroborated testimony. To prove penetration, the rapist’s semen must be found in the woman’s vagina. “Before 1972, New York had the strictest requirements in the countsy,” said Mr. McCarthy. The rape law was later amended to its present form, but it still retained the corroboration requirement. Under this law, of the 191 rapes reported in Erie County last year, only five rapists were convicted. The FBI estimates “only ten per cent of all rapes are reported to the police,” Mr. McCarthy said. Law enforcement representatives then discussed the police aspect of rape. “The ■ min or a judge must sign the consent form. One of the conferees suggested a judge should be available overnight to sign such forms so a victim admitted during the night will not have to wait until the morning to be examined. Victim credibility Ralph Dagenhart, Buffalo Police Chief of Detectives, urged starting a checklist for rape cases, but said the information should be programmed into the Central Police Services’ computer. He said this “would be very helpful in rape cases” because of the speed and accuracy with which police could obtain needed information about a suspect’s identity. Linda Cleveland, a 1973 graduate of the State University of Buffalo Law School, said juries decide rape cases according to the question; “Who is more credible the victim or the defendant?” She predicted the male-female credibility battle in rape cases will be greater once the corroboration requirement is repealed. “Lawyers don’t try to get a fair and impartial jury, but one that is prejudiced in favor of their clients,” Ms. Cleveland said. Reporting on a study of Erie County juries by the Buffalo American Civil Liberties Union, Ms. Cleveland said most jurors are white men between the ages of 40 and 50. Ms. Cleveland said although anyone over 21 can be on a jury, there are few young people. She urged people to write to New York State Assemblywoman Constance Cook, who is sponsoring a bill to abolish what Ms. Cleveland called “the statutory exemption for women.” - SA Elections: page 3 News story pages 8-9 Endorsements Candidates statements pages 11-17 Monday, 25 February 1974 8UPIAN3KV During rape trials, the victim is usually the prime witness, and it was suggested at the conference she should have a lawyer during the trial. ‘The chastity of the victim is relevant on the issue of consent, but the chastity of the defendant is usually irrelevant and inadmissible as evidence,” said William Carnahan, a trial attorney. Judge Loughlin, chairperson of the new Eric County Task Force on Rape (ECTFR), said its goal was “a totally linked program of high quality, comprehensive care for rape victims.” Within three or four months, she said, the ECTFR will set up a crisis service and improve services at Meyer Memorial Hospital, where all rape victims must now be examined to prosecute their attackers. of its people sent to help her ‘The Crisis Services maintains a 24-hour response to all persons in Erie County who are facing crisis situations, including victims of assault and offenders,” said coordinator Tim Williams. Their phone number is 854-1966. Mr. Williams said Crisis Services responds to calls in three ways; information concerning other services and procedures is offered; the callers are counseled with respect to their specific needs; and Crisis Services acts as a referral service to other health and mental health facilities. Crisis Services also includes a Crisis Outreach Program. Mr. Williams explained that male/female teams are available to go into the community. However, “We’re not out to provide anything for anyone that they can do themselves,” he said. Mr. Williams also described the Crisis Clinic, which provides short-term personal counseling, ‘The right kind of help when it’s most needed can avoid long-term psychological problems,” he said. Community cooperation The ECTFR solicits “all the recommendations we can get from the community, especially from women who have been raped,” said Ms. Loughlin. It is located in the Rath Building, Room 1237, 95 Franklin, Buffalo 14202. The next public meeting of the ECTFR is next Wednesday, February 27, at 2 p.m. in the Barbara Zartman of the Rochester Rape Rath Building. Crisis Service (RRCS), which is a part of Andrea Morgante, moderator of the the Rochester Planned Parenthood and Medical Services Workshop, announced uses its 24-hour phone service, said her organization tries to “separate politics and that the Emergency Psychological Admission To the Hospital (EMPATH) and services.’ The Rochester group consists of Meyer Hospital’s Emergency Room, as a result of the day’s conference, had agreed male/female teams of volunteers on duty for a week at a time.

He suggested we “get the rapist off the street so the women can walk them.” Dr. Kennedy said the two usual methods of preventing rape are better legal procedures and restricting women’s activity. She suggested improving street lighting, making women stronger, and changing social conditions. Emphasizing the last point. Dr. Kennedy said we must change the current sex roles. She also believes the economy should be modified so all people can work if they want. The power relationship the cooperation of the local hospitals and police. Five hospitals in Rochester will treat rape victims without involving the police and Blue Cross/Blue Shield pays their hospital expenses, Ms. Zartman said. “RRCS volunteers can help a woman put the attack in perspective; they can tell the woman what help is available; they can stay with her while she gets medical help; during police interviews (except during a lie detector test), and if she has to appear in court,” Ms. Zartman explained.

He cited this Gugino, SUNY University’s “manpower, technology and facilities” as possible resources that could be harnessed by the new think tank. Formally announced in October 1973, the Institute for Alternatives is a “joint idea” of Ernest L. Boyer, SUNY Chancellor and former New York Governor Nelson Rockefeller. Some observers have criticized the Institute as being part of a political vehicle for Mr. Rockefeller’s unannounced campaign for President in 1976. However, Dr. Boyer said there was only a “tenuous link” between the Institute and Mr. Rockefeller’s Critical Choices for America Policy Commission. The Institute — has' three goals: to conduct basic and applied research to provide a forum for alternative choices of action to serve as a training center for people from public and private campuses, business and labor.

Mr. Jackalone, who feels students are more concerned with their personal lives than student government, would actively seek student input into academic issues and other SA business by conducting a more “open” SA. Through hi* involvement on the Executive, Academic Affairs, Student Activities, and Future of Athletics Committees, Mr. developed Jackalone has of SA first-hand knowledge operations. His platform emphasizes taking firm stands on major academic issues; a complete revamping to make the Student Assembly more representative; the firm establishment of recreational and intramural programs on both campuses; and the creation of an efficient system of public information “to let students know what’s going on.” The Reichert Prospectus for the Colleges emphasizes “legitimacy at the expense of creativity and innovation,” Mr. Jackalone believes. level. Referring to the ACT course evaluations, Mr. Jackalone does they are presently not effective and would like to see them become a “working reality.” He wants to tap their potential for use in tenure decisions by them within one publishing semester after distribution. Revamping Assembly Mr. Jackalone attacked this year’s Student Assembly as “ineffective,” noting that the members were “ill-informed” and group ‘‘served interest representation.” In outlining his ideas to reorganize the Assembly, Mr. Jackalone drew up a detailed diagram of its proposed new structure. Committees chaired by the various SA Coordinators consider would carefully legislation before presenting it to floor, thus the Assembly providing increased legitimacy and well thought-out proposals. These committees would be opened up to the general student body by advertising in departments and classes for students interested in specific areas. The Assembly would thus be turned into a student “Senate” with a fixed number of representatives from various areas Academic Affairs, National Affairs, clubs, etc. each under a coordinator, and intriunurals. He pledged $25,000 for WNYPIRG so the consumer group can join its statewide parent group, NYPIRG. He said SA would “go out of its way” to solve minority group funding for problems “in return Executive Committee would serve as non-voting members. The success of the Student Assembly, Mr. Jackalone said, is contingent upon effective publicity. Mr. Jackalone proposed the bi-weekly publication of an SA explanation booklet and the creation of an open public information office, “ready to answer all questions.” He also plans to personally hold regular open forums in Haas Lounge to increase communication between SA and the general student body. ‘It’s students’ money’ To achieve better working relations with members of the Faculty-Senate, Mr. Jackalone will greater student bargain for representation on Faculty-Senate committees in exchange for faculty participation on student committees.

Ian DeWaal 1971-72 Bernard Gelbaum’s proposal for a return to the five-course load. “Learning can take place outside the classroom,” he insisted. Mr. Jackalone also felt the present grading system should contain a greater option for Pass/No Credit. “Emphasis must be taken away from grades by relying more on written evaluations in upper-level courses of a student’s major,” he said. To provide for a stronger student voice in tenure decisions, Mr. Jackalone would push for two voting student members on the Presidential Tenure Review Board. Additionally, he would campaign for more student input on tenure committees at the departmental When conflicts arise between the Administration or faculty and the students, student interest should be organized through the press, rallies, letters, and direct personal pressure from SA officials, Mr. Jackalone stressed. Mr. Jackalone favors more on student representatives Sub-Board 1 than SA Executive Committee members. However, he felt the SA President should be to Sub-Board to appointed facilitate communication between the other SA presidents (Graduate Student Association, Millard Fillmore College, etc.). He also recommended a move towards income-offset for such Sub-Board divisions as Health Care and Housing.

This part takes the potential applicant step-by-step through the -admissions process. by Jeff Deasy or being put on a waiting list when one should have been accepted, he said. Send explanation Another graduate suggests you send a cover letter with each application explaining what you have been doing for the last four years or perhaps explaining grade fluctuations. Also send each school a transcript of the first semester senior year making sure your grades have been accurately recorded. Many law schools weigh the L.S.A.T. score more heavily than grade point averages, said Dr. Fink who advises students to take the L.S.A.T. either in July between their junior and senior years and no later than October of their senior year. If the L.S.A.T. is taken any later students may not be able to get their applications in time for January and February deadlines. Dr. Fink reminds students that the earlier they apply the better their chances of any drastic Spectrum Staff Writer When you begin plans to apply to law school, the question of what kind of undergraduate background you should have may arise. Exactly what courses you should be taking is hard to determine. As one law student at U.C.LA. explained: “Undergraduate work bears little relationship to law school.” However, Jerome Fink, Pre-Law advisor at this Uiyvcrsity, suggests a broad liberal arts program which offers plenty of writing experience, particularly analytical writing. When you have decided on your program of undergraduate study, Dr. Fink suggests the following preliminary actions. During the summer between your junior and senior year begin writing the schools which interest you. Request a catalog, an application and financial aid information. You should correspond not only with the nationally prestigous schools but also with those schools where your chances of acceptance are relatively good. Next, law schools require recommendations. All prospective applicants should set up a reference file at University Placement and Career Guidance in Hayes C, Room 3, as soon as possible. Your file should, include people who can judge your acadmeic ability and if possible a long term employer. Schools may also require a letter of reference from your pre-law advisor. Have at least three strong references. Filing of law school applications and the sending of references should be done as early as possible in your senior year. According to one Buffalo graduate now in law school, “Just one word of advice the earlier one applies, the better off one is.” Late applications can result in rejection when one could have been on a waiting list most — being accepted. Can’t cram The L.S.A.T. is not an exam for which you can study, but it is probably helpful to buy a book which gives samples of past examinations, advises Dr. Fink. In a survey of University graduates now in law school conducted by Dr. Fink, several law students indicated that Simon and Schuster is the best prep for the law boards while the Cowl£k prep book is generally considered useless. It’s the individual student’s responsibility to tell the Law School Data Assembly Service (a special program established by Educational Testing, which summarizes grade point averages and L.S.A.T. scores) to which schools they want their test scores sent. Students must also arrange to have a copy of their transcript sent by the Office of Admissions and Records (in Hayes Annex B) to the LSDAS. The Law School Data Assembly Service will also forward students’ senior year, first semester grades to law schools at no extra charge. It is important that new information, such as first semester grades, be sent to update applications. An Admissions Committee may be unable to reach a decision on an application and new information may help them reach a positive decision. When you begin to think about selecting particular law schools, you should know that it is easiest to find a job in the same geographical areas as the law school attended, Dr. Fink said. Several former University students suggested visiting the schools you want to 'attend, sit jn on lectures, check library facilities. Whert visiting schools talk to the students there and try and talk to members of the faculty, they recommended. One Buffalo graduate found when he was applying that “almost all out-of-state schools cater almost entirely to their own state’s students.” However if one has the credentials, he should apply to out-of-state schools, because, as Dr. /Fink explains: “many regional schools, particularly those in the south and middle West, are trying to establish a national reputation.” In general, apply to a wide spectrum of schools, even if they’re not first choice, recommends Dr. Fink. When you begin the application process start a file which will include all law school transactions. Try to bring out, in those applications that require an autobiographical statement, things you have done, such as active participation in organizations such as the A.C.L.U. or a volunteer Legal Aid job. Do not withhold any information such as arrests or other personal matters which are asked about on the application, because once you finish law school you will be investigated, and withheld information may prove detrimental, personally according to Dr. Fink. Finally, one Buffalo law student explains that if you are applying to law school; “Don’t ever give up even if rejected at first. Keep on calling. Request personal interviews, show them you are serious. ‘Sell yourself’ if necessary. Reapply next year.” If you have any further questions contact Dr. Jerome Fink, at 4230 Ridge Lea, Room C*1, or call 831-1672. Starship Enterprise In the land ofKirk: tribbles, trash and Trekkies Ever since Star Trek was taken off the air, its number of viewers has increased tremendously. Rerun after rerun has thrilled audiences to the point of such fanatical cultism as to create the third annual Star Trek Convention (held February 15-18 at the Americana Hotel in New York City), where they can joyfully watch rerun after rerun of their favorite show. This year, 12,000 people waited with characteristic Vulcan patience for some seven hours in the registration lines. Upon entering the main ballroom, fans were treated to a variety of speeches and panel discussions involviing Star Trek’s Deforest Kelley (Dr. McCoy), George Takei (Sulu), Walter Koenig (Cheicov), and Michelle Nichols (Lt. Uhura), who reminisced about strange happenings on the set while filming. Leonard Nimoy (Spock) gave a 20-minute version of the same speech he delivered on this campus in November. There were also writers from the show, such as Dorothy C. Fontana (associate producer) and David Gerrold (Trouble with Tribbles), as well as the make-up artist, Fred Phillips, whose talent worked wonders on Nimoy’s ears. Trekkie treats Entering Hucksters Room was comparable to standing in the registration lines, only the lines did not exist. It was simply a room of mass confusion with greedy people picking up autographed copies of Michelle Nichols’ record, Star Trek banner, Star Trek letter paper, Star Trek point. This noted scientist, science fiction writer, and artist offered a realistic voyage of the Enterprise, but was rewarded with many yawns of general apathy. A different medium through which Trekkies could express themselves on their favorite topic was the costume show. Romulan commanders, pre-reformation (barbarian) Vulcan females, and crawling fur coats (recognized by many as tribbles) covered the stage. The greatest response was induced by a Klingon who attacked David Gerrold with such statements as “overbearing, tin-plated tribble lover with delusions of grandeur.” Six security officers, who had been forewarned, had to hold back Gerrold as the Klingon pranced about the stage to the great delight of the fans who dearly love shouting down their enemy. David Gerrold is very important to the Trekkic scene because he created Tribbles, those little furry creatures which are bom pregnant. The response to Gerrold varied from praising his creativity to sardonic witticisms such as “Arc you Harlan Ellison on stilts?” to out-and-out insults. Despite its repeated syndication (and David Gerrold’s unauthorized auctions of tribbles and scripts), Star Trek has not yet made a profit. A portion of the funds obtained this year will go to cancer research in Romantic naivete Despite this, Trekkies seem to be terribly naive, memory of the late Gene L. Coon, former executive preferring to be entertained by the romantic adventures of producer. Thus, the Star Trek “Cons” do have some Captain Kirk instead of studying the scientific and redeeming value to our philosophical bases of the Enterprises’s five-year mission. Hal Clement's slide show can be used to exemplify this Stanley Harper ash trays, paperweights, and coasters, and, of course, Trekkie buttons which held such famous lines as “Keep on Trekking,” “I have a one Trek mind,” and “Nixon is a Klingon in disguise”. The imagination of Star Trek people appears not only on buttons, but also on canvas. In the art show, beside the full-size stuffed Spock, was a series of commemorative nativity scenes featruing a baby Spock dressed in swaddling clothes lying in a shuttlccraft. In place of the sheep of the valley were hortas and tribbles, and the smiling faces of Captain James T. Kirk, Scotty, and Dr. McCoy represented the three wise men. These pictures, more than anything, symbolize the religious aura exuded by Star Trek upon the eager young wishing to find a new world. The trekkie is a unique creation. At the most intense level, he is a worshipping idealist who can see no other point of view than the 60-minute show presented. In totality, however, Trekkies are symbols of the universe getting to know itself by relating to intelligent life in general, rather than simply humans of earth. This is a response to the concept of “world nation.” fage four ;The Spectrum Monday- 25- February 1974 / socie^.^g �Questions unsettled concerning the death penalty Staff Writer Although New York State’s death penalty has been declared unconstitutional, those who believe it provides an effective deterrent to crime are fighting for its revival. The State Court of Appeals repealed the Capita] Punishment law in June 1973, following a 1972 Supreme Court ruling declaring such laws unconstitutional. “Capital punishment as practiced generally in the United States was so varied and arbitrary it violated the Eighth Amendment’s ban on cruel and unusual punishment,” the Supreme Court ruled. Laws of several states, including that of New York, were declared unconstitutional because they could be applied in a discriminatory manner. The Supreme Court found that enforcement of capital punishment laws was not being applied evenly, especially in the South, where the death penalty was meted out more readily to the blacks. The New York State Court of Appeals ruled that the law allowing execution for convicted murderers of policemen was unconstitutional because the death penalty for the crime was “optional,” leaving it to the discretion of the jury and judge. Proponents of capital punishment claim that if the state would change the wording in the law from “optional” to “mandatory,” the law would pass as constitutional. ‘It is constitutional for a state to pass laws including death penalties as long as there are strict standards in its application,” wrote Supreme Court Chief Justice Warren Burger. The repealed state penal code allowed for the death penalty in three specific cases: (1) piprdcr of a peace officer performing official duties; <2) murder of a prison guard while performing duties; and considered constitutional? “Any new bill will probably be based upon the old penal law, only without the discretionary clause,” explained a spokesman for Gov. Malcolm Wilson. When asked whether the Governor would favor reinstatement of such a bill, the spokesman insistently replied; ‘The Governor as of now has no statement and he will not make any statement. He is waiting till the bill is put before him.” „ n BOPlIWKtil (3) murder committed by a person serving a life sentence or escaping from such a sentence. The convicted person must be older than 18 at the time the crime was committed. Mandatory execution Last September, Rep. Mario Biaggi called for New York State to adopt a law providing mandatory death penalties for murder committed in the following categories; (1) murders of police or prison guards; (2) murders by hired assassins; and (3) murders of witnesses to serious crimes such as rape, murder, robbery and kidnapping. ‘Twenty other state have already adopted this law,” said Mr. Biaggi, terming the law an effective deterrent to Opposition to capital punishment Any proposals for reinstatement of the death penalty will apparently meet with considerable opposition. Capital punishment achieves no purpose, Herald Fahringcr, a- New York Civil Liberties Union lawyer, recently testified at the Erie County Legislature. ‘There is no reliable proof the penalty is a proper deterrent to crime,” Mr. Fahringer insisted. “According to statistics, within the past two years there has been a heavy increase in the homicide rate in states where the death penalty is now in effect,” Mr. Fahringer noted, “while the homicide rate has remained the same in states where the penalty was repealed. “The penalty, needless to say, does not allow for much rehabilitation. There is too much finality to the penalty. The state is now playing the role of the murderer,” he observed. Since the State Court of Appeals has rescinded the death penalty, there have been five men awaiting execution in Grcenhaven “K Gallery,” New York’s Death Row. Sen. James Buckley (C., N.Y.) commented on their predicament: “Reinstatement must be applied as soon as possible to eliminate such a waiting list, which is cruel and unusual in itself.” Assembly resceduled The University Assembly, originally scheduled meet on Thursday, February 28 in 111 Hochstetter, has been moved to the Moot Courtroom of JOhn Lord O’Brien Hall. to Math, Engineering & Science Majors The HEWLETT PACKARD CALCULATORS are at: BUFFALO TEXTBOOK • • 3610 Main St. Coming soon: The HP. 65 Programable pocket calculator.

Most comedy albums bum out after one or two listenings. They simply lose their sense of humor. They become dust collectors. Why? Because they’re not able to capture the essence of their own humor.

His scope of madness is unparalleled, and he’s pretty funny too. His films The Still the best conceived piece of Critic, The Producers cranial debauchery ever created The Twelve Chairs, and his current yuk—yuk brainchild Black Bart, are all classics in the sense of Chaplin, Keaton and Roach. But Brooks will always be primarily remembered for a little old man from two thousand years ago. A very opinionated 2000 Year Old Man, mind you. How did it all begin? Around 1950 Carl Reiner you know him, he’s Rob “All in de Family” Reiner’s father was sitting around toying with a newly acquired tape recorder. To test it he leaned over to Mel Brooks and asked, “Is it true that you were on the scene of the Crucifixtion some 2000 years ago?” Mel’s reply, as the instantly conjured 2000 year old fella, was simple and direct: “Ooooooooboy!!” After this, everywhere the two appeared the Old Man had a few comments or a few historical insights heretofore unheard of. This went on for awhile, until Steve Allen convinced them to take their ramblings to World Pacific Studios. They did; the results still maintains its humor and its conceptual brilliance.

When asked about how America should go about solving its financial difficulties he promptly answers, “sell America to Japan, we might as well make a profit after all they’re gonna get it in ten years anyway.” When queried about the future hopes of the world he seemed sceptical, but still had a solution. Is there any hope? “No. As long as the world is turning and spinning we’re gonna be dizzy, we’re gonna make mistakes. If some shmart guy can stop it so we’re not nauseous, then we’ll be able to think and we’ll solve the problems of the world.” So if you want a fleeting glimplse into life two thousand years ago, and you wanna find out about things like Paul Revere’s anti—semitism, Winston Churchills’ prolonging of the war because of poor elocution, or the War of Roses, pick up on the 2013 year old man.

It’s State of the University an expedient. The Spectrum: Then in terms of graduate school admissions, a student is nothing more than a batch of numbers cume, GRE score Dr. Ketter:'On the first go-through, that seems to be the case. Especially in cases like medical schools and law schools and dentistry. The Spectrum: Is this the direction education should move? Dr. Ketter: No, it shouldn’t The Spectrum: Do you see any viable solution? Dr. Kettcr: The reason I don’t sec any solution at the present moment is that we are hellbent to say that everyone in society should have as many degrees as possible.

It tends to become the union card for anything from ditch-digging on - — Editor’s Note: To determine the State of the University, The Spectrum’s Editor-in-Chief Home Kurtz and Campus Editor Gary Cohn interviewed University President Robert Ketter in January. These excerpts from that interview deal with Dr. Ketter’s comments on the 4-course load, grading, the graduate school admissions crunch and credentials. The Spectrum: Some critics argue that the 4-course load weakens our claim for more faculty in Albany. Do the budget people say: your faculty are now teaching only two courses instead of three? Dr. Ketter: No, they don’t say that. They say, your faculty is teaching exactly the same number of courses, but they are meeting the courses for fewer hours per week. Your statement iin The Spectrum that you had contacted the Division of the Budget and they don’t get into those questions Look at the Executive Budget where they say specifically: Buffalo shall remove two nursing faculty members because their student/faculty ratio is too great in the School of Nursing. That’s getting to be very specific, the first time we have getting into a particular program Executive into a specific program Budget go ever had the rich in nursing ratio is too and say, your student/faculty therefore you will other nursing programs; compared to two eliminate positions in nursing. We must sell the people in Albany on the four-course idea so that we can go forward. If we can’t, then we are headed for absolute mediocrity. There is no question - — The Spectrum: Do you feel faculty members have put in enough effort? Dr. Kcttcr: There is a great variance throughout the University. Some are working their tails off, and that’s almost endemic to a University setting; it’s a place where you can kill yourself or you can get away with virtually nothing. And some arc on both sides. The Spectrum: Are you looking for a yardstick to measure faculty performance? Dr. Ketter: I wouldn’t want them to have to measure to a yardstick, but at least to have something they can up compare themselves against. And something we can use as an argument when we say, we need more resources. The Spectrum: Should that yardstick transcend number of contact hours? Dr. Ketter: That’s one possible way [contact hours] 1 don’t say that’s foolproof. While we criticize like the devil the idea that credit hours are not a measure, we have not supplied anything that’s any better. And our first attempt is to say, Let’s take contact hours because that’s a little better than credit hours. But I don’t think we’ve really hit something that’s sellable yet. The Spectrum: Can contact hours really be a measure of education? How many hours I sit and listen to a faculty member talk to me? Dr. Ketter: No. It convinces certain people that have to authorize money that it’s one step further in terms of the amount of effort that’s being expended, not by students and that’s the one thing you have to separate when the arguments come up, they’re not saying. What does the student get? but, What is the faculty member giving? It’s a different question entirely. - - The Spectrum: Would you favor greater flexibility in credit-granting? Science majors feel there s some inequity. Dr. Ketter: I would favor a greater flexibility, period. There is nothing sacred about the idea of everything having four. It just doesn’t make sense. Certain others things package themselves very nicely in two’s 12’sand 16’s We shouldn’t package themselves nicely in be so hung up that everything gets four and we have to package everything in fours. There should be some greater rationale that. Four is the unit. The Spectrum: Do you favor the one contact hour for one credit hour formula that Dr. Gelbaum is proposing? Dr. Ketter; What he was proposing is, here is one that would probably be a little more step along the line would openly welcome somebody bit easier to defend. I and 1 tell the Faculty-Senate executive coming forward that for committee that every time I meet with them defensible is a more God’s sake, give me something that posture. Tell me anything The Spectrum: You’re looking for something you can defend? Dr. Ketter: Looking for something that says: This is something that makes sense. We’re and educational institution let us come forward with a measure that we tell somebody else. This is more meaningful.’ can at least The Spectrum: Aren’t you trying to defend an academic system against budgetary people who don’t really have an insight into academic matters? but we’re in the education Dr. Ketter; Sure business, so why should we not be able to educate even budget people? The Spectrum: Written evaluation seems to have more substance than labeling a student A or B. The argument raised against it is, ‘Well, it 'll hurt you in grad school. ’Asa former dean of the graduate school, can you envision a situation where written evaluations would be used in upper-level courses ofa student's major? I Dr, Ketter: Supplementing a letter grade, yes don’t see it replacing it. The grade shouldn’t have to remain, but when you get applications from 10 times more students than you have space for, you have faculty members examining these, almost without exception, they take the easy way out. They will use written evaluations to fine-tune something, but they will want an initial cast of - - — - — - — - —Santos Dr. Ketter about it, that if you can’t sell the idea, ‘We are the masters of our destiny’, we have no future, other than to be like everybody else. The Spectrum: Is the 4<ourse load beneficial? Dr. Ketter: 1 was one of the people who supported the idea that 4 separate units of examination per given period of time is the maximum number a student can legitimately look at. 1 do not think the argument has to do with the 4-coursc load as opposed to a 5-course load or 6-course load. The question comes down to if whatever you give is reasonably marked in terms of the degree of effort, the degree of whatever you put into it. And it’s normally not an argument with regard to what does a student do, but what does a faculty member do that is always. The question is not the thing that comes take, the question is, courses "student how many effort does a member put in. faculty how much - utmost - - up and down. And we’d better get out of that mode of operation; jt just doesn’t make sense. It’s a credentialed society. But as long as there are 5000 students applying for 138 positions in medicine or 3000 for 200 positions in law and yet you know there are not that many jobs available when they get out. And they know it too. The Spectrum: Should the grad schools be turning out people in areas where the government says there will - be jobs? Dr. Ketter: My particular attitude toward education is that anyone who gets themselves into a framework whereby the education that they get is applicable only to one particular situation has the wrong education. Education should be more concerned with giving people the tools so they can attack a variety of problems, and so they can learn on their own. My own example: 1 got one Ph D, and by going another semester I could have gotten a second Ph.D, and when I enrolled for the class, I got called in by the dean of the graduate school, and he called me a horse’s ass. And 1 said, What’s wrong with getting two Ph.D’s? And he said, What do you think the first one’s all about? It says that we believe you can study on your own. If you want this thing, go out and study and get it. You don’t need somebody to give you that second pat on the head. 1 was hung up on the credential business, the idea of stacking things up after your name. We should not be turning out people who are obsolete as of the time they graduate or five years later. We should be turning out people who can take the education they’ve received and use it to solve any number of problems. But if you get yourself in those blinders that I’m a cultural sociologist, 1 studied the Aztecs, and if we can’t find any more Aztecs, I’m dead it doesn’t make sense. With some faculty members, the object is to reproduce people who look identically like they do; it’ the highest form of flattery. Monday, 25 February — — 1974 . The Spectrum . Page seven �■ ■ ■ . .

Mr. Jackalone will aggressively deal with the Administration "as a student, not like a fellow administrator" as Jon Dandes presently does. An Assemblyman and SA executive committee member not that well known to the student body, Mr. Jackalone has concrete, well thought-out ideas, a good grasp of the important issues and a decisive awareness of SA's problems. Extremely knowledgable on academics, Mr. Jackalone has specific proposals to save the Frank leadership, Jackalone integrity and progressive Colleges by personally confronting individual faculty and Administrators. He favors wider use of the Pass/No Credit grading option, and will bargain for more students on Faculty-Senate committees, where academic decisions are made. He will fight for the 4-course load; he rejects the idea that education equals credit hours and favors "learning outside the classroom." Mr. Jackalone has a comprehensive plan to revitalize the impotent Student Assembly by doing away with 40-signature petitioners who "represent themselves." He will strengthen both academic clubs and specific committees, which then produce carefully-considered would legislation to the Assembly floor. He has pledged increased funding for more activities and facilities on the Amherst Campus. He has promised $25,000 for WNYPIRG, and would have altered budgets to fund WNYPIRG after last fall's referendum because "it's the students' money, they should decide how it's spent." He intends to meet with minorities on a 1-to-l basis. Mr. Jackalone is a straightforward, honest individual who has displayed leadership in the Assembly all year. Having been frustrated by "SA executive committee power games," he would decentralize decision-making and appoint "ordinary students" to Sub-Board. Perhaps most important, Mr. Jackalone recognizes the apathy on campus and would "chip away" at it by public soliciting student input through and committees information, open SA meetings, Involving students with a specific area of interest. He would recall or publicly oppose irresponsible SA coordinators. He feels SA should take strong stands on issues, particularly academics, and use the press, rallies and boycotts if necessary to make the faculty and Administration listen. He will make an excellent SA President. Bob Burrick's face is quite familiar; as Speakers Bureau chairman, he has been seen with the likes of William Ruckelshaus and Jack Anderson. He has been a hard worker and good organizer in student government. But because he has only a superficial grasp of important issues, especially academics, he is simply unqualified to be SA President. Mr. Burrick is satisfied with SA's "good relationship" with President Ketter, and like Mr. he would not confront the Oandes, Administration and would probably weaken under its prodding. Mr. Burrick has only vaguq ideas of how he would support the Colleges and 4-course load, and has no real conception of how he would deal with the Faculty-Senate and Administration. His standard answer to every academic problem is a naive reliance on the University Assembly, a non-academic body. Mr. Burrick displayed no leadership abilities all year as a member of the SA executive committee and Student Assembly, and was frequently indecisive. He has pledged him commitment to fund WNYPIRG, but although he is an SA executive committee member, he was unfamiliar with its funding problems this year. He has, however, promised to improve living conditions on the Amherst Campus. Mr. Burrick's plan to strengthen the Student Assembly by building up academic clubs is a good one, but he is short on the specifics of achieving it. He is running on a platform of flashy proposals with many slogans, but they are mostly cosmetic, lacking substance and ways to implement them. In his zeal to get elected, Mr. Burrick has compromised himself by discussing post-election jobs and bargaining for political support. Besides questionable dealings, he would take too much power into his own hands, especially in appointments to Sub-Board and elsewhere. In sum, although Mr. Burrick has been an effective Speakers Bureau chairman and hard worker, he does not possess the qualities required of an effective SA President. Michael Koffler has a refreshingly good perception of student problems and strong activist convictions, but is weak on specifics; his lack of familiarity with the University structure would render him ineffective. Danny Rosenfeld is naive on the issues and vague on solutions. Ellen Haskin is running on a Marxist platform and admits she has no idea of how she would spend $800,000. Mr. Burrick's shallow grasp of important issues would render him a mediocre President at best. By virtue of knowledge, leadership, integrity and imagination, Frank Jackalone is by far the best qualified to be an activist and effective SA president. Vice-President: Scott Salimando As Mr. Jackalone's runningmate, Scott Salimando sees himself as a director of the revamped Student Assembly. Despite his forceful personality and excellent knowledge of issues, the Goodyear Hall president will play down his personal opinions in order to assert the power of the Student Assembly. While hi is concerned about making the Assembly "representative and effective," he is realistic and realizes the restructuring will take time and will not be a "panacea." Mr. Salimando has a good conception of SA—IRC cooperation on the North Campus, will insure that coordinators do their job, and looks legislation from for well-researched strengthened Assembly committees. Carol Stykes would probably work well with the Student Assembly and coordinators, but she represents the status quo of an ineffective Assembly. She is weak on the issues, particularly academics, and would yield too easily to the Administration. If the Athletic Department threatened to close the gym, SA would "probably have to give in," she believes. A lackluster participant in this year's deadhead Student Assembly, she has few new ideas. While Ms. Stykes would probably do an adequate, status quo job, Mr. Salimando is the far superior candidate for vice-president. Vice-President for Sub-Board: Rich Hochman Knowledgable about Sub-Board's problems and not mired in the status quo, Rich Hochman is 1 Page eight. The Spectrum .Monday* 25 February 1974 an excellent candidate. The Health Care division director brings a managerial approach to the long-needed task of de-politicizing Sub-Board. Mr. tbe Board out of Hochman would hands off the day-tonlay operations internal priorities of Sub-Board's organizations, retaining only fiscal responsibility. He has an excellent knowledge of which areas can be made income-offset, so that most of Sub-Board's enterprises can eventually break even. Mr. Hochman has long-range plans for Sub-Board's growth and expansion, including lobbying in Albany. While Eileen Schleetein of the Housing corporation could probably do an adequate job, she lacks experience with Sub-Board's problems. She is involved and sincere, pressing the educational role of Sub-Board, but has only sketchy ideas about income-offset and FSA. Ms. Schleelein is knowledgable but would be poor at pushing to get things done; her leadership is questionable. Mr. Hochman deserves to be elected. . Treasurer: Mike Phillips Although neither candidate is ideal, Mike Phillips' financial expertise makes him the superior candidate. After working for the SA Finance Committee and Sub-Board's banking office, Mr. Phillips knows the fiscal end of student government as well as anyone In the school. Although he has a distorted view of the Administration and FSA, he has an excellent knowledge of student government workings. Mr. Phillips is also exploring supplemental funding for athletics. Although his rapport with people has been questioned, we hope he will acquire the personal diplomacy that the job of Treasurer requires. Sal Napoli's lack of fiscal experience disqualifies him from serious consideration as Treasurer. With sketchy budget priorities, and no working knowledge of student government channels, including Sub-Board, FSA and the Administration, it would take Mr. Napoli most of the year just to learn his way around. He wouldn't know where to go if the Administration vetoed an SA expenditure. While Mr. Napoli did a good job managing Ski Club, that is not the same as handling $800,000. Academic Affairs: Mark Humm Mark Humm and Pam Benson are both extremely qualified. Ms. Benson is familiar with the Administration, and would lobby on a 1-to-1 basis with Faculty-Senators. She would work to get more faculty and money for the Colleges and for an ABC/No Credit grading system. Although she is extremely knowledgable on academics, her lack of assertiveness presents the risk that her voice might be drowned out. While Ms. Benson knows where to go to get things done, we feel she would ask and not pressure. Mark Humm, with his persuasive and forceful personality, will get things done. Mr. Humm will actively defend the Colleges' need for autonomy, recognizing the Reichert Prospectus' emphasis on "legitimacy at the expense of innovation and creativity." Perceptive and realistic, he would actively seek student imput and reflect student concerns by badgering He Administrators. Faculty-Senators and recognizes that grades are "arbitrary," that the University is "becoming a factory," and would strengthen student academic clubs and the student voice in academic decisions. While Ms. Benson and Mr. Humm are both well-qualified and knowledgable, we believe Mr. Humm's persuasiveness would enable him to be a more effective Academic Affairs coordinator. Carol Mahoney, who just transferred here, is knowledgable on academics and has potential, but has an unrealistic view of compromising with the Administration and faculty. Without more seasoning into campus politics, she would risk making student concessions for nothing in return. Dorian Levine has little concept of academics and is unqualified. �Student Rights: Hilary Lowell Hilary Lowell would bring broad experience the Legal Aid Clinic to this post. An expert on in housing problems wfftHhiri written a book on landlord/tenant disputed Mr. Lowell would publicize the grievance procedure, and try to get Campus Security to have Vnore faith in the Student-Wide Judiciary. He has a lawyer-like approach, however, and would not favor student rallies to oppose arming of Campus Security. Hoping that he will take a more assertive role than he has in the Legal Aid Clinic, we feel Mr. Lowell is the best candidate for Student Rights Student Affairs: Howie Shapiro This year's North Campus coordinator, Howie Schapiro is experienced and knows the Administration channels to achieve results. He would investigate Food Service, Off-Campus Housing and Financial Aid, take the initiative at Orientation and send mailings to transfer students. He plans a comprehensive booklet of student services and has a good feel for SA—IRC cooperation on Amherst Campus activities. Mr. Schapiro is well-suited for Student Affairs. Malcolm Kurin, however, knows little of housing, financial aid, parking and DUS advisement problems. He conceives of Student Affairs as student services; he would investigate the Rathskellar. With no working knowledge of student problems, Mr. Kurin is unqualified. Martin Brooks is an excited individual with good ideas who should stay in student government. However, he lacks knowledge in key areas and is admittedly more concerned with "legalistic, intangible things." His main focus would thus be a student rights research group. Because we feel the Student Rights coordinator must be an activist investigator, Mr. Brooks would not be the best choice. Despite a forceful personality that would enable him to take an activist role, Larry Katz lacks direction and new ideas. He would attempt to upgrade the quality of advice dispensed by the Legal Aid Clinic. However, he is vague on his other concrete plans and lacks a clear sense of priorities. Student Activities: Sylvia Goldschmidt Goldschmidt has an extensive Sylvia knowledge of the clubs, would resist interest group pressures, and will help strengthen the academic clubs. As a Resident Advisor, she has developed the interpersonal skills needed for this job. Ms. Goldschmidt has excellent ideas on publicity, recruiting, and keeping tabs on clubs through monthly reports. Her presence is needed. Bill Walsh is sincere but plainly lacks experience. His only criterion for funding clubs would be the number of members; he said he National Affairs: Michele Smith WNYPIRG veteran Michele Smith is a hard She would impressive experience. with worker expand the scope of the job to include student-related community affairs such as housing, mass transit and the Amherst Campus area. Ms. Smith will work with SASU and feels SA should take strong stands on education-related state and national issues, such as tuition and financial aid bills.

An representative level, Mr. Keinan has an a personal activist on with rapport people and an acute excellent problems.

Monday, 25 February 1974 . an excellent benefit concert by Ken Licata Spectrum Arts Staff To assist the refugees of the recent political upheaval in Chile, the Cleveland Quartet performed ao benefit concert Sunday in Capen 140. The room was bad, the crowd was good, and the Quartet was great. In fact, if there is a more energetic and sensitive quartet aroung today, then its existence is a well-guarded secret. Sunday’s concert Opened with the Mozart Adagio and Fugue in c minor, dedicated to the lives lost in Jthe Chilean struggle. It is a sobering work, intensely shadowy. The Quartet’s Romantic un-Mozartian rendition was fitting in light of the setting. One of the striking things about the Cleveland Quartet is the degree of coalescence which the members exhibit. As they play, they constantly watch each other, using each other’s phrases as The result is a holistic entity which four thoughts from a single mind. sounds like Franz Schubert’s frantic Death and the Maiden string quarted proved to be an excellent vehicle for the talents of the Cleveland Quartet. Its mournful urgency relents only in the second of the four movements. The other three darkly explore the < minor modes. Here, at the expressive climax of the program, expressiveness could be seen in the faces of the players as well as heard in the sonorities they were producing. Although the acoustics of Butler Auditorium tended to blur some of the rapid forte passages, the galloping whirlwind of the last movement brought the audience to its feet, shouting its approval. Responding to the rousing ovation, the Quartet consented to an encore. In the world of “classical” concerts an encore is a real treat, not part of standard procedure as in rock concerts. And a treat it was, as violinist Donald Weilerstein included some prefatory remarks with the “Arguments” movement of Charles Ives’s second string quartet. This is probably the funniest movement in music literature and the Cleveland Quartet’s performance, aided by Mr. Weilerstein’s explanation, brought down the house. ’ Also included in the beginning of the program was the Op. 18, No. 3 Quartet of Ludwig van Beethoven, to which the Quartet lent its usual fluidity and clarity. Congratulations are in order for the performance, as well as for the recent Grammy Award nomination for the group’s recording of the Brahms String Quartets on RCA Red Seal.

These statements were written by the candidates themselves, in response to written questions submitted by The Spectrum. The Spectrum assumes no editorial responsibility for the content of The very concept of student government is based on the reality that we. as students, must be represented in University decisions. Far too often in the past, our Student Association has been blind to the fact that, within the realm of university life, academic policies have the greatest affect upon students, and, therefore, require a very significant level of student input. The future role of Student Association in academics must be one in which it can effectively deal with the Faculty-Senate and the Administration. The first step in this effort is to make the Student Association respected as capable of considering academic issues. The S.A. Academic Affairs Committee must be totally restructured so that its members be departmental collegiate representatives. Furthermore, Student Association must be able to present its bargaining position as one based on student support. S.A. must actively inform students of the facts concerning campus issues, so that a new student awareness can be mobilized into a force and to be heard. The specific areas of concern in academics that will require a strong student voice in the future may be outlined. 1 Student Association should use its full resources to save the innovative nature of the Colleges by maximizing collegiate input on the Chartering Committee and on the —continued on page 12 — — Mike Koffler What role should student government play in the academic decision-making process?

The student government should play an active role in the academic decision-making process. The role should be an advisory and resolutory one. The school's administration has in the past been the sole decider of events and changes with respect to the procedural aspect of learning. It is my suggestion that the administration allow there to be a liaison board between the students and the administration which will have the following powers. First, the power to veto new policy. Secondly, the power to initiate new policy. The result will be a university which is in part organized and functioning by the needs of the students. Recently there has been action taken to abolish the Colleges. I feel that that would be detrimental to our learning experience. The Colleges are a point of distinction between this university and any other school. The sense of individuality that one feels when he is able to take courses that are genuinely interesting would be destroyed if the Colleges disappear. Our four-course load is another distinction between this and other schools. As a student at the University of Buffalo one can take four courses and can delegate his time so that each class gets maximum attention. If we change over to a five-course load, the result would be inadequate time for each of one's courses. Our grading However, I think that system is adequate. —continued on page 12— Danny Rosenfeld What role should student government play in the academic decision-making process? Include in your answer an explanation of your position on the Colleges, the 4-course load, the Faculty-Senate, grading and how you would insure a student voice in Administration policy-making. * Photos by Kim Santos ; V * * Students on this campus are lacking an influential voice in deciding academic policies. The weakness in the university academic system has been shown by the ill treatment of the colleges by the faculty and the administration. Students must organize to get the needed reforms giving them an influential voice in academic affairs. They must picket, hold demonstrations, and even call a student strike if necessary. They will not get anything otherwise. The administration has taken advantage of the lack of student involvement in governing the academic policies of the university- This is why the colleges are in danger of being swallowed, the 4-course system being abolished, and the undercutting of many popular student programs. The colleges need sufficient funds from the university in order to run effectively, which they do not have now. Flexibility of the colleges will be'hurting if the Reichert perspectus does what it wants to the experimentation that has previously been allowed in the classroom. The autonomy inherent in the colleges should be retained, the autonomy that the prospectus provides turns the colleges into another bureaucratic department of the university. When I pick the two candidates from the SA to the chartering committee, I will pick people who have been involved with the colleges, hope will and sympathetic to their goals.

In order to insure that the spirit of experimental education is not lost from the Collages, I will appoint members from tha Collegiate Assembly at the two to the Collage undergraduate Charter Council. Faculty-Senate For too many years, academic policy has been totally supervised by tenured faculty whose touch with educational reality is sometimes questionable. My intention is for students to be represented on all Faculty-Senate Committees and to insure representation which reflects the viewpoints of the student body. Grading Although my personal preference is towards an A, B, C No Record System, the — — student referendum this past fall indicated that students overwhelmingly are satisfied with tha present grading system. I shall, however, continue to place the entire question of grading at the forefront of my priorities. State your budgetary priorities, including proposed funding for Day Caro Canter, CAC, WNYPIRG, minority student organizations and tha dubs. Should Sub-Board I and the Athletic Department receive more, the tame or leas money than last year, and why? The question of fiscal priority is one that must be answered solely on the basis of student interest and involvement. That is to say, those programs which ultimately benefit the most students should be made the top priorities of any budgetary process. On this basis than, if we can assess these programs on the basis of their student support we can then intelligently and uniformly insure that those programs get funded so that they can function and thrive. Programs such as WNYPIRG, Athletics, and CAC which have demonstrably shown that they are widely supported should benefit from this by receiving increased funding. Sub-Board I, Inc. whose original was to move toward an income-offset status is only recently approaching that stage and should continue to do so. It is at a point now where student government allocations should be decreased. The Day Care Center and Health Care Divisions whose constituency is University-Wide, and not solely undergraduate should be kept within the realm of Sub-Board I, Inc. so that undergraduate students are not forced to solely provide the funding. I will encourage ample funding for both of these programs. Minority Student Organizations are better equipped to deal with the specific problems of their constituencies. In this context, they must be allowed the autonomy to function independently. Along with this responsibility, however, I recognize the SA commitment to the majority of the campus that does not function within these groups, and believe that we must arrange our priorities accordingly. support intent Many students on this campus do not look to student government for leadership. Would you attempt to change this? If so, why and how? If not, why not? It will be my intent this year to focus and amplify student opinion through the Student Association. By the support I hope to generate, it will then be the responsibility of the SA Executive Committee to fulfill the leadership role that I see as its function. This leadership shall be manifested by more actively communicating with students through forums, public statements, and increased communication with student interest groups. Communication between students and the SA President should not stop with the elections. By increasing the flow of information I hope to establish SA as the primary vehicle through which student opinion is articulated. It must always be remembered that SA exists solely to represent student interests. In this context, the leadership role which SA should play is one of first attaining the confidence of the student populace by demonstrating its sensitivity and then maintaining this respect and integrity by following through on student opinion. The SA President should be allowed responsibility for SA policy, but as a corollary must be accountable for his actions to the student body. . .

NOVA will set at its second priority the provision of stability in athletics. I foresee an immediate need for an increase in recreation on both campuses. With regards to intercollegiate athletics, we believe that a joint effort on the part of the administration, tha alumni, and students to establish high quality teams in the spectator sports will be a positive step towards an income-offset athletic program. CAC mutt b« viewed as unquestioned in value and shall be supported at least at the level of funding of the currant year.

While minority organizations must have the finances to provide a variety of activities for their people, no funding will occur unless budgets are justified in the same way required by S.A. of all other organizations. Club budgeting priorities will be reordered to make available additional funds to those funds that service large numbers of students. Many students on this campus do not look to student government for leadership. Would you attempt to change this? M so, why and how? If not, why not? Student government can only be as strong as the voice of the students behind it. Student Association has proven itself an ineffectual organization in representing student's concerns and this ineffectiveness must be directly linked to the fact that students don't look to S.A. for leadership.

As Student Association President, I would consider my major responsibility to be the voicing of student opinion to the faculty and the Administration. I realize, however, that our academic interests will never be protected unless Student Association can inform and activate the student it represents. Rage-twelve-. The Spectrum Monday, 25 February 4974 . . The NOVA party is calling for a new voice in student government. The violence of the sixties and the apathy of the present have both proven incapable of protecting students' rights. The time has come for a new brand of student activism based on effective lines of communication. Student Association must achieve a much broader base of participation in which representatives are directly channeled into areas of concern such as academics, students' rights, and community affairs. Representatives must be actively organized as a means to contact those students who are not directly involved in S.A. Student Association must set as its two highest priorities (a) informing students about S.A. activities and policies, and (b) actively seeking student input. Only by communicating with its people will S.A. be capable of leading them. My role as S.A. president will be to provide leadership based on student wants. I will attempt to communicate with both the faculty and the Administration. If students' rights are ignored, I will take a firm public stand in opposition. I will have the necessary confidence knowing my voice is the students' voice. Mike Koffler . . . instructors should whenever possible write an evaluation of the student. This would result in a unification of student and faculty caused by the personal touch needed to compose an evaluation. State your budgetary priorities, including proposed funding for Day Cara Center, CAC, WNYPIRG, minority student organizations and the dubs. Should Sub-Board I and the Athletic Department receive more, the same or less money than last year, and why? The budget that we create each year is a statement of priority. When writing a budget my priorities put the minority student organizations up high. I think that minority groups deserve to have substantial allocations so that their people can be aware of their activities and to that their communities can become involved in the group's functions. Along with this I feel that-the Athletic Department and WNYPIRG deserve priority position. The Athletic Department has a tendency to unit* people. I contend that any organization that can effectively unit* the students in thl* university is a top priority. Sub-Board I is also In need of an increment. I feel this because! would like to expand the Board to include an organization which unites private civic and ethnic dubs and organizations with our school. Such an addition requires funds. I would Oka funds to be available for that purpose. Meny students on this campus do not look to student government for leadership. Would you attempt to change this? If so, why and how? If not, why not? Our university seems to be notorious for on apathetic viewpoint of the students when it comas to student government I feel very strongly on this point. My plan to get people involved is to establish an office at cabinet level. I will be called the Office of Student Information. Its function will be to arouse people and get them involved in the activity and progressions of the Student Association. My main objective as President is to express the desires of the students. Those desires can not be accounted for if the students react apathetically to events and policy. I will devote myself to the goal of making this school a united and interested university. If it means we should have a football team. I’m for that. If it means having good concerts, I'm for that. At a candidate for action and change, respectfully submit this statement. Danny Rosenfeld r . . I . • make things a little easier for them. I will stimulate more community involvement with the collages and the university. The school and the university have been traditionally too isolated from each other to reap the benefits that each offer. Students need more representation on the Faculty-Senate. Not students who sit there and taka up space, but students who participate in the actual decisions concerning academics. This is a lot to ask considering that faculty members without tenure or most of the faculty who are radical do not have this privilege. The university has a long way to go before granting students their long overdue academic rights. And student involvement is the only way to get it. State your budgetary priorities, including proposed funding for Day Cara Canter, CAC, WNYPIRG, minority, student organizations and the clubs. Should Sub-Board I and the Athletic Department receive more, the same or Ian money than Int year and why? It would be very difficult for me to lit down and say to you exactly how much I am planning to give to each group, since I have not actually sat down and talked to their representatives concerning the future needs and aspirations of their specific group. Making a specific plan for a budget now would be impractical, considering the amount of change going on in the university and community. Even in the few short weeks until election, events might possibly come up that would considerably alter the shape of student affairs. Day Care Center, CAC, and their affiliated organizations should have their budget increased to accommodate the growing needs of the student body. In order to make a fair decision concerning WNYPIRG's allocation, I would have to know more about the organization. From what I do know of them now, I would be inclined to drop their budget slightly. Minority students should receive about the same they are getting now, and they should be given it when it is due. The Athletic Department should receive more than they are getting this year. Many students get enjoyment out of watching student sports, and in participating in student intramurals. These programs have been underfunded taking away what is enjoyable to the university. If gym was dropped as a requirement, then the money saved from that could be given over to Athletics dispelling much of their financial instability and providing students with more recreation. I have not spoken in depth to Sub-Board members, but from what I know of their budget I think it should be dropped slightly. Both The Spectrum and Ethos have their own means of making money, and should be able to handle a lot of their own finances. This would have to be looked into when I assume office. Many students on this campus do not look to student government for leadership. Would you attempt to change this? If so, why and how? If v not, why not? Students in this university have not looked to the student government for leadership, because it �ha( not taken the lead in the most disturbing controversial issues.

Student interest groups have become tire of the administrative runarounds given to them, and of the do nothing policy that the Student Association offered them. In the past, they have been forced to take it upon themselves to represent their own interests, and go after them by themselves. These groups should have been backed by the student body, and thair planned events endorsed and sponsored by the Student Association. In fact, the SA should have represented these groups, united with them, worked with them for their goal. This is what needs to be done in order for the student government to gain the confidence of the students and to get our problems solved. the forty (40) signature petition to get on S.A. 3.

What, if any, changes would you make? The Student Assembly has been plagued in the past years by its own structure. The present interest group structure has drawn Assembly members with vested interests and narrow minds. In the past the Assembly has been primarily a budgeting body because of this structure, and has time and time again failed in the passing of attempts to handle relevant student issues. Attempts by past Student Associations to create an effective Student Assembly within the present Scott Soiimando Presently, the Student Assembly is exactly what the students think it is: an ineffective farce. Consider the following: attendance at Assembly meetings is very poor. Those who attend are not accountable to the students or their constituencies. The meetings are so ill-prepared that the members seldom know what they're voting on. And when they do vote, they vote more from ignorance and boredom rather than from a position of knowledge. Obviously, if even the Assembly members don't know what’s going on, one cannot expect the student body, the faculty, or the administration to take the Assembly seriously! It just can't be done. Hear me out. I believe I have the ideas for Assembly reform that can rectify the situation. They are the following: 1. Redirect the present committee systems of S.A. so that more legislation originates from them. 2. Do away with have reached this point. They believe that their job it done. They’re wrong. The Vice-President hat the integral responsibility of keeping his Assembly and the student body informed on all the issues. This meant sending out information to Assembly members well in advance of meetings so they will be able to participate intelligently. It alto meant using the media and other forms of public information to tell the people what it going on at Assembly meetings and, more important, how their money is being spent. Finally, the Vice-President must be the one man "in-the-know" at all times. He must be able to use his knowledge to communicate with every structure has proven unsuccessful. If elected, I will attempt to implement a change in Student Assembly structure to move towards academic representation rather than interest groups which have never been properly defined in the past. Under this system, the Assembly will be much more representative and will be better equipped to become the effective student voice it should. The attempt to increase student interest in the Student Assembly by holding meetings in the Haas Lounge has not created any significant increase in the popularity of Assembly meetings. What it has done is create an atmosphere which is not conducive to running an effective meeting placing a great strain on those persons responsible for keeping order, I would suggest that meetings body be effective it must first take the concern of responsible students and qualified leaders. Any change that need be will soon follow. How do you interpret the role of the Vice-President aside from the prescribed Student Assembly duties? The role of the Executive Vice-President of Student Association is one of the most crucial factors contributing to the success of student government on this campus. As the coordinating link between the major branches of Student Association the Executive Vice-President must first create a creditable Student Assembly, see that a proper flow of information is created between the President, Executive Committee, and the Assembly, and than use that Assembly to initiate realistic legislation. A second function of the Executive Vice-President is to strengthen the weaknesses of the President. In this context the Vice-President must be ready at all times to step right into a decision making role in areas where the President, for one reason or another, is unable to act.

VICE-PRESIDENT FOR SUB BOARD I * Rich Hochman What diraction should Sub-Board I move in? Include in your answer a discussion of financial priorities, structure, and moda of operation. ■ Sub-Board I, Inc. is a corporation owned and operated by the students of SUNYAB, and should act and respond as such. I think the first responsibility of Sub-Board is to provide student services; services which the students want and need and which the state does not provide for them. The board, in order to insure its continued existence must move closer to a break-even basis. It is my opinion that in its financial priorities the board must determine what services the students desire and the priorities should be so aligned. The structure of the board should be changed so as to provide consistency, and long range structure plans must be made within the next year. I am personally inclined to the recommended two year stagger membership system, with possible campus wide elections for board membership rather than continuing functioning of Student Association and tha aetlvitiaa it supports? priorities, structure, and moda of operation. Sal Napoli Sub Board I, a corporation for students, must student-service orientation in mind. Those areas of universal student interest must be supported to the extant possible and matters of immediate interest should be carefully considered. In light of the fact that priorities change from time to time, I feel that projects should, just the same, not be abandoned because they have fallen out of tha limelight. Diversity has its place on a campus such as this. Health Cara and Publications should be given every consideration to insure their stability and viability. With Health Care working on an income-offset basis and Publications expanding, these areas of student concern should be fully maintained. Housing has weathered various critical stages well, and through wise management will relieve Sub-Board of a financial burden, and at the same time remain for the benefit of If mandatory student foot am abolished in April, what stape would you taka to inaura tha continuing functioning of Studant Aaaociation and tha aetivitiaa it aupporta? operate with a students. Of concern regarding activities and events on this campus are the problems UUAB has faced in the past finding places and facilities in order to materialize ideas.

This can be done by combining the efforts of S.A. and the media on this campus to make public the pros and cons of this upcoming student referendum. 2. Voluntary Fees. If the mandatory fees are down, I feel it would be necessary to voted institute a voluntary student fee. This income would be used to continue to support the small clubs that depend on S.A. for their existence. Naturally, the fee would be significantly reduced.

How One must first note that the candidate elected Student Association Vice-President to Sub-Board, is not necessarily the chief officer of the Corporation, but is either the Chairman or the Treasurer depending upon the vote of the board members, including members from five other student governments. As an officer of Sub-Board it would be my duty to serve all students of the University, including the undergraduates. Sub Board as a student corporation should by virtue of its nature represent the needs of the students. In a conflict situation the best interests of the corporation would probably guide my actions. I do not anticipate that the conflicts would be either numerous or serious in nature, if Sub-Board is really representative of the students as I would believe it to be. to shell out $67 a year, voluntarily. But if we publicize the large cutbacks in activities that may occur, I am confident that we will receive support from the students. 3. Athletics. It will be necessary to pressure the state to subsidize the athletics program. We would not be able to give them the subsidy they need. Financial Independence. I will actively rapid transition to income-offset operation for major student organization, including S.A. organizations such as Sub Board I provide the bulk of student activities and participation on this campus. Without it and others, this university will become an activities ghost town. What direction should Sub-Board I move in?

How will you deal with pressure from special interest groups? definite place for undergraduate representation Sub-Board. By the same token, all constituencies have a voice regarding direction on policy, (and all constituencies should be proportionally represented.) As an undergraduate representative, the Vice-President for Sub-Board should represent the views of undergraduates. However, serving at the same time as chairperson of Sub-Board, he must exercise prudence in decision making so as not to sacrifice the credit of Sub-Board I for any one faction. Provided all views are adequately presented, there should be no real conflict in serving in both capacities; since policy is set not by any one individual, but by a majority of the entire Board. Furthermore, I would say that it is more often than not that worthwhile projects benefit all students regardless of their division and that it is unrealistic to delineate and segregate for most issues. On the contrary. Sub-Board I should have as a main goal the development of a consciousness, in order to make it an effective, functioning unit. and TREASURER If elected I hope to be able to serve diligently and in a manner which will justify the trust placed in me by the student body.

Interest from the Amherst Land sale would most probably serve to provide for initial capital expenditures. With student services uppermost in mind, I would hope to move Sub-Board into a more mediary role in student government. This can be accomplished provided that Sub-Board acts as a truly representative body, through direct election of at least 50% of its membership. Structurally, the Board must act as a unit to be effective, which is possible so long as the various student Since undergraduates as a whole are the largest contributing body to Sub-Board, there is a — sports. for How would you resolve the inevitable conflicts between your role as an undergraduate representative to Sub-Board (which represents the entire student body), and as chief officer with financial responsibilities for a corporation?

In light of the above, I will institute the following: 1. Establishing a voluntary fee of $35. Sub 2. Subsidy to Sub Board eliminated Board's at well at the Publications' capabilities to be income offset has been adequately demonstrated. Sub Board can insure its functioning by instituting a voluntary membership fee of $5-$10 and interest revenue from sale of Amherst land. 3. S.A.

Reduction in scheduling and elimination of non-major varsity I'm sick of hearing about pressure from special interest groups. There is not one club, organization or whatever, that doesn’t put pressure on the treasurer for more money. Fact is, the Treasurer is merely a caretaker who must follow financial guidelines that are set up with the student's interests in mind. The problem comes down to whether or not you're able to work with people. All the bookkeeping and accounting experience in the world isn't worth a damn if you can't understand their position and explain what you can and cannot do for them. Special interest groups are just that, special. They have needs and priorities that other groups don't, and therefore require special attention. I guess the reason I place so much emphasis on dealing with people, stems from my work with Schussmeisters Ski Club Vnc. As treasurer of the corporation; I worked with the Business Manager as liaisons between our 2000 members and 5 major ski areas in W.N.Y. Our meetings with these community businessmen impresses upon me the importance of being a good P.R. person. I’m not saying that accounting and management skills are not important. Schussmeisters has one of the largest and most diversified cash flows among the student organizations. Without accurate bookkeeping, it would be impossible to plan and finance future endeavors of the club. By using my skills in management and person-person communication, I know that I can supply a strong basis for a smooth relationship between the treasurer and all groups, special or otherwise.

Include eny relevant experience which qualifies you for this position. During the past year, many crucial academic questions have come into focus with little responsible student input. The student voice has not been adequately heard in matters such as the Colleges, grading, and tenure decisions. It is time that we assemble together and deal with these dilemmas in a concrete manner. There has been little, if any, effective and reliable student input on departmental committees. This is predominantly where decisions on hiring faculty, tenure, and departmental policies are made. By strengthening academic clubs, we can provide responsible student input. This can be achieved by directly say that the Coordinator should ba one to give everything he can to build such a relationship in return for nothing but hopes that students have gained an inactive, but sympathetic and attentive ear. Bargaining power must be initiated for a trade in votes on key committees at the University level for departmental representation on Academic Affairs. Such a move may facilitate rapid compromises on heated issues with an assurance of student support. This is a much needed and attainable goal which I have seen through working with administration on many levels at Fredonia State. These include President's Cabinet, various faculty-student committees. Faculty Council, and Chairman of Operations and Procedures Committee which reviews all academic proposals going before the student assembly. Now, a few legislative goals, dependent primarily upon the level of success of the first which avoids probable hostile reception by those uninformed or uninvolved in their creation-: 1. Academic Bankruptcy an option for one semester from their — students to strike transcript. departmental organizations to handle student problems, provide input in departmental decisions, and serve as a potent, political base for a more representative Student Assembly. Academically, I do not believe respectability and accountability should be endorsed at the expense of innovation and creativity, in the and departments. Each year U.B becomes more of an academic factory, and I will emphasize to the departments, faculty, and advisors the importance of personal development as an aspect of undergraduate education. This year you need someone who knows the system and can provide credibility to the faculty and administration, and also to the students. Dorian Levine 2. Retainment of the four course system. 3.

Include any relevant experience which qualifies you for this position. As Student R ights Coordinator, i must initiate and carry out programs that protect and expand student rights. My plans to do so are divided into three levels. The first consists of services, i plan to institute a system of lockers placed in key building to minimize theft and inconvenience, i will continue to fight for a university traffic court, for greatly improved safety and security on the North Campus, and the non-arming of campus security. Public Information is the second level of concern. The SUNYAB student is generally unaware or misinformed of his rights. It is crucial that next year i work with legal organizations to inform students about their rights and the services available to them. I plan to organize a Student Research Group to increase the efficiency of the investigation and reporting of violations of student rights. The third level, underlying the above two deals with constitution safeguards. A code of rights legitimizing both contacting persons within these clubs and helping them solve the problems which are plaguing them and bring bade renewed student enthusiasm. Student-Faculty communication has been impaired this year. We hope to improve our relationship by placing effective, reliable students on Faculty-Senate committees and by revitalizing the University Assembly with competent, students. Students were not responsibly represented on such issues as grading and the Colleges. We feel that the Colleges must be adequately funded to ensure their survival against the stringent conditions set forth in the Reichert # broad concepts such as the right to higher education and specific pts. such as invasion of privacy in dormitories and the confidentiality of student records must be presented to the university. The possibilities of accomplishment are limited only by the extent of a coordinators report.

I feel I can be most helpful to students as Academic Affairs Coordinator. Mark Humm State your goals for the coming year and how you plan to achieve them. Include any relevant experience which qualifies you for this position. I have sufficient knowledge in academics on our campus to understand the situation. Also, my knowledge of government, politics, and Student Association more than qualify me to effectively represent students. In the past year I have been an active Assembly man, served on the Finance Committee and Athletic Review Board, and worked all summer on the Student Affairs fall orientation. Having studied politics and government and completely absorbing myself in S.A , I am most able in dealing with the problems of 205's bureaucracy, seeing the faults in our student government, and capable of correcting them. The two main points of my candidacy attempt to move away from the present elitist, autocratic student government to a rrloVe representative, yet effective, form. First, I pldh' tb Cfiair an active, ■ if elected, is the„■ improving of legal aid available to the student.

An evaluation of the present system will be undertaken with student, faculty, and staff input to determine problems and means of resolving them. Questions and confusion often arise over such matters as interpretation of grades, transcripts, and departmental requirements. We plan on publishing a booklet which will aid students by offering information, advice, and answers to from abuses by housing, food service, end other administrative bodies. Among my priorities, No statement submitted Carol Mahoney State your jyials for the coming year and how you plan to achieve them.

Just one possibility for improvement is to have legal advice provided to undergraduates by competent law students enrolled on a work-study basis. Other priorities include improving the services provided by the bookstore and by food service. It is obvious to most students that they are simply not getting their money’s worth. Another area of concern is campus parking. This problem can be alleviated by strictly enforcing the restriction against faculty members parking in student lots and by a fairer apportionment of parking lots between students and faculty members. As a former justice of the Inter-Residence Judiciary and the Student Judiciary, and a present justice of the Student-Wide Judiciary, I believe that I have the experience and dedication needed to bring about these as well as many other improvements. With the close interaction I have had through the past three years with campus security, housing, the courts and Legal Aid, the administration, and the various offices of the student government, I strongly feel that I am the most qualified person to fill the position of Student Rights Coordinator. Hilary Lowell State your goals for the coming year and how you plan to achieve them. Include any relevant experience which qualifies you for this position. Through my involvements, I have developed experience and expertise necessary to perform the duties of Student Rights the Coordinator As a freshman, I .was involved as dormitory representative and activities chairman. Since then, I’ve earned a directorship in the Student Legal Aid Clinic. Here, I have not only managed and planned an important service organization, but also served as a source of guidance for many students seeking legal redress. In addition, for the majority who eventually live off-campus. I've written and published a 60-page manual, the Buffalo Housing Book. My dedication to US’s students is best expressed by my position as Director of the UB The first and most important achievement of the Academic Affairs Coordinator should be to establish an open, two-way working relationship primarily those with faculty and administrators most related to and involved with the making of academic policy. To accomplish such a rapport is a time consuming, yet worthwhile task. Once the fine lines of communication are a reality, student input becomes recognized as a valuable, undisregartjable source for policy. This is not to Bail Fund. I’ve spent many nights in Buffalo's — deep involvement with the Student Assembly and the Caucus that has given me the necessary grasp on the realities of the position, and the sincerity of my commitment to students' rights qualifies me tor this coordinator position Larry Katz State your goals for the coming year and how you plan to achieve them. Include any relevant experience which qualifies you for this position. Since the formation of the Legal Aid Clinic, a question often asked is whether there is any longer a need for the office of Student Rights Coordinator. I strongly believe that this office is needed now more than ever. While Legal Aid can help with individual problems, it is only the Student Rights Coordinator who has the ability to safeguard the rights of the entire student body Police Stations, posting bail for UB students, thus keeping them out of jail. These activities have given me the vision necessary to become a successful Student Rights Coordinator. My proposals are as follows; 1. Strengthen, vitalize, and publicize the newly created Student-Wide Judiciary. With proper publicity, and by lending respect to the Monday, 25 February * \ - i v ifci- ’vr •; vc Spectrum Page fifteen The 1974 .*!i:j .iiittjL as-atji'U: t.til I yLlju'JX . . •»,! �decisions of this Court, we can resolve the personal conflicts and prominent issues facing the entire student body. 2.

Create a Student-Faculty Board to hear grievances against Campus Security. 6. Publicize the use of Academic Grievance . Procedures. 7. Build the Tenants' Union. These areas of concentration should not lead you astray from what I consider the most important function of the Student Rights Coordinator. That is, to be a ready and open source of aid for a student facing any sort of University related problem. knowledge to continue a job already in progress. I look forward to evaluating the needs of the transfer students an issue too long ignored on — this campus.

Finally, I believe that my experience gleaned as a member of the Student-Wide Judiciary and as a research assistant for a Buffalo lawyer, along with the time and willingness to work for effective student government qualifies me as a candidate for the National Affairs Coordinator. I Affairs Coordinator, I would represent all undergraduate students including dorm residents Many people, including myself, have worked to rewrite the IRC constitution, in an effort to increase its (IRC's) effectiveness and make it a more viable organization. I am determined to see this hope materialize. Coordinator I would explore the areas of interest and groups of students presently neglected.

The National Affairs Committee will be vital for the implementation of these programs, as will be a strengthened University Governance. Still, the office itself demands competence and experience. Interning in Washington has Christ Gaetanos campuses. I feel that my past work with Student Association, combined with my experience as Allenhurst Activities Chairman and I.R.C. representative give me the qualifications necessary to get the job done. More importantly, I hope to add the innovation needed to provide the students with their money's worth in services. Intramurals serve an important function as a source of exercise, co-educational activity and relaxed enjoyment in a congenial atmosphere. I have actively participated in many of the sports and can appreciate their importance. I would want to provide a strong environment for their successful continuation through strong recommendations to the President of the S.A. & SARB, more publicity and developing a good relationship with the Athletic Department. I would use my influence in a similar manner to initiate a greater interest in women's varsity and guidelines.

Student Affairs Committee hat served at that group which plans for fall orientation. In my opinion, this vital committee hat not only fallen short in providing a meaningful fall program, but has also failed in offering students any variety of activities and services during the remainder of the year. In regard to orientation, I am convinced that the fall programs do not reflect the special needs of transfers, commuters, and incoming freshmen. I will seek to establish separate programs geared to each of these groups. Furthermore, I would create a Student Transfer Council and Commuter Grievance Board to determine the needs of these neglected people, not only during orientation, an active and directly involved role in clubs, special interest groups and special activities. ■— It is necessary to strengthen our clubs and special interest groups to insure greater one of the least defined offices under the S.A. constitution. In the past, however, operation of the Summer and Fall Orientation Program was defined. At present, a report is being compiled evaluating last year's orientation. I will use this report as a stepping-stone in planning this year's orientation. I plan to organize a comprehensive document, consisting of the various services offered by this University. Far too many are not aware of available services. This year, the jurisdiction of the Student Affairs Coordinator expanded to include the Amherst Campus. During the past year I've held the office of North Campus Coordinator. Important progress has been made in identifying association and the National Student Lobby, all of which are engaged in providing input of a student viewpoint into decision-making bodies, including and especially legislative bodies. The delegates to these groups are student who determine the particular direction which these associations assume. It is my desire tto keep in personal contact with these representatives, representatives and with'the students so that the particular direction is in part determined by this campus' students. Also, I intend to publicize, through the use of campus publications and personal contact, the programs and progress of these groups, to elicit awareness and reaction. I have two specific proposals: 1. The creation of a regional student credit bureau which will allow members of this University community to borrow at lower interest rates and invest at higher interest rates than are presently offered at banks; 2. The reinstitution on this campus of an Emergency Loan Program, whereby any student can obtain a small loan on short notice to cover emergency expenditures.

Qualified by my former positions of president and treasurer of the B.C.C. Players in Binghamton and my past participation as assistant director of Panic Theater, my primary concern is the reviewing and reviving of club activities. I find that many clubs are redundant in their purposes and are wasting the student's money.

In effect, the University wants us to be neither seen or heard. It elected, I am going to change all this. After I'm done, the Minority Affairs office will be respected and listened to. In order to accomplish this, I plan the following: 1. To centrally coordinate all minority affairs events. This will enhance the cohesion of the clubs. 2.

Only 23 fouls were called, fourteen on Buffalo, and the Bulls turned over the ball eleven times to just nine miscues for the Red Flash. The key to the game was St. Francis’ shooting in the second half, dropping in ten layups en route to a 16 for 27 shooting spree, a sizzling 59.3%. Each team threw the ball up 66 times, Buffalo hitting 29 (43.9%), theFrankies 32 (48.5%). LORETTO, PA. — Horne spectacular The loss for the Bulls, their thirteenth in as many road contests, overshadowed the spectular shooting exhibitions by Buffalo’s Otis Horne. Home hit twelve of his eighteen field goal attempts, including seven in a row after his first shot of the game. The junior forward’s 25 points captured game honors, while former Niagara CC All-American Rick Hockenos tallied eighteen to lead St. Francis. The Bulls led by freshman Mike Jones’ ten rebounds, took a slim 39—37 advantage on the boards. Buffalo was hurt particularly by a lack of consistent outside shooting. “Gary [Domzalski], our best shooter, couldn’t hit from outside. Horace [Brawley] couldn’t hit outside. Kenny Pope, who tore Niagara’s zomc apart with his outside shooting, couldn’t hit them,” Case added. Domzalski, shooting 49% on the season, tallied on only two of nine floor attempts, while Brawley hit just six of fifteen, with most ofhis baskets on inside shots. Dickinson disappointing. Particularly disappointing was junior forward Bob Dickinson. Dickinson managed to hit on only three of eight shots and played defense as though his mind was elsewhere.

D.M.RECH PAINT CO. 3209 Bailey Ave Weekend split dims playoffs chances for hockey Btills by Dave Geringer Sports Editor After playing perhaps their finest hockey of the season in an 11—2 victory over Oswego Friday night, the hockey Bulls were defeated Saturday afternoon by the same squad, 5—2. The split left Buffalo’s playoff chances hanging, where a sweep would probably have assured the Bulls a berth in the ECAC’s postseason tournament. Saturday Buffalo was outshot by Oswego, 41-24, after outshooting the Lakers by 49-43 in Friday night’s contest. The Bulls’ top line of John Stranges, Tom Schratz and Mike Klym was held to seven shots on goal in the Lakers victory, while Klym himself had ten shots on goal Friday. “They shut out Johnny’s line, plus Rick’s line wasn’t getting the [Wolstenholme] opportunities today,’’ noted Buffalo coach Ed Wright. “We didn’t shoot the puck enough. We just didn’t get the shots that we got last [Friday] night,” Wright added. While the Bulls’ shooting totals dipped in the second game, Oswego nearly doubled their totals in each succeeding period. The Lakers took six shots at Bull goaltender John Moore in the opening stanza, 12 in the middle period and 23 in the finale, outshooting Buffalo in the third period 23—5. “For a team that’s not going anywhere, they [Oswego] came back and played inspired hockey,” assessed Wright. “They’ve got a lot of pride.” The Lakers checking game “held” the Buffalo forwards in check, with the line of Blair Scharfe, Ron Gabrielli and Jim Busch (brother of Buffalo’s Bill Busch) matched against Stranges’ trio. Oswego’s tactics were aided by the relatively few penalties called by officials Ray Jeanette and Fred Wood. Jeanette and Wood whistled so few infractions in the first two periods that they seemed to be absent. The Bulls broke open a 3-2 contest Friday night with a five-goal second period that gave Buffalo an 8—2 lead after two stanzas. Klym and Mike Dixon scored twice in a span of 1:06 to balloon a 3—2 lead to 5—2, and two goals by Andre Rririer while Rod Burns was sitting out a five-minute major penalty left the Lakers for dead. Playoffs The Bulls must now awaity the verdict of the ECAC Playoffs Tournament Committee in order to determine whether or not they wiH begin playoff action this Saturday night. The committee, which include Boston State’s Gus Sullivan, Merrimack’s Tom Lawler, Amherst’s Ben McCabe and Buffalo’s Harry Fritz, met yesterday in Boston. The tournament will begin this Saturday, with the semi-final and final rounds to take place March 6 and 9. In all cases, the higher seeded squads will have the home ice advantage.

FOR SALE Streaking Dolphins dunk baby cagers by Paige Miller Spectrum Staff Writer When your opponents shoot better from the floor than you do from the freethrow line, the result is inevitable you’re going to lose. That’s what happened to the — junior varsity basketball Bulls as they were easily defeated by LeMoyne, 120-93 in the game played at Clark Hall Wednesday evening. The win raises the Dolphins’ record to 15-1 and extends their winning streak to six games. The Baby Bulls are 4-12 for the season. LeMoyne shot 61% from the floor, compared to Buffalo’s 57% freethrow shooting, with many easy baskets coming on their fast break. The Baby Bulls aided their opponents by committing 26 turnovers, and time after time, the Dolphins beat Buffalo’s defenders down the court. When they weren’t running, guard Dave Zalewski and forward Jeff MacCubbin had the hot hand from the outside, while center Jim Fletcher was devastating inside. Fletcher shot 12-for-15, while pulling down 15 rebounds and blocking nine shots. Dolphin coach Frank Satalin commented. has good timing, but such he doesn’t commit any fouls.” Season high Despite the overwhelming defeat, Buffalo did achieve some season highs, with only one on the negative side. The 120 points allowed was the most allowed by the Baby Bulls this year. In contrast, both teams achieved their season’s high offensively. The Baby Bulls also recorded their season’s high in field goal percentage (49%) and field goals scored (40). Buffalo received a fine performance from forward John Ruffino, the team’s leading scorer this year. Ruffino, shooting 15-for-22, scored 34 points while becoming the first Bull to reach 30 points in a game this year. In the past, Ruffino had been mainly an outside shooter, but against the Dolphins he scored on many driving shots and tipped in several rebounds. Guard Dave Ridell set a junior varsity record by passing off for twelve assists, breaking a record set earlier in the season by teammate Gene Henderson.

According to an informal survey of student opinion by the SA, most are dissatisfied with Food by Richard Kerman Spectrum Staff Writer “How can you justify making $70,000 while I leave the cafeteria hungry?” That is {he question less-than-satiated contract students should ask Food Service or the Faculty Student Association (FSA) next time they come away from a meal still hungry, suggested Student Association (SA) Student Rights Coordinator Cliff Palefsky and Executive vice-president Dave Saleh. in a statement to contractees, Messrs. Palefsky and Saleh declared: “Food Service Vending division of FSA was budgeted to make upwards of $70,000 this year. For the first time in many years they expect to fulfill their budgetary expectations. Also for the first time in many years, Food Service is not offering any form of seconds, and students are leaving the cafeteria hungry.” Possible lawsuit “This situation is intolerable and must be remedied,” the letter continued. “We will do everything in our power to correct this situation, including nothing short of a possible law suit and certainly to include calling the situation to the attention of the city-wide media.” Mr. Palefsky said that a lawyer has already been contacted, and that in his opinion there were ample grounds for a law suit. “If we do not get satisfaction in a week, we will take legal action,” Mr. Palefsky declared. He thought it possible that legal action might be based on the contract stipulation that Food Service provide “meals.” “We arc providing three meals with all standard nutritional requirements,” asserted director of Food and Vending Services Raymond Becker. “If students leave the cafeteria hungry, it’s because they are not taking everything they can. The menus are not exactly alot,” he explained, but are adequate for a majority of students, he added. The SA statement recommends that students “familiarize themselves with current portions policy and be sure to take as much food as you would like the first time through the line.” Numerous complaints Actions taken this week are part of a Student Association investigation of Food and Vending Services, stemming from numerous complaints of poor service. A number of students have cited instances of having to eat cold food at the North Campus or having to.fill themselves up with bread or jello. 556 dorm residents who were on board in the fall discontinued their board contracts this Service. Mr. Becker believed many students drop board contracts due to the lower costs of cooking for oneself, and cited others who never intended to continue their contracts beyond the one-semester option. In recent weeks, Messrs. Palefsky, Saleh and Becker, along with SA President Jon Dandes and FSA Chief Accountant Leonard Snyder, have met several times to discuss student dissatisfaction with Food Service and related problems. A main contention of the SA statement is a request for the re-establishment of the seconds tables on an experimental basis. “We have requested that Food Service begin a seconds table offering leftovers from previous nights as they have traditionally done in the past, contingent on the students not abusing the policy. They have refused,” the statement said. Theft feared “Food Service,” it continued, “contends that a major reason they do not offer seconds is that they cannot stop the students from remvoing food from the cafeteria to feed their friends who are off board. This problem, they claim, is particularly acute at the Amherst Campus because there is uncontrolled access to the cafeteria area.” The statement warns that students taking food out to non-contract friends “are indirectly taking the food from their and your mouths, in that Food Service will not serve seconds. The major complaint is not with how much food is leaving the area now, but rather with how much food will leave if they do offer seconds.” The emphasis given to Food Service’s inability to prevent students from removing food is “incorrect and misleading,” according to Mr. Snyder. Both Mr. Snyder and Mr. Becker contend that the possiblereinstatement of a seconds table would depend solely on its fiscal feasability. Financial statements for January will be ready this week, and those for February by March 15, according to Mr. Becker. “Our seconds policy is strictly related to budget. If we could see our way clear, seconds could be reinstated as a ‘fringe benefit.’ If the picture is favorable, seconds will be automatically reinstated.” Mr. Becker pointed out that Food Service operations must be consistent with the budgeted net income given by the Board of Directors and administration. He explained that illegal food removal, stolen plates and silverware, and the “vicious spiral” of food costs have kept profits down. fcubwwawt The cost of milk, he said, is up 25% from last year. Mr. Snyder also stated that when policy was formulated this summer, it was decided to “keep contract prices low, and shoot for a high volume of students.” This University has the least expensive meal plans in the State University of New York system, and is the only University center without some type of mandatory board requirement. The price is fixed, and only the menu can be changed to compensate, Mr. Snyder said. “We anticipate a loss this semester that will be offset by last semester’s gains,” he said. Food and Vending Services are budgeted for a projected net annual income of about $79,000. Mr. Snyder maintained: “I’m going to operate on the budget passed this summer. It is critical that we meet our projected net income. We have previously been operating at a loss, but we must be able to grow in order to provide this University with the kind of service it requires.” — “We can only do so much until there are more dollars to work with. What we need are positive, helpful suggestions,” Mr. Becker concluded. for Food Service Prospective law studentsface some hard times Editor's note: This is the first of a two-part series on getting into law school and the admissions process. Part One details the general admission situation and describes life in law school. Part Two takes the potential pre-law student step-by-step through the admissions process. by Jeff Deasy Staff Writer Spectrum If you’re considering law school after graduation and, like most people, lack strong contacts, then you should know exactly what the admissions picture involves First, of course, there is the intense competition to get into law school. Unless an applicant’s grade point average (GPA) is 3.0 or better and his law board scores (LSAT) are at least 600, his chances of being accepted to law school are doubtful. If one applies to one of the nationally prestigious schools (Harvard, Yale, Stanford, etc.), he will need above a 3.5 GPA and board scores in the high 600’s or 700’s, according to Jerome Fink, Pre-law advisor at this University. The difficulty of one’s undergraduate work is not considered when his average is reviewed by an admission committee, he added. For instance, one woman who majored in Pharmacy earned a 3.0 GPA and a 620 on her law boards, and was subsequently rejected by the State University and Georgetown law schools. in law school is very limited. Studying averages between 5 to 8 hours per day, seven days a week. Students can conceivably be required to learn 80 cases per night. A graduate of Boston University law school explained; “Law school can be very degrading . . . one must be fairly self-confident before entering his first year, or he or she will be destroyed.” study of Buffalo The numbers racket Furthermore, high GPA or law boards alone will not be enough to gain entrance to a top law school. For instance, one student who scored a 756 on the law boards but who had only a 3.28 GPA was rejected by Michigan, Chicago, Stanford, Columbia, Pennsylvania, and Harvard. Another Psychology student who achieved a 4.0 average in her major but had an 3.67 GPA overall and a 644 on her law boards was rejected by Harvard, Yale Abrupt change — — and Berkeley. Another factor, to consider is the financial side of attending law school. Most law schools charge between $10 and $25 merely to process an application. Although the average cost of applying runs about $200, it can soar as high as $700. Three years of law education costs between $12,000 and $18,000. A student should not expect to work even part-time during his first year in law school, since he will be studying 40 to 50 hours per week, Dr. Fink said. No social life Law schools are reluctant to give financial aid to first-year law students. Most entering law students are unaware of the rigors of law school life. As one Jerome Fink State University of Buffalo law student explained: “The catalogues do not inform the prospective law student that his social life is likely to dissipate to nothing during the first year.” The Socratic method (or, as law students say, the sarcastic method) of straightforward lecturing is standard teaching style for law schools. Clinical Many feel law school requires more work and sacrifice than a full-time job. After four years of undergraduate study a student may not be entirely prepared to handle the tightly-structured, rigorous law school system. “Nothing can really prepare you for the shock of your first term at law school,” said one student. One graduate of this University, now attending Boston University law school, wrote to Dr. Fink: “If a law student doesn’t graduate in the top 40 per cent of his class, he is not assured of any kind of legal work.’ Furthermore, there is no way of knowing what the job market will be like in a few years. The job market today is flooded with an over-abundance of lawyers, according to various State University of Buffalo law students. If you have any questions concerning law schools and admissions, contact Dr. Fink at 4230 Ridge Lea, Room C-l, or call 831-1672. �Pilot 100 As seenfrom the police side by Joseph P. Esposito Spectrum Staff Writer “See and get to know these men in their work environment” reads the announcement of the Pilot 100 program. The Pilot 100 program is designed to enable University students to ride with Buffalo city police officers in order to Improve relations between the two groups. The Pilot 100 program was developed following the 1970 student disturbances when student-police relations were quite hostile. At that time, Marine Midland Bank-Western was concerned about the strained relationship and some of its officers, James Dillon of the Trust Department and John Hettrick, then President of Marine Midland, felt they could help alleviate the situation. Because the bank was already working in conjunction with the University School of Management on several projects, Marine Midland decided to offer its help in organizing a possible student-police relations program. Marine Midland provided a place at the bank for meetings between the police and representatives from the School of Management, including Richard Brandenburg, currently Dean of the School, and Assistant Dean as several students. Sanford Lottor, as Community participation The idea for Pilot 100 was conceived by James Wenzel, then an undergraduate Management student and now with Marine Midland. The School of Management still oversees the program. The name Pilot 100 came from the fact that it began as a pilot program and was planned to involve 100 students. However, more than 100 students have participated in the program. In 1971-1972, for example, 575 students rode with the police. During the last half of the Fall 1973 semester, over 130 members of the University community took part in Pilot 100. Sue Cohen, a student in the Urban Studies program and currently this school’s sub-coordinator for Pilot 100, said approximately six to eight University students travel with the police each week. Frequently, an entire class will participate at the request of the professor. Participation tends to be lowest at the beginning and end of each semester, and during midterms. Riders screened While Pilot 100 was initiated at this University and has continued here uninterrupted, a number of other schools, including ECC, Buffalo State, Rosary Hill, and Canisius, have also participated. Presently, SUNYAB’s program Operates with the Buffalo city police, though in past years the Amherst Police Department and University Campus Security also participated. Campus Security is now operating a similar program in conjunction with the Student Association’s Student Rights Coordinator. - By calling the Pilot 100 number, the prospective rider and the student coordinator will arrange a precinct, date, and time for the rider. The rider must go to the precinct station house to meet the policemen with whom he or she will be riding. The rider may go out for either a whole shift or part of a shift. Men are allowed to ride with the police 7 days a week, 24 hours a day. Women, who must be accompanied, may ride 7 days a week, but may not ride on the midnight shift. No dungarees Pilot 100 policies prohibit the rider from wearing blue jeans, and also prohibit cameras and recording equipment. Furthermore, students and prisoners are generally not allowed in the same car, and there is a maximum of two students per patrol car. Of course, this may require that two units respond to a call which might otherwise need only one. Has Pilot 100 succeeded in easing tensions between students and police, in replacing hostility with understanding and communication* Those who are involved in the program feel it has been very successful. Dean Lottor believes Pilot 100 “has done a great deal of good” and “has eased a lot of tensions,” especially in the crucial first year of its existence. Mr. Eagan sees Pilot 100 as having “given the police good public relations.” As Lottor says, “The police and students found each other were humans.” Though some of the initial skepticism remains, there has been great cooperation between students and police. For example, University students have helped police who are taking courses here. Ms. Cohen related an incident during one Pilot 100 ride in which the student riders virtually saved an officer’s life by radioing in for assistance. Mixed reaction The reaction of student riders has been varied, but generally students are quite pleased and many go on repeat trips. The reaction of the police officers is likewise mixed. Some are stand-offish, still refer to the 1970 riots, and feel that driving students in Pilot 100 is not part of their duty. Many officers, though, are very pleased with the program and are quite willing to have student riders. What is the future of Pilot 100" According to Dean Lottor, Buffalo Police Commissioner Thomas Blair, active from the beginning in Pilot 100 and instrumental in its creation, is very enthusiastic about the program and has been quite cooperative with the school coordinators. Dean Lottor feels that it “has served its purpose,” but that it should continue if there is interest among students and police. Eagan feels the program may be undergoing a revitalization, as evidenced by the fact that seniors in the crinimal law course at the University Law School are encouraged to participate in Pilot 100 to get a first hand view of law enforcement. IRC is restructured for Ellicott opening student activities in the new Ellicott Complex. The task force’s suggestion for a stricter admission policy to IRC-sponsored events was also advocated. Upon entrance to IRC non-member events, dorm-students and off-campus residents will be charged a separate fee. Thus, in order to take advantage of free admission to IRC activities, dorm students must join IRC. consists of the Governors and Ellicott Area Council presidents, the Housing office area ca-o'rdinators, the Student-Association North Campus co-ordinator, the Norton Union activities board, one representative from each of the Colleges, and other personnel. The IRC Executive Committee will consist of four elected officiers: President, Vice President for Activities Planning, Executive Vice President, and Treasurer. Included among the duties of the Executive Vice President will be the chairing of the IRCB Board. Business policy will therefore be set by elected representatives, but management duties will still be management carried out by students. To firmly establish IRC and organize activities, the IRC president will be required to remain in Buffalo during the summer months. Three appointed area “co-ordinators” will serve as organizers during the summer and the firs? few weeks in the fall before an Area Council has been elected. In September, IRC officers and representatives will staff three full-time IRC offices. Tastier policy Balanced interests by Dene Bergman Spectrum Staff Writer Basic recommendations for the of the Inter-Residence Council (IRC) and IRC Businesses, Inc. (IRCB) were approved last week. These recommendations were embodied within the preliminary reports of the IRC and IRCB evaluation and expansion task forces, which had been meeting for two weeks and gleaning “input" from faculty, students, and administrators. Specifically, IRC voted to ask President Ketter to give the University Bursar permission to collect IRC’s $20 membership fee. This would allow President Ketter restructuring to> actively support vitally-needed Additionally, report concerning Food was given by Cliff Palefsky, chairman of the task force Food Service Committee. To increase sudent “input” into one policy, Food Service executive committee member will represent the dorm students on the Faculty-Student Association (FSA). Lists of complaints and possible suggestions for improvement were related to FSA at its meeting last Wednesday. Revision of IRC structure was confirmed. Area Councils will replace individual House Councils, covering three areas for activities A planning: the Main will set corporate guidelines and oversee the IRCB Comptroller, the North and South Campus Managers, and staff. Throughout the meeting, the operations of IRC from other was stressed. -Greater student interest and active participation is vitally needed to expand IRC into a service and activities organization for dorm students on three autonomy campus Campus dorms. Governors Residence, and the Ellicott Complex. Each Area Council will contain its own executive board and will initiate its own activities.

Jeff Linder Spectrum recommended the use of written answers rather than Staff Writer strictly computer scanning questionnaires, so students can be more specific in their criticism. Dr. McConnell would like to see students making overall judgments about their education, by articulating reasons “why a professor is not performing well enough.” By writing their criticisms in longhand, students can make specific suggestions for improvement. Dr. McConnell explained. Further questions being pondered by Dr. McConnell are: “Do students really know what good education is? Do they take these questions seriously? What is effective At this point in the semester, every faculty member should have received his “gray folder” from the Office of Teaching Effectiveness. The folder contains the results of the Analysis of Courses and Teaching survey (ACT), which students filled out at the end of last semester. The ACT uses a single sheet of “succinct” questions, judge printed on computer scannhfg paper. Students on a scale demanding instructor is or their whether lenient s' from one to ten. student evaluation program In 1971, when went into effect, the Teaching Effectiveness Survey (TES), as it was called, consisted Of a four-page questionaire. Unlike the TES, the ACT surveys enable individual professors to compare their class’s results with a University-wide calibrated mean score. Using the surveys, the professor can compare his course to similar courses in clearly-delineated categories. The categories include class of class-seminar, lecture, level, enrollment, laboratory. Thus, under the new recitation or discussion, ACT format, a professor with a lecture of 100 will not be comparing his class to a seminar of ten. teaching?” th«/first Written comments There are weaknesses in a written questionnaire, Dr. Francis conceded. He felt it was possible to write something on the back of the computer sheet or to have a tear-off portion of the form, but this would be costly, he explained. It would also be difficult to uniformly compare performance with written comments, Dr. Francis noted. He suggested scoring positive and negative comments if it could be determined which comments were positive or negative. Dr. Francis also speculated that written questions might be more workable in graduate division courses tor Chance to improve If it is obvious from the results that the professor is not getting through to his students, he has the opportunity to improve, explained Bruce Francis, director of the Survey Research Center. For example, if a professor finds that a large percentage of his class thinks his leniency has reduced learning, he may adjust his approach in the classroom. “Resources” for improving teaching exist but remain underdeveloped, explained Allen Kuntz, chairman of the Task Force on Teaching Effectiveness. He is exploring the possibility of a “multi-media teaching-for-professors . project.” Also foreseen is a seminar program led by faculty presently recognized for ‘their teaching ability, namely professors who have earned distinguished Teaching Professorships and State University Chancellor’s Awards seminars. Written evaluations have proved effective at other universities. The Harvard Crimson publishes a “Confidential Guide to Courses and Teachers” which sells for $ 1. The “Confy Guide,” explained Jeff Leonard of The Crimson, has a very large circulation among both students and teachers. The questions for the guide are written and open-ended. A student from the department of the critiqued course reviews the written comments and edits them into a few paragraphs for publication in the guide. Questioned whether students take the evaluation of teachers seriously, Alan Fenster of the Office of Student Testing and Research said alumni evaluations of former professors correlated highly with those of students presently taking the courses. • While the goals of ACT are “good,” Dr. McConnell s sub-committee is carefully evaluating the project by investigating important questions about the nature of ACT. Attempting to evaluate ACT’s measuring device, Dr. McConnell has been asking: “What do the questions do and where do they lead? Should the present questioning ... t Plant Clinic or Organizations* for I have been modified by his project. In 1971 the Faculty-Senate mandated a two-year trial period for the TES. However, that form was too extensive and the interval between completion of the questionnaires and distribution of the results was too long, Mr Fenster explained. Problems minimized Mainly becuase of staff experience and the Task Force on Teaclfing Effectiveness, these problems have been minimized. The revised ACT format is not as lengthy as the TES and the results are more “succinct” and coordinated. Many TES questions have been rewritten so that they are relevant to a greater number of departments, said Mr. Fenster. ACT is continuing to grow and develop. Dr. Francis noted that, other state schools have shown interest in ACT, including Gencsco, Brockport, Frcdonia, and Alfred. The Teaching incentives project will inevitably receive changes after Dr. The ACT hopes to encourage higher-quality teaching outstanding McConnell’s sub-committee report to the Faculty-Senate who receive to professors by offering awards in mid-March, but the changes hopefully will reinforce evaluations. Dr. McConnell mentioned possible incentives legitimacy and usefulness.

The following are excerpts from that interview which deal with the Colleges more excerpts will be published in future issues. residential situation. The question was not should we go in Direction A or should we go in Direction B, but in what direction can we go just to stay alive? They became a free-flow, interdisciplinary program format not by design, but by default. - - The Spectrum: Why were the Colleges originally created? Dr. Ketter: There needed to be developed within the University a counterpoise to the strong departmental framework this University had evolved in in fact, that education in general had developed over the country. There needed to be developed something where groups of faculty members and students could get together and study problem situations with a whole series of types of things. We (originally) had a College ofWar and Peace, College of Environmental Design I think one was called Social Problem-Solving; we gave them a whole host of names. They should focus on a problem; they should be interdisciplinary in character; they should probably have both a residential and an academic component. The initial idea was that about 40% of those associated with the Colleges would be in residence and 60% would be commuters. But a key feature was that everybody in a College should have a piece of physical turf that he could call his own. Whether it be a bed, whether it be a locker, whether it be a pad, whether it be anything: Physically, there would be something there that you could say, This is mine and 1 know I can count on it.’ The Colleges at that time were tied lock, stock and barrel to a Master. The idea of a Master was very critical: You would not form a College unless you had a Master who was committed to the idea. They (the Masters) were all faculty members at that time; I don’t thinjc the question even came up. It was presumed; (t was never really discussed. The Stern Prospectus (which created the Colleges) was not the original prospectus on the floor of the Senate, but was. a counter-proposal to one that was on the floor. The Spectrum: What about faculty involvement in the Colleges? Dr. Ketter: It was assumed that faculty abolish them — even though they’d never approved them. The Spectrum: Where is the incentive if faculty feel any effort in the Colleges will not be recognized and will probably only hurt their chances for promotion? Dr. Ketter: It’s a real fear on the part of faculty members, and as jobs get tight, it becomes an even greater fear. There has to The Spectrum: Will the new Colleges that emerge from the Reichert Prospectus be substantially different from those that now exist? Dr. Ketter: There will be a honeymoon period for those that get through, where there will be less scrutiny for awhile. They will be given the opportunity I’m just I would guessing now, it’s speculation suspect there’s going to be a tendency on the part of the faculty to sit back and say: Well, let’s give them a chance. And that chance, within the University framework, usually means about a two-year period when people will say: Let’s pull back and give them a chance and see whether they can do something. ... — — - The Spectrum: What do you see as the flaws in the Colleges, where they have differed from what you thought they might be? Dr. Ketter: We originally started out with the idea that every student in the University, for one reason or another, would wish to be associated with a College in some fashion. And I think that is a basic flaw I don’t think that particular type of experience is suitable for all students. As we started planning, we originally thought about having 30 Colleges, in fact we planned physically 30 separate Colleges for the Amherst Campus. Then we started to look at the interest being displayed (and We thought) maybe if we had 12 or 15, that could be the maximum number we could really sustain. The residential and intellectual experience need not be restricted to book-learning; it could just as well be cultural. We did at one time say a major College or a major series of Colleges might identify with a cultural type of format, as well as an intellectual format, 1 don’t wish to separate the two. One could very well find the performing arts (as a College)... a residential performing arts-type situation that would be really viable. The Spectrum: And then the controversy starts all over again? Dr. Ketter; Yes. Well, no, there could be at that stage (those who) say, hey, this really made sense, now let’s take off all restrictions. I don’t see that the Colleges and in this 1 probably differ from some -1 do not see the Colleges, as Reichert sees them, stopping at this point and a new thing starting. I do not see that. What I see is that there was a particular proposal for something here in 1966, we went through a particular trial period. We did a certain number of things which made sense and a certain number of things which did not make sense. We are now at the next stage of evolution that two years from now will evolve into something different it’s a continuous evolution. But the University must have a counterpoise to the strong push that departments give you. — — - major — The Spectrum: Were the Colleges an attempt to bring residential students together with commuting students? Dr. Ketter: Yes. And an attempt to bring an environment other than the classroom into the learning situation. We put a lot of emphasis on the residential situations, but they (the Colleges) changed completely because there was no they did exist were getting on the close edge ofilosing a fair amount of support from the faculty. Any time you get that, the faculty, without exception, move too far in the other direction. And there will then be a swing back. It does not surprise me to see the (Reichert) document come forward, and it really doesn’t bother me, because these things are tempered immediately once they get into operation.' would be significantly involved in the Colleges. That was presumed from the outset, and 1 remember in picking people to become Masters, one of the conditions (former University President Martin) Meyerson specified was that they had to have been Masters or the equivalent at some other institution prior to coming here. He did not want any novice getting into this. be provided the necessity for departments to take into account this kind of work (in the Colleges). And if departments won’t take it into account, there has to be an option for the information to get in at the next higher level, the provostial level. That’s what we’re working on now; to try to force mechanisms whereby a person’s experience will in fact come forward and be weighed. The Spectrum: Faculty involvement in the Colleges has significantly declined since then. What are the reasons for this? The Spectrum: Was any thought ever given to released time or merit raises for faculty who taught in the Colleges? Dr. Ketter: You have to understand that at the time the Colleges were formed, the Dr. Ketter: There are a combination of reasons. One and the one that faculty most often look at when they look forward to promotion, tenure and so forth is that there has not evolved within the University a conscious method whereby the efforts an individual puts forth in the Colleges can be brought to bear on the examination within a department for promotion. — — The Colleges, right from the outset, were defined to be non-degree-granting entities and never received approval from anyone in State University or Department of Education to grant credit. The Colleges have never been blessed by the Board of Trustees; and in fact, in 1970 there was almost an action by the Board of Trustees on recommendation by the Chancellor to The Spectrum: The Reichert Prospectus calls on the Administration to make a financial commitment to the Colleges. Is your Administration willing to make that commitment? Dr. Ketter: The Colleges are no different than departments. I have to see exactly the same thing for departments: a plan for the next 3, 4, 5 years that says: This is what we need, and as we get resources, we will start to put them in a very conscious fashion. The Spectrum: Do you see the Colleges getting more money in the next few years than they have in the past few years? Dr. Ketter: Yes. The Spectrum: Do you see released time in the Colleges being worked out? Dr. Ketter; I see that happening. for faculty teaching The Spectrum: It seems unconventional courses constantly come under attack for their "legitimacy." Are these University was in the greatest stage of attacks justified? Dr. Kettcr: In some areas, they’re expansion you could imagine. There were 270-some faculty added in one year. (With absolutely justified. The real problem with this many faculty) you don’t have to ask the Colleges and experimental education is the question, ‘Do 1 need released time?’ that to be valid, ypu have to define: What The real question was, Can you find things is the experiment you wish to carry out? for people to do when you’re adding that And after you get through, you have to many at one time? The question was every assess: Was it a success? Was it not a faculty member finding his niche, and success? What did you learn from it? To performing in his niche.

The Spectrum: Do you think there can Well, I’m pregnant, and that’s a learning be a basic balance between experience. And there is no question, that experimentation and academic legitimacy, is a learning experience. You learn and if so, does the Reichert Prospectus go something new every day. Yet it’s not too far toward legitimacy? necessarily an appropriate thing for which Dr. Ketter: 1 would say the Colleges as you should give credit in a University. College Friday, 22 February 1974 The Spectrum Page five . . �JL Small portions, large profits It is typical of Food Serivce's performance over the years that Student Association is now considering suing it for failing in its contractual obligation to provide "meals." The low quality of dorm food its blandness and lack of variety, not to mention has driven thousands of small portions dorm students from cafeteria fare to the hassles of a hot plate and TV dinners in a crowded dorm lounge. The situation is not new. In 1971, 300 first-semester board students dropped their contracts by the second semester. This year, 556 dissatisfied eaters failed to renew their contracts for the spring term. This cannot merely represent a group of picky eaters; the consistently large number of unsatisfied customers points the finger directly at Food Service. No ordinary organization could perform so poorly and stay in business. Most intolerable, however, is Food Service's abolition of the popular seconds table, which was long a saving grace for those still hungry after disposing of the feeble main portion. As the seconds table served previous days' leftovers, its cost was marginal. A little imagination can surely solve the problem of board students sneaking seconds to their friends. But to blame the lack of seconds on when Food Service-Vending its budget is both expects a $78,000 profit this year insulting and cruelly unfair to the students who depend on them for meals. SA Student Rights coordinator Cliff Palefsky and vice-president Dave Saleh are to be commended for their much-needed investigation into Food Service's shortcomings. Food Service is part of the Faculty-Student Association (FSA) which, despite its name, is controlled by the Administration; this may in part explain its repeated insensitivity to student needs and lip-service dismissal of legitimate complaints. Years of student complaints, cancelled contracts and even boycotts have failed to visibly improve the quality of Food Service. FSA must direct Food Service to accept a smaller profit. If Food Service were to suffer the hardship of a $68,000 profit instead of $78,000, they might begin to meet their responsibility of providing students with enough to eat. Food Service, for its part, must reinstate the seconds table, beef up the size of the main portions, and become more responive to student complaints. Unless these steps are immediately taken, SA should take including a lawsuit if necessary firm action to satisfy the board contract students who are now leaving the cafeteria hungry. — - — — — — relations with President Ketter, SA needs a student spokesman who will more often confront the Administration on important issues. On academics, Mr. Dandes was sucked in by the Reichert Prospectus, and failed to take strong stands on die four-course load. Colleges, grading, etc. He allowed a free hand to his Academic Affairs coordinator. Bob Kole an incompetent, inefficient excuse for a coordinator who blindly supported the Reichert Prospectus, missed many important meetings and took regressive stands on the Colleges, plus-minus grading and other academic issues. Mr. Kole failed to represent students, often advocating his personal opinion instead of those of the student body. Voters should be looking for strong academic leadership from candidates who will actively gauge student priorities and fight for them. Sub-Board vice-pr'esident Jennifer Washburn also did students a disservice by playing bureaucratic power games and meddling in the internal affairs of Sub-Board's various organizations. Treasurer Kenny Unker, however, succeeded in eliminating any deficit from the SA books for the first time in years, and was able to develop an unprecendented working relationship with minority groups. Paul Kade was invisible at National Affairs; Judy Kravitz did an excellent job of running orientation and activities; and David Sancho devoted his energies to solving the problems of foreign students. Vice-president Dave Saleh instituted election reforms and successfully fought to revamp orientation, but was hampered all year by leading an extremely ineffective Student Assembly. Student Rights coordinator Cliff Palefsky was the most activist of the lot, with his investigations into the Bookstore and Food Service, development of good relations with Campus Security, and institution of the bike lot, undergraduate grievance procedure and — Student-Wide Judiciary. While the criteria for each SA position is different, the candidates should show a willingness to deal aggressively with the Administration, which after all holds all the power on this campus and often threatens to reduce student government to insignificance. Revamping the impotent Student Assembly into a solid legislative body should be a priority, as should an awareness of housing problems, financial aid snafus, community and state issues which affect students, and more activities for the Amherst Campus. In the budget are, voters should look for a $25,000 commitment to enable WNYPIRG to become a viable consumer organization by joining its statewide parent group, NYPIRG. Generous budget allocations should be pledged to CAC, the struggling UB Day Care Center, and intramurals, recreational and women's sports.

For a university to eliminate the physical education requirement is to turn its back upon the scientific evidence which has accumulated in the past 25 years concerning the importance of exercise to the health and well-being of our people. Likewise, it ignores the importance for university students now and in the future to be prepared to use their leisure in constructive and wholesome ways. It is for these reasons that the AMA has so vigorously supported physical education requirements in colleges and univerisities. The evidence for the need is so overwhelming that SUNY should be moving, as serveral prestigious univeristies have, in the direction of a more extensive requirement rather than eliminating existing physical education requirements. In the final analysis, SUNY has a heavy stake in the quality of it physical education program. Everything that our colleges and univeritics hope to accomplish with students is related to their health and vitality. Students who graduate from our educational institution will need bodies worthy of their minds if they are to assume the difficult and important tasks that will increase their usefulness to mankind. Consequently, the school that fails to provide physical education is jeopardizing all of its aims and aspirations. It is inconsistent and illogical to put much effort and resources into preparing fine scientists, doctors, engineers, lawyers, musicians, poets, philosophers, journalists, businessmen, and the like who cannot achieve to their full potential because they lack the strength, stamina, health and vitality to do so. The noblest thoughts in the minds of men are but wishful thinking in a body physically unable to put the thoughts in action. Students suffering from obesity, debilitating weakness and other conditions that can be improved via good health practices, including exercise, would be “lost” to the physical education department if there were no mechanism for enrolling them in the program Students who are physcially atypical, whose conditions can be improved through activities, and students who are pathetically low in motor ability (skills) have the most to gain from a varied program of activities that meets individual needs. We want the opportunity to serve these students and will be able to do so in much better fashion with new facilities programmed for Amherst. Those who highly recommend life-time sports in the physical education program should examine the present physical education activities offering. While needing improvement in terms of special courses for the handicapped, our program rates well at the top in the life-time sports area, and in general fitness activities. We appreciate the good work The Spectrum is doing in objectively ventilating the several views concerning matters of interest on this campus.

I am paying $67 per year, to be told that I have a low mentality, because I, along with several thousand others, want my money spent on films and music.

The Spectrum Student Periodical, Inc Republication of any matter herein without the express consent of the Editor-in-Chief is strictly forbidden. Editorial policy is’determined by the Editor in-Chief On Friday, February 15, 1974, The Spectrum published the following; “An effort to decide whether or not Larry Williams should be allocated $1000 for court fees was again delayed until February 26. Mr. Williams was arrested by Campus j Security last October on charges of harrassment and resisting arrest.” The rest of the article details the other demands of the BSU and the Student Assembly’s subsequent endorsement. The premiere question has not yet been answered: Why is the Assembly considering paying the court charges of a student? Was he representing the University in this incident? Is he a special case, unique from other students who have to pay their own legal fees? Despite an assertion from one of the Assembly members that the allocation would be illegal due to “mandatory student activities fee guidelines,” the in its usual display of backbone and Assembly courage has seen fit to postpone a decision that might bring an unfavorable reaction from a minority group. Mr. Williams was acquitted of the charges in that case and demanded that the administration pay for his court costs. Why SI000? Did the total cost of the legal fees reach exactly $1000? Or was it less? If it was more than $1000, why not have the students pay the entire bill? After $1000 or so, what the hell does a couple of hundred dollars represent? While the headlines in The Spectrum detail the financial plight of the various student organizations like UUAB, PIRG, and other organizations dedicated to the general interest, Mr. Williams wants us to pay for his legal costs. Why only Mr. Williams? If we are going to begin to pay legal costs, then let’s pay all student legal fees. Mr. Williams feels that we should pay his legal fees because he was innocent and he was a victim of a conspiracy. Oh well, I don’t remember Student Association paying the legal fees for all of the students that got busted during the cgmpus riots of the sixties. They also were victims of the same system of justice that supposedly is out to get Mr. Williams. The blame for this mess is not the fault of BSU or Mr. Williams; they feel that, justifiably or not, the Student Assembly should pay his legal fees. The real blame belongs upon the indecisive, spineless and wishy-washy students that supposedly represent us in our farce of a student government. These students have been stringing Mr. Williams and BSU along, by even considering that the Student Assembly has the power to - The Spectrum Friday, PROM NOW OOiP CLURM* — one of many, randomly chosen, who were surveyed concerning how I -want my mandatory fee money spent. Apparently, the results of that survey were not to UUAB’s liking. If UUAB’s staff members do not like the direction their employers, (we, the suckers who foot the bill), give them, I suggest that they “relieve their frustrations” by quitting, and allowing someone who is willing to program according to student priorities have a chance.

According to Mr. Kenneth Unker, treasurer for the Student Association, in a letter written to The Spectrum concerning PIRG on February 13, 1974, “Once S.A. budgeted its funds last May, it’s absolutely financially impossible to alter those allocations.” Therefore we assume that it would be impossible, as Mr. Unker has stated, to reallocate $1000 for Mr. Williams’ legal fees. Let us assume, however, that the Student Assembly agrees to fund Mr. Williams’ legal fees. This is not as far-fetched as it might sound, for stranger occurances have taken place in the august halls of the Student Assembly meetings. If the Assembly docs agree to give Mr. Williams the $1000, then it will have to consider other requests from students. It is only fair that if you pay the legal costs of One student then all students are entitled to the same privilege. Basically the Student Assembly could become a funding agency for legal fees; deciding which students and cases it would fund, and basing its decision upon the ambunt of pressure and threats that each special interest group would apply. Of course, now that this column has suggested that it is due to minority group pressure that Mr. Williams might receive $1000 for personal legal fees, and that the Student Assembly, contrary to its legal guidelines, is considering the proposal, this columnist will be branded a racist. Quite the opposite. There is no reason, no precedent, no compelling reason why the students of this University have to pay the personal legal fees of ANY student, black or white. Any personal legal fee is the sole property and responsibility of the defendant, and not of the community to which he belongs. While general student activities have been curtailed due to budgetary restrictions, our Assembly is proposing to illegally allocate money that is desparately needed by the general student public. Which club or clubs will feel the effect of a cutback when previously appropriated monies are withdrawn and given to Mr. Williams? If Mr. Williams and BSU wish to have other people pay his legal fees, then they should do what other students have done and create a defense fund to which people could voluntarily contribute. It has been done before and can be done again. On February 26, the Student Assembly will again decide whether or not to give Mr. Williams $1000. If you care where your money goes, than get off your ass and get down to the meeting and tell your representative what you think of that proposal. If not, oh well, what is a $1000 among friends?

He holds the positions of associate director of the Tze Ulmad Institute, Contributing Editor of The Times of Israel and World Jewish Review and editor of Yavneh Review, and has published in Tradition, National Review, Newsday and other periodicals.

Mr. Telushkin first became aware of the war through the Siberian Jewish Underground. “From Novosibersk to Moscow, wherever [we) traveled, Jews huddled around their radios for the latest news from unjammed Voice of America,” he reported in The Times of Israel. Concern and harassment He said the Soviet Jews were far more concerned for Israel than for themselves, although the latest conflicts resulted in stricter harassment and imprisonment of many of these people. Mr. Telushkin wrote; “It is perhaps still too early to assess the effects of the October War on Soviet Jews. Some of the people we met were afraid the results of the war might parallel those that followed the Six-Day War a discontinuation of emigration for a year and a half. That has not - happened.

The Spectrum Friday, 22 February 1974 . ; Eyeing an increased budget of PIRG’s across the state would be borne in the first year, on a trial basis by NYPIRG, Stating that we “can’t keep piddling around anymore,” Mr. Ross described the various ways in which funding could be obtained if another SA allocation is not approved the following year. The most ideal way would be to have the additional cost included in a student’s bill and leave him the optipn of not paying it. However, this method is least likely to be approved. Another method would be to increase the flat appropriation from year to year, reflecting the students’ desire to maintain or improve the existing structure of WNYP1RG. The Western New York Public Interest Research Group (WNYPIRG) has been informally assured of a $25,000 appropriation for the upcoming academic year by the SA Finance Committee. Donald Ross, director of the parent New York Public Interest Research Group, spelled out exactly the conditions upon which the Buffalo group can join NYPIRG. Mr. Ross, apparently impatient with the slow-moving nature of the Student Association, said: “It’s time for a dynamite tactic; either you get it going or let it die naturally.” Mr. Ross emphasized that the group cannot continue on “$500 of $800 budgets... we just can’t function on that kind of money.” WNYPIRG can join NYPIRG on a one-year trial basis if SA will approve a $25,000 allocation. WNYPIRG was allocated only $2000 this year. The members of the SA finance committee in attendance all agreed on the need for available WNYPIRG on this campus. Several members questioned Mr. Ross as to what other campuses were - - doing to organize a P1RG. Mr. Ross said; ‘They re all waiting for this place to move.” Apparently, once this University joins NYPIRG, other schools in Western New York will organize to join NYPIRG as well. Full-time attorney At the present time, WNYP1RG does not have a vote in state-wide NYPIRG. With the approval of the $25,000 allocation, it will gain that vote. The $25,000 allocation will remain entirely in Buffalo, Mr. Ross explained. It would be used to hire two full-time staff members, at least one of whom will be an attorney. Additional money would be used to hire a part-time work study student for office work. The balance would be used for office supplies and costs. The other costs necessary to build a network M fticccvcrt 'fy&tvt “Place - J • • ‘Sy damfruten it One year trial Mr. Ross also explained that SA could, after one year, not allocate any additional funds to PIRG. None of the finance committee participants apparently felt this was likely to occur. Once the allocation is approved, Mr. Ross said it was likely that stalling could be completed within a few months. FIRG is seeking people who will totally immerse themselves in the work, and will be full-time employees, adding a sense of continuity to the changing students who volunteer their services. Additionally, WNYPIRG can hire summer interns for specific projects. ‘There would be,” Mr. Ross maintained, “a steady systematic flow of completed projects rolling off every two to four weeks. These would not be just price surveys but highly visible and important projects.” He added that the steady flow of high quality projects would build WNYPIRG’s name and increase its recognition in the community. The meeting closed with the Finance Committee members pledging their support, provided Mr. Ross provides them with a line-by-line budget for the next year by March 15.

Delaware St. Littleton, Colo. 80120 �by Randi Schnur Assistant Arts Editor The Exorcist is not just a movie. It is an a horrifying and horrible one, disgusting, nauseating, sickening, and SICK. It is literally painful to watch, and it can really mess up your mind if you let it. (Fourteen people in Pittsburgh who had never been noticeably strange before, or so the story goes, suddenly required psychiatric care after being subjected to this atrocity.) All the people connected with it should be shot (although it would have been wiser to have done away wjth them before distribution began). And Mrs. Eflair, mother of cute little Linda who played the owner of the unfortunate body possessed by Satan, should be drawn and quartered. Okay now, I admit that those were my first impressions, taken down during the first waves of outrage and revulsion that kept me awake until sunrise after I saw what is likely to become the biggest money-maker in film history. Since then I've calmed down quite a bit, and toned down my criticisms accordingly. The executions would be pointless anyway; experience — most people apparently want to be shocked, they love the terror (despite, or perhaps because of, the superficiality) that May assn sm the raunchiest horror films arouse. Rotten to the core However, at its core The Exorcist is still a bad movie; it is virtually plotless and has some really horrendous acting. It is based entirely on one gimmick and the special effects (over ten million dollars' worth) required to sustain it. But what a gimmickll WILLIAM PETER BLATTV'S THE EXORCIST William Peter Blatty's best-selling novel was the kind of book that you hate to read, but can't put down. For those few who have managed to resist it altogether, the meager story line concerns twelve-year-old Regan MacNeil, a perfectly normal little girl who suddenly and inexplicably begins going into trances, convulsing, and shouting obscenities. Her movie-star mother sends her to every neurologist and psychiatrist she can find, while Regan gets stranger and stranger. Finally, the distraught mother calls in Father Damien Karras, a young Jesuit "psychiatric counselor" who had just told a fellow priest that he was losing his faith. it takes some doing, but Regan's demon manages to convince Karras of its existence and of the need for the exorcism ceremony. This has been the spirit's plan all along, it seems Satan has taken over the body of the "faithless" little girl in order to get closer to Karras, who is still too good a Catholic to be inhabited — directly. Beating the devil Expert exorcist Lancaster Merrin is call in on the case as well, but the girl gets progressively worse until Karras decides that he, like the rest of us, has had enough. "Take me!" he screams, and is taken but he repents at the crucial moment, thus having the last word and presumably banishing Satan, at least for the time being. Regan comes out of it all with a few scratches and bruises, but no memories. The special effects the tricks the demon performs in the scheme to capture Damien Karras are incredible. Director William Friedkin, best remembered for the chase scene he staged two years ago in The French Connection, has here surpassed himself and beaten all past masters of the macabre at the same time. Believe me, no one can nauseate you like the team of Blatty and Friedkin. Furniture, blood, and the demon's slimy green vomit fly in all directions. Open wounds appear on Regan's body as she levitates to the ceiling; her eyes glow green in her bloody, pus-encrusted face, and her head turns 360 degrees without twice. In what must falling off her neck be the most excruciatingly tasteless sequence most people will ever see, she masturbates with a long silver crucifix and then pushes her mother's face between her bloody thighs. Immediately afterwards, the terrified woman is nearly killed when a huge wooden dresser skitters across the floor toward her and topples over inches from the corner in which she cowers. — — — — As millions scream Almost as amazing as the events on the screen are the hordes who wait outside to see them. The crowd that showed up for the film’s premiere performance in Buffalo last Tuesday at midnight packed the lobby of the Holiday I and II theatres so tightly that no one but those left outside could move at all for nearly an hour. Once everyone was seated and the overflow had moved inside, the lobby remained just as crowded. The shouts and screams of the indignant people who were not allowed to pay three and a half dollars for the dubious privilege of watching Regan throw up could be heard halfway through the movie. Channel 7 sent a reporter to record the reactions of the lucky hundreds who made it into the theatre; they were almost unanimously revolted. But by the time The Exorcist has closed all over the country, huge numbers of their friends will have insisted on seeing it anyway. Why?? —continued on page 13— �'Black Hand Side' s ' / Roses in the ghetto by Tom Lansing Spectrum Arts Staff Remember Amos and Andy? Of course not but they were supposedly great favorites on the radio and early television. Whitey got a kick out of these two incompetent blacks, or so it is told. Though they performed on radio, they were a good example of how the black man was portrayed in films of the 1930's and 40's. For example, how about the stupid train porters and cooks in The Three Stooges, and who can forget those two incredibly degrading segments of "Uncle Tomming" in the Marx Brothers' A Day at the Races and At the by Jay Boyar Spectrum Arts Editor I'll talk about Serpico in a minute. Hang on. Recently, in response to rhy generally unfavorable review of Papillon, a letter appeared in The Spectrum. In part, it said, "Mr. Boyer (sic) speaks of this movie as Frank Schaffner's extravaganza, filled with sensationalist 'baddies' But what The Spectrum's Arts Editor fails miserably to mention is that Papillon's story is true." The gist of this correspondent's argument seems to be that if a story actually takes place in feal life, then its contents can not be attacked on the grounds that they are used in a calculating and pompously unartistic way by the director. Of course, this is hogwash. Just because the real Papillon visited a leper colony, that doesn't mean it would necessarily make a good subject for a film episode, or that (if it is a good subject) Circus? In came the racial riots of the 60's, along with the demand for telling it like it is by blacks everywhere, and it was hush-hush on Uncle Tom's appearance. Instead of Amos and Andy we got Sanford andSon. Sidney Poitier did his thing in cinema as the good black man, Richard Roundtree started a following as the bad, but cool dude. And while all of this was going on, there were no dumb "Yes'm" 's. Well, the drive for civil rights will be pleased that blocks have reached some semblance of equality in the film industry. This is marked with therelease of the film Five on the Black Hand Side, which shows that the curse has been lifted, and it is once again permissible to have a black fool... but, of course, done in Afro-American style. ... Out of the race Charlie L. Russel has adapted his off-Broadway play, which deals with the problems of a black middle-class family, for the screen. Mind you, the major problem here is only distantly related to any racial crises. The film could be dubbed Bringing Up Father, or the Enlightenment of Mr. Brooks. Leonard Jackson plays the role of John Henry Brooks, a self-made barbershop owner, who wants only the same good fortune for his three maturing kids: Gail, Gideon, and Booker T. However, the core of the plot involves the relationship between John Henry and his wife Gladys (Clarice Taylor), Who, as the action unveils itself, are speaking to each other only on a strict Mr. And Mrs. basis. What evolves is not much more than a television situation comedy. Oh, it's entertaining (maybe it's not a sit com after all), but considering its attempt to depict the culture and social conflicts woven into a middle-class black family, the film leaves one rather disappointed by falling short of its potential. we are treated to scenes of her and her corps adorned in army uniforms, equipped with binoculars, strategy maps, and picket signs. It's all in fun, but the sudden switch leads one to start comparing the film's credibility with Ozzie Nelson's non-existent source of income. Let's took at the ghetto that permanently depressed, unpleasant reminder to Americans that their system does not contain all the justice which they claim it does. Though middle-class, the Brooks family still lives in an apartment building in the ghetto. After seeing the cleanliness and the living standards depicted, one would be almost tempted to move there or at least make it his goal. After viewing the film, I drove home through part of the Buffalo ghetto. There were no roses there; not even a lily. There is quite a discrepancy between truth and the it would receive sensitive treatment. Since everything Papillon did can not be put into the movie, the director must be selective as to what he deals with and how he deals with it. Beating the rap? If he were telling the story of some a priori important historical figure, there might be some justification for including a pertinent (but dull or gawky) scene. But Papillon is not essentially an historical film; it tries to be a universally I important one, and it fails. There has even been quite some speculation about the veracity of the picture. Oddball of fire As far as being an oddball is concerned, Leonard Jackson comes through with dazzling colors of red fire around his eyes and yellow sparks sputtering from his mouth in response to Women's Lib. His “Mr, Cool" character, featuring an ever-striaght posture and etiquette, shines throughout the film. However, the lack of realism built into him is the film's first sign that you'd better relax and be set for "living-room entertainment.' Clarice Taylor as the meek Gladys Brooks slowly creates a character with an ever-stiffening backbone and an incidents it portrays, anyway. Perhaps this seems like a rather lengthy introduction, but as Serpico is also based on a true story, the point I am making is germane. Frank Serpico was an actual cop in New York City whose story is told in the film. He made history by: a) remaining honest in hopelessly corrupt police departments, and b) trying to stop the corruption around him. Due largely to his efforts, the Knapp Commission was formed. Also, through his efforts, he made so many enemies among hoods and cops that a bullet claimed his hearing and the partial use of a leg. A case can be made that Papillon is an ever-developing mind. A word of warning to the unwary moviegoer: the picture changes moods quite abruptly, and one might find oneself taking seriously a scene which proves to be completely nonsensical. Five on the Black Hand Side is nothing more than pleasant theatrical fluff produced particularly for those moviegoers who like to bring their television sets along with them. It is simply a good "relevant" family sit com. Hmmm, maybe we have progressed since Amos and Andy after all. o D CHINESE FOOD •STEAKS•CHOPS• Air conditioned Free Parking Open 7 days a week 7 a.m. 12 midnight 10% Discount for Pick up Table Service • " 47 WALNUT - (416)-871 Page ten . 6851 The Spectrum .

Sure, I know, it’s hurried and pedestrian. Yeah, the editing's pretty uneven. But it is this very jaggedness that captures the mood of New York City as I know it; a sketchy, almost Bohemian mood that echoes a visitor's view. It is as if the camera were a rather careless relative, leading us by the hand through the city. Incidentally, the last careless relative of mine who's getting more careful now that he's past that showed me around New York is my fifty father's fraternal twin. Sully Boyar, who appears in this film. If I didn't mention his small role of a seasoned cop who makes a graduation speech near the picture's beginning and does (I think) a good job of it, my name wouldn't be Jay Boyar. It would be Jay Mud. Or perhaps, just Mud. And by the way, my generally favorable view of this film is in no way influenced by this coincidence. Both Uncle Sully and Pacino were in another film. Panic in Needle Park, and I hated it. So chew on that, seekers of corruption. The police department may be infected, but this reviewer's desk is clean. I have a woman who comes in every other Thursday to tidy up. f— Q I Fuzzy —THE BRAZILIA 1 mJ)Mk - — r I do not think Serpico should be praised for its lack of ambition, but neither do I think it should be condemned on those grounds. We should realize that it is not a great movie but, rather, a good, lively flick and get on with it. Al Pacino (Scarecrow, The Godfather) is nice and natural. His characterization of Serpico, while not particularly inspired or intriguing, is endearing and believable. Indeed, it's true that the script and direction don't tell us why Serpico is unique'among gendarmes. Because he's really Al Pacino? Because he's Italian? Yet, Pacino's charm does give us a clue and a clue is all we need in this workmanlike move. — — • — Book maker things. For instance, after a barber shop scene in the ghetto, and the surrounding tavern-like atmosphere are successfully depicted, Gladys declares war on hubby, prodded by the neighborhood radical. Suddenly Q — Book maker If Peter Maas (author of the book upon which the movie was based), director Sidney Lumet, and adaptors Waldo Salt and Norman Wexler have any crusade, it is informing us, through the movie, of some facts about police corruption.

Actually, it is only a hack job which tries to con us into thinking that it is a big, almost Biblical event. It uses important every trick in the book, and it does foot some people (not me, of course). But even granting (what I do not for a moment believe) that it honestly and ambitiously tries to dig out some deep meaning in life, it certainly is not up to the task. It is just too ... well, pushy. Now Serpico is a whole 'nother batlgame; it is not especially ambitious. All it does is give an entertaining account of a minor historical incident (if the Trojan War was a major, folks, then this is minor). It's no psychological study about the nature of corruption. In fact, we don't even know what makes Frank Serpico different from his fellows. All we get is a prosaic but exciting and enjoyable statement of his life and times.

WBFO �, Great ghoul Horror films related to man * ’• by Bill Maraschiello Spectrum Am Staff A word for the 1950's: technology. The Space Age, atomic energy, television. Another word: by Tom Lansing Spectrum Arts Steff Why did I see Cinderella Liberty ? Well, there's something about the underdog which greatly attracts me. For years I was an avid Met fan, my favorite pitcher posted a "won 8, lost 19" record, I voted for George McGovern through the Liberal party. I'm picking the California Golden Seals to take hockey's Stanley Cup this year, and I have always been for social justice to triumph in society. So when the Holiday Theater announced the opening of three new films last week, my course of action was embedded in past tradition. Everyone knew that Buffalo's biggest attraction. The Exorcist, had opened there last Wednesday, along with the area's second biggest film, Serpico. But how many people even noticed the advertisement for the third new feature which read; "James Caan in Cinderella Liberty "7 I had to see it. My underdog sentiment was just too strong. paranoia. Being the biggest kids on the block, everyone was after the Americans. And everything was BIG, and BIGger was better. In the science fiction of the fifties, we were invaded by a monstrous, an alien, a foreign enemy, who was subsequently destroyed by Yankee .ingenuity. Always, there was another spaceman or prehistoric beast to replace the one we had just knocked off. But take Invasion of the Body Snatchers, by Don Siegel of Dirty Harry fame. Here, strange seedpods from God-knows where drain the wills and emotions from sleeping humans. The enemy is and ' Also, Rydells uneven changes of pace in the film were conducive to good viewing. Lonely people can get suddenly upset, I'll admit, but not by a flick of the switch the way Johnny and Maggie do. Eli Watlach did a fine job as Forshe, an ex-officer and friend of Johnnie's. His amusing but sad character is what the film needed. As for Marsha Mason, I don't really see how she received the Golden Globe Award for best dramatic actress. Don't get me wrong: she is quite good, even if she does laugh like a horse. But Jim, what happened to you? I mean, if you really wanted to see Serpico or The Exorcist instead of competing with them, why didn't you say so in the first place? not Vincent Price vehicles. Many of them owed nothing to Poe except their titles; the plotless poem The Conqueror Worm "inspired" a film about witch-hunts. Gorman's films were less mannered and more vigorous than the Hammer product, and the variety of his sources there's only one basic Frankenstein helped keep his films interesting. Daniel story Haller's sets accurately reflected the crumbling House of Usher or the seven chambers of The Masque of the Red Death, each done in one resplendent color. A predominantly young audience is subtly manipulated by Gorman's casting: his leads are young and attractive, the villains older and nasty to the point of absurdity. After a prolific decade (he completed one film-in a total of three days), his output has decreased in both quantity and quality. — — Swirls too early As for your director-producer Mark Rydell, there are a few things he should know. That novel by Darryl Ponicsan on which Cinderella Liberty was based was not perfectly adaptable to a 110-minute film. Rydell should have realized that the swirling climax in the book would 1 appear way too early in the film to keep the audience s interest. After all, when two lovers hit their obvious peak after one hour of running time, what other way can they go but down? The least Rydell could have done was to let Marsha and you appear to have a chance of going places, instead of smearing clouds of gray alt over the set. Super market Roger Gorman's career in the macabre began in the fifties with a series of genial horror parodies., including the hilarious The Little Shop of Horrprs, which could easily have been based on the original Mad comics. Soon afterwards, he picked up Edgar Allan Poe as his inspiration and began his series of — Beyond help Really Jim, I was rooting for you all the way, but I'm afraid not even my sympathetic disposition toward the production could help. And you didn't help either, being so embarrased by the loose story line in the opening minutes that you and your cohorts had to mumble through the opening dialogue, leaving us all up in the air as to what was medically wrong with you, which enabled you to receive "Cinderella" liberty. (Didn't the nurse mumble something about you having to be back at the base at midnight, and you mumbled the film's title?) 1 didn't see Slither, and I don't specifically remember you in The Godfather, Jim, but did you portray your characters then as unemotionally as you portrayed Johnny Baggs in this picture? Sure, Johnny is a sailor on temporary leave, and has been a loner all his life. Sure, his naval records get lost and this extends his leave in Seattle a few extra months, which makes him now not only a loner, but also almost penniless. But Jim, Johnny meets a whore, Maggie Paul, played by Marsha you know what that is? Mason, and falls in love with her. Love, Jim You and she have terrible arguements in which you walk out on her twice because Johnny is so sensitive, while his lover admits to being rather insensitive. Sensitive, Jim, do you . . . aw, what's the use! from an atmosphere of tension. Technicolor is exploited by the many shots of bloody, raw flesh. But for unrestrained bloodletting. Hammer is easily surpassed by the total disgust ofsuch films as Mark of the Devil. Fifteen years after their start, they finally appear to have flogged their horse to death. is much more effective than an all-encompasing apocalypse where individual insights can be lost. A few SF films.realized this, using it in a variety of ways. Tfte A rpazing Colossal Man and The Incredible Shrinking Man drew fear from an inexorable, dehumanizing process which turned man into freak. Robert Wise's ambitious, ponderous The Day the Earth Stood Still, where alien Michael Rennie tries to decide whether Earth should be destroyed, has great dramatic strength. Its SF elements are used by the basic story, instead of substituting gimmickry. Batty In 1958, Horror of Dracula appeared, the first successful production of England's Hammer Films. The company soon swamped the screen with highly profitable films featuring new renderings of all the Frankenstein, the Mummy, classic fiends — werewolves, etc. Christopher Lee usually plays the Van Helsing, monster, Peter Cushing the scientist Dr. Frankenstein, whoever. The rest of the acting is wooden, the scripts growing more hackneyed and predictable as time progressed. There are lush sets and music unfortunately, since lavishness distracts far too much — — Screw The vast majority of "serious" modern horror efforts are too genteel and restrained to produce real uncontrolled shudders. The Innocents, based on Henry James' The Turn of the Screw, is every bit as didactic and overly symbolic as you would expect a Truman Capote-scripted film to be; the result is self-indulgent and boring. The Haunting, Robert Wise's tale of the supernatural in a dark old house, is less ponderous in tone and more successful generally. But in both films, the supernatural events are the product of a neurotic spinster's subconscious. In The Innocents, when the young boy kisses his governess (Deborah Kerr) on the mouth, she reacts like a woman being raped. Claire Bloom, in The Haunting is a lesbian who makes advances to the disturbed Julie Harris. Freudian allusions as obvious as those are thankfully absent from Psycho, the most frightening film of the 60's. Author Robert Bloch gives Hitchcock fluent opportunity to indulge the director's macabre instincts as has never happened before or since. You all know about the drive on the rainy night, the shower scene, and that no one can be as harmless as Anthony Perkins looks! While most other cinema craftsmen are basically after the buck. Block and Hitchcock appear, in this one film, as truly evil men. The film's art is to convince us that they really mean it. Psycho is atypical in that there is nothing supernatural or superscientific about it, but its source of fright couldn’t be more reliable. I remember an H.P. Lovecraft story called The Outsider, which culminates in the narrator coming face to face with a horrifying creature more specifically, with a mirror. His monster is himself. A real monster must be a mirror or our own deepest fears, of the terrors we can create within ourselves. Any man could be a monster, but a monster's greatness depends on how much it is a man. ; — — >tere* $ens by David Simon Editor's Note: Mark Tobak is on vacation. David Simon, a hi-fidelity buff, takes his place this week. You can choose the world’s best hi-fidelity components and still get lousy sound. The original source of the music within the system is what determines the ultimate quality the system can produce. The two major sources of pre-recorded music are disc and tape. While the various tape systems (cassette, cartridge, and reel) hold promise for the future, as of now their potential for high-quality reproduction is largely untapped. Among the present pre-recorded media, only the disc can accurately reproduce music without excessive noise, distortion or lack of highs. Also, disc records are easy to store, and their convenience in playing specifit selections cannot be questioned. Undoubtedly for serious listeners, the disc will not be superceded as the foremost system for music reproduction. However, most people seem to have the attitude that a record can fend for itself. By this I mean that the proper care and feeding of discs is largely ignored. Most sizable record collections have an original purchase price in the hundreds of dollars, and they warrant the same respect that any other component in the hi-fidelity chain deserves. before playing the record to remove deeper dirt from the disc. Both devices have anti static properties to keep the record from naturally attracting dust. The major points in record care are outlined below Storage To prevent warping, records should be stored as perfectly vertical as possible. A medium amount of pressure should be applied evenly to the disc from each side. Excessive heat and cold should be avoided. Handling The only parts of a disc that should be touched are the center label and the extreme edges. Never touch the record grooves because natural oil will be left there, greatly increasing the accumulation of dust and dirt at the spot. combination is particularly hard remove, expecially once it gets ground into the vinyl. This sludge-like to Cleaning While there are a number of "record-cleaning cloths" on the market, only one manufacturer markets a complete and sensible line of record care products. Cecil Watts sells two very popular products: the Dust Bug ($6.50 list/$4.75 discount) which, when used together with the Disc Preener ($4.00 list/$2.75 discount), keep record dirt to a minimum. The Dust Bug, which resembles a miniature tone arm, mounts to the turntable and cleans the surface dust while the record is playing. The Disc Preener is used Maintenance of the Stylus Dirt periodically builds up on the stylus tip. If not cleaned, severe distortion can occur. A soft brush or watts' stylus should be used here, never a finger\ Besides leaving oils behind, the "finger" method may damage the stylus assembly. A stylus generally doesn't need replacement as often as manufacturers suggest, and most will last for two years or more of the average use. When a replacement stylus is needed, consider purchasing a whole new cartridge (with stylus), as discount house cartridge prices are usually considerably less than just purchasing the stylus from a local outlet. Make sure that the tone arm tracking force is set to the lowest possible level, consistent with good reproduction and the instructions supplied with the cartridge and turntable. Forces which are either too low or too high cause needless record wear and tear and inferior sound. Disc care should be first on the list of maintenance priorities for anyone with a record collection they consider valuable. If followed, these points will add immeasurably to the enjoyment of your records as needless wear, noise and warping will be greatly reduced. Friday, 22 February 1974 The Spectrum Page eleven . . ' �Synthesized blues Music for good times Drenched in the raw power ofAllison's whipping music Two musicians. Bob Franke and Mike Allen, from the "Buck 'n' Wing" music co-operative working out of Boston will play in Norton Hall this weekend in the UUAB Coffeehouse. Mike Allen is an accomplished instrumentalist on guitar, slide guitar, harmonica, and barrel house piano. His music is drawn from the variety of music traditions that he has absorbed in the ten years he has traveled throughout the U.S. and Canada playing music; including country & urban blues, ragtime, country-western, and Appalacian. Mike has drawn from many of America's musical greats for his inspirations. He especially likes Woody Guthrie, Blind Willie McTell, Hank Williams, Robert Johnson, and Blind Blake. Allen's performance promises more than a collection of moldy songs however, as he spices his performance with tasteless jokes, southern humor and bad puns. Allen shines on guitar with pieces like "Chicken," and "Don't Sell It, Don’t Mother Fuyer." (Roosevelt Sykes always introduces this number "This is not a dirty song !. it's all in your head.") Allen & Franke are members of a musicians co-op that tries to coordinate the activities of five Boston based musicians and side step the vicious, often creativity-sapping music business. The musicians run their own music and tour without the aid of promo men, producers, and specialists in running other peoples lives. These people have set out to relate music to people in a new human and pro-life manner. All good music is a reflection of the musician's background and surroundings, but the best bluesmen somehow manage to reflect their history and circumstances far better than anyone else. Thus, it's been only a matter of time until a totally contemporary bluesman emerged as the new guiding light in the genre. Luther Allison is nothing less than that brilliant new light. His music merges the traditional and the contemporary, the black and the white, the blues and hard rock. It's pure pleasure. Luther's personal story reflects this sense of synthesis. Born in Arkansas, he moved to Chicago at a tender age and spent most of his youth hanging about the blues bars listening to Howlin' Wolf and Magic Sam. He got his first job at the age of 17 in 1957 playing bass. After hearing B.B. King play "I Got a Whole Lot of Lovin'," the neophyte bassman turned to the guitar and in the past three years, Luther and band have torn apart the Ann Arbor Blues Festival, whupping even the biggest names. On one occasion at the Fest, Allison topped off his set by bringing up Johnny Winter for a rocking blues jam finale. Forsaken values They have expressed this attitude in a statement of purpose for their co-op: "In its obsession with profit, the American economic system has forsaken most of the values we deal with in our music. As a result it has contributed heavily to the degradation or even the death of some of our greatest artists, whether they have 'succeeded' or 'failed' in the system's terms. The graves of Robert Johnson and Jimi Hendrix, of Bessie Smith and Janis Joplin, are not too far apart; they are all located in America." Everyone concerned with the music scene today perhaps owes it to themselves to support these young musicians, and to come check out just how they work out their ideas in a real and often overwhelming world. Coffeehouse will begin Friday and Saturday shortly after 9:00 p.m. On Friday evening it will be held in its usual location in the first floor cafeteria of Norton. It should be noted that on Saturday evening Coffeehouse will take place in the Rathskeller. Tickets are available at the Norton Hall Ticket Office. B.B. and Hendrix He does wonders in his highly personalized style. He is clearly carrying on what the greats have forged, yet Allison encapsulates some of the more modern characteristics in his style. He's young and electric and the bond between old and new is indestructible in his performance. Tall, slim, and well-dressed, Luther Allison has all the ingredients for stardom. First and foremost is the fact that he knows the blues and is able to drench himself in a wide variety of styles while retaining his own genuine sound. His playing is reminiscent of B.B. King and Jimi Hendrix. Believe it or not, his playing is practically a perfect blend of those two distinct styles. He pours notes of a King with the forth the assured Stridency of a Hendrix. The effect is dazzling. Allison is fast, clear and tight. He could take on any British blues/rockers going and wipe them off the stage. He has charisma and a style that should teach the Allman Brothers fanatics a new trick or two. Allison has such facility over his guitar that it's impossible to pin him down to comparisons. His versatility is a major strength, yet it is his basic excitment and intensity that carries him through. His music bursts with the blues, loud and blaring, yet clean and precise. The group sound has the same sort of effervescent quality that distinguished Paul Culture and history in Indian crafts exhibit , A very colorful and diversified craft show featuring contributions from Native American Indians will be presented by Gallery 219, from February 17—28. The exhibit includes examples of "finger weaving," woven baskets, practical items such as a wooden device used for carrying children on an adult's back, carvings in wood and stone and jewelry made from beads and silver. Indian rituals are depicted; symbols representing different clans in the carvings; and mystical ideas are materialized in the form of masks. One stone carving "Tododaho" by Duffy Wilson of the Tuscarora Reservation is a symbolic head that depicts the founding of the Indian Confederacy 600 years ago. "Tododaho" was the name of the dissfenting chief from the Indian tribe who Onondaga protested the consolidation of the Mohawk, Oneida, Onondaga, Cayuga, and Seneca tribes into the Iroquois Confederacy. The other forty-nine chiefs agreed to the union but before the union was finalized they had to pacify the chief whose head was covered with snakes, according to The union affected the Indians in New York, Pennsylvania, Ohio and Ontario. The Grand Council of the original five nations was Onondaga held on the the Reservation, home of Todadaho. In the 1700's the Tuscarora nation joined the confederacy.

Failing on that score I shuffled my emaciated being over to*Kleinhans to cover the Dave Mason and Strawbs concert. Upon arriving at the Music Hall I quickly collegiate hip scanned the crowd and decided to — — duck downstairs to the bar. If I was to be any match for this concert, I would need a little protoplasmic poison to get the adrenalin flowing and to warm and stimulate the creative juices. Besides, it is the duty and semi-binding obligation of any reviewer to rub elbows, and an occasional derriere, with the public, if for no other reason then to render elitist epithets groundless. Yet it seems a workingman can't even plant his blue-tinged lips on a good Bloody Mary because the bar wasn't making any. Slightly dazed from that amazing fact, I settled for a Bud, clicked the tumblers in my cerebrum and thought about the musical experience that stretched ahead in the night. The Strawbs, a poor man's Yes, opened the show and were immediately tieset with difficulties. The sound system was functioning below par, resulting in failures in the total sound reproduction of the vast array of keyboard instruments. Dave Cousins tried to salvage some of the proceedings with some fiery guitar work on "Just Love" and "Down By The Sea," and these moments provided the best the quintet could offer. The 40-minute Strawbs set was ensnared in a conspiracy of foul-ups, the least being vocals lost in a sound mix which even search parties couldn't locate. Sensing their predicament, arid the audience's apathy, the Strawbs quickly bowed out. VOTE FOCUS Dave Mason had put on his rock and roll sneakers. Mason's band played with cohesiveness; they anticipated one another's moves and complimented them with expertise and relish. On a blues rocker, Mike Finnegan, the keyboard man, sang with a wailing voice and assaulted the organ with the fervor and fury of a Jerry Lee Lewis disciple slightly crazed with Thunderbird. It again emphasized the fact that Mason was not content to remain laid back and mellow. "Baby.. Please" evidenced juicy guitar interplay between Mason and guitarist Paul Krueger, challenging and prodding one another, forcing the musical development into spiral waves of guitar energy. Mason's voice sounded full and fine throughout the evening. His stylized guitar phrasings were sweet, and while not always mind-boggling, they paid tribute to a musician who was in close communion with his musical inspiration and expression. Dave concluded the night with a rocking "Feeling All Right," an encore that evidently pleased an audience lifted to their feet. Dave Mason's performance at Klefnhan's is the stuff of which finely crafted rock and roll is wrought. Now only if they could do something about the bar. . . Intermission and a maze-like scurry back to the subterranean watering hole in hope of a Heinekin's. Again disappointment followed by a quick compromise, and a watery Miller's washed down my throat. Becoming somewhat jaded from these mildly frustrating episodes, I slinked back with the crowd and awaited Mason’s entrance. The lights dimmed, and out of the shadows appeared Dave Mason. He looked somewhat like a respectable George Carlin, bearded and his hair drawn slightly behind his ears and tumbling lightly on his shoulders. A pin-striped blue shirt, sweater vest, brown . bell-bottoms and boots rounded out Mason's attire. Dave opened the set with a couple of acoustic numbers which wafted through the hall; "World in Changes" was received the best. Mason then realigned the musical lineup and brought out the entire band of keyboards, guitar, bass, drums, and a wasted dude slapping a tambourine. The names Capaldi and Winwood were whispered by Mason and the band launches into "Pearly Queen." This boy knows his roots and does a satisfying rendition of the tune. Next Mason surprises everyone by announcing a tribute to you guessed it Bob Dylan and Jimi Hendrix "All — The Exorcist... Well, it's certainly not for the acting. Friedkin has sacrificed a large company of exceptional actors on the double altar of his only chjar goals; shock and money. Ellen Burstyn's Chris MacNeil is, like her daughter, sweet and attractive until the film gets messy. Once the trouble starts, however, we hear nothing from her but a lot of sniffles and an occasional scream. She and Linda Blair's Regan start out as self-consciously casual as two characters in an ambitious home movie. Once Satan seizes Regan's body, Blair the actress seems to disappear altogether. Her face and body belong as completely to make-up man Dick Smith and special effects designer Marcel Vercoutere as the character does to the demon inside her. Kitty Winn (junkie A1 Pacino's girlfriend in The Panic in Needle Park ) is lovely and nearly human as Chris' private secretary, but too irtsignificant to make any kind of a dent; while Jack MacGowran, a fine actor who has done brilliant work in several plays by Samuel- Beckett, is merely obnoxious as the director who becomes the Along the Watchtower." Dave played some subdued wah-wah, coupled with an animated vocal to push the song along pleasantly. It became obvious now that —C.P. Fark as — continued from page 9 first victim of Regan's devil As Damien Karras, Jason Miller (who, incidentally, wrote the recent Broadway hit That Championship Season) is allowed far more time to develop his character than anyone else but Satan, and is thus the most nearly successful. The tortured priest is haunted by his own personal demon the memory of his mother, who died alone and whose body was not discovered until several days later. Regan's mimicry of old — Mrs. Karras and Satan's assertion that she is "with us" finally drive him to take the girl's devil into his own body. However, the cause of his loss of faith is never sufficiently explained. We are told that he is the parish psychiatrist and that he feels he cannot help his patients by root invoking God alone, but Blatty (who also wrote the screenplay) drops the matter at that point and never touches it again. Even more mystery, and probably a richness of character far beyond Blatty's powers of tonception, was hinted at in Max Von Sydow's portray of Father Merrin, the old exorcist. Having the most potential, Merrin becomes the least satisfactory figure of all. Theology lesson Blatty, of course, has his own explanation for what is going on here. "Do you know what I think has all those people and they are mostly men, you know shaking and fainting in that movie?" he asks in a recent issue of Newsweek. "I think that they are making the unconscious connection between that repulsive - on the screen and the moral evil in their lives, like stealing from their brother and calling it business." monstrosity Wow! I He is, of course, entitled to his after all, making that much money entitles a man to almost anything, right? but trying to turn what he rightly terms "that horrible monstrosity" into a "parable of good and evil" represents a new high in Hollywood pretentiousness. What he and Friedkin were actually doing was preying on one of our oldest and mostly deeply-rooted fears our terror of opinion for Student Rssociation president: executive vice president: sub-board I vice president: treasurer: — BOB BURRICK Carol Stykes Rich Hochman Sal Napoli — — — — succeeded; in teaching us their little theology lesson, they have not. (Blatty has written a new scene to tack onto the film's end because, according to him, about fifty per cent of The Exorcist's audiences have so far misinterpreted the ending, believing it to shown the final triumph of evil over good instead of the other way around.) If you're into this sort of thing, that one big scene between Regan and Chris the one with the mentioned above blood, the flying furniture, ad nauseum is almost worth the $3.50 by itself. On the other hand, though. The Exorcist fits into my category of “movies they should pay me to sit through;" I have never been so glad to get out of a room in my life. I am beginning to believe that if I can save even one potential shock victim from certain keep one weak-stomached viewer death away from The Exorcist I will have fulfilled my duty as a critic and as a — — — — person.

Horace Brawley and Mike Jones led the Bulls with 12 caroms each, while Otis Horne pulled down 11 rebounds and led Bull scorers with 20 points. Bulls plagued by inconsistency once more in upset to LeMoyne lead. by Dave Hnath Spectrum Staff Writer “We were inconsistent,” remarked Richardson, completing his first year as Buffalo head coach. “We were down by one with possession of the ball, and we turned it over. We just don’t take advantage of the situation when we get the breaks.” The basketball Bulls played to the utmost of their inconsistent ways Wednesday night, dropping a 103-97 decision to LeMoyne at Clark Hall. The win pushed the Dolphins record over .500 to 11-10, while Buffalo dropped their 18th decision in 21 games. The loss also marked the Bulls close at half-time The Dolphins led by as many as 11 points in the first fith time the Bulls have allowed their opponents to surpass taking their biggest lead of the contest at 39-28 half, the century mark. midway through the first half. The Bulls, with Otis Home team,” Leo a assessed “I don’t think they’re good Richardson, Buffalo cage mentor. ‘The only time we and Ken Pope doing the yeoman’s share of the work, played hard was when we were ten points down.” Buffalo whittled the lead to 48-44 at the half. Four times led by one at 6-5, after which LeMoyne never relinquished thereafter, the Bulls pulled to within two, the last occasion the lead. Five times after that, the Bulls, playing their last at 89-87, before the Dolphins strung eight consecutive home contest of the campaign, pulled to within two or points to break the game open.

We thought we were in the ballgame, and then we sat on our behinds and fell back.” The Bulls can’t afford to play relaxed ball Saturday when they face a much improved St. Francis, Pa. squad. ‘The only thing I know about them is that they’re big,’” observed Richardson. ‘They have basically the same club they had last year [when the Bulls defeated them 84-82 in Clark Hall].” “We’ll play like we‘re champions down there,” continued Richardson. “It’s just our nature to play hard in the tough games, and let up when we should win. We ususally play well on the road.” It will take a much-improved defensive performance Saturday if the Bulls plan on opening their season-ending road trip with their fourth win.

Buffalo, 16-10 overall this season, will face archrival Oswego tonight and tomorrow at the latter’s Golden Romney field house. The Bulls have lost three times at Oswego since they began varsity play. The Lakers, playoff contenders themselves at the beginning of the season, have fallen upon hard times lately. Their playoff chances can probably be described as slim after losses to St. Anselm’s (11-3) and New England (6-5) last weekend. Oswego also defeated American International by 7-1. Oswego sports information director Ross Aldrich asserted that the Lakers had not been handicapped due to the midseason loss of goaltender Pete Weimer. “I wouldn’t say that we have been hurt,” said Aldrich. “[Steve] Palusco’s a very good goaltender he’s small, but quick. Bcrgy’s [Paul Berghom] done a job for us, also,” Aldrich added. Bull coach Ed Wright was anxious to avoid an “El Foldo” act similar to the one occurring in last semester’s contest against the Lakers. The Bulls’ 7-2 lead with ten minutes to play was nearly lost, as Buffalo held on for an 8-6 win. “We’re working on our mental preparation as well as physical preparation this week,” said Wright. John Moore, who has started the last four games and owns a goals again?! average of 4.81, is the likely starter for this weekend’s contests. Paluseo, who relieved Weimer midway through the third period of the previous Bull-Laker encounter, will probably start for Oswego. Should Buffalo (5-0 in Division II) defeat the Lakers twice this weekend, they could receive a playoff seed as high as fifth or as low as eighth for the tournament. Vermont, winners of eleven of twelve Division II contests and defending champions, has sewn up the first seed for the playoff tourney. The Catamounts will probably be joined by Merrimack (14-5-2), Salem State (13-3) and Boston State (12-7-2) in the top four. Buffalo is currently battling Norwich (9-5-1), Army (8-2), St. Anselm’s (10-8), Massachusetts (9-6) and Williams (6-4-2) for one of the lower echelon berths. The playoffs will begin Saturday, March 2, with the top four seeds hosting the last four squads. The fate of the Buffalo-Western Michigan series, currently scheduled for March 1 and 2 at Holiday Twin Rinks, is uncertain as a result of a possible playoff bid. - � Student Union Board presents * Someone with van to help furniture.

No. 56 Was JFK murdered b v a political conspiracy? by Cliff Palefsky, Richard Deep and Gary Cohn Was Lee Harvey Oswald the lone assassin ofPresident John F. Kennedy? Did Oswald fire even one shot that day in Dallas? Did the Warren Commission attempt to ascertain the true facts behind the assassination of JFK and the subsequent murder of Oswald? An emphatic “NO” is the answer to these questions, according to David Williams and Harvfey Yazijian, members of the Assassination Information Bureau. Last week, they made a much-awaited return trip to Buffalo to present an intriguing series of facts, slides and film aimed at showing that the Warren Commission conclusions about the murder of President Kennedy are “political truth” or “plainly and simply lies.” The long-suppressed Abraham Zapruder film-clip of the Dallas shooting was the high point of the presentation as more than 1000 students packed into Diefendorf Hall last Wednesday night. motorcycle shields was skull fragment and blood that had been projected backwards after the President was hit. Hoover: ‘human error’ Mr. Williams then told the stunned crowd that when the Zapruder film was first released by the Warren Commission, two frames of the film clip were reversed. This strange mix-up in the film made it appear that President Kennedy jerked forward, rather than backwards, after being struck by the assassin’s bullet. When this re-arrangement of the frames was discovered, then FBI director J. Edgar Hoover attributed the alteration of the film-clip to “human error,” according to Mr. Williams. Mr. Williams then presented a slide taken of the 6th floor window of the Texas School Book Depository 2 Vi seconds before the fatal shots rang out. A photo-optic analysis of the window showed that the only thing in the window was a box, he maintained. Even if Oswald had been at that window firing at the President, he could never have fired three shots in the alloted time with Zapruder v. Warren Described as “twelve seconds of the most important piece of photographic evidence ever filmed,” the Zapruder film by itself unequivocally disproves the Warren Commission’s belief that Lee Harvey Oswald acted alone. President Kennedy’s head was thrown,,, violently backwards and to his left by a bullet that could only have been fired from in front of the Presidential motorcade, Mr. Williams explained as he ran and re-ran the film several times. The Zapruder film runs into a head-on conflict with the Warren Commission’s statement that all the shots had been fired from behind JFK, by Oswald from the 6th floor of the Texas School Book Depository. Mr. Williams then pointed out that the “path of the bullet which the Warren Commission contended did all the damage would have had to defy all the known laws of physics.” He said that if the Warren Commission was correct, the fatal bullet would have had to: 1) enter JFK’s back approximately five inches below the neck with an upward trajectory; 2) exit through JFK’s neck; 3) suspend itself in mid-air for 1 Vi seconds before making a right turn and striking Texas Governor John Connally in a downward trajectory; 4) continue on to fracture Mr. Connally’s fifth rib, break his wrist in seven places, and then 5) lodge itself in the Governor’s thigh. the alleged murder weapon, Mr. Williams continued. Running the Zapruder film Firm grip, broken wrist once again, hp explained; “Knowing that The Warren Commission explained the the camera moves at 18.3 frames per 1 Vi second gap between the time the bullet second, and that the entire assassination exited JFK and the time Governor took place in about 93 frames, the total Connally reacted as a “delayed reaction.” time was therefore less than six seconds.” Both Governor Connally and his physicians have strongly disputed the The assassination scenario delayed reaction theory. And the Zapruder Far from an expert shot, Lee Oswald film shows Mr. Connally firmly holding a could not have fired three shots in six ten-gallon hat in his right hand after the seconds, as the Warren Commission point where the Warren Commission reported, Mr. Williams declared. concluded his right wrist had been broken. Additionally, Oswald’s gun an Italian Mr. Williams went on to present further Mannlicher-Carcano had a loose scope evidence that JFK was not shot exclusively mounting. from the rear. The doctor who examined Sharpshooters with capabilities far the President immediately after the beyond Oswald’s tried to duplicate his shooting has stated that the hole in JFK’s alleged feat in an FBI re-enactment. They throat was an “entry hole,” not an exit were unsuccessful, shooting from a hole, as stated by the Warren Commission. position half as high as Oswald’s, at larger, Additionally, the policemen on non-moving targets, with as much time as motorcycles behind JFK’s limousine said needed to aim their first shot. Only one they believed they were shot until they agent could even fire the required three realized that the material on their rounds. And, Oswald had only eight-tenths of a second to aim his first shot, according to the Warren Commission. The Secret Service also attempted to recreate the assassination scenario from the sixth floor of the Book Depository where Oswald allegedly fired his first shot. They discovered that the view of JFK’s car from the depository window was substantially blocked by a large oak tree. Nitrates And when the Dallas police did a parafin test on Oswald, the tests on his cheeks proved negative, lending support to the theory that Oswald did not fire any rifle shots at JFK. A parafin test measures the amount of nitrates on a subject’s hands, cheeks, arms, etc. Mr. Williams pointed out that the small amounts of nitrates found on both of Oswald’s hands could have been caused by a handgun, but were more likely due to some other substance. Besides gunpowder, a positive measure on the parafin test will be yielded by such substances as orange peels, urine, tobacco and paint, according to a spokesman for the Buffalo police laboratories. And if Oswald had fired a handgun, it is extremely unlikely that the tests on both hands would be positive, Mr. Williams explained, because a handgun is not usually shot with both hands. However, the police lab spokesman Wednesday, 20 February 1974 who admitted that they were involved in an assassination conspiracy. Emanuel Santana admitted taking two shots at JFK. Immediately after filing his deposition, Mr. Santana fled the US, reportedly to South America. Communications link James Hines filed a deposition detailing his role as a “communications link” in the alleged assassination conspiracy. Mr. Hines is now being held against his will in an Air Force mental institution. During the presentation, Mr. Yazijian showed a slide of an individual, believed to be Mr. Hines, with a bulge in his back pocket that Mr. Hines has stated was a communications device. Mr. Garrison also invetigated the role played by David Ferry in the alleged conspiracy. Mr. Ferry, an experienced pilot, was doing “cancer research” at the time of the assassination. Reportedly, Mr. Ferry was not looking for a cure for cancer, but rather for a way to transfer the disease from one living organism to another. Immediately following a “leak” from Mr. Garrison’s office that Mr. Ferry might be indicted, Mr. Ferry was found dead in his home. Mr. Ferry’s coroner determined that Mr. Ferry had died of natural causes, and the coroner was later found dead , • — — cautioned that the parafin test was an extremely unreliable measure of whether the subject had indeed fired a gun. Specifically, he explained that bolt-loading guns, such as the Mannlicher-Carcano allegedly used by Oswald, would not necessarily result in a positive parafin test. The Buffalo police abandoned the parafin test after such tests on a subject shooting 100 rounds with a rifle failed to produce a positive measure. He explained that this could account for the absence of nitrates on Oswald’s cheeks. Mr. Williams then discussed former New Orleans District Attorney Jim Garrison’s 1967 grand jury investigation of the JFK murder, the likelihood that Oswald was really a US intelligence agent, and the mysterious deaths that have struck many material witnesses and probing journalists. Mr. Williams explained that in 1967, when Mr. Garrison was presenting evidence to the grand jury, he obtained depositions (sworn statements) from two individuals himself. Additionally, two suicide notes were allegedly left by Mr. Ferry both completely typed, including the signature, Mr. Garrison had been investigating the possibility that Mr. Ferry had been hired to use his expert pilot skills to help members of the alleged conspiracy flee the country. When Oswald was arrested in Dallas, Mr. Ferry’s library card was in his possession. Mr. Williams then shocked the crowd by reminding them that Jack Ruby had died of cancer, and that Mr. Ruby had showed no signs of the disease two months before his death. Mr. Williams explained that Mr. Garrison’s investigation was shackled by a lack of cooperation and constant harassment. For instance, Mr. Garrison’s request for extradition of a key witness was denied. Extradition requests are rarely turned down, Mr. Williams explained. Additionally, Mr. Garrison’s top aide leaked evidence about the investigation prematurely, hindering Mr. Garrison’s — —continued from page 1— �/ finance.” In 1972, 5Vi million dollars from oil companies was donated to Mr. Nixon’s campaign. Sen. McGovernwent on to say, “This includes the crisp, one hundred dollar bills used to pay Watergate burglars.” Of the Presidency, en< New stewardship “The power to remedy these problems lies within Congress,” Sen. McGovern stated. “Through legislation, Congress has the power to dismantle the power concentration within the oil industry and initiate federal control. It has the potential to free candidates from heavy reliance on such companies for campaign funds, and it has the power to initiate exploration and development of other sources of energy, such as solar energy, and coal reserves. Coal reserves are presently utilized by oil companies, but Congress can break up this monopoly,” Sen. McGovern added. “This energy crisis may act as a catalyst for new stewardship in natural .resources.” The senator believes the American people have the capacity to turn adversity into strength and Congress can still “shine sunshine into dark corners,” if it would reassert itself, demand public disclosure of usipalp funds end budgets as well m encouraging public participation in tfee adpauiatiqn of candidates. Sen. McGovern quoted Boss Tweed as saying “1 don’t care who does the electin’, as long as I can do the nominatin’.” “There is too much concentration of power in economics and the executive branch,” Sen. McGovern concluded. figures,” Sen. McGovern related. “The administration has committed a crime by failing to take the responsibility to control the oil industry.” The oil industry has been “pampered,” and their tax loopholes have been “overlooked,” added Sen. McGovern. Last year, Mobil and Texaco Oil Companies paid 3% of their income taxes, and Exxon’s profits totaled 81%. To these statistics, Sen. McGovern replied, “It’s no wonder that Exxon no longer uses the name ‘Humble’.” Sen. McGovern continued. “The administration has George McGovern been in agreement with the oil industry from the very beginning.” When asked by the public ’what can be done?’, the administration simply told the public to face the higher prices. No action was taken against the price rise. “This is not hard to understand,” Mr. McGovern contended “as one reviews the Nixon campaign’s source of JFK killed by conspiracy? chance of obtaining indictments. Mr. Garrison himself was indicted on charges of extortion, and later acquitted in a jury trial. D.A. Garrison: ‘burned’ ML Yazijian later told The Spectrum that he had spoken with Mr. Garrison recently and that he (Mr. Garrison) was very reluctant to get involved with another investigation because of the way he was “burned.” Mr. Yazijian added that Mr. Garrison probably knows more about what really happened than anyone else alive. Turning to the strange events surrounding Jack Ruby, Mr. Yazijian said that Dorothy Kilgalen, the only journalist granted a private interview with Mr, Ruby, reportedly told friends following the interview that she would “break the whole story” within five days. Within five days, Ms. Kilgalen was dead, of an apparent suicide. When Earl Warren and Gerald Ford went to Dallas to interview Jack Ruby for the Warren Commission, Mr. Ruby allegedly told them: “If you take me to Washington, I’ll tell you all I know. I’m afraid to talk to you here in Dallas.” According to Mr. Williams, Mr. Warren then told Mr. Ruby that if he was afraid, then he shouldn’t say anything. Mr. Williams maintained that five journalists were seen speaking to Jack Ruby the night before he shot Oswald. Shortly thereafter, Mr. Ruby was also seen speaking with Dallas police officer J.D. Tippett. Mr. Tippett was also shot on November 22, 1963, allegedly by Oswald shortly after the JFK murder. Hysterical witness Eyewitnesses to the Tippett slaying have described Mr. -T%)pett’s murderer as “stocky with bushy hair,” according to Mr. Yazijian. Lee Harvey Oswald was 5’9”, 160 pounds, and had a receding hairline. Page two . The one woman who identified Oswald as the assailant was reported to have been hysterical at the time of the shooting. Furthermore, she twice failed to identify Oswald at a police line-up. Mr. Williams also pointed out that Officer Tippett was the only meber of the Dallas police force not to radio in his location at 1 p.m. He was shot at 1:16 p.m. Mr. Williams spoke about a picture of Oswald that received widespread distribution in the national media. In the picture, Oswald is shown with the alleged murder weapon, a handgun and two Pro-Communist newspapers. That picture of Oswald is a composite photo, Mr. Williams charged. Pointing to the shadows the shadow that Oswald in the photo cast went one way and the shadow of the stairs he was standing next to went the other way Mr. Williams siad that there “would have had to be two suns in the sky” for the picture to be legitimate. — - FBI agent Oswald? When Oswald was shown that picture, he is reported to have said: “That’s my head, but that’s not my body.” Mr, Williams then proceeded to show that Oswald’s chin was markedly different from the “chin" in the alleged composite photo. Oswald’s pro-Communist leanings, as reported by the Warren Commission, were also challenged by Mr. Williams and Mr. Yazijian. They claimed that Oswald was in fact a FBI agent, and that he had also worked for various other US intelligence agencies. Oswald was on the FBI payroll at the time of the assassination, according to reports from the Texas District attorney, Mr. Williams stated. Mr. Williams offered evidence that suggests that “Lee Harvey Oswald had friends in high places.” He supported this contention by detailing Oswald’s actions after he left the US to defect to the Soviet The Spectrum . Wednesday, 20 February 1974 Favors impeachment Concerning the office of the presidency, Sen. McGovern stated, “I believe the best way Congress can begin to reform the present administration is to bring the President to trial in the Senate. Even if I were a strong defender of Mr. Nixon, I would still say the method of impeachment is the way to clear the air and clarify the matter." When asked whether he favored the ousting of President Nixon, Sen. McGovern clearly responded that he would not make any judgment until the president is actually brought to trial in the Senate through the process of impeachment. “That would be giving you my verdict before the trial,” he replied. During the question and answer period, Sen. McGovern answered several other questions concerning subjects such as women’s rights, amnesty, Social Security, and his 1976 political plans. Concerning amnesty, the senator believes “the Congress has' no power in this decision. The decision lies entirely with the president.” To the question concerning his future plans, he jokingly answered, “Last year, Tehgaged in a struggle for the 1974 U.S. Senate in South Dakota, and I think that’s enough for me right now.” —continued on page 2-~ • .•. ... Union. Oswald, he contends, went to the US embassy in Russia and denounced his US. citizenship, informing the embassy that he intended to tell the Russians all he knew with regard to U.S. radar installations on the west coast. While in the Marines, Oswalk had reportedly received security clearance on various projects, including the U-2 flights. Back in the U.S.A After Oswald married, he requested permission to return to the U.S. Not only did the embassy arrange for a one-way passport, but they loaned him the money for airfare. Once back in America, Oswald applied for another passport, even though his other one was revoked. His application was immediately approved and a new passport was sent out within 24 hours. To further strengthen his point, Mr, Williams informed the audience that each time Oswald was arrested in New Orleans, he requested to speak to the FBI. Mr. Williams and Mr. Yazijian continued to impress the SRO crowd with their overwhelming array of facts. They stated that in an interview with CBS newscaster Walter Cronkite, former President Lyndon Johnson is reported to have expressed grave doubts about the Warren Commission finding that Lee Harvey Oswald acted alone. President Johnson later asked CBS to delete that statement from the interview, and CBS agreed for “national security reasons.” Sealed until 2039 National security is also the justification for holding a number of files until the year 2039, These files, according to Mr. Williams, detail Oswald's relationship with the U.S. intelligence agencies. Conclusive evidence has been almost impossible to obtain because 15 of the 18 material witnesses (those interviewed by the Warren Commission) are now dead. Based on their average life expectancy, the odds against this happening are one hundred thousand trillion to one, according to an actuary for The London Times. Of the 15 who died, five were murdered, three died in motor vehicle accidents, three from suicide, two of natural causes, one from a slit throat, and one from a karate chop on the neck. Asked whether he wds afraid of a similar “mysterious death,” Mr. Williams explained that death seemed to follow material Witnesses and those who sought information that they were not supposed to have, not those who publicized the Warren Commission inconsistencies. Warren, Ford and . . Jaworski In an interview with The Spectrum, Mr. Williams and Mr. Yazijian explained that their main function is to generate questions in people’s minds about the validity of the Warren Commission report. After nine months of extensive research, they began a lecture tour of college campuses. Mr. Williams said he hoped to expand the presentation to the national media and government sources within the near future. However, he explained that the national press has been afraid to touch the issue because of the possible effect on the “status quo,” and because of the prestige of Earl Warren, Iqead of the Commission and former Chief Justice of the Supreme Court. Gerald Ford and Leon Jaworski also served on the Warren Commission. Mr. Yazijian is currently working on a book that will include the visual evidence presented in Diefendorf last week. That book will contain the‘controversial Zapruder film clip, displayed . frame-by-frame. And so it goes. The debate rages on Who killed JFK? �Gubernatorial candidate ‘Committed to make tax program fairer’ going to not charge people for improving their houses as far as property taxes for five years. by Richard Lapping Spectrum Staff Writer Howard J. Samuels announced his candidacy last week for the for Democratic nomination Governor: of New York. His Western New York campaign officially began last Thursday at a breakfast with Buffalo labor leaders, followed by a press conference at the Statler Hilton 'Z- -Hotel. Mr. Samuels stepped down as chairman of the Offtrack Betting Corporation two weeks ago. He is “totally convinced that this State has been mismanaged.” “Committed to make the tax program fairer,” Mr. Samuels explained his reasons and plans Howard Samuels system: “This year New York State led the nation in taxes. Taxes went up $100 per person. This state government pays the smallest of proportion total government costs of any state in the nation,” he declared. He released the first of two position papers on the subject of property tax reform: “What I am trying to do is give preferential treatment to both renters and homeowners on property tax by moving property taxes to classifications rather than a valuation. Fifteen other states in the nation do it, and I want to move that to the state of New York.” Under present our program, anybody improving their house is discouraged from doing it because they immediately get taxed,” Mr. Samuels continued. “It pays for people to let their houses degrade. This encourages a blighting of neighborhoods. 1 want to move it around and encourage them to make improvements in their housing.” This is Mr. Samuels’ fourth for the Democratic Gubernatorial nomination in 12 years. For the first time, however, he is widely believed to be the front-runner. “I think the most important thing is to retire Malcolm Wilson’s kind of partisan politics and to have a Democratic victory in the State of New York,” he added. “I’m looking for some basis of balance to the ticket, Democratic with qualifications for office being the number one perogative that the decision is made on.” attempt Legalized gambling Mr. Samuels aid that he had commitments for major labor support all over the state. “The labor unions as a whole think that I’m going to be working in the interest of the wage earner, which is my total campaign.” Mr. Samuels feels that the New York State Lottery 'is badly run, essentially “regressive and taxation.” Organized crime has its biggest income in New York from numbers. Mr. Samuels termed it a S600 million business. “1 am for the legalization of numbers. I want it run by government. 1 want it run like a tough business, but I want the profits back in the community.” If elected, Mr. Samuels will regulatory on the take commission, “which has operated to serve special interest instead of public interest.” He plans to reform the New York State Mr. Samuels Legislature. emphasized the importance of changing the way campaigns and parties are financed: “1 want New York State to be the leader in taking the influence of money out of the American political system.” Mr. Samuels feels it is most important to raise the level of talent in the executive branch. He wants to open the government to Fourth try Mr. Samuels plans to get at the “windfall profits that are made by the undervaluation of land” and the “windfall profits made on zoning changes.” He also plans to “provide a court system to take the politics out of assessment.

Supported by Councilman Price, the Parks Department is asking for an initial $85,000 allocation for the next year. Although the budget is still pending formal approval by the Common Council and Mayor Makowski, Mr. Price felt the budget could pass by proving the park “is an exciting thing for the Mayor to want.” He said a new budget would be submitted each successive year and money would be granted, “depending on whether they can come up with exciting concepts for the rest of the park." A group of enthusiastic students and community residents will pool their imaginations and resources with City Hall to transform 26 acres of empty land into a comprehensive public park. Situated behind Bennett High School adjacent to the LaSalle Quarry, the prospective park will be named after Joe McCarthy, the former New York Yankees manager who resides in the Buffalo area. The idea to design the park was conceived last spring in Beverly Paigen’s Environmental Action class. Several of Dr. Paigen’s students discovered that the vacant area in the University vicinity had been earmarked for a park by the city, and decided to To organize the workload, Dr. Paigen’s group submit their own plans for an innovative residential has divided into two sub-committees. The first will park. While other local groups had previously deal primarily with designing the upper third of the expressed interest in the land, only the Kensington park, a ten-acre area which includes the play area, Little League Baseball Organization had succeeded in shelter house, basketball and tennis courts, and the pressuring the city to build four baseball fields on picnic area. This planning group is particularly the lot. However, no attempt was made at further anxious to design a playground or “tot lot” which development.

As New York State undergoes voluntary gas rationing, Student Association (SA) is aiming to help alleviate the tight fuel situation by organizing a computerized car pool. Any student who needs a ride to campus or can offer one should fill out the form in today’s The Spectrum and return it to the SA office at 205 Norton Hall.

Mr. Samek will then phone those students Who have cars to supply them with the phone numbers of students who need rides. Wanted: staff help The idea for a student car pool program was introduced by a number of letters from University students to SA President Jon Dandes. Mr. Dandes then turned the letters over to Mr. Samek, who hopes the car pool program will be in full swing within two weeks.

In anticipation of problems like this, Mr. Samek has included a disclaimer at the bottom of the car pool application. Mr. Samek’s staff is optimistic: “We are sure that our program will work because, although we are coming from different places, we are all going to the same place. We are a homogeneous group with similar interests.” Although this optimism flies in the face of dozens of car pool flops in Buffalo and across the country, Mr. Samek docs not flinch at that thought.

SIGNATURE I �t ~ ' * r v... •• ■1V Assassination coverup? There is not yet enough evidence to prove that President John F. Kennedy was the victim of an assassination that conspiracy. But the Warren Commission's contention Lee Harvey Oswald acted alone in killing President Kennedy has been exposed as political truth by various researchers, including the ones who have twice visited this campus. — — The evidence is indisputable. The Warren Commission concluded that all the shots were fired from behind JFK from a sixth-story window by Oswald. But filmed evidence clearly shows that President Kennedy's head was thrown backward by a bullet that must have been fired from in front of his motorcade. The frames of the original film, however, were mysteriously altered to show Kennedy's head being thrown forward instead. Also, according to the Warren version, Oswald would have to have fired three shots in six seconds, a feat FBI rifle experts could not re-enact. The incredible string of deaths of witnesses to the assassination and those investigating it can only fuel the conspiracy theories. Voluminous evidence makes clear that the Warren Commission began with the conclusion that Oswald acted alone, then tried to build a supporting case, ignoring contradictory evidence along the way. Whether evidence was altered and suppressed in a deliberate coverup is not known. But it is obvious the Warren Commission did not want to find an assassination conspiracy. This presumably would have shaken the faith of the country by revealing that an American Presidential election could be invalidated by a politically-motivated murder conspiracy. 'I WARN YOU, RICHARD — YOU'RK TRYING MY FATUNCtl' Outside I/Dojcing In They landed at Buffalo International Airport and took a cab to the State University of Buffalo campus, where preliminary reports indicated Washington was in hiding. “When do we get laid, Jim, huh, when do we get laid?” Ron asked. He’d been watching all the old Sean Connery films while his boss watched Patton and John Wayne movies. “Cut it out, Ron, we have work to do,” Bond replied icily. “A hell of a way to come out of retirement,” Bond thought. It had been six years since his last mission (George Lazenby, Roger Moore and that last little abortion with Jill St. John didn’t count) and he was being ordered to find a politician who reportedly could not tell a lie to head a public relations campaign for a President who didn’t know the difference between truth and falsehood. They got out at Norton Union and headed to the Rathskellar, where Washington was supposed to spend a great deal of time. “What about that one over there, Jim, the redhead with the big knockers? Just get me that one and I’ll be happy,” Ron begged, drooling. Bond saw his opportunity to get rid of the bloody fool once and for all. Straightening his black knit tie he walked up to the redhead with a quaint Americanism, Bond the big knockers mused and said his famous line that used to land more women into bed than “Of course I’ll still respect you,” the immortal line; “My name’s Bond, James Bond.” Bond had not anticipated the social changes of the past few years. “Fuck off you male chauvinist pig,” she shouted, emphasizing her point with a quick knee to Bond’s groin. Gritting his teeth, Bond pointed Ron out to her and said he was a local Assemblyman who planned to vote against the Equal Rights Amendment. The redhead with the big knockers went off eagerly and Bond walked off to the Rat. He made his way to a table, choking on the grease-laden air and ordered a drink; “A vodka martini, shaken, not stirred, very cold, Wolfschmidt’s will do.” “If you want that, man, you’ll have logo to the Tiffin Room. How about a beer?” answered the woman behind the counter. But then Bond’s attention was arrested by a man in a powdered wig pulling a splinter out of his hoagie with cheese. to be continued by Clem Colucci “Good morning, Moneypenny,” said the tall, dark-haired man in the dark blue suit, cream-colored shirt and black knit tie as he tossed his hat faultlessly onto the hatrack. “M wants you right away, James,” said Moneypenny, barely suppressing a violent urge to jump on the star of the British Secret Service, rip off his dark blue suit, cream-colored shirt and black knit tie and assault him right in front of the door to M’s office. Secret Agent 007, James Bond, walked into M’s office and took the chair the crusty old admiral indicated. “Bond,” M said, “we’re putting you on loan to the United States government.” “What’s that sir?” asked the incredulous Bond. M’s behavior had grown increasingly erratic over the past few years. The old man must be getting senile. M continued; “We’ve just gotten a coded message from Wilson at CIA. If you’ve been following the American press you know their President blast, what’s the fellow’s name again?” “Nixon?” Bond volunteered. “Oh yes, that’s the bloke. He’s in trouble. Nobody believes him anymore.” “No one believes Edward Heath anymore either,” Bond observed. “That’s beside the point,” M snapped with obvious irritation. “Here are your orders. There’s a flight to the States in the hour. Be on it.” Several hours later, Bond was on another flight from Washington to, of all places, Buffalo, New York. He had been briefed thoroughly in Washington, reinforcing his belief that the intelligence operations of the free world are all manned by lunatics. He had been called in to restore the President’s ill fated “Operation Candor” by finding the one man who could pull it off George Washington. “Bloody idiots,” Bond muttered darkly as he reread the details of his assignment What’s that, Jim?” asked the man beside — When one looks how the Kennedy assassination changed the course of history, it is not hard to find plausible motives for a conspiracy. Many elements were alienated at President Kennedy's 1963 test-ban treaty with the Soviet Union and proclaimed intention to withdraw American troops from Vietnam. Many in the CIA were bitter following the Bay of Pigs fiasco, and Oswald’s strange Soviet and FBI lend credence to a and subsequent murder connections conspiracy theory. If Kennedy had lived, he would have been many believe re-elected in 1964 and de-escalated the Vietnam War. Since the Dallas shooting, this country has seen 10 years of war in Indochina and five years of Richard at — — — — Nixon. evidence which Enough evidence has been presented to directly contradicts the Warren Commission’s findings warrant an immediate reopening of the investigation into President Kennedy's assassination. President Johnson never believed that Oswald acted alone, and Robert Kennedy whose murder also raises many unanswered questions wanted to reopen the inquiry if he were elected President. Gerald Ford and Leon Jaworski served on the Warren Commission, which casts doubt on the Vice-President and — — — — the man investigating Watergate. most disturbing fact is that despite the documentary evidence, the national media has completely ignored these vital questions. Whether this news blackout is due to skepticism, designed to protect men's reputations, or simply to deny that a conspiracy to assassinate an American President could succeed, the media may be acquiescing in a coverup that would dwarf Watergate. The contradictory anyone who has seen the evidence is overwhelming documentary and filmed evidence has come away convinced. The media can no longer look the other way; the investigation must be reopened. Although the findings of the Warren Commission have been substantially disproven, it seems the murder of a President is still being covered up. But the — - — - him “Nothing,” Bond replied. “Why they had to send this bloody Nazi idiot Zeigler along I'll never understand,” he thought. It was bad enough that he was being sent to Buffalo to find George Washington, but to have this horse’s ass of a PR man along was intolerable.

A new drug law. designed to protect and inform the consumer, is now in effect. The new law “requires pharmacies to post a list of 150 of the most used prescription drugs.” Headed by Richard Futyma, a team of researchers from Western New York Public Interest Research Group (WNYP1RG) recently conducted a survey “in order to determine the extent to which drugstores were complying with the law, and to sample the price variations among stores.” Eight pharmacies located near this University were chosen as a sample, including: Lee’s Drugstore, University Plaza; Herzog’s Drugstore, 3168 Main Street; Leader Drugstore, 400 Kenmore Ave.; Lincoln Park Pharmacy, 540 Niagara Falls Blvd.; Delhurst Pharmacy, 695 Kenmore Ave.; Varsity Drugs, 3378 Bailey Ave.; and Highgate Professional Pharmacy, 3435 Bailey Ave. Pricing data WNYPIRG randomly selected ten drug items from the list to indicate each store’s general pricing trend. According to Mr. Futyma, the federal law “does not specify by name which drugs it must be the 150 most are to be listed commonly dispensed by the individual drugstore.” There are “really only about 100' different drugs listed. The rest represent varying sizes and quantities of the same items,” he explained. The average difference between the highest and lowest prices charged for one of these ten items was $1.49, although some varied by as much as $2.86. “In many instances it would be profitable for the shopper to do some price comparison between stores if he is interested in saving money,” Mr. Futyma advised consumers. ... Stiff fines Most of the stores had their lists posted in a “visible location,” which Mr. Futyma defined as “an arbitrary term. If you could walk around and easily find it by yourself, we labeled it visible.” A store could be stiffly penalized if the Board of Pharmacy pulled a surprise inspection and the sign were not posted, he added. “The price shown on the list for a organized a consistent pricing certain drug does not necessarily reflect the pharmacists before the new law went into effect price which would be paid for that drug in scale order to eliminate the cut-throat on in a size and quantity different from that might otherwise result. which are competition the list,” Mr. Futyma explained.

At WJRR, they will play what you want to hear if they own it. W1RR is willing to please. WIRR is the University’s dorm radio station, broadcasting from Clement Hall to all the Main Campus dormitories. Presently, WIRR can’t afford to run telephone lines to the North Campus that would enable Amherst dorm residents to pick up the station. Next year it plans to move its studio to the Ellicott Complex. Funded by the Inter-Residence Council (IRC), student-run WIRR provides an alternative to increasingly commercial rock music stations. It is a free-form radio station, with no censorship, and has been broadcasting for three years. Ego trip “Anyone can become a disc jockey for WIRR,” according to general manager Sparky Alzamora. “It’s fun, and it’s an ego trip hearing yourself on the air.” Although everyone has to engineer their own shows, no previous experience in radio is necessary. It’s not hard to learn. Ian Pauli is the chief engineer, the man responsible for putting things together. He is considered a great asset to the staff. All students are welcome to join the WIRR staff, not only speech and communications majors. There is a waiting list at the present time of would-be disc jockeys to get times on the air. The DJ’s have access to a new record library. The installation of the library was delayed until the directors found a system that would combat the frequent ripping-off of albums. DJ’s also bring their own records to the studio to play on their shows. The most successful disc jockeys are scheduled for the prime time weekday night slots by Jerry Duci, the station’s program director Progressive rock Most of the shows feature rock music, but there are occasional variations from rock fare, such as comedy shows and classical music. There is an interview show, and special events every Thursday night. A special on UFO’s will take place sometime in me near future, whicn will include a discussion with a man who claims he has taken pictures of flying saucers, and with several University astronomy professors. It will be videotaped by Act Five, the campus video group. WIRR sends out flyers for publicity, but mostly relies on word-of-mouth. They also provide the music at IRC beer blasts, with the hope that people will like them and start listening. “It is just a matter of time before WIRR is ' NYSA New student group formed State legislation by unifying college conference.

They [musicians] appreciate the value of working in concert.” by Jay Boyar Spectrum Arts Editor Kenneth Mars is a fringe celebrity. He’s one of and yet, those people who is, essentially, famous his name. few know people actually very Through the years he’s popped up in a few films and television programs. In 1967 he made 40 commercial appearances for a variety of products. Perhaps be is a little better known in Buffalo than in most places, as he is currently starring in the title role of Studio Arena Theater’s current production, Flint. Talking to a “fringe” celebrity is, as you might expect, not much different from talking to a celebrity per se, or to a “regular” person; interviewing such a man, however, is tricky. Noclear and glossy picture of his personality existed in my mind he’s no Steve McQueen or Jack Benny. 1 Yet some things must be taken for granted had seen him act in several vehicles. The Producers was a zany film with Zero Mostcl and Gene Wilder, in it, Mars played a comically crazy Nazi. In He and She on T and V he played Fireman Harry. In Flint, he is no fireman rather, he is an old Anglican vicar accused of starting fires. - - - — From Mats “I think it [Flint] is essentially a religious play,” says Mars. “I think it would be putting something in the play to say that Flint finds God in the end . It’s a play about the virtuous people and what a pain in the ass they are.” Vicar Flint is a devout agnostic who sees his religion as an impediment to happiness. What does Mars think? “I’m so far away from religion! It’s bullshit, daddy worship.” He thinks, and softens his statement by adding; “I guess it can be a wonderful comfort to some people, but not to me.” No theologian, but an experienced and talented actor, Mars seems at home when he comments on his craft; “A play is really a group of people performing in concert; it’s the sum total of all those - . . Faring better than some of his fellow actors in of Flint, Mars brought what he calls a “full concept” his role to the production. One particularly effective piece of business he uses is to pull from his picket a huge pack of industrial matches, light his cigar, and place the lighted match back in his pocket. Rerun In my review of the play, I said; As his name is Flint, and as he is under suspicion of arson at the time, the move is appropriate, but as it is done in a very off-hand manner with the dialogue kept as the center of interest, it is a very good and, yes, subtle move. All through rehearsal, this match business gave him no trouble. Then came the play’s preview night: fire. His pocket smoked and blazed. Turning to the avjdience, he explained, “I’m on fire!” Not the greatest ad-lib in the world, we’ll both admit. Needless to say, Mars now keeps a wet sponge in his foil-lined pocket. Dark Towers is Mars’ next film, with director Arthur Penn (Bonnie and Clyde, Little Big Man) and starring Gene Hackman. “Gene plays a cop, for a change,” ’ he smiles. In it, Mars plays a hero-worshipper who runs a modern detective agency. Hackman is a maverick “obsessed with finding the truth.” Rambling about life in general. Mars suggests: “One of the things I’ve found is that so many people 1 don’t think it’s just actors, but all people bring so much personal pain to their work that it negates the work . . People don’t come to terms with this pain. I’ve found this is true a lot in the theater. I’ve spent a lot of money getting my head fixed so I can work.” Up until February 24, Mars continues working with director Warren Enters in Flint by David Mercer, From February 28 to March 24, Studio Arena will present There’s a Girl in My Soup, starring Van Johnson. - - . j HAIRSfYLiNG Barber Get your tickets ™ AY!!! ! ®J$k accredited University of Arizona GUADALAJARA SUMMER SCHOOL offers July I-August 10. 1974 courses in ESL, bilingual education, Spanish, anthropology, art, folk dance and folk music, geography, government and history.

The above is an excerpt from the famous Cole Porter song, Anything Goes, from the musical comedy by the same name. Panic Theater will present Anything Goes free of charge on March 8 and 9 in the Fillmore Room. Panic Theater, a club funded by Student Association and the Inter-Residence Council, was organized to provide a musical comedy production each semester for the University community. With a cast and crew of over 40, Anything Goes promises to be Panic Theater’s boldest and brassiest production to date. The score includes Cole Porter’s “Night and Day,” “I Get A Kick Out of You,” “You’re the Top,” “It’s Delovely,” “Blow Gabriel Blow,” and many others. programs, and other miscellaneous show’s orchestrations. Musical Director Mayda Katz emphasized To alleviate the financial the need for an orchestra: ‘The the music problems incurred by their latest score is fantastic production, members of the cast ranges from the electrifying and crew will be canvassing the “Blow Gabriel Blow” to the campus in search of $1 booster beautifully serene “Night and donations. In return for the Day.” Working without an donation, the name of the booster orchestra is equivalent to painting will appear in the show’s program. a mural with one color. Porter’s Director Judy Weinberg explained music deserves an orchestra, and the need for the extra funds; in order to pay for the orchestrations, we need money.” “Anything Goes is a period play Members cast have a play of the early ’30’s.

We would rather get our money from those who can afford a donation,” he said. ‘In this manner, our needs are met and our doors are open to all, which is one of the basic philosophies of Panic Theater.” � Student Union Boord presents � - - — Woe is me Panic Theater has been plagued with financial woes since its inception in January 1971. Producer Judy Kravitz explained the problem: “We work under several severe handicaps, the major problem being the lack of an auditorium suitable for the performance of large-scale musical comedy productions. We are budgeted at $1200 each semester, yet almost all of it must be used for payment of royalties and the stage, sound, and lighting rental. This leaves next to nothing for costumes, sets, props, make-up. MCA Recording Artists LYNYRD SKYNYRD -»i.

Led by Darnell Montgomery’s sparkling defensive work, the Bulls came from behind to post an 83-82 decision over the Knights from Geneseo. Geneseo, now 12-6 on the campaign, was led by Harry Ward. Averaging 22 points per game, Ward is a product of Buffalo’s East High. In fact, all five Geneseo starters were from the Buffalo area, leading an observer of the game to think this was the Knights’ home game, not Buffalo’s. The 6-2 forward burned Bull forwards Jim Randall and Horace Brawlcy for 12 points in the first half, leading the visitors to a 4541 halftime margin. The Knights came out smoking in the second half, stringing the first six points of the period together for a ten point lead at 5141, the greatest margin of the game for either team. It was here that Buffalo head coach Lee Richardson inserted Montgomery to stop Ward, and the move seemed to turn things around for the Bulls. Defensive play contagious Montgomery’s defensive play was infectious, as the Bulls slowly cut away at Geneseo’s lead. ‘-Darnell played better than anyone else we had out there,” assessed Richardson. “1 don’t think anyone else played to the maximum of their ability. [MikeJJones and [Otisjdorne were both inconsistent.” Buffalo took the lead for the first time since <he opening moments of the game at 62-61, outscoring Geneseo 21-10 and shutting off the Knights inside game. Geneseo regained the lead and held on for most of the game. However, with forty seconds showing oh the clock, Horace Brawley gave the Bulls an 81-80 lead. Brawley, who scored Buffalo’s last six points, then put away both ends of a one-and-one situation from the foul line to ice' the win for the Bulls. Domzalski, Horne pace Bulls Gary Domzalski and Otis Horne led the Bulls in scoring with 16 points apiece, and Brawley chipped in with 15 points and 11 rebounds. Ward wound up with 18 points, all but four coming before Montgomery entered the contest for the last 17 minutes. “I thought we played pretty good defense the last 25•minutes,” remarked Richardson. In the foul-plagued Junior varsity preliminary, both teams finished the contest with six players as the Junior Knights held on for a 98-93 decision over the Baby Bulls. The contest, with 64 fouls whistled including a record 37 against the Baby Bulls, featured five players fouling out and a brief skirmish between Buffalo’s John Rufflno and Geneseo’s Mike Savanovitch. Both players were ejected from the game. Tonight, the Bulls face LeMoyne in their final home contest of the season before departing on a four game road trip to end the Bulls longest season. The Baby Bulls, now 4-11 on the year, face the LeMoyne JV in the preliminary at 6:30. *Bulls matmen add two more victories to their 20-1 record ASHLAND, Ohio The ability to come from behind helped Buffalo’s wrestling Bulls defeat host Ashland College and Cincinnati Saturday. Buffalo downed Ashland 25-13 and whipped the Bearcats by 21-12. A fourth team, southern powerhouse, East Carolina, was scheduled to wrestle, but had to - Nowakowki, who has had a lot of trouble lately, looked better than he has in a long time. The senior co-capatin leveled Ashland’s Ed Hissa to clinch the Eagle contest. Jerry will hopefully improve further if he can return to his normal weight class (158) for the post season tournaments. Freshman Bruce Hadsell finished with a 8-7 win over Cincinnati’s Jake Hollowasy. Hadsell was behind 7-2 before starting a comeback with a takedown. Oddly enough, takedowns are the weakest part of the youngster’s otherwise strong repertoire. Ed Hamilton, who is even worse on his feet than is Hadsell, decisioned Ashland’s Eli Whitten after securing a takedown in the third period. It was a strange day for Ed the “Scrambler,” as he got a takedown, beat someone without pinning them, and tried some conventional pinning holds in addition to his own very special variety. withdraw due to traveling difficulties. The two wins finalized an eye-opening 22-1 dual meet record, by far the best in Buffalo history. The one loss was to Clarion State, the only opponent that could be termed “super.” However, fourth ycjjr coach Ed Michael’s gTapplers deflated a dozen Or so excellent squads, a slate few teams can match. Wally Davis and Jerry Nowakowski had key pins while Bruce Hadsell and Ed Hamilton chipped in with important decisions in Saturday’s action. In all four matches the Bull victors were at a decided disadvantage before turning things around. Pavis was losing to Cincinnati’s Darrel Lash, by a point with Lash riding him out in the final period. Lash then hurt his ankle and shortly after the Whitten's analysis perfect Whitten, who upset Hamilton in a tournament resumption of the action, Davis reversed the positions and pinned his Bearcat opponent with a two years ago, was wrestling the last home match of his career after a 17-1 season and an All Ammerican half nelson. accolade. According to Hamilton, Whitten had the bout analyzed perfectly. “He told me that he’d have Tenacious ride Davis was convinced that the injury had very to get me on my back or I’d have to take him little to do with his comeback, “He would have died down.” “Crazy Ed” admitted it was about time he anyway,” said the muscular 158 pounder. Until the took somebody down. The second season (post season tournament reversal, Davis’ problem had been freeing his legs from Lash’s tenacious ride. It seems a simple circuit) starts this weekend at the New York State headlock was the key to that. “When I grabbed his Invitational held in Rochester Tech’s Clark Gym. head, he’d either have had it ripped off or let go of The Bulls took fourth as a team in this event last my legs,” Davis commented, jokingly. year, with their second stringers participating. This For Davis, it was a happy end to what had year the starters will be entered, and Buffalo would started off as a frustrating season. Similarly, have to be considered the favorite for the team title. ten The Spectrum . Wednesday, 20 February 1974 . Hockey Brockport downed hy exploding Bulls Exploding after playing five consecutive periods of subpar hockey, the Bulls scored seven goals in the third period Sunday night to whip Brockport, 10-5. Buffalo had edged Ithaca at Holiday Twin Rinks, 4-3, the previous evening. The Bulls entered the third period Sunday trailing Brockport 4-3. The Eagles, who had been drubbed, 13-1 by the Bulls last semester, had fashioned their advantage by scoring three times in a span of two and one-half minutes, with the final tally just eight seconds before the second period ended. “I wouldn’t say that our guys were shocked,” reported left wing Tom Schratz. “We just decided that we had to go out there and score goals. We always seem to play as well as the team we face,” Schratz added. The Bulls, paced by center Doug Bowman’s hat trick, scored six times in the final stanza against starting Eagle netminder Mike Raponi before he was replaced by Mike Broadhead. Buffalo outshot Brockport, 20-6, in the final period, tallying on half of their shots against Raponi. Rick Wolstenholme and John Stranges (team leader with 61 points) each tallied two goals for Buffalo. Kaminska hurt Left wing Jack Kaminska, who had scored 16 points in 17 contests this season, was lost indefinitely when he suffered a leg injury against the Eagles. Kaminska had been used on the Bulls’ fourth line and had replaced Tom Schratz on the Bulls’ first line in power play situations. Mike Kelly’s deflection with just four minutes to play Saturday night gave the Bulls the victory against the pesky Ithacans. Buffalo has now been involved in consecutive one-goal games against the Bombers after whipping Ithaca, 7-3, earlier in the season. Goaltender Bill Morant, who joined the Bombers at midseason, foiled several good scoring chances (including Rick Wolstenholme’s third period penalty shot) before Buffalo broke through. Morant’s counterpart, John Moore, stopped three Ithaca breakaways Saturday night. �I Swimminj AO INFORMATION CANDIDATES! Spectrum advertising is the most efficient method of reaching the electorate.

UUAB, the organization which schedules most of the cultural activity on campus, is having a frustrating year. It began last summer, when Sub-Board I, which funds UUAB, reduced the budget of five of its eight UUAB committees (Literary Arts, Video, Dance, Arts and Dramatic Arts). UUAB has been fighting an uphill battle in their efforts to create an aesthetically rewarding program of cultural events. In UUAB-sponsored areas, however, only film, music and coffeehouse, have any sort of workable budgets. Some of the other cultural events have met with suprising apathy from the student body. The inability of campus students to experiment with new and original art forms boggles the mind of Mr. Behnke and his organization: “There is no art on campus,” he said decisively. “The aesthetics are here, but we’re working with both hands tied behind our back.” recognition. The important thing to consider is “not trying to figure out where music was, but where it is going to go.” UUAB anticipated increased student interest in jazz this year, and their predictions appeared t<5 have been correct. The problems of lack pf student interest remain, however. “What they want on campus is what they could get off campus,” said Mr. Behnke, referring to the desire for commercially popular musicians. “1 can’t believe there is still that kind of mentality around.” UUAB is under pressure to entertain the majority of white students, which Mr. Behnke feels is totally absurd. Instead of a John Mayall, said Mr.. Bromberg, UUAB will bring a Muddy Waters because he is “the source” of Mayall music. Income or else UUAB’s film committee, although less maligned, is still pressured by many who want to see first-run films all the time. “People want ‘The Exorcist’ for $.75,” Mr. Behnke said increduously. He explained that movie-goers will not see a film simply because it received poor reviews. Once again, inadequate facilities keep many away from a popular film. The theater on the Amherst campus next year will seat a mere 250 in a theater in-the-round design. “Some people will watch the screen sideways,!’ Mr. Behnks Prime artists unavailable said. Mrr Behnke blames much of this new wave of Committees that saw their budgets drastically “conservatism” on the “post-strike backlash” of the reduced by Sub-Board 1 arc having problems of a past few years.

And yet, UUAB’s entertainment presented to them, Mr. Behnke feels. figures show that large audiences attended all 13 of Film and music arc certainly the most widely last year’s poetry concerts.

Nevertheless, UUAB will continue to bring the desperately wants feedback because “there is more musical talent ' they feel is worthy of than one kind of student.” best Solzhenitsyn Soviet author exiled; branded as ‘traitor’ by Gary Cohn Campus Editor Dissident author Aleksandr I.

Because there are no longer any huge draft calls and because the mood of the country has shifted to unfavorable sentiments toward the military, the services must now take active steps designed to reach young people eligible for military service, and convince them of the merits of enlisting. So far, this “guaranteed” by the recruiter very often fail to materialize because the candidate is not qualified. Such was recently the case when a recruiter pronounced a recruit as qualifed for duty as a stenographer and assured him the appropriate training after enlistment. It turned out that the young man was an alien and was therefore ineligible for security clearance, a prerequisite for duty as a investigation recent into stenographer. A discrepancies in the recruiting process concluded that when the military uncovers its error and recognizes that the soldier is not qualified, it fails to fulfill its commitment, yet holds the soldier in the service. The implications of the contract entered into by Army and recruit has not yet been fully examined in the courts. The few cases that have been heard resulted in decisions favorable to the military and demanded that the enlistee fulfill his contractual obligations, even when the Army had apparently neglected its part of the deal. The present-day situation is constructed so that the military is allowed a considerable margin for adjustment of its commitment while the recruit is held to the letter of his. The net result is servicemen who are shuffled into programs which they did not select, and denies access to the ones they prefer. End result: widespread dissatisfaction. The main drawing card of the military is their varied program of occupational training. Well-placed adds say WE’LL PAY YOU $288 A MONTH TO LEARN A NEW SKILL: IF YOUR JOB PL ”S YOU TO SLEEP TRY ONE OF OURS: STEADY WORK? WE’VE GOT OVER 300 GOOD STEADY JOBS. The programs do indeed exist, but their worth has been questioned by numerous outside observers. The low number of high school graduates signing up and the increasing number of lower-than-average intelligence enlistees casts a shadow of doubt on the effectiveness of those who graduate from such effort has been a failure. Failure to meet monthly quotas has resulted in a growing pressure on military recruiters to increase their effectiveness. The recruiters have responded with high-pressure sales tactics and stepped up efforts to convince young men of the desirability of a tour of military duty. Substantial quantities of literature have been distributed in an attempt to training describe the numerous vocational opportunities open to enlistees. Advertising describes the lucrative bonuses offered as rewards for enlistment, and patriotic appeals to conscience entice those who feel a military tour of duty is a national service. When all this fails as recent some recruiters have statistics indicate if has resorted to less-than-honorable tactics. During the closing days of the draft, recruiters with access to lists of those scheduled to take pre-induction physicals sent out letters employing high-pressure sales tactics, trying to take advantage of the unfortunate position of the young men. Rep. John J. Rooney (D., N.Y.) described these practices as professional “huckstering and double talk.” Mr. Rooney’s comments were in reference to the mailing of unsolicited literature to 18-year-olds, which implied that appearances at recruitment stations was part of their draft obligations. Similar transgressions were uncovered by the Central Committee of Conscientious Objectors (CCCO) at a Michigan high school, where letters programs. Training and experience in the military is were sent to graduating seniors stating that part of not necessarily an insurance of employment in the their draft obligations included the return of civilian world.

She said the original limits were “the fairest figures we could come up with” both for the candidates on tickets and for independents. But most major candidates have said privately that they will probably spend well under the smaller limits in any case, so problems should be few. The “sliding scale” of permissible spending, which the Assembly’s revisions left unchanged, was designed to give independent candidates a fair chance against tickets, which can pool resources and buy materials in quantity. Independents now have “a much better chance than they’ve ever had,” Ms. Mrozowski said. Asked whether an independent can win against a candidate on a ticket, Ms. Mrozowski replied; “It’s hard, but it’s not impossible.” Some Committee members and THE MIGHTY TACO 1247 Hertel Ave. A delicious change from pizza and subsl NEW HOURS Opens every day at 5:00 p.m. Closes Sun. thru Thurs. at 1 00 a.m Closes Fri. and Sat. at 3:00 a.m. PHONE-873-6606 Announcing the OPENING OF THE VAJRAYANA Restaurant serving Indian Cuisine 530 Rhode Island St. Ellen & Amy — hope you’re having a good time...

Realizing this, the Committee, temporarily led by Executive vice president Dave Saleh and now chaired by Janet Mrozowski, is proceeding with deliberation. Mr. Saleh said the Committee’s philosophy is that it is better that the rules be liberal and the enforcement strict in this first year. That would avoid the problems caused by unrealistically strict rules and create a precedent for future adequate enforcement. Ms. Mrozowski said she and the Committee will abide by that philosophy. D.

What wins elections? Another observer pointed out that almost invariably, any candidate well known enough to have a chance of winning is on a ticket anyway. The point is that nobody really knows what influences elections, which is another reason the Committee did not impose a Draconian election code. What is most important this year is not the specific rules, but rather 'that they are to be enforced. “I think the candidates know that the Committee will be a lot tougher this year,” said Ms. Mrozowski. So far, she said, everything is running smoothly. There have been no violations yet, in marked contrast to last year, and arrangements for machines, policing and election workers are moving ahead rapidly. Once the election campaign begins, Committee members will look constantly for violations. A rule passed at Tuesday’s Assembly meeting allows Committee members to initiate complaints on condition that they disqualify themselves from voting. The disqualification prevents Committee members from acting as prosecutor, judge, jury and hangman. Candidates, of course, have been more than willing in the past to make complaints and Ms Mrozowski is confident that this year’s candidates will continue “to watch each other very closely.” By all odds, the Committee is on its own with a tough job. It must provide serious enforcement of rules against campaign violations. In the wake of last year’s flagrant abuses, public sentiment may just be ready for it.

The use ’’ "In effect, with the all-volunteer army, we write into law the concept on one man’s money for another man’s blood... the middle class of America would not permit their sons to die in a war which they considered meaningless... It is no accident that the ardor of the campus anti-war movement cooled in lock step with the reduction of the draft and ended with the advent of the all-volunteer army. Joseph Califano, former domestic advisor to President Johnson often looking for tough and challenging job*. July 1973. 31% of the Army’s new soldiers were in the low intelligence category. In addition to the bonuses, the Army is offering a three-fold increase in base pay for a private over the days when the draft supplied the soliders. If you were drafted, you could expect to receive about S9S a week. Volunteers today receive over $300 a week. Huge pay increases In order to attract more men and supposedly better-qualified ones, the Pentagon and received requested Congressional approval to offer bonuses of $1500 to men who enlisted in any branch of the Armed Forces. When recruitment began falling short of programs expectations, Congress authorized bonuses of from $2500 to $3000 for each man who enlisted. With this increase, the percentage Re-evaluation necessary In November 1973, the Armed Forces reached their recruitment goal for the first time with 102% of the target 12,900 men needed. However, Army Secretary H. H. Callaway anticipated being still 15,000—20,000 men short in the summer of 1974. Mr. Callaway said the shortage is “not enough to reinstate the draft.” The Government Accounting Office predicts the Armed Forces will fall 10% short of Easy to go to war “By removing the middle class from even the threat of conscription, we remove perhaps the greatest inhibition on a Presidential decision to wage war,” commented Califano, President Johnson’s domestic advisor. Pointing to the investment of $6 billion in a recruitment plan, Mr. Califano noted that in order to save money, the Pentagon might move to purchasing cheaper, more efficient nuclear warheads, leading us to “cheaper nuclear ' brinkmanship." to interesting sidelight the An all-volunteer army is the problem facing recruiters. They arc kept in recruiting jobs solely on the basis of whether or not they meet their recruitment quotas. This has led to the reassignment of 107 mep in six months when they were discovered to have offered “crib” sheets to prospective they soldiers before took Army examinations, as well as manufacturing false high school diplomas. " Mr. Laird’s statement preceded the official date for the end of the military draft in the United States by six months. Congress had previously mandated that conscription cease by June 30, 1973. However, with the advent of the all-volunteer armed forces (or VOLAR, as the military abbreviate it) came the problems of meeting recruitement quotas. On the whole, the volunteer army has been a failure. The Pentagon released figures every month in 1973 regarding the volunteer army’s progress. Latest available figures indicate that for seven consecutive months, the volunteer army fell short of the necessary number of recruits to maintain an armed forces of two million men. In July 1973, for example, the Army recruited 76% of their total goal. Of the new Army recruits, 35% were black. A spokesman for the Army said at the time they were interested in “men who could do the job, not their race.” When the all-volunteer concept was initiated, the Army had set a maximum of 18% for the number of Category IV (low intelligence) men they would accept. In take about 10% of the total men needed, and none when volunteers were sufficient to meet the Army’s quota. As well as completing manpower requirements, a supplementary draft would also change the present “non-representative” status of the Armed Forces which Mr. Westmoreland “deplores.” There are presently no “affluent boys serving,” he noted. N.i of the Department of Defense budget for military salaries approached and exceeded 60%, the highest ever. But even with the higher bonuses, the all-volunteer concept is still not working. Unlike the Army and the Marine Corps, the Navy and Air Force are meeting their quotas. The Navy and the Air Force offer experiences that appear less taxing grater and often include travel, opportunities to learn technical tools, and avoidance of the duties of the '“poor bloody infantry,” as the British call it. But those who join the Army and Marines are their projected goal by this summer. Because of the anticipated manpower shortage, and as a result of a study completed six months after the volunteer concept was initiated, the Brookings Institution called the plan unprecendented and said its goals can only be met by “re-evaluating” downward the quality of the recruits, not the quantity. Former Army Chief of Staff and Commander of Vietnam forces William C. Westmoreland proposed a supplementary draft be implemented so manpower needs can be met. He claims the draft would only Reinstate draft Recruitment officers have found few high schools across the country receptive to the recruitment program within their school. Fewer than one-third of the nation’s high schools want recruitment and fewer than one-half of the country’s fathers want their sons in the military. The problem, as Mr. Califano noted, is that “by design and incentive, an all-volunteer army is structured to bring into the armed forces the poor and near-poor and to free of even the danger of the and military service middle upper-middle class young.” Interestingly, neither Mr. Califano nor any other opponent of the volunteer army have proposed an alternative solution. The National Council to Repeal the Draft closed its Washington office when the draft officially ended last year.

Affairs Student Activities Student Affairs Student Rights �The tough lifeofa Peace Corps volunteer is not as bad as you think 9 ‘ by Linda Moskowitz Feature Editor The village of Korwaihun, in West Africa’s Liberia, where die population consists of no more than ISO people, was home to Susan Kerstein for two years, as she taught in an elementary school as a Peace Corps volunteer. Her home was made of mud brick, covered with cement. There was no running water or electricity. Nearby streams provided water, and kerosene lamps were the source of light. With no modern plumbing facilities, she also used the outdoor latrine. And although some may consider such accommodations Ms. Kerstein scarcely minimal, commented; “It’s amazing how much you can live without and really be happy. I never felt in need or in want of anything.” “You’re just never thinking Tm doing without’,” she continued, “because you soon become so involved with the people you’re living with.” After some time she preferred the hot bucket-baths, which use water warmed by the sun, she claimed, to a cold shower, which was also available to Intensive training Educational standards in the town are also much different than one would expect in America. Students, even in elementary school, can be older than the volunteer. Ms. Kerstein pointed out that in the sixth grade, the pupils ranged in age from 13-25. Children also often walk two hours to get to school, and then must perform a hard day’s work on the farm. Teachers must adjust themselves to this life-style. Intensive training was required before Ms. Kerstein could begin her actual work. Twelve to 24 weeks were spent learning the local language, cultural patterns, and the requirements of her job. Ms. Kerstein describes the language training £s “very intensive,” commenting; “People will be surprised as to hew much they can learn in a short period of time.” • Adjustment, however, may be difficult at first for some volunteers. “It is not unnatural to go through culture shock,” said Ms. Kerstein, who, as a former anthropology major, thought she’d be the last person to experience such a and phenomenon. The friendliness vivaciousness' of the villagers rather overwhelmed her at first, and this can sometimes be frightening to volunteers. “It takes a good three months to adjust,” she explained. “But once I got adjusted, I really enjoyed it.” “It’s not really until the second year that a volunteer begins to make positive contributions,” she said. “You’re just getting into the language and culture then, and beginning to know the town.” Kerstein was the only Peace Corps volunteer in her town, but was no more than 20 minutes away from other volunteers by way of public transport. Peace Corps and Expenses paid Most West African countries speak either English or French, but there arc also Susan Kerstein her. Culture shock could not afford this, and although Ms. Kentein would sometimes supply her class with materials, she herself never had more in material goods than did her students. “You’re trying to live at the level of your counterparts,” she explained. “You’re trying to work within the framework of the culture. If the kids can’t buy paper, you shouldn’t go out and buy it to show them how much more you have.”. which is a bus or pick-up truck. The money-bus which could take her to the capital city of Monrovia, nearly 300 miles away, was actually a pick-up truck which also carried goats, chickens and other animals along with its human transport on the 14-hour trip. Language emphasis One of Ms. Kerstein’s main tasks as a teacher was to teach her students English, which is now the national language of Liberia. The students learn English as a second language, since Liberia is a nation of several different tribes, each of which has its own language. The English language is considered necessary for global communication, and by adopting a colonial language, tribal favoritism and factionalism is av6ided. As compared to American schools, those in most Third World countries are radically different. The main reason is, of course, economics. Such countries do not have the money to equal American facilities and learning tools. There is also a lack of trained personnel, and more importantly, education often takes a secondary position to agriculture. Most of the poor farmers depend on their children for labor. Supplies scarce Parents are usually traditionalists, and find it difficult to accept modern Western values often taught in the schools. But an education is still a symbol of status and a thing to be proud of, and if the parents can spare their young workers, the children will go to school. Ms. Kerstein taught in a school built of mud and cement. There were few books, and these were often Western-oriented and therefore not used. There was often no paper or chalk. Copybooks could be bought for five cents, but many students 27 tribal languages spoken. Ms. Kerstein learned Gbandi, which was spoken in her village. “You are totally immersed in the culture during training, and this makes it easier to get into later on,” she said. Most training now takes place in the country in which the volunteer is placed. Health needs are all free and provided by the Peace Corps. Volunteers receive a weekly living allowance, which varies with the volunteer's location, and are also entitled to a 48-day paid vacation. Readjustment allowances are provided for the worker when he or she finishes work overseas. Ms. Kerstein speaks quite favorably about her experience and is now working recruiting ACTION’S office in in Rochester. If you are interested in her experience and wish to discuss it further with her, she will be on campus next week the Norton Union. Check The in Spectrum's Backpage for exact time and location. VISTA Why not lend a helping hand? During the past several years, volunteer programs sponsored by the federal agency ACTION have coalesced into a variety of well-defined jobs, attractive and available to many college and university students it graduation. Perhaps the best known of these programs are VISTA and the Peace Corps, of which there are currently 12,000 volunteers in the states and abroad. This week, ACTION representatives, who are returned VISTA and Peace Corps volunteers, will visit this campus to speak with interested seniors and graduate students. On February 19-21, they will be in Norton Union’s Center lounge from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. A representative will also be in the placement office at these times. Skills needed Most of the programs sponsored by Peace Corps and VISTA request applicants to have either a specific degree or a professional skill. Areas emphasized are business, architecture, )agriculture, education, law, social services, and engineering. There is a great need for doctors, nurses and other medical professionals. Generally, the volunteers are recent college graduates, though many have related work experience. Yet the emphasis of volunteer requests from overseas countries aqd communities within the states is on the ability of the volunteer to do a specific job to teach high school physics, to develop an adult education program or perhaps to train nurses or accountants. — Education The Peace Corps’ largest program centers on secondary school education. Volunteers work as teachers or substitutes, train teachers, develop curriculum and sometimes prepare textbooks. To work in such programs the Peace Corps seeks experienced teachers, supervisors and college graduates with degrees in English, secondary education, education, math, chemistry, physics, industrial arts and physical education (also French majors). Graduate degrees in science and primary education are much needed. VISTA needs primarily majors in elementary education, adult education, special education, guidance, vocational education, recreation, especially those fluent in Spanish. Neither Peace Corps nor VISTA requires a language, but, knowledge of Spanish proves more than helpful for VISTA. Health core workers Peace Corps does provide language training to each volunteer. The language training program normally consumes three months, overseas, prior to the initiation of the two-year volunteer term. The second major area in which both VISTA and Peace Corps volunteers work is health. There are positions for doctors, registered and practical nurses, dieticians, sanitarians, physical therapists, occupational therapists, home economists, health educators, dental technicians, French-speaking biology majors, and some BA graduates with an interest in health extension and immunization programs. There are a variety of positions for seniors and students with degrees in civil engineering, architecture, urban planning, construction, business, accounting, economics, and others. graduate Urban planning For example, in Sierra Leone a large group of volunteers with BA’s in secondary education and general education are implementing new science and math curriculums in secondary schools and promoting this to fellow teachers through workshops and regional meetings. In Morocco a group of Peace Corps architects and urban planners perform town planning functions related to low-cost housing, public construction, urban planning and tourism development. They collect data and train technicians and local officials. Similar programs exist in Iran, Afghanistan, Tunisia, Honduras, Peru, Malawi and other countries. In Brazil volunteer MBA’s function as business consultants to cooperatives affiliated to various agencies. They provide technical assistance in implementing effective operation of the cooperatives. Their work sometimes involves the establishment of business standards, development of courses in business management or writing articles on management techniques. Representative on campus Throughout the country VISTA projects involve socially committed volunteers in referral agencies, counseling programs, emergency food and medical relief programs, special and adult education, day care centers, dental clinics, credit unions, and cooperatives, recreation programs, community newspapers, researching housing codes, building or reconstructing low-cost housing, legal assistance, etc. Additional information and applications are available in the placement office throughout the year. Seniors or graduate students interested in programs in which they might participate should contact the Peace Corps/VISTA representative on February 19-21 at Norton Union. A representative will also be in the Placement Office these three days and at the Ridge Lea Campus student cafeteria, February 20, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. The evening of February 19 there will be a meeting of interested people in 232 Norton Union, 7:30 p.m. to 9:30 p.m. Friday, 15 February 1974 The Spectrum . .

They are being inflict) on a tiny nation. But as national protests persecuted a year after we declared our laughable ceaselessly pounded the immorality of war into the peace and withdrew American bodies to fight the national consciousness, we must achieve an end to the continued persecution of draft evaders. We must war by proxy. free and not let America conveniently forget. We must win a felon, convicted walks Agnew, a Spiro is guarded by the Secret Service. John Mitchell, who humanitarian amnesty for the young men who indiscriminately threw antiwar protesters in jail, is opposed an inhuman war. They refused to fight in a war they believed immoral. They chose not to kill for the Pentagon's war machine. Their consciences did not permit them ... a possible new draft... "/f is no accident that the ardor of the campus anti-war movement cooled in lock step with Jhe reduction of the draft and ended with the advent of the volunteer army." —Joseph Califano, former assistant to President Johnson The Volunteer Army has been a failure. The Army has consistently fallen short of its manpower quotas, despite the increased bonuses and benefits being offered. An increasingly disproportionate number of blacks have been filling the Army's ranks since the draft ended, raising the prospect of an increasingly all-black army led by white officers, waging war for middle-class America. And although the Army is conducting a high-pressure sales campaign and spending $1200 for each new recruit, it has been accepting a disturbing number of low-intelligence volunteers, both black and white. Although the Army's original ceiling on "category fours" (low-intelligence) men was 18%, it has had to accept about 30% just to meet its monthly quotas. Only 41% of its new soldiers have been high school graduates in the last three months, as opposed to 67% in pre-Vietnam 1964. The implication is obvious: if the All-Volunteer Army is not working, a supplemental draft, or perhaps even a full-scale return to conscription, may ... be around the corner. Many in Congress are starting to reach that conclusion. Subjects like the draft, the military and the war we continue to finance in we spent $284 million in military aid to Vietnam South Vietnam this year, only we didn t spend have faded from the front pages. American bodies But a possible renewed draft will once again create a fervor in middle-class America as their sons' lives may once again be on the line. Perhaps the campus antiwar protests were motivated more by the threat of personal involvement than by deep-rooted pacifist sentiment; the moral outcries have become a faint whisper since yellow bodies were substituted for white ones. But the specter of a renewed draft should force us to ask the long-overdue crucial questions: Do we want an army of poor, lower-class, low-intelligence soldiers to wage war at the whim of middle-class politicians? Or is that preferable to a draft which forcibly coerces young men into military service? Or would a universal draft be fairer than a volunteer army which only attracts the bottom of society's barrel? These are extremely difficult moral questions, but they must be answered. For if the present volunteer system is not improved, it will not be long before the lives of all the nation's young men are once again at the mercy of an annual lottery. — — and nuclear brinkmanship In the nuclear age, what kind of Army do we want? How much conventional manpower do we need? After Vietnam, should we continue to see our Army as the world's policeman? As the maneuvering, in the Middle East war proved, we continue to view the U.S. Army as a tool of international political action against the Soviet Union. U.S.—Soviet detente has proved illusory, as underscored by both the Mideast and the Soviet dissident Aleksandr explusion of author Solzhenitsyn. The Soviets want our trade and technology while they continue their massive - military buildup. We must deny them economic assistance until they begin working for peace (they encouraged the Arabs both to fight Israel and to continue the oil embargo against the U.S.); and ease the repressive tactics and opposition to free expression most recently displayed against Mr. Solzhenitsyn, who would have been jailed and not exiled if not for Western public opinion. Perhaps using our economic pressure against the Soviets is less dangerous than trying to maintain a worldwide military equilibrium. The facts are these: the U.S. Army has 13 divisions, compared to something like 80 divisions for th Soviets. Only 15% of our 2.2 million soldiers are combat-ready; the Army is top-heavy with generals and office workers; the divisions in Western Europe are ill-trained, ill-equipped and far from ready for combat. And the result of this manpower imbalance against the USSR's 3.4 million soldiers is an increased American reliance on nuclear weapons. Avoiding all-out nuclear war is based on the principle of mutual deterrence; you will not strike first because if you do, you will also be annihilated. But the Defense Department is pushing for a whole new family of low-yield nuclear weapons, including nuclear shells for small guns and "mini-nukes" which could kill by neutron radiation. Army generals are talking of these as if they were ordinary weapons, and want them for U.S. troops in West Europian countries bordering the USSR, where U.S. nuclear bombers are already on 15-minute glert near the border. The chances of war in Europe are remote. But the possibility of these low-yield nuclear weapons provoking a nuclear war is frightening. (Remember how we felt when Soviet missiles were aimed at our head from Cuba.) Meanwhile, Defense Secretary Schlesinger wants U.S.-based nuclear bombers re-targeted at Soviet military sites as well as cities, to give the President an option to respond to a Soviet nuclear attack on our bases, without blowing up Soviet population centers and thus dooming our own cities to nuclear annihilation as well. The option for a flexible response may be desirable in the era of nuclear brinkmanship. But what all these proposals mean is that nuclear war, once inconceivable, is becoming thinkable. This is an extremely dangerous trend. Throughout human history, whenever new and dangerous weapons were invented, which mankind thought could never be used, they eventually became a common part of warfare. Now, for the first time, mankind possesses the ability to destroy the world in a matter of hours. Will the outcome be the same? The United States, for its part, must thoroughly rethink its foreign policy, the needs for its conventional Army, and its contingencies for nuclear response. We must simultaneously push for arms-conrol agreements with the Soviets to deflate the spiralling arms race. Playing around with small nuclear weapons and targeting theories may upset the balance of mutual deterrence, the only thing which insures that nuclear war remains unthinkable. Page six The Spectrum Friday, 15 February 1974 . . The 4-course load is under attack again, which means that we who cherish learning, as opposed to processing, ought to reiterate what learning is all about. First, learning is not enterable, like bookkeeping. An eminent British scholar once asked me, after I explained our credit-hours system to him, “Are you afraid to let your students into the library?” His point was obvious: given the proper structure more learning can go on outside the classroom than in it. Which is precisely why I had to explain the course-load system to him in the first place; it is unknown at Oxford and Cambridge, unimaginable at Heidelberg or the Sorbonne. For that matter, it is a system only lately introduced here in the land of cost-accounting. Harvard, Yale and Princeton (to mention but a few of our sister institutions) have a 4-course load without any “credit hours” attached to them. Sixteen courses qualifies you to graduate. I have yet to hear it argued that the education of Harvard undergraduates is thought deficient because of this. In fact the entire credit-hour system is only a contrivance developed to assist the calculations of bursars and bureaucrats. It nurtures their superstition that units are interchangeable, that knowledge is quantifiable, that the hording of “hours” is equivalent to the acquisition of insight. As such it illustrates superbly Max Weber’s famous dictum that “the rationality of the parts is the irrationality of the whole.” Those of a more brooding nature might see this equation of credits and learning as exemplifying Marx’s hypothesis that in a capitalist society means become ends in all areas of human endeavor: just as the predominance of capitalism leads men to suppose that having more means being more, so these little photocopied numerals on a transcript come to have a vitality of their own superior to that of actual experience. But surely it is the function of the University to combat rather than to reinforce such delusions, to insist that a system for recording things is not equivalent to the things recorded. Secondly, any speed-up in the educational process is counter-productive. Students should be given more, not less, concentration. The four-course load does not guarantee depth study (nothing can) but at least it does not inhibit it. The added burden of an extra course crammed into the same finite period of time only dehumanizes those who are forced into it. I do not doubt that some of the advocates of an increased load really believe that they might thereby upgrade the quality of education at our university. We should gently but firmly free them from this delusion and point out that the way to increase quality is increase standards. This is admittedly more difficult than to follow the absurd bureaucratic calculation that more abstracted units, when summed, equal more education. But it is the only intelligent reform to pursue. Students, having that elastic adaptability which has enabled humanity to survive, may well be able to live with a five or even a six-course load. But it is stupid, irrational and pernicious to succumb to the Thought patterns behind the drive to abolish the four-course load. That is the fundamental reason we must fight to preserve it. 'William Sheridan A lien Professor of History The University Machine To the Editor. Lately I’m beginning to wonder about the function of a university. It seems that breeding grounds for the American “Machine” extends even to an institution of higher education. Institutions that are supposed to look at Knowledge and Truths objectively. It seems that Knowledge for Knowledge sake is a taboo in the educational system. Department requirements just keep right on emphasizing competitiveness. The “Machine” has accomplished the goal of perpetuating itself. Students continually and traditionally fall into catagories set up by big business or other equally dangerous institutions. The “Machine” persistently gets its supply of laborers, businessmen, technicians, politicians, and ruling class all by endlessly exhorting the same values and ideals, namely competitiveness: Ergo; and then Money, Power, Sex or Status controlling the means to them. Does getting an education mean getting a job, trade, status, classification or life style? What category are you in? The “Machine” must know so it can create a lifestyle for you, and along with that life style go a certain “type” of hopes, fears, expectancies, course of action, associations, limits, — etc. The questions concerning the Colleges seem to be those of Ideas and Interests. Does the University cog help keep turning the Wheel of the American “Machine”? Do new Ideas and Interests get a right to be heard without an authoritarian body passing judgment? The University higher-ups are using their power to make decisions affecting the very growth of the nation. Manipulation no matter how subtle is still manipulation. As slowly as values and ideas change on the university level, the slower they change on the national level. The University should promote the destruction of worn out myths, stereotypes and rules, while at the same time consciensiously expanding its fields to new interests, such as are offered in the colleges. An untimely but concerned student �'I could drink a case of you, and still be on my feet.. / by Sheldon Kamieniecki Spectrum Music Critic So what can I say? Only that you out there in recession land (at least most of you) missed the finest performance ever seen at Kleinhans Music Hall last Monday night? Her majesty, the princess of music culture (Judy C. has to be the Queen), Joni Mitchell was at her people best. People swarmed and buzzed before the concert like bees flying around honey. Tom Scott and the L.A. Express came on to warm things up on that snowy, cold night. At first they sounded to me like studio musicians trying to make it. Their first couple of songs (all were instrumentals) sounded like the backround music for a detective or lawyer you know like "serious" show on TV progressive pop. The band was tight and very aggressive - perhaps a bit too aggressive. They were really into (and I do mean really) trying to please. The Coltrane number was done well, however, as Mr. Calloway hit some beautiful, mellow notes on the electric piano. Max Bennett on bass also did a terrific job that night. He was with Frank Zappa for a while and performed on Hot — Rocks. Joni turns them on At the time I didn't know whether Tom Scott and the L.A. Express were going to be Joni Mitchell's back-up band. I was kind of hoping that she would come out by herself. Scott finally introduced Joni Mitchell to the audience. She entered the Music L \v-- - y--: - Jjl Hall wearing a full length, sleeveless, bareback, orange gown and an appreciative smile. She started things off with "You Turn Me On, I'm a Radio" from For the Roses and "This Flight Tonight" from Blue. "You Turn Me On" was very rythmic and got the audience going. Her energetic acoustic guitar playing was complemented nicely by her long blond hair and shapely figure swaying back and forth with the melody. Calloway's electric piano melted into Joni's fine acoustic sound quite well. The first set was electric and mainly consisted of songs from her new album. Court and Spark. "Free Man in Paris" came off nicely with Tom Scott helping out on the vocals. Vocal versitility There was a long intermission, but the second set was worth waiting for. Wearing —continued on page 12— �'Day of the Dolphin' Lions, tigers, bears, oh my jackal, seagull, nowa dolphin by Ellen Klauber Spectrum Arts Staff If American psychologists could teach a chimpanzee to communicate through American Sign Language, why couldn't cetologitfs teach a dolphin to talk? The Day of the Dolphin, produced by Joseph E. Levine with director Mike Nichols, explores this notion of dolphins' speech with its various implications. The movie lacks the outmoded Vietnamese-World War III theme of the book written by French author Robert Merle. The plot is thus reduced to its most basic elements with only hints of the complicated background which was wisely omitted since this novel's espionage would have appeared najye after Watergate. Instead, the "genteel" double-bugging by alternative factions within the government seems somewhat plausible. George C. Scott portrays the politically naive, purely scientific Dr. Seville, who has achieved the impossible task of teaching the art of human language to a non-human species. The surly, anti-anything-but-research attitude independent, snugly fits Scott's character. Just as in hTs role of General Patton, nothing can get in the way of Scott's truth. On a secluded island where he conducts his secretive experiments, the elder Dr. Seville lives with his young, beautiful wife Maggie (Trich Van Davere) and a few other researchers including the "traitor" David. It is the dolphin Pha (Alpha) who from birth is taught not only to follow human directions, but to answer them back with morphemes through his spiracle a respiratory organ on his back. This film's dolphins summon nostalgia for the long-gone TV series Flipper plus the triumph of the great white whale over man in Melville's Moby Dick. The cetaceans are shown for long intervals with majestic Bachian music to accompany their smooth, sleek bodies as they dance in and about the water. It is touching to see the love of Alpha when he is introduced to his mate Bi (Beta), thus averting a growing Oedipal complex involving his "Ma" Maggie. One might wonder if Nichols wanted to create a submerged version of Jonathan Livingston Seagull. For any but the most violent mammal lovers, the footage might seem to drag. And, although the idea is fascinating, it isn't easy to understand the dolphin's bleated words, even when restricted tp — — The Duke as 'McQ' —a forgettable movie by Howie Ruben Spectrum Arts Staff John Wayne is above everyone else. He always was and he always be. Produced and directed by John Sturges and Lawrence Roman, McQ is as typical a John Wayne flick as you can get. The only difference in this one is that he plays a cop and not a cowboy. Wayne is a "bear," almost non—human. He is honest, dedicated, and loyal, while at the same time being liberal, rebellious, and his own man the Wayne trademark. The film is about drugs; so what else is new? After Wayne finds out athat his partner on the force has been murdered, he goes out and beats up a big racketeer, even though he doesn't know who killed him. Make sense to you? A drug theft then takes place. First, the big mobster and his boys are suspected. Then the police department is in question. No way, fans! It's Wayne's partner’s wife, played very unemotionally by Diana Muldaur. will — Holes in Wayne The script in McQ has so many holes in it one begins to wonder if the movie isn't an updated version of Batman. The acting is to s y the least, pathetic. Only Robert E. Mosley as a pimp and Colleen Dewhurst as an overworked barfly provide relatively good performances. Eddie Arnold, as a police chief, is normally an excellent actor. In this film he appears lost and forlorn without Lisa Couglas, his farm, and Arnold the pig. John Wayne never has been and never will be a good actor. Because of his "personality" and so-called "charisma," Wayne has been able to remain a box-office star Tor what seems like decades. Watching him on the screen, he reminds me of someone trying very hard to do a John Wayne impression. Never a sign of emotion, never a scar on his massive frame. About as emotional as Wayne gets in McQ is "How about a drink?" Superman vs. the flies Endowed with superior intelligence, brawn, and guns, Wayne pounces on and destroys other people as if they were flies. Everyone else falls short of Wayne, the superman. Like other films of this nature, McQ has numerous chase scenes. Some are quite humorous. Following a truck with heroin in it, Wayne is detoured by an exact replica and almost shoots the head off of a laundry employee. "You're nuts," he says calmly, gets back into his truck, and drives away. Harry Straddling, Jr., the director of photography, made a boo—boo. Wayne is in a house and lays some cocaine on the arm of a chair; &s he gets up from the chair, the cocaine falls off. .When Wayne returns to the cocaine, there it is, resting on the arm of the cchair.

No names are mentioned, so which President is to be sabotaged is left up in the air. I won't discuss the implications of the faction's plot. This improbable scheme rings false, leaving one with a bad taste in the mouth. No one seems to ask why talking dolphins are necessary to blow up a ship, especially ones who can verbally testify to the crime. The films of the last decade have pointed out man's inhumanity to man. The Day of the Dolphin exposes a crueler exploitation the Deceptive use of innocent creatures to bring about man's destruction. The communicative use of speech, a major characteristic of man's superiority, is transmitted to the dolphins. There are several effective sequences in the film where the voices of the characters are omitted. This raises a question of who is the more human, not to mention the more intelligent. The dolphin is said to have once been a land-dwelling creature who, for some mysterious reason, returned to the sea. There he found his rebirth. Alpha and Beta's “return to land" through man Is tragic. They believe man is good because he is smooth like themselves, and their trust of man overrides even their own instincts. Buck Henry, who wrote the screenplay, emphasized a naive innocence which disappears in the novel as the cephalans are used to kill the "friendly" homo sapiens and thus realize that man is bad. Day of the Dolphin will appeal to the sentimental. I'd recommend it for one's younger brothers and sisters. Although the idea is a little more sophisticated than the Walt Disney fare, the same emotional appeal is present. Perhaps the closing scene will bring a tear or two to the eye, if one is not too skeptical. One might leave the theater angrily, not because of the wasted money on a maudlin put-down of scientific research, but because of the likable dolphins who have been abused. — Who's inferior?? There is no deep plot or action-packed sequences, although man's ego is dealt a stunning blow as he is shown up as stupid and senseless by an "inferior" species. If you like drama and suspense, this hasn't got too much to offer; unless the rescue scenes of Rin Tin Tin of Lassie excited you, since the dolphins' attempt to save the world mimics these animals' antics. "With what porpoise?" said the Mock Turtle to Most of the movie, despite what previews may Alice. show, is involved with uncovering the secrets of "Don't you mean purpose?" said Alice.

An inkling of an idea is imptied when a huge bulldozer is caressed with "OK sweetheart, destroy!" An appropriate phrase for a machine that levels and annihilates everything in its way. If a bulldozer had a soul, what would it become? Killdozer, a made-for-TV movie from the short story by Theodore Sturgeon (shown Saturday at 8:30 on ABC), attempts to answer that question. A rock with an intelligent life force from worlds beyond sends a blue light source into a bulldozer, thus making it a rampant killer. Once again man is being destroyed by his own creation a la Frankenstein, but this time with the help of an alien. Odds could have been taken on who went next as, one by one, the struggling men were killed. Man alone can't fight his mechanical devices. The battle Maude (Bunker Kin) And then there's Maude the counterpart of AH In The Family's Archie Bunker. Maude was first introduced to the — television world as Edith Bunker's liberal cousin. The two shows are diametrically opposed in both setting and character. Maude (played by Beatrice Arthur) is a middle-aged, thrice-divorced woman who is now married to fourth husband, Walter Macy). Each program presents a new confrontation between Maude as "staunch liberal" with set ideas on how to continue being so, and a world which resists such an approach. Various issues such as racism, divorce, and remarriage have been treated in the series; many of these are related to more controversial topics (for example, sexual (played a by Bill relations, abortion, etc.) Bull-headed, sarcastic, but very much her image, Maude is an atypical television personality. Unlike scene of the century was between a giant steam shovel operated by the two surviving men and the rabid killer dozer. It was reminiscent of the comedy King Kong vs Godzilla. Our society has increasingly been giving machines human characteristics. The cute Huey and Duey in Silent Running (shown that same night) appeal to our hearts, but is our friendly neighborhood computer truly alive? Who has control of our world? Are machines man's best friends or his worst enemies? As science fiction becomes more and more recognized' by the general population and film stars such as Charlton Heston, James Franciscus, Gregory Peck, and Yul Brynner deign to accept roles in SF flicks, many such questions will be explored for quality entertainment. It's about time we looked at old ideas through new eyes. How about a Science Fiction Movie of the Week? — Ellen Klauber Donna Reed, she is not beautiful, young, patient-housewife-and-mother. or the Unlike the more recent Mary Tyler Moore, she is not entirely liberated and free. Maude is a product of years of not-always-pleasant experience. Still, she is unsinkable, perky, and ever ready to fight. Her wit (or that of the scriptwriters) glosses over what could be a very boring niche in life, creating a winning and attractive character. The result; a program which, for once, offers a portrait of middle-aged womanhood that is less than bleak. Maude is an individual. However, there are faults to be found with Maude. As in any situation comedy, there is annoying contrivance in the progression of events; it's very predictable. With the exception of Florida, Maude's maid (played by Esther Rolle), the suburban setting and characters in it are truly overdone. Yet, despite these problems, Maude is spirited, in some respects unusual, and generally worthwhile. concerned with ABC television is moving in the right direction. Let us hope the other networks follow suit. Monday night (9-10:30) ABC premiered a new series, Judgment. Stanley Kramer, who directed such giant films as High Noon and Ship of Fools comes to time television for the first as of this controversial show Each week the show deals with past historic trials. Kramer has tried to present the trials in the most unique and authentic way and then, as the show progresses, leaves the answers and mysteries of what occurred up to the viewing audience. The premiere show dealt with the trial of Julius and Ethel Rosenberg, who in 1953 were convicted by Shelley Grossberg the prosecution. The acting was excellent to say the least Judgment (Verdict: Incredible) director-narrator — the U.S. government of treason and espionage and sentenced to the electric chair. The TV trial was handled as authentically as possible, but was emotional enough to keep the viewer awake. Herschei Bernardi played the Rosenbergs' lawyer and Brenda Vaccaro, the role of Mrs. Rosenberg. Allen Garfield also appeared as a key witness in Throughout the TV trial one wonders; "Were they really guilty of spying for the Russians or were they merely scapegoats for the Communist-fearing Americans?" to This is Kramer's main objective and questions curiosity, raise arouse — uncertainty, and to open up our minds to controversial events which seem to fade as time goes on In the weeks to come. Judgment will be presenting the My Lai Massacre trial, a U.S. trial of a high-ranking general in the army following World War II, and Japanese others. Kramer wanted to present the Angela Davis trial, but on second thought decided that this season is just a little too soon Judgment on ABC is a provocative, controversial, and incredibly entertaining program. For those viewers who are sick of 90 years of Lucy or the one-millionth showing of Gunsmoke, Judgment will provide a nice change of pace. Director Stanley Kramer is incredible. So is his show.

Page nine �} Monsters and ghouls of classic American films by Bill Maraschiello Spectrum Arts Staff Note: This article is the third in a four-pert series on the history and significance of the horror film. Poor Jack Palance. Playing Dracula is a task I would wish only on my worst enemy. It takes more than Palance, Christopher Lee, John Carradine, or just about anyone else can muster to derail an authentic myth. "It is useless to debate whether he is a good actor or not: Lugosi was Dracula." (Clarens, Illustrated History of the Horror Film). Tod Browning directed Dracula in 1930. Its biggest defect by far is that it was based not on Brim Stoker's novel, but on a 1929 stage adaptation whose success spawned theWIm. Consequently, most of Dracula is slow, static, and nothing appears on film uncinematic that could not be communicated on the — stage. But the film does take full advantage of the potential of the opening sequences at Dracula's castle. There is no music during the film proper, but no score could be more effective than the castle's stony silence, broken only by Lugosi's voice. His ambiguous accents lend foreboding to everything he says ("Have some wine I never drink ... wine.") A ... Bride and, The scenes between the Monster and a kindly blind hermit who takes him in are simultaneously poetic beauty and satire, especially when the hermit prays in tearful gratitude and the Monster, also weeping, claps him sympathetically on the back. Whale's approach is full of irreverence, with grave-robbers bitching working conditions ("This is no life night... of the about "Children wolf howls: a What music they make!" Lugosi intones, for a murderer"); the Monster tied to pose; a crucifixion in pole by villagers the the sweeps theater. the chill of chills and "wedding night," with the The Count was the only great role of and the stroking his bride's arm, Monster, gently moment of career; that one Lugosi’s with hisses and screams. greeted greatness was enough. First Frankenstein The first Wolf Man, with Lon Chaney, Jr. as the cursed Lawrence Talbot, was more successful, especially when wizened old Maria Ouspenskaya warns us: "Even a mart who is pure in heart, and says his prayers by night/ Can become a wolf when the wolfbane blooms and the moon is full and bright." Instead of running a roil call of the well-known films I haven't mentioned. I'll just say that I passed over them for a variety of reasons. Some were painfully unclassic to the modern eye. Others were more properly placed in other genres sci-fi, adventure, ordinary suspense (I admit the distinctions are sometimes fine ones). Sadly, there are some I missed (Mamoutian's Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, said to be a masterpiece). But I hope that nobody seriously thinks that House of Frankenstein or House of Dracula is worth more than a rueful groan. Monstrous movie The free-wheeling attitude of Bride drew complaints from several sources, not the least of which was Karloff, who thought the Monster had been made "too human to be frightening." Thus, Son of Frankenstein consciously reduced the Monster to an automaton, with Karloff's final turn as the Monster not up to the level he had previously established. The lack of classic werewolf story may (Next: a glance at 1950's sci-fi; Roger explain the absence of a really Corman; Hammer Films.) picture yourself in an oil painting by Jeffrey C. Scofield (Note: Jeffrey C., UB alumnus, writes: "Here is the funniest thing I ever wrote. Before you read it and remark. Why this is not the least bit funny,' let me say, ‘It is tool' So let's hear no more of that." He calls this turkey. Reflections on Life, if such a thing were possible. My recent indisposition (called in the medical textbooks “unemployment") has given me plenty of time to think. Just what is this life all about anyway? Is it, as some say, a trip to the grocer's? No, I just can't see my way clear to agreeing with that. Is it a drama with the whole world as its stage? No, it is a big oil painting hanging over there in the corner. Do you see that little splotch of blue there? That is you. And the little green splotch bent over the picture of a typewriter? That is me. You can see that what I am doing is writing stuff that doesn't pay anything. This stack of little green splotches no, over here in this corner.. this is a stack of money. And here are the moon, stars, and sun, in alphabetical order. Up here we have the history of the earth. Here is the classical Greek bard, strumming the equivalent of his guitar. Here is the discovery of America. Here is the no. I'm sorry, I never could keep straight the names of all those dinosaurs. Fearsome beasts, though, weren't they? Fancy that! Did you really? I did too, stuffed. No, some sort of plastic, I suppose. I was in the museum at the Grand Canyon National Park, the world's showplace of erosion by running water. (And I understand it is still running, somewhere near the bottofn.) You can never say that Nature doesn't pay her debts in full. She promised to make a canyon, and she is still hard at work at it, after all this time! And you can be thankful for that, for if she were to stop, just for a moment, we would all be dead so fast it would make your head spin. There once was a man who wanted to see the world.

Originally set to. direct Frankenstein, he stayed on the project only long enough to suggest that the Monster's antisocial actions be caused not by humanity's hatred, but by his brain being that of a dead criminal. The eventual director was James Whale, one of the finest craftsmen of cinematic horror.

The place is not important; let us call it "Africa." Once off the plane, he struck out on foot. Eventually, he came upon a giraffe. "Here," he said to himself, "is a horse that was born with an enormously long neck. If I could get this back to America I could make a fortune exhibiting it as a freak of nature. Freaks of nature are always good investments." He bought the giraffe from a native for a Kodak camera. (The native was too smart to tell the man that he didn't own the giraffe, that it was a free agent.) He took the giraffe back to America, smuggling it aboard the jet with his luggage. He began to exhibit the giraffe as a freak of nature, but was dismayed when a scientist from a local university told him that such creatures were as common in Africa as horses are in America. "Why is it," he asked himself, "that all horses in Africa are born with long necks?" This set him to thinking, and he finally figured out that he should pay the scientist (Dr. A H. Arborn) not to say anything. And that man's name was Charles Darwin. Sometimes I think that life is just a dream. (Merrily, merrily, merrily, merrily.) Other times I think that a dream is life. (Usually when this happens, I am in a horizontal recumbent position and do not respond when called in a quiet voice.) Neither of these is a very attractive theory, so let's not think about them. Instead, would you like to hear one of my dreams? I am in bed (this part of the dream is astonishingly accurate, for, by coincidence I really was in bed at the time) driving a car down the sidewalks of a university. Suddenly, the car goes down a flight of stairs, onto the roof of the dormitory. The students all run out, to help me get the car back onto the road, but by this time I am fast asleep (another astonishingly accurate detail) Later I wake up to find that it is time to get up. wake up. I �w Isaac Singer: ofPolish shtetl and traditional old-country tales by Michael SllverMatt Contributing Editor Isaac Belshavis Singer is a small man with very white hair. There is a Jewish way of growing small, it comes with age. As my grandmother grows older, she grows shorter; my grandpa grew very thin and small. Singer is compact, foxy. He shakes hesitant small in that way fingers to modulate assertions. He brings jaw and neck forward to listen carefully. He is seventy, I think, though before he arrived someone had told me he was eighty and the day after he left someone else said ninety-two. He is a sprightly fellow; he dances somewhere between those ages. a modern literary school of haters, of writers who use language viciously, of writers who remember a holocaust physical or spiritual, historical or familial, whose fiction lives among charred bodies. Pogrom or dinner table in Brooklyn, hiding from the Nazis or hiding from the Mom has there really been a difference in. modern Jewish fiction? — - Jewish writers I'd only recently begun to read his work. I think I'd been afraid to read another Jewish writer. Philip Roth, I find, offers a kind of hate I fear and know too well. Bellow's Mr. Sammler’s Planet is another hater's book, only here the hatred springs from fear. Malamud, I've never read. In Singer's work I find the fictive stuff I love; ghosts, dybbuks, obsessions; the stuff I find in my grandmother's stories, the fascination in nineteenth century fiction, the transfixing power of folktales. Singer tells stories; of the Polish shtetl Manhattan cafeterias, two or three are about the Jews in Argentina ("Have you read my story 'Hanka' in this week's New Yorker?" Singer asks. "I think it is one of my best.") He writes about Polish Jews, he doesn't write about American Jews, he doesn't understand them well enough. ("Aren't there any goys in your novels?" Dwight "They're Macdonald asked. "Oh, there are goys, but for comic relief," Macdonald finishes off the sentence. "They are minor characters," Singer smiles. The issue is —" closed.) And so, though I'd only read his very recent work, I wanted to meet I.B. Singer. He is a writer who succeeds in bringing Jewish tradition to his work, he is idiomatic but his language is crystalline, never awkward. I had thought that being a Jewish writer meant being allied to Dinner with Singer I spoke to members of the Jewish Student Union who were bringing Singer to the campus and arranged a dinner with him. Invited to the dinner were Dwight Leslie Fiedler, Ruthven Todd and a few of my friends. The dinner was "officially" an opportunity for Singer to meet members of the English Department. Singer is a vegetarian. He told us that he is against "even human slaughter," thought of what he'd said, and amended his phrase to "humane slaughter". Kosher butchery is butchery too. We brought him to the Blacksmith Shop, Buffalo's makeshift answer to a vegetarian restaurant. Heavy snow, Buffalo's makeshift response for climate. We went to the University Manor to get Singer. When I enter Singer's motel room he is already speaking to Dwight Macdonald; "You are teaching Poe. A genius. In America, they invented him, they do not think he is a genius, but where I come from he is a genius." Singer says he doesn't like the poem about the crow. Over-rated. Questioning reveals he means "The Raven" and Dwight agrees whole-heartedly. Over-rated. These two are clearly friends. "If I had power," Singer says, "I would give you a medal for teaching Poe." He stops and seems to consider the idea ridiculous. In the tone of voice that vocally approximates a shrug, he adds: "But I have no power." I am introduced. Singer latches the door of his motel room and turns to us. He smiles impishly. "Let us go down my way. This is the door the demons use." He motions us to follow and he leads us into the bathroom. No door. He turns around. "I am thinking of a different place. Come." He leads us back to the door, unlatches it. He shrugs. "The demons will follow us." In the car there are five. In the front seat my friend Terry, sitting next to her Owight Macdonald. In the back seat, a tight squeeze, me, Isaac Singer and Ruthven Todd, the poet. The snow allows no vision but, occasionally, a lampost's light. Singer is to speak in the Tillmore Room in two hours. "You will agree with me, he says, "If I get an audience tonight, there is a God. Laughter. ‘I turn to Singer. "Mr. Singer, I read your most recent book, A Crown of Feathers, and I think it is your best. It made me float." I am speaking, I am aware, in the way I speak to my grandparents. Slowly and without any assumption. Clearly Singer knows the name of his book, I needn't tell him. "My young friend," he says, "I wish I, too, could float If I could float, after my speech I could float home." Everyone laughs and I feel foolish. Practically my last speech for the evening. At dinner. Singer speaks about fiction. He doesn't like The Painted Bird. Too much violence. When a novel has that much violence and sensationalism it is something else, not a novel. Not aesthetic. He dislikes solipsistic fiction. He does not beliefe a writer should write about another writer. Or about famous people. Even Tolstoy, he says, could not describe Napolean. The novel is about people, not about masses. He loves Madame Bovary but Flaubert fails in Salambo. Babel's "Taras Bulba" is a disappointment. The novel and the story are about individuals. You cannot write about the incineration of masses, it is too strong, not artistic. m Originality someone "I agree with you on that about Wiesel, said "If you will agree with me about Wiesel, I will agree with you about anything." Elie Wiesel writes only about " the holocaust. Although Singer is a writer whose stories are apparently simple, I realize that he is a careful craftsman who understands his subject and his limitation. When he was young, he said, he loved Aleichem and wrote a Sholom Aleichem story, he loved Knut Hamson and wrote a Knut Hamson story. "Now I am an old man, I write my own stories." Singer's wit, his intelligence, his naive pleasure in the things around him made melting him thrilling. There must be a God, at least for Singer: when he entered the Fillmore Room, there was an audience of five hundred to applaud his remarkable speech. >tere« $ens by Mark Tobak "best buy" items.

The intro to "Taxi" was greeted by a thunderous round of applause. Her rich, full, high-pitched voice filled every corner of the hall. She displayed tremendous control over her voice throughout the concert as her vocal chords changed octaves and she accepted them warmly. "All I Want" and "Blue" were done with tremendous feeling. David Crosby said once that Joni Mitchell is the best songwriter he has ever known. "A Case Of You" demonstrated her writing talents as it also proved her ability to reach high notes without the slightest sign of strain or crack in her voice. Scott accompanied her a number of times on flute, recorder, clarinet and sax. Joni told an interesting story about her "get back to nature" days. She described the cabin in which she was living before her house in the woods was completed. Joni said that she always kept three chairs in her cabin; one for herself, one for company and one for society. Her grand finale was "Raised On Robbery," and what an amazing number — it was. The combination of her rythmic guitar-playing, her sweet, rich voice and her vibrant energy were both musically captivating and totally mesmerizing.

Blackjack, roulette, dice and other casino games were to be featured. In essence people would be gambling for money, which technically is illegal. However, these overt types of gambling are carried out by many churches and other non-profit organizations (which include S.A. IRC). The money raised was going to the music room to purchase a new stereo (the old one was stolen). The administration (Ron Stein, student legal services; Ray Becker, food service; Cliff Wilson, Rick Scholkopk and Pete Gulley from housing) all felt that it was in violation of Buffalo Laws, State Liquor Authority regulations and University rules. Investigative work done by Student Rights Co-ordinator, Cliff Palefsky revealed, (after speaking to the Buffalo police) that as a rule they “look the other way” during these events and would do so for Monte Carlo Night. The State Liquor Authority concurred and would do the same. The administration, however, would not budge from their obviously ridiculous position. If everyone else would have “looked the other way,” why not the University? j) £ i & , — Malcolm Kuim The Spectrum 1974 Howie Kurtz — Janis Cromer Dave Simon Gerry McKeen Advertising Manager Production Supervisor Joel Altsman Manager — — — The Spectrum is served United Press International, College Press The Service, The Los Angeles Times Syndicate, Publishers-Hall Syndicate, Chicago Tribune-New York News Syndicate and the Intercollegiate Press by Bureau.

Editorial policy is determined by the Editor-in-Chief, by Barry Kaplan There has been a spate of publicity the past few months pertaining to the future of the Colleges upon this campus. Somewhere under the of charges, countercharges, lies, morass and ego-tripping, distortions, the real circulation-expanding yellow journalism, issue has been obscured. Throughout the wearisome rhetoric, the role and meaning of education in modern society has been evaded by personalizing the issues; and making it a plaything for third-rate aspiring campus politicos. The question has nothing to do with grades, course hours, course descriptions, instructor credentials, or the division of power between equally myopic factions it has to do with our society’s conception of education. People go to college to “get” an education the assumption being that education is like a loaf it is of bread. Thus education is “gotton” affirmed by the diploma, and recognized by society in the form of appropriate status and income. Education in this conception divides life from school you learn in school, but as soon as class ends, so does “education.” Education from kindergarten to graduate school thus is divorced from life, made a burden that is imposed by society and parents upon an unwilling child. Education is measured by the game of credit hours, quality points, standardized exams, reports, and other measurable quantities. This type of education results in all sorts of deceitful tactics ranging from plagarism to courses, that are seen as an instant A, rather than as an education. Education actually is the process that accompanies the individual from birth to death; it cannot be measured. It includes school but it is also various jobs, late-night raps, realization of “wrong” acts, and all of the other facets that comprise one’s life. Education in the formal sense is a valuable tool, if used in a comprehensive manner, to further enlarge the boundaries of maturity and understanding. It is part and parcel of life; it cannot be separated or ignored. Henry Adams, in his famous autobiography The Education of Henry Adams described his composed of life as a process of education both the formal and informal methods of learning. Life according to Adams, was “education,” and school a tool and methodology to be utilized in order to comprehend facets that add to one’s vistas. The debate over the Colleges is actually one aspect of the division between formal and informal education. The Colleges, like many other institutions before it, have attempted to remove the division between the two branches of education and to make so-called institutional or formal learning as enjoyable and exciting as informal learning. Thus many of the courses are conducted by “relevant,” deemed “nonqualified” instructors, graded contrary to the rules of formal education, and taught by formal education calls that techniques unstructured. This is not to say that all College courses are like this, only that the aspects that have been denounced have emphasized these points. It is truly unfortunate that there is definitely — gear.” — 2'//^ — to me that these fellows are acting obnoxious children. They are denying approximately 900 people an enjoyable evening and a stereo to the music room, for no good reason. The argument of illegality is totally absurd as the outside authorities will not bother us. I tried to explain this to Mr. Stein, but he just reminded me that the organizer (myself) would face being taken to court, expelled, and fined, all of which he would recommend and prosecute. Faced by these overly severe consequences and mamouth hassles, Monte Carlo Night, unfortunately has been cancelled. 1 would now like to thank all those people who were going to work as dealers, croupiers, cashiers, etc. for the time and effort they put in. Maybe there will be a Monte Carlo Night in the future when these “children” of the administration grow up and “get their heads in Managing Editor •t 2 — It seems Friday, 15 February 00 00 •i — like Vol. 24, No. 55 1 £ To the Editor: Business am?

I oeiCR SAIP (T lf5 (JOT MV I josr WAUIEP IS fc some truth to the charges that have been leveled at some of the Colleges. The largest proportion of late grades come from the Colleges, many of the courses are utilized as gut courses, many of the instructors are incompetent and couldn’t teach my dogs to excrete, and many of the courses have no structure, no framework, no pattern of discovery. Many courses range from idiotic to the absurd. I might feel there is merit in most of the courses, but a course like “The Lev Course” does make me wonder about the ability of some of the people in College E. These statements are based on my own experiences, people that I know who have taken College courses, and my own attempts to create a learning experience within the classroom. You don’t need a Masters to teach, you really don’t need any degree to teach, but you do have to understand that teaching is an art, a desire, a relationship nourished by time, work, and consideration. Many students, twisted by early learning experiences, take advantage of courses that are geared to learning in an informal manner. The Colleges have been a victim of these students, plus the dogmatic and myopic defenders who cannot admit that the Garden of Eden does contain snakes and apples. The Colleges are admirable in what they attempt to do, yet due to the division between formal and informal education, they face a precarious existence. The Colleges are ensconced in a system whose values, goals, methods and techniques are antithetical to those of the Colleges. Both are dedicated to learning, to the concept of education yet they are defined in different terms. There is no solution, but the Colleges should not be destroyed, they should not be diluted, they should not become part of the fiefdom of official administration, yet the Colleges must cleanse themselves. If the goal is to combine “education” with life, then the Colleges can instruct and guide a person who wishes to learn and grow intellectually. Yet the division between education and life is so strong that the Colleges are perceived as a threat to the system that perpetuates that difference. If the Colleges wish to survive, then they must purge themselves of those parasites that are sucking at their vitality. Structure, goals, plans, and other manifestations of institutional learning are helpful if used properly. Those instructors that use the Colleges for ego trips, paychecks, or in order to promote a various idea hurt the majority of the courses that contribute to education. Of course these problems are not, endemic to the Colleges, but in their attempt to combine education and life, the Colleges have fostered many abuses. Save the Colleges. Yet remember what education should be it is not a free A, nor is it a weekly rap session in which a student gets four credits. If some of the more controversial courses are dropped and their students were really into learning, they would continue the course without but realize its the credits. Save the Colleges but understand why flaws. Save the Colleges but you want them saved. Save the Colleges purge and cleanse their weaknesses from within. — - — — — Friday, 15 February 1974 . The Spectrum . Page fifteen �Legal Dope by Peter Califano One day my roommate. Bob (the names have been changed to protect the guilty) found out he had to leave Buffalo due to an emergency at home and told me that he would be gone approximately three months. I reminded Bob that he still had a legal obligation to our lease and would thus be required to pay rent for the three months that he would be gone. Bob understood this and the next day he found a subletter, Tony, who was a close friend of his. I then questioned Bob on whether he had put the three-month subletting agreement into writing. Bob reassured me that Tony was a close and trusted friend and therefore there would be no trouble in getting the rent paid. But I insisted, since I had also signed the lease and thus had an obligation to it, and I wanted something signed between them for my protection. After a brief debate on this subject. Bob agreed to draw up a simple written contract. The contract between Bob and Tony is called an express contract since it is an agreement that is expressed in words, writing or speech About two months after Tony had signed the contract, he came to me with surprising news. Tony revealed to me that he was moving out for some odd reason. When I questioned him about the rent for the next month, he told me that he couldn’t afford it and saw no reason to pay it since he was moving out. I then went to Legal Aid and told them the entire story. They informed me of Tony’s legal obligations and the possible legal recourses that were available to me if Tony remained obstinate. I then approached £ony and disclosed all of my information calmly but firmly to him. After a few days of bad feelings, Tony finally agreed to pay his portion of the rent. Of course, the agreement between Bob and Tony in the above situation is called a contract. Unless a statute requires a particular form, contracts may be oral or written. EVen if it is not required as in the case above, there are many situations where it would be sensible and very desirable to reduce an oral contract into a written one. Although purely speculative, the fact that Bob had a written contract with Tony, probably saved us a trip to Small Claims Court which would have been our only legal recourse ifTony refused to pay his rent. When a person decides to form a simple, written contract, there are specific content requirements to be met in writing up the body of.the contract. They are: 1. Date and place of makihg the contract 2. Names of the parties. 3. Obligations of each party, including the subject matter and conditions to be met. 4. Any specific requirements or conditions such as- alterations, repairs, and notification of any change in address. 5. Signature of the party who assumes the obligation. This is the “party to be charged.” One should always be sure to have contracts that are required by the Statute of Frauds to be in writing, are in fact written and include all terms. But whenever possible, seek the advice of a lawyer in the of an important contract. This advice and other simpler questions can always be answered at the Legal Aid Clinic in Room 340 Norton Union. Although it.takes some time and your friends might seem taken back at your suggestion “to put it in writing,” simple written contracts provide insurance for the protection of innocent parties when an agreement becomes “questionable.” Simple written contracts can ultimately save time and aggravation; after all, there are a lot of more finer things to occupy our time than with hassling. 309 Townsend at 2:00 p.m. Open to the public Sponsored by: Councilon International Studies w the evolution is coming! returns the body to But don't hold your a natural posture and induces a more breath waiting.

He was one of 34 young people from the United States who participated in a tour sponsored by the National Council of American-Soviet Friendship. In this final article of a three-part series, Mr. Krehbiel examines the Soviet Union and its relations with other countries and peoples. The Soviet Union feels that the Soviet-American summit talks have helped in easing world tensions to avoid the possibility of nuclear war. The Soviets also envision the developing of peaceful relations among countries with opposing social systems, as well as mutual cooperation on problems that concern all people, such as the preservation of nature and the eradication of widespread diseases. In the area of cultural exchanges, our gfoup Was among the "90,000 foreign youth visitors to the Soviet Union each year, while about 70,000 Soviet youths travel abroad. The strengthening of human bonds strengthens the bonds of peace between nations. Since the Soviet Union made such tremendous human and material sacrifices in the war against fascism, with deaths totaling 20 million, they made it clear that they highly valued world peace. In Leningrad, we were shown pany buildings that had been destroyed by the Nazis, and many streets where the dead piled up for months. We were told that practically every family in Leningrad suffered a loss in the war. They fully realize the incalcuable losses that would result from a nuclear war today, and have pushed for a ban on nuclear weapons in the United Nations since its first session in 1946. This socialist consolidation is carried out through trade with other socialist countries, which comprises almost two-thirds of Soviet foreign trade. The Council for Mutual Economic Assistance (CMEA) links Bulgaria, Cuba, Czechoslovskia, German Democratic Republic, Hungary, Mongolia, Poland, Romania and the USSR in mutual economic aid. With only 10% of the world’s population, this economic community produces nearly one-third of the world’s industrial output. The USSR also trades with and gives aid to the Democratic Republic of Vietnam (North Vietnam), and the Korean People’s Democratic Republic (North Korea). cooperation This is extended the through development of socialist integration, which integrates the economies of the socialist world. This presumes an the spheres; through ideological struggle; and by renouncing the use of war. The Soviet Union sees the major contradiction in the world today as between imperialism (capitalism expanded on a world scale), and socialism; they clearly oppose capitalism and imperialism, and firmly believe in world socialism. But socialism isn’t going to be “exported” to any country, because socialism can only develop through the efforts and desires of a country’s own citizens, particularly its working-class. ’ Classless society seen Their foreign policy calls for the consolidation of the socialist world and the building of conditions for the development of communism: a classless society of the future, where all people will consciously live by the maxim, “To each according to his needs, from each according to his ability.” countries and the United States. International trade is encouraged by the USSR because it will aid the economies of many countries, including their own; they believe the socialist mode of production will show, through example, that socialism is more efficient and beneficial to serving human needs. In the struggle against colonialism and imperialism, the Soviet Union supports and gives aid to national liberation movements in developing countries. Of special importance is the support and aid given to the Vietnamese in their struggle against U.S. domination. Soviet students in Moscow told me there were Vietnamese students studying at Moscow University, learning skills that will help their country. I was also told that the Soviet people held rallies in support of the Vietnamese, and that workers would volunteer to work overtime on days off to supply Vietnam with additional supplies. Helping national liberation Le Duan, First Secretary of the Vietnam Workers Party, said in the Soviet Union in July 1973: ‘The Vietnamese people will always remember that Soviet workers, collective farmers and intellectuals gave all the warmth of their hearts, and their creative labor to making For ten years weapons and other products for Vietnam now, Soviet specialists have been working in all parts of North Vietnam, ignoring hardships and privations, helping the Vienamcse people with all their hearts in construction of a new life.” The USSR also gives aid to the national iberation movements in the African nations of Guinea, Angola, and Mozambique others, in their struggle for independence. Demands that the Portugese colonialists and the racist regimes in South Africa and Rhodesia be removed have been backed by practical aid to the popular ... movements. One of the most explosive spots in the world today is the Middle East. The USSR supports the U.N. resolution 242, passed in 1967, calling for Israel to return to its pre-1967 war borders. While defending the existence of Israel, they oppose her military policies against the Arab people and the occupation of Arab land. Capitalism vs. socialism The foreign policy of the Soviet Union is based on the Leninist principles of peaceful co-existence between states with differing social systems, equality of nations, and struggle against colonialism, imperialism, and all forms of national oppression. Under the policy of peaceful co-existence, the territorial rights of all countries arc to be respected, and differences between nations are to be resolved through the social, economic and political .dairy plants ih Guinea, with the industries being owned and controlled by the recipient countries. The USSR, also has trade agreements' with most Western European What imperialism? Support and aid has gone to Cuba, and to Chile under Allende, as well as to other developing countries in Latin America. Support is going to the persecuted Chilean people, but all relations have been cut with the military dictatorship. Muscovites greet the envoys from the Democratic Republic of North Vietnam. international division of labor, whereby one socialist country produces a great amount of a certain product to be exchanged with other socialist countries which produce a great amount of other products. Aid to developing countries We were told that Hungary produces a great amount of busses for mass transit, so the USSR doesn’t produce many. Socialist countries jointly participate in drafting forecasts, in planning research, and in the actual production and exchange. Work brigades from other countries are working in the USSR and vice-versa. The Soviet Union also encourages economic cooperation with developing countries. Among other things, Soviet assistance goes towards steel production in India, power plants in Egypt, oil production in Iraq, and Because of their relations with many foreign countries, the Soviet Union is sometimes criticized as being the same as the United States: dominating smaller countries, and even being imperialistic. Cuban Prime Minister Fidel Castro said at the Conference of Non-Aligned Nations meeting in Algeria in September 1973: “How can the Soviet Union be labeled imperialist? Where are its monopoly corporations? Where is its participation in the multinational companies? What factories, what mines, what oil fields does it own in the underdeveloped world? What worker is exploited in any country of Asia, Africa or Latin America by Soviet capital? The economic cooperation that the Soviet Union provides to Cuba and many other countries comes not from the sweat and sacrifice of the exploited workers of other peoples, but from the sweat and efforts of the Soviet workers . . . without them, the end of colonialism and the balance of power in the world that favored the heroic struggle of so many peoples for their liberation, wouldn’t have been possible.” uu HEY BOZO'S STEAKS Friday February 22 (Sat. , • & Sun.)

The Eagles extended a slim 4544 margin at intermission to a commanding 6245 edge, and Staff Writer The cage Bulls extended their losing streak to six with a 103-89 loss to Brockport State in the “friendly” confines of Clark Hall Tuesday night. The win ran the Eagles record to 12-8, while Buffalo dropped their 19th in 21 decisions, including three losses in Clark. The Bulls have dropped all but two games at home in the past three yeart. “We got beat bad. Nobody for us played as good as he could play,” assessed Bulls mentor Leo Richardson. In contrast, Buffalo assistant coach Bob Case observed, “Every kid for them, except Gilliam, played above his head. We’ve seen them play two or three times before, and this is the best they’ve ever played.” coasted in from there. Despite a definitive 5643 board advantage, which included 17 missed tip-in attempts, the Bulls were constantly outmuscled and outfinessed by the quicker Brockport front-liners. Buffalo center Mike Jones, who had his finest offensive night of his career with 23 points (10-19 from the held) and 14 rebounds, was constantly burned by Eagle centers Willie Sanders and Kevin Williams. “Jones didn’t play as good as he can play,” observed Richardson. “Everyone he covered was effective for Brodcport.” Williams was particularly effective coming off the bench for the visitors, pulling down eight rebounds, The lack of defense for the Bulls was again in evidence as their opponents surpassed the century mark for the fourth time this season. Turnovers and fouls plagued both teams, as 48 fouls, including 12 offensive fouls, were whistled, $nd 45 turnovers were commited. Buffalo threw the ball away 15 times en route to 24 turnovers. Particularly puzzling were seniors Ken Pope and Rayfield Goss, who were counted on for stability for the young Bulls. The senior back courtmen combined for half of the Bulls turnovers, including key miscues whenever the Bulls would come back to within six points (four times in the second half)“They were just too quick for us,” recounted Case. “I just can’t figure out why they haven’t got a better record than they have.” “They came to play,” said Richardson. Our kids just didn’t think they could play. Even though we’ve been telling them all week they could play, but they just didn’t believe it.” The Bulls face a tough Gencsco squad tomorrow night, and unless they decide they can indeed play basketball on the same court as their weaker State University sisters, it could again be a long night for Buffalo basketball fans.

The breakthrough climaxed a citizens-action effort by 33 students, spanning three semesters of a task force seminar taught by Beverly Paigcn. Information released Beginning in January 1972, the first of these classes compiled a list of companies which were producing an excessjye amount of particulates (dust and sulfur dioxide). They discovered that the coke ovens at Bethlehem Steel, Allied Chemical and Donner Hanna accounted for 23% of Erie County’s total air pollution. Bethlehem was creating 1800 approved which guaranteed that information given by industries to Air Pollution Agencies would be made public. Soon afterward, Rachel Carson College published an unprecedented list of 100 of the major polluters in Erie County. “Each year, the Eric County Air Pollution Agency puts out an annual report,” Dr. Paigen said. ‘This was the first time ever that the public was actually made aware of how much [pollution] each company was putting out.” ‘Dirty dozen’ Directing its assault toward the “top twelve” companies, the Task Force soon determined that nine of the “dirty dozen” were already in the process of building or planning anti-pollution devices, and decided to direct its efforts toward cleaning tip the coke ovens at Bethlehem, Allied and Donner Hanna. ‘‘The existing pollution law pertaining to coke ovens was so weak it wasn’t even a law,” Dr. Paigen contended. “It permitted the companies to put out so much pollution that they weren’t even putting out as much as they were allowed,” she said. As the investigation intensified, the group uncovered evidence that the three companies had annually bypassed" the Slate of New York’s hearings on air pollution by testifying that the available technology was not sophisticated enough to reduce After interviewing experts in the steel industry and corresponding at length with the Federal Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), several of the students initiated a public hearing and testified that existing technology could be harnessed to make the air cleaner. Successful efforts, they reported, had already surfaced in Germany and Japan. pollution. tons of wastes annually, while Donner and Allied were producing 300 tons each. Before laying eyes on any pollutions statistics, however, the Task Force had to battle against an Erie County Law which prohibited the release of such data, despite the existence of a federal statute which made it public information. After successfully arguing their case before Erie County’s Air Pollution Agency and Management Commission, the students went directly to the office of: County "Executive Edward Regan. Largely through his efforts, the group was able to present its case before the Environmental Task Force of the County Health Department. As a result, a new regulation was Final nudge Again the students prevailed. A hearing officer from the State Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) ruled against the coke companies, and within three months, new regulations went into effect mandating Bethlehem, Allied and Donner to submit plans for constructing anti-pollution devices by October of that year. “1 think the state wanted to pass a new law about coke ovens but we were the type of citizen pressure that gave them the final nudge to do it,” Dr. Paigen said. “We dug into a lot of information they didn’t know about, like how the stuff coming out of coke caused cancer. We found medical records that employees at the three companies had the highest cancer rate in the entire county. I would say that the law was changed as a direct result of our testimony at the hearing,” Dr. Paigen added. .� .The matter was far from resolved, however. Several months later in February 1973, the Task Force .contacted DEC and learned that the companies had still not submitted plans for pollution control.

Such a system was abandoned two years ago when pressure from other student organizations prompted the administration to delete the fee from the bill. However, collection of the fee by the Bursar is hoped to “assure adequate funding for activities and services at 3 separate regions,” a very high priority for IRC. Tighter financial controls were also suggested for IRC. To increase financial responsibility and accountability, the report recommended that the IRC treasurer work closely with Lcn Snyder, vice president for Auxiliary Enterprises, to implement regular bookkeeping procedures. Autonomy maintained Closer working relationships in activities planning with Student Association and UUAB are recommended, although the report cautioned: “IRC must be autonomous to best represent the dormitory community.” IRC should actively seek input front the resident advisors (RA’s) who are in day-to-day contact with the problems of dorm students, the report also stated.

Complete evaluation The Task Force was initiated two weeks ago when IRC called for a complete evaluation of all its operations. Chaired by former IRC president Gary Cohn, the meeting was attended by IRC officers and reps, House Council officers, interested dorm residents and former IRC officers. At that time, rumors of an IRC disbanding were laid to rest and committees were formed to investigate certain problem areas and suggest resolutions. Those committees included: financing, IRC structure, Amherst campus, activities, dorm facilities, security and food service. Additionally, a complete evaluation and future plan for IRC Businesses, Inc. is being carried out by Sanford Kimmel, a former member of the IRCB, Inc. board of directors. IRCB, Inc. currently operates two cooperative grocery stores, a travel bureau, a refrigerator and bicycle rental service and radio station WIRR. Thursday’s meeting will be held at 9 p.m. in Goodyear Cafeteria. All interested dorm residents are urged to attend. The Inter-Residence Council (IRQ will meet Thursday to take steps for the restructuring and expansion of the organization. The preliminary report of the IRC Evaluation and expansion task force will serve as the starting point for the sweeping revision of IRC and its non-profit service corporation, IRC Businesses, Inc. (IRCB). The task force report recommended a restructuring of the IRC Executive Committee, replacement of dorm House Councils with broader-based Area Councils, and expansion of the services provided through IRCB, Inc. Specifically, the report suggested that four IRC officers President, vice president for Activities Planning, vice president for IRC Businesses, Inc., and treasurer be elected each spring and that IRC representatives, and Area Council officers and reps be elected in early fall. — — Pollution victory against a corporation, the group chose to sue the state of New York for not enforcing the new law under the provisions of the Federal Clean Air Act of 1970. Sixty days before the suit was to have begun, the Task Force filed a letter of intent to sue with both the EPA and DEC. As a result, the state immediately took steps to enforce the law. A compliance schedule was formulated, outlining how and when anti-pollution construction would get underway. Before the agreement became legal, however, the Rachel Carson students insisted on another public hearing so they could scrutinize what had transpired between New York State and the three companies. Said Dr. Paigen; “We wanted to know what was in that order, and we wanted to have our say as to whether it was a good agreement.” As expected, the compliance schedule was found to be blatantly unsatisfactory. “We thought the coke companies were getting away with murder,” Dr. Paigen asserted. ‘The state was literally selling out and several loopholes had been written into the document which were unacceptable.” Deciding to concentrate its efforts against Bethlehem Steel, the major polluter, four students from the Task Force testified against Bethlehem at the spring hearing. They attacked the inadequate use of available technology and the ambiguity surrounding the timetable for anti-pollution construction. ‘The compliance schedule only specified a vague ending date June, 1977” said Dr. Paigen, “so by law the companies really didn’t have to do a thing in between. If they failed to build adequate pollution controls, they would be given three more years to ‘try again’.” — ‘Atrocious’ To prove that the State’s lawyers who had negotiated the agreement “did not know anything about coke companies,” the Task Force again sought the aid of outside experts. One of these, a lawyer named Marvin Fein, had already succeeded in negotiating much tougher agreements with coke companies in Pennsylvania, according to Dr. Paigcn. “Mr. Fein felt the agreement was atrocious,” she maintained, “and testified that New York State was being taken for a ride.” Another “expert,” an engineer who had been in - . . STUDY IN —continued from page 1— GUADALAJARA, MEXICO Fully accredited University of ... charge of enforcing coke oven control in heavily-industrialized Pittsburgh, agreed with Mr. Fein. During the course of the hearing, indicated Dr. Paigen, “the other side didn’t say a thing,” presumably because the state had assured that the hearing was being held only because her group Had" so demanded, and that nothing would be changed. Nevertheless, as a direct result of the Task Force’s testimony, the. state completely reversed its position, withdrew the compliance order, and took the case out of the hands of the original lawyers. The matter was turned over to David Van Epps, a Buffalo resident who is regional attorney for the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation. Another hearing “Van Epps did a wonderful job,” Dr. Paigen said- “He came up with a very tough compliance schedule.” Predictably, the coke companies refused to sign the new agreement, and the matter went one step further to an “administrative hearing” last month. Similar in many respects to a court trial, decisions at administrative hearings may be appealed to the regular courts. Upon hearing both sides, the hearing office submits his recommendation to the head of DEC, who will then write out an order which becomes law. For the first time since the Task Force had decided to crack down on pollution, it was excluded from the actual testimony because administrative hearings are formal legal agreements that “have nothing to do with the public,” according to Dr. Paigen. Instead, her class acted as legal consultant. Although rebuttals had been expected, Bethlehem Steel did not contest most of the evidence. With its back firmly against the wall, the company pledged to spend $40 million toward pollution control over the next three years. The Rachel Carson College Environmental Task Force, it appeared, had finally won its war against local pollution. The hearing officer still must submit his recommendation to Albany, but Dr. Paigen is virtually certain of a favorable ruling. Additionally, she expects Allied and Donner to follow the example of Bethlehem Steel. ‘There are no legal loopholes in the new compliance order,” said Dr. Paigcn. “Bethlehem Steel will be clean by mid-1977.” Page two The Spectrum Wednesday, 13 February 1974 sgol . rmnt'jsqS ariT M 1?!

Dr. Borst became embroiled in controversy last July when he led a successful effort to establish Clifford Furnace College as an autonomous unit by seceding from the Collegiate Assembly. The residential status of the College, he believed, placed it in basic disagreement with the other Colleges. “We have completely different there is nothing we purposes than the other Colleges not oppose,” Dr. Assembly does can do that the Collegiate Borst said on July 21. At that time, Collegiate Assembly representatives had strongly opposed any split by College D from the Assembly, maintaining they had never attempted to dictate policy to College D or hamper the College a freedom. Furnas College’s Borst arise by Larry Kraftowitz Campus Editor ... Lyle Borst, master of Clifford Furnas College (College D), resigned Thursday night. Dr. Borst has refused to comment on his resignation. However, several members of Clifford Furnas claimed that Dr. Borst, 61, resigned because he wanted to “take it easy” after leading the College for six long years. Spokesmen Collegiate system from both the residential College have also speculated that his departure may have been prompted by the recent passage of the new College Prospectus by the Faculty-Senate for “The Reichert Prospectus made no Colleges to exist external to the Colleges Council,” said Keith KIopp, acting administrative officer of the Collegiate System. There has been some question, he s?id, as to whether independent Colleges will be allowed to continue functioning outside the Collegiate structure through some other type of reporting relationship. Restraint “I personally didn’t think withdrawing from the Assembly was such a good idea," Mr. Klopp maintained. “Apparently Lyle felt he was under too much restraint physically, financially and administratively, and didn't want to be burdened by the rest of the Colleges.” Mr. Klopp said the operation of Clifford Furnas had always contrasted with the administration of other Colleges. “Most of the original units had a significant amount of student direction in coordination and administration, while Lyle has been the driving force behind College D,” he asserted. “1 think there was conflict in the past over who had the right to do what,” added Mr. Prior dispute “I can’t really relate Horst’s resignation to the Faculty-Senate’s action,” said a member of College E. He said Dr. Horst had threatened to quit on two previous occasions, possibly because of conflicts with students over College D’s policies. “Horst is a freaky dude,” he added. “He’s always going against his own College. He’s a wierd man to like likeable in his eccentricity but not really , Klopp. -> friendly.” While agreeing that the Reichert Prospectus may have threatened Clifford Furnas College’s independence and provided some impetus for the resignation, one College D spokesman insisted Dr. Horst was not disliked within the College. “He built up the College from nothing and was a guiding force, so as far as people not liking him from within the College, it just isn’t so,” the spokesman maintained. “It was merely coincidental that his resignation came at the same time the Reichert Prospectus was passed,” contended Alan Koslow, a member of the residential College D. Dr. Borst had been planning to leave for two years, but Mr. Koslow said, students had unanimously asked him to remain with College D a while longer. “Dr. Borst’s decision was somewhat surprising,” he added, Dr. Lyle Borst because the College had voted overwhelmingly independent status only three days before. Own mind ' to retain its College D President John Grace declined to discuss the matter until the students had an opportunity to explore it at length with Dr. Borst. “1 can’t really say why at this Mark Erlebacher, a former resident of College D, surmised that Dr. Borst had run things in a fairly strong manner. “I’d say Borst took input from the students and that he encouraged follow-up on many students’ ideas which are now physical realities because of tak endorsement,” said Mr. Erlebapher. “But he did exercise ■ certain amount of influence by vetoing ideas he thought were not helpful to the College,” he explained. “There’s always been a lot of speculation that the reasons Dr. Borst has given for doing things are not the real reasons,” said another College D insider. Dr. Borst’s charade of resigning, he claimed, may therefore have been a “facade for his being fed up with things.” In a brief telephone interview with The Spectrum Sunday night, Dr. Borst refused to comment because of The Spectrum’s “poor coverage” of College D. “1 don’t think The Spectrum writes objective stories,” Dr. Borst said. Although the reporter from The Spectrum said that his sole reason for calling him was to get his side of the story and thereby heighten objectivity, Dr. Borst hungup on him. More to offer than just a bunch of old mummies by Rich Lapping Staff Writer Spectrum When was the last time you saw a mummy, or gazed at the vast spacial mysteries, or whispered sweet venom to a tarantula? Regardless of your scientific interest and orientation, the Buffalo Museum of Science contains scores of exhibits guaranteed to capture your undivided attention. A towering Peninsula Giant Bear awesomely greets nearly 1000 visitors daily. Once safely beyond the entrance, Marchand’s Cavern is a convenient first stop for refuge. This simulated cavern was named in honor of Paul Marchand, who designed many of the displays throughout the museum. The .cave is amazingly with realisitc; scattered abundantly and stalagtites stalagmites. Stonehenge models The museum has a huge collection of mounted (stuffed) animals. All the mounting is done in the museum itself, by taxidermist Jim Dorr. Mr. Dorr also did the backgrounds and foregrounds for most of his exhibits. A freeze-dry unit has recently been added to the museum for quicker preparation in mounting animals. The mounted bird collection is very impressive. The multi-colored, feathery beauty of the Indian Peafowl alone is worth a trip to the museum. The Hall of Civilization contains highly detailed dioramas of past cultures. These intricate models depict lifelike scenes of Stonehenge, the Oriental Rice Culture of Luzon, and the com culture of the Hopi Indians. These particular exhibits will most assuredly send.toy sokUer fanatics from childhood into a tearful moment of nostalgia. The Hall of Astronomy is now being remodelled. The past exhibit was outdated, according to Ruth Schmidt, Editor of the musuem’s publications. Ernst E. Both, Astronomy Curator, and Dale Ransom, Senior Proprietor, are designing the new display. After three years in planning, it should be completed by this summer. This exhibit will “do the justice that textbooks miss” in the study and understanding of astronomy, Mr. Ransom said.

Draft evaders... draft is far from impossible. The initially-disappointing statistics on the Volunteer Army provide a dark omen for the return of mandatory railitray service. Thousands in Canada The threat of a revived draft should be enough to center attention on the problems which persist from the last inductions. Several years ago, the number of Americans living in Canada to military avoid service was estimated as high as 100,000. That figure has recently been toned down to about 15,000. About 2,500 war resisters applied for landed immigrant status in Canada during a brief grace period which ended in October 1973. The official Canadian government estimates indicate another 13,000 had settled there between 1964 and 1971. This puts the number of American exiles in Canada at a conservative 15,000. The resisters who have remained underground or changed their identity add considerably to this figure. Tracked down by FBI The last Americans to be drafted are still in the service. Their two-year tour of duty still has about ten months left. Amid the publicity arid advertising of the volunteer army, they have been all but forgotten. The problems of a draftee in an army that sees itself as “All-Volunteer” can be extremely frustrating. It is not just the draftees that are discontent with their position. Hundreds of young men enticed into enlisting in the service upon graduating or dropping out of school have found the situation unacceptable and feel deserted. Surprisingly, the number out the best possible solution to their problems. For reservations to the CAMPUS MINISTRY CONFERENCE Please call 834-2297 — — ■ .

When the center is informed of the arrest, they put the young men in touch with a lawyer. Under such difficult circumstances, the best they can do is make sure all possible options are left open. The number of American exiles arrested upon re-entering the country is amazingly high.' One of the Draft Counseling Center’s counselors told of a young man who was arrested at the Peace Bridge one Saturday night when he tried to visit his girlfriend in Buffalo. He had assumed his presence had been forgotten. Most exiles are not aware of how closely their movements are followed by American authorities. Arrest at international airports when flights are blown off course and forced to land in the U.S. is another common occurence. Tight Federal surveillance results in a large number of arrests under such seemingly chance conditions. Well over 50 per cent of the FBI arrests last year were related, to draft and military violations. Federal authorities have not been as qyick to forget as the rest of the dountry. Their enforcement of now-dormant draft codes should serve as a reminder to all of the, dishonorable discharge can be avoided. Unless they are able to win a honorable discharge a slim chance the young man’s military record will plague him for the rest of his life. The Buffalo area, because of its proximity to the Canadian border, must deal with a distinctive set of problems. In addition to the servicemen and draft evaders from the local area, they must deal with the exiles returning from Canada who are picked up by Federal officials at the border. Blemished for life Once a soldier has been away from his post for 30 days, he faces the possibility of a long jail sentence. When they find their way to a counseling center, they are routinely advised to turn themselves in, and informed of the base where they will be treated with the greatest leniency. Once a deserter has surrendered the counseling agencies do their best to secure him a discharge on the most favorable grounds. With a certain degree of luck,and under circumstances, the a right ' —continued from page 1— of enlistees that go A.W.O.L. is higher than the draftees. After a period of 30 days, these men are put on the Federal Bureau of Investigation “wanted” files and tracked down as criminals. Once again, a general lack of awareness on the part of the public makes them . unsympathetic to the problems and difficulties facing these men. Groups such as the Vietnam Veterans Against the War, Winter Soldiers Organization and the Central Committee for Conscientious Objectors (CCCO) aid these men and help to work * - TICKETS S3QO • • • • • J • �Student coalition Existing College system revised from new Reichert Prospectus The recently-approved Reichert Prospectus for the Colleges will bring about a sweeping revision of the existing College system. Every current College will be required to win approval before a “chartering committee” by next January; any College which fails to win approval will cease to exist. Near-unanimous approval of the new Prospectus by the Faculty-Senate last Tuesday culminated months of work by Jonathan jReichert’s Colleges Committee and many hours of heated debate in the once-serene Facility-Senate. The chartering process is the key,point of the new Prospectus. The chartering committee will include six faculty members, three students and two Collegians. The Senate amended the original report to give the Colleges veto power over the six faculty appointments to the Chartering Committee and granted a similar-veto to the Faculty-Senate executive committee over the two College appointments to that Chartering Committee. Two Collegians added Extensive debate among faculty, students and Collegians highlighted discussion over the make-up of the proposed Chartering Committee. The Reichert Committee had recommended that no members of the current Collegiate Assembly be included on the Chartering Committee. They had recommended that members of the new College Council (which will replace the Collegiate Assembly) be included in the chartering process only after the first new College was approved. Alternatively, the Colleges proposed an amendment that would have given equal representation to faculty and Collegians on the Chartering Committee. The Faculty-Senate eventually adopted an amendment providing for two Collegiate Assembly members on the Chartering Committee during the interim period until the new College Council is operating. Advice and suggestions The proposed chartering process for establishing the new Colleges is a difficult one, dnd its rigorous nature is intended to increase the legitimacy of the Colleges. Under the guidelines in the Prospectus, all current Colleges will be granted continuing status until January 1975. During this time, each of the present Colleges must apply for official status. Those changeover dates must now be formally approved by the Faculty-Senate at next Tuesday’s meeting. Charters for Colleges will first be submitted to the new Dean of the Colleges and the College Council, the new body to replace the Collegiate Assembly, for advice and suggestions. Within one month, the Dean will submit the proposal to the Chartering Committee. That committee will then recommend that the proposed charter be adopted, rejected or modified. The charter will then be submitted to the Dean of the Colleges for his independent recommendation to the President, whose formal approval is necessary for implementation of the College charter. Detailed charter Faculty-Senate overruled the Prospectus’ for independent recommendations from the Academic Affairs vice president and Dean of Undergraduate Studies as well as from the Dean of the ' ' The provision Colleges. Colleges; a workshop program to develop new Colleges; and increased communication between Collegians, faculty and Administration. To promote increased faculty involvement in the Colleges, the Prospectus recommends that the Colleges receive funds to compensate regular University faculty by “purchasing released time from their departmental responsibilities." The Prospectus also recommended that the Administration recognize, reward and value teaching excellence when it is demonstrated in the Colleges. Explanations for the decline of faculty members teaching in the Colleges have ranged from a lack of rewards for faculty to the fear of losing tenure to the questions-of legitimacy in the Colleges. Any prospective College, with the exception of currently existing units, must begin with a one-semeater trial as a workshop. Proposals for workshops can be made by any faculty or student directly to the Colleges’ Dean. Designed to facilitate the development of new programs, “workshop” status must be held for a minimum of one semester. Workshops may offer non-credit seminars and other activities. After one semester, a Workshop may also offer courses for credit, following approval by the Dean and DUS. Funds will be made available to Workshops out of the overall College budget. No Workshop can exist for more than three semesters. After this trial period, the Workshop must apply for charter status as a new College or disband. ■• In the chartering process, each proposal for College status would be expected to include: the intellectual Pass/No credit option purpose of the proposed College; the educational style of The Reichert prospectus further states that the the College; course descriptions; and a list of College director of the Colleges should be renamed Dean and be personnel, including, but not necessarily limited to, the given authority equivalent to that of a provost.

The Prospectus also calls on the Administration to make a financial commitment to long-range funding of the 10% experimental The new Prospectus permits each College to offer 10% Colleges. The document suggests a minimum of six of its courses on an experimental one-semester basis. The residential and six non-residential Colleges, each sufficiently funded to be able to support substantial Colleges Committee report originally recommended that all College courses be required to gain prior Division of faculty participation as well as special programs and Undergraduate Studies (DUS) approval. normal operational expenses. A “Pass/No Credit” grading system will be instituted The “10% experimental” provision was a compromise between the Reichert argument for added legitimacy in the in the Colleges in addition to the normal grading Colleges and the Collegiate view that elimination of procedures. This system provides for greater flexibility in experimental courses would curtail the more innovative the more innovative programs. In courses operating under this system, students will be able to opt for the “Pass/No aspects of thp Colleges. The new Prospectus also calls for increased faculty Credit” system as well as normal grading procedures. The self-proclaimed aim of the new Prospectus is to involvement in the Colleges; a long-range financial commitment by the Administration to assure adequate create “strong, independent, intellectually respectable and viable Colleges that will have a significant impact on the planning and development; a “Pass/No Credit” grading undergraduate education of many of our students.” option; increased authority for the new Dean of the Deadline extended imenstedstudents, faulty worhty with student First time, full-time students who are in financial need may still apply for Basic Educational Opportunity Grants from the Federal Government, Health Education and Welfare Secretary Caspar W.

As every sixth-grader knows, corporations hold all the aces government influence, great sums of money, scores of loophole-wise lawyers against the feeble protests of powerless consumers. There are jokers in the deck for the consumer, however; onfes that are rarely used to their fullest extent. They are the environmental protection laws, and knowledgable citizens can wield enough clout with those legal tools to make even faceless corporations sit up and take notice. In an unprecedented example of legal ability and unyielding perseverance, three semesters of students in Beverly Paigen's Rachel Carson College class have struck a blow for clean air against the giant Bethlehem Steel corporation. For two years. Dr. Paigen's students had engaged in frustrating legal skirmishes against Bethlehem Steel, which produces 60% of the air pollution in Buffalo and Lackawanna. At first they couldn't even obtain Bethlehem's pollution statistics, although this data is public information by Federal law. Even after suing the State of New York under the Federal Clean Air Act of 1970, victory remained elusive during one legal run-around after another. Through persistent hard work, the students finally forced the matter into an "administrative hearing," which Bethlehem couldn't stall, evade or manipulate, and the steel corporation did not contest most of the evidence presented. As a result, Bethlehem Steel has pledged to spend $40 million over the next three years to curb air pollution. This is no small victory; to coerce a major industrial corporation such as Bethlehem Steel to spend$40 million on air pollution is nothing short of a major consumer breakthrough. For all the abuse aimed at the Colleges lately, this accomplishment should underscore their viability as a productive force for social action. Certainly Dr. Paigen's students received an unparalleled legal education in the ins and outs of corporate warfare. But the results should be heartening to the"powerless" consumers that Ralph Nader and PIRG, John Gardner and Common Cause, and so many other activists are trying to mobilize. People can move institutions occasionally, especially when armed with the right legal tools. In the battle against air pollution in Buffalo, Rachel Carson College has written a new chapter. — — What kind of Colleges? • The time has come for some serious thought and extensive dialogue about the future of the Colleges and education itself at this University. The hard-fought battles over the Reichert prospectus and the legislative details of the Chartering Committee have polarized the campus and obscured the more central educational questions which must now be faced. What kind of Colleges do we want? What factors will the Chartering Committee weigh most heavily in deciding who gets chartered and who doesn't? While the answers must await the formation of the committee, the new Prospectus only requires a detailed statement of methods of operation. A dialogue is most sorely needed between students, faculty, Collegians, administrators, the new committee and new Dean of the Colleges Irving Sptizberg to determine the minimum standards that new Colleges must meet. Those rigid regulations only standards must be flexible enough yield dull conformity to accommodate a broad diversity of Collegiate programs. The danger we have often warned against is an obsession by the committee with the number of Ph.D faculty teaching in each College, to the exclusion of valuable assets like professional community people and strong student interest. Many Colleges have been unable to attract faculty due to lack of funds, and the lack of any reward for Collegiate teaching for promotion-minded instructors. The Reichert Prospectus recognizes this by proposing released time and merit bonuses for Collegiate teaching. But to exclude progressive Colleges beforehand for having few faculty, without giving them a fair chance to attract them, is like castigating the poor for having no money. The need is for open-minded persons on the Chartering Committee, and perhaps the veto granted Collegians and faculty over each other can keep each side honest. But the larger need is for an extensive dialogue on the Faculty-Senate to delineate a flexible floor, in SA forums and elsewhere view of what's expected of the new Colleges (hopefully not a long list of Ph.D's), so as to give Colleges of every academic and political shade a fair chance to become chartered. — — — — — ftige six The Spectrum Wednesday, 13 February 1974 . . *WIUw Oil, MIT DON'T YOU NAVI Far from the truth To the Editor. In regard to your editorial of Feb. 11, 1974, “Give PIRG a chance,” your claim that S.A. allocated WNYP1RG only two thousand dollars ($2000) this year because “altering budget allocations in the middle of the year would have been too difficult.” Once again, Spectrum, you’re quite far from the truth. Difficulty played no part in PIRG’s allocation, rather impossibility did. You see, Mr. Editor, once S.A. budgeted its funds last May, it’s absolutely financially impossible to alter those allocations. The only budget which remained to be passed by the Student Assembly at the time of the PIRG question was the Athletic budget. Originally, Athletics was preliminarily budgeted for two hundred and twenty thousand dollars ($220,000), PIRG was made aware of the fact that the only available remaining money in the S.A. budget at that time would be if the lowered the Athletic Department allocation. Subsequently, the Assembly passed an effective Athletic budget at two hundred seventeen thousand, six hundred and seventy dollars ($217,670.00). Following this decrease given to Athletics, two thousand three hundred and thirty dollars ($2330.00) was reallocated to PIRG. So you see Mr. Editor, there was no bureaucratic obstinance involved here as you so blatantly point out. It seems that perhaps in your zest for fairness, you have misrepresented some very important facts. We would all agree that students do not know all they should about how their money is being spent. But rather than clearing up any misconceptions, you .have magnified them. My question now to you is whether you sincerely practice in future issues what you preach in past? Assembly Kenneth linker. Treasurer Student Association Outdoing Gelbaum The only problem with Or. Gelbaum’s proposal is that it doesn’t go far enough. If a class goes for 50 minutes three days a week, that is only 150 minutes or 2H contact hours per week. Obviously then, only 2.5 credits should be given #ot the course. Then we can progress to the polrit where University education should be the six-course load. — - To the Editor Ass kisser Defend against reactionaries To the Editor Gelbaum’s recommendation for a five-course load reflects the administration’s low regard for student intelligence and a continuing trend to hamstring progressive and experimental thought. Under the four-course load, students take responsibility to study in depth and more fully comprehend subject matter. Uridcr the five-course system, students are pressured to write less researched papers and become more oriented to examinations. The quality of education, of course, decreases. The idea that students will not devote more time to individual studies and need to be tutored, lectured, and conditioned to choices a, b, c, d is an insult to our intelligence. Furthermore, this five-course load, mind-conditioning system defeats the purpose of a university. This University should aid students and faculty to develop their personal capabilities to deal with their- subject matter ana develop their ability to affect personal and social growth. ■. Five courses would necessitate hiring of more professors who would probably be conservative and reactionary, as Ketter’s past appointments attest Beyond this, these extra professors would require additional funds. These funds are probably available for the state, or Gelbaum would not recommend the course increase. We must demand these funds, but use them for the fund-starved library, health care, and other services. Instead of using these funds to reinforce reactionary course load- systems and reactionary professors, these funds should be used the for progressive and experimental education Colleges. It is our fight to defend vibrant education against static reactionary methods. Come to the rally Thursday at one o’clock in the Fillmore Room. , - Daniel Cusimano Clarification To the Editor. I would like to clear up some misunderstandings which have arisen over the past week concerning elections coverage in the publications. In an article dated February 4, 1974,1 was misquoted concerning last year’s coverage of the elections. This quote, along with editorial comments concerning premature news coverage, have been viewed by many people as a jab at other campus publications. At this time I feel it best to clarify and possibly rectify this situation. The intent of my statements concerning election coverage was not to accuse any publication of wrong doing in the elections. I said that in the eyes of many candidates the elections coverage in one of the publications, was biased. The deletion of these words totally changed the content of my statement. Candidates running for office cannot be considered the judges of editorial endorsements by a newspaper, and in my own knowledge I would feel confident in saying that Ethos is judiciously following this year’s elections guidelines. The objective coverage given to election reforms this year by both publications was good and their intent deserve to be commended. I am confident this good intent will be carried over into this year’s elections and hope no hard feelings will develop over elections differences between the publications. David Saleh Executive Vice-president Student Association �Outside ooking In • by Clem Colucci Editor’s note: This is true. We were sitting on the Jamaica Avenue “L” smoking a joint with Fred, a Riker’s Island veteran on his way to the Bronx on his way to commit a Crime. Somewhere over South Brooklyn, Fred, a 6’2” black man in his early to mid-twenties, had come from the car in front of us, Larry and I were the only ones in the car, everyone else having gotten off at earlier stops. Fred entered the car, looked back over his right shoulder into the car from which he had come, walked to the right front door to look out the window, crossed the car with a pronounced sway, looked out the left front door and stopped about six feet in front of me. He reached into the left-hand pocket of his long, brown army surplus greatcoat and pulled out cigarettes, matches, a joint and a nasty looking pocket knife about five inches long closed." He palmed the joint, lit it and a cigarette, returned the pack to his left-hand pocket, opened the nasty-looking pocket knife now roughly nine inches long hefted it and, looking satisfied with its deadliness, placed it, still open, into his right hand pocket where he could whip it out and kill anyone he pleased including us. We sat transfixed, armed only with unbrellas, as Fred stood barely six feet away toking on the joint in his right hand while holding the burning cigarette in his left. It was ten minutes of sheer terror. I had visions of a wild duel me and possibly Larry with our umbrellas against Fred and his knife. Larry had a somewhat more realistic vision of a knife plunging into his gut. This continued for some time as Fred swayed with the motion of the train, smoking an illegal drug on a public train. Then we saw a body of water out the window. Larry identified it for me as New York Harbor. Then Fred turned and looked straight at me. “Oh no, we’ve offended him,” 1 thought. He walked slowly to my seat. I yas about to drop to, my_ knees and beg for my ‘Hfe wfieh he offered me the joint. 1 took it and toked deeply.

I wish to compliment The Spectrum and Marty Markowitz for publishing the article “Unauthorized use of phones uncovered by billing error,” which is .exceljpnt. example pf investigatory reporting tojwhich'vvilbbe of real benefit to the entire University community students, faculty, staff and administration. Contrary to the impression of some members of the University community, the University does not have an unlimited drawing account on the State Treasury to pay telephone bills. The University must pay for telephone service from a fixed appropriation which also covers the cost of instructional supplies and materials, equipment, books, postage and so on. To the extent that this appropriation is used to pay for unnecessary telephone service there is that much less available for the educational and research, programs of the University. - Charles Batkin Assistant Vice President for Business Affairs & Controller The Spectrum Vol. 24, No. 54 Wednesday, 13 February 1974 Editor-in-Chief Managing Editor papers.” The incident recurred in our conversation all through that day and on the Q-5 bus to Larry’s home, he said; “I’ve lived in New York for 20 years and never saw anything like that.” “It must be the kind of people 1 attract,” I replied. Silly little games To the Editor In the February 6th issue of The Spectrum , there werfe two articles I’d like to comment on. The first was an article on tenure by Renee Ryback. There is a current trend in the academic community and elsewhere to get away from titles that describe people on the basis of their sex rather than their function or position. Ryback uses the term spokesperson to refer to females and spokesman in referring to males. The purpose of a word such as spokesperson is completely nullified when a person becomes another synonym for female. The second article was by Clem Colucci, and appeared on the editorial page. I would like to think this article was a joke, but as it was presented in a fairly serious manner, I feel compelled to respond. Colucci’s so called new etiquette is bullshit. The “proliferating liberation movements” are seeking to tear down arbitrary rules and regulations which confine people to limited overly well defined roles. The whole point of liberation is that what is proper for women is equally proper for men and vice versa. Colucci suggests a series of silly little games based largely on what’s proper for males as opposed to females. If we have need for an etiquette book, and I sincerely doubt that we do, it should teach people to be considerate and honest good manners require — nothing more.

The friend was starting a band and wanted Fred to play lead guitar. Fred, who seemed a nice obliging fellow, readily agreed. But there was a problem: Fred didn’t have a guitar or amp. He also didn’t have any money. So Fred would meet his friend in the Bronx and pull a “sting.” They were going to rob a music supply store. That’s what the knife was for. The owner would be no problem, but the guard dog was another matter. “He gon’ get one of us,” Fred said, “but the other gon’ slit his back open quick.” Larry, who seems to like dogs better than people, cringed. Fred was on parole. He had been sent up to Ricker’s Island in June after being charged with burglary. The charge was thoroughly unjust, said Fred, because he had neither stolen property nor burglary tools. The most they could have gotten him for was illegal trespass. Oh yes, and possession of marijuana. His case was shuffled around for a few months, reaching State Supreme Court, and he eventually went to the Island for possession. He didn’t mind his stay because as soon as he got there he scored some dope and stayed high, quiet and well-behaved enough to be paroled for Thanksgiving. Now, out on parole, Fred was smoking marijuana in a public train and on his way to commit a robbery. So much for the American correctional system. Fred was a man of advanced political opinions: “This damn Nixon, man, he’s drivin’ me crazy.” Fred told us the energy crisis was responsible for his taking a train to the Bronx instead of driving to the scene of the crime. We all got off at the Chambers St. station, Fred to his next train and we to City Hall, exchanging cordial farewells and mutual wishes of good luck. “Who does better crime coverage,” I asked Larry, “the Times or the News ?” ‘The News," he answered. “Well have to get tomorrow’s issue and see if Fred made the — Janis Cromer — SARB loses Dave Simon Gerry McKeen Advertising Manager Production Supervisor Joel Altsman — - Backpage Campus City Composition Asst . ., Jay Boyar Raodi Schnur . .

Editorial policy is determined by the Editor-in-Chief Bruce Engel was quick to point out my political affiliations in his article in Friday’s The Spectrum concerning the Student Athletic Review Board. Yet Mr. Engel failed to print the real reason why Frank Jackalone was originally named to SARB and the real reasons that led to his resignation, one which I feel I must accept. As Mr. Engel well knows, Mr. Jackalone was probably one of the most active and concerned members on the Future of Athletics Committee. Not only did he show a true concern for Athletics, but it was Mr. Jackalone who was in great part responsible for the new guidelines to SARB, which I feel should definitely increase SARB’s effectiveness and its viability. To say that Mr. Jackalone is a highly qualified candidate for the Athletic Review Board is almost an understatement. In fact he probably would have been the most qualified candidate on the board. I find it truly unfortunate that I must accept his resignation. To say as Mr. Engel does that I have violated the spirit of the resolution in order to pick Frank Jackalone for SARB is almost an absurdity. And to have Mr. Engel further imply that I am responsible for playing politics with the board is even further ridiculous. The real people who played the politics are those who are afraid to see Frank Jackalone on SARB because of his political inclination to run for S.A. They are afraid that because Frank Jackalone truly cares for Athletics, a position on SARB would allow him further press coverage due to the work that he has performed on behalf of Athletics. All that I can say, and here I agree with Mr. Engel, the students come out the loser, for a good person was forced to resign from SARB. Warren Breisblatt Chairman, SARB Wednesday, 13 February 1974 .

Assistant conductor Robert Cole, who was to have made his Symphony Series debut in the second half of the program, assumed full conducting duties. Beethoven’s Seventh Symphony was substituted for Ms. von Stade’s intended vocal works. The confusion surrounding the program was not at all reflected in the performance. Opening the concert was Henry Purcell s “C ha cone in f minor,” scored for string ensemble. Cole and the orchestra members handled the of this shifting textures seventeenth work century smoothly. But the real proving ground was the next work, the vibrant Seventh Symphony of Ludwig von Beethoven. There was no way that the Orchestra could have had time to adequately prepare it with Mr. Cole. Yet, the players responded to him as if guided by telepathy. Entries were sharp and clear, a tribute to the abilities of both the conductor and the performers. Tempo Cole took the opening movement rather too slowly but gave a dynamicism to the movements that remaining ■ brought shouts from the floor. The dolorous Andante crisply offset the dance-like third and fourth movements. Ives Charles Second Symphony occupied the second half of the program. Ives is the father of the American experimental tradition in music. One of the things for which he is famous is his ability to dissolve fragments of popular tunes in the fabric of his music. The Second Symphony is a collage of Americana containing bits of “America the Beautiful Bringing in the Sheaves, My Maryland and “Columbia, Gem of the Ocean among others. ” ' The Philharmonic displayed an intimate rapport with this piece. Especially effective was the interplay between the percussion section and the tuba players, a producing raunchy, effect. Also marching-band deserving of special mention is the principal cellist, who dealt masterfully with his solo passages. The Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra can continue to give performances of this caliber with your support. One good way to help them is by attending ...a concert. The next one takes place this Saturday evening (with a repeat performance Sunday afternoon) at Kleinhans. On the program are Bach’s Brandenburg Concerto No. 3,” Schumann’s ‘Cello Concerto’’ and Brahms’ ‘Symphony No. 4. support College continuation note: The following statement was supported, and there is no gynecologist on this' submitted by a coalition of students and campus campus, which has thousands of female students, staff and faculty.

This is the second and study by faculty and students. In addition, the administration’s educational rally which has grown out of a developing coalition Editor’s of students and various campus groups to raise the issues of economic cutbacks and harrassment of radical, progressive educational programs. The organization of a coalition group began on February 5 when supporters of the Colleges walked out of the Faculty-Senate meeting where the new Collegiate Prospectus was being considered. This was the third such attempt to cooperate with that body to reach some sort of fair agreement. However, the Senate procedures and chairman gave explicit preference to Senators, and debate was limited. At one point in the meeting, a non-faculty woman in a highly publicized incident, was interrupted by the chairman as she tried to show the underlying causes and consequences of an amendment and to relate these to broader concerns affecting the decision. She was ruled out of order and the vote was taken as she continued to talk. This incident and the Collegiate struggle are only part of the harrassment and cutbacks taking place at SUNYAB. The University’s financial priorities are quietly eliminating whole groups of people from this campus. Over the past few years, tuition at the State University has steadily increased. When the new Amherst campus is fully operating, it will have thousands of white, middle-class students. Third world and lower-income students won’t be there because financial assistance programs that give them the money to pay tuition, buy books and afford housing and food are being cut back or eliminated. If the students somehow do get there, they will be denied necessary services and facilities. There is no space designated at the Amherst Campus for the Black Student Union and space for the Colleges has been seriously reduced.

He was one of 34 young people from the United States who participated in a tour sponsored by the National Council of American Soviet Friendship. This is the second in a series of articles dealing with the Soviet government and youth participation. The Soviets of Working People’s Deputies form the political foundation of the Soviet system and young people play a significant role in that system. On the highest governing body, the Supreme Soviet of the USSR, composed of Deputies to all soviets are elected on the basis of a universal and direct vote with secret ballot. Nomination of candidates Candidates for the soviets are nominated by trade unions, youth public organizations, organizations, Communist party organizations, and general meetings of workers at factories and institutions, and of service persons in the military, and of farmers on collective farms. Candidates can be nominated for local soviets at age 18, for Republic soviets at 21, and for the Supreme Soviet at age 23. Citizens can vote at age 18, and both party And non-party candidates are popularly elected. The first step in the election process is .’ISfiEsi 1517 deputies, 281 (18.5%) are young people between the age of 23 and 29. In the local Soviets across the country, a full one-quarter (25.7%), or about 500,000 young people age 18 to 29 are deputies. A standing committee on Youth Affairs exists in all soviets, and initiates special legislation pertaining to youth. One law tips, and. that was proposed by passed, called for setting up special preparatory courses for youth working in industry, agriculture and in the military service. This law aided these young people in gaining entrance to Universities and Institutes. Youth deputies also succeeded in sponsoring legislation establishing youth clubs, cultural centers, and sports and recreation facilities. Democratic and representative But young people themselves reported that the most important feature of the soviet system was that it was democratic and representative of Soviet society, and that representation in the government is based upon where people work or study. Workers and farmers engaged in daily production make up over 50% of the deputies in the soviets, and one-half of the Supreme Soviet represents the national groups in the USSR, which number about 100. Soviets exist at various levels of society. The smallest are the district Soviets (part of a city), then city Soviets, regional Soviets (comprising many cities and villages in the area), republic Soviets (in each of the 15 republics), and the Supreme Soviet of the USSR. Each republic is a national sovereign State, having its own constitution based on the constitution of the USSR. Each of these soviets have administrative power in their respective territorial area. for public meetings to be held for the purpose of nominating candidates. A number of meetings may be held, and candidates give their qualifications, and answer questions that the public may have. There may be 1, 2, 3 or more nominees, then a vote is taken to choose one. The person with the highest vote is that 4tSfrict’$ candidate. On election day, the voters go out and vote for the person, or against him, by crossing his name out. 25.7% that are young people, 14.8% are members of the Young Communist League. However, the large number of elected non-party members are not necessarily in opposition to the Communist party. A technician in a Leningrad plant, who wasn’t a member of the Communist party, but was in support of the party, told me he hadn’t joined because he didn’t have time to take up party responsibilities. There are two houses in the Supreme Soviet; the Soviet of the Union and the Soviet of the Nationalities. Each have equal rights, and equal power to propose legislation. A law is passed if both chambers give a majority vote. The deputies in the Soviet of the Union are elected, one for every 300,000 people. The deputies in the Soviet of the Nationalities are comprised of representatives of the many nationalities in the USSR. Various nationalities In the Soviet of the Nationalities, deputies are elected from the 15 Republics, each of which have their own nationality. Representation is not based on size or population, but gives equal representation to large and small Republics. For example, the Russian Republic has 132 million people, while the Estonia Republic has about 1Vi million people; yet both have 32 deputies in the Soviet of the Nationalities. Also represented are smaller nationalities living within a larger nationality. Autonomous republics, existing within a Republic, have 11 deputies. Autonomous regions, which are smaller groups, have 5 deputies each. The Jewish autonomous region is one of these. The smallest division is called a national area, usually comprised of national groups living in remote areas. The Yakagirs group is the smallest national area, having about 500 people. They have one deputy in the Soviet of the Nationalities. The role of the Community Party is to give leadership to the entire country. Its members are in all organizations: trade unions, youth groups, professional groups, the organizations. However, the is from separate Party Communist government, though its members have been elected to many ofits leading positions. Working people arid youth, through the economic planning committees, and through their representatives in the Soviets, help plan and regulate the economy of the science country. The basis of a socialist economy is that the means of production are owned and controlled by the public. Individuals own their own personal items, house, car, etc., but no one person or groups of people can own the land, productive processes, or natural resources. Economic plan The Communist Party draws up a rough draft for the economy for the next five years. This goes to thousands of workers’ meetings throughout the country where it is discussed, and suggestions are added to it. It then goes to the State Planning Committee, which is made up of specialists in economics, the appropriate scientific field, and trade unionists. Here the final plan is hammered out, with trade unionists insuring the proper work speed, working conditions and benefits. Then the plan is taken to the Supreme Soviet for acceptance or rejection. The plan is accepted and made into law upon a majority vote in the Supreme Soviet. I was told that the Supreme Soviet is very conscious of what they pass, since it will be the plan that they themselves will be working under for the next five years. The Soviet Union is now in the middle of their ninth five-year plan. The final article of this series will discuss the Soviet Union and their relations with the world around them. Sometimes two 1 was told that in some districts with a heavy concentration of industrial workers, two candidates may be chosen. Practically every candidate receives a majority vote, which is required for election. In 1973, only 80 candidates failed to receive a majority vote out of over two million elections. In these rare cases, the nominating procedure is repeated. A similar procedure is carried out at all levels. All campaign expenses are paid for by the state. Everyone I asked, explained the election procedure the same way, and everyone 1 spoke with felt that it is a fair and just method. Of the 1517 deputies elected in June 1970 to the Supreme Soviet, 481 (31.7%) are workers engaged in daily production. 282 deputies (18.6%) are farmers. These, and all elected working people, get time off their job, with full pay, to go to government sessions. Here they propose legislation, and pass it into law with a majority vote. 463 deputies (30.5%) are women. 27.7% are non-party members. Women and non-party members In the local soviets, 36.5% are workers; 28.8% are farmers; 45.8% are women; and 55.5% are non-party members.

The Chatgers, who dropped their fourteenth contest in 21 starts, have won two of twelve in Division II play. New Haven had been shocked the previous night when their backup goaltender, Joe Defelice, was badly injured in his first start of the season. “He [DeFelice] stood up on a high shot, and he got hit right in the throat,” reported New Haven Director of Sports Information Bob Cornell. “He suffered a fractured larynx. We were lucky that he didn’t die on the ice,” Cornell added. “I expected a competitive game," said Bull coach Ed Wright. “1 didn’t expect things to get out of hand the way they did. The fact that they had a goaltender almost get killed Saturday night played on their minds. I’m sure a lot of them didn’t want to get dressed for the game,” Wright added. - - Davies notches four The Chargers first-string goalie, Buddy Heaney, was sidelined with mononucleosis, so the Bulls whipped fourteen goals past third-string netmindcr Paul Skarainski before he was mercifully replaced four minutes into the final stanza. Chuck Davies, who shifted from center to left wing prior to last weekend’s game, paced Buffalo with four goals against New Haven Davies attributed his scoring outburst, which doubled his season goal total to ten, to increased playing time. “I’m suddenly playing more,” remarked Davies. “1 feel a lot more confident now, maybe the sitting docs that to you. Now I’m playing wing regularly. Before 1 was just playing erratic shifts,” Davies continued. The Bull forward had been playing center on the fourth line before this weekend’s action. Right wing Mike Klym, who scored three goals against A1C and two at New Haven, received honorable mention for the ECAC’s weekly all-star team. Defenseman Mike Perry also received honorable mention. The Bulls resume action by faring Ithaca Saturday at Holiday Twin Rinks and facing Brockport Sunday at a figure skating rink in Rochester. Buffalo downed Brockport at home last semester by 13-1, while splitting a pair of games at Ithaca in December. You are invited to a lecture on Christian Science given by Harvey W. Wood, C.S.B.

Benjamin, the Bulls one man cheering section, is not noted for perfect execution of thr butterfly. Sometimes, in the last SO yards, he has trouble raising his arms above the water. But this doesn’t discourage Scott from jumping and yelling, and swinging his towel in all sorts of gestures to cheer his teammates on. Then, there is sprinter Sam Konigsberg. “Flash,” as he is known to his teammates, did not acquire this title because he is rivaling Mark Spitz. However, Konigsberg gives everything he’s got. Against Albany on Friday, “Flash” was so psyched for the 50-yard freestyle that he made a false start. He is still hoping to get his time low enough to qualify for the regionals. Small crowds, little compensation The fact that the Bulls have not been winning makes it that much more difficult on the team. Swimming before small crowds, there is little compensation for the Bulls except personal satisfaction. Competing with others and knowing they have given it their best is their only reward. The Bulls will face Fredonia this afternoon in their last road meet of the season. This will "not be an easy match as Fredonia has just come off an impressive win against Niagara. JV Bulls guard pace; victory over Hilbert by Paige Miller Spectrum Staff Writer Returning to Clark Hall after a disastrous three game road trip, the junior varsity basketball Bulls defeated Hilbert College, 87-75, Saturday afternoon. The Baby Bulls now stand 3-10 on the year, With all three victories coming at Clark Hall. The Hawks arc now 7-12. � A major factor in the game was the Hawks height advantage. , Center Mike Merrill, who stands 6-7, neutralized Buffalo’s 6-5 Norm Weber. Hawks assistant coach Jerry Falgiano remarked, “Merrill rebounded well but his shooting was off. He played good defense.” Merrill pulled down 17 rebounds, including five in the first minute of the second half. He held Weber to just one rebound in the first half. The rest of the Bulls front line was equally ineffective. While Buffalo’s forwards were ineffective due to their lack of height, Buffalo’s guards played exceptionally well in spite of their lack of height. John Ruffino led all. scorers with 25 points on a 11-21 shooting performance. Gene Henderson of the Bulls, who stands only 5-10, was credited with 12 rebounds, high for the Bulls. Henderson was responsible for breaking the Hawks’ press late in the game. At one point, the ball Henderson brought upcourt leaving three would-be defenders strewn behind him, drawing a roar from the small crowd. Rid ell shines Perhaps the best performance to of the game belonged substitute guard Dave Ridell. Rid ell, easily the smallest man on the court at .5-8, pulled down seven rebounds. Ridell shot 6-for-6 from the field and duplicated this at the freethrow line, while accumulating six assists. Buffalo’s guards also played well defensively. Don Zucarelli, who usually runs* the Hawks offense, was held to a sub-par performance. “Zucarelli wasn’t calling out plays like we wanted him to,” said Falgiano. “Of course, we had a game last which doesn’t help.” night, Saturday, the Baby Bulls resume their six-game homestand against Geneseo.

Monday, 11 February 1974 State University of New York at Buffalo aft evaders prosecuted by Michael O’Neill false impression” and times when he gave “bad National Editor information” to the jurors. The report also took exception to the method of presenting a package f six cases at a time to the grand jury. It concluded that the deliberation failed to distinguish individual cases and onptted pertinent information in many instances. Nevertheless, the decision to dismiss the cases left’the door open to further prosecution. The judicial report failed to drop the indictments with prejudice, a move that would have meant that the defendants would have gone free. The option to press the charges again was left up to U.S. Attorney John T. Elfvin. After a period of deliberation, Mr. Elfvin’s office sent notice to 125 of thedefendants and their attorneys that they had the option of “enlisting in a branch of the armed forces or face re-indictment.” The remainder of the cases were dismissed by the prosecutor’s office because of either a lack of evidence or a poor chance of attaining another -v indictment. Editor’s Note: This is the first in a series of articles on the military, the draft and Vietnam war resisters. A large number of the 153 local defendants whose draft evasion cases were dismissed last week because of a grand jury investigation which “seriously infringed upon the rights of individual defendants” now face the risk of being reprosecuted by the U.S. Attorney’s office for the same charges. Letters were sent to 125 of the defendants stating that if they “did not enlist in a branch of the armed service by February 19th,” they would be prosecuted on draft evasion charges. The remaining cases were dropped by the prosecutor’s office for various reasons; none of these men will face further prosecution. The original indictments were dismissed two weeks ago by Judges John T. Curtin and John 0. Henderson, citing what they termed the “hasty presentation” and 'shotgun approach” of the Erie County Grand Jury. A 35-page report issued by the judges affirmed that the November, 1973 hearings were characterized by “a lack of preparation in individual cases” which deprived the men of their “protection against false accusations.” — - Year’s worth of draft cases During one three-hour session, the grand jurors were presented with 60 cases, allowing an average of only three minutes of deliberation for each case. “The time given for consideration of each indictment demonstrates little regard for the rights of defendants,” the judges wrote. The jury deliberations were an attempt to review more than a year’s accumulation of local draft cases from the year 1971. The evidence in the 153 cases was presented to the grand jury between November 14 and 17, 1972. Assisting in the review of the cases was Col. William I. Silverberg, a retired Army officer and Selective Service official. “Col. Silverberg’s presence cannot be justified as an attorney for the government,” the judges stafed. “There is also the possibility that the presence of Col. Silverberg influenced the testimony of the Selective Service Board employees.” Elaborating on Col. Silverberg’s presence, the report said: “There were instances when he left a « - More irregularites seen Indictments may not be handed down in all cases after the jurors re-examine them. “There is a chance that several of those who seek acquittal through the courts will succeed in establishing that the previous Grand Jury investigation had prejudiced their cases,” Mr. Elfvin said. His office also extended a grace period to those who could demonstrate good faith and an intent to enlist in the service but at a laterdate. The cases could become more complicated than they already have. Stan Callessano, a defense counsel for several of the men, said: “There are more procedural irregularities that have yet to be brought up.” He indicated that these irregularities Would be used by the defense if the cases are reopened. If the cases are reopened and new indictments are handed down, it will be a long time until the defendants actually come to trial. The average delay between offense and indictment is 32 months. A postponement of this extent would leave room for a motion of dismissal on grounds of undue delay. While legal negotiations and preparations are carried out by prosecutors and defense counsels, the fate of almost 125 young men remains in doubt. Charges of draft evasion continue to hang over their heads long after American troop involvement in Southeast Asia and military conscription have come to a halt. Expected to house 3250 students, the Ellicott Complex is slated to open its doors in September. Ellicott Complex: an isolated but exciting living-learning center by Amy Dunkin Campus Editor At first glance, the huge, labrynth-like Ellicott Complex, tucked away in the remote northwest comer of the Amherst campus, appears to have been deserted by civilization. With a closer examination, however, the area is bustling with activity as workmen prepare for the grand opening in September. Described by many as a has about five times as much complete living-learning center, the Ellicott Complex is divided into six residential quadrangles, interconnected by a central academic spine. The buildings, which vary in height from three to ten stories, are all scheduled for completion for the fall semester. The Ellicott Complex will accommodate approximately 3250 residents. There are 447 single rooms, 304 doubles, 231 triples, 350 fours and 17 sixes the interspersed throughout complex. Housing expects to fill approximately 1200 beds in the fall. Cliff Wilson, assistant director of Housing, projected that the residential space would be fully utilized in three years. parking space as the Governor’s Residence Halls. The ground floor levels of the dormitory buildings will house cafeterias, lounges, game rooms and some faculty offices. Food Service Director Raymond Becker specified that the cafeterias were designed with U-shaped counters, similar to the one at Ridge Lea. Although Food Service has not determined the type of meal plan it will offer, Mr. Becker said at least one board contract and one cash line will be operated. University plaza The second floor of the Ellicott compound was described by Mr. Wilson as “an attractive, bricked-in plaza that meanders Supply and demand through the entire complex.” Mr. Wilson indicated that more People are free to move outside as single and double rooms were well as inside on this level with built in response to the large the aid of paved walkways passing demand, but cheaper through grassy courtyards. costs accounted for the abundance of The center of activity will be multi-person rooms (three or the Fillmore Collegiate Center, more people).

While all drugs may be dangerous if misused, these three are a special threat in that they arc unpredictable. We advise you to be cautious. Two of the pills are bootleg (street made) “quaaludes” which are mainly made up of Toluidin. The effects of these quaaludes are two-fold. Irritation of the bladder has occurred in a large proportion of users. This irritation may lead to ulceration of the bladder which causes internal bleeding. A symptom of this ulceration is blood in the urine. You are advised to see a doctor if this occurs. The following are descriptions of the pills; I) Small (smaller than an aspirin), white, other through the center): 2) Small, brownish, round, pill: no markings. The third problem is a capsule which is being sold on campus and in the local high schools as an amphetamine. The price of the capsule is about $.75. In reality, this capsule is Pronestyl, which is cardiac depressant. A cardiac depressant has the effect of slowing down the heart. This can be fatal if the user has any heart defect (such as heart murmur) or if the capsule is combined with alcohol. The capsule is yellow with “Squibb 758” written on both halves of the capsule.

This University began accepting students with the Equivalency Diploma four years ago, and those now enrolled “are doing very well, because they are highly motivated,” he explained. “Although only a small amount of High School Equivalency students are accepted two or three per to day school there is a larger amount year accepted at Millard Fillmore night school, 40 to 50 per year,” Mr. Shellum explained. ‘This is due to the day school requirement, for all' •applicants','* *to*‘earfi .a satisfactory score, according to University standards, on both the Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT) and the Regents Scholarship Exam.” James Schwcnder of the Office of Admissions, explained: “High School Equivalency students do not usually score as high as most regular day school applicants, simply because they do not have the same educational backgrounds. But they arc readily accepted at Millard Fillmore because Millard Fillmore requires only a satisfactory score on the Equivalency Test or a high school diploma. After a student enters Millard Fillmore, he may apply to day school as a.transfer applicant.” — — to listen and to try and help ’ experienced workers receive additional training in order to remain as qualified as possible. Sunshine House still maintains its full drug program, which may include identifying some inknown drug, or reporting on the effects of a bootleg drug available in the area. As part of their “OUtreach” service they also might rush a person to the hospital suffering from a overdose or other medical problem. SEveraT of the current group of 45 volunteers give lectures at local high schools and some are receiving first, aid medical training. ALthough no two calls arc handled in the same way, workers are trained to get right to the problem by encouraging the person to talk about what’s bothering him. They also maintain a large referral file of hundreds of agencies which might be of wervice to the callers. New training programs will begin on February 22-24. Sunshine House is located at 106 Winspear AVenue. The phone number is 831-4046.

In recent months, volunteers manning the Sunshine House from ID a.m. to 3 a.m. daily have an increasing number of individuals disturbed by personal or emotional problems not related to drugs. People foundering under the pressure of school, distraught over losing a girlfriend or boyfriend or simply unable to cope with the demands of life, are now among the majority of callers, while the number of people calling with drug-related problems has declined. Of about 250 calls a month, only about me-third are now drug-related. The Sunshine House staff instruction presently with a three-day intensive program in role paying, counseling, and sensitivity training and explores the medical and legal aspects of drugs. Afterward, potential workers received on-the-job training working with an experienced member until they’re competent to handle calls on their own. Even ' Day school requires 230 The Equivalency Test is composed of five sections: one testing English Language Usage, especially grammar and expression; one testing mathematical skill; and one testing reading interpretation in social science, physical science and literature. In order to enter this University’s day school, a score of 60 on each section is desirable. In order to enter night school, a minimum cumulative score of 225 is required of all five sections. The Buffalo Board of Education has designed a successful program which gives an individual the preparation he needs to pass the Equivalency Test, now offered at several high schools and community centers in the Buffalo area. This program is designed to instruct an individual m three areas; language usage, mathematics and reading Buffalo program successful Jerome Yavno, project administrator of Adult Basic Education, said the Board of Education’s program is a “highly sophisticated and highly successful program. Eighty per cent of those who have taken our program pass the Equivalency Test.’- The* -pMgranf provides anindividual with personalized' instruction, allowing him to leam at his own pace. Each person is given an Initial Diagnostic Test which determines his level in reading and math. He is then placed into a small group which would help to strengthen his particular weakness. In addition to individualized instruction, each person receives a guidance counselor who assists him with his long-term plans for college entrance or job orientation. All these services are free at the, Community Centers alone. All programs connected with a public high school are self-supporting. There arc also quite a few veterans now enrolled at this University who have the High School Equivalency instead of a regular high school diploma, Mr. Schwender noted. After earning their Equivalency Diplomas, men and women in the armed services overseas have the opportunity to take college credits by correspondence, or by classroom instruction, affiliated with the University of Maryland, the University of California and the University of Wisconsin. These credits are honored by the State University of New York, and those with these overseas credits arc qualified to apply to the University as a transfer student. Those laboring under the illusion that the High School Equivalency Diploma is somehow inferior to a regular high school background are mistaken. There is evidence within this University alone that those who have the Equivalency Diploma are just as capable of successfully completing a University-level education. ’ �Nuclear power considered more favorably for energy Commission (ABC) and from private industry. A tour of the facility quickly reveals both its complexities and dangers. Anyone entering the Center must sign in with the receptionist, an AEC regulation. Before proceeding further, you are given an identification badge and a radiation detection packet. The detection packet, which resembles a shirt pocket pencil case with two large fountain pens in it, records the amount of radiation to which a person is exposed. by Richard Deep Spectrum Staff Writer In the wake of the current energy crisis, the term “nuclear” is fast becoming a household word. Although conservationists and paranoiacs fear environmental harm and mass destruction may result from nuclear waste, m6st scientists believe nuclear power represents the wave of the future. The largest nuclear reactor in upstate New York is housed on the State University of Buffalo campus. Formerly the Western New York Nuclear Research Center, Inc., it has been re-named The Nuclear Science and Technology Facility. The facility’s primary interest is in the areas of nuclear research and student education, according to Charles Thomas, the center’s director. “In addition, we conduct industrial research and do Carbon-14 dating for faculty members,” Dr. Thomas explained. Eerie glow The only access to the reactor part of the building is through a personnel air lock. Once inside, the lock seals behind you. The reactor itself consists of a large, high-density concrete box. Submerged beneath twenty-five feet of water is the reactor core, where the radioactive material is actually kept. While running, the reactor emits an eerie blue glow. Extending from the control platform down through the water are long-handled control rods and test capsules. On either side of the water filled chamber are air-filled chambers for dry experiments. The remainder of the reactor building contains laboratory and support facilities. The Center also handles almost all the radioactive waste materials from the Buffalo area. These are carefully packed and labeled according to AEC specifications and shipped to the West Valley disposal facility. What about the danger of nuclear explosion? ‘There is no way we can have an explosion,” emphasized Dr. Thomas. “The worst we could have is a nuclear Special major The University presently offers a variety of courses in the nuclear field either from the Engineering Science Department or as a special major. This year, there are only one or two students enrolled in the special major program. Beginning this September, there will also be a program in Nuclear Technology in conjunction with the School of Medicine. One of the major problems facing the Nuclear Research Center is a lack of money. “I need more personnel and some building improvements. The rooms are too small for teaching or lab work,” Dr. Thomas said. The Center is not totally state-funded. Additional monies come from the federal Atomic Energy ‘L/L/AB*****-**** PROCTOR TICKETS Undergraduate students presently have an opportunity to reward faculty members for excellent teaching through nominations for two types of State University of New York (SUNY) awards. SUNY for Central has provided Administration distinguished Teaching Professorships and State University Chancellor’s Awards for Excellence in Teaching in the hope of elevating teaching to the level of research and artistic endeavors. ” #2.50 - J1VI3W � X *-• NEW GARDEN'S SODA! zdSfi r ■■uffi / i I lUUy \ o J ICO I Jr%r*r\ Imww I IV/UOv i1 irvi/* A kl | i i MEAICAN rwvJUj , i J i > i 1 .

Slim chance It is virtually impossible for a nuclear excursion to occur. An outside fuel container would have to be dropped precisely into a running reactor and the fuel situated in a specified way. The only way fuel can be added to the reactor is with a special set of “thongs,” which are locked in a cabinet while the reactor is running. The supervisor is the only one with the key. ‘These people are experts,” said Dr. Thomas. “They’re trained and they know their jobs. They would never allow a potentially dangerous situation to develop.” Upon leaving, visitors are subjected to a radiation count check. They must stand on a machine that looks like an old fashion weight-and-fortune scale, placing their arms and feet in certain marked slots and wait as the machine ticks off the radiation count. Most of the readings are either zero or one. The maximum tolerance range is between eight and twelve.

A distinguished teaching professorship is a rank above the professorship and is expected to have the same prestige as a university professorship, distinguished professorship or a distinguished service professorship. In addition to the honor of the position, the distinguished teaching professorship holds very real advantages: granting of tenure (if not already attained) and a salary increase of $2500. Accordingly, such positions will be granted only rarely to those who have demonstrated superior teaching competence over a period of some years. To be eligible, a candidate must have attained the rank of associate professor or professor and must have completed at least three years of full-time teaching on the campus that recommends the appointment. Nominating process To obtain nominations for the awards, President Robert Ketter appointed two committees one of students and the other, faculty. These two committees operating separately will submit a list of - nominations to a Screening Committee chaired by Academic Affairs Vice President Bernard Gelbaum. Composed equally of faculty and students, this committee wijl send the final nominations to President Ketfer. Dr. Ketter will then submit all the nominations (and supporting evidence) of the with his own Committee Screening recommendations to the Chancellor’s Office. Nomination consists of a letter to th? committee containing the courses taken with the candidate, why that candidate is deserving of an award, which award the nomination is for, and the' student’s name and student number. The following criteria will be used to judge nominations: -positive evidence that the candidate performs superbly in the classroom. —evidence of the candidate’s mastery of several teaching techniques. —a flexible instructional policy which adapts readily to student needs, interests and problems. —the candidate must be a broad-gauged scholai who keeps abreast of his own field and who uses th relevant contemporary data from his own field ano related disciplines in his teaching. -the candidate must serve willingly and ably as an academic advisor. He must demonstrate a continual concern with the intellectual and social growth of individual students. —the candidate must set high standards for his students and help them to attain academic excellence. Nominations should be sent to Jon Dandes, 205 Norton Hall by this Wednesday. Any questions or requests for more information can be directed to any member of the committee or to the SA office. Students are encouraged to participate in this important part of the nominating process. The Chancellor Awards for Excellence in Teaching will be more numerous and relatively easier to obtain. Nominations for these awards will be accepted throughout the next three weeks. Monday, 11 February 1974 The Spectrum . Page three . �i * *.

Governor Malcolm Wilson’s voluntary alternate-day gas rationing plan for New York State goes into effect today. If the last digit on your license plate is an odd number, you can buy gas today, February 11, or any other odd day of the month. If your license plate ends in a 0, 2, 4, 6 or 8, you must wait until tomorrow or any other even-numbered day. At least that’s the way it’s supposed to work. Byt many gas station owners in Buffalo said they wduld not go along with Gov. Wilson’s voluntary plan: many emphasized their commitment to serve their “regular” customers whatever the day. It remains to be seen how many local dealers will comply with the plan. Ironically, Buffalo has had | little or no problem with gasoline supplies, because ; many major companies refine gasoline in the area, ( and the city also gets fuel from nearby Canada. The alternate-day rationing, which does not help conserve gas but only makes it easier to obtain, is perhaps much better suited to Albany and N§w York City, where chronic gas shortages and phenomenally long lines at gas pumps have plagued motorists since December. The alternate-day rationing sustem is viewed by Gov. Wilson as a stop-gap measure. The problem, he says, is the Federal government's failure to institute an allocation program to insure New York gets its fair share of gasoline supplies. Federal energy chief William Simon has ordered round-the-clock deliveries of gasoline to the gas-starved states of New York and New Jersey, but no relief has yet been felt in hard-hit areas like metropolitan New York City. Mr. Wilson said he felt the state was bearing “an inordinate share” of the fuel shortage. He asked service stations not to set limits on gas purchases “except to alleviate exceptionally short supplies” and asked motorists not to engage in “panic buying” of gasoline if their tanks were more than half full. deal in -jou>n- 6jot> -3SS Page four .

One student, an observer at a recent medical emergency at the North Campus replied: “Whatever you do, don’t call Security. Call an ambulance, or call a taxi, but not Security.” The above student was recalling a medical emergency on ,the North Campus where Security had taken charge. He remembered how the Security men did not know the fastest way to move the victim from the building to the -ambulance and how they did not know how to work the emergency elevator in the building. He pointed out that the victim had to be carried down the three flights of stairs and wheeled outside in the midst of a snowstorm, to the ambulance, with .nothing more than a sheet covering him. He noted the confusion and uncertainty underlying the entire procedure. Other students who were present at the incident expressed similar apprehensions. “The best we can” “We do the best we can; where we are, with what we’ve got,” said Kenneth P. Glennon, director of Security. “All of our men are trained in basic first aid and many have had advanced first aid, but they are not doctors.” “Students object to Security men patrolling the corridors,” said Mr. Glennon when asked why Security did not know the fastest exit from the building or how to use the elevator. He said Security officers usually restrict their patrol to the first floor and the lobbies, and therefore don’t know the shortcuts of the building. “The confusion was probably due to the inexperience of the Security men,” said Garry Soehner, Residence Hall director of the North Campus. “In most cases, there has been a very good response from Security.” Mr, Soehner feels that the forementioned incident was atypical of Security’s overall performance. Adequate health facilities? Campus Security officers are called to bring sick to the Michael Hall health facilities or local hospitals when medical personnel are not on duty at the North Campus.

She is equipped to handle can minor complaints, colds, fever, upset stomachs, etc. A sample of students on the North Campus were asked: “Is there a Health service on campus? Where is it located? What are the hours?” None of those interviewed answered all three questions correctly. Most knew that there was a health service, but few (only two) knew its location, and nobody knew the correct hours. Health service info “When students are well, they don’t pay any attention to Health Service,” said Paul F. Hoffman, director of Health Services, explaining the lack of publicity. To remedy the situation, Dr. Hoffman is Health Service. He also feels “there should be a sticker on every phone in the residence halls with emergency numbers (Security, Health Service, Fire Department, etc.). “Ideally,” said Dr. Hoffman, “the Health Service on the North Campus should be open 24 hours a day.” He explained that five people are necessary to maintain one position (24 hours a day, 7 days a week) and that the State Legislature has not granted the funds for a new Health Service position in the past five years, despite the growth of the j Students and Collegians rallied afternoon in angry response to the Faculty-Senate’s approval of Jonathan Reichert’s Colleges Committee report. Both faculty and students expressed dissatisfaction with the Faculty-Senate’s approval of the new Prospectus, which many part believe is of an Administration policy hostile to the Colleges, minority students, and political dissenters. Much of the rally was devoted to exchange of ideas and strategies for countering Administration policy through a broad based coalition and political actions. Along with College members, from the representatives International Students Union, the Black Students Union, Attica Brigade and Progressive Labor Party were in attendance. Several spokesmen alleged the existence of an overall plan of the Ketter Administration to remove minority working-class and students from this University and destroy the Colleges. Others claimed that Administration policies were in keeping with a plan to do away with progressive education and perpetuate elitist control in America. Thursday University’s population. Limited staff “There are only two nurses available, on the night shift, for the entire University, and they have to be where the beds, facilities, bulk of the population are,” said Dr. Hoffman. “We can’t take a nurse from where they can be busy to where they will do nothing but wait for an emergency. Next year, Health Service will move from the Governors Residence Halls to the new Ellicott Complex and once again, we will staff according to need.” As of now, the North Campus Health Service is open from 8:30 to 10 a.m., from 3 to 5 p.m., and from 10 p.m. to midnight (except Friday and Saturday nights) for a total of 5 l h hours a day. Three different nurses handle the three different shifts. How were these special hours chosen? The first shift (8:30-10 a.m.) is covered by a nurse on her way to work on the Main Campus. This is for the benefit of anyone who falls sick overnight. In reality, however, almost nobody has shown up for treatment on this shift. No resident doctor The second shift is covered by the Ridge Lea nurse on her way home from work. “Most students think there is a doctor present on this shift, but there is none,” said Patricia Telaak, registered nurse on the second shift. When Ms. Telaak was asked about the lack of publicity, she said; “1 ordered signs to be placed in all four buildings,” and added that each Resident Advisor (RA) was given all of the information about the Health Service, with instructions to pass the information on to his constituents. None of the RA’s interviewed knew the correct information. The third shift (10 p.m.-midnight), which just began last week, is covered by a registered nurse who lives in the dorms. This shift is not supported by University Health Service, but by University Housing. What should you do if you don’t feel well on the North Campus? 1) If it’s during nurses’ hours, go to Room I 1 7A in Roosevelt, or call 2155! 2) If it’s not during nurses’ hours, and there is no emergency, call 831-3316 (Main Campus Health Service) for advice. 3) In case of emergency, there are three alternatives: (a) call Security 831-5555; (b) call the campus operator “0” (she will know who to call doctor, ambulance, Security, etc.); (c) call Main Campus Health Service 831-3316. “I think students out here [on the North Campus] are getting very good health care,” said Ms. Telaak. However, many of the Amherst students have their doubts. — — Monday, 11 February 1974 . The Spectrum .

Most young workers attend evening classes. Some plan to go to an institute or university. Others to gain a skill for a different job, and others for personal interest, Institutes are oriented more towards training people to do specific jobs and universities towards theoretical work. Most educational institutions, as well as factories and other work places, have a wide range of clubs and cultural activities, ranging from scientific clubs to drama groups. Sports programs, which they call physical culture, are strongly promoted at all levels, with many schools and factories having their own sports facilities, some including their own arenas. During the summer months, jaguc called Manual labor I was told that the country feels it is important for everyone to do some manual labor at one time or another.

Soviet young people enjoy many of the same things we enjoy. They have parties in their homes, listen to music and dance, and go to cultural events like movies, musical performances, the ballet, art exhibits, the circus, sporting events and plays. We went to a number of parties in people’s homes and in public halls. Rock music was heard from western socialist countries. Many of the Soviet young people I spoke with said that musically, they liked western rock music very much, but were critical of the content of some songs. Some people told me that rock music isn’t that widespread in the Soviet Union, and so much of it is still the C Komsomol. -), It is a voluntary political organization of people aged 14 to 28, and has a membership of some 30 million.

A number of schools and work-places in an area make up a district, of which there are 50 in Moscow. Each school or workplace has their own meetings and activities within their institution. One person I met, Alec, was a student at the school of Finance where political economy is studied. 3000 to 4000 students attend, and most or all are members of the YCL.

Page seven �Misquoted infancy mandated that expensive campus gymnasiums were utilized. Now, however, each individual school may decide whether or not to retain the requirement. \ The overcrowded gym classes here are a registration nightmare. Every semester, hundreds of graduating seniors get closed out of gym classes full of freshmen and sophomores, and must spend weeks cajoling instructors and the heartless computer to get into a section. In a school with no other academic requirements, no administrator has adequately justified why a student can't graduate without taking two semesters of gym. Health School Dean Harry Fritz's assertion that the problem is created by seniors waiting until their last year to take gym totally misses the mark; if the University requires gym for graduation, it is the University's responsibility to insure easy access to those classes. But the requirement itself is outdated and unreasonable. One can only conclude that the requirement is designed to insure the jobs of the Physical Education instructors. But many schools that have dropped the Phys Ed requirement have found that gym enrollments have actually increased due to both more innovative and recreational course offerings and interested students taking a large number of courses. Phys Ed instructors could also teach in the rapidly-expanding area of health. In short, with a little imagination, their jobs need not rely on this hardship requirement. Even so basic a course,, as English Composition is not required at this University. It is childish nonsense to take college students by the hand and say, "You must exercise for two semesters." The gym requirement is indefensible; it has produced a very real obstacle to graduation for hundreds of graduating seniors who just can't get into a course. Let's abolish it. survey, supermarket price-comparison survey, and safe toys campaign which resulted in the passage of a new state law, have already benefited students. But for the still-skeptical, NYPIRG director Don Ross has offered a valuable compromise: If SA kicks in a one-shot allocation of about $20,000, NYPIRG will match it with a smaller grant. After a one-year trial, SA can decide whether membership was worth it and whether to increase its financial commitment. In this age of consumer rip-offs, a group particularly that fights for consumers is invaluable. Ralph sfudenfconsumers Nader has accomplished much with his network of campus PIRG's; this University should not be left out. February is a very political month for candidates for SA office. Voters should demand to know whether prospective* candidates will make a firm commitment to fund WNYPIRG with at least $20,000 for a one year trial. If SA cannot find $20,000 for an effective consumer organization out of a budget of almost $800,000, then their priorities need more they need a complete than a "re-ordering" overhaul. — — — Leaderless economy The news is not that the economy is in terrible shape and getting worse the news is the government's complete inability to do anything about it. The most blatant example is provided by the nationwide truckers' strike. Instead of negotiations being held between Washington and the angry truckers, who are being virtually squeezed out of fuel costs, business by skyrocketing Pennsylvania Governor Milton Shapp had to assume responsibility for working out a settlement. Unemployment is spreading like cancer General Motors alone has said it will lay off 55,000 workers this year but there are still no plans for public employment projects or increased benefits for victims of the energy crisis. Instead, Washington only makes vague promises about spending more if the recession gets worse later in the year. But it is reaching epidemic proportions now, and given the six-month time lag for government programs to affect the economy, if Washington waits any longer to stimulate jobs and purchasing power, it will be far too late. For every unemployed worker has little money to spend, which means even healthy businesses will soon be crippled by the lack of consumer spending. Add to that the extra $10 billion in purchasing power that will be leaving this country to meet higher oil prices, — — — and the true depths of the recession become clear. Major cities are starved for gasoline; in the Midwest, schools have closed and mail deliveries halted because there is no gas for school buses or mail trucks. New York City and New Jersey have been extraordinarily hard-hit, but despite federal promises for more equal allocation, increased supplies have not materialized. Six states have resorted to gas rationing. In this .state. Governor Malcolm Wilson's alternate-day gas-buying plan is a senseless political exercise to make it look as if he's, doing something. It might help alleviate long lines of panic-buyers in fuel-starved New York City, but is unnecessary in Buffalo, where much gasoline is refined and supplies have not been a problem. Most local dealers have openly said they will ignore the odd-even gas-buying plan unless it becomes mandatory. unemployment, trucking, In every area states, cities and towns gasoline, prices have had to scramble for financial survival because of the utter lack of economic leadership from an impotent President Nixon.

In a well-publicized referendum last fall, undergraduates voted against raising the $67 mandatory student fee by $3 to fund the consumer organization, but did vote 3 to 1 that Student Association should "re-order its priorities" to fund WNYPIRG. Despite this overwhelming endorsement of one of the most valuable groups on campus, SA allocated WNYPIRG a measly $2000 with which to operate this year. They claimed that altering budget allocations in the middle of the year would have been too difficult. Such bureaucratic obstinance made a mockery of the the referendum and ignored clearly-expressed desires of the students SA Is supposed to be representing. . The problem is that to join New York PIRG, the state-wide parent organization, and utilize its valuable staff and resources, member schools must allocate the equivalent ! of $3 for every student. Three dollars times 14,000 students is a lot of money, and SA fears it will not get an adequate return on that investment. This is untrue; valuable WNYPIRG projects such as the drug-pricing To the Editor: bleery or, blues called the night Late got-into-my-stat-homework and realized only very late that the column was not yet done syndrome. And now something has to be strung together at least semi-legibly to fill a hole in an editorial page on Monday the 18th of February. It gets hard around the edges to fill space when the day has been crowded with a fair amount of real stuff. Fighting with the woman I hang out with about how to go about meeting each other’s needs, and who can do what differently in order to facilitate that process some, is something that it is hard to avoid as seeing, and feeling, as being substantive and solid. Which is hard to break down in terms that go onto paper easily. Does it do anyone else any good to hear thgt I found out, again, that I am a hard person to try to give things to sometimes? That I can get so scared and so tight that everything shuts down, and I dig myself a hole and crawl into it far enough so that it is really hard for me or anyone else to get me out of it? What use can you make out of the fact that I get so scared that I have to work my ass off at being competent? Have to try and give yourself an edge somehow, and the greater the number of things you do well, the higher the possibility that you can keep byStotK somebody around by being useful to them. Misery loves company, anyone? It isn’t all bad, or at least it doesn’t feel that way. The contact that I can occasionally make with people is worth it, because somewhere at the bottom it is what makes the world, or at least my part of it, go around. It is a source of considerable bemusement to me how easy it is for me to keep hiding my vulnerability to other people. The major target of this effort, is, of course, me. 1 work at it, apparently, consistently and constantly. Albeit the process seems to be entirely out of my hands or is it my mind? I write from where I am, but it is clear that I am unconlfortable writing from a place that is as close to the core of some things about myself I keep weltaampflagtd if not hidden. I am a closet poet but then, aren’t most’of us? One of the major problems 1 have is with the use of metaphors. My ability to reduce the world I experience to metaphors and similies is sporadic. Every once in a while one pops up in my head of sufficient worth to be polished to a warm glow through constaht use, but mostly I have trouble letting people have the necessary distance. There is a poet dead, now, but he still is a poet. Name of Robinson Jeffers. You don’t hear much about him. He was, for the last half of his life, a gaunt, hard, old man who lived in Big Sur, an incredibly beautiful and- still rather wild and only somewhat tamed area on the Pacific Coast. His poems are largely naturalistic, having to do with the ocean, the mountains, and animals. His bleak view of humanity in-general is what made him a critically unpopular poet, at least in my eyes. He didn’t sec World War H as anything much more than the current in a series of wars, with more on the way. The upshot of it being that he is unfashionably direct and uncompromising. Much of his poetry reads as though it had been hammered out of the rocks he frequently wrote about. Not many metaphors, not many levels, mostly efforts to convert naturalistic experience into comprehensible words, and draw a moral therefrom. I have trouble with his views on people. His wife died early and it seems to have left him a lonely old man. He has a poem about a crippled hawk that can’t fly anymore and is waiting to die, that could well be more about him than he would have chosen to admit. My projection is that he was really scared of people, that he could be incredibly sensitive to his natural surroundings, but that he retreated from the world of people because of his own vulnerability. Which is a hard thing not to have to do on many levels. Caring about people is not easy. Either you wind up hurting them, or they wind up hurting you, unless you are really, really lucky or is it careful? No, careful doesn’t help much, because you can’t tell much about the people you fall in love with. Or maybe you can, but 1 can’t. Post-hoc some of the places I have gotten hooked in look really crazy, others were places that were real, and valuable, and caused much scar tissue when .they ended. Which always makes it hard, either through accumulation or immediate pain, not to do what Jeffers did to retreat. But hiding doesn’t make if for me... and I won’t even try to evaluate that, it just is - The grump - - - — — — I would like to winter in Big Sur sometime. To see it in the winter when there are fewer people and those left are those who need to be there for them, and not for a few days of poking around the edges, as I usually have to be. But when I do that it will have to be with somebody. For which, at least at the moment, 1 don’t even need to apologize. I need at least the one focal person around me, scary as the process of approaching that may be. Maybe if I can get that engraved in stone in my head, and remember it, I wouldn’t have to do so damned much approach-avoidance crap. But that too is probably wishful thinking. Thin-skinned I am, and that way will I probably remain. Almost everything has its costs as well as its rewards. Sensitivity tells you what’s happening, and over the long run makes it really hard to forget about it. Enough. As I wondered earlier, does this really do anything for you? If it helps to know that there is somebody else walking around scared, take that and welcome. If not, to hell with you, you could have stopped reading a while ago. Pax. Take care. �Throu.gh t lie; ooking Glass “Chief, We’re Picking Up Some Nice Comment? About Your Statement In Favor Of Individual Privacy” by Barry Kaplan Once upon a time in a mythical land of make-believe, there once roamed giants upon this earth. These men and women were heroic, good-looking, kind and never exhibited any bodily functions. The men wore white hats, carried pistols which were used only for good, and the women wore skirts and rouge in the middle of the desert without once ruffling their coiffeured hair. Of course, in this land of make-believe were bad men and women they were easily distinguished from the good guys cause they had black hats, if they were men, or if they were women, they usually were found in bars, smoking butts and parading their charms. These giants filled the plains of the American West, creating a morality play as uniquely American as Richard Nixon. When times get tough, Americans respond by looking for easy answers, for a villain, for a hero who will rescue us from our own folly, and in a contemporary Christ-like way sacrifice himself for us. After years of ceaseless indoctrination, the frontier is seen as all that is good in America, all that is pure and unspoiled - something that even the dimmest person can comprehend. John Wayne against the Indians, Gene Autrey and his horse living in sin as they fade into the sunset, Gabby Hayes and his numerous buddies eschewing women for the beauties of male companionship, and the wistful, pretty, strained faces of the female character as her man leaves to right some wrong these are stock images that all Americans seem to cherish and revere. The climactic scene at the end of each tale was usually the same; the Lone Ranger and Tonto exposing the bad guy, the seventh calvary arriving in the nick of time to save the wagon train, Gary Cooper fearlessly shooting the enemies of justice, the righting of wrongs and the punishment of — — evil. Closed out of gym — To the Editor the article concerning physical .,"r . Regarding education enrollment, I, too,, was closed out of the gym classes I applied for. In one sense, it is not such a critical situation, for I am a freshman and still have three years to acquire the credits. However, the credits were immaterial towards that particular phys-ed choice. The ballet class was one 1 anxiously wanted, and I was angry to find that only seniors were being force-registered into the course. There were approximately 30 other people also closed out. Contrary to what most people knew, the dance studio was able to provide for another class at another time. According to. Dr. Fritz, “The problem is created by waiting until their last year.” This problem was caused by small appropriations of money for faculty. Consequently, students are forced to wait until their junior or senior year, when they are finally accepted into classes. Fredda Cohen The Spectrum Vol. 24, No. 53 Monday, 11 February 1974 Editor-in-Chief — If the American people hold these truths to be self-evident, it is quite possible that our leaders also ascribe to such fantasies. It was only last year that pudgy, Germanic Henry Kissinger revealed in an interview that he imagined himself as a lone man upon a horse the Vision that encompasses the ingredients of the American West. If Henry Kissinger has his fantasy, it is quite possible that Richard Nixon also sees his present struggle in terms of the black-and-white of the old American West. In this script, Richard could play the part of John Wayne attempting to lead 50 wagons across towering peaks, arid deserts, lonely wastes, while battling Injuns, desperadoes, claim jumpers and assorted trash that did not contain any Anglo-Saxon blood. Let us return to thdse days of yore and write an updated version of that old standard, “The Trapped Wagon Train.” It is the final scene: the Winnebagos, oil trucks, cars and protesters surrounding the White House are massing for a final charge. Dick and his company had been unprepared for the assault. After crossing six previous crises, his adopted son, John, who was in love with his virginal daughter Julie, had stolen weapons from the isolated band in a jealous rage and defected to the enemy. Dick didn’t discover the loss until the next day and, realizing the serious nature of the situation, he bagan to roll his wagons into a circle, erase all previous conversations with his adopted son from his mind, and begun to prepare for the siege that he had expected so long. One by one his trusted and faithful companions were mortally wounded by the renegades encirclinghis defenses. Fighting to the end, his plumbers were ambushed by a ragged band of outlaws and they fell declaiming the virtues of God, Country and Immunity. Mitch, Emil, Harry, Erlich the Smiling Dutch cook, Stannie and the rest of the boys were captured and tortured until they were broken men. Ah yes, poor Rosemary, ravished by those savaged by those savages until she was a shadow of her former self, yet staying loyal to the group until the shameless end. The siege had lasted for months and it seemed as if the brave band could hold out no longer. The small ambush on the plumbers was expanded into an attempt by his foster son to remove Dick from control of the wagon train and kidnap Julie. The original band was reinforced by the followers of the feared income-taxers, oil erased shortage, personal tapes, false expenditures, and the . chief of them all the mass media-ites. For months the small and lonely band had held its positions; the superior breeding and training given to the executive branch and the incompetence of the opposition had prolonged what seemed to be on the surface an unequal struggle. Yet superior numbers had taken their tolli, disgrace and jail lay ahead; the final hour had come. Dick gathered his few trusted followers around his wagon, in somber tones he painted the grim picture. He asked for a volunteer to ride to the fort to bring help that Could possibly save the wagons. Henry, his faithful aide, quickly volunteered to ride to the fort and bring the calvalry. His departure heightened the gloom, Henry was always one for the rapid quips, and he was a valuable negotiator who once sold the Indians the royalties to Trish’s book iff return for California. Dick, always sensitive to opinion, realized that he must speak to his dwindling — followers — to give them hope, give them confidence. Before he could rally his forces, the attack came, the fighting was hard and furious the bodies of Cox and Richardson, two fierce opposition leaders, fell to the ground a recipient of Dick’s excellent aim. Yet they kept on coming through a breach in the defenses — — — they poured through killing and raping as they cause looked hopeless and then could it be the sound of a bugle? Was Henry and came. The help on the — - way? Tune in next week for the next installment of ‘The Wagonmaster.” Progressive education lives To the Editor. Progressive education will not be served by maintaining an adversary relationship between the University and the Colleges. Some of the Colleges have viewed attacks on their academic quality as attacks on their ideologies. The Reichert Committee, on which I was the undergraduate member, wrote a Prospectus concerned solely with the need for academic quality and increased faculty participation. Some members of the Colleges view these two needs as threatening to the future of innovative education on this campus. The chartering process does not favor ‘straight’ colleges over ‘radical’ones. Instead it provides the necessary mechanism for the existing units to justify their academic integrity. Only after such justification takes place will the Colleges receive the funding and respect imperative to fulfill the promise of alternative education at this University. Robert Kole.

Page nine �f — Bunch AU fired of garbage To the Editor: To the Editor. In reply to the Progressive Labor Party’s letter of Feb. 4,1 wish to describe that letter as a bunch of garbage in the following respects. 1) Maybe Shockley and his gang are right and maybe they’re not about blacks being genetically inferior. But you commies wouldn’t listen to what the man would have to say if he did accept your challenge to a debate. You punks only know one word, “racist.” Anybody who isn’t a commie is a racist. That just goes to show how narrow-minded the PLP is. 2) Shockley, Jensen, et al. have approached this issue as scientists. The PLP has approached it as a bunch of loud-hiouthed little brats. Why don’t you shut your big mouths and listen for a change. You might leam something. 3) The sterilization law in Ohio has come about as a result of people like commies who want everything given to them instead of working for what they need. State budgets are only so large. They cannot afford to foot the bill for illegitimate children who will probably grow up to be criminals or commies because of a warped childhood, in which case they are better off not being bom in the first place. That would be a waste of money, wouldn’t it. We have way too many commies in this world now. CO OJ « up We don’t need any more! One final message to the PLP. Step down off your high horse, commies. You can’t get lard less’n you boil the hog. You are living on borrowed time, because the day you try to overthrow our fine government is the day you will die! The U.S.A. made a mistake when we didn’t let General Patten kick those bolshies clean back to Siberia. This world would be a much better place if he did. Say your prayers, commies. This world is getting tired of you.! Anon Narrow-minded reactionary To the Editor. Dr. Gelbaum’s attitude toward the Colleges and the four-course load is in keeping with that of the narrow-minded academic reactionary he has shown himself to be. Two years ago myself and other representatives of the Ad Hoc Committee for Jewish Studies met with him to discuss the need for a Department of Jewish Studies on this campus. Not only did Dr. Gelbaum feel that no such need existed to any appreciable degree, but he also said that “Zionism was a source of much of the friction in the Middle East today.” If this is how Dr. Gelbaum, himself a Jew, treats his own, any actions he might take in his position as vice president for Academic Affairs are completely understandable. Eric Lehman Editor Ari , The residents of Clinton Hall of the Governor’s Residence complex have been plagued with repeated fire alarms at very late hours. The problem is unfortunately nothing new to this particular dormitory. In the fall semester there had been many incidents of petty arson with the burning of posters off walls, lounge furniture, kitchen facilities and student utility rooms in addition to missing fire extinguishers. This semester, however, the two out of three fire alarms have been false and make many of us wonder whether the alarm system is at fault. In any case, we fear many people are no longer taking the alarm seriously and may jeopardize their own lives by not responding to safety measures. The seriousness of these happenings does not seem to be reflected Editor’s note: The letter in question focused on the exorbitant thoroughly investigated to the satisfaction of the students living in the hall. For example, there was an incident where two Security officers argued with students over the validity of smoke fumes in a particular suite. Security said that the fumes were due to marijuana smoke and not a fire. This was completely untrue. When a student investigated, a thermostat was found to have been tampered with in such a way that it caused a back-up of heating fumes on an entire floor. We, the undersigned, would appreciate more substantial security and safety precautions to assuage our very real fears. If no action is taken, we may be provoked to set our housing contracts aflame. 104 residents of Clinton Hall Enraged at IRC To the Editor IRC has done it again. At its Saturday night beer blast, IRC’s admission policy for guests of IRC fee payers was totally unfair. What it amounted to was IRC telling its fee payers who their friends were to be. To be sure, an IRC fee payer could bring in a only under a certain condition. The was that the guest was not a dorm condition resident. Whether the guest was a member of the student body or not, it made no difference, he got in, if he did not live in the dorms. This, to me, is one of the most high-handed acts I have ever seen. To tell a person, who by the way is paying for the event, who he can bring in as a guest and have as friends is the most dictatorial act IRC has ever pulled. guest, but Gym problems An Enraged Dorm Student they had known, due to a limit set on the number of To the Editor. entries. Programs in which small numbers of students use the gym for long periods of time, or in which gym space is simply not used at all, represent very poor planning. It is pretty damn bad that a university this size has a gym facility on par with some local high schools, while many smaller colleges have facilities much larger than ours. It is even a worse situation when the use of the limited facilities is not planned with maximum student participation uppermost in mind. On occasion we have found the gross feel this is a understatement intramurals.” We and the article sadly misleading. It should have read gym empty but unavailable because the program that “the facilities are usually closed for basketball was scheduled had ended prematurely.

Tuesday, Feb. 12, 7:30 p.m. Another challenge To the Editor: In your letter to the Reporter Nov. 29 you defended the racist lie that blacks are genetically less intelligent than whites. Referring to Professors the leading Jensen, Herrrstein and Shockley proponents of the “black genetic inferiority theory” you wrote “Jensen et al are not racists. They have approached as scientists extremely sensitive subjects and found data that support what they themselves have stated are unattractive conclusions.” Those are very strong words, Prof. Rising. Can you back them up? The “unattractive conclusions” include Prof. Shockley’s plan to sterilize blacks and Prof. Jensen’s call for reducing the already meager budgets of black schools. Hitler had his Master Race theory, and he had his “scientists” and “data” too. It was all just a Big Lie. But you say its different with “black genetic inferiority,” that there is real data discovered by honest scientists. OK Prof. Rising, where is that data which can stand the scrutiny of public debate? We, the undersigned, challenge you to produce ONE IOTA of such data in a public debate, any reasonable time and place of your choice this semester. You have already refused a request to debate. Your continued refusal can only be interpreted as an admission that you have absolutely NO EVIDENCE to defeat the resolution; RESOLVED: THAT JENSEN ET AL ARE RACISTS AND THERE IS The World Champion New York Knicks ' - VS — NOT ONE IOTA OF SCIENTIFIC EVIDENCE TO SUPPORT THEIR RACIST LIES OF BLACK GENETIC INFERIORITY.

Providing a collective voice for University’s problems by Don Eisenmann Spectrum Staff Writer The new University Assembly, bogged down until now in organizational details, hopes to get off the ground at its February 28 meeting. The University Assembly was established to serve as an ongoing. University-wide advisory body tlftt would deal with campus-wide problems. Its 87 members include University professionals, graduates, undergraduates, night students, faculty, alumni and Gassified Employees. ‘There were a lot of different voices, some stronger than others, with little cooperation among the various groups,” explained Assembly chairperson Marjorie Mix. This made it difficult for President Ketter to get a collective opinion from the University, she said. “Hopefully the University Assembly will provide the President with this collective voice. If there is a crisis,” she added, “the University now has one on-going University-wide group to deal with it.” Evolution The University Assembly is the product of three years of hard work. It was initiated in 1971 when President Robert Kctter set up a task force to investigate University government. A University Governance Committee was then formed to draw up “Articles of University Governance.” The articles were ratified last spring by the constituent groups. The Assembly was designed as a persuasive body, Dr. Mix pointed out. Although the Assembly is an advisory body, it is unlikely Dr. Ketter would oppose the Assembly’s resolutions, since he had an active role in its formation, Dr. Mix said. An Executive Committee was elected last September. Headed by President Ketter, the committee convenes biweekly, and decides what matters will be put before the general Assembly body. However, resolutions may also be introduced from the Assembly floor. The Assembly hopes to deal with problems facing part or all of the University community. The only issues not under the Assembly’s jurisdiction are curricula and evaluation, which by law, arc under the exclusive control of the Faculty, Dr. Mix maintained. Doubts Undergraduate Dave representative Saleh, supported the Assembly’s intent, but was doubtful about its future. ‘1 had hoped the Assembly would become the chief advisory body and take some of the responsibility away from the Faculty-Senate, but because of its slow progress, I’m doubtful it will ever get off the ground,” Mr. Saleh said. Other representatives felt the concept of the Assembly is basically a sound one and hoped it would not evolve non-functional of the into a show-piece administration. Dr. Mix admitted that progress has been slow. “We have to be deliberate and careful to,ensurc what we do is solid and lasting,” she said. She believed that future actions of the Assembly will prove its worth. “If it doesn’t work, it means it wasn’t needed,” Dr. Mix said.

There are also other commissions for International affairs, art, music, physical culture, and others. The YCL also helps to initiate broad committees around specific issues, like in defense of the Chilean people against the military junta, and in support of the National Liberation Front and Provisional Revolutionary government in South Vietnam. They also work on committees that are set up to meet with foreign visitors, having students meet students, trade unionists meet their counterparts, and so on.

Many told me that it is considered an honor to be in the Party, and that only the better workers and more advanced people backbone of socialist societies. But it is also important in the various organizations, particularly the most political ones. For example, YCL members write a paper at the beginning of each new year, analyzing what they had done the previous year, and what they plan to do in the coming year. Included is what theoretical works they had studied by Marx, Engels and Lenin, and what works they plan to study in the new year. The Soviet people also study other philosophers and writers, and many from the west. But they emphasize Marx, Engels and Lenin because they feel those thinkers have given the clearest, most scientific and thus most accurate analysis of the history of human development. Not once did 1 feel that the Soviet people were trying to impress their ideas upon me, and in fact, it was usually through my questions that we talked about various political issues. The level of political understanding sometimes varied, according to one’s area of work or study. Those in the natural sciences, technical fields or arts, may not be as politically astute as those in history, economics, philosophy and other social sciences, though there are exceptions. One thing that seemed evident was that all students are serious about their field of study.

Saturday, the Bulls left Ohio for the third time without a win, dropping a thrilling 90-89 decision to Youngstown State. The finish was almost a replay of the Bulls 50-49 loss to Steubenville, when Buffalo guard Ken Pope was called for a foul with no time remaining and the Bulls ahead - 49-48. This time, it was forward Otis Home whistled for a foul on an attempted steal with 10 seconds left and the Bulls on the long end of an 89-88 score. Penguin forward Phil Gaston missed the ensuing free throw, but the ball bounded right back to teammate Mark Nichols, who had an easy jumper for the winning basket. Bulls argue call “No, of course I didn’t foul him,” responded Horne, who missed a last ditch shot from midcourt with four seconds left in an effort to pull the game out for the Bulls. Buffalo mentor Leo Richardson also was in strong disagreement with the official’s verdict. ‘That last foul call on Home was atrocious,” replied the Bulls first year coach. “He didn’t just foul him. On that last free throw, we had them in the right places, but the ball just bounced wrong, and their guy INicholsj was there for the rebound.” The Bulls were hampered in their stretch run attempt by the fouling out of freshman center Mike Jones. ‘The officials were real bad,” lamented Jones when all was said and done. “One time, I got so- mad, my lip started shaking.” Jones pulled in 17 rebounds, leading Buffalo to a 56-42 board edge. “Those last two calls on him weren’t fouls,” reflected a disappointed Richardson as his squad dropped their sixteenth game in eighteen decisions, including 12 losses away from home. 'The officiating was just lilce Akron. Had I not promised I wouldn’t take a team —off the floor, I would’ve done it tonight. It was just Scorers Women’s basketball squad thumps the Golden Eagles by Bruce Engel there was no reason to stop, and eventually she was looking for the ball as her teammates were more than glad to fped her. Contributing Editor Sue Patterson’s 19 points and strong rebounding by Ann Trapper led the Women’s basketball Bulls team to a 46-26 triumph over Brockport’s junior varsity squad Wednesday night. “Brockport is the UCLA of the state,” said coach Carolyn Thomas, explaining why she had requested Brockport to bring an abbreviated edition of their varsity squad. A mixup resulted in the Golden Eagles bringing their junior varsity squad instead. The contest was a non-league event. *ub-par officiating was nothing new to the Youngstown crowd, who have reportedly suffered through poorly officiated games all year. ‘That’s typical of the officiating we’ve been getting all along,” reflected Youngstown Sports Information director Greg Sbaraglia. Trapper, Larusch post low totals Patterson’s play went a long way in making up for the low point totals of Trapper and guard Denise Larusch. Trapper, who usually scores in double figures, only had seven points, sitting out much of the action due to a bad knee. However, Trapper and Pat Dolan dominated the boards by combining for 27 rebounds, Larusch, described by Dr. Thomas as a hot and cold player, had a frustrating first half but recovered somewhat in the second to finish with ten “Their varsity is out of our league,” Dr. Thomas commented. However the Bullettes contest with points. Because the game was not official, the teams Brockport’s JV was equally one-sided. Buffalo jumped off to an 11 -0 lead before the visitors scored decided to run the game themselves, as Dr, Thomas, who was in favor of the experiment, sat quietly in late in the first quarter. Patterson, a 5-6 forward, got most of tier game the stands. Denise Esposito was placed in full charge, high point total on outside shooting, largely from receiving input from several team members. She the foul line area. She hit three in a row towards the made all the substituting and organized the team end of the first half and nine consedative points at effort. the start of the second. ‘That was my first 'wifi hsVddach,” Said Ddriise “This was my best game ever” said Patterson after the game. “It was great. I really enjoyed it. after the contest. “I always shoot that much] but I They had to force me to go into the game with two usually stop when I’m not hitting.” Wednesday night minutes left. Coaching was so much fun.” '? , -The “It’s been real bad all year long.” The Bulls’ problems were typified by the time Jones fouled Nichols, the Penguins’ poorest free throw shooter at 52%. Gaston stepped to the line in his place and hit both ends of the onc-and-onc situation to put YSU ahead 68-67. Things should improve for the Bulls this week. They face Brockport'State tomorrow night in the first of a three game home stand in the more friendly confines of Clark Hall. The Bulls play only six games in the “pit” this season, the fewest number of games on campus since Clark Hall opened. The Eagles enter the game with an 11-7 slate behind them, including wins over Buffalo rivals Albany (77-73) and Geneseo (94-91 in overtime). Brockport was hard hit by graduation, losing^-Bull Ron Gilliam’s name. However, Ron’s younger brotifcr, Dan returns with his 15 points per game average and another ex-Buffalo eager, Guy Vickers, also returns for the game at Clark. Game time tomorrow will be 8:30 proceeded at 6:30 by a Buffalo-Brockport JV contest. * JV Bulls experiencing defeat in road by Paige Miller Staff Writer shot Road games continue to stymie the junior varsity basketball Bulls as they dropped a 83-74 decision to Canisius at Koessler Athletic Center Thursday evening. The loss marked the eighth time that the Baby Bulls have lost an away match. They have yet to win on the road and are 2-10 overall. Canisius had beaten Buffalo earlier this season by a score of 102-69. Tom Pleto, who had 19 points for the Golden Griffs in the teams’ first meeting, was held to just four points in Thursday’s contest. The slack was picked up by forward John Sommers, who scored 24 points and pulled down II rebounds. Steve Hill, a reserve forward, came off the bench and helped Canisius open up a large lead, with a 7-for-7 shooting performance. Canisius coach Bill Bennett remarked-: “Steve’s a good shooter. He tends to throw the ball away so we try to get it to him and just let him shoot.” scoring was a poor 31-for-80 from the floor. Spectrum Buffalo’s games more balanced. Nine players entered the scoring column, but none played an outstanding game, as the Bulls Bulls fail Early Canisius picked to capitalize in the second half, center Bernard Walker up his fourth personal foul. Bulls coach John Hill commented: “We tried to go inside to [Jim] PetcrSon more.” The idea didn’t work as Peterson missed several inside shots. The Bulls did manage to gain an advantage on the boards, where they pulled down 58 rebounds to Canisius’ 44. The Baby Bulls have been averaging more than ten rebounds more .than opponents this year. After the game, their Bennett praised the Buffalo squad. ‘They had better talent,” Bennett said, “but we outfoxed them.” Hill echoed the same opinion: “We are a better team, but we weren’t up for the game. It was like a pick-up game.” could Hill give no' explanation of why the Bulls continue to lose on the road. Perhaps the Bulls problems wiff end as they begin a six-game home stand against Brockport tomorrow night.

Rubin Staff Writer Spectrum Buffalo’s long two-month to a halt last as Penn State Bulls out of The loss was Buffalo’s first since the season opener against Cornell and drops the swordsmen’s record to 7-2, The Nittany Lions, coming off from a tough loss to Army, now stand at 4-2. Everyone expected a close match. Neither Buffalo Coach Sid Schwartz nor State headman Maxwell Garrett believed either team held any advantage. Last year, Penn State defeated the Bulls, 15-12, and Buffalo was hoping that good practices and high spirits would put them over the Howie top. Co-Captain Forman observed, “We have a great team. I think we have a good chance.” Garrett, in his first full year at Penn State, has done wonders with a team that has only three returning starters from last year. However, he was still wary of Buffalo: “We’ll have a fair season, but this will be a tough hayride screeched Wednesday night blew the fencing Clark Hall, 21-6. match.” the fencing began, the Lions took quickly control and held it the rest of the way. Only Bull Co-Captain Steve Munz was able to post two wins for Buffalo as Penn State, led by Captain David Berger (3-0), Chris and Hoppe Andy (2-0), (2-0), Night angle powered through the Buffalo lineup. Terry Reisine had the only Bull victory in foil. The Bulls and the Nittany were extremely Lions both at the surprised thumping. Schwartz observed, “I’m disappointed. I expected the foil team to win eight and they lost When Nittany eight.” Nightangale explained, “We fenced really well. We were psyched for this meet because we lost to Army.” Buffalo now faces a long layoff until February 23, when the Bulls invade Tech, but Rochester practice sessions will undoubtedly be geared for. the big home meet on March 2 when tough Notre Dame and Wayne State join ,R1T and Binghamton in a five-way extravaganza. That match, the last of the year before post-season play, will determine just how good a season Buffalo will have. Monday, 11 February 1974 . The Spectrum . Page thirteen �Grapplers cream Tigers in leers hold on despite uneventfulRochester meet Hockey Bulls a large AIC assault two scored against you,” Wright added. by Dave Geringer Sports Editor The SPRINGFIELD, Mass. hockey Bulls struck for six first period goals, Saturday night and raced to an 8-2 lead over Division two rival American International College (AIC). Buffalo then spoiled a fine effort by allowing the Yellowjackets to score six of the next seven goals. The result was Buffalo pulling out a 9-8 near-disaster in a contest that should not have been close. Right wing Mike Klym scored a three goal hat trick to boost his team leading goal total to 28. Klym tallied the last two Buffalo markers, with the latter one breaking a string of four straight Ycllowjacket goals to give the Buffalo squad a 9-6 lead, six minutes into the third period. - Stranges new leader The Bulls had forged a 6-2 first period beating lead, AIC goaltender Gary Newbert as regularly as clockwork. Buffalo captain John Stranges capped the first period outburst by tallying his 20th goal of the season with IS seconds remaining in the opening stanza. Stranges' three assists enabled him to take over the team scoring lead. The Bulls met another Division II rival, New Haven, yesterday afternoon before returning home to face Ithaca Saturday night. Buffalo had a enjoyed comfortable edge over the Bombers until Ithaca took two of the last three games played between the squads. ROCHESTER, N.Y.

Many of the Bulls meets this season have been Buffalo’s heavyweight Patt Russi, whose bad knees are in constant peril of serious reinjury, was exciting. This one was an exception. Few if any of the individual battles could be defeated by Dave Gibson 17—5. Russi had one of his termed close or containing any action that was knees drained of fluid the morning of the match and particularly spectacular. Even Buffalo coach Ed it started to pain him seriously early in the bout. ‘T Michael, whose match behavior is usually animated, still haven’t had enough time to get in shape,” Russi had a hard time getting excited.

Noviello’s squirming and rocking national rankings, placing them close to Buffalo’s around extended what might have been a super 20th place. - Poor play “When Klym scored the goals, I thought that was the end of their assault,” commented Bull coach Ed Wright. “We got gradually worse as the game went on. There is no way that we can play worse than we did in the third period tonight,” Wright added after the game. Wright was baffled by the third period developments, which saw AIC outshoot the Bulls 21-8 and outscore them four goals to one. “If I had an explanation for it, it wouldn’t occur again,” remarked Wright. “1 don’t.think a panic set in. I think for our young team, this was our biggest game of the f "Vear. The fact that we had two quick goals scored against us (in the first three minutes of the third period) made us be extra careful.

Before passing the Reichert Prospectus by a 47-1 margin, the Senators voted to permit each College to offer 10% of its courses on an experimental one-semester basis.- The Reichert report had recommended that all College courses be required to gain prior Division of Undergraduate Studies (DUS) approval. The Senate also passed a resolution providing for persons hired exclusively to teach in the Colleges. An amendment Collegiate Assembly representatives. As amended, the Colleges will have veto power over the six faculty members. Any College which fails to win this body’s approval will cease to exist. Early in the meeting, Faculty-Senate chariman Gil Moore stated that although the heated debate this week would be reserved for “substantive issues in order to expedite business.” He cautioned speakers to “stick to the point.” The successful amendment permitting a College to offer 10% of its courses as experimental for one semester, and then be subject to the evaluation of the Dean of the Colleges after onq term, was proposed by William Allen, professor of History. A second amendment which would have asking that Workshops be permitted to offer credit-granting programs for three semesters was defeated, as was a proposal to increase the limit on experimental courses to 25% of.a College’s total courses. The walk-out occurred when Cheryl Gordon, a member of the Attica Brigade, was ruled out oforder because she was not addressing her remarks to the amendment on the floor dealing with the Workshops. Under the new Reichert Prospectus, every existing College must be approved by next January by a Chartering Committee • fr ' three ' 8 February 1974 percentage of experimental courses to one-quarter was defeated. The Reichert Prospectus did not originally include a provision for experimental courses to be offered for one semester, as has been the practice up to now. “Experimental courses should be permitted; there are a number of Colleges against whom the charges of abuse are argued Dr. Allen. “If untrue t experimentalism is going to take place in this University, it will have to happen here,” he added. “We arc simply saying that justification is warranted,’’ asserted Dr. Reichert, speaking against the amendment. “Are we asking that experimental courses be ended through justification? We are not. I have followed The Spectrum very closely on this, and what the editors failed to note was that the Divsion of Undergraduate Studies Curriculum Committee is over half students, including , well-known ‘reactionaries’ like Debbie Benson.” Countering Dr. Reichert was Beverly Paigen, chairperson of the Colleges’ internal Program Evaluation Committee. Only 7 out of 124 College courses are categorized as experimental, excluding Colleges E and H, Dr. Paigen noted. College E offers 29 experimental courses out of a total of 70, she said, with the possibility that some of those 29 could change to increased the “ permanent status. The History Department has more unapproved courses than the Colleges, Dr, Paigen said. “The ten percent would be good if applied to the Colleges as a whole,” she explained. ~.nd —continued on page 4— niors are still equired gym ---no ■»■» dosed classes, he noted, while “there were 20 graduating seniors closed out of every course 1 tried to get into.” Although 78 gym sections arc being offered this semester, Dr. Fritz admitted that “more people have suffered from closed classes than before.” However, he hinted that the number of seniors who were closed out may have been exaggerated. The Phys Ed Department is in the process of compiling statistics on the class standings of students already registered in Phys Ed courses. .a ‘g Y m if II Some favor elimination If Phys Ed was made voluntary for everyone, explained Walter Kunz, associate dean of Undergraduate Education, many students might elect not to take gym and the program might have to be eliminated. However, Dr. Kunz said there is “some feeling among the faculty that the gym requirement should be eliminated.” The Faculty-Senate would have to initiate action on the gym requirement, with final approval coming from President Robert Ketter. Tracing the history of the gym requirement, Dr. Kunz said it was instituted through the belief that college graduates should be well-rounded, physically as well as academically. “A number of colleges around the country have found that when they abolished the physical education requirement, enrollment actually increased,” said Russ Gugino, assistant to the SUNY Chancellor for student affairs. This is because once gym was no longer required, the departments started being innovative; ‘They began offering what the students wanted, not what the teachers wanted to teach.” Courses in areas such as skin diving, horseback riding, billiards, ping pong, scuba diving, etc. were added and were a big attraction: “They emphasized physical education as recreation not just can get sweated up,” said Mr. Gugino. Some schools in the SUNY system have abolished the gym requirement since the option was given to individual schools, he reported. The physical education requirement is “the only SUNY requirement ever mandated by the Board of Trustees,” Mr. Gugino explained. The reason? “Years ago, the first construction approved for SUNY was expensive gymnasiums. The Board of Trustees had to make sure these gyms were used, or it would have been a political embarrassment,” he explained. Hence, a two-semester gym requirement. exercise so you �; \ ■ .. Workshops to explorefamily roles in contemporary society by Marty Markowitz Spectrum Staff Writer Two innovative workshops which will explore modern approaches to social relationships have been established by Carol Hennessey, Program and Student Development consultant for University Activities. The workshops, entitled, “Enriched Living,” and “Simulated Experiences in Marriage and Its Alternatives,” will be partially funded by Sub-Board I. The leader of both workshops is Mary Cleesattel, a social worker who has served for 28 years as a counsellor and district officer of the Child and Family Services of the United Fund in Buffllo. A member of the American Group Psychotherapy Association and the Group Psycotherapy Association of Western New York, Ms. Cleesattel believes the impetus behind these workshops is “the need for a preventive program leading to family enrichment rather than a pathological family situation.” Combined concepts The workshop in “Enriched Living” will combine concepts of Transactional Analysis with Gestalt exercises. Transactional Analysis is a theory developed by American psychiatrist Eric Berne, based on the notion that man is composed of three ego states: the parent, the adult and the child. When man interacts within a social context, the communication is transmitted from the ego state of one individual to an ego state of the other individual. Another important aspect of this theory is the assertion that for man to grow, mature and function, he must have attention, be it physical, psychological, or spiritual. This need for recognition and attention is universal and takes many shapes and forms. Transactional analysis helps an individual deal with the demands of attention in relation to himself and those he meets in a social context. The Gestalt exercises will aid the group in developing self-awareness and awareness of others. It will relate the concepts of transactional analysis toward* comprehending various social situations. The major aim of this workshop is to free “the adult” from the roles of “parent” and “child” that one often slips into. Ms. Cleesattel hopes the participants will become more authentic in their interpersonal contacts by understanding the needs and motives of others in their environment. Fun and games The marriage-workshop will question the concept of the traditional male-female relationship. The study will consist of simulated games where members, at the start of the first session, will choose a spouse, lover, or any other to a more open form, a more open relationship," she heterosexual or homosexual relationship. Through these concluded. simulated roles, the group will examine the failings of the The marriage workshop will investigate the nuclear traditional marriage form and search for options that will family structure, innovative pairing relationships (both give the individual a more fulfilling life. committed and non-committed), parenthood, and natural ‘The traditional marriage form is not holding up,” Ms. vs. surrogate childrearing. Ms. Cleesattel emphasized that Cleesattel said. “A primary reason for this is the inability she will not impose her ideas or values on the group of the relationship to meet the needs of people.” Noting participants. She is only interested in an objective that women are no longer tied to the pursestrings of the inspection of various lifestyles in the search of a “better men, she said: “With the advent of effective birth control, way.” the number of children within the family has decreased, The “Marriage Workshop” will meet on Tuesdays in giving the woman a greater chance to pursue an Norton Hall between 3 and 4:30 p.m. beginning February independent undertaking." 19 and continuing through April 30; The “Enriched Life” Ms. Cleesattel continued: “With each change in life, a Workshop will meet on Thursdays between 9 and 10:30 person's desires change.

Reinstated Colleges courses Analysis SA rep withdraws from consideration by Bruce Engel Despite his high qualifications, SA representative Frank Jackalone withdrew his name from consideration for the Student Athletic Review Board (SARB) Tuesday afternoon at the Student Assembly meeting. The behind-the-scenes politics that necessitated his withdrawal sheds much light on an unfortunate situation that stifles both the efficiency and fairness of student government. According to the new guidelines of the SARB, the board will contain members from SA, one from GSA, two from the varsity teams, two from the SA finance committee and three representatives from the student body at large. Further, the guidelines stipulate that the SA representatives on the board shall not be from the Executive Committee. Jackalone was only one of two SA representatives; the other being Stan Morrow, to apply for the two SA spots on SARB. However, he was rejected due to the fact that he is considered according to the SA constitution a full member of the Executive Committee. Mr. Jackalohe represents the Student Assembly on the Executive Committee. “He is as much a member as any coordinator,” said Student Rights coordinator Cliff Palefsky, who first raised the objection. Next step in our little melodrama was that the Assembly appointed Sal Napoli to the other SA spot despite the fact that he is also a member of the SA finance — committee. Then SARB chairman Warren Briesblatt appointed Jackalone to the board as an at-large student. Technically he is allowed to do so, although it violated the spirit of the guidelines. Now, of the three members of the Board that are supposed to represent the student body. at one is Jackalone, who should definitely not be considered an average student, one is The Spectrum sports editor Dave Geringer, with his own institutional tie, and the third is a young lady named Charlene O’Neil. The result is that there are no unaffiliated, males on SARB at all. At • this point, Jackalone withdrew his name, in fairness to the students that applied for the at-large posts, the only ones they were eligible for. However, the morning after the meeting, Mr. Breisblatt gave indications that he would not accept Jackalone’s resignation, that Frank is extremely qualified for the post and that he was sick of people large, playing politics with his appointments. People of different persuasion were quick to point out that Briesblatt is Jackalone’s campaign manager, his bid for SA President. The shame of the whole affair is that while those in student government play politics, the student body as a whole is the loser. In this case' they will either lose Jackalone as an extremely qualified member of SARB; or, if Jackalone remains, they lose one of the only three spots that are open to the average student.

' Campaign spending limited by Student Assembly vote by Sparry Alzamora Spectrum. S{aff Writer the Assembly that independents would not be allowed to pool their resources together and run collectively. Such ait action would The Student A«$eihhly voted Tuesday to place ajiijii t dn campaign expenditures for all candidatjtei'm the upcoming Student Association election. This ceiling on excessive campaign spending was one of the many revisions passed from the innovative program of election reforms proposed by the SA Elections Committee, In order to check the amount of unlimited spending that occurred in last year’s election, the Assembly approved the following sliding scale: Ticket of four persons: $124; Ticket of five persons: $144; Ticket of six persons: $164; Ticket of seven persons: $184; Ticket of eight persons: $204; Ticket of nine persons: $224; Ticket of ten persons: $244; Ticket of eleven persons; $264. Originally, the [dan called for limiting a ticket of four to $200; that limit was extended $20 to $2S for each additional member. (The absolute limit was $350 for a ticket of eleven.) However, there was a feeling that these allowances plight create more headaches than intended so the new amendment was seconded and passed mirror a situation directly opposite to what happened'last year, when candidates from a major party could easily outspend their independent rivals. A $60 spending limit for independent candidates was adopted, An amendment to reduce the expenditures on media advertising from two-thirds to one-third of the ticket or independent’s total spending limit was suggested. The founder of the proposal said that it would give smaller tickets an “even chance” against larger parties, since “interviews, campaign coverage and editorials” constitute much of the representation in Ethos and The Spectrum. But this sentiment was not echoed by those who felt one-third for advertising was “not enough;” the amendment was rejected, ' , : • y.'-,:' > * Auditing problems Everyone agreed that accurate records and receipts of spending be kept, members differed over when they would be subject to audit. A recommendation requiring two before and after the election audits was soon forgotten. One Assembly member said that “accurate records” were easy to keep, and that at least one candidate of a party be responsible for their ready availability. The question was never resolved and a ruling will be made next . week. On the question of reporting violations to the Elections Committee, Mr. Saleh said that there had been “no enforcement of — More for independents Some members suggested that the $60 limit for independents remain unaffected. “Independents can’t run a decent campaign without at least $50 or $60,” said vice president Dave Saleh. One Assembly objected: “Three independents would have more to spend than a ticket of four” if the sliding scale was utilized. Mr. Saleh assured - , -•m - r Ji • _ p . election guidelines” before this year. He said the Committee would judge all violations which are punishable by fines and/or suspension or complete expulsion of a candidate or ticket from the ballot. “What if a candidate is found guilty of a violation after the election?” someone asked Mr. Saleh. ‘The election could be nullified,”' he responded. Others were convinced that any infractions that might occur may never be reported. Mr. Saleh, however, was confident the system would work: “All fines levied against violators of these guidelines shall be paid within 72 hours.” Otherwise, automatic suspension is inevitable, he said. A less biased ballot structure, consisting of full lines of independents randomly selected by the Elections Committee, was approved. Mr. Saleh termed it a “fair way” of combatting last year’s problem of placing only major candidates on party lines. One new rule was created by a concerned member and stated; “Any candidate can’t beat up another candidate during the election.” He added that this rule was never mentioned in the original program of reforms and violence would have remained legal if never stated. A rule against “buying votes” was also suggested. Mr. Saleh changed the wording to read: “No physical or monetary coercion may be used.” This rule, along with most of the election reform proposals, was passed by voice vote. Urge suspended Canisius paper be reinstated Capisius .publications .board voted Tuesday to retain the student "editors of , The The Griffin, and recommended that the suspension of the newspaper be lifted. However, publication of The Griffin will not resume unless Michael Langan, vice-president for Student Affairs at Canisius, formally approves the publication board’s recommendation to lift the suspension. Dr. Langan indicated Wednesday that he was not entirely satisfied with the publication board s ruling, and said a final decision on lifting the suspension of The Griffin would be made after further “consideration and consultation.” Canisius College officials had suspended publication of the student newspaper and ordered the editors to appear before the college publication board because the latest edition of The Griffin contained a nude cartoon of the college president, the Very Reverend James M. Demske. No censures No sanctions or censures will be iji ■ i ■ ■ .. ■ ■ imposed against The Griffin editor-in-chief Alphonso Davis II and managing editor G.J.

Mr. Donlon added that he cast the lone > •'» • Mr. Davis had- charged that the real reason Canisius officials suspended the paper and ordered the editors to appear before the publications board was because of editorial positions they had taken on controversial issues. However, Mr. Donlon reported the controversial topics an editorial criticizing Canisius College for not providing blacks with academic assistance and a front page cartoon satirizing a tuition hike passed while students were away on were not even discussed at the vacation publications board meeting. — — CANISIUS COLLEGE, BUFFALO, NEW YORK 14208 in the Canisius College student handbook. Specifically, the publications board stated that the editors should have submitted the controversial centerfold to the publications board for approval before going to press. Dr. Langan’s request to submit the “questionable centerfold” to the publications board was disregarded by the editors. Patrick Donlon, director of Public dissenting vote against retaining the editors because of the seriousness of the violation. Editor satisfied Editor Davis told the Buffalo Courier-Express that he was satisfied with the board’s decision but added that he didn’t think he erred in refusing to withhold publication of the centerfold until the publications board was consulted. In related developments, the board called on the faculty advisor to The Griffin to work closely with the staff and set up a student committee to draft new by-laws governing The Griffin. A central issue is whether Canisius College, as publisher of The Griffin, should determine the content and editorial policy of the paper. The Griffin is funded primarily by the Canisius administration through the student government.

In a meeting Monday evening at WNYHRG’s Norton Union office, Donald Ross, director of the parent New York F1RG, quelled many of the disputes regarding the purpose and philosophy of WNYPIRG. According to Jill Siegel, newly-elected Administrative Assistant of WNYPIRG, the organization had been plagued by “lack of organization and a lack of structure. We didn’t have much unity on our projects, and there was a lack of communication between project heads as well as a lack of publicity.” The meeting Monday night was the third in two weeks designed to eliminate internal discord. The previous two meetings met with failure because of basic philosophical differences between the state wide NYPIRG and WNYPIRG. Ms. Siegel said the problem was “not knowing what NYFIRG as a parent organization, wanted from WNYPIRG.” Referring to the projects, Ms. Siegel said: “We were unsure whether they all had to lead to legislative reform or not. Mr. Ross said they don’t have to be legislatively inclined.” Buffalo is key In an attempt to lure WNYHRG into the can be the parent organization, Mr. Ross proposed projects According to Mr. Ross, deal for the Student Association. For a with a or university-oriented, communitygroup the sole purpose of raising public PIRG to join NYPIRG, the state $3 allocate with PIRGs to requires schools consciousness on various issues. $3 a for every enrolled student. Since activities the student mandatory increase in Building strength With concrete goals established for the fee was voted down last semester, projects, the group then began to discuss WNYPIRG is exploring alternative their structure and organization. The possibilities to obtain funding. Mr. Ross by-laws were written to giv* the proposed that SA make an initial grant to organization’s members some recourse for WNYPIRG to be matched by a grievances and an understanding of how proportionately smaller grant from WNYPIRG works. Ms. Siegel termed the NYPIRG. After the first year’s trial run, [but] pretty SA would determine whether it was worth by-laws “still incomplete it to continue or expand the existing much on its way.” Mr. Ross described the purpose of the WNYPIRG allocation. Students might local and state-wide PIRGs as “two-tiered.” support this because they voted last fall for Essentially, each local PIRG is given SA to “re-order its priorities” to fund additional credibility in the community WNYHRG, but not to raise the fee. SA has when it becomes a member of the state been leery of granting a large sum of group. It can then take a stand on a money to WNYHRG for fear of not particular issue and gain the support of the getting enough in return. Mr. Ross feels the entire state PIRG organization. However, matching allocation will eliminate this ... the local PIRGs arc encouraged to embark upon projects of purely local significance. These projects may originate within the local organization, or may come from other PIRGs across the state, in a process Mr. Ross termed “reverberation.” With membership in the state organization, the local group also gains access to the full-time and part-time staff available in other PIRG offices, as well as hiring their own staff to work locally. As a PIRG hires a staff, community input is generated, and Reichert report. were to the contrary, Colleges Committee chairman Jonathan Reichert insisted; “It would be a serious mistake to allow a group of unchartered people to each for more than three semesters.” The Workshop amendment was defeated as nearly the entire gallery of observers filed out of the meeting, many of them remaining right outside. Senate proceedings were hindered breriefly when those outside the door shouted their disapproval of the Reichert Prospectus and University administration, and chanted derogatory phrases in unison. Colleges Committee undergraduate Bob Kole attempted to amendment was rejected. defeated. Also defeated was a proposal by Dr. “The idea that faculty and administration are the key participants in Hochfield that would have eliminated the the Colleges is untrue.

The group is also seeking to increase the effectiveness of the ongoing recycling project by expanding the dorm aspect of the project, where it has been found to be most successful. A major state-wide project which has received coverage in The New York Times is the Legislators Profile Project. Approximately 100 students across the state, including about 16 from this University, arc preparing profiles on all the 210 New York State Legislators. Some students are receiving credit for the work, which is being modeled after Ralph Nader profiles completed on U.S. Congressmen. The project is merely designed to furnish information heretofore unavailable in any form on the state legislators, and has already met with some resistance from the . proponent. Arguing stores.

Citing a “proliferation of courses without substance,” Professor of English George Hochfield asked the Senate to reject the amendment, adding; “Let’s try to respect the integrity of the Reichert Prospectus and the Colleges Committee as the Committee of this Senate.” The ten percent amendment carried by a vote of 29-22. The amendment calling for credit-granting workshops to be offered for three semesters before being subject to review was proposed by Carlos Kruytbosch of the School of Management. To encourage new programs and develop new Colleges, Workshops many offer non-credit seminars for one semester and credit-granting programs for two more terms if approved by DUS. After three semesters, a Workshop must apply for Collegiate status or disband. “I think that Workshops should be encouraged through a system of more reward sooner,” said one >• local doctor has also agreed to write prescriptions to facilitate the purchase of tb« wore restricted drugs. the base of support for the organization expands from the campus exclusively to the city or community at large.

It was reported that Dr. Allen refused to introduce another amendment he had prepared out of anger of the walkout. It was also learned that many members of the Collegiate System were upset with the walkout and the bad feelings it may have ” created.

This segment explores alternatives tq the tenure system. r ,. by Renee Ryback Staff Writer Spectrum To safeguard the academic freedom of non-tenured faculty at many colleges and universities, “elaborate quasi-judicial procedures’’ have been established. Because these procedures have often been effective, many educators wonder why they aren’t utilized on a universal scale, thus eliminating the inherent deficiencies in the tenure system. Proponents of tenure claim there is too fine a line between academic freedom and professional incompetence to justify such a policy. At Bloomfield College, a private school in New Jersey, an explosive decision was made last June to abolish tenure. Faced with enrollment drops and a widespread financial crisis, a radical move was necessary for the survival of the college. “We came' to the conclusion that the tenure system is an inhibitor of change,” explained Sociology professor William A. Sadler,. Jr., who:headed Oft' dOftinintfei fhat pthpbSid fhe reforms, “A tenured faculty member doesn’t have to defend what he’s doing,” he said. Censure list The American Association of University Ptofessors (AAUP) has filed suit against Bloomfield, and “is considered a cinch to make the AAUP’s list of censured institutions next spring,” reported The Chronical of Higher Education. In comparison the to recently-approved tenure quota of 50% at City University of New York, which opponents have termed “arbitrary,” the percentage of tenured faculty members in each of the faculties at the State University of Buffalo is as follows; Faculty of Arts and Letters - 62% Faculty of Educational Studies -65% Faculty of Engineering 65% Faculty of Law and Jurisprudence 72.7% Faculty of Natural Sciences and Mathematics 62.5% Faculty of Social Sciences and Administration 65% William Gill, provost of the Faculty of Engineering felt these figures should be qualified by recognizing that this University is in an “unusual position” nationally. “We are looking forward to increasing our faculty size as we move to Amherst” at a time when most universities are leveling off their enrollments and faculties, said Dr. Gill. “Continuing appointments,” as tenure is called at this University, are granted on a University-wide basis according to guidelines put forth by the SUNY Board of Trustees. When a non-tenured faculty completes probation, he is evaluated at several levels, explained Robert Paaswell, chairman of the Faculty-Senate Committee on Tenure. - — — - mender 1'liSf* Initially, tenured faculty from the candidate’s department go on record for or against their colleague utilizing input from students and non-tenured colleagues.

The damage is bad. The entire Prospectus reeks of faculty E, F, Social Sciences, Modern Education feel they have no chance of winning approval from the Chartering Committee. The blow was softened by granting the there is now some Colleges a veto over the six faculty appointees hope those faculty may be somewhat open-minded. If the SA and GSA Presidents appoint Collegians as their three student delegates, there will be five Collegians and six faculty subject to Collegiate veto. supremacy, and the more radical Colleges — — — Still, a large criterion for approval is bound to be number of credentialad faculty teaching in each College, and here the more progressive Colleges come up short. They have tried to attract progressive faculty to support them, but 1) there are few progressive faculty on this campus; 2) the tight job situation has scared even progressives with tenure and promotion in mind away from the Colleges; 3) the Colleges have no money. Of course straight Colleges like B and D will bo able to attract faculty. But, the more progressive Colleges' main assets dedicated grad students, professional are likely to be community people and large student enrollments ignored by the Chartering Committee. Unless that committee is extraordinarily open-minded, their insistence is likely to be on the number of credentialed faculty. The result is that the whole chartering process is .weighted against radical or alternative programs.

Who has never felt like' a spirited and well-intentioned individual living by his wits, scampering about some solid structure like a more innocent Sgt. Bilko? Ossian Flint, the hero of Studio Arena Theatre's February production is such a character but with a weird twist. Instead of seeing him in his prime, aglow with youthful promise and spanky ideas, we find Flint in his seventies. He's gotten by on charm and wit for many years, and is just confronting one final calamity with the irony and irascibility of age and rogue caught up - experience. His particular situation (and it could have been anything from the police force to the army to an income tax bureau to a school system) is the Anglican church in which ho is a vicar. Through the years his antic personality ha* threatened to turn the "dying institution into a chronic farce." And yet, more through fear of damnation than anything else, Flint has maintained a peculiar love for the church which pushed him into its service despite parental objections. "Don't go into the Church," his mother used to say. "God isn't fun." Wedlock Flint is fun, but he's been married since his youth to a prune of a wife (how? who knows?) who. has remained a virgin (how again?). As Flint is sexually alive, he has had to find female companionship, wherever he could and when you're a vicar, this takes no little'guile. At seventy, Flint is still lusty, but he is "a tower of with creaking bones. I'm not so lust much a body," he admits, "as a relic." The plqy by David Mercer forces us to rtWke a rather moral judgment for or against Flint and once we opt in his favor, we're implicated in everything he does. We've got to admire his spunk and wonder how in heaven's name he ended up where he did. Playful people like Flint don't create friction in isolation; it's only when they brush up against steel-plated institutions that things get hot. His frolicksome spirit, encumbered by that wife, the conventions of religion, and old age, burns on. — — — Two key aspects determine the play's chance to succeed. First, there is the character of Flint. For it to work, we've got to love him and it's not atl that easy. He's an irreverent viear who, in chasing young girls, runs the risk of seeming like a dirty old man of the cloth. — Blazing star Kenneth Mars, as Flint, is entirely lovable and refreshing. He knows where to pause to smooth his silver locks, how to ramble with mock concentration in his leering eyes, and when to just "kid around" as he sings and flaps his scarecrow limbs. Familiar to moviegoers as the nutty Nazi in The Producers, he has also appeared on the defunct television series He and She as the resident fireman. Like a wry, human benediction he holds the production together. Stylization is the other important aspect Clever, stagey, and highly stylized, the trick with a show like this one is to be artful without getting gimmicky or hokey. To do this,' the stylization must be justified in terms of the story, yet it should not be predictable. Also, in order to remain surprising and interesting, it must never be excessively salient; fringe hokeyness is not hokeyness at all, but rather, stylization. of the play. For example, the walls of the stage are actually tarp-like drapes behind which (out of view) are projectors of some sort. These projectors flash the scenery on the tarp like a magic lantern might, so that a change of sceneis as easy to effect as a change of film slides. One moment, we're in the vestry, the next we find ourselves in the vicarage. This works because we don't expect it. The set looks solid to the point that you begin to admire the stained-glass windows. Our attention is riveted on the sets, not on the set changes, so when the lightning metamorphosis occurs, it's fun. Surprise! At the play's conclusion when the scene shifts to Flint on a motorcycle traveling around Europe, the tarp-projector method is used to display a host of European scenes. At this point the device fails; it becomes gimmicky as it is made to focus our attention instead of remaining a fringe effect. Lovable Mars himself uses a piece of business where he pulls from his picket a huge box of matches, lights his tobacco, and then places the lighted match back into his pocket. As his name is Flint, and as he is under suspicion of arson at the time, the move is appropriate, but as it is done in a very off-hand manner with the dialogue kept as the center of interest, it is a very good and, yes, even subtle move. — — Kudos Cast members Maureen Hurley, as Flint'* unsettlingly manical sister-in-law, and Bob Moak, as the bishop, succeeded in giving us this type of surprising characterization, with the important quirks beautifully underplayed. Especially effective is Tom Mardirosian in the role of Mr. Hodge, a beefy choirmaster. His ire at the choir is grand totally inappropriate to the and loud situation. Yet it is this inappropriateness that makes the characterization particularly effective and comic. How, you — might ask, can a swaggering, puffing, hollering character like Mardirosian's Hodge by anything but hokey and obvious? Well, because it is unexpected it is not obvious. Furthermore, bear in mind that as he is playing the scene with a choir of children, it is the kids who immediately steal our attention (just as the show-biz expression would lead us to expect). He is automatically on the sidelines, so he can bluster all he wants. And he knows it. Not confined to the set and characterizations, this sense of surprise is mirrored in the plot. There is one scene (you'll know which one) deep in the second act that is enormously shocking due to atmosphere of controlled hysteria. Final bows Giving fine, solid performances are Richard Neilson (Dr. Colley), Niki Flacks (Flint's girlfriend, Dixie) and absolutely endearing Geoff Garland (the inspector). These actors do not create especially imaginative characters, but they're sure enough and good enough in their own ways. Maybe some helpful words from the director could turn these roles into minor masterpieces. Too predictable and obvious are Lance Brilliantine (as Flint's foil), Betty Lutes (as Flint's wife) and Ray Hill (as the bishop's secretary) A random comment; the play's second act runs on much too long and, as the plot stops moving about midway into it, nothing really saves it from being just talky. Flint is a kind eulogy for organized religion and, finally, for Flint himself. He's the last human vicar, gleaming as long as possible before a new desperate gust of disinterest and mechanical efficiency blow his flocker from the candle of faith. "There are many paths to grace," he posits. "Irreverence may be one of them." Flint is fun. Flint is fun, mostly. Friday, 8 February 1974 The Spectrum Page nine . . �% . Red Stawart/Facet Overatures and Beginners (Mercury) V When Rod's harsh vocal ramblings lash out in the recording studio what you with all the resultant pod-twirling and cognac-sipping eventually come up with i$ a slick, extremely polite, almost dandyish look into England's answer to America's if not occasionally rowdy obvious lack of social grace. That's all in the studio and that's all fine and good, but put these delicious crumpets into the coffee cup of touring and live performance and they immediately crumble. From the sublime to the slovenly. And it has a lot to do with their obvious much the same as the inability to match their own musical statement Beatles when they became total slaves to technology and began creating on a level unsuitable for live performance. This can be seen in the strain hence no more put into the rooftop performance in Let It Be might something have to do with the right of an Beatles. Why? Well, it audience to hear material live that ha's the same quality of the studio recording. Electronic trickery always seems to muck up the works. An exarttple of this inability to keep up with the pace of the technocracy can be all too harshly heard in Rod Stewart and the Faces latest release, Overatures and Beginners. Which immediatefy sets up an annoying fit of schizophrenia within my soul. Why? Well, Rod (now this is from the fans-eye view, mind you) is so polite and has a certain kind of delicate sensuality that makes you all weak inside. Maybe it's just the fact that I get off on ugly, skinny guys with thick British — — — — -*■ — accents. Okay, the production is good, but it-suffers from a lack of musical substance which is so desperately needed when you undertake a live recording. That's the main trouble, with live recordings, they lack the jneat to mak§ the sandwich. On occasipn Rod's sublime throat is able to transcend the mediocrity of the musical background and send chills up my spine This happens specifically in the "Borstal Boy/Amazing Grace" nine-minute extravaganza. Aside from Rod the Mod's lung power, there are a few nice moments of slide guitar but nothing virtuoso. Certainly nine minutes is a bit overindulgent. — "I'd Rather Go Blind" is nice, but I'd rather go blind rasp on Rod. Side One is where all the trouble begins. "It's All Over Now" is a song which I used to dance to in the bars. Done here it's like a cold shower brrr: or even better a pair of dirty underwear un-sexy. "Cut Across Shorty" is such a great song that it can't possibly be ruined, even in the context of this vinyl shortage.

Ya see, if you start out by really disliking an album by a group you've sweated for, then it might take you just a shade or two longer to dig in behind what is actually going on between the grooves Those bad boys from Beantown are on the prowl once again, continuing their monomaniacal obsession with the ressurection of a rapidly fading r&b motif especially that of the late fifties and early sixties, Arlester Christian's soulful dialouge and Otis Redding's sheer prescence of body, to be exact. J. and the boys are goosin' with the ooglie one mo' time. To be perfectly honest, it's a relief to see that someone's taking the time to preserve that kind of slick-footed sloshing music. Remember the Walk and Mickey's Monkey. This whole record conjures up all the sweat James Brown got rid of in the TAMI Show "Plezzzze Pleezze me." It is also one of those rarities that make you like it despite your initital disappointment. This is the kind of vinylathon that gets more exciting as the days, minutes, hours, pass and the loose-juice flllowvwvwsss. The band hasn't really progressed that much musically, but that really isn't necessary so long as they get their conceptuality back in gear. "Full House" was a stacked deck and totally incongruous, and caused them a lot of damage by forcing them into a fixed touring something they obviously couldn't maintain and still keep up stance with their development as R&B artists.

Whether you’re still in medical school with the rigors of three to five years of graduate medical education still to be faced, or arc already a practicing physician, it’s our opinion that the Air Force can offer both professional and personal satisfaction hard to duplicate in civilian life. An overstatement? -Not if you consider the specifics. Take the problem of graduate medical education. It’s a period of your life the Air Force can make considerably easier with comfortable salary and living conditions. Creature comforts aside, the Air Force offers professional advantages. Besides receiving training in your own specialty, you’d be in contact with physicians in all of the medical specialties. You’ll function in an environment which is intellectually stimulating and professionally challenging. Not afl physicians pursue post residency fellowships. But if you are interested, the Air Force con- ducts them both in-house and atcivilian institutions. The physician already in practice can look forward to other things. If you want training in the practice of the medicine of the future, you’ll find it in the Air Force. For example, there’s emphasis on group medicine and preventive medicine, and the growing specialty of “family physician.” Whatever your interest, there are few specialties which are not being practiced in today’s Air Force. The physician starting his practice in civilian life has to take into account the cost of setting up an office. The physician commencing his practice in the Air Force docs not. He finds his office established for him. Supplies and equipment readily available. He has many options available to him when treating patients. For example, he can consult with Air Force specialists. He also has referral to other Air Force facilities via aeromedical evacuation. Last, but not least, are the satisfactions that come with having the opportunity for regular follow-ups, and a missed appointment rate that is practically nil. Whether you are already a physician, or soon to become one, you might find it extremely interesting to find out what the Air Force has to offer. We think it could be a real eye-opener.

In rural areas of the country, mail order has long been the accepted method of purchasing items not obtainable nearby. For the city dweller who has numerous audio shops within easy reach, mail order still offers several advantages to recommend it, despite some considerable drawbacks. Most mail order houses do not have demonstration facilities or salespeople. They don't usually pay high rent for a prime location. Mail order houses, can therefore afford to offer very low prices, prices matched only in cities where tight competition keeps profit margins slim. A short list of prices at typical mail order houses includes; AR XA Turntable: $99 list, $63 mail order; Shure M91 ED Cartridge: $55 list, $17 mail order; Dynaco SCA80Q/A Amplifier; $250 list, $164 mail order; AR 5 Speaker System (pair): $350 list, $240 mail order; Tax (on local or in-state mail order): $52 list, no tax on out-of-state mail order, mail order Shipping Charges are about $20 on mail orders. The total charge for these components comes to $806 for list prices, $504 for mail orders. If you examine the.figures you'll note that choosing a mail order house in another state offers a second financial advantage; you are not required to pay sales tax. In New York State this means an additional 7% savings. Nearly all mail order houses wilt expect you to pay the freight on your purchase. This does not generally amount to much if you pick a mail-order house near your home. Unfortunately, mail prder denies you some of the conveniences offered by local outlets. Most dealers will replace a new component if it is defective (though I've heard of instances where the customer must wait for repairs). If any equipment in your mail order shipment is defective, you must seek warranty repair youself. In most cases, this is not as difficult as it sounds. Many local dealers are authorized repair centers for various manufacturers. These dealers can perform warranty repairs and are reimbursed by the manufacturer for their services. Even though the dealer didn't make the sale himself, he should be willing to repair warranted components as part of his function as an authorized repair center. In some cases you may have to return a defective component directly to the manufacturer. Most companies are both polite and efficient about repair service. Some, like AR, are willing to pay the entire freight. Others usually pay half. In any case, remember that virtually every name brand audio component is covered by some sort of warranty. A major consideration in mail order purchasing is selection. Many major brands (mainly price-controlled lines) are not carried by most low-price mail order houses. Fair-traded items are also sometimes more difficult to find. Another drawback of mail order is the potential of damage to your equi ipment while it is in transit. Insurance claims must be filed with the carri ier and replacements are sometimes long in arriving. An important point for many people is the instant gratification offered by guying in town. If you purchase locally, you can listen to your system the day you buy it. Mail order obliges you to want at least a week A much more serious concern in mail order purchasing is reliability. The largest number of complaints received by consumer agencies refer to mail order purchases that never arrive. For this reason it is wise to deal with only long-standing and reputable houses. Rather than be accused of favoritism, I shall refrain from mentioning any names here. An experienced and knowledgeable friend should be able to guide you on this point. One note of advice; Some mail order firms may claim to be "radical alternatives" to high local prices and poor local service. My research has shown mail order prices at one widely advertised house to be substantially higher than some less "politicized" organizations. Furthermore, the highly refined catalogs issued by this house often feature "heartfelt" endorsements for products that are basically high mark-up items. <. o o D s?2? 3v CHINESE FOOD STEAKS CHOPS • • • o • • I Air conditioned Free Parking 12 midnight Open 7 days a week 7 a m.

The film flows particularly smoothly in a sequence involving a card game between Gondorf and Lonnegah, where one is never quite sure what will happen until it does. Scenes like these add touches of levity to the action. There are those films which are put together, edited, and sent off in plain paper bags. Then again, there are those films which show that extra care has gone into their production. Producers Tony Bill, Michael and Julia Phillips (The Marx Brothers incognito) have put together a film with class. The Sting fits into this latter category.

Over the past year The Sting, Paper Moon, and perhaps even Sleuth have dealt with the game of deceit. All three were supported by good acting, which enhanced the effort, but I can't help wondering what will become of similar films in the future if the acting is not up to par, and if the "smart guys" out here get smarter through over-exposure and end up one step ahead of the action on the screen. The result may be that films like The Sting will be reduced to nothing more than Dutch Schultz films, and the American romance with the con will then be over. by Tom Lansing Spectrum Arts Staff America is facing a very real dilemma these days: it is disillusioned with professionalism. In these days of corrupt politicians, indicted lawyers, malpracticing doctors and inhumane science research, where is a soul to go? But alas, there is still a profession which has held up in these hard times; in fact, its general position has improved in the eyes of America. What, you may ask, could that possibly be? Answer: the field of professional companionship. The film industry has helped to unravel a love affair between the American public and the con man. Americans have great respect and a general inclination towards anyone who can pull anything over them;’ sort of like, "Yeah, he's got to be smart. He even fooled us smart guys." Sure, in real life there are a lot of big con men, but don't think that the movies of late haven't offered us anybody better. You have these guys Nixon, Erlichman, and dames like Woods, and they're alright and all that, but they really aren't fooling anyone. Take, however, people like Ryan and Tatum O'Neil in Paper Moon or Robert Redford and Paul Newman in The Sting, and you've got some real lovables. This latter pair is of more interest since the O'Neils were small-time operators, while Redford and .Newman deal with the big stuff (but haven't promise, always running away they always?). Stinging the underworld Developed from the screenplay of David S. Ward, The Sting deals with a "drifter" con, Johnny Hooker (Robert Bedford) and his connection with a real pro, Henry Gondorf (Paul Newman). Their hitch-up has the ultimate goal of putting the "sting" on a big underworld character called Doyle Lonnegan (Robert Shaw) in order to avenge Lonnegan's bad treatment of Johnny. The setting for the film is no less than greater Chicago, circa 1936. Now if that doesn't add to • the American public's romance, nothing will. Friday, 8 February 1974 . The Spectrum Page eleven . �II The Chameleon Corps ft Other Shape Chengers by Ron Goulart (Collier Books $1.50) An incredible amount of balance is needed to become a bird. Birds come in many styles. One must choose between eagle or starling, a diet of mice or worms, between singing or chirping. The crucial question, however, is life versus death: dead bird, live bird, old bird, new bird To answer such questions, mental balance is of utmost importance. This is the problem that besets any member of the Chameleon Corps, a subdivision of the Political Espionage Office of the planet Barnum. Even without Bailey, it is all one big circus tight-rope usually nothing more than the workings of that idea. His adventure tactics, used in The Chameleon Corps, produce stories of poor plot and poor style. In the remaining stories, however, the style is brisk due to the lack of plot; for they don't need a plot, only the gimmick. For example, there is the story of a town whose entire population is slowly transforming itself into cats. Then there is a fantastic actress who has gotten ... * act. Three cheers for ABCI The second season for TV, has brought us a good situation comedy show. (Did he say. good?) Tuesday nights from 8-8:30 ABC has seen fit to bring good ole nostalgia to the tube. Happy Days is a teenage look back into the mid-fifties when guys were guys and gals were gals, or something to that effect. The show, an offshoot of that incredibly good movie American Graffiti, is real and honest. Nasty mommy letters are already coming in, saying how awful and immoral the show is. An irate mother is quoted by a local critic: "After Ronnie Howard practiced unfastening an empty bra, and then started on the girl, my husband turned off the set in disgust. Tell me what has happened to our sense of values in family TV. Where are we heading as a nation when we offer our youngsters such a cheap and filthy TV diet?" Wow! Come on lady, you've got to be joking. Happy Days is about as filthy and cheap as the Reverend Billy Graham! The writing is brilliant (Rob Reiner wrote the first show). Enough said. Ronnie Howard and his buddy (played very well by Anson Williams) seem like they've been friends since way befora Happy Days was ever conceived. Howard, now 19, has that perfect face that fits comfortably into anyone's living room. And Tom Bosley, as Howard's father, portrays the middle-class father who's biggest tfirill is seeing Uncle Miltie and the men from Texaco, BoSley is adequate Happy Days is light, very funny, and above all it's honest. That's a lot more than can be said about it's competition on CBS (the highly-rated Maude). Honesty, not over-sophistication, is where comedy is headed today. I hope Happy Days knocks that CBS attempt at comedy right out of California and into fhe ocean. If you enjoyed American Graffiti, you're bound to enjoy Happy Days. Like the cat said, "Rock and roll is here to stay."— Howie Ruben Remember when Sean Connery suddenly became Roger Moore but James Bond still remained James Bond? Well, it is that quality of sameness despite changeability that creates an agent of the Chameleon Corps. The agents are highly trained in decision-making and self-defense yet they often tackle problems that never would have existed for them had they not had the ability to change. One of these problems is the question dead bird or live bird. America today has grown up on changes: Plastic Man, Tom Terrific, Felix the Cat and his magic bag. Superman and his telephone booth. Always considered To be so young, America has been going through an identity crisis. Ben Jolson, Goulart's Chameleon Corps agent, does everything that America as a country has ever done and more. It is all a little satire set in a background of political turmoil and underground intrigue (just like everyday life). It is very easy to assume that everyone in America wants’ to change something. Goulart assumes this and takes it one step further: he attacks the problem of what to change that something into. He recognizes that it is easier to remain on the same relatively straight path than to branch out or retreat, so he creates the character of Ben Jolson. Jolson is constantly forced to change his physical appearance and alternates between trees and television sets, humans and birds. But he hates changing. He has the power to change into anything he wants, and in typical science fiction humor, he points out a fallacy in the American dream of becoming something: what? Ron Goulart is a celebrated satirist in the science fiction field. On the whole, this seems to be a forced role in which he takes little pleasure, for he has produced relatively few works. His novels number less than a dozen, which is only a grain of sand when you view it against the 150 and more books of Isaac Asimov or the prolific libraries of Edgar Rice Burroughs and Robert A. Heinlein. In such a desert, Goulart is tost. But he has thrown out a variety of works, such as The Sword Swallower, The Fire Eater, and A Talent For the Invisible. Sometimes his talent is invisible, but not in The Chameleon Corps. All of the Corps stories have appeared in The Magazine of Fantasy and Science Fiction. There are six stories also in the book entitled "And Other Shape Changers" which come out of the dusty pages of If and Galaxy. The combination of the two halves makes a most unique view of the psychology of change and identification, and Goulart is aware of all the symbolism he has mustered. He doesn't play upon hidden meanings in the stories themselves, but his introduction shows a great deal of literary introspection the introduction the most valuable part of the entire book. To prove the point, he splatters the first page with quotes from Erik Erikson and proves that they are actually intelligent, despite the opinion of college psychology courses. Happy Days (Oh, There are smiles) Kojak (Shiny) so used to the technique of truly living her parts that she finds she cannot live without them. One unusual story is about a little girl who lost her teddy bear in a forest. When she returns to look for it, she finds a creature that is an exact duplicate of the teddy bear toy, only it is bigger and much more alive. She makes the creature her pet and finds that it can change into anything it sees. Upon becoming engaged, she decides that she can no longer take care of her pet and tells him that she must leave. The animal is heartbroken, goes away and returns in the shape of a man. This does not change her mind, however, for she soon realizes that her pet is incapable of any thoughts other than those it has witnessed in the speech of writing of humans. One of the weirdest tales Goulart spins is that of a hopeful lover Who turns into an elephant on national holidays, which immediately shows where his political support is. Goulart's support, however, is shaky, for he represents the world state as corrupt to the highest degree. Goulart doesn't see the world any differently than most people do, except that he What can you say about a bald detective who sucks on lollipops? Plenty, if he happens to be a N.Y.C. copy named Theo Kojak. After the forceful performance Telly Savalas gave in the Emmy-winning T.V. movie, "The Mareus-Nelson Murders," producer Matthew Rapb and Writer Abby'Mann teamed upr-to create a.series focusing on Detective-lieutenant Theo Kojak. What makes this show different from the 15 or so other cop shows? Well for one thing, excellent scripts provide fast-moving and believable drama (but then, anything is plausible in N.Y.C.). Secondly, there is Kojak, or Telly Savalas take your pick. Savalas has that intrinsic quality to be able to characterize his role so well that it becomes hard to discern between the actor and his role. In the case of Kojak, his head is as herd as it is hairless; he is resolute to the point of obsession. He has one other shining quality that is very rare in the police sensitivity and a keen sense of. justice. His force these days philosophy is perhaps best summarized in a line from the T.V. movie "Where there is no justice, there is violence." Kojak adeptly uses his head and very rarely his gun to attain this end. Jerry Esposito — — — — BUFFALO PHILHARMONIC TONIGHT!!

I 11 Ml HIM II —i �Hockey Bulls hit with suspensions byDaveGcringer Sporti Editor Three member* of the hockey Bulls were suspended earlier this week by Central Collegiate Hockey Association tCCHA) Commissioner Fred Jacoby. The suspension affects only CCHA contests and will not affect the participation of John Stranges, Mark Sylvester and Mike Perry in this weekend’s crucial Division II series at American International and New Haven. According to Jacoby’s ruling, the three Bulls must ait out their one-game suspensions against Western Michigan when the Bulls host the BronCos March 1. The Bull trio was suspended after receiving match misconducts in* the January 12 , contest at Western Michigan, won by the Broncos 7-5. “It involved the captain, John Stranges, striking an official; and two other players, Sylvester and Perry, receiving match misconducts for abusive language,” explained Jacoby. “This is a CCHA rule any player who uses abusive or obscene language is subject to a match penalty. Any player receiving a match misconduct is subject to suspension for a game,” Jacoby added. — Mitigating circumstances Jacoby reported that Stranges’ enforced leave was not as lengthy as the maximum provided by CCHA rules. ‘That’s covered under another rule,” remarked Jacoby. “Any player who makes intentional physical contact with an official is subject to suspension for the remainder of the season. However, captain Stranges was very apologetic and helped to control his teammates, so we felt there were mitigating circumstances,” Jacoby continued. Bull coach Ed Wright was disturbed after receiving word of Jacoby’s decision. “John Stranges, Mark Sylvester and Mike Perry were given misconducts plus game misconducts,” stated Wright. ‘The reasons for the game misconducts were not announced or given to me in a copy of the game statistics. John Stranges’ penalty does not appear in my copy of the game statistics. I interpreted their dismissals as a result of arguing with the referee’s decision.” ‘The officials {Saturday night) came out late,” continued Wright. ‘They checked with the scorer’s table, called over John Stranges and informed him “that Stranges, Sylvester and Perry” could not play because of the previous night’s disqualifications.” Wright unaware of charge “I was not aware of the charge of John Stranges striking an official until Saturday night,” reported Wright. ‘The incident was no more than John, in a gesture, pointing his finger at the official who knocked John’s hand away, possibly thinking it an attempted blow,” Wright added. The Bulls will take on a squad they-defeated earlier this season (AIC) and a squad they have never met (New Haven) tomorrow and Sunday. AIC, after starting the season with several impressive victories (against Merrimack and Bowdoin) has been in a slump and currently shows a Division II mark of 8-13-1. New Haven is 2-8 after dropping a close (6-4) decision to Salem State, a probable high seed in the Division II playoffs. Buffalo will face good goaltending this weekend in their bid to increase their Division II record to 5-0. The Yellowjackets will start Gary Newbert, the man with the golden mask, tomorrow night. Newbert stopped 34 of 38 shots in the Bulls’ 4-3 win over the Yellowjackets in the AIC invitational tournament December 29. Nothing goes right AIC coach Pete Esdale confirmed that his squad’s slump could not be linked to the play of goalies Newbert and Ray Belisle. ‘They’ve been holding up well,” noted Esdale. “We’ve had a lot of injuries, and we’ve had a couple of games where nothing went right. We hit the post a lot, and they [the opposition] capitalized on everything that we did,” said Esdale. The Yellowjackets have added defensemen Sam Quaranta and Tony Scaringi and forward Ken Woodkey this semester in a bid to improve their lot. Buffalo will shoot at New Haven goalie Buddy Heaney in Sunday’s game. “Heaney is a super goaltender, he hasn’t had that much in front of him,” commented New Haven DSI Bob Cornell. “Many a game we’ve been outshot 2-1 and won. A lot of coaches here think he can play Division I hockey,” Cornell added.

The results of his illness showed; he went scoreless in his 11 minutes of play against the taller Eagles. Layden counters strategy Niagara coach Frank Layden countered the Bulls strategy by rotating 6-8 centers Mike Hanley and Bruce Watson, with 6-6 Cleve Royster, familiar to Buffalo basketball followers after last year’s melee at Erie CC in the Eagles 79-77 win, at forward. The Eagles front line accounted for 49 points and 34 rebounds, outplaying the shorter Bulls line, which produced only 21 points and 16 rebounds. Buffalo was down by only eight at the half, 45-37, thanks to a 7-8 shooting performance by guard Ken Pope. The Bulls went cold in the second half, and Pope was affected along with the rest, failing to hit on seven attempts from the field and winding up with only 15 points, high for the Bulls. Niagara, led by freshman guard Chico Singleton’s 10-16 shooting and 23 points, won the game on their field goal percentage, shooting 57 percent against the Bulls 36. The Eagles enjoyed as much as a 24 point lead before the Bulls scored the final eight points to make the score respectable. “I’d rate them [Niagara] right up there with Syracuse and Pitt,” assessed Richardson. ‘They came out ready to play, and there was no way anybody was going to beat them tonight. They had just come off two tough losses, and they were ready to win one.” Layden felt quite differently about his team’s performance, however, keeping the Eagles in the locker room more than an hour after the contest had concluded. Bulls go west The varsity cagers travel west once again tomorrow, looking for their first road win in eleven attempts at Youngstown State. The Penguins have dropped their last two games, both on the road, to Akron and Mount Union, running their season log to 10-9. Youngstown’s leading scorer, forward Anthony Mitchell, is averaging 20 points per game, but scored only two points in the Penguins loss to Mount Union. YSU showed their depth in guard Terry Moore, who, along with Mitchell, is one of the many freshmen seeing action for the Penguins. Moore came off a 24-point performance in the JV preliminary game to score 28 points, hitting on fourteen of twenty field goal attempts. The Bulls can look for another tough contest unless their shooting eyes develop quickly.

Tenure Criticism aimed at new quota systems Editor's not The following is the first of a two-part series dealing with the issue of tenure. This segment traces the history of tenure and the recent upsurge in tenure quotas. by Renee Ryback Spectrum Staff Writer Having stood the test of time for more than half a century, the ' of tenure has recently been subjected to attacks from administrators, faculty and students. Much of this criticism has centered around the notion of “tenure quotas.” Any examination of this issue must begin by determining how and why the concept of tenure came into existence. Basically, tenure developed because American teachers have not been free to act either within the boundaries of their civil rights or professional responsibilites, according to Robert R. Sherman of the University of Florida, an American Federation of Teachers (AFT) representative. As society evolved from simple towns, to a more complex industrialized and/, technological community, tenure provided an incentive for attracting' more qualified individuals to teaching by promising job security in return for better training. This, in turn, created more stimulating environments in which to teach. The need for tenure then can be summed up in two words: academic freedom. concept Socrates says After the Civil War, the push for tenure steamed full speed ahead. ■*< From the 1870’s through the turn of |he century, a milieu of groups' spring up in support of tenure legislation. The founding of the American Association of University Professors (AAUP) in 1915 provided the necessary impetus to make tenure a reality.-As [tennis O Brien, Dean of Middlebury College, recently summarized: “It would seem that the authorities had finally seen the wisdom of Socratej’... . —continued on page two— �■ • r ■ - ■ . : I enure... __ —continued from page one— notion of providing free meals for life to society’s inner critics.” Rapidly expanding college enrollments through the 1960’s enhanced the need for increasing numbers of faculty, and the granting of tenure at most schools became almost automatic for those who had survived their probation years. In today’s academic marketplace, however, the supply of talented PhD’s far exceeds the demand. Because many of those tenured during the last decade were young fa’culty, some colleges face the problem o< having nearly half of their present faculties “locked in” until the end of the century. As a result, administrators are actively searching for alternatives to tenure to allow greater flexibility for growth. One highly controversial policy which has already been put into practice is the system called “tenure quotas. ’’ Tenure quotas October 29, 1973 marked a watershed in the history of tenure. On that day, the City University of New York (CUNY) became the university to numerically restrict the proportion of nation’s first tenured faculty. According to the new policy, once a majority of a department’s members have received tenure, “specific justification” is required for the granting of tenure to others. The new regulations would provide more flexibility by generating “a more rigorous scrutiny of academic and professional capabilities of each City Univerity faculty member by his peers and college president,” explained CUNY Chancellor Robert J. Kibbee. ‘This is not a quota system,” said one spokesperson for CUNY. “A quota of 50% implies that once the 50% mark is reached, no one else can be granted tenure. The possibility of tenure shall continue here,” she asserted. Exceeding the limits The majority limitation will be exceeded in cases where the loss of an individual’s services would be more damaging than making an exception, she explained. However, “there are no provisions for probation extensions” in cases where tenure is denied, the spokesperson maintained. Figures released by the Board of 'Higher Education reveal that 4060 of the City University’s 8698 tenure-eligible faculty members (about 47%) are already tenured. As might be expected, CUNY’s adoption of the new policy launched a fresh chapter of controversy regarding tenure, and more specifically, tenure quotas. -The Professional Staff Congress (PSC), bargaining agent for CUNY’s faculty and staff, vehemently opposes the new system, believing it would devastate “the morale of our present staff. our City University’s competitive position in recruitment . . . its national reputation, and the well-being of our students.” . ., Cheap labor policy “A tenure candidate’s merit would be subordinated to other considerations, such as the degree to which the candidate agrees with his or her supeiTOfT,”"5QTiinsea PSC President Belle Zeller. Another PSC spokesman maintained the plan should be viewed in economic terms as a “cheap labor policy,” intended to “replace experienced teachers with, who would start at minimum f Maraschino | , - Canteloupe , Maraschino Cantaloupe, an evening of student choreographic work, will be presented in Harriman Theater Studio on February 8,9 and 10 at 8:30 p.m. Admission for students is $.75, others $1.00.

The sit-in began after professional incompetence of moral turpitude,” he said. Federal District Court Judge John H. Bartels denied Equal standards i a petition by the workers to keep the brewery open “They should apply the same standards in all cases,” maintained for another week so that contract disputes could be Jordan E. Kurland, Associate General Secretary of the AAUP. He cited worked out. Later that same day Bartels reversed his inconsistencies in “a department of 10 where the candidacy for the decision and granted a stay to union locals 3 and 46 fifth tenured position is to rest primarily on peer judgement, while the that put off dosing at least until midnight, Sunday. candidacy for the sixth position is to require vigorous presidential support.” Committee A (on academic freedom) of AAUP has gone on record against tenure quotas: “Foreclosing promotion to a tenured position because of a numerical quota is unacceptable. Establishing fixed quotas may deprive the profession of a large part of a generation of scholars and teachers which currently populates the non-tenured positions at our colleges and universities.” The committee suggested a “long-term approach” whereby a graduate decrease in tenured faculty would result from a natural attribition. Further alternatives to tenure have been proposed or implemented at various institutions. Even the AAUP has acknowledged that tenure is not the sole means of guaranteeing academic freedom and job security.

PepsiCo, which recently bought the Rhektgold operation, contends the brewery lost 9 million dollars in 1973 and it would lose an estimated 15 million dollars in 1974 if the brewery remains open. Approximately 1500 workers will lose their jobs if the plant is shut down. The brewery produced 12,000 31-gallon barrels of beer a day. No additional Rheingold could be shipped into the metropolitan area from Rheingold plants outside the city due to contracts between the New York City Union and other unions that work outside the City. One settlement that has been proposed so far, is that Pepsico agree to pay employees a total of two million dollars in back pay.

The board consists of five members: facult y advisor Paul Dowling, publications director Pat Donion, Buffalo Evening News managing editor Glwood Wardlow, Mr. Davis, and student government president Jim McLain. The duties of the publication board, as defined in the Canisius studept handbook, are: (1) to interpret College policy in reference to student pulications;(2).tohear complaints and arbitrate disputes that may arise between student publications and individuals or groups within the College community, and to take whatever remedial action it may judge necessary; and (3) to censure, when necessary, and even to remove a staff member or student editor should sufficiently serious cause warrant such action. \lt>Tit V VI If / ±11 VVVI it Burt?

Dr. Langan, said Mr. Davis, has .already told him that he wants him “O-U-T, out.” He added that, the; -administration controls three of the five votes on the publication board; Dr. Dowling, Mr. Donlon and Mr. Wardlow. He also said that the only contact he has had with Canisius officials was one phone call and one memorandum to set up the meeting. Mr. Wardlow was appointed to the publications board a year and a half ago, and he explained that the board has conducted “no business” since that point. ‘The real issue,” managing editor Ebert said, “involves the right to print. Just because we go to a Jesuit school, we aren’t allowed to print certain things.” Librariesfacing problems by Phil Samuels Spectrum Staff Writer The management of the University’s libraries is thf %ystejn’.s defects in hopes of prawning nfcra etf£j*i«nf tts patrons. “There are two main problems aside from money;’<• explained,,- MiUicenl D>m Abell,, associate director- of, Libraries. First, the University libraries are spread out over the Ridge Lea, .Amherst and Elm-Bell campuses, as well as the four corners of the Main Street campus. This lack of centralization, which Ms. Abell termed “the dispersal of clientele," presents a great inconvenience to students and faculty. Lack of space is also an overriding concern; “We’re crowded everywhere, except the Law Library," Ms. Abell said. presently tackling * New homes The North Campus will provide solutions to both problems. Three new libraries will be situated there in tjie pear future; the Central Library, the Joint Library and the Law Library (which is already operating). All the present libraries will be in the center of the action,” said John Vasi, assistant to the director of Libraries for Facilities Planning. “The distance between libraries is only a few minutes walk,” he added. Additionally, the new libraries will provide plenty of shelf and study space. For two years, funds for the Central Library on the North Campus have been denied. According to a recent issue of Library News, however, Gov. Wilson recommended an million immediate $20 appropriation by the State Legislature, so that work can begin in the spring on the construction of the Central Library.” If this request is approved, actual construction will begin, with completion expected in 1977 Hours criticized Library hours have long been the target of much criticism. “People will complain as long as there is anything short of 24 hours,” Ms. Abell said. According to Yoram Szekely, head of the Undergraduate Library (UGL), beginning February 19, the UGL, located in Diefendorf Annex, will remain open 20 hours a day (maintenance insists on a four-hour closing), 7 days a week, from 7 a.m. to 3 a.m Mr. Szekely emphasized that this schedule is on a ‘"trial basis” until March 31. There will then be a review of library use during the late hours, and a decision will be made as to whether or not to continue this schedule. Ms. Abell said the present schedule for the libraries was based on past use. A copy of the composite schedule for the libraries is available at the circulation desk of all the libraries, she added.-. tyhat should yojr ;do about your complaints > about "the libraries? There are many alternatives. If - - *,* the complaint deals with a specific branch, see the person in charge of that branch. If you are not satisfied, contact the central administration at Lockwood Library. Ms. Abell, available at 83 1-4205, is "gager apd anxious to hear students' comments.” * . * \ * r. , . * Student feedback Another alternative is the Library Feedback •> Booth at Lockwood. All complaints and questions are considered and answered. Ms. Abell said the idea for a 20-hour day at UGL sprang from students' comments at this booth. One student wrote. "Why do you send periodicals out to be bound without keeping a set of duplicates in the library? Binding takes months!" The reply stated: "Last year, Lockwood alone spent $87,918 on periodicals. We can’t keep up with inflating subscription prices, let alone duplicates. It normally takes no more than 4-6 weeks for binding and we attempt to send materials during low-use periods (e.g., intercession). To leave them unbound might make students happy this year, but not next.” In reference to the total number of volumes, Ms. Abell said the University has “far and away more volumes than any of the other State University Centers.” She added: “But we have to, because we have many more people.” However, statistics show that the University spends less per full-time equivalent student (for library materials) than any of the other centers. “We are not as well off” as the other State University Centers and many other state-funded universities across the country, Ms. Abell conceded. Visible changes William Allen, professor of History and an outspoken critic of the libraries in the past, has changed his opinions radically. “They [the libraries] have overcome most management problems,” he noted, adding that he was “profoundly pleased” with the progress, “I’m convinced if we give them the tools they’ll do the job,” said Dr. money Allen. “Management shows both a high degree of understanding of students’ needs, and a willingness to deal with them.” When asked his opinion of the - - proposed increase of UGL hours. Dr, Allen said; “Most students are night owls anyway, and don’t need any sleep.” His major concern is finance, and he hopes this problem will also be overcome. Most students interviewed did not criticize the libraries. One student said of the UGL: “This one’s about the best.” Another said: ‘This is a great place to catch up on my studies.” Lockwood Library was criticized for both its lack of space and not enough studying hours. ‘The libraries have improved dramatically,” said Dr; Allen. “But we have a long way to go before we’re a first-rate university library.”Then he added: “But, we’re on our way.” —Barouch STUDY IN GUADALAJARA.

The alarming number of accidents involving school children in every The emergency adoption of Daylight Savings Time (DST) for the winter months may soon be abandoned in failure. Many of those who supported foiling back the clocks in December are now having serious second thoughts. Energy surveys indicate that the amount of electricity and fuel oil saved since Daylight Savings began has been nowhere near the level expected. This disappointment over fuel savings is compounded by the growing realization that school children travelling to school in the now-dark pre-dawn hours arc a traffic hazard. No complete set of statistics has yet been compiled, but increasingly widespread reports of traffic accidents involving students waiting for buses in the dark indicate that pre-dawn school schedules have placed children in danger. The pre-dawn deaths of seven schoolchildren in central Florida in the last two months prompted local legislators to place that part of the state on Central Standard time. This meant setting the clock back one hour and negating the hour lost to Daylight Savings Time. Too dark to walk Across the country, many parents have begun driving their children to class, rather than having them wait for buses along busy highways in the dark. Two young students in Michigan recently wrote their Congressman: “Our parents have to drive us to school because it is too dark for us to walk or ride our bikes. That wastes gasoline. We have to turn on more lights in the morning to get ready for work or school and that uses more electricity than normal.” Supporters of the Daylight Savings proposal passed by Congress last December had hoped it would result in a considerable decrease in the nation’s energy consumption. Some estimated that as much as 150,000 barrels of oil a day might be saved. It was this promise of substantial fuel savings which prompted Congress to quickly act on the measure and ultimately pass the bill which put DST into effect during the winter for the first time since the Second World War.

The Erie and Niagara County Board of Supervisors met early in January to discuss the problem. They decided to leave the decision to local officials, believing them to be in a better position to determine the needs of their communities. But although local principals have had the power to take action on adjusting the school day for over a month, only two of them have expressed any interest in taking action. Public School 72 in downtown Buffalo moved the starting time of its first session back an hour from 7:30 to 8:30 a.m. The quick action was taken because of the school’s split session. If the schedule had not been altered, students would have been travelling to school an hour-and-a-half before dawn. Genessee-Humboldt Junior High, also an inner city school, adopted a resolution to move the first class back 20 minutes to compensate for DST. The 20-minute adjustment was expanded to 45 minutes by the Central School Board and subsequently rejected by the representatives from Genessee-Humboldt. The situation there is not as crucial as in other places, because many students walk to school and all are junior high school age. As of now, none of the other school boards, principals, or parent associations in Erie County have taken action.

The most effective response to the problem has been the distribution of reflective safety tape to schools by local savings banks. The lack of pressure from local groups has not carried over to statewide and national organizations. The executive committee of the New York State Parents and Teachers Association sent a letter to President Nixon to cancel Daylight Savings Time for the winter months “when it means children will go to school in the dark.” Senate Majority Leader Mike Mansfield (D., Montana) introduced a bill in the Senate last week calling for the suspension of DST pending further study of the benefits and drawbacks of the measure. Officials suspect the energy saved is nowhere near expected and fear that the number of highway fatalities will far outweigh any fuel-saving advantages. A growing number of Senators are reportedly now in favor of repealing Daylight Savings, which they feel was hastily enacted by Congress in December when the full extent of the energy crisis was unknown. Illegal Unauthorized use of phones uncovered by billing error by Marty Markowitz Spectrum Staff Writer What began as a humorous error involving Ma Bell, the U.S. Post Office, State University of Buffalo Law School, and two Amherst students has raised questions relating to the waste and misuse of funds for telephone expenses. Last week, two students received a $9,772 telephone bill belonging to John Lord O'Brien Hall. However, the actual charges incurred by O’Brien Hall telephones for the billing period between December 15, 1973 and January 15, 1974 came to fexactly $4,867.80. The remainder was the amount that “should be disregarded if already paid.” The bill received frorq the telephone company was divided into sub-totaled bills for each phone number in O’Brien Hall. A close examination of these bills revealed some interesting statistics. Private calls Four telegrams were charged to the private number of one law professor, for a total of $96.25. Other bills were as high as $65, with calls to such places as Pompano Beach, Florida on December 26 and Aspen, Colorado on December 31. Both places are known as vacation spots and both calls were made during the winter vacation. The total bill for long distance calls and telegrams, and overhead expenses was $932.08. Overhead expenses include the tie line, a communications link within the state of New York. By dialing a certain series of numbers, one can call anywhere in the- state without charge. This supposedly is a means of saving money since the University feels a large amount of intrastate calls are required for faculty and staff to function. In O’Brien Hall the tie line is not being used consistently. Thirty-one per cent of the amount charged for long distance calls could have been saved if the tie line had been used. A system exists within the Law School that allows professors to declare and later pay for personal phone calls or those essential to their position as a faculty member, according to Audrey Koscielniak, Law School office manager. There are members of the faculty who do not give a complete evaluation of their calls and neglect to reimburse the Law School, she conceded. Tie line tied When asked about the tie line, almost every member of the Law School staff gave the same response: “It’s difficult to get through with the tie line.” A memorandum dated September 15, 1973 to all Provosts, Deans, Directors and Department Chairmen at the North Campus from Michael Day, Assistant Accountant of the Chief- Accountants Office, stated: “Effective immediately and until further notice, all tie line calls from the North Campus should be placed by the University operator. You should be able to return to direct dialing within a week or two weeks, but we will keep you informed.” At the present time, tie line calls from the North Campus can still be placed by the campus operator. Although there can be a delay of up to 15 minutes, the tie line is operable and can be used. Similar problems are faced by such campus groups as the Community Action Corps and The Spectrum. Both offices have tie line phones, yet unauthorized intrastate calls appear on their phone bills because impatient callers dial directly instead of using the tie line.

Thus, newspaper is actually the newspaper being staffed by students. The Administration of Canisius College has suspended publication of the student newspaper. The Griffin, for printing a centerfold nude drawing of the college president, the Very Reverend James M. Demske. As publisher, the Administration was within its legal rights. But some hard questions are in order. One, why was the publication suspended if the subject of the drawing. Father Demske, commented that "humor is something we alt need" and that those offended should "grin and bear it' ? He obviously isn't suing anybody, so legal responsibility is not in question, only good or poor taste. Second, considering the Reverend's good-natured reaction, was The Griffin suspended because of the centerfold, or because, of other editorial content viewed with disfavor by the Administration? The controversial issue also contained a front-page cartoon satirizing a tuition hike passed while students were on vacation., and an editorial demanding academic assistance for black Canisius stduents to help them compete with "a better prepared white student." If the centerfold was just an excuse to remove student editors who dared to criticize the college Administration, then Canisius officials don't really want a student newspaper, but a strait-jacketed. Administration-controlled house organ. Finally, if the matter is to be decided at a hearing of the Canisius publications board, why was publication of The Griffin suspended before that body (which hasn't met in 114 years) reached a decision? Isn't that a violation of due process and an automatic presumption of guilt? Or was the Administration afraid of more unflattering editorials? People who don't blink an eye at genocide in Indochina, starvation around the world or racism and repression at home seem to get instantly outraged when someone pokes fun at religion. Tolerance, even of someone who makes fun.of your beliefs, is a basic religious principle. Canisius officials will be showing precious little tolerance if they remove the student editors for an offense which exceeded the bounds of their good taste. Darkest before the dawn As doomsday predictions about the energy crisis proliferated in Decembe'r, Congress rushed to enact what seemed a simple and painless way of saving fuel: Daylight Savings Time. Hard facts about the energy squeeze are still in short supply, but one thing has become clear; the fuel saved by turning back the clocks has been marginal far less than expected but the pitch-black mornings created by the time-change are endangering the safety of the nation's schoolchildren. Every morning, young children are either walking to school or waiting for a bus in the dark. The traffic hazard created by unlit mornings is now quite clear. Seven children have died in Florida in traffic accidents since Daylight Savings began; accidents have become more frequent all across the country as well as in Erie County. The county school board here is allowing each school to deal with the situation as it sees fit; the obvious remedy would be to push back school schedules so the first class begins after sunrise. But with a few isolated exceptions, most schools have either ignored the problem or cited the administrative difficulties in ordering a schedule change. Such bureaucratic obstinenceJs hard to fathom when the safety of children is at stake. How can administrative considerations outweigh child safety? Must we wait until some child is run over by a bus in the predawn darkness before there is a public outcry for action? The argument that dark mornings will end in another month or so is a mere excuse: Daylight Savings was legislated to run through Spring 1975, so the problem will still be with us next winter. Because of the growing number of predawn traffic accjdents and the only marginal fuel savings, more and more Senators are leaning toward repealing Daylight Savings. But our local schools should not wait for the sluggish Senate to protect its children. Pushing back school schedules one hour, even if just for the rest of the winter, is the only sane decision. If just one child's life is saved by letting the sun light his way to school, it will be worth it. — — Page six The Spectrum Wednesday, 6 February 1974 . .

Because of the inadequate job food service performed last semester, students chose not to remain on board this semester. IRC supported this, at least until the service improved, by circulating memos telling students to write “Negotiate” on their board contracts. As of yet, there has been no significant improvement in the service here and yet students are being forced back to the board contract by the terribly inadequate cooking facilities here. When I signed my housing contract during the summer, it was stated that there were cooking facilities in the dornis.

As you know, the relatively recent severing of the connection between sexual expression and pregnancy has created the potential of greater freedom and richer lives for many, especially for women. Still many lives include tragic events directly traceable to lack of knowledge or lack of availability of contraceptive devices. How many potential philosophers are now at home taking care of children who were never wanted? How many children are without the love and care that they need to become creative adults simply because they have more brothers and sisters than their parents wanted or could reasonably be responsible for? On the occasion of the 1974 Campus Planned Parenthood Campaign, 1 would like to suggest two actions which each of you can easily do. First, you could make yourself aware of the range of services available from Planned Parenthood ao that you can become a source of information. For example, did - you know that Planned Parenthood gives advice on vasectomies and tubal ligations? Second, you could make a contribution, no matter how small, to the vital humanitarian work of this organization. By the way, there is recent scientific evidence that "intelligence” is inversely related to family size. In particular, the average “intelligence” of persons from families of a given size is greaterthan that of persons from larger families. Moreover, within a given family size, the older children are on the average more “intelligent” than the younger. These results are based on a samply of 400.000 than the younger.

John Corcoran �ing In Outside by Clem Colucd Editor’s note: Vast and tapid'changes in society and human relations in the last several years have taken their toll on countless institutions Especially outdated in this age of counterculture and its proliferating liberation movements is that system of amenities we call etiquette. Amy Vanderbilt and Emily Post are out of date and those who would be well-mannered must turn elsewhere for guidance. What follows are excerpts from my forthcoming book on etiquette for the new age. These excerpts deal with the problems caused by changes in relations between the sexes. Men, Women and Others Without doubt, the thorniest problem for those who would be well-mannered is the women’s liberation movement. The nub of the difficulty is not that the movement has started but that it has not finished. Before the movement started, tradition was well established and problems were few. After the movement has succeeded and passed into history, new systems of etiquette people opening their own doors, lighting their own cigarettes, etc. will take care of any questions. But for us, caught as we are in the middle of the revolution, matters are in a state of flux. No one can be sure who is liberated and who is not and vary one’s manners accordingly. The problem is most severe with casual acquaintances. A man who knows a woman well knows if she prefers to open her own doors, but what does one do with a casual acquaintance? The goal of etiquette then, is to prevent embarassment in this ambiguous age a goal not noble, perhaps, but necessary. - - ■ — Not our fault To the Editor. In his letter of February 4, Danny Rosenfeld complained of the high cost of campaigning fprS.A. office. Ill particular, he mentioned that he was “dismayed” to leam the prices that University Press charges for publicity work. Nobody .ismore dismayed abopt t,be high costs df puijfcity, «•*».' aim to provide the .best possible work at the lowest possible costs. But in this age of inflation our costs, too are rising. Paper costs have skyrocketed over the past year and continue to, with no relief in sight. In some cases our staff members are working for one-half the salary they could get “on the outside.” Yes, prices are high. But unpleasant as that fact is, it seems to be an unavoidable one. We believe that an equitable way must be found to help all candidates meet the costs of bringing their ideas and goals before the general student body. Regardless of how the issue of campaign financing is resolved, University Press will continue trying to hold the line on prices, while insuring the production of work consistent with our standards of quality. ‘ Mary E. Warner Buildings: All persons, of any sex, when entering or leaving a building, should briefly hold the door for the person behind, whether man or woman. A man should tarry somewhat longer if the person behind him is a woman, but neither long enough to expose himself to the charge of being a sexist pig if the .woman is liberated, nor briefly enough to expose oneself to the charge of being an ill-mannered boor if the woman is not liberated. A woman who wishes to may hold the door as long as she desires for anyone of any sex. v. CareuSince one cannot unobtrusively open a car door for another, this presents more of i problem. A liberated Woman would' be wise to relieve the befuddled gentleman’s anxiety by getting to the door first and opening it herself. As this is not always practicable, it would be advisable for the gentleman always to lock the doors (a prudent practice in this crime-ridden society). He may then either enter the car from his side and unlock the passenger’s door or unlock the passenger door from the outside, -after which no one can object to his opening it. A dear friend of mine who makes her living dancing on stage while wearing as litTle clothing as the New York State Penal Code allows once complained to me about “how guys stopped talking to you and started talking to your tits.” Whether a woman chores to gob raless is a matter of comfort and discretion. It does, however, create a problem that was well, if earthily, stated above. There are, of course, the terminally uncouth who will always stare and drool at any revealed portion of a woman’s body. But many men who mean well enough will unthinkingly focus th«r gaze about a foot lower than they ought to. It is bad manners to correct another’s bad manners without extreme provocation, so unless it is obvious that the man in question is staring at the woman’s chest because he’s an ill-mannered chauvinist pig, the well-mannered woman would do well to avoid remarks like: “I have a face too, you know.” Keeping in mind that it takes time for people to get used to these things, the well-mannered woman should avoid letting the man'know she knows what he’s looking at while alerting him to what he is doing. Such devices as squirting flowers can be highly effective. Miscellaneous 1. The age-old controversy over who walks where on the streets can now be ended.Some used to say that the man should walk on the outside to protect the woman from getting splashed by cars. Others argued that the man should walk on the inside a. custom dating from the days when people threw garbage out of the window. In this half-liberated age, the simple solution is to ignore the question entirely and walk as you please. 2. Lighting cigarettes: Here one must take a stand on principle despite the objections of feminists. Anyone who looks will find that men light other men’s cigarettes all the time, so it is entirely proper for a man to light a woman’s cigarette. Women’s liberationists who wish to make a point should not start a political discussion but simply light the man’s cigarette at the first opportunity and without comment. 3. Sex: In an age of sexual liberation one is free to indulge in sexual intercourse with anyone who consents. For the man this simply makes things easier (men being the beasts they are). For the women this eliminates the obligation to refuse someone’s advances if she finds him attractive. On - — thfe other’KaSid, thertf is no obligation tb-fomicate, either, so the woman may refuse as she wishes. If the man and woman are merely casual acquaintances, explanation of the refusal is necessary unless the woman chooses. It is also bad manners to make a detailed and moralistic explanation. Above all, avoid explanations like: “I’m saving myself for my husband. The most precious thing I can give him is my virginity.” Anyone who seriously believes that is probably right.

The possibility that the rink will ever be built has become more remote. “We didn’t recommend it,” said Associate Dean Martin McIntyre in explaining the decision. “However, it is quite possible that eventually we will have a rink.” Dr. McIntyre cited cost as one factor in the decision. “A rink is terribly expensive,” stated Dr. McIntyre. “It occupies an awful lot of space, and we were told that our phase two [the entire gymnasium facility which would have included the rink] had to come within 143,298 square feet [the approximate area of the rink], you have to _ Rink a profit-maker? Dr. McIntyre also indicated that a rink might not be economically successful. “You assume that it’s a real profit-maker. That depends on how much hockey practice, intramurals and recreation would take out of it. Any rental fees accrued would not go into the athletic department till. It goes into a general hind for receipts,” added McIntyre. Dr. McIntyre felt a less expensive building could be constructed. “When you put it [the rink] into an area with bricks and stone, it is much more expensive,” said McIntyre. “It stands to reason that an Lackluster swimming signals Bulls’ defeat Spectrum Staff Writer In a match that saw the Clark Gym pool quieter than Lockwood the Cortland Red Library, Dragons defeated the swimming Bulls 61-52 on Saturday, Both teams performed .with similar blandness as Cortland coasted to their second victory, while the Bulls dropped to 1-6.

The two relays in a meet are very important because the winner is awarded the maximum Additional rinks? Dr. McIntyre explored the fact that other -SUMY schools (Geneseo and Cortland) had built campus rinks without a hockey program [Cortland has instituted a program]. “I think that, being a university center, we should have more than one ice rink,” stated Dr. McIntyre. “I want to build a competitive rink, an instructional rink and a curling area. Those schools [Cortland and Geneseo] don’t serve a projected student population of 40,000 and their community doesn’t have a population the size of ours. The facility at Geneseo wouldn’t suit our needs, while Cortland has a student population of eight to ten thousand and a community of 12 to 15,000. Also, their rink was started long ago when money wasn’t as tight. We are now in the tight money episode,” added McIntyre. Dr. McIntyre also discussed the difference in the programs. “We have a program that other schools don’t have,” stated Dr. McIntyre. “We are the only state Wright displeased Bull coach Ed Wright was far from pleased with the decision to eliminate the rink from the building that would house facilities for wrestling, fencing and gymnastics and several swimming pools, among other items. ‘The fact that it [the rink] is being eliminated now is indicative of the department’s feeling on the priority of the hockey program,” commented Wright. ‘The fact that the student government is being asked to foot the bill for facilities rental where the state was going to foot the bill in building the rink indicates a wide diversity of opinion. There should be some student input. I can fully understand the necessity of the rest of the facility, but it appears that the building has frills. If the hockey program needs any impetus, it needs it now with tuition waivers gone. What is planned is needed, and what was eliminated is also needed.

The' problem for Buffalo in the medley has been the butterfly, where the Bulls have had constant problems. Against Cortland, butterflier Bob Kane was easily the best in the medley, i One of the Bulls strong events has been the breaststroke.

The Bulls next home meet will be Friday night, when Buffalo hosts Albany. Bulls defeat Hobart easily by David J. Rubin Spectrum Staff Writer The fencing Bulls made it seven wins in a row as they beat Hobart for the second time this season 18- on Saturday. Buffalo had beaten the Statesmen 19- in the first meeting on January 16 in Buffalo. The Bulls’ record now stands at 7-l and Buffalo is reaching its peak while heading into the difficult part of the schedule. Although Buffalo won handily and fenced fairly well, there were no truly outstanding performances, Co-captains Steve Munz and Howie Forman, who swept three bouts each in the first match, won two matches before being benched in favor of less experienced fencers. Hobart’s Bill Goldberg swept 9ab#e..boutfc-Geidh«tg..Mr.g9aW*? earlier meeting. The most surprising performance came from Bulls’’ftpshman Kevin Crane. On January. 24,. he made his first varsity performance at Brock, where he tallied a 3-1 record. Saturday, he scored two solid wins on foil as he was touched only’three times. The scoring of the bout was virtually the same as it had been in the first match against the Statesmen. The foil team lost only once as Terry Reisine was the victim again. Epee won six and lost three for the second time as Marty Schiffs nine bout winning streak was stopped. Pluffe notorious Sabre dropped from 5-4 to 4-5 due in part to directing of Arthur Pluffe. Pluffe made many questionable calls, particularly in sabre, yet the Bulls agreed afterwards that he has mellowed a bit since * a8t y ear Once again, Hobart did not particularly scare the Bull squad.

CAREERS IN ENGINEERING The Role of Chemical Engineers in Meeting the Challenges of the Future The rapid growth of technology, which has vastly improved the quality of life of a significant fraction of the world's population, has also brought mankind to a confrontation with many problems of immense proportions and crucial importance. We have come to realize that our world is finite. Our reserves of oil and natural gas are decreasing each year. The wastes from our industrial society remain with us, polluting our air & water. The evergrowing world population requires more and more food, and the pressures of living in closely populated areas take their toll on our health. These are problems which cannot be escaped; they must be solved.

Wednesday, 6 February 1974 The Spectrum Page nine . . �Pictures talk. Some little boys don’t. Some inner-city ghettos have special schools. For little boys who don’t talk. Not mute little boys. But children so withdrawn, so afraid of failure, they cannot make the slightest attempt to do anything at which they might fail. Some don’t talk. Some don’t listen. Most don’t behave. And all of them don’t learn. One day someone asked us to help. Through Kodak, cameras and film were distributed to teachers. The teachers gave the cameras to the kids and told them to take pictures. And then the miracle. Little boys who had never said anything, looked at the pictures and began to talk. They said “This is my house.” “This is my dog.” “This is where I like *c> to hide.” They began to explain, to describe, to communicate. And once the channels of communication had been opened, they began to learn. We’re helping the children of the inner-city. And we’re also helping the adults. We’re involved in inner-city job programs. To train unskilled people in useful jobs. What does Kodak stand to gain from this? Well, we’re showing how our products can help a teacher—and maybe creating a whole new market. And we’re also cultivating young customers who will someday buy their own cameras and film. But more than that, we’re cultivating alert, educated citizens. Who will someday be responsible for our society. After all, our business depends on our society. So we care what happens to it.

Scientists, however, are now conducting experiments which are bringing this dream closer to reality, and hold profound implications for the future of genetic research. Three German geneticists have been able to separate the two chromosomes in sperm which are responsible for determining the sex of the fetus. Whereas women only produce the female-producing, or X chromosome, male sperm contains chromosomes for both sexes: the X chromosome and the Y chromosome, which is necessary for the birth of a male. The scientists suspended the sperm in analbumin solution and those sperm cells containing Y chromosomes settled to the bottom of the solution. The concentration of these cells was 85% pure. Therefore, when one of these sperm cells is joined with the female ovum, there is an 85% chance of producing a male. Fewer faculty are f WM J 0 Artificial insemination necessary This means of predetermining the sex of an unborn child is still in its early stages, and pregnancy must be induced by artificial insemination to guarantee specific results. But such a discovery, as well as other research being conducted in the field of human genetics, has raised serious ethical and moral 11 wm w —* by Gary Cohn Campus Editor Why isn’t there significant faculty involvement in the Colleges? Since its inception, the Colleges have offered courses taught by community lecturers, graduate students, undergraduates and a rapidly diminishing number of faculty members. Various explanations have -been offered for the relatively small number of faculty teaching in the Colleges. They range from a lack of rewards for faculty to the fear of losing tenure to the questions of legitimacy in the Colleges. Substantial faculty involvement in the Colleges is a top priority cited in the recently-released Colleges Committee report. The report calls for a sweeping revision of the existing Collegiate system. “It is to be the norm that regular University faculty will actively participate in each College program,” the Colleges Committee report stated. To promote faculty involvement, the report called for “funds to compensate these faculty by purchasing released time from their departmental responsibilities” and “other forms of compensation,” which may include merit raises and recognition for Collegiate involvement. Traditional reward structures Currently, faculty teaching in the Colleges are not paid for their work nor released from teaching any of their regular departmental courses. “The Colleges are not tied into the traditional reward structure of the University,” explained Beverly Paigan, chairperson of the Colleges’ internal Program Evaluation Committee. Additionally, Ms. Paigan said that untenured faculty teaching in the Colleges may be jeopardizing their chance for tenure or reappointment. “At least two departments have told their faculty members not to teach in the Colleges,” she maintained. Jonathan Reichert, chairman of the Faculty-Senate Colleges Committee, agreed with Ms. Paigan that the lack of tangible rewards, overload of teaching responsibilities and fear of tenure difficulties were the primary factors inhibiting faculty participation in the Colleges. “High degree of nonsense” However, Dr. Reichert added that there was “no hard evidence” that any faculty member had been denied tenure because of involvement with the Colleges. George Hochfield, chairman-elect of the Faculty-Senate, disputed the assertion that a lack of tangible rewards was the primary force keeping faculty out of the Colleges. “The faculty don’t want to be involved in the proliferation of amateur course offerings,” Dr. Hochfield said. The “high degree of nonsense” and “built-in bias” against anyone with credentials keep many faculty out of the College system, Dr. Hochfield explained. Comparing the situation to Gresham’s Law, Dr. Hochfield said that “bad courses and incompentent teachers have driven out the faculty.” Authentic qualifications However, he said that once the present system is out of the way and “strong and viable” Colleges have been created, many faculty will want to be active in the Colleges. He added that College courses should be taught predominantly by University faculty and a “very few” individuals without “authentic” qualifications. The requirement for non-credentialed instructors, he said, “should be stringent.” Dr. Hochfield also said that released time and academic rewards for —continued on page 2 — questions concerning its application.

Although some fear the misuse of such techniques by certain political forces, Dr. Meisler thinks “there are easier means to control behavior than to attempt to restructure the genetic makeup of an entire society. Psychological control is much more realistic because the human brain’s centers for various feelings have been fairly well mapped out. By planting tiny electrodes within the brain,” she continucd,“certain behavior patterns can be reinforced and others sublimated. If control is the desired effect, it would be more easily achieved in the stimulation and sublimation of parts of the brain.” Biological deformhiess Dr. Meisler believes that much of the work being done today in genetics must be considered from a standpoint, including moral the process of amniocentesis, which involves the injection of a fine needle into the amnionic fluid of the womb where a fetus is developing. When the gene sample taken in amniocentesis is examined, it is possible to determine the sex of the fetus, and whether the baby will have any gross biological deformities., This process is only used when the possibility of deformity is already known. ui nature take its course, he feels. However, “the power inherent in Hie ability to determine sex could be extremely dangerous in the wrong hands,” he cautioned. Using what he conceded was “an extreme of the results of sex extrapolation predetermination,” Dr. Ettinger said, “unethical political forces could use sex predetermination to build a nation of strong, dumb men and beautiful women” through inbreeding and control, and “this society would be controlled by an intellectual elite. Random selection which results in a genetically heterogeneous society must be retained.” Serious social ramifications “A massive use of sex predetermination would have serious social ramifications,” said Miriam H.

Abuse of information “The process of charting several genes of the unborn child could be severely abused,”Dr. Meisler fears.

Most College members and Dr. Reichert disagree with Dr. Hochfield’s belief that a “lack of credibility” has been the single biggest factor keeping faculty out of the Colleges. Conflicting ideologies For instance, Roger Cook, author of the Minority statement to the Colleges Committee report, believes that the lack of rewards and released time from departments have prevented faculty involvement. Mr. Cook, representing Social Sciences Colleges, also explained that his College takes an “alternative theoretical position” from faculty in the social sciences departments (Psychology, Sociology, Anthropology, etc.) and thus it is difficult to find faculty interested in teaching Social Science College courses. He added that faculty with Socialist, radical or Marxist theories are not encouraged at this University. Economics professors “Three faculty critical to our program” Raymond Boddie and James Crotty and History professor Thomas were either denied tenure or not reappointed, Mr. Cook Rainey noted. Dr. Rainey, said Mr. Cook, claimed that one of the reasons he was denied tenure was because doubts about his sserriousness as a — WBFO presents a weekly poetry program entitled The Ten O’Clock Muse every Tuesday night at 10 p.m. in Room 327 Norton Hall.

His poems have been published in Rapport, Red Buffalo and Ethos. Changes sought by IRC as dissatisfaction increases scholar arose from his involvement with the Colleges. Music lessons for all Communications College coordinator Claire Loprese expressed her belief that “improper channels of communication, a lack of rewards, and a lack of caring” prevented more faculty from becoming involved in her College. College B representative Bonnie Spaner said that “no compensation” thwarted College B’s efforts to attract more faculty. Maureen Busher, also from College B, added that some faculty from the Music Department were sponsoring students to give music lessons through the College because the Music Department does not offer lessons to non-Music majors. Biology professor Hal Segal said the Colleges have discouraged faculty from becoming involved and that the rewar d system failed to adequately acknowledge productivity in the Colleges. Further complicating the issue is the Colleges’ attempt to provide for a new class of faculty College faculty hired specifically to teach in the Colleges. This group would consist of community lecturers with expertise in a particular topic as well as professors from other universities. The Colleges plan to introduce an amendment to the Reichert Prospectus at tomorrow’s Faculty-Senate meeting calling for acknowledgement of this new classification of Collegiate faculty. — - HORROR CLASSIC OF THE SILENT SCREEN LON CHANEY in PHANTOM OF THE OPERA accompanied by Art Melgler at the also on the same program CHARLIE CHAPLIN in THE TRAMP Mighty Wuriitzer — reorganization and expansion of IRCB, the non-profit service corporation owned by IRC.

The air shelter, similar to ones used in some areas for indoor tennis courts, is one of several possibilities presently being considered by the Student Association (SA) and Facilities Planning to try to provide the residents of the activity-less North Campus with an athletic facility. It is hoped that structure would accommodate tennis, basketball, handball, a small track and possibly even a weight room, shower and locker room. The air-supported structure is by far the most glamorous of the recreational proposal and is receiving the most attention. It would have about 43,000 square feet of floor space and a 50-foot ceiling. It is supported by a small pressure difference between the outside and inside of the structure, maintained by a system of blowers. A structure of this type, with appropriate safety and emergency measures, is considered completely safe and functional and is favored because of its relatively low cost and short erection time. Amherst residents complain Dwane Moore of Facilities Planning explained that they are presently in the process of getting bids for such an air population one-tenth the size of the structure made locally by Birdair.

The prospects of the State picking up some of the cost, which is expected to run somewhere between $25,000 to $30,000 a year, appears pretty dim, but all those involved are still optimistic of obtaining some sort of gym facilities for the Amherst Campus by the target date of September 1974. • Starts Today! • �Cutbacks mean fewer flights and employees The airline industry has felt the impact of the energy crisis, and Buffalo International Airport and the airlines serving it arc no exception.

Mr. Palefsky expressed hope that President Ketter will okay the proposal in the very near future. ‘There are two other schools in the SUNY organization with the same system*” he mentioned. Expressing a different opinion was Bob Hunt, chairman of the Traffic Control Advisory Committee. He seemed a bit annoyed with Mr. Palefsky’s proposal. When asked if he was in favor of President Ketter agreeing to the measure, Mr. Hunt responded: “It doesn’t make a whole lot of difference to me one way or the other.” Mr. Hunt added that it was “an unfortunate programmm. . . discriminating, not fair or just” — - - — — - SKI — ‘Painstaking and time-consuming' “If' everything went right,” Mr. Hunt said, It would take six months to a year to put the program into effect.

Mr. Hunt said that the program could not possibly be acted upon as swiftly as Mr. Palefsky wished. In any case, the fate of the Committee’s proposal now rests with President Ketter.

So I went in my room and put on the earphones. You can’t watch a Nixon speech anyway, with me around. All I can do is fume and sputter and bellow at the tube. The whole thing does in fact seem ridiculous, but he does get to me on some i primitive level which leaves me impotently gnashing my teeth. *|*| The only reasonable conclusion 11|0 seems to be that I get nervous about being like him. 1* is not hard to internally (inillln conceive of being a I# —. The laundered money and flagrant abuses in national elections, so fully exposed by Watergate, should sensitize us to the flaws in our local political system. To lend the greatest possible legitimacy to our elected Student Association representatives, we must cleanse the process by which they are elected from the abuses which have plagued it in past years. First and most obvious is the need for a ceiling on campaign spending. The amount spent by candidates in past years has greatly increased. This reduces the election chances of poorer students, tips the whole process in favor of those with more money to spend, and leaves the door open for a wealthy student to virtually "buy" an election by expending great sums on publicity. Spending ceilings are one facet of the election reforms SA vice-president Dave Saleh will present to the Student Assembly tomorrow. We favor his proposal for a sliding scale that would allow an independent candidate to spend more ($60) than one on an 11-man ticket ($32 per person), but we think those numbers are too high. We prefer ceilings of $45 on independents and $24 for each candidate on a full ticket, making the ticket's total ceiling $265 instead of $350. The candidates' stands on the issues as published in the campus media, and not how much publicity they can afford to buy, should determine their electoral success. A rigid spending ceiling is an immediate necessity. The rule that campaigning cannot begin until 11 days before the election, often violated in the past, must be strictly enforced by fines and suspensions, with appeals possible to the Student Judiciary. All other campaign rules must be impartially enforced in this manner by the Office of Elections and Credentials. To prevent political manipulation by having the incumbent SA President choose the Director of Elections and Credentials, that person should instead be selected by the Student Assembly in late spring, almost; qjoll yew »n advance of the next year's elections. This wouidfbe preferable to having the post elected, which might encourage political hopefuls seeking an 'in' for the upcoming election. No election advertising in the campus media can be allowed until the 11-day campaign period begins; sanctions should be taken against candidates who violate this rule. A strict ceiling on advertising spending is vital; receipts from all ads must be filed with Elections and Credentials to prevent over-spending, over-advertising or free ads by a campus publication for its favored candidate. These reforms would prevent the ambiguous circumstances which surrounded one candidate's publicity in a campus publication last year. The campus publications themselves should act in good faith and not publish premature publicity, often disguised in the form of news stories --or opinion polls, before the campaign period starts. While we do not favor letting student government determine the fine line between news and disguised publicity, we hope the publications will responsibly refrain from such unprofessional journalism. Voters who see a candidate getting an unusual amount of "news coverage" a few weeks before the election should conclude that the publication is trying to "push" its candidate. Endorsements splashed on the front page, rather than on the editorial pages where they belong, should be similarly viewed. Finally, while we do not favor abolishing tickets, we oppose the listing of tickets in a straight horizontal line. This discourages students from considering each candidate on individual merits and encourages them to blindly flick their finger down a straight line. The inevitable result is the "good dragging in the bad," since each ticket always has its share of mediocre candidates added to round it out. Instead of horizontal listings, a lottery should randomly determine each individual candidate's spot on the ballot; under his name would be his party or "independent." Although an SA constitutional amendment would be nice, the votes would be hard to get and a Student Assembly resolution would serve just as well. We therefore urge the Student Assembly to carefully consider the reforms Mr. Saleh will propose and to act on them tomorrow, in time for this month's SA election. Unfortunately, we cannot legislate the most needed reform, which is getting more than a fraction of the students to vote in the SA elections a puzzling fact when $3/4 million of their money is at stake. We can, at least, clean up the election process itself. — Page six The Spectrum Monday, 4 February 1974 . . mealy-mouthed, plati tude-spouting, ' ;.'

My comments should not be construed as an endorsement of a mechanical one contact hour: one credit formula. (In fact, I think the most sensible suggestion, provided it is administratively feasible, is that of variable credits as attributed to Dr. Ebert in your front page story.) First, I seriously question your assumption that the four-course load actually results in more intensive concentration on particular subject areas and/or in more independent work by students. You assert that the four-course load has been “very successful,” and that the f“four-credit unit has proved a sound idea.” Where is this proof? Has the work load of each course grown? Have students really devoted more time to each remaining course or to independent research since contact hours were reduced by twenty percent? In short, are undergraduates devoting as much total time to their studies, defining “studies” as broadly as you like, as f the eventual outcome of whicty is determined by the ability of the involved individuals to withstand the psychic stress of outwaiting each other). (See above.) The Philosophy Department might make a valuable contribution by studying the implications of the brilliant conceptual leap involved in the final solution to this problem as proposed by Nestor (“Bull”) Morton et. ai. involving the controlled application of a massive, blunt Object (i.e., baseball bat, crowbar, etc.) to critical portions of the anatomy of the opposition. I have heard rumors that College A may present a rather naive alternative involving the use of multilevel parking tots, but this may be disregarded as a rather primitive and typically irrational approach, emphasizing, incidentally, the fundamental illegitimacy of the various colleges in an institution of higher learning. when they were required to take five courses? Absent any hard evidence to the contrary, I find the assertion implausible. It is certainly inconsistent with my personal impressions. Second, you totally ignore the value of breadth in undergraduate education. Your hypothetical history major may benefit from the extra time given to his psychology course (if he in fact expends it), but might he not also benefit from an additional course in music, drama, or biology? There is a lot to be said for a student gaining systematic exposure, even if that exposure is somewhat more superficial, to a wider variety of subjects in his undergraduate career. It may well be his best (and perhaps only) opportunity to become acquainted with intellectual fields which will spark his interest throughout life. And to extoi the virtues of scholarly depth rather than breadth is to assume that the undergraduate student has had a sufficient chance to explore his options respect with to later academic concentration. I very "much doubt that this assumption is warranted. Howard G. Foster Associate Professor L. Travler The Spectrum Editor-in-Chief Campaign costs the average student. Elective choice should be based on cohesive, intelligent platform, not on an innundation of colorful and expensive posters. I was dismayed to leam the prices that the University Press charges for printing such posters. I believe that an equal number of flyers, if flyers and such material must be used, should be made available to all ensure equitable exposure. Intelligent debate speaks for itself when not swamped by posters dependent upon the individual finances of each opponent. While I am talking about campaign practices, it is important to point out, that in the past, many things were said around campus during campaign time, but did not seem to mean much after that. If students want student government to be effective then they will have to take an interest, so as to avoid what is happening this year: attempted abolition of the colleges, attempted arming of security, a recent attempt at initiating a five-course load, and other less publicized issues. In my experience as an SA representative this year, and as a student for the past two, I have noticed that the SA, for the most part has kept out of the fling and has let other interest groups do the fighting. I hope people will take a good look around them, and reassess what is going on, and for God’s sake take an interest. Danny, Production Randi Schnur . . Ronnie Selk . . Amy Dunkin Larry Kraftowitz .

The Nazis said “blame the subhuman blacks.” In Ohio a law has been proposed to sterilize welfare recipients after their second “illegitimate” child. Rising is helping these Nazi laws get passed. (Join us in demonstrating against this law March 2 in Columbus, Ohio.) Rising’s propaganda, like Hitler’s, will kill not only its immediate victims, but millions of other workers and students as well.

He said that trying to engineer the makeup of an unconceivcd person is not really to be taken seriously, now or for the future. “With our slim knowledge and the innumerable possibilities involved in genetic combination,” he thinks that “attempting to combine specific male and female genes would be as ludicrous as the man who wanted to cross a cabbage with a radish so he could eat both together.

Van Dorsten, who missed last Saturday’s match against Brockport because of medical reasons, was followed by Carl Gabauer for a 1-2 Buffalo finish. Shaberly thought “Buffalo did an excellent job. I’ll admit that we haven’t swam as well as we could, but that doesn’t take anything away from Buffalo. The man who really surprised me was Bemseley,” added Shaberly. Bemseley said after races of the 50-yard freestyle: “I knew I could do it physically but I was worried I couldn’t psyche myself up for another race.” Buffalo assistant coach Craig Ritz noted, “We still have a long way to go. Some other teams are already peaking but our times should go down for a while. We may beat some of those teams that beat us earlier in the season at the New York State Championships,” Ritz added. Commenting on the Bulls chances against Rochester on Wednesday night Ritz noted that Rochester had only swam in one meet and “We should have the upper edge.

The Bulls Mark Bemseley apparently had scored Buffalo’s first victory. Alfred’s Paul Strauss complained that he had caught his foot in the false start rope which was still in the water. The referees ruled that Strauss had a disadvantage and that the race should be run again. When it was rerun, Bemseley won by about the same margin he had won on the first race. Referee Ray Johnston explained: “He definitely hit it (the rope). It was against the wall and he just hit off of it.” Alfred coach Mike Shaberly felt that the rope “probably didn’t make any difference but the kid (Strauss) felt he could win the race if it was , rerun”. < Bulls aroused The fact that Bemseley won the 50 in.the rerun Bikeway proposed west of Millersport A civil engineering student has a proposal for a bicycle pathway between the Main Street and Amherst campuses. Edward Coleman has designated an area just west of Millersport Highway where the bikeway would be constructed. The bicycle path would run parallel to Millersport Highway instead of along the highway itself, Mr. Coleman explained. The Niagara Frontier Transportation Commission (NFTC), whose duty it is to coordinate regional transportation, has suggested that campus bikepaths be connected with any existing bikeway introduced systems. Possible hindrances Several factors could hinder the implementation of this plan, First, the bikeway would not be funded by Amherst or Erie County (it’s rather indefinite who would fund it) if there was not a great demand. Presently, there are few cyclists commuting between campuses. The civil engineering group plans to conduct a survey of students on both campuses to determine how many of them have bicycles. Secondly, obstructions like sewer gratings and the crossing of major highways may complicate things. Doug Philip, a spokesman for Faciilities Planning, explained: depends on the final “It and report engineering the transit of configuration system between the South and Amherst Campuses.” Crossing the Youngman Expressway with a bicycle seems a rather difficult task, with cars speeding by at 55 MPH. Pobert Hunt, Director of Environmental Health and Safety, suggested that an underpass be constructed allowing bicyclists to cross safely. Two Civil Engineering groups arc currently investigating the bikeway proposal. One group is studying roads and designs, the other is looking into bikeway legislation. Only if all the specifications are developed and the (dan is deemed feasible will it become a matter of concern for the governmental bodies. Need copies of anything? That's right, anything!

He robbed me three or four times, and he robbed Johnny by Dave Gerrfaiger Sports Editor HAMILTON, N Y. - The hockey Bulls struck out in their final attempt of the season to gain a victory an ECAC Division I team Saturday night. Buffalo’s 8-2 loss at Colgate’s Starr Rink was their third without a win against Division 1 opposition this year. Buffalo is 12-9, while the Red Raiders arc buried at the bottom of the heap in Division I (712-1) The game was much closer than the final score indicated, with Colgate outshooting Buffalo by 34-28. However, Colgate capitalized on seemingly every opportunity, while the Bulls were thwarted almost endlessly. Raider goaltender Chris Grigg did most of the thwarting, allowing goals with all the frequency of a solar eclipse. Grigg was outstanding, stopping 13 of 14 Bull shots in the second period when Colgate increased a 2-0 margin to 5-1. Scoring opportunities missed Buffalo missed at least as many excellent scoring chances in the opening period as Grigg foiled. The Raider netminder allowed only Mike Klym’s 25th goal of the season when the game outcome had been long decided. Klym’s goal just 45 seconds into the middle stanza was followed by A1 Forslund’s slap shot marker just six seconds later which restored the Raiders’ two-goal margin. [Stranges] also,” Klym added. Bulls coach Ed Wright also praised Grigg’s play; their “We didn’t have any lick around the net goaltender stopped us cold. That’s what a goaltender does to you, he constantly frustrates you. If you keep shooting at a goaltender and he constantly frustrates you, it throws your game off. It’s like a form of intimidation. Yes, for the shots we took at him. I’d have to say that he’s the best we’ve faced,” Wright continued. — Raiders have speed, defense The Bull skipper also praised the Raiders: “Colgate is the best Division I team that I’ve seen this year. They had a better defense than Clarkson. They were very fast and they just kept going on those wings,” Wright added. Buffalo will enter the crucial part of their season this weekend, traveling to American International and New Haven for contests Saturday and Sunday before journeying to Oswego for another crucial two-game set two weeks later. The Bulls defeated AIC earlier this season, 4-3, in the finals of the AIC tournament. New Haven is 6-10 after dropping a 6-2 decision at Oswego Saturday night. Both weekend games are in the “must win” category if the Bulls are to rate a chance for selection for the Division II playoffs which begin March 2.

Tlut at 158 Jerry can overpower ” jpeople.” The Canandaigua boys, freshmen Ron Langdon (118) and Bruce Hadsell (142) had two key yips within an hour’s time in the round robin style meet; “I could really feel myself getting tired in that second match,” said Langdon. Jim Young (134) and Charlie Wright also won twice for the Bulls recording one pin a piece. Wright remains undefeated at 13-0-2, while Young has only one loss against 17 wins. - Courses still open: RCC 332 Man in the Garden; Environmental aspects of literature - Reg.

Russi, who weighed in at 298, almost got pinned himself 'first.T‘1 scared myself there,” he said. “I forgot to grab his [Syracuse’s Tom Morgan’s) arm when I pulled him down and he landed on top of me.” Russi squirmed out of trouble and promptly did it right. Both meets featured a lack of takedowns. Stever attributed this to the high level of competition and similarity in coaching styles. “It’s very difficult to get a takedown when both wrestlers are trying the same things,” Stever said. Michael cited the reluctance of a wrestler to give a takedown in a short six minute match (regular matches last eight minutes) and the short frames of most Syracuse matmen as factors in the shortage of takedowns. Overall the Bulls can attribute their wins Saturday to very tenacious riding, their best to date. More of the same will be needed if Buffalo is to defeat Cleveland State Wednesday night at Sweet Home High School. Cleveland State was one of only two teams to best the Bulls last year.

The Senate granted a similar veto to the Faculty-Senate Executive Committee over the two College appointments to that Chartering Committee. Meeting before an overflow crowd which alternately cheered and booed while listening to the extensive debate on amendments to Jonathan Reichert’s Colleges Committee report, the Senators also voted to ask only the Dean of the Colleges to submit an independent recommendation to President Ketter on College~charter proposals. The Reichert report had called for independent from recommendations the Academic Affairs vice president and Dean of Undergraduate Studies as well as the Dean of the Colleges. More Collegians rejected The Senate also rejected a proposal to increase College representation on the Chartering Committee from two to four members. A resolution to give any member of the University Community the power To initiate proceedings to dissolve a College was also defeated. The amendment giving the Colleges veto power over the faculty appointments to the Chartering Committee was based upon a rationale first expressed in the Reichert report, which stated that representatives from the faculty should not come from those openly hostile to the ‘ Colleges." Dr. Reichert supported the amendment, as did faculty Senator Bernard Greenblat, who urged his colleagues to give “some semblance of recognition to people who have been investing their energy, enthusiasm and competence” in building the Colleges. The Colleges were given a similar veto power over appointments to the external and internal evaluations conducted during the past year. Beverly Paigen, chairman of the Colleges’ Program Evaluation Committee (PEC), cited the internal and external evaluations as evidence that the Colleges “will not misuse the veto power.” , Veto ‘important gain’ Harold Segal, professor of Biology, spoke against the veto power resolution, calling it a “delegation of veto power to an outside agency.” Urging a reform of the Colleges in line with the Reichert Committee, Dr. Segal asked the Senate to “rely on the Faculty-Senate Executive Committee [the body charged with making appointments to Committees] to be judicious.” Roger Cook, the author of the minority statement in the College Committee report, called the veto power an “important” gain for the Colleges. He added that it assures that a faculty representative to the Chartering Committee will not come from those faculty openly hostile to the Colleges.' The successful amendment to mandate that independent recommendations to the President over chartering proposals come only from the Dean of the Colleges and not from the Dean of Undergraduate Studies or Academic Affairs vice president was introduced by Senator David Hollinger. ‘Crippling abdication’ “There’s no reason to give them special clout,” Dr. Hollinger said.. He explained that the DUS Dean and Academic Affairs vice president were already involved as non-voting members of the Chartering Committee. The unsuccessful amendment to increase the College membership from two to four on the Chartering Committee was proposed by William Allen, professor of History. Proponents cited the statement prepared by Women Studies College students and endorsed by the Collegiate Assembly, that increased representation “takes into account the experience and acquired wisdom of experimental education possessed by those currently working in the Colleges. This should not be seen as a bid for control of the committee, but rather as one for continuity between the current system and the proposed one, one that gives us a significant role in the shaping of our future,” Arguing against the amendment, Dr. Segal said increasing the number of College representatives would be a “crippling abdication of faculty responsibility.” The amendment was rejected by a 48-19 margin. Experimental courses next The Senate also passed a resolution cutting the terms of Charter Committee members from two years to one. The Faculty-Senate will reconvene next Tuesday at 2:30 p.m. in Diefendorf 148 to consider various other amendments to the Reichert report. The most important amendment still pending before the Faculty-Senate involves experimental courses. Under the present system, experimental courses may be given by the Colleges on a one-semester trial basis. The Reichert report does not include a provision for the continuing of this practice. Therefore, all courses will have to receive prior approval by the Division of Undergraduate Studies (DUS) Curriculum Committee A recent College statement asked that experimental courses be continued because they “provide for short-term commitments in dealing with interesting but untried ideas, and provide for a growing edge to curriculum as a sound basis of experience.” budianskt develop new Colleges, the role of the master of each College, and funding of the Colleges. The once-serene Faculty-Senate meetings have become a forum for debate among students, faculty and Collegians since consideration of the new College Prospectus began. Tuesday’s meeting by the was highlighted of several uniformed Buffalo policemen who came to speak about the merits of College Z. College Z has initiated programs through which students work with policemen to develop an awareness of the role of the appearance police. No longer serene Other proposed amendments to be discussed at next Tuesday’s meeting deal with the role of faculty participation in the Colleges, the proposed Workshops to Lt. McDaniels, the head of the Tactical Police Unit (TPU) which was called onto campus during the 1969-70 student demonstrations, spoke about the development of student-police interaction through the College Z program. Nader: Oil companies have ‘turned the screws’ to create energy squeeze by Michael O’Neill National Editor “There is no energy crisis. The giant oil have created it with either production and refinery cutbacks, advertising propaganda and falsified reserve reports.” These charges were leveled companies against the oil industry and the government Nader in a speech to students at Niagara Community College on Wednesday. Mr. Nader, the long-time consumer advocate, issued a forthright challenge to the oil companies. He accused them of manipulating the present situation to create circumstances most favorable to themselves. The Department of the Interior and other government groups charged with monitoring the oil companies were called by Ralph Ralph Nader “little more than a private real estate and accounting firm for the industry.” His criticisms were sharp and to the point, but his speech went beyond the realm of verbal accusation. Refusing to believe “The American people cannot win the propaganda battle,” Mr. Nader conceded. “but for the first time the people are refusing to believe statements issued by the industry and their government counterparts.” Interpreting this as a ray of hope, Mr." Nader asked: “Are the consumers of this country going to allow the oil companies to continue unchecked?” Although the task is immense, Mr. Nader outlined a plan of action that would make Congress take steps to break away from the oil interests and represent the people of the country. “Make the energy issue a number one priority and put pressure on your representatives to check the large companies,” he urged the crowd. We will be forced to pay with our dollars and our health if the stampede of industry is allowed to go on,” he cautioned • ‘ Turning the screws The present shortage of heating and fuel oil, he said, is a reality. Available petroleum is at a dangerous low, but Mr. Nader emphasized: “This does not mean there is a shortage of oil available for production. The world is drowning in oil.” It is the oil companies that have made oil a valuable commodity, Mr. Nader charged: “It is within their power to turn the screws —continued on page 18— �Recreational employment WmM The Buffalo Youth Board is accepting applications for penons interested in part-time employment as Recreational aides.

Special Student Menu & .... Loaded to the gills ‘The Effects of Alcohol on Goldfish” is one of the experiments being conducted at the Research Institute on Alcoholism. Research Institute opens for nation s greatest drug problem by Phil Samuels Staff Writer Spectrum The country’s first state-funded Research Institute on Alcoholism officially opened last November in Buffalo. Funded by the New York State Department of Mental Hygiene, the Institute is provided with facilities and faculty members by the State University of Buffalo. A staff of 50 now occupies the former Federal Offices Building on Main and North Streets, which was given to the state for the purpose of alcohol research. Of the 50 staffers, 25 are researchers brought to Buffalo from all over the country by Cedric M. Smith, director of the Institute and professor of Pharmacology at this University. The interior of the building is being remodeled to accommodate labs and offices. The institute will be dealing with all facets of alcohol research. ‘This is not a narrow program of research,” said James J. Wood, a research scientist at the Institute. Dr. Wood will be dealing with educational research and the evaluation of various social experiments. He described the program as “multidisciplinary,” dealing with the pharmacological, behavioral, social, physiological and psychological effects of alcohol. The Institute was set up “to get some answers” to the questions: Where are rehabilitation centers needed most? How many people must they accommodate? How to convince the abusive “social drinker” to seek help? What is the best way to treat the problem drinker? Alcholic rats A number of projects have been proposed. One possibility is to study entire populations to see if there is any genetic link to alcohol tolerance. This might help explain the high rate of alcoholism among Irish-Americans and the among Jews. Ifhe Researchers are also testing effects of alcohol on succeeding generations by feeding alcohol to mother rats. A noticeable concentration of alcohol was found to be contained in the mother’s milk. As the infants mature, they are tested for alcohol preference and tolerance against a group of controlled rats, and comparisons are made. Another experiment already in progress is ‘The Effects of Alcohol on Muscle Spindles,” which will shed light on how alcohol affects coordination and other nervous system functions. Gettingfish drunk The first research paper issued by the Institute was called ‘The Development and Loss ofTolerance ‘Problem drinkers’ Exclaiming that alcoholism is “the number one to Alcohol in Goldfish.” This experiment studied the drug problem in the country,” Dr. Wood likened factors affecting tolerance and where the alcohol is problem drinkers to drug abusers.

Introduced by Assembly members Michael Pierce and Frank Jackolone, the motion carried by a vote of 14 to 8. Arguing for the proposal Mr. Pierce spoke on the importance of supporting the Colleges. The proposal was later amended to include a resolution calling for SA to issue a statement of support in favor of the Minority report. — The resolution to hold a referendum on the Minority Report of the Faculty-Senate Colleges Committee is being sent passed by the Student Assembly Tuesday back by Student Association (SA) President Jon Dandes. The referendum proposal was passed in the wake of a stormy meeting of the Faculty-Senate earlier in the day, where several Student Assembly members claimed the Colleges were being “annihilated.” ‘The proposal is ridiculous,” asserted Mr. Dandes, who, by sending the proposal back to the Assembly for reconsideration, is exercising a form of veto power permitted under the SA constitution. - — Absentee input Characterizing the Assembly’s action as “too little loo late,” Mr. Dandes felt the Collegiate proposals were inappropriate for students to vote upon. “Questions of academic policy are not for referendum. If the Assembly wanted student input, they should have been at the Faculty-Senate meeting speaking to the Senators,” Mr. Dandes said. “The issue is very complex with many ramifications,” continued Mr. Dandes. ‘To ask for a referendum five days before the Faculty-Senate meeting precludes any effort that might be made to educate the public as to the reasons for the referendum. As of now, the majority and minority reports [of the Faculty-Senate Detract from election ‘.‘It won’t accomplish anything,” claimed Assemblyman Warren Breisblatt. “It would have been enough to pass a resolution in favor of the Colleges and send a strong letter to Gil Moore. The Majority Report, with one or two revisions, is going to go through no maker what is done,” he said. A referendum would detract from the upcoming SA elections and lower the election turnout at the polls, Mr. Breisblatt maintained. Work on the referendum should have started three weeks ago to allow for substantial student input and a complete educational process of telling people about both the majority and minority reports,” reiterated Mr. Dandes. Citing the Assembly’s habitual inaction regarding leaflet printing and letter-writing campaigns, the SA President said: ‘The SA has a bad history with referendums.” In the midst of a controversy over the proposed arming of Campus Security last year, less than 1000 students out of a total of 14,000 undergraduates voted in a referendum on arming. - - Jon Dandes In other business, the Assembly agreed to establish an election reform committee, with a temporary chairman to be appointed sometime in the immediate future. “We’re hoping for a limit on SA campaign spending and possibly on the number of column inches of advertising; and that violation of these rules will result in disqualification of candidates or fines with a 72-hour limit on payment,” explained Executive Vice President Dave Saleh. “We can’t wait any longer; if they want any changes, it will have to come this week,” Mr. Saleh emphasized. University Plaza has become the location of attempted rapes The sixth attempted rape within the last year in the University area was reported to the Amherst Police on January 22. This latest attempt was thwarted when the victim, after two full minutes of silence, apparently* overcome by shock, screamed, and frightened the attacker away. The previous five attempts did not result in rape, but did result in sodomy. (Sodomy is a lesser charge than rape, and consists of anal intercourse or oral intercourse, or almost every form of intercourse other than face-to-face.) No pattern is evident, the Amherst Police reported, but the assaults all occurred in the evening between 7:45 and 10:30 p.m. All six occurred on week nights. Event witnessed The University January attack was witnessed by a State of Buffalo student. She saw the attacker come from behind, grab the victim, tie her hands behind her back and drag her into the bushes. After two minutes, she screamed, and the attacker ran off. The witness did not notice any weapons on the assailant, but was surprised at how tightly the victim’s hands were bound behind her back. The witness said the police think the attacker is a student at this University, and do not know if the victim was a student. All of the attacker’s victims have been between the ages of 16-24, and all the rapes have occurred in the area behind the University Plaza, The January 22 attack occurred at Princeton and Windemere Streets, and the previous attack was on Springville, near Brant. The Amherst Police said four detectives are concentrating solely on this case, but as yet they have no leads on the man, other than the composite picture shown here. If you see this man, do not attempt to apprehend him; contact the Amherst Police at 632-1110.

Bicycle cage decreases thefts Bicycle thefts on campus have dropped dramatically thanks to the Student Association’s (SA) construction of the bicycle cage behind Lockwood Library, indicated Lee Griffin, assistant director of Campus Security. The bicycle cage has had a great deterrent effect on prospective bicycle thieves, affirmed Cliff Palefsky, SA Student Rights Coordinator. According to figures supplied by Mr. Griffin, there were 18 bicycle thefts on campus in August 1973 and 12 thefts during a similar period in 1972. After the opening of the bicycle cage last September, only one bike theft was committed that month. Efficient procedure Mr. Palefsky explained the way the bicycle cage security operation works. Students who wish to register their bicycles [free of charge) withSA must fill out an index card with the serial number of the bike. Someone is hired to sit by the entrance of the bicycle cage with a file of all registered bicycles. To reclaim a bicycle from the cage, the owner must match the number on his index card with the one on the bottom of the bicycle. SA is currently issuing identification license plates for the rear fender of each registered bike so the owner does not have to turn it upside down to check the serial number. With over 1000 registered bicycles, the operation is working so well that additions to the cage are being considered. Mr. Palefsky suggested that racks be set up to accommodate motorcycle helmets and other small items. Mr. Palefsky also hoped lights could be installed around the bicycle cage, but explained it would cost close to $4000. He is hopeful the administration will realize their responsibility to aid in this security operation and will help to finance the installation of the lights. etitions for Student Association positions available beginning Wednesday, January 30 in room 205.

Affecting about seven million rpbtorists, ' no-fault insurance applies to all motor vehicles except for privately operated motorcycles, electrically driven invalid chairs, vehicles on rails or tracks, and snowmobiles. The no-fault insurance law will bring about “prompt payment of economic losses to persons injured in auto accidents, regardless of fault, be they motorists, passengers or pedestrians,” according to the New York State Insurance Department. The new law will also eliminate lawsuits for bodily injury, “thereby easing the burden on our courts,” as well as reducing insurance premiums New York motorists must pay, the Department said. Insured to $50,000 Effective today, all New York State motorists must buy insurance coverage providing for the payment without regard to fault of at least $50,000 in economic losses sustained by any driver, passenger of pedestrian injured in an auto accident anywhere in the State. In return, all accident victims automatically will lose their right to sue unless their medical expenses exceed $500, or unless their injuries result in death, dismemberment, significant disfigurement, etc., or thieir economic losses exceed their no-fault protection. A person injured in an auto accident may receive only 80% of lost earnings under the new law, unless he is receiving benefits from another source such as Workman’s Compensation or Social Security Benefits. The no-fault law describes benefit* as “all reasonable and necessary - - medical and rehabilitation expenses, lost earnings up to $800 a month for three years, and up to $25 a day for other reasonable expenses incurred as a result of the accident.” Collision not included Insurance companies are also offering a wide variety of addf mal 'end thr basic no-fault package in the event of an accident outside New York ■state. Private agents and brokers are urging policyholders to request additional coverage to protect them during out-of-state travel. In order to protect themselves from a lawsuit, New Yorkers must still purchase minimum liability insurance, which was mandated prior to the no-fault law to provide $10,000 of insurance in the event of one injury or death; $20,000 in the event of two; and $5000 for property damage. They must also buy coverage to protect themselves against uninsured motorists in this state. ■ Other coverage such as medical payments, collision insurance and comprehensive coverage against other damage is not required by law, but is generally part of a typical auto insurance policy. The New York law provides for a 16% annual saving on the cost of combined liability coverage and no-fault personal injury protection. An additional 5% saving is provided by law for drivers who elect to absorb the first $200 in no-fault benefits themselves. - - 30-day limit Another key feature of the new no-fault law is that losses will be paid as they are incurred as medical bills are received and as earnings would be paid. The insurance company is required to make payment within 30 days after you supply proof of loss. If it fails to comply, it must pay 2% interest per month on the unpaid amounts, and reasonable legal fees, if it was necessary for you to retain a lawyer in order to collect a valid claim. Motorists with questions about obtaining or maintaining a policy in New York State may contact their agents or brokers as well as the parent company for further information. The New York State Insurance Department has also established a toll-free number to answer questions, Monday to Friday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.: 800-522-6837. Information is also available by writing the Department at 123 Williams Street, New York, N.Y., 10038, or 324 State Street, Albany, N.Y., 12210. — tate of the Union Ten-point legislation proposed Declaring that “one year of Watergate is enough,” President Richard Nixon delivered his fourth State of the Union message Wednesday since taking office in 1969, the first delivered in person since 1972. Mr. Nixon proposed a ten-point plan of legislative proposals ranging from helath to energy, from welfare to foreign policy. Speaking forcefully and dramatically, Mr, Nixon vowed “there will be no recession in 1974,” insisting that Congress pass his plans to “break the back of the energy crisis.” This country will attend an urgent meeting called recently by the Arab states, he said, as a result of the Middle East peace agreement, to lift the oil embargo on the United Spates. The President reiterated his stand that the United States “will not be coerced” regarding the purchase or sale of oil; “Let’s do everything we can to avoid rationing in the United States of America.” His legislative energy package included legislation he claimed would prevent windfall profits by the major oil companies. The plan would authorize expenditure of $10 billion in five years on energy research by the government. He claimed private industry would spend $200 billion in the same five years on energy development so that “we can meet the enerygy crisis head-on.” Power to the people Aside from his energy proposals, Mr. Nixon proposed a plan for “high quality health care that all Americans can afford.” As with his energy legislation, there are alternative plans in Congress for comprehensive national health insurance. He urged state and local governments to become more responsive to the needs of people, and cited progress in moving Federal authority and money “back from Washington to the states, local governments, and the people of America.” He urged that Congress vote to improve public transportation, explaining: “Mass transit is essential to improving life.” “our children should have the best education,” Mr. Nixon stated. He proposed that Congress adopt his plan for advance funding, when colleges and schools know a year in advance what their federal allocation will be, so that they might plan their budgets more carefully. The President also proposed an expanded loan and grant program for college students so that a college education would become more accessible “to those who can least afford it.” Responsibility in Indochina Stressing the need to reform the welfare system, Mr. Nixon said “cash assistance is what low-income people need most,” not housing and food subsidies, so they, not government, could determine what their needs are. He suggested a “negative income tax” or any other form of direct cash assistance to the poor. The President also promised a “historic beginning” in legislation to protect the right to personal privacy. He also proposed tax reform, transfer of Bureau of Indian Affairs programs to Indian tribal control, and a big increase in defense spending in a federal budget that will rise 529.7 billion to $304.4 billion. Mr. Nixon made a strong commitment to maintain American involvement in Indochina, noting that we must not let our relief at military extrication from Vietnam lead to “washing our hands of the whole affair... men and Women are still dying there,” he said, emphasizing that the U.S. had “a responsibility” in the area. Mr. Nixon forcefully pledged that he would “never allow America to become the second strongest nation on the earth.” He pledged to continue his past policies of using American military force “to keep peace, not break it, and defend freedom, not attack it.” He promised “full accounting” for the men missing in action in Southeast Asia, his first-reference to those men in quite some time. ‘The right way” to establish inexpensive health care for the entire nation, Mr. Nixon said, would be to “build on the strengths of the present system. a partnership, not paternalism.. . Government must make sure the doctor works for the patients not the Federal Government.” In his opening remarks, Nr. Nixon asserted that “America is the single greatest force for peace anywhere in the world. . . This is the first time in twelve years that the United States has been at peace with every nation of the world.” He delineated the accomplishments of the five years of his administration: ‘The prisoners of war came home on their feet, not on theirknees. peace has been returned to the cities and campuses... the crime rate has been cut in half. . the rate of new heroin addiction is decreasing. .. and for the first time in years, young men today are not faced with conscription.” .. .. Mr. Nixon seemed to display a conciliatory tone toward Congress. He frequently mentioned cooperation between the executive and legislative branches. In an interesting end to his speech, he said in a “personal note” that “I have provided all the documents 1 think are necessary to the Special Prosecutor. . . 1 will cooperate with the Judiciary Committee consistent with the responsibilities and duties of the President of the United States.” However, Mr. Nixon did offer a limitation on his cooperation with the House impeachment inquiry, which he said was the limitation governing all Presidents from Washington on.: “Never do anything to weaken the office or impair the power of future Presidents to make decisions.” He repeated that he has “no intention of ever walking away from the job he was elected to do.” He predicted that 1974 would be “a year of unprecedented progress toward lasting peace in the world and prosperity without war.” Senator Geroge McGovern (D.,S. Dak.), interviewed after the speech, said: “Few Americans share the confidence he has. . . he failed to come to grips with the crisis of the Presidency itself. . . it is difficult for him to provide leadership.” CBS commentator Dan Rather termed the speech “a masterful performance by a skilled orator,” although “some may think it was a bummer.” Friday, 1 February 1974 The Spectrum Page flee . . �~Thr\ Sim'iii To Ihm* Tlirir Own Uiilioniij” S\i.|rm” controversy over the Colleges is that the once-dull Faculty-Senate has become a forum in which students, faculty and administrators can debate their educational ideas. Although this University is still far from anything resembling a democracy, an open exchange of ideas and viewpoints is far better than the Administration's usual decision-making behind closed doors. Thus far the Colleges have twice succeeded in amending the Reichert Prospectus in important ways: by adding two Collegiate Assembly representatives to the Chartering Committee which will judge every College; and by giving the Colleges veto power over the six faculty members who will sit on that committee. The "veto" amendment passed Tuesday raises some hope that the Colleges may be judged by a somewhat open-minded panel, rather than one loaded with faculty blatantly hostile to the Colleges. The Colleges' responsible use of their veto power over the internal and external evaluators proves they will not abuse that power, but exercise it only to keep the committee free from hostile partisans. It would be even more encouraging if the Faculty-Senators were to recognize the dangers of stifling administrative control of course curricula, and amend the Prospectus to permit the continuation of a one-semester trial for experimental courses if they meet basic academic standards. The danger of the Too little, too late with document's obsession "legitimacy" was highlighted last week when Academic Affairs vice-president Bernard Gelbaum cancelled 16 College courses in mid-semester because the instructors did not have B.A.'s. With certain safeguards, experimental courses must be given at least a one-term trial to prove themselves, after which they would still require formal DUS approval. But to require prior approval by an administrative bureaucracy will lead to many more instanced of innovation being squashed at its source because some bureaucrat doesn't think the instructor has the proper "credentials." The Faculty-Senate will be considering many important academic issues the future of both the Colleges and the four-course load among them in the coming months. When the Administration doesn't ignore the Senate, it is a valuable vehicle for faculty input into academic policy. Students, unfortunately, have no formal input into University decisions (the fledgling University Assembly notwithstanding) although they must bear the brunt of academic policies. Until real student input becomes a reality until this University moves from a system of paternalistic dictates to democratic we hope at least the participation Faculty-Senate floor will becorrie a place where opposing views especially the oft-ignored concerns of students can be freely heard. — — — — — - Referendum sent back Note: The following is the memorandum sent to the Student Assembly by SA President Jon Dandes: In their enthusiasm to join the battle over the Colleges, the Student Assembly excitedly passed an ill-conceived resolution to hold a referendum asking undergraduates if they support the majority or minority report of the Faculty-Senate Colleges Committee. Although some type of referendum might have been a decent idea a few weeks ago, to hold a one-day referendum on Monday with barely 24 hours for publicity would probably attract about 300 voters and prove a severe embarrassment. As student representatives, the Student Assembly should take a stand on the Colleges issue on behalf of students whether through a letter to President Ketter, an endorsement of the Minority Report, or urging those who would vote in the one-day referendum to provide direct input by showing up at the Tuesday Faculty-Senate meetings. But to belatedly order a last-minute referendum after the Faculty-Senate has considered most of the — — - important amendments is to abdicate responsibility as any kind of voice for the • student body. A referendum is only suitable for taking the public pulse on clear-cut issues and even last year's dramatic choice of, for or against the arming of Campus Security drew barely a thousand people. A referendum between complex legislative proposals with their technical subtleties when very few students have even read the Reichert report is an exercise in stupidity. Many Assembly members apparently haven't read the report either; one Assemblyman quite seriously asked why next Tuesday's Faculty-Senate meeting couldn't be postponed until after the Assembly's referendum. SA President Jon Dandes has made the only rational move by sending this short-sighted proposal back to the Assembly. All anyone who really wanted a referendum on the Colleges has to do is go to next Tuesday's Faculty-Senate meeting and deliver their vote in person. — — — State of the Presidency Because of a situation which I believe will lead the ultimate detriment of Student Association, 1 am sending back the piece of legislation passed by the Assembly at its meeting of January 29, 1974 calling for a referendum to be held on Monday, February 5, 1974 concerning the Colleges. The reasons are the following; 1) There is insufficient time for Student Association to publicize such a referendum. educational responsibilities 2) The which Student have in informing the student body about such an issue would be too complex to deal with in four days. 3) A complex educational issue such as this should be dealt with by an informed student body and not on the basis of a referendum to be held within four (4) days. 4) The opportunity for direct student input is available to everyone at the Faculty-Senate meeting itself. The indirect method of referendum would dilute the impact of students speaking directly to the Faculty Senators. 5) Previous student responses to referendums would preclude us from making any realistic assessment of student sentiment. It is my hope that the desire for real student input into the Faculty Senates decision is such that to the Assembly would, not abdicate responsibiHPVj by not taking It is a sad spectacle when a U.S. President eyeing his personal finances and dubious tax must use the State of the Union message as a deductions and are expected to order Mr. political "fight" speech. Yet despite an array Nixon to pay a large sum in back taxes, And over a dozen Watergate-related civil suits of warmed-over legislative proposals and Ralph Nader's milk suit, the Mitchell-Stans inexplicable ovations from the Congressmen trial, the subpoena of Mr. Nixon to testify at who would rather face the 1974 elections John Ehrlichman's trial promise that the without him, Mr. Nixon's umpteenth attempt legal ramifications of Watergate are far from to put Watergate behind him was merely a over. — its legislative stand. To foist a referendum on the student body without any chance for proper and full debate is wrong in my view, when in fact it is the responsibility of the Student Assembly to speak for the student body and when in fact the possibility of direct input is so obvious. a Jonathan A. Dandes, President Student Association — staged illusion for the television audience. Even as he vowed never to resign, the House Judiciary Committee was hammering out the ground rules for impeachment; if Mr. Nixon tries to rewrite the Constitution's clause by withholding impeachment evidence, he may trigger an immediate vote to impeach. The committee is trying to find some way to obtain access to the evidence compiled by Special Prosecutor Jaworski, who is investigating areas such as ITT, milk finances; major indictments and are imminent. The intentional, manual (and sickeningly obvious) destruction of taped evidence is being scrutinized by the FBI, as the circle draws tighter and tighter, around the President. Congress and the IRS are v P^e£^.1T^^B§g^uqi,.

Half the nation would like him to resign, although many still shrink from impeachment. But every day, new evidence makes corporate collusion, influence peddling, obstruction of justice, destruction of evidence, perjury, fraud and so on that much more obvious to the court of public opinion. Whether a House impeachment vote makes the State of the Union address Mr. Nixon's last hurrah remains to be seen but that he is a corrupt, crippled President for the remainder of the term he is desperately clinging to is excruciatingly clear. — Grad aid snafu To the Editor.

Just because most of the other universities in the state system run on, the 3-crcdit, 5-course system, doesn’t make it a better system. “One credit hour for one contact hour” is even more ridiculous. If we are going to quantify education, let’s not do it arbitrarily. Instead of using the magic number “3” or “4”, we could give courses credits according to their content. Courses which aren’t as difficult (but valuable) can carry two credits, while really difficult courses like Organic Chemistry for example, where students spend IS hours a week out of classroom working, should be given 4 or even 5 credits. If we’re going to quantify educational quality, let’s at least do it right. Jody Fran Burns Recreation: inaccurate To the Editor. It behooves us to correct certain inaccuracies in Dave Geringer’s article concerning the building of a recreation facility on the North Campus. It is irresponsible to state, as Mr. Geringer does, that the Amherst Campus will probably have a recreation facility next year. At this time the idea is still in its infancy, nothing is definite and the concerned parties in the Student Association, Administration, Facilities Planning and Housing Offices are merely exploring the possibilities. We are still far from the actual structural planning of the facility. Similarly, the funding question has yet to be answered. It seems that the only thing that has been agreed a place where upon is the need for such a structure students, particularly those 3000 who will be in residence on the Amherst Campus next year, can go for exercise during the winter when outdoor recreation is impossible. If built the structure will not be a palace, but it will serve the much needed function of providing recreational opportunities until the new gymnasium is completed. Only a few short weeks ago, due to certain problems, the idea seemed doomed to fail. However, of the the understanding and cooperation administration, as well as the Facilities Planning and Housing officials have given us renewed hope. - Bruce Engel Russia after the Second World War. Inflation is only rising 10 to 15 per-cent per year, while unemployment is still lower than the period from 1930 to 1939. Our armed forces this year did not, let me repeat that, did not lose a battle as compared to the previous years of my predecessors. Due to wise policy on the part of my advisors, we have managed to cut fuel consumption by such an extent that if any country or countries attempt to cut off our fuel supply we will avoid any crisis or panic. During my previous tenure as President I brought peace to Southeast Asia: our boys and our equipment returned home, while those who wanted war were stifled by my brilliant action. Now that peace reigns in Asia, only 50,000, give or take a couple of thousand, gooks are being killed every year. Enough of the good news; as strong resolute Americans we must look at the dark as well as the bright side of life. Through the past year I have been assailed by spiteful, vindictive, sore losers, and these creatures have spread nasty rumors concerning my personal finances, my involvement in the so-called Watergate matter, my mental stability, and other inconsequential matters. Let me make one thing perfectly clear: I never have, or never will be, or for that matter never plan to be, implicated in anything that is contrary to good taste, Amy Vanderbilt, Country and Flag, Mom’s apple pie or the Johnny Mann singers. Now that I have cleared up my involvement with the planning or coverup of that alleged Watergate incident, I would like to discuss the so-called tape controversy. United States, I As President of the instituted a tape system designed to record my place in posterior, excuse me, posterity. This ingenious system, built around a complex and a complicated Sony recorder, which only cost the taxpayers one thousand dollars, was used to record all sounds made in my Oval Office. Now concerning the tape matter. It is very difficult to explain what happened, for I am a very shy person; however my Quaker heritage dictates that I tell the truth. You see it was not a “mysterious force” as the late General Haig so ironically stated, it was only the product of unbridled passions and lust. My children, unknown to me, had been using the Oval Office as a trysting place where their desires and passions could be satisfied. Upon the discovery of the tape system, those involved attempted to cover up their actions by erasing the evidence of their lust and sin. We now have in custody all of these violators of my little girls, and all two thousand will be tried as common rapists. This fact now can explain my so-called enemies list which has been bandied about by the liberal press. I have also been threatened by many people who state that I have “subverted the Bill of Rights, secretly bombed Cambodia which violated the Constitution, tampered with the courts and the due process of law, violated the spirit and law of the electoral process, illegally impounded funds, and neglected to use Scope and Bodyall.” I categorically deny ail of these charges; is this the face of a crook? There have been rumors that my health is not good that I get up in the middle of the night and play the piano, or walk around the house muttering: “Out, out, damn tapes.” This is untrue, for only last night while talking to Ike, I remembered that my wife Pat disliked my fondness for solitude, so I called her from the maid’s quarters and allowed her to sleep at the foot of the bed where she could verify that I do not have trouble sleeping. Of course the press is out to get me, I understand that there is a plot which has been concocted by Walter Cronkite and Irv Weinstein. This is not to say that I’m against the press I’m only attempting to uncover distortions and lies which, if believed by the American people, could reduce the value of my Presidential papers. What has happened is that my enemies have assumed ghostly form and have been sabotaging all of my efforts at peace and prosperity. They were the ones who planned the Watergate affair, they were the ones that misled my daughters who thought they were doing a patriotic duty [see last week’s Through the Looking Glass], they were the ones that subverted my accountant’s mind, . have been responsible for the they . . . not me havoc of my reign.

Editorial policy is determined by the Editor-in-Chief Friday, I February 1974 The Spectrum . Page seven . �09 O Stereo Misconcep tions To She Editor: To the Edit of. The sophomoric article by a Mark Tobak, Stereo Sense, requires some response. His lead sentence is that of a typical pseudo-authority, with no documentation other than his own sweeping generalities. Perhaps he would like to demonstrate his expertise by conjuring up a better loudspeaker than the Advent, for less than $102.00. His “all salesmen are crooks” attitude is an unwarranted reflection on sales people in general. Perhaps he should spend a little time on a sales floor where he would learn rather rapidly that a professional salesman does not survive if he has the attitude Tobak implies In our business we have good and bad sales people, just as others do. Tobak’s obsession with the dealer making a reasonable profit is the typical bleating of the “I want something for nothing” clan. If demonstration, display and service facilities are worth nothing to him, let him buy by mail, cash in advance, pay the freight, wait, then assemble the equipment. When he has a service problem,'! suggest he crawl in a mailbox and mail himself to his “discounter” for the answers. The comments on imports and discontinued items are as inane as the rest of the article, since many people enjoy, exotic or unsophisticated equipment, which is their privilege. Discontinued items are frequently a good buy in this business, as In regards to an article in your paper on Friday, January 25, 1974, entitled “Stereo Sense,” written by a Mark Tobak. in many others. Finally, I suggest to Tobak that he: 1) Change his column name to Stereo Nonsense. 2) Leave his upcoming untitled volume untitled. 3) Sell it only by mail so he won’t have to pay a spiff or percentage to a bookstore. 4) Sell it at cost since I’m certain he would not want to make a profit on it. F.M. Sound Equipment Corporation Robert F. Clifford, Manager - 1. Who is Mark Tobak? and what qualifications does he possess to write such an article? 2. Has Mark Tobak ever worked in a retail store? 3. Does Mark Tobak own a Stereo System and where did he obtain same? Where does Mark Tobak live? and for how , 4. long has he been in Buffalo? These are only a few of the questions that arises after reading an article that is derogatory, demeaning and utterly ridiculous. From the first sentence to the last, Mr. Tobak shows his ignorance about a profession that is no different than any other business. It is just that Mr. Tobak thinks he is a maven about the sound business. There is no business in the world that can succeed without making a profit. Every businessman is entitled to make a profit so as to pay expenses which include: payroll, utilities, insurance, rent, freight, maintenance, advertising, etc. The amount of profit depends on the services performed. It is evident that Mr. Tobak does not know what he is talking about when he talks about large profit margins. Most businessmen are competitive and try to stay that way. Most Buffalo area businessmen and all members of the N.F.H.D.A. have legitimate business expenses I listed above. All have service stereo equipment. All member merchants of the N.F.H.D.A. have sound rooms that require elaborate and expensive switching boxes so as to demonstrate the floor models which by the way cost the same as stock merchandise and which the manufacturer does not give away or even give a discount for display. This all costs money and therefore the merchants have to realize a profit on his investment. After all, he could close up shop and put his money in the bank and get Dealers Association to purchase stereo equipment. We would like to publicly retract the phrases involved, since Buffalo is no better or no worse a place to buy audio equipment. The same selling tactics that may be employed in Buffalo occur throughout the country, and in many industries besides hi-fidelity. In summation, we do not seek to to organize. Local Harvey S. Kardaman, President Niagara Frontier Hi-Fidelity Editor’s note: A recent The Spectrum article, /entitled Stereo Sense, has come under some fire from local hi-fidelity retailers. Their basic objection was to the first paragraph, which singled out Buffalo as an especially poor place workers in their attempt & It is people like Mr. Tobak who expect the local merchant to show and display the merchandise to him and then sends away for same. What does he think the local merchant is? A Museum? As for the other problems in buying mail order, I can only point to the Courier Action article in the Buffalo Courier Express on Sunday, January 6, 1974, It proves that it costs people more money in the long run than it saves. Mr. Tobak better enroll in the Business, Marketing and Merchandising classes offered at SUNY. He needs some consuling as he just showed his ignorance and proves he has no common sense when he penned his article. departments that require expensive test equipment Support your cafeteria sponsored pays. and knowledgeable service technicians. It is evident that Mr. Tobak has never required service to his STUDENTS!!! Ad 7 to 8 per cent profit or he could invest into long-term bonds. Mr. Tobak, in his article, shows his ignorance by forgetting about these expenses. Mr Tobak also shows his misconceptions about private label speakers. The reason a dealer handles private label speakers is the same as a supermarket carrying brand name food items. The quality and profit margins remain the same but the consumer like Mr. Tobak can save money by not paying for brand name, fancy box and fancy packaging material. The house brands also may be grade A, but not extra fancy. For this reason the merchant is justified in comparing a higher priced brand name with a speaker that is basically the same but with a lower price tag. As for the alternative of mail order purchasing, Mr. Tobak should realize that- most mail order concerns don’t have to display, demonstrate or stock merchandise. Because they work out of apartments and post office boxes, they don’t have the expenses a legitimate local businessman has. Also, mail order concerns get their money before goods are shipped and therefore deposit the money and start earning profit before goods are delivered, which in some instances are weeks and sometimes months long. Also, there is freight added which the consumer condemn Buffalo retailers, many of whom are conscientious and reliable, but rather seek to inform consumers of potential pitfalls when purchasing paid for by audio equipment. 66, Hotal and Raataurant amployees and Cafataria workers.

JAflMESEHIKERS by yotfo - 874-5705 - �The play's the thing; except in this case when it's all music by Jay Boyar Spectrum Arts Editor If you haven't seen Jacques Brel Is Alive and Well and Living In Paris, you may find it hard to believe that the play consists of 25 songs but, unlike most musical plays, there is no attempt to connect the songs using a plot-line or dialogue. Still, it is not as if a producer sad ones, happy ones, other ones grabbed a batch of tunes wrapped them together, and called them a play. The show, in spite of its dearth of literal unity, holds together as a play in the best sense of the word. It is cohesive; themes run throughout it. the show's Brel (or, at any rate, Eric Blair and Mort Shuman translators and creators) is full of irony. It is this attitude which gives the songs the added dimension of being a play. Brel is ironic about practically everything: war, death, politics, bull fights, and the Salvation Army. He even leers at the very songs he is writing and at the stage conventions he adopts. In fact, the only "sacred cow" he sometimes recognizes is the theme of "love," which is not very deep, and for which he appears to want to apologize. Really, he seems to wish he could be thoroughly ironic about love, but it's too human and has torched him too closely to, keep his mocking mask forever in place. When he is sincere, he is so by default. — — — Well-ordered His usually-mocking tone is what gives the play life; the grudging concession to love is what gives it heart. Because it seems to demand that it is only entertainment (like most popular songs are) and yet creates a simple moving theme in spite of itself, it succeeds as a beautiful evening of theater. When director Douglas Maxwell gave himself the task of bringing a play to Mr. Anthony's Restaurant, he was faced with some sticky circumstances. Mr. Anthony's is a rather swanky restaurant on Transit Road (between Sheridan and Maple) that has adopted the practice of showing a play after serving a buffet dinner. Problem was, after eating a dinner at a restaurant, some people would prefer listening to music (so they can talk to friends and not watch things too closely) while other people would feel cheated if their after-dinner entertainment was anything less than a legitimate play. 2 birds w/stone T t F D i a' a fl 4 S' # y It would seem, then, that Jacques Brel would be the perfect production for the restaurant. If a patron wishes to listen to music, he can do so without missing any plot; if he prefers a play, then by listening closely to the lyrics, the songs become one. Under ideal conditions, this might have been marvelous. The trouble is that while Brel has this love of irony. Maxwell and his cast fail to see it. Since the irony is not especially subtle, their missing it is even worse than it might have been. Without it, the production falls apart as a play and becomes just a series of isolated songs. Maxwell has approached the project as if it were an Ed Sullivan Show: little entertainments which follow one another. The only concession the songs make to one another's existence, in this particular production, is that if song "A" is a happy, up-sounding song, then song "B" must be sad, and song "C" happy again. We have contrast, then, but no cohesion Egg in face Because the songs exist alone without an ironic dimension, some unfortunate choices are made. For instance, the show contains a song called "The Statue" in which a statue curses the man that erected him and wrote on the plaque what a virtuous man the statue's subject was. Actually, the statue's subject was something of a scoundrel in life, and considers the statue-maker a self-righteous bastard. Clearly, this is a comic idea, but the thing is played throughout for stark, intense drama. The show's creators wouldn't want the actors to poke us in the ribs and grin, but at least we should be allowed to laugh.

Ghoulies and ghosties. Long-leggedy beasties and things that go BUMP in the night. Vampires. Werewolves. Kid stuff, discarded with sleepers, Maypo and tonsils. Right? Wrong. In his Illustrated History of the Horror Film, Carlos Clarens observes: "Horror films have been called all sorts of names, ranging from incitement to crime to psychotherapy of the masses." The same analytic minds that wax ecstatic over what the worst Westerns reveal about human nature dismiss the brilliance of Metropolis or The Bridge of Frankenstein as "Above average for this kind of trash" that average apparently being quite low indeed. The hoary old gag about God loving bad whatever's because he made so many of them can certainly be applied to the horror film; the field has produced more than its share of absolute dogs. But even this hardly justifies the lack of attention horror films have received. Their popularity alone (the form goes back as far as Georges Melies' work at the turn of the century) should prove them a fit subject for — As man learns how to accomplish more and more things that were once thought impossible, he picks up more of the powers that were once reserved for God. At no other time in history has there been a stronger argument for atheism than now. But even as we resent being under the dictates of theology, we don't like to believe that you're horn and you die, and that's it. Surely there has to be something, something that denies rational explanation but still exists, something that Man Was Not Meant to Know, something supernatural And it goes both ways, too. It's no good to believe in God if you don't have the courtesy to believe in the Devil. (How many people do you know who’ve neither read nor seen The Exorcist 7) Filmed science fiction covers a lot of this same ground. But any dramatic work, to get into someone's psyche, requires personal involvement that the bug-eyed monster just can't provide. If Godzilla destroys the entire world, the scope of the enterprise implies that someone (e.g., you) is going to be overlooked. Even if you do go, you'll have lots of company. ...

Fillmore Room - Norton Hall Admission is free �'Don'tLook Now'is in Buffalo; advice don't go see mystery - by Randi Schnur Assistant Arts Editor The secret life of the mind — the almost-undeniable power of forces over which few people outside of novels and films can have any control has always fascinated those of us who grew up with the more down-to-earth, - non-nonsense variety of brain. Unsatisfied or bored with the natural and the conscious, we search the supernatural and the ultra-conscious for answers, excitement, or whatever solutions we need most... and we end up with religion, ouija boards, and films like Don't Look Now, based on a Daphne du Maurier short story. John, an architect doing preliminary studies of a Venetian cathedral he has been commissioned to restore, and his conspicuously unproductive wife Laura are discovered drinking wine in the den of their English country home while their two young children play near the lake outside. John spills a curiously bloodlike drop of wine on the slide he is examining (the first of many examples of director Nicolas Roeg's misguided love for sophomoric symbolism) and immediately runs out of the house, alerted by some instinct he refuses to acknowledge, to find his son crying over the body of the little sister whose breath has stopped bubbling up from the lake's floor. There follows a great deal of screaming, shouting, and beating of chests and suddenly we are having lunch in Venice, six months later. ... Sightless seer In the restaurant, Laura meets Wendy and Heather, two middle-aged sisters from England. Heather is blind, but what she lacks in "first sight" she more than makes up for in second. She sees little Christine, she tells Laura. The dead girl is "laughing, she's as happy as can be." Heather knows what we suspect but Laura won't find out for another reel or so that Daddy will be up to see her very soon. Laura meets the weird sisters again outside the cathedral, where she decides that contacting her dead daughter would be much more fun than watching John crawl around on the walls. Instead of bringing the hoped-for news about how much she is enjoying life in heaven, however, Christine issues a stern warning to her father: Venice means death. He, of course, remains an incredibly imperceptive doubter through all the complications and — sub-complications of the plot, until about five minutes before his bloody-and-gory end, when he suddenly and quite inexplicably embarks on his own search for the lost child. No peaking What strikes one most about Don't Look Now, apart from the oppressive air of chic which almost suffocates it, is that the main characters really don't look. Although director Roeg pours enough shriekingly obvious symbolism over our heads to drown us all, his actors refuse to recognize even one of the dozens of hints and references to doom he provides. (Perhaps he intended them to be for our eyes alone; after all, having John comprehend enough to actually leave Venice would have left Roeg with only half a movie.) When Laura first described how John seemed to sense Christine's tragedy. Heather remarked that he definitely shared her extra sense. This news must have come as a big relief to her, for without it he would apparently have had no sense at all. All of the suspense and excitement that this film should have had was buried forever by Roeg's obvious love of overstatement. His camera lingered forever on every object it found, making ominously sinister whole rooms full of things that were never seen again and had no importance whatsoever. Only Hilary Mason, as the blind Heather, is really interesting. As their liaison with the secret world which fascinates Laura while it leads her husband to his death, she wears a wide-eyed, all-seeing stare which draws us into it as surely as it does the two of them. Flag warning Dolly shot This has been a big year for Venice in American films. Several months ago, Paul Mazursky celebrated it as a city for lovers in Blume in Love probably for no other reason than his own love of its calm, ear less medevial beauty. Roeg's motives are, as usual, more obvious; where but in the City of Water could a drowned girl have such influence over so many people? Trying disastrously to outdo everybody all over the place, he finally succeeded in topping at least the gorgeous photography of the earlier film. Photographer Anthony Richmond makes the bridges, cathedrals, and canal-side houses of Venice infinitely more interesting than the story itself, even though the beautiful complexity of the city's exteriors cannot quite compensate for the lack of it inside Scenes like the one in which John finds a discarded baby doll at the edge of the Grand Canal and carefully picks it up, pouring water out of every joint, must have been conceived as being profoundly symbolic; but they instead have the ultimate effect of mocking the drowned Christine and nearly everyone else in the movie. The screenplay by Alan Sott and Chris Bryant fits in well here; the film is extremely talky and slow, especially near the beginning of the Venetian segment, and whatever interest it might possibly spark is hammered right out of us again by Roeg's constant visual restatements of each line. Julie Christie and Donald Sutherland, both fine actors, are prevented from making the film work (a feat which — either *of them could conceivably have performed single-handedly under more favorable circumstances) by a framework which limits the development of Laura's and John's characters to the point where we can see them only as very loving, very clothes-conscious, very boring, and the characters. Don't Look Now is a slick, lavish, and ultimately unsatisfying film. Nicolas Roeg has overloaded it with enough good and bad ideas to fill up several less ambitious projects, and a little bit more simplicity might make his next work seem a lot more intelligent. pretty dumb.

Page eleven �■* The void and silence ofBeckett's 'Waiting for Godot' Photos by Kirstein Page twelve The Spectrum Friday, 1 February 1974 . . �by Michael Silverblatt Contributing Editor When Waiting for Godot was first performed in in Miami, in 1956, it was billed as the laugh sensation of two continents; winning. I'm sure one of Beckett's rare wan smiles. "I began to write Godot," Beckett says, "as a relaxation, to get away from the awful prose I was writing at that time." Waiting for Godot is Beckett's first play. When he began to write it he had already completed the novels Murphy and Watt, his trilogy ( Malloy, Malone Dies, The Unnameable), had published a book of early poems, and a book of short fiction. More Pricks than Kicks. America, Approaching death After the novels, the plays are important steps toward what seems to be Beckett's goal; silence, the isolation of the self, the soul at peace. Philosophy can be considered a meditation on death; to die well, to die honorably, to yearn to die, to fear death, to fear dying. In his work Beckett had contemplated almost every attitude toward death and sees it as a moment for which all life is a preparation. The preparation begins with isolation, the movement toward silence, the readiness to dispatch with the body, total peace and then, the Act itself. The plays foolow one another in progression. If Godot is a play about waiting. Endgame is a play about ending. Play by plaV Beckett sculpts, eliminates wastes, deletes the immaterial. Godot has five characters. Endgame four. Beckett writes a one-man show; a man, Krapp, talks to himself, records his last tape, reminisces his past, taped reminiscences. Beckett proceeds to immaterialize materiality itself. New plays follow. Plays with voices but without bodies the radio plays. Plays of the body without its voice the Estragon(Gogo) and Vladimir(Didi). A Master, Pozzo, and his slave. Lucky, happen by twice. The tramps consider hanging themselves from the tree, twice. Twice Godot's messenger comes to announce that Godot is indisposed, can't come, will come tomorrow. The tramps talk and wait. The missing guest And who is Godot? The critics (the dankest opprobium Gogo and Didi can find when they begin calling each other names is a triuphant "crrr—itic!") have wagged tongues endlessly. They notice, imagine, that there's God in Godot, they speculate, is a capital Dee'd Death. I am a trusting sort. I do believe that if a man is sane he is searching for something very much like his soul. I have a facility for smelling blood on the printed page. I believe that the true artist sweats to tell us what it is he knows. Beckett has said that if he knew what Godot was he'd have said it in the play. Godot would come. I believe the artist passionately. Godot is that for which we wait. Last week, a productionn of Waiting for Godot was presented, directed by Steven Adler, a member of the Center for Theatre Research, It was a creditable production, far from flawless, but consistently intelligent and right-minded. Andre Gregory and his Manhattan Theatre Project presented Endgame last year with a cast of approximately twenty (a four character play!). Punchlines were punctuated with pig—bladder thwacks. A son to his mother: Why did you bear me? Mother: I didn’t know it would be you. Thwack. I saw it and wept. I think that for Beckett's plays there exists a perfect, almost Platonic, mental production, toward which physical productions can only aspire. This production, directed by Adler, rates high for its sensitive aspirations. — — great commedians there've been. Each moment must be plotted, placed, timed. The two acts of the play are symmetrical; the staging must be planned to a hair-pin calibration. This is nearly impossible, but when has Beckett written or requested anything but the impossible? The acting in this production, with one touching exception, is on the whole rather bad. Gogo and Didi have been (perhaps too facilely) identified with the split between mind and body. This production seems to accept that interpretation. Thin, philosophical Didi; lumbering, hungry Gogo. Thin haggard Lucky, vocally corpulent, expansive Pozzo. The actors As Gogo, Steve Heisler displays an extraordinary talent. For all his bulk he is stunningly graceful. His comic sense is so precise it is hard to believe he is a student in a Theatre Program. I was delighted by him consistently. Didi, though, is played by Sam Drago, and it is hard to imagine a less considered performance in this role. He is too younng, both physically year-wise and emotionally actor-wise to understand the pain this role involves. To give Didi a character, he constantly emphasizes the odd word in each line an old actor's trick, to give the illusion of consideration and competence, swing the cadence off, reaccentuate the organization of the line. Unfortunately, I know of no writer who pays more attention to cadence than Beckett. The actor must lean in, give himself to Beckett's unique rhythm. Drago's odd line readings throw the meanings off, make him (he has a pleasant enough voice) a chore to listen to, and focus our complete attention on his partner Heisler, who, as I've said, is everything we'd want of a Gogo. Steve Adler's Lucky succeeds in reducing to mush the verbal texture of Lucky's thinking speech. Yes, it is gobbledyguck, noise, to us but it was once central to Lucky, everything he ever took seriously. Steve Classman's Pozzo is interesting for a while, but finally hollow and totally postured. The acid test is that when Pozzo returns, still vain, but blind and thoroughly pathetic, I felt no pain. A mistake w s made in casting a young woman in the role of the Boy, Godot's young son or attendant. Beckett's is not a male world, but it is a mono sexual world. The intusion of a woman(or of a man, in an all female production) throws off the balance. I will not judge her performance, likeable enough, it is the director's error. Steven Adler's direction shows a sensitivity to the play, it was, for all its flaws, a very honest production. — — Comic pain pantomimes. Some general comments though; Beckett's play, Finally, last year we encountered Not /; a spotlit mouth for some ten minutes sang its body's life's history. though about the void,-is a precise, exacting piece. It gives Beckett writes incessantly of the necessity for silence, for an actor stripes, it lashes. The humor is timed, with the the cessation os speech. After the novels, the plays come extraordinary timing of a Keaton, a Chaplin. Its humor, with the silences, pauses, blank spaces built in.

His pants leg was caught in his patent leather high-heels, and I was really worried he'd trip and fall right off the stage and just before he began I motioned to him and he looked down, probably to see if his fly was open, then he saw his cuff caught on his shoe and he laughed and played the next solo for me so sweet and blue and funky, like Picasso painting my self-portrait or Muhammad Ati landing a combination to my forehead. Freddie could make me listen to the national anthem (like you know who). Before he goes any further, he should really say something about CTI, the record company that produced this album. CTI has a habit of making sure their records live up exactly to expectations. There are no amazing discoveries in sound in the Trane tradition, and he's also sure they'll be excellently recorded and sound — ... - professional, oh let him think of some good analogy, like watching the Knicks beat Cleveland by fourteen points that's CTI if you're interested in good basketball. CTI also has a set of great musicians. They keep them chained in their dungeons and occasionally let them up to play on each other's records. So they get up into the studio and feel great about seeing each other, but they've been locked up so long none of them are anxious to break any rules or they'll be sent right back down to the dungeons for thirty lashes. Apparently most of them have died or escaped. For this album Freddie was forced to use his regular night club band. They're good musicians, and Junior Cook on tenor and Ralph Penland on drums were keeping things moving. But this is Freddie Hubbard's album, and the way he always plays makes it hard to forget it. In the sixties two monster jazz albums were made; Free Jazz, by Ornette Coleman and Acsension by Coltrane. Lots of other things happened in the sixties too, but only Freddie Hubbard played on both of those records. They're wild, searching albums and helped propel Freddie to the forefront of modern trumpeters, with all apologies due to Miles. Since then he's been a leader, and he's grown funky, and confident, blowing an amazingly full sound and doing things that are the envy of other horn men. I don't know if there is any place else to go with a trumpet minus electricity. I remember some fool (probably Hentoff) saying he could listen to Coltrane practice all day. But what was * M w Hr • ? v /** -231 H i*i'«l'4.irwi»< even more amazing about Trane were the compositions he wrote. Freddie puts together some fine songs, but they really aren't new, just good. This album sounds a hell of a lot like Red Clay, which is a hell of a criticism, since that's such a great album, but I guess I expect to see some movement on the part of my musicians. Ah fuck it I don't own Red Clay, and now I've got Keep Your Soul Together, and I'll most probably do just that. — — Jeffrey Benson Black Russian, gin and tonic.

So this was Charles Octet. I too had read the of being stayed away, afraid posters disappoihted at another slow gig. I grabbed a quick gin and tonic (the girl had apricot brandy) and we settled down along with the rest of the audience to hear what the band had to offer. The first song was called Orange and Red. Slowly the guitarist built a pattern of colors, the bass began to collide notes below, the drums, the organ, the sax, they kept building. There was a melody, then another, two sounds in the same place. I ordered a whiskey sour. This was no ordinary music. The song ended. I turned to the girl, who was itching to dance. Unbelievably the next song was a dance tune, and we glided to the dance floor hand in pocket, and swung to some flying rhythms. Everybody seemed to be having a good time. I generally don't like bars. The band kept smiling at each other. I don't blame them. I was anxious to get the girl to a more horizontal plane. We ordered another round, along, with a bowl of potato chips that kept sticking between her teeth. The band said "Last Revolutionary" and burst into this heavy rocker that had more speeds than my Mercedes. The sax soloed wild energy. The guitar and organ fought back. It was a sound wave chase to the last revolution. Charles Octet had come alive. I had go. My / r--------- Back and forth they went. Singing, rocking, swinging, but they were so young. I could see the influences. Hendrix, Pharoah, Cobham, and yet there was something else. Surely another big name. They said Charles Octet wrote all their songs. I'd have to see it to believe it. The band played two more numbers, and the girl and I exchanged funky glances over th£ bar. We danced to this song called “Schmaltz" and were layed back quiet by "Moonfull." The band said that was it, but the people yelled more and they played another for them, and had them dancing and laughing so their own parents couldn't have recognized them. This time they called it quits for good. I ordered a black russian to fill up the space and the band left. , I went up to talk to the musicians. Got their names. Norman Salant on tenor sax, Chris Locascio on clarinet, John Nicolas played bass, Chuck Hammer worked over a Les Paul, and Frank Post pounded the skins. All young guys, working hard. They complained about the small crowds it's an art for people to hear and push the musicians. They brought up the concert they'll be doing with the Firesign Theatre on February 22. That'll be their big chance and you can bet they'll play on fire. — I went back to Jhe girl. Her head lay resting on the wooden bar. She had finished my black russian and a shot of prune whiskey.

Later that day I had the golden opportunity to meet Elaine and discuss her work. I must admit that upon first viewing her photographs I was disenchanted. The print quality and its visual layout (mounting, spotting) was below a level that is usually shown in the music room. Yet iooking at her work, I felt a certain enchantment. The more I looked and began to see, the more I became involved with her photos of Guatemala. They seemed to me to display a youthfulness that was on the verge of maturity. And it was this bridge that attracted my eye. Elaine spent a year in Guatemala and has taught art in an American high school in Mexico City. She is presently here in Buffalo working on her M.A.H. degree. First explorations During her stay in Guatemala, her friend Marilyn Day (a photographer from the V.S.W.) convinced her to start photographing. Elaine, despite her art background, had never explored herself through the photograph. So this was her first directed use of the recording eye and its product. We talked about her photographing experiences, and one important idea she insisted upon was that she did not want her camera to be intrusive, to enter into the people's normal midstream. In her observation of the Indians she wanted, in a sense, to be a silent recorder. There was also a need to know the people whom she was shooting, to interact with them and learn from them. To Elaine, her photographs revealed the presence of the Indians' own special dignity. She strongly felt that her images exposed the difference between the American and the Indian, especially concerning the female aspects of the culture. In fact, the images reflect her understanding and the reality that she saw and understood. Breaking new ground My own feeling about the work is that it is exploratory. Do not look upon it as ground already conquered but as the photographer's exploration of a new map, showing only part of the territory. Before making a judgment, you must experience the work through your own filters. Elaine brought up the fact that the artist had no say on how the work would be presented to the public. I am sure that we are all capable of understanding the importance of the position of each work in relation to the rest of the show and its effect upon the viewer. I wonder if this ignorance of the artist's wishes is normal policy in the gallery? We must remember that the name and the reputation of the artist is determined by the public's reaction to the work. Being new in Buffalo, Elaine had the feeling that there should be a place where people in the field can get together, show their work, and meet people with similar interests. Just that is happening. At 3051 Main Street (near Minnesota Avenue), a non-profit organization is starting to get its feet wet. Its name is CERA, Center for the Exploratory and Performing Arts. The center is planning to have a photographic and related media gallery, and to hold photography, filmmaking, creative writing (led by local poets) and crafts classes. It will be opening in mid-February, and at present is looking for volunteers, equipment, and people interested in teaching in certain areas. For more information call CERA at 837-0195. FOR ALL 'Jacques Brel'... number of other songs. An even more disturbing tact is taken by the company when they actually recognize some of the more obviously funny portions in Brel, and play them for comedy. Almost without exception, they turn it into BROAD comedy with wily winks, embarassing "funny" facial grimaces, and smiles that shine like a studio "laughter" sign. Subtlety is completely abandoned in favor of burlesque. Check The principle offender here is George Magill; he looks like a more demonic Ron Hunter. Everything he does is entirely cutesy and contrived. Too bad actually, he has an interesting face which goes to waste everytime he moves. Joshya BoDaniel is just as guilty as Magill, but BoDaniel's soft, sad eyes and lamb's wool-like hair give him an endearing quality that usually saves him from looking too foolish. Alice Evans has just slightly better luck than the rest of the company at coping with Brel's irony, but she succeeds by throwing up her arms, resolving to do the best she can with the individual songs, and then going right ahead making each tune a beautiful, rich world in itself. She has such enormous control, class and experience (at least, ease) that she twists a song into something complete and her own. Also, she is fortunate in being spotlighted in some of Brel's more essentially — —continued from page MA/j^ m 9— Would you like to serious songs which don't demand much of a recognition of the unifying ironic intent The fourth member of the cast, Neva Rae Powers, doesn't really express much depth, but she is personable and that is about all. Oh yes, she has a nice, rich singing voice. In fact, each of the four members of the cast has a good voice; the quartet's tones blend smoothly together like the ingredients in a creamy milkshake. My objection is not that Mr. Anthony's is presenting something that is only entertaining. It is, rather, that they have selected a play that could be so much more than just entertaining, but it is sold down the river. Had they selected a show that was obviously and thoroughly a piece of fluff, and had they done it well, I would have no complaint. While this review may appear largely unfavorable (it is), that does not really matter very much because, in spite of everyting else, the show is entertaining. Since all that most people expect is some kind of entertainment, then this show should please them. Brel’s songs are often comic and occasionally very touching. Perhaps his most famous tune in this country, If We Only Have Love, has been played a zillion times on AM radio. And since music is always so much more vital and exciting at a live performance than on the radio, Mr. Anthony's production of Jacques Brel Is Alive and Well and Living in Paris is worth a look. While it fails as theater, it has limited success as night club entertainment. O meet some other couples? Have i- some fun, fellowship, and m c/) —I JO > > food?

He urged them to get the facts on how the oil companies operate by pressuring their representatives and cooperating with consumer investigative groups, such as the Western New York Public Interest Research Group (WNYPIRG). Public apathy will allov the industry to ignore pollution controls and jeopardize the entire country for their own narrow interests, he cautioned.

Rick Feuerstein Student Legal Aid Clinic This article is the first in a series of four articles that concern Contracts and Legal Promises. Contracts are the promises between two mutually agreeing parties that have the characteristic of being a consentual relationship that is enforceable by law. One week ago Tuesday, some friends and I took a taxi to Shellkev’s Seafood for a quick dinner. After this delightful departure from my usual Grape-Nuts and milk dinner (quite economical), I began to wonder what the legal aspects of this night on the town were especially in the area of ordering the meal, quickly devouring it and finally paying for it. After many painstaking hours of perspicacious research, 1 narrowed down the area into a specific topic of law. The action I involved myself in, unknowingly, was that of a simple or informal contract; particularly an informal-implied-in-fact contract that met all of the requirements for making this contract valid. Confusing? The terminology sounds complicated especially when ordering the dinner was so simple, however the elements of this agreement are actually quite simple when explained. The area of implied contracts is one where the agreement is inferred from the conduct of the two parties involved and not specifically from the words stated. To qualify this, we can generally say that most people who engage in this form of contract don’t realize that a contract is actually present and is enforceable by law. The reason for this is that usually it is such a simple matter we engage ourselves in every day (like getting on a bus and paying as we leave) that we don’t think of it as a legal obligation. The rudiments necessary for forming a simple or informal contract are relatively basic. An informal contract is one that derives its binding effect from the substance of the transaction and from compliance with the requirements for a binding contract. Most contracts are of this kind. The first element is the offer. The second is the acceptance or promise. The two elements directly relate to the area of “mutual assent.” This simply means an agreement between both parties that pays homage to the basic nature of a contract as a relationship between the parties established by their consenting to being bound by the terms of an arrangement they have agreed upon. The third essential element is that of “consideration.” Consideration is a kind of price one party pays for the binding effect of appther’s promise. It can be money, but in general, it is the conduct or promise of conduct of one party given in exchange for the conduct or promise of conduct of the other party; similar to when you enter a taxicab and say “follow that car.” If the cab driver is on duty and follows it, then he has given the offer substantial consideration. When this type of contract is made, you, the patron who got into the cab, actually says: “I will pay you whatever the bill amounts to if you will follow that car.” The payment is implied as soon as your offer is transmitted. The contract is completed when the element of “performance” has been adhered to, and the promise of conduct expected is “performed.” This transforms the contract into one that is executed because it is completely performed. An executory contract is one that has not been completely performed and arises when partial completion of the promise has been given due consideration. To explain my eventful Tuesday evening at Shellkev’s and the contract that followed, we can see that the contract was created when I entered the restaurant, ordered the meal, and then consumed it. Even though I, the patron, nor Lou, the waiter, never used the words involved in a contract such as “offer, accept” or “promise,” a contract to pay the price of the meal was entered into and was enforceable by law. The contract was sufficiently performed by Lou and, therefore, when I paid for the meal, my end of the bargain was performed and the contract was completed. To explain how the contract could have been breached by the chef, we could hypothetically cite a case where, if I had specifically ordered a hamburger, medium rare, on a sesame roll, and received due to some error on the part of the management, a cheeseburger, well done, on a rye roll, with chopped onion. In this case I wouldn’t have received what the offer denoted and, therefore, would not be liable for payment (my consideration) of the subject delicacy. On the other hand, if 1, due to some mistake in transmitting the offer to the waiter, had ordered something I didn’t want, then it would hlave been my own negligance and I would be liable for payment. This area of contracts is, as its name implies, simple and informal. The law implies that there is or is not a valid contract from the words and conduct between the two parties. Let us not however confuse the simplicity of this form of contract with the enormous area of formal or written contracts such as checks, promissory notes, leases (written), etc. This area of contracts is one that can be extremely confusing and intricate especially in terminology and interpretation. Many questions arise from these kinds of contracts that affect almost everyone, because of this we must be very conscious of the stipulations within these before we commit ourselves to one.

Amtrak Anotherlook at the railways in the days of the energy crisis by Seth Baskin inter-city cruisers is enough to make entire towns gasp. As the cost of fuel increases and airlines are forced to cut back services and raise their fares, the Amtrak rates which officials say will remain constant will look even more appealing to travelers. The railroads arc currently enjoying a wave of popular approval and romantic admiration that would have made their 19th century critics role over in their graves. New York Times columnist Tom Wicker recently devoted his column to the benefits and drawbacks of a train ride between Haven, N.C. and Washington, D.C. Ticketing and reservations services could be improved by adopting more efficient means of keeping track of records, he said. The stations, which he called rememberances of a period of architectural grandeur characteristic of a bygone age, were well-kept and courteously staffed. Schedule arrival times were fairly accurate. The equipment used was “mediocre” while food and service en route were termed “favorable.” Spectrum Staff Writer America’s railways have begun to play an increasingly important role in passenger and freight transport since the energy crunch developed into a crisis last November. With their present equipment they have the resources to save fuel, reduce noise and curb air pollution emissions. They also provide a reasonable money-saving alternative to air travel. The nation’s inter-city rail links were organized into a federal corporation known as Amtrak nearly two years ago. The purpose of the new set-up was to coordinate and improve rail service wherever possible and to promote new services wherever feasible. As the threat of fuel rationing and increased gasoline costs grows greater, Amtrak may be playing a more important role in student efforts to travel home for the holidays and see the country during vacation <■' periods. If the inter-city rail lines are to be successful, they must be able to compete on equal terms with the airlines and buses. Cost will be a major consideration. - ‘ Air vs. rail A round-trip flight from Buffalo to New York City costs the passenger $69 27. If he chooses to go first-class, the fare increases to $89 The present youth fare discounts will be discontinued as of May 31. Approximate travel time on the Buffalo-New York air route is 50 minutes. However, when you include taxiing time, luggage pick-up, and travel to and from the airport, the time can add up to several hours. Round trip Buffalo-to-New York on Amtrak costs $41. The savings is approximately $30, and after several trips a year, the savings can amount to a substantial sum. The major drawback to rail travel is the time factor. A train ride from Buffalo to New York will take over eight-and-one-half hours. The train passes through numerous small towns and villages, stopping at stations whose names have vanished into the texts of New York Central Histories. The scenery ranges from objectionable in the industrial centers of the western part of the state to the breathtaking beauty of a trip down tracks delicately carved between the Catskills and the Hudson River. Appealing rates Bus service also involves a long ride. The price is comparable to Amtrak, but the seating arrangements are often cramped, the scenery consists of Thruway periphery, and the noxious emissions of the Quadruple efficiency The energy consurtaptioufactor in rail travel arc a prime consideration. A recent report listed trains as four times more efficient than automobiles in fuel used per passenger mile, and five times more efficient than airlines. Railroads also account for a considerable amount of long-distance freight carried. In 1970 they transported about twice as much freight as inter-city trucks. Because they are able to carry larger loads, trains spend less actual time travelling. This factor alone has had a dramatic effect on the environment. Recent studies indicate that trucks use four to six times as much fuel and produce substantially more air pollutants that railroads carrying comparable payloads. Long-distance rail travel still presents a number of problems. Most of the inter-city routes are operated with diesel engines. These engines represent an outmoded technology and emit considerable air pollutants. The alternative would be electric locomotives. Less than one per cent of this country’s railroads are electric, compared to roughly 37% in Europe and Japan. Locomotives running on electricity produce virtually no air pollutants. The power plants supplying the electricity to the rail lines produce far less carbon monoxides, nitrogen oxides and and hydrocarbons than diesels (per unit of fuel consumed .) The cost of converting to electricity was beyond the means of the independent privately-owned rails. With the formation of Amtrak, there is the hope that steps will be taken to provide even more beneficial service to the environment. Educational projects created for local residents by CAC We in the education area of Community Action Corps have been working on some major changes. Since 1965, CAC has had volunteers working within ten tutorial projects. Over the span of 8 years, the needs of the community have expanded greatly, while CAC’s awareness and contacts have remained virtually the same. During the past few months, we went full force into developing contacts, programs, and organizations facilities that deal with educational services. We believe that we have built the beginnings of a “Resource Center” which would allow for a range of interests and involvements from students from the departments of Occupational Therapy, Physical Education, Teacher Education and Speech and Hearing. We also feel that this type of set-up provides for a constant ongoing search for new ideas from both community contacts, students and the children we work with. Friendship House in Lackawanna, Tonawanda Indian Action Program and Creative Learning Project at UB have a core group of people working collectively in teaching children with various learning problems. This semester for the first time as an experiment, people working in Creative Learning Project will not only be working with children, but will also be required to participate in a weekly seminar that will deal with different aspects of learning, teaching, tutoring and the schools, so that volunteers begin to have a broader awareness of each child’s life as a whole rather than simply an understanding of his other learning disabilities. We Friday, are working on getting students deserved credit for their work and commitment. Along with these 3 large established projects, we have lists of people in Buffalo who are looking for interested students to fill positions in several areas. In educatipn we have contacts assisting in high school equivalency programs, elementary remedial reading classes and after school programs. In special education there are openings in working with mentally retarded, emotionally disturbed, physically handicapped, learning disabled, and speed impaired children in classroom, recreational and clinical settings. In alternative Education, people would be assisting in teaching various skills and activities in free schools. We meet with volunteers to discuss specific interests so that we can appropriately place them. All placements have been visited beforehand to make sure that adequate supervision will be provided for people who have not had the opportunity to develop skills in working tfith children. We have been working on developing a resource library of books, magazines, pamphlets and addresses of materials which certain information, ideas and awareness into a deep understanding of the complex workings of children who are trying desperately to survive in a world where so little is geared towards them.

Just dial 831-5000 or visit the Action Line booth in the Center Lounge in Norton Hall for individual attention. The Office of Student Affairs and Services will investigate all questions and complaints, and will answer them individually. The name of the individual originating the inquiry is kept confidential under all circumstances. The more common questions will be answered in this column each week. NOTE: Today, February I, 1974, is the last day to initially register without the Dean ’5 approval. It is also the last day to drop courses without financial liability and without having an “R assigned. ” Q: 1 am interested in the Visiting Student Program. Can you give me some information about it? A: The Visiting Student Program enables students to attend other universities or colleges on a semester basis or for a year without really transferring out of SUNYAB. You must apply to the school which you would like to attend and be accepted. Until recently, you would register for DUS 485, a special course which kept your enrollment at SUNYAB active. This is no longer in effect. Now you must fill out a Special Action Request form which will enable you to register for courses at SUNYAB once you return. It is strongly recommended that you see your academic advisor in Diefendorf if you are interested in this program. Q: What is the train schedule from Buffalo to New York? A: Amtrack has four (4) trains a day two in each direction making the Buffalo-New York run. Eastbound, trains leave Buffalo daily at 8:25 a.m. and 1:15 p.m. The 8:25 train arrives in Albany at 1 ;55 p.m. and in New York at 4:55 p.m. The 1:15 p.m. train arrives in Albany at 6:50 p.m. and in New York at 9:50 p.m. Westbound, trains leave New York’s Grand Central at 8:30 a.m. and 1:00 p.m. The 8:30 train arrives in Albany at 11:20 a.m. and in Buffalo at 5:00 p.m. The 1 p.m. train arrives in Albany at 3:50 p.m. and in Buffalo at 9:30 p.m. - — Q: Why can’t you get a transcript if you haven’t paid your tuition? A: The biggest reason is that it is one of the few ways in which the University can collect its bills (esp. when the student has left). A transcript is one of the few things that you may need from a school. Therefore, there is a strict policy that no transcripts will be sent unless all bills are paid. There are few, if any, exceptions to this policy. Q; Can you give me some information about the Undergraduate Grievance Procedures? Who should I contact? What should I do? A: As stated in the Grievance Procedures for Undergraduate “A grievance shall include but not be restricted to a complaint by an undergraduate student; (1) that there has been to him a violation, misinterpretation, or inequitable application of any of the Regulations of the University, Division of Undergraduate Studies Faculty, or Department or, (2) that he has been treated unfairly or inequitably by reason of any act or condition, which is contrary to established policy or practice governing or affecting undergraduate students.” There are various levels at which a grievance may be filed or appealed. Copies of the grievance procedures are available in the Student Association office, 205 Norton, or in the Office of Student Affairs and Services, 201 Harriman. For further information or help, contact Dr. Ronald Stein or Ron Dollmann in 201 Harriman, 831-3721.

Rubin Staff Writer Spectrum Athletics is Buffalo. Yet fields one of teams in the hardly big news at Buffalo annually the better fencing northeast due, in part, to the efforts of coach Sidney Schwartz. Schwartz, now in his 28th season, has been coaching longer than any active Bull headman. Schwartz has led Buffalo swordsmen to ten North Atlantic Regional championships, far more than any other school. He organized the regional tournament in 1950 and is still the chairman of the tournament committee. Schwartz and fencing go back over forty years to his boyhood in New York City. “I lived in Brooklyn near Madison High School, and the fencing team used to practice in the schoolyard,” he reflected. “1 was an and 1 used to watch them and I thought I’d like it. So, when 1 came to Buffalo, there was a good YMCA group downtown. I took fencing lessons from an old Italian barber. Then I went to the University of Buffalo. They had just started a team the year before 1 went there. I went there in ’36 and was on the team in ’37, ’38, ’39, and ’40, eleven-year old THE ALBOMALOT OF PEOPLE HAVEBEEN ASKING FOR IS AVAILABLE AGAIN! THE SOUL OF A CITY BOY JESSE COLIN YOUNG Soul Of A City Boy has been out of print for six years and in that time has become a collector's item. It is not an old record, it is Jesse’s first record and still one of his best. - (GuattfC') Stuart Kutchins Inverness, California December, 1973 Schwartz takes over After the 1940 season, Schwartz took over the coaching duties on a part time basis. He remembered: “We only went a couple of years after I graduated of the war. We couldn’t get equipment and there were no men in the school. So, they discontinued the sport for four years. In 1945, however, fencing was reorganized at Buffalo, and one year later Schwartz became coach. Schwartz’s squads have compiled an overall record of 342-132. Schwartz has coached four all-Americans, while at the same time holding down a job with the Internal Revenue Service. Schwartz now is the owner of one of the newest, largest, and most beautiful facilities of the McDonald’s restaurant chain. The eatery, located in Niagara Falls, Ontario, is being run mostly by Schwartz and his son Ira. Since its opening last August, Schwartz has been beseiged by heavy work loads and huge bills, but plans to reap the profits soon. “Next summer we should make enough money here to not have the worries I have about financing now,” he predicted. McDonald’s detracts from Schwartz’ coaching time in the same way that his government job did. How can a team which has relatively little practice (6-8 hours per week) consistently win more often than lose? Schwartz explained, “There’s a couple of reasons for that. Fencers are a different kind of athlete than basketball or football players. For the most part, they’re dedicated. For years we had no money for fencing at all at the University. The boys that wanted to fence had to pay their own expenses. The reason we have a pretty good team today is that we get some pretty experienced fencers. People come to us and ask if we can get them into school.” WU1 stay on Schwartz has no intention of retiring from coaching. He said, “I’d like to see them get a full time coach. If they would get a full time coach, 1 would step down and help the coach. In fact, 1 was hoping Jules (Assistant Coach Jules Goldstein) would take it this year, but his job is nights too.” As far as this year’s team is concerned, Schwartz is quite pleased with the Bulls’ 6-1 record. He observed, “I didn’t think we would be doing as well as we are doing. The scores we’re winning are tremendous scores. by [Buffalo has outscored its opponents 147-72 this season.) You usually, don’t find that.” As for tomorrow’s match against Hobart, Schwartz had this to say: “We’ll beat Hobart. We won’t have any trouble there.” Friday, 1 February 1974 . The Spectrum . Page twenty-one �Alumni selling tickets to earn money for Bull scholarships by Dave Geringer Sports Editor v An increase in scholarship monies at Buffalo is the probable result of a plan announced Wednesday by the Alumni Association. 2000 tickets to the Buffalo Braves-Los Angeles Lakers game at Memorial Auditorium Feb. 26 will be sold by the alumni in conjunction with United Auto Workers union local 1173. The proceeds will be donated to the Buffalo scholarship foundation and conceivably be used for basketball scholarships. “We were given the tickets by the Braves management,” reported Alumni News editor Bill Dock. “We get a percentage of the face value.” Alumni Association executive director Dave Michael disclosed the steps taken to arrange the ticket sale: “We had this idea in mind when we were approached by the UAW’s community services director, Leo Lamb. They had the idea that they would sell tickets for a Braves game with the proceeds to go to the scholarship fund. They wanted to play a preliminary game at the Auditorium (local 1173 will face local 774 in the prelim to the Braves contest Feb. 26). They also wanted the community exposure. We went to the Braves and (owner) Paul Snyder, an alumnus, was very receptive.” Hope for future Michael was hopeful that similar arrangements could be made in the future. “Let’s hope it is the start of something bigger,” said Michael. “We’ve got the Braves, the university and the UAW all working together. The more we can do of this, the more we will do everybody wins. The Braves profit from the gate sale, we get scholarship money and the union gets good community exposure.” - Michael revealed several possibilities fo t the future. “We have in the works a concept for a high school all-star football game. They used to have one in Buffalo, but they dropped it. The game would he played right here at Rotary Field, and the proceeds could be twenty to forty thousand dollars, which could be used for research. We would also like to work something out with the Bills,” Michael added. Basketball Bulk drop a pair on road trip Klym —with a puck a record breaker 5 The basketball Bulls ran their FAIRFIELD road record to ten defeats without a victory this week, dropping a pair of second-half decisions to Catholic and Fairfield Tuesday and Wednesday nights. Buffalo was on the short end of a 33-30 score at halftime against Fairfield before dropping an 84-58 decision to the Stags, now 7-o at home this season. Tuesday, in the nation’s capita), the Bulls wasted a 48-41 advantage at intermission and lost a 91-84 thriller to the Cardinals. Catholic, led by forward Bob Adrian’s game-high 28 points, raced back from their seven-point deficit to gain a 71-71 deadlock. The Cards then ran off six points and took an 81-77 lead before Adrian fouled out with five minutes to go. The Bulls pulled to within two at 86-84 and had a chance to knot the score when Ken Pope, who tallied 17 points had a short jumper go in and out with 26 seconds left. Buffalo outrebounded Catholic 49-43 and again tied the school assist record for the third straight game. Buffalo shot a torrid 61% from the field in the first half, winding up at 46% for the game. - Bulls determined The Bulls came out the next night against a far superior Fairfield squad and seemed determined to make up for their poor performance against the Cardinal (4-11). Buffalo came out in a full-court zone press and forced the Stags into ten first-half turnovers, five by co-captain John Ryan. The 6-3 senior guard, who failed to score during the game, handed out eight of his fifteen assists in the first half and made a key steal of a pass from the Bulls’ Gary Domzalski as Buffalo was stalling for the last shot of the half, while down by 3.1-30. Buffalo’s Otis Home scored on a layup midway through the half to pull the Bulls to within 55-44 before Fairfield turned on the Richie O’Connor show. O’Connor, a senior transfer from Duke, sat out last season before being named the Stags’ co-captain without having played a minute in a Fairfield uniform. In the next five minutes, O’Connor outscored Buffalo 13-2 on his way to game scoring honors with 25 points. The burst doubled the Stags’ lead to 22, virtually wrapping up the contest and giving Fairfield a 10-5 season log. Stags control boards Fairfield’s 6-11 center, Craig Moorer, snatched 18 rebounds to lead the Stags to a 55-31 command of the boards. Horace Brawley scored 18 to lead the Bulls’ scoring. Fairfield coach Fred Barakat was overly praiseworthy of the Bulls. “Buffalo’s a good team, they did some nice things out there,” remarked the Stag mentor in a post-game interview. ‘They’re a well-disciplined club. They forced us into 23 turnovers,” Barakat added. What Barakat failed to mention was that thirteen of the 23 occurred late in the second half with reserves seeing most of the action. The Bulls returned home to face Colgate tomorrow night in Memorial Auditorium. Hockey Bull skaters to match blades with Division I foe Colgate The hockey Bulls will make their third and final attempt this season to defeat an ECAC Division I squad when they invade Colgate’s Starr Rink tomorrow night. The Red Raiders are 6-12-1, coming off wins over Clarkson (3-2) and Division II opponent Massachusetts (11-2). The latter victory broke an eight-game losing streak. The key to the Raider fortunes this year has been goaltender Chris Grigg, who has played all but five minutes of the season. “Grigg has been consistently inconsistent,” related Colgate DSI Dave Leonard. “He looks like he could beat any team in the National Hockey League on Saturday night, then on Wednesday night any junior high school team could put the puck by him,” Leonard added. Veteran Clarkson braodcaster Con Elliot analyzed Tuesday’s 3-2 Colgate victory over Clarkson (which conquered Buffalo, 6-2, earlier this season). “Clarkson would have the pressure on and then a guy would take a pass, sneak out, go down the ice and score,*’ remarked Elliot. “They must have had five breakaways against Clarkson. The difference was Grigg. He played very well.” Colgate adapts Leonard reported that Colgate did not use the same style at all times. “We’re adaptable,” decided Leonard. “It depends on the people we play. If we play a close-checking team, we’ll probably dump and run. If we play a team that lays back, we’ll probably carry it in. We just had too much speed for Massachusetts. Our wingers went around their defensemen all the time,” Leonard added. The Bull defense will be bolstered by the return of top rearguard Mark Sylvester, who missed the past three contests due to a knee injury. Don Maracle, whose 48 saves against the Raiders in last season’s 4-3 loss at Holiday Twin Rinks earned him ECAC weekly honors, is the probable starter tomorrow night. “The way he’s played in the last two games, I have to go with him,” said Buffalo coach Ed Wright. ftige twenty-two The Spectrum . Friday, 1 February 1974 . The naming of Buffalo right wing Mike Klym to the ECAC Weekly all-star team last week is another in the series of accomplishments that Klym has achieved in his record-breaking 1973-74 hockey season. Klym has broken five records so far this season and tied another. Klym set three marks by scoring five goals and four assists a 19-6 victory over in Framingham en route to the AIC Tournament’s MoSt Valuable Player award. Klym broke records for most goals and points in a period (four and six, respectively) and most goals in a game (five) while tying the standard for points in a contest (nine). Mike has also taken over the lead in career goal and point races. Klym now has 66 career goals and 120 career points, while his 54 career assists leave him second to Bill Newman’s 60. Klym attributes his success at least partially to playing a different style this season, concentrating on passing as well as shooting. “I’m playing a better style of hockey,” revealed Klym. “Passing was the thing 1 didn’t do much of the last two years now it’s paying off. Also, I’m playing with Johnny (Stranges). Johnny’s scoring goals this year so that adds up,” said Klym. Klym discussed his shooting - style: “Coach (Wright) has been telling me to keep the puck low. I’ve learned how to keep my shot down my first couple of years I always around the was goal tender’s head. As long as you keep it down, the goal tender hasn’t got that much to stop it with,” decided Klym. Klym affirmed that his experience working with Stranges had been helpful. “What I need is a lefthanded center, someone who can give me the puck,” said Klym. “1 played with Johnny last year and we work well together. If I’m breaking, he’s going to give me the puck and vice versa.” Bull coach Ed Wright assessed Klym’s play: “Mike has matured and become a more complete player. He’s moving the puck better, playing better defense and establishing himself as a leader. I think that he has to work on his defensive play and maintaining his position. If he can do the job defensively, his professional chances are excellent,” Wright added. Klym revealed that his plans included pro hockey. “Definitely, I want to try for pro, as soon as possible,” said Klym. “If I can keep having a good year, it is all the better.” It will be all the better for both Klym and the hockey Bulls’ drive for the ECAC playoffs. - IF YOU’RE GOING TO GATHER IN THE AFTERNOONS, WHY NOT TRY “YOUR PLACE” DISCOTHEQUE f formerly The Beehive) 864 Kenmore Aue. 874-6512 FREE play juke box BEER 25c glass, $1.45 Pitcher 50c Cocktails 65c $ 1.00 OFF ON ANY PIZZA!

Exception to the one credit/one contact B.A. degree.” The Senate report quoted hour formula could be made in courses the GRE testing director as saying that with laboratories or “unusually heavy” comparative GRE scores “indicate nothing outside research and assignments, if about the quality of undergraduate permission is granted by the Division of education.” It also criticized the allegations that students were receiving Undergraduate Studies (DUS), Dr. only Gelbaum advised in a memo to President four-fifths of the education that they did Robert Ketter. The AAC also under the five-course system: “All such recommended a flexible system of courses statements erroneously assume a 1:1 worth five, four, three and two credits, and relationship between learning and class speculated about the possibility of hours.'” The Faculty-Senate report did reducing degree requirements from 128 to suggest that each department scrutinize its 120 credits. ‘The gain produced by the curriculum to try to determine an ‘one for one’ system recommended will far appropriate credit system for various types of courses. outweigh the 6% loss” of a reduction to 120 credits, wrote Dr. Gelbaum. Greater concentration sought 1; 1 ratio ‘erroneous’ Before 1968, most courses were worth The recommendations will be three credits each and students had to take considered today by a closed session of the five courses each semester in order to Faculty-Senate executive committee.

Tlje present system spring the AAC proposed that the current of a four-credit, four-course load was four-course load had led to a sharp decline introduced with the idea that if students in education as measured by Graduate could take one less course each term, they Record Examination (GRE) scores and could concentrate more on each subject. should be changed. However, a Most courses thus became worth four Faculty-Senate subcommittee studied the credits without increasing classroom matter and reported last May that the instruction time, on the assumption that four-course load should not be changed more time would be allotted for outside because it had not resulted in “a significant research, reading and assignments. decline in the breadth or quality of the The AAC’s renewed suggestion to return to the five-course load took into account the surveys conducted by various department heads and provosts among their constituents as to their feelings on the four-course load system. Arts and Letters Provost John Sullivan said he discussed the issue at departmental meetings, and the majority favored a resolution stating the one hour/one credit system was acceptable provided it was on a University-wide basis and not a Faculty basis. “Some thought courses had not significantly changed under the four-course load system,” he added. while such representation would be inappropriate, “we won’t discuss anything affecting students without inviting students to the AAC. I’m incredulous that he allowed the decision after he verbally told me he’d hold off on any issue affecting students until students could be present,” Mr. Dandes said. ‘The retention of the four-courseload is the most important issue to students on this campus. Dr. Gelbaum’s failure to consult with us is a political move and totally inconsistent with the policy he expressed to me a month ago.” Said SA vice-president Dave Saleh: “1 feel Dr. Gelbaum lied to students in this ‘No reason educationally’ instance.” In the History department, reported chairman Clifton Yearly, the Doesn’t involve students “overwhelming sentiment” was that there “Students will be consulted by the was ”no reason educationally to switch President,” said Dr. Gelbaum when Mr. back.

University President Robert Ketter subsequently reinstated five of the cancelled courses and allowed the others two weeks to comply with University regulations. Student and faculty reactions to Dr. Gelbaum’s cancellations were widespread and varied. In a letter to Dr. Ketter last week, Student Association (SA) President Jon Dandes wrote that it would be in the best interests of the students and all parties concerned if “Vice President Gelbaum [were to] be relieved of his administrative responsibility and be replaced with someone who can deal realistically and effectively with our different academic concerns.” “Any real progress or communication between students and the Administration remains impossible with Administrative ‘monolith’ “Given the tenor of this campus,” commented Dr. Kennedy on the possibility of replacing Dr. Gelbaum, “I don’t think there is anyone else in the administration who. would be any better.” A similar view was expressed by American Studies professor Lillian Robinson: “We have to realize that the administration is a monolith and is not made up of individuals. He [Gelbaum] is not unique in his non-progressiveness, although on this issue it may appear this way. They all act pretty much the same.” Ms. Robinson, however, felt that Dr. Gelbaum’s removal from office would serve a purpose. “Once we don’t have Qclhaum, we can see how much more there is to be done. It would accomplish the limited purpose of letting individuals know the power of public pressure,” she said. Much of the criticism being leveled at Dr. Gelbaum has referred to his past record as Academic Affairs vice-president, viewing the College E course cancellations as the latest in a series of controversial actions. Often cited as a source of criticism is Dr. Gelbaum’s appointment of H. Curtis Bennett, whom the Collegiate Assembly rejected 9-1 as its director, as his Assistant for the Colleges. “I don’t think it was a good idea,” asserted William Stein, professor of Anthropology. ‘Not very sensitive’ According to Dr. Stein, Dr. Gelbaum should have consulted the Collegiate Assembly before choosing Dr. Bennett. Terming Dr. Gelbaum “a man not very faculty, students or sensitive to people Stein said he “wouldn’t Dr. anybody,” shed any bitter tears if Dr. Gelbaum would resign. This University ought to be run by and students instead of faculty administrators.” “I’ve criticized Dr. Gelbaum before,” noted Harold Segal, professor of Biology, “and I would like to see him replaced and 1 think that in due course it will happen.” He continued; “Dr. Gelbaum has the right to attempt to eliminate courses that are inappropriate; those that don’t have sufficient academic substance or that are taught by unqualified personnel.” However, “his actions were high-handed Structure? New proposal to reorganize IRC s policies and duties — - and untimely, and he failed to discriminate between courses that have legitimacy and those that don’t,” he said. Dr. Segal also objected to Dr. Gelbaum’s means of investigation, maintaining that “he should have made sure he was tight in his facts.” “I’m not happy about what has happened, but I don’t think we should start any local impeachment movement because I don’t think there are grounds to impeach him,” said Michael Metzger, professor of German. Dr. Metzger suggested that consideration be given to Dr. Gelbaum’s proposals: “There’s nothing to worry about in his unilateral actions, if he says these things and they balloon, he is still just making suggestions.” “It’s not just Gelbaum; it shows the incompetence of the Administration in unblinkable ways,” said Larry Chisolm, professor of American Studies. ’They had all this time to establish human contact with College E. Instead, they issue an ultimatum, then back up when people throw up their hands.” Instead of pluralistic discussion, he said, “power has been aggregated to a centralized group in which three or four people impose their educational philosophy on the University.” IF YOU’RE GOING TO GATHER IN THE AFTERNOONS, WHY NOT TRY “YOUR PLACE” DISCOTHEQUE (formerly The Beehive) 864 Kenmore Aue, ■874-6512 * FREE play juke box * - - by Amy Dunkin next year,” added Mr. Regenbogen.

A generally negative feeling towards unbearable IRC on the part of its members and a low morale among its officers has necessitated this action, according to Activities Chairman Mitch Regenbogen. “With a voluntary fee organization, people question why they are paying money,” Mr. Regenbogen said. “For activities alone, we spent $2800 more than last year, there were a greater number of events, and we had to plan events on both campuses. And people still complained they weren’t getting their money’s worth,” he explained. An overall dissatisfaction with IRC was revealed in a recent survey: 95% of the IRC fee-payers polled would not pay their fee again next year.

Wasteful.” He said a change of lifestyle was needed for the long-term energy shortage, but he wondered “whether a nation that has had it so good for so long can adjust.” New sources of energy are imperative, said Senator Eagleton. Such virtually unlimited sources as solar and geothermal energy will not be economically feasible for 20 years, “nevertheless a beginning has to be made and it has to be made now.” Nuclear power, “not an unmixed blessing,” oil shale and coal would serve as more immediate answers, but only after severe economic and environmental problems were solved. Energy crisis is caused by all by Clem Colucci Contributing Editor With recriminations flying back 'and forth blaming big oil companies, governmental regulation and the White House for the current fuel shortage, Missouri Senator Thomas Eagleton placed the blame squarely on “two hundred million American people” Monday night in Clark Hall. With the political climate such that people can plausibly feel the energy crisis is a diversion, the short-lived 1972 Democratic Vice-Presidential nominee had to assure listeners: “We don’t know the precise dimensions of the energy crisis, but we are short.” “Politicians of both parties, in all walks of life, are held in low esteem,” said Senator Eagleton. But if the reactions of the 2,000 people who trudged through mud and snow to hear him were any indication, he was wrong. There are some politicians from which you would buy a used car, and Tom Eagleton was clearly regarded as one. Senator Eagleton said the energy crisis had two from this winter components: the immediate problem through the end of 1974 and the long-range crisis lasting essentially forever. ' — — Numbers game He recalled that former energy czar John Love had estimated the short-term oil shortfall at 3 to 316 million barrels daily. His successor, current energy chief William Simon, stuck to these figures for a while but then reduced the estimated shortage to 800,000 barrels a day. This smaller estimate is manageable within the voluntary measures the American people are now taking, said Senator Eagleton, but the larger estimate would require more stringent measures. So Congress is “belatedly” trying to get accurate statistics on the real extent of the oil shortage. Though the government has kept statistics on a number of things employment, trade, etc. no one has kept track of energy simply because America has become so used to a seemingly unlimited supply. As a result, people have no accurate information and become confused. Senator Eagleton said he recently spent several days in Missouri wi|h his constituents. He said they had heard that stocks of five out of six of the major petroleum products were equal to or greater than the supplies last year when no one made a great deal of noise about the energy crisis. Missourians proverbially want to be shown, and when they asked Senator Eagleton to “show me,” he “didn’t have a very satisfactory answer.” The long range picture is even bleaker, said Senator — — —Santos Thomas Eagleton Eagleton. The American people have been “gluttonous” in their energy consumption, he said. He did not spare his own family’s habits from criticism when he told of his wife’s self-cleaning oven that uses the energy equivalent of 60 pounds of coal each time Ms. Eagleton flips the switch. His home has central air-conditioniing for all nine rooms, even though only three or four are used often enough to justify the air-conditioning. “One of the rooms is so damn I THE U.B.

Important re-organizational meeting Old Other topics Senator Eagleton addressed himself to other topics to questions from the audience. Asked why he response in voted against the confirmation of Gerald Ford as Vice-President (along with Democrats William Hathaway of Maine and Gaylord Nelson of Wisconsin), he replied’ “Gerald Ford is a decent, likeable man, a man of integrity and if he were being considered in the isolation of the Vice-Presidency I would have voted for him.” But with the very real possibility that he might become President, Senator Eagleton felt Mr. Ford just wasn’t good enough. In 25 years in the House Mr. Ford has had no important part in any significant piece of legislation, said Senator Eagleton. Conscious of Vice-President Ford’s collegiate football career, Senator Eagleton call him “a blocker, not a passer” of legislation. He also mentioned Mr. Ford’s admitted ignorance of foreign affairs and said Mr. Ford’s assurances that Secretary of State Henry Kissinger could handle things was not good enough. Though he had high praise for Dr. Kissinger, Senator Eagleton said no President should hand a Secretary of State a blank check. Asked the inevitable question about the effect of his mental health history on his Vice Presidential candidacy. Senator Eagleton answered: “I don’t think I was ill-treated either by McGovern, the press or the public.” Senator Eagleton rose to emotional heights at only one point in his answers. “We are a crisis-oriented society,” he said: “It isn’t until Lake Erie is a swamp that we get concerned about saving the Great Lakes.” The American people have gotten spoiled, said the Senator. His voice raising to the loudest volume in his talk. Senator Eagleton said: “How many petitions have I gotten from Missouri saying ‘it’s necessary for me to have my car. I’ve waited until 1 was 16 so I can drive.’ That’s success, man. Success American style.” He also answered a question concerning his vote to sustain the President’s veto of a war powers bill Senator Eagleton had originally sponsored. He explained that the bill was altered in the House to give the President the power to commit troops in any amount, at any time, to any place, for any reason. He predicted that “we will rue the day this was passed as we rued the day the Gulf of Tonkin resolution was passed.” H i PLAYING SAT-SUN FEB 2-3-CONFERENCE THEATER Starring James Caan and Sally Kellerman The Spectrum is published three Monday, times a week, on Wednesday and Friday, during the regular academic year; and once a week, on Friday, during the The summer months; by Periodical, Spectrum Student H.

Charles Ebert. “I firmly believe any change-over from the present system must come from the Faculty-Senate, which is charged with determining academic policy.” He continued; “I am totally opposed to going back across-the-board to the five-course load.” Rather than decide on any “fixed load,” Dr. Ebert favors a “more flexible system” of variable credit. Be specific Some science courses involve hours in the lab, while some history professors assign an “enormously heavy outside reading load” of two or three books a week, he explained. “I don’t like an across-the- board solution,” Dr. Ebert said, “we shouldn’t box ourselves in. Instead we should determine the specific value of specific courses.” There are two aspects of flexibility in the AAC proposal, Dr. Gelbaum explained: “For most courses, one credit hour could be given for one contact hour... two contact hours of lab would also be worth one credit hour... some other courses might generate more credit.” Secondly, “should every course be worth four credits? A student may want to combine different numbers of credits until they equal 15 or 16,’ Dr. Gelbaum different 1— weakens our claim for more faculty. Albany’s Division of the Budget, however, said the four-course load is not considered in determining the budget (see story, page numbers of credits until they equal IS or 16,” Dr. Gelbaum 4]Regarding the Faculty-Senate report Total faculty productivity has declined, a to the five-course he believes, as a result of the “ridiculously which rejected switch load last May, Graduate School Dean light load” being carried by some faculty MacAUister HUH said: ‘There was much members who arc “getting away with discussion with regard to the validity of murder.” However, Dr. Ebert does not that conclusion.

Explaining why there had been no vote at the AAC meeting which recommended the switch, Dr. Gelbaum said: ‘There was no dissent after careful consultation with all those present. We generally proceed without a formal vote. We discuss these matters until they have been fully discussed. Unless I hear objections, I take it to be a consensus.” AAC member Dr. Sullivan agreed: “Nobody was speaking up against it. When someone say something and no one objects, the resolution passes.” Some department charimen surveyed, he added, “thought that courses previously given for three credits were not beefed up. This could have been caused by human frailty,” said Dr. Sullivan. Last spring, the controversy over whether to switch from a four- to a five-course load reached an impasse with the AAC supporting such a switch and a Faculty-Senate subcommittee rejecting it. The question has now been rekindled by the AAC; the Facult-Senate- executive committee will determine the next step today as both students and faculty watch very closely. --------------- State budget Albany: 4 credits is nofactor Those who favor the removal of the four-course load have often argued that because it reduces the number of faculty-student contact hours, it reduces the allocation this University receives in the state budget. An investigation into next year’s state budget has proved otherwise. According to Joseph Fernandez of the State Division of the Budget, the State University of Buffalo’s proposed allocation for 1974-75 is $2.8 million greater than the previous fiscal year. The State University at Binghamton, the other SUNY University Center operating under the four-course load, has been budgeted for a $1.4 million increase. “A large portion of the increase is due to very high increased costs for utilities,” said Mr. Fernandez. “However, we base most of the budget on the number of full-time and part-time students enrolled.” Mr. Fernandez said Stony Brook and Buffalo receive special consideration in budget matters because they have Health Science facilities on their campuses. ‘Strictly a campus decision’ When asked about the effect of the four-course load and student-teacher contact hours on the budget allocations, Mr. Fernandez said: “We make no decisions regarding academic programs at individual institutions. That is strictly a campus decision.” Although he is aware of the problems with student-teacher contact hours, he said: “We couldn’t possibly determine a budget on those terms, it is just too big.” A staff member of the Ways and Means committee of the State Assembly said he “had never heard of student-teacher contact hours.” The Ways and Means committee must approve the budget before the entire Assembly approves it. The aide provided the same figures as Mr. Fernandez regarding next year’s budget appropriations, but also offered a further breakdown of the budget. The $2.8 million increase does reflect some cuts, he said. However, none of the cuts were due to the four-course load. Two were reduced rental payments, and one was due to the elimination of two staff members in the nursing faculty because of overstaffing. Responding to the question of whether the four-course load was a factor in determining budget allocations, the aide, who requested anonymity, said: “Definitely not . . . I wouldn’t think . . . that could possibly determine the budget for an individual university.” He said a large portion of the increased allocation was due to the hiring of over 70 additional faculty. - 0 0 0 « 0 D ■ , Cut out and Save!

Serving as a focal points for public attention, the upcoming Wounded Knee trials to be held in St. Paul, Minnesota will bring the underlying tensions of - — contemporary Indian culture to the forefront. The issues and actual charges facing the defendants have gradually been relegated secondary importance. The Federal Government has charged several of the Indian leaders with criminal trespass and attacks upon federal and state officials. Ramon Robideaux, Chief Defense Counsel for the Indians, presented his case Sunday in a speech to students and local Indian leaders in the Fillmore Room. Mr. Robideaux, a Sioux Indian from the Pine Ridge Reservation, has been touring the country in recent months informing the public about both the pre-trial proceedings and subsequent events in the towns of Custer and Wounded Knee where much of to the trouble began. Legal disputes The central argument of the Wounded Knee defendants is that the entire sector of western South Dakota where the 1973 disturbances took place is actually Sioux land. According to a treaty signed in 1896, the cessation of Indian land to outside interests is forbidden with the consent of three-fourths of the adult male population. ‘‘No such permission was ever granted,” Mr. Robideaux stated emphatically. Defense attorneys have entered a motion that all charges be dropped because the alleged infractions occurred on land which is legally under Indian jurisdiction. “Treaties are the supreme law of the land,” said Mr. Robideaux. “Indian agreements are a part of that law; there should be no :v contradictions.” Approximately 50 lawyers are working for the defense. There is no shortage of moral support and volunteers, but financing the court proceedings has been another story. Contributions have primarily been in the form of small sums. The flow of money has been steady, but the lack of any major donations has forced the defendants to raise money whenever possible. An impromptu passing of the hat after Sunday’s Fillmore Room speech raised over $ 130. * . Vicious buracracy The Federal Bureau of Indian Affairs (B1A) is trying to “dominate the Indian mind and his way of thinking,” said Mr. Robideaux. Terming the B1A as the “most colossal failure of all time," he charged them with cooperating with various Indians and half-bloods on the Tribal Councils to perpetuate “a vicious bureaucracy designed to strip the Indian of his cultural identity.” Mr. Robideaux’s comments were made in reference to the upcoming runoff elections at the Pine Ridge, S.D. Reservation. The runoff will be held on February 7 between the incumbent, Dick Wilson, and the progressive candidate, Russell Means. Together with members of the American Indian Movement (AIM), Mr. Robideaux has publicly accused Mr. Wilson of “harassing voters and badgering those who disagree with him.” Mr. Wilson, for his part, has stated that if he is re-elected, “those who fail to comply with my policies will be forced to leave the reservation.” The tribal election is tied closely to the scheduled trials in St. Paul because Russell Means, candidate for Chairman of the Tribal Council, is also one of the defendants. This connection between trial and election raises several interesting questions. Defense attorneys are challenging the right of the federal court to try a Tribal Chieftain. The confusing contradictions between federal/state law and traditional Indian law will have to be given much attention during the trial. A political trial The nature of the trial and the involvement of Mr. Means in the tribal election have caused Mr. Robideaux to say. “The trial is political no question about ... it.” He added: “It is unfortunate that no dark-skinned people will be on the jury,” that the although he acknowledged presiding judge, “is better than any of the other judges in the area that I know of.” The prevailing mood of the defense is one of confidence. Mr. Robideaux pointed out that the defendants’ legal resources are far more extensive than those of the government. The Justice Department has only four attorneys assigned to the case. The trials are expected to focus public attention on the problems of the Indians. Several local Indian leaders have expressed hope that this knowledge of the injustices being committed against them will aid the Indian struggle for cultural identity. The only things that American Indians want is the rights guaranteed to all Americans by the Constitution of the United States, Mr. Robideaux explained. To illustrate his point and sum up his presentation, Mr. Robideaux characterized the goals of the Indian movement by quoting the closing line of the Pledge of Allegiance: “with Liberty and justice for all.. Friendship Committee updates workshops on Indochina news by Paul Krehbid Spectrum Staff Writer To learn more about the current fighting in Vietnam and to map out programs to help bring an end to the continuing war, the American-Vietnamese Friendship Committee of the Western New York Peace Center sponsored an Indochina conference workshop last Saturday. Gareth Porter of Cornell University provided detailed information concerning the current escalation of fighting in Indochina at the meeting at Amherst Unitarian Church. The Saigon regime has repeatedly and blatantly violated numerous provisions of last January’s Paris peace agreement, Mr. Porter explained. He reported that Saigon troops have taken territory held by the Provisional Revolutionary Government (PRG or Viet Cong) and have built new bases there. They have also built bases in contested areas such as the Mekong Delta, in direct violation of the peace agreement, he charged. With these acts, and attempts to provoke the PRG forces into fire-fights, Saigon was hoping to bait the PRG into attacking them, Mr. Porter claimed. Yet the PRG has a tremendous desire to respect the provisions of the agreement in order to avoid military confrontation, and shift the struggle to the political level, he explained. To bring this about, the PRG has been circulating the peace agreement to all those who live under its leadership and has continually pressed for preparations for elections, which are stipulated by the agreements. Media misleads public The American press is misleading the American people by not fully reporting the violations by the Saigon regime, Mr. Porter claimed. The press further distorts the situation by labelling PRG initiatives to gain back their territory “Viet Cong aggression,” Mr. Porter said. “I’ve been unable to find any pattern on the part of the PRG to expand their but Saigon has increased its territory by 5 to territory 10 percent,” he added. The conference then saw a slide show, produced by the American Friends Service Committee, a group operating medical clinics in South Vietnam. According to their slides and text, there were 76,000 casualities in the first six months after the signing of the January peace agreement. Many observers believe that these casualities ... are victims of the Saigon regime, since the Saigon troops are outshooting the PRG by 20 to 1. Millions of refugees are forced into crowded camps,” the American Staff of the Friends Service Committee in South Vietnam reported. They said they heard a loudspeaker in a camp shown in the slides announce: “Attention, citizens. If you attempt to go back to your ancestral homes in Communist areas, you will be shot to death.” The slides also showed political prisoners still being detained by the Thieu regime. Every family in South Vietnam must be photographed. They must also carry l.D. cards with pictures and fingerprints on it. The Friends Committee charged: “Saigon agents force people to join Thieu’s ‘Democracy Party,’ or their l.D. cards are taken.” Slides also depicted Saigon military men mistreating and abusing citizens. They went on to say that South Vietnamese police are now being trained in the United States. Thieu holds prisoners In contrast to the Thieu Regime is the PRG, which governs most of the countryside in South Vietnam, performing administrative functions such as building roads, schools, work places, and health clinics. At the conclusion of the slide presentation, the meeting broke into four workshops. The workshop on political prisoners heard from a representative of a Canadian peace group who recently returned from a visit to Vietnam. She said that the Thieu regime is holding some 200,000 prisoners, many in horrible conditions. After much discussion the workshop decided to build a campaign to free these prisoners by “adopting” them and then writing to them in prison. They plan to correspond with government officials of both South Vietnam and the US. to urge the release of the prisoners. The workshop on medical aid is going to operate a local fund-raising project in Buffalo to collect money to finance a field hospital in the FRG-controlled area of South Vietnam. Among supplies needed will be stethescopes, blood-pressure-cuffs, thermometers, scissors, bandages, tape, antibiotic ointment, a hemoglobinometer, glass slides, and other materials. $884 has already been raised toward a goal of $4600. The workshop on Congressional action is hoping to put enough pressure on Congress people to cut off all aid to South Vietnam, and will press for implementation of —O’Neill Gareth Porter the provisions of the peace agreement. They will be circulating a “peace pledge,” which will be presented to Congressmen seeking re-election. They seek the candidates’ support for the “peace pledge” as a part of each one’s re-election program. v The workshop on American Foreign Policy and the economic crisis is planning to do educational work showing how U5. war policy is linked to the growing economic crisis in America. One major point they will press for is the cut-off of oil shipments to the Saigon regime, which amounts to 22,000 barrels of oil a day. The American-Vietnamese Friendship Committee urges all concerned and interested people in Western New York to join in supporting these projects. They are located at 25 Calumet Place, Buffalo, N.Y.

The four-course load was adopted in 1968 to allow a student to give greater concentration to four subjects a term than to dilute his attention with five. It has been very successful: if a History major takes fewer courses and has more time freed from requirements to spend extra hours on his fascinating course in Psychology, then it is worth it he is learning. The four-course load finally recognized that contact hours do not equal learning, that more sophisticated criteria must be used. Of course, some flexibility is desirable courses with labs or those with exceptionally heavy outside reading or research loads might be worth more than four credits. But aside from extra credits for extraordinary work loads, the basic four-credit unit has proved a sound idea. The Administration cannot decide that Engineering courses are "worth" more credits than courses in Philosophy the student must decide which is more important to him. The final argument advanced against the four-course load is that it reduces faculty work loads and short-changes this University in the state budget. But there surely is a better way to equalize faculty work loads than by revising the credit system, and Albany's Budget Division reported that the four-credit system is totally irrelevant in computing SUNY budgets. Until some hard evidence is produced, the Administration's familiar tactic of invoking Albany to justify its policies just won't wash. Unless evidence more convincing than the useless yardstick of lower GRE scores is forthcoming, the Faculty-Senate, just as it did last May, should reject any departure from the present four-course load. But instead of new evidence, we have gotten a warmed-over version of Dr. Gelbaum's astonishingly narrow educational philosophy of "one credit for one hour." Such a rigid, authoritarian view of education is a definite insult to the intelligence of students and faculty on this campus. If learning is no more than the number of legislated "contact hours," this University is in deep trouble. — — just another adventure story. It is a story of man’s inhumanity to man, and one man’s yen to escape there horros. I’m very sorry to read that Mr. Boyar did not really care about the characters themselves, for I’m sure that Papillion deserves to be regarded as more than just another man, just another adventure tale.

This, of course, is again at the expense of the University’s academic quality.

It is more than nonsense it is educationally insulting to suggest that learning can only be measured by the number of hours a student sits in a classroom. In the last decade, the entire educational world has realized that independent research, projects, reading and experience are far more valuable than being force-fed knowledge in a sterile classroom with the notable exception, it seems, of Bernard Gelbaum. His computerized mind cannot conceive of learning taking place outside a classroom's four walls, and so to grant four credits for only three hours a week of is to him an listening to a faculty member spout wisdom unbalanced equation, a "devaluation." Dr. Gelbaum has thus proposed a return to the archaic system of a five-course load which would paternalistically grant students one credit for every one hour they sit in class. If we are to. take this giant step backward, teachers might as well take attendance, give mandatory homework assignments, put bars on the windows and label the grades 13 through 16, just like high school. For as every high school survivor knows, being forced to sit in a classroom yields a superficial regurgitation of facts at best, and complete boredom and alienation at worst. Most students came to this University to escape the high school mentality of knowledge-injection for a chance to be creative, to undertake independent study, to experience, to motivate themselves. Ordering them to take five courses a term would yield the same result as the mandating of five major subjects in high school: students whose main concern is short-cuts, evading requirements and "beating the system." High school teachers know compulsory attendance is not the same as compulsory learning. College students pay to go to school so they can explore their own interests, not so they can be ordered how many courses to take and how many hours they must sit in class. Learning cannot be mandated, even by a ten-course load. It can. however, be encouraged by skilled faculty who can stimulate their students' intellectual curiosity. But the educational simpletons who worship the 1:1 ratio would rather give more credits to a student who slept through five "contact hours" a week than to one who spent his semester working in the community or researching a problem on his .

Whether he likes a particular movie or not is of no real consequence to me, but the obvious and unforgivable deletion and absence of facts is. Especially when these facts are so pertinent to the film and its message that without them, no critique can justly be called a critique. Mr. Boyer speaks of this movie as Frank Schaffner’s extravaganza, filled with sensationalist “baddies” (as he calls them) that seems to be saved only by the presence of Steve McQueen and Dustin Hoffman. (Really now, is Dustin Hoffman a “hot new item?”) But what The Spectrum’s Arts Editor fails miserably to mention is that Papillon’s story is true.

T TOGETHER AT LAST! | ’ ■ - " Criticisms that the Biology Department has failed to offer a genuine opportunity for effective student input has prompted die revitalization of the Undergraduate Biology Association (U.B.A.). Last Thursday, S.A. President Jon Dandes called the first meeting of the hew U.B.A. to order. Mr. Dandes, himself a Biology major, termed the previous U.B.A. “non-existent.” Meetings were never held and the club officers could never be reached, said Mr. Dandes. In the past, the purpose of belonging to the U.B.A. was for “blank-filling purposes,” Mr. Dandes said, referring to the blanks found under the “extracurricular activities” portion of medical school applications. Up to now, students experiencing difficulties with the Biology Department had to confront the Department on an individual basis, often to no avail, said Mr. Dandes. Bio complaints In terms of student enrollment, biology is one of the largest departments on campus. Discontented students brought forth several reasons concerning the nature of the problems afflicting the department and its students. The students complained that ■ faculty members are more interested in research than in fulfilling their teaching responsibilities and that many faculty members expressed either through grading or their direct comments their contempt for the pre-professional student (pre-med, pre-dent, etc.). Also, the lack of variety and number of courses, the limited enrollment standards of popular courses, Seniors being closed out of courses required for graduation, were among the many criticisms voiced by biology students. Mr. Dandes told of resistance to the revitalization plans for the U.B.A. Several posters' and some 250 leaflets were put up announcing the meeting, according to Mr. Dandes. However, only a few of the students at the meeting had reported seeing them. To many, this lent credence to the rumor that the announcements were tom down maliciously. The meeting ended shortly after some students related their own problems with the Biology department. The students present agreed to discuss the meeting’s issues with other biology majors and bring them up at the next meeting, tomorrow at 7:30 pjn. in Norton Hall. your METR0C0L0R Wv mgm|J Starring James Caan, Peter Boyle BEAT THE and Salty Kellerman LEW°LONDON RETURNS ! performing a wide repertoire of traditional and popular music 9 p.m. 1st Floor Cafeteria Norton Union wTbTwblk ~ present NORTON HALL I "GOLD RUSH" Today J I Order your College Class Ring and receive a EDDIE KENDRICKS and special guest stars : THE PERSUASIONS 5% Discount! : Tickets$3.50 students $4.50 non-students and night of show Friday, Feb. 1st 8:30 p.m. Century Theatre Tickets on sale at: • U.B.

If this money could be freed, the Student Association would have more available to contribute.” Come September Plans drawn up for temporary recreational facility at Amherst schools were contacted and asked about the possibility of renting their facilities. However, explained Monkarsh, “because of the energy crisis and the fact that they were consolidating their own programs, they indicated that they had to take care of their own constituents first, so we decided that this plan would not be feasible.” by Dave Geringer Sports Editor Students at the Amherst campus will probably have a recreational facility, possibly as early as next September. While plans arc not yet definite, a bubble-domed structure will most likely be constructed on the north campus.

At the same time, the administration would put in some money from their rental budget. Then, the Student Association would have the money to rent this facility (rather than purchasing such a facility). If the state won’t pick up the rental fees, it would mean cither the administration or the students or both putting in more money,” Breisblatt added. Breisblatt revealed the probable design of the bubble. “It is made of hard, rubberized plastic,” stated Breisblatt. ‘There would be four basketball courts, an indoor track around the perimeter, a weight room, and locker facilities,” Breisblatt said. John Telfcr, head of the office of Facilities Planning, was reluctant to discuss the plans. “We’re working on that privately,” Telfer said. ‘We’re investigating the costs of providing such a facility.” i, sports shorts Buffalo right wing Mike Klym has been joined by two other Bulls in receiving mention from the ECAC for their play against St. Lawrence and Rochester Tech last week. Klym, who tallied three times against the Larries and once against the Tigers, was named to the ECAC weekly Division II all-star squad. Defenseman Mike Perry and left-wing Jack Kaminska received honorable mentions. —Wurl Bulls to host Alfred College in tonight’s swim competition by Steve Lustig Staff Writer Spectrum The swimming Bulls suffered their fourth defeat in five starts Saturday as they were downed by Rockport, 74-39 in Clark Hall. Brockport is also 1-4. Buffalo fell behind early, losing the 400 yard medley relay and 1000 yard freestyle events by slim margins. The medley relay team was leading until Pete Mathis of Brockport overtook the Bulls Dave Gaeth in the final 25 yards. Dan Winter was also nosed out by the Golden Eagles Mike Roser for second place in the 1000 yard freestyle. The Bulls top man against Brockport was sprinter Burt Zweigenhaft who returned to action after being out three weeks due to cancer of the tongue. Zweigenhaft captured first and second place finishes in the 200 and 100 yard freestyle events respectively. The Buffalo junior, who had not swam competitively in the three years prior to the current season, feels his layoff set him back. “I’m not in shape to go good times yet,”- said Zweigenhaft. “1 dropped from 155 pounds to 142 pounds because of the operation. 1 just have to get back up to my swimming weight to get my strength back,” added Zweigenhaft. ailment of the intestinal tract). Graduate student Jeff Springston, who was substituting for Brockport’s coach Greg Kinney, observed, “I thought it was a good meet. It’s nice to come in and go out a winner.” “Some of the races were awfully close. It could have gone either way,” Springston added. Buffalo coach Bill Sanford was encouraged by the continued improvement of the squad times: “I’m not disappointed that we didn’t win. I like to win just as much as the next guy but the score wasn’t indicative of how close the match was. We gave them (Brockport) a real run in the relays (losing by 2.1 and 1.5 seconds in the medley and freestyle events),” the Bull mentor noted. Each relay was worth seven points to the winner. Sanford also said that after Saturday’s match the Bulls had qualified many of their men for the Upper New York State Championships to be held March 1-2 at R.I.T. Among those who have qualified on the basis of their times in individual events are Zweigenhaft, Carl Gabaueri in the 200 yard individual medley, backstroker Bill Pericak, and divers Keil Wurl and Tim Leo. The Bulls face another tough assignment as they take on Alfred College tonight in Clark Hall at 7 p.m. Like many of Buffalo’s previous opponents, the ortty thing known about Alfred is their times in previous showings this year.

Jack came to work at Old Norton (now the building known as Harriman Library) on June 12, 195? as a janitor, after working for 23 years for the National Biscuit Company. jack has witnessed the transition and growth of this school from a small private college to a huge multi-college University. He has serviced every area of this busy student center and has supervised the maintenance staff in covering the cleanliness, room reservations, safety and security of Norton Union. The University, public and student population are rarely aware of the ramifications of a maintenance job. It cannot be dismissed as just so many floors to be washed and waxed, or so many bags of trash to be removed. Norton Hall’s maintenance men have mastered the art of working with people, and understand the many varied needs and problems of those who use Norton Hall. Jack’s hobbies are camping, fishing and wood-working. As we review the years of work of this employee, it is indeed a pleasure to look upon the occasion of his retirement. We sincerely wish Jack and Dorothy Herman much good luck and continued good health as they enjoy the rewards of many years of service. ��Community Action Corps Community Action Corps is an organization of student volunteers. The goals of the organization are twofold: 1. community service 2. independent practical education CAC operates on the premise that the university of effective utilization resources can contribute to the alleviation of .220 Norton Hall 831 3605 831 3609 of our social problems. The integration of theoretically based classroom learning and practical community experience is basic to the full development of a student's capabilities. Commitment by the volunteer worker of time and energy is similarly essential to the realization of these goals. CAC believes that the only way to institute real change within a community is to understand the complex connections between economic, political and social workings. CAC is therefore in a constant state of considering new facilities, services and contacts in the community, allowing us to further grasp the many obstacles that have to be faced in the struggle for change. The organization views itself to be an alive, on-going center for any and all resources, materials, people and ideas. Below are some commonly asked questions about CAC: 1. Can I receive academic credit? Through two bulletin board courses, CAC offers credit to project heads and resource assistants. CAC also maintains a listing of faculty members who are willing to sponsor students for independent many symptoms study. 2. How is CAC organized? CAC is structured into (1) projects, and (2) resource contacts. (1) Projects are ongoing, organized activities in which groups of students identify objectives and act strategically to effect their purposes. (2) Resource contacts are available placements in the community where a student worker can act on his own, and necessarily be a part of an organized group of people who are all working in the same service. Resource aides are always available to help people with problems or simply to hear feedback. Both of these options provide greater possibilities for work. 3. How much time is required for volunteer work? the Although exceptions to requirement can be found, the general time requirement is one semester and four hours per week. 4. Why should I volunteer through CAC? By maintaining the diversified program of community projects and resources, CAC attempts to provide an outlet for students to express their interests via community service. Often, we cannot predict every interest of every student. Consequently, CAC stresses that if a student's individual needs are not reflected by the projects and resources in the brochure, he/she should still contact CAC to volunteer; CAC has contacts or will find the contacts to provide that student with the opportunity to work in the community. Furthermore, since all of the CAC contacts in the community conduct ongoing, well organized, and planned activities, the likelihood of serious mistakes, failures and frustrations is reduced. CAC is geared towards the needs of its volunteers. The organization arranges transportation for students, either by using the CAC bus, arranging car pools, or reimbursing volunteers for transportation expenses. CAC supports the volunteers by coordinating orientation sessions and in-service training seminars; these are to provide some perspective on the nature of the problems in the community. The following are detailed descriptions of the seven program areas of CAC. For more information, or to volunteer, Community Action Corps can be contacted at Room 220 Norton Hall, SUNY at Buffalo, New York 14214; or call 831-3605, 3609 �Action Program If Community Action Corps is to be an effective community force, it must aim a substantial part of its energies towards the goals of awareness of the scope of situations we are dealing with, and of course, positive social change. The task of helping people, whether it is in terms of tutoring a child or caring for the aged, is valid. But, if it is seen as the only goal or the final goal, then CAC has failed even before it has begun. If we are satisfied with looking at surface problems and solving surface problems, we are merely satisfying ourselves, perpetuating a corrupt system, and using the unfortunate circumstances of others to build up our own public image. Action projects are concerned with current issues of the community. Often these issues are complicated in nature and long range in effects. It must be realized that an Action volunteer will not be able to “change the world" in a semester. However, through research, working in conjunction with community groups, internships, and self-initiated projects, students in the Action area seek to more clearly define issues, educate, gain experience in the field, and work towards the goal of affecting positive social skills will be especially helpful in working on this campus and with community groups to promote effective forces which can influence decisions and work towards the creation of a human, efficient, neighborhood conscious transit system. Although the hours needed to work on this project are flexible, it is hoped that volunteers will show commitment and initiative in working on this project. — change. Rapid transit proposal for a With the Buffalo-Amherst rapid transit corridor, many community concerns have come to the front. How will the proposed routes effect the community? Who will benefit by rapid transit? What will be the Students impact? environmental interested in the many facets of this issue are needed to do research work, monitor the decisions being made about rapid educate the student transit, and community as to the implications of mass transit. Volunteers with some organizing Environmental action committee For three years this committee has focused its attentions on ecological concerns of the University community. Glass, paper, and Christmas tree recycling successfully been projects have undertaken. This next semester efforts will be extended into the areas of energy consumption, bike paths, and rapid transit. We are also interested in starting new areas of concern generated by volunteers. The Environmental Action Committee needs students who are self-motivated and interested in doing research and undertaking projects. Time but flexible, are committments attendance at committee meetings is expected. The Environmental Action committee will take on increasing importance in the coming year due to the crucial point we are at with regard to our environment. Tot lots Tot lots are small play areas located in different parts of the city to provide small opportunities recreation for children. These play areas are in danger of being terminated by the city. The purpose of this CAC project is to research the current situation and to help create alternatives to the city's proposed course of action. Students wishing to work in this area will be expected to make community contacts, keep abreast of the situation, write articles, and hopefully plan innovative alternatives to the possibility that tot lots will be curtailed. As with the Rapid Transit project, the hours of work are flexible. CAC day camp The Day Camp committee hopes to realize its goal of establishing an economically and racially integrated day camp for Buffalo area children for the summer of 1974. Although the basic proposal has been prepared, student volunteers are still needed to help detect potential problems, secure funding for the camp, and plan final details. Especially those persons with camp of experience, knowledge grant foundations, and creative ideas for children are encouraged to join this committee. We welcome students faculty and staff. Revenue sharing This is a very new area for CAC involvement. Basically, one or two persons are needed to act as resource aides representing CAC on the Citizens' Commission on Revenue Sharing of Buffalo and Erie County. The concept of revenue sharing has designated that local governments and their people should best decide priorities of how federal funds should be spent. The priorities established by the Citizens Commission include housing, neighborhood services, day care, special education and services for the aging. However, for the 1972-73 fiscal year over $4 million went towards salaries for Buffalo police department personnel and over $5 million to Buffalo fire department personnel. CAC would like student volunteers to keep the University community informed of the issues surrounding revenue sharing and act as a representative in the larger CAC community. The hours are flexible, but �volunteers should be prepared to attend some evening meetings. Women's self help clinic One aspect of the Women's Movement is the establishment of self help clinics which are oriented towards the goal of enabling women to engage in preventative medicine and self examination, especially in the area of gynecology. This idea was conceived to help relieve the feeling of helplessness and submissiveness women feel when a health problem materializes. To be combatted is the myth that medical institutions must have the monopoly in health concerns and sought is a sense of autonomy and a feeling that the individual can activiely participate in self help maintenance. No such self help clinic' exists in Buffalo. In order to establish such a clinic, much preliminary research and work must be done. CAC does not pretend that it will establish such a clinic. with coalescing through Rather, pooling and community groups information and knowledge, perhaps this long range goal will be realized. Volunteers are needed to continue CAC research, make contact with extend and communitty groups, University to the information community. The amount of time to be devoted to this project is at the discretion of the volunteer. However, students are needed that are reliable and committed to this idea. HOME - Housing Opportunities Made Equal This community organization as the name implies works in the area of housing problems. Student volunteers would become a part of the organization assisting in its current work. Possible areas that students should consider working in are; gathering information on housing vacancies in the Buffalo area, to assist in survey work dealing with housing choices open to minority peoples, to act as a test case to determine discrimination. HOME'S activities are varied and changing. It is important that volunteers be committed to fair housing and be flexible in the types of work they do.

CPAC Center - Community Planning Assistance 25 High Street, Buffalo this community The aims of organization are to foster community based planning and development by making available to community groups the professional expertise and technical assistance needed. CPAC is taking on 2—4 student interns requiring 10 —15 hours a week. Students wilt be taken on as full members of the CPAC team. Working with this advocacy planning group can prove to be a very satisfying learning experience especially for students of architecture, urban studies, sociology and related fields. Tasks will include field community work, research some organizing, and other tasks that may come up with new projects that CPAC undertakes. This project probably more than most Action projects requires aggressive, self-motivated students who can create for themselves a meaning role in the sometimes frustrating and long process of planning. Housihg Assistance Center 1490 Jefferson Ave., Buffalo This center, funded by local agencies, needs a few students' to work in internship positions. The Center provides counseling services to persons seeking housing in the Buffalo area, assists minority and elderly residents to find rental housing, and seeks to promote a more equitable distribution of available housing. Students are needed to answer incoming calls and do preliminary screening. Some student may be asked to do research on rental housing available, provide escort service to prospective renters or buyers, and if qualified, do counseling. There is great potential for learning in this project, an committment, more than a technical skill, is needed. �Day Care Program Projects KIDDIE KORAL learning in this project, and commitment, more than a technical skill, might play 1525 Millersport Highway games with the children, clean up a project completed by the kids, read a story or just generally help the children in Kiddie Koral, a relatively new day care located near the Amherst campus, is a creative learning program geared to the interest level and growth needs of children 1% to 5 years old.

In the two to four hours during which the volunteer will be working during the week, he will feel a sense of fulfillment at having done something that really requires doing and at the same time will get the satisfaction of being needed and years. appreciated. Volunteers are needed at anytime during the morning or afternoon and are encouraged to work at least 2 to 4 hours a week in order to become familiar with the unique environment of the center, staff members and children. Volunteers will take part in a brief orientation to the area of day care in general and of this particular program. Volunteers will work along with qualified staff members in helping to guide and instruct the children in their daily activities. A typical scheducle involves such activities as arts and crafts, music, language arts, math concepts and reading readiness. Through their work, volunteers will learn how to plan instructional programs for children at this age level, and will also gain a greater knowledge of pre-school children, their problems and abilities. There is no formal orientation, just a chance for involvement in the center. can relate. Also, any new and creative activities which you feel will provide enriching experiences for the children will be most welcome at the center.

WALLS MEMORIAL HEADSTART PROGRAM 455 Glenwood Ave., near — Jefferson This program provides a widely varied learning situation for pre-schoolers and equips them with concepts which will be useful and necessary to their later educational experiences. Volunteers are needed to provide additional staff to better allow a one to one contact of child to adult and thus enable each child to receive the individual attention he needs. Objectives can be as far reaching as the individual volunteer wouldlike since he is allowed to take on as much responsibility as he feels comfortable. The situation is flexible and therefore the commitments and attainments can be as flexible as working with an individual child to conducting the entire class in a given lesson or concept. As previously mentioned, the work of the volunteer may vary in each individual case. The center is constantly open to new ideas and suggestions from volunteers and does not simply want babysitters but people who expect to be actively involved in helping to increase the children's awareness. There is an expected committment of three hours or more during which the volunteer can expect a great deal of personal fulfillment. Unlike other centers where volunteers are merely aides. Walls offers the volunteer an opportunity to try out his own ideas and to really get involved with the children. There is no special approach or technique that must be used in interacting with the children the volunteer is given tremendous freedom of expression. The program may specifically appeal to students interested education, child eary child in development or any other related area but is not restricted to any class of students nor are there any special requirements. There will be no training, only a brief orientation meeting. — PROJECT CONTACTS CORNERHOUSE NURSERY Cayuga and Milton in Williamsville Contact Mrs. Drinnan.

Center The Erie County Rehabilitation Center also makes them ask, what is the "real" is there really any difference, that is difference between the man in city hall and the man at 291 Elm? - Night People Drop-In Center (Rehab Center) is a public shelter for the Drug Related Program Project 4590 Amherst Counseling Center 4590 Main Street Buffalo, N Y. 14214 Tel. no. 839-1600 Purpose of the project The purpose of this project is to train volunteers in the setting up of a drug education and preventive program for students. It is to acquaint and train them in the use of the "hot line" to answer questions and give assistance to people in need of help. Purpose of volunteers To carry out the goals and objectives of the project by providing information, personal counseling for youth, adults and families; emergency counseling to help handle "bad trips," violent or suicidal cases, and overdose cases; help the community to develop programs in alternatives to drug use, i.e. more art and/or drama individuals groups; referral services for and families who have problems, questions or concerns about homeless and/or alcoholic men. The clientele range in age between 20-70 years old with a range in personality as wide. From the skid row alcoholic to men who work regularly but have no other place to live. Although alcohol appears to be a major problem, it is not the only one. Also included is a number of "psyche cases" that were either discharged from the State Hospital or through time became one. The volunteer can look forward to a very diverse group of clientele. The CAC project is aimed at providing a non-alcoholic related social outlet for the clientele. Without the volunteers, the social outlets are few, mainly because of the Rehab Center being understaffed due to a poor budget. Though there are only male clientele, male and female volunteers are welcomed. They can help in recreation, which ranges from weekly bingo games to nitely ping pong. Also available will be the use of the gym facilities at the Buffalo State Hospital. This would then add basketball, swimming, bowling, etc. to the recreation program. There is an informal training period present at the center with reimbursements provided for transportation. The times the volunteer can come remains flexible. However, we're trying to get volunteers in time slots close together so we are able to work as a team, with group efforts and results. Since the volunteer program is accepted by the staff, volunteers are welcome to attend or start any activities that they feel might benefit the clientele. A word of caution. Volunteers must always keep in mind that they are limited to what they can accomplish in way of rehabilitation. Because of the somewhat “inadequate" facilities, volunteers must not enter the project with high expectations. The project's main outlet to rehabilitate will come mainly through recreation or whatever type of relationship the volunteer will build with the client. We urge the volunteers to build a "buddy system" with one or two of the clients, so in time of decision, they will have a great influence in the results. Hopefully, with this type of relation, they can be more effective at "rehabilitating" that particular client. Through this type of experience, the volunteer develops a better insight not only to the difference in people but it ... Director: Thomas Kreuder Address; 50 W. Chippewa St Phone: 855-0877 Hours; Wed.-Sun. 9pm-3am The Night People Drop-In Center is located on Chippewa Street in downtown Buffalo. Sponsored by the Area Council on Alcoholism, its main target population is the debilitated skid-row alcoholic. However, a variety of people with a broad of problems might be spectrum encountered on any given night. It's purpose is to provide a non-threatening accepting atmosphere conducive to socialization, recreation (in the form of cards, checkers, etc.), as well as individual and group counseling and referral services. Since there is a small staff (Director, Asst, director, and one part-time counselor) several volunteers are needed nightly in order to run an efficient and therapeutic program. Volunteers are encouraged to be creative and imaginative in the use of their talents. Tasks range from serving soup and distributing clothing, to counseling and assisting people in getting hospitalization where necessary. Hopefully, volunteers will grow in their understanding and sensitivity of human situations and problems, from many walks of life. Night People offers a unique and refreshing approach to a social problem daring the late night hours, a time when most agencies have closed their doors to the public. Volunteers are asked to commit themselves to at least part of one night per week on a regular basis. This provides a certain continuity for the volunteer as well as enabling the staff to depend on their support. An intensive 18 hour training program is offered to all volunteers, as well as on the job supervision. Transportation is helpful, but not absolutely necessary, as other arrangements can be made. Sunshine House Sunshine House deals with some of the more trying aspects of contemporary living. We attempt to help people who are having emotional problems, general problems in everyday life, drug related problems, and drug emergencies. In its birth Sunshine House was an acid rescue center. This was at a time �when hallucinogens were very prevalent in the community and people were having a hard time dealing with the emotional and medical aspects. As time passed we felt that in order to make our services more useful, we would have to expand and continually bend to the community's needs. Today Sunshine House deals with people on a one-time basis. We are here to help with emotional and drug problems that persons encounter in daily living. If it is felt that a person needs, or wants additional help, we make use of our extensive referral file. Most of our services are in the form of phone counseling. Persons who make use of our services will find a friendly helping hand at the other end of the phone. Sunshine House also offers out-reach service in the case of an emergency when the person cannot come to us. Situations such as drug overdose, bad acid trips, medical emergencies, and the like may fit into our out-reach realm. Sunshine House is located at 106 Winspear Ave. (one block east of Main St., near U.B.). The door is open for those who wish to speak to someone on a one-to-one basis in an informal atmosphere. All of our services are strictly confidential. is staffed by Sunshine House volunteers who experience an extensive training program. Training consists of informative lectures and small group interactions. Sensitivity is stressed. Once training, the formal completing volunteers do "on the job training" with an experienced member of the House. Upon becoming a member, persons are required to work a minimum of four hours per week. Persons who are interested in getting involved with people, and who care about others, may be interested in working at Sunshine House. If you have any questions, or just want to rap with someone about what we do, give us a call at 831-4046. Stay happy. Drug and Youth Counseling Resources Besides our listed projects in drug and youth counseling we have numerous contacts with over 20 other agencies in the Buffalo-Erie County area that can place volunteers in a wide variety of environments relating to counseling of youths who have family, legal or drug problems, the openings vary and are not always available so that if you are interested in finding out about these other opportunities, feel free to stop by the CAC office and make an appointment to see the coordinators of the Drug and Youth Counseling projects.

Frequent group trips aid in encouraging the development of such fuller relationships between tutor and child. Other volunteers try to reach out to the children by helping to lead interest groups. Activities such as arts and crafts, cooking and recreation are given every semester. Sometimes groups in photography, dramatics and dance are open to the children. The Center always has a long waiting list of children desiring a tutor. Many of them have to do without, since tutors are in short from the project. Due to the lact of mass transportation to the reservation we are in need of cars. Volunteers who use their cars for transportation to the reservation will be reimbursed for the gas.

For many of them, there is little room to be themselves; they are forced to accept the same goals and attitudes of the majority. A Mentation, lack of interest in school, and falling behind in work are the results of this situation. We at CAC are trying to alleviate this problem in offering academic tutoring to the young Seneca Indians of the Tonawanda Indian Reservation in Akron, New York. The Indians range in age from grade school through high school. After a day at school they come home to the reservation where many of them congregate at the Community House which is a central building under the supervision of Mrs. Ramona (Norma) Charles. The Community House is equipped with basketball courts, a library, and rooms upstairs for studying. This building is where the CAC volunteers interact with the kids. On a separate evening we conduct creative arts and crafts projects with the kids. For arts and crafts and/or tutoring, four hours, one evening a week is required.

A volunteer need only give a limited amount of time per week, (one or two hours a week), provided it is done on a regular basis. -The hours are usually flexible and can be arranged once the volunteer is placed. ■This project is unique in that it provides the volunteer with a view of the state mental institution and the clientele it serves. Although there is no formal training session, supervision is given at the professional and paraprofessional level. The project itself also holds monthly meetings which give its volunteers a chance to discuss their experiences at the ■ hospital. City transportation is available as well as. the Elmwood-Bell campus bus. (It stops about four blocks from the state ; hospital.) CANTALICIAN CENTER FOR LEARNING 3233 Main Street, Buffalo, THE N.Y.14214 purposes and goals: The provide is to purpose rehabilitative, educational and utilitarian - General paramount instruction to the handicapped students so that they may become participating members of their community. Our goal is to help provide these mentally retarded children with a foundation and background of a variety of skills to use and build upon when they graduate. Objective of the volunteer: The to the volunteer is indispensible Cantalician Center for Learning because he can provide the extra rehabilitation and instruction for the child, augmenting that of the teacher. Perhaps the volunteer's individual encounters with the child or his personalized therapies will further increase and stabilize the child's knowledge. The volunteer can attain self-fulfillment and satisfaction within himself after he has worked with a mentally retarded child. It is an interpersonal “giving" process of established between the volunteer and the child. Volunteers are given a variety of opportunities in which to assist at the center. They can work within a classroom, with the class as a whole, or if they prefer, they may single out an individual child on a one-to-one basis. These activities range from learning to distinguish colors or tying a shoe. Those volunteers with specific interests such as speech therapy, occupational therapy, physical |herapy, art, dance, etc. are given an opportunity to do work in their intended field by planning and executing therapeutic methods of their own choice. The specialized therapies in the school include a language department, where the emphasis developing is on and remediating the speech and language of the motor perceptual children; a where development department a combination of physical and occupational skills are used; a creative arts class where dance therapy is utilized as a form of expression for the child; physical education; and specialized remedial reading, mathematical, socialization, and home economic skills are used for training purposes. This project is unique because its emphasis is not that of a public school. The emphasis is not academic but rather a total effort to train the child to perform to his fullest potential. This potential cannot be realized without the'assistance of volunteers. The volunteer is expected to work inimally at least one or two hours per week. Of course, he or she may work more than that if so desired. The school is open from 9am-2pm. CEREBRAL PALSY PROJECT - THE ELMER LUX HOSTEL The Cerebral Palsy Project is located at the facilities of the Western New York Cerebral Palsy Association at 100 Leroy Ave. Rehabilitation and educational here provide instituted programs opportunities for interaction between health care professionals, clients and volunteers alike. Volunteers can obtain useful experience in specific fields of rehabilitation, i.e. physical therapy, work in a classroom setting or in young adult recreational and tutorial programs. It is preferred that the volunteers donate 2 to 3 hours of time in one block per week at the minimum. Work in several areas does require training and reliability is a key factor in the maintenance of a cohesive program. Specifically, pre-K, nursery programs are day care and scheduled from 8:30-2:30, Monday through Friday while the young adult programs run Monday through Thursday from 10 to 4 o'clock. While most of the clients here manifest some physical handicap, even a student not directly interested in such therapy can derive many worthwhile experiences and opportunities to grow as a result of their volunteer work here. Teachers are' helpful and informative making the most "novice” of volunteers feel welcome and a necessary part of the activity. The Elmer Lux Hostel for the Developmentally Disabled is located at 119 Halbert Avenue across the street from the Leroy Ave. Cerebral Palsy Center. This Hostel is a "first of its kind" communal program dedicated to the de-institutionalization of rehabilitative programs. At present 14 clients live at the Hostel while taking part in evaluations and training programs nearby. Volunteers who can devote at least 4 hours at a time to working evenings and on weekends in this unique mutual-learning situation are welcome. MEYER MEMORIAL HOSPITAL 462 Grider Street, Buffalo, N.Y. Purposes and goals: The purpose is to provide teaching learning a and �experience for the student. Volunteers are utilized in all areas of hospital work. The student can learn about hospital work and at the same time help patients. Also, the staff at the hospital continue to have a growing respect for the student volunteers, which helps both the individual student and the entire university community. Objectives: The student, while learning and teaching, can satisfy his/her own needs to help others. Working in a hospital helps many Students to decide upon a vocation for themselves. Many people in the health professions acquired their desire for their profession through volunteer work in a hospital The student can hope to attain a feeling of self-respect and confidence in his/her ability to help others and help himself. (Hopefully, this experience will help the student decide upon his/her career.) As noted, the students are placed in all areas of hospital work. If the student expresses a desire to be placed in a particular area, most likely he/she will be. The number of hours the student works is dependent on where the student is placed. Three hours is about average. This hospital is different from many as it is a general hospital offering a variety of services. A student desiring any type of hospital experience will most likely be able to find it at Meyer. This type of work will mostly attract people with an interest in physical and psychological disfunctions, as well as lab work. The 13-A bus can be used which takes the student to the hospital. This can be picked up at Bailey and Hlghgate. Car pools can be arranged if the volunteers are willing. Other forms of transportation can be provided by CAC. PREGNANCY COUNSELING 343 Norton Hall, SUNV campus General purpose: The purpose is to offer counseling and information on all aspects of human sexuality. Volunteers need to give at least a minimum of three hours a week. The project appeals widely to people with interests in medicine, counseling, and women's rights. The following are required a commitment of at least three hours per week for at least a year; a rubella test (and vaccine if needed); and a training session (minimum 2days). — THE U.B. BIRTH CONTROL CLINIC 343 Norton Hall, SUNV campus The Birth Control Clinic was formed contraceptive to provide care and instruction for the members of the University community at a reduced cost to the patient. Volunteers provide all staff for the clinic and its instructional objective activities. The for the volunteeris to provide an education in methods of contraception and then to provide that contraception to fellow students in a professional clinic setting. As such, volunteers work in the office, making appointments and counseling patients, taking health histories and selling contraceptives. Volunteers also teach classes in contraception and venereal disease, distribute contraceptives and sterilize instruments. The clinic is in the process of organizing a library on contraceptive methods and venereal disease, and much opportunity is available for students with an interest in researching and collecting information on the subject. Volunteers may work generally as their schedules permit, from four hours a week to four hours a month, but due to the nature of the service we are rendering, it is important that volunteers be dependable in their jobs. The clinic should appeal to people who have a desire to help their fellows in a direct and relevant way. Students in the health sciences or schools of nursing, pharmacy and social welfare should be able to find particular meaning in their work as it relates to their major field of interest. Training is provided in specific areas within the clinic by experienced instructors who are themselves volunteers in the clinic. The U.B. Birth Control Clinic is completly separate from the University Health Services, with its own staff and records. The clinic was organized by students and is still an entirety student-directed business. Community Action Corps is our sole source of volunteers. If you're interested in the concept of students helping students, come in. We need you. VETERANS' ADMINISTRATION HOSPITAL 3495 Bailey Avenue across from main campus The volunteer work at the VA Hospital is divided into two programs general volunteer work and the student companion program. Limited positions are available for general volunteers in lab work and therapy work (i.e. OT, PT), as well as openings in escort service. — Student companions are assigned to a "neuropsychiatric patient" on either the psychiatric or alcoholic ward. The student visits his patient 2-3 hours/week at a time they decide upon (they are not restricted to the hospital visiting hours). Hopefully, through this one-to-one relationship, the student and patient will develop a meaningful relationship, which is mutually beneficial/ The Student Companion Program is unique in providing a weekly supervisory meeting. A small group of volunteers meet with a graduate student of clinical psychology to discuss their work, problems and progress, to answer questions, and to receive feedback on the program. This weekly meeting should increase the student's understanding of what it is like to be a psychiatric patient, of hospital services, and of hospital life. This experience volunteer should introduce students interested in health care to the hospital environment. The Student Companion Program appeals especially to students interested in mental health care and counseling services. Participation in an orientation meeting which acquaints the new volunteer with hospital rules and procedures is a prerequisite for volunteering in the VA. WEST SENECA STATE SCHOOL 1200 East West Road, West Seneca, N.Y. At the project in the children's ward at the West Seneca State School, we will bf working with boys and girls between the ages of four to seven. The purpose is a simple one, to offer the children an alternative to watching television, at least for the one night we can spend playing with them. We will be working in the area of recreation, doing different activities each week. The goal is to offer stimulating experiences for the children. Each week we will try to offer specific projects so that the activity can accomplish certain preset goals and be worthwhile to the children. Since we will be working at a state institution, the whole atmosphere will be different from that of private institutions. People who have not had the experience of working at a state hospital will find the whole structure of operations a learning experience in itself. Most of the wards have 25-30 children and 2 nurses at night. The ward we will be working in will consist mainly of mongoloid and mentally retarded children. Anyone interested in special education can gain a good insight into the effects of institutional living. The children are starving for love and attention, and just your physical presence will make them happy. Some of the children have specific psychological and neurological disorders. The nurses' job is mainly maintenance because of the child-adult ratio and we could help out by giving the children some of the attention they desperately need. One thing to stresses the commitment a volunteer is making'to the children once he/she joins this project. Many of the �children mark the beginning of the week by the day the volunteer comes. It is very sad to see a child disappointed because up. their friend didn't show Transportation will be provided and the project will be on either Wed. or Thurs. night from 6-8pm (we will leave Norton at 5:30). PROJECT RETURN Return is a citizen's to dedicated the rehabilitation and social reintegration of emotionally handicapped the to community living. The main goal of the volunteers involved in Project Return is to help and assist the individual bridge the gap and adjustment from the mental hospital to the community. Project organization THE SOCIAL CLUB MOVEMENT The social club allows the ex-patient to move around in an atmosphere of warmth and acceptance. Operation of social clubs for the former mental patient throughout the country has provided evidence that the acquisition of social and improved interpersonal skills relationships pay big dividends in the total rehabilitation of the mentally restored for it assures him a basic foundation on which his further rehabilitation depends. SELF HELP Self Help has no one location but its volunteers will find themselves working at different social functions. Its purpose and center involving goals around handicapped men and women in the community. It is an effort to help them leave their homes for recreation and meetings. There is a group of people who desperately to get together to organize activities and help for the handicapped in the Buffalo area. The the will accompany volunteers handicapped to these meetings and social functions in the hope that they will learn try more about how to deal with someone with a physical handicap. Volunteers must work a minimum of four hours a month. Self Help is the only project dealing with the handicapped living at home. It provides the service of getting them back into the community. SERVICES FOR THE MENTALLY OF ERIE COUNTY RETARDED (SMREC) 2960 Main Street The goal of this agency is to provide a "continuum of care" for the mentally retarded adult or young adult. Any person residing in Erie County, who is or may be mentally retarded, is eligible for service. "Continuum of care" is defined as the proper selection, coordination and use of all medical, educational and social services required by a retarded person to minimize the disability at every point during his life. Many services are opened to the normal individual yet it is the retarded individual, who usually needs life-long care, who is least able to obtain services. SMREC is geared to determine the needs and provide the necessary services. The object of the volunteer is to aid the caseworkers in SMREC by usually being involved personally with providing the services needed by individual clients. There are many different types of services which the volunteer may be called on to do. The volunteer may work in the areas of tutoring, mobility training, socialization, or babysitting. Tutoring a client usually involves helping him in such practical areas as reading newspapers, a menu, or teaching him how to read 'danger' signs.lt could also involve teaching him how to tell time, make a phone call, count money, or find what movies are locally playing. Mobility training usually involves teaching the client how to take a bus to a job or even shopping. The term socialization involves being a friend, by taking the client to movies or to dinner, etc.; in short, to be a personal friend and get the client to take an active part in society. Babysitting services involve being available to the family of a client so that he is not left Usually, alone. the volunteer is interviewed by a social worker in SMREC and then put on a case depending upon his, interests. He is then left on his own, or under the guidance of SMREC to perform the services needed. This agency is of special interest to those volunteers who want to carry out their own interests yet do not want a rigid structure under which to serve. This is a one-to-one service which the volunteer can develop and carry out under his own plan of interests. There is no training program as such given to the volunteer. However, the social workers at SMREC always interview each volunteer and take time to find a client which suits each volunteer. The social workers also take time to explain the case to the volunteer and give advice as to how to carry out the services needed by th client. The social worker then keeps in contact with both the volunteer and client to see how things are progressing. In general, SMREC enables the volunteer to give special individual help to the mentally retarded adult in the areas of interest to both the volunteer and the client. Legal and Welfare Rights Program CAC has contacted or has been contacted by various groups working in Buffalo in the area of legal and welfare rights. Descriptions of these programs are listed below. There are still many groups which haven't been reached, but the development of resource contacts is a continuing process. Once a group has been reached, one of their members is established as a contact person to facilitate communication between it and CAC. When a contact demands a more structured participation on the part of CAC or an internal program needs to be more clearly defined, a formal project is organized. Presently, there are two projects in the realm of the legal and welfare area; the ACLU and WRAP projects are explained below. To clarify the task of the legal and welfare coordination, the following outline is given: 1, To contact and to be contacted by community organizations utilizing staff member; 2. To determine if these organizations are related to the goals of CAC; 3. To publicize this information to non-paid university students; 4. To evaluate community contacts (what work is being done by the students and how the students feel about the work they are doing) and to collect feedback and suggestions for further community contact; 5. To provide training seminars where applicable and to develop a resource library which will contain information on what other cities and states are doing, periodicals such as Clearinghouse Review, Workforce, the Challenger and other useful books and journals. Suggestions and contributions are accepted. To accomplish these tasks, the internal work of Legal and Welfare will utilize people as resource aides for (1), (2), (3), �(5) and evaluators and program planners for (4).

The volunteer will obtain insight into the needs of the elderly and hopefully will be motivated to take action toward improvement of the elderly's distressful conditions of existence. The experience will hopefully enlighten the volunteer to the fact that if something isn't done, they will have the same pitiful problems in their later years. The volunteer mostly deals with shut-ins and in addition to the idea of providing companionship, can run light errands. The volunteer is expected to work 2-3 hours a week or whatever arrangements they make with the person they are visiting. This is the only program in CAC that exists for the sole benefit of the elderly. Plans for training seminars are in progress and should begin this semester.

Be—a—friend sponsors sporting games and trips to events, theaters and local sights. On an individual basis, each friend encourages his or her child’s natural interests and tries to introduce new horizons and goals. Volunteers act in a big brother/big sister role. They give the children the benefit of a male or female influence in their lives. It can be truly harmful for a child to have his new "friend" quit after a short period of time.

For example, “the City University of New York last fall became the first major institution to put a numerical restraint on the proportion of full-time faculty members who may be granted tenure.” 9 New model Dr. Mettlin explained that UUP is “developing a new model of representation which we feel overcomes the problems noted above. We are adapting the traditional labor union model to a new form of employee representation designed to meet the unique situation of a by Renee Ryhnck Spectrum Staff Writer Collective bargaining and unions for faculty members are becoming more familiar on college campuses. In the last seven years, union membeiship among college professors, student counselors, librarians and other non-teaching professionals has increased from 3000 in 1966 to approximately 82,300 today. The faculties of 212 institutions arc now organized into some form of collective bargaining arrangement. No faculty has ever abandoned collective bargaining once it has had a taste of it. The passage of state laws granting collective bargaining rights to public employees must precede unionization on any state campus. The absence of such laws in many states accounts for most of the nation’s professors who have not unionized. In NewYork State, the Taylor Law governs state employee relations. Although strikes are illegal, collective bargaining is permitted to negotiate working conditions. university.” ' ■ ' The collegial model has not been abandoned. “We still work in an academic fashion with our colleagues,” Dr. Mettlin emphasized. Grievances of faculty members ate resolved through the process of peer review by a collegial panel, which later makes its report to the President of the University. Working conditions and salary matters are handled by the Office of Employee Relations (OER) in Albany,.but “we meet as a union with the OER to negotiate our contracts, file improper practices suits and contemplate job actions,” explained Dr. Mettlin. The labor union model is followed insofar as professional labor lawyers ate sent by the union to lobby in the State Legislature. Unlike labor unions, however, there is still provision for “discretionary money,” which the administration distributes as rewards for excellence. Dr. Mettlin pointed out that “Article 16 of the contract assures the University that we are not after parity.” Move to the fore Three years ago, faculty members at this University “came to the forefront of the emergence of collective bargaining on campuses,” according to Sociology professor Curtis Mettlin, Membership Chairman of the State University of Buffalo’s chapter of United University Professions (UUP). UUP is comprised of the merged affiliates of the American Federation of Teachers (AFT) and the National Education Association (NEA). UUP boasts 4100 members throughout the SUNY system, including 300 members from the State University of Buffalo. Three key areas of conflict have made many faculty members and administrators wary of unionization. Dr. Mettlin explained. “Some hold that universities and unions by thejr very nature ate incompatible,” he noted. “A university operates on -a collegial model, while a union is based on an adversary model with management and staff set against each other.” He added: “Universities are characterized by people engaged in individual effort, with varied interests; in a union, collective bargaining stems from common interests.” In a university, he continued, “people, get ahead on th£: oasis of meritorious assumption that performance; unions operate rewards are distributed to induce parity between people,” -•wavw- Dr.Mettlin said. />/-/// ,ij0 Possible destruction They may also fear the possible destruction of good and faculty administration, between relationships obsolescence of traditional forms of faculty governance such as senates, the introduction of rigidity into standardization of salaries. decision-making, and > _ Collective bargaining, unions gain popularity on campuses jr-m control of discrimination in personnel judgements. fl9( ... Successful efforts Dr. Mcttlin believes the union’s efforts so far have successful.” They are currently “reasonably negotiating the contract for the next three years, and are concluding the process of obtaining a 6% across-the-board raise from last year. been “Because of difficulties such as these,” said Dr. Mettlin, “the development of union organizations on campuses is controversial.” However, incentives for collective bargaining may outweigh the problems that some people anticipate. According to the Chronicle of Higher Education, collective bargaining is encouraged by the following considerations: —tightness of funds for University budgets and faculty salaries; .1 -leveling-off of enrollments; -poor job market for PhD’s; —shifting of power from local campuses to state-wide bureaucracies; -authoritarian policies of some college administrators; generally —professors are not “independent professionals with considerable decision-making power;” The main problem faced by the union at this point, said Dr. Mettlin, is membership. Because only a small proportion of faculty members belong to the union, “we appear to the state to be a weakened union with little bargaining power, and they take advantage of our newness.” He is hopeful that more people will see the benefit of belonging to the union: “We can only grow. It is not in their [the faculty’s] interest to withhold support from an organization which is negotiating on their behalf,” he said. of faculty unionization vary widely or university involved,” the Times reported. Public institutions as a whole are heavily unionized; however, unionization is correspondingly weak in private schools. “It is too soon to predict a trend,” wrote the Times “but the unions have long known that there is a big gap between a professor expressing interest in a union and actually voting for one.” What is predictable, though, is that “collective bargaining is a catalyst capable of altering the basic direction of higher education.” “The patterns with the type of college , Tenants Union to aid in obtaining student housing A Tenants Union designed to help students choose adequate housing and responsible landlords will begin operating this week.

Consequently, prospective tenants can determine whether there are any necessary repairs which their landlords neglected to mention. Additional information will cover such items as damage and security deposits, pets and whether the landlord is sympathetic, apathetic, or a “pain in the ass,” Mr. Palefsky explained. In addition to providing factual information based on reports from previous students, the Union will advise Tenants students to “stay away from certain landlords,” according to Mr. Palefsky. However, a blacklist will not be instituted.

The Council will vote tomorrow on whether to approve a legislative committee recommendation that the present zoning law be altered to permit construction of an IBM office complex, or to retain the current codes and thus preserve the mansions and the estates on which they are located. A legislative committee voted last Tuesday to recomment rezoning of the estates under provisions of a “Special Development Clause” adopted in 1950 and used pnly ten times since. If the Council ratifies the recommendation, IBM will be free to develop the land and construct its planned office building. The present owners of the mansions, the Children’s Aid Society and Catholic Archdiocese of Buffalo, have already indicated a willingness to sell the land to IBM for a sum believed to be close to $600,000. Rezoning an issue Efforts' to save the mansions have centered around the Friends of Delaware Avenue and a recently formed subsidiary, Save the Mansions, Inc. These organizations have battled the plans to tear down the mansions ever since the original proposal was made by IBM. Original efforts centered around an attempt to prevent rezpning and keep the mansions in the hands of their current owners. When this plan failed, an attempt was made to raise funds and buy the mansions through the Save the Mansions corporation. They are planning to solicit stock in their corporation to provide funds to purchase the land, maintain the mansions in their current state, and put them to historical or cultural use. Acreage in question Larry Battista, organizer of the group, has consistently said the attempt to rezone the property is illegal since the zoning codes specify that a plot must be at least ten acres to qualify for the “Special Development Clause.” The three njansions cover 4.6 acres. He is now attempting to have the Common Council delay any action until the spring, when his corporation will have had time to raise funds and make a bid for the property. A new angle was added to the problem two weeks ago when Building Science, Inc. delivered to the Landmark Society of the Niagara Frontier, a study suggesting that IBM construct its office building behind the three mansions. The study said the office and adjacent parking lots could be located on the site without threatening the mansions if the plans were altered. The Landmark Society will present the proposal to IBM before tomorrow’s Council meeting. The University’s Community Action Corps has joined the Friends of Delaware Avenue and various other concerned groups in urging residents to call their councilmen and register their sentiments on the mansion issue. In stock: endless frustration, long lines of Bookstore Long lines at the University Bookstore for unavailable texts have marked the beginning of every semester. Attempting to alleviate the problem of running out of books, some, instructors and departments have often sought out other bookstores. In the past two years, Buffalo Textbook on Main Street has picked up the book orders of 350 insfructors, according to store manager Bruce Brim. The English Department was the first to switch to Buffalo Xextiu.th* .spjf ingof 1V72.VJ’ job for them; after that, the numbers increased,” said Mr. Brim. “We try to follow up on orders and runouts,” he emphasized. The University Bookstore has initiated some reforms to grapple with this problem. The creation of departmental “liasons” is potentially a major step toward improved service. Each liaison is responsible for compiling the orders for its department and getting them in on time. This allows the Bookstore to deal with one representative instead of individual instructors. Realistic needs All orders are analyzed by the Bookstore to the realistic needs of courses. The variables involved in this process are the department’s p >t enrollments, projected enrollment, and the quantity of available used books. A safety margin of 10% is added to the final sum. determine Because instructors usually overestimate the number of books they will need, the Bookstore is inclined to order fewer books, but tacks on 10% to this figure as an insurance measure. This informa on is then sent back to the instructor for a last check via the appropriate liaison. “Service has improved 100% due to this liaison,” said Dolores Georger, assistant to the chairman of the Chemistry Department. EXCEPTIONAL OPPORTUNITY to work in a unique summer However, Bookstore Manager Tom Moore pointed out that all the departments have not created liaisons. In addition, different liaisons vary in their efficiency. While admitting the Bookstore still makes mistakes in its calculations and that some courses are easier to work with than others, Mr. Moore was generally satisfied with the new arrangement. In the event of a runout, the Bookstore attempts .to purchase additional books as quickly as possible. “We’ve tried Norton, Buffalo Text and Everyman’s Bookstore and we’re not satisfied,” said English Department Secretary Debbie Janik. “Our orders are always in way before time, yet we’re not notified in time if a book is out of print,” she added. “This is a big problem for the teacher and it really hurts the students.” Both Mr. Brim and Mr. Moore attributed part of the problem to the publishers. Occasionally, orders are either shipped slowly, misplaced or out of stock. Furthermore, publishers are sometimes negligent in informing bookstores about out-of-print or out-of-stock books.

The court will supply a lawyer when necessary Most cases don’t go to court, Mr. Effman noted. At Sattlcr’s department store in the Boulevard Mall, shoplifters are always prosecuted, a security staff member indicated. But Bob Mears from the Record Runner in the University Plaza was the most animated concerning this subject. Although there is little shoplifting at the Record Runner, Mr. Mears did not want to appear as if his establishment is easy prey for the prospective thief. “We we tackle them,” Mr. Mears exclaimed. jump on them Student shoplifting is on the rise again after a sharp drop last year, according to Norm Effman, attorney for the University’s Legal Aid Clinic, and local retail establishments are attempting to curtail it. Shoplifters steal about $35,000 to $40,000 worth of merchandise from the University Bookstore each year, reported Bookstore manager Tom Moore. To counteract this, the Bookstore is planning to implement a security system in the near future, Mr. Moore said. Many local stores utilize security systems that have met with limited success. In their attempts to limit loss, stores prosecute a very high percentage of the alleged shoplifters. P. Edison, head of Security at AM&A’s department store, estimated that 99% of accused pilferers are prosecuted. “It costs us too much money not to prosecute,” he explained. ... Stiff penalties When caught shoplifting at the University Bookstore, an offender must go on trial before the Student Judiciary. If apprehended in a retail business establishment off campus, the accused is arrested by the Buffalo police. Mr. Effman explained the subsequent legal procedures After arraignment for the charge of petty However, those found guilty of “petty larceny” may be sentenced to one year in jail, a $1000 fine, or both. The sentence can be reduced in a plea-bargaining process, where the charge becomes a “disorderly conduct” misdemeanor, similar to a parking ticket. Punishment for this charge can run up to 15 days in jail, $250 fine, or both. For a first offender, however, the punishment can be reduced even further even though he will have a mug-shot and fingerprints on police files. There have been reports of judges who are intent on “cracking down” on shoplifters, students or not, by handing out stiff jail sentences to convicted shoplifters. A judge in Tonawanda has publicly stated his intent to mete out the maximum sentence to anyone caught stealing in that town. Potential thieves take note: The message that security officers and owners of retail stores want to communicate is that they will prosecute shoplifters as often as possible. Tuition assistance New aid program designed to replace Incentive awards A major restructuring of the Regents Scholar Incentive program is likely to be passed next week by the New York State Legislature. Peter J. Assemblyman Costigan, Chairman of the Select Committee on Higher Education, will propose the new Tuition Assistance Program (TAP) in of maximizing access to higher education for all students. TAP would still recognize “scholastic excellence” as determined on the Regents Scholarship exam. Mr. Costigan hopes to foster and maintain a healthy equilibrium between aid to public and private school students. The program has the support of 23 Senators and 70 Assemblymen, including the Assmebly Speaker, Perry 6. Duryea. At its peak during the four year phase-in the program would offer program, substantial financial aid to a projected 81,000 students in private and parochial colleges and universities and 70,000 at public institutions. TAP is basically designed to replace the First Assembly Scholar Incentive awards with more aid to students, due to a more equitable determination of a family’s net taxable income. Students at the State University of New York may still receive awards up to full tuition, while those attending private institutions can receive up to $2000 per year. Mr. Costigan said a “by-product” of the plan would be a “stop to the outward migration of students to colleges and universities outside the state.” At present, Governor Malcolm Wilson has not made any comment regarding the Costigan proposal. However, because of the wide sponsorship of the legislation in both houses, it seems likely to pass. A spokesman for Governor Wilson said he had only allotted $35 million in next year’s for education-related budget state expenses. current Aids middle income families The program as now drafted will cost about $41 million in the first year, and meeting of the Semester $123 million in its final and sustaining years, Mr. Costigan explained. Although the cost appears high, Mr. Costigan said the benefit would accrue to greatest middle-income families who have been unable to qualify for assistance in the past. A family with a net income of $11,000, for example, would receive $1,280 for a child attending private school, while a family with a $15,000 net income would receive a maximum of $500. In a related action, the Nixon Administration has proposed a 200% increase in the Basic Opportunity Grants (BOG) program for the years 1975-76. The proposal came in a message with the theme of streamlining the numerous Federal aid-to-education packages. The message contained a note of conciliation, in sharp contrast to the two vetoes and late passage of education bills in recent years.

A ‘quiet comeback’ to quiet campuses by Guy Lewit Staff Writer Spectrum handing out slickly produced answering brochures and questions some pointed but few hostile from passing students,” the article said. “Cadets themselves report they encounter little antagonism from anti-war elements.” *A : nt OTTlltAnil;.",) — The firebomb attack on the Reserve Officer Training Corps (ROTC) classrooms in the spring of 1970 marked the end of the Department of Defense program at this University. This event climaxed months of violence by SDS activists and students who were protesting U.S. involvement in the Cambodian war. As a result of these protests, new individuals were not allowed to enter the program. Those who were already participating in the program were their allowed to complete here or at commitment neighboring institutions. “As I recall, there were still some individuals participating in the program as late as May or June 1972, but they were the Executive Vice last,” said President Albert Somit. “After they left, the program was officially terminated. The faculty voted to end it then and avoid further possible violence,” he stated. Although there are no future plans to reinstate ROTC activities at the State University at Buffalo, the possibility of such an occurence exists. Across the nation, ROTC is experiencing a quiet but steady comeback. According to a Los Angeles Times article, enrollments have increased at Berkeley and several other institutions. — While the hostility may have abated, ROTC enrollments have still declined sharply, the article continued. In 1970, enrollment reached 155,946 and by last October had dropped to a little over 60,000. During that period, all but 20 of 161 schools with ROTC compulsory programs dropped them. The end of the draft eliminated another powerful ROTC attraction. — Pkge six The Spectrum Monday, 28 January 1974 .

Now there are some signs of recovery. ROTC is currently being offered on 392 campuses in the United States, compared to 353 in 1970. At Stanford, Dartmouth and other institutions that dropped the program, efforts arc being made to reinstate it. Col. Carl F.

For the past five years the Collegiate System has allowed us, as students, the opportunity to take part in the shaping of our educational experience. With this opportunity came the responsibility to take seriously the work and conditions of the Colleges, both present and future. This meant that we suggested courses, and worked with faculty and interested persons from the community on developing them. We have taught and participated in arduous consultations to improve our skills in meeting the educational needs of students in our courses. In addition we devised continuously governance systems and evaluated and revised them to meet both the needs of our severely underbudgeted units and our needs for egalitarian participation. Our governance also had to cope with harassment by a hostile administration. It is because of these responsibilities that it is now necessary for us to speak out about the proposed changes in collegiate organization currently being debated in the Faculty Senate. Under the terms of the Collegiate Prospectus which expires this April, the Colleges have as developed small, decentralized egalitarian programs in contrast to the impersonality of this vast, hierarchially organized University. Equally important, the Colleges have maintained the spirit of educational experimentation so clearly absent in the bulk of the ‘University. The aim of our work has been to add additional dimensions to this University. We are concerned with developing alternative approaches to subject matter taught elsewhere in the University, responding to real social needs, ilnd addressing ourselves to socialproblems. Some of pur accomplishments hwdade. -cdmmunity oriented . law., and , health programs, work in free schools, interdisciplinary approaches to mathematical sciences and social sciences, explorations of the culture and history of women, etc. Due to the new and experimental nature of our system the Collegiate Prospectus mandated that a review of the Collegiate System take place this year. The results of the review were to be considered when the prospectus was examined to see what changes might be necessary for the continued development of the Colleges. The first stage of the review was held last spring when each College was examined by teams of three UB faculty members. The from these committees were reports overwhelmingly favorable. The second stage was held this fall by five educators of national prominence. These educators sat in on courses and talked to students, faculty and administrators. The report saw the Colleges as a valuable and necessary part of the University. It stressed that experimentation involved taking risks and that innovative programs should not be crippled by fear of failure. While stating that a new college system should be chartered, it emphasized the necessity of significant input from the existing units to provide continuity. The Reichart Committee seems to have ignored virtually all the favorable aspects of these reviews when drawing up the Majority Report. There are seven major problems in the report as we see it. If the Reichart report is passed most of the existing programs would be eliminated or greatly transformed. I. Chartering As it is currently amended, the chartering committee will consist of 6 faculty members, 2 members of the college council (or Collegiate Assembly until the College Council becomes functional), 2 undergraduates chosen by SA, one graduate student chosen by GSA and a member of the Academic Affairs Council (AAC). These will all be voting members with 2 year terms. In addition, 3 Vice Presidents, the Dean of Undergraduate Studies, the Dean of the Colleges and the of the Faculty Chairman Senate Committee on the Colleges (FSCC) are included as non-voting members. We object to this composition on the following grounds: A) While the Majority Report mentions in its rationale that it expects the faculty on the committee would not be chosen from those hostile to the colleges there is no written assurance of this. We feel that it is important that the Prospectus be amended to say the members of the committee be mutually agreeable to the Faculty Senate Committee on the Colleges and the Collegiate System. B) Though Prof. Hyman’s amendment to allow 2 members of the Collegiate Assembly to take part in the initial chartering' procedute was friendly to the Colleges it does not go far enough. The Extramural Review Team recommends that 4 members of the present system be on the chartering committee. We feel that this representation or a larger number take into account the experience and acquired wisdom of experimental education possessed by those currently working in the colleges. This should not be seen as a bid for control of the committee but rather as one for continuity between the current system and the proposed one, one that gives us a significant role in the shaping of our future. C) The presence of the Academic, Health Science and Student Affairs Vice Presidents and that of the Dean of Undergraduate Studies is a severe detriment to the Committee. These administrators, by virture of the offices that they fill must uphold conventional criteria of Academic acceptability. As the Extramural Reyiew points out it is a contradiction of the purpose and idea of experimental education to use these standards in judging the Colleges. This should not be taken as an attack on the men who fill these offices, but rather as a realistic evaluation of the pressures initiated by their jobs. II. Faculty Participation The Majority Report requires that the charter of each proposed College include a list of initial faculty and their vitas; a statement of how other faculty will be chosen, and evidence that there will be substantial faculty participation. Additionally, it states that a College can be dissolved because of loss, “without adequate replacement” of key faculty or of the Master or Administrative officer. We object to this section on the following grounds: A) By the Colleges to explicitly define Faculty participation and responsibility, a hierarchy is imposed on the units. The Colleges’ mode of egalitarian organization is severely threatened. Our strength has been the equal participation of faculty, students and community people. By singling out and making primary one segment of the College, the formerly beneficial interaction between faculty and students will be forced into hierarchial modes of interaction. In addition, we fear that potentially beneficial disagreements with faculty will end if their participation is essential to the survival of the unit. B) The Report does not guarantee the Colleges the right to hire full-time faculty. Thus, dependence on faculty participation indirectly at best makes the Colleges dependent on the good will and support of the various departments and at worst makes servants of Colleges the departments. The Majority Report solicits departmental but cannot support, guarantee if. The Prospectus can guarantee the Colleges the right to hire their own fatuity and we wish to see this made explicit in the document. C) The document does not recognize collegiate faculty and minimizes the value and importance of such people. We feel that it is time the University community recognize the valuable contribution of collegiate faculty and defined both departmental and collegiate faculty as important, each in their own right. III. Master An essential theme of the Majority Report is that each college shall have a master. The hierarchy that results from this is detrimental to the spirits of cooperative which allows full government for participation of students, departmental faculty, collegiate faculty and community persons. By institutionalizing the position of Master, by emphasizing that she should be a full-time faculty member and by indicating her salary, the report makes it if not impossible to develop another form. Colleges might as well be departments in this system. We believe that it is not necessary for one person to assume the responsibilities laid out in the Majority Report, that it can be done, perhaps more very difficult effectively, by a committee, group or any other structure that an individual college may propose, as long as one person is responsible for communicating with the Dean. IV. Experimental Courses Presently Collegiate under the Prospectus, experimental may be offered by the colleges on a one-semester pending Assembly Collegiate basis, approval. There is no provision for experimental courses under the Majority Report; all courses will have to go to the courses Curriculum Committee of the Division of Undergraduate Studies for approval before they can be offered by a college. Maintenance of an experimental format is critical for our existence because it provides for short-term commitments for all concerned in dealing with interesting but untried ideas. Experimental courses provide for a growing edge to curriculum as a sound basis of experience. The semester limit before review is a minimum risk for an educational structure presumably devoted to innovation and experimentation. V. Workshops The concept of workshops to test proposals for possible colleges is one of the only progressive aspects of the Majority Report. However, it is hampered by an unrealistic appraisal of conditions and lack pf faith in the colleges. The report calls for the workshops to offer courses on a non-credit basis. It does not take an exceptionally perceptive individual to recognize that any non-credit course added on top of the 16 or 20 hours a student already carries will have to be watered down in terms of workload. And to be realistic, it must be admitted that most students would be forced to make such courses a low priority, and that credit adds validity and reward to a course. In addition, in a period of financial austerity, it seems ironic that tax money and student tuition will be used to finance courses carrying no credit. We recommend that the workshops be allowed to offer courses on an experimental credit-bearing basis. VI. Funding Continually the one constant in the life of the Colleges has been a severe lack of funds. Much of the “inefficiency and irresponsibility,” a permanent fixture in the negative stereotype or the present Collegiate System, could have been avoided through adequate funding commensurate with the amount of work done.

This time students cannot fault the actions of President Robert Ketter, who quickly intervened, gave all the cancelled courses a chance for reinstatement, and delivered the message personally to students and Collegians in the Fillmore Room. He and DUS Dean Charles Ebert thus endured some verbal abuse for Dr. Gelbaum's error, in which they had no part; their attempt to correct the situation in person provided a sharp contrast to Dr. Gelbaum's memo writing. Student Association also played an instrumental role in reversing the cancellations, and SA President Jon Dandes has displayed some long-awaited academic leadership by calling for Dr. Gelbaum's dismissal as well as total restoration of the cancelled courses. While Dr. Ketter has not yet reacted to the criticisms of Dr. Gelbaum, for whose actions he has often had to take the blame, some insiders say his granting the three University deans broarded responsibilies is designed not only to decentralize decision-making and facilitate direct communication, but to give the deans a greater role in academic programs and confine Dr. Gelbaum to budgetary matters, where he may communicate with facts and figures better than he has with students. No one should make the mistake of viewing the incident as a partisan battle between students and the Academic Affairs vice-president, however. Many administrators were privately furious at Dr. Gelbaum's unilateral action, and his one-man rule of past years has alienated most of the faculty as well. We feel that if faculty members were also to express their dissatisfaction with Dr. Geibaum, Dr. Ketter would be under pressure from every segment of the academic community to rectify the situation. We urge them to speak up, not out of vindictiveness against Dr. GelbaurW, who coiild surely serve the University in some other capacity, but to Halt M, irtost achieve some tiomrfiuhldatibrV importantly, to insure that the Collages will survive.'

(As a side issue I keep trying to figure out how to respond to such a situation jin terms of what punishment fits the crime."Clearly it is illegal to take such drastic measures as physically damaging the car, and I suspect it is of dubious morality too. Is there such a thing as a citizen’s citation for parking violation? How would they handle it on Kung Fu?) Wherein lies the built-in difficulty. My perception is that anybody who is going to keep coming back to this confusion is going to have at least some rudimentary grasp on what I am muttering about. (Unless they are searching for examples for a mental deviance textbook.) I make an assumption about people which is hard to justify, particularly in the light of reality. Namely that people tend not to do to other people what they do not like having done to them. In the current example, if you have had to drive around looking for a parking space for a long, long time muttering and cursing at the people using up more than one space, then you will tendyVOT’ to use up more than one space. Should you ever see more than one open at a time, that is. Perhaps that is why I tend to watch Kung-Fu on the odd Thursday night that I have free. It is basically an optimistic show, one which begins with a premise that at least some people are basically decent and can be reasoned with. And it is done well enough so that 1 can suspend belief and flow with it for a while. There are, in reality, or at least current 1 z-vzr reality, things which provide me with great doubt There is a built-in difficulty, at least in my head, with the kind of communication that 1 try to reach for here when I am moderately together-leave us kindly leave last week out of this discussion. To wit and namely, if you are reading this you are doing so voluntarily. Which is already some sort of comment on where your head is. The specific point around which all this revolves is the old parking hassle. Here we are back to Administration control over the Colleges. Dr. Gelbaum's action exposed the naivete of relying on administrative "good faith," as supporters of the Reichert Prospectus are urging. In its headlong rush to achieve "legitimacy," the Reichert Prospectus goes much too far in relegating the Colleges to stifling Administrative control. The Senate must find the fine line between safeguards to insure academic integrity for the Colleges, and a degree of autonomy which will permit experimentation, non-traditional and alternative approaches, and input from professional community people who may not necessarily have a string of degrees. Although it is being passed off as bureaucratic confusion, the way in which the 16 College E courses were cancelled is an ironic commentary on who desk-bound administrators view as qualified to teach in the Colleges: They went down the list and cancelled the course of every instructor who didn't have a B.A. No thought for qualifications, expertise, just whether or not the instructor had a degree. experience The next logical outgrowth of this obsession with credentials is that no one without a PhD will be allowed to teach College courses all in the interests of "legitimacy," of course. In the vast University bureaucracy of computerized Chemistry and Engineering departments and standardized requirements, the Colleges have provided students with a chance to experience education, participate in their own curriculum, explore alternative views and approaches to life, whether in yoga, photography, parapsychology, media, radical politics or community involvement. But the Faculty-Senate's conservatism, whether due to the tight Management economy and lack of teaching jobs or mere conventionalism, threatens to put an end to the Collegiate experimentation To the Editor. which has stimulated so many students. Unfortunately, Fac-Sen committee undergraduate Bob Kole has a naive, officers of the the We, newly-elected superficial view of the situation and has blindly endorsed the Undergraduate Management Association, would like Reichert Prospectus. He is not, however, in any way to take this opportunity to welcome and encourage a representative of the undergraduates on this campus. Now strong rapport between the members of the faculty that everyone realizes most of the Colleges may not survive and ourselves. We feel that our job is to close the gap that beyond 1974, students must show up in great numbers at presently exists between students and faculty. One tomorrow's Faculty-Senate meeting (2:30, Diefendorf 148) of the means we intend to employ is to make to refute Mr. Kole and demonstrate their support for the ourselves available to any faculty or student member at any time. We hope you will feel at ease to consult Colleges before they are castrated. — wma& , 1 against Richard Nixon, of the Washington Follies? There is in fact a slight power imbalance here.

Is the vice-president position being phased-out for the University-Wide (and proposed Collegiate) Dean positions? Why can’t the Colleges lobby and convince the Faculty Senators on the legalistic points in the Reichert document? Why are the formal procedures of the Faculty-Senate favoring' 90 Faculty friends, and controlled by the Chair? What will happen when George Hochfield the Colleges’ arch-antagonist,-r takes over this chair? Why don’t the Colleges refute the four front-page articles in the Buffalo Courier-Express, defaming and libelling them? “You know that something's happening, but you don’t know what it is, do you Mr. - - - Jones?" That was Dylan’s answer. The above is all a comment on the system, and American corporate in general. If tJhe,CpUegps lapk faculty, legitimacy, and power, it is npt due to procedural irresponsibility. , Bureaucratic control guarantees that power, is in the hands, of the few, with the gteatest Collogasharea diffeaent.process salary, position, and credentials than that of bureaucracy and provide an alternative to that, and this is precisely why they arc attacked. Alternatives arc only possible in an that is, one out pf control, pf one singular force or open system structure. When Joe Ritz of the Courier-Express says “a balanced viewpoint,” he means one controlled by his values. The values provided for by the Colleges range across the spectrum, but the process is clear. It is predicated on the necessary ingredient of commitment and participation. You and the Colleges will only go in the direction in which you choose. If you forego the opportunity for self-determination, the choice will be made for you in terms of the values of those with power, and you will be told what to do. If you are not contributing to courses like those that have been cancelled, and if you have those who oppose these courses make the decisions of approval and cancellation; and if you don’t believe in the Colleges, their then don’t bother going to the Faculty-Senate courses, or choice meeting Tuesday, 2:30 in Diefendorf 148. That is where the decisions will be made, and where you could be heard. Everyone seems so preoccupied with reacting to the bureaucracy that they do not have the energy to cooperate in creating alternatives. - „ - In explaining the original exclusion of Collegiate Assembly representatives from the faculty-dominated chartering committee, (which must approve all the current Colleges), Colleges Committee Chairman Jonathan Reichert claimed that allowing these delegates a vote toward their own survival would be a conflict of interest. Their “defensiveness,” he asserted, would seriously undermine objective discussions. Having a predominantly faculty chartering committee “is better politically for the legitimacy of the Colleges at this point in their history,” said Dr. Reichert. To say the Colleges will reap political benefit not being represented in a decision which may by destroy them is like saying Mr. Nixon’s chances of remaining in office would be bolstered if his supporters in Congress were prohibited from voting against impeachment and if he were denied a defense lawyer. While the quest for objectivity and worthwhile, the Reichert is legitimacy Committee’s battle against conflict of interest and “defensiveness” is being waged only on the Collegiate front. For its goal to be fully achieved, many faculty would have to be similarly excluded from the Chartering Committee due to and their own conflict of interest “offensiveness.” While some faculty sincerely believe the Colleges will be given a new breath of life through the Reichert prospectus, there are many who have never regarded them as anything but a swiftly-spreading cancer, which unchecked, would destroy everything in its path namely traditional education. To an esteemed, tenured professor like George Hochficld, it must seem unh«y^l4e4. r ntpid-boggiing ,|hat an uncredentialed instructor may be capable of imparting' his peculiar brand of expertise to a handful of students who are searching for conventional, other than something condescending wisdoms from a Phi Bctta Kappa PhD Instead of attributing the overflowing enrollment in College courses to their relevance — s and creativity, a better measure of legitimacy, many faculty and administrators still adhere to the archaic notion that departmental offerings constitute what’s best for students. Let us assume, on a more optimistic note, that most of our more distinguished men of letters are not so far removed from present realities. Why, then, has a majority of the Faculty-Senate appointed itself the savior of “high-quality education?” ‘The easier it is* to establish a College,” stated the report of the External Evaluation Team, “the more evaluation and scrutiny will be necessary to sustain it. The harder it is to establish, the more autonomy it will enjoy once established.” The faculty arc insisting on legitimacy; the question is whose legitimacy? The notion that an instructor with few credentials may be as qualified as one with a string of degrees is not easily digested by some Faculty members. Once a respected, tenured professor realizes his long years in school may have been a bureaucratic longcut (except where salary is concerned), he may resent it when individuals who have taken an unconventional path namely College instructors attract more students than they do. Insult is added to injury when departmental faculty discover that students are finding more meaning in a course like College E Pop Radio at the expense of one of their own courses. Shunned by both students and the system and doubting their own legitimacy, the University’s faculty had no choice but to clamor for Collegiate legitimacy. They expounded the notion that given two alternatives, the student will choose the “easier” one, as if by their very nature College courses are in the minor leagues in comparison to big-time “regular” courses. They have attacked the legitimacy of the Collegiate System in defense of their own legitimacy, yet have insisted on tossing around accusations like '‘conflict of interest” and “defensiveness.” Many students have assumed the Collegiate deal}, itji (JeatJi blow at last Tuesday V System, Faculty-Senate meeting, toothing could be further from the truth.

The Spectrum Student Periodical, Inc. Republication of any matter herein without the express consent of the Editor-in-Chief is strictly forbidden. (c) Editorial policy is determined by the Editor-in-Chief To the Editor. I have just finished reading your review of the Bob Dylan concert in Toronto and subsequent . - . Managing Editor . Editor-in-Chief . Vol. 24, No. Emerging from Dylans shadow commentary on Dylan’s present role in music (if there really is any “role”). After reading numerous reviews of the concerts given so far, I must compliment you on the overall scope of your article; the musical performance. I was lucky enough to be at the second Toronto concert, but beforehand 1 wanted to read an account of the preceding shows. I was getting sick reading “reviews” (as well as the recent reviews of the Toronto concerts) that concentrated on the clothes in which the audience was dressed, whether they were clapping too hard or not hard enough and hence might scare Dylan off the stage, whether this poet, the was Dylan the folksinger, or rock hero, the messiah, the revolutionary, the Zionist, etc., etc. (And they wonder why he lives in seclusion and won’t grant interviews.) GoddamnitM, it was just Bob Dylan and the Band playing great music for 2 '/i hours. Why can’t they just stop branding the guy? In addition, I was pleased to see that you did not leave the Band to lag in Dylan’s shadow. I hate to be picky, but since you were trying to give credit where credit is due, I feel I should correct some errors you made. Firstly, it is Levon Helm who is the “simply phenomenal drummer” you refer to and Rick Danko is the bass player. It is Danko who rings the lead to “Stage Fright” and Helm on lead vocals in “The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down.” The Band does not use a pedal steel guitar; it is an electric piano that Manuel plays on “King Harvest” and “The Shape I’m In.” In “Rag Mama Rag,” it is Garth Hudson on piano with Manuel on drums. It is Garth again on piano in “The Weight,” and Manuel on organ. Levon Helm sings the first three verses, Danko the next to last, while they all harmonize (except Garth) for the final verse. Incidentally, “My Love She Speaks Softly” is actually Love Minus Zero No Limit from Bringing It All Back Home. Don’t get me wrong, aside from the personnel errors, 1 think the article was quite good. It’s just that I’ve been into these guys for a long time and would like to see them get due recognition. They’ve been overlooked for too long; and Dylan perhaps, over-inspected. Monday, 28 January Harold Meyrowitz 1974 . The Spectrum Page . nine �CAMPUS UNREST These problems are the refusal of many delegates to do their homework and the refusal of members to let common sense interfere with their self-interest and paranoia. Any Assembly watcher knows that attendance falls off sharply once Certain annual budgetary squabbles ‘(athletics, BSU, etc.) have been patched together for another year. Of course no one expects that any interest all human group will suffer for the common good history shows that this won’t happen. Any exceptions anyone raises are simply proof of this: if these were not exceptional, who would remember them? But it might be worth the expenditure of paper and ink to rail against those who, out of fear or self-interest, fail even to understand what is happening on the floor in front of them. (Before anyone yells at me, let me point out that these criticisms are not personal.) It was a strong commitment to the future of the Colleges and some very real fears for them that made a normally sensible and intelligent person like Elizabeth Kennedy temporarily incapable of understanding the English language. While the usual run of turgid academic-bureaucratic prose is a challenge to the understanding, the point in question was clear enough. That point was the chartering procedure for Colleges under the proposed Prospectus. It was entirely clear to anyone not blinded by fears and self-interest that existing Colleges could be chartered almost immediately. — by Clem Cohicci This is the last part of the series that asks the question: Why don’t the Faculty-Senate and Student Assembly work and why isn’t anyone likely to do anything about it? If what is essentially a willingness' of the Faculty-Senate and the Student Assembly to engage in the political process might solve some of the problems facing those bodies, other problems look nearly beyond solution. If Senators .and Assemblymen realize that it is more important to pass good legislation than to pass it Tuesday, a substantial ftnprovementent may result. I say may result because both bodies are also beset by problems that no procedural changes or institutional tinkering can solve. They are problems of human nature which, as any student of human nature knows, are from everlasting to everlasting. Colleges statement. so request.” Yet, this year College funding has been cut approximately 20% from a funding base line that the Colleges considered a starvation level. How could the existing Colleges improve and prepare themselves for new chartering while they are already facing a severe financial crisis? The Majority Report asks for “additional funds so as to enable more faculty to become involved in the Colleges in the Interim Period.” There is no provision for adequate funds to strengthen student and ... before community participation applications for rechartering. The Colleges propose that the Faculty-Senate endorse unrestricted increased existing funds for the order to prepare colleges in themselves in the way that they consider most valuable for rechartering. VII. Dissolution We feel that this is also a major issue but due to lack of space, we are unable to discuss it at this point. Conclusion At the Faculty-Senate meeting last Tuesday, at least three times Jonathan Reichert before it was clear. ParenQpRgUy, I should note Dr. Reichert’s inability to adjust to tnl manners and protocol of the new age. He drove Dr Kennedy to distraction by calling her “Elizabeth” when everyone else (mostly male) got the professional courtesy of being called “Dr. So-and-so.” His attempt to recoup was little better as he called her “Miss Kennedy.” No purpose is served by ignoring simple courtesy in public debate. The final problem is more severe in the Student Assembly than in the Faculty-Senate. By and large the Senators, being professional educators used to preparing for lectures, know what the rules of the game are and what the proposals before them are about. But the Student Assembly is another story. People often have no idea that there are such things as fee guidelines. Board of Trustees regulations and New York State Laws. Many times Assembly members proposed legislation that was blatantly in violation of all of these things. Also, people make detailed proposals, especially at budget time, with no idea of the needs of the organizations and the resources of the Student Association. But problems like these are beyond the power of mere human beings to solve. They cannot be legislated away, nor can they be circumvented by institutional reform. As always, it all depends on the people in office, an old thought, but one that is none the less true. —continued from page 7— .. devoted to a debate on the Majority Report, we, the Colleges, were in a powerless position to make our voices and explain the points briefly mentioned above. According to Senate make Senators can only by-laws, amendments on the floor, and of course, discussion cannot proceed without that initial step. This procedure had been explained to us; however, the timing of the Senate meeting made it difficult for us to talk fully with Senators before it. Due to the interim break, we had less than a week for preparation. In this short time, it was heard virtually impossible to analyze the Majority Report, prepare our Minority document of amendments, plus get in and touch with Senators and inform them of the and mechanics of the spirit amendments so that they could propose and discuss them knowledgeably. On the Senate floor we heard a lot about the spirit of good faith that supposedly infuses the Majority Report, the spirit could not overcome this technical obstacle to full debate. The chair overruled legitimate proposals to seek a solution to this problem. The issues we raise are too serious to be reviewed and approved without complete debate. It remains faculty responsibility to ensure fair and total hearing of the issues. urge We all Senators to take responsibility to overcome all obstacles to a full and just discussion on the amendments, and not let procedure be used as a weapon. We urge students to support our amendments and to take part in our Collegiate struggle by coming to the next Faculty-Senate meeting this Tuesday at 2:30 in Diefendorf 148, and by keeping informed on issues and related activities. For nearly six years the Colleges provided a space for students to create and participate equally in oqr own educational process. The College courses addressed themselves to vital student interests as well as pressing social concerns. The approval of the Majority Report by the Faculty-Senate yet would not only seriously curtail further of this nature, but also would invalidate our past goals, and ultimately transform the entire nature and spirit of the Colleges. Our present Collegiate System should be recognized as a victory won through hard work and organization. It represents a the by University concession administration to students, criticism of mechanical hierarchical education, and our concerns for integrated study and pressing social problems. Throughout the nation there is a backlash against gains made in the past. The present University’s attack on the Collegiate system must be viewed in this perspective; it is not that .the Colleges work have recently proven faulty, but rather that they have been effective, and as such are antogonistic to repressive forces.

It had been a crazy six weeks out in LA. recording Ringo’s new album. Almost like the old days with T Beatles they had all shown up and pitched in, even if they didn’t all play together. He wondered how the edited tapes would sound. inside, meanwhile, two high-level Apple people Pster Moog, musical consultant, and Julius Bigwig, corporate executive, have just finished listening to the tape of Ringo’s latest effort and are discussing its merits. “Well, what do you think?” asked Bigwig. “I’m impressed,” said Moog, anticipating the familiar next question. “But will it sell?” said Mhog, flicking an ash from his — - / % “Listen, JJL,” said Moog, putting his arm around the $75,000 executive. “You and I both know that the little Help from My Friends,” said Mai. “I don’t think the lyrics are worthy of John, though. I think he knocked it off the day after Ringo asked him to write a song for the album.” They passed the pipe during “Hold On,” a Randy Newman rocker about losing one’s baby to the milkman. Moog liked the guitar break, which turned out to be played by Marc Bolan. “Klaus Voorman does a nice job on bass on this album,” Moog observed. “I think the most outstanding studio man is Nicky Hopkins on piano,” said Mai. ‘That dude just gets better and better on those 88’s.” They gave each other a knowing look during the building, seductive intro to “Photograph,” a Gcoigc-Ringo tune. “Geoige’s influence on this album is definitely there,” said Moog, absorbed by Harrison’s high voice singing in perfect harmony behind Ringo’s lead. But all I've got is a photograph And I realize you ’re not coming back any more .. After a Booby Keyes solo, the intro returned at the end. ‘That’s an old Beatles trademark,” noted Mai. They smoked another bowl during “Sunshine Life for Me,” a weird, twangy country tune by Harrison backed up by David Bromberg and most of The Band. “I don’t like it,” said Mai. “Doesn’t sound like George.” “He probably wanted to show he can write in a different style, and about other things besides God,” said Moog. “Sri Krishna to you, my son,” said Mai. They tapped their feet through Ringo’s rendition of “Sweet Sixteen.” “Y’know, 1 hate old rock standards,” said Moog, “but what saves this one is the incredible harmony by Harry Nilsson,” who was ooo-wa-wa-ing his way behind Ringo’s lead. “I like McCartney’s little sax break,” said Mai. “He was just hanging around during the song and happened to pick up a nearby sax.” They discussed the fate of The Beatles during the next two cuts: “Oh My My.” an up-beat boogie number, and “Step Lightly,” a vaudevillian soft-shoe with backing clarinets. “Why won’t they all play together?” asked Moog. ‘They all have, except for Paul,” said Mai. “Ringo had to call Paul and say, ‘George and John have written me a song you don’t want to be left out, do you?’ Paul and John won’t play together there’s the contract and legal hassles; but mainly their egos are too big.” “But they complement each other so well. McCartney’s doint that commercial stuff with Wings he needs Lennon’s lyrics. Even musically he hasn’t been able . album will sell on Ringo’s name alone. When the public hears that all four Beatles are on the record, they’ll run out and buy it even if it was canned supermarket music.” “You’re right they do with McCartney’s albums,” said Bigwig. They both laughed. ‘The personnel is fantastic,” Moog continued. ‘The most important thing is to examine the quality of the music. One thing we were worried about was Ringo’s voice. How do you thing he comes off?” “Pretty fine,” said Mai, as the former roadie and longtime friend of The Beatles walked in. “Everyone knows Ringo isn’t a great lead singer, but his voice is honest and adequate. He carried himself well.” You know what I liked, Mai?” said Moog. ‘The use of the vocal harmonies. Producer Richard Perry did a fantastic job they’re so well-mixed.” “Harrumph!” Bigwig conspicuously cleared his throat in the executive fashion. “You’re sure it will sell?” “Positive, J.B.,” said Moog reassuringly “All right, then. We’ll release it to the radio stations October 15 with a $500,000 promotional budget.” Sensing the conversation was about to move from his area of sales to the less familar realm of musical expertise criticism, Bigwig walked to the door. “I’ll see you gentlemen later 1 have a conference at two.” As soon as he left, Mai Evans pulled a corncob pipe from his pocket. “Now that Mr. Corporate Finance is gone,” he said, filling the pipe, “let’s do some of this black hash and check out the album again!” Moog smiled. “Doesn’t it sound just like a Beatle song?” Mai asked as “I’m the Greatest” by John Lennon came on. “Well, it’s got three of them,” Moog agreed. “Ringo on drums, Harrison on guitar, and Lennon on piano and harmony. It’s a nice track.” / was in the greatest show on earth For what it was worth Now I'm only 32 And all I want to do is boogaloo Yes my name is Billy Shears,,. . . ‘That’s who Ringo was introduced as on “With a — — — - horizons beyond Krishna. At least, like Ringo, he’s been smart enough to surround himself with good people.” “John’s and Paul’s egos sometimes prevent them from doing that.” “Six O’Clock,” the song by McCartney, came on. “Not bad,” said Moog, noting Paul’s stylish work on piano and synthesizer. “Why can’t he write stuff like this all the time?” Moog smiled at the familar Paul- and-Linda harmony. ‘1 don’t know,” said Mai. “Maybe Linda did fuck his head up maybe he’s just too much of a family man now. They’re all over 30 and have families now, yTcnow. Maybe they’re Just too settled to get as inspired foor songwriting as when they were young, wild, touring the world, and tripping every day.” Maybe we’re all getting a little old, thought Moog as “Devil Woman” assailed his ears, a driving tunc with Ringo and Jim Keltner pounding away at the drums. But you 're like the devil with horns in your head The only way / ’ll get you is to get you in bed . . . Moog wondered whether Ringo wrote the song about a particular femme fatale or a fantasy-woman. Mai beamed during the last set, “You and Me, Babe,” which he helped write with Harrison. “What do you think?” For you and me, babe, it’s the end of our date Me and the band, babe, all though it was great To entertain you, but it's getting late and it's time to — leave Now I wanna tell you, the pleasure really was mine YedH I had a good time, singing and drinking some wine And when the sun sets in the sky, and you close your sleepy eyes I’ll be in some nightclub getting high, that’s no “It’s a haunting tune,” said Moog. “One of the best on the album. That guitar work by George is so tasteful listen to that guitar gently weep.” “And Nicky’s piano complements the lead perfectly,” Moog listened to Ringo thanking everybody on the album. “It’s a good record,” he surmised. “It’s kind of middle-of-the-road, there’s nothing that’s new on it but it’s an up head.” “You’re right. It’s nothing great lyrically. Musically, a lot of the cuts are overdone you know, over-produced, brass, strings just too much. But some tracks are better balanced and have that “clean” sound. It’s no landmark, but it’s nice listening. With so many shitty rock albums coming out today. I’d say it’s all right.” Bigwig walked back in. “Gentlemen, the Board has decided that “Photograph” can be a sure-fire hit single. What do you think?” “George and Ringo singles always hit the top of the charts, J.B. Besides, who are we to argue with the man who picked “My Sweet Lord,” “Give me Love” and “It Don’t Come Easy”? “What’s that funny smell in here?” asked Bigwig. Before they could explain, Richard Starkey walked into the studio, sipping a beer. “Hello, boys. Not bad, huh?” He tapped a few beats on the table-top. “C’mon, fellas,” he said to Mai and Moog, “we’re suposed to meet George at Casey’s Pub in a half-hour.” “But you’re supposed to report to the stockholder’s meeting at 4:00,” Bigwig protested to Moog as they headed for the door. “Make excuses for me. J.B.” said Moog, putting his arm around Ringo. “I’m joining the material world for — — - — - — — - to match the level of McCartney I he’s doing too many sirupy love songs.” “You’re right. And after two great efforts with Plastic Ono Band and Imagine Lennon seems to be that album with Elephant’s floundering musically Memory Band sounded like it was thrown together in a week. Even his lyrics lack their former satiric punch. People are now first starting to realize how well their individual talents blended.” “George has probably struck the best balance musically and lyrically, but he does need to broaden his — awhile.” -H.K Monday, 28 January 1974 The Spectrum Page eleven . . �� . * Sr v *; * ■> I �" ■ ' * r- i �� Extra care in engineering... it makes a big difference in small cars.

The Bulls led 40-32 at the half, but hot shooting by the Big Red’s John Gilbert, who scored half of his team's points at the 20 minute mark, kept Cornell in the game.

It caught them off guard.” The press helped Cornell Ridell excels The Baby Bulls received a fine performance from substitute Dave Ridell. “Ridell did a good job coming off the bench. He hit from the outside well,” said Hill. Ridell was brought in to replace Ruffino, who picked up his third personal foul with ab(out twelve minutes remaining in the first half. Ridell finished with 12 points. Throughout the game, Buffalo were plagued by poor foul shooting. They shot only 5-for-21 from the charity line (24%), Hill commented: “It couldn’t get any worse. We could have had a ten or twenty lead.” The Bulls were able to stop Gilbert in the second half, limiting him to just four points. “We didn’t let the ball go to his side of the zone,” explained Hill.

Two years ago, when the Bulls qualified eight wrestlers, no one from the tournament placed in the nationals. Last season, when Buffalo qualified six in a much tougher tournament (two regions had been added), three wrestlers from that regional placed in the nationals. The reduction in qualifiers, as Gray pointed out, is a result of Gray’s own Mid-American conference increasing from six teams to ten and being granted an extra qualifier because of it. Unfortunately the Eastern regional now has at least four new teams, even stronger than the mid-American additions. Clarion State will bring its eighth ranked team and two national champions to the Cincinnati events. Lock Haven, Cleveland State and Slippery Rock State will also be at Cincinnati for the first time. All three have excellent teams and Slippery Rock has a national small college champion, Jack Spates.

The explosion carried the Larries to a 9-5 triumph over the Bulls. Despite being outshot 30—13 over the first two periods, the Bulls were still in the game due to an outstanding effort by goaltender Don Maracle. Maracle turned away many excellent scoring chances while the Bulls had trouble keeping the puck away from St. Lawrence in the Buffalo end of the ice. - Sylvester hurt The Bulls were without the services of their top defenseman, Mark Sylvester, who recently suffered a knee injury. “We’re not exactly sure what the problem is,” St. Lawrence capitalized on two Bulls lapses, scoring reported Buffalo coach Ed Wright. “His knee has not their final period goals in bursts of three.

In a move that has ignited massive protests from University officials and student leaders. Academic Affairs vice-president Bernard Gelbaum has ordered the cancellation of 16 on-going College E courses, stranding approximately 200 students. “The credentials of the instructors are not adequate," Dr. Gelbaum wrote in a January 16 memorandum to Admissions and Records cancelling the 16 courses. Student Association (SA) President Jon Dandes has filed a class action grievance on behalf of the affected students in which he asked for the “reinstatement of all courses that he [Dr. Gelbaum) arbitrarily deleted.” In a letter to President Robert Ketter, Mr. Dandes also requested that Dr. Gelbaum be replaced as Academic Affairs 'Piece of staff work’ “It’s come to my attention that there may have been errors,” Dr. Gelbaum admitted after consulting with other administrators. If some of the courses in question were approved by DUS, then the list was in error, Dr. Gelbaum conceded. Asked why he didn’t investigate the matter himself, he said the list “was a piece of staff work” and acted on it without further scrutiny. “Dr. Gelbaum told me to carefully submit to him the names of all instructors who were not properly qualified,” explained Dr. Bennett. According to one cancelled instructor who spoke with Dr. Gelbaum, Dr. Bennett wrongly assumed that any instructor without a B.A. was an undergraduate without a faculty sponsor and thus ineligible to teach. Dr. Bennett said he had been seeking data on instructors from College E all semester, but had gotten a “run-around.” He said the names he had placed on the list were those without faculty sponsors. When told that qualified community members, unlike undergraduates, do not require faculty sponsors, he replied: “I’m terribly confused I think most of them [the instructors) were checked out.” vice-president. Dr. Ketter, who was not aware of the cancellation until informed by Student Association representatives, reportedly seemed deeply concerned and took immediate action. He asked the three University Deans to act as a “review panel” to determine if some or all of the courses should be reinstated. The peans Charles Ebert of Undergraduate Studies, MacAllister Hull of the Graduate School and Robert Berner of Millard Fillmore College will review the qualifications of each instructor in question and make their recommendations to Dr. Ketter by this afternoon. - ... — Reinstatement possible An investigation by DUS yesterday revealed that four of the cancelled courses two sections of Pop Radio, Professional Filmmaking and Horror Film have already been approved by DUS, and the Introductory and Advanced Photography courses are pending DUS approval. Although the review by the three Deans was not yet completed at press time, Dr. Ebert yesterday expressed his personal view that “those courses already approved by DUS are likely to be reinstated, and we are looking at a number of other courses which also may be reinstated.” Dr. Gelbaum explained that courses may be taught by faculty members, undergraduates with faculty supervisors or community people with expertise in a particular field. He said that he- had not personally reviewed the instructors’ qualifications of the courses he cancelled, but had received a list of “unqualified” instructors from H. Curtis Bennett, his assistant for the Colleges. Dr. Gelbaum appointed himself Acting Director of the Colleges in — - Missing files? Disputing a College E spokesman’s insistence that the instructors’ professional date was located in the College office he uses. Dr. Bennett said he never received the data and didn’t believe the files were in his office. However, an investigation by The Spectrum revealed that the professional files of 9 of the 13 instructors in question were in an unlocked file cabinet in his College office. Of the 9 instructors on file, five were adjunct lecturers from the community, three were undergraduates with faculty sponsors and one was an undergraduate with no faculty sponsor. Of the four missing files, two instructors were community members and two were undergraduates, one of whom had a faculty sponsor, (see box, page 2]. Dean of Undergraduate Studies Charles Ebert said he was not consulted, regarding the cancellation of the 16 courses. He expressed concern for the affected students and hoped a favorable solution would be forthcoming. In general, he has said he did not believe courses should be cancelled once the semester begins and students are registered for them. —continued on page 2 — �Gelhaum cancels A College E spokesman claimed that Dr. Bennett asked him which of the College E instructors had B.A.’s. Dr. Bennett allegedly approved all instructors with B.A.’s and those who he knew personally as “strong” people or teaching “good courses,” the spokesman claimed. The remaining instructors were placed on the cancellation list and sent to Dr. Gelhaum, presumably because they were assumed to be undergraduates and thus unqualified to teach. Dr. Bennett later explained; “1 am simply an agent or clerk for the vice-president. I was never given any administrative responsibilities. Dr. Gelbaum must accept full responsibility for any acts or decisions with regard to the Colleges.” “Gelbaum hired Bennett as a tool to screw the Colleges,” said one College member. “He’s manipulated him so badly that Bennett doesn’t know what’s going on.” “You must remember that there are 80,000 enrollments in this University,” Dr. Gelbaum later explained. “Keep in mind that if 300 people are affected, it represents less than one per cent of the entire University enrollment.” —continued from page I— ... longer being taught.Confused, Mr. Ghiraidini went to see Dr. Gelbaum yesterday. “He told me that Dr. Bennett had given him a list of courses being offered by undergraduate students,” Mr. Ghiraidini reported. “He said Dr. Bennett determined that anyone who did not have a bachelor’s degree was unqualified to teach. He said it was his understanding, or possibly misunderstanding, that the names on the list were undergraduate students, and that it was Dr. Bennett’s understanding that the undergraduates whom he reported were not covered by regular faculty supervisors,” Mr. Ghiraidini added. Harassment charged Dr. Gelbaum explained that any course taught by an undergraduate for which Dr. Bennett had not received a Dandes: replace Gdbaum In a letter to President Ketter yesterday, Mr. Dandes asked that be replaced with someone who can deal realistically and effectively be replaced with someone who can deal realiztically and effectively with our different academic concerns.” The SA President called for Dr. Gelbaum’s removal because of his “lack of sensitivity and concern for students the callous insensitivity of these actions [the cancellations] demonstrates his inability to separate his personal views from responsible administrative action.” In a second letter to Dr. Ketter, Mr. Dandes thanked the President for his “immediate and personal intervention” and formally requested that “the 19 courses cancelled in Dr. Gelbaum’s memorandum be immediately reinstated.” Mr. Dandes explained: the courses were listed in the spring semester Reporter with no forewarning to registering students that they might be cancelled; a number of the courses were approved by the DUS curriculum Ghiraldini said.

Bernard Gelbaum Dropped courses Editor’s note: These are the 16 courses cancelled by Dr. Gelbaum’s memo. Three other courses were cancelled by College E itself.

Dr. Kennedy interpreted the Senate’s action as an indication that many faculty members did not want the Faculty-Senate Colleges Committee, which wrote the report now being debated, to sit on the Chartering Committee. “I think that if the Senators have time to read the document and talk to us, something good may happen,” she said. However, central to this viewpoint was Dr. Kennedy’s assertion that the Colleges had only a limited amount of time to discuss the iisue with; ftcblty because the Senate meeting was held only six days after the new r semester began. , ' _ , .... “The Colleges' were at a disadvantage by not having a way that was official and sound to get their amendments on the floor,” she said. �' 1 ■! ■■ ■ >■ *' ■» ■ Fac-Sen action { 4 'iP \* Amendments are rejected; collegians added to panel current Collegiate Assembly be included on the Chartering Committee. They had recommended that Collegians from the by Gary Cohn Campus Editor The Faculty-Senate amended Jonathan Reichert’s Colleges Committee report Tuesday by adding two Collegiate Assembly members to. the Chartering Committee which must approve every College that is to continue beyond 1974. Under the new guidelines, every existing College will be required to win approval before the Chartering Committee composed of six faculty members, thrhe yet-unformed College Council by January 1, 1975. Since the College Council will not be formed until the first College receives its new charter, the Faculty-Senate voted to allow two Collegiate Assembly members on the Chartering Committee in the interim. Any College which is not approved by this committee by next January will cease to exist. Extensive debate regarding the Collegiate Assembly’s proposed amendment that would have given equal representation to faculty and Collegians on the Chartering Committee highlighted the three-hour meeting. A “balanced” Chartering Committee was first suggested by Roger Cook, a graduate student on the Colleges Committee who dissented from the majority’s report in a separate opinion. Mr. Cook’s proposal was later endorsed by the Collegiate Assembly. The Faculty-Senate rejected the joint representation plan by a 45-12-1 margin despite repeated and often eloquent appeals from students, Collegians and some Faculty Senators. Other Senators, led by Fac-Sen Chairman-elect George Hochfield, successfully argued against the amendment by stressing that faculty must have the primary responsibility for determining academic programs. The majority of the Colleges Committee had proposed that no members of the — — new College Council (which will replace the Collegiate Assembly) be included in the chartering process only after a College was approved. Dr. Reichert explained that excluding Collegians from the initial chartering process was advisable because of the “problems of legitimacy” which he feels has plagued the Colleges. ‘The primary responsibility for initiating and dissolving academic program rests with the faculty,” Dr. Reichert said. Conflict of interest? Allowing representatives from the Collegiate Assembly to vote on their own initiation would also be a conflict of interest, he added. Disagreeing with the Reichert report, Larry Chisholm of American Studies called the joint representation plan a “reasonable compromise” between faculty-based legitimacy and continuity of the existing College programs and input from its members. Alternatively, Claude Welch of Political Science argued that the Reichert report would provide a further basis for student, faculty and administration support for the Colleges. The Reichert report allows for “greater participation” and retains the “vibracy and excitement” of the Colleges, Dr. Welch added. More amendments coming Earlier in the meeting,- which packed Diefendorf 148 with interested students as well as a strong turnout of Senators, the Faculty-Senate narrowly rejected a Collegiate Assembly amendment which asked that proposals for College status should include “a statement firmly establishing lines of aut ity, responsibility Ethoir coppvction- and communication to the Dean [of the Colleges]The Collegians argued that this proposal would have allowed for greater internal governance by the individual College units. The remaining Collegiate Asseobly amendments to the Colleges Committee report will be considered at the next Faculty-Senate meeting. Other key proposals include an amendment that would make “failure to abide by the approved charter” the sole grounds for dissolution of a College. The Reichert Committee had recommended that loss (without replacement) of key faculty, failure to follow University regulations, insufficient student interest and failure to abide by the charter be grounds for dissolution. The Collegians will also propose an amendment that “Colleges may offer experimental courses on a one-semester basis.” The, Reichert Committee has recommended that prior approval by the Division of Undergraduate Studies (DUS) be a prerequisite for every new College course. Experimental courses in the Colleges have been allowed a one-semester trial, after which DUS approval was required. The Collegians are also suggesting that Workshops be allowed to grant credit for their courses. Under the Workshop program, any prospective College, with the exception of the currently existing units, must begin with a one-semester trial as a Workshop. During the first semester, the Workshop may offer only non-credit seminars. After the trial period (one to three semesters), the Workshop must apply for charter status as a new College or disband. The Collegians also plan to propose several amendments dealing with College governance procedures. These proposals call for greater influence for College members in setting internal policy for the Colleges. If the Colleges Committee report is approved by the Faculty-Senate, Dr. Reichert expects that the first new College could be chartered “by June or July.” The appointment of Irving J. Spitzberg, Jt. as the Dean (formerly Director) of the Colleges was officially confirmed at the Senate meeting. Dr. Spitzberg, 32, a graduate of Columbia University and Yale Law School, is presently serving as a Fellow at the Institute of Current World Affairs. He is expected to arrive on campus and begin his tenure as Dean of the Colleges sometime in March. THE — WE’RE SORRY. . . WE MADE A MISTAKE.

First implemented last semester as a method of resolving student academic problems, the procedure now handles one grievance a day. “I think it’s fantastic and very effective,” said Ron Stein, associate director of Student Affairs, who worked with Student Association to implement the procedure. “The student is guaranteed a forum before an impartial panel. All the student has to do is come in and we’ll help him follow it through.” Dr. Stein initially reviews a grievance to see if it can be resolved before submitting it to the grievance committee. He recommends talking the problem over with the faculty member first. Hearing committee Most grievances are generally resolved on this level. However, if no agreement is reached, the grievance is presented to a hearing committee of two students and members. This faculty two committee has already reviewed 30 cases and claims a 90% success rate in resolving the grievance. SA submitted 58 grievances to the committee Wednesday Financial independence, full editorial control goal of paper A growing trend among student organizations in who have concerning teachers recent years has been incorporation.

Action Committee attempts to solve various problems by Linda Moskowitz Feature Editor < For many of the poor, middle-aged women in Buffalo, the YWCA on North Street is home. With no family or close friends to provide companionship, these forgotten women lead lonely, anonymous lives. The University’s Community Action Corps (CAC) however, has hot forgotten and is now recruiting volunteers who will visit the YWCA and act as companions to these women, reading, talking, and sharing skills with them. CAC is a student-run organization Which serves the Buffalo community by offering volunteer sejyice to various organizations and institutions. Their activities include day care, drug and youth counseling, education, health care, recreation, social services, legal and welfare intervention. Director Mark Carlin also noted that “CAC is always willing to cooperate with students who have new ideas. If someone comes in and wants to work in a certain place, we’ll do our best to set them up.” _ Social change The Action Committee is one of CAC’s more effective components, but its work is not as well-known as the volunteer service. This committee works directly for social change through research projects in conjunction with community groups or government agencies. “We deal with immediate problems and situations,” said Marti Thome, Action Committee Director. Currently, the Buffalo Rapid Transit System is being investigated. In the past, Action Committee has focused on such areas as environmental action. Buffalo Parks Department has considered removing recreational equipment from various “Tot Lot” playgrounds around the city, due to lack of maintenance funds. Action Committee is Those interested in health care may volunteer at the Veterans Administration Hospital as lab assistants, companions to patients, or visit out-patients at their homes. An orientation program educates volunteers about the bureaucracy of health care and the related problems encountered seeking new funding" sources to save the parks and playgrounds. The response to Action Committee has not been very great in the past; Mr. Carlin suspects “this is because students may not see the direct fruits of their work. But Action Committee is a vital part of CAC,” he continued, “where we attempt to seek out real causes of problems and propose solutions." by patients. A variety of other programs deal with recreation and social services throughout Buffalo. CAC's Basketball League for community youth which meets Sunday mornings in Clark Gym has been highly will accept students to act as companions to prisoners in Attica and Albion State Prisons. These volunteers will undergo an orientation about the problems and conditions of convicts, and can then visit many of those prisoners who have no family or friends visiting them. The Women’s Prison Project is operated through the Women’s College at the Erie County Jail. Although CAC volunteer work is generally on a non-credit basis, an experimental independent study program is now under way where a limited number of Transportation paid CAC participates in five day-care centers located near the University and in the inner-city. Those in the inner-city are now in need of volunteers. CAC will try to provide transportation by arranging car pools or will reimburse students for any transportation costs. Drug and youth counseling comprises segment of CAC’s activities. Specific programs now exist at the Erie County Rehabilitation Center, a temporary residence for alcoholic men, and Night People, which provides a community center for those on the street with no place to go. Companions are needed for these people to talk, play chess or counsel. The Erie County Rehabilitation Center, which recently acquired a $6 million building, now has little money to spare for staff and supervision. Volunteers are always needed here, as well as at other crisis centets throughout the city. Education projects are conducted for special education, alternative projects, speech and hearing therapy, general tutoring and high school equivalency programs. One of CAC’s more outstanding achievements is the Creative Learning Project for emotionally disturbed children, who are brought to Norton Hall where classes are conducted. Tutoring and adult education projects are underway at the Tonawanda Indian reservation; the Friendship House in Lackawanna’s poverty area provides a community center and another successful. Elderly people are often lonely and have difficulty moving around, and companions are always needed to spend time with them and make them feel useful again. Another successful program is the Big Brother and Sister program, which has just received a six-month grant of $4000 from the Buffalo Youth Board. Children in the program came from broken homes or orphanages and are referred by various social service agencies. Volunteers are required to spend approximately 15 hours a week with their child, and CAC will pay all their expenses. Currently more Big Brothers are needed. BRIDGE, a prisoner rights organization. students may do volunteer work and then relate their experience to academic study, in the form of a paper or project. Fifteen to 25 faculty members have so far agreed to supervise such work, and if the project is successful, the independent study will be open to more students in the future, and supervision will be broadened to a departmental basis. CAC relies on volunteers; anyone wishing to work for CAC can contact them at Room 220 Norton Hall, or call 831-3609. They now work with over 70 organizations and are receptive to all new ideas.

This country provides 80% of the cost of keeping the Thieu regime in power Included in this sum is the financing of over 6000 U.S. “civilians” carrying out military activities, according to the 1974 Senate Defense Authorization Hearings. The New York Times of October 28, 1973, put the figure at 20,000. While we suffer an “oil shortage” here, 22,000 barrels of oil per day is being shipped to the Saigon military for planes, tanks and other military operations. Since the signing of the peace agreement one year ago, we have heard numerous reports of fighting, yet it’s often hard to determine who is at fault. intend to abide by the agreement. He has ordered “Communists” entering “his zones” to be shot, and brags that he has captured 400 villages since the cease-fire, according to The New York Times of March 14, 1973. Gen. Thicu opposes the nationwide elections that are called for by the peace agreement, the Post reported last month. According to the American Friends Service Committee, he has also held about 200,000 political prisoners in U.S.-financed jails; he maintains that it is illegal to be a Communist or neutralist; and he forces hundreds of thousands of refugees to stay in squalid camps, all in violation of the peace agreement. $10 million of our tax money for 1973 went specifically to Saigon’s police and prison system. 'Brutal war maniacs’ Cora Weiss of the American peace movement recently traveled to Vietnam and spoke with Le Due Tho, chief negotiator for the Democratic Republic of Viet Nam (North Vietnam). According to her report, Mr. Tho says; “If the war continues to escalate in South Vietnam and Cambodia, it will be due to American actions. That is why it is important to compel the U.S. to carry out the provisions of the Vietnam peace agreement. If the Saigon administration, helped and backed by the U.S., carries on the war, we have no alternative but to fire back. Our people are resolutely acting against these actions of Saigon because this is the only way to compel these brutal war maniacs to carry out the agreement. The situation in South Vietnam is caused by the U.S. and Saigon. They must bear responsibility for it.” This afternoon, from noon until 2 p m., a demonstration and picket line will be held at the Federal Building, Delaware and West Huron, in downtown Buffalo. The rally is sponsored by the Vietnam Veterans Against the War and Winter Soldier Organization. They urge everyone to attend. The organizers are insisting the U.S. force implementation of the treaty, end all aid to Gen. Thieu and Premier Lon Nol of Cambodia, and grant universal and unconditional amnesty to all war resisters. In addition, they are calling for the immediate impeachment of President Nixon. Cease-fire a ‘mockery’ The Washington Post reported on September 30, 1973: “In the past month, military officials say almost 20 square miles of formerly Communist-held territory has been seized ■ by South Vietnamese troops driving westward from Highway 1.” As one high-ranking Saigon official views it: “For us, the cease-fire is only a mockery, perpetrated by Nixon.” Just two weeks ago, the Washington Post of January 5, 1974 stated: “President Nguyen Van TJiieu today called on his troops to attack the Vietcong in their own territory because he said the Vietnam war had begun again.” In reality, the war has been going on since the signing of the peace agreement. Gen. Thieu says openly that he doesn’t Workshop to discuss the continued fighting “As the first anniversary of the signing of the Vietnam Peace Agreement approaches, a sense of its collapse is spreading in the United States. We read of 100,000 Casualties since January 27, 1973, a rate higher than any year of the war except 1968 and 1972. The State Department seeks legal loopholes in the August 15th bombing ban, and the Commander-in-Chief of the Pacific air forces proclaims their readiness to resume bombing in case of a communist offensive. Few reports go deep enough to probe why only the Democratic Republic of North Vietnam and the Provisional Revolutionary Government (PRG) have actively promoted understanding of the Agreement among its people.” The American Vietnamese Friendship Committee of the Western New York Peace Center released the above statement as a summary of the deteriorating conditions that have developed since the signing of last January’s Vietnam Peace Agreement. Over the last twelve months, while American attention has shifted away from Vietnam and towards issues closer to home, thousands of Vietnamese people have died in skirmishes, referred to only as “treaty violations.” There is no peace in Indochina, despite the pronouncements of the Nobel Peace Prize Committee, Henry Kissinger or Richard Nixon. What ‘peace’? The Western New York Peace Center will hold a workshop tomorrow to discuss various aspects of the “peace” and the problems arising from last year’s agreement. According to organizers Rev. Ken Sheynan and Rev. James Meng, the aim of the conference will be to “promote understanding of the Peace Agreements,” and “to educate ourselves and others about the realistic means for achieving peace.” The program will be conducted at the Amherst Unitarian Church, 6320 Main Street, this Saturday, January 26, from 1 to 5 p.m. J. Garith Porter of Cornell University will be the keynote speaker. Workshops will deal with the problems of Political Prisoners under Thieu, Medical Aid to Indochina, and U.S. Foreign Policy.

That Dr. Gelbaum could receive a list of unqualified instructors as a "piece of staff work," and immediately strand 200 students by without checking eliminating their courses is almost into the facts any further incomprehensible. The list was provided by his admittedly "confused" assistant, H. Curtis Bennett, who wrongly assumed that all instructors without B.A.'s were undergraduates without faculty sponsors. Actually, many undergrads did sponsors, many were have faculty professional community people, and four of the courses were DUS-approved. Bureaucratic bungling is not really the point, however; everyone is entitled to make mistakes and even misjudgements. The crime is that Dr. Gelbaum cancelled the courses without a thought for the 200 students enrolled, who, he indicated, were after all "less than one per cent of the University's enrollment." To him, people are just percentage points. We have long opposed Dr. Geibaum's narrow educational views, his obsession with credentials, his opposition to Collegiate experimentation. By contrast, DUS Dean Charles Ebert, also considered a conservative by many, always considers the students' welfare first and would recoil at the idea of cancelling classes once the semester has started. Dr. Ebert was not consulted; neither was President Ketter, who immediately ordered an impartial review by the school's three Deans when told of the cancellations by alert SA members. But Dr. Gelbaum has always been allowed a free hand by Dr. Ketter, and he has regularly abused that power. As the school's top academic official, he has shown a disturbing inability to communicate with students and has been an obstructional force against both the Colleges and the student body. Last year. Dr. Gelbaum released his Academic Plan for the University's next decade, which he singly authored with little input from faculty and absolutely no input from students, who he said would be "consulted" before it was implemented. This accurately reflects Dr. Geibaum's view that students should be taught and not heard, and certainly have no place in determining academic programs. His judgment on the widely-praised 4-course load is that it is "acceptable in theory but not in practice"; he naturally condemns any formula that de-emphasizes formal classroom instruction. Last March Dr. Gelbaum terminated College B instructor Jonathan Ketcham without explaining why. Last August he ignored Collegiate regulations and allowed College D to secede from the Collegiate Assembly, presumably so this "straight" College he likes could get direct funding. Last September he proposed that two-thirds of the Colleges be abolished so the remaining three or five could "operate in the economy of the middle class," an arbitrary pre-judgement that was rightly rejected. Then in October he made the insensitive, self-serving move of appointing himself Acting Director of the Colleges. Even more audacious, he designated Dr. Bennett, who the Collegiate Assembly rejected 9-to-1 as director, as his assistant for the Colleges, somehow expecting the Colleges to work with the man they overwhemingly rejected, Education for Dr. Gelbaum is rigid, he conventional classroom instruction alternative experiential approaches or dislikes or teachers without credentials— and it is no wonder the Colleges mistrust Administration promises of good faith with him at the helm.

His abuse of his sweeping powers, his regular administrative manipulations, his restrictive ideas of what is educationally appropriate, his obsession with credentials, his steadfast opposition to innovative and above all, his insensitivity and Colleges are not often utter disregard for students the that a creative qualities University can afford in the man holding the top academic post. We think it would be in the best interest of the student body and of the University as a whole if President Ketter were to replace Dr. Gelbaum with someone more realistic and receptive to alternative ideas, or if Dr. Gelbaum were to voluntarily resign and return to teaching. Any real progress or communication between students and the Administration remains impossible with Dr. Gelbaum in his present post, " . — — _ . . COI16Q6S Stf3 00160 0 , Advocates of the new College Prospectus and long at Tuesday's argued hard Faculty-Senate meeting that the new structure would not hamper innovation, Their insistence on "good faith" that the Administration would not exercise stifling control was shattered the next day by Dr. Geibaum's wholesale cancellation of 16 College E courses. The Faculty-Senate was unwilling to believe that placing the Colleges under a rigidly-controlled hierarchy of faculty and Administration would stifle new ideas. They were unwilling to believe that most of today's Colleges will not survive through 1974 if a faculty-dominated Chartering Committee must approve each new unit on the basis of faculty members with "credentials" and conventional "legitimacy." They were unwilling to believe that if experimental courses were abandoned to the DUS bureaucracy to be judged by and paper-pushers, desk-bound new unconventional ideas would not survive, Perhaps Dr. Geibaum's action will now make them think twice. He has underscored the twin dangers of Administrative control of the Colleges: the confusion and distance of memo-writing bureaucrats; and the utter insistence on credentials to the exclusion of an alternative approach to education. Tuesday's meeting demonstrated that the Faculty-Senate has become far more conservative than their predecessors who originally created the Colleges. While the abuses of the past certainly warrant significant reform, their obsession with "legitimacy" has caused them to overshoot the balance between academic integrity and the degree of autonomy which encourages student, community and non-traditional input and innovation. Perhaps Dr. Geibaum's casual course-bouncing will sensitize the Faculty-Senators to this danger at future meetings. Colleges, not courses, are next in line to get bounced. If the Faculty-Senate abandons the Colleges to a rigid hierarchy of administrative control, they will merely traditional, conventional, become non-controversial ad hoc departments. W4W Dandes: Remove Gelbaum and restore courses Editor’s note: The following two letters were sent to President Robert Ketter by SA President Jon Dandes. Dear President Ketter. a situation which in I am writing to you at this time to address for the academic well-being of this University. It is my belief that Dr. Bernard R. Gelbaum as the chief academic officer of this University has consistently shown a lack of sensitivity and concern for students, and the general mood of the University. His most recent actions concerning the deletion of nineteen (19) college courses has made a heretofore uncomfortable situation a totally intolerable one. The callous insensitivity of these actions demonstrates his inability to separate his personal views from responsible administrative action. I believe that it is in the best interests of the students of this institution and in the best interests of all parties concerned that Vice-President Gelbaum be relieved of his administrative responsibilities and be replaced with someone who can deal realistically and effectively with our different academic concerns. One who can implement and integrate the varied academic philosophies so often articulated by yourself, the Faculty Senate and the Student Association. We are at a crucial point in our growth as a University. The move out to Amherst, the proposed Collegiate Prospectus, and a myriad of innovative and exciting programs have placed this University at the threshhold of national prominence. We must begin to believe in ourselves and fulfill our potential to become the pre-eminent academic center that we all believe we are capable of becoming. It would be a tragic mistake not to recognize this potential and fail to progressively move ahead by allowing out-dated and rigid constraints to be placed upon us. Moreover, the methods used in applying these restraints are totally inappropriate and ill-conceived. The Collegiate System can represent the progressive and constructive efforts of a University united behind a commitment to academic excellence. Dr. Gelbaum has consistently blocked positive development and maturity of this philosophy. The position which has been taken comes after much thought, extensive deliberation, and has been the source of great personal anguish. However, I am compelled by conscience and commitment to the welfare of the student body to follow this course of action. In full realization of Dr. Gelbaum’s reputation as a fine instructor and as a man of the highest personal integrity, it is hoped tthis situation can be resolved in a manner most beneficial to all my view, has become a serious problem „ concerned. Most Sincerely, Jonathan A. Dandes, President Student Association Dear President Ketter. 1 would like to address myself to the memorandum dated January 16, 1974 from Vice President Gelbaum to Dr. Dremuk regarding the deletion of nineteen (19) courses from the University’s course offering list. You will recall that the Student Association Executive Committee brought this matter to your attention at our meeting of January 23, 1974. Let me first however thank you for your immediate and intervention into this matter. The entire Executive Committee was very much buoyed by your concern and your actions and we are confident that your actions will lead to rectification of the present situation. I would at this time formally request the the nineteen (19) courses cancelled in Dr. Gelbaum’s memorandum be immediately personal re-instated. It is my feeling that the timing of Dr. Gelbaum’s directive would preclude any justification fof his action. May I remind you of the following: 1) These courses were regularly listed in The Reporter for the Spring Semester which were available by December 1, 1973. Students were able to register for these courses without any forewarning as the possibilities of their discontinuation. 2) It is now two (2) weeks into tHe semester, these classes have met and class work has been initiated in most of them. At this time it would be virtually impossible to re-register to make up the four (4) credits lost. 3) A number of the courses had already been approved by the Division of Undergraduate Studies Curriculum Committee. As you know the Committee is comprised of both Faculty and Students, and it has always been my understanding that this body has final judgement over course review. 4) Faculty-Senate discussions concerning the Collegiate Prospectus are at a critical stage where cooperation by all concerned should be the focus. Dr. Gelbaum’s actions concerning the courses in light of these discussions I befieve are inappropriate and pose a definite threat to substantive and meaningful discussions in the future. The potential harm to the students involved is of course my primary concern. There is however another fundamental question, that being to what extent shall Dr. Gelbaum’s action be allowed to destroy the sense of good-faith and trust that was engineered by Professor Reichert’s report and your own constant commitment to positive and constructive actions concerning the Colleges. 1 am confident that your primary concern in this matter will be the welfare of the students involved and more generally the welfare of the University at large. Once again, thank you for your consideration and concern. Most Sincerely, Jonathan A. Dandes, President Student Association w '* * a »'• « « »lYtl tt l �'�'» �4 ! I * -N / the coming attractions.

I went out of my way to denigrate the book, making such venemous remarks as: "Jonathan Livingston Seagull? Sure, I know it. I spent a month reading it one afternoon." or "JLS? Gee, I thought they sured that." Anything but funny. I'll now confess, but my madness knew no bounds. No one was safe from me; I was completely invidious. Out of the blue I would phone friends who liked the book just to insult them. I spat at sparrows. Once, I even contemplated dressing myself up like a snozzled seagull and getting myself canned on a morals charge. Surely, things had come to a pretty pass. This couldn't go on forever. One day, and it was really nobody's fault, a publicity release reached my desk it was all over. There in glossy black and white was the awaited asservation that JLS was coming and coming soon, to a theater near me (the Holiday Theateris not especially near me, but distances don't mean one hell of a lot, the movie tells us.)

And, of course, a god he will become. Are we to learn from this that humility is rewarded by grandeur and praise? The last thing a humble man should desire or need isgushy praise. Incidentally, that is the last thing this film should get. Ewer since the book appeared, I have heard the story referred to as a fable-like version of (1) the message of (2) the origin of meditation, transcendental of the explanation (3) and the Christianity, enough is spirit. so, this were it If artistic to make you swear off meditation — flying grandeur.

For him, the basics are child's play. a Hiring two spectacular stars (especially long-familiar face and a hot, new item) for at the lead roles alerts us that the film aims and being "important." Steve McQueen Dustin Hoffman fill the bill. Also, there are several scenes with countless extras to meet the "cast-of-thousands" requirement for an extravaganza.

The other "baddies" are approached either by confining them, showing them as evil, making their inclusion seem necessary to some higher end, or all three. Adding the cherry to his sundae of calculation, the movie is called PapiUion. Thus, to buy a ticket is to speak French. You feel like you are ordering a Parisian meal in a fancy French restaurant. You can sneer at people who mispronounce the word, as people who don't need sub titles for foreign films sneer at those who do. You are in on the joke, and especially in if you know what the word means. It is well-worth the price of a ticket to see how a director can manipulate a property to ape daring, yet tasteful; greatness. Objectivity Always I try to approach a movie in an open-minded (and good-natured) manner, but in this case as I had read the book and found it pompous almost to the point of being cocky, and since the book's lines were often lifted intact for the screenplay, there was a good reason to suppose that the film and the book would be of the feather. Since I was initially so anti-JLS, why did I even bother to see the thing in the first place? Well, we don't always see the films we think we will like, y'know. Sometimes, like this time, we go to the movies just to witness the hoopla; to sit with our critical glasses hoping to be pleasantly surprised, but never really expecting to be. Like a newsman at a riot, we get the story first-hand while remaining detached. A critic's domain is a film, and it is usually best to leave the audience out of things altogether. JLS is an exception. The day I saw the movie, there were twelve habited nuns inhabiting the theater, and an undetermined number of plainclothed clergy.

The story is presented with a film of real seagulls going through the motions of the plot. When they converse, human voices do the talking (of course, the flick isn't bill-synced).

The answer was inspired, in a grubby sort of way. Touchy topics Beginning with an average, middle-class, suburban sensibility as a gauge, he found himself a list of "topics" that make such people uncomfortable; Nudity (male and female), rough language, the excretory system, homosexuality, leprosy, and gore. By making the presentation of these boogy-men acceptable to his middle-class model, he hoped to fashion a film that was In its favor, at least PapiUion is seldom dull. As a thrilling adventure-story, it succeeds in keeping our eyes (and occasionally, our mouths) wide open. While we never really care very much about the characters as people, we care about what is happening to them, and in adventure tale, this is sometimes enough. If you've a choice to make, see PapiUion before you see Jonathan Livingston Seagull. While one's as pretentious as the other, at least PapiUion is entertaining and stars Hoffman and McQueen to boot. �' Sleeper' Allen's coherent story fails to save flick from lack of humor by Randi Schnur himself involved in an underground movement to undermine Our Leader, a white-haired, white-robed, grandfather-type sporting a wheelchair and a seeing-eye dog (social comment, anyone?), by uncovering the government's top-secret Aires Project. On the way, he masquerades as a robot, meets Luna (a famous poetess whose work is lauded as "deep and so obviously influenced by McKuen"), has his brain rear-ranged once or twice, becomes Miss America, and so He finds revolutionary Assistant Am Editor Woody Allen's Christmas gift to the world is another chapter in his Portrait of the Artist as a YOung Schlemiel. With Sleeper, he has established himself as perhaps the foremost 90-pound weakling of our time ("I'm not the heroic type," we see him scream, "I was beaten up by Quackersl"), and definitely our most hilarious teleological existential atheist, whatever he meant by that. He is not, however, a comic genius just yet, but he does try hard with his latest efforts in that direction being good for fewer laughs than his previous ones. Sleeper (playing at the Amherst Theater) is the most coherent of the films Allen has directed so far. Unlike, say. Take the Money and Run, in which he loosely strung a series of gags together on one plot strand like sundry beads on fraying twine, Sleeper comes equipped with a story line strong enough to carry the jokes with it, rather than the other way around. This should, theoretically, produce a better movie. But while some of those mixed-up beads shone brightly enough on their own to make the earlier film work. Sleeper's laughs seem distinctly cheaper. — forth. — No strings? There is no cellist in the school marching band, no punishment by solitary confinement with an insurance salesman. In their place, we find a muscle-bound revolutionary accused by our jealous hero of missing an important mission to take his "handsome lesson," and a head of government who now runs the land with his nose only, so to speak, who is advised on the operating table that he "better lay off Armenian women." Relatively slim pickings, these. Sleeper is the story of one Miles Monroe, erstwhile jazz clarinetist and proprietor of the Happy Carrot Health Food Restaurant on Bleecker Street in Greenwich Village. Hospitalized in 1973 for a routine ulcer operation that results in fatal complications, he is frozen in aluminum foil and then unwrapped, bewildered but alive, exactly two hundred years later. Schlamiei gets girl He loses Luna to her "Bolshevik brothers," most notably the muscular Erno mentioned above, but wins her at the end, which leaves Woody Allen with both his first real amorous success and the worst ending of any of his films to date. Well, 1973 was not exactly a vintage year for film comedy, and Sleeper is thus a high point in an otherwise dismal valley. Very few comedians ever actually succeed in knocking their audiences over into the aisles, but we have come to expect just that from writer-director-star Allen and we can only be disappointed when we namage to stay effortlessly seated for an hour and a half. Allen and co-writer Marshall Brickman seem to have thrown in just about anything they could get their hands on, from slapstick to political satire to recurring sight gags to the usual heavy dose of weird one-liners (miles on clean living: "I don't drink, I don't smoke, I would never force myself sexually on a blind person"), but there are too few of those incongruous absurdities that Allen does perhaps better than anyone else. Diane Keaton, who co-starred in Play It Again, Sam, is once again a perfect foil for cosmic lover Allen. As the loony Luna, the beautiful poetess with a Ph.D. in oral sex ("That's great," Miles answers her, "did they make you take any Spanish with it?"), she shows herself to be a fine comedienne after his own heart, working especially well as Stanley Kowalski to Miles's Blanche Dubois in one of the film's funniest scenes. She seems to share her co-star's feelings for the ridiculous, and gets better, as does he, as the circumstances become increasingly absurd. The music, provided by both the New Orleans Funeral Ragtime Orchestra and real-life clarinetist Allen's own Preservation Jazz Band, came close to being the best part of the whole deal. As for Woody Allen, his talent as a comedian is not quite yet in danger of being eclipsed by his musicianship, but he'd better watch out a few more Sleepers just might do it. Copywrong His movements and facial expressions are terrific as usual, but the settings he creates for them are surprisingly uneven.

A tiny, but positively human, footprint. How you know the excitement that can run about your brain when you flip the pages of a book edited by Damon Knight. Nowhere does there exist a man so capable of choosing stories this thrilling to include in an anthology. Not wishing to keep you any longer in suspense, let's get back to the story; Exactly what was a footprint doing in the soap? The narrator of this story is at first shocked and he runs off in Robinson Crusoe fashion to prepare his defenses. Then, however, not immediately being attacked by the creature walking around in his soap, he begins to notice a certain daintiness in the curve of the arch and the point of the toes. He concludes that the print must necessarily belong to a female, despite the obvious fact that any print less than an inch long would necessarily be dainty. Then certain connotative uses of soap and its lubricant values pop up in his head. Who does the footpring belong to? Good, clean symbolism John Collier, author of this story which is suggestively called "Are You Too Late, or Was I too Early," creates a small winged nymph to fit the footprint. Someone, most likely the narrator himself, has trampled upon the narrator's cleanliness! Obvious, isn't it? The story's symbolism, unlike that in most science fiction, is easily seen. This implies that the story is not science fiction Damon Knight has labelled it "fantasy" and whishes to get that point fiction and fantasy. Besides, very few people in the science fiction field viction and fantasy. Besides, very few people in the science fiction field would want to be associated with a story about a tiny nymph prancing about in a sopa dish, believing that no one can take the place of Thumbelina, even the upstart Tinkerbell. Not-so-super-natural The title of the book also mentions the supernatural. If you like Hitchcock and Night Gallery, however, you will soon be disappointed. Even the H.P. Lovecraft story which is included is not of his usual sort. While "The Dream Quest of Unknown Kadath" is one of his most famous works, it is not in any way his most representative. This story is indeed a quest, for it searches for a reason for its having been written in the most peculiar places. Kadath is the sunset city seen by Randalph Carter in several complicated dreams. It becomes the desire of his life to reach this city, and, like John Carter of Edgar Rice Burroughs' Martian works, Randalph travels by willing hemself there. With this spectacular command of astro-projection he travels the many middle-earths of the dream world and finally meets up with Nyarlathotep, the crawling chaos. Through him, or it, Randalph learns that Kadath is not a real live city but is instead only the many happy childhood memories he holds of the sunsets over Boston and New —Kirstein 1 Waiting for Godot' as the Orbit series. He also edited the first in the series of Science Fiction Writers of America annual award anthologies; Nebula Award Stories 1965. Award story anthology contributions have little in common except that or runners-up in the same England. One is immediately aware of a difference they have all been winners Knight carries this lack or actual consistency into contest. Lurking as "The others, this and his such story between almost all of his anthologies, including this, his latest. Fear" and "The Haunter of the Dark.” There is one consistency, however, that he and many editors comply with: when a story by Larry Niven is other Science fiction vs. science fact must appear as the very last story of the Science fiction is not absent from The Golden Road, to be included, it this law has bever been written down, almost book. While with Air despi' every anthology I have ever read has done this to Niven, and in his case this is not to save the best for last. "Not Long Before the End" is a poor story far from his Ringworld zenith. Deliciously different Of the, nineteen stories in the book, three were written by females. This is a relatively high proportion when it comes to fantasy and science fiction. Kate Wilhelm, Zenna Henderson and Ursula K. le Guin have each written stories that gave Damon Knight "delicious glimpses into certain realms" not commonly viewed by man. Of the three, Ursula K. le Guin is the only one possessing any degree of consistent good writing. In 1970 her novel. The Left Hand of Darkness, won a Hugo award and last year her novella The Word for World is Forest did the same. The story in this anthology is "The Word of Unbinding," and while it appears to be a typical example of sword and sorcery, it betrays a quality rarely seen in le Gum's other writings; the art of the pun. The tale is about an introverted warlock and it is carried out with the highest degree of intellect imaginable for the printed page But then, le Guin has always been amazing. stories by Arthur Machen and Heywood Broun, there are works by Cyril M. Kornbluth, Alfred Bester and H.G. Wells. There is also the novelette by Robert A. Heinlein which is the second half of another book often seen as Waldo and Magic, Inc. Heinlein is very talkative about Magic, Inc. and he labels it "fantasy," saying that it is based on the violation of scientific fact because it treats magic and astrology as if they were sciences. Heinlein feels that science fiction in the true sense of the word must be based on science fact, thus holding with the Analog school of reasoning. Since his story treats magic as a scientific fact, the story is based on scientific fact and should therefore be considered science fiction. Magic. Inc. has very little in common with what Heinlein compares it to: the Oz books. Heinlein's story has no munchkins, and what is an Oz book without pictures or munchkins in it? Not 'In Deep' enough Damon Knight has tried, though. He is the editor of several anthologies, including In Deep and Far Out, as well - ‘ The Student Theatre Guild and Department of Theatre present Samuel Beckett's Waiting for Godot at 8 p.m. in Harriman Theatre Studio tonight and tomorrow.

New-found freaks For those unfamiliar with the usual freak crowd of fantasy and science fiction writers, Damon Knight includes stories by Mark Twain and Stephen Vincent Benet. Twain's story is one of the few good ones to be found in the book and it sheds a great deal of light on Twain's character and religious beliefs. Benet's story sheds nothing. It is called "The King of Cats" and it introduces a musical conductor who conducts with his long cat-like tail. On the epic scale there is a piece of literary rambling called "Phantas." It was written by one Oliver Onions; knowing this does not help matters in the least. It is a little paradox revolving around a Moby Dick/Ancient Mariner wave that has a tendency to splash the reader in the eye, thus making him blind for the next five sentences. Allegorical meaning can be suspected, but finding it is difficult. The story was picked by Damon Knight; therefore, the darkness lies in him. This is the usual situation with him, and he shall never really be understood. On the whole, this anthology lacks all the values of synergy that most anthologies thrive upon. The stories themselves are not unusual, nor are they complementary The Golden Road represents nothing more than a feeble attempt to follow the path towards wealth, or at least a little pocket cash. Someone has obviously stepped in Knight's soap. —Linda Michaels �small screen The Questor Tapes (Star Treat) For the first time in many weeks the television presented a program full of humor and sumbolism, and geared toward the adult, intellectual mind. The Questor Tapes a proposed series written and created by Gene Roddenberry and Gene Coon (the executive producers from Star Trek ) parallels in many ways Shelley's Frankenstein. The major difference is that the human-like "monster" (android) Questor, with a bionic-plasma brain, was created especially to save mankind. In the movie, Questor, excellently portrayed by Robert Foxworth, is literally searching for himself and his reason for existence. With the help of his "friend" and maker, Jerry Robinson (played by Mike Farrell) Questor roams the earth looking for his creator, with the U. S. secret service on his trail. He is considered a machine; one step above the level of a slave, liberated to the status of friendship. Questor yearns to feel. he is almost too emotional to be an android. The plot of The Questor Tapes, although fantastic, is feasible. Questor is not a superman, tike man, he is vulnerable and capable of mistakes. The idea presented by Roddenberry is thought-provoking. Imagine a series of beings descendent from UUAlB an android set on the earth by extreterestrial creatures to watch over man until the end of his childhood. Conceive of a world protected from the fear of self-destruction by the human species. The character of Questor was well developed. Consideration was given to his somewhat jerky movements while his voice carries a quality which one might expect from a computer (if it could talk). As a new creation, Questor's knowledge is not complete and incorrect assumptions he makes are often amusing. At times the show was almost too trite or corny, on the level of Marcus Welby. Yet, they can be forgiven for bringing emotions to the screen by the high-quality enjoyment which results.

(M. Wolf) ! Most salesmen use a degree of psychology in their sales pitches. A salesman may come on as super-sincere. He may attempt to you mystify with elaborate technical jargon. He may also play upon your natural desire to please him or your desire to feel that you are making a shrewd purchase. Remember that no matter how knowledgeable a his advice is nearly always based upon a profit motive and, therefore, always salesman v appears, suspect. It is important that if you have equipment which is heavily and readily discounted (such as AR, Dyna, or Sherwood all fine names, incidentally) you will not be allowing the retailer a large profit margin. For this reason it is likely that a salesman will make deprecatory remarks about your choices as a prelude to pushing components that earn him a larger profit. Several types of "pushed" equipment are chosen — 3. Infalted List Prices Many more than quality or component manufacture reputation. If a manufacturer sets an artificially high list price on his equipment, retailers can offer large discounts and still reap a hefty profit The only way to be sure of getting a fair discount is to gauge local mail-order by discounts quotations or the listings in Consumer Guide. attracted are discounts customers by 4. Poorly Distributed Imports A heavily pushed item among some small dealers is the high-priced import (usually European) that has only limited distribution in the U.S. In some cases, namely Decca and Quad equipment, the components are superior and worth the additional cost. But more often, there highly-touted brands are merely the continental equivalents of lower-priced and widely distributed components that are well-known in the States. In terms of price, service, and reliability, the well-distributed item is usually a better buy. examined below: MUS 312 Master Composer TTh 11:30-1 00 p.m. 4 cr. 101 Baird Overview of the symphony, concerto and quartet in Mozart & Haydn (J.

"Spiffing," "Shmearing," and "Push Money" In an effort to increase the sale of weak performers, some cash manufacturers provide incentives to salesmen who push their products.

If you receive an overwhelming endorsement for seemingly unspectacular equipment that is neither price-controlled nor house brand, you can assume that push money is behind it.

"David, hand me those wire cutters, will ya?" Steve then proceeded to cut the different colored wires that comprised the burglar alarm system at Macy's. David quietly read aloud the sequence of colored wires that had to be snipped. Graham kept a vigilant look out over the dark, damp back alley. It took Steve almost 40 minutes to finally unhook the burglar alarm. You see, Steve had once played electric guitar, and so he thought he knew all about electrical systems. "Graham, come over here and give me a hand with this door," David whispered cautidbsly. David knew a lot about doors and what holds them you know, nuts and bolts and the like. He used together to be quite a nut himself in his heyday. Graham and David at last were able to dismantle the heavy, iron door that led into Macy's stock room. Steve grabbed his tool chest and followed David and Graham into the cold, dark room. Graham lead the way through the stock room and then on to the first floor. Graham was picked to memorize the floor plan since he was the only one who ever really knew where he was going. Steve barked out the orders: "David, you go to Men's Wear, and Graham, you go to Appliances." "And where are you going?" Graham asked — suspiciously in his English accent. "I'm going to the Jewelry displays, of course," Steve answered in a softer, apologetic tone.

Walsh left Gang to strike out on a solo career, taking with '; ' :, ,n-v' , V’V . ; ■ j!', - . • 'wm. . 1 iVkV&l ’LiJrs^-^Stfkyi "Oh no you're not," David said. "You're going to the Record Department like we planned," Graham said to Steve. Steve stared back angrily, but finally gave in. Steve, you understand, was used to getting his way in the old days. Steve, David and Graham used to be the core of a famous band until the vinyl shortage hit home, and only a few select artists were able to continue to record. Vinyl was now worth millions, and only a very few wealthy people could afford to buy a record. Steve walked into the small Record Department and started to look around. He immediately saw the "Platinum Oldies" sign and walked over to the record stack underneath the sign. Thumbing through the oldies he saw records by the Band, the Beatles, Dylan and others, all in alphabetical order. He finally got down to "Y" and noticed a copy of a Neil Young album. Time Fades Away. Steve took the album out of its place and carefully examined the back. "Wow, David and Graham had helped Nell out on this one. Yeah, I remember this one. I couldn't help out because I was under contract," Steve whispered to himself. "A live album with cuts taken from his concert tour. Kind of a weird album, if I recall. Neil was always a perfectionist and insisted on careful, precise studio work. Then he puts out a live album with songs on it that are more autobiographical than anything," Steve thought to himself. "And Neil was always pretty hidden about things, especially his past, and here he comes on singing songs like "Don't Be Denied" and "Time Fades Away." "L.A." and "Yonder Stands the Sinner" turned out to be only fair him his Jeff Beck stylized guitar ringings and nasal vocal twangings. Walsh's departure paved the way for a refortified group that has added two members to pick up the musical slack created by Joe's absence. Tommy Bolin handles guitar chores, with an occassional assist on moog synthesizer, while Roy Kenner assumes lead vocal responsibilities. Born of this union is the latest James Gang product entitled Bang. Its offerings provide a mixed bag of results which tilt towards the unfavorable. Bang is a plstter of derivative middle American rock 'n roll that serves up more than it can deliver. Bolin's guitar assaults have a certain tastiness which refuses to degenerate into mere offensive gimmickery. Yet too often the songs fizzle into nothing more than vehicles for Bolin's axe exploits, which are fine but, appear to be an easy device to terminate an underdeveloped musical motif. Kenner's vocal renderings possess a fuller sound than Walsh's did, but his voice is ultimately unidentifiable, in the sense that it resembles a curious hybrid of other voices in other rock bands muted into anonymity. "Standing in the Rain" is the cut where everything miraculously jells for the James Gang. Kenner's vocal surges with unexpected energetic enthusiasm, ably complemented by Bolin's flashy guitar bits, which are nicely double—tracked'. Jim Fox and Dale Peters (the original Gang members) provide a raunchy rhythm section that anchors the song with a funky foundation. It's the Herbie Hancock Headhunters (Columbia) Herbie Hancock's latest offering on Columbia records at times tasty and inspired; at times monotonous and insipid, far below the capabilities of such a talented musician. Headhunters is the name and electronic keyboards is the game. Boasting the use of electric piano, clavinet and synthesizer, Hancock reaches into the contemporary bag of transistors and sockets to produce a variance of tonalities and rhythmic interplay that should keep you waiting and wanting. The album and the group use Hancock as the foundation, that is, the group seems to be at its best only while Hancock is the main force behind the musical attack. This album cannot be judged at one sitting. Its impact comes only after the third or fourth listening and even then it's difficult to judge the complexities and simplicities of what you've just heard. Is the sameness of the rhythm section a front for the complex meanderings of the soloist, or is it a complex part of the whole, that whole being comprised of the rhythm section's own melodis, and is a contradiction — f rhythmic, interpretations of the melody? Hancock's approach to the formulation of this album seems to rest in the two-fold interpretation of the title. It wants us to consider the meaning of "head." In the strict, musical sense, the "head" was the melody that was to be played or interpreted by the instrumentalist or vocalist. In common usage, "head" means our concept of self. Hancock has taken and combined these concepts of headhunting «nd has attempted to find our musical head, both melodic and self, with a cornucopia of chordal and rhythmic progressions. He extends this search through the use of polyphonies, two-handed chordal progressions, while the rhythm section attunes itself to poly-rhythmic stabs and flashes. The most blatant example of this approach is the opening tune "Chameleon." As the title foreshadows, the concept of change. Hancock's group changes moods through the use of smoothly polished tempos and chord progressions. This might seem to be an innovation, but the use of these concepts of changing rhythmic and chordal progressions has been happening since the mid- and late-fifties by Monk and Mingus.

All of a sudden all the lights flashed on in the store. Steve immediately dropped down behind the record counter. He clutched Time Fades Away to his chest in anticipation of what lay ahead. His only chance was to escape, he thought. He started crawling on his hands and knees towards the nearest exit door. Suddenly a voice over the PA system broke the empty department store's silence. "Mr. Stills, this is the police. Come to the front of the store and surrender yourself. The store is surrounded so you can't get away. We've already caught your two partners." "Guess I didn't quite disassemble that burglar alarm right," he sadly thought to himself. —Sheldon Kamieniecki perfect number to blare from the battered radio of your '57 Chevy when cruising for burgers. The rapture of the rocking merriment that sweats from "Standing in the Rain" unfortunatly seems alien to the remainder of the disc. "Alexis," a soft, slow ballad that transforms into a guitar rocker, never supplies the adequate tension to justify the mood. 'The Devil Is Singing Our Song'' is reminiscent of Free, but the tune is marred by a forced and predictable psuedo-blues style. A flirtation with a cappella is poorly realized in "Rather Be Alone With You," which falters because the vocal nuances employed are decidedly too pedestrian. "Mystery" flounders in a sea of confusion highlighted by cloying strings and inconsequential moog ramblings. The James Gang's Bang is the attempt by an American rock 'n roll band raised and reared on "Funk 49" to come to some terms with new group identity and changing trends in rock music. It would perhaps be wisest for the James Gang to orient their musical sound with mean, lean arrangements that smoke fire (like "Standing in the Rain") and embellish bhem with vocal layerings and interplays. Their album finally disappoints due to a severe shortage of topnotch material, and the mediocre tunes have only their inoffensiveness to recomment them. As it stands now, the new James Gang album is more of a whimper than a bang. —C.P. Parkas Hancock's addition has been the modernization of these concepts through the use of the electronic modes currently available. A better example of this electronic adaptation of the Monk/Mingus thesis could be seen in that refreshing symphonette / Sing the Body Electric (by Weather Report). Hancock's roots, as is the case for most jazz musicians today, rest in bop. Now if you're going to contend that the last bop solo was the piano work on Charles Lloyd's Forest Flower: Sunrise/Sunset, then give a relisten to Hancock's phrasing and accentuation throughout this album. It flashes back to "Monk's Dream" and emerges in '73 with Hancock's "Headhunt." Headhunters is the continuation of Hancock's journey to find his musical self. When that journey will end, I hope we'll never know, for in that search to find himself, he includes us, and that awareness of being is what this album is all about. It's a statement of intent. It's telling us where Herbie Hancock is going, and what's more, the fact that he's asking us to come along. —Bear �Howlin' Wolf The Backdoor Wolf (Chets) Muddy Waters Can't Get No Grindin (Chest) Well kiddies. Chess has issued two more chapters in the musical lives of McKinley Morganfield and Chester Burnett. The former entitled Can't Get No Grindin and the latter The Backdoor Wolf. Now, what can you say about these two men and their music that hasn't been said before? Usually We get the same questions, answered wi, same pat phrases. We could always do a clinical research essay on before the age of 12. Do these kind of questions reflect the importance of the man or his recorded output? I don't know, simply because most reviews tend to get hung up on their roots and the overall importance thereof. We could always define the blues! So what do you get for your five bucks simple, good old Chicago "electric blues" that basic boogie thgt all those white bands, English and American, have copped? But is it really "Copped" material? Maybe. Shrug. These two albums are the next chapters in the recorded novels of two great blues artists. The problem arises from the fact that musically what we have has been "institutionalized" into what we know generically as Chicago blues. Its the sameness of lyrics and melody that helps us to find continuation of life through this know generically as Chicago blues. It's the sameness of lyrics and nicotine N. alcohol music. It's audioexistentialism. I'm not about to try and convince you that the blues are involved in philosophical nicotine n' alcohol music. It's audioexistentialism. I'm'not about is the fact that these albums, and AH blues recordings, present what is the basis of all music: the emotion of living. The Blues are feelings, and no matter how many times you hear the Wolf using the same melody or Muddy using those patented lyrics, what they're expressing is just another set of emotional remembrances for us to ponder. The Blues and their exponents have the quality of universalim that no other musical form has yet achieved.

That's what these two records are about, the extension of what the Wolf and Muddy have been feeling. Of the two I prefer Backdoor Wolf. There's one thing blues doesn't need and that's electric harpsicord, and the first side of Muddys' Ip has alot of clarinet which sounds just like a harpsicord too bad Otis Spann had to go. Wolf's music has always been rated below Waters' and because of this has developed a certain amount of internal paranoia. I always liked underdogs anyway. They're both good sides solid Chicago blues. Either one will fill your needs. The recordings are good, as far as clarity and mix. Chess has always done a good job in that area. So step on out and pick up on 'em. Remember Muddy and the Wolf ain't immoral and they know it, so they're working extra hard for ya.

Jutt at important, our judgement of work is made in relationship to our catalogue of images in all areas of projection. As it was put to me by a local gallery director: "The purpose of a gallery it to present that Art which is saleable to the public." by Bob Muffoletto Spectrum Art Critic Photography functioning as a in Buffalo is non-existent. What does exist is a long-legged, confused octopus. The trunk containing th« ideation of the word photography. Its arms, which dangle and loom over us like our own transforming shadow, are the far-reaching expressions of the photographic media. Its range is from the professional fancy-dancer to the sixty second wizard. Photography, as a personal expression of a universal concept, has not revealed itself fully in Buffalo. To explain further: experience Dave Heath's slide tape show. Album, (that is, if someone at Media Study will show it.) To add salt to my distilled water, I attended an opening at the Gallery Without Walls on Franklin Street. The images were those of Russell Drisch. First, a round of applause for the Gallery for attempting to show photographic work and second to Mr. Drisch for being a fine technician and commercial photographer. His product being a series of hand-colored photographs averaging in size of about 20 x 40 inches. The series contains several heads of cabbage, celery, a tricycle, and others including many peppers. Mr. Drisch expresses his sensous mental images to us without hesitation. community Hues The objects (mainly colored soft pink To understand that statement would likely make Steiglitz open his own gallery which he did. Photography is not shown because it also is not a saleable item (I am not separating art from photography). As a - result of this, the public is robbed of its truthful shadow.

They lack interest (over time) and fail to say anything coloring different, new or interesting photographs were done as far back as the 1850's, in an attempt to copy nature. (And let us not forget Ed Weston and his peppers.) Interesting work with the coloring of — photographs in this area is being done by Barbara ReVelle, who is presently of the faculty at Buffalo State College. Drisch might do well to speak with her. In an overall context, Drisch’s work with images can represent whatever you think they are. As members of the viewing aucience, it may be time to question what we are Realizing the financial problems of a. showplace, the concern for saleable items is understandable. But there is a need to become responsible, to shoulder the effects and understand the outcome of displaying policies. This responsibility must be shared by the gallery director, the artist and the viewer alike. The responsibility is indeed ours. We must contend with the fact that the Art of today reflects the culture of tomorrow. A giddy mood The anatomy of language starts with letters, then slowly evolves (It has occasionally been claimed that The Prodigal Sun is dull, dry, and lacking in a steady humor department. While it may still be dull and dry, at least we can now boast a regular humor column. Jeffrey C., a UB alumnus, has no pretentions about being a great columnist. "I'm just a regular Joe." he says, "who happens to know more about humor than anoyone in the universe. Than anyone on my block, anyway." —JB) by Jeffrey C. Scofield Spectrum Arts Staff Perhaps you have noticed that a great majority of printed matter is composed of small symbols, called "letters." The function of these letters of the alphabet is to represent sounds. The letter H, for instance, represents the sound of a car door being slammed. Just about everyone has heard by now that we get our word "alphabet" (such as it is) from the names of those first two Greek letters, "alpha" and "beta." The Greek looked upon these little dancing creatures of their alphabet as more than just pets (more like members of the family), and therefore gave these names to them. It is as though we were to call out letters "Alan," "Beth," "Camille," and so on. If we were to use this system, then words would become no more than lists of friendly-sounding names. "Camille, Alan, Thomas," would say the schoolchild learning to spell. "Today we learned all about Susan and Harold," your daughter might tell you, and if you were quick you would understand. In most known languages, words are made up of "roots," with other parts (called "leaves") added on, usually just as an afterthought. For instance, the word "repairman" is made up of "repair," familiar to speakers of English in the phrase "He repaired his car himself," and "man," as in the phrase "Then he had to call the man to come and tow it." Sometimes whole sentences are built this way, bit by bit, as in "Some piano players play player pianos some." Now words were not always in the sensible form that we have them in today, all brushed and neat. People have been hard at work for centuries to bring them into manageable form. Before the dawn of recorded history, all words were begun with a little cough, represented in the alphabet by an asterisk (*). Because of this, the words for "cough" and for "Speak" were the same word. This made it difficult for the doctors of the time to tell when people were too sick to go to work, which resulted in very little actual work getting done. The amount of coughing, however, was enormous. Later, this "cough prefix" was eliminated as too much of a bother, and people really got down to business. And this led to the invention of civilization as we know it, the rise and fall of Rome, and the opaque projector. In her book Water Moccasins Are Not, Moccasins, Elizabeth HeaRtless makes, I think, a similar point when she says "... and the same is true of the so-called 'sea-cow,' which is in fact no cow at all. (It is some sort of fish, t suppose. It must be, if it is to survive for very long at sea.)" Heartless has brought sober reasoning to bear on the difference between what something is, and what it isn't, a distinction much passed over in this day of heavy travel. Perhaps, if we would let her, Elizabeth would lead us by the hand into the 'Land of What Is What.' Then again, maybe she wouldn't. At any rate, it is obvious that everything is something. Further complications are caused when people refuse to say what they mean. Let us say, for instance, that you wish to tell your friend, "John is eager to please." However, just as you are about to say this, you see John coming around the corner in a black mood. Knowing that this is the last thing John wants to hear, you say instead, "John is easy to please," which is just the sort of thing jbL Tippy’s Taco House Mexican Foods S&JfiS~60 oz. pitcher John likes to hear; he is always bragging about how easygoing he is. And the whole system of language, slaved over by scholars for millennia, goes down the drain. For language to work, you have to say what you mean. History records the tragic case of cryptologist Vincent Carstairs, who had trained himself to say "lunchbox" instead of "atom bomb," in the interest of national security. One day he showed up for work carrying an atom bomb instead of a lunchbox. On being questioned, he could not say how he came to have it, and was released. Driving home that night, he missed his turn and accidentally drove his car down a flight of stairs. Although unhurt, he was never again the same man. He was much better, actually. cAURUM HANDCRAFTED AND ANTIQUE JEWHIW of beer $1.2o 838-3900 2351 Sheridan Drive !OS3aAAMOOP>VBMUE/ 883-6786/TUE-SAE/ HOO-7WO/ NATIVE AMERICAN STUDIES COURSE AMS 285—The natural world us, the legal world: an examination of conflicting cultures (Tues.-Thurs. 2-4) is under-enrolled & accepting students-NOTE-that it is desirable, but not necessary to have been exposed to the native perspective in a previous AMS course.

We regret the omission of the reviewer’s name. To the Editor: After I read, reread and reread again your first article on U.B.’s Experimental Colleges, it seems to me that your description is distorted, omitting important aspects of the Colleges. For me to rebut each description (and lack of one) would be to over-extend my allotted space, but I will exemplify my claims. As one of the first students in College A and later co-ordinator after Dr. Snell’s resignation, I have never witnessed or heard of any member of the College “trying to proselyte youngsters in the U.B. area to become revolutionaries.” Your claim that at the time of the “shakeup, members channeled its energies into more community accepted efforts such as helping the handicapped” is absolutely wrong on its timing. As director of Community Service Projects for the College (including those working with the handicapped), I know they began with College A’s inception in 1968, since at that time, I originated the first such program Communicative Creativity Workshop for the Handicapped. What perhaps riled me most about your article is that it left out the most important concept learning, creativity, people deciding what they are interested in and how they can best persue it. As a currerit faculty member in the School of Health Education, and doctoral candidate in Curriculum Development Faculty of Educational Studies, I have had the opportunity of numerous rich and rewarding experiences. However, none has contributed as much to me as a person as my association with the Colleges did. - - Bambii Abelson Kertzman Director of Communicative Creativity School of Health Education Benedict Arnold award To the Editor: I would like to announce the presentation of the Benedict Arnold Award to Jonathan Reichart, chairman of the Faculty Senate Committee oh the Colleges. He has demonstrated the uncanny ability to misrepresent the facts, distort evaluations, lie to colleagues, perpetuate distrust and otherwise subvert the faith that members of the Collegiate System had in his integrity. His unforeseen candor in blatantly disregarding his own pleas for “honesty, cooperation and a common goal” earn him this unusual award. Let him wear it in good faith, and let this achievement be added to his career file next to his “Destroyed Academic Innovation for the Most Brownie Points” award.

All good things will soon come to an end, of by Barry Kaplan The past few months have seen a spate of articles, reports and commentary concerning the “Energy Crisis.” Most of these literary and visual disgressions have centered upon the statistics of the crisis; the usual cause-and-effect mechanisms and the exciting “human interest” angles. A few enterprising journalists, however, have speculated upon the effect of this crisis pertaining to our lifestyle and entertainment habits. A recent article in Time noted a decrease in mechanical entertainment, e.g., motorboats, mechanical games, etc., and the rise of so-called course, Friday, 25 January 1974 Editor-in-Chief Managing Editor Howie Kurtz — — ... — old-fashioned entertainment; Monopoly, walking, et al. One journalist noticed that the demand for birth control pills has skyrocketed since the beginning of the energy crisis. It is the above-mentioned factor that will probably have the most important effect on the American people rich or poor, young or old, we all ball. Now that the energy pretty or ugly crisis has begun to restore to the American people the old-fashioned pleasures, there can be no doubt that this could revolutionize our entire sexual morality. People who used to condemm the joys of sex when the act was not intended to bring a child into the world will soon swing over to the other side when they realize that sex is serving a very useful function for the state. Just imagine . . . instead of Johnny Carson . . . you commit fellatio, instead of electric blankets, you all in the name of have a group-grope patriotism and energy consumption. This increased use of birth control will mean that even the most prudish will do their share in order to keep warm without using precious fuel. Just imagine the new pickup lines at the local “meat markets:” Hi honey, wanna share some heat? . . . Hey baby, wanna fuck for economy: independence?” Now that fornication will meet middle-class America’s innate need to accomplish something, and now that Onan’s seed will not be spilled in vain, sex will have a utilitarian image much like chopping wood for the fireplace or shoveling coal for the furnace. It seems as if sex would be the best way to meet the energy crisis what other form of entertainment can create its own heat (when you ball you could turn down the thermostat), burn up unsightly fat, use no electricity, and allow you to meet people? Of course there will be drawbacks. The electric dildo industry and its allied cousins will take a different plunge; although they might lose money, the lack of these artificial contrivances might help its former jaded users rediscover the nitty gritty of the sex act. In the frantic search for a good partner, many couples might now both looking for a longer-lasting break up mate. Soon the in-status symbol will be the and (of couple that can fuck the longest course) produce the most heat. Most likely some ingenious entrepreneur will dream up the idea of a fornication marathon and hope it becomes an Olympic event. Although Mark Spitz might have disliked training for his gold medals, it’s quite possible that future Olympics contestants might — — 1 ... - - enjoy their training. Of course, Bobby Riggs and fellow Americans In these times of great hardship and travail, your government has attempted to utilize every method possible in order to alleviate the Fuel Crisis. Right now, our scientists have been working day and night in order to devise new methods to cut consumption, and at the same time, create new sources of energy. One night two scientists realized that the solution to this crisis lay right under our very noses. Immediately they invented a new bed, which through constant and rhythmic motions can produce enough energy to power one home. This brilliant device harnessed to the proper machinery could, if used by enough people, produce all of America’s energy needs. However, we need your cooperation in order to utilize this device. Our plan is to set up giant “Fornication for Freedom” Halls of 100,000 beds each, where Americans can come and produce energy.” If this fantasy was put in practice, you can imagine the results. Dick, Pat, Trish, Ed, Julie and of course David, could demonstrate their patriotism on national television. People would be encouraged to ball, stipends could be given to those who gave the most of themselves to the country (blood donors would be relegated to second place), virgins would be considered unpatriotic, and celibacy a crime. Everyone, hetero and gay alike, could mix together freely and show themselves to others. This fantasy, like other American dreams, eventually will crumble and fade soon as reality sets in, and the sexual act looses its mystique. After volunteerism fails as a tactic, the government would probably set up a compulsory schedule for each American citizen above twelve years of age. This schedule involving all Americans would meet all of our energy needs; however, it would soon create new subversive groups. The youth of America, who would probably bear the burden of our energy would soon object to this production, mechanistic national model. They would attempt to get deferments. This movement would soon be aided by effete snobs and impudent liberals who just couldn’t get it up and rationalized their failure upon some bullshit like individual rights and civil liberties. This underground movement would attempt to keep their virginity despite the laws, or make love in private in order to avoid government service. They would demonstrate their opposition in' mass demonstrations where masturbation would be practiced and copulation - Vol. 24, No. 46 middle-class joy and utility can be combined.

The gripes about procedure follow more from This is the first of two parts dealing with the deficiencies of our deliberative bodies, notably the Faculty-Senate and the Student Assembly. As one who has observed academic politics in much the same manner as a medical student regards his cadaver something ill even beyond the ministrations of such creatures as freshman medical students and collegiate journalists I find it interesting that in many respects the Faculty-Senate is no better than the Student Assembly. - — Tuesday’s Faculty-Senate meeting devoted to the proposed Collegiate Prospectus showed that the Senate, presumably a body of greater maturity and intellectual capacity than the Student Assembly, shares with that last-named circus some common problems. The conventional wisdom among too many of my colleagues is that both bodies are stifled by parliamentary procedure which is used to manipulate affairs to the satisfaction of the powers that be. Bunk. More mature Film 9 — misunderstanding and frustration than reasonable consideration. Both the Faculty-Senate and the Student Assembly share three basic problems: First,, both the Faculty-Senate and the Student Assembly are part-time bodies trying to do a full-time job. Second, in both bodies a disheartening number of morons refuse to do their homework. Third, on important issues the fears and emotions of interested parties make a reasonable settlement a task for statesmen of far greater capacity than either body is likely to attract. The debate over a proposed amendment to the Faculty-Senate Colleges Committee’s majority report that would change the membership of the chartering body [for details see the story on page three] demonstrated the futility of trying to hammer out practical, detailed reforms in a mass body composed of individuals with other duties. Although I first spoke in favor of the Colleges’ Conference Theatre proposal, 1 became convinced in the. course of the debate that neither the amendment nor the original proposal was adequate. Several Senators raised cogent objections to specific problems in the Colleges’ proposal. But from experience watching the Student Assembly I knew the sensible course would not be taken. What is the sensible course? It is obviously not trying to work out a fair, detailed, compromise solution in a room full of people who want to go home. A full-time legislative body can indulge in the protracted horsetrading and politicking that is essential to passing reasonable legislation. In a part-time body this is, of course, impossible. In consequence, both the Faculty-Senate and the Student Assembly can do little more than react vaguely to proposals submitted by their relevant committees. At the last Faculty-Senate meeting, the sensible course would have been not to vote at the end of the discussion (Here 1 must compliment Chairman Gil Moore for his good sense in judging when discussion becomes pointless and keeping order while stopping it. I hope the far more abrasive chairman-elect, George Hochfield, can do as well), but to send the Senators and Colleges representatives who raised substantive objections to another room and to tell them to come back in half an hour with a new amendment while the Senate discussed other matters. The same problem occurs year after year in the Student Assembly at budget time. The annual spectacle of the Assembly trying to rewrite a budget on the floor of the Assembly is so familiar and so pathetic that I could report accurately on such a meeting without attending. The point is that the main bodies should not waste time with detailed compromises. The full membership of the Senate and the Assembly should poke holes in the committees’ original proposals and raise ideas that the committee should take back with them when they rewrite their proposals. The committees should then incorporate and reconcile the major objections (after meeting with spokespersons for various positions) and present suitably altered legislation. Reasonable settlements should then be much easier.

Pepper said the dormitory had some white students living in it The New York State Board of Regents has called for an end to segregated dormitories. The Board called upon Education Commissioner Ewald Nyquist to stop what is termed a “small number” of colleges and universities from segregating minority students in dormitories, as well as in any other “facilities or programs.” The New York Times named Cornell University, the State University at New Paltz, Sarah Lawrence College in Bronxville, and Rensalaer Polytechnic Q; When should I apply for financial aid?

He said Housing makes a “conscious effort to insure that dorms are not segregated.” Additionally, Mr. Boyce said none of the dorms on this campus were predominantly composed of third world students nor other minority students. Mr. Boyce described this University’s housing “Returning dormitory residents get system: preference to the building they want to live in. A certain number of beds in each hall are reserved for new students, who select their preferences on the basis of a lottery.” Mr. Boyce said: “If enough students of one particular group requested a dorm, then conceivably, it could be segregated. But the chances for that happening are very small.” Voluntary complaince sought In order to eliminate the segregated dormitories, the State Education Department will negotiate with the various colleges, attempting to have them “voluntarily comply” with the Education Department’s ruling. Ultimately, should a particular school not comply, various administrative or economic sanctions could be imposed upon it.

About 400 persons stood at the base of the state Capitol’s front steps for more than an hour as state and local members of the “right to life” movement urged passage of a constitutional amendment banning abortions. The rally, and smaller observances held elsewhere in the state, coincided with the first anniversary of the U.S. Supreme Court ruling , that abortion was constitutional. Last year, the state legislature amid a storm of controversy adopted a bill repealing New York State’s abortion law.

Bull hoopsters whip Cornell and put stop to record losing streak Sophomore guard Giry. Domzalski exploded for 22 points, and handed out eleven assists to lead the basketball Bulls to their first win of the season, a 91-76 mauling of Cornell Wednesday night at Clark Hall. The victory snapped a twelve gstae losing* streak, longest in the Bulls’ annals, dating back to last season’s finale against crosstown rival Buffalo State. The The game marked head caoch Leo Richardson’s first triumph as varsity mentor at Buffalo, while the loss left the Bid Red, who were out to avenge last year’s three point loss at Cornell, with an equally disappointing 2-11 record. “I think we’ve played better ball games and lost,” remarked Richardson, “but Tm happy to win.” Buffalo opened an early 17-11 lead, but couldn’t add to it, as Cornell came back to knot the score up at 31-31 with six minutes remaining in the first half. Unlike other games this year, when it was a Bull tradition to collapse after leading and enter the locker room at halftime on the short end of the score, the Bulls outscored Cornell 10-3 to take a 41-43 lead at intermission. Richardson’s “pride and joy”, reserve center Jim Slayton, sparked Buffalo in the second half. Behind Slayton’s seven rebounds and five locked shots, the Bulls opened a lead which grew to 19 points. Slayton played only sixteen minutes in the second half before fouling out. With three minutes remaining, he retired with a standing ovation from the sparse crowd. Buffalo secured a slim 56-54 margin on the boards, Buffalo swimmers led by freshman center Mike Jones’ 13 rebounds. The Bulls tossed in 30 assists, tying their, one game record, and Domzalski’s 11 was one short of the record he shares with three other players. Despite being given fewer free throws than the opposition for the twelfth time in twelve games, the Bulls outscored Cornell from the free throw line. Buffalo cashed in on 17 or 19 charity tosses, including 14 of 15 in the second half as opposed to a 12 for 23 free throw slate for the Big Red. The improvement by Slayton somewhat lessend the impact of losing junior center Tom Tobias for the season. Tobias was declared academically ineligible. The Bulls travel downtown to Memorial Auditorium tomorrow to face a strong (7—4) Albany squad in the first game of a doubleheader. The Bulls lead the series with Albany, 14-1, and hope to carry a two game winning streak into Washington Tuesday to face Catholic University in the first of a two game road trip. Buffalo travels to Fairfield Wednesday before returning home to face Colgate in Memorial Auditorium next Saturday night. could lead to a long week for the A loss to young Bulls, and could mean a long wait for Richardson’s second varsity triumph. Sports rap end two year streak Coaches to discuss strategy by Steve Lustig Spectrum Staff Writer UCLA saw their basketball winning streak broken last Saturday, another streak also fell as the swimming Bulls scored their first victory in over two years. Buffalo defeated Binghamton, 72-41 in Clark Hall. The Bulls last victory was over Slippery Rock on December 15, 1971. Much of the Bulls’ improvement could be traced to their extra work done at the swim forum in Fort Lauderdale during Captain Scott the holidays. ‘The reason we Benjamin noted: because of the workouts won was Florida. We three had workouts in a day and we really worked like hell.” While the Bulls did plenty of swimming in Flordia, the Colonial swimmers had been out of action during the semester recess. While many had expected a close match, (Binghamton won last year by one point), the Bulls won the first three events to pull out to a While commanding 23-2 lead Buffalo cut almost a minute off their 400 yard medley relay time as the team of Bill Perciak, Joe handheld, Benjamin, and Ralph Hoffman scored an easy victory in 4:23.4. Keil Wurl continued his excellent diving as he set a new pool and university record for the one meter required dive. “Excited” would be the best way to describe Coach Bill Sanford and assistant Craig Ritz after the meet. Sanford noted: “I think we’re on our way. We’re in a rebuilding period, but I’m sure this won’t be our last victory. The trip to Florida gave us a cohesiveness that we didn’t have before. We were in much better condition.” The Bulls host Brockport in Clark Hall at 2 p.m. tomorrow. Sanford commented: “I expect a very tight meet. They're a very fine team and I’m hopeful that we’ll do well.” Backstroker Bill Pericak added, ‘Their times have been pretty close to ours, so it should be a good match.” Position available THE SPECTRUM is looking for a Marketing Manager to work with the Advertising Manager in developing marketing strategies arid programs for The Spectrum.

Students will have a chance to ask these questions and others at the “Bulls Sports Rap.” Sports Information Director Dick Baldwin explained: “The Sports Rap is being set up to give a students an opportunity to meet coaches outside of game conditions. We’d like to get a go-between involving the teams and students. There can be discussions on rule interpretations, offense and defense, and general strategy involving the particular sport of each coach. It will not be limited to their particular team but discussions on the sport in general,” added Baldwin. The “Sports Rap” is being established by the University coaches, students, The Spectrum sports editor Dave Geringer and Warren Breisblatt, sports editor of Ethos. Baldwin noted that the program is starting on an experimental basis and the decision on whether it will continue will be up to the students. He indicated if enough student support was shown, eventually all the coaches would participate in the program. While some of the more popular sports might be discussed specifically at one meeting, that Baldwin said, “There could also be discussions on golf, tennis, swimming and others. Maybe we could also discuss pro sports and women’s sports.” Baldwin also noted that some highlights from previous games might be shown during the sessions. “When we had football here at UB, we used to show highlights on Mondays in Haas Lounge. If there is enough support for the program we might be able to do something similar,” said Baldwin. The first meeting will be held next Wednesday at 12:15 in Room 337 Norton Hall. Coach Ed Wright, of the hockey Bulls, will be on hand to discuss hockey. Also scheduled is Leo Richardson (head coach of the varsity basketball team) who will speak on Wednesday, February 6 at 12:15. Wrestling coach Ed Michael will appear on February 13. All meetings will be held in Room 337 Norton Hall. New extramural program feature 5 local tournaments 9 ‘ An innovative program in athletics, intramural “extramurals,” will take place during the next two months. The program is the brainchild of Buffalo intramural director Bill Monkarsh. The extramural program, bringing together student athletes from Buffalo, Buffalo State, Erie Community College and Canisius will feature five tournaments. Three-man basketball, one-on-one basketball, mixed doubles basketball (two-on-two mixed teams), five-man basketball and coed volleyball will be the featured sports. The preliminaries for these tournaments will be held by the four competing schools, with the semi-finals taking place at Buffalo State. The finals will be held at Memorial Auditorium before and at halftime of Buffalo Braves basketball games. The program is being sponsored by Genesee Beer, who will provide jerseys, trophies and officials for the Auditorium contests. “Schaefer Beer did this with the Knicks and the schools in New York,” said Monkarsh. “1 called Genesee Beer and they went for it and i went to the Braves and they went for it. I think that this is a great thing for the kids and a great thing for the schools. We are looking to have this annually,” Monkarsh added. The program, which is open only to full-time undergraduate students (ID cards will be required), draw its will participants from the Buffalo campus using a variety of methods. Preliminaries for the three-man basketball and one-on-one basketball will be conducted tomorrow. The one-on-one tournament will be split into two divisions (5-10 and under and 5-11 and over). The first thirty-two participants entering the gym for the one-on-one contest will be allowed to compete, while the first sixteen teams appearing for the three-man basketball tourney will be allowed to enter. Coed volleyball and mixed doubles will draw its participants from coed volleyball and basketball leagues which have already been established. The intramural basketball champion will advance to the semi-finals of the extramural tournament at Buffalo State. ***************************** J Republic Day of India (Cultural Program) Fillmore Room — Norton Hall Saturday, Jan. 26 at 6:00 p.m. REFRESHMENTS WILL BE SERVED I Sponsored by the India Student Assoc. and The International Student Committee * There are positions open for student representatives to the STUDENT ATHLETIC REVIEW BOARD.

The victory gave the Bulls a 12-8 log for the season, while RIT squared their mark at - 6-6. The Bulls started quickly, scoring three times in a span of 2:25 in the first period to take an invincible lead. Captain John Stranges scored twice and added one assist to give him the lead in point production for the season. Stranges’ 43 points tops linemate Mike Klym’s total by a single point. Buffalo freshman Bruce Hadsell tangles with Kent State's Denny Fellepelle in the 142 pound match. Fellepelle won 20-10. Wrestling Sometimes an event that doesn’t happen can be more important than one that does. Wednesday afternoon was a case in point when Buffalo’s matmen defeated Kent State by six points 21-15, the margin of a match forfeit. Kent had not brought a 118-pounder to challenge Buffalo’s Ron Langdon. The nine matches that followed the forfeit featured four wins a piece and one draw. The Bulls got off to a good start with strong wins by Bill Jacoutot (126) and Jim Young (134). Kent then won three matches in the middle weights including an upset over 167. Jerry Nowakowski at Nowakowski, undefeated a short time ago, has been upset in his last two matches. However, both matches were above his normal weight class. Faddoul’s comeback Emad Faddoul scored four points in the third period to win the 177-pound bout. The junior’s victory put the visitors in big trouble; nine points down with only two matches left. I ... The Bulls, now 14-1, are ranked fourth in the East in one poll, fifth in another and 20th nationally. There is a lull in the schedule now with matches against traditionally weak Buffalo State tomorrow and Guelph on Tuesday. However, the Guelph match may be close due to the different Canadian wrestling style. The next real challenge will be a much improved Syracuse team next weekend. 1/31 2/22 4/3 coed 1/29 2/1 2/19 4/8 "■ START S Runner an after t|our mix of espresso Sc mellom notes and sounds £ Noui featuring ti|e captiuating sounds of WHAT A SALK! f 'Tucky Demarest" EVERY ITEM IR OC/R STORE L 10% to 50% OFF !

The Larries, who always present a lineup featuring strong skaters, have won five of their last seven contests after dropping nine of their first ten. St. Lawrence, usually a playoff contender in ECAC Division I, may be hard pressed to make the tournament this season after their rough start. The Larries, who demolished Buffalo’s Division II archrival, Oswego, last Saturday night by 9—0, are paced in scoring by right wing Pete Blair. Blair, playing on SLU’s top line, has 23 points in 17 games to lead their scoring parade. St. Lawrence will probably start their top goaltender, Tom O’Connor, an excellent nctmindcr who allows very few rebounds. “We have two days of practice to get ready for St. Lawrence,” said Wright. ‘They’re a very quick team. They probably won’t move the puck as well as Ohio State (conquerors of Buffalo last semester). They’ll probably dump the puck in and forecheck.” Wright was undecided as to whether to start Maracle or John Moore in the Bull nets: “Right now, that remains to be seen.” SCniglps (SallerQ (Eafc # W24M3 Bulls ranked ENTRIES DUE EVENT I "j SALE ENDS Tomorrow NITE!

Steps taken by the Administration in response to federal and state calls for energy conservation include: 1) cutting off all fresh air fans, exhaust fan systems, and air-conditioning units after classes each evenings and on weekends; 2) modifying automatic doors so they operate manually; 3) lowering all campus thermostats to 68 degrees; 4) reducing corridor lighting; 5) replacing time-clock controls on automatic lighting with photo-electric cells; 6) turning off all lights when cleanup crews have finished in the evening; 7) limiting state vehicles to 10 gallons of gas when they fill up at University pumps; 8) placing “Conserve Fuel” stickers on all University vehicles; and 9) taping warning reminders on University vehicle speedometers at the 50-mile-per-hour mark. Gas squeeze “The administrative actions that are presently feasible have been or are being Uken. Now we need the responsible cooperation of every student and faculty and staff member to increase the University’s energy savings,” Dr. Kctter wrote in his monthly report to SUNY Chancellor Ernest Boyer. The state has asked this University to cut its energy consumption by 20%, but “there will be difficulties,” explained Burr C. Foils, assistant vice president for Physical Facilities. “Gasoline cutbacks at the University should reach the desired state level,” said Mr. Foils. “But, if necessary, gasoline consumption could ultimately be limited to service vehicles such as snowplows.” The use of state cars has presently been limited to local transportation, and deliveries using state vehicles have been curtailed where feasible. Furthermore, state vehicles are being limited to a maximum of 10 gallons when receiving gas at University pumps. ft*. >c< ..<• Storage space needed Another problem, Mr. Folts emphasized, is that Unive. facilities can only store 500 tons of coal at one time; during peak usage, this amount could be used up in one day. A search is currently under way to find adequate facilities to store coal to insure its availability when needed. The current shortage of natural gas and oil has also prevented the planned conversion of heating facilities on the Main Street campus from coal to gas. “Success depends on all who use the campus,” Mr. Folts emphasized, adding that the measures taken so far have been “well-supported by everyone.” A reduction in campus consumption of heat and electricity by 10 to 15 per cent has bden achieved through voluntary efforts. Students could curtail their usage of electricity by turning out unnecessary lighting when rooms are left or not in use. Electricity for the campus is supplied by the Northeastern power pool, which serves much ofKew England and New York State. In times of heavier demand from other areas, such as New York City, the University is sometimes requested by Niagara Mohawk Power Corporation to reduce its electrical use even further. , Glass buildings undesirable Long-range planning for the efficient use of energy by the University is the concern of John Telfer, vice president for Facilities Planning. When constructing new buildings, Mr. Telfer explained, certain heating priorities must now be considered. Glass lets heat escape in the winter and lets it in during the summer; a building with a lot of glass is thuse not very energy-efficient and requires a heavier heating and air-conditioning load. When it was planned over “five years ago, the Amherst Campus was originally designed as an all-electric campus, since the electric supply 'er, due to tern power Amherst lained.

WASHINGTON (LNS) Secondly, however, the U.S., government allows oil recently obtained by columnist Jack Anderson, a giant the Saudi Arabian companies to deduct as a tax write-off dollar for dollar U.S. oil combine encouraged any money paid to foreign countries in royalties or on oil. This move prices to increase crude government ensured greater profits for both the oil companies and the taxes. According to Anderson, the cost of production for a Saudi Arabian government at the expense of consumers - - - — around the world, claims Mr. Anderson. Based on the papers supplied him, Mr. Anderson has charged that the Arabian-American Oil Company (ARAM-CO), fearing nationalization of their Saudi operations, continually pushed for price increases throughout the year, “to squeeze out more profits before the takeover.” In 1973 the cost of crude oil shot up 470%. ARAMCO is a consortium of four U.S. corporations Exxon, Mobil, Standard of California, and Texaco, plus the Saudi Arabian government, which produces about 90% of the oil taken from Saudi Arabia. Presently it is the world’s third largest producer of petroleum, the largest Middle East oil producer and the largest exporter, surpassing in recent years both Venezuela and Iran. — Price agitation According to information Anderson claims to have received from “sources inside ARAMCO who have access to its most secret files,” the giant combine began early last year “agitating for higher prices.” Through a tax loophole designed to encourage U.S. oil companies to operate in foreign countries, ARAMCO benefits in two ways from the price increase. First: the 42 gallon barrel of crude oil is about 12 cents. In contrast, the posted price hit an all-time high of $11.65 a barrel on January 1, 1974. This price, besides representing a mark-up of allmost 100 times the actual cost, is also fictitious, claims Anderson. The actual price of a barrel of crude upon arriving in the U.S. is now closer to $9. But it is the posted $11.65 price that is used when computing royalties, and eventually tax write-offs, the documents reveal. Anderson reports that “the confidential tables also indicate that ARAMCO gets a pay-back from Saudi Arabia for its technical help in developing new industries, such as salt production.” Though the information is not totally clear, Anderson says that “it appears that the proportion of the pay-back increases as the price of oil goes up.” The documents reveal that ARAMCO is changing its method of operating in Saudi Arabia because of the increasing threat of nationalization. “Because the Saudis are expected to take over the oil at the wellhead,” says Anderson, “the company is preparing to take its profits from refining and marketing. In the past it has been the other way around.” The initial results of this change?

The "254" section of the course will consist of an initially conceptual orientation to the growth and transformation of higher education coupled with an intensive group investigation of the present state of American higher education. The first phase of this section involves establishing a learning environment in wich the participants are encouraged to share personal values, attitudes, and experiences brought with them to the classroom as well as opinions and criticisms of commonly read materials and case studies. The second phase involves individual learning contracting agreements via negotiation between the instructors and participant.

The “255" section is intended to allow the more highly motivated, knowledgeable or participant, to conceptualize, refine and execute research based on his personal interests in higher education or those shared with others acting as a research team. The commitment, scope, end-product and are negotiable in this section. Evaluation in HED 254-5 will consist of 3-4 progress evaluation sessions and a wrap-up session at which the instructor and participant will arrive at a consensus regarding the latter's progress as measured against the pre-arranged learning agreements.

I To the Editor: Last Friday was an interesting day, for me at least. I entered rny Psychology 101 classroom expecting approximately 50 minutes of reasonably intelligent lecture. Upon arriving, however, a group of people were there distributing a “newspaper” claiming that the CIA was infiltrating or at least manipulating Psychology Departments, nationwide, into becoming population control centers and through these centers, obtain their ultimate desire of cornplete domination. After circulation of the leaflets, a spokesman for the group, name unannounced (because of paranoia?) and unknown, began speaking, over the of Dr. protests Barnette, the instructor. Approximately four to five minutes elapsed during which the speaker made his points and the class assumed he would leave and normal instruction would resume. This was far from the case, however, as the speaker continued on at great length about this “serious threat” to cur social well-being, neglecting to mention his sources of information and attempting to rouse the class to action .on his and his paper’s words alone. Dr. Barnette’s ultimate disposition of the problem, after calling Campus Security and repeatedly asking the speaker to leave, was to dismiss the class, the only solution to a situation which by then had deteriorated into a yelling match. If such a CIA plot does exist, and I do not deny the possibility in view of today’s political situation, I for one, don’t need a screaming fanatic, to tefl me about it. I am more than capable of discovering it on my own. One of the major points I’m sure the speaker is opposed tq is the use of captive audiences in college psychological studies. Yet was not his technique the same? Commandeering a classroom of 206-300 students who had to sit and listen, solely because they assumed that a regular class would follow, sounds like just that type of action. To the speaker: If your point is so valid and you are as dedicated to it as you would have us believe, speak openly in public and CIA view so that those interested may listen, and those that reject your hypothesis are not forced to against their will. Using the methods you did last Friday afternoon immediately alienated 90-95 per cent of the class and the 5-10 per cent that might have listened, would probably attend an open forum, IF you’ve got the courage of your convictions enough to present one. If you do not, kindly stay out of any classrooms and allow the poor, deluded psychology students the opportunity of discovering this plot for themselves, as you undoubtedly had to do.

The 1974 New York State race is out because incumbent Jacob Javits is too hard to beat, has political convictions reasonably close to Mr. CoseU’s own and is a fellow N.Y.U. alumnus. So the first opportunity will be the 1976 race, I don’t think it’s a bad idea at all: Senator Howard Cosell, D.—N.Y. Why not? He was a lawyer before he went into sports broadcasting, specializing in labor law. He also claims a fair knowledge of constitutional law and the Pentagon. And in this age of political obfuscation, Mr. Cosell’s directness would be more than merely refreshing. But the question of his merits is only secondary. Cosell in the Senate would he fun. Imagine him on the Senate Watergate Committee. As it was, that committee had every Senator with television appeal but (for obvious reasons) Ted Kennedy. With Cosell, possibly to replace the uncharismatic Joseph Montoya, it would have been a television tour de force. Sen. Cosell: (Since everyone in the world does a Howard Cosell impression, albeit badly, I suggest you read these passages aloud) Mr. Mitchell, witnesses have testified before this committee that you personally approved the break-in at the Democratic headquarters in the Watergate Hotel, that you, the highest law enforcement official in the nation at that point in time, having sworn to uphold the law and the Constitution of the United States, did knowingly and deliberately direct a man in the employ of the White House to commit a criminal act of sportscaster Conspiracy charged To the Editor: An Emergency National Commission of Inquiry has been rapidly forming in order to protect internationally significant evidence regarding the security and integrity of the United States Government and Constitution. This evidence has been uncovered by a special deprogramming team under the supervision of Mr. Lyn Marcus. Mr. Chris White, a leading member of the International Caucus of Labor Committees (ICLC) was brainwashed, tortured and programmed by British Intelligence MIS for the CIA in order to assassinate L. Marcus and other leading members of the ICLC. The successful deprogramming of Mr. White and discovery of other brainwashed victims has placed in the possession of the National Caucus of Labor Committees (NCLC) direct and overwhelming evidence implicating the CIA and NYC police in a direct attack against the national interest. It has been determined that the British Govemrilerit, on reviving information that - Mr. was deprogrammed, would issue an order for the activation of a random squad to accompish the assassination of Lyn Marcus, Mr. Chris White, and Mrs. Carol White. According to Mr. White’s program, the test British Intelligence would use to determine if Mr. White had been deprogrammed would be a message he would be incapable of recalling until brought out of the programmed state. Detective Finnegan of the New York Police Red Squad was specifically identified by British Intelligence as the officer in charge of the random assassination squad. There is irrefutable documentation that the CIA intends through assassination and other means to destroy the principles, in this case of international espionage, who, constitute irreplaceable evidence in the national interest. The Emergency National Commission of Inquiry is demanding that the evidence in possession of the NCLC be protected and submitted to the examination of competent press, legal and psychiatric experts. If L. Marvus, Chris White, Carol White or any other of the principles involved are legally or illegally arrested, abducted or murdered in the coming hours and days everyone will know that the sole purpose of this would be to keep this crucial evidence from public scrutiny and investigation. There is no free press willing to cover and investigate these events. The magnitude of the national news blackout of these world-shattering events could only have been organized by the CIA. We have, in fact, been informed by members of the press in Boston that known CIA operative Andrew espionage against a legitimate political party exercising its right to engage in the political process. You yourself have testified that you took it upon yourself to decide what the President of the United States should or should not know, that you arrogated unto yourself the power of the President to make decisions by allowing yourself to be the judge of what knowledge he would have on which to base his policies. You are, therefore, an accessory to a crime a terrible' crime that strikes at the very roots of free government and consitutional order - s-M which makes you a criminal yourself. Have you Mr. Mitchell? What have you to say for no shame, yourself? Even John Mitchell couldn’t have stood up under his nasal, grating voice and probing interrogation. Ramsey Clark ooking In It is an unfortunate feature of our Constitution that impeachment proceedings must begin in the House of Representatives because that deprives us of the opportunity of seeing Senator Cosell in action there. In some small consolation, though, the Senate dops get to approve Presidential appointments. Senator Cosell at the confirmation hearings of Gerald Ford: Sen. Cosell; Mr. Ford, people say you are a decent man, a hard-working, honest family man who has raised three fine sons and a daughter. No one in this Congress lacks confidence in your personal probity. But they also say that you’re a lightweight, that you have no grasp of foreign policy, that you have no sense of America’s pressing domestic needs, that President Nixon is choosing you as impeachment insurance, that a Ford administration, if the necessity should ever arise, would be in face a Kissinger-SchleisingerShultz administration, that you could not escape being dominated by these three heavyweights the Muhammad Ali, George Foreman and Joe that you cannot even Frazier of the Cabinet walk and chew gum at the same time. In view of all this, why should this body confirm you as Vice President and put you a heartbeat or an impeachment and conviction away from the Presidency? America is waiting to hear it, Mr. Ford. What will you tell them? And for the rest of you sports fans, it’s another open secret that New York Knicks forward Bill Bradley has political ambitions. The rumors about his knees may or may not be true but it is likely that his basketball career will not last past 1976 no matter what the state of his health. If the Knicks win the NBA title in 1975 (without Willis Reed or Earl Monroe they may have trouble getting past Boston, let alone Jabbar and Co., so this year is out) he can retire from basketball and run for Congress in his district the following year. He’s a Democrat along with most of his district and is very likely to win, especially coming from a championship team. With Howard Cosell in the Senate and Bill Bradley in the House (he’s young and can move up to a Senate seat later) it’ll be a great one-two punch for New York State. Sports fans, and.New — — York is loaded with them, will love it. Hearings will be televised more often (maybe ABC could exclusive get broadcast rights on the impeachment proceedings?), people might even take an interest in government. At least everyone will know who his or her senator is. And now back to Jim McKay. for Senator To the Editor. Former Attorney General Ramsey Clark is in the process of organizing a campaign for the United States Senate, and we are looking for students who are interested in working for Clark’s nomination and election. Clark is going to run an innovative campaign, concentrating on issues instead of following the usual hand-shaking, soap-selling type of procedure. There will be no 30 or 60 second media “spots;” all television and radio time will be of greater length in order to enable Clark to discuss issues. Also, no contributor will be permitted to give more than $100 to the campaign, because Clark believes that a campaign should be funded by large numbers of small contributors, rather than a small group of large contributors. A candidate should be able to get elected without having to pay homage , to wealth. The campaign will therefore be funded by small contributions, which will be solicited by volunteers. There are but a few of the important differences between this campaign and more conventional ones. Clark’s record of honesty, and his advocacy of civil liberties, civil rights, and peace will also be emphasized. We intend to stress that Ramsey Clark is a man of integrity, whose record shows that he has been in the forefront of the fight for freedom and justice for all in America. Any students interested in working in the campaign should please notify: Jim Grossman, 804 East State St., Ithaca, New York 14850.

There is no justice. There is only the CIA conspiring to tamper with and destroy this evidence. Since these basic institutions either are in complicity with the CIA or else have failed to defend the national interest in the face of this CIA insurrection against the Constitution. There is nothing but the growth of the rapid Emergency National Commission to protect and investigate this evidence. The Commission is being formed of independent individuals of character and integrity.

Page five �studb arena theatre by Jay Boyar Spectrum Arts Editor Who writes theater ads, anyway? That Championship Season, a play by Jason Miller, has a doozy: "The electrifying tragi-comedy about the reunion of an aging basketball coach Socko. and his state championship team. Actually, if they had foregone the salient “electrifying,” the blurb would have pretty much established the play’s premise. Briefly, it’s the story of a high school basketball team and its coach who gave their provincial Pennsylvania town something to brag about: a championship season. The play is set 20 years after the championship as the team members now middle-aged men meet for one of their frequent reunions. That Championship Season is currently running on Broadway; by special arrangement the play with a different case, of course - is being presented as Studio Arena Theater’s also January offering. Program notes proclaim: “It has won all the top awards including the Mew York Drama Critics’ Award for the best play, the Outer Circle Critics’ Award, the Tony Award and the Pulitzer Prize. Gosh. ” - — — ” well-fashioned personalities in this play insure its structural effectiveness by forcing us to care about what them. Miller happens to accomplishes a juggler’s trick in tossing around five characters simultaneously. By rounding out the spirit of each one in concise terms (concise, not constricting), he forces us to remember each of them as a distinct entity. The characters are slightly larger than life, but still life-like; their roots are in life. Miller wrote a play with life intensified and honed to two hours. Perhaps he developed his ability to think with acuity vis-a-vis characters through his own experience as an actor. (Incidently, he a film has a feature role in The Exorcist slated for February at the Holiday theater — complex.) ■' !k Wherever he grasped this skill, Jason Miller is able to neatly define the entire cast: (1) a pugnacious, fatherly coach; (2) a drunk named Tom Daley; (3) Tom’s toady brother, James; (4) a mayor named George Sikowski; and (5) Phil Romano, a rich Italian. With the addition a ghost named Martin (whom we never see), they comprise the championship team. of Deja vu In spite of his achievements, nobody should seriously suggest that Jason Miller has done very much to further “theater” as an art-form. More than anything else, his play is an atavism; a throw-back to I’m afraid the similarity in names might be troublesome Arthur Miller. A couple of years back, Studio Arena diabolically plotted to keep you interested in presented Arthur Miller’s The Price. The something constantly. It begins with the suggestion of an revelation of a man in Depression perdition is at automobile mishap (a red herring) and while we the center of both plays, as are the themes of wonder about this, Miller slips in the exposition “sacrifice, family,” and “the price.” That explaining that a reunion is occuring. The structure I was discussing is also Arthur “reunion” business keeps us busy while Miller-esque. Just because he was influenced by Arthur is information about a political campaign is smuggled into the dialogue. Then, while we no reason to fault Jason; everyone is influenced that That But understand personal by someone. campaign, wonder about the information about the characters is sneaked by. Championship Season is a belated continuation When those personal conflicts finally surface to of a discarded tradition it is a nice, little play dazzle us, the conclusion a discussion about in isolation. If he were alive, this is much the pops up like a sort of play Arthur Miller might pen today. thht championship season It has been suggested that all great literary rabbit from a topper. It is not at all confusing; it is surprising. We are painlessly given works have, at their heart, the family unit. rather the information we need to enjoy the play While this view may be extreme (think of Moby While good characters are not the sole Dick), it seems essentially valid. Certainly for the theater, remarkably Arthur Miller’s plays were built around family requisite On the ball After hearing an assentation like that one, it’s not surprising to find that the play does have a point or two to recommend it. Structurally, it is well-conceived and almost — — - - — — - groupings. In That Championship Season the men have had no real fathers, no families. Phil Romano had a father who worked so hard at “da BIZness” that they never knew each other. Tom and James Daley had a father who was so pitifully cripped that James had to “wipe his ass” for him. George Sikowski’s father is never mentioned even this is suspect and from the state of his own family (his wife swings pretty good), it’s not hard to guess. The coach’s father was a victim of the Depression a sad figure whose memory conjures for the coach the Gethsemane of the old man throwing his teeth across the room in abject despair. The Coach is so completely , — — severed from any suggestion of his family; that he actually has no name. Just “Coach/’ Their clan-less past is reflected in their inability to form sound family ties in the present. The Coach has none, Tom has none, George’s wife runs around, James’ son calls him mediocre, and Phil’s wife flies around the world having one affair after another. In fact, the only family they have ever had is their basketball team. Since that is not a real family, each of them is unfulfilled, and since none of them has much else, they can’t break away from it. Kosher candidate As a part of the plot, George (the Mayor) asks and receives help in his campaign from his fellow “orphaned” ex-basketballers. The man whom George must beat in his mayorial bid is a Jew and they talk about this in Archie Bunker-esque terms. Through history, Jews Irave been forced to symbolize some pretty awful qualities, but one of the nicer values they have always represented is tradition, family. Fiddler On the Roof makes this abundantly clear if nothing else does to the mass - - . The Spectrum . Wednesday, 23 January 1974 — audience. Fitting: the man whom the “orphans” must conquer represents “family.” In fact, the way they propose to beat him is through his own family. The basketballers intend to inform the narrow town that the Jew’s uncle was a Communist. The orphans care about their pseudo-family team, with the Coach as a surrogate father. Early in the play he says: “We were one flesh 20 years ago. Never forget that. Never. Never!” by Jason Miller Page six — �Only when they were on that team during that Championship season did they feel a part of something. Since the Jew embodies what they aspire to (a link with the past), they hate Jews. The team may feel like a family, but they must finally admit it is a contrived and unnatural relationship. There is a father figure, but no common mother in whose womb they grew. Since they were a winning team, their victory and their town’s acclaim gave an absurd objective validity to their basketball family. Winning was only important in reassuring them of their artificial family’s validity. “actor’s play,” and so it’s up to the actors to bring to the stage the sense of family the script exudes. For instance, in a scene near the end of the play, James, short-changed by his fellows, is about to betray them. The Coach “commands” him not to, and he ceases. “Why did James stop?” a friend of mine asked. It was a good question. Why should an ex-basketballer follow orders from his old coach after 20 years? But, if we had been shown that it was not so much a basketball team as a close family, then the question would not have been raised. It is easy to see why a man with nothing else would not betray his family, especially if his father I happened to hear a group of “television forbade it. Sometimes the critics and the Buff&lo artists" discussing the play one day on The audience agreed in bestowing their kudos for Mike Douglas Show.

Neither of the big papers show any evidence of understanding the play’s theme. In the Buffalo Evening News, Terry Doran is mired in criticizing the play for its lack of “realism.” "It is entertaining enough, I’m sure. But it isn’t at all revealing," he says. He condemns its failure to tell us a whole lot about Pennsylvanian reunions of 1954 basketball teams. It doesn’t need to; its focus is larger, more universal. To paraphrase Pauline Kael of the New Yorker writing on another occasion, it’s a little like saying that Laurence Olivier, in The Entertainer, was no Tony Bennett. Roberta Plutzik the (of Buffalo Courier-Express ) describes the people in the play merely as men recovering the facade of an old insubstantial victory” without caring much to think about why they are that way. Courier Focus Editor Doug Smith is at least honest in his obfuscation: ‘‘The question nags, why is this play so acclaimed?" He just can’t figure it out. Still, it’s annoying when he, in another article, wallows in a new, perverted of Puritanism. He is apparently kind incredulous that “locker room” language could help to make a good story better. His point is just so trivial. “ Out of bounds Maybe one reason the critics were lost is that the director and the actors didn’t move the play far enough in the direction it should go. Roberta Plutzik is right when she calls it an Arena’s Taming of the Shrew last year), cannot convince us he is weak. He appears too sturdy, too self-assured in spite of all his whining. In the play James needs false teeth. It is as hard to believe that Greene (playing James) needs false teeth as it is to accept that Clark Kent needs his glasses. Greene simply is not competent enough to convince us he Is an , incompetent. * * • • • Jason Miller’s updating a bad word, but there does not seem to be a better one of Arthur Miller’s style takes two forms. The first is that obvious freer use of rough language. The second change isn’t so obvious. While Arthur was concerned with the crumbling family unit, he was able to present the notion with characters who were members of crumbling families. The very fact that Jason has discarded the family in favor of a basketball team is a comment on modem society. Nowadays, with the specter of overpopulation, the convenience of birth control methods, and the increasing acceptance of abortions, families are getting smaller. With greater travel opportunities, the keen emphasis on education (“going away to school”), and the large number of working mothers, the family as the center of one’s life has taken a beating. Peer groups with or without some “older” figure in charge have taken over part of the family’s role. Since the arts reflect the world, I like to think that if The Brothers Karamazov were of character. written today, they would not be brothers, Tom, the drunk, and Phil, the rich Italian, rather friends. Godard’s films often get at this are the “semi-independents.” A sane man in feeling of peer-families. Bedlam either goes crazy, commits suicide, or escapes through liquor.

His recognition of suicide as a possible alternative to his team gives him a rather bizarre partial freedom. Jess treats families seriously. That Championship Season does not do away with real families altogether. Tom and Osuma, as Phil, is very good; he has fully James are, after all, brothers. But when, in conceived his role and has been able to work speaking to other characters, Tom calls James out the character’s complex inner life. Also, “Brother James,” it momentarily lulls us into a like Hayes, he is just plain entertaining to subconscious feeling that all the players not watch. are brothers. By leaving this just the Daleys David Ford (the Coach) and James O’Reilly trace of a family in his new pseudo-family, (George the Mayor) do not fare well at all. Jason Miller is able to use the jargon of a family They are totally dependent upon the team without drawing attention to his motives of spirit that never gets created. When the two of creating a neo-family. them dance around the stage together early in Since the play retains some shred of a real the play, it is embarassing. Nothing in their family among its characters (that a book like performance indicates that they feel Brave New World almost completely sufficiently good about each other to want to obliterates), it is more transition than dance together. When they are brought to tears revolutionary. But in daring to make a in the third act, their acting only gives us transition, it is almost revolutionary.

It was the Baby Bulls first victory in six games this season. The victory avenged an earlier 69-68 loss to the Cardinals. In that December 14 game, the Bulls led most of the way. In the last nine seconds, Buffalo had several shots at the winning basket, including a lay-up by John Ruffino, but none dropped through. Friday night, Buffalo dominated the contest, opening up a 17 point lead at one time. The Cardinals, led by K.J. Hamill (32 points) fought back, switching to a full-court press. Bulls coach John Hill commented: “It [the full-court press] hurt us because we didn’t look up the floor when we were bringing the ball up. We tried to dribble through a double-team instead of hitting the open man.” The Cardinals were down by only five points with about three and one half minutes remaining, but came no closer. The Baby Bulls were led by guard Gene Henderson and forward Jim Peterson. Both had been sent down by the varsity to obtain more playing time. Henderson contributed 2S points and seven assists, while Peterson had 24 rebounds, high for a Baby Bull in one game this season, and 17 points. Cardinal coach Steve Fitzgerald remarked: ‘That number SO [Peterson] is a good ballplayer.” Fitzgerald added: ‘That’s been our \trouble all year when we play against teams with more height than we have. We’ve been getting out-rebounded by twenty rebounds a game. Hill also praised Peterson: “He helped quite a bit. We needed another rcbounder.” Buffalo’s 86 points represented their season high. “I thought we worked the ball really well on offense,” said Hill. “We took only two bad shots in the first half.” However, Hill indicated that the team’s defense needed some work.

Ruben Spectrum Staff Writer Buffalo’s fencing team extended its winning streak to five matches with victories over Oberlin and Case Western Reserve, 23-4 and 16-11 last weekend in Ohio. The wins give the Bulls a 5-1 record this season. Friday night Buffalo swept past the Huns in a mere 75 minutes, dropping only four bouts along the way. The Bulls won all three events, scoring 8-1 decisions in foil and epee and posting a 7-2 advantage in sabre. It marked the fourth loss of the year for Oberlin, which has yet to win. 3-0 performances by Tom Giblin in foil and Marty Schiff in epee led the Bull assault, and freshman Larry Siegel added an upset win in his first varsity bout as he tripped up John Lucas, Oberlin’s top fencer. k HBHiain .. -i v?| McAllister Hull Grads... or ‘recurrent” “intermittent” learners.

Mr. Cook, a graduate student who served on that committee, dissented from the majority in a separate minority The minority report. report was fully endorsed by the Collegiate Assembly last Thursday, and will be introduced as an alternative to the majority Oeport at tomorrow’s Under those guidelines, all the current Colleges will be required to win approval before a faculty-dominated Colleges must be approved by a faculty-dominated group by Gary Cohn “chartering committee” by January I, 1975. Instead of the predominantly faculty composition of the Charter Committee proposed by the majority, Mr. Cook’s minority report suggested “a joint committee comprised of the Colleges Dean, the Faculty-Senate Committee on the Colleges, and a standing committee of the College Council.” The College Council is the body proposed to replace the Collegiate Assembly.

Those Colleges failing to win approval will cease to exist. That proposal is the central point in the majority report of Jonathan Reichert’s Colleges Committee. The report also recommended: prior approval by the Division of Undergraduate Studies (DUS) for every new College course; increased faculty involvement in the Colleges; a long-range financial committrrient by. the Administration to assure the funding of adequate planning and development; a “Pass/No Credit” grading option; increased authority for the new Dean of the Colleges (formerly Director); a workshop program to develop new Colleges; and increased communication between the Colleges, the faculty and the Administration. The report will be considered at tomorrow’s meeting of the Faculty-Senate. Destruction feared Roger Cook, graduate student on the Colleges Committee who dissented in a minority report, fears the majority report “will be used to destroy the present Colleges.” Mr, Cook opposed the proposed faculty-dominated makeup of the chartering committee because it contains no representatives from the Collegiate Assembly, as recommended by tire--External Evaluation. He also objected to the proposed DUS sanction of experimental courses and to several of the proposed governance procedures. The proposed chartering process for establishing the new Colleges is a difficult one. The Reichert Committee cited the view expressed by the external evaluating team: “The easier it is to establish a College, the more evaluation and scrutiny will be necessary to sustain it. The harder it is to establish, the more autonomy it will enjoy once established.” President Robert Ketter is expected to announce the appointment of Irving J. Spitzberg, Jr. as Dean of the Colleges within the near future. Dr. Spitzberger, 32, a graduate of Columbia University and Yale Law School, is presently serving as a Fellow at the Institute of Current World Affairs. this elimination of experimental courses would curtail the more innovative aspects of the Colleges. Dr. Reichert denied this charge: “In the past year, not one course has failed to be approved by DUS.” Because the so-called abuses of the Colleges have been identified with the experimental courses, Dr. Reichert explained, placing course approval in the hands of DUS will help to “legitimize” the process. Should DUS fail to approve a substantial number of innovative courses, the Faculty-Senate could change the course approval process at a later date. “The new process is better politically for the legitimacy of the Colleges at this point in its history,” Dr. Reichert concluded. In the chartering process, each proposal for College status would be expected to include: the intellectual purpose of the proposed College; the educational style of the College; course descriptions; and a list of College personnel, including, but not necessarily limited to, the participating faculty. Also required will be a statement of how other participating faculty will be chosen; a resume of thq proposed administrative officer or master; evidence of substantial faculty participation in the College; governance procedures and membership requirements; an evaluation procedure for courses and instructors; a statement of budget processes and fiscal controls; and finally, a specification of the ‘Legitimacy’ sought The rigorous nature of the chartering process will increase the “legitimacy” of the Colleges, Dr. Reichert claimed. Under the proposed guidelines, all current Colleges will be granted continuing status until January 1975. During this time, each of the present Colleges must apply for “official status.” Charters for any College will first be submitted to the Colleges’ dean and the College Council, a new body to replace the Collegiate Assembly, for their advice and suggestions. Within one month, the Dean will submit the proposal to the chartering committee. The chartering committee will then recommend that the charter be adopted, rejected or modified. The charter would then be submitted to the vice-preSident for Academic Affairs, the Dean of the Colleges and the Dean of the Division of Undergraduate Studies (DUS) for their independent recommendations to the President. Roger Cook Copies of the report on the colleges by the Faculty-Senate Colleges Committee will be available to students and other interested persons in the Student Association office. Room 205 Norton Hall, as of today. Dr. Jonathan Reichert, chairman of the Colleges Committee, strongly urges all students to read the report, which calls for a sweeping revision of the existing College system. Santos Collegiate Assembly excluded The proposed chartering committee would include six faculty, three students and one member of the Academic Affairs Council. “The primary responsibility for initiating and dissolving academic program rests with the faculty,” explained Dr. Reichert. Representatives from the Collegiate Assembly would not be included on the original chartering committee. Dr. Reichert added, because of.the conflict of interest in having College reps voting oh their own initiation, the “defensiveness” of College personnel and the “clique” among members of the Collegiate Assembly. Every new College course must be approved by DUS, according to the majority report. Previously, many experimental courses had a one-semester trial period. After the one-semester trial, the course would undergo evaluation by DUS. Many College members have expressed fears that Santos Jonathan Reichert To promote increased faculty involvement in the Colleges, the report recommended that the Colleges receive funds to compensate regular University faculty by “purchasing released time from their departmental responsibilities.” The report also recommended that the Administration “recognize, reward and value teaching excellence when it is demonstrated in the Colleges.” For instance: “Department chairmen should solicit recommendations on promotion, tenure and merit increases . . . and the Dean should have a generous allocation with which to reward -continued on page 2— �•') The validity of experimental courses is. a major point of contention between the minority semester report, which urges retaining a one trial option, and the majority report, which argues for prior DUS approval for all new courses. The following is a list of courses which began as experimental College courses and were then approved by DUS after their initial trial run.

The suit is in response to the continued failure of some faculty members to submit grades before the January 4 deadline and because this University “has the most ridiculous late grade policy in the country,” according SA President Jon Dandes. A recent SA telephone survey revealed that the State University of Buffalo has the least stringent grade deadlines of all the schools polled, including the other state universities. Grades here are due within 14 calendar days of the semester’s end. At the University ofMinnesota at Minneapolis, the largest institution in the country, grades are due 72 hours after the instructor’s finals. Within SUNY, the deadline at the State University at Albany is 48 hours after finals, and 72 hours at Stony Brook and Binghamton Fair warning Since July 3, SA has sent eight letters to provosts,' department chairmen and deans informing them of the seriousness of the late grade problem. Mr. Dandes informed the Faculty-Senate on December 4 that legal action would be taken if all grades were not in on time. A November 1973 memorandum from Charles Ebert, dean of the Division of Undergraduate Studies (DUS), to department chairmen, deans and provosts, requested that final grades be submitted “as early as possible” but no later than the January 4 deadline. “The issue of late grades is taken very seriously, and rightfully so, by the student body in general and by the present student government in particular. I urge all faculty members to cooperate with this necessary and reasonable policy on submitting final grades to avoid embarrassment and possibly grievance cases,” the memorandum stated. There were 3000 late grades this semester covering 130-course sections, said Mr. Dandes. “The English and Political Science Departments, along with all the Colleges, had worst record of late gradeSj he said , Th e English Department had the greatest number of late grades with 31 separate sections failing to meet the deadline, according to ' » “I’m rather disappointed and surprised,” said English Department Chairman Joseph I. Fradin. Dr. Fradin was under the impression that his department had done rather well this semester. He said his administrative assistant reported to him that all the grades were in and a few may have been submitted late. Along with the class action suits being filed, SA is aiding students who are working through the University grievance procedures. One student filing a grievance could not register for law school because a faculty member, who is also a department chairman, had not registered his grades. SA will ask the Office of Admissions and Records for the names of the guilty instructors, and is confident it will comply. However, assistant director of Admissions and Records James C. Schwender claimed Mr. Dandes already had the names in his possession when they met Friday morning. The names were not obtained from Admissions and Records, he stated. kOO)A*t*V Mr. Dandes met Friday with Ron Stein, associate director of Student Affairs, to discuss the initiation of the suits. SA Attorney Richard Lippus is already preparing legal briefs, Mr. Dandes reported. “We wanted to make sure that we were not being capricious. We’ve reached a point where we have to take very decisive and very strong action,” the SA President added.

The first phase of this section involves establishing a learning environment in wich the participants are encouraged to share personal values, attitudes, and experiences brought with them to the classroom as well as opinions and criticisms of commonly read materials and case studies. The second phase involves contracting individual learning agreements via negotiation between the instructors and participant. The agreements delineate an will investigative, instructive, or competency based project, or projects, negotiated by the participants, (an additional section of "254" is offered Mon. evenings through Millard Fillmore College.) The "255" section is intended to allow the more highly motivated, knowledgeable or participant, to conceptualize, refine and execute research based on his personal interests in higher education or those shared with others acting as a research team. The commitment, scope, and end-product are negotiable in this section. Evaluation in HED 254-5 will consist of 3-4 progress evaluation sessions and a wrap-up session at which the instructor and participant will arrive at a consensus regarding the latter's progress as measured against the pre-arranged learning agreements.

Program prepared forreform of State government con, as well, as short summaries of each H by Marc Jacobson City Editor Terming the response to the Watergate scandals and its “local equivalents” as “long on indignation but short on constructive action,” Donald Ross, director of the New York Public Interest Research Group (NYPIRG), has issued a comprehensive political reform packet. The packet, prepared by NYPIRG staff attorney Nancy Kramer, analyzes the obstacles to serious citizen participation in New York State governmental affairs, and recommends a number of appropriate, specific and concrete legislative remedies. Consisting of four major categories and seven specific proposals, the packet has been sent to every state legislator. The major categories are Disclosure; Money, Influence and Responsibility; Public Education; and Enforcement. The lobbying arm of NYPIRG, the New York Citizen Lobby (NYCL) is prepared to actively mobilize New Yorkers who feel the need for such reform. They intend to use their citizen sympathizers as well as those legislators who support the packet’s ideas to convince others that “it is essential for their survival that they support this legislation.” candidate’s background and qualifications, coupled with statements from the candidates. The final portion of the packet concerns enforcement. To solve the problem of enforcement, it advocates establishing a “Political Practices Commission,” independent of any governmental agency, to respond to complaints generated by violations of the other sections of the packet. At present, NYPIRG feels that “existing laws are frequently rendered meaningless because of inadequate enforcement provisions.” (' Timing is critical NYPIRG is enthusiastic about the program and its chances for success. “We have no individual sponsors'as yet for the packet,” said Ms. Kramer. “However, we are seeking sponsorship from the leadership or a coalition group, not one particular legislator.” Ms. Kramer pointed to the simplicity of having resolutions introduced into the legislature, noting that over 15,000 bills had been introduced last term alone. “Getting a bill introduced is no problem; the problem is getting the bill considered on its merit. The most important facets of a successful reform packet would be introduction by the right people, and at the right time,” she continued. “The chances for passage are unknown at this time,” Openness is the key said. “Unfortunately, we have no one in Ms. Kramer At the present time, NYCL is not fully organized. the legislature.

Friday as the first local effort in" an international campaign aimed at “exposing behavioral psychology as quackery” and stopping an alleged Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) brainwashing drive they claim is to precede a CIA-directed military coup in the United States. Two men carrying literature entered Dr. Barnette’s Psychology class a few minutes after he had begun his lecture, loudly denouncing Psychology Departments throughout the country and claiming they were controlled by the CIA. The two men, who burst in on the class without Dr. Barnette’s permission, were joined by four or five others. Spokesmen for the Labor Committee placed the total number of demonstrators at seven. The purpose of the demonstration was to attack psychosurgeons, Skinnerian psychologists and behavioralists by “making it impossible to conduct their classes,” according to Labor Committee representatives. Students angered i Dr. Barnette asked the demonstrators to leave, but they refused. Labor Committee spokesmen termed the reaction of the approximately 300 students in the class “extremely irrational and extremely parochial.” The students overwhelmingly demanded that the disrupters leave. The students were “irate,” said Dr. Barnette. When the demonstrators refused to leave, Dr. Barnette called Campus Security and dismissed the class. A handful of plainclothed Campus Security officers arrived at the scene and several uniformed officers follower! shortly thereafter. The disrupters were warned that any further such incidents would result in their arrest for illegal trespass. The Labor Committee intends to continue and escalate their planned disruptions of classes. While they refused to release the names of potential targets for disruption, informed observers expect that Psychology professor Edgar Vinacke and Philosophy' professor and editor of The Humanist magazine Paul Kurtz might expect their classes to be disrupted. Law will prevail Regarding the Labor Committee’s plans, Campus Security Director Patrick Glennon said: “If they continue these disruptions, the law will take effect.” Involved students will be dealt with under Board of Trustees regulations and non-students will immediately be arrested and charged with criminal trespass. Dr. Barnette plans to use the democratic process to handle any further disruptions. He will ask the students to vote as to whether they want the Labor Committee representatives to address the class. • The disruptions are part of an international effort known as “Operation Nuremberg.” Labor Committee spokesmen claifVi to have proof that the CIA is carrying out a worldwide operation for a military takeover of the United States and Europe within the year. This effort, “Operation Orpheus,” supposedly involves widespread brainwashing of Americans and Europeans and assassinations of Labor Committee members. The plot revealed The attack centers on psychologists like Nathan Klein and B.F. Skinner who have developed the behavior modification tools needed for the massive brainwashing that will precede the CIA’s alleged military coup. The current energy crisis is an example of massive brainwashing, said members of the Labor Committee. Government officials are trying to convince people to “degrade themselves” and compete for gasoline and heating oil when they know perfectly well that there is plenty of fuel to go around, according to the Labor Committee. The committee also alleges that former Gov. Nelson Rockefeller and his Commission for Critical Choices is working with the CIA to plan this international coup. They claim the issue is a choice between behavior modification and . “a of mind based on human creativity.” The Labor Committee reports it has evidence to prove the truth of these accusations. However, the evidence is not forthcoming. In the meantime, they intend “to intervene in any class which is teaching behavioral modification.” Since behavioral modification constitutes a large part of modern psychology, potential targets for disruption at the University are numerous. The next few days may see at least a few classes broken up. science HE “WELCOME STU FOLLOWING COURSES ARE STILL OPEN STUDENT CENTER FOR RSP 205 148336- Chassidic Philosophy (Gurary) Monday, Wednesday 7:00 8:20 pm Harriman Library 59-s » Required Texts, New-Used Reference Books Supplies Student Aids Collegiate Sportswear College Jewelry Paperbacks PROFESSIONAL - CENTER FOR RSP 251 191500 -Jewish Mysticism (Gurary) Tuesday, Thursday *3:00 4:20 pm Crosby 119 Medical Nursing Dental Scientific - RSP 285 089947 -Talmudic Law (Greenberg) Tuesday, Thursday *4:00 5:20 pm Townsend 304 - USED-NEW TEXTBOO BUFFALO TEXTBOOK STORES, INC DIRECTLY ACROSS FROM U.B.

While long lines and early closings by gas stations became increasingly common sights throughout December, the first full-scale famine hit the city just before Christmas Day, when many stations were closed for the holiday and others had simply exhausted their December gas allotment from the oil companies. At the few stations that remained open, cars were lined up for many blocks. Many desperate motorists wasted their precious gallons combing the streets for an open station. An informal form of rationing stations limiting purchases to $3.00 or quickly spread, and $4.00 worth of gas prices skyrocketed. One station in Brooklyn jacked up its meter price to an incredible 99.9 cents a gallon on Christmas Day, and sold all its gas at that price in a' few hours. “I’d pay 45.00 a gallon,” said one frustrated driver, ‘.i.ve got to move my Many people cither cancelled holiday plans, used mass transit, or simply stayed home. One gas station owner had unusual advice for New Year’s motorists: “Don’t drive,” he said. ‘Drink.!! 100-car lines as lines grew longer and tempers shorter, gas station owners depicted themselves as caught in the squeeze between dwindling allotments from the oil companies and skyrocketing consumer demand, panic buying and even hoarding. The oil companies, however, blamed the service stations. Prior to December 1, explained an Exxon spokesman, “all our - - - car. »* Panic ensues Drivers at a Staten island station asking to fill up were told: ‘There’s a $2.00 limit; $4.00 if you get your car washed here.” The Internal Revenue Service activated men for holiday duty to investigate the proliferating complaints of price-gouging, and a random investigation found a large number of stations selling gas at an illegal price. the situation got worse each successive day, as more stations exhausted their December allotment and were forced to close. Only one topic was being debated and discussed by ail New Yorkers, each with their own story to tell. Many considered the gas shortage as designed by the oil companies to jackup prices; others, particularly those who needed their cars for work, were simply worried and frustrated. Headlines blared-: Gasoline Panic and Gas? No Way. As even the remaining stations closed on gaslcss Sunday, December 30, and Tuesday, January 1, gas was virtually impossible to purchase in New York City. n *m9Bt dealers were told they would get 85 per cent of the gas they got in December 1972, and they were told the dates it would be delivered. But how they allocate it, how many hours they remain open, that’s their decision.” A Mobil spokesman said; “If a dealer wants to sell it all in the first hour, that’s his business.” The drought got so bad that traffic was disrupted all over the city. Riding down any main street or avenue, one could spot the gas stations blocks in advance as lines of 100 cars or more congested streets and backed up traffic. Extra traffic policemen were stationed near open gas stations to try to clear at least one lane of cars waiting for gas so thru traffic could pass. While some jyn gas waiting cars five blocks long, a man collected four dollars from each driver and gave them a coupon for that much gas „to speed things up... the man had long disappeared when expectant motorists presented their coupons to the surprised station attendants, who said they knew nothing of the coupons or the bogus employee. More police were placed on foot patrol to conserve gas, and doctors complained they could not obtain gas for emergency calls. Many stations sold gas only to their customers, regular prompting angry outbursts from waiting non-customers. One local hustler found that a handy wallet is a marvellous way to get gas from ostensibly dry pumps. First he obtained the location of an open gas station from a cab driver for a “fare.” Then, after an $2.00 hour-and-a-half wait on line, the attendant grinned and said, „two-dollar limit.” After a plea for compassion failed, the fellow said: ,i also happen to be a close personal friend of George Washington,” quickly producing several dollar bills, a bribe was the magic word as the attendant took out a fat, overstuffed money pouch. ‘This is our special Filler-up fund,” he explained “Would you care to contribute?” Many gas stations surreptitiously charged “membership fees” as what was once a buyer’s market became a seller’s market almost overnight, an investigative disruptions drivers took the philosophically, many blamed government mismanagement for the chaos. Others were openly skeptical as to whether ail the closed stations were really out of gas or were withholding supplies to gain price advantages. There were arguments, short tempers, a few fist fights and other scattered violence. Gas hijacked crime took on a new face as three gunmen hijacked a 3000-gallon gasoline truck by tying up its driver at gunpoint. Police later found the abandoned truck minus its precious cargo. A week later, another 3000-gallon truck was hijacked. At pulled into a station on reporter Manhattan’s West Side and asked if they had any gas. “Well,” said the attendant, “we got a lot but it’s only for regular customers. You want to become a regular customer?” �Oil crisis 11 Buffalo escapes severity by Michael O’Neill National Editor The nation’s oil shortage has made itself felt in nearly every phase of life, leaving no part of the country untouched. Long lines at gas stations, gasless Sundays, and the ever-present threat of fuel rationing have brought the crisis into plain view for the consuming public. The Niagara Frontier has largely managed to escape the brunt of the crisis so far, due to the presence of major oil refineries in the vicinity, but minor inconveniences may be a hint of possible severe problems for local residents in the future. A study released by the Erie County Savings Bank showed that more than 100,000 Buffalo-area residents would not be able; to get enough fuel to drive to work if the standby federal gasoline rationing system is adopted. Local refineries help Two major oil refineries in New York State (Ashland Oil on River Road in Niagara Falls, and Mobil Oil in Buffalo) are located on the Niagara Frontier. These two producers supply gasoline and other petroleum products to the Western New York region via a network of wholesalers and distributors. Because Federal Allocation provisions allow for the distribution of fuel in areas close to the refinery at the expense of outlying districts, the Buffalo area has managed to get through the crisis with only a minimum of cutbacks. The two refineries distill No. 2 heating oil and other light-grade heating oils, as well as gasoline products. Buffalo also receives a daily flow of more than 100,000 barrels of crude oil from Canada. The only m / '< f> ' 0 major problem in this part of-the country has been the shortage of No. 6 heating oil. No. 6 oil is a heavy residual oil used primarily for heating large industrial plants and some older schools and hospital buildings. The Canadian government imposed an embargo on the export of this oil last fall. Local industries had feared a situation that would result in a marked decrease in production and widespread plant shutdowns. The crisis was eased only after local representatives in Washington intervened to persuade Canadian officials to have the fuel shipments delivered. Natural gas, which is used to heat a large number of homes in the vicinity, is ih short supply. Reduced stockpiles and uncertainty over whether future shipments would be delivered prompted the Public Service Commission to restrict several companies from selling gas to new customers. The purpose is to insure that the needs of present customers will be met. Spokesmen for the Iroquois Gas Company said that they are accepting new customers while continuing to meet the needs of their present clientele. Since Iroquois Gas is the largest supplier of natural gas in Western New York, the problems of new customers seeking deliveries has not reached major proportions. However, Iroquois Gas has asked its customers to conserve fuel by lowering their thermostats by six degrees. The most serious threat at present is the specter of the federal standby gasoline rationing program. Large numbers of workers commuting from the outlying areas of Erie County to downtown Buffalo would Jbe faced with the problem of not being able to purchase enough gasoline to drive to and from their jobs. —Kurtz STOREWIDE SALE The Religious Studies Program in the Division of Undergraduate Studies seeks to introduce undergraduates, at a variety of levels, to the academic study of religion; no only the socio-cultural environments of the world’s great religions, but also a formal examination of their theological bases within historical and contemporary perspectives.

Ten thousand-plus anxious fans sat on the of their collective seats, on January 10 as Zimmerman, dressed in a suit and top hat, an guitar strapped to his chest, leaned forward in microphone. Behind him. The Band exploded rock tempo. You say you love me and you 're Thinking of me but you Know you could be wrong You say you told me that you Want to hold me but you Know you 're not that strong... And time will tell just who has fell And who's been left behind When you go your way and I go mine. You say you disturb me and you Don’t deserve me but you Know sometimes you lie... Bob Dylan had returned. The man became a spokesman for a generation in the then sought seclusion from the hysteria h( generated, was giving his first nationwide t eight years. No one knew what to expect. Coul concert match his legendary status? Couli musical offering avoid disappointing the fam had made him into a god? Dylan didn’t disappoint. From his spirited rendition of “Most Likely You Go Your Way and I’ll Go Mine,” he mesmerized the crowd with three hours of incredible music. And he didn’t do it alone. While the crowd had come to see Dylan, The Band’s musical perfection was absolutely overwhelming and they stole the show several times. Dylan’s voice was strong, clear and expressive as he played rhythm guitar and sang the lyrics which had inspired a generation. After a new song, he did “As I Went Out One Morning,” his raspy voice in control, The Band providing excellent back-up with Richard Manuel plunking out a syncopated piano. Next was an electric, upbeat version of “Lay .Lady Lay,” which Dylan sang in a different, faster style, accenting the last word of each phrase. It didn’t have the serene beauty of the studio version, although the fast tempo did seem to please the crowd. Biting lyrics The musical energy hit a peak during “Tom Thumb’s Blues”: Manuel playing brilliant piano; Levon Helm laying a solid foundation of bass; Garth Hudson producing a heavy organ; Robbie Robertson, masterful on lead guitar throughout the concert; and Rick Danko, a simply phenomenal drummer, punctuating the song with ~th id the b) feeling Sweet Melinda, the peasants call her the goddess gloom She,speaks good English and she invitesyou up into her room And you ’re so kind and careful not to go to her too soon And she takes your voice and leaves you howling at the moon. The crowd was ecstatic as Dylan walked over to the piano, played some very familiar chords and sang “Ballad of a Thin Man.” Manuel switched to a second set of drums and The Band was musically tight, but all eyes were on Dylan as he sang his story with feeling and emotion. He sang expressively, movingly, pleadingly; melodramatic at times, snarling and sneering at the right words, as he screamed his penetrating lyrics; You walk into your room with your.pencil in your hand You see somebody naked and you say, who is that man? You try so hard but you don’t understand Just what you will say when you get home Because something is happening and you don’t know what it is Do you, Mr. Jones? Y have Page eight. The Spectrum Monday, 21 January 1974 . To get you of ~ imagination facts when somebody attacks your v But nobody has any respect Anyway they already expect You to all give a check to tax-deductible charity organizations You've been with the professors and They’ve all liked your looks With great lawyers you have discussed lepers and crooks You've been through all of F. Scott Fitzgerald's books You ’re very well-read, it’s well known But something is happening and you don’t know what it is Do You, Mr. Jones? Dylan bowed to a tremendous ovation and left the stage, leaving The Band to perform a set. Any feeling of letdown the crowd might have felt was intantly dissipated within five seconds as they rocked into “Stage Fright.” It was such a tight, perfect reproduction of the song one felt he must have been listening to a giant stereo and not a live performance. The vocal versitility of The Band came into prominence as Levon sang lead while Danko, Manuel and Robertson backed him on harmony. Every instrument was in balance-strong drums and bass, pretty guitar, and when Garth went into a powerful organ break, each instrument �followed him Danko’s powerful voice rang out on “The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down,” with the others harmonizing on the chorus. The result was a beautiful mixture of rich voices, and Robbie’s guitar was precision itself. Manuel played pedal steel guitar or; “King Harvest,” and next was a fantastic verson of “This Wheel’s on Fire.” The bass and lead played in measured opposition to each other, the drums set a powerful beat, and Robbie as the floor leader enabled the five individuals to mesh as one unit. Richard Manuel then went over to the piano (the versatile group was constantly switching instruments), and in slow, measured beauty, his high-pitched voice rang out with Dylan’s “I Shall Be Released.” Once again, the beautiful harmony was captivating. Captivating musk Manuel then switched gears to a syncopated piano and The Band broke into “Cripple Creek,” with Levon singing lead. By now they were really cooking and the crowd felt it; they weren’t just playing songs up there, they were making music. They had played well for Dylan too, but his presence had overwhelmed the crowd. Everyone was a little in awe of Dylan, while The Band seemed like five regular guys they could relate to. Now The Band’s mature blend of instruments and voices was captivating the crowd by itself. Dylan came back for “All Along the Watchtower” and his presence immediately dominated the stage again, his voice in complete control. He wore no hat this time, his black curly hair flowing above his dark glasses, his intense demenanor carrying him through a new song into a mellow rendition of “Knocking On Heaven’s Door” from his movie soundtrack. The Band sang harmony with Dylan on the chorus, and the six musicians left the stage with the crowd in a state of shock. Coffeehouse flavor The break between sets is usually for the musicians, but this time it was the crowd that needed a rest. But only a few minutes later, as everyone was still recovering from the first set, Bob Dylan walked out on stage, strapped on his acoustic guitar and adjusted his harmonica. The next twenty—five minutes alone were worth the price of admission. Suddenly it was just you and Dylan, and it could’ve been a Greenwich Village coffeehouse in 1962, for here was one man and his guitar making music. He opened with “The Times They Are' A’Changing,” then sang a poignant version of “Don’t Think Twice, It’s Alright,” clearly pronouncing the biting lyrics. He emphasized different words, using different accents and inflection than on his albums, and this gave it the flavor of being alive and spontaneous. He then sang an overwhelming version of “Gates of Eden,” spitting out the bitter lyrics, powerfully strumming his acoustic guitar, masterfully utilizing the harmonica. The audience sat transfixed. Relationships of ownership They whisper in the wings to those Condemned to act accordingly A nd wait for succeeding kings And I try to harmonize with songs The lonesome sparrow sings There are no kings inside the gates of Eden... The kingdoms of experience in the precious winds . they rot While paupers change possessions Each one wishing for what the other has got And the princess and the prince discuss What is real and what is not It doesn't matter inside the gates of Eden... After “My Love She Speaks Softly,” Dylan provided possibly the most intense five minutes of the night: a hauntigly powerful version of “It’s Alright, Ma.” Adjectives fail to describe his intense, raspy voice emoting the story and spewing forth each word in a fast but articulate sequence, against a repeating progression of acoustic chords. He was totally absorbed in the music; the audience was entranced. It was nothing less than hypnotic. The crowd heard what they camt to hear, the message of their spokesman. Temptation's page flies out the door You follow, find yourself at war Watch waterfalls of pity roar You feel the moan but unlike before You discover that you just be one more person crying. \ Disillusioned words like bullets bark As human gods aim for their mark Make everything from toy guns that spark To flesh-colored Christs that glow in the dark It’s easy to see without looking too far That not much is really sacred. So don’t fear if you hear A foreign sound to your ear It’s alright, Ma, I’m only sighing. While preachers preach of evil fates Teachers teach that knowledge weights Can lead to hundred-dollar plates And goodness hides behind its gates But even the President of the United States Sometimes must have to stand naked. big cheer followed the line about the ovation following the acoustic set shook the ceiling of Maple Leaf Gardens. Dylan left and The Band returned to do “Rag A President, but the —continued on page 10— Monday, 21 January 1974 The Spectrum Page nine . . �Dylan - . . . Mama Rag,’* rekindling the rock mood, followed by “When You Awake.” Manuel, now sporting a Toronto Maple Leafs jersey, played pedal steel on “The Shape I’m h)” and the others joined in harmony. Danko found the balance between a driving beat and sophisticated drum fills, and Robertson wielded a flashy guitar. Manuel played a full, rich piano and vocal harmonies filled the air during “The Weight,” with Rich and Levon trading verses. Dylan then returned and played two new songs with The Band. Then the lights came on, the crowd stood and clapped in rhythm during “Like a Rolling Stone.” Dylan’s raspy voice led the music, but the sound of 10,000 people shouting “How does it feel?” in unison created an intense feeling. The musicians returned for a fast-paced encore with the opening song, “Most Likely You Go Your Way and I’ll Go Mine,” a freewheeling rock-out which was somehow perfect for that moment. And then it was all over, the crowd filing out, shaking their heads in disbelief. They had seen the legend in concert. They had discovered The Band as a superb musical force. And they had become re-acquainted with Bob Dylan. The legend did not disappoint them. In a sense, Bob Dylan, now 32, a family man with five children, is playing a part on his current nationwide toiir. Moving from his beginnings as an inspiring'folk artist and songwriter in the early-sixties “Blowin’ in the Wind” days, Dylan became so popular that he realized he could create just about any kind of music he wanted. He gradually moved into rock and folk-rock, which alienated many folk “purists” but brought him a widened following and broader means of musical expression. He was immensely popular in the mid-sixties, but, when he stopped touring after his motorcycle accident in 1966, he was deified, like The Beatles, into a virtual myth. Moving through different musical phases, from the countrified Nashville Skyline to the mellow New Morning, Dylan always transcended the labels critics tried to pin on him—“rock,” “folk,” “country,” and so on. But Dylan continually showed his dislike, often paranoia, for his fanatical fans and the persistent press in rock phenomenon-David Bowie, Alice Cooper, visual his quest for seclusion after 1966. He publicly rejected the effects, etc.-a group that just stood there and played role of generational spokesman, taking the “I’m just a guy might not be appreciated. But they’ve been exceptionally who writes songs” attitude. But now, after a brief well-received because Bob Dylan appeals to many people excursion into films and sparse public appearances such as older than the current generation of teenyboppers-Dylan at George Harrison’s concert for Bangladesh, he may be insisted on mail-order tickets so others besides the kids trying to return to his roots. But the 32-year-old Dylan has willing to wait on line all night could see him. The fans found himself playing a part—that of his former self. He who have loved Dylan and The Band have been a little still values his privacy—he vetoed a movie of the tour, has more mature and sophisticated, a little less likely to scream given press interviews only rarely, and he hasn’t spoken to less they miss the lyrics. To those disenchanted with the the crowd at any of the concerts. But he is reportedly current direction of rock, as well as to Dylan himself, the pleased by the reception the concerts have received. return to old-style quality music has been heartening. Remembering the boos of the disastrous Dylan/Band tour of 1965, the musicians wondered if with today’s glitter ~H.K.

CAYAGES There's a GAVAGES near you!! �I Gallery 219 has collected the work of eleven Buffalo craftsmen in a show effective both in the immediateness of the strong color and in the subtlety of design. The materials in the raw are themselves suggestive in a visual and tactile sense-clay, wood, yarn*feathers, silk—and it is with this in mind that it is possible to feel with the craftsman the formulation from material to idea to design to object. American crafts are enjoying much more than a revival, they are being re-evaluated in terms of their limitless potential of expressivity and growth. Everyday, mundane“crafts” such as knitting, crocheting, stitchcry and weaving are being seen in a new aesthetic light. Some craftsmen have expanded ideas from the realm of what is termed “fine art” (i.c. abstract expressionism, hard edge, art nouveau) through their use in craft design. Discovery of synthetic materials by industry has also played a role. For example, weaving is now rubber, new yams of varying utilizing foam unconventional thicknessess, new glazes for pottery, etc. The fundamental foursome basically four crafts are represented in the Norton exhibit: textiles, ceramics, enamel and wood. Each of the craftsmen has extended the possibilities of their materials. These fascinating new directions they have explored make the show exciting. C. Jackson Brockette, a professor at Rosary Hill college, machine- knitted his piece called Five Knots and stated that “it is a first in Buffalo.”Tangled in the yellow stuffed knot are red and purple stripes; from the end a red feather extends to the right while yellow wool hangs toward the ground. Another brockette piece is an experiment in a technique which uses the sun’s rays to photographically develop an image on muslin cloth. Brockette bolsters the resulting image with machine stitchery and stuffing. Mary Jane Randall was interested in macrame when she began to discover that her essential interest was in the rope, she found larger and larger rope pieces in antique and naval surplus stores. Randall brought the rope to the Gallery to arrange it but emphasized that how it is set us is not crucial. As is readily seen at the Gallery, the point is its presence. Nancy Bclfer’s velvet wall quilt is kinetic in the use of color; the very quality and texture of the velvet enhances movement and creates light patterns and shading which continually changes. Kathy McGuigan’s weaving is significant in the beauty of its execution. They are explorations of fairly-traditional loom techniques, the exhibition runs until January 30. —Santos .

Undergraduate EOF students must obtain forms from EOF counselors in Townshend Hall, Despite financial problems, yearbook hopes to continue will be published this year, despite severe financial problems and decreasing interest in such traditional collegiate endeavors as yearbooks. Following the heavy debt of last year’s edition of the Buffalonian, many had speculated it would be discontinued. Sub-Board 1, Inc., publisher of the yearbook last year, was reluctant to provide financial backing for the publication unless an income-offset budget was presented to the Board. (An income-offset budget has all anticipated expenses balanced by anticipated income. Since the project breaks even, it costs the backers nothing.) Buffalonian editor Gayle Watnick said no yearbook could be produced under such terms and therefore approached various photography and printing firms to obtain funds. One firm, Delma Photography Studios, agreed to shoulder the expense of printing the yearbook in return for the contract to take senior portraits. Since yearbooks generally recieve a rebate from the photographers who take senior pictures, the firm can make money on the deal if the yearbook agrees to forego the rebate. Free offer...really Photos will be taken between February 4 and March 1. All who sit for pictures will get six color proofs free which will be suitable for passport. The Buffalonian will be mailed during the summer to all who order it. The hardcover yearbook will cost $3.50. Anyone who wishes to donate photos of campus scenes and events is welcome to do so. Those with an artistic bent may try their hand at a caricature of President Robert Ketter. The best entry will appear in the yearbook. All labor including the editor and her staff is being donated.

The story, as will his upcoming series, focused completely on questionable courses and abuses in the Colleges and while the writer said he thought there were many good courses and Colleges, he regretted that space limitations prevented him from emphasizing them. Buffalo community's negative image of University students. Snide comments by a local radio DJ about drug use by University students and press stories on the immorality of co-ed dorms only serve to reinforce the outdated student stereotype held by many in the community. The student-community antagonism which reached its peak during the 1970 disorders is long past. Students are now a positive force in Buffalo; both the Community Action Corps and many College programs send students into the community to help hospital patients, disadvantaged kids, the mentally retarded and other needy people. Yet activities such as these, while not as eye-catching as lesbianism courses, receive relatively little coverage. Certainly abuses must be reported.

Larry Williams, BSU president and a leader in the fight to maintain the EOF program, was harassed and arrested last semester by racist campus cop, Gary Kalisz. Larry was found not guilty of all charges in Buffalo City Court Still, he has to pay $ 1000 in legal fees and has lost time from his school work. We think that the Student Association must, in the best interests of ail students black and white, take action in support of Larry and other EOF students, and against university racism. Rather than merely bemoan the poor state of race relations on this campus, the SA should take concrete action against UB racism; Move to make UB reimburse Larry Williams for legal expenses, and until such time as this is accomplished provide the money from student funds or find a way to raise it.

The problems with EOP funds arc only part of the Nixon administration’s austerity program and moves to have us “tighten our belts.” These include: proposed elimination of NDSL loans, work-study, hiring freezes and noises about raising SUNY tuition which has already doubled since 1970. All this is accompanied by increasing unemployment affecting students, their families and faculty. EOP and black students are the first targets in plans that will We urge everyone to come to eliminate many “middle class” students. Under no circumstances is Larry Williams “just another individual having problems with the cops,” but someone who is speaking and fighting for us all. Blacks, as the most oppressed sector of the working class and the first to lose jobs and financial aid, are leading the struggle against deteriorating conditions. The SA will not be able to stop anticipated tuition hikes or the arming of campus cops (or anything else for that matter) unless it comes to ijps NOW with racism and the cutbacks facing blacks anf whites. EOP and other programs have been attacked and cut as “black programs,” but if they go, the white students on them will go too. Economic attacks on any of us are attacks on us all.

John Painter Director New College images To the Editor. At the faculty-senate meeting this Tuesday (2:30—5:00, Diefendorf 148), there shall be a voice leading the conservative position on this campus, by George. Dr. Reichert’s document has sufficient conditions to yield the reputed claim of grave hierarchical leanings by the faculty senate executive committee. The necessary direction that amendments eliminating phrases like “or an alternative” will push the colleges can be imagined. First, the chartering requirement will be used to eliminate all currently active programs except women studies, College B (without Dr. Sapp) and paraprofessional Colleges H and Z which will be given a short charter. This delay will be used to force the latter to conform with programs now—nonfunctioning and those having made special arrangements with other units of the university, sucsh as the law school, Dr. Ketter, or Dr. Gelbaum (who realigned funding to college D), or to coolly them out. The assembly is dissolved period. The only control over the collegiate director is, of course, from above. Democratic governance is inappropriate for a “liberal institution" like a state university, ihe director has an advisory council with no real power like the current faculty senate. Each college will be run by a master (the old plan) with full responsibility to the director for his unit, but supposedly with no autocv tic power, i.e. phase - - under whom freedom of governance c»ii occur. The final slap is the total elimination of experimental courses. Instructors under each master and their courses must be approved by the undergraduate Dean’s office. A student’s place is under the supervision of an instructor or a resident assistant for residential colleges.

It is our assumption that the intention was to depict how commercialism has detracted from the true meaning of Christmas. However, it is our concern that to many students it came across as a mockery of Christ. We believe that to many students today, it i$ true that Christ is no more to them than a Raggedy Ann doll. They have either never considered His deity or His relevance to their lives, or they have rejected the possibility of His being relevant. To us the true meaning of Christmas is that God gave man the gift of Himself to bridge the separation between God and man. And the Bible says that by accepting this gift, by accepting Christ as our personal Saviour, we can experience a personal relationship with God. — Students of Campus Crusade for Christ Lawrence Ilardo David Fagerlund Joseph Karlya Edward Maloney Kathy Gilmour Susie Sanders Barb Sutherland Deb Rath Steven Hill Kenice Dalton Wayne Gall Sue Robbins Peggy Mercer Sonya Latham Bonnie Helander Beth Schwoerer To the Editor occurred 'is a social unjustice against these other religions.

When the communists handed our Government lists of the POWs to be repatriated, they also gave us the names of 60 Americans who “died in captivity” and whose bodies were to be exhumed and sent home. But none has been returned. Yet, Washington has been strangely silent about the neglected repatriation of these dead, about the fate of the men previously classified as POWs, and about the hundreds of other “missing” men who did not come home. If we are to have true “peace with honor our Government must be prodded into speaking out for these men. The United States must strongly and publicly insist that all of the American missing be accounted for, that any who are still alive be returned, and that the bodies of our dead be sent home for honorable burial.

It is my understanding that this is one of many similar problems students have with our efficient but parochial Art Library. Perhaps your publication of this letter will encourage more students to do what they can to make school facilities more accessable to themselves. enclosing Dear Prof. Albers. I am writing to you about a very unfortunate situation which exists at the State University of New York at Buffalo where I attend school as an art student. I came to this school as an undergraduate transfer student from the Cleveland Institute of Art to live with my husband who is employed in Buffalo. While I was a student in Cleveland I used your exciting, helpful book Interaction of color in many of my design and painting courses. I purchased the small paperback copy of the text for my own personal use but found it only minimally helpful without the plates in the complete edition to which I had access in the Cleveland Institute’s art library. My problem here at Buffalo is this - the school library owns a copy of the complete Interaction o) Color. This copy is kept in a special reserve library not even to use in and is not available for students the library proper. Agter I talked and pleaded with - the head Librarian of the Art Library, Mrs. DaLuisa, and the head of the Art Department, Mr. Don Robertson, and several art faculty members, the book was made available by special request only to graduate students. Of course, I understand Interaction of Color is very valuable, especially since there aren’t going to be more editions made. But isn’t a book most valuable as a tool? And isn’t a tool created to be used? The tragedy is that the book is being saved and protected for posterity while students now are being denied the chance to see and learn from it. As I have exhausted all avenues of appeal here, I am writing to you in hope that you might think it not beneath your notice to drop a line to Mrs. DaLuisa, or Mr. Robertson, or Mr. E. Smith, urging them to allow your book to be used as I believe you meant it to by art students. - Please, Katherine Chames Zander Monday, 21 January 1974 The Spectrum . Page seventeen .

It was from these airbases that many bombing raids were carried out over Viet Nam, Laos and Cambodia.

Richard Nixon. “1 took part in the subsequent coverup.-.I shall continue to subvert the institutions of government by unlawful means.” What’s this? the President admitting to crimes against the American people? Well, not exactly. It sounds real enough, but in fact the recording is an altered version of Nixon’s August 15 speech in which he denied any involvement in, or knowledge of, the Watergate break-in and cover-up. The record is -a cleverly edited version of the Nixon speech made by New York recording engineer 15. Tcibcl. Teibel, 35, heard Nixon’s innocence speech and, amidst the controversy around the presidential tapes, decided to make his own version of the speech to prove to students in his tape editing course at the New School for Social Research how easily a tape can be altered. The Teibel version of the speech involved making 140 splices a minute. “I certainly wasn’t out to challenge the President,” said Teibel in defense of his work. “I’m basically apolitical I’ve never voted in my. life. I just wanted to demonstrate that tape is infinitely flexible and that if you accept a tape for evidence, you’re asking for trouble.” When Teibel’s tape was first issued as a 45 RPM (with the original speech on the flip side for added laughs) not surprisingly most radio stations refused to touch it. Word-of-mouth news of the record traveled quickly, though, and it is now in its sixth printing. Teibel’s mail order business has received orders from all over the country, some asking that it be sent in a plain brown wrapper. ‘The Altered Nixon Speech,” as the record is called, is selling best in Washington, D.C. Teibel has received a dozen orders from Capitol Hill staffers and a record store near the White House reports that they can’t keep it in stock. - Nixon doomwatch New York, N.Y.

Nixon has said on more than one occasion that he will stay in office “as long as I’m in good health,” and newspaper columnists have suggested that this statement could provide a way out. When Nixon was hospitalized for viral pneumonia last summer, it was reported that he had been coughing blood. Although Nison’s personal physician denied the report New York magazine says that the source of this account was none other that White House advisor General Alexander Haig.

LOCAL Firearms banned The presence of firearms has been barred at the Buffalo State College, 1300 Elmwood Ave. Until recently, that school’s top three or four security men had been allowed to bring personal, licensed pistols to the campus as a “standby measure.” However, “current regulations prohibit possession of or use of firearms without the expressed permission of the chief administrative officer,’’stated Buffalo State President E.K. Fretwell on January 11. Any weapon that could be carried must be both state-owned and approved by the college president. “No privately owned weapon may be carried onto or utilized on campus,” stated Dr. Fretwell. ‘Therefore, if any member of the Campus Security Dept brings his own should cease personal wweapon, this practice At the State immediately.” University of Buffalo, President Robert Ketter has not allowed the arming of campus security officers, despite' the Committee on Internal Security’s recent recommendation for selective arming. Dr. Ketter has already received recommendations from the undergraduate student Association and the Faculty Staff Senate, but the Faculty-Senate has as het taken no action on the matter, according to Tom Crainc, has as yet taken no action on the matter, according to Tom Craine, for some more input,” Mr. Craine said.

Papa ninataan �by Louis Harris By 48-40 per cent, the American people feel that President Nixon "should be impeached if Judge Sirica were to decide that the the President was negligent in the care he took of the Watergate tapes.” There is little doubt from the latest Harris Survey that Mr. Nixon’s handling of the tapes issue has seriously damaged him and has cast a deep shadow on his continued tenure in the White House. Here are some key findings on the tapes issue from a survey of 1,460 households nationwide, conducted by the Harris firm from January 7-10: —By 58-23 per cent, a majority of the public “does not believe President Nixon when he said that two of the nine taped conversations Judge Sirica wanted were never recorded in the first place.” This result marks a slight increase in the number who doubt the President’s story from the 55-23 per cent majority who felt that way back in November. -By 59-22 per cent, almost 3-to-l, a majority feels that “the 18 minutes missing from the tape of the conversation between President Nixon and H.R. Haldeman were deliberately erased because they would have proven Mr. Nixon’s involvement in the cover-up.” -By 60-21 per cent, the public simply does not believe the claim that the 18 minutes on the disputed tape “were erased by mistake by the President’s secretary, Rose Mary Woods.” -By 55-22 per cent, a majority now believes that “the two missing tapes were ordered destroyed because they would have proven Mr. Nixon knew about the Watergate cover-up.” This result is considerably higher n •’’w'rfrifWfrW • harris poll than the 47-27 per cent plurality who felt the same way November. -By 46-42 per cent, most Americans now feel thai “people should not give President Nixon the benefit of the doubt in the missing tapes controversy.” Late last year, the public felt he sould be given “the benefit of the doubt” by 46-43 per cent. The real doubts the American people have in the President on the tapes issue are summed up in the 82-13 per cent majority who give Mr. Nixon negative marks on his “handling of the Watergate tapes." At stake is not only the believed slipshod manner in which the President h dealt with the tapes, but the basic question of just what involvement, if any, he had in the cover-up of the Watergate case. asked about s Periodically, the .Harris Survey has public views on Mr. Nixon’s involvement in the cover-up: “Do you feel President Nixon knew about the attempt to cover up White -House involvemept in Watergate while it was going on, or do you think he did not know about the cover-up?” Nixon Knowledge of Watergate Cover-up Knew Did not Not about it know sure 67% 21% 12% January, 1974 NEWMAN CENTER Main St. & Niagara Falls Blvd. • 834-2297 • Sat 28 Spring Semester Course Offerings Jn JUDAIC STUDIES TRADITIONS.

Despite his repeated denials that he possessed knowledge of the cover-up, the majorities doubting his word have mounted. The deterioration of the President’s credibility on his cover-up claims has coincided with deep public doubts and criticism of his handling of the tapes. There is no doubt now that in his behavior on the tapes, Mr. Nixon has gone a long way toward losing his trial by public opinion over Watergate. Put bluntly, the people think the President has not been forthcoming on the tapes, and the only reason they can give for his action is the growing suspicion that he cannot afford to reveal his conversations on the subject of Watergate during 1972 and 1973. Throughout the long months during which the Watergate controversy has raged, it has been evident that a missing link in the case against the President was any specific charge which could leveled against him. A finding of negligence in the handling of the tapes by Judge Sirica clearly would trigger a public reaction in favor of impeachment. That is why die tapes have become a central part of the drama now taking place on whether this President will remain in the White House for his full term. 102 JEWISH Sunday Mass Main Campus Nov., 1973 Oct.

Realignments and altercations The hockey Bulls defeated two Division II opponents while winning six of nine contests during the Christmas recess to upgrade their chances for the playoff tournament in March. Buffalo’s latest conquest was t methodical 8—3 decision over New England College at Holiday Twin Rinks on Friday night. The Bulls had defeated another Division II squad, American International, 4-3, in the final of the latter’s Holiday tournament. Buffalo’s record stands at 11—8 (3—0 in Division D). Buffalo also defeated Lake Forest twice, dropped two games to Western Michigan and split a pair at Ithaca during the vacation. The Bulls who had IS Division II opponents on their schedule at die start of the season, found that number reduced to seven when the ECAC issued a mid—season release which announced the reinstitution of a Division III for college hockey.

Lauderdale, Florida during the mid-semester recess to participate in the Ft. Lauderdale Swim Forum. The forum consisted of 130 college squads. Buffalo participated in three workouts each day, occupying a good portion of their time. Coach Bill Sanford, who was the Secretary-Treasurer of the swim forum, observed: “Everything was fantastic.” The swim forum was not the full story for the Bulls. Since the trip was too expensive to be just ingBulls trounced by top-ranked Clarion grapplers Wrest by Brace Engel out charged up, and did nearly everything right. With the large crowd behind them, they won the first two Contributing Editor Buffalo’s wrestling Bulls were crushed by national power Clarion State 32-6 last Wednesday, but then rolled over a weak Georgia Tech squad on Friday, 45-3. Buffalo had downed Brockport 30-9 on January 12. This brought Ed Michael’s grapplers to 13-1 for the season. The contrast between the Clarion and Georgia Tech matches went beyond the reversal of scores and difference in the caliber of opponents. In Clarion, the match was viewed by 4000 excited, wrestling-hungry central Pennsylvanians bent on revenging last year’s loss to Buffalo, the only blemish on Clarion’s 1972-73 record. The Yellowjacket contest took place Friday afternoon before a few hundred listless fans in Clark Hall. Despite a sign hung by Clarion’s cross-country team calling for revenge against Buffalo, Golden Eagle coach Bob Bubb claimed that the match was not as big as it might have been. Last year, after the Eagles lost in Buffalo, Bubb was anxious to see the Bulls come to Clarion. However, the Eagles had already lost two matches this year on an upgraded schedule that included a recent western trip with six matches in eight days. “Our program is geared for the national championships,” Bubb commented. Bubb has been very successful: Clarion had three national titlists last year and five in the last two seasons. Eagles fired up Bubb might have played down the match a little (by contrast, Bull coach Ed Michael told his team that it was the opportunity of a lifetime since Clarion is ranked first in the east and the Bulls fifth), but his wrestlers would have none of it. They came matches and were only beaten once. At 134 lbs., Buffalo’s Jim Young dominated Jack Davis, 15-5, avenging an earlier loss to Davis in a holiday tournament. The Bulls realized that the Golden Eagles had three national champs in the lineup and hoped to win by exploiting Clarion’s weak spots. It was ironic that Jerry Nowakowski and Wade Schalles were introduced before the match as the 158-pound opponents, when in fact the Bulls would not waste their star against the two-time national champ. Nowakowski would be pushed up a weight class to 167 and Schalles would wrestle 150-pounder Ron Parker, if anyone. Michael even toyed with the idea of a strategic forfeit to Schalles.

Nowakowski suffered his first loss of the year against Chris Clark, and at 190 the still unbeaten Charlie Wright had to settle for a tie. But the biggest defeat occurred when a tie was taken away from co-captain Bill Jacoutot by a stalling penalty with only seven seconds left. In fairness to Jacoutot, the situation should have been ruled a stalemate and the match a draw, but Jacoutot had to win and a tie would have helped little. After the match, Bubb concluded that his team had been strengthened by their grueling western swing. “It got us in shape and accustomed to good competition,” Bubb said. Similarly, Michael saw some benefit in Buffalo’s otherwise dreary loss. “A lesson in humility never hurt anyone,” Michael concluded. RIC BENTLEY 1 •37-094 supported by the Athletic Department, the Bulls raised money through raffles and an art sale to cover the trip’s expenses. The remaining part was personally financed by the members of the team. To cut costs, the Bulls used vans owned by the University and planned to camp out near Ft. The Bulls were forced to flee from their apartments when police sprayed tear gas to disburse a crowd of students who had tried to evade them by running into the Bulls’ quarters. With police helicopters flying overhead, Ft. Lauderdale was involved in its annual student-police altercation. Then there was the gasoline problem that has plagued many motorists during recent weeks. Coach Sanford reported that gasoline prices ranged from 50 cents a gallon upward. “Many of the teams had had problems with travelling,” he added. Join THE SPECTRUM ARTS STAFF!

FBI documents detail campaign of disruption aimed at New Left WASHINGTON (LNS) Under pressure of a Federal court order, the FBI has released documents which detail an extensive three year campaign by the Bureau to “disrupt and otherwise neutralize the activities of the various New Left Organizations, their leadership and adherents.’* The document directives from then-FBI director J. Edgar Hoover to regional offices were made public after a 26- month court battle waged by a Ralph Nader legal group on behalf of NBC newsman Carl Stem. The two documents released were the directives in which Mr. Hoover first set up the “Counterintelligence Program,” called COINTELPRO, and later discontinued it. The Freedom of Information Clearing House won access to the documents in court and the FBI chose not to appeal the decision and handed over the two documents. In the first memo from Mr. Hoover, dated May 8, 1968, the director announces; “the Bureau is instituting a Counterintelligence Program directed against the New Left movement and its key activist.” Mr. Hoover explained that “the purpose of this program is to expose, disrupt and otherwise neutralize the activities of the various New Left organizations, their leadership and adherents.” - - — Frustrate efforts The memo explains that the goal of the program must be to “frustrate every effort of these groups and individuals to consolidate their forces or to recruit new or youthful adherents.” Mr. Hoover stressed that “no opportunity should be missed to capitalize upon organizational and personal conflicts of their leadership.” Among the suggestions Mr. Hoover offers to do the job is to use “the cooperation of reliable news media sources.” He also warned that when using the press in this manner, caution must be taken that “the source will not reveal the Bureau’s interest or betray our confidence.” The memo indicates that this was not the only such activity conducted by the FBI but rather would serve “to complement and stimulate our accelerated intelligence investigations.” Mr. Hoover did warn, however, that this mission was particularly sensitive and stressed that “the nature of this new endeavor is such that under no circumstances should the existence of the program be Kent State plot? Similarly, talk of a new push for grand jury made known outside the Bureau and appropriate within investigation should be afforded this sensitive into the Kent State killings surfaced last fall office security when an Ohio National Guard commander implicated a operation.” civilian undercover FBI informer as having fired the first shot.

S. Communist Party, Black extremists and Socialist Workers Party. The memo states that “although successful over the years” these programs should be discontinud “for security reasons because ot their sensitivity.” Appropriately timed The Hoover memo announcing the program was dated May 8, 1969, about one monthe after the Assassination of Martin Luther King (with the black rebellions that followed it) and in the midst of about one month after the assassination of Martin Luther King University. The memo terminating the program “for security reasons” was issued on April 28, 1971. The events of that brief three year period were significant for the legt.

Monday. 21 January 1974 Such information has led people like Peter Davies, the author of The Truth About Kent State ,to speculate that the killing there were a calculated effort to clamp the' lid on student protest. Davies suggests that future historians may find “that Kent State was the worst can of worms in the Watergate era.” The “secutity reasons” for why the program was dropped can also be examined in terms of events of that time period.

Rubin Spectrum staff Writer Despite the three-week vacation layoff, Buffalo’s fencing team thumped Hobart 19-8 at Qark Hall last Wednesday night. It was the third straight win for the Bulls, upping their recond to 3-1, while Hobart’s mark slipped to 2-2. Bull assistant coach Jules Goldstein was confident of victory before the contest, but expressed concern over the long layoff. Goldstein commented: “If 1 had to fence after three weeks without practice, 1 know I‘d be in trouble. Sometimes with these boys, two or three touches can bring them around. I hope we can do it.” Hobart, on the other hand, had a full week of post-vacation practice under its belt. When asked if his squad would win, Hobart’s coach John Burke EDDIE KENDRICKS The Statesmen got off to a solid start, scoring victories in two of the first three sabre bouts. Buffalo came back with two of three bouts in epee and a sweep in foil, and went on to win convincingly. The Bulls were surprisingly quiet after the win. Goldstein remarked, “I knew they would do it,” and co-captain Howie Forman observed, “I expected sabre to do better.” The Bulls provided some outstanding individual performances. Gerry Manna continued his leadership as the top Buffalo fencer as he won all three of his foil bouts. His record is now 9-2. Forman also swept three bouts in epee. Tom Giblin, Tom Gately, and co-captain Steve Munz also had perfect nights. The Bulls swept all three events, winning sabre 5-4, epee 6-3, and foil 8-1. Buffalo’s “B” team also upset the same hooart squad by a score of 15-12. With special guests the persuasions at CENTURY THEATER ' v an rbc films prasantation emk* Monday, 21 January 1974 .

By signing an armistice, we ended the civil war that had plagued that little country in Southeast Asia for 14 years. Or so we thought. ‘It has always been clear,” as Dr. Kissinger himself said, “that a lasting peace could come about only if neither side sought to achieve everything it had wanted, indeed that stability depended on the relative dissatisfaction of all the parties concerned. And therefore, it was clear that whether this agreement brings a lasting peace or not depends not only on its provisions, but pn the spirit in which it is implemented.” The return of our POW’s, the withdrawl of all American troops and the subsequent end of the draft caused us to be ecstatic. But slowly, in bits and pieces, the agreement began to deteriorate. In April, the exchange of civilian prisoners between the Saigon government and the Viet Cong broke down. Mistrust and irreconsilable positions have dominated the negotiations in Paris designed to establish free elections in South Vietnam. The negotiators have not met for the last eight weeks. The joint military commissions designed to make the cease-fire work have been marred by numerous accounts of non-cooperation. The four-power international commission designed to supervise the cease-fire, whose Province, one day after the Communists’ most spectacular attack since the cease-fire, a raid on South Vietnam’s largest petroleum depot just outside Saigon. The rocket attack destroyed 18 million gallons ofpetroleum products, which represents as much as 45 percent of all civilian stocks in the country. Saigon is maintaining that the recent Viet Cong attacks on the Central Highlands and on the oil fields indicate a major Communist offensive is in the works. But the South Vietnamese army under the direction of President Nguyen Van Thieu, has not adopted the usual defensive posture before an expected offensive. discontent with theThieu government. President Thleu has moved with deliberate slowness in allowing non-Communists and neutralists into his government, has silenced opposition newspapers and held thousands of political prisoners in Saigon jails; these repressive actions have not helped his popularity. The question is whether the South Vietnamese army and air force, with the civilian leadership handicapped by domestic problems, will be able to repel the Communist offensive. at this time, the United States was preparing to launch a major bombing offensive designed to end the war and bring the Communists to the bargaining table. The UJS. destroyed dikes, hospitals, people, and roads, and ultimately withdrew from the conflict. But with these recent developments, the rationale behind the January cease-fire becomes dear. President Nixon, under intense pressure to win his re-election and implement his “secret plan” to end the war first pledged in his campaign of 1968, wanted to get out of Vietnam. His plan was to remove American troops from the conflict, proclaim peace in Southeast Asia, and ‘let the Discontent with Thieu the Asian boys to the fighting.” He has succeeded in all three. limited The problem for Saigon rests with However, diplomatic proclamations are typically the most amount of time they have to prepare for the dry-season to turn into reality. Richard Nixon, although still feel certain a Viet difficult attack, whenever it may come. Officials is maintaining a vocal “hard-line” against the Communists, Cong offensive is imminent. Saigon, like Washington, of an economic nature, has not ended the war in Indochina. As one Saigon official plagued with internal problems compounded by the oil destruction, and problems of . put it: ‘The Third Vietnam war has already begun.” Last year news analysis problems were dramatized by Canada’s withdrawal last summer, has proved totally ineffective. Obviously, then, the diplomatic peace mechanisms established by our Nobel prize-winning Secretary of State, and his counterpart Le Due Tho (who refused the Peace Prize on the grounds that true peace had not been achieved), have collapsed. It is interesting to note that the cease-fire Dr. Kissinger established for the Middle East is also breaking down. 50,000 killed The war itself had become as brutal and deadly as before the US. pullout. The Saigon Government claims 11,233 of its soldiers have been killed and claims to have killed 40,082 Viet Cong, a figure generally beleived by experts to be inflated fourfold. The South Vietnamese Air Force, supplied with United States bombers, is continuing a steady stream of attacks on Communits positions, making 124 bombing raids in one day last week. News Item: The United States aircraft carrier Midway was maneuvering into position off North Vietnam in the Gulf of Tonkin, it was reported last weekend. Additionally, the Midway was reported flying reconnaissance missions over the country, despite warnings from Hanoi that such “obvious” acts of provocation would probably lead to a resumption of intense hostility. President Nixon has frequently warned Hanoi that if it flagrantly ignores the Cease-fire agreement, the U.S. might resume aerial bombing of North Vietnam, although Congressional legislation forbids this and any attempt would be sure to ignite an intense domestic debate. News Item: Saigon, South Vietnam, Dec. 6 (New York Times) In the last month, the fighting in South Vietnam has reached its fiercest level since the January signing of the agreement for an ostensible cease-fire, which has since In the eyes of many foreign military been shattered analysts, the intentions of the Communists for 1974 remain uncertain.

Her five bought heroin from Mr. Sostrc, recanted that testimony at children were placed in foster homes while she was in a trial in May 1973, but District Judge John T. Curtin has prison. Ms. Robinson was “an innocent victim of the not yet passed a decision in the matter. On the day ofhis whole affair,” said Sharon Fischer, coordinator of the trial, Mr. Sostrc was forced to submit to a rectal Sostre Defense Committee. “Hers is the classic case of examination before he was allowed to testify at the trial, which he resisted. He claims he was then beaten by seven being in the wrong place at the wrong time.” guards and has since been charged with three counts of Sostre still in jailfor drugs Editor’s Note: This is the second of two parts describing the ordeal of Martin Sostre. a black bookstore owner who was convicted in 1967 on charges of selling heroin. The major witness in his trial has since recanted his testimony, but Mr. Sostre remains in jail by Linda Moskowitz Editor Feature Vincent Copeland has written a book entitled The dime of Martin Sostre. In describing the July 1967 incident, in which police claim they saw Mr. Sostre sell heroin, he reports that according to one of three youths who were in the store at the time, a policeman pulled a package out of his pocket and exclaimed “Aha here it is! See what we found, Marty?” This package was later found to contain 11 gins sine envelopes of heroin and was used as evidence at Mr. Sostre’s trial. In his book, Mr. Copeland discusses the possibility that Martin Sostre was a drug runner. A drug pusher would never work for two years at a steel plant, as Mr. Sostre did at Bethlehem Steel to make money to support his store,. Mr. Copeland commented. ‘T And it utterly impossible to imagine a human being deciding to work an extra year at this kind of labor after he has already established a front for illegal (and physically easy) operations and is set to begin them,” he wrote. Mr. Copeland further believes Mr. Sostre was wrested because he was a threat to the existing power structure. Eleven months after the arrest, Buffalo Police Cbmmissioner Frank Felicetta appeared before the House Un-American Activities Committee in Washington to testify about the 1967 uprising in Buffalo’s ghetto. Martin Sostre was charged with arson and riot originally, but these charges were dropped. Mr. Copeland wrote that Commissioner Felicetta “revealed that he too understood the real crime of Martin Sostre, but that he had arrested Martin for it, not the narcotics charge. Strangely enough, he devoted considerable energy and attention to the charges that had been withdrawn in the Sostre case.” Bound and gagged Mr. Copeland also noted that the narcotics charge or the issue of heroin addiction was never even mentioned daring the Committee’s session. Martin Sostre and Geraldine Robinson were arrested. Mr. Sostre’s bail was originally set at $50,000 and later reduced to $12,500. He had. a great deal of difficulty obtaining a lawyer because of the controversial nature of die case. Eventually he acted as his own counsel, and contested the fact that he was tried before an all-white jury, as well as the fact that he could not adequately prepare his case while he was in prison. His bail was never Maximum security The police offered to let Ms. Robinson go if she pleaded guilty. HOwever, because this would have implied Mr. Sostre’s guilt, she refused and served her sentence. Mr. Sostre was placed in Attica Prison for one night, but according to Ms. Fischer, they refused to keep him due to the unstable atmosphere there after the 1971 riots. He was then transferred to Green Haven Correctional Facility, a maximum security prison, where he was placed in solitary for a week and then told by the warden that this was a warning of what could be done to him, Ms. Fischer reported. After spending two months in the prison population, he was again placed in solitary for “practicing law without a license,” after he tried to mail a legal certificate to Ms. Robinson. Before and after this second trial, he was transferred to Walkill Prison. Mr. Sostre attempted to form a labor union among prison workers there, and was then moved to the Auburn Correctional Facility. After two weeks, Mr. Sostre succeeded in organizing another labor union and a strike soon broke out among the workers in the license plate shop. He was then put back in solitary confinement on November 7, 1972. Specter of brainwashing In a retort to claims by Assemblyman Arthur O. Eve and a civil attorney and State University of Buffalo law professor Herman Schwartz that Mr. Sostre was put in solitary as .harassment for his labor activities, Auburn Superintendent Robert J. Henderson said in a press release that “Sostre has been placed in ‘special housing’ because he refused to shave off his beard,” after being given three weeks to do so. His beard is reportedly one-quarter inch long. On December 19, 1972, Mr. Sostre was moved to Clihton Prison, where he has remained in solitary ever since. Mr. Sostre and his lawyers felt that he was placed there pending completion of the Adirondack Diagnostic and Treatment Center being built in part of the second-degree assault. “The victim gets charged with the crime,” Ms. Fischer commented on this event. If Mr. Sostre is convicted on this felony charge, he may face a life-imprisonment sentence under the recidivist statute for three-time felony offenders. Mr. Sostre’s first felony was a narcotics charge in New York City in 1952, which got him a six-to-twelve year sentence, of which he served all twelve years, as well as four years in solitary for trying to obtain rights for Muslims in prison. Although he is no longer a Muslim, Mr. Sostre was once a member of the nation of Islam. Ms. Fischer claims Mr. Sostrc is being denied the right to see a minister, which violates his constitutional right to freedom of religion. He is also not permitted visits from members of his defense committee or a lawyer, which Ms. Fischer claims violates his right to legal counsel. ‘They’re throwing the book at him,” she said, “and they’re throwing out the whole United States Constitution.” Official support Several Federal and State Congressmen have tried to intervene in the case. Among them are U.S. Representatives Charles B. Rangel, and Herman Badillo, State Assemblyman Arthur O. Eve and State Senator Robert Garcia. However, it is extremely difficult for these officials to help Mr. Sostre for several reasons. Federal officials have little power over state correctional facilities, as they do not control the funding for these institutions, according to a spokesman at Representative Rangel’s office. The spokesman added that the most an official can do is request an investigation of prison conditions. These investigations are conducted by the prison officials themselves, however, who are not likely to report controversial findings. “We try, but we have been able to do nothing so far as the New York State prison system goes,” the spokesman said. Another spokesman at Mr. Badillo’s office claimed: “We don’t have the staff or resources to undertake major investigations. Prison reform just doesn’t have a big constituency. We’ve been trying to push a prisoner’s bill of rights, but there’s not much constituency for it.” First, the ‘big’ issues Although some reform measures have been introduced, such as the ombudsman program co-sponsored by Rep. Rangel, which would provide an impartial legal advisor for prisoners, Mr. Rangel’s spokesman said: “Right now much of minor legislation in Congress is being subordinated to big crisis issues, such as Watergate and the energy problem.” Martin Sostre has limited support at this time, but despite his lengthy imprisonment, he has accomplished a great deal for his cause. He is currently being backed by Amnesty International a prestigious, worldwide, non-political organization for the defense of political prisoners. The group has consulting status with the United Nations and Ts a member of UNESCO. Among the members on their Board of Directors is William F Buckley. They have chapters in 63 countries. Amnesty International usually doesn’t back prisoners from the United States, as Americans usually get some semblance of a fair trial as compared to other countries. They would not back Angela Davis. However, a spokesman said: “We became convinced that Martin Sostre had been the victim of an international miscarriage of justice because of his political beliefs.” Mr. Sostre’s case “is one of the most appalling injustices in history, and he will never get out unless people start supporting him, demanding an end to the conditions of his imprisonment, as well as an end to his imprisonment altogether,” Ms. Fischer said. She urges that anyone interested in supporting Martin Sostre contact the Sostre Defense Committee (Box 839, Ellicott Station, Buffalo, N.Y. 14205) for more information.

Page four The Spectrum Wednesday, . . 12 December 1973 r . �IQ tetto What do they really measure? Editor’s Note: On Friday and Monday The Spectrum published a two-part series concerning die debate over whether genetic or environmental factors were more responsible fen individual differences on IQ- tests. Either the environmentalist approach, that some argument be groups may culturally deprived, or the Jensen/Shockley that blacks average 15 points lower than whites argument, assumes that IQ because they are genetically inferior tests are accurate predictors of general intelligence. Much evidence, however, suggests that the IQ tests built into the school system may be nothing more than an Anglo yardstick. - - Standardized tests have become as much a part of the school system as textbooks and number two pencils. As the current crop of college seniors is wading through the GRE’s, LSAT’s, and MCAT’s, just as high school seniors are grappling with SAT’s, the public school population is being measured with what used to be called IQ tests, although they now have more euphemistic names. But IQ tests operate on the croneous assumption that there is a single phenomenon called “general intelligence,” argues John Garcia, professor of Psychology at the State University at Stony Brook. ‘The designers of IQ tests built into them some intrinsic assumptions that make them useless for comparing the intelligence of biosocial groups,” explains Dr. Garcia. Tracing the history of tip classic IQ test, the Stanford-Binet test, he explains how Stanford University professor Lewis Terman modified Alfred Binet’s test in 1916 to insure standardization from an American school population of widely diverse ethnic backgrounds. ‘Terman restricted his choice to items from the school curriculum that school authorities deemed important: reading, writing, arithmetic,” explained Dr. Garcia. Narrow measure “The traits manifestdd in Picasso’s art, or those separating a master-mechanic from a ten-thumbed apprentice, were pushed aside into the “special-abilities” category,” he observed. If items from the machine shop, music class, art class, and other areas had been included, “concepts about what and whom to regard as intelligent might be broader than they arc.” Thus, “to insure validity the testers included in the group in the standardization only the children of white, English-speaking parents. The Stanford-Binet became an Anglo IQ test,” Dr. Garcia concluded. As time went on, the testers built in controls for both age and sex, but not for cultural backgrounds. They accounted for the maturing intellect by divising an Intelligence Quotient (IQ) derived by dividing a subject's mental age (raw score on test) by his chronological age. A person’s raw score increases until he is about 17, then begins to decline slowly. Dr. Garcia explains: “A person who is out of school is not quite as adept at school items as when he was in school.” IQ’s of persons who remain in school past age 17 continue to increase, and “while a person’s ability to deal with the rest of the world often improves,” said Dr. Garcia, noting that insurance companies think men over 25 become lower-risk drivers. found that the children from homes farthest from the or Anglo middle-class pattern had an average IQ of 84.5, from Oucaaos borderline retarded; while Macks and by disregarding items that strongly favored either men or homes roost like the Anglo middle-clan pattern had m women, Dr. Garcia explained. “By blending items that average IQ of 104.4, or just above the Anglo avenge. As slightly favored females with just enough “male” items, Dr. Garcia suggests, the cultural bias can be eliminated they perfectly equalized the IQ’s of male and female. simply by adding Chicano or black items to the test, as “Male and female IQ’s are [now] equal because equality is designers once did for age and sex, as well as through Drdesigned into the test,” Dr. Garcia said. Mercer’s method of holding social background constant. Similarly, “we could easily treat other biosocial subgroups in the same way. When Chicano children score lower than Anglos on a test made of Anglo items there’s no need for debate about hereditary and environmental factors. All we need to to is to write some items that favor Chicanos and blend them properly with Anglo items,” explained Dr. Garcia. Agreeing that the IQ test is “unfair” when it is used on minority groups, psychologist Jane R. Mercer wrote: “A large number of minority persons who can cope very well with the requirements of their daily lives are being labeled mentally retarded [because] they have not had the opportunity to learn the cognitive skills necessary to ... ' ■ ■ — Most like Anglos In tests on minority children. Dr. Mercer found that Chicano children who did well on IQ tests “were more likely to have mothers who expect them to get some college education, have fathers who grew up in cities and who have completed at least ninth grade, and come from home-owning families in which English is spoken most all of the time.” In the same experiment with blacks, she reached the same conclusion; “Black children who have the highest IQ’s also come from families that share characteristics of the average Anglo-American family. What the IQ test measures, to a significant extent, is the child’s exposure to Anglo culture. The more “Anglicized” a non-Anglo child is, the better he does on the IQ test,” Dr. Mercer concluded. Controlling the IQ scores of blacks and Chicanos by holding constant cultural variables, she found black and Chicano IQ scores to be virtually identical to Anglos. But when she didn't hold social background constant, she Breeding equality Psychological tests have revealed that males and females score differently on different types of items. In 1937, the Stanford-Binet designers remedied this problem “Recently, Arthur Jensen, William Shockley and Richard Hcrmstein have put forth claims that they have, with IQ tests, found genetic deficiencies of ‘intelligence” in minority groups,” wrote Dr. Garcia. “They write as if these deficiencies were real manifestations of the biological world; they present IQ data as if it were an unbiased measure of real general intelligence. They have tilted the IQ minor so far that the original biases are magnified in their own distortions.” Dr. Garcia added; “The IQ was not designed to be - Because they v. pass Anglo-oriented intelligence not conform to the typical Anglo, middle-class pattern, she explains, “minority groups suffer as a result of the Anglo, middle-class content of the Jests.” ... IQ abuse inept and attempts . When tell ‘your dangerous. you persons genetics dictate that you cannot make it in this society,’ you must not be surprised if they*suspect that there is a conspiracy to deny them their chance.” In 1971, Willie Griggs, a black worker in North Carolina, sued the Duke Power Company for refusing to allow him and 12 other black employees to be promoted to better jobs unless they got a high school diploma or scored will on a pair of intelligence tests. The U.S. Supreme Court ruled 8-0 that no test or educational requirement can keep a man or woman out of a job unless the test measures the specific talents needed to do that job. The result was millions of dollars in back pay for minority employees. The school system, however, continues to use “aptitude” tests to determine who is placed in “faster” and “slower” classes, and who gets into various colleges and universities, and eventually law and medical schools. The entire Jensen/Shockley argument presupposes that IQ tests are an accurate measure of intelligence. Instead, explains Dr. Mercer, “IQ tests are Anglocentric; they measure the extend to which an individual’s background matches the average cultural pattern of American society.” INANCIAL AID” THEPLANTPARLOUR Applications for 1974 >75 NOW AVAILABLE at 3236 MAIN STREET FINANCIAL AID OFFICE 312 Stockton Kimball TOWER Deadlines tor Returns .

Under the proposed agreement,' the monies realized from the land sale would be put in a trust fund administered by a third party chosen by FSA. The revenufrom this trust fund would be given to Sub-Board 1 as long Sub-Board I are on as FSA. If the FSA Board of Directors decides that Sub-Board I is not representative (presumably by a majority vote, although this is not stated in the agreement), then the general membership of FSA may be convened if thirty days’ notice is given. It would take a 2/3 vote of that body to divert the funds from Sub-Board. Under any circumstances, however, it is required that the proceeds from the trust be used “for the benefit of students.” “This gives a lot of assurance that the money will be going to students,” said Mr. Blumenkrantz. that organization remained “representative” of the student body. Tax refund? Agreement was reached after successful negotiations between Sub-Board Executive Director Steven Blumenkrantz and FSA Secretary Charles Balkin. A by-laws change to incorporate the proposal will be presented to the FSA Board of Directors at tomorrow’s meeting. “It’s not a controversial proposal,” said Mr. Balkin. “We have just gotten together on the wording.’ In a matter related to the Amherst land, former FSA Secretary Tom Schillo presented an oral report at the last FSA meeting on the tax status of the Amherst land v Mr, Schillo was asked to prepare the report after it was alleged that FSA had failed to take advantage of a Town of Amherst ordinance allowing landholders of more than 100 acres who agree not to develop their land for five years, to claim a 25% property tax exclusion. It was also claimed that FSA had paid taxes on 534 acres since purchasing the land in 1964, even though the organization claimed it owned only 505 acres. Mr. Schillo attributed the discrepancy to the methods of land measurement used for the land transactions in New York. According to Mr. Balkin, it was reported that it is not the practice to measure land by acreage but rather by boundaries. “The only way we know how much land there is is if we have an exact survey taken,” said Mr. Balkin. “We are currently having such a survey .” " Earlier objections Earlier in the semester, it appeared that Sub-Board I might oppose the establishment of a trust fund whose revenue could be redirected away from Sub-Board I at the sole discretion of FSA. The proposal drafted by Mr. Blumenkrantz and Mr. Balkin meets this problem by including a special provision for notice of the meeting at which the change will be considered. Under the proposed by-laws amendment, thirty days’ notice must be given before a special membership meeting could be convened to consider a by-laws change. This would give Sub-Board I time to meet with the members of FSA and lobby for its position, according to Mr. Blumenkrantz. The proposed amendment states: “For so long r nc. represents the students at the as Sub-Boa r d State University of New York at Buffalo, the net investment income from the separate Fund established. shall be transmitted to Sub-Board I, Inc., for expenditure for the benefit of students at the State University of New York at Buffalo ...” Any decision as to whether Sub-Board remains “representative” of students will be determined by .. "(Set it tip v ■' > ■ Sang As for the 25% tax savings the organization failed to apply for, Mr. Schillo expressed little hope that the overpayments copld be recovered. Nevertheless, a petition seeking such redress will be filed with the Amherst Town Board. Originally, it was reported that the announcement oflhe tax relief program had been mailed with the tax assessments. However, the Amherst Clerk’s office denied that this had been done. “They then said that public notice had been given because it had been printed in the Amherst Bee," said Mr. Balkin. “1 can’t say that anybody on the Board is an avid reader of that publication.” Bambii Kertzman Communicative class creates involvement by Sheila Kaplan Staff Writer Spectrum The Communicative Creativity course, conceived and directed by Bambii Kertzman, is a “learn-by-experience’ recreational program in which students work with mentally retarded and emotionally disturbed children. enrolled student chooses the type of child he wants to learn about and is assigned accordingly. The child becomes his curriculum for the course. On Sundays, the students meet with their “friends” to engage in some various activities such as cooking, painting, or sports. Involvement is the key factor in this course, Ms. Kertzman commented. The students do not gp each week just to play with the kids, but to give of themselves and try to make a difference in the children’s lives, she said. Students fully acquaint themselves with the Every child’s background by talking with his parents and teachers. True pals The students do not go home each Sunday and forget about their friend. During the week they call their homes to keep up with what is happening in their lives. There are weekly meetings to discuss the progress the students are making with each child. “They are concerned about education. Remembering their own sometimes disappointing education, the students try hard to avoid making the same mistakes with their kids,” Ms. Kertzman pointed out. Communicative Creativity is a four-credit course in the Physical Education department, although Ms. Kertzman feels it would be more aptly grouped with the education courses. About 65 to 70 pecosnt ohlhe students enrolled in the on to do some work in a related field when the course is over, according to Ms. Kertzman. Some students have joined Vista and the Peace Corps; others have started their own service groups, including a legal aid clinic for the disadvantaged. Rapid expansion The program was originated five years ago under now-defunct College A and has grown from 20 to 200 students and friends, maintaining a one-to-one ratio. It is supported with a $5000 budget from President Robert Ketter, who is very enthusiastic about the program. The Communicative Creativity course is in danger, however. Currently they store their equipment in Clark Hall, and transport it to Norton Hall each Sunday morning. Due to a lack of transportation, they cannot continue doing this, and must find a place on ope of the three State University of Buffalo campuses in which they can store the equipment and hold the program on Sundays. Ms. Kertzman is looking into the possibility of moving to the Ridge Lea Campus at the suggestion of Harry Fritz, of the School of Health Education. Ms. Kertzman hopes Dean find a place soon, but is optimistic some solution will be to found. Wesley Foundation Says % «.a.

Regents Scholarship winners will still forteit their awards if they attend college outside New York State. The law was challenged by a Princeton University student who qualified for a Regents Scholarship in 1971 but received no award because he chose to attend college in New Jersey In drafting his own appeal to the high court, he claimed he was denied equal treatment with other scholarship winners who attended New York schools and that this restricted his constitutional right to interstate travel. A three-judge district court originally denied the student's request for damages and an injunction against the scholarship limitation. It maintained the State’s “historic objective” of strengthening private education in New York as an alternative to low-tuition public schools has not been outdated. The Supreme Court unanimously affirmed this ruling, contending that the scholarship money should be invested in New York to help its Colleges meet their operating expenses. Between 1972 to 1973, 66,000 Regents Scholarship winners wed their Regents Scholarship. Their awards totaled $283 million. Last year 7,200 students declined the awards which average $450. Thoogh some of the awards were declined by students not attending college, roost of those refusing assistance went to out-of-state Committees concentrate on maiden name recognition by laoqid Schock Spectrum Staff Writer Any woman who tries to retain or regain her maiden name after getting married quickly becomes aware of overwhelming bureaucratic and social obstacles to using any name but her husband’s. Only Hawaii has a statute specifically requiring a woman to assume her husband’s name. In every other state, the common-law that one has the right to assume any name one chooses, provided there is no fraud intended should prevail. In New York a wife is free to use her own name. There are no New York laws that require a woman to re-register her automobile or get a new driver’s license when she marries. According to the New York Law of Domestic Relations, “Upon entering the marital status, the wife becomes entitled to use her husband’s surname. Her use of his surname is discretionary, and in this day of woman’s participation in commerce, art, industry and the professions, it is not rare that married women retain the use of their maiden names after marriage.” “Women all over the country have difficult) in using their own names after marriage. The [present-day] purpose of die league is to educate women to the fact that they are legally entitled to use their own name, since a great many women still aren’t aware of this,” explained Roby Lyle, president of the Lucy Stone League.

In the 1970’s, the practice of retaining one’s own name is gaining momentum through such organizations as the Lucy Stone League and the American Civil Liberties Union. The Lucy Stone League was founded in 1921, after the passage of the women’s suffrage amendment, by Ruth Hale, a woman rightly “obsessed” with the right to use her own name. The League’s motto was coined by Ms. Stone: “My name is the symbol of my identity which must not be lost.” The league aimed at establishing the legal right of a married woman to use hew own name. Ruth Hate was a New York journalist who in 1917 married Heywood Broun. If anyone addressed Buffalo’s first authentic coffeehouse since c. 1649 her as Mis.

In this part, by Bruce Engel Contributing Editor By the last day of my Plimptonian insanity, the whole thing was starting to dominate my mind. There was a feeling, not really nervousness (I wasn’t very nervous because I had nothing to lose), but a great and pervading sense of difference. All of a sudden I was a wrestler, or at least, I would be wrestling. 1 was part of a strange new world. 1 felt apart from my friends as we sat down to a midnight Thanksgiving feast the night before the match. I kept saying to myself: “What am 1 doing here? I have to wrestle tomorrow,” just as if I were a real athlete in serious training. I ate so much turkey, stuffing and I-don’t-know-what-elsc that I woke up the day of the match feeling hung over, even though I hadn’t had a drop to drink. After a light breakfast, I noticed the first of two bad omens. The night before, one of my friends, now fast asleep, had pulled his car in the driveway, blocking my car’s acess to the street, had pulled his car in the driveway, blocking my car’s access to the street. God was telling me not to go ahead with this. Instead, 1 just got my friends keys, pulled the old switcheroo and was off. Before describing the rest of my eventful day, one on which I could have gotten arrested for impersonating an athlete, two loose ends should be tied up. Light or heavy? First of all, I had come to the conclusion that 1 could justify to myself, as well as others, cither shaving or not shaving for the match. So I figured 1 might as well keep it, seeing as how that’s what I really wanted and it seemed so silly to hsave. I was little concerned I really wanted and it seemed so silly to shave. I was little concerned been asking when I would shave.) I was a bit disturbed at first to find that no one really cared. Not a soul said a word about it that day or since. And after I’d been nearly traumatized by it! Slowly, 1 came to realize that this is how it should be; it never should have been an issue. I have yet to mention who my opponent would be. This had been a touchy point all week. In fairness to me, Michael was trying to determine who on the team would in other words, who was the give me the closest match weakest possible wrestler on the team. And it had to be someone reasonably close to my weight. If I were to wrestle someone heavier, even if he were really bad, 1 would be both out-wrestled and out-weighed, a double disadvantage. But if 1 were to wrestle the worst of the lightest guys (118-pounders), it would not only look silly but, on the slim chance that I did something right, 1 might lightr tr lent. be ** danr — . A“ few names were kicked around, but the final selection was Mace Coleman, a 134-pound,freshman from suburban East Aurora. Without a weigh-in, Mace would come it at about 140 and I’d only have 20 pounds on him. Frankly, Coleman is not very good. However, Coach Michael warned me, he was aggressive and wouldn’t hold back against me. When he came into the locker room to get dressed, Michael said: “Are you psyched, Mace?” Coleman didn’t reply. “Mace won’t need to be psyched,” 1 said, and he didn’t. I drew my uniform from the equipment room, right before alumni wrestler Ted Lawson. Lawson, a superb 142-pounder, knew me from last year when he graduated. “Are you going to wrestle?” he asked. “Yeah. It kind of cheapens the experience, doesn’t it?" I replied. Lawson Just laughed a little, the same laugh as the time he beat me for three bucks in a poker game. 1 had to go back and get a shirt, as it was not included in the original uniform I received. That was bad omen number two. 1 had forgotten how much there was to a wrestling uniform jock, socks, tights, shirt that buttons under the crotch, shorts that go over the tights, headgear and warm-up suits. Sometimes I think wrestling should be an outdoor sport. It felt good to wear the tight-fitting, bright blue outfit. I looked pretty good in it. At least 1 thought so. 1 could feel eyes looking at me as if I were someone important. — On deck 1 got a feeling of team spirit as we started to warm up before the match. It is customary for a team to warm up to music in front of the crowd. Scott Stever, class of ’70 and alumni captain, had brought in some tunes from several years back for the alumni to warm up to. By this time I was so much in my own little world that 1 didn’t even hear them. My match was the last on the program. I tried to keep warmed up. During the week, Michael had impressed the team with the importance of a vigorous warm-up, and 1 was determined to be as prepared as possible. In the back of my mind, in my hope of all hopes, was the thought that this could increase my chances from none to slim. I did numerous calisthenics, stretching exercises and high-kicking sprints, designed to relieve the soreness in my legs My team spirit got stronger and stronger, especially as some of' the guys 1 knew took the mat. Roy Guarino, John Kopalck, Lawson, Stever, Eric Knuutila, and finally the exciting Bert Ernst, who had a close match with the varsity’s Charlie Wright. After Bert’s match, just two before mine, I became absorbed in my own thoughts and hardly watched Tony Policare’s heavy-weight match. •Stay off your back’ Our coach, former varsity mentor Bob Wilson, wasn’t much help, 1 asked him if he had any suggestions. He told mt to stay off my back. I had figured that much out for myself, though I was skeptical of my ability to last for the duration of my impending three-minute bout. As Policare’s match ended, 1 started to shed my warm-up suit. 1 wanted to look cool, so 1 went out on the mat a fashionable few seconds after Mace did. I ran out to the encouragement ofmy teammates, only to notice that I had forgotten my headgear. I guess I was more mervous than 1 thought. After 1 went back for the headgear, we shook hands and the match began. The actual match was an anticlimax. For all that 1 knew and all that I had learned during the week, I did very little. Jim Young’s advice, that as an inexperienced wrestler I should be defensive on the feet and let my opponent shoot a takedown first, stuck in the back of my mind. I was scared to initiate a move for fear of being countered. I only realized after the match that this was the wrong attitude. I was doing this for the sheer joy of trying something, and as it turned out, I tried very little. Missed pancake 1 didn’t have to wait long before Mace shot in on me. I held my own for the first two of his offensives. The secon;time 1 even started to set up a pancake, a spectacular move in which one slams one’s opponent down to the mat right on to his back. It’s a risky move, however, and During the week, Michael had impressed the team with the importance of A few seconds later, Mace got ahold of my left leg and was not to be denied. Seeing he had me this time, I went to go out of bounds before he could finish the move and be awarded the points. But he received two points for a takedown just before I struggled out of bounds. I looked up at the clock. What seemed like an eternity had only been 38 seconds. I was two points down, in the bottom position and starting to get tired. I spent the remaind :r f the match in the bottom position, trying vainly to escape or crawl out of bounds to stay out of trouble. But the only move I knew well enough to try was a simple standup, control his hands and run. Before 1 could stand up, Mace hooked my left leg with his right and then broke me down to the mat. It was hard enough to work up to my knees, and impossible to get my leg free to stand up. I felt helpless. From wrestler to reporter With about ten seconds left in the second period, the inevitable happened. I can proudly say I was fighting it all the way, but once he started to roll me over, 1 was through. 1 thought maybb 1 could last till the end of the period. Then 1 would be on top the last period and could probably avoid getting pinned. But it was not to be. notice that I had forgotten my headgear. 1 guess I was more nervous than threw a tantrum. I took off the headgear and threw it down violently. I walked around gloomily, kicking things every now and then. In a few minutes, I calmed down. I was made, not at having lost, but at having done so very little. What a waste all the practice was if 1 was going to wrestle like that. The match being over, I resumed my role as reporter. I only had one question for one person. Reporter: “Mace, were you insulted when the coach asked you to wrestle me?” Coleman: “Well, I’m realistic about it. The coach has been fair. He gave everyone the same chance. I know where I stand on the team.” I knew where I stood too. .’rS ■Deceml>er*T973 VTKe'SJfccWUm rPageUfaie �Op art New York’s aesthetic art by Erich E. Rassow Spectrum Art Critic New York Vacation time is usually spent with at least one day designated for sludging around and visiting the art galleries in the city. Everyone can just about predict the effect of making it to the main line museums, buying a few post cards and other ditties, and perhaps indulging in contemplation at one of the museum restaurants. Relaxed by the sound of the water fountains at the Metropolitan or stilled by the quiet imperturbable position of statuary in the sculpture court at the Modern, this potential Zeitgeist of food, thought and art is usually subsumed in a mixed confusion of cafeteria clatter, prices, table space, and the momentary loss of visionary involvement connected with the details of either getting out of the city or find the next place listed on the travel agenda. To cure these highway blues, here’s an itinerary that will take you uptown and down and which might give you a taste of the variety of things which are in New York. Get involved in the art and not in its externalities. Pace Gallery 32 E 57th 57th Street is the blud ribbon street for those collectors attempting to countenance a modern art style and yet deal with its uncertain tentative character. The big emporium of op art” Denise Rene has a branch on the west side of the street. The Emmerich and Marlborough are listed there and they represent such artists as Helen Frankenthaler, Tony Caro and Adolph ‘ Gottlieb. Of all the name galleries on that street the one which seems to stick its plummage. out the furthest (s the Pace Gallery. They are still not, nor will they ever be, in the complete hit or miss situation of a true downtown gallery such as O.K. Harris (more miss than hit) but they do extend themselves toward the idea of thought art. The Albright-Knox bought a couple of monuments from them, the glass room of Lucas Samaras and the recent, aggressively bristling, sculpture by Dubuffet. In other words there is a kind of assurance in doing business on that street which both be used to completely destroy the aesthetic harmony of whatever aesthetic harmony was in the bounds of that empty gallery. In a rather unorthodox reverse way this idea coincides with his thought on getting away from making objects. We look elsewhere in an interpretation of environment and function that completely disguises the implacable nature of the wall. Finally it exists but under the rarefied perception that compels us to consider its more serious nature. It’s dimensions, edges, and corners, rise and fall, dissolves and reappears, as white blends into white rendering it a part of the gallery, the gallery pait of a greater white substance, and the white substance as an idea of infinite white. The object nature of the wall never really seems to exist.

Photographers see in this movement a continued rationalization for plugging away at the documentary still life study Nothing can be further from the truth The limitations of photography are so clearly pointed out by these paintings that any comparison, except on the most superficial level, is really at best a misconstrued source of second hand information or at worst a kind of picture politiking. Claude Monet was, in his way, a photo-realist. He taught us to see natural light effects as clusters of light reflectors making up individual objects. Another artist, Joseph Raffael, who was exhibited at the Nancy Hoffman Gallery last month, took these ideas and gave palpable substance to reflective quality. His “water" paintings make you feel the density in the swirling eddies of water of streams and ponds; the recognition of which is usually camouflaged by environmental distractions such as smell. Jerry Ott at the Meisel Gallery takes another step using the scientific visual method of photo-realism to capture the internal luminescence of reflctive materials. In addition to the commanding presence and stature of the figures, we quickly start concentrating on the reflective objects within the painting. The drapped clear vinyl sheets strung from a clothes line or the stretches of metal which back the figures emanate as if photons of energy are sensuously cast about within the contained skin of the material. The direction of energy is lateral to the picture plane and we get a fast luminescent sliding motion, making for an extremely labile perceived reflection. Try and make visits to these two galleries. They could be encouraging institutions for the state of art and maybe yourself.

A device for exam-preparation that Hart uses throughout the film is a study group. The group consists of five students, including Hart.

Once — Uonto*simply — about what he was bankrolling. But instead of concentrating on becoming expert in selecting the best movie to do and the proper director to do it, Thompson sees himself as a kind of pseudo-director. — Took many cooks... It is no cheap exaggeration to say that the people involved in making the film are similar to the fellows in Hart’s study-group. Each of them has a different idea of what the movie is about. Instead of making harmonious music, their notions blare with aimless dissonance. Run-in He wants to make all kinds of theatrical decisions that arc in the director’s domain. The reason that he does not simply become a director is easy he can’t. By his own admission, he is too unfamiliar with the form, technique, and grammar of film. Instead of taking time to learn his craft, he sees producing as a short-cut to directing. Formerly, it was as if the director conducted the “orchestra” while the producer footed the bill for the instruments. Now, producer and director struggle on the podium for the baton. And, by the way, Thompson has a producing partner (a Mr. Paul) so it is really a 3-way fight between the two producers and director Jim Bridges. As if this weren’t bad enough, the film is based on a book by John Jay Osborn Jr., so now we have an author’s intention to contend with as well. This struggle - ‘Tim, your acting has a very natural quality,” and they were right. But Bottoms is natural in a very folksy way. His character (Hart) calls for someone a little quirky with a pronounced intellectual bent. The explosion of words seem out-of-place in Bottoms’ mouth. When Hart’s girlfriend asks, him “Why the hell can’t you just do things? Why do impulses and his scenes almost work. Without the charm of Bottoms or the judgment of Houseman, the directionless minor characters (with the wonderful exception of a carrot-chewing tutor) are left to become stick-figures neither amusing parodies nor genuine — personalities. Most of this might have been forgiven if the movie had been either pure fun or if it really had something to say not some dumb message like in Guess Who’s Coming To Dinner but a feeling of what people and their world is about like in (dare it be said?) a work of art. Instead of worrying about whether to make a film for the people or for the critics (whose good reviews bring the people, anyway) would it be too ; - it gets them there, it takes no responsdrility for what it does with them. Perfect mo vie-titles seldom happen. The Paper Chase, scheduled to a pronounced intellectual bent. The explosion of words seems out-of-place perfect title.

While boring and alienating its students actually prisoners are legally forced to be in school with rules and regulations, piles of meaningless facts to be regurgitated, and a rigid diet of five subjects, the system cannot conceive that learning could actually take place outside its walls. Knowledge is force-fed by teachers and textbooks to adequately prepare students for the real world. Why, then, does preparation for the "real" world exclude any actual experience in that world? Several logical and proposals for improving what is now a high school prison system have been made by the National Commission on Reform of Secondary Schools. Pint, they recognize that the rigid school curriculum, designed for a uniform mass of acquiescent zombies, must be made flexible to meet individual needs. Criteria must be loose enough to allow individuals to explore diverse areas and determine their own interests and abilities on an independent course. They advise that students be allowed to receive credit for out-of-school experiences and job training. While many traditional educators are sure to detest the idea, what could be more educational than actual job experience? Employment laws should be revamped to allow younger students to work for school credit, and dropouts should be able to earn diplomas by receiving credit for work wpcricnc6 An entire college education, not just two years as recommended, should be guaranteed every student who wants one, although two years would be a good start. But college is meaningless for many students who have no career direction and are basically in school because they have nothing better to do. They are quite surprised when they graduate, 128 — — “Now, Once More credits in hand, and find no better alternatives than when they entered. One way to correct this trend is to offer comprehensive, individualized vocational guidance at the high school level. Students should be made aware that their purpose in school is to find a meaningful field for themselves, not simply to fulfill requirements, pass the Regents and go on to the next level. Everyone shouldn't go to college vocational schools would be a far better alternative for many than plodding thrombi to a meaningless liberal arts degree and those that do go on to college should have some idea of the areas in which they want to concentrate. — — Independent study and flexible courses at both the high school and college levels will leave many options open by enabling a student to determine his interests far better than the present rigidity of "requirements." Integrating job experience and out-of-school endeavors with standard classroom fare can only make education that much more real and relevant. Lowering the compulsory school age from 16 to 14 (as recommended) is a good idea in theory; but instituting it at the present time would in fact place thousands of kids on the streets, unable to find jobs but unwilling to tolerate the mind-numbing conformity of high school. But if the essentially exciting process of learning can become more flexible and individualized, if the rigid high school classrooms which now stifle any creative thought can be reformed and expanded then the "compulsory" school age might feasibly be lowered. The fact that our high schools have become custodial institutions for adolescents whom we must force to attend only underscores the urgent need to reform an antiquated system. — War with honor Those that the Indochina War did touch those of draft age whom the directly Pentagon sought for their death machine burned draft cards, marched on Washington, made every effort to dramatize the immorality of the Vietnam War to a rfisinterested public. Yeats of moratoriums, nitwit after night of televised atrocity, finally succeeded in turning the public against the war. But it still wasn't enough. Even after peace was "at hand," a numb nation silently watched the nightmarish terror bombing of Hanoi and Haiphong last Christmas destroying dikes, annihilating people, and the most symbolic inhumanity decimating Bach Mai Hospital. Finally, Henry Kissinger 'negotiated a piece of paper which enabled the U5. to cut its losses and get out of Indochina under a face-saving package stamped "peace with honor." We left because we could not win the war; we negotiated not a peace but a withdrawal. We continued to bomb Cambodia, but Congress finally legislated an end to even that detached form of death-dealing. This Christmas, Americans are worrying about matters that affect them the energy crisis ("No gas for my directly car?"), inflation ("Can we afford steak this week?**), Watergate ("Will Gerald Ford become President?"). Vietnam? That was last — — — — — year's trauma. Nothing could be further from the truth. Fighting in Vietnam has steadily risen until it now surpasses the level of pre-"cease-fire" hostilities and is ominously approaching all-out war. But as the Vietnamese, however violently, attempt to resolve their own problems, ostensibly without American interference, remember this; South Vietnam President Nguyen Van Thieu is an American-supported dictator. He has silenced all opposition newspapers, and is holding thousands of political opponents prisoner in brutal tiger cages, built right here in the U.S.A. and shipped to Saigon for Thieu's perverted uses. Gen. Thieu rules by sheer force with an American-financed military machine. Considering Chile, Greece and a host of other reactionary military regimes supported by American business interests, the dictatorship in South Vietnam is not surprising except, perhaps, if you believed the myth that the reason 45,000 Americans were killed, thousands more were wounded and populated cities were bombed daily was to preserve democracy in Indochina. Tens of thousands of young people who refused to kill for their government are in exile, in hiding or in jail this Christmas. No reconstruction funds to rebuild Bach Mai Hospital and war-tom Vietnam ever passed Congress, but U.S. shipments of arms and tiger cages continue unabated so a U.S.-supported dictator can "fight Communism." Gasless Sundays and chilly apartments are the central American worries this winter. If mass destruction didn't give them indigestion after Christmas dinner last'year, this year's human suffering Asian or Anrjerican doesn't stand a chance. — — — Page twelve The Spectrum Wednesday, 12 December 1973 . IRC fees: why? To the Editor H S > People kwe to look the other way. By simply refusing to acknowledge reality, they can avoid accepting any responsibility. This characteristic was highly evident most of the years of the Vietnam War. Since the mass destruction was being inflicted on a tiny Asian nation thousands of miles away, there was no need to dwell on it. If reports from My Lai or films of B-52 carpet bombings threatened to intrude into Watch Cloael Last September I paid my I R C. dues ($26, 1 recall), and now 1 am wondering what these dues paid for. Or rather, what benefits I am receiving that non-members are not. To attend an I.R.C. sponsored movie, one must be an I.R.C. member or the ‘guest’ of one, so I wouldn’t really need a card for that. I attended an I.R.C. movie recently, and no-one even asked to see my card anyway. Paying for the movies would total less than $26. I.R.C. sponsored functions other than movies seem to be few and far between. The I R C. discount flights seem to be poorly organised, if not non-existant. I noticed an ad in The Spectrum (Dec. 5) stating that the Student Association is offering discount flights for Christmas. What then, is the purpose of I.R.C.? Are there things going on that I don’t know about? Where did my $26 go? - — - Denise IS’. Tillar Recycling helps To the Editor. Efforts mentioned in President Nixon’s proposals to meet the ever increasing energy crisis embodied ideas of reducing present use of energy crisis embodied ideas of reducing present use of energy supplies and increasing alternative energy supplies. Unfortunately, almost all measures to be taken are directed against the individual not corporations or commerical enterprises. Many - measures advocated will increase the destruction of our environment. The assumption that President Nixon is making, is that in the short and long haul, preservation of the environment and sufficient energy supplies are conflicting goals. Therefore he has chosen such courses of action as strip mining and use of higher polluting fuels. The Environmental Action Committee believes that preservation of the natural environment should be of the utmost concern and sound alternatives to energy supplies be created which are cohgruent with this goal. Solar heating is one potential alternative which has been used in the South to both heat and cool homes. A G.M. plant in Detroit burns more unrecyclable paper for heat or electricity. Moreover, it is wise to employ many more recycling techniques It takes twenty times as much energy to produce aluminum ore as it does to remelt it and recycle it. It takes 1.2 tons of coal to produce one ton of steel This figure could be reduced through the use of scrap steel.

Environmental Action Committee �PLP Guest Editorial To the Editor. When the students at Staten Island Community College shouted down William Shockley and ran him off the campus because he advocates genocide, The Deny racists a free hand To the Editor. After students at Staten Island Community College stopped the racist Prof. Shickley, The New York Times had an editorial titled “Mobs as Censors’.’ which began “The disruptive demonstrators who prevented Dr. William Shockley from addressing a public forum are guilty of subverting the Bill of Rights and academic freedom.” The mere fact that the N.Y. Times (Number one U.S. ruling class mouthpiece) went to the length of printing this editorial shows how worried they and their masters are about the “concerted nationwide campaign” to fight racism. Far from criticizing racist theories, the N.Y. Slime has been a major force in building them. They never call Shockley a racist, and they have been printing Arthur Jensen’s racist ... garbage every chance they get. As for the nonsense about the Bill of Rights and academic freedom: The rulers of the U.S. never nesitate one second to violate their own Bill of Rights and academic freedom when it comes to attacking the workers and students of the world: 1) What did the government have to say about “academic freedom” when they burned, bombed, shot, tortured, and imprisoned millions of Vietnamese, Cambodieans, and Laotians? They obviously considered their needs to dominate S.E. Asia more important. 2) What did they have to say about the Bill of Rights after machine-gunning, beating and jailing black people in rebellions throughout the U.S. in the 1960’s. 3) The U.S. backed generals in Chile squelched ALL freedoms with U.S. supplied weapons. This business about “Academic Freedom” for racists is a cheap government sponsored fraud to disarm the anti-racist movement. We are only given as much “academic freedom” as the ruling class decides they want us to have at a particular time. But at this point, some people may still insist that even if “academic freedom” doesn’t really exist for us, why should we ourselves deny academic freedom to anybody? Well, first of all we are not just denying academic freedom to “anybody.” We are denying it to those who would use it as a cover to popularize racist theories which have nothing to do with science or honest academic research whatsoever. In spite of the fact that Shockley has a Nobel Prize for the transistor, Stanford University had to admit that he had no credentials in the field of genetics and therefore couldn’t teach his racial theories for credit. The rebuttals of many authentic scientists against the lies of Shockley and Jensen have somehow failed to get the publicity and endorsement of the government and mass media which has been given to Shockley and Jensen. We are attempting to reverse the present efforts of the rulers to build racism by stopping their propaganda machines from functioning, i.e. racist professors, textbooks, magazines, etc. Certainly debating and academically exposing racism and racist theories is crucial, but allowing the racists a free hand to organize is quite another thing. Students for a Democratic Society Buffalo New York Times screamed “Mobs as Censors” and The Spectrum warned of a “Frightening Trend.” We in Progressive Labor Party hail those students and call for more of the same wherever racist organizers show their faces. The N. Y. Times and The Spectrum can shout all they want about Shockley’s right to free speech, and about the “fascist tactics” of the radicals, but the fact remains that the ruling class is quite openly using professors like Shockley, Jensen, and Herrnstein to establish racism and genocide as “viable alternatives” and “legitimate scientific theories” within the universities and among intellectuals. And its not because there’s been any “new research and data’ discovered, but because U.S. imperialism is declining and it needs racism to carry out more and more wage freezes, budget cuts, and greater profit making attacks on the working class, the same way the German capitalists split the working class with anti-Semitism in the 1930’s. The ruling class has set in motion the first phase of an enormous racist propoganda campaign using the Big Lie technique Hitler invented. The Big'Lie is that blacks are either genetically or environmentally an inferior race. There is absolutely zero evidence for this. (Since- Prof. Rising at UB says there is such evidence, we challenge him to a public debate anytime he wants.) But lack of evidence didn’t stop Hitler, and its not stopping the U.S. rulers from inundating us with “blacks are inferior” articles in scores of magazines including the Harvard Educational Review, Psychology Today, Atlantic Monthly, The Humanist (published by U B. Prof. Paul Kurtz) and the New York Times Magazine. Prof. Jensen and his disciples like Shockley, who rely exclusively on doctored up “data” (Jensen actually lies about the source of his data-) and scientific doubletalk to “prove’ balcks are genetically inferior, are being hailed as great scientists by the Wall Street Journal, and the New York Times. The Big Lie technique is to parade these proponents of the Master Race theory before the entire public. The strength of this kind of propoganda, however, dear defenders of free speech for racists, depends entirely on stressing to the public that Jensen, Shockley and co. are not just crackpots, but fully respectable scientists from prestigious university faculties scientists whose theories are politely listened to at university symposiums, debates, etc., whose theories are published in scientific journals and even in — textbooks used by their colleagues at major universities. It is very very foolish to believe that when Shockley and co. publish textbooks and give speeches at universities, that they arc simply trying to win some debates before some raltiyely small college audiences. Of course they wouldn’t mind convincing their immediate college audiences, but their PRIMARY purpose is to be publicly identified as full fledged and respected members of the academic community; whether they win the local debate or not is, from the point of view of the national propoganda campaign, IRRELEVANT to them!! They want the master race theory to be respected as a scientific hypothesis worthy of discussion in the best universities. Once this is accomplished, the mass media will do the rest by publicizing the racists and ignoring all the true scientiests who disagree. Free speech for racists (and NOT “winning debates”) is the KING PIN of the whole Big Lie technique. That’s why the ruling class owned N.Y. Times has already had several editorials frantically attacking PLP and defending Shockley’s right to speak on campuses (and not even calling him a racist, by the way). If the Shockleys and their racist textbooks are tolerated whatsoever in the universities, it will be a tremendous victory for the ruling class effort to legitimize racism in the eyes of the public at large. When The Spectrum argues that “In time Jensen’s and Shockley’s theories of genetic inferiority will be scientifically exposed” (as if they hadn’t already] if only free speech is allowed to prevail for the racists, they show their complete ignorance of how a Big Lie propoganda campaign works. Those who clamor about freedom of speech and “fascist tactics” should ask themselves if they want to defend the actual implementation of a national racist propoganda campaign that would warm the hearts of Himmler and Goebbels. Because defending the “right” of racists to parade their filth as if it were scientific research is exactly what the ruling class needs in order to get their racist campaign off the ground. Why in the world should we help them????? The ruling class will pusluracist propoganda and carry out racist atrocities NOT until they are “proven womg,” but until they are physically stopped by acyions like the students at S.I.C.C. took against Shockley, and ultimately by a violent of workers and others to destroy the capitalist ruling class and every scrap of their racist propoganda once and for all. revolution Progressive Labor Party Bananas in the ear To the Editor. After a period of time of observing the grand for freedom of expression by radicals, reactionaries, liberals, and what have you, one common element seems clear: Everyone has bananas in their ears. These are metaphorical bananas, of course, but they are bananas none the less. The latest example of this has been the PLP, whose ears are plugged with racist bananas. Try to tell them about the effectiveness of open debate in destroying Jensenism. Try to tell them why we can’t treat Maddox like he’d treat us. It won’t get through. The only thing that penetrates those bananas is the word “racism,” so that’s all they hear. Similarly, many people in government (now including Nixon’s Court) have sexual bananas in their ears. (Don’t let any psychiatrists read this.) Tell Atlanta about artistic fight merit in Carnal Knowledge, talk about sprawling lines waiting to see Deep Throat in Buffalo (those people must not have been part of the community so they had no standards to be offended), or even try to read them the Bill of Rights (remember that funny looking yellow wrinkled paper), its all going to filter through those bananas as “sex.” Of course, the insidious thing about all these bananas is that no one will listen to you if you tell them. After all, you can’t hear anything with bananas in your ears. There are other bananas (cosmic bananas, sacred bananas, political bananas etc.) which I don’t have room to mention. Everyone has them, and, like 1 said, are blissfully unaware of their presence. In conclusion, an old song comes to mind, “Yes, we have no bananas, we have no bananas today . . .

Insiders say the appointment of former Fac-Sen President Ketter protege Bill Baumer is only the first step to easing the much-maligned mathematician out of the Administration ... Why? People “in the know” discount talk of faculty dissatisfaction, student disgust and Bemie’s distaste for doing Ketter’s academic They say Ketter’s giving him the dirty work ax because Bemie’s chic purple handball shorts won him the “Administration’s Best Dressed Athlete” award over Ketter’s darling grey jogging togs and Jon Dandes’ fashionable karate uniform Congratulations to Carol Stykes and Rich Mascara on their engagement... Carol, the darling of Student Association, was positively radiant at the announcement Friday And the Midnight everyone remembers Rich Cowboy of the SA office and his exploits with former SA President Debbie Benson at the final Executive Committee meeting last March... It looks as if Rich is going to settle down, but don’t count on it... And speaking of the redoubtable Ms. Benson, we note that once again “Ms. Action,” as her friends know her, remains unconnected with any political, sexual or personal scandals ... What is she hiding? Who is covering up? And why? What prominent SA politico, in the name of “better community relations,” misspelled his own name on the impeachment petition that appeared in Sunday’s Courier-Express'? “John” indeed!

Answer: All of them... Seriously though, folks, this is my last column for the semester. Have a Merry Christmas, Happy Channukah or whatever, do plenty of studying this week, get plenty of relaxation over the holidays and may your gas tank never be dry.

The Buffalo Attica Defense Committee is helping to organize this feast. We urge you all to give up a small part of your Christmas and share it, in the form of a donation, with the Attica Brothers. We will have a table set up in Norton Union on Tues„ Wed. and Thurs., December 11-13. We will be there to collect your contributions and to rap to you about Attica. On Monday, the 26th of November, Martin Sostre was again brutally beaten deep inside the walls of Clinton Prison. This time there were sixteen guards in the goon squad to force Martin to submit to the inhuman rectal examination. Seeing all these goons and fully knowing the consequences, Martin once again refused to submit to this dehumanizing and degrading policy of the Rockefeller prison administration. Martin was being taken to court in Plattsburg by ‘mistake’’ because an assistant District Attorney placed another prisoner’s letter (requesting to be brought to court for assignment of counsel) in Martin’s file. They are no longer content to beat him on his regular court appearances, now they make up excuses to get him. On Thanksgiving morning, one of the Attica Brothers, Otis McGaughy, was severely burned in his cell in Auburn Prison due to improper actions and incompetence of the guards. Sixteen of the indicted Attica Brothers are being illegally held in the solitary confinement section (euphemistically referred to by Rockefeller’s prison administration as the Special Housing Unit). At about 9 in the morning a fire of mysterious origin broke out in Otis’ cell. The average cell in a solitary unit is about 5 feet by 7 feet with 3 solid walls and a barred front wall. Otis tried to put the fire out himself but was unsuccessful and he screamed for help. Instead of letting him out of the cell and then putting the fire out, the guards did it the other way around. They showed their racist and inhuman opinion of prisoners by leaving him inside of the cell to burn while they tried to put out the fire. At .first they tried to use one hose but it was too short, so they had to run for another and hook it up and then deal with the fire. Meanwhile, Otis was forced to stay inside of the cell for IS minutes and roast. This is the third fire in SHU since Dec. 1972. What kind of people keep other people in cages and don’t even have the proper facilities to prevent them from burning alive inside their cages! What kind of society calls for this kind of treatment in the name of rehabilitation! When he finally was let out, he was locked in another cell for another 10 minutes before he was taken to the inadequate prison hospital. The flames never touched Otis but the heat was so intense that he has third degree burns over 40% of his body, tine of his ears is almost totally destroyed. Otis is a very gifted and creative artist and he may never paint again because of the severe burns to his hands. We ask our people not in prison to buy one less Xmas gift for each other, and donate the price of that gift to the Attica Brothers Defense Fund Christmas Fast, c/o Attica Defense, 1370 Main St., Buffalo, N.Y. 14209. - ecitations clarified To the Editor For the sake of clarification, I felt it necessary on the article “Former students to instruct recitations” in .the December 3rd The Spectrum. On just the superficial level, the title, as well as the author’s use'ST tense, implies that the Childhood and Adolescensc Student Teaching Program has not yet begun, while in fact the Program was instituted at the initiation of this semester’s classes. As for my role, I am coordinator of the Program, that is I keep things moving as smoothly and accurately as possible, and am not the “coordinator of the teaching assistants,” who are quite capable of their own coordination. As for “keeping tabs on each section to make them as uniform as possible,” my function is primarily one of basic organization, such as time met and scheduling of lecturers and films, while Dr. Solkoff reviews the quality of the sections, of which he is quite satisfied, based on written reports submitted weekly by each of the teaching assistants. Furthermore, Dr. Solkoff and all of the TAs meet once a week to discuss their experience and hopefully improve the quality of their methods. The author states that Dr. Solkoff and myself felt that the current bases for selection of the assistants is “insufficient” and that in the future there will be interviews “used to screen qualified applicants," as well as a reduction in the number of assistants. However, he failed to note that such statements were made in respect to a similar program being established for Abnormal Psychology next semester, the issues of which tend to be more delicate than those of Childhood and Adolescence, and require extensive knowledge, practical experience, and finesse on the part of the teachers. The evaluative comments made at the end of the article are based V ., f f'T i’m r .jriTt-; i\’ to comment Page fourteen The Spectrum Wednesday, . . on responses from less than a dozen students; quite an improper sample from a population of over 400. In order to make such an assessment of the Program, proper sampling techniques with a targe enough sample from the total population must be utilized, otherwise such an evaluation is invalid and inaccurate. A proper qualification will be made once the final evaluation questionnaires are assessed. In an educational system where learning and creativity have been sacrificed to fierce competition and dehumanization, a program such as ours is essential for the individual student to maintain a feeling of self. There is no doubt that the crowding of 400 students into a lecture hall three times a week can be a horrifying experience. The program was established to resurrect the learning experience one of the more beautiful aspects of the program is that the environment in each recitation section is a function of the individual assistant’s teaching method, as well as the individual needs and desires of the students. Each section is therefore unique a comfortable, hopefully exciting setting is provided differently in each section. The program is the first of its type for such a large class; furthermore, the 15 sections are optional, and exist for the individual student and teacher to delve deeper into the subject matter and explore aspects of childhood psychology not covered in the lectures hence the experience allows for impromptu creativity on the part of both the teachers (who are undergraduates), and students. All those involved thus play vital roles in dynamic inter-personal relationships, i.e., the sections were designed for 15 students per instructor. Our primary aim then, is to bring the presently stranded student out of the claws of competition adit anonymity and free he/her to achieve that which is important for re-establishment of self. - — - ta*W ■ 12 December 1973 - Steven Weinberg Buffalo Attica Defense Committee Smear tactics? To the Editor. The December 7 The Spectrum contained an account of the exclusion of members of the Revolutionary Communist Youth from the Attica Brigade’s presentation of a slide show on modern China. Your article quoted a Brigade member as saying, “They (the RCY) always try to disrupt our meetings ans wreck everything with their political debating.” This is the standard tactic of smear and falsification to avoid politics which we have come to expect from the Attica Brigade. The RCY does not disrupt meetings. As the Attica Brigade knows we always agree to abide by the discipline of the public meetings we attend. The Attica Brigade however presentes us with the spectacles of a political organization which seeks to avoid political debate. Their statement indicates their real motives for the exclusion of the RCY; rather than defend themselves politically they attempt to isolate political oppdnents physically. This reflects their inability to provide a socialist alternative to the crisis of capitalist society. The RCY understands the necessity for the fullest possible debate of the issues facing the working-class movement. This is the only method by which the workers movement can achieve maximum political clarity on its historic task of socialist revolution. It is this fact which the hackneyed New Leftists of the Attica Brigade must deny in their attempts to pass* off warmed-over liberalism as revolutionary socialism.

As the construction progresses, old traps may be eliminated but new ones them are fenced off. Without are created. None lighting, at night they become particularly dangerous. Last year a student fell into a live steam manhole at the State University at Stony Brook and was killed. Stony Brook is undergoing a massive construction program similar to the one on the Amherst Campus.

The event will take place Sunday, December 16 at 7 pm. in the Campus School Auditorium of Buffalo State College. Admission is free. No reimbursements for future Food service will no longer reimburse groups that organize meal fasts. In the past, food service has refunded one dollar for each student who had board contract and participated in the fast. The Jewish Student Union (JSU) recently used this technique to raise money for Isreali meidcal relief. By allowing such practices, the University may be “overtly showing partiality to one side,” according to Ed Doty, vice-president for Operations and Systems. “Where do you draw the line as to which cause is worthy and which isn’t?” Mr. Doty questioned. “This [decision] keeps the University from winding up in the middle by avoiding taking sides.” “This is a real moral question,” said Student Association (SA) President Jon Dandes. Mr. Dandes pointed out that because Jewish students greatly outnumber Arab students, a problem of equity exists;. “It meal fasts might appear that the University is supporting Isreal," he said. Apolitical Executive Vice-president Albert Somit who made the decision to discontinue the reinbursement policy said he was trying to prevent the University from getting into a situation where public money could eventually be used for politically issues. The State by-laws expressly prohibit such a situation and the University was “possibly on the verge of violating that by-law,” he added. JSU President Elaine Rasnick disagreed with Dr. Somit’s view. really can’t see why people can’t do what they want with their money,” Ms. Rasnick said. Mr. Doty pointed out that once a board contract is binding once a student signs it. In order to return money for a particular meal, food service must rewrite the contract for one less meal. NYCAG Power to the people of NY government are also included in the bill. More voter information in the form of ballot pamphlets, complete campaign financing disclosures by legislators and the establishment of a political practices commission are also part of this reform bill. Similar reform bills have either not passed committee or have come out of committee so watered down and compromised as to be virtually unrecognizable. Mr. Atlas hopes that the development of strong voter support for the NYCAG reform bill will save it from the fate suffered by similar bills. by Jonathan Burgess Spectrum Staff Writer Returning the power in New York State to the people is the primary objective of the New York Citizens Action Group (NYCAG), a non-profit, non-partisan organization headed by Steve Atlas, an associate of Ralph Nader. Ralph Nader first discussed the feasibility of state-wide citizen organiztions last spring. During the summer of 1973, Mr. Atlas spoke with New Yorkers all around the state and concluded the state’s citizens want and need an organization like NYCAG. Since September, Mr. Atlas has been barnstorming Wide support sought The expenses of organizing and launching the state to generate interest and support for NYCAG are paid by the New York Public Interest NYCAG. Research Group (NYPIRG). Although completely independent from NYPIRG, NYCAG has close ties Seven point program NYPIRG, Common Cause, the Citizen’s Union, with wide-spread grassroots Atlas is to Mr. trying gain support for a seven-point reform bill presently in the the New York Civil Liberties Union and the League drafting stage.

At present, have found NYCAG’s goals acceptable, and NYCAG some “public” meetings exclude the public when the can therefore be said to have “broad ideological actual voting procedures begin.

Wearing a floor-length black velvet gown, she picked her guitar and immediately began the show with a song from her Who Knows Where the Time Goes album. After her introductory number, Judy began talking to the audience. She was very happy to be back in Buffalo and equally pleased about the snow weVe had this weekend. New York City has evidently been having a warm winter; she remarked jokingly that we might as well blame that on Mr. Nixon along with everything else. After this interval die sang Steve Goodman’s “City of New Orleans” plus a couple Stephen Stills songs. The band backing her up did a fine job. The five members played piano, guitar, banjo, pedal steel, a third bass guitar, drums and harmonica. This was Judy’s sisth year at Kleinhans and marked a certain triumph for her and the group: Kleinhans has now become convinced that they are not a rock and roll band, and for the first time in six years has allowed them to use its treasured grand piano. Judy’s voice is of the sweetest quality and she seems to sing as easily and naturally as someone else would speak. On her return to the stage for the second half, shejeft die group backstage and performed solo, first doing some Leonard Cohen songs on the guitar, then switching to the piano for another four or five numbers. Judy plays piano very well and the audience was quite pleased. ThC second half of the show went over just as well as the first, with the audience hardly waiting for her to finish a song before breaking into a tremendous applause. They literally loved her. For the last two songs, both Joni Mitchell compositions, the band rejoined her and again her admirers could not restrain their applause. During “Chelsea Morning” die got quite lively and afterwards left the stage amidst a standing ovation. She returned to sing Leonard Cohen’s “Like a Bird on the Wire.” During most of the concert the mood was mellow. Only once or twice for a few seconds did she actually “whale” out a note or two. It would have been that much more enjoyable if she had used the full force of her resonant voice on just one or two songs. She chose, however, to keep the mood soft and even, which evidently pleased most of die crowd immensely and probably pleased her as well. -Pat Flanagan A humanistic approach to a tale about destiny: *J.

Alta his arrest, lesus is asked many times “Are yon the king of the Jews?” or “Are you the son of God?” Jesus calmly answers, “That is what you say... I look for truth.” His find scene, the crucifixion, was a masterpiece of drama. No stage blood was neede to redden the stage. No were needed nor a mallet to drive them in.

Why so unhappy? My unfortunate friend, you are actually very fortunate! Not only will you be able to experience Mother Nature’s elements in their most perverse confession, but you will also have the opportunity to witness and join seven explorers on the Pnumbral Raincoast. The Pnumbral Raincoast is, in terms of geographic location, a space characterized by the unique ability of both expansion and contraction. Recently it has been generally stable with the western boundary at East Lansing, Michigan, the eastern boundary at Pittsfield, Mass., Washington, D.C. on the southern boundary, and both Buffalo and Albany, N.Y. bordering the northern limit. The contracting process, in its latent form at the present time, will become active around December 26 and the Phumbral Raincoast will reach a high point of density on December 27 at 8 p.m. in Harriman Library (facing the foundation area across from Foster Hall) on campus. First wave Among the people committed to exploring this space is Amy Jenes, who has recorded a possible moment on the circumference of the Raincoost during its upcoming contraction process. She has entilted this projected moment. Station.

In his attempt at creating a viable myth, John Driscoll, after fishmg around at great length, has discovered in tfic cerebral recesses of the collective consciousness of the Pnumbral Raincoast the tale of Cicero’s Bath, which reveals the secret of how long it takes nine frozen bluefish to ,melt at a poker game.

I Today almost everybody is getting into photography And it’s not the snapshot variety. People are doing sports stories, nature stories, portraits—you may even have a friend who's doing photographs through a microscope. Or a telescope. You also know that everybody has his own idea about which camera is best. That's why it’s important for you to know about the Canon F-1. Because it’s the system camera that's fast becoming the favorite of professionals. And the new status symbol among photography enthusiasts. The whole F-1 system includes over 40 lenses and 200 accessories. It’s capable of doing virtually everything in photography So whatever idea you have for a picture, the F-1 has the equipment to make sure you get it. Because it was conceived from the beginning as a system, it works as a system. All the elements are quickly and easily interchangeable. No matter which lens or accessory you use with the F-1 body you won’t have the feeling that something has been “tacked on.” What’s more the F-1 is comfortable to handle. Years of research went into the design of the F-1 body and placement of controls so your fingers fall naturally into place. You'll appreciate this comfort when you’re on assignment. It’s also an important thing to keep in mind if you’re investing in a camera you plan to keep a long time. Canon has been in the optics industry over 37 years. We make microscope equipment, amateur and professional movie cameras and TV lenses. It’s this experience that helps make our still cameras the best selling cameras in Japan. In America, it's just a matter of time. See your dealer for more information. He'll also show you Canon’s other SLR cameras, like the FTb and TLb. Both of which offer accurate metering, easy film loading, a wide range of lenses and the same standard of engineering that goes into the F-1.

This part examines the controversial Jensen Report and the reactions it has generated in the scientific community. by Gary Cohn Contributing Editor Heredity vs. environment conflic t regarding IQs Why do blacks, as a group, score significantly lower on IQ tests than whites? i For years, social scientists insisted that the 10-to-20 point disparity between black and white IQ scores is caused by environmental differences. This assumption was the prime force behind most of the educational reform programs of the sixties, according to Tufts University professor Norman Daniels ( Harper’s Magazine, October 1973). Then in 1969, psychologist Arthur Jensen suggested that differences in genes were the primary reason for the gap between black and white IQ scores. The Jensen Report immediately became one of the most widely discussed, hotly contested and frequently misunderstood documents of the last century. The Jensen Report suggests four major premises: (1) tests measure a general trait, intelligence; (2) about 80 IQ per cent of individual IQ differences are genetic in origin; (3) genes are responsible for up to 80% of intelligence differences between blacks and whites and between social classes; (4) differences in job and school success strongly correlate with, and are caused by differences in intelligence. However, Dr. Jensen cautioned; “Let me stress that none of the research I have discussed allows one to conclude anything about the intelligence of any individual black or white person.” IQs unreliable “It is absolutely crucial to Jensen’s arguments that a person’s score on an IQ test does in fact indicate his intelligence,” Dr. Daniels commented. Some social scientists have maintained that IQ tests do not measure intelligence per se. “IQ is a score on a test, subject to enormous amounts of unreliability and error,” —continued on page by Fern Tohark—. Staff Writer Spectrum Rape Lack of aid to victim keeps criminal free Although one woman is raped every 21 minutes, according to FBI statistics, onjy one out of every five rapes is reported to officials. “Our criminal laws, upon which we depend to protect society from the violence visited by outlaws, have failed us miserably in this area,” said Justice Lawrence Cooke, Thursday in the Moot Courtroom. A member of the Appellate Division of the State Supreme Court, Justice'Cooke called for repeal of the laws requiring corroboration of a complainant's testimony in rape and other sex crime prosecutions. “Far from acting as a deterrent to the crime of rape, our laws have had a history of permitting women in this society to be raped with relative impunity and, due to their widely recognized inefficacy, they may even be accused of encouraging rape.” There are now 35 states in the U.S. corroboration requirement no for rape charges. New York is one of seven states considered to have the most difficult-to-convict rape statues. Justice Cooke felt that if these strict laws are repealed, people will report more crimes because of a greater chance for successful prosecution. Too often cases are dismissed police stations due to, lack of evidence for the at corroboration requirement, Mr. Cooke explained. expressed in the words of Lord Chief Justice Hale, that rape “is an accusation easily to be made and hard to be proved and harder to be defended by the party accused, tho’ never so innocent,” quoted Justice Cooke. Arguments against the repeal of the corroboration laws center on this belief that false rape charges are frequently made. “According to the commander of New York City’s Rape Analysis Squad, only about 2% of all rape and related sex charges are determined to be false, and this is about the same as the rate of false charges of other felonies,” Mr. Cooks said. Mistrusted women “What has justified it (the corroboration requirement] and continues to justify it is the ‘gut’ feeling that women as a class cannot be trusted to tell the truth, even under oath,” according to Justice Cooke. “Needless to say, this hypothesis is patently absurd and richly deserves once and for all to be relegated to inhumanity to the unhappy history of man’s man.” Underlying the whole situation, said Justice Cooke, is blatant sex discrimination: “Women are outside the effective protection of the law and criminals know it. Women dare not move about in public unescorted after dark. If the phrase ‘equal protection of the laws’ means anything, then I say the time has come for the repeal of the corroboration requirement.” Evidence unavailable Until 1972, New York law required that corroboration of the victim’s testimony extend to every material fact “essential to constitute the crime,” including any alleged assault, explained Justice Cooke. “Corroboration was required as to the identity of the alleged rapist; as to penetration of the victim; and as to lack of consent by the victim. Th« law has now been amended to eliminate the need to corroborate the assault. It is readily apparent that since few rapists attack their victims in the presence of witnesses, such corroborating evidence was simply not available in most cases, despite the presence of other credible proof of crime,” he maintained. Recent statistics for the first half of 1972 indicate that of 613 cases involving serious sex offenses, 342 were dismissed outright and only 9 convictions were obtained on the original charge. “This situation is far from sat sfactory, and I think it is appropriate that we examine the laws under which such a situation exists.” Justice Cooke commented. The brief that a rape charge is difficult to disprove can be traced to English Common Law. as Changes must be made in order to relieve of the emotional horrors they now experience in reporting a rape, demanded Justice Cooke: “Unless we can have a situation where women will no longer fear the humiliating and intimidating process of reporting a rape almost as much as the rape itself, we will make little progress in effective law enforcement.” A Rape Analysis Squad has been formed in New York City, which Justice Cooke feels is a step in the right direction. Hospital personnel and police must also'be made aware of the “special need for sensitive and humane handling of tape victims, rather than the coarse treatment to which these unfortunate women are too frequently subjects,” he said. “In order to insure that the process of reporting rape will not be an exercise in futility, we must remove the corroboration requirement as a needless obstacle to effective law enforcement,” concluded women Justice Cooke. “To those of us who believe in effective law enforcement, the need for change in the law is apparent. But more importantly, to those of us who believe in equal justice for all, regardless of race, religion or sex, the need for reform is imperative.” �Achtung!

Additionally, the examiner’s expectations, the test setting, cultural factors and famdiariCy with test materials may affect an individual’s IQ Or Jensen’s premise that about 80% of observed IQ deferences between individuals are due to genes is based r with identical twins. primarily on Dr. Jcnaen examined studies in which genetically alike twins (uni i||) were raised separately. Any difference in the IQs of identical twins must be due to the environment. Sir Cyril Bart studied S3 pairs of identical twins who woe raised separately, and found a relatively high IQ correlation of .77 bet seen twins. Other studies found smdar correlations, leading Dr. Jensen to postulate that 80% of an individual’s intelligence is Other studies have concluded that the IQs of adopted children correlate More strongly with their natural ■other's IQs than with the adopting mothers who raised of the report have charged that the ■rthridnlngy used in the studies of twins cited by Dr. Jensen was questionable- The twins studied were not reared in the “full range of environments that a society offers.” charged Leon lamm, chairman of the Experimental Psychology Department at Princeton Critics The twins in the four studies cited by Dr. Jensen cither both went to adoptive homes or only one of the twins was raised in the natural home. Dr. Kamin commented. Adaptive fam dies are generally “well above average in economic security and cultural and educational adoption agencies usually try to match Fortbe the child's d eristics or those of his natural parents to chn sties of the adopting family on such wikhlri as tdjgjon, color, family background and medical , . — — Far the twin pus in which one twin was raised at kouc, both twins often played together and went to the same school system.

Through selective straining, scientists have been able to breed both dull and bright rats. However, he cautioned 'that one cannot make definite assumptions about the intelligence of human beings on the basis of animal studies. Dr. Nichols also noted a “dramatic case study” in which a girl raised in a room by schizophrenic parents “devoid of any socialization" was discovered at age five. They had kept her locked in a room and fed her under the door. When she was transferred to a “fairly benign environment." she exhibited “apparently normal intelligence.” This study by Harvard professor Jerome Kagcn lent support to the theory that “fairly extreme deprivation” docs not permanently affect intelligence. Dr. Nichols stated. ” Similarly, an indmdual's IQ cannot permanently be improved by environmental programs. Dr. Nichols maintained. “Small-scale attempts to improve intelligence by intensive instruction has had relatively little effect,” he claimed. “It is not easy to influence intelligence by correcting for environmental factors," Dr. Nicbok concluded. This argument has frequently been advanced by proponents of Jen sen ism when arguing against various Head Start and compensatory education programs. In short, because IQ is a heritable (genetically determined| trait, learning ability cannot be significantly improved through compensatory programs. Dr. Jensen believes. Dr. Jensen argues that genetic factors can explain the I0-to-20 point difference in the mean IQs of blacks and whites and the 30-point difference between the average IQs of lower- and upper-class persons. MwMbJi or yn|whlinw? “The fact that IQ is highly heritable within the white and probably the black population- docs not by itself constitute formal proof that the difference between the populations is genetic.” Dr. Jensen wrote in Psychology Today (December 1973). “However,” he continued, “the fact of substantial hcritability within the populations does increase the a priori probability that the population difference is partly attributable to genetic factors.” “To go from individual to group differences is a big, in fact fatal, leap, since hcritability is defined only for . differences.” Dr. Daniels countered. Dr. Jensen responded to such criticism: “Biologists generally agree almost without exception throughout nature, that any genetically conditioned characteristic that varies among individuals within a subspecies (i.c.. race) also individual varies genetically between subspecies.” Opponents have also criticized Dr. Jensen because be did not study IQ scores from large numbers of black people. Instead, most of the IQ data analyzed by Dr. Jensen were from tests of Caucasian Americans and Europeans. In his study. Dr. Jensen postulated that because there was high heritabiUty Cor white people, there is probably high heritabiUty for black people. hgetwo The Spectrum Monday, 10 December 1973 . p<9* Many psychologists claim that IQ tests themselves ary biased against certain ethnic and social classes. IQ tests are based primarily on the language, knowledge and cognitive skills of the white middle class, they argue. The sampling groups used to standardize the commonly-used Stanford-Binet and Wechsler Intelligence tests, for instance, did not include black or Mexican-American children, according to Jane Mercer and Wayne Brown. “By omitting black and Mexican-American children from the standardization samples of these tests, the test designers have implicitly set those children outside the tethnic and socio-cultural boudaries of the population,” explained Drs. Mercer and Brown. Minorities omitted They concluded: “The differences between the average IQ test scores of children from the three different ethnic groups [black, white, and Mexican American] we studied could be explained statistically by differences in their environmental backgrounds.” Responding to criticism that the IQ tests themselves are “culture biased” Dr. Jensen stated: “Surprisingly, blacks tend to perform relatively better 'on the more culture-loaded or verbal kinds of tests than on the culture-fair type.” As evidence, he cited the widely-used Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children (WISC), on Which “blacks do* better on the culture-loaded subtests of vocabulary, general information, and verbal comprehension than on the nonverbal performance tests such as the block design.” Dr. Jensen also suggests that job and school success strongly correlates with, and is caused, by differences in intelligence. This so-called “meritocracy” thesis has been advanced by Harvard professor Richard Hemstein. This theory states that blacks, with their lower average have low educability and therefore are found disproportionately on-the lower end of the working class, according to Dr. Daniels. Taking issue with this theory, he asked rhetorically; “Does low IQ explain racist wage differentials or ‘last hired, first fired’ policies exercised by many companies?” IQ poor predictor There is little reason to assume that success in school or on the-job is much related to intelligence, he added “Other things, like class background and number of school years completed, correlate even better with such achievement than IQ does. Independent of these other factors, IQ is no good at all as a predictor of ‘success in life’,” he maintained. Was Dr. Jensen “responsive to evidence in his scholarly approach,” as Dr. Nichols asserts? Or was he making reckless assertions on the basis of poor research, as some social scientists have claimed? “Intelligence, personality and special abilities are all susceptible to modification by genetic as well as environmental factors,” wrote renowned geneticist Theodosius Dobzhansky, “And recent! sensational and inflammatory pronouncements about the genetic basis for racial and socio-economic differences in IQ make mandatory a critical consideration of ,thc subject.” Environment vs. heredity; nature vs. nurture. The controversy is as old as science itself. The Jensen Report, with its emphasis on genetic factors, has pleased some and infuriated others, but it has not stilled the controversy. The debate rages on. ' ■ • >' �Financial aid applications for the 1974-75 academic year are now available at the Financial Aid Office in Room 312, Stockton Kimbell (Tower Hail).

Ra id transit Forum to discuss overhead station Will there be an overhead train line on the Main Street campus? An open forum to discuss the proposed Buffalo-Amherst rapid transit line will be co-sponsored by the Civil Engineering Department and the Community Action Corps (CAC) on December 12 from 3 to 5 p.m. in the Norton Conference Theatre. A panel of the major contributors to the rapid transit decision-making process will be available to answer questions pertaining to the alignment and its impact on the university community. Focusing on a “basic exchange of information” between students, faculty, community participants'and the panelists, the forum was organized in response to conern over the station location on the Main Street campus, according to Robert Paaswell, Associate Professor of Civil Engineering who has been instrumental in arranging the forum. While panelists may give a brief formal presentation on the planning -process of the rapid transit line, Dr. Paaswell said the bulk of time will be spent in receiving input from University community. the Informed panel The panel will consist of Kenneth Knight, project director for the Niagara Frontier Transit Authority (NFTA), C. McGee from Bechtel Associates (engineering consultant for NFTA), John Telfer, Vice-President of Facilities Planning, and Dr. Paaswell, who has recently studied transportation problems for the City of Buffalo under a grant from the Federal Department of Transportation. Also tentatively scheduled to be present are Marti Horne, representing (CAC), University councilman Bill Price, a representative from the University Heights community and group. Although an overhead transit structure will defintely be built Amherst campus, no final decision has been made on the type of rapid transit facility that will serve the Main Street campus. NFTA has narrowed the alternatives to either an aerial station near Diefendorkrf Annex or an underground station on Main Street Opposite Hayes Hall. University officials would prefer an on-campus overhead station with a network of enclosed walkways connecting various academic buildings. They feel this set-up will be more convenient for passengers travelling to the Veterans Hospital and dental clinic, as welt as the campus. Additionally, if the main pedestrian flow is above ground, it will allow for freer movement of vehicular traffic below, explained Mr. Telfer, Campus expressway Opponents to an overhead line contend congestion and noise from the trains will disturb outside activities. They also claim the structure will “resemble an expressway through campus,” detracting from the collegiate atmosphere. However, the structure is a “modern-looking ribbon of concrete” and any noise will be cushioned by a four-foot sound barrier wall, according to a NFTA spokesman. The new trains will not be as noisy as the old New York City “el-train,” he added. Students and faculty who are interested in helping to determine the location of the transit line are urged to attend the forum. “We would like the final plans to be made in the presence of university opinion,” Dr. Paaswell stated. Report urges more flexibility in nation’s secondary schools High schools must become more flexible. This is the primary finding of a report to be -m! issued next month by the National Commission on the Reform of Secondary Education, urging the nation’s high schools to make both curricula and attendance requirements more flexible. The study will make 32 recommendations intended to alleviate what it called the “beleaguered" conditions of the secondary schools. The report’s most controversial proposal is to lower the age of mandatory school attendance from 16 to 14. One educator feared such a change would result in “five million youngsters on the streets, instead of one millionn ” PipS'v ’Ws a i Financial aid : MBttMBMiKBPS ’ School, not prison In arguing for lowering the compulsory attendance age, the report states: “If the high school is not to be a custodial institution, the state must not force adolescents to attend.” The commisssion advocated the development of new programs for 14-year-olds including complete revision of the employment laws and increased-on-the-job training programs. > The study was conducted by a 21-member panel which included educators, legislators and students. Some of its other recommendations included: “Receiving diplomas for out-of-school experiences that will enable students to earn their diploma without meeting traditional classroom increased girl participation in requirements. competitive sports, and the elimination of racial and ethnic bias in texts, counseling, and in the hiring of school personnel.” .. Two free years They also emphasized job placement programs, also stressed universal access to college: “Congress and the state legislature should insure free public education for two years beyond high school.” The president of the Buffalo Board of Education, Joseph Manch, has been an advocate of secondary education reform. “Education should not be confined to the four walls of a classroom,” he said, adding that Buffalo has been a “leader” in the educational reform. Buffalo was “the first city to include black history in the regular curriculum” and the “first to put students on curricular committees,” and said Dr. Manch. Asked whether he would support the mandatory age lowering from 16, to 14, Dr Manch replied he had “mixed feelings.” Commenting on the committee’s proposal for out-of-school job experiences being utilized for The Spectrum is published three times a week, on Monday, 3435 Buffalo, New Main Street, York 14214.

However, most of the individuals contacting the Center are not suicidal but rather emotionally concerned about a problem which has caused them some degree of difficulty and personal concern.’ The Center offers a wide range of services and programs opened to all residents of Erie County. Among these is 24-hour telephone services “designed to give immediate assistance or conmltatkm to individuals who are suicidal or concerned about a personal or interpersonal crisis.” The Center’s telephones, at 854-1966, we manned by “individuals especially trained and selected and trained to talk to people in crisis.” The Center runs a clinic which provides short-term intensive psycho-therapy for both individuals and groups “for people who desire face-to-face contact with a therapist for assistance in resolving their difficulty.” They also operate a 24-hour Crisis Outreach Service, which is oriented to offering emergency mental health services to people living in Erie County: Outreach offers “therapeutic contact with a person in a critical situation where the police or rescue squad are inappropiatc and other resources are lacking,” a spokesman explained. The primary abjective of the outreach team is to “keep individuals out of the hospitals and. when necessary, to refer the individual to appropriate agencies for help or therapy.” When hospitalization is required, voluntary admission, as opposed to involuntary, is the objective. The Suicide Prevention and Crisis Center, Inc. it located at 560 Main Street, telephone 854-1966. All the suicide prevention facilities mentioned in this scries differ from each other in small but important ways. There are the more discernible differences such as the money and resources available to each. And there are the less obvious differences such as the vocabulary (the way something is defined), approach, and techniques employed by each agency in dealing with depression and crisis. All these factors point to an attitude the individual agency holds in pther words, how the agency perceives itself and its relationship or role to the person who utilized it. - Suicide: not preventable? Ideas and theories presented n a “fancy” or scientific vocabulary are not necessarily more valid than the less formalized articulations of “non-professionals.” Even some “experts” admit that the dynamics of self-destructive behavior is one facet of human behavior that hasn’t yet been adequately understood. This is not to imply that crisis counseling is of little or no value and could be done away with, but that counseling services aren't necessarily going to prevent certain behaviors from occurring. And this leads into another area of discussion: Why do people commit suicide, and how effective is counseling in preventing self-destruction? Recently, Newsweek (October 29,1973) said there has been “no demonstrable success anywhere in lowering the suicide rate, regardless of the kind of therapy offered and regardless of whether it was long-term or short term, private or institutional, voluntary or involuntary.” And Thomas Szasz, who Newsweek termed a “radical psychiatrist,” said: “The whole anti-suicide thing is a racket." The biggest obstacle in suicide prevention counseling seems to be, according to sociologist Donald Light Jr., that “most people who call in are not suicidal, and most individuals contemplating suicide do not call in.” 'hen do you go from here? 1SS Despite the fact that main attraction Freddie Hubbard failed to appear for a Black Student Union-sponsored concert November 18, no refunds will be issued because ticket stubs were never distributed. “We didn’t know Freddie Hubbard wasn’t going to be there. I was never informed by phone, telegram or anything that he wasn’t coming,” maintained BSD president Larry Williams. The reason ticket stubs were not given out was because BSU was afraid people would throw them out windows to “freeloaders,” Mr. Williams said. However, in a Letter to the Editor in the November 30 issue of The Spectrum H. Pye complained: “I was refusejl stubs at the end of the program, when it was first mentioned that the main attraction had not shown.” Nevertheless Mr. Williams contended that the concert ended so late it would have taken all night to return ticket stubs. The two other groups on the bill did perform, he added. Student Association (SA) Treasurer Ken Unker felt the incident was “unfortunate” even though the SA was not directly involved. Refunds could not be made because stubs were never given, Mr. Unker agreed. Freddie Hubbard and BSU are considering holding a free concert in the spring. Mr. Pye’s letter outraged BSU and Mr. Williams. “We put on two days of smokin’ concerts and because one dude doesn’t show up we’re called the Bull Shit Union,” Mr. Williams said. ‘The University doesn’t care about blacks and fought us like hell about putting on the concerts,” he added. In addition, Mr. Williams was very critical of The Spectrum. “\ don’t see how that letter was ever printed,” he said. “If we called the Jews racist pig mother fuckers, it would never be printed.” iGusJ Page four.

K �Sostre dehumanized in prison after he allegedly wasframed . Editor’s note: This i the first ofa two-part report on the events surrounding the imprisonment of Martin Sostre. by Linda Moskowitz Feature Editor m legal certificate to Geraldine Robinson, his co-dcfendent in his original narcotics case. The National Civil Liberties Committee brought his appeal before Judge Motley, the only black woman on the Federal District bench. In prison they call it “the box.” At least the do. The more formal name is solitary confinement. Albany officials now refer to it as the “segregation unit” or “special housing facility.” Martin Sostre is currently in “the box” at Clinton Prison, serving a 25-30 year prison term for possession and sale of heroin. Every time a male prisoner is moved from his cell in any solitary confinement unit of a state maximum security prison, suph as Clinton, he must submit to a rectal examination by guards. Mr. Sostre has contested this rule as unconstitutional. However, the prison authorities uphold the examination as legal, claiming it is necessary for security. Mr. Sostre continues to resist this practice, however, and has suffered innumerable beatings by prison guards as a consequence. The most recent case of such action was related by Mr. Sostre in a letter to his Defense Committee on November 26: “I was taken to Plattsburgh Court by 'mistake (?) ■ this morning when an assistant D.A. placed another prisoner’s letter in my folder. Before I went to court, I was again assaulted for refusing to submit to the dehumanizing rectal examination. This time they had sixteen guards in their squad! Why they had so many, I don’t know. Perhaps it was due to some misguided notion that sheer numbers would terrorize or intimidate me into cooperating in my own dehumanization. prisoners maintained. Cooperated with police 6x8 cell “What dreadful crimes the oligarchy has committed that they fear the voice of one man.” -Ruchell Magee “Although the conditions Sostre endured were severe, we cannot agree with the district court that they were ‘so foul, so inhuman and so violative of basic concepts of decency,’ as to require that similar punishments be limited in the future to any particular length of time. “However contrary such prolonged segregation may be to the views of some experts,” the court added, Mr. Sostrc’s long confinement was not “cruel and unusual.” Mr. Sostre was confined for the reasons asserted by Warden Follette and not for his political beliefs, the Court During this trial the following testimony was given about Green Haven’s solitary unit: Only one other prisoner was confined to solitary for four months when Mr. Sostre was there. A second prisoner who was assigned to solitary committed suicide the day after he was brought there. Mr. Sostre was denied second portions of food and all desserts as punishment. He was allowed only one hour Of recreation per in a small' 'enclosed yard by himself, which he refused because he did not wish to be subjected to the mandatory “strip frisk” and rectal examination required every time he left his cell. The testimony continued; He was permitted to shave and shower with hot water only once a week. He was not permitted to use the pnson library, read newspapers, see movies, or attend school or training programs. He was not allowed to work Martin Sostre’s political beliefs seem to be central to this case, despite his conviction of drug possession. Mr. Sostre claims he has been framed. The main witness for the prosecution, then-heroin addict Arto Williams, who testified in 1967 that he bought heroin from Mr. Sostre, has since recanted his testimony, aftir taking part in a rehabilitation program in California. In an affidavit, Mr. Williams stated that he agreed to cooperate with police officials by acting as an informant. The police asked him if he knew any drug pushers in the area, and after offering several names, he was asked about Martin Sostre. Alvin Gristmacher, then a sergeant in the narcotics division, allegedly told Mr. Williams: “We are very interested in Sostre because we believe he was the cause of the riot in 1967.” The riot referred to by Mr. Gristmacher took place in Buffalo’s black ghetto in the summer of 1967. At that time, Martin Sostre was running the “Afro-Asian Bookstore” in that area, which he opened in January 1965 at 1412 Jefferson Avenue. The majority of books in his store dealt with black liberation, socialism and leftist politics. ’ In any event, those sixteen guards strengthened my resolve not to submit to the dehumanizing and \degrading policies of the Rockefeller prison administration, for they comprised living, objective proof of the power of the spirit of one man in the struggle rights. Nor was the fact that one man can tie up sixteen lost on the rest of the. prisoners one 50-year old man at that!” - Slowly beaten to death The Martin Sostre Defense Committee (Box 839, EUicott Station, Buffalo, New York 14205) claims that this is “only one more example of the harassment Martin is forced to endure in prison.” But more importantly, they are worried about Mr. Sostre’s health. “Right now he’s slowly being beaten to death, and it’s taking a toll on his health,” remarked Sharon Fischer, coordinator of the Defense Committee. “His life is at stake, and it’s not an exaggeration to say this. He is very dependent on outside support and we urge people to demand an end to his conditions of imprisonment.” The conditions of Martin Sostre’s imprisonment have been condemned by a district judge, Constance Baker Motley, when a suit was filed by Mr. Sostre against Gov. Rockefeller and State Commissioner of Corrections Paul McGinnis in 1970, when Mr. Sostre was in Green Haven Prison. He was placed in solitary there for 13 months for “practicing law without a license,” after he tried to mail a hkv> and thus, earn money. He spent 6 x 8-foot cell. 24 hours of every day in a judge Motley ruled: “punitive segregation under the to which plaintiff (Martin Sostre) was subjected at Green Haven is physically harsh, destructive of morale, dehumanizing in the sense that it is needlessly degrading and dangerous to the maintenance of sanity when continued for more than a short period of time, which should certainly not exceed 15 days.” conditions Rulings overturned She also ruled that before a prisoner is put in solitary, he has a right to a hearing with a lawyer, the right to call witnesses and deny the charges made against him. Legal mail should reach the prisoner in sealed envelopes, she added. Mr. Sostre was denied these privileges at Green Haven. Judge Motley also awarded him $13,000 in damages against the warden and New York State of Corrections. However, the majority of Judge Motley’s rulings were later overturned by the United States Court of Appeals in 1971, which claimed: “To place a punishment beyond the power of a state to impose on an inmate is a drastic interference with the state’s free political and administrative processes.

Police cars often parked in front of the store, which Ms. Fischer claims “tried to intimidate people from going into the store.” She said government officials would drop by and attempt to harrass Mr. Sostre with comments like the following: “Oh, nice place you got here, Marty, what are you doing behind this front?” “1 was given to understand if I helped the police in convicting Sostre, it would aid me in my case,” Mr. Williams stated in his affadavit. He claimed “Chief Mike Amico [Erie County Sheriff) said in substance that he would get me released without bail.” After he agreed to cooperate with the police, Mr. Williams said he was put on probation, released on his own recognizance, given money by Sgt. Gristmacher, and told to meet the police later that night when they went to Mr. Sostre’s store together. At the recent trial where Mr. Williams changed his testimony, he said he spent the money given to him on drugs immediately after leaving the Erie County Jail. He claims he took some of this heroin and concealed the rest of it. His affadavit continued that when Mr. Williams arrived at the bookstore with the police, he went inside and asked Mr. Sostre to hold some money for him, which Mr. Sostre agreed to do. Mr. Williams then left and gave the heroin he had to the police. Following this transaction on July 14, 1967, approximately a dozen policemen entered Mr. Sostre’s store and allegedly assaulted Geraldine Robinson, a store clerk. Mr. Sostre then claims he rushed to her aid and was beaten himself with blackjacks by the police. Mr. Sostre was later charged with assault for this in addition to the drug charges.

Mr. Rockefeller’s resignation will be announced before Christmas so that Mr. Wilson will have time to prepare a State of the State message for the recorivening of the State Legislature. The Times reported, speculating this would give Mr. Wilson the inside track for the 1974 Republican gubenatorial nomination. “The decision of the 65-year old Mr. Rockefeller to resign after IS years ended months of soul-searching in which he weighed, first, whether to seek a fifth term next year, and then whether to resign before his fourth term ends, to give Mr. Wilson maximum exposure and the advantages of an incumbent in year’s gubernatorial next election,” The Times said. Choices convinced him that “the Governor has something entirely viable with the Commission and it’s something he’s going to throw himself into he avily.” The Commission, designed to study the problems facing America in the 21st century, is viewed as a springboard to the 1976 Presidential nomination Mr. Rockefeller is seeking. The possibility of defeat in a re-election bid for a fifth consecutive term as New York Governor was mentioned as a factor influencing Mr. Rockefeller’s decision. A defeat in New York would certainly tarnish his image and hinder the Governor’s chances for a Presidential victory in 1976, as New York carries 46 electoral votes. Similarly, a defeat for Lt. Gov. Malcolm Wilson in a bid for the New York Governorship could also be interpreted as a blow to the prestige of *his sponsor, Gov. Rockefeller. Were the Governor to resign, and Mr. Wilson decides to run for a term as Governor, he faces strong opposition from the Speaker of the House of the State Assembly, Perry May change mind One source close to the Governor said it was possible he might still change his mind. Duryea (R., Montauk). However, he said Mr. However, it seems likely that Rockefeller’s “demeanor” at Mr. Wilson will gain the Tuesday's meeting of his Conservative party Commission on Critical endorsement.

Mr. Engel is a self-described "fish or a wrestler who can t wrestle. Editor’s note: ” by Bruce Engel everybody work so hard. But, I learned a valuable lesson that afternoon. The only thing more boring than going through a wrestling practice is having to watch one. From the morning of the third day until two days after it was all over, my thighs reached the height of bodily agony. Things like standing up, sitting down, or climbing stairs were excruciating. 1 longed to be able to sit all day and dreamt of elevators that would never be. Contributing Editor The first day of practice had been easy enough. My legs, which always get sore after unaccustomed vigorous activity, didn’t feel half as bad as I thought they would. Eventually, they would feel twice as bad as I thought was humanly possible. Tuesday was going to be a hard practice. I had resolved not to wear sweat clothes anymore. (Overheating had given me a headache the day before.) Unlike the real wrestlers, who have to make weight before each match, I had no need to keep my weight down. I also resolved not to be very upset about being late to practice because of an Day four By Thursday the cold had subsided and I was feeling pretty strong. 1 even decided to leave class a little early and take in the whole practice. That plan was ruined by the necessity of taking a physical now that the doctor was making his weekly visit to the gym. Several times I left practice to go up to the training room, found a long line of ailing athletes, and returned to practice. I was in a very bad position. Then I got a brainstorm: I could break this hold by running out of bounds. Unfortunately, I wasn’t very subtle about it. Referee Jim Young penalized me a point for intentionally going out of bounds. I said it was the only alternative I had. Co-captain Bill Jacoutot, watching the match, agreed that I did the smart thing. Two-ref circus Later on, Hershman was in the process of pinning me when Jacoutot decided Young could use some help in refereeing. The two of them got on either side of us then switched sides by jumping over Hershman and myself. Now that it was a circus, I saw no need to resist and let myself be pinned. Our refereeing twins smacked the mat in unison. Hershman stood up and I just left the room. Jacoutot and Young met me outside after a couple of minutes. I found it hard to stay mad at them when they began giving me pointers and explaining what I had done wrong. Unfortunately, I was too disheveled to understand much. I went upstairs to wait for the doctor. By the time he gave me a clean bill of health and told me what I already knew was wrong with my knee, practice was over. Before practice 1 spoke with Joe Piscotty in the locker room. He wished me luck in the match the next day and afternoon class. All I missed was the calisthenics and a few drills. Drilling is the basis of a wrestling practice. Wrestling is a series of procedural techniques cleverly called “moves.” Drilling means practicing gn individual move by performing it repeatedly on a passive opponent. It’s a deadly boring procedure, but the only way to learn to sport. Mauled by the manager After warming up for a few miutes I entered the drills. I thought 1 had it made, working with Gary Edwards, one of the managers, and the only available body for me to work with. Here was a guy just as out of shape as 1 was and about 20 pounds lighter. 1 was even a lihle offended at having to practice with the manager, even if he was at my level. I doubt drilling has ever been sloppier. It had been several years since Edwards, a marine veteran, had wrestled in high school, and he knew little more than I did. It was getting thrown around or trying no fun on either end vainly to perform a certain move correctly. To my sruprise and eventually to my utter Edwards got the better part of the frustration scrimmaging that followed. Even in a situation designed to make it easy for the offensive wrestler, his defense against me Was successful. I nearly held my own at first, but as time went on, I won fewer and fewer of these brief encounters. In the final set he was escaping from me at will. Once he didn’t even try to escape. He just tensed up and dared me to bring him down. 1 couldn’t even budge him, but I was cool. 1 just patted him on the ass, backed off and said: “Okay, 1 don’t want to move either.” Gary looked tired, but compared to me he was fresh. - - — Paralysis of the thighs The conditioning period that followed did me in even more, until my bad knee buckled after a sharp movement. I walked it off and sat out the rest of the practice. After that, I had the knee taped for practice. That night, parts of my body 1 never knew I had were telling me the error of my ways. Several of the guys later told me that this practice had been a particularly hard one, but that did little to soothe my mind and body. That tight, heavy feeling in the thighs was developing rapidly. It was very discouraging to be so utterly exhausted, to get kicked around by the team’s manager, but most of all three more days to go. — to have The third day “Cold? Why, half the guys here have colds. You’re just pussying out.” These words of encouragement came from 167-pound Erik Drasgow, who sat next to me during a break in his workout. His words bothered me only because I was starting to think he was right. I had told Coach Michael before practice that I had a cold and didn’t want to infect anyone. He recommended I sit out so I’d be stronger the next day. I guess I really wanted to sit out for myself, or 1 wouldn’t have brought it up in the first place. Michael saw through this and figured my conscience would bother me if I was goldbricking. 1 tried to tell myself I did the right thing, but I felt pretty guilty sitting there watching As soon as I finished my calisthenics, a big guy in a black rubber sweat suit grabbed me to do the drills with him. We were doing takedowns that day and he threw me around like putty. None of the wrestlers knew exactly who he was, just that he comes down to work out every now and then. He turned out to be a bartender who wrestled at a junior college before flunking out. Scrimmaging for the day consisted of two eight-minute matches done in shifts with some of the non-wrestlers refereeing. I reffed a few matches (my real future in the sport), almost scared to insult anyone by asking for a match. Finally Michael got 150-pound starter Mitch Draina to take me on. said he’t try to come watch it. To the best of my knowledge, Joe was the only one in the gym who came specifically to watch me. My only fan. The hairy dilemna The fifth and final day was my only full practice session, and physically the toughest one for me. After practicing pinning combinations, which I’d certainly have no need for, everyone was to have four three-minute matches. For me this meant getting beaten, battered and torn apart in every conceivable manner. Larry Bachman, called pretzel man by his teammates, was particularly trying. He twisted my limbs and torso in ways I never thought they could be contorted. Against Tom Lloyd-Jones and A1 Nichols 1 was too exhausted to do The out-of-bounds play anything, and eventually ceased to care. I can safely say that for the entire week, no wrestler The mustache question never died all week. Coach came close to going all-out against me, not that there was Michael and 1 discussed it almost every day. So far he was any need to. Draina took me down easily and kept control standing firm But I figured it was worth one last-ditch merely by tripping me everytime 1 stood up to escape. effort. Stuart’s hand-control clinic just wasn’t working, though I To my suprrise, he gave in. “You sold me,” he said, did force Mitch to resort to an illegal move on one occasion. Otherwise, he would just wait for my mistake though he sounded as if he didn’t really mean it. then pin me with it. Once I nearly had him in trouble, only Nonetheless, he agreed to let me wrestle with the mustache intact if I wanted to. His tone of voice made me guilty and because of a gross mistake on his part. Draina wrestled gave me mixed feelings about it. sloppily against me, as he could well afford to. Now, making my decision was tougher than ever, and For my second match 1 accepted the challenge of it bothered me all night. Which way was the cop-out? What 126-pounder Dave Hershman, who had been itching to get would the team think? It was suddenly a whole new issue. at me all week. We tied up and I could feel how thin he was. He took me down five seconds later, so I took little I couldn’t shave, as I had resigned myself to, and blame it comfort from my superior size. He started to set me up for on Michael. He’d given the ball back to me. 1 was a guillotine, a very painful pinning hold. I was very confused, set back, kind of a rebel without a cause. There was a lot to sleep on, but somehow I didn’t figure I’d be susceptible to this because I ahve a bad habit of reaching back with my hand to grab my opponent’s head. This time getting much sleep. I realized my mistake in mid-air and pulled my arm back. Next: The match This left Hershman to reach for it himself. - .

An important open meeting at 3 p.m. Wednesday in the Norton Conference Theater will attempt to solicit public input on the issue. The NFTA is deliberating whether to build an overhead station right through the middle of campus or an underground subway beneath Main Street in front of the Hayes Hall lawn. With input from practically no one. Facilities Planning vice-president John Telfer has told NFTA that the Administration favors the above-ground campus station to provide "convenient" access to campus buildings. No one who has ever seen (and heard) the New York City subway system needs to be told the noise pollution, distraction and eyesore an overhead station will present. Despite dubious promises about soundless "padding," trains speeding through an overhead station would undoubtedly be noisy and disturb both passerbys and adjacent classrooms. It would create the same result as building a highway across the a fragmenting and injurious effect on people and campus the environment.

William Shockley’s “sterilization bonus plan” ... ‘ ... ‘ — — Sterilize Shockley!! - Exposing racism Freedom of speech is a textbook ideal; academic freedom is a myth. In the last three years, liberal faculty members at have including this one universities across the country been fired, demoted and repressed in a conservative backlash to the late sixties, resulting in a cautious attitude among liberals, lest they be too outspoken in the face of conservative political winds. In the repressive climate that permitted both Watergate and Kent State, liberals have two choices: they can fight for their beliefs without prostituting their principles, or can "fight fire with fire" and try to repress the other side. Since repression is indiscriminately used by the racist Establishment, and we oppose racism, some argue, we must fight back by using the enemy's tactics and silencing the — — opposition. Except that when liberals use suppression in support of an ideological cause, they lose any claim to criticize the opposition for doing the same. By adopting fascist tactics, they condone their use. To suggest that blacks score tower on IQ tests because they are genetically inferior is outrightracism. But to suggest that people with abhorrent or extreme ideas not be allowed to speak is racism too. Some care little for the tactics employed as long as the end "stopping” the opposition, if that's what the silencing of William Shockley and others can be called is achieved. The same reasoning suggests that because this newspaper has publicized the theories of Jensen and Shockley, we are unwitting dupes playing into the hands of racist propagandists. This is utter nonsense. Silencing Dr. Shockley will not affect racist government policies; convincing people he is wrong in public debate, however, might cause people to change their thinking, and subsequently, their government. Jensen ism must be publicized; not to support any illusory freedom, but to expose it as political propaganda hiding behind the camouflage of "science." The antiwar movement helped turn the country against the Vietnam War, but focusing on the immorality and racism of the mass murder of Asians changed more people's thinking than the violent takeover of buildings. Spotlighting the racism of the war forced people to stop looking the other way. Similarly, how many people know of Shockley's mass sterilization plans? Only by publicizing his racist mentality, not by exposing him both scientifically and politically can we defeat his racist appeal repressing the whole issue to fear. Racism is a deadly disease that has infected our society. People did hot learn their racism from Dr. Shockley, but from stereotypes, generalizations and myths. If it were proved beyond a doubt tomorrow that intelligence is caused by environmental influences, if all the Shockleys and Jensens in the world were sterilized tomorrow, many people would still be racists. Teach-ins, public debate, scientific inquiry in short, constructive educational efforts to break down ingrained stereotypes ~r may eventually change things. There are no easy answers. Repression is no answer at aM. — shows exactly where the pseudo-scientific, racist “psychology” of Jensen, Herrnstein et al. lead: to a resuscitated eugenics movement with all its murderous implications. These theories have been thoroughly discredited in academic circles and their authors have been repeatedly censured by professional associations in genetics and anthropology, YET this academic racism is given quite an “respectable” forum at SUNYAB. U.B. Philosophy professor, Paul Kurtz, editor of The Humanist, devoted a recent issue of his publication ot an "open” discussion of Eysenck, Jensen, and Shockley. Far from pointing out the racism in these views, Kurtz’s sole critical comment was that all of the evidence is not yet in on the matter. The Psychology of Education by Joseph Still pissed Dececco (a deciple of Jensen, who presents Jensen’s “findings” as gospel) is used here. And now The Spectrum editorializes that when political parties and student governments militantly organize to stop the propagation of such views, that it is a “frightening trend.” This is precisely the kind of cooperation that Shockley is looking for. Shockley ought to be sterilized and Jensen hung up by this toes. Their racist “theory” is even now being used to justify genocidal practice. Both have ignored the scientific refutation of their lies, and only militant action by students, teachers and others will put an end to their desemnation. As communists, we in PLP realize that racism and its apologies will not be wiped out until capitalism is destroyed; we know, too, that the racism that divides the working class is the biggest obstacle to socialist revolution.

One of the vast legion bf machines which seize money and occasionally render up merchandise. The machine in question is one of the potato chips, pretzel, and cheese twistee etc. kind. And therein lies this particular tale of man’s madness and strange behavior. In a microcosm of the world doth all this unfold. y In the beginning, vending changed distributors and bought the cheese twists they put in their machines from a new company. And they put all these packages of ndw kind of cheese twistees in this vending machine, and you know what? They don’t come out so good. They arc too big, these packages. They have to be tugged, pulled and cajoled to come out of the machine, and they frequently rip in the process. It may be that there in the basement of Harriman, we have the only vending machine on campus with a narrow orifice, so to speak. And that only there is a difficulty in extracting things from machines which the machines decide to reluctantly yield. It may be. Forgive me if 1 doubt it, but perhaps one should be optimistic to the end Emulate the President. (With complete candor 1 must tell you 1 have not told you the whole truth. What? You mean you want MORE?) /ifjlWIn Speaking of which it is, the U" ■ end, that is. This here be the last Grump of the season. Holiday season, that is. Scrooge by Mm* lives, as I noted last week. (Wasn’t he just inaugurated as Vice-President? No, that’s Mr. Clean.) You know, before Christmas, New Year’s, Sober-up Day, Credit Card Bill Receiving Day, and all those critical days of celebration and festivity. Speaking of critical, that is what I seem to be being. Exactly why I am not quite sure. My assumption is that I am being defensive. But that is almost a reflex, 1 always assume that 1 am being defensive. Which would be all right if I wasn’t usually right. Anyway, what is there to get defensive about at Christmas time? Well, for one thing, wait until you get hit by a reindeer turd from 20,000 feet. For another, try being really cautious about getting close to people a sensible position held by anyone of and being stuck with a reason in which sense terms. The people traipses about talking in Did you ever Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. in your life hear anyone say Merry Fourth of July, • — - — me- CmnMt /*•/* Ho, Ho, Ho? Or how about Happy Ides of March, everybody? Suspicious, very suspicious. No one goes about being at any other time of the year. Why should 1 believe it now? You’re going to do it, do it for 365 consecutive days and I might, just might, allow myself to tentatively believe it. I mean, can you give me a reason why I should start to believe something which under the very improbable probability that I should deem it safe tb believe anything like that could lead to all sorts of anxiety-provoking experiences? Doesn’t it make much more sense, efficiency-wise, to simply get anxious now, rather than later? I thought you would see it my way! Another anxiety-provoking experience for me is the annual controversy about whether or not to get a Christmas tree. The fantasy runs something along the lines of: Suppose you were standing there in the midddle of a crowd, not going anywhere, not bothering anybody, just digging on the rest of the people around you, and some tree walked up to you, walked around you, yelled, “Here’s a nice one, dear,” and proceeded to cut you off below the knee, and carry you home to be stuck in a bucket of water. Merry Christmas, tree. Fertile imagination or not, it does seem wasteful to me. What 1 would really like is kind of a tree in a tub that could be picked up and carried inside and used for a Christmas tree. Then I could go bananas and hang all my apples and oranges and lemons and limes on the tree and get turned on by the odor without feeling guilty about the tree. Wherein lies a basic key to my makeup: Long hours are spent trying to figure out how to get what I want without feeling guilty about it. Usually without such great success, but what the hell, it keeps me occupied. Saw them hauling trees into the Union on the 3rd, I think. The 3rd of December! Poor tree does even have a chance to let its branches sag and look ugly. (You think all those trees really look that bad when you go out to cut your own? Try going back in January, you wouldn’t believe the difference.) Here’s your fresh Christmas trees, folks. Guaranteed not to have been cut before the first of October. Maybe we should just put tinsel on a pumpkin. Mumble, gripe, bitch, complain, growl! Alright already. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. May all your marks be A’s, and may you not have to return a single Christmas present. And if you start to feel weird, you might let it occur to you that the other person just might feel the same way that you do. It’s a tough time of year for many of us. Take a Holiday-phobic to lunch over the vacation. Take care, come back well.

Host Steubenville the Lion’s first captured Invitiational Tournament last Central defeating weekend, Michigan 41-36 in the tournament final at St. John’s Arena Saturday night. Central Michigan defeated American University in the tourney opener, coming from behind for a 93-90 victory. The second contest pitted the Bulls against the host Barons. Buffalo had taken an early lead against glue-fingered Steubenville squad, who would rather pass than shoot. Leading 30-23, the Bulls had a chance to increase their lead to nine but missed a shot and the cashed Barons in on the opportunity to score and pull within five at halftime. Brawley puts Bulls ahead Steubenville battled back in the second half to command a four-point lead (4440) with threy minutes left. Then the real fun began. Horace Brawley turned into a one-man scoring machine, cashing in on two field goals and five of six free throws to give the Bulls what appeared to be a winning cushion of 4948 with ten seconds left and the Bulls retaining possession of the ball. Tom Tobias then missed an easy layup, grabbed his own rebound and turned the ball over on a traveling violation with five seconds left. The ball was put into , play and the Barons’ Jim Garrigan was fouled by Ken Pope with no time remaining on the clock. Garrigan coolly dropped both charity tosses through the hoop, giving victory to the undefeated Barons. “All 1 can say is 1 didn’t do it,” said Pope about his foul. “I saw him coming and I jumped away from him. I played close to him all game and kept his shooting down (Garrigan, the Barons’ leading scorer, was 2 of 14 from the field). You’ve got to give him credit. He made those two shots under pressure with no time left on the clock,” Pope added. The Bulls lost another close contest Saturday, dropping an 85-76 decision to American. Buffalo, down 44-42 at the half, fell behind quickly after the halftime break, and the Eagles never looked back. Bulls to settle on starters “1 think we’re getting better,” remarked Richardson. “We’re beginning to look like a basketball team. Right now we’ve got to settle on a starting five and work on that. Right now that five would be Goss and Pope at guards, Dickinson and Brawley at the forward spots and either Tobias or Jones at center.” One bright spot for the Bulls was Brawley’s improved play during the tournament. Brawley was runnerup in the MVP voting, won by Steubenville’s Tim Hirten. Hirten was instrumental in the Baron’s championship contest, which saw only one field goal attempt (by Central Michigan) in the first ten minutes of the second half. “1 thought he (Brawley) looked like himself again,” observed Richardson. “He showed a lot of leadership out there tonight (Saturday).” Union Board^^^^^f M Dec. 13 14 Conference Theater presents - From the Master of Shock A Shocking Masterpiece! wjt • •• A deadly new twist from the original Hitchcock.

The Terriers also would have lost the services of sophomores Bill Buckton and Pete Marzo had they not sued the ECAC and NCAA recently for the right to return to intercollegiate competition. A preliminary injunction issued several days ago granted Buckton and Marzo the right to play for Boston University until the case is decided, probably in 1974. The precedent for the ECAC’s ruling against Buckton and Marzo was set when the ECAC declared Decloe ineligible last season and ordered Boston U. to forfeit the games in which Decloe participated. The ECAC ruled that all “foreign” hockey players who receive “salary, educational expense, or any expense in excess of actual and necessary travel expenses” had forfeited their eligibility. IN addition, any player competing in Tier One Junior A hockey would be ineligible. The ruling also stated that those players competing before the 1971-72 season (the rule was passed in 1971) would not be penalized had they played Tier One Junior A hockey before the 1971-72 season. Decloe played for the London Knights during the 1970-71 season. While playing with the Knights, Decloe s team paid an education tax for him. Decloe’s experience in Junior A hockey and the fact that his tax was paid for him by the London team were held against him by the ECAC. Understandably, the athletic department at Boston University did not want to repeat the Decloe experience. Therefore, when an investigation by Boston University disclosed the fact that Buckton and Marzo might be ineligible, athletic director Warren Schmakel declared that Buckton and Marzo could not play hockey. The ECAC ruled Buckton and Marzo ineligible in August. However, Buckton and Marzo retained a lawyer, and when subsequent evidence showed that Buckton and Marzo had violated a rule which was repealed in 1971, Boston U. declared them to be eligible. The ECAC refused to follow suit. The court suit which gave Buckton and Marzo the right to play hockey followed the ECAC’s refusal. Buckton and Marzo had received money for travel, room and board expenses. As Judge Joseph Tauro said; “There is no difference between what they received and what someone would receive at Andover Academy.” Certainly, American players have received more than Buckton and Marzo did in the form of scholarships at prep schools like Andover Academy. Scholarships covering tuition, room and board have been issued many times to Americans who have continued to play hockey in college. The ECAC has always used a “double standard” applying one rule to Americans and another to Canadians and other foreign players. A ruling that Canadian Junior college transfers had to sit out one year after transferring (unlike players from American Junior colleges who are immediately eligible) cost the hockey Bulls the services of Les Teplicky and Dale Dolmage for one year each. These rules should be revised so the “double standard” policy is ended. — $3.69 Lp $4.77 Tape $3.69 Lp $4.77 Tape $3.69 Lp $4.77 Tape ZZ TOP d c ,'"'pM Auditorium .

They skated over, under, around and through the hockey Bulls last Friday and Saturday nights and came away with 14-4 and 7-1 victories at Twin Rinks. The Bulls’ record dropped to an even .500 (5-5) with the double defeat. Ohio State has won five of their eleven any advantage the Bulls gained by Steve Lustig in the diving contests. Buffalo had pulled within six points of Spectrum Staff Writer An inexperienced but much improved squad of Buffalo swimmers opened the season on a losing note, as they bowed to Hobart College 60-53 on Monday. The Bulls, who captured first place finishes in 7 of 12 events, Hobart, only to have sprinters Vince Droser and Mike Mulcahey sew up the meet for Hobart with victories in the 100 and 200-yard events. Buffalo captured 3 of the last 4 events, but the match had already been decided by that defeated because of the point. depth of the Hobart Hobart coach Robert Beaudry swimmers. The Statesmen was not rejoicing after his team’s repeatedly had three swimmers victory. “It’s early in the season, competing against two Buffalo but I expected more from my mermen in the 12 events. men,” said Beaudry. “Buffalo is Although only the top two stronger than last year [Hobart finishers counted for Hobart, the won last year 74-39] but we still extra man racing was decisive in have to work harded. It was only the second match of the season many events. The Bulls were led by diver and we still have to work with our Kell Wurl, who scored victories in freshmen,” added Beaudry. the one meter optional dive and the one meter required dive. Wurl Sanford pleased Buffalo coach Bill Sanford was captured both events easily with scores of 157.15 and 134.55 in better spirits after the meet. “I respectively. Wurl’s teammate, was very pleased for the first provided Leo, the best dive meet. It was a better showing than Tim of the meet obtaining scores of I anticipated [after scouting 5.5, 5.5, and 7 out of a possible 7 Hobart],” acknowledged Sanford. with a reverse dive from the “(Bill) Pericak had his fastest time ever in the backstroke, and both layout position. Carl Gebauer and Karl Schachtner did fine jobs. He’s (Gebauer] Hobart dominates sprints smaller than others but he did an However, Hobart dominated in exemplary job the in the spring events to easily offset breaststroke,” the Bull mentor noted.

The Buckeyes, who showed that they had lost none of their fire-power despite losing four to forwards due regular graduation, turned a 3-2 game into a 5-2 contest with a pair of goals shortly before the end of their first period Friday night. The Bulls trailed the Buckeyes by only 2-1 after the first period of Saturday’s contest, but a pair of goals forty-one seconds apart and then another pair ten seconds apart in the middle period gaveOhio State a 6-1 lead after two stanzas. Two lines did most of the damage for the Buckeyes. Captain Ray Meters’ trio, with Steve Pankiw and Bill Davidge tallied eight times in the two games. The line featuring Bruce Allworth and Cecil Jacobs, which was centered by Paul Davis on Friday night and Hugh Prentice Saturday, scored nine times against Buffalo. underestimated the Buckeyes, “1 expected what they were going to have,” said Farkas. “I knew that they were powerful. They were scoring almost all of their goals from the slot,” Farkas added. Bull coach Ed Wright was dismayed at the fact that the Bulls had been outscored 4-0 in the second period Saturday night. “We played two decent periods of hockey and, as usual, had one bad period,” said Wright. “Hopefully, before the season’s over, we’re going to put together three periods of consistent hockey.” “All I ask is for us to play our of hockey,” Wright style continued. “We skated better and played much better tonight (Saturday). 1 think that Mike Perry (defenseman who missed Friday’s game due to his ejection from a previous contest) and Mark Sylvester were outstanding.” puck in the net both nights,” observed Ohio State Coach Gerry “We Wsflford. got very When goal-hungry. the opportunities came, we took advantage of them, and it made a big difference.” Walford acknowledged that the Buckeyes had gone out in search of skaters last year. “We’ve got to have kids that can skate,” said Walford. “That’s definitely the prime requisite.”' Bull goaltender, John Moore, who turned aside 40 of 47 shots in Saturday night’s contest, compared . the Buckeyes to Green’s Bowling Falcons, Buffalo’s first home opponents this season. “I think Bowling Green sets up better,” analysed Moore. “Ohio State tried to break out with one man and have someone follow up and look for the rebounds. They (Buckeyes) didn’t waste any time they looked for the open man in front of the net. They get their shots off fast and have that guy waiting for anything that comes back out at him,” Moore added. — Bulk to play Ithaca Buffalo will try to win its fourth and fifth Division II games without a defeat this weekend, taking on Ithaca at Cornell’s Lynah Rink.

The two students, one graduate and one undergraduate, will be selected by President Robert Ketter from lists submitted by the Student Association (SA) and Graduate Student Association (GSA). The approved resplution guarantees that the students, who will be non-voting members, will adhere to the confidentiality of Review Board proceedings. The two students will “examine dossiers to determine whether Review Board guidelines for soliciting student input have been followed,” and will “broaden the base of input data available to the Review Board.” The resolution must now be by the entire Faculty-Senate and President Robert Ketter before it can officially take effect. Faculty-Senate Chairman Gil Moore will recommend on behalf of the Faculty-Senate Executive Committee that the resolution be supported. approved Opposition to the proposal was originally expected from faculty members, as some argued that allowing students to be present at tenure discussions would violate the principle of peer review, as mandated by faculty contract. However, proponents of the proposal said the students’ non-voting status meant peer review would not be violated. ‘Two weeks ago, most of the Executive Committee members said we were foolish for bringing up the issue and there was no prayer of serious consideration,” Mr. Dandes noted. However, in the past week, Mr. Dandes and Mr.. “I feel that this proposal represents a strong step forward for student input into faculty personnel decisions. I am hopeful that it will be passed by the full Faculty-Senate and approved by the President,” said former GSA President Joe Poveronio. “I am gratified by the action of the Poveromo met with every Executive Committee and by Executive Committee member to their sensitivity to an issue that explain the proposal and alleviate we have been concerned with for their initial fears about it.

No. 41 State University of New York at Buffalo *Genetic Friday, 7 December 1973 inferiorityShockley silenced in N. Y. Editor’s note: In 1969psychologist Arthur Jensen published a report suggesting that blacks scored lower than whites on IQ tests because of genetic factors. This ignited a national controversy and caused Dr. Jensen and proponents of his theories to be branded by maty as “racist. ’’Part I of this series deals with the obstacles facing proponents of so-called genetic inferiority, most recently encountered at Staten Island Community College, and describes the alleged curtailment of their academic freedom. Part 2 will examine the scientific basis behind Jensenism and explain what opponents and proponents have to say about Dr. Jensen's conclusions. by Gary Cohn Contributing Editor William Shockley, the Nobel prize-winning physicist who has become embroiled in the controversy over race, heredity and intelligence, rose to speak to the crowd at Staten Island Community College. He was greeted by a clapping, whistling, shouting group of students intent on preventing him from speaking because, as one student said: “You don’t let racists talk.” The Shockley incident occurred two weeks ago, four yean after psychologist Arthur Jensen Tint published a report suggesting that the IQ deficit of blacks on the average about 10 to 20 points less than whites on most intelligence tests could be attributed predominantly to hereditary differences in genes. - — Branded ’racist’ Jrt**y logy Today, The Jensen Report challenged the long-standing doctrine that all men are created equal, regardless of race. Outraged academicians and non-professionals alike attacked the Jensen Report as “racist” and “unscientific.” Proponents of Jensenism, particularly William Shockley and Richard Hermstein, have also faced charges of “racism” in their attempts to explain the difference between black and white IQ *. Copyright (c) Zlff-Davlt Publishing Company. scores. .-H— Dr. Shockley, a Stanford University physicist who won the Nobel Prize as the co-inventor of the transistor, became interested in the relationship between race and heredity shortly after the Jensen Report was released. He is well-known for his controversial “bonus sterilization clan,” under which both blacks and whites with sufficiently low IQs would receive cash incentives if they agreed to be sterilized. This sterilization plan has been advocated by Dr. Shockley because of his fear of dysegenics which he defines as retrogressive evolution through the disproportionate reproduction of die genetically disadvantaged. Simply stated, dysegencis is an undesirable change in the gene pool. If implemented on a large scale, this sterilization plan would amount to a mass breeding of society in which persons of lower intelligence would not reproduce. Additionally, Dr. Shockley has frequently described blacks as “genetically inferior,” according to an article by Berkeley Rice in the December 1973 issue of Psychology Today. Clapping and shouting Dr. Shockley was one of four scheduled speakers at Staten Island Community College (SICC). He was originally the only speaker, but after initial protest to his invitation, three other speakers of opposing views were invited to “balance” the program. The first two speakers, Thomas Sever and Marc Lappe, attacked the Shockley/Jensen argument. As Dr. Shockley began his presentation, a small group of students began their clapping, shouting and blowing of police whistles. Frances Welsing, a black psychiatrist and fervent opponent of the Shockley doctrine appealed to the crowd to let Dr. Shockley speak. Although most of the crowd apparently wanted to listen and some argued with the demonstrators, the disruptions continued. The number of demonstrators was estimated at between SO and 100, out of a crowd of about 1000 people. There was an “organized effort” to stop Dr. Schockley from speaking, according to Fred Armentrout, editor of the News Ferry, Staten Island’s student newspaper. “Stop Shockley’ Contrary to news reports, explained Mr. Armentrout, the demonstrators were not operating out of “a Progressive Labor Party [PLP] power base." Instead, the student government was the prime force in organizing the demonstration, according to Mr. Armentrout.

Black students generally opposed this movement and attempted to disassociate themselves from it. —continued from pag* 1— William Birenbaum, S1CC President, halted the program after 25 minutes of the disturbance, and later said Dr. Shcokley was "outraged” because his “ability to speak had not been implemented.” Campus security officers had lined the hall but did not move against the demonstrators because they had been instructed to act only to maintain physical order. “Dr. Shockley was ready to be pinned to the wall by the other speakers,” said Dr. Birenbaum. “Fear, paranoia or dosed minds” may have been responsible for the demonstrators’ action' he speculated. The demonstrators gave three reasons for their vehement effort to prevent Dr. Shockley from speaking. First, they claimed his ideas have already resulted in a cutback in government funds for Head Start and compensatory educational programs: “Why try to help someone by altering their environment when genetics have already determined their outcome?” the demonstrators’ attitude was explained in the Village Voice. Secondly, they claim that Shockley’s theories are scientifically incorrect. Finally, the “stop Shockley” coalition believes that “low IQ propaganda threatensblacks with imminent oppression as inferiors, and must therefore be stopped without worrying about free speech,” the Voice reported. ‘To be against racism is a very idealistic thing,” commented Dr. Birenbaum. “But to be for the First Amendment [freedom of speech] is also a very idealistic thing.” Couldn’t teach course This is not the first time Dr. Shockley’s stand on IQ and heredity have immersed him in controversy. In 1972, Stanford University refused to allow Dr. Shockley to teach a course on genetics, explaining that such a course would be “polemical” and that his qualifications to teach the course were “subject to doubt.” Although Dr. Shockley is a renowned scientist, critics have contended that his lack of formal training and research render him unqualified to teach in that area. Additionally, the University of Leeds recently rescinded an honorary degree awarded him for his work in electrical engineering because of his views on race. When the Leeds Speakers Association later announced his scheduled appearance at a debate last year, a group of outraged students “blocked” his invitation, according to Duke Weiss, a State University of Buffalo student spending a semester at Leeds. And when Dr. Shockley recently appeared on British television, a fight erupted in the studio audience between his opponents and those who supported his right to speak. A similar public outcry greeted the 1969 Jensen Report and its author, an educational psychologist at the University of California at Berkeley. “Almost overnight I became a cause celebre, at least on college campuses. 1 had spoken ... ‘the unspeakable.’ Too many Americans, 1 had thought the unthinkable,” Dr. Jensen maintained. ‘ r v Eight educational psychologists from this University rebutted in a letter to the Harvard Educational Review: “While it might be desirable to have access to the commentary and criticism of Jensen’s article when discussing it, it is not in the best scientific or academic tradition to insist that a scholary product must be ringed-about by interpretations before it is circulated further within the scholarly community Your policy.appears to be at best anti-intellectual, and at worst a form of censorship.” Under mounting pressure and criticism, the Review finally reversed their position and agreed to distribute reprints of the Jensen Report. ... Called ‘obscene’ The next obstacle to the Jensen Report the Society for the Psychological Study of Social Issues (SFSSI). They released a statement calling Dr. Jensen’s report “unwarranted by the present state of scientific knowledge.” The SPSS1 also set up a commission to study the Jensen Report, consisting of 11 members one of whom had previously called Dr. Jensen a “white supremacist;” another who had termed his article “obscene;” a third who had labelled his report “academic manure.” Another member of the commission concluded that the Jensen Report contained “53 major all of them errors or misinterpretations When Jensen asked for Dr. anti-black.” clarification of the “53 errors,” he had to wait two years before receiving a reply. Earlier this year, a group of students assaulted Hans Eysenck, a British psychologist who supports the Jensen view on race and heredity. came ffom - ... Nazi tactics charged “I have never experienced such a physical attack since I was in Nazi Germany. At least, I expected it to happen I shall in the Nazi days, but not here have to think twice about addressing students again," concluded Dr. Eysenck. Harvard professor Richard Hermstein, another proponent of Jensenism, has met with similar opposition: “Radical groups disrupted his classes and lectures, and generally made his life unpleasant,” Dr. Rice reported in Psychology Today. The Harvard Crimson, the student newspaper, stated in an editorial that the “threat of Hermstcin’s ideas is more dangerous than the threat of the radical groups that had disrupted his classes.” ‘In some cases,” wrote the Crimson, “when theorists become policy-makers, the distinction between ideas and action vanishes. In such cases, the phrase intellectual freedom no longer applies and academic community can no longer offer ... sanctuary.” “White supremacist’ The Jensen Report became the subject of stories in Time, Life,, Newsweek, The New York Times and other national publications. These stories “played up the racial aspect of Jensen’s article, rather than his complex analysis of the relationship between heredity and intelligence,” Berkeley Rice commented in Psychology Today. An “outcry to fire Dr.' Jensen” immediately followed the Jensen Report, explained Norman Solkoff, professor of Psychology at the State University of Buffalo. Irate students at Berkeley clamored for his dismissal, SDS handbills labeled him as “Berkeley’s white supremacist,” and student demonstrators interrupted his classes, prompting Dr. Jensen to move his seminars to secret meeting places. The Harvard Educational Review, which published the Jensen Report, halted sales of reprints of the report amidst the public furor. They decided to withhold further distribution of the Jensen Report until they could solicit comments and opposing viewpoints. The Jensen Report “presents a view of intelligence that we feel must be read in the context of expert discussion from other psychologist and geneticists,” the editors. Friday, The American Anthropological Association has also condemned the “racist, sexist or anti-working class theories of genetic inferiority” of Dr. Jensen, Dr. Shockley and Dr. Hermstein as “dangerous and unscientific.” False label ‘The civil rights movement that gained momentum into the 1950s ‘required’ liberal academic adherence to the theory that the environment was responsible for any individual or racial behavioral differences, and the corollary belief in genetic equality in intelligence,” Dr. Jensen maintained in an article in Psychology Today (December 1972). ‘Thus, when I questioned such beliefs I, and my theories, quickly acquired the label racist. I resent this label, and consider it unfair and inaccurate.” Dr. R,ice continued: “Jensen and Hermstein have questioned our society’s social and academically accepted belief in Perhaps the liberals, genetic equality who normally would be the first to defend intellectual freedom, failed to do so this time because it meant freedom to question one of their own cherished beliefs.” “Their commitment to intellectual freedom may hold only so long as their own ox is not gored," he concluded. ... 7 December 1973 The Spectrum Page three . . �Marriage? Coupling and uncoupling, a natural phenom enon now by Jacqui Schock Spectrum * Staff Writer Can the legal formality of marriage help secure a relationship? Marriage and other alternatives were discussed by a panel of eight at the final human sexuality lecture sponsored by Life Workshops. Jerry, who has been married for 24 years has two grown-up children who are leaving home, is “struggling to work out a relationship without children.” He felt there is no difference in the “kinds of loyalties one has to one’s mate if two people are married or simply living together. At the time when I got married, the thought of living together never really entered my mind, and it would have definitely freaked out my relatives,” he said. Body and mind Sex was the major factor that sparked his marriage, Jerry explained, because he “needed his wife’s body and mind. “After sex wasn’t as important to us anymore, we began to struggle over the traditional roles of men and women.

But as unheralded and uncharismatic as they seem, the Norton maintenance staff performs a variety of tasks and singlehandedly prevents the building from deteriorating into a rubbish heap. Maintaining Norton is no easy task for the crew of twenty-two men. Because an average of 28,000 people use the building daily, the staff is on duty 24 hours each day. The crew covers all areas of the building except the food service and bookstore, which are self-contained units.

Page four The Spectrum Friday, 7 December 1973 . . - �Professors endeavor to inititate Office of Teaching Effectiveness by Cassle Roberts As the age-old controversy over teaching versus research continues to be debated across the University, several professors are trying a new approach: they are seeking to establish an Office of Teaching Effectiveness. “That’s how things get done in this University,” said Allen Kuntz with a smile. “It starts with someone who cares.” Since 1970, Dr. Kuntz has been organizing and working with various committees concerned with monitoring and evaluating the effectiveness of teaching at this University. There is a subliminal pressure in this University on teachers to publish, noted Dr. Kuntz. However, “excellence in teaching” is the primary factor in determining the quality of a school, he believes. The director of the Student Testing Service, Dr. Kuntz, is heading a committee which will investigate the possibility of establishing an Office of Teaching Effectiveness. Such an office will enable both students and faculty to have input into the methods of evaluating and examining the effectiveness of teachers and teaching methods at this University. More feedback sought The person largely responsible for determining how such an office would operate is Bruce Francis of the Survey Research Center. He presently views it as “an operation within Student Testing and Research." In gathering information about how the program would work, Dr. Francis and other members of Dr. Kuntz’s committee have concentrated their efforts in three areas: -An analysis of courses and teaching. This involves the use of the ACT (Analysis of Courses and Teaching) forms distributed in the classrooms, in which students tell what they like and don’t like about their instructors and their courses. However, this feedback is only “half the job” as it offers no means by which teaching can be improved, said Dr. Francis. Research in this area indicates that “student evaluations of teaching effectiveness when based on properly-designed questionnaires and when properly evaluated can provide a valid, reliable gauge of teaching effectiveness," he explained. An Office of Teaching Effectiveness would seek to eliminate “faculty suspicions of the validity of these evaluations.” - — development programs. These efforts would aim at offering various opportunities to improve faculty skills primarily in teaching, but also in research. This could be accomplished through the use of reading materials, which the Office of Teaching Effectiveness would provide, and seminars and workshops which “could provide faculty with an opportunity to interact with one another in discussing good teaching,” explained Dr. Francis. The Office hopes to provide more widespread incentives for the improvement of teaching at this University. This could be achieved by offering public recognition for good teaching; in the form of contract renewal, personnel advancement in which teaching effectiveness promotion and tenure would “be given more weight than it has been up to. this time;” and monetary rewards such as salary hikes and merit raises. In the area of research and development, the Office of Teaching Effectiveness “could act as a source of funds for faculty members who wish to experiment with innovative teaching styles,” he commented, hoping that this would encourage a more creative approach to teaching. -Improving the method of evaluation. Present evaluation methods are “not the ultimate” but a “modest beginning,” said Dr. Francis. In the long run, a totally new method of evaluating teaching may emerge. Research is University community, Dr. Francis believes. being done to determine how the currently-used ACT James McConnell, associate professor of Geography, is forms can be made more sensitive and flexible.

Spectrum Staff Writer — — James McConnell Financial aid Possible consolidation of programs by Ian DeWaal Campus Editor Consolidation of all the existing programs of student financial aid in the state under one agency has been recommended by the New York State Senate Committee on Higher Education. Citing the fragmentation of existing programs of college financial aid, the Committee concluded that the system “has lost touch” with, the needs of the students it is intended to setve. They recommended the creation of a Higher Education Services Committee as an umbrella organization for financial aid. Senate Majority Leader Warren B. Anderson, who endorsed the report, said he had been alerted to the problems of distributing financial aid in his own district when two students living on his block, each with a father employed by the same com- pany and with similar incomes, applied for loans at different colleges in the State University of New York (SUNY). One student received an award while the other was found ineligible. ‘100 times over’ “If such inequities exist within our State University, it is not difficult to imagine that such cases are magnificed 100 times over across the State, with its vast public and private university complex,” said Sen. Anderson. When asked if there was a detrimental lack of coordination among the various financial aid programs in. the State, Director of Student Financial Aids for SUNY Central Administration Martin Lcfkovits said: “Very definitely. Not only is there a multiplicity of applications, but the criteria are different, sometimes only for the reason that the programs were created at different times,” he said. ‘There an overlapping of programs, not they were planned that way, but it just happened.” Committee found that different agencies consider economic status, social condition and academic performance when granting aid, but that the standards for each agency are so varied that the system is not only confusing but inequitable. “A sensible, uniform and simplified balance of the three broad concerns” should be “incorporated into the State’s effort in student financial aid,” he addqd. New York State directly supports 16 separate aid programs, including scholarships, grants and loans, according to the report. In addition, non-state governments, private businesses, foundations and other agencies support over 70 separate aid programs involving scholarships, grants; work-study and loans. “The existing and emerging non-State programs with their varying eligibility and is also because because The awards standards make the State’s Higher Education Assistance efforts even more complicated,” the report stated. Mr. Lefkovits agreed that some sort of centralized administrative agency would benefit the financial aid programs in the State: “Any administrative mechanism which would at least lessen the number of applications a student had to complete would be a favorable result.” No final reaction is forthcoming at this time from SUNY Central Administration, reported Mr. Lefkovits. “We have received a copy of the report and have started going over it.” Central Administration as well as any other group must make their responses by January I. After that date, the Committee will begin drafting legislation to implement its findings. ‘The particular mechanism they tthe Committee] are suggesting may or may not be the proper one,” said Mr. Lefkovits. “I am not ruling it out, we just haven’t made a final analysis yet. It is in the right direction,” he continued. “Specifically what mechanism should be . a single agency doing both the needs analysis and I the. award or two separate agencies just don’t know.” .. ...

There have been no reported attempts this year and only one is on record for last year. Although state law requires Campus Security to be notified, it is possible some suicide attempts by students on campus have been handled by other organizations such as Sunshine House or the Suicide Prevention and Crisis Service. “Even if there were a large number of attempted suicides and they weren’t reported, we would have heard about them through the grapevine," Mr. Griffin commented. Some rural schools might have more of a problem with depression and suicide due to the the complete change boredom in lifestyle from the urban environment for the out-of-town student, Mr. Griffin explained. Campus Security, at 196 Winspcar Avenue, can be reached 24 hours a day at 831-5555. — Incarceration Nine states in the US. still maintain that suicide is a criminal offense, but New York State is not one of them. Suicide and suicide attempts in this state are covered under the Health Code, which in turn, under Federal law, mandates that every state must provide mandatory psychiatric hospitalization of three to fifteen days for any person attempting suicide. The actions required of Campus Security in attempted suicides can therefore be viewed not as punitive in nature, but rather as necessary so the person in question receives proper counseling. But many critics familiar with the nature and practices of psychiatric hospitals find this hospitalization provision objectionable. Critics of the Federal law also point out the contradiction of a person being forcibly incarcerated for a non-criminal offense and the tremendous power this gives psychiatrists when they are legally able to commit a person to months or years in a hospital without the person’s consent and, many times, without court review of the case. Once a person becomes a patient in a psychiatric or mental hospital, he is stripped of his legal rights; the protections afforded the individual under the Constitution and the Bill of Rights are tossed right out the window. An American citizen, once incarcerated after a suicide attempt, becomes something less than an American citizen. In the last couple of years, however, efforts have been made to insure that the confined patient retains his legal rights as a citizen. Empathizing with the caller “Most of the suicides we get are not going to be terminal, that is, not completed. Most people can be talked out of it once they realize how final it is” and see there is “some hope or a helluva lot more hope” than they thought, said a spokesman from Sunshine House. Sunshine House, the 24-hour crisis center located at 106 Winspear Avenue, is available not only to the University, but to the whole Buffalo community as well. Its 24-hour number is 831-4046. In training their own staff, Sunshine House volunteers are given no concrete ways of dealing with crisis calls or situations. Instead, the training program is designed to give the volunteers “ideas of good psychological methods” to use in crisis counseling. These “methods” emphasize “tuning into the caller’s emotions and empathizing; relaxing and calming him down,” explained the spokesman. In a number of indirect ways, volunteers try asking callers the question: “What’s bothering you? What would make you want to commit suicide?” He continued; “Motives are the hardest thing to see. What we try to do is to throw out subtle suggestions to draw out their motives.” determine the caller’s physical and try to get his address so he can receive proper medical aid.

Amateur wrestling defines the word fish in a different, more specific manner than Webster’s Dictionary. A fish is a wrestler that is weak, not very skilled and usually easy to beat. In short, a fish is a wrestler that just can’t wrestle. As a sports writer and fan, wrestling has always been one of ipy favorite sports. In high school I found it fun and exciting as long as it wasn’t me that was wrestling. I became a close follower of the sport in my high school as well as the whole county. It still gives me a kick to see a former Suffolk County star reach national prominence on the college level. Fish — * - Constantly pinned My own junior high school career, of course, was as fishy as they come. After I was cut from the basketball team, the wrestling coach (also my football coach) talked me into going out for wrestUhg. Practices were long, hard, hot and hopelessly boring. As a fish I grew accustomed to getting pinned, wrestling’s ultimate disgrace. Seven of the losses in my 0-8 record were by the pin route. I even developed an infection bn the small of my back due to such constant exposure to the mat. Only a callous disregard for what pride I have left, as well as the passage of time, allows me to admit to such a hapless career. Nonetheless, something about the sport appealed to me, and though I never went out for the wrestling ttam again I studied the sport as a fan and enthusiastic gym class participant. Last year, while writing about Buffalo's varsity squad, I would work out with some of the guys from time to time. Since junior high, I have picked up a few things along the way. I can safely say that compared to the average student, I’m a pretty good wrestler. But comparedtp a wrestler. I’m no wrestler. enforcement and does enjoy having a Short-haired, well-groomed team. At first, revolting at the though of having to shave my mustache, I was almost ready to drop the whole thing My initial reaction was one of philosophical indignation toward a dehumanizing statute. But when this wave of idealistic emotion subsided, I realized that there was a better and simpler reason not to shave: In my case, the rule simply that %•_ faid not apply. Ball-buster? The meet I was to wrestle in would be one between a school and its own alumni not between two schools. The meet was totally unofficial, strict weight classes would not be kept, and the length of matches would not be uniform. (Each alumni was to wrestle with a team member who would give him a close match, for a length of time that would vary with the age and which he did not agree in a situation where it did not apply. There was no which he did not agree in a si teat km where it did not apply. These was no force compelling him to enforce an NCAA rule in a non-NCAA event. What’s more, be certainly wasn't going to make the alumni participants dispose of whatever excess hair they might possess. His argument went something like this (Whether he really meant it or was just good-naturedly busting my balk I guess I’ll never know): I was to become a team member for a week and was to be treated like one in every way. I would be issued the same equipment, go through the same practice and be treated like anyone eke. Everyone on the team would have to shave, so I would have to shave as well. “It will give you the full value of the experience,” he said. -“Everybody else just bullshits about it. but you'll really know how they feel.” - To shave or not to shave It was right about then i figured I didn’t want that much of an experience. Wrestling and practicing would be quite enough. 1 was already worried about the pain, exhaustion and humiliation. I couldn’t buy the doable standard of my having to shave while others in the same event would not. No matter what anyone said or did. I could never be a real member of the team.

Michael is an odd kind of guy. He is dedicated and straight-laced at his job. But when you get to know him he’s got a good sense of humor, though many of his quips seem to come from another world. Many a quick “Michaelism” has left me speechless. Michael is a salesman and promoter of the first order. As a writer, I wish 1 had his imagination. He’s come up with some of the wildest ideas I’ve heard in recent years. And I’m his favorite sounding board. Several weeks ago, Michael suggested that I work out with the team for a week and write a George Plimpton-type article about my experience. 1 was intrigued by the idea. Despite my better judgment and lackluster career, it seemed like a fun thing to do. ‘You’ll have to shave’ Here was the plan; The team was to have a special meet against a squad of past graduates who had once wrestled for the school. I would start with the team Monday, practice for the week and then have an actual match in the meet the following Saturday. Within minutes after the suggestion, however, the coach and I came face to face on major hassle number one. “Of course you’ll have to shave your mustache,” he said. Rule 1 Section 11 of the N.C.A.A. wrestling regulations reads as follows: "Contestants shall be clean shaven, free of mustaches, sideburns trimmed nff lower than the ear lobe and hair trimmed and well groomed. Because of the body contact involved, this rule has been approved in the interests of health, sanitary and safety measures." There are further stipulations as to the length of hair. Before this rule was liberalized several years ago, no sideburns at all were allowed and hair on the top of the head was kept even shorter. Even in its present form, however, the rule is pretty archaic. Looking for an oat The “health and safety" dangers of long and facial hair have been greatly exaggerated. The headgear used in wrestling can cover the top of the head as well as the sideburns area. However, 1 don’t advocate open rebellion against the rule; while it is in effect, it must be followed. Perhaps within a year or two, rationality will prevail the rule be further modified, perhaps to allow mustaches and longer hair and'sideburns. (Michael himself plans on raising the mustache question at the next coaches’ meeting). But as long as it is on the books, anyone who wants to wrestle has no realistic alternative except martyrdom. While of the rule, he insists on its Michael does not favor believing it.) While there was definitely moa far improvement, I couldn't see bow the timely departure of the three inches of hair under my nose would make me a better wrestler, or detract from the total experience. The coach agreed to let me practice with my hairy upper Up because the team had not been made to date until its sixth week of practice, and this would ouly be my first. But he stood firm on the match. It would be any decision to shave and wrestle, or not hare and not wrestle. 1 wanted to wrestle, the practice didn't auke a whole lot of sense without it. and I wwas startup to resign myself to shaving. But 1 knew 1 would have until the last minute to make a decision, and I could still work on Michael amd maybe get him to see it iny way.

Bruce Francis, Allen Kuntz and James McConnell are laying the groundwork in committee research for the much-needed creation of an Office of Teaching Effectiveness. An idea whose time has most definitely come, this office would take steps to improve the methods by which students evaluate their courses and teachers. They are studying the presently-used ACT forms to determine how student input can be most effectively and accurately utilized. This Office would even take a giant step beyond student feedback: instituting development programs in which faculty members could actively upgrade their teaching skills through interaction, seminars, reading material, workshops, and cash incentives and bonuses for outstanding teaching. When the committee's finished proposals are presented to the Faculty-Senate, we hope its members will exhibit the same sensitivity to the necessity for quality teaching as its executive committee showed Wednesday for student concerns and make the Office of Teaching Effectiveness a reality. - Gum chewer exiled — To the Editor. An incident occuring this past week in a first-level music course should be called to the attention of not only the students in Baird Hall, but also students in various other departments of the University. One student was quickly and unnecessarily ejected from a large lecture class because of the professor’s dislike for gum-chewing. This move seemed to be not only unnecessary and personally offensive to the student involved and the class, but also an uncalled-for disturbance and infringement of a personal freedom. It must be noted that this particular student was seated in an unobvious spot, and not likely to cause a distrubance within the class among such a large group. This attitude toward such personal habits is practically obsolete even at the high school level, and a total absurdity at a public University.

In his major opus, Das Capital, Marx painstakingly indicted capitalism as the basic mechanism of economic exploitation and the resulting economic misery in England. Although the legacy of Karl Marx has been revised and updated, it has resulted in little more than an attempt to shore up weak ideological concepts rather than a major revision of Marxism itself. This patchwork revision has resulted in the sad scenario of impressionistic parroting followers, attempting to use any outdated analytical tool upon a system that needs new, rather than old, methods of analysis. The idea that Marxism, as an intellectual system, no longer has validity in our modern world, should not come as any great shock. Every era in time has its own unique characteristics and flavor, defenders and detractors. Adam Smith, Herbert Spencer or other great intellects of their time are not accepted as the gospel in our society due to the rapidly-changing societal conditions which have made many of their ideas obsolete. There is no doubt that some of their ideas are still valid, but these have been tempered by time. Yet Karl Marx and many of his philosophic colleagues have been accepted as dogma by people whose brain processes are too lazy or slow to afford the luxury of original thought. The young campus radicals are attempting to critique a system that no longer exists in reality only in the mind of the Marxist. These campus radicals place upon the feet of this supposed capitalist system all the ills of modem society. Capitalism accounts for racism, inequality between the sexes, imperialism, worker alienation, and almost everything else under the sun. According to these misguided Marxists, once the capitalist system is removed, then these symptomatic ills will also disappear. Unfortunately, the ills of society will not disappear when capitalism is* removed; capitalism, in the form that Marx critiqued, died a long time ago. In countries that are supposedly socialist or communist, whatever your definition, the supposed ills of a capitalistic society are quite apparent. Racism, class inequality, pollution, drug abuse, worker alienation, et. al. arc found wherever a modem society exists not just in capitalist countries. Supposedly capitalists countries have moved far away from the crude model of Adam Smith and Karl Marx. American capitalism, allegedly the bulwark of the entire capitalistic system, is no longer capitalistic, but a mixed socialistic-capitalistic system. A factor that Marx did not totally foresee was the growth of a professional, self-perpetuating bureaucracy, far removed from the hurly-burly of national limelight, yet totally in control of all modem countries. Capitalism reformed itself and corrected its worst abuses, thus undercutting the main thrust of early radical criticism. As capitalism reformed, it took a closer resemblance to the systems of so-called socialist states, and within 20 years there will be no discernible difference. In order to comprehend the weakness of a Marxist critique, one must first understand the system that he was rebelling against. This system of classic capitalism propounded by the Manchester school of thought called for free unrestricted economic activity, unhampered by government control. The problem of supply and demand was to be regulated by a callous and unfeeling “iron hand,” which would keep economic activity at its qpper level. The key factor in this system would be the profit motive and all other considerations, either human or intellectual, would have to take a back seat. The capitalist' would be motivated by this profit motive, and since he controlled his business, he could react to changing market conditions. The workers were looked upon as a piece of machinery to be used when necessary and - - — discarded when no longer of any necessity. The classical economists did not really envision the worker at the mercy of the capitalist, for they assumed the “iron hand” would work in the workers’ favor as well. This classic capitalist system reached its powerful place in the sun at the same time that the Industrial Revolution occurred in England. Because many of the advocates of capitalism attributed the success of the Industrial Revolution to capitalism, the misery that attended this transformation have also been laid at the capitalistic doorstep. Marx was not the first critic of capitalism, nor was he the first socialistic thinker. His great contribution to society was the ability to tic together the confused mass of socialistic thinking, while liberally sprinkling his own genius upon the package. In Das Capital, Marx used the older notion of surplus value to show that capitalism could not function unless the worker was exploited. In revealing the basic flaws in the capitalistic system, Marx actually created his own economic system which he hoped would replace and destroy the exploitative capitalistic system. In addition to his purely economic writings, Marx, at time in conjunction with Engels, wrote essays upon the meaning of work, alienation, on the dialectic of history, and in essence, created an alternative philosophic, as well as economic, system. Yet the time has come to realize that the Marxian model has reached a point of no return it cannot critique a system that no longer conforms to the model’s basic Philosophically, the system has no limits as the Frankfort school has shown us, but economically it has very little value. The United States, the major capitalist country, is no longer ruled by a market economy. The bureaucracy of this country sets prices, wages and industrial regulations. The capitalist has been replaced by the huge conglomerate, in which he is just the hired hand of an entity that seems to have its own life. The government has assumed basic functions providing for the welfare of the its ability to provide these functions population is not as important as its acceptance of them. The dog-eat-dog capitalist mode) of competition has been replaced by a few large units wishing to maximize long-run profits rather than short-run gain. In essence, the system that Marx disliked so intensely has been replaced by a more sophisticated and possibly more dangerous system. Marx envisioned the State assuming the functions that the American government has now assumed, but he did not foresee it would remain in the hands of the middle- and upper-classes. He did not foresee the ability of the capitalist countries to reform and compromise so the basic ideology remained the same while the structure changed. Marx would shudder at the measures taken in the U55.R. in the name of socialism. It would seem as if the economic structure of both Russia and the U.S. has assumed similar basic characteristics. This common form assumed by the U S S R, and the U.S. is based on a need for a strong every facet of modern centralized state to life, in order to meet the problems created by an advanced technological society. One historian-economist, Calvin Hoover, has predicted that in a few years the economy of Russia and the Unitedj States will be almost identical. This changing structure has nothing to do with capitalism .or socialism it is a result of great technological innovations which render previous ideologies obsolete. If we accept the notion that capitalism has changed drastically, we must also assume that any critique of capitalism that is based on an older model must be rendered dysfunctional. What is needed is a new critique of this economic-political system based on present reality rather than past beliefs. Let us acknowledge our debt to great thinkers like Karl Marx, but let us move further into the present and develop our great thinkers. If we continue to utilize outmoded analytical tools, we will be unable to see the causes of our present - - control — The Pete Hamill Column (c) by Pete Ham21 1973. New York Pott New York now resembles some forlorn, shabby provincial capital last night, as Richard ‘I’m not a crook’’) Nixon has gone on TV again to rally us ‘round his latest plan for avoiding justice. Times Square was even seedier than usual; the great office buildings were black monoliths rising to the moonless sky; a chill wind, smelling of fear, depression, and corruption blew down the streets. Something is dying here, right before our eyes; it is as if our capacity for hope has been insulted one too many times. Nixon has a lot to do with all of this. The one thing that a cheap yegg cannot do is hustle New York forever; this town is wise to Nixon now, and nothing he says will ever again be taken seriously, unless it involves the threatened destruction ofNew York. Last night, he asked for dictatorial powers to deal with the energy crisis, and masked the request with a lot of fear-mongering, deception and kindergarten economics. He called on us to cooperate with him in “the spirit of discipline, self-restraint and unity” that has made America a great country, blah blah blah. But this was Richard Nixon saying these things; a man with so little discipline he has allowed the worst collection of hustlers in history to work in this administration; a man with so little self-restraint that he allowed any means to be used for his personal ends; a man who has done more to demolish national unity than anyone in this century. He asked for a IS per cent cut in gasoline usage, the closing of service stations from 9 p.m. on Saturdays to midnight on Sundays. He would impose a maximum speed limit of SO mph across the country (55 mph for buses and trucks), limit home oil supplies, and end ornamental lighting. The last item means that Times Square practically will go dark, possibly for years; it means no more Christmas decorations in downtown Brooklyn, or Rockefeller Center, or around private homes from Bensonhurst to Fordham Road. It means, in short, lhat Nixon wants an America and a New York that is as dismal, spiritless and dark as Nixon himself. Imagine what this will mean. First of all, the quality of life in djies will go even deeper into the American darkness. ‘It will mean,” Nixon said,” spending a little mote time at home.” He smiled a little when he said it. We have to remember that this is a man who" spent four years in New York in absolute anonymity, a man who hides out in tiny offices, or in walled fortresses in California or Key Biscayne. But New Yorkers like to use their city. They like restaurants, saloons, theaters, movie houses. They are not packrats; they are citizens. They don’t want anyone to tell them they have to stay home. But Nixon might succeed in making that happen, for the simple reason that there will be fewer and fewer places to go to, as this man spreads his schlocky plague. The closing of the gas stations will severely damage the Broadway theater; movie houses will suffer badly and so will the restaurants and other night places that feed off the theater and movie crowd. Tourists will simply stop coming to New York. The skyline and Times Square are our great symbolic glories, but Nixon’s wonderful management of the country will close them down for a long time. New Yorkers, already intimidated by crime, will also stay away in increasing numbers from the darkened streets of Manhattan. Well become like those hulks of cities out in America’s heartland: dead, empty, haunted. Nixon, as usual, did not name the real villains of this- mess. They are not simply the Arabs. We don’t really need Arab oil, and could easily resist their cheap blackmail. The villains are the American-controlled oil companies. We have supplies of natural gas and shale oil in America to last, by some estimates, 100 years. But the oil companies won’t go after those deposits until the prices are higher. Nixon didn’t say that last night. Instead, he called for “sacrifice.” Not from the oil companies; from working people. ... Well, maybe it doesn’t matter. In the Bronx, youth gangs which had one short bright season when they fought heroin and created a sense of community for themselves, have gone sour now, raping young girls, mutilating and murdering a transvestite. Arthur Logan, a good, brave man, dies after a fall from a viaduct, and you cannot believe it’s suicide. Three other New Yorkers killed themselves yesterday. In Spofford House, New York kids, fight guards, and are beaten down, engaged in spring training for later lives of violence and barbarism. And we sit in a dark city, with a cold wind blowing, facing three more years of Nixon, four years of Abe Beame, in a time of soaring prices and plunging stocks, confidence splintered, wallowing in criminality and mediocrity. There are more things going out around here than lights. problems. Fdday, 7 December 1973.

All the pleasures inherent in shuffling through piles and piles of ancient and not-so-ancient comic books were fully displayed by both youngsters and oldsters alike. Artists spoke, met with their fans, signed autographs and generally had the attention and respect they so justly deserve for their abilities in the world of ink and color. Tony Anello deserves a helluva lot of credit for bearing up under the constant organizational pressures that such an event necessitates. He's already planning the second annual Marvel-ous convention for next year, around Halloween, with a costume parade around City Hall. The excitement of pulp-hawking and fantasy-walking is here to stay. Off all the events during the four days, the one which seemed to gain the most attention was the arrival of artist Gil Kane. He is a silver-haired, tall man whose opinions never cease to flow, whose articulations on the art world and convention its perpetuators are succinct and to the point, no hemming 'n hawing from this dude. Q; What was the first complete comic book that you did? A: You mean book, or script? Q: Book! And then it began: "Well it took a long time. Actually, the whole idea of books didn't come into .. people didn't do complete books. They did complete features. Most features being either 6 or 8 or 10 or 12 pages in the beginning. And "it's only now, since about the mid-fifties that they moved into the complete book. But I did Western features like Hopalong Cassidy;, Johnny Thunder; and superheroes like Green Lantern and the Atom, who, incidentally, I made up. They had a character by that name who was five-foot-two, he was just a short fellow, and they called him the Atom. And that was about 20 years ago. when I thought about having the Atom as a really miniature figure, and there was a very successful strip about 20 years ago called the Dollmah, which has always been one of my favorites. And I gave them that. And to a great extent I helped them pull together the Green Lantern. The truth of the matter is this: The field itself is a field that develops people with intense skills with a kind of limitation. There is very little content in most of the material. There are very few artists that have a quality, a range, a scope in American comics. One of the reasons for this is that American comics are done under a factory system. They keep breaking up the pencilling, the inking, the writing; as a matter of fact, all of these things reflect the editor more than they do the individual artist. And as a result, volume becomes the most important thing for the artist in order for him to make a decent living at this stuff." Do you think that with the advent of the bigger, more complex black-and-white magazines the artist will have more freedom? "Yes, I agree. I think that by degrees it's already happening. Because you see manifestations of it. However, I do believe it's very hard for the artist not to be involved in. the writing and really develop a complex style. The only thing that happens primarily, when the artists aren't involved in the writing, is that they become technicians, better than technicians, they have a quality but it never becomes more than a bravura quality, a kind of external quality, it's like the color red, it's hard to resist, but really, not subtle enough, and it becomes monotonous after awhile because there's no range to what they can do."

Photoworld Dec., 1948. Photojournalism exhibit shows clear window of past realities by Bob Muffoletto Spectrum Arts Critic Our existence is a cubical house and our sensory perceptions are only windows to the world. The vehicles which determine our understanding of the human experience are strongly directed by a few individuals. Our insight to the ancient Greeks is through their art, literature, and physical remains. What Renaissance man was, is what he left us to see. By no means is that what he really was. What does exist are abstract realities and emotional myths about a romantic past. Our knowledge of the present is guided by peering through our cleanest window the news media. The oldest assimilator of the now is the mosaic pattern of the newspaper. Only in thy last 40 years, with the rapid development of the printing process and photo reproduction by use of the half-tone, have news photos had an influence on our daily lives. (Evidence of half tone reproduction goes back to Goya, who made prints by relief half-tones.) In 1880, a New York newspaper ran the first cross line half-tone in a dpily newspaper. — Subjectivity As a writer can only describe the event within his own photographer presents the event: out of syntax, so the context, ambiguous, and formalized. From The Picture Press is a current exhibition at the Albright-Knox Art Gallery, edited by John Szarkowski and circulated by the Museum of Modern Art, New York. The exhibition and accompanying book explores the news photograph in the context of “a chapter in the history of visual communications a phenomenon of importance in the development of the visual vocabulary of the past — half-century." It points to a difference between early documentation and its style, and that appearing after the second decade of the 1900’s. Szarkowski points out; "They were, or seemed, unimpeachably frank; they revised prior standards of privacy, and the privileges of anonymity; they dealt not with the intellectual significance of facts, but with their emotional content; they directed journalism toward a subjective and intensely human focus." Contained within the framework of the images are classifications of cultural roles: good guys, bad guys, winners (everybody likes to see a winner), losers, dissenters, and even (believe it or not) good news. ' , Shocking news Before they are news, the photographs are images. Szarkowski leads us to the water by stating in his book From the Picture Press, which accompanies the exhibit, "As images, the photographs are shockingly direct, and at the same time mysterious, elliptical and fragmentary, reproducing the texture and the flavor of experience without explaining its meaning." The exhibition should not be missed. Images-are taken from the media (which are objects that we are exposed to everyday). These then become our reference point to a reality that we may know little about. The photographs are contextually ambiguous, formalized and elliptical. Their ambiguity forces the observer to give meaning to the images. Only the visual information is supplied. The caption gives a definite meaning to the image. For your own experience, try looking at a news photo without reading the caption and see what happens. Was the woman a crying victim, captured wrongdoer, or suffering from hay fever? The formalized picture press is limited by its tools. The camera and lighting have a direct effect on what is displayed within the boundaries of the rectangle. Most news coverage is set up in advance. Great pains are taken to set the stage for the press. The limits of the speed graphic and flash were more formalized than those of the 35mm. and video camera of today. The idea of being elliptical pertains to a circle. The photograph of a beauty queen is always the same; only the face differs. What ever makes the news has made it before; just the images are different. Take 100 high school yearbooks; they're all the same, just the people are different. And in that ideation the images are transparent and the event itself is universal. If you are concerned with the visual dialogue, you are then confronted with the question of your understanding and relationship to the work. Your response, emotional or intellectual, is but a reflection of yourself.

Friday, 7 December 1973 The Spectrum Page thirteen . . �Claire Ball exhibits serial photography and Xerox images are ninety-one similarly produced, temporarily related frames along the walls or Gallery 219. Actually, there are six serial works push-pinned to Gallery 219 walls, where the person "Ken" appears on most of the frames (competing) with a Coca-Cola serial work, that has been stretched along the Gallery's East Wall. The reason behind this is photographer Claire Ball's interest in serial images which she produces by means of serial photography and the Xerox process, which are both reproduction processes. Rather than only solving the technical and aesthetic problems inherent in th6 single image in photography, she consistently works with the problem of time...Each of her frames (in one work there are 104 frames) relates to the one before it and the one following it. Her time concept in serial photography has been extended to the production of serial images utilizing the Xerox Process. There Xerox art The particular Xerox machine she uses, she said, projects the moving image (from 35mm or 16mm film), onto an electrically charged moving drum, that has been created with thermal plastic particles of the opposite charge. These particles are heated and fused onto paper (which is the opposite charge of the particles) that is moving over the drum. Other types of Xerox machines are able to infuse images on acetate and cloth and enlarge it up to at least sixty inches, Ms. Ball reported. Ms. Ball likes the early works of Andy Warhol as well as the movies Eat, and Kiss. Another artist whose works she enjoys is the filmaker Michael Snow. The movie Wavelength by Snow, takes the viewer through the space of the room to a photograph on the wall with a constant, slow zoom action. Her photographs also capture this zoom action. From the inside of a van she photographs a figure that is slow! these sequential images onto one long sheet of paper by the Xerox machine. Time and photography A work which Ms. Ball feels is particularly representativeof her experiments in serial photography is "Untitled No. 1". The photograph is composed from thirty-six frames which were cut into strips of six each and were made into a contact print. The subject matter is the relationship between time and picture taking. The entire picture was taken in three minutes with a five second interval between each shot. Each frame contains a darkroom timer and Ms. Ball taking a picture of the movement through time in a mirror. Also exhibied is a series of slides of "Ken" jumping and a movie of Ms. Ball standing and turning and taking a movie of Ken walking around her. The most important aspect of the movie is the structural similarity between the parts. Ms. Ball said: "There is an isomorphic relationship between the movement of the subject being filmed, the movement of the camera while filming, the physical structure of the film [that is, a film loop], and the movement of the film during projection." Claire Ball graduated from UB in 1972 and is now working towards a MAH degree concentrating on Media Studies. This is her first one-woman show. Previously, she has worked in the Whitney Independent Study Program.. The Gallery 219 exhibit points out a relationship between technology and art. It demonstrates that technology which is being used for the purpose of reproduction of images, mass communication and the processing of information of reproduction of images, mass communication and the processing of information can be originally applied to art forms.

One day, he well inevitably be faced with a personal trauma so devastating that it will blow apart his whole fortress of idealism (however, not before it has similarly an exploded unreasonable number of heads). automatically He then is transformed into a monster twice as self-righteous as any he will track down during the remainder - 'Charley Varrick' presents relevancy Two minutes into the movie the bloodshed begins. Two dead, two injured, and the mind boggled. Another in the long line shoot-em-up, of endless shoot-em-down flicks, you think. Do yourself a favor; stick around for the entire movie. Charley Varrick is a very good film. Charley Varrick is a small-time bank robber, content with the little robberies to sustain himself and his wife. This one day, Charley (Walter however, Matthau), while trying to mind his own business, comes up with a fat heist of over $750,000 from a small town bank that had no business having that kind of money. Charley is no‘'fool; he reasons that it's Mafia money and now he has to dodge the Mafia to save his own skin. whose facial expressions dramatize his style as well as his speech. In the film Matthau is clever, romantic, funny, sad, serious, and he does it all well. Joe Don Baker, who despite a very moving performance was not celebrated, for his role as Sheriff Buford Pusser in Walking Tall, plays the part of Molly, the Mafia hit man. With his cowboy hat and John Wayne frame, Molly tracks murdering Varrick, down Charley's partner on the way, with a smile forever planted on his face. Molly is your typical American hit man; big strong, dumb, and sadistic, abounding with joy everytime he breaks someone's neck or pokes his eyes out. He's a million laughs at cocktail parties. Easy Come No time for popcorn The movie progresses nicely. There are no lapses or "popcorn breaks" during the movie. It's a continual guessing game. Will they get Charlie? Oh, they’ve got him now! This is one of those s i t -o n -t h e -edge-of-your-seat-type films. The film is a bit unrealistic, but fantasizing is often beneficial. My last American hero was shot through the head some ten years ago in Dallas, Texas. Since then, the American Dream has gone from bad to joke to absurd. Tell it like it isl Relevancy for Mayor we want relevancy! In Charley Varrick, Don Siegel is from the telling it like it is mind. Relevancy in movies is very much needed. But to those puritans who will see this film and say, "it was a lousy film; so absurd and unbelievable," may I ask that you take your relevancy and give it to your dog for Christmas. I've got myself a hero! Do you? The film is now showing at the ... His wife, dead from an officer's gunshot, Charley is now left with (Andy only partner his Robinson). The partner, an eager and anxious punk, wants to spend the money right away but Charley, realizes this would only help the mob track them down. So, Charley cleverly leads them to Robinson, who in turn, is led to his grave. Producer-director Don Siegel deserves applause for this film. His usage of setting is quite unique. Instead of the typical night-life, kA.-Naw York scene, Siegel chooses open spaces and broad daylight to carry out this underworld chase. Taken from the novel. The Looters, by John Reese, Varrick is portrayed as a crooked but clever hero “the last of the independents," as the billboard will tell you. Siegel plays up our hero to the fullest. Just as ha Clint the made Eastwood sentimental favorite in Dirty Harry, so he does with Matthau in this movie. — character actor, — .... Holiday 2 Theatre. tribute to my daddy." Not to be beaten. Brand himself (a true pro) not only shot and killed his father, but also sells the mother of his child for one thousand dollars to the enterprizing Jacob, whose hard sense he respects far more than any woman's freedom. South of the border There is, of course, one catch, the aspect of the story which makes The Deadly Trackers different from all others of this genre. In his illegal travels through Mexico in search of killers who seem never to be more than one of the film Such a monster is Richard Harris as Sean Kilpatrick in The Deadly Trackers. His Irish accent and long hair immediately set him apart from the more commonplace Texans around him. so Kilpatrick's refusal to use a gun appears as simply one more in a string of anomalies. When Frank misanthropic Brand and his friends arrive to rob the Santa Rosa bank. Sheriff Kilpatrick situation with handles the admirable aplomb, managing not to lose his cool even when Brand appears in the window of the with Kilpatrick's schoolhouse young son under his arm. Kilpatrick as killer when the outlaw breaks his agreement to let go of the boy after he has been promised both his freedom and his money, Mrs. Kilpatrick and her son are murdered in the subsequent confusion, and the lawman cracks. The war is on; Kilpatrick must kill and/or be killed, and we are in for an hour and a half of unmitigated blood However, and gore. The assortment of grotesques who make up Brand's band represent a different tort of ideal: they are the ultimate bad guys, too evil, too obsessed, just too plain stupid to care who they step on. The imbecilic Schoolboy can't see past his stolen jewelry, and is thus Kilpatrick's first and easiest mark murdered while Ms partners bet on the fight's outcome. Jacob’s ambition is to own a whorehouse; Choo-Choo's right arm ends in a piece of iron taken from a railroad track, "a he is chasing and so the sheriff from Texas and the sheriff from Mexico end up tracking each other. They come on each new of information about piece Brand's whereabouts as much by chance as by any other means. screenplay Lukas Heller's (based on a novel by Samuel — although generally Fulls), intelligent, has perhaps more than its share of melodramatic absurdities. Choo-Choo, about to be pulled from a pool of quicksand Kilpatrick, by condemns himself to, a horrible death with the words, "Hey, sorry about your kid!" The final shootout on the grounds of the convent where Brand is found visiting his young daughter, a fact which allows his death to be postponed for a few more scenes, is embarrassingly sentimental; and when it does come, the nature of his demise is just a bit too ironic to be true. New-style hero away (he "don't care nothin' about states' rights," one of them comments), Kilpatrick runs up against the only force which, by the film's own logic, could possibly slow him down: a native lawman even more highly principled than himself. This "pride of the Federales" acts as a sort of unappreciated guardian angel to the stubborn Irishman, continually rescuing him from dangerous situations and getting him safety out of the way with the same god-like patience that Kilpatrick lost fifteen minutes into the movie. He, too, wents Brand for murder, but contends the outlaw must be tried before he can be executed. For all hit sympathy and understanding, he tees the Texas lawman at nearly as great a threat to law and order as Brand is himself. town — This way of thinking becomes a circular one Kilpatrick must gat this new rival away from him or he will be arrested long before the criminals necessarily - Richard Harris was, at the very least, certainly a novel choice for the part of the sheriff of Santa Rosa. He and director Barry Shear conceived the character as an man, extremely sensitive confounded by moral crises right His and left. excessive sentimentality, though in keeping with the rest of the film, is a far cry from our cherished picture of the tough and fearless Westerner. However, a character who has become more legend than fact can all sorts of undergo transformation without losing his essential credibility, and Harris's portrayal of a man gradually stripped of all sense of meaning gains effectiveness as the movie progresses. As Frank Brand. Rod Taylor is beautifully boisterous, swaggering, phony. menacing and This coward, falling just safely this side of caricature, is the tort of villain we all love to hate. Pedro Armandariz, Jr. is alto quite good at the unwaveringly just Mexican, although his inftexiiility becomes a bit ridiculous by the end of this film. Intelligent westerns featuring such fine actors are almost as rare as pacifists sheriffs. Despite all its flaws and it has quite a few The Deedty Tracker* is still a worthwhile film.

A lens is objective in its act of viewing and draws out all details meticulously. Worlds can be reduced to machine movement where the slight turn o.' a gear producing the sudden fury of hurricane motions are all seen, all heard, all felt by the staring camera. Silently, emotions are swallowed up by a living tongue of film, digested and then stored. The system cannot be stopped once it is begun; even when the film runs out, the camera stares, merely unable to store what it sees. Though often it sees only the darkness beneath a Ians cover, space and time are never lost to its view. Broken, ground to a fine powder and scattered, the individual molecules represent the ever watchful eye of time. Cameras are directed the objects they view are decided for them. They see all aspects of the things they are shown, they always see time and space. The hand of Langdon Jones does little directing and instead allows the cosmos to pass before the camera with its own ponderous trudging steps. Jones' virtue is that he does not direct, he allows the camera to view the time and space between events as well as the actual occurences. The universe is vast and to view its entirety necessitates this inclusion of apparent emptiness. In order to view a time one needs to have a new time from which to stand. This, in respect to the first time, makes the viewer atemporal; a starchild in all the infinite extensions of 2001. The next higher species of man may well be humans embellished with this sort of insight for it combines the idea of All-Self with Non-Self and does not create Nothingness. Langdon Jones was, certainly, a next-higher species of writer. — (Imfwi " Are you an insomniac? Do you need somethin) to tide you over from The Tonijtt Shorn to The Today Shorn? Well.

Since Jones is not a prolific writer this book contains stories from 1965 to 1969, many of which appeared in the magazine New Worlds except in countries where it was banned. The years 1965 to 1969 just happen to be in the past. The five stories found in this book were written then by an author who was a very strong competitor, struggling on the highest rung of the evolutionary scale. Unfortunately, several masked marvels swooped down and Jones was essentially forgotten. It was only months later, after everyone rushed out and paid exhorfoitant prices for the marvels' books that their masks fell off and the top rung was vacant. So Jones' stories have been republished and, while they do not represent all of his work, they are a fine example. They are on time; however late, they discuss time with crystalline beauty, yet the book is really not a discussion. It merely presents images, the reader does all the talking while the author watches. To recount any of the stories would defeat t$»e very basis of the book because that would necessitate subjectivity and a selection of the details to be mentioned. Let it suffice to say the stories all concern in time as a system of measure, as an occasion or repeated the sense of a sentence like "this has happened many times", as being ahead or behind it, as something to be gained or lost, to be shared as one shares computer time The lens views machines and people on an equal level without giving them humanoid characteristics. From this, the reader is forced to create things, ideas, opinions and emotions. Soon, he finds this form of creation amazingly easy. Page upon page of meticulous scenes of mechanized movement are not as boring as expected. Indeed, they literally become, marvels of creation. Jones does not "write." He sees. Machines know no time and this is where Jones ties it to humans, concentrating on the human orgasm as a brief period of "timetessoess". This is also why he was banned. Most people are criticized for their inability to see connections, Jones was criticized for the opposite. Utilizing literary film technique is not the high point of his style. Jones also includes drawings that overlap or coincide with the sentences between which they lie. He shows the reader a story concerned with a composer, throws in some of the music and then proceeds to write a poem to it, for it, and in time with it. While all of the stories are over a few years old. the book bilb Jones as one of the "New Wave" science fiction writers. This b not a misnomer, at least not in the sense of time. The term “New Wave" refers to experimental science fiction or anything that doesn't fit the categories of the dissected science fiction; fantasy, hard SF. soft SF. etc. Anything that was ever banned and may be looked down upon by the science fiction literary audience seems to fall into thb "new”’ classification, although it has nothing to do with being new. Bruce Franklin, on campus November fifth, lecturing on "Politics and Science Fiction", said New Wave authors do not know what they are writing about. However, Jones and others wrote science fiction, something which often discusses the unknowable and which the most famous science fiction writers have been unable to satisfactorily define. • — ,.. _ 'Jesus Christ HlWto jtmfmt Mm W rot* of Barpar m Mm Droadwy Thistsr and Arts Woriohos at «M Downtown YWCA. 190 Franklin Straat tfw lAartad Artut* Mm The Hospital «n#i Gaorg* through hr Rican intar pratations of tha Ufa of Jw Christ am uniqua ihractiag stylo ano (art dirptayad in The Mm Jews Christ Superstar «■> fint latiedueae of limit.

In addition, Steve Adler hopes to direct a production of Samuel Beckett's Waiting for Godot in Harriman sometime in late January. The play will be co-sponsored by the Student Theater Guild, which is tentatively set to co-sponsor two other presentations with the Theater Department next term. While most of us are at the point of wishing the vacation would start, the Theater Department is presenting two cast productions for the almost expired fall semester. The first, a play by John Webster called The White Devi/, will be staged by the Center For Theatre Research and directed by Gordon Rogoff. It will be at The Courtyard Theater December 5-8 and 11-15. The play is a Jacobean tragedy written in the early 17th century. James Waring will be choreographing two new ballets for the second production, Nightpiece, with music by Frederic Chopin, and Eternity Bounce, which features ragtime music by various composers. It will be in Harriman Library Studio Theater, December 6-9 and 13-16. The White DeviI is a major effort by the Theater Department to professionalize, explained Steve Adler, production coordinator for the Center for Theater Research and the Department. The play will feature three faculty members Saul Elkin, Beverly as well as five Wideman, and Morton Lichter University graduates who are currently working as fellows of the Center for Theater Research. On the move "In two years, the Theater Department has come a long way," Mr. Adler said. 'The faculty has doubled, and the theater production schedule has tripled. The Center for Theater Research offers more opportunity for the people in the Department as well as bringing in good outside people." Mr. Adler thinks the Theater Department is in the process of taking on a more professional direction, although academics will still be stressed. "Graduates of the Department will be getting a BA., which will be the equivalent of a B.FA. as far as training and theater experience," he said.

I mean, Leroy, and I don't mean Leroy Blades who I met two, three, four, maybe five years ago at the Welfare Center, wotta name, but another Leroy more local, and what I got from him is to ball to Trane, so that's situation music too. But think again there's no talking gonna be going on, and you NEVER talk when Trane Is on. In a way. I’m reminded of Funk, INC., but the Crusaders don't have a southern fried sound at all. Still, it must be such a trip to play in that band, like a soul band with sax, ielectric piano, trombone for horn — everything? On other cuts, Trane survives and sounds good n' thick like he used to, even though this was before then, but he also gives the blues too. And Miles playing out of a tin can, the dumb mute, but that's just gettin by Diz, so this album has all these nostalgic numbers, from albums long since gone and an unreleased track for hard-core Davis addicts, "Little Melonae," ranges > ... . . pass the J . . .) But wait this is not pretzel pan. This is the wisdom of Charles Octet and radiophone. There are no false believers. There are no Ripley's in modern France.

But this is not inverspace. This is jan ackerman: Profile In Courage. — So pass the salami-saucers and — big slow. The music just got soft. The song is ending and it's NICE. Not the best in the world but not the worst and not to be ashamed of, either. The Crusaders are together and if you want to put them to their best practical use, play them at a party or eight-track them and drive all night. As for me, if I ever make it back to Gypsy days on Westchester Avenue and Southern Boulevard, they're gonna keep me company and keep me sane. And dig the last song is really mellowed out and forced this mood on me without my even realizing it. These Crusaders are definitely worth checking out some night. And now approaching center stage is Miles Davis. Turn up the spotlight please and step up to the microphone. Mites Davis left the stage Before the solo was over. . . Where'd he go? Who's that, Trane? JWow, I he's so skinny and young, what in? 1955! Holy cow! Bird was still the king and Miles sounds so little and hung up, so cool but he really didn't want to be, he wanted to be a bopper, like Mick dagger always wanted to be a Beatle, but he couldn't cut it. Bird just felt sorry for him, so he tried to act cool to protect his ego-sized peanut and wore shades and didn't look at anybody in the eyes like he's so cool he don't even have to look to know they're there. But he was too sensitive and too afraid to play with human emotion, so he went and started a different attitude, the birth of the coo/ stemming from peer rejection, and tried to hide the fact that he was human and had feelings, but he couldn't. And so everyone was overawed at his emotional power through his attempts to hide exactly that, so he got rich and famous and bought a fancy car. Then he went out and bought Coltrane and later he went and bought Cannonball and Bill Evans and Red and Paul Chambers and Philly Joe and later even Wayne Shorter and Herbie and Tony Williams and Ron Carter, but it was cool because Miles was hip after all. What can you say about Miles Davis that hasn't been said already? Handsome? Yes, very. Excellent shape for a forty-year-old. .. eat the right? But no, this is not cold turkey. This is not the Beatles, this is, is it not, the kaleidoscopic ideal of Everyman, to be tripple-ttrrracked in a studio scene, the late great soap opera wizardry, paltry of technical exhibitionistic-ism, and likewise an onomotopia of backward oceanography.

So struggle on and on, and halfway into his solo, with short bursts which don't sound exactly right, he gets a little groove, then FLU Bill he missed and then, barely audible, comes a little tiny groan 'OOOOOOHHHHHHH' and it's Trane because he missed and he's frustrated, and I swear it's there. It took about ten listenings to catch it, but it's there and in all the discographia of the Masters there has never been anything like it, not even on all the out-takes of Miles with Bird when Poor Miles couldn't keep up and kept making mistakes so they would have to do five takes to get it right.

What's next? , To be continued Friday, 7 December 1973 The Spectrum . Page twenty-one . �Mi Vg* song called I am the Sea," which is the'sound of the sea crashing against the shore as the four main themes are introduced. As the waves die down Roger Faltrey sings under them: Can you see the real me, can you? Can you? This explodes into 'The Real Me," a real rocker which is as authoritative as any hard-rock song of the last decade. Lyrically, Jimmy is recalling his lack .of success with psychiatrists, preachers and his parents in his attempt to communicate to them his real self. This segs into the title track, "Quadrophenia" which is the overture of the album. Beginning with "Bell Boy," the theme centered around drummer Keith Moon, the group progresses through piano progressions with Townshend occasionally flicking out some tasty licks. Then, almost majestically, a resounding note on the mellotron with Townshend plucking out the "Is it Me?" theme. This theme, giving the listener the first taste of elegance contained on the album, centers around bassist John Entwistle and represent the romantic aspects of Quadrophenia Pater Townthend (Track Music) " After four long years, Peter Townshend has finally found a focus for his creative genius; the result being the musical triumph called Quadrophenia. This new double-album by the Who transcends the group's earlier works, overshoadowing even Tommy as an overall expression of art. Whereas Tommy, the deaf, dumb and blind pinball wizard, was basically unidentifiable to the general listener, Quadrophenia is based around the characteristics of an English teen, named Jimmy, during the Mod/Rocker days of the mid-sixties. Remember the Mods and Rockers? The Mods were the ones who hung round the soda shops, dressed casual but sharp, and packed ballrooms to dance the night away. The Rockers were the coffee-house types, leather clad with dark turtle-neck sweaters,- usually feared by the Mods was too much. He steals a boat and heads out towards a great rock, getting off on the thunder in the distance and the drone of Jimmy. Homs follow, going into the "Helpless Dancer" theme, a steady, driving melody characterizing the tough guy aspect of Jimmy's character, this being reflected by Roger Daltrey. A slow piano into and then the mellotron breaks into a dynamic violin oscillation, backing the "Love, Teign O'er Me" theme which is Peter Townshend's. The song ends with the sound of the sea and it is amazing how far you have gone in such a short amount of time. I mean, it's only the middle of side one. Townshend comes out on vocals for "Cut My Hair," assisted by Daltrey on the choruses. Here Jimmy is rationalizing his actions as a Mod: Why should care If I got to cut my hair? I've got to move with the fashion Or be outcast. Move with the fashion he does, but he begins to doubt his •'^5^E888BS2a5i8^EBS8Bpi*3 ?’ (unless overwhelmingly outnumbered). Jimmy is a Mod living in that era and Quadrophenia attempts to weave his character around four main themes, each theme representing a part of Jimmy's character, each character part reflected by a member of the Who. Through the use of photographic essays and an autobiographical narrative on the inside cover, we glance into Jimmy's life. He is at the point where everything is depressing him faster than his supply of leapers can avert. His parents had let him down, rock had let him down, women had let him down, work wasn't worth the effort, and school, he felt, wasn't even worth mentioning. And now, even being a Mod was getting to him. The struggle Side three opens with "5:15" the song with the most Who-ist arrangement. Belted out vocal harmonies by Townshend and Entwistle compliment Daltrey's lead. In this song, Jimmy question his concern over his own generation. / other actions Zoot suit, white jacket with side vents Five inches long I'm out on the street again And I’m leaping along. I'm dressed right for a beachfight But I just can't explain Why that uncertain feeling is still Here in my brain. The song closes with a radio broadcast concerning a mob of Mods chasing two Rockers, 'The Punk Meets the Godfather" is another hard rocker. It's supposedly a mini-opera in itself. Townshend realizes that much of the material on this album is suitable for a live concert, so he accentuates his driving guitar chords and makes the song more exciting by overdubbing enthusiastic applause to simulate the live concert the engine (aided, a bit, by the Gilbey's gin he has been drinking on top of the leapers). When he stops the engine and climbs onto the rock, the heavenly music ceases and he experiences a great come-down. The boat has drifted away, it's raining very hard and he realizes why he has come to the rock. His life is flashing before his eyes. Only it isn't flashing, it’s crawling. Slowly. This, then, is the essence of Quadrophenia. To capture musically and lyrically these last minutes of Jimmy's life. Appropriately enough, Quadrophenia starts with a Side tWo continues the song cycle with Townshend vocalizing "I'm One," a song that uses lyrical ambiguity against the theme of the whole.album. Can a schizophrenic no, not simply schizophrenic, but a quadrophrenic state so boldy that not only is he one but he is the one. Roger's theme, "Helpless Dancer" vocalizes Jimmy's drifting away from the mod scene and the dance halls as his observations of his society cause him tagrow more and - more irate. "I've Had Enough" reiterates and reinforces Jimmy's break from his lifestyle'; cUS 2 COUNTRy ’em.* 1FRESH EGGS, as you like 3 3 75 * t fc (tooth epon 24 hr*, dally mT 3300 SHERIDAN DRIVE *Vr 3637 UNION ROAD Page twenty-two The Spectrum . Friday, 7 December 1973 , "Sea and Sand" recalls the time he slept on the beach with the girl he loved, only to see her later arm-in-arm with a friend of his. Keith's theme, "Bell Boy" featuring Keith Moon himself on vocals, concerns and lunatic bell boy Jimmy 'used to follow back in '63" in "those crazy days." "Dr. Jimmy" opens the final side. For eight-and-a-half minutes we see the interchange of the "tough guy" and the romantic, each struggling to break loose. This brings everything back to the present upon "The Rock" where the four themes are again heard for a brief climactic moment. The quiet sound of the sea follows, opening the finale "Love, Reign O'er Me" (Pete's Theme). This is Jimmy's finale and Daltrey sings his heart out. The simple lyrics are backed with the now-recognizable, mellotronically-produced violin segment. The song progresses to a crashing ending with Daltrey screaming: and then silence. That's how the album ends, and if that isn't enough, as you read along with the lyrics, opposite the words on the last page is a photo of the rock out in the water with Jimmy standing just at the shoreline. A natural turn of the page as the album ends and we see the same scene sans Jimmy. Just the rock. Quadrophenicaa is the culmination of ideas that Pete Townshend created. "O'reilly, My generation," and "We Won't Get Fooled Again" could easily have fit into the mood of Quadrophenia. But the quality of the songs on this long-awaited album has left me with the notion that this could definitely be considered a real classic. It is certainly one of the most enjoyable albums to come out in a long while. The Who have made up for their 26-month silence (discounting solo efforts); this new album is a true tribute to rock music. — atmosphere. *1 i r ■<rl • I've had enough of dancehalls I've had enough of pills I’ve had enough of streetfights I've teen my share of kills I'm finished with the fashions And acting like I'm tough I'm tiSred with hateand passion I've had enough of .trying to love ' — Jerry Duci �Memphis Group The Mg's (Stax) Booker T. and the Mg's might've been the best house band ever conceived for any rock emporium. They specialized in an infectious brand of tight, highly structured funky-musak. Their instrumental renditions of things like "Abbey Road" and "Hello Mrs. Robinson," combined with their original sounds "Hip-Hugger,""Green Onions," etc. made them one of the slickest pieces of organized musical talent ever presented at least for awhile, that is. Eventually everyone else caught up with 'em, but none of them had that special magic that Booker T. and the boys had.

A good lip sheer mit salt 'n vinegar an de hole wurks, but it just lays there like a limp wrist waiting to get caressed by sum noticing passerby. Sladest is a compendium of Slade singles which never made the do here in Amerika. The whole shebang-do-wah gets underway unsequentially, of course with a "live" studio version of "Get Down and Get With It," a song which has been known on occasion to have immobile objects like bolted-down seats, necks, and wabbly three- to twelve-inch stacks, lobbied like so many ancient towers fo Babylon. Sweaty, blurring visions of sexual arousal an' simple rock fuck. An interesting thing to take note of is the fact that this song is the only one that is given the correct spelling. (Spelling being important because it is so fastidiously hammered into American teenhood.) Maybe that's why they can't make it in the States, we're all too spelling-conscious. Like wasn't it everyone's high school dream, besides losing your sexual innocence, to win the spelling bee in front of the whole school literary orgasm. So why not a national teacher's conspiracy to stop all this misspelling malarky by a bunch'a mutant limy boys? Why not? It could be the answer everyone is searching out. And it's produced by ex-Animal Chas Chandler he the dude what discovered Jimi Hendrix for all you history festishoids out there in the print void. First of all, he discovered these boys with their skin heads and tight blue jeans wailing away in a local pub, olaying that infectious, driving bar noize so commonly needed when you're on a Lost Weekender. He recorded them on an Ip called Play It Loud and you should, especially when they do "Shapes of Things to Come," which was first punched out in the bbb-bad/good movie Wild in the Streets 'member it was done right after everyone got wiped out in front of the White House, Max comes on the screen looking like a cross-bred test tube.terror combination of Marlon Brando and Johnny Ray cute pony tail too, great song, by both \ - - — - — — now he's busy producing people like Al Green nice work if you can get it; and last, but never least, was good old Booker Green Onions hisself Tee on the organ.

Yeech, these boys should've gone far. So that was de hip-huggers themselves. Alas, or all-ass, the Mg's split asunder like most good groups that never go anywhere. But, hold on, what's this, yup, another Mg's Ip, this time minus the Crooper, Booker T. talents of old. My hopes were initially high, like the rest of my well-worn psyche, when this record was first thrown at me in my crystal-isolation cage. Then I made one important mistake. I played it. They haven't been able to calm me down sinze. I've attacked myself twice, and eaten at least half the record sheer rage, then I realized in a flash of yawn-out that I should just fall asleep again like usual. No way is this record really any good. Like it says on the back cover, "Left Over" (Bucafamanga) whatever that means. Lean pickings from a once-great influence. Floatsom in the maelstrom of messy-messy. A shell vision conch-out. Rating: who cares? - — groups So for awhile Dave, Noddy, Jim and company shrugged their muscular shoulders and went back into the pit of pubs. Then they went and did "Stayed" with a continued reference being made to the cinema of America HHllC dWwwlments are "Cum on FeeFthe Noize" the tender truth' about how your ears really feel when you play muse-ikk in a rock 'n roll band. The battle cry for the deaf hoipoloi out there in the audience where the entire concept of music transcends traditional conceptions and takes on a new, more sinister meaning. The age of sonic dehydration is here to stay. Then another venture into self-imposed illiteracy called "Skweeze Me Pleeze Me" I'm beginning to think all limies are funny spellers. This again is a musical dip into septic tank visions of mechanical car fuck. What do you get when you cross a 1957 Chevy being, being, do-wah-ohhh come on with a 1973 Mazda skweeze me tailpipe and I'M grease your axle. Ho-hum. "Mama Weer All Crazee Now" depicts the ontologies onerousness prevalent in this continuing melange of cross-cut images we call life what's life? It's a fucking game that you can buy for about ten bucks, but it ain't as good as Monopoly or Stanley Cup Hockey, so go screw a West Indian Mind Rat, ya turd. "My Friend Stan" has a lot of local appeal 'cause it should've been used as the campaign song for Stan "de man" Makowski, it would've been nice to hear some acknowledgement of our music from the upper echelons of local government. I'm sure Stan teh Man has heard of the Carpenters, so why not Dave Hill from Slade, they're all androids anywhohow. I don't know, I guess the only thing that'll make it possible for Slade to make it in the States is if they repeal the 1 **w which made it legal to suck booze again. With that kiriv of nationwide dryness, maybe a little rock 'n roll cum juice might make a little sense huh. - — — — — - — Joe Fernbacher Mystery to Me Fleetwood Mac (Warner Bros.) This is unmistakably one of the nicest records I'Ve heard in a long, long while. No, that sounds too mundane untrue to form, as it were. Let's see let's try it again: Unquestionably, this record is the solidity in a monstrous, even occasionally depressing, sea of rock n' diarrhea the quintessential differentiation aftermath of congenital constipation as opposed to pre-birthday apathy huh Screamin' Jay Hawkins, besides being the genius who wrote "You Put a -Spell on Me," was also the penman on a song dedicated to the rigors and disillusionment of constipation called "Constipation Blues," and it was about the first time in his life that he couldn't pooh-pooh when he wanted to, it upset him so much he wrote a song about it, it was banned in the States for a long time, but you could probably pick up on it at your local drug store anytime. It's a great toon which predates all that Robert Downey sittin'-on-the-shitter imagery seen in his infamous cineoid climax called "Cahffed Cheeks," or was that "Chaffed Knees," or was it "The Heartbreak of Psoriasis in the Lower Physiogymy Of the West Indian Dwarf Flea" What's more, Christine McVie is one of the best femrockers in the business, bar none, not even Wayne County can hold a snatch to her, and the reason for her success is the fact that she is able to transcend the over abundant sense of manhood most femrockers are forced to adopt in order to make it in the male-conceived rock n' roll structure. Christine maintains an overriding sense of delicate femininity, despite the constant pressures of being in an all-male group (all-male, that is, besides herself). She's the best rawkin' bitch goin' and I'd well, I would if I could but I can't so's I’d might as well rant and pant about, after all it would be unfair if I were to deny my own sexual imbalance, now wouldn't it? Fleetwood Mac has always been one of the most consistently enigmatic groups around. Throughout their history they've been solid hard-core musicians in the way that only the British can raise hard-core musicians.

Hedy West was bom and raised in Georgia, her family being mill workers, and before that small-time farmers. Hedy's father, Don West, is a well-known poet, author, and commentator on the Appalachian people. Hedy learned songs that her ancestors brought from the British Isles to the Southern Mountains, as well as some of the union organizing songs her father was living and experiencing first-hand. Although Hedy attended Columbia University, and has lived in England for a time, she's been traveling to many places with her music. She has retained the authentic sounds and songs of the rural folk that she knew as a young woman. During the 1960's, she was an active part of the so-called folk revival scene, with two albums on Vanguard. Since then she has published a book of her song material. The Hedy West Songbook, and recorded for some small record labels devoted to traditional types of music. Ms. West brings to Buffalo a unique type of music, without the "Hee Haw" hillbilly redneck entrapments. Hedy renders the old songs in performances and brings them to modern urban audience. Her songs include the well known "Old Joe Clark," "Gambling Man," and songs from her father like "Shut Up In the Mines at Coal Creek." Enhancing the evening's entertainment will be two local talents, Eric Levine and Al Shank. There will be one performance at 9 p.m. Tickets are on sale at the Norton ticket office. — GROWN WITH CAR!

If the thing has a narrow and restricting quality, it's because they feel to that extent, and at this time that's what they need in order to keep trouble off their backs.

But, I think that's at an end now, because the truth of the matter is, that Corben is really moving into horror, they're all moving - people like S. day Wilson and Spain Rodreguez? "I know their work well, I think S. Clay Wilson was absolutely essential to the underground press. Because, you see, there are titans and there are Olympians. Guys who go into the underground press first had to be a living sacrifice. And what they did generally their whole idea,' was to they had nothing else because outrage, with which to call attention to themselves. And they succeeded. Not only did they succeed, but they cleared ground that was not cleared before doing this kind of material. Once that ground was cleared, though, it became possible for Corben and for other people, who are light years above Wilson in what they do and what they think, and they've given great validity to the — into horror, from these scatalogical things they used to do, they still keep some kind of erotic material, but by and large these things are science-fiction and horror material, as a matter of fact Corben himself is going between Warren ACTION IINE f Have a problem?

Q: I live off campus in an apartment. Where can I obtain personal property insurance? A: Applications for personal property coverage are available in the Off-Campus Housing Office on the first floor in Goodyear Hall. This insurance is written through a national organization. However, many insurance companies offer tenant insurance policies. We suggest that you investigate alternative policies. When deciding upon an insurance policy, be sure to understand the amount of coverage available, the items and risks which are not covered in the policy, under your coverage how much is deductible, and whether local agent is available. or not a Q: What happens when you receive an incomplete in a course? You have two years to remove the incomplete. After two years, the incomplete will remain on the record. Instructors may set their own time restrictions as long as the time limit is not longer than two years. Be sure to talk with your instructor about an incomplete if you plan on completing it. A; Q: I am scheduled for three exams on one day. Is there any way to change one of the exams to another day? A: The Division of Undergraduate Studies agrees that it is not desirable for a student to take more than two exams on any given day and encourages faculty to be flexible in resolving such conflicts. Therefore, first check with the professors in the courses involved to see if one of the exams can be rescheduled. If the problem cannot be resolved after discussi the matter with your professors, contact the Chairman of the departments or the directors of undergraduate studies within the departments and explain your problem. As a last resort, if the matter has not been resolved, contact Dr. Ebert, the Dean of the Division of Undergraduate Studies. Q: Where are the gay bars in Buffalo? A: We don’t have a list but you can get this information from the Mattachine Society by calling 881-5335. You can also check with someone in Gay Liberation Front which usually meets on Monday X —continued from page 12—, . . and the underground books. So, I think the underground press is losing its difference. The only thing that made it viable was its difference, and now with the obscenity laws and everything else, there is really nothing to separate them from the straight stuff." Do you think it is still a viable place for young artists to go? "Yes. I think it's sensational. As a matter of fact, I think we're in a transitional phase. What you're really seeing is the end of mass marketing. It was possible at one time for 30 publishers of comic books to mindlessly turn out anything they wanted to, and have it sell. It was never questioned. They used to sell 70 to 90% of what they put out. They used to have a monthly sale of 360 million magazines. Now, they have an annual sale of that number. They're selling one twelfth of what they used to sell. But now that the comic book form has been accepted, for instance. Marvel has magazines that sell and don't sell. The same people work on them but obviously the readers are more selective in what they buy. He won't support the entire line. As long as they wouldn't support the entire line and they're becoming selective, it means that individual magazines have more value than a line." "National is doing real badly, they've been hurting now for years, and haven't made any profits because most of their magazines don't sell. There is a very strong possibility, that an outfit like National may have to do something drastic in order to regain its position. Either they will sell off their characters or drop out. I think it's really the end for mass marketing of comics, one: because newsstands are closing all over the country, and two: there's no way a 20-cent comic book can make a profit unless you sell 3/4 of your print order, and that's not happening, so they're jumping the price to 50 cents and a dollar. I don't think people are going to pay a dollar for what they've bought for 20 cents. At any rate, they are at a point of crisis now, and its possible for new people to come in with real value and, I think, make inroads into the field." An end to the factory system in the comic industry and the steady influx of new talent will be the future for the comic book, at least that's what Kane believes, and why not believe what he says; after all, that is his biz.

The meet was somewhat closer than the 31-9 final score would indicate, as five of the ten matches were decided by three points or less. The victory ran the Bulls record to 5-0. Coach Ed Michael was gratified with his team’s performance, under the circumstances. The Bulls arrived at Colgate’s Huntington Gymnasium at 7:15 for the 7:30 match. They were told to be dressed and warmed up in twenty minutes so that the match would not start more than a few minutes late It appeared that the close timing would not affect the Bull’s performance very much, as Ron Langdon destroyed John Graziadei 17-6 in the 118 puond match. However, Langdon’s performance was a bit sloppy. Young, Jacoutot hold leads After that, the Bulls won on a shoestring for a while. Jim Young, at 134, held on to an early lead through an eventful third period in which 12 points were traded. Neither Bill Jacoutot nor Youjg were able to dominate therr matches as they have in the previous meets. “It’s the sign of a good wrestler when you can be bad and still win,” said Young, bestowing a backward How you express yourself depends upon your camera compliment on himself and his buddy. Ultimately, three pins ided the meet for Buffalo. Freshman Bruce Hadsell recorded his fourth pin and fifth victory at 142 to lead the team in both categories. Hadsell had the strength to ride Colgate’s Jim Webb with a cradle for over a minute until he could pin him. Ed Hamilton (190) had another fall victory for Buffalo, his third in as many matches. The Scrambler’s opponent, Fran Delaurentis, was in trouble as soon as Hamilton got the opening takedown, something Ed rarely does. “I don’t know what I’m doing,” said Hamilton. “I got a takedown in my third match this year. Last year it took six matches.” With Ed’s unorthodox style, getting takedowns is of very little importance. Bulls to face Army Tonight and tomorrow at West Point, the Bulls will get their best test of the young season, facing four tough teams-Army Princeton, Montclair State (New Jersey) and Gettysburg. The team’s flawless record, as well as the undefeated streaks of Young, Jacoutot, Hadsell, Hamilton and 190 pounder Charlie Wright will be seriously challenged. 4*xHear 0 Israel*^.

Sports Editor lost their third game by hip Miller Spectrum ... The hockey Bulls wind up the home portion of their first semester schedule by hosting powerful Ohio State tonight and tomorrow night at Twin Rinks. The Buckeyes, beaten by Bowling Green for the Central Collegiate Hockey Association’s championship last season, have left the CCHA this year and are independent. Ohio State, which could skate as fast as the wind last season, has been held to just 3.56 goals per game by nine opponents. A combination of injuries, losses due to graduation, ineligibility and a severe schedule have hurt the Bucks. Buckeye skipper Gerry Walford agreed that Ohio State had lost some of its fearsome scoring power. “We’ve tightened up defensively this season,” said Walford. “Whether our scoring punch is there, we don’t know. We’re not panicking, though. The goals will start to come eventually,” forecast Walford. game’s high scorer with 27 points, shooting 12-of-19 from Staff Writer Klym a record-breaker Poor shooting continued to Buffalo right wing Mike Klym, who leads the plague the junior varsity Bulls with 19 points (8-11), broke the school basketball Bulls, as they dropped career record for goals last weekend.

The Bull mentor also indicated that Buffalo “We weren’t playing good would alter its lineup somewhat for tonight’s defense, so I wanted to slow contest to compensate for the right wing Mike them down.” Buffalo again had Dixon’s and defenseman Mike Perry’s absences due trouble penetrating, as their poor to their banishment from the Bulls’ last contest. shooting indicated.

He also pulled down 14 rebounds and blocked seven shots. Hill commented; “Their big man (Miller) really killed us. We were hurting inside.” The Bengals tough man-to-man defense held Buffalo’s John Ruffino, their leading scorer in the previous two games, to just 10 points. John Dougherty of the Bengals was primarily responsible for this, and he was aided by a poor shooting performance (5-for-17) by Ruffino. Hill remarked later, “1 didn’t want him to shoot that much.” Guard Gene Henderson led the way for the Bulls with 16 points. Noworyta later commented, “We played good defense tonight. We were trying out man-to-man.” Hill continues to search for a winning combination for the Baby Bulls, who now stand at 0-3. The starting lineup has been different in all three games.

No. 40 Student Judiciary to handle all non-academic violations cases by Larry Kraftowitz Campus Editor A unified Student-Wide Judiciary, intended as a major step toward due process and the advancement of student rights, was approved for one year last week by President Robert Ketter. Beginning next semester, the student court, the first ever to encompass graduate, undergraduate and night students, will hear cases involving violations of non-academic conduct regulations and will have the power to impose punishments and various “losses of privilege consistent with the offense committed.” Unlike its predecessor, a skeleton student judiciary consisting of five undergraduate representatives, the Student-Wide Judiciary will be composed of 18 judges representing the undergraduate, Graduate and Millard Fillmore College Student Associations. Each case will first be heard by a panel of three judges, two of them from the defendant’s constituency. Defendants will be able to appeal decisions to another three-judge panel, again with two judges from the defendant's constituency and the third judge from the constituency excluded at the first level. Finally, the defendant may appeal to a “Supreme Court” consisting of the chief judge and a justice from each of the other two constituencies. Complete system “The Student-Wide Judiciary is a complete judicial system including all three student governments and providing peer review at the appeal level,” explained Ron Stein, associate director of Student Affairs and a major impetus behind the formation of the new student court. The concept of a Student-Wide Judiciary had its roots in 1969, when Dr. Stein perceived the need for an “umbrella” judiciary system to deal with conflicts among student governments, as well as those between them. After four years of deliberation with numerous student leaders, Dr. Stein submitted a final proposal to Preindent Ketter last May. After extensive scrutiny by John Leach, attorney for Dr. Ketter and Walter Rolihan, the State University of New York (SUNY) Vice Chancellor for Legal Affairs, a revised resolution was sent back to Dr. Stein The student governments had originally sought the right to subpoena any member of the University community, including faculty, staff and students, and the right to fine anyone who refused to comply with the subpoena, according to SA Student Rights Coordinator Cliff Palefsky. However, a clause was later discovered in the University’s contract with the Senate Professional Association which restricted students from hearing misconduct charges against faculty members. Charter amended The Judiciary charter was thus amended so only students would be compelled to pay fines if they refused to comply with a subpoena. The fines would be tacked onto a student’s account in the Bursar’s office so those failing to pay would be unable to register the following semester. Although no such fines exist for faculty members, the Judiciary can enforce faculty subpoenas by appealing to Dr. Ketter. Another area of dispute concerned Dr. Stein’s and the student governments’ insistence that a defendant must be found guilty “beyond a reasonable doubt.” Although Mr. Leach strongly recommended that this wording be changed to read “substantial evidence,” the terminology was left unchanged at Dr. Stein’s urging. This would give students te benefit of the doubt, since they were the ones most often on trial, Mr. Palefsky indicated. Momentary delay For the moment, the Judiciary does not have the authority to impose disciplinary fines because that issue is still being discussed in Albany. However, Dr. Stein soon expects to be receiving final authorization from Harry Spindler, SUNY vice chancellor for Business and Finance. Once this measure is approved, students would be eligible for fines of up to $50 for not obeying a subpoena and a maximum charge of $200, dependsng upon the offense. However, tlre"JHBIteihry may impose an unlimited fine in “restitution” cases, or those where there has been a destruction of property. Nine of the 18 justices have been elected to for one year and the remainder for two-year terms.

Chancellor says no to extended vacations by Amy Dunk in and Ian DeWaal ALBANY Winter vacations will not be extended as a result of the energy crisis at State University of New York colleges and universities, according to SUNY Chancellor Ernest L. Boyer. Dr. Boyer answered questions from SUNY student newspaper editors and ratio station news directors at a press conference in Albany last Friday, organized to improve communications between the central administration and SUNY student media. However, Dr. Boyer will allow individual campuses to either revise their calendars or lengthen intercessions as dictated by local energy shortages. Additionally, each campus has been directed to institute specific energy-saving measures to reduce usage 10 to IS per cent, including lowering of building temperatures and extinguishing unnecessary lights. These immediate steps should not cause any real hardships, said Dr. Boyer. If the crisis intensifies, however, he suggested more severe “Phase II” measures which would involve altering the statewide calender, rearranging class schedules and consolidating classes into fewer academic buildings to conserve heat. - business-oriented research groups such as the Committee for Economic Development, which recently recommended that state tuitions be doubled over the next five years. Students should not be forced to pay more for their education, the Chancellor feels, emphasizing he is not contemplating any tuition hike. There is no intention to increase or decrease tuition for out-of-state students, he added, although the legitimacy of “two-level tuition” is * Apocalypse Noting that educational institutions will not receive priority in the event of drastic fuel shortages, Dr. Boyer said a “Phase HI” would be “apocalyptic.” “We may have to rethink patterns of education" whereby students would engage in more off-campus independent learning projects, he indicated. The country did not prepare for the energy crisis, said Dr. Boyer, because “we were told our grandchildren would freeze and it wouldn’t bother us. We are destined to wait until problems roll in like waves. I would like to see the universities get ahead of social problems and look at options; to become more rational in the business of survival,” he explained. The SUNY Board of Trustees has recently been authorized t name a statewide emergency committee, which will include two student representatives, to study standby alternatives. Referring to the possibility of SUNY tuition increases. Dr. Boyer does not accept the philosophies of tested in the courts SUNY is presently conducting studies to increase financial aid to students. “Our goal is to cover middle-income students more adequately in scholarship money,” Dr. Boyer said. He urged full funding of the federal Basic Opportunity Grants to increase allotments to $700 per student and make them available to sophomores and juniors as well as freshmen. Addressing himself to the arming of Campus Security officers. Dr. Boyer commented that “statewide regulations assign to each campus president the right to determine how firearms are used.” He continued: “We have worked 4Vi years to develop a security program consiste t with university goals, and chose to have employees under the general authorization of the University rather than own police. By and large, security officers are not armed.” Last month two legislative proposals, clarifying the status of University “peace officers,” were approved by the SUNY Board of Trustees. ‘The Board redefined and sharpened the training program. It made explicit that peace officers may be authorized to carry protection without risk, stopping short of firearms,” Dr. Boyer explained. It is necessary to establish intermediate steps for arming security officers instead of sticking to “all or currently being nothing,” he said. I * \jT\B Chancellor Boyer Dollar dilemma State Universities cannot provide all the health services that are “reasonable and convenient," Chancellor Boyer said. Contending there must be an establishment of priorities, he asked: “If resources are curtailed, where do we put our dollars?” He supports minimum health care to cover students in emergencies. Finally, asked about state support for intercollegiate sports, Dr. Boyer said: *i played class B basketball until I failed to grow.” He then added: “We have not been able to get money from the State specifically identified for intercollegiate sports.” However, “I would like to see some moderate support. I have talked to one legislator with a favorable response. However, it will be a year or two before we see some results,” he concluded. �£9999 Hesse Colloquium examines the author’s conflicts in his writing Ji,L kjrhyMwr Aa amatytkai |«|rMngjrt andSfarric bst Friday ■d Saturday.

Suicide is found in both the very old and the very young above 90 and even below 10 years. 5. Suicide is found almost proportionally at all social and economic levels. 6. There is no other kind of death which leaves behind such long lasting, harmful mental health feelings: distress, shame, guilt, puzzlement and general disturbance. 7. Suicide has been known since earliest history. The Old Testament lists four cases of suicide, which it neither condemns nor condones; Samson, Saul, Ahitophel and Abimelech. A.

Part One deals with suicide in general and suicide prevention facilities on campus. by Eve Meyerson Spectrum Staff Writer Suicide, according to the standard dictionary definition, is or of “the act instance killing oneself.” intentionally Gene W. Brockopp expressed a somewhat broader interpretation in his paper on Crisis Theory and Suicide Prevention: “Suicide by its very nature is a crisis situation. This jis true whether we are speaking about a suicide that is already in progress, a suicidal individual or a person who makes vague threats to commit suicide. In each case, the person is overwhelmed by a problem in his life, and suicide becomes a means to find a solution.” Other aspects of suicidal behavior include self-destructive and self-mutilative tendencies. scratching, include: These head nail-biting, banging, ingestion, burning, wrist-slashing, and so on, in which the body or part of it is object of either self-destruction or local self-destruction, a form of partial suicide to avert total suicide. While you may not be ready to slit your wrists or jump off that building, a number of counseling facilities are available to help deal with depression and suicide to University students and staff, and in some instances, the Buffalo — community. Suicide feelings common “Suicidal feelings are more common than people realize. It’s a very common feeling Some ... people experience thoughts lifcc with frequency,” these commented Ron Burrows, a staff counselor in Harriman Counseling Center. The greatest difficulty a counselor faces is getting the person who is experiencing suicidal feelings to express them. “Our culture, our ethic, our religions do not support suicide in fact, it’s considered a shameful thing to do. People feel guilty having these thoughts. It’s not honorable, it’s admitting failure,” - Dr. Burrows said. “Usually, suicidal feelings go along with isolation, worthlessness and conflicts which may seem too large to be resolved . These feelings may be triggered by such external events as flunking school,, losing someone important, or someone dying.” A person who never learned how to trust in other people probably feels alone he explained. isolated, and “Frequently a person in a suicidal tremendous feeling state is category they fit into,” Dr. Burrows pointed oout.

Most people who kill themselves in the United States are native-born Caucasian males in the 45-60 age group. 5. Suicide rates go up during depression years, remain stable during prosperity years, go down during war years. 6. Suicide rate increases for white males, from 10.9 at age 20 to 60.3 at age 80 7. The suicide rate for white females starts at 3.2 at age 20, rises to a high, of 11.4 at age 50, then drops to 7.7 at age 80. 8. There are close to 500 self-inflicted deaths by adolescents and children each year in the United States. 9. Suicide is among the first ten killers in 23 of our 50 states; it ranks as high as the sixth leading cause of death in one state (Nevada). 10. The West Coast has the highest rate, 14.7; lowest region is West Sough Central (Arkansas, Louisiana, Oklahoma and Texas), 8.6 from the Counselor Education Department, psychiatric nurses involved in a Master’s Degree program, third-year interns from other and Meyer Hospital counseling-related areas. The Mental Health Department deals with “the usual problems one sees in young people.” Some students have difficulty with authority figures, some with restrictions placed on them by parents, others in breaking away from family ties. There is also the problem of a student at odds with “The ir environmen that does counseling on a basis similar to Harriman. The two agencies work closely together, according to Lloyd A.

External report questioned statement which, as even Dr. Gelbaum admitted, To the Editor. DITORIAL Trial by one's peers Ketter's approval, the With President Robert long-awaited Student-Wide Judiciary has finally become a reality. While many students tend to ignore accomplishments of this type, the establishment of an all-student court where students accused of non-academic violations can be fairly tried by their peers is a vital step toward complete student self-government. Like the recently-enacted undergraduate grievance procedure, which provides channels for redress when a student feels he has been treated unfairly by a faculty member, the passage of the Student-Wide Judiciary by this year's Student Association is the culmination of two years of struggle by former students and past SA's. Ron Stein, associate director of Student Affairs, must be commended for his patience and untiring efforts in overcoming two years of bureaucratic hurdles in both of these important breakthroughs. ... — Students new to this University cannot realize how much of an improvement the new court is over the Hearing Commission on Campus Disorder. Established after the 1970 disturbances by the SUNY Board of Trustees, that court, nicknamed the "Ketter Commission," employed two administrators and two faculty members (plus two students) to hear every case of student infraction of State University rules. Unfortunately, while most student cases seem to have been going to the student courts, the Hearing Commission is no footnote in history: it still exists and it still hears student cases. While technically, the Student-Wide Judiciary is designed to try University infractions and the Hearing Commission State University infractions, the overlap is obvious. If one student assaults another in the Union, or a group of students block a faculty member's office in protest, to which body does the case go? Dr. Ketter or his designee makes that decision, and the potential for undermining the Student-Wide Judiciary's effectiveness by bypassing it on i importynt cases is distressing. , The Hearing Commission is an anachronism. If this University is truly trying to move out of the era of in loco parentis (the school legally acting as the student's parent), .then every student must be treated as an adult and is entitled to a trial by his peers, not to be judged by faculty and administration in a blatantly paternalistic court. is smoothly Judiciary Once the Student-Wide functioning, we urge that an amendment be presented to the SUNY Board of Trustees, detailing why the Hearing Commission is now obsolete and should be abolished. While that body might once have been justifiable following campus strife and in the absence of any student court, it is now neither acceptable nor needed. Students, just like faculty members or the citizens of this country, are entitled to the due process of peer review, a fundamental constitutional right. The new student court represents an important step toward complete student self-governance. But it can be rendered impotent if it can be bypassed at the Administration's pleasure. The broader issue is whether students, who pay taxes, can vote and can be drafted, are to be treated as adults. The students who rioted in 1968—1970 were demanding a stronger voice in determining their own future. The new student court represents a responsible step in that direction; it would be- ironic if a reactionary outgrowth of the 1970 disorders now served to block or student toward responsible progress diminish self-government. A court in which administrators and faculty try students should be relegated to the same fate as dorm curfews, fraternities and visiting hours. Once the Student-Wide Judiciary has proven its worth, the anachronistic Hearing Commission must be abolished, and with it, the last vestiges of University paternalism toward students. Like the grievance procedure, the Student-Wide Judiciary is likely to go unnoticed until a student is in a predicament and needs to utilize its services. But when that time comes for a student accused of an infraction, his fate will not be determined by either a hostile Buffalo city court or in an administration/faculty-dominated hearing. Instead, his case will be fairly considered by his peers in an all-student court. Page six The Spectrum Wednesday, 5 December 1973 . I’d like to comment on one of the “internal contradictions” in the Extramural Evaluation of the Colleges which I pointed out at the recent open meeting of the Faculty Senate Colleges Committee iss e is; (The Spectrum, Nov. 16). The question at Who besides “regular University faculty” is qualif ed to teach and/or supervise teaching? On one hand, the Evaluators declare: “The colleges, much more than the departments, have the potential to make good use of those who lack normal academic credentials, but who nonetheless may have riches to offer.” On the other hand, these perhaps, same Evaluators insist (and not surprisingly, college since four are full professors, the fifth a president, and all were commissioned by a committee of the Faculty Senate): that “University faculty members teach or directly supervise all courses,” that the “head” of each College “be a member of the University faculty,” and that ‘at be least three members of the University faculty involved” in each College. What gives? Simply, I think, that despite their acknowledgement that in the case of certain instructors, “formal credentials would not matter, the Evaluators have hardly risen above the prejudices they tend to identify of their profession “teachers” with “University faculty.” To such an extent, indeed, that: 1) the headings “Teacher Competence” and “Teacher Diversity” appearing in the version of the Evaluation printed in the Reporter, were “Faculty Competence” and “Faculty Diversity” in the original (mimeographed) publication; 2) according to the Evaluators, “University regulations require that every non-faculty instructor must teach under the a supervision of a regular faculty member” . “just isn’t true.” (The regulation applies only to undergraduate instructors, not to graduate students or people from the community.) Since in their plan for “transformation” of the the criteria of faculty Colleges only those which involvement mentioned above would be approved, the Evaluators have as much as said that if no University faculty member is interested in teaching or directly supervising a course, it’s not worth taking, and that if a College can’t find three faculty members who are willing to be “involved” in it and one who is willing to “head” it, it isn’t worthy to exist. What arrogance! First of all, it is by no means beyond question that professors know more, even about the subjects they profess, than anyone else. Second, it is even less certain that they can teach (or supervise the teaching of) those subjects better than anyone else. Third, it is rather unlikely that they are the people best qualified to “head” colleges where, for instance, “such seemingly anti-intellectual or non-intellectual pursuits as work in crafts, studies of purported parapsychological phenomena, or examination of mystical experience, can provide a valuable means of engaging student interest in the application of critical judgement.” Indeed, it seems to me that the position of “regular faculty member” would tend precisely to disqualify a person to head one of those particular Colleges which are, as the Evaluators observe with approval, “meeting needs to invoke alternative points of view in economic, political and cultural aspects of society that do not appear adequately represented within regular University fare.” Burton Weiss Instructor, College F — Political theater lauded To the Editor. This letter is to acknowledge my appreciation and admiration for the Living Theater production and the people who conceived of the idea. I was glad to finally see a production come from UUAB that not only stimulated the people in the “audience” as a form of entertainment, but also stimulated them intellectually, emotionally and hopefully confronted them with a little bit of themselves. The Living Theater brought something special to UB and it felt good to know that there are people who care about other people and arc willing to dedicate their lives to bettering the conditions of humankind through political enlightehment. Let’s heed the message of the Living Theater and put our beliefs into practice through the formation of political theater groups. Ray Stone Untimely visit to Chile To the Editor. Chairman of the Linguistics to Chile this week, to linguistics a two month in school/conference which he has organized under the auspices of the Fulbright Commission. Paul’s presence, as a linguist of international repute, is critical to the success of the conference. Because of events in Chile, this will be the only such international conference in Chile in the foreseeable future. I know that all Fulbright scholars have already left Chile and all other international events, including the Pan American Games of 1975, have Paul Garvin, Department, participate is been cancelled.: going ’ The military junta in Chile has come to power through some of the most brutal and savage acts known to civilized society, from innumerable instances of rape and robbery to the torture and murder of defenseless prisoners. Paul won’t deny that the conference will be an indirect credit and recognition of the junta, but he justifies his action by saying his commitment to linguistics is stronger than his commitment to politics. His act exposes the moral bankruptcy of the University and is particularly disturbing to me because Paul Garvin is otherwise essentially a good person and a friend of mine. Marvin Resnikoff �■(ter* Outside Record Shop oozing In ruled out in the near future.” He said the United States would seek to ease inspections at the Mexican border to increase the flow of marijuana and Latin American hashish to the United States through Mexico. by Clem Colucci So you think the energy crisis is bad? Check out these recent news items: BENGASI, Libya (UPI) Libya’s foreign minister today announced that Libya would place an embargo on all shipments of hashish to the United States and all other countries supporting Israel in the current Middle East war. The Libyan official said the first step in the embargo would amount to a 15% cutback in exports of Libyan hash and “will be cut back further unless these nations discontinue support of Israeli aggression and demand that she return all territories stolen during the 1967 war.” Libya accounts for an undetermined but large percentage of the hashish smoked in the United States. The Netherlands, already suffering under the Arab oil embargo, will be especially hurt because it produces almost no domestic hashish. - ROTTERDAM, Holland (Reuters) Here in Holland, Dutch drug users are beginning to feel - the pinch from the Arab drug embargo. Holland produces almost no domestic hash and is dependent upon Middle East sources. An announcement by U.S. Secretary of State Henry Kissinger that the United States was willing “in principle” to aid the Netherlands brought little consolation. Jan Hofmeyr, a sophomore at the University of Utrecht, typifies the attitude of many: “It’s really got me strung out, man. I’m dropping more acid now than I have in the past year and I’ve snorted so much coke the blood vessels in my nose are ruptured.” WASHINGTON (UPI) Hashish czar William Rogers again denied that hashish rationing would be necessary “at any time within the next 18 months.” - by Bernard Gwertzman Special to The New York Times WASHINGTON, Dec. 5 A spokesman for the State Department said today the United States “will not knuckle under to blackmail” and is considering “appropriate, strong retaliatory measures against the Arab countries” if the newly-announced Libyan hashish embargo is not lifted immediately. The spokesman warned all Arab leaders that any country joining the hash embargo would “meet with determined resistance from the United States.” Press Secretary Robert J. McCloskey refused to comment on reports that the United States would place an embargo on all exports of more popularly known as methaqualone “qualuudes” headed for Arab countries. — Fears guns To the Editor. CAIRO (AP) Egyptian President Anwar — el-Sadat said Egypt would further reduce its hashish exports by 30%, bringing the total cutback in hash exports to the United States to 45%, WASHINGTON (UPI) Government drug supply exports predict a 27% shortage in the hashish supply by mid-winter as a result of the latest cutbacks in Arab hash exports. Treasury Secretary George Schultz said the Administration would not seek to ration the available supply and indicated he would prefer a tax on the drug. - — - About the arming pf Campus Security It’s my understanding that when Students Against Arming Security was formed, their “leadership” made statements to the effect of “we’re an apolitical group,” and “political groups on campus are welcome, but we don’t want them bringing in their politics.” They apparently felt that the issue of whether or not campus cops should be given guns was somehow devoid of any political consideration. By so discouraging a basic analysis of why there are moves being made to arm Security, SAAS in effect discourages the people on campus from seeing the situation for what it really is. Preparations are being made to create a situation in which people on campus will be afraid to effectively express outrage ovdr current and future developments in the power structure’s consolidation of a fascist state in the U.S. When BSU president Larry Williams was harassed and busted, off campus, by Campus Security on bogus, trumped-up charges, and forced to part with plenty of money for his legal defense, that was a clear case of political harassment. And it’s not hard to guess what’s in store if and when - ALGIERS (AP) Representatives of eight Arab and North African countries met here today to prepare a joint program to cut off the supply ofhashish to countries sympathetic to Israel. Muhammad Mokhrani of Morocco said his government was ready to stop all exports of “Black Moroccan” a particularly potent and much sought-after variety of hash and drastically restrict all other hashish exports, Egyptain representative Abdullah el Qasr told newsmen after the closed conference that the states were “very near” an agreement that would “bring the supporters of aggression to their knees.” — — - WASHINGTON (UPI) The White House today announced the appointment of former Secretary of State William Rogers as special advisor to the President on the hashish crisis. As the new “hash czar,” Rogers will be responsible for administering programs to help alleviate the hashish crisis brought on by the Arab drug embargo. Rogers said hashish rationing, while not being contemplated at this time, “could not be - Security gets its guns.

Howie Kurtz — Guns and - WASHINGTON (AP) President Richard Nixon is meeting with his top drug advisors to work out specific proposals on the hash crisis. Mr. Nixon will make a television broadcast Thursday at 7 p.m. (est), outlining his proposals. Sources indicate the President will seek to relax restructions on foreign substances traditionally used to stretch hashish such ds' 1 camel dung and mud, open up more Federal land for marijuana production and implement allocation programs to direct hash to schools and hospitals. ; j-. for students, but, rather, will serve the interests of the administration. More guns on campus will only increase the chances of violent confrontation. It will be used against all students, particularly politically active and Third World students. At Wittenburg State, for example, a student was shot dead by CAMPUS SECURITY GUARDS when he was seen on a ledge of one of the dorms trying to visit his girlfriend. This example and the experience at Kent, Orangeburg, Southern University, and Jackson State leaves a bitter memory in the minds of most students, and it cannot be easily forgotten. Guns in the hands of campus cops means anything but security. As a result of the 1969-70 demonstrations, where a number of students were shot, Ketter began to study ways to tighten up on security. Of all the proposals, only one has been accepted, the one which enables the guards to carry guns. The administration has propped up the crime issue. We did not ask for additional “protection” nor were there mass complaints about it. Crime has decreased 38% in the last year and it is not a pressing problem here at U.B. The students have shown overwhelming opposition to the arming of security as indicated by the S.A. referendum, the S.A. itself, The Spectrum, and the Students Against Armed Security. It is the demand of the administration to give campus guards guns, not that of the students. Ketter and the administration want control over guns on campus. This accounts for their desire to get rid of Brinks guards, who guard the payroll, and replace them with his own armed guards. This is a ploy to get the guards armed. Once this happens it will be harder to disarm them. If Ketter is so concerned about our security, why does he try to create hostility and disunity among us. During a meeting with Ketter he told us that the Black students had asked that security be armed. This is a vicious lie. Our security and strength lie in each other and that is what Ketter is so afraid of. - • Students Against A rmed Security Wednesday, 5 December 1973 The Spectrum Page seven . . �Trains THEPLANTPARLOUR NFTA rapid transit forum Members of the University will be invited to express their opinions regarding the proposed construction of an overhead train station on the Main Street campus at an open forum next Wednesday, December 12. by Sponsored the Civil community Engineering Department to generate student and faculty input into rapid transit planning, the New York Peace Center, who is assisting CAC in arranging the forum. Political realities “The political realities [of the transit line] are just as much a part of the situation as the technical aspects. If there are no community groups on the panel, people will receive a terribly biased and narrow version,” he contended. He objected to an on-campus overhead structure on the grounds it would be “a severe cost in terms of the environment and will resemble an expressway forum will consist of a panel discussion with representatives from the Niagara Frontier Transit Authority (NFTA), Bechtel Associates (engineering consultent for NFTA), and the University’s Facilities Planning. through campus.” The Community Action Corps No final decision has been (CAC) feels, however, the panel made as to whether an aerial does not reflect a balanced structure will run across the representation of involved parties campus, according to John Telfer, and is urging the Civil Engineering Vice-President of Facilities Department to allow several Planning.

Additionally, NFTA has not soil completed testing, its ridership, and cost analysis reports and the alignments have not been determined. He indicated the Administration and NFTA will be more than willing to accept concerned from suggestions individuals before the final plans for the University station are approved. A D.

When asked about the lack of Christian-related courses, Mr. Riszko noted the problem was due to a lack of faculty, and.hp descrubed student interest in future courses on Christianity as being “very great.” Atheism no threat Mr. Riszko dismissed the apparent atheism of many college students today: “I don’t believe that is a problem today. I haven’t met many dogmatic atheists on this campus and I don’t feel that they are a threat to our program dying out.” Furthermore, he believes the program will grow and that students are “by no means” giving up their religious views.

Describing the birth of the program, John Riszko, Religious Studies Program director, said the program arose out of student interest in religion, the need for expanding consciousness, and students* search for meaning in their present existence. In the 1971 spring semester the first religious studies courses were organized at the University under a single program. At the time, the program was not incorporated into the Collegiate Assembly because “The Women’s Studies College was more politically organized and the campus was more sensitive to its arguments than ours,” according to Mr. Riszko. He noted that presently the Religious Studies Program enrollment surpasses that of the Women’s Studies College.

He didn’t shoot that well, but he really hustles.” The Bulls biggest problem was consistency on offense, especially from Horace Brawley. Brawley and Ray Goss teamed for a mere 12 of 34 from the field, continually missing from the 35-40 foot range. “Now that our defense is Working,” observed Richardson, “we’ve got to work on a offense. We’ll have to confine our shooting, in case we have a night like tonight.” With too many more nights like tonight, the cage Bulls could be in for a long winter. JV basketball Baby Bulls lose on defense by Paige Miller Spectrum Staff Writer Defense was the key factor in the junior varsity basketball Bulls’ loss to Canisius, 102-69, Monday evening. The junior varsity has now lost both of its games, allowing over one hundred points in each contest. Canisius’ tough defense did not allow Buffalo to penetrate. Consequently, the Bulls had to settle for low percentage shots. Buffalo John coach Hill commented: There was too much dribbling. “We weren’t aggressive enough [off the boards]. We got a lot of second shots , but they weren’t going in,” added Hill. The Bulls shot only 28% from the floor, while their defense was very leaky, allowing many layups. Canisius coach Bill Bennett also thought defense was the key to the game, but for a different reason. Bennett was not satisfied with his team’s 1-2-2 zone, so he switched to a man-to-man defense- “We weren’t running enough,” Bennett remarked. “When to a switch you man-to-man, you run more.” At that point the Golden Griffs blew the game open. \ ••••••••••••••••••••••• by David J. Rubin Spectrum Staff Writer The Buffalo fencing season opened on Saturday as the Bulls were soundly defeated by Cornell, 20-7. The Big Red took all three events, winning 6-3, 6-3, and 8-1 in the foil, epee, and sabre competition, respectively. Buffalo also dropped a 15-12 decision to Cornell’s “B” team. Despite the loss, coach Sid Schwartz had some kind words for his swordsmen. “It’s (the score] not as bad as I thought it would be,” he commented. After the B team match, he was even more optimistic, observing: “1 think we developed well through the match.” Schwartz was not totally pleased, however. The Bulls’ experienced epee group was Bull sophomore guard Ernie stopped 6-3, with the three Johnson sparkled.

They took the first five sabre bouts, the first six epee duels, and four out of the first five foil matches fpr fifteen wins, enough to insure victory. With the pressure off, Buffalo finally settled down and fenced the Big Red even up the rest of the way. The Bulls were led by junior Gerry Manna on foil and sophomore Rich Visconti on epee, each winning two bouts. Manna accummulated three additional wins in fencing the “B” team. This Saturday, Buffalo will be at home to face McMaster University and the University of Toronto. Schwartz noted, “They won’t be Cornell.” However, he is not treating them lightly. Buffalo beat Toronto last year, but the season is too young to tell how the revamped Bulls will do in competition. ‘The boys have lots of spirit,” acknowledged Schwartz, but the Bull starters are still not set. Schwartz added, ‘There’s another four or five men we want to try out.” -Schwartz singled out Marty Schiff as a possible starter.

I’m hoping that when we get a new facility that recruiting will improve. We just hope we can get kids who want good education and want to swim,” Sanford added. The Bulls schedule is not as rough as last season when they faced teams such as Buffalo State, Guelph, and Canisius. While Buffalo w31 compete with Canisius twice this season, both Buffalo State and Guelph have been dropped from the schedule, “Last year’s schedule was over our heads. I think this year’s opponents give us a more realistic chance,” Sanford noted. “Colgate should be the toughest team we face this year. St. Bonaventure and Niagara are also some of the better teams we face,” added Staff Writer “There,is only one way to go, and that is up.” Assistant swimming coach Craig Ritz chose those words to describe this year’s swimming team prospects. The Bulls, coached by Bill Sanford, are hoping to field a respectable team after last year’s 0-17 record. Sanford, in his 2Sth year as Buffalo’s swimming coach, reflected on this season’s squad: “This is a building year. The team is looking better and with a little added strength we could be a team.

It’s a quiet, middle-class residential area within easy walking distance of the University. It’s an attractive area, dose to two shopping plazas, with schools as near as any parent could wish. It would seem strange that most of the people in this neighborhood are in a mad rush to sell their homes and flee the city of Buffalo as fast as they can. What’s happening here is a microcosmic example of a general trend all throughout Buffalo and, on a larger scale, throughout the country. The news media has recently been devoting a great amount of attention to the exodus from the cities. It’s not easy to understand how it feds to watch neighborhoods empty themselves if you live in a booming suburb or come from a small town. During the last three years I’ve watched it happen on my street and it’s an eerie sensation. The panic is contagious. My parents, who darted their married life in the suburbs and moved to the city because they hated the inward-looking isolation of suburbia, are now contemplating where to move. Anyone who is on the streets in downtown Buffalo at five o'clock can watch what happens. People pour out of the office buddings and head straight for their cars. The stores remain open but are empty of shoppers. By S :30, the streets are empty, the traffic is headed out on the thruways and you’re one of the few people left. And you know you better evacuate soon, too, because if something were to happen, who’d be there to help? The downtown restaurants are craving business and more than half have either doaed completely, geared their hours to the business day or have moved to suburbia. The after-hours drink. formerly a tradition at a nearby bar, is now had somewhere far away from downtown. The city isis rapidly becoming a place where people go to work or to attend classes. Afterwards, they return to the sanctity of the periphery. The statistics which attest to this fact aren’t very pretty. In 1960, the federal census showed a population of 532,751 within the city limits of Buffalo. In 1970, this figure was 462,768. The overall population of Erie County increased by almost 49,000 during this ten-year period. Judging from this inverse ratio, two conditions are present: the exodus from the city has been massive, and Buffalo has a lot of empty houses. Flight to the suburbs 1 have talked with some of the people who used to live on my street but have since made the move to the suburbs. One man works for the Fire Department. He said he couldn’t stand the city anymore because at the station where he worked, the fire alarms were constant and the actual fires almost non-existent. He found himself arriving at the scene from which the call originated only to be jeered at by groups of kids who thought it was entertaining to watch firemen show up expecting a fire. He siad he tolerated the situation for years and finally decided to move out of the city where he could do his job. If isn’t funny, he explained, if there is a real fire and all the engines are out on false alarms. One woman said she moved her family to West Seneca because she felt she was putting money into her home here for nothing. People don’t want to live in the city anymore because they’re afraid, she explained; she knew if she waited any longer to move she’d lose money on her house. The property values in the suburbs are steadily rising; in the city they’re falling fast. Crime up, values down A .child was murdered recently in an apartment Monday, 3 Decamber 1973 complex in my area. 1 know a family who lives in that complex and they’re moving to the Riverside section. Some of their children are grown but they still have two young teenagers. The mother says she doesn’t want her daughters raped or mugged. The parents don’t want to leave the city entirely and they consider Riverside the safest place to go that they can afford. The unspoken fear in many of the cases is the influx of blacks into previously all-white neighborhoods. Parents fear theft, the exposure of drugs to pre-adolescents, and plummetting property values. Racial strife in Buffalo’s high schools are just one indication of a growing trend of violence and gang warfare in the city. Whether or not the white parents’ fears of the increasing numbers of minorities are justified, to them they are compelling reasons to leave the city. Recently, a little card was circulated around my neighborhood. It said that our neighbors at such-and-such number were selling their home. Would we know of any “suitable” family who might want to join our neighborhood? There is no “For Sale” sign up at the house. The people there said they’re hoping they can sell privately to get the price they’re looking for. They’re old and they’re afraid. No longer shocking Within the last two years, there have been three reported rapes at the comer of my street. The first time everyone was hysterical. Now people just shake their heads and wonder. No one is on the street after dark, and that’s pretty early in the winter months. No one waits for the now-scarce buses. Few pee walk their dogs. Calls to the neighborhood police station have more than doubled, and false alarms constitute a great number of these calls. If you think bicycle theft is bad at the University, try keeping a bike in the garage behind your own house. People mention Detroit as an extreme example of the residential deterioration of a city. It’s happening here and it ’s happening fast. It won’t be long before the most desired place for students to live will be on the Amherst campus. The University is making its own move to suburbia, and the Main Street campus will shortly become a relative calm in the middle of a big storm. �Leonard Nimoy —a poets soul beneath pointy ears Leonard Nimoy, an imposing six feet Nimoy created Spock, down to tali, is an aware individual with insight the little mannerisms (such as into what’s happening around him, and inquisitively raised eyebrows) which one who is not afraid to attack the have become endeared to us through institutions which fostered his careet.

He has no plans to write for the movies or TV. Regarding his future career aspirations, he said: “I would like to do alot of very terrific, very exciting, very important J V -Ellen Klauber I unique ’employed Trek ideas Nimoyfeels ‘Star by Richard Lippman Spectrum Staff Writer ‘There is too little exploration taking place in television drama today,” Leonard Nimoy told an overflow crowd in the Moot Courtroom on the Amherst Campus. “Most of the work that’s being done is derivative work,” explained the former Star Trek actor. When a program is chosen to go on the air, tleevision executives will cover themselves by “taking aspects of other successful shows and building them into this new show,” Mr. Nimoy said. However, “when Star Trek was conceived, it really was an exploratory idea, because true science Action was missing from television.” The former Mr. Spock said Star Trek producer Gene Roddenbury deserves much of the credit because he fought a constant battle against derivative work in his show. For instance, when Mr. Roddenbury “conceived of the idea of having a pointed-eared individual as one of the heroes of the series, the specific verbal response that he got from the network programming head was: ‘television series must have characters with whom the American public can identify’.” This kind of response typifies the “rigid, channeled kind of vision which denies the creative process in television," he said, and a revolution would have to occur in television to get creativity operating. Still contemporary Mr. Nimoy said he is currently doing the voice for the Star Trek cartoons, which he Woflld prefer to call “animated shows.” When they first asked him to do the sound track, he said; “1 got sick.” However, he is satisfied with the cartoons, although he does not feel they are up to the caliber of the original show. ‘They have made a very sincere and quite successful attempt to maintain a certain stature,” he said, “and they are nothing at all like the shows that surround them on Saturday morning.” When Star Trek went off the air, Mr. Nimoy said, he expected it to quietly fade away after three years of reruns. Now, however, he realizes he was totally wrong about the show’s life span and believes it will go on forever. “The scripts still hold up, and somehow as each year goes by and new scientific and political developments take place, the show seems to be very contemporary.” Reruns make money “In Los Angeles,” he continued, “we’ve got a bunch of real hard core Star Trek junkies.” In one instance, a young man “came up to me and said ‘Man, I watch Star Trek every day, it’s on at six o’clock!” Mr. Nimoy responded: “But you miss the six o’clock news," to which the young.man “I can believe £far 7>ek„fl*h’t believe the news,” Will Star Trek be coming back?;, Mr. Nimoy seemed to think not. About two years ago NfiC decided maybe it should, and approached Paramount, which owns the rights to Star Trek he said. Paramount turned them down because “they are making a lot of money off the reruns.” Paramount feels if it were to put new Star Trek episodes on the air, it would lose the money it is making from the reruns, and result in deficit financing. However, if people lose interest in the reruns in two or three years, Paramount might consider making new Star Treks, Mr. Nimoy answered: , explained. Scientifically realistic ‘There’s been some talk in the last few mon ths about making a Star Trek movip, a feature for theatrical release,” Mr. Nimoy said. No decisions have been made regarding production and casting, but “it's possible,” he commented. The Enterprise, the space ship used on Star Trek, was designed by the Rand Corporation, he said. Rand attempted to predict the different types of energy that might be used in the 20th and 21st centuries. “There was a sincere effort on Gene Roddenbury’s part to keep Star Trek Faculty of Engineering & Applied Sciences CAREER GUIDANCE PROGRAM • Speakers, films & free suds • Dec, 7th at 3:00 p.m. in room 5 Acheson SPEAKERS: William Hall Opportunities in Nuclear Engineering The projections of electric generating capacity for tha yaar 2000 indicate that at least 50% of our power will be produced from fission energy.

Its emphasis was on the science of science fiction, rather than science fantasy. Mr. Nimoy sayed he enjoyed doing Star Trek and he was “more into it than Mission Impossible, although Mission Impossible was not as hard work.” He is undecided as to what he will be doing in the future. He is writing his second book, and is deeply into black-and-white photography. “I’d be glad to do science fiction again, as long as the script is good enough and it’s challenging,” he said. The former Science Officer of the Enterprise said he began his acting career when he was eight years old in a local neighborhood theater in Boston, “because I was a lousely baskeyball player, so the best thing to do was to start acting right away.” By the time he was 17, he had done several children's plays. At 17, he was cast in a play about “a Jewish family in a tenement neighborhood and that was my family. The kid in the play said things I could have said myself, and I became very much involved in the idea of drama as a social way of expressing myself.” When asked at the end if he would sign autographs, he said he would be delighted to. However, when warned that he would never be able to leave, he suggested that he could “transport out.” The Spectrum is published three times a week, on Monday, Wednesday and Friday, during the regular academic year; and once a week, on Friday, during the summer months; by Sub-Board I, Inc. of the State University of New York at Buffalo.

Circulation: 14,000 paid at �by Larry Kraftowitz Campus Editor The fate of a proposal for student membership on the Presidential Review Board on Tenure is now in the hands of die Faculty-Senate Executive Committee. The resolution, calling for one graduate and one undergraduate to serve as non-voting members of the Board, has already been approved by the Student Association (SA), Graduate Student and the (GSA), Association Committee Faculty-Student Coordinating (FSCC). However, opposition is expected from many faculty members who maintian that allowing students to be present at tenure discussions would violate the principle of peer review. “Discussions should be carried on exclusively among peers,” contended George Hochfield, Chairman-elect of the Faculty-Senate. “1 don’t believe students are competent to make tenure decisions.” ‘Extremely qualified’ Strongly disagreeing, former GSA President Joe Poveromo said the proposal as passed by the FSCC called for two “extremely qualified” students to serve on the Tenure Review Board; a senior undergraduate who has been active in University affairs and a graduate in the PhD program who was familiar with research and has an “excellent awareness of professional requirements.” “It still will be peer review because students will have a non-voting status, apd. will not in any way dilute the tenure process,” Mr. Poveromo emphasized. “How could two students sitting reading dossiers offer any significant advice?” Dr. Hochfield questioned. Reviewing an instructor’s credentials requires a “certain kind of knowledge,” he stated. Instead of continuing to “bark up the wrong tree,” Dr. Hochfield suggested that students increase their input.by making sure that SCATE books (student evaluations of teachers) were published frequently so departmental faculty could better assess student opinion of instructors. Tenure decisions receive the strongest influence at the departmental level and the Presidential Review Board is not such an “all-powerful body,” Dr. Hochfield said. ‘In a certain student added, “the sense,” he Question of students on tenure board unresolved governments are being seduced by its high-sounding name.” Voice for students Executive Committee Member Mark Scechner strongly supported allowing two non-voting students to serve on the Board. “The whole notion of peer review itself is medieval,” Dr. Scechner said. “The entire educational community has got to have some voice in how that community should be structured.” Criticizing the Presidential Review Board system as a whole, one spokesman said it made many “gratuitous” decisions which were lacking in educational rationale. An unofficial quota system existed, he said, which “took the form of a tendency to deny early tenure,” making it extremely difficult for instructors to (Instructors can teach at this University six years; after that, they are either granted tenure or released.” Having two students on the Tenure Board would be a “quality control measure,” to ensure that the board wasn’t manipulated by extraneous forces like pressure from quotas, the spokesman maintained. As qualified as anyone' While supporting the proposal in theory. Executive Committee member Micheal Metzger indicated there were “problematic aspects” with regard to the contract between the professors and the Senate Professional Association (SPA). The contract specifically states that academic advancement decisions are to be made by peer review. Dr. Metzger explained. "The question is whether this means it should be exebtsivet 4 A student serving on the Tenure Board might even hamper student interests. Dr. Metzger suggested, because a faculty member who was refused tenure might claim it was denied because of student opposition and proceed to file a grievance against the University. “It’$/ not a black-and-white issue, but I’ve sat on important committees with students and they are as qualified as anyone,” he asserted. “I’m absolutely for it in theory, but there may be ramifications that I haven’t thought about.” Reaching more members the proposal on After hearing Wednesday, the Faculty-Senate Executive Committee can either act on the resolution and send it to President Robert Ketter, or send it directly to the Faculty-Senate for a full vote. Stategy considerations may dictate whether it ends up in the full Senate, one informed source claimed. However, if the Executive Committee approves it but the opposition protests loudly enough, he feared it would be sent to the full Senate, where widespread opposition is expected. Although he would not take a stance on the proposal. Faulty-Senate Chairman Gil Moore favored sending the resolution to the full Senate even if the Executive Committee rejected it, a procedure which would probably then be welcomed by students. However, he said this might not be possible because under Senate by-laws, the Faculty-Senate can review only those issues that have been sent from an official Fac-Sen committee.

The New York Student Association (NYSA) formed in the early weeks of September is fighting the present status of the New York marijuana laws. Originated by Ithaca College students Andy Telsey and Kenny May, the group has spent the last three months organizing two major conventions, establishing a charter, and fostering communication among various New York State colleges and universities. “We are planning a second conference at Hofstra University on February 1,” said Mr. May, explaining NYSA’s future plans. “Because of Hofstra’s proximity to New York City (the school is located on Long Island), we hope to get major media coverage of the convention. “Howard Samuels [unannounced Democratic candidate for Governor] has already said he would attend.” At the last conference, held October 12-14, State Minority Leader Jeremiah Bloom (D., Brooklyn) spoke in support of the students’ effort. Permanent organization Although the NYSA was created in reaction to passage of the toughest drug law in the nation, both Mr. May and Mr. Telsey plan to establish a permanent organization. Once the NYSA becomes better tackle will organized, they such student-oriented issues as repealing the sales tax on textbooks and increased aid to independent schools. At the present time, however, they are focusing their efforts on the decriminalization of marijuana. “I think we can be successful,” Mr. May said. “With the proper media coverage and a large turnout at the February convention, our effort will really get off the ground.” Following the convention, Mr. May the group would begin concentrating their three-pronged attack on the marijuana laws, with the ultimate goal of a statute similar to the one passed in Oregon in November. The new Oregon statute said reduces a marijuana to a status similar to a minor traffic violation, with a maximum fine of $ 100 attached. The assault on the marijuana laws will offense BOOTHS* V* <nc- concentrate on lobbying in the State Legislature. “Once we establish the number of people who we are actually representing, then the legislators will be more receptive to our lobbying and we will also be better aware of who we are speaking for.” The group is seeking further recognition from other highly visible people besides Mr. Samuels, and has been in contact with the National Organization for the Repeal of the Marijuana laws (NORML) in this regard. NORML sent Frtmk Fiormante of the New York division of NORML to the last NYSA conference. NYSA has also been seeking contact with Ramsey Clark, former Attorney General under President Johnson, who recently filed suit in Washington, D.C. to decriminalize the federal marijuana laws. Part two of the attack will focus on obtaining sufficient signatures on petitions to place the question of decriminalizing pot on the election ballot as a referendum next November. This will require a huge effort and a great deal of manpower, but Mr. May seems fairly confident the objective can be achieved. The third portion of the attack would simply concentrate on a massive letter-writing campaign. Mr. May described two alternatives: “We can either print up a standard form letter which the legislators might throw out, or ask that individual letters be written to all the legislators in the hope of generating personalized responses.” The printed letter would create the most volume, but individual letters would have the greater impact, Mr. May noted. Twelve regions The state has presently been broken down into twelve regions, each containing ten schools. Within each region is a coordinating school which serves as a communication link between the region and the policy board, located at Ithaca College. According to the NYSA charter, policy decisions will be made in Ithaca by a policy board, elected from the members at large, and disseminated to the various schools. No specific timetable has been established for the drive to decriminalize marijuana. At the moment, explained Mr. May, the primary focus is to “maximize attendance” at the February meeting. A more exact timetable will be established at that meeting, as well as the determination of specific goals and priorities. Former students to insi^Wtetxecitations Is Rocky ’s resignation due In an attempt to make it less of a “dehumanizing experience,” recitation sections have been to and added Childhood Adolescence one of the most and therefore largest popular courses at this University. Students in the course will be used as teaching assistants to help their peers with the semester’s work. Norman Solkoff, professor of Psychology and the course’s instructor, felt it was extremely desirable to give his 400 students “more than simply a lecture.” The 15 recitation sections will strive to clarify and enhance materials covered in class and in the text, review before tests and introduce new materials not covered in the lectures. The recitations will also allow the students to discuss personalized a in topics arrangement, Steve explained Weinberg, coordinator of the teaching assistants. Additionally, films and guest lecturers will add another dimension to the course. , — - Striving for uniformity “In general, I am very satisfied with the teaching assistants,” Mr. Weinberg said. However, there have-been a few problems because different instructors tend to differ in their amount of preparation fluency the course in material. Mr. Weinberg indicated he was keeping tabs on each section to make them as uniform as possible. ? and Teaching assistants were selected on the basis of their own in performance the course. However, both Mr. Weinberg and Dr. Solkoff feel this procedure is insufficient. In the future, a series of interviews will be used to screen qualified applicants. In addition, the number of assistants will be reduced to ten, to enable them to work more closely with each other. Because it is difficult to measure the success of the program in the middle of the year, an evaluation questionnaire will be distributed at the end of the course. Approximately half the has been consistently class attending the recitation, and the number of top grades has drastically increased since last semester. Some students commented that they found the sessions very helpful and informative, interesting, while others said they were a waste of time. A few found the text and Dr. Solkoff’s lectures so clear they just didn’t feel the need to attend the recitation. ALBANY. N Y. (UPI) The Knickerbocker News-Union Star, saying “the first tell-tale signs are emerging.” reported Thursday that Governor Rockefeller has decided to resign and is expected to announce his decision by mid-December. The newspaper said the timing of the announcement would permit the reins of state government to be turned over to Lt. Gov. Malcolm Wilson prior to the start of the 1974 legislative session in January. - Resignation as the state’s thief executive would allow Rockefeller to begin a nationwide search for delegate support for the Republican presidential nomination in 1976, the paper said. The newspaper cited reports that state police investigators are checking out the background of individuals considered likely prospects for a new Wilson administration.

The talks dissolved Friday after only an hour of consultation when the two sides failed to reach agreement on the crucial issue of the disengagement of troops. Even as the talks were in progress, machine gun and mortar fire was exchanged two miles up the road. The firing, which was described by observers as heavy, lasted approximately thirty minutes. United Nations observers reported that the Egyptian troops opened fire with machine guns and the Israeli positions responded with mortars. The gunfire was clearly visible from the tent where Israeli General Aharon Yarive and Egyptian Major General Mohammed Gamasy were conducting their talks. Nothing new The two men were unable to reach an accord on the pullback of Israeli troops. The Arabs demanded unconditional withdrawal to the pre-1967 lines while the Israelis maintained their earlier emphasis on the disengagement of troops in the Sinai. Neither side was able to come up with a new proposal, and no date was set for further military discussions. Despite the breakdown in negotiations and the new outbursts of fighting, officials in Washington expressed confidence that the scheduled Mideast peace talks would get under way in Geneva in mid December as planned. —Senear Black experience Digesting‘Coin’ A Buffalo’ by Stephen Aminoff Spectrum Theater Critic Ed Smith, director of this weekend’s Harriman Theater offering Coin' A Buffalo hits it right on the head when he advises: “Do not try to digest (the black experience you are about to see).

The audience is treated to some sweet sounds from a combo called the Zimbabwe National Rhythm Troupe. They play the jazz range from the flowing sounds of the early 60 ’s to today’s more chaotic music. Set and costume designer Jo McGlone filled her dual function handsomely.

The only major suggestionwhich was rejected by the public was “to put higher taxes on gasoline, so that people will use less gas in their automobiles,” opposed by a decisive 78-17 percent margin. In a special Harris Survey just before the President spelled out his energy program on national T.V. a cross section of 1,459 households interviewed in person between November 12 and 15 reacted this way to specific energy shortage problems and solutions: By 77-19 percent, a sizable majority favored lowering the speed limit on the nation’s highways to 50 miles per hour. By 73-23 percent, almost three in every four people were willing to have the temperature in their places of work lowered by as much as 10 degrees and 6 degrees in their homes. By 51 -42 percent, the people support the proposition of “prohibiting the use of outdoor advertising lights,” a more stringent rule than the one which will now be in effect. By 74-19 percent, the people are prepared to “establish daylight — — - — — - saving time across the country on a year-round basis.” By 55-24 percent, the people support the use of oil from Naval - reserves. The to key public unwillingness to sec gasoline prices rise as a means of cutting consumption is that the public is willing to undergo cutbacks in its use of gopnlinp but is patently exposed to measures which use hikes as a way to control usage. Basically, this means that ultimate rationing of gasoline and fuel oil will go down better with the American people than will any system of cutting demand by manipulating the price. The reasoning of the public is that raising the price would help the rich and penalize the poor, and -that naything which adds to the cost of living is hard to stomach in these times. The results also point up an important and significant insight about the American people. Many government people have assumed that with the absence of a wartime situation, the public would be in no mood to make sacrifices, Yet what the Harris Survey has found points precisely in the opposite direction: the themselves are fully people prepared to make the sacrifices necessary to get the country through the energy crisis and expect to be called upon by its national leadership to show restraint and even hurt some.

Entitled Management 100, the course is designed to provide an introduction to the School of prospective for Management majors and serve as an elective for students not planning to major in Management. The course will also acquaint students with the role of in contemporary management society. “There are so many students who don’t understand management, so this course will give them some idea,” emphasized Sanford Lotter, assistant Dean of the School of Management. Obscure areas students view Many management only in terms of administration, Mr. business Letter said. He cited the lesser known studies of hospital and arts management, as two areas that should receive more attention. The course will also cover techniques of management as well analysis as a contemporary through the use of literature, periodicals and films. Also planned are a format of lectures, sections and discussion non-lecture activities like field trips, roundtables and guest speakers. A new textbook, the Wall Street Journal, and the films Executive Suite and How to Succeed in Business without Really Trying, will make up part of the course. Management 100 will be taught by Lee Preston, Franklin Acito, and other faculty from the School of Management. Commmenting on the course preparations and teachers, Mr. Lotter said; “We’ve really committed some high powered resources to this course.” The course was conceived in September through a proposal to School of Management Dean Richard G. Brandenburg from Professors Bhal Bhatt and Dr. Preston. Their proposal echoed the feelings of many others that an introductory management course at the freshman/sophomore level was needed.

Only thirty minutes after the first people were let into the Fillmore Room, the paper plates were gone and hungry late arrivals wandered about looking for foods that could be eaten with the fingers. The food didn’t last much longer than the plates. Soon after the plates ran out, the only items left were the Raita, a very spicy Pakistani dressing for beef kebab, and the judiciously-parceled Italian ziti and Brazilian feijofda-a thick, strong, black dish spooned out over laranjas, a Brazilian rice. Delicacies The International Food Tasting Festival was sponsored by the Student Association (SA) office of International Affairs and the International clubs. SA International Affairs Coordinator Dave Sancho said it was decided to make the food-tasting into a single event, rather than continue the former practice of including it with individual international club activities. The festival represented over one dozen countries. Although the Middle East is in turmoil, Israel and the Arab nations managed to work in a meat and peaceful co-existence. The Arab fteer went quickly, as did everything the vegetable pie Israeli students served. Since everyone likes Oriental food, the Chinese and Japanese foods were gobbled up. And nothing was left of the Vietnamese Goi Ga and Cha Gio. Whatever the Iranian students served was immediately consigned to history as everything from food to signs to servers disappeared quickly. — — Gobbled up Whatever Greek baclava is will aslo remain a secret, because none was left after the first few minutes.

Since the undergraduate and graduate who must be "extremely qualified" to be selected would not be able to vote, they would assume the role of observers. While they would presumably offer vocal input, their non-voting status will not interfere with peer review as the sole determinant of tenure decisions (as mandated by con tract). While it is true that students should seek greater input at the more important departmental level, through letter-writing and SCATE forms, there is no reason why students should be denied a voice at high levels as well. Faculty members who seem somewhat paranoid about these two students should remember they will be non-voting observers. If tenure considerations are really above-board procedures where "deals" and personal manipulations have no place, there is nothing to fear from two student observers. But if the Fac-Sen executive committee proves itself close-minded protectionists by rejecting the proposal Wednesday, students and the University community can draw their own conclusions. ■iJr — — — iMetJ l HAP K\PS ALL I m)TBP TO 96 MS AL0U6. , umu i ten m</ MF5 TO 96 FR66.

Senator Buckley, who seems more concerned with protecting the unborn than the genuinely living, has ignored my letter, but Senator Javits responded very sensibly (to say the least). I am sure that Senator Javits would not mind if you were to print his letter along with this one. John Corcoran Philosophy Dept. The following is Senator Javits’ reply Dear Mr. Corcoran Thank you for your recent communication concerning political prisoners in foreign nations and United States-assisted public safety programs. I understand and appreciate the deep concern that has prompted you to write. An amendment was proposed to the Foreign Assistance Authorization bill which 1 supported that would have barred the use of any United States funds for training and equipping the internal security forces of any foreign government, but it was — - rejected. Political prisoners, and United States assistance to foreign policy forces are matters of deepest concern to me. In the Foreign Relations Committee, of which I am a member, I supported Section 2702(b) of the Foreign Military Sales and Assistance Act (S.1443) to prohibit the use of any funds for “any police training or related program for a foreign country.” The Senate passed the bill containing this prohibition on June 26 by a vote of 50-42, and it has been sent to a House-Senate Conference Committee to resolve differences between the House and Senate versions of this legislation. I co-sponsored an amendment to the Foreign Aid bill stating the sense of the Congress that the President should deny Chile assistance until he finds that that regime is protecting the human rights and civil liberties of all Chileans. This amendment was adopted by the Senate on October 2. I also supported an amendment to the Foreign Aid bill, declaring it to be Congressional policy to bar funds that would assist in maintaining the present status of Portuguese colonies in Africa. I have made repeated inquiries and representations to the State Department and to South Vietnamese officials regarding political prisoners in South Vietnam. You may be sure that I will continue to do all 1 can on behalf of the civil liberties and human rights of politically oppressed persons everywhere in the world. Thank you for taking the time to write and give me your views. Jacob K. Javits, U.S.S. �Student participation and great flexibility urged in the colleges Editor’s note; The following article, detailing former Colleges Director Konrad vonMoltke’s report to an educational planning conference in Paris last January, is presented amidst the on-going evaluation of the Colleges by the Faculty-Senate Colleges Committee. The Colleges Committee is currently grappling with many of the es dealt with by Dr. vonMoltke especially Those of iss faculty involvement, budgetary matters, administration control and participatory planning. - by Gary Cohn Contributing Editor “Participatory planning is neither an alternative nor a separate form of planning. It is a necessary element in any rational planning for large, complex systems of education.” That assessment of higher education was made by Konrad vonMoltke at an educational planning conference in Paris last January. Dr. vonMoltke headed the Colleges from fall 1970 until spring 1972, when he resigned. Participatory planning, according to Dr. vonMoltke, “restricts itself to developing a procedure by which initially undetermined outcomes may be achieved.” It enables those individuals lowest in the hierarchial ranking to be both autonomous and contribute to policy. Free schools were cited by Dr. vonMoltke as a basic example of participatory planning. In the open classroom atmosphere, students are allowed to “determine their individual syllabi on a day-to-day basis cooperatively with their teachers.” Co-opting Dr. vonMoltke contrasted participatory planning with “prefigurative planning,” which “assumes that potential objectors can be co-opted into acquiescence with the planning process.” For instance, “parent-teacher and organizations” “most schemes for student participation in school or university governance” fall into this category, he explained. The largest of the experiments in participatory planning is the Collegiate System at the State University of Buffalo, Dr. vonMoltke noted. Other examples include Empire State .College, Evergreen State College and the School of Education at the University of Massachusetts. Describing the original formation of the Colleges, Dr. vonMoltke stated: “Instead of creating academic units with specific plans and procedures, the Faculty-Senate of AB the, ujfjprecedeflted step of defining a procedure, for the establishment, operation and disestablishment of short-term academic units on the sole initiative of groups of faculty and students.” SU^ Five characteristics By delegat ng “substantial planning authority” to College participants, the University created a framework for participatory planning within the University structure, Dr. vonMoltke explained. However, because the University did not delegate any authority regarding the “definition and accreditation of degree programs,” students could take only elective' credits through the Colleges. Within two years of its-inception, there were 16 individual colleges with an enrollment of about 3500 students each semester. Various colleges were added, the College phased out or changing needs. modified in an attempt to keep pace with Five characteristics were cited by Dr. vonMoltke as “typical elements in the Colleges;” (1) lack of predetermination; (2) dependence on high levels of commitment; (3) rapid change and great flexibility; (4) lack of identification with any traditional department or. discipline; (5) willingness to experiment. Demonstrators ‘major factor’ Dr. vonMoltke paid he was surprised at the willingness of the Faculty-Senate to constitute the kind of open-ended experiment which the Colleges represented. Student demonstrations on campus when the issue was before the Faculty-Senate was a “major factor” in the Senate’s ratification of the Colleges, contended Dr. vonMoltke. The Collegiate Prospectus (by-laws) passed by the Faculty-Senate “created a significant realm of freedom of planning and action for any group of students, faculty or staff, rather than specifically authorized delegates of the student body or faculty or officers of the University.” However, a “number of implicit institutional controls” imposed by the Administration became focal points of controversy in the development of the Colleges. Catch-all phrases For instance, the Faculty-Senate had included the phrase “within SUNY policies” in detailing operating procedures for the Colleges. According to Dr. vonMoltke, the Administration occasionally used this phrase as a “catch-all” under which “the authority of the president of SUNYAB could at any time be reasserted.” Such clauses were used to limit experimentation, said Dr. vonMoltke, “when attempts were made to introduce self-evaluative procedures for individual students, or in the single instance where the Assembly moved to authorize the establishment of a College unit the Administration considered insupportable.” Budgets were a further point of contention between the Colleges and the Administration. The Colleges were “continually underfunded,” the former Collegiate director maintained. The Administration threatened to cut off funds from individual units at various times, he added. ' Split develops The Colleges’ success in “preventing any attempt to a means of exerting systematic external program control” was the “critical point” in the budgetary disputes with the Administration, Dr. vonMoltke said. Faculty involvement in the Colleges created a fundamental conflict between the Colleges and regular use the budget as academic departments, Dr. vonMoltke explained: “By transferring part of their teaching activities to College units, the faculty members were effectively criticizing the ability of departments to provide them with optimal teaching environments.” ' A split developed, and several departments either “demanded reimburseme t of faculty effort dr refused to count faculty work in the Colleges as part of their regular teaching load,” added Dr. vonMoltke. These observations are interesting since recent criticisms have focused on the lack of faculty support for the Colleges, while others maintain the Colleges were never meant to be Konrad von Moltke For instance, George Hochfield, chairman-elect of the Faculty-Senate, has recommended that each College be required to have at least five faculty members and a faculty master. Many College observers believe that this would eliminate the more innovative programs offered bv “faculty-dominated.” the Colleges. of Mathematical Sciences I STEAK SPECIAL : (from ; MAS Spring Semester 1974 TUESDAY § 4:30-8:30 PM) Don’t get excited ■ sports fans!

He described the closings as a consolidationand said some, but not all, of the bases are in Western Europe. - NATIONAL Nixon’s secretary coached Rose Mary Woods’ lawyer, Charles Rhyire, says she was rehearsed for “some hours” by White House lawyers before testifying about missing Watergate tapes. The charge by Mr. Rhyne in Judge Sirica’s court on Thursday contained a clear suggestion that President Nixon’s private secretary thinks she may not be totally responsible for her testimony. It had all the earmarks of a new defense line by Miss Woods, who appeared to be cutting at least some of her White House moorings in an effort to justify her own role in handling the controversial tapes. When reporters asked Mr. Rhyne if Miss Woods was in trouble, he would only smile and say; “If you guys can’t figure it out, you’re dumber than I thought you were.” CIA employs journalists WASHINGTON (UPI) More than 40 American journalists working abroad are on the Central Intelligence Agency’s payroll, some of them acting as full-time agents, the Washington Star-News said Friday. Citing an unidentified “authoritative source,’’ the - newspaper said the names of about 40 full-time reporters, free4ance journalists and trade publication correspondents were listed in the agency’s files after a review ordered by Director William E. Colby two months ago. Colby was said to have ordered a cutback in CIA-foreign correspondent relationships after getting a report on the extent of the situation. The Star-News said about five full-time staff correspondents representing general circulation organizations, who had served as CIA undercover contacts and were paid on a contractual basis, were being phased out.

Debate over prof giving all A’s by Guy Lewit Spectrum Staff Writer Binghamton math professor who guaranteed A’s to all of his 563 students who attended class regularly has become immersed in a controversy over academic A standards. David Klamer, who teachs a lower-level mathematics class at the State University at Binghamton, decided to give his entire class a uniform grade of A to alleviate the pressure-filled competitive atmosphere. He originally wanted to grade the class on a pass/no credit system. However, he did not present this proposal to the administration in time for registration, and students signed up for normal grading options. The students were subsequently unwilling to change their grading option to pass/no credit, Mr. Klamer explained. Each student should extract from the course what is relevant for him and not feel compelled to memorize insignificant facts for the sake of a good mark, the math professor maintained. “How do you evaluate what students learn? You cannot measure it objectively,” said Mr. Klamer. He feels classes need to go through a series of changes, and mentioned he was “sort of groping around” for the proper way to teach math. Although Mr. Klarner said he was sensitive to students’ needs, demands and capabilities, some students said the course turned out to be farcical. While recognizing its potential worth, they cited several obstacles which blocked its success. Their major complaint was that Mr. Klarner moved too quickly from topic to topic. “He assumes too much,” explained one student. Mr. Klamer directs himself toward people with extensive training in math, and doesn’t take into account the many students who have no math training past the high school level, the student added. Consequently, many have become bored and frustrated because they cannot grasp the principles he is trying to get across. While his ideas are interesting, complained another student, Mr. Klamer was unable to mesh any of them together into a single concept. Students also criticized the large size of the class, and found the noise in the room distracting, believing it affected the professor’s ability to teach. During one class, Mr. Klarner even walked out to protest the noise. All those interviewed agreed that Mr. Klarper was sincere, interested in his work and able to effectively teach at least one or two concepts from his lectures, although not everyone attended lectures regularly. While most students admitted his “idealistic” grading system was noteworthy, the consensus was that it was unworkable. They admitted, however, that Pleads naivete Mr. Klarner said he is becoming increasingly aware of students’ problems, after initially receiving minimal feedback from the students and misinterpreting that which he did receive. He now intends to slow down his teaching pace in accordance with the students’ desires and cover only one main idea a day. Offended that the course has been termed “trivial” and “boring” by some, he stated: “Anyone who takes it seriously will find it damned hard.” When questioned why he did not take into account how many students would take the course for a free A only, he pleaded naivete. Having realized his mistake in assuming students would enroll out of pure interest, Mr. Klarner has now instituted an attendance rule. Every student must attend three out of four classes per week. Despite the free A, he insisted his students still gain some mathematical insights from his lectures: “Just come and listen,” he said, “and get what you can.” union Bonn UUAB & CONFERENCE THEATRE Dec. 6 & 7th WPHD RADIO Don Luce to speak present Don Luce, director of the Indochina Mobile Education Project and a member of the first delegation of Americans officially welcomed to Provisional Revolutionary Government areas of South Vietnam, will speak at a Vietnamese Dinner today at 6:30 at the Kenmore Presbyterian Church, Delaware Ave. and Hazeltine.

We just Jim Randall, who was impressive couldn’t get started in the first in his short stint on Saturday. - Sports Editor The hockey Bulls tuned for a series against Ohio State this weekend by defeating Division II foes RIT and Brockport last weekend at Twin Rinks. Buffalo whitewashed the Tigers 5-0 Friday night and annihilated Brockport 13-1 on Saturday. Rochester Tech goaltender Marty Reasoner kept the Bulls from running up a huge margin Friday night as he stopped 40 of 44 shots before leaving the game late in the third period. The Bulls failed to score in the first period despite testing Reasoner 20 times. Eagle goaltenders Steve Flanders and Ron Glaslow were bombarded with 52 shots Saturday night as Buffalo tied a record with nine goals in the second period. Flanders and Glaslow would have been hard pressed to guard a cage half the size of a regulation net as the Brockport defense did an excellent job of avoiding the puck. The Bulls scored with their first four shots in the second period before Glaslow was credited with a save. Bulls hungrier “I think that the difference was the fact that they were going in tonight and they weren’t going in last night,” observed Bull coach Ed Wright. “In addition, I thought that we played a hungrier type of game around their net tonight. Another difference was the caliber of goaltenders. Reasoner is a real good goaltender," Wright added. The Bull forwards were paced by captain John Stranges’ line against RIT and Brockport as Stranges’ trio combined for eight goals in the weekend series. Right wing Mike Klym scored in support of Tom Farkas’ shutout goaltending against the Tigers, while Stranges, who shares the team lead in goals with Klym (eight) tallied a three-goal hat trick against Brockport. Left wing Rick Wolstenholme also scored twice on Saturday. Andre Poirier also tallied three times against the Eagles. Dixon, Perry ejected Buffalo lost right wing Mike Dixon and defenseman Mike Perry for Friday night’s opener against Ohio State. Dixon was ejected from Sarurday night’s contest when he engaged in a second-period fight with Eagle defenseman Charles Wrobleski, Perry followed Dixon to the showers when he was tossed out late in the third period for swinging his stick at Brockport’s Mike McCadam. Game misconduct penalties in college hockey cany an additional one-game suspension. “I didn’t try to hurt the kid,” reflected Perry. “I was frustrated. Where I come from, they drop their sticks and they drop their gloves, and no one gets hurt. Here, you can’t fight, and he swung his stick at my head,” Perry added. Grapplers pin dmjim aiutdrangular meet * s«-T . Buffalo wrestling coach Ed Michael may well be kicking himself for not recruiting talent from Canandaigua High School until last year. Ron Langdon and Bruce Hadsell, both graduates of that rural high school and state high school champs, had key wins in Buffalo’s 28-9" victory over Maryland here Saturday afternoon. Maryland The match sweep a of the completed quadrangular meet for the Bulls, who also beat Bowling Green 24-15 and Oneonta 39-3. ‘This team may have been born here today,” said Michael during the later stages of the Maryland match. If the victory over the Terrapins was a birth, then Langdon’s upset win over Steve Nickolus at 118 lbs. was its conception. Langdon was filling in for Mack Sams, who in his first experienced muscle match, cramps and exhaustion as a result of a recent illness and rapid weight loss. was against a *. with the real turning coining after Langdon escaped getting pinned. Nickolus used an illegal “chicken wing” and was penalized one point. This took Langdon out of the precarious position. It was a different match after that. In the top position in the final period with the crowd cheering applauding and in unison, Langdon twice rolled Nickolus over for near falls and pulled out a 5-2 decision. The upset seemed to arouse the Bull squad. ‘This is a whole new team,” said Co-captain Bill Jacoutot. “These kids have lifted us right up.” Jacoutot and Hadsell each posted three wins for the day. Hadsell had two pins, major factors in the Bowling Green and Maryland wins. His victory over Maryland’s Joe Holland brought loud criticism from Terrapin coach Sully Krouse. The coach thought the pin came after time had run out in the second period. “Its nice to have good relations with the ref,” said Krouse. Michael later admitted the call was questionable. Langdon comes through Langdon underdog point nearly t .jm.# whizzer, decided Nickolus.

No. 38 Dougla s attacks unchecked growth of corporate control by Clem Cohicci Spectrum Staff Writer The longest-serving justice in the history of the Supreme Court, William 0. Douglas, ticlced off a detailed list of ‘Toints of Rebellion” from corporate influence in government to US. before policy in Latin America a near-capacity crowd in Clark Hall Tuesday evening. The 14th Amendment to the Constitution, originally designed to protect freed blacks, has been twisted to protect corporations from governmental regulation, said the controversial 77 year-old associate Justice. Heavily-financed corporate lobbies have turned the government into a government “of the corporations, by the corporations and for the corporations,” Mr. Douglas said. While he doesn’t think corporate influence works in a “venal or corrupt way,” he added, Federal advisory commissions have traditionally been dominated by industrialists and commercial leaders. Corporate interests work behind the scenes by “identifying the public interest with corporate prosperity,” Mr. Douglas said. He tolfl the crowd he “would rather trust the common sense of the people in this room, not the ‘experts’ who are conditioned by agencies and corporations.” The effect of corporate control has been particularly harmful to the environment. Having grown up in the unspoiled wilderness of the Pacific Northwest, Justice Douglas has long been active in conservation and environmental protection.; -r*' - — Unsolved problems The rapid spread of nuclear power facilities must be stopped, the Justice said. Citing examples of the unsolved problem of radioactive waste disposal, Mr. Douglas said the risks of nuclear power development far outweigh the potential benefits. The Supreme Court member laid the blame for the current energy crisis on the doorstep of the corporation heads on Federal advisory bodies, who over the years have allocated only 1% of all research and development money in the energy field to developing alternative sources of power. The energy crisis is “self-inflicted,” Justice Douglas explained. Not only have “tax concessions financed the destruction of the environment,” he explained, but the current oil shortage is ‘‘the old trick of monopoly keep the supply low and prices high. Claiming that the 25 leading oil companies also own most of the coal, natural gas and uranium in America, he said the “fuel monopoly” has discouraged the development of solar power and hydrogen fusion energy two promising energy sources that cannot be monopolized. The “fuel monopoly” has dictated policy by contributing to both political parties and “brainwashing the public” through the media. Many Federal projects injurious to the environment have a need to keep such resuUed_fj bodies as the Army Corps of Engineers employed, he added. - — Secrecy deplored In the spirit of Watergate and the secret bombing of Cambodia, Mr. Douglas attacked secrecy in government. When he was with the Securities Exchange Commission, he recalled, he had a “secret’s stamp, but he never used it. He said a secret stamp was “a good way to cover your tracks for 10 or 15 years,’’ to “keep the bureaucrats ahead of the hound dogs.” Elaborate precautions were taken during the Pentagon Papers controversy, Mr. Douglas explained, to make sure no one would see the contents of the papers other than the Justices of the Supreme Court. Though the government insisted the information in the papers had to be kept secret for the sake of “national security,” Mr. Douglas said: “I read all that stuff and there wasn’t anything in there I didn’t already know.” secret Right to know Indiscriminate use of the secret classification power “dilutes the right of the people to know,” the Justice said. But not only does the government prevent the people from learning what it is doing, it insists on learning what they are doing. Mr. Douglas revealed that when he and his wife wish to discuss something especially private, they go for a walk, the implication was that in our Watergate society, they were afraid to have an intimate discussion in their own home. The practice of searching mail and wastebaskets was widespread, Mr. Douglas said, so he tries “to put something in every once in awhile to keep these guys going.” Turning to the field of international affairs, Mr. Douglas criticized American policy in the tertfTiemisphere. TJJS. policy has tended to support poverty and dictatorships in Latin America, he said. The only answer is massive economic development and an end to American hostility toward reform and revolutionary movements in Latin America. Mr. Douglas said his friend, the late South Vietnam President Diem, was murdered by the CIA at a cost of $24 million because he opposed the introduction of American forces into his country. The liberal Justice also spoke of a secret “CIA-financed war in Laos,” some tactics of which “apparently spilled over onto the domestic scene.” — — Mr. Douglas called the recent avoided certain topics, assertions of unlimited presumably because he might have Presidential war powers the to rule on such matters in future greatest danger to freedom today.

While it will initially be used as a study hall, the Diefendorf Annex library will eventually aid students in learning research methods and provide undergraduates with additional copies of important books. Sixteen thousand volumes, mostly in the humanities and social sciences, will be housed in the new library. The bulk of these books are gifts to the University and will be available for circulation when classes resume in January 1974. Additionally, the 3S00 undergraduate volumes now on reserve at Harriman Library will be moved to Diefendorf Annex. “We hope to make it easier for students to leant about libraries and to learn research methods that will aid them when researching in a more complex system,” said Yoram Szekely, head of the new venture. The library will contain a “two-track” system for student input, Dr. Szekely indicated. Besides having a bulletin board for questions and suggestions, there will be printed request slips for specific' books at the circulation desk. Books will be available on a two-week renewal basis. The purpose of the short loan period, explained Dr. Szezcly, is to curtail the common practice of borrowing books that are needed for only a short time, but kept for the entire semester. Faculty as well as students will be subject to these borrowing regulations. This system should make more books availably for browsing. Staffing the library will be Dr. Szekely, five professional librarians, four civil servants and several student assistants. There will also be a photo copier available for use. The Amherst Campus will eventually have an undergraduate library to share one of the two expected major facilities, Dr.Szekely indicated. Dr. Szekely needs volunteers for an undergraduate advisory committee for the library to meet regularly to discuss problems and policies. All interested students should call 831-3414 or 831-3416. The schedule from Monday until December 22 is as follows: Monday Thursday 8 a.m. 2 aan. 8 a.m. midnight Friday 9 a.m. midnight Saturday 2 p.m. 2 a.m. Sunday Summing up his thoughts about the new undergraduate library, Dr. Szekely said: “When I first came here, there was nothing. Now we have a library.” - - - - — �Williams’ controversial court Shots at Stony Brook case ends with his acquUm -A sniper fired seven bullets the ground floor dorm room of an Irving College resident at the State University at Stony Brook last week. No one was hurt in the incident. David Lever, a 24-year-old mathematics graduate student was in bed at 3:30 a.m. when he was awakened by the sound of a bullet piercing his window. He heard two more shots shortly after. Mr. Lever quickly crawled out of his room and called Campus Security. Thirty-five minutes later, Suffolk County Police arrived on campus. During this time, the gunmen apparently fled. into Police said they were studying the case and had no other information except that given them by Mr. Lever and other residents of the ball. Mr. Lever had no idea why anyone would want to shoot him and said the gunman who fired was crazy “some probably person.” Only five bullets were recovered by the police. Three entered the room through the window, one hit the aluminum screen framing, and, one hit the brick below the window. Police suspect that .38 calibre guns were used, but the bullets must undergo laboratory tests to determine the type of gun from which they were fired. Legal Dope by James Roth Clark Gym, and lecadedseeinghim atCityCowl on Black Student Union President Larry Williams was acquitted in Buffalo City Court Tuesday on charges of harassment and resisting arrest. The incident began on October 25, when Mr. Williams was stopped two Modes from campus on a routine license check by Campus Security officers. According to Mr. Williams, the arresting officer, Gary Kalisz, accused him of using verbally abusive language during the search. After showing the officer his license, registration and insurance card, Mr. Williams maintained, he was grabbed by the Security man, “who tried to flip me.” He was then handcuffed and taken to Precinct 16, where he was booked. During Tuesday’s trial, the District Attorney’s office was admonished by the judge for introducing improper testimony which related to an incident Mr. Williams was involved in as a minor. One observer noted that these records were supposed to be in a closed file, and there was uncertainty as to how much information was obtained by the prosecutor. Referring to Campus Security, Mr. Williams commented; “This has been one of numerous attempts where they tried to discredit me through student and city courts. I feel this incident was a clear case of harassment.” Home. Mi.

(The provisions of the laws in N.Y.S. governing internships have been tightened this year, despite the recognition across the nation of the inadequacy of the legal system’s capacity to meet the widespread trend towards ‘‘law’ and order.”). Now iiftfcew York State, one must attend “a duly approved law school as a matriculated student for at least one year.” :Fhen, if you determine that law school'is not fulfilling your educational needs or is inconsistent with one or all of your principles, social or political, you can “pull-up stakes.” Often the decision is necessitated by. econoinics;JaW school is very costly and financial aide is scarce. At that time, when you have made such a decision, check out the provisions of section 53 of the Judiciary Law. If you decide that clerkship is the route for you, the next step is to find a firm that will employ you. You must be employed in a law office, under the direction of an attorney, for a continuous three-year period during regular business hours. At a glance, this seems very rigid, but in practice it can be rather flexible. You would have to file a simple, one-page document, known as a certificate of commencement, with the Court of Appeals and you are certified for clerking. If at any time the firm that you are employed by folds, you simply follow the same procedure with your next employer. Depending, upon the firm you are employed by, as a clerk, you can do anything short of representing someone in court or dispensing legal advice. The economic benefits of this program are rather obvious, but more importantly, clerking permits the opportunity to witness the legal process, first-hand. Your involvement in the system, therefore, provides an enriching component to your classroom knowledge. This dimension of realism is invaluable to one lost amongst the endless volumes of “legalese.” The extra year put into .the clerkship, foqr years as opposed to three years of law school, is compensated'by the aforementioned factors, mainly, remuneration and actual participation. The “clerkship” route does require strong discipline to satisfactorily prepare for the Bar Exam that must be passed before you can be licensed to practice law. Past applicants to the Bar that have clerked with no law school experience (no longer possible under the new law), have sought other people in similar positions and have formed study (groups, led by a willing attorney, or have audited law school classes when possible, and have done a great deal of cramming as preparation prioir to taking the Bar Exam. Careful thought should be exercised before pursuing the clerkship route. It is important to understand how you intend to utilize, in a thorough and socially meaningful way, the skills you will acquire as an attorney. If you would like to check the Judiciary Law or to discuss the problems touched upon in this brief discussion, stop by the Student Legal Aid Clinic, Room 340 Norton Hall, during the regular business hours. - ‘ » • Impeachment in the air The University chapter of the Niagara Frontier fltiiina fra fe kapddnaM of President Nixon is gathering support.

Soybeans High in nutrition and profit - by Jon Burgess MRNCIONE FAN CHUCH MANGIONE Quartet with guest Esther Satterfield originally scheduled for Sat. Dec. 1st has been ESCHEDULED FOR JRN. I 4 soybean preparation. According to Institution ss ’ Volume Feeding Management Magazine companies and individuals have had great difficulty in making other flavors “stick” to it, and subsequently soybean protein must be literally drowned in gravy or bouillon; extra spices and seasonings must also be used. Long cooking times are not recommended because any flavor the manufacturer managed to “make stick” will be dissolved. Overcooking will make a soy protein product so tough and dried out that it simply will not be edible. Nutritionists have found that a mixture of 70% ground meat and 30% hydrated soybean concentrate can yWdva hamburger that tastes nearly normal. Two years: ago die Department of Agriculture approved the usp of soybean meal in this ratio for school-lunch programs, and it projects that by 1980, vegetable proteins will replace 20% of processed meats and 8% of total red meat sold in the United by Ivy Palmer Spectrum Staff Writer , than ten years ago, many farmers considered the soybean merely a cover crop, to be planted and then plowed under to restore the soil Today, however, soybeans are in great demand both at home and abroad, and prices have soared from $2.25 a bushel to as high as $12 a bushel during periods of greatest demand. American farmers grow 85% of the world’s supply of soybeans. Soybeans are in demand primarily for cattle, hog and poultry feed, because they are richer in protein than any other feed sold at a comparable price. Herds of these animals have increased tremendously throughout the world in the last five years, especially in the United States, Australia and the Soviet Union. Less ■ States. High protein The soybean originated over 4000 years ago in China and the Chinese still devour vast quantities of soybean curd, which they call “meat without bones.” Soybeans are remarkably high m protein (soybean meal is 44% protein) and a sixty-pound bushel yields about eleven pounds of oil and 47 pounds of meal, with only two pounds lost in the processing. Most of the oil goes into cooking oil, margarine and shortenings, while the soybean meal is fed almost exclusively to livestock and poultry. However, the soybean is slowly but surely finding its way into many human diet* as well. Nutritionists are looking to it as an answer to the worlds protein needs. They say a soybean has twice the protein content of cheese and of red meat, and ten times f thdt df milk. < % \ \ ’ V ; V >; Nutritionists and soybean processors ftv the United States have been experimenting to disguise the soybean’s bland and somewhat “nutty” flavor, in order to make it more palatable to human beings, They claim they are able, with a little imagination on the diner’s part, to change soybean concentrates into t>acon, cheese, chicken, sherbet end cake,, tp napie just a few../, There are a lot of problems though,, with \ JBL 1 before.” - Mrs. Derme would like to see more people develop a taste for soybeans. “Vegetarians should demand them,” she said. “Unfortunately, people with that kind of taste ate usually not qry board contracts-.” J , , INFINITY 1 Pr. 2000A Regular SALE 450.00 640XX) 550.00 1 Pr.

Experts are at a lost to explain what the reddish, hair-like substance is. One student official exclaimed: "I can't believe it, I just can't believe it" One investigator asked what could have produced this unusual material said: "It could be an Irish tetter."

In a recent controversy, SUCC President Robert Jones failed in his attempt to prevent Cortland Gay Services (CCS) from using campus facilities for their meetings. Allowing such use could “place me in an untenable position,” explained Dr. Jones. He based his position on New York State law which prohibits “consensual sodomy,” defined as “sexual contact between persons not married to each other consisting of contact between penis and anus; mouth and penis; and mouth and vulva.” Another law holds State University of New York (SUNY) Presidents accountable for the misuse of State funds on their campuses. Position reversed Dr. Jones reversed his position on November 5 after receiving a legal opinion from the SUNY Counsel’s office advising him to allow Cortland Gay Services to use the desired facilities. The purpose of CGS is “to increase knowledge and understanding at Cortland College,’’ admitted President Jones. “It allows open membership to all students, faculty and staff regardless of sex and sexual orientation.” However, his original decision would only have allowed CGS “freedom of speech and assembly.” The only distinction was between “permission and assignment,” explained Dr. Jones in refusing to allow the use of campus rooms to the group while permitting them the right to assemble and distribute literature. Dr. Jones defended his original stance by drawing an analogy between a situation where he would not stop a person from shooting someone in his office and one in which he would order someone to fire the gun. In the first instance there would be no legal responsibility, while in the second, he would be held legally accountable. He felt he would be held liable if he took an active part in allowing CGS to use campus facilities. Still opposed Claims that Dr. Jones has adopted his position in response to three pending lawsuits were denied by Student Senate President Larry Summers: “Dr. Jones was opposed to Gay Lib on campus even after the issue became moot [after the receipt of the legal opinion] However, a lawsuit to prohibit the use of state facilities by Gay Liberation groups is being initiated by the State Taxpayers Association (STA). No representatives of that group could be contacted for comment. Spectrum Staff Writer A screening and vaccination program for rubella will be initiated on campus under the supervision of A1 Campagna, Health Care Division Director of Sub-Board I. Rubella, also known as German measles and the three-day measles, is a contagious disease that is very mfld in adults. However, if a pregnant woman contracts it during the first three months of pregnancy, she may have a spontaneous abortion or her child might be still bom or congenitally defective. The service, available free of charge to students, staff, faculty and their families, is the result of a new attitude towards providing campus health care. “Health care should be delivered rather than people coming to get it,” said Mr. Campagna. It is “foolish for people to take a chance especially when we offer this service for free,” he added. The program began with a general .pre-registration drive intended to give Sub-Board an idea of how much equipment will be needed for the actual tests. People who still want to register , A explained. It is estimated that 17 to 20 per cent of the adult population is succeptible to rubella. “There is no cure for it,** Mr. Campggna said. “Therefore, we must stress prevention.” Although rubella drives usually receive ah overwhelmingly female response, the contagious nature of die disease makes it just as important for men to be vaccinated as women. “It is important for the male to assume some of the responsibility for disease prevention,** said Mr. Campagna. He urges everyone to take advantage of this program to help save lives. HANDCRAFTED CAUSUM.AND ANTIQUE JEWBRir Before Dr. Jones reversed himself, the Cortland American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) had begun to investigate the case to determine if they would represent the group.

The tests will be sent to Buffalo Childrens Hospital for analysis.

Fttday, 30 November 1973 The Spectrum Page five . . �TPhrough the hooking Gla©B DITORIAL Self-inflicted crisis by Barry Kaplan After using it to combat his political troubles for over a year. President Nixon is employing his favorite weapon to obscure the avalanche of problems now rhetoric threatening to bury this nation. Only the man who speaks of peace in Vietnam, where sporadic war is now building toward full-scale mobilization, could describe the current energy crisis as temporary. Only this master of double-talk could promise "tough, strong action" and propose such half-hearted measures as closing gas stations on Sunday. The President has yet to take either the necessary immediate steps or initiate longer-term plans to develop alternative sources of energy. Even if there had been no Middle East war and no Arab oil embargo, there would still be an energy crisis; the diminishing world oil supplies and the rising industrial demand dictate a continuing squeeze. Why, then, didn't the Administration foresee this trend? The answer, as Supreme Court Justice William O. Douglas told a campus audience Tuesday, is that the energy crisis is "self-inflicted." Oil conglomerates, which also own the coal and gas companies, refuse to report on their supplies, maintaining a fuel sky-high. monopoly that has driven prices and profits energy and as solar Alternative fuel sources, such nation's would end this hydrogen fusion, both promising, big lobbies, corporate But exclusive dependence on oil. House the White in accomplices business and their willing have paid only lip-service to developing alternative fuel sources; far easier to ask the politically powerless consumer to turn down his thermostat this winter. Mr. Nixon has not suggested the sensible move of restoring daylight savings time on a year-round basis, although the House has commendably already approved this measure. The 101 million automobiles in America, most particularly the monstrous gasgulpers, are devouring our yet no one has even suggested that Detroit energy supply produce only small cars, or at least sensible be required to standard of miles-per-gallon of a reasonable machines with gasoline. who are Nor have the government's energy "experts” actually shills for corporate interests advocated widespread Federal support of urban mass transit systems, which can move more people to work on less fuel than the ridiculous one man-one automobile concept that has clogged our highways, polluted our air, and is now usurping our and diminishing oil supplies. And on the world scene this, to blame for with perhaps all the Western countries are the Atlantic allies, instead the brave exception of Holland of pooling their resources and formulating a joint response to the Arabs' blackmail, are stepping over each other trying to get favorable treatment from these international extortioners. Of course, the utter lack of leadership Mr. Nixon has displayed throughout this now<lramatized crisis should come as no surprise. As Watergate dominated the headlines last spring and summer, observers warned that the government was at a standstill. The shattering effects of that paralysis are now bearing fruit. The economy was headed into a 1974 but the President's bungling of the recession anyway energy situation, whether out of intentional allegiance to oil will profits, political distraction or sheer incompetence economic downward into a disastrous plunge the nation spiral of the kind not seen since the Second World War. And as we stagger down the road to economic impotence, Mr. Nixon is preoccupied with what he calls "full disclosure": nothing but a series of meaningless speeches in public appearances before friendly crowds. He is now criticizing new special prosecutor Leon Jaworski for refusing to aid in the cover-up of the mangled condition of the Watergate tapes. The fact that on the key June 20 tape, the 18 minutes "accidentally" erased by secretary Rose Mary Woods who previously said she was "not that stupid" as to just happened to be the only section of the erase the tape Watergate counter-attack strategies where 56-minute tape than laughable, predictable, or discussed is more were pathetic. a Instead, the systematic destruction of all the tapes is the gap here, a buzz there, hums and static throughout act of a desperate man, one who was forced to surrender tapes he knew he could never allow the public to hear. Those who are not too disgusted to take action might contact Paul Kade at 831-5507 to contribute to an ad urging Mr. Nixon's impeachment which will appear in the Courier Express. Those who are too bored by the ongoing political circus to act, however, will know who to thank for the long, cold winter ahead and the crippling recession that lurks behind it. - — — — — - - — — - — — — - — ftige six The Spectrum Friday, 30 November 1973 . . Ah, how the mighty have fallen! The European powers, once the masters of the world and colonial craven powers par excellence, have been reduced to The colonies. former feet of their beggars at the the Arab meet France to and of England inability challenge has shown the world that these former of world powers have “Muniched” themselves out 1973, year The of respectability. world the arena besides exposing a new Arab ability to meet important challenges, has been significant in of indicating a new bala ce of power; a balance resources energy with fought which is being power rather than nuclear weapons. History, as presented to unwilling students by dry texts, always seemed to be the story of the rise and fall of national powers. Rome rose and fell China s Spain became powerful and declined history reminds often that her power rose and fell so us of a yo-yo rather than some neat diagram. Britain’s star rose in the horizon along with France, and it has been these powers, along with their European neighbors, that have charted the waters of international power politics. In this century we have witnessed the revival of Russian power, and only recently realized that China again will soon be a major power in world politics. In this picture of rising and falling great powers, it has always been difficult for most contemporary observers to notice when a star was rising or when one was in the process of falling. Europe, with England, France and Germany, always seemed to strut upon the pages of history; threatening, blustering and posturing as their continuous power struggles devoured the lives of countless millions. Now, their time is over! Although most diplomats have realized that Europe’s significance has declined greatly since World War I, the craven capitulation of these former powers has shown the rest of the world how low they really have descended. These former powers, now allied in the Common Market, have shown their haste to please the r Arab masters by quarrelling from within and one country which ostracizing the Netherlands had the guts to offer some resistence to the Arab blackmail. Yet the Arab pressure game will be self-defeating, because they are pressuring countries that really have no power. So big deal, the European countries are blackmailed into supporting the Arab position. Those remnants of former glory can’t do a if the Arabs could damm thing to the Israelis blackmail the Europeans, then it is obvious their influence isn't worth two cents. The Europeans could hurt the Israelis by refusing to trade with them, but aside from that weapon, which is a double-edged sword, the Europeans have very little actual power. This realization will hit these countries, and could possibly result in new directions in the future. - — Now that the Arabs are attempting to win friends and allies by blackmailing them with an item that is as “necessary as bread,” do they really think that the biggest Israeli supporter, the United States, will capitulate along with the Europeans and the Japanese? The United States as a world power not due to any undying cannot capitulate but because we are a major friendship for Israel of weakness will reduce us to sign power and any second-rank status. The Arabs actually did us a favor in the long run; as a result of Arab blackmail, the United States will eventually develop new sources of energy that will undercut the now-dominant position of oil. It will possibly result in a change of American lifestyles which would be beneficial to the American people. As a result of this Arab oil boycott, millions of people around the world will suffer and will also realize that the Arabs can control their countries’ — — - destiny. If you think that the boycott will remain in its limited phase, then you are greatly mistaken. The asking Arabs will continue to squeeze the noose the of oil. The of legacy supply cutting and for more this boycott will be the ironic underscoring of the reversal of roles between the Arabs and the Europeans. The Arabs can make any country which is dependent upon foreign oil dance to any tune they want to play. As of now it is the Arab-lsraeli conflict, but what about tomorrow? If the Arabs did this ten years ago, the European powers would have invaded their oil fields and seized control of them. What will happen if the Arabs intensify their demands? If these oil-dependent countries refuse to comply, will the Arabs cut off all fuel and cause great disruptions? As it stands, the Arabs will have to increase their boycott because they feel there hasn’t been enough European pressure upon the Israelis. There will come a time when these countries will have to capitulate completely and renounce any pretensions to independence, or attempt to find another way out If the Arabs leave these oil-dependent countries no choice, then we might possibly see drastic - countermeasures. — — Security stand As the situation now stands, it would seem that the oil-dependent nations, with few exceptions, have capitulated to Arab demands and renounced their sovereignity. They now have become modern versions of dependent colonies dancing to the tune of Arab oih Yet whatever happens in this confrontation, there is no doubt that -the Arabs decision has confirmed the declining position of Europe in world politics. It is also an action that will ironically result in a massive attempt by most oil-dependent countries to find alternate sources ot energy. There is no doubt that these will be found, and when that day occurs, the Arabs can go back to their deserts and fry. It would be poetic justice in return for such arrogant blackmail. — clarified To the Editor. I have recently heard rumors that the pre-law advisement on this campus is sexist. Such remarks are quite disturbing to me. I have seen the pre-law advisor. Dr. Jerome Fink, on several occasions, and consistently found him to be helpful, encouraging and acutely sensitive to my personal and academic needs in Law School.

Ten years since grace was murdered, since style and wit and youth went out of the country, to be replaced by demons, gargoyles, slimy agents of the debased, a river of night conceived by Hieronymous BoschrThe bullets maimed the brightness and brought America down into the strangled old age of decline and death. Another Thanksgiving, and 10 years gone. Dallas broke the American dike. Waiting beyond, murmurous, blood-swollen, wormy with righteousness and deceit, lay the tar-black river of American darkness. It came upon us with a thunderous rush. A half-million Vietnamese dead, 55,000 dead Americans, 200,000 maimed and mutilated, a matching number stumbling through the junkie’s night. Crazed generals faked their murderous numbers; young men were machine-gunned in apple pie boys entered My Lai and a hundred other places and shot down old men and babies.

The dike was broken, and the river contained Richard Speck, his knife slicing nurses in Chicago, Charles Whitman carrying his rifle to the tower in Austin; Charles Manson’s savage family crawling through the bushes in California, to rip and destroy. The numbers escalated. How many people was Juan Corona convicted of killing? How many damaged boys were pulled from the sand of Houston and Galveston? Three young crazies killed 19 people in California, and it is a two-day story in the newspapers. In New York,- 2000 are killed every year; throats cut, bullets pumped crazily into bodies, babies hurled from windows, wives mutilated, bodies chopped to pieces, and slush-eyed killers captured in the dawn, silent and American. We live in barbarism. Intramural irregularity To the Editor. As a former referee I can criticize something that is terribly wrong in intramural football, for those who cannot see it. On Monday, the playoffs began and Brian Manfre, one of the three people in charge of the referees, played for one of these teams. Manfre proceeded to intimidate the referees into making bad calls and being afraid to call others. The referees for intramurals are not outstanding, but for $2 an hour they do their job as well as possible. All semester long referees played on teams. Manfre and the others have attempted to keep away from the officials during gametime. On Monday, Manfre continuously attacked the officials while his team failed to put together an offense. Of course the refs were intimidated; Manfre kept telling them what a poor job they were doing. His behavior left much to be desired. Manfre provided a terrible example of leadership in order to get to the refs; 1 didn’t care who won. In this case, it’s a matter of how the game was played. This letter might evoke responses from the referees of the game and even Manfre’s teammates; I just think that Manfre should have used discretion and let his team decide how the officials were doing. Either the people in charge of intramural referees should not participate or they should criticize the refs for doing their mediocrejob.

Nixon is on TV, shouting to America: “I’m not a crook!” And adding that it might not be bad if Air Force One crashes, because “then they wouldn’t have to impeach.” I know all that was wrong with the Kennedy Administration; how Kennedy was a cold warrior, how the Bay of Pigs set up a lot of other criminal acts; how the first steps into Vietnam came under Kennedy; how it was Kennedy who hired Johnson, Rusk, MacNamara, Bundy, Rostow and the others. I know that Kennedy was timid in confronting Congress over civil rights and poverty, and that he did not do what he really could have done during his thousand days. * * * But, hey, wow, did I feel better about being an American when John F. Kennedy was President. His press conferences were fine things to watch, full of irony and wit, and the spontaneity of a confident man. He was comfortable in his body, and made all who watched him feel more graceful, more full of possibility, somehow glad to be around, in America, in a time of ascendancy. It could not last. The darkness came up and overwhelmed the day. Debased, empty men now rule the nation; the Congress swoons in cowardice. Every day, Richard Nixon walks through our skulls, jn his plodding mediocre style, defensive and dangerous, lashing out, pleading innocence, leader of the most corrupt administration in the nation’s history.

Non-sexist advisement To the Editor 1 am writing this letter to correct a few errors in Wednesday’s story regarding the “Students Stand On Arming.” The article quoted me as saying that the report was unworkable since it did not provide security for the Amherst Campus. It then goes on to say “However allowances for Amherst were added to the sub-committee’s final recommendation.” What my response to Dr. Ketter does say is that “The recommendations make provisions for two guns per shift, not specifically, addressing the fact that the security force is responsible for protecting three different campuses.” That statement is made because, contrary to the impression given by the story, the only mention of this problem in the sub-committee report is a statement that says “We recognize the growth in population of the North Campus may require modification of this recommendation in the future.” The objection stated in my reply was not to the lack of security it provided for Amherst, but rather to the previous vague, open-ended statement that could suddenly change a two gun recommendation to a four or six gun recommendation. Another mistake falsely attributed to me is the make up of the security force. The security force has a total of five (5) investigators who work almost exclusively during the day, not five (5) per shift. where the “two Additionally, 1 don’t know lieutenants” figure came from. Certainly not from me. An adequate reading of our statement and of the arming guidelines could have eliminated these errors from what was otherwise a real good story.

Common Cents The Spectrum Vol. 24, No. 38 Ten years gone, and who remembers the dead of or Newark, or Hough, or East Harlem? Americans shot down Americans at Kent State and Jackson State. An American traveling in Europe would create shudders; his nation was a nation of killers, people whose symbol had become the B-52, dropping bombs on hospitals, while its President Watts, Assassination became part of our politics. There would have been no way for Richard Nixon to become President without the murders of John and Robert Kennedy. His great “comeback” was the product of the spilled blood of superior men. John F. Kennedy gunned down, Robert Kennedy murdered, Malcolm X assassinated, Martin Luther King falling before the assassin’s rifle: and emerging from the ashes, a figure who epitomized the self-contempt of a disturbed nation, came Richard Friends, foreigners, foes alike. We are all involved in a fine ideologically advanced university where each day it is possible to enjoy a new learning experience offered only by UB. Take for example the experience I have recently had which I will share with all of you. You see, it all started with a girl (lovely, 1 may add), and a housing room contract and me. I was going through my normal daily routine of working (soft, easy desk job), attending my one course a day, socializing with UB’s lovelies, and getting a bit “wacked” out in the interim, when this previously mentioned girl (i.e. woman) asked me to marry her. Well, I wasn’t doing anything special that day and as I mentioned she was quite lovely, so I quickly accepted. She was wildly enthusiastic at my response and not because of my blue eyes and endearing maturity. You see I had just solved her problem. My “I do” was all that was needed for her to check the appropriate box entitled, “MARRIAGE” on the University Housing’s “reasons to break housing contract.” It is not enough to simply ask to relieve oneself of the burden of living in the dorms. That doesn’t make cents$ to this University. Personal choice and desire doesn’t matter once you have signed on that dotted line. Woe be it if there are a few empty beds in the dorms! Empty beds mean reference. This is the same logic that allows placing three students in a room designed for two under the guise of different costs for the unlucky three. This is what makes cent$ to them (who is “them”?). True, it does set a terrible precendent to allow students to live where they choose. After all, if they allow everyone to escape from the housing contract, everyone will escape. And that doesn’t make cent$ to our progressive school. It is much better to have students living where they don’t want to, so that everyone is happy. Right? And that gets me back to my impending marriage. 1 can’t decide whether to wear my blue work shirt with the snaps or the one with the buttons. But what’s this? She is telling me it doesn’t matter! We’ll go through everything except the work shirt and the “I do.” Oh, 1 get it, we get married but not married married. That makes sense. I mean after all, why would you want to get out of one contract to go right into another one (marriage, that is). Oh yes, by the way fellas, when I said everything except the work shirt and “I do,” I meant it. It was awfully tough to decide though whether to consummate (and that’s not the soup our “contract” in Niagara Falls or in some low cost housing project with Norton looking in). A Lovelorn Divorcee FViday, 30 November 1973 The Spectrum Page seven . . �A racist arrest? No show To the Editor. Editor ’s note: This letter is a complaint about Freddie Hubbard’s failure to show up for a scheduled concert the week before Thanksgiving. After a three-hour trial in City Court Nov. 27, Larry Williams (the BSU President) was found NOT GUILTY of all the charges (harassment and resisting arrest) brought against him by U.B. campus cop Gary Kalisz. Kalisz and another campus cop with a dog pulled over Larry’s car off campus just after Larry and 40 other BSU members confronted administrators in Hayes Hall demanding the long delayed E.O.P. checks for 238 students. Kalisz claimed in court that he “thought Larry was driving without a license” (even though Larry had, weeks earlier, shown the campus police his license, and asked them to stop “checking him). During the license check, according to Kalisz, Larry suddenly started swinging at him, thus forcing him to throw Larry to the ground, handcuff and arrest him, while the other cop stood on top of Larry. Larry and another witness explained what really that Kalisz told Larry he “had a big happened mouth” (Kalisz had been in Hayes Hall during the BSU confrontation just hours earlier) and then, failing to provoke Larry to a fight, he grabbed Larry and threw him to the ground. Kalisz’s lies were so inept (for instance, he said Larry struck first with his right hand, but Larry, quite inconveniently, turns out to be left-handed), and he was so visibly nervous on the witness stand that Judge Roberts was forced to choose between ruling Not Guilty or blowing what’s left of the court’s facade of “justice” in front of the numerous spectators supporting Larry. Defense witnesses also brought out that cop Kalisz is a long standing racist: Once Kalisz brought phony charges against Larry and when the student judiciary didn’t go along with him, he blew up and To the Editor. Freddie Hubbard did not play his set. And we won’t get a refund. And I am a white Jew who appreciates black culture and likes Jazz enough to join the Jazz Club, which was started this year by some respectable blacks. I love jazz, which is as black as mayonafsse is white, and as Roland Kirk knows, you don’t need eyes to tell the difference. Kirk, who is blind, refuses to play with white musicians, and occasionally walks out if there are any whites in the audience. Please don’t tell him how much I love his music; he might retaliate. After Hubbard did not play, the students, mostly black, filed out of the gymnasium merely mumbling. 1 guess once you have been ripped off by the big white Dick you don’t mind be ng ripped off by a few little black ones, especially when they are your own brothers and sisters. Well, at least they mumbled. I thought I even saw a few shufflin’ on out. I called BSU the next morning and Larrone Williams told me Hubbard had not been paid and that their lawyer was acting on the matter. I’m sure the lawyer will get paid, so that must be where my money is going; to some lawyer who may buy some more Arthur Fiedler albums with it. Williams also stated that no stubs were returned to ticket holders because they are passed out the windows to freeloaders.

Williams said that the profit would remain with the BSU, and when questioned if there would be any sort of reparations, such as a free concert, he stated, “Maybe.

I would like to point out some inaccuracies in the article “Emergency Services Tested in Fake Crisis.” First a minor point, there were 36 victims not 35. Also the simulation was originally planned by the VA hospital and the school then joined in. The neighboring communities and all emergency personnel were informed before hand of the simulation. Another thing was that several people were killed, not just two and others suffered additional injuries because of improper attention. The most ill-reported item was the quote that the city was void of all ambulances. Places such as LaSalle ambulance and other private ambulance services, and hospitals such as Mercy, were on call in H. Pye Student Association explained that refunds were impossible because no ticket stubs are issued. Note; I would like to respond to your editorial entitled “The Right to Choose.” The writer claims that “Pro-Life” groups wish to impose their morality on others and calls them ’’self-righteous.” I am also anti-abortion and admit that I would like to impose this bit of morality on others. But this is my reason: I feel that a fetus is a human. I feel as if all the aborted babies are helpless brothers of mine, and I imagine that they want me to help them. I am compelled by conscience to fight for these lives. If my views are wrong in your eyes, argue with me. But why do you refuse my right to fight for my ideas? Why call me “self-righteous” when you know Progressive Labor Party case an emergency did arise, with back-up emergency vehicles. Where this reporter obtained this quote is beyond me and I am sure it was not from someone in charge. Committees such as the one headed up by A1 Capagna, of Sub Board 1, have been trying to inform the University of much needed improvement in health care since the beginning of the year. In the future I would suggest that you research your facts a little better before printing them, and make sure they come from reliable sources. Martin Schoen •r Editor’s note; * The reporter obtained his information by attending a meeting of all concerned parties following the simulation. for life It seems to me that any article defending the validity of abortion (including yours Nov. 14) inevitably avoids one issue the inherent huitianky of the unborn fetus. Obviously, you must avoid this issue to support your position, since to fact it can only lead to one conclusion. If you have taken high school biology, you know that even at the moment of conception, the human embryo contains all the genetic material necessary to define its individuality. You also know that within a few short weeks, the fetus has already developed life functions. It is impossible and illogical to deny that a human fetus, at any stage of development, lacks humanity. — - Once this fact is recongnized, all arguments in support of abortion are superfluous. Since a human fetus is an individual life, to end its natural dvelopment is wrong. Call me emotional if you must, but it is murder. for life. Patricia Kibler Jeffrey Sosnick I can sympathize with a woman’s right to control her body; but once whe has conceived, she is responsible for another human life. Economic and other considerations can preceed conception there are such things as contraceptives, you know. Perhaps an expanded program of education and availability could alleviate the problem. Of course, I needn’t tell you your argument that “They’ll do it anyway” begs the moral question — I feel 1 am trying to prevent injustice, not cause it? I am doing what you are doing; fighting for rights I believe I have to insure. Don’t tell me that I’m trying to run other people’s lives. You know perfectly well that civilized peoples have always considered it thenplace to prevent domestic killings. If my mind is wrong about what a murder is, should I lose my vote, and who is to say who is wrong? Be fair! Call us warped and misguided but NOT SELE-RIGHTEOUS, and its connotation!

Abortion, ideally, should be a last resort if other means of contraception fail, but the last resort and its emotional trauma will be more frequently necessary if preventive measures are not encouraged and taken. It is indeed ironic that these groups call themselves “pro-life.” In arguing, as Right to Life does, that “potential life has more rights than actual life,” it becomes obvious what little regard is held for a human being who has grown to maturity, has a family, responsibilities, and committments. To state that a fetus several weeks old has more rights is absurd. It is not a selfish attitude to want children only when they will be loved and cared for and can grow into loving and caring adults. That should be every child’s birthright. We’re pro-life, too, you see, and we view your stand as totally contradictory to your misleading titles. We urge strong opposition to any attempts to amend the Supreme Court ruling and deny respect Fetuses are human To the Editor. — - Responsible We’re pro-life too These people who call themselves “pro-life” should stop and reconsider what respect for human life truly means. It means that each child deserves the right to be born to parents who will love and want him and deeply care that his potential to contribute to and save this society will be developed. It means that we must respect life enough to realize that this small planet is polluted and crowded and will only hold so many more people before we committ mass suicide. It means that being respectful of life, we do not want to see lives shattered by birth rather than enriched, or see children venting emotions of hate and resentment rather than learning to love. The Catholic Church in particular apparently cares more about the quantity of life rather than the quality. A prominent Church leader such as Cardinal Mindszenty deplores America’s declining birthrate. We urge any and all influential religious figures to visit the local ghetto or take a trip to Latin or South American countries and observe the quality of Life , Another version next. To the Editor. yelled that he’d “get” Larry in City Court. On another occasion, Kalisz threatened Larry and other black students that one day there would be a confrontation between black students and Campus Security and when it came he, Kalisz, would “come running with bells on my shoes.” Racists like Gary Kalisz and James Britt are deliberately kept on the force at UB to harass black students, especially when they fight back against things like the delayed E.O.P. checks. Repression of black students is an attack on ALL of us. The delayed E.O.P. checks are only the spearhead for budget cuts and tuition hikes that are wrecking all of our lives. It’s the UB administration that is GUILTY of racist harassment that has cost Larry Williams a $1000 lawyer’s fee which still needs to be paid, and UB should pay it!! Let’s get our organizations like SA, GSA, etc., to demand that UB pay up. And in and students and faculty the meantime the SA, individually should donate to the Defense Fund (c/o BSU., Box 0, Norton Union). If the SA can afford to give Lester Maddox $1500, it can give money to fight racism too. Now more than ever we need to unite black and fight for 1) no racist budget cuts and white and tuition hikes; 2) no guns for campus cops no more racist harassment Fire Kalisz and Britt; 3) no racist textbooks which “justify” racists like Ketter, Kalisz & Co. As communists, we say it’s going to take a violent revolution to totally wipe out racism, budget cuts and worms like Kalisz. It’s going to take unity of all races of workers and students. But the time to start fighting racism at UB is NOW! Jim Thrush A Freshman c entirely. Finally, I feel that in good conscience I must do what I can to end abortion in our society. Abortion is yet another example of the insensitivity and un-humanness that so characterize our society and our times.

Rassow Spectrum Art Critic Two thoughts come to mind when looking at Hryvniak now being displayed in the Music Room of Norton Union. The first involves that aspect of recognition which depends on stored memorizations In contradistinction td the visual implications of the first, the second thought is, slid: T "Memories tend to be remains, not of past sensations, but past verbalizations". Experiments have been done *ith the scientific purpose of exacting a mechanism for determining how we not only recognize classifications of things but also how we are able to clearly differentiate the particular class as we do when we distinguish one person from another. The most common dilemma cajoining verbal and resolution occurs when a imagistic "face-reconstruction artist" must sketch a missing person or wanted criminal from the collected information of witnesses Typically the artist must show the witness pictures of various facial structures (eyes, nose, mouth, etc.) and piece together a total portrait from the visual identification selected. This picture is modified during its construction by verbal commentary which becomes much more, rather a para-language of intuition, until a fair pictorial representation is reached. the photographic exhibit by Joseph summate to a verbal means of recognition, Implicit in Joseph Hryvniak's photographs is thj$ process of gradation, but it's explicit verbal corollary is not at all clear because the dissolves and other techniques present an image which we identify yyjth things outside the process he works in. They are images, abstractions, which refer to designs, accidental associations and muted impressions which do not as Rosalind Krauss says "map themselves onto tf, e reality" of the materials Mneumonic image They are separated by a veneer of reference which is traditional to the typical photograph not to the advances he is attempting to make. That is, he is moving things around to create an image which alludes to a memory of other things. As an example of this kind of work, look at the small drawing by Sol LeWitt, lines from the right. It's simplicity is not the affection we gain from a smile or an illusion of unadorned "trueness" or the small detail which opens the eye to a myriad of associations. It's simplicity is the self-evidence of the lines which "trail" from right to left. Its logic unfolds right on the paper as our eyes trace the outcome and intention of the "squiggly" lines at the same time. The work is generated from qualities inherent in the penclLand paper. The work is external to any hidden reference; verification is immediate and the strength of any art has always been in the immediacy of experience we gain. Joe Hryvniak's photographs were chosen from an earlier period in his art development and probably initiated his more innovative film applications. In all, what was presented in the Music Room set the stage for ideas which demand discussion. In that light, he merits criticism of the most serious nature. .

The creators of the series must have believed that by meshing the recipes of various past hits, they'd come out with a blue ribbon winner too. They combined a bus driver's uniform from The Honeymooners, an unemployed live-in relative from AH In The Family, and the writers of That Girl to concoct a main course called Lotsa Luck. What they lacked was lotsa luck. What they gained was a show which appears weekly with at least one table filled with food. The show is about a lower-middle-class family comprised of a mother, grown son and daughter, and the daughter's husband. The son, Stanley (played by Dorn DeLuise), is the sole supporter of the family. He works in the lost and found department of a bus company, having been previously promoted from a driver. The characterizations are poor, although it is difficult to tell whether this is the creators' fault or the actors'. The players overemphasize their accents and end up dragging their lines. They are always dressed in the same outfits, forcing them to appear Ozzie's Girls (Rick-less and Dave-free) oh, how we just love nostalgia. Nostalgia People, supposedly fed up with the 70's have turned to the good old 50's (McCarthy, Korea, Nixon what a lovely era!) for music, movies, and now television. Remember when you were just a little tot, back in the late 50's and early 60's? Once a week, Ozzie and Harriet delighted us with its "homey" comedy. How cay we ever forget Ricky and David Nelson, so blah on the tube? They had us wondering whether or not they were like that in real life (we have since then discovered they were). And what about Wally, that fat buffoon, who looked more like 35 than college-age and whose jokes brought roaring laughter from the electronic audiences and lowly grunts of disgust from us? Wow, what a mind-blower of a show! Ricky and David Nelson have departed but Ozzie ,and Harriet linger on. Harriet, discontented with knitting sweaters and buying groceries, and Ozzie, fidgeting because he had nothing at all to do, decided to revive the show. Ricky and David were gone, so the Nelsons brought in two college girls, one white, the other black, to live with them. A touch of nostalgia, a touch of modern relevancy; call it Ozzie's Girls and you've got a hit! How bad can you get, Oz? Good comedy? The Brady Bunch seems like the Marx Brothers compared to this show. Brenda Sykes and Susan Sennet appear — — as role players rather than authentic people. For example, Arthur, Stanley's unemployed brother-in-law, is always seen in a bathrobe. His wife is perpetually in hair rollers. These are fine getups for a Schick Hot Comb commercial or one for Lady Clairol Electric Curlers, but not for "real" people. After all. what woman wears curlers when she sits at a kitchen table all day, has nowhere to go, and has a hudband who can't be separated from his robe? The show is witty and often has creative plots. Several weeks ago, the family was forced to sell its cemetery plot to the city because the lot interfered with the new highway construction plan. As a result, their father's remains had to be moved to a new site. A controversy resulted: should they buy new sites for all five members of the family, or should they allow Arthur to will his body to science and-use his plot money to buy a color TV? As this documents, The show moves the stories are often unusual. very quickly because the writing is sprinkled with puns and an occasional chuckle. However, the Lotta Luck recipe is lacking the necessary seasonings. Unbelievable characters make any situation unbelievable which, in turn, makes the show unbelievable and unpalatable. The net result is a television show which, come January, will be scratched from the NBC menu.

Ozzie and Harriet seem to think they're living legends and all they have to do is smile and the audience will go bananas. Sour grapes maybe, but no bananas. Ozzie produces and directs the show. It's easy to see, now, why he never had a job. The plots (if there are any) are horrible and the only climax occurs during the commercials when you try to solve the mysterious question of why you're watching the show in the first place. True, the Nelsons had little time for preparation. ABC called them a few minutes before the new season and said, “Say, Oz. we need some junk to fill up the Friday 7:3D8 P.M. time slot. We want your show. We don't have a chance in the ratings so we thought we'd call you" Rumors have it that Oz went out and bought a new cardigan sweater to celebrate. Seriously, fans, the Nelsons are not actors. They are not comedians. They are just two warm, friendly people, who would be better off sitting in their won living room and watching T.V., rather than acting on it. A possible thought for salvation: ABC could try putting Ozzie's Girls on Sunday mornings, sandwiched between church masses. On second thought, forget it.

As if from a quiet planet I first heard the music and understood its extension of silence without caring no labels, music ain't about the components technicians and twenty years of study, it's noise. There isn't good noise and bad noise, no more than there's good colors, or bad blades of grass. There's this little guy following me around telling me Joni Mitchell's lousy ’cause she always uses demented fourth chords, but she sounds fine to me, so chalk up another reason for pleasure.

We both knew I really wasn't much different from the other students, but I had a reputation as a trouble-maker. I think my teachers talked about me in the teachers' room and drew lots not to have me as a student. Occassionally the teacher of the smart class (6-1, Room 212) got me and we've had 'em fooled for years. My father, who's so puritanical I think he was a virgin when he was married, said I had to accept the fact that the world had labels and kept hitting me in hopes that I wouldn't be one of them. It kinda gave me a head start in realizing what nonsense labels - from all hit influences to make the album; I just never dug tome of hit influences. He wrote all the songs like those CTI albums he played on harmless themes that you wait to end until the solos can begin.

Back to Cobham: some stories about drummers start with Tony Williams his quick wrists had him around the sun. with Miles at 16 revolutions playing Now when Miles did his own revolution, creating the new electricity music I mean.

Their first one. Whole Oates, is one of the very few albums that tried to reach a goal and made it. Hall and Oates realized this and are now out to reach a new goal. Whole Oates is a mixture of folk and a bit of rock in the purest form. It combines the fantasy of life with the innocence of childhood in both the music and lyrics.'lt is a relatively simple album, but in this case, simple sure as hell doesn't mean bad. Whole Oates is one of the sweetest, nicest, and easiest to listen to albums of the past few years. It is one of those very few albums that if you were not in a mellow mood before you listened to it, you certainly were after you finished. Abandoned Luncheonette reminds me of a child going through puberty. It's lost something (innocence and some sweetness) but it's also gained something (a new sense of awareness, and quite a bit of complexity). It is much more slickly produced than Whole Oates and the music isn't as sincere. The first time I saw these guys in concert, it was just Daryl Hall on keyboards and John Oates on acoustic guitar. Once in a while they did a rocker and were supported by a backup band, but this was just as a change of pace. I saw them again a few months ago and their hair was styled short (of course, both of them are wearing superstar sunglasses these days), and they were continually supported by a backup band. As good as this backup band is (and it really is fine), it still detracts from the simplicity and purity of Hall and Oates' music. The question is: Do you want some of the best folk around or some good rock and roll? Well, I'll tell you. if I were you, I'd take the folk. If you think about it, there's so many damn good rock and roll groups around today that we ought to let them develop their talents instead of creating new ones. Now think of a few really fine folk groups. See the point? If Daryl and John play their cards right, they just might turn into the Simon and Garfunkel of the i 70's. There are good cuts on this album. "Las Vegas Turnaround", "She's Gone", and "Abandoned Luncheonette" are really jazzy songs with Joe Farrell playing fine alto and tenor sax. "Everytime I Look At You" is a great rocker (but there are loads of those nowadays) and so is "I'm Just A Kid (Don't Make Me Feel Like A Man)". SO WHAT? The only song on the album that gets me mellow is "Laughing Boy." Marvin Stamm plays a really nice flugeihorn on this cut and Hall's voice is astounding. This album is reminiscent of the film The Candidate. At the beginning of the movie, Robert Bedford was as sincere as a person can be. After deciding to run for senator and to run a simple, straightforward campaign, he became less and less his own man and more and more his campaign - isht 8 10pm & Fillmore Room • ••• UUAB & WPHD RADIO present I starring in manager's puppet. However, the more he lost his own sincerity and honesty, and started telling the people only what they wanted to hear, the more the public accepted him. Maybe at first Daryl Hall and John Oates are going to give the public what it wants or what it thinks it wants and then, when they start to gain a following, return to their own rich style of folk. Shit, I sure hope so. They've got what it takes to turn a lot of people on to some awfully good folk music.

Government sources said the military leaders, who opposed ousted President George Papadopoulos’ limited attempts to moderate his strongman regime, were expected to release the policy report Wednesday. Sources close to the new rulers said Brig. Gen. Dimitrios loannides, the military police chief who masterminded Sunday's coup, has completed a shakeup of the armed forces.

NATIONAL Yacht mothballed to save gas WASHINGTON (UPI) The White House indicated today the presidential yacht Sequoia would be temporarily mothballed to conserve fuel, but that President Nixon would continue to travel “when it’s necessary.” Deputy press secretary Gerald I. Warren said that the yacht is undergoing “normal maintenance” and will not be used “in the foreseeable future.” One of the reasons, he said, was “the energy shortage.” The Pentagon meantime said there was no truth to a rumor that it would extinguish the eternal flame that bums constantly atop the grave site of President John F. Kennedy. He said the flame burns 2200 cubic feet of natural gas a month at a cost of $37. - Ford approved by Senate Vice-Presidential nominee Gerald R. Ford was approved by the Senate Tuesday by a vote of 92-3. His nomination is expected to win approval by the House Judiciary and gain final House approval on December 6. The three opposing votes were cast by Senators Thomas Eagleton, of Missouri, William D. Hathaway of Maine and Gaylord Nelson of Wisconsin, all Democrats. Mr. Ford presently has “mixed feelings” about his status as a half-confirmed Vice-President. “I’m eager and anxious to get in and do a new job,” he ..... said, “but at the same time ! can’t help but have regrets over leaving the House and all the wonderful men and women I served with after these 35 years.” Cabinet leans toward gas rationing President Nixon’s Cabinet level energy group has soured on fuel saving tax ideas, bringing rationing a step closer.

Daylight Savings Time for two years The House of Representatives passed a measure putting the nation on daylight savings time in a move to conserve energy. The vote was 311 to 88. The bill was one of a series of measures introduced by the president in order to conserve energy. It is estimated the move will save 95,000 barrels of fuel a day or 3 percent of the nation’s estimated energy shortage. Representative H R. Gross (R-Iowa) called the bill “a golfer’s delight.” Two new energy sources tapped WASHINGTON (UPI) The American homeowner will face a six to ten degree drop in temperature this winter but Interior Secretary Rogers C.B. Morton held out hope of more heating fuel from the undeveloped western shale lands by 1980. Morton called a news conference to announce he had decided to proceed with developmental leasing of federal oil shale lands that could open the way for a vast new source of fossil fuel, Mr. Morton announced he is ready to issue a right of way permit for the Alaska pipeline. Six tracts in Colorado, Wyoming and Utah are expected to be leased for prototype oil shale mining and processing facilities. If all goes well, by 1980 the six plants to be built by private industry will be producing a total of 350,000 barrels of crude oil a day for further - refining into gasoline, heating oil and petroleum products. Interior officials said. other Regan: front runner Sen. James L Buckley, R-N .Y., agreed Wednesday with a statement California Gov. Ronald Reagan is the Republican Party’s conservative front-runner for the 1976 presidential nomination. “That’s a fair statement,” the new York conservative said in response to a question following his weekly news conference in his office here. “He’s an enormously capable man,” Buckley WASHINGTON (UPI) - said in describing Reagan, who many Republicans and political observers feel is the party’s leading contender for the nomination. “He’s qualified to take on any responsibility,” said Buckley. On other topics, Buckley described New York Mayor John V. Lindsay, who switched from the Republican party to the Democratic camp, as potentially a “formiddable opponent” in the 1976 senatorial race. He said a Lindsay senatorial candidacy would be “something to be concerned about.” BINGHAMTON, N Y. (UPI) - Sen Jacob K -continued on page Q. I have not paid my entire bill for tuition and fees yet. What happens if I don’t get it paid before the end of the semester? A: Your University bill must be paid before the end of the semester otherwise you will be unable to register for courses for the spring semester. Unless your account is cleared, the computer will check-stop your registration. We suggest that you pay your bill immediately to avoid having to register after everyone else with the possible narrowing down of course choices due to classes being filled. If you have ever been closed out of courses, you will be sure to get your bill paid. Q; When is the last day to drop a course? A: Today, November 30, 1973 is the last day to drop a course Q; When can I pick up registration materials? A: The schedule is posted in various places, including Norton Hall and Diefendorf. It goes by class and is alphabetical by last name. The process will begin on Monday. Q: Can non-recognized student groups make room reservations in Norton Hall? A: Technically, the answer is no. However, a student group can receive temporary recognition for six weeks until permanent recognition is granted. In any case, for the complete information we suggest that you go to Room 223 in Norton Hall. Q: I am thinking of taking a year off from school at the end of this semester. What should I do? A: There is no official leave of absence from SUNYAB. You must fill out a resignation form which is available from your DUS advisor. It must be signed by your advisor and taken to Admissions and Records. If you are going to return, fill out a Special Action Request form at the 16- A: The answer is complicated and depends on your individual case.

Q: 1 need a letter of recommendation and, unfortunately, I did not get to know any of my professors well enough to ask them for such a favor. Is there any way of getting such a letter from the University? A: Our first suggestion is that you see your academic advisor and ask him or her. They are more familiar with your academic work. If you don’t feel free o do this then there is another alternative. Please feel free to come to the Office of Student Affairs and Services in 201 Harriman. A member of the professional staff there will be glad to interview you and to review your career at the University with you, and then to write a letter of recommendation for you. Q: If you take a semester off from school, does this count in the eight semesters of the Regent's Scholarship? A: You can get up to two years’ leave from school and still have the Regents cover you for eight semesters. The two years does not have to be taken all at one time, e.g. You may take off one semester now, another semester two years from now, etc. This applies only to the Regents Scholarship and not to the Regents Incentive because incentive awards are granted on an annual basis. A simple letter to the Regents Examination and Scholarship Center, 99 Washington Avenue, Albany, New York 12210, should suffice. Be sure to include your scholarship number and make a carbon copy of the letter for yourself in case there is a problem. Q: When will the Undergraduate Library open? A: The Undergraduate Library will open December 3rd in Diefendorf Annex. The facility will be open from December 3rd until Saturday, December 22nd to provide additional study space.

(UP!) New York state police - have begun an investigation to determine whether any criminal charges should be made in connection with the second inmate distrubance in four days at the Elmira Correctional Facility. A statement issued by prison officials said 22 inmates and one prison guard received minor injuries Monday during a one-hour disturbance involving between 20 and 40 of the inmates at the rnedtum-security facility. The statement said the guard was injured when he was hit by a weight thrown by one inmate at another. A Department of Correctional Services spokesman said the altercation began while 130-200 of the facility’s 1100 inmates were taking a recreational period. High crimerate at SUNY (CPS) Persons attending the State University at New York (SUNY) for-four full years have one chance in two of being a crime victim, according to figures compiled by Albany’s School of Criminal Justice. The high risk rate is due to a recent Upsurge in reported criminal offenses this fall on the campus. 622 offenses have been reported so far this fall, a 30% increase over last year. Police Director James Williams said some of the increase may be attributed to more students reporting thefts that would normally have been unreported, and that they may be reporting thefts of smaller items than before. “Simple minded people” often reach the conclusion that “half the students here are criminals,” but, in fact, much of the crime is committed by transients from the surrounding he commented. - Pay sixteen The Spectrum Friday, 30 November 1973 . . dribblers face Bulls* Tomorrow, Buffalo’s Among the starters Danforth has basketball Bulls travel to Manley returning is 6-3 bennis DuVal, a Field House in Syracuse to face potential All-American who the what might be their most Syracuse mentor feels is “the formidable task of the season. finest guard in the East.” DuVal Buffalo takes on the Syracuse single-handedly destroyed the Orangemen, ranked in the top 15 Bulls in last year’s 83-71 defeat, in both wire service polls.

Its coach, John Hill, is beginning his first year at the helin and only one starter is returning to the squad. The varsity faces similar problems. At this writing. Hill had not selected his starting lineup. He was impressed by several of the Bulls, such as John Ruffino, the only returning starter from last year’s JV team. Ruffino is a sophomore guard who led Buffalo in scoring with 19.5 points per game last year, and is “the team’s best outside shooter," according to Hill. Ruffino, a native of Buffalo, was also termed “the team’s best defensive playerer.” A possibility for the other guard slot is freshman Tom Marable. “Marable is our best guard on the fast break,” commented Hill. “He can really take it to the basket.” Weber to atari?

Center Ron Maracle will miss the remainder of the season due to ineligibility, while left wing Tom Schratz will be out of action for a month after suffering a knee injury against Oswego. y-.r-'. . ' • “I got word from the admissions office about Maracle,’* reported Wright. “An eligibility check revealed that he was only carrying ten hours. (Twelve is necessary to be a full-time student and thus eligible.] Tom Schratz has a severely strained medial ligament. His leg has been placed in a cast for two to three weeks, apd then it’s a matter of rehabilitation. Hopefully, he’ll be ready for the (AIC) Tournament. If not, we’ll give him the extra rest until we go to Lake Forest,” Wright added. Following their loss to Clarkson before Thanksgiving, Buffalo blanked Kent State 9-0 and downed Oswego 8-6 at Twin Rinks. The Bulls had a 7-2 lead over Oswego with 9:14 to play, when the Lakers yanked starting goaltender Pete Weimer in favor of Steve Paluseo. Buffalo got off a shot on Paluseo immediately, and one more during the rest of the period, while Oswego took 24 at Bull goaltender John Moore during the third stanza. A successful penalty shot by the Bulls’ Andre Poirier helped Buffalo build up a 4-1 first period lead. Tom Farkas, who whitewashed Kent State, will face RIT op Friday night, with Moore in goal against Brockport on Saturday. Ronny — - Big Red threat to Bull squad - by David J.

Neither Schwartz nor assistant coach Jules Goldstein are full-time teachers at Buffalo. As a result, practices are held at night and are limited to just three hours per week. Schwartz shouldered some of the blame, explaining that more and better training over the last few weeks might have resulted in better swordsmanship by the Bulls. “We haven’t been practicing hard enough,” he said expected starters have not practiced often enough. Forman, who chooses the starters for each meet, has indicated that good attendance at practices is a pre-requisite for fencing in competition. As a result, there has been much confusion as to who will be starting tomorrow in Ithaca. The epee competition figures to be the Bulls’ forte this season. Schwartz observed, “All experienced men are fencing epee.” Forman will be the number one epee fencer, with Terry Reisine leading off at foil and. Steve Munz opening on sabre. The team is young, with an abundance of freshmen and sophomores. The flatly. general feeling is that this will be a However, there also appears to rebuilding season even though be an absentee problem which is Buffalo should finish with atjeast far more serious.

He commented, “If there’s an earthquake in Cornell and their right arms fall off, we’ll have a chance.” Last year, the Bulls were overwhelmed by both Cornell’s varsity and freshmen squads. Schwartz was relatively hopeful about the Bulls’ chances for the remainder of the schedule, Though he doesn’t expect Buffalo to match last year’s 12-6 record, he is confident that the Bulls will win more than they lose.

Thousands of rare, beautiful, old and priceless comic books will be on view and on sale, as dealers Although overshadowed by Watergate and the Middle East crisis, the issue of amnesty is slowly coming to the public’s attention. A small but enthusiastic group of people gathered at the United Methodist Church in Kenmore last Wednesday to hear the amnesty issue debated between J. Edward Cuddy and Richard Scott. Dr. Cuddy, a professor of History at Rosary Hill College, argued in favor of total, unconditional amnesty for war resistors. Mr. Scott, a lawyer and former captain in the Army, favored amnesty only for those willing to perform alternate service. Morality question Dr. Cuddy’s argument centered around the war’s morality. Most Americans have come to realize that our involvement and activity in Indochina was of debatable morality, Dr. Cuddy explained. Noting that the legality of the war has been raised in many circles, he asked; “Is it right to punish those who believed the war was wrong several years ago?” He strongly advocated total amnesty, arguing that the best course of action would be to forget the differences of the past and work constructively to heal the wounds of the war. Mr. Scott, who served a tour of duty with the Army in Vietnam, argued that those who decided not to fight in the war and took it upon themselves to break the law rather than be inducted into the Army should now be willing to pay the penalty for their actions. References were made to past instances of civil disobedience involving men like Martin Luther King Jr. and Ghandi, who, Mr. Scott pointed out, paid the price for their transgressions. The issue of the war’s morality was the topic for much of the debate. Neither Mr. Scott nor Dr. Cuddy believed the war to be just, but they disagreed on whether that fact should have any bearing on the amnesty problem. Anyone who acted illegally by avoiding induction into the service was wrong in breaking the law, Mr. Scott maintained. ‘‘The morality of the war,” he said, “does not change the fact that the law was broken.” Weak Congress Dr. Cuddy, together with many of those attending the debate, discussed the legality of American involvement in Southeast Asia. Mr. Scott dismissed the argument of ai) illegal war by pointing out that Congress'“had, "at all times, the power to • end the war, but never exercised the option.” Both speakers made reference to amnesties granted in the past. Some form of amnesty has been granted after every war this country has fought. For the most part, these pardons were conditional and required the men to return to their units or perform alternate service. Total amnesty was granted to Civil War resisters, but not until 1899. Historical precedent exists for the form of conditional amnesty he advocates, Mr. Scott concluded. Dr. Cuddy emphasized the difficulties which has arisen from those limited measures, stressing particularly tjie inequity of the review board procedure to determine the fate of each resistor. During the amnesty hearings after World War II, 15,000 cases were reviewed with an average of three and one-half minutes allotted for each case. Displeasure with Nixon The review board envisioned by Mr. Scott would not determine each case on its own merits, but rather serve to determine which cases would be prosecuted further. This process would be designed to find those who were unable to serve because criminal charges were pending against them, and to insure they do not reap the same benefits as those who resisted the draft for moral reasons. Mr. Scott is opposed to total amnesty because it would imply that those who broke the law were right. The system he envisions “would not be punishing those who resisted,” he said. Instead, it would only “exact the service due by law to the country.” This viewpoint differs with the total amnesty advocates who want the government to forget the actions of those who dissented against what they consider an immoral war. The audience was receptive to both points of view and raised many questions to both speakers. Several people stated their displeasure with the Nixon Administration, because while the audience argued over various degrees of amnesty, President Nixon and Congress did not even seem to be seriously considering the issue. Both men,;were questioned on the prospects of success for the‘amnesty campaign; neither was overly optimistic. As long as those in exile and facing indictment insist they were right and the government was wrong, there is little chance that they will be granted amnesty, Mr. Scott believes. Dr. Cuddy expressed his belief that the issue would be resolved only when the American people were made more aware of the problem and Congress was forced to act. ' f . ” .. t, ' ■.

It is an overhead train station, and it may be built right in the middle of this campus. Within three years, if some people have their way, students and teachers in classrooms may have to divide their attention between the ongoing class discussion and the D train passing by outside the window. The amazing thing about the proposal is no one seems to know about it. Nevertheless, and despite the fact that an overhead station would affect everyone on the Main Street campus. Facilities Planning vice-president John Telfer has made no plans to conduct an open hearing on the subject. He feels an above-ground station in the center of campus would be an "excellent" location, for it would be close to academic buildings, and he prefers it to the alternate route underneath Main Street. While he views proximity to campus buildings as a convenient advantage, common sense dictates that the eyesore such a station would create, and the noise distraction for people trying to work or study (this is, after all, a university) far outweighs the saving of a short walk. ’ This is a reflection of an increasing trend in American life for important decisions that affect many to be made by few. The energy-conservation steps being taken by this campus are timely and needed, but one wonders why speed limits are cut to 50 MPH and people are asked to lower their thermostats while no curtailments are made err Gov. Rockefeller's limousine fleet or Mr. Nixon's fuel-costly jaunts to Key Biscayne and San Cremente 1n gas-gulping luxury jets. One also wonders where the government was for the last five years when it was clear a squeeze was coming; perhaps sky-high oil profits were too nice a sight to tamper with; far easier to ask the working-class slobs to make sacrifices. This, then, is why there is no open meeting: faculty would vociferously oppose an overhead station; many students with vivid memories of the noisy New York City subway system wpuld veto it as well. The_ "guarantees” that padded walls would cushion the sodhd from the outside is at best suspect; even if that were true, two, or three years of wear and tear and the rumbles and vibrations wilt get 4ouder. and ldlid5r‘.“The ito1&Td]Fy~6T‘tlTre ‘pjopps?ris~tRat, tRefe^isTa simple, available and preferable alternative:' building the train station underneath Main Street. Trains are meant to be underground, where they can best serve their essential rapid transit function but bury their noise. Above-ground stations are only being built in Buffalo where architectural complications render a subway impossible. That is not the case here; there is no sensible reason, except for the convenience of a few administrators, why students and faculty should be subjected to the sound-and-sight discomfort of an overhead rail line. If you agree, write tetters to this newspaper to unequivocally demonstrate that the people of this campus oppose an overhead line because a subway is a far better alternative. Rapid transit will be a welcome addition to Buffalo; an overhead campus train station will not. Speak up before your voice is drowned out by the next passing train.

I was muttering in this vicinity around the same time last week about about people not being easy on themselves. It was a general statement that a little self-tolerance might be helpful at times. A little too general, apparently, because I found it very difficult to remember what I had said when it might have proved useful. Played in a card game the other night.

What are you waiting for? Rally protests arrest of BSU’s Williams Representatives of the Black Student Union (BSU) and the Progressive Labor Party (PLP) rallied outside Haas Lounge Wednesday in support of recently-arrested BSU President Larry Williams. Mr. Williams was to appear in Buffalo City Criminal Court Thursday morning to face charges of disorderly conduct and resisting arrest. [The trial has been postponed until November 27 because Mr. Williams and his lawyer needed additional time to organize his defense.] The charges, resulting from a Campus Security check on Mr. Williams’ driving license oh October 24, “are a blatant case of political harassment by campus cops,” said PUP member Charles Reitz. There was no reason for stopping Mr. Williams, he maintained, relating the incident to discussions at “BSU meetings with Ketter on October 23 and 24“ in which “students demanded delayed EOP [Equal Opportunity Program] checks.” According to Campus l' 1 ' l' II ■ i "'W 11 1,1 "■ Spectrum Arts Staff ... ** ... Provocative and elusive, Lionel Abel’s new play it’s experience. It Chaff is not entertainment probes the depths of that peculiar insanity we label “being human.’’ As if reflected in an funhouse or perhaps more accurately horrof house mirror, the projection is enlarged, distorted, and horrifying; yet it speaks the unspeakable truth. Contemporary in setting, Chaff uses the cliched “generation gap" as its outermost shroud; it defines the shape of the play, but its significance is only secondary to the larger theme. A man and woman are hired to both middle-aged, both nameless observe actors who may, they are told, “try to do something crazy." the couple is to work together as a team to try to establish communication with the actors and prevent rash actions. The “actors” are sullen, disillusioned youths who meet regularly to disavow their connection with humanity: “There’s no hope of ever being right if you’re born human.” To achieve thier goal, the groups pump speed (methadrine) into their bodies at regular intervals. - - - - - Opposing stories After the BSU leader allegedly attempted to strike one of the officers, Mr. Kalisz declared him “under arrest.” When a second blow was attempted, a small tussle ensued and they both fell to the ground. Campus Security maintained. Mr. Williams was subsequently handcuffed and booked. In another account, Mr. Reitz said the BSU leader was followed by Security shortly after the October 24 EOP meeting. When he turned on Lisbon Avenue, his car was boxed in from the front and rear by two Campus Security cars, including one filled with police dogs. Mr. Williams was later “knocked to the ground by one cop and punched in the stomach,” Mr. Reitz said. Mr. Williams described the State University of Buffalo as a “micro-America” and charged the University’s Administration with “trying to squeeze blacks out of school. White middle-class students will be next,” he warned. ML Williams urged students to “work within the law,” although this would not protect them from, harassment. Despairing, the man turns to the audience with bitterness and says, “They think Oat what I say is part of the play The truth is obvious: it ir part of the play we are aU part of the play. Chaff opens with a statement about the loss of distinction between actors and audience. offstage and on. That is precisely its effect;one is led through Embittered Alan Their leader, Alan, is the most cynical figure in from group. His bitterness is derived the extraordinary sensitivity and acute perception. Unlike his followers who reject the society in which they failed, Alan is rejecting the society which has in which injustice and madness are itself failed sanctioned under the guise of “humanness.” His own decision to become a “senseless thing” is an idealistic - and moral rebuke. All the conventions are there: the man and woman as parent-figure/superegos; the “actors” as misguided/peer-pressured youths. The caricatures are simply that predictable, paper-mache, and trite. However, at the point of boredom with both characters and plot, the play takes a sudden profound plunge to gut-level. The disciples conspire to kill Alan. What was merely a game for all becomes a serious crisis. The very core of humanity life is - - — — threatened. Despite their claim to “humanness,” the man woman have been least animate, of all the characters. As if suddenly woken, they spring from two-dimensional to 3D, like a top-hat popped into shape. Their atteippts to influence the youths are repeatedly frustrated’as they become, at last, frantic^ and - devious, illusive evaluationsof themeand characters, only to find that truth slips .further and farther away. Reality has been deftly kidnapped. One m forced to examine the relationship between fiction and non-fiction, theater and fife, inanimate and animate. Like the man and woman, one enters the theater glibly, confident that one poaesscs “the answers.” Gradually, everyone is drawn into the national pathways of futility and delusion. The bounds separating the couple bom the youths begin to dissovte as the former run headlong into desperation; here roles are, in essence, exchanged. We are placed on a stage, our lines ate written, yet there is always a sense of our goals defined Beyond; somewhere there is meaning to the crazed machinations of human experience. We strive to grasp yet we dread the understand, to consequences. We arc in constant flux between the roles of actor and audience. We arc as insensate in our puppet-iyte actions and lame unoomptehensioa as we are human in our independence and active search for truth. Blinded by their redes, the man and woman realize they must venture outside the former write in order to stop the murder. their own scripts Their reluctance to do so measures their inability to reach the youths. It becomes apparent that the relationship between the “actors” and the couple is symbiotic, destructive, and entirely dependent. At the climax, the couple braves the necessary sacrifice; this, however, does not resolve the conflict, it merely stops the violence. There is no reaohrtion, there is only suspension. The characters, action, and plot cease; the audience bears the crisis with them as they leave the theater. THIS IS IT. THIS IS LIFE: AMBIVALENCE HUMANITY. In short. Chaff has a lot to say; its scope is broad, its message prophetic. The quality of acting is varied with the characters. Most of them were good; Tom Matdirosian (Alan) was excellent. If you arc the type of person who is enraptured by the qneezy. qua si-masochistic disruption of Ingmar Bergman. Salvidor Dali, Franz Kafka, or roller coaster, go sec Chaff at Kenan Center in Lock port. It’s hard to get tluire, hiltwed worth it. t> - — — — = ■ I I Security’s report on Mr. Williams’ arrest, however, officer Gary Kalisz saw the BSU President driving his car and decided to “check hipi” because of a prior conviction for driving without a license.

It cries. It gets whacked on the bottom. From that moment on, the uncomprehending infant will be continually exposed how they to society's influences. First, of course, are the parents treat the baby, if they quickly respond to its cries, if they are warm and affectionate or indifferent. Within a year, the child is learning to walk, to imitate language sounds. Within the next year, the child is watching TV, looking at picture books, talking to friends, becoming a person. Quite soon he is going to school, spending time with a peer group, still watching TV, being punished by his parents, and going through the singular trauma of toilet training. The influences of society family, — — media, peers, education have embellished their message on his blank slate. They have molded his thoughts and values into a unique, distinct personality. These influences continue throughout adulthood as well. Whether we realize it or not, consciously- and unconsciously, societal influences shape our very way of thinking, both about the world and ourselves. The process by which society molds and shapes human minds is called socialization. In this issue of dimension, the feature magazine of The Spectrum, we have taken an in-depth look at the various processes of socialization. Socialization affects every aspect of our lives. If we don't understand how its pervading influences work, we become like mindless clay in the hands of a sculptor. We can be "bent out of shape by society's pliers," as Bob Dylan tells us. But if we carefully study its effects, we at least obtain an insight into how modern society shapes its citizens. And as citizens of an increasingly large and faceless corporate state, that's an insight we most definitely need. — Howie Kurtz Editorin-Chief WMfwatay, 28 Nowmbtr 1973. diimnsion. Pap thrr> �non-stereotyped show women." Commenting on the books themselves, she writes; "A good many just happen to have female protagonists, undoubtedly because females are 'in' now. Only a few of these girls are capably characterized and attractively visualized." Toys, books, advertising: and are led ies Where's the problem? Why do writers have such a hard time dealing with women? Partly because few people seem to perceive that a problem exists. The women's movement gained momentum only recently, and the effects of its impact are just beginning to be felt Much of the overt radicalism and conspicuous publicity which characterized all political liberation movements of the late sixties has now faded. But feminist groups are actively, if quietly, putting pressure upon those parties responsible for the sexist socialization of children. Joan NichoJson is the coordinator of the Task Force for Women in Media, which is affiliated with the-I mage Committee of the National Organization for Women. Referring to the extent of change so far in the media's portrayal of women, she said: "Thprg has not been very much change at all. Aside from small indications here and there, it is very stow to change." She is dissatisfied with the current state of the media; 'There is a blatant failure to understand the issue" by those responsible for programming, she maintained. Gloating over floor wax The National Association of Broadcasters, who set up the guidelines for television and radio programming, were recently challenged by Ms. Nicholson and the Task Force on their use of language in the guidelines. In the present code, there is very general treatment given to race and sex. The Task Force wants them to specifically address the issue of racial and sexual stereotyping in the media. The NAB has claimed that they "agree in spirit" with the group, but according to Ms. Nicholson, they "are not willing to go any further." Ms; Nicholson also described the censors who deal with broadcasting standards as "notoriously self-righteous." They simply claim that there is no problem. Women in the media generally continue to play the role of "side-kick," as Ms. Nicholson termed it. 'There are a poor number of women heroines doing anything other than traditional roles," she added. Television commercials are perhaps even more sexist than the programs themselves. Women are seen gloating over newly-waxed floors, and gleaming with pride over freshly-laundered clothes. Housework is not a chore for these women, but a delightful task which they accept with joy We see brides floundering around in laundry rooms and fumbling over pots, while the more experienced housewives hip them to the tricks of domestic life. Commercial after commercial, woman is shown hard at work with the single goal of pleasing her family. <e 00 to y Page avit oqs' One big fairy tale Or her men. If it's not household products they're selling, it's cosmetics. Soft music and exotic scenery surround her as she takes baths with skin softeners, or washes, dyes and conditions her hair, or moisturizes her skin, or paints her face, and on and on and on. Making oneself beautiful is oh so sensual and pleasurable; almost as much fun as making lunches for the kiddies or dinner for their daddy, after cleaning, scrubbing and shopping all day long. Domestic life in the media is one big fairy tale come true. Little girls just live for the day when their prince will come charging into their lives and sweep them away to a split-level house in suburbia. They can hardly wait to wear make-up and change their hair color. But the pity of it is that many of these girls will grow up trying to live up to these roles, and will suddenly find that someone lied to them. Doing the laundry and cleaning the oven will turn out to- be one big drag. Making oneself physically attractive will prove increasingly �i difficult after spending so much time doing housework. And for those children whose immediate fives contradict what the media presents to them as reality, the problems are that much j greater. I middl ' p jz p — p Masculine soup With so much attention focused on women, the masculine stereotype is often ignored. Many advertisements, however, depend on the public's acceptance of traditional male roles. Strength, i intelligence, and a lack j of emotional reaction I characterize the male 1 in the media.

(The women get to test out the coffee.) Campbell soups has invented an entire line of soups for men: ‘The Manhandlers": hearty, beefy, chunky soups, so masculine. Tobacco companies also prey upon the 'sexy loner who can attract the demeurest of females simply by offering her a Tiparillo. Men serve one more function in television and radio commercials, and that is to reconfirm and explain what the women demonstrate. They are the voice of expertise. Actors sit behind desks in white coats and the public, especially children, accept them as authority figures. They are doctors, the lab technicians and businessmen who supposedly really know what's going on. Male announcers always have the final word, despite the nature of the product. Miss Suzy: helpless These are the ways in which the adult world is depicted to children. The schools, too, aid the process of perpetuating such sexual myths. Most children's books outdo the TV commercials when it comes to presenting the sexes. "Miss Suzy” is the of one book found on the shelves of a children's library. It was written in 1964 by Miriam Young and published by the Parents Magazine Press in New York. And it is flagrantly sexist. Here Is a short synopsis; Miss Suzy is an innocent little squirrel who lives alone at the top of an oak tree. She cooks, cleans and sings, and aside from that, doesn't seem to do much else. But one day, the cruel world invades her niche of stability, when a band of red squirrels (the bad guys) drive her from her home, sadistically breaking her broom and eating all her acorns. Suzy is left to combat the elements as she is left alone in the forest. She soon stumbles upon an old house where she finds a doll house in the attic. Suzy enters cautiously and the first thought that springs from her housewife mentality is: "My, what a lovely house! It is fit for a queen. But it needs a good housekeeper, so It is just the place for me. It must be good to feel needed every time you see a little dirt and disorder. Suzy requires no food, no companionship, no mind stimulation, just a mop and a broom. " Male machismo Upon further exploration of her new dwelling quarters, Suzy discovers a band of toy soldiers hidden in a box. Suzy invites them to share her new home. But Suzy is still unhappy because she misses, her oak tree, so she proceeds to inform the soldiers wrong the committed against her. The captain and his men set off to avenge her. And with noble gallantry, the captain finds the red squirrels and proclaims: 'This is Miss Suzy's house, will you go peacably or must we fight?" Scared out of their wits, the red squirrels furiously make their escape, while the soldiers never life a finger, let alone a gun. So Suzy gets her house, and some new friends, and they all lived happily ever after. Woman the homemaker; man the protector. Is that the way God planned it? What happens when a parent or teacher wants to offer children literature which is of a more realistic nature? In the past year, many organizations have been working to compile lists of non-sexist books for children. The Women's Action Alliance at 370 Lexington Avenue in New York City is They are currently entire program with a non-sexist approach to early childhood education. Their materials include toys, games, books, records, as well as suggested reading lists and curriculum guides for adults. Descriptions are available upon request and hopefully, by September 1974, the materials themselves will be generally available. Other organizations which can be contacted for non-sexist learning tools are The Feminist Press (SONY at Old Westbury, Box 334, Old Westbury, N.Y., 11568), The Feminists on Children's Media (Box 4315, Grand Central Station, New York, N .Y., 10017), Action For Children's T.V. (46 Austin Street, Boston, Mass.), National Organization for Women (641 Lexington Ave., New York, N.Y.) and Ms. Magazine (370 Lexington Ave., New York, N.Y. 10017) which runs a section entitled, "Stories For Free Children" every month. one such developing place. an Dolls and trucks The toy manufacturing industry is another area currently under attack. This group, however, appears to be interested in modifying their products to accommodate changing values. The Association of Toy Manufacturers, who represent 900 toy manufacturers across the country, meets annually every December in New York City. The Association came to Ms. group Nicholson's and asked them to make a presentation on sexism and toys at the next meeting. Ms. Nicholson has agreed, but remains skeptical about the motives behind their request. The toy manufacturers claim that "they are socially aware that a problem exists." Ms. Nicholson, however, thinks economic factors may have provided the motivation. By taking the sexual stigma off certain toys, the manufacturers 'could enlarge their market and sell more toys. The manufacturers maintain that "economics is not the issue," but Ms. Nicholson has said that "this doesn't sound right to me." Image the Ms. Nicholson and Committee are concerned with the packaging and advertising of toys. They want to "get away from pictures of little girls and their dust brooms, and boys with mechanical sets." While girls' toys have traditionally emphasized cosmetics and domestic tasks, toys for boys are more complex and more interesting. Items such as chemistry sets show girls in the background watching, while the boys do the work. Enlightening the kids The Women's Action Alliance has developed several toys which discourage such restrictions. They now run four day-care centers in Manhattan which use these toys. Children can play with six-inch figures on wooden stands of both men and women in community roles, such as police, postal workers, nurses, doctors and carpenters. The figures are also multi-racial. There are puzzles which show men and women in non-stereotyped roles. Fathers are portrayed while involved in domestic duties and child care responsibilities. In addition to these innovations, the Alliance has developed lotto games, flannel board sets and photographs which are non-sexist. Barbara Sprung is on the program staff of the Women's Action Alliance and is playing a big role in the development of educational programs. non-sexist Questioned about the effectiveness of the new materials, considering the numerous sexist influences the ' child encounters outside of school, she recommended that teachers have children focus on these things, urging them to “use the media as a curriculum tool." Ms. Spring suggested that teachers point out that the women on floor wax commercials are merely actors, and are smiling only because they are making money, not because of the shine on their linoleum. "It has been proven that pressure really works," she said, and further suggested that children write to advertisers and television stations to protest sexist broadcasting. "Children must learn the politics of pressure," Ms. Sprung asserted, "and be made to understand that this is how things get done in our society." Expensive crusade Pressure politics may work, but justice is an expensive process. Ms. Nicholson claims that each time a broadcasting company is challenged, the legal expenses can run as high as $10,000. First, the FCC must determine to hear the case. If the charges are deemed valid, the case is brought to court. The legal grounds which the feminists base their cases upon relate to of employment discrimination, "lack ascertainment of community interest," and a federal law entitled the Fairness Doctrine. This doctrine states that public communication channel?, regulated by the FCC, must show two sides of a controversial issue. The problem here is that the NAB evades this point by refusing to acknowledge sexism as a political and social issue. Sort of like Catch 22, isn't it? Change isn't easy. The past decade has taught us that. This is especially true when it applies to changing something so basic as sexual role patterns. But if men and women are ever to reach their full potential as human beings, we must break free of the old restrictions and rigid sex stereotypes which inhibit growth. Children have been denied choice for too long. Today's world calls for more than simple role-playing by its population. There is nothing to lose, and only freedom to gain.

On TV situation know there is nothing we can do. to change things. When comedies, this "agrahumor" is often trotted out and TV was live, while there was nothing we could do, at least everyone squirms. What's agrahumor? Well, let's say there was some feeling of immediacy. Now, there is none. My guess is that this effect has taken its toll everyone knows that the hero (we'll call him Darrell) has "How?" yoy say?

She invites Darrell, much to his surprise, to go with her to the game Saturday night and hints that they'll go up to her place later on. Without thinking, he agrees. When he appears on TV, we know he had rehearsed what he is going to say, and that he has been preparing for this speech for days. The show may be "live," but it might as well have been taped. Everything seems so remote. We feel, again, that there is nothing we can do. Now, here's where the agrahumor comes in. Darrell Watch it, Joe! now has two important commitments for Saturday night, After years of watching over-rehearsed stories on TV, but he doesn't yet realize it.

It's not so much that that opportunity to notice him. (She is under orders from a script-writer, that's why.) Our realizations seem humorous to us, but we are aggravated. also From experience we know that there's trouble brewing. In our minds, we deduce the horrible consequences of Darrell's thoughtless act. But, even more so, we sense that we can do nothing about it except to wait and see and, right, squirm. (Stay with me, folks, I'm really going someplace this time.) THE TU ... Immediately, the excitement, the immediacy, the succeptability to viewer-response of the hearing* were put in question. That one statement might have been a big reason why people stopped viewing and turned to daytime soap fare. The hearings were no longer special. They were predictable. Hmm ... ... . Just George and me In my TV childhood, there were reruns of the Burns and Allen program. Sometime during every episode, old George would isolate himself up in his den and start talking to the audience about the events of the plot. Then, when he would return to the story's action, I felt great. It was as if he were acting on my behalf, under my orders. We had conferred in the den so when he went back to the story he was doing things we had discussed. I felt like a participant. Sure, it was bogus participation, but it was better than none at all When, in the later Dobie Gillis program, Dobie would talk things over with the audience in the park near a statue of The Thinker, I had the same feeling. Realizing this, it does not seem strange to me that these two ostensibly different shows were among my very favorites. I felt I '$A one such rare thrill. I went to see Three On a Match (a silty game show) in New York. Sitting in the studio audience, I had a sensation of bizarre power.

Meanwhile, we see Robin the hood across the.street from the phone booth waiting for Mundane with all the guns in thp world, ready to blow him to smithereens before he can even get a dial tone.

But these days, we are so aware of the forms of film and TV that no one even claps at the end of filmed shows. Youngsters (reared on TV) literally have to be told to clap if they are taken to a rare live performance. Now adays, when we laugh at the actors in films, we laugh not for tho at R dantiesthy remote As long as films and TV flourish, the juggernaut of political powerlessness will continue. A medium like TV, with its potential to inform and entertain the masses, also works to alienate them into apathy. When a live speaker is heard, this juggernaut slows down momentarily. instance, For when William Ruckelshaus came to campus, his speech kindled in many observers a glimmer of hope that maybe something the audience might do could affect the political process. This was because for once, something the audience might do could affect Ruckelshaus A jeer or a cheer from the peanut gallery provoked a reaction from the former high official. Such a rare encounter with a real squirm. Unmoved movies Clearly, in the live theater there could (and can) be contact between actor and audience. This is impossible on TV or in films and people have come to realize that. In the early days of film, an actor might have been directed to pause and respond to expected movie-house hissing or impossible home. - In the old days (when were they, anyway?) folks used to rather seriously hiss the villain and cheer the hero in movies. These audiences had been trained by live plays to respond to and to expect a response from the actors. If you hissed the bad guy in a play he might twirl his moustache and gnash his teeth at you. In Peter Pan, it is the audience's applause that saves Tinker Bell's life in the second act powerful. Today, these thrills are far and few between. Even much of the laughter is canned. Last summer, I had power live political events seem unreal, just unapproachable. We may rise and scream at the small screen, but it is mostly ironic ranting. We know it is wasted except for our friends in the room who hear us. Martha Mitchell almost single-handedly destroyed public interest in the Watergate hearings this summer. When opponents of the investigation were bemoaning what terrible things the hearings were doing to the country (in the hopes of getting them off the air), Martha came out with a statement that said exactly the right thing to discredit the investigation. She said precisely what the interested viewers did not want to hear; she remarked that the hearings and the testimony were "rehearsed like a play." made many listeners feel mighty. That was a man up there talking, not a boob on a tube. The force of TV and film may be just too much for rare, live, in-person speeches to have a lasting effect. Ironically, a commentary on a TV news program demanding an end to apathy encourages apathy by just existing. In Orwell's 1984, TV sets with officials behind them who observed and eavesdropped on the viewing audience helped destroy democracy. In America, TV and films (called the most "democratic" art) may, as a strange side-effect kill democracy by encouraging its opposite feeling —'complete detachment. When Big Brother is not watching at all, things may be pretty desperate. Squirm again. Wednesday, 28 November 1973 dimension. Page nine . �The professionals: by Sparky Alzamora "Does yoOr father ever analyze you?" I have been asked this question more times than I care to remember. I feel no twinge of pride when I tell friends and friends of friends that my father is not merely a doctor, but a PSYCHIATRIST as well. Of course this immediately sets off a fury of questions relating to my own sanity and my family's economic background. This special awe, held by many to be essential in raising the professional worker above all others, puzzles I have never aspired to be than a common radio more anything My brother, having jockey. or disc announcer Georgetown Medical into been accepted feat), turned is no small down (which School up of plans gave and all acceptance his following in my father's footsteps. Our lack of mystification for the professional could be blamed on our father, since Dad has always been "Dad" and not Dr. Alzamora. Personally, Make like Oad .A L L i , -\ 1 M ■ Em’-' Most children, however, will become interested in some line of work associated with their parents' occupations. According to Curt Mettlin, assistant professor of Sociology at the State University of Buffalo, the child might learn about professions by either observing models of behavior, or by having the nature of the world defined by others. (Parents are perfect examples to follow or identify with at an early stage of development.) The amount of contact or exposure one has with a member of a vocation will have a great deal to do with his interest concerning that line of work. The child who has seen the mailman nearly every day of his young life (and who has never heard of the practice of law) might want to grow up to be a mailman Parental influences will naturally'prejudice the child. For example: "My daddy's a baseball player and I'm gonna be one too!" There might also be a negative reaction to an opinion given by a parent; "My mommy says that TV repairmen are crooks; I'm not going to be a crook when I grow up." Professionalization Only when children are exposed to other sources does this parental influence shift. Dr. Mettlin was involved in a case study in Iowa where the occupational aspirations of school were observed. In this study, the children �an American aristocracy teachers defined the educational and occupational goal for the students. With new models and structural definitions to guide him, the child is able to decide for himself what will be the most realistic goal to pursue in the years ahead. Those who ultimately decide to enter the practice of law or medicine will experience some transformation in professional school. For some, the transformation will be slight; but if a student's personal background is at great variance with his current environment, problems may arise. If a student's parent is a physician, the student has already been well-professionalized. Professional socialization has to change knowledge about one’s self. Dr. Mettlin stressed. A student must have a certain ability and a sense of authority acquired in school. Only after the student realizes the institution is a more powerful force than he, can the institution act to shape and influence the individual. personal The 'pro' The criteria of a professional has been pretty much determined before the student becomes a doctor or lawyer. People outside the professional circle already have their preconceived notions of what they expect from the "American Aristocrat." His is an expertise; based on the occupation professional is the best at what he does. With a set salary for the service he provides, he is not involved in making a profit. Professional work is a full-time activity, but because it is of an autonomous nature, the professional is answerable to no one but himself. The existence of a professional code of ethics is the Good Housekeeping Seal in which the public must place their trust. This criteria may not be difficult to follow, but dedication is an absolute must. Any shirking of responsibilities could mean a loss of faith by those who hold the professional in high regard. are made, the concept of class hierarchy working-class factory slobs, blue-collared civil servants, highly-touted corporate executives is inevitable. — - Who's that doctor? Finally, the process of mystification will generally come into play. The public's perception of a doctor or lawyer is generally about the same. The professional steps into a stereotype; it might also be referred to as a "front." A man dressed in white and carrying a black bag is probably a doctor. Someone leaving a courthouse, wear ng a gray flannel suit antjcarrying an attache case, is most likely a lawyer. Once again, the professional cannot escape his image. He may either strengthen or refine it, but he can hardly denounce the factors that have given him his high status. And as Charles A. Reich notes in The Greening of America: "In a world where men are recognized only by their credentials, to lose credentials is to cease being a human being." Are law and medicine the only practices that can be characterized as truly professional? At the very least, they serve to act as a prototype for every other occupation. Dr. defines as professionalism Mettlin a "continuum," that is, there is a varied degree of inherence to the professional model. Titles Evidently, a worker from any other would like to be considered a professional since the word means "well done." Might there also be less ambiguous yet similarly important classifications in the United States? Nurses and pharmacists might be considered marginal professionals, since their training and criteria is not much different vocation from the professional's. Americans have always looked up to the professional breed of men. Now that lawyers may also use the title "Doctor," the only way to distinguish the difference between the two prototypes is by the service they perform. Professionalism has three distict functions, My father (the PSYCHIATRIST) becomes according to Dr. Mettlin. First, it provides irritated when people call him "Mister" instead of "Doctor." He feels professionally slighted when the non-professional does not give him the respect he unconsciously demands. I have mechanisms by which the standards of work products can be judged. Certain high standards must be met in order to keep the professional banner at full-mast. Professionalism provides a moral division of labor. There is a clear dividing line between the professional and non-professional; the professional naturally assumes a position of prestige and authority. Once these distinctions him that people are so used to "Mister" that the transition is difficult to make without an effort. As a matter of fact, not everyone believes my father is a doctor. After all, a psychiatrist's children are the most neurotic, are they not? to keep reminding We^^aipd&«Mov«n»t)y6riA?iliSMtinTBMM9iniBagfld9ls«ull �fascinating terminological problem develops. What do you call your bedmate? In Linda LeClair's day, "boy/girlfriend" seemed adequate. Now it isn't but "husband/wife" obviously, will not do and “common-law husband/wife" is even worse. After a certain age, the hip casualness of "old man/lady" is bad and God forbid we commit ourselves enough to call each other "lovers.") Some years before, a movie was made starring Sandra Dee and Dean Jones or, if not them, some other of the blonde, look-alike surf-curh-campus Hollywood teenage idols from the days when a tub of hot buttered popcorn and a chocolate bar cost 30 cents and could be eaten without ravaging our pre-pubescent complexions.

Of course it was all absurd, but one can see a clear connection between the fantasy life of Sandra and Dean and the real-life Ms. LeClair. The issue wasn't sex or lack of it. People have shacked up, sometimes openly, for centuries and it is even common now for people of both sexes to live together platonically. The issue was sexual politics, cohabitation as a political act. Though Ms. LeClair is a central figure in the "Sexual Revolution,' Sandra and Dean were the fundamental sexual subversives. Now, however, Linda LeClair is dead at least and Sandra Dee's figuratively and from her ashes rises the new statesman of sexual politics Linda Lovelace. One gets the feeling that all of this does, in fact must, mean something. Somehow, we can't help believing a major change has occurred from Dean Jones pumping his body up and down on the floor to Linda Lovelace pumping her head up and down on somebody's cock. - — — — — POLITICS AND PROTEST the ’50s by Clem Colucci Most talk about the alleged return to the '50s concerns politics and protest. With the end of The Riots, Why Are the Campuses Quiet? becomes one of the Great Questions of Our Time. Answers range from the Kent and Jackson State murders, to the slowing down of the economy and its resultant job pressures, to simple apathy. Some call it a sell-out to the Establishment; others call it cynicism, still others call it common sense. I don't know what it is, but I know what it is not. It is not a return to the '50s. Both the '50s and the '70s are distinguished by a lack of violent political activity, both the '50s and the’'70s see Richard Nixon in the White House. The analogy is compelling, but it is false. RELIGION "If you liked the '50s, you'll love the '70s," the commentators and say. Columnists, cynics pundits-at-large try to analyze the so-called "New Mood" among American Youth. Joyce Maynard is gOut making it and James Simon Kunen has written in The New York Times. Dylan did a western and Elvis still packs them in. Just what is going on? The conventional wisdom is that capital—V Youth is returning to the roles they played in the passive, careerist, conformist and what have '50s yOu. Nonsense. The proposition that the roles Youth are playing after the rebelliousness of the '60s is a regression to the '50s is bilge, resting on a superficial understanding of what has happened. To see what is really going on, we will examine the role of Youth through some capsule social histories of sex, politics, religion, drugs and other phenomena in mid-century America. — SEX Remember Linda LeClair? Of course you do. She was the Barnard oo-ed who scandalized her elders and won the admiration of her peers by moving off-campus to live with her boyfriend,, a Columbia undergraduate. (With cohabitation becoming more common, a Can anyone in 1973 still believe that people cared enough about a 70 year-old celibate's opinions on sex to get outraged over Humanae Vitae? F rom the religious quietude of the '60s through the activist religious concern of the '60s to the apparent religious quietude of the '70s (the utopian religious revival movements are at best a marginal phenomenon), religion seems to have come full circle. (For obvious reasons, I will concentrate on the discussion on Catholicism.) Religion in the '60s was one endless discussion group lad by countless right-on priests who you lust know had a picture of John Kennedy next to the crucifix. You remember the right-on priests, don't you? Concerned, with-it, sincere and, above all, relevant. They strummed folk songs on the guitar. They said the traditional service was mechanical and impersonal. They read Harvey Cox. They idolized John XXIII and held out real hope for Vatican II and the ecumenical movement. And they would discuss anything arid everything and never Stop. Last year*, this writer got to se# it *11 again, attending a wedding straight out of 1963. A folk wedding (remember the folk mass controversy — — - �guitars in church, good God!), a priest who looked and sounded like JFK, a Papal blessing that sounded like John XXIII, not Paul VI, and Bacharach and David tunes sung by someone whose vocal talents proved she must have been a relative. The old ceremony may have been politically unacceptable, but it was at least good theater. In contrast, organized religion in the '70s is a matter of profound indifference to the mainstream of American Youth. It is habitual; it is laissez-faire. No one would think of arguing over it anymore. De gustibus non est disputandum is the rule. the’60s DRUGS A veteran member of the drug scene, someone who smoked before it was fashionable, once told me: “Bah, everyone smokes now." He spat it out with the contempt of an aristocrat who sees a poor boy attending his exclusive prep school on a scholarship. In the '50s, drugs were restricted to the poor and a small group of musicians, literati and intellectuals. In the '60s drugs hit the middle class and became another of,, the Great Issues. Now everyone smokes future doctors, lawyers and corporate executives. It is almost respectable and thus no fun anymore. — ROLE PLAYING AND OTHER FICTIONS sex, politics, religion, In all of these fields drugs and others we hadn't space to cover a pattern emerges. Though the late '50s and early '60s were a time of incipient rebellion, by and large it was a time of accepting the norms. At the risk of slipping into jargon, we can say the Youth of the '50s played a role of Acceptance. In the '60s, with Linda LeClair, SDS, right-on protests and Life cover stories on marijuana. Youth moved into a new phase. Not only did they violate the norms (which they always did when they could get away with it. Acceptance means only that they considered themselves violators); they defied them. The '60s saw the politicization of lifestyles. Violations were directed toward changing — - institutions. This role we can call Defiance. The '70s see the institutions battered but standing. They are, however, dead horses that few people seriously want to waste energy beating. But the Youth of the '70s does not accept the norms as its predecessors in the '50s did. They no longer defy them; they simply refuse to take them seriously. The institutions are so clearly invalid that reforming them takes a place on the agenda somewhat below designing a more rational typewriter keyboard. This attitude we will call Irreverence. So, whether you like the direction Youth is taking or not, .at least you kpow what it is. Don't confuse it with the '50s. The '60s really happened, the rebellion had an effect. Sexual attitudes are looser; political consciousness is greater than jt has ever been; religion may not be all it could have been, but at least it it pot bigoted, the legalization of toft drugs is in the cards. The point of it all is that there may be some hope yet. the 70s �* £ '0>r ...-mm . Different languages, different perceptions have greet difficulty in distinguishing one kind of rice among 91 "Men who speak differently think others. However, the Hanunoo lacks the differently," many psychologists believe. knowledge to classify 92 types of In fact, they maintain that languages are automobiles. Linguistic terms therefore not merely arbitrary codes, but linguistic evolve in response to the demands and structures, which actually determine necessities of the particular physical, social or religious economical, perceptions and condition thinking.

Children younger than seven believe that when a given amount is poured from a dealing with sexual activities and feelings.

The English language lacks verbs to sexuality and uses the passive rather than the active tense in describing sexual acts, said James Serpiglia, clinical psychiatrist at Meyer Memorial Hospital. For example, he pointed out that the verb for fornication cannot take an object. "You can't say, 'he fornicated her,"' he portray mind the many different variables of a problem and appreciate how they enter in combinations. Convinced such developmental changes cannot be viewed independently of developments in the use of language, J5. Bruner said: “Language particular physical, economic, social or religious environment, communication that is crucial for maintaining human culture." Language also accounts for storage and retrieval of past experiences and allows people to combine, relate, and invent, noted Jones and Gerard. Language supplies a vocabulary of nouns and verbs to serve as labels for increasingly complex categories, they explained: “Rules of combining and using words to qualify each other are important in distinguishing similar objects." As a child learns to tort and play with perceived information, he applies more abstract rules for grouping into categories. For example, two physically dissimilar objects, a fly and a tree, are both seen as living. undoubtedly !• £ & - Q| f Ga.ll LV / r , - >• .

When children are occasionally discovered living in isolation, hidden in attics, usually illegitimate, fed quickly and surrpetitiously by-the mothers, their language ability, if any, is severely retarded. One such case was Isabelle, a young girl who was found in Ohio living with a deaf-mute mother. She could only communicate through croaking noises. However, after several months of care in a credited institution, she began to develop acceptable speech patterns. The uses of language are social.

The American vision of a Communist classroom is one in which students dress alike, blindly chant party phrases, and are injected with political dogma. Our way is the only way of life, they are told. The capitalists are racist, imperialist dogs. Textbooks are censored in accordance with the rigid party line, which the young generation quickly learns to parrot. Against this harsh stereotype, the American classroom is seen as one in which all points of view are espoused, students are encouraged to think, controversial viewpoints are examined. But this description is as inaccurate as the Communist stereotype. For American classrooms have a vested interest in krcializing the young to embrace the "American" way of life, to believe that ours is the greatest country on earth, to support democratic values. Our first graders may not memorize phrases from Mao's little red book, but they do recite the pledge of allegiance every day and sing songs like the national anthem and "My Country Tis of Thee." In later years, they must regurgitate a textbook-version of world history in which the USA does very little wrong. And although socialization to politics is a complex myriad of interacting factors, no one can deny that the school plays a higly central role. The youth groups attempt to occupy all of an individual's time, thus precluding alternative sources of influence or large blocks of time to think and question. In Taiwan, where there are few student protests, researchers found that students there undergo a socialization process that emphasizes security, resignation and passivity. In China, where creation of the Rad Guard actively involved youth in the Cultural Revolution of the 1960's, youth groups are effectively used to transmit political dogma and foster support for regime-level values. Do organizations like the Boy Scouts serve a similar, if less overt, function in the United States? This is debatable, but influences both in and out of school are designed to bolster feelings of anti-Communism and stress the virtues of democracy, political participation, voting and constitutional freedoms. While Dr. Jaros observed that "outright jingoism is probably on the way out," authority figures from teachers to camp counselors to scoutmasters may subtly convey support for democracy. Manipulating minds War not questioned "Politics in the modern world has sometimes been described as the battle for men’s minds," says Dean Jaros in Socialization to Politics. "Political behavior is governed by norms, consciences, beliefs and values." The institutions of our society, as in any society, are ruled by influential men with a vested interest in preserving the status quo. They do not want students to doubt or question our society's values. Such questioning is dangerous: it produces people like draft resistors and anti-Vietnam demonstrators. So the schools encourage mind-numbing conformity and the perpetuation of established norms and values. "Presidents are not respected, laws are not obeyed, taxes are not paid, political stability does not prevail unless people believe," Dr. Jaros observes. What role should the schools play in the socialization process? Richard M. Mereiman describes the alternatives in Political Socialization and Educational Climates: "Should the schools encourage life adjustment or uses of the intellect? Should they emphasize the acquisition of factual knowledge or the ability to manipulate ideas? Should they prepare students for college or for vocations?" And should they encourage automatic support for the system or a healthy questioning of its values? Certainly, these are = n»w questions. Various nations approach the problem differently. Totalitarian countries quite blatantly and systematically use their classrooms for the political purpose of encouraging support for the regime. In the Soviet Union, the state-run education and child-care systems "show Schools intentionally avoid frank discussion of moral issues, as a sizable portion of the public believes treatment of political and moral values should be left to the family. Fearing the hostility of conservative groups and protective parents, many teachers may teach to avoid pursuing controversial subjects. So a teacher may teach about all the wars this country has ever fought, emphasizing dates of battles and terms of treaties, without ever raising the moral question of war. This is just the way the rulers at the top want it: less questioning of the morality of war. more unblinking soldiers for the war machine. But unlike totalitarian societies, children here are exposed to alternative influences, such as the media. And so textbooks which glorify war may not hold much weight against the gore of nightly color telecasts from Vietnam. — «r^nai6awew$* ■v-x sw th« faith the Soviets maintain in the possibility of manipulating minds while they are yet young," Dr. Jaros explains. While formal schools advance the purposes of those in authority, party youth organizations such as the Little Octobrists, Young Pioneers and Communist Youth League are skillfully designed to instill loyalty to the regime. Red Guards and Bay Scouts Suparpewarful authority Socialization in this country consists of far. more than schooling; it includes family, pears and mass media. The first influence is, of course, the parents. Psychologists suggest that the young child views his parents as omnipotent and all-powerful, in control of the world; he might even ask them to make it stop raining or produce lost toys. Soon, however, ha realizes his parents are not the prime movers of the world; picnics gat rained out. snow prevents a trip. Dr. Jams explains: on pate IS— Wednesday, 28 November 1973. dimension.

Prestfant at God between hymns end netionei anthems, between flap and cremes, is obvious. Great sanctity can surround both redms" mpls'mr Or. Jaros.

Similarly, they hold a very positive image of their father. The child perceives his parents as all-powerful, since they are the dear source of all gratifications and punishments in his young life. Having no retaliatory resources of his own, being confronted such a superbeing is highly anxiety-arousing for the child, because of the superbeing's tremendous destructive potential. Since entertaining that this superbeing might have evil intent would produce intolerable anxiety, children love their parents and hold an elevated image of them. When the child becomes aware of greater superpowers in the form of political authority, the familiar anxiety returns. 'The response is similar; the child reacts to the supreme power of political he figures in the same way that he reacts to parental power elevates it and loves it to avoid the anxiety of contemplating its hurtful potential," explained Dr. Jaros. "Children literally must love both parent and President." Further, there is a cultural norm to shield children from harsh reality. Adults try to shield children from all manifestations of human conflict. Or. Jaros believes: "Divorce, lawsuits, crime and war are probably among the phenomena that tend to be whitewashed. Politics in general may well be. too." Youthful idealism and admiration of the President is eroded during adolescence, as the individual becomes more aware of abrasive reality and more cynical about politicians. Watergate has shattered many myths for young children about the sanctity of their government and President; one wonders if its effects may spawn an even younger generation of cynics. — - ' I'm poor, you're rich At age five, school, peers and media begin to compete with parental influence. Significantly, "children come to know quite early that they are boys rather than girls, blacks rather than whites, poor rather than rich, Protestant rather than Catholic or Jewish," writes Dr. Jaros. By the time an American child is six years old, "membership in the political community United States has joined the rapidly-lengthening list." All these distinctions may become blurred, as young children confuse religious rituals and patriotic exercises. 'The similarity 4*.

The present generation of students has been brought up along the lines of Cold War philosophy Russia is "the enemy," in cohorts with "Red" China, while the U.S. is the bulwark and staunch defender of the Free World. But in the present apt of East-West detente, of American cooperation with both Russia and China, it would seem to advance the cause of world understanding if objective truths about other countries were taught to the students who represent the next generation of political leaders. Instead, a recent random survey of area elementary schools, admittedly quite unscientific, has discovered many dated textbooks filled with Cold War anachronisms. — . the Far East, Sovietcontrolled Chinese leaders have seized China and encouraged it to attack its neighbors.

Updating taxis Of course it must be remembered that most of these texts were very old, and many probably not in use. But their Cold War doggerel underscores the need for vigilance regarding the material we expose impressionistic young children to. Early impressions and prejudices can last a lifetime. Fortunately, the Buffalo Board of Education is aware of this problem and makes yearly efforts to replace outdated textbooks with updated, modern versions. "We have ongoing textbook committees and we continually evaluate," said Joseph Murray, assistant superintendent of the Board. "A student/teacher committee reviews books in every field each summer. Of course, a teacers' cupboards may stilt have a few outdated texts, but we discourage their use," added Mr. Murray. On the specialized committees which review texts every summer, "we try to get teachers who are teaching the subject and students who have taken the subject," said Mr. Murray. 'They review what they have, what they don't like, and what they do like." These committees also review the lists of available new texts, and order new editions where they deem necessary. "We have not run into any funding problems," he added. "Books are being updated constantly," said Ray Fahey, director of Social Studies for the Board. Although teachers sometimes retain old books around the classroom, the annual committees are constantly picking out new books to order, he explained. "We try to order paperbacks as well as new texts to keep abreast of whet is happening," said Mr. Fahey. "However, it's also the teacher's responsibility to elaborate on material that's not in the book," he added. With things changing so fast in today's world, today's facts become tomorrow's fallacies. For this reason, the teacher's role in elaborating arid integrating new information with readings is even more important than ever before, Mr. Fahey feels. He added that the state presently reimburses the school system for the purchase of textbooks in grades 7-12. If Gov. Rockefeller signs a bill presently in legislature, that reimbursement practice will be extended to elementary schools as well. -H.K. i^WSKV �"Monty It like e sixth tense the other five without it" - end you cen't make use of Somerset Maugham, 1958 From the time a child is very young, he is taught that things cost money. Kindergerten kids are given a dime a day as an allowance so they can learn the value of money. "We can't get a color TV or go on that vacation this year like Tommy's parents, because we don't have enough money," parents explain. The teenager and his rapidly-expanding material needs quickly learns that it doesn't grow on trees. It's not money that is important, of course, but what you can buy with the green stuff. Rent, food, warm clothes instead of bartering for these essentials as in ancient societies, we use the all-purpose commodity of money. Vacations, college educations, televisions, cars, all these stereos and records, a guitar, a movie, a date things cost money. But in our capitalistic society, money has transcended its utilitarian value as a purchasing commodity and attained an intrinsic value all its own. — — Fat bank books Thus people who have more than enough money on which to live strive fervently to make even more money. A fat bank book seems to provide fervently to make even more money. A fat bankbook seems to provide that security too, but what good it it if one mutt spend thousands on protective alarm systems and still get robbed every year anyway? People at one time bought cars for their transportation value now a vinyl roof, power windows, bucket teats and color-coordinated seat covers are the main factors to consider. Once people have enough money to live comfortably, status becomes the new game in town using that money for extravagance, flaunting one's wealth. Those who sing the praises of capitalism and free enterprise ignore its crucial side-effect: that the impersonal value of competition for money has eroded, if not replaced, human feelings and interpersonal values. The result is a dog-eat-dog society where friends rip each other off, with everybody "looking out for Number One" because you can never trust anybody nowadays. The open values which are so essential to free enterprise competition have permeated our social lives so that our interpersonal values are capitalistic top. This leads to marrying for money, suing your husband for divorce for beating out everything he's got, soaking your your friends on an exam, social climbing, wanting to meet "Influential" people who can open the right doors for you. and false, transient friendships where when the — — — — acquaintance is no longer of any use to you, you discard Reducing human emotions to a game of Monopoly where the object is to stay out of jail and cream the other guy and inflate your money pile: this is the social result of a society which virtually runt on the green stuff. And if you're looking for the younger generation to change tilings, don't; they have embraced their parents' checkbook values, and even the ones who still pay lip service to the principles of equality do so while driving their air-conditioned cars and listening to their expensive stereos- Money is God in America, and as long as we continue to worship the dollar, we wif continue to conduct ourselves like petty capitalists: treating profit as The Goal, buying and selling friendships like rising or falling stocks, putting all cultural values up for sale. Nothing remains in America that doesn't make a profit: Christmas is commercialized: pleasure is fdsricatad; sex is for sale: craftsmanship and quality have been sacrificed for what wHI sell. So if you're wondering why America seems to be a land of depressed, compulsive, problem-laden neurotics, miybe it's because we are so socialized to money that we are incapable of enjoying any feeling or emotion that doesn't have a price tag attached to it. -H.K.

It is now common knowledge that athletes use drugs to build muscle and enhance performance. At its highest levels, sports is a big business run much the same as the production and sale of automobiles. Racism and sexism are as rampant in sports as in any other aspect of life. Obviously, sports is not to be worshipped as a savior for society and a bastion of unspoiled virtue. Nor should it be unduly condemned for the evils it may contain. The plain fact is that sports, of all forms and at all levels, cannot be separated from its environment. The negative aspects of sports do not serve to corrupt society; they merely reflect it. Sports certainly did not invent racism, even though it has not been much of an aid in destroying it. Racist players did not learn their intolerance from sports. Neither did racist owners, administrators and fans. But the physical nature of athletic competition served as a very convenient means to continue discrimination. The feeling was that a black needn't be intelligent to succeed athletically. Just as blacks had made good slaves on the plantation, they made good hired hands on the fields or on the court. dHaWnud pri mtdiMg They still couldn't marry the boss' daughter or live or play where they wanted. But sports, unlike slavery, provides blacks with the opportunity to become a star, much to the chagrin of some white fans. Jackie Robinson and the other early breakers of the color line certainly bore the brum of the most blatant racism, but it is still visible today in isolated incidents, such as the threats recently made against Henry Aaron and Reggie Jackson. Racial prejudice within sports began to subside only after both civil rights and black power became major political movements. t Similarly, the idea of equal athletic opportunities for women had lagged sadly behind the women's liberation movement until very recently. Previously, this society's ideal of housewife-and-mother meant not only keeping females out of the office, but keeping them out of the gymnasium as well. There have always been some activities commonly performed by women, however, because they were socially acceptable. One such activity, more show biz than sport, is where the female is subservient to the male teams in the role of morale booster, such as cheerleaders and baton twirlers in a half-time show. Secondly, the most popular women's sports have been those that are individual in nature and essentially aesthetically pleasing to the male eye, thereby fulfilling another of chauvinistic society's image of the female. Such activities as gymnastics, figure skating, tennis and swimming can be interpreted as an athletic extension of girl watching, emphasizing grace and style rather than the strength and speed that typify male athletes. Wtadini out the lames In sports, society has found an institution that not only utilizes the leisure time created by industrialization on an economically productive basis, but also supposedly builds character in the process. The research of some psychologists has found athletes to possess high degrees of maturity,' independence and competitiveness, generally considered positive values in our society. But they interpret sports not as a developing factor, but rather as one which weeds out the poorer specimens. Indeed, sports is a selective process far tougher than the road to any medical or professional school. Thousands of students will get into medical school this year, but only a few hundred rookies will make the pros in all the major sports combined. Millions of kids across the country play Little League baseball. Only Q00 men play in the majors. With a very few exceptions, those weak in character as well as those weak in body will be dropped by the wayside somewhere along the line. ., That American dream Nonetheless, the American dream persists: the idea that anyone can be President or play center field for the Yankees. Millions of kids from 6 to 15 play in organized age group leagues all over the country. The kids just like to have fun. The parents, however, like to see their kids win. They think the kids are learning responsibility, teamwork, pride and all those other wonderful things. Just ask any parent that has a child in midget football or Little League baseball. They'll tell you it's the best thing that ever happened to little Johnny, even if he can't stand the game, doesn't play because he isn't good enough, or gets kicked around because he refuses to hit back. Feelings of depression and rejection can be tremendous in an eight-year-old who doesn't play because his friends are bigger and stronger, or one who loses when winning is so all-important. Society interprets sport as a good outlet for natural aggressive and competitive behavior. This attitude fits well into a competitive free enterprise economy that places a high value on success. Is competition really natural, or does our society encourage ft? Sports Illustrated recently ran a series on sport in China.

Do we unconsciously behave this way toward anybody wearing a white coat? "Yes?" was all I answered 'The doctor will see you now.' There was nothing wrong with me. I felt as fine as someone in a doctor's office can feel. Bones in place. Let's see. In rising, I bent just a little too forcefully in order to take inventory. All fine tend dandy. I knew that any sample taken of me, including the silly urine sample, would reveal a body in perfect health. Doctors, with their probing hands and perpetual bedside manner, made me feel displayed. Simply talking to the fearsome, omnipotent medicine man would expose me to a flock of inspections and subtle detections. Walk right in the modern-day medicine man Through the flimsy, jack o' lantern door I ambled and down the brief corridor to a selection of other doors. Some of them were open, some shut, and some struck compromises between the extremes. "In here,” said a room, and I followed the advice. Washing his hands was a trpubled-looking gent in a white, smock-like affair with matching white shoes. I was impressed by the apparent casualness that he displayed in going about his work. "Don't sit down," he told me. Right away my worried eyes sought each chair in the room, expecting to see the slimy remnants of some gruesome experiment placed thereupon. But the chairs were just chairs, and I admit, I was disappointed. "Don't sit down; we'll go to my main office and sit there." He wiped his large fumbly hands. Then he placed his right hand against mine and the two hands shook. "How do you do? I'm Dr. Welby." I Cure me, doc Could it be they mean that the doctor has never overcharged them? Certainly not. It could be a judgment based upon the doctor's general reputation and bedside manner. An unclear notion of the likeability of the man could be all that they founded their assessment upon. Clearly, a doctor's skills are somehow more than all this. People form unsound judgments based on extraneous information. I have considered the possibility that the assessment could be based in relation to the doctor's success in treating the individual who makes the statement. That is, if Shell goes to a doctor with a wart on his right foot, and if the doctor succeeds in removing the wart and restoring Shell to relative good health and spirits, then Shell feels he has a good doctor. This is an unreliable way to judge a. doctor, since the maladies which inflict the average patient are of such a common sort that they do not really test the skill of a medical man. And, it must be remembered, owing to the peculiar style and disposition of each individual's body, that even the best doctor could fail I introduced myself and told him I did fine. "Walk this way," he told me, and I thought of an old to cure the simplest ailment in a given patient straight-away, and that even the world's worst doctor, in a given situation, could seem to cure a particularly rare and We found his cube of an office. He took the desk chair and I, after quiet deliberation, seated myself in the chair closest to it. The icy and antiseptic "hospital smell" waged a new war against my nose. I was helpless to fight it. That all-encompassing hospital smell is the surest sign that all is not well. My chair squeaked, but his did not* difficult sickness. So many people feel qualified to make the near-impossible critical judgments of physicians. And, when it comes to judging a film or a book or other spawn of the arts, even those who shirk at judging doctors, even the least qualified observer, feels up to the task of making some assessment. Hmmmm Still, I could not help feeling impressed by that garish display of Certificates adorning the office walls. Because of this childish notion, the citing of the doctor as a founder of a medical society helped to put my mind at rest. My confidence was short-lived, though, for I later got a chance to study the certificate more closely. I discovered that the society he had founded was, basically, a social dub which had been in existence for a grand total of two months. joke. My overlong legs jutted out and across the grassy floor pointing the way to the friendless chamber where the old doctor worked and sipped coffee between liver inspections. The pointless gla» partition that interrupted the panelled wall between our respective rooms was checkered with translucent sequins of variegated light patterns. Through this I could vaguely discern the rough shadow of a prissy woman in a bleached uniform. She spoke either into her left hand or a telephone. Then she put it down, threw aside the glassy partition and called my name. I found that it listed the doctor as a charter member of the Western Divisional Association of Medical Scientists. A FOUNDER. This impressed me in a vague sort of way. Not being even remotely aware of the skills with which a doctor must be intimate, I find it almost impossible to realistically evaluate the merit of this or that physician. People are in the habit of saying, "My doctor is could never discover just how these just excellent!" individuals who, as in my own case, have no real standards by which to judge a physician, can make such statements. closely, ... Perusing the awards He stood again and walked to a coat rack on the far wail. Majestically, on both sides of the rack, hung numerous diplomas and awards. One in particular interested me, as it was huge in comparison to the others, and its parchment-like paper was embroidered with all manner of printed golden ribbons. The words on it were written in high-flown language, and the style of the penmanship smacked of baroque.

They walked into Bobby's room and fell into the two heavily-padded black vinyl swivel chairs. Bobby snapped a tape cartridge into place and music blared from the speakers in the four corners. He turned the illumination knob on the wall and lowered the lighting by half. Then he fell back into his chair. “It was really a scenario today," Bobby said. "Definitely was," Anthony agreed. "A long, piayed-out one." They listened to the New Move, recorded entirety with different frequencies of the human voice. "Everyone was talking about your goal today," Anthony mentioned. "Really?" said Bobby. "Well, I'm a hero for a day." "For a season, I hope. I'd love to see you play on the video." "You're not alone." "I was talking to Joanna," said Anthony, changing the subject. "The one who goes to Hooton? Where did you see her?" "In the hall. We had a good talk." "How does it look?" "Real good. I'm going to ask her to cut school and come over my house one afternoon." "She won't cut." "She's almost thirteen, Bobby. She doesn't care. She'll do it." "Think she uses anything?" "That's her problem." They both laughed.

"I told you that you didn’t have to bring anything." "It's cool." Bobby took the other Two. He swallowed; his head rose, slowly at first, like a balloon, and then faster and faster, like a jet. The wind rushed through his body. Finally he leveled off, sailing like a bird. He raised his fist in the gesture of approval. "What a rush," said Bobby. "They're really good," agreed Anthony. "I wish my mother worked," Bobby lamented. "It's fuccin' great having the house to myself." "It must be definitely ungood having her around all the time," said Anthony. "Ah, she doesn't really bother me. She just sits around and watches the video all day. When my father comes home he talks to her about the office. When they have friends over, they sit around and smoke grass and watch the video. That's her life." "Sounds pretty sheltered," said Anthony. "At least s my mother meets people at work." Bobby shrugged. "The county assigned her to do phone work. She's like all the other wives who work at home hasn't experienced much. She's okay, I guess. I don't really talk to her about anything important." "Can't do any Threes with her around." "That* for sure." The New Move symphony had ended. Bobby put in another cartridge, and took two blue capsules from within a rolled-up sock in his underwear drawer. He tossed one to Anthony. "How long is it?" Anthony asked, checking the clock. "It's an hour," said Bobby. "We got these from Pete." "I knew they looked familiar," said Anthony, swallowing one. Bobby ate his capsule. His mind whirled; bright colors unfolded across the. room like silent fireworks. Balance yielded to a floating sensation, like a drifting leaf riding the air currents. He heard Anthony's voice, projecting from afar. It, too, sounded strange. The colors rotated wildly like a phosphorescent pinwheel. Anthony was talking again. Bobby tried hard to listen. "You should turn your Mom on to one of these," he was saying. Bobby laughed. His laughter echoed with the - music. "It would blow her mind," Bobby said.

Role definition In order for a society to exist as a functioning unit, certain roles, status positions, and "jobs" are defined and then filled with individuals. The first serious effort directed-toward this end can be seen in high school, where students feel their first real pressure to make a career decision. Grade schools, however, only direct people into general roles: male vs. Grad schools, however, only direct people into general roles: male vs. female; fast vs. slow; popular vs. unpopular. The first concerted effort to recruit individuals for preconceived job slots occurs in the high school experience. Higher education then finds itself cleaning up the spillover of those who were not ready, or refused, to be categorized. The college years coincide with adolescence, a time when the individual physically matures and begins efforts at becoming a socially-defined "adult." The individual is ripe for substantial influences from society through its educational system and accompanying experiences. Long periods of unstructured "play" time are still available. -Charles A. Reich in The Greening of America Failure needed Each year there are many drop-outs from the rocky educational ladder. Society could not survive without these drop-outs. It needs people whose motivation has been destroyed. This creates a class of citizens who will be realtively willing to perform the menial talks required by society. Society kills the The primary purpose of the university is to act as society's agent in socializing those individuals who have resisted all previous efforts. The aim of this socialization process is not to create identical Individuals, but to carefully cultivate differences necessary to assure the filling of basic “slots" required by the society for its functioning, and Page twenty-four. dimension.

The university becomes a holding tank for those who have successfully resisted earlier channeling efforts. Even when the university opens its doors to those who have previously succumbed, it strives to defeat them again. The University refuses to change its uniform structure to conform to people's different backgrounds. Assimilation becomes difficult if not impossible, and any remaining spirit and motivation is once again destroyed. Margaret B.

Public IQ scores Because numerous students have undoubtedly lost confidence as a result of similar experiences, the schools have begun to place greater stress on the individual student's progress, rather than on comparisons of students. This awareness may have led to the abolition of I.Q. tests, where each student's intelligence was numerically ranked on a vertical scale. Sometimes the scores were read aloud in class, to the embarassment and shame of those who were rated poorly. Joseph Manch, Superintendent of the Buffalo school system, explained his philosophy as one that emphasized the "development of the individual." Local schools are striving to improve an individual student's accomplishments, not in comparison with others, but in accordance with his own potential. Dr. Manch said. 'Too much competition can destroy certain children by making them feel like failures," he commented. "We must expand our efforts to meet the specific needs of students through programs of identification enrichment, counseling and guidance, and alternative methods of education," Dr. Manch stated in Goals 1973. "We believe in individual development... but we cannot forget that competition is a fact of life," he added. A fact of life.

One should not of course assume that paternal absence is necessarily the stepping-stone for a career as a mass murderer or assassin. Nevertheless, over the past 10 years, a significantly high proportion of criminally diseased individuals were discovered to have passed the first crucial years of life Without a father. The effects of father-absence range from minor disruptions in social and emotional to development "gross forms of psychopathology," according to E. Mavis Heatherington, professor of Psychology at the University of Virginia. Because most socialization theories emphasize the role in sex-role deviations, one of the most extensively-investigated consequences of father-absence has been the sex-role development of fatherless children. Stereotyped sex roles Sex typing. Dr. Heatherington said, "is the process by which children acquire the motives, values and behaviors regarded as characteristically masculine or feminine." Although some changes have occured in sex-role standards, she felt recant studies illustrated that both children and adults still maintain stereotyped traditional concepts of masculinity and femininity. "Males are expected to be independent, dominant, assertive and competent in in the dealing with problems environment," Dr. Heatherington surmised. "In contrast, females are viewed as more submissive, nurturant and sensitive in social situations." Studies have shown that boys reared by warm, dominant and masculine fathers are more inclined to be masculine themselves both in overt behavior and in preferences for sex-typed activities. H.B. Biller and L J. Borstelman found considerable disruption in sex-typing when the mother played a more assertive role in the decision-making process. Because mothers by necessity assume a more dominant, decisive and instrumental role in the fatherless family, these disruptions will occur more often when there is paternal absence. — Behavioral variability Children who became fatherless before age 5 have been described as less aggressive, more dependent and having less masculine self-concepts and game preferences than children whose fathers were present at the same age level. The extent of these abnormalities will depend on what type of support is available from relatives, friends and other father substitutes. Socio-economic status, race, presence of siblings and length of separation will also modify the disruptions in a child's upbringing. In some cases, however, boys whose fathers have frequently been absent since infancy will exhibit excessively masculine and assertive behavior. In their research on Norweigan families, where many fathers were sailors and had to be away from home at least nine months a year, DB. Lyn and W.L. Sawrey described this .“compensatory . iiuusiismai. catsi tbumttvuvi oi .ybcwuutmv Page twenty-eight. dimension.

Instead of acquiring a st*le masculine identification, the boy set of loosely-integrated acquires a responses caricaturing the stereotyped . masculine role. , Hyper-masculinity Similar studies have attributed the toughness and hyper-masculine behavior often found among lower-class adolescents to the increasing proportion of fatherless 'This exaggerated masculinity homes. reflects an attempt to compensate for the feminine orientation they have received from their home life," Dr. Heatherington noted. Father-absence has also been equated with tendencies to be more impulsive, less self-controlled, an inability to delay immediate gratification, high dependency on adults, and homosexual However, relatively little inclinations. disparity was found between father-absent and father-present boys after age 5. Psychologists have thus speculated that as they grow older, boys become increasingly aware of the greater status afforded males in society and develop a preference for the masculine role. have less Father-absent boys "well-internalized standards of moral judgment,” reports experimental psychologist M.L. Hoffman. 'They tend to evaluate the seriousness of an act according to the probability of detection or punishment, rather than in terms of interpersonal relations and social responsibility." The same distinction was not found in girls. Father-daughter relationship Although early studies yielded few conclusive results regarding the effects of paternal absence experiments on females, recent that the suggest father-daughter relationship may indeed have a profound effect on the girls' social development. "By providing experience and security in interacting with males and reinforcement for appropriate sex-role behavior in his.daughter, the father can be a powerful force in the shaping of feminine behavior," said Dr. Heatherington. Thus, while few differences have been found between f ather-present and paternally-absent girls in pre-school years (as is the case with boys), distinctions gradually emerge as age increases and become clearly present at puberty. Adolescent father-absent girls were found to have two marked disruptions in heterosexual behavior in research by Dr. Heatherington and Jan L. Deur, research consultant in the Madison, Wisconsin public school system. Their behavior was described as either promiscuous and "inappropriately assertive" activity with mate peers, or as severe sexual anxiety, shyness and discomfort around males. The latter syndrome appeared more frequently when separation was the result of the father's death, while the former was found when in a greater proportion divorce precipitated by was father-absence or desertion. Father absent girls have less opportunity to acquire "appropriate skills necessary for appropriate heterosexual father-absent children. Scores on Scholastic Aptitude Tests (SATs) were generally lower for students whose fathers were missing two or more years, reported Sutton-Smith, Rosenberg and Landy. Effects on mothers The loss of a husband can adversely affect a wife in her performance as a mother. She may become more hostile toward males, feel guilty about her behavior as a wife, or experience financial pressure. "Separation may [also] lead to a of self-esteem, feelings in lowering a as unattractiveness and inadequacy reliability the woman, apprehension about of others and resentment or ambivalence toward being forced into the role of a single woman burdened by children," according to Dr. Heatherington. "Whether this is a cause or effect of father-absence is unclear," maintained Dr. Heatherington. "However, the implication is that the children in these homes will be subject to a greater degree of stress than children from normal homes." These mothers may place more emphasis on obedience, politeness and conformity and less on encouraging masculine behavior in their sons. Despite the fact that many recent mass murderers hailed from broken homes, this obviously is more the exception than the rule. But growing up without a father does affect a child, and the more research can document these effects, the better equipped single parents will be in raising their children. interaction," Dr. Heatherington suggested Prior behav. or Thi marriage and familial to the father's departure relationships prior bearing on the have direct a will probably of the family's subsequent nature interaction. In some cases, conditions might even improve after the major source A of family conflict (the father) has left T.G Tuckman and R.A. Regan determined there are more clinical problems from separated and divorced homes than from widowed homes, a finding consistent with the interpretation that separation and divorce are usually more often precipitated by intra-family conflict than is the death of a parent. Similarly, an unhappy, intact home may be more detrimental than a home broken by divorce. Paternal absence occurs more often in homes of lower-class and black families, the same groups which are more often associated with lower academic achievement. Because father-absent children will also have significantly fewer cognitive skills even among the same race, Deutsch and Brown suggested the lower performance of blacks on IQ tests may be attributed to inadequate home conditions. In a well-controlled study, they discovered that fifth-graders from intact families performed higher on these tests than did fifth-graders who had been bombarded with the cumulative effects of father-absence. Children from homes where a father was not absent until after age 5 were found to be underachievers, but were not as severely hindered as early Wednesday, 28 November 1973. dimension Page twenty nine £\lst")9dm9voft 8S .viteenbaW . norgnemib tdgw-ytnawi �«*R Mw 4/VVv Ov '*''scsSSL % m /' /'r ; NSvyw -'/x ‘/^ smalt screen &/S Ws.

My message to you tonight is simple: we need impeachment now. With these words, Norman Siegal, representing the New York Civil Liberties Union (NYCLU), issued a plea for action Wednesday night to the 200 enthusiastic people attending a meeting for the impeachment of President Nixon.

Henry P. Smith, Congressman from the 37th District, is a Republican member of the House Judiciary Committee. That committee is presently investigating Mr. Nixon’s conduct in office and will recommend to the entire House whether it should vote for impeachment. The committee, with 21 Democrats and 17 Republicans, is presently voting along party lines. But the issue is not a partisan one, Mr. Siegal emphasized, and to persuade Mr. Smith, a Republican to vote in favor of impeachment could be critical. He urged students to become involved in the process and to write letters to Mr. Smith to inform him of student opinion on impeachment. , The external evaluation contained a number of internal contradictions, said Burton Weiss of College F.

Confidence restored A plan to “restore confidence” in the Collegiate system was Offered by George Hochfield, professor of English and next year’s Faculty-Senate chairman. He suggested creating yet another commission which would guide the Colleges through a “transition stage.” The Colleges “should not represent small platforms inhabited by tiny bands of zealots,” said Dr. Hochfield. The Colleges “belong to the University,” and should cater to the University’s goals, he added. In contrast, another person insisted that the University belongs to the students and should cater to their goals. The Colleges have generally claimed they are more interested with individual development than the University. Replying to a so-called “lack of confidence” in the Collegiate system,one College “I have great student confidence in my College classes.” Dr. Hochfield distinguished between the residential and the solely instructive Colleges, calling the residential Colleges “far and away” the most important. Five faculty members and one full-time master should be appointed to Hochfield —Olx committee member. With tenure so difficult to obtain, he added, many faculty would rather concentrate on research rather than volunteer their services to the Colleges for little reward. “The problem of obtaining faculty members,” one College member said, is “they have to work an overload with no extra pay.” The philosophy of the Colleges “non-academic,” said one College member. The goal of the Colleges is to help the students’ personally, he said. Claiming that all the compromises with the Administration have gone against the Colleges, he said reorganization will stiffle the innovative spirit of the Colleges. The problems of irregularities and abuses of the Collegiate system were recognized by the external evaluation as “part of the package" and must be accepted by the University, noted one College Z representative. Committee Chairman Jonathan Reichert said the committee has “interacted and will continue to interact with many factions of the University” before making its final report on the future of the Colleges, which should be is completed by early January. jgi advertising brought statement His enthusiastic applause.

This makes for a common world where common by Sparky Alzamora Spectrum Staff Writer If a college education is so necessary to insure a good salary in later life, why have income distributions for high school and college graduates become remarkably similar over the past few years? “Education: Are There Really Alternatives?", part of the Fenton Lecture series sponsored by the Office of Cultural Affairs, discussed these and other topics last Monday evening, in the Norton Conference Theater. The surprisingly large audience was welcomed by Robert Fisk, professor of Educational Studies, who introduced the guest speakers for the evening. They included Loren Baritz, Executive vice president of Empire State College; Harold Hodgkinson, Human Research and Development at University of California at Berkeley; and Maxine Green, professor of Education at Columbia University. The panel was moderated by Leslie Fiedler, professor of English at this University. Enrollment declining sense recipies explain why things happen. ‘There are a great number of realities interpreted in a particular cognitive style,” said Dr. Green. “Each experience from our own vantage point is located differently in the common world,” Dr. Green said. We take for granted that we are all inhabitants of an identical world, where all meanings are pre-defined. Those who think differently from the conforming masses are often thought of as “deviant, rebellious and often disadvantaged.” , If alternate methods are to be used, she warned, we must “work for the rejection of the world that is given.” Both teachers and students should be conscious of their own consciousness: “If teachers and students are submerged in a reality, they cannot question,” she stressed. ‘If students have lost touch with their own perceptions, teachers can work with students to pose all kinds of questions.” Dr. Green called educators the “custodians of objective reality.” Therefore, the individual must review his own perspective of bureaucratically-controlled institutions, said Dr. Hodgkinson began his lecture praising the State University of Buffalo for “rising above” the standards of its city. He said that alternatives were being looked for now because Of adeehmng market of college students. There will be a marked fall downward of 18-21 year-olds attending college by 1980. He explained; ‘These are not projections, 'we have a pretty good idea how many will go to college then.” Since 1968, college enrollment of high school graduates has dropped six per cent. ‘The commitment of our youth has changed,” said Dr. Hodgkinson. The current selection criteria for determining who has the talent to “make it” in the outside world is a “fallacy,” said the Berkeley professor. In a study completed last year, no relationship was found between grades in school and success in later life, according to Dr. Hodgkinson. “We can do better than our current grading system,” he commented. Credits only measured how many hours a student spends in class; a degree should not be the criteria for employment, he said. ‘There must be a better definition of merit “for describing the multiple talents of children, he believes. conservative and elitist, whereas content of the non-disciplinary form is shaped by the consumer, but “it is simply the other side of the same coin.” is an instrument of social change,” he together by ‘the educated man’ and “tied continued, own sake,’ and the products are either its learning for mass murderers or eat their mothers.” While borrowing the best of both the disciplinary and non-disciplinary bodies, the combined model has failed. •“Education As little as possible “Universities train people for work in the professions” which are naturally assumed to be doctors and lawyers, explained Dr. Baritz. But in reality, the meaning of the word “profession” is “any activity that provides money. Universities mean to teach the student as little as possible,” he commented. Vocational education is the model Dr. Baritz advocated because “it has everything to do with the particular ambition of the student.” Vocationalization threatens higher institutions of learning because Fenton Lecture Series Alternatives to education Alternative systems Dr. Hodgkinson described alternative methods to the usual system currently being employed. A network of small colleges radiating from one large university has been an experiment in several large cities, he said. The idea of an “education conglomerate” in which a college, a museum, a bank and other useful services are merged to create an entire mini-community is also a “definite although not an immediately forseable possibility,” he suggested. In addition to alternatives to departments and committees, he advocates the formation of a credit bank through which a running record of credit hours earned would be tallied. This would enable a student to leave school for a time without being penalized. Advocating individualized instruction for every student in college, Dr. Hodgkinson said the advisor was becoming a new professional role and could not be dismissed as lightly as it has been in the past. New course structure Changes in course structure were emphasized, such as one intensive course taken every five weeks. An integrated freshman program is another possibility, said Dr. Hodgkinson, proposing “an environment you’ll be invited to take part in.” The important thing to consider is the value added to each student, he said. Dr. Green admitted she was deeply concerned about “what’s happening to the consciousness of human beings.” Too many people take for granted what exists, she fears. Even racial discrimination was once considered normal or natural, she explained. Teachers have the responsibility to help the individuals alter the present structure of learning in colleges, said- Dr. Green. They should “arouse the individuals out of their submergence of reality” and “act in concert to remake their worlds.” Noting a sense of “powerlessness,” Dr. Green said educational institutions are bound to be a service of society, and therefore must bureaucratize themselves. ‘Inequities and injustice cannot be removed by the banishment of structure,” she said. The system must be transformed to create learning situations. “A changing consciousness thrusts toward and not away from the world,” explained the Columbia scholar. The world has been imposing patterns upon our experience, both perceptually and conceptually, she Spectrum.. Friday,16. November —Greenberg Dr. Green. Individuals should embarrass the institutions. define questions and “Alternatives must be continually created and act in concert to bring about a better state of affairs” was Dr. Green’s closing remark. •Only kidding' Dr. Baritz generated the most response from the audience. Sustaining a dry, comedic tone throughout his speech. Dr. Baritz described the three common functions of a liberal arts and sciences college; to teach the student to think, be critical, and live richer and fuller lives. He then said that he was “only kidding.’’ In an admittedly exaggerated fashion. Dr. Baritz described the two pure models of a liberal arts and sciences curriculum. The disciplinary form has a body of literature the student must master; the non-disciplinary form is for the student who learns, ‘Now then,” said Dr. Baritz, tongue-in-cheek, “the disciplinary model says the non-disciplinary model has no standards and the non-disciplinary form says the disciplinary fprm has no interest in students.” They are both wrong in their seif-perceptions, he said. Traditionally, the disciplinary form is culturally 1973. professional schools work just as well as graduate schools in this system. ‘The undergraduate curriculum should be openly vocational,” he said. He offered the student two-fold advice: find out how to earn a living, and find out what you need to learn. The central human problem is unsatisfying work, he explained: “Society demands people to be trained for work,” but there should be “more training of value-free technicians. Knowledge is its own reward,” he concluded. Debate discarded Dr. Fiedler, noting that he had learned something from the speakers, said it was impossible to hold them to their 20-minute time periods. There was to be a discussion between the panelists about the content of each lecture, but none of the three speakers ventured comments. Sooner than expected, the floor was opened to questioning. Due to the poor acoustics of the room; most of the questions were inaudible. Each answer was merely a reiteration of what had been talked about earlier. Only Dr. Fiedler added a fresh viewpoint: “The University is not an eternal institution... Well need another institution to carry on higher learning, but it may not occur for another five centuries... Let’s make it a little bit better now.” �News analysis BOU Wanted: by-laws committee Open university a new British idea by Gary Cohn Faculty-dominated Colleges could mean the end of many of its experimental programs, contend several College observers. Contributing Editor The future of the Colleges is on the line. For several years, the University has been evaluating the Colleges, both formally and informally, with little actual effect on the Colleges themselves. Reports have been written, criticisms have been made, recommendations have been advanced, but little has happened. The on-going evaluation by the Faculty-Senate Committee, however, appears to have transcended the empty rhetoric of past evaluations. Indications are that the Colleges Committee will act decisively in determining the future of the Colleges. The Colleges Committee was formed during a time of Collegiate crisis. The Colleges have been without a permanent director for some time now, and without adequate funding for even longer. Additionally, faculty distrust and student apathy towards the Colleges has been steadily increasing. Under the chairmanship of Jonathan Reichert, the Colleges Committee has actively and swiftly confronted their task of evaluating the Colleges and making recommendations to the Faculty-Senate. Dr. Reichert has worked diligently to establish the independence of his Committee and to assure all segments of the University community significant input into the decision-making process. However, several obstacles must be overcome if the Colleges Committee is to be successful. The just- released Open door policy? As the external evaluation stated: ‘The Colleges have the potential to make good use of those who lack normal academic credentials, but who nonetheless may have riches to offer.” At Tuesday’s open meeting, English professor George Hochfleld, next year’s designee as chairman of the Faculty-Senate, expressed his belief that all the Colleges should have at least five faculty instructors and a faculty master. The Colleges Committee must deal with Dr. Hochfield’s suggestion, and those of others, in an impartial manner, carefully differentiating between notions of faculty supremacy and definitions of instructor competence. 2) The Reichert Committee must operate openly in all phases of their work. Thus far, the Colleges Committee has actively sought input. But, they have not informed the University community of their thinking on specific issues. One Colleges Committee member explained that the committee would not issue any specific statements before its report is released to the Faculty-Senate. Although Dr. Reichert’s explanation that “it’s difficult to write a document publicly” has validity, even honest “behind-closed-doors” interaction may be seen as questionable by some ... — Schooling versus degree “The B.A. degree is of secondary importance,” reported Mr. James. Ms. Shane clarified that statement: ‘The emphasis is on schooling,” rather than obtaining a degree. $6000 external evaluation of the Colleges has been widely discussed and generally received favorably throughout the University. Keith Klopp, acting administrative officer of the Colleges said the external evaluators’ suggestions “were basically good” and Academic Affairs vice- The “life-long” idea of education is a “from cradle to grave” concept according to Ms. hane. However, it is a inning form of education” with “entry and exit” points, she explained. In this “open” schooling situation explained Ms. Shane, one “moves in and out of it through life,” just as “there are different opportunities which are open all through your life.” president Bernard Gelbaum termed the report “just and equitable.” Additionally, various members of the Colleges Committee had high praise for the report. The Collegiate Prospectus, a constitution of by-laws written at the Colleges’ inception, will expire at the end of this academic year. Therefore, the Faculty-Senate must create a new prospectus. Potential faculty bias In its endeavor to complete its work by January, the Reichert Committee has moved rapidly, often meeting several times each week. Dr. Reichert has actively sought input from both the Colleges and the Administration. He arranged for immediate publication of the external evaluation report, and held an open meeting of the Colleges Committee Tuesday to generate additional input from students, faculty and administrators. Several obstacles must be surmounted, however, Colleges Committee is to successfully complete the if , their task. 1) The Colleges Committee must overcome potential faculty bias.

Another plus, according to Mr. James, is “the teaching method of the open university is extremely economical in comparison with other modes of adult education.

Norton Hall makes a “MacDonald’s type” which makes 10 hamburger patties per pound of meat, while Ridge Lea only makes 8 per pound, he said. As for the soups, Mr. Parks said, “Everybody asks about the difference in the price of our soups. Ridge Lea uses bigger bowls.” He showed me the bowls. The one used at Ridge Lea appeared to hold about 1/3 more soup. Mr. Parks also stated: ‘There are only a few items where prices may be different but, of course, prices have gone up.” awakened by the sharp, chattering of my telephone. I jumped off my bed to answer it. The caller was from The Spectrum and he was assigning me my first article. I was supposed to investigate an alleged difference in the prices charged by Food Service operating in Norton and those charged at Ridge Lea. Since both locations are under the auspices of University Food Service the prices for identical products should have been equal. My first reaction was to Human error become a champion of justice.

Focus on poverty area Planning Family should be emphasized in poverty areas, Ms. Hagberg emphasized. “If poor people have a lot of children, they have little chance to get out of the poverty pocket,” she said. “It’s these children who suffer in large families.” Neither the poor nor the non-poor want many children, she added. Another problem of family planning concerns the single parent. In one local high school, 100 pregnancies were recorded out of a total enrollment of 600 students. “This is not unusual,” Ms. Hagberg said, “but it’s also the 13, 14 and 15-year olds.” She had no statistics for abortions for this group, but last year 15,800 abortions were performed in Erie County. The number of abortions has almost doubled; in 1971 there were 8971. “Perhaps the number of abortions will level .off,” she suggested, although “this year there may be metre.” She added: “Abortion is not a method of birth control, but with all the methods available, why are people still getting pregnant?” ■ Briefly discussing birth control, Ms. Hagberg said “tubal litigation is on the rise because of early bad publicity of the pill.” However, the levels of hormones have been lowered in the pill and it is “fairly safe at this point.” “There is a higher chance of blood clotting during pregnancy than with the ' Apparently, food service is not really ripping off the student population. There are no differences in food prices except for Sanka. The price at Norton is one cent less because, according to Mr. Bozek, “Somebody goofed on the sign.” ( told the enthusiastic audience. She stressed the importance of sex education, especially in the schools, but indicated that parents also required this education. Sex education in schools was limited in Buffalo, she said, because “the Board of Ed doesn’t want to get involved on account of the parents.” Some parents even “regard sex ed films as some sort of porno,” Ms. Hagberg added. ‘The unwanted child is a problem in our society, because it is prone to child abuse,” she explained, again stressing the need for family planning. One-third of the births in the United States are unplanned, she said, which means there was no rational decision to have a baby at a particular time. However, “just because a baby is unplanned doesn’t mean it’s unwanted,” she stressed. The United States ranks 15th in infant mortality rate, she noted- but when taken with alcohol, it causes gastric problems and very red eyes. “Now the big push is for vasectomy,” she said. With valve vasectomies, where the vas deferens can be opened or closed surgically, “the sperm have been able to find their way around it. However, doctors are working on this,” Ms. Hagberg indicated. The ultimate objective for a male contraceptive is to find a blocking agent for the pill,” she said. Planned Parenthood is overwhelmed by its amount of work, and there is a waiting list of three or four weeks for its services, she said. Planned Parenthood is not federally-funded, but relies upon voluntary donations. However, “loads of federal money for birth control” is allotted to the Family Life Program of Erie County. These organizations “have to be accepted by the community,” she said, but “in Buffalo until 1969, public health nurses couldn’t discuss birth control.” Ms. Hagberg stressed that Planned Parenthood’s objective is to reduce the number of abortions through the use of birth control and education.

A college degree is no longer the guarantee it once was in securing a good job. More and more graduates are being forced to settle for jobs totally unrelated to their major field of study. Throughout the 1950’s and most of the 1960’s, a college graduate was virtually assured several job offers, even if his major was in East Podunkian Renaissance Literature. But as the job market has dried up, especially in the overcrowded social sciences, holders of the once-mighty BA have been forced to look for work outside their major field of study; even many PhD’s are waiting on tables or pumping gas. At the Republic Steel mill in Buffalo, there are BA’s and even some MA’s working alongside or under those with considerably less education. A commercial artist with a two-year degree runs steel billets into the furnace. One 26-year old married man only a few credits away from a Masters in History works a jackhammer in the yard gang. Across the country, Sociology majors are working as office receptionists. Psychology majors as clerks, English majors as store salesmen. There are more and more instances of white-collar trained college graduates working in blue-collar jobs. Social sciences in trouble According to the College Placement Council’s nationwide study of 1972 graduates, 82% of the education majors indicated they were working in education-related jobs; 75% of those with degrees in engineering, natural sciences and “other fields” said they were currently in directly-related work; 62% of the business and commerce graduates had found jobs in their respective fields. However, 41% of those majoring in the humanities and social sciences were unable to find jobs related to their major field of study. The reason given by 43% of the men and 61% of the women for not being in work directly related to their training wasi simply that they “could not find a job in their field.” Only 17% of the men and 10% of the women said “better pay or opportunities” had lured them into another field. Many students unaware Despite these trends, many State University of Buffalo students are walking around campus, busily writing papers and cramming for tests without giving much thought to the end result: how useful or useless their BA may be. Poor planning; apathy from all levels; over-specialization; and uneven priorities among the departments fighting for money from Albany and often foresaking students’ needs these are the main reasons for many graduates’ inability to find employment in their respective fields. Students should be made more aware of vocational choices and opportunities available to them.

These graduates are easier to evaluate, measure and categorize as to their usefulness in the job market. These “realists,” such as the pre-med pragmatists aiming for the white coat, are sure society needs more scientists, doctors and technical experts to move ahead. “It is part of an age-old controversy,” said George Davanel, director of placement and career counseling at Queens College. “There has always been- an argument as to whether college should be a place to train for a specific field or a place for overall development through a general liberal arts education.” Just because a graduate finds a job unrelated to his major field of study “does not mean that his education has failed him,” Mr. Davanel noted. “A problem is the liberal arts graduate who On one side of the plane, many faculty members in the humanities and social sciences feel that the purpose of education is education itself. Though their argument is aesthetically sound, it has little bearing on students in those fields who do not want to pursue a PhD, write countless boring texts that gather dust and become famous professors at great university centers. Some want to implement their educational skills into less visionary and more mundane pursuits in work related to their field of study. Some even want to provide for families and pay taxes in the real world, and it is no secret that there are fewer and fewer jobs available for those majoring in the. Overcrowded social sciences and liberal arts. m Pre-med pragmatists v At the other extreme are those in engineering, natural sciences and other technically-related fields who label themselves “realists.** They feel that the only graduates of this University relevant to the stands there with 128 credits and doesn’t know how to fuse together all that training. He might have been better off in a job-related field.” Hard to gauge But attempts at vocational guidance entail their own set of problems, explained Ernest Schaebele, director of career counseling and placement at City College of New York: “There is no assurance of a job in any field. Who would have thought back in 1964 that there would be unemployed physics majors in 1973? It is better to let people do their own thing.” Should the university encourage vocational training or educational fulfillment? How does one define “education?” What this University needs is not a thorough revamping of the institution, explained Gene Martell of this University’s Placement Office, but “a proper definition of the University,” its relationship with itself, and its usefulness to the communities outside its boundaries. To say that any one major is more important than any o her is as wrong as believing that education for the sake of education will put bread on the table. Every segment of the university is vitally needed. Its priorities should be directed “somewhere in the center of the plain,” Mr. Martell where aesthetic value and mundane usefulness can be fused together to provide a link between the university and the community.

During the last few years of Vietnam, more and more people woke up to the fact that we were being "sold" on an imperialistic war, one in which we supported a corrupt dictatorship against a people's movement which certainly threatened us in no way. People began to see the inherent contradictions in killing for peace, began to realize that no obscure political doctrine could justify the aerial obliteration of a small Asian nation. The same people who woke up to the moral crimes of Vietnam received a second rude awakening during Watergate. Many secret bombings, tapped phones and burgled offices later, the naivete is gone; the administration in Washington is seen for what it is: a morally bankrupt den of criminals. These gradual realizations have changed the black-and-white outlook which dictated that "draft dodgers" were spineless, unpatriotic cowards who betrayed the country to save their own skins, while our POW's, who were after all professional, aerial death-dealers, were being admired as fallen heroes But we have seen what blind, unquestioning patriotism has done to our country; we have learned it is sometimes more honorable to say "no" to the government and follow the dictates of one's own conscience. Thus it should be clear that those who resisted the draft were saying "no" to an inhumane death machine; their crime was refusing to kilt. Today Richard Nixon, who publicly castigated those who resisted his draft of death while secretly bombing the peasants of a neutral country, faces impeachment for his crimes. Yet the thousands who refused to kill in Indochina for moral reasons are still in exile, in hiding or facing trial. It is the ultimate paradox. Congress has passed a war powers bill; thernightmare of Cambodia is still vivid; everyone now decries the immorality of the Vietnam War. Yet those who refused to kill are still being persecuted because they saw before everyone else that the war was senseless and immoral; they are being tried, as in Feiffer's cartoon, for "premature morality." This country has had a long tradition of compassionate amnesty after every war dating back to the days of George Washington. Only twisted Nixonian logic could warp that tradition by branding the sons of our country as enemies and driving them into hiding. Congress has the opportunity to atone for its moral idleness during ten years of death and destruction. It can grant total amnesty to those who refused to kill for the government of Richard Nixon, a government Congress is now denouncing and challenging at every turn. Should Mr. Nixon veto the Congress should be no less resolute in overriding that veto than it was in reasserting its war-making responsibilities. But once again. Congress will be cautiously eyeing public opinion before taking such a step. For months Watergate was a purely domestic matter, but when the secret bombing of Cambodia was revealed, people were forced to realize that government lying extended to the war also; that if the government lied about who it was bombing, maybe it was lying about why we were there and a few other things as well. Even now the lies continue: they talk about peace in a country at war; they talk about democracy in a military dictatorship; they talk about freedom while the tiger cages used to torture political prisoners captured by South Vietnam are built in America and then shipped to Saigon for General Thieu's pleasure. But most of all, they lied about those who resisted the war. These people were not villains but heroes; they were not cowardly but courageous; they were not selfish but morally conscious while the rest of the country looked the other way. They did not oppose the government, only the government's inhuman, repressive destruction. Instead of blind patriotism of the Haldeman-Ehrlichman variety, they were true patriots; for they loved their government enough to see what was dreadfully wrong with it, to follow their own consciences and peacefully dissent. The real criminals are in Washington, not those who resisted the Pentagon death machine. To continue to hound these persons because they believed in moral, human values at the wrong political time would destroy any last vestige of humanitarian tradition in this country.

Xtirougti tlie Looking GlaeB by Barry Kaplan In a moment of temporary insanity, the people of New York State voted down a proposed transportation bond issue that could have marked the beginning of a rebirth of rapid transit in our urban centers. Although the bond issue was not priniarily concerned with rapid transit, with most of the money to be matched by federal funds and used for our highways, the little money earmarked for rapid transit could have launched a new era. We have watched our cities decay we have polluted our land in our frantic search for new energy we have slipped into an automobile society that, if left unchecked, will destroy the beauty of traveling, and we have just watched it all happen. Most Americans don’t seem to realize that America once had the finest system of rapid transit in the world. Although its birth and growth were marked with repeated scandals, and its physical facilities tended in many cases to be shoddyi by 1900 most major American cities were linked by a fast, efficient rail service that made traveling an art not a chore. The cities themselves were bound by the iron rails of the electric trolleys trolleys that cost five cents a ride and reached almost every part of the city. Los Angeles, before the automobile age made it into a sprawling mass of smoggy jello, had the finest transit system in the country. What happened? The Automobile, in its ruthless ascent towards dominance, undermined the older transit systems and totally revised the urban landscape. While the older American cities were spatially smaller and more concentrated, the new urban geography, as typified by the suburbs, is spread out and accessible only by automobile. The Automobile needs parking thus we bulldoze one-third of our city in space order to provide parking areas. The Automobile can traverse long distances, but has trouble in our older streets (which were not built for its gargantuan proportions), so we abandon the old and built our ticky-tacky suburbs. Our entire life has been spatially directed by the car and its need for space. As the automobile became a necessity due to unceasing advertising and peer group pressure, the perceived need for rapid transit systems slowly declined. Even the poor had to have a car, even if it meant going without other items like food and education. As this trend accelerated, it created a servomechanism more cars, less rapid transit less rapid transit, more need for cars. The airplane effectively destroyed the passenger transport function of the railroads, while the truckers weakened its freight-hauling potential. This double-barreled attack on mass transit was aided by the development of the gas-powered bus as a supposedly more economical way of travel. As the gas-powered bus replaced the electric trolley, another nail was driven into the coffin of rapid transit. As we stand in the remains of once-proud cities, breathing polluted air, awaiting possible fuel shortages, and bemoaning the impersonality of modern life, we have the Automobile to thank. As - - — - - - — — more and more shopping plazas open, with their sterile atmospheres and canned gaiety, we have the Automobile to thank. We lament the fate of American suburban architecture, yet top kudoes must go to the Automobile. Have you ever attempted traveling in our new suburban/urban areas without a car? Without that expensive monstrosity you are doomed to oblivion, and in the case of many loneliness. Supposedly one of the aged people reasons for the Watts riots back in the ’60’s major was the lack of mass transportation, which could have aided the isolated black community in reaching jobs in primarily white areas. Our lives have been shaped by our method of so many modern problems can be transportation traced to that lethal behemoth which kills at least 50,000 people a year. Americans decry the lack of communication in modem society as they cruise in their metal capsules insulated from other humans and from the space upon which they travel. Our air is fouled by exhaust pipes Our land disfigured by our economy is based parking lots and highways upon the ability to sell cars to Americans so that the demand for rubber, glass, steel, etc. remains constant. At least if the automobiles produced were sturdy, economical to operate, safe to drive and small enough to serve the function of transportation, then criticism would be harder to justify. Yet American cars are expensive to run, cheaply made, and big enough for an elephant to sit in. So America decries the fuel shortage lowers speed limits and prepares to ration gas. Our President and our technological leaders plan on relaxing hard-won environmental regulations so we can better exploit and destroy our land. We speak about increasing our fuel supply, but we don’t analyze whether we really need all of that energy. Why not spend $56 billion of federal money to construct inter-and intra-urban systems of rapid transit? W have spent that much so far on our system of interstate highways, and in the long run, it would be a lot cheaper on our society. If we built a complete modem system of rapid transit and remodeled our existing ones, we would be taking a giant step towards solving many of our urban problems as well as aiding in ameliorating the fuel shortage. Rapid transit could revitalize many cities, break down excessive reliance upon the car, cut pollution, cut energy demands, dispose with impersonality of modem travel, revise our now-excessive waste of land space, and generally make transportation a function of life not a status symbol or way of life. Transportation should be inexpensive, not one long struggle to meet car payments before engineered obsolescence wins out. This country has grown too fat and has developed a rear end almost as big as the one that can be found on most Americans. Our life style is unhealthy for this nation and for the world. We must radically change if we don’t, we will probably all wind up bumper-to-bumper on a road that never ends. We need the car but right now we need rapid transit even more. - — — - - - — — — �The Pete Hamill Column may well have lied to America more than any other President in our history. When Nixon tells the people of America about a fuel shortage, he should also tell them the names of all the oil and gas people who contributed to his campaigns. When Rockefeller tells us to cut down on speeds and save energy, he should also remind us that his family billions came from by Pete Hamll (e) 1973, New York Pint Now they’ve even taken away our akyline. It had been ours since that day in 1945 when we all raced to the rooftops of Brooklyn to see those million lights blink on again, dazzling, joyous, triumphant and unbelievably beautiful, signalling to us that the war was over. 1 remember a woman crying on the rooftop that time, knowing that the long night of the Second World War was finished, that New York was blazing again with its electric beauty, that blackouts and dimouts were behind us, that the troopships would soon be home. The New York skyline; ours forever. And now it’s gone again. Moving along the city’s highways, there is a joyless sense of defeat and loss in the town. It’s as if the malignant hand of Richard Nixon had reached out from the bunker in Camp David and pulled the lightswitch on all of us, spreading his personal darkness. The Empire State Building is a blinking red light in the dark. The great pile of downtown buildings, Truman Capote’s “diamond iceberg,” is a hole in the night sky.

These people will never remind us of such things, because they are so involved in oil and gas interests that the public’s interest always comes second. The fuel crisis serves Nixon politically, because he cannot function without an enemy. He has lost the Chinese and the Russians as enemies, because big business interests want detente to create new markets. He briefly tried making the American press the enemy, but nobody bought that either. Now he can create the image of the Arabs strangling America. • And all of it is a phony. The fuel crisis is still another Nixon strategem and we can measure its success by the events of the last week. Americans talked incessantly about saving fuel, cutting speeds on highways, restricting heat and energy, instead of talking about Nixon’s real problems. He is a master of this sort of thing, and does not care who gets • Meanwhile, we will to live with the consequences; reduced production, unemployment, stock market, higher prices on food and consumer goods, and a rebirth of anti-Semitism, as millions of people start blaming our commitment to Israel for the “energy crisis.” it’s time to call their bluff.

Rockefeller should have subpenaed all the oil producers, including his own family, who sell their products in New York, and had them swear President Dear Dr. Ketter I have just read-in the Sunday New York Times that the arming of campus security is again a hotly debated issue at UB. As a recent graduate who remembers fighting that issue while a UB student, I feel compelled to write, for what little it may accomplish, to urge you as University President to reject this request for guns by campus security. Introducing firearms on campus seems now, as two years ago, an unnecessary hazard to the entire UB population. Even in grave circumstances, I would expect a University to be the last to initiate such extreme police measures. It is difficult for me to understand how the Administration can seriously consider this escalatory action at a time when campbs crime is substantially lower than previously, for such reasons as the force’s “morale” and self image. It is certainly not a question of whether the force is “qualified to assume the responsibility.” It is whether the assigning of such a responsibility is in fact necessary in this particular community. I submit that it is not. There must be less jeopardous ways to bolster the force’s morale.

Support Pro-Life To the Editor Whoever coined the saying, “two wrongs don’t make a right" spoke more truth than they realized. And those people like the woman who wrote a letter to the editor in The Spectrum ofOctober 26, would be well-advised to ask themselves if it applies to their pro-abortion stand. Previously the Women’s Lib crackpots relied on the feeble argument that a woman had the “right to control her own body,” (as though the right to control her body included the right to murder the life within that body). Now, statistics are brought into the argument to try and justify this savage murder of the unborn. No statistic can cover up, justify or excuse murder that is dear to every rational person. To those people interested in trying tp justify this monstrous practice, I say this; those of us who are opposed to this callous, brutal practice will no longer sit on the sidelines and surrender to your philosophy of death. The forces of life, of compassion, of Christian love, are on the march.

This garden of earthly delights is located across the U.B. campus at 3236 Main Street and is owned by Kathy and David Southall. Ellen Greenfield, a former University student, has been working at The Plant Parlour for a year. For a person who likes plants, a store such as this is a must, she said. Mr. and Ms. Southall set up shop two years ago when no florist or other store that sold plants could satisfy their needs. Available to the Buffalo community now is a diversified selection of plants, With advice on how to care for them. No flies The miniscule Venus Fly Traps sold by the store thrive on acidy soil and are packed in sphagnum peat. Contrary to popular belief, Venus Fly traps don’t like to eat flies, said Ms. Greenfield. In fact, many times the plants will die if they are fed flies. “Normally they eat dbout one or two flies a year, even if they’re mature,” commented Ms. Greenfield. They are, however, mositure-loving plants who thrive on high humidity and water. Another tip Ms. Greenfield related; most plants should be in small pots because most of these plants’ root systems grow well in tiny spaces and this in turn promotes the growth of the external part of the plant. Furthermore, water a plant thoroughly until it drains from the bottom and don’t water the plant again until it needs it, she advised. Misconceptions about plant life can be cleared up by any of the workers at The Plant Parlour. If you are unsure of your own particular plant’s needs, consult any of the employees. The store is open from 10 a.m.’to 6 p.m. daily except Sundays. Good advice After browsing for about half an hour, one customer came up to Ms. Greenfield and began asking questions about the plant she held. She had picked up an Echiveria, a plant with soft, light, green poplar-shaped leaves, about five inches tall and exhibiting both horizontal and vertical growth. The customer was advised to give the plant quite a a ') completely dry. In the winter, when the sun rays are less direct the Echiveria probably becomes dormant and should also abstain from water. If this precaution is not taken, the plant will rot, warned Ms. Greenfield. Perhaps more important than the purchase of plants or their aesthetic enjoyment is the process of keeping them alive. Mike, a former University student and Plant Parlour employee stressed the importance of knowing the best soils to use and the advantages and disadvantages of Various insecticides. No potting soil He strongly advised against buying potting soil from stores and refuses to carry them in his store. This type of soil is too heavy and drives air away from the roots; it isn’t reliably sterile, it doesn’t dry out well and is too expensive, he warned. Instead, he recommends a mixture formulated ten years ago at Cornell University. It contains sphagrum peatmoss and'perlite, the ratio 2:1 is good for most house plants, while the proportion 1:1 is recommended for cacti and other succulent plants, he said. Besides being an excellent medium, it inhibits the growth of fungus, he added. Second on Mike’s blacklist are aerosol spray bombs. Freon-based spray bombs are not very effective as an insecticide and kill the newest growth, he said. Raid and other aerosals are also ineffective. Plant prescription The treatment recommended for sick plants is not very complicated and can be simplified to four chemical compounds. The first remedy is a homemade solution called nicotine tea. It can be made by collecting already smoked cigarettes. Then remove the filters which contain nicotine. When hot water is poured over the filters and a few drops of detergent are added to the solution, applied to the infected leaves, is particularly effective against aphids. Another Plant Parlour-recommended remedy is kelthane for use against mites. Spider mites are' a year round pest, but this time of the year is a particularly bad time because after the first cold spell, they migrate indoors ought in on clothing, he said. Kelthane kills the adult insect but- infrequently affects the egg stage Malathion is a control against mealybugs, scale, and aphids, but mites become immune to it. Nicotine tea and the Kelthane and Malathion compounds contain chemicals which pass through the soil when the plant is watered. Another group of insecticides called systemic insecticides (e.g. Isotox) are longer lasting because they are absorbed by the plant. While all insecticides should be used with caution, he warned, systemic insecticides are particularly toxic, he advised. This should be kept in mind particularly if one has children or pets. -Christine Rusiniak NOT GOING ANYWHERE FOR THANKSGIVING? • GO TO TORONTO /5rt.. Nov. 24th/ 9 a.m. - 12 midnight.

Lure of the forbidden ' The above is an excerpt of Desmond Morris's introduction to his book The Naked Ape. When the book hit the market, it caused a great deal of controversy for two reasons: one, it was an explicit anthropological study that offended many people; and two, it was highly erotic. Movie looking good with Sellers in lead by Howie Ruben Spectrum Arts Steff Peter Sellers has indeed had his ups and downs in the acting world. He is an extraordinary actor, however, able to play a variety of roles with equal success. His latest role in the Sagittarius production. The Optimists, is about Sam Hall, a former musical star who now roams the streets of London playing his banjo and singing for pennies. It may well bring him an Oscar nomination. Sam Hall has seen better days. Now, with his dog Bella (that's Italian for beautiful), he occupies a shabby, run-down, condemned house. He lives in the past, constantly recollecting his old musical acts and singing them aloud to Bella, his faithful companion. Hall of fun In the same part of town are two children, a girl about twelve and her younger brother who is six. Their mother works in a factory and only has time to care for a third child, a little baby. The father, also a factory worker, is on the job every day of the week for extra pay. His desire to move out of their basement flat into something a little nicer is his incentive for the overtime work. The girl (Oonna Mullan) and her brother (played quite adorably by John Chaffey) have to find their own fun and they find it in Sam Hall. Hall, unlike the kids' parents, opens their curious minds to adventure and make-believe. Living in a lower-working class neighborhodd is oft-times too real and harsh for young children. They look for an escape route, someone or something to latch onto. For these kids it is Sam Hall, curious and private, also seeking something secure, trying to hang onto his outdated and unloving world. Boy meets dog The film has it's bad points; at times it drags. Not much really happens in the film until the little boy decides he wants a dog. Hall buys a dog for him and everything is fine until Mom and Dad find out. The father demands that his children get rid of the dog, but they're too fond of it, so they run away. Stereotypical, some will say.

Ticket �I Our Weekly Reader by Michael Silverblatt McCullers there the protagonist encounters the midget, the side-show* specimen with revulsion; the the dark and feared freak is the mirrored other side of the self that self-consciousness tries to avoid. The freaks in the novels of West (Miss Lonelyhearts) and Ojuna Bames (Nightwood) one, create an atmosphere which helps link life with a particular kind of art and two, create a strangulating Sargasso sea environment from which something terribly tender, often artistic awareness itself, tries to emerge. Other American novelists, John Hawkes, Barth, Pynchon, Heller, even Vonnegut (I don't like him much) don't smirk so disgustingly at humanity. These nouveau Terry Southerns that Viking Press has dug up come onto a scene in experimental American prose that has gone way beyond the grotesque-absurd. Barth and Pynchon may be overly complex. Barthelme may be maddeningly subtle (his is a kind of fictive jazz it doesn't play by ordinary rules and one needs the exquisite ear of the jazz enthusiast, to distinguish a gorgeous wrong-note rag from a jarring mangle). Complexity, subtlety at any rate, American fiction is no longer simple-minded. These new writers are throwbacks to the early sixties, to writers whose short stories were characteristically found in anthologies called Black Humor or The Chaotic Vision. Most of the “real" black humorists (mindless, obscene) are reported missing-in-action or are writing what is now called the New Journalism. — Contributing Editor — Someone once wryly noted that no one ever loses money underrating American intelligence. Someone was right. American culture, American taste, American literacy these cannot on any economic market be too heavily devalued. Publishers have been known to justify the shit they shovel to the market with "It's-what-the-public wants" smiles on their faces and "It's-what-the-public-will-pay-for" dollars in their pockets. The American public is no longer a reading public. Television, film and other cliches often found in this kind of article ordered in a list and separated by commas have won the central position in a field once dominated by the novel. Post-McLuhan yawns here. It seems to me that publishers are now in the ideal position to prove their integrity. Faced with an audience of disinterested faces, the publisher has the opportunity to prove his devotion to language, to reading, by establishing values and quality in a cultural void. I think of those singular monks in the Dark Ages who illuminated their manuscripts and preserved their texts against siege, against disease, — against ignorance. In the years I've been reviewing books, three or four houses have always struck me as bastions, Knopf, Farrar Strauss & Giroux, Viking and Harcourt Brace Jovanovich (formerly Harcourt Brace interesting diminuation) are publishing and World houses that particularly impress me. They've published a healthy assortment of first novels, kept a wise eye on the avante garde, and when they've published books for "everyone," they've done it with taste. For example. Holt, Rinehart and Winston publishes Micky Spillaine; Knopf prints Ross MacDonald. Two weeks ago I received Viking's new catalogue. Viking is a fine house, especially for fiction. They've published novels ranging from Joyce's Finnegans Wake to Pynchon's Gravity's Rainbow. They've re-released books which they (rightly) feel should not be forgotten (they re-released Grace Raley's perfect collection of short fiction. The Little Disturbances of Man).

He tells how B.O. Fasdick (of the jowls). Geo. Moore (the fifties’ only black Yalie), Hank Murphy (who dallies magic wands on the breasts of nymphets), Yvonne (who can see her navel only in a mirror). Miss Cakes (of the syncromesh arse), Randy (gay), and Cosimo (a palooka) take over the Corporation by virtue of impredictability, mediocrity, and a penchant for rape, bullying and lewd displays. This sorry tale, peopled by go-getters, hot-shot good guys, and mean, low-down bastards, is narrated by a furious D.W. LaRocks, whose razor rash looks like psoriasis. MARK McGARRITY is hiding in Europe from his critics, one of whom said Little Augie's Lament "exhibits an extraordinary talent for characterization, for organization, and for style" and "rich and offbeat language," while another complained that it is "strident, depressing, artificial.. vicious, pathological." . It is as if the Viking people are so dizzied by their success with Gravity's Rainbow that they've signed every novel with funny character names and vulgar incidents that's come their way. Couldn't they see that Pynchon's brilliance is .in his architecture, his prose style, his all.-inclusiveness and not in his bad taste which is a glut on the literary market-place.

The wink is at the reader who, presumably, shares this fascination with the vulgar. It is essentially a new style Gothic that emigrates from Europesans literacy exams.

There are six other first novels that sound like these two. They are all the same. I will not read them. Or rather, I have read them all too many times. Thunder La Boom is "a wild and witty novel, including vice-squad with a cast of thousands detectives, arsonists, crazies, carpet salesman, lechers galore, lawyers and even priests giving an insider's look at contemporary America from a very special point of view." Chances are we'll do nothing more than meet these folks. The author introduces a cast of characters both so enormous and so much larger than life that the novel becomes a series of freaky introductions and somewhat awkward handshakes much like a bad party. And, like a bad party, too, several perfunctory party games will be played. The author plays ring-around-the-rosie with his characters. They all fall down. Finished. Two hundred pages. There is serious, dangerous, important new writing going on in the United States, in South America, in Africa, in Europe. These Viking books are clearly dead weight. Wit has gone by the boards, and with it sensitivity, sympathy, love. Replacements are vulgarity and ruthless cruelty. It is as if these first novelists cower so at the notion of the "sensitive first novel" that they turn their backs on the sensual, the sexy and present us with the razor-edge fuck; they abandon the heart and its manifold hardenings and leave us with rigor mortis. - — — FViday, 16 November 1973 The Spectrum Page eleven . . �records The Steve Miller Bend over the pest few years has undergone more personnel changes than the Nixon administration.

One fact isthet Americans can't dance to reggae not even dn Soul Train. Consequently, it isn't making it in the nation's disco scene, an influence so pervasive that in less than one summer it's already entrenched In the predominantly white local bar scene. And it certainly isn't coming across on the radio. Reggae is too out of step with American culture to take a purely imperialistic view. It cannot stand up to something as intense and driving as Eddie Kendrick's Truckin' or the Isley's That Lady, and it's simply too kinetic for the more mellow things that Al Green and Marvin Gaye have recently produced. But somehow that doesn't answer it all. Americans can and do dance to anything they want, especially on Soul Train. Perhaps reggae is out of step with the American consciousness, dancers and just plain record buyers alike. I say this because reggae is not simply a form, because for most part it's admittedly distinct formal appeal is overpowered by it's incredible contextual vitality. The music is about social change. Roger Gorman, an auteur of biker and necrophilic film genures and the American distributor of Perry Henzells, The Harder They Come, predicted that there would be an incredible explosion of reggae music across the nation this fall, along with superstardom for Jimmy Cliff. Gorman, referring to the success he expected Cliff to glean from the film, claimed reggae would be solidly instituted in American music by the winter. None of that, you may have noticed, occurred. The film bombed it's first run in Buffalo ( and everywhere else ) and similarly, five months later when it played on this campus was seen by less than 300 people. Furthermore, it's not surprizing that as a black exploitation film, as it was originally distributed, which suggested political analysis, overthrow and ultimately self sacrifice as worthwhile values rather than cynical and gratuitous self engrandisement, it was destined to fail. Additionally, white audiences, drugged into complacency by belief that any political system that can eliminate the ugliness and oppressiveness of a Richard Nixon from their daily lives must be okay, found little relevance in a film ( or any piece of art ) that attacked the nature of a class structured, imperialist society. Reggae is too vital to function in a bourgeoise culture. Only when it's stripped of it's political associations can it be safely assimilated into our experience. Cases in point are J. Geils reggae hit "Give It To Me," or Paul Simon's "Mother and Child Reunion." Good stuff, but is it reggae? The lyrics needn't have direct political meaning, or be explicitly political. It's the context, not the content which «-•: •3 fwp -.a'iil ■?.' as they go.

Well, if you listen to this album a few times, you'll have enough hummable music for a long time. Then I was given this album to review, I was instructed: "Give ti a chance." I said to myself, "boolshit." Usually when I get a new album and somebody says, "give it a chance," all it does it grow on me like a wart. The more I listen to it, the more things I find wrong with it. With this album, it was just the reverse. After the first listening, I said to myself, "nice, but too sweet." But by "giving it a chance" and listening to it further, instead of finding more things wrong with it, I found more things right with it. The next time you're sitting around with a few friends, mellowing out from a heavy day, put this on the turntable and turn the lights down low. Give it a chance. • . ; —Steven Ashenfarb Burnin' The Wailen (Island) This is an album you should buy because you've read a review where someone has earnestly asked you to try it. For most of us, black or white, there is no precedent for listening to reggae the rock mutant of Jamaica. It is as alien to our ears as a music from another culture can be while stilt being based on American early rock and roll and sung in a dialect of our language. The Waiters remain the most interesting of the reggae artists America has heard. Aside from Desmond Dekkar and Jimmy Cliff they are the only Jamaican musicians since ska music to receive even a minimum of exposure and distribution here and that mostly via Great Britain, where the pop music of other cultures continues to flourish. Bumin' is the second album to be released here. The first, also on the Island label, entitled Catch A Fire began selling this summer after it's winter release due to the success of The Harder They Come. Catch A Fire was poignant and exciting cuts like "Kinky Reggae" stand out and remain favorites for those who've heard them only on occasion. But while Catch A Fire was as engaging as it was exotic, Burnin is aggressive, involving, and in some ways alien. There is a development between these two albums nearly as dramatic as those one notices running between the three Jimmy Cliff albums. Cliff's albums move from a position of political interest, through involvement, to what could best be regarded as reverie. ( Some reviews list his latest album as lifeless, too slick and decadent. When one recalls the immediacy and vitality of his first two, such judgements are not too far off. ) The Waiters' work, bowever;1s becoming more seriously and directly political. It now comes out, they are Rastafarians, spiritual underlings of Emperor Haile Selasse of Ethiopia, and consequently, subscribers to one of Jamaica's most effective anti imperialist movements. Last week The Waiters quit the Sly and the Family Stone tour to return to Jamaica. Sylvester, it seems, was too cynical about his audiences and too, too decadent. As Bob Marley, a central member in the band said: “America for us is babylon mon, we come back when it fall down.' All this suggests to me at least that there are deeper reasons why The Wallers and reggae itself aren't making it here in Babylon. It was fairly surprizing to open the latest copy of Rolling Stone and find two articles on reggae and the Waiters respectively. The coverage itself was not strange at all, they've been covering the music off and on since the summer, but what was really strange were the conclusions it reached. The general opinion was that reggae music has more or less passed on through the ravenous cultural appetites of America's music scene, gone the way of all new product such as glitter, satanism, and very soon country innocence. One sensed a certain disappointment in these articles, with the culture's failure to embrace this new 'trend' especially after the eight pages of coverage Jamaican culture received in a summer issue of Stone. And still there aren't any rude boys and Johnny Too Bads running through the nation's suburbs smoking ganga and dancing the reggae. Aside from pointing up Rolling Stone's naive presumption that it somehow still manages a vital function in the music business as a mediator of taste and consciousness, the articles - — — i *.w * ° — - — — — ... —LesCargot Wake of the Flood Grateful Dead (G.D.)

They are oonsumate revolutionary artists. They, and reggae also seem to be what this culture is crying for. Why then does Rolling Stone suggest they've peaked? Mora importantly why do they have cause to? If you need a last word of pure criticism I might mention the production. Wallers' music is very progressive reggae. While admittedly it's hard to make such observations about a music which is so vital and developing, their music does stand apart from the more traditional "fundamental reggae" of Desmond Dekkar, The Melodians, The Gaylads or the incredibly funky Maytals. I would argue that the distinction primarily lies in the Wallers' and Chris Blackwell's production. A reasonable comparison might be the production values that Jimmy Miller brought to the traditional sound of the Stones. If you buy Burninn' ( you should ) and it sounds a little too alien, pick up the Harder They Come soundtrack, that seems to be the transitional event for most people.

Reggae stripped of it's political history, it's emergencefrom the Kingston ghetto, isn't reggae; anymore than rock and roll that ignores it's growth out of struggle is really rock and roll. It reminds us of what we easily forget whenever Liza and Alice cut a new disc or the Allman's total a $2,000 Norton, that rock and roll is folk music which was nurtured by and grew out of social struggle. Even the music celebrated erotic connotations of rock derive their potency from struggles with the repression. All that good stuff from dancing a slow grind with your baby at the high school to the weird threatening sensations you feel when Alice Cooper "Deep Throats" a boa. The music itself, on this album obviously has to take a back seat to my rantings on the entire issue. That’s largely because the album is flawless; it permits such rantings. Bunny Livingston, Bob' Marley, Peter Makintosh, and Carlton and Aston "Family Man" Barrett are the finest rock and roll band in existence. Theit lyrics, music and life objectives are more compelling and exciting than to . masses. The Dead's lyricism has always been their forte. There is a great change in evidence here. With the passing of Pigpen, whose ad-lib, lyrical genius will never be equaled, the Dead rely heavily on the images of innocence, love and purity. We will never again hear about "women out in red, on the streets today." Those women are gone. The Dead's new "Ladies" would rather contemplate desert sunsets and Wordsworth's symbolism than drink Old Crow and get it on. Well, Dead Freaks, hope you're not disappointed with Wake of the Floodd.

On the other hand, there are those who say you don't really know a thing until you know its history, in which case I'm just right.

He knows how to play with and expand a melody line in just the right places, and is always a joy to listen to. He also has a knack for writing the type of songs that stay with you all day.

However, I cannot help but feel that Messina is the one who pulls it all together. that is, there are And still, there is that problem songs whete the commercialism outweighs everything else.

"My Music" is the new single I'm sure you've all heard by now. The chorus goes: "God knows that / love my music Ain’t never gonna change my tune." This certainty seems to be true.

(Starts with acoustic nylon-string guitar and Kenny doing one of those melodious, beautiful vocals with an incredible range all the way to the bass coming in just on the last chorus, replete with three-part harmony in the "Same Old Wine" background.) "Pathway to Glory" with the heavy electric jam of "Angry Eyes" inserted in the middle. An on and on and on. In this sense, there is only one "new" song on the whole album. That is "Sailin' the Wind," a very mellow song that conjures up the open sea on a calm day and leaves you very peaceful. The question at this point is obviously, if all of the above is true, why bother listening to this at all? Answer: it is always worthwhile to listen to musical genius at work. Admittedly, this is the most commercial point yet hit by the group and Messina. Still, some things remain constant. The key to enjoying this album is concentration. If you listen while talking to someone else, or playing cards, or getting stoned, it will sound like the other albums, and it may bore you. Shut off the lights, close your eyes, put the volume dial at five o'clock and stretch out comfortably (not in that order, or you'll have some problems) and it's a whole 'nuther smoke. Of course, this is a problem that most popular artists/groups face. The sound that makes them popular is the sound they stick with to stay popular (choose anyone from Joni Mitchell to Cream), and all their albums consequently sound the same from a distance. I refuse to pass judgment on this at the present time. At any rate, I think the success of this particular group is due to Jim Messina's many-faceted talents, all very subtle, which is why you have to listen closely. Being able to know exactly how he's going to play, arrange, orchestrate, engineer and record a song while he's writing it gives him an immense advantage. What all that means on this side of the fence is: a) every phase reinforces the others and gives the work a very unified structure; and b) you can enjoy the music on whichever (or all) of those levels you are on, because it's all done with the same amount of expertise. Any song provides a good example, but I'll use "You Need a Man" for now. The mood is deep purple (the color, not the group). It's in a rapid 4/4 timing, with horns, bass, guitar and drums all opening the song with different rhythm patterns, all recorded at different decibel levels. The overall effect makes your body twitch unless you tap your foot or rock your body or release the energy through some specific channel. Kenny Loggins sings the lyrics (with his usual degree of expressive, dynamic excellence), which are of the "me Tarzan, you Jane" variety, but which also undisputedly enhance and fit the music. "You need a man One who is long enough to last And likes to take it slow and easy ..." Then comes the break. OUCH! (soo subtle). Realty, this is one group where a sensitive stereo is a necessity there are tracks that are so faint they're not even meant to be heard (just kind of felt). He has to use at least a sixteen-track board. He shifts the lead from some reed instrument (I haven't figured out yet whether it's an alto flute or an oboe) to harmonica so smoothly you don't even know it's happened for two bars. Then he does the same thing from harmonica to violin. All the while, in the background, all sorts of tone colors are floating around (but never conflicting) various percussion instruments, horns, guitars, piano, achieving an extremely deep, three-dimensional sound. Just when you start getting bored, Messina and Al Garth go into an energetic double lead (guitar and violin) that really makes you sit up. After that, a few smooth modulations, a radical change in tempo and well, we'rs into another song by now. I guess all you Kenny Loggins fans must be pretty riled up by now. OK. Loggins is definitely a top-notch * = — - this category; "Cornin' to You," which is very reminiscent of 'Thinkin' of You," which is another song I can't believe they recorded willingly. However, as I have said, even if the other songs have some really great things about them, they all suffer from the same problem in some degree. If this review has confused you, at least you know how I feel. You hear a heavy bass line. You laugh (you've heard it so many times before). You think, "What, is he kidding?" Just then, a mean-as-hell horn riff blasts you out of your seat. You hear Kenny Loggins singing, "I want to sing you a love song." You think, "Oh, God, how corny!" Five hours later you're still humming the tune. Even a song like "My Music," which is obviously 100% calculatedly aimed at -the teeny-bopper population, right down to the lyrics (" . hey, little girl, will you meet me at the school-yald gate . ..") you have to admit it's a tight, . . - — — . — classy, entertaining package. All I can say at this point is, this may not be the best album of the year, but it certainly is one of the slickest. -Wills Bassen Astral Travelling Lonnie Liston Smith (Flying Dutchman) Bliss, Lonnie Liston Smith and the Cosmic Echoes, yeah, spiritual. Peace in spirit and that's all there is. Beauty, truth, the path to enlightenment and pascena; the path shown to us by the late great Master Trane, who made it clear that the way was to God the Creator, the spiritual reality of seeing and being. The landmark of A *1. Love Supreme: it changed people's heads and it changed the music, everyone knew where it was at after that and still so few have attained. "All praise to God," said Trane, and 'All praise to the Creator," said Pharaoh, and so it was that the message was passed from one generation to the next, from Trane who understood, but never arrived at, peace of the spirit, to Pharaoh, who spent several years with him, sharing the spiritual endeavors and coming to version was relatively nowhere.

It was something else a new school had been created, honest and beautiful. Time was free, harmonies incredibly rich and full, overall smoothness and blanding of tones, a musical nirvana. Yet even Pharaoh would be at a loss sometimes, erupting with hell-bent screams, voraciously attacking all the material world, but in the end always returning to the peaceful way. In the band helping create that music were Lonnie Liston Smith and Cecil McBee, both inherent in the sound. Page fourteen The Spectrum Friday, 16 November 1973 . Lonnie developed a technique of ringing out every note in the fullest, richest chords, creating a cushion of sound, and Bee, super bassist, was equal as an innovator just ask Stan Clarke. Together with Pharaoh they revolutionized music, and with his guidance they came to comprehend it. Recently they split, Cecil going with various bands like Music Incorporated and Norman Connors' original group, Lonnie travelling with Gato Barbieri. More recently, Lonnie put together a group called the Cosmic Echoes, which included Bee. That was two years ago. Now there is a first album, called AstraI Travelling. It's a beautiful piece of art. It sounds exactly like (almost) Pharaoh Sanders, not surprisingly, but there is a difference, a certain sophistication or cosmic awareness, like a lack of humor, which in its own way helps compensate for the fact that Pharaoh does not make a guest appearance. In his place is George Barron, who is impressive in his ability to retain his identity, not se easy considering the context. Imagine playing with McCoy, Jimmy, and Elvin on Psalm and trying not to sound like Coltrane. Yet he succeeds easily and contributes heavily to the total sound and direction. His restraint from delving into typical bop runs makes much more sense than most of his contemporaries. Pharaoh and Frank Wright excluded. Cecil's playing is perfect, as he is perfectly suited for this type of music, and he serves as Lonnie's third hand. Lonnie, meanwhile, runs the gamut of different textures and moods, making use of the wall of percussion available in Mtume, Sonny Morgan, David Lee, and Bada Roy, whose wife adds the tamboura, a touch of Eastern mysticism with its transcendental drone, notably on In Search Of Truthh a mellowed-out minor sway in utmost sensitivity. None of the songs serve as a forum for individual solos, rather they are conceptual structures contrasting different textures, weaved together by the piano, flowing gently in waves that trickle and caress. Lonnie Liston Smith's style is truly unique, and would be universally loved if people would only listen. He's so pure, a force of totally positive energy, that no one even approaches his sound.Astra / Travelling is one of his compositions, and its presentation here is more peaceful, more special than on Thambi, if that can be imagined. It's slower and more percussive the drum can soothe as well as vigorate. Let Us Go Into The House Of The Lord was recorded earlier on Summon Bukmun Umyun and is still unforgettable the triumphant horn entry, the piano rushes, Cecil's vyatery bass solo, and Pharaoh's soprano, passing from one incredible phase to another. On Lonnie's album only one mood evolves, though his playing practically glistens with afterthought. Too bad Pharoh wasn't around for this one, but then you can't win them all. (The Mahavishnu-Santana - - semblance of peace inside can relate strongly to it if they up a little. All you have to do is listen once.

It would be silly to pass this up, to deny the force of purity and beauty in music any longer. Open youself to it and please listen. Only good can come of it. open — Norman Salant �I Play is analogy ofRichards by Stephen Aminoff rungs on a ladder. And what of those who get killed or destroyed? As Nixon himself once put It, Spectrum Ant Staff Now that the Watergate monster has shown itself to truly strike at the core of this country's political system, the alternative theater has been running a desperate race against the headlines to put it all into perspective. It seems that shows like New York's recent off-off-Broadway offering The Watergate Follies of 1973 need constant re-writing with each passing day of revelations. Hence it would be apparent that a play about the political life of Richard Nixon which opened on October 18 should be disastrously dated by this writing. However, the Toronto Workshop production Richard Third Time succeeds because it energetically deals with the man's thought patterns, admirably depicted as an invariably important factor in all of the President's decisions. Richard Third Time is first and foremost an analogy between the political existences of Nixon and Richard II. Writers Steven Bush and Rick McKenna have skillfully interwoven Shakespeare's text with some of Dick's own remarkable script from over the years. Living with THEM McKenna recalls how the idea came to him: "I was discovering my acceptance of (political) external controls; that I would be manipulated as long as I allowed myself to be. (I need THEM to run my life because I am irresponsible . .) My point is that it cannot happen if we don't allow it but we are still . allowing it." In the best Bretchtian sense, the characters of this play recognize the dramatic function which they serve. The action proceeds like a huge comment on things we have seen on television or in more capsulized versions such as Emile de Antonio's fascinating documentary, Milhouse. The play opens with a seemingly divine inspiration coming to Richard that a great "Commie scare" campaign would be his stepping stone to power. Names like Jerry Voorhiss, Alger Hiss and the NUAC hearings, Helen Gahagan Douglas, the Rosenbergs are looked at by Richard as so many "Political positions have always come to me because I was in the right place at the right time. It all depends on what the times call for." Powerful puppet Eisenhower is seen as a puppet dangled on strings by men in dark cloaks at the 1952 Repulican National Convention. The famous "Checkers Speech" is shown to be little more than a vaudeville routine. Even John Kennedy is held up for criticism in the play. There was clearly a rare kind of analysis and, perhaps, courage at work in the building of this show. The production itself was a rather tight piece of verbal and visual choreography. Director George Luscombe keeps everything very economical in the theatrical sense of the term. The stage was set with a simple blood-splattered rake which was imaginatively used for everything from a coronation to a nightmare sequence. Political demands This sort of production, paced very tightly, made very particular demands on the actors which Alan Royal as Richard and Len Doncheff as Buckagnew fulfilled extremely well. They were able to achieve the quick, terse quality of political intrigue without sacrificing their own believability. Other actors in the cast fared less welt within this admittedly rigorous framework and the audience received political cartoon characters. This play, which includes a no-nonsense look at Nixon's relationship to Big Business and the Mafia, needs to be thought of as a very Canadian approach to a man whose position has a daily effect on their lives. It's a ruthless, probing examination and one which needs to be made by people everywhere. Incidentally, Richard Third Time is an excellent example of the quality alternative theater which the Toronto Workshop has been offering for 15 years. Even though this fine show has closed, any trip to Toronto will be enhanced by a visit to their theater just off Yonge Street, right in the heart of things.

Their goal is to expose children to good theater at an early age by presenting background of progressively sophisticated productions. Hopefully, the Children's Theater appreciation is subsequently developed on an individual level, rather than tnrough hackneyed pseudointellectualism. Dreamy team The Mirrorman is a delightful fairytale which is complex in both theme and educational theory. Principally, it speaks of the value of cooperation. Interspersed throughout the play is the demand for audience participation. Various actions and phrases are used throughout the play to build a repertoire of "plunk-ocf, pom-pom, hmmm," etc., yielding both the climax of the plot ard reciprocity between actors and audience. Children are really excited when there is occasion to aid grown-ups. Uninhibited, kids shout from their seats to help the actors. This can sometimes, of course, cause problems; a child may tell the actors something they are "not supposed to know." "You have to be really quick," said Margar Quinn, one of the six core members of TOY "You can't ignore what a kid says, even if spoils your next line, because you want encourage participation.

Friday, 16 November 1973 The Spectrum Page . . �0 For germ from the Legal Dope by Hilary Lowell MP'r i», • Last Sunday I awoke to the ringing of my telephone. The answering service from the Student Legal Aid Coinic had called because they had received an emergency phone call from a student named Eric. I called Eric and he rather frantically explained that his landlord was giving him and his two roommates until 3 p.m. to get out of their apartment. The alternative was that he would physically throw their belongings onto the street. According to Eric, he and his roommates had given notice, on the second of the month, to their landlord, Mr. B., that they would be moving out on the 30th of the month. Eric continued that if they couldn’t vacate by 3 pjn. that day, the landlord would let them remain only if they paid $175 rental rather than their usual $100 rental. As I have learned by handling numerous cases in the Student Legal Aid Clinic, landlord/tenant disputes are often clouded by anger in which neither party can visualize the other side of the coin. Mr. B. was indeed an angry man. Before I finished explaining who I f was, he was already telling me of the “filth these boys live in,’ of the and more. He ripped wallpaper, damaged furniture, piled up garbage claimed that he needed 30 days to get the apartment back in rental condition, and that he wasn’t going to lose a month’s rent because of the present tenants. The landlord and the tenants were both legally wrong. A tenant paying on a month-to-month basis, without a lease, must give his landlord notice of his intention to leave a full 30 days before the end of the last month of their residence. Therefore, the duty of the tenants was to pay rent for an additional month because they were delinquent in providing the landlord with notice of their intention to vacate. More importantly, though, the tenants had a responsibility to maintain their apartment and return it in the same condition they received it, minus reasonable wear and tear. The landlord could not legally raise their rent without giving sufficient (one month) notice. Furthermore, the landlord would be liable for his actions if he evicted the tenants without following certain legal procedures, which would take at least three weeks. Barring all of these legal facts, I managed to get the crisis settled in a rather practical manner. The landlord, realizing that a lawsuit to collect for damages would be more expensive then paying for the damages himself, agreed to let r*. ■ jhf Page eighteen The Spectrum Friday, 16 November 1973 . .

In instances where a student gets arrested, the Clinic maintains a 24 hour-a-day answering service and a bail fund. The services of the U.B. Bail Fund are offered on a limited basis to students whose bail monies cannot be raised any other way. Hopefully, through the provisions of the UJ8. Bail Fund, a University student will not have to undergo the anguish of time spent in jail. Also, students will not be forced to miss classes. The Clinic operates to assist students with legal problems which do not require the immediate retention of a lawyer. Should a lawyer be necessary, the Ginic is prepared to refer the client to a local professional whose area of expertise includes the particular problem involved. Additionally, arrangements can be made through the Ginic for free consultation with a member of the N.Y. State Bar Association. This professional works very closely with the Clinic’s ten-member staff and is responsible for the high degree of success and acceptance that had developed in the recent past. A portion of the Clinic’s staff is comprised of students from the University’s law school. One of the functions of these law students is to prepare and present the defense of students who have been summoned to appear before the Student Judiciary or the University (fearing Commission. They, like all members of the Cjinic’s staff, are responsible for completion of extensive research projects. Thus far, these research projects have resulted in the publishing of a*“Drug Law Fact Sheet” and a “Buffalo Housing Handbook.” Both of these publications are available in the Ginic (Room 340, Norton Hall) and are distributed free of charge to any member of the University. The Ginic now has the additional service of a Notary Public. He will be available free of charge to all students during normal Ginic hours.

The Pblicare, Ted Lawson and a score for the alumni coach meet will be of other former stars. “In essence, coached Bull Wilson, Bob who be an facing the varsity team will wrestlers Matt 1937. in all-star team of former Buffalo Szydlowski, who graduated from Buffalo in the early 1950’s, will also referee the bouts. Michael is hoping for a large turnout on Saturday, but lack of publicity up to this point has lessened his hopes. “1 believe that here’s an opportunity for those who enjoy intercollegiate wrestling to get a chance to see some high class bouts,” said Michael.

One such article appeared in the through the Open University Educational Significance of the merits our respectful attention.” Future Magazine. As the Shanes “Although it will be a struggle, wrote after their interview with in a mobile and flexible society, Mr. James: “What is taking place we must build in new educational flexibility,” Mr. James stated. There are four pilot programs being developed to see if the Open University method can be related to the American credit-hour system. Rutgers, University of Maryland, University of Houston and California State University at San Diego all have open programs in existence. Power systems Americans may be hesitant to enroll in such a university. “In the United States, there is a distinct advantage to having graduated from certain ‘name’ schools, much like having gone to your Oxford,” said Mr. James. “Do you see this as a disadvantage to the Open University graduates?” asked the Shanes. ”1 think all societies have their power systems,’2 replied Mr. James. However,' Mr. James sees a trend to break-down the prestigious school systems: “We are moving into a world where universities other than your Ivy League institutions provide the vast number of well-qualified persons.” He continued: ‘The stranglehold of the old systems is disappearing. Furthermore, our highly motivated, extremely dedicated part-time adult student, who has to organize his studies with his work life and with social and domestic responsibilities, will have little trouble in being seen as superior to the full-time 18-to-21-year-old student at conventional universities.” Hockey new: Bulls battle Knights at Clarkson tonight by Dave G winger four goals by Cantwell in the third period in defeating Norwich, a Division II playoff squad last After traveling to Garkson season.

At Garkson, Buffalo will face a “We didn’t jell for about the squad that peppered Norwich first 1S minutes,” said Dick Cook, goaltender Bill Cantwell with 70 Clarkson’s sports information shots in winning their opener director.

Garkson put 2-0. We got one back near the end of the first period,” Cook added. Sports Editor How you express yourself depends upon your camera Lines to be juggled Bull coach Ed Wright plans to juggle his lines for the Clarkson game in an effort to get mote production from John Stranges’ line. “We’ve moved Andre Poirier up with Stranges and Billy Reid,” said Wright. “[Doug] Bowman now has [Tom] Schratz and [Mike] Dixon with him,” Wright added. Wright indicated that John Moore, who yielded eight goals in the Friday night loss to Bowling Green, would probably start both the Kent State and the crucial Oswego contest Tuesday n^L Today almost everybody is getting into photography And it’s not the snapshot variety. People are doing sports stories, nature stories, portraits—you may even have a friend who’s doing photographs through a microscope. Or a telescope. You also know that everybody has his own idea about which camera is best. That’s why it's important for you to know about the Canon FI. Because it’s the system camera that's fast becoming the favorite of professionals. And the new status symbol among photography enthusiasts. The whole F-1 system includes over 40 lenses and 200 accessories. It s capable of doing virtually everything in photography So whatever idea you have for a picture, the FI has the equipment to make sure you get it. Because it was conceived from the beginning as a system, it works as a system. All the elements are quickly and easily interchangeable. No matter which lens or accessory you use with the FI body you won’t have the feeling that something has been "tacked on.” What's more the FI is comfortable to handle. Years ofresearch went into the design of the FI body and placement of controls so your fingers fall naturally into place. You’ll appreciate this comfort when you're on assignment. It’s also an important thing to keep in mind if you're investing in a camera you plan to keep a long time. Canon has been in the optics industry over 37 years. We make microscope equipment, amateur and professional movie cameras and TV lenses. It's this experience that helps make our stiH cameras the best selling cameras in Japan. In America, it's justa matter of time. See your dealer for more information. He'll also show you Canon s other SLR cameras, like the Fib and TLb Both of which offer accurate metering, easy film loading, a widerange of lenses and the same standard of engineering that goesinto the F-1.

In the face of a Supreme Court decision last January legalizing abortion throughput the United States, anti-abortion forces are now mobilizing to overthrow that decision by passing a Constitutional amendment. Other forms of anti-abortion legislation, most of which limit abortion practice, have been introduced into the House of Representatives and the Senate. In the Buffalo area, both anti-abortion and pro-abortion forces are making grass roots efforts in the renewed battle. Their main strategies are to encourage people to contact their legislators and to “educate” the public by presenting their positions in public forums. Thirteen states have passed resolutions urging Congress to pass a Constitutional amendment prohibiting abortion. While there have been over 20 separate bills introduced in Congress calling for a Constitutional amendment, three main proposed amendments are receiving the most attention. busing; controversies which continue to rage in states despite a definitive High Court ruling. Senate hearings on all the proposed anti-abortion legislation are expected early next year. After these hearings take place, the bills will be sent to sub-committees for review, placing them in essentially the same position as they are now, according to Mr. Landes. If a proposed Constitutional amendment was passed by both the House and Senate, it would still require ratification by three-fourths of the state legislatures to become a law. “Until the talk of impeachment broke, there was more correspondence to Capitol Hill about abortion than any other issue,” said Mr. Landes. The large majority of this ‘From conception on’ A “right-to4ife” amendment sponsored by Rep. Larry Hogan (D., Md.) seeks to insure that due process and equal protection are offered to an individual “from the moment of conception.” Mr. Hogan has introduced a “discharge petition,” which would move his proposed amendment directly to the House floor, bypassing review by the judiciary committee, and taking priority over all other business. This petition requires 218 signatures (a majority of the House). It has received approximately 35 signatures to date, and faces a December 1974 deadline. Senator James Buckley (Con., N.Y.) has proposed a Constitutional amendment that says the word “person” as uaed in tho Fifth and Fourteenth amendments shah apply to all human beings, “including their offspring at every stage of their biological development.” This amendment, co-sponsored by seven other senators, allows abortion only when “continuation of the pregnancy will cause the death' of the mother.” Some can refuse A third bill sponsored by Virginian Rep. G. William Whitehurst says that nothing in the Constitution shall bar any state “from allowing regulating, or prohibiting the practice of abortion.” This amendment would return jurisdiction over abortion to the states, essentially the same policy that was followed before the Supreme Court decision last January. Hospitals or clinics can presently refuse abortions on the grounds of conscience. In accordance with the Church Amendment to the Health Programs Extension Act, any hospital or health care facility can refuse to perform abortions or sterilizations if these procedures are against the beliefs of medical or administrative personnel. An amendment to the Legal Services Corporation bill, passed by the House and awaiting Senate action, prohibits legal aid lawyers from representing a woman suing a hospital for refusing her a non-therapeutic abortion. Also, a proposed amendment to the Social Security Act would prohibit Medicaid payments for abortions except in cases of medical necessity. It has been argued that these proposed bills, if passed, would make it difficult for a woman with a low income to obtain an abortion. Discharge petition No success in the near future is foreseen for the Hogan bill, according to Paul Landes, legislative assistant to Rep. correspondence was anti-abortion. There are several groups Hogan. Only 35 of the 218 signatures needed for the lobbying against abortion in Washington, notably the discharge petition have been received, although many Human Life Amendment, composed of New York State members of the House are swaying in their opinion on the the National Right to Life Committee (NRLC), bill. “It depends on how much pressure can be applied to residents, National Youth for Right to Life, and Maryland Right to them to change their minds,” said Mr. Landes. Life. If the discharge petition prove* unsuccessful, the Hogan bill, like any of the proposed amendments, will Majority farms have to be approved in committee review for further In April 1973, a Harris Poll showed that 52% of the action. “No action is expected in committee. That is why American public favored the Supreme Court's decision to tiie discharge petition is so important to this bfll,” said Mr letalize abortion. Pro-abortion forces fear that a strong, Landes. well-financed anti-abortion drive could significantly erode "Hogan doesn’t have a chance,” said Chuck this popular support. Fitzpatrick, legislative assistant to Rep. Whitehurst. ‘The “Since the Right to Life group here began its judiciary committee has an abhorrence for approving education drive, appealing strongly to guilt and Constitutional amendments,” he added. The passage of a emotionalism, we have noticed some reversal of opinion Constitutional amendment to prohibit abortion would here in Buffalo,” said Diane raise the issue of the separation of powers, since the local pro-abortion campaign. Bettencourt, leader of the “At times, the Right to Life Supreme Court has specifically ruled that abortions are people compare abortions with the massacre of Jews in constitutional, Mr. Fitzpatrick explained. He compared the Hitler’s Germany or of the Indians in the country,” she abortion issue to that of prayer in public schools and said. “We want to be called ‘pro-life’, not ‘anti-abortion*,” said Helen Greene, chairperson of the Western New York Right to Life Committee. Although the NRLC is not specifically backing one bill, “States’ rights won’t answer anything," said Ms. Greene. “We are eager for hearings on any bill to protect all life, including that of the fetus, the elderly, the mentally retarded,” she added. Noting her group’s exceptional success in the Buffalo area, Ms. Greene said: “The greatest majority of people in this area are pro-life.” The people’s voice Both the pro-life and pro-abortion groups are depending on popular support for their positions. “It’s got to be the voice of the people. The law must be a reflection of what the majority of people feel,” said Ms. Greene. While the various Right to Life groups are autonomous, they “were forced to gather together as one on a national level in the face of the Supreme Court decision.” “We’re not trying to be spectacular, loud, or nasty,” said Ms. Greene. “We can only influence those legislators that we vote for,” she added. Ms. Greene said she did not know of any pro-life lobbying groups in Washington. Most Rev. Edward D. Head, Bishop of Buffalo, released a statement from the National Conference of Catholic Bishops in late October reaffirming its commitment to a Constitutionalamendment granting fetal rights, and urging early hearings on the amendments pending in Congress. The statement encourages individuals to contact their legislators and suggests the development of “public information programs on the subject of abortion.” Funding questioned There have been disputes about the funding of the pro-life forces. “We’re quite sure they’re funded by the Catholic Church,” Ms. Bettencourt said. “We are not being supported by any organization,” Ms. Greene responded. “Right now we don’t have a penny.” However, she explained that the New York State Right to Life organization has just written to the Bishops of the United States and to various rabbis asking that they financially support the pro-life forces. “This is the first time we have asked for help from anyone,” she emphasized. Asked about the source of income for the pro-abortion movement, Ms. Bettencourt answered: “We’re not really funded. We’re pretty broke. We finance it ourselves individually.” Ms. Greene explained the basic argument: “We are protecting life the life of the fetus, of the aged, of mongoloid infants, of those about whom the claim is made that they do not have a meaningful life.” - Yes or no “We are talking about the life of the child, as a whole person,” she continued. “There either is life or there is no life. An unborn child is not fully developed. But neither is a paraplegic. Should a paraplegic be denied his legal rights because he is not fully developed? As long as there is life, we have to protect it,” she concluded. Pro-abortion advocates consider abortion as part of every woman’s right to control their own bodies, Ms. Bettencourt explained. The Right to Life groups argue that “potential life has more rights than actual life,” she said, ignoring the rights of the mother as to whether or not she wants to have a child. Explaining that laws prohibiting abortions were originally devised to protect women from unsafe abortions, Ms. Bettencourt added; “Abortion laws never prevented abortions. They only prevented safe abortions. Many women died or were maimed in the process of nondegal abortions.” Citizen fetus The psychological difficulties and higher delinquency rates among unwanted children, and the reduction of maternal deaths resulting from childbirth, are further reasons for permitting abortions, Mr. Bettencourt said. In addition, granting the fetus equal protection under the law would create a new sphere of legal difficulties with regard to the status of the “fetus citizen,” said Ms. Bettencourt. Regarding the Church amendment to the Health Programs Extension Act, Ms. Bettencourt said: “How can an institution be allowed to set a policy against abortion for all of its employees when only tome of them are anti-abortion?” She does not believe that this legislation had significantly restricted abortion practices in Buffalo. Little action in Congress is expected on the proposed anti-abortion amendments until next spring when he»ri«»g« may be held. Meanwhile, it appears that the battle between pro-abortion and pro-life forces will continue to rase for a longtime. �X Assassination a conspiracy? by Richard Deep Spectrum Staff Writer “It is our contention that Lee Harvey Oswald was not the lone assassin. We feel it is extremely unlikely that he fired a single shot. It follows then that the Warren Commission’s report can be branded ‘political truth’ and that their conclusions are plainly and simply a lie,” said David Williams at the unveiling of a most provocative series of slides and Him on the assassination of John F. Kennedy in Dallas, Tecas on November 22, 1963. Using information compiled by various independent investigators and visual evidence provided by the Washington, D.C. Committee to Investigate Assassinations, Mr. Williams and his partner Harvey Yazijian intrigued, astounded* and captivated the more than 600 persons gathered in*the Moot Courtroom of O’Brian Hall last Friday. As part of a larger organization called Assassination Infromation Bureau based in Cambridge, Massachusetts, their purpose is to generate (or re-generate) questions in people’s minds as to the validity of the Warren Commission’s report on the Kennedy assassination. That report, officially accepted by President Lyndon Johnson, concluded after ten months of study that Lee Harvey Oswald and Jack Ruby had each- acted alone and the case appeared closed. Fatal day targets, with as much time as they needed to aim their first shot. Only one agent could even fire the three rounds required. According to the Warren report, Oswald had eight-tenths of a second to aim his first shot! The Secret Service tried the same thing in Dallas from the spot where Oswald fired his first shot. It was discovered that his view of the car from the Depository window was totally blocked by an oak tree. Messrs. Yazijian and Williams continued to strengthen their theories corrections with appropriate slides. A photo of the Book Depository window from which Oswald allegedly fired revealed a blurred object. “This photo was taken two and one-half seconds before the shooting,” narrated Mr. Williams. “A photo-optic analysis of the object by ITEK Corp. proved conclusively that the object was a box.” The scene changed to a diagram of President Kennedy and Governor Connally in the limousine. A red line indicated the trajectory of the bullet the Warren Commission claimed passed through President Kennedy and injured GovernorConnally. “As we can see,” said Mr. WilliamsWcasti'cally, "fired from above the President, the bullet enters his neck at a slightly upward angle, takes a right turn, goes downward into Connally, breaks his fifth rib, his wrist in seven places and lodges in his thigh. Truly an amazing bullet!” Messrs. Williams and Yazijian utilized over a hundred slides to point out unexplained events, conflicts in stories and improbable incidents. Mr. Williams elaborated on a picture of Oswald, where he is shown holding the supposed murder rifle and two pro-Communist newspapers. “Strangely enough,” he noted, “there seemed to have been two suns in the sky that day.” The shadow that Oswald cast went one way and the shadow of the stairs he was standing next to went the other way, Mr. Williams explained. In Oswald's own words, “that’s my head but that’s not my body.” Oswald’s, at larger, non-moving J.f.K. Starting with a brief slide summary, Mr. Williams recreated the events that took place on that fatal day in Dallas. President Kennedy went to Texas at the urging of his Vice-President Lyndon Johnson and Texas Governor John Connally to strengthen his marginal political base there. His plane arrived at Love Field at noon. A motorcade, with the President riding in an open-top limousine, proceeded through the streets of Dallas enroute to a luncheon speaking engagement at the Dallas Trade Mart. While passing through Dealy Plaza, shots rang out, killing President Kennedy and wounding Governor Conhally. The apparent origin of the gunfire was the Texas School Book Depository. At 1:16 p.m. in the Oakcliff section of Dallas, Officer J.D. Tippit was shot and killed in pursuit of a suspect. The suspect was apprehended in a Texas theater at 1:50 p.m. Lee Harvey Oswald, a reputed leftist known to have spent time in Russia, was charged with the Tippit slaying. Immediate assurances came from Washington that his man had acted alone in the assassination of JFK. Two days later, before a national television audience and despite tight security, Oswald was shot to death by night club owner Jack Ruby. Ruby told police he didn’t like the smirk on Oswald’s face and wanted to spare Jackie and the kids the ordeal of the trial. The Warren Commission concluded from the events that occurred on November 22 that three shots were fired, their origin was the Texas School Book Depository, all three shots came from behm ;he President, and one bullet had passed through President Kennedy and injured Governor Connally. Ten minutes into their hour-and-a-half program, Mr. Yazijian set into motion the long-suppressed Abraham Zapruder film, twelve seconds of “the most important piece of p'ictographic evidence” ever filmed. “It is a bootleg-film in the true sense of the word,” explained Mr. Williams. “It is a copy of a copy. The grain quality is very bad.” The film started with the Presidential motorcade moving down Elm Street. Mr. and Mrs. Kennedy were seated in the rear of the first car, Governor Connally and his wife in front of the Kennedys. The viewers lost sight of the car as it disappeared behind a highway sign. When the car emerged, John Kennedy was starting to reach for his throat, the first indication he had been shot. Con~ i! y. yet showed no reaction. As JFK’s hands reached his throat, Connally started to turn to his right. Then he abruptly turned left, the first sign that he too had been hit. As the President started to slump into the arms of his wife, he was hit by the fatal bullet. The film showed very clearly the right front side of President Kennedy’s head exploding into a mass of blood and skull fragments shooting six feet into the air. His entire body was thrown backward with the force of the impact. Finally, Secret Service agent Clint Hill climbed onto the back of the limousine as it sped out of camera range to Parkland ' Hospital. With almost blatant disregard for those with weak stomachs, Yazijian re-ran the film several times in slow-motion and stop-action, concentrating on the fatal shot. Their purpose was two-fold. By utilizing the mechanics of the camera, it was possible to determine the length of time between the first and final shots. It was also possible to determine the general direction from which the shots were fired by the movement of the President and the Governor after they were hit. Impossible feat “Knowing that the camera moves at 18.3 frames per second, and that the entire assassination took place in about 93 frames, the total time was therefore about five seconds,” explained Mr. Williams. They contended that Oswald, who was a rather poor shot at best, could not possibly have fired those shots in the allotted time with the supposed murder weapon. The rifle, an Italian-made Mannlicher-Carcano, was a bolt-action model owned by Oswald and commonly called “the humane rifle” because it could never hurt anyone. In addition, Oswald’s gun had a bad scope mounting. Sharpshooters with capabilities far beyond Oswald's tried to duplicate his feat in an FBI re-enactment. They were unsuccessful, shooting from a position half as high as In the question and answer period that followed, the obvious question came: “Who was responsible?” Messrs. Williams and Yazijian said they didn’t know. They suspected a conspiracy, but did not have enough evidence to name anyone in particular. When asked if they suspected Richard Nixon, Mr. Yazijian replied; “I’m not going to tell you that President Nixon was involved until I have proof up to here,” stretching his arm to its full length above his head. Conclusive evidence has been almost impossible to obtain because 15 of the 18 key witnesses to the assassination are now dead. Based on their average life expectancy, the odds against this happening are one hundred thousand trillion to one. Of the fifteen who died, five were murdered, three died in motor vehicle accidents, three from suicide, two of natural cuases, one from a slit throat and one from a karate chop on the neck. People came from as far away as Rochester to listen and see who killed John F. Kennedy. Judging from the almost two hours of questions, if the aim of Messrs. Williams and Yazyian was to generate questions in people’s minds, they accomplished it. �> Students stand on no arming by JulianKlazkin Spectrum Staff Writer “The students of this campus are unequivocably opposed to guns of any sort, in any number, carried by anyone. Students cannot and will not accept the decision to arm that was made sometime ago at a meeting when four of the five student representatives were not present.” This was the representative opinion of the Student Assembly and Student Association (SA) executive committee in a written response to the recent arming proposal of the sub-committee on ... selective arming. The response was requested by President Robert Ketter in an attempt to assess the opinions of all student and faculty groups before he acts on the matter sometime after December 1. In addition to the lack of student input at the time of the sub-committee’s decision. Student Rights coordinator Cliff Palefsky said the report was unworkable since it did not provide security for the Amherst Campus. However, allowances for Amherst were added to the su b c o m m i 11 e e s final recommendations. ‘Hardly adequate’ The subcommittee’s are recommendations UNIQUE FABRICS itj (from Africa & anywhere hi the country.” Arming of any kind is unacceptable to the Student Association, he stated. ‘Adequate response’ Opposing the SA, the Professional Staff Senate (FSS) recently endorsed MacAllister Hull’s subcommittee’s guidelines for selective arming by a 17-2-1 vote. The PSS report stated that the Hull subcommittee had considered several alternatives to “provide an adequate response to the threat posed by armed individuals who attack or threaten to attack persons on campus.” In these situations the options were; calling the Buffalo police, using dogs, ignoring the situation, or selectively arming Capus Security officers. The PSS believes selective arming “to be the most sound for committee would be composed of the campus community.” faculty, students and staff.

Faculty opposition Dr. Ketter is reportedly unopposed to the idea, but opposition is expected from the Faculty-Senate.

The Security force consists of five plainclothed investigators per shift, two uniformed lieutenants and one plainclothed captain. Since the guidelines stipulate that investigators will not be armed, only one plainclothed captain would be available for arming. This solution is “hardly an adequate response to anything,” said Mr. Palefsky. He believed the subcommittee began its deliberations with the faulty premise that “guns are needed on this campus, when it appears from the recommendations that none of the sub-committee members really believe it or desire it.*’ Mr. Palefsky stressed the importance of the developments since the original subcommittee convened almost three years ago. The campus crime rate is down 38 per cent while nationwide crime is still on the increase, he explained, crediting the decrease “to the excellent job the Security force has done.” Specifically, he attributed the change to policies better suited to a University campus and the excellent working relationship between SA and Security.

New studies claiming to demonstrate ‘scientifically’ the old notion that black people are inferior, have been rapidly spreading in professional literature, texts and respectable popular magazines. Even more ominously, it is now being taught as fact in classrooms across the country." This is the opening paragraph of a resolution against • racism, signed by five of its University’s faculty members. Professors James Lawler (Philosophy); Ann Haskell (English); Roger Woock (chairman of the Department of Social Foundation); Curtis Mettlui and Sidney Willhelm (Sociology) signed the. statement along with a number of distinguished scholars from across the country. Conference on racism The resolution is associated with a conference on Racism and the University, being held at the Loeb Center of New York University this weekend. The conference will include both speeches and workshops on topics like I aand Genetics; The Culture of Poverty and Inequality of Education. Racist philosophies which the universities allegedly espouse through teaching will be studied. The conference will also focus on racism within the structure of the universities themselves: issues like admissions, hiring, curriculum and teacher training. Finally, the discussions will study the rationalization and justification of racism in certain government policies such as economics, medicine, social welfare and the law’s relation to the media. Several of Buffalo’s signees are expected to attend the conference, designed to develop methods to combat the propagation of racist ideas. Dr. Willhelm feels the new “racist studies” are “one-sided in that intelligence tests show whites to be mentally superior only because the tests are designed solely by whites.” The doctrine of racial supremacy is with us again. New studies claiming to demonstrate “scientifically” the old notion that black people are inferior have been rapidly spreading in professional literature, texts and respectable popular magazines. Even more ominously, it is now being taught as fact in classrooms across the country. The leading contemporary protagonists of this theory include Artnur Jensen (Berkeley), Hans Eysenck (London), Richard Herrnstein (Harvard), and William Shockley (Stanford). Basing their conclusions on the results of aptitude, achievement and I.Q. tests, these theorists claim that black or other oppressed peoples are genetically endowed with less intelligence than the dominant group. They sweep aside the fact that tests of any oppressed group in a stratified society measure only that group’s social rejection and not its relative intelligence. Jensen asserts: ‘There are intelligence genes, which are found in populations in different proportions, somewhat like the distribution of blood types. The number of intelligence genes seems to be lower, overall, in the black population than in the white.” (The New York Times Magazine, 31 August 1969, p. 43). And Shockley iclaims, “Nature has color coded groups of individuals so that statistically reliable predictions of their adaptability to intellectually rewarding and effective lives can easily be made and profitably used by the pragmatic man on the street.” (Boston Sunday Globe, 12 September 1971, Sec. A, p. 6). f- ' Continuing advisement ; Theories of racial ;■ ' V* •. 7 inferiority are {■ ■ , untenable by the evidence of human history: every population has developed its own complex culture. Contrary to the supremacist view, the peoples of Africa and Asia have, at various times, produced civilizations far more advanced than those existing simultaneously in Europe. Moreover, the constant geographical shift of centers of culture is in itself proof of the equal capabilities of all peoples. It is nonsense to suppose genetic superiority wandering about the world. The doctrine of racial inferiority is thus unscientific as well as socially vicious. Its sole claim to objectivity rests on a veneer of scientific techniques that covers distortion and false assumptions. Indeed, the current “master-race” ideas are once again being discredited in the scientific literature (cl. R. Lewontin, Bull Atomic Set. March 1970; S. Searr-Salapatek, Science, 174:4016; 178:4058; C. Brace, et al. Anthropological Studiet, No. 8. Am. Anth. Assn.). Nevertheless, the generators of this new racism persist in their bigotry. Their theories, despite their academic garb, do not differ in their scientific character or their social effects from those advanced by American slave-owners, the Nazis, or the advocates of apartheid in South Africa. Racist ideas, if it were not for their political and economic role in justifying oppression and exploitation, would long since have joined phlogiston and geocentric theories of the universe in the mausoleum of science. The resolution against racism reads in part: Our common human heritage has endowed all groups of people with equal intellectualabilities. Of course there are secondary physical differences. Nobody denies this. But they have nothing to do with intelligence. Research involving these differences must not be misused to support theories ofracial inferiority. Racist theoreticians have recently sought sanction and protection in the concept of academic freedom. This is a subterfuge. It is true that academic freedom protects the right to free inquiry and to the expression of controversial ideas. But it is not license to justify oppression. It was no more intended to protect racism than verbal assault or libel, with which racism has mpraih qommpn fitqrmt hds with frie' jftutleeiual inquiry. Nor, in the light of all the evidence, can the ' idiology of racism be legitimately Bailed "controversial" qtfd , open to debate. It is a false doctrine that serves only to facilitate brutalization and exploitation. Thus, because it is both socially, pernicious and scientifically incorrect, its proponents forfeit any right to academic protection. use of the academy to further racist oppression must be halted. We therefore call upon our colleagues to: 1) Urge their university senates to adopt measures designed to eliminate classroom racism. 2) Urge professional organizations and societies, academic departments and editors of scholarly journals to condemn and refuse to disseminateracist The v research. 3) Expose the unscientific character of racist ideas so as to deny them the appearance of legitimacy provided by academia. 4) Organize and support activities to eliminate racist practices and ideas wherever they occur."

County Executive is a dumb name; it should be regional mayor or metro-mayor,” said Erie County Executive Ned Regan, summarizing his opinion of how people view county government. Mr. Regan discussed a wide range of topics involving county government in an informal seminar with University students and teachers Friday night in Foster Hall. The role of county government, especially in the city of Buffalo, was scrutinized. “We arc emerging as the area government and it is increasingly clear that the county government is more important. It’s bigger, has more money, and is an umbrella-type government,” Mr. Regan explained. Erie County employs 9500 people and has a $300 million budget. ‘I’m trying to condition people that the phrase ‘county-city’ is archaic,” the Republican explained. There is no uniform pattern of local government throughout the country, according to Mr. Regan. In Erie County there are 44 cities, towns and villages, and the county government brings a lot more to bear on the everyday quality of peoples lives than any individual city government, he noted. “We govern in the city of Buffalo,” Mr. Regan asserted. Speaking of his fellow county executives, he said: “We think the whole idea of the ‘Big Six’ mayors and all their lobbying power in Washington is pretty funny.” Mr. Regan expressed his willingness to work with Buffalo Mayor Stanley Makowski; “I’m in and out of his office all the time.” He and Mayor Makowski have had similar experiences in city government, he noted, and are on very good terms: “All of that kind of phony protocol simply does not exist between Mayor Makowski and myself.” Mr. Regan described his long-rage ideas for Eric County. “We’re moving toward a metropolitan government and a two-tier, county-community system. We set. ourselves up as a kind of background technical government, and then we encourage decision-making at the local level,” Mr. Regan said. “You should not have a large, depersonalized government deciding which kinds of community recreations there should be,” he continued, “or you have this gradual sifting and sorting of government services.” Unified services between the state and the county arc necessary, Mr. Regan believes, because “we can’t afford to pay for what ‘Uncle Nelson’ can. Meaningful relationship A successful University-county relationship could be beneficial for both, Mr. Regan said. “My goal is to take the talent at this University and use that as an asset. Universities can attract industries, and industries mean jobs, and that’s very healthy. University members, including Academic Affairs vice-president Bernard Gelbaum, were trying to generate spinoffs that could help provide technological information to nearby businesses.” Mr. Regan claimed he was genuinely interested in the University, but that contact was difficult because many students are disinterested in community affairs. “I read The Spectrum we send The Spectrum everything we do and assume it gets , thrown in the nearest wastebasket.” However, there the is a great deal of staff-to-staff contact between be should this the and University, county and said. studied, he Addressing himself to more specific issues, Mr. Regan believes the recently-defeated Buffalo Convention Center would have been beneficial in the long range. He feels it should be supported by taxpayers money. “It is conceivable that we could take it over and do it, but that’s doubtful.

The next issue will deal the problems of and the with the politics of ageism towards the aging in society. attitudes by Ivy Palmer Staff Writer Spectrum Women’s Voices is a campus publication that is difficult for many people to find. The staff of Women’s Voices has published five issues dealing with problems encountered by modem women since theproject was bom in the Women’s Study College in the summer of 1972. The editors of Women ’s Voices have been successful in involving community women of varying economic and ethnic backgrounds, as well as students, in their coalition. In an effort to become more broadly-based, the magazine moved its office to Norton Hall last summer (where it still has no permanent room). The editorial staff undergoes changes each semester, and any woman wishing to participate is welcome. Women’s Voices is very much a collective effort. While individual articles express personal opinion, the magazine merges many points of view into a cohesive whole. However, most of the women have overlapping priorities and interests, which they feel is true of the women’s movement as a whole. Women’s interests There is room for disagreement though. Editor Carolyn Holt feels that Women's Voices is feminist, but “not stridently or aggressively so,” while fellow editor Gloria Beutner thinks it is aggressively feminist and “this is a positive thing.” They both agree the magazine seeks to work with all women’s interests, and is not against reformism, which advocates altering or adjusting the existing structure of society. Women's Voices ks to print articles by women with a positive attitude who are trying to break out of traditional feminine roles and stereo-types. The magazine - Inadequate funds Like the other special interest publications on campus, Women’s Voices is funded by Sub-Board. The editors contend they are not getting adequate funds and have requested additional money. However, there has been no action on last May’s request for a larger budget. They also want Women’s Voices re-classified by Sub-Board, because women, though technically considered a “minority” on campus, constitute too large a part of the student population to be labelled a “special interest” group. Women’s Voices aims to become a broadly-based and self-sustaining publication. The editors are presently filing to incorporate on a non-profit basis. They want to initiate legal and financial actions on behalf of women, and would like more feedback from both women and men on the contents of their magazine. They have not received any letters from men, thus far, but the editors are more than willing to print them in the correspondence box in each issue. Letters addressed to Women's Voices should be deposited in Box M in Norton Hall. Exceeding demand The present circulation of Women’s Voices is 3000 copies, hardly enough to meet the demand on and off campus, which seems to be growing with each succeeding issue. It is free on campus and available at the information desk in Norton Hall, the lunchroom at Ridge Lea, the Women’s Studies College at 108 Winspear, and the Law School at Amherst. The magazine sells for fifteen cents off-campus and can usually be found at the New Women’s Center and the Y.W.C.A. Women can submit fiction, poetry, and photography to Women’s Voices.

Their particular brand of mayhem is steeped in socio-politico ramblings from the esoteric “Get Your Biscuits in the Oven and Your BunVin the Bed,” an ode to Women’s Lib and its inevitable success over manhood to “Sold American” with such stunning lyricism as: “Faded, Jaded, Falling Cowboy — — — g .

The one graduate and one undergraduate would be non-voting because faculty contracts mandate exclusive "peer review" and because a proposal for voting students would have little political hope of succeeding. However, the mere presence of two students on the influential tenure board would be an important step toward true student participation in decision-making at this University. As we have noted before, a prestige-conscious University often places undue stress on publishing prowess and many excellent teachers get canned in the process. When this happens, it is students who must pay the price of an inferior education. Students must have input into the tenure process, simply because they are the individuals most affected. The argument that students cannot properly evaluate faculty members is paternalistic hogwash and an insult to today's sophisticated students. While the actual vote will remain in faculty hands, the two students would make sure procedures were above-board and register vital input on behalf of the student body. The proposal is now headed for the Faculty-Senate executive committee; if they approve. Dr. Ketter will almost certainly acquiesce. One obstacle is the closed-shop attitude exhibited by many faculty members who want no student infringement on their tenure prerogatives. While hard-headed faculty members scoff at there students attempting to evaluate the job they're doing, more open-minded professors recognize how valuable student feedback is in maintaining a quality faculty. A Fac Sen rejection.of this proposal would be a severe setback to student participation and any sense of faculty-student solidarity. We strongly urge the Faculty-Senate to face reality and recognize that students must have a voice in determining what professors remain at this University to try to educate them. The right to choose "Pro-life groups, to use the popular misnomer, haven't accepted the Supreme Court's legalization of abortion last January and are attempting to pass a constitutional amendment to outlaw abortion. As the law now stands, safe abortions are available to those who have no desire to bear a child, who are not financially or emotionally prepared to raise a child; in short, to those who want them. Just as no one forces people to pay $5 to see pornographic movies, no one is forcing those who find abortions morally wrong to have one. Why must they impose their morality on those who do not agree? Does not every woman have the right to control her own body? What gives these self-righteous anti-abortion crusaders the right to dictate morality to others? The emotional arguments that the "pro-life” forces rely on calling abortions "murder", showing color slides of underlines their strategy of aborted fetuses in test tubes fears to people's win their point. The Church, exploiting which preyed upon people's fears of Hell for centuries, is backing the movement. But although abortions were illegal for thousands of years, women resorted to homemade remedies or unsanitary backroom quacks. Before 1970, those with money had easy access to illegal abortions; the poor did not. Legalizing abortions simply made them universally available. Outlawing abortions would actually mean outlawing safe abortions; the rich can always "find a doctor," while lower-income wornfen would be forced to choose between unsanitary hack jobs or the burden of unwanted children. The question of whether it is better to abort a fetus or allow an unwanted child to be born and suffer through the miserty of either poverty, having no father, being raised out of wedlock, inattention, or the resentment of parents who didn't want him is essentially a moral one. No Government or church or outside authority can answer that question for people; it is the woman who must bear the child; it is the woman' and her partner who must decide. The pro-life moralists fail to consider personal choice, individual liberty, the human miserty of an unwanted child for both the infant and the parents. Their "fetal rights" platform conveniently ignores the rights of the mother. If anyone were to tell the crusaders with the color fetus slides that they could or couldn't have children, they would be outraged; yet they attempt to dictate morality to others, to substitute their self-righteous mandates for individual choice. Three years ago this state emerged from the Dark Ages with the passage of a sane, humane abortion law; one year ago the Supreme Court ratified it. We must not allow any political coalition to eradicate every woman's right to decide whether or not she will bear a child. — - CAMPUS UNREST innovation. ‘The notion that increased Collegiate support presupposes university growth is untenable,” Evaluation Committee. “An increase [to Why do we need five educators from outside the stated the is wholly warranted by the fact that Colleges) the to tell us what we should University come to Buffalo the present fiscal arrangement results in heavy have known all along about the Colleges? ‘The subsidy of departmental activities by the Colleges at present Collegiate system is too valuable to lose and their own expense.” too chaotic to survive,” reported the External faculty have also defaulted in their The preserved and “Its virtues can be Evaluating Team. to the Colleges.

CIA fantasies To the Editor As a black man and a studnet, I object to the letter published from one Clara English of NCLC on CIA fascism. First, everyone knows Clara English is a phoney name used by the Buffalo Labor Committee to hide behind. They’re afraid to come out and be seen for the racists they really are. Phoney Clara talks about Imamu Baraka and Newark. What does she know about Baraka, Newark and the ghetto? Clara and the rest of the BLC never saw the sun set in the ghetto and go home every night to the comfort and secwrity>of their old man's home after playing revolutionary all day. Has phoney Clara ever been to Newark? I have, and I can tell you Baraka has done more for the people than the NCLC who run around chasing thentails and having nightmares about the CIA. Baraka has brought pride to the people, pride in the black nation. Let the NCLC with their CIA fantasies try to stop Baraka. They will be met on every front. Any expose will only show the NCLC to be the racists they arc and increase the pride of the people. A warning keep the Revolutionary Youth out Movement ofxour commupityy.

Now the Triple Crown-superhorse will spend the rest of his days in stud to the tune of over $6 million in fees. It speaks ill of our sports entrepreneurs’ imagination, since they haven’t seen the obvious oppbrtunity to extend that logic and make a pile. Our beef barons should give serious consideration to extending this sensible breeding practice to human athletes. LOS ANGELES (DPI) Five-time Olympic gold medalist Mark Spitz and his managers today signed an unprecedented $11 million stud contract. The swimming star will provide services for a record 47 female swimmers annually over the next 15 years, with the number dropping after that by four annually to keep pace with Spitz’s “declining reproductive abilities.” Lawyers for former Indiana University swimming coach James Councilman, now head of the Spitz stables, said the signing did not mean an end to negotiations aimed at working out a breeding agreement between Spitz and Australian swimming star Shane Gould. The Gould interests are reportedly holding out for $2.5 million, their pick of the litter and freedom to “pick up a little action on the side.’’ The disagreement, according to sources close to the negotiations, is the last condition. — Health care And if the opportunities in legitimate business weren’t fascinating and lucrative enough, To the Editor. think of the possibilities in illegitimate trade. This letter it in reference to your article of 31 October 1973: “Comprehensive health system being planned.” There appears to be tome misunderstanding as to what I meant by a “centralized health unit,” in my interview with your reporter. I feel that it is important that I clarify my position on the implementation of a comprehensive health care system for students at this university. I fylly support Dr. Donald A. Larson’s proposal for such a system. My version of a centralized unit is essentially the same as Dr. Larson’s version of an ambulatory care center. I basically said the same things in different words. Now let me explain what I meant by the “geographical impossibility” of such a unity. At the present time, the physical limitations of the Main Campus will not allow the centralization of all health care sectors into one geographical location. This does not mean that I am opposed to such a unit. It is my hope that when the space becomes a reality, that the center will also become a Wednesday, reality.

B.S.U. or anyone for that matter, but because I saw myself, as a student representative, slip into a position where my time was pressured from three angles. First my position as Minority Affairs Co-ordinator which kept the majority of my time with people, trying to solve those personal and financially related problems and motivating those who I felt would assist myself in following out my ideas. Second, my main purpose for being here at this university was in jepordy, I have a 20 hour course load and I feel very dedicated to these studies to a point where I must put all things off in order to keep myself in well academic standing. This conflicted upon my position as oo-ordinater Third, I began to realize that I had no time for myself to be the person 1 wanted to be, to have time for my own personal life. This is most important to me. As co-ordinator I had no personal life, because the mote I attempted my goals in S.A. the more I became wrapped up inside them, they taunted my mind constantly until they were completed. It’s true that I had become disenchanted with the Student Association from little pressures that grew out of S.A. and the foolish attempts of others (J.S.U., UUAB, Speakers Bureau) who put me on the spot by accusing me of committing monies I hadn’t. I tell you B.S.U. and what I committed was a misinterpretation on my part. To rectify it now would be pointless. I feel very much part of this University and I plan to help shape this University from my position now as a student. I am tired of bureaucratic bullshit because it only inhibits me in accomplishing my goals.

Wedri8&8f^ Rob Williamt �Team rivalries make for great excitement Wrestling Bulk look sharper this year Last year Buffalo’s wrestling team spent a weekend in California, Pennsylvania for a match with California State. In that rural part of the state from Clarion State. Hamilton has been nicknamed both “Crazy Ed” and “The Scrambler” for his unorthodox style on and off the mat. He often forsakes the finer points of wrestling, literally gives away points, and risks getting pinned himself, in order to pin his opponent. Ed’s pattern is to start slowly and then explode, using his own special series of moves, which involves dragging the opponent back over his (Hamilton’s) own body. The results are always exciting, usually resulting in a pin victory for Hamilton. Charlie Wright takes over at 190 lbs. following a year of ineligibility after transferring from New York Maritime. Wright, like Hamilton, has few fears on the mat and likes to use the brute strength that helped him as a heavyweight in open tournaments last year. At 190,there is no telling how far he can go. just south of Pittsburgh, there was nothing better to do than talk wrestling on the bus ride from the motel to the sehool. In one such conversation, Buffalo 142-pounder Doug Stuart said: “The New York State champ is the most sought after wrestler in the country.” Last week Sutart’s words seemed prophetic, as he was beaten out of his starting position by freshman Bruce Hadsell from Canandaigua. Hadsell was one of last year’s New York State high school state champions. HadseU represents a new breed of recruit for Ed Michael’s wrestling Bulls the blue chipper.

If Brawley is moved to a guard spot to pair up with either Pope or Domzalski, the gate will be left open to start a pair of top recruits on the forward line ,with Dickinson. The man who could be trying to fill Blackmore’s big shoes could be junior Tom Tobias. Tobias, a 6-5, 220-lb. transfer from Neosho County Community College in Chanute, Kansas, averaged 16 points and 16 rebounds as an all-conference choice. Moving to the other Wednesday, 14 November forward slot would be Mike Jones, a 6-6V4 freshman from Akron, Ohio. Jones is not unfamiliar to Buffalo. He is the cousin of Rovell Jones (’71), former football tackle. it teams dot schedule A tough schedule faces the 1973-74 Bulls. Heading the list of opponents is opening-game foe The Syracuse. Orangemen participated in last year’s NCAA Eastern Regional Tournament, and are looking for continued success with four of their top six players returning this year. Last winter’s National Invitational Tournament teams also dot the Bulls’ schedule. Buffalo travels to Fairfield, quarter-finalists in last year’s NIT, and finds NIT invitee American University among the opponents in both the Lion’s Invitationsl at Steubenville and Lafeyette’s holiday invitational. Steubenville was an NCAA College Division Tournament team in 1972-73, as were Akron (quarterfinalists) and Brockport (semifinalists). Bulls to run Richardson plans on moving away from the set offense practiced during the last couple of years. “We aren’t going to get the second shot we don’t have the big man to get the rebounds for us,” commented the new head mentor. “We’re going to have to run. We’ll use a basic open offense, a passing offense, with possibly a shuffle. I’m hoping to play 10 men a ballgame, and that we’ll be in the best condition to go all out the full 40 minutes.” Hoping to increase the Bulls’ scoring over last season to about 85 points per game, Richardson will institute a pressing defense. “The key to our winning will be the success of our pressing defense,” said Richardson. “We’ll try to press all ballgame, either zone or man-to-man.” Richardson has had-much success with the running, pressing game as his cage at squad Savannah State (Alabama) led the nation in scoring in 1970-71 (106.4 points per game). He faces a tough rebuilding job with the Bulls, and a break-even season seems a realistic goal for Buffalo’s 73-74 cagers. — 1975'JThvSpectrum Page eleven. �* Harassment charged To thfEditor: VOU PROUD OF 'WHO TlMAHOE?' HE ’‘OH, DADPyf AREN'T The arrest of BSU President, Larry Williams, is another case of racist and political harassment on this campus. It exposes the real function of the campus cops: to single out militants and sock it to them. Ketter knows that pretty soon we are all going to be fighting for our survival at this school, (i.e., against budget cuts and tuition hikes, etc.), and he is moving now to arm his cops precisely to be able to enforce these cutbacks. Ketter wants to get rid of guys like Larry Williams because he is scared to death that other students will follow his lead and FIGHT BACK. The administration counts on racism to keep black students isolated; it knows that as long as students are divided along facial lines, it has got us under control. One way to defeat the racism that is Ketter’s No. 1 weapon against us all is to come to the defense of Larry Williams (City Court, Part 9, 9:30 a.m., Thursday, Nov.' 15th) and to support the present struggle of the BSU against the delays in financial aid checks. Out longer range outlook must be to build a multi-racial, international movement among students and workers that will be able to take on the racist rich that rule this country and profit from the welfare cutbacks, wage freezes, tuition hikes, inflation, etc., etc. that means deteriorating living conditions for us all.

Haynie Tolstoy College (F) State University of New York Buffalo, New York THURSDRY 12:30 in room 232 Norton 1 Stick it out, Mr. President, you can do it. Don’t let the Media which is out to get you get you. I know this letter won’t have a lot of company on compared to the pile of letters telling your desk you to quit. But I say, stay alive stay in the office you belong in. I know I’m in the minority on this, but 1 don’t care. I’ve always been in the minority, it seems to me. I remember back in 1962, I took a similarly unpopular position on a matter of public interest. It was during the reign of our Late Beloved President Kennedy, when he was trying to show he was more of a “man” than the Soviet Premier, and threatened the destruction of the world if Khrushchev didn’t back down immediately. Well, I know 1 was in the minority then, too, when I petitioned Congress, the to grab our Late somebody anybody Courts President and pull him away from the Red Button, before we all perished. I did it for personal reasons. Ithaca, that fall, was beautiful; the autumn had done wonders with the foliage life was good to me, and I wanted more of it, not less. I guess what I admire most in you as a President, is that you’re so “up front.” Let me explain: You see I am a radical by disposition, and 1 have over .a been trying to pursuade people for years decade that Democracy in America is a sham, that the rich and powerful rule like Kings, paying off politicians to get What they want, that all the plus homilies uttered by politicians are employed to in sum, that beguile the masses of simple people there is no real justice in this country. I’ve had evidence to back up what I have been God knows! I’ve had the evidence. But saying what’s evidence when someone wants to believe his President. Occasionally, a student of mine will come to appreciate what I am saying, but then time goes by, he graduates, gets a job, marries, has kids, settles down, as they say, and soon all my efforts are for nought. Until recently, it has been depressing. who are not a But just look at what you have been able to professional educator, I presume New York Times reporters, CBS News Reporters, Harvard Professors, and even National Security Council members, and even other members of the Administration, and even people talking to the President himself. The people doing the tapping are themselves tapped. And them? Maybe now the people of America can see what the First Amendment to the Constitution meant when it excluded infringements on speech and assembly. You, Mr. President have been able to show, by carrying it to its obvious, but absurd, extreme, what we have been saying. And another; We have always realized that politicians have used the faith of the simple man to their own advantage. But when you stand exposed as a lying, cheating fraud, and then get on the TV and continue to lie and cheat and then have the audacity maybe now they to ask the citizens for prayers can see how their simple faith has been exploited over the years. And another; When push comes to shove, Americans have almost always been willing to accept the recommendation of their President that Wars must be fought. Now, when you stand before them and speak of the Middle East Crisis, and the necessity for some “Cuba Missle Crisis” type confrontation, everyone watching you realizes that you have created this international crisis to solve your own domestic political difficulties. People are not so stupid, that they cannot draw the obvious conclusions that this has been done before. And finally; I guess the greatest lesson of your tenure in office has been the exposure that there is no justice. It was not sufficient that Blacks suffered from Benign Neglect, that you ignored massive protests against the War in Vietnam, stopped but integration, unfunded education, and all that most people continued for years believing that there was some sort of crude Justice. You have shown us, by firing Cox, that there isn’t. The man who would have been able to indict you for crimes, you fired, and were remarkably “up front” about why you fired him. Because he was going to sue you in court for not producing the Tapes. These have been your accomplishments, and they have been an enormous accomplishment for the radical cause, which hopes to show people what is really going on in this country. Much of course is left to do the supposed freedom of people to read what they want, the notion they have that corporations are benevalent, that the government can arrange an orderly progress into the new technological age, the faith people have that their environment won’t be raped for private profit, and so on. These naivites must be exposed, but I am fully confident that given a chance to finish your term in office you will be able to expose these simple naivites, and help the American people understand who runs their country and to what end, and maybe then, they will realize that a revolution is a necessity. Mr. President, please stay and finish the job. I have, now, complete confidence in your ability. INNOVATIVE *** I Dear Mr. President: - INVOLVING - INFORMAL EVERYONE WELCOME * * * �Mary Janitch Her art recaptures personalized reality by Erich E. Rassow Spectrum Art Critic In an article last summer, I tried to describe my affection for an exhibit by Lisa Steele in Toronto. It was a situation where the viewer and artist were cast into an immediate compact so that any kind of sound would tend to lessen the feeling for the elements of the art arrangement. The exhibit created an environment with intensely biographical material, almost forcing one to reflect on the contrived de/a vu quality of the so-called process environments where people are jumping up and down, dancing, making faces, while a camera records the activity. Even more significant is that Toronto has a very significant women’s art movement. I call it a women’s art movement because its concern for the personal is dearly unproblematic as contrasted to un-women’s art and the formal historical line of criticism which is preoccupied with personal anonymity. For example, we can look at the intrepid stare of Van Gogh’s self portraits and get the specified abstract feelings of fear, madness, and fright rather than a concept of a person. Distinction t It was these thoughts that caused me to reflect on Toronto, women’s art, and an artist in Canada, Mary Janitch, who evoked die distinction between the personal and the anonymous. Canada seems to have an almost frontier expression in its art. Technical interest not withstanding, the striated, quiet white expanse of Tim Whitten’s graphic in a September Norton Hall exhibit, spoke about those empty snow fields far up past the tree lines of Northern Canada. His tusked wood and leather sculpture was part toy and part tools reminiscent of an Eskimo artifact. David Bolduc, with all the formalistic venue of an Olitski or Bannard, painted the auroral quality of the artic lights glow, when the intermittent mix of the setting and rising midnight sun stretches luminous bands of orange color across the horizon. His other undertoned speckled canvas could have been the belly of a salamander, frog or fish. In this setting, the men are the hunters and gatherers squinting into the sunlight, while the women are home darning the socks. One group engaged, at those moments of reflection, in hallucinatory abstraction while the others engage in hallucinatory reality. Abstraction application It is here that the word parochialism applies to abstraction 'rather than reality because someone or something remains integral while, to use a definition, abstraction considered apart from any application to a particulat object, forever illusively conceptual, suffers if attitudinized with an exact reference; be it a sunset ora salamander. The ersatz thought, the proxy of feeling, is fixed in the.mind from which the depth and profound mystery or life of the idea cannot be retrieved. Now everyone dwells on the personal reference, the artist by' summoning up intuitive an complex of personal forces which results in a chosen object Or Idea and the viewer who. ammasses constantly new and changing interest in a certain work based on his own perceptual experience which cao. .be ejected by even the smallest matters, such as the time of day. French artists have a French character; who but Dubuffet would resurrect the primitive almost primeval imagery of the Lascaux caves with the collected wings of butterflies. The move of America to the lead positiorl in art is fully characterized by the restless, wandering, painting energy of Pollock and the self-willed independence of David Smith’s sculpture. The point is: the refential sensibility of Canadian art has in most cases, weakened the claim for being considered major international work, while at the same time fortified the realism of women artists an expression that may well lead to a major change in artistic aesthetic consciousness. In particular let’s consider Mary Janitch, whose work is just coming into recognition. Mary Janitch was part of a show held last month at the Carmen Lamanna Gallery. In effect, she was the artist in the show because her draped hanging materials, made from cheesecloth, twigs, hair, dried blueberries and other recycled personal items, completely “ephcmcrized” the gallery. The corners, the walls, the floors, appeared to be in direct correspondence with the hanging material and encompass the entire room environment. Each hanging object acted as tactile mental store, as the mind constantly returned to the material for a kind of resusitated perception. To put these thought about the person and anonymity in perspective, consider the completely different character of the combine painting Bed from Robert Rauschenberg and Sleeping Place II Tree of Mary Janitch. - Hiway The Rauschenberg esthetic, which Brian O’Doherty termed the “vernacular glance’’ consists of signposts, short-term sensation collectively apprehended in the same manner as you might moving through a New York City street-scene. The Bed, his bed, quilted cover pulled down below the pillow, splattered and streaked with paint, red, green, black, and set up vertically as a painting has all the anonymous nightmare and reality of any bed. This bed need only be glanced at and the store of instances, your instances, can be understood mote clearly away from the painting. The detachment provokes your own sense of participation. The anonymity of the work becomes a secret in the mind. Its devised frankness is devoid of commitment to the person and insinuates abstract anonymity. It defiles with a quick glance. Sleeping Place II Trees is a “central reminder.’’ Your eyes, like the strange forces returning to the hanging materials, are reminded of a visual resting place by the almost mental like images of the photographs lined against the wall to the right of the vertically hanging bed. The pictures show the bed as situated when Mary Jahitch used it as an actual sleeping place. Th& mental reminder (photographs) sends your return to the sleeping [dace for renewal in personal proximity. The reality explored, the eyes venture off to the extremes of the environment but return to the constant source: of personal energy; again and again constantly exploring and re-exploring the personal reality of Mary Janitch. As she states it: “The sleeping place was my bed, - thesmeU of this bed." "Sleeping Piece II Tree" fay Mary Janitch "B«d" combine printing by.

Page fourteen The Spectrum Wednesday, . . 14 November 1973 �JUST MR FUN by Eggman “Watergate-type tactics are sure to Alter down to the local level.” Jama McCord After six months of scandals and March IS, 1976 confusion, Sub Board has introduced a resolution to abolish all the student governments, so as to facilitate the most money-making for students in return for their mandatory fees. Considering the confusion of recent months, The Spectrum would like to present a brief history of the scandals to date. - — It all started when Ronald Loophole, a former UB student and secretary to Dr. Gelbaum, leaked a copy of the new Master Plan to The Spectrum. The Administration had claimed the report contained a “vocationally-oriented priority shift” in education. Printed by The Spectrum in serial form, the report actually revealed a 5-year plan to phase out all social sciences and divert all monies into engineering and math. Dr. Ketter issued a statement calling the theft of the plan “reprehensible” and Dr. Somit said he was “disgusted.” The Spectrum continued to print the report in serials until a court injunction ordered it to stop. The report then went underground: other sections turned up on one-page mimeographed sheets, hawked around Norton Union by former SDS members. The Administration’s credibility was called into question, although they claimed the report didn’t phase out social sciences but altered them, and that it was a response to a U.S. Government request for more engineers. Loophole arraigned Ronald Loophole was taken to the Student Judiciary by the Administration, for he had broken the law by leaking the documents. He claimed he had acted out of a sense of patriotism for UB, for he felt the school might be destroyed and students had a right to know about the plan. He became something of a folk hero among the undergraduates, although certain pipe-smoking graduates branded him a criminal and the GSA almost voted to censure him. The big story broke a few weeks before the election for SA President, which was between SA Vice-President Richard Vice, a political huckster; a local candidate, Tony Tonawanda; and a liberal idea man, John Noble. A paid hireling wearing a VICE IS NICE button was arrested at 4 a.m. in an attempt to bug John Noble’s Norton Union office when a Norton Hall night manager perceptively noticed his foot sticking out of a door. Noble’s office was in the second floor bathroom, Stall No. 3 to be exact, since Union space was tight at the time. The bugging incident became known as theBathroom Affair. Vote for Vice Vice denied that he had planned the bugging, but the hireling’s VICE button led many people to believe so, and a Student Assembly subcommittee was appointed to investigate the matter. To proclaim his innocence in the bugging. Vice wrote an emotional letter published in Ethos pleading that since he had no mechanical knowledge, he could not possibly have planned the bugging. In the ensuing few weeks, Tony Tonawanda’s candidacy was finished when a remark attributed to him was published in Ethos calling New Yorkers “a bunch of flaming assholes.” John Noble received widespread sympathy because of the bugging, but lost soundly because his liberal ideas were too far ahead of the electorate such as his complicated plan to give each student back $ 10 from his mandatory student fees. Although tarnished by the bugging suspicions, Vice was elected SA President. After the election. The Spectrum reported that the Student Judiciary’s sitting judge in the Gelbaum Papers trial had been offered a lucrative position in The Brub by then Vice-President Richard Vice. This started a new storm of controversy and investigations. Although he was now President, Vice had a difficult time governing and the Student Assembly resisted all his legislative initiatives and - constantly overrode his veto. Wiretap plan As investigations into the bugging continued, spurred on by media pressure and The Spectrum’s top investigative reporter, Bill Muckrake, disclosure after disclosure poured out. It -was revealed that Vice could plant statements such as die Tonawanda remark, in Ethot because his sister, reputedly a “great lay,” was the mistress of a top-level official of Ethot. A plot to wiretap Dr. Setter’s office was aborted when three Campus Security undercover agents were discovered in a closet disguised as two hanging shirts and a mop. They were laden with electronic equipment, and claimed they were there “to fix the phone.” It was suspected that Richard Vice had dispatched them to bug Setter’s office to obtain valuable information, which he could use against the President to secure a Law School recommendation despite his 2.7 average. Vice also had an “enemies list” whose offices were rarely cleaned by Maintenance and who received a preponderance of parking tickets even when their cars were parked legally. The Director of Campus Security, L. Patrick Gray, said his office had resisted political directives for parking tickets from SA. The Bathroom Affair worsened when it was revealed that President Vice had bugged his own Norton Union office, Room 205. Although he refused to release the tapes of these conversations, it was rumored they contained a detailed shopping list of Dr. Ketter’s, statements by several SA coordinators admitting to smoking grass, confessions by two key aides of serious hominess, a plea by a Spectrum reporter, “Give me some quotes, I need 30 lines for a story,” and three off-color jokes by Dr. Sigglekow. Critics claim that any discussion of theBathroom bugging may have been edited out. The entire scandal exploded when Sub Board introduced its resolution that student governments should be abolished, since they “don’t know shit about business,” and all power should be vested in the Sub Board I Corporation. SA President Vice quickly supported the plan, creating some doubts that he may have been a Sub Board puppet all along; that the Board was behind the bugging and other tactics insured to elect Vice so he could then support their plan. These suspicions were intensified when Bill Buckrake of The Spectrum printed a secret memo in his weekly column, Inside Shit. The memo was from Vice to Sub Board Treasurer Cindy Hotlips, commending her on her great oral abilities. Ms. Hotlips has spearheaded the drive to abolish the student governments, and throughout the year has demonstrated an uncanny ability to get several key government officials to change their votes about five minutes before voting time. At this time, a new investigation is being launched into possible Sub Board connection with the Bathroom Affair. Recall petitions are also circulating for Richard Vice. The Spectrum disavows any responsibility for this piece of fantasy. Any similarity to reality is purely unintentional.

(Mag data derived boa the Ui. -'■ -£^nrTi i • • r*-iT^ : Ask a college student why be or die is attending college and one of the primary reasons given will be, “To insure getting a better job.” The Bureau of Labor Statistics of the Department ofLabor has confirmed Uiis by showing that the average college graduate can expect to earn over $200,000 more, in the course ofhis lifetime, than the average high school graduate. Academics, however, have misgivings about equating the college degree with financial success. Clark, Kerr, chairman of file Carnegie Commission on Higher Education, appeared to tone down the question of financial rewards of a college education any when he said; “Going to college does give to the individual a college chance for a more satisfying fife, and to society the likelihood of a more effective ' . - - community." But the fact remains that a college education and greater potential earning power are often equated. Parental and student expectations are such that people are willing to make the necessary financial sacrifices to obtain the college degree which some have called, “the key to the good life." For example, in a study completed by the American Council on Education, when the question was asked what were the most important reasons for students in deciding to go to college, the highest response was "to get a better job." This response far exceeded others which included "to gain a general education,” to learn; more about filings of interest, parental encouragement,” and, "to earn mpTe money.” Yet there we signs while the 'College degree is still a prerequisite to bring doors of opportunity opened, much will depend on the kind of degree a student will earn.

And with more people going to college. 1 becomes necessary to botain a graduate or professional degree to get the “payoff.” The number of Americans, for example, over twenty-five who have had more «h—four years of coBege since 1940 has tripled. If a bachelor’s degree is not the grarantrr to the good fife, then more students wiB go on for graduate study and rrpnisBj professional study which is geared to a specific occupation. Adams notes, moreover, that: If the escalation in graduate and professional school which we anticipnte were built into such projections, it would seem inevitable that the supply of the highly educated ’would exceed the for the kind of services for which they had been trained. The net result would be considerable under-employment of the highly educated, with all the attendant problems of waste, frustration and Adams points out that it >1 be yean, however, before we know whether the anticipated escalation of graduate and professional schooling takes place because of the broad age distribution of gndnate and professional students. Another writer who foresees problems for college-educated young people is the noted management' consultant and economist. Peter F. Drucfcer. In a perceptive article written in Harper’* in Inly 1971. Diudcer*’ spotlighted wanes which concern the young. As he wrote: ".... jobs are likely to be of increasing concern to the young during the next ten years. The shift from ‘abundant jobs for college graduates’ in 1969 to a ‘scarcity of jobs for oolege graduates’ in 1971. is not... merely a result of the 1970-71 nuu-recearion.” Drucfcer concludes: “It is a result of the over-abundance of graduates which «i continue until the cad of the decade even if the ecouoray starts expanding agaui at a fast c^».” Teacki*. which has always beat wd »» ■»» oofcgt educated as a lira nod, to* up.

Rut what happens to the fibctal arts graduate? At this point in time, no one is quite sure. With an erer-mocasiv number of students thinking of graduate school, coupled with the inundation of the nation’s law schools, is it too much to ask whether there wfll be jobs for aH these young people and how much their parents are supposed to sacrifice financially? Although the U5. Bureau of Labor Statistics has done studies on the college graduate and the world or work, isn’t it about time for the U.S. Office of Education, in conjunction with the Department of Labor, to set up study areas job opportunities will be? Is it not time to start looking more realistically at employment prospects for our college and university students? It will make no difference whether one talks of a three or four-year degree if job prospects are nil. To mrmhrri of the academy this might sound crass to talc about such mundane things as jobs and how one earns a living.

The editor of his own magazine, Politics, in the 1940‘s, Mr. Macdonald is presently a professor of English at this University, teaching courses in American political rebutted would be but he couldn’t delay his gratification in saying them anyway.” He continued: “That Nixon is possible shows something radically wrong with our democratic system. Impeachment is almost mild Nixon should be impeached, then indicted, then sent to Matawan for 20 years for therapeutic treatment.” known have immediately fiction. — — “Nixon’s need to create crises so he can surmount them has become addictive and cumulative, so that he now has to have a shot every day. And like heroin, it takes a lot more for him to get off.” This assessment of the President’s political by Dwight was made difficulties Macdonald, the noted political and literary critic now teaching English at this University. Questioning the President’s strange actions under the pressure of the last few weeks, Mr. Macdonald believes Mr. Nixon has lost touch with reality and is no longer a politician. “Prior to the ’68 election, Nixon used unscrupulous and to be a politician dirty, yes, but a politician. Just look at Voorhis and Helen Galiagan Jerry Douglas,” he explained. But after he became President in 1968, “Nixon became one whose more and more of a solopsist world begins and ends with himself. He lost touch with people, and could see no difference between his own needs and wants and those of the outside world.” The Haldeman-Ehrlichman palace guard, Mr. Macdonald explained, enabled Nixon “to isolate himself and retreat into his own liberals lulled Watergate gradually grew out of an expanded concept of the Presidency which began with Franklin Roosevelt during the New Deal, Mr. Macdonald explained. FDR’s expansion “lulled the liberals,” he said, “and each administration ‘except but he mentioned Nabokov’s Ada and Norman Matter s study of Marilyn Monroe as two books he recently enjoyed. Mailer’s was not a cocktail party book, but a sociological, serious study of Marilyn Monroe in a heavy, complicated style, he feels. Even when Mailer does a hack job for money, he can’t just do a hack job,” Mr. Macdonald said, noting the book’s comparison, historically. The two earlier administrations with gamey records both were those of Republican, of course Grant and Harding. But their style of corruption was much less damaging to the republic because it involved mere bribery, extortion, speculation for personal profit that mild, old-fashioned Agnew stuff not the new-style power-play corruption that undermines law and order and the Constitution, a system Nixon, Haldeman and Ehrlichman were perfecting when that watchman noticed the tdpe on the door at Watergate,” Mr. Macdonald explained. Grant and Harding, however, “were personally honest; they were the dupes of crooked associates, while Nixon is now emerging as the Raffles of the White House — - — - heavy, complicated style Reactionary America Television has failed to offer .a serious alternative to University-educated people, he believes. Because TV is over-commercial and each show competes for a market, only with the “lowest common shows denominator” survive. This is unlike England, where a BBC show appealing to 10% of the population can remain on the air, or movies, where serious movies shown in art theaters don’t compete with The Macdonald expounds on Nixon’s present situation — Godfather. In the field of world affairs, Mr. Macdonald was not hesitant to label the United States “the most reactionary force in the world.” He compared modern-day America to Czarist Russia between 1815 and 1848, when the “gendarme of Europe” sent troops to any country where democratic uprisings were creating trouble for the old established regime. Citing the intervention' on behalf of the Greek monarchy in 1945-46, and the Korean conflict of 1950-53, Mr. Macdonald said that with President Kennedy we became convinced of “some global mission to democracy,” leading to the prptect Vietnam intervention of 1965. — ego. *» ... Leaky lifeboat Shielded by the palace guard, Mr. Nixon “tried to preserve his solopsist fantasies that whatever he wanted was OK.” His firing of special prosecutor Archibald Cox showed the President “had no sense of public reaction,” which was a one-week barrage of 275,000 telegrams eight times as many as Capitol Hill had ever received. If he had consulted the leaders of his own party, they would have advised that the firing was politically unfeasible but no longer being a politician, he did not bother tp consult, Mr. Macdonald explained. He feels the trend against Nixon is now “irreversible,” and compared the state of the Presidency to “a leaky lifeboat with Nixon frantically trying to patch things up but each patch he applies makes a bigger hole.” Expressing his belief that Mr. Nixon is now mentally unstable, he said; “His state of mind itself is grounds for impeachment.” Of the recent emotional press conference where the President said “the tougher it gets, the cooler I get,” Mr. Macdonald said: “It’s like a madman who proclaims frantically, Tm not mad.’ If he was cool under pressure, he wouldn’t have and certainly not had to say it Backing repression “We always intervene against popular forces; we’re always on the side of the undemocratic, privileged ruling class.” Citing ITT’s anti-Allende role in Chile as the most recent example, Mr. Macdonald believes that “because of American — business interests, we always intervene on - — . * — - — hysterically.” Compulsive liar Expounding upon Mr. Nixon’s need to under pressure, Mr. Macdonald noted a quote by Julie Nixon Eisenhower about her father: “I think he really likes the challenge it’s kind of a gauntlet you’ve got to pick it up.” thrown down While Nixon’s Six Crises were externally imposed, “now he creates them for himself and he must be on his 70th one by now,” said Mr. Macdonald. He believes the like President is a “compulsive liar” as Communist-hater Joe McCarthy was evidenced by the twisted historical story about Thomas Jefferson the President told at his last press conference. “Like operate - — the pushed expanded Eisenhower’s under Presidency especially further, Kennedy and Johnson, but Nixon’s gone wild he’s overreached himself.” As a result, “the. Presidency has lost its awe and mystique, and the voter reaction is to limit — its powers.” A big, uncontrollable federal bureaucracy, extensively utilizing surveillance, began with Kennedy and Johnson; uncontrollable because “you have to make records, have to know which phones are tapped, when the taps run out, make 5 or 6 copies,” Mr. Macdonald explained. “But Nixon has brought all these tendencies into light by exaggerating them prematurely and provoking a public response.” While the trend was definitely toward more surveillance, “Nixon arrested — the tendency of history by going too far, too soon.” - — Worst in history Is the present administration much more corrupt than previous ones? “No RE-DISCOVER AMERICA AND THE WORLD DON'T BE DISAPPOINTED MAKE HOLIDAY RESERVATIONS EARLY! - call .

A , the side of the status quo.” Fear of Communism is the rationale for supporting repressive regimes; “If Communism is a totalitarian threat to borgeois democracy, you can support anything against it.” Since it’s easy to fill a vacuum, “If the U.S. is the supporting ' a repressive regime, U.S.'S.-Rt can go in and appeal, to the repressed people, and vice versa.’’ China, on the other hand, consistently supports people’s movements, Mr. Macdonald noted. But America and Russia always line up on opposite sides because “they’re both in the business of competing for influence in client states. Detente is limited to the mutually beneficial areas of trade and avoiding nuclear warfare, but it means nothing in world strategies, as we can see from the Middle East.” The trend may be moving away from American global intervention, however, “because the Vietnam experience was so traumatic,” Mr. Macdonald added. We’ve gotten the “raw end of the deal” on U.S.—Soviet detente, Mr. Macdonald believes: "We’ve gotten no guarantees from Russia. When dealing with this kind of closed regime, how can we trust them to carry out their end of the bargains?” He agrees with Sen. Henry Jackson that favored trade status “should be linked” to free emigration for Jews, but also to repression against its own ceasing dissidents. Mr. Macdonald added: “How can you trust a country that is so repressive to its own people?” < (except he hasn’t much style) as well as its Munchausen.

Circulation: 14,000 ��Kozol: fightforfree schools had never been exposed to any black literature. Because of the content of the poem, “chairperson” of the Boston by Rich Lapping Spectrum Staff Writer “The ghetto is not a testing ground for Harvard sociologists. Children’s lives are being ruined there. The infant mortality rate in Harlem is twenty times that of Scarsdale. I’m asking you to help us fight a battle big enough to matter, small enough to win.” As part of a nationwide campaign to combat racism, Jonathan Kozl, noted author and educator, spoke to nearly one thousand enthusiastic people in the Fillmore Room Thursday night in an appeal for solidarity. After a damning indictment of public school indoctrination and a convincing argument that free schools are the only hope for many ghetto children, Mr. Kozol asked the audience to help save the free schools which are now facing extinction due to a lack of funds. “I’m here to ask you to take action. Thanksgiving Day 1973 will mark the first major national action in three years,” he said. He is speaking at colleges across the country and asking students to refuse to eat Thanksgiving dinner when they go home for the holiday. “I’m asking, you,to look across the, turkey and cranberry sauce at your parents and tell them, ‘I can’t eat that knowing that ghetto children are starving and being denied an education.’ I’m asking you to persuade your parents to open their checkbooks and write a fat check to help keep free schools alive. I’m asking you to put your bodies on the line,” Mr. Kozol said. Depth of committment “We expect 10,000 kids will fast on Thanksgiving, and we hope to raise one quarter of a million dollars. The fast will serve as a protest against racism,” he explained. Twelve simultaneous rallies are scheduled for Thanksgiving across the country, he announced. Picket lines will march in front of the Harvard Club in Boston, N.Y.U. in New York City, Tulane University in New Orleans, and in other cities. Additionally, a conference on racism will take place at N.Y.U. on November 17 and 18. Other notable organizers for the Education Action Fund include Benjamin Spock, Dick Gregory, Ossie Davis, Julian Bond and Noam Chomsky. “When gutless liberal hop from one movement to another, a lot of controversy, books and articles are generated, but no one who was in pain is in any less pain after it is over,” Mr. Kozol said. He asked the audience to examine their depth of committment and support the nationwide action by fasting on Thanksgiving, persuading their parents to donate money to keep free schools alive, and participating in the protest rallies. School indoctrination The socializing function of American public schools is actually “disguesed political indoctrination,” said Mr. Kozol. Formerly a “permanent sub” at a ghetto school in Boston, Mr. Kozol’s first book, Death At An Early Age, described the atrocities he witnessed being committed against black school children in the Boston schools. He read a poem called “The Landlord” by black poet Langston Hughes to his all-black fourth grade class, which Public Schools Louise Day Hicks fired Mr. Kozol, explaining that the poem he read was on an eighth grade level. “I was fired for curriculum deviation,” Mr. Kozol explained. He added: “1 wonder if Langston Hughes intended the poem to be read only by eighth graders?” Death At An Early Age, as most of the writing in the 1960’s was sincere but naive, Mr. Kozol said; “gee whiz” could summarize the book, he said. He ascribed this naivete to the conservatism carried over from the ’50’s. Furthermore, school activists were naive to go to Louise Day Hicks or Richard Nixon and say, ‘The school system is turning out bloodless, cold, heartless people like . . . you. Could you please give us a grant for our innovative program?” Dehumanization ‘The function of a school in a ghetto neighborhood is to turn out toilet cleaners and janitors to clean the toilets in Great Neck, and welfare mothers for Harvard sociologists to study,” Mr. Kozol said. The American public school system is “twelve years of mandatory dehumanization,” he emphasized. “Public schools are scared stiff of using the first person pronoun.” He mocked Harvard sociologists as never saying “I think,” but rather, “it would not be unreasonable for one to assume . . ”. An American classroom is merely a “room full of third persons,” he added. “Nobody says I.” However, “there is a method to the madness in our public schools. Revolution is not starjad inthe. thmTperson.” /Shortly following his dlsmi&al by Ms. Hicks, Kozol sfirted 3 free school fai the basement of a Roxbury church. With the help of many community mefnbers, the school became a success, and the'free school movement subsequently gained momentum throughout the country. Mr. Kozol considers free schools the only viable alternative to indoctrination in public schools, citing Harlem Prep, a free school for dropouts in New York as “one of the finest examples”. However, the Federal Government has cut back funds available for free schools, and Harlem Prep will be forced to close in two months. Harlem Prep has a 98% college admission rate, well above the national average of 60%, “amazing for a school whose students are public school dropouts, explained Mr. Kozol. “We expect 10,000 kids will fast on Thanksgiving, and we hope to raise one quarter of a million dollars,” Mr. . , - Send it here Free schools are facing extinction due to a lack of money. Jonathan Kozol’s visit here is part of a nationwide tour to raise money to keep those schools alive. He urged that students going home for the holiday refuse to eat Thanksgiving dinner unless their parents write a big check to help keep free schools in existence. Whether raised through cajoling, persuasion or coercion, money should be sent to: Education Action Fund P.OJtax 37 Cambridge, Massachusetts 02138 Students interested in joining Thanksgiving Day protest rallies against public school racism in New York or other cities should call Leslie Medine at the CAC office, 831-3609 or 831-3605. Those interested in protesting in Boston should call Steve London at (617) 495-5526 during the day or 445-2844 at night. The nationwide rallies are expected to be the largest national protest in three years. - Kozol said. The fast will serve as a protest against racism. Twelve successive rallies are scheduled across the country, Mr. Kozol announced. ‘The sixties were a time for do-gooders,” Mr. Kozol continued. “White liberals would go into the ghetto and pat black kids’ heads. Well, the black community doesn’t need any more ‘head patters’.” What they need, he added is cash to stay alive. Mr. Kozol emphasized the gravity of our political situation; “Let us consider the seriousness of the problem we face. We live under the shadow of potential military men and takeover. It’s time for us to fight together women, black and white, rich and poor. We need each other . . . We need each other. In the question-answer session that followed, members of the National Caucus of Labor Committees lined up at the microphone and several aimed accusations at Mr. Kozol, all of which he denied while the audience applauded. “You can’t even draw 25 people into a room for one of your speeches; instead you can only interrupt other people,” Mr. Kozol told them. — ” Give Xmas money “Let’s go upstairs for coffee,” Mr. Kozol said, and an informal discussion followed on the second floor of Norton Union. One student suggested that a continuing effort should be made to raise funds beyond Thanksgiving. She proposed that students donate their Christmas and Chanukah money to the Education ACtion Fund. ‘The national media perpetuates the myth of student apathy,” said Jonathan Kozol. “At every college I’ve spoken at, there’s been an audience twice as large as predicted even in Waterville, Maine. It’s no accident that the press is purposely dishonest about student feelings. It’s a perfect example of a managed society where the media creates a false sense of reality.” At one college in Wisconsin where he spoke, Mr. Kozol explained, students were upset over the firing of an English professor for radical political views but didn’t know what to do about it. — Media Manipulation “Students are just apathetic nowadays,” one student told him. “How do you know?” asked Mr. Kozol. “1 read didn’t you see it?” came the earnest reply. ‘They it in had to turn on the TV to find out how they felt,” Mr Kozol observed. When he asked the students what they thought, not what the media told them they thought, enough emotion was generated to stage a protest of the firing the next day. Mr. Kozol feels that liberal, leftist faculty have been dropped from colleges all around the country in the past three years, and at this University as well. “And what are the reactions? The racist department heads don’t care, and the gutless liberals watch it all on TV,” Some reform can be accomplished through working within the system, Mr. Kozol said, if teachers ’’stopped playing the role of parrot for the school system and like why the starting asking the kids difficult questions than in rate much Harlem higher in infant mortality is so few teachers ask those questions, a few Scarsdale. If a answer this fired. thousands of teachers If teachers will get would faced with an class school boards be call, the ruling unbelievable challenge.” However, he reminded teachers who advocate working within the system: “If it weren’t for alternative schools, you’d have no place to go when you get fired.” When the campaign began last week, Mr. Kozol said, ‘They” told us, “The kids are dead. The kids are apathetic. It’s too big to fight.” He looked around the room and said: “Show us the kids are not giving up!” - - > Monday, 12 November 1973 The Spectrum Page three . . ��+ Colleges meeting m 4% f£>* Him will be an important open meeting of the Faculty-Senate Colleges Committee Tuesday at 4 pm. in 148 Diefendorf.

This program will be open to all students who ale attending any four-year school of the State University of New York (SUNY). The internship program will allow those students seeking experience in legislative government to do so in a full-time program combining work and study, according to Ray Glass, legislative director of SASU. Working directly with the State Legislature, each intern will do legislative research, draft legislation, find sponsors for bills and prepare testimony in support of legislation. The program is also designed to .increase communication between legislators and students by developing accurate information on legislative issues which are of student interest. Academic credit Six interns will be chosen to work and monitor the daily activities of the 1974 State Legislature. The students will be required to live in Albany and pay their own living and traveling expenses. Credit for the program will be arranged either through the student’s home campus or through the Albany State visiting student program. SASU’s legislative interns Will be restricted to issues specifically relating to students and higher education. Participants will analyze specific legislative issues or some aspect of the legislative in consultation with a supervising faculty member. All interns will be expected to participate in Political Science 431 (“Legislative Internship”) and a weekly legislative seminar discussion.

In order to complete their investigation, each intern will be assigned to work with a group of legislators and their staffs. The internship work is expected to require nearly 40 hours per week. Interns will have a responsibility to SASU in addition to their academic responsibilities. Besides satisfactory completion of the program, students will be expected to organize and coordinate the annual SASU legislative conference. Interns will contribute to the bi-weekly SASU legislative reports, the SASU press service, and the monthly SASU newsletter, Update. Evaluation of each intern will be based upon their completion of the academic requirements, not on the internship experience itself. Grades will be determined by each intern’s supervising faculty member. However, recommendations and evaluations of the SASU supervisors regarding the duties performed for SASU will also be considered in awarding final grades. Application deadline for the SASU legislative internship program is November 26. All those interested must secure the necessary information and application immediately, either by contacting the Political Science Department at 4238 Ridge Lea or Ray Glass, the SASU legislative director, at 109 State Street, Albany, N.Y. 12207, or call (518) 465-2406. Applicants will be selected on the basis of writing,, research, speaking ability and various pther criteria. Applicant interviews are scheduled in Albany for Friday, November 30. Final selection of candidates will be conducted on December 1 and 2. Selected interns will be encouraged to attend the second meeting of the State University Student Assembly (SUSA) scheduled for December 7-9 at the State University College at Buffalo. Those selected will also be expected to attend a 2-3 day orientation program in Albany which will take place in late December or early January. required ! xternal report Many fear manipulation of Colleges system evaluation by Gary Cohn ContributingEditor ... Skepticism towards the Administration’s role in carrying out the “transformation of the Colleges,” as recommended in the just-released external evaluation report, is mounting amidst generally favorable , toward the report. Specifically, members of the University community have expressed fear that the Administration may manipulate the report, or the forthcoming report from Jonathan Reichert’s Faculty-Senate Colleges Committee, to dilute the Colleges. “I’m always skeptical of people deciding our fate, based on past experience,” said Elliot Smith of the new College of Modern Education. “Who believes the Lord of the Manor when he says he’s going to give you a present?” he asked rhetorically. Dr. Reichert’s Colleges Committee will weigh the external evaluators’ recommendations, seek input from the University community [there will be an open meeting tomorrow at 4 p.m. in Diefendorf 148], and eventually submit its own recommendations for the College’ future to the Faculty-Senate for approval. Anr" changes must ultimately be ratified by President Robert Ketter. Dr. Reichert expressed optimism that the Administration would accept the recommendations of the Faculty-Senate. He has received “no signals” that the Administration would interfere in the decision-making process, he said. Independent Committee Many College personnel expressed confidence in the “independence” of the Reichert committee. Tender cut of flavorfui !

He’ll listen, but not agree, even with members of his own committee. Then, when well, he holds all the it’s time to write his report cards.” The externa! evaluation itself received praise from many segments of the University community. Terming the Colleges “too valuable to lose and too chaotic to survive,” the report recommended immediately initiating “a process to transform the present Collegiate system into a new Collegiate system without killing the essence of life in the process.” ‘Anti-homosexual bias’ “Basically, the suggestions were good,” commented Keith Klopp, acting administrative officer of the Colleges. Academic Affairs vice president Bernard Gelbaum said the report was a “carefully thought out” document which was “just and equitable,” However, Dr. Gelbaum disagreed with the report’s assessment that any subject matter would be suitable for College courses. For instance, a course on the “methods of torture” would be inappropriate, he maintained. College F instructor Burton Weiss charged that the report contained an “anti-homosexual bias.” Specifically, Mr. Weiss objected to the following statement from the report: “When Plato was studied in College F, the partisian defense of homosexuality generated interpretations of the text that were patently wrong.” Mr. Weiss could not understand “how an interpretation could be patently wrong.” He asked for and received an apology from Thomas Gould, the external evaluator who was partially responsible for the statement. Unintended implications “It was not our contention that you were attempting to persuade anyone to take up any particular sexual life and you falsified the text deliberately for such a purpose .. Your enthusiasm made you hope that the text meant something that [in my opinion] it could not mean,” wrote Mr. Gould in a letter to Mr. Weiss. Mr. Gould, a professor of Classics at Yale University, said he had read Plato “in the Greek” and therefore gained an understanding of the material that Mr. Weiss did not have. He emphasized that the controversial statement was not intended as an anti-homosexual slur. .

I had made it very clear to Mr. Michaeli that 1 cannot and will not speak for Norton House Council. 1 therefore object to the tone of the article which pictures the imminent move of the Record Co-op to the Check-room area. The Norton House Council has to think of services to the student body in general and it is in this context that the issue of the Record Co-op will be decided upon. Paul Kade, Coordinator National Affairs Time forjnput Many seniors feel they've learned more from the few College courses they’ve taken than from the regular academic fare at this University. In the wake of the external evaluation recommending a transformation of the Collegiate system, the Colleges are at the crossroads. Jonathan Reichert's College Committee will weigh the evaluations and input from all interested parties and make its recommendations for the future of the Colleges. The Administration has long desired to dilute the Colleges or alter them into "straight" units. Vocal support from students for the Colleges to retain their vital experimental function, as recommended by the evaluators, is needed. An open meeting will be held tomorrow at 4 p.m. in Diefendorf 148 to solicit this input. For those who care about the future of the Colleges, attendance is mandatory. An alternative means of expressing input is by writing letters to this newspaper. If you sleep through this one, students, the Colleges may have been changed beyond recognition when you wake . up.

How deep are your convictions? How many of us are part-time liberals? How many of us talk about social reform, engage in long political debates, participate in a movement now and then, but then tune it all out and return to our stereos and our career goals? How many of us can say we are really concerned with suffering in this country? These are the kinds of questions Jonathan Kozol was asking here Thursday night. When liberals hop from movement to movement, espousing the "in" cause of the day, whether it be racism, pollution or "a lot of controversy, books and articles get generated, but when it is all over, nobody who was in pain is In any less pain," said the noted educator/writer. We have had enough of "gutless liberals" who decry social problems at cocktail parties but watch the whole thing on TV, he said. What we need now is real committment. Mr. Kozol delivered a damning indictment of the public school system as a nationwide network of political indoctrination. Anyone who has read Kozol's Death at an Early Age is familiar with how the Boston public school system destroys the hearts and minds of black ghetto children. This is no Boston phenomenon; it's the same story in every slum in every city in America. Most people believe that ghetto children attend inferior schools because of lack of money, poor planning, or any of a thousand "liberal" explanations. Not true, Mr. Kozol explained. Ghetto children are treated the way they are because society needs people to clean the toilet bowls in Great Neck, needs welfare mothers for Harvard sociologists to study, needs cheap tabor for the ruling class to exploit. Consider for a moment who sits on the board of trustees of every public school, junior high, high school and university in America. It's the rich elite, the GE, IBM and General Motors executives whose children go to segregated private school out in the suburbs. These men have a vested interest in the coninutation of a privileged ruling class which profits at the expense of the exploited lower class. These men promote racism, because if people can be brainwashed into believing the myth that blacks are genetically inferior, all attempts at equalizing education will cease. And so in our managed society. Harvard publishes racist sociology, and the media, also controlled by the power structure, puts out Time cover stories on student apathy. With a_ generation that turns on the TV to see how it feels, a media myth can quickly become reality. In the sixties we were naive, Kozol told us. We believed you could work within the system. "So we went to Louise Day Hicks or Richard Nixon and said, the school system isn't working properly. It's peace, turning out cruel, bloodless, gutless people... people like you. Could you please give us a grant ... for our innovative program?" Of course Louise Day Hicks and Richard Nixon want to see the school system continue to turn out soldiers to fight their wars, maids to clean their toilets, as well as an elitist class of doctors and lawyers, scientists and engineers. This is called slotting; this is the job of the school system. In the middle of New York City's Harlem is a free school called Harlem Prep.

Selective mourning The Max Lerner Column To the Editor As a Jew, I wish to pose a question to all those who attended the Wednesday night memorial to the Israeli war dead.

I mourn the death of all those who gave their lives to the senseless tradegy of war. Allan Schear Non-lethal arming The following is The killing of the kings in the sacred grove in classic of anthropology, “The Golden Bough,” is well known. Yet it has remained for Page Smith, an American history professor in California, in a Los Angeles Times piece, to set down one of the few original insights into the tortured business about President Nixon. He noted that an American President for better or worse, in lesser or greater is a built-in, kingly father figure, so that degree when we go about impeaching the President, we are at the same time killing the king. Hence, the anguish of the whole process, not for the President alone, but for the country and Congress, and especially for some of his own party Frazer’s - — an open letter to Dr. Ketter We, the undersigned, ask that you consider arming members of the Campus Security force, only tl>oj»|h ; temporarily jtnifi dibiilijtating weapons.

Though the cost of dibihtating, non-lethal weapons is high, they would provide the necessary means with which to respond to the few dangerous situations, giving protection to both Security and innocent bystanders. We urgently ask you to consider this alternative to the “arming” problem. However, if this is not feasible, considering the irrevocable harm that would be done between Campus Security and the student body if a student were shot and/or killed, and in the interest of preventing any unnecessary deaths, we ask that arming of Campus Security not be done.

Star Break Among the congressmen and commentators much talk > of President Nixon as an outcropping of a new “caesarism,” of his hunger for power and (in the latter-day commentaries) perhaps for money. Fortunately, the ancient drive for tyrannicide, still present in the hearts of free men, has been transformed into a passionate insistence on , the rule of law. President Nixon’s own emphasis, since his hapless blast at the media at the end of his press conference, seems to be oh due prdcess'of media. At one phase, it was also true of Spiro Agnew, and perhaps Mr. Nixon has taken a leaf from his former Vice President in the art of putting the media on the defensive. For my own part, 1 should welcome the pressure to be careful about the words 1 write, and I should think that Walter Cronkite and Eric Sevareid would welcome it too. Between due process of law and due process of media, there need be no contradiction, but only the happiest of marriages. What is likely to add strength to the impeachment process, once it gets started, is the there is question of legitimacy. There is where the Watergate testimony of the past comes in, and doubtless the testimony about campaign financing to come. It is one thing to overthrow a legitimate monarch, whatever the charges against him. It is quite another to proceed against a monarch whose very legitimacy has been called in question by the charges. It won’t make the process of constitutional regicide any more pleasant, but it may weaken some of the built-in aversion we have to it. -Copyright 1973, Los Angeles Times Budiansky Dave Leibenhaut Joe Fernbacher . . , Mitchell Dix ..

No matter what the shortcomings that IRC has, the Executive Committee has made an honest effort to provide services to all resident students.

Scajaquada Creek, which flows through Forest Lawn, was originally named for John Ken-jock-e-ta, an Indian Chief who lived on its banks for many years. Constant work The Cemetery is perfectly manicured by a crew of twenty full- time groundskeepers, said Theron B. Miller, a counselor for Forest Lawn. “They are constantly working to maintain the beauty of the cemetery,” he added. The original tract of land comprising Forest Lawn was purchased from the Seneca Indian Nation by Captain William Johnston, a retired officer of the British Charles E. Clarke, Esq. Army. bought eighty acres of the land for Reverend James N. Granger and his brother Wayne Granger for express use as a buria ground. The grounds contained “equal quantities of forest and lawn,” thus giving rise to its present name. A private organization gained ownership of the cemetery in 1855 under the title “Forest Lawn Cmetery Association of the City of Buffalo.” By 1864, a community feeling had developed that the “great cemetery of the city should not be held by a private corporation, subject to (financial) vicissitudes.” Thus a new organization was formed entitled the “Buffalo City Cemetery Association.” “Forest Lawn” is not the legal, but rather its peopular designation. ‘The” cemetery Forest Lawn is now a non-sectarian cemetery. This was not always so, as a book published in 1879 by the Buffalo Historical Society states: “It is the cemetery of Buffalo; and is especially so far all those who are not attached to the Romish or Jewish Faith.” The first funeral train rolled into Forest Lawn on July 12, 1850, carrying the body of John Lay Jr., son of a prominent town merchant. Approximately 170,000 people are buried at the cemetery, according to Helen Sims, Assistant Treasurer of Forest Lawn. In addition to the aesthetic beauty of Forest Lawn, a number of memorials and points of interest are well worth seeing. Standing near the Delaware Avenue entrance is a memorial to the Seneca Chief, Red Jacket. A forceful orator, his Indian name, Sagoycwatha, means “He Keeps Them Awake.” Red Jacket advocated peace with the white American citizens and was awarded a silver medal by President George Washington for his efforts. Fillmore buried there Millard Fillmore, thirteenth President of the United States and first Chancellor of the University of Buffalo, is buried within the confines of Forest Lawn. A original stone bearing only his initials “MF” stands in his family burial plot. Since his death, more grand, imposing memorials have been erected to mark his grave. The Blocher Family Memorial, carved in Italy, is nationally famous. The milk-white marble figures shine impressively inside their glass housing. The huge memorial was carved from a single piece of marble. Frank B. Baird and Jacob Schoellkopf, for whom Baird and Schoellhopf Halls were named, rest in peace at Forest Lawn. Cremation facilities were installed at Forest Lawn in 1932 to meet its growing demands. A “columbarium” was built for the cremation memorial urns. Cremation is accepted by nearly every faith. “About thirty cremations a month occur at Forest Lawn,” reported one employee. Mausoleum to open A mausoleum is also under construction fdr people prefering above-ground burial. It is scheduled to be completed by Thanksgiving, said Mr. Miller. He added: “It will have room for nearly 1300 coffins and cremation urns.” Many individual family mausoleums and “more modest” sarcophagi are scattered about the Cemetery grounds. Excellent foresight by pasf trustees is evidenced by the 1,500,000 square feet of undeveloped land still available at Forest Lawn. The famous poem by Joyce Kilmer, which begins “I think I shall never see, a poem as lovely as a tree,” was inspired by a walk through Forest Lawn, claims Charles H. Keitsch, a former groundskeeper at the Cemetery. Forest Lawn is a fascinating place to visit, but 1 wouldn.t want to lie there. , Monday, 12 November 1973 The Spectrum Page nine . . �The Spectrum Coupon Special expires 12/15/73 winterize and save r*~' Oakland Superintendent with this coupon onParts and labor for:, Winterizing, Tuna-up, Brakes, Tires, & Exhaust Systems Only independent foreign cor service - 838-6200 2820 Bailey Avenue (Behind Radio Shack) on the Bailey Exit-KensingtonI Expy. theme from 2001 and-MORE for $1 jV A letter from a group calling itself “The Symbionese Liberation Regional Youth Unit” claimed responsibility for the murder last Tuesday of Marcus Foster, the 50-year old black school superintendent, and the wounding of his 38-year old white assistant, Robert Blackburn.

Sirica sentenced three participants in the Watergate break-in to minimum prison terms of one year each, apparently assuring their release by Christmas since they have already been in jail almost a year. On Friday, Judge Sirica meted out the heaviest sentence to E. Howard Hunt who was given a two and a half to eight years sentence and fined $10,000. Another leader of the break-in, James W.

Bork to reinstate Mr. Cox and also to reinstitute Cox’s office which Bork abolished at the time he fired Cox on October 20. Mr. Cox was hired under an order issued by former Attorney General Elliot Richardson which stated the special prosecutor could not be fired unless he committed “extraordinary improprieties.” In a related development, C.G. (Bebe) Rebozo, Soldiers vs. generals The attorney for the men, Donald G. Schultz, in a plea for leniency, said: “The question is how much more punishment do you mete out to soldiers in this affair while the architects, the generals have not yet spent one day in jail.” Sydney Sachs, Mr. Hunt’s attorney, stated his client’s health is deteriorating and that forcing to spend any more time in jail might “do further harm to him.” Mr. Barker’s daughter, Maria Jdoffett, told reporters after the sentencing that it was “totally unjust that Hunt gets 30 months and a pawn like my father gets 18 months. Of course, with what he (Hunt) is going to give them (the prosecutors), they’re going to get Mitchell, Magruder and ultimately the President of the United States.” In another federal courtroom, U.S. District Judge Gerhard A. Gesell, agreed Friday to rule whether the firing of Archibald Cox as special prosecutor was lawful.

The Senate Watergate Committee wants to arrange some type of meeting of at least a delegation of members with Mr. Nixon to question him. Presidential aides have given no indication that Nixon would agree to such a session. The Senate Committee suggested an informal meeting with no suggestion that Mr. Nixon be under oath. Former Attorney General Elliot Richardson said that despite his resignation over differences with the President or Watergate, he believes Mr. Nixon has been fully truthful in denying complicity in the scandals. Both Mr. Richardson and William Ruckelshaus have urged full disclosure on the part of the President regarding the Watergate affair. > THE MILLARD FILLMORE COLLEGE Student Association ‘ — n — ‘ *(tortio#y sponsored by the Notional "jmiBiiiment for the Arts, ftige ten The Spectrum Monday, 12 November 1973 . . ?

J. William Fulbright (D., Ark.) WASHINGTON (UPI) Friday called on the United States and the Soviet Union to persuade and pressure Israel to give up Arab territory conquered since 1967 in exchange for a superpower guarantee of her security. Fulbright, chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee', said the precise terms of a peace settlement for the Middle East would have to be worked dut in protracted negotiations. “But the general requirements are clear,” Fulbright said in a Senate speech. “The recovery of lost lands by the Arabs and security for - Israel.” Fulbright said: “It is up to us, and up to the Russians, working through the United Nations, to apply whatever degree of persuasion we can, or whatever degree of pressure we must, to bring about a compromise peace based upon the principles of the Security Council Resolution of November, 1967.

Turkeys more expensive WASHINGTON (UPI) With consumers having gobbled up more turkeys than usual during the year because of high beef and pork prices, Thanksgiving shoppers will find their traditional holiday fare more expensive, this month than they did last year. Although turkey production this year is slightly larger than a year ago, Agriculture Department economists reported Thursday in an “Outlook Digest” report, lower slaughter weights have offset the increase and left consumers with about the same number of pounds of turkey as last year. - State Nader and Rockefeller dash on energy A spokesman for Gov. Rockefeller Thursday termed President Nixon’s recommendations for meeting the energy crisis as “constructive” and noted the state had already begun moves in many of the suggested areas. In an interesting contrast, consumer advocate Ralph Nader criticized President Nixon’s energy conservation measures as hitting consumers too hard. Nader said the President’s proposal would have the consumer not the oil industry or the utilities make the sacrifices. He said industry uses 70 per cent of the energy in the United States and that a “great deal of it is wasted.” - — Campus Ministry to present films The UB Campus Ministers is presenting a series of films concerned with several religious, ethical and moral issues. They have already shown two films concerned with the struggle of the American Indian, and are planning to explore views of the Black experience, the challenge of violence, criminal justice, economic survival, ecology and the future. Chosen for their relevence to those topics, the films are short and discussions on their content by the producers, or people familiar with the subjects and someone from the ministry, will follow their screenings. The Ministry hopes the showing of these films will stimulate awareness in the existence of the UB Campus Ministry, and simultaneously expose the students to issues that are pertinent to their relationships with people of different values and backgrounds, and society as a whole. The Ministry feels the exploration of these issues may enhance a growing awareness of religion from not only the viewpoint of an individual to his God, but the understanding of other people. , Mideast settlement Six-poin t proposal accepted hy Israelis and Egyptians A new six-point Mideast cease-fire plan proposed by Secretary of State Henry Kissinger was agreed to by Israel and Egypt on Friday. The plan was aimed at easing the current tension, resolving the immediate military difficulties, and setting the basis for prompt peace negotiations. Dr. Kissinger completed the plan while conferring with Egyptian President Anwar el-Sadat in Cairo. A draft of the agreement was forwarded to Tel Aviv where it was approved by Israeli leaders. Dr. Kissinger left Cairo shortly afterwards and continued his diplomatic mission through the Arab states, heading for meetings with King Hussein of Jordan and Saudi Arabia’s King Faisal. Details revealed Exact details of jthe agreement were not announced until Dr. Kissinger made them public late last Friday. It contained the following points; -Both sides agree to observe the cease-fire mandated by the United Nations Security Council on October 22. -Israel and Egypt consent to immediate discussions aimed at resolving territorial disputes and disengaging forces along the cease-fire line. —The town of Suez will receive daily supplies and arrangements are being made for the evacuation of all wounded and civilians. -Israel will allow non-miLtary supplies to be sent to the east bank of the Suez. -U.N. observers will replace Israelis at the checkpoints on the Cairo-Suez road. The Israelis will be allowed to participate with the U.N. forces to ensure that no military supplies are getting through-When U.N. observers take their positions, an exchange of prisoners will begin. -The Egyptian blockade in the Gulf of Suez will be lifted immediately. The news of the peace proposal was well received in Tel Aviv. The moodl of the Israeli leaders was described as “ebulient optimism.” It appears that both sides will now cooperate to bring about a Monday, prompt end to the current hostilities. The peace proposal was described by one Israeli official as “the best chance for a lasting peace that we have had in the last 25 years.” Optimism shattered The optimism generated by the agreement was shattered briefly on Friday when Cairo announced it had shot down two Israeli jets over the Suez. The Israeli commrjid acknowledged the loss of a reconnaissance plane, claiming it had been shot down by Egyptian surface-to-air missiles. The incident caused some friction, but it is not expected to negate the peace agreement. The agreement is only between Israel and Egypt. Neither Jordan nor Syria have come to terms with the Israelis. Officials in Tel Aviv do not appear worried about this, maintaining as they have all along that the other Arab states will follow suit once an agreement is reached with Egypt. U.S. stockpiles to be increased Secretary Kissinger departed from Riyadh after speaking with King Faisal and headed east for a scheduled meeting with Pakistani leaders in Islamabad, Pakistan. It was believed that Dr. Kissinger had tried to get King Faisal to agree to an easing of the Saudi Arabian oil embargo, but was unsuccessful. Dr. Kissinger described his talks widT President Sadat as “extremely constructive.” “My "■ r i day-and-s h:t:' , ]_ i ogress in establishing a framework for a just and lasting peace in the Middle East," Dr. Kissinger said. In Washington, Pentagon officials disclosed that an additional $2-3 billion would be needed to buju. missiles, ammunition, and transport planes to establish a larger weapons stockpile. The need for this increase was made obvious by recent losses of American equipment in the October Mideast war. The additional request would be added to the original Defense Department budget of $79 billionf> ' . 12 November 1973 The Spectrum Plage eleven . . �Action iine Have a problem? Need help?

The undefeated Falcons won their second and third games of the young season with 8-3 and 8-4 scores, while dropping Buffalo’s record to 1-2. Bowling Green broke the first contest open by tallying three times within a span of 4S seconds, Linemates Bob Dobek, Sieve Ball and Doug Ross scored to increase the Falcons’ lead from 2-1 to S-l. On Saturday night. Bowling Green scored three goals within 47 seconds in the fitsfcperiod, and came back to lock up the victory with three unanswered second-period goals after the Bulls had closed the gap to 3-2. “HarcJ work, that’s what it takes,” offered Falcon coach Ron Mason. “Last year, when I was at Lake Superior, we beat Ohio State and we beat this team [Bowling Green] 4 times the same way,” Mason added. - < Falcons capitalize on opportunities Buffalo played a stronger game Saturday night, but tight forechecking enabled Bowling Green to capitalize on seemingly every opportunity to score eight goals. The Falcons would undoubtedly have scored more than eight times Friday night had Bull netminder John Moore not foiled the Falcons on four breakaways. Buffalo’s power play resulted in eight goals during the two-game series, three for the Bulls and five for Bowling Green. Both Buffalo power play goals in Friday night’s contest came directly after faceoffs in the Falcon zone as Buffalo was repeatedly denied opportunities to set up their power play attack by the Bowling Green penalty-killers. “Well, I think that we showed that we do have pride and dignity,” asserted Buffalo coach Ed Wright. “We indicated shade of such as we didn’t die. We played a much better game tonight, but we were playing a real good team in Bowling Green.” Wright disappointed Wright was somewhat disappointed with the Bulls’ play. “I think that defensively, we showed that we haven’t improved as much as we hoped,” said Wright. “In addition, we need to forecheck a little more, and we’ve got to start playing the body more. Bowling Green played the body very well,” added Wright. The Bulls will journey to Clarkson Friday to face a squad that has consistently been a powerhouse in ECAC Divison I. Buffalo will then return home to face Kent State Sunday after noon before hosting archrival Oswego next Tuesday night at Twin Rinks.

Detailing both strengths and weaknesses of the Colleges as a whole, the report recommended transforming the present Collegiate system into a new Collegiate system “without killing the essence of life in the process.” The report, which was reprinted in yesterday’s Reporter, culminated a thorough investigation of the Colleges by a team of five distinguished scholars from various universities. The external evaluating team cited five characteristics of the Collegiate system as “most worth preserving”: (1) motivation and enthusiasm; (2) attention to slighted perspectives and values; (3) sense of community; (4) fostering of social awareness and involvement; and (5) experiential and interdisciplinary learning. Zeal and enthusiasm “A sense of zeal and crusading search for new educational and expressive forms permeates some of the Colleges,” stated the report in discussing students and faculty. “This concern has persisted even in the absence of substantia] support from the University,” the report continued. It cited the “freedom-movement vitality of the Women’s Studies College, the sense of effectiveness of those engaged in community action CP. Snow College and Rachel Caf search for scientific excellence in College D and the residential congeniality of College B.” The expression of “alternative points of view on economic, political and cultural aspects of society” was cited as a strength of the Colleges. Specifically, the report mentioned Social Sciences College and Women’s Studies College as expressing viewpoints “that do not appear adequately represented within regular university fare.” enthusiasm,” sated the report, giving a course in palmistry as an example. However, the report cautioned against assuming that all courses in “trendy” or “pseudo-scientific subjects” were being taught by unqualified instructors. If an instructor’s enthusiasm led to a “mastery of the .. subject,” then a “lack of formal credentials would not matter.” For instance, the courses in parapsychology “are taught by instructors who are well prepared,” according to the report. . Partisan persuasion “Partisian advocacy” was criticized by the evaluators: “A teacher who feels passionately about his theories will try his best to persuade the students of the or, in a few cases, go beyond correctness of his theories persuasion.” For example, “when Plato was studied in College F, the partisian defense of homosexuality generated interpretations of the text that were patently wrong,” the report explained. Discussing the alleged lower standards in College courses, the report stated: ‘The general suspicion that undemanding courses are more numerous in the Colleges than in the departments may be justified.” However, it cautioned that “this type of course may not really be typical of the Collegiate system as a whole.” While acknowledging that “lazy, untalented, or unscrupulous students may use the Colleges to earn their degrees with less intellectual effort or with a higher ... abuses curtailed only if its critics can acknowledge its virtues, its advocates .can acknowledge its abuses, and all parties can come to understand the relations between those strengths and weaknesses,” stated the report in a call for accommodation. The Collegiate system can never be made completely free from flaws, the report stressed. “The possibility of abuses is a price worth paying in return for the presence of virtues,” it asserted. The evaluators called for “collegiate autonomy” while insisting upon procedures to insure “academic integrity.” All instructors teaching courses should have the “rrequisite competence,” the evaluators strongly recommended. “One who knows a subject well may teachit badly, but one who does not know it well will surely teach it badly,” they reasoned. The report also suggested incorporating the talents of those “whose competence is not judged on the baas of normal academic credentials” with those of regular faculty members. ‘There is no subject matter that is intrinsically unsuitable for academic inquiry,” the report asserted. Specifically, the report mentioned the value of teaching “seemingly non-intellectual pursuits” such as crafts, mystical behavior and parapsychology. The evaluators stressed the importance of continual experimentation and assessment: “Innovative enterprises should be encouraged, and the inhibiting effects of fear or failure should be mitigated by a spirit of adventuresomeness.” Appealing for adherence to the “canons of honesty,” the report explained: “Grades may be used or not. They should not be abused.” Individual Colleges can assume a variety of forms, and should not be restricted solely to residential Colleges , „ • Learning-by-experience The report also praised the “sense of intimate community and shared intellectual and social concerns” as highly conducive to learning. A further positive aspect of “community” cited by the report was “the participation of students in the policy-making and administration of academic life.” Involvement in real community problems can add an important dimension to learning and can increase student motivation, according to the report. “Particularly striking examples include CP. Snow College and College Z in their studies and activities in legal aid, ho and urban studies; Rachel Carson College in its address to environmental problems; and Women’s Studies College in its interest in seeking equal rights for women within the University and on a wide frontier.” The report described various learning-by-experiencing programs found in some of the Colleges as “valuable.” It particularly cited the College Z program involving students in current courtroom cases and the Rachel Carson environmental action program involving students in local pollution control enforcement. Weaknesses noted The weaknesses called “most important to combat” by the external evaluators were: (1) Bad faith in regard to agreed upon rules and procedures; (2) Lax standards in selecting instructors; (3) Tolerance of partisan advocacy; (4) Disregard for University standards regarding work and grades: (5} Lack of adequate financialand faculty support; and (6) Lack of healthy relations with the rest of the University. As examples of “bad faith,” the report noted the “not uncommon” Collegiate practice of repeating or slightly changing an experimental course without submitting the course to the procedure for regularizing it. College E was specifically criticized for psing this procedure. “Some of the controversial [College] courses are taught by people whose only qualification seems to be grade-point average than they could have done otherwise,” the report maintained that distribution requirements and the requirements for various majors make it impossible for students to take more than a few “undemanding” courses. No transcript stigma Disputing the contention that College courses on a student’s transcript adversely affect his graduate school and job acceptances, the report stated there is no “convincing evidence that graduate schools, professional schools or potential employers have become wary of Buffalo graduates because of the Collegiate system.” The report also noted “woefully inadequate financial support” by the Administration as a weakness besetting the Colleges. Inadequate budgets often guarantee “not only barely reputable projects, but also a hostile outsider mentality.” A flrfal weakness cited by the report was the “ruinous confrontational relations” between the Colleges and Administration. The present Collegiate Assembly “reflects and magnifies” these bad relations, forcing the Colleges into “intransigent, amateurish arguments “and an authoritarian role.” Virtues override abuses The evaluating committee outlined a series of recommendations under which the Collegiate System could be reformed. “Its virtues can be preserved and its as originally conceived, the report stated. Finally, the report called for a “reallocation of University resources” to provide support “at a level adequate for the programs of the Colleges.” The reallocation should include both “direct funding of Collegiate activities” and “new financial incentives” to reward academic departments whose faculty commit time to the Colleges. The evaluators recommended that the University “initiate immediately a process to transform the present Collegiate system into a new Collegiate system in the spirit of changing one living organism into another without killing the essence of life in the process. Specifically, the report recommended a five-step process for carrying out the transformation, to be completed by the end of the 1974-75 academic year. First, the report advocated the creation of an ad hoc i committee to carry out the transformation of the Collegiate System. This committee should consist of the faculty and student members of the Faculty-Senate committee on the Colleges, two College students and two masters/coordinators elected by the Collegiate Assembly, plus the Ddirector of the Colleges. Secondly, the report recommended a new Collegiate prospectus which would clearly state the “criteria which a College must satisfy.” This prospectus should detail ” —continued on page 3— �PubHc education nee strong student support Public education is being Student Assembly (SUSA) have threatened, guest speaker Brian now merged into one Petraitis told the Student organization, of which he is the Assembly Tuesday.

More vending machines should be installed, suggested Jeanne Perry, mail service should be improved, mail should be delivered on Saturdays, and bus shelters should be erected now for the bad weather. Another student suggested that North Campus residents be permitted to use the Audubon Amherst Recreation Center located near the campus. Its facilities, which include an ice skating rink, are presently open only to residents of the town of Amherst. Other suggestions included basketball courts, dances, coffee houses, a bar, a trampoline, an exorcise room, a crafts center and a whorehouse. Students- also suggested improvements which have already been instituted. Complaints from the Main Campus were minimal, mostly centering around the lack of adequate cooking facilities and a quiet place to study. Many students seemed temporarily content while planning to move off campus next semester. ~ r~ tcitKJ ; s �External report.

These proposals should describe “educational objectives, programs and the governmental structure” of the proposed College units. To form this transformed Collegiate structure, the new units need not coincide with existing College units one for one; the report encouraged different Colleges with a “common intellectual thrust” to merge or form new units. In approving these proposals, the ad-hoc committee should assure itself that the College unit has a quality educational program, that the program does not duplicate already-existing programs and that the College will have adequate financial and faculty resources. “Administrative ratification” of committee-approved proposals, while riot automatic, is “expected to be the The University must “act swiftly to save the Collegiate concept without losing those gains which have been achieved,” the report urged. The members of the external evaluating team were; B5. Chandrasekhar, professor of Physics at Case Western Reserve University; Benjamin DeMott, professor of English at Amherst College; Samuel Gorovitz, professor of Philosophy at Maryland University; Thomas Gould, professor of Classics at Yale University; and Ruth Mary Hill, one of the creators of Friends World College. Jonathan Reichert, chairman of the Faculty-Senate Colleges Committee, praised the evaluators for their thoroughness, dedication and independence. “They worked 16-18 hours every day they were here,” Dr. Reichert remarked. He added that the Colleges Committee would hold an open meeting to discuss the report next Tuesday at 4 p.m. in Diefendorf 148. Dr. Reichert urged all members of the University community interested in the Colleges to read the report and attend the meeting. . norm,” the report stated. “If the Administration rejects a proposal, it should give its reasons for doing so to the ad hoc committee,” it elaborated. The evaluators rejected a proporsl that the Colleges be separated into “the good and the bad” with good Colleges receiving increased support and “bad” Colleges being phased out. This was similar to a proposal advanced by Academic Affairs vice president Bernard Gelbaum, which suggested slashing the present number of Colleges by two-thirds. “We find it not possible to make a clear separation of the Colleges into the two groups. Rather, we find in practically every College that which is admirable as well as that which is unacceptable,” explained the evaluators. They also rejected a proposal to immediately suspend the total Collegiate operation and build a completely new structure. A proposal to “weed out” undesirable elements and nurture healthy elements in each Confusion ends SASJJ and SUSA merged . by Richard Debp * a .'I If * Spectrum Staff Writer Ending the most confusing piur of acronyms in memory, the’ Student Association of the State University, Inc. (SASU) and the State University Student Assembly (SUSA) have merged into one organization. The metgbd organization, to be led by SASU chairperson Brian J. PetraitiS, was voted into existence at the SUSA meeting in Albany last weekend, following months of questions regarding the need for both groups. The original idea for a state-wide student organization resulted from student disenchantment Chancellor, Dr. Boyer said he did not know enough about SASU to make a decision. A committee of ten student presidents was selected to periodically meet with the' Chancellor to discuss the matter. At the outset of these meetings, Dr. Boyer made it clear that he was unwilling to designate SASU as the official student governance body because it was an “independent corporation over which the Chancellor could exert no control.” The Chancellor also objected to the dues SASU charged its member student governments. Independence required For its organization to be truly politically independent of the State University, SASU felt, financial independence had to be guaranteed. Therefore, it depended on the students it represented for operating funds.The impasse was broken in December 1972 when SASU, believing that the Chancellor would never officially recognize it in its present form, proposed a “dual” organization to act as the “representative” and “service” arms of the student body. After several months of negotiations, this proposal was agreed upon by all concerned. SUSA was created to act as the governance body on SUNY affairs, and SASU continued to represent student concerns to the State Legislature and other agencies external to the State University. Last . weekend, the two organizations were consolidated 1 into an “umbrella” group called the “Student Association of the State University of New York” (SASU). The “new” SASU has the Student Assembly as the policy-making body, and SASU, Inc. as the “teeth” of the organization. Mr. Petraitis, now chairperson of the umbrella organization, compared the arrangement to that of the Student Association and Sub Board 1 on this campus.

Unified voice Brian Petraitis --FrledmSn with the method used by the State University of New York (SUNY) Board of Trustees in selecting L. Boyer as Chancellor of SUNY in the early Ernest summer df 19701. Hie five student government presidents, who formed the nucleus of the dissenting group, felt the appointment had been made without sufficient consultation with students. Student government leaders gathered in Albany iif October 1970' for the, first session of the newly-formed SASU.;By-lawi adopted at the first meeting defined' the group not only as a political forum for student governments, but as a service . J' . organization as Wdl.' Recognition lacking During the next two years, student support of SASU solidified and its operations became ’more professional. However, it was unable to obtain formal recognition from the SUNY Board of ' Trustees. Acting on the recommendation of SASU leaders in spring 1972, Chancellor Boyer proposed in .the 1972 SUNY Master Plan that a University-wide for the “student delegate body be designated purpose of formulating and communicating to the Chancellor the views of all students." In September 1972, SASU urged student governments of all SUNY schools to go on record to support the designation of SASU as this official representative organization. When student presidents proposed this tofthe ... ... “This move guarantees that State University students will have one, unified student representative voice,” Mr. Pet rail is explained. “Additionally., it guarantees that valpable student services will continue to be provided and that students will have a representative organization that will be fiscally independent of the State University.” SASU is involved in thre main areas of student representation. It is a legislative body, dealing with appropriation of student activity fees and tuition. Its wire service to SUNY (chools provides the latest information on campus and SASU. Jnc. events. In addition, it offers student services such as “Purchase Power,” insurance policies and travel discounts. rWhen SASU Inc. was independent, a membership fee was chaiged to all schools. The fee wgs based oni the number of full-time students enrolled in each school. SUSA, on the other hand, was financed by the Board of Trustees. When the two joined, many felt that' any fee could be eliminated. Reflecting sentiment, that to be truly independent, SASU, Inc. must be financially independent, Mr. Petraitis asserted that the fee would -remain. “All schools are entitled to membership in the Student Assembly at no cost. Membership in SASU, Inc. is strictly voluntary,” said Mr. Petraitis. He added that almost all schools do belong to SASU, Inc. In the recent SASU-SUSA elections, the same candidates ran for positions in both organizations. This added to questions about the need for both poups. When asked what will be done with the election results now that the two groups have merged, Mr. Petraitis answered; “In only one instance was there any conflict, and that problem is being worked out.” /Chaff/ A NEW play by Lionel Abel Directed by Helen Touster with music by Morton Feldman and Lukas Foss Kenan Center-Taylor Theatre (Lockport, New York) Nov. 12 - 8:3013- 14 15- 16 Tickets on sale - - 17 Norton Union or Kenan Center Adm. $3.00 - 625-8096 Students $1.50 Friday, 9 November 1973 The Spectrum Page three . . �Election ’73 Democrats sweep county and state I Democrats in Erie County swept to an avalanche victory in Tuesday’s election. Mayor Stanley Makowski defeated Republican challenger Stewart Levy by nearly a three-to-one margin. With 418 of 467 election districts reporting, Mr. Makowski led Mr. Levy by 77,569 to 24,423. Mr. Makowski said it was a “scary feeling” to have so many people vote for him. Earlier in the campaign, he had expressed the hope that the election would be close. In the race for University District Councilman, Republican incumbent Charles Volkert suffered a resounding defeat at the hands of Democrat Bill Price. Mr. Price won by a margin of nearly two-to-one. Incomplete totals gave Mr. Price 7,241 votes to Mr. Volkert’s 5,309. Mr. Price credited his victory to a coalition of “young and old; all races and ethnic groups.” The Democrats increased their hold oi» the Erie County Legislature as Susan Lubick ousted Republican Kevin Brinkworth. The Democrats missed electing Harold Izard by 250 votes, which would have given them the necessary votes to override any vetoes by Republican County Executive Edward Regan. At present, the margin in the Legislature will be 13 Democrats and 7 Republicans. Republican Charles Brietel obtained a comfortable majority in the upstate areas and resisted a large surge of Democratic New York City votes to defeat Jacob Fuchsberg for Chief Judge of the State Court of Appeals. The $3.5 billion Transportation Bond issue was also defeated, primarily by upstate opposition outside Erie County. The proposition carried both New York City and Erie County, but was defeated by nearly a 2-to-l margin elsewhere in the state. The proposed Buffalo Convention Center was defeated by a close margin; vote counts were unavailable at press time. Sheriff Mike Amico swamped his Republican challenger, Sam Giambrone, by a total of 185,682 to 84,993. Democrat Joseph Tauriello was elected State Senator for the 55th District over Republican Peter Fiorella,and Democrat Edward Cosgrove was the victor in the race for District Attorney. An elected school board, to be chosen in May instead of November, was approved by Buffalo voters by 35,049 to 27,841. Final figures were unavailable at press time, but Democrat Abe Beame seemed headed for a sure sweep in the race for New York City Mayor, with the other votes divided among the other three candidates. Democratic mayors were elected across New York State, highlighted by a ninth consecutive term for Albany’s Democratic mayor. Republicans suffered widespread defeat across the nation, which many observers interpreted as a result of widespread voter disenchantment with Watergate.

Nixon, Sen. George S. McGovern called the 197 2 Presidential election “invalid” because “it Was not based on all the known facts. “The covcr*up was too successful,” he said, “and if the American people knew a year ago what they now know about this Administration, I’m convinced that Mr. Nixon would have been voted out of office no matter who his Democratic challenger would have been.” Sen. McGovern Nixon would, resign predicted Mr. Nixofl" received; support from 81 -year-old Sen. George L. Aiken (R., Vt.) who urged the President not to resign and said the House of Representatives should set a deadline by which time it should either impeach Mr. Nixon or declare that he is guilty of no impeachable offense. “Either impeach him or get off his back,” Sen. Aiken emphasized. In another Watergate related development, Mary Woods, President Nixon’s personal secretary for more thah 20 years, was expected to testify in the Watergate tape bearings this week. Douglas Park*;, one of the President’s attorneys assigned to the hearings, said the White'House would make no objection to her testimony. U.S. District Court Judge John J. Sirica ordered Ms. Woods Tuesday to appear before him to answer questions about the tapes after White House Aide Stephen Bull revealed she has had possession of fourteen tapes sided late September. Ms, Woods has been reportedly transcribing conversations on the tapes. Key objecthfciB ■ Judge Sirica reoutlined his three key objectives at the opening of the third day of hearing Wednesday. The court is attempting to establish the chain of possession of the tape recordings, to find out how they were guarded and who had access to them, and to ascertain the reasons that might explain the non-existence of tapes of two Watergate-related conversations by the President, people whose only qualification seems to be enthusiasm,” stated the Wednesday that President Nixon should agree to drop all claims of executive privilege in the investigations of the Watergate scandals. “I see no other way at this juncture of providing the reassurance necessary to the Congress and the American people that the special prosecutor can get to the bottom of all these matters,” he stated in an appearance before the Senate Judiciary Committee. “We have reached the point where it seems to me any further conversation about privilege ought to be eliminated,” Mr. Richardson added. Job finished .In addition, Charles Alan Wright is back; home in Texas after serving as President Nixon’s chief legal strategist in the battle for control of the Watergate tapes. He said he is out of the case now simply because the job he was prepare the asked to do constitutional arguments is over. Mr. Wright did not receive word of the two missing tapes until the day of the public - — stages. The first, effective immediately, requires government agencies to reduce the temperatures in federal office buildings by 8 degrees to approximately 65 degrees, which Mr. Nixon claimed “would make us all more healthy." This reduction is to be coupled with a SO mph speed limit for all federal government vehicles. Prior to the speech, Mr. Nixon conferred with state and local leaders from accross the country and asked them to take similar measures. All Americans must do what they can to “meet the challenge,” he said. Again emphazing a joint effort, the President called for staggered working and school hours and the formation of car pools wherever possible. If “we join with the spirit and the determination of the American people, then half the battle will be won,” Mr. Nixon said. Extending Daylight Savings The President conceded that the crisis may worsen due to the unstable political situation in the Middle East.. To cope with this possibility, he detailed a series of further contingency proposals to be put into effect if necessary. He urged Congress to pass an Emergency Energy Act before its December recess so that the Executive branch would be empowered to take emergency measures if the need Won’t walk away The President’s strong appeal for all Americans to unite implied that Mr. Nixon was going to be the one to lead this effort. He dealt specifically with the question of his ability to retain his office after listing his proposals. Noting that it was one year ago that he was re-elected by an overwhelming majority, the President said he had made “great progress in achieving the goals I set forth in my re-election campaign.” Mr. Nixon made a brief reference to the “deplorable Watergate matter,” but maintained his ability to secure the “confidence” of the American people and stated outright that he had “no intention whatever of walking away from the job I was elected to do.” He expressed his hope that future months would prove he had “not violated the trust” of the American people, pledged to do everything possible to be “worthy of that trust in the future.” Terming his energy policy “Project Independence,” and comparing it to the massive wartime effort of the Manhattan (atomic bomb) Project, the President stressed the need for a “strength of self-sufficiency” that would allow the US. to meet its energy needs without the aid of foreign nations. Mr. Nixon said his goal Was to develop the capacity to meet our energy needs without foreign aid by 1980. Mr. Nixon called for prompt approval of the Alaska pipeline without “burdensome and unnecessary restrictions,” an increase in research and development programs, and an effort to tap yet-unused natural resources. announcement. “It was my secretary who told me,” Mr. Wright said. “She said, ’You won’t believe this, but two of the tapes don’t exist. You should hear it from us before hearing it on the radio’.” Mr. Wright did not know whether the two disputed conversations had ever been reporded, but was willing to accept the White House statement that they had not been. “I believe my colleagues, 1 believe the-> President,” he said. But he added that if it turned out the two tapes had existed and then been destroyed, he would withdraw from all participation in the White House case. MeaVwhile, former assistant Attornhy General William Ruckelshaus, who spoke at this University Monday, revealed' that phone wiretaps were placed on Administration officials and newsmen who were not included in an already-repotted 21-month Nixon Administration effort to stop news leaks Of dassified information to the press.

The admissions system used for the past two years consisted of a two-step selection process, by which 45% of the class was chosen on the basis of high school percentile rank and 50% by a combination of grade point (CPA) and average regent scholarship examination (RSE).' The remaining 5% were selected according to their raw rank in high school. For the class entering in September 1974, however, the students will be chosen on the basis of percentile rank in high school, GPA, and RSE with the lowest of the three ranks being discarded and the other two ranks being averaged. Ninety-five percent of the freshman class will be chosen by this average with the remaining '5% selected by raw rank in high school. A minimum Regents score of 150 and a 90 GPA will be required in the latter group. “the cost of living away is too great,” students are choosing to attend a school in their local area. This has been evidenced by the fact that 63% of Western New this Yorkers accepted by University last year eventually enrolled here. SAT scores One amendment the to that was proposal was defeated the possible use of SAT scores as a fourth category to rank the applicant with the other three criteria.

Thomas Wolfe, assistant professor of Geography, was informed in June of this year that his three-year contract would not be renewed in September 1974. The only explanation offered, he indicated, was that his Ph.D had not been completed. Since he expected to receive his doctorate shortly from McMaster University in Hamilton, Canada, Mr. Wolfe was not pverly concerned at the Department In a letter to Dr. Smith dated October 3, “Dr.” Wolfe requested that he recommend contract renewal for him to the Provost of the Faculty of Social Sciences and Administration, based on the completion of all requirements for his Ph.D. Mr. Wolfe told him that since he would be considered for tenure after one more year at this University of Bristol England has invited him to work on a project next summer, and the Secretary of Natural Resources in Puerto Rico has asked him to “come to Puerto Rico to compare notes and field settings through a few weeks of mutual field and laboratory study of sediment transportation in carbonate aquifers.” Mr. Wolfe added: “With this he was requesting only research and the material a one-year contract extension at remaining to be published from this time.

Attendance is optional in two other Political Science courses dealing with the Congress and state and local governments. Finally, each intern will be required to produce a bibliographic essay from the available literature on the New York State Legislature. In order to complete their investigation, each intern will be assigned to work with a group of legislators and their staffs. The internship work is expected to require nearly 40 hours per week. Commitment to SASU Interns will have a responsibility to SASU in addition to their academic responsibilities. Besides satisfactory completion of the program, students will be expected to organize and coordinate the annual SASU legislative conference. Interns will contribute to the bi-weekly SASU legislative reports, the SASU press service, and the monthly SASU newsletter, Update. Evaluation of each intern will be based upon their completion of the academic requirements, not on the internship experience itself. Grades will be determined by each intern’s supervising faculty member. However, recommendations and evaluations of the SASU supervisors regarding the duties performed for SASU will -also be considered in awarding final grades. Application deadline for the SASU legislative internship program is November 26. All those interested must secure the necessary information and application immediately, either by contacting the Political Science department at 4238 Ridge Lea or Ray Glass, the SASU legislative director, at 109 State Street, Albany, N.Y. 12207, or call (518) 465-2406. Applicants will be selected on the basis of writing, research, speaking ability and various other criteria. Applicant interviews are scheduled in Albany for Friday, November 30. Final selection of candidates will be conducted on December 1 and 2. Selected interns will be encouraged to attend the second meeting of the State University Student Assembly (SUSA) scheduled for December 7-9 at the State University College at Buffalo. Those selected will also be expected to attend a 2-3 day orientation program in Albany which will take place in late December or early January. A legislative internship program at Albany is being sponsored by the Student Association of the State University (SASU) for the spring semester of 1974. This program will be open to all students who are attending any four-year school of the State University of New York (SUNY). The intership program will allow those students seeking experience in legislative government to do so in a full-time program combining work and study, according to Ray Glass, legislative director of SASU. Working directly with the State Legislature, each intern will do legislative research, draft legislation, find sponsors for bills and prepare testimony in support of legislation. The program is also designed to increase communication between legislators and students by developing accurate information on legislative issues which are of student interest. Academic credit Six interns will be chosen to work and monitor the daily activities of the 1974 State Legislature. The students will be required to live in Albany and pay their own living and traveling expenses. Credit for the program will be arranged either through the student's home campus or through the Albany State visiting student program. SASU’s legislative interns will be restricted to issues specifically relating to students and higher education. Participants will analyze specific legislative issues or some aspect of the legislative process in consultation with a supervising faculty member.

Writer Reorganization of the University was considered at the Faculty-Senate meeting Tuesday by President Robert Ketter, who offered three reasons why the present system was being questioned. The recent Middle States accreditation report evaluating this University “found it virtually impossible to see who was responsible for what,” Dr. Ketter said. He has received “hundreds of complaints from deans, vice presidents and provost? asking what they are supposed to do and what responsibilities are theirs,” Dr. Ketter explained. Finally, “it is increasingly difficult to find hard data as to what actually goes Uniting factions Reorganization was considered again this summer, the University President explained.

President Ketter suggested several changes in the present system. An office could be created for long-range budget planning to insure that the goals originally set for the school’s factions are not being forgotten. This would prevent departmental goals from being controlled by budget allotments and insure that it works the other way around. Other systems that might be instituted, according to Dr. Ketter, are similar to the present one at SUNY af Stony Brook graduate school in which the university is divided into four schools; health science, mathematical and engineering sciences, sociology and behavioral science (including education and law), and humanities (including history and philosophy). Faculty will decide Dr. Ketter conceded the present system might prove to be the most efficient. “It is undesirable to switch systems unless the change would benefit the University,” said Dr. Ketter. “Is the trauma of reorganization worth it?” The question was left for the faculty to decide. Admissions policy is also undergoing a change. The Faculty-Senate Admissions Committee formed last summer is considering a new plan for admissions. The plan was amendments were suggested and debated. A new admissions category for special achievement is being considered by the committee (see page 6]. President Ketter explained the reason for his recent trip to Korea. Last August the president of Kyung Pook National University in Taegu, Korea, came to the US. to observe several universities. When he returned to Korea, he wrote a letter to President Ketter requesting him to consider a cooperative between the two universities. After much thought. President Ketter concluded that “there are some g gar sisterhood relationship.” The University of Kyung Pook is said to be the most up-and-coming college in the Orient. The students are of high caliber and most speak English. The agreement between the two schools includes: an exchange of professors between the schools; an exchange of students; cooperative research projects; exchange of research materials; and pursuit of other projects of mutual interest. President Ketter noted that the exchange of American and Korean students would not take place until the facilities abroad were improved.

(c) The Colleges After years of the criticisms, counter-criticisms, polemics and dissension that have plagued the Colleges since their birth, a rational, objective assessment of the Collegiate system has now been completed. Following an internal evaluation that was essentially favorable, five distinguished scholars from other universities have completed a 25-page document which deteils, with profound insight, perspective and sensitivity/ the strengths and weaknesses of the Colleges and recommendations for improvement. This is not just another bureaucratic report, for the external evaluation, highly-touted by the Administration, is the freshest, most comprehensive look at the Colleges in years. The report applauds the strengths of the Colleges, which have long been obvious to Collegiate supporters but minimized by the Administration. Noting an enrollment of 6000 after four years, the report praises the Colleges' motivation, enthusiasm and sense of community. The community action programs of Z, C.P. Snow and Rachel Carson received special mention, but the Colleges overall were praised for their attention to slighted perspectives going and values; interdisciplinary learning; and social involvement beyond mere classroom analysis of social problems into active studies of housing, legal aid, urban, environmental and transit problems. The external evaluators also shot down the myth that College courses blemish a student's transcript in the eyes of grad schools and employers. They agreed with the long-standing College complaint that the Colleges are not adequately supported by the Administration, either financially or through sharing faculty with academic departments. The report thus called for accommodation between the Administration and the Colleges, rightly noting that while the Colleges lack leadership and internal cohesion, bad relations force the divided Collegiate Assembly into defensive arguments and the Administration into an authoritarian role. This adversary relationship must end. No one has ever claimed the Colleges are perfect, and the report detailed several weaknesses. These included inadequate evaluation of experimental courses (experimentation was encouraged; so was academic scrutiny of those experiments) and dubious standards for selection of instructors. They ask that undergraduate, graduate and non-faculty instructors be supervised by a University faculty member. This is a faculty-supremacy suggestion which falsely assumes that otherwise-competent instructors must be wet-nursed by faculty members. However, the report rightly noted that while enthusiasm may not equal proficiency, a tack of formal credentials does not necessarily mean an instructor is unqualified. They criticized the high proportion of "undemanding" courses in. some Colleges, noting that students opting exclusively for these courses may earn a degree through less effort and with more A's than otherwise, but indicated that distribution requirements make it impossible for a student to take more than a few of these courses. The criticism may be valid, but unstructured, unconventional or experimental courses are not necessarily undemanding, a false equation advanced by some administrators. Fortunately, the report noted that the Colleges can never be made completely free from flaws: and its virtues outweigh its abuses. They completely free from flaws; and its virtues outweigh its abuses. They if procedures ere established to insure competent instructors and a standard of academic integrity for every credit-granting course. They encourage both teacher diversity and experimentation, explaining there is no subject matter unsuitable for academic inquiry. Grades and credit should be de-emphasized and not abused; experimental courses should be objectively evaluated; obsolete ventures should be gracefully terminated. The report rejected such plans as Dr. Gelbaum's proposal to slash the number of Colleges by two-thirds. Instead, it called for a representative ad hoc committee to create a new Collegiate Prospectus and transform the structure of the Colleges into a new structure. Each present College can apply for membership in this new community, or similar units can merge and apply. The aim is to lend legitimacy to the new alignment, with the ad hoc committee approving the new structure and Administration ratification "expected to be the norm." The report's examination of Collegiate strengths and weaknesses should provide the Colleges with an invaluable guide for self-improvement. In accordance with the report's recommendations, the Administration must financially support the Colleges without resorting to paternalistic dictates. The recommendation for a transformed structure which would retain the life essence of the present structure is a sound one. There are three dangers: that the report will not translate itself into practical reforms; that the Colleges will react over-defensively to the report's criticisms; and that the Administration will act on certain recommendations and ignore others. The Colleges must attempt to achieve internal cohesion, academic integrity and viable procedures for its valuable course experimentation. But both the Colleges and the students who take their courses must fight to insure that this excellent external evaluation it fairly and comprehensively considered, not manipulated for partisan purposes. rfrjg fn, The Spectrum. Friday, 9 November 1975 start cutting into the flabby welfare rolls. But when Nelson Rockefeller, who was elected as a by Pete Kami! 1973, New York Pott is baring his Slowly, Nelson Rockefeller hand. He will not do it in New York. He will not travel the boroughs, or return to the black or Puerto Rican ghettoes, where he campaigns so lustily for Governor. He is now campaigning for President. And he does that act in another country. The other day, he brought his new act to Phoenix, Ariz., where he pandered for the future votes of the Goldwater Republicans. Rockefeller remembers them: they screamed and booed and shouted filth at him in 1964. He remembers these people all right. He remembers them in California, when they made the midnight calls, heaping abuse on his wife. He remembers how they denied him the nomination for President. And now he is going to them, joining up with them, embracing the whole rotten country club system of bigotry and money that spawned Haldeman, Rehnquist, Ehrlichman, Nixon and Goldwater. • � � “We are going to have to be a tougher people,” Rockefeller said, winking', cajoling, performing for 1300 Goldwaterites at the Phoenix Trunk ‘n’ Tusk dinner. And the Goldwaterites cheered and whistled. Oh, yeah, let’s get tough. Let’s get those Neegroes and Portareekins offa the welfare, boy. Let’s get tough with everybody. Beautiful. And, Of course, he talked about welfare. Nelson Rockefeller never worked for a buck in his life; he was born to inherited wealth. His audience was made up of those people who would do almost anything to get rich. Naturally he talked about welfare. But you can be certain those people never had to fight rats or roaches in the night, understand the humiliation of a welfare office, worry about clothes for their kids when school opens, or think about where to get a tree when Christmas arrives. This was a meeting of the Old Rich and the Cowboy Rich, and Rockefeller was telling them what they wanted to hear. About how tough he was. He told them about how he made welfare recipients start picking up their checks in person, and thus cut the rolls by 23 per cent. Real tough. “They didn’t show because they either had a job or they had an account or they lived in Puerto , Rico or some other country or some other state,” he said, and in the words of The Tima, he was “smiling along with his audience.” This is not to say that there have been no abuses in welfare, or that it isn’t necessary to , liberal Republican, goes before a gang of Goldwater Republicans and starts bragging about such things, then he has abandoned his commitment to New York and is running for President with die rightists. I think a guy who lives in Bensonhurst, and earns 133 bucks and change a week, can complain about welfare; but not a guy like Nelson Rockefeller who was a millionaire the day he was bom. Rockefeller also told the Goldwater people that part of the problem he had as Govenor was that some people had a philosophical view that welfare was “an opportunity to develop a new method of redistributing wealth.” This is in contrast, I suppose, to the Rockefellers, and the Nixon people, and the whole Goldwater country club crowd, who have been engaged in the largest program of redistributing wealth in American history. Only it is being redistributed from the poor to the rich. There are some warnings here for New Yorkers. When Rockefeller starts moving around with the Goldwater people, his focus has been distorted. It has to be. The needs of New York are simply not the same as the needs of Phoenix or Scottsdale. Those country club people will take advantage of the superb welfare programs instituted for the rich; they are not really interested in the needs of the poor. Anywhere. But certainly not in New York. • • f If Rockefeller has really gone that .way, then he should remove himself from the Governor’s chair in Albany, and, be that “new” Nelson Rockefeller on a full-time basis. He can wander around the country, telling rich people how he is going to build a greater U.S., and they can cheer, and he can wink, and pump their hands, and they can all laugh together at other people’s human tragedy. But he shouldn’t be doing that as Governor of New York. Those people Out There have been sponging off the wealth of New York for too long. We send the federal government billions and get back a pittance, because our money is building their highways, their housing, their fortunes. Rockefeller should know that his bottom line , ., commitment lira .1. m must ..be to the most hurt,, damaged and humiliated citizen of this state and city, before he even .thinks about the sleek and rich inhabitants of Phoenix. And if he is not willing to make that commitment, he should pack it in. Now. Wolfe Wolfe's a Retain Dr. To the Editor To the Editor. A correction needs to be made in your November 2nd issue of The Spectrum. On page six (6) in the article entitled, “Ten Largest Classes under the subtitle, “Geography 101,” (in lines 6+7) Mr. Wolfe should be Dr. Wolfe. This may seem trivial, but Dr. Wolfe’s contract has not been renewed; allegedly because he doesn’t have a PhD degree. This is untrue. Dr. Wolfe has tried to remedy the situation by submitting to Dr. Ketter and the Provost’s office proof that he has obtained the degree of Doctor of Philosophy, but no action has been taken A correction in Monday’s The Spectrum may open the eyes of Dr. Ketter and the Provost’s office. I suggest, in all fairness to Dr. Wolfe, that The Spectrum include such a correction at the earliest possible date. In your issue of November 2. you stated that Geograph 101 is one of the top ten classes at this University. The two noteworthy teachers of this . DITQRIAL Hamfll Column .. Jonathan H. Elwell course are Dr. Ebert and DOCTOR Wolfe. This brings up a puzzling question: why is Dr. Wolfe being fired? His academic, research and popular teaching abilities prove him an asset to the University and students alike. Through a bureaucratic error. Dr. Wolfe is being denied the job that he so well deserves. The students of Geography 101 request that the Administration review the events leading up to Dr. Wolfe’s dismissal. Thank about it.

'iiH by Bury Kaplan As the cold and bluster of winter slowly penetrates our homes and clothes, the black shadow of an energy crisis begins to appear slowly on the horizon. As newspaper headlines blare forth the possible prospects of rationing; no heat in homes; bus and plane service curtailment; dollar-a-gafipn gasoline and other assorted prophecies, the American people seem to be in a restless slumber knowing something drastic is about to occur yet attempting to wish it away. Our style of living is the main culprit, yet Americans do not realize that their way of life is coming to an end. Detroit still brings out monster gas-gulping monstrosities, but Americans are refusing to realize that the automobile will soon be a thing of the past and rapid transit the new mode of - Why Maddox?

Granted, as long as he was invited, he had the rijght to speak here and the- Student Association was right in carrying' through with the speech. But why invite him? He has nothingbf interest to say to anyone. That was obvious Thursday night. He does not serve to lend “balance” to the program of speakers since he is not a Conservative; he is simply as a “rightist.” There is no labelled lack of top-notch Conservative intellectuals, political leaders and journalists who could have been asked in the interest of “balance” instead of Maddox.

Iuirn ,,. V. , r ' anryri /U‘ * -**• Jackie Davies,. Qiaifmqn Young American, for Freedom transportation. According to former Secretary of the Interior Stewart L. Udall, the American people are “energy pigs” and the nation is operating on the misguided assumption that the energy crisis is a short-term problem. According to Mr. Udall, Americans can expect “the first cold shower in about sixty days,” and while supplies are becoming increasingly inaccessible, demand continues to rise. Mr. Udall noted that prospects for increased domestic supply are dim; America is the most commercially explored in the world. We now import ten percent of our oil, and if we continue to use oil at our present rate, we will have to import 35 per cent by 1980. The present Arab oil boycott, besides ironically underlining the fact that the former colonial powers are now at the mercy of their former colonies, also highlights the unstable nature of our future foreign oil reserves. If the European countries capitulate, which they will, then there is no telling where Arab demands will end. If people assume that the Arabs will not use their oil weapon again for different demands, they are greatly mistaken. The United States cannot afford to be at the beck-and-call of third-rate nations whose only claim to recognition is the vagaries of geography. America has reached the end of an era in which energy was cheap and the standard of living was high. Have the American people and their government begun to plan for the future, now that we realize that our supplies of oil are decreasing? In this case the future is not one winter or one year the future is the coming decade. Has the government committed itself to mass transit? Has the government begun to investigate new sources of power besides oil? Has the government cut down on its reliance upon the automobile and slowed its road building program? It seems as if the government does not realize the enormity of the situation, and continues to' propose but hot implement stopgap measures which sound severe, yet only perpetuate file ideology that created this crisis. - .. . <(■«« ..... t Would it insure future economic growth if the government began to ration fuel, lower speed limits, and utilize other necessary but essentially short range concepts. What the government has to do is lead the American people into the realization that air conditioners are a luxury that utilize energy which could be used for a more essential purpose. The government must commit itself to mass transit in order to provide a viable alternative to the now-obsolete automobile. As the situation now stands, people drive to places only because the mass transit and inter-urban rail systems are so poor. These new systems would use far less energy and move people far more efficiently than the automobile. If the government does not provide for a nationwide system of mass transit, the cost of automobile ownership will make the car a plaything for the upper classes without providing any alternative to the poor and middle-income groups. According to news reports, the Northwest will severe oil shortages, which will necessitate the possible closing of schools and factories and leave private homes without heat. Yet we are still unable to see that this is not some temporary shortage to be solved by some miraculous discovery of oil even the Alaskan reserves could not begin to fulfill our future needs. The American lifestyle, admired by so many nations, is unfeasible for the decade of the seventies. For every car that consumes seven miles to the gallon there will be for every air conditioner that people without heat so much there will be people who can’t saps power, because to work the bus lines had to cancel or get curtail its service. While the rich and some middle-class families will be able to pay the extra money, most people will just have to suffer. experience _ — - As of this writing, there has been no action to conserve or reduce the amount of gas used by this country. The speed limits are still the same, gas has not yet been rationed, people are still acting as if this was only a sham some sort of governmental game. Maybe in these turbulent times Americans have learned to adjust to crisis situations without getting overly excited. Yet America has never really suffered materially, and when the squeeze hits the complacent middle class, there will be hell to pay. - It is very difficult for this columnist to understand that the way of life that 1 have grown accustomed to will soon be a thing of the past. The car, once such a focal point in teenage life (see American Grafitti) will be replaced by other status symbols. If gas costs a dollar a gallon rationed or not, there will be very little cruising or just trucking. I guess it’s hard to envision the end of a lifestyle most people probably just don’t want to think about it. Unfortunately, the age of cheap fuel is over and like good economic children, we will have to adjust accordingly. After all, there isn’t much choice. - — Assembly suggestions assemblyman.

Edit Clem Colucci Feature Graphic Arts Layout — ;•*. by the Editor-in-tfhief. ‘ meeting was Last ' Tuesday’s assembly highlighted by a crucial vote on the approval of Cliff Palefsky, Student Rights coordinator, as one of the members of the Personnel and Appointments Committee. The vote (19-17) in favor of Mr. Palefsky left serious doubts in the minds of Assembly members as to what should be the function of the student assembly with respect to the Executive Committee. The functions of the' Executive Committee have been well defined in the constitution, “To supervise the execution of legislation . However it appears as if the sentence should read, “To subvert the execution of legislation.” The most important arguments against Mr. Palefsky sitting on the Personnel and Appointments Committee focussed on the Student Assembly’s desifp- to become a responsible and credible organization. The only way this can be done is to alloy? assemblymen to participate in the functioning of government by allowing them to get involved in the decision-making processes.

Jon Dandes has called for an end to the pettiness of the Student Assembly in their vindictive attacks against the power of the Executive Committee. It appears that Mr. Dandes and some of the other members of his Executive Committee are suffering from a severe form of disillusionment, i.e., a persecution complex. Evidence of their paranoia can be seen by looking at their votes cast on crucial issues that threaten their “Divine Rights.” The Executive Committee will vote in solidarity for themselves and the assembly just the opposite. It has become all to obvious that the continuing partisanship is extremely detrimental to the proper functioning of student government. Jon Dandes and the rest of the Executive Committee have forgotten that they were elected to represent the needs and desires of the student body and not to cater to their own selfishness and immaturity. The only solution to the problem is for the Student Assembly to create an urgently needed separation of powers by removing the Executive Committee’s right to vote as student assemblymen. Student government cannot function without a balance of power. The Student Assembly has been trying to make important strides in becoming a responsible and credible organization. The time has come to stop Jon Dandes from subverting our goal. FViday, 9 November Michael Phillips 1973 The Spectrum . . Page eleven �Action iine Q: Whstfdoes this semester end? Thursday.

That means those awful rascals wilt make pests of themselves expecting booty." Things have come to a pretty pass, I would say. People don't celebrate Halloween anymore. They kind of just tolerate it. I think this has come about, to a large extent, because of the early arrival of Christmas. Each year, department stores and such have begun displaying Yuletide wares earlier and earlier. A gigantic conglomerate Holiday has sprung up consisting of Christmas, New Year's Day, Thanksgiving, and (oddly enough) Monday Night Football.

The Fennig's All-Star String Band combines piano, flute, fiddle, guitar, banjo and the hammered dulcimer to create some of the best old-time country music available. The hammered dulcimer predates the piano. It has no real relationship to the mountain dulcimer that Jean Ritchie plays. The instrument is presently experiencing a revival from folks like Howie Mitchell, and via Howie, Bill Spence who plays with Fennig's All-Stars. The sound of the instrument is so fresh that each and every time the music is heard, people seem compelled to stop and ask about the instrument making all those bright, happy sounds. The All-Stars were In Buffalo for the.Jpolk Festival last May and did a workshop on country dances in thte Fillmore Room. The band specializes in instruction of English country dancing, a combination of contras, longways, circle and quadrilles. This Saturday the area for dancing will be limited in the cafeteria, however those folks wanting to organize some dancing will be encouraged to do so. The Irish, Scottish, English and American fiddle'tones the band plays are sure-fire smile-getters. Bill Spence, in addition to being the band organizer, operates a recording studio, builds his own hammered dulcimers and has interests in media studies. -The Fennig's band has recorded one album for the Spences' own Front Hall Records. Each time the record has been played, people ask; "Who is it? What is it?" and "Where does it come from?" All questions can be answered when you come to the first floor cafeteria on Saturday at 9:00 to hear the Fennig's All-Star String Band featuring Bill Spence. You can bring your mother to the coffeehouse with no fear of having her assaulted by anything except the sounds. On Friday evening the coffeehouse tries something unique by presenting nine area musicians. There are few places in Buffalo for a gal or fella to show their stuff. Well, that chance is here. The range of talent is wide, including traditional songs and contemporary writers.

Muddy’s still doing to audiences what or his younger days, he did in the old days depending on how you'd like to view it. He's the supreme master at letting his voice worm it's way into the collective unconciousness of the crowd. He can set 'em and let ’em low, low down. No matter how he tells it, all you have to do is lay back, shut your eyes and float away. Dat’s de bluze. Some need al co hol to get off on it, others need weed; and all I need is Muddy's intense sense of vocal dynamics. Muddy - tf , Got me mojo workin' And just when he's let everyone peak in their own mellowness, he'll take 'em all through that final step into oblivion with a shake-ass rendition of "Got My Mojo Workin" and he sure do get his mojo working and everyone elses as well. Just as everyone's up and jumpin’, Muddy gives the coup de grace. He gets up off his stool, which he's bben ffrmly cemented to all night, and starts struttin', accentuating all his mojo rhythm.

He is reminiscent of a real funky Duanne Eddy, the absolute master at twang guitar. The essential thing to note about Hound Dog, and even Muddy's band, is their unconscious tribute to blues great Freddy King. Throughout last weekend’s concert, all the strains the and variations of King's "Remington Ride" were heard in direct cop geetar classic of all times form and extreme derivation. But no matter how it was presented it was still Freddy King. The highlight of the whole night came when Hound Dog and the Houserockers flowed into a rendition of Wilbert bubbling like in a lava pit Harrison's immortal "Kansas City." Ohhhh-weee Muskrat! All in all, it was a stellar evening of melodic tension sparked with slashing get-up-off-your-ass geetar soloing. Who played better?

That won't stop you from enjoying Eagles Over London a World War II movie in which espionage far outweighs the battle sequences. The film is about a group of Nazi spies who infiltrate England in order to destroy that nation's radar stations. They enter the country disguised as part of the British Expeditionary Force during the famous 1940 Dunkirk evacuation. Their operation is geared to the Day of the Eagle, the day when the air'force will be wiped from the skies, thus leaving the British Isles defenseless to a Nazi invasion. Beyond the excitement of the plot, the film makes strong statements about the organization of war. The Armed Forces are depicted as a mammoth bureaucracy which can only be surmounted by having friends in the right places. For example, the lead character has trouble rousing the Army's attention to the Nazis' scheme once he discovers it. Dangerously leaky The audience learns about military security leaks and the harboring of information that could prove detrimental to England's allies. An English officer protects a Nazi spy and gives her British military strategy.because she consistently goes to bed with him. The film exposes the insignificance of individual lives in a war situation. Director Castellani shows this by depicting various airmen's deaths through the repetition of the same scene. F urthermore, German spies are taught that their lives are minuscule in realtion to the cause as a whole. In one scene, a Nazi agent kills his lover while kissing her because her identity has been discovered, making her a threat to her comrades. The loss of individual lives in battle is unimportant if the struggle is ultimately won. Italian "Eagles" Eaglet Over London is an Italian production made for an American market. It stars Frederick Stafford and Van Johnson. Both are miscast as are a majority of the other players. Stafford has an Italian accent even though he plays an English captain (Paul Stevens) of Hungarian descent. This comes across as effectively as Fernando Lamas playing the part of an All-American boy. Van Johnson is not convincing as an Englishman either. The Nazis have English accents, causing one to wonder why they weren't cast in the British roles. This dialect mix-up make the movie auditorily ludicrous. The film'* special effects are poorly done. In many instances, one can practically see the model glue on the "fighter planes."

One such film, re-released around the country, is M'A*S*H. In 1969, as we all know, the country (especially the campuses) was beginning to recognize that war is not honorable.

Unable to be less than totally committed to anything she believes in, Katie pushes too hard for the easy-going Hubbell to tolerate. Returning for a talk after the first time he leaves her, Hubbell explains, "Katie, you expect too much." Incapable of understanding his argument, she replies, "Oh, but look what I've got!'' and her mixture of pride and adoration wins him back for a few more rounds. Things calm down considerably and Hubbell happily allows himself to be coaxed into a marriage which remains intact despite Katie's strong objections to her writer-husband's self-prostitution as a Hollywood hack.

Columbia Pictures' latest extravaganza. The Way We Were, conclusively answers this question which has been hanging on America's lips: yes and no. Columbia and producer-director Sydney Pollack have here committed what many serious film-goers are bound to consider a common but unpardonable sin; they have strung together a collection of sure-fire attenttdn-lgsttdrs, each worth quite a bit of popcorn rtioney fH its own right, to make a sort of high-class hybrid. We are shown a campus strike in the making, nostalgia, '40's behind-the-scenes 1930's and all this within Hollywood gossip, high melodrama two hours, PLUS STREISAND AND REDFORD TOGETHER (as the buttons and matchbooks distributed by the ever-thoughtful studio make abundantly clear). This line forms over there, folks; but given the opportunity to ogle Barbra and Bob (both sky-high on the shortening list of reliable box-oftice draws) dp on the wide screen, who even needs a movie? It is, then, quite a pleasant surprise that The Way -»- , We Were has turned out to be such a good film. A situation in which such refinements as plot, characterization, and all of the other elements of a filmmaker's craft may be seen as relatively superfluous aspects of a venture begun purely to rake in the dollars, rarely results in the type of atmosphere conducive to much artistic creation. But then, maybe artistic creation is not the most important thing here either. Whatever it is, the film works beautifully, almost without exception. The Way We Were tells of the relationship that develops between two strikingly mismatched graduates of the college Class of '37, following them from a chance meeting at a New York City bar during World War II through another meeting in the same city some twenty years later, Katie Huboski (or something like that the name is always mumbled, though whether it's s symbol of Katie's dissatisfaction or of Streisand's poor enunciation is not discernible) harbored a secret and inadmissible love for Hubbell Gardiner through all the years in which he rowed or quarterbacked or ate hamburgers with the prettiest girl on campus. Meanwhile, Katie, president of the Young Communist League, pasted "strike!" stickers next to the athletic — announcements. War-time alliance Several years later, working for the Office of War Information, Civil Defense, and about a dozen other Cracks in the cement While Katie holds fast to the belief that "people are their principles," the members of this odd couple become increasingly aware that it is impossible for them to go on as they are and yet impossible for either to change. Despite the birth of a daughter who was perhaps conceived partially to cement the relationship, Hubbell and Katie separate still as much in love as threatening to drive York, New but they were back in - each other crazy. The whole business has been worked through with style and intelligence, which prevents it from becoming an overwhelmingly sentimental ode to lost innocence (theirs, ours, and the age's). Robert Bedford plays a noncommittal character non-committally; he does not really act here at all, but rather drifts along in a casually amiable way. Barbra Streisand repeats, for what will be far from the last time, her stereotype of the loud, pushy Jew from Brooklyn. Her role is refined a bit more each time, but can't she play anything else? However, the film needs these apparent drawbacks despite much-more-than-competent help from the (ikes of Bradford Dillman as Hubbell's obnoxious best friend and Viveca Lindfors as the Hollywood Communist with — the heart of gold, and gorgeously atmospheric sets and photography, the two of them definitely make the film work double-handedly. If you number yourself among the legions of Streisand and Bedford fans now running around loose, you will not have to be told to go see The Way We you probably have already. Otherwise, the Were transformation of romantic tripe into intelligent cinema is a cause which cries out for all of our support. — A life without meaning or understanding Randi Schnur comprised the Department of Theater's third program of the season, performed four evenings Life is hell.

A Good Neighbors and Other Strangers Edgar Pangborn Collier Books Paperback 1973 $150 also in hardcover $6.96 ' Edgar Pangborn won the International Fantasy Award for his 1955 novel A Mirror for Observers and was a Hugo nominee ten years later with his adventure piece entitled Davy. Obviously the man has been getting some attention, and many critics and authors have commented upon his works. Sam Moskowitz, author of several tours into the history of science fiction and well noted for his patience, claimed Pangborn wrote in a "pedestrian pace" as "a leisurely Olaf Stapeldon with limited ambition." These comments appeared in Seekers of Tomorrow, one of Sam's productions, and are equivalent to ferocious attacks. If such opinions do exist there is a reason, and it ties in Pangborn's style. Science fiction is not typically examined as a possible stylistic achievement since most of its major contributions are notoriously preoccupied with plot and have characters who are merely manuevered in to fill the requirements of that plot. There are exceptions, such as the satirical havoc of George Alec Effinger, James Tiptree's inability to write sentences that correspond grammatically to what he is saying, or the wonderful poetry of Paul Anderson. However, the majority of science fiction appears overly scientific. Science fiction does recognize its tendency, to fall easily into categorical files, the giant pigeon-holes in the brains of most people. Two categories are usually acknowledged: hard, or scientific fiction; and soft fiction, which tends to spend more time on human aspects. Fantasy is a whole different thing and is exemplified by the "sword-and-sorcery" novel. Originally the word "fantasy" applied to all soft science fiction, and that is why Edgar Pangborn was first considered a fantasist. With the change in meaning, however, a few know exactly what type of writer he is. Good Neighbors and Other Strangers is a collection of ten short stories which are stylistically similar but which prey upon diffent elements in life, death, and anything before, during, or after the two. "Good Neighbors" is the first story involving the escape of a pet from an alien craft and the reactions of the United States to its harmless but tearful wanderings. The pet is large enought to cover Times Square, Herald Square, and the New York garment district. Running like a Japanese film with an intellectual snicker barely audible in the background, the story is told with the aura of ignorance and understatement characteristic of all the authpr's work.

If one musses the story's meaning, it becomes very difficult to go back and find it, for the door is often locked. The style begins to hint of Ray Bradbury, who has gained enough followers to be considered a mainstream author. Subsequently he is regarded as .trite, cute, or unscientific by science fiction readers. Here we see one * I in the story of ten-legged blue bugs inhabiting a local bar.

This'book itself is not original The stories and ideas are Pangborn's creations, yet they are not new. Good Neighbors and Other Strangers contains the story with which he first gained notice when it appeared in the June 1951 issue of Galaxy. The story is titled “Angel's Egg", dealing literally with the title's subject. Here we have an early example of the creature later elaborated by Robert Silverberg in Nightwings. Pangborn's handling is delicate to the extreme, rendering it inhuman. 'The Wrens in Grandpa's Whiskers", "Longtooth", "Maxwell's Monkey", and "Darius", are all devoid of the qualities which make a story worth reading. While the "Wogglebeast" is touching, -almost capable of producing an emotional response, it is unconvincing. Distant memories of Frank Baum's Woggle Bugs in the Marvelous Land of Ox are reawakened and instantly stomped upon, making the story a little sour. shows once again "Pickup for Olympus" titles. The story is about writing wit at rare Pangborn's a pickup truck asking directions to Olympus. The vehicle is driven by a horned man with cloven feet who complains that they keetf catching on the gas pedal. Even while reparing the pedal, the attendant does not notice the oddity of the occupants of the pickup for he is too busy admiring their truck to pay attention to them. It is a statement on materialism as well as on man's attention to the gods and greater forces, depicted in a manner that outdoes John Barth. If anyone is keeping count, that makes it nine stories down and one to go. Of the nine, most are decidedly below par and often worthless. The last story, however, is different. Nowhere is "science fiction" mentioned or implied. It is the best of the lot. Totally entertaining, 'The Ponsonby Case" is the tale of a man forced out of his apartment by a door slamming, and locking, when he gets out of his bath to answer a call that isn't even for him. The story's ending pictures Mr. Ponsoaby sitting naked in a cage at the zoo, reposing in a pile of hay belonging to an elephant. The story cannot easily be compared to another, because it actually seems to be something that Pangborn himself created, it appears very unlike him. Thera is good science fiction being produced, but none will flow from Pangborn. One wonders if Pangborn will ever be considered a science fiction author, and if, once being granted that title, he will ever write science fic^tipn. - particular 9:30 .m. - CAREERS IN ENGINEERING "People Are Important in the Industrial Engineer's Equations" "Industrial Engineering is the only branch of engineering that includes people explicitly as system components" Speaker: John Zahorjan, Fisher Price Toys November 9th at 3:00 p.m. flcheson Room 5 Refreshments - • Future meeting: • - flcheson Rm 5 - 3:00 p.m. December 7, 73 Opportunities in Nuclear Engineering and Frontiers in Aerospace Engineering.

I ' -““gMirw t»,«.H4iW . -v* - -K Surburbia by Bill Owen* (Straight Arrow Books, 1973, $5.95) This book is about my friends and the world I live in." This is the opening statement by Bill Owens in his book entitled Suburiba. It is a book about people, about us, the world we have created around us, our extensions. It exposes and verifies what we already know. Suburbia is more than a photographic reflection, for the people that were recorded wrote about themselves. This adds another dimension to the interpretation of the image and the total statement. You could say that the book is the total image, which would make it the entire statement. We learn how the people understand themselves in their created environment. One image has a couple sitting in their garage with their car, boat, two motorcycles, and a transistor radio. Accompanying the photograph are the words, "We ■ - if.* vf V* • One of the most thought-provoking images is a three- or four-year-old boy on a plastic three-wheeler cycle, cowboy boots and a toy rifle perched on his hip. Accompanying this image are words by his parents, "I don't feel that Richie playing with guns wilt have a negative effect on his personality (he already wants to be a policeman). His childhood gun-playing won't make him into a cop shooter. By playing with guns he learns to socialize with other children. I find the neighbors who are offened by Richie's gun, either the father hunts or their kids are the first to take Richie's gun away and go off and play with it." L ■ enjoy having these things." Hopefully these two extractions will give you a general feeling of what the book is about. It is important after experiencing the book to realize that Owens is penetrating beyond just a re-representation of what he saw and photographed. He is dealing with the morals and values of the people who live “out there." Throughout the flow of images and words (which create their own images), there is a feeling of individuality and independence, yet at the same time an interdependence upon each other. We are exposed to a Fourth of July block party, a Tupperware party, fund-raising party, and social gatherings. This adds up to a reassociation with the functions of city life. Another image depicts a couple sitting in front of a cut-out painting and saying this about themselves: "I find a sense of freedom in the suburbs. . You assume the mask of suburbia for outward appearance and yet no one really knows what you really do." This space is your and yours alone strech out your arms and breathe the fresh air. Is this the dream of the Suburfoian — Dweller? In short. Bill Owens gives us a directed view of the American Dream, as acted out by those fantastic people in Suburbia. The bookSuburbia can be seen as a symbol of a trend in the photographic medium: to photograph what is "out there" and expose it through the book form. What we see is Bill Owens' suburbia, what he saw and how he interpreted it. The images were edited, put into a sequence, and the words were taken out of context and presented in relationship to an image. We are left with one man's understanding of an experience. This must be kept in mind, for when viewing a body of work you are seeing themaker's experience and at the same time you are experiencing it through your own frame of reference. The eye sees, the mind records and interprets, and the camera records light. A well-known camera distributor stated in one of its ads, "How you express yourself depends upon your camera." How do you express yourself, how do you relate what you feel or perceive in your inner self to those around you? Man has striven to express himself from the early depths of time. A cave painter put color on his hand and left his mark / AM. We look at this now and know that he was. He had expressed himself. During the I850's, the masses were recording themselves and making an attempt to express their inner drives. One of these outlets was the photographic process. Also during this period, the "cate-de-visite" (a photograph mounted on a 4-by-2’/2-inch card and left as a calling card) became popular. As our cave painter left his mark, so would a caller leave his. In the 1860's the "cate-do-visites" were put into fancy bound albums, the forerunners of the present-day photo album. Throughout the last 130 years, image-makers have been expressing themselves. Their tools (cameras, etc.) have been what the technology and the image-maker's need at the time required of them The early photographers' difficulties were, immense compared to those of their contemporary counterparts. Tim O'Sullivan travelled the Colorado River in 1871 with the Wheeler Expedition. He made 300 negatives on an 11-by-14 inch view camera and processed them on location. Compare that to your handy-dandy 35 mm camera. The important question is whether the photographer is able to materialize what he sees and feels, his thought and ideas. Thoughts are not linear, they are forms. A visual image may be closer to the actual thought than a linear description of it. Think of the word car, now think of a cat do you sense a difference? A camera is only a tool which limits or expands the boundaries of your work. Your ability to express yourself depends not on your tools but upon your ability to recognize, decode, and understand what you see. It is not the camera that dictates what you express; it is yourself. — — Bob Muffoletto Friday, 9 November 1973 The Spectrum Page twenty one . . �guess Paxton is entitled to a little bit of indulgence.

I suppose people have so much money in their banks that they can waste; but you'd think they'd have enough sense to realize that all of us can't buy each new album that we hear about. Overall, the whole episode had me sick for a week. The very sight of the album jacket makes me turn on the TV and the fact that albums of this psuedo-pop music are produced and that students I go to school with get excited by them and almost get orgasms when they write the reviews is just more of all the bullshit going around, and I hope nobody else gives a shit about any of them. - — JeffBenton - — - - // — - Page twenty two The Spectrum Friday, 9 November 1973 . . On the Road Traffic (Island) j I learned to play basketball listening to Stevie Windwood on records. He's the greatest all-around player: I wanted to shoot jump shots like his lead guitar; his ability to rebound on organ was wildly exciting (Hendrix knew it); he passed for so many assists on bass; and backed it all up with a tight defence on his arrangements and songs. And best of all, he was always going to be young. Stevie was only sixteen when he made it to the pros on the Spencer Davis team. From the beginning it was clear he owed a debt to Ray Charles and Jim "Bad News" barnes, and he was fortunate to come up with Davis, who slowly brought him along to help him keep his head together, the way LA guarded Jerry West when he first came to the NBA. The quiet life quickly ended for Stevie when "Gimme Some Loving'" led the league in 1966, before the powerhouse Beatles regained a solid grip on first place. What team do you think the little kids will remember Wilt Chamberlain playing on? The Warriors? or perhaps the 76er$, maybe the Lakers? Even San Diego??? Well, what I'll remember are the two great championship clubs—the '67 76ers and the '72 Lakers. On the first he handed out assists as smooth as Stanley Clarke, on the second he earily beat out Keith Erickson for the rebounding title. Now how about Winwood—what team will he represent in the Hall of Fame? Spencer Davis? Traffic? Blind Faith? I'm sure the average cop on the beat would say Traffic, with perhaps a few nods for Blind Faith, leftover memories of that super team (just keep in mind that the year Chamberlain, Baylor and West played together they didn't win at all). Yeah, T raff ic all the way. Stevie formed Traffic in an expansion draft, and was able to sign his first two draft choices: Jim Capaldi, a real heavy, and Luke Jackson, whose size effectively filled up the middle on defense and drums; and Chris Wood, who everyone thought �* be f "R* But he wm ,in the mok, of Ear, really a disappointment. Chris has managed to stay with the team, but doesn't get so much playing time these days. Wally Jones pulled the same shit on Philadelphia, until everyone realized that he only got hot when the team was up by thirty points, or when the record was almost over and hecould chip in on the finales. When Traffic dissolved and Stevie joined Blind Faith, he knew his chance had some. He was finally playing with the big boys on the block, and his enthusiastic singing and playing were sparkling. Unfortunately, after, a successful exhibition season, a thief broke into their lacker room and stole the only copy of the official game plan. Disappointed and reluctant to start it all over again, the group broke up. Yet even without having played a regular season concert, their golden record in pre-season play will make them unforgettable. Stevie went into a short retirement and kept in shape by playing ifl the local schoolyards. He returned to re-form Traffic, full of new ideas and a larger team concept. He pulled a Branch Rickey when he signed Rebop as Jackie Robinson. Just recently he traded for David Hood on bass and Roger 'Mawkins oti drums. Roger's rk»t a Billy Cobham or a Julius Irving, but he is a good driver. The big change is the addition of Barry Beckett 'ilv good - ihr' ■ album have been heard before. Stevie dug playing them and just forgot that they're not new. They were racordrd on a barnstorming tour of Germany, and I even heard that the Harlem Globetrotters played a preliminary game before Xrafftcrbame on, and groups like Sha Na Na could sure pick up some at mid-court. The first' quarter was played very slowly (lethargic is how Marv Albert reviewed it) in low spark, and it looked like it would be a long evening. When the song ended and nobody appluaded, Stevies decided to concentrate on offense and picked up his guitar. The fans got excited when he hit a few jump shots and Hawkins set some fine picks on drums. The big play came when Stevie took a lead pass from Wood and dribbled the whole length of the court, switching hands and time and hanging in mid-air before he made a spinning dunk shot as the first'side ended. Stevie looked up and saw that most of the team had picked up his rhythm and followed him all the way down court, and frombis smile you knew that the second half would follow. Apparently the jump ball to start the second half was premature, Stevie was alone on the floor practicing his vocalchords while the rest of the team got high in the locker room. Stbvie was singing uninspired, but a series of give-and-goVfrottv Beckett warmed him up and his guitar shots were hitting from everywhere. Even Chris Wood Stayed out of foul trouble as Stevie gave the fans a real show. Everyone's 1 drugs hit them as the fourth quarter started and there were plenty of excellent plays. Stevie felt so secure with the lead that he let- some of the bench warmers get in and the game became much closer than expected. Capatdi hasn't been the same since he tore his achilles tendon, like Dick Barnett, and can't play drums anymore. He tried to carry the team to the final buzzer and very nearly lost the ball and kept calling on the rest of the team for help, while Stevie consistently hit from the outside. There was a slight anti-climax as many time-outs were called in the last two minutes without very much action, but the slowdown barely detracted from the generally fluid movement of the game. This is a good chance to hear Traffic at their current best. They've been around for a while and by the end of the season may be tired out. They certainly don't have the explosive offensp of the Celtics or the Mahavishnus, but Winwood is exciting them finishing higher than third place. The group is similar didn't know, Nate Thurmond is second in the league in getting laid, but that's a whole 'nother ball game, JeffBenton J CASAELYA Micro Lob: GESTALT AWARENESS ; 11:00p.m. $6.00 TONIGHT I 8:00 3S0 Elmwood A".

They're able to steal my attention long after the music has lost its sway. "It's not that the musicians are technically impoverished", cried Egbert, for with Lee Dorman (former bass player with Iron Butterfly) at the helm, thgy show admirable technical ability. Their improvisations, though with the exception of the pianist, go nowhere. The Beyond sound is strongly rhythm-oriented, with bass and guitar often used to accentuate the beat. Dorman, while responsible for all the song writing, gets by with as little lyrically as possible. The form of the pieces are linear in conception, given over to individual improvisation, (the epitome of this style in the pop music field being Cream). It's too bad that with the aforementioned exception of Reese Wynan's piano, no one is able to use that time , meaningfully. r In keeping with past tradition, lets now take a melodic stroll down side 2. "Starglow Energy" opens the side in lockjaw common time (there being little rhythmic -the irregularity throughout Ip) together with an absolutely callous disregard for dynamic shading, why shouldn't I be bored? "Distant Sun" opens with a bass ostinoto, again 4/4 time. This track is bit more inventive, with a in piano transition that was .’.. well, it was funky. Yes, fans, glorified funk. Guile Garcia, on tombalis, shines throught the vinyl, with this track in particular illuminating his gift. The lyrics which were audible struck me as blase. At least I can't fault them for what I feel to be the two most common pitfalls of pop lyricists self-indulgence and pretentiousness. The lead singer is seemingly in the twilight of a mediocre career. "Voyages of the Past Travelers," besides' being the lp‘s most intriguing number is also- the shortest at 1-30. The spoken introduction is modulated to art extremely low frequency, giving it a suitable eerie quality ‘(sounds like Alfred Hitchcock with a bad head cold). The organ, continuously weaving in and out, heightens the mood. Alas, though I couldn’t follow any logical progression in the piece, nor (my debt acknowledged to John Cage) any illogical progression. The best track, "Everything a Circle," is saved till last. It's intriguing that the title also mirrors in a broad sense, the Moslem concept of life. Surprised they're finally using both dynamics and rhythm to good effect. Additionally, the song is graced with a memorable melody to enhance it. The vocal effect is intriguing, with the backing vocals spliced in such a way as to sound fractionally behind the initial vocal track. It's a sad case of too little talent that doesn't justify the very grimy little hands. AND ANTIQUE JEWELRY - — " >•“ -ar-i 053BMMDOO A/&*JE 883-6786 TUE.-SAI / / *30-700/ 1C0TS! BOOTS!

In a letter to John A. Love, federal director of energy policy, released Tuesday, Swidler took issue with the reports, saying ‘The true impact of the Arab oil embargo is double this figure.” Swidler appealed for the national imposition of “extended daylight saving time and reduced highway speed limits,” saying the programs “will not prove sufficient to offset the existing and potential interruptions of oil from Arab states, but without them the shortages will be much worse.” — = | ■ [ is now OPEN!!!

Powerful Bowling Green, victors over Guelph 11-0 and 12-0 last weekend, will invade Holiday Twin Rinks for a two-game set. “It’s hard to figure out an angle,” said cautious Falcon coach Ron Mason. “We played two perfect games last weekend, and it looks like we can score goals. Now we’re going to see if we can do it against a little better competition. We haven’t had any problems yet, but I don’t think that Guelph was as good as they could have been. That’s probably one of the reasons for the large score,” Mason added. Age twenty six The Spectrum Friday, 9 November 1973 . . Mason admitted that all of the Bowling Green forwards showed well against Guelph. “Our scoring was pretty much spread out,” reported Mason. ‘Two of our lines looked particularly good. We had John Stewart centering for Rich Magai and Bruce Woodhouse, and Woodhouse got a hat trick the first night and Nagai the second night. (Bob) Dobek’s line also looked good. Dobck got five goals in two games.” Falcon defense shows ability Mason was satisfied with the play of the Falcon defense, previously thought to be a trouble spot in the Bowling Green pre-season outlook. “Our defense showed good ability, and 1 hope that it is an indication of things to 5L—. .Ji» '■'* <_ js .Jk ■ w. | ' SS9nP81Si*ifli SW ******* come,’* said Mason. “But you’re not going to play shutout hockey all season.

Ill definitely use two goalies in the weekend series, but I don’t know yet which two I’ll bring. I’m impressed with all of them,” affirmed Mason. The Bulls will nominate John Moore, who stopped thirteen of fourteen shots in the first period at Kent State last Friday, to stem the Falcon attack. Moore will be facing a Bowling Green squad which bested Ohio State 8-1 in the Central Collegiate Association playoffs last season. Ohio State conquered Buffalo 9-4 and 11-3 last year.

The result of Elliot Richardson and I resigning was a massive public outpouring that in effect caused President Nixon to release the tapes in his possession.” With those words, William Ruckelshaus explained why he was not sorry for refusing to fire Special Prosecutor Archibald Cox and quitting as assistant Attorney General even though the President agreed to surrender the tapes 48 hours later. “What 1 was asked was fundamentally wrong and 1 refused to do it,” he said. “Never in Congressional memory except perhaps for Cambodia has the public poured so many telegrams, letters and pleas into Washington as after Archie Cox was fired,” said Mr. Ruckelshaus. “Clearly, the President’s decision to release the tapes was literally forced by public opinion.” The events following his resignation have convinced Mr. Ruckelahaus that “when public outrage is expressed vociferously and effectively,” results immediately follow. “If the people speak loudly enough and with enough clarity, they can move the government,” he said. Asked whether the “tapes compromise” was a pretext to fire Mr. Cox for pursuing his investigation too vigorously, the former assistant Attorney General said: “We can speculate endlessly about the President’s motives. I suspect that like most human actions, his motives were mixed.” The President wanted to wrap up the tapes issue, Mr. Ruckelshaus said, “and if in the process Cox was fired, it wouldn’t displease him — - 7 would do same thing again by Doug Radi Staff Writer Spectrum “If people speak loudly enough, with enough clarity and conviction, they can move any branch of government,” said William Ruckelshaus Monday afternoon in a speech to the over 1000 University students who surrounded on the front steps of Norton Hall. Throughout his speech, the recently-fired assistant Attorney General stressed his faith in -the “strength and wisdom of the American people” and their ability to cause governmental policy changes. The massive reaction of the people to the firing of Special Prosecutor Archibald Cox and the subsequent resignations of General Elliot Attorney Richardson and himself “also gives us great confidence that the system does respond,” Mr. Ruckelshaus said. Clarifying the reasons for his departure from the Department of Justice two weeks ago, he explained that Mr. Richardson had agreed when confirmed by the Senate last spring to appoint a special prosecutor who would: 1) have the right to oppose any Presidential claims of “executive privilege;” 2) receive no interference from the Attorney General; and 3) be fired only for “gross improprieties.” Light, not heat When President Nixon asked Mr. Ruckelshaus to fire Mr. Cox, Mr. Ruckelshaus simultaneously resigned and was fired. “I would do the same again, because I believe the committment entered into by the Attorney General was binding not only on him but on me as his successor." Mr. Ruckelshaus began his speech with a disclaimer that he 9 would hot take any position concerning Mr. Nixon’s possible resignation or impeachment, due to his personal bias from his recent dispute with the Administration. “I don’t want to add heat” to the present crisis by talcing a personal stand,” he said, “but I would rather add light” by speaking more analytically on the causes of Watergate. Admitting there has been a loss of faith in the American system, Mr. Ruckelshaus said it started in the 1960’s with the Vietnam War and a “revolution bf expectations” which went unfulfilled and has grown with Getting the message Watergate. “The problems are “You have to look at it from great, but there is tremendous the President’s point of view. Here power that resides with the was a Special Prosecutor he people,” said, returning to his vigorously investigating all kinds theme. of charges, and it had to be a constant irritant to the White Get into politics During a twenty-minute session House. The President viewed Mr. in which he answered questions Cox as a highly partisan shouted out from the crowd, Mr. individual, so he had many Ruckelshaus expressed his reasons to want him out.” Mr. disagreement with Gordon Nixon will not be able to the new Special Strachan’s statement that young discharge people should stay out of politics; Prosecutor, Leon Jaworski, as “Gordon Strachan could not be easily as he fired Mr. Cox, Mr. any more wrong. People should Ruckelshaus believes. “First, the not get away from Washington, President has made an agreement not to fire Jaworski without consulting with and getting the but should get into Washington and make some changes.” approval of both houses of Congress. But most At this point he received his importantly, the President now fully realizes that the only spontaneous applause of the American people perceive the Special Prosecutor as day. He was successful at other investigating him and they don’t like the President times, however, in generating firing the man who’s investigating him. That message many bursts of laughter from the was brought home quite clearly two weeks ago.” Mr. Ruckelshaus carefully avoided comment on audience with his subtle sense of humor. Mr. Ruckelshaus whether he thought Mr. Nixon should resign or be summarized his past government impeached: ‘That issue will ultimately be decided positions, which included three by the American people.

Because the announcement was so belated, it was almost beyond belief, and this only fuels public mistrust of the President and the White House.*’ If they were not missing, he doesn’t know what had happened to them: “Maybe put through the paper shredder,” he joked. The President’s credibility has been severely damaged in recent weeks, the former assistant Attorney General believes, and can only be regained if Mr. Nixon takes certain actions. First, he should appoint “a truly independent prosecutor, independent of the executive branch if necessary.” Second, Mr. Ruckelshaus recommended “full disclosure by the White House of every single document regarding any of the investigations. This is the only chance for regaining credibility.” Demand replacement If Mr. Nixon acts to block the new Special Prosecutor from getting all the evidence, “the people will not accept it they will demand from Congress that the President be replaced.” Mr. Ruckelchaus added he did not think the groundswell for — ’ - .. —Schear impeachment until now was strong enough to force Congress to act. There was “no pressure” on former Attorney General Elliot Richardson to recommend leniency in the case of former Vice President Spiro Agnew, Mr. Ruckelshaus explained. “Mr. Richardson felt it was in the public interest for the Vice President to resign. When the investigation was peaking, all the favorable or not, commentaries and editorials whether they though Agnew was innocent or being persecuted, they all agreed let’s bring it to a head and get it over with.” Mr. Richardson noted that “with a weakened President, it was essential to have a Vice President capable of taking over. The specter of a Vice President sitting trial and being next in line, or.even inaugurated for the Presidency, made it in the overriding public interest that the charges against Agnew be resolved quickly,” Mr. — - —continued on page 2— �I Ruckelshaus Norton steps —continued from page 1— . . . Ruckelshaus continued. Acknowledging a “difference of opinion” within the Justice Department over whether or not Mr. Agnew should have gone to jail, he explained: “The other argument, of course, was the people would get the impression that if you rose to the Vice Presidency, you were immune from prosecution. If we hadn’t made the deal, the Vice President would not have resigned, and would have continued his campaign to discredit the Justice Department. Mr. Richardson’s sole consideration in making that difficult decision was: What was in the public interest? As long as my superior is asking himself that question, I’ll support his tough decision, even if we don’t agree.” Some people undoubtedly regard the Agnew deal as an example of privileged justice, Mr. Ruckelshaus conceded, while others understand the reasons behind the agreement. “One thing people arc overlooking is the real punishment visited on the Vice President. By pleading nolo contendrc to a felony charge, he went from one heartbeat away from the Presidency to a private citizen who resigned the Vice Presidency in utter disgrace,” he said. Asked if the Justice Department’s evidence against Mr. Agnew would not have sent most men to jail, Mr. Ruckelshaus said: “Yes, it would have.” Total disclosure of the case against Agnew was part of the deal, for “people would have said it’s a frame-up, he was drummed out of office, unless we laid before the American people all the evidence we had against Agnew.” Improper action Mr. Ruckelshaus said he “didn’t know” whether Mr. Nixon’s offer of the FBI directorship to Judge W. Matthew Byrne while the Pentagon Papers trial was going on was an attempt to influence that trial, but said; “It was clearly improper. Especially in such a visible and arguably political trial, no approach should have been made for any federal job while the trial was continuing.” He doesn’t think his old office has been demoralized as a result of the recent shake-up because “the Department of Justice is greater than any one member.” Acknowledging that the Justice Department has been gradually “politicized” for decades, the former assistant Attorney General said; “Mr. Richardson attempted to remove the politics from Justice, but you can never remove the politics completely, nor should you.” An elected President should impose “the will of the people” on the Justice Department, he explained: “For instance, the President should be able to tell Justice. I want more efforts into the area of organized crime.” long run, “institutions must prove themselves, not by rhetoric but by performance,” he said. Talked through Haig Explaining how his resignation came about, Mr. Ruckelshaus said Mr. Richardson had returned to their office after resigning when the phone rang. Presidential assistant Alexander Haig then told Ruckelshaus to fire Cox: “Your Commander-in-Chief is giving you an order.” Ruckelshaus refused and was fired as he was drawing up his letter of resignation. But the scenario describes something fundamentally wrong with Mr. Nixon’s handling of the matter, Mr. Ruckelshaus explained: “He wouldn’t sit down and discuss the matter with his own Attorney General. He could’ve said, T want to fire this guy Cox, what do you think?’ Instead, he didn’t talk to Richardson until 3:30 —continued from . . pag* 1— . if he were, “I dop’t believe that Congress or the American people would permit any Attorney General to carry on the cover-up.” “If the President tried to intervene and block the special prosecutor from carrying out his responsibility, I think Congress Unobjective observer Questioned about the would quickly proceed to carry constitutionality of a out its responsibility,” said Mr. Senate-appointed special Ruckelshaus, obviously alluding prosecutor to assume Mr. Cox’s to impeachment.

Although the statistical data for this year is not yet available. Director of the Campus Committee on the Recruitment and Promotion of Women, Hilda (Corner is confident that there has been improvement. However, she was “not yet convinced that the University has the ability to recognize the merits of a non-traditional background.” between Competition minorities and women is seen by many as a potential danger. “There is no doubt that the black movement has been subverted by the women’s movement, that the women’s movement has been preference in given higher education,” charged Ezra A.

Dr. Grantham feels minorities probably stand to lose out somewhat when hiring takes place out of an under-utilization pool. Most black Ph.D’s are employed and many women are not, he said. People tend to hire women, the largest under-utilized group, he charged. Dr. Grantham believed the problem of competition wil lessen as the size of the pools even out.

He perceived a lack of committment of the part of some committee members. ‘There should be more strongly committed feminists” he said: The committee will only make real progress when -its members have strong feminists ideals. Ms. Convissar has cited a lack of communication between die committee and other parts of the University. She accused people in and out of the committee of looking for ways to get around affirmative action hiring. “They’re treating the committee as less than a rubber stamp and more like a window dressing,” she said. Despite gloomy long-range predictions of minority faculty hiring in higher education, some still are confident about affirmative action. “This mechanism has done well as a first step,” said Ms. Norman. “This is a big change, and we’re just getting our feet wet.

But last November, some of the people at the Student Counseling Center decided to transform it into a much warmer place, where students, faculty or even campus visitors could share their feelings with others. Dr. Dorothy Adema, who supervises the activities of 67 S, believes “this is a place where it is okay to be yourself.” Unlike the regular Harriman counseling service, no appointments, commitments, or identification are necessary in Room 67 S. These are some of the reasons the new service was created, to cut down on the formality associated with visiting a counselor. There is also no waiting time involved here; room 67 S operates on a walk-in basis. A diverse group of individuals staff the room; from a freshman in engineering to a full professor in English. The room serves mainly as a drop-in center for the campus, and it is not necessary for a person to feel “deep-rooted anxiety” or have a specific problem in mind when they come. Dr. Adema said many people who utilize the servjce are “simply dealing with uncomfortable feelings.” “People may just feel lonely, or be upset about a letter they got recently, or may be uptight about grades and studies. We deal with everything. Even good feelings people may wish to share,” she added. Comfortable environment “I guess 1 believe anxiety is a part of growth,” Dr. Adema continued, “but there are times when anxiety gets so heavy that people can’t function and there are times when they need to talk to somebody, and we are here for those times.” A OF FILMS!!! Conference Theatre "SPECIAL MIDNITE SHOWINGS" Fri. First anniversary The staff, who are all volunteers, undergo little special training before they begin working in the room. Instead, staff meetings are held every Tuesday. At this time, the staff members work with each other as a group, and as Dr. Adema states “we learn experientially how to relate to other people. We never shut the door,” she continued, “and anyone can come and go as they please. We train by doing.” This month marks the first anniversary of the project, and during this time, almost 430 people have taken advantage of the services offered. Presently, the main concern of the staff is to involve more people. Dr. Adema believes the staff is utilizing the room to their own advantage, but she said: “We feel selfish not sharing the room with more people, and the room is here for everyone.” Room 67 S holds the same hours as the counseling center, although plans are underway to expand the hours of the room to more nights and possibly weekends. Presently however, the hours are as Monday: 10 a.m.-9 p.m., Tuesday; 10 a.m.-4 p.m. and 6 p.m.-9p.m., Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday; 10 a.m.-4 p.m. Thurs. & of Music TONIGHT! Wed.

The two main panelists were S.C. El-Behairy, professor of political science from Buffalo State College, supporting the Arab position and Robert Samberg, a pro-Israeli professor of political science from this University. “My opinion is that the conflicts of the past 25 years are the conflicts of two nationalisms,” said Dr. Samberg about his position. ‘There has been no peace in the Middle East because the Arabs still live with the dream they can destroy Israel. I believe in the right of the state of Israel to exist among eighteen Islamic states as a Jewish state.” “It is further my belief that the opportunist Soviet Union has fanned the fires of this conflict by providing the Arab nations with billions of dollars of weaponry,” Dr. Samberg said. “Israel desires peace, but the real problem is the unwillingness of the Arab states to give up their dream of destroying Israel,” he said. Dr. El-Behairy countered Dr. Samberg’s statements, asserting: “The Arabs have indicated they would like to negotiate with the Israelis, not destroy them.” It is acceptable for Israel to have her guns facing Egyptian cities, he said, but if Israel is concerned about their security, they should also be aware of Arab insecurity. Citing statistics used by former Israeli Premier Ben-Gurion on Jewish immigration and describing the historical development of Zionism, Dr. El-Behairy discussed what he called the “roots” of the problem. He concluded the three main problems facing the Middle were the problems of “refugees, borders and Jerusalem.” “I hope we can look ahead to the future, when there a viable will hopefully be East settlement, one not based on insecurity and subjugation,” he added. ‘The Jews have been in Palestine since 1900 B.C., and they have not driven the Arabs out,” said Dr. Samberg. He described the massive Arab emigration to Israel in this - century. The possibility of a bi-national state for Israel and the credibility of both Arab and Israeli rhetoric dominated the open discussion from the audience. Dr. Samberg dismissed the possibility of a bi-hational state, noting the U.N. had rejected such a proposal in 1947. “Israeli Arabs have fared a helluva lot better than Jews in Arab countries,” he said. Dr. El-Behairy allowed for the possibility of a bi-nationalist state. In addition, he personally does not believe there is anti-Jewish feeling among the Arabs. Several speakers believed the solution to the Middle East conflict lies in building of communism throughout the area. Dr. Samberg attacked them for blaming some of Israel’s present woes on “that Marxist shithead” David Ben-Gurion. Arab statements calling for the “genocide” of the Israeli people were read by several people. Some Arab students noted there were similar Israeli sentiments. The students read from a Newsweek article which quoted a Israeli radio broadcast as saying; “We will crush your bones and turn your days into night.” When Arab students challenged Samberg's solution to the conflict, he countered it would be in the best interests of the Egyptians to build up their own country and stop making war. Dr. Dr. El-Behairy contended that negotiations on the key issues were a must and the Palestinians and Israelis must settle their own problems. :na BSUdenies pressure tactics by Gary Cohn Contributing Editor Black Student Union (BSU) President Larry Williams denied allegations Monday that BSU pressured Rob Williams into resigning his post as Student Association (SA) Minority Affairs Coordinator. However, the BSU President acknowledged that Rob Williams had “failed to accomplish the goals and expectations” that BSU held for the SA Minority Affairs office. “Rob Williams tried to do what he thought was best for the Black students,” Larry Williams explained, but black disenchantment mounted as “BSU saw no results” from the SA coordinator. Expectations “Rob Williams made a number or committments which he could not live up to,” the BSU President added. He refused to say exactly what those committments were. However, one SA officer said Rob Williams had promised BSU $13,000 for a series of special events when he had only $7000 in his budget. Rob Williams was not available for comment According to the SA constitution, an election must now be held to fill the vacant Minority Affairs co-ordinator’s position. Larry Williams said BSU hoped to support a candidate for the post. He maintained BSU was eager to work with the Student Association through the Minority Affairs coordinator. The coordinator should serve as a liason between BSD and SA, and should attempt to improve communications between the black, Puerto Rican and Indian student organizations, Larry Williams explained. Turning to the problems facing black students, the BSU President charged the University with attempting to “drive the Black students from the University.” The University is “seeking to kill the Equal Opportunity Program,” he claimed. Genocide “Elimination or reduction of EOP would be financial genocide,” said Mr. Williams, “because a majority of the black students attend the University under the EOP program.” However, Richard Siggelkow, vice-president for Student Affairs, last week denied that the state was phasing out the EOP program, explaining that the State University of Buffalo awards the largest grants of all the state schools. Sharply denouncing what he termed the “stigma of BSU as a violent, racist organization,” Mr. Williams was hopeful of working with the SA to overcome the problems facing black students. “We’re not a bunch of radical black Panthers,” he said. However, Mr. Williams warned that “BSU would use any means available to prevent the black student from being driven from the campus.” 8 34-7455 MAZEL TOV! “The Most Complete Store of its Kind in Western New York AMHERST .NIVtBS’TY PlAZ* EXCLUSIVE-HELD OVER "One viewing Is not —Courier ” Shipments are arriving daily from Israel, including HAND EMBROIDERED LA TEST GIFTWARE-POSTERS JEWELR Y-BOOKS-RECORDS enough."

Instead, the high rate of prison recidivism demonstrates that our prisons simply incarcerate inmates in mind-numbing conditions, providing little or no vocational or educational training. When the embittered prisoner is released, he is no better equipped to get a job than when he entered jail; the unending cycle which led him to crime in the first place has not been broken. The new college for prison inmates just announced by the State University of New York is a welcome and innovative step toward breaking the crime/prison/crime cycle by enabling inmates to study for two-year degrees in liberal arts and sciences, as well as providing vocational training. SUNY should be applauded for this giant step which may at last alter the destructive pattern of prisons like Attica and return to prisons their original function: rehabilitation. IViS TAKING TOE WB OVERT© JUDGE SIRICA... IRK^ IuBJT fWD OF THE TAPES.. 'flUftM&I To the Editor "If the people speak loudly enough and with enough clarity, they can move the government." William Ruckelshaus at Monday's speech To all who are interested in the events connected with our proposed merger; on October 30, 1973, in a meeting chaired by Professor Thomas Kavanaugh, the graduates and undergrauduates of Is this quote as outmoded as the ancient populist slogan, "Power to the people"? Can plain, ordinary people actually influence big, grey, faceless institutions? The pessimist can certainly make a persuasive argument that common people can't dent the power structure. The power of the vote is becoming increasingly meaningless as voters are asked to choose between identical, mediocre candidates with pat, rhetorical answers to issues; they are thus robbed of any real choice. No one trusts politicians anymore; Watergate has fostered the cynical apathy of "they all do it." Three years ago students were leading nationwide protests against the Vietnam War; now, when they should be in the forefront of the drive for impeachment, today's college youth are busy studying, smoking dope and listening to stereos. The civil rights movement is dead. Social legislation is continually shelved or castrated while the overkill defense budget balloons by leaps and bounds. Government on every level has grown into an impersonal bureaucracy that is totally unresponsive to the needs of people; perhaps even uncontrollable by those who supposedly pull the strings of power. Surveillance has crept into our lives, eroded individual civil liberties, generated paranoia. The law has increasingly become a tool used by one class of society against another. In the face of these disturbing and seemingly irreversible trends, how can the individual citizen influence his own destiny, let alone government? But there are some encouraging signs. Groups of citizens, even formerly politically powerless minorities, have learned to organize, lobby, get their message across. For all the evils Watergate has exposed, in most other countries it would have been swept under the rug; here, in typical masochistic fashion, we insist on extracting the truth. The environmentalist lobby is no longer a political non entity. Every federal project must now be accompanied by a statement of its impact on the environment. John Gardner and Common Cause lead the citizen's lobbies, Ralph Nader and college PIRG's lead the consumer lobbies. Not much, but a start. The most effective lobby is "ordinary letters from ordinary people," Jack Anderson believes. The most graphic example by far was the avalanche of telegrams which bombarded Capitol Hill after Messrs. Cox, Richardson and Ruckelshaus were ousted. In less than 48 hours, this public what months of subpoenas and outcry achieved investigations could not: they forced President Nixon to surrender the tapes. If public outrage is sufficent, it may well force his impeachment or resignation. Certainly, such dramatic examples are more the exception than the rule, and barring public outcries, government bureaucrats more or less do what they want. But it is encouraging to know that the sound of a million voices speaking with one voice can occasionally move a mountain. Government bureaucracy is like an uncooperative machine; it doesn't give a damn about you, but if you kick it hard enough So which version is correct? Are people more powerless than ever against insensitive institutions, or is there some hope after all? We're not sure. The pessimistic version certainly seems stronger and more frightening. But we're stuck in this society for the rest of our days. We can accept things as they are. Or we can try to change it, and even if we fail miserably, we can say we tried. mls* 36^?

Dorothy A Rissel President, GSO of SIP Bus complaints To the Editor. On Monday afternoon T voluntarily subjected myself to visiting the Amherst campus. Upon arrival at Diefendorf Annex, I consulted the posted bus schedule and noted a bus would leave in five minutes. After fifteen minutes and no bus, I awaited a departure time of another ten minutes. That bus was five minutes late in arriving. The return trip was even better. Following a barrage of sarcastic remarks from the bus driver to a simple question by a fellow passenger, we left nearly on schedule. Soon after reaching the intersection of Maple and Millersport, we pulled off the road to await a new driver, because ours was to — be relieved. When the driven had switched, there was again a delay because the bus would not go into gear Finally, we were herded into another bus and were able to reach the Main Street campus in the record time of thirty-five minutes. I am told Mr. Dewey Bush is in charge of bus scheduling and relations with the bus company I wish to suggest that he re-evaluate his scheduling and his choice of companies. Meanwhile, Mr. Bush has been chosen as 1st runner up in the “Able to Successfully Induce Nervous Breakdowns in Students” category. But then again, how can a man compete with SARA!

Both an article in The Spectrum, and a week of Happy Hour specials have increased “attendance” at Happy Hour, and a helluva lot of people have left the room rather happy. However, there are some problems that deserve consideration. Waitresses in the Tiffin Room are paid sub-minimum wage. As such, the difference is to be made up in tips. Common practice, around the world, dear students, indicates that a 15% MINIMUM tip should be left following every order. Bar orders are traditionally higher, approaching the 20% level. At the present time, people are leaving tips averaging about 9%. Last Friday, a group of people left a tip of four dollars, on a bill approximately eighty dollars. This is approximately 5%, and is god-damned annoying. You should take into consideration that the waitresses who serve you are students, like yourselves, and are working their way through school. A 5% tip is not going to pay for tuition. fair. University. We . We’ll be only too happy to tell you our names.

We do not sit down in the kitchen and have a cigarette while you are waiting for your drinks. You see, we like to give good service, because sometimes, (and in -the future hopefully more often) good service is reflected in the size of the tip. Also, folks, we really understand that you are there to have a good time, especially on Friday nites (We’d be there toovif we weren’t working.)

I would like to publicly congratulate the Student Associations Speaker’s Bureau for bringing Lester Maddox to the UB campus. In bringing Maddox to Clark Hall, the bureau accomplished two very important functions. First, it protected the right of Mr. Maddox to express views which he believes in very firmly. No matter how popular or unpopular, he has the constitutional right of freedom of speech. The second function was rather ironic. In my opinion, Maddox’s trip to UB acted to strengthen the pro-integration point of view. After hearing Maddox speak, I would contend that unless one is against truthfulness, clean politics, apple pie and motherhood, there is very little controversy in what Maddox said. The question and answer session was a complete farce and if anything, it allowed enough time for Maddox to make a fool of himself. This man who campaigned for governor of Georgia as an avowed segregationist and who has repeatedly demonstrated his prejudiced views in the public eye, flatly denied that he was a racist.

Republicatioh of any matter herein without the express consent of the Editor-in-Chief is expressly forbidden. • Editorial policy is determined by the Editor-in-Chief Congress: people's voice To the Editor: The major problem that the people who support the impeachment of the President will face is evident from Rep. Thomas O’Neil Jr.’s statement in the October 29 issue of The Spectrum. O’Neil says, “I do not believe that the new prosecutor will be acceptable to the Congress and the American public . . .” If it is not acceptable to the American public, it should never be acceptable to the Congress. The statement implies that the prosecutor must meet the demands of both the public and the Congress. If the public supports an issue, an appointment, or an impeachment, the Congress should also support it, because the Congress is supposedly a voice of the people. Congress should have no free choice, no will of its own. Unfortunately, however, it does. For this reason, even if Nixon's impeachment if favored by a majority of the peop’e, the Congressmen may or choose to initiate impeachment may not proceedings, depending on their own individual beliefs. I feel that the time has come to remind the Congress that their opinions must reflect the voters’ opinions. In exercising impeachment powers, a Congressman must act according to the wishes of the people he represents, and not according to his personal wishes. A Congressman is better if he is a responsive follower than if he is a strong leader.

Mr. Kozol, who has written widely on free schools and education, won the 1967 National Book Award for Death at an Early Age. This essay is excerpted from Enemies of Revolution, which will be published in 1974. Mr. Kozol will be speaking in the Fillmore Room of Norton Union tomorrow night at 8 p.m. Sponsored by the Community Action Corps, Mr. Kozol will speak on “Free Schools and Politics "and “Racism in Public Schools. ” by Jonathan Kozol The Spectrum Special to Early last year, during an education conference the South, I had a startling conversation with Edgar Friedenberg. An author known to many of us during the 1960’s for books and essays'on the ghetto schools and the youth revolt, Friedenberg seemed to have arrived at a disheartening point of personal surrender. ‘The black struggle,” said Friedenberg, “is no longer a significant issue . .’’Today we are involved in . more sophisticated issues; “institutional questions, structural difficulties, the analysis and function of the educational apparatus in and of itself.” The civil rights struggle of the 1960’s, in Friedenberg’s view, “was a legitimate matter in its own time. It is, in this, a little like the moment of an infant’s parturition: it happens once. You deal with it once. Then you go on to something new.” Friedenberg’s words, his slick and anesthetic tone, above all, his willingness to relegate the issue of black people to the slag heap of outdated matters, is neither unfamiliar nor unprecedented in this decade. There is in public school an almost standard with sequence of the kind Friedenberg exemplifies. The idea takes hold in us that we have done A Real Thing by the ritual of petition and refusal; that we have thereby lived up to our dream, to our vocation, or to our mandate as good people, and now may go on to The Next Thing. The next thing may be our class play, a rock-concert, “Pep Club,” or summer in Vancouver; at the hip (and college) level, it is “a new bag” to be “into”; at the adult level, it is another research project, the discovery and definition of “a new oppressed minority, a new movement, a new ideological position, a New Thing To Try and Fail At. From this experience of non-stop locomotion, there emerges, I believe, the familiar and unsettling phenomenon that appears to many European observers of the U.S. Left as “Ideological Promiscuity,” movin’ on, as the folksong has it, from one moment of impotent advocacy to the next one. A friend of mine has suggested the following definition of a Fashionable Movement in the U.S.A. in 1965 or 1970: “Ask, try, plea, fail. Write an interesting pieces for The New York Review of Books on the subject of your failure. Go on to a new movement.” I don’t believe that this is totally unfair, but I think that in stating it in this way there is the chance that we can miss the real point. This is the notion that “to ask” and “to ask and fail” is first described to us in school, and then experienced by us in our adult lives, as the moral equivalent of Having Done a Real Thing. It is for certain, a low-cost way of telling Page eight. The Spectrum Wednesday, 7 November 1973 . ourselves that we are not bad people, and yet and still of obviating all deep, solemn, or risk-taking action. I think that school, the press and media go to some extremes to let us make this kind of substitution. School says to us: “You did a Real Thing. You had your class-discussion about race and ethics. Now go on to your next subject.” In the literary world, there is the same idea; “You did something by writing a book of protest. We did something by reading what you wrote. We went even further by giving you a good review. Now get on to the next issue . . .” In somewhat the same way, we hear ourselves or one another say;.“We had a Civil Rights Movement.” Theye is the hallucination almost that a human need was answered by the very idea, like a cloud up in the movement In a sense sky, of the "having” of perhaps it was : a need was answered: not the human need that it was supposed to be about, but our own need for a plausible activism. It is remarkable sometimes to observe with what success young people can be manipulated by the press and school and TV -to keep moving forward in this manner. It is even more remarkable that we are so easily of persuaded our own volition in this forward-motion. “We’re into a New Thing” I hear the high school students say. “We’re into Ecology,” or “into Women’s Liberation” or “into communes.” It isn’t that each of these items might not be a thing worth being “into,” but it is the idea that these students often have (a) that they are freely choosing for each thing that they go “into,” (b) that to be “into” something only for the length of time it takes to try and fail at it is of any real worth to other * human beings. The forward motion from one surrender to the next, within the present period, is characterized by a dizzying progression of “concerns,” each of which is tried, consumed and traded-in almost like' new clothing-fashions or new models of a TV: a civil ■ i II Jonatha rights, peace, ecology, pollution, women’s liberation, welfare rights, the pathos of the white and unrespected middle-class, the American Indian, the Mexican-Americans in the Southwest, Puerto Ricans in Manhattan, overworked pupils at upper-class prep schools in New England, and so forth and so on, with each cause imposing claims upon us in unceasing sequence, but always with shorter and still-shorter periods of concentration and of perseverance. Each of these movements is legitimate. The question is not the substance of each movement, but the character, of our forward ambulation. We move forward not from completion to completion, but from one incompletion to the next. The discovery by the intelligent wife of a Manhattan millionaire that she too is oppressed, first because she went to an oppressive prep school that was not like Summerhill, second because she is a woman and cannot go down to Wall Street like her husband, leads her to the final step of equating her oppression with that of the victim of the slum. The problem is not only that this is a vicious and dishonorable equation (her children are not bom brain-injured in unsterile delivery rooms; she is not starving; her children do not chew lead-infested paint; her sickness, cancer, epilepsy, heart-disease, does not go unexamined and untreated) but also that by such an equation neither form of oppression will ever be dealt with in a conscientious way. Each will produce literature, controversy, talk-shows, a New Thing to Be Unto, a Special Issue of Transaction or of the Partisan Review. Nobody who is now in pain will be in less pain when it is all over. “Purity of heart,” write Kierkegaard, “is to will one thing.” This is at least one thousand light-years �r on the tame subject. It gets the same kind of attention at the first one; it is handled and contained in just the same way. The same ritual takes place also among the people from whom I work within the Free Schools. There is a characteristic way in which some us learn not only to “consume acquire” and “possess” each book or fashion, innovation or idea, as it is published or put forward, but also to exploit the very sequence of these offerings in such a Way as to provide us with a constant pretext for the inward action of surrender and betrayal. There is a familiar process, for example, whereby each new book, each new name and each new fashion serves not as a strong and vigorous passage of rededication and regeneration of the sense of struggle with which we first began but rather as a justification for desertion of those things which we have undertaken. In such a way, the exercise of ideological consumption is tied to the parallel process of inevitable obsolescence. Each “New Thing” provides not only instant titillation, fodder for the talk-show and the magazines, and visiting lecturers for the university; it also provides a constant pretext for the act of ethical betrayal. We meet, Within Free Schools, extraordinary numbers of young people who seem to be able to take up, exploit, relish and reject new books, new notions and new allies almost with the same rapidity and ease as they would “take” or “drop” new college-courses. The types of serious, well-intending but inconstant men and women I now have in mind hip in appearance, radical in words, but desperately well-programmed in behavior discover each year the work of someone new and brilliant and remarkable and highly interesting, read it with relish, digest it with uninhibited appetite but then make use of this new ideological appropriation as a persuasive reason to move on from where they are to something new. They read Illich and they come back- and report to the mothers and the fathers of the children they have known that “school” as an effective concept is out-dated, square, archaic. They read John Holt and they report to the mothers and the fathers of their students you cannot “teach” formal skills in any case: so you should not waste time in even trying. They read Charles Silberman and they report to their co-workers that “joy” and “joylessness” are the only words we need to think about or use in our discussions and disputations. No need, then, to be troubled about books or math materials or Building Code. They read Black Power writings scrupulously selected, as I often find and they announce, in what they take to be the dialect of the slum, that “the white man” ought,.to go away and let “the black man” get himself ’‘together” and do hi* dwn “thing.” (They say this even in the midst of sessions taking place at strong, successful, integrated Free Schools.) The conclusion of all of this is to pack up their books, lock up their conscience, put away their dedications and their skills, go into the woods and build a whole new set of ideals and - — - distant from the kind of ambulatory dedication that encouraged by the schools and by the press and media. During the high school visits that I make from time to time, I often hear kids saying things like this: “We used to be into that race and consciousness bit ... We’re into a new bag this is year ...” There is a kind of hollowness, an empty ring, about the whole thing. It sounds less like an achieved serenity than like disguised surrender. It happens in very much the same way with, large numbers of We go on from 'movement to movement, thing to thing. 1 Each one of the things wedo may B« a good thing in itself, but “moving on’’ is not a good thing if it is a way of thinning us out, of spinning out our worth or squandering our capability for love and for vocation along a boardwalk of inadequate completions. We go along beside the games of chance, trying and losing, and moving on to try the next game. As at a boardwalk, there is much commotion, little industry, but few rewards. The obsessive character of this routine of endless navigation from one moment of uncompleted passion to the next is seen in almost every area of intellectual and moral aspiration. It is seen in our capability to take up, savor, relish and digest new movements, new ideas, new dedications, then to shift gears and leave behind those visions and those short-lived passions. It is seen as well in the disturbing way in which we learn to praise and purchase, honor and esteem new books on deep and solemn subjects every year, then neatly slot and channel them into the proper boxes for cold storage. season there is at least one memorable and Every disheartening example of this pattern of intellectual consumption. Two years later, there is another book — - ' n Kozol and reflection, into some of those things that I have done before and into some of those real-life needs that still exist right here in the South End. There is for each of us the need to learn and grow and grow, of course, in terms of our own consciousness of what “school" is about. There is, however, an even deeper need to find one solid core of concrete action and specific dedication in one neighborhood, or in one city, with just one group of allies and with one set of loyalties and with one deep dream of love and transformation. This it the kind of challenge that I know my wife and I will face within the years ahead. I walk in our neighborhood alone on many nights, and 1 wonder whether we will be here $till within this neighborhood or within this struggle, ten years hence. It is easier, in many ways, to drive to the airport and fly to Mexico City than it is to walk to Peter’s house two blocks away and sit and look straight in his father’s eyes. This is the struggle also of the Free School movement. It is the struggle, the whole youth movement in this nation at the present time. It is the struggle of those of us who have been- trained for twenty years to be nonstop consumers, and now must pause to teach ourselves how to be loyal to one thing that we believe in. Photo* by Kirttein — loyalties. The question, however, that we need to ask ourselves is this: What kinds of loyalties can be constructed on a groundwork of desertion? There is a black child that I know in Boston who has now gone through four generations of white teachers, organizers, drifters, VISTAS, O.E.O.-supported revolutionaries and what he calls, ‘The Hippie People,” all in the course of six years. Peter can list the names of all the young white men and young white women he has known. They give him supper and then buy him shoes and take him out on hikes and sit down on the floor and play with the Cuisenaire rods for one summer and one winter, and sometimes for one spring and for one summer once again. They they switch gears and they are into a New Thing. They cancel him out, or rather they do they cannot quite do that not “cancel” him but situate him rather in a slot of history or in a place of pain known as “the race and conscience bag.” They make new friends and read new books and find a whole new set of words, and they are off to a new — - dedication. Peter, however, does not live within the “race and conscience bag.” He lives on Columbus Avenue in the South End of Boston. He is a real person and, after they are gone, he is still here. nonstop The instinct for the forward-locomotion that I speak of here is something which is present in almost all men and all women I know. My wife and I know very well that we would not be so disturbed at shifting loyalties and transient dedications of this kind if we did not perceive the strongest impulses of this nature in our own lives. It is very, very tempting to keep moving onward. It is extremely hard to stay in one place and to follow through on one thing. I like very much to read the works of Ivan Illich. I like even more to talk and argue with him. I like most of all ,to travel to Cuernavaca and sit down upon a lovely terrace and have lunch with Illich, or else to walk out on the hill above the monastery and to stroll along that mountain road and talk of things that might be possible one day.

Thus, by better than 2 to 1, the public has come down against the President who just last Friday said he wanted another Special Watergate Prosecutor who would be part of the Justice Department. A majority of 58-21 per cent thought the President “was wrong to fire former Special Prosecutor Archibald Cox” last week and 55 per cent thought both former Attorney General Elliot Richardson and former Deputy Attorney General William Ruckelshaus were right to leave their offices in protest. Basically, the American people lay great store on what Judge Sirica will find in the 9 tapes President Nixon has agreed to turn over to him. By 56-21 per cent, Mr. Nixon was viewed as “doing the right thing” when he changed his mind and consented to hand over the tapes. However, by 56-30 per cent, most people also felt he agreed to turn over the tapes “only because he knew he would be impeached if he didn’t.” By 63-23 per cent, a solid majority feel that “if the tapes show he was involved in the Watergate cover-up, President Nixon should resign or be impeached.” But by an almost identical 64-23 per cent margin, the people also think “if the tapes show President Nixon was not involved in Watergate, then the country should join behind him in a show of national unity.” By a relatively narrow 41-32 per - ■ • *••••;• cent a plurality expressed disbelief of the statement that “Nixon would not have handed over the tapes unless he had altered or fixed them to eliminate all evidence damaging to himself.” After the hectic events of the past 10 days, the net shift in public opinion has been a gross feeling that Richard Nixon’s continued tenure in the White House rests squarely on proof or disproof of his involvement in Watergate or its cover-up. The number who think he “should resign if it is proven that he knew about the coverup” has risen from 50-39 per cent in late September to 55-33 per cent as of last Monday. Comparably, “if the U.S. Senate Watergate Committee decides that he was involved in the Watergate cover-up,” a 52-34 per cent majority thinks “Congress should impeach President Nixon,” up from 47-39 per cent who felt that way 5 weeks ago. Between October 26 and 29, a cross section of 1007 adults who had been previously interviewed in Harris Surveys were reinterviewed by telephone. They were asked: “Do you think the Watergate investigation should continue under the supervision of Henry Petersen of the Department of Justice, or should a new special prosecutor, freely independent of President Nixon, be appointed by the courts or by Congress?” New Watergate Prosecutor?

Ford to make his entire financial statement public. Mr. Ford’s net worth has been placed at approximately $275,000. President Nixon met Monday with his aides in Key Biscayne in a strategy session to discuss ebbing public confidence in him, energy proposals and the search for a Middle East peace. Spokesmen have maintained that Mr. Nixon has “absolutely no intention of resigning.” One source acknowledged that much of the weekend’s thinking concerned the leadership crisis that has prompted a rash of public suggestions that the President step down.

The hearings on his include confirmation will testimony from ten members of the House of Representatives, and from Roger Winter-Berger.

The nations announced that each would drop its production to 75% of September’s output, with a further 5% cut in December. The embargoes seem to be directed at the two nations deemed — the United States and Holland. However, the normal rate of supply will continue to those nations deemed friendly to the Arab states.

NATIONAL Brooke calls for Nixon’s resignation Senator Edward W. Brooke (R., Mass.), became the first Republican to openly call for President Nixon’s resignation Monday. Mr. Brooke said he had “reluctantly” come to the conclusion that the President should resign “in the interests of this nation” as Republicans and Democrats sought to assess the impact of a sharp decline in public support for Mr. Nixon, as measured by the Gallup Poll. A spokesman for the President said Monday that the President has “absolutely no intention of resigning.” Time magazine, in its first editorial in its 50 years of publication called on the President to resign. Senator Henry Jackson (D., Wash.) said Mr. Nixon should appear before the Senate Watergate investigating committee and “lay his cards on the table.” Y.

The government said Friday plans to ration heating oil and crude oil stocks are under White House consideration. Nelson was critical of both government and business policies on fuel. He said the United States wastes as much fuel as Japan, the world’s third biggest industrial power, consumes. “It’s not the consumer’s fault that only 10 per cent of the fuel burned by our automobiles ends up doing useful work,” he said. Call for 1974 Presidential election UPI NEW YORK Democratic Rep. Bella S. Abzug, in a move she said “removes a potential partisan charge” from the problem of presidential succession should President Nixon resign or be impeached, outlined plans for legislation that would provide for a special presidential election before 1976. Speaking at a news conference at her New York City office, Mrs. Abzug said she planned to introduce a bill in Congress next week that would call for a special election in November, 1974, when all of Congress and a third of the Senate is up for election. She cited as a precedent a statute written in 1792 which she said was recently discovered by a group of constitutional lawyers. The statute, drawn up by members of the Second Congress, provides for national elections in the event of simultaneous vacancies in the presidency and the vice presidency, Mrs. Abzug said. She also said that the Constitution provides that the speaker of the House assume the presidency only on a temporary basis, therefqftT requiring a special presidential election if the regularly scheduled / election is too far away. — — LOCAL Perla sentenced Carl A.

The cross-country Bulls closed their 1973 season Saturday with a thirteenth-place finish in the New York State championships at Fredonia. Buffalo scored 317 points in the sixteen-team race, well off the pace set by Colgate. The Red Raiders won the meet for the second straight year with 39 points. Dave Moller of Rochester was first across the Buffalo’s performance at Fredonia was only mildly disappointing, despite their low finish. The Good Scout, a report on New York collegiate track, picked Buffalo to finish fourteenth, but coach Jim McDonough was slightly more hopeful, commenting, “We should be able to do better than that.” Just prior to the race, he forecast a twelfth place finish for Buffalo, After the meet, McDonough observed, “I suppose we did as well as we could have.” None of the Buffalo runners ran especially well. As usual, Captain Bruce Tuttle led the Bulls with a 44th place finish in the field of 109. Buffalo finished with a 6-11 record for the year, and although McDonough is not happy with that mark, he has reasons to be optimistic. Only Tuttle will be graduating this year, and all but competition. “The pitchers were a Repeating the success of his first professional baseball season, ex-Buffalo shortstop Rick Albert batted .263 with six home runs and S7 RBI's to achieve selection as all-star shortstop in the Western Carolines League. Albert had been named as all-star shortstop while playing for the Braves’ Wytheville rookie league affiliate in 1972. “I had a fair to good year; it could have been better,” reported Albert. “I had a bad August. The bus rides every other day got to me, and the weather was very humid and hot. When it came to the end of the season, everybody was drained.” Albert said his season at Greenwood had been more difficult than his rookie year at Wytheville. “The weather was a big difference,” commented Albert. “In addition, there were longer bus trips, and we had to play every day. We had to play Sunday afternoon after a long bus trip Saturday night, and we didn’t have that last year.” lot better down there. It was a pitcher’s league, only one kid in the league hit .300. Last year, I was playing against a bunch of high schdbl kids. This year, it was more experienced players,” added Albert. Albert recalled his manager at ex-knuckleball Greenwood, pitcher Hoyt Wilhelm. “Playing for him was definitely an experience,” stated Albert. “It was his first year as a manager, and he had a lot to leam. He had been sitting in the bullpen for twenty years and didn’t have the experience of coaching third base or making managerial decisions. When it came to the ptiching angle, he was good. He knew how to handle pitchers, and he knew the right time to take them out,” said Albert. Albert will report to spring training at the Braves’ Florida camp next March in hopes of earning a promotion to Atlanta's Class A A farm team in Savannah, Georgia.

Mr. Maddox explained that the right ofhis free speech must not be “put on the shelf.” Less than one per cent of the student body lacked courtesy and respect in all of his other speaking engagements, he said. Without further interruptions, Mr. Maddox shared his personal background with the audience, from his childhood days selling peanuts on the streetcorners of Atlanta to his first term as Governor of Georgia. Even while his family was poor and underprivileged, he was still pround of “our great country.” ‘This is the most difficult and threatening time in the history of the Republic,” said Mr. Maddox, beginning his assault on the hypocricy and dishonesty of the American society and government. There is no “generation gap” as long as honesty and truth prevail, said Mr. Maddox, telling the audience not to “practice what my generation practices, instead of what it preaches.” you don't get much.' “who make corruption the usual thing in government.” He criticized the Vesco and Hughes deals, the ITT scandal and what he termed President Nixon’s “altered” tapes. Mr. Maddox had predicted the President would alter the tapes months before he agreed to release them. ‘The big shots ought to get it,” said Mr. Maddox, not the “little shots,” the hired Watergate burglars. He called for Mr. Nixon’s resignation for bringing “disgrace and shame to the highest office in the land.” Referring to his own further political ambitions, Mr. Maddox said: “I’d rather be successful than President.” In his closing remarks, the speaker challenged the “Now Generation” to be “real and honest.” He urged; “You have the power to make America stand or fall and I hope you’ll make it stand. The applause was polite but hardly enthusiastic. Elderly trouble-makers Mr. Maddox appeared certain the present governmental scandals have been caused by "self-serving, What chicken? In a radical change of protocol, Mr. Maddox invited self-seeking men in government.” While he felt there were more trouble-makers over the age of twenty-five than those with questions up to the microphone.

Circulation; 14,000 �Say Nixon knew tapes missing weeks ago Co-c-d SUNY to enroll inmates by Jacqui Schock Spectrum Staff Writer A new college for prison inmates is expected to be approved by the Trustees of the State University of New York (SUNY). The proposed college would be the first of its kind in the nation, announced SUNY Chancellor Ernest L. Boyer and Corrections Commissioner Peter Preiser. The program will enable both men and women inmates to enroll in full-time study for two-year associate degrees in liberal arts and science and Bedford Hills Correctional Facility in Westchester County. The men’s division of this facility has been closed for renovation sonce last April to prepare for the expected 200 student-inmates. Tomothy Healy, Vice Chancellor for Academic Affairs at the City University of New York, is taking a leave of absence to become co-chairman of a task force to plan the college. The task force will also study higher education programs at the 24 correctional facilities in the state. Serious business “This is an attempt to make serious the business of rehabilitation,” Dr. Boyer said. ‘The college will have a liberal arts curriculum because the prison system already has vocational programs. The problem is not so much to prepare inmates for jobs as to educate them in the broader sense and give them a better self-image,” he continued. He termed a correctional the proposal “a unique experiment facility which also serves as a separate campus.” “We believe the proposed programs will make it possible for more prisoners to move bake into society and lead productive lives,” said Dr. Boyer and Mr. Preisner in a moint statement. Existing but presently-unoccupied facilities at Bedford Hill would be used for the male inmates, while the females would receive instruction in an adjacent facility which they currently occupy. The male prisoners at Bedford Hills will be selected from among the 13,000 inmates confined at failities throughout the state, explained Edward El win, deputy commissioner for program services in - the Corrections Department and co-chairman of the task force. Fifty inmates at the women’s division of the Bedford Hills facility will be enrolled into the college, depending upon their qualifications, a spokesman announced. About 350 women are confined in the prison, the only one for women operated in the state. “People with college ability will be screened and then chosen,” a spokesman explained. Diploma required An inmate-student will be required to have a high school diploma or an equivalency certificate, which can be earned through the prison system’s educational program. “Classes for men and women will be separate at the beginning,” Dr. Boyer said, “with the professors going back and forth between the two facilities.” Prisoners who become students must have sentences ranging from at least one year to life. Students may enroll regardless of the offense for which they were convicted. Pending approval of the State Legislature, the additional costs of running the institution will be paid by SUNY, and maintenance will be handled by the Department of Correctional Services. The colleges will be the only tuition-free unit within the SUNY system. Students will be guaranteed the right to transfer their credits to other SUNY colleges pending their release from Bedford Hills. “The Bedford Hills campus would serve as a pilot program in a possible network of inmate educational facilities,” Mr. Preisner said. “We hope to develop a kind of master plan which will lead to a more rational and better-coordinated education program for inmates. Bedford Hills would be a key project in this education network,” he added. The decision to start the college apparently grew out of the studies undertaken to improve the prison system which followed the uprising at Attica in September 1971, in which 43 persons died. Plans for this new college will be submitted to the State Legislature for consideration during the 1974 session. Demands for President Nixon’s resignation or impeachment intensified over the weekend as 60 per cent of Americans in the latest Gallup poll expressed disapproval of Mr. Nixon’s conduct of the Presidency and Congressional Republicans were discussing ways of telling the President that he should resign. The White House said Friday President Nixon would make available to the federal courts a memorandum he made of his conversation with former White House counsel John W. Dean HI on April 15, 1973. This and another conversation were supposed to be contained in the tapes the President surrendered to Judge John J. Sirica, but are now missing. Presidential spokesman Gerald L. Warren said Nixon dictated recollections of the meeting shortly after the conversation took place and this record was still in existence. Warren said he did not know whether a similar memorandum was from the other missing tape conversation, a phone call to Mr. Mitchell made on June 30, 1972. Nixon knew five weeks ago Stephen Bull, a presidential special assistant, testified Mr. Nixon knew at least five weeks ago that two of the nine secret Watergate tapes which he agreed to surrender last week to the courts were missing. Mr. Bull also told the court that “perhaps two or three, perhaps more” other taped presidential conversations may be missing. The While House announced this past weekend it had “just discovered” the tapes were missing. As a result of the missing Dean tape, Government attorneys are planning to subpoena yet another White House tape. They are now seeking the tape which recorded the Oval Office conversations of June 4, 1973, a day on which Mr. Nixon spent about 10 hours listening to tapes of his meetings with Mr. Dean. They believe the June 4 tape may show whether or not Mr. Nixon listened that day to the disputed April 15 Dean the tape conversation tape which the President now says does not exist. Mr. Bull testified Friday that he thought the June 4 tape "quite possible” could have picked up what the President heard when he listened to all the tapes of his conversations with Mr. Dean that day. However, Watergate prosecutors said Friday the White House had not proved the two secret tapes never existed and they would conduct a complete examination to find out what happened. A lawyer for the - Monday, 5 Watergate Special Prosecuting force said the American people “expect and are entitled to" an explanation regarding the missing tapes. In order to answer questions about the missing tapes, the prosecution said it will call former White House Chief of Staff H.R. Haldeman, former Haldeman aide Larry Ligby, assistant Attorney General Henry L. Peterson, and Federal Aviation administrator Alexander P. Butterfield, the man who revealed July 16 existence of the President’s secret tapes. Machine ran out of tape Additionally, a Secret Service agent once in charge of President Nixon’s secret tape recordings testified Thursday he just doesn’t know whether the recording machine really ran out of tape last April 15 just before a crucial presidential conversation about Watergate. Another witness. White House archivist John C.Nesbeth, testified he made a rare revision of the President’s minute-by-minute diary for that date several months later on the urging of Mr. Nixon’s Watergate lawyers. Adding to the confusion surrounding the missing tapes was the fact that a box in which tapes of the April 14-15 weekend were stored, introduced into evidence, bore the notation ‘Tart I,” indicating it may once have been only part of a larger collection for that weekend. Raymond C. Zumwalt, a Secret Service custodian of the tapes, responded with a simple “no” when the Watergate Prosecutor asked if he knew whether Mr. Haldeman had been given the disputed tape. Fred Buzhardt, Presidential attorney, told reporters he couldn’t recall if Mr. Haldeman was given the tape to review. In a related development, Sen. Sam Ervin (D., N.C.) introduced a bill today that would give the US. District Court jurisdiction over his Senate Watergate-related tapes. Sen. Ervin’s bill would give Judge Sirica’s court jurisdiction over the tape. Through a parliamentary maneuver, Sen. Ervin arranged for the Senate to vote next week on the bill. Concerning Mr. Nixon’s nomination for special prosecutor (Leon Jawaroski), Sen. Ervin said he was a competent attorney, but he thinks “a lot of the members of Congress are not altogether happy with the selection. I don’t think you can give the special prosecutor independence as long as he is subject to the Justice Department and the White House,” he concluded. November 1973 The Spectrum Page three . . �Tauriello supports Opposes overhead transit, tough drugl supports State bond issue I'iorella Peter J. Fiorella is the Republican Party’s nominee for the office of State Senator of the 55th District in Buffalo. These are his positions: Abortion: Mr. Fiorella claimed he had no answer for the abortion question. He called the issue very controversial, but stated: “I am not in favor of repeal of the present law.” Mr. Fiorella, a Catholic, said he “would lean toward keeping the laws as they ®rc. __ »* _ Marijuana: The Republican feels that the present laws concerning pot are “too stringent,” and repeatedly emphasized his change in attitude. “At one time I didn’t feel that way, but I changed my attitude, and I credit the younger generation for that change.” He does not favor legalizing the drug, but did say: ‘There shouldn’t be a crime attached to the use of marijuana.” That attitude should go “hand in hand” with creating more “lenient” penalties for possession. Transportation Bond Issue: Mr. Fiorella favors the bond issue, even though he feels it has its “good and bad" points. “No one understands it... it is complex but it has more good than bad.” In a related issue, Mr. Fiorella said he does not support overhead transit in Buffalo, and quickly supported the transportation bond issue, while opposing .... overhead transit. Sales Tax: Calling Gov. Rockefeller an “astute businessman" who created a budget surplus in an election year, Mr. Fiorella said the surplus money should be used for education, or for the “tunnelling” of the proposed transit line in Buffalo. Mr. Fiorella mentioned that the Off-Track Betting Corporation will bring an additional S3 million into Erie County, and suggested the possibility of repealing the sales tax with “that kind" of revenue. The Republican is in favor of legalized gambling, and feels it will "come all over the state.” Responding to the argument that legalized gambling could result in severe loss of income for low-income families that tend to gamble, Mr. Fiorella said: “Gamblers are gamblers; they will gamble regardless of their income.” Education: Mr. Fiorella is not in favor of doubling tuition at public institutions of higher education. He does favor increased aid to the SUNY and CUNY systems. In regard to the Committee on Economic Development’s recommendation that tuition at public institutions should be doubled, Mr. Fiorella said; “CED is not anticipating the needs of the people. 1 could not have made it through school without loans, and they are becoming increasingly more difficult to obtain.” Student Lobbies; “I will listen to them as I listen to anyone else,” he said. “Students should not be pushed aside just because they are students. I changed my opinion on marijuana because of students; there is no u ison why that can’t happen again.” .ong feelings” Drug Law: Mr. Fiorella has about the law. “I don’t think that other programs have worked, and I don’t have the answer.” Mr. Fiorella recognized that a 21 or 22 year-old may be put in jail for life and feels this is unwarranted. “As a lawyer, I feel the law is unconstitutional because of cruel and unusual punishment, and the equal protection clause. We should give it a year to see if a pattern develops, and then look at it more intelligently. Then if necessary we can modify or repeal it.” Arming of Campus Security: There is “no need” for such a move, Mr. Fiorella said. “It is only for the self-protection of the campus police force. There are threats from students.” Penil System: The present penal system should be “revised and looked into,” Mr. Fiorella said. we “New York is lacking and lagging behind should modernize the penal system . . . Attica should not have arisen.” Mr. Fiorella opposes building additional institutions for the incarceration of convicted criminals; he advocates more progressive types of prison reform. no real carrot,” implying the bond is a carrot the Governor is dangling in front of the voters. ”1 am opposed to the way in which the proposition was handled, but if it is the only way to get mass transit for the Buffalo area, then I favor the plan.” Mr. Tauriello believes that mass transit was absolutely necessary for the Buffalo area. Student Lobbies; The Democrat said he would certainly sit down and listen to the student lobbies present in Albany, and if he agreed with them, would push their point of view in the State Senate. ‘The problem is there aren’t enough people in office listening to the people they’re supposed to represent. Students deserve more input into the system, and I for one, have learned a lot from students.” Penal System: Mr. Tauriello feels the entire penal system should be revamped, with emphasis on the rehabilitation aspects. “If a person is convicted by a jury of his peers, he should go to jail. However, we should train him to do something when he gets 9ut. The present vocational programs are totally inadequate.” Mr. Tauriello did not Joseph Tauri ello, a representative for the Eighth District of the Erie County Legislature, is the Democratic candidate for State Senator from the 55th District. Here are his stands on the issues: Abortion: If Gov. Rockefeller were to leave his post, and Lt. Gov. Malcolm Wilson were to take his place, Mr. Tauriello said he would support Mr. Wilson in repealing the present liberalized abortion law. He “doesn’t favor” the legislation as it now stands, citing “personal reasons” for adopting this stand. New Drug Law; It is too early to “pass judgement” on the new law, said Mr. Tauriello, but he is confident that the law “would be challenged.” ‘The guy they should hang” is the pusher, he said, not the person who simply has possession of a drug. Although one section of the law mandates a jail sentence for marijuana users convicted of possession, Mr. Tauriello maintained: “It’s a good law.” Tuition doubling; Mr. Tauriello was firmly opposed to the doubling of tuition at public institutions: “I don’t think students should have to pay more than they already do.” Transportation Bond Issue: “I think it’s another Rockefeller support the notion ...

This unit was created as a Amico, widely known for his new section of the department, hard-line position on narcotics offenders, is seeking another term in office in tomorrow’s election. Mr. Amico, who bagan his term of office on January 1, 1970, claims he has “highly professionalized the sheriffs office.” His campaign literature has characterized his first term in office as “the most progressive and productive in the history of the Erie County Sheriffs Department.” Mr. Amico is “quite proud of expecially of the his record 95% conviction rate which the department has obtained against drug peddlers.” Although many of the Sheriffs critics, including his Republican opponent Sam Giambrone, have accused him of arresting large numbers of young people bn petty drug charges, rather than the big suppliers, Mr. Amico maintained he is doing an “adequate” job in this area of law enforcement. ‘This accusation is absolutely untrue,” the Sheriff asserted. “My department has sought to arrest all drug peddlers, regardless of race, creed, nationality, or age. We have arrested many large suppliers, but it is sometimes necessary to apprehend smaller peddlers who will hopefully lead us to the major sources of drug traffic.” Sheriff Amico’s department is ' credited with making “64% of the 1,165 arrests for possession or sale of illicit drugs in Erie County in 1971.” It should be noted that this department is only one of 29 jaw enforcement units ih the'county. ... Narcotics Unit established To help the Sheriff carry out his campaign against illegal narcotic users and distributors, a 15-man Narcotics Task Force was and its manpower was not drawn from the ranks of the department, as many incorrectly believe. This unit has “helped the department to multiply efforts in narcotics investigations at least five times more than in the past,” said Mr. Amico. Another of the Sheriffs innovations is the “Narco-Van,” a 27-foot long mobile unit which circulates throughout the county for preventive and educational purposes. Various drug samples equipped with an extensive library of anti-drug films. Trained deputies deliver lectures on drug abuse and the public is invited to view the films and exhibits. Mr. Amico has also extended his efforts to areas outside of drug-related crime, and does not want the public to believe that narcotics investigation is his only area of concentration. The Sheriff established a special task force to combat crime in the county’s parks, which Mr. Amico claimed —continued on page 13— Samuel Giambrone is the Republican-Liberal candidate for Erie County Sheriff. Mr. Giambrone has been involved in police work since 1953, when he was appointed to the Buffalo Police Department. Since that time he has worked as a detective on the Narcotics Squad, served as a liaison between the Buffalo Police and the Federal Bureau of Investigation, and held the post of Under Sheriff for Erie County under his present Democratic opponent, Mike Amico. Mr. Giambrone is reputed to be a good law enforcement man and helped to coordinate activities within the Sheriffs office while he served there. Among his duties was the direction of a program designed to maintain surveillance on suspected radical elements within the county. This surveillance involved him in the politics of the State University of Buffalo, where he coordinated undercover infiltration of the “subversive” elements in the University. Overemphasizing drugs Since leaving the Sheriff’s office, Mr. Giambrone has been highly critical of the way that office has been run. He has accused Sheriff Amico of placing “far too much emphasis on drugs, while neglecting the other duties of the office.” He questioned the effectiveness of Mr. Amico’s highly touted war on drugs, characterizing it as an attempt to go after the “small-time user.” Mr. Giambrone equated the war on drugs with a “war on youth.” If elected, he indicated he would concentrate his drug control efforts on the big-time dealers and “go after the dealer before it [the drugs] hits the street.” The amount of effort being put into to shift priorities the drug campaign is “way out of proportion” with the other efforts of the Sheriffs office, he feels, and has “decreased the effectiveness of the office in prosecuting other offenses.” While the Sheriffs department was responsible for 65 per cent of all the drug arrests in Erie County, Mr. Giarobrone claimed it was responsible for only 12 per cent of the burglary arrests. Manpower poorly deployed Mr. Giambrone’s view of the role of the Sheriff differs drastically from that of the incumbent. Since many of the outlying areas of the county have no police force of their own, he feels the energy of the Sheriff’s office should be concentrated there. He advocates positioning 100 out of 176 deputies in these areas, having them serve as a full-time police force. The current deployment of manpower in the outlying regions is inadequate, said Mr. Giambrone, and leaves these districts without a police force. The policing of county roads is largely the job of the Sheriff's men, since there are only a few state troopers on patrol in Brie County. Mr. Giambrone claims that the current administration is not doing a sufficient job, noting that 19 people died in highway accidents in Erie County during August 1973. This was the highest fatality rate of any county in the state. He claims a federally-funded highway safety program known as “Fatal Accident Reduction Enforcement” was a “total failure” under Sheriff Amico. “During the three months that this program was in effect, the number of highway deaths was higher than the same period a year earlier,” the Republican candidate said. Sheriff Amico defended the program by saying “not a single fatal accident occurred in the areas that were covered as part of the program,” and blamed the lack of success on “inadequate funding.” Mr. Giatnbrone announced his [dans to emphasize highway safety and contrasted his strategy with Mr. Amico’s: “I intend to save lives, not ruin them.” The Erie County Sheriff is responsible for policing the entire county. Mr. Giambrone feels Buffalo and some of its suburbs (such as Amherst) have good police departments and do not need the Sheriffs aid. “The residents of these areas are entitled to adequate police protection when they travel to the extremes of the county,” he said, asserting he would take steps to see that they received such protection. Sheriffs deputies working in areas with their own police forces are “duplicating effort,” he maintained, and in certain cases, they confuse police functions rather than making them easier. Commentary Publicity-laden campaign denies actual choice by Linda Moskowitz and Michael O’Neill people, but rather are an effort to enforce The race for Erie County Sheriff, the law enforcement post in the county, is being contested by Democratic incumbent Michael Amico and Republican challenger Sam Giambrone. The man who holds that post is responsible for maintaining the jails, ensuring that a system of law enforcement functions properly throughout the county, and may assume control of any police unit that he feels can no longer function effectively. The office of far more than a figurehead; voters should bear this in mind when they go to the polls tomorrow. The election has received a good deal of publicity because of the reputation that Mr. Amico has earned as a “crime fighter.” Much of that reputation stems from the publicity-grabbing arrests mady by the Sheriff’s office in the last four years. Mr. Giambrone has found fault with the quality of these arrests, rather than the quantity. A large number of these arrests involve young people who possess small quantities of marijuana, the challenger maintains, and are ruining the lives without having any major effect on the crug problem in Erie County. Mr. Amico contends that his arrest are helping to remove drugs from the streets by making people think twice before using them. These .arrests are not aimed at young Re-ordered priorities Whatever Mr. Amico’s intentions, he has placed a large number of young people in jail without achieving any noticeable reduction in drug use. His reputation has been earned through the sheer quantity of his arrests. These arrests have not resulted in a marked decline in Erie County crime statistics, nor have they warranted the amount of publicity they have generated. The philosophy advanced by Mr. Giambrone would result in an emphasis on patrolling the outlying areas of the county where the Sheriff’s office is the only, police force available. It would seem logical that the city of Buffalo, with the highest ratio of policemen-to-residents, should be able to maintain the law without the assistance of the Sheriff’s office. As travel from the city to the surrounding areas increases, the need for an ever-present police unit becomes more obvious. Perhaps it is time for the priorities of County Sheriff’s office to be altered to suit the needs of the entire highest the law, Mr. Amico contends. county. Lack of alternatives The drug problem will remain with Erie County, regardless of how many arrests are made by any law enforcement agency. The need for enforcement of the drug laws is obvious, but that enforcement should be aimed at the major source of the problem, not applied indiscriminantly to small-time users. When the drug problem is turned into a matter of political expediency and attention-getting publicity, no one involved true issue is the lack of alternatives the public will be faced with tomorrow. No choice In spite of the minor differences between the candidates over methods of law enforcement, they are very similar people. Sam Giambrone has already served under Sheriff Amico’s administration in two top positions. These two men appear to represent the same ideology, a rather conservative one. The voters of Erie County can select which area of law inforcement should be concentrated on, but they are not being offered an opportunity to cast their vote for a progressive Sheriff’s Department. can really profit from the enforcement of those laws. But the tnte problem in this election is not even the issues themselves; at least not those issues which have been so superficially presented to the public by the candidates in this race. A shift from enforcement of drug laws to another area does not necessarily imply a progressive attitude towards law enforcement. The Monday, 5 Michael Amico and Sam Giambrone leave the public with no choice. Perhaps Mr. Amico is the better political campaigner, with his flair for publicity, and perhaps Sam Giambrone is to be commended for his reconsideration of the drug law enforcement policies. Yet is seems that both men have already had their chance. It is difficult to fully endorse either candidate in this race. Maybe Mr. Giambrone is worth a chance, because the least we can expect is no change, which is what we’ll get if Mike Amico wins. More important, however, is the public’s lack of alternatives in political choice, a state which is becoming more and more prevalent in American politics. November 1973 The Spectrum Page five . . �Commentary McFarland, Cosgrove vie for D.A position . Although quite sure he is the better man for the job. Republican candidate for District Attorney James McFarland is not as confident the electors will think so. Honesty is one of Mr. McFarland’s main concerns. With the “credibility of the Republican Party sinking fast,” he is trying to maintain “an image of honesty and integrity.” He would like to extend the Republican Party’s voice in the Eric County government, and is very open about it. Questioning his opponent’s promise to make a non-partisan choice of assistant D.A., Mr. McFarland said; “It would be taxing credulity to say the [D.A.’s] office would be totally non-partisan.” He hopes to include women and younger people in his appointments. Mr. McFarland reminded voters that he bucked his party once when he thought they were forfeiting principle for party interests. His was elected State Senator on the Independent line. Mr. McFarland was a co-sponsor of the much-criticized new drug laws. He also advocates capital punishment and views it as a deterrent to rape and murder. Plea bargaining is an important part of the judicial system, according to Sen. McFarland. Police can often over-iridict, and plea bargaining reduces charges, he said. When asked if he thought that plea bargaining pressured defendants into giving up their constitutional rights, Mr. McFarland said; “It is a problem, but it serves in the interest of justice.” He cites former Vice President Agnew as a classic case, explaining that through plea bargaining, a possible six-month trial was avoided. � ���� The District Attorney’s job should be non-political, according to Edward Cosgrove, Democratic candidate for the position. He feels political inclinations must not affect the handling of cases that arise. In appointing an assistant D.A., Mr. Cosgrove vowed to ignore political affiliations and concern himself “with the person most qualified for the job.” Mr. Cosgrove approved of the new drug laws, hoping they will focus on the arrest and conviction of hard drug pushers rather than those who are “just flirting with marijuana.” Police should show more discretion in arresting people, and should hand out tickets requiring appearance in court instead, suggested Mr. Cosgrove. He supports the principle of “innocent until proven guilty,” and would like to see it be accorded more widespread use. Mr. Cosgrove is opposed to plea bargaining, although he conceded instances where it is necessary. He referred to it as “giving up something to get something,” saying it can be an easy out for a bad lawyer. As D.A., he would limit the number of times plea bargaining can be used. ‘The case should be prepared well enough to get a conviction without resorting to that,” said Mr. v Cosgrove. . , Fuchsberg breaks tradition Mr. Fuchsberg’s candidacy is a marked break with tradition. He has never been a member of the judiciary, and threatens to infiltrate the closed circle of the Court of Appeals. His bid for election has come under considerable pressure from the traditional centers of judicial power in the state. Several of the state’s Bar Associations and many of the leading figures in the Judiciary have thrown their support to Judge Breitel;some have even questioned Mr. Fuchsberg’s qualifications for the job. Under normal circumstances this lack of support would be severely detrimental to the Democratic candidate’s campaign. But by undertaking an ambitious advertising campaign, Mr. Fuchsberg has succeeded in making himself and his positions known to the public. His ads, combined with the press coverage of the June primary, have overshadowed the efforts of Judge Breitel. Judge Breitel has always maintained that his experience as an associate justice on the Court of Appeals makes him more qualified than his opponent for the job. It appears Mr. Breitel has chosen to lay low and allow his campaign managers to do the job for him. O’Brian Hall.

To do so would be a grave injustice to Judge Breitel. The differences between the two men are not as simple as their campaign literature implies. The question of whether a “non-judge” should be allowed to become the Chief Justice in the state is a crucial one. To exclude Mr. Fuchsberg solely because he has never been a judge would be unfair. His experience in the field of law demonstrates that he has the background to act effectively. His promise to bring new and “badly needed” ideas to the Court of Appeals seems to be valid. His presence may serve as a catalyst f?>r long-overdue court reform in the state. Fuld and Breitel disagree Judge Breitel’s major claims to the office are his judicial experience and the tradition of accession through seniority. It would be difficult to find fault with Judge Breitel’s past record. He has proven himself to be a knowledgeable and effective judge. To vote for him in anticipation of a continuation of the progressive policies of Chief Justice Fuld, however, would be a mistake. Judges Fuld and Breitel have not always scon eye-toreye on the issue of civil rights. Judge Fuld has a long history qf civil rights advocacy. Mr. Breitel has not always been in agreement with Judge Fuld, having dissented on certain critical cases. Judge Breitel’s approach to court reform varies drastically from Mr. Fuchsbcrg’s. He advocates a program that would bring the courts under centralized jurisdiction. Mr. Fuchsberg puts the emphasis on each individual judge and wants to make them directly responsible for a set number of cases. If Judge Breitel is not elected, he will retain his position in the Court of Appeals, where his opinion will continue to be heard. Mr. Fuchsberg offers a new voice and a pledge of reform. His knowledge and famijiarity, combined with a fresh approach to judicial problems, should make him the better man for the job.

Despite widespread debate on the bond issue, many voters don’t know how to answer. And if the nearly one million blank votes cast in 1971 on a similar transportation bond issue are any indication, many may not respond again this year. The major thrusts of the proposal are the funding of essential capital investment programs for transit and commuter facilites and the financing of completion of critical highway projects. In addition, it also includes programs to provide bikeways and improve marine facilities. After voters rejected a $2.5 billion transit bond issue in 1971 by a nearly 2-1 margin, particular care was taken this year to assure “something for everyone.” A carefully low-keyed campaign for the bond issue has been run by Raymond T. Schuler, transportation commissioner, who has undoubtedly recalled the prime complaint of two years ago that too much money was spent on a high-pressure selling job. Fixed fares A big plus for the bond issue this year is the increasing concern over the energy crisis and environmental pollution. One of the provisions of the issue is the fixation of one-way transit and urban bus fares at 35 cents for the next two years throughout the state. The bus is more efficient than the private automobile in terms of passenger miles per gallon of fuel and produces only about one-tenth the pollution. Commuter railroad fares will also be stabilized at the July 1,1973 level through 1975. The bond issue will apportion $2.1 billion in state funds for public transportation capital improvements and $1.4 billion for highways, bikeways and acquisition of abandoned railroad right The following chart gives the breakdown in millions of dollars guaranteed in the Transportation Bond Bill. Upstate New York State Suburban Counties $ Highway 750 250 400 $ Transit Total 400 $ 1150 1100 1350 600 1000 in Metro NYC of ways, according to Commissioner Schuler. Expected additional Federal funds will boost the total capital program to $12.5 billion. “We don’t want to leave the impression the bond issue will serve only to relieve transportation deficiencies,” the Commissioner said. “We also plan to carry out recreational and beautification projects. We will build bike paths in programs co-ordinated with the State Office of Parks and Recreation and local groups.” Opposition to the transit bond issue has come from many sources. One of the most vocal groups has been the Citizens Public Expenditures Survey (CPES). The taxpayer group charges that too little information has been delivered concerning how the money will be spent. According to the New York State Department of Transportation (NYSDOT), any transportation projects carried out with bond proceeds must be a part of, or consistent with, the approved statewide Master Plan for Transportation. Projects must be submitted to the Legislature and receive specific legislative authorization. One alternative proposal to the Bond Act was to use an increased gas tax to fund the ghihway projects. Such a tax, according to the NYSDOT, would increase the price of gasoline by six cents a gallon. Questions have been raised as to why a new bond issue is needed if funds are still unused from the 1967 Transportation Bond Act. The few funds which remain are not “unused” according to the NYSDOT. They are committed to specific transit projects under development. NYSDOT’s only reply to questions about raising the state’s level of per capita debt, is that in comparison to other states, New York has one of the lowest levels of per capita debt. In the past however, New York has made substantial capital investments using bond financing. Money uncertain State Comptroller Arthur Levitt, while trying to remain neutral, also has some criticisms of Schuler's explanation of the bond proposal. “For example,” one member of Mr. Levitt’s staff explained, “he [Schuler] says over and over again that it is impossible to estimate with any acuracy how much federal money the bond issue will generate.” “Yet, Schuler says that $1.15 billion in state bond money for improvements to the New York City subways will bring in $920 million in federal money.” However, in a statement issued by Mr. Schuler, he assured the comptroller: “It is not our intent to use bond funds if we cannot obtain the matching federal aid. The bonds would remain as paper on the shelf until such time as federal aid is available.” Labor, which stands to gain millions of man-days of work from any large building program, has come out strongly in favor of the plan. The state’s largest labor organization, the more than two million member state AFL-CIO, was an early supporter. In recent days, the Civil Service Employees Association has also backed the plan. But the final fate of Proposition Number One, the 1973 Transportation Captial Facilities Bond Act, will be decided at the polls tomorrow by the nearly ten million registered New York State voters. riwk A NO°t Buffalo'^ ion ; enter\ Progress or disaster with ConventionCenter Buffalo voters will decide tomorrow whether or not a $14 million convention center should be built downtown. The proposed convention center, which has generated widespread controversy, has found support among various Buffalo politicians. Democratic Mayor Stanley Makowski and Republican challenger Stewart Levy both favor building the center. Mayor Makowski believes the center will produce additional revenues for the Board of Education and street repairs, as well as for other city functions. Lower costs Mr. Levy favors tHe center, but claims he can reduce its projected cost from $14 million to $9 million by moving it to a site three blocks away. In the race for University District Councilman, the candidates arc split on the issue. Incumbent Republican Charles Volkert agrees with Mr. Levy’s position that the Convention Center should be built on the alternate site. The center will help develop businesses in the city, create jobs and bring more money into the area, Mr. Volkert believes. Democratic challenger Bill Price opposes the center, rejecting the $2.5 million required to purchase the land as too high. He said the center will benefit only downtown business interests at the expense of the neighborhoods, which he claims were not adequately consulted on the issue. Congressman Jack Kemp, Republican from Hamburg, has endorsed the center as “an important investment in our community’s future.” Like other supporters, Mr. Kemp says the center is needed to make Buffalo “ready for the I980’s.” Opponents of the center say the $14 million estimate is unrealistic. They point to the recently-completed center in Niagara Falls which was expected to cost $4.5 million, but eventually cost $40 million. The city of Buffalo is also only $40 miljion short of the state-imposed debt limit, opponents argue, and if the center faces a cost over run, most of the city’s borrowing capacity will be used to finance the center. Since Niagara Falls, which is currently undergoing much rebuilding, already has a new convention center, opponents say the competition between the already-cmpleted Niagara Falls center and the proposed Buffalo center would cut revenues. Advocates of the center point to the convention center recently built in Seattle to help spark that city’s economy after cuts in aerospace development led to massive cutbacks at the local Boeing plants.

P!?ize for OTRliAUSM Campaign of fear Republican Charles Volkert's campaign for University District Councilman has degenerated into scare tactics and misrepresentation. As a result of The Spectrum's editorial endorsement of Democrat Bill Price as the superior candidate for Councilman, a white sheet is now circulating: "Student Radicals Back Opponent Price." The Spectrum. "an ultra-liberal student newspaper," it says, has "revealed Price's sell-out to the student activists in several recent editorials." Quoting phrases out-of-oontext to the point of distortion, citing labeled commentaries as "fact," the sheet tries to portray Mr. Price as aligning himself with "student radicals" to take over the district. Ironically, this newspaper's editorial support of Mr. Price did not describe him as a student-oriented radical, although he is sensitive to the University's problems, but noted his creative solutions to community problems. It is truly regrettable that Mr. Volkert has demeaned himself and his campaign by dredging up old fears of student riots and attempting to exploit both University and community emotions. As in 1971 when he accused his opponent of being for busing," Mr. Volkert has ignored the issues and instead tried to appeal to people's basest fears and instincts. We believe all the voters, not just students, should elect Mr. Price tomorrow on his stands on the issues. Mr. Volkert's last-minute scare tactics should only reinforce that conclusion. mejR SA1P- �61(3 Pbal: BOOK AMfcP R2R R CVOV.

Inability to govern slowly but surely Subtly . the entire focus of the ongoing crisis of leadership in this country has changed. Throughout the months of hearings, investigations, and disclosures, the central question has been: "What did President Nixon know, and when did he know it?" But the depth and magnitude of Mr. Nixon's involvement in the scandalous activities of his Administration is no longer the central question ... and it is fast becoming irrelevant. Instead, the problem has evolved into a crisis of confidence; a situation where nothing the Chief Executive says is believed. The issue is no longfTIWT. TtftSSh's guilt, it is his inability to govern. The result of that inability is that the federal government has grinded to a complete standstill. This is not only evident on the home front, where the Justice Department has been ruined, the FBI, CIA and IRS politicized and demoralized; but poor judgement has created difficulties in foreign affairs as well. As a result of the U.S. overreaction to the supposed Soviet Mideast threat with a worldwide nuclear alert, our European allies are now seriously mistrustful toward us, since we did not bother to inform them of our plans. And if the Mideast confrontation did not adequately explode the myth of detente, the recent references to impeachment possibilites in the controlled Soviet press, which had conspicuously avoided mentioning Watergate until recently, clearly indicates the top Soviet leadership is hedging its bets on Mr. Nixon. In a sense, Watergate has turned into a circus of moves and counter-moves, of desperate political gambits, but the public's moral sensibilities have been so shellacked, any shred of Mr. Nixon's credibility has so completely evaporated, that the political strategies have degenerated into a theater of the absurd. People still take note of each new disclosure, each new outrage, but only in the vague sense of keeping score, for any real meaning has long since vanished. It is so typically American instead of purging the government of these scandalous injustices, we have turned it into a TV show. And while the orgy of recriminations continues, no constructive purpose is being served because the issue is no longer Richard Nixon's guilt but his total incapacity to govern effectively. It is for this reason alone that he should be removed from office. The tragedy has emphasized the shortcomings of our system of government. Impeachment, the Constitutionally-designed remedy for misconduct in office, is regarded with awe and apprehension. In stark contrast, a parliamentary system like the British one provides for the swift removal of a chief executive in whom the people and the legislature have lost all trust; a simple vote of no confidence. Under such a system, not only would Mr. Nixon have been voted out of office long ago, but President Johnson could have been prevented from unilaterally continuing the Vietnam War when public and Congressional opinion turned against that senseless conflict. Even in a totalitarian state, Mr. Nixon's ouster would have been engineered much earlier. Only in our unque but cumbersome system can a President remain in office who no longer enjoys the people's trust or confidence. This is the situation today; although 60% of the people think Mr. Nixon has mishandled the Presidency and 33% feel he should he be impeached not to mention his credibility rating of zero remains in office. Fear of impeachment has been replaced by an even greater fear of continuing government chaos. Not only The New York Times but several conservative Midwestern newspapers have called on Mr. Nixon to resign. Washington politicians are privately hoping he will resign when Gerald Ford is confirmed as Vice-President. Republican Congressmen are even discussing how to tell Mr. Nixon he should step down. But the Nixonian psychology of “toughing it out," even at the cost unless of ripping the country apart, makes resignation unlikely impeachment proceedings begin or Mr. Nixon realizes that his impeachment is inevitable. All the time, energy and money behind the network of Watergate investigations is being misdirected, as the issue of Mr. Nixon's guilt or innocence became tangential long ago. Congress and the public must now face the consequences of Mr. Nixon remaining in office a complete lack of moral and political leadership. Mr. Nixon and only the has been forced into every concession he has made remedy of impeachment can either force his resignation or force him from office. SI iSwOHL HV Pabllahara-IUll Syndic.l» ...

The Spectrum Monday, 5 November 1973 . - — - - - - Labor parti/ stance The Spectrum i Oct. 29 coverage of the Buffalo mayoral campaign is the kind of Watergate-style cover-up job one expects from the Buffalo Evening News or the New York Times To portray . Republican joke candidate Stewart Levy as a serious opponent to Makowski is to deliberately obscure the point of why Makowski has had to run a “low-key non-campaign.” Makowski does not campaign because his only significant opposition, the U.S. Labor Party campaign of Ira Liebowitz, threatens to expose him should he ever dare to step out in front of a working class audience. In both Buffalo and New York City, Labor Party campaigns have wrecked Rockefeller's plan to keep the elections cool and uncontested by imposing Makowski and Abe Beame as “unity” candidates, the faceless administrators of austerity bridging all capitalist factions. The Labor Party’s bold organizing initiative interventions into Common Council meetings, public confrontations with Makowski, and militant marches through ghetto and working class neighborhoods (all of which went unreported by the “objective” Spectrum ), have successfully stirred up ferment around the real campaign issues. — - These issues include Rockefeller’s latest moves to take over the city government through an expanding network of domestic CIA counterinsurgency operations. The recent installment of an admitted Army Counterintelligence operative, Captain William GwizdOwski, as head of the Union-busting Gestapo-like “no-show job” Probe, confirmed our charge that Makowski is a mere stand-in while Rocky and his agents in the government intelligence apparatus consolidate their control. Engineered over a period of years by the “former” CIA agent Aifreda Slominski, the Probe is a capitalist scheme for spreading a turn-in-your-neighbor self-policing psychology among Buffalo’s working population. Makowski implements the other half of Rocky’s anti-labor onslaught. It is a notorious scandal in Buffalo that 1,000 welfare victims arc being forced to, work at city jobs to replace attrited unionized workers at below-union pay and that they are used as scabs in the steel, auto, and other private industries as well Add to this Makowski’s acting as Rocky’s mouthpiece in pushing the transit and convention center bond boondoggles, looting working class taxpayers of billions of dollars in debt payments to the banks (at least $4 billion in interest will be paid on the transit bond alone!) and who can doubt that Makowski is Rockefeller’s puppet? s The most blatant gap in The Spectrum “Watergate electoral coverage is its cover-up of the in Buffalo mayoral cam organizer Do Party’s expo Rockefeller s Party poli< indictments charges of “j i To the Editor possession c ■“Communists an employ ci Commission | — our day-glo announcement of our next exciting selection).

The center could be constructed at a site already owned by the city, near to the proposed location, at a considerable reduction in cost. Additionally, the Buffalo convention center would have to compete for business with the successful Niagara Falls convention center. Buffalo has only to borrow $40 million more before it exceeds the state imposed debt limit. Should this money be spent on a facility that would primarily serve business interests? C.A.C. feels that the city’s priorities should rather be in the areas of education, low cost housing, pollution, parks and other human needs. With this in mind, we urge all Buffalo voters to vote NO on the Convention Center Bond Issue, Local Issue I. To the Editor. On November 6, 1973, Buffalo city voters will have the opportunity to vote upon a Convention Center Bond Issue. According to those who urge its passage, the proposed convention center will cost only $14 million, create 1,000 permanent jobs and provide needed revenue for the city’s coffers. Community Action Corps believes that this is not an accurate representation of the issue. As noted, the proposed center is estimated to cost $14 million. However, there is no ceiling on the money to be spent on the project. In other words, inflation and externalities may bring the cost of construction far above that figure. For example, the WHO SAVS voo our WW 'EM AUf RB3PP6t7 REAR Niagara Falls Convention Center was estimated to cost $4.5 million; the eventual cost was $40 million.

I would like to make a few comments on the appearance of Lester Maddox Thursday night. In his presentation, Maddox used a familiar technique employed by individuals speaking before a basically unsympathetic audience. This was to turn the whole affair into a carnival to express his views in a series of “jokes” with the aaim of getting his listeners off their guard, and making otherwise repugnant positions seem more palatable to them. An example of this was his response to a question about the “ax-handle” incident, in which he replied that he had used pick-ax handles rather than ax-handles, since “ax-handles are too light and you can’t get nothin’ done with ’em.” The audience roared with laughter, apparently not bothering to visualize the a rabid mob of white content of this statement racists using pick-ax handles to beat up a group of I would also like to comment on the performance of the so-called “left” on this campus, which was nothing short of pathetic Some of these groups did not even bother to show up, at a situation in which over a thousand people were listening to Hitlerite ideas. Those that did show up confined their activities to shouting comments, or holding up banners denouncing racism. No one from these groups got up during the question period to present a principled criticism of the views that Maddox was espousing. In the absence of this, Maddox was able to easily manipulate the questions of smart-alecks. Jesus freaks, and middle class housewives to his own advantage, so that he was never called to account for what he had said. — - Bob Giuffrida — the frame-up of the Labor Party mayoral candidate, Ira Liebowitz, and Labor Party organizer Donald Roth. At the height of the Labor Party’s exposure of the CIA activities in Buffalo, Rockefeller sought the aid of helpful “Communist” Party police informers in securing 13-count indictments against Liebowitz and Roth, including charges of “inciting to riot,” felonious assault, and possession of dangerous weapons. One of the “Communists” pressing charges is Donald Sullivan, an employee of Makowski’s Human Relations Commission planted in the CP! Nationwide battle lines are being drawn between the socialist organizing of the Labor Party on the one hand and the capitalist-CIA enforcers of depression austerity on the other. The Labor Party is building a working class machine to defend workers’ living standards beyond the present elections and to establish a socialist government in the 1970’s. We urge all students and faculty to get out and vote for the Labor Party candidates, Ira Liebowitz for Mayor »”d Philip Valenti for Councilman-at Large, to vote “no” on the transit bond and vote “no” on the convention center. If your are registered to vote in New York City, cast your ballot for the Chaitkin-Johnson-Washington Labor Party ticket. behavior of his audience. Perhaps Maddox felt that he was entitled to throw a paper rocket at his audience because he is “controversial.” Maddox, before entertaining a question, found it necessary to shake hands with each person who addressed him. If this game failed to intimidate the adversary, Maddox then wasted time giving instructions concerning proper use of the microphone.

Monday, 5 November 1973 The Spectrum Page nine . . •— �The Max Lerner Column by Max Lemer Americans are now thinking the unthinkable. That is the psychological breakthrough experienced in recent days and weeks. Impeachment was for a long time only an outside possibility. It has now become a probability. It may well soon reach the point where it is all but irreversible. That point will be reached not when the House Judiciary Committee releases its impeachment report, but when most of the American people grow convinced that nothing President Nixon can say or do will ever put together the Humpty Dumpty pieces in which his credibility now lies shattered. How did this happen? It was long in preparing, but the denouement came swiftly. The firing of Archibald Cox, the framing and abandonment of the scheme centering on Sen. John Stennis, the backtracking on whether to surrender the tapes to the courts, the shift on appointing another special prosecutor, the angry Nixon attacks on the media, the leaking of the story of Mr. Nixon’s pressures in the ITT case, the revelation that two crucial Nixon tapes had not been “recorded”: These items have added up mightily in the public mind. What may happen soon, if it has not happened already, is that most people, their capacity for belief stretched beyond tolerance by the battering of unbelievable events, will fall into utter disbelief. This will spell the start of the irreversible Volkert defended To the Editor. To say the least, I was somewhat dismayed to read your editorial endorsement of William Price for University District Councilman in today’s The Specturm. Particularly disturbing was your citing of thee Buffalo Evening News in a context which would indicate that paper’s lack of support for incumbent Councilman Charles A. Volkert. As you must know, but have neglected to tell your readers, the News last week endorsed Mr. Volkert’s bid for re-election. Your omission of that information is misleading and can only be labelled irresponsible. in your editorial, Mr. Volkert is cast as a villain for having spoken in favor of the housing ordinance in March, T972. But should he really be so severely castigated for having spoken that way in the wake of the student riots of the late sixties and early seventies, at a time when the town-gown rift was far more acute than it is today? His stand of tha issue hhas after all, softened since, and he is genuinely concerned about the students who are now being exploited by absentee landlords. As for terming Mr. Volkert’s record for the past process. How it will end is another question. The managers of the anti-Nixon case in the House will have to find something other, and more, than the firing of Cox as proof of Mr. Nixon’s “high crimes and misdemeanors.” While politically tricky and morally indefensible, it was probably within the President’s constitutional powers. Instead, the anti-Nixon managers are likely to pile up a roster of charges, such as the leaked story about Mr. Nixon, former Atty. Gen. Richard G. Kleindienst and ITT. If there are enough of them, their combined weight may more than counterbalance the reluctance to plunge the nation into an impeachment struggle. Meanwhile, the digging continues, and some single flashing charge may emerge to make all the rest coalesce into a total unified case. On the President’s side there will be five influences working against the thrust of events 1 have described. To use abbreviations for each, they are forgetting, Ford, foreign policy, media and divisiveness. -On forgetting: There is the recognized fact that just as public thinking has a capacity to get inflamed by a roster of outrages, so it has the capacity to forget to go blank by too much of it and fall into a kind of numbness and cynicism. There have been widespread signs of this the conviction that all cynicism earlier which showed up as a are corrupt, politicians defense of Agnew. It may work to Mr. Nixon’s — - advantage. The recent editorial endorsement of William Price for University District Councilman can only be characterized as a masterpiece of mendacity and an indication of the bad faith which has distinguished Howie Kurtz’ regime as editor. To begin with, Kurtz’ savagely irrational indictment of incumbent Councilman Volkert totally fails to note that 1) the Councilman’s insistence upon housing ordinances is motivated by concern for the health and welfare of area residents, including students; 2) his attendance and participation record as a councilman is one of the best in the Council and evidences a full-time commitment to his responsibilities; 3) his business involvements show him to be a man of civic concern rather than the arch-ogre capitalist dreaded by the editor; and 4) his service to his constituents is more aptly recorded in the pages of 'community newspapers than in the ignorant diatribes of said editor. Especially- reprehensible on the part of the latter Because of Ms. Pestell’s and Mr. to identify themselves,it is necessary to point out that they are not mere objective members of this University or community. Both are Editor’s Bowie’s note: failure - -On Ford: There is the virtual certainty that -Copyright 1973,Los Angeles Times two years “dismal,” nothing is farther from the truth. His attendance record for coucil meetings has been over 95%. Moreover, while his opponent has been busy trying to peddle his utopian dreams, Councilman Volkert has gotten things accomplished for all segments of his constituency for the welfare of the University District as a whole. One final point should be mentioned. You say of Mr. Volkert: “His idea of co-operation with |U.B.| is to make occasional contact with Dr. Ketter’s office.” Early in September, Mr. Volkert was scheduled to give a non-political, informational a talk which orientation talk in the Haas Lounge had to be cancelled because of a disappointingly poor student turn-out. Yet here was the perfect forum for any dissatisfied student to talk with the councilman in an informal setting. I am confident that Mr. Volkert will continue to work dilligently on behalf of University District residents if re-elected, and I urge students and other members of the U.B. community to support him in Tuesday’s election. W\ 'H Tit. YOU CAM COM OUT NOW — Cheryl S. Pest ell U.B. Class of 71 Price attacked To the Editor. Gerald Ford, when his nomination is confirmed and if Mr. Nixon is impeached, will prove a weak reed on which to rest the awesome burden of presidential responsibilities. This, too, can operate in Mr. Nixon’s favor. -On foreign policy crises: There will be many who feel that, with the Mideast crisis and the difficult years ahead in relations with Russia and China, there will have to be a strong, knowledgeable team running foreign policy. Otherwise, we may find ourselves with an unconscionable President out of the way by impeachment, but with a foreign policy in chaos. -On the media; Mr. Nixon is clearly trying to use the method that Agnew used effectively, both early and late in his Vice Presidency, in rallying the widespread, latent antimedia bitterness to his support. This is dangerous for the nation, but he may be desperate enough to use it. —On divisiveness: Even if a majority of the people decide to go along with an impeachment resolution by the House, the nation is bound to be thrown into turmoil in the process a turmoil that could in turn be used against it by internal demagogues or by the Soviets. I don’t find these adding up to a conclusive case against impeachment. But I have set down the trends that may move irreversibly to impeachment, and also the forces that Mr. Nixon can still use. If we are to act, we need to face the probable consequences of our actions. is his quoting of the Evening News as a source of opposition to the Councilman’s re-election, when actually the News has endorsed Mr, Volkert. Here Mr. Kurtz is simply a malicious liar, one somewhat akin to the candidate he has been supporting surreptitiously for months. Out of the closet has bounded Mr. Kurtz, trailing clouds of bad faith promises behind him, to at long last endorse the candidate whom he has been so diligently supporting. Bill Price, who grandiloquently envisions a coporate state system (Mussolini-style fascism) for the University District, has been waging a campaign reminiscent of that system’s mentor. It is, however, comforting to observe Howie Kurtz finally throwing off all pretense to assume his rightful position beside Mr. Price, the servile position of an editorial apologist for this authoritarian messiah. I urge all students to repudiate the Price-Kurtz axis and support a man who re-election, Councilman Volkert. well deserves Ray Bowie affiliated with Mr. Volkert and his bid for re-election. In fact, Ms. Pestell manages Mr. Volkert's storefront and Mr. Bowie is entrusted with such campaign concerns as press matters. Halloween dying? To the Editor On behalf of my roommates, several friends and myself, all of whom noticed and were distressed by this problem, I would like to express our collective disappointment over what seems to have happened to the fine holiday of Halloween. This is the first year I am living off campus. In the middle of October, I realized this would be my first Halloween in my own house and I really started to get psyched for it. I bought the biggest pumpkin I could find and my friend went to great pains to skillfully carve it into a Jack-o-lantern. I also bought enough candy bars and lollipops for an army ofkids. Halloween night came and we waited, waited, and waited. Finally at 9:30 our first trick or treater came. The little fellow must have been about 3 years old. His mother was with him, if for no other reason than the fact that he wasn’t tall enough to ring the bell. We were so glad to see him we must have given him half a dozen candy bars and lollipops. But his was the last painted face and constumed body that we saw. It just seemed to my friends and I what a shame that today’s kids should be missing thi£ wonderful experience, which we always enjoyed so much. Of course we do live close to Main Street and it is possible that some mothers told their children to keep away from that big, nasty road. However, no one we spoke to had a very big turnout. It just seems that the holiday is dying and it’s a damn shame. Of course pur pumpkin was thoroughly destroyed which we completely expected. At least one thing about Halloween hasn’t changed. •* . , Bruce Engel •ti Page ten The Spectrum Monday, 5 November 1973 . . �Marriage Focus on special problems by Bruce Engel Contributing Editor Editor’s note: This is the second of a two-part series on the lifestyle of the married student athlete. Today’s installment is a case study of the only married athlete on a Buffalo varsity team, wrestler Jerry Nowakowski. “We were married on September 2 lait year, and school started the fifth, so we came right to Buffalo. 1 didn’t have a job, Cheryl didn’t have a job for three weeks. The first three months were really terrible. We have to live on lawn furniture for a while.” These were Buffalo wrestler Jerry Nowakowski’s comments regarding the first few days of his marriage to his high school sweetheart Cheryl. The first two years of wedlock are being complicated by Jerry’s studies, as well as his wrestling career. Nowakowski was an Eastern Regional champion last season. They were married after Jerry’s two years at Allegheny Community College. Cheryl, 21, went to work right after she graduated high school in Harbor Creek, Pennsylvania. Jerry, 22, is now a senior physical education major, : At the start, until Jerry started working, it was pretty tough. He owed money and it was si* months before they were in decent shape. “I guess we were living on love then,” said Jerry. “We didn’t have much else.” “The best part about it is that it’s behind us,” added Cheryl. , . More money, less rent The Nowakowskis’ financial situation has improved considerably since those early days. Cheryl’s job in the Master Charge billing department at Marine Midland bank brings home nearly $400 a month. Jerry manages to supplement that income by working IS hours a week in the Clark Hall equipment room and another 15 hours teaching physical education at Gateway House, a school for mentally and socially disturbed children. Nonetheless, the Nowakowski’s have decided to move from North Buffalo to an apartment downtown, not far from the Peace Bridge. Their old home was only slightly larger and very hard to heat. ‘The neighborhood is not as good and the place is a little smaller, but in the winter months, the r$nt and heat should come to half the old place/’ rtldTeisy. Socially, the Nowakowskis find it easy to relate to their married friend* in Harbor Creek, Jerry’s tingle teammate*, the people Cheryl work* with, and even Jerry’* friends from the motorcycle racing circuit. Racing his bike is rapidly becoming Jerry’s favorite pasttime. Cheryl enjoys the sport, and doesn’t worry as long as she can see him. “It’s fun and it’s different,” she said. They manage to go out every weekend until the wrestling season starts. During the season they can’t, however, and Jerry is often away on weekends. “It bothers me a little not to go out,” said Cheryl. “But I know it [wrestling) is important to him. Of course, I don’t sleep real good when he’s gone.” Last year she stayed with Sue Policarc (former wrestler Tony’s wife) on extended road trips, but since Tony’s graduation, the Policares have moved. Cheryl doesn’t mind supporting her husband and would no doubt be working anyway. Both of them want to save money to purchase land in a few years. However, Cheryl looks forward to the future and a more stable life. “Actually it doesn’t bother me as much as last year, when things were so tight. We both grew up a lot last year.” Wife biggest fan Rather than wishing that Jerry didn’t wrestle, Cheryl is undoubtedly his biggest fan. She actually gets mad at him if he does something wrong on the mat. “I’m very proud of his wrestling until he messes up, like if somebody reverses him or something,” she said. Despite what seems to be an Evil Knievel complex (Jerry not only wrestles and races, but polevaults as well), Cheryl insists she never worries until something actually goes wrong. “I don’t worry much, but I do get terribly excited. When your husband is out there, you can just sit and watch,” she added. Jerry is convinced that both his wife and his marriage have had positive effects on both his wrestling and his school work. “When I’m on the mat I don’t want to look bad in front of her. And it’s nice to have someone to come home to who understands my problems.” Regarding school work, Cheryl has proved to be both an incentive and an aid. “If I wasn’t married, I wouldn’t care about good grades,” Jerry conjectured. “I’d probably just go out every night. But now I know I have to get good grades and get a job.” His wife also lightens his burdens by doing some of his typing and paying the bills, he stressed. It seems the Nowakowskis have handled their problems and are thriving in what might have been a very hard life. Jerry likes the Buffalo area and would enjoy teaching here after he graduates, while Cheryl would prefer to go back to Pennsylvania. Realistically, Jerry will have to accept the best job he can get, wherever it is. He would definitely like to coach wrestling. Jerry is also considering working with disturbed children or doing some graduate work. Ultimately they’d like to have 10 or 15 acres of land somewhere to settle down. Commenting on the coach’s view that marriage can be a stabilizing experience, although it may be very hard to be a student athlete and married at the same time, Jerry said: “It depends on the people. Cheryl really knows what money is. Getting married when we did was a lot to ask, but it worked out all right.” WIS ELECTION DAY HEWLETT-PACKARD HP-45 Advanced Pocket Scientific Calculator CAST YOUR BALLOT FOR THE CANDIDATE OF YOUR CHOICE.

Sheriff Amico admits that he “had some reservation at the outset” when these programs were being implemented, but he feels that they have been a success. Much of /his hesitancy stemmed from the fact that “the trie County Sheriffs Department." the largest in the state, "is looked up to by many smaller Sheriffs departments,” and Mr. Amico did not want to see the projects fail. He was also a bit apprehensive about critics’ charges of “coddling criminals.” financial difficulty. Mr. Amico, —continued from page 3— and around Buffalo. The Sheriff’s office has .compiled a file on all convictea sex offenders, which is available to all police units throughout the county. Women detectives give lectures to various women’s groups about preventive measures which can be taken to avoid sexual assault. In addition, the Sheriffs office has printed and distributed a pamphlet which contains safety tips for women while walking, driving or living alone. One of the Sheriffs duties is “keeper of the jail,” and Mr. Amico credits his department with instituting reform measures in the county jails. Inmates are now encouraged to obtain high school diplomas through classes offered at the jail in conjunction with the Board of Education, which sends teachers to the prison.

University faculty and students conduct drama and craft classes for women, and inmates now have more use of exercise and game rooms than was allowed in the past according to the Sheriff. Food service has also been improved; hot meals, previously served to prisoners in the afternoons so the kitchen help could go home early, are now served at night. The quality and quantity of food served at the jail has also been improved, Sheriff Amico feels.

Commenting on problems at the State University of Buffalo, Mr. Amico said the school “was the center of substantial drug activity some years ago,” but he believes “the problem has now resolved itself.” He further believes the school is now “substantially drug-free,” even though a short time ago there were many drug peddlers on campus. At the present time there are no investigations of drug activity being conducted at the University, but if a complaint is made, the Sheriffs Department will step in.

November 1973 NO NO �H ockey Bulls win se ason opener, 7-4 by Dave Geringer Sports Editor KENT, Ohio Repeating last season’s opening victory, the hockey Bulls started their 1973-74 season Friday night with a 7-4 victory at Kent State. Buffalo bested the Clippers by an identical score last year. The game was not as close as the score might indicate, with Buffalo drawing to 4-1 and 6-2 leads after the first and second periods, respectively. Three of the four Clipper goals came on power plays, none lasting longer then 49 seconds. “1 know our power play was good,” agreed Clipper coach Doii Lumley. “We only worked on our power play and penalty killing two days this week.” It’s all mental on the power play you have to keep your guys in a box (formation used against power plays in the defensive zone). If your guys get sucked out of position by the puck carrier, it kills the box. Your guys got sucked out and ours didn’t,” Lumley added. Buffalo coach Ed Wright reported that lack of work had hurt Buffalo. “It’s [penalty killing] something we haven’t had a chance to work on. We looked very bad on man short - - situations.” Soccer , _ Officials Norm Schuette and Lou Cote overlooked countless penalties, calling only six until the final five minutes of the contest. The tempo of the game became increasingly rougher, nearly breaking into brawls in several instances. “It makes me feel good that right now I don’t think we can be intimidated by anyone,” assessed Wright. “Since hockey is a game of intimidation, you’re at an advantage if you are the intimidator. I think this kind of game does something for your confidence,” continued the Bull coach. ‘To be involved in a rough contest and to know that you can handle yourself when the going gets rough Will help.” Wright praised the play of the Chuck Davies-Rick Wolstenholme-Mike Klym line. ‘The gold line played excellent positional hockey,” affirmed Wright. ‘They utilized their wings and used the total ice surface.” Right wing Mike Klym, who tallied a goal and three assists attributed his new style of play (emphasizing passing rather than shooting) to televised hockey games. “I watch the games on TV,” said Klym, “and I say I should play that way.” The Bulls will put their 1-0 record on the line against Bowling Green Friday and Saturday nights at Twin Rinks. ’72 roles reversed In a reversal of their 1972 roles, the top-seeded Albany soccer team scored a 3-1 decision over the Bulls, dashing Buffalo’s hope of annexing the 1973 Chancellor’s Cup. Last year, top-seeded Buffalo opened the first annual SUNY Center T ournament by knocking off fourth-seeded Albany, 3-1. area before the ball» was kicked, apparently negating the goal. The violation went unnoticed by the referees, however, and the “discussion” that followed between the officials and Buffalo head coach Sal Esposito resulted in Esposito’s early exodus from the playing Binghamton’s host Colonials opened the day’s action with an unimpressive 4-0 victory against third-seeded Stony Brook. Playing under clear skies, but on a damp, sloped field, the Colonials, 9-2 for the season and ranked eighth in New York State, tallied a pair of goals in each half to advance to ‘These officials had no guts at all,” commented Esposito afterwards. “I came here to win a ballgame, not for two officials to mess up our efforts. I would have been less than fair if I hadn’t said what I did.” Esposito’s other remarks were less than Buffalo dominated play early in their contest and opened the scoring just five minutes into the game. Jim Young stripped an Albany halfback from the ball at midfield and broke in all alone on Danes goalie Henry Obwald. The goal was Young’s ninth of the season and marked the fifth consecutive game in which he had scored; both are school records. The goal seemed to ignite Albany, as the Danes fired nineteen shots at Buffalo goalie Frank Daddario, scoring with less than ten minutes left in the half to knot the score at 1-1. The Danes, assisted greatly by a series of poor calls by officials Ed Daub and Bruce Theobald, took the lead for good just eight minutes into the second half on a disputed penalty kick. Buffalo halfback Chuck Santa Maria had apparently stolen the ball from Albany right wing Pasquale Petriccione, but the officials ruled that Santa Maria had tripped the Danes forward in the penalty area. On the ensuing penalty kick, the Danes’ Wayne Garroway entered the penalty area. complimentary regarding the quality of the officiating. Albany coach Bill Schiesselin’s opinion of the officiating concurred with that of Esposito. “I think the quality of officiating in the first game was much better,” said Schiesselin. The Bulls faced Stony Brook in Saturday’s consolation game, followed by the A lb any-Binghamton championship game. Please call Jakeat The Spectrum. Your grade Is In Jeopardy!

BSU first became aware of the funds shortage on October 16 when several students complained they had not yet received any money and would probably be compelled to leave school. At a Black Studies class October 25, concerned BOP students organized a committee to find out what had caused delays in the grants of 238 black students. “We felt this was part of a financial genocide move to push blacks off this campus,” claimed Larry Williams, head of BSU. Later that day, 40 students went to Hayes Hall to present a list of verbal demands to President Robert Ketter. The demands were: Immediate payment of EOF — checks Immediate action by the Search Committee to find a new director for the University’s EOF - program. (Former director Emmett Lyons resigned at the end of last semester because of an alleged lack of cooperation from the Administration.) — Administrative sanction to form a committee that would “go into” the Financial Aid office and entire the EOF investigate operation. Each student in the program would be given a copy of the EOF - guidelines. responsibilities immediately if he was Dr. Ketter out-of-town, the group arranged a Executive conference with vice-president Albert Somit and assistant Baumer, William Academic Affairs vice-president. The administrators claimed they were unaware that the EOF monies had not arrived. In successive meetings, on October 15 and 16, it was agreed that the UB Foundation would advance the funds to the EOF students. However, Mr. Williams informed Drs. Somit, Baumer, and Student Richard Affairs vice-president Siggelkow that he would “be back comes from outside the University other and must fulfill employment committments. Dr. Somit noted. “We also got committments to Because every day to make sure there were no shenanigans.” Administration liason With Student Association (SA) President Jon Dandes serving as liason between the Administration and EOP students, an additional meeting was arranged last Tuesday between Mr. Williams, Dr. Baumer and Dr. Somit. The administrators acquiesced to the BSU demand that the Search Committee find a new EOP director by December 1, with one representative from BSU and one from the Puerto Rican student organization (PODER) serving on the committee. Explaining the delay in choosing a new EOP director. Dr. Somit said that under the state’s Affirmative Action Equal Job Opportunity Plan, the job opening was required to be posted tor several weeks. He indicated that the application period had ended and hoped the research committee would designate a permanent director by December 1. However, the newly-appointed director may not be able to assume his help arrange a type of thing where the delay in funds would not happen again," Mr. Williams said. Additionally, an agreement was reached whereby EOP students would be allowed to form a representative body to speak solely for EOP students, even though BSU would still remain a member of SA. Request rejected The Administration rejected the students’ request that they be allowed to set up a committee to search through pertinent financial records to see what had caused the mix-up. “They wouldn’t know what they were going to look for,” commented Dr. Sigglekow. “But we did give them a list of the and tried to be EOP guidelines . square on the whole thing.” ‘The Financial Aid records are confidential; we don’t allow just anybody to go roaming around the office,” said Mr. Baumer. Dr. Siggelkow was quick to note that although some students had not received their checks on time, there had been no problem with 1000 out of an estimated 1200-plus in the EOP program Observing that Mr. Williams may have been slightly “confused” in the placing number of late recipients at 238, he explained that applying for EOP grants was a complicated procedure and that may have applicants some accidentally followed an incorrect procedure. To qualify nternal for an Equal Opportunity grant, a student must there after the March 1 deadline. Dr. Siggelkow indicated. “If they be classified as both educationally had filed properly, there’s no way and economically disadvantaged, they wouldn’t have gotten the Because there are two parts to the applications, parent and student money on time,” he added. Dr. Siggelkow attempted to Siggelkow Dr. statements. suggested some students “may in clarify why a student sometimes good faith” have sent the former receives less money than he half home to their parents, who applied for. Some of this money is usually taken out of the stipends could have neglected to send it to the College Scholarship Service in to pay for items like the student’s Princeton, New Jersey after filling room, board and student fees, he it out explained. Thus, a student who has filed for a grant of $800 might only receive $200. Additionally, Statements overlooked It is also possible that some because EOF grants are awarded students may have forgotten to only in cases of extreme need, send the “student statement” to some students “may have asked the EOF office in Berkeley, for more than they have coming,” California, or may have sent it Dr. Siggelkow concluded. report Collegesfound successful by Richard Lapping Spectrum Staff Writer Despite their highly favorable internal evaluations, “most people in the University aren’t aware of what’s going on in the Colleges,” said Keith Klopp, acting Director. The internal evaluations were conducted by each College at the close of the Spring 1973 semester. Each College was evaluated by a team of three people from the the University and Buffalo community. “Most Colleges were satisfied with their committees,” Various Klopp. said Mr. the committees “approached Colleges differently,” he noted. ‘There seems not to have been a uniform set of guidelines,” he added. According to the evaluations, Colleges B,E,F,H and Z share the common problem of insufficient funding. College H, in fact, received no budget whatsoever for 1972-73. College H was formed after the budgetary planning, Mr. Klopp explaind, and “contingency funds were on the thin side.” During the evaluation, College experiencing a “lack of B was Jiane * . strong leadership,” resulting in a loss of “unity and purpose,” the evaluation noted. The committee highly recommended Allen Sapp, Professor of Jusic, to become Master of College B, a position he has now assumed. was Hall Schoellkopf considered inadequate quarters for the residential College B by the evaluations. The use of Oakstone Farm to house College students off-campus was B recommended. College B specializes in the humanities, with emphasis on the fine and performing arts. The College has not succeeded in utilizing the community’s vast according to the resources, With Dr. Sapp’s leadership, some reorganization, and University support, College B committee. vital could become “a establishment offering a serious alternative to the regular degree programs of the University,” the team assessed. College E ‘favorable’ rated College was E “favorable” by its evaluating team. In past years, a number of E courses have been considered questionable by the due administration to their College atypical or experimental subject matter. The committee chose six classes at random and found them all very worthwhile. Teachers in their highly were rated “lecturing ability and ability to elicit student participation.” College E is “addressing itself areas of importance to the University and society,” the team said, and was “behaving in a responsible manner.” The College, however, has not adequately its “relational explained philosophy/goal” to the rest of the campus. Pass/fail grading with written accompanying an evaluation was suggested by the evaluators. College E operates as a cooperative, with no designated master. Lacking ample time to conduct a complete evaluation for College F, the team reviewed the College’s own self-study and submitted it along with their summary, rln effect, College F has become a “male studies college.” Although only eight courses are offered, the to —continued on page 4— �BSU leader arraigned Black Student Union (BSU) leader Larry Williams was arraigned' in court Wednesday on charges of harrassment and resisting arrest. Mr. Williams was stopped for a routine search by a Campus Security officer on the night of October 25, and he became verbally abusive, according to director of Campus Security Pat Glennon. When the officer insisted on seeing his license, Mr. Williams allegedly attempted to strike him. The officer repeated his request and Mr. Williams lashed out for the second time, Mr. Glennon said. Mr. Williams has denied this version of the incident. Conflicting stories Mr. Williams claimed that after showing the officer his license, he asked him if there was anything else he wanted. The officer then threatened to arrest him for harassment, and Mr. Williams said he started “walking away from him. There was no reason to stay because I couldn’t win,” Mr. Williams said. “As I was walking away, he came up from behind me and tried to hold me down. We had a tussle and when I fell to the ground, someone stepped on my arm.” Mr. Williams said he was then handcuffed, arrested and booked at the 16th precinct. He was booked at the 16th precinct and bailed out later that night for $250. The Progressive Labor Party (PLP) protested Mr. Williams’ arrest at a rally Friday, accusing the Administration of racism and “financial genocide.” PLP members contended the Administration “wants to get rid of guys like Larry Williams because it is scared to death that others will follow his militant leadership.” However, several administrators have insisted that Mr. Williams’ arrest was not connected in any way to either racism or his involvement in the Educational Opportunity Program (EOP) dispute. Sexuality: pervading component in us all by Caasy Roberts Spectrum Staff Writer “Sexuality is part of a person’s total identity. the male/female sexual being is inextricably woven with a person’s activities even the way we walk and talk,” said James Serpiglia, clinical psychiatrist at Meyer Memorial Hospital. This talk was the second in a series of workshops on human sexuality sponsored by the life Workshops. Ann Loretan, head nurse of a mental health ward in Meyer' Hospital, assisted Dr. Serapiglia in a discussion of the psychological aspects of human sexuality before a near-capacity crowd in Norton Union Tuesday evening. - Watts and the gospel of Saint Paul, Dr. Serapiglia showed how heavily influenced he felt the Western world is by a predominantly Judeo-Christian philosophy, which “tends to see man’s sexuality as part of an animal or lower nature.” This results in a “grudging toleration of sexuality has no positive relationship to [which] the life of the spirit, according to Mr. Watts. If our culture does not integrate sexuality as a part of life, it cannot be well integrated into the personal life of the individual. This leads to “disintegration of the individual as a human being, and even pathological behavior,” he explained. The ... examples to illustrate the embarrassment with which we deal with our sexuality. Stereotyped roles Parents, as agents of culture, rear children to adhere to societal norms. The male part of sexuality is often equated with aggressiveness, while the female part is associated with passivity. “Direct teaching by parents reinforces distinctly masculine or feminine achievements,” said Dr. Serapiglia. Of primary importance is the sexual adequacy of the parent who provides the model for the sexuality of the child of the same sex,” he continued, citing The presentation focused on sexuality, as opposed to sex; how attitudes toward sexuality are formed; and how these attitudes are changing. Dr. Serapiglia defined sexuality as “a component of a person’s identity which pervades a person’s experience of himself.” Thus, he explained, a person can be aware of his or her situations which are not sexuality explicitly sexual. noted. He cited the fact that the conservative American Psychiatric recently Association “eliminated as a homosexuality psychological pathology.” Pathology should be seen as originating with the culture. Dr. Serapiglia added. For example, a homosexual may be forced to lead two lives: one homosexual, the other, psuedo-heterosexual, because deviance is defined on the basis of social “Attitudes they norms. which [homosexuals] have been inculcated with lead to denial, non-acceptance of behavior... and to depreciation of the self.” The same thing can happen to heterosexuals, for example, in a relationship outside of marriage, he noted. Using material from philosopher Alan . of VD.” - More awareness Oriental view, by contrast, “sees sexuality as an art.” More specific ways in which culture conveys attitudes toward sexuality can be seen in the structure of the language and the relationship Of parents to their children. “English,” said Dr. Serapiglia, “shows the difficulty with which we deal with sexual activities and feelings.” On the one hand, we have words which graphically describe the act, portray it as obscenity, and convey the attitudes of “dirty” and “bad.” The more “proper” terms are often long and difficult to pronounce, and not usually found in the vocabulary of the layman. Dr. Serapiglia also noted an absence of verbs to portray sexuality, and the use of the passive, rather than the active tense, in describing sexual axts. The audience laughed in response to his Page two The Spectrum Friday, 2 November 1973 . She also noted the more negative aspects of the recent sexual freedom, such as “bombardment with sexuality by advertisers.” More freedom of choice in sexual matters puts a tremendous pressure on yopng people in decisions concerning their sexuality, die feels. This often leads to experimentation without a real knowledge of themselves and their partners, and has contributed to the Many difficulties are also inherent in the changing male-female roles, including impotency on the part of the male, based on fears resulting from new demands made by women. “Sex can become a testing who can give who what,” she ground said. To make a distinction between “normal” and “abnormal” sexuality, Dr. Serapiglia maintained that neither heterosexuality nor homosexuality is abnormal. Both can be normal or abnormal depending on how well the behavior and relationships of the individual are integrated into the person’s perception of self. Normal sexuality exists when sexual feelings and behavior “are consistent with, and flow smoothly from, a person’s perception of self.” It involves a relationship “between consenting adults who feel good about themselves and what they are doing.” Medical professions no longer define the orgasm.” current “epidemic proportions Consenting adults homosexual as abnormal, Dr. Serapiglia without marriage, and to deal more openly with their sexual feelings, as shown by the emergence of the Gay Liberation movement. Homes for unwed mothers in Buffalo are changing their services to meet other needs because of the “diminishing need to hide for nine months from family and friends while carrying a child.” She credits Masters and Johnson as being largely responsible for increasing awareness that sexuality is a legitimate area for study, commenting wryly on “the startling revelation that females could have an several maxims that typify social attitudes toward sexuality. For instance, mothers often admonish their daughters not to do anything with a boy that would prevent them from holding up their heads with dignity, “leading many' a daughter to wonder,” quipped Dr. Serapiglia, “what to do with her head.” / Ms. Loretan directed her address toward the changing attitudes toward sexuality in current times implied by the term “sexual revolution.” She credits Women’s Liberation with a major role in effecting these changes in attitude. “Women’s Lib has eloquently pointed out the sexual oppression of the female, and as a by-part, the sexual oppression of the male,” Dr. Serpiglia added. Ms. Loretan dted various examples open: people now feel free to live together Sexuality is becoming a more Tooked-into area,” Ms. Lorenton said, citing the recent integration of professional courses concerning sexuality with medical programs. Previously, the family doctor had only his own experiences to rely on, “which could amount to anything.” Noting the existence of seminars dealing with the topic, she pointed out to the audience: ‘Ten years ago you probably wouldn’t have been sitting here.” Increasing numbers of articles in the lay press reflect interest in, and changing attitudes toward, sexuality, said Ms. Lorenton. The Christian attitude has undergone a recent change in viewing sexuality as a way of showing warmth toward others and desiring to feel needed by others, she said. Previously, procreation had been viewed as the only legitimate value of intercourse in marriage. The “workshop” aspect of the evening’s program came at the end of the presentation. Three smaller groups were formed-to enable members of the audience to exchange personal views concerning sexuality, or to react to ideas presented in the lecture. Resourse people were present in each group, to facilitate discussion and answer any technical questions. �GSA Tuition plan misconstrued Several graduate students have recently been unnecessarily dropped from courses by their departments. “This was a result caused by some department heads misinterpreting the Graduate School’s latest plan for stretching tuition waiver dollars,” explained GSA vice president Robert enrolled in variable credit courses. This would reduce their tuition cost, thereby “making it possible to honor the commitment to give full tuition coverage to graduate assistants,” said Dr. Hull. Credits unneeded “Most higher-level graduate students passed the PhD credit Graham. ago,” Dr. Hull The plan guidelines, calling for requirements long grad a reduction in the number of explained. Many of these involved in are generally students graduate a credits taken by and student per semester, was graduate teaching, research “misinterpreted to include regular thesis courses where “all semester lecture courses,” said MacAllister credits are given through the Hull, dean of the Graduate variable credit system. Reducing School. The plan was actually the number of credits from 16 to designed to reduce the amount of 8 or 9 would enable the graduate credit awarded to those students school to continue to meet its tuition waiver program,” he said. “The guidelines of this plan is to prevent students from being hurt. Where the student needs the credit, he or she will get it,” Dr. Hull explained. The difficulties arose during the ' summer when the State Legislature placed a ceiling on tuition waivers. This reduction meant “the funds originally allocated would not be available,” according to Dr. Hull.

House Council is considering asking a group from the Environmental Design Department to examine the space and determine its optimal uses and how the space will be transformed.

Mr. Nixon telephoned Mr. Kleindienst in 1971 and directed him not to appeal an ITT ruling to the Supreme Court, sources quoted by The Times allegedly stemming from secret Kleindienst testimony, indicated. Stopping the appeal resulted in an out-of-court settlement between the Government and ITT generally regarded as favorable to the conglomerate. This settlement followed an ITT agreement to help finance the 1972 Republican convention with gifts reportedly ranging from $100,000 to $400,000. This is the first time that a Government official has said Mr. Nixon personally intervened on behalf of ITT in the antitrust case. Mr. Kelindienst refused comment on The Times report. 'Ultimate cover-up’ Decrying the leak of confidential information as “inexcusable,” the White House said President Nixon had every right to intervene in the ITT case due to his legitimate interest in directing “antitrust policy.” Meanwhile, fired Special Prosecutor Archibald Cox said Mr. Nixon’s refusal to turn over additional Watergate tapes or documents would constitute a “cover-up” of possible wrongdoing. Asked during Senate testimony whether that could be called the “ultimate cover-up,” Mr. Cox said: “I have no quarrel with your characterization.” Both Mr. Cox and acting Attorney General Robert Bork have said that any new special prosecutor appointed by Mr. Nixon must have full authority to seek Presidential documents and tapes; Mr. Nixon maintains the new appointee will not have the authority to sue the President for those materials. Opinion polls reported the public favored an independent special prosecutor, apart from the executive branch, by a 2-to-l margin. Mr. Nixon plans to nominate Senator William B. Saxbe (R., Ohio) as the new Attorney General, UPI reported Wednesday. Subpoena powers The House Judiciary Committee’s inquiry into possible grounds for impeaching President Nixon began Wednesday with the committee’s Democratic majority voting,™ give chairman Rep. Peter Rodino Jr. (D., NJ.) full subpoena powers in the inquiry.

Mr. Rodino’s office alqne received 18,000 11 Vulgar names According to The Times sources, Mr. Kleindienst received a call from former domestic advisor John Ehrlichman in 1971 asking that the Justice Department stop its appeal in the ITT case. Mr. Kleindienst responded that he could not stop the appeal because it had been recommended by the department’s Antitrust Division and approved by the Solicitor General. A short time later, President Nixon called and, after calling Mr. Kleindienst a Two tapes of White House vulgar name, said: “Don’t you understand the conversation* that were believed English language?” He then ordered the appeal be> to contain evidence critical to the investigation were never halted.

For the first time in public, President Nixon’s attorney announced that the two tapes had never existed during the entire legal controversy.

The judge gave no indication of what action he might take when all the evidence concerning the unavailable tapes has been submitted. Claiming that the disclosure had “dramatically shifted the burden of proof,” Senator James ConservativeL.' Buckley, Republican of New York, said Mr. Nixon “has the clear burden of satisfying the American people that he has been speaking the truth.” Rep. Harley O. Staggers (D., W.Va.) said: “There’s no way on God’s green earth anybody’s going to believe that the tapes Meanwhile, never existed.” Senator Sam J. Ervin, the Senate Watergate committee chairman, said he had been assured by the White House as late as October 19 that all nine tapes his committee had been seeking were intact. the of The disclosure non-existence of the two tapes “will create further doubts in the mind of the public about the said credibility,” President’s Senator Herman Talmadge (D., Ga.) of the Senate committee.

Joint backing by these two parties is uncommon, but it reflects the widespread support that Mr. Breitel has received from the traditional power centers within the state. Mr. Breitel is now serving his seventh year as an associate justice on the Court of Appeals. He has also served on the State Supreme Court, and earlier as a member of the Appelate Division. His judicial experience spans a period of 23 years. In addition, Judge Breitel was appointed by Presidents Eisenhower, Kennedy and Johnson to various federal commissions dealing with the administration of justice. Mr. Breitel also has experience in government stemming from the years he spent as an assistant to Thomas Dewey in the Manhattan District Attorney’s office. Unlike his Democratic opponent. Judge Breitel did not have to battle through an expensive June primary for his party’s nomination. He has often expressed his displeasure with the necessity of campaigning for a judicial post. Mr. Brcitel’s approach has been deliberately low-key; he has tried to let his judicial reputation speak for itself. Emphasizing the need for familiarty with the judicial aspects of the law, he claimed that his position on the Court of Appeals makes him “eminently” qualified. He has already had experience in the workings of the Court, he stressed, and has proven his ability to do the job. Breitel has cross party support Judge Breitel interprets his widespread cross-party support as an affirmation of his ability. Conversely, he sees the meager support afforded his opponent as verification that he is not the man for the job. Expressing concern that the election would be determined by high-pressure campaign tactics, he has strongly opposed such practices. He has, however, stepped up his advertising in the last few weeks in an effort to compensate for the large amount of publicity generated by last June’s Democratic primary. Judge Breitel’s approach to the issue of judicial reform is to update the entire court structure. He advocates combining the Surrogate, Claims, County and Family courts with the State Supreme Court in order to form a more workable unit and lend prestige to these lower courts. Mr. Breitel spoke about the widely-publicized reforms instituted in the Civil Courts of the City of New York in his. recent speech at John Lord O’Brian Hall. Those reforms were designed to make every judge responsible for a set number of cases and took measures to insure that those cases would be heard. Praising the reforms for enabling the Civil Court to erase an immense backlog of cases, Judge Breitel qualified his support of the system: “Quicker justice is not necessarily better justice.” He would adopt that program elsewhere only if he were sure it would not compromise the standards of the courts. Supports non-partisan commission Most of a judge’s work is done outside the courtroom, Judge Breitel stressed. “Long hours are spent researching material and reviewing matter placed before the court,” he said. ‘The number of hours actually spent in the courtroom are not reflective of the amount of effort being put into the case by a judge.” He is not an “apologist for the court,” Mr. Breitel said, but he “knows” what is wrong with the courts and would take action to correct those mistakes. Mr. Breitel supports a “non-partisan” commission to examine judicial appointments as well as a review board to examine misconduct charges against judges. The review board would have the power to take disciplinary action. When questioned whether someone other than a judge would be in a better position to affect change in the courts, Judge Breitel replied: “Are you going to have the nurses run the hospitals and perform the surgery?” Judicial and governmental experience is a must for any reformer, he claimed. Judge Breitel’s experience does not include court administration. The function of running the courts is the responsibility of the Court Administrator, he noted, who is appointed by the Chief Judge. Mr. Breitel estimates that the Chief Judge would spend about 80 per cent ofhis time on matters directly related to court proceedings. Administrative experience is only a secondary factor for the job, he said. Fuchsberg provides lawyer's perspective Jacob Fuchsberg is the Democratic candidate Chief Judge of the New York State Court of Appeals. Mr. Fuchsberg spoke at John Lord O’Brian Hall on October 15. He has become a controversial figure over questions of campaign tactics and judicial qualifications. A New York City-based trial lawyer specializing cases, Mr. Fuchsberg has gained the negligence in reputation of being one of the best lawyers in his Widespread support for Breitel is shown Judge Breitel field and has amassed a large personal fortune. In addition to his practice, he has published several widely-used legal texts, served on the Legal Committee of the Office of Economic Opportunity for eight years, and presided over the New York State Trial Lawyer’s Association. Mr. Fuchsberg has gained exposure in the past through some of the controversial cases he has handled, among them the famous case of Baby Lenore. However, he has not held a judgeship in the past. Mr. Fuchsberg has attempted to portray himself as a “Chief,” a man who is capable of taking charge of the situation and getting things done. He is seeking to institute reforms that he considers desperately needed. Responding to the allegations that his lack of judicial experience should disqualify him from the job,Mr. Fuchsberg noted the judiciary has been slow in bringing itself up to date, remaining idle while the problems of the courts grew continually worse. He considers himself “new blood” that would rejuvenate the courts. Regarding the necessary qualifications fo. Chief Judge, Mr. Fuchsberg said; “The experience y .m need is in life, in law; not sitting on your hind quarters for thirty years while things just drifted.” Small time spent in court Mr. Fuchsberg looks at the problem of court reform from a lawyer’s perspective. He pointed to a recent report, which stated the average daily amount of time spent by judges in one of New York City’s courts was only three hours and twenty minutes, as one of the major causes of tie-ups in the courts. He favors the establishment of a review commission which would examine the record of each judge periodically and weed out the “lazy” and “incompetent” ones. The Democratic hopeful supported his plan by referring to the practice of the Civil Court of the City of New York, where a program making each judge responsible for a set number of cases succeeded in clearing up a backlog of many thousands of cases. Mr. Fuchsberg has not received the endorsement of any of the state’s major newspapers, nor has he gotten enthusiastic support from most leading Democrats. S6me Democrats have gone so far as to throw their support to the opposition candidate. Many of the state’s Bar Associations have opposed Mr. Fuchsberg, and some have even questioned his credentials. He is, however, supported by the New York State Trial Lawyer’s Association, which is one of the largest legal organizations in the state. Mr. Fuchsberg has countered his difficulties with a large personally-financed advertising campaign aimed at the voting public. This campaign has made the general public aware of the race for Chief Judge and familiarized theih with the Jacob Fuchsberg’s name. His opponent has accused Mr. Fuchsberg of trying to sell himself “like he was a bar of soap.” Dignity questioneed Many leading figures within the judiciary have taken offense at the Democrat’s campaign tactics and deemed them unbecoming to the office. Mr. Fuchsberg maintains that his opponent’s charges regarding the “dignity” of his campaign is merely “sloganeering.” His advertisements have listed his qualifications and past experience, he emphasized, claiming that his aim is to inform the public. He has never come out and said “Vote for Jacob Fuchsberg,” he stressed, but rather gives reasons why people should vote for him. Mr. Fuchsberg said his opponent’s judicial philosophy is, “judges should be seen and not heard.” Lacking the backing of any political “machine” state, Mr. Fuchsberg has resorted to using his the in own personal money to finance his election. He is proud of this fact and said; “This shows that 1 am not responsible to any political bosses.” He claimed his opponent is receiving financial backing from Gov. Rockefeller as well as several regional political leaders. Mr. Fuchsberg’s view of the election is summed up by the importance he places on the fact that the people finally have the opportunity to select the Chief Judge.

The WBFO (88.7 FM) studio is the home of The Ten O’clock Muse, an hour-long program hosted by Janice Mackenzie, in which students and faculty read their poetry before an audience while the show is broadcast live to the Buffalo area. Ms. Mackenzie, a graduate student in the special humanities program at this University is herself an accomplished poet and teaches a creative writing workshop in the Women’s Studies College. Another grad student, Marty Cohen, first conceived of the idea for The Ten O Clock Muse and began broadcasting his version of the program over WBFO in July 1972. He brought on well-known poets and taped a half-hour interview and a half-hour of reading for later broadcast. Among his guests were Alan Feldman, a doctoral student at the University and author of The Household, Basil Bunting, a contemporary of Ezra Pound and author of Loquitur and Briggflatts, and Max Wickert, professor of English here, who read some of his own poetry plus his translations of Georg Trakl, the early German expressionist. In his own right Marty Cohen hosted the show until November 1972, when he and his wife Mindy Aloff, also a well-known poet in Buffalo, moved to another city. Mr. Cohen is a poet in his own right as well, and devoted one program to his collection of poetry, After his departure the show was Ms. Mackenzie dropped. attempted for months to have the program reinstated. “I was so persistent that finally the program director asked me if I would do a one-month special of The Ten O'Clock Muse as part of a fund-raising drive for the station,” she said. WBFO, as a branch of the Division of Continuing Education, is funded directly from state monies, but it depends on grants and listener support to publish its monthly program guide and for not various other expenses covered by state funding. The one-month special was originally scheduled for February, but didn’t actually get off the ground till last March; Ms. Mackenzie has been doing the show ever since. Lillian Robertson. David Ignatov, a well-known poet and author of several volumes of verse, made a surprise appearance earlier this month and read for half an hour. During the summer, Ms. Mackenzie played tapes from the WBFO library of famous poets who had previously appeared here, such as Carolyn Kaiser, John Logan, Robert Creeley, Robert Bly, and Allen Ginsberg. Feedback from the show is unpredictable. Occasionally, Ms. Mackenzie will receive a letter or a phone call from a listener, but more often than not the only comments she gets are from the faculty and students in the English Department, who apparently catch the show more often than other groups. People are less 1 enthusiastic about the program this year, she feels. “Last spring The Ten O ’Clock Muse was the only poetry series on campus, and perhaps even in all of Buffalo. This term Carl Dennis has resumed his Intramural Poetry Series for grad students and faculty, and the Women’s Studies College offers several readings during the semester for its members.” I had help last term with publicity, with the result that this term it’s more disorganized and usuallv less of it acts out out.” she said. Usually from 15 to 20 people come every week to watch the show being broadcast. The atmosphere in the studio is informal and the audience can move around. The poets are encouraged to talk to the audience. Refreshments in the form of organic cookies and cakes are provided by Cosmic Caterers.

No one believes It is a measure of this country's loss of confidence that people are seriously discussing Richard Nixon's mentaf stability. Throughout the first few months of the Watergate scandal, the besieged President was the tough, battling, calculating politician. At press conferences he gave stellar performances, handling the tough questions, skillfully evading the hostile ones, maintaining the upper hand. Last Friday's conference was in marked contrast: Mr. Nixon literally blew his cool, lashing out at the media as if they were the cause of his troubles, abruptly stomping off in the middle. In addition to his usually-evasive answers, he applied a bit of truth-twisting, falsely relating a historical episode about Thomas Jefferson "withholding" evidence from Chief Justice John Marshall, when in fact he must have known that historians would immediately repudiate his self-serving account. Why, then, did he offer it? Many pundits have interpreted responses such as these as evidence of Mr. Nixon's deteriorating judgment. Even more amazing was Mr. Nixon's quantum jump from characterizing the U.S. Army worldwide alert, against the alleged Soviet threat of sending troops into the Mideast, as the worst crisis since the 1962 Cuban missile scare, but then calling the chances for Mideast peace "the best in 20 years." The same Tllogic surfaced in Mr. Nixon's insistence on how well U.S.-Soviet detente was working, despite the worst exercise in brinkmanship in a decade. Many immediately likened the worldwide alert to the dictatorship tactic of making a bold foreign policy move to elicit national unity and divert attention from domestic troubles. Others simply called the U.S. response a severe miscalculation of Soviet motives. Meanwhile, evidence that Mr. Nixon himself engaged in influence peddling is growing. Although former Attorney General John Mitchell and former Commerce Secretary Maurice Stans are facing trial for impeding a federal investigation in return for campaign contributions, and the extortionist tactics of former Vice-President Spiro Agnew are now well known, Mr. Nixon had asked us to believe that an out-of-court antitrust settlement favorable to ITT, coinciding as it did with a $400,000 ITT contribution to underwrite the 1972 Republican convention, was merely coincidental. However, former Attorney General Richard Kleindienst has testified that Mr. Nixon personally ordered him not to pursue an appeal on the ITT case, leading to the dubious out-of-court settlement. This one act by itself is an impeachable offense. It doesn't require a very fertile imagination to see why milk support prices were raised following a hefty campaign contribution by the dairy industry. the White House's And now the latest bombshell tapes court-subpoenaed that of the nine announcement two incredulity, and total skepticism has met with do not exist be so as to transparent ploy This latest Nixon is disbelief. obvious; one can only assume the missing tapes contained damaging evidence and some obscure bureaucrat was told to "deep-six" them. But the larger conclusion, from Mideast misjudgments, temper flare-ups, the ridiculous tapes is that nobody, not compromise, and the latest excuses even hard-core conservative diehards, believes anything Mr. Nixon says anymore. Even if he told the truth occasionally, who would believe it? "Credibility gap" became a hackneyed phrase long ago. But when the gap a euphemistic term for government lying becomes a schism, to the point where no one believes anything the President of the United States says anymore, then we have a leader who is simply unable to govern. Nearly one-third of the country now favors impeachment, with Mr. an unworkable Nixon's approval rating a bare 28% this situation before: Harry Truman minority. We have had incompetent, months viewed as a bumbling was in his last all due to credibility 1968 Johnson had lost Lyndon and in Vietnam War. the But never have we had a President under so thick a cloud of criminal suspicion, a man whose statements about anything from Watergate to Israel to inflation are just not believed, a man who can no longer govern, with three years left in his term. The impeachment inquiry has now bogged down in the House committee and will remain there until well into 1974 unless a public shell-shocked from Agnew, Cox, Richardson and the tapes pressures Congress into action. The alternative is government at a standstill, led by a man who no one believes. — - — — — — - Page eight. The Spectrum Friday, . 2 November 1973 'Through the Glas© by Barry Kaplan As the storm continues to rumble and swirl around a weakened and defensive President, there cannot be any doubt that an historic trend has been stalled or possibly temporarily reversed. This historic trend has been the growth of the executive branch of the government at the expense of the judiciary and legislative branches. This growth of Presidential powers had been applauded by previous generations because its increased powers had been used to expand the social welfare functions of the government, as well as cutting through a generally conservative obstructionist Congress. The expansion of the role of the Presidency usually brought cheers from the “liberals” for these reasons. The conservatives generally opposed the growth of a strong Presidency, ostensibly due to fears that a strong President might assume dictatorial powers. It now seems ironic that a conservative President is attempting to manipulate the Presidency in the direction of a dictatorship, while the liberals are now monopolizing the former conservative arguments. This fear of a strong centralized executive can be traced back to early American history when the people of this country attempted to establish a working government. The first attempt at complete self-government came under the Articles of which had emphasized Confederation, de-centralization and states rights, as compared to a centralized, national state. This experiment in government seemed unworkable to many leaders who saw anarchy and chaos in this arrangement. The Constitutional Convention of 1787 faced the problem of attempting to walk a tightrope between the centralized monarchial executive, and the chaos and anarchy that supposedly occurred under the Articles of Confederation. The result of this tightrope act was the Constitution of the United States, which attempted to provide for a central executive and at the same time create some form of decentralized power and control. Thus the idea of checks and balances between the three branches of government was an essential feature, one which was solidified by a series of judicial cases. This form of government, conceived on paper, was given life and form by the realities of everyday politics. While the three branches were theoretically equal, the executive branch slowly grew in power and size due to the growing needs of the nation. The Presidents who history has glorified have been the so-called strong Presidents Presidents who expanded the powers and prestige of the Presidency, who led not only the nation, but the other branches of government as well. We remember Andrew Jackson, Thomas Jefferson, Abraham Lincoln, Teddy Roosevelt, Woodrow Wilson, and of course, FDR, while Millard Fillmore and his ilk are relegated to the dustbin of history. These great Presidents are remembered for their contributions to American society they filled the gaps left by the Founding Fathers. — - More than any other President, FDR symbolized the great growth of the Presidency by his unilateral actions in the field of domestic and foreign policy. It was in the rarified ai; of the New Deal that the concept of a powerful Presidency became accepted by a majority of the American people. Of course, the conservatives who opposed the reformist social legislation of the New Deal raised the same specter the fear that haunted the founders of our country of a Presidential dictatorship. Thus a split between liberals and conservatives occurred over the role of the modern-day Presidency, and the role it was to play in guiding the country’s future. No one can deny that due to advanced communications and technology, the role of the a President had to change in the modern world role possibly far removed from the one designed by the Founding Fathers. Yet the principle of the separation of powers is one that cannot be broken without it we are at the mercy of one man’s whims. The President is accountable to the Congress and the judiciary and cannot set himself above the other branches. When FDR attempted to pack the Supreme Court, even many of his most ardent liberal supporters realized that it would create an unhealthy precedent if it was successful. It seems as if we have now reached the limits of Presidential growth due to the misuse of power by our current President. The power to make war was invested not in the President, but in our Congress. The judiciary was entrusted in dispensing justice and punishing the ' tresspassers of the laws. Nowhere in the Constitution does it say that the President can ignore or obstruct the law nowhere in the Constitution is there the slightest hint that the President can consider himself above the law. Unfortunately the precedents that were set by Presidents interested in the welfare of the country have been prostituted by a man whose main concern is to hold on to the reigns of power. What those old conservatives and the Founding Fathers feared has come to pass a President who considers himself above the laws that created his position the laws of democracy. Whatever results from the recent revelations concerning the misuse of Presidential power, one thing is clear: the trend toward a powerful Presidency will be halted. America will look in 1976 to a man who will not use the awesome power of the Presidency to the fullest. After Mr. Nixon, America will not trust one man with the powers that were so eagerly bestowed upon previous Presidents. We might see the Presidency evolve for awhile into a role which is less dynamic and less visible. The sins of Mr. Nixon are sins that occur when too much power is entrusted to one man the arrogance of power can corrupt the most sincere and honest man; with Mr. Nixon, it wasn’t difficult. Let us hope, however, that if the Presidency does revert to the earlier model which was so obvious during the Gilded Age, it will only be a healthy temporary response to contemporary evils. Modern America does need a strong and dynamic leader, but we must also walk that thin tightrope between centralized power and decentralized chaos. - - — - - — - �■ Impeachment ad scored The Pete Hamill Column To the Editor: by Pete Hamill I would like to voice a strong objection to the ad on page 16 of The Spectrum, Friday, October 26. The ad pushing Dan Creed Chevytowne by pushing impeachment is in highly questionable taste, regardless of one’s political beliefs. It is a cheap attempt to sell cars by capitalizing on what Mr. Creed believes campus political sentiment to be. I would have found the ad less objectionable had Mr. Creed’s picture been included along with Agnew, Nixon and Mitchell. His reputation is certainly as suspect as Mr. Nixon’s arid his frequent TV appearances are considerably less tasteful. I doubt that you will publish this letter since it takes a considerable amount of courage to back an advertiser, but sense of fair play compels me to write {c} 1973, New York Post I was in Nathan’s at 43d St. and Broadway, eating a hotdog and watching the pimps move around on the sidewalk, when the paper came up with the news of the alert. Guy after guy arrived at the newsstand, looked at the headline, laughed, and then turned to the racing news. Nobody believes Richard Nixon, even when he’s waving the atom bomb around. I mean, these guys really laughed. The paper said that American troops were on “general alert,” and the Strategic Air Command was flying around, doing their Jimmy Stewart act, and the Marines in the Mediterranean were in full combat gear, and leaves were cancalled, and they had closed off McGuire Air Force Base. It sounded like the missile crisis, or the end of the world, but New Yorkers were laughing. You saw images of stern Russian troops arriving in the desert, and the American Marines storming ashore, and shots fired, and laughter. missiles, and then “This guy is really unbelievable,” said a chuckling, heavy-set man named Alphonso Thomas. “I mean, he’d do anything to make us forget them tapes.” it.

I understand that the police in Japan make good use of those arts. On one occasion they used them successfully to disarm a hijacker. At any rate it ought to be looked into. John Myhill \ Professor of Mathematics Caucus answers II To the Editor I think I can answer for caucus members in to Friday’s article stating that an answering apparently apathetic Assembly passed the $217,000 athletic budget without a single question. To the charge that some soul-searching should be done, there was a great deal and it was decided by an assembly causus formed several days previous to the meeting, that the budget should be passed. Faced each year with the problem of hurrying through a thousand-line athletic budget, the Assembly took the initiative and formed a caucus. The caucus accepted the view of two finance committee members and informed caucus members that cuts to the budget would just be detrimental to this year’s athletics and not solve the real problem; so they drafted a motion calling for a solution of this yearly budget problem. This motion, acceptable to the president, treasurer and dissident caucus members, passed quickly. The Spectrum Howie Kurtz - - Advertising Manager Production Supervisor - Campus . .

He has finally bankrupted whatever reservoir of respect and honor comes from the simple fact of being President, He is perceived now for what he is; a man trapped in a bunker, lashing out, making plans and then cancelling them, seeking advice from mediocrities, flailling around for something large enough to scare Americans with, so that his own acts will pale by comparison. After all, what are some altered tapes compared with nuclear holocuast? What is a burglary at the Watergate compared with 100 million dead? The planes are back in the hangars, for the moment, and Nixon will no doubt go on TV and tell us how firm and steady and tough he was under pressure. But it’s a phony. Anybody could look good solving a phony crisis. Especially if you have the willing cooperation of your opponents. The audience doesn’t always know what they’re seeing, but Nixon is now so suspect that the audience is looking to yell at him even before he goes in the tank. It’s all over. It’s a bad act. And it’s time to get it off the boards forever. Parking complaint Note: This letter was sent to the Commissioner of the Buffalo Police Department. 1 just got through talking on the phone to one of the police officers at theSUNYAB campus about a parking ticket 1 was given this morning. 1 told him I didn’t think it was fair because 1 was a visitor to the campus attending a job interview. He said 1 should have parked in one of the 20 or so spaces reserved for visitors. I replied that those spaces were already filled and 1 was very confused by the enormity of the campus and so did not know where else to park but the Lockwood Faculty Lot which is below the visitors’ parking lot. He replied that I should have called his department and told them I was illegally parked. (Now really, how was 1 supposed to know that there was no sign indicating that.) 1 said I was calling him now to tell him and that I could give him the name of the person I interviewed with and the hours 1 was there. He replied that that was like calling after the burglary was committed. I quite hotly responded that I was neither a burglar or a law breaker, but that To the Editor: . Backpage whose two dosest advisors at the moment are an Army general and a former Disneyland guide. If you had something serious to do would you ask Ron Ziegler what he thought? And if you were in a domestic jam in a democracy would you have General Haig handle it for you? “Why believe him now?” a friend of mine said. “I mean, he’s in such bad shape now he can’t even keep his press conferences or make his speeches.” We’ve gone so far these days that when the President of the United States takes actions that could be the prelude to nuclear war, you look for some angle that involves domestic criminality. Clearly, Nixon would prefer to control the agenda of his next press conference, and have the reporters play his game with him, asking him about the Middle East and the Soviet Threat and all that jazz. Anything as long as they don’t ask him about the real reasons why he fired Archibald Cox, about ITT, the wheat deal, Rebozo’s hundred grand. It was no accident, I would presume, that Nixon’s 3 a.m. decision to place the American armed forces on general alert came after the early editions of The Washington Post carried a story about Bebe Rebozo and $91,000 worth of stolen securities he is alleged to have cashed, knowing they were stolen. Nixon has done worse things in his life than faking a crisiss. the proper number of parking spaces needed for visitors was not provided. I said I would not pay the ticket. He said I could wait three months and go to court (!) and tell the judge my story and that if the judge found me guilty and I still refused to pay a fine for a crime I did not commit, then the State of New York would refuse to reregister my car(!>. This all sounds like something out of Orwell’s 1984. It seems to me that if the Police Department wants to prevent law breakers, they ought to create more flexible and human laws, not to mention more visitors’ parking spaces in an area which is obviously short on them. 1 wouldn’t mind paying a parking meter even, but I do resent the black market price of $5 for 2 hours worth of parking. Enclosed is my check since it’s clear that by your rules I’m a law breaker. But I would appreciate a written response about what you’re going to do about this problem for other visitors to the UB campus. Sincerely, Barbara Ferraro Parking suggestions Scon Speed .

Managing Editor � — Friday, 2 November 1973 Editor-in-Chief � God knows what Americans think out there in the Beloved Heartland, but here in New York, it was some wierd day. Nobody I talked to believed what Nixon was doing. The details kept leaking out: Nixon meeting the National Security Council at 3 in the morning to respond to what turned out to be a rumor that the Russians were coming to the Middle East. The planes sent into the skies. Kissinger getting on TV with his usual exercise in ambiguity, explaining that Nixon was sending the planes into the air and placing troops on alert as “a precaution” and then trying to assure us that Nixon wasn’t really serious. It was like having an inside look at Creedmoor. The trouble is that Nixon’s little Presidential act is over now, and nobody will ever believe him again. Walking around Broadway yesterday afternoon, before the peacekeeping details were worked out at the U.N., you saw life go on. Nixon could tell you there was a Mongol horde on Forsyth St., and you wouldn’t bother taking a look. The New Yorkers I talked to yesterday didn’t really care. They’ve given up on this character. Some of them were just worried that he doesn’t pull a Samson routine, and pull the whole temple down with him. It could happen.

Open, green space around institutions is important to the city, and we object strongly to losing any more land on campus to parking lots, especially when the parking problem will be relieved in a few years with the move to the new campus. As interim measures, we suggest the following: 1. More stands for bikes. 2. No parking permits to anyone who lives close to campus and can walk. For example, Clem Colucci, a Spectrum Feature writer, in his “Outside Looking In” column of October 17, complained that it took him 40 minutes to find a parking space one day, and wound up parking on the street where he resides, Lisbon Avenue, which is two blocks from the Winspear entrance to campus. Why should anyone living so close drive in the first place? 3. Change the visitor-faculty lot to a preferred lot with plenty of spaces for any car with more than one person. This would encourage car pools and the picking up of hitchhikers who carried a sign where hitchhikers could congregate to get rides from again. 4. If the parking situation gets worse, a free jitney service in the immediate University area would probably cost less than a new parking lot.

As Michael interacts with the various forces attracting and it is — repelling his pinball id, the scenes flicker past in waves of electrifying acid-color. The directions of Michael's life flow freely from boyhood Charles Atlas-in-comic-books ads and sexual fantasies about his father and mother; to present day, post-adolescent whores and bars and bums and gangs, and he and Carol balling.

The Cleveland Quartet walked 135 in memory of Pablo Casals. This solemn, sorrowful movement perfectly expressed the feeling of unrecoverable loss experienced when Casals died last week. A profound silence filled Baird Halt at its completion. So began the fourth concert of the Slee Beethoven Cycle. The opening was a memorial to Casals' death; the rest of the program was a tribute to his life and creative spirit. First on the program proper was Beethoven's Quartet No. 11, Op. 95, in F minor. This key had dark associations for Beethoven and the piece as a whole conjured a sensation of struggle and of searching. After the intense questioning of the first three and a half movements, the presto finale resolved the strife much too easily. In this search for truth, the composer found that truth lies not in the final arrival but in the search itself. Spiritual - onstage Op. Bittersweet Next was Quartet No. 6, Op. 18 No, 6 in B-flat major. The Cleveland Quartet did a stunning job on this rhythmically animated work, especially in the confounding syncopated third movement and the brilliant coda of the fourth. Melancholy, represented by a four-note motive in the last mvoement, is triumphantly overcome. Quartet No. 15, Op. 132, in A minor completed the program. Contrast is a bsic element of this piece. The first movement plays humor and intorspection off one another. Subtle irony and inner conflict are both recurrent themes in Beethoven's work and the Cleveland Quartet has a finely honed feeling for expressing them. Profound lyricism and child like simplicity are juxtaposed in this piece and the overall effect is cosmically encompassing. The greatful serenity of the convalescent Beethoven was explored in the Lydian mode movement. All these contrasting emotions present quite a task for the interpreter but the Cleveland Quartet came through again to spark the audience to gushing applause. —Ken Licata The Revilot Lounge 257 E Ferry 886-8833 (Near Jefferson) APPEARING NOVEMBER 13 18 - EDDIE HARRIS Cover charge $3.00 per person Lounge open all week!

"Well, it was so well done, didn't you think so?" "Yeah. The only thing that bothered me was that not much happened." "Sure, but wasn't it well done?" "If it was scr well done, how do you explain them putting a plug in for their next movie right when you think you're about to part with them?" "Well, even the Swedes gotta make a buck some way." This conversation may have been a common one about six months ago. The film being referred to was The Emigrants, a Swedish import directed, photographpd, and edited by a very talented man named Jan Troell. It even was nominated, along with four other movies, for the Academy Award for Best Picture, only to be gunned down by the Italians and The Godfather. Plugged-up 'Emigrants: What concerns us here though, is not necessarily a flashbakc of "what were you doing in early 1973," but that little plug which was put in at the end of the epic. That ad has now materialized into a two-and-a-half hour sequel to The Emigrants, and is playing at the Holiday and Maple-Forest Theaters. Yes, The New Land has arrived. "Where The Emigrants left off. The New Land begins" could have been a very catchy slogan if not for the obviousness of the situation. The New Land takes up the struggle of Karl Oskar and his family in 1850 Minnesota, where they had just arrived last time we saw them. No matter what you thought of the first film, one must admit that this sequel comes off rather nicely. It, too, is very well done. There is a believable air to this pioneer study. Indians do not constantly massacre settlers, but are subtly present either in the form of distant campfires, or in brief face-to-face encounters featuring settlers giving what could be construed as peace offerings in a mutually suspicious atmosphere. ' There are no large conflagrations which destroy the hard up-hill fight. Survival here is portrayed as a hard long struggle, but one which is neither impossible nor is a snap with all of the Hollywood predecessor. 25<t Tequila night K Spectrum Film trimmings.

Jan Troell is truly a master at his craft. His very simple, no-fancy-effects photography style once again enhances the richness and falvor of the film. Scenes of children innocently playing in the fields, frontiersmen hurling their axes into the plush woods, and life in general pacing along have the same "no strings attached" air, which was so distinguishable also in The Emigrants. Follosing the Oskar family's struggle through the first twelve years in their new home, though interesting, is also depressing. Why Troell's films must have a depressing air to them is beyond me. It is a rather pessimistic outlook on life, if sadness is added in to keep things within reality. But it would be unfair to dub the whole film a "down-and-out" experience. Karl Oskar (Max Von Sydow) and his wife Kristina (Liv Ullman), through hard work, do manage to reap in the benefits, and through the years the farm is shown to expand from a simple log cabin to a multi-story house, a barn and many crops. Film strikes gold Highlighting the story is a segment which follows Karl's younger brother Robert (Eddie Axberg) and his friend's gold-hunting expedition. It embraces the best of both worlds. Not only does it depict the short-comings and hardships of the idealistic California gold prospector, but it empirically communicates with the audience utilizing dialogue to the bare minimum. If you want scenery, it is here. If you want credible action, it is here. If you want a well-done effort, it is that too. Yet on the other extreme, there was one segment, the blame for which has still not been placed. Originally, The New Land was produced as a three-and-a-half hour epic. Warner Brothers, the American distributor, clipped away one hour. This makes it difficult ot follow the underlying presence of the Sioux Indians. Dastardly no longer For a good part of the film, the Indians are not shown as a force which occasionally jumps up to confront the settlers, but rather as an omnipresent one. For this subtle portrayal of the American Indian, much credit must be given, since it successfully breaks away from the old dastardly Indian stereotype. Suddenly, however, from this omnipresence and the occasional Indian discussions among the settlers (which did seem to be obviously leading to something), we find ourselves not watching a Swedish family's fight for survival, but rather a short documentary showing the historical injustice of the white man to the Indian. It is true that the Sioux wars occurred in Minnesota during the time period being dealt with, but the attempt to enhance the film by including this fails miserably. A switch of scenes with subtitles, having nothing ot do with "our heroes," culminates in the hanging of 38 Sioux, which actually occurred in 1862. Sensational gloom ■ Whether this was Warner Brothers' or Troell's fault is unknown, but it is certain that the gloominess this scene added-to a film which was beginning to become very depressing already, was the equivalent of Ali McGraw's nude dive into a swimming pool a few years ago in Goodbye Columbus. Its sensationalism just did not mix. Uliman. Von Sydow and Axberg, as in The Emigrants, head an excellent cast. Dialogue (which was a hindrance since it all had to be dubbed into English) was not needed to a great extent, owing to the facial expressions and gestures of the actors, serving as a more than adequate media. Even with its shortcomings. The New Land is a very respectable sequel to its sister film, and like it, could receive a Best Picture nomination. One thing for certain is that Jan Troell is the best thing to come out of the Swedish movie industry in a long time. American film-makers could really take a lesson from him. After all, his films are not said to be "so well done" for nothing. �Bromberg, Watson mean fine pickin' As we slushed through the cold mud around the backside of Clark Hall; as we stood outside the stage little door entrance fingers (the photographer ruined a roll of film trying to get it out of the can we mournfully watched it hanging there, limply); well, friends, I wasn't sure.

As usual, KRC Associates were right on the ball with unbalanced monitors, feedback in grotesque proportions (I think every single mike fed back in the space of one song), and a PA that distorted everything.

Just fiddle guitar and very low bass, playing a slow, mellow number about a freight train. At all times, Bromberg had an amount of incredible concentration. It really seemed like he was hearing the horns, the fiddle, the bass and his own guitar all at once. As for the band, on the whole it was a very good with Jay Unger on fiddle and mandolin shining out.

Since the number of similarly enlightened men in the state appears to be countably oj) the fingers of one hand, he deputizes those few others and, sensing corruption in every state official right up to the Governor, tracks down all of the for people gambling, responsible prostitution, and illegal liquor in the county. And shoots them. Is this the stuff of which youth-oriented films are made? Mort Briskin, who wrote ahd produced Walking Tall, apparently believes it is. His assumption has been upheld by that eminent authority. Rolling Stone magazine, which voted this the "best American film of the year." A film in which a nine-yeal-old boy is given a rifle for Christmas ("Nothing wrong with guns, in the right hands," philosophizes Buford), in which every Mink hides two or three more of the sheriff's self-righteous murders, in which the mighty cause of "las and order" becomes a man's sole raison d’etre a film with all this and more, glorified by Rolling Stone ? Hey, what goes on here? Something strange and terrible, that's what. One possible explanation for this - interesting phenomenon is fairly harmless. The character of the loner, the man (almost invariably the man, in fact; this role has traditionally been considered very unfeminine) who is totally self-sufficient and, most important, a law unto himself, is an integral part of the Great American Myth. Buford Pusser (whose character was, incidentally, based on that of the reallife sheriff who served as consultant for the film) fits the mold perfectly. Disgusted after a five-year career as a professional wrestler during which he was never permitted to win an unfixed fight, he brings his family home to McNairy County to buy a house close to his parent'. Brought to the Lucky Spot Bar by an old high school friend, Buford (acted by Joe Ben Barker, who has the looks and all the down-home sincerity of a heavier Glen Campbell), starts what turns into a huge free-for-all by slamming his hands down on the wrists of a dishonest croupier. Four or five men finally succeed in grabbing him, while a thug with a switchblade slides up the heroic chest which will require two hundred stitches. Turning point Buford's career in law-enforcement begins almost as soon as his blood dries. When the once-friondly sheriff tells him that he's got no case against the men who took his station wagon, cut him up, and left him to die by the side of a nearly deserted road ("I always thought you purveyors of lethal got-gut whiskey and walked tall," he poetically reproaches other assorted horrors, all of whom are Sheriff Thurman "now I see you've learned occasionally kicking back. how to crawl"), he decides to take matters Granted only the most insignificant into his own hands. amound of authority, but backed up by his Brandishing a long club, Buford storms muscles and his gun, Buford vindicates not back to the bar. That club, by the way, only every middle-aged reactionary who remains his trademark until his incredibly yearns for a police state reeking of laws naive wife Pauline (played by Elizabeth and order, but also every college student Hartman, whose freckles make her look who wears an "Impeachment with Honor" about sixteen -r a good two years older button. than she often seems to behave) finally sanctions his use of a gun several No pussy footing bullet-wounds later. In the bar, he maims You and I can yell a lot, write letters to everyone but the cashier, from whom he our congressmen, maybe even march to has little trouble extorting all the expenses Washington this November 17.

This is not to say that he he forces the cahsier to sign a receipt doesn’t get his as well but even with his before he allows himself to pocket the family torn apart and his lacerated face money. From then on, as civilian and, in hidden behind a cast, he is at least the next reels, as sheriff, Buford plays by temporarily victorious. his own rules. As the last remaining villains of the into Lucky Spot bleed their way American way There is at least one much more extinction, the citizens of McNairy County ominous interpolation of what Mort light a bonfire of bar stools (never mind Griskin has given us in Walking Tall.

Under the Volcano. It is probably the last in a great tradition of tragic novels; Lowry believed in a coherent universal order, in the possibility and the importance of salvation. Both are necessary to the past century's tragic vision; both are rare in the modern novel. The novel is set in Quauhnahuac, a Mexican city that the Spaniards call Cuernavaca. Two volcanos, Popocatepetl and Ixtaccihuatl, dominate the landscape. The book follows the British Consul, Geoffrey Girmin, on the last the Mexican Day of the Dead. Firmin is a day of his life desperate alcoholic on the brink of the abyss. He is a quester after forbidden knowledge. His death unites the Sophoclean and Faustian tragic vision. It is an extraordinary book: the prose staggers and drunkenly poses, alternately achieving sublimity and absurdity. At times the language islsimple and stark, at times language itself is the morass of the soul. It is above all poetry a triumph of metaphor, of art. Malcolm Lowry, the book's author, was an alcoholic, a suicide. Under the Volcano is considered by many, one it is of the five major literary works of our century ranked with Ulysses, and The Waste Land. Lowry's other work is embarrassingly bad. Conrad Aiken, Lowry's mentor, suggested that Ultramarine, Lowry's first book, a metaphysical sea-novel, be retitled Purple Passage. Later works, posthumously published, are practically unreadable. Douglas Day has written Lowry's biography, a project he inherited from Conrad Knickerbocker. Knickerbocker committed suicide after two year's work on he hadn't begun writing, he passed on the book interviews and notes. Douglas Day can be held entirely — - - - responsible. "One afternoon, during a party in Stern's apartment, Lowry disappeared. Looking about for him, Stern opened the bathroom door. 'He was standing in front of the mirror,’ Stem recalled, 'snorting blood out of his nose, which he caught in his hands, which he thrust up to the ceiling and all over the wall, so that the whole place was red and white. He was in his singlet, staring at himself and blowing bubbles out of his nose and laughing to himself.’.. Then, propped up on pillows and smiling wanly but bravely (Margerie Lowry’s wife thought afterward it was the best thing she'd seen since Lowry received his visitors, who sat solemnly in a circle around his bed. From time to time Lowry would cough weakly and say, 'Well, perhaps you'd better get me a drink.’ Nothing at all was wrong with him, but it was, all agreed, a beautiful scene. . - — ’’ Day presents many of these anecdotes, ranging from the grisly and vaguely comic to the brutal, the pathetic, the obscene. I assume his picture of an alcoholic, strangely brilliant, alcoholic, obsessed, alcoholic Lowry is an accurate one. I was not far into the biography, though, before I began to suspect Day of a gloating dislike for Lowry. This dislike is implicit in Day's prose: "Of course, Lowry began drinking again," "Of course, the house was a "Predictably . ."Of course, Lowry whore house was dead." Even a cursory, disrespectful reader of Under the Volcano wpuld guess that Lowry was a serious alcoholic. A biographer is hardly needed to validate this, and questions of degree and extent are really peripheral. To write a biography of Lowry, the biographer must be convinced, one, that Under the Volcano is a masterpiece, two, that the failure of Lowry's other novels .. does not indicate a haphazard, strike-it-lucky-once mind, but instead reinforces the brilliance of the once central novel. (A sort of paradoxical point here. The garishness of Dark as the Grave wherein my Friend Is Laid, Lowry's posthumous novel, destroys the theory that The Volcano's interest lies solely in the circumstance of its author. Not every quirky individual novel by a quirky alcoholic-cum-mystic will be a masterpiece, or even interesting.) Day begins with these two suppositions, but he seems bent on emphasizing Lowry's destructive, suicidal aspects. How Lowry could have created Under the Volcano despite adversities is the question, not the precise nature of the adversities themselves. The man Day describes could easily attack his wife, attempt suicide, hallucinate, fear impotence, tell long and sometimes fascinating stories. On the other hand, one cannot quite imagine him possessing the stamina or the skill needed to write Under the Volcano. Day's passion is for the terrible truth. Though he is not to be faulted for this instinct, what emerges from it is a journalistic sleuth's tendency to make a beeline for scandal. Lowry was hardly a closet alcoholic. Day's is not a revelation that surprises. One wants to know just what the not the alcohol triggered that produced his subtle art records of day-by-day alcoholic consumption. Any sot can drink to excess. Any mind can go to waste. What gave this sot the odd sanction of grace? A portrait of Lowry as artist and alcoholic could, I think, have been produced, but probably not by Day. Oxford University Press, the publisher, claims that Day talked to nearly everyone who knew Lowry, and I don't doubt their claim. The result is a mountain of vivid anecdotes whose summit is the hospital, the gutter, the insane asylum. A less exacting interviewer and nothing eludes note-collector (hotel bills, hospital fees Day) might have thought more carefully about Lowry himself. — than six pages of epilogue. Deft. Day is inclined to accept Margerie Lowry's version of the suicide, "but there are still two or three worrisome points. For one thing, a visitor to the White Cottage is struck immediately by how tiny it is: their bedroom was small, and only a midget would require more than three steps to cross it in the direction of the hallway. The stairs which begin just at the doorway to the themselves bedroom are narrow and steep. From the bottom stair to the front door is perhaps one yard. It is difficult to see how Lowry, even drunk and angry as he surely was, could have failed to catch his wife before she escaped from the - — cottage." Worrisome indeed. A more astute literary sleuth wouldn't indulge these Sherlock Holmes inclinations at such silly length. Lowry's failure to murder his wife does not trouble me at all. Day is obsessed with things of this sort. I want to know the man who wrote Under the Volcano. I want to know why he believed in an ordered and coherent universe. How did the belief come about? Lowry's vision of Firmin (the hero of Under the Volcano ) as a lapsed "white wizard" does not really explain Lowry's interests in mysticism from the Cabal la to Hindu and Indian rites. This sort of lifelong obsession cannot suddenly be born in the course of writing a novel. Day's interviews with relations, barkeeps, and friends tend to trivialize Lowry's mind. Such a crowd of people offering opinions about Lowry makes the man himself recede into mists. Day's literary criticism seems on-base, but nothing new he points out the levels that Volcano functions on and summarizes plot at length. Since Lowry wrote solely about himself, certain factual details Day turns up create new resonances in the novels. Day's biographical prose is flat, often hokey. References to the "rag-and-bone shop of the psyche" and to Lowry and spouse's search for "fragments to shore against the ruin of their marriage" do not display erudition or wit. Rather, they trivialize great poetry. The critical voice jumps from "I" to "we" to "one," complicated by indulgences to the reader and footnotes that should be incorporated into the text. — - ". .. One is tempted to think of the painting of Albert Pinkham Ryder, the late nineteenth-cetnury American eccentric. The parallels are startling: the chronic eye infections in youth; the stuffy mercantile fathers; the habit of sitting abstracted for long periods; the writing of execrable poems (most of Ryder's were mercifully blown away by winds); the desire in both men to think of their works as musical compositions; and their lack of real technical ability. Neither Lowry nor Ryder was a "natural": it is said of Ryder that he never mastered his medium, only wrestled it into obedience; and the same might be said of Lowry.. A bit of phenomenological reasoning could have produced something more challenging that "Lowry was frightened of writing, or frightened of failing at writing; and drunkenness offered a good excuse for not writing and so not failing . . Lowry drank in order to avoid writing, sobered up in order to write, then drank to avoid writing . on.” This kind of rationale is used in an interesting way to explain Sylvia Plath's cycle of suicide attempts. According to those who admire Plath (I don't), each suicide attempt led to a higher artistic sensitivity; the higher sensitivity despaired of its artistic integrity and gave birth to a greater death-wish. Lowry's writing had gone downhill to steeply he couldn't, or at any (something Lowry clearly knew rate, didn't complete anything after Under the Volcano) that such a theory of drunkenness-and-creativity cycles seems beside the point. (Interesting note: The Times has gotten A. Alvarez, The Savage God himself, to review this and so — book.) After a few half-hearted barks at "those who still cringe at the introduction of psychoanalytic theory into literary biography," Day's proclamation of Lowry's "oral any alcoholic is an oral compulsion" has little bite Lowry is a word-drunk that points The further compulsive. that his interest in sea-voyage ties into his (!) writer, obsessive liquid intake, are simple-minded. Day nonetheless seems so surprised by his meager gleanings, congratulates himself so heartily for his psychoanalytic feats, that I suspect he really regards Freud's work as magic or voodoo. The most extraordinary bit of prestidigitation along these lines, though, involves Day's sudden decision to compare, using Lowry as a center, the Fruedian and Jungian attitudes toward the artist. This he does in less - Lowry Ryder is an extraordinary American artist arbitrary. Day goes seems comparison knew the him; never on to talk about the extraordinary amounts of revision both men performed. Here is the Day method in small: his interest is not in genius but in the impediments to it. His fascination with such impediments leads him to focus on scandal to the point that when he finally deals with Under the Volcano, the book seems extraneous to Lowry's life. — Day spends an awful lot of time on that "execrable verse." This leads the reader to disbelieve any claims for Lowry's the claims are not supported by genius Day may make his text. I think Day grew to roundly dislike Lowry. This renders his project senseless. Lowry is, after all, a minor - writer with one monumental novel. THe man who chooses tackle his life must do it as a labor of love. In the stunning final section of Under the Volcano, Firmin is mistakenly shot as a spy. He falls into the barranca the physicalization of his metaphorical abyss. The novel ends; "Somebody threw a dead dog after him down the ravine." Day's biography shows similar to — thoughful respect. —Michael Silverblatt According to caffeine, a The obvious implication here is that la combination*# remedies like ffer and an rffllffwjnrr address in your median^hest. clam make any sense* Friday, 2 November 1973 The Spectrum Page seventeen . . �Over the Rainbow Livingston Taylor (Capricorn) When guitar whiz Dave Bromberg was at the Fillmore Room last year, (te made a condescending wisecrack about how he had played the whole set without once playing James Taylor's favorite (and much repeated) guitar lick. Bromberg was so condescending he didn't even mention old JT at all. He just played us the lick that he didn't play us. Fellow guitar wizard Happy Traum, author of multitudinous folk guitar books, wrote a brief analysis of James Taylor's picking style for ari anthology of Taylor's sheet music. He calls Taylor's style "deceptively oomplex"-a phrase that is confusing, if not deceptive, itself. What Happy claims to have meant was that Taylor's work sounds simple but is really complicated. It can be assumed that Traum got a lot of money from Taylor's publishers for writing that piece. Considering that Taylor's repetitious guitar playing is the direct stylistic basis for most of his songwriting, he has to be careful not to be a parody of himself. But brother Livingston has got to try even harder not to be a parody of James, because he lacks James' redeeming virtue: a really fine basic writing talent. Seen from that perspective, Livingston Taylor's new album Over the Rainbow is a flop. Most of the cuts sound like his brother's songs, including the production and the vocals, most of Livingston's songs are uninspired. James and Carly Simon, now the Richard Burton and Elizabeth Taylor (oops) there's that name again) of pop music, appear in the opening cut, "Loving Be My New Horizon." The Taylor family sings the tune, a dose rip-off of Steve Stills' "Bluebird," in three-part harmony, and the song just doesn't lend itself well to that treatment. To make matters worse, the sound quality of the vocals is poor. Carly titters for us at the end, sounding like Joni Mitchell, who didn't take the Taylor brothers seriously either. Livingston does a cover of George Harrison's 1965 ditty, "If I Needed Someone," and it's a definitely bad version. Not a great vehicle in the first place, the song is robbed of its sparkle by a slow tempo and a woodwind section reminiscent of Harpers Bizarre. Who needs cute bassoon lines? This is not to say there are no high spots on the LP. His jazz waltz version of "Somewhere Over the Rainbow", while hardly an all-time great, is bright. The idea was bright, too. "Rainbow,” after 35 years, is still a fine song, all the better for its corniness. "Let Me Go Down" is the best of the remainder, which are all originals. Like Gilbert O'Sullivan's recent single, the title is only accidentally scatological. The production's dynamics have an effective rise and fall, the chord changes are changes in more than one way for Livingston, and he doesn't play guitar on it at all. James still could've written it, but it wouldn't have been one of his tired ones. Unfortunately, there is one last anticlimactic cut after that, "Oh Hallelujah." ft exhibits again all of the Taylor traits, and is again uninspired in its use of them. Except for a late-entering electric bass and the vocal, the only instrument is a piano, played by someone who apparently forgot to wake up that 8 H! morning.

Somewhere deep inside me I get sick whenever I hear them advertised the verbal embodiment of the nationalist revolt. It's just so much crap they are the rip-off. And you can bet I'm not going to be a sitting duck for all the anti-racist jobs that are probably fermenting. No, you won't Maddox me. And this time I will not be misinterpreted. This is truth: Spring of 1971, David Nelson, Gylan Kain, and Felipe Luciano (of the Young Lords), along with three percussionists, came to my high school. They no, it was the called themselves the Last Poets Original Last Poets. They did a set for us, reciting their poetry to the rhythms of the African drums, and it was tremendous, a tour de force of Blackness. It was raw, went through moods and changes, saddened, laughed, screamed, a total human experience, all with words. And at the end, they had something to say to us. It seems that at one time, the group was much larger. They performed around town in shit holes and went largely unrecognized, not the most commercial band of poets in the world. However, they built up a following, and eventually, they were contacted by a record company. Would you like to make a record? Some said yes, this is our chance, the rest said no thanks, we don't trust the man and we won't chance getting our art castrated for marketing by an establishment company. So there was a split. Some left, the others remained. The ones who left continued to be knows as the Last Poets and made the record and got the commercial push, etc. Cool. BUT There were now two groups with the same name. Because of contracts and legalities, this could not be. So who gets the name; The commercial Last Poets turned around and sued the original ones That's the way to treat a friend, right? So they are now called the Last Poets, and the other ones are called The Original Last Poets, and if you look closely at their album (they finally did get a contract, on Juggernaut records, and the album is called Right On!) there it is, stamped diagonally across the name Last Poets "Original." These other fellas. The Last Poets (unoriginal), and their album At Last, is a hunk of shit on the cob. That's about it, I guess. Who are you going to believe: Felipe Luciano or someone who's not Felipe Luciano? I mean he's a goddam hero. The Young Lords, you know? — — - ■Scluismeiileri *Li C*ful Superb sound. 3Ms finest.

Now honestly, what private eye keeps a detection lab in the reception area of his office? Steve orders the technician to "hop to it" and naturally, the man hops, bunny fashion, out of the room.

The only thing I liked about Faraday and Co. was one moment of intriguing musical score that sounded like a blending of flute, organ, and electronic sound. But then, my ears, have never been too good. If you're a women's libber, you'll hate Fred. He drags his wife around whenever the whim strikes him. Even worse, she obediently follows.

Rubin Spectrum Staff Writer The cross-country Bulls dropped a 22-34 decision to Brockport in their final dual meet of the season Tuesday afternoon. The loss gives Buffalo a 6-11 record for the season, slightly behind the 8-9-1 mark of last year. The Bulls were out of the race very early, even though they were not defeated* by a resounding margin. At the half-way point, Brockport had three runners leading the pack by a wide margin. (In cross-country dual meets, if the first three finishers are from the same team, a victory is assured.) At that point, Buffalo coach Jim McDonough said the Bulls had their “backs tou the wall.” Brockport wound up with four of the top five runners, as only A1 Vanderbrook was able to break through for Buffalo with a fourth place finish. Favorite’s role uncertain McDonough felt that the teams were evenly matched. The race was the only dual meet for Buffalo this year, and McDonough said as a result, “there’s less competition and more running on your own.” He expected the Bulls would have an advantage because of their familiarity with Grover Cleveland golf course. However, after the race, McDonough observed; “I think they’re better than us.” But he quickly added, “We tried our darndest.” It has been a trying season for Buffalo. McDonough said at the start of the year: “Our goal is to have a winning season and to improve on our eighth place finish in the state championships.” The first goal is now an impossibility, and the Bulls will have an extremely difficult task equaling last year’s performance at the New York State championships. McDonough predicted: “We’ll be lucky if we can beat one third of the (17) schools.” One of the reasons for Buffalo’s disappointing year was the numerous team injuries. Paul Carroll, Bob Cohen, Julio Rivera and Bob Curtis have all missed action during the season due to injuries. Curtis will remain on the sidelines for the N Y. State Championships tomorrow at Fredonia. Fourth> seeded Bulls are ready for tourney Buffalo soccer hopes in today’s 2nd annual SUNY Center tournament weren’t dampened by the curious pairings released by Binghamton soccer coach Tim Schum, director of the year’s tournament. In a mild surprise, Albany, with a 6-4-1 record and ranked 13th in New York State, was seeded first, and Binghamton, with aln 8-2 record and ranked 8th in New York, was seeded second. “We used the Sahler ‘rating system’,” said Schum. “We had 147 points, while Albany had 152.” In a more mysterious move, Buffalo was ranked fourth with a 4-4-2 record and 124 points, and Stony Brook, despite a 4-6-1 record, was seeded third with 130 points. Perhaps these seedings were arranged so Binghamton would avoid facing Buffalo in the first round, creating a rematch of last year’s championship game. “It should be Albany and Binghamton in the finals this year, but the Buffalo team looks strong and could surprise,” remarked Schum. “Overall, we’re stronger EXCLUSIVE SHOWING MORE imCEhor, m. oi “Fritz Tha Cat" than last year’s squad that finished first in the tournament,” continued the Binghamton mentor, “we have a more solid fullback line, and we’re scoring more, averaging five goals a game. We’ve scored 52 goals, and given up 15, eleven in losses to Oneonta (5-2) and Brockport (6-0).” Albany not Albany has played well lately, winning five of their last seven games. The Danes only recent losses came at the hands of third ranked Oneonta (2-1) and fourth ranked Brockport (1-0). “It’s a young team, with eight freshmen starting,” said Albany coach Bill Schieffelin. ‘They’ve matured quickly against the top teams. Of our 34 goals this year, 30 have been scored by freshmen. We have a well-balanced team, and we can substitute freely and it doesn’t seem to hurt us.” Third-seed Stony Brook will be led by Alex Tetteh and Scott Walsh. The Patriots come into the tournament looking for an upset. Scott Walsh is the Patriots’ leading scorer with five goals. Head coach John Ramsey said, “Our outstanding player is wing-fullback Alex Tetteh. Alex controls the team for us.” Stony Brook’s top effort this year was a 2-0 loss to Adelphi, undefeated and top ranked in New York State. Title up for grabs Ramsey feels the Chancellor Trophy which goes to the victors, is up for grabs this year. “In a two day tournament, 1 believe any team can win. We’re going up there to win, not just participate. Attitude and desire will be the most important factors, and with a little luck, anyone can win. 1 think it will be a hotly contested tournament, and I wouldn’t count anybody out. We’ll play them one at a time, and hope we win it all.” “It will be a very tough tournament, and anything can happen in a short tournament,” concluded Schieffelin, who’s first seeded Danes face the Bulls at 2 p.m. this afternoon Binghamton and Stony Brook square off at noon to open the tournament. The championship game will be tomorrow at 1 p.m., preceeded by the consolation game at 11 a.m. (x) MEHCAW WTEMOTm . TIME Magazine reports: PINK.

Financial aid programs have been to leave many designed students in deeply middle-class debt upon completion of their studies. Efforts are presently being renewed to drastically public tuitions at increase institutions in order to bring them in line with those charged by private schools. These revelations come at a time when rampant inflation has cut progressively deeper into family budgets. middle-class Cutbacks in financial aid programs and shifts in the types of aid available have left little support for anyone except the severely financially handicapped. “There isn’t any middle in America today,” wrote John C. Raines in a recent issue of The Christian Century. ‘There is a top and then there are all the rest of us pounding along on the endless stampede, wondering where we are going.” Under attack The major attacks on public education are coming from study groups dominated by business men, most of whom graduated from private colleges and are striving to save their floundering alma maters. The major effect of drastic increases in tuition would be felt by the middle-class, since officially-defined poor individuals are somewhat relieved of financial burdens by aid programs The Committee for EconoDevelopmic ment and the Carnegie Commission on EducaHigher tion, as well as the College Entrance Examination Board, have recently recomthat mended low-cost public colleges should become highcost institutions. Their major justification is the financial plight of private schools, supposedly caused by a to the student migration “inexpensive” public colleges and universities. “Instead of closing the gap between the price of public and private institutions, a dramatic increase in the public sector would be matched by the private colleges,” said a recent New York Times editorial. ‘The result would be leapfrogging inflation with middle-class students caught in the squeeze.” Promises unfulfilled The Times was skeptical about institutions] by continuing to give liberal subsidies to the needy is likely to founder on legislative realities. Once raised, tuition charges will stay high; student aid appropriations are subject to the fickle mood of legislatures.” Such arguments are borne out by past experience. Two years ago, when the State University of New York (SUNY) raised its tuition to the present levels, Chancellor Ernest L. Boyer defended the action by promising to push the State legislature to increase the ceiling for Scholar Incentive and Regents Scholarship awards. The legislature took no action. A Times article outlined three currently facing problems middle-class students seeking financial assistance; -“Students from families with incomes beyond the $12,000 to $15,000 range are now almost entirely excluded from four of the five [federal] programs, financial need being the sole criterion and scholastic achievement having no bearing.” Emphasis on poor -“The “Guaranteed Student Loan Program,’ the only major federal plan in which students of the economic middle class have had almost any hope of is now also participating, increasingly concentrating on the The Spectrum State University of New York at Buffalo Vol. 24 No. 29 Wednesday, 31 October 1973 Tuition increase Faculty, students organizing toformally protest any hike by Amy Dunkin Campus Editor Tuitions in public colleges should be more than doubled in the next five years, the Committee on Economic Development (CED) recommended in a report last year. Calling the present system of public education in which tuitions average “only” around $600 a year unfair to both private colleges and the poor, the influential business-oriented research group echoed similar opinions advanced by the Carnegie Commission and the College Entrance Examination Board. Outraged faculty and students have contended the proposals arc in line with the policies of the Nixon Administration, which has repeatedly demonstrated its preference for national defense over education. — — Attempting to formally organize protests against the possibility of tuition increases as outlined in the CED report, as well as other cutbacks in quality education, the Committee for the Democratic Development of the University (CDDU) at the State University of Buffalo has been gathering information to generate awareness of these problems. CDDU was formed last year when Mitchell Franklin, a popular professor of Philosophy here, was told he would not be rehired because he had reached the mandatory retirement age of 70. Arguing that such State University policies inhibit education growth, CDDU felt the only way to offer effective opposition was by organizing student, faculty and staff groups. Middle class responsible The rationale behind the CED proposals is that the costs of higher education are rising, and since middle-class students benefit the most from education, they should bear the burden of the financial responsibility, said Philosophy professor James Lawler. The CED document hypocritical for attempting to “solve the crisis of private institutions Lawler said. Foreseeing a sharp decline in college enrollment if tuition increases, he noted that Millard Fillmore College, basically attended by working people, suffered a 7 to 8% drop in enrollment for that reason. The CED proposals arc “simply another effort to return college education to the days when it was available only to a financially privileged few,” said David Selden, President of the American Federation of Teachers. Mr. Selden attacked the report as “coming from a group of corporation executives with salaries in excess of $75,000 a year.” The average person paying college tuition “knows it is too high relative to his or her family’s income often more than 20%,” he noted. already Other CDDU charges were directed at corporate - whose companies “employ college graduates without having to pay the cost of their training.” “Under the protection of the Nixon administration, corporate profits have soared while inflation eats away at the incomes of the majority of the population incomes locked in place by wage freeze policies,” according to CDDU. executivew - Javits unopposed Sen. Jacob Javits (R., N.Y.) has stated on television that he would not oppose the CED recommendation Instead, he will direct his efforts to making more loans available by supporting a raise in interest rates on student loans from an “unreasonable” 3% to a “reasonable” 5%. Unless banks get higher interest rates, they will not increase their loan money, Dr. Lawler explained. However, CDDU does not accept Sen. Javits’ suggestion, asserting:. “As job possibilities become more and more uncertain, more students will begin their careers saddled with heavy debts.” The CED report also met with approval by the Association of American Colleges, which represents 800 mostly private colleges and universities. CDDU is calling for “real solution,” to be applied in such a way that the University does not appear to be defending a narrow interest of its own, but the right of the majority of the population to higher education. “Don’t think the solution is to ask students to pay more tuition, or even to increase the average taxpayer’s taxes,” Dr. Lawler said. Advocating a substantial cut in military spending, CDDU supports the transfer of the “enormous resources of this country from the production of the instruments of death to the enrichment of the minds and culture of the majority of the population.” In addition, it demands the creation of an “Emergency Corporate Education to tax the “record profits being made from skyrocketing prices” so that corporations contribute a fair share to the rising costs of education. Tax” Declining enrollment One CED proposal, aimed at faculty, urged that no more than 50% of the faculty should benefit from the protection of tenure. “It is obvious that higher tuitions will produce declining rates of enrollment, and this in turn will make faculty more and more expendable,” according to CDDU. It therefore feels the most important way to oppose the recommendations is by uniting undergraduates, graduates, faculty, staff, along with blacks and other although the law says neediest all income groups are eligible.” -‘The new ‘Basic Opportunity Grants’ (BOGs), which were created to provide a $ 1,400 floor for full-time and part-time undergraduates of the most backeconomically-deprived grounds, have received only enough funds to offer maximum grants of $452. Moreover, this year sufficient funds to make the grants available this year to sophomores, seniors, juniors or part-time freshmen.” The four programs unavailable — —continued on page 14— by making them more competitive with public institutions,” believe Dr. Lawler and CDDU. Although the proposal specifies that large grants be available for students whose parents earn less than $4000 a year. Dr. Lawler said working-class people in genera] will suffer tremendously. CDDU emphasized: “Public education is without economic discrimination. But these grants will not significantly increase the educational opportunities of the poorest. On the whole, the doubling of tuition will make higher education for children of working-class and moderate-income families a thing of the past.” “All cutbacks create divisions between people who fight in common, because middle-class students think they are losing out to minorities,” added Dr. Lawler. Situation worsens ‘The situation of the middle-class is getting wbrse as it gets saddled with more debts,” Dr. minorities. What impact the CED report will have on New York State public schools is not yet certain. The Professional Staff Congress of the City University of New York (CUNY) has vehemently objected to any tuition charges in the now tuition-free CUNY. A spokesman for SUNY Chancellor Ernest Boyer’s office said before any position is taken by the SUNY system, the 'CED proposals must be thoroughly researched. “SUNY would be failing in its mission if it did not make educational opportunities available to the most students,” emphasized Richard Gillman of the central SUNY office in Albany, however. Referring to the tuition increase of two years ago, which raised charges from $400 to S6S0 for lowerclassmen and $800 for juniors and seniors, Chancellor Boyer’s spokesman said the raise was implemented solely becuas of increased costs with no accompanying increase in state aid, thus leaving SUNY with less money. He asserted the increase was not designed to make tuition at public universities and colleges more competitivee with private schools. �Law school grads shun legal aid, seek prest’ e and money by Richard Deep Staff Writer 1 v - 'A ?, ' " salary pf $10,000 or more.

Toll, reserving judgment on a final decision, has denied that firearms will be issued under present: circumstances. The incident is likely to have some effect on the current controversy over arming campus security, according to Jonathan Salant, news editor of Stony Brook’s campus newspaper, The Statesman. Mr. Salant did not believe that Polity Student Council would change its stand against the arming. However, he did feel that “many students are reassessing their positions in the light of the armed assault.” The Statesman has not yet decided whether to change its editorial position against selectively arming campus security on the Stony Brook campus.

Spectrum A vast majority of law school gradutes will shun legal aid and social service practices for high salaries and prestige positions, according to a recent report in the Student Lawyer. The report was based on a 1971 survey by Theodore Becker and Peter which Meyers, investigated the notion that most lawyers planned altruistic careers. Messrs. Becker and Meyers, both law students themselves, surveyed 3400 students from the six Chicago area law schools. Their conclusion: “It seems that law students don’t really give a damn about social services.” Thirty-one per cent of law students responding said they would prefer to do some legal aid after graduation, but few wished to continue it throughout their careers. Only 23 per cent would prefer this work after two years, and only 13 per cent intended to remain in social service after five : : years of practice. A corresponding trend was seen in the percentage of students who said legal aid work would be a career. unsatisfactory as cent of those Thirty-one per aid legal would polled reject any this practice upon graduation; number increased to 54 per cent after five years and 6l per cent after ten years of practice. Law students at the State University of Buffalo, however, seem more inclined towards legal aid and social service practices, at least for a few years after graduation. Only one of the students interviewed by The Spectrum had any thoughts of making a career out of social service, but all said they would work in that area for a few years after graduation. Of those not planning to make a career of it, none would work in social service or legal aid practices for more than five years. f In the Becker-Meyer survey, an overall 66 per cent of those polled expected an average starting income of 510,000; only 6 per cent would settle for less than that figure. Of the law students interviewed here on campus, 80 per cent are expecting a starting Stony Brook . Students 50c Tickets Norton Hall Ticket Office; �French and SIP dept. controversy goes on Opposition has been raised to the proposed merger of the French Department and the Spanish, Italian and Portuguese (SIP) Department into a single Department of Romance Languages by the Graduate Student Association (GSA) and Student Association (SA). “It is our position that we are unequivocally opposed to the and,,, feci proposed merger obligated to strongly work against such an amalgamation,” said SA President Jon Dandes. ‘The main reasons put forth by the Provost’s Office in favor of a merger are GSA emphasized political,” French Department President Michael Jackman. Fresh start The proposal was made by Faculty of Arts and Letters Provost John Sullivan in the Annual Report to the Faculty issued in August. A “fresh start” was foreseen by Dr. Sullivan for the French and SIP Departments, which have been plagued by internal difficulties. It would “seem a bad percentage to join two troubled departments in hopes of forming one successful one,” Mr. Jackman retorted. Due to a shake-up last year in the SIP Department, it has fewer tenured faculty members than the French Department. SIP President Dorothy Rissel asserted that the merger will reduce the chances for advancement for her department’s junior professors. Dr. Sullivan labeled this an “unreal fear,” adding that the proposed merger might even help junior SIP professors. He did not elaborate. Creativity stifled The French and SIP Presidents both felt the merger would stifle the creativity and individuality of their departments. Dr. Sullivan, however, believes the union will give the departments a chance to attract a chairman of national prominence and give all parties an opportunity for growth. This was “only a chance” but might be worthwhile to try, he said. the “The and political academic reasons for the merger cannot be separated,” said Dr. to GSA Sullivan, replying criticism that academic concerns were not considered in the proposal. “Both GSA and SA have gone to great lengths to reach out and study opinion, and it has been no,” said SA President Jon Dandes. If the proposal is widely opposed, he will not press for its Sullivan implementation, Dr. conceded. “1 am very open to other solutions to the problem,” he added. Je nsen Tenure review SA executive committee votes for students on board A proposal to place two students on the Presidential Review Board for tenure was unanimously passed by the Student Association (SA) Executive Committee Monday. The two students, one graduate and one undergraduate, would be non-voting members of the committee. The Review Board, which presently consists only of tenured faculty members, handles all appeals on the proposed tenure of an instructor. 1 ‘ Most of the discussion centered around the “non-voting” clause of the proposal. Asking that the students have a vote, it was felt, would provide the grounds for the biggest opposition from the Faculty-Senate Executive Committee, which must ultimately approve the proposal. The major arguments against student representation on the committee are that they are too transitory, incompetent to judge faculty requirements, and too immature to hold the Review Board’s proceedings in confidence. Keep them honest “Non-voting is not a bargaining issue,” said SA President Jon Dandes. ‘Their [the students’] purpose is to keep the committee honest.” The proposal calls for* the Student Association to submit five or six names of students it would like to see on the Review Board. University President Robert Ketter would then select two of these students. The proposal must now be passed by the Student Assembly next Tuesday, and ultimately by the Faculty-Senate Executive Committee. A back-up doctrine is currently being formulated to require that all student opposition to the Board's decisions be presented, in writing, solely to President Ketter. The use of Clark HaD for SA-sponsored speakers was also discussed. Current University regulations prohibit the use of the gym between October 15 and March IS for other than athletic purposes. Stiff fee In a “compromise” worked out between the Speakers Bureau and the Office of Facilities Planning, Clark Hall will be available for speakers Lester Maddox, William O. Douglas, Leonard Nimoy and Thomas Eagleton. It will also cost the Speakers Bureau an extra $200-$300 per speaker for “set-up and break-down expenses.” The Maintenance Union will not allow students to do this work. The executive committee was told by Mr. Dandes, who was notified by President Ketter’s Arming Sub-Committee, that they would have until December I to submit comments and suggestions on the recommended guidelines for selective arming of Campus Security. Possible suggestions are presently being drawn up. Other matters discussed were this weekend’s meeting of the Student Assembly in Albany, and where former Assistant Attorney General William Ruckelshaus will speak when he visits this University next week. Suggestions were made to have him speak at Rotary Field. He is presently scheduled to speak from behind Norton Hall at noon next Monday, November 5. No decision was made on Rotary Field.

Mr. Volkert, himself a plurality of less than 300 votes, and entering the realtor, places a large portion of the blame on heavily-Democratic Common Council. Although a absentee landlords who reap considerable profits first-term minority councilman is bound to have a from student tenants while neglecting to maintain certain amount of difficulty in making his influence their properties. The way to remedy this problem is felt, Mr. Volkert is proud of his achievements. Mr. to enforce housing and structural codes which forbid Volkert has addressed himself to issues that relate to occupancy in such deteriorated residences. Mr. both the community and the city as a whole. His Volkert realizes the great inconvenience that this poses to students, but feels it is unfair to them to position on several of these issues are as follows. Community Center: During his first term of have to live in such deteriorated housing. He points office, Mr. Volkert negotiated the acquisition of the to a number of instances in which the landlords took old Iroquois Gas Company building on Bailey prompt action to repair their property when Avenue for the city. The building was turned over tq threatened with the eviction of their tenants and a the city as an outright gift by Iroquois Gas. As 1( councilman from the district, Mr. Volkert received a good deal of favorable publicity. The proposed plans for the center call for a place where civic and community groups can meet and organize. Its funds have been frozen by Mayor Makowski, but Mr. Volkert predicts that this is only a temporary move prompted by political expediency. He maintains that the opening of the center would result in an excess of press coverage for him, and that the Democrats have withheld the funds because it would hurt the chances of their candidate. Community Involvement: Mr. Volkert sees the community as the core of city organization. He favors a strong local organization of interest groups, but feels that they should remain free from his influence. He views these organizations as crucial in the expression of community interest, and feels that they operate best when free from political control. Education: The central school board has thrown the schools of this city into a cesspool,” the councilman believes. Describing the problems which he sees as crucial to education, Mr. Volkert feels that commuiuty is the best a form of education. He is strongly opposed to busing students across community lines. Buffalo’s schools have yet to be desegrated along mandatory state guidelines, which is largely because the state Board of Education has not drawn up a workable plan. Mr. Volkert’s solution to the “cesspool” predicament of the city’s schools is to work to improve each and every school. He emphasizes the importance of local education and favors it over any city-wide plan. No student should be made to suffer the impediment of an inferior system of education, Mr. Volkert said. Convention Center: Mr. Volkert supports the proposed Center, but not its designated site. He sees the Convention Center as a commitment to Buffalo’s future and feels the municipal government must take steps to insure the future of their city. Mr. Volkert supports the encouraging of business interests within the city. He sees business as an important factor that benefits the people by creating jobs and bringing money into the area. The councilman promised to work 'closely with the business community for the betterment of the entire city. Amherst Rail Line: Mr. Volkert supported the not currently being enforced. Mr.Volkert said he proposed rail link to the northern suburbs, but believed that students should be free to live as they stipulated that it must be built underground to be want, and that their personal lives are their own truly effective.

He has said his campaign is designed to seek “authentic involvement by communities in decisions directly affecting them” Here are his stands on the issues. Mass Transit : Mr. Price feels that underground transit is the only way that mass transit should be built in Buffalo. He is diametrically opposed to turning the Kensington swimming pool and Manhattan Playground park into a parking lot. Mr. Price is seeking to construct a transit system that will rebuild and renew the life of the city’s neighborhoods. He is adamant that the city’s communities should not be tom up and paved over for the sake of suburban development, and points to the rejection of the environmental impact study on the transit system by a bureaucrat in Washington as evidence of the short-sightedness in City Hall. Convention Center. “1 am not supporting the proposed convention center.” Mr. Price feels that the $2.5 million expenditure for the land is too high. Additionally, he believes the planners made “no effort” to communicate with various communities as to their feelings on the Center. As to the proponents who claim the city’s tax base will increase by 1980, Mr. Price said: “There are some communities that can’t wait ’till 1980.” Additionally, Mr. Price claims that the “downtown power structure” is not committed to balanced neighborhood development; instead they are assuming the decline of the city is inevitable, and are seeking to develop the suburban areas where the money in the downtown areas comes from, the Democrat maintained. University District Community Center Terming the Iroquois Gas building a “white elephant” that Iroquois Gas couldn’t sell for three years, Mr. Price found many faults with the proposed establishment of the community center. [Mayor Makowski has suspended the contract establishing the center.] “The building was too small for a district running from Bailey to Delevan; the city might think it was released from its obligation to the community by initiating the center, and the director was Volkert’sman,” Mr. Price said. However, he felt such a center would be a way of “closing the gap between people and government,” and it would, provide a means of achieving “legitimate commuqjty involvement” that does not come from “the : by Marc Jacobson and Michael O’Neill Spectrum City Staff This year’s race for University District Councilman is being contested between Republican incumbant Charles A. Volkcrt and Democratic hopeful Bill Price. Unfortunately, neither man appears to be the ideal councilman for the University District. One must recognize that the University is the third largest economic resource in the entire Buffalo area, Community involvement could be obtained by “delegating authority to a more decentralized structure,” said Mr. Price, suggesting structure should be composed of community people. The community should define its own priorities and create community planning boards to determine those priorities, he advised. Referring to the question of revenue sharing, Mr. Price felt this source of funds would be ideal for funding a new''* community center. In the past, he said, any community input on revenue sharing expenditures was lacking. He deemed such input very important for the University district. Model Cities. Mr. Price said he was “appalled” by President Nixon’s lack of committment to the cities, as evidenced by his statement last year that “the urban crisis is over.” The Democrat urged additional funding, terming the overall Model Cities project, even considering its faults, to be “good.” University Cooperation: Professors are in a good position to “aid the situation” in the district by speaking with about both the community groups University-community relations and the individual professor’s field of specialization, Mr. Price said. He would utilize the various campus publications to increase communication, and when elected would “go immediately to the Dean’s office and arrange to have three interns work in my office.” Busing: “Busing is not an issue in this campaign,” Mr. Price said. He feels there is no political support anywhere in the Buffalo community for forced busing. Blacks don’t support busing any longer either, he maintained, pointing to the fact that many black communities are unsure of the proper method to insure a quality education. Housing: The University and the City have apparently made “a deal,” according to Mr. Price, so that there will be sufficient housing in the city fo students. (A Buffalo housing ordinance states that no more than two unrelated persons may live together in the same house.) The deal is that there will be no enforcement of the codes in order to facilitate the housing of students. For this reason, Mr. Price contends, the landlords are packing students into houses at $75 per person, making 300% Mr. Volkert has stated that he has worked with the University in the past, primarily through President Ketter’s office. Although this cannot be denied, its effectiveness can certainly be questioned. There are over 21,000 students at this University, and that number is increasing annually. To work closely with a small number of administrators does not constitute cooperation with the majority of University-related people. Mr. Price has pledged to work closely with the student body. Mr. Price has also promised to work with to represent their interests. He views the role of city councilman as being a leader within the community and a voice on the major issues of the times. He sees local public interest groups as community groups Commentary and a large percentage of the district’s population is closely tied to the University in one form or another. Students, faculty and staff all live within the district, and a very large percentage of the business in the providing an effective expression of community opinion, and hopes to stimulate the development and operation of such groups. Mr. Volkert also feels that community organizations are an effective means of expressing local opinion, but believes they should be allowed to develop community is directly dependent on student and faculty spending for their very livelihood. The interests of the University community have not been properly represented in the Buffalo Common Council. For the last two years, Councilman Volkerl has devoted must of his time to fostering business interests and Community interest, while largely neglecting student interests. Mr. Price, on the other hand, has addressed himself directly to the issues which under their own initiative. He has chosen not to become directly involved in the formation of their opinions, but chooses instead to convey these opinions to the Common Council."In view of the fact that people are naturally apathetic toward many political issues, an effective leader must stimulate action and involvement in the community. enough. Price to work fuD-time Mr. Price has raised the issues of “full-time vs. concern students. The need for concern and involvement such as Mr. Price’s cannot be emphasized profit, and are doing nothing to maintain the houses. His proposals to remedy the situation would involve bringing together a group of students, legal aid students at the University, and community members to establish a concept on what the housing laws should be. With that concept, he then would go to the Common Council with solid backing from the students and community, plus the necessary legal arguments, to create a viable system. “Then with this system, we can to a more decentralized structure,” said Mr. Price, suggesting that the structure hit the neighborhood with strict code enforcement,” Mr. Price said. part-time councilman.” He has pledged to be a full-time councilman, charging that Mr. Volkert has no such total committment. Mr. Volkert is a realtor, owner of a modeling agency, and has other business interests as well. Considering the scope and depth of the problems facing both this district and the city as a whole, an effective councilman must devote his full time to his elective office. While determined to be a leader in the University community, Mr. Price seeks to become involved with issues that are not directly related to the University District. He is concerned with a great many national issues, and while it is fashionable to have opinions on these issues, it is crucial that these not take precedence over the issues directly related to his office. The effectiveness of any councilman will be measured by his ability to work with the rest of the Common Council. In this regard, Mr.Volkert has shown his ability to compromise and get his resolutions passed. Mr. Price is extremely dogmatic about his stands, and seems unwilling to compromise away any of the community’s needs or the stands on issues he has taken. The positions of the candidates on issues concerning the University and students should be the major determinant in deciding for whom an individual will vote. Students should keep in mind the importance of developing and maintaining good relationships with the neighboring community, and cast their vote for the man who most closely allies himself with these goals: That man is Bill Price. Wednesday, 31 October 1973 The Spectrum Page five . . �DITQRIAL Price for University councilman goes beneath campaign rhetoric. Not interested in downtown convention centers and banks, he sees the city's power structure as unconcerned with community development, and therefore advocates grass roots community action to revitalize the University District He proposes the formation of community planning boards and block associations to allow neighborhood citizens to determine their own priorities. He calls for neighborhood service' including local police, parks and councils to identify problems, set sanitation officials complaints, coordinate hear citizen priorities, services, and use their organized strength to influence the administration of city services in this — - neighborhood. Mr. Price advocates upgrading shopping areas with additional lighting, trees, needed renovations. He asks that certain police teams regularly patrol the same neighborhood, to develop an understanding of its problems, and proposes that groups of citizens be property trained for block security programs designed to reduce crime. His stance that "busing is not an issue" is regrettable, but he has advanced education ideas such as keeping certain schools open and staffed at night for recreation and adult education programs. The Democrat has proposed property tax reform and strict housing code enforcement to stem urban blight, but he is quite sympathetic to the lack of student housing unlike Mr. Volkert, whose vocal opposition in March 1972 all but destroyed any chance for repeal. ‘LOOK—NICE TAPES—OKAY.

Their attempt to aid private schools by inflating public tuition is reminiscent of President Nixon's tactic of fighting inflation by vetoing a higher minimum wage and aid to the handicapped and underprivileged as "inflationary." Similarly, in the name of equality, these proposals would place any kind of higher education beyond the reach of all but a privileged few. Three years ago the tuition at this State University was a yearly $400; it is now $650 and $800 for lower- and upper classmen respectively. No increase in Regents Scholarship or Scholar Incentive awards accompanied that tuition hike. Thus four years of attending the State University now costs $2,900 instead of $1600. The increase is multiplied when parents footing the bill must send more than one child to college. When parental inability forces the student to finance his education himself, he either must work while he goes to school, if he can find a job, or take out large loans which leave him in heavy debt when he graduates. What is needed is a greater awareness, in the State Legislature and in the Congress, of the increasing inability of the middle-class student to afford a college education. Financial aid and award programs for middle-income families are most sorely needed. While financial assistance for lower-income students must take priority, the needs of that group are at least keenly recognized; but since being middle-class is defined as being financially secure, legislators have not yet woken up to the altered reality that college has become an over-priced Females .Bob Budiansky Dave Leibenhaut . — — A'tdhdefntd doitn resident private schools to raise their fees in turn.

The word poverty usually connotes decrepit houses, little food and unsanitary conditions. But in these days of rampant inflation and soaring costs, where a simple bout in the hospital can wipe out a year of family savings, the entire concept must be redefined. Perhaps being poor can be broadly described as not having enough money to meet all the needs of one's family. And while food, clothing and shelter are the ’traditional basic needs, most parents certainly feel a college education is necessary for their son or daughter to have a chance of succeeding in the competitive world. Realistically, sending one's children to college, once considered a luxury, has become a basic need, It is difficult to arouse many sympathies for the financial woes of the middle class. Sure they have it who doesn't? but not as tough, people say tough as poor people. But when it comes to higher education, lower-income students are eligible for a host of awards and waivers, but for middle-class students, it's no soap. We do not suggest for an instant that the awards presently available to lower-income students be diverted elsewhere those monies are going where they are most severely needed, which is as it should be. The refuge for the middle-class taxpayer's children has become the low-tuition -pdblic colleges, supported largely by middle-class tax dollars. But a flurry of misdirected recommendations, urging that public tuition be more than doubled to relative parity with private tuition, threatens to seal off that one remaining avenue. The argument that private colleges are losing students to the cheaper public schools is based on misconceptions. Public universities exist not to compete with private schools, which by definition cater to the privileged elite, but to provide a college education for those who cannot afford private fees. If private institutions are really in financial trouble, they might easily dispense with a few extras and lower their costs to attract more students. But to argue that doubling public tuition would divert students to private school is circular; substantial public tuition hikes would simply prompt ‘ - . When students living off-campus were harassed and served eviction notices a year-and-a-half ago. a contingent of University students argued before Buffalo's Common Council in March 1972 that the archaic housing ordinance prohibiting more than two unrelated persons from living together was not only unconstitutional and an illegal restriction of lifestyles, but that its enforcement would aggravate the already-crucial University housing situation and place over 5000 students on the street. After several informative and persuasive presentations. University District Councilman Charles Volkert stood up and proceeded to denounce the students living in his district as irresponsible, disruptive and noisy, citing numerous instances of garbage infractions and citizen complaints, and insisting that this behavior characterized a large percentage of students. Before students could respond to his many false allegations, he got up and left the room. Any chance for repeal had been quashed. The housing crucnh is worse now; Mr. Volkert, a Republican, is running for re-election. Now he says the ordinance is probably unconstitutional, that students should be allowed to live their lives, failing to explain why he denounced students and opposed its repeal at that meeting. It is clear Mr. Volkert is totally umsympathetic to the problems of University students. His idea of cooperation with this school is to make occasional contact with Dr. Ketter's office. But even for non-University voters, Mr. Volkert's record is a dismal one. "One of the Council's most negative and divisive members," the Buffalo Evening News aptly assessed, Mr. Volkert owns a real-estate business, a modeling agency, and is involved with other businesses; in short, he is a part-time councilman at best whose priorities are dominated by business. While he advocates improving "each and every" community school, he lacks any concrete plans on education, and is similarly ill-equipped on housing and other community issues. ■i In marked contrast to this part-time businessman. Democrat Bill Price is an intelligent young lawyer who knows the community's.problems and has concrete proposals for change. In fact, he is one of the few politicians in Buffalo whose thinking Sports The Spectrum is served by United Press International, College Press Service.

All kidding aside, this is for real. At the risk of sounding like our esteemed editor, 1 must confess at the outset that I got this idea from James S.

Select the lettered pair which best expresses a relationship similar to that expressed in the original pair. COMPETITION: AMERICAN EDUCATION a) SAT’s: college b) LSAT’s: law school c) GRE’s: graduate school d) MCAT’s: medical school The correct answer to the above analogy should be evident to all. Even if you weren’t part of the No. 2 pencil-laden herd who suffered through GRE’s this past Saturday or the LSAT’s the Saturday before last, you could easily recognize that all of the answers are correct. Standardized tests are merely a reflection of American education’s distinguishing characteristic: competition. Competition is emphasized in school from the time you bring in a “better” show-and-tell artifact than the rest of your kindergarten class to the day you receive yow PhD and start handing down grade rewards yourself. As the analogy goes; To get into the college of your choice, you must not only take the SAT’s but you must score well. Likewise, to “make it” in the education world, you must not only compete, but compete aggressively, sometimes ruthlessly and ; constantly. Grade-grubbing and brown-nosing are merely novice forms of competition when compared to the tooth-and-nail, fight-to-the-finish attitudes which obsess LSAT or GRE test-takers. The combat starts months before the actual test date. Students usually enter pre-test training by purchasing a sample test book. With this piece of equipment, they drill and exercise their brains, their weapons in the test wars. Prospective test warriors try to strengthen weaker fronts. In the GRE battle, English majors review the Pythagorean theorem, while Engineering students memorize the antonyms of “peccadillo” and “calumny.” Some test soldiers, the weathicr and/or more desperate, enter special training camps. For $100 or more, the student troops can practice battle maneuvers in trial test settings. The distinguished leader of the LSAT camps, Stanley Kaplan, reportedly gives the most authentic simulation of the battlefront action. Peculiarly, as T-day (test-day) approaches, there is a marked decrease in cooperative feelings among the troops. The “we’re in this mess together” sentiment radically changes to an “everyone for themselves” attitude. Often, test-takers are known to refuse supplies to fellow students; review books, training camp information and tips from those previously engaged in the battle are routinely withheld as top secret. When the test day arrives, all participants are apprehensive. Prior to entering battle, the test-takers reflect: “The outcome of the next three hours may change the rest of my life.” As they file into the test area, they peruse the battlefield, reassuring themselves by singling out at least one fellow battler who appears dumber and therefore, weaker than themselves. As the proctor signals the test start, all are without allies; everyone is viewed as someone to beat. Six weeks later, the victors receive their spoils; a LSAT score of 670 is socially acclaimed by law schools and less fortunate test-takers alike. Erroneously, a recipient of such a score is termed “smart” or “intelligent” rather than labelled more accurately “good competitor” or “successful conformist.” Certainly, the high test scorer may be “smart,” but the high score is more a function of competitive astuteness than of intelligence. Standardized tests demonstrate only a small part of “competition as America’s primary educational tool.” Grades exemplify traditional education’s philosophy of pitting one student against another, rather than dealing with individual minds and interests. Some may argue “competition is the American way.” Conventional theory says competition is a fact of life which must be learned thoroughly and early in life. While this is a sad commentary on American life, it is true that competition is the lifeblood of this culture. There is a “rat race” which all must face sooner or later in life. But imposing a replica of the rat race into the school system, based on the belief that early exposure to the “real world” will facilitate adaptation to that world, makes as much sense as placing sinners in the pillory to encourage repentance. Competition Should not be regarded interchangeably with competence. On the contrary, competition only serves to instill a false sense of competence. As John “Schools give every encouragement to producers, the kids whose idea is to get 'right’ answers by any and all means. In a system that runs on ‘right’ answers, they can hardly help it. These schools are often very discouraging places for thinkers." Not only do exams and grades make students feel that understanding is, at best, secondary, they do greater harm by denying that understanding to the few students who continue to seek it. Students who are not satisfied with merely the “right” answers have the most difficult school experiences. Especially today, no educational system can justifiably continue to encourage every student to reach for external rewards such as high GRE or MCAT scores without sometime facing the fact that regardless of grades or scores, space at the educational “top” is limited and many of those competing students’ aspirations will not be fulfilled. An emphasis on competition engenders the selfish, clawing atmosphere which inevitably results in brutal treatment of those less willing to engage in rivalries of performances.

MODERN EDUCATION a) cut-throat competition b) creative learning Holt wrote: * c) exciting experiences d) individual discovery Unfortunately, the answer is A. Oppose merger To the Editor: The members of the Undergraduate Society of Spanish, Italian and Portuguese (USA of SIP) would like to bring to the attention of the university community our opposition to the proposed merger of the French and Spanish Departments. First we must object to the lack of student Fall Term: The Meaning of Life. Sex, love, work, wealth, leisure and ideology are examined as possible sources of meaning, with attention to the question: What do 70 year-olds know that 19 year-olds don’t? Spring term: Selected Problems in Living. Emphasized are taxes, insurance, automotive legal problems, subleases, contracts, credit, birth control, venereal disease, zoning, local government, divorce, social behavior, job-seeking and unemployment.” In all seriousness, this is the kind of course any university must have. It has been said often that the only thing a student learns from going to school is how to go to school. In Oregon, students cannot graduate from high school until they show that they can perform such elementary living skills as balancing a check book and understanding various documents like leases and marriage licenses. The number of students who don’t know the simplest of these skills is astounding. Then too, we can’t forget the problem of students without goals, directions or standards. The nuts-and-bolts considerations of the second semester of “Fundamentals of Reality” should not be allowed to overshadow the fall semester. Too many people know how to survive without knowing how to live. The course should be a sequence with the first semester prerequisite to the other. The course can be team-taught with faculty from the departments of philosophy, law, economics, management, psychology, sociology, health sciences and just about anything else incorporated into the lecture schedule. Community people like hospital administrators, Small Claims Court judges, insurance men. Motor Vehicle Department personnel and*other state agencies could serve as adjunct faculty. And since nothing is more important than life, this should be an upper-level course. Students should write to the responsible administrators: President Robert Ketter, Academic Affairs vice president Bernard Gelbaum and Assistant Dean of Undergraduate Studies William Fritton. Any faculty interested in teaching the course (several sections should be needed) should write to me care of this office. 2) Twilight Zone Department: Imagine yourself a political columnist. Two weeks ago you wrote a column about Spiro Agnew. Before you had a chance to publish it, the Vice President resigns in disgrace. A week later you write about Elliot Richardson, and when it’s too late for you to withdraw the column, you learn he has resigned, along with half the honest people in the Justice Department. Wouldn’t you start to wonder? Maybe I have the power to drive men from office by writing satires about them. Once in high school, when our underground paper held a lottery in which the person who guessed the date and hour when our pregnant librarian would give birth, I asked the editor: “What if she miscarries?” He replied: “1 keep the money.” He kept the money and I felt guilty. So I must take somewhat seriously the suggestion that 1 have some kind of power. not to mention in the interests of In the interests of science I thought I should write about President (or maybe the nation ex-Presidcnt by the time this appears) Nixon to test the theory. But any experiment needs independent corroboration, so why don’t you send in names of people you’d like to see ousted. The person who gets the most votes will be the subject of a column in the near future, and we’ll see if the experiment works. There was a Twilight Zone episode once in which a man could reverse, stop, slow or speed up time by playing with his watch. The thought of such power, and its attendant corruption, is 3) Errata Department: Speaking of columns, 1 must acknowledge and correct two errors in my last column that escaped my notice until it was too late (and apparently escaped everyone else’s notice afterward). First, the three Maryland contractors who allegedly paid kickbacks to Mr. Agnew are named Hammerman, Wolff and Matt not Katz, as I wrote last week. My most humble apologies to all the Katzes everywhere. The second error was in saying that Coca-Cola once retained Nixon’s law firm, which may or may not have been named Nixon, Mudge, Rose, Guthrie and Alexander at the time (a possible third error). Pepsi-Cola, not Coca-Cola, retained the firm. So now you won’t drink Pepsi — - .. , anymore. consultation in the original formulation of the proposal. Secondly it would greatly handicap the Spanish Department’s ability to attract and keep good new faculty specializing in the areas of largest student interest. The proposed department would also become too big to maintain its present personal atmosphere.

In addition, I think that Schratz |nd Reid are two very good defensive hockey, but I’d have forwards. They fourth line,” Wright added. to say now that thefrnne ITthe Bulls hope to make comeback by Dave Geringer Sports Editor Facing the toughest slate of opponents in Buffalo hockey history, the Bulls will attempt to rebound from their first losing season (10-12) ever and return to the ECAC Division II playoffs. A squad of sixteen American and fourteen Canadian players will open the home schedule against Bowling Green next Friday night, November 9. “We have the potential to be improved over last season,” said hockey coach Ed Wright. “We’ve plugged some of the holes which we had last year, our defense is better and we have more depth up front. However, as we’ve improved, so has our schedule. Whether our improvement as a team is equal to the improvement in our schedule remains to be seen.” A strong showing in Division II would be necessary for the Bulls to make the playoffs, Wright indicated. “I think that we’ve got to have an excellent record in our division because we do not play the so-called elite,” remarked Wright. “We’ll have to play outstanding hockey against the Division II competition that we do face. We’ll also have to make representative showings against everyone else on our schedule,” the hockey coach added. “We’ve been working with seven lines,” stated Wright- “The way I look at it, we’re going to dress four lines. Wait until you see the line with Davies, Wolstenholme and Klym I think Davies plays along the same lines as Stan Mikita he has good moves and good passes. 1 think that they’ve looked the best of our lines so far.” - - Line changes a possibility Wright did not rule out the possibility of other line changes. “At this point, all of our positions aren’t set yet,” Wright said, “we’re still searching for a right wing on Johnny Stranges’ line. One or two of our other spots are up for grabs also. We’re attempting to create a little more balance this year last year, if you shut off Klym and Stranges, you pretty well shut us off.” Wright likened Dixon to Frank Mahovlich. “He reminds me of the Big M,” smiled Wright. “He has size, strength and cannot be moved when he gets the puck in front of the net. When he gets it oh his wing and leans on a defenseman, he’s going to the net, no doubt about it. Bowman started out not seeing much action last year, but Sylvester mainstay at defense Sophomore Mark Sylvester, the mainstay of the Buffalo defensive corps last season, will be joined by several newcomers. Sylvester, who possesses an shot, tallied 23 points last season to pace the outstanding Buffalo defensemen, while being named to the ECAC All-Division II weekly squad on several occasions. Mike Perry, a freshman from Toronto, is also a certainty to play a regular shift on defense this season. Paul Songin, another returnee, is battling freshmen Mike Caruana, John Mineo and Fred Sutton for the two remaining regular positions. Perry also a key “We’ve added Mike Perry, who i$ in the same class as Sylvester,” reported Wright. ‘Terry’s got size, he’s very quick and he handles the puck well. He doesn’t shoot the puck quite as hard as Mark (Sylvester), but he has a very quick shot. Right now, I have Perry and Songin split (each working with another defenseman). Mike Caruana has looked good, he hits well and moves the puck well. The only thing that we have to worry about with him is his inclination to end up in the penalty box,” Wright added. Right wing Mike Klym, the Bulls’ leading scorer (23-13-36) last season, heads the list of returning Buffalo forwards. Klym notched five hat tricks last season while working with center John Stranges, the Bull captain. Stranges, whose 35 points placed him second in the Buffalo scoring parade last season, has been shifted to work with left wing Bill Busch. Left wing Rick Wolstenholme, third among Bull scorers (14-12-2S) last year, has joined Klym in flanking center Chuck Davies this season. The right wing post on Stranges’ line is open, with returnees Mike Kelly, Ron Maracle (centers last season) and Gary Romanyck battling newcomer Joe McAndrew for the position. Doug Bowman, fourth center last season, has been working with Andre Poirier (12-12,-24) and freshman Mike Dixon. Returnees Bill Reid and Tom Schratz are current members of this year’s fourth line, centered by freshman JeffPearce. — Maracle in battle Russ French and Don Maracle divided the ! goaltending duties for Buffalo last season, but French (6.49 goals per game) left schoo. Maracle is being i challenged for the starting position by freshman John Moore. “I’d say, based on what has happened so far, that the starting job is a toss-up between Moore and Maracle (4.40 goals per game),” decided Wright. “I thought that Donny performed adequately last season, but Russ did a good job also. Donny appears to be very confident this season, B something which can only be a plus factor, in addition to his experience. John Moore’s got a very good glove he’s shown very well in practice,” Wright added. Moore and Maracle will be battling for the staring job as the Bulls’ pre-season camp ends, with a determination probably not be to made untfl yesterday’s scrimmage against Niagara College (Ontario) at Twin Rinks. The Bulls, who open at Kent State Friday night, must reverse their defensive shortcomings last season in order to be selected to the ECAC playoffs next spring. ; . n - Local talent m With the improvement of the minor hockey program in the Buffalo area and the curtailment of foreign student tuition waivers by the State University system, the hockey Bulls have turned to local talent in large numbers this season. Buffalo currently has sixteen Americans on its varsity roster of 30, a change from the usual complement of Canadians. ‘This season, we have more Americans on the team than we’ve ever had before,” said hockey coach Ed Wright. ‘The fact that my faith in the American skater has changed and the shakiness of the tuition waiver program dictated that I go out and recruit the best possible local talent, i didn’t go out just to recruit Americans, but when I recruited in the normal fashion I was impressed when I made my evaluations. I firmly believe that the individuals I have are capable of playing intercollegiate hockey. They have the basics, but some of them are lacking in experience and in the coaching end. With our extensive practice schedule and our coaching techniques, we can improve them to the point that they can play college hockey,” added Wright. Faith upheld by locals Wright cited the play of two local players last season as bolstering his faith in area talent: “I think ! • ; r ■ , mm Page eight.

The development of minor hockey in the Niagara Frontier is producing a product that is capable of college competition. The money pinch by most universities means that programs are going to have to be more self-reliant,” added Wright. ! The Bull coach was pessimistic about offering financial aid in the near future. “No, I don’t think that I’ll be able to offer any more tuition waivers unless the money becomes available,” Wright explained. “It is evident now that scholarships aren’t going to be available,and that tuition waivers aren’t going to be available. Our formerly all-Canadian squad is rapidly changing faces.

The dispute began last May, when the bampus prophet Michael “Lev” Levinson agreed to take care of Mr. Meisner’s dog, Franklin, for the summer. When the two roommates returned to Buffalo in September, however, Mr. Levinson refused to give Franklin back. Fickle canine “Lev sa(d he had a discussion with Framklin and Franklin had decided that Steve was no longer his master,” Mr. Michaeli maintained. N6t knowing where to turn, he and Mr. Meisner first approached one-time Presidential candidate Mary Levinson to see if she could convince her son to return their dog. However, she apparently told them she “did not know what her son does.” Mr. Levinson denies he had ever discussed the matter with Franklin. “It’s my dog, not their’s,” Mr. Levinson asserted. “Steve told me that he would lock the dog in his garage all summer if he took him home to New York I said I’d take the dog only if it becomes mine, and he gave it to me.” Messrs. Michaeli and Meisner subsequently went to Lev’s home to retrieve Franklin. As they were standing in his driveway waiting for someone to answer the door, Franklin suddenly dashed out of the backyard and according to Mr. Michaeli, “began jumping all over Steve.” Mr, Meisner quickly scooped Franklin up into his arms and the trio drove ... proclaimed the cosmic rapper. “If I went to address the Ervin committee, the dog would be at my feet. Before they stole him, I was teaching him to take bank deposits across the street by himself.” Plato, Socrates, Franklin Although Mr. Michaeli conceded he found the dog filthy and with fleas, and that he had been in and out of the dog pound, Mr. Levinson said Franklin would up at the pound because he tried to board the Ridge Lea bus to study philosophy and was arrested. He said he bailed the dog out after one night in jail, but the same thing happened two weeks later. “But from then on, the dog learned never to go near school unless 1 was with him.” Mr. Levinson saifllFranklin was filthy because he had found a construction site three blocks from home and used to play ringelevio with a couple of other dogs. Although Franklin is now residing with Messrs. Michaeli and Meisner, they claim Lev has threatened to steal Franklin if the door of the house is left open. “He also said he’d beat Steve ‘within one inch of his life’ if he saw him alone,” Mr. Michaeli indicated. Harassment Mr. Levinson has recently filed criminal charges against Mr. Meisner and Mr. Michaeli. The night before their scheduled court appearance, Mr. Michaeli said Lev telephoned to ask if they knew they were supposed to appear in court at 9:30 the following morning. “He wouldn’t tell us why or where we were supposed to appear and we thought he was bluffing. So we called the cops and told them away. we were being harassed. They told us to file a warrant of arrest for harassment.” Share the dog Several days later, they went down to Buffalo Several hours later, Lev paid a visit to the eisner-Michaeli home and accused Steve of stealing City Criminal Court and discovered that Mr. his dog. “Lev told Steve that if he were a “mench,” Levinson had filed a warrant for their, arrest on he would have talked it over with him and something charges of petty larceny, or as Mr. Michaeli termed could have been worked out whereby we could have it, “stealing our own dog.” The parties met several days later to arrange an the dog four times a week and he could have out-of-court settlement. Lev reportedly said he Franklin the other three days,” Mr. Michaeli said. Apparently, a very intimate relationship had would drop the charges and refile them in small sprung up during the summer between Lev and claims court, but Mr. Michaeli said he has yet to do Franklin. “I fed him the best canned dog food,” Mr. so. “If the warrant sticks, we’ll get a warrant for his Levinson said. “It was such high-class stuff I could arrest for stealing our dog.” ' “Lev really doesn’t want the dog,” Mr. Michaeli have eaten it myself. Mr. Levinson indicated he still had a case of dog added. “That’s been showii by this terrible cWrlie food costing $.33 a can as well as a big b|g of gave him. He gets pleasure from inflicting pain “high-class dry stuff.” He noted; “people who saw that’s how he gets his rocks off by hurting people. me with the dog would tell me how much the dog The dog is just an excuse for him.” But in Mr. Levinson’s mind, it was simply the loved me. The crucial issue here is: Will Lev be classic “dog-loves master” theme. “I’ve been waiting reunited with his cosmic dog?” Continuing his priase for Franklin, Lev said until years for a dog to come into my life,” he said. “I the fateful day they met, Franklin had lived among once had another dog but we were separated after persons who “fed him crummy” and treated him as a four months because I went into the military service. mere possession. “1 love Franklin Delano Levinson,” At that time I vowed it would never happen again.” - - HILLEL SHRBBRTON Nov. 2-3 "a complete Shabbat experience" Chicken Dinner � Kiddush Lunch Oneg Shabbat � Sat.

Married student athletes men with specialproblems — by Bruce Engel Editor irresponsible, for a bride can often provide the needed stability. Contributing Editor’s note: This is the first of a two-part series on the lifestyle of the married student athlete. Today's installment is an analysis of what seems to be a dying breed of married athletes, with insights from people who have dealt extensively with this topic the coaches. The second installment will be a case study of Buffalo wrestler Jerry Nowakowski and his wife Cheryl. - The married student athlete is a man wearing three hats. As a student, he is busy enough. In addition, he has the responsibility of practicing and performing for an intercollegiate team. Furthermore, he bears -the responsibility of a wife and home, not to mention the inevitable economic strain. Suffice it to say his life must be a difficult and trying one. In recent years, Buffalo has always had a long and distinguished list of married athletes on its varsity teams. Wrestlers Tony Policarc and Eric Knuutila, trackman Bill McCarthy, hockey captain Ted Miskolczi, swimmer Bill Reeves and basketball star Curt Blackmore are among the varsity Bulls who have enjoyed connubial bliss while they competed. Now all of these married players have either graduated or are out of the University. The 29 year-old Reeves, a Vietnam veteran, was recently forced, to q,uit schoqj to support his wife and three children. swimmer is presently having problem* with bis marriage and education, while a wrestler had to quit due to his recent wedding. Buffalo’s varsity squads are left with only one married athlete, Jerry Nowakowski.

Sponsored by UUAB Music Committee, tickets are still available. Hounddog Taylor athletes. New trends There are many reasons why today’s collegiate athletes are not getting married in large numbers. Some athletes, like their non-athletic fellow students, have opted to live with their girlfriends rather than get married. Advances in birth control and changes in social mores have made marriage less and less popular among young people. “It’s, related to national trends for students,” said hockey coach Ed Write. “Students are aware that marriage is failing as an institution,” he added. Other coaches indicated that the “machismo” attitude, which makes it a symbol of pride to git a girl pregnant, is no longer prevalent among athletes. What a young man used to look for in marriage, he no longer has to get married to get. Basketball coach Leo Richardson, who feels that married athletes are likely to be more mature and responsible, does not agree that there is a trend away from marriage. “My team is very young,” said Richardson. “I think it’s likely that before four years are up, one or two of them will be married.” Richardson prefers an athlete to get married if he is Unlike Richardson, there are many coaches that do not like the idea of married athletes. “A lot of coaches are down on it,” said wrestling coach Ed Michael, himself a married athlete throughout his undergraduate days at Ithaca College. “Actually, it can be a helf or a hindrance,” he added. the “Historically, we have been very fortunate wives have supported us.” A key factor in the success of the married athlete is a spouse who is willing to support him not only emotionally, but economically, Michael stressed. Connie Michael’s income as a dental hygienist paid for her husband’s education. Similarly, swimming coach Bill Sanford’s wife assisted him while he attended school, though the Sanfords had help from the G.l. Bill. — Wife support Most coaches agree that marriage can present a very tough situation, and that there are times when the married athlete must be treated differently. He may be allowed to leave practice early, or to practice on his own. “You have to be sympathetic,” said track coach Jim McDonough. “He’s got it tough sometimes.” McDonough remembered his Kent State days, when he would get tickets for a meet for a runner’s wife, or help her get a job. “It’s got to be discouraging for a kid,” said soccer coach Sal Esposito. “He’s got three things to worry about. The non-married student only has himself to worry about.” Esposito also indicated that while the marriage for a student athlete presents special problems, it is not immune to the problems that may affect any marriage. “Even if the wife works, it's going to be a major adjustment for both of them,” Esposito said. “There is often the psychology of guilt if the wife works.” “Marriage adds a third aspect and the other two have to suffer,” said Ed Wright. Wright feels that marriage can be detrimental to an athlete’s career because he is no longer as exclusively dedicated. But marriage may also be beneficial in producing a more realistic, mature and responsible athlete, he admitted, and one well-qualified for leadership. In fact, Miskolczi was last year’s hockey captain, as were Policare and for the wrestling Bulls, Knuutila. Athlete to seek counsel Baseball coach Bill Monkarsh requests that when one of his athletes considers getting married, he and the girl should seek counsel from experts and get all the facts. “Marriage is not a bed or roses,” said Monkarsh, “when it is an athlete who puts such a big burden on his home life. It takes two very mature people who are willing to put aside this time so that the athlete can seek this [athletics] out.” All coaches agreed that they wouldn’t and couldn’t discourage anyone days at Ithaca College. “Actually, it can be a help or a hindrance,” increasingly against it.

The tenth anniversary celebration of the Evenings for New Music series presented by the Center of the Creative and Performing Arts was presented last Saturday at the Albright-Knox Gallery. Lukas Foss, co-founder of the Center, directed the action in one of the most exhilarating concerts Buffalo has seen in a long time. In his opening remarks, Foss pointed out that the intent of the evening was not merely to commemorate the first ten years of the series but to “celebrate the future.” The future of experimental music is brighter due to the efforts of the Center members in encouraging, creating and performing new music forms. Opening the program was Riegger's “Study in Sonority” for ten violins, an early (1927) milestone in the American experimental tradition. This piece destroys the impression that non-tonal music must sound harsh. Massive Ivesian tone clusters and vibrant Stravinskian rhythms contributed to the fabric of the piece. Each performer had difficult passages with which to contend but executed them masterfully. techniques. Eberhard Blum, the flutist, had passages where his voice and flute sounded simultaneously. Harmonic glissandi and microtonal phrases were required of cellist David Gibson. The piano part, brought to life by Thorkell Sigurbjornsson, entailed strumming of the strings and use of a metal slide (like a blues bottleneck) to alter their pitch along with the conventional digital manipulation of the ivories. Waves Heightening of vision of the sea as a foreign world was the disembodiment of the instruments’ sound. Rather than emanating from the instruments themselves, the notes emerged (via microphones) from speakers on either side of the stage. This electronic delivery sustained the notes longer than a natural acoustic presentation and allowed for a more evident interplay of overtones. Infrequently there appears a work which literally screams that it is destined for lasting esteem; this is such a work. Messeurs Blum, Gibson and Sigurbjomsson are hereby strongly recommended to record “Vox Balaenae.” The finale of the evening was a work which is considered by some listeners to be at the root of experiemntal music; Stravinsky’s ‘L’Histoire du Soldat.” It is radical in its treatment of the ensemble instruments as individual voices and personalities. A sparkling performance was given by U>e seven musicians and the readers of the text, Max Seymour* Knox and Edward Regan. Ironically, tire recitation by three of the community’s most and powerful leaders concerned the demise of a soldier who consorts with the devil for wealth. The piece, a Foss translation of the C.F,. Ramuz text, took on a tongue-in-cheek disposition. The standing-room audience rated the performance its marvelous. Immediately following the concert a party was held for the audience and performers in the Albright-Knox sculpture court. Music was provided by Imani, a Buffalo rock group. There is something surrealistic about boozing and dancing among the works of Henry Moore and Pablo Picasso. <! an Comprehensive health system being planned unified, A comprehensive health care system for students is one which will being planned provide complete non-hospital services from pediatric care to filling prescriptions. The reformed Health Advisory Committee (HAC), recently appointed by President Robert Ketter, is presently in the initial stage of seeking channels for information and input from the entire University community. Director of HAC Donald A. Larson said the role of the committee is to make recommendations and advise Dr. Ketter on health-related matters. HAC is looking for people to “express what they see as the needs and their feelings area,” this he added. concerning Two reasons for supporting a comprehensive health care system were cited by Vice President for Health Sciences' F. Carter Pannill. “Students deserve quality care and they are not getting it now,” he said. However, the major advantage of such a system would be its educational potential, Dr. Pannill stressed. For students in health-related fields, it will provide a valuable experience in patient health care and teamwork. In addition to offering health services, Jpus system will strive to educate students about vital health matters like nutrition, drug - abuse and general hygiene. Dr. Larson agreed that the essential issues are appropriate health care for the members of the University community and providing an academic environment that would aid the State University of Buffalo and its students. Renovating Michael Hall with elevators and ramps will be the first phase of an attempt to increase efficiency and access to health care. Although facilities will be developed on both the Amherst and Main Street the campuses, more comprehensive facility will be at Main Street where most of the health professionals are presently located. However, A1 Campagno, director of the Health Care Division of Sub-Board I, preferred a centralized unit. As it stands now, noted Mr. Campagno, the dual system is “geographically impossible.” He hoped something could be worked out on the new campus. Jon Student Dandes, Association President, termed the Administration’s and committee’s commitment to improving health services as “total.” The attitude of everyone involved is “positive,” he added, and this is an “action committee willing to move and take a stand. I’m really impressed,” concluded Mr. Dandes. Page twelve The Spectrum Wednesday, 31 October 1973 . . Aaron Copland’s “Threnody I and II” followed, elegizing composer Igor Stravinsky and Beatrice Cunningham, a close friend of Copland, Color contrast between the timbres of the flute and the string trio permeated both works in recognition of Stravinsky’s invigorating approach to-orchestration. The performers infused a warmth of spirit to these short pieces. Concluding the first half of the program was a performance of George Crumb’s “Vox Balaenae” (Voice of the Whale). A tape recording of the singing of the humpback whale provided the inspiration for this work. It is scored for flutists, cellist and pianist, each of whom is instructed to wear a black half-mask during the performances. Masks serve to symbolize the impersonal forces of nature.

Rubin Staff Writer Spectrum Staff Writer Spectrum A welcome addition to the Buffalo soccer Bulls this season has been junior Jim Young. Young, a transfer student from Middlesex County Junior College in Edison, N J., has been rudely awakened in coming to Buffalo where athletics do not receive wide student attention. “It’s been a change for me,” reflected Young. “I’ve never played with a .500 team before.” In his two years at Middlesex, Young’s teams compiled records of 10-4 and 11-3 respectively. “It was hard for me to adjust to the lack of interest from the student body,” continued Young. “The junior college I played for had only 7000 students, but we’d always get at least 200-300 spectators at our games. Here, there are 24,000 students, and they’re supposedly opening up one of the biggest campuses in the country. Yet, we only get 25 or fewer people at our games there’s something obviously wrong with this situation.” The 5’-6” forward from East Brunswick, NJ., sees no reason why the athletic department couldn’t be upgraded without hurting academics. “I understand that the school is primarily known for its academics, and that’s the reason I’m here. But the junior college I attended was both academically and athletically oriented, and the two coincided without any difficulty. In fact, the two have brought recognition .to the school. On a campus this big, there is room for both academics and sports, and the athletes, students, and community will benefit from it.” - Young* star Despite a slow start in the 1973 campaign. Young has become a full-fledged star in the last few contests. T’m happy that things are starting to work out for me,” commented Young. T can honestly say that I’ve scored eight goals, but in the process of scoring those eight. I’ve missed 3-4 times that many. I’ve had a lot of hard luck this year. I’ve hit the post in four games.” XIn his late season surge, the “Blonde Bomber” has broken six school records, and tied two more. With two games remaining on the slate, his eight " The Jim Young goals, nine points, and 55 shots are all season records. His 14 shots against Geneseo also set a new gpme standard. His consecutive game scoring streak of four, and his three gaols in one half are also team records. Jim feels that the Bulls’ developed a positive team attitude. ‘The guys come out to practice, and they work hard. Those 15-16 guys we get out at practice are all aware that soccer is only in its second season, and they practice and play with the hope of bettering not only themselves, but the soccer program as a whole.” Turning point “I look to next season as a turning point for the Buffalo soccer team,” continued Young. “I feel with the guys we have now, and the guys we will have out (recruits, players ineligible in 1973), well have one of the best teams in New York State.” Young is optimistic when he considers the Bulls’ chances in this week’s SUNY Center Tournament at Binghamton. “I think we’re going to surprise a lot of people. Well get the second seed, and if we play the way we’ve been playing the last three games (2 wins and a tie), we’ll bring home the trophy. It would be a great reward for the team, and especially the coach, who’s proven his dedication to the athlete, the team, and the school.” JET ELECTRONICS RSKS-oo you- leed a new Attorney General?

This subtle shift in emphasis is happening in response to past criticisms that research and were the paramount publication considerations in the granting of tenure, to the exclusion of effectiveness in the classroom. This new awareness of teaching ability is being expressed across the University at a time when the tenure for those process professors under consideration Welch, professor of Political Science: “It may be that research is paramount, but teaching is very dose.” Dr. Welch noted that good research may be closely linked to The SpECTi^iiM VoJ. 24, No. 28 State University of New York at Buffalo teaching because of the ability of the researcher to keep step with recent developments in his field. Internal evaluation forms were used by many departments in the past to allow students to evaluate their teachers.

Undue emphasis might scholar can point to a pile of still be placed on publication, he said, at least in the English Department. This might be because scholars who publish a great deal add to the University’s prestige, he speculated, although they might be poor teachers. The departmentchairmen interviewed all agreed that teaching effectiveness received important consideration in tenure decisions. ‘This is extremely important to us,” stated Dr. Levine. ‘This is not handled lightly. We are handling people’s lives and careers.” “In the past two or three years we have been looking with more interest into teaching,” said Rita Lipsitz, books he has published, said Dr. Levine, teaching is difficult to without especially measure, colleague observation or adequate student input “Hove, do you judge what constitutes a good teacher?” he asked. Dr. Levine hopes more students will write to their department chairman and express their opinions on good and bad instructors, stressing that such feedback “does carry weight.” Dr. Lane summarized the change of attitude in recent years: “We have paid more and more attention to teaching.” There is a “growing committment” to good teaching echoed Dr. Welch: “1 just don’t know if it’s sufficient.” Impeachment rally draws large crowd by Marc Jacobson City Editor Chanting “Nixon’s gotta go” and “Nixon’s time is up,” an enthusiastic group of 200-300 Buffalonians marched downtown following a short rally in Cathedral Square. The march, advocating the impeachment of President Nixon, ended in front of the United States Courthouse, where sustained chants of “Nixon’s gotta go” were sounded for about five minutes The crowd, predominantly said Mr. Hasset, referring to the young people, milled about Cathedral Square while three short speeches were made. Assemblyman Arthur Eve of Buffalo was the keynote speaker, preceded by David Gomiwicz of Local 407 of the United Gypsum Workers of the AFL-CIO, and Steve Hasset, regional director of the Vietnam Veterans Against the War. Right now, “we have a situation close to a dictatorship,” recent firing of Special Prosecutor Archibald Cox and Assistant William General Attorney and the Ruckelshaus, resignation of Attorney General Elliot Richardson. “None of Mr. Nixon’s attitude is new,” Mr. Hasset exlaimed, adding: “Richard Nixon doesn’t care about the working people, the poor and the underprivileged.” Referring to the world-wide alert of United States —continued on page 5— �Ketter is burned in effigy at African poorly attended arming rally by Richard Konnan *******•"» -a 9 11 aseries of lectures by Masao Yamaguchi, Professor at Monday, October 29 at 4:30 expressed his confidence in the Council’s judgement, would .ppoln..n.d*onr Co™nl«« on The recommendation for arms training produced speculation that this was the first step towards eventual arming of campus security at Stony Brook. “This is a prejudgment of the necessity of Brook. the campus,” said Max Dresden, Faculty burned arms on President Robert Ketter was University in effigy Thursday afternoon in protest of his Senate chairman. “We feel that arms on campus perceived support for selectively arming Campus would not help at all, and would rather be a T^l While the controversy surrounding the proposed arming of Campus Security continues here, a similar controversy is raging at the State University at Stony Security. A small gathering of students watched the burning behind Norton Hall; a scheduled mass rally against arming never materialized. The question of arming at Stony Brook arose October 11 when the Stony Brook Council, the local governing body, recommended that its Caftipus dangerous situation; the moment people are engaged in training in a serious and official capacity, the arms, in some sense, are inevitable,” concluded Dr. Dresden. c Arming delayed “Under present circumstances, I have decided that firearms should not be issued,” President Toll stated. “If the situation changes, the option of issuing arms is open in light of the fact that some security officers are already licensed for gun use,” Mr. Toll also said. “The campus situation is changing,” said T. Alexander Pond, Stony Brook Executive vice president. “There is an increasing amount of incidents that draw concern and require us to take precautions,” said Dr. Pond. “We must have options for future policy.” Despite such statements from the administration, the Polity Student Council and the Faculty Senate urged President- Toll to “do everything in his power to discourage the use of firearms.” Security be trained in the use of firearms. The Council adopted a resolution which did not call for file immediate arming of Campus Security, but asked that security be trained “if such arming should later prove necessary.” Campus opposition Both the Polity Student Council and the executive committee of the Faculty Senate at Stony Brook have opposed the resolution. In a unanimous vote, the Student Council voted to oppose arming and arms training; they were later supported by the Faculty Senate’s executive committee. “We want to get the entire student body involved in this issue,” said Polity President Cherry Haskins. Stony Brook President JohnS. Toll came out in support of the Council’s resolution on October 16. He would begin to implement the recommendations immediately, he said. Oh October 18, however. President Toll reversed himself and refused to commit himself either way on the question of arms training. Instead, President Toll Guidelines for arming In May of■this year,the Board ofTrustees of the State University of New York (SUNY) adopted guidlines for the use and storage of firearms oh SUNY campuses. This has provided any SUNY president with the authority to arm CampUs Security. An informal survey conducted by The Statesman, the Stony Brook newspaper, indicated that while students generally agree that something must be done about campus crime, they reject the arming of Security as a solution. “Something must be done to stop the stealing on campus, but I don’t think guns will help,” said one student. Another student agreed; “There should be better enforcement on campus, but I don’t think guns are the answer.” The Stony Brook Council’s proposal came as part of ten overall recommendations on campus safety and security. It has been noted that its recommendations are really a legal mandate to arm because the New York State Education Law gives responsibility for campus security and safety to the Council.

The action came after the Studeht Assembly finally passed the athletic budget last Tuesday. The coaches issued a statement calling for the establishment of an advisory committee within the Department of Physical Education. The committee would attempt to iron out potential problems concerning future budgets. The statement also reiterated the coaches’ desire for input into their own budgets. A provision proposed that the Athletic Department be given the prerogative to determine line-by-line items in their budgets. “We want to establish an adivsory committee within the department to work with Athletic director Dr. Harry Fritz and Dan Daniels and to work with the Student Association,’’ commented • TUESDAY : g STEAK SPECIAL : Thomas Dr. attempt pledged an fo.mulate to Student Association President Jon Dancies also promised efforts to implement -a suitable procedure. “I will go anywhere, speak to anyone to provide a lasting peace,” promised Mr. Dandes. “I think that there has to be a solution worked out regarding the entire method through which the Athletic Department receives its funding.

Vi*;. jWM ma - �Women achieving political power (slowly) by Renee Ryback Spectrum Staff Writer “Everyone assumed I must either be sleeping with or paying off somebody. How else could a woman achieve such a high political position in this country?” So quipped Jean Westwood, former Chairwoman of the Democratic National Committee, as she spoke to an audience or more than 100 people in Moot Courtroom of the John Lord O’Brien Law Building Wednesday night. Ms. Westwood’s speech centered around “Women in Politics,” although she also discussed the current political scene. Regarding the Watergate controversy, Ms. Westwood said that one woman, a reporter, had been paid to travel with a Democratic candidate and relay information to the opposition. She expressed concern that “this is typical of the kind of role a to look for dirty woman is asked to play housekeeping secrets.” ... ‘Time of confusion’ Terming the current political situation “a time 3* of confusion between the parties,’' Ms. Westwood named four analogous times in the history of the United States. “In every one of those cases, a strong but we always third party sprang up temporarily came bouncing back to the two-party system,” she said. “The vast majority with unmet needs have managed to put together a platform which represented those needs forming a new coalition. This time I hope that women will be an important part of that coalition.” Addressing the issue of political dishonesty, she philosophized: “Candidates don’t have to lie they must determine where the boundary is between being responsive to their constituents and being leaders to their constituents,” which she felt are often conflicting concepts. The problem now, she said, is “the Administration is not responsive to the people.” Conversely, “if we were always responsive to the people, we would still have slavery.” Describing her party, Ms. Westwood said the Democrats welcome everyone. “We won’t solve any problems by having an exclusionary party,” she emphasized. Until 1964, no connection existed between the national and state levels of the party. At this time, the state parties are still autonomous except in their selection of National Convention delegates. She described the dilemma of this relationship: “Do our politics consist of 120 state parties in loose coalition or are there two national parties which impose some things on the states?” Because she favored the ideal of women in politics, Ms. Westwood was asked whether she would support Julie Eisenhower if she were to run for the Presidency. Emphatically replying, “no!” she elaborated that a woman must be qualified in order to run for an office, just as a man must be. She also advocated day care facilities be instituted in Congress to allow more women the freedom to run for office. Ms. Westwood strongly believes: “Our major priority for the upcoming election is to maintain the Democratic majority in the Senate, and achieve the ,... ... ! majority in the House” in order to override “destructive” Is the Democratic Presidential candidate a vetoes. “shoo-in” in 1976? “Not if the Democratic Party looks just like this Administration,” replied Ms. Westwood. “The polls bear me out the Republican Party is down but the Democratic Party is not up only alienation and distress with all politicians has grown.” ... ... ’No dearth of candidates’ Asked to speculate about future national leadership possibilities, Ms. Westwood was hesitant. “If I had been asked in the spring of ’69, I would have said Ted Kennedy. I never would have thought of George McGovern,” she explained. There is “no dearth of candidates,” she said, but named Henry Jackson as the probable frontrunner at this time, followed by such Senatorial celebrities as Birch Bayh, Edmund Muskie, and Walter F. Mondale. As for Hubert Humphrey, “I don’t think he’ll run again butT may be wrong,” she surmised. Ms. Westwood discussed the good which she felt has come about as the result of George McGovern’s candidacy. She said the war in Vietnam was pushed toward an end, and Watergate was brought to light, “if you want to consider that a good point.” Additionally, “many people were brought into the he was their vehicle,” Ms. political system Westwood maintained. In essence, she said, “he enumerated today’s problems, and somebody had to initiate that important dialogue.” Ms. Westwood gave a history of women’s role in American government and politics. “It took women 72 years from the founding of this country before they even asked for political power (in the form of suffrage); it took another 72 years to get it,” she said. “The first women to speak politically were those involved in the anti-slavery movement, and, in this case, they were not speaking for their own rights,” Ms. Westwood continued. At the end of the Civil War, women were granted property rights and the right to custody of ... ... —continued on page 11— Congressional hopeful Westwood plans election bid A staunch supporter of an open party, Jean Westwood, former Chairwoman of the Democratic National Committee, is planning to put some of her own political ambitions into action. “I have spent all my life working for progressive Democratic candidates and an open party that regards the interests of many people," she said. Ms. Westwood, who feels it is very important to increase liberal representation in the Senate and Houste to override conservative vetoes, plans to run for a seat in either of those two bodies in her home state of Utah. Based on the results of joint voter surveys, Ms. Westwood and Utah Representative Wayne Owens (who is up for re-election) will determine who has the best chance of winning each seat. Jean Westwood “•Too often liberals run against each other and then count each other off, letting the conservative win,” she complained. If Mr. Owens decides to run for the Senate, she will not oppose him but instead opt for his vacated House seat. However, as of this date, it appears she is a candidate for Senator. Matter of law Questioned on the present events in Washington, Ms. Westwood observed the problem is'“not a matter of whether one man is guilty but whether we live under a system of law or not.” Noting she never felt “the tapes would incriminate Nixon personally,” she said there are many important papers and documents which were made unavailable to Archibald Cox. “It is an issue of the right of executive privilege,” die “and if the House starts impeachment proceedings, it will go ahead and get the necessary documents.” “Emphasizing that Watergate does not provide an automatic advantage for the Democrats in upcoming elections, she said: “The polls show alienation and distrust of all politics.” The success of the Democrats depends on the candidates, the issues, and whether they maintain an open party, Ms., Westwood said. Ms. Westwood is strongly in favor of the Equal Rights Amendment, although she does not think it will be ratified by the required number of states this year. Proposed as the 27th Constitutional Amendment, it mandates against any discrimination on the basis of sex. If the right woman runs, there is no reason why she shouldn’t be elected President, Ms. Westwood said, and the fact she’s a woman should not stop her. However, she was unwilling to suggest a possible female Presidential candidate.. She explained why the Women’s Coalition got shafted on the abortion issue during the McGovern campaign in 1972: “He [McGovern] always felt abortion should be decided by the courts or within the individual states because of cultural and religious differences, which affects how people react to it.” Adding that “people automatically assumed he was for every issue,” she said: “McGovern didn’t take his stand in Miami and people suddenly realized abortion was never part of the campaign.” said, -A.D.

Mr. Nixon also said, in his first press conference since October 3, he would have a new special Watergate prosecutor appointed this week, but declared all Presidential documents would be kept secret and foresaw little chance that the new prosecutor would sue the White House to get them. Nixon said the new Archibald Cox’s prosecutor, successor, would be named by Acting Attorney General Robert H. Bork. The President pledged that the new prosecutor would “have independence and total cooperation from the executive branch.” immediately However, following the press conference, Democrats congressional announced that nothing but a legally prosecutor special of the executive independent branch would be acceptable.

Thomas O’Neill, Jr., the House Democratic leader, also rejected Mr. Nixon’s plan to appoint Cox’s successor this week. “I do not believe the new prosecutor will be acceptable to the Congress and the American public under the terms the President outlined,” Rep. O’Neill said. The President’s firing of Mr. Cox, he continued, “was an act of obstruction of justice and the House must continue with its impeachment.” Dick’s boy ‘The President proposed to appoint a special prosecutor just to be his own boy, subject to being fired,” charged Rep. Don Edwards (D., Calif.). A few expressed also Republicans disapproval of the President’s GOP most although plan, legislators appreared relieved by the decision. Sen.

But yet,” the President continued, “I should point out that even in this week, when many thought the President was shell-shocked, unable to act, the President acted deciseively in the interest of peace and the interest of the country.” Impeachment efforts rise week, the During past Congressmen have been beseiged by letters, telegrams and phone calls a both their local and offices from Washington constituents calling for the impeachment of President Nixon. Congressman One Texas reportedly received over 500 telegrams urging Congress to impeach Mr. Nixon.

Gaylin, a member of the National Student Lobby in Washington D.C., revealed that a timetable for impeachment has been created, culminating with a week of intensive lobbying in Washington, and a mass march on the nation’s capital November 17.

The Spectrum Page five . �DITORIA ie Max V, Good teaching sacrificed “What makes a good teacher?” is the faculty equivalent of “How do you measure learning?” in the grading controversy. The qualities of a good teacher are personal, individual he might be dynamic, insightful, stimulating, or simply a catalyst for good discussion. Above all. there is a certain rapport with his students, without which little learning can take place. Since the qualities of good teaching are so individualistic, they are difficult to measure by any objective yardstick. Publishing, however, is quite different. A faculty member with a stack of published books and articles can point to concrete testimony of his professional competence, externally verified. And it is for this reason that classroom skills are so much more difficult to measure than published output that good teachers are often overlooked when tenure is granted at this University. Publishing is undoubtedly a vital and important pursuit for a professional educator, and doing research and keeping abreast in one’s field can certainly strengthen one’s teaching abilities. But it must be recognized that teaching as well as publishing requires a large committment of time and energy; and while strength in one area cannot totally compensate for incompetence in another, strong teaching abilities should be granted equal weight in tenure considerations. In the past, unfortunately, good teaching was often all but ignored. As this Univesrity sought to bolster its “prestige” in the academic world, an overemphasis was placed on publishing to the detriment of students. Almost every undergraduate at this school has taken a course with a brilliant professor, a top graduate of Harvard, a widely-published scholar with renowned expertise in some area or another and a boring, ineffective teacher. All the published articles in the world are no help to the student who has to sit through a semester of boredom. On the other' hand, the last few years have seen many popular instructors, whose courses were habitually filled with the largest number of students, be denied tenure to the disappointment and disillusionment of the many students who enjoyed his teaching. Things are slowly changing awareness of — - - — - - - in tenure teacher effectiveness is rising considerations, as evidenced by the creation of the Office of Teacher Evaluation but a basic problem by MaxLemer — remains the difficulty in measuring teaching ability. First, we see no reason why instructors up for tenure aren’t regularly observed in the classroom and appraised by their colleagues. Trying to evaluate a teacher without watching him teach a class is like trying to review a book without having read it. The it makes teachers uncomfortable, it’s pat answers awkward to judge colleagues are not good enough, fter evaluation should be made a mandatory part of tenure evaluation. Until it is officially instituted, we urge those departments that care about the quality of their teaching to perform such evaluation on an informal basis. — - Another method does exist, however, through which students can influence the tenure process in favor of good teachers, and it is a grossly underused one. The simple process of writing a letter to the department chairman, evaluating a teacher either positively or negatively, is a vital source of student input that does carry weight. And yet students hardly ever take the trouble to do it, probably because they feel it would have no effect. But letters from students are read at the meetings of the tenured faculty, who must decide which of the eligible instructors in their department should be granted tenure. With little other guide as to teaching ability, complimentary letters from students are seriously considered and a mass response from his students will obviously weigh heavily in the teacher’s favor. The time to write those letters is now, as each department is beginning its review of this year’s instructors eligible for tenure. An instructor can teach six years at this Univesrity; after his sixth year, he is either granted tenure or he is released. Fruitless complaints always arise after a popular and qualified teacher is denied tenure, but the time students can by taking the do something about it is now trouble to write a letter. Good teachers are what make a student’s education here worthwhile. Let’s <■ do something to keep them here; - ’ - - Lerner Colum ' The United States is an imperial democracy, with far-flung stakes of power abroad and the imperatives of the equal rule of law at home. Richard Nixon has relished the role of imperial President, but he has carried over the quality of the imperious into his dealings at home and seems never to have learned the meaning of the rule of law as the first citizen of the republic. The result has been a schizoid Presidency, presided over by a deeply split man, who is at his best in power struggles of foreign policy but gets into messy tangles and turmoils at home that have reduced his credibility to a new low President Nixon has shown himself richly power-oriented, badly equality-oriented. None of the studies of his life, including the psychobiographies, have gone far to explain why. Most of us have a desire to prove ourselves to friend and foe alike, and to ourselves. It usually comes from inferiorities felt and hurts suffered early in life.'The abrasions he experienced in the struggling, stressful life of the storm-tossed little Nixon family in California must have stayed with Richard Nixon the rest of his life. Certainly one of his deepest drives has been to prove to supporters and detractors alike how he can seize history and build that proof into history. There is in him the constant temptation to go too far. “The Road of Excess leads to the Palace of Wisdom” wrote William Blake in his “Proverbs of Hell.” It has been used variously in the cults of drugs and sexuality, but most notably in history by the governmental practice of power-drunk leaders, and each time has proved a hellish proverb. The Elizabethan concept of the overreacher was of a man beset by a tragic hubris. Nixon has periodically overreached and, unfortunately for him, his overreachings have seemed at times to pay off, as with the bombing of Hanoi, which didn’t interfere with his reception in Moscow. The resulting heady sense of triumph doubtless spilled over into other efforts at overreaching. One can see how Mr. Nixon would think of it as a daring instead of regarding it as overreaching way of turning history to his purposes. This reached some kind ofclimax in his Tiring of special prosecutor Cox. The intent was to take events by storm, the method pretty devious. Its deviousness was reinforced by Mr. Nixon’s about-face on the tapes when the impeachment storm broke and when the threat grew that Judge Sirica would hold him in contempt of court. Who can tell whether Mr. Nixon planned it that way from the ptart, to get Cox out, or whether he miscalculated on the intensity of the storm and retreated before it? My guess is that an element of each entered. His primary goal was to rid himself of Cox, his secondary one to submit the tapes in a way that might pass muster without wholly surrendering them. When the secondary one failed, he scrapped it. He then- scheduled a talk to-the people and scrapped it again, presumably because of the Middle East, more probably because his last effdrt' W a speech to the people had been a disaster, and a press conference however dangerous might possibly fare better. George Meany, who not so long ago preferred Mr. Nixon to George McGovern, has blurted out the charge that Mr. Nixon is “emotionally unstable.’’ It is a feeling that evokes echoes from others around the country. What feeds it is the evidence of the vigils at Camp David, the explosive actions that almost inevitably follow them, the deviousness, the backtrackings, the self-destructive bent in a man who, only a year ago, seemed to have it made in every way. But I read the signs differently. An emotionally unstable man could not conduct foreign policy with the coolness and precision that and Secretary Kissinger under him has used in the Mr. Nixon Middle EAst war and cease-fire. But the piling up of Mr. Nixon’s personal troubles on the tapes, the taxes, the houses, the Rebozo SI 00,000-cache, the charge of a secret investment fund has made life a purgatory for him and turned him into a desperate man. No amount of further deviousness and of elaborate public explanations, at press conferences or in speeches, will rescue him from that. Only the pursuit of the truth, by the due process of law, can resolve the questions that plague the people and the problems that beset the President. . - - - Disappointing candidates Buffalo voters who must choose a Mayor on November 6 face a difficult choice. The difficulty arises not from a close race but because neither Republican candidate Stewart Levy nor Democratic Mayor Stanley Makowski are offering creative solutions for this city’s growing problems; nor are they convincing people they will be able to halt its deterioration. In possibly the most low-key non-campaign in recent urban history. Mayor Makowski has been content to lay low, skirting the real issues facing the city, trying to project the image of tending to business; white Mr. Levy has fashioned a campaign of criticizing the Mayor, but has offered few if any positive solutions of his own. Perhaps these strategies are mandated by the fact that Mr. Makowski, the incumbant after succeeding Mayor Frank Sedita in March 1973, is a Democrat in a 2-to-l Democratic city and expects an easy win; Mr. Levy as a relatively unknown challenger, is forced into the posture of underdog attacker. But regardless of campaign strategies, the issues in this campaign have been glossed over, averted and buried with rhetoric, and one can only assume that neither candidate has the positive ideas this city so sorely needs from its next Mayor. Mr. Levy has criticized the police department, the education system, how City Hall is managed, but he has been short on concrete suggestions. At least he takes a hands-off attitude on the restrictive Buffalo housing ordinance prohibiting more than two unrelated an ordinance whose people from living together enforcement would throw the already-critical student housing situation into chaos. This legislation of lifestyles is surely unconstitutional, and it is a point in Mr. Levy’s favor that he, unlike Mr. Makowski, does not support it. But his unimaginative answers on other ' — , problems - “re-train” the police to fight crime, calling the busing issue a “matter for interpretation” indicates that while he seems more sincere than many politicians, he is unqualified to be Mayor. That he was a last-ditch candidate for the Republicans, and that local Republicans, including County - Executive Edward Regan, have put a great distance between themselves and Levy’s futile Mayoral campaign conveys the same impression. Mr. Makowski, on the other hand, has offered very little in the way of positive solutions in his eight months in office. His "War on Blight,” while a needed step, is a flashy detraction from his lack of for new comprehensive programs housing. Revitalized housing, not merely demolition, is essential if we are to reverse the middle-class exodus from Buffalo. He provides little leadership on education, instead stressing “outside consultation” and the Board of Education’s responsibility; he has yet to find the money promised the striking teachers in September’s settlement. A party man all the way, the Mayor is a administrator; a low-profile, competent self-described “plowhorse” who places much responsibility in his staff. Mayor Makowski will more or less preserve the status quo; but because we feel Buffalo’s mext Mayor should bring creative solutions and positive programs to City Hall, we are unable to endorse either of the two candidates. We believe that Mr. Makowski is better qualified than Mr. Levy to run the city government, and would suggest voters elect the Democratic Mayor for that reason alone; although, for the reasons previously enumerated, we cannot make an unqualified endorsement. One thing is clear: it is truly regrettable when one candidate can be said to have the election sewn up in advance simply because he is a Democrat. What has been conspicuously absent in these campaign months, perhaps because they are lacking in the candidates themselves, is a frank, serious approach to the issues. Voters must dig beneath the rhetoric and inspect the candidate’s stances; and if one votes for Mr. Makowski, one should scrutinize the other races on the ballot and attempt to choose the best candidate, not vote a straight Democratic line. An election is the tim«. f or debating the issues. When party considerations obscure the issues in an election, the issues remain obscured after that election and beyond, and everyone is a loser.

What happened was that a tape recorder that I had recently received after a waiting period of several months was stolen. It was, and is, an extremely upsetting, and illuminating, event. I finally begin to understand a little of what it must be like to live in a place which has recently been broken into. There is an increased sense of paranoia, one startles easy, there is an increased suspicion of any strange |L 1 face in familiar surroundings. material strictly of which is All I do not need. I have a somewhat spooky attitude towards the world around me anyway. There seems to me to be reasonable evidence that the captain 1 of the Ship of State is sailing through a mine Held while by Steeae dead drunk, capriciously following whatever weird impulses cross his mind. Such a view does not inspire my greatest confidence and sense of security. There is at least a illusion in my head that madness in Washington need not have any effect on my personal life. After all this isn’t a backward South American country like Chile where the military could take over in a time of is it? So it seems to make a large difference when crisis suddenly I am forced to deal with reality. Having worked at Attica 1 should know that there arc in fact reasons to protect one’s person and things under certain circumstances. At Mariposa this summer U. Utah Phillips made the observation that one of the codes of being a bum or hobo was “that if you put something down, you must be done with it.” Basically I’m pretty disorganized. There is a hole in the floorboard of my car which needs to be patched, my room is a state of semi-controlled chaos most of the time, but all in all 1 get by. Part of getting by is to push myself into doing things on the basis that it won’t be as bad as I thought it would, that the positive feedback thus gained will somehow loosen me up to try more things, which will enable me to stick my neck out somewhere else, etc. This system has certain difficulties connected with it. Such as what do you do when you get burned? Either by a person you know and carj about, (Hi, Buzz, as in saw, how are things?) or when you drop your guard sufficiently for a stranger ter clobber you I.m more familiar with the feelings of being done in by someone I know, than by someone unknown. One of the reasons for that is that I am not terribly into things. grump ... Spending money on myself is a hard thing to do. Whatever the hell that is all about I’m not sure, other than not having much money to spend, ever, on one hand, and that the best thing to do with anything extra was to hide it, on the other. It is much easier to impulsively spend money on which may be simple, straightforward, other people bribery. Buying a tape recorder was thus a very risky thing, on several levels. First it had to be justified. Which was basically on “professional” grounds. A psychologist, apprentice or otherwise, really needs a tape recorder nowadays. (Rationalization is a wonderful tool.) And as long as I was getting a tape recorder, it would obviously (?) be more sensible to buy one with an FM radio rather than buy a converter or something for my car. Having completed this stage of internal negotiations, it then became necessary to figure out what I wanted, and how to get that in the least expensive way possible. I would be too revealing to admit how long it took to make a selection of the right tape recorder. Finally allowed myself to pick out a JVC model with a two speaker monaural system. This was a splurge, a luxury, and admission that I really wanted to be able to make and play cassettes of my favorite records. Being forced to deal with the fact that I was being - much. Having decided what I selfish wasn’t too hard wanted, it was then necessary to shop around to get the best price on it. Wound up sending away for it. Which, through nobody’s fault, took a long, long time to come in, finally arriving about two weeks ago. And now it is gone. Leaving me aware that I really am a possessive son of a bitch. Apparently one of the reasons 1 have stayed away from having a lot of things is that it is really easy forme to get trapped into having and protecting possessions. 1 think. The anger at having some thief casually stroll through the place 1 work and steal my tape recorder is clear. That is, the anger is clear. I said earlier that it feels as if my personal space has been violated, and it seems that this is a trigger to much of the feeling. (In some really removed way, it feels as if I can touch a piece of what it was like to be raped, to have not only your space, but your body, violated. I run out of words and sit and shudder.) My ability to move in the world has much to do insisting that 1 am paranoid, and things aren’t as bad as I am afraid they are. I say this again because it is an extremely baric piece of reality for me. There is enough shit around to leave me consistently cautious. 1 get really, really scared when I drop my guard for a brief period of .. . time ten minutes or less in this case and get burned. My response is to start distrusting everybody, to perceive strangers as nothing but another threat in any instance where they start to get near me. The feeling is something along the line of being able to trust no one but yourself, or having to maintain a constant state of alert. It feels awful. It does not seem to me that I really require that much space, that it has been difficult for me to fit my space needs around other peoples. But from wherever it came it seems that I do feel better when there is an inviolable comer to sit and hide from the world when necessary. or stolen, to call a shovel Having something ripped off serves to remind me that nobody is by its coarser reality really safe. It is easy to cover the anxiety and fear by talking about existential philosophy, about how the whole thing is a gamble anyway, so that it should be possible to calmly recognize the fact that safety doesn’t exist, except on a probability basis. It isn’t a calming thought to me, that the potential for getting stung for something is an actuarial reality and one can reasonably assume to lose X amount of money in losses to people whose work is based on picking up what other people put down. I was fuming when 1 offered twice the value of the recorder for the arrest and conviction of the person that took it. It was a crazy, vindictive thing to - — - - do. But the offer still goes and we do know what he looks like, and what stylishly mod clothes he was wearing last Wednesday and a witness. So maybe someday we can get it all together. You didn’t look hungry when 1 saw you friend, just a pro making a living. I worked in a joint, and I have real questions about what kind of guy I must be to want to put somebody in one, but I do. It’s a sucker game friend, and one day your’re going to be one step too slow, and then your fine fancy threads aren’t going to help much. There are safer ways to make money. Run for public office. Become an arms salesman in the Middle East. But your’re going to do what your’re going to do, and maybe it would be nice if you wandered back down sometime. We can play double or nothing. Since I’ll probably buy another one just like the last one. And visions of booby traps danced in his head. Well folks. I’m really sorry that things got out of hand and in the last couple of paragraphs. A few tranquilizers of Nixon’t immortal repetitions few booze and a some words about how we have turned the corner on crime and but do watch I will be as good as new. Pleasant week times, rich, and at all everything you own, simultaneously heh, heh. feedback Aversion to Maddox To the Editor It has been brought to may attention that (1) Bureau has invited Mr. Lester Maddox to the UJL campus and (2) that efforts are being made to have the S.A. sponsor a conference of racism. I feel compelled to express my opinion about each of these proposed events. First, I should like to express my aversion to Mr. Maddox’s presence as a SA. sponsored speaker on thU campus. Providing a forum for Mr. Maddox, it seems to me, is not unlike providing a forum for the anti-intellectual anti-semitism of the Nazis: nor are the social conditions in the U.S. unlike those in Nazi Germany where racism was a tradition and where the political, economic and intellectual (including the “scientific” eugenics) climate gave racist ideology the impetus it assumed. I cannot imagine medical students of sound judgment invg and paying a “no-nothing” quack doctor to expound on the health issues of our time certainly let alone on the virtues of disease freedom of speech would not be raised in the defense of such a “doctor”. Since Mr. Maddox has never analyzed the dimensions of racism nor the social condition’s which influence it (on the cpntrary he has perpetuated both) the comparing of Mr. Maddox to the quack doctor seems appropriate. Secondly, I should like to express my support for a conference on racism and indicate my willingness to help make this event a success. Anti-Maddox petition - — To the Editor The planned appearance of Lester Maddox is no joke. He is coming to UB for the purpose of whipping up racism and encouraging racists. Some say; sty “Let him come and we’ll laugh at him. We he must be stopped. We demand that the Student Association cancel Maddox’s speech and refuse to pay him any money. ’ Seventeen Students Name withheld Monday, 29 October 1973 The Spectrum Page seven . . �Editor’s note; This b the first in a series of articles covering the upcoming state and Buffalo elections. Today’s articles describe the positions of the two major candidates for Mayor of Buffalo. The Spectrum invites comments on these articles, and urges all students to vote in the upcoming election. Makowski Buffalo Mayor Stanley Makowski took office in March 1973 following the resignation of Mayor Frank Sedita. Mr. Makowski, a Detnocrat, is seeking to retain his job and is a heavy favorite to extend his tenure for four more years. These are Mr. Makowski’s stand on the issues: " jVv Convention Center: the Mayor fully supports the proposed Convention Center and its suggested site: ‘There is a real need for additional revenues. The net result of building the Convention Center would be added revenues for operations and maintenance for the Board of Eudcation, street repair and other matters.” Mr. Makowski also feels that the full cost of the proposal is warranted. If voters should approve the center in the upcoming referendum, it will be built on its planned site. The site was determined by the consulting firm hired to draw up the plans, Mr. Makowski pointed out. Diminishing population of the city: Mr. Makowski feels the Convention Center and his “War on Blight” will bring people back into the city. Terming the new lakefront housing development a “gem,” Mr. Makowski said that the basin-marina plans coupled with the construction of the Holiday Inn and Erie Community College will help to restore vitality to the downtown area. Mr. Makowski favors “more green-space for recreation, culture and safety.” Most streets in the city are safe, he said, although the public may not perceive them as safe. Although not primarily interested in attracting people into Buffalo, Mr. Makowski plans to focus his attention on “changing attitudes and satisfying the 460,000 people presently living within the city. The middle- and high-income people are moving out, leaving the poorer people and senior citizens. The senior citizens comprise 55% of the city’s population,” he observed. Housing Codes: The Mayor has already begun his “War on Blight” with “mass demolitions, individuals and non-profit organizations taking over deteriorated property, supported by bank loans for rehabilitative purposes.” Mr. Makowski said 1,000 houses had already been demolished. Only those that could not be rehabilitated, however, are tom down. Mr. Makowski supports “uniform administration of housing codes” as well as the ordinance prohibiting more than two unrelated people living together. He did not state his reasons for supporting this ordinance. Thirteenth Judgeship: “No comment” because it is presently in litigation (statement made before final appeal failed]. The Mayor insisted that a thirteenth judge for housing cases is necessary for the war on blight to be effective: “The cancer of urban blight needs a --H.j ' full-time judge.” West Side Highway: The Mayor favors the construction of the Highway. ‘The Puerto Ricans are suffering there because of poor buildings and vandalism.” Were the Highway to be built, he said, the city would assist the residents of that area in finding better (Mayor’s emphasis) homes than they are presently living in. A decision on the construction will be made by next spring. Rapid Transit: A rapid transit line in the Buffalo area has been the Mayor’s “dream.” Terming it a “critical” issue, the Mayor personally favors an underground system, but if a compromise is needed to implement the plan, he would favor the compromise. Mr. Makowski mentioned the possibility of using a monorail, as is used in Seattle. Sanitation; The Mayor feels that sanitation efforts are “doing well, and I hope we improve as we go along.” He feels that recycling is a good idea, particularly in light of the shortage of space available for disposal of garbage. Mr. Makowski also feels the state will have to lend additional help to improve the sanitation situation. Busing and East High School; “I am against forced busing,” said the Mayor. At East High School approximately 12 students have refused to attend the predominantly black school and requested to be bussed to another school. The Mayor refused to comment on the East High School controversy, charging that it was a matter for the Board of Education to handle. However, he added; “No parent has the right to keep his child from school. The parent should send the child elsewhere, because education is so vital.” The Mayor does favor voluntary busing, however, and suggested the East High students transfer to another school. Education: Education here is in need of “improvement,” and Mr. Mr. Makowski feels a realistic look at the operation is needed: “We should consult with outsiders to see what can be done.” The Mayor proposed that each teacher be accountable for each of his students. This accountability would require teachers to be directly responsible for their students’ progress. Women and Blacks: Mr". Makowski would like to accelerate the number of minorities employed by the city government. He enumerated the minority group members employed by the city, commenting that they were doing a good job. No-ahaw 'Jobs: Following the .firing of Jim Donahue, Lt. McDonnel is now investigating the problem: ‘We are continuing to operate an absentee investigating unit and will seek out those who are slack in their work,” Mr. Makowski said. Page eight. The Spectrum Monday, 29 October 1973 . �Levy s. Republican candidate Stewart M. Levy is facing an uphill battle in November’s mayoralty election. Mr. Levy is presently vice-president of a Rochester management and consulting firm and is running an under-financed campaign. His stands on the issues: Rapid Transit: Mr. Levy feels the portion of the rail line planned for the city should be underground, and feels this arrangement will benefit the city. Concerning the controversy over the section outside the city that is planned as an overhead line, Mr. Levy feels it would not hurt the environment, but, because he is running for city office, he is not especially concerned with the fate of the suburbs. Generally, Mr. Levy gave his support to the entire rapid transit system. Housing Codes: Mr. Levy feels there is a desperate need to “re-vamp all the city ordinances regarding the housing situation.” “We are dealing with antiquated codes, enacted in 1909. We need more flexibility.” Mr. Levy does not support the ordinance stating that no more than two unrelated people can live together in Buffalo: “I can’t be God and tell anyone how to live their lives. If people want to live together, then let them.” Sanitation: “We have to put people on the garbage runs who work,” Mr. Levy said, implying that part of the sanitation problems are closely related to the no-show scandals in City Hall. Mr. Levy pointed to the high rate of absenteeism as contributing to the fact that people don’t know when garbage is to be picked up. Mr. Levy feels there is no particular need for additional pick-ups: “Just get the people who are supposed to be working back to work.” Thirteenth Judgeship: Mr. Levy feels that the creation of a new post is “unneeded,” and that using one judge from the existing twelve as a housing judge would be more economical and equally feasible. A new judge would cost the city over $100,000 annually, Mr. Levy contended. Model Cities; “Some programs were good, some were clearly bad, and others were rip-offs, but the intent of the program was great. The problem was in poor administration,” he claimed. The candidate would like to see some new experimental programs begun, and some of the older, better-established programs reinstated. “Innovation is important,” Mr. Levy noted. Convention Center: “I favor the Convention Center as a concept, but 1 can probably build it for $9 million instead of $14 million by moving it tliree blocks.” There is available land there that is not producing any revenue, Mr. Levy said. He also feels that the referendum on the November ballot will indicate that the convention center will be built at its proposed site because of a concurrent Common Council resolution. The resolution states if the Convention Center referendum is approved by the voters, it will be located where it is presently planned. Crime: Mr. Levy called for the re-training and refurbishing of the Police Department to “re-equip them for human relations.” We have the largest per-capita police force in the nation, Mr. Levy claims, and there is no reason they shouldn’t be well-trained. West Side Highway: The highway plan has no direction, Mr. Levy said, and is presently just a dream. It will eventually become a reality, he said, but he feels the highway would be unnecessary if the planned rapid transit line were implemented. However, the area “must be rebuilt, and deterioration and demolition stopped, until the fate of the area is certain,” he said. Busing: “According to federal and state law, busing is not mandatory, is voluntary,” Mr. Levy said. “If busing is on a voluntary basis, a student can be bused anywhere within his zone.” Asked whether the city will lose federal subsidies for not integrating the schools, Mr. Levy said: ‘That is a matter for interpretation.” Whatever decision is reached in the East High School controversy, Mr. Levy said, will affect everybody, not just the twelve families involved. Women and Blacks; Appointing minorities to City Hall jobs would be based on ability, not party affiliations, said Mr. Levy. “Motivation of people is the most important aspect” of determining whether an individual is qualified to perform a specific job, the Republican candidate said: “We need the kind of people that come to work.” Referring to no-show investigator Jim Donahue, who was recently fired by Mayor Makowski, Mr. Levy said he was dismissed “for doing his job.” Minimum Wage Veto; Mr. Levy accused Mayor Makowski of running a “showboat” campaign, exemplified by Mr. Makowski’s letter to Buffalo Congressmen urging them to override the President’s minimum wage veto. He “would not lobby” for an increase in the minimum wage, he said, because that is a Federal matter, and did not concern him as a Buffalo mayoral candidate. Diminishing City Population; ‘There are two major factors contributing to people leaving the city. One is standards, and the other is unsafe streets.” Young families are not attracted to live here because of inadequate education and increasing costs, he believes. Additionally, the city as a whole is behind in reading levels, but we are spending more than any other comparable city on education. ‘The mayor has nothing to do with the Board of Education,” Mr. Levy said. However, he proposed that there be a full accounting procedure before presenting the education budget, with emphasis on individual line accounts, not lump sum expenditures. Operating statements received on time, not a year late, as was done this year, would also save money, Mr. Levy said. Additionally, the capital improvements on schools already paid for should be made.

The proposal was implemented to “bring the students and faculty members into closer contact,” said Student Association President Jon Dandes. “There is no real* communication between the FSEC and the student body,” Mr. Dandes said, and he hopes this committee will correct that situation. Several problems termed “minor” in the past will be discussed and acted on in future Student-Faculty Committee meetings, Mr. Dandes believes. Referring to the events of last year’s FSEC meeting concerning faculty majors, Mr. Dandes said students indicated general desire to change the declaration of majors from specific to general. Instead of a student indicating Biology or Chemistry as a major, the student would simply write “natural science.” As a result of that meeting, the heads of each department were asked to compile a report concerning the issue. The deadline set for the reports was September 1973. However, only tthe Arts and Letters Faculty has complied with the ruling so far. .

Bob Houglum, manager of KLOO, stipulated that the extra-terrestrial visitor, animal or person, “must never have been on Earth before.” Six unidentified flying objects, including one which “landed” and then took off in front of two deputies, were reported in die mountain area of Mount Airy, North Carolina, Wednesday night and early Thursday. Surry County Sheriff Jim Taylor and deputies John Belton and Phil Snow were among SO persons who reported seeing the objects, all with different lights and shapes, before they disappeared at high speed. Belton said he and Snow drove out to investigate a report by a rural resident, Daniel Dean, who said: “There’s a flying saucer that went down here at Buck Shoals Pond.” The deputies reported seeing a strange light along the Arrarat River south of town when they arrived, with the object emitting a strange, high-frequency humming noise.. Throughout the country there have been numerous sightings of UFO’s unidentified flying objects. The descriptions of these ominous visions have ranged from bright lights moving across the sky to actual “spacemen,” clothed in luminous suits complete with antennae projecting from their heads. Such observances were reported by police, newsmen, and scientists as well as the genral public. In Los Angeles, hundreds of callers bombarded police and newspaper switchboards Thursday, — reporting “shimmery, shiny” triangular-shaped objects in the sky, “just hanging up there” or moving very slowly. One woman caller in Los Angeles said: “From my window there’s a great big massive thing, and I’m not nuts. My friend called me to look and we had our mailman look. We didn’t want to seem nutty,” she said. The objects turned out to be tetroons, which are plastic bags realeased in an air pollution study being conducted by Dr. William Perkins of Metronics Associates, in Palo Alto, Calif., the Environmental Protection Agency and the State Air Resources Board.

A special group of officers hat received the go-ahead to stop and frisk all aliens from other planets that are in the city or in the air space above. In addition, the police can ticket creatures who attempt to flee or vanish. In a seven-point departmental memo, Detroit's eight field duty inspectors were given detailed instructions on how to care for UFO's, their passengers and/or crews. The top priority item said get them to the ground even if a bullhorn or puMic address system must be used. The next order of business was the traditional ticket for fleeing saucers, but with the proper copy of the citation to have on hand for future court appearances. Diplomatic immunity for passengers or crew members of UFO's from alien planets was also required, including separation of males and females for questioning. A plane?

According to this publisher, many people do not realise how much they could influence others simply by remembering accurately everything they see, hear, or read. Whether in business, at social functions, or even in casual conversations with new acquaintances, there are ways in which you can dominate each situation by your ability to remember.

Some of these women were widows with children to raise, and desperately needed these jobs, added Ms. Westwood. “The third phase,” as Ms. Westwood described it, was in the Vietnam-Civil Rights period of the 1960’s. Women organized to vocalize the feeling that “we must be equally involved in political we must no longer-be confined decision-making to just voting.” ... A woman. Most women who have run for political office have been champions of civil rights, pacifists, and in Ms. Westwood’s words “for humanity.” However, she said: “women aren’t moralists they work for what they believe in.” A woman faces a distinct problem when she runs for office in that “her qualifications take second place to the fact that die .... and I think we’re a long way from is a woman that,” Ms. Westwood speculated. overcoming The number of women elected to high positions has not been especially impressive, according to Ms. Westwood. “Fifty women in our history have been these elected to the House of Representatives were mostly widows running to replace their husbands, daughters running on thgir fathers’ names, and candidates being used to serve during interim periods.” Ony one United States Senatorial position Margaret Chase has ever been held by a woman Smith.

Ms. Westwood spoke of the problem of women who are not interested in political activity.' Following the last election, “40% surveyed had voted the way their husbands voted,” she said. Observing that a defeatist attitude permeates some womens’ feelings about policits, she said “they want instant solutions which are not feasible.’’ ...

Attorneys for five men indicted by the special grand jury probing the 1971 Attica prison riot have asked the Appellate Division of state Supreme Court to move the trials to New York City. The five were indicted by the Wyoming County grand jury last August in connection with the rebellion that took 43 lives. Lawyers for the men argued Tuesday that since their clients come from the New York City area it would be easier and more convenient to prepare their cases there. Former Attica inmates indicted by the grand jury last December have had their trials moved from Wyoming County to Erie County. At that time, the grand jury handed up 37 indictments naming 60 n^en. None of those indicted have come to trial and no trial dates have been set. - NATIONAL V Discrimination against men? WASHINGTON (DPI) The Supreme Court, which of late has interested itself in women’s rights, has finally turned its attention to discrimination against men. On Tuesday the. court granted a hearing to a Miami widower, Mel Kahn, who is challenging part of Florida’s tax law. The statute grants a $500 property tax exemption to widows but not widowers.

(UPI) State officials are planning a unique prison- college which would make it possible for both male and female convicts to work full-time toward a degree in liberal arts or science. The announcement of the pilot project Tuesday by State University Chancellor Ernest L. Boyer and Corrections Commissioner Peter Preiser marks a radical shift in the state’s approach in criminal rehabilitation, which previously have concentrated on job programs — training skills. The proposed prison-college would have classroom and housing space for 250 persons, and, if successful, could open the way for several such centers, the joint announcement said. The proposed prison-campus would be located about 40 miles north of New York City at Bedford Hills. CAMPUS - cold. A “cruel hoax” ATLANTA (UPI) Georgia Lt. Gov.

Ball has dismissed two of the four charges against former Attica prison inmate Richard Bilello in connection with the Attica prison rebellion. Bilello, 43, of New York City and six others were charged with two counts of coercion and two counts of unlawful imprisonment in an indictment returned by the special Wyoming County grand jury investigating the 1971 prison uprising. Ball’s action was the first dismissal of any charges against the men indicted by the panel, which is still in session. Bilello is currently serving a life sentence in another state prison and is also named in another indictment charging him and others with 34 counts of first degree kidnapping. - Term paper sales banned The sale or purchase of term papers is (CPS) prohibited by a recently enacted law in Massachusetts. Included in the bill signed by the governor last week was an amendment making it illegal for one student to take a test for another. The bill states in part: “Whoever sells themes or theses, whoever arranges or assists in their compilation, or makes us of such items or results of studies without giving due reference shall be punished by a fine or not more than $100 or six months imprisonment or both.” The new law was designed to combat the increasingly wide use of term paper and research services in Massachusetts.

Sexuality workshop begins The first in a series of workshops entitled “The Dynamics of Human Sexuality” got under way Tuesday evening at 7:30 p.m. in room 231 Norton Hall. Originally offered as a course available only to students in health-related fields, the workshop is designed to facilitate a better understanding of human sexuality among all interested members of the university community. Tuesday’s workshop on “Human Sexual Response” focused on a discussion of the body and its response to erotic stimuli. “The Dynamics of Human Sexuality” is sponsored by the Life Workshops and will be held every Tuesday until the end of November. Various aspects of sexuality will be presented by specialists in related fields followed by small group discussions. Future workshops include: “Psychological Aspects of Human Sexuality,” October 30: “On Being Gay,” November 6: “Coupling and Uncoupling,” a discussion on marriage and other alternatives, November 13; and “Health Problems Related to Human Sexuality,” November 20. \ 5*~ /■ ■ ■ W -V NION BOARD********************************************** Chicago Hues and Boogie at its very finest The most imitated Huesman of all times And Special Guest Stars MUDDY WATERS The Incomparable starofboththeAnnArbor iijvin nn(i TAYI nR LUI V/liiL 1 /!? i and the Buffalo Folk Festival * and THE HOUSE ROCKERS Saturday, Nov. 3rd. 3:00 p.m. in Clark Gym Tictek an mllablt at the U.B. t Bat.

Monday, 29 October 1973 . �Soviet Jews Scientist’s family persecuted Editor’s Note: Joseph Merrick, professor of Microbiology here, sent us the following letter describing the difficulties experienced by a Soviet Jewish scientist because of his desire to emigrate to Israel To the President of the American National Academy of Sciences, Dr. Philip Handler; To the President of the Royal Society, Dr. Alan Hodgkin; To the Universities which have honoured me by inviting me as a Visiting Professor; To all those scientists concerned about my fate; who are Dear Colleagues and Friends: You have already shown deep concern about my family’s and my own fate, for which I am very grateful. That is why I am sure that this appeal of mine will be heard by you as well. At present, I am asking for more than your support; help me save my son. More than fifteen months have passed since my family and I applied for exit visas to Israel. Since then we have gone through all kinds of harassment and hardship. We have been suffering various persecutions, as is known to many of you. You may be aware that on May 8th, a meeting of the Chemical Department of the Academy of Sciences was held, with the question of my expulsion from the Academy being discussed. I was officially alleged to damage this country by my “unworthy behavior.” This, however, turned out to be insufficient; for my son, Evgeny Levich, 25, an astro-physicist, Doctor of Sciences, was seized on May 16th in the street while on the way to the hospital, where he was sent by military authorities for a medical examination. As has been officially confirmed, instead of being admitted to this hospital, Evgeny Levich was drafted as a private without any medical examination whatsoever. That same day he was taken away to Eastern Siberia. There is now some information about his being sent out to a military unit, located on the shores of the Arctic Ocean, with extremely hard conditions of service. He is cut off from any kind of communication with us. Meanwhile. Evgeny Levich is seriously ill. According to medical data available, he has been suffering from ulcerous colitis and multiple diverticulosis of the bowels. Moreover, and this is the wont, a burner was recently found in his rectum. Its nature is not yet known, since the examination being performed by the Moscow Cancer Dispensary was interrupted because of the events described above. It is quite obvious to anyone that Evgeny is seriously ill and that his detention in such harsh conditions creates a menacing situation. Dear colleagues and friends, the very life of a young man is at stake and this is caused by the fact that my family and 1 have dared to express an intention to realize the most fundamental of human liberties, the liberty to choose the country of one’s residence. I have appealed to my colleagues, foreign and soviet scientists of high rank, for help. 1 have appealed to high authorities of this country. All my requests to observe principles of hamanism and legality have been in vain. 1 believe that is within your possibilities to convince the top authorities of this country that the cruel, inhuman actions described above, should not be put up with in a civilized society, and can hardly contribute to die development of mutual understanding and friendly cooperation between the world’s scientific community and that of the USSR. I appeal to you to use all your influence possible in order to save the life of a young scientist. -Professor Benjamin Levich, MOSCOW, May 25. 1973 Footnote by Prof. D.B. Spalding, Imperial College, London, SW7, who received the above message by telephone from Moscow: It is now known that Evgeny has been sent to Tiksi, in the Arctic. No place more remote and severe could have been chosen. The abrupt and extraordinary manner of Evgeny’s apprehension (the trick order to report to a hospital; the kidnapping on the street; the instant transportation to Siberia) demonstrates at once the punitive, furtive, and illegal nature of the operation. Telegrams to Mr. Brezhnev, with copies to the President of the Academy of Sciences of the USSR, are the best means ofprotest.

A recent Harris Survey of likely voters shows the Democrats with a wide, 53-31 percent lead incurrent preference between party candidates in next year’s contests for the House of Representatives. This is a drop of 8 points in the Republican column from a comparable survey taken last Spring. Periodically, the Harris Survey has asked a nationwide cross section of likely voters: “In the election next year in 1974, for Congress here in your District, if you had to decide right now, would you vote for the Republican or Democratic candidate for Congress?” W VOTE FOR CONGRESS IN 1974 Latest Democratic 53% Republican 31 16 Not sure June May 51% 49% .35 39 12 14 The 22-point Democratic lead in the the House is based on in-person interviews in a recent nationwide sample of 1,491 households. It is the most sizable margin the Harris Survey has recorded in a decade, and far surpasses the Democratic showing even in the landslide year of 1964. It contrasts, for example, with the 56-44 percent margin by which the Democrats carried Congress only a year ago. contests for m Democratic lead is substantial among nearly every key voting group in the nation, as the following breakdown indicates: ' KEY GROUP CONGRESS FOR ANALYSIS Dem. Rep. Nationwide 53% 31% East Midwest South West Cities 53 Suburbs Towns Rural Under 30 years old 30-49 SO and over 51 54 57 62 52 47 47 30 33 26 33 24 31 35 35 - what?” /- PARTY ALLEGIANCE Democratic Republican Independent 61% 24% 15% 17 16 Most serious for the Republicans is their relatively poor showing in the Midwest and in the West. If current Democratic leads were to hold through November, 1974, the G.O.P. would suffer heavy losses in their Coiigressional delegations in those regions. Equally serious is the weakness of the Republicans among older voters, normally strong for the G.O.P. but who now seem more shocked by the Watergate and Agnew disclosures than any other segment of the electorate. These results offer ample testimony to the damage that the events of the past six months have done to the Republican party as a whole. G.O.P. party chairman George TIFFIN ROOM Bush and other leading party spokesmen incumbent Republican Administration in have claimed that confidence in all the White House now dipping to all-time politicians and parties has declined as a lows, it is little wonder that present result of Watergate and that the Democrats Republican prospects for the 1974 off-year have probably lost as much ground as the elections seem dim. Notable in the contests for Governor taking place in New Jersey Republicans. Harris would seem to Survey The latest contradict this contention. likely voters were asked: “Regardless of how you may vote, what do you usually consider a Republican, a Democrat, or yourself — 1973 1972 1971 1968 48% 47% 49% 51% 27 25 30 23 31 20 32 17 Since 1968, voter loyalty toward the Democratic party has slipped some, but no more than 3 points, down from 51 to 48 percent. The hard-core Republican vote, meanwhile, has dropped by 5 points, from 32 down to 27 percent. The Independent category has been the beneficiary of the losses of the two major parties, rising from 17 to 25 percent of the total electorate over the past five years. The Democrats, however, are still close to holding an absolute majority in the country, while the Republicans are not only the minority party, but bid fair in the next few years if current trends continue to become smaller than the number of - - Independents. With a smaller base from which to operate, and with confidence in the 2nd Floor Norton Hall harris poll and Virginia this year, for example, has been the absence of any requests by Republican candidates for campaign help from either Mr. Nixon or prominent the associated with Republicans Administration. In 1974 contests for US. Senate and House seats and state governorships, if the current trend continues, it is likely that G.O.P. candidates will assiduously try to avoid national issues and run on local issues as much as possible.

Replacing four graduated starters will be no easy task, but Richardson feels he has holder of many of the scoring and all the rebounding records at Buffalo. “Right now,” said Richardson, “we have three possibilities for the center spot, listed in this order: Michael Jones, Thomas Tobias, and Jim Slayton.” Jones, a 6-614 freshman, and Tobias, a 6-5 junior college transfer from Kansas, are both newcomers to Buffalo. Slayton returns from Richardson’s junior varsity squad last year, where he started at center much of the latter part of the season. RC PIANO t Honer good condition *200. Call Joe 837-0720.

Rubin Spectrum Staff Writer The cross-country Bulls split their five-way meet last Wednesday at Niagara. Buffalo scored 15-48 victories over Canisius and Gannon, but dropped matches to Buffalo State and the Purple Eagles by 22-35 and 15-50. Niagara nosed out the Bengals 28-30 to sweep the meet. The split gave Buffalo a 6-10 record this season. Freshman Angelo Rivera surprised with his twelfth-place finish, pacing the Bulls along with captain Bruce Tuttle who finished one second after Rivera. Buffalo once again showed balance, placing runners in the 12th, 13th, 17th, and 19th spots. midpoint.” At that time, the first, third and fourth runners were Bengals, and Niagara was holding the seven remaining spots in the top ten. Afterwards, McDonough admitted that the Bulls were really outclassed: “I wasn’t expecting us to beat Buff State or Niagara too much, anyhow.” The race marked the second time this season that Buffalo has lost to the Bengals and the Purple Eagles. One of the most interesting events this season took place during the race. After the first handful of runners had crossed a pair or railroad tracks on the course, the gates came down and many of the remaining runners were forced to stop and allow a train to pass. This was by no means the first time that a train had held up a race at Niagara, observers noted. Injuries continue to haunt the Bulls. Bob Curtis is still missing from the lineup due to a shin injury and is not expected to run in tomorrow’s home meet against Brockport, but McDonough is hoping that he will be ready for the New York State Championships at Fredonia on Saver optimistic Though Coach Jim McDonough ventured no pre-race forecast, assistant coach Don Sauer noted: “They’re all within our reach.” However, McDonough conceded third place before the race was half over, commenting: “The positions aren’t likely to change drastically after the November 3. j PHONOGRAPH RECORD warehouse in West Seneca has openings for day and 2nd shidts.

Despite Mr. Nixon’s sudden decision Tuesday to surrender the Watergate tapes to the courts, the committee will “proceed full steam ahead” with its impeachment inquiry, said its chairman, Rep. Peter Rodino Jr. (D..N.J.). The committee will investigate any allegations of impeachable inquiry demanding impeached. that Nixon be Many liberals The committee has agreed to hire a special counsel and staff to investigate impeachable offenses charged against Mr. Nixon, and will seek authority for Mr. Rodino to unilaterally subpoena any tapes documents, or other evidence vital to the investigation. The committee, which has an unusually high proportion of liberal Democrats, did not decide whether to subpoena the files of special prosecutor ousted Archibald Cox. Meanwhile, top offenses committed by the President, Mr. Rodino said, and other members indicated these would include the secret 1970 Republican senators urged Mr. bombing of Cambodia, Mr. Nixon to appoint a new special Nixon’s impoundment of funds prosecutor, and said if he did not, appropriated by Congress, and the one should be appointed by U.S. aborted 1970 plan for burglary District Judge John Sirica. and wiretapping of domestic The House Judiciary Eight impeachment Committee is also responsible for radicals. resolutions, co-sponsored by a confirmation hearings on Vice total of 31 Democrats, were President-designate Gerald R. referred to the committee Ford. Mr. Rodino said staff work yesterday, and the 29 co-sponsors on the Ford nomination is of Rep. Jerome Waldie’s (D., Cal.) “moving forward.” The Senate impeachment proposal issued a Judiciary Committee, meanwhile, joint statement yesterday: is planning to summon Mr. Cox to “The President’s belated determine the extent to which Mr. action’’ to surrender the Nixon hampered other phases of Watergate tapes “removes only his investigation. Mr. Cox has one of the grounds on which we complained that he had been sought impeachment, and it denied access to other Presidential occurred only after the even papers and documents of his graver attempt to obstruct justice aides, which were shielded by by abolishing the office of the executive privilege. Congressional reaction to Mr. special prosecutor was carried out.” “We’re in the midst of the Nixon’s surrender of the tapes was impeachment process,” said Mr. guarded but positive. “Thank Waldie, adding; “I don’t think God,” said Sen. Barry Goldwater that this make-up, this cosmetic (R., Ariz). Sen.

Smith —Jansen Racist practices condemned “You can’t get rid of racism when the ruling class depends on it.” This assessment, by Robert Leonhardt of the National Committee of the Progressive Labor Party, helped launch the Student Association’s all-day Teach-In on Racism Wednesday. Expounding on the interdependence of racism and capitalism, Mr. Leonhardt told the Conference Theater audience: “Under capitalism there is a need for a reserve labor corps, with blacks at the bottom of the labor force.” Fighting racism is a matter of material interest to everyone, Mr. Leonhardt maintained, and “only under socialism can the basis of the profit system be ended.” Black Student Union member Hugh Basset said; “In 1973, black people should not be concerned with racism; genocide is a brand new ball game.” He cited the plight of American Indians as an example of the same “systematic” genocide currently affecting blacks. Equality abanoned Mr. Basset was unable to see any workable alliance between blacks and whites, pointing out the white student movement’s abandonment of racial equality in favor of protesting the Vietnam war. to Huey Newton, Eldridge Cleaver and Martin Luther King, he said blacks are without leadership roles because the ruling forces attack any black leaders “once they step out into the forefront.” The public school system came under heaviest attack for its “psychological killing,” a process of twelve years of brainwashing. IQ tests were viewed by Mr. Basset as instruments for subordinating blacks. He contrasted the abundance of free birth control devices with the lack of free medical benefits in the ghetto as another example of genocide. “It is too late to reverse the trend,” he contended. ‘To crush racism, we’ve got to destroy this whole goddamn system,” affirmed Sylvia Dick of the Progressive Labor Party. However, she disagreed with Alluding Mr. Basset’s pessimism regarding black-white unity. Racism in the classroom is “a vital, controversial issue in education today,” said Roger R. Woock, Chairman of the Department of Social Foundations of Education at Buffalo. He predicts that the 1970’s will see a “counter-attack” against the liberal, free school education of the ’60’s.” A general critique of the various institutions in the ’60’s produced this counter-offense. Dr. Woock claimed. One method of implementing stricter societal guidelines is by establishing racism as a biologically scientific fact. This is done at The State University of Buffalo course through the use of racist texts, said Charles Reitz, head of Buffalo’s Progressive Labor Party, who read what he considered racist passages from many current University texts. Anit-bUck bias alleged The Psychology of Learning and Instructions by DeCecco is a standard educational psychology text presently used at this University. This book contained many fallacies and half-truths, claimed Mr. Reitz. In one part of the text it states, “We shall frequently refer to intelligence and intelligence test scores as I.Q.,” Mr. Reitz quoted from the text. ‘The book then goes on to correlate blacks’ lower I.Q. scores with lower intelligence,” said Mr. Reitz. Dr. Woock indicated that this correlation was another means by which the present society maintains its power and control. Foundations of Psycholgy by Dr. Vinacke, currently being used as a basic Psychology 101 text, was also condemned for containing racist bias. “Cultural deprivation” is the reason given for the blacks’ “lack of intelligence” in this book, said Mr. Reitz. As indicated on a Students for a Democratic Society (SDS) handout regarding this text: “Vinacke implies that some people are inferior, i.e., less human than others. These theories of cultural deprivation are nothing but racist lies. Far from having damaged —continued on page 8— Soviet drops Mideast role after U.S. Army alert The United States ordered thousands of elite troops and Air Force units throughout the world, including some nuclear bomber crews, on “precautionary” alert yesterday after getting word Soviet troops might be sent to the Mideast for peace-keeping duty. Military sources said they could not remember an alert so widespread since the Cuban missile crisis of 1962. It affected virtually every American military base around the world to some extent. The alert was issued after Moscow delivered what Senator Henry M. Jackson, (D., Wash.) described as “a rough and brutal note” regarding the possibility the Soviets might unilaterally send troops to police the cease-fire. But following the worldwide U.S. military alert, the Soviet Union announced it would not insist on sending Soviet troops to the Mideast as part of a U.N. peace-keeping force to police the cease-fire. The Soviet announcement late yesterday assured passage of a U.N. resolution to send a peace-keeping force to the Mid east, but one which would exclude troops from v permanent members of the Security Council (U.S., U.S.S.R., China, Britain, France). Egypt requested Wednesday that the US. and Soviet Union send troops to police the Mideast cease-fire, but the U.S. rejected any form of superpower involvement, suggesting instead that a U.N. force excluding the Big Five powers be sent to the Middle East. Alert ‘precautionary’ “The United States has no intention of sending troops into the Middle East. We hope no other outside parties will send troops to the Middle East.” Informed sources sa id Secretary of State Henry Kissinger had told Soviet ambassador Anatoly Dobrynin it would be unwise for the Kremlin to act unilaterally to police the cease-fire. This followed demands by non-aligned nations that the U.N. send a peace-keeping force to the Mideast, and a note from Mr. Dobrynin to Dr. Kissinger regarding the possibility of sending Soviet troops to the Mideast. Dr. Kissinger said’ yesterday the United States is opposed to introduction of any troops from any major power in the Mideast. He conferred earlier this morning with President Nixon, then joined in a briefing for Congressional leaders before the alert was issued. House Speaker Carl Albert stressed afterward overwhelming that “the emphasis” was on a diplomatic solution to the Mideast war and that the alert was precautionary. Egypt asked Wednesday that a U.S. Soviet peace-keeping force be formed, but the United States quickly responded that it had no intention of joining in such a move. American sources said this was because the administration wanted to avoid any risk of a situation where troops of the superpowers might face each other in a combat situation. Several non-aligned countries called for the U.N. Security Council to create “immediately a U.N. emergency force under its authority” yesterday, and asked Secretary General Kurt Waldheim to report within 24 hours - of the resolution’s passage on steps taken to set it up. The United States reportedly sought to amend the resolution to have the U.N. cmbergency force exclude permanent members of the Security Council. Yesterday the Soviet announcement that it would not insist on sending Russian troops seemed to assure passage of the amended version. The U.S. move was seen as another ploy by Washington to prevent the cntcry of Soviet troops into the Middle East. It coincided with an alert of U.S. armed forces in response to reports of Soviet troop movements. “The United States believes that what is needed above all,” Dr. Kissinger said, “is a determination of the facts of who is in what position and who is doing the shooting. Then the Security Council can take action on the violations. “It is inconceivable that we should transplant the great power rivalries into the Mideast or that we should set up a great power condominium over the Mideast.” • �Drug law I holes What brand do you smoke? between all these types” once the leaves are ground by Hollis Raphael Editor’s up, he said. ‘That will only be possible after several years of study.” Dr. Reveal also said he believes, ‘There is no difference between Cannabis sativa and Cannabis indica. that is agreed with by about 90 per cent of my colleagues. But that is not a unanimous note: The following article was reprinted from the University ofMaryland’s Diamondback. Anybody who has been arrested for a marijuana violation might be able to get off scot-free, thanks to a recently-surfaced legal controversy over exactly what constitutes illegal marijuana. A defendant was freed in Florida state circuit court last April by pleading that only one vareity of marijuana, Cannabis sativa, was prohibited by law. The marijuana the defendant was caught with, the defesne said, in State v. Wilcox, might be any one of several types of marijuana, all of which are indistinguishable from each other. However, a similar defense was recently rejected by a New York federal court, which ruled that Congress intended to prohibit use of all varieties of marijuana, and therefore the type of defense used in State vs. Wilcox was inadmissible. Confidential Health excuses only accessible to students Have you ever missed an exam because of illness, only to receive a skeptical look from your professor? A new Health Service “excuse policy,” enabling students to obtain written verification of an illness, will take effect this semester. Previously, any faculty member demanding proof of an absence could phone or visit Health Service' personally to verify that a student had actually gone there on a certain date. However, said Student Rights coordinator Cliff Palefsky, the old policy was a “violation of confidentiality," asserting: “Anyone who identified themself as a faculty member in person, or even over the phone, could obtain what is sometimes privileged information pertaining to a student patient.” In a letter addressed to Paul Hoffman, director of University Health Service, Mr. Palefsky asked that only students be allowed to obtain verification of their visit by requesting it in person. Confidences respected Reluctant to institute the change. Dr. Hoffman did not feel that informing a teacher of a student’s visit to Health Service violated any confidences. Referring to the American College Health Association Guidelines, he said the faculty is entitled to receive information of this sort. Dr. Additionally, Hoffman predicted it would be more trouble to “ask a student to sign a paper in person to back him up because he missed an exam.” At the urging of vice president for Health Services Carter and Pannill Mr. Palefsky, Dr. Hoffman issued a memo outlining the new procedure: “No information, including the fact of a visit, may be transmitted outside of the Health Service without the written consent of the student patient.” The memo also specified that “with permission of the student, a nurse may transmit the fact of a student’s visit, and a physician may transmit the particulars of an illness.” However, it added; “Even with the student's permission, no detailed medical and absolutely not psychiatric information will be transmitted for evaluation purposes.” Supporting this change, Dr. Pannill said: “A student’s rights should be respected. The University is not anyone’s parent or guardian.” He added: “It is the student’s business to tell someone he went to seek care.” Sex is your business. Hrth Control is ours.

Whether there is more than one variety of marijuana, and whether current laws ban only one vareity, are subjects “of considerable controversy at the moment,” according to Roger Canaff of the federal Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA). The law in Maryland defines marijuana as “all parts of the plant Cannabis sativs L, whether growing or not; the seeds thereof; the resin extracted from any part of such plant, and every compound, manufacture, salt, derivative, mixture, or preparation of such plant, its seeds or resin ..except for certain limited legal uses. The federal Comprehensive Drug Abuse Prevention and Control Act, the Washington, D.C. marijuana law and the laws of many other states employ nearly identical language. Five types There is some contention, however, that Cannabis sativa is only one of five separate species of the weed, expalined James L. Reveal, assistant professor of botany at the University of Maryland. These five types are: Cannabis sativa, which today grows throughout Jthe world; and four types which grow mainly in Asia, Cannabis indica. Cannabis gigantea, Cannabis ruderalis and a yet unnamed species from Afghanistan. Cannabis sativa is the weakest hallucinogenic of the five species, Dr. Reveal said, but it is the one that grows most widely in the United States. “Cannabis sativa, in the strict sense, is not particularly hallucinogenic,” he explained. “You can go and pick half a ton of the stuff and maybe, maybe, get a high.” Mexican Cannabis sativa is said to be more potent a hallucinogenic than the American species, Reveal continued, but he speculated that the difference might be caused by the different climate or by the fact that the plant is not sativa at all, but the more potent indica. “Cannabis indica is exceedingly hallucinogenic,” Reveal said, while Cannabis gigantea, which grows to be. 20 feet tall, is probably the most potent species. Cannabis ruderalis, which is recognized by the US. government as a variety of marijuana, has never been studied for its hallucinogenic properties. Dr. Reveal said, but he added that he suspects it is a fairly mild plant. The Afghanistanian species, he continued, is about as potent as indica. “There is no way in the world to distinguish G ■vHSLO O* Air conditioned Free Parking Open 7 days a week 7 a.m. 12 midnight 10% Discount for Pick-up Table Service Gentleman: Photo rurh mo, in plain pock■ oat, the oomph oaoortmont of one dozen turn united pardon for full refund. w tr t 11 br cfciK*' 1 a mii | gf-r t* - ” " * * * Page two The Spectrum Friday, 26 October 1973 . . F o i J — - I I His opinion was countered by Mr. Canaff of the DEA. ‘The majority of the botanical community regards this (marijuana) as monotypic (of one species)” Canaff said. Nevertheless, Mr. Canaff added, “Some change will have to be made in the statutes.” As long as the US. government recognizes Cannabis ruderalis. Dr. Reveal explained, a defendant charged with illegal possession or sale of Cannabis sativa might be able to claim that his product is indistinguishable from ruderalis, which is not illegal. This was the defense used in (he Florida case of State v. Wilcox. If the prosecution cannot prove that the defendant’s marijuana is Cannabis sativa, a claim that might be accepted if the prosecution can show that the marijuana comes from the US., the court would have to throw out the case, Dr. Reveal said. But if the action of the New York federal court is upheld, he continued, and courts continue to declare inadmissible evidence based on the assumption that only sativa is illegal, the Wilcox defense would be worthless, he added. •STEAKS*CHOPS* flsnnrnf Aaoeiatoa, 106 North Columbia. |pl*OM print) iL CHINESE FOOD* Chap* HW.

At that time, several caucus members had strongly criticized the Executive Committee as being a closed clique which refused any sort of input from the general Assembly body. They accused the executives of dominating Assembly meetings because Mr. Saleh, as Chairman, would allegedly recognize only those members who agreed with Executive Committee attempting to censure Mr. Saleh before taking less drastic measures. “We brought up a censuring motion, but we really didn’t go t6 Dave Saleh and try to straighten things out,” Mr. Jackolone said. “When it comes down to cooperation between the two groups, we should talk things over instead of immediately censuring anyone.” ‘Pressure psychology’ Dismayed at the overwhelming support for Mr. Saleh, despite reports that more than 20 votes had been “lined up” against him before the Assembly meeting began, one caucus member said: “Everyone in here copped out. It’s a prime example of pressure psychology.” IN addition, the Assembly finally approved the much-delayed Athletic budget at $217,669 by a vote of 40-4-2. Treasurer Ken linker chided the Assembly decisions. Allegations After the motion to censure was read by Assemblyperson Leigh Lachman, stiff opposition erupted from several Executive Committee members. Adamant in her support of Mr. Saleh while extremely critical of the caucus. Student Affairs coordinator Judy Kravitz said: “I don’t think anyone’s worked harder at this school than Dave Saleh. He’s here from 8 a.m. to 1 1 p.m.” “Why don’t you go to an Executive Committee meeting before you criticize?” Ms. Kravitz told the Assembly. Responding to this remark, Assemblyperson Joe Michaeli said Executive Committee meetings were merely a formality and that questions of policy were actually decided far in advance. “Regular” Assembly members felt they would have no clout even if they did attend the meetings, he indicated. Contending the Executive Committee was receptive to the Assembly, SA President Jon Dandes berated caucus members for closing its own meetings to “members of the Student Assembly because they were supposedly connected with the Executive Committee." Once a week? “There’S rto one on campus who works harded for the general student body and who works harder at what they do than the Executive Committee, and Dave Saleh is among them,” Mr. Dandes said. “Meanwhile, the Student Assembly comes in here once a week? All that shows,” he continued, “is that we have an Assembly that’s not interested in finding out anything and one that’s not concerned with students.” Executive Committee member Frank Jackolone took issue with both the Assembly and the Executive Committee.

Some people out to do a little soul-searching in this place.” . Mr. linker’s remarks spurred further discussions on the Athletic budget. It was discovered that the motion passed by the Assembly actually reflected a budget “as approved by the Finance committee.” Student Rights coordinator Cliff Palefsky indicated the Finance Committee recommendation had been amended by the Executive Committee to eliminate the annual Athletic banquet and transfer its $1400 allocation to another budget line. The approved motion was amended to reflect this transfer. In other business, the Assembly voted to send telegrams to several legislators, calling for the impeachment of President Richard Nixon. cAURUM HANDCRAFTED AND ANTIQUE JEWELRY - — *1 IQSaaMAOOO A>P*JE / 883-6786 / TUE-SAI / \2Q-7SX)/ ©***•!!* Northtown Plaza Southgate Plaza 834-3330 674-4880 Friday, 26 October 1973 The Spectrum Page three . . �Science museum intrigues by Laurie Yankus Spectrum Staff Writer Regina sat on the seat of a bicycle pedaling with boundless energy, yet not moving an inch. The purpose of this activity was not to cover distance; Regina’s mechanical motion was being turned into electronic energy through a generator. Attached to the bicycle were three lights and a tape player. A sing above Regina’s head indicated if she pedaled hard enough the lights would go on and the music would begin to play. She pedaled with all her strength and the lights began to glow and the music played on. A grin of innocent pride brightened her face. This activity is part of one of the many exhibits at the Ontario Science Center where children are allowed to explore concepts through their senses of touch, smell and hearing. Friendship House, a tutorial organization.within Community Action Corps (CAC), sponsored a trip to the museum for its children. The children involved in the tutorial program come from a designated poverty area of Lackawanna. CAC financed the excursion because it offered beneficial and educational experiences to the tutors as well as the children. Mark Wywatta, project head of Friendship House explained: ‘The kids love the museum. With so many things to see, to try, and to leam about, they cannot help but have an emjoyable and rewarding >..* . time.”, f**: "* *••• Independent children The children managed to explore the museum on their own. To them, the. museum was an enormous labyrinth with buttons to push, peepholes to spy through and switches to manipulate. Although all the exhibits were fascinating, the children had special favorites. The Hall of Life was appealing because of the live animals displayed. Three generations of guinea pigs offered the child an introduction into genetics. A fish exhibit illustrated selective breeding. Another project showed the dependence of all lifeforms on plant's for oxygen. “Environment Earth” captured the interest of most children because of its ecological values. There were photographs of leaves damaged by air pollution. A life-size model of a future city car was also exhibited here. The car was built as a' possible solution to the problem of road congestion in cities and towns. It will carry four people and travel at 40 miles per hour. Musk hath charms The Science Aroade was perhaps the most fascinating area for the children. Electronic organs were placed in several booths for the public’s use. A poster above each organ described the process of electronic music. The Science Arcade also had a section on the system of levers and pulleys. The children would place themselves on a large lever and it would record their weights. One exhibit all the children explored was titled “Light and Shadows.” In this exhibit one would stand against a phosphorescent wall, a strobe light would be triggered and the person’s shadow would remain on the wall after he moved. In the Hall of Communications children played a challenging game of Tic Tac Toe with a computer. As the museum guide said: ‘The exhibits in the Hall of Communications make it clear that the computer is nothing more than a tool of man.” Elevator lovers Throughout the day, children were absorbed in pressing buttons and watching extraordinary things happen. They were equally excited by the rides up and down the elevators and escalators which moved them throughout the museum. One child was disappointed because the wax monsters she was expecting to find in the museum were “missing.” Another child felt the museum would make a good gym because of all the space. She was very contented to play hide-and-seek. Debra Petrillo, volunteer for Friendship House, summed up the importance of the trip; “It showed children the practicality of science instead of the abstractness they learn about in school. The Science Center taught science in a-fun way.” -iQllwlt VUM JwTj PINE, 'ood or Flakeboard -Cui and Concrete Blocks Diamonds are so timeless and, so is the art of the master goldsmith.

The Humanist. An attempt to update the Humanist Manifesto I, written in 1933 and signed by philosopher John Dewey, the Humanist Manifesto II was published in the Septembcr/October issue of The Humanist. It has been signed by over 200 leading thinkers across the world, including author Isaac Asimov; Crick, Francis co-discoverer of the DNA structure; molecular Andrei Sakharov, the dissident Soviet nuclear physicist; and behavioral psychologist B.F. Skinner. Discussing the widespread reactions the document has generated worldwide, Dr. Kurtz said: “This enormous response suggests there is a moral vacuum in the world and that people are looking for desperatelydirections.” The Manifesto claims: is an ‘Traditional theism unproved and outmoded faith,” and that humanism “can give personal meaning and significance to human life.” ... - Dogmatism attacked of immortal “Promises humans salvation .' distract from present concerns, from and from self-actualization, rectifying social injustices,” the heavily claims, Manifesto .. criticizing dogmatic, authoritarian religions and political ideologies. Asked whether organized religion is totally incompatible with humanism, Dr. Kurtz responded: ‘The Humanist Manifesto attacks religions only /those which individual.” the suppress to criticism that Responding humanism itself is a dogmatic said: Kurtz ideology, Dr. “Humanism does not have a creed nor any institutional authority. are Most humanists non-conforming, dissenting individuals who resist easy identification.” To the humanist, civil liberties, moral equality, and participatory democracy are imperatives in a society, Dr. Kurtz explained. The Manifesto regards the right to abortion and birth control, divorce, the right to euthanasia and suicide, and the right to universal education, as civil liberties. ' states: “We look to the development of a system of world II law and a world order based upon federal transnational government.” “My most fundamental ‘religious principle’ is world government,” said Dr. Kurtz. “Although I’m very fond / of the United Nations, I think it’s based on a fundamental the principle of the sovereignty of nations. We must go beyond this,” he added. — Ideological struggle In the current Mideast war. Dr. Kurtz said, ‘The U.N. is being used as merely part of the struggle,” He ideological advocates the creation of a world legislature, a world police force and a world court to solve disputes between nations. Although not speaking for the other signers of the Humanist Manifesto H, Dr. Kurtz discussed the question of worldwide detente and how to deal with nations with political repressive “I appreciate what Kissinger says. 1 think detente between the Soviet Union, China and the United States is crucial for the world. On the other hand, I’m very disturbed about the violation of human rights within Andrei Union. the Soviet internally Life with dignity ongoing the controversy over euthanasia and suicide, Dr. Kurtz commented; ‘The basic humanist value is life, since there is no after-life. But we also believe in the preciousness and dignity of the individual person and in freedom of choice. If an individual decides that life has no meaning, we might try to influence him otherwise, but it remains his own choice.” The Manifesto addresses itself to euthanasia only in the sense of the himself individual private requesting that he be allowed to “die with dignity,” Dr. Kurtz emphasized.

The Manifesto states: “Technology is a vital key progress human and to Noting that have developed humanism whether could he thought solve world problems, Dr. Kurtz answered: “It would be presumptuous of the humanists to say ‘We have solutions.’ We don’t think any group ha,s a monopoly on talent or moral righteousness.” Regarding the aims of the Manifesto, Dr. Kurtz said; “What we try to do here is to seek a common ground which people of different opinions can share. 1 don’t think social change is based development.” Since the Humanist Manifesto II was published, new signers have included feminist Betty Friedan, black leaders James Farmer and A. Philip Randolph, philosopher A.J. Ayer, and the founder of UNESCO, Sir Julian Huxley. “Unfortunately most people’s reactions are based, not on merely upon violence, but upon negotiation. And ideas play an important part in negotiation. To publish a manifesto or position paper in the midst of ideological debate does have important consequences.” u,f JET ELECTRONICS RSKS DO YOU - - Need a new Attorney General?

Now we must stress, over and over again if necessary, that without widespread response from the public, impeachment talk will fade from a cautious Congress. Fortunately, a stong public demand for Mr. Nixon's impeachment has assailed the Congress in the last few days in the form of letters and telegrams. Several Congressmen, including ones on the House Judiciary Committee which is now broadening its inquiry into the grounds for impeaching Mr. Nixon, reported that their offices have been deluged by mail overwhelmingly in support of impeachment. This University must add its support to that response. Many groups, both local and national, are already mobilizing for rallies and united action to support impeachment, but the single best vehicle for influencing toward impeachment Congress remains a massive letter-writing campaign. Write letters, send telegrams, or mail in the coupon from Wednesday's The Spectrum to your Congressman or House Speaker Carl Albert. Anyone wishing a copy can obtain one at 355 Norton Hall. Mr. Nixon's veto yesterday of the Congressional war powers bill is just one more example of his disregard for the Constitution which invests the legislature with that responsibility. Fortunately, few people were satisfied by Mr. Nixon's forced surrender of the tapes, recognizing the whitewash he accomplished when he fired Mr. Cox: the investigated firing the investigator. It is also obvious that the entire tapes "compromise" was a sham, a pretext to oust Mr. Cox, after trying to impede his investigation in every way possible, because Cox was too close to blowing the whistle on other illegalities as well. Inaction means you endorse this one-man rule. Send those letters to Congress right now; Congressmen are measuring the response; it will have an effect. Together we can make our voices heard. The right to speak the 'TTour cxi Looking GIqbh by Barry Kaplan The surprise move on Tuesday by President Nixon concerning the release of the presidential tapes caught many observers unaware; however, a careful study of the past year’s events would uncover a pattern of obstruction and delay in which this action by the President, although shocking due to its rapidity, would find its own niche. The last 12 months have witnessed the gradual unfolding of a all related in style and conglomerate of scandals seemingly leading to the Oval office of the White House. To many analysts, it seems as if the White House has attempted to obstruct or render ineffective any investigation that might lead to the arrest and conviction of criminals in high places. The constitutional controversy which has engrossed the nation and made instant celebrities out — “plumbers group” should begin to form a pattern Why does the President of the United States, with all of the resources of the government available to him, turn to a secret police force in order to uncover “leaks” in government security? The list could go on and on, but the pattern of corruption and high crimes is becoming clear. Mr Cox and his team of investigators were not just investigating the so-called Watergate incident they were attempting to unravel a complex criminal operation of which Watergate was only the tip. All of the above-mentioned scandals, which happened to — under former Attorney General Mitchell, are key items in Mr. Cox’s investigation. Thus, Mr. Cox was really dismissed not for overstepping some imaginary Presidential prerogative, but because he was putting the heat on a group of highly-placed politicos. It is nothing short of obscure musty legal professors is not the main of ironic that the investigator was fired by the man concern of the people who would like to see justice. he was investigating.

For the past few weeks, an intense letter-writing debate over whether or not Mr. Maddox should be permitted to speak here took place on the editorial pages of this newspaper. The basic argument advanced by those fervently opposed to the Maddox speaking engagement was, quite simply: Maddox -is a racist, he should not be permitted to pollute students' minds, we should not use Student Association funds to pay this man, no free speech for racists. We certainly attempt no defense of Mr. Maddox's political prejudices. The man is a self-admitted racist; no one is denying that fact. But to deny this man, whatever his views, the same right to freely express those views that everyone else enjoys is to apply the same fascist tactics of which people are accusing him. Many students on this campus have no idea who Lester Maddox is; even more are probably totally unfamiliar with his views. The cause of anti-racism would undoubtedly be far better served by allowing Mr. Maddox to speak here and permitting the students to see just where this man stands. Outraged radicals are obviously blind to their own double standard when they argue that Mr. Maddox's views are such that he doesn't "deserve" the right to free speech. For all their diatribes against fascism, they attempt to apply fascist logic in suppressing the opinions of an extremist. This is as bad in its own way as the Nixon administration's ostensibly-aborted 1970 plan for bugging and burglarizing domestic radicals. Speaker's Bureau chairman Bob Burrick has attempted to bring interesting, controversial figures to this campus. They have ranged from liberal Supreme Court Justice William O. Douglas to Mr. Maddox. We find Mr. Maddox's views abhorrent, and for that very reason insist that people should be encouraged to hear what he has to say and make up their own minds about him. The same logic that would allow the misguided "anti-racists" to bar Mr. Maddox from speaking could be applied in repressing students, burglarizing political dissidents or censoring newspaper editorials. "I may not agree with what you say, but I'll defend to the death your right to say it," said Voltaire. Free speech is for everyone extremists included. ... - Rage six The Spectrum Friday, 26 October 1973 . re . * - ’ ■ •— - — — — Wednesday morning, October 24, about 11:40 or so somebody walked off with a tape recorder from the Student Counseling Center. It was a JVC Cassette AM/FM radio. I had had it for maybe two weeks. It is hard for me to know quite what to do in such a case. It is extremely difficult for me to spend money on myself. I shopped around for a tape recorder and in order to save a little money, waited a really long time for it to be delivered. It doesn’t feel as if it was a total extravagance. 1 needed to be able to make tape recordings in the process of being a psychologist and it seemed to be all right, in that case, to buy a good one that I could also use for music. So I .left myself vulnerable. I bought something of value. And somebody ghosted through and grabbed it. I don't have a hell of a lot of money, and with caution. Living in a world where relaxing your guard for ten minutes costs you something you can ill afford fucks me up badly. I’m sorry that everybody in the world can’t have tape recorders such as the one that was stolen, but I cut comers and did without other things to get that one. I want it back.

Accept abortion To the Editor: “I may not believe in what you say, but I will defend to the death, your right to say it.” This statement should be applied to the current controversy over abortion, in that women must be allowed to express their beliefs on abortion. Pro pr con must be allowed to exist. If the current bill allowing abortion is repealed, the women who are pro-abortion, who might desire an abortion, will be forced to submit to the rape and torture of the anti-abortionists. The existing law permits both opinions to exist. If you don’t want an abortion, don’t have one! ABORTION; THE RIGHT TO LIFE. These are two conflicting sentiments that viciously chase each other in a never ending circle, which is drawing ever increasing debates into it’s emotion charged vortex. A statement that women’s rights must be protected invokes an empassioned appeal for the rights of a fetus. Conversely, an attempt to state that abortion is a form of slaughter, is righteously denied. Where is compromise? it does exist The Population Explosion there are too many people. Projections that Buffalo will lose 97,000 in population, by the year 2000, have dismayed Mayor Makowski, as he feels that “the projection could well discourage future business but he has enough developments in the city confidence in the city’s future to believe that the trend of dropping population can be, and will be, reversed.” Supposedly we need more people to increase business. This seems ludicrous in view of the FACT that “six per cent of the world’s population (the United States) is consuming fifty per cent of the world’s dwindling resources.” Abortion, a form of birth control, must be accepted in the United States. We the American people, cannot be selfish. We must reduce our population before the Technology we have so proudly erected, for the benefit of mankind, crumbles, as it’s basic raw materials, vanish. - - . .

But I believe it. I believe* that when those men fought Hitler, they were fighting the secret police. They were fighting for the idea America was a nation of laws, not men, a nation with a Constitution, not a fuehrer. In his recent actions as President, Nixon has been spitting on the graves of all those men who will be remembered across the country today. Earlier this year, Nixon through Elliot Richardson, assured the Senate Judiciary Committee that Archibald Cox would be allowed to go wherever Watergate took him. Of course, that was before the existence of the tapes became known. In the middle of Friday night, Nixon double-crossed the Senate. Today it is clear that those tapes must prove Nixon is a criminal or he would have obeyed the Appeals Court order. Instead he reverted to character. He announced a unilateral “compromise,” a contradiction in terms. who is, According to this “compromise/’ Nixon criminal proceeding all, this prime suspect in after would write a summary of the taped evidence against him. It would be checked out by Sen. Stennis, a Mississippi racist, and a supporter of the killings in . I ■ Clearly, this man Nixon must be impeached. All Congressmen and other politicians must make this move now. Republicans must lead the way. Nelson Rockefeller, Jacob Javits and James Buckly no longer can afford silence or timidity. They claim that Watergate was not a Republican conspiracy. Now they can act on that belief. Today, with three lawmen gone, it is more clear than ever that Nixon is the gang-leader, and the White House crime wave is his personal responsibility. The Democrats must also act. Their first move should be to meet in caucus tomorrow and have Carl Albert step down as Speaker of the House. Albert is a nice man, but he is not a President; he drinks too much, and has minimal intellectual and political stature. But the Democrats could make Wilbur Mills the new Speaker. He is apparently honest. He is conservative enough to obtain respect from Republicans. He is not an ideologue or a foreign adventurer. He understands economics and might be able to rebuild the economy that has been destroyed by Nixon and his power happy gang of nihilists. Mills would make a good interim President; he could even choose Cox, or a leading Republican as Vice President. . � him, having it checked by Hugh Addonizio, and then firing Brooklyn DA Gene Gold for not accepting it. . ■ It is Veterans Day, and after all those wars, we find ourselves living in the latest reel of “Z.” Doesn’t anyone remember why all that blood was spilled on Omaha Beach? Or why all those young men left Red Hook and Fordham Road and the Village, to die in the sand at Tarawa? Why did those young men die at Saipan or get machine-gunned in the Belgian forests in 1944? Why did they die at Anzio? Why are the hills dense with crosses in Arlington? Why the hell did all those young men die? I know this: they did not die so that a person like Richard Nixon could defy the courts of this democracy. They did not die so that the secret police could come in the night and seal the files of Archibald Cox. They did not die so that a Richard Nixon could pollute the institution of the Presidency, staff the White House with criminals, obstruct justice, wage secret undeclared wars, authorize extortion in the raising of campaign money, stash secret funds in safe deposit boxes, and transform his private property at San Clemente into a tinhorn Versailles. They died for better things than Richard Nixon has given us.

Smith, professor of Psychology at the University of Wisconsin, cited an experiment in which arbitrary test scores were randomly assigned to students in the beginning of a semester. Their teachers were informed of each student’s score, the scores being totally unrelated to the student’sability. It was found that students’ and teachers’ expectations for the student during the rest of the semester, based on the arbitrary scores, interacted to actually cause the student to do either well or poorly, depending on whether the student received a high or low artitrary score on the sham test. In the same way, lower achievement by blacks is produced by ingrained bias in the exams they take and by lower expectations on the part of the teachers, Dr. Smith explained. When he controlled the psychological tests of prisoners, Dr. Smith said, he found that he could fudge the results to varying degrees and no one would discover the data manipulation. That same fudging could occur in any kind of psychological testing, he maintained. ‘Testing is the center of academic fascism, of academic racism in this country,” Dr. Smith stated. Science which fragments studies into abstract, unrelated, unintegrated pieces must be replaced by a science which fully integrates knowledge into a more complete whole. Dr. Smith said. People live in systems, and the systems must be studied as a whole to see the total effect on the people, he concluded How you express yourself depends ipon you camera. prosecutor because Archibald Cox was too hot on the special White House trail.” ABC News reported that hours before Mr. Cox was fired and his offices sealed by FBI agents, he had been given information about a m il 1 i o n-d ollar “private investment portfolio” set up and administered for Mr. Nixon by his close friend Charles “Bebe” Re bozo. White House press secretly Ronald Ziegler denied the report. ‘Firestorm of controversy’ The White House said Mr. Nixon’s decision to relinquish the nine tapes, minus sections dealing with national security, was made to quell the “firestorm of controversy” following the ouster of Mr. Cox and Deputy Attorney General William D.

Presidential assistants said “very and anguished painful discussions” with his staff convinced Mr. Nixon to abandon his convictions and surrender the tapes.

People are doing sports stories, nature stories, portraits—you may even have a friend who s doing photographs through a microscope Or a telescope You also know that everybody has his own idea about which camera is best. That s why it's important for you to know about the Canon F-1. Because it's the system camera that s fast becoming the favorite of professionals And the new status symbol among photography enthusiasts. The whole F-1 systerh includes over 40 lenses and 200 accessories. It’s capable of doing virtually everything in photography So whatever idea you have for a picture, the F-1 has the equipment to make sure you get it. Because it was conceived from the beginning as a system, it works as a system. All the elements are quickly and easily interchangeable No matter which lens or accessory you use with the F-1 body you won't have the feeling that something has been “tacked on." What's more the F-1 is comfortable to handle. Years of research went into the design of the F-1 body and placement of controls so your fingers fall naturally into place. You 'll appreciate this comfort when you’re on assignment It's also an important thing to keep in mind if you re investing in a camera you plan to keep a long time. Canon has been in the optics industry over 37 years. We make microscope equipment, amateur and professional movie cameras and TV lenses. It's this experience that helps make our still cameras the best selling cameras in Japan. In America, it's just a matter of time. See your dealer for more information. He'll also show you Canons other SLR cameras, like the FTb arid TLb. Both of which offer accurate metering, easy film loading, a wide rapge of lenses and the same standard of engineering that goes into the F-1. Canon USA. Inc . 10Nevada Drive. Lake Success.

The experience will take form and the involvement will differ with intensity and velocity for each media. Paul Weissman had a one-man show in the music room at Norton Hall. The show included a series of Paul's photographs dealing with an idea. I found the image quality and direction in the work fulfilling. I returned a few times to re-experience the prints and to come to terms with what Paul asked us to do upon viewing his work. This brings about a point for thought. Next to the first image Paul had this note: "These photographs do not have titles, as I feel it is alien to their purpose. Their end: to recreate the excitement felt when my eye arrived at the place where the photograph was taken. Their purpose is to be looked at closely." When looking at images, the image is what stimulates the thought. The thought becomes the experience. The object was photographed and printed when Paul's eye arrived at the place (I wonder if he was there before his eye.). Misguided friends? The print becomes, for the maker, the total experience. We as viewers can only relate to the visual form forced upon us by the image maker. » 4 •• Indians. Which was stupid. I knew nothing about them and immediately realized that I was much too white and too naive. I stopped any notions and decided to let things happen." Camera at personality To let things happen. To experience the process of change. Of course, being there with your camera does affect the situation. At times, it acts as a catalyst between you and what's out there. There is a difference between knowing what you want to record and letting the process of seeing happen. It is only through time that one becomes aware of this. When a viewer looks at a show, sometimes the idea of how the maker may feel about it appears. About her feelings, Jerry said: "I feel very close to them, my work. When I was in the darkroom making the prints I would become very excited, so that I would jump up and down and even sing a little. To see the image of a person coming out of the tray that I've been close to would cause so much energy that I would be very happy." Looking at the photo of a very close person this sensation is hard to talk or write about. Next — time it happens, think about it. Try to understand its relationship to the moment. And if you record it, does that feeling follow through or is it lost on the contact sheet? The more we talked about her experience, the more excitable she became. Jerry told me about the people, things she did with them, and what they were like. The more we talked the more I understood her work to be of her experiences, the reliving of a time through a print. "But, I wasn’t shooting all the time," Jerry continued. "At times it was very cold, my film would rip, shutter would freeze, I just had a lot of mechanical problems. At times it wasn't the right time to photograph. Let's say, respecting the people." A photographer intrudes with a camera, recording moments in the lives of an unsuspecting people. What is his responsibility to them? Jerry said it well; "Respecting them." Returning with all that film and all those images, what happens? "When I came back. I went through a lot of head trips and still am. I'm not sure I should show the work. They are very private photographs to me, they are part of me. I've been told they are more of me than of them. I feel they are both. They are very special to me and I know they are going to be interpreted in many different ways. So, I've become protective of them. I don't what them to be misinterpreted." Anyone who has created anything puts himself into it. It becomes you; you have exposed yourself. To realize that about yourself, to live with it, do you really want other people to see you? ~ From that form we create our own experience. For I experienced," is absurd. We experience only the work. After seeing the series of photographs and reading the comments left there in a historical-monumental notebook, I realized that very few of the friends of photography experienced anything but the niceties of writing their comments in a 3%x5 spiral recorder. Possibly that could be the true experience of Paul's work. If an image maker wants you to experience what he recognized and thought about, then he must grab you and pull you into that image, make you become involved completely. Take a deep look at Adams' and Weston's images and experience their feelings. If you are visually receptive at all you will breathe deeply and have nothing to say. It is hard to verbalize about a visual experience. any artist to say, "Experience the moment that Another artist Still thinking about the maker-object-viewer relationship, I recently talked to Jerry Zbiral about her show opening in Montreal, Canada next week. Jqrry is a graduate student in photographic studies at the Visual Studies Workshop in Rochester, N.V. (this university’s extension program). Most of our discussion centered around her experience and not her prints. To talk about her images would be a waste; they are to be viewed and not verbalized. The work has become the visual proof of her experience. Whether or not it is the equivalent of the experience is another matter. What does matter is her intent. Her work deals with two separate visits with the Chee Indians at Fort George in Northern Canada. What Jerry relayed to me was her experience with the people. I approached her first to ask how she went up there. Did she have a preconceived idea of what she wanted to photograph? Jerry responded, "I went up there with a preconceived idea of photographing the Parting questions What was her intent, her visual statement? She made it very clear to me what it isn't. "It's not an anthropological, photojournalistic, geographic documentary. That stuff doesn't go beyond the surface. For me this was an experience. That's what I'm relating to you point-blank. The work represents a really fine, warm experience with these people. It does not show how they hunt, or play with their kids. I am showing you my experience with them, that's all." Jerry felt that the difference between a documentation and an experience was that she didn't show a complete aspect of their lives. Her "my interaction with the experience is just that happens, happens; to walk down Whatever people." these the street, to film a love, to record a party are all experiences. To record and show these images could be one of the strongest statements you can make, if those are the terms you present your work — — It then comes down to "what is your work about, what is your visual statement, and what are the terms you are working on?" In the case of Jerry and her work on the Chee Indians, they are her experience of a place in time and space. If you have the opportunity to see the show in Montreal, you will see what Jerry saw and chose to show you. You cannot experience what the image maker does; you can only experience in your way and at your own level of understanding. Here are two photographers. One asked you to experience the excitement of what his eye saw and the other to look at her experience. Tjhey are very much the same, yet at the same time, very different. FHday, 26 October 1973 The Spectrum Page nine . . �'Hit' Fast paced and believable That long-used and most often-abused theme of vengeance comes out once again in Paramount Pictures' new release. Hit. Written by Alan R. Trustman and David M. Wolf, the story line is a good one. Billy Dee Williams stars as a man working for the government (most like the FBI). His fifteen year old daughter dies from an overdose of heroid and Williams wants revenge. He's intent on going right to the source; in this case, the biggest drug dealers in Marseilles, France. Of course, he can’t do it alone, so he scouts around the country, gathering together six people who, like Williams, would give anything to see the big dealers put away. Williams is the type of cop whose only concern is to "get the job done," whatever the circumstances. In this case the obstacles are his superiors, who insist 'that a venture like this would simply strain U.S.—French relations too much. So Williams and his cohorts become a vigilante group, taking the law into their own hands, because the government won’t.

True, each one of them has a hazy background, but we find out that they are people too; possessing all the emotions and feelings that everyone else has. The film is extremely long (over two hours), but well-paced. It rarely drags and yet it's not so fast as to scorch the brain. There are a few scenes in the movie which could be clipped, but it's not necessary. No one scene hinders the film. Hit is for a particular audience: one that likes fast-paced action, mixed in with real emotions and striking individual personalities. As far as plot goes, one can expect a French Connection type story, featuring drugs, murders, and plenty of action. The difference lies in the relationships among the actors. Together they make a police story with more depth than is found in the usual cold-blooded cop who roams the streets in search of his prey. So there it is. Old theme different style . . good film.

RC % AMHERST UNIVERSITY PLAZA Page ten The Spectrum Friday, 26 October 1973 . Acting makes a hit If nothing else, the acting is very adequate. Billy Dee Williams once again proves himself to be an excellent actor. He’s the leader in this wild goose chase and his persistent qualities of determination, sincerity, and manliness are never in doubt. Richard Pryor, one of the gang, is definitely on his way to becoming a superstar. At times he's very comical, and just like that his face can change into a deadpan image of morbidity. Pryer deserves more speaking lines in this movie. His talent is not wasted, but neither is it used to its fullest potential. Paul Hamptpn, Gwen Welles, Warren Kemmerling, Janet Brandt, and Sid Melton round out the remainder of Williams' mob. None of them are outstanding in their roles, but they are the type of actors who are needed as support for the film. Unlike other police stories. Hit displays a fresh cohesiveness, not only among the actors, but with the camera work too. This is not very surprising, as director Furie, producer Harry Korshak, photographer Alonzo, editor Argyle Nelson and actors Williams, Pryor, Melton, and Hampton all worked together in Lady Sings the Blues. i Dean Stockwell does a much better job as the werewolf than as the press secretary. He looks as if he's spent the last two years in prison. His face is tired and drawn and so is his acting. He couldn't convince the Arabs that Israel was their enemy. Jack Whittier (Stockwell), as the werewolf, terrorizes the populace of Washington, D.C. The actual filming of the werewolf's murders was done well. Each one is shown in slow motion with some haunting special effects. Especially effective is a scene in which the werewolf attacks the editor of a Washington magazine. The audience is given a full view The film is well put together. Director Sidney J. Furie works well with this familiar theme, mainly due to the fine camera work that's used. Photographer John Alonza does a superb job with moods and scenery. The film is much more authentic-looking than most cop stories in which there is so much perfection that credibility is often questionable. Hit appears to be more like a film newsclip than a staged setting. Believability is doubtful during the planned murders. All nine murders depend precisely on perfect timing. Williams and his mob succeed, but it appears so simple a job that one begins to wonder if maybe a bunch of ten-year-olds wouldn't pull it off. Even though this may be the weakest part of the film in terms of credibility, the fine acting and direction seem to make up for this one weak spot in the story line. ■ - r - clip and tava J j �I The ever-1o ve/y California copping-out-from-th e-rat-race by Mark Kirtchenbaum Spectrum Arts Staff My Pen Tab wire-bound theme book is filling up with drafts of reviews for this movie.

Rarrow Spectrum Art Critic For a moment I thought I was witnessing the storming of a palace. Outside the crowd crunched forward with the demonic ugliness of a snake. Inside the pedicured repose of velvet and gilded arabesque issued catarrhs of dust. Defiantly exercised; everyone had the angry and envious, "I am me" look. What was to be a night of nights at the Sotheby Parke Bernet galleries was just now a flash-back to the Pop Art happenings of the early 60's and the late 50's. It was the scene-, it was a $2,242,000 art auction of Pop Art. The connection between art and reality has always been an important consideration for understanding and demythicizing the complex, yet imperturbably mute existence of painting and sculpture. The reality of this sale was money, pure and simple, money. What was to be a sale laden with historical value judgements, jingoistic worries about the flight of a national treasure, and interest centering around the motives and erstwhile response of the man who put the items up for sale; were practically forgotten. Who buys? These questions were finessed with the turnover of the art from Robert Scull, the energetic collector, who was in on the market early. Other private collectors arrived later. The new purchasers for the most part were speculators; dealers who can swing the cash and stay with the waiting period, or a monied few who have figured out that pictures not only have a high appreciation value but can be looked at as well. This is said because, on the entire list of purchasers, there is a total of only one museum which has successfully bid on a work, one painting out of fifty paintings and sculptures that had been offered for sale. And this painting, the very fine White Fire II by Barnett Newman, purchased by the Kunst Museum in Basel bears the blight which speculators both fear and scorn; a small damage on the margin between two stripes of paint. However, this point may be overrated. Some may think the feature of a Barnett Newman resides in the iconic tension of color that exists from the exact interaction of the margins. Second-hand “Fire" Well, Fire can be touched up without any loss to it's visual properties, the matter is one of scholarship not art. But to certain people it's like buying seconds from a discount store. Perhaps, museums relying on public funds should hire people expert enough to buy, or more properly recognize, art quality before it enters the dog fight of the auction arena. The fact is that museum people were there en masse and those from Europe had come to spend money. It was just too much money, sums which would freeze their collection. A museum buys for keeps and cannot look at its purchases with the flexibility of private investors. Museums buy with a sense of reason and not with an anticipation of investment success based on changing taste or economic fluctuations. They try to establish a basis of quality that suits the needs of their particular museum. That is, most of the works in the auction were priced beyond any real concern for their conceptual value as art. The auction itself established a number or record sale prices. Jasper Johns' Double White Map wwas sold for $240,000 and his small sculpture of bronze ballantine ale cans went for $90,000. Fundamental idea Johns' is the father of conceptual ist and post conceptualist thought; a fact which cannot be overstated. Additionally his basic concern for establishing objective criteria art from within an expressive source spawned the hard edge and optical abstractions of Stella, Noland and Poons. Marcel Duchamp with his dada impulse to place readymades in a gallery context, his harrowing substitution of mechanical parts for human sensory organs and the general hysterical sterility of his work, were all done as a view to consider the perceptual reality of art. Jasper Johns fashioned his targets, maps and objectified objects by hand; he examined the perceptual source of reality. Both Johns and Duchamp raised the same questions as to the nature of art but like the two sides of a coin, their answers were mental complements but opposite actualities. In total Johns' work was sold for over half a million dollars. The $240,000 paid for the double white map was the highest price paid for a painting by a living American artist. It's interesting that the purchaser, Ben Heller would choose such a work because he, as a private collector, recently sold Blue Poles, a late work by Jackson Pollock for two million dollars to a museum in Australia. Both Johns' and Pollock's works are considered to be painting examples that came about years after the artists' supposed great period had passed. done white "ghost" versions of other things before but Double White Map is of the greatest monumentally. All things being relative, the early Larry Poons op painting Enforcer, burning glows of blue dots on a red field, was a good buy for $25,000 and the Rosenquist Early in the Morning ($45,000) was one of the most poetical things he has ever done. The most obvious result of the Auction was an increase of Rauschenberg's, Newman's and Johns' stock, white strangely suspending thought on the excellent sculpture of John Chamberlain.

The Johns' double map is not as dramatic but rather the most sublime of the map series. He had Pollock's "Poles” The Pollock is a far greater work because it is so radically different from his recognized great work yet incorporates all of its best features.

It has been my personal experience to witness people, not previously familiar with the man's music, (and not liking 'folk' music) to come but of a Watson performance shaking their heads and sparking off about how the man impressed them. That's mainly because Doc is the very, very best of his breed. Watson is a traditional singer functioning in the modern music scene without compromising his root; he learned many of his songs from his father and uncles. Good ol' Arther 'Doc' Watson and his son, Merle (named for Merle Travis) will demonstrate their musical talent in Clark Hall this Sunday at 7:30 and 10:00 p.m. Watson excells at all kinds of guitar playing, both flatt-picking and finger-picking in the famed Merle Travis style. Furthermore, it isn't all just bluegrass or country picking. Doc is well acquainted with all styles of music. He listened to all the Old Carter Family records when they were coming out on 78's following right along with Maybell Carter. He is also fond of Jimmy Rodgers' songs: When it's peach pickin' time in Georgia/lt's gat picking time for me. On the old Gershwin chestnut “Summertime" Doc proves he could be a great jazz guitarist. Time magazine recently noted Watson is a "regular country-music Segovia." Hell this music ain't nothin, Doc would say. No high-minded Segovia in it. You see Doc was not much of a "professional" musician when he was found by the folklorist (and ex-Greenbriar Boy) Ralph Rinzler in the early 1960's. He was just another old ol' boy doing his picking. He was well known in his community but he wasn't traveling all over the world, Africa and such, with people making over him about his playing and singing. In fact, when Rinzler "found" him. Doc was giving up the oldtime music for the music of a country swing band (or maybe we'd say rock-a-billy), playing electric guitar. So when Watson sings Paxton's "Last Thing on My Mind,", no one should scream "compromiser!" It's not a valid criticism of Doc.

It has to be seen talent in the first floor cafeteria coffeehouse each week? No sir, that ain't anyway to treat folks that are near addicted to looking for good fun on a Friday or Saturday night! We give up, and the word is out, all the people that caught the Eric Justin Kaz preformance in the coffeehouse last weekend are bound to create more leaks than all the king's plummer's could handle in a year and heard to be believed.

Bill Staines comes back to our town for about the time, having been very at the '72 and '73 Buffalo folk festivals. He also saing to the coffeehouse crowd on a bill with Fox Watson last year. Staines is sometimes referred to as Boston's best performer. He plays his guitar up side-down and backwards, being a lefty and self-taught. No one was around to tell Bill he was doing something fourth warmly received just a might unusual. Whether playing other people's songs, or his own compositions, or some of his favorite country standards, his music is just fine. Staines is most friendly with his audience usually submitting to the requests for yodel ing songs, or the "Staines Concerto in E for Trumpet", another incredible crowd pleaser. Don't be misled by what you read, however, he does Both Fox remarkable and Bill of way have a intergrating the contemporary 'folkie' image a sense of respect for the and traditions of the musicians who have oldtime played the music all their lives. Fox Watson has visited many of the fiddlers' conventions held throughout the south, taking in the styles and tunes from all the oldtimers. Bill Staines also has a real respect for the Appalachian traditional music and people. So if you're walking round the world this weekend and someone whispers "coffeehouse" or "Country sounds", or "Staines", pick up on the hint.

Alt romantic interest falls flat-who could love a zombie robot? In the epepisode Wine, Women, and War Austin, to stop a nuclear-weapon black marketeer, blows up an island with an atomic blast from a polaris war missle. He thereby gets his revenge for his two friends who were killed (totally annihilating the island in the process, although no one seemed to consider that). While the physical attributes of a robotoid man, such as swimming 35 mph thru exploding bombs or jogging at a leisurely 60 mph might be considered science fiction, the plotline from this show is pure propaganda. Don't be brainwashed. Give’me the good old days with spy stories full of good, cleart fun, like Man From UNCLE. Rod Serling spoke out against TV decadence. Nothing could illustrate the source of his complaints more than the new "sci-fi" drama featured once a month at 8:30 on ABC. The Six Million Dollar Man began as a made-for-TV movie. I'm sorry I missed it, it would have saved me the agony of an open mind. Our star is Lee Majors who takes time off from Owen Marshall to ruin another program. He portrays Steve Austin, a cross between James Bond and Superman, but a poor imitation of both. Steve proves how much the dollar has been devalued; it took six million to rejuvenate him into a human cybernaut. "I'm nobody's robot," Austin proclaims. He doesn't dare place the blame on anyone. Ninety minutes of weak plot are spread out with Major's super-strength allowing for super-violence and an unconcern for the enemy's death. Each line is said with the same boring intonation.

Bedelia leaves her doctor in one scene after agreeing to put her baby up for adoption. Inside the waiting room there is a long close-up of a child playing and smiling, and baby pictures cover the wall.

You hear them somewhere at a friend's house, on the radio, in a record store and it's some of the greatest music you've ever heard. So you run out and buy the album and play it (to the horror of your more rational friends) overandoverahdoverandover until you know every riff of every instrument and all the words on every song. After a month or two or three you can't help but get a little bored of whoever it is, so you only play the disc once a day then once every two weeks three weeks... Then one day, once a week your friend from home who you haven't seen in six months comes up to visit. You just happen to put on your old favorite. You start to talk to him, but your foot keeps tapping to the music. He's telling you about ehe Way It Is Back Home when all of a sudden he sits up, his eyes clear from their dope-filled haze, and he says: "Hold it. Who is this guy?Tve never heard him before. He's great!" You can't beleive it. You can't accept the fact that after all you've gone through with this record, your close friend whom you thought knew you so well has no idea about this small part of your life. "Are you kidding? You've never heard of Doc Watson?" "Who's Doc Watson?" and you're into country music (although I don't see how that is possible), this is a rite good thang fer yoo ta hyear. -Willa Bassen — — — — - A Song for Juli Jesse Colin Young (Warner Bros.) Although it's very well produced and arranged and has excellent musicians on it, Jesse Colin Young's new album, A Song for Juli is singularly unimpressive. In fact, it's a disappointment. When he was with the Youngbloods, Young's music had something special. He had a very wide spectrum, ranging all the way from the sweet and mellow to the get up-and-dance music. On A Song for Juli his music still encompasses a broad range, extending from fair to saccharin, with a few shades in between. Young s arrangements are well done, and his production work is quite good. This is Young's second solo effort, and was recorded at his own Owl Mountain Studios. Even though there are fourteen musicians on the album. Young remains in full charge. He's got his own sound which comes through clearly. He's in full control, which may be the reason this is such a personal album. He's trying to offer a glimpse of the way that he lives, and this constitutes the main bulk of the lyrics. If you re interested in how Jesse Colin Young feels when he's on tour, or how Jesse Colin Young feels about the music industry, then you'll find this to be a very interesting recording. But I wasn't interested in this, and Young failed to make me feel interested. If he made me feel anything, it was disgust tinged with boredom. This failure is very evident in "Ridgetop." The message that the song is trying to get across is just how mellow Young is getting. It tells all about how much he likes his ridgetop retreat, in good country with a dean sky. Neat. The third verse is pretty indicative of the rest of the song, and also the rest of the album: "Now when built my house / cut six trees to dear the land But there's thirty or more left / And you know they're gonna stand It's a squirrel sanctuary And they think this woods is their home And as long as I'm here I'll make sure people leave us alone." The song preceding this on the album is the title track, "Song For Juli." This opens with an instrumental, which is quite good. But then when Young starts to sing, the effect is ruined. I haven't come across Well, my friends, I find myself in a similar predicament. I know it's probably true, but it is incredibly hard for me to believe that the majority of UB students who are into music have never heard of Doc Watson. Must I explain who he is? Well, in short: Doc Watson is possibly the best blue-grass geetar picker alive. What qualifies him for that: Oh, just that he has the fastest, the cleanest and the tastiest style in the field. I suppose I also ought to mention that he has accomplished . ' all this despite being blind. Here we have The Essential Doc Watson. It's part of a series of Vanguard "twofers" (twofer the price of one). The idea of a twofer album always makes me a bit leery. It implies that the album's not good enough to be sold for a double-record price. However, this is not the case with The Essential Doc Watson. Actually, the album is just what it claims to be the essence of Doc's music. It contains some of his best stuff: the fast-pickin' instrumentals ("Black Mountain Rag,'' "Beaumont Rag," "Blueridge Mountain Blues"), the old-time country traditional ("Little Omie Wise," "Froggie Went a-Courtin," "Groundhop"), and the slow country blues ("St. James Hospital," "Blue Railroad Train," "Country Blues"). It shows all his various talents story teller, expert banjo picker, harp player, and of course, master of the acoustic country guitar. My favorite on the album and in general is "Alberta," a beautiful mellow song, to which his tasty little side riffs add a touch of immeasurable class. However, for a "best hits" album, there is a slight flaw. All the cuts were recorded live at the Newport Folk Festival, 1963 and 1964. The Doc didn't really get a start until the folk revival of the early sixties, so this is all relatively "early stuff.'-' Some of his best songs are sorely missed; notably, "Tennessee Stud," "Sweet Georgia Brown" I could make a very long list if I kept it up. Also, the quality of the recording could be better. Of course, the best (and maybe the only right) way to enjoy Doc Watson is to see him live (which is possible this Sunday night and should not be passed up). I mean, just watching that guy's fingers move is a trip and a half! This makes the idea of buying his records rather futile, but after all, something is better than nothing. If you're a Doc Watson freak already, don't bother with this one. You probably have most of the songs on other albums he's put out. But if you don't have any of his records, or you've never heard him play — — — Clark Gym lyrics as trite as this since I stopped reading Rod McKuen. "Miss Hesitation" is a conglomerate of tiis own song and Hesitation Blues. It almost makes it, but doesn't quite come off. I think that the strings spoil it. He does another medley on the album. It's a combination of a Lafayette Waltz and Jambalaya. The Lafayette Waltz half of the song is boring at best. It sounds almost like easy listening music. Jambalaya is nice, but he's no Hank Williams. My favorite song on the album is a-T-Bone Walker song, called "T-Bone Shuffle." There's nothing really spectacular about it, but it's reminescent of the Youngbloods more than any other song on the album. Maybe it's Earthquake's harmonica work, which I'm partial to. All told, Young has potential, which can bee seen in his production and arrangement work. I know that he can come out with a better album than this. I just hope that he does.

Directed by Jasper Shealy of the of Department Industrial Engineering at Rochester Institute of Technology, and a former graduate student at the State University of Buffalo, the study is being sponsored by various ski equipment manufacturers and the Safety Product Consumer Commission. Executive directors of the Ski Salvatore Napoli, Ellen Maurer and Mike Caputi are participating in the study, and approximately 1S00 Ski Club members will be randomly picked to try AFD’s. To curb the risk of skiing broken in legs casualties, particular, ski experts have developed devices designed to prevent (and hopefully eliminate) these skiing accidents. A common problems caused by the friction between the boot and the ski which hampers binding release, He Mr. Napoli. explained emphasized the importance of an immediate release in case of fall to prevent a leg fracture. Club, Tibias saved This problem has motivated of the the development Anti-friction Device. The prupose of the AFD is to “limit the buildup of friction between the top of the ski and the boot sole,” said Mr. Napoli. With friction eliminated, or at best reduced, the anti-friction device “enables you to get a release instead of a broken tibia,” he explained. the AFD is located on the ski under the ball of the foot or ski boot. There are many kinds of AFD’s which work on various principles. For example, the Ski Safe pad is a Teflon pad set into a polyurethane casing, while the Cubco Skidder is an AFD which needs lubrication and has a stainless steel top. ‘To date, no study has been conducted to determine the value of AFD’s, long-term although they are presently available to the skier,” Mr. Napoli noted. He feels that the upcoming season should provide sufficient time in which to assess the AFD’s value. ‘They definitely reduce friction between the boot and ski,” he said, asserting his enthusiasm for the devices. Problems studied The study will concentrate on problems associated with the AFD’s, such as proper installation and maintenance. Dr. Shealy’s 'olvement in this study is to aid levelopment of better skiing ipment for the general public, masters’ thesis icmiology of Ski Injuries”) dissertation Ph.D. -taking in skilled task used performance”) the Schussmeisters Ski Club as a data source. The masters’ thesis won the 1973 U.S. Ski Association award for best ski injury-related research of the year. In Ski Club’s contribution to the experiment, the “Binding Workshop,” participating members will be asked to report on their experiences with regard to binding or anti-friction device problems at the season’s end. To encourage participation in the final reporting phase, a drawing will be held from those who .respond. First prize will be a pair of top-line skis or boots; second through fifth prizes will offer a choice of new bindings. There will also be about 30 other prizes of ski-related equipment. For those wishing additional information about skiing safety, Gordon Lippe, technical editor of Skiing Magazine will be speaking Nov. 7 at 7:30 p.m. in the Fillmore Room. Mr. Lippe is the author of the series “Know Your Bindings,” developer of the “Lippe Slider” and co-developer of “Burt Bindings.” Anyone with questions should call 831-2145 or come to the Ski Club office in 318 Norton Hall.

Wednesday Soccer Bulls shutout Cardinals on Monday Led by the shutout goaltending of Frank Daddario, the soccer a three-game Bulls snapped winless streak Monday with a 3-0 win over St. John Fisher College of Rochester. The win brought Buffalo’s record to 3-4-2 and dropped the Cardinals to 3-5-3. The Bulls were missing sophomore Jim Baker, injured in the Potsdam game Saturday. In addition, several other players, including high-scoring forward Jude Ndenge, were absent due to the team’s new “no-show” policy. The new edict states that if a player doesn’t come to practice, he doesn’t play. With fewer players and more spirit, Buffalo dominated first-half play, finally breaking the scoreless deadlock on a goal by freshman Mike Pietrasik midway through the half. Jim Young, incensed over losing an assist when Pietrasik’s shot went in off one of the Cardinal fullbacks, came back 90 seconds later to tally his fifth goal of the season. The goal was the third in three games for Young, a school record. Daddario gave the Bulls and head coach Sal Esposito a scare late in the first half as he let a weak shot trickle through his hands, only to have it hit the goalpost and bounce right back to him. In picking up his second shutout of the season (also a school record), Daddario was called upon to make only ten saves, as the Cardinals were outshot 38-24. Buffalo played a shaky second half, unable to score again until Tom Ardary fired in a penalty kick with three minutes remaining to give the Bulls their final 3-0 margin. Though Buffalo had trouble scoring in the second half, they had little trouble having players ejected game. from the Defenseman Paul Marcolini was thrown out for the second time this season midway through the second half, and halfback Chuck Santa-Maria followed five minutes later for “verbal abuse of the referee.” It was also the second ejection of the season for Santa-Maria. The Bulls play host to Geneseo an attempt to even their record at .500 (4-4-2) and capture the second seed in next tomorrow in week’s SUNY Center Tournament at Binghamton. WOW!

Fired The decision had the effect of staving off a flood of impeachment resolutions which hit the House floor as soon as Speaker Carl Albert’s gavel called the House into session at 2 p.m. yesterday. But in a dramatic reversal late yesterday, President Nixon agreed to surrender the Watergate tapes for judicial review by Judge John Sirica, as he had been ordered by the Court of Appeals. Mr. Nixon’s lawyer, Charles Wright, told Judge Sirica the President had hoped his compromise offer on the tapes would satisfy the court order and avert a constitutional crisis, ‘‘but events over the weekend made it very apparent that it would not.’’ Mr. Sirica said he was “very happy” that Mr. Nixon would dy with his original August 29 order to release tapes to him, which Mr. Wright said would be in “a matter of a few days.” was unknown what effect the President’s session would have on the progress toward Congress. in All proceedings ichment ichment resolutions offered so far will be ed to the House Judiciary Committee, which letermine whether ther are sufficient grounds to and that impeachment, presumably e iittee' will take Mr, Nixon’s concession into (deration. lericans must decide ’’ep. Jerome Waldie (D., ichment bill yesterday > with obstruction of Cal.) introduced an President charging justice, while an ichment resolution offered by Rep. Bella ig (D., N.Y.) accused Mr. Nixon of "violations Watergate matters to the secret bombing of •odia. lliot Richardson, who resigned as Attorney al Saturday night rather than obey the lent’s order to fire Special Prosecutor Archibald yesterday said the decision of whether Jent Nixon should be impeached must he made American people themselves. Meanwhile, the agreement by House Speaker Albert and Democratic leaders for a ionsible inquiry” to determine whether Mr. has committed any impeachable offenses, the impeachment resolutions introduced ie Resigned yesterday will be routinely referred to the House Judiciary Committee, which will be conducting the inquiry. That committee will also continue the aborted Cox investigation. The committee will also continue hearings on the nomination of Gerald Ford as Vice-President. Lawlessness is worse Although actual impeachment proceedings must await the committee’s inquiry as to whether such a step is warranted, a number of Congressmen, mostly Democrats, demanded that impeachment proceedings against Mr. Nixon begin immediately. Calling for impeachment, Senator Edmund Muskie (D., Me.) said yesterday that only one adequate forum remained, and that was the impeachment process. He added: “The prospect of impeachment is now But the prospect of government lawlessness is worse,” Mr. Richardson, in a press conference yesterday, said he felt compelled to night rather than obey the resign Saturday President’s directive to fire Mr. Cox, because “at stake was the very integrity of the governmental process 1 came to the department to restore.” Asked if he, like Mr. Cox, would have rejected the President’s tape compromise, Mr. Richardson said; “I would have done what he has done.” He said “the awesome. future well-being and security of our beloved country" depended on how the . American people judged Mr. Nixon’s actions in ousting Mr. Cox. Congressional leaders in both parties have been seriously discussing the possibility of impeachment since last weekend’s events. Congressional concern was spurred by adverse public reaction to the President’s original refusal to obey a Court of Appeals order to release the White House tapes, offering a substitute compromise instead, and the ut °r Archibald Cox resultant linug.'i. and assistant Attorney General William Ruckleshaus, and Attorney General Elliot Richardson’s resignation in protest. Isee other story, page 1.1 No other choice A consensus seemed to be developing that as a result of the President’s actions. Congress was virtually being challenged to impeach Mr. Nixon. “I don’t think the President has left us any other choice,” said Senator Robert C. Byrd (D., W. Va.). Dozens of House members, mostly Democrats but some Republicans, have indicated their support for —continued on page 12- Dramatic reversal Nixon surrenders the tapes A controversial compromise on the Watergate tapes, the firing of and Willian Archibald Cox Ruckleshaus, and the resignation of Elliot Richardson last weekend has spurred talk of impeaching President Nixon'in both parties of It was unknown Congress. whether Mr. Nixon’s belated decision to surrender the tapes yesterday would quell the drive toward impeachment. The present crisis began Friday when President Nixon offered to provide an “edited summary” of the Watergate tapes he has been ordered to release by the U.S. Appeals Court. Special Prosecutor this Archibald Cox rejected compromise attempt, calling it “noncompliance with the court’s order.” For his refusal, Mr, Cox was fired by the- President. Attorney Assistant General Ruckleshaus was also by Mr. Nixon, and Attorney Elliot General in Richardson then resigned William discharged protest! Under siege Unacceptable proposal Mr. Cqx said Saturday he thought the WhiW House had deliberately submitted a proposal on the tapes controversy that was known to be unacceptable to him. White House statements sought to picture Mr. Nixon as having yielded considerable ground in his compromise offer, which must be approved by Federal District Judge John Sirica. The White House is contending that a written summary of the tapes, to be verified by Senator John Stennis Miss.), “satisfies” the (D., week-old Appeals Court order that Mr. Nixon release the tapes themselves to Judge Sirica. Many legal experts had concluded that Mr. Nixon’s decision not to obey the Appeals Court order, and not to appeal to the Supreme Court, was in defiance of the court order. Cox reached the same conclusion; and for refusing to obey the President’s directive that he, as a member of the executive branch, cease court action and future legal moves to obtain White Mr. House documents, was ousted. In his resignation letter to Mr. Nixon, Mr. Richardson noted that been have he would not comflrmed as Attorney General by the Senate last spring unless he prosmised to prosecutor appoint a special with “all the independence, authority and staff support” needed to conduct an impartial investigation of the Watergate scandal. He had pledged such a prosecutor would have “full authority” for determining whether to contest claims of executive priviledge, and the weekend's events therefore compelled him to resign. There was specualtion that many more top Justice Department officials would resign in support of Messrs. Ruckleshaus and Richardson, Cox.

Mr. Friedman discussed four periods of American justice and morality had assumed lower priority at this time, it was not completely forgotten. Individual deviation was tolerated only, as long as it did not affect society’s norms. Such emphasis on “norms” explains the persecution of the Mormons, who believed in the legalization of polygamy, Mr. Friedman explained. judicial priorities existing during each era. Starting with the of American early period independence, Mr. Friedman the considered the general lack of awareness of victimless crimes. According to the modern definition, victimless crimes affect only those that commit them. In early America, however, it was believed that all crimes, even those with no effect on other individuals, at least affected society as a whole. For that reason, punishments for immoral or irreligious acts were ■W K)NGr Carnegie Commission Study urges college reform by Doug Radi Spectrum Staff Writer commonplace and accepted.

Its recently-completed report is now being reviewed ,. across the country. Initiated by the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Technology in July 1967, the Commission’s six-year study cost $6.3 million to complete. The commission, chaired by former University of California President Clark Kerr, was .. primarily composed of present and former college presidents, with a few prominent professoh, lawyers and businessmen. of the things recommended were: All Americans should have complete access to post-secondary education and enough financial aid to insure that no student from a low-income family will have to forego a college educat.on. There diould be flexibility in enrollment patterns to give more students the chance to earn degrees in fewer years, to delay entrance after high school, or to take a semester or more off from school. It advised eliminating either the last year of high school or the first year of college. Some - - - Tuition policies at tax-supported institutions should be reformed so that middle and upper-income families bear a greater portion of the cost of their children’s education. Diverse programs must be adopted that widen opportunities for higher education for adults, high school students and people who want to combine their studies with a variety of lifestyles. Financial subsidies ought to go directly to students instead of institutions, allowing the students to make the choice between public and private institutions. “Affirmative action” hiring practices, designed to increase the percentages of women and minorities on faculties, were recommended. Rewards for teaching should be made on the same scale as for research, except for research at very advanced level?. The Commission favored internal action by the schools as the basic method to implement their proposed changes. It argued for selection of “activist” college presidents, and also advocated increased input from students, trustees, and faculty. — - — — 2907 BAILEY AVE 'U W—t'i humiliation, Cop-out? Indicating that the penitentiary was not very important during this era, Mr. Friedman said jail was for people who were jobless, debtors, or waiting for trial. And unlike today, litigation was cheap, swift and expeditious. Colonial records showed that Change, a magazine dealing with higher learning, is about to publish two articles with essentially negative views of the Carnegie reports. They will criticize the Commission’s report as too narrowly pragmatic, and will say the panel did not advise colleges and universities on what role they could play in repairing the damage already inflicted on the country’s social and political structure. Senior editor of Change Sinlea Morris described One of the articles as an attack on the reports, and the other as “intermittently an attack.” of the Commission’s members, who wished to remain anonymous, said: “I am afraid we copped out on the really tough questions of what people should learn and how. Instead we asked who should learn and where. Also we were long on prescriptions but short on analyzing the financial, organizational and administrative consequences of our recommendations." President of the Carnegie Corporation Alan Pifer replied to such criticisms that they had not grappled with the issue of content. The Commission, he said, “simply decided it was not going to tackle that question.” He said the main purpose of the report was to provoke thought and discussion. Because of the extreme wide range of the reports, commented State University of Buffalo Executive vice president Albert Somit, it would be impossible to predict how any one of the recommendations will be used. He noted that some of the recommendations would naturally be more acceptable than others, but as a whole, the report will serve the purpose of instigating discussion and exchange of ideas about higher education. It remains to be seen whether that discussion will be translated into concrete change. -833-1608 Hear 0 Israe - For gems'from the Jewish, Bible Fri., Sat. 4 — PHONE (or 12 • I ■ subjection to public Mr. Friedman noted.

However, he said, for those who were .hopeless or incorrigible, banishment or death was often their fate. , , - such laws, punishments and customs were most severely applied to the lower classes laborers and (including apprentices) for the purpose of maintaining order among them, Mr. Friedman explained. However, through the 19th century, court records show that cases of morality were not of much concern to the courts or public. This was due not to a behavioral change in the public, but to a change in priorities of the courts, Mr. Friedman stressed. At this time the country was concerned with economic growth and the protection of property; hence, economic issues were prevalent in the courts. New invention public upon Dependence condemnation as the “hammer of retribution” then lost its importance. The new concept of the penitentiary came into being, it was thought to be a “marvelous invention.’’ The first penitentiaries at Auburn, Cherry Hill and Philadelphia were institutions in which prisoners were not allowed to look or talk to one another. The individual ate, slept and worked in his own cell and religious services were con-ducted through peepholes. The philosophy which permeated these penitentiaries, Mr. Friedman said, was that through hard work, regimentation and isolation, the individual would become rehabilitated, but if this did not occur, at least he would be kept out of “harm’s way.” Wednesday, —Solomon f Lawrence Friedman increasing difficulty in gaining access to the courts. The courts were becoming more and more crowded and less and less willing to hear all the cases brought before it. Cases which concerned negligible amounts of money were either dismissed or delayed. Delaying of litigation was important since it discouraged court cases. “Law in the 19th century had become “impersonal, remote, clinical and forbidding," said Mr. Friedman. This created what he termed a “zone of immunity,” meaning that the individual was immune from minor infractions of the law. Discouragement in seeking court action was believed to be in the best interests of society, because litigation was said to have bad side effects. However, it was soon apparent that this policy often denied justice to the poor and powerless. In discussing the 20th century, Mr. Friedman stressed the importance of immigration. Many people feared immigrants as a threat to their jobs and customs. This fear provided the impetus for many reactionary laws. The present century brought a retreat to the moral control of the 18th century, he explained. Laws were passed forbidding cigarette smoking, horse race betting, profanity and indecent gestures. As the century progressed, interest groups and lobbyists became important factors in law-making. For this reason, we see today an open conflict and straggle between the deviants and oppressed who are opposed by the dominant and rich, he explained. While not sure what will become of this conflict, Mr. Friedman stressed the importance of keeping tabs on the history of justice in America. 24 October 1973. The Spectrum Page three . �Senior citizen sanity B ehaviorpatterns of elderly examined at Washington U. Older people like to think they can “beat the odds"- by outliving and outperforming the expected average of behavioral decline, claims Jack Botwinick, professor of Psychology and director of the Aging and Development Program at Washington University in St. Louis. Speaking in Cheektowaga Monday at a symposium on adult learning psychology. Dr. Botwinick agreed that the elderly “arrange and should arrange their lives in accord with this (philosophy),” as long as they did not totally ignore the odds. with his friends might not think his failing vision is as terrible a loss as the person who likes to spend his time reading, he said. The elderly are constantly reminded of their losses and inadequacies because they are continually experiencing new ones, Dr. Botwinick asserted. Gradual loss of hearing, the other senses, and the ability to discriminate between colors constitute a heavy burden for old people to bear, he insisted. New evidence Although “slowness in the elderly” was once attributed only to muscle deterioration and breakdown of the peripheral nervous system, Dr. Botwinick said there is now substantial evidence that the central nervous system also plays a major role. “Because most reflex time is taken up by the central nervous system it may be possible to manipulate conditions experimentally to speed up responses of older people,” he indicated. Those with a high degree of “function” in some areas maintain and often surpass that function in later life, said Dr. Botwinick. On the other hand, there is often a decline in manipulative skills, perceptual functions, the ability to integrate new information, and those activities that never reached too high a proficiency. When stimuli are weak and ambiguous, Dr. Botwinick maintained, older people fail to respond because they do not want to appear uncertain. “The cautiousness they exhibit might be more in the nature of avoiding problems than in dealing with them timidly,” he suggested. ... Sex for octagenerians “Sexual activity in the elderly is often thought as being non-existent, but this is untrue,” continued Dr. Botwinick. It is biologically possible to maintain' sexual potency until very late in life, but the frequency of widowhood has placed severe -limitations on such sexual activity.” Widowed women stop having sex nearly a decade earlier than men, Dr. Botwinick emphasized, because older men find it easier to remarry if their spouses die. Depression rates among older persons are higher * overall Although a person’s behavioral competence sharply declines with age, “we are not totally without some ability to help,” Dr. Botwinick said. “Great hope for the future lies in research,” he told doctors and the audience of prominent academicians. Losses losses Dr. Botwinick cited two difficulties that often arise in later 'life: decreased physical ability and a changing environment. In addition to a loss of sensory function, psychomotor speed (reflexes), memory and other abilities, old persons are confronted with the “loss of income and jobs” and the loss of a husband or wife or friends through death. "How each loss affects an individual depends upon how important and relevant the loss is,” Dr. Botwinick surmised. A man who often sits and chats .. than . age groups, Dr. them.” Dr. Botwinick's presentation was part of an afternoon panel discussion which also featured Josephine Flaherty, dean of the Faculty of Nursing at the University of Western Ontario; Ralph Monge, associate professor of Psychology, Syracuse University; and Paul Baltes, associate professor and director of the Division of Individual and Family Studies, Penn State.

They know they have nothing left for them, Dr. Botwinick stressed. Although a combination of poor health and depression seems to underlie the correlation between increased age and suicide rates in white males, the same could not be said for females and non-white males, he.explained. Dr. Botwinick concluded with his hope that more research would be conducted on the elderly and their behavior patterns. These studies, he said, would hopefully allow the aged to play “an increased role in society as we discover more about One from column B Food Service nutrition Nutrition, within the last few years, has become the subject of national concern and controversy.

The two nations had agreed to a U.N. “in-place” cease-fire resolution, a joint United States-Soviet Union proposal, and the fighting was scheduled to cease as of 12:30 p.m. EDT Monday. But if there ever was a cease-fire at all, it lasted barely 12 hours. Syria, which never agreed to the cease-fire, accused Israel of launching air and artillery attacks on the northern front. Both Israel and Egypt reported full-scale combat along the 102-mile Suez Canal less than 16 hours after the shaky cease-fire was to have taken effect. Meanwhile, U.N. diplomats were reported working on plans to police the now-deteriorated Middle East cease-fire. Because available United Nations forces are too small for the job, it has been suggested that the United States and Soviet Union send units to the Middle East as truce ? policemen. China veto foreseen China, however, is likely to veto any such use of those troops, since she has taken the attitude that the two superpowers are seeking to perpetuate a “no peace-no war” situation in the Middle East. Israel predicted that the now-violated cease-fire will actually take effect in a few days after all. According to the UiN. agreement, both sides were to occupy the land they now hold pending a peace conference to be arranged under the “appropriate auspices.” The Israeli command said its tanks and warplanes went on the attack yesterday “following the consistent violation of the cease-fire by Egyptian forces during the [Monday] night and this [yesterday] morning.” “Our planes are attacking Egyptian troop concentrations on both sides of the canal and Israeli armor forces are attacking the Egyptian dispositions west of the canal,” a spokesman said. The Egyptian military command said the all-out fighting began when “enemy tanks and forces opened fire in several sectors of the front in violation of the cease-fire resolution.” The Cairo command said “our forces returned the fire” and battles were raging at midmorning along the waterway. Another violation “Enemy planes bombed our positions west of the canal and this is regarded as another violation of the cease-fire,” Egypt said. Israel reported “numerous clashes” with Egyptian forces along the cartal since the truce went into effect Monday evening on the 17th day of the fourth Middle East war in 25 years. A military spokesman in Damascus said an estimated 60 Israeli warplanes bombarded civilian targets north of the Syrian capital yesterday and clashed with Arab jets in numerous dogfights. He reported 11 Israeli aircraft shot down in the clashes. The proposal came about through the efforts of Secretary of State Henry Kissinger and Soviet Leader Leonid Brezhnev. The two men met in Moscow over the weekend and hammered out the details of the agreement presented to the United Nations Security Council on Sunday. The Council which was called into an emergency session passed the resolution by a vote of 14-0. Peace conference talks, scheduled to begin almost immediately, will be extremely important to the preservation of the truce. U.N. General Secretary Kurt Waldheim is reportedly willing to serve as a mediator in the talks, which will include all of the middle east warring parties. The People’s Republic of China abstained from the voting claiming that the U.S. and U.S.S.R. were trying to push through a proposal that would result in a state of “no war no peace.*’ - Immediate acceptance acceptance of the UN. resolution came almost immediately. Their acceptance was conditional upon a reciprocal Arab agreement, an exchange of prisoners, and a solution that would leave them with defensible boundaries. Egyptian President Anwar el-Sadat announced his acceptance of the resolution in a Monday morning radio broadcast over Cairo radio. In a brief statement, he ordered his troops to abide by the cease-fire deadline, and instructed his commanders to end the hostilities provided the Israelis took similar action. •■j,r c Mr. Sadat accepted the cease-fire plan after he had consulted with fellow Arab leaders and received assurances from Moscow through the Russian ambassador in Cairo. The cease-fire resolution relied heavily on the U.N. Security Council resolution of November 22, 1967. This 1967 measure called for the withdrawal of Israeli forces from “territories” occupied in the Six-Day War. The question has been moot for six years whether the Israeli ; resolution meant complete withdrawal from all occupied Arab territories or a partial withdrawal. This ambiguity is also present in the newly agreed upon resolution. Strengthen holds Israeli footholds on the west bank of the Suez Canal were enlarged over the weekend. Heavy reinforcements were sent across the Canal to bolster the troops that had been fighting deep within Egyptian territory since the middle of last week. The Israelis were able to put most of the anti-aircraft missile bases along the Suez out of operation and drive to within 20 miles of Cairo. Despite heavy casualties, the Israelis had succeeded in reasserting their control of the skies over the Sinai and all but eliminated the threat of a last minute Arab thrust. The Egyptian defense of their capital had stiffened and it appeared that the Israeli drive would have been halted short of Cairo. The Egyptian army absorbed high losses both in men and materiel, but their determination remained strong. Fighting in the Golan Heights continued in full force as the Monday deadline approached. The Syrian government withheld comment on the cease-fire, but it expected that they would comply with the agreement. Israel recaptured Mt. Hermon from the Syrians and solidified its position on the Heights over the weekend. —bv The Carlos C.

They took the leaders crowd of non-violent means.

The idea that both sides chose violence to achieve their end implies that as long as there are those who “live by the sword,” some are likely to die by it.

Just dial 831-5000 or visit the Action Line booth in the Center Lounge in Norton Hall for individual attention. The Office of Student Affairs and Services will investigate all questions and complaints, and will answer them individually. The name of the individual originating the inquiry is kept confidential under all circumstances. The more common questions will be answered in this column each week. , Q: Where can I cash a personal check 7 A: Students may cash checks on the Mezzanine of the Bookstore between 8:45 a.m. and 4:30 p.m.. Monday through Friday, Saturday from 11:00 a.m. to 2:30 p.m., and Monday and Thursday evenings from 5:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. Personal checks may be cashed only if the student has a current 1973-1974 ID card and his name is imprinted on the check. The amount is limited to $25 per student, per day, and a S.l 5 fee is charged on each check. Money orders up to $50 may also be cashed. Q: What is the difference between a double major and a joint major? A: A joint major involves combining the subjects of two departments as an area of concentration, i.e., psychology and sociology. A double major is when the student completes all the requirements within two departments. Joint and double majors must be between departments leading to the same degree, i.e., a student may not have a joint major between engineering (BS) and sociology (BA). Appropriate faculty within each department concerned will assist in planning a joint or double major. If you are interested in a double or joint major, see your academic advisor in Diefendorf. on campus who uses hypnosis get in touch with to find out about it?

The ‘‘Jackson Amendment” presently pending in Congress, which states that favored tariff status for any country is contingent on that country permitting free emigration (aimed at the Soviet Union), is supported by Mr. Docksai and YAF. Mr. Docksai has been National Chairman of YAF since 1970. He is 24 years old and currently working toward a PhD. at Georgetown University. * Cohesive Special Concluding the piece was an airy, gracious rondo which spiritually connected this work to the Haydn Quartet. The abundant use of fugal and imitative passages also joined the Hindemith Quartet with the final work on the program, Mendelssohn’s Quartet No. 2, op. 13. The program was an organic unit. Characterizing the Mendelssohn quartet, aside from the pervasive fugal writing, was its intense Romanticism. Passionate weeping, suspenseful nervousness and desperate galloping are all elements of this work. Mendelssohn composed this piece entirely in the minor mode except for one section in each of the third and fourth movements. This, coupled with the quartet's Romantic tone was reminiscent of the amplified lamentations delivered by various lovestruck characters in Shakespeare’s early comedies. Several curtain calls were asked of the Vermeer Quartet and their eloquent performance certainly warranted it. This young quartet is well on its way to a position of high regard in the musical world. The next concert in the Buffalo Chamber Music Society series is on Tuesday, November 27th. Featured are Alexander Schneider, Ruth Laredo, Walter Tram pier, and Leslie Parnas performing the Brahms Piano Quartets. Student tickets cost SI.SO and are available at the Norton Ticket Office.

Above all. shall that man be above it who can commit the most extensive injustice?" -George Mason of Virginia, during the Founding Fathers' 1787 debate over the impeachement clause rjO»' 5'ki MR yyhich included the Eltsberg to plug "national burglary and the Watergate break-in. The grand jury testimony of John Ehrlichman, who has said the President has the power to authorize burglaries, indicates Mr. Nixon approved the Ellsberg break-in. When asked to disclose its methods of obtaining evidence in the trial against indicating that the Weathermen, the Government dropped its case - - ■ - White House tapes. Mr. Nixon's belated agreement to surrender the tapes was exactly like every other concession he has made he was forced to do if. His "compromise,", by which he himself would have provided an edited summary of the tapes, perhaps editing out infromation on the Eilsberg burglary and political wiretaps as injurious to "national security" a proposal he knew would be unacceptable to Mr. Cox was laughable. Senator Stennis, the man who publically urged Mr. Nixon to "tough it out" during Watergate this spring, could hardly have been accepted as an impartial arbiter. And perhaps most importantly, there are several important criminal procesutions pending many against Mr. Nixon's former associates and any "edited summary" of the tapes would obviously have been inadmissable evidence. And many defendants requesting other White House tapes as evidence may go scot free as Mr. Nixon abuses his Presidential prerogatives to shield this vital evidence from the courts. This is clearly obstruction of justice. Not only did Mr. Nixon repeatedly withhold the nine controversial tapes until yesterday, but frustrated Mr. Cox's every attempt to obtain other papers and documents of his aides by placing them in "Presidential files," thus concealing the evidence under a blanket of executive privilege r precisely what he promised the public he would not do. His use of the FBI as a totalitarian secret police, which descended on Mr. Cox's office and prevented him and his staff access to their files and personal papers, is not at all uncharacteristic. Indeed, Mr. Nixon's entire concept of the Presidency is one of a monarchial ruler exercising his own prerogatives, unrestrained by the law which governs ordinary citizens. The deal he engineered in which Spiro Agnew traded his office for his freedom was the most recent example of the Nixonian concept of privileged justice. Even a superficial examination of the illegalities this man has committed in office should shock the most stalwart conservative or disbelieving skeptic. —Attempting to defy two court orders was not Mr. Nixon's first attempt at obstruction of justice. When he learned of the break-in at Daniel Ellsberg's psychiatrist's office, he sat on that evidence for 39 days. And while the Pentagon Papers trial was going on a trial in which the government had an obvious political interest he asked the sitting trial judge, W. Matthew Byrne, if he would like the FBI directorship after the trial was over. This was a sickeningly obvious attempt to influence the trial Judge Byrne threw the case out due to government misconduct, and he didn't get the job. In a slew of other purely political trials the Berrigans, the Panthers, Angela Davis, Gainesville 8 the government has either lost its transparent case or had the case thrown out of court. —Not only did Mr. Nixon involve the CIA, FBI andSecret Service in illegal activities, he set up his own secret spy force the "plumbers" — — — — — — < — — - - - - Page eight The Spectrum Wednesday, 24 October 1973 . . the 1970 "domestic security" plan, which approved buglaries, bugging and surveillance of domestic radicals, was actually put into effect in 1970. No memo rescinding that illegal plan has ever been produced. -Illegal wiretaps, too, have been the hallmark of the Nixon Administration, and recent evidence indicates that wiretaps remained on two members of the National Security Council months after they had left the government and joined Edmund Muskie's campaign. Other taps on newsmen and persons with no responsibility in foreign affairs clearly demonstrates the political ends to which wiretapping was applied. -The systematic subversion of the 1972 election, during which the President's re-election committee bugged the Watergate, bugged Larry O'Brian, attempted to but McGovern offices, had the Secret Service spy on McGovern, had paid informants spy on Muskie, forged embarassing letters on Muskie stationary, forged telegrams of support after the Haiphong bombing, and perpetrated a host of other unethical and illegal activities, leads to the conclusion that Mr. Nixon's campaign illegally influenced a Presidential election. To argue that Mr. Nixon did not know what his subordinates were doing in his name is a politically naive view —The illegal bombing of Cambodia, during which Mr. Nixon loosed almost 4,000 B-52 bombing raids on a neutral country, makes the Watergate accusations pale by comparison. In the process of secretly annihilating hundreds of Cambodians, Mr. Nixon repeatedly lied to the American public on national TV, lied to Congress, and approved the falsification of reports that the bombing had actually taken place in Vietnam. -Mr. Nixon's re-election campaign was illegally financed', many contributions were simply not reported; many were illegally extracted from large corporations in a manner not unlike the Agnew method. Mr. Nixon paid an extraordinarily low income tax in 1970-71, never denied; and each new look home, both its into his San Clemente ■ ■ "t >-VtT t r dubious acquistion and improvements charged as "security" at government expense, brings new evidence of impropiety. —Charges of influence peddling, stemming from an anti-trust $ettlen>ient favorable to.ITT in exchange for a $409,000 and the raising of milk support prices after a large dairy industry contribution these are proven facts raise disturbing legal and ethical questions. When one considers that former Attorney General and Commerce Secretary are under indictment for influence peddling! and the extortion of illegal 1972 campaign donations, the charges gain . * •: • Perhaps the magnitude of what Richard Nixon has done can be measured by-those moderates and conservatives who have supported the President through these many months of scandal and disclosures, but who have now felt compelled to call for his impeachment. Time and again, Mr. Nixon has sought to place himself above the law, beyond the reach of Congress, the courts, the press, and the public. Throughout the many months of Watergate, Democrats in Congress have only whispered about impeachment, for fear of being accused of manipulating Watergate as a partisan issue; but Mr. Nixon's actions have virtually forced them to confront the issue. And during the peak of Watergate testimony this summer, while three-quarters of the public believed Mr. Nixon guilty of criminal offenses, only one-quarter advocated impeachment. Perhaps they were justified, as impeachment is a long, divisive, bitter process. But the public, too, is being forced to the painful conclusion that there is a moral defective in the Oval Office. To quell the raging charges of "cover-up" last spring, Mr. Nixon nominated an impeccable Attorney General in Elliot Richardson, and assured the Senate and the American people, through Mr. Richardson's promises, that an independent special prosecutor would be appointed, with complete freedom to investigate Administration misconduct in Watergate and to oppose claims of executive privilege. The Senate would not have confirmed Mr. Richardson without these promises of independence, for no prosecutor could fairly investigate the Administration of a President to whom he is subservient. And yet, Mr. Nixon did not hestitate to directly order Archibald Cox to cease his efforts to obtain the tapes and other documents; and when Cox refused, he fired him. The subsequent resignation of Mr. Richardson in protest, and the ouster of assistant Attorney General William Ruckleshaus, provided one painful conclusion: independent-minded men cannot survive in the Administration of a President who uses his office to purge independence from the executive branch and supercede court orders. Mr. Nixon's shocking breach of faith in canning Mr. Cox should not obscure an even more central illegality: he had refused to comply with orders, from the District Court and the Court >of Appeals jo release the • — credibility. —The illegal impoundment of funds appropriated by Congress, although the Administration has lost every single court test on this issue, has continued. —The men Mr. Nixon has entrusted with power — Mitchell, Stans, Agnew, Haldeman, Ehrlichman, Dean, Magruder, Colson, his re-election committee all have faced criminal prosecution or indictment, while independent minds Richardson, Ruckleshaus, Cox have been ousted. It used to be said that either Mr. Nixon knew about what his people were doing, and was guilty, or he didn't know, and was incompetent. The Agnew fiasco in particular should underscore the fact that the moral tone in the Nixon White House was set by Richard — - — Nixon. We fail to see how even this partial list represents anything other than a systematic subversion and perversion of the balance of our government and of the sanctity of our laws. Enemy lists, tax audits, and screwing political enemies need not even be mentioned. Seen in this perspective, Mr. Nixon's attempted defiance of two court orders, and the firing of the man he assured the public would independently investigate his Administration, is appallingly consistent. If Mr. Nixon.is allowed to remain in office, future Presidents, future officials will know that they can capriciously flaunt the law and escape punishment. We therefore advocate the impeachment of President Richard Nixon for high crimes and misdemeanors in office. Impeachment is a distasteful alternative; it is a long, hostile and polarizing process. Yet by insisting on one-man rule, by consistently ignoring the law in favor of his own prerogatives, Mr. Nixon has loft the Congress,- and the nation, with no choice. Even his staunchest supporters a few months ago have recognized that no law or justice can be obtained while he remains President. Simply because there is no other way, short of resignation, we urge Congress to impeach Mr. Nixon. ,1 But Congress, being a skeptical, cautious body of lawmakers continually seeking re-election, is hesitant to opt for impeachment unless it is convinced that public opinion demands it.,We therefore urge every American who cares about this country to take a minute to fill out and mail the coupon opposite this page to their Congressman or House Speaker Carl Albert. Let us show Congress where we stand. Let us blitz the House and Senate with these telegrams of support for die impeachment of President Nixon.

His concession to release the tapes came only after he saw he would be unsuccessful in attempting ■ to defy two court orders and place himself above the law.

Photogenic I’m not, but anybody is free to take my picture; the only thing is, I.d like to know where that shot winds up. I’m not a Communist, and I don’t particularly like their style. However, I do reserve the right to talk to anybody I want to, and I don’t want to get turned down from a government job ten years from now because of some forgotten conversation in Rathskeller.

Scene: A television studio in Washington, D.C. with dozens of outlandishly dressed, screaming, hysterical viewers waving madly at the camera. A voice from off-camera speaks; ‘Tonight, one of these lucky people will get a chance to win immunity, suspended jail sentences, light fines and a publisher’s contract for his or her memoirs worth one million dollars. It’s time for the American government’s favorite game show, Let’s Make a Deal. And now, here’s the star of Let's Make a Deal, Elliot Richardson.” A cultivated-looking man bounces down the aisle in an impeccable $300 pinstriped blue suit, old school tie and large, hom-rimmed glasses. “Hello and welcome to Let’s Make a Deal the show that let’s you plea-bargain, seek immunity, beg, borrow, steal or cheat your way to fame, fortune or survival.

Two of them contain prizes and the third contains a zonk. You can pick as drawers as many you want. Do you understand how it works?” JM: “Yes, sir.” ER: “All right, then, open the drawers." The tension mounts. Mr. Magruder opens the first drawer ER; “Congratulations, Jeb. you’ve just won partial immunity and a lecture lour contract worth $100,000. Do you want to pick another drawer?" Crowd. “No! Yes! Go on! Stop! Don’t take a chance! Do it!” JM’ “I’ll go on.” Crowd: “Yeah! Whistle! Cheer! Applaud!" ER: “He's going to pick another drawers, folks. What a man." He opens a second drawer. Out pops a stern-looking judge. A collective “Aw" rises from the crowd. ER: “Too bad, Jcb. you’ve been zonked.

By that time, groups of irritated students returned to the Main Floor Cafeteria to listen and were prevented from doing so by Campus Security. Verbal confrontations erupted between students and security as a result of poor planning on the part of SA. It appeared that in view of the widespread publicity of Mr. Serling’s appearance and under the specific circumstances, SA should have taken immediate action. The Main Floor Cafeteria equipped with microphones would have been sufficient. Finally, this brings up the whole notion of an open university. In theory, an open university is good. However, when the campus does not have the facilities to accommodate even the students whose fees ($67.00 per year) subsidize activities, then SA should act to have activities open only to students Lisa Van Horn Rosanne Dattilo J’accuse To the Editor “Deck the pigs out on the pavement.

We were instructed to go to Haas Lounge to view the speech In Statue to Nixon To the Editor: *thf Spesrteers Bureau presentation of Rod Serling, the cause of these inconveniences must be examined. Of primary importance was the inability of Speakers Bureau to obtain a room large enough to handle it. The only facility on campus capable of maintaining more people than the Fillmore Room is Clark Hall (Gym). However, by a 1972-73 edict of the Facilities Planning Committee, The Gym cannot be used for non-athletic events from October 15th through March 1st of any given school year. Thus, the current mechanism provides no way for the Speakers Bureau to use the Gym. The only relief that can be provided is the video presentation of a speech in a such as Haas Lounge. (This was done on Wednesday night). The Bureau cannot however insure that no technical problems will be encountered. However, a solution may be in signt. Speakers Bureau Chairman Bob Burrick is currently in negotiations with facilities planning to enable the Bureau to have use of the Gym. My apologies to anyone inconvenienced by the facility problem-rest assured that all that can be done, is being done. To the Editor. We have the distinguished honor of being on a committee for raising five million ($5,000,000) dollars fc placing a statue of Richard M. Nixon in the Hall of Fame in Washington, D.C. The committee was in a quandary as to where to place the statue. It was thought not wise to place it beside the statue of George Washington, who never told a lie, nor beside Franklin D. Roosevelt, who never told the truth, since Nixon could never tell the difference. We finally decided to place it beside Christopher Columbus, the greatest new dealer of them all. He left, not knowing where he was going, and upon arriving, did not know where he was. He returned, not knowing where he had been, and did it all on borrowed money. Over 5000 years ago, Moses said to the Children of Israel. “Pick up your shovels, mount your asses and camels and 1 will lead you to the Promised Land.” Nearly 5000 years later, Roosevelt said, “Lay down your shovels, sit on your asses, light up a Camel this is the Promised Land.” Now Nixon is stealing your shovels, kicking your asses, raising the price of Camels, and mortgaging the Promised Land. If you are one of the fortunate people who has any money left after paying taxes, we will expect a generous donation as a contribution to this worthwhile project. - Director, Public Jeff Samek Information Student Association Coni in unisl viewpoint To the Editor.

It is the avowed policy of The Spectrum not to accept advertising from concerns which publish or make available term papers or other research projects for direct student use.

The RCY is irreconcilably opposed to all forms of racism, including anti-semitism which is used by reactionaries to justify oppression, anti-communism and genocide. In the current national war in the Near Fast we are opposed to the nationalism of the Arab rulers and and of the Zionists. The Arabic Hebrew-speaking workers and peasants have no slake in the victory of either side; a real peace Ls only possible by uniting them in common struggle against the Arab and Israeli bourgeoisies, turning the national war into a class war. The RCY has always defended the right of the Hebrew-speaking population to self-determination in the Palestine area, while likewise defending the right of Palestine Arabs, driven from their lands by the Zionist stale, to self-determination in their homeland.

Although the reporter did interview knowledgeable persons able to give him the actual facts, the article only included the uneducated opinions of uninformed parties. Here are a few points of clarification: 1) The IRC has been operating effectively and efficiently. Saleh’s absurd remark about IRC being disorganized and SA “stepping in to lend a hand” is totally unsubstantiated and, in fact, impossible for the IRC is an independent organization with SA having 0.00 input. For this we are thankful. 2) Since the beginning of September, the IRC has made every effort to have our activities occur jointly on both campuses. Our weekly movies are shown on both campuses, and for every bus provided to a concert from the Main Campus, there has been a bus provided from Amherst. IRC has already sponsored busses to various shopping malls, and the Beer Blast which took place in Lehman cafeteria last Friday was sponsored by the Amherst House Nixon gives a false sense of security while one is being cry: Taccuse.” President changing the Republican Parly Emblem from an elephant to a condom because it stands for inflation, halts production, protects a bunch of pricks and or their “products." Keep O'Brian Open To the Editor Let’s keep O’Brian Hall open ’til midnite. There are 800 students on North Campus which need a late nite place to study. The Governor’s Residence Complex is totally void of study facilities, in winter, driving to and from Lockwood from North Campus takes a lot of valuable time out of a student’s night-time studying. This is especially true for the large number of students who ride the bus. The loss of time for them is much greater for they have to wait for the bus before they go anywhere. And God help the student who should have to make two trips in one nite to the library; for that poor soul will spend more time in transit than at the library. Keeping O’Brian open ’til midnite by no means meets the total demands of the study facility problem for North Campus; however, it’s a good start! Bob SternfieId (R.A.)

A majority vote of the House (one-half plus one) is then required to initiate impeachment, roughly the political equivalent of a grand jury indictment, against the President. The Sentate would then turn into a court, presided over by Supreme Court Chief Justice Warren Burger, to weigh the charges and decide whether they warranted conviction. “Impeachment resolutions are going to be raining down like hailstones,” said Representative John B.

About a dozen members in the House indicated they would introduce impeachment resolutions, including Paul McCloskey (R., Cal.), Parren Mitchell (D., Md.), and Ogden Reid (D., N.Y.). Rep.

We should look very seriously at beginning impeachment proceedings.” Opening the doors Mr. Nixon did find some support among conservative Republicans. Senator John Tower (R., Tex.) said he thought the President had acted properly “to forestall a constitutional crisis” and did not believe there were grounds for impeachment. Vice Presidential-designate Gerald Ford (R., Mich.) said Mr. Nixon had “no other choice” than to dismiss Mr. Cox, who “was after all, a subordinate” who defied an order. Despite widespread speculation in Congress that JAi. Ford’s confirmation hearings would definitely be delayed pending the outcome of the present controversy, Democratic leaders decided against delay. THe White House issued a statement which said it believed Congress would not initiate impeachment proceedings. Rep.

The report by George Wanamaker, a specialist who recently toured major Soviet farming areas, said the Russians are harvesting a “good” sunflower crop this year. But production is likely to fall about one million tons short of meeting Soviet needs for vegetable oil and protein meal for livestock feeding, he added. Wanamaker said a decision to import U.S. soybeans is expected after Soviet officials get a final reading on the size of their 1973 sunflower seed crop, sometime before the end of this year. Russian officials have estimated the crop at 6 million tons, but U.S. experts think the net yield could be about 5.3 million tons, still the best since 1970.

Banzer gave the Uruguayan guerrillas until 6 a.m. EDT to release the hostages and accept safe conduct out of the country. He said guerrilla demands for a getaway plane would be refused.

Rubin Spectrum Soccer Bulls tie in week’s games Despite strong first half efforts against Buffalo State and Potsdam and fine goaltending by freshman and forward Tom Ardary put the rebound in for his first goal of the year. Frank Daddario, the soccer Bulls gained only a tie in their last two starts. Buffalo lost a 2-1 thriller to Bean apply pressure The Bears came out roaring in the second half, though, and the Bengals last Wednesday, and tied Potsdam 2-2 last Saturday. The Bulls took a 1-0 halftime lead against the Bengals as Jim applied constant pressure. Daddario made eleven saves, and finally was beaten when Steve Young tallied on a head ball, after Pascual fired home a shot for the a pass from defenseman Paul Bears with less than two minutes Marcolini. Then the rain and the remaining in the game. Conspicuously absent from the Bengals, as Buffalo State tallied two goals in the downpour to Bulls line-up in Saturday's game close the scoring. Buffalo outshot was forward Jude Ndenge. the Bengals 22-8, but exhibited a Repeated absences from practices lack of aggressiveness after taking were speculated as the reason for the lead. Ndenge's failure to participate in Potsdam rallied from a 2-1 the contest. The Bulls hosted St. John halftime deficit Saturday to earn a 2-2 tie. The Bears tallied first, but Fisher Monday.

With Bulls squeaked out a 1-0 overtime less than a minute remaining in win at Geneseo last year, and the the half. Young broke in all alone Knights will be out to avenge that defeat. on Potsdam goalkeeper Tom Bray _ Staff Writer The surging cross-country Bulls picked up their fourth win last Wednesday as they finished second in a three way meet against Gannon and Edinboro. The Bulls were defeated by Edinboro, 15-50. However, the Bulls demolished Gannon, 20-40. The split gives Buffalo a 4-8 record for the season^. Senior Bruce Tuttle led the Bulls, finishing tenth in the field of 25. However, it was balance that paid off in the end. Six of the seven Buffalo runners finished between 10th and 18th place, and ran together throughout the race. Coach Jim McDonough was satisfied with the Bulls’ performance. He had not expected the Bulls to beat Edinboro. He noted before the Vace: “Edinboro is gonna win no matter what they do.” (Edinboro had nine of the top ten finishers, even after their top five runners had been scratched from the race.) However, he was surprised at the ease with which the Bulls beat Gannon. He commented: “I thought they’d be much tougher.” Unique course The outcome of the race was not nearly as interesting as the course itself. It was run on Presque Isle in Lake Erie, just outside Erie, Pa., not on a golf OCT. 30.1973. .. Vf) Golf Bulls’ season not up to par by Steve Lustig Spectrum Staff Writer The golf Bulls finished a season highlighted by both excellent and disappointing play last Thursday. The Bulls ended the year with an 11-2 record and a tie for 4th place at the ECAC Qualifying Tournament. Jim Gallery and Rick Buczynski were welcome additions to this year's squad. Gallery, who did not play last year because of medical problems, and Buczynski, who transferred from Miami of Ohio, were consistently the Bulls’ best shooters. Gallery shot his best round of the season at Fredonia where he carded a three-under-par 69. Buczynski was the Buffalo's most consistent golfer, shooting three straight 77’s at the Bulls’ home course. Buffalo had trouble in tournament play where APPLICATIONS FOR ABSENTEE BALLOTS FOR THE N.Y.C. AND NASSAU CTY. ELECTIONS ARE AVAILABLE IN THE STUDENT ASSOCIATION OFFICE, NORTON Rm. 205. THEY MUST BE FILED BY 1 course or an open field. The race was run on pavement, swamp, grass and beach. Along with the high winds and occasional rain that prevailed during the meet, the race was a trackman’s obstacle course. As McDonough investigated the terrain, he surmised, “Well, it’s not what we’re used to running on and therefore it’s unusual.” Edinboro coach Doug Watts was not as encouraging. He termed the course “worthless.” In spite of the coaches’ criticisms, most of the Buffalo runners enjoyed the race, though they indicated that they wouldn’t like to run it too often. They were dissatisfied with the sandy beach. Many runners took off their shoes and ran through the sand barefoot, but they then had to run an additional three miles of varied surfaces shoeless as well. This afternoon the Bulls will be in Niagara to face Canisius, Gannon, Buffalo State and Niagara in what is probably the key meet of the season. Buffalo figures to beat Canisius and Gannon, but needs to upset both Niagara and Buffalo State to have a chance at a .500 season. Both the Eagles and the Bengals have already beaten Buffalo once this year, but McDonough is hoping for an upset. “I don’t know how we can get Buffalo State or Niagara,” he remarked. “But Buffalo State is very thin. If they don’t have one of their men, maybe we can get them that way.” some of their normally consistent players did not play up to par. Gallery, who averaged 74.7 shots per round, shot two 77’s including one at the qualifying tournament. Buc/.ynski had an 80 at Brook Lea Invitational while Marty Fink had inconsistent rounds of 75, 82, and 84 in tournament play. These poor showings and rounds of 86 and 88 by Jim Batt and Steve Miller led to a ninth place finish at the Tri-Slate Tournament and a seventh place showing at Brook Lea where the Bulls had been defending champions. While the Bulls played only mediocre golf in other tournaments, they played well at the ECAC tournament in Syracuse, missing a trip to the nationals by just two strokes. Buffalo was the only team with all five players scoring in the seventies. However, the Bulls’ failure to shoot rounds in the low seventies (73 or better) hurt their chances. Buffalo had already defeated the qualifiers from the ECAC Tournament, Syracuse and Canisius during the season by 20 strokes and a single diot respectively. Coach Bill Dando said: “I thought wc had a very good season. 1 was disappointed we didn’t do well in the tournaments, however. Wc had better golfers than we showed.” Dando also noted that this year’s squad was superior to last season’s team which did far better in tournament play. “As far as the qualifiers go, we beat Syracuse by 20 strokes here but lost to them at their home course,” Dando continued. “The chances of Buffalo hosting the regionals are slim because they usually select a site that is centrally located. However we might be able to get some tournaments during the (spring) season at River Oaks,” Dando added. The spring season is a short one for the Bulls due to the end of the school year falling so early in the golf season. The Bulls have scheduled four matches and are planning to play in the Miami Invitational Tournament at the University of Florida during the Easter vacation. ikingsholm Restaurant Lounge 3300 Sheridan Drive (14 mile west ofMillersport) -836-7736S TACO HOUSE per Special kUi Dogs 35 e With Coupon I I 83S-3900 DRIVE ■■■■■■ Fbge fourteen The Spectrum Wednesday, .

No. 25 State University of New York et Buffalo Small Growth Scholastic housing is discovering set-backs Friday, 19 October 1973 by Richard Korman Spectrum Staff Writer For at least the next few years, Scholastic Housing, Inc. will have to content itself with a program of small, year-by-year growth. This is a result of Student Association (SA) and Sub-Board’s recent decision to fund Scholastic Housing solely from the remaining $3S,000 of its original allocation. According to SA Executive vice-president David Saleh, the Student Assembly was faced with the philosophical question of whether to allocate a large amount of money to a project that might not utilize the money for months or years because of lengthy from students’ expansion. Money allocated mandatory fees would very probably not be used for additional houses until after those same students had graduated. Gradual growth The Student Assembly feels that the remaining $35,000 along with incdmc gained from rents and other means, will allow Scholastic Housing to obtain an additional 4 houses in the next S years, Mr. Saleh said. Although Scholastic Housing had projected its growth rate at S houses in the next S years, Mr. Saleh minimized this difference; “The hope is that Scholastic Housing will grow slowly and eventually become self-perpetuating.” Sub-Board 1 has adopted a similar position toward Scholastic Housing, and will continue to disperse funds to Housing out of the remaining $35,000. Business manager Lester Goldstein maintained that Scholastic Housing would have sufficient “equity" and income to grow slowly. According to Mr. Goldstein: “if $70,000 (the original allocation) is enough, there is no need to spend $90,000. And $70,000 is enough.” Mr. Goldstein admitted that the question of how Scholastic Housing spent its money led back to the question of who has final control. In the case of Scholastic housing. Sub-Board has final control over the purchase of real property. Additionally, the Housing Corporation submits a general budget to Sub-Board. Within this budget, the corporation has a free hand in most minor expenditures, but most major expenses must be submitted to Sub-Board for review. Tight money Questioned as to how long it would be before the remaining $35,000 was allocated. Mr. Goldstein replied: “There is no time period on the committments.” Housing’s only hope for additional funds was an application pending before the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) for SI.275 million in federal funds.However, President Nixon’s freeze on all federal housing grants has virtually eliminated any chance that the application will be accepted. The decision not to grant any new allocations to Scholastci Housing has all but eliminated any aspirations to purchase apartment buildings instead of large houses with many single rooms, according to Sub-Board treasurer Jennifer Washburn. Cooperative living in apartment buildings has been a goal of Scholastic Housing almost since it began, she explained. It almost negotiated the purchase of an apartment building in 1972. “We were close to closing,” said Ms. Washburn, herself a member of the Scholastic Housing executive committee at the time. “But ‘close’ was the difference between $50,000 and $350,000,” Mr. Goldstein added. Project provides link between prisoners and community by Jacqui Schock Spectrum Staff Writer The Attica Build Project is one of a number of new Community Action Corps (CAC) programs designed to increase student involvement in the community. Formed by “Bridge,” an organization concerned with increasing interaction between the prison and the outside community, the Attica Build Project was one response to the glaring weaknesses of the prison system publicized during the aftermath of the 1971 Attica riots. According to CAC Social Services coordinator Elise Chayet: ‘The expressed interest in the program. as a result of his confinement, faces an extremely difficult time upon re-entering inmate, society.” She said “Bridge” felt that community volunteers, and entering prison the a one-to-one establishing relationship with the inmates, would greatly aid this re-entry process. Preparation for release For two years, “Bridge” has recruited and trained volunteers to help the inmate prepare for his release from prison. In keeping with its goals, ‘Bridge” would like to involve the student population for the first time in its work at the Attica and Albion Correctional Facilities. Student volunteers are by trained “Bridge” staff members and then put into contact with an inmate who has “Bridge asks for a six-month committment from the volunteers in order to insure the stability required in such a relationship. Ms. Chayet also mentioned other new CAC projects. “We arc looking into the question of public open space for recreational areas in Buffalo,” she said. “We research the project, find funding, look into staffing, and find manpower to construct it.” Housing Inspection is another recently-developed CAC program. Action coordinator Marti Thome explained; “Many students, members of the working class and minority groups have been taken advantage of by landlords due to inefficient laws.” She pointed out that Housing Inspection “involves initial research into the legal process and zoning laws, and possibly introducing bills to alter bad laws.” The Fair Hearing program enables a person to be represented in court if he feels he is being cheated in any way. “CAC wants to find officials or lawyers to teach people at the State University of Buffalo about welfare laws, so they can actually go into the community and assist in these kind of cases,” Ms. Chayet said. Anyone interested in special education can help retarded children in speech and hearing by working classrooms, in after-school or programs, children’s hospitals. Additionally, students are needed for remedial reading seminars. CAC will arrange to place a student in one of the various centers by the contacting appropriate officials. Volunteer counselling CAC also needs volunteers to work with professional counselors at and family courts neighborhood Counseling centers. Upon completing a special training course, volunteers will become assistant counselors In addition an Environi ital Action Committee is investigating ways of cutting down on the consumption of electricity "Rather than throw volunteers cold, we want to try them with the of the specific perspective out into the to provide problem area and the tools to tackle it,” said CAC director Mark Carlin. “Ms. Thome added: ‘There’s plenty of room for initiating ideas and innovations." She noted CAC wants to start other projects in addition to their already-established programs. Ms. Chayet said: ’‘If people are interested and want to participate this interest, CAC will provide an area in which it can be executed. Although CAC did not start all the projects, it has resource contacts with many community projects."’ �GSA meeting Shortage of money for graduate waivers A shortage of graduate student Affairs chairman for the faculty tuition waivers and opposition to of Arts and Letters.

Staff Writer His wife has described him as an “over-the-hill constipated Sicilian prizefighter,” but Rod Serling is better known to television audiences as the man from "The Twilight Zone." Mr. Sorting has admittedly spent “eighteen years building up the image” of a tall, ageless and grim man with a look “capable of strangling small children.” Last Wednesday evening, those same small children of yesteryear crowded Norton Hall’s Fillmore Room to listen to Mr. Serling’s pontificate on the “Absurdities of the Twentieth Century.” Mr. Serling, President of the Television Academy of Arts and Sciences, eased into his address with several humorous remarks about the rigors of the lecture circuit, noting that he had slept a total of four hours during the last three days. After he had successfully loosened up his audience, Mr. Serling began his assault, first centering his attack on television. He described this media as “the bland leading the bland,” particularly condemning the tube for its “violence and redundancy.” Euphoria, not reality Occasionally, he conceded, there is “a flash of creativity”. Mr. Serling displayed great pessimism regarding the fact that while the Watergate hearings were on television, too many people wanted their soap operas back. According to the writer, the audience’s “tastes run to euphoria rather than reality.” Both the profit-seeking networks and insipid commercials were denounced by the speaker as the cause of television’s current dilemma. ‘There’s at least one commercial for every three minutes of news,” said Mr. Serling, which range from “pseudo-funny to downright stomach-turning." He added: “You could easily go from the agony of Vietnam to the heartbreack of psoriasis.” The Supreme Court ruling on pornography was discussed next, as Mr. Serling said that “dirty" movies were not new, they were simply called “stag films” a few years ago. “Sex is part of our times,” he explained, but is it to be “an act of love or the right of gratification?" Who should censor? As a writer, however, he finds censorship “uniquely menacing.” “Who has the right to censorship?” asked Mr. Serling. While sex films are being closed down, television violence continues to flourish. “No one worries about the psyche of the young,” he commented. Mr. Serling paused briefly to warn the audience that the next “absurdity” might offend and shock certain people. He then denounced the current Washington administration the “most corrupt .incompetent and immoral administration in the history of the republic.” After the applause subsided, he expressed a distrust for those occupying high offices. Mr. Serling refered to the events of last Friday as a “circus” when President Nixon “annointed” Gerald Ford to the Vice-Presidency. However, he praised “those two dogged courageous for bringing reporters from the Washington Post Watergate out into the open. ” Give a damn Quite abruptly, the tone of his address changed. Mr. Serling said he was confident of the good on earth, and that now was not a bad time to live. His dream is that all men be “content” while the earth “rights” itself. More importantly, he stressed, it is imperative that all men “do care, do commit, that we all give a damn.” Mr. Serling was then honored with a standing ovation by everyone, including those in the back of the Fillmore Room who were unable to hear the speaker. This problem plagued much of the audience, who interrupted the address to express their dissatisfaction. Mr. Serling appeared sympathetic, but nothing could be done to alleviate the diffuciilty. The floor was then opened to questions, which mostly concerned Mr. Serling’s television career. He could not remember his opening “shriek” from The he Twilight Zone. “This is the fifthdimension recalled, but he had trouble from there. His ideas for the show came from the far reaches of his imagination, but he clearly does not practice what he preached: “I have to turn on the light when I go to the attic.” He vows he will never go back to television, however. Someone then asked why he appeared in so many commercials if he was so opposed to them. Mr. Serling did not really answer the Question, he merely expressed the hope that whatever he appeared in was not too offensive. When he was requested to speak at the North Campus, the speaker asked if it was a bar. You are no leaving the Twilight Zone. “ " ... �Talks are fruitless as Mideast battle rages by Michael O’Neill Staff Writer cease-fire that would entail Israeli withdrawal from Arab lands siezed in the 1%7 war. The proposal included holding a peace conference at the U.N. to work out the details of the truce and ensure a lasting peace. When questioned about the offering, Israeli premier Golda Meir claimed she had been official notice and comment. She did mention, however, that she did not feel the Arabs were ready to make peace, since they had not yet been convinced that their position was hopeless, of their armor and air power into the battle. The battle is seen by many observers as the most important one of the war. Casualties are expected to be high on both sides, but no official lists have been made public. The United States made a major committment to resupply fiven no declined Israel with equipment lost in the when President Nixon war, Monday approved a massive airlift of war material to the Mid-East. American C-5A transports began and loading tanks, armor helicopters for Tel Aviv almost immediately. A number of F-4 Phantoms, stationed in Europe, flew to Israel early this week. Speculations are that they will be turned over to the Israeli air force. Israel will benefit from the aircraft replacements much more than the Arabs due to the large number of reserve Israeli pilots. The planes will be put into use as soon as they arrive in Tel Aviv. The Arabs, on the other hand, have more aircraft than trained pilots, and their air casualties will be more severely felt. An American aircraft carrier, USS Iwo Jima. set sail for the eastern Mediterranean on Tuesday. On board was a compliment of 2,000 marines. The possibility of American fighting forces in the Mid-East has still remains in Israeli hands. On the diplomatic front, visiting Danish premier Anker met with Russian Jorgensen leaders in Moscow. After speaking to Soviet leader Leonid Brezhnev, he announced that the Russian would' support a settlement that would return to government the Arabs territory captured by Israel in J the. 1967 war. He indicated that the Russians would help maintain a peace that was based on those terms. Mr. Jorgensen expressed his own personal feelings when he said he felt that United States and Soviet Union had an obligation to restore peace to the Mid-East. In Nixon WAshington, President and of State Secretary Henry Kissinger continued to the large number, of reserve Israeli pilots. The planes will be put into use as soon Arab nations, who expressed hope for a strong peace-making affort by the U.S. Representatives of Arab oil extensive U.S* involvement.

Some members expressed concern over the delays in presenting the budget. Spectrum Assembly fears of an “unchecked at Tuesday’s meeting in Haas Lounge. Upon presentation of various committee Student executive” surfaced used for these appointments, the criteria appointments came under attack. Assemblyman Joe Michaeli termed the process, a “senority system" which did not “give new students a change." Of particular concern to the Assembly were the appointments to the Finance and Personnel and Appointments committees. One member noted that the executive branch was much more strongly represented in these than in other committees. Cliff Palefsky, Student Rights coordinator, replied that it was “important to have people with experience” serving on those committees. However, another member said: “Since this body is directly affected by the outcome |of the | the of those workings committees), they Assembly) should have a part in deciding who is on them.” An amendment to the SA constitution requiring all appointments to the Finance and Personnel and Appointments Committees to be approved by the Assembly, rather than just the Executive Committee, wps.passed with a majority vote. More dissatisfaction Dissatisfaction with the alleged growing power of the executive was also reflected by the election of Assembly members to the Executive Committee. The nominees were called upon to identify themselves and, if they desired, to tell why they want to serve on this committee. The nominees expressed doubts as to whether student interests were being effectively represented, and voiced fears that the Assembly would become a “rubber stamp” body. Suggestions for the development of a “ruling clique” drew no response. Assembly members Mark Humm, Frank Jackalone and Mark Carlin were elected to the Executive Committee. The Assembly also approved the appointment of three undergraduate student judges and three alternate to the Student Judiciary.

Assembly member Sam Prince termed it “an injustice to Jews of this campus . that they are not recognized as a minority.” Mr Palefsky replied that the University has set standards for the recognition of minority groups, and that Jews do not meet the established guidelines. He did not elaborate. Mr. Palefsky called the move foi recognition as a minority group “ridiculous.” A move to revoke recognition of SUSA (State University Student Association) at the next SASU meeting, and to push for a stale-wide boycott of SUSA, was rejected. Delegate Paul Kade fell that since the representatives for both organizations were the same, the continued existence of SUSA would be "adding a legitimate voice to SASU ." C hairman Dave Saleh called attention to the problems of students on the North Campus, particularly the lack of activities and disappointment in the Inter-Residence Council (IRC ). He called for a committee to begin functioning on the Amherst campus in hopes that "IRC will begin to recognize their Affairs responsibilities.” The Student Committee was directed to study the problem and present a report at the next meeting. minority .

Previous diplomatic efforts have proven fruitless, and have had little or no effect on the battles which continue to rage unchecked. In two unrelated actions earlier this week, both the Israelis and the Arabs attempted to break through enemy lines. On Tuesday, an Israeli armored unit was sent into the western bank of the Suez missile Egyptian to strike installations along the Canal. The surface-to=air missiles stationed along the Canal have proven an effective deterent to Israeli air power. President Sadat hinted that the Egyptians had readied a missile capable of striking at any position within Israel. The missile has been named Zafir, an Egyptian word signifying victory. If the weapon has indeed been perfected, it has yet to be used against the Israelis.

No matter who is "right" in this dispute, people are being killed, maimed and wounded. Whether one sincerely believes that the Arab or Israeli position is justified, supporters should be praying for peace, not the annilhilation of the enemy. There is no doubt that Israel was attacked. Tel Aviv knew the Yom Kippur attack was coming, but chose not to strike first so the world could clearly see who was the aggressor. For a country with an increasingly military image, this was a wise political choice, although the price was paid in lives. Egypt's recent cease-fire offer, with the provision that Israel return the Arab lands occupied in the 1967 war, makes clear that Egypt and Syria's surprise offensive was designed to gain a foothold in the occupied territories and then press for a peace . . . AND BUSS ALL TMI >, LIBERAL JUDGES . . . Looking OIqhh settlement. To Arab supporters who denounce "Zionist expansionism," Israel's refusal to yield the territories seized in 1967 seems unreasonable. Yet it must be remembered that tiny Israel, surrounded by hostile neighbors, has had to fight for its survival ever since its creation, in 1948, 1956, 1967 and again in 1973. It desired to keep the Arab territories not out of expansionist desires, but as a buffer zone against Arab aggression. If Israel could be assured of military security, it would be far more willing to part with the seized lands, but Tel Aviv is understandably sceptical of recent Arab statements that they do not desire Israel's annihilation. Any ountry that has been invaded by neighbors as often as Israel would naturally be wary of assurances from opponents who have never Egypt recognized its very right to exist. These two conflicting desires and Syria's desire for the return of occupied lands, Israel's insistence on secure borders are at the heart of the Mideast war. Any compromise solution will have to satisfy both demands, perhaps through a partial return of Arab lands accompanied by some form of international peace-keeping machinery. The United Nations, though, has been appallingly ineffective throughout the crisis. The biggest danger of the localized conflict, of course, is its escalation to include outside powers. Unfortunately, the war has underscored the fact that detente is more shadow than substance, and that mutual restraint by the two superpowers of conflicting ideologies, as pledged in recent U.S.-Soviet agreements, has not yet materialized. The resulting situation is that a war which might have exhauseted itself, through heavy casualties and depletion of war materiel, could conceivably continue indefinitely as America and Russia fuel the war machines of the opposing combatants. Predictably, both sides are blaming the other for lack of restraint, but the U.S. "decision to resupply Israel was clearly forced by the massive Soviet airlift of weapons to the Arabs. The U.S. initially hesitated, hoping for mutual Soviet restraint, but when the magnitude of the Russian airlift became apparent, the American commitment to Israel’s survival mandated against allowing a change in the military balance in the Middle East. One wonders why the Soviets, who had even overlooked the mining of Haiphong harbor in May 1972 in their eagerness for improved U.S. relations, would decide to so blatantly back the Arabs and risk the technological and trade benefits of detente. Perhaps they are unsatisfied with the tangible benefits to date, as favored tariff status has been blocked by a Congress responding to American public opinion on Soviet domestic repression. And perhaps they felt the leverage of Arab oil, now being applied in monthly 5% reductions aimed at the U.S., would force the U.S. to pressure Israel into a settlement favorable to the Arabs. If so, the Soviets underestimated the American commitment to Israel's survival, and the fact that Tel Aviv makes up its own mind. And perhaps the relatively mild 5% oil cutback reflects that the Arabs want to emphasize their ability to use oil as a political weapon, but understand that any large-scale embargo would be interpreted as a "hostile set" and wreak serious consequences. The U.S. has stood firm on the oil question: we will not be blackmailed, as history repeatedly has taught that capitulation to blackmail only invites more of the same. In the midst of this human tragedy, peace-loving people can only hope that Egypt's willingness for a cease-fire, plus recent diplomatic initiatives between the U.S. and the Soviet Union, will provide the basis for a compromise solution acceptable to both sides. But while these diplomatic peace making efforts continue, the U.S. must continue to support Israel. VVith a Soviet Union strongly fueling the Arab cause, an American "even-handed" approach would actually mean the abandonment of Israel. Only by offsetting the Soviet escalation and maintaining some semblance of balance in the Mideast can we convince the protagonists that military victory is both costly and impossible, and that cease-fire negotiations are the wisest route to resolve this bitter conflict. - — Page four The Spectrum Friday, 19 October 1973 . . by Barry Kaplan This past Tuesday night the American television audience was treated to the first showing of a new series entitled, “I’m Just an Innocent Victim.” This show was based on the best programs that television used to offer: The Fugitive, The Lone Ranger, and of course, the beloved Checkers Show. This week our protagonist was beset by cowardly, sniveling enemies hiding behind the twin pillars of Law a charge of political corruption, and the plot revolved around how he would deal with such charges. As true to the format of all Greek tragedies, the protagonist presented himself as a man tragically wroned, but a man who would rise above the pettiness of his enemies and sacrifice himself upon the sutt«fe of “National Good.” As is the case with most modern dramas attempting to revive and utilize an earlier stylistic form, this one suffered from a slavish imitation to style rather than an emphasis on content. The notion of a hero suffering from the slings of outrageous fortune has seen its day on television, although it enables the American viewing public to re-acquaint themselves with half-forgotten people like Lincoln, Washington and James Garfield. As a drama, it was definitely exciting, due to the excellent acting of the lead character, although the set decoration and props were definitely inferior to similar productions. After months of publicity and excitement, the producers were finally able to present this program; although the groundlings, who admire this actor as a hero in real life, wished to postpone it till right after the ABC Monday night football game to attract a larger audience. However, all of this hoopla came to naught on Tuesday night due to a week script and an incredibly cliched dialogue. The script constantly contradicted itself, and although it was an attempt to elucidate important points in our hero’s defense, it raised more questions than it attempted to answer. In our protagonist’s opening remarks, he attempted to dispel any image that he was engulfed in “a paroxysm of bitterness,” yet the entire script dropped innuendos and charges that our hero was being railroaded. In fact, although our leading man praised the “deity in charge,” another critic noted in The Nashville Banner that the God in charge supposedly threw our hero to the dogs. This description of pressure and abandonment from above does not fit the script as it was presented to American viewers. The script was based on the common premise that the protagonist was completely innocent of all the charges presented, and that his only reason for resigning was to save the country from the “ordeal of division and uncertainty... subjecting the country to a further agonizing period of months without an unclouded successor for the Presidency.” Very little mention was made concerning a 40-page legal brief which disclosed in detail the substantial charges that the Republican prosecutor had accumulated. The specter of a leading male character actor being intimidated by “false” allegations raised the question of sincerity and truthfulness. How could he admit to a petty little income tax charge unless he did have something to hide? Although the money might not have been put to “personal use,” the implication was that it had been used for campaign purposes. The script utilized the concept of a “new post-Watergate political morality” in which our hero and fund-raising admitted that his contract-dispensing activities might have been “unethical and unlawful.” The script-writers are under the assumption that laws have been changed since Watergate, and as we all know, they have remained the same. Therefore, what was illegal then is illegal now, and verbal acrobatics and mental convolutions do not change this fact. To insinuate that our'hero was a babe in the woods, is to remake Greek drama into a video version of Dondi. It seems that the script-writers, in their effort to return to the style of Greek tragedies, have forgotten that the unfortunate Greek hero usually did something that displeased the Gods, and as a result, was afflicted by tragedy. Our protagonist does fit the description of a tragic figure, but he due to a weak script and an incredibly cliched dialogue. The script from the war dead while the headers plunder whole cities. His attempt to wear the trappings of a mythical leader a towering figure above the hurly-burly of petty nonsense is outdated and not in the true National Interest. To revive the tragic Greek drama of a mythical hero sacrificing himself for the good of the country is not only a bore to more sophisticated viewers, but poor style and taste. This show might have been better in a game format and scheduled along with the Dating Game, To Tell the Truth, Hollywood Squares and other shows of public interest. Now that the program has finally hit the old boob tube, there is no doubt that sequels have been planned by the producers. The trend in television is now toward the revival of old shows, and there are rumors about that the star of the old “Checkers” show is planning a comeback. Since the Greek tragedy style has been utilized by the show just reviewed, there is considerable debate over what format this sequel should use. However, whatever the format, there can be no doubt that the quality of acting will be of the highest caliber, and great use will be made of props and ceremonial articles. Hdpefully the show can be previewed at the earliest possible time, for there are many people in this country who are anxious for its debut. / - - �Ixl F c <T 3 D D a » <0 f •'I Mott the Hoople: Incredible lyrics and phenomenal rock pulling it lower around the hips to by Ruth Musical show Spectrum Music Critic off multi-sexually ' You're just a rock and roll " queen You know what / mean And I'm just a rock and roll star."

Osten to Edgar Winter: —continued on page 14 �Female ‘Maids' Production of Genet's play has shortcomings by Iwy Palmer Arts Staff The Theater Department's production of Jean Genet's The Maids Harriman Theater was an and experiment in role-playing role-reversal. The female cast performed Genet's emotionally brutal and perverse drama about two French domestics, Solange and Claire. They play a continuing game whose object is the murder of their mistress. Genet's play itself, for all its emotional impact, never seems to go anywhere. From its opening lines, when Claire, acting the role of Madame, declares, "Everything that comes out of the kitchen is spit!" the theme of servant/master exploitation and hatred is merely repeated and never developed. This is one of Genet's many weaknesses as a playwright. A convicted criminal himself, his obsession with human degradation and at —Klrstein/Jensen Male 'Maids' Clutter and confusion adequate. by Steven Father Arts staff Psycho-drama, meta-theater, the French homosexual-criminal Jean Genet's work The Maids was presented by the Theater Department, last week in Harriman Studio. It was performed with two casts, one female and one male, each playing on alternate nights. Playwright Jean Genet pioneered a of somewhat statling philosphoy theater which entails a truth paradox. He believed that for an actor to play his role, he must play it false. That is to say, the actor must play his role as an actor, not his character, because the character is merely falsely acting out some stigma set by society. To attain truth in this manner, the phoniness in acting must be recognized by the actors and directors. Otherwise the becomes, one production of inadequacy instead of art. Unfortunately, the almost male cast appeared to more like the latter, and not without the help of fate. Director Elizabeth Axelrod intended to field a totally male cast, but was unable to. The cast consisted of three members: Claire and Solange, (played by Patrick Mruphy and Theresa DePaulo, respectively) who are sisters and maids for the same madame (David Balsom), a wealthy society woman. Who's who? The play centers around the between relationship Claire and Solange. They constantly play out a fantasy where Claire plays the Madame and Solange plays Clair. Solange vents The confusion increased The actors' energies appeared to me misdirected. Many fiery exchanges lacked true emotion. The script itself was cluttered with profound statements that flew by faster than they could be examined. Many of the images were unclear and most of the sarcasm missed. Director Axelrod should have paid more attention to the contrasts and differences between characters than to their similarities and interchangeability. Sexual overtones in the production were skillfully handled. The play opened with an allusion to Solange having a fettish for rubber gloves. The tactile nature of the characters, their strange love-hate relationship builds to an emotional orgasm by Solange. She finally explodes at Claire, playing the Madame, and beats her with a riding crop. This was the point of the fantasy game to begin with, which reality, in the form of an alarm clock, previously interrupted. This time the game ends with reality, the death of Claire, who purposely drinks poisoned tea that was to be the vessel for the Madame's murder. Reality quickly vanishes as Solange believes the Madame is dead, not Claire. A false sense of freedom overwhelms her. A number of people in the audience after the play described the production best: "I should have read it meant before I came.” her self-disdain upon the Madame through her pretense df Claire. Claire, in her pretense of the Madame, is beaten by Solange (playing Claire). A sado-masochistic relationship develops as they are constatly flashing back and forth between reality and the game. Their fantasy also involes a plot to discredit the Madame's husband and murder the Madame. Out of a hatred for their job and the low, closed social position it places them in, the maids' fantasy develops. Using a male cast enhances the theme by making the players transvestites. The play can be successfully presented with a male cast in two ways: All three cast members male, or with the Each Madame only female. presentation reveals its own intriguing view of transvestism. An attempt to present the show with Claire and Madame male and Solange female can only lead to confusion. In a play where fantasy and reality switch back and forth and with actors popping in and out of different characters, it is necessary for the actor to adapt a subtle means of cluing the audience as to which character they are playing at the moment. Patrick Murphy failed to do this to any great extent and Theresa DePalo was barely Page six The Spectrum . Friday, 19 October 1973 . the corruption gives impetus to his work; the full impact of the two servants' intricate love and hate for one another comes across beautifully in the female cast production Old maids Solange and Claire are two spinster sisters in their early thirties. Solange is the elder and tries to use this to her own advantage. She often addresses Claire as "my little sister" and insinuates that age implies strength. Claire accuses her of attempted domination and tries in turn to be the more aggressive of the two. Despite their differences, Claire and Solange really that they are feel interchangeable beings in their black uniforms and white aprons. They both passionately worship and despise Madame, who has expensive clothing and a debonair lover. When Madame is out, they their "ceremony": one of them dresses up as Madame, using her gowns and perfumes generously, while the other plays her real role as maid and lowly trash. They exchange insults and taunts until they reach what can only be described as an orgiastic state Just when the end of their game seems imminent, a phone rings or the alarm that they have set to warn of Madame's return goes off. perform Roles within roles within It seems that Solange’s and Claire's lives revolve around the ceremony The roles they play when acting imperceptibly blend into their real roles, so that the game becomes reality in a way so subtle that neither of them realizes it. The play culminates in Claire committing suicide while playing Madame, thus killing her enemy symbolically as she kills herself The symbolism may not have been so apparent to Claire Marlene Rosenthal and Theresa DePaolo gave excellent performances as the two servants, while June Dueli as Madame was weak, and seemed to be playing a forty-year old when Genet's Madame is about twenty-five. The staging and direction were adequate. The Theater Department deserves credit for putting an obvious amount of effort into this production, but it fell far short of good theater, perhaps because it overplayed Genet's inherent emotionalism and left the subtler elements of the drama in shadow. However, a large part of the shortcomings of this production can be blamed on the shortcomings of Genet himself, and it's difficult at times to see exactly where the fault liei. . .. �Coffeehouse Country and blues with Kaz Like many of the artists who have workecf the UUAB Coffeehouse, singer/songwriter Eric Justin Kaz plays best before a small audience in an atmosphere that allows interaction with the listeners. Those who follow country and blues music will recognize Eric as the writer of several songs made popular by some fairly well-known artists. The list of songs include. Bonnie Raitt's "Love Has No Pride," Tracy Nelson's "Mother Earth," and Linda Ronstadt's "I Won't Be Hanging Round." Kaz will be appearing at the UUAB Coffeehouse, located on the first floor of Norton Hall, tonight and tomorrow night. Although he's known primarily as a writer, Kaz has performed with a number of successful groups. After dropping out of New York's Hunter College he moved to the Village and did time as a backup musician before hooking up with Happy and Arty Traum to form a band called the Children of Paradise. He began playing with the Blues Magoos shortly after and performed on their highly successful LP "Never Coin Back to Georgia." Kaz's talents go far beyond performing. Two of Nelson, and Ronstadt are just a few of the women that have recorded his songs and admired his talent. Eric Kaz's songs are the main thing. His tunes combine religious fervor with simple elegance and reflect the long tedious hours of effort that went into their making. Several of the songs (most notably "Mother Earth") show definite strain; of Gospel influence. Many of Kaz's lyrics display an inner conflict tempered by a firm belief in himself. "/ can't explain these nights I've spent Waiting fordaylight What makes us feel so wrong inside When we know we may be right" Also appearing this weekend will be Debby Ash, singer who has been playing with Spoon and the All Stars throughout the western a contemporary folk New York area.

O'Neill applause for Mayall crowd \thunderous Sell-out John Mayall. I've been listening and following John Mayall for a good number of years. I've seen him go through a lot of trips in an ever-changing approach to music. Last Friday night at Kleinhans Music Hall proved to be no different, as Mayall introduced his relatively new band and their new record, Ten Years Gone. After seeing a sell-out crowd (yeah, I was surprised it was sold out, too!) bombard the band mercilessly with applause, recapping Mayall's unheralded music career now would be useless. Everyone knows the people he has molded and the music he has produced. Now he's put together a heavily jazz-influenced aggregation that can play blues as well as jazz. “Since everyone wants to hear 'Room to Move' we'll start things off with that." That fine cut from the Turning Point Ip, with drums brought to us by Keef Hartley, came across quite nicely. Mayall delivered some moving riffs on harp, later followed by a good break by Red Holloway on alto sax. To the delight of the crowd, Mayall proceeded to carry the melody by producing different sounds with his mouth. Chicky, chicky wah? "We're going to do something now, sort of a little jam, but most of these don't have titles anyway." The song ended up to be a bluesy-jazz number which featured Victor Gaskin taking a bass break. Shit, I haven't seen a band sponsor a bass break since Captain Beefheart appeared at Clark Hall. No jive! I "Look, this is no jive. Man, your record collection can't be complete unless you got a Freddie Robinson album in your collection. Yeah, now. I'm gonna do one off my album, "Off The Cuff," which is also called "Off The Cuff." Robinson on lead let fly some beautiful crying blues notes to start the number off. The band slowly melted in and together fused into a nice, light jazz movement. Robinson sang as the band reverted back to a bluesy tempo. Mayall did a number of songs from the band's new Ip, Ten Years Gone. "Better Let It Pass You By" and "Driftin’’ sounded tight and diversified. The rhythms and melodies were always synchronically changing, adding to the group's intricate and complex sound. "Driftin’’ featured Blue Mitchell on trumpet, hitting some ear-piercing notes. At one point Mayall, Hartley and Mitchell sat down on the edge of the stage during "Driftin." Hartley had his drum sticks and was ganging out the beat on the rim of the stage as Mayall played some nice harp against Mitchell's trumpet. Then Robinson sat down in front of the drums and started playing a simple beat. The unrehearsed jam brought the crowd to a standing applause. 'The Good Time Lady," a good jazz number, and the encore ended the night. I would like to take some timy out to discuss Mayall's new image. I've seen Mayall perform many times with different bands, but I have never seen him appear to be more involved in his music as he seemed to be last Friday night. He was very active on stage, moving back and forth and always talking to either the musicians or the crowd. He seems to have reached his musical plateau, both professionally and aesthetically. From Louisberg, Pennsylvania came Fred to warm up the anxiou.s crowd. They proved to be very good musicians independently, with a lot of potential under neath their Focus-oriental sound. I mildly enjoyed their performance, mainly because they drifted tightly from rock structures to jazz and back to rock again. The lead and bass guitarists appeared to be quite polished and refined. Fred performed a pastoral that sounded like the theme song from The Prisoner. A high-pitched, well-placed, electrified violin stuch out in {he break. The entire concert made for a quite enjoyable experience. - Sheldpn Kamieniecki —Enkerud Friday, 19 October 1973 The Spectrum Page seven . . �Time to Run'goes absolutely nowhere marijuana! The hitch-hiker is inconsiderate and leaves the driver, who has gotten a flat tire, for another ride. Come on now; how many times has that happened to you, friends? Even the dialogue in this flick fourth-rate. "The total is bummer" and "you're weird" really "blew my mind." There's no real depth to this movie either.

Nelson sees his son on a TV interview taken at his school and becomes enraged. — Cross-purposes Meanwhile, the religious theme is slowly creeping in. Everyone, even the professors (!) at the college, are into Jesus. Everyone, that is, except Carver. He just doesn't know where it's at yet. After a big fight with Dad, Carver leaves home. He can't communicate with Pops, so he gets out. Even girlfriend, his Winmal, Joan can't get through to him. She tries the love-and-Jesus but approach, Carver's just not ready for that — no vibrations, just a story being told. Carver picks up two Jesus freaks. 'Thanks, man. We really prayed you'd stop." Oh, wow! Luckily, they're going to a Billy Graham concert and the hero seems saved. All it took was three minutes of listening to Mr. Graham speak about Jesus and the son is saved from a life of despair and ruin. Before going out to see this film it would be appropriate for everyone to know that a live sermon follows each showing. The audience is told, I mean, asked to repent their sins and to accept Jesus as their savior. A short sermon follows. No, this is not a Sunday School class. This is a real, live American theater. Aside from the sermon and Mr. Graham's preaching at the end of the movie, the film itself is a total Nelson to talk Today the word is yesterday. Nostalgia has swept through the land with 1950's fashions, 1950's music, and 1950's films like American Graffiti. With this nostalgia wave in full blossom, the time was ripe for the re-release of the Merian C. Cooper production This is Cinerama. Television was a big blow to the movie industry early 1950's. The convenience of being the in entertained in your own home, instead of in a distant theater, was slowly being realized; people were buying more television sets. To compete with the television menace, the movie moguls began coming up with new techniques and gimmicks to re-attract those viewers lost to the tube. Color productions became more and more common, and such far-out methods as the infamous "3-D Movies" and special movie-viewing eyeglasses were a part of this effort. The innovation of the 3-lens camera, where each lens was aimed at a different angle, was successfully used in creating a three-dimensional effect (sans glasses). This made the viewer feel as if he were in the middle of the action. method called for three different each capturing one of three angles. Stereophonic sound was also used, and together with the awesome picture, it created an arousing visual and audio experience. This creation was dabbed "Cinerama," and a group of men, including newscaster-traveller Lowell Thomas, met and formed Cinerama Productions. The organization planned, as Thomas said, "to revolutionize the movie industry" with its brainchild. Unfortunately for Cinerama Productions, it was not the only innovator of wide-screen methods. Cinemiracle, Cinemascope, VistaVision, Superscope, and "ultrawide" Todd-AO were among other new "revolutionizing" techniques employed. Alas, poor Cinerama's high production costs caused it to be passed by in favor of far cheaper wide-screen methods. But, rejoice, nostalgia buffs, for just before the drowning, ol' Lowell Thomas made a demonstration film of his method, and it still lives today, for THIS IS CINERAMA / Vertigo And with those historic words, you suddenly find yourself on a mountainous, snake-like rollercoaster. The upsy-downsy feeling is not present to a real extreme, but it is there all right. In later sequences this demonstration takes you to an opera. a church choir, and the Vienna Boys' Choir of 1952 to display the stereophonic sound. To show off its visual effects, the film views a ballet, a bullfight in Spain, Scotland and Niagara Falls. Most notable of the Cinerama traits viewed in this demonstration is the visibility of three chunks of picture. The three different angles come together in strangely-pasted-together lines at intervals across the screen. 'Three dimensional reality" is disturbed "slightly" with the sight of two-headed, two-mouthed, or three-armed creatures. Yet, this aspect of the film has its redeeming value. The 50’s was an age of new discoveries, crude imitations of modern equipment, and the continuing process of "getting the bugs out." All wet Though Thomas originally had claimed the movie was not a straight-forward travelogue, you would never know it from his segment on Florida's Cyprus Gardens. The tour at first radiantly glows with nature, but soon is snubbed out with just too much showmanship, including a water show and rich bits of humor (repeated scenes of an employee who is constantly late). However, as logic would dictate. Cinerama is most affective in short, scenic segments, when it glides along at the pace at which the viewer's eyes peruse the big silver screen. Everything is excused with Lowell Thomas' narrative tour of the continental United States, which closes the last half-hour of this Cineramic experience. The sweeping tour of the Midwest and the West Coast is worth the price of admission alone. The rigid mountain cliffs, wavering wheat on a summer day, peaked mountains breaking through the clouds, and deep blue lakes, all shown to the musical accompaniment of America, really gives one pride in the beauty of this land, in a time when too much beauty is being obscured. Aging beauties It has been twenty-one years since This is Cinerama was originally released in New York, and received praise from the excited critics of the day. But today, the film shows its age. It failed to revolutionize the cinema. The Holiday Theater does not have the curling concave screen which cinerama's backers had hoped would adorn Cineramically-designed theaters of the future. To get the maximum three-dimensional effect, it is highly recommended that you sit in the first five rows if possible, or right in front of the screen if you can get away with not being bombarded by the others who are trying to experience their Cineramic trip along with you. Do not be disappointed after viewing This is Cinerama if you do not get as motion-sick as the last time you took an Allegheny Airlines flight. After all. Cinerama does affect different people in different ways. So with that warning in mind, feel free to rough it down to the Holiday Theater in Cheektowaga if you are interested in seeing a good sample of the creative mind of yesterday's America.

Six novels, four books of short stories, three books of poetry. What does such productivity indicate? Well, to start, Oates' productivity itself has occasioned snide reactions from some critics who see her as a sort of machine woman. Truly, a month cannot go by without encountering Miss Oates in some form or another. Her field of play includes the Women's Home Magazines, the Little Reviews, semi-serious mags like Atlantic and Harper's, high class glossies like Esquire and Playboy. Can any other writer be said to cover as much territory? Critics like Alfred Kazin have begun to take Miss Oates very seriously. Miss Oates takes herself very, very seriously. A Mister Calvin Bedient covered the front page of Sunday's Book Review with a vague and rabid review that ran the gamut from Existential Risk and Zen Philosophy to D.H. Lawrence and "psyches like prehistoric organisms, creatures alt spines and terrible soft undersides." Excess. While travelling through Europe I found many Americans (both middle-class tourists and university is there really any difference?) reading Miss backpackers Oates along with other writers: Irving Wallace, Irving Stone, Arthur Hailey. While it was distressing to discover Young Americans reading paperback editions of the same trash their parents buy more expensively from the book syndicates; it was satisfying to discover that whatever Oates' own high-brow pretensions may be, her audience has got her absolutely pegged. Given the nature of her audience, Oates'productivity no more appalling than that of a Simemon. Do With Me is What You Will's advertising copy is absolutely accurate ("The story of Elena, seemingly fated to a life of domination by others, who frees herself through forbidden love.'') Oates' publishers needn't cheapen or sensationalize her themes in order to sell her works. This has been done for them. Do With Me What You Will is written in four sections. In the first, Elena Ross is kidnapped by her ex-father from her school-yard. He lifts up the fence and she crawls through. She is driven cross-country by this crazed and cruel man (but his cruelty is of course, isn't it always in Oates? born out of the extemities of love.) He gets her to California, dyes her beautiful blonde hair black, imprisons her in a room where she doesn't care to eat (intestinal infection) and where cooties and other nasties infest her because her kind daddy sees that she doesn't like to shower. This is made logical (in Oatesian logic) because Leo the daddy has himself abandoned the faucet. — Daddy goes to the movies one day and never comes back. His body is never found. Nor has anyone seen him leave the movie house. Miss Oates, listen, this is a cheap mystery. Dickens (who wrote as much as you want to) killed his characters off in odd ways, too. But he went bazoo trying to scientifically justify spontaneous combustions and things of that sort. Anyway, Elena is found by her mother in a Children's Hospital. She is taken home. She is turned into a model. She has rare beauty. She rarely speaks. She looks at things but doesn't see them. Men desire her wildly. The end of Part One sees her married off to the older Marvin Howe, the Most Successful, Strange, and Brilliant Criminal Lawyer in the United States. Part Two summarizes the life of Jack Morrissey, Elena's "forbidden love" lover-to-be. His father, old Joseph 'Temporary Insanity" Morrissey shoots a man. He is defended by (surprise!) Marvin Howe. Young Jack is led by Marvin through an over prepared bit of testimony which frees his father. Jack decides to become (surprise!) a lawyer. After several miles of bland description of his work bet you on civil rights cases (situations in the South can't guess a one of them). Jack marries a woman named Rachel and falls in love with Elena. Essentially, Parts One and Two have been three hundred and six pages of exposition. Part Three is all novel, or should be. It is called "Crime" and is about Elena and Jack's extramarital affair. Embarrasssing and over affected Lawrentian passions. Part Four decides numb, dumb Elena (whose dialogue in the novel is limited mostly to "I don’t know") to leave her husband. Hooray, finally existential risk. She goes out to get the man she really feels Kierkegaardian dread about. About time. The whole affair (561 pages) is studded with flash-forwards to a later, happier time when Elena and Jack will flash back and tell each other about their lives. Yeah, this novel is very, very cyclic. It ends and begins again. This is all tied (isn’t everything?) to some vague notion Oates entertains in regard to the applicability of Yeat's cycles to American middle-class family life. - novel. Similarly, passion becomes for Oates an excuse for pretentious language; we hear more about "secret blood" and "raw, exposed nerve" than we'd care to. In other words Oates' philosophically metaphysical thematic (Law) is expressed in pragmatic language ( the unambiguous precise language of American lawyers.) Her D.H. Lawrence matrix (passion) is expressed in degraded, cheap language (the imprecise, sludgy sentimental language of women's Gothic Romance.) And yet Oates is not the inept writer so many critics would like to make her. Her successes are often a product of her failures. Joyce Carol Oates writes fiction the way other folks would man an ambulance. A character signals a bloody S.O.S. and the novel rushes, sirens blaring, to the scene of an accident: slit wrists, shot-up bodies, raped women. Once the blood is stanched and the danger is past, the ambulance goes cruising till its next emergency call. The question; can any novel endure one hundred and forty pages of uninterrupted cruise? Oates can do something no other writer I've encountered can do. She can assemble a set of unbelievable character in impossible situations and by setting not the scene but the psychic state, she produces a fiction that can sometimes be psychologically gripping and emotionally real. Her problem as a novelist is that when obsession and paroxysm are not generating a force-field, her characters are revealed in an earthy, demystified state; when they have to face the light of day they are revealed as pathologically boring zombies. Oates is in control of her characters only when they themselves are wildly out of control. When the world as it is demands treatment a world run by gravity, by her characters become physical law, by common sense — — implausible, her prose becomes bland, fatty, infuriating. When the characters are at rest the prose becomes obsessive. Senseless repetitions, verbal stutters; Excess. The reader becomes aware that in the absence of the spurts of "temporary insanity" that make the characters perform, Oates is trying to hyperventilate language make language — The thematic dialectic in Do With Me What You Will is between the Law (order, dispassion, rationality) and the "Western religion" of romantic Ipve (chaos, passion, irrationality). Clearly the thematic suggests an examination of the nature of guilt: guilt in the eyes of the law and guilt in moral sexual matters. Oates suggests that in a crime that crosses illegality with passion (such as rape), the victim loses innocence as the victimizer acquires guilt. Unfortunately, Law has become the American substitute for philosophy. The degraded technical language of the law replaces true philosophical discussion in the dizzy and irrational, out of control. itself What can you say about a writer whose every gesture is half flail, whose characters evince no motivation but inflate suddenly like strange fish for unpredictable shows of strength and then deflate and become frail, fragile nerve centers? Alfred Kazin, in his literary chronicle The Bright Book of Life, says that Oates writes as if she is in a trance. He admires this quality. It is a bad state for fiction when a writer is praised for semi-consciousness. M. Silverblatt Friday, 19 October 1973 The Spectrum Page nine . . �by Norman Salant Spectrum Mutic Critic Ain't Coryell mature? I mean, he looked so neat 'n nice, and talked so clear and slow and gave us information on all the members of his band, so we'd have more understanding so we could appreciate even more what was happening not only on the stage that particular evening but always for all time on the stage and off, when nobody's around and it's just a group of men trying to overcome all the pitfalls and make good music, did you get all that from him when he kept raving about Mike Mandel, the keyboard-piano-moog-wiz who can't see and has more control and ability than anybody I've every seen on the instrument, tike he played a moog, not just a piano that can make unique sounds, and I still can't believe he knew where to hit the right button all the time like it was second nature, and to comprehend all the limitless sounds and textures of the instrument and to make it fit and enhance and carry the music, it was perfect, and he's been with Larry since they were thirteen in school in southeast Washington, State of (check with Savino to see if I got that right), and he composes too with stark simplicity and to the point like a song called "Joy Ride" that was beautiful and happy and made the set becalise it was so different like a breath of fresh air, and Larry wishes people would get hip to him already and recognize him as a genius because he is, he is. Mouzon primitive And he did the same with all the others too, like Danny Trifert the bassist who was with Buzzy Linhart and some others (damn I can't remember any more), and Al Mouzon the drummer who's so fuckin' strong and primitive, loud and powerful like a Frazier hook and what drive, coming from the original Weather Report, then McCoy Turner, but this is where he belongs. in a Larry Coryell rock band where he can hit hard and mean and sort of kick everyone in the pants to give them a boost, sort of a common man’s substitute for spiritual inspiration, and that's important because if there's one thing about Coryell that sets him apart from the other geniuses of our time, it's his commonness. No godliness guru divinity bullshit, even though it's not bullshit by any means, but he chose his own direction, to be what he is and nothing more. He's just a normal guy with everyday headaches and his view set on the ground, and he suffers from the same maladies headwise as every other neurotic asshole on the planet that doesn't know any better, and that's what makes him so different because he doesn't have flash, stars, or great sex appeal, like being "too Jewish," though that doesn't really have anything to do with it and I don't know if he's Jewish anyway, religion plays no part in his life as his belief is limited to self-discipline only, which is the sole true religion to ever have existed if you think about it. Even on those terms he is not the most religious man in the world, but as he has turned thirty he has decided to get there, and the first sing has been a change of attitude, as opposed to former times not so long ago when he showed up for gigs in no condition to play, now and forevermore he is determined to make a fresh start. His playing has improved to a point where he's satisfied and proud of it, and now he's got the band, only a month and a half old, and they played a dynamite set of tight, not overlong, fascinating tunes. Randy Brecker's playing has a lot to do with the freshness of the group as compared to previous Coryell ventures. Randy, as Coryell announced for our benefit, was an original member of Blood Sweat & Tears when A1 Kooper was everybody's favorite FM star, playing a bop-tinged trumpet responsible for the jazz tn-the groat jazz rock fusion. Nowadays he's getting hip to 73 and tlie use of electrichy in Page ten The Spectrum Friday, 19 October 1973 . . music, and has a pretty fancy hookup to his horn, making it sound like something else a lot better and more in the context of what's going on in the band, so he blends and feels the total sound, giving it the added depth vital to its subsistence and he's not a bad player either, by the way. In the past he's played with Horace Silver, and he even performed with Horace Anold at a free concert two summers ago in a park in the Bronx for voter registration (the year of the big Dick), though the outcome of the election should not reflect on his playing, he's really good. Coryell feedback Of course, only Miles is playing an electric trumpet, in fact, an electric anything besides guitar and piano. In other words, he's the only electric horn to ever have existed and in so doing, alone embodies the future (Eddie Harris' baritone is still just a sax with an added device). Coryell, meanwhile, experimented with the guitar and gained a reputation for being far out with his feedback, etc. in the wake of Hendrix, who he believes to be the greatest natural musician he's ever known, but surprisingly he used no feedback and only a minimum of effects last Friday night. He played it straight, and after having absorbed McLaughlin (bombarded would be more like it), his down-to-earth method was fascinating as he covered the entire range of the guitar technically and emotionally, he did everything and still came up with new ideas, like he kept pushing back the limitations of the instrument without breaking and going for effect, but solid. The music was a bundle of energy, especially on a song called "Nien," which was casually coincidentally an exact replica of 'The Noonward Race" with a circle at the end where they all trade riffs like taking fours shorter and shorter until bam! to the head and out. Somehow they managed to keep their feet on the ground, and the earth being as diverse as it is, interest never waned. The lone standout was a piece consisting of a Hagstrom Swede guitar solo called "Gratitude," which was 10%' planned and 90% improvised, and in which everything described before was happening. Even more amazing was the fact that the E-string was viciously out of tune since he had just broken it a few minutes before and new strings are always out of tune in the worst way, so in the midst of the most complex runs suddenly he would reach over and twist that damn tuning peg and then be back at it with no break in the continuity, and this happened so many times I thought it was part of the song, which gave way to a couple of dancin' tunes. They have an advantage in having three excellent writers in the band in Coryell, Mandel, and Al Mouzon who wrote two at least, including "Funky Waltz,” which obviously was a funky waltz, and there were other songs that evoked an Arabian atmosphere, and for a brief moment Mouzon was doing the tom toms in an even count and Mandel came in on the moog set for a percussive effect like space cl ick-clock-bicka-boka, click-clock-bicka-boka, yeah, it was rhythmic and mystical.

Return to Forever Chick Corea and Return To Forever, though, is a different story. They are also into the best time of their lives, but as a rock band they haven't gotten it completely together yet. Basics, like the all-important sound system, are at the beginning stages, and Clark Gym is no place to show up with inadequate foundations. The sound was terrible. Nothing was clear, there was no separation, just a big inaudible muddle. The acoustics of the room (crater) are the world's worst anyway, and with the general inefficiency of KRC, who for some reason could not get the monitors to work right, resulting in none of the musicians being able to hear each other, things were pretty difficult. Coryell's sound, though far from perfect, was still good enough, but Chick suffered, with soundmen constantly running around trying to fix something that wouldn't get right all night. The effect on the music w i guitarist Billy Connors, who solo was so frustrated that I and came smashing down jut in the playoffs against th» Philadelphia won 69 games 01 bad call was made.

All "Mother Ship," written I I Lennie White who's only 2i years back he was playing opened the song with a sol something very meaningful solos don't, culminating in snare with sudden one shot becoming more frequent ai never quite giving it away, could play football like that. It might be interesting years ago he and Stanley Cl< in Joe Henderson's band, football either, and has ten should surprise you if you perform, ole rubber fingers. He's got to be the fastest (except when 'Bee bumbles), and while speed isn't everything in this world of increased animation, he excels at everything else about the bass, too. Flawless technique. Insurmountable inspiration. Startling creativity. Full sound. Boundless enthusiasm. He's the goddamn Hendrix of the bass, just you wait and see. His solos were incredible, bass players of the audience left shaking their heads, horn players were laughing, and peasant listeners enjoyed it immensely. He's absolutely free. As a songwriter he rates also, with "After The Cosmic Rain" (as with Chick, he's heavy into Scientology), which produced a high in Bill Connors' solo, before he got completely bummed out by the monitors. Low in echo chamber Connors has to be compared to McLaughlin (an unfair comparison since by no means is he a McLaughlin), as there is great similarity in tone avove all, and the styles are similar. The main difference is that he can bend a note and McLaughlin, who is not American, can't (Clapton is the only one who can), and his solo was powerful and inspiring. And he's so young. And Stan Clarke's only 22, these guys are a bunch of genius kids under the guidance of Papa Corea, genius himself on the piano, playing with crystal clarity in a very proper mode, classic technique with hands upright, wrists bent, rhythmically as precise as a diamond cutter, and the tunes he wrote for the band are all based on that precision, especially "Hymn of The Seventh Galaxy." So it was a pity that the sound was so bad as to minimize the effect of sharp syncopations, meant to come out as crisp attacks but actually closer to a cow in an echo chamber, and still it worked for most people because they largely dug the whole thing. I had a lot of trouble hearing the little things Chick does when comping and a great opportunity was missed when they did "Sometime Ago," which features solos by each member of the group, beginning with Chick, who usually opens with a slow piano tapestry that basically traces the history of the world in all its colorful phases, but I guess he was a little bothered by the poor set-up and didn't explore too much in his very brief intro, then into a rhythmic semi-head, down again for Bill Connors on acoustic (Ovation) guitar, but he couldn't get it together under the conditions and couldn't get enough volume to balance the drums, so he passed to Stanley who held the royal flush, doing it all including "Jailhouse Rock" for a second gospel bass? then drum solo go semi-head, real head, "A Love Supreme" (instantaneous), real head again, now really — — — — up-tempo and swinging, rocking, and Chick Corea was playing out-and-out rock music and digging it, because every time he flicks on the light electricity flows and it's there for the taking, so everyone should learn from Miles who ain't ashamed and Sonny Sharrock who has more to lose but he ain't compromising his art either, so get hip to the age. Chick Corea's getting hip but has a ways to go. He still hasn’t adapted to the context he's creating, and as a result there are some extremely bad moments, as if the plug is pulled for a short time and all the pressure escapes, like there are gaping holes sometimes as if they need another voice or something, but all that will change in time because the four of them have collective and individual genius and are young, willing and able as they say, and for every bad moment there are twenty good ones, so they'll get there, as they really did say, and you might want to be there when they do. Their set last Friday wasn't by any means bad, in fact it was quite good, and it was encouraging especially in terms of audience response, which Coryell took to be a very good sign, and on that is based a large amount of optimism about the band, the music, and his life. Last Friday night in Clark Gym was the beginning of what many people hope to be a future of positive circumstance. II and Corea hit Clark Friday, 19 October 1973 The Spectrum Page eleven . . v �II Our Weekly Reader An Exaltation of Stars: Transcendental Adventures in Science Fiction Compiled and Edited by Tarry Carr (Simon and Shuster, N.Y., 1973) Religion is science fiction. Any disillusioned person will tell you that. Science fiction just happens to be a good catch-all word to express all that is inhuman and therefore irrelevant to mankind. It takes a little strength and the memories of the great books of the utopias to read a book on science fiction and religion. But religion is science fiction in that it attempts to utilize logical methods to theorize about the future. Both of them ask one primary question Why? More and more writers are beginning to ask this question, giving up the pretense that they know all, and their literature finds a safe nest in the realm of religious speculation. Terry Carr is an editor eager to put his name to any new trends. He asked many writers to toss about the idea of "blending science fiction with transcendental expedience." This use of a theme supplied by an editor is a peculiar form of literature that rightly finds its way to the science fiction author. It is a process that underlines the possibility that the writing may not necessarily reflect the views of the author. Primarily designed for magazine format, short science fiction may be limited to the scope of a certain issue, so this seemingly parasitic form of writing may enable some semblance of coherence. Making a red-faced editor happy may also give an author a feeling of satisfaction, so that he'll go off and write what he wanted to write about in the first place before the editor opened his mouth. So much for the editor. The authors represented in this book are Robert Silverberg, Edgar Pangborn, and Roger Zelanzy. Their stories are not especially unique, nor are they better versions of old ideas. Instead, they pick up a relatively new idea, grind it up and swallow it so that it seems no more unique than any other idea, and is as quickly assimilated. No profound cultural aspects shall be stirred up, no new religious sects shall go off to grok the world after reading the three stories. Only a few thoughts shall arise, and among those hopefully will be questions. Time is spanned from the present to a future in which life has digressed after the nuclear powers of men have made their mark, and continue to, in the many mutant births. The religions of man and the religions of the dolphin are considered respectively and both are viewed through remarkably human frames. Given such a wide theme upon which to write, and hitting such creative minds, one would have expected a more alien view. Extra-terrestrial friars would seem just the type of people upon which a science fiction writer would love to elaborate. But the stars do not appear to be touched by exaltation. They do not even appear to be noticed. Is man too uncertain of his own position among the gods to write about the stars? The authors are too busy trying to pull logic out of human Unbelievable similarities experience. abound in the stories, including the saints and songs chosen to be discussed. Man is constantly searching for places to drown himself, to immerse himself in life and so, in Whitmanian style, become life. A sense of something having gone wrong in humanity pervades the entire book, and in a story of something so familiar as the canonization of a saint, there is the final realization that the wrong person was named. In Silverberg's The Feast of St. Dionysus, man does touch the Martian soil, but it is man and the soil becomes man's territory, an incorporated food. The element of transcendental seems to be no more than the feelings of guilt which plague the only surviving member of a NASA Martian landing team. Compare this view with V. Zelanzy's KJWALL'KJE’K 'KOOYHA ILL 'KJE'K, however, and one is ready to believe that the Dionysus story was an outspoken ' religious statement. In this story, dolphins are said to possess religion (and one may ponder this), but the question as to the meaning of the title will generally take over and lead the mind on a very narrow track. Dolphin prayer proves to be play, and their religion a continual dreamsong, reminding one of the medieval theory of the “music of the spheres." Now we can speak about the Pangborn story My Brother Leopold. To compare it with the other two would create a mass of charts and diagrams so interwoven at to make it Worthless. Suffice it to say that this is the story of the canonization, written with a subtlety that the others lacked, and written by an author who is considered more of a fantasist than a science fiction ist. The little bit of fairy tale that does slip out is welcomed, as are the parables of the Bible among its harder preachings. John Brunner, author of Stand on Zanzibar and The Sheep Look Up, has expressed the belief (and hope) that religion will become an important factor in the future of man and that it will become noticeable in literature. Of the many writers who have spoken on the subject of survival, his theory is unique, for he professed religion to be a possible solution to the three basic crises of man's future: overpopulation, pollution, and nuclear self-destruction. While not supplying any outlines for religion to follow to meet these demands, he was aware of some power in religion itself. A transcendental, personal power, perhaps, but nonetheless existent. The Pangborn story implies having dealt with the last of the three crises, that of war, and religion is a great force in the post-war culture. Whether it had any sway during the war is impossible to prove, but the Brunner theory as to the trend of literature does seem to hold true. One's first reaction could be: "Why religion in science fiction?" Where else could speculation about the gods reach the dolphin-reading public as equals? - L inda Michaels TIME Magazine reports: “Gallo’s Pink Chablis PINK CHABUS OF CALIFORNIA Mon than a Rosi, our Pink Chablis is a caplmhn/ m combining the delicate fragrance of a superior Host ed the crisp character of a fine Chablis.

Few Hollywood producers have ever doubted that homely little bit of philosophy. Though admittedly not the most philosophical of people, they do know what sells, and Elliott Kastner has just become the latest to hit the romantic jackpot. Jeremy, billed as "a different kind of love story,'' is undoubtedly attracting lines and lines of the same people who saw the original (?) Love Story six times and still cried the sixth time Oliver watched Jenny die. After all, it's not that different. As a matter of fact the only clearly discernible variance involves the adolescent frame of reference (already used, although less believably, in Friends). Otherwise, Jeremy Jones is not nearly the all-American culture hero Oliver Barrett represented; Susan Rollins is much less tragic and, thankfully, less sarcastic than Jennifer Cavilleri; but the basic boy- meet-girl-, boy-makes-love-to-girl, boy-loses-girl theme, which certainly predates the invention of the moving picture by several centuries, lives on intact. * With a tong in hit heart Jeremy is 16 years old, a sophomore at Bronx Music and Art high school, who loves race horses, basketball, and his cello. Music, at least until he meets Susan, is his ruling passion later on he tells her that "music is the only time I feel like I'm me" and most of the film's best scenes show him performing or rehearsing with his cello teacher. His life and personality unfold in a series of short scenes. We see him buying his daily racing form before school (he always picks a winner but never bets; the store owner is convinced that he's crazy), reading poetry to the dogs while walking through Central Park each Saturday, and so forth. A representative confrontation with his father, obviously meant to speak volumes about parent-teenager relationships in the Age of Aquarius, wins this year's award for Best Characterization of an Adult in a Youth-Oriented Film., Dad walks into Jeremy's bedroom and berates him for doing "You'll never succeed in anything if homework with the radio on you insist on doing two things at once," etc., etc. Jeremy replies that he gets straight A's in practically everything, to which his father retorts "That's beside the pointl" and stomps out of the room. - — — Chalk mark Things go on like this until Jeremy, sent by a teacher to look for chalk, sees the girl of his dreams practicing ballet positions in the storeroom. Sickened by a love which must remain unrequited at least until he learns her name, he manages to follow her all over the city without getting up enough courage to speak to her, until his less-inhibited friend Ralphie finally does it for him in the school cafeteria. Amazingly, she wants Jeremy to call her, and the ego boost of a successful solo in a school concert makes him just reckless enough to IONITE! eventually do it. They turn out, naturally, to be perfect for each other. He already loves her, and by finally gaining the ability to show himself, instead of hopelessly trying to be the stud Ralphie expects him to be, Jeremy blunders his way into Susan's heart. (There's a moral there somewhere.) Three weeks and four days after their first date, they make love under the horse portraits on Jeremy's wall. It is their first and last time; Susan returns home to hear that her father has been transferred back to Detroit. Two days later, they part at the airport tearfully and apparently permanently a symbolic "death" which, for some unexplained reason, is made to seem as final as Jenny Cavilleri's real one and Jeremy is left to caress his cello once again. - — Starry-eyed stars Robby Benson and Glynnis O'Connor are disarmingly innocent, frank and sweet in the leading roles, which is just about all that was expected of them. They are quite attractive and appealing, but they can't quite manage to transcend writer-director Arthur Barron's conception of their characters as victims of the adult meanies who rule the world. The fault seems to be his, though, rather than either of theirs; films with this anti-everybody-over-thirty bias tend to have a certain built-in offensiveness, and to the actors' credit, neither of them seems particularly well aware of this. Of the other actors, only Leonardo Cimino, as Jeremy's cello teacher, deserves mention. As virtually the only sympathetic adult of any real importance (and thus the only one allowed to develop at all in the film), he retains his composure admirably through platitudes like "Music is harsh. Art is harsh," and emerges unscathed. The Rolling Stones Symbol crash Director Barron has other problems besides his prejudice His big having Jeremy skip across the roofs of a line of parked cars after having made love to Susan (literally on top of the world, automotive and otherwise), only to almost be killed by one after hearing of her impending move to Detroit the following afternoon is as blatant and unsubtle as most of the rest of the film. Barron has his good moments too, though. A scene in which Jeremy anxiously waits for Susan to leave her apartment in the morning and then runs all the way around the block so that he can appear to bump into her casualty was very well done (and brought back all kinds of slightly embarassing memories). The opening scene, in which photographer Paul Goldsmith focuses on the street outside over the top of Jeremy's cello and then lets his camera wander lazily around the room, resting finally on the face of our awakening hero as if to sum up all the isolated impressions we have just received, is also excellent. Jeremy is a nice, quiet, little film nothing special, not a large-scale tearjerker, maybe just a good little tear or two. If you like this sort of thing, it just might make you feel good, and for all its flaws, that alone could make it worthwhile. attempt at cinematic symbolism GIMME SHELTER — — SPECIAL FRIDAY — UNION BOARD T— Sat.

Here I am, a music critic for the Rectum for over two years, and never getting one '77/ bomb your house" letter. A good music critic has to get a good hate letter every so often. If he doesn’t, he's just not being critical enough. I'm fuckin' jealous of Joe I really am. Hey, do you people see the expression on the old man's face on the cover of Van Morrison's new album Hard Nose The Highway ? Well, that peasant is in pain. Ya see, he knows what's inside the album cover P-A-l-N and he doesn't like it one bit. I bet ya he’s saying to himself, “How come they didn't use me for the Stones' new Ip?" I kinda think that Van Morrison really doesn't know what's cornin' off on his new Ip. Catch this. One of the songs on the album is called "The Great Deception." In it he talks about the "plastic revolutionaries taking the money and running," the drag scenes in all the Big Apples in the country, how the “so-called hippies take the eyeballs straight out of your head and ask if you want your eyeballs bacK and ah actor ending up on the "Bow'ry." I know it's one big cliche so far, but then Van — . -Sheldon Kamieniecki — Brownsville Station Yeah (Big Tree Records) And still another band catches onto the Lou Reed concept, we've already had Mitch Ryder and Detroit doin' Well, I have just got to tell you. Take the sun from the sky and if you fill the hole with toothpaste don't expect anything but your teeth to shine. Well, I'll tell you again. There's a space between words and notes left for you to smile and be found. Look immediately at the next paragraph. This is SHOOT'S first album. They have neve, been seen, heard, or plagerized outside of a London studio. I am the only reviewer in North America writing about their album. What I say goes. I'll tell you again. Ted Mack and Bill Graham call me each week. They both want talent reports. It can be the top or the bottom for SHOOT. What I say goes. I've already gotten in touch with ALBRIGHT-KNQX. The guy who drew the album cover deserves it. Looks like Napolean Lajoie in the off-season. With a moustache. And a gun. Peter Max once drew a cartoon of me in a Diefendorf bathroom. Now he decorates Kellogg corn flakes. He learned. Remember Crosby, Stills, Nash, and Young? I got tired of them. They broke up. I got tired of riots and war. got tired of moon walks, hoola-hoops, and Robert Kennedy. I got tired of feeling bad and I'm getting tired of Lou's "Rock 'n Roll." They outshined Master Reed on the stun-magic of ace-axeoid Steve Hunter. Now, Hunter's completed the cycle and is working on Lou's up an coming Berlin album, already being exclaimed as the Sgt. Pepper of the Seventies. He's also going out on tour with Louis; hmm, interesting possibilities, let the good times roll and all that. Then, we had Mott’s version of "Sweet Jane" which they did with lacey beauty and sublime quiet. - — " I sings: ‘Did you ever hear about the rock and roll singers Got three or four Cadillacs Saying power to the people, dance to the music Wants to pat him on the back. Kinda wants to make you vomit, doesn't it? Come on, Van the Man; you're the Greatest Deception! Yea, you're not a rocker, I almost forgot, but a lollypop folk singer. You don't count here. You're just an AM jock on Warner Sisters. I find the music on the album to be mellow and relaxing. Oh, excuse me while I take a ten-minute nap (snoooooze) on "Autumn Song." On that cut Van chooses to repeat, quite methodically, a few plucks on the bass, a couple of chords on the piano and a couple of swishes of the brush on the snare. Can you imagine listening to sprinklings of musical glitter. Now we've got the improbable Brownsville Station doin' Lou’s "Sweet Jane" on this their latest release "Yeah." That's okay, but it's just a homage tune. The meat of the beat gets underway when Cub Koda the last of the great rock 'n roll names Michael Lutz these guys get uglier and uglier and Henry 'H-Bomb' Week — — —continued from outrageous: "Television man is crazy, we're juvenile delinquent wrecks who needs TV when got T. says / long way docks to up the down the All the way to Memphis." And the music. Rock and roll used to make you move your feet, but now you are a star. Now you perform when you dance and you dig it. And then you're really getting into and you're the best and Mott comes on: "You're just a rock and roll Page fourteen The Spectrum Friday, 19 October 1973 . . — page 5— <■*> / holds. — — 'Tm just watching the world going by, and don't even have to try, I'm just hanging around" But listen to Mott.

I took the plane ride but can't stand palaces. Went to Abbey Road Studios. Four cats were there imitating the Beatles. "You cats wanna make some money?" Sure they did. We set up a printing press in the basement. I started giving them some good influence. I put on Deja Vu. There's no money in talking like Ringo Starr. They sang alright but four of them played drums. I took the worst one aside. I asked him his name. It was so long he couldn't pronounce it. Make it McCarty, I said. Maybe we'll fool a few people. He had skinny legs. Now he plays piano and wears baggy pants. IMAGE. And Deja Vu. They still had problems but I liked them.

They were called back for more and they shook hands at the end. They were inspiring, good rock and roll. Incredible words and meaning and phenomenal effect. They developed into stjipi since they started out long ago, and it's a pleasure to know that they think enough of the trade to do it up right.

They play rock music now and McCarty tuned his piano to sound like Neil Young. I'm a little worried. I heard a dishwasher that sounded like Neil Young last week. This week Neil Young sounds different. But they boys learned. Put some horns on the album whenever the dishwasher got too loud. They listed someone as playing pedal-steel and dobro. Sounds like a couple of extinct birds to me. But they're foreigners so they'll need that country music shading. I wrote the lyrics on the album. The Coca-Cola company payed mr $500,000. Why? You gotta listen carefully. Once on each song the word Coca-Cola is said. Softly. In two-part harmony. You get thirsty listening. And then you buy our soda. I've been told Brezhnev put up some of the 500 grand. It makes sense. Some of the coins don't fit in the vending machines. But I’m sending the boys on a Russian tour next fall. Leonid will love 'em.

So he hooked on to the biggest name he could find, Kate Taylor, and wrote his best songs in the steam of his breath on the window. He wiped away the frost for the last time, he told himself, and barely had time to look out the window when Kate screamed WATCH OUT! Leland, the bass player, was sitting across the aisle. He'd been with more shit bands than Suitcase Simpson, so named 'cause he never had time to unpack his bags before he was on the road again. This was flte start, Leland told himself, thinking of the recording date the next day with Kate, as he was flung from his sfeat as the bus began a violent brake. The lights from the car smashing into the front of the bus blinded Russ like the first time he stood on a stage eleven years old and he already knew he was going to be a drummer and when he knew it he had stopped getting better and settled for making a living and thought of dying for the first time as his practice sticks tumbled thru the crack in the twisted floor of the bus. Craig was sleeping as usual, so usual that he could start to trip over a curb and be asleep before he hit the ground. With the group's equipment already shipped ahead to the studio, he was awake for the short time it takes to be — Content Where birds of faith fly diseways and hope is heaven sent" The concept also gives Kenny Young license to throw in all kinds of gimmicky musical nonsense, like Moog frizzles and zorps and wind tunnel echo, because it's THE FUTURE! (Oh, and I thought all that echo on his voice was because it's too weak to stand alone.) Insight time. Kenny Young wrote "Under the Boardwalk. It's on the album, slipped in cleverly as a "nostalgia packet." It starts out with the original Drifters' version and in the middle of the song, there's a very messy fade-out fade-in to a new treatment via Kenny Young. They should have left it the way it was. Aha, you say, but "Under the Boardwalk" is a classic. I agree. More insight. Kenny Young also wrote "Arizona" (remember that Mark Lindsay gem?). That's about the shape of the music on this record. Catchy, catchy, catchy. He takes one or two catchy phrases and builds his songs around them. Like Amanda's love song to Teyo, the Indian, where the chorus goes "Teyo-ho-ho-ho-ho" (eyech!) There is one good song (other than "Under the Boardwalk"). It's called "Light to Light." It's simpler than the rest, maybe because they realized it could stand by itself. Just a simple lyrical tune. And the words could almost be applied to anyone growing up. Throughout the record, there are some really good snatches of music. However, this is mainly due to his illustrious back-up bands. On "Solitary Sing Song," for example, there's an instrumental opening with a great horn part. But considering that the horn section is Jim Horn, Bobby Keyes and Jim Price, how could it be otherwise? I also want to give credit to Chris Gunning, who every now and then came up with some realty original string arrangements. Also Susan Traynor, who sings Amanda in the song 'Teyo- Starlight Scorpio" she's got a beautiful voice and uses it well (too bad her voice is almost drowned beneath the rest of the song's music). And, of course, Russ Kunkel, Leland Sklar, Louis Shelton and the rest of the back-up people give their usual above par performances. But the material just isn't there, and no amount of talent behind it can make up for that. Oh yes. There's also a few paragraphs on the pink sheet/poster with the lyrics (this is in addition to the little white sheet jeez, they had a lot to say about this album), written by Derek Taylor. The function of this little essay is to explain how RELEVANT this disc is (heavy, heavy) and if you don't understand it, you must be well, it's the Emperor's new clothes story. Here's a taste. "A long time ago ahead, this album was and will be about Us and Them as we see them not only now but then not and only just as Us and Them for who are We and who are thrust from a lying position and knocked cold as his head smashed against the next seat the short time it took him to see glass and steel mixing in the air and lose the memory of Kate's scream, but he was already unconscious when the bus came to a halt on top of the two maimed bodies in the wrecked car. Danny scrambled to the front of the bus. The driver kept mumbling something about standing behind the white line, which he had tried to tell Kate not to do, and she paid for her inattention by having her skull cracked on the big windshield. Danny was bent over her body, so upset he was thinking of searching her clothes for money, necromania, and how they wouldn't be recording tomorrow. All in shock: the driver could do nothing except keep tightening his seat belt, Leland kept counting his fingers, Craig cried outside the bus and Russ beat his hands in rhythm to the police sirens and ambulance doors shut sharply to keep out the rain. They all rode to the hospital, and while the cops called up James to tell him of Kate's death, the four — musicians talked in hospital tones. Leland was the first to bring up the idea of making the recording date "'cause we all don't have to die from this, the equipment's there already, that's our future." "But right after Kate died? I mean it was her date, we don't have our own songs and who feels like playing?" It's not important who sa'd that 'cause none of them believed it, and they sent a funeral — -Jeff Benson Last Stage For Silverworld, Kenny Young (Warner Bros.) When I opened up Last Stage For Silverworld, I was greeted by a little sheet. The sheet told me that Last Stage For Silverworld, Kenny Young's second album, brings new depth to that often-abused form, the concept album. It two also explained to me in E-Z terms the concept Teyo. and Amanda futuristic star-crossed lovers, Amanda lives in Silverworld (there are no more colors, get it?), daughter of a Blue Man (the Blue Men run the show). Teyo is the Navajo (ho-ho) of the forest (the forest still has colors). The love of Amanda and Teyo "catalyzes the gentle forest dwellers" into leading a revolt against the — oh, excuse me Blue Meanies Blue Men, and the earth gets a new start. There is a very good reason for this little sheet. Without it, the album would be utterly unintelligible. So when they say this album brings new depths to the concept album, they couldn't be further from the truth. If it really worked, you wouldn't need any little-sheets. Did Tommy need an explanation? Did Observations from the Court of the Crimson King need an explanation? (Ed. Note; No way!!) So with a queasy feeling in the pit of your stomach, you put the needle down. What do you get? Lipsmackin' uuuuuhhhh whipcrackin'pattywhackin' CRACKERJACKS! see Amand DA in a silverworld Sending vibes and superflashes ..." (and the colored girls sing "oh ah huh”) The first problem. Unfortunately, Mr. Young's voice has a liking to that of Bobby Goldsboro. Second problem. This concept is nothing but an excuse to write lyrics with cute little phrases that we are told are RELEVANT to today's world (so is my big toe), but mean nothing to me. For instance, "You go to Solitary Sing Song: (like Sing Sing, huh?) Every time your mind goes wrong ..." — — — — They? We are not united as We would wish nor could be and They are well divided as They well Know or They would certainly be one of Us."

He had been in this position once too often; riding a midnight special from one nameless small town to another, giving concerts . candygram to James and rented a car to drive away. Giving Danny enough time to write out some arrangements at the studio. Russ and Leland wasted time by recording solos, but they had all underestimated the effects of Kate's death on their psyches and the engineers were itching to go home, so the four of them started playing between indecision. Like pennant fever in Philadelphia. Or Henry Cabot Lodge's birthplace. When they turned the record over to start recording the second side, Leland was ready to call it quits and steal the car they rented. But Craig did his imitation of Kate singing and Leland cracked up with laughter, 'cause he knew he really didn't give a shit and turned up his volume control and Danny responded with a howl and notes popping like electric eyelids, Craig's moog went off on its own so he sat with Russ to keep things moving, and the sound built and swirled over Leland's smile at no longer being a back-up musician to Russ banging up front 'cause this was the future after a day in the studio to all get going for notes and sounds they didn't hear of the engineers shutting off the monitors and letting them play their best music after the record was over. -Jeff Benson ''w- Friday, 19 October 1973 The Spectrum Page fifteen . . �Philharmonic Fantastic orchestra season is expected October 20th marks the opening of the 1973-74 season of the Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra. Dazzling is the only word to describe the program they have planned. On opening night you will be able to hear Richard Strauss’ tone poem Also Sprach Zarathrustra, part of which is currently known as the theme from 2001: A Space Odessey. Also on the program is Ravel’s La Valse a grotesque waltz which goes out of control like a baby carriage going down hill. Beethoven's Consecration of the House Overture and Saint-Saens' Septet complete the lineup. This season is organized into two sets of concerts. One set is the Criterion Series which will feature performances of established works. Alternating with the concerts of that series are those of the Kaleidoscope Series. Daring new works, little known old works, and a taste of the classics make up this set. Each Kaleidoscope concert is preceeded by a one-half hour recital-lecture-demonstration given by the conductor or guest soloist. There are two performances of every concert; on Saturday night and Sunday afternoon or Sunday afternoon and Tuesday evening. Music Director Michael Tilson Thomas has introduced a trio of Music-Image concerts this year. They are multi-media presentations in the Kaleidoscope Series which will involve simultaneous aural and visual effects. Featured are some interesting new works. In recent times the Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra (BPO) has been building a fine reputation for performing new music. Lukas Fpss, a proponent of contemporary music, was the director here several years ago. Under Foss' baton the BPO recorded several new works including his own composition Orpheus. Recently, Maestro Thomas signed a recording contract with Columbia Records so there is now a possibility of the BPO recording with him. Combining the sweet innocence of the social well, let's not go into all that verbal sen-sen. The meat of the matter is that despite the unkind, unwarranted cutting comments of the press. Karen and have Carpenter Richard accomplished what they set out to accomplish they wanted to be superstars, awwreet, rock on Karen once said that the only thing she wanted out of life was to ride down the main street of her hometown in a Cadillac or something materialistic like that who knows if she's done it or not, but her attitude is certainly healthy.

This festival specializes in presenting new works. Modern works chosen for performance by the Philharmonic this year include Trans by Stockhausen, Berio's Recital, Orpheus by Foss, and Bedford's For 100 Kazoos with Orchestra and Audience. That last one should be a showstopper and you need only show up to be a part of it. Please don't get the idea that the BPO plays only new music. Their wealth of fine players gives them a sound full enough to do justice to the classics as well. Scheduled for Criterion concerts this season are Brahms' Fourth Symphony and Second Piano Concerto, Beethoven's Pastorale Symphony and J.S. Bach’s Brandenburg Concerto No. 3. Andre Watts will perform Tchaikovsky's Piano Concerto No. 1 in all-Tchaikovsky prograrhln November. Next spring the Philharmonic an will perform under guest conductor Aaron Copland, one of America's finest living composers. Information regarding specific dates is available at the Norton Ticket Office or at the Philharmonic Office (885-5000). This year, the Philharmonic is having financial problems (what orchestra doesn't). In part, the Crisis facing BPO is due to the fact that they are community oriented. During the summer, they played many free concerts throughout Western New York. Ticket prices have always been kept down; this year they range from $3 to $7.50 for each concert. Students can purchase season tickets (for sixteen concerts) for as little as $36. Individual tickets can be obtained at the Norton Ticket Office or at Kleinhans Music Hall. If you're looking for an exciting way to spend an afternoon or evening you ought to take in a concert. Diversity is one of the biggest assets of this season's programming. Whether you like Mahler or Mozart, Prokofiev or Paganini, the Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra has something for you. Even if you don't know what you like, this season you just can't go wrong. And you might get turned on to a whole new world of sound. If you've been there before, you khow what I mean.

With inflation running rampant and the costs for food, lodging, travel and equipment increasing at a rapid rate, the Student Association is feeling the pinch each year to find the money to fund an athletic program. For the past three years, the Athletic Department has asked for an increased allocation of student funds; a response met with a decrease in the amount of our allocation each year. In the advent of our basketball team entering into Division I, a step that should provide us with prestige and a chance for athletes to prove themselves in worthy competition, and the fact that scheduling contracts are made two years in advance, leaves the students of this University with a problem. We must make a decision now on what type of Inter-collegiate Athletic program we want at this school and the funding and guidelines we are willing to commit ourselves to support such a program. The prospects for finding the necessary funds indeed look grim; however, the future of the program is nevertheless in our hands. . Michael Phillips Member Student Assembly Quote from Egypt To the Editor. To those who in their naivity believe the phoney Arab line about liberating their land and not being anti-Jew but only anti-Zionist, 1 offer a quote from Al Akhbar, an Egyptian newspaper: “Hitler was right, for the Jews are vampires who suck the blood of humanity. They were burned in the ovens of Hitler one million, two million, six million. Would that he had accomplished it fully.” On the holiest of days Yom Kipper (October 6, 1973) Arab armies attacked the state of Israel, - — — A Jew Israel ignored? To the Editor In the six years now I have been reading The Spectrum, I have never been so appalled as I was at Friday’s front page. On a day when hundreds of people on both sides are dying in a war in the Middle East, all 1 see on the cover of you t phoney “liberal” paper is the Rolling Stones! Close to 1500 students got together Tuesday night in the Fillmore Room with nothing to draw them except two words: emergency and Israel. They responded with their hearts, with their souls and with over $2600 to buy blood, to rebuild destroyed kibbutzim, and to settle recently escaped Russian Jews. And not a word from The Spectrum ! Today, as 1 write this, it is Monday, and we have just gone over the $6000 mark in cash in a tremendous outpouring on the part of the students on this campus. You can continue to ignore us, but we know: Ahm Yisrael Chai! Ira Sheskin suffer everything that prisoners suffer in America, perhaps more. Agnew, after all, did not have racism, dope addiction, or despair to excuse his rotten acts. He filthied an entire country. He helped mortally wound the fabric of America. He helped ruin basic democratic institutions, which depend for their very existence on an act of faith between the people and the leaders they have chosen. For these crimes, Agnew should have lain rotting in a place like the Tombs, while his wife and kids waited with the others, outside in the rain. He should have been called by a number, or had the screws give his cell a midnight toss. He should have heard the junkies screaming through the night. He should have spent the years wondering where the people he loved had gone, and what it was like to walk down a city street, or run in the surf on a beach. He should have done time like other felons. But no: Agnew will play golf. He will keep the house he furnished with criminal money. He will write his memoirs. He will make speeches about the conspiracy against him. He will protest his innocence, and describe his common act of plea bargaining as some ultimate act of patriotism. And Nixon himself will remain free. Nixon organized a private police force. He waged a secret war in Cambodia in defiance of the Congress. He is hiding tape recordings which are evidence in a criminal proceeding. He had burglars, extortionists, potential kidnapers on his payroll. Under his leadership, the White House sank into the deepest cesspool of corruption in this nation’s history And now he will pick a successor to Agnew. (c) 1973,New York Post Go down to the Tombs and start ripping out the bars. Go over to Atlantic Avenue and punch out the glass bricks of the Brooklyn jail. Set the bulldozers loose on Attica, crushing the walls, demolishing the guard towers, reducing all of it to twisted steel and powdered brick. Melt down all the machine guns on the walls. Burn all the uniforms of the guards. Let all the prisoners loose. There can be no prisons while Spiro Agnew is free. How can society send a kid from Fox St, to the joint while Agnew is walking the streets? What judge can sleep at night, knowing that he is sending young men away to years of steel and bars, while Agnew sleeps in silk sheets? The big Washington commentators are all talking about the “Agnew tragedy.” What about the Attica tragedy? What about the tragedy that occurs every day in the criminal courts of this town? What about the tragedy of America? Waste no pity on Agnew. He revealed himself in court. By copping a plea on income tax evasion charges, he in effect admitted that he took criminal money and didn’t pay taxes on it. Just like Al Capone And yet Elliot Richardson is talking about Agnew as if he were a respectable citizen who made a little mistake. He thinks that Agnews resignation, along with the three-year probation and the $10,000 fine, are sufficient disgrace. He sees no need for Agnew’s “confinement in a penal institution,” which is the way those people talk about going to the slam. But this is an outrage. Agnew has, in effect, admitted that he is a criminal bum. He was the Vice President of the United States a guy who marched up and down this land shouting about “law and order” And every month or so, the guys with the envelopes would come to his office with cash. He was on the take, knowing exactly what he was doing. He was committing felony after felony and they’ve let him walk. Until he walked into court the other day and copped his plea, it was possible to root for Agnew to fight it out, to not let himself be used by Richard Nixon as a diversion from Nixon’s own disgusting stewardship. But once he entered that nolo cohtendere plea, in effect admitting what he had done, Agnew should have faced the full majesty of justice. “If you can’t do the time, don’t do the crime.” And for the crimes Agnew was involved in, he should have died in prison. He should have had to ( � � » If the Democrats had any courage, they would make sure that Nixon cannot do that He cannot pick the 1976 Republican candidate for President. And he cannot pick a man of such demonstrated incompetence that his own impeachment would be impossible. The Congress should make a list of people from which Nixon would be allowed to choose one. And that man should be a Democrat. The Republicans, with their performance in the past five years, have for now lost any right to rule America. Meanwhile, the courts and parole boards of New York should begin functioning 24 hours a day. freeing all but the most insane killers, and those prisoners should be transferred to mental institutions. If Spiro Agnew is free, if Richard Nixon is still treated as a man of honor, nobody should be in jail anywhere. - Backpage lauded To the Editor A special relief fund is being raised for the wife and family of the late Dr. Basavangudi N.

Last Monday, the Student Association was presented with this year’s attempt, a proposal typed on blue stationery that was apparently written without much knowledge of the consequences of its approval. This “blue paper,” which was submitted to the SA by Sub Board I treasurer Jennifer Washburn, contains many proposals which would stifle, if not ruin, the intercollegiate program. One proposal embraced by the “blue paper” stated: “Under no circumstances will the Athletic Department contract mandatory fee money for goods or services unless a valid budget is in effect.” Obviously, Ms. Washburn and the other co-sponsors of the “blue paper” were ignorant of several facts. All varsity inter-collegiate events are contracted at least one year, and in most cases, several years in advance. Money must be contracted in advance if the inter-collegiate sports program is to continue at this school. It is both impractical and impossible to attempt to schedule games for an inter-collegiate season two or three months before the games are to be played unless the Bulls intend to open -their home basketball schedule against the Alcatraz All-Stars. The “blue paper” instructed the SA Executive Committee to take “appropriate legal action” if contracts are signed in advance of a budget approval. The only legal action to be taken would be against this University, if such contracts were made and not honored. The SA treasurer was instructed to curtail any program if it was not meeting its income level. Thus, the Bulls might have to drop hockey at mid-season if the attendance falls off. Lawsuits would then be the least of the problems Another point of the “blue paper” covered the allocation for food budgets concerning road games. The allocation, mandated by the State of New York as a maximum of $8.50 per day, was to be cut to $5 per day. In addition, team members were supposed to pay for the meals themselves, and then be reimbursed individually by the SA. Coaches, trainers and managers were not to be reimbursed for their food expenses. It is absurd to expect college students, in the process of completing an education, to advance money necessary for food for any extended road trip. It is equally absurd to exclude coaches, trainers and managers from this reimbursement, as the “blue paper” proposed. Perhaps one day the majority of students on his campus, who unquestionably support inter-collegiate sports, will be adequately represented in the Student Assembly to end these annual attempts to ruin the athletic program. Until then, we can be assured that foolish proposals such as this infamous “blue paper” will be made at least once annually.

If we do, a cheap hit, a couple of errors and we’re out of the ballgame. A lot of times errors happen when there are a lot of walks; the ball is hit to you and you’re not ready. We can’t walk we’ve got to throw the ballpark strikes consistently.” - Hitting below par Despite the fact that the Bull hitting was below the level of last spring’s squad, Monkarsh was optimistic when questioned about his team’s run-scoring potential. “We have the potential to be a good hitting team,” assessed Monkarsh. “I feel we have a different type of hitting team than we had last year. We won’t be able to have the big innings that we had. Well have to run more, bunt, hit and run, and put pressure on the other team to make the plays. We have to get men on base in order to put pressure on the other team.” two praised Monkarsh who comparative newcomers finished first and fifth respectively in the Bull hitting parade. “I feel that I have to say something about the job that Jim Mary (.531) and John Kidd (.378) did for us,” said Monkarsh. “Jim Mary gained confidence last year. He had an achilles tendon injury in high school, and it took him a couple of years to come back. John Kidd, 1 would say, is better than Mark Stanko [the ex-Bull a signed who rightfielder professional contract with the Cubs last spring] at a comparable time in their careers. He has the power to hit the long ball.” Kidd led the Bulls in extra-base hits with six. Veterans Gary Cox and Rich Magliazzo also were among the Bull leaders. Cox hit .400, while Magliazzo batted .327 despite a zero-for-ten start. A lack of infield depth might prove fatal to Buffalo’s spring chances. “I feel that our greatest weakness is a lack of depth in the infield,” reported Monkarsh. “If Gary Montour, Jim Marzo, Jim Lalayanis or Rich Magliazzo gets hurt, we are in trouble. 1 really feel that we can’t afford any injuries here. If one or two of our infielders get hurt, like two years ago, we don’t win a ballgame down south.” If the Bulls don’t win a ballgame down south, they probably won’t be going to the NCAA Tournament in May, either.

No. 24 Wednesday, 17 October 1973 S K —Olx Campus lots: No parking anytime , by Don Levine Staff Writer Spectrum The University’s parking situation is worse this year than ever before. While 28,000 parking permits were issued to faculty and students, the campus lots can only accommodate about 5000 cars at any given time. During the late morning hours, parking spaces are so scarce that people often come to campus much earlier than they normally would. One disgruntled student claimed that he makes sure he’s on campus by 9 am. to make sure he’ll be on time for his 10 o’clock class. The Student Association (SA) has been fighting for open parking, which would end the segregation of student and faculty cars and make all parking spots available on a first-come, first-served basis. The theory underlying this proposal, explained Student Rights coordinator Oiff Palefsky, is that “if students [or faculty] can’t find a spot and one is available, it should be able to be used, regardless of where the spot is.” Robert Hunt, director of Environmental Health and Safety, indicated that “open parking is good in theory,” but simply won’t work because there are so many more students than faculty. ‘There are many professors who don’t have to or can’t be on campus so early,” explained Mr. Hunt, “and their parking spaces would be filled.” Faculty vs. students Open parking was experimentally tried two years ago but was scrapped as a failure. ‘The open parking experiment of two years ago was discontinued not because it didn’t work, but because the faculty complained that they couldn’t get the prime spots that they were used to,” explained Mr. Palefsky. Last month, a Traffic Control advisory committee established to study the parking problem rejected a new open parking proposal by a vote of S-4. The four who supported open parking were students; the five in the majority were non-students. This alignment clearly demonstrates that faculty and student feelings on this issue are diametrically opposed. Afterthe open parking proposal was defeated, SA secured a promise from President Robert Ketter to at least enforce the present ruling, which requires that faculty park only in faculty lots and students only in student lots. Tickets are nbw being issued to drivers violating this ruling. However, SA feels students are still being discriminated against because faculty members are getting away with illegally parking in student lots. “We have everything to gain from strictness,” said Mr. Palefsky, “and as soon as the Student Rights Committee gets going, members will go out into the lots and call Security for enforcement.” Faculty Recently, some faculty began complaining about not being allowed to park in student lots. Both the Music and English departments were highly inconvenienced by the segregative parking and, as a result, attempted to transform Quarry Lot near the basketball courts from a student to a faculty lot. In a very close vote, the proposed switch was rejected 3-3-1 by the Traffic Committee with one graduate student abstaining. Many students contended that 'the faculty were only interested in alleviating their own inconvenience without regard for student parking problems. Mr. Hunt, trying to alleviate the parking pressures of dental patients and guests (which included faculty and staff overflow), sent a September 25 to director of Campus Security Pat Glennon which was not sent to the Traffic Committee for discussion. The memo suggested that the Main-Bailey (student) Lot be opened for this purpose. He claimed that “space [there] is usually available after 10 a.m.” However, many frustrated students have complained that the Main-Bailey Lot is packed all morning. Mr. Palcfsky, also a member of the Traffic Control Conun't. said that Mr. Hunt’s “suggestion to accommodate the overflow is totally inequitable and would render the entire [strict enforcement] policy unenforceable.” There was no reciprocating lot suggested to remedy the student overflow problem. Mr. Hunt, concerned with the constant rivalry between students and faculty, said we must “stop talking about vested interests and talk about what's best for the University.” Alternatives One suggested alternative to the parking crisis would be to utilize Rotary Field. Rotary Field is presently being used by the Bennett High School football team and for other non-University functions. When Mr. Hunt was asked if he would support a proposal to open Rotary Field for auxiliary parking, he replied: “No comment.” When asked if Rotary Field might remedy some of the campus parking pressure, Mr. Hunt replied: “I suppose it would be convenient for one or two students here or there.” Another parking suggestion was to build a parking ramp over existing parking lots. However this was declared unfeasible as it would cost approximately S3,000 per space. “Privilege Parking” is another alternative currently being studied. Privilege parking would give preference to thos campus-bound cars with four or more people in them. These cars would be assigned the most desirable parking spaces, creating an incentive toward forming car pools and hopefully alleviating some of the auto cramping. Still another alternative would be for drivers to use outlying parking facilities and theq to take a bus. Although the popularity of this system is questionable, new parking areas are presently being investigated These include University-owned land at 2917 Main St., about one mile from the campus, and the University Plaza parking lot. Additional parking spaces are also available at Ridge Lea and at the Amherst campus. Permanent relief to the Main campus parking problems is only expected when the Amherst campus is completed and most students will be attending classes there. University Wide Tickets Presently, $75,000 to $100,000 per year is collected by the City of Buffalo for tickets issued here on campus. It has been continually suggested that campus tickets be issued in lieu of city tickets, as was done a couple of years ago. This proposal was vetoed by Dr. Ketter because it was felt that campus tickets would be hard to enforce. Student enforcement of campus tickets could be controlled by holding back the registration or transcripts of students who failed to pay their fines. Faculty traffic violations would either be deducted from their paychecks or their paychecks would be withheld. An appeals board would be set up to hear any complaints regarding campus traffic violations. Mr. Hunt felt such a system would not work because “students would end up with a large bill” at the end of the year which would be a hardship to pay. ‘The less the University is involved in the enforcement system, the better off it is,” he added. University-wide tickets is being tried at the State Universities at Albany and Stony Brook with some initial difficulties. But, with the addition of Appeals Boards at those schools, Mr. Palefsky said, “everything is running smoothly.” �Research volunteers WNYPIRG needs volunteer researchers for die following projects: smoking hazards, X-ray dangers, recycling, unit pricing legislation, rapid transit study, and consumer action task force.

Resolution under study for land sale monies onin Involved parties continue to explore the resolution reconfirming the Faculty-Student Association’s (FSA) commitment to use proceeds from the sale of Amherst land for the benefit of students. The resolution states that “for as long as Sub-Board I, Inc. represents the students of SUNY/Buffalo, the income (from the sale of the Amherst land] will be turned over to Sub-Board I, for the benefit of the Inc students of SUNY/Buffalo.” Initially, Sub-Board had insisted that a binding contract be signed which would guarantee the establishment of a trust fund, administered by Sub-Board, for the,benefit of students. However, FSA felt this unnecessary since the above resolution had been passed at the FSA meeting of November 28, 1971, when it was unanimously approved with one abstention. laws Student housing restric tions to he looked at by high court lifestyle, thus insuring that the community will be structured socially on a homogeneous basis.” by Ian DeWaal Campus Editor The constitutionality of zoning ordinances restricting the numbers of unrelated individuals allowed to live together will be decided by the U.S. Supreme Court this spring. The ruling will have an important effect on the Buffalo housing situation. Monday morning, the high court agreed to hear a case brought by three students from the State University at Stony Brook and their landlord. The students are requesting that a zoning ordinance of the village of Belle Terre on Long Island restricting the permissable occupancy of a single dwelling to no more than two unrelated individuals be declared unconstitutional. The three students, two of whom have now graduated initiated the suit in the summer of 1972 after they and three additional roommates were served with a summons for violating the zoning law which restricted the neighborhood to one family dwellings occupied by “no more than two people not related by blood, adoption or marriage.” Personal decision Justice Mansfield added while local communities “are given wide latitude in achieving legitimate zoning needs, they cannot under the mask of zoning ordinances impose social preferences upon their fellow citizens.” ... The decision in this case may have far reaching effects on student housing in Buffalo where an almost identical statute limits to two the number of unrelated individual allowed to live together. As late as March 1972, The Buffalo Common Council was immersed in fierce debate concerning the proposed repeal of the statute. Action to repeal the ordinance was eventually rebuffed and students had to rely on the virtual non-enforcement of the statute. City officials chose to avoid placing a large number of University students out on the streets. Buffalo has had a housing shortage for a number of years especially in the University area. Temporary setback In September, 1972 a U.S. District Court ruled Belle Terre, had a lawful interest in maintaining the “marriage and blood related” character of the neighborhood and could properly do so through zoning. In that case, Justice John F. Dooling described such zoning as “simply another of countless statutes of bounty and protection with and the federal government which the states alike aggressively surround the traditional family of parents and their children, reaching from family court laws, through laws of inheritance to tax laws.” ... The 2nd Circuit of the UJS. Court of Appeals overturned the lower. court decjsioji this past, February. Justice Walter Mansfield, writing for the 2-1 majority noted that Justice Dooling had based his verdict solely on the “interest of the local community in the protection and maintenance of the prevailing traditional family pattern.” “In our view,” continued Justice Mansfield, “such a goal fails to fall within the proper exercise of The ordinance has the state police power prupose and effect of permitting existing inhabitants to compel .all others who would take up residence in the community to conform to its prevailing ideas of ... Page two The Spectrum Wednesday, . . Non-enforcement reassured This non-enforcement of the law was reassured during the 1972 Mayoral election by Democratic candidate Frank Sedita who was seeking reelection in the face of the new 18-year-old vote. Monday evening Democratic candidate for Councilman of the University District Bill Price stated on a WBFO radio program his desire to see the enactment of a realistic ordinance which would answer both community and student needs. * Mr. Price expressed concern that landlords are allowed to “run wild” in filling their aparta>aaU.-ln.stating his concern forthe prevention of neighbourhood deterioration, Mr. Price emphasized; “it isn’t the councilman’s job to decide what moral values are important or should be enforced. I am affirming the value of healthy neighborhoods,” continued Mr. Price, explaining that his concentration was on the physical deterioration of homes being overtaxed by excessive numbers of residents. now “Where you have to use the power of law to enforce morality something is wrong with the society,” concluded Mr. Price. 17 October 1973 body], then the binding contract could result in a very bad situation,” Mr. Doty surmised. No way of predicting FSA secretary Tom Schillo agreed it was conceivable that at some future date Sub-Board might not be the most representative body of students. “I think that the resolution as it stands is all that students would want,” Mr. Schillo said. “But there’s no way of predicting for all time that Sub-Board will be representative of students,” he reiterated. According to Mr. Schillo, the resolution as passed would be subject to review in 1977. Assistant Vice-President for Student Affairs Anthony Lorenzetti also expressed doubt as to whether Sub-Board I was representative of students. “Sub-Board really doesn’t have to represent students,” Dr. Lorenzetti maintained. “It actually is a funnel for monies money goes in and it disperses them. When you represent students you take sides,” he added, but Sub-Board only follows the instructions of the student governments. However, he said that “if it was agreeable to the student governments that Sub-Board should disperse the funds,” then Sub-Board could be considered representative of students. Dr. Lorenzetti regarded Sub-Board as only one organization that “should be in the field” of those that are considered most representative. He suggested that a board of trustees comprised of students and administrators could also be considered as representative, and one of those “in the field.” Sub-Board executive director Steve Blumencrantz appeared generally satisfied with the resolution as adopted. He said a committee was now being set up to study the “vehicle” through which the funds will be administered. Vehicle, he said, signifies who will administer the funds and under what conditions they will be administered. - ‘Measure of protection’ One Sub-Board source said the binding contract would have provided a measure of protection against FSA’s using the funds to subsidize its own activities, ‘if they’re not restricted from keeping their grubby paws off, the money will be gone,” the source emphasized. Responding to this allegation, FSA treasurer Ed Doty maintained that FSA’s using some of the monies for its own expenditures was certainly possible but not likely.” He continued: “It probably would be legally necessary if the Bookstore and Food Service incurred losses, because we would have to use our assets to offset these losses. To that degree the Sub-Board people are correct.” The Sub-Board spokesman also suggested that because the State had refused to pay for FSA offices on the Amherst campus, the funds might be used toward this end. However, Mr. Doty labeled this charge “not true.” Mr. Doty felt that Sub-Board was representative of students, but said the Sub-Board proposal had been rejected because it would have caused FSA a degree of inflexibility. “If it was ever determined at some future date that Sub-Board was not representative of students [if one or more student governments were to withdraw from that I | The grump by Stem j EVERY MONDAY | IN THE SPECTRUM I HOORAY!!!!! ...

Circulation: 14,000 �Javits speaks Senator gives his views on oil crisis and Arab blackmail by Marc Jacobson City Editor,. • Senator Jacob Javits of New York pledged Monday to do his best to -hold down tuition increases at both public and private colleges. Discussing the energy crisis at what he called a “town meeting” at the Executive Motor Inn, Mr. Javits emphasized repeatedly that the United States “cannot be blackmailed” into political concessions by radical Arab states threatening a shortage of fuel. Opposing any form of blackmail, New York’s senior Senator urged that the oil-consuming regions of the world (United States, Japan and Western Europe) cooperate in joint efforts to insure sufficient heating oil and gasoline for all consumers. On Long Island, “long standing customers of heating oil suppliers have already been turned down on their request for heating oil,” the Senator said. Noting the quantity of gasoline consumed in our urban centers, Mr. Javits suggested that if the average number of passengers per car were increased from 1.5 to two, and Detroit began producing cars with an average of 20 miles per gallon, gasoline consumption would be reduced by 60%. Instead, “Detroit continues to build cats which get even less than 11 miles per gallon, and people continue to drive to work alone instead of making a conscious effort to form car pools or take mass transit where available.” Mr. Javits proposed a “progressive purchase tax” on automob Bes, based on gas consumption, to encourage people to buy more economical cars. Turning to the “tragic” crisis of the Middle East, the Senator said the United States cannot “become dependent on oil supplies from radical Arab states. U.S. policy in the Middle East should not be distorted and misdirected,” he added, “by the goading and threats of radical Arab states.” Senator Javits said there are three “critical” points around which we, the United States, should rally. First is the notion of “self-help,” that the United States should develop to the fullest its own energy resources. Second, the Arab states are “not a monolithic group so long as the radicals are not fomenting revolution in other states.” Thirdly, he stressed the need for cooperation among the world’s major oil users. Through cooperation, the Senator emphasized, all available resources would be used for mutual benefit, and any necessary sacrifices would be shared by all nations concerned. Question and answer period Jacob Javits because there are schools on Long Island that do not have heating oil contracts for the coming winter.” Oil priorities critical The system of mandatory allocation of oil resources recently established by the Nixon Administration were sharply criticized by Mr. Javits. He said that in order to be effective, the oil allocation system “must include priorities, similar to those created for the allocation of propane gas previously established.” The Senator’s remarks seemed to imply that there will be homes that will not receive adequate heating oil this winter because of this lack of priorities. The priorities established for the propane gas allocation were: first, home heating necessities (propane is used predominantly in rural areas as the major source of heat); second, food preservation and harvesting; and third, hospitals and other public service institutions. Mr. Javits stressed the need for national standards in many areas. Specifically, ne suggested that the federal government enact building codes to improve both heating and ventilation systems in all buddings, with the resulting effect of reducing heating costs and fuel consumption. He also urged the investigation of alternate sources of energy, the passage of the Alaska pipeline bill to bring additional oil to the Northeast states, and for households to turn down their thermostats by two degrees during the day and four degrees at night. The Senator declined to answer questions about the upcoming Senatorial election in November 1974. One reporter asked Mr. Javits if he felt reductions in UJS. oil supply resulting from the Mideast war might produce an increase in Anti-Israeli or Anti-Semitic feeling. The Senator responded that there “should not” be any increase in Anti-Semitism, but he could not predict what the American public would do. He did say that the people of this country “resent being blackmailed” 6y anyone, in particular the Arab states, and that the survival of Israel is a critical issue in the Middle East. He said that Israel deserves to survive. In response to a statement by Senator J. William Fulbright (D.Ark) that “Jews control the Congress,” Mr. Javits said this was “definitely untrue.” Sen. Fulbright feels this way because there is a pro-lsrael sentiment in Congress, Senator Javits said. When the chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee (Sen. Fulbright) introduces measures in committee that arc not objective toward Israel, they arc generally voted down by myself and 13 other members of the committee, Mr. Javits added. Will hold down tuition Mr. Javits was also asked if students at the State University of New York could depend on him to hold down tuition increases in light of the recommendation of the Committee on Economic Development to double tuition costs at public colleges. “I will not give you a pat answer like ‘yes you can depend on me,’ instead 1 will show you what I have done and what I will do to insure that tuition costs remain low,” said Mr. Javits. ‘The Higher Education Act, for which 1 have been working strongly, should be funded to its fullest extent; both the grant sections to needy students and the guaranteed loan sections. The section of the act that has not yet been funded, which will match state scholarships with federal funds, virtually doubling the number of scholarships available to students, should also be funded to its fullest extent. And you have my word that I will use my influence to the fullest extent to hold down tuition at the SUNY schools in the near future.” Other questions dealt with the transportation bond issue, which Senator Javits said he supports. He urged all Buffalonians to support the issue as well, because the per capita aid that the bond issue will yield is greatest in Buffalo, where nearly one-third of the total $3.5 billion to be raised will be channelled. Mr. Javits commented that Judge John Sirica had been eminently fair in his rulings on the Watergate tapes case, and was saddened deeply by the resignation of former Vice-President Spiro Agnew.

After a show of hands, the committee announced it would hold a mass rally on Thursday, October 27 in front of Norton Hall. The committee voted to pursue the of getting possibility Assemblyman Arthur Eve to address t rally. A committee member stated that 70 volunteers had begun to work against President Robert Ketter’s plan to arm Campus Security, but that much more student participation was needed. Dr. Ketter was heavily criticized during the meeting, and many students expressed a desire to “humiliate” him by challenging him to debate. After much discussion, the debate suggestion was tabled ‘Act now’ Some students were divided over when to act against the proposed arming, but the majority seemed to agree with one student who said: “We must act now because the longer we wait, the harder it will be to succeed. Public activity is good and so are tables and leaflets in Norton.” Another stated: “Small things are better than rally after rally. It’s better to decentralize and have more things like guerrila theater and nighttime marches.” The students also discussed the of videotaping possibility activities to draw more attention to their cause. A proposal to stall cars around the entrances to the was roundly University condemned as “counter-productive.” Among the overriding concerns expressed by committee members was the need for publicity for their activities. They also expressed the fear of indiscretion on the part of Campus Security in using firearms. Conspicuous by their absence were the members of the Revolutionary Communist Youth (RCY), who were forcibly barred for the meeting when attempting to enter. The reason given by members of the Committee was that the RCY members had “disrupted” previous meetings and were interested solely in “propagandizing” for their group. An RCY spokesman described their exclusion as a “sham” and denied they had attempted to disrupt previous meetings. He continued. “We always abide by the rules of the meetings. This political exclusion is taking place merely because the leadership of the committee cannot defeat our politics. We may picket the next meeting.” The students then formed committees to discuss the various tactics they will use in the future to combat the proposal to arm Campus Security.

First reports indicate that the Egyptian offensive is the largest of the war and could be a vital turning point in the struggle. Both Israel and Egypt have been claiming successes. The Egyptian military claims to have won back large tracts of land held by the Israelis since the six-day war of 1967. Israel, on the other hand, is reporting that they have been able to repel Arab attacks in the Sinai and inflict heavy losses on the Egyptians. Tel Aviv claims that 220 enemy tanks have been destroyed and 1000 soldiers killed in the fighting. An Israeli communique said: “We are grinding them into the ground.” First news of the Egyptian attack on the Sinai came from sources within Israel. An Arab blackout on information limited the number of reports coming from Egypt. An official communique issued by Cairo listed Israeli losses at 150 tanks and 24 planes. Israel controls Golan Heights On the Northern front, Israel maintained control of the Golan Heights and continued her push towards Damascus. Syrian troops have begun to dig in for a defense of the city. Jordanian troops, which were dispatched by King Hussein late last week, have yet to do major battle with the Israelis. They have been stationed around Damascus and are serving as a second line of defense. Military observers doubt Israel will attempt to occupy Damascus, but will instead try to obliterate the Syrian army and then qoncentrate on the Egyptian front. Israel Defense Minister Moshe Dayan did not seem to be overly Israel Defense Minister Moshe Dyan did not seem to be overly that Israel would concentrate its efforts on the Sinai front now that the Syrians had been pushed back. The ranks of the Arab nations were strengthened over the weekend when an official broadcast on Riyadh Radio announced that Saudi Arabia had entered the war.

There have been scattered reports throughout the last week that limited aid was already being given to Israel. Gen. Alexander M. Haig, the President’s chief of staff, refused to comment on government reports that the U5. had decided to replace some of. the lost Israeli tanks and planes, primarily F-4 Phantom fighter-bombers. Mr. Haig did say; “We’re going to maintain the balance and continue with on-going shipments.” Any resupplying decision may have resulted from Saturday’s State Department re-assessment of Soviet arms shipments to Arab nations from moderate to “fairly substantial.” Soviet shipments in the last week were estimated at 200,000 tons. The White House withheld comment, saying only that the President and Secretary of State had met and that Dr. Kissinger resumed his efforts to reach a diplomatic settlement of the war after the meeting, although neither side has been very receptive. Both sides have begun preparation for a long battle and neither has been very receptive to peace feelers. Israeli Defense Minister Moshe Dayan indicated, however, that the war could easily end without a formal cease-fire being signed. He said that the Arabs may very well stop fighting if they feel they cannot win. CASAELYA Micro-Lab:' What do you say after you say "Hello"? 8 -11 p.m. $600 350 Elmwood Ava.

He maintained that in most cases, as in his, contractors were only too glad to initiate any offers. by Clem Colucci Feature Editor Former Vice-President Spiro T. Agnew, in a televised address Monday evening, denied allegations that he had received kickbacks from contractors and participated in extortion schemes during his terms as Baltimore County Executive and Governor of Maryland. His voice shaking and his speech often faltering, the only Vice-President in history ever to resign under duress said he had resigned in the interests of his family, close friends and the American people. Mr. Agnew decided not to give a detailed refutation of the evidence released by the Justice Department as part of the agreement by which the former Vice-President resigned and pleaded no contest to one change of income tax evasion in exchange for leniency. Reading from a prepared text that he reportedly wrote himself, Mr. Agnew said the news media had published leaks from “undisclosed sources” regarding the investigation into charges against him, and the effect of these leaks was “prejucicial to my civil rights.” He was also highly critical of the prosecution’s handling j)f his case. Mr. Agnew said the American people deserve a Vice-President in whom they can place complete trust and that “for the last two months they have not had such a Vice-President.” He had discharged his legal and Constitutional obligations by resigning and pleading no contest to the one charge of tax evasion, which, Mr. Agnew emphasized, he did to save the nation the trauma of a protracted trial during a “crucial” time for American domestic and foreign politics. Question and answer / self-confessed “What is it that makes my accusers believable?” asked Mr. bribebrokers and extortioners Agnew in posing and answering questions about his case. He asserted that he had not enriched himself at the expense of the public trust, offering in evidence his net worth of somewhat less than $200,000, modest for a man in his position. Mr. Agnew said the case against him made “no claims of unexplained personal enrichment.” He asked rhetorically why he had not resigned and subsequently fought the charges against him as a private citizen. Mr. Agnew’s legal advisors warned him that a resignation would create a presumption of guilt that would make any defense impossible. What he has read since his resignation he said, has convinced him that the advice was correct. Mr. Agnew also said it was time to “turn away from the personal troubles of Ted Agnew and toward the great tasks of the nation,” Despite earlier published reports that Mr. Agnew had said he was forced out of office by President Nixon, Mr. Agnew had nothing but jjraise for the President in his speech. Referring to his meetings with Mr. Nixon, to discuss the investigation, Mr. Agnew said the President “said to me in private exactly what he has said in public” that it was my decision to make. He branded as “completely false” reports that their meetings had been unfriendly. Still accountable But, said Mr. Agnew: “I am accountable to another authority, that of the American people themselves.” Mr. Agnew then proceeded to give his version of the events that led to a Justice Department investigation of his political activities in Maryland. Mr. Agnew explained that in Maryland government, building contracts were awarded without competitive building because of the professional nature of the activities. Contractors are always “anxious” to get government contracts, and often offer campaign contributions and other forms of renumeration to public officials in order to increase their chances of landing lucrative government work. Mr. Agnew said this practice can “overlap in an unethical and immoral manner,” but was taken for granted until the rise of what he called a “post-Watergate political morality” that was less inclined to wink at such activities. The Justice Department’s case presented him as the initiator and “gray eminence” of various illegal kickback and extortion schemes, the former Vice-President said. Mr. Agnew branded the charge as “laughable” to anyone with - - — New challenges Mr. Agnew then discussed challenges the nation must face now that he has removed himself from public life. He said the choice of House Republican leader Gerald Ford as his successor was a “wise nomination.” “He’ll make an excellent Vice-President and he is eminently qualified to assume the highest office” if it should prove necessary, said Mr,. Agnew. The former Vice-President expressed hope that his personal ordeal would lead to reforms in the political system. He hinted strongly at, but did not quite endorse, a system of public campaign financing through which candidates of limited means, like himself, would not be vulnerable to the corrupting influence of large campaign donations. Mr. Agnew urged that state and local governments take action to plug loopholes in their own campaign laws, and said he had done this to a limited extent while he was Governor of Maryland, He asked that prosecutors be subject to greater control to prevent prejudicial leaks and indiscriminate use of the power to grant immunity, which Mr. Agnew described as an “open invitation to perjury” and a Form of “legalized extortion” for ambitious prosecutors.

Invoking the upcoming bicentennial celebration in 1976, Mr. Agnew said the American people have “an unusually fine group” of potential leaders in that year’s election. He closed by recalling what James Garfield, then a young army officer, said to a frightened group of people upon hearing of the death of President Abraham Lincoln: “Fellow citizens, God reigns and the government in Washington still lives.” Mr. Agnew echoed those sentiments and ended his public career. presents r% I j |C town 5 4 0Vnsu V-% i '“ fs a <sAvl \e& '.

The Spectrum Page five . �DITOR Bumper to bumper The parking situation on this campus has reached the level of absurdity. Every day, thousands of drivers ride endlessly around the campus in circles looking for parking spots that don't exist. It is no longer a matter of there inconvenience, wasted time or annoying aggravation is simply no place for people to park their cars. Last year, one could always find a spot in the Main-Bailey Lot even if it meant a long walk. This year, even the enormous Main-Bailey Lot is packed solid with an endless ocean of cars, stretched out bumper to bumper as far as the eye can see. The reason for the crunch is simple: 28,000 parking permits were issued this year; there are 5000 parking spaces on campus. As many as 16,000 cars are driven to this campus, in a single day. And the lack of available space has been exacerbated by extremely poor planning. In the past, car owners had to fill out special forms to receive parking stickers, one to a customer. This year, parking stickers were sent to every student with his registration form; and any driver who could produce an I.D. card and auto registration form could get a sticker from SA or Campus Security. No records were kept; people could go back for seconds and thirds, and give them out to friends. Additionally, instead of trying to fully utilize whatever space is available, the segregation of student and faculty lots has meant empty spots sometimes lie unused while frustrated student or professor circles the campus ten more times. Students and faculty have been battling each other for preference, but an end to segregated lots would benefit both. We urge a return to open parking, by which every spot on campus would at least be fully utilized. In the past, segregated lots have really meant open parking for faculty, since they were rarely ticketed for parking in student lots, but SA Student Rights coordinator Cliff Palefsky has been pressuring Security to rectify this inequity. But crackihg down on students and faculty for parking in each other's lots totally ignores the real problem, which is a lack of space for both. Are there any solutions in this mess? Auxiliary parking lots near campus are being explored; the most promising possibility is in the back of the large University Plaza lot across the street. Commuters who live near either Ridge Lea or the Amherst Campus are being urged to park their cars there and take the shuttle bus to Main St. But instead of closing off Tower Lot so maintenance can store equipment there, the Administration should be exploring ways of opening up additional space on the campus. Promises that “the Amherst Campus situation will be better" are no good the problem is now. Albany will not allocate any more money for parking lots; but there are several large grassy areas that could be roped off, which would be like paradise to desperate drivers. Rotary Field, which is not in use most of the time, is one possibility. Sure, roping off grassy areas is a stop-gap measure at best, but unconventional steps are needed to alleviate this crisis. Do we have to wait until frustration climbs so high that people randomly abandon their cars all over campus, or park in protest in Dr. Ketter's reserved space? Open parking and auxiliary lots must be enacted before the onset of winter, or we will all be walking around cars abandoned in the snow all across campus. We also urge a return to giving campus tickets, not city of Buffalo tickets, for parking violations. This would have two advantages; tickets could be reduced to $2 and $3 from the present $5; and the over $100,000 in revenue, instead of going to the city, could remain in the school (through an income/reimbursable account) and used to hire attendants, fix up lots, and build new facilities. With the addition of an Appeals Board to hear complaints, such a system is now working smoothly at the State Universities at Albany and Binghamton. The Traffic Committee overwhelmingly recommended campus tickets to Dr. Ketter, but he refused, arguing it didn't work the first time because it was unenforceable. But now, not only can delinquent students be forced to pay by holding back their registration or transcript, but a new Trustees ruling permits deduction of unpaid tickets from faculty paychecks, making campus tickets wholly and equally enforceable. There is no reason barring allegations of that the money from parking tickets community pressures should not be channeled back into this school where it belongs. We therefore urge Dr. Ketter to reconsider the recommendation and restore campus parking tickets. - — — ifcge six The Spectrum Wednesday, 17 October 1973 . .

Allen Professor of History 25-Year War 1) Executive Privilege, Separation of Powers and the Twenty-fifth Amendment: If, as President Nixon and his lawyers maintain, a President has the power to, at his own discretion, withhold evidence of criminal activity and if a President cannot be indicted without first being impeached, why can’t House Speaker Carl Albert, who is next in succession to the Presidency, assassinate Mr. Nixon and Vice President-designate Gerald Ford, move into the Oval Office and refuse to release any evidence of his part in the murder? Using the President’s own logic, Mr. Albert would be immune from indictment, could not be forced to testify, and could order the Justice Department to stop any investigation into the assassination. Impeachment, of course, is cumbersome and would divide the nation. It’s almost foolproof and I commend the procedure to any future Speaker of the House. 2) Token Serious Comment on a Major Campus Issue Department: For some time now, various Student Association officers have devoted much time and energy to the issue of open people. This is natural because they are the only people who see you and comment on your work. We get used to the idea that nobody outside of those 40 and our personal friends recognize us and we accept the idea of getting praise and criticism for a small group of people. So if a columnist wants to keep in touch with reality, he or she must get reactions from different people. The primary instrument for this purpose is the Nasty Letter. Now come on, people, you can do better than this. I’ve been filling this space every Wednesday for a month now and not one of you has bothered to send me any hate mail. It makes a body feel unloved. Hate mail is the lifeblood of any columnist, the nasty letter is the puberty rite and the first threat is the literary equivalent of losing your virginity. Without nasty letters, a columnist gets very frustrated. Give me a break, will you? parking. Hoping to alleviate the gross overcrowding in campus parking lots, these students have lobbied for open parking, that is, ending the practice of separate lots for students and faculty. While I support this on the principle that everyone should be screwed equally, this emphasis on open parking as a solution gives the illusion of productive action without substance. The problem is not and never has been segregated parking lots; the problem is pure and simple overcrowding. Monday morning, for example, I spent 40 minutes looking for a parking space. I was perfectly willing to take the risks of parking in a faculty lot, but in a 40-minute tour of the campus I found exactly two parking spaces, both in the Presidential parking lot by Goodyear Hall. In that same period, I saw dozens of illegally parked cars. In desperation I tried to park on Winspear Ave., Comstock Ave., Highgate St. and Lisbon Ave., which took me all the way to my house. Not one parking space was available within a five-minute walk to campus. Finally, I parked at the Red Barn and trusted to luck that I would not get a ticket. While a decent respect for human equality demands open parking, that is not the answer. Open parking will solve nothing and can only serve to give spurious enhancement to student leaders’ reputations. Those who trumpet the cause of open parking as any sort of solution are guilty of ignorant or willful deception and a phenomenal misdirection of effort. 3) News That Should Not be Lost to History Department: In case you’re interested in the way the Nixon White House works, here’s how UPI reported that the President informed Gerald Ford he had been nominated for the Vice Presidency.

As a result of the demonstration at Hayes Hall, I was made aware of the tremendous parallels between the Nixon Administration and the Ketter Administration. A group of concerned students came to discuss with President Ketter the proposal to arm security. They were met with the threat thatif they did not leave within 15 minutes, they would be arrested and expelled from the University. Ron SIbin, director of the Office of Student Affairs, commented that he felt Ketter’s statement was “a real possibility.” His intervention facilitated the agreement made to allow 12 people to meet with Dr. Ketter. When the meeting was over and the entire group was leaving Hayes, their photos were taken by Campus Security. This is obviously intended for some sort of file on campus demonstrators. Do we need that kind of undercover espionage on this campus. How many files do they have already? Why are they keeping a file on demonstrators? Furthermore, when this group of students met to discuss future actions, they were kept under surveillance by two plainclothes security guards. Did anyone ever aak why we need plainclothes guards, and why are they following us? If you think this sounds like some film about the FBI or about the Philadelphia Police Dept., you’re probably right. It is a horror film and you are about to become the star.

The Free School opposes the disciplinary methods, rigidity and high level of competition in public schools. “public schools cannot even be described as a regurgitation of facts, because many of the kids do not relate to what they are learning and many may not be interested in what they are learning,” said Doreen Weckerlc, administrator for the Buffalo Free School. "The child as an individual is not taken into account,” she added. Who needs adults? The Buffalo Free School allows the child the opportunity to explore what is relevant to him without the instruction of an adult. Children do not need adults in order to leant, said Ms. Weckerle. On the contrary, they leant through their own explorations into life and through their conversations with one another. Three important aims of the Buffalo Free School are summarized by Chairman Robert Floyd; one, to create an atmosphere that recognizes Rage eight. The Spectrum Wednesday, 17 October 1973 . individual differences and stimulates individual growth potential for each child; two, to encourage mutual respect between child and child, and child and adult; and three, to promote the development of a sense of self, and to encourage an acceptance of self. Unlike the public school, the Free School steers away from the sterile classroom. The two floors of the school are divided into moderately-sized rooms, bordered by cluttered shelves filled with various types of paraphernalia. The 19 children present are free to wander through the rooms at their own pace. There are two teachers and several volunteers who work with the children rather than instruct them. Order from chaos Although this lack of order may appear chaotic, many experienced educators feel that this is a better method to deal with education. They feel it allows the child to develop his creativity and eagerness to learn. Public schools have been criticized for suppressing this development, because of their use of condescending attitudes, rigidity and competitive grading. In order to make education a process of living, the Buffalo Free School has connected the process of thinking with that of feeling. "Learning can be done with no limits to the imagination,” said Ms. Weckerle. A walk down the street becomes a learning experience for the children. While being shown the different parts of a flower and its functions, the children also learn about its fragrance and the prick of its thorn. The physical and social environments have been incorporated into the child's learning process at the Free School. Without an understanding of these surroundings, all other learning may be rendered meaningless. �Through the observation of new students at the Free School, the teaching staffbecomes increasingly aware of the detrimentaleffects of the public school system. Ms. Weckede said: "A new kid entering our school is usually on a power-trip, but the children usually work things out.” The children easily accept a new child into their activities. “They just will not put up with competitive natures,’' added Ms. Weckerle. Division into grades., is considered an obstacle to the child’s learning. At the Free School, children ranging in age from five to twelve work together, in groups of their own choice or alone. Ms. Weckerle explained that many times the older children work constructively with the younger ones. The traditional image of teacher is non-existent here. Rather than having the teacher take the dominant role in conversation, the child initiates activity through questions, statements and discoveries. “We are on a more equal level with the kids,” Ms. Weckerle said. “We become their friends rather than disciplinarians.” Responsibility fostered Although discipline exists at the Free School, it does not become a threatening imposition upon the child. Discipline here fosters a child’s feeling of responsibility. He is encouraged to respect his community, his friends and himself. Free Schools allow parents greater participation in their child’s education. “The parents involved in our school care how their children learn and what they learn,” said Ms. Weckerle. The parents have the option of hiring the teachers and requesting that they work in specific areas with the children. The parents may also visit the school and participate in the activities. Although there are many positive sides to the Free School, it has its problems. One problem is relating what the child teams in die school to what the child experiences in the real world. Another problem is funding, a dilemma common to alternative schools. The Buffalo Free School presently must operate on a sliding scale of tuition payments which, no matter how the scale is set, hurts the poorer families. Finally, the Buffalo Free School is not well accepted by the community. Much of this problem arises from the community's ignorance of what a free school is all about, the staff feels. Local residents cannot conceive of a successful education without textbooks and teachers. Ms. Weckerle concluded: “It is absurd. You do not need a $20 textbook to team. Children are teaming all the time.” Wednesday, 17 October 1973 The Spectrum Page nine . . �Arab views Support for Israel To the Editor: Israel’s struggle for survival will be welcome.

Since the creation of the State of Israel in 1948, the Israeli government committed aggression against the Arab people which manifested itself in the expropriation of Palestinian land and the creation of Palestinian refugees. 2. In 1956, the Israeli government along with the governments of France and Britian attacked the ... Eygptian people. 3. In 1967, the Israeli government attacked Eygpt, Jordan, and Syria. The Israeli armies have continually occupied sovereign territories in defiance Anti-imperialist view needed and desired is a radically reconstructed Israel free of Zionism.

They believe people without land, and scattered throughout the that the governments of the various Arab states are world, these are the Palestinians, chief victims of the united in a crusade to destroy Israel. They see conflict. Finally this view sees Zionism as the most Israel’s very existence threatened as a result of the reactionary element in the area. Zionism which present war. This point of view is so widespread that oppresses its own people in Israel by forcing second it enjoys control over other opinions on the subject. class status on its Arab population, which has evicted This point of view, the view of Zionism, has raised a nation of people from the land on which they were $125 million and 10,000 volunteers to send to Israel born, which has built capitalism under the phony for the current war. guise of democratic socialism, and which plays For those of you who have not been able to Middle East watchdog for U.S. interests, this is the hear, there are other opinions on the situation.

Since 1967, the Israeli government has by its policy of occupation and annexation, clearly indicated that it is not interested in seeking peace, but rather territorial expansion. 5. Finally, the Israeli government has initiated a policy of terror aimed at demoralizing civilian populations. The continued atrocities against civilian populations such as the bombing of refugee camps in Lebanon and the downing of a Libyan passenger aircraft, have already been condemned by international bodies. For twenty-five years, the Israeli government has oppressed the Arab masses and retarded the struggle for a unified Middle East. As a result, the Arab people, after bringing their case before all international bodies, were left with no choice but to retake their land. The maintenance of the status quo would only encourage the intransigence of the Meir government.

In its place, Baraka’s To the Editor. experimental brainwashing What is the best way to run a city without funds? The best way to isolate the employed, unemployed, welfare recipients, and oppressed minorities from one another, and terrorize them into accepting depression conditions: starvation and slave labor? “Community control” is the resounding answer of the capitalist class, and its “dirty tricks” machine, the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), to its pressing problem: how to politically fragment the working class during periods of mass ferment. Newark, New Jersey is such a city. Imamu Baraka (former black nationalist poet, LeRoi Jones) terrorizes the entire black ghetto under the guise of “community control,” while his white racist cohort Anthony Imperiale “controls” the white ghetto. It is a twin fascist machine, each half feeding off the vicious racism of the other. The whole operation is a fraud. In public they denounce one another; in private they plan over their “hot line” hookup their next public “denouncement.” In 1967, following the bloody Neward police riots, Baraka sat in a Newark jail on charges of possession of arms a tramp with no connections. John Rawlings Rees, for the CIA and Prudential Life Insurance, (the major slumlord of Newark), visited him there to make a deal. Baraka accepted a place on the CIA bankroll, for $75,000 a year. In return, he became the CIA’s mod-squad frontman. A perfect puppet clad in dashiki to instill in the ghetto a sense of guilt, to extract a declaration of repentance, to make the ghetto believe that it had sinned, and to turn repentance and guilt into a source of PRIDE for the mutilated victim. Without that, no stability or authority could again take root in Newark or in any 'other ghetto in the country. LeRoi Jones, willing to provide this essential service, suddenly plunged into political stardom. He was quite frank about his future prospects. In reply to an interviewer’s question, “Would you accept money if they offer it to you now?” he said: “Sure I would. But the only way they would give me money now would be to do something they can use against black people.” How does Baraka run Newark? It is no longer in the hands of City Hall but in the iron grip of the nine area boards coordinated by the poverty agency I the United Community Corporation and supervised by “Papa Doc” Baraka. Baraka eliminated the Newark Teacher’s Union, denouncing them as racists (40% of NTU is black), physically terrorizing them and smashing their 1970 - . para-military IRC To the Editor. program known as ‘The African Free School” produces zombies who obey Baraka’s orders to police their “own” ghetto and destroy any opposition, for example, by scabbing on the Two Guys’ strike in summer 1973. The government allows Baraka to run the city’s entire $4-4.5 million methadone maintenance program, which is aimed at transferring control of the city’s 20,000 drug addicts from the hands of the Mob to the government. The pathetic victims of heroin taken under the protective wings of government methadone maintenance program are compelled to appear early every morning in front of the “clinic,” waiting in long queques to be administered their dose, and then set to work for local businesses. They wait for their methadone fix from Baraka, while Baraka waits for his fix from the Arthur Gortton’s remarks about Amherst busses in Monday’s The Spectrum typify IRC’s insensitivity to the needs of North Campus residents. It’s easy for someone who lives on Main Campus to dismiss the hassles 800 students put up with by saying “You can’t satisfy everyone all the time.” IRC has done very little to help reduce the isolation of Amherst. Although Housing has been fairly considerate of our requests, we don’t need Arthur Gordon blanketly complementing them for doing a “great job.” While he’s sitting back in his Goodyear office, we may be waiting forty minutes for a bus back to the dorjn. Sincerely, Richard Turk, President Clinton Hall House Council government. The only force able to stop Baraka and the CIA is the National Caucus of Labor Committees. We have underway in Newark and across the country an expanding campaign to expose to his victims and the world that Baraka is a fascist CIA front man; to expose to the remains of the black nationalist movement that “black nationalism” is a slave mentality which teaches blacks to be proud of their poverty and oppression. Ethnic nationalism of any color or race is pushed by the CIA because it fragments a population to fight each other instead of fighting the government. Newark is the proof of that fact. The Revolutionary Youth Movement, organized by the NCLC, is itself organizing Newark’s black and Puerto Rican youth gangs, into a united front with us to kick Baraka and his thugs out of Newark. New Solidarity, ther NCLC newspaper, reports that our forums on Barak** facing held in every maj«saty/«nd college throughout the country, are attracting black nationalists, left without a movement, who are ready to begin looking for new answers to the problem of oppression. They are beginning to understand that the entire working class is the victim of oppression; it isn’t a “black” question or a “white” question. It is only a question of the entire working dass organizing to stop CIA fascism and become the government in this country in the 1970’s. Rige ten The Spectrum Wednesday, 17 October 1973 . Students of The Arab Cultural Club Clara English National Caucus of Labor Committees Journalistic interest? To the Editor. X ~i r' ~i On Friday, September 28, 1973, The Spectrum published an article headlined, “Buffalo State offers journalism courses.” I am glad that there is an interest on this campus in journalism, but perhaps the article overstates the significance of this interest. This past summer the Department of Speech Comrapnication offered a course entitled, “Editing the Small Newspaper.” Four students signed up. 1 don’t know that this fact really proves anything except that when a journalism course was offered, the response was not overwhelming. Is this the fault of the course? No, editing is probably the most basic skill involve# in -journalism. The time? The' course was 10 a.m., which isn’t a bad time for a course. The place? Diefendorf Annex A is centrally located. Poor publicity? The course was in the Reporter and departmental handouts and posting. The instructor? I can’t say (he was me). The point is that, depending on student interest, the Department of Speech Communication offers courses in almost all aspects of public communication including spoken, printed and — electronic communication. Don Rogers, Assistant Professor of Speech Communication Department �harris •»*t. poll* V . by Louis Harris Although he runs far ahead of Vice President in 1976 trial heats for the White House, Senator Edward M. Kennedy’s Presidential image is flawed by a narrow 43 to 41 percent plurality who say “I do not fully trust his integrity.” The essential weakness of a potential Kennedy candidacy in 1976 can be found in the 43-to-36 percent plurality who presently disagree with the statement that “he could give the- country the kind of inspired leadership we need.” The Massachusetts Senator did not enhance his cause by his visit to Alabama earlier this year to pay tribute to Gov. George Wallace. By 41 to 29 percent, most people agree with the statement that Kennedy “was playing cynical politics” when he made his Southern trip. Significantly, 30 percent of those blacks interviewed report the appearance with Wallace raised doubts in their minds about Kennedy. Senator Kennedy does receive high marks, by SO to 33 percent, as “one of the few people willing to take courageous stands on basic issues facing the country” and 66 percent credit him with “being a good U.S. Senator.” But people balk at crossing the crucial line in endorsing his candidacy for the White House: by 44 to 39 percent, voters reject the statement that “he has the personality and leadership qualities a President should have.” The key to Sen. Kennedy’s problem is not directly traceable to Chappaquiddick. By 49 to 34 percent, most of the public deny the allegation that “because of what happened at Chappaquiddick, he diowed he does not deserve the Presidency." Thus, no more than roughly one potential voter in three is prepared to write off Kennedy on the basis of the Chappaquiddick tragedy. Significantly, however, there has been no change whatsoever over the past two years in the public’s view of the event. It has not grown in importance, but neither has it diminished at all in public consciousness. Recently, a cross section of 2454 adults in 200 locations across the country was asked: “Let me read you some statements about Agnew - * ' v •; Kennedy’s integrity questioned “Do you tend to agree or disagree that Senator Edward Kennedy has the personality and leadership qualities a President should have?” Senator Edward Kennedy.

Kennedy “has gone as far as he has because of his name,” consistently beleived by 56 percent, is more than balanced by an equally consistent 66 to 16 percent who credit him with high marks on his performance in the Senate. The American people clearly think he is an outstanding United States Senator. But it is equally apparent that a majority simply will not take the bigger step and express confidence in Kennedy as a potential Presidnet. The over-all results on Senator Kennedy do not reveal the whole story of the deep divisions which surround him os a public figure. Typical were the differences in response to this question: 45 Education 8th grade or less because of his name 56% 32% 12% 35 9 56 57 39% By Age By He has gone 1973 1972 1971 agree Total Public By Size of Place He has the personality and leadership qualities a President should have 39% 44% 17% 1973 1972 43 16 41 15 1971 34 SI Not Sure 17% Agree 21 17 16 52 Senator Kennedy’s strengths and weaknesses among the electorate stand out in sharp contrast in these figures. His support is centered in the big cities, among the young, labor, blacks, and the least educated. His deficits are most acute among the rapidly growing affluent voters in the suburbs, the most educated, and business and professional people. In a campaign, these divisions would likely become even more acute than they are today.

Before 3500 vociferous Brockport fans, the Bulls went down to their third defeat in six games, as the behind the shutout goaltending of All-American goalie Jim May, blanked Buffalo 7-0. “Goliath was ready for David,” said Bull coach Sal Esposito. That certainly was the case as the Eagles outshot Buffalo 51-13 for the game. Brockport tallied early in the first half to take a 1-0 lead. However, except for a score on a penalty kick midway through the half, the Eagles couldn’t dent the armor of Bulls’ goalie Frank Daddario again. BKOCKPORT — Eagles roar The Eagles, somewhat shocked at the slim two-goal halftime lead, came out roaring in the second half. They stormed for five goals against Daddario and his successor, Carl Gifaldi, to ice the victory. “I was surprised that we were only up 2-0 at halftime,” remarked Brockport coach Bill Hughes HERE’S A GREAT OPPORTUNITY Evelyn Wood Reading Dynamics offers you a free glimpse of what it is like to be able to read and study much faster.

Residents hit by problems The inhabitants of the Amherst campus have been confronted by a variety of problems, ranging from construction deficiences to a lack of dormitory activities, Dave Saleh, Student Association (SA) Executive vice-president, is “concerned with the welfare of students out there,” and pointed out some “potentially dangerous situations.” The lighting at the campus entrance, in stairways and on walkways is inadequate, thus posing a safety problem, he said. The footing on the walk routes is bad, due to a lack of sidewalks, tylditionally, he noted that there is no bus shelter to guard against inclement weather. Mr. Saleh concluded that there was a “lack of concern by the administration about what should be done for the winter” as far as solving the various problems facing Amherst residents. John Telfer, vice-president for Facilities Planning, realized the Amherst campus was incomplete and posed some hazards, but noted that “we are doing what we can.” Lighting obstacles According to various spokesmen, there are many obstacles that must be overcome before the North Campus can be properly lit. For the past two years, the State legislature has failed to appropriate money for a water plant that would improve lighting by providing energy for the available transformers. Additionally, because lighting standards as stipulated in the state contract must be adhered to, meeting all these standards has led to slowdowns and delays. Although the construction of a bus shelter has been overlooked due to a money shortage, Mr. Saleh was hopeful that the administration would try to provide the funds for it before winter. Many students in the Governors’ Complex have also been dismayed at the lack of activities on the Amherst Campus, according to Mr. Saleh. He attributed this occurrence to the “disorganized” operations of the Inter-Residence Council (IRC), and said that the SA had stepped in to “lend a hand.” Activities planned SA has scheduled an Information Fair this week, and a Beer Blast Friday night in Lehman Hall. The Speakers Bureau plans to schedule Supreme Court Justice William O. Douglas and other speakers at Amherst. SA also hopes to sponsor tobogganing this winter, and if the man-made lake freezes well, ice skating will be permitted. The possibility of athletic intramurals was also investigated, but there are no facilities for outdoor games since the ground is muddy and wet. Rich Turk, newly-elected President of the Clinton dormitory, said “it’s beyond the call of duty” for the SA to organize activities, and “it’s up to IRC to help us.” The recent dormitory elections in Amherst were poorly publicized by IRC, he said, with election notices posted the night before the election. As a result, only 35% of the Governors’ residents voted, compared to 60% in the Main Street dorms. In September, IRC showed movies at Amherst and provided buses to concerts, but Mr. Turk said these were “token activities.” However, now that the dormitory governments are set up and IRC has allotted $800 per dorm, Mr. Turk hopes activities will become more effectively organized.

Ndenge, who has had a hand in eight of the Bulls’ ten goals to date, was thrown out of “an illegal charge of the goalie.” The call more appropriately should have been “nudging an All-American goalie with a broken nose,” as the situation warranted nothing more than a warning and continuation of play. Buffalo forward Jim Young remarked: “Poor officiating is one of the things that hurt us most, especially when Jude was thrown out.” Amherst LAST 2 DAYS DOWNTOWN BUFFALO Eagle co-captain Tom Gentile praised the Bulls defense. “You gave us a much better game than Geneseo did, especially on defense,” said Gentile. Brockport defeated Geneseo 8-0 (the Bulls host the Knights on October 27). “1 was impressed by your fullbacks, but I think your biggest problems are on offense,” Gentile added. ■ SCHOOL OF MANAGEMENT RENSSELAER POL YTECHNIC INSTITUTE J for you and yours from small and I large presses; magazines, poetry,!

Rubin Spectrum Staff Writer The cross country Bulls closed the first half of the 1973 schedule by breaking a season-long losing streak as they swept a four way home meet against LeMoyne, St. Bonaventure, and RIT. Buffalo routed LeMoyne and RIT by scores of 16-42 and 18-41 and pulled out a 25-30 decision over the Bonnies. The Buffalo performance surpassed Coach Jim out McDonough’s expectations. Before the race, he commented, “We’ve got our work cut out for us. I think we can beat LeMoyne, and if we can beat one other team it’ll be a great day. It depends on the kind of race (Bob) Cohen, (Paul) Carroll, and (Bruce) Tuttle run.” Bull runners took five of the ten top spots in the field of 27 as team captain Bruce Tuttle paced the entire field with a time of 30:52.3. He explained his finish by noting: “I went out slower today.” return to McDonough's pre-season strategy. McDonough has stressed balance for the Bulls by trying to get his runners to stay together and help each other out. This element was missing throughout the year. However, in Saturday’s meet three Buffalo runners stayed together during the race and finished in the top ten. McDonough was happy and optimistic after the race. When asked if the win would change anything, he remarked: “Well, at least I won’t be so mean to my wife now that we won.” He also observed the race “was a real good effort by the first five as good as can be expected.” He then looked ahead to the last half of the season and predicted- “If we, can get at least four r ne last seven (meets), we’ll oe doing - okay.” Wednesday, the Bulls journey to Erie, Pa. to meet Edinboro and Gannon College. McDonough said Buffalo has “no chance” against Edinboro, but indicated the Bulls have a good possibility of beating Gannon.

Ford nominated as Vice-Pres. President Nixon nominated 60-year old Gerald R. Ford, the Republican leader in the House ofRepresentatives since 1965, to succeed Spiro Agnew as Vice-President in a nationwide address Friday night. Rising to tumultuous applause of government leaders in the White House East Room, Mr. Ford, a Michigan congressman for 25 years, said “I am extremely grateful and I am terribly humble.” If he is confirmed by Congress, Mr. Ford promised; “I will do my utmost to the best of my ability to serve my country well and to perform those with as much duties that will be my new assignment accomplishment as possible.” Mr. Nixon’s selection of the House Republican leader seemed to assure easy confirmation of his nominee by Congress. The President asked Congress to act expeditiously on his nomination of Mr. Ford, the first man ever nominated to fill a vacancy created by the resignation of an incumbent Vice-President. Mr. Ford is expected to ... Scandal ignored gain approval of a majority of both houses of Congress, as required by the 25th Amendment to the Constitution. Suspense mounts Mr. Nixon, who enjoyed building up the suspense prior to his announcement, first spoke of the challenges facing the nation and the need for strong leadership. He then outlined his three criteria for a new Vice-President: the man must be “qualified to be President,” must share Mr. Nixon’s views “on the critical issues of foreign policy and defense,” and be able to work with members of both parties in Congress. When he said his nominee had served in Congress for 25 years, the room broke into applause with all eyes on Mr. Ford. “Please don’t be premature,” Mr. Nixon quipped. “There are several here who have served 25 years in the House.” He then named Mr. Ford as his designee for the Vice-Presidency. No mention was made of Spiro Agnew, Mr. Nixon made only an oblique reference to the scandals that have plagued his Administration; he said it is vital that “we turn away from the obsessions of the past and turn to the great challenges we face.” A reception for Mr. Ford was held in the White House Blue Room following the television-radio address. have made up his mind at Mr. Nixon was reported about 7 a.m. following an overnight stay at Camp David, Maryland. He met with the House Republican leader at 11 a.m. to discuss procedures for the confirmation of his nominee by Congress, only telling Mr. Ford “he was one of those under consideration.” It was not until 7:30 p.m. that Mr. Ford received a call from the President’s chief of staff, Alexander M. Haig Jr., with the message that he had been chosen. White House informants said Mr. Nixon had come to depend on Mr. Ford, with whom he served in Congress in the 1950’s, as his most reliable informant on House opinion.

These are just a few of the proposals for majors mentioned in the “Evaluation of the Special Major Program” at the State University of Buffalo that was released this spring. The study was compiled by William Fritton, assistant to the Dean of the Division of Undergraduate Studies (DUS) and chairman of the Special Major Committee of DUS. A matriculated undergraduate at this University has the option of devising his own major “when the student’s specific educational or vocational objectives cannot be fully attained by study within existing departments, schools or programs.” , Surprising response By January 1973, 93 such major degrees had been granted. Questionnaires were sent to each of the students who had participated in the program, and 54.8% returned the completed forms. The purposes of this survey were: “to find out how such students fared in the job market and what types of jobs they were now performing; fo find out how many had been accepted into graduate schools, what graduate schools they were in, and what programs they were following; and to find out how the students themselves personally evaluated the Special Major program they had completed.” Mr. Frit ton indicated that he “really had not known what to expect in terms of findings” of his survey. He was surprised and pleased at the excellent rate of response. 33 (or 64.7%) of the respondents were working in jobs whether it had been a help, a “which were meaningful and hindrance, or no effect. 84.3% which were, in many cases, believed that the program had directly related to the main thrust helped them, 15.7% indicated that of their Special Major Programs.” it had had no effect on their Graduate school acceptance, vocational or educational goals, which was originally a worry, and “no respondent indicated that proved to be “higher than the the program had hindered.” national average” for graduates In view of these results, Mr. with Special Majors, since 56.9% Fritton feels it is a highly of the respondents were currently successful program. “It is toward advanced one of the newest, most working degrees. certainly sensational things we’re doing at Program successful the University and one of Those who completed the the most exciting phases of higher questionnaire were also asked to education,” he emphasized.

Non-majors limited in arts by Eve Meyerson Spectrum Staff Writer Undergraduates interested in taking courses as non-majors in the Theater, Music or Art Departments may find their opportunities limited. The University’s “worst aspect is its limited resources and its of seeing each department as alike in their need,” commented Gordon Rogoff, chairman of the Theater Department. This policy is extended as far as opening up auditions for departmental productions to the entire Buffalo community. The department’s policy recognizes that “people at age 17, 18 and 29 don’t know if they want theater,” explained Mr. Rogoff. He observed that it is more difficult to judge a person’s ability at an early stage, as is possible in music or art. People often haven’t had the exposure or the opportunity to participate in the theater before entering this University. Mr. Rogoff continued: “A history of production work reveals more than SO to S3% of those acting in our productions were non-majors. Casting is not necessarily out of the list of majors.” Admission to class is based on interviews and the student’s interest. Majors are not necessarily given priority over non-majors in classes arid the department is also trying to involve students in areas other than acting. The literature and history courses are opened to the entire University, although Mr. Rogoff suggested that anyone with an interest in the theater should register for “Introduction to Theater” (105). It is the only lecture course in the department and is opened to 250 people. The remainder of the department’s program is carried oh in the studio, workshop or in seminars. Constant striving “We’re constantly striving to accommodate the non-major,” said Robert Mols, director of Undergraduate Studies for the Music Department. “Any, in fact, every course is available to anyone who is qualified is eligible,” non-majors he said. Dr. Mols added that students must obtain the instructor’s permission. “Certain specialty courses such as performance, and small classes such as theory simply by the nature of the classes do have a priority structure. Music majors have the first option,” said Dr. Mols. For those students who have had any kind of musical background, Dr. Mols pointed out that the Music Department sponsors a number of student ensembles such as a jazz ensemble, a chamber music ensemble and a chorus open to the University community. The only qualification is that the student pass the auditions for admission to the particular group. For the student with no background at all, “Understanding Music" (US) requires no pre-requisites. The course is designed to teach the student' such fundamentals as reading music. However, Music professor Alan Sigel noted that while approximately 600 non-majors were taking music courses in 1968-70, roughly 100 are now. He believes the Music Department has become too professional-oriented at the expense of interested non-majors. ... f John Waters: striving for the total gross-out by Sparky Alzamora Spectrum Staff Writer - - Relevance questioned Although the department has been growing steadily since 1953, it is still unable to provide especially instrumental instruction instruction to everyone who asks for it. “Beginning instruction in performance at the college level has always been questioned as to its relevancy in relating to college instruction,” Dr. Mols commented. The College B program set up in conjunction with the Music Department has relieved some of the “performance problem.” The program enables a student with experience and a certain level of accomplishment on an instrument to earn credit by giving lessons to other interested students. Dr. Mols went on to say: “I think the idea is excellent because to a large extent it solves our problem and aids the student as well." A student can apply for instrumental lessons through the department but must take and pass the same audition required of any major. The audition is “purely advisory.” The student may be accepted for lessons or may be deferred until a later date when he or she would be able to auditipn again. - Stringent policy The Art Department has a .stringent policy regarding non-majors. There are “400 to 500 portfolios submitted each year;” about 50 people are accepted as majors into the department. ‘The problem we have is that no professor can handle more than 25 in a class,” an Art Department spokeswoman explained. This leaves a lot of students interested in art and photography unable to fully participate in the department. There are courses, however, such as oil painting, sculpture, drawing and photography, opened especially to the non-major. Interested students who find it difficult to get into these courses because of their popularity are encouraged to pursue similar sections in Millard Fillmore College. A portfolio is not required for admission to these night courses, and thr Competition for available places is less keen than in the day school. In contrast, the Theater Department’s policy is: within the limits of “Non-majors are welcome in any course for which they are staff and space qualified, and they have traditionally been a major element in the department’s activities.” — - Similar problems Each department is faced with similar problems of setting policy regarding majors and non-majors. The problem has been handled differently among various faculties with various budgets, although the departments seem to share one principle. The departments seem to favor maintaining high standards over accommodating every student interested in that department. In other words, given the limited funds and resources available, the departments have chosen “quality over quantity.” Page two The Spectrum Monday, 15 October 1973 . . - displayed murder, rape, sexual drug deviations, addiction, cannibalism, blasphemy, and all other sorts of delectable nonsense.

State University at Albany (SUNYA) student government president Steven Gerber has charged that some security officers on some SUNY campuses have not received the training necessary for bearing arms and making arrests. These charges come in the midst of debate on this campus as to how selective arming of Campus Security should be here. The implemented recommended for guidelines selective arming at this University state that the training received by those authorized to carry guns on this campus would be more stringent than that of the city or state police force. Mr. Gerber contends that the special training course for SUNY security officers does not satisfy a State Education Law, which states that training must consist of the “minimum training required for local police officers by the Police Municipal Training Council.” SUNY officials had believed a special four-week SUNY “Training' School for Officers” Campus Security fulfilled the requirements and enabled campus Security men to be classified as peace officers. Designated peace officers can execute arrests and carry firearms only with the approval of the local campus president. The State Division of Criminal Justice has been asked by the SUNY central administration to clarify the situation and determine whether a graduate of the SUNY course can bear arms and make arrests passed, there has still been no from any SUNY response officials. Mr. Gerber said the municipal police training law “is very explicit on hours and course required.” Campus training Security officers must take the courses required same for municipal police agencies. Many courses required for the peace officer designation, such as truck weighing and radar, are not necessary for the Campus Security officers, and yet, by law, must be taken, said Hugh J. Tuohey, a Division of Public SUNY Relations administrator. As of now, no ruling has been made, but decision any potentially could have a far reaching effect on many SUNY campuses. Guns have been purchased at the State University are being College at Cortland being debated at the State University at Stony Brook; and are already in use at SUNY at Albany. The SUNYA Senate passed a resolution calling for the suspension of firearms use until the local Board of Trustees ruled on the legality of the course given for peace officer status. - Use restricted Dr. Louis T. Benezet, President of SUNYA, then ordered college security officers to stop carrying guns except when large amounts of cash are transported, in response to a hold-up or in the execution of an arrest warrant. While security directors at Albany, Cortland, Stony Brook and Buffalo feel that without handguns the campus security force will remain dependent on the local community police, the sjnaller attitude SUNY at campuses, especially in rural areas, is the opposite. Security directors at small campuses, not faced with the high crime rate of larger ones, seem to be opposed to arming. In the words of one director, some security administrators on the smaller campuses “want nothing more than to enjoy a somewhat leisurely retirement.’’ vice-president Academic Affairs Bernard Committee.

The legal services conference held last Thursday and Friday at the State University of Buffalo Law School attracted lawyers and scholars throughout the country. According to Richard Schwartz, dean of this University’s law school, the conference sought to “develop the scholarly equipment” needed to achieve practical results in the area of legal services. By dealing with academic research as well as practical results, Dr. Schwartz hoped the conference would benefit all who attended. The subject of legal services has long been neglected but its importance is now being realized, said Barbara Currau of the American Bar Foundation (ABF). With the advent of the Office of Economic Opportunity (OEO) and the great expansion of local legal aid societies in the 1960’s, legal services to the poor were greatly increased. Middle income needs However, the legal services available to those of moderate income were in question, she said. In order to understand this aspect of legal problems, the ABF undertook a study to discover the complete legal experience of moderate income people. This study will not be completed for another 12 to 18 months, reported Ms. Curran. Quinton Johnstone of the Yale Law School, however, was critical of the ABF study. He argued the cost of the study ($425,000) was excessive for research that may be motivated by self-interest. He criticized the study as being no more than market research analysis of the middle-class for the legal profession. Legal services to the poor were improved by OEO, but, according to professor Harry Stumpf of the University of New Mexico, it did not fulfill all of its goals. However, he cited other positive and unexpected effects of the program. OEO generated the study of poverty law in law schools and made others conscious of the nexus between law and social change. In this way one could “get at the problems of poverty through the legal dimension.” said Dr. Stumpf. Wasted services Evolution of law schools revealed by Mark Kirschenbaum to go to law school,” Mr. Stevens Staff Writer stressed. He added that the selection of students for admittance to law schools is even more current. His research revealed that professors at law schools in the 1920’s were salaried through a percentage of student fees; these salaries varied yearly according to class size. were law schools Why founded? Why do people study law? How do law students feel about their education? These were some of the questions answered in a humorous lecture by Yale law professor Robert Stevens last v Thursday. \ Mr. Stevens’ speech, entitled.

These lawyers proved to be under-trained, incompetent and unethical. As a result, the American Bar Association (ABA) was formed. The ABA succeeded in forcing legislators to make law schools more ethical and thereby reduce the number of institutions. “It is a relatively recent thing Page four The Spectrum Monday, 15 October 1973 . . ,5Li S' "" Competitiveness rewarded At one time, Yale was losing students to Harvard, where the teaching of case method originated, Mr. Stevens related. As a result, Yale used a gimmick: it limited its class to 100 places even though it had never received that many applications. After this was publicized, the number of applications rose and it became increasingly more difficult to gain acceptance into the school. that group The student collaborated with Mr. Stevens for this study surveyed law students at eight schools during the period 1957 i to I960. Their results generally showed that the students lost interest in law school as they continued their studies. increasing This resulted in absenteeism, smaller amount of hours spent at work, and less class participation. Mr. Stevens implied that many students leave law school as ambitious and agressive indivduals, “like Bella Abzug,” regardless of how shy they were upon entering. Mr. Stevens’ speech included numerous (many anecdotes untrue) that mocked this nation’s history of the law profession. He described the birth of the unaccredited University of San Fernando Valley, saying that it became a law school after it could not meet California’s strict regulations for summer camps. He also laughed at the case method, which he said “proved to be an inefficient way to teach law, but helps us to think legally.” He added that the case method permits law schools to pack people into lecture halls, thereby increasing the student-to-faculty ratio. He said the building of larger rooms is all that is necessary to increase a school’s enrollment. Mr. Stevens is presently on a sabbatical Stanford from University and has just completed a book dealing with Medicaid. �Israelis reinforce northern front line Jordan entered the war Saturday, sending a detachment of-its “most efficient” troops into Syria to join the battle against Israeli forces advancing toward Damascus in the second week of the new Middle East conflict. Israel said its troops crushed two Iraqi brigades also sent to the aid of Syria. An Israeli armored spearhead was reported closing in slowly on Damascus, after pausing in its advance to smash a force of 13,000 to 15,000 Iraqi troops. The Syrian capital was now within range of the 17Smm Israeli howitzers as the Israeli spearhead inched ahead less than 20 miles from Damascus. In the Israeli view, Syria’s massive invasion of the Heights came dangerously close to succeeding. Hours after the opening shot was fired, advanced elements of the Syrian army penetrated to within sight of the Sea of Galilee, inside Israel proper. Were it not for the stand the Israelis made against 12-to-l odds, Syrian tanks could have rolled down the Heights across the narrow strip between the Sea of Galilee and the Mediterranean, and captured the Northern Sector of Israel. Israel aggressive Military analysts in Tel Aviv said Israel presently appears to be deploying most of its force against Syria, with plan to turn its full attention to Egypt if Syria falls. Israeli Defense Minister Moshe Dayan said Syrian forces are “running away” and he predicted Damascus, the Syrian capital, “will be in real danger.” The Israelis reportedly ordered fresh troops into the offensive, widened to encompass the entire 60-mile Golan Heights front. The Israelis said their pilots shot down 29 Syrian MIGs that challenged their slow but sure advance. It was decidely the single biggest one-day Israeli “kill” of the week-old war. An Israeli spokesman siad the first of two defense lines before Damascus had been cleared, said the first of two defense lines before Damascus had been cleared, a brigade under command of the brother of Syrian Presiden Hafez Assad. Syrian officials, however, denied Israeli claims of advances toward Damascus and maintained the Syrians were still besieging the Golan Heights town of Qneitra. They said fierce tank and artillery battles were in progress and reported they had shot down at least 35 Israeli warplanes. Additionally, the official Soviet Tass news agency Rolling toward Damascus The body of a Syrian tank crewman lies dead near his tank, knocked out by advancing Israeli forces. said a Soviet merchant ship was sunk by an Israeli attack on the Syrian port of Tartus and warned that Israel would face “grave consequences” if such incidents continued. The Tass statement said the Israeli shelling of Tartus caused the sinking of the ship, Ilya Medhnikov, which was unloading equipment for a hydroelectric project. Syrian government sources reported that although the vessel was set fire, all crewmen escaped injury. In Washington, Secretary of State Henry Kissinger said the United States would take a “firm stand” against any Soviet actions in the Mideast it feels are contrary to tension-easing agreements between Washington and Moscow. Kissinger told a news conference that the U.S. was unhappy over Russian statements and actions, but so far it had not reached a point where they would damage U.S.-Soviet understanding. He added that the principal U.S. objectives were to end the hostilities as quickly as possible in a manner “which will promote a lasting solution in the Middle East.” the shells was a response to the continuing shipment of ■Russian equipment to Syria and Egypt. They indicated the U.S. was basing the magnitude of its arms supply on that of the Soviets. James L. Buckley, Conservative Senator from New York, urged President Nixon to supply more military equipment to Israel. Contending that the equipment was needed to give the Israelis “the best possible chance of survival,” Mr. Buckley noted that Israel has been handicapped in the Mideast by not having the most U.S. aid However, according to Pentagon sources, the U.S. is preparing artillery shells and anti-tank ammunition for emergency transfer to Israel.

T, No cause for joy AOP 1 As if there was some cause for joy in naming a replacement for the man he hand-picked as Vice-President only to see him resign in disgrace. President Nixon nominated House Republican leader Gerald Ford in a feigned atmosphere of celebration. While we believe Mr. Ford was an excellent choice, and one who will have no trouble earning confirmation by Congress, the fact that he was the first man ever nominated to replace an incumbent Vice-President who resigned is hardly cause for rejoicing. Meanwhile, the Justice Department released evidence against Mr. Agnew which painted appalling scenes of men carrying envelopes of cash into the office of the Vice-President of the United States. The evidence detailed how Mr. Agnew extorted over $100,000 from engineering firms in Maryland in return for state contracts, and how the cash payments continued trough last December. It depicted the Vice-Presidency as imposing upon Mr. Agnew, not a wealthy man, a lifestyle he couldn't afford. Unfortunately, a ghetto dweller in Harlem caught stealing $50 from a grocery store could use the same excuse. Many p6tty thiefs are sent to jail for years because they stole money to eat. Mr. Agnew, who espoused the virtues of law and order and inveighed against permissiveness, has actually been on the take for years; but his privileged position enabled him to cop a plea and avoid imprisonment. As if to explain why the President conspicuously avoided mentioning Mr. Agnew's resignation, it has been revealed that Mr. Nixon himself initiated the plea bargaining in which Mr. Agnew traded his office for his freedom. This lends credence to our allegations that the Justice Department, whose case against Mr. Agnew was so air-tight that they could have easily obtained a conviction, was pressured into the sordid deal by Mr. Nixon to spare himself political embarassment. Meanwhile, a federal Appeals Court ordered Mr. Nixon to turn over the Watergate tapes to a grand jury, after editing for relevance by U.S. District Judge John Sirica and special prosecutor Archibald Cox. Rejecting the President's claims of absolute executive privilege, the Appeals Court decision will now send the case to the Supreme Court, which has traditiinally chosen the middle ground when faced with wide-ranging constitutional disputes. The High Court will likely order Mr. Nixon to release the tapes through some compromise formula on narrow legal grounds. The President's refusal would surely invite impeachment by Congress. While the tapes have been regarded as the missing key in a mystery story, it must be remembered that 1) they may already have been doctored, 2) they may contain nothing relevant, and 3) a President who knew his Oval Office was wired would not be so foolish as to make statements implying his own guilt during taped conversations. Whatever clarification the tapes provide of conflicting Watergate testimony is relatively insignificant compared to atrocities such as the secret bombing of Cambodia. The more basic issue is not what the tapes contain, but Mr. Nixon's refusal to release them under court order, thus claiming he is above the law. Two courts have thus far rejected that Presidential claimflf he refuses a similar ruling from the third, he will either be impeached, or future Presidents and high officials will know they can capriciously break the law and escape punishment.

You don’t hit a man when he is down and now out. But if America is ever to master its tawdry venalities, it will not be by bowing our heads in public unction, as most of the politicians are doing, and saying how saddening it is, and what a fine fellow and friend Ted Agnew was. In human terms it is sad, as every fall from high place is sad. What makes it especially sad is that Agnew seemed part of the American dream a boy of immigrant stock, making his way up the greasy pole of success without being part of the Insider’s Club, until the Nixon lightning struck him in 1968. But in civic terms, which affect the body politic, it is not just saddening but exasperating and desolating. It leaves so many unanswered whys; Why he did it in the first place, why he continued to receive payments (according to the Justice Department summary) even while he was Vice President, why he put on the public display of outraged virtue (“damned lies”) when the charges broke, why he went through the charade of attacking the men in the Justice Department for doing their public duty, why he braved it out and promised he wouldn’t resign even if indicted. The answer to most of these questions, one gathers, is the moldy chestnuf of the so-called tough that what counts is not what political professional you do but what you get away with. By this reasoning it isn’t venality which is wrong, but getting caught and clipped for it. You deny, you maneuver, you shift from defensive to offensive, you appeal to the public, you try to get Congress to bail you out and when everything fails, you make the best possible deal and resign. It is anything but inspiring. The young people whom Agnew lectured about morality and and patriotism must be pretty dazed today bitter. So must the newspapermen contemptuously at the press conferences at which he displayed his dazzling pyrotechnics of defense and attack. So must the audiences of the party faithful who cheered the bravado of his last public speeches before the pathos of his final appearance in the Baltimore courtroom. One may well say that Agnew did no differently from the ordinary run of politician, businessman, petty union official, or the cheating husband or wife. - — — If io-w gw* Too much energy To the Editor.

I have never passed 'any rules about grade changes. The procedure for grade changes was set years ago before I took office. Furthermore, the “strictness” of my office is adequately reflected by the fact that between June 18, 1973 and September 18, 1973, we received a total of 384 grade change requests out of which 7 were rejected. 2. The rules on the dates by which Pass/Fail options must be set were set by the Faculty Senate, not by my office. Since I credit you, too, with open-mindedness and honesty, I hope you will accept these corrections in good spirit since your statements given to The Spectrum (if given in tjiat form) were - “Be your age,” 1 hear some of my readers say: “This is how life is.” Again I make the distinctionbetween private moral shortcuts and essential civic honesty and openness. Without trust and decency neither the public nor private sector can keep from falling apart, but the public sector is on display and more vulnerable. Morality must begin in the individual life, but it won’t stand much chance there unless it is upheld in its public tests. The Agnew case was such a test, as Watergate has been. Some things have worked out in the Agnew business. The press didn’t get scared off and continued its scrutiny. The Justice Department stuck to its guns, and in the case as compared with came well. Watergate through The House of leaders refused to Representatives’ panic. The grand and court have worked. jury process Finally, here we are with the 25th Amendment at hand for its first test in the vice presidential succession. But the test had better be made not with petty political perspectives but in the large spirit, generously, with the full knowledge that it will serve as precedent. By which I mean the Vice Presidency is nothing to play politics withAt every political convention we do the Vice Presidency an indignity by leaving the choice of candidate until the last minute, and picking him by deal and guess. The Eaglet on episode was a dramatic example. But the choice of Agnew in 1968 and again in 1972 was, if anything, worse. The focus was on getting someone with whom the South and the conservativew could feel safe. In 1968, the Nixon managers may have been too hurried to probe Agnew’s Maryland record. But that was scarcely a good reason in 1972, after four years. Right now, the Democratic leaders in Congress are worried because the name Mr. Nixon sends up to them as Agnew’s successor may become a formidable man to beat in 1976. This is good politics, but narrow. The thing to remember is that a Vice President is not only a potential presidential candidate, but more immediately he is the man who may succeed to the hot seat. Don’t play party politics, but pick the man who could best succeed you: That is my plea to President Nixon. And my plea to Congress? Don’t reject a good man simply because he might be hard to beat in 1976. It is better to have as a potential President someone hard to beat than someone whose hand will falter at the helm in a future as stormy as the present - — -Copyright 1973, Los Angeles Times incorrect.

First of all, I do not think profs view themselves this way; most are willing to concede ignorance. Secondly, the teacher’s job (as 1 see it) is to transmit the knowledge and methods of reaching that knowledge he knows. If he appears as a “fountain” it is probably more due to the student’s ignorance than to the teacher’s omniscence. 2) Granted, grades are a form of reward. But repeating the well-worn phrase “since when will an A ...” offers nothing as a functional replacement. ) 3) “Interaction with people and emotions” are not things to be taught in the academic framework of the University.

Major revamping of the admissions policies of the Faculty of Natural Science and Mathematics has met with “great enthusiasm,” said Provost George Nancollas. According to the new guidelines, a prospective student must indicate his scientific interest on the regular admissions application. These applications will be screened by faculty members, who then contact the student and explain the program. If the student expresses a continuing interest in SUNYAB, he is invited to tour the University’s facilities. In this manner, Dr. Nancollas hopes some of these students might enroll at the State University ofBuffalo instead of another institution.

Advance planning “It will take a lot of manpower to initiate the program,” Dr. Nancollas said, “and much time will be spent in setting up and conducting the tours.” Members of the faculty are already being recruited. Questioned why the changes were made, Dr. Nancollas stated: “I would like to see the highest caliber students attending this University.” The Faculty consists of seven science and mathematic departments, including chemistry, biology, geology, physics, statistics, computer science and mathematics. Besides striving to bring the science-oriented student in close proximity to the professors, the faculty advises those students that are in need of counseling. Dr. Nancollas indicated. Additionally, several other programs are presently in progress. Some of these programs deal with seminars conducted by world famous scientists while others are tours and lectures. George Nancollas �New program universities have ad-hoc major programs, and “there is no program in the country exactly like ours.” On December 5, 1968, the Faculty Senate passed a proposal that would allow students to design their own fields of concentration if they so desired. The Special Major Program was officially approved by the Office of the Provost, State University of New York, on January 28, 1970, and the first degrees were awarded in June 1970. Coming thing Fritton Mr. continued: “Recent evidence indicates that the special major is the coming thing in higher education. Our program offers a quality degree, an individualized degree, to students who have a serious and in mind.” definite purpose Although the job market cannot be accurately predicted, he felt students have designed majors which are often “vocationallyoriented in the broadest sense of the term.” The more specific a major is, the more beneficial it is for getting a good job. DUS will continue to compile data on graduates of the Special Major Program. It is projected that a survey of this kind will be conducted once every two years. A total of 63 students are currently enrolled in the program. The fields of inquiry cover a broad range of topics from Rehabilitation of the Deaf to Photography and Mass Media. However, not that many requests for special majors are received by DUS. From January through June 1973, 70 proposals were received. were deferred until Many recommended changes had been made, but the majority were The ultimately accepted. approved special major proposal becomes part of the student’s the record at permanent University. Paving the way “Since we were one of the forerunners, Fritton were no “There explained, previously established formats or for guidelines requirements. rr.'” 1*'" procedures, etc., so we had to device our own.” Having a special major proposal accepted, he added, is no easy task, but “very difficult and time-consuming for the student.” screening procedures are as those for regular departments. One of the most vital criteria used in evaluating a student’s special major proposal is that “the student must justify the proposal academically. He must do this by what indicating specifically educational or vocational goals the major, is designed to fulfill and how this cannot be done through a regular department or division of the University.” Procedures for submitting a special major proposal is outlined by the Special Major Program Bulletin issued by DUS. “The student must have a 2.5 average overall, as well as a 2.5 average in courses already taken in his special major concentration at the time he submits his proposal. The student works out his proposal in conjunction with two faculty sponsors of at least assistant professor rank and submits it [through his academic advisor] to the Special Major Committee. The gives then its committee recommendation to the dean of DUS, who makes the final determination on the proposal and so notifies the student.” A student may not enter the Special Major Program before the end of his freshman year. Students are advised to decide on their Special Majors before the end of their junior year, although, cases, the committee may in consider proposals up until six months before the date the degree is expected. “A basically strong and quite Mr. original program” was Fritton’s description of the Special Major Program. His foundation for this feeling comes from statements from the special majors themselves. “Learning to cope with the system is not enough," surmised one special major, “but to learn t» rise above the system and in doing it with emerge something worthwhile can be a basis for a measure of success.” Anti-arming meeting The Students Against Armed Security will hold a meeting on Monday, October IS at 7 p.m. in Room 240 Norton to plan future actions.

Mr. Thompson said Mr. Agnew “is a crook, no question about that at all. If that case had gone to trial and if those witnesses had testified as they said they would, a conviction would have resulted.” He added: “I have never seen a stronger case of bribery or extortion.” George Beall, U.S. Attorney in Maryland, who began the investigation against Mr. Agnew last August, also felt that. the former Vice-President had been treated too leniently. All federal charges against Mr. Agnew have been dropped. The possibility still exists that proceedings could begin against Mr. Agnew for tax violations at the state level. As of now, however, no such action has been taken. It is unlikely that proceedings will ever get under way since the statute of limitations in the case will expire by the end of this month. Mr. Agnew has remained quiet since last Wednesday when he “categorically” denied the bribery and extortion charges to newsmen He has not since attempted to refute any of the evidence presented by the Justice Department. • ANACONE'S INN LOOK page . 4:00 p.m. 7:00 p.m. 4iOO p.m. Monday, 15 October 1973 The Spectrum Page nine . . �Overwhelmi\ OVERSEAS STUDY vote Bulls opt for Division One in NCAA membership poll by Dave Geringer Sports Editor In response to a recent membership poll of the National Collegiate Athletic Association, the Bulls have elected to be placed in the NCAA’s Division One. The Bulls had been participating in the University (major) Division of the NCAA since 1962. Varsity football had been granted “major” status at that time. ‘The coaches voted overwhelmingly to go to Division One,” said athletic director Harry Fritz. “Then the faculty committee on athletics met and voted for Division 6ne. On the basis of the sentiment expressed, I recommended to Dr. Ketter that the University cast its lot with Division One. “You had some small schools who had as much power as big schools in the NCAA /’.explained Dr. Fritz. “When the larger schools proposed legislation that would be favorable to them, the small schools voted it down.

Hockey, fencing and indoor track will not be affected by the legislation they will remain in one open division. Dr. Fritz felt that scheduling would have been a problem had the Bulls elected Division Two or Three. “If we had elected Division Two, we might have been denied good scheduling, especially in basketball,” assessed Dr. Fritz. “We probably couldn’t schedule Brown, Colgate and Cornell, for example, because Division One will probably require its member schools to play a large percentage of games within that division.” Bull wrestling coach Ed Michael also speculated about the effect Division Two status might have had upon his program. “I think that there would be advantages and disadvantages,” said Michael. “It would be easier to place wrestlers in the top six finishers in the college division tournament, but tougher to get into the nations (Division One University Division tournament). It also might hurt our recruiting. I think that a university of this size, by its very nature and desire to present a top-rate program, would almost be committed to Division One.” Monday Room 231 Norton Hall 3:30 p.m. S.A.-G.S.A.

The Bulls finished the fall season with an 11-2 record. However, this record does not some include disappointing finishes in several tournaments. Playing in a match that had little meaning for except statistical purposes, the Bulls were to the St. superior far Bonaventure team. The match had been scheduled to fill a one-week break between the ECAC Qualifying Tournament, held last weekend at Syracuse, and the ECAC Championships at Sutton, Massachusetts played this past weekend. The Bulls were to have used this match as a warmup for the championships had they qualified in Syracuse. Gallery paces Bulls As was the case for most of the season, Jim Gallery topped the Bulls with a five-over-par 75. Marty Fink, who shot a 76, played his best golf of the season in the last few matches. Fink barely failed to qualify for the individual championships. A 74 was needed to qualify. Fink, Buffalo’s only graduating player noted: “I missed a two-foot putt and three putted the 16th at the finals.” Gallery also commented on his play at the qualifiers. “I didn’t like the course and I didn’t play well. However, the course shouldn’t make any difference if you’re shooting well,” Gallery added. Bulls Coach Bill Dando stated: “We had a pretty good year even though we didn’t do well in tournament play.” The Bulls placed ninth at the Tri-State Tournament, seventh at the Brook Lea Invitational and tied for fourth at the ECAC Qualifying Tournament. The Bulls have scheduled njatches for the short spring season with Bowling Green, Rochester and RIT. They will also be playing in the Florida Invitational during the Easter vacation.

CUtMFIEB by Dave Geringer The determination of the Bulls to remain in Division One in the NCAA’s new structure was more than just a confirmation of the Bulls’ present status. It was a necessary step that had to be taken if a viable inter-collegiate athletic program was to be maintained. Should the Bulls have opted for Division Two or Three, scheduling almost certainly would have presented a problem. Replacing Syracuse, Cornell and Colgate on the basketball schedule with lesser-known, inferior opponents would not have helped the Bulls’ chances for a tournament selection in future years that might put Buffalo on the basketball map. A greater problem was the possibility that Buffalo would have been able to “play up” to Division One in only one sport if Division Two or Three was chosen. The baseball Bulls, perennial powers in New York and always a contender for a berth in the NCAA District Two tournament, would not have been able to return there. Buffalo has been selected to the NCAA District Two tournament in two of the past three seasons. Had the Bulls not elected to “play up” in baseball, they would have found themselves relegated to the college division tournament along with a possible loss of several opponents on their schedule. The Bulls would lose one of the few inducements that enable /them to grab the cream of the Western New York baseball crop each year (excepting professional signees). The wrestling Bulls, also a team without any financial aid, would probably find themselves in a similar situation. Any wrestlers who attend Buffalo can be assured of a topflight schedule and exposure in the NCAA’s major tournament if they qualify. The excellent wrestlers recruited during the last few seasons might choose different schools if the Bulls’ status dropped to Division Two. In addition, the Bulls have sent golfers and trackmen to individual championships during the past few seasons. The Bulls’ Division One status will insure that the Buffalo athletes who qualify for these x, individual championships will be able to compete. A proposal almost passed at the NCAA Convention would have added basketball as a sport in which a school may “play up.” This would have undoubtedly been tailor-made for a “one-sport” school such as Niagara, St. Bonavehture or Canisius. These universities could have elected Division One in basketball and Division Three in other sports. Such a proposal would not have helped the Bulls in the least. The fact that Buffalo fields competitive teams in many sports is one of the strengths of the Bulls athletic program. As wrestling Coach Ed Michael said: “A university of this size, bjr its desire to present top-rate programs, is almost committed to Division One.” Gustav — AUTHENTIC NAVAJO JEWELRY silver A turquoise directly from artist's shop on reservation.

Km V- �Effective in June Ebert leaves DUS position “I never intended to be a career administrator,” explained Dr. Ebert matter of factly. Charles H.V. Ebert will resign as Dean of the Division of Undergraduate Studies (DUS) effective June 30, 1974. Dr. Ebert stepped in as acting undergraduate dean following the resignation of Gaude Welch in September of 1970. Dr. Welch’s sudden departure prompted a good deal of controversy at the time, Reward A $25 reward is being offered for informationleading to the arrest and conviction of any person or couldn’t help but make him hesitate as to which ; route to follow.” persons in connection with the burglary of the Norton Music Roori oft Saturdayi October 6x Gaft - Campus Security at 831-S559. Dr. Welch said being an administrator was analagous to “serving time.” Dr. Ebert’s description; “It’s like shovelling sand with a teaspoon when you need a shovel.” Most individuals who are familiar with DUS agreed that a large amount of red tape and bureaucracy is involved with anything they do. According to Dr. Ebert, innovative ideas arc stifled by bureaucracy. As an example, he cited the failure to implement the faculty-wide major. Major delays Originally Dr. Ebert’s idea, the faculty-wide major would allow a student to have a major field of study under one of the University faculties, such as Social Sciences, and docs not have to fall within a specific discipline. The prospect of faculty-wide majors has. been passed from one academic committee to another for a year now. Dr. Ebert does not expect it to be ready for implementation until well after his resignation. Bob Kole, Student Association Academic Affairs coordinator, felt that at times Dr. Ebert has been too strict with rules concerning grade changes and late dates for pass-fail courses. However, Mr. Kole admits that Dean Ebert faced enormous problems. “Dean Ebert has made some valid criticisms.

Throughout my deanship, 1 have enjoyed an excellent relationship with the present administration, with the majority of the faculty, and, above all, with the student body.’’ Dr. Ebert denied that there was any pressure to resign. “In fact,” he indicated, “they desired me to mainly due to speculation that his resignation was not entirely voluntary.

(UDC) for the benefit of students was adopted by FSA Tuesday. The wording of the resolution was finalized after a brief recess was called at the urging of Graduate (GSA) Student Association Senator John Greenwood. Dr. Kettcr had threatened to adjourn the meeting if Sub Board’s attorney Nick Sargent continued to insist that a Sub Board version of the amendment be adopted. Sub Boqrd wanted a binding contract signed between the two organizations that would guarantee the establishment of a trust fund. According the the FSA amendments,, the money would supposedly be administrated by organization the most representative of the students. Sub Board considers itself that organization. The Sub Board amendment would put the proceeds into an independent trust fund for programs benefiting the students. linker, Student Kenneth The Spectrum it published three timet e week, on Monday, Wednesday and Friday, during the regular academic year; and once a week, on Friday, during the summer months; by Sub-Board I, Inc. of the State University of New York at Buffalo.

The faculty and administrative members of FSA said the money should be spent solely to benefit the students. However, they hope to maintain some control over expenditures. One argument for not subjecting the money to complete student control was that while the bulk of the $786,000 purchase price of the land in 1964 came from the student fees, the students who paid the money are now alumni.

Military spokesmen in Tel Aviv said Israeli ground troops crossed the Suez Canal in a lightning raid into Egypt early yesterday and its warships bombarded three Syrian ports along the Mediterranean coast. France offers aid The Israeli announcement of Syrian drive gave no indication how the troops were faring, but said Israel paved the way by air raids against every Syrian military airfield, including Damascus airport, as well as power stations and oil dumps. France offered its help in aiding the Middle East war Wednesday but there were was still nor formal move to reconvene the Security Council, which met twice in fruitless debates on the the issue. countries met Non-aligned privately Wednesday and adopted a negative resolution condemning Israel and demanding it withdraw its troops from all occupied Arab territory as a condition for a cease-fire. The world’s most powerful permitted into the war zone. land suffers major set-back Egyptian artillery arid infantry units pushed across the Suez last Saturday, while the Israeli state commemorated the Jewish Day of Atonement, Yom Kippur. Arab attacks were initially successful and the Israeli defenders were forced to pull back from the Line, Bar-lev their original defensive position. The line consisted of heavily fortified positions that had been erected after the 1967 six-day war. Israeli failure to hold the line has been interpreted as a major set-back. Arab and Israeli sources differ on just how far the Egyptian armored units have pushed into the Sinai. The Arabs claim that their forces have the Israelis on the run, but the Israelis claim that the arrival of reinforcements has allowed them to check the Arab advance. Heavy losses have been reported on both sides. Unofficial sources list Eygptian tank losses at as many as thirty for the first five days of fighting. The Pentagon has estimated Egyptian air losses at several hundred planes. The battle for the Golan Heights has been just as intense. The elevated area commands the frontier between Israel and Syria, and is considered vital by both sides. The Israeli army brought up heavy reinforcements over the weekend and has apparently succeeded in driving back the Syrian invaders. Qneitra, the only major town in the area, has been recaptured from the Syrians and is now under the control of the Israeli army. Asked if he considered the - council helpless to do anything about the war, a British spokesman replied: “At this moment, yes.” The war continues to be fought on two fronts: the Golan Heights in the Northeast, and the Sinai coast of the Suez Canal in the south. Information is slow in coming because press coverage of the fighting has been severely restricted. Neither side was willing to allow on the spot coverage of the battle because of the harm it could do to morale of the fighting forces. The major source of information has been official government releases, which have MD ■N Town of Amherst and Urban Development Corporation (UDC) officials continued to indicate today that the storm raised by disclosures of the proposed sale of Faculty-Student Association (FSA) owned land to UDC had dissipated. Questions still remain as to why such a furor arose in the first place. The fact that FSA had wanted to divest itself of its Amherst property had been known for at least two years. One of the primary reasons for the divorce of Sub-Board I from its parent FSA in 1971 was to create an independent student corporation that would represent the student body and could receive ownership of the land. Soon after, FSA treasurer Edward Doty asked for a legal memorandum from State University of New York (SUNY) Counsel’s office in Albany. The response explained why the land could not be transferred to Sub-Board I outright. Reasons offered included a statement that it was not clear that student funds had been used exclusively for the original purchase; that even if only student fee money was used, it was money from students no longer attending the school, and finally, a not-for-profit corporation such as FSA could not divest itself of a substantial part of its assets without reasonable Planned funeral? It may be that business interests in the Buffalo area were trying to kill the land deal. If FSA had agreed to sell the land to a private concern, UDC would have been forced to lay out an even higher amount than the $ 1.67 million it has agreed to pay if compensation. Strategy altered The strategy of FSA and Sub-Board then changed. Both groups agreed that the land should be sold and that the proceeds should be used for the benefit of students. Though the last two years have seen sporadic discussion of an acceptable definition of that desire, no concrete agreement between the organizations emerged on the meaning of “benefit of students.” FSA felt it should keep control of the assets derived from the sale of the land. Sub-Board had different plans. First, Sub-Board argued the entire gain from the sale should be placed in the hands of the student corporation. This position later evolved to the establishment of an independent trust fund to oversee the use of the earnings. FSA took the position that the money should not necessarily be deposited in a trust, but that the earnings would be distributed to the organization most representative of students for as long as the representative. remained FSA organization continued to feel that this was the way the money should be used. Plans unsettled • Late last year, FSA began actively seeking bids from interested purchasers. In August, UDC was informed that its proposal was acceptable and that a final contract proposal could be drafted. On September 7, the FSA Board of Directors met in it decided to buy the land from the new owner at a later date. Needless to say, this intermediary would have stood to make a fair profit for its efforts. A direct FSA-UDC deal eliminates this possibility. Now that correct information has reached the parties involved, predictions of an early end for the transaction have subsided and everyone has adapted a wait-and-see attitude until UDC chief executive executive session and approved the proposed sale to nations, however, offered no Iraq ready to declare war As many at 16,000 Iraqi proposals and the big ‘'neutral bloc” also failed to advance a soldiers have been sent into Syria specific method to restore peace to bolster that country’s line of to the area. had serious disagreements concerning the initial Audubon project which resulted in the signing of a contract between the two groups stating, among other things, that taxes would continue to be assessed on UDC property for six years and any development outside the authorized areas would need prior approval of the Amherst Town Board. “We weren’t going to conclude anything without consulting the Town Board,” added Mr. Mackin. The situation was complicated by confusing side issues which indicated at the time that SSOO.OOO of FSA money was missing and that 29 acres of land had been slyly “sold” without any notification since 1964, when FSA originally bought the land. It turned out that the confusion over the price recorded in FSA records at $786,000 for the original purchase and the various lower figures which appeared in local papers resulted from an inaccurate compilation of tax stamps on the transfer deeds and mortgages, from which the sale price was calculated. It also appeared that the original purchase figure of 534 acres in the local press was conjured up in some mysterious manner. FSA and Town records have always shown that no more than 511 acres was ever owned by FSA. defense. The government of Iraq has refrained from declaring war qgainst Israel but appears ready to do so if the Israeli troops push in Syria. After several days of intense battle the Israeli Air Force was able to exert its dominance. They have cleared the skies over the Middle East of nearly all Arab aircraft. Israeli losses, however, have been heavy. Most of the losses have been inflicted by SAM Russian-made missiles. Israeli jets returning home with SAM missiles in hot pursuit have been a familiar sight to those along the battle lines. The losses have cut hard —continued on page 8— ON 'S now APPEARING AT THE UDC. Plans for distribution of the proceeds from the sale were still left unsettled. When the story was leaked to the Buffalo media, in response to The Spectrum ’j decision to print the story last Friday, incomplete facts were pieced together to present an innaccurate picture of the current negotiation between FSA and UDC. “We thought a binding contract had been signed,” revealed AmherstDeputy Town Attorney John Lane. “We were only aware of what was in the paper.” At that time, the Town Board had decided to ask Governor Rockefeller and state legislators to intervene to revoke the sale. Actually, UDC had only agreed to draw up a formal contract proposal. officer and president Edward J. Logue comes to Buffalo next week to explain the UDC position and plans for the land. The Amherst Town Board will make a final decision after that meeting, according to Mr. Lane. All parties involved, UDC, FSA and Amherst now indicate that the situation wasn’t as bad as originally thought and the deal will eventually be okayed. The controversy that remains will be the most inflammatory: what will really happen with the proceeds of the sale and who will make that decision? Consultation forthcoming “We haven’t done anything violative of our agreement with Amherst,” stated UDC public relations officer Robert Mackin.

The major aim of this program, still under formulation, is to stress preventive a family orientation, mainly by developing the new position of “family health neighborhood worker.” This visit will representative care' with residents in their homes, attempting to combine education with medical treatment. community Cultural gap emphasized Dr. Staub feels that doctors and nurses are not the ones to reach out to the community if a cultural gap exists between themselves and the community. One example of this gap relates to nutrition. In order for a staff member to encourage healthy nutritional practices, a knowledge of the basic dietary habits of the community is essential. A worker from the community would be in the best position to do such work. In 1976, the pediatrics clinic will move to the new building presently under construction Meyer, providing more work-space. Additional space will be provided when an old school located on the hospital grounds isrenovated. Previously a school for handicapped children, its facilities will be partially used to extend training professional the behind programs. The Meyer clinic is presently designed to allow for the most efficient utilization of the space available. Each room is equipped to accommodate a baby or an adolescent. All the equipment used during checkups is in each room so children are not left unattended in the halls. Six medical students, one resident from the children’s hospital, and several student nurses work with the regular staff, who doublecheck the student’s work. Patients main concern Nurses are granted much leeway in dealing with their patients. Dr. Staub maintained that this policy allows the staff to devote as much attention to the patients as possible. For example, nurses wouldn’t ordinarily have to get a special prescription for aspirin from the doctor if a child required it. They also offer much advice to parents over the phone, such as instructions for bringing down a fever. The clinic is open from 8 a.m. to 11 p.m. The late-night hours accommodate working parents, and for those who need medical help after these hours, the hospital emergency room is open 24 hours a day. Ambulance or police transportation can be arranged in emergencies. Meyer’s pediatric clinic attempts to deal with its patients as total individuals, rather than from a purely medical viewpoint, stressed Dr. Staub. He would like to see better services for especially young adolescents, pregnant girls. Another goal is the strengthening of the professional teaching services for medical students. John Flom, who works with students at the clinic, is trying to further develop the role of nurse practitioners. They function between the status of a doctor and a nurse, specifically as child health specialists. Dr. Flom also directs the William Street Clinic, which is affiliated with the hospital but is situated directly in the community. That clinic’s goal is to raise the level of community care to that of Meyer. The staff of Meyer’s Pediatric Clinic is an example of the current trend in medicine, as well as other fields, attempting to deal with the individual on a comprehensive basis and to become an integral part of community life. Dr. Staub believes that so far the clinic has been highly successful in meeting the needs of its patients and with further financial support, the hopes for the future are unlimited. �President Nixon moved quickly yesterday to select a new Vice-President in the wake of Agnew’s resignation Spiro Wednesday. Mr. Nixon called for recommendations from of Congress, Republican members gpvernqrs and others, and press , said, the secretary Ron , .quickly would act to President submit his nominee to Congress. Under the 25th Amendment to the Constitution, the President’s choice for a Vice-Presidential vacancy must be approved by a majority of both houses of Congress. Congressional Democrats said they would act quickly on the nominee; the Senate cancelled a sceduled two-week recess. Senator Hubert Humphrey (D., Minn.) suggested that the House and Senate form a joint committee to expedite consideration of the rather nominee, than have separate hearings. The former Vice-President is insisting, along with many other Democrats, that the nominee be a man without Presidential aspirations for 1976. Senate majority leader Mike' Mansfield (D., Mont.) said the choice of former Treasury Secretary John Cormally or Governor Ronald California Reagan, both men with 1976 ambitions, would provoke a fight from Senate Democrats. Similar indications came from leading House.

He said that Mr. Nixon established three qualifications for his nominee; “First of all, that the person be well qualified to be President of the United States, and he does not automatically rule out someone who might be a candidate in 1976 “Secondly, the nominee’s view on foreign policy and domestic policy should generally coincide with his so the Vice-President would support him. “And, thirdly, of course, it’s got to be a nominee who can win the support of both the House and Senate.” The President’s choice is now expected this weekend or the first of next week. must ...

The FSA is not very representative of either faculty or students, since neither group has any real power in that organization. Instead, it is virtually dominated by this Univeristy's administration: five of the nine on the board of directors are high-ranking administrators, and University President Robert Ketter is also the FSA's president. While three students sit on FSA, they seem powerless as the Administration bends that body to its will. Since most students care little about such details unless the dealings affect them personally, the tendency is to say: "Who cares?" But FSA is responsible for running the vending services, the Bookstore and Food service, and these are enterprises that do affect students directly. While FSA has not been overtly antagonistic to students, it has traditionally adopted a paternalistic attitude of we know what's best for you. The details surrounding the sale of the 505 acres of FSA land to the state Urban Development Corporation have been both confusing and politically tinged, but this could be attributed to the business tactics and political pressures that inevitably accompany a land deal of this size. Students could tolerate these things with the knowledge that proceeds from the $1.67 million sale would eventually be used for their benefit. But now that assumption has come into question; more specifically, exactly what is going to happen to the money? A little background is in order. In 1964 FSA was the depository for student activity fees, and it was largely with student monies that FSA purchased the Amherst land. The primary reason that Sub-Board I was divprced from its parent FSA in 1971 was so that an independent student corporation could attain control of the land. But a 1971 memo from the SUNY Counsel's office in Albany, requested by FSA treasurer Ed Doty, said the land could not be transferred because student monies had not been exclusively used for the purchase, and that the fees were from students who no longer attended the school. Thus the land transfer was vetoed on narrow legal grounds despite the fact that without student monies, FSA could never have purchased the land. There was speculation that the Albany memo was tailor-made for Administration desires to retain control of the land. Sub-Board then argued that when the land was sold, the proceeds should be turned over to them; this was later modified into a request for an independent trust fund to administer the money. At the last FSA meeting, Sub-Board insisted on a binding contract between itself and FSA that would guarantee the establishment of an independent trust fund. FSA resisted; Or. Ketter threatened to adjourn the meeting; FSA finally passed a meaningless resolution of intent promising to spend the money for the "benefit of students." FSA said the money would be administered by the organization "most representative" of students. They offered no criteria or elaboration for determining such a group. Mr. Doty assessed that students want a binding agreement because "if this is not put into contract form, the FSA can change its mind as to the administration of the money in the future." He is exactly right. Why is FSA adopting such a over-protective stance? How can they insist on conceding the money to the organization "most representative" of students and not elaborate any futher? Sub-Board I, for all its problems, was created as the organization representative of all students, and by virtue of its constituency of all six student governments, it is that organization. Why won't FSA agree to allow Sub-Board to administer the trust fund? The reasons are obvious. FSA enjoys the position of holding onto the strings; it doesn't want to let go. FSA is dominated by the Administration, which doesn't want to surrender the $1.67 million to student control, even though student fees made possible the land purchase and its subsequent sale. Whether FSA is holding on because it mistrusts students, is suspicious of Sub-Board, out of misguided paternalism or a simple desire to keep its hands in the cookie jar, is beside the point. The proceeds from the land sale belong to students. We urge FSA to make a firm commitment to use the money to establish a trust fund to be placed under student control.

In The Spectrum of September 28, 1973 and October 5, 1973 and in the Reporter of October 4, 1973, there appears a misconception which should not be allowed to continue to muddy the somewhat troubled discussions of the issue of arming Campus Security personnel which have taken place and are likely to continue. The misconception revolves around the difference between the committee’s responsibility to recommend and the President’s responsibility to decide. In the public hearing of September 25, I repeatedly attempted to make that distinction, and I must take some responsibility for not having gotten the message across. In particular, my initial statement that the hearing was intended to discuss the guidelines for arming rather than the question of arming itself, that the recommendation to arm had been made in a committee report a year ago, and that the decision whether to arm was the President’s to make and not the committee’s, resulted in an assumption that an “irreversible" decision to arm Security personnel (as stated in the Reporter , allegedly on the basis of an interview which I did not give) had been taken. At least once in the public hearing, I stated that whatever the status of a possible decision, arming could not take place until acceptable guidelines had been produced and the President could change his mind at any time circumstances warranted it. This comment was missed by The Spectrum reporter at both the public hearing and discussion in 290 Hayes Hall on October 3, where I repeated it in the presence of the President and the students attending. So long as it is understood that no one is legally armed on the campus at this time, and no one will be legally armed until the President orders it, the discussion can continue on the points at issue questions diverting our without extraneous attention. McAllister Hull, Jr. Dean, GraduateSchool An open letter The music room/browsing library area has always been maintained as a place for people to relax and enjoy themselves. The staff has always tried to create an atmosphere of ease and friendliness in the area. Saturday afternoon this attitude was taken advantage of. The keys were stolen and that night the music room was robbed. We are now missing the main turntable, tape recorder, headphones and about fifty records. We feel that not only were material goods taken but also the freedom to maintain the same quality atmosphere. This rip off is causing us to take stricter security measures. We are all sad/angry to have to take these measures but they seem to be necessary. We are still optimistic about people being able to use and enjoy these areas in a comfortable atmosphere. They are one of the few areas left at this university where a person has access to several of the good things in life without paying a price. It is unfortunate for us all that this place will now also have to feel the effect of the selfishness of a few. Music Room/Browsing Library Staff Manu al genocide To the Editor. The recent Arab attacks against Israel can only be explained in terms of unprovoked treachery. To wage full scale war with a nation when its life pulse is at its lowest ebb Yora Kippur, the Jewish Day - of Atonement brutality. - demonstrates the extent of Arab The world has passed judgement on Israel many times; the United Nations condemns her for her militancy; the United States, known for “martial restraint," also does. African countries break off relations with her, she is referred to as an imperialist power. And eighty million Arabs choose this country of two million and a fraction of their geographical area, this “hotbed of imperialism,” as a means of attaining liberation and freedom, on the holiest day of the Jewish year. What true ideals of liberation and freedom are present when such manical genocide has been attempted? Where are the condemnations against those who have chosen to attack in the dark a fasting people, as the Arabs have done? Or against the same army for the killing of innocent farmers and school children, using ceasefire agreements to have combat not with soldiers but with civilians and children? £, Any condemnation against the Arabs will be tardy and overdue, if they are indeed voiced at all. Any action the Security Council, possibly the sole international body capable of intervention, might take will affect little change now: the fact that it chose not to convene until almost two days after the fighting began speaks accurately of its efficiency. The reports of U.N. observers seeing Egyptians, not Israelis, crossing the ceasefire lines will probably not they have much bearing on the Council's action will likely become lost in the diplomatic rhetoric which is sure to follow. Exactly what it is that makes the Arabs confident that their military might has increased so much since 1967 to the extent that their actions would indicate is not clear. And what it is that makes them feel that it is them, and not the Israelis, who are fighting for a rightful foothold on this Earth is equally hazy. What is dear, however, is the Arab governments’ employing the same propaganda tactics against the Israelis in their crazed effort to “drive them into the sea” that they have used before; the manipulation of the Arab masses into believing that there is a chance for victory, that there is a justification for their being taken from their homes and families and being pushed info the desert and told to fight while their governments play favors with their oil resources. Freedom? Liberation? Of what use is oil to a starving Arab farmer; and his - family? ‘ - : - *■> The ideological tables see meg . to Have been turned.

Eric Lehman �Thrcxigh the Looking Gla© “Pass/Fail Grading by Undergraduate Colleges,” states; “Where an applicant for admission to law school submits a transcript in which all, or virtually all, of his grades are on a pass/fail basis and submits no other indication of his level of achievement in college, the admissions committee can make a little specific use of his college work in predicting his law school grades. This means that this prediction must be based on the LSAT score, even though the committee would much prefer not to place sole reliance on the test scores in making this prediction. Even when such a transcript is supplemented by a narrative evaluation of the applicant by several of his teachers and deans, the committee can make only limited use of the college work in predicting performance in law school.” Thus, it appears that students have to be very wary of the means they select for academic evaluation. Furthermore, with many students changing their minds concerning their career goals, a student who would opt for a pass/fail or pass-with-honors grading system in his freshman and sophomore years, might later have regrets. This would also apply to those students who would choose a pass/fail option, receive their degrees, and then decide that they wish to enter law school. There is a growing trend for students to “lay-out” a year or so after receiving their bachelor’s degree, and then deciding to return to the University for graduate study. None of this is meant to be taken as support for the present grading system. Rather, it is meant to underscore what pitfalls may result if one departs from traditional evaluation measures. Jerome S. Fink, Coordinator of Student Affairs and Services, and Pre-Legal Advisor Didn’t Realize The Hearing* Were On Again’* — — — attitudes towards the main problem at that time a- Jewish immigration. The rise of Hitler accentuated the problem of Jewish immigration there were few countries in the world that wanted to increase their “Jewish Problem,” so most countries, especially the United States, turned back the overwhelming proportion of the refugees from Germany. As refugees flooded Palestine, the Arab leaders saw this as a threat to their hegemony over the Palestinian Arabs, and led by the Grand Mufti, riots broke out in Palestine from 1936-1939; In 1939 the British in a white paper closed the door - of life. In this case the real losers are the Palestinian people, for the British made promises to the Jews involving land that wasn’t theirs and the Arab landlords sold land that rightfully belonged to the Arab people. During the Second World War the Jews actively fought on the side of the British while the Arab leaders, seeing a chance to free themselves from the British yoke, aided the Germans. By the end of the war, the British were in no position to defend the rest of their empire and were forced by the United Nations to give up their territory. The result was a geographical mishmash which was exacerbated by the desire of the new Arab leaders to destroy all vestiges of Western rule, i.c., the Jews. The fact that a government as corrupt and as reactionary as the late King Farouk’s could oppose the creation of a Jewish state on a miniscule plot of land that did not belong to Egypt, shows that the war was a tool to keep the suffering Arab population in line by concentrating their hatred on Israel and not on Farouk’s government. The resulting war created the tragic plight of the Palestine refugees not welcome in their former land and manipulated and mistreated in the — detention camps of their Arab “friends.” These refugees have the best case against the Israeli state, not the quasi-revolutionary or monarchist elites that rule the Arab countries. The only true socialist state is the state 6f Israel, and while American psuedo-revolutionaries call for its destruction, they are actually playing into the hands of the same old ruling class. The tragedy of this drama is the fact that recalcitrance breeds recalcitrance and mistrust only perpetuates itself in the next generation as hate. Territory seized in one war as a temporary boundary has a way of becoming permanent especially when it becomes a useful buffer against paranoid fears that have some basis in reality. Both the Arabs and the Jews are people who can least afford a destructive and costly war. The energy expended in killing could be used for building the lives used for loving, not killing. There is no both the Jews and the Arabs right and no wrong both have to give, for in have a right to the land the end, there will be nothing. Shalom ... Salaam so close so far. — — — - - ...

To the Editor. to further Jewish immigration just as the holocaust was about to descend on the Jews and other “inferior races” in Europe. The Jews that were able to get to Palestine begah to convert what had formerly been desert, as a result of absentee landlordism and poor agrarian practices, into a productive and useful land. The Arab landlords who sold these patches of waste to the Jews saw that if the Jews’ example was followed by their subservient peasants, a revolution along class lines might occur. Therefore, it became even more advantageous for the Arab ruling elite to oppose the Jews in order to protect their own way . detailed The recent outbreak of fighting that began on the holiest of Jewish holy days, Yom Kippur, underscores the fact that the Middle East has turned into a chaotic and murky morass in which tragedy and destruction are the only products. Twenty-five years of war has eroded common sense, elevated demagogues into positions of power, raised emotions and fears, and has resulted in the continuation of an elite Arab ruling class perpetuating the long-time misery of the Arab peasant. There is no right or wrong in this conflict the initial reasons have been buried by continued mistakes on both sides and intensified by years of propaganda and physical acts of terror. As Arabs and Jews around the world pray for victories for their respective sides, only a hermit can stay away from the emotional and ideological currents that pervade this conflict. To the Arabs and some leftist groups, the Israelis represent an aggressive land-hungry people, stealing land that belongs to the Arab nations and refusing to compromise on basic issues. On the other hand, the creation of Israel is the culmination of a two thousand-year old dream which has resulted in a continuous struggle against the elements and hostile neighbors. As the emotions and tempers flare on this campus as a result of loyalties to both sides, we must remember that both sides do have a point and the constant wars will not solve anything except bring death and destruction to nations that have so much in common. The problem of “right and wrong” lies not with the 1948 war, but with the British conquest of the Mideast in the First World War and with the promises that she made to both the Jews and the Arabs. The victory over the Turks in the Mideast was aided by both Jewish and Arab fighters, and as a result, the British were caught between two opposing forces. After the war, the British reneged on both the Balfour Declaration and the promises made to the Arab leaders, and proceeded to divide the Middle East along previously-agreed lines. As a result, the French and British acquired League of Nation mandates to rule the Mideast and left both the Arabs and Jews holding the bag. British rule was perpetuated by a policy of “divide and conquer” by which the Arab and the small Jewish population were kept at each other’s throats. This resulted in constantly-shifting British .

Cute, right? You bet damned cute. A perfect angel and America's darling. Now imagine that often it's not that little girl we see on the silver screen in all her illusory charm, but a stand-in. Further conjecture that this pseudo-Shirley is not another little girl at all, but a bleached-blonde midget with a horrible munchkin voice and practically palsied hands. Think of being confined with this terror in the seat of a vertigo-inducing ferris wheel. — Arts Editor "How was it?" People usually ask that very question when confronted by a pioneer who has seen a recently-opened play. How was it? Did it shine, they want to know, or did it stink like an outhouse? How was it? they will always ask. Almost always. That is not the question folks are asking about Other Voices, Other Rooms, a play adapted for the stage by Anna Marie Barlow and directed by Melvin Bernhardt now playing at the Studio Arena Theater (SAT). People have stopped asking "How was it?" in favor of asking "Was it good?" "Was it good?" the change in approach is subtle and important. Somehow, people have gotten the idea that the play is different from anything SAT has ever done. Theatergoers have acquired a new kind of curiosity about a play at SAT. Strangely, the public has dared to hope in a hesitant sceptical manner, of course that something the well, good. Why playhouse has offered might possibly be this change in attitude? Hmmm — — — — ... ... Special features Several factors have united to give a sense of novelty to the enterprise: It is a world premiere. It is based on the first novel of celebrity-writer Truman Capote. Rumors allowed that Capote might come to Buffalo to see the attempt. The publicity for the play has been immense but, somehow, tastefully subdued. t Alright, alright! Fine! But get on with it: Was it good? Well, that is not really the most important question to ask about the play. One thing is certain; it is different. Now, to say it is different is not to imply that it is particularly experimental. Some of the theater that is done off-Broadway and in smaller groups around the country is head-and-shoulders above this play in experimentation. But it is an impossibly experimental play for SAT representing, perhaps, a novel openness in the theater's booking policy. Capote devotees This tiny crack in the stolid wall of conservative, money-making productions is only possible because the name "Capote" has done much to assure financial security. If this trend continues, soon SAT may become a forum where any sort of theater is welcomed, so long as it is good. Pipedream? Mebbe. Other Voices, Other Rooms is a play about the twin worlds of reality and illusion. It is about a young boy growing up Jn the South who must confront his illusions and deal with realities. A marvelous scene near the play's conclusion outlines his problem. Shirley Temple is involved.. Carnal carnival You are a young, innocent boy linked with the midget as the ferris wheel spins out of control in the middle of a frightening storm. Thunder rumbles your soul; the flash of lightening steals your vision. Below, an infected, doomed dog howls with pathetic persistance. And now, if you will, imagine that the pseudo-Shirley begins to sexually molest you while bemoaning the fact that "little boys must grow tall," in her ridiculous, haunting voice. Brrr! Quite a difficult and gutsy confrontation with the sham of tinsel town, is it not? This very scene highlights the play's second half. It is a lot like cutting oneself on the splinters of shattered rose-colored glasses. By the way, that also happens to Joel, the young boy who is the story's focal point. Cast as Joel is David Aaron. Unfortunately, Aaron has little to recommend his performance except a very youthful appearance. He is just too much with his dreamy, wide-eyed visage and wistful drawl. Floating through the play, he begins to look like a human Soft-Touch Greeting Card. , Thespian John Harkins plays Randolph, a homosexual resident in the dilapidated nightmare of a house where young Joel is sent to live/ Hawkins has chosen to play the role as an apparent, distorted parody of Capote himself. For all its obviousness, it is restrained and fitting. A commanding actor, Harkins on stage is the one we watch. When he mutters, "All children are morbid, it's their saving grace," and then tells Joel absurd stories that are impossible for us and confusing for the boy, we do not even notice Joel's presence on stage. Deserving mention is Lynne Thigpen's portrayal of Zoo, the maid who befriends Joel. If anything, Thigpen's but gee, Lynne, maybe just a bit interpretation is intense intense, huh? It is intense. only too Eerie and just plain creepy, the set by John Conklin looks like a miniature version of Jungleland in the Disney empire.

SPONSORED BY INDIAN SA AND OFSA �°Ma*t? L_J Once again. Deep Throat is closed in Buffalo. State Supreme Court Justice Norman A. Stiller ruled Tuesday that the controversial and profitable sex film was obscene within the meaning of the law and barred further showings. Justice Stiller termed the film; "patently offensive, lewd, perverted and utterly without redeeming social value" after watching a special showing at Erie County Hall. The court's order temporarily keeps Linda Lovelace off the Allendale Theater's screens pending hearing of evidence in a proceeding for a permanent injunction. Attorney Michael J. Brown acting in the absence of theater owner Benjamin Solomon's counsel Herald P. Fahringer, said he will try to bring such a proceeding today of Monday and attempt to show the film is not obscene. Assistant District Attorney Peter J. Notaro, chief of the appeals bureau, said: "Mr. Dillon (District Attorney Michael Dillon) and I are happy with the decision." Justice Stiller ruled the movie was obscene after upholding the constitutionality of the state's obscenity statute earlier in the day. 'There is no question the movie has not the slightest literary, political or scientific value," said Justice Stiller; 'The only reason it was not filthier was because it was not longer." The judge expects the prosecution to get a permanent injunction. 'Deei Throat' Audience gets sucked in Okay. We've heard it all. I mean how Deep Throat's started porno flicks on the road to respectability, to multi-million dollar productions and big-name producers, and how it's the first porno effort with a plot, with socially redeeming value, and all that jazz. Well, bullshit. Although it has gotten more publicity than any single event since the Creation (possibly more). Deep Throat is one thing and one thing only: a sex movie. A good sex movie. It makes no bones about it—come see Linda Lovelace and the 100% gulp. Sure, they throw in a plot, and some good one-liners, and a musical score, but such niceties are superficial, irrelevant, incidental. They were thrown in down obscenity rulings and Linda Lovelace is a national idol. Denmark, where porn was legalized and interest dropped, has learned that forbidden fruit tastes the sweetest. But in America, we continue to toot the "morality" line while hiding the dirty magazines under the bed. Well, enough bullshit! Let's get it out in the open. Americans dig sex. They are obsessed with sex. Especially two kinds—oral sex and large mammaries. The only flick that might outdraw Throat would be Big Bazooms, wherein Miss Nancy Knockers secretly nurses a newborn infant in her cleavage while walking down the street. This is a country where an X rating increases a movie's gate by 25%. Technique, technique So let’s not kid ourselves about socially redeeming factors, musical scores and the like. If Deep Throat has one social purpose, it's educational. One, it's a good release—outlet—sublimation (choose one) for hardup persons who aren't getting any and want to remember how it's done. Two, it's good therapy for couples who hit the sheets occasionally but think that maybe something's missing, or we're not doing it right, or how come you can't get it in any further? And three, it's good for the curious bunch of lechers that comprise our nation of voyeurs. And in answer to those anticipated nasty letters, nobody is forcing those people who lined up around the block when Throat came to Buffalo to pay their $5. Those of you who arg morally offended can stay home and read Love Story. Those who want to see some good cocksucking—read on. And now back to our show. You've probably read a thousand times how Linda Lovelace can't find sexual happiness till this horny doctor discovers that her clitoris is located in the bottom of her throat— and proceeds to try to tickle it. In the first 15 minutes which sets up this intense plot, the acting is atrocious. Then Linda starts mouthing a few penises and well. . she's very natural. She sucks. She goes up and down and around. She uses her tongue. She takes it all the way in. What style, what grace. She shows the females in the audience some good techniques, and gives the men some good fantasies. . Oral turn-on The camerawork in these scenes in inspiring. The audience gasps as she downs the inflamed manhood of several studs, none of whom are small. A couple spurt onto her face, and she licks it up—clearly she for the Supreme Court and for those who must convince themselves of the redeeming value of a movie about a fellatress. But for those who don't have to massage their superegos this way, the flick is pure and simple; a showcase for the world's most famous cocksucker to do her thing. Lines around the block More on the adventures of Mighty Mouth later. But first a word about American morality, obscenity rulings, and other related perversions. This should be no revelation: AMERICANS ARE FUCKED UP ABOUT SEX. No two ways about it. Look at your friends. Look at yourself. See? And what is the cause of this deep-rooted (no pun intended) phobia? It is because we are totally obsessed but refuse to admit it. Thus Deep Throat creates lines around the block in Manhattan, lines of willing, consenting adults just dying to part with $5 to see Ms. Lovelace in action, and a repressed old judge rules the film obscene. He has decreed that consenting adults shall not be admitted to a theater to witness fellatio. His decision is ridiculed, but it becomes law. We discipline our daughters about short skirts and hide our fuck books in the night table. We are a sexually schizophrenic nation. And it is this sexual schiz, this ceaseless fascination with the forbidden, which produces a nation in which Supreme Courts hand loves it. For once we see a female who clearly, unabashedly enjoys sex. No feigned resistance, no rape scenes, no "I have a headache." This girl digs the cock; it's as simple as that. There are also varying scenes of cunnilingus, copulation and other variations on a theme. All in all it's an hour of first-class blowjobs, free-for-all sex, and a little cute humor (a spreadeagled woman asks her cunniling-ing lover: "Do you mind if I smoke while you eat?") Deep Throat is a good sex flick. It's a turn-on, if orality turns you on. It's hopefully the start of a whole bunch of up-front, unabashed, maybe-a-little-better-plot sex flicks. That is, if the courts don't totally ccrack down and deem such films as offending our prurient interests. '/* whatever they are. Maybe they'll try to hand down a rule against masturbatory fantasies next. What is this country coming to when ya can't even take in a good porno film on a lonely Friday night? I bet even Nixon, Judge Tyler and these other repressive fascists pop a hardon once in awhile. Print that. Jack Anderson! But if I read one more review about Deep Throat’s social value. I'll puke. If the audience went home and tried something new, and if a few girls learned to give decient blowjobs from watching this film, and if the sex lives of its viewers improved .002 because of it, that's its value. Unless Throat is cut before this sees print, Ms. Lovelace is now blowing at the Allendale Theater. Don't hide your face when you stand on line. —Eggman FVidayv 12 October 1973 The Spectrum Page eleven . . �Dick Cavett small screen Toma (Vexin' violence) This is the year of violence on television. There are so many police and detective stories it becomes extemely difficult to follow them all. One cop can't see, another plays cop from a wheelchair, and still another eats so much that he leaves only about one-third of the show for drama and suspense. Television moneymakers see the expanding interest of viewers for these shows and quickly pounce on the prospect. The rate 6f new police shows now seem to be outnumbering our annual birth rate. And just like any other fad or trend on T.V., the more that fad is exploited, the more tasteless and boring it becomes. However, for all the Griffs, Barnaby Jones, and McClouds, there is Toma (Thursdays, ABC.) Starring newcomer Tony Musante as David Toma, this show comes closest to reality. The show, which is loosely based on the story of a real cop Newark, N.J., is not from overdone. young Toma is a maverick-type, who has his bad points as well as his good. He does not get along with his boss (Simon Oakland) too well, and he's very unorthodox in his approach. He's Realizing his own potential commercial breaks to local sponsors. Subsequently, we were left with two nights of almost continuous by Jesse E. Levine a street person and he fits in very well with street people. He has a lot of friends and connections and with his many disguises (ranging from hippie to business man) he is able to mingle with people freely. Toma drives around in an old car and his usual work clothes are t-shirt, jeans, and sneakers. Although at times he may appear as something of a super-cop (a la Shaft), his over-all appearance and manner quickly bring him down to earth. Musante is an excellent actor and he carries the entire show. Susan Strasberg, who plays his wife, is seldom seen and only acts as a support to Toma; behind every great man is a woman, you know that. The plots are nothing like one man vs. the syndicate. They are real, believable plots that any normal police force might handle. The show does not compare to a Mod-Squad, nor a Superfly, nor even a Mannix. It's a an show with believable extraordinary cop. Quite a few detective police series are going to caught up in the shuffle this and be disposed of quickly. and get year For purposes, Toma deserves a better fate. It's a very unique show, in that it attempts to tell it like it is and not how it should be. all -Howie Ruben Remember the night Marlon Brando was on the of Dick Cavett Show in June? Brando ran the gamut alternating between by schizophrenic intransigence moments of utter pretentiousness and sincerity. Cavett didn't exactly rise to the occasion, but who besides him would have enough guts to go a few rounds.with Brando in the first place? He is, after all, the same guy who played Terry Molloy, Stanley Kowalski, and Don Vito Corleone all in one lifetime. Anyway, it was great to see that all America agreed for one night; Johnny Carson was definitely little league next to The Godfather\ As a result of Cavett's insistence on hearing the real dirt behind Last Tango In Paris, and his obvious inability to deal with Brando's eccentricity, Marlon came out looking a bit like the young Brando wo used to ride down Hollywood Boulevard with a trick arrow through his head, and Cavett came out looking like Kim Agnew the day Daddy wouldn't let her march. public service messages. The majority of the usual Buffalo enterprises that use television as their most valuable medium for advertising, apparently felt that either Cavett could not control a large enough audience, or the program was telecast too late. It could have bfcen a combination of both. In any event, at least we didn't have to deal with Dapper Dan Creed and his Fly-By-Night Bullshit) Decent media man The real issue at hand is this: Dick Cavett deserves credit! He doesn't have Carson's "Let's eat peaches and ice cream in bed" flare.... but he consistently brings worthwhile people to talk about Boring Baker Cavett recovered, and went on to do a taped broadcast from Savage Sam Ervin's Caucus Room, where the Watergate Hearings are being held. Weicker was decent, and while Howard Baker just about bored me to death, Cavett handled the show well. At that time, I would rather have seen an on-the-spot interview with Carl Stern, Dan Schorr, Terry Lenzner, and Maureen Dean. (All you Watergate freaks take note!) Thanks to WBEN, which has picked up this year's option on the Dick Cavett Show, everyone who was watching saw Dick's season premiere with his two-night presentation of the illustrious Katherine Hepburn. That could have been the three most enjoyable hours I've ever spent watching any talk show, down through the abbreviated history of television. The first show included a ten-minute segment of video that was rolling before the show was scheduled to begin, and I would bet that the first portion was completely candid. Not only is Katherine Hepburn the most attractive sixty-year old woman I have ever seen, but her obvious penchant for nonsense and her good-natured obsession with making everyone crazy about her, make her utterly irresistable. Even the cynic would have to say that she just could be the greatest thing that ever hit Hollywood or Connecticut. And what cheekbones! / Tracy and Bogie With her feet on the table and slouched in her chair, desperate to attain a comfortable position o o o Roll Out (Roll it up) Roll Out has all the ingredients of a racial-humor comedy, but just doesn't make it. Essentially it's about the "Red Ball Express," which was an Army" trucking company functioning in Europe during World War II. The show stars Stu Gilliam as a "Sad Sack"-type corporal truck driver. Along with, him are Hilly Hicks, Gilliam's side-kick, and Mel Stuart as the norotious sargeant B.J. The rest of the cast is also black and unknown. There are two white actors in the series; I suppose it's tokenism. In fact, there is absolutely no black/white comedy to the show. Neither is the show interested in following through with its historical premise. Instead we get a half-hour of one-liners from Gilliam with the only laughs coming from the laugh track, and a story line which is so superficial that it seems to have been written after the jokes to give the show some semblance of form. There have been good comedy shows about World War II in the past, such as Hogan's Heroes and McHale's Navy, which did a fine job of intertwining comedy with a plot which at least had something to do with the main idea of the show, but in the case of Roll Out there is absolutely no correlation. For all intents and purposes. Roll Out could be taking place on the streets of Harlem as easily as in France during World War II. It seems like CBS had thirty minutes to fill on Friday night before the nine o'clock movie and Roll Out is what they picked. I don't think this show will last half a season. It's an absolute waste of time to sit and watch it. —Mitchell Lipchitz Page twelve The Spectrum Friday, 12 October . . 1973 which she would never find, she talked about everything from vandalizing houses when she was 15, to Hollywood's Golden Years. All this was done with a seething enthusiasm that made one believe she was in the living room with Tracy and Bogie. Bogie with his bourbon, Spencer with hisBible. Unreminiscent of most other interviews with Hollywood's finest, there were absolutely no pretentions, or condescension, .or puerile head games. It was all out front, and the show just went so smoothly you began to wonder whether this was really Dick Cavett and late-night television. There was none of that let's talk about sex ad-libbing that sent Carson to the top of Nielson. Talk about free women, Kate could just about burn out any man who even talks to her. Cavett hardly even said a word the whole first show. Kate just rambled on and giggled, giving a most sincere display of why she is so admired. There is a strange mixture of gentleness and defiance that one can't escape being enamored by; and when she is not too excited or nervous, and can get all the words out, she is extremely eloquent. Katherine possesses the rare quality of being able to project intense feeling by word of mouth as well as physical presence, which makes her just as remarkable a person as she is an actress. Sponsors cop out By the way, Johnny Carson entertained the antics of none other that Don Rickies, Buddy Hackett, Bert Reynolds, and Carol Wayne just previous to the Cavett show. They brought Carol out last. She was dessert. The question remains whether Carol could last ten minutes off the Johnny Carson show. Maybe we should set her up with Dick? No, he's much too small for her! And Cavett's commercials! Common Cause: "We want to make the government YOUR government" The United Negro College Fund: "A mind is a terrible thing to waste" The American Forestry Association: "The most dangerous animal in the forest is the one with the brains".... And others in the same vein. For whatever the reason, it seems the national sponsors dropped their time slots for the Buffalo broadcast. WB£N probably could not sell the - — Dick Cavett usually worthwhile things. The best move ABC ever made was the shift to his one-every-four-weeks stint. He's now got the time to do what he wants and does best, while at the same time not having to sacrifice his and our intellectual integrity by bringing on fools. The release from constant competition with Carson on a day-to-day basis will finally allow Cavett to realize his potential. He is on his way! He may not be ABC's prize Nielson package, but at least we don't have to see Alan King at the Indiana State Fair every three weeks. What a farce that was! Just imagine the Dick Cavett Habit being replaced by the Alan King Thing poking its way into our bedrooms. Alan King's rap is the Jewish equivalent of Dicky Betts telling us how he was born in the back of a greyhound bus. If anyone can give me evidence that Dick Cavett isn't one of the most important and overall decent media figures around, I'll eat my red hat. As for Katherine Hepburn, who doesn't look a day over 24, or act a day over 14: God bless people who wear white dresses and tell the truth. Dick ended his show by telling Katherine that he had fallen in love with her at least seven times in the last hour. That's all And one more thing; what I would give to play tennis with Kate behind the Beverly Wilshire! I take my bourbon straight, schweethartl!!!! �■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■ Exciting 'Woyzeck' o pens at Co u rtyard # by Randi Schnur Spectrum Theater Critic First published in 1838, Woyzeck by Georg Buchner is a fragmentary but brilliant work which seems to have set the stage for such twentieth-century playwrights as Bertolt Brecht and Samuel Beckett. Loosely based on a highly controversial murder case which caused quite a stir in Leipzig 17 years earlier, Woyzeck is the story of an honest, simple and rather stupid soldier whose only act of aggression against the world which has repeatedly victimized him is the climactic stabbing of his beloved but unfaithful mistress. The play opened at the Theater Department's Center for Theater Research last week. Franz Woyzeck is an authentic shlemiel whose inability to rise above the put-downs that his world constantly delivers leaves him with a terrible persecution complex. This culminates in the delusion that he is being pursued by, of all people, the fraternity of Freemasons. To earn a few pennies for his mistress, Marie, and their child, he shaves a captain who taunts him with absurd lectures on the virtues of being virtuous. Lettuce for peas He gets an additional three groschen each day from a mad doctor who forces the soldier to eat nothing but peas as part of an experiment to determine the effect of this diet on his urine. ("How should the doctor live," asks his friend the captain, "had not God created man for his use?") Small wonder, then, that he pessimistically describes the rays of the sun as "God emptying his bedpan on the world." Given these circumstances, we can almost sympathize with Woyzeck's exaggerated jealous rage when he learns of Marie's affair with a handsome drum major. When he finally confronts her, she signs her own death warrant by screaming that she would rather have a knife in her body than his hands on hei. Obsessed with this new idea that she has given !■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■ him, Woyzeck buys a long knife, the only murder weapon he can afford, and lures her out near the pond where he stabs her. Blood/lust Later, back in town, he tries to seduce Marie's friend Kathy, who notices the blood he has forgotten to wash off. Shocked at last into realizing what he has done, Woyzeck remembers the knife and rushes back to hide it. Following the floating knife out further and further into the water, he finally sinks with it, dying as ignominiously as he has lived. Buchner's construction of the play makes it very difficult to stage. The large number of scenes, none of which is more than a few minutes long, could have made it extremely hard to follow. However, Martin Tackel's tight direction held it all together, and Richard Alongi's very sparse set a couple of benches which doubled as seats for actors not involved in a particular scene helped to create a sense of intimacy and closeness which emphasized the confinement of Woyzeck's world. — — Credit where due All of the performances were excellent, especially those of Elliott Burtoff as the tragic hero, Maria Corsaro as his mistress, and Tommy Koenig in the role of the captain. Mike Grodenchik, Susan Wehle, Steve Heisler, and director Tackel (who made his appearance in voice only) did beautiful jobs as the supporting characters. Marty Maniak was particularly fine in a trio of roles, which included an ominously funny portrayal of a carnival barker showing off a marvelously clever played by Burtoff, who cannot, of course, horse completely shed his character of Woyzeck. The Theater Department has gotten the semester off to a very auspicious start with this first production. An exciting play with a more-than-competent cast is certainly always a great thing to find, and if Woyzeck is any indication, the Department's new home at the tiny Courtyard Theater on Lafayette Street richly deserves all the playgoers who can be packed into it. — ■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■ Chick Corea Heavy, friendly rock tonite by Norman Salant / Spectrum Music Critic Hope you're not busy tonight, and if you are, hope it's for the right reason, though there's three of them: John Mayall, Bob Hope, and Chick Corea/Larry Coryell. Take your pick. Chances are you already know all about Mayall, and you'd never waste your time paying and travelling to see Bob Hope do Chrysler ads. So this is to reveal where Chick Corea's head is at and why you should make it to the Gym tonight. First, there have been these green mimeographed sheets tacked up all over the place CHICK saying "JAZZII COREA, LARRY CORYELL at Clark Gym, Friday at 8 p.m." That needs explaining. Chick Corea began as a jazz pianist. He made albums like Tones for Joan's Gones, Now He Sings, Now He Sobs, Is, generally moving more and more far out in the way of avant-garde music, ultimately climaxed in a group called Circle with Dave Holland (who shaved his head), Barry Altshul, and Anthony Braxton, and was widely recognized as one of the best bands around. New direction At the same time he got it on with Miles Davis and was a full-fledged member of his troupe when Miles was getting electric, appearing also on every album from In a Silent Way to On the Comer. When the seventies hit, something happened to Chick Corea. He began to feeL less and less satisfied with the music he was playing, as it was basically more and more introspective, and he began to feel alienated from the world outside, fearful that the space would become a barrier to communication. Circle disbanded, and a groups called Return to Forever was born. The music of this band was so warm and outgoing that it could easily have become your best friend, it was full of that much personality. Seemingly very simple, but actually quite complex, it had energy and spirit, and felt incredibly good. It was tinged with a Latin flavor and became known as Light As a Feather, an album released on Polydor but produced by Foreign Unlimited Productions, an , independent company based, believe it or not, on goodwill and humanism, an attempt to make the often stifling "business" part of the industry more personable. That is the kind of head Chick-Corea is into now. I saw Return to Forever at Max's in New York City and felt the irresistable aura of the man and the music. Rock and Stanley Clarke However, things are a little different now. For one thing, the original Return to Forever broke up, and with it went the Light as a Feather sound. What used to be a vocalist and flute/sax has become an electric guitar, the bass is electric, the drums are rocking and the piano is harsher. Return to Forever has made a transition from Light as a Feather to Heavy as a Rock. No, there will be no "JAZZI" at Clark Gym tonight. It's going to be a night of the heaviest, most powerful, imaginative rock music heard in a long time. And the friednliest, because it can still be your best friend. The musicianship is about the best anywhere, headed by Chick, and featuring Stanley Clarke, who after a couple of years as a pro is now heralded as the best, most revolutionary bassist of our time. Then there's Bill Connors on guitar, also amazing but as yet unknown (yes, another great new guitar player has arrived), Mingus Lewis on percussion and conga, and Lenny White on drums. Lenny is second only to Billy Cobham as a drummer. He spent a few years with Miles and gained his reputation there, and he's absolutely incredible. They're all very young, or young-looking, all in their twenties, and they got the energy. That's just one act on the bill. There's also Larry Coryell, who you all know by now and who is not a jazzman either except for one album he did with McLaughlin called Spaces. Coryell is, well, Coryell, as someone once said about Jerry Gracia a few years back, and he should do a little stretching out himself as the evening progresses (with Charles Octet and firedog not far behind), so you've got to either be extremely busy, apathetic, sick, or stupid not to make it tonight, because it’s only tonight and there'll be no tomorrows tonight.

Spectrum Page fifteen . �4 Gallery 219 Audience participation marks Image Theatre Chris Britz's bold work by Stephen Aminoff except confusion where a new kind of understanding should be. A radio play written for a 1939 listener which speaks about impending doom at the hands of some monstrous invader had a very special importance for. that audience. To make this piece work today one needs to be very careful about how the text is treated. Sitting around a radio with the family sometime after dinner is a very different experience from a live stage presentation. MacLeish knew this, which is why he wrote the play a certain way. Spectrum Theater Critic -e Good ideas were at work last Friday and Saturday night when Tom Fontana's Image Theater staged an ambitious but somewhat unsatisfying • interpretation of Archibald MacLeish's pre-war radio play The Fall of the City in the parish house of the Westminster Presbyterian Church. Image Theater clearly recognizes a concept which is essential for anyone with an interest in the art form to grasp; the idea of theater infers a very special "living" relationship not just between live actors on a stage, but also between those actors and the live bodies out there who the actors hope to reach with their work. Image Theater makes a strong contribution to this idea by very earnestly encouraging the audience to participate in the action of the play. The idea wasn't so much for us to join 6 crowd of screaming spectators but to be that crowd. Aragon Ballroom To illustrate the problem involved, the name of the first character in the play is "Voice of the Announcer." Seeing an actor reading this character's lines from a podium while trying to imitate the "Announcer''-style necessarily dilutes the original intention of the words. Generally, the technical acting was fine with David Domedian's honest enthusiasm setting the pace for the rest of the company including Paul Fontana, Patti Heisler, Pamela Kilburn, Grant King, David Kowal, Michelle Maulucci, Patricia Weber and Brian T. Whitehall. Insofar as we didn't know who was what when we walked in, it was easy to pick out the actors once the play got under way, just by looking for the people who seemed unusually interested in what was going on. A little blond fellow got some of the circulating free bread caught in his throat. His coughing couldn't help but wrest our attention from "the action," and whoever was working to ignore it might just as well have worn a sign: "I am a dramatic function." Ultimately, the insensitivity manifested itself in a general lack of concern for an audience who just wanted to know what it was supposed to be participating in. To that extent, the evening left much to be desired. However, The Fall of the City attempted to really work with the people who go to the theater, and in that sense the evening held the seeds of some terrific excitement. Paradise Lost Indeed, the whole night might have been quite wonderful had the actors exhibited the same sort of sensitivity to the collective energy of an audience that they expected the audience to show them. It's difficult enough to understand MacLeish's rather cryptic verse if administered to us in small doses. When the material is thrown at us by quite obvious "plants" (i.e., actors posing as spectators, strategically interspersed among the audience). Tiir MIGHTY TACO -li Sun. Fri. 1247 Hartal Ava.

Ratsow Spectrum Art Critic I've been scouting around the city, visiting the local galleries, looking at the Burchfield wallpapers at State, even went to a country art fair near Lockport. Unmistakably, the most interesting things happening are right here on campus, on the second floor of Norton Union. Rather than do a review, I enlisted, the help of some friends who will give you their reactions which, hopefully, conveys the sense of excitement and interest you might get seeing the art works here. First, the ever-beautiful Appolonia reports on the Chris Britz showing in Gallery 219, a very timely exhibit arranged under the direction of Sharon Till. The Britz work gives people excellent exposure to the contemporary concerns of process in art and it's functional illusionism. Secondly, Rio Ponte turns a few phrases and adds up his feelings on the small fetching photographs of Paul Weissman, now being displayed in the Music Room. Chris Britz Is what you see what you see? The Chris Britz exhibit, now showing in Gallery 219 until October 17, is more than a trompe I'oeil to be sure, but even at that level the craftmanship can be appreciated. The exhibit is a skilled transformation of three-dimensionality into two dimensions on canvas. The illusion of space exists. Elements of light and shade after reality via spray gun and shades of blue and green paint on percale sheets nailed to the wall. Several drawings can also be examined closely for effect. The artist's knowledge of perspective is employed to create surreal environments, plans for other paintings, speculations and proposals for other convincing images These things make you want to go home and try to do it. Only to find that there is more than meets the eye. not only visually but also in the production. The possibilities are limitless The visions are stimulating.

There is a certain fascination in watching other people experiencing their fantasies, which were originally just as far out as our own. Maybe it is this type of fascination which makes Michael Crichton's movie Westworld so interesting. Crichton, well known as the author of The Andromeda Strain. does not wander too far from that book's formula. It plays upon the helplessness of man, by pitting him against some force which he initially seems helpless to fight. In Westward, Crichton adds an extra twist, with the invincible force being that of man's creation. Richard The stars film Benjamin and James Brolin as two young, wealthy executives on a $1000-a-day vacation to Delos, advanced adult the most amusement park in the world. It contains three parts: Westworld, Medieval Europe World, and Imperial Rome World. Programmed plot The settings include robots which are specially programmed to act a role in the time setting, and above all, programmed to please the vacationer in one form or another. Brolin has been there Benjamin shows before; excitement and anticipation, as this is his first time. This anticipation parallels the audience's, as our appetite is whetted with enticing details of Delos. The plot itself is simple. For a good portion of the film, Brolin and Benjamin are shown enjoying their fantasies, which range from winning two gun battles with a gunslinging robot played by Yul him?}, Brynner (remember to making love with two saloon-girl robots. Continually the phrase "Nothing can go wrong" is repeated, making it obvious that such expressions of confidence will probably be soon undermined. This anticipation of doom is "furthered by switching to the scene-behind-the-scenes where technicians continually speak of small mechanical difficulties developing in the robots, which get bigger and bigger. The complete breakdown of their operation is inevitable. Homework in paradise Stretching a simple plot showing a paradise turn into a nightmare is an old affair, and could have been quite dull, if not for the nature of this paradise. Crichton has done his homework well for this, his first attempt at directing. He has developed Westworld with such believable detail that it is completely engrossing to follow this artificial western society. For Brolin and Benjamin, the thrill was being able to control their environment without having to accept any of the consequences for their actions: man's true goal. You watch with interest as everything comes out for the best .. never mind that this will all back-fire later, this is now! All along, Brolin keeps making . - remarks to his colleague which all add up to the joy and amazement of being able to experience the imaginary setting to such an extent of reality. This amazement continues even up to the point when he is shot by Brynner, after hell lets loose, and exclaims:"l've really been shot," in an expression which appears to say,"See, they'll go to any extent to make it seem realistic." Helplessly Hollywood The chase scene between the robotized Brynner and Benjamin leaves a certain feeling of helplessness, which is summarized by an engineer Benjamin encounters excitedly who comments;"He'll get you eventually. You can try all you can, but he's so well programmed that you don't stand a chance." At times the chase included Hollywood-ish breaks for the good guy, such as having the "villain's" gun not work at a crucial time, or the just plain bad of marksmanship the evil oppressor. But all in all, the scene in showing succeeds man's helplessness against what only he could create—a killer. The film obviously is dealing with an old issue: although man thinks he has his creations under control in a fixed setting, when it comes down to the real thing, he does not. A second issue of the film is that the conquest of one man over what on the outside appears to be another man, is the planned highlight of each visitor's stay. All three settings have a with violence, and a man's coming out as conqueror in a struggle against other men is considered a part of his utopia. Westworld is not at all what would be called a great artistic achievement. The plot is a much-gone-over one, and its message can be conceived simply by looking at the advertisements preoccupation with the phrase: "Where nothing can go w-o-r-n-g." But this is a movie just for enjoyment. In a way, it's science fiction, but at the same time, it's believable enough to get one emotionally involved. So sit back, and dream, despite the nightmare which awaits you. —Tom Lansing "DON’T LOOK toe BASEMENT” Paint an evil landscape. The weatherbeaten, over-stuffed grey house on the proverbial hill.

Painting my lips, checking my gown, I nervously leafed through the program, careful of my still-moist nails, and tried to compose myself for the ominous event. What to say? Who to address? Straightening my seams, mumbling to myself the histories of Mark Ridley & Co. Suppose I forgot. At least, I thought to myself smugly, I'll look my best. The bell rang. One last check in the mirror and I ran down the three flights of stairs to the car to meet John) Again I realized how lucky I was to have John, and what a reassuring force he was to me on this, my first theater review. We arrived in the already-darkened theater. I was determined to see and hear everything. Sitting tensely in my seat I was as alert as I would have been if I were driving through a school zone at three o'clock. And then the first chords of the Passion Play. I strained to hear. Heartbeats piano music. I tried to match the actors' faces to their pictures in the playbill. NO NO I clutched John's arm feverishly. John, John I can't see a thing. I fought for composure, thinking my mascara would run. John John John I CAN’T SEED! People all around shushed me. Damn dowagers and lords. Don't you understand? I can't see .1 can't see. John came to the rescue as usual. Just relax, Deirdre, remember what the doctor said. Yes yes it was true.: Johr as always, was right. Nothing left to do but listen as closely as I could and draw on my other senses so as to witness the show for my review a review as good as any of the other critics. I heard the music, I heard the words, the static, even the actors' movements on the stage. Scenes from my childhood passed in front of me in rapid succession. I broke out in a cold sweat. Was this GOOD? or BAD? I thought of my responsibility to the public. They were counting on MEM Me Deirdre MacIntyre, Critic nee Cub Reporter. And I didn't know what was happening. It wasn't enough just to hear everything. No, I had to know what was going on on stage. I had to see it at the same time. I reached out for John but discovered, to my utter dismay, that he had gone outside for a smoke. No one could help me now. I fought to quench the fears that were rising in me. I would lose my job. I would lose my pride. I would be blacklisted, maybe even deported. Lines of music wafted through my thoughts. ba-ba-ba-ba-BOM. I would be forced to crawl home—a failure in the big city. Du-du-du-du-du-doop. My parents would treat me like a child, la-la-la-la-la.

I awoke to find Joe Orson Welle? standing above me. This was the moment of truth. "Jed," he said, "you're fired." I mumbled something about truth and how he'd lost all his ideals since he'd gotten to be a big shot. Then I left. I had a hangover. The next afternoon the papers arrived. Still nursing my throbbing head, I saw the banner headlines: "JETHRO TULL RETIRES HURT" I raced through the story. Critics hostile to Passion Play. Ian Anderson upset over bad response to what he feels is his best work. Tull going into retirement forever.. .lack of appreciation. My head reeled. My God, they really do read their own notices. Oh, critics of the world, you cause it, you with your harsh words trying to intimidate the fans and hurting the artists' feelings so badly that they will never play again! For shame! But wait. This is not Peter Pan. Tinkerbell's life does not depend on the audience's applause. If you believe in Jethro Tull clap your hands. The light is getting stronger. The poison is defeated. This is not Peter Pan. This is the Real World. Jethro Tull is going into retirement. And all because the music wasn't liked, the Passion Play was left passionlessly abandoned on the nun's doorstep in March. But what did you expect? The times are changing. This Was is great because the music five years ago was great. And we all heard "My Sunday Feeling" over our FM's until our ears buzzed. Everyone who ends up disliking Passion Play was an ardent Tull fan of the earlier days. Some of my best friends are rock stars. Why would I insult one if he hasn't gone bad? Well, get it through your heads that that is insulting. And if you buy a copy of Passion Play, just remember that food has no taste unless you can smell it. What the hell. So I'm on vacation, out in a boat on some beautiful lake no doubt, soaking in the vibes of a fish on the line, and what gets into my head? Monk. From nowhere, right? But no, from here.

Arlester Christian was the acknowledged master of R&B story-tellin' music: exemplified in his ten-minute mini-op 'The Wrong House" on the hard to find Dyke and the Blazers Ip. Arlester Christian, an important man not given enough credit, a man whose performances sometimes ran lengthy as he would get into telling bawdy stories. Arlester paid homage to by the funk-veined glitter rawnchers, J. Ceils, is once again brought to mind in this first release by Duke Williams and the Extremes. Ever since the Wolf and J. Geils showed the world there's a definite future in ressurected R&B stylizations, I've been waiting for the inevitable imitator to show up finally they have but guess what? These guys cut Geils and Co. by a long shot. A Monkey in a Silk Suit is Still Called a Monkey is the most exciting new record to come out in a long while. Immediately they set their theme with Christian's "Funky Broadway" formula horn backing, truncated rhythm backdrops, the whole works, blending to form one heckuva driving mass. Duke's a white boy with long locks, but his voice is totally immersed in the language of the ghetto, dirt and rat-infested urinals. Then they knock the socks off ya with an instrumental. Class, real class... all done in simplistic formula style, nothin' fancy but all solid. The song "Chinese Chicken" might double for a seventies version of the immortal Black Pearl "White Devil." Can you imagine a group actually gettin’ away with an yeah so eight-minute cut on their first Ip unscarred they go and do a song called "Clouds" no Joni "Tush" Mitchell puke-out here, just a nice set of rhythm patterns, searing geetar, shit, this is more and more entertaining as the minutes fly by that's a good word for this group, "entertaining," like whips and black leather stockings. Anyway, "Clouds" goes for eight short minutes and like all good long songs it manages to sound like a two-minute fifty-second speed-out. And to actually top this, Duke and the Extremes set you on your haunches with the immdrtal Otis Redding knife-wound, "I've Been Lovin' You Too Long (To Stop (Slow)." It's simply enough to state that they accomplish what they set out to do rock 'n roll. This is what happens on side one, we’ve still got side two to go to bed with. Never put this record on late at night unless, of course, you're playing with your body chemicals and sleep is useless, this'll get your molecules loose n' lively. Just to mention something from side two: keep an ear out for the harlot hymnal "Ain't No Ladies in the Street Tonight" and Little Richard's jowl joustler "Slippin and Slidin;" this might not get King Kong excited, or even Mighty Joe Young, but Tarzan wouldn't stand a chance 'cause like they sez, A Monkey in a Suit is Still a Monkey.

I got drunk along the way. Staggering over to the typewriter, I started hunting and pecking, bottle by my side. I cast away all my doubts and thought: If this is my only chance, at least I'll say what I think. Hiccup. I was racing the deadline. I ripped the finished shr ff thr ill. "Charii can ta(l because if you listen real hard and think at the same time you'll notice that there is not a single thing missing or lacking, no improvements could possibly be made, no stretching out like"if only he'd done lob-a-lobaloo instead of be-dah-bne-doo-bra-ping" because he's too far out to be second-guessed. It just goes to show that he's a genius and he's still alive so never mindIJust check out the record and you'll be doing all right. Especially get into the two takes of "Functional." A simple blues, but it has that touch that puts it in an upper stratosphere of expression and creativity. You could, if you desired, go to sleep at night to it like I did for a week straight-Monk ain't always choppy and absurd, sometimes he's painfully plain and that's when I love him most, because normalcy is something I can fathom, and he does it so real that it hurts and soothes at the same time, like all blues should. And to think he was ridiculed for being avantgarde. It could make you lose faith in ridiculing. Don't worry, Thelonius, I'm with you and so are a few other hundred million musicians of the mind and spirit. And there's nothing dissonant about feeling that way, is there? No, no, no, we’ve got to empire of corporate depth, set of twofers number three (or was that four?) featuring the old Riverside recordings. Riverside was at one time vibrant and productive with the sounds of the old ('50's) jazzos, not really so old but not so recent either, considering what Master Trane accomplished in the following decade. And anyway, to get back, there were people such as were Rollins, Wes Guitar, and so on, you probably know them anyway if the name Monk opens your eyes—and this isn't going to turn into a namedropping who's who because everybody's had it just about up to here with all the jazz elitists running around proclaiming themselves the disciples of the holy music, the way I see it, there's music and there's music and after that there's still more music and it's all different and it can all do the same thing, just in different ways, so it's really just a question of style which is superficial anyway since it's the motivating force and the goal that's important, not the language used to get there.

After assisting Wolff in the preparation Agnew’s of such a compilation. Green subsequently met with Mr. Agnew, who noted that Green’s company had received a lot of work from Gov. Agnew’s administration and stated that he was glad that things had worked out that way. Mr. Agnew then went on to complain about the continuing financial burden which would be imposed upon him by his position as vice president and to express the hope that Green would not stop his financial assistance to Mr. Agnew. To Green’s surprise, Mr. Agnew went on to state expressly that he hoped to be able to be helpful to Green with respect to the awarding of federal engineering contracts to Green’s company. $2000 payments of that As a result Green continued to conversation, make cash payments to Vice President Agnew three or four times a year up to and including December, 1972, these payments were usually about $2,000 each. The payments were made in both Mr. Agnew’s vice presidential office and at his residence in the Hotel in Sheraton-Park Washington, D.C. The payments were not discontinued until after the initiation of the Baltimore County investigation by the U.S. attorney for the District of Maryland in 1973. Lester Matz, a principal in another large engineering firm Matz, Childs, Inc. began making corrupt payments while Mr. Agnew was county executive in / I from pago 9 . money The $20,000 in cash was generated in an illegal manner and was given by Matz to Gov. Agnew in a manilla envelope in Gov. Agnew’s office on or about June 16, 1968. In handing the envelope to Gov. Agnew, Matz expressed his for the appreciation substantial amounts of state work his company had been receiving and told the governor that the envelope contained the money that Matz owed the governor in connection with that work. Matz made no further corrupt payments to Mr. Agnew until shortly after Mr. Agnew became vice president, at which time Matz calculated that he owed Mr. Agnew approximately $ 10,000 more from jobs and fees which the Matz firm had received from Gov. Agnew’s administration since July, 1968. After generating $10,000 in cash in an illegal manner, Matz met with Mr. Agnew in the vice president’s office and give him approximately $10,000 in cash in an envelope. Matz informed the vice president at that meeting that the envelope contained money still owed to Mr. Agnew in connection with work awarded to Matz’ firm by Gov. Agnew’s administration and that more such monies would be owed and paid in the future. Matz did make several subsequent payments to the vice president. He believes that he paid an additional $5,000 to Mr. Agnew in cash. In or around April, 1971, Matz made a cash payment to Vice President Agnew of $2,500 in return for the awarding by the General Services Administration of a contract to a small engineering firm in which Matz had a financial ownership interest.

Only three other Vice Presidents have been vulnerable to criminal charges, and all three served out their terms without penalty or subsequent action against them. Aaron Burr, Vice President under Thomas Jefferson, was the only Vice President to be formally charged with crimes committed while in office. Local authorities charged him with murder in the 1804 shooting of Alexander Hamilton. Burr challenged Hamilton to a duel to avenge years of political opposition including what Burr felt, not unreasonably, was a conspiracy to deprive him of the Presidency in 1800. Burr never claimed immunity from indictment but, for political reasons, his case never went to court and he was not impeached. I 11 AT THE RIGHT PRICE ! Agnew’s situation is unprecedented Calhoun cleared John C. Calhoun’s example is more instructive. As Vice President under John Quincy Adams, Calhoun asked the House of Representatives to investigate allegations that he had engaged in profiteering while serving as Secretary of War under James Madison. The House obliged him and he was subsequently cleared of all charges. Mr. Agnew referred to this precedent when he requested that House Speaker Carl Albert initiate a similar investigation into the charges that Mr. Agnew accepted kickbacks from Maryland contractors and extorted campaign contributions. Mr. Albert turned down Mr. Agnew’s request. The differences in the two cases were that the charges against Mr. Calhoun were old news and that he was not under grand jury investigation at the time. The closest historical parallel is that of Schuyler Colfax, Vice President under Ulysses S. Grant. In 1872, The New York Sun revealed that Colfax took a gift of 20 shares from officials of the Credit Mobilier Company, which had been formed by promoters of the Union Pacific Railway to divert profits from construction of a transcontinental railroad to themselves.

After Mr. Agnew became governor of Maryland, Matz decided to make his payments directly to Mr. Agnew. He made no payments until the summer of 1968 when he and his partner John Childs calculated that they owed Mr. Agnew approximately $20,000 in consideration for the work which their firm had already received from the governor’s administration. f ** .. — Major credit cards accaptad !

In Niagara Falls you had to be able to play every day.” Piscotty mentioned- several other differences in his first year of professional baseball. ‘The bus rides were worse, and they didn’t provide you with meals,” Piscotty reported. ‘They gave you $5 a day for meals, which was about enough to eat at McDonald’s. I got around that by packing a lunch, since I was living at home.” The ex-Bull slugger was optimistic about proceeding to a higher minor league classification next season. “I suppose there’s Charleston,” commented Piscotty, referring to the Pirates’ class A South Carolina franchise. ‘The one good thing that might help me to go higher is that there’s a long left field fence in Charleston, and I am a dead pull hitter.” Piscotty will have five months to prepare himself to battle for a promotion when he reports to the Pirates’ training camp next March.

The Bulls lost to the Bonnies 24-31 and 18-37 to the Bengals. The Bengals won the meet with a 22-23 decision over St. Bonaventure. The win was Buffalo State Coach Roger Houk’s first in his three years of coaching. It was a disappointing race for the Bulls, who had hoped to finish with at least second place showing. Buffalo Coach Jim McDonough noted before the race: “It’s going to be close. I thinkBuff State is too tough for us, but I think we can catch St. Bonaventure. I hope we can catch one of them.” The Bulls’ runners were even more optimistic. Team leader Bruce Tuttle, predicted: “It should be cold FOODS For the first time FURNIRIN6 meat.” But he quickly added, “I don’t want to make any pre-meet predictions, but these teams are all within our scope.” by David J.

No. 22 Thursday, 11 October 1973 V iee president Agne w resigns Vice President Spiro T. Agnew resigned yesterday. Mr. Agnew pleaded no contest to one charge of income tax evasion and received a three-year probation and a $10,000 fine from Judge Walter E. Hoffman in U5. District Court in Baltimore. Mr. Agnew’s resignation was worked out in advance with the Justice Department in exchange for a recommendation of “leniency” on the tax evasion charge and the dropping of all other pending criminal charges. Calling it a “tragic moment in history," Judge Hoffman said if the Justice Department had not intervened on Mr. Agnew’s behalf, “I would have sent him to jail.” President Nixon will move “expeditiously” to nominate a Vice-Presidential successor, who is subject to approval by a majority of both houses of Congress in accordance with the 25th Amendment to the Constitution. The White House indicated the President’s decision will not take a matter of weeks; some expected a nomination within a few days. . News Analysis Politics to influence possible successors by Howie Kurtz Editor-in-Chief The United States is now without a Vice President. President Nixon must now nominate a new Vice President who must be approved by a majority vote of both houses of Congress. Mr. Nixon met yesterday with “appropriate national leaders in and out of the Administration” including his staff, Cabinet and to find a members of Congress Vice-Presidential nominee to submit to Congress. The White - - House said the President will act “expeditiously,” indicating that his decision would not take a matter of weeks. Nobody could have expected a Vice-Presidential resignation when the 2Sth Amendment to the Constitution, designed to insure succession to the No. 2 spot in case of death or disability of the Vice President, was ratified in 1967. But the surprise resignation of Spiro T. Agnew yesterday has thrust the 25th Amendment into a politically charged situation in which a Democratically-controlled Congress must approve President Nixon’s nominee to the position a away from the heartbeat Presidency. threatening to attach a rider to any acceptance measure of a successor, stating that the new Vice President would agree not to run for President in 1976. They have admitted, however, that there may be no way for them to enforce such a pledge. “It would be unconstitutional" for Congress to attach such a rider, but “doubtful the courts would interfere," said W. Howard Mann, professor of law and consultant on the 25th Amendment. He added: “The Agnew’s reason for plea-bargaining was to escape a jail sentence." One argument previously raised against Democratic insistence on a non-Presidential person is that since the Vice President can at any moment become President of the United States, he should be a man of Presidential caliber. If Congressional Democrats cannot successfully insist on a new Vice President who would renounce his chances for 1976, the field then becomes rather vast. Two of the most-frequently mentioned names have been former Texas Governor and Treasury Secretary John Connally and New York Governor Nelson Rockefeller. Shocking letter The shocking announcement came at 2:0S p.m. yesterday as a hand-delivered letter to Secretary of State Henry Kissinger announced the Vice President’s resignation. A similar letter to President Nixon was delivered minutes later, but the White House announced that Mr. Agnew had informed the President of his decision to quit in a conversation in the Oval Office Tuesday night. Less than an hour later, Mr. Agnew pleaded no contest to the tax evasion charge, which fudge Hoffman said he considered the "equivalent of an admission of guilt.” Attorney General Elliot Richardson appeared in the Baltimore courtroom to announce that the Justice department had recommended Mr. Agnew not be imprisoned on the grounds that his resignation and tax charge conviction served as sufficient punishment. It appeared that Mr. Agnew had engaged -in plea bargaining with the Justice Department, exchanging his resignation and no-contest plea for a recommendation of leniency and the dropping of'any pending charges of bribery and extortion relating to his tenure as Maryland Governor and Baltimore County Executive. Mr. Agnew’s lawyers said he had agreed to plead no contest in order to spare the nation the agony of a trial that could have continued for years. Leniency recommended Attorney General Richardson later announced that there was evidence of “substantial cash payments” to Mr. Agnew from Maryland contractors “as recently as last December.” This was the first substantiated charge that Mr. Agnew received any kickbacks while he was Vice President. Explaining why the Justice Department decided against seeking indictments against Mr. Agnew for bribery and extortion, although there was evidence to support these charges, Mr. Richardson said to do so “would have been likely to inflict upon the nation serious and permanent scars.” He added that the case “would have consumed not simply months, but years.” y Regarding his recommendation that the former Vice President’s sentence include unsupervised probation, a fine “to be determined by the court” and that it not include confinement in jail, Mr. Ambitious Connally recent Richardson claimed that “leniency is justified” out Mr. Connally, a Democratic convert to the GOP, of “respect for the man Advancement springboard out of respect for the been criss-crossing the office he has held.” Judge Hoffman said he usually Mr. Agnew’s resignation has has left the field wide open for country, sounding out Republican sends income tax evaders to jail for two to five possible Republican Presidential leaders about his candidacy. He months. It would be “unthinkable” that the man candidates. The easiest way to has in effect begun running for the three second in line for the Presidency would be facing' Presidency years in become President, of course, is to be Vice President, and the three advance; the Vice Presidency trial for bribery and extortion charges over so long a remaining years in Mr. Agnew’s would be a welcome advancement period of time, Mr. Richardson added. term would, provide an excellent opportunity; and insiders have ... . s springboard 'for any Republican hopeful. Democratic leaders in Congress, however, are acain noted that Mr. Connally is a favorite of Mr. Nixon’s. However, —continued on back— < Cob payments In his statement to the court in Baltimore, Mr. Agnew said his decision to plead no-contest on the tax evasioh charge was made because he believed “the public interest requires swift disposition of the problems that are facing me.” Mentioning he had been advised that his case could drag on for years, Mr. Agnew said “the intense media interest in the case would distract public attention from important national problems to the country’s detriment.” In his statement to Judge Hoffman, Mr. Agnew conceded: “1 did receive payments during the year 1967 which were not expended for political purposes and that, therefore, these payments were income taxable to me in that year and that I so knew.” He also admitted that he awarded engineering contracts in Maryland to individuals who had made political contributions to his campaign, and that “I was aware of such awards.” He denied, however, that these contributions had ever influenced his actions as a public official. The Justice Department', however, as part of the plea bargaining which resulted in Mr. Agnew’s resignation, made public 40 pages of evidence in the case; the evidence is expected to support Mr. Richardson’s assertions that Mr. Agnew had received “substantial cash payments” as recently as last December. - ' Capitol bombshell It was reported that Mr. Agnew filed a false income tax return in 1967, claiming an income of $26,099 and taxes of $6416, while his income was actually $55,599, carrying taxes of $19,967. Outside the Baltimore courtroom, Mr. Agnew told newsmen: “1 categorically and flatly deny their [the prosecutors] assertions of bribery and extortion (Mi my part.” Mentioning that it would be “against the national interest to go through a long struggle on this matter,” the former Vice President added: “I will address the nation in a few days.” President Nixon said Mr. Agnew’s decision for reflecting concern over the national interest, and expressed hope that the country would extend “compassion and understanding” to Mr. Agnew and his family. The announcement hit Capitol Hill like a bombshell, and immediately ignited speculation as to who the new Vice President would be. Under the 25th Amendment to the Constitution, ratified in 1967 to-v insure Presidential succession. President Nixon must choose a nominee for the Vice Presidency who is subject to confirmation by a majority vote of both houses of Congress. Speculation plentiful consulted Mr. Nixon with yesterday “appropriate national leaders in and out of the Administration” including his staff, Cabinet and members of Congress about nominating a successor. The White House said the President would move “expeditiously” not within a matter of weeks, they specified to send a nominee to Congress. — — - — IS peculation has mentioned former Texas Governor and Treasury Secretary John Connally, New York Governor Nelson Rockefeller, California Governor Ronald Reagen, domestic advisor Melvin Laird, former Secretary of State William Rogers and Arizona Senator Barry Goldwater as possible nominees. A nominee might also come from outside political circles. [See News Analysis.] Democratic leaders said yesterday that they might insist on a nominee who would pledge not to run for President in 1976. Senator Henry Jackson (D., Wash.) said Congress would reject a Presidential nominee which indicated “pure and blatant partisanship.” Democrats in recent weeks have spoken of attaching a rider to any acceptance measure that a successor renounce any Presidential candidacy for 1976. One official claimed they would not “be a party to choosing someone who’s going to ran against us three yean from now.” Si&K/p*A �Successors DITO mi' iii in - Selective JUStlCe iiTn'~iniT~iin m - P^ cu nialt rK e —continued from front— • • • Rockefeller, “that nobody climbs to the top on the -dead bodies of veterans have the Democrats are manipulating the Agnew tragedy for partisan purposes. Then again, as one Democratic official said: “We’re not going to be a party to picking somebody who is going to run against us three years from now.” Congress will reject any Nixon nominee indicating “pure and blatant partisanship,” said Senator Henry Jackson (D., Wash.), Given the partisan political considerations versus the necessity to approve a candidate of Presidential caliber, the ideal their friends." iie added that he would support whoever President Nixon selects as a replacement. State Senate Deputy Majority Leader William T.

Graham, referring to protests on the part of Amherst Town officials against the UDC purchase. “I would rather see controlled growth than haphazard development.” Audubon, the UDC development corporation which is supervising development of the new town in Amherst with the same name, would also eventually control development of the FSA land to the north. This position was echoed by University assistant vice president Charles Balkin, a former secretary of FSA, who stated: “It serves nobody any purpose not to go through with it.” Mr. Balkin noted, however, that there might be reasons for Amherst officials to object to the sale. Since UDC is a state corporation, “when it takes over, there will be no more taxes,” stated Mr. Balkin. However, a previous contract between the Town of Amherst and UDC protects the town from such tax loss. The contract provides that the state and UDC must continue to pay taxes on UDC lands for at least six years. The controversy arose early last Thursday when Amherst Town Supervisor Allen E. Dekdebraun was informed by Audubon officials that secret negotiations between FSA and UDC had been taking place and the sale of the SOS acres was about to be finalized. The disclosure came when Audubon officials were told on Wednesday that the story would appear in The Spectrum that Friday, Oct. S. The story was then leaked to local papers by Audubon. Mr. Dekdebraun expressed dismay that he had been kept in the dark about the negotiations and took immediateaction to halt the closing of the sale, including pleas to Gov. Rockefeller for intervention, UDC later agreed not to finalize the sale until UDC president and chief executive officer Edward J. Logue could come to Amherst and meet with the Town officials. This should not delay final action on the sale, , .—continued on pag« 5— Campus Editor Only slightly more than half the undergraduates are satisfied with the present ABCDF grading system, according to results from last week’s Student Association (SA) referendum. The tallies showed that a large percentage of students objected to measuring academic achievement exclusively with mere letter marks. One student observed that “grades are inadequate approximations based on external standards which measure competitive performance, not learning.” However,, it is difficult to interpret preferences other than ABCDF because the figures are about equally distributed between the alternatives of plus-minus or pass-fail honors; and one-quarter of the voters simply chose “another system.” Apparently students who are not happy with the present system are clearly divided as to a suitable alternative; the 25% who preferred “another system” to ABCDF were not even sure what a viable alternative might be.. Bart of the ambiguity in the results may be attributed to the questions themselves. If questions I and 2 had been combined to read: “Do you prefer the present format, plus-minus, pass-honors-fail, or another system?”, perhaps the numbers would have been more clearly defined; and students who approved ABCDF would not have confounded the results by also choosing an alternative system. v ' Prefer written evaluations By an overwhelming majority, students voted 4-to-l and 2-to-l in favor of self-evaluation and mandatory written evaluations, respectively. Four out of five voters favored personally expressing what they derived from a course, through self-evaluation. Two of three supported mandatory written evaluations from the professor, elaborating his opinion of the student in explicit, written terms. These combined results indicate a strong feeling that letter grades alone are inadequate. One observer noted that it would be very difficult for professors to write accurate evaluations of students in large lecture classes, where grades are usually based on objective examinations. However, as SA Academic Affairs Coordinator Bob Kole indicated, evaluations could be required in upper level courses in a student’s major, where classes usually consist of no more than 35 people. The other important issue covered in the referendum concerned funding the Western New York Public Interest Research Group (WNYPIRG). The figures illustrated conclusively that students are against increasing the mandatory student fee by $3 to fund WNYPIRG; but support by 3-to-l a re-ordering of SA priorities to fund the consumer research group from within its existing budget. Where’s the money? SA is now faced with the dilemma of finding money for WNYPIRG from within its budget. SA President Jon Dandes said the Student Assembly promised money to various clubs and organizations last May, and five months of programming and planning has elapsed since then. It would be very difficult to justify cutting one group’s budget at this time in order to allocate enough money (about $20,000) for WNYPIRG to join state-wide NYPIRG, Mr. Dandes indicated. Stating that “it would be more appropriate to talk about joining NYPIRG next year,’’ Mr. Dandes said: “By that time, WNYPIRG will be ready to present a budget and everyone will be given an equal chance at the hearings.’’ He added that SA “could scrounge up enough money to keep WNYPIRG operating on a local level” for die remainder of this year. • �Dorm phone service lacks student listings WIRR The return of dorms’ radio There is a distinct disadvantage in owning an on-campus phone: no dorm student may be listed in the Buffalo Telephone Directory.

The Board also resolved to take legal action to prevent the land’s sale if FSA did not agree to the establishment of the trust at its meeting yesterday. The original intent of the land purchase in 1964 was for the recreational and educational benefit of the student body, explained Nick Sarget, Sub-Board attorney. He maintained that for FSA to “turn around and' sell 4he“ land” without turhirtg 'theproceeds over to the' students Wafc “a flagrant violation df corporate laW.” Sub-Board’s major concern is to insure that the funds will continue to benefit University students. incorporation in 1971 as the fiscal arm of the student associations, there have been legal problems in transferring the land or its proceeds to Sub-Board. The sale, presently being negotiated with UDC by the FSA, would bring in approximately $ 1.67 million. University President Robert Ketter, also president of FSA, has maintained that the interest from investing the receipts of the sale would be turned over to Sub-Board I “as long as it continued to represent students.” No criteria for such a judgment has yet been been announced. Sub-Board members ware prompted to pass their resolution on the establishment of a trust fund because of the lethargy of FSA in taking such an action. The FSA Board of Directors had discussed the formation of aturst in 'the past, > but' the discussion' never reached a formal stage. Now that the sale of the land is pending, Sub-Board members are seeking assurances that a trust will indeed be established and that the money won’t be diverted from students. Sale negotiated “We are not specifying what The land, approximately SOS acres located in the town of kind of trust will be set up,” said Amherst, was purchased by FSA one Sub-Board member. “Its just in 1964 with funds primarily that FSA never gave us an derived from mandatory student assurance that one would be set fees. Since Sub-Board’s up.” Amherst buses Inconvenient scheduling Students living on the Amherst Campus are being inconvenienced on Sundays as a result of the Housing Office’s decision to run one bus an hour between campuses instead of two. Dewey Bush, assistant director of Housing, said the decision was based on an analysis of “customer counts,” or the number of passengers per bus during the last three weeks. Although an average of 25 people ride each bus during the week, the average drastically drops to 8.5 persons per bus on Sundays, We will visit your campus on Thursday, October 11 The Institute for Paralegal Training the way the schedule is set up, they usually arrive at classes either half an hour early or a half hour late. adequate.” Because the coach vehicles presently in use have a capacity of 78 and only an average of 44 people ride them after 5 p.m., Housing has also decided to use school buses after five. Housing feels it cannot justify the use oif a coach when a school bus will suffice, Mr. Bush explained. Lack of passengers IRC President Arthur Gordon said that “statistics demonstrated that the heed [for the larger vehicles] was not there” and agreed with Housing’s decision. Both Mr. Bush and Mr. Gordon pointed out that the lack of passengers was also responsible for the termination of nighttime bus service between Amherst and Ridge Lea. An average of only 1.9 people rode that bus at night. Realizing this would inconvenience a few people, Mr. Gordon said: “You can’t satisfy everyone all the time.” The new schedule, he added, “has established an equilibriun and is the best possible service they could provide with the money they have.” Others have indicated that the bus leaves the Main Campus ten to the hour, the same time classes end. This means they must wait 30 minutes for the next bus. A former Allenhurst resident added: “Last year there were three buses an hour to Allenhurst, where only 575 people lived and no classes, yet now there’s a campus six miles away with classes and 800 residents. Something is wrong, man." One problem Housing had to contend with, according to Mr. Bush, was a smaller allocation of money than had been expected, but refused to elaborate about specific amounts of money because it was “outside of his authority” to do so. However, an IRC official indicated that only $200,000 had been received from an expected $263,000. A subsequent request for an additional $40,000 was denied. “If a problem exists, it is in the state,” said Mr. Gordon. “It’s not within the University [because] Housing has done a great job,” he asserted. Mr. Gordon noted the state’s refusal to install kitchenettes on the new campus at a ratio of one unit for every 32 students even though such space was provided. ikingsholm Restaurant Lounge 3500 Sheridan Drive A mile west (l ofMillers port) -836-7736Seafood Steaks from 4 p.m. daily & Meeting MsBi party facilities 235 South 17th Street.

It’s 3:30 a.m. and the waitresses, bartender and other hired help are stacking chairs, mopping the floor and cleaning glasses. A ghostly figure on stage handles a microphone nervously, moving it back and forth, obviously uncomfortable with it. “Martyrdom: Phew! That’s a heavy trip, man. I mean, they’ve made me a fuckin’ folk hero man. It just, y’know, it just whacks me out completely. Dig. I’ve been dead over six years now, and I’ve got more fans than I ever did. It’s unreal, man. People who ' microphone and drove recording engineers crazy. He shots at his slurred his words.He took cheap pot victims. He was simply a night club comic who made some of the best satire in recent times. When police in Chicago, Los Angeles, San Francisco and New York saw fit to arrest him for saying what he saw, Bruce became a martyr. The controversial “sick comic” was persecuted, hunted and hounded to his death. \ Respectability Now, of course, Bruce has become respectable and it is only fitting that his memory be honored a college with the ultimate mark of respectability course devoted to his life and work. It’s probably been done before. Some Bruce freak starts a course somewhere and the graven image is set up for worship. Rob Peters, who teaches ‘The Life and Wit of Lenny Bruce” hopes to “get away from that folk-hero veneer.” College E offers the course (COE 417, registration number 000602), which meets Monday and Wednesday evenings in MacDonald Hall basement. The course is still open. Mr. Peters said the course is designed to present Bruce’s material analytically, discussing Bruce’s different roles as social critic, societal shaman and satirist. Mr. Peters is fascinated by the environment that produced Lenny Bruce a show business, burlesque, 19S0’s jazz culture and growing up Jewish in Brooklyn in the ’20‘s and ’30’s. He hopes to bring other topics into the discussion of Bruce’s work, topics like the uses of slang and pornography in humor, the effects of obscenity rulings on free speech and art, burlesque and its influence and the - - nature of satire. Seminal influence Mr. Peters considers Bruce a “seiminal influence” on performing humor. The rambling, raunchy style of the typical AM radio rock disc jockey even if it is poor humor is the result of Bruce’s work. The course will involve written projects and an oral presentation. Mr. Peters said no one can really understand the work of a stand-up comic without standing up and doing comedy. Those top bashful to fulfill the requirement will be allowed to substitute some written humor.' But Mr. .Peters is “disappointed” with one aspect of the course. He wanted a “more diverse crew” of students. Of his 15 students, all are white, are 14 are male, most are Jewish and liberal-minded types who aren’t offended by anything Bruce said. In short, they are “Bruce Freaks,” those already converted. Mr. Peters said he wished he could get a reactionary or two in his class so there would be some real discussion. In the absence of any real controversy, Mr. Peters said he must show the “underground superstar” has clay feet. He will spend a great deal of time examining Bruce’s weak points; his constant repetition of “y’know,” his dated humor, his slurred delivery, his occasional low humor, his standard ’SO’s hipster finger-snapping, and other faults in his < — - —York Rob Peters were kids when I was working eat my stuff up.

His worshippers have apotheosized him, turned him into a cult hero, made him something more than human. But he was merely human. He said, “y’know” too much. He couldn’t handle a Bruce aimed many of his satiric shafts at people whose positions gave them superhuman status; he could not have approved of his new inflated legend. If Mr. Peters’ course succeeds, perhaps we will be spared another tiresome legend. >D FOR 30c TOWARD DINNER Rachel Carson-College Presents — Spectrum diploma or a skill demonstrating an “equivalency.” Ms. Hasso cited the example of an auto mechanic with no high school diploma who sought admission to Empire State College. Because he had previously taught a mechanics course to 29 people, he was school by Richard Lapping Staff Writer “We’re moving the college to wherever the students are working,” said James W. Hall, President of the rapidly-expanding Empire State College. Unique in comparison to any other SUNY school. Empire State College was created as an alternative approach to higher education. The College’s four main learning centers are located in New York City, Long Island, Albany and Rochester. Two additional “convenience” centers are being planned for Buffalo and Binghamton, said Dr. Hall. Smaller “learning units” are situated at Westchester, Plattsburg, Utica and New Paltz. Once admitted, students are assigned a faculty “mentor” who assists them in planning their curriculum. Ms. Hasso said; “There is no hiding at a college like this. The students map out a specific contract for a certain amount of time, work and credit.” Students can take courses at widespread locations. “Many mentors have connections in foreign countries with whom students can work,” Ms. Hasso explained. “We even have a learning unit in London.” Commenting on a student who studied European History and Psychology in Beirut, she said he dropped out of a “traditional” college before coming to Empire State. He is now working towards his masters degree at the University of California. ■ r< f'r ‘Radical experiment Founded in 1971 with an •* - pf 38, Empire State has expanded to 1900 students ranging in age from 16-66. A Master Plan detailing the future of “SUNY’s most radical higher education experiment” was recently released by Albany. Unlike admissions policies at most institutions, students are admitted monthly, according to initial enrollment Barbara Hasso, Director of Public Relations for Empire State College. Admission to Empire State College requires a high admitted. “However, Empire State College works like a regular four-year school in terms of time input and credit received,” she added. y Extensive application Ms. Hasso indicated Exam Scores,” added Dr. Hall/ “Our students must demonstrate clear goals and high motivation.” Skilled individuals from many communities are being hired to aid and tutor students whenever the need arises. Leslie Fiedler, a professor of English at the State University of Buffalo, has worked with Empire State students. A number of “Special Purpose Programs" are being offered and others are planned. The Kellogg Foundation is presently funding a program to explore and improve the technical drills of blue-collar laborers. An urban studies center is also planned, offering programs performing arts, in communications, urban social services, and labor and industry. There have been 191 graduates of Empire State College thus far. According to Dr. Hall, 75% 6f the who, appUed ato graduate were admitted. “We’re graduates school beginning to get a picture of what is happening to graduates of Empire State College,” & “There are a great number of students who need alternative ways of education,” Dr. Hall surmised. “So many people have wanted degrees but didn’t have the opportunity to get them,” added Ms. Hasso. *Tt’s great to see this program in action.” """""""""Clip and save!"""""""

Responding to the call of SA President Jon Dandes, who noticed the gun on the indivdual’s hip as he removed his coat, several Campus Security officers grabbed the individual, seized his gun and unloaded it. He was then arrested, just prior to the Conference Theater showing of The Godfather. Witnesses said the student was inebriated and “acting irrational,” according to Security. The student has been charged with public intoxication, but according to Lee Griffin, assistant director of Security, a weapons charge is doubtful. Apparently, the student is a summertime employee of the Buffalo Parks Department and, according to Mr. Griffin, if he is still on the payroll, “he has full police officer powers.” In addition, Mr. Griffin said the gun appears to be an issued weapon, but this has not Grading analysis. Based on the students’ 3-to-l decision for SA to reorder its priorities this year, there has been that WNYPIRG officials will speculation undoubtedly attempt to pressure SA into allocating the full $20,000 necessary to join NYPIRG. Co-chairman Michele Smith, who has been fighting to obtain funds for WNYPIRG since last spring, conceded that “the referendum is not binding, nothing has been changed.” However, she emphasisjed that “WNYPIRG will do everything in its power to satisfy the students’ wishes, which we feel are to join NYPIRG.” Ms. Smith believes “WNYPIRG has the support of the Student Assembly in securing necessary funds.” Stressing the importance of NYPIRG in organizing the various PIRG’s in New York State under a central office, she said the director? ofNYPIRG will be responsible i for deciding major policy and yet been confirmed. The uncertainty of the individual’s status and of the gun he was carrying will hopefully be cleared up as soon as the desired information can be obtained from the Parks Department, explained Mr. Griffin. The Israel counter-attacked on two fronts Tuesday as its reinforced units pushed Egyptian and Syrian troops back toward the cease-fire lines. Preceded by Israeli air attacks against airfields, missile bases and other targets deep inside Egypt and Syria, the counter-offensive marked the successful 48-hour mobilization of Israeli forces. According to U.N. observers, Egypt and Syria attacked Israel simultaneously on two fronts early Saturday, causing a rapid military build-up on Yom Kippur, the holiest day of the Jewish year. Egypt and Syria had made initial gains across the cease-fire lines set after the 1967 six-day war. But Israeli strategy has been to concede initial Arab gains, mobilize quickly, and use tactical air support and ground troops to surround and push back enemy forces. This is exactly what Israel has done, and by mid-Tuesday an Israeli spokesman reported that 90 Egyptian and Syrian aircraft had been downed, including a dozen troop-carrying helicopters. information was unattainable on Monday as the Parks Department was closed for the Columbus Day holiday. The Buffalo Police Department is now in possession of the gun and the case in now under their jurisdiction. This incident occurred at a time when the question of arming Campus Security has evolved into a full-scale controversy. Some have therefore questioned whether or not this incident was a setup in order to dramatize the need for an armed Security force. However, no evidence has been established to support such a thesis. When asked if such an incident seemed unusual amid the controversy about arming Security, one Security officer remarked: “It happens fifty times if it happens once a year.” —continued from page 1— . - . coordinating a permanent professional staff to direct research and provide continuity. In addition, Debbie Benson, Tyrone Saunders, and Paul Kade were elected as representatives to both Student Association of the State University (SASU) and State University Student Assembly (SUSA). Also, Michael Phillips was elected to fill the fourth available SASU position. Only 1700 students out of a possible 12,000 voted in this referendum. The low turnout of undergraduate students once again leads many to question the purpose and validity of referendums in general. Referendums have never been binding; its only power is that of public opinion. But if more students were concerned with making their voices heard on important issues, SA would give more serious consideration to referendum results. Until that time, referendums will remain mere formalities, all too easy to overlook. The UUAB Film Committee in association with The Small Animat Administration is pleased to present Resistance high Despite conflicting military reports, it appeared Israel had been largely successful in repelling initial Arab gains and driving them back toward the cease-fire lines. But the fighting and casualties were heavy, resistance was high, and many signs point to many more days of protracted fighting. Meanwhile, in the first raid on a populous area, Israeli jets attacked the Mediterranean end of the Suez Canal and unleashed bombs on POrt Said, a city of about 180,000. Egypt reported civilian casualities and homes destroyed; an Israeli communique said the attack was aimed at military bases and missile sites around Port SAid, mentioning no attack on the city itself. Fighting was particularly intense in the Golan heights, where Syria amassed a force of 800 tanks and had driven three wedges into Israeli territory. Egypt reported that its troops had raided the Israeli-occupied Egyptian oil fields on the Gulf of Suez and set large fires. Egypt also claimed to have “liberated” El Qantara, a city halfway down the Suez Canal from Port Said. Taking the offensive Israel is determined to “break and destroy” the Syrian -apd Egyptian forces, Lieut. Gen. David Elazar, the Israeli Chief of Staff, said at a news conference. Asked if an Israeli offensive would carry beyond the 1967 cease-fire lines, the general replied: “I have to remind you that the cease-fire lines are not marked in the terrain.” he added; “We are attacking the enemy wherever it is necessary. And we shall destroy them wherever possible.” It is difficult to obtain independent verification of conflicting military reports since correspondents are not allowed in the area. But it appears the critical moment for Israel in the fourth Middle East war came when their rapid mobilization enabled them to shift from the defensive to the offensive and begin repelling Arab gains. Meanwhile, American officials indicated that the Soviet Union shared American desires that the Middle East conflict be containe; and ended quickly. President Nixon and Soviet leader Leonid Brezhnev exchanged messages through diplomatic channels, the White House disclosed. Secretary of State Kissinger has also been in contact with the Soviets, the Israelis and the Arabs in diplomatic efforts to stop the fighting. And the Senate passed a cease-fire resolution calling for a return of Israeli and Arab forces to the positions they occupied before the outbreak of war on Saturday.

Unlike a state or national referendum, where the results translate into immediate approval of a bill or proposal, a referendum on this campus can be all too easily ignored. Since only a fraction of the students bother to vote in them, they are frequently dismissed as "unrepresentative." Since they are not binding, campus referendums are actually more that is, they are a rough analagous to a Harris Poll indication of public opinion. No one would contend that referendums are as statistically accurate as random sampling, since they are biased in the direction of those who bother to vote. But when students voted 4-to-1 against the arming of Campus Security last year, even though that ratio might have been inflated, it's safe to assume that a majority of students oppose arming. In short, despite their faults and shortcomings, referendums do provide the best, if approximate, indication of the feelings of a diverse body of 12,000 undergraduates. On the issue of the funding of WNYPIRG, the results of last week's SA referendum are quite clear. By a 4-to-1 margin, students vetoed raising the mandatory student fee by $3 in order to fund WNYPIRG. But three out of four students called upon Student Association to re-order its by Max Lerner priorities and fund the consumer research organization from within its present budget. Even discounting biases in the The biggest thing VERMILION, S.D. direction of those motivated enough to go to the polls, this the is that we are no longer young still represents an overwhelming student mandate to fund happening to — . The Max Lerner Column " " - WNYPIRG. But as with any situation where allocation of money is involved, now comes the politics. Finding $15,000 or $20,000 for WNYPIRG wilt necessitate siphoning money from other club budgets. This is going to require some give-and-take from the club members whose budgets will suffer. In a Student Assembly comprised of interest groups, conflicting self-interest could welt stymie the attempt to find that money. Trying to spread out the cuts as thinly as possible so as to minimize their effect on any one organization would be the fairest, and most politically viable, route. We're sure a close scrutinizing look at the inflated athletic budget (team travel expenses in particular), whose varsity programs benefit a relative few, could yield a few thousand. White clubs cater to special interests, everyone is a consumer, and WNYPIRG will therefore benefit everybody, directly or indirectly. But when politics complicate the attempt to fund WNYPIRG, both the Student Assembly and SA executive committee should remember one thing: the students have mandated that they want WNYPIRG funded. Re-ordering priorities is never easy; but three out of four undergrads have asked SA to do it. In the area of grading, the voting results are more ambiguous. Students were not only clearly divided on whether the present ABCDF system is acceptable, but were evenly split on possible alternatives. The plus-minus and pass-fail-honors options each received some support, while 25% chose "another system." In the absence of any clear-cut preferences, we urge that much-needed research be done into graduate school acceptance criteria. Such research would be invaluable to all those seeking "post-graduate studies, in determining how much weight various grad schools assign to scores, board grade-point average, transcripts,recommendations and the like. We believe many students shied away from the pass-fail-honors option because they felt it would be competitively unfeasible; but there is a pitiful lack of hard facts in this area. One definite feeling emerged, however: The students are dissatisfied with letter grades alone overwhelming endorsement of self-evaluation and mandatory written evaluations indicate that students realize that an A or a B is only an approximate, inadequate label. While it has been noted that written evaluations would be unworkable in large lecture classes, they are both quite possible and sorely needed in the upper level courses in a student's major. We urge that the Faculty-Senate and other appropriate bodies begin an investigation immediately into the feasibility of rpandatory written evaluations by the instructor in upper level major courses. These are the courses grad schools are most interested in, and a comprehensive written assessment would heavily compensate for arbitrary cut-offs and grading curves. It might also foster closer contact betweenprofessors who know they must make indiwiduatevaluations and their students. Besides, it is about time this University offered a more realistic and comprehensive evaluation of its highly individualistic students than simply stamping them A,B or C. Written evaluations would be a start. . Plage six The Spectrum Wednesday, 10 October 1973 . . obsessed with what is happening to the young. Suddenly all those books I have accumulated on shelves ever since the Free Speech Movement in my Berkeley in 1964 on the militants and radicals, on violence as a form of protest, on campus disruptions, on smashed computers, kidnapped administrators and convulsed classrooms, on whether the generations are natural enemies look yellowed and archaic. What dim prehistoric past were their authors writing about? Everything happens terribly fast in our society; Even the slowing downs take place fast. We use up our movements, heroes, villains, shocks, causes celebres, martyrdoms, historical turning points as if they were kindling wood in a sharp breeze on a beach. One spring day, after the Capibodian invasion and the Kent State killings, you on your campus talking about student anger and violence, and the next fall you came back and it was no longer the same campus. You didn’t recognize it. Here in George McGovern country, where Reid Buckley and I have been debating at the University of South Dakota about where the blame for Watergate belongs, you do recognize many features of the pre-Berkeley campuses. In fact, the thing to remember is that the fires of those seven flaming years of campus violence, from 1964 to 1971, savaged the Ivy League and multiversity battle grounds but left heartland America less affected. It follows that the decelerations, which have been so sharp at Harvard, Yale, Cornell, Berkeley, Stanford, Brandeis, are less marked at Bermilion. Where there was less changed, there is less to change back. But that doesn’t mean there is a young apathy rampant in the country. We expected a sizable student turnout for our Watergate discussion: What we got was something close to a mob scene, at a time when Sam Ervin’s own show in Washington was languishing. Some recent visits during the opening weeks of other colleges, in Florida and Pennsylvania, bear out my impression that campuses are far from somnolent. Changes there have been in the student profile, as several recent national surveys suggest.

However, no unsigned letters will be considered for talking about and to their parents. Drugs are on the wane, but alcohol is moving in as a problem (on some campuses alcohol has all along been the problem, even when drugs were on the increase). Religion is back, both in the form of the New Primitives, a kind of resurrected fundamentalism, but also of new efforts to give content to institutional church forms. The all-purpose jeans are of course dominant, as a unisex uniform, but dresses are coming back for girls, and legs are showing again. There is talk about fraternities being back, which would trouble me if it proves true: They were always the dreariest element of college life. It is also hard to dragoon students (even as freshmen and sophomores) to live in dormitories, even with new parietal rules. They have tasted the new sexual freedoms and want to live off cim pus, to the dismay of administrators who need student rents to pay off those construction loans. There, is great interest in teaching, as the job openings for teachers dwindle. There is resentment against the deadwood professors whom the educational ferment hasn’t yet reached. Any young teacher with some sparks of fire in his belly gets an eager following of students. There is a sharp increase in students wanting to go to law, medical and architectural schools, not to hang out a shingle and get rich but to make a living and a life, and do something for social health. Career orientation is back, as dating is back, too, and the dream of a home, mostly (although not necessarily) with marriage, and of children (two or three, not more). The women’s movement has caught on everywhere, but not in its more absurd forms. On coed campuses, girls arc moving in as student leaders, and they outorganize as well as outcharm the boys. A speaker gets his best response talking about a realistic approach to power, welfare, technology, bureaucracies and, especially, values. Liberalism is by no means dead, even here after the disillusioning McGovern disaster of 1972. Nor has Watergate doomed the public service career, although it has dimmed it.

We are well aware of this situation and are attempting to service the students who live in the North Campus residence halls. This year, beginning in November, we have secured the use of Sweet Home High School and its three gyms two nights a week. This is a very excellent facility which we used one night a week last year. Our students conducted themselves very appreciatively out there last year, which is largely the reason we were able to get the second night at Sweet Home this year. Mr. Monkarsh plans an intramural league of North Campus students who will come at assigned times at this facility. Additionally, three or four swim sessions at the Sweet Home facility are possibilities, and we are presently planning on bringing the athletic program closer to the North Campus by staging an intercollegiate wrestling match at Sweet Home in February. There are some rather well developed field areas across Millersport (behind the band building), and students on the North Campus are invited to use these. They belong to the University. Intramural softball and touch football leagues, exclusively for North Campus residents, are being planned. Through the cooperation of Mr. Telfer and the residence hall people, arrangements are being completed to establish a recreational storage area at the North Campus for intramural storage and as a headquarters for the program. Unfortunately, the move to the North Campus comes at a time when the intramural-recreation budgets have been necessarily reduced from the requested amount and held to approximately last year’s level. We are somewhat handicapped in doing all that we would like to do. North Campus residents are asked to contact Mr, Monkarsh, , director of Intramurals and Recreatipn Service, concerning the program and facilities for North Campus students. Mr. Monkarsh plans to meet regularly with representatives of North Campus students. Harry Firtz, Dean School of Health Education “Hello, Angela Davis? You May Be A Little Surprised To Hear From Me * . . . mssmws A VK£ F*?es/Pe/V7~ or me - revolution. ‘ v As you know, the sit-in was staged to protest the selective arming of Campus Security. About 40 students, occupied Ketter’s office Wednesday afternoon and Larry went down to cover the story. I had to run over with a press card for him in case he got arrested. Unfortunately, none of us were so lucky. When 1 got there I had to pick my way across Campus Security guards, Buffalo newsmen, TV cameras, extension cords, University administrators and other machines. Bob Kole, in the standard student uniform faded jeans and a light blue denim work shirt was playing mediator for the cameras. Larry filled me in on all the gory details. Ron Stein had just left after communicating Ketter’s threat to have them all arrested and the leaders (sic) argued over a compromise to keep from getting now get this “causing the arrested and leadership to die.” Kole said the administration would agree to meet with 12 chosen apostles if the rest of the crowd would sit-in in the waiting room to “preserve the sanctity of the office.” While the students argued over the proposal, Dave Saleh came in very earnestly and repeated everything that Kole had said. This, apparently, set the pattern of his behavior for the rest of the “riot.” Eventually, the students decided to accept the deal and picked 12 representatives. Needless to say, given the ideological predelictions of the so-called leaders, they were not from all 12 tribes. As I’ve told you before, the opposition to arming the campus cops comes from a wide ideological spectrum and the leaders of the sit-in came close to blowing the coalition to bits. We all went up to 290 Hayes while I made profound and clever remarks to the various newsmen hoping they would quote me on the 6 o’clock news. They didn’t, which shows you the journalistic standards in this — — — — town. While we waited for Ketter, I turned on the fan, figuring things would get hot enough. Meanwhile, out of sight and earshot of the major part of their supporters, the delegation proceeded to re-argue whether they should present themselves as a united front of students opposed to arming or as a coalition of leftist groups. You may think the question is absurd, but one’s perspective gets a bit warped after — — - Your son, Clem The Spectrum Wednesday, 10 October 1973 Vol. 24.

Sunday, I saw Deep Throat, Tuesday, 1 hit President Ketter in the face with a cream pie, and Wednesday, I witnessed my very first sit-in. For someone whose protests against the established order of things was restricted to scurrilous cartoons in a high school underground newspaper, the sit-in was a real education and one hell of a lot of laughs. If you’re worried about a revolution don’t. These overthrowing the government schmucks couldn’t organize a picnic, let alone a trying to provoke a worker’s revolution from a student union. We both know what would happen if they tried anything in a factory. The group elected a chairwoman, a girl from my art class who can’t draw worth a damn, and hashed over whether to oppose arming or come on like revolutionaries. Eventually cooler heads prevailed and they decided to stick to their original intention. Larry and I watched one representative who we were sure would blow the whole thing. I went out to go to the bathroom (Dean Ebert was kind enough to direct me to it some revolution!) and when I returned, the newsmen outside 290 were discussing something intently. As I drew closer, I heard them talking not about the sit-in, but about the busting of Deep Throat. Then Kctter came into the room, followed by nearly a dozen newsmen and cameras. The students put their hands in front of their faces and demanded that the cameras be removed because “the films can be subpoenaed in a court of law and used against us.” By now, of course, they had had their pictures taken innumerable times. In fact, a Security officer was snapping pictures with an empty camera just to see their reactions. Some of the students demanded that the other people who accompanied Ketter must go. They included Vice President Somit, who is in charge of Campus Security; Dean Hull, who chaired the committees dealing with the question of arming the officers; Ketter’s lawyer, and Vice President Siggelkow, who is in charge of student affairs, which this affair certainly was. Through force rather than logic, Ketter managed to get them to agree that maybe these people belonged there. Siggelkow, diplomat that he tries to be, left so the students could save face and took the cameras with him. As you can well imagine, the meeting was a joke. The students had decided to ask Ketter for a categorical guarantee that there would be no arming and, if he refused to give it, walk out. In the confusion of the meeting, they almost forgot to ask him if he would arm Campus Security before they walked out and only when Larry and I told Kole to raise the question was it asked. Saleh played much the same role in 290 that he played in Ketter’s office, repeating what everyone said. Here it was worse because no one said anything worth repeating. After the meeting with the 12 broke up, the students in Ketter’s waiting room left for the night. They were back marching around the campus the next day, but by then, the excitement was over. The farce wasn’t even good theater. Normally, 1 would seize upon it for a column, but I’m not sure even I can get some real humor out of it it’s just too pathetic. It did have one good effect. I always wondered what I would do if the days of student protest ever came back. Now I know I’d laugh.

Wednesday, 10 October 1973 The Spectrum Page seven . . �Editor's note: Due to typographical errors, the holiday weekend and the importance of this issue, we are reprinting the editorial on the arming of Campus Security from Friday's The Spectrum. „ Editorial No gons-and the consequences The arming of Campus Security is such an emotional issue that both sides have been long on frenzied rhetoric and short on rational facts. The rightists view arming Security as a panacea against crime, and the leftists see arming as an instrument of political repression engineered by Dr. Ketter. Both are dead wrong. We oppose the arming of Campus Security, selective or otherwise. The Student Assembly's repeated opposition the despicable fact that students on the committee which recommended arming the fact that the rarely attended committee itself was split and last year's referendum vote of 4-to-1 against arming clearly indicates that students don't want guns on campus. We agree. The potential danger of introducing guns far outweighs any possible benefits. Selectively arming two officers per shift to patrol three campuses would be less than effective; Security admits arming would not be any deterrent against crime. Instead, assistant director Lee Griffin says armed officers would have the "peace of mind" that "in any dangerous situation, they have a 50-50 chance of coming out." However, as they have up to now, unarmed officers must try to avoid direct confrontations with armed opponents, whereas introducing a second gun would exacerbate any confrontation and probably lead to gunfire. If an officer is unarmed, there is little reason for an opponent to fire and add armed assault to his crime; if an officer draws a gun, the opponent knows he's going to use it. This will lead to gunfire and possible injury to student bystanders. Additionally, many of the Hull committee's recommendations are now outdated. In the last two years. Campus Security has reduced campus crime by 38%, raised morale, instituted a requirement of two years of college for officers, and won the respect of many students all without guns. In any given year since 1970, no more than eight incidents of armed persons on campus have been recorded, so armed confrontation is infrequent so infrequent that it cannot justify the exacerbating and Big Brother influence that armed plainclothesmen on campus would bring. Even in dangerous situations, would giving Security guns place their lives in less jeopardy? Probably not. Despite all this, there are hard facts which cannot be ignored. There is crime on campus. The University is no ivory tower; it's a Buffalo community, and what other community has an unarmed police force? It is unreasonable to expect unarmed officers to go into dangerous situations. ''If we're to have total law enforcement responsibility, we must be equipped for that task," said Mr. Griffin. "If not, our role must be re-defined." — — — _ — — His re-definition for an unarmed Security force would be to remove dangerous situations.from their area of responsibility. And this is the crucial question one which anti-arming radicals have totally failed to consider: If Security is not armed, who will handle dangerous situations and armed confrontations? Alternative tactics may be of some value. Security's dogs were originally designed for danger, but they are unsuitable in crowded situations (and so are guns); and neither students nor Security wants the dogs patrolling the dorms and the Union. Other non-lethal weapons, such as tear gas, could be useful, but again in a limited number of situations. Calling in the Buffalo Police is a highly undesirable alternative, because of the time delay and because the city cops have little sense of student problems and situations, as Campus Security does. Finally, there is the option of Security agents simply refusing to respond • to dangerous calls. They have frequently disarmed persons with knives, but would be totally justified in avoiding confronting opponents with guns. Non-intervention might minimize physical danger while accepting property loss in burglaries, but would leave the victims of violent crimes tike assaults and rapes completely defenseless. Overly-paranoid anti-arming students have not dealt with this problem. We oppose any form of arming. The dangers of guns on campus far outweigh the possible benefits. But if we accept an unarmed Security force, we must be aware of the consequences. Those consequences would be either seeing the Buffalo Police on this campus or virtually no protection for students against violent crimes. Although the Hull committee researched this problem and decided the only workable compromise was selectively arming two highly-trained officers per shift (with more stringent training requirements than the city or state police), we urge more research into non-lethal tactics which Security could apply in dangerous situations. This is the only middle road between the detrimental influence of guns and a total lack of protection. If we don't want guns, we may have to accept dogs patrolling the dorms, tear gas, or other distasteful alternatives. But these hard choices must be made if we want any kind of protection on this campus. A liberal who is assaulted very quickly becomes a conservative. Those opposed to arming have now voiced their concern, but future takeovers of Dr. Ketter's office will not solve the problem. Hard decisions are in order. It is not enough to simply oppose arming. We must weigh the alternatives and find a solution if we want both no guns and a safe campus. Page eight.

While I disagree with the fashion he has chosen to :• > unni.', 'i ’ implement this program, that is, the intent to which he has or has not consulted the University community about this issue, nevertheless, realizing the present circumstances, 1 fundamentally accept the manner and extent of armament he has proposed as stated in the guidelines (published in the Reporter). **** Three viewpoints lend support to the current armament proposals for three separate reasons: The conservatives might simply maintain that the nature and frequency of particular crimes justifies selective arming of specific officers; a liberal viewpoint might reflect the idea that by minimizing the opportunity for external control and maximizing the amount of internal policing we, the UB community, would decrease potential hassles in the long run. Kent State, Jackson State and Southern University were all examples of inappropriate external control. Finally, a radical might not accept either of the aforementioned reasons for arms. He/she might, however, be willing to accept this limited proposal (even though ideally he/she doesn’t endorse any arming of security at all), since the alternative, again looking ahead a bit, could be far more drastic. I am referring to the rumor of a bill in the NYS legislature (supported by the union which represents Campus Security) that would empower campus police, while on duty, with the same authority that all police officers have. In other words, rather than having only two well trained officers per shift armed (and President Ketter currently retains the privilege to rescind these officer’s authority to bear arms), instead all the security officers would be allowed to carry pistols. In conclusion, I confess that I am far from enthusiastic about even selective arming of campus security officers but given the circumstances (i.e., the radical point in particular and to some extent the other two viewpoints as well) I will publicly endorse the streamlined proposal as endorsed in the guidelines. Danny Freund �To arm, or not to arm? by Larry Kraftowitz Campus Editor Exactly seven days after a coalition of students occupied the office of President Robert Ketter, the selective arming controversy continues to gather momentum and threatens to shatter the silence that has prevailed on campus since Spring, 1970. The mere presence of guns on campus will inevitably lead to violence, contend many of those opposed to the arming of Campus Security. Unable to dissassociate lethal weapons from the tragedies of Kent State, Jackson State and Southern University, they feat arming will be the initial step in a campaign to politically suppress student groups who oppose the Administration’s policies. Despite widespread and documented student opposition (as evidenced by last year’s referendum vote of 4-1 against arming), Dr. Ketter has argued that in those few instances where unarmed officers must deal with armed criminals, arming may be justified. Although* he has yet to make a final decision on arming, he recently said: “1 would personally like to see, in some instances, more people on Security have more control.” News analysis Although Dr. Ketter cited two past cases where Security officers were reluctant to face lethal threats, assistant director of Campus Security Lee Griffin said he did “not look to justify arming by using these past instances. It’s by the unknown, by what lies out there that hasn’t yet occurred, that we measure the need for arming by,” Mr. Griffin undertaken only wider die strictest of guidelines. Besides calling for mandatory training sessions, the report demands that those carrying guns have a working knowledge of the behavioral sciences and an awareness of “the legal, ethical, and moral aspects of the ultimate force.” Additionally, a University Security Review Board would review investigations ofany instance of firearm discharge or even “display.” (Display signifies the actual drawing of a weapon from its holster). Despite these precautions, the crucial question left unanswered by the guidelines is: “What is a lethal threat?” Sole discretion Mr. Griffin maintained such a judgment would depend solely upon the discretion of the armed call for an ad-hoc officer. “What do you do committee while someone is being raped?” he asked. According to one member of the Students Against Armed Security, however, the line between “use” and “non-use” is much too vague. Fearing that a Security Officer might loosely interpret the guidelines and use his gun unwisely, he said: “Our definition of lethal threat might not be the same as theirs.” In a much broader perspective, Mr. Griffin defended arming by stating that he had never heard of a case where a campus officer had fired at a student, despite the fact that 85% of the country’s college campuses have armed security forces. Responding to allegations that the mere presence of guns bn campus could stimulate the atmosphere that led to Kent State, he asserted that it had been National Guardsman that fired the shots in Ohio and not campus security officers. - asserted. Interestingly, arming subcommittee chairman MacAllister Hull has qever hesitated to use the relatively infrequent incidence of confrontation with armed individuals as rhe justification for arming; nor has Executive vice-president Albert Somit. In fact, at one point during the September 25 Open Hearing on Selective Arming, even Mr. Griffin mentioned that a knife had once been pulled on him. However, many anti-arming students feel that arming Security would only enhance the possibility of confrontation because instead of avoiding the dangerous situation, an officer would feel he has a 50-50 chance of “coming out.” “Futhcrmore,” added one observer, “a gun pointed to a person in a desperate, state is only going to increase that desperation.” ' First time Because the arming subcommittee’s report recommended the use of firearms only in those instances where there was a “lethal threat," Security officers would be inexperienced in situations where guns would be required, increasing the potential for misuse of weapons. “Anytime a gun is used will be the first time a Security officer has used one in a real-life situation,” one student observed. Superfidally, the subcommittee has gone to great lengths to ensure that arming would be Involved and ‘A gun is a gun’ Anti-arming factions traditionally view this argument as totally invalid. ‘The point we want to make,” insisted one student, “is that those tragedies would have been avoided if there were no guns at all. ('I A gun is a gun no matter who owns it.’’ own admission that the Mr. Griffin’s crime rate on campus has dropped 38% in die past two years because of the “high-level performance” of Campus Security has also been used as an argument against arming. Quite possibly, any trust previously placed in Campus Security by students would be eroded if guns were allowed. According to one student, this trust was a decisive factor in the effective jolj done by Security, and if it were diminished, crime might even go up. “We won’t pretend that arming will reduce the crime rate,” Mr. Griffin has stated, “But it will give Security back-up capability.” Dedining crime rate Looking at this statement, it is understandable why Mr. Griffin favors arming, especially since it will “even the odds” in the event of a confrontation. Nevertheless, hard statistics indicate that the crime rate has declined sharply without arms, and there have been relatively few instances of armed individuals on campus within the past few years. uniformed To the Editor: Do students really lack interest in issues that do not directly concern themselves? Was it a general student apathy that accounted for the small size of the group that protested on Thursday afternoon (Oct. 4th) against the selective arming of the campus security guards? As I write this letter, I do not know how many students participated in the demonstration, but they passed by me as I was walking across campus (“No Guns for Cops!! No Guns for Cops!!”) and I noted the size of the group. Last night (Wednesday) a few students walked around the dorms trying to encourage others to attend the scheduled rally. The matter of the proposed arming of campus security interests me, but I admit to confusion concerning its pros and cons. An important point to consider is, of course, why decide to arm (even selectively) campus security now ? Why not before now? Were iUB campus security guards ever armed in the past? What were the consequences of the system(s) that previously existed? Perhaps I am unread and uninformed, but if so, I have lots of company. Last night I asked those students-that came around, the questions I’ve listed above. One of them answered me (the others said nothing) by informing me that the students who were involved in the campus rallys of ’68 and ’69 had recently graduated. I tried to question him further, but the group couldn’t stay to talk to me, because they had to keep walking around, telling people to come to the rally. So whatever the real situation is concerning the arming of campus police, don’t talk about student apathy. A lot of students just don’t know what’s going on, even if they think they do. than Student patrols? To the Editor Friday’s The Spectrum editorial came out with a statement against the arming of campus cops (which is good!), but it also contained pro-cop, “Law and order” warnings about the “consequences” of not arming Ketter’s personal police force (which are almost as bad as the guns themselves!). The article maintains “there is crime on campus,” and “if security is not armed, WHO will handle dangerous situations and armed confrontations?” There is an answer to crime on campus, and it does not involve arming Ketter’s cops or calling on city police. It involves relying on other students. Past experience has shown that campus cops respond very slowly (45 minutes to an hour) to calls about rip-offs in the dorms, and dorm residents know that they have to mobilize others on their floor to actually stop a crime. Those of us who live in other parts of the city know that city cops take their good old time in responding to calls. IF “crime” is becoming more of a problem (and according to The Spectrum, “there have been only two instances of violence on campus in the last two years"), the cops certainly aren’t going to do much about it. We students have always had to protect ourselves in the dorms, and now, if necessary, we can do it in a more organized way. On campus we can systematically share the responsibility for our own security WITHOUT relying on “professional” cops under Ketter’s control. Campus cops surrounded Hayes Hall during last Wednesday’s takeover, and plainclothes cops were crawling all over the fountain area and Haas lounge “protecting” us during our anti-arming rally. Despite Security’s “brotherly interest in our safety” in the face of “campus crime,” it looks like they are mainly interested in protecting Ketter against campus “unrest.” The dorms could have been cleaned out by any rip-off artist during the takeover of Ketter’s office. If the cops get guns they will be used against protesting students, not against “muggers” or “thieves.” The editorial calls anti-arming students “overly paranoid” for pointing out this FACT. It maintains that we are “dead wrong” to think that we will have to protect ourselves from Ketter’s oops as well as crime. The Spectrum editors forget too easily that racist campus cop James Britt last year hospitalized an innocent black dorm student after calling him a “monkey.” LET’S GET OURSELVES ORGANIZED FOR OUR OWN PROTECTION: Flood the campus with light at night; have students patrol the campus and have student government pay them for their time; rig the dorms with alarms on every floor so that the student patrol can call out an entire building in the event of crime. Relying on ouiselves in this manner is a glimpse of how we can collectively solve our own problems under socialism. The only person who needs protection by “professional” gunmen is racist Robert “Law and Order” Ketter. Progressive Labor Party Denise E.

In the October 3 issue of The Spectrum, the siqall article concerning the Grateful Dead concert was in very poor taste. Why was a person who says, “I can't stand the Grateful Dead” assigned to review the concert or more importantly, why did he go to it in the first place? The “critic” obviously cannot distinguish an “uninspired” and “automatic” concert from a truly professional one. Granted, the Dead “don’t play the way they used to;” they have matured and transformed. Their music today is alive and energetic, and all Qve members have emerged as genuine musicians. How can a band “not fit,” as you say it, when they are the leaders and the mold of today’s music. Dead defended To the Editor. In defense of the Dead, 1 begin by taking if anyone is specific issue with Mitchell Dix “creating a Dead machine” it is people like you with your post-hippy era blase. The Dead still have enough energy to play music for some hours to a crowd of fans who may have come in as automatons but left (for the most part) enthused, or surprise revitalized! The Grateful Dead’s music has certainly changed. And they’re making some of their money on memories. But they are still the balladeers of an “area in time and space” which REALLY needs to be kept alive. It’s dying: 1) In the dosing of the colleges and current, seemingly unnoticed pay hassles of their staffs 2) In even the consideration of armed security — As the Grateful Dead have evolved and become recognized as the best American band, evidently you have not evolved at the same rate. In my opinion, a review of a concert should not include personal slashes like calling the members assholes, that to me - seems asinine. Rick Morrison Take that! - on campus. 3) In the inhibition prevelant at Buffalo parties and concerts, “Am I doing it OK?”, in the many constricted people in UB corridors who touch accientally, are horrified and back off like they’re singed or something. 4) In the loss of people like Adrian Alsel and Leon, the legend. You made a point, Mitchell. They are not the same. We’ve changed too. But pack it all away?!! To the Editor: In the Wednesday, Oct. 3 issue of The Spectrum, Joe Fembacher saw fit to label the members of The Greatful Dead as “just assholes.” Irregardless of his opinions on their musical talents, I feel he was completely unjustified in calling them assholes. The only criteria he used for this attack on their personal character was his own dislike for their musical performance. The Dead come out and play to the best of their ability, and then they leave. Never have 1 seen them say or do anything obnoxious that would justify calling them assholes. Joe Fembacher doesn’t deserve to be a music editor. Shit. He’s just an asshole.

The local papers also confused proposal when the story broke. UDC officials had been informed the issue by reporting that FSA in August by FSA that their had originally purchased 534 acres informal bid was acceptable and of land in 1964. FSA officials they should proceed to draw up were at a loss to explain the final papers and conduct a title discrepancy between the total search on the property.

Six acres were later and were informed of all actions concerning the land that had been conveyed to the Iroquois Gas 1968 for the taken. The Board then Company in unanimously ratified the proposed sale. Two areas of confusion have been exploited in the local media as side issues to the Amherst controversy. The first of these concerns the amount of land that was originally purchased by FSA in 1964; the second is the actual price that FSA paid. Both the Courier-Express and Buffalo Evening News checked with Mr. Graham to obtain the purchase price, Mr. Balkin pointed out that the Town Assessor is not the one to check with when trying to establish the purchase price of a plot of land. “The only reason we had the deed at all was because of the complicated legal description of the property stated Mr. Graham.

The new student teacher plan takes three semester to of the complete instead traditional two. Under the new program devised last year by Peter Allan, an instructor in this University’s Teacher Education Department, student teachers spend the first two semesters at various schools, the getting to know administration, teachers and students. In addition, during this time, the student decides at'which school the student would like to teach and with what teacher he would be cooperating. The third semester is spent working with the teacher and student-teaching on a full-time basis. The main difference between this new system and the previous program is that both the students and the teachers get a choice as to whom they will work with, when in the traditional manner, students were simply appointed to positions with no prior knowledge of the school or the people in it. According to Sal Illuzzi, the new program director, the advantage of the three-semester concept is that students are working with someone they have come to know, instead of working with a stranger. teachers were not clear about the purpose of the students. Peter Allan, who is now the assistant superintendent of schodls in the Cheektowaga Central School District, had neglected to write up a mode] of the program which would explicitly explain its methods and goals. Model developed The two new directors of the program, Mr. Illuzzi and A1 Sarnowski, after several weeks of work, have developed such a model, giving the idea a definite structure and outlining its goals. According to the model, in the first semester the student takes an Educational Sociology course through the university. During the first five weeks the student will visit various schools, and during the second five weeks he will work with students of all ages from the elementary grades through high school. At the end of this period the student decides at which school he wants to work. During the second semester, students take the TED course Practicum in Teaching Methods, and works part-time with all of the cooperating teachers in his subject. At the end of this semester, the students and teachers make their choices as to whom they will work with the next and final semester. The third semester is divided Perfect choice into The open classroom concept two seven week periods, the first of which includes a TED employed in the Lewiston-Porter School District made it Central course in psychology and the perfect choice for the center part-time work with the of this program, reported cooperating teacher.

The held back by the class and program is too good to be lost, “slower” students do not feel and the more people interested in they are lagging behind the rest of it, the better are its chances of survival, commented Mr. Illuzzi. the class, said Mr. Illuzzi.

Among Republicans, the Vice President runs ahead by 63-25 per cent, but among independents he is far behind, by 55 to 28 per cent A similar result emerged from a pairing between the Vice President and Sen. Walter Mondale of Minnesota, who has been mentioned as one of the Democratic party’s “new faces” who might make the run in 1976. The cross section of voters was asked: “Suppose for President in 1976 it were between Agnew for the Republicans and Sen. Mondale of Minnesota for the Democrats if you had to choose, would you vote for Agnew, the Republican, or Mondale, the Democrat?” by Louis Harris - Embroiled in Grand Jury proceedings involving leaked charges of alleged kickbacks, Vice President Spiro Agnew has dipped badly in the trial heats for the 1976 Presidential election. He now trails Senators Edward Kennedy, Henry Jackson and Walter Mondale by wide margins. Mr. Agnew himself has strongly implied that his political future has been all but eliminated by the publicity surrounding the investigations into government contracts in Maryland during his tenure as governor. ' — AGNEW VS. MONDALE Harris poll Sept. 1973 May Between September 23 and 25, the Harris Survey asked a nationwide cross-section of 1132 likely voters: “Suppose for President in 1976 it were between Spiro Agnew for the Republicans and Sen. Edward Kennedy for the Democrats if you had to choose, would you vote for Agnew, the Republican, or Kennedy, the Democrat?” AGNEW VS.

But now he has slipped behind Mondale by 24 points. Mondale makes a particularly strong run among the college educated, independent voters and voters of the Jewish faith The widest margin in these trial heats was scored by Sen. Henry Jackson of Washington, who led the Vice President by 30 points. The cross-section was asked; “Suppose for President in 1976 it were between Agnew for the Republicans and Sen. Henry Jackson of Washington for the Democrats if you had to choose, would you vote for Agnew, the Republican, or Jackson, the Democrat?” - Agnew Agnew — 7% 6% Although he has consistently trailed Sen. Kennedy in 1976race for the White House, in this latest result, Vice President Agnew has plummeted II points while Sen' Kennedy jumped 7 points, producing 26-point spread'. "Mr. Agnew even loses in, the South, ., AGNEW VS. JACKSON a hypothetical 55% 20% Jackson Not sure Jackson does relatively better than the other Democrats in the pairings in the South (where he leads by 53-27 per cent), among voters 50 years of age and over, among union members, and among persons who voted for Richard Nixon in 1972 (even here he leads by 41-40 per cent). Jackson has staked out a harder line than other Democratic contenders on relations with Russia and on crime and law and order. The only group where Vice President Agnew finishes on top against all three potential Democratic nominees are rank-and-file Republicans. This fact, however, can have some real significance in determining Spiro Agnew’s future in the days of controversy that appear to lie ahead. For it is likely that the Vice President will use his base of support among GOP regulars to try to set a backfire. He has stated categorically that he will not resign, even in the event of an indictment in the Baltimore investigation. Nonetheless, these Harris Survey results can only be labeled as disastrous to the Vice President’s hopes for coming back as a serious contender for his party’s nomination for President in 1976. At the moment, at least, it is obvious that Mr. Agnew has been written off as a viable candidate by the voters themselves. His loss of support among such key groups as those who voted for him and President Nixon in 1972 in the South, in the small towns, among older voters has occurred precisely within the base of Agnew strength in the past. Of course, should Vice President Agnew either not be indicted by the Grand Jury now looking into the alleged kickbacks or if he should be indicted and later acquitted either by a jury of his peers or in an impeachment proceeding by the House of Representatives, he might conceivably make a political comeback. But now the odds are heavily loaded against Mr. Agnew making it back as a serious contender for the GOP nomination in 1976. - — Total Voters 1973by The Chicago Tribune World Rights Reserved 25% Agnew f j I ! for you and yours from mail and targa pressed magazines, poetry, Imported card* and lovely gift (tarns. everyaians book ; «02Jlhfa _St. ■\\ .

The match was never in doubt as the Bulls played very well. One of the more interesting matches was played Buffalo concludes its fall tennis schedule on Tuesday, October 16 against Fredonia, in a home match. The team is guaranteed a .500 season. Six on a court The students led after the first quarter by a score of 20-16 in a surprisingly tight game. In the second quarter the students ran off ten straight points and led at halftime 47-38. Action in the second quarter was stopped at one point when the officials, Bob Dickinson and Greg Witherspoon noticed that the faculty had six players on the court. Dr. Rowland argued: “We could use an extra player.” At the start of the “fourth quarter, each team was using three women. Ann Trapper led the women with seven points for the students, while Sue Patterson sent the crowd roaring with a driving layup. r Jim Ryan, a faculty player, declared after the students had scored a decisive victory: “I won’t say anything about the officiating.” However he did say: “Speaking for the team, we want a rematch.” It is doubtful that both teams will meet again until next year’s game. Bill Monkarsh summed up the meaning of the game stating: “It was an enjoyable game for the players and the fans, for a good cause.” Golf Bulls Miss tourney spot —PltUr Soccer B tillsfigh t Niagara to draw in Saturdays ac tion Buffalo’s soccer Bulls threw a barrage of shots at yet. They’re looking for the open man more now. Niagara goalie Mike Miller last Saturday, but failed “Overall, this is the best game they played,” to dent the nets on a shot from the field.

The golf Bulls failed to qualify for the ECAC Championships when they tied for 4th place with a score of 305 at the ECAC Qualifying Tournament in Syracuse last Friday and Saturday. Canisius topped the field with a score of 301, while Syracuse and Oswego tied for second with scores of 303. Usually the top two teams qualify for the championship round. However, since Syracuse, the home team qualified, the teams in the first three spots were selected for the championships. A third team is selected when the home team qualified. Canisius, Syracuse and Oswego will be going to the ECAC Championships at Sutton, Massachusetts this Friday and Saturday. The Bulls’ chances for a tournament spot were eliminated when Oswego, which completed their round after Buffalo, came in with a round of 303 for a second-place tie. The Bulls would have qualified on the basis of their third place standing in the tournament at that time. Buffalo has the only team to have all five players shoot in the 70’s. However, only the top four scores were counted in the team totals, Canisius won the tournament with scores of 73, 74 and 74, turned in by John Lindner, Don Doctor and Dave Rapp. Rick Buszynski and Mart Fink paced the Bulls with 7S’s. Jim Gallery, the Bulls’ top player tor the season, shot a 77, which hurt the Bulls’ chances for qualifying. In addition, no Bulls qualified (74 or better) for the individual championships (also : next week). Poor putting Bulls coach Bill Dando stated; “I’m obviously disappointed that we didn’t qualify.’’ Dando added: “Putting is what did us in. It was a short course (6100 yards) and the putting is what made the difference.” Dando commented on Syracuse’s announcement of its decision to drop golf, tennis, fencing and rifle for next season. The Bulls’ coach said: *T don’t think the $6000 saving (for the four teams dropped) is worth depriving SO or 60 kids from playing. That’s not even the price of one basketball scholarship.” The Bulls finish the season by hosting St. Bonaventure tomorrow. �V CLASSIFIED ADS MAY be placed In The Spectrum office weekdays 9 a.m. to 5 p.m..

Buffalo was held to a I-I, 13-inning deadlock at Niagara last Thursday that was halted by darkness at the Purple Eagles’ campus. The Bulls swept Niagara (13-4, 3-0) and St. Bonaventure (2-1, 8-3) last Saturday and Sunday at Peelle Field. The Bulls erupted for 14 hits in Saturday’s opening victory over Niagara and 13 more in Sunday’s nightcap against St. Bonaventure, but on the three other occasions had to depend on strong pitching and tight defense to remain undefeated. Designated hitter Jim Mary led the Bulls’ attack last weekend, slamming a home run and five RBIs to maintain a .560 batting average. John Kidd homered in Sunday’s nightcap and drove in four runs last weekend. Pitching remains brilliant Buffalo’s pitching staff continued to shine, limiting Niagara to a total of one hit in Saturday’s doubleheader. Jim Niewczyk, Wayne Fry and Bill Casbolt combined to no-hit the Eagles in Saturday’s opener. Niagara tallied four unearned runs as a result of eight walks and three errors. Niewczyk, one of five Bulls with an ERA of 0.00, hurled four hitless innings to improve his amazing ratio of hits to innings pitched. Niewczyk has allowed just two hits in 18 innings, an incredible one hit for every nine innings. The Bulls broke open the of Sunday second -g=ame doubleheader with four runs in the first inning after tallying just twice despite collecting seven hits and five walks in six innings in the opener. “I talked to them between games,” admitted Bulls’ coach Bill Monkarsh. “It’s a long season and you have to have to stay in every game mentally. You can’t make mental mistakes.” . Buffalo concludes its fall baseball season this weekend. The Bulls travel to Geneseo Saturday and then to Ithaca Sunday for a pair of doubleheaders.

FSA is negotiating for sale of Amherst land Friday, 5 October 1973 �‘Dollar Bill* Bradley shoots from the hip at Clark Hall by Bruce Engel Contributing Editor Relaxed but visibly tired, he strolled into Clark Hall Wednesday night and took a seat near the podium. His imposing 6’5” frame, clad in a light blue turtleneck and tan blazer, rested comfortably on the seat with his long legs stretched far out in front of him. He smiled only for a student with a camera who took his picture. Finally Speakers Bureau chairman Bob Bunich introduced him: “Number 24 for the World Champion New York Knicks—Bill Bradley.” The crowd was not really large but quite enthusiastic. “It is now easy for me to see, after seeing this wonderful facility, why there are so many pros from this school. If they raised the basket to 14 feet, you’re really going to have some great shooters here,” Bradley sarcastically commented. On the more serious side, “Dollar Bill’s” brief IS-minute speech dealt with the future of the Olympics. “The Olympics should not continue without drastic modifications,” said Bradley. He then outlined five changes he’d like to see. Olympic changes First was open competition (amateur status would not be a prerequisite.) ‘There is no such thing as a true amateur," said Bradley. “The rule is very difficult to apply. He cited several international discrepencies in the interpretation of the amateur rule. Second, team sports should not be included. Instead he suggested team championships be held in off-years. “It becomes quite easy to believe that you are playing for national glory rather than personal enjoyment,” he said, a radical thought when compared to present movements designed to enhance the quality of American teams. “The United States Olympic Committee should clean its house.” Specifically he called for better coaching and a full accounting of expenditures. “Getting them to explain their expenditures is like trying to get a tape recorder into a congressional committee meeting-impossible,” Dollar Bill observed dryly. Biggest thrills Bradley also called for more emphasis on people. This could be accomplished by lengthening the time of the games so there is more personal contact, spontaneity and creativity. Bradley would like also to see cultural pursuits, poetry readings, art shows, and soon, held in conjunction with the games. “This is the only thing that could make some small contribution to world peace,” he said. Greece should be the permanent home for the games, Bradley suggested. He called upon the audience to be aware of these things and to get in touch with* their local Olympic and suggest representatives changes. Bradley then opened it up for questions, first stating that John Havilcek is the best forward he’s played against; the most exciting game he’s ever been in was the fifth playoff game against the Lakers in 1970; and that Walt Frazier was the best guard in the game. Obviously these were his stock answers for the most common questions he gets. The 4S-minute quest ion-and-answer period ranged from the frivilous to the deadly serious; Has Dave DeBusschere really turned you into a beer drinker? —continued on page 21 Bradley off the cuff The Buffalo Braves are the most unproved team in the NBA. That assessment was given not by any rabid local fan, but by the starting forward of the World Champion New York Knicks. The Braves definitely got the better end of the trade which sent Elmore Smith to the L.A. Lakers for Jim McMillan, said Bill Bradley, and he thinks that Bob Kaufman will be able to do the job at center and that “Randy Smith is a great sixth man.” Lacking only a 6’4” shooting guard to complement Ernie DiGregorio, he feels “Buffalo is just one player away” from being a great team. Regarding Wilt Chamberlain’s jump from the Lakers to the ABA, Dollar Bill said “he’ll always do what’s right for him,” adding that Wilt had an ego which “could never be satisfied.” His most exciting single game was the fifth game of the 1970 Knick-Laker championship series, in which Willis Reed was injured but the Knicks still managed, miraculously, to win. But overall, the Knicks’ 1973 chamionship was the most exhiliariating: “It’s more gratifying the second time.” He’s still waiting to receive his second chamionship ring, and disclosed that each Knick made more chamionship money in ’73 than in ’70 despite not finishing first, because the league was richer. He added that playoff payoffs in other sports were comparatively higher. He considered the Boston Celtics a tougher playoff opponent last year than the Lakers, adding the Knicks were flat in the sixth Celtic game and “should’ve won in five.” He thinks he lost “maybe a step-and-a-half” by going to Oxford for two years, mentioning that education there is broader and more integrated than the fragmented courses here like “American History 322-1860-1900.” A ballplayer peaks at 27 or 28, he said, and after 31 must make up for lost speed with experience. And after his basketball career is over, Bill Bradley will go into either business or politics, possibly in his home state of Missouri. He has to decide whether to return there or remain in the East, to which he has become attached (he lives in Manhattan during the season). And yes, John Havlicek is the toughest forward he has ever played against, Bill Bradley said, sounding like he had answered that question a thousand times. Pass where iOn /. A The Spectrum Friday, 5 October 1973 IBOiiBSaii >Jrt¥T ri J.- — Bradley last minute fill-infor Frazier “A lot of girls are going to be nude at me because Frazier isn’t here,” said Speakers Bureau Chairman Bob Burrick. Mr. Burrick’s disappointment at Walt Frazier’s last-minute cancellation was matched only by his gratitude to New York Knick teammate Bill Bradley for filling in with only 24 hours’ notice. Frazier was originally contracted last April for an October 2 engagement in the Fillmore Room. However, a Knick exhibition game forced the date back to Wednesday, October 3. Frazier’s business manager agreed to the switch. The Speakers Bureau works through ait organization called Program Corporation of America (PCA). PCA tried to set up the final arrangements, “Frazier’s people avoided them,” according to Mr. Burrick. This frustrating situation persisted until Tuesday afternoon at 3 p.m., when Frazier announced he was not going to come. The standard PCA contract, while committing Speakers Bureau, always gives the speaker this cancellation option. At Mr. Burrick’s request, PCA tried to get Willis Reed to fill in, but Reed’s manager did not call them back.

He credited The Spectrum's Editor-in-Chief Howie Kurtz’s prodding as a major part of his incentive to keep trying to substitutes, get someone for the program. he remembered Helen Streeter at the W. Colston Agency in New York. Mr. Burrick has done business with Ms. Streeter, Then and the agency has done business with Bill Bradley. “I called her and told her we were in a jam,” Mr. Burrick explained. “I suggested Bradley, but she thought it was doubtful. I left the office at 5:05, and by the time I got back to my room in Amherst, there was a message from Helen Streeter. Bill Bradley was coming. 1 guess it takes a Rhodes scholar and Princeton graduate to understand the problems of college students,” Mr. Burrick added. Bradley deservedly received more than he would usually get for a speaking engagement.

While most of us have returned home and are trying to forget about courses, for the 5000 people who attend Millard Fillmore College, the University’s night school, classes arc just beginning. Although Millard Fillmore College is a thriving branch of this University, part-time night students must grapple with problems stemming from the University’s orientation towards full-time day students. This is and has been a main concern of the Millard Fillmore College Student Association (MFSCA) and its president, 57-year-old Jack The internal evaluations of the Committee on the Colleges, then Colleges continue to cause friction headed by Prof. John Halstead.

This year, for the first time, Admissions and Records is keeping night hours. Part-time incentives Perhaps Jack Bunting and MFCSA’s most notable accomplishment is still in the working. Throughout his years with the MFCSA, Mr. Bunting has sought the initiation of a scholar incentive program for part-time students. Part-time students, who are charged by the credit hour, pay proportionally more for their education than full-time ones. It is possible that an MFC student could take as many as 11 credits and not be eligible for state incentive monies. A proposal for part-time scholar incentives has been brought before the State Legislature four times since 1966. Each time it has been chiefly sponsored by State Sen. Jeremiah Bloom (D., Brooklyn), recently aided by Herb Posner (D., Queens). Interestingly, Mr. Posner finished law school as a night student. near future. If we pass this, we will have done more for part-time students than has been done in U.S. history,” said Mr. Bunting. The official long-range plan of SUNY is to move to an all-encompassing, one-university system, Mr. Bunting explained. When that happens, MFC will no longer exist and part-time students will have the same status as everyone else. (Fully one-third of all SUNY students are part-time). Until that time, Mr. Bunting is “concerned with the rights of students in the changeover.” MFCSA’s main gripe, he said, is still this University’s “9-to-5 syndrome.” Mr. Bunting lives in Tonawanda and is a factory employee of Dunlap Tire. He also sits on the Faculty Student Association and must take time off from work to attend. Jack Bunting’t six years as president of MFCS A will end this May when he graduates from MFC. He has a joint major in sociology and English. His work for part-time students will not end, however. He expects to remain active on behalf of the proposal for scholar incentive. As he put it: “That’s one thing that I want to see done.” : _ CLEAN UP N.Y.

This purchasing plan guarantees students the lowest possible prices on a wide assortment of consumer items by offering a massive potential market to retailers. Purchase Power works quite simply. An interested student must first contact a Purchase Power representative, give him the SASU Purchase Power Identification Number (which may be obtained from the Student Association office), and then describe the item he wishes to buy. A buyer’s certificate listing local Purchase Power dealers and valid for 30 days will be mailed to the student who then contacts the dealer for an appointment. The purchase is transacted in private to protect the retail business of the dealer. If the identical item can be found elsewhere at a lower retail price within 30 days of receiving the certificate, Purchase Power will refund the difference between the costs plus 20%. Purchase Power has a full-time professional consumer protection staff to intercede on the student’s behalf if problems arise. “The agreement between Purchase Power and SASU was signed last spring... and was operative over the summer with success” said J.F. Mossgraber, SASU director of Statewide Services. SASU also offers other services lo students including a Decreasing Tuition Term Insurance Policy which pays for a portion of school costs upon the demise of the student’s parents. In approximately a year, a Health and Accident Insurance Program, which has special coverage for abortion and maternity costs for unwed recipients, will be available. SASU is also trying to organize chartered intra-state travel facilities for students. For further information on Purchase Power or any other SASU program, contact SASU Campus Coordinator Paul Kade at 5507. / —Dlx Presidentialbattle Pie fight ends with melee Helen Urban didn’t approve, but the great between President Robert Ketter and Student Association President Jon Dandes went on anyway. Ms. Urban had written a letter that appeared in Monday’s Buffalo Evening News decrying the United Fund' Campaign’s publicity stunt as wasteful and frivolous. Her suggestion that the food should go to the hungry caused more than one campus wag to retort: “Let them eat pie.” So the shew went on Tuesday afternoon in the Norton fountain area. All that was missing was Howard Cosell. In the tradition of Ali-Frazier, Spasky-Fischer and Riggs-King, the two great heavyweight pic-throwers squared off to promote the United Way with a well-publicized duel. The setting was magnificent. A sizable ring was roped off with a judges table and a cabinet loaded with whipped cream pies. pie-fight * vice-president Albert Somit and Student Affairs vice-president Richard Sigglekow, said to have come fresh from the Tiffin Room, were the judges. The crowd was growing and some spectators expressed hope that the match would get out of hand and turn into a grand, Three Stooges-style free-for-all. They were not disappointed. While the crowd waited for the combatants, Henry Lawrence of WKBW-TV established beyond doubt a reputation for zaniness as he taped the end of his news report. In a staged bit of Theater before the match, he ducked one pie thrown at him by an assistant, only to get another right in the face, according to plan. Optimist that he was, he went into Norton Hall to wash up before watching the match. Soon Mr. Dandes’ second, SA Treasurer Ken Unker, led Mr. Dandes into the ring to a mixed assortment of greetings. All that was lacking was Dr. Ketter.

Flanked by his second. University Prosecutor Howard Meyer, and Dr. Somit, he weighed in for the battle in his black ceremonial robes. Mr. Meyer and Mr. Unker traded, allegations as part of the opening ceremonies. If there had been Academy Awards given, Mr. Unker would have won Best Actor and Mr. Meyer would have won Best Costume Design. Let the record show that- Dr. Ketter cheated. Given the advantage of a grossly oversized pie, he fired well before he was supposed to. Then all hell broke lose. It was a wild melee as students stormed the pie cabinet, throwing pies at everyone and anyone. Dr. Ketter and Mr. Dandes clearly got the worst of the pie barrage. One student, who claimed to have hit Dr. Ketter twice in the face, speculated that his transcript would disappear by morning. Within five minutes, after the match started, the whole area was covered with whipped cream. It was a Keystone Kops scene with people sliding and falling everywhere, tumbling into the fountain and tossing pies at by-passers. When the chaos ceased, high pressure hoses were brought in to clear away the wreckage and all went on as before.

The meeting dealt with the anticipated impact of the rail line on the surrounding community. Area citizens expressed concern over the possibilities of increased noise pollution, soil erosion and increased crime rates. Thomas Lazzaro, Republican candidate for Amherst town supervisor, quoted his letter;to Congressman Jack Kemp at the forum. The letter urged that the rail line remain underground from Buffalo to Amherst. At present, the rail line will be undergrown throughout Buffalo, but will go above ground when it reaches Amherst. Student lobby formed to fight new drug law An effective lobbying force to oppose the recently-enacted drug 'aws is the goal of student leaders at Ithaca College, who are trying to rally various colleges and universities in New York State to the cause. Student opposition is centered around the provisions that deal with the sale and/or possession of marijuana. Under the new law, anyone caught with one ounce or more of marijuana can be sentenced to a maximum of IS years. The uroup, calling themselves the Student Lobby, sent out a newsletter to the student schools at governments tlyoughout the state, announcing a conference for the second weekend in October at Ithaca College to determine future strategy. Each school that the movement is supports expected to send one or two representatives to the meeting. These representatives, in turn, will serve as student organizers on their own campuses. Lobbying activity will center around a “massive letter-writing campaign” aimed at local representatives in Albany. The plant call for students to voice their support for reform of, the marijuana laws and put pressure on their representatives to enact such reform. The National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws (NORML) is also planning intensive lobbying when the Albany legislature reconvenes in January. The movement will culminate in a mass rally in New York City’s Central Park, tentatively scheduled for November 9. Organizers hope to have several well-known speakers on hand for the rally. The purpose of the planned demonstration is to to the public convey the support among widespread "Indents for reform of the state Environmental concerns Representing what he called “residents adjacent to the proposed system,” Mr. Lazzaro expressed their concern for the environment, the possibility of reduced property values, and the isolation of the Eggertsville area from the rest of the Town of Amherst. Mr. Lazzaro said these effects could be avoided by a “mole” procedure; that is putting the entire system underground. Some businesses would be forced to relocate because of the overhead line, but could apparently remain where they are now with an underground route. Additionally, it was suggested that the proposed drainage system be built simultaneously with the transit system to avoid dual destruction of the land. The rail line is being financed through the Niagara Frontier Transit Authority (NFTA). The NFTA is receiving part of the money necessary to finance the line from government funds. Bechtel Associates, a San Francisco consulting firm has been awarded a contract to study alternative methods of producing the transit line. Connects SUNY campuses The rail line is planned downtown area to the Main Street campus of the State University at Buffalo. The area in question is a series of rail lines from the Main Street campus to the new Amherst Campus, running down Bailey Niagara Falls Blvd. and Millers port Highway. (See map.) Amherst residents pointed to the dilapidated condition of the Buffalo Skyway to illustrate their contention that an above-ground system would quickly deteriorate. Their sentiment was summed up by one citizen: “If they’re going to sink so much money into the transit system, it should be built Avenue, drug laws Organizers have appealed for both moral and financial support the from individual student governments. Moral support may be quick in coming, but financial aid from any of the schools in the State University system will be law severely limited. State prohibits the use of mandatory student fees for any political purposes, and therefore makes any contribution from student governments an impossibility. Any funds raised here will have to come from either benefits or private donations.

Until his death in 1926, Harry Houdini was considered the world’s foremost magician and escape artist. His most famous achievements included illusions of walking through walls, making elephants disappear and escapes from handcuffs, milk cans, water-torture cells, coffins and jails. Aside from the collection of books which Houdini donated to the Library of Congress, the Houdini. Magical Hall of Fame has the most extensive collection of Houdini’s mementoes, illusions, films, and apparatus. The museum, which opend in a larger building in 1968, has since moved down the street. Tours that once were given by live guides are now conducted by a mechanical voice emanating from a transistor-radio-like speakers. magic Quality leveled Some museum visitors who have been to both locations have found this new arrangement distressing. However, Jim Middleton, the museum manager -contended; “This system levels quality. With the guided tours, you either had a superb tour or a rotten tour; now you have a good tour. It is level and consistent Another change accompaning the new location was a reduction in the number of illusion secrets revealed to the public. Magicians who still include similar tricks in their act had objected to the exposure. Once the secret is known, audiences lose interest, the magicians argued. Despite these innovations which some consider unfortunate, the museum contains a significant collection for Houdini enthusiasts. The tour begins with a display of the illusions Houdini acquired from other majicians and later incorporated into his own act. Next, some dvices of Houdini’s own design are exhibited, including famous milk cans, straight jackets, and brick wall. ” Tony Curtis fans The trunk Houdini used when he escaped- from river-bottoms is there too.

The State University of Buffalo has developed a clinical seminar program to provide the law student with an intensified learning experience in the courtroom instead of limiting study to. the classroom and textbook. Most young lawyers never set foot in a courtroom, much less a police station. Social Security office or welfare center during their three years in law school, Assistant Law Prof. Norman Rosenberg maintained. Additionally, many take the oath without ever seeing a subpoena. In the clinical seminar program, students receive academic credit for working in neighborhood or school legal aid programs, public prosecutor’s or defender’s office, or for participating in selected cases under the supervision of a faculty member. Six out of nine hours a week, students engage in their assigned field work. The cases primarily include family court litigation, discrimination of the sexes and school-related matters. The remaining three hours fill the seminar requirement by integrating the practical courtroom experience with the academic training of the classroom. Law students in community rubber band inside the sealed carton to write a coded message that only Dunninger knows.

Many clinical instructors have suggested that the program’s most important value is teaching law students to recognize the “ethical dimensions of their practice” and to be aware of their professional responsibilities, Aflytiipe a, StudSOt is faced with an ethical problefn, he can immediately discuss it with his instructor.

Students practice drafting documents, examining witnesses, negotiating settlements, interviewing clients and even lobbying for new legislation.” A second-year Harvard law student recently recovered $3500 in back due payments for a welfare recipient who never knew she was eligible for disability benefits. classes, participants Passing fad? Many critics regard the program as a passing fad, while others feel it is an essential tool in learning the law. Edmund Kitch, a young University of Chicago law professor said; “The clinical program can confront the student with the service obligations of the legal profession. But if this is an objective of the program, service to poor clients may not be the best way to develop it.” He noted that poor clients are often inarticulate, and to an unusual degree the burden often falls heavily to the lawyer to define what it is in fact the client needs.” Additionally, Prof. Kitch said: “There is pressure in a poverty office to sacrifice the standard of service to individuals in the interest of serving the largest number.” He asked: “Do students need more than common sense and common decency to deal with the problems of the lawyer role? If they lack these qualities, can exposure to real problems inculcate them?” Despite these reservations, more students are being enrolled in clinical programs every year. Their phenomenal rate of growth in the last five years has been largely attributed to the Council on Legal Education for Professional Responsibility (CLEPR), an institution funded by the Ford Foundation, which has paid for clinical programs at 90 law schools. The grant was given with the understanding that it would not be-renewed with the expectation that the schools themselves would subsequently provide the money to continue clinical education. 01 N 1 ? students to handle then own cases m Tower courts and administrative agencies, and before long each law student, before being accepted into the Bar, will acquaint himself with the life of a practicing lawyer. , J , T vV " Weekend yoga retreat The AUM Center for Self-Realization is holding a “Yoga Weekend Retreat” with Munishri Chitrabhanu.

Spectrum Staff Writer Chronic, mental patients have long suffered a lack of contact with “normal” living. As early as “shared apartment.” In either case, Ms. Kritzer explained the clients are once again independent members of their community, with the freedoms and responsibilities that accompany “normal” life. 1961, a joint fee realized that ex ;s hi mental too large and isolated from surrounding communities. In 1963, President John F. Kennedy called for legislation ta decentralize large institutions and provide community mental health services in their place. In 1969, New York State began complying with this recommendation and Erie County was subsequently divided into areas called “Catchman areas.” Each Catchman area is serviced by a mental health unit that combines previously separate county and state facilities. grown Members of the Placement Team of Catchman Unit 6 at Buffalo State Hospital, seeing the problems chronic patients had, originated the “Launchpad” project. Chronic patients, many of whom have been hospitalized for 10 to 25 years, are moved into a community residence at 46 Oxford St. Lost living skills E. Kritzer, Placement team leader of Unit 6, explains: "After spending ten years or more in an institutional setting, these people have lost the skills of daily living.” The original illness has become almost irrelevant. To achieve Launchpad’s goal, which is to enable patients to live independently in the community, “training in skills like personal hygiene, grooming habits, budgeting, meal planning and shopping is required.” A study conducted by the Unit 6 Placement Team reported that "it is impossible to simulate actual community living experience in an institutional setting.” Consequently Launchpad opened its house on Oxford St. in November, 1972, providing rooms for eight clients at a time (four men and four women). Intermediate steps Launchpad provides the intermediate step between the institution and a more permanent placement withih the community. After' a 4tay at' Launchpad, which averages between two and three months, the client is placed either in a “family care home” or in a shared apartment. The family care home is a private residence which has offered to take a client into its home as “a member of die family.” The home must pass fire and health inspections, and the family may choose the client it brings into its home. The family is reimbursed for $195 a month for each client and free counseling services are available whenever needed. Ms. Kritzer explained that for those clients who are “better able to cope with less supervision,” several clients may choose to live together in a The Launchpad house has a staff of full-time employees, all of whom were previously in-care employees at the State Hospital. Charles Bataglia, coordinator of the Launchpad program, and his co-workers at the house act as supervisors for the clients, whose ages have ranged between 24 and 70 years. While the employees are paid by the State Hospital payroll, the clients receive a monthly welfare allotment which pays for their rent, food, clothing and spending money. Mr, Bataglia commented; “It’s frightening for the clients to start all over again. They are reluctant to leave the hospital setting and it always takes at least one to two weeks to adjust to their new surroundings.” Augustine Diji, Unit 6 Chief at Buffalo State Hospital, elaborated: “We have to take one step at a time with them. After they have adjusted to the community setting, the clients find it upsetting to even think of returning to the hospital.” Success story 75-80% of those who have lived at Launchpad, and have been placed in the community have adjusted well to independent living, reported Dr. Diji. However, he also emphasized: “Launchpad is not only for clients who were previously in-patients at the State Hospital. It is also being used as an alternative to hospitalization for new patients. It is basically an out-patient facility.” At this time, Launchpad is considering moving to a new location. “The primary reason is that our present location is outside the Catchman area which we are serving,” explained Dr. Diji. Other reasons include a need for expansion and for gaining a larger administrative staff to allow the present employees more time to concentrate on therapy. More families are needed to offer their homes for family care service. Mr. Bataglia readily admits that: “Even with the reimbursement and counseling services, taking in a client Is h sacrifice." The' Launchpad house itself desperately needs volunteers to help with-the clients. A -Placement Team report states: “The community at large has to take more responsibility in the treatment of the mentally disabled, accepting them as individuals in the process of social integration and not as patients who have to be segregated within the walls of the State Hospital.” Anyone who wants to volunteer some time, contact Rita Rothstein of CAC at 836-0074, or Charles Bataglia, 46 Oxford Street? 884-7040. Anyone interested in offering his home for family care, contact Ms. Kritzer at Buffalo State Hospital. Friday, 5 October 1973. The Spectrum.

The rightists view arming Security as a panacea against crime, and the leftists see arming as an instrument of political repression engineered by Or. Ketter. Both are dead wrong. ~ I’Ve oppose the arming of Campus Security, selective or otherwise. The Student Assembly's repeated opposition; the despicable, fact that students on the Committee which recommended arming rarely attended; the fact that the Committee itself was split; and last year's referendum vote of 4-to-l against arming clearly indicate that students don't want guns on campus. We agree. The potential danger of introducing guns far outweighs any possible benefits. 5$ GONE ALONG WITH TNI TERRORISTS THAT LEAVE U|T* Selectively arming two officers per shift to patrol three campuses would be less than effective; Security admits arming would not be any deterrent against crime. Instead, assistant director Lee Griffin says armed up to now, unarmed officers must try to avoid direct confrontations with armed opponents, whereas introducing a second gun would exacerbate any confrontation and situation they have a 50/50 chance of coming out.'' However, as they have up to now, unarmed officers must try to avoid direct confrontation and probably lead to gunfire. If an officer is unarmed, there's no reason for an opponent to fire; if an officer draws a gun, the opponent knows he's going to use it. This will lead to gunfire and possible injury to student (1 1 - Additionally, many of the Hull committee's recommendations are now outdated. In the last two years. Campus Security has reduced campus crime by 38%, raised morale, instituted a requirement of two years of college for officers, and won the respect of many students all without guns. In any given year since 1970, no more than eight incidents of armed persons on campus have been recorded, so armed confrontation is infrequent so infrequent that it cannot justify the exacerbating and Big Brother influence that armed plainclothesmen on campus would bring. Even- in dangerous situations, would giving Security guns place their lives in less jeopardy? Probably not. — Mil I C •H 1 i yi ■J A f I — We oppose any form of arming. The dangers of guns on campus far outweigh the possible benefits. But if we accept an unarmed Security force, we must be aware of the consequences. Those consequences would be either seeing the Buffalo Police on this campus or virtually no protection for students against viplent crimes. Although the Hull committee researched this problem and decided the only workable compromise was selectively arming two highly-trained officers" par shift (with more 'Stringent training requirements than the city or state police), we urge more research into non-lethal tactics which Security could apply in dangerous situations. If we don't want guns, we may have to accept dogs patrolling the dorms, tear gas, or other distasteful alternatives. But these hard choices must be mfde if we want any kind of protection on this campus. A liberal who is assaulted very quickly becomes a conservative. Those opposed to arming have now voiced their concern, but future takeovers of Or. Ketter's office will not solve the problem. Hard decisions are in order. It is not enough to simply oppose arming. We most weigh the alternatives and find a solution if We want both no guns and a safe campus. Page eight. The Spectrum Friday 5 October 1973 . BjjFaMfjfijS America, whose streets were reputedly paved with gold, has begun to realize that the inexhaustible hom of plenty is beginning to have a hollow ring when feeding time draws near. It came as a shock to the American people that there were shortages in materials that have always been taken for granted. It seems that we have staggered from one shortage to oil, beef, metals grains, to another - — Alternative tactics may be of some value. Security's dogs were originally disigned for danger, but they are unsuitable in crowded situations (and so are guns); and neither students nor Security wants the dogs patrolling the dorms and the Union. Other non-lethal weapons, such as tear gas, could be useful, but again ini limited number of situations. Calling in the Buffalo Police is a highly undesirable alternative, because of the time delay and because the city cops have little sense of student problems and situations, as Campus Security does. Finaaly, there is the option of Security agents simply refusing to respond to dangerous calls. They have frequently disarmed persons with knives, but would be totally justified in avoiding confronting opponents with guns. Non-intervention might minimize physical danger while accepting property loss in burglaries, but would leave the victims of violent crimes like assaults and rapes completely defenseless. Overly-paranoid anti-arming students have not dealt with this problem. by Bury Kaplan , bystanders. Despite all this, there are hard facts which can't be ignored. There is crime on campus. The University is no ivory tower, it's a Buffalo community, and what other coimmunity has an unarmed police force? It is unreasonable to expect unarmed officers to go into dangerous situations. "If we're to have total law enforcement responsibility, we must be equipped for that task," said Mr. Griffin. "If not, our sole must be re-defined." His re-definition for an unarmed Security force would be to remove dangerous situations from their area of responsibility. And this is the crucial question one which anti-arming radicals have totally failed to consider: If Security is not armed, who will handle dangerous situations and armed confrontations? . 0 v T .

A comparison. Even now, • America has always believed that its resources were inexhaustible and no matter how much we consumed, there would always be another forest, another lake, another mineral deposit or a new technique which could convert previously-unusable material into a saleable item. As a frontier nation, we were extravagant with our resources, and as a result, we have carried these wasteful practices into the 20th century. While our forefathers might have been able to push further west after they had mutilated the land, our frontiers closed long time ago and there is nowhere else to go. After exploiting our natural resources, this country looked to the underdeveloped countries of the world and through various means, legal or otherwise, managed to gain great economic, and at times political, control of these countries, This aspect of American economic exploitation has been the most obvious in the Latin American countries, and many of the liberation or nationalist movements have centered upon United States economic exploitation of their country. The rising consciousness of the Third World to U.S. economic in regard exploitation, along with rising standards of living in previously-underdeveloped countries, has resulted in a scramble for the raw materials of the world.

This is excerpts from a letter dated September 23 from Dr. Marvin Resnikoff, formerly a member of this University’s Physics Department, presently in Santiago, Chile on a Fullbright Scholarship. Dear Joel & Johanna; We’re OK though it’s still very dangerous here in Santiago. The military still has banned all information except that which they hand out. We get hardly any information from the states. Our only source is Argentine radio. The number of dead is over 20,000 though the official count is 244, but the military has a definition for official dead which generally avoids counting the real number. All Leftist newspapers, magazines and parties are banned. The military classifies these as foreign extremist ideologies, even though the Communist Party has been here for 50 years and the Socialist Party for 40 years. All Leftist books they make searches, and take your are banned books and bum them in the streets; they then take you out for questioning and several Americans have been tortured. All my books have been shipped to the States, and my records will be coming to the States the next few days. All are now collectors items, but especially those by Victor Jara, who was killed in the street action two weeks ago. Those children’s books are all banned, and the book “El Tancazo” is especially pointed out. The group Quilapayun - was out of the country so they will continue recording... My apartment’s been searched; I’ve been taken at gun-point to headquarters, but if it stays at this level, 1 can make it til next January. But there is a strong foreign extremists’ campaign which laps over to Americans too, and if it gets worse, we’ll leave the country. Repression here is like nothing I’ve seen in my life The tortures, arbitrary killings are one thing, but the handling of workers just an example, a factory was taken over by workers ... - some time ago, but after the coup, it was returned to the original owner. The first day the owner called in the police and pointed out two troublemakers. They were shot right there. That sort of brutality is so difficult to be rational about; it is so depressing. And the military itself, using these weapons from the U.S., paid for by the workers of this country, and then used against them... 44% of the people chose Socialism and that choice was denied them arbitrarily. So the ballot box has definitely been shot down. The only type of transition must be violent in that a minority of wealthy people in this country will never give up their power willingly. So the experiment failed and there is going to be a long period of armed struggle in this country and a lot of lives are going to be lost. It’s really sad. Well; I’ll try to stay out of trouble and will be back next January. Love, Daddy Kent State clarified positively identified as Tom Kelly To the Editor. Friday’s The Spectrum reports that David Crosby uttered these words to his audience at Buffalo’s Century Theater: “Hey, does anyone know who Terence Norman is? Well, a few years ago, Terry was on the campus at Kent State. He was the one who pulled the trigger. It turns out that Terry was an FBI agent. Yeah, this just came out.’’ With due respect for Mr. Crosby’s artistic contribution to the Kent State issue Four Dead in Ohio, I feel called upon to clarify that statement. On May 4, 1970, Terry Norman, a Kent State Criminal Justice major, who photographed campus demonstrations for the University police and the FBI, remained close to the National Guard during its patrol of-the campus. Minutes after the guardsmen opened fye on Blanket Hill, Norman was observed brandishing a revolver at some students. Two University staff members chased him across campus, through a skirmish line of guardsmen, to a group of Kent State policemen who confiscated the weapon. , Immediately..following. therdwMpgs, foe guard spokesman claimed that a.sniper precipitated the guard’s volley, and speculation arose that Norman may have fired the first shot. That speculation ended, however, when Norman and the University police claimed that the weapon was never fired. Norman told the Akrort Beacon Journal that he did not draw his weapon until' after the guardsmen fired and after he was attacked by a student armed with a knife. Curiously, Norman was not called to testify before either the President’s Commission on Campus Unrest or toe Special Ohio Grand Jury. Statements by two witnesses, newsman Fred DeBrine and now ex-guardsman Michael Delaney, indicate that Norman and a campus detective later admitted that Norman had fired his revolver. Neither Delaney nor or DeBrine stated they actually saw Norman fire that he triggered the shootings but they did charge that they overheard Norman and Kelly both say (when Norman was /disarmed) that the weapon had been fired. Curiously, neither Delaney nor DeBrine was interviewed by the Campus Unrest Commission, the Ohio grand jury, or the FBI. Delaney who was was not on Blanket Hill when the guardsmen fired the National Guard’s press information officer at Kent State. He said he issued Norman press credentials May 4, 197,0, after a University policeman (later identified as Kelly) told him Norman was “shooting pictures” for the FBI. On July 24, 1973, after a Congressional sub-committee began a probe of Norman’s role in the Kent shootings, the FBI disclosed that in April, 1970, Norman had been paid $125 for “information of value to the FBI regarding (the) National Socialist White People’s Party,” an outgrowth of the American Nazi Party. More importantly, the Bureau disclosed that “the FBI laboratory did not examine; (Norman’s) gun to determine whether it had been fired (on May 4, 1970) since the gun had passed through a number of hands before coming into FBI custody.” The hands referred to belong to Kent State police. v And that’s where it rests with the Terry Norman case: No proof that “he was the one who pulled the trigger” and no proof that “Terry was an FBI agent.” Perhaps Mr. Crosby’s conspiritorial view of Kent State will ultimately be vindicated. "Until that time though, haven’t we got enough conspiracies to .• .' t.. . ' Watergate about? - Rage ten The Spectrum Friday 5 October 1973 . . — — - - — / ' Paul Keane to i The academic community is well justified in a self-examination of its soul when the President of the institution finds it acceptable to belittle his office. Though the ill-conceived “pie-fight” between SA President Jon Dandes and President Robert Ketter was designed to garner support for a worthwhile cause, this is still a University community, not a carnival. Fortunately, for those seeking some “intellectual” exercise from this antic, history provides a useful analogy. In medieval and Tudor times, a “King of Misrule” was appointed each year to direct the Christmas time horseplay and festivities. In his book Shakespeare’s Festive Comedy, C.L. Barber describes how most wealthy households in that time would appoint a King (or Lord) of Misrule from among those who had been brought up in nobleman’s houses (servants). Dr. Barber adds that it was very useful for formal misrule to be used in formal households: “My Lord of Misrule, burlesquing majesty be promoting license under the forms of order, would be useful to countenance the revelry of such a group. And by giving way to a substitute, the master’s own authority was kept clear of compromise,” adds Dr. Barber. By this time the analogy becomes clearer. During the one-day reign of the “Lord of Misrule”, the master of the house would abdicate his authority with full knowledge that when the 24-hour period was up, the feasting, mimicking, gaiety and feellr$ of self-importance on the port of the Lord of Misrule would end, and the master would be reinstated to his superior position In the secular life of the Renaissance period, awe for the master diminished and accordingly the fun of a “Lord of Misrule.” lessened until its exploitation fell into disuse. That is, until last Thursday when Mr. Dandes, alias the “Lord of Misrule,” and Dr. Ketter, the ultimate master, conspired to revive this ceremony on the State University of Buffalo campus. That Dr. Ketter occupies the masterly position over Mr. Dandes is made clear by statements made by the SA President in the last month; including such wisdoms as there are no differences between the administration and students at this University, but the only existing split is between students and faculty. Students on this campus, especially undergraduates, must question whether Mr. Dandes has had time between his self-reported 37 sojourns into the community to improve relations between the University and Buffalo, to actually inform hiself of pressing campus issues, many of which pit students against the administration. Dr. Ketter has authorized the formulation of guidelines for the selective arming of Campus Security with an eye to the approval of such guidelines if he finds them acceptable. That students and administration don’t see eye-to-eye on this issue was highlighted by a 4-to-l undergraduate vote against arming last Christmas and by Wednesday’s sit-in at Hayes Hall. For many years the Colleges have fought emasculation by the administration, and are now contending with a proposal by Academic Affairs vice-president Bernard Gelbaum to cut the number of Colleges by two-thirds in order to increase funding to the individual units. Why isn’t Mr. Dandes instead arguing for an even larger increase in the Colleges’ share of the pie than that proposed by the administration? (There must have been some cream left over from the “battle”). Each year this University must defend its four-course load system to the decision-makers in the Division of the Budget in Albany. Criticisms have included the lack of faculty-student contact hours and the use of the system by the University as a gimmick to receive additional funds by necessitating additional professors to carry the course load. Students have defended the system against such shallow cost-accounting criticisms for as long as the four-course load has existed. Instead of fighting these erosions of justification for the four-course load, Mr. Dandes has now seen fit to publicly join the attack by agreeing that “a PhD does not justify a two-hour workday” and “we can’t justify the four-course load because of the lack of fauclty-student contact.” Mr. Dandes has also emphasized that his administration has opened up new lines of communication with the administration: “I am specifically referring to the monthly meetings that the entire Executive Committee has with President Kcjter.” Unfortunately Mr. Dandes has either been misled by the administration or has overlooked that these meetings Jhave jrgen conducted for at least thijee years now. Thisl$*me' setting of priSfTties' that Mr. Dandes brought to his pie fight with the President of this University. Dr. Ketter came knowing that his power was secure, that he had an SA President who would echo his policies when needed and who shared his concern for the improvement of University-Community relations over all other matters. In return for this, Dr. Ketter graciously appointed Mr. Dandes “Lord of Misrule” last Tuesday. y During his brief reign, Mr. Dandes was afforded the opportunity to cover Ketter with fresh whipped cream. Mr. Dandes’ court, the participants who bought or stole pies, rounded out the cast for the ancient rite. Mr. Dandes’ twenty-four hours is now up. The King is dead.

During this time, however, he also contributed three solo albums; Sir John Alot, The Lady and the Unicom, and Faro Annie on Reprise. John Renbourn is a double album that had been released originally as two single albums called John Renbourn and Another England in Monday (recorded in 1965 and 1966 respectively). The two solo alburris never made it stateside. When the two Ip's were pressed, Renbourn was heavily involved with the jazz and poetry scene over there. The material on the two-record set is wide-ranging. "Ladye Nothing's Toye Ruffe" has a stately, medieval classical ambience, while "Nobody's Fault But Mine" is a bluesy spiritual (Jacqui McShee makes a cameo appearance here on harmonies). Other numbers are nicely integrated with variant musical strains; the combination of blues picking and traditional folk patterns comes across in ear-catching profusion on "Judy," while jazz and folk are similarly harmonious in "Debbie Ann." J.R.'s early music is a paradigm of the foundation that was buried deep down in his talented mind. "Beth's Blues" is a beautiful rythmicy folky-Wues ballad that exemplifies his quite complicated, yet impeccable, finger-picking style. When Renbourn drops his voice down to a deep baritone, he'll stop bluesy effect. picking and pluck his bass strings, adding to the overall sings; blunt as he lyrics quite are J.R.’s Hey mama, hey girt, hear me calling your name. So sweet, so sweet my sugar so sweet, so sweet, Little woman so sweet. If I catch you massin with my little girl. You betta' not act so smart. For I'll cut out your liver and your heart. So sweet, so sweet my sugar so sweet, so sweet. Little woman so sweat. "Song" is a slow folk ballad in a style resembling England's Ralph McTell. The cut is a poem by the Elizabethan poet John Dunne, set to picking style accompaniment. Renboum's heavy English voice and light finger-picking make for an interesting effect.

He had to come from somewhere. Bird didn't just arrive, you know, he grew out of what came before. He spent many hours listening and copying Lester Young's every move. And then with his remarkable talents he went one step further, a very big step. He changed the music, but it was there before he got there and it was vital. Prez. Hawk. Duke. Jo, and so many other geniuses. On saxophone there was Chu Berry, Ben Webster, Vido Musso, Lester; on trumpets were Roy Eldridge, Hot Lips, Cootie Williams, Buck Clayton; oh man, too many to bother with. And Benny Goodman was really great. Just because being white helped him to get recognition doesn't mean he was bad, or any worse than he was. He was incredible. He did everything and was full of feeling, more to my taste than Ella Fitzgerald trying to sound like Rudy Valentino-check out the way she says you on "All My Life" just like Harpo imitating Maurice Chevalier. Just a little more society than, say, Billie Holiday, who sounded like no one else ('cep Bessie). She did a lot with Teddy Wilson. He had a band that sounded like a big band,but without the box. Usually just about seven or eight pieces. He played piano and was a romanticist at heact, and his band sounded great with the best elements of everything, somehow it always sounded like a big band, but it only went with rhythm section and a soloist most of the time, just like the boppers. But they played so fast, it almost sounds like chaos! Hold on, hold on, listen again to the swingers. For speed, nothing else. They went pretty fast, regardless of our modern day standards after hearing the likes of Bird and Diz, and cosmic Trane, all the above-mentioned thirties men could believe it or not match them at Roberta's always had it tough. She's older than we think, much older, and hides her scars amidst hazy photos. She was born Robert Black, but changed her name cause things were tough enough for a mellow, female piano player making it on her own. Names just get in the way, especially Black, like Larry who didn't get to run in the Olympics so some revisionist Russian has the audacity to be called the fastest human, but I know Borzov won't get an NFL contract and Roberta seems to be making a living. Someone once told me Carol King's Tapestry album sold 25 billion copies and if placed end to end would stretch from anywhere to Brooklyn- but what's she got that Roberta ain't? Yeah, King writes her own songs, but you need more than that 'cause so does Mikey Dolenz. Well, King has got the white Jewish market cornered, and that's one fuckin' big corner. It kept Leslie Gore going for years till the party was over and her boyfriend got drafted and was killed in Vietnam and she just couldn’t cry about that forever. But poor Roberta. I've got a cousin in Australia who likes her but he's too ok) to chew bubble gum so he'll never buy a 45. And if you want to hear a black woman play some piano listen to Alice Coltrane bang the funkiest blues on Cosmic Music and send John's tenor into bebop fits. And there are scores of black women, even lots of whites, who burn with such soul that few will choose to keep warm around Roberta's quiet fire. On the River she becomes black again and cries, "and it do"—but it ain't enough, though it do. Ah, there's this song Leonard Cohen wrote called "Suzanne," and Roberta kept me from feeling shit by making it the last cut and doing it real fine an' personal and anyone who takes that song and messes it up just ain't a musician. Oh, would I like to hear Shepp do it—get Burrell to play the right chords and Archie starts it with a scream cause he's Tampons are the easiest thing in theworid... velocity. So the music's more complex than 'swing' (ugh). Maybe for Trane, sure, but Bird was blues one/four/five much of the time, or close. But Big Deal! BIRD WAS GREATIII It's just that Teddy Wilson's great too, and Lester was also GREATIII You've got to hear Benny Goodman trying to sound like an electric razor, or Teddy drifting over mountains and skyscrapers, like the characters in the cartoons they have become too closely associated with, and of course you are aware that Louis Armstrong started it all, since he died. Lester's already dead, at a young age. Bird died young. So did Trane. So did Scotty LaFaro. And Paul Chambers is dead, too. Ben Webster just died recently, at a ripe old age and a depleted financial condition. Why don't they get rid of Doc Severinsen? Duke's still alive, you know. There's six tracks of Billie Holiday with Teddy Wilson here, which were supposed to have been already released years before, but I am unfamiliar with them and my collection is large. They're like the ones on the box sets that already came out on Columbia, but the quality is a little lower. Still, you know? More Billie Holiday. Like a blessing on our age. But the best thing above all was Jonah Jones, a trumpet player, and Benny Goodman, clarinetist, on "Sailing." The rhythms on the solos, first Jones', then after with Goodman trying to pick up on it, are incredible, like thirty years ahead of the time, (either that or sixty behind), the riffs come off like whips repeating in a rhythmic pattern, shooting right across the straight four-beat, much in the way Shepp and Mahavishnu do now, it's incredible. It came out of nowhere, the Swing era, though the swing era was great because this is the era that produced, it. Jonah Jones of all people. And I remember Hot Lips laughing on another album, but Roy Eldridge is on this one and he lives and breathes through his horn. And it's also kind of cute the way all the really straight hard basic blues sound so much like "Summertime", which makes me realize that maybe "Summertime" is where it's really at and now I'm sure. Everything’s just each person's interpretation of "Summertime", 'cause that's what it's all about, it all started there, the root of it all. "Summertime," yeah, just saying it in different ways, Teddy Wilson's got his. Swing. Alright. But he also realized that you can't just make the blues swing. You've got to swing the blues. So Roy Eldridge takes the vocal on "Mary Had A Little Lamb." He's got more class up his ass, as the saying goes, than most people have in their little toe. And he sounds so happy but it's still blue somehow. And Teddy's Face looks so kind and sweet on the cover, but there's something else a wonders even more than before of the dedication on love. OH, would I like more to write of love and get so sad when I think of those poor lovers who must call a woman on the phone to get off more on a voice when the voices of love, quiet, wild, and mellow, ring on phonos they can't afford. Hello Roberta? Yes, who's this? Oh. I'm. I'm ... you have such a nice voice Roberta. What do you want? Just to talk to you. to hear you. I've I'm hanging up, and don't you keep calling or I'll get the police after you. Good-bye. I had my tape recorder going for that conversation and you should hear it'cause it's the angriest Roberta will ever get. It takes more than a song to get her really emotional, but if she ever started getting it on and screamed a tittle you know anti-vigil groups would start checking up on her records so their children could safely listen to the radio. Like I said, it's been tough on her. Alice McLeod doesn't have to worry about finding an audience, especially now that tier last name is Coltrane. Carol K. has been getting alimony for years from her ex-husband who used to keep her locked in the oven. But Roberta struggled on her own and-she’s got it made now, and once Peggy Lee dies, it will be easy street. -Jeff Benson ... ... ~ Friday, 5 October 1973 The Spectrum Page thirteen *V«I Mv* ■% ffv\ TW* vV % .'■ y, i *-V, f y 1 ■ .

Do more than a thousand thoughts physically reside in a painting? That is the feeling you get at the Albright Knox from the exhibit of the Indian miniatures titled A Flower in Every Meadow. The "Flowers" are the symphoniously-arranged small Indian paintings that have been plucked from the collections of a few people in the United States. That a rendering of detail can be so delicate as to incise your eye with line that almost disappears off the painting, tells us why they are called miniatures.

Such quaintness appealed as much to foreigners then (1815 is the date attributed to the painting) as it does now. Pictures of this sort, along with sets illustrating native occupations, architectural renderings, and notable local curiosities were painted for sale to the British. The crazy mishmash of nostalgic decoration appealed to the patrons- of this art who were otherwise the busy servants ruling colonial India for England. Active-minded people are often drawn to such eroded hand-me-down native-type personality-symbols of passivity, while the more passive find them reassuringly comfortable.

Mrs. Meir revealed plans for the meeting on her return to Israel Tuesday night after a fruitless attempt to talk Austrian Chancellor Bruno Kreisky into keeping open the Schoenau Castle transit camp outside Vienna. The 75-year-old Israeli leader said there was no question of breaking diplomatic ties with Austria. “Israel does not solve problems by breaking relations with people,” she said.

Agnew in a fighting mood BALTIMORE (UPIJ * ■ °a y October 9 for Vice ' CAMPUS Former Burma Prime Minister advocates Buddhism Former Prime Minister U Nu of Burma challenged the modem minds at the State University of Buffalo to experiment with the Buddhist way of life. Speaking on “Buddhism and the Modem World” at Ridge Lea Tuesday, U Nu defined Buddhism not as a religion but a science to eliminate greed, anger, and ignorance. He said in most other religions, man must have faith in a supreme being, but this does not apply to Buddhism. According to Mr. Nu, Buddhism recognizes the laws of nature and the concept of Eternal Life contradicts them. “There is nothing such as Eternal Matter. Matter disintegrates as soon as it is formed,” he emphasized. Buddhism teaches that greed, anger and ignorance can be eliminated during this present life through meditation and fasting. Mr. Nu said by concentrating on inhaling and exhaling, one can control the mind because in time, these exercises produce acute awareness of bodily movements and feelings. Additionally, he pointed out that through continued mental concentration, one may recognize the transience of life and body, thus leading to an abhorrence for matter. Acknowledging that his father was his first teacher, Mr. Nu began his public career as a Burmese literary figure and was premier of Burma from 1947 to 1958. His government was overthrown in a bloodless coup in 1958. Re-elected in I960, he was ousted again in 1962. In recent years, he has been in exile in Thailand.

The net conclusion of a special, in-depth Harris Survey, conducted between September 23 and 25 among 1475 households nationwide is that with the passage of time President Nixon is in deeper trouble over Watergate, rather than the issue receding in importance. The public, previously reluctant to contemplate impeachment of the President, now is actively considering this a real prospect in the offing. SALE Here are other highlights from the survey; By 47 to 39 per cent, a plurality of the public now believe that “if the U.S. Senate Watergate Committee decides that President Nixon was involved in the Watergate cover-up,” then “Congress should impeach him.” Back in August, a month - Si Berlin $3.33 that rule. Until the link has been made between an official charge or finding by the Senate Watergate Committee, 'or a court, that Mr. Nixon was involved in the cover-up, or until the President actually refuses a court order to turn over the tapes in camera to a panel of judges, no more than roughly one-in-three Americans are prepared to think he should resign or be impeached. However, the number who believe Mr. Nixon should resign has gone up steadily from 14 to $1 per cent since last May. Any effort by President Nixon to claim that a decision by the federal courts is “not determinate,” in the event a U.S. Supreme Court ruling is less than clear, is not likely to go down well with the American people. In fact, there is now serious doubt that a court decision upholding the President’s right to refuse to turn over the tapes will remove the cloud that now hangs over him on the Watergate issue. The cross section was asked this question on the impending federal court decision: “Suppose the federal courts tell President Nixon he should let a panel of judges hear the Watergate tapes privately to decide which information on the tapes sheds light on Watergate, but the President still refuses to hand them over on the grounds that executive privilege is being violated. Do you think if that happened Congress would be justified or not to begin impeachment proceedings against President Nixon?” If Nixon Refuses Court Order to Hand Over Tapes : harrls Total Public poll earlier, the public rejected impeachment even in .the face of such charges by the Watergate Commiftee, by Transformer $3.69 a 50-39 per cent margin. The latest results therefore indicate a sharp turn around by the public on the impeachment issue. The American people simply do not buy Mr. Nixon’s argument that executive privilege and separation of powers between the executive and other branches of the federal government justify his withholding of the tapes. By a substantial 56-29 per cent, a majority think the President was “wrong to appeal the decision of Judge Sirica that he allow the Judge to hear the tapes on Watergate.’’ Although the normal judicial processes give Mr. Nixon every right to appeal a District Court decision, nonetheless the net effect in the case of the President and the tapes has been to sow in deeper the impression that he is using legal maneuvers to conceal the contents of the tapes. - A further indication of the worsening of Mr. Nixon’s position is evident in the results of yet another question in the latest survey, in which, by 50-39 percent, the public expresses the view that “if it is proven that President Nixon knew about the cover-up of White House involvement in Watergate, he should resign.” In August, an identical question yielded a 49-44 per cent plurality which though he should not resign, even if such proof were forthcoming. - Lou Reed $3.69 plus By 60-24 per cent, a majority of the American people have reached the conclusion in their own minds that the President “did know about the attempt to cover up White House involvement in Watergate while it was going on.” However, when “i* view of what has happened m the Watergate affair, should President Nixon resign or note?” by 56-31 per cent a majority still believe he should not resign. 51% Congress justified to begin impeachment proceedings Congress not justified Not sure 34% 15% The importance of the U.S. Senate Watergate Committee findings was indicated in this “If the U.S. Senate Watergate Committee decides that President Nixon was involved in the Watergate cover-up, do you think Congress should impeach him or not?” If Senate Committee Finds President Involved in Watergate Cover-up Sept. Aug. Should impeach him Should not impeach him 47% 39% Not sure 14% 39% 50% 11% Nonetheless, the public wants to be fair about making any final judgements and is reluctant to seek the President’s resignation or impeachment, until some official body has made specific charges or ordered him to take specific action, such as turning over the tapes: “In view of what has happened in the Watergate affair, do you think President Nixon should resign or not?” Should Nixon Resign Over Watergate - The-Man Who Sold The World Space Oddity Hunky Dory Ziggy Star Dust Aladdin Sane — • .3.69 3.69 3.69 • 3.69 Come in and check Cavages entire sale co>//action.

Much has been made of the apparent discrepancy between the number who think the President should be impeached or should resign and the number who think he did indeed know about the cover-up.

Dr. Paigen agreed to take on the position this fall, feeling strongly that the college needed one person to coordinate and direct it’s activities. With a mixture of calmness and enthusiasm Dr. Paigen described the new ideas a plans that will be implemented by the college. One of the most important functions she indicated, will be to bring small groups of people together. Plans are being made for a series of monthly activities, including environmentally-related topics; bike trips, a bike workshop, and a small group of students, brought together in homes of faculty to • Activities scheduled Activities will be getting under way this week.

Sift hopes to turn student knowledge into action by focusing on community problems. As an example, she cited students’ past accomplishments in the Environmental Action Course. They compiled a report on the “dirty dozen”, Buffalo’s major air polluters. This involved extensive research, and even changed a local law, by compelling the industries to reveal their emission statistics. Faculty needed As one of the few faculty members involved in the Colleges, Dr. Paigen hopes that her appointment as head of RCC will attract new faculty.“But the Colleges should be able to offer them something in return,” she emphasized. Dr. Paigen felt that a “PhD. represents acceptability in the eyes of the Administration” but that many _of the over recent recommendations made by Dr. Gelbaum implying that only three or four of the Colleges would survive. In light of colleges as a valid part of the this evaluation process that had teaching load.

Presently, she feels that RCC has a lot of faculty support and plans to use this as a resource. Dr. Paigen feels that environmental studies “are important for this University and can cause much needed interaction across departmental lines.” Through RCC she hopes to implement an inter-disciplinary approach to environmental studies.

The SpECT^IIM State Univarsity of New York at Buffalo Vol. 24, No. 19 Students to vote for preferred grading system by Amy Dunkin Campus Editor Pass-fail? Letter grades? Plus-minus? Undergraduates will have a chance to voice their opinions regarding the present ABCDF and alternative grading systems in a Student Association (SA) referendum today through Friday. The most important of the five grading questions will be the first, which will determine whether students are satisfied with the present ABCDF system. The second question poses two possible alternatives: the addition of pluses and minuses to letter grades or the institution of a new system of pass, pass with honors, or fail (P-H-F). The remaining questions will deal with self-evaluation, written evaluations by instructors, and the limit on pass-fail courses. Although most students and administrators have found many and varied flaws in the present grading system, the possibility of replacing it has met with mixed and even unfavorable emotions. Commenting on the advantages of pluses and minuses, SA Academic Affairs coordinator Bob Kole said; “Students in large lecture classes will no longer be subject to the pressures of meeting cut-off points, and any inefficiency in grading will not result in a big change in dim (cumulative grade point average).” On the other hand, he acknowledged that finer distinctions might increase grade consciousness, an effect most students agree would be highly undesirable. Option available However, Political Science professor Claude Welch found it hard to imagine grade consciousness being any higher on campus. Noting that as a faculty member, there were times when he wanted to “differentiate between a B+ and B-,” Dr. Welch preferred a plus-minus system supplemented by personal, written evaluations. He pointed out that the option of obtaining such evaluations from professors has always been open to students, and he encouraged students to take the initiative to request them. On the negative side, one student said the addition of pluses pid minuses would be “a perpetuation of the arbitrary discriminations that comprise grading. A grade is only an approximate label; to further divide it into pluses and minuses does not help indicate what the student has learned.” Regarding grade consciousness. Dr. Gelbaum said, “there are people who always try to do as well as they can and grades are the only mechanism for reporting their progress. Others who are naturally grade conscious will be bothered by the difference of a C or C-,” he added. Expressing his views on P-H-F, Mr. Kolc called it a “fine idea to get away from letter grades and numerical indexes.” He wasn’t certain, however, how P-H-F would affect graduate school acceptances from the State University at Buffalo unless it was coupled with mandatory written evaluations by professors for all upper level courses in a student’s major. (Question Nol 4 specifically mentions this proposal for mandatory evaluations under any grading system.) According to dean of the Graduate School McAllister Hull, there is no way of knowing a student’s capabilities by examining P-H-F grades alone. He also said that while written evaluations accompanying P-H-F grades would be very helpful, “asking for a careful and convincing judgement is more than you're likely to get” from faculty members who teach classes of anywhere from 20 to 500 students. Predicting that grad school admissions officers would “have to go beyond grades and depend more on GRE examinations and interviews,” Dr. Hull did not foresee any workable alternatives to the present grading system. Known vs. unknown Stating he has yet to see any grading system that is perfect for mass education, Dean of Undergraduate Studies Charles Ebert said P-H-F grades on student transcripts could be a severe handicap. He asserted it would be almost impossible to write a meaningful evaluation for every one of the 15,000 undergraduates unless they could attend only seminar classes, and that would create a “chain reaction of problems” including reductions in class size, hiring more faculty, etc. One pre-med student, presently applying to medical schools, strongly objected to P-H-F, claiming that admissions officers would rely more on med-board scores and that would be disastrous for a lot of people. He said it is a matter of “an unknown versus a known quantity” and “the more rigorous the system, the more it pinpoints the student’s ability.” Additionally, he contended if the grades were accompanied by written evaluations,” the paperwork involved in sending a Wednesday, 3 October 1973 transcript would be so outrageous that an effective admissions process would take at least two years.” He thought the advantages and disadvantages of the present system cancelled themselves out. Research needed In contrast, one English major said P-H-F would cut-throat competition for grades,” although admitting more research is needed to determine grad school acceptance criteria and how they would react to a P-H-F transcript, possibly accompanied by written transcript. Question No. 3 in the referendum asks if students should be allowed the option Of self-evaluation to supplement their regular course grades. Mr. Kole said a grade is often based on one term paper. However, that grade does not indicate what the student got out of the course. If a student felt his grade was unjust, he could submit a self-evaluation, explaining what he read, wrote and the grade he thought he deserved. Presently, students may take up to 25% of their courses pass-fail. The final question enquires whether students feel this ceiling is too high, too low, or enough. Mr. Kole personally judged this system fair under the present grading system. However, one faculty member noted that pass-fails are generally disliked by graduate schools, cautioning students to be careful and especially not to use the option in their major courses. �Student housing planned near Amherst campus by Amy Donkin Campus Editor The availability of low-cost student housing outside the dormitories will be a primary concern when the State University of Buffalo makes its final transition from Main Street to the Amherst Campus. Students and administration officials from the University will be increasingly invited to cooperate with the State Urban Development Corporation (UpC) in planning such housing for its 2000-acre Audubon “New Community” under construction just north of the Amherst Campus. When completed in about IS years, Audubon will include 9000 housing units, commercial centers, parks, recreation areas and major roadways for an estimated 27,500 residents, most of whom will be attracted to the area by the new campus. According to UDC spokesman Wolfgang Rosenberg, no definite plans have been made for accommodating students, although there are a number of possibilities that might prove feasible. Audubon is presently in the process of constructing its first block of townhouses, almost half of which will be subsidized through federal and state financing. Additionally, 20% of the rents in the entire town will be subsidized. Mr. Rosenberg said students whose annual incomes fall within a set range could be eligible for this type of housing. On-campus housing He also noted there are several open areas on campus grounds which have not been earmarked for academic facilities. Interest has been expressed on the part of University planning agencies (Facilities Planning, SUNY, etc.) and UDC to build an on-campus commercial center with apartments geared specifically towards students. Mr. Rosenberg said the possibility of such a venture, whichcould consist of a shopping center, professional offices, a bank and housing, would depend upon economic feasibility and whether other planning in the community might affect the success of thepxgject. There has been speculation that some development, possibly student housing, could take place on 500 acres of land owned by the Faculty-Student Association north of the Audubon sites, but Mr. Rosenberg denied that any serious discussion had occurred. Planning problems The many problems in planning student housing account for the fact that little has been done in the Audubon community. Scholastic Housing, a student group,had hoped to obtain grant money to develop student housing, but President Nixon’s proposed new housing program makes no provisions for such grants, Mr. Rosenberg said. However, he mentioned that the program provides funds directly to low-income people and It might be possible to include students in this category, if the Administration plan is passed by Congress. Mr. Rosenberg also pointed out that Audubon would have to design housing that will suit students but may also be utilized by non-students and families.

President Robert Ketter sits on the Audubon Board of Directors and might be able to use his influence as a member. Although it has only met four times since its inception last April, the Board will be a likely forum for discussing the student housing situation. Groundbreaking for the first residential construction site began during the summer. In addition to townhouses, Audubon will build a variety of private and semi-detached houses, and garden apartments for all income groups. All housing will be open to students, although a large percentage of it does not fall within a student price range. In an effort to absorb the impact of the new University, Audubon is accounting for 15,000 faculty and employees who will move to the area. BLOOD .

The repeal of a ruling against travel Alternative plans to raise funds for other reimbursements resulted from negotations between volunteer, expenses are now being undertaken. CAC assistant vice president for Student Affairs Anthony F. Lorenzetti and members of CAC. The ruling came last spring semester when the Student Affairs Office questioned the nature of expenditures for CAC activities. CAC is funded by mandatory student fees, whose expenditures must conform to SUNY Board of Turestees’ Rules and Regulations. Last May 17, Dr. Lorenzetti, Student Association (SA), Sub-Board and CAC representatives decided that volunteers’ reimbursements for personal expenses would not be allowed. The minutes of the meeting explained that the logic and justification behind the ban was “that the individuals freely choose to volunteer, resulting in an opportunity cost to them in time, energy and any personal expenses incurred in volunteering.” However, CAC director Mark Carlin objected, emphasizing that many students would be prohibited from volunteering due to the repetitive costs of bus travel, car usage and tickets for cultural or recreational activities. Furthermore, Mr. Carlin felt “the CAC activities do fit the Board’s guidelines,” which state that funds may be used for “programs ofcultural and educational enrichment, recreational -and social activities, and transportation and other student hopes to involve different foundations and utilize services in support of these programs.’ fund-raising activities to collect money that would not Restrictionreversed be subject to mandatory fee guidelines.

What is America’s role in this? The U.S. Most everyone is tired of Vietnam in one way or another, yet this is tragic because the war is not yet over for the Indochinese or for us and our war-makers. While overt fighting is still occuring, there is another war being waged; one which has received little attention. I am referring to the treatment given to Vietnamese civilians by the Thieu government in its efforts to its power despite maintain its keeps General Thieu afloat by funding 90% of his government’s costs. Included in these are the costs of his police and prison programs. The Nixon Administration is presently seeking Congressional approval for continued funding of the Thieu government. Over $15 million is explicitly earmarked for Thieu’s police and prison programs. This is in violation of the Paris Agreements and it actually represents just a fraction of the money which would actually be channeled into these programs. The American Taxpayer has unwittingly become an accomplice to cruel and unjust acts of dimensions which defy our unpopularity. In the areas of South Vietnam controlled by Gen. Thieu, civilians can be arbitrarily arrested, interrogated, tortured and imprisoned without trial. Laws have been instituted which rationalize these practices; for instance, a neutralist who neither opposes nor supports the Thieu government is legally defined as a “Pro-Communist.” Such a person may be a student, a teacher, a farmer, a religious leader, a housewife, a small child or an 80-year old grandparent, whose only “crime" is disagreement with or failure to support the Thieu government, or being in the wrong place at the wrong time. These are the people whose freedom and political participation are desparately needed if there ia_to be reconciliation and peace in Vietnam; yet these same people are the victims of the harshly repressive police and prison programs of Gen. Thieu. appreciation. ‘Routine’ suffering? The Thieu government is going to increasing lengths to disarm criticism of its treatment of Vietnamese civilians. Despite massive evidence to the contrary, in his recent trip to Rome, Thieu told Pope Paul that there are no political prisoners in Vietnam. Many first-hand sources have reported that the South Vietnamese police are systematically altering the classification of political prisoners to common law criminals. On CBS’s April 8 Face the Nation, Gen. Thieu declared that his prison system was open for inspection, yet one week later, Detroit Bishop Thomas Gumbleton’s request to this effect was refused. Thieu has claimed that the International Red Cross has given its “seal of approval” to the living conditions in his prisons, yet this has been repeatedly denied by the Red Cross. To say the war is not over is to be a Funded by U.S. dollars To get an idea of the enormity of the situation, it is necessary to speak of numbers. Reliable sources have estimated that there are about 200,000 Vietnamese civilians imprisoned by Thieu for political purposes. We must remember that each one nuisance or bore. Perhaps it is as Bishop Gumbleton relates, that “the accounts of torture and imprisonment... can become something quite routine. Our senses become dulled, and we accept the dullness rather than the pain.” But, he reminds us: “For each person there, the suffering, as suffering always is, is unique and profoundly personal.” It isImportant to remember that when a large segment of the public expressed outrage over the imprisonment of 600 American POW’s, it became clear that a political arrangement facilitating their release would have to be sought quickly. And in the meantime, public pressure forced the North Vietnamese to improve the living conditions of their prisoners. Commenting on his recent experiences in South Vietnam. Bishop Gumbleton said: “I will never forget the pleas of everyone I met especially the prisoners' families and the released prisoners to publicize what is happening to them. Their only hope for some relief is that enough people will come to know about them and bring about some kind of public pressure. It is necessary that large numbers of people join the effort to bring justice and freedom to these people. Left to themselves, they are helpless.” - - What to do? 1. Give voice to your concern by visiting, calling or writing letters to Senator Jacob Javits and your Congressional Representative. Both Houses of Congress are currently considering legislation which would continue to finance the Thieu government. Urge your Congressman to make sure no money is given to South Vietnam for police and prison programs. Senator Abourezk of South Dakota has offered two amendments to the Foreign Assistance Act which, if passed, would block all U.S. funding of police, prison, and internal security programs in foreign countries and prohibit all foreign aid to any government which imprisons civilians for political purposes. Many Senators are supporting these amendments, yet Senator Javits remains silent. Of the local Representatives, Thaddeus Dulski has voted most consistently against the War, yet even he has been silent about ending U.S. complicity with the Saigon treatment of Vietnamese civilians. 2, Contact the Indochina Mobile Education Project, 1322 18th St., N.W., Washington, D C. 20036, or locally, the Western New York Peace Center, c/o 25 Calumet Place,%uffalo, 14207 or at 883-0213. Vietnam Political suspects still held Editor’s note: The following is an excerpt from "Report on Quang Ngai (Vietnam) province since the January ceasefire." There are approximately 2500 civilians currently imprisoned for political reasons in Quang Ngai Province. During our two years of work in Quang Ngai we met and spoke with several hundred prisoners at various prison facilities. Not once did we ever meet a prisoner -who had been arrested for criminal reasons. In our daily contact with prisoners we continued to see the same prisoners after' the ceasefire agreement who were held before the accords. One particular example is that of a 67-year-old woman prisoner, Phan thi Thi. She was picked up on November 17,1972 in Mo Due district of Quang Ngai Province while she was carrying two pounds of rice on a road that was considered “insecure.” She was broutfit to the police headquarters in Mo Due where she was interrogated, beaten and tortured. During the beating she suffered injuries to her brain which caused her to be paralyzed on one side of her body. When we first saw her on the prison ward of the hospital, she was lying on cardboard with a hole cut in it through which she defecated and she wore no clothes. Besides being paralyzed she was in such an emaciated and weakened state, weighing about 70 pounds, that she was unable to care for herself and the other prisoners had to feed her. 4.V './ r £»^4'^*j‘’' \J\ ■ ,r. ■• ■■• 1 *■>(L i Page four The Spectrum Wednesday, 3 October 1973 . .

Presently the government reimburses the schools $.08 for every lunch served. The House proposes to raise this to $.10. New York State schools also receive an additional $.02 per meal from a state subsidy. The Senate version of the bill would raise the federal subsidy to as much as $.12 a meal, with provisions for additional increases if the cost of food goes up. Another amendment to the House bill involves the reduced-rate lunch program, allowing more children to participate by increasing the income level for eligibility. Presently the income level is set at poverty level plus 50% or approximately $62(K) for a family of four. The amendment raises this to poverty level plus 75% or about $7300 for a family of four. family of ten earning under $9600 annually. Hardship factors, such as illness, medic#! expense, unemployment, excessive rent, or casualty loss, are also taken into consideration. This way, families whose income exceeds the federal guidelines but cannot afford to pay for lunch due to other expenses can qualify for free meals in school. Buffalo has no reduced-rate programs. Holding the line According to Ms. Josephine Rise, the Food Service Supervisor of the Buffalo public schools, the Buffalo schools have been able to hold the line on food costs, unlike some of the suburban districts which she claims have a harder time maintaining costs since they get less in Federal subsidies. Several of these districts such as Lewiston Porter, Orchard Park and Lakeshore Central have begun contracting from private food companies. Ms. Riso feels that efforts such as these to curb price hikes are made at Possible veto There are several food programs being conducted in the nation’s schools. These include free lunch and breakfast programs, reduced-rate lunches, and free milk programs. Each meal costs about $.75 to produce. Those who buy lunch pay $.45 a meal.

ECONOMICS LESSON #1 Possible life on Mars studied Scientists at the State University of Buffalo, backed by a $120,000 National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) grant, are trying to determine if there is life on Mars. The study is aimed at providing NASA with information on present and future exploration and search for life on the planet and the possibility of bringing back such life to earth for study. James Danielli, director of the University’s Center for Theoretical Biology and principal investigator for the new program, said Monday the new study was prompted by findings of the Mariner “Basically, our ultimate purpose is to analyze the physical state of Mars, while analysing and incorporating what we know of the nature of life, to arrive at what form of life should be looked for and where to look for it,” Dr. Danielli said. If there is no life, he said, the group will try to determine “what form of life could be introduced.” “If there is life,” he said, “should it be left alone or examined, and perhaps even changed to accommodate human needs?” Future experiments “At the moment, we have an advisory capacity Previous studies suggested Mars was a very dry to all space shots now contemplated,” revealed Dr. planet, Dr. Danielli said, but “recent Mariner studies Danielli.

Wednesday, 3 October 1973 The Spectrum Page seven . . �DITORIAL. Grades and the system "The job of the school system is to sort people out; to tell the colleges end universities, end eventually the grad schools and corporations, who's reedy for more of the same." -Richard Sslzer, professor of Education, State University at Buffalo > Today's referendum on grading is really asking: "How to you measure the value of education?" Ever since our first grade report cards, we have been indoctrinated to believe that scholastic excellence should be measured in numbers and letters. If someone got a 90 or an A, he was a superior student, even if he forgot everything a week after the final exam. If someone else bombed that final exam, though, with the resulting effect of a 70 or a C. he was a poor student no matter how much he learned, no matter if that knowledge served him for a lifetime. We have been so socialized to competing for grades that we've lost the idea that quality education is supposed to teach people to think for themselves and ask questions. Instead, our public schools demanded memorization and regurgitation of facts to achieve society's external rewards: high marks, parental approval, acceptance into a "good" college. Creativity and contemplation didn't figure in this equation; arguing with a teacher for a 92 instead of a 91 did. As we climbed the educational ladder, any concept of "learning" became more and more meaningless; high schoolers in this state truly believe that their sole purpose in school is to "pass the Regents" and "beat out" their college-bound competition. Freshmen who make that "good" college often try to take a breather, to take courses that interest them and forget about grades for awhile. But by the time they are sophomores, they are once again caught in the med school/law school/grad school syndrome, and grades and test scores loom larger than ever. No one is denying that competition for grad schools and jobs, just like the struggle for college, is very real. But our colleges are more and more becoming a mechanized system for economic productivity which process, sort out, label, stamp and spit forth products to be fitted into slots required by society. Those who successfully play the game are rewarded with status and better-paying jobs; but the price is the same only this conformity, the same endless striving for external rewards time it's corporation brownie points instead of grades, money and color TV's instead of A's. What role to grades play in this framework? Ideally, if every student knew his professor well, if every course was a seminar of small-group discussion and outside research, the instructor's written evaluation of the student's grasp of the course material would serve admirably. But when classes grow too large for first-name contact, tests are substituted for first-hand appraisal, and grades are substituted for more in-depth evaluation. In this sense, grades are a necessary evil. Where time and class size preclude a comprehensive evaluation of strengths and weaknesses, the arbitrary labeling of grading must suffice Tom is an A student. Bill is only a B student. If Bill had gotten two more questions right on the last test, he would have been an A student but would he have been any smarter? Is it possible a C student who may not take tests or write papers well could learn more from a course than all those rated A? Once we get caught up in the competition for grades, we lose sight of the fact that grades are arbitrary labels inadequate approximations based on external standards which measure competitive performance, - by lanis Cromer The last year of high school and the first two years of undergraduate school are often remarkably similar. Perhaps this three-year span should be shortened by a year or more. This is the latest finding of the renewed Carnegie Commission of Crisis in the Classroom fame. Why does it always take an extravagantly-financed, expert-laden investigative unit years and years of researching to find out what every high school or college student already knows and has been complaining about for generations? Anyone from age 16 to 21 who has suffered through the public school tragedy (also known euphemistically as “getting an education”) can testify to the uselessness of his senior year in high school. In traditional education’s terms, the year is a complete waste. As one representative teacher said: “Seniors never do their homework, and are interested only in extra-curricular activities, if they bother to come to school at all.” He quickly added: “And the second semester is twice as bad as the first.” From a more permissive outlook, the senior year is probably the most enriching. If it’s true that high school seniors don’t concentrate on French verb conjugations, trig formulas or Hamlet essay exams, then they must be having a pretty good time. They probably spend more time interacting with their friends and pursuing their individual interests, right? Unfortunately, the permissive viewpoint is as far off base as the traditional perspective. High school seniors are neither merely goofing off nor are they relishing their freedom. More than anything else, not learning. they are bored. Boredom, the supreme creativity In today's referendum, students are being asked to indicate sets in on all public school goers. It gets some killer, preferences for grading practices at this University. Some have sooner than others (“dropouts” and advocated a change from the present ABCDF system to a “plus-minus" but it readies everyone by his “underachievers”), format, arguing that this would be "fairer" for those who just missed the cut-off for an A, instead receiving an A-minus or B-plus. But to senior year. Senior boredom is espedally unbearable because accept this logic is to endorse the whole warped system of the importance of grades; of miniscule, arbitrary discriminations; of a the end of high school is finally in sight. And waiting bundle of numbers and statistics representing a student. for your birthday party was always twice as hard If we endorse this retrogressive change, the next stop after A-minus two weeks prior to the Big Day as it was six months and B-plus is cumulative averages of 3.2674.

Seniors can see the light at the end of the should realize that an extra plus now could become an extra minus tunnel, but are forced to maintain some school ties next semester, and that while it may be ridiculous to spend long hours until or college acceptance is in hand. diploma, job studying for an A instead of a B, it borders on the absurd to strive for a The most regrettable aspect of 12th grade is its B-plus instead of a B. In the long run. what do such small increments of deception. Year after year, students are power mean? They only serve to obscure the value of true learning. “wait until you get to college, things will be told We prefer the third grading alternative: pass, fail or pass with honors, accompanied by written evaluations by the professor. There different then” or “if you don’t know Mohs’ would still be the incentive to attain an honors grade, and the broader hardness scale, logarithms and the five causes of categories plus evaluation would place the emphasis back on education. World War I [anything may be substituted here], Our sole reservation is whether a psss/fail transcript would be viewed then you won’t get into the college of your choice.” the rest of the world still operates on unfavorably by grad schools College is portrayed (especially by guidance the competitive system and penalize this University's graduates. We counselors) as the Promised Land.

The Spectrum Wednesday 3 October 1973 . , 1 don’t have to go to class unless I want to go. No more detention hall.” Yet the absence of dismissal bells and of a seven-period day are only the superficial differences between high school and college. The “teacher-as-the-fountain-of-knowledge” image is even more prevalent in the university setting. The teacher, as the theory goes, knows everything that needs to be known. The major concern, then, is how to get the knowledge out of the teacher and into the minds of students. Therefore, the more students that can be crammed into one lecture hall within hearing distance of the all-knowing professor, the more efficiently the university staff is being utilized. One seminar can perpetuate a freshman’s idealism. In the smaller class, a teacher may ask a student’s opinion. This being a new and flattering experience for him or her, the student can react in one of two ways: l)“Shit, finally, someone actually cares what 1 think” or 2)“Shit, I’d better do the work for this class. Mow does that professor want me to answer?” More -than likely the typical student, pumped full of years of grade-grubbing, opts for the latter response. Why not? The greatest similarity between high school and college is the system of reward. College grades are held over everyone’s head as the ultimate sanction, just as they are in hi#i school. Only in the university, the consequences of a “lousy grade point average’’ are portrayed as even more drastic. Now, it’s not “you won’t get into college.” The university warning is: “You won’t get into law school, med school” or “you won’t find a job.” (Since when will an ‘A’ in Psych 101 guarantee employment?) Grades are still regarded as the student motivator. Both high school and college adhere to the philosophy: “Without grades, no learning will take place.” Interaction with people and emotions are ignored in the college setting just as they were in high school. These concerns, at best, are regarded as “extracurricular.” High school is compartmentalized: English first period; Spanish second period; Lunch third period; etc. What happened in English bears little relation to the information transmitted in Spanish. College is just as fragmented: Monday, Wednesday and Friday at 10 a jn. Chemistry 201; at 1 p.m. Issues and Ideologies; 2 p.m. eat lunch in the Rat; etc. And the fact that you have a major does little to integrate the various courses. So, the Carnegie Commission proposes to eliminate one of these years of schooling. Perhaps the senior year in high school should go. Or maybe undergraduate school should end after the junior - - - - - year. However, improving the quality of education would be a more fruitful change than simply reducing its duration. (For a start, why not work on eliminating die built-in competitive nature of the schools?) On the other hand, if the findings of the renowned Carnegie Commission result in getting some time cut off our sentence, *ho are we to object? iiiilij.rt' Vi ■* V.'<V»yrvr « �Outside Set the record straight To the Editor: -In the Friday, September 28 issue of The Spectrum, the letter by Mr. Joel Altsman charged the Jon Dandes’ SA Administration with thrdwing away money. As evidence he cited a figure of “over $100” which was allegedly used to feed Jack by Clan Coined Anderson and members of the Student Association Executive Committee when Mr. Anderson was in Buffalo a few weeks ago. To set the record straight, costs for the dinner did not exceed $60, of which about half was paid for by the Graduate Student Association who co-sponsored Mr. Anderson’s appearance on campus. Two of the SA officials who attended the dinner that evening had their dinners paid for by personal means. The editors of The Spectrum and Ethos were also in attendance at the dinner. They were invited due to the nature of Mr. Anderson's field. Spending in this case was more than justifiable. The present SA administration, which inherited an abominable financial situation, can claim fiscal responsibility as a result of SA treasurer Kenny Unker putting a handle on the crisis and wiping out all the debts. It too often happens that people attack the SA for wrong doings without making sure that their facts are straight first. I hope that this letter clears up any misconceptions that Mr. Altsman might have had.

Well, a little Jack Daniels does wonders when a certain lady gets on you for feeling so sorry for yourself. Sometimes it gets to you and you sit at the typewriter for hours with your stream of consciousness blocked up. This week I just can’t seem to get it together. Went to Toronto with a picnic lunch, two ham and swiss cheese sandwiches, two corned beef, one bag of potato chips and three large dill pickles wrapped in wax paper. And a fifth of Jack Daniels. Huh? I find a place to stand inside my own head, but it restricts my movement and I get lost. What am I doing? What am I saying? Why have 1 done this for 8 or 9 or however many years it’s been? I don’t know. See you next week. Pete Ha mill, maybe? Here in Queens you see things differently than they do in Washington. Last night I drove in from Bay Ridge and went to Clancy’s, an immigrant workingman’s bar in the Irish section of Queens. But it isn’t all Irishmen here. There’s Stan, a second-generation Pole who drives a beer truck during the day. He sometimes delivers to Clancy’s; today he dropped off four halves of Bud, two cases of Harp, six cases of, Schlitz, a half of Miller and three cases of Ballantine Ale. Next to him is Spiros Aganastopoulous, a foreign-born Greek bricklayer working on a new mall someplace where he could not afford to shop. Then there’s Tony, a big, hulking Italian. His father came over in 1936 because he couldn’t face Mussolini. Tony has a large American flag in his basement where he keeps his old Korean War uniform. So 1 ask them about the Agnew investigation. These immigrants and sons of immigrants understand these things. “Huh,” asks Stan, and I know he means something more than that. I press on asking question after question. Finally Clancy comes out from behind the bar and, while Spiros and Tony hold my arms, he punches me in the mouth. “Radical weirdo,” he growls. Then there was my predecessor in this spot Harvy Lipman. Those of you who are juniors or better, remember him. Perhaps you read his article in last year’s Dimension on the 1970 riots. If you’ve never read him. it’s about time you did: If there’s one thing I hate, it’s writers (?) who spend a lot of time and print telling you they have nothing to write. It’s absolutely sickening. The disgusting aspect of this farce is that year after year we get the same incompetent, egocentric, inept and outright dishonest downs filling blank spaces on the editorial page of this newspaper (?). Somebody out there in this zoo ought to be able to come up with something like grammatical English prose on a real topic once a week Maybe it’s the mud and slop of Buffalo, with the most corrupt city government this side of Chicago and a culture (?) that would depress even a University administrator. What this really amounts to is a plea. A plea to someone who’s not afraid to say something once a week. A plea for someone to take over the Wednesday column after I’ve been here two years. This is getting ridiculous and we’re not even making an effort. two years ago Qi how about Howie Kurtz? He had a column last year before he became editor. Let’s see how he would put the problem of having nothing to say In Perspective: I haven’t seen The New York Times all week. Somebody stole my copies of Time, Newsweek and Psychology Today. But I’ll try to come up with something. The Nixon Administration has once again shown its callous disregard for human welfare. Don’t ask me what Nixon did remember, 1 haven’t seen the Times all week but you know damn well he had to do something. The results of his latest action will mean further cutbacks in needed domestic programs and inflation of the military budget. (So what if it was only proclaiming National Pickle Week; that’s what everything he does means.) As we face a potential nuclear holocaust, Nixon plays world statesman while the country rots from within. Psychology Today had an article with a theory to explain what’s wrong with everything, but I don’t remember what it was my copy is gone. I really wish I could tell you what Nixon did this week to get me mad, but I don’t really know. A friend did tell me - - Paul Kade National Affairs Coordinator t’s Inflations gin though, that Tom Wicker didn’t like it, whatever it was, and that’s good enough for me. ; Bob Burrick, Chairman SA Speakers’ Bureau This is in reference to Helen Applebaum’s letter in The Spectrum of last Sept. 28 implying that I purposely made a misleading statement concerning grading policies at other schools. When I had talked to Larry Kraftowitz (the writer of the article in question), it was understood at the time of the interview, that of the schools that had answered my survey, it was obvious that most of those schools had an ABCDF system with a pass-fail option. It it regrettable that the limited nature of the responses had not been emphasized. The survey was intended to give the Student Association an idea of not only what kind of a grading system a particular school may hive, but the degree of acceptance on the part of the students and the kinds of alternatives (if any) that were under consideration. I would be the first person to admit that my findings are statistically invalid but it was neither my intention to develop a statistical analysis nor should the findings be construed as such. . - But enough of this. Perhaps it was a mistake to do it this early, but I’ve done my obligatory “I don’t have anything to write about” column, gotten it out of my system and feel refreshed and ready to take on the assorted fools, scoundrels and hypocrites that infest our world next week. — See my parody of Russell Baker then.

The record of Nader groups, and state-wide PIRG efforts, are part of the ferment growing in our society pushing toward meaningful change. • , This summer I read Donald Ross’ A Public Citizen-Action Manual. (Don is the Director of the New York State PIRGs.) After a first reading 1 am more convinced than ever that we need a PIRG here. PIRG’s have the best track going for citizen action success stories on consumer problems, health care needs, shifting the tax burden, and making government agencies responsive. Do not miss the all-important referendum this week to have your P1RG get started. Vote “yes” and consider your three dollars an investment in a serious movement for truth and justice in our society. “In our interdependent society, applying our resources and skills toward a continual elevation of the human condition should become an integral part of our way of life. Citizen action is the most important job in a democracy, and only can fill it.” Ralph Nader. This week, on October 3,4 and 5, you will have the opportunity to vote in referendum to decide whether or not to assess yourselves a $3 refundable fee to support the Western New York Public Interest Research Group (WNYP1RG). As an interested citizen and consumer advocate I strongly urge you to vote in this referendum and support the proposition. There is a serious movement afoot in this country to put a stop to rampant false advertising, shoddy manufacturing, dishonest merchandising and fraudulent services. In our day-to-day lives as consumers we are victimized by them all. But for such a movement to be successful two things are required; accurate and detailed knowledge of current practices and leverage to bring those practices to a halt. There are many people in government who have, or are seeking, the leverage to provide consumer protection but find themselves hamstrung « , To the Editor: I’m writing this ’cause I’ve heard a few people putting down some of your record reviews, most notably those by JeffBenson and Norman Salant, at least the ones appearing in Last Friday’s Prodigal Sun.

Benson and Salant obviously have something to say about music and say it in their own creative way like short stories that tell about so much more than the superficial plot.

I hope they don’t take other’s criticisms too. hard and I hope The Spectrum has the courage to keep up with the new stream of of creativity. - by a lack of reliable information. With rare exception, the information gathering resources of the average city or county legislator, here and elsewhere, are meager and even the most dedicated among them are forced to operate in the dark a good deal of the time. A public interest research group can operate on two levels, at once. By feeding information to lawmakers on. the one hand and raising public consciousness about issues on the other it can satisfy at least two preconditions for public action; the development of knowledge and the creation of a citizenry that is well informed and ready to support such action. In short, 1 consider WNYPIRG, or something like it, to be necessary to the political life of Erie County and I urge you to support it and put it on a sound financial basis. Yours truly, Stan LaRue Involvement needed To the Editor. Susan Lubick Candidate for Erie The fall semester of the current academic year is well under way and th.e first meeting of YOUR STUDENT ASSEMBLY was held this past Tuesday evening. The problems and issues that have confronted us in the past remain very much at large. There are serious problems that must be considered they range from arming of Campus Security to academic grading revision. All of these questions need serious consideration which means student involvement. Too long has your student government remained in' a state of semi-consciousneis existence. Government on any level will fuction only to the means and extent that people allow. Your student government is in desperate need of a student involvement transplant. You are the government, make your voices and views heard. After all, you are paying dearly for Government inaction. This student body is not ready for the “Geritol” crowd. County Legislature Housewives support WNYPIRG To the Editor: Qf the two-waste-paper basket system on the current.UB campus and on the new implementation Members of the Housewives to End Pollution ■re familiar with the work of WNYPIRG and have heard of their desire to continue their work this year. We are impressed by their work in the past and would like to urge students on the campus to vote “yes” in the upcoming referendum favoring WNYPIRG. We' are especially pleased with WNYPIRG’* comprehensive report on the proposed Mrs. William E. Shadle Chairmant HEP Purge PIRG • To the Editor: Having already once been subjected, on another campus, to PIRG’s purse-string pursuit, I’ve become somewhat numb going through the same exact thing here at UB. So it was only the shock and outrage of seeing my beloved alma mater (Cornell) viciously slandered by PIRG co-chairman Michele Smith, in Monday’s The Spectrum, that now moves me to action, for I am now convinced that PIRG’s spokesmen are not only incipient demagogues, but liars as well. Ms. Smith states in her The Spectrum letter that NYPIRG “now includes such schools as Queens College, RP1, Syracuse, Cornell..The implication is that student boides at these schools have chosen non-voluntary funding of PIRG, and that we should follow suit. This is false. In the spring of 1972 I watched PIRG at Cornell go through the exact same moves it is going through here. First there was the proposal for a mandatory fee increase. When students objected to being forcibly taxed by their peers (taxation being theft), PIRG proposed a little box on tuition bills, the trick being that you checked it if you didn’t want to cough up the dough. While at UB matters haven’t progressed beyond that point, it was obvious then (and it’s goddam obvious now) that PIRG is still relying on student apathy, rather than interest, to get their money. Why should people have to act if they’re not interested; why should they have to go to the Bursar’s Office, or even check a little box, if they don’t want anything to do with this organization? Quite simply, they shouldn’t. At Cornell a positive check-off was finally used (you checked it if you wanted to pay) and 1973 saw a PIRG which could barely afford office rent (that was how much genuine interest they managed to arouse). It seems that at UB neither The Spectrum not the SA nor PIRG understands what voluntarism entails (though it could be better argued that PIRG, from past experience, knows only too well). Voluntarism means that if a person wants to do something, he takes those steps necessary to do it. He does not depend on would-be non-participants to extricate themselves from his plans through their efforts, nor does he hope they will acquiesce to his plans through indifference or forgetfulness or apathy. It’s his project; let him do what he can and it’s persuade whom he can. The Spectrum, Monday editorial, thinks that a negative check-off solves the problem of voluntarism. The Spectrum is wrong. PIRG claims that a negative check-off solves the problem, but it knows that this only hides it. PIRG is right. The same editorial leaves some other questions unanswered, among them being the question of just what the The Spectrum is advocating. The editorial states, with commendable insight, that “if students want to approve a $3 increase to fund this valuable organization, that’s fine." (Bear in mind that the same column, five paragraphs earlier, reads “we only object to the way in which WNYP1RG is seeking through a S3 increase in the mandatory funding student fee.”) What about those students who, because they’re either too dumb or too poor or too strongly opposed, don’t wish to pay or waste their time waiting for refunds? What if those students don’t care that perhaps they’re in an electoral minority? What if they don’t care to have others decide these matters for them? Will The Spectrum •ay “that’s democracy in action?” Will The Spectrum say “UB/PIRG, love it or leave it?” Or will The Spectrum add to its collection of blisters by still one more turn at fence-straddling on an issue? I began this letter with a reference to the incipient demagoguery of PIRG leaders and supporters. I call it “incipient,” because at least for the time being, it’s kept half-hidden. A previous letter-writer urges students to “forego a couple of beers,” when he really means “give me your money whether you like it or not;” Ms. Smith states that without a mandatory fee rise, WNYP1RG can’t join NYPIRG, as if this piece of red tape regarding a conjoining of acronyms justifies our forgetting the real issues involved. And so on. The demogoguery is incipient. It’s so incipient you can smell it. As a final note, I’d like to consider just what level of benefits we can expect from this group. Will it be creative, imaginative, innovative? Consider these two examples: a) the recent PIRG pricing survey ends by saying “we will be expending $200,000 a week into the surrounding area spend it wisely.” b) Co-chairman Smith ends her letter with “I urge you to consider the issues and vote as you see fit.” With creative advice like that. I’d do better talking to myself in my sleep. Oink. Page ten The Spectrum Wednesday, 3 October 1973 . - campus. Recycling paper is an area of HEP concern.

Academic Checkstops were erroneously placed on the registration of 300 foreign students. During the weekend of 9/23-9/24, the Office of Admissions and Records attempted to complete its invoice billing for the fall semester. As part of that billing process, it received the normal and regular request from the Office of Foreign Affairs to bill (or delete) 300 foreign students for a special insurance policy. (This insurance policy gives the individual additional coverage because of the general absence of dependents in the U.S.A. or the benefits special medical policies). This request was completed on 300 standard ‘Academic Action Request’ forms; one for each student concerned. The appropriate box marked ‘Foreign Student Insurance’ was checked on each form. However, instead of billing 300 students with insurance, the Office of Admission and Records sought it fit to read the request forms as ‘Academic Checkstops’ (300 times). No such action was indicated on any of the above-mentioned forms. Ai a result, foreign students collecting their registration cards early this week have been disappointed and confused by the checkstops placed on their registration; not to mention all the timeand effort that went into the preparation of these forms before the billing date. The Office of Admissions and Records is presently trying to recover their professional esteem by hand-processing the registration of those affected and 1 could only hope that everything will be done correctly this time around. Alas! We have another ‘horror story* of academic registration; one that can be so easily avoided if attention was paid to simple instructions, written 300,300, 300 300 times. ...

East German Foreign Minister Otto Winzer said Monday that unification with West Germany will never be possible. In his first policy speech to the General Assembly, Winzer took issue with West German Chancellor Willy Brandt and his foreign minister, Walter School, both of whom told the Assembly the Bonn government would continue to work for reunification of the two Germanys. "But what is possible, and necessary, are good-neighborly relations of peaceful between the German co-existence Democratic Republic and the Federal Republic of Germany in the spirit of the charter of the United Nations. “Such durable realtions of peaceful co-cxistance between the two, German states will have a beneficial effect not only in Europe but also in worldwide international relations and organizations.” Nixon confers on European trade President Nixon opened discussions with European Commission President Francis Xavier Ortoli Monday on trade and economic problems between the United States and the European Common Market. Ortoli told newsmen on arrival Sunday he expected to explore with Nixon the differing U.S. and European points of view on the new Atlantic charter proposed earlier this year by Kissinger. He said that he did not fully understand those differences. Ortoli said he did not expect to discuss the question of Nixon’s proposed visit to Europe late this year or early next but said he is interested in learning from the President the prospects for the trade bill now before Congress. Local police reform urged WASHINGTON (UPI) A federal commission Sunday issued a detailed plan for reforming all local police departments; including better pay, a ban on strikes and a requirement that all policemen hired by 1982 have college - advisory degrees. The 600-page Task Force Report on Police, compiled by the National Advisory Commission on Criminal Justice Standards Goals, and also recommended consolidation of all police departments with ten men or less. It estimated this could affect 80 per cent of the nation’s 25,000 police forces. The task force, headed by Los Angeles Police Chief Edward M. Davis, urged local police agencies to require immediately that newly hired policemen have at least one year of education at an accredited college or university.

The former Miami Beach mayor and son of the late President Franklin D. Roosevelt arrived Saturday from his ranch in Portugal. He is scheduled to testify — Wednesday in Washington. “My reason for coming to Miami is to meet with my attorneys here and attempt to reconstruct all that I did during the time when those charges were levied against me,” Roosevelt said Saturday. Roosevelt said, however, the allegations were false. He said Lopara might have made them because Roosevelt had backed out of a business deal because of Lopara’s criminal record.

Scott defends Agnew’s position WASHINGTON (UPI) Senate Republican Leader Hugh Scott defended Vice President Spiro T. Agnew’s position on press leaks Monday and said he believed someone in the government was - responsible. Agnew was returned to the capital Monday after a long weekend in California during which he said “1 will not resign if indicted” and accused the Justice Department of “malicious and outrageous” news leaks against him. Scott told reporters: “What I see developing is that the massive amount of stories released about the vice president represents an injustice to the vice president. I’m not blaming the press. I’m not blaming anyone. But I assume someone in the government is responsible.” Religions push school prayers WASHINGTON (UP1) The general subject of schools and the complex, emotional issues of church and state is becoming a sticking point in interfaith relations among the America's three major - organized religions. The Roman Catholic Church’s break with the rest of the mainline religious community over the issue of prayer in public schools widened a rift that has been growingjor some time. Since the Supreme Court banned state-prescribed prayer in public schools in 1962, the Protestant, Jewish and Catholic leadership had been united in opposing a constitutional change to permit voluntary Judge Sirica called a hearing Monday to inform the defendants and the press that the initial 40-year maximum sentence would be reduced. The judge felt that such a sentence would be “unjust” and “unwarranted.” In another development, the Senate Watergate Committee announced Donald Segretti will testify today on his “dirty tricks” activity during the presidential campaign of 1972. Mr. Segretti si supposedly the man who wrote the famous “Canuck letter” that hindered Senator Edmund Muskie’s campaign for the Democratic nomination. LOCAL Attica trial to move? ROCHESTER, NY. (UPI) An appellate court judge Monday signed an order requiring the New York State attorney general to appear Oct. 23 and show cause why court action on the latest Attica prison riot indictments can’t be - moved to New York City. The special Wyoming county grand jury probing the 1971 Attica prison riot handed up five indictments Aug. 31 charging former inmates with various crimes in connection with the riot, which took 43 lives. The defendants named in the earlier indictments, meanwhile, asked Marsh to either transfer them to the Erie County Jail or move the trials out of Buffalo. Most of those charged are being held in the Auburn Correctional Facility and they contend the distance between Auburn and Buffalo makes it “impossible to conduct our defense.” Iroquois Gas proposes increase The Public ALBANY, N Y.

Contributing Editor As the baseball season came to a close, Ralph Houk resigned as New York Yankee manager, while just as the basketball season is getting underway, Wilt Chamberlain signed a contract as player-coach of the ABA’s San Diego Conquistadors. Houk cried at his press conference; Wilt laughed all the way to the bank. One man left a position in which he seemed so secure while the other took a position it seemed he’d never want. The much-maligned Yankee skipper seemed to finally have a winner this year, as the Bronx Bombers happily rode atop the American League’s Eastern Division in June and July. It appeared that the eternal optimist had finally been vindicated. Within weeks, the bottom fell out and criticism was leveled against Houk faster than indictments came out of Watergate. Harry Walker once said it best; “It is easier to fire one manager than 25 ballplayers.” Houk was accused of mishandling pitchers, making bad trades, not playing Ron Blomberg enough, using Spanky Lyle too much, playing people out of position and anything else that went wrong. He has been called “the major” and been thought of as a hard-nosed tyrant. Strangely enough, if the man had one fault, it was too much patience. Time and time again in the last few years, he continued to use players that were doing poorly, confident that they would come around. Many never did and it hurt the club immeasurably. Optimism vanishes Last Sunday the optimism was gone, and his patience had run out. He was convinced that the team needed another man and it was time to step down. . . Meanwhile, the New York Mets, in last place weeks ago and struggling for 300, cap their remarkable pennant drive by tackling the Cincinnati Reds this weekend. Baltimore is pitted against Oakland for the AL crown. * • * * There is more than money to Chamberlain’s latest move, though $600,000 a year is ample incentive to jump to the American Basketball Association. It is the fact that the big man will now be a coach that is so fascinating. Chamberlain’s early image was that of an introverted, sensitive, seven-foot superstar. He wanted to hide from the world but he couldn’t. He wanted privacy and he bitterly resented the lack of it. One reporter wrote in the early ’60’s, that if Chamberlain and President Kennedy would walk down the street side by side, each wearing a conservative grey suit, people would stop and say, “Hey, isn’t that Wilt Chamberlain?” Insecure and struggling with his identity, Chamberlain finally found a home in California. Almost overnight be lost his super-sensitivity and opened himself up. Suddenly, he found a way to live with his image and to like it. Wilt’s million-doUar home is the manifestation of his new self. He has designed it in his own image super-big. Instead of hiding and telling the world to keep away, he built a mansion on a hill and invited the world to come and see it. — Now Wilt is to coach the Young Conquistadors. He can’t (as Bill Russell did) put John Havlicek in charge on the floor and let things happen. San Diego has no Havlicek. Chamberlain has to teach as well as lead by example. The question is, has he come full cycle enough from the early days to meet this challenge? �Soccer record drops to 1-2 with loss to Ohio by Dave Hnath Spectrum Stiff Writer Buffalo’s soccer Bulls, traveling out of state for the first time in their short history, were blanked by of Ohio the Bobcats University, 4-0 last Saturday. The Bulls record dropped to 1-2, as they failed to win on Saturday for the fourth consecutive time. The conditions under which the game was played were trying. The match, played at 10 a.m., was contested on the outfield of the baseball diamond. “I’m sure the condition of the field hurt us some,” remarked Buffalo coach Sal Esposito. “Part of the field was on the baseball infield (dirt), and the rest was on long, uncut grass in the outfield. We hadn’t practiced on the field, so we weren’t used to it. I’m not trying to take anything away from the Ohio team. They were one goal better than we were, but they definitely weren’t four goals better.” Penalty kick crucial The officials called a tight game, whistling 19 offsides calls against the Bobcats, and calling a crucial penalty against Buffalo as the first half ended. Ohio scored on the ensuing penalty kick, taken after time had elapsed in the first half, to give them a comfortable 3-0 halftime margin. Esposito felt the Bulls were also entitled to a couple of penalty shots in the second half. “I do believe there were two penalties we should have had. One was wlien 'Doug • (Leininger) was pushed in front of the Ohio goal, and the other a handball that was definitely inside the penalty area, but was called as outside. We dominated the second half, but we didn’t get the breaks.” The Bulls, outshot 14?2 in the first half, nearly opened the scoring when forward Jim Ypung hit the crossbar with a head shot. Ohio then tallied four unanswered goals. John Felgemacher, who picked up a goal and two assists in this, his first college game, said, “I’m really excited I scored today. I really wanted a goal today, this being my first college game, and against my hometown school.” HOUSE FOR SALE by ownar. Assume ev.% mortgage.

College E SPORTS INFORMATION LATE NEWS FLASHES , President Nixon “specifically” authorized the use of “covert” tactics by White House officials to obtain information about Daniel Ellsberg, according to the grand jury testimony of former domestic advisor John Ehrlichman. Mr. Ehrlichman’s testimony made it dear that President Nixon took a direct, active part in establishing and supervising the White House plumbers, created to investigate news leaks. It was undear, however, if Mr. Nixon authorized or knew about the major “covert” operation: The September 1971 break-in at Dr. Ellsberg’s psychiatrist’s office. Messrs. Ehrlichman and Nixon have denied that the President had any “foreknowledge” of any illegal acts such as burglary, although Mr. Ehrlichman has testified the President has the power to “authorize” burglaries if necessary. The new testimony lends credence to former counsel John Dean’s testimony that he was told by head plumber Egil Krogh that the Ellsberg burglary order came “right out of the Oval Office.” What’s Happening Continuing Events t&M Exhibit: Photographs by Paul Weissman.

WASHINGTON (UPI) President Nixon today ordered a mandatory allocation program for home heating oil and propane in an effort to soften the impact of threatened winter shortages. The White House energy advisor, John E. Love, said the mandatory system of allocating propane gas under a priority program would become effective immediately. Love said it was clear the nation “will experience some fuel shortages this winter and perhaps over the next few years.” The scarcity of home heating oil is likely to be most pronounced in the Northeast and the Midwest, while shortages of propane will be greatest in rural, feed-producing areas, Love said. He said the purpose of this allocation system is to insure a more equal distributionof available fuels so that no single area of the country would suffer undue — _ shortages.

The 11-question referendum will cover the election of SASU and SUSA delegates, new grading procedures, a usage survey for Aims and concerts, and the controversial question of WNYPIRG funding. In an effort to And out which kinds of activities students prefer, voters will be asked to indicate their preferences among art exhibits, coffeehouses, concerts, dance productions, films, speeches by poets and authors, and video productions. This may serve as a guide for future Student Association Activities Committee scheduling. Monday, 1 October State University of New York at Buffalo originated in a Faculty-Senate Subcommittee. They were then examined by the Academic Affairs Committee of the Student Assembly last spring and their final recommendations appear in the referendum. The Western New York Public Interest Research Group (WNYPIRG), a consumer research organization, is seeking funding through a $3 increase in the mandatory student fee. With this allocation, WNYPIRG will join state-wide NYPIRG and hopes to expand their efforts and work to the immediate benefit of University students. Two objections to funding WNYPIRG from mandatory student fees are that WNYPIRG may be too community-oriented to be subsidized by students; others simply object to raising the mandatory fee. The referendum specifically asks if students would support a 1973 $3 mandatory fee increase from $67 to $70 to fund WNYF1RG. If they oppose a fee increase a second asks if students would like Student Association to “re-order its priorities" and fund WNYPIRG from within its existing budget. At all campuses Voting machines will be on all campuses of the University. Voters will be required to identify themselves as students. On the Main Campus, voting machines will be in Norton Center Lounge, Diefendorf 147, and Goodyear Lobby. Polls will be open on the Main Campus from 10 AM to TPM Wednesday and Thursday, and 10 AM to 3 PM on Friday. Students can also vote at 4236 Ridge Lea and the lobby of Lehman Hall at the North Campus from 12 noon to 7 PM Wednesday and Thursday, and 12 noon tp 3 PM on Friday. Many of the issues that will be decided by the referendum will effect everyone at the State University of Buffalo. The Student Association is hoping for a large turnout. SASU and SUSA There are seven delegate seats from the two State University student organizations to be filled by the referendum. Four seats at the Student Association of the State University (SASU) arc open. Candidates are Paul Kade, Tyrone Saunders, Debbie Benson, Michael Phillips, Drew Presbcrg, Stuart FroWinger, Bill Atchley and Jeron Rodgers. Three delegates will be chosen for the State University Student Assembly .(SUSA). Candidates for those seats include Paul Kade, Tyrone Saunders, Debbie Benson, Michael Phillips, Drew Presbcrg and Stuart Frbhlinger. One seat in each of'these organizations is automatically filled by SA President Jon Dandes. Five questions on the referendum deal with student feelings about grading and alternatives to the present system. The first question asks if students are satisfied with the present system of ABCDF; the second question offers other two alternatives. One is the addition of plus and minus values to the normal letter grades. The alternative system is a system of pass, pass with honors, or fail. Also questioned are student opinions on self-evaluation, written evaluations by instructors, and the limit on pass-fail courses. The main ideas behind the grading proposals WNYPIRG funding slatedforreferendum by Howie Kestenbetg Spectrum Staff Writer A three-day Student Association (SA) referendum concerning the funding of the Western New York Public Interest Researcg Group begins this Wednesday. Hie first question asks if students would support a $3 increase in the $67 mandatory student fee to fund the' consumer research organization. If they oppose the fee hike, a second question asks if students would like the SA to “reorder its priorities” and fund WNYPIRG from within its existing budget. SA President Jon Dandes, who has opposed funding through a fee increase, said:“We do not have the power to authorize use of the mandatory student fee to hire a full-time professional staff of doctors, lawyers, etc.” Mr. Dandes explained that the referendum was being held to provide needed student input on a fee increase. Several SA Executive Committee members, opposed to any fee hike, expressed their preference for an attempt to fund WNYPIRG from within its existing budget. Mr. Dandes objected to the fact that University of Buffalo “must bear State the die brunt of the firuncial obligations for an organization that will benefit other campuses in the area.” He suggested that SA obtain firm financial commitments from other campuses before it promises such large amounts of money. Emphasizing the importance of allocating a mandatory fee to WNYPIRG, Michelle Smith, the organization’s co-chairman, said that the group will not be able to join or vote in die centralized New York State NYPIRG if they are forced to depend on a voluntary fee. Without a definite income WNYPIRG will have to phase out many of its worthwhile projects, she added. However, in a recent interview with The Spectrum NYPIRG director Donald Ross explained that even if a three-dollar allocation was not approved, WNYPIRG would still be able to join NYPIRG with a one-shot, $20,000 allocation for a one-year trial run. During this time. University students could evaluate WNYPIRG’s contribution and determine whether it merited an increased allocation (he following year. Mr. Ross said of this altemative:“It’s not the best, but it’s one we’d be willing to work with.” One question raised by SA Student Rights Coordinator Cliff Palefsky concerned the legality of a $3 increase. According to Mr. Palefsky, New York State has set a ceiling at $70 for all mandatory student fees. Because freshmen and transfer students pay a $3 orientation fee in addition to the $67 University fee, they have already reached thefor the WNYPIRG fee to be legally justified, it can only apply to sophmores, juniors and seniors. The Young Americans for Freedom (YAF), a campus group advocating the principles of conservatism and free enterprise, disagrees with the idea of mandatory fees and would like to end them completely. According to YAF member Jim Wilson Support for student activities should be voluntary, since it’s our money being spent.” Refund possible On the other hand, Ms. Smith noted that if the $3 raise goes into effect, any • student who does not want to become a member of WNYPIRG will be entitled to a refund. Critics have argued that any fee which must first be paid in order to register is not truly voluntary refund or not: Mr. Ross suggested a check-off box on the tuition bill through which students could waive the extra $3. WNYPIRG is actually one part of an overall super-structure of PIRGs on 138 campuses across the country. PIRGs were originally established to give students the opportunity to carry out research on issues of social concern including environmental, consumer, and other areas deemed worthy of investigation and change. Ms. Smith noted that last year, WNYPIRG successfully completed two major projects in the Buffalo area. In one, students inspected various toy and department stores, cheddng for toys that did not meet federal safety regulations. Participants in the survey discovered many retailers who were selling toys that were either federally banned or considered dangerous to children. Action by WNYPIRG led to the passage of a New York State law, giving the Attorney General greater power to prosecute retailers for marketing dangerous toys. A copy of the survey was also sent to the-Consumer Products Safety Commission in Washington, D.C. Hie Buffalo Office of the Food and Drug Administration was forced to take stronger action against offenders. NYSPIRG born In an attempt to organize all the PIRGs in New York State under a central office NYPIRG has recently come into existence. Presently, an ad hoc committee representing WNYPIRG is applying to NYP1RG for local board status. However, Ms. Smith contends that NYP1RG will not accept membership from a P1RG that is not funded by mandatory fees, although Mr. Ross has explained that other possibilities do exist. The referendum has a Complex background. It is the result of an action by Mr. Dandes, who in June returned to the Student Assembly its legislation that the SA should obtain membership with New York State (NYPIRG)by entering into a formal contract. Attached to the motion was a rider that would have raised the mandatory student activities by $3 and subsequently turned the money over to WNYPIRG. In a letter addressed to the Student Assembly, Mr. Dandes explained that although he “firmly believes in the philosophy of WNYPIRG,” he felt the action taken by the Student Assembly at its meeting last May 16 was “arbitrary and capricious.” The motion was proposed after the Assembly had finished reviewing budgets for more than six hours. At that time, about one-half of the members walked out of the meeting, leaving their voting instructions to proxies. Out of 32 voting members, 14 were proxies. The final vote was 25-7 in favor of the motion. Mr. Dandes commented/‘The preponderance of proxy votes was apparent and led me to question the validity of the actual vote.” Ms. Smith, however, objected to Mr. Dandes’ decision on the grounds that the vote might have been irregular but was not illegal. . . �Innovative school Love joy offers alternatives “In the other alternative settings,” explained Ms. Cohn, “there has always been a disproportionate number of males.” She feels a sexually balanced enrollment affords opportunities to learn about and alike have had of Dropouts graduates plenty their lives fragmenting practice in segregating social interaction. “These learning experiences are senses from emotions from intellect, building boses limited in a predominately male or female school. for art and abstractions, divorcing the self from the reality and the joy of the present.

He hopes for possible “community action” to alter that by Doug Radi Spectrum Staff Writer Richard Prosser, nominated for the position of interim director of the Colleges, was rejected Wednesday afternoon by Academic Affairs vice president Bernard Gelbaum. Mr. Potter had been nominated by the Colleges Council by a nine-to-one vote over Dr. Gelbaum’s designee, Curtis Bennett. College sources reported that Dr. Gelbaum made the rejection saying that he had “checked out” Dr. Prosser and found him “not qualified” for the job. He reportedly did not elaborate. Dr. Gelbaum announced the rejection Wednesday afternoon in what was described as a “thirty-second phone call” to Keith Klopp, the acting administrative officer of the Collegiate system. Mr. Klopp later confirmed the report that Dr. Gelbaum rejected Dr. Prosser on the grounds of being “not academically acceptable.” Explanation demanded A Colleges Council meeting was called last Thursday in which the members voted to request a full explanation of why Dr. Prosser was rejected. Dr. Prosser, attending the meeting, said he had not been personally informed of the rejection and would not speculate on why he was turned down. He indicated at one point he had been assured support by Dr. Gelbaum. The Academic Affairs vice president could not be reached for comment. “Dr. Prosser is still the first choice,” a College E spokesman said, but he expressed “doubts” that Dr. —Klrttain Gustav us OF UNIVERSITY RECYCLING SYSTEMS RECEPTACLES WILL BE IN Foster, Norton, overnor ’s& O'Brian Halls marked: “Paper for recycling” DON’T PUT DM; FOOD (OR ANYTHING TOUCHED BY IT) CIGARETT BUTTS OR ASHES METALS PLASTICS STYROFOAM CARBON PAPER WAX PAPER SUCCESS DEPENDS ON YOU—SAVE A TREE SAVE THIS AO NWlfe WESTON NEW 'tOKH FUtUC NTOEST R£SEASCH GROUP AD PAID FOR BY 5A decision. There was also speculation that the Colleges Council will decide to leave the position of Interim Director vacant until a permanent director can be found. Four applicants for the position of permanent director have been recommended by a search committee chaired by William Greiner, associate provost of the Law School. The committee was appointed to narrow the list of 200 applicants down to a manageable number for the Colleges Council to act upon. Nominees axed The four candidates are Francis M. Betts HI, M.D. Laurence, John- Maynard and R. Lewis Piper. After interviewing these candidates, the Colleges Council unanimously decided Mr. Maynard and Mr. Piper were “totally unacceptable” but added that this does not necessarily mean Mr. Betts and Mr. Laurence are satisfactory candidates. The search committee will meet again October 3 to consider additional nominations to be made by the Colleges Council.

Dr. Posser, when asked about his current status, said: “1 am still interested in the position of liiterim Director.” He added: “I also consider myself a candidate for permanent Director.” Election slate Same students vying for SASU, SUSA by Joe Micadi Spectrum Staff Writer All six candidates running for the three delegate positions to the State University Student Assembly (SUSA) from this University are also seeking to fill the four openings in SUNYAB’s representation to the Student Association of the State University (SASU). Only two additional candidates are running for SASU. SASU is a three year old student-services organization composed of representatives from dues-paying State University of New York (SUNY) schools. SUSA is being initiated this year to provide a'formalized mechanism for state-wide student input into (SUNY) decisions with participation not contigent on any dues being paid. Some students have questioned the need for having both a SASU and SUSA. At least one Student Association official has speculated that the duplication of dates, which is also occurring at some other SUNY schools, may precipitate the eventual merger of the two organizations. If that were to occur, one scenario would have the representatives to SUSA becoming the members of SASU, thereby ousting any elected SASU delegate who is not concurrently a SUSA member. Services explained SASU’s birth in 1970 was prompted by an increase in SUNY tuition and the appointment of Monday, Ernest Boyer as Chancellor of SUNY without any form of student input. Its aims are tb provide services and information to the 20 member schools .Weekly information packets containing legislative and important news from other campuses are sent to each school. Besides providing “Purchase Power,” a mechanism through which its membership can buy major products at near wholesale prices, SASU is making plans to start a Travel Agency which reduce costs for students, create new foreign exchange programs and provide a variety of insurance programs. The fact that SASU has never been recognized as the official voice of SUNY students has proved to be their major problem. SASU Legislative Director Ray Glass said:“We were an independent organization and therefore not a creature of SUNY’ We weren’t accepted as die official and therefore not a creature of SUNY. We weren’t accepted as the official This year the SUNY Board of Trustees, on a acting recommendation from Chancellor Boyer, authorized the creation of SUSA and recognized it as the official voice of SUNY students. Russ Gugino, SUNY Director for Student Affairs, explained that the “need for a student governance body is documented in the 1972 Master Plan and it is a real concern of Chancellor Boyer.

In the same way, veterans “stay in the same trip” after returning- home, Mr. Haynie said. In many cases, the veteran fftels a compelling need to retain the “tough guy image," although privately they confess their loneliness by Ron Sandberg Contributing Editor It could have been an encounter session, a group or a consciousness-raising experience. Rather, it was a course on hemophelia the fear of sexuality, particularly gay sexuality and the group of men and women came because the fear had been realized and felt and needed to be overcome. One male spoke of how he had lived in three dormitories and ap apartment and in all cases, out of fear, copcealed his gay ness from his roommates. It is this fear of being discovered and the incessant attempts at keeping one’s gayness hidden that make homophobia a trap for countless gay men and women. Homophobia is one course being taught through College F, which recently has evolved as the male studies college. Focusing on male socialization in America, the College’s list of courses includes Gay Male Literature, Gay, Straight and Other Male Sexism, Sex Roles in American Detective Fiction and a seminar in the psychic, legal and economic trauma of divorce. ‘Multi-dknenstonaT therapy meeting and desire for close male companionship. - - ‘Macho’ males Interestingly,, one course in the College deals with the working- class “macho” male. The instructor Works with men similar to himself, in whose lives violence plays a critical role. Examining why such men are so prone to violence, the course is an informal attempt to get people “to talk honestly with each other, [toj let down some of the barriers that we put up with all day long.” Teaching the course on homophobia was a “very political move” for its instructor, Howard Limmer. Reflecting on this step, Mr. Limmer Said: “Two years ago I was totally in the closet and was sure that I would never be ‘publicly* gay. I realized, though, that the only way out was to be totally honest about the way I was rather than conforming to a society of straight norms. It’s hard, because people do discriminate, but I refuse any second-class citizenship.” This course is a “milestone,” Mr. Limmer said, noting that he hopes to “make people more of what they want to be, rather than what society conditioned them into being.” ‘Multidimensional' Combining comfort and support with the understanding that “people aren’t to bullshit each other,” the College is striving to make people more open about their lives, according to Burton Weiss, an instructor and a major impetus in redirecting the College’s emphasis from anarchism to male studies. Although its major thrust is now on themes on sexuality and political and social change, the College was originally structured arOund new left politics and experimental education courses. The change to male studies began with a course on Sexuality and Politics, with emphasis oh getting the class “to talk about intimate details in their lives in as vulnerable a manner as possible,” said Mr. Weiss. This approach carried over to a course on Fascism and led to what has since become critical to the structure Of the other courses-namely a multi-dimensional approach with stress on psychosexual and historical/political analysis. Real talk Last year, Mr. Weiss’ course on Revolutionary Males was the “jumping-off point” to what has since followed. In this two-term course, the taping of classroom conversations was introduced, but mostly where people delivered lengthy autobiographical statements. Mr. Weiss strongly believes that the “presence of a tape recorder somehow cuts down on both kinds of bullshit [avoidance]-getting off somehow cuts down on both kinds of bullshit (avoidance) getting off He explained that there is a “premium on telling it like it is” and taping makes an individual “more careful of the demands of the interpersonal situation.” Of course, the tapes are subject to the limitations of the individual; “All we ask is that we can- make tapes and keep them for the duration- of the course to show an individual’s progress." One- tape which has been transcribed serves as the basis for the College’s structure. The transcript is of two men who recount what it was like coming to terms .with - According to Charles Haynie, coordinator of College F, the program seeks to reach all groups of men; gay, straight, divorced, married, alcoholic or drug-addicted. In addition, he hopes the College can serve returning war veterans as well as runaway high school males. Speaking on divorced men, Mr. Haynie talked about the possible formation of a community project dealing with men “confronted with the dilemma and insecurity of not having the security of a nuclear family.” “Marriage for many men is a crutch,” he said, noting that because of a male’s upbringing there is a hard and fast need to assume great amounts of responsibility and control.

When we had meals together, we couldn’t avoid getting indigestion, noting the overt hostility between the dwellers. Commenting on this year’s low enrollment figures, Mr. Haynie pointed out that “if we have to prove we’re a good College by enrollment figures, we can’t.” As one instructor put it: “I’d rather have seven or eight in a class and do sohiething than have 100 students and make no progress.

Their analysis of the psychosexual roots of certain failures in the new left movement and personal accounts of what it means to grow up male in America today has been “a great power in making people think about their own lives,” said Mr. Weiss. The tape, which he termed an “unprecedented” description of male socialization in America, laid the groundwork for the College’s current program. Arbitrary labels Mr. Limmer also discussed society’s practice of labeling according to sexual preference. “I want people to look at me as Howie, rather than gay Howie.” Labels, he feels, are “often arbitrarily given and sometimes used to avoid commitment. Some people say they’re semi-straight rather than semi-gay. Oppressed people like to identify with their oppressors.” The problems of collective living is also being tackled by the College. This course “deals with such areas as sexual relationships between those living together, groups vs. couples vs. single people, all males vs. all females, gay vs. straight and practical problems such as the shit-work and unconscious power structures, if any.” / 235 South 17th Street. Philadelphia. Pennsylvania 19103 (215) 732-6600 �Gas ceiling lift raises prices by Michael O’Neil Staff Writer Spectrum Retail gasoline prices will rise from one cent io 2.5 cents per gallon as a result of a relaxation of the retail gas ceiling by the Cost of Living Council Friday. The lifting of the ceiling almost immediately ended a protest by Buffalo area gasoline dealers which had closed the pumps at nearly 350 stations. As many as 500 local stations had been expected to join the snowballing boycott this past weekend to protest the Phase Four price ceiling. The lifting of the ceiling will cause an immediate rise in the price #>■ . of gas. The Council said it realized that motorists will have to pay more to fuel the family car, but added that the adjustment “is designed to minimis the increase while permitting a fair return to small petroleum dealers.” Cars had begin lining up at some local service stations last Thursday in anticipation of the expected weekend shutdown. Many gas stations had imposed a limit on the number of gallons that each customer could purchase. The United Gas Dealers of Western New York, which had been coordinating the shutdown, said they had had commitments from 200 local dealers to shut down and that another 200 to 300 cooperative dealers indicated they might join the boycott. There are nearly 800 gas stations in the greater Buffalo area. Future protests possible The Council’s decision allows retailers to pass to consumers wholesale price increases incurred between May 1$ and September 28. There was no provision for future wholesale rises, though, causing some speculation that similar protests might flare up in the future. Last Monday President Nixon instructed the Cost of Living Council to take action to allow a retail price increase by the end of the week. The Council took that action late Friday amidst mounting indignation among gasoline retailers. Gasoline wholesalers were allowed to increase their prices in accordance with Phase Four guidelines, while the retailers were forced to roll their prices back to the level they were at last June. along by Don Levine Gulf Oil, for example, has upped its price to the retailers by 1.5 cents. Gulf service stations in the area have not been allowed to pass this increase on to the consuming public. The retailers hope that their current action will force the Cost of Living Council to allow them to raise their prices. President Nixon’s statement earlier this week indicated that his administration favored passing the increase on to the public. As of now there has been no effort to force a rollback on the wholesale level. Many gas retailers in the Buffalo area claim that they are losing money on every gallon of gas that they sell. They blame the loss on a combination of the higher wholesale prices and the increased cost of maintaining their stations. Another problem for the retailer is the reduced allocations from the major oil companies. This practice has forced many of the independent operators out of business, since they depend on excess from the major dealers as their main source of gasoline. The oil companies are basing their shipments on the amount of gasoline that was sold by the particular retailer at this same time last year. There is very little excess to be sold to the � independents. . . EXTEND GRANTS PROLONG FUNDS with orange containers of milk. is shrinking the ten-cent dandy bar. High food prices have forced vending companies to decrease the size of certain products to avoid price hikes. Other items are either increasing in size by one-third to justify a 50% price hike, or being discontinued altogether. According to David McKeldownay of Tzetzo Brothers, a major Buffalo candy distributor, chocolate prices have doubled within the past year. The bulk price of all the other ingredients in candy bars have increased from 10-20%, depending on the item. Sam Davison, manager of Vending Service on campus, expressed his disappointment in the discontinuation of certain candy bars including Almond Joy and Caravel. ‘The price of almonds is what’s doing in Almond Joy,” Mr, Davison said. Raisinet freaks are also in for hard times. “You can’t get raisins (cheap enough] any more,” Mr. McKeldownay noted. He pointed out that “Mounds is going to $.1S and Snickers is remaining indefinite” as to when and how much the price will change.

People whose instinctive reaction is to kick the machine every time they lose $.15 should perhaps think about this. Last year alone, $40,000 was spent on replacement and purchase of new machines.

The vote came just six hours after the Senate had first voted in favor of the cut. The first vote approved Majority Leader Mike Mansfield’s troopcut proposal by a margin of 49 to 46. However, the second vote rejected Sen. Mansfield’s proposal by a 51 to 44 margin. White House officials, taken by surprise by the first vote, quickly organized a counter-attack to reverse the vote. State Department and White House members, led by W. Marshall Wright, the Assistant Secretary of State for Legislative Affairs, rushed into the Senate to try to convince senators to switch their votes. The Administration was successful in getting four Senators to reverse their votes. They were Warren G. Magnusen (D., Wash.), J. Bennet Johnston Jr. (D., La.), George D. Aiken (R., Ver.), and Milton R. Young (R., Md.). The Administration also picked up votes from two Senators who were absent during the first vote John C. Stennis (D., Miss.) and Lloyd M. Bentsen Jr. (D., Tex.). - Milder proposal Proponents of the Mansfield amendment arranged for Senator Dick Clark (D.Jowa) to be flown in from Iowa, but his vote was not enough to overcome the reversed votes obtained by the Administration. In addition, proponents of the Mansfield amendment lost the vote of Senator Weicker (R., Conn.), who missed the second vote. Soon after the defeat of the Mansfield amendment. Senator Cranston introduced a “fall back” amendment calling for a less drastic reduction in overseas forces of 20 percent by mid-1975. Senator Hubert Humphrey (D., Minn.) co-sponsored the Cranston proposal which, unlike the Mansfield amendment, would include naval forces in the reduction. The United States now has 564,000 servicemen overseas, 93,000 of them on naval ships. The Mansfield amendment applied to the 471,000 members of the ground and air forces abroad. It would have required the withdrawal of 188,000 by mid-1976, with a least 47,000 by next July 1. The Cranston amendment would require a in air, ground and naval forces by mid-1975, with 30,000 of this reduction to be made by mid-1974. 125,000 man reduction Tip the balance The Administration, which was successful in blocking the Mansfield amendment, is expected to have a little more difficulty in defeating the less drastic Cranston amendment. Meanwhile, senior Ajmerican military officers said that large cutbacks in the U.S. forces overseas could tip the balance of power in Europe. General Andrew J. Goodpaster, Supreme Allied Commander in Europe, said that unless cuts in U.S. forces are accompanied by similar reductions in Soviet forces, the present power balance will tilt in favor or the Soviet Union and its Warsaw Pact allies. A senior NATO intelligence officer said:“A cut of 25 percent or more in the Seventh Army and the United States Air Force in Europe could embolden the Soviet high command to believe that the risk of massive American intervention had been reduced to the point acceptable to them. Then they will go for what they want; the exits from the Norwegian Sea and the Black Sea.” Most military commanders agreed that cuts in overseas troop strength would lead to a greater reliance on the Navy and the Marine Corps. This could be in line with the so-called Nixon Doctrine which calls for greater American air and naval power overseas and asks the Western allies to provide ground forces for their own defense. — Legal Dope by The Legal Aid Clink Food Stamps Food Stamps are coupons which can be What are they? stores. grocery for food at exchanged must be made in person at the All apply? applications to Where Square Building, 295 Main Room 857 Ellicott Office, Food Stamp Street, Buffalo.

Fink, discussing the problems associated with the University’s Placement Center [see The sSpectrum, September 24, page Oliver Barret III (of Love Story entered Harvard Law School in the fall of 1964. During those three crucial years, he held several jobs and managed to rank third in his graduating class. Naturally, his starting salary was in the $12,000 range when he fame) one]. Dr. Fink, Coordinator of Student Affairs at the Ridge Lea Campus, and formerly counselor at the University of California at Berkeley, feels that SUNYAB undergraduates are basically “the same kids that we got in they’re in the top California twelve percent of the State.” began his law practice two days after graduation. State University at Buffalo Pre-Law Advisor . Jerome Fink can tell you a different story, or rather, dozens of different stories. Relinquishing much of his free time over the summer, Dr. Fink mailed two separate questionaires to State University at Buffalo graduates who entered law schools this fall and have attended law schools within the past four year. According to Dr. Fink, the response was overwhelming, with over one-third of the questionaires ... Middle class neglected Dr. Fink contends that the focus of placement efforts in recent years, has been on the third world students, the problems and goals of third world students. Although he feels this is justified, it has been implemented at the expense of the “white middle-class kid, who has an excellent Grade Point Average, but is discriminated against because he is, well, white.” The Placement Center and the Division of Student Affairs is charged with the responsibility of serving students while at the University, and assisting them in finding a meaningful career following graduation. “This could mean anything from graduate school in Psychology or History to Dental School or Law School sports becoming to a administrator or a fireman,” Dr. Fink said. “We must, in order to be effective, compile data on all fields of experience after the undergraduate experience,” he continued. returned. The purpose was two-fold. First, explained Dr. Fink, it gave the former University student a that goes beyond what the student can find the school’s catalogue. Modified SCATE proposed Fink also visualizes a to maintain constant contact with admissions people at schools where this University’s graduates are not in attendance. Additionally a modified SCATE (Student Course and Teacher Evaluation) booklet would be published for each discipline. Each booklet would contain answers to a series of questions BA is worth less Twenty years ago, the college asked of students who have degree was the key to $200,000 in applied to Law School; it would additional lifetime income. Dr. also contain statements from Fink said. “Today, it is worth just people at various law schools about the same as a high school relating what they found that diploma was twenty years ago. particular law school to be like. This causes the brighter students This can be a most valuable tool to continue their education in determining where a student further -to professional school or would like to apply, and what graduate school.” Dr. Fink field of graduate education he would like to pursue. emphasized that the placement In cooperation center does not have the means with the with which to handle all the Instructional Communications and problems Center, Dr. Fink would like to see questions video-taped interviews with encountered by students. The solution to the problem admissions personnel from various may be as complex as the problem schools. More importantly, Dr. itself. Attempting to eliminate the Fink would like to have a series of “groping” that students often do, tapes on “What a woman lawyer Dr. Fink has suggested a system does” or “What a Ph.D in English not unlike a “Mafia family of does,” etc. These would be following the SUNYAB graduates.” This system obtained by would entail a means of appropriate person around in a communication for students typical day’s work, and editing interested in graduate education. the film down to a few minutes. Facilities would be established so that a student who is interested in Sweden has similar troubles All these problems stem from Law attending Georgetown School, for example, could speak the fact that the universities are to a SUNYAB graduate now consistently turning out more and attending Georgetown to ascertain information about admissions, social life, costs, and other data . Dr. system ' more graduates, with less and less available jobs for them to fill. Sweden, which is often cited as “socially progressive” is also experiencing difficulty in fitting liberal arts majors into jobs. Those that do find jobs are having difficulty paying back their loans, which on the average total $6,000 per student, Dr. Fink said. The student who enters SUNYAB with little idea of what he wants to do when he leaves the University is faced with a problem of a different nature, said Dr. Fink. He experiments with various courses, and may find himself in a course that is interesting but far too difficult, he continued. “A *C’ will certainly be counted against the student in an application to any highly competitive professional school.” Generally, it does not strike many students that grades are important until he is well into his junior year, added Dr. Fink. Thenw/udi courses that he takes become important as well, Dr. Fink said. “Seminar on Nothing” “University or Experience” may give you an automatic “A”, but professional schools are interested in the content of the course transcript, not solely the grade.” Dr. Fink’s favorite expression is: “Applying to law school is the same thing you did in high school college, only for with a vengeance.” The same is _ applicable to nearly any graduate program. He feels this vengeance is sufficient to warrant vastly expanded programs for assisting the increasing number of students seeking post-graduate education. chance to speak his mind about anything pertaining to law school and more importantly, the student realized that at least one person (Dr. Fink) had not forgotten them. The answers to the questionaire are being used to give students interested in law school a reference point. For example, if a student with a 3.S grade point average and a score of 600 on his law boards wants to find out what sfeis/s schools other students with similar qualifications were accepted to, he would simply refer to a chart of previous student acceptances prepared by Dr. Fink. Inside information Factual information is not all that was requested by Dr. Fink. One student commented on the whole question of applying to law school; “Make the student be realistic about his average and board score. Make it known to the student that the board scores are weighed more heavily than his four-year average.” Another student seemed to have the whole system down pat. “If you are well-qualified, don’t over-apply. Select five schools you can get into, three you can’t get into, and three which will It will definitely take you. probably wind up you will get into three of the ones you can, one you can't, and two of'those you can definitely get into. Applying can get expensive.” Nearly all the law schools agreed the first year of school was the most brutal. Their opnions vary on quite a number of other questions and the advice they give could most definietly benefit the prospective law student, said Dr. Fink. His research endeavors may alleviate needless pressure put on prospective law students. Unless a law school candidate is a replica of Oliver Barret 111, he or she will welcome all available help.

WNYPIRG has been, and has strong potential to be, one of the best organizations on campus. Recently performing such valuable services as influencing tighter state controls on the marketing of dangerous toys and a food price survey of University area supermarkets, the consumer research organization has only just begun. Like apple pie, almost every politician on campus supports the concept of WNYPIRG. The organization deserves student support. However, we only object to the way in which WNYPIRG is seeking funding through a $3 increase in tfie $67 mandatory student fee. We believe that fee is too high and is becoming increasingly difficult to justify. Many students who would otherwise support WNYPIRG in this week's referendum will probably agree that the fee is already too steep and oppose any increase. However, there is another alternative being offered. A second question on the referendum will ask those students who oppose any fee hike if they would like Student Association to re-order its priorities and fund WNYPIRG from within its present budget. We urge an overwhelming "yes" vote on this question. Many SA officials favor funding WNVPIRG in this manner, but expect a difficult political time in. finding the money. If the students mandate that WNYPIRG should be given priority, this will make it possible for SA to justify the cuts in other budgets which would be necessary to create a $15,000-20,000 allocation for WNYPIRG. The issue has been complicated by WNYPIRG co-chairman Michelle Smith's insistence that without a $3-per-student fee raise, WNYPIRG could not join the state-wide NYPIRG. However, NYPIRG director Don Ross has said that while not as preferable, WNYPIRG could join NYPIRG for a one-year trial run with a- one-shot allocation in the neighborhood of $15,000—20,000. He has enough confidence in the quality of his organization that he is willing to make this concession, fully expecting that WNYPIRG will so clearly demonstrate its value to University students in one year that they will support an increased allocation the following year. Ms. Smith has attempted to justify the fee hike with the rationale that since any student can request a $3 refund, the fee is voluntary. We believe that with any truly voluntary fee, the burden is on the organization to collect it, not on students to demand a refund. Also, since no student can register without paying the full student fee on his tuition bill, the extra $3 would be mandatory in the strictest sense. If any voluntary fee were to be implemented, we prefer Mr. Ross' concept: a box on the tuition bill which students could check off and thus waive the extra three dollars. i TO? $ist I 03SCWE — With a budget of three-quarters of a million dollars, much of it' going to programs which benefit a relative few (like the inflated athletic budget), it would be a case of warped priorities if SA could not find $15,000 to keep WNVPIRG alive. WNVPIRG has already proven its value. With a decent allocation to hire a professional lawyer and researcher, its potential value to student consumers would be unlimited. If students want to approve a $3 fee increase to fund this valuable organization, fine. But for all those students who feel they must reject an increase because the fee is already too high, we strongly urge you to vote "yes" on the second question to ask SA to re-order its priorities and fund WNVPIRG from within its present budget. In this age of consumer rip-offs, we cannot allow an organization like WNVPIRG to die. It must be given priority. — i io-7 e> Occasionally it becomes clear to me that the world moves in a large number of ways let us say just about as many ways as there are people. Which is in reference to the Grateful Dead Concert in the Aud on Wednesday night. The realization which occured on my part was that different people listen to incredibly different things in music, or at least in different bands. The Dead are something to me which has considerably greater meaning to me than just as a source of music. They are a symbol that it is possible to stay in the same place with the same people for a long time and still keep getting tighter. There were flat spots Wednesday night. The Dead were tired,and seemed to be more into endings and remembering what had gone by than they were peanut butter cookies, one bag of Dads chocolate chip cookies.

In the cooler there were five oranges, six apples, one french onion dip, one brick of sharp Cheddar cheese, one container of raspberry yogurt, and I think that may be it.

If Nixon can enlarge upon, or even simply maintain his hold upon his monarchial throne, he would gladly see all of us twist slowly in the wind. I don’t know what Agnew did or did not do in Maryland; that will come from the grand jury. But there is something inherently disgusting about the obvious White House joy in revealing that Agnew is now in the process of plea bargaining, like a common felon in Criminal Court. The official White House liars deny that the stories are coming from the White House, of course, but with Nixon’s polluted crew a denial is tantamount to confirmation. So Agnew, who sullied his own personal reputation in the service of Nixon, now has to go to see Nixon and ask that Attorney General Richardson drop criminal charges in exchange for Agnew’s resignation. It’s humiliating, but Agnew must now know that Nixon and his employers don’t really care about Americans like Agnew. Agnew is an ethnic, a child of immigrants, and Nixon’s people have nothing but patronizing contempt for the ethnics and the immigrants. The bargaining process is going on longer than seems necessary, but that is probably because Agnew fully understands the treacherous nature of the men he’s dealing with. Nixon is perfectly capable of telling Agnew that the charges will be dropped, or greatly redued, in exchange for resignation; and then double-crossing him. So that Agnew could resign and go to jail for the rest of his life. Look at happened to G. Gordon Liddy, Howard Amt, Bernard Barker and the others. They’ll still be in the dam when Nixon i* retired to the $10 million called San Gemente. And so, Agnew, like most children of immigrants, has traveled the downward path to wisdom. Nixon used him in 1969 and 1970, letting Agnew carry die war against the press as part of a complicated strategy of White House survival. Through Agnew, Nixon pasted on a giant lie: that the press was Democratic, when it is iniact overwhelmingly Republican: that the press Was disloyal, when it was, in fact, Nixon’s crowd that engaged in widespread subversion of American principles. This is not to say that Agnew did not believe what he was saying at the time. Nixon certainly recognized the insecurity of the ethnic, the need for the immigrant’s child to feel that elitist conspiracies were blocking full enty into the larger society. Agnew bought the success ethic that marked so many people in the Nixon mob; the need to succeed often appeared to have overwhelmed the common decency of the man himself. Nixon is made of the same cloth; so he turned Agnew into his valet for as long as he needed him and then sent him back to the stable. • � � Now Nixon is using poor Agnew even more viciously: he must be gambling that the nation cannot sustain a double shock, the loss of a Vice President and the President in a single year. Let Agnew be axed, and Nixon will somehow drift through the next three years, rewriting history as he goes. At the same time, he can choose the next Vice President someone like John Connally who would insure the continuity of the Permanent Government in this country: all those owners of airlines, big businesses, multinational corporations, gas and defense companies, who don’t care who is in power as long as they own himlm.m. It’s a disgusting mess, but I hope Agnew fights. I hope he stays in office, and 1 hope he remembers where all the bodies are buried, and I hope he makes Nixon squirm and choke and shake across the next few months. Agnew used to pull a lot of tough stuff with his mouth. But real toughness comes with action, and now he has a chance to prove himself at last. I hope he goes down throwing punches. - - Ungrammatical horror To the Editor. As a tennis nut, I echo the “poetic, nostalgic” sentiments expressed by Jesse E.

Abbott WN Support To the Editor: Over the past few weeks, it has come to my attention that many people on this campus do not know what WNYPIRG is. Hopefully this letter will remedy the situation. In 1970, students all over the country realized that the best way to affect social change was to channel the energies released in the 1960’s towards more constructive ends. Seeing this, Ralph Nader and Don Ross originated the concept of a student Public Interest Research Group(PlRG). One of the first PIRGs was in Minnesota, and in that state, as well as seventeen other states, the PIRG has been recognized as a major force. Because of PIRGs, electric rate increases have been stopped in Vermont, environmentally destructive highways have been halted in Massachusetts, the jail system has been reformed in St. Louis, and countless other positive actions have occurred because of a PIRG. How does a PIRG work? Student researchers analyzing issues of social concernf and receiving academic credit for the same ) in areas such as consumer hazards, environmental degradation, corporate irresponsibility, and government unresponsiveness. Coordination of this research by a state wide board of students, elected by and from each member school, determining policy on state issues, control of student funds, and hiring of staff. The professional lawyers, scientists, and researchers to bring continuity and expertise to student work, all hired, paid, and controlled by students. And - above all, a local board of interested students on each campus carrying out projects that will benefit their immediate community the university and the surrounding area. New York State has just joined the roster of states that have the benefit of a student PIRG. Don Ross has been hired to direct NYPIRG, which now includes such schools as Queens College, RPI, Syracuse, Cornell, Colgate, and others, with a total student membership of over 60,000. Research areas on the state level include legislative reform and consumer affairs, as well as many projects on the local level of each campus, including sex discrimination in the University, handbooks on student rip-offs, student tenant rights, and many others. SUNY at Buffalo can and should be a vital part of this organization. Don’t kid yourself there are a lot of things wrong in Buffalo that can be changed with just a little student input. WNYPIRG will provide students with the outlet to affect necessary changes. Even if you know that you may never wish to work directly on a project, the money each student spends for PIRG will be more than offset when PIRG challenges the next proposed rate increase in electric and phone rates. Your will be asked on October 3,4, and 5 to vote whether or not WNYPIRG will receive initial funds to start a real operation in Buffalo. I urge you to consider the issues and vote as you sec fit.

This is not the case everywhere since there are still schools where Greek life flourishes. There was a time, however, when Greek houses controlled the social activities at this school. The first fraternity at the University of Buffalo was organized in 1888 by members of the Pharmacy Classes of 1889 and 1890. Although there were medical, dental and law fraternities before this. Beta Phi Sigma was the first one to be strictly University-founded. Beta Chi Epsilon was the first social fraternity, created in 1916. The first sororities appeared in 1920. As the university grew in size, students and facilities, the Greek organizations also expanded. Unbelievable numbers The total number of fraternitiesand sororities formed through this school’s history seems unbelievable when one looks at the situation totoy. The fraternities and sororities were each governed by a separate council.Being a part of these councils thus affiliated the houses with university. the The Inter-Fratemity Council (IFC) controlled fraternity functions. The purpose of this organization was to maintain the standards of fraternity life and inter-frateraity relationships, to interact with the college authorities to maintain high social and scholastic standards for fraternity members, and to provide a forum to permit discussion about fraternity matters. In addition to its legislative function, the IFC performed numerous services for all male members of the University regardless of fraternity affiliation. Each incoming freshman was given the annual IFC Handbook: a digest of all fraternities and a list of their members. ' Freshmen were also invitedJo a Freshman Mixer, held to acquaint them with fraternity members and allow them to ask any questions they had concerning a particular frat. 1FC also took an active part in intramural athletics in which it boasted a long and successful record. The Council ended each year with a formal dance that was restricted to fraternity members. Women busy, too The sororities were governed by the Panhellenic Council. (Panhellenic literally means “all Greek.”) The Council was composed of a senior and a junior representative from each of the campus sororities. In addition to the supervision of general sorority policies, Panhellenic also sponsored the annual Pan-Hell ball, the proceeds of which financed the Freshman Tea, the Panhellenic scholarship and the Scholastic Dinner at which the sorority having the highest scholastic average was predented with an engraved punch bowj. The Council also made and enforced all rules for the rushing period. Different cultures follow distinct patterns and ceremonies. So it was in the time of the Greeks. Rushes, Homecoming, the Kampus (Carnival and Moving-Up-Day were scheduled every year. What a nidi Rushing included all entrance requirements and pledges necessary for admittance to a house. It was usually accompanied by a silent period in which entrants were not allowed to communicate with frat members, except during the various pledge ceremonies. Homecoming was celebrated with a parade (and a float for the Homecoming Queen), various parties and a very popular football game. During the halftime, IFC-sponsored “Greased Pig Catch” was held, in which freshmen attempted to capture an oiled swine. The Kampus Karnival was another annual event. The week before the carnival was highlighted by the “Ugly Man Contest.” For this event each fraternity selected and photographed its “Ugly Man.” These pictures were then displayed in Norton Hall lobby. Students voted for their favorite hero by contributing money to the frat of the “Ugly Man” of their choice. The house with the largest collection won the contest. All proceeds went to charity. One year. Alpha Phi Omega won a $225 victory. Rites of spring Moving-Up-Day was a spring holiday. It was the last festival before second semester finals and was characterized by frat floats and MUD parties. The year was filled with get-togethers and celebrations. Some of the major ones included the Homecoming parties, the “Get Acquainted” dances, the Silver Balls, “April Showers,” and the IFC balls. Each Greek house also threw individual gimmick-type bashes such as Chinese parties, sing-a-longs, and raffle parties. Many functions were held for charity fund-raising. gala The great beauties on campus were honored each year elections. A different “Queen” was in various needed for the Junior Prom, IFC Ball, MUD party. Homecoming event and ROTC. Trips were planned so the Greeks could visit other “brothers” or “sisters” across the nation. All events were covered in The Spectrum in a column titled With the Greeks. Most of the fraternities and sororities did not have boarders “because the University of Buffalo was mainly a commuters’ school. They merely kept a headquarters for social activities. Therefore, although the Greeks flourished, this University was never considered to be a true “fraternity school.” A major blow hit the Greeks in 1967 when a ruling from Albany banned all fraternities and sororities from affiliating with the University. The Greeks fought unsuccessfully to have the decision repealed. From that year onward, the Greeks lost their power and influence on this campus. A listing of some previous Greek organizations at this University includes; FRATERNITIES Alpha Kappa Psi (professional business fraternity) Alpha Phi Delta Alpha Phi Omega Alph Sigma Phi Beta Chi Epsilon (later became Phi Kappa Psi) Beta Phi Sigma Beta Sigma Psi Beta Sigma Pho Beta Sigma Tau Chi Beta Phi Xi Chapter (scientific fraternity) - Chi Tau Omicron Kappa Delta Psi (later became Theta Chi) Kappa Nu Kappa Psi (national pharmaceutical fraternity) Kappa Sigma Kappa (later became Gamma Phi) Phi Epsilon Kappa (national fraternity of physical education) Phi Epsilon Pi Phi Sigma Psi (a local fraternity which merged with Beta Sigma Tau) Pi Lambda Tau Pho Pi Phi Sigma Alpha Mu Sigma Alpha Nu (later became Tau Kappa Epsilon) Sigma Phi Epsilon (founded by a veterans’ group) Tau Kappa Chi (honorary fraternity for School of Engineering) Upsilon Beta (later became Alpha Epsilon Pi) SORORITIES Alpha Gamma Delta Beta Gamma Phi Chi Omega Lambda Kappa Sigma (pharmaceutical sorority) Phi Sigma Sigma Phi Zeta Chi Sigma Delta Tau Sigma Kappa Theta Chi Monday, 1 October 1973 The .

Mr. Gugino added that what SUSA does is “provide the mechanism for access to decisions on a SUNY wide level.” When asked why SASU hadn’t been recognized as the student voice, Mr. Gugino responded that one of the reasons was SUNY officials felt a school “Wouldn’t -dtave to pay to be represented.” Another reason was that because SASU was financed by membership fees and independent, explained Mr. Gugino, “the Board of Trustees had no power over them. As a result there was no way to assure that SASU would gain and maintain representative status.” Many people have raised the question of whether SASU and SUSA perform duplicate —continued from pag*3— . . . functions and whether both are needed. As an independent organization, SASU tries to provide information and services on a statewide level while SUSA will offer student input to the Board of Trustees. A1 Senia, Media Director for SASU, feels that since the independence of SASU makes them accountable only to t.o students, that will create SASU’s legitimacy and strength. Merger SASU will present a plan that would make it the “student corporation” of SUSA. Although SASU would maintain its independence from SUNY while continuing to provide information and services, SUSA will determine student desires. Mr. Glass feels that SUSA will “get the best of both worlds this way.” He added:“Without SASU, SUSA will have no muscle.” The Spectrum ref ■* \ -Mm SA President Jon Dandes said that SASU is “overly paranoid.” He feels SUSA should be given a chance to get off the ground before a decision to merge with SASU is made. Mr. Gugino expressed great optimism for the success of SUSA, which he said was the only such system in the country with the exception of the City University of New York. The candidates for SASU in the Oct. 3-5 election are: Paul Kade, Tyrone Saunders, Debbie Benson, Michael Phillips, Drew Presberg, Stuart Frohlinger, Bill Atchley and Jeron Rodgers. Students will be asked to vote for four of these candidates. The candidates for SUSA are Paul Kade, Tyrone Saunders, Debbie £$ rsjrtc: neCC^ iwj!"

Attorney of the District of Western New York. The first scholarships will be awarded for the 1974-75 school year. There will be between 15 and 20 scholarships awarded each year for a period of ten years. Information on applications is not yet available. Mr. Parker said: “The scholarships will be awarded solely on the basis of merit.” However, he added that preference will be given to residents of Erie County in relation to other residents of the Eighth Judicial District which includes the larger portion of Western New York. Additionally, candidates nominated by the committee will receive primary consideration. Students who do not reside in the Eighth Judicial District are not eligible for the scholarships. According to Mr. Parker, the awards will not be given according to financial need. “The scholarships are not meant to cover the cost of living since the student will be living at home.

Anderson (R., 111.) offered a more political view: ‘They won’t bail the Vice President out of his predicament." Speaker of the House Cad Albert refused Wednesday to act “at this time” on a request from Vice President Spiro Agnew that the House of Representatives, rather than the courts, investigate the allegations of wrongdoing against him. The Vice President is under investigation by a Maryland grand juty for allegations of bribery, extortion and kickbacks stemming from his tenure in office as Maryland’s governor and Baltimore County Executive. “The Vice President’s letter asking for the House hearing relates to matters before the courts,” Mr. Albert said. “In view of that fact, I, as speaker, will not take any action on the letter at this time." Mr. Agnew’s highly unusual request to move his case from the courts to the House raised the constitutional question of whether it Was legally permissible to investigate or indict a sitting Vice President until he has been impeached or has resigned from office. In his letter to the House Speaker, Mr. Agnew, citing what he believed to be his immunity from prosecution, said he would “not acquiesce in any criminal proceeding lodged' against me in Maiyland or elsewhere.” Predicts vindication Mr. Agnew predicted that an investigation by the House of Representatives would vindicate him of any wrongdoing. President Nixon asked the American people Wednesday to accord Mr. Agnew the “presumption of innocence which is the right of any citizen.” Mr. Agnew, in his letter requesting the House inquiry, said: “I am confident that like Vice President Calhoun, I shall be vindicated by the House.” Vice President Calhoun was involved in a similar situation in 1826. He was charged with improper participation in the profits of an Army contract made while he was Secretary of State. He was exonerated by. the House of Representatives after a lengthy investigation. Mr. Agnew complained of “a constant and ever-broadening stream of rumors" against him. ’The result has been so as to foul the atmosphere that no grand or petit jury could fairly consider this matter on the merits,” the Vice President charged. Quick decision Presidential pressure denied Mr. Albert’s decision came both as a surprise and rather quickly. It had been indicated the House leadership would mull over the situation until sometime next week before making a Anal decision. There was speculation that the House’s refusal significantly worsened Mr. Aghew’s chances of heading off a Federal grand jury investigation. The possibility also remained that Mr. Agnew’s lawyers would nevertheless ask a Federal district court in Baltimore to block the grand jury inquiry. It is possible to circumvent the Speaker’s decision by having Mr. Agnew’s supporters introduce a bill calling for the impeachment of the Vice President. By statute, such a bill would necessitate the beginning of an investigation. There was no objection to the Speaker’s decision, commented Re. John J. McFall (O.. Cal.): “I don’t think the House should interfere with a court action." Rep. John The White House said Monday that Mr. Agnew has discussed the possibility of resignation with President Nixon. Deputy Press Secretary Gerald Warren said Mr. Nixon had neither encouraged nor discouraged the Vice President in that regard. Mr. Warren stressed that the President did not exert any pressure on the Vice President to take a particular course of action. The President and the Vice President have met four times since the investigation into Mr. Agnew’s Maryland political career began. Attorney General Elliot Richardson said (be Maryland grand jury would begin its inquiry next. week. Mr. Richardson said: “As a matter of law, this procedure should be followed." Presidential Advisor Bryce Harlow denied that the White House wants Mr. Agnew to resign. Mr. Harlow said already the Vice President’s predicament is “purely a personal matter.” However, Victor Gold, former press secretary to the Vice President, said the White House was “not particularly interested” in seeing Mr. Agnew’s problems solved. Career on trial Senator Jacob Javits (R., N.Y.) was one of the few senators who commented on Mr. Agnew’s unusual request. — Mr. Javits was not present at a meeting where Republican congressional leaders were asked to refrain from commenting on the Agnew dilemma. The Senator said the letter was aimed at placing his “life, his career and his standing” as the issue on trial. Mr. Javits speculated that if the Vice President put his whole life and career at stake, the House would be more lenient in their recommendation following the investigation. Were the Vice President to leave the issue to the courts, the Senator feels it would be more likely that he would be found guilty. Mr. Javits also said that Mr. Agnew opted for the “political route.” Mr. Javits, who is “no ardent supporter” of the Vice President, said he would not speculate on a possible successor to the Vice Presidency should Mr. Agnew leave office. He did say that his “favorite candidate” for President in 1976 is Governor Nelson Rockefeller. Senator Javits also said the commencement of impeachment proceedings against the Vice President would mark a “sad day for our country.” In a related development, a Maryland contractor has told federal prosecutors that he personally gave an estimated SI5,000 in cash to Mr. Agnew after Mr. Agnew became Vice President. The Vice President’s press secretary, J. Marsh Thomson, termed the "newspaper account as another “inaccurate and unsubstantiated rumor.” The story said that the money was not solicited. The contractor reportedly said that he gave the money to Mr. Agnew became he thought it was “expected” of him. News analysis VP s career destroyed despite final outcome by Marc Jacobson City Editor With speculation flying about what his next move will be the name of Spiro T. Agnew has become more of a household word than ever before. A Maryland Grgrand jury has been investigating Mr. Agnew’s period as Baltimore County Executive and Governor of Maryland, looking into allegations of bribery, extortion and kickbacks against the Vice President. Amidst leaks, rumors and unconfirmed reports, the grand jury had progressed in recent weeks to the point where they are ready to weigh the accumulated evidence and decide whether to issue any indictments (formal charges of criminal activity.) Following any indictment against Mr. Agnew, a trial would normally be held to determine the Vice President’s guilt or innocence. 5 W01 not resign Here lies the first question. Mr. Agnew, as Vice President, may be granted constitutional immunity from prosecution while in office. The only way the Vice President or the President can be tried, amny legal scholars way the Vice President or the President can be tried, many legal scholars indicated that he will not resign, leaving impeachment the only road to a trial of the allegations against him, if he continues to daim immunity from prosecution. However, this is a thorny constitutional question which has never been dearly resolved. Mr. Agnew appealed to the House of Representative late Tuesday to begin an inquiry into the charges against him in lieu of a court begin an inquiry into the charges against him in lieu of a court President moved to put his whole life, career and reputation on the line. Had the House decided to begin the inquiry, the grand jury investigation would have ceased, and Mr. Agnew’s fate would have been in the hands of the House of Representatives. In the House, there are no rules of evidence, so any and all subjects relevant or irrelevant are admissable as evidence and would most likely be presented. Charged with weighing a man’s total career, rather than trying him on strict legal grounds, representatives would likely be politically reluctant to cast Mr. Agnew out of office, and would probably be lenient in their recommendations. The focus of corruption in Washington has shifted from Watergate to Mr. Agnew. Although the Senate Watergate hearings are continuing, speculation and scrutiny have recently centered on the Vice President, and pressure has been mounting for Mr. Agnew to resign. —continued on page 22— �/ Finally Buffalo State offers journalism courses The long-awaited opportunity for the study of journalism has finally come to Buffalo. Buffalo State College, located on Elmwood Avenue, will offer courses in journalism and other media studies as part of the College’s Communications Media Program begun this fall. Charles S. Olton, associate vice president for Academic Affairs, is administering the Communications Media Program until a permanent director is hired. Dr. Olton cited a lack of adequate fiinds for the delay in implementing such a program. He said that state educators were reluctant to start a third school of journalism in New York State the other schools being Syracuse University and Columbia. Or. Olton added that their reluctance stemmed from the advice of professional newsmen and editors consulted by the state educators. Newsmen and editors expressed a desire for more people with journalism training. However, they warned the educators against “over-training” students beyond-' the BA level such training being both “unnecessary and impractical.” - - Career-oriented State educators decided to establish a program which would developed in consultation with advisors. Among the 40 additional courses listed, there are studies in the American cinema, newspaper editing and makeup, reporting of public affairs, motion picture film production, advertising and sales promotion, advertising design, graphic design, television production, radio and television broadcasting, public relations and ethics and law in the media. In addition, there will be several independent study courses and a paid internship program giving students an opportunity to work full-time under supervision in the communications industry. Dr. Olton was quick to add: “The list of courses in the bulletin is only a suggestive list.” He said that students could take courses at other institutions from law courses at the State University of Buffalo to fashions courses at Fashion Institute of Technology in New York City and have them counted as part of their major. Dr. Olton is being assisted by two program advisors, William Donnelly from the Department of English, and Julia Piquette from the Department of Speech and Theater Arts. At present, the State University of Buffalo offers only a few courses in, or relating to, the study of journalism. One of the courses is taught by Lee Smith, an editorial writer for the Buffalo Evening News, and will be offered in the spring semester. In addition. The Spectrum is offering a four-credit course in journalism this semester. - — provide undergraduate*courses in journalism and prepare people for work immediately upon graduation, Dr. Olton said.

Assistant Director of Campus Security Lee Griffin thereupon told the crowd of also having had a knife pulled on him. Mr. Griffin challenged the crowd: by Joe Plront Spectrum Staff Writer then Jeft, notably all of the members of the Brigade and Revolutionary Communist Youth in attendance. The boisterousness then evaporated. “The Buffalo police cannot be counted Attica Before an overwhelmingly hostile crowd of about 70-90 people. Graduate School Dean McAllister Hull conducted an open hearing Tuesday night on the selective arming of Campus Security. In his opening remarks, Dr. Hull traced the evolution of the selective arming issue through two years of committee hearings and stated that President Robert had decided to selectively arm two plainclothes Security officers on each shift of duty. He continued that the decision was reached after careful deliberation and the surveying of 30 campuses whose size and circumstance were comparable to the State University of Buffalo. After affirming that the decision to selectively arm the officers had already' been made and that it was a moot question to argue against some type of arming, Dr. Hull faced a barrage of criticism and hostile questions from the crowd. Loud applause greeted one speaker’s assertion that “we reject any proposal for arming.” Dr. Hull “What right do you have to ask us to go up countered with the observation that the against armed men with no defense?” The clamorous debating soon came to issue “is a null set.” an end with one student observing: “Well, Previous violence it seems obvious that all this talk is getting When questioned on whether any us nowhere.

Dr. Hull noted he alternative meeting outside and plan what witnessed an incident two years ago where action we can take.” Nearly half the crowd THEY’RE COMING FOR YOUR BLOOD!!! on to arrive on the scene of a crime in time, according to Commissioner Thomas Blair of the Buffalo Police" said Dr. Hull in response to a query on their availability as the questions continued. Two themes Two main themes emerged during the hearing; Dr. Hull stated at least three times that he is not willing to allow the possibility that an unarmed Security officer could have to face a person using a lethal weapon. Mr. Griffin also repeatedly asked the crowd to either allow the arming to take place of “redefine our (Campus Security’s] responsibilities.” A major criticism of students was that there wasn’t enough student input into the arming decision. An unidentified graduate student on the “Arming Committee” observed “when we needed students and their opinions two years ago, nobody gave a damn.’’ In fact, there was student representation on the committee that decided on selective arming. The most vociferous and alarmed feelings that students expressed during the two-hour hearing were their mistrust and apprehension about the arming of Campus Security. Many students also expressed fears that violence will only increase if the proposed arming is implemented. Mr. Griffin answered these objections and fears, declaring “not one Security officer in this country has shot a student in the past two years.” He added: “No one is concerned with the victims of these crimes.” The hearing ended on an inconclusive note, with a student voicing fears that unless a selectively-armed Security force is implemented, the State Legislature may legally mandate the arming of afll Campus Security officers.

Hebrew is the classical Biblical language; Yiddish is the folk language of the Jewish people. Only in this century has Hebrew become popularized as a secular not by Renee Rybnck Spectrum Staff Writer A recent immigrant from Poland with an extensive background in the Yiddish language will be teaching conversational Yiddish at Hillel House beginning October 1. The non-credit course will be taught every Monday at 7:30 p.m. by Paula Teitelbaum, a freshman at the University. Ms. Teitelbaum was born and raised in Poland. There she attended a government-supported Yiddish Day School until 1967, when she and her family came to live in the United States. She had little use for Yiddish in her everyday life in Poland, employing it mainly during cultural activities. However, when she arrived in the United States, Ms. Teitelbaum found herself in need of Yiddish. Her family settled in the New York area, and, until she learned to speak English, Ms. Teitelbaum relied on Yiddish as her primary mode of communication. She continued to sustain her interest in Yiddish while working in a Yiddish theater on the lower East Side. An active participant in the “Yiddishist” movement, Ms. Teitelbaum has previously taught at Camp Hemshekh, a Yiddish-speaking summer camp in upstate New York. More than language Ms. Teitelbaum intends to make this more than just a class in Yiddish language. Although development of a basic ability to read, write and speak are a part of her plan, she also hopes to include folklore, Yiddish songs, and an introduction to Yiddish literature, theater and other cultural aspects. “These are the things that stay with people longer,” she emphasized. A description of what Yiddish actually is may be necessary for those many individuals who are unfamiliar with it. Yiddish has often been called a. “bastardization rather than a language,” because all of Yiddish is borrowed (or stolen) from other languages. The language was born in the Rhine Valley of Germany in the 12th Century. The Jews living there spoke German among themselves, but when they wrote German, they used Hebrew letters. Through the centuries, German words were modified, Hebrew words were added, and this spoken and written idiom developed its own syntax. As the Jews moved eastward, they carried with them this new language, adding Polish, Russian and Lithuanian words as they settled in these countries. In fact, wherever Jews have traveled, their Yiddish has been influenced by the language of the region in which they settled. Hebrew differentiated By the 18th Century, the great majority of European Jews spoke Yiddish only; Hebrew was reserved for scholars and praying. Hebrew and Yiddish are sometimes confused by those who do language. In the early years of the 20th Century, Yiddish was spoken by an estimated ten million people, living mainly in Eastern Europe and the United States. The use of Yiddish declined after World War -^Alvln Paula Teitelbaum II. However, there has recently been a revival of the popularity of Yiddish in the United States and Canada. Courses like Ms. Teitelbaum’s may help to preserve it from virtual extinction. Yiddish has manifested itself in various aspects of Jewish cultural life. Yiddish theater achieved artistic distinction toward the end of the 19th Century. Yiddish newspapers are still published in cities throughout the world, Including New York, Paris, Warsaw and Israel. Writers of Yiddish literature are well-renowned and widely read even today, including Sholom Aleichem, I.L.Peretz and Mendele Mocher Sforim. Music, poetry and scholarly books have also been written in Yiddish. In the United States there are two Yiddish school systems: “Folkschulen” (folk schools) and “Arbcitering.” Ms. Teitelbaum describes Yiddish as “a beautifully desriptive and warm language. I love Yiddish. It’s more than just a language to me it has been very important in my life.” All interested students may enroll in the course by calling Hillel at 836-4540 or by registering at the first meeting on October 1. ...

Thomas Kline, assistant professor of French who directed last year’s program, said it is a “most versatile program” that allows accepted students the unique opportunity to take courses at a foreign university. Dr. Kline explained that students are provided with air transportation from New York to Grenoble and living quarters with French families. The program consists of a semester or two of studies (16-18 credit hours per semester), fully integrated into the undergraduate curriculum, The student is given the option of taking literature courses, an independent study project, a work-study situation which provides jobs in banks or hospitals for credit, and elective programs in other subjects. Dr. Kline added that students may also have the option of teaching at a French high school. “There is noway a student can feel adequate about his French or his understanding of French culture” until he actually places himself into a living situation with the people of a foreign country, said Dr. Kline. Only then can they “sense they are not doing something artificial,” he added. Open admission The Study Abroad Program is open to every student with a good scholastic record, including those who do not attend the State University of Buffalo. The cost is equal to that of tuition and residence hall fees at this University. The prerequisites are two or three semesters of advanced language and civilization courses, plus two years of beginning courses or equivalent, Last spring, about half of the approximately 50 applicants were accepted. Dr. Kline accompanied the students last year to Grenoble. “My job was to keep track of every aspect of the life of a student,” he said, as well as acting as professor, guidance counselor, and dean of students. He met with the students once a week to discuss any problems they had. Tutors were also hired to oversee the students’ work and make sure they were getting the most out of their courses, The students had normal vacations during which they were free to go where they pleased, Grenoble is nestled in the Alps with Italy and Switzerland easily accessible. It is one of the best skiing resorts in the world. Dr, Kline said: “It surpassed all expectations of physical beauty." During the year, small excursions were taken to Burgundy or to the Mediterranean. Although Grenoble itself is very small, the city is culturally alive and offers much in the way of theater. The deadline for applications is March IS for the fall and November 1 for the spring. There will be a meeting on Monday, October 1 in Norton Union, Room 234 for anyone interested in joining or finding out about studying abroad. LSAT deadline Pre-law advisor Jerome S. Fink urges all students interested in applying to Law School in the fall to take the October administration of the Law School Aptitude Test (LSAT). The deadline for filing for the test is today. Dr. Fink suggests that students mail the application, which is available outside the placement office at Hayes C, Special Delivery. If you have any questions, you may teach Dr. Fink at 831-4414.

With an assessment of what was termed the “state of the association,” SA President Jon Dandes outlined the areas of concern with which his administration has been dealing, to give “a general idea of where the Assembly is going.” Specific action arose in response to a criticism Difficult defense Mr. Dandes said he had been to Albany and sensed that the University was having an increasingly difficult time defending the four-course system. “We can’t justify the four-course load because of the lack by members that a major fault of the SA has been its failure to take definite stands on important campus issues. An ad hoc committee was formed to voice student opposition to the arming of Campus Security, to refuse any decision made on the issue, and to force the issue back into a committee with more student input. A subsidiary committee was formed to discuss new ways of bringing other important issues to the awareness of students. Concern was also expressed over finding more effective ways of bringing student pressure to bear on the University administration. Many members felt that the SA has had relatively little power in policy-making decisions in the University. Initiatives needed Mr. Dandes described the workings of the present SA administration as a move away from “crisis management” to a more “initiative” action. He mentioned the release of a “master plan” containing a set of priorities and goals sometime in midrOctober. Citing the “criminal negligence” of past SA’s in what they perceived as their responsibilities, he said his administration would be, above all, “accountable” to the students as their elected officers. In response to queries concerning the athletic budget, Mr. Dandes stated that the question of funding sports was upcoming and a committee had been appointed to assess the situation and establish priorities. The SA has informed the Athletic Department and is awaiting their itemized budget. Another issue of concern at Monday’s meeting was the four-course load. Mr. Dandes maintained that there was a problem with the four-course load PhD is not a license for a two-hour workday,” continued Mr. Dandes, apparently implying that professors spend little time with students outside the classroom Mr. Dandes noted the need for improved student-faculty relations.

Spiro Agnew has decided that a sitting Vice President is not subject to criminal prosecution unless he is impeached or resigns from office. Such a position on that controversial Constitutional question is going to yield serious repurcussions for Mr. Agnew, for President Nixon, and for the nation. Mr. Agnew has unmistakably chosen "the political route" by requesting that the grand jury investigation against him for alleged bribery and kickback charges during his political career in Maryland be halted, and an inquiry by the House of Representatives be substituted in its place. Unlike a judicial investigation, a House inquiry would be conducted without rules of evidence or other legal procedures; it would consider such factors as Mr. Agnew's integrity and career, which would be irrelevant in a court of law, and the Vice President's chances for acquittal would be far greater. Mr. Agnew's decision to resist the grand jury must in part be based on the knowledge that there is a strong case against him. Amidst rumors that Mr. Agnew would resign in exchange for pleading guilty to a lesser charge, CBS quoted assistant Attorney General Henry Petersen as saying, "We've got the evidence; we've got it cold." Apparently ruling out resignation and deciding to fight for his political life, Mr. Agnew is unconfident that judicial proceedings will confirm his stated To the Editor. innocence. Instead, he has attempted to throw his political fate upon the mercy of the House, where he could recite the merits of his career; Have you ever wondered why the Student the Representatives would be politically reluctant to cast him out of Association is always having financial difficulties? office.

On one hand the SA complains of a S 70,000 deficit from a previous request. and has trouble allocating funds for administration But the most far-reaching implications of the recent events lie in Mr. Dandes and his administration then Sub-Board I. the thorny Constitutional question they entail. Mr. Agnew, in his letter of the House, has taken his stand on the issue: "The Constitution bars a against a President or Vice criminal proceeding of any kind. President while he holds office. Accordingly, I cannot acquiesce in any criminal proceeding being lodged against me in Maryland or elsewhere." Legal and constitutional scholars disagree on this crucial question of whether an incumbent President or Vice President can be investigated or indicted before he is impeached or resigns from office. The matter will ultimately be decided in the courts, and soon; either by To the Editor. Attorney General Elliot Richardson if Mr. Agnew continues to resist It is somewhat strange (though not really the grand jury's investigation, or by the Supreme Court if Mr. Nixon surprising) that PIRG is asking (demanding?) to be refuses to hand over the Watergate tapes, even after a decision ordering funded by mahdatory student fees.

As orders and subpoenas. Monarchs are above the law; the Founding Fathers feared the unchecked tyranny of a king, and provided instead for a first citizen, without a royal title, subject to the same laws and regulations as everyone else.

Pernicious proposal The Spectrum editorial of the nineteenth stated: “Voluntary means the burden is on the organization to collect it, not on the students to demand a refund.” In any case, the question arises as to why PIRG, if it really is concerned about students’ free choice, does not rely on purely voluntary contributions rather than attempt to use the coercive power of student government. The answer that presents itself is that those in PIRG know that the awkvyard process of requesting a refund will result in them keeping more money compulsorily received than they could ever hope to get via voluntary means. Thomas Jefferson gave the answer to PIRG many years ago when he saiid; “To compel a man to furnish contributions of money for the propogation of opinions which he disbelieves is sinful and tyrannical.” Every UB student has the chance to against second that answer next week PIRG's pernicious proposal.

A second resolution was introduced from the floor which had the effect of ratifying the action already taken by President Ketter. 1 don’t remember its precise wording although it said something like the following; Pursuant to its charge under its bylaws, the Faculty-Senate herewith approves the establishment of a school of Health Education. (The exact wording will be in the minutes.) This resolution passed. My own comments on these resolutions are: a. The first resolution looks somewhat plaintive, innocuous and content-free. b. The second resolution turned a defacto situation into a de jure one. I don’t mind The Spectrum reports in which reporters make clear things they wish had happened. I do object when ‘hon-events’ are reported as ‘events’. (Particularly when I am present at the real ‘event’). - Jonathan D. Wexler Assistant Professor Computer Science Dept. �MX Lying with statistics To the Editor. In a recent The Spectrum article (Sept. 18, 1973), Paul Kade, SA National Affairs Coordinator, reports on a survey of trends in grading practices. The reader is informed that inquiries were mailed to over SO colleges and universities, and that of this total, ten responses were returned. Despite the fact that no information is available regarding the grading practices of 40, or four-fifths of all schools sampled, Mr. Kade asserts: “It is obvious from the responses that most of the schools are on the ABCDF system and also have the pass-fail option.” How Mr. Kade was able to move from the study findings to the conclusions he reports remains a mystery td this reader. This is particularly puzzling since reliable computation of mailed survey findings should be based on the total number of subjects surveyed, and not on the total number of responses received. On this basis, one can conclude only that of 50 colleges surveyed, a total of not more than nine reported the use of the ABCDF system and of , the pass-fail option. Dept, Helen Applebaum Assistant Professor of Occupational Therapy The Pete Hamill Column by Pete Hamill would live there the rest of his life. He couldn’t remember precisely when it started to go bad. He would clean the hedges in the front, and by morning there would be beercans and newspapers piled in the yard, left by people he never saw or heard. He and Janie came home one night, and found the window screen neatly sliced with a knife; a part of him knew that someone had tried to break in, and had been foiled by the storm windows, but he refused to let the night visions take him. “It was probably some kids fooling around,” he told Janie. “You know, daring each other, being bad.” But that night he couldn’t sleep. In the morning he had all the locks checked, and they never again slept with the downstairs windows open. A few months later, he saw a hole drilled through the storm window in the baby’s room. He looked closer and found a hunk of metal buried in the window frame. It was the lead of a bullet. The cops came, bored and indifferent, and wrote notes in a little book. “There’s nothin’ to do about it,” the head cop said. “It was probably someone foolin’ around in the park.” After that, he pulled all the blinds through the day, afraid of making a target, and Janie had thick drapes made for all the windows. He found the garbage bags sliced open one morning, the trash strewn across the sidewalk. A mailbox vanished rigjit off the front door. The gas lamp was smashed one summer weekend, toppled like a tree. And on another morning, in their second year at the house, he came out to find that his copper drainpipe, 30 feet high, had been ripped from the wall itself. 1973, New York Post In the sixth year of their marriage, Herb and Jaine Troubenstein bought the house in Brooklyn. Janie had grown up in Pennsylvania and had lived in houses most of her life. But Troubenstein was a New Yorker: old-law tenements on East Side, a lot of in a proud old pre-war apartment dreamy house on the Concourse, and the tiny place in the Village*^overflowing with books and prints and flowers, where they lived after they were married. He had become the first man in three generations of his family to own property. And it brought Troubenstein great joy. “It’s a great house,” he would say, sitting around the art department at the agency where he worked. “A terrific house, a beautiful, solid, loving woman of a house.” He wasn’t really bothered that first week, whenthe new trash cans vanished overnight. Instead, he blamed himself. “1 didn’t paint the address on them,” he told Janie, ‘it was my own fault. Someone could of thought they were left there by Token acceptance To the Editor. It seems Norman Salant felt obliged to extend his discussion of Art Garfunkel’s new album Angle Clare beyond a necessary review of the subject. Instead, it appeared that the theme in question was the homosexuality of Art Garfunkel and on a broader level homosexuality as a lifestyle. Firstly, an artist’s work should be judged solely on its own merit without criticism of the artist’s lifestyle. Secondly, the question of homosexuality should not be dealt with in the light-hearted and trivial manner of your article. The oppression of homosexuals by American society (even in these "liberated” times) is destructive and malevolent. Additional biased statements by The Spectrum are not necessary. Actually, the mere fact that the article was printed indicates a token acceptance of homosexual oppression. Robert Groth Meri Schaktman “And Slop Saying, ‘What Else Can Happen?”* mistake.” He started leaving the trash in large plastic bags, and concentrated on exploring the house. He found an old set of architect’s plans, dated 1912, and traced all the basic beams, caressing their exposed wooden surfaces in attic and cellar, exulting in their endurance and solidity. He located the old disconnected gas lines, and had the Brooklyn Union Gas Co. put a gas lamp in the front yard. On mild nights, he would climb through the attic to the roof, to gaze out over Prospect Park, or stare down the long slope to the harbor, and the glittering skylines beyond. More than anything else, he loved the sense of iron privacy the house provided, and its endless interior space. There were rooms for everything and everyone: a room for the baby, a room for guests, a room where Janie did her editing. He converted one small bedroom into a walk-in closet, and started planning a sauna bath for another old closet. An old bedroom became a library, with a bar, a TV set, and a wall of bookshelves, where he spent an entire week sorting the books, putting them in categories and alphabetical order. It was a house that encouraged intimacy and an extended sense of time; he hoped he • • � They spent Labor Day at a friend’s house, but all weekend, Troubenstein fought off a spiral of dread. They drive home that Monday in silence. He parked the car outside the silent house and asked Janie to wait for a while with the baby. She watched the lights go on, room by room,<and then there was a long pause, before Troubenstein came back out on the stoop, locking the door behind him. Tears streamed down his face, and his body was shaking from violation, invasion, and the finality of evil. He did nut describe the burglary. “It’s time to move,” he said, and they sat in silence, not looking at their mutilatied house. After a while, he put the car in gear, and started driving down the slope, going away.

You wave, mumble something about “seeing ya later,” and then go on to the next part of your scheduled life. You never think that you won’t see the person and why not?

Especially when you graduate from college, or move from one city to another, you say goodbye to friends with the intention of seeing each other again. Somehow you lose touch letters are too hard to write and the phone empties your not really aware of what pocket. You drift apart but all of a sudden there is no happened communication, no present, just nostalgic memories of the past when everything was just a little bit better than it really was.

Then you get a phone call from a good friend in a voice that onljf means bad news. “Barry, Did you hear about the attack in the Athens airport? Well, Hank was in the airport and he was hit. I don’t know how bad all I know is that he has shrapnel in g. his spinal cord and he might not walk again.” The phone suddenly feels really heavy and the party Mil mood that was floating in my head evaporates — Anti-Racist Teach-In? We in the PLP think the answer to both questions is that for all of us no matter what our race our lives and material well-being are directly at stake. Lester Maddox wants to speak here not merely to convince people that blacks should be “shot and stacked up like cordwood” (his actual orders to state troops when he was governor during the M.L. King Jr. funeral march); nor is he coming to make some “academic” point about black "“inferiority.” He wants to speak in order to provide a rallying point for racists. He wants to prove to other racists in hiding that it’s “OK to come out in the open," that even a blatant racist like himself can give public speeches at a “northern liberal campus” and get away with it even get public support like Gary J. Doby’s recent pro-segregation, pro-Maddox letter in The Spectrum. Like George Wallace, Maddox wants to encourage racists who secretly agree with him to be bold and more aggressive. That’s why he passed out ax handles in Georgia with great fanfare. He also wants to intimidate and demoralize blacks and all anti-racists by making us believe that we are a hopeless minority in the midst of racists. How many people in Nazi Germany really believed all the anti-semitic crap? Many, many influential people were Just scared to disagree and stand up for what they thought was right. “Maddox might be a dangerous racist, but he has a right to speak.” Right? WRONG! “Freedom of Speech” arguments ignore two facts of life about the real world; 1) political speech cannot be separated from political actions. Fascist, racist movements as in Biafra, Ireland, Pakistan/ Bangladesh (where racism killed millions) don’t spring up full blown overnight they’re organized mainly by written and spoken SPEECH. Maddox’s racist propaganda has been responsible for more harm to blacks in Georgia than his few personal ax handles ever could be; 2) the notion that ideas should compete in a kind of cloud nine “free market place of ideas” where the best ideas will win out totally ignores the fact that, in reality, racist and anti-working class ideas don’t - - - - compete “freely” or on an “equal footing” with anti-racist ideas. These ideas don’t exist in a vacuum. They represent the organizing efforts of antagonistic classes made up of flesh and blood people who fight for their interests be they “right” or “wrong.” Was Hitler stopped by a winning, persuasive argument, or by a massive movement that deprived him of every freedom? Racist ideas have big money, government grants, foundations, TV and radio, publishing firms and university administrations behind them. The notion of depriving some people of free speech is not really so “far out.” Everyone agrees you can’t yell “fire” in a theater. Most people agree that slander and libel of innocent people should be prohibited. Its even illegal today. But Maddox and company are slandering not only an individual, but an entire race. And the “damage” (to use the legal jargon) is human misery beyond estimate. Why should racists be given more freedom than a two-bit slanderer? Some people want to be neutral. They argue “who are you to decide who shouldn’t speak?” Well, who is Mr. Burrick to decide that Lester Maddox SHOULD speak (and get SI500 of our money to boot)? In the real world (which we don’t like any more than you do, but it’s the one we live in till we change it), the rich use their freedom to live and speak without fear and to have a comfortable, enjoyable life. Anyone who passively allows racists like Maddox to organize is not being neutral, no they’re just helping matter what he or she thinks the racists to organize. Wallace, Maddox, Rocky, Nixon these guys don’t need our active support. They just want us to be tolerant of them; they’ll get enough goons and bigots to do the rest. It’s a funny kind of “neutrality" to sit back and allow Lester-shoot-em-and-stack-em-up-likecordwood-Maddox to come recruit on campus, and then pay him $2500, no less. Some people sincerely fear that “if we stop racists from speaking, then they'll stop us too.” But what little “free speech” we have today was won by fighting for it, not begging for it. If we let the Lester Maddox’s organize in this country, we’ll have no more freedom of ANYTHING than the Germans under Hitler. - - - - - - - - - {1 1 OdaA Charles Reitz John Spritzler Sylvia Dick textbooks, William Faulkner, etc.) without a for real struggle against the material basis of racism in capitalist society. Thus PL calls on the University to fire racist professors instead of attacking the roots of racism by linking the struggle against racial oppression to the struggle for socialism. The RCY consistently fights racism on the basis of class struggle politics which maintain the independence of the workers movement from, bourgeois institutions. We seek to build a revolutionary movement of students and youth, linked to the struggles of the working class, which fights among for things, other worker-student-teacher control of the University, including control of hiring and firing, with an open admissions policy made economically meaningful by providing all students with a stipend. >;■' PL’s opportunist adaptation to the student government betrays their lack of confidence in the ability of the masses of workers and students to be mobilized on such a program which points to socialist revolution as the only .road to black liberation. concrete The recent exchange of letters in The Spectrum on the Progressive Labor Party’s response to the projected appearance at UB of Georgia’s racist Lieutenant-Governor Lester Maddox again demonstrates the bankruptcy of liberalism, either PL’s or the Student Association’s, to fight racism on campus. In keeping with its rightward plunge, PL seeks a bloc with liberals on the SA (and the not-so-liberal Jonathan Dandes) by calling on the SA to cancel Maddox's speaking engagement. Certainly Maddox is a racist who deserves no public forum. But the way to fight Maddox is not by giving the SA the right to decide which speakers get banned from the campus. In their rush to line up with the liberals, PL forgets that this creates illusions in the ability of bourgeois institutions to fight racism as well as providing those institutions with an invitation to bar leftist speakers in the future on the grounds of phony “impartiality.” PL fights racism by allying with liberals on the program of liberalism, i.e., pious denunciations of racism as an ideology (campaign against racist ideas, program Billy Bolter Revolutionary Communist Youth Slow down through To the Editor. I write with reference to the brief article in Wednesday’s The Spectrum which exposed the speeding traps operated by the Buffalo Police Department, From reading the article, I got the impression that its author unquestionably felt that he (or she) was performing a public service. 1, like the author, don’t wish people “harrowing experiences” or that they be in the “unfortunate circumstance” of getting a ticket; yet I don’t believe that a public service has been performed by an article which functions to help speeders in their speeding. (f drivers want to avoid getting speeding tickets, thin I suggest that they slow down and take into consideration pedestrians, cyclists and the other people who live in the neighborhoods they drive I live in a neighborhood which has little quiet because of the constant roar of speeding cars. Dogs and cats are regularly hit and people have been injured by speeders just passing through. We have a neighborhood Block Club, which to ensure the safety and well-being of people on the block is seeking assistance from the police and traffic departments in the form of a speeding trap and traffic signal respectively. Rather than disarm efforts designed to reduce speeding, the public interest would have been better served if the University community was reminded that automobiles are potentially lethal devices and that the costs of speeding or any 'driving for that matter burden more than just the driver. - - - - Walter Simpson A Page eight.

Immediately I run for the paper that I had so carelessly discarded and try to find that article which 3 -3 0 Liberal bankruptcy To the Editor: - • - Progressive Labor Party - described that senseless attack. I remembered that every New York Times article covering a disaster always has a list of the dead and injured from the New York City area. The article is found and the list is discovered anew what was skimmed before is devoured now, and on the list of injured is the name of Henry Leppo. It couldn’t be my friend his name was Hank, not Henry. Y ou read the list three times just to make sure that is not some horrible mistake maybe the name will disappear if you just read the list enough times. The shock hits you we pledged together five years ago poor Hank, he was the only pledge with a car and he usually wound up picking up his pledgemates in some God-forsaken place at three in the morning. I had my first non-dorm meal in Buffalo over at Hank’s house of course at the same time getting lightly drunk while watching the New York Giants play the Minnesota Vikings on television. Of course the Giants lost and all of the New York fellows went home in a blue funk despite the excellent steak. Hank somehow made it through pledging I’m still not sure how, but when initiation time came around we were as tight as brothers and hoping to keep it that way. Despite the anachronism of fraternity life, it did serve a purpose in bringing scared and lonely people together, and then subjecting them, to similar pressures and problems. It bound us together, made us one, made us communicate. That pledging period was a peak for we could only go downhill in terms of our close feelings towards each other. As fraternities declined and as our lives became more fragmented due to the Buffalo syndrome of isolated apartments and no car, we saw each other less and less and each time we had less to say. Sure, we played football together, went to parties together, and sometimes just did nothing together. After a while we had separate lives, separate worlds yet the memories of our past experiences was a bond that nothing could break. Hank graduated and attempted to get into law school but playful Hank who would rather party just didn’t have the grades and couldn’t get in. But Hank wasn't the type of guy to quit, so whenever I saw Hank, which was infrequently, !' always asked him if he had gotten into law school. I finally heard that he made a law school, but couldn’t hack it and left after a semester. Our contact became loss and less frequent. It had become a tri-cornered relationship with a mutual friend acting as a clearinghouse through which we passed information. The last time I saw Hank was about a year ago in Norton Hall I noticed him standing on a line waiting to get into a movie. He had come up, to visit some friends and it was just by accident that our paths crossed. Hank died this week to his friends in Buffalo it was an unexpected announcement because we thought he was getting better. I know people die all the time I know that Hank’s death was just one more in a long series of senseless tragedies. 1 know that our country in the last decade has brought death to many Asian and American homes. Yet he was a friend of mine. The last time we saw each other we exchanged meaningless pleasantries and then I said, “Sec ya later,” How else do you say goodbye to a friend? — — - - — - i - - - — — - — — — & �' m in every piece, doesn't quite fit.

That's the way it was, Wednesday night, September 19. David Crosby would talk to the corwd, giggle for no particular reason, and then play. Appearing without a back-up group, Crosby's mellow voice filled every cubic inch of Century Theater. Generating a great deal of emotion, both in his guitar playing and his singing, David repeatedly received thunderous applause after each song. A lot better with band As for me, I didn't applaud. No. not because he was dragging my head down with his music, but beacuse I couldn't help forgetting his essential and influential role with the old Byrds and Stills, Nash and Young thing. Sure he's an exceptional guitarist and singer, but he works a hell of a lot better with a band. Steve Stills is like that, too. Stills will never make it alone and he knows it. He's strictly a team man and works better in that format. When he played "Almost Cut My Hair," I couldn't help feeling how lacking it was without that electric sound. The heavy electric lead, the bass and the drums were undeservingly absent. Crosby did "Wooden Ships" quite well as his quality-controlled voice ascended and decended at will. Yet I couldn't help considering if it was the song as much as the singer which gave it that air of quality. David did perform 'Triad," from Four Way Street," in great style.

"Guinevere," a difficult song to play live, was performed in a floating melodious fashion. I could feel, once again, the different emotions emanating from the stage. He's very good at expressing his feelings and getting them across to an audience. His deep sensitivity, for different ideas, was manifested beautifully throughout his performance. "Here’s a song written by my all-time favorite writer," and he immediately went into "For Free," a Joni Mitchell tune from the Ladies of the Canyon Ip. The spontaneous, giggly, lion-faced Crosby also did songs from his only solo album, If / Could Only Remember My Name, which proved to be dull and 1 spiritless. He's got so much talent that he doesn't really know what to do with it. John David Souther, a friend of Jackson Brown's opened the show with a disappointingly short set. I say disappointingly short because of his tremendous abilitiy. He performed, by himself, a number of realty good country folk-blues ballads in an original and distinct style. His lyrics were tangible and his melodies were light and moving. Souther sang quite well as his powerful, full voice held the impatient audience's attention. He played a few songs from his only album along with a few new tunes. John David Souther is one of the best up-and-coming artists that I've seen in the last two years.

Page-eleven �» S/ee concert Quartet provides an excellent rendition Monday night the second concert in the Slee series of Beethoven's string quartets was given in Baird Hall by the Cleveland Quartet. They performed the Harp Quartet, No. 19, Op. 74, in E-flat major,'the Quartet No. 2, Op. 18 No. 2, in G major, and the Quartet No. 1 4, Op. 131, in C-sharp minor. These three quartets represent Beethoven's middle, early, and late periods of composition, respectively. Contrasting styles in these periods allow for a well-rounded program that does not become tedious. Indeed, it is this contrast which enables each presentation of the six concert series to sound fresh. Performed first was Quarted No. 19, whose nickname, the Harp, comes from the abundance of pizzicato in the first movement. It begins with a slow introduction which is thematically related to the adjoining allegro. In this allegro, the pizzicato theme is passed around the quartet, gaining momentum as it goes. The second movement, an adagio, is a theme and variations, very romantic in nature. Its texture is dense; a foreshadowing of the Brahms quartets to come years later (which the Cleveland Quartet has recorded on RCA). Who's on third? Third is a scherzo, whose motival theme is the familiar three-shorts-and-a-long from Beethoven's Fifth Symphony, written at about the same time. Even the sequencing pattern is similar to that of the allegro of the Fifth, although in the quartet the motive is much more rapid. Another theme and variations formed the last movement, this time in a more classical style. Throughout this work, as well as the rest of the concert, the Cleveland Quartet displayed the kind of musicianship and unity which makes you think that they've been playing together forever. Not only do they know their music, they know each other. The second work on the program was the Quartet No. 2, written when Beethoven was about thirty years old. Its elegant but lighthearted outer movements make it a logical successor to the quartets of Haydn and Mozart. More daring is the interruption of the slow movement with an allegro section. Grand finale Closing the concert was the C-$harp minor Quartet, No. 14, a work which Beethoven considered his finest achievement. A mamoth work, it consists of seven movements played without interruption, making it very clemanding on the performers. The Cleveland Quartet proved themselves up to it in a thrilling performance that brought a good portion of the audience to its feet. Their entries in the fugal first movement were clear and the cantabile fourth movement simply sang. An organic thread which runs through this work and takes on a different meed or color each time it surfaces. The fifth movement of this piece is a fine example of Beethoven's sense of humor. It begins with a loud burst by the cello alone which makes it seem that the cello started too early. The whole movement is a series of reiterations and child-like tunes that race along merrily. Cellist Paul Katz said that the endless repetition in this movement reminds him of the children's joke about Pete and Repeat sitting on the fence. That's the kink of spirit that this movement has. But the climax came with the finale a galloping, forceful statement by the ageing Beethoven. The Cleveland Quartet was very sharp on the attack and brought out the full power of this movement. They were called back to the stage several times by the applause which they had surely earned. 'Visions of Eight'; a portrayal of the Twentieth Olympiad by Randi Schnur Spectrum Film Critic - marathon runners, and others, probably including each shot of every contestant in the entire film, examine an involvement which sometimes seems to border on the insane. Asked to comment on the murders of the eleven Israelis slain in the Olympic Village, a runner photographed by Schlesinger changes the subject with the remark that "I'm here for one thing, and that's to run a marathon," Another major preoccupation of most of the eight was with the reactions of the losers. When an athlete knew he had done well, he simply waved to the audience and smiled; those who had failed, on the other hand, fell over, stomped off the field, cried, smiled bravely, stared stonily ahead of them, and showed a thousand other expressions of resignation or disgust. French director Claude Lelouch devoted his whole portion of the film to The Losers, and some of his longer sequences show the really heartbreaking pain of athletes whose entire lifetimes have been leading up to this one tragic defeat. Behind Visions of Eight is a very exciting idea: eight international directors gathered at the 1972 Olympic Games in Munich to record their personal impressions of the proceedings. Unfortunately, several of the visions and the techniques used to Ken Licata -describe them turned out to be annoyingly simitar. A film made in this manner is necessarily somewhat uneven, and, while some segments were uninspired, the good parts were absolutely beautiful. A short introductory remark by the director, sort of a statement of purpose, opens each segment.

Last scene: in bed, of course the Oemeure Wife in skimpy silk nightshirt, and Husband with "tentpole in tunic." Perhaps it is harsh to say this program is entirely poor; however, it is entirely trite. For that reason, though some of the comic scenes are good, they are certainly not good enough to redeem the rest of the program. Adam’s Rib does make its points, but one must examine both the nature of these points and how they are presented. This particular program is obviously trying to make a statement about women's plight in today's world, but the issues chosen (at least in this episode) are very passe. The characters are annoyingly stereotypical. All in all, it is but another example of the Establishment (excuse the expression) adapting and commercializing a controversial topic, ingesting it, and spewing forth a very mangled but sufficiently mild — Adam's ftib, a new television series on ABC, is a romantic comedy based on the Hepburn—Tracy classic of yesteryear; revised and ruined. The theme: tvyo lawyers who are vehement standard-bearers in the courtroom, and earnest spouses in the bedroom. Very cute. This week's episode was entitled Two Pairs ofPants. It began with the young couple arriving at Chez Pierre's, a very "swanky" restaurant, where they are refused service on the grounds that Blythe Danner (the wife) is "indecently dressed" (i.e., wearing forgive the Misguided Woman pants!). She proceeds to argue, but decides to invoke her husband (Ken Howard) to share in her disgruntlement and present him with the priviledge of having "the last word." (That's liberation.) The maitre d', however, wins his case with a threat to call the police. This is unfortunate for both the couple (after all, they were hungry) and us, for the program, at thispoint, begins. - - product. —Shelley Grossberg Slacks-plot slack On finding an alternative place to dine, a roadside stand somewhere in video-land, Danner small screen insists on discussing the issue of women wearing pants. She asks the eternal question "Why?" Her husband uses every chliche the cript writer could muster to answer her Women should show their legs, women are made to be looked at, — etc. ' Skirting the issue Oh-so-predictably, an emergency arises and The Boss is compelled to burst in while Howard is "in the height of fashion." With a few bumbling explanations from both NBC Follies (NBS folly) . Of course, here, two "chicks" enter with read-end-low skirts, which inevitably compels Howard to ogle. But Danner, being the "open-minded," "far-out" Wife, is not insulted by his gesture. She does, however, make an intelligent statement regarding dress: Women wearing men's clothes are considered "chic," but men wearing women's clothes are arrested. The action then moves to the following day; Danner is at her office, still thinking about pants, and sounding out her (female) secretary on the matter. After some initial stillness, Danner receives "divine inspiration" for an educational experience to convince "hubby" that skirts are a curses to all who wear them. Danner goes to her husband's office and attempts to convince him to wear a new dress she has bought him. She has carried through her side of the bargain by wearing men's clothes, and feel he shouls do the same. Finally, Howard submits, gives express orders to his staff that he must not be disturbed, and tries on the "new him." puptll). First it was Jerry Lewis. Then it was Don Rickies. Now they're doing it to Sammy Davis Jr. Most of you will agree that the writers, producers, and directors are the backbone of any successful TV venture. Take a great singer like Sammy Davis Jr., give him a lousy script and show format and what have you got: instant disaster! NBC Follies, which can be seen weekly at 10:00 p.m. Thursday nights, is just that. Mickey Rooney co-stars with Davis in this hourly variety. The show is a pot-poUrri of just about everything; from singing to comedy to dancing to circus acts styled after a gala Las Vegas night club act, complete iwth dancing girls. Sammy's singing comprises the only good spots on the show, since that is what has made him the great entertainer he is. But Sammy is hardly given a chance to sing. The hour is mostly abused by poorly-written, childish, comedy sketches, special guest stars doing dubbed-in songs, and extravagant dancing routines which, at the most, are extremely boring. Comically, the show should be much better; those silly, time-consuming dance numbers should be mercifully killed, and the number of songs done by Sammy Davis should be increased. He has a great talent, why not use it to its f&llest? But writers, producers, and directors are a very stubborn lot and usually don't change their original ideas. I can't possibly see this show lasting more than half a season, if it lasts that long at all. It's just one lengthy hour of total boredom recommended to no one but people who find some remote pleasure in being bored. As I watched NBC Follies last Thursday night, I constantly found myself gazing up at the dock, waiting in great anticipation of something a little more heartening and entertaining like the 11 O'clock news. Too bad about Sammy Davis Jr. It's such a waste of a great talent. _ ... —Howie Ruben Calucci's Department (Unemployment) Danner and Howard (finally settling on outfits for costume party), Howard shifts gears, becomes The Lawyer, and strides out of his office with the intention of commanding his staff and getting things done. They are naturally taken aback and find ti hard to regard his orders very seriously. The show finally ends with Howard's concession that pants are better. The couple decide to try Chez Pierre once again; Danner is to meet Howard at the restuarant. She comes to the door, again in pants. As the maitre d' comes over to turn her out, she does a wonderful strip-tea$e, removing her pants. She struts through the restaurant with >V ( *. *v> *’v». Ti# business every Friday at 8:00. Calucci is played by James Coco, the type of actor who you know you've seen, but cannot place where. He is involved in a show where the dialogue is obvious, and the attempt to bring in social relevancy and poke fun at sacred cows is so phony that it actually is painful to experience. The plot itself is simple: Ramon (Jose Perez), a Puetro Rican, finds himself in heavy debt due to betting the horses (a member of a minority with a vice!) He asked his pal, supervisor Joe Calucci, to lend him the cash to pay off the debt. The ensuing debate on what is good living includes such memorable tines as; (Coco) "A thrilljs buying your own linoleum, being friends with the butcher" and (Perez) "I've had a different girl every night since I was twelve, and it was worth every cent they spent on me." From here Calucci decides to meet El Elephante, the Puetro Rican muscleman coercer, for Ramon. What results is little more than a moral lesson on the value of friendship, as Ramon shows up and each man sticks his neck out for the other and gets the stuffing knocked out of him. Even this "touching" lesson that a friend is worth fighting for does not work, as Coco rolls his eyes and the audience lets out embarassed giggles as Ramon tells his friend that he loves him for all that he had done. That is what is called getting a cheap laugh. Gay lib, high prices, gambling, sex, minorities; and of course unemployment were all weaved in at one time or another. And yet, this attempt at relevant comedy mixed with the same tireless plots of past sit-coms never really comes off. The plot is thin, the dialogue is predictable, and the humor is aimed at the adolescent level. This is not to say that Calucci's Department is the worst show ever seen, but even the station identification was more original (I mean, who ever sees a big eye in the sky with letters on its 7.5 The New Perry Meson (Hem Burger) You've got to hand/it the CBS Any station that dubs a new series The New Perry Mason and puts it opposite Walt Disney's Wonderful World of Color has got to have some mighty high hopes and a lot of chutzpah. The title by itself brings to mind clear images, even to people who never saw the original series. So, last Sunday at 7:30,1 chose to miss Funny Girl for the fourth time and watch instead an unsatisfying shadow of a series that once was. Besides the fact that all the old Earl Gardner characters are back, in name at least, and each episode is entitled "The Case Of The ..and D.A. Burger (played well by Harry Guardino) never wins a case, this new show hardly resembles the old one. Young Monte Markam plays a rather unconvincing Mason. The trusting father image of defending lawyers, as set by both Raymond Burr and Carl Betz, is junked here as we see Markam jump from the race track to high society parties that feature fashion shows, back to his plush furnished office, complete with an attractive blonde secretary. This doesn't sound like the old team of Perry Mason and Della Street to me. Who would ever dream of making either Barbara Hale or Burr sex objects? The bags under Markham's eyes are probably due more to hang-overs than to burning the midnight electricity looking for case loopholes. In the courtroom, he really blows it. This Perry doesn't have either the ability to make a strong, emotional "Clinton JJudd"-type plea, or the cool subtle confidence of a "Colombo" which would make the greatest of criminal masterminds realize they have met their match and confess to almost anything. However, these professional baddies do break down, and it all looks phony. So far the situations Mason finds himself in appear "Find me some contemporary situation comedy based on today’s real problems in believebale settings," cried the network brass. Riding this wave of "get with it" sentiment, a couple by the name of Renee Taylor and Joe Bologna came out with the idea of following the adventures of the inhabitants of a state employment office, headed by a lovable supervisor. This novel idea of setting a sit com in an institution which admits social trouble gained attention, and along with executive producer Bob Precht, Taylor and Bologna pulled the wool over CBS's lone logo eye, slapped the title of Ca/uccrs Department on their product, and are in i —Tom Lansing equally as forced. In one episode, he is both the key witness for the prosecution and the defending lawyer. How does he pull this off? Simple, he is put on the stand and after being questioned by the D.A., he begins to cross-examine himself taking the opportunity to draw some assumed conclusions. The judge has enough sense of justice to stop the transformation of courtroom to circus. It's all very sticky and need much work. Still, even if the scripts turn towards courtroom drama and away from the "Perils of Perry" situations, Walt has nothing to worry about. —Irv Wiener Friday, 28 September 1975x1116 Spectrum Page thirteen . ■» �Let's Get It On Marvin Gaya (Tamla) Let's Get It On is as reasonable and worthwhile a proposition as any of us are likely to receive this year. Stop for a minute and think about it. The legendary Buffalo winter is a few short weeks away. Soon enough we'll each be swaddled in Air Force parkas in any of the two available colors, marching stiffly from refuge to refuge. We’ll run compulsively to any cultural events that present themselves. For instance: An opportunity to relive those glorious seventies (gag) with the Dead in the indimace of our own hockey palace (suffering nuremburgst), or to be totally freaked and confused by Mott, and the lovely and talentless New York Dolls (glittering butterballsl). To this desperate situation it can only be added that members of the Allman Brothers Band continue to smash up all their motorcycles, not recently resulting in death, yet it all seems a shame to waste even a near-miss on anyone with talent and vision, given the wealth of worthier targets. So, it's like the man on the radio says, the summer's over, the days are getting shorter, the nights are getting longer and students across the land are wondering how and where to spend those nights-. The bar scene sucks and even Billy Altman got bored with Colombo. Marvin, you see, has an idea. It's like one of those dippy LSD exploitation records of the fabulous sixties which had listening instructions tike "to be listened to in the dark" or even "for added effect like this spot." He wants us to put on this album, stay home and make love. You find another consenting adult, create a mellow atmoshphere, some food or wine, and by side two you should be making whoopee. I am pleased to report that it works pretty well indeed, people find themselves in very mellow and responsive moods. Marvin has put some sparse and simple liner notes on the inside cover explaining his attitudes about love and sex and all the rest. Right before a realty inappropriate quote of T.S. Eliot's, something about copulation and death r~ T.S., we all know, was not much Gaye writes: "I hope the of a fucker music that I present here makes you lucky." He's too modest, this perfectly beautiful album provides a really erotic atmosphere. For one think the Gaye-Ed Townsend production is remarkably restrained and controlled. They hold the production down to a level which is not flashy or pretentious, but absolutely full and economical. Throughout both sides the music is cohesively solid, stressing stamina over novelty. Do you get the message? All of side one is essentially a working out of the title track, which we all know by now due to all the airplay it's getting as a single. The opening and closing tracks are "Let's Get It On" and "Keep Gettin' It On" respectively. They are used to frame two of the most moving cuts on the album, "Please Don’t Stay (Once You Go Away),'* - paradoxically titled since the song's really r* about his fear of his lover leaving, and "If I Should Die Tonight," both containing some of the most sensual lyrics on the album, ostensibly due to Townsend's co-authorship. Side two is all Marvin's. The arrangenrients, performed by the way by The Jazz Crusaders, are looser here but again the production manages to keep it 'nice and moody. The favorite pick of the a Ftiday,i RECORDS text single is the one least likely to get .irplay. I personally would love to see Dick Clark, who smilingly assimilated everything from Little Richard to the Barbarians, announce some Saturday afternoon Marvin Gaye's new hit "Baby You Sure Love To Ball." It's too bad because it's a brilliantly funky piece. This is a delightful album to experience: from the title cut to the melancholy closing track "Just To Keep You Satisfied." It's an album to listen to with someone else, no headset bullshit, let it fill the room. Who knows? You might both get lucky.

That's what it must be. Oh, it's all very clear now. Only a blind man couldn't see it. You do see it, don't you? Sun Ra is having a SPACE ORGASM. For life. And the music is his mode of expressing all the beauty inherent therein. Question: What is going on with this music? Intellectually, it is clear that something is strangely unique. The theory, the chords, the harmonies, it all sounds strange but since I don't know anything about that, it just sounds funny. But it's right. ATid it sounds like outer space. Being an earthman, I have a hard time relating to it, thinking along purely earthward lines. For example, I sometimes imaging John Coltrane, or for that matter, Mahatma Ghandi, singing Rocket number nine take off for the planet, to the planet, Venus! Zoom, zoom, zoom, up in the air! Zoom, zoom, zoom, up in the air! Or something like that. But that, too, gets boring, being purely along earthward lines, so we go back to side one, and memories of the gold lamee dancers come rushing back, along with Ra's own Space Crown.

Van Leer Senior, however, was not very happy to see a possible Mozart gradually becoming a probable Billy Evans. Being an extraordinary flutist himself, he started to teach young Thijs the intricacies of this old and difficult instrument. Thijs met up with Willem Duys, his manager, which resulted in a single nobody took notice of. In the late 1960's he helped form a Dutch rock group called Brainbox. Here he met Jan Akkerman, a tremendous lead guitarist in his own right. Brainbox was mildly successful and helped put Van Leer on the map. From here Thijs and Akkerman formed Focus and became internationally famous on the merits of Hocus Pocus and a couple of good solid albums. The group has accumulated prizes in festivals all over Europe, as well as the 1971 Edison Award, and has received an abundance of praise from certain music critics. Introspection, an appropriate title I may add, goes back to J.S. Bach on two cuts dtled "Erbane Dich" and "Agnus Dei." On "Erbane Dich," Van Leer's mellow flute is playing in the foreground and is supported by a harpsichord and violins in the background. Letty De Jong also contributes by singing the melody (no lyrics are involved) in combination with Thijs' flute. The cut is moving as different light melodies follow one another in perfect coordination. "Focus Two" is also on album. The cut originally appeared on Moving Waves, the first Focus Ip. Now Van Leer has removed Akkerman's heavy guitar lead and has made it more classical in nature by adding strings in the background. Van Leer has integrated classical music into his style in such a way that it treads on sophisticated pop music. Ron Hunter has used the cut, interestingly enough, on his newscast a number of times. "Pavane, Op. 50" is another good instrumental on the album. It's also very classical in style. You can hear the violins, oboes and horns in the background. Van Leer's flute is up front, but not for the entire time. Sometimes the percussion section will come in with soft taps on the bells. This cut is very peaceful, like a slow love ballad. It makes you feel content and relaxed, as do many of the other cuts. "Rondo" is a quick tune that features a pair of clarinets every now and then. Thijs trades off flute leads with the clarinets. "Rondo" sounds much like a marching tune,, but not quite as rhythmically heavy. Introspection is a fine Ip. It shows Van Leer's classical training, proves his ability as a flute player and demonstrates his remarkable sense of style and form. The question now is, in which direction will he go? Does he now consider Focus as part of ' his past? / Yeah, Space is the place (alright) Outer space is a pleasant place (rrimm mmm mmm) Space is the place fya ya ya) Owder Space Owder Space (don't you know) is a pleasant place (don’t you know?). And there is a reason after all. And that is: What the hell do you think you're doing here? (prisoners of gravity). Norman Salant Introspection Thijs Van Laer (Columbia) Thijs Van Leer has come a long way musically and has finally matured into a respected composer and performer. Introspection, his first solo effort, has separated him from the sound of Focus, idealistically as well as musically. Thijs plays only flute, with heavy classical intonations, on the album, only receiving help from the beautiful voice pf Letty De Jong and orchestra in the background. Doesn't sound a bit like Hocus Pocus, does it? At the young age of three. Van Leer began playing the piano seriously. When he was thirteen, he became interested in jazz Sheldon Kamieniecki Over-nite Sensation The Mothers (Discreet) I woke up one morning 'cause Zappa was pissing in my face to show me how middle-class my values were, so I started stroking his leg to show him how scared he was of being gay and he kept pissing in my face to show me that he didn't care that he was scared of being gay even though he got hard and insisted on denying he was and kept on pissing to prove it. Zappa was always so obvious you just had'to love him. in fourth grade he'd bring a fishbowl to class the days the tests were given and fill it with little pieces of paper, each with a different number on it. Then Frank would reach in like it was bingo night at the Armory and whatever, number he'd pick would become an answer on his test sheet. And that little mother passed every test, even the English compositions. Later on Frank told me it was 'cause he’d feel the teacher up after school each day, and she was. so old and caked with talcum powder that nobody else in the fourth A �grad* would even take a blowjob from her. I tell ya. ya just gotta admire that kind of determination. Frank formed his first group by taking all his friends who had no musical talent into his basement and teaching them all to play. Listen to Freak Out and you'll hear how desperate Frank was to become a leader. It took years till he could blackmail good musicians to be in his band he still keeps Jean Luc Ponty's passport locked in a safe deposit box somewhere in Rhode Island where nobody understands French. Frank was always a visionary. Years ago he was exposing the hippie movement when he saw there was no money in it for him. He encouraged Beefheart to show up for auditions at high school G.O. dances in - but a rabid barn owl pecking at your eardrums till all you hear Is your blood rushing up your nostrils, spilling, rising, red, dark, cream, in, sight, not, sigh, no, oh, ah, a a a a music's my life." Most of the time Frank likes to sing about sex, which makes a lot more sense than singing about love, whatever that is the man ain't got no culture, but it's alright ma .., he does have a sense of the symbolic allusion, like when he sings, "We did it till we were un-concho." There's even a blank word as if Suzy Creamcheese actually, it's just censored a lewd phrase that Frank thinks women are sexier with their clothes on and he and I never did like ... .. — to give everything away anyhow. JeffBenson Brothers and Sisters The Allman Brothers Band (Capricorn) Igor was sitting on the floor in the corner, legs crossed Indian style, head failed forward with eyes closed, hands drumming the empty air about his lap in spastic motions, bubbles of saliva steadily oozing and popping with a bum-bum-bum apparency, he was grooving on Duane Allman. No one paid him much attention after all, Duane Allman was dead. They were busy playing cards on the table, the lights were dim and it was late. The faint red glow of the power switch hovered ominously on their faces like a surreptitious religious rite, The stereo god was maintaining the atmosphere of Brothers and Sisters on a tape loop and it was having its cumulative effect. An effervescent placidity evolved, faces plainly relaxed, shallow, slightly drawn, eyes low and expressionless, mouths silent and invisible it was a tough game and soom it - 1963 with hair down to the mole in the small of his back and scream Safe as Milk just so Beefheart would remain unemployed and ease the competition. On the Freak Out album Frank had the insight to list Eric Dolphy as an influence. This immediately brought him to the attention of the editors of Downbeat magazine who needed a white performer to idolize and keep the magazine's circulation up. With all the awards they've given him he's been able to melt down a sizeable abount of amtter and press his latest album, Over-nite Sensation. With Ruth Underwood in the group, Frank has let his sexuality really blossom. I saw them perform last May in Rochester and Frank's antics on stage had Ruth's husband Ian furiously jealous apparently Frank has been paying no attention to Ian lately, or any other male member of the band. They all got their pictures printed on the inside cover, though: Ponty posed with his violin lest we forget, George Duke looks like he swallowed his moog which might explain its absence, Sal Marquez seems to have been confused with the engineers, and we all know who Ruth Underwool is really smiling at. "Montana" is the longest song on the album 'cause it has the most lyrics and Frank does his Rex Harrison imitation, which is nothing like when he sang it last May in Rochester and shouted in the middle: "How do you like that, gurooooo?" because John McLaughlin played before him. Frank told me he hoped to get on the Julie Andrews show unfortunately the doing that imitation show was cancelled a few days after they filmed the segment with Frank, so he wrote a song about TV for the album and hired a few soul singers with megaphones and laryingitis to wail away on the choruses and you know Frank still has to have something to get the girls excited by singing about dentpl floss. When I asked Frank about the music on the album he said: "It's sex that really gets my potatoes to open their eyes it can be a punch to the gut going uphill in a blinding rain, tearing the goggles and tying your shoelaces together so you go spinning and falling while a monk with brass knuckles exposes your innards to the heat of a slimy tongue coming in from the snow, pressing and pushing raw bone against a short-circuited nerve so your cries from the needle point slicing your belly become balloons in your throat, bursting y apart your epiglotis, leaving your lungs victim , to the misdirected alcohol and vinegar crusting upon you lips, scaring all — — claimed its first victim. "Well podners, ah'm droppin out." "How come?" "Ah'm outa gold is how come. 'N ah'm feelin' kine-o-weary besides. Night y'atl." "Night Bo." "Night Bo." "Night Bp." And went on with the game. Bo, effervescency placid, face relaxed, shallow, and slightfy drawn, watched them. Then someone noticed him. "Hey Bo, ah thote yo was splittin. How come yo still here?" "Don't rightly know. Jes' cain't move." "Cain't move? Watcho talkin 'bout, Bo? 'Course y'can move." Bo didn’t reply, just shrugged his shoulders and blinked slowly. "Watcho mean, yo cain't move?! Bo, ah'm talkin t'yo." "GODDAM ah cain't move, like ah said befo'. Ah don't know why. ah jes' cain't." "Weeelltl, if yo wants to set tthere so bad, yo go right ahead. We won't mind. will we fellas?" So they went on with their game, paying Bo no mind at he drifted off into paranoid and egotistical thoughts, and it all would have been forgotten except that it was a very tough game. Jon stood up, leaning heavily on the table. 'That's all for me. Cleaned out. Night y'all." So Ace gathered up the cards nonchalantly and then, veiy unsuddenly, they too discovered they couldn't move. There was no explanation. They just couldn't move. It was really very strange. They not only couldn't move, they didn't want to. They were completely drained of all energy, totally sapped, and they could feel their eyes trying to roll up. Then thoughts began coming, thoughts about everything in general and nothing in particular. JOn wondered what had become of the tradition of female admirers and in the next instant was thinking about his parents. Ace was recreating his eleventh birthday at the same time as he was trying to figure out why he couldn't stand up. Freddie thought of conversion of color to bleak and white, and Bo, who had been there and back a dozen times already since he had a bit of a head start, was getting warmer when he flashed on how many times he fell asleep listening to those Fleetwood Mac records he stole from the library. Gradually the realization grew that the Allman Brothers were still on, and he began to listen more closely. And listening to the Allman Brothers made his lack of movement and energy complete somehow. He flashed again on decadence and Fleetwood Mac, and for a moment thought he had the answer but it didn't fit, it was something else, something that made him sad and empty. No, decadence was not the answer, the Allman Brothers were anything but decadent, but what then?- He drifted off to visualize gears and pistons, gray steam, but was brought back when his eyes felt on Ace's right hand, which held the deck. At that moment Ace passed out all the cards fell on the floor, and revealed their secret to Bo. The deck was stripped. He saw it. He saw and he knew. The last thing he heard was Igor, who also know, laughing vindictively in the corner. ability to bearhug and frisk an opposing leader at the same time. His downfall began when he met Castro at the Moscow airport with a warm bearhug, while frisking him with the right hand and clumsily stealing two Havana cigars with his left." "The massive anti-war demonstrations of the sixties prompted the FBI to reconsider and accept Hoover's original handshake idea, not as a security technique but to allow agents to indentify each other. The Black Panthers, who were very hip to the FBI in those days, all started using the handshake as a confusing tactic and eventually a whole generation received a government paycheck, due to a computer error." increasingly "The FBI becam frustrated in their attempts to infiltrate large demonstrations. As the age of giant rock concerts began, they knew they needed a daring concept. What emerged was the travelling agent band, performing FBI agents who could control a huge audience on- or off-stage. Using the alias of Marshall Tucker (the real assasin of J.F.K.), and imitating a well-known group in order to insure immediate success, the FBI has moved into the 1970's." "holy shit!" Freddie using his favorite expression "And they sound so good. Where's the Poet, the Poet?? He must have seen through this a long time ago. Hey, there he is. What do you say?" He spoke; YOU MUST FIRST DEFINE A SPACE FOR YOURSELF. IF YOU WANT TO CONTINUE. CONTINUE Norman Salant WHAT? OBVIOUSLY, ANYTHING YOU THERE'S ARE NOW DOING NOTHING ELSE YOU CAN CONTINUE.

"Okay, whaddya want? You wanna dance? Dance tike everyone else here. Go to the Don't like this music? Supermarket. Wanna be original? Throw up. Listen, man, there are only so many notes to play, or words to speak, so you better do. your thing fast before they're all used up. You wanna hear some fire? Listen to Shepp, but if you don't dig it, there's nothing there for you. A label, a time, man, you don't have to dig any of it if you don't feel it." "But without labels you think you’re buying tuna and it's dog food." "So look at the ingredients, man. It's water, air, dirt, blood, snot, shlorophyl, and space. That's it. You're upset 'cause your friends are dancing to the FBI? Welt, why don't you just go and take off the record so everyone is standing still staring at you and then tell them what you know and feel, if you think you're hip to that. But you gotta do more than just change a record, and there's nothing for you to change 'cuase you expect to remain as you are. Me, I don't go looking for the carpet." Freddie was squirming from Martin's philiippic in time to the music tapping his foot to look and that's okay with him cause they sound like the Allman Brothers and they're okay with him too. — - The Marshall Tucker Band (Capricorn) Freddie, isn't it past your bedtima?" "Ah, why don't you go fuck yourself." "Oh my God, what didyou ..."

"To begin with," said Anne, "the handshake first developed to discover if the other person was carrying a weapon.That's why we shake with the right hand, which most people would prefer to swing a club with.

Edgar Hoover suggested that all officials at cold war summit meetings do a more thorough handshake, including grasping thumbs (the factor that raises man above all animals, except the monkey and raccoon), as modern weaponry and electronic devices demanded tighter hand-to-hand security.

The Spectrum Page fifteen . 1 �. ‘ -it*' Bang the drum slowly by Mitchell- Lipchitz Spectrum Film Critic Bang the Drum Slowly falls into the category of formula film. From the outset we learn that the main character has a terminal disease. The rest of the movie is rather straightforward with few surprises. All it accomplishes is showing how a person exists knowing that the end can come at any time. Robert De Niro plays Bruce Pearson; catcher for the New York Mammoths. The success of this picture is directly attributed to his performance. Pearson is the one with Hodgkins disease. Unlike other movies dealing in death where the victim is handsome, intelligent, and procificent at whatever he does, Pearson is only the third-string catcher, not very good-looking, and rather dumb. It is because of his rather mediocre character that a light of originality shines through. It also adds to the pathos of the movie. Realism emerges when the guy who dies is just another insignificant part of the populous, rather than some super-hero. The buttery The only person who knows about Pearson's condition is his roommmate, Henry Wiggens, played by Michael Moriarity. Wiggens is just the opposite of Pearson: intelligent, good-looking, and an ace pitcher. The two of them set up a relationship like that of “George" and "Lenny" from Steinbeck's Of Mice and Men. Wiggens takes care of Pearson, takes him to the Mayo clinic and helps Pearson conceal his condition from the rest of the teammates and the manager. The manager is played by Vincent Gardenia. You might remember him from the movie Little 'O Lucky Man!' is a very worthwhile film by Bonnie Semons Spectrum Film Critic Murders in which he plays the father. He's great in this movie too. Me is instrumental in setting up the comical scenes in Beat the Drum of which there are many. Gardenia has a face which he easily contorts into any shape he wishes. His acting is alive. While he's making you laugh you have to ask yourself, "What am I laughing for when the story is telling me to cry?" Not a bawl game Well, you don't get a chance to cry. The Mamoths are caught up fn a pennant race, and that's what's important. Twenty-five percent of the movie takes place on the baseball field. But the team is plagued by internal unrest. As the season ends, the teammates are getting on ech other's nerves and lockerroom fights are flaring up all the time. Not until the rest of the team accidentally finds out about Pearson's illness do they start getting along. Pearson doesn't even know it, but because of his sickness the Mammoths become champions. In the most poignant scene of the movie (shot in slow motion), Pearson finds himself in a daze and ready to collapse. The whole team rushes to him and carry him off the field just as they have won the game. Becoming too sick, Pearson has to leave the team right before the World Series. He says good-bye to Wiggens at the airport and tehs him he'll be back for spring training. The Mamoths go on to win the Series and Pearson dies. At the funeralWiggens is the only one from the team to show up. The Mammoth organization doesn't even send a note of condolences. I guess you could say that the movie never plays on phony sentimentality. 0 Lucky Man! may well be Malcolm McDowell's symbolic concept of his life. It is said that McDowell once did a stint as a saleman; a capitalist doggedly pursuing success. Considering the movie, it is very plausibale. The film is a constant flux and influences and ideas. It changes rapidly from one encounter to the next, and, although it is confusing at first, the moods and the methods soon mesh like clockwork. McDowell (as Michael Travis) experiences heaven and hell, sin and purity, fantasy and reality. He's the Billy Pilgrim of the modern set; he tries to conform to and understand this existential world that fluctuates beyond his naive comprehension. The voice of sanity, in the film, a voice that is dry and tempered, belongs to Alan Price. Price's lyrics are truth, his music relieves the tension of suspense. Together they encourage the feeling that the audience, too, is on some vague magic carpet ride, with modern technology providing the current and the direction. Fortunate flim-flammers The lucky men, the men that succeed, are the men that fly our carpet. Politics and technology are their games, glass and steel are their sanctuaries, manipulation is their method. They are the masters of the super-swindle. ■ 7 McDowell spins 180 degrees in this tolm. Beginning his business career in London, he is an ambitious, optimistic coffee salesman (for a company that sells processed Nigerian coffee back to Nigeria). He tours England and Scotland, getting cuddled, cudgled, cajoled, and contorted. He emerges capitalistic, back in London, but he hasn't even begun to learn. Thinking that he has the formula for fame and wealth, he takes up with Sir James (Ralph Richardson). Sir James, as the kingpin, capitalist, teaches the game to Traivs, who ;doesn't discover the truth until he is sentenced to a five-year stay in a London prison. Cinamtaic crusade After five years of isolation, our hero rejoins society, determined to follow his star in the slums of London. Preaching to society's victims (against a bulletin board backdrop that declares "Revolution is the opium of the intellectuals"), is too painful and fruitless for Travis to bear. Film, McDowell j$ saying, is the only medium that the people will accept as a tool of revolution. The substructure of the movie is masterful. Each actor (except MMcDowell) successfully portrays several characters, to further fry .'A illustrate the theme of flux. Jocelyn Herbert is the production designer, an imaginative woman with The Loves of Isadora to her credit. The suitable beauty and mood of the film is successfully captured by Miroslav Ondricek's camera who has some weird opinions about hell and heaven on earth. (If Writer David Sherwin has a penchant for the vernacular of all classes of the English hierarchy. o Lucky Man/ is a film to see twice, to intellectualize about, to take seriodsly. Malcolm McDowell is a talented, creative man the idea a fine actor, a thinker. 0 Lucky Man/ is now for the film was his playing, for two hours and forty-five minutes, at the Amherst Theater. Every second of it is poetry. .. 'Visions of Eight' laughter from the audience. A very different and much more important tragedy was referred to only in passing. Although the titles at the end declare that the film was made "in memory of the eleven slain Israeli athletes, tragic victims of their time," only two of the eight directors even seem to have noticed the strong political undercurrent running through the Twentieth Olympiad. In The Beginning, a section devoted to "the tension of waiting," Soviet director Juri Ozerov included shots of the thousands of spectators "unprepared for the shadow of tragedy," while John Schlesinger, apparently somewhat bolder, spent about five minutes on his marathon runners' comments on the newspaper headlines they could — not completely ignore. They came very close, though. Perhaps that "obsession" of which Mai Zetterling spoke was responsible for the oversight, but it is very difficult to believe that so many people were so totally unaffected by the terrorists around the corner. - - ' mm Stolympics The photography is gorgeous in all eight segments. The opening scene, in which we cut . . ; —continued from peg# 10— close-ups of the burning gases swirling aroung the sun to the lighting of the 'Olympic Torch, is pretentious but beautiful. However, for much of the rest of the movie, motion was slowed down, speeded up, and otherwise distorted so much that the whole thing gets more than a little bit boring. In The Women, Michael Pfleghar uses slow motion to turn Olga Korbut's routing on the uneven parallel bars into a stunning aerial ballet. Kon Ichikawa's sequences with short-distance runners, shot at one-fourth normal speed, dramatically illustrate his conception of their sport as "modern man's search for freedom." Twenty minutes of Arthur Penn's pole vaulters floating silently in an out of focus got to be too much, though, as did Milos Forman's speeded-up decathlon judges. Also, Forman's intercutting of exhausted athletes collapsing all over each other with shots of a performance of the Ode to Joy from Beethoven's Ninth Symphony was rather humorless, along with Zetterling's comparison of the huge weitfitlifters with sides of beef. Still, this is quite a fascinating film. Sports aficionados should probably wait for reruns of the real thing, but Visions of Bight is definitely well worth seeing. �Psychomat An open, honest experience AGTIONLINE Have a problem? Need help? Do you find it impossible to untangle the University bureaucracy? In cooperation with the Office of Student Affairs and Services, The Spectrum sponsors Action Line, a weekly reader service column. Through Action Line, individual students can get answers to puzzling questions, find out where and why University decisions are made and get action where change is needed. Just dial 831-5000 or visit the Action Line booth in the Center Lounge in Norton Hall for individual attention. The Office of Student Affairs and Services will investigate all questions and complaints, and will answer them individually. The name of the individual originating the inquiry is kept confidential under all circumstances. The more common questions will be answered i this column each week. Q; When is the deadline for filing a degree requirement card? A: October 30th for January completion. February 15, 1974 for May completion. Q: Can an undergraduate take graduate level courses? A; Yes, however permission must be obtained within the first two weeks after the beginning of instruction. You must also meet the following criteria; (1) junior or senior standing and acceptance into an academic major or approved Special Major, (2) overall GPA of 3.0 including transfer credits and completion of prerequisites for the graduate course, (3) written recommendation from the course instructor to show academic necessity and rationale for taking the course. Forms are available at the Dean’s office in Hayes and from the DUS advisors in Diefendorf. If you need to work things out, approach difficulties, or meet people. Psychomat may be what you are looking for. It provides an open, informal group experience with minimal commitments from participants. Psychomat is directed by a supervisory group of “facilitators.” All hough there is no one authoritative figure, several corleaders have been trained to create an atmosphere of honesty, support and trust. The co-leaders were originally members of the Counseling Center in Harriman Library, the Norton Union staff, or were selected becaiise they had been active members of Psychomat. According to one co-leader, the main difference between the participants and the co-leaders is that the latter have more experience in dealing with certain problems. Explaining that “before you want to help other people, you must first take care of your own needs,” he said he had been greatly helped in “finding direction” from Psychomat. Problems discussed In the past, people have attended Psychomat sessions to work out specific family, divorce, insecurity and school problems. One divorcee felt that he had learned to readjust to other people and find, a new lifestyle by voicing his frustrations to other members and then following their suggestions. At most Psychomat meetings, the size of the group varies from ten to 15 people who arrange themselves in a circle. Usually the same core of people attend regularly, but as one participant pointed out: ,‘There is a genuinely relaxed and atmosphere newcomers are immediately accepted into the group.” He added that “people can come and go as they please which makes them more anxious to open up to the others.” Psychomat was founded six years ago by members of the Counseling Center. Faith Lebenbaum, a counselor at the Center, hopes to bring Psychomat to the Amherst Campus. She would also like to meet with resident advisors to organize groups with facilitators on both campuses because she feels moving Psychomat to the dormitories may give residents a greater feeling of unity.

Neill, founding and guiding force behind the world famous Summeihill School, died at Adelburgh, Suffolk this past Tuesday. He was 89 years old. Mr. Neill established the Summerhill School in 1924 as a progressive institution designed to allow students to develop their own approach to education. Although the school was heavily criticized by more traditional educators, Summerhill met with widespread success. The methods developed there were particularly helpful in dealing with difficult students, many of whom had dropped out of the British public school system. Government at Summerhill was centered around the principle of demoractic participation. School policy was determined at weekly meetings at which each pupil and adult was entitled to one vote. Mr. Neill’s book “Summerhill” was widely read in this country by both students and educators. Its influence has been Telt chiefly through the creation of several private schools based on the Summerhill model. Desert city proposed Defense Minister Moshe Dayan TEL AVIV (UPI) called Tuesday for the creation of a desert metropolis of hundreds of thousands of jews in the occupied Sinai Peninsula seized by Israel in the 1967 Middle East War. Dayan told desert settlers in the Sinai he envisioned the Israeli port city would someday outstrip in population the nearby Gaza Strip., which has 370,000 Arab residents. Dayan called the city Yamit and said it could serve as a “strategic buffer zone” between Israel and the Gaza Strip. He said he hoped the city would have hundreds of thousands of Jews living in it by the end of the century. Finance Minister Pinhas Sapir and Commerce and Industry Minister Haim bar Lev have expressed opposition to the project on economic and political grounds. - Chilean Junta outlaws Labor Union The ruling military junta SANTIAGO, Chile (UPI) announced Wednesday a “belt tightening” program to restore the Chilean economy and said it would make increased foreign investment a top priority. The junta also outlawed the country’s biggest labor union, the Central Union of Workers. A decree published by the justice ministry said it was “canceling the charter of the Central Union of Workers which has transformed itself - results. In a telegram sent Tuesday to the U.S. Secretary of Agriculture and other officials, cattle producer Mike into an organization of political character and come under influences foreign and contrary to the national sentiment.” The decree prohibited any references to the union’s existence, ‘‘either to the organization or its action," and banned “voiced or written propaganda .referring to the existence or function of the organization. . NATIONAL Death penalty reinstated A bill restoring the death penalty in California on a limited basis was signed today by Gov. Ronald Regan, who said he regretted the step, but believed the measure would save lives The new law which makes execution mandatory in 11 categories of murder, will be applied only to murders committed after the beginning of 1974. The January, 1, 1974 effective date of the bill will be 22 and a half months since California’s last death penalty law was nullified by the State Supreme Court, and six years, eight and a half months since the last execution in the San Quentin gas chamber. Filling stations mobbed Motorists mobbed the tanks in California Tuesday after filling station operators who had been closed for four days to protest the freeze on gasoline prices re-opened, pronouncing their protest a “tremendous success.” An estimated 9400 stations from central California to the Oregon state line had been closed. If the government permitted only a token increase, a spokesman warned, the dealers could shut down again immediately. The executive director of the National Congress of Petroleum Retailers said in Little Rock, Ark., that there would be no need for a nationwide shutdown to protect gasoline prices because the prices would run service stations out of business. “They’re going broke,” said John M. Huemmrich. “You can’t continue to lose $50 to $100 a day and stay in business and that’s what the average dealer is losing.” Domich, Woodland, Calif., said beef on the hoof is now selling for 22 cents a pound below the level during the price controls. And he predicted slaughter cattle would probably be down to 20 cents a pound by the end of the week, half the price it was a month ago before controls were lifted. He noted that retailers “have not materially reduced their prices for beef.” Domich said there was a glut on the market because consumers who couldn’t get beef during the freeze apparently have not gone back to eating beef. So, complained Domich, the cattle producers are now getting far lower prices than they would have gotten if they had sold their cattle during the freeze. LOCAL More jobs in Buffalo BUFFALO, N.Y. (UPI) Less people will be out or work along the Niagara Frontier during the next two months, a State Labor Department economist forecast — Tuesday. George P. Smyntek, senior economist for the Division of Research & Statistics, said the jobless rate for the metropolitan Buffalo area will probably be around S.l per cent for September and 4.9 per cent in October. If Smyntek’s forecast holds up, it will be the first time unemployment for the Buffalo area was below S per cent since mid 1970.

Capitalists also tried to promote a food crisis, and they set up terrorist groups to carry out bombings and assassinations. In the early period, there were two attempts to assassinate Allende.

Practically no poor people went along with the bosses’ shutdown. A great propaganda machine, financed by the capitalists, was set into motion against Allende. On June 29, 1973, there was an abortive .oup against the government in which 22 people were killed. The Truck Owners Association started a second shutdown after the attempted coup which lasted until the recent coup. Between mid-August and the coup, 300 bombs were set off against volunteer trucks. The purpose of these disturbances was to draw the military deeper into the administration of the government and set the stage for the military coup. Allende agreed just before the coup not to nationalize any more domestic without corporations congressional approval. Congress was dominated by the government’s opposition. An arms control law was October, in passed 1972, forbidding practically all private ownership of any weapon.

How you express yourself depends upon your camera Today all everybody is getting into photography And it s not the snapshot variety. People are doing sports stories, nature stories, portraits—you may even have a friend who s doing photographs through a microscope Or a telescope. You also know that everybody has his own idea about which camera is Best. That's why it s important for you to know about the Canon F-1. Because it s the system camera that s fast becoming the favorite of professionals. And the new status symbol among photography enthusiasts V The whole F-1 system includes over 40 lenses and 200 accessories. It's capable of doing virtually everything in photography. So whatever idea you have for a picture, the F-1 has the equipment to make sure you get it. Because it was conceived from the beginning as a system, it works as a system All the elements are quickly and easily interchangeable. No matter which lens or accessory you use with the F-1 body you won’t have the feeling that something has been tacked on." What’s more the F-1 is comfortable to handle. Years of research went into the design of the F-1 body and placement of controls so your fingers fall naturally into place. You'll appreciate this comfort when you're on assignment. It's also an important thing to keep in mind if you’re investing in a camera you plan to keep a long time. Canon has been in the optics industry over 37 years.

The Bulls came from behind to stomp the Spectrum Staff Writer The tennis Bulls returned to the victory circle on Monday after two consecutive losses. Buffalo crushed St. Bonaventure by a score of 7-i2, increasing their record to 32 for the year. Buffalo’s first singles players continue to have difficulties in winning, as Rich Abbott lost 6-4, 6-2 to the Bonnies’ Jim Marchiony. Buffalo Coach Norb Baschnagel remarked: “Our first singles players stay back too much. They’re not aggressive enough.” He said staying back allows the opponent to control the game. Baschnagel was pleased with the Bulls’ performance. We got our usual Steady efforts from Jeff Sepp and Al Boardman, plus a fine comeback froth our first doubles team, Parelli and Abbott.” Boardman has not lost a set this year. Canisius Golden Griffins. ‘They were hungry. They really wanted to win, and they showed it,” remarked Coach Sal Esposito. “The team as a whole played much more aggressively. They tackled much better than they did against Syracuse. They corrected a good many of their mistakes by looking at Aims of the previous game. They got over their first-game jitters, too, and that may have had something to do with it.” Canisius tallied first in the game, taking a 1-0 lead early in the first half, before the Bulls exploded for six unanswered goals. T was impressed that the guys came back, when they were down one goal, to go ahead and play fairly good ball,” said Esposito. “The halfbacks, which are the key to both the offense and the defense, corrected serious mistakes from the Syracuse game, and did a much better job forking together as a unit, and with the team as a whole.” —Pltter Record breaking effort Led by sophomore inside forward Jude Ndenge, the Bulls set one individual and four team records and tied one other individual record for a single game. Ndenge scored two goals and assisted on two others to set a new standard for points scored in one game (4). The six goals represent the most ever for the Bulls in varsity competition, as does the five-goal margin of victory. Buffalo also set a record for most shots taken in a single game. The Bulls outshot the Griffs by a whopping 35-8 margin. Esposito commented: “I think there were about head shot from in front of the goal. “Tthink the team is beginning to think as a whole,” assessed Esposito. “I was pleased that we were giving a second effort, but we’re still not doing it enough. A true test of what we can do will come on Saturday *(at Ohio University). I think the guys have more pride in themselves, and pride as a unit. With just six lettermen back, we’re just starting to put things together and work as a unit.” “If they continue to play like yesterday (Tuesday),” Esposito added,. “and continue to correct their mistakes, I’m sure we’ll be able to give any team a much better game than we showed Bulls improved St. Bonaventure’s coach, Pat Panzarella, said the Bulls have unproved a lot since last year. “Last year we came in here two deep' (i.e., with two strong players) and did well. This year we came in here eight deep and got beat.” Panzarella added: “You don’t develop many outstanding players. It’s just the luck of the admissions draw.” He cited Hank Maguire as an example. Maguire, transfer student playing third singles for the Indians, nearly defeated the Bulls Marc Miller, finally losing in three sets. Miller commented: “In the first two sets, I just couldn’t return his serve. He put so much spin on it.” The Bulls have reached the halfway mark in their schedule and ECAC post-season tournaments are approaching. The tennis Bulls, however, are independent this year. It has not yet been decided if they will play in the Division I or Division II tournament of the ECAC. Meanwhile, they will travel to Erie, Pennsylvania to play Gannon College on Saturday.

Hr �i Canadian Grand Prix Bad weather and new rules made for confusion at race by Steve Sera fin Spectrum Staff Writer “A mess” is about the only way to describe this year’s Canadian Grand Prix held at Mosport, Ontario last Sunday. Fate apparently decreed that the Grand Prix of Canada should not run smoothly. Four hours after the checkered flag fell, the scorers finally emerged from their mass of tapes and times and declared Peter Revson the winner over two other claimants for the title, Jackie Oliver and reigning world champion, Emerson Fittipaldi. The mass confusion resulted from a combination of bad weather and a new procedure. Track conditions last Friday were generally favorable and the times around the 2.4S9 mile course were quick, though not record breaking. Rain and dampness hampered Saturday’s times so the position of the field was acutaily decided by Friday’s times. Ronnie Peterson in a John Player Lotus won the pole position with Revson’s McLaren beside him. Judy Scheckter and Carlos Reutemann were placed in the second row. Course soaked An hour before the race began, rain came down in buckets, thoroughly soaking the course. With everyone shod in rain tires, the field blasted off in a cloud of spray. Revson faltered at the start but Peterson got off quickly, only to be passed two laps later by Nikki Lauda. Lauda found the conditions to his liking and set the pace, lengthening his lead every lap. However, it soon became apparent that the track was drying off as the lap times were reduced. Dry tires on a dry track can increase the speed of a car as much as 2Smph over rain tires and Lauda made a pit stop for a tire change. Pit stops are very unusual in a Grand Prix race, as anyone who pits is nearly out of contention. However, a (drain reaction began as everyone tried to improve their times via a tire change. The scorers were overloaded but they still seemed to have most people in their proper place. However, on the 40th lap when confusion was still rampant, Scheckter and Francois Cevert came together near the third turn. According to a new regulation, a pace car was to go out on the course in a situation like this and station itself in front of the leader (Oliver). Passing would not be allowed and confusion would be minimized while safety would be maximized. Confusion reigns The pace car picked up the wrong car which threw the scorers into a panic. Bulletins were issued declaring Ganley in the lead; when, in reality, he was three laps back. After several retractions, Fittipaldi was declared the leader, while Oliver’s crew thought he was still the first. No one even counted on Revson as a possibility until Fittipaldi had completed his victory lap and was in the winner’s circle. Then the word came from the scorers that Revson had won. Several teams immediately lodged protests. Revson was finally declared the victor with a time of 1:59:04. Fittipaldi was second, 32 seconds behind Revson and Oliver was third. It may not be settled yet, so look for blood in a few people’s eyes at the U.S. Grand Prix in two weeks.

Mr. Nixon and the White House, denials to the contrary, seem to be rather eager for Mr. Agnew’s resignation. Time niagazine alluded to several reasons; one would be to give John Connally, frequently mentioned as a Vice Presidential successor, a head start in the running for 1976. Another would be the resolution of the constitutional question of whether the Vice President can be tried while in office, thus easing the pressure on Attorney General EUiot Richardson, who will otherwise have to make that difficult decision. And naturally, by diversion, to ease the pressure on a Watergate-weakened President Nixon. Political opportunity To be sure, a resignation by the Vice President would be a most interesting and opportunistic political event. According to the 25th Amendment to the Constitution, President Nixon would have to appoint a successor, subject to confirmation by a majority vote of Congress. The Democrats have threatened to attach a rider to any acceptance measure of a successor, stating that the new Vice President would agree not to run for President in 1976. If they cannot successfully ensure against a non-Presidential candidate, then the field for possible appointees becomes rather vast. Elliot Richardson, Nelson Rockefeller, John Connally, Melvin Laird, Barry Goldwater, Hugh Scott and others have been frequently mentioned as possible successors. If the situation arises where the President must make an appointment it would well serve the Republicans and their chances in 1976 if he would appoint New York’s Governor to the post. Not only would Mr. Rockefeller be far removed from the problems and scandals of Watergate, but he would be a shoo-in for the Republican nomination in ’76. Mr. Rockefeller would represent the Liberal north-east in an election against the Democrats, who traditionally rely upon the Liberal Northeast for a large number of their electoral votes. Former Texas Governor and Treasury Secretary John Connally is also an attractive Presidental candidate, but as a recent convert to the GOP, his nomination to the Number Two spot could quite likely split the Republican party. But of course, we must deal with the matter at hand. Spiro Agnew has moved from obscurity into the limelight since 1968,but now he is under an intense spotlight. His reputation has been shattered, regardless of the grand jury’s eventual findings. His political career is ruined. But as a true hungry politician who has fought his way to the top, he has decided to fight to the end. It is interesting to note that Senator Hubert Humphrey feels a bit sorry for the Vice President in these troubled times. Perhaps the former Vice President knows something about life in politics and the potential political dynamite of “business deals”. The game appears to be “Don’t get caught,” rather than serve the people. Not only have a distrubing number of top presidental advisors been caught, but now the Vice President is under investigation. Our system of checks and balances has failed. As Congresseional reluctance has shown, the long involved process of impeachment is far too cumbersome for today’s mechanized world; a system of Parliamentary recall would obviously be far more workable. __ �CLASSIFIED * WANT AOS may not discriminate on ANY basis.

No. 16 State University of New York at Buffalo Wednesday, 26 September 1973 Security women not overpaid secretaries by Muk Kinchenbau Spectrum Staff Writer “We don’t want overpaid secretaries.” This is how Lee Griffin, Assistant Director of Campus Security, described the diversified roles of women in the security field.

At each level the case is heard by threy judges. At the Trial and Appeal levels, two of the three judges must be from the defendant’s own constituency, while a Supreme Court hearing would involve one judge from each constituency. SA.GSA and MFCSA will provide six judges each to staff the courts; the judges’ initial terms of office will be either one or two years. - . Staff Writer Final word on the long-awaited creation of a Student-Wide Judiciary is expected by the end of this week. Vital to the concept of student-wide governance is that for the first time, constituents of the three the undergraduates, largest student associations the graduates and the night students will be involved, as opposed to the solely undergraduate jurisdiction of the present Student Judiciary.

Buffalo speed traps exposed —Alvin Pie fight will support the United Way Fund by Linds Wagner fought in earnest between the Spectrum Staff Writer The Idea pie-throwing stage to a contest between University President Robert Ketter and Student Association President Jonathan Dandes materialized last April. The setting was a campaign meeting of the Buffalo area United Way Fund. Under discussion was the fact that the State University of Buffalo campus has been lax in its contributions to this worthy cause in the past. Mr. Dandes voiced the opinion that the University’s poor response to the United Way Fund had been largely due to a lack of publicity. With the vaguest hint of suggestion, Mr. Dandes explained. went on to note the widespread publicity given a pie-throwing contest that had been held in November, 1972 between the President of the University of Hartford (Connecticut) and the Student Association president there. “Before the words had hardly gotten out of my mouth,” Mr. Dandes said, Dr. Ketter loudly and firmly stated: “I accept the challenge.” intelligence operation conducted by his second Mr. Meyer. The match will be held on Tuesday, October 2 at 1 p.m. in . the fountain area in back of Norton Hall. Pies will be available for a minimal fee, as yet unestablished, for those desiring to participate in the throw. It is recommended that all those interested in fair play and justice (and pie throwing) be present to witness this symbolic event (and to display University support of the United Way campaign). Dud to the death Thus, a “dud,” employing cream pies as “weapons will be ” illustrious President Ketter and Dandes, under the auspices of a publicity stunt for the United Way Week on campus. Dr. Ketter University has appointed Prosecutor Howard Meyer as his second for the match, Jake Pontillo will act as Mr. Dandes’ second. A high-level meeting will take place this week to establish the rules for the contest. Evidence that the contest is rooted in antagonism between the involved parties was seen in Mr. Dandes’ public challenge to Dr. Ketter, printed in Monday’s issue of The Spectrum. Dr. Ketter termed the “Overlord of Academia," was accused of perpetuating various “crimes,” including the allegations that “In cases of justice, academic litigants may be represented by legal barristers while students may not;” and “The king’s own household guard, known as the Security, have tricycles, and Jonathan has not.” ‘Structure A reliable source has provided a document substantiating rumors of treachery on the part of Dr. Ketter and his aides: a letter addressed to Dr. Ketter and signed by Mr. Meyer, in which Mr. Meyer mentions his “task of stuffing horseshoes in meringues in preparation for die coming pie The ten radar speed trap zones in the Buffalo area are as. fpllpws: 1.

Dr Ketter could not be reached for comment about this report of treachery and the covert alcohol and drugs. The Buffalo Police Traffic Division is very impressed with the effectiveness of their traffic control program. Speeding convictions involving radar are difficult to combat in court because the traffic court relies more on the accuracy of the radar equipment than the motorists’ word on how fast he was traveling.

Wednesday, 26 September 1973 . Driving to and from campus can be a harrowing experience. By operating efficient speed traps, the Buffalo Police Traffic Division may present a threat to your sanity and Record of Convictions Stub. The use of sophisticated electronic equipment and computers has already proved a pain to 21,849 drivers who received speeding tickets in Buffalo last year. One of the Buffalo Police Traffic Division’s busiest speed traps lies on the eastern boundry of the Main Street campus. The half-mile stretch of Bailey Avenue between Main and Winspear has netted many a bewildered student. Although the trap has been located there for years. State University of Buffalo motorists continue to get caught in lemming proportions. Prior knowledge of where the speed traps are and some, common sense Can save you from the unfortunate circumstance of receiving a speeding ticket. Radar units are placed on congested and straight open roadways.

Renovation demands delay start of service A demand for renovations has postponed the opening of the Law School cafeteria on the North Campus. Tbe staff of the fully-equipped Food Service was prepared to begin operations on September 17 during the Law School orientation when Environmental Health and Safety Director Robert E. Hunt ordered a delay. Mr. Hunt was dissatisfied with the appearance and facilities of the cafeteria. many Hunt felt Mr. modifications had to be made in the basement area of John Lord O’Brian Hall before State sanitation and health standards could be met. According to .Mr, Hunt, the place was “full of junk.” Additionally Mf. , Hunt noted that ’ food service tables were so crowded together that “there was no room for people.” Food Service officials disagreed with this assessment. “We were reasonably certain that the Board of Health would have approved the area,” stated one Food Service official. “It is Hunt who is holding it up.” Food Service pointed out that most of the “junk” consisted of cabinets that were temporarily stored in the basement area. These have already been removed, leaving more room for the tables to be dispersed. Many changes The changes proposed by Mr. Hunt surpass the removal of the offensive cabinets. Mr. Hunt has stated that needed additions would include tiling the floor, constructing a covered ceiling under the cement beams and exposed pipes, and installing ventilation, lighting and partitions “to render some privacy to the cafeteria.” there is any kind of problem, it’s where the money’s coming from,” said Mr. Hunt.*Tb improvements which must be “If : Bernard Gelbaum’s choice for interim director of the Collegiate System has been rejected. Members of the College Council cast only one vote for Curtis Bennett, the Academic Affairs vice-president’s designee for the post. Richard Prosser, the College E nominee, a director of the Community Planning Assistance Center of Western New York, received nine votes. Mr. Prosser must now be formally appointed by President Robert L. Ketter. Keith Klopp, acting administrative officer of the Collegiate System, said handled by Facilities Planning $ 10,000 and may cost upwards of there is no current appropriation available for that purpose. Mr. Hunt failed to note that the contract between the State University Construction Fuhd and the architect for the Law School includes a one-year guarantee provision which prohibits any major structural changes to the building during that time period. Bozek, Donald assistant director of Food Service, indicated his department was ready to operate when he was notified of the delay. An array of wrapped foods, a steam table and refrigerated items were planned. No preparation of food would have taken place in the area. Mo difference “The President has indicated the interim director should be someone the Collegiate Assembly can deal with,” explained Mr. Klopp. Alternative choices Dr. Bennett, a member of the Council of International Studies, had been introduced as the Administration’s candidate for interim director at last week’s Collegiate Assembly meeting. When members of the Assembly balked at voting without being offered alternatives, it was decided that the individual Colleges would nominate other candidates. Mr. Prosser was then nominated by College E, and he and Dr. Bennett were interviewed by College personnel before the College Council selected Mr. Prosser. “Mr. Prosser was very impressive,” remarked one member of the Colleges. Another explained: “Dr. Bennett is a competent academician and administrator... but the Colleges need a more dynamic personality at this time.” Responding to speculation that some of the votes for Mr. Prosser may have been “anti-Gelbaum” votes, Mr. Klopp said that he thought the votes were based solely “on the merits of the candidates.” Mr. Bozek. compared the Law ttiqse food are as in the Main St. campus buildings.

Levine irrevocably things Two dominate the forward progression and directiqn of American Sports. You either become a media sport and grow big, strong and powerful; or you remain a sport just existing by your own artistic right to survive, nothing more and nothing less Years ago, when tennis was an English lawn sport for upper-class, st uffed-collared aristocrats who found the game a convenient medium between exertion and exhaustion one never did give much notice to tennis. It was for the people who lived behind the fences. Even the age of television did not really propel the sport forward as quickly as it took football by the seat of its pants, and made it important enough for presidents to sign congressional bills about. In other words, there was really no market for tennis. It wasn’t fast, forceful, rough, and overtly physical. There weren’t broken necks and dissembled bodies hanging over a portentous evening at the courts. It was simple, graceful, artistic, sport deliberate; a of concentration and psyche. Americans thought of it as a female sport, a sport to appease the wife by telling her she really is a good athlete.

For women, to strike another blow at the heart of male chauvinism. For America, to strike another blow at America’s confusion with itself. Or to sell that steamed hair curler which women of all sizes and shapes need so desparately to make them attractive to America’s male pigs, of American interest. And they are right! Tennis will get bigger and bigger. And the dollars will swell and everyone will jump on for the ride. And only the poetic and nostalgic will be left to muse about the fate of tennis. the quick rise of Women’s tennis, and not to respect her as a tennis player is to be a fool. But there will be people who will always hate her for what she did to tennis as a sport Thursday night. What she did to tennis as a media sport, there will be people that will love her for that! Cosell and Casals No one can for wanting to money. She is single-handedly blame Billie Jean make some good after all almost responsible for No violence CASAELYA For Sexes. Because that will seU and tennis won’t. Because a man named Booby Riggs along with ABC learned that the media is the Devil’s Tool and the things that are the most sad and disgusting about American life can sell a lot quicker than Stan Smith adng John Newcomb, fhat you can become a millionaire being a male chauvinist pig, and laugh in the face of anyone who dares to call you one after you have million. A lot of people think that this has all been good for tennis. That the exposure and the pageantry will thrust tennis to the forefront Sitting at Forest Hills is a joy, especially for me, since I grew up a few blocks from where the tennis stadium sits. Surrounded by grotesque buildings and high memories, school the perfectly-shaved lawns of Forest Hills West Side Tennis . Club are some kind of aberration. An 1890’s, anachronism of the complete with pink parasol and top hat. There is the main stadium and the surrounding auxiliary courts where, at the beginning of the U.S. Open, anyone can try to become a champion. Many people don’t know that anyone can try out for the Open, and if they make it to the top they can play in the preliminaries at Forest Hills. The atmosphere of a tennis championship is one of deep respect and reserve. There is little that is orgiastic about the sport. You simply don’t get your rocks off by watching the violence that other sports thrive on. It’s considered a personal privelege to watch the tennis of champions, and that’s the way people act when they’re there. The little pageantry that exists is primarily on the courts, and while walking around you can go up and casually talk to a Rod Laver or Arthur Ashe or Yvonne Goolagong or anyone. There is no booing, and the little displeasure that is espoused turns up in muffled whistles which are quickly pre-empted by the next serve. It is simply a day of being with the best in the world; without the security guards, the noise, or the Madison Avenue poetry. Millionaire pig Well, I guess things change. Television has finally gotten its filthy Manhattan minds to squeeze all the juice out of tennis, and they will waste the sport quicker than you can say Billie Jean King. They will do what they are already doing. They will shove 30,000 people into the Houston Astrodome and then pervert the name of good tennis and repackage it into Battle of the Roar of die crowd So who won Thursday night at the Astrodome? Women’s tennis? They already are getting as much as the men, and well deserved since their drlwing power is equal if not stronger than the men’s. The Battle of the Sexes? Anyone who knows tennis, or any wotnan tennis great with half a brain, knows that Billie Jean or Margaret Court or Chris Evert could not even see a Newcomb serve, let alone return it. Men’s tennis? Ken Rosewall only has 16 years to go Jo be 55; stop making those stupid sneakers, Ken, and start practicing up. How about tennis in general; Maybe matches at Yankee Stadium, the smell of the greasepaint, the roar of the crowd, idolatry, millions of dollars, the press, glamour power. Bobby Riggs, male pride neals quick at ... So if you like the ascension of tennis to where it is, if you like Howard Cosell and his perfect obnoxiousness; Rosemary Casals (who just happens to be one of the finest women tennis players in the world) and her inane and absolutely absurd and vicious commentary; ABC trying to fool all of America into comparing men’s and women’s tennis for the sake of everything except good tennis; for the sake of the best way to get 48,000.000 people watching at prime time for $75,000 a commercial, then tennis is ON ITS WAY. For those who saw something remiss in the overtones of glamour and spectacle, at least we won’t have Bobby Riggs to kick us around anymore! �Agnew doing okay despite scandals by Louis Harris At a time when public confidence in the Nixon Administration was hovering around its lowest levels. Vice President Spiro Agnew was rated on the job he was doing by no worse than a 49-42 percent negative margin. In both 1970 and 1971, Mr. Agnew was less favorably received by the public. Significantly, the American people were being very careful not to jump to any conclusions about charges which had appeared in the press about his possible involvement in scandals when he held office harris poll In the summer of 1971, when the Vice President was leading the clarion call against permissiveness and protest among young people, he reached a low point in his standing with the public at 52-35 percent negative. His high point was in early 1970 after his attacks against the Eastern liberal press establishment. By that fall, when he turned his wrath against youthful war demonstrators, his popularity fell sharply. Since 1969, the Harris Survey has conducted a number of in-depth studies of public reaction to the controversial Vice President. In the last survey, the public was asked; “Let me read you some statements about Vice President Agnew. For each, tell me if you tend to agree or disagree. (READ STATEMENTS) The country would be in real trouble if he had to take over as President. 1973 36 23 41 1972 38 20 42 1970 x x x 1969 xxx He has a background of alleged crooked deals when he was Governor of Maryland and that disqualifies him for President. 1973 25 33 42 1972 xxx 1970 xxx 1969 x x x x Not asked These results show that Vice President Agnew has been viewed as a kind of political maverick, whose many outspoken statements were likely to “get him in trouble," but the public found him different and appealing in style, if not in content. The public showed real ambivalence on his frequent criticisms of television and the press. People still liked his taking the press to task, but there has been a steadily rising suspicion that Mr. Agnew tried to “censor a free press” and, obviously, according to most, that is wrong. • ' „ — PROFILE OF VICE PRESIDENT AGNEW in Maryland. A substantial 75 percent of the public simply would not make a judgement that the stories about the Vice President allegedly receiving kick-backs from contractors in any way “disqualifies him for President.” Perhaps ironically, one of the lessons the American people have apparently learned from the Watergate affair is not to draw any hard and fast conclusions about charges against public figures until the full facts are in. Each year since he took over the Vice Presidency in 1969, the Harris Survey has asked cross sections of the public, the last among 2,454 households in late August: “How would you rate the job Vice President Spiro Agnew has been doing as excellent, pretty good, only fair, or Vice President — poor?” OVERALL AGNEW JOB RATING GoodExcellent 42% 1973 1972 45 1971 35 1970(Oct) 40 Only Fair- Not Poor 49% 47 52 50 42 42 1970(Feb) 47 1969 40 Sure 9% 13 10 11 18 He is an appealing public figure because he says things most other politicians don’t say.

By a slightly larger 43-35 percent margin, most people also denied that his training as Vice President “qualifies him to serve as President.” Events might alter this Agnew profile drastically. But up to the time of this survey he hardly had been mortally wounded by recent press revelations. Mr. Agnew’s appeal was rooted in his seeming skepticism of the press establishment, obviously a popular strain. In return, the public seemed to want to give him the benefit of the doubt in the current investigation. (c) 1973 by The Chicago Tribune World Rights Reserved • ••••••* GET FOOD t - v- • ;* ?

Mr. Dandes appointed Bruce Engel, Contributing Editor of The Spectrum, chairman of the committee and members of both the student body and faculty have been asked to serve on it. The athletics problem has been present ever since the State of New York decided to cut off funds to intercollegiate sports. Therefore, the Athletic Department of the State University of Buffalo receives most of its funds from the mandatory student activity fee from the fees the Student Association decides to allocate a sum for athletics each year. To compound the problem, athletic budgets for some sports have not been approved until after thy end of the season. The chaotic atmosphere has distressed Mr. Dandes and he vows “not to allow the confusion to continue.” According to Mr. Dandes, there have been “no goals, priorities, guidelines or rules” set forth by the State University of Buffalo for the Athletic Department. Get it together Mr. Dandes explained that bothJhe Student Association and the Athletic Department must “stop working in a vacuum.” He also said it was absolutely imperative that both “understand**-and “accept” the other’s position. The committee report will decide how the 'SA and Athletic Department function .in relation to one another. Perhaps the most important topic to be discussed will be the establishment of priorities: that is, which sports will be funded and possibly, which are to be eliminated. At the completion of the investigation, the report will be presented to Mr. Dandes and voted upon by the Student Assembly. Hopefully, the measure will be passed before the first of January.

Jack Kemp. At a symposium last Friday in Buffalo’s Statler Dirty, costly coal Most power is generated from coal, oil or gas, Hilton Hotel, Congressman Kemp suggested that the present energy resource problem will ultimately while only 5% is generated from hydro or nuclear unite the American people. The symposium’s sources, explained Mr. Clay. The most used fuel is purpose, said Mr. Kemp, was to provide an coal, but many problems accompany its use. Mr. opportunity for the Buffalo community to listen, Clay said coal is the dirtiest source and it has a learn, ask questions, and subsequently have a better higher price due to the transportation cost involved in bringing it from the west to the east. uhderstanding of the current energy problem. Mr. Clay suggested the solution to the energy Jack Bridges, Director of Energy Resources for and immediated the Joint Committee on Atomic Energy of the U.S. dilemna is strong > Congress, gave an overview of the enegry crisis and the congressional structure to deal with it. He said the U.S. is the only nation with unlimited fuel resources for its population and Americans use this up with no concern for replacing it. Now, he continued, we are faced with the problem of replacing die fuel we haphazardly used ■f Test die system This inuhediate problem will “let us find out how good the American system really i?”, Mr. Bridges argued. He said although there is no formal structure for dealing with a fuel shortage, the House of Representatives is currently holding hearings to investigate solutions.” Reality is that there is no such body capable of effectively dealing with the problem, assessed Mr. Bridges. ‘The most encouraging thing is that Congress responds quickly to what the voters will push them into.” He cited the imposed ceiling on beef prices to demonstrate his theory Mr. Bridges is optimistic, however, that Congress will find a solution to the energy problem if two hurdles are met; a thorough understanding of the problem and efficient 1 communication. Robert associated with the Crow, Additionally, Environmental Analysis Department in the School of Management at this University, spoke on the economic policies needed to use the existing energy resources more efficiently. He stated there were two competing factors concerning the energy situation; The lack of availability of fuel, and the rel use high-pollution fuel due to the envin ition Tax pollution ‘The key to rational usage is to reflect the social cost,” said Mr. Crow. This involves the cost of air pollution, oil spills, strip mining, and the assurance of energy for future generations, he explained. Pollution taxes should be instituted as an incentive to pollute less and corporations should also be expected to pay for their damages, suggested Mr. Crow. For example, he feels companies should pay compensation for miners’ risks and be fined for oil spills they create. Prices for the use of energy should also be raised to reduce the wasting of energy and to decrease pollution, added Mr. Crow. Herbert Clay, President of National Fuel Gas Company, posed the question: “Is there actually a shortage of energy confronting our nation?” He voiced his opinion: “Yes, there is a problem, but it hasn’t reached the crisis level yet.” He felt the problem was evident in many ways. For several years, his company hasn’t been able to obtain new gas contracts, he reported. Additionally, Mr. Clay said there have been restrictions on the sale of gas to the consumers resulting in the curtailment of the hours which stations remain open. He also expressed ****************** preventative action. Most people are unaware of the problem since it has* only been a minor for them, he charged. Mr. Gerhard Neumaier, President of Ecology and Environment Inc., addressed the topic of energy resource and its effects on the environment. He said Alaska has been developing its oil supply, but there is only a one or two year supply. The coal resources of Nevada, New Mexico, etc. are promising noted Mr. Neumaier, but there are dangerous environmental problems with strip mining, and utilizing the undeveloped desert. In addition, there is untapped lignite in Texas, and shale deposits in Tennessee. However, he explained, if these minerals were mined, hundreds of acres of land would be left uninhabitable. He concluded that this country needs a national' system of long and short term fuel supplies. A method of conservation must also be discovered and rising prices seem to be inevitable, said Mr. Neumaier. “Maybe the government hasn’t been honest with the people in telling them that there will be a higher cost involved,” concluded one speaker. But, he added it is better to have a higher cost for fuel then no fuel at all. Government tries to prevent shortage In the face of a possible fuel shortage for the upcoming winter, the Nixon Administration has formulated plans to deal with possible emergencies. The plans call for allocation and possible rationing of heating, industrial and transportation fuel. The plan has not yet been formally approved. Officials refer to the measures as a “contingency tough many of its provisions have already been implemented. The White House domestic advisor, Melvin Laird, stated that the plan might be put into effect if Congress is unable to propose an alternative. The Senate has already passed a bill calling for mandatory fuel allocation, but the bill has been tied up in the House Commerce Committee. Fuel shortages are expected to develop during the fall when the demand for oil heating increases. Mr. Laird conceded that any plan calling for mandatory allocations would be difficult to put into effect, but claimed that the White House had no alternative if Congress failed to come up with a solution Fuel rationing? The administration plan consists of four parts. The first is an appeal for voluntary fuel conservation backed by higher fuel prices. The second centers around a shift from scarce to more abundant fuels in certain industries. In most instances, this will mean using high-sulfur fuels which are currently restricted because of their adverse effect on the environment. The third proposal concerns establishment of priorities and allocations. A possible fourth contingency includes fuel rationing for the public. Parts of the first three proposals have already been enacted by the Administration They have come under heavy criticism from both environmentalist groups and segments of the industries affected. The fourth proposal is likely to meet considerable opposition from the consuming public if it is ever seriously considered Additionally gasoline dealers from 41 states have threatened shutdowns unless the freeze on gas prices is lifted. The dealers charged that there was a “conspiracy between the Cost of Living Council and the major oil to squeeze the companies. independent operator out of business.’ The shutdown would not be centrally organized However, a spokesman for the National Congress of Petroleum Dealers said that the dealers could no longer remain in operation unless the government affords immediate price relief. Locally, Harold H. Izard, candidate for Erie County legislator, has urged homeowners to conserve energy whenever possible. He suggested reducing the heating temperature of buildings by two degrees and the turning off of lights when not necessary. Mr. Izard made the suggestions in a letter to County Executive Edward Regan. .

The University of California student lobby, for instance, has influenced the allocation of over $8,000,000, including $1 million to upgrade undergraduate teachers and courses; $2 million in state student to replace programs cut back by President Nixon; $1.6 million in student financial aid last year and $2.6 million for 1973-74. California lobbyists also established the National Student Lobby to pressure Congress for more financial aid to students. aid The Student Association of State University (SASU), while its results have not been quite as spectacular, is modeled along the same lines. The "clout" of student lobbies in 1971, which added one million young voters to the the 18-year-old vote in 1971, which added one million young voters to the rolls in California alone. SASU monitors all student-related bills in Albany and pressures legislators; when a lobby's constituency poses a voting threat, legislators tend to listen. Whether it is our Graduate Student Association lobbying in Washington for more research and tuition grants for grad students or consumer groups (such as PIRG) influencing legislation in state houses, activism has a new face. As one Californian lobbyist said of "quiet" campuses: "There are no more protests because they are no longer effective. Listen, you just don't get a million dollars by sitting on the Governor's front lawn. We're just smarter now." Certainly, the students who ring doorbells for PIRG or stuffed envelopes for George McGovern were just a minority; but this only serves to underscore the potential of what a mass of students working together might accomplish. So far the results have been modest, but the possibilities are infinite. Strangely enough, even activist students espousing national causes are Inexplicably apathetic about issues On their own campuses. This is ironic becaCTSe the opportunity for significant input is present, to a much greater degree than a few years ago. The Colleges are under attack, an attack which may prove fatal if vocal and visible student support is not forthcoming. Open hearings are taking place about the selective arming of Campus Security. Tenure, grievances, academic quality there is no lack of issues. A vital referendum on the funding of WNYPIRG and elections for SASU. and the new state-wide Student Assembly is slated for next week, but referendums on this campus have traditionally been marred by extremely low turnout. Trends such as these must be reversed if students are to stop (nothing empty phrases about involvement and actually achieve significant results. Students have made meaningful inroads at the state and national levels. On the campus level, however, the results have been disappointing. If we continue to be too lazy to vote in referendums or speak out on University issues, the Administration will just do as it pleases. If we make noise, they will be forced to deal with us. Whether the Collages are castrated or how Security is armed are issues that directly affect us. The opportunity is there to be heard we need only to seize it. - - SrMinU *>0 FIRST ILL - S&, eive T&dStOJ im Let us examine the radically different climate which prevailed three years ago. Campuses were being shaken to their very foundations by demonstrations both violent and non-violent. The root causes of student discontent were the continuing American involvement in Indochina and a feeling of being frozen out of decision-making processes at their own schools. Many other factors were responsible as well, but basically students were politically powerless. They resorted to violence for the same reason that blacks did a few years earlier and Indians did a few years later: to make the nation sit up and take notice. may have. These may be considered "straight" and "conformist" goals. At the same time, student commitment to changing our inequitable society, while less overt than in past years, is not necessarily diminished, it has been transformed: it seeks different outlets of m&e DM. MUCH. - With the job market as tight as it is, the 1973 student certainly spends more time studying, worrying about his career and aiming past the commonplace BA to graduate school than his 1970 counterpart 1-30 RR.AXAT(OfO It has by now become cliche to ask what has happened to the student activism of the sixties. The answer is that it has been transformed the question remains how. Violence may be reprehensible means to achieve an otherwise-desirable end, but it does catapult grievances into the national spotlight a lot faster than commissions appointed to study the problem. There is no need to recount the repression and recrimination which followed the frustrated period of violence. The relatively calm condition in the universities which followed makes it very easy to conclude that sutdents have returned to a fifties-style passivity. Yet we believe such a conclusion is erroneous. «w»4*s6rfc-U out of PRIS by Janis Cromer If the only summer job you could find was chief hamburger slinger at MacDonald’s (God forbid!), you’d have a lot to gripe about. You could spend, hours complaining about the _ grease, the noise, the inconsiderate customers and the other dissatisfied co-workers. Yet, the worst of it would be the pay. Workirig 40 hours a week would result in S74 (before taxes). That’s according to the present minimum wage standard in New York State $ 1.85 an hour. Elsewhere in the country, you'd only make $1.60 an hour, the federal wage level. Now, $74 is a fairly paltry sum, especially when compared to the size of the paycheck your friend at the post office Is getting.TJut then again, $74 a week will buy a substantial number of albums, some dope (if it can be found), dnd entrance to a quantity of X-rated films (if the theaters remain open). So, all things considered, making Big Macs is better than no job at all and you tell yourself: “It’s only for a few months.” However, if you are making $74 a week and it’s not just a summer job and you’re expected to buy more than music, marijuana and movies, the situation goes from annoyed griping to desperate groping. A family of four could just as easily spin gold out of hay as live on a minimum wage diet of $3700 a year. Yet millions of Americans are expected to eke out a living on even less money. Needless to say, the rising food and rent prices affect most those with the least. Last week, the United States Congress was in a position to at least slightly alleviate the problem. Congress could have overridden President Nixon’s veto of the new minimum wage proposal. Unfortunately, it fell23 votes short of the needed two-third majority. If enacted, the law would have increased the federal minimum wage from the $1.60 standard to $2.00 an hour now and $2.20 an hour after a year. That would have increased the income of the minimum wage worker to a whopping $88 a week. Nowhere in this country can -a family live adequately on $88 a week. Even with the increase, the annual income is still below the federal poverty level. Yet, those with the least will also be most affected by any wage increase. An additional $14 a week would considerably, even if not adequately, enhance a minimum wage family budget. President Nixon, however, chose to deny this increase. He said the new law would have been inflationary. (The “inflation" label is Mr. Nixon’s private weapon against disagreeable legislation.) This law would have raised minimum wages 38%, complains Mr. Nixon. He fails to mention that although the last wage boost was in 1968, the cost of living in 1968 bears little resemblance to its 1973 counterpart. Employers must realize that they are saving very little by opposing a wage increase. As long as employers refuse to share their record-breaking profits with their —• employees, they will continue to pay $19 billion a year in welfare costs. And they will continue to face increasing crime rates, a reflection of the number of people who are driven to break the law rather than work for pittance Equally distasteful to Mr. Nixon was the inclusion of domestic workers in the new wage proposal. Under the new law, domestics would have received an initial wage of $1.80 an hour, increasing to $2.20 an hour by July I97S. At present, the $1.60 law applies to domestics, although, in reality, they arc paid substantially less than the minimum wage. In 1972, the median annual income for domestic work was only $2072. Mr. Nixon perhaps felt, as others have argued, that including domestics under the wage law would result in a loss oT available jobs because many households would no longer be able to afford domestic help. However, over one million workers have left this sector of the labor market in the last ten years because of the pitiful wages. And, as the National Committee on Household Employment, a worker’s organization trying to demand rights collectively, has said: ‘if you can’t pay the price for household help a decent' minimum wage, thea;*iu you’d better start scrubbing yotit own floors.” The wages of the young were also a point of contention for Mr. Nixon. He favors including a “youth differential" in the federal wage law. This means, employers could hire teenage workers at 80% of the minimum wage for the first six months of employment. Summer jobs would fall in this category and the aspiring burger-slinger would makes less-than-minimum wage Mr. Nixon argues this will overcome the high youth unemployment rate which is three times the adult rate. Who would benefit from a “youth differential?” Surely, Mr. MacDonald, president of the quarter-pounder business, would make a considerable savings. MacDonald’s, a $300,000 contributor to Mr. Nixon’s re-election campaign, employs 70% of its staff from the “under twenty” ranks. What would stop employers from firing youth when their six-month period of reduced rate wages was completed to hire new, cheaper employees? As the vetoed bill’s sponsor, Rep. John Dent, has queried: “Isn’t equal pay for equal work the standard of American labor?” A new minimum wage proposal will be passed soon, one that is more to the President’s liking. First, domestic workers will not be included. Second, a “youth differential” will be included. Third, the increase will not be as large (Ope proposal sets the initial wage at $ I 90 this year, increasing to $2.20 by July 1975.) If you get stuck working at MacDonald’s again next summer, you’re going to miss that extra $14. If you have to finance a college education, you’ll miss it even more. But its the family of four which is being strangled between sky-rocketing prices and an outdated minimum - ’ wag*. Bigotry revisited To the Editor: Student Association President Jon Dandes has accused the Progressive Labor Party of “bigotry” because we oppose the upcoming appearance of racist Lester Maddox. Dandes might do well to remember just who the bigot in this issue is. It is Lester Maddox, who thinks that the proper way to deal with blacks is with ax handles. It is Lester Maddox, who instructed his police that in civil rights “disturbances,” cops should “shoot to kill and stack ’em up like cordwood.” And now it is Jon Dandes who comes to this racist’s defense. Page eight. The Spectrum Wednesday, 26 September 1973 ■ ’ ' . If Dandes were a mere marginal idiot, his warped logic might be less of a concern; but Dandes claims to lead the SA, He boasts that he will do everything he can to obstruct Student Association participation in the proposed campus-wide Teach-In Against Racism being organized by Progressive Labor Party and other members of the University community. Dandes has clearly sided with the racist forces on this campus. We feel confident, however, that the body of the SA will vote to support the Teach-In and repudiate Dandes racist mis-leadership. Progressive Labor Party �J Outside ookkig In by Clem Colucci Correction In Monday’s The Spectrum, the new Undergraduate Library was described as having 38.000 books.

I give you my personal backed guarantee, by a losing million-dollar lottery ticket and a slave-wage stipend, that the corporation will give you quick dividends and excellent long-term growth potential. The corporation? Watergate Enterprises, Inc. We will provide a host of Watergate-related goods and services absolutely sure to sell as soon as you provide the capital. Here’s a partial listing of what we plan to make available to the public: - To the Editor. It contains all of Senator Sam’s favorite Biblical quotations and a guide to their most effective use. The book is handsomely illustrated with pictures of the creation, Moses receiving the Ten Commandments, the Resurrection and Uncle Sam himself. The companion volume does the same for Shakespeare and is also abundantly illustrated. As a special bonus, a copy of the United States Constitution is included. 4) Autographed pictures of Howard Baker : Need we explain? 5) The English Language Institute: ELI specializes in teaching English as a foreign language to Presidential Press Secretaries and other bureaucrats. Now they too can learn to speak plainly to the American people. Cut those “inoperatives,” prune those “points in time,” leam the joys of clear, simple, honest English. 6) But, if you don’t want to get your ideas or lack of them across to the public, the place for you is the Communication Obfuscation Institute. If you want cover stories to limit secret knowledge to those with “a need to know” (of course we know you don’t lie), keep the Credibility Gap open wide with COI’s expert Ron Zeigler, A1 instruction. We get the best Geneen, Jerry Freidheim, the Department of Defense and the CIA provide top-notch faculty. Learn bureaucratese, newspeak, doublethink and any other language. Essential for success in modem government and major corporations. 7) Watergate Kiddie Kostumes: Sam Ervin eyebrows and jolws, H.R. Haldeman wigs great for Hallowwen. 8) John J. Wilson’s Book of Ethnic Etiquette'. From the man who taught Spiro Agnew all he knows about “Fat Japs.” 9) Nude, full-color posters of Maureen (Mrs. John) Dean. 10) Security Real Estate Developers: Nothing protects like a new swimming pool (heated so you don’t catch cold). Enclose it so stray seagulls can’t accidentally drop clam shells on you. And new shrubbery will make it that much harder for potential assassins, who manage to sneak through miles of empty beach; to see you. Wall-to-wall carpeting will protect the Presidential neck from falls on dangerous throw-rugs. And don’t worry about money.

Putting that great comic talent in prime time will draw even bigger audiences a bonanza for advertisers and a pile to be made for anyone who owns a piece of big Tony. The show will feature the exploits and misadventures of a New York City detective, frolicking around the country on fantastically funny secret missions for the mysterious “Man in the White House.” This warm, funny, Damon Runyonesque character will delight audiences with his rough charm, ready wit and uncanny ability to make the most outlandish plot lines believable. We are currently negotiating with Norman Lear, producer of the smash hit All in the Family series to produce this boffo product. 2) Cupid’s Cut-Rate Honeymoon Service: Why pay more the second time around? Cupid’s Cut-Rate Honeymoon Service offers inexpensive honeymoons for repeat performances. Now you can go a second round with connubial bliss for less.

Prices will not exceed $4850. 3) The Senator’s Bible and A Statesman’s Guide to Shakespeare Sam Ervin fans and who isn’t one? will appreciate this two-volume set of books when the hearings continue. The Senator’s Bible is an abridged and annotated version of that best-seller, the King James Bible. 1) I read with amusement your editorial of September 9 entitled Detente and Repression. Through the past IS years, the U.S. has seen a protest of disgust and condemnation of the U.S.S.R.’s treatment of its Jewish citizens culminating in the Jackson Amendment, the second time this situation has occurred in American History. The first was at the turn of the century when the U.S. cancelled a trade agreement with the Czarist Russian government because of the mistreatment oif Russian Jews. Would it be reasonable to renew trade - — relations with the U.S.S.R. when these same relations were broken off because of Russia’s mistreatment of several minorities, when even casual observation indicates no substantial change? Surely 60 yeah is enough time in which to solve a problem of such monumental proportions. May I remind you that no more than two years ago, the U.S. and the U.S.S.R. engaged in lengthy discussions both on a formal diplomatic level and an informal economic level, resulting in a massive American effort that kept the Russian peasants from starvation. During the time of deliberation, a major topic of compromise was that of the formal political treatment of Jews and other minorities by the 0 Communist government, As you. m«y recall, Pravda (the official .Comitiuqist. newspaper) maintained a consistent stance on equality for all of Russia’s people*; Even Premier Kosygin has good friends tint are Jewish (see Montreal 1971). It was leaked by Western correspondents at that time that there' was a noticeable relaxation of visa restrictions and the like for Jewish petitioners. Isn’t it significant to note that immediately following the wheat subsidy agreements of 1971 and 1972, stringent travel restrictions were again imposed. You say that the U.S. should give the U.S.S.R. the trade status it requests without any attendant conditions. If one were to look at the record carefully, one would find that the Soviet Union is not to be trusted in entering into any agreements without a binding stipulation. They will not be sensitive to what the people say once the U.S. government says go ahead and trade without restriction and the ink dries on the dotted line. In conclusion, I would like to say that an education in International Political Science might be useful before you judge any future detentes leading - — : Wednesday, 26 September 1973 Vol. 24.

Offensive review Solving Corporate Confusion To the Editor: To the Editor I am writing this letter as an attempt to release some of the anger which engulfed me upon reading Norman Salant’s review of Art Garfunkel’s album in the September 21 issue of The Spectrum. As a gay person, I found his attitude towanis homosexuality in the review disgusting and offensive. Why does a man “preserve his integrity” by refusing to have sex with another man (which is what the reviewer unmistakably implied)? Cannot a person engage in homosexual acts and also be a person of integrity? Why should one be “embarrassed” to “be caught” listening to a singer who has sexual relations with members of his own sex (whether or not Art Garfunkel fits this description is irrelevant here)? Sexism and homophobia (the fear of homosexuality in oneself and/or others) are entrenched in our society and serve specific functions—Perhaps Norman Salant felt more “Uke a a {f« w ntln « a ? vle 1 wh«* P“ 4 down u the Arts Editor and Editor-in-Chief the fag.

Beginning Monday, unless the courts intervene It will be illegal to buy massive doses of vitamins A and D without a prescription. Heavy doses of vitamins are favored by some health food advocates, and many health food stores sell them. But the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), which is imposing the new ban, says the large doses are “clearly dangerous” unless taken under a doctor’s supervision. FDA says too much vitamin D can cause retarded mental and physical growth in children, and too much vitamin A can lead to pressure on the brain that can mimic the symptoms of a brain tumor. FDA is putting even more sweeping vitamin controls into effect at the end of the year. At least 10 lawsuits have been filed against the latest order.

In includes the five judgeships of the STudent Judiciary to hear appeals several Appellate Tribunals set up by the Student Judiciary to hear appeals, and the Inter-Residence Judiciary. The initial creation of the Student Judiciary took place in the late 1950’s, under the authority of the now-defunct Board of Governors. ‘Tt was a landmark step,” said Dr. Stein, “because it provided for trial of students by their peers” in matters relating to the University rules and regulations. Unlike the old <hys Since then, however, “the University has changed,” said Dr. Stein. He cites four factors which • - vOMBUS 7*4 —continued from Student- Wide Judiciary - DON'T BE DISAPPOINTED MAKE HOLIDAY RESERVATIONS EARLYl ... led to the obsolescence of the current Student Judiciary. “Number one, the University has grown in size. Second, we have become a graduate school. Thirdly, Millard Fillmore College has begun to take a more active role in the University. And fourth, there is a general' movement toward increased student governance.” The Student Judiciary was originally created to serve the 5,000 undergraduate students of a small private college, the University of Buffalo, in the late 1950’s.

The SjMctnun Wednesday, 26 September'1973 . . - 874-3372- EMPIRE CARD - BANKAMERICARD �■ Corporate power in Chile linked to Attended fall Editor’s Note: The following is the first of a two-fart commentary on the reasons for the downfall of the Allende government in Chile. The authors, George Robbins, Bill Covington, Paul Richmond and Vicki Rauch, compiled the research for Social Science College 425. This section deals with the relationship between American corporations and Chile. It is no secret that US. many corporations had enourmous investments in Chile when Salvador Allende was elected president in 1970. One of the biggest investments was International Telephone and Telegraph, which is now the 8th largest U.S. corporation with over 1300 subsidiaries. The Senate Subcommittee on Multinational Corporations of the Senate Relations Committee heard Foreign testimony from John A. McCone this spring; He testified that ITT has offered $ 1 million to high Nixon Administration officials to help finance the overthrow of the Popular Unity Government because that government wanted to make Chile independent of U.S. imperialism. Mr. McCone said that when he was head of the Central Intelliegence Agency, he had received similar offer5 from other corporations. Mr. McCone even said that he thought that ITT’s proposal conformed with U.S. government policy. These statements are most significant and revealing because Mr. McCone was not only Director of the U.S. Central Intelligence Agency, but also a director of ITT. Corporate spokesman Mr. McCone’s connections with the heights of the American economic and political structure are extensive. He was a chairman of tfye Atomic Energy Commission and Undersecretary of the Air Force. McCone Enterprises have built refineries for Standard Oil of California, Standard Oil of New Jersey (both Rockefeller controlled), and many other corporations. It is clear that Mr. McCone is a spokesman for top corporate interests. The Central Intelligence Agency submitted a plan to ITT in 1970 for creating economic chaos for Chile. A letter from ITT Vice President Edward Gerrity to ITT President Harold Geneen said that banks should not renew credits, that US. companies should drag their feet in sending money and making deliveries, and that America should withdraw technical help. Senate Subcommittee sources said that they had sheafs of documents on the ITT-CIA collaboration to create chaos. Commentary For a long time, the Central Intelligence has been behind an effort to subvert Chile’s labor unions and deter their goal of gaining control over the means of production. With the support of the AFL-CIO, the U.S. monopolists founded the American Institute for Free Labor Development (AIFLD) in 1962. The AIFLD helped set up a program to indoctrinate Chilean unionists with the idea of “responsible” unionism or bread and butter unionism. Chairman of the AIFLD is J. Peter Grace of W.R. Grace and Company (Rockefeller controlled). Charles Brinckerhoff, until recently president of Anaconda, is one of the other corporate executives on the AIFLD. Anaconda (Rockefeller controlled) has made 80% of its profits in Chile. George Meany is also one of the heads of the AIFLD. In August 1969, Senator Fulbright revealed that AIFLD funds, including those budgeted for 1970, came to $28 million. Corporations backing AIFLD are W.R. Agency Grace, Rockefeller Foundation, ITT, Pan American World Airway* (all Rockefeller controlled); Kennecott, Standard Oil of Jersey, Anaconda {Rockefeller New controlled); Crown Zellerbach, General Foods (Rockefeller controlled); Union Carbide, United Fruit, Monsanto (Rockefeller controlled); Sinclair Oil, Cyanimid, Coming Glass (Rockefeller controlled);and many more. The copper companies made a profit of 26% in Chile. The original American investment in copper mining was $3.5 million, yet millions of profits have been taken out of Chile to the U.S. Chilean capitalists have strong bonds with U.S. international monopolists. Date on SO top Chilean corporations show that the top executives have a multitude of direct and indirect links to foreign corporations. For example, Edwards Eastmen was the president and top stockholder of the Chilean International Basic Economy Corporation (Rockefeller controlled). Eastman owns 20% of a Ralston-Purina subsidiary. Ralston-Purina is also Rockefeller controlled. Edwards Eastman was past president of the Inter-American Press Association. After the election of Allende, Edwards Eastman fled from Chile to become a vice-president of the Rockefeller controlled Pepsi Cola Company. American foreign aid went to Chile prior to the Allende government, but was largely cut off during the Allende reign. The U.S. controlled Export-Import Bank gave a loan to Chile during the Prei Administration for expanding copper production, but with the election of Allende cut off loans to Chile. Washington moved to block the Export-Import Bank credits, by a vote of Congress in 1970, as soon as it became clear Allende would be confirmed as President. The Inter-American Development Bank has not given any large loan to Chile since Allende became president. The U.S. government supplies three-fourths of the capital for the Inter-American Development Bank and has virtual veto power over Inter-American Development Bank Loans. But during the Allende Government, the UJS. gave over $12 million specifically to the Chilean military, but not to be used as aid to thc Allende government. Mr. Allende made many significant changes in Chile during his three years. In the first nine months of his government, Mr. Allende raised wages 60%, while freezing most prices. The resulting rise in purchasing power created a tremendous rise in the demand for consumer goods and services. The government ordered most industries to produce at full capacity to meet this demand. As a result, indistrual production was 35% higher in the first five months of 1971 than in the same period in the previous year. The government limited inflation. Mr. Allende nationalized many foreign and domestic corporations. The government purchased 19 of the country’s 26 banks. It nationalized copper, nitrates, >■ coal mines, most of the textiled, iron, autos, and telegraph companies. The government purchased a subsidiary of Bethlehem Steel so that the nation’s second most valuable export was largely in Government hands. It nationalized the U5. controlled companies of Anaconda and Kennecott. Copper accounts for 80% of Chile’s export earnings. From all of this we can see that the Rockefellers and their allies had every reason to want Allende overthrown. j Madrigal Singers cometh The Metropolitan Opera Madrigal Singers will be performing in Baird Recital Hall on Sunday, September 30 at 3 pjn.

They were shut out by all three opponents. At least five runners from each of the other three schools finished ahead all the Buffalo team. Syracuse won the meet handily, shutting out everyone else, as the first five, and eight of the first nine finishers were Orangemen. Niagara beat out U of R for second place. Buffalo was paced by senior Bruce Tuttle who finished 28th in the field of 49. The Buffalo trackmen did not run in a group as they had done last week. After the first mile resulted in theBulls bringing up the rear, the “togetherness” strategy which coach Jim McDonough has stressed all season was discarded, and each runner tried to make up the lost ground alone.

He said, “Well just keep abreast of our workouts and tty to bring ourselves to a peak in October and then carry it right on through to the state championships. The Bulls have their next meet tomorrow against Fredonia and Cleveland State at Fredonia. Bob Curtis, Bob Cohen and Paul Carroll, three key Bull runners who missed Saturday’s race, should be running tomorrow. As a result, McDonough is fairly optimistic and he hopes to beat Geveland State, but he isn’t guaranteeing anything. He observed: “It’ll be rough against those two.” i I ■ *<a ’ Soccer dry weather. ‘The quicker this is a memory, the better,” observed a Syracuse runner before the race. - rV remarked Esposito. “Sure, we’ye got one or two guys that are aggressive, but the team as a whole has got to show more aggressiveness.” by Dave Hnath Spectrum Staff Writer “They took twice as many shots as us, and they beat us. It’s as simple as that,” assessed Buffalo soccer coach Sal Esposito after the Bulls’ season opener last Saturday. The Bulls dropped a 5-2 decision to the Syracuse Orangemen at Rotary Field. “I don’t think our guys played, as a unit,” observed Esposito. “We didn’t play. the ball like we’re capable of doing, and we didn’t take the opportunities offered to shoot.” The Bulls were outshot by a 26-13 margin, and most of their shots were right in the hands of Syracuse goalie Ken Strauss. Syracuse opened the scoring early in the first half, with Wayne Tompkins scoring from directly in front of Buffalo goalie Frank Daddarid. The Orangemen struck again, just five minutes later, as Jim Ryan tallied his first of three goals for the day. Both Syracuse goals were due in part to the Bulls’ lack of aggressiveness. “We’re lacking in the basics, and we’re not aggressive in going to the ball,” VETERANS ADVISORS Bulls break through The Bulls finally broke into the scoring column midway through the first half. Sophomore Jude Ndenge fired in a free kick from directly in front of the Syracuse goal to cut the Bulls deficit to one, but Buffalo was to come no closer. Syracuse entered the game with an 0-2 record. The victory-starved Orangemen exhibited much aggressiveness in continually beating theBulls to the ball. “We were hungry,” said Syracuse coach John Allen. “We lost two heartbreakers (to Ithaca and Rochester], and the boys really wanted to win this one.” The Bulls hosted Canisius yesterday, hoping to even their record at 1-1 before traveling to Ohio University Saturday. This game will be the season opener for the Bobcats, NCAA quarter-finalist in 1972, and the booters from Athens will be out to defend their national ranking. 9:00 a.m. - 5:00 p.m. Monday thru Friday 201 Harriman EVENINGS 7:00 p.m. Tuesdays & Wednesdays Hayes Annex A.

The match was moved indoors to the Four Seasons tennis courts when skies overcast threatened to postpone the contest. The courts were rented, so both teams had to conserve time. The teams agreed to play one set, eight-game matches and to shorten the pre-game warmups.

No. IB Monday, 24 Saptombar 1973 State University of New York at Buffalo UGL New library will cater solely to needs of undergraduates by Donald Levine Staff Writer Spectrum A brand new Undergraduate Library (UGL), completely separated from the Lockwood system, is scheduled to open in a few weeks. The doors were expected to open the first day of classes, but delays due to the late arrival of materials weren't foreseen. The new library will occupy half of Diefendorf Annex, which was renovated this past summer. For the first time in the Univeristy’s history, a separate library system will exist which caters solely to the needs of the undergraduate. In fact, this is the only library on campus where faculty will not have The UGL hopes to provide a better collection of books by monitoring the subject areas of undergraduate courses through instuctor’s book lists and the student demand. Wise allocations The limited funds available were “wisely concentrated” in the reference area to produce a highly workable system, stated Yorim Szekely, head of the UGL. All 38,00 volumes except for those books on reserve will be easily accessible and subject to a short loan period of two weeks. Mr. Szekely hoped that this short loan period “will increase the contact between students and books.” The addition of 266 seats is expected to relieve some of the congestion noticed especially during exam times in Lockwood library. A lounge is alos set up and equipped with couches, club chairs, small tables and a carpeted floor. All furniture is brand new and “very confortable,” according to Mr. Szekely. ter Last semester the Faculty Senate and University President Robert Ketter approved the creation of the new UGL. The faculty was uiged to donate books and reading lists. Many books came from personal collections. The faculty of the History Department also made available many important undergraduate volumes. Unstructured borrowing William Allen, a professor of History who has been closely involved with the UGL, commented enthusiastically that Mr. Szekely’s ability to work with limited funds was the “right spirit” but that students should “keep up pressure” for the necessary funds. Most of the paperback books donated will appear on what Mr. Szekcly termed ‘The Browsing Shelf.” These books are free to be taken home and don’t have to be checked out. Students arc urged, however, to return some books to keep the shelf alive. A suggestion can be submitted. Mr. Szekely’s reply will be posted the next day on the board. ‘This was done very successfully at UCLA,” he reports. Conditions are still expected to be crowded until' the Amherst facility opens up (the ground-breaking ceremony is scheduled for November). The Amherst UGL is expected to occupy two floors of the proposed library with more than 115,000 volumes and 1300 seats. An audio room and a records-and-tapes library are also to be included. The Amherst library, however, won’t be ready, for mother three years. Until then, the Undergraduate Library in Diefendorf Annex will have to carry the load. —York Demand far excee ds supply by Mate Jacobson computer terminal in an expanded placement office.

Martel, Director of the Division of Student Affairs, the faculty dislikes the placement center because “it smacks of vocation training... an anti-intellectual atmosphere.” Mr. Burke responded by saying that the academicians at this school often fail to realize that not everyone comes to this school merely for the knowledge obtained. “Education for the sake of education is fine,” he said, “but if you want to eat, you have to consider that education is not the end-all... there are no jobs.” Time is miniscule ONIy Dr. Fink has a respectable counselor-student ratio, Mr. Burke said.

He emphasized that this was merely a stop-gap measure, though: one that would also have to be expanded because of the additional students that will be living on the new campus and the overall growth of the campus population. �Life Workshops A chance to heat alienation the idea for the workshop, and together with someone from the Life Workshop Coordinating Committee, designs the workshop itself, deciding on the appropriate format and the number of people needed to make it successful.

The Life Workshops at the University were originally formed as an experimental program for the summer session of 1972. The program has since expanded, encompassing a wide variety of areas from cooking to bicycles to human sexuality. Participation in a workshop is on a voluntary, non-credit, low committment basis. Although registration is necessary to join a workshop, this does not mean that you must come to every meeting. Attendance is not mandatory; you go only when and if you want to.

Executive Director Steve Blumenkrantz proposed a new structure for operating Sub-Board in the event that if student fees cease to be mandatory, there wuold no longer be a guarantee of direct funding from student governments. Mr. Blumenkrantz called for a set fee, to be either pre-paid by the students, making them non-voting members of Sub-Board and entitling them to reduced admissions for all Sub-Board activities. This system would have many advantages, he explained, because it would give Sub-Board a fairly income, make secure Sub-Board more relevant to the students, arid would virtually politics from eliminate Sub-Board’s operations. The Board will decide the issue at its next meeting on October 11. Healthcare In other business, Dave Saleh, Division Director of the Sub-Board Search Committee, proposed a Health Care Division composed of a birth control clinic, pregnancy counseling service, health insurance program, and a new clinical lab. The division will be managed by a program director, repsohsible for research and planning of health-related activities; a division manager who will handle all fiscal matters; a Board of Directors, and an advisory board. Mr. Saleh’s recommendation that Richard Hochman assume the position of divison manager was approved. One member of Pregnancy Lynn Counseling, Gottlieb, questioned Sub-Board as to why her organization was not consulted in the selection of a program director and division manager. Members ofS ub-Boardreplied that advertisements for both jobs appeared in The Spectrum during the summer and they could not wait-until the fall semester to look for candidates. Ms. Gottliebalso inquired about the medical qualifications of the candidates under consideration. Sub-Board pointed out that these executives will not make policy but simply carry it out, and therefore do not require an extensive medical background. proposals Similar were mentioned for the restructuring of the University Union Activities Board (UUAB), and Walt Behnke was appointed as temporary director until Mr. Blumenkrantz and Business Manager Lester Goldstein make further reports. TheSpectrum criticized Finally, Mr. Goldstein cirticized Spectrum coverage of The Sub-Board’s recent financial difficulties. He asked for a retraction from The Spectrum which has “persisted in claiming that Norton Hall would be closed within hours” during Sub-Board’s financial “crisis,” according to Mr. Goldstein. He claimed The Spectrum reporters entered in the and meeting middle of a misconstrued what was said. Additionally, he felt The Spectrum misinterpreted Mr.Blumenkrantz’s memo, which threatened to shut down Sub-Board’s operations if it did not receive allocations from several constituent student governments. The “If Spectrum was independent they would have had their first libel suit,” said Mr. Goldstein. In response <o these allegations, Editor-in-Chief of The Spectrum Howie Kurtz said: “Mr. Goldstein called me down and asked me if I would consider canceling the next and day’s Spectrum The substituting a four-page issue." When Mr. Kurtz refused, Mr. Goldstein informed him that following that issue Sub-Board would only have enough money for a once-a-week, four-page The Spectrum and no Ethos. According to Mr. Kurtz, “That seems about as immediate as you can get. No mention was made of waiting a week before this action would take effect.” Mr. Kurtz added that Mr. Goldstein did tell him that pay Sub-Board would all contractual obligations for all its organizations but would not approve any new expenditures, and added that he would wait one week before releasing all of Sub-Board’s 210 employees who were not under contract. ‘SummerhilV showing A new spirit of excitement has permeated the Inter-Residence Council Businesses (IRCB) this year in reaction to a carefully-planned, structural reorganization. “We are here only to serve students and now we feel that we can do a much better job,” exclaimed Elliot Mandel, President of IRCB. Incorporated in 1971 for legal and tax reasons, IRCB has been continually hampered by problems. A series of reforms have been implemented this year which will hopefully eliminate a substantial portion of their difficulties. The position of IRCB director, formally held by one person, will now be handled by four. Mr. Mandel will set policy, which will be carried out by Comptroller Neil Raynor, who is in charge of all fiscal matters; Grocery Division Manager Geoff Levin, who is responsible for the grocery stores; and Auxilary Service Manager Fred Spivak, who handles bicycle rentals,, vacation air flights and refrigerator rentals for IRC members began this past Wednesday in Clement Hall. Rentals will soon be available on the North Campus as well. During the hours of 12 to 8 p.m. on Monday through Friday and 9 a.m. to 8 p.m. on Saturday and Sunday, a total of 20 bikes will be rented at a rate of $.60 for the first hour and $.15 for each additional IS minutes. Even though reaction to this service has been excellent, IRCB plans to review the operation during the winter to determine if any changes can be made to improve it. rentals. New unity Mr. Mandel feels that as a result of this new organization, IRCB is experiencing a unity that was never present before. Rather than having different managers doing as they please, everyone will now be responsible for carrying out set policy. Now, claims Mr. Mandel, “IRCB will be able to handle changes in administrations more easily and therefore add the badly needed continuity from year to year.” Mr. Mandel added that in the past, IRCB was a “victim of lack of planning.” This has slowed the opening of the new Grub and bike rentals in Amherst as well as the establishment of a new IRC office which opened only this past Wednesday in Goodyear Hall.

The idea, said Mr. Dandes, came to him at last Thursday’s Sub-Board I meeting when he realized “how ridiculous it was that student governments were not interacting.” ‘The communication and cooperation which could be derived from such a venture is infinite,” said Mr. Dandes in a memo to Monte Janson, President of the Graduate Student Association. He pointed out that student governments “at some time or another deal with similar problems,” noting that student leaders as a body “could legally, if not practically, speak for all students." Mr. Dandes noted that reaction to the Council has been favorable although the idea has never been tried. Jeff Samek, SA Director of Public Information, praised the concept as “an attempt to deal collectively with problems previously met by each President on an individual basis.” Money 1 for vets University receives first federal grant programs; 1) a program of “peer wherein veterans advisement” Spectrum Staff Writer would serve as counselors to other the various problems they A recently-awarded grant of vets on by Joe Pavone $112,598 is the first federal aid for veterans ever received by the State University of Buffalo. According to Clarence Dye, director of Financial Aid for Vtterahs, this grant will now make it possible to implement many programs for vets now on the drawing board. With a veteran population of over 3,000, SUNYAB is one of the largest universities in the nation to receive such s grant, and ranks ninth in terms of total vet population. Citing last year’s statistics, Mr. Dye noted that a very high percentage of the University’s vets attend Millard Fillmore College, but he expected a shift this semester into the undergraduate division. ' ' i ’ ■ Although the Univesrity has no open admissions policy for vets, it does have a preference system whereby veterans are given a small break on average for admission. When asked what their major problem was, Mr. Dye replied: “Most vets, if they do suffer any social problems, suffer from P.VJJ.: post-Vietnam syndrome.” Mr. Dye went on to explain the “syndrome” as the situation the vet encounters when he reurns -home, where he is condemned by half the people for going to Vietnam in the first place and by the other half for not winning the war. Mr. Dye noted, however, that he detected a less violent social posture among returning vets than in the past. New programs Acording the Mr. Dye, the new grant will fund the following encounter; 2) community outreach and recruitment, a program designed to contact veterans presently no in school, in order to place them in in schools that fit their ability; and 3) a plan whereby veterans in the Veterans Hospital would be permitted to take courses for college credit at their own speed, without having to leave the hospital (presumably the method of teaching used would be tutorial), largest universities in the nation to receive such a grant, and ranks Mr. Dye stressed the importance of re-exposure to education when he said: “This program will give the veterans a taste of college, and a notion of how to study.” Moreover, Mr. Dye spoke of a job reference service for vets that will enable them to seek out jobs consistent with their experience. Mr. Dye said he was “excited” the grant and the opportunities it offered and stated that the Univesrity would now have the finest veteran program in the nation. He added that any vet with a question or problem should contact him in his office in 201 Harriman Library. about . Jon Dandes . -Students- yCf L. _ Ja A fjm A / j&iruf.

M203 M �Seneca Indians secede from the United States Indians at the Cattaraugus Indian Reservation in Erie. County have declared themselves to be a sovereign state, independent of federal and New York State law. Meredith M. Quinn, self-proclaimed spokesman and legal advisor to the Seneca Nation, released a statement entitled. The Declaration of the Seneca Indian People. In this statement he listed the various grievances of the Seneca, and explained the legal basis for his decision. Mr. Quinn dted Public Law 88-533, which Congress passed in 1964 in support of his action. The law was aimed at bringing an end to “federal supervision over the property and affairs of the Indian nations and its members," he said. According to Mr. Quinn, the law said the Indians would not be eligible for U.S. citizenship until they had completed 40 years of tribal abandonment. He also said the law permits the Indians to take legal action to declare themselves free of government control. Mr. Quinn said he took it upon himself to exercise this prerogative when he issued the Declaration. Seneca First attempt The attempt by the Seneca to have themselves recognized as a sovereign, state is the first such move to be taken by any of the nation’s Indians. There is no legal precedent for such an action and it is unclear how the courts will react to such a move. Mr. Quinn referred to himself as the “De Facto Legal Advisor” the Seneca jpeople,.However, Dot all of the 4600.1nd»nS at the Qatarrau gus Reservation supported his moves. In fact, the legal governing bbdy of the Reservation, the Tribal Council, has recognized neither Mr. Quinn nor his Declaration. Winifred Kettle, Council clerk, claimed that Mr. Quinn had not been retained by the Council in any capacity and that he represented a faction of only 48 Indians. The Council spoke for many of the older members of the community when it voiced fears that the peaceful atmosphere of the reservation might erupt into violence as was the .case at Wounded Knee, South Dakota. A 9>ecial meeting was called for last friday to allow the many differences of opinion to be expressed. Council President Dean V. Williams stated: “Not a single Counselor was in sympathy with Mr. Quinn’s group.” Several of the residents at Catarraugus have accused him of trying to stir up trouble with false threats of loss of tribal land to local townships. Community and Reservation leaders are determined to prevent any violent outbreaks. No roadblocks have been set up around the Reservation, and as of now, there are no plans for taking defensive measures. Mr. Quinn indicated that the Indian lands would be defended if any attempt was made to occupy m. The speculation is plentiful As conjecture about the possible resignation of which they could bind Mr. Nixon to the selection of President Spiro Agnew becomes more a “non-presidential” candidate, nor to enforce a a widespread, speculation possible pledge from that candidate that he would not run about replacement has increased. for President in 1976. Democratic leaders The 25th amendment gives a President with a in the House of Representatives have reportedly made plans to insist Congressional majority the opportunity to name a that a vice presidential successor pledge not to seek successor who can carry on his policies. But with a election as President in 1976, should Mr. Agnew Watergate-weakened President Nixon confronting a resign before his term expires. Any successor Democratic-controlled Congress, it appears unlikely nominated by the President must be approved by a that the Chief Executive could win approval of any majority vote of both Houses of Congress, in nominee who seems to be a potential Republican accordance with the 2Sth amendment to the candidate for the Presidency in 1976. Reports have Constitution which provides for filling a vice circulated in recent weeks that the White House has presidential vacancy. “We’re not going to be a party been working on a “contingency list” of possible Vice to picking somebody who is going to run against us three years from now,” said one Democratic official. The Bureau of Indian Alt airs has increased its peacekeeping force at Catarraugus in anticipation of trouble. Local police, however, said they had not been notified of the Indian repudiation of state jurisdiction. It appears that the Tribal Council and Mr'. Quinn’s supporters will be allowed to work out their differences without outside interference. The U.S. Government has ignored Mr. Quinn’s demand that he be recognized as an Ambassador from the Seneca Nation and continues to deal with the problem through the Bureau of Indian Affairs.

Agnew resignation? - (office. STUDENT ASSEMBL Y MEETING Indictments uncertain The increased speculation intensified when the Washington Post quoted a senior Republican figure as saying he was “99)4 per cent certain” that Mr. Agnew would resign, probably within a week. The man said he spent four hours with the Vice President last week trying to talk him out of his decision. Mr. Agnew, who is under investigation for alleged bribery, extortion and tax law violations, refused comment on the Post story. Attorney General Elliot Richardson has sent the evidence in the Vice President’s case to a Baltimore grand jury, which must decide whether to issue any indictments. Mr. Richardson must ultimately approve a decision to issue any indictments, and must further grapple with the issue of whether a sitting Vice President can be indicted without first being impeached. Mr. Agnew’s supporters believe that the White House, with President Nixon’s concurrence, is actively campaigning to force the Vice President’s resignation. ‘They’re out to get the Vice President,” said one Agnew supporter who believes the Post story was “inspired” by the White House. Mr. Nxon has been guarded in his support of Mr. Agnew, claiming “complete confidence”; in him during the time he has been Vice President. The investigation, however, centers on Mr. Agnew’s years in Maryland politics prior to the 1968 election. Non-presidential person If Mr. Nixon should be required to select a new Vice President, said Robert Strauss, chairman of the Democratic National Committee, he should avoid a “tricky, treacherous situation’’ by choosing a “non-presidential” person. Democratic leaders have acknowledged that there is no legal method by successors should Vice President Agnew resign. White House spokesman Gerald Warren has repeatedly denied the existence of any such list. List of names Names most frequently mentioned as possible successors have included former Texas Governor John Connally, Gov. Nelson Rockefeller of New York, Gov. Ronald Reagan of California, Presidential advisor Melvin Laird, Attorney General Elliot Richardson, Sen. Barry Goldwater of Arizona and Sen. Hugh Scott of Pennsylvania. Of this group, candidates like Senators Goldwater and Scott would probably have a relatively easy time with Congress since they are not prospective candidates for 1976, while someone like Mr. Connally, whose name is made no secret of his frequently invoked, political aspirations. There is one more factor in the speculation. Although most political observers have come to regard President Nixon’s impeachment as politically unlikely. Congress might stir in that direction if Mr. Nixon were to refuse to obey a Supreme Court order to turn over the Watergate tapes. Senators Edward Kennedy and George McGovern, among others, have said Congress would have “no choice” except to initiate impeachment proceedings if Mr. Nixon were to defy tlie High Court. Should this come to pass, a new vice president who was publicly regarded as Presidential material might make the process more politically feasible, while a weaker candidate would likely strengthen Mr. Nixon’s position. This is all speculation at this point, of course, and everything hinges on whether Mr. Agnew actually resigns or not. Most White House insiders feel he would resign if indicted, but would attempt to fight it out if he can avoid an indictment. The investigating Baltimore grand jury is expected to begin hearing evidence in the Agnew case this week or next.

Eleven thousand applications for freshman admission were received by the Office of Admissions and Records this year. Of these, 57% were eventually accepted. The selection is made through a three-step process: First, all the applicants are rank-ordered by their percentage rank in their graduating class. Applicants from the eight western-most counties in the state had to be in the top 10% of their graduating class to be accepted, while applicants from outside this area had to be in the top 7% to gain acceptance in this step. Forty-five per cent of the freshman class was admitted due to their rank on the “Step One” chart. Regents important In the second step, the remaining applicants were ranked by a composite of their academic average and scores on uniform tests. The Regents Scholarship Examination is most commonly used. Approximately 50% of the new freshman class was accepted due to a high composite rating on this chart. In the last possible way to be accepted, the remaining applicants were arranged by absolute numerical rank in their respective classes. This was done to allow students from small schools an opportunity to gain admittance. The last 5% of the freshman class were accepted due to a high position on this chart. Editor’s note: This is the Step Two acceptance table for this year’s freshman class. Students who were not accepted on the basis of their percentile rank in their class are next evaluated in this table through a composite of their high school average and Regents Scholarship Exam Score. STEP n ACCEPTANCE TABLE September 1973 Freshman Class High School Average Recents Scholarship Examination Score Western New York applicants encounter slightly less stringent acceptance standards than other applicants. Myron A. Thompson, coordinator of Transfer Student Admissions, said the Admissions Office tries to “realize a committment to the Western New York area.” Half the freshman class is from the eight western-most counties in the state. Race and religion are not factors in the admissions program, according to Dr. Thompson. Teachers’ recommendations are “generally” not used in the acceptance process and athletic ability is only rarely a factor, he said, tries to “realize a commitment to the Wastern New York area.” 90.5 Admissions policy originates in the Faculty-Senate Admissions Committee. The committee, headed by Edward J. Hovorka, is about to start deliberating about next year’s admissions policy. Next year’s policy will be affected by the opening of 3200 additional beds in the complex on the North Campus. Dr. Hovorka could not be reached for comment on the impact of this extra dorm space.

In the next couple of weeks. Congress will consider a vital trade bill regarding the granting of "most-favored-nation" status, or the lowest available tariff rates, to the Soviet Union. There is significant sentiment in Congress, led by Sen. Jackson, to link the trade agreements with Russia to freedom of travel, i.e., the unrestricted right of Jews and others to emigrate freely from Russia. Secretary of State Henry Kissinger has argued for unhampered normalization of trade, contending that linkage of trade to emigration could create problems in the Kremlin and might lead to worsened conditions for Jews. While admitting great concern over the current Soviet repression during questioning by the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, Or. Kissinger has argued against direct governmental interference in Soviet affairs: ‘There is a limit on how much we can influence the domestic structure of other nations." On the other hand, critics contend, outside pressures would probably strengthen our bargaining hand and the Soviet Union's willingness to compromise. The basic philosophical question, then, is this: Should the United States press for internal Soviet reforms by linking trade and technology agreements to a freer flow of people and ideas? Or should the U.S. avoid interference in Soviet affairs and hope that a successful relaxation of Rage eight. The Spectrum Monday, international tensions will improve the lot of Soviet citizens in the long run? Let us examine this from a different perspective. Suppose the Soviet Union were to refuse to continue arms negotiations in the SALT talks until America ended racial discrimination by completing desegregation of its school system? Our reaction would certainly be one of outrage at such an attempt to meddle in our internal affairs. Additionally, how can the U5. adopt a morally righteous stance regarding internal reforms in the U.S.S.R. when we continue to support reactionary and repressive military regimes all around the world, notably in South Vietnam and Greece? What about repression right here at home? It would be totally wrong for the Congress to adopt such a self-righteous stance regarding AND, MIND A normalization of relations with the Soviet Union. Such an attitude would be politically unwise and actually counter-productive.

Sakharov I ‘This hurts me worse, than it does anyone by silence. you,” is a hypocrisy of the first order as is obvious , Since President Nixon went to Moscow in 1972, relations with the Soviet Union have moved out of the Cold War into an era called detente. Based on relaxation of international tensions, pledges to avoid nuclear war, and negotiations on nuclear arms limitation, trade and technology, and troop strength in Europe, the new era has been widely hailed as a major step toward peaceful coexistence. But the recent crackdown on dissidents in the Soviet Union has threatened to sidetrack detente and has caused many Americans to wonder whether our desire for peace has rendered us morally blind. Recent months have seen a dramatic rise in Soviet repression, beginning with a mock trial in which two dissidents were forced to recant in public, most recently through an intense campaign in the controlled Soviet press against its two most prominent dissenters: nuclear physicist Andrei D. Sakharov and novelist Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn. It was Mr. Sakharov who warned Western newsmen last month that detente wholly on Moscow's terms would provide the U.S.S.R. with much-needed Western technology and trade, while allowing them to further suppress human rights and become "armed to the teeth" behind a veil of domestic secrecy. Throughout the recent repression, not a single word has been uttered by President Nixon, a man who rose to political power on a hard-line anti-Communist platform. It is sickeningly clear that Mr. Nixon's silence is repayment for Moscow's low-key treatment of Watergate. The Administration's policy: tolerate anything inside Soviet borders in return for friendly U.S.-Soviet relations. Besides the moral abhorrence of this stance, we may find that technological and trade benefits for Moscow without the freer flow of people and ideas which the West is seeking may indeed yield an illusory detente. Fortunately, the Administration's silence is not all-pervading. The President of the National Academy of Sciences has warned Moscow that continued harassment of physicist Sakharov might lead American scientists to boycott joint. U.S.-Soviet projects. Members of Congress have been outspoken about Soviet repression: Senator Henry Jackson argues the Soviets are so desperate for Western technology that they will make - benefits of .to - team.

To the Editor: To the Editor: A recent letter from the Progressive Labor Party urged the cancellation of the speaking engagement of Lester B. Maddox, former governor of Georgia. In typically totalitarian fashion, the composer of this example of one-sided leftist polemical crap attacked the former Governor on the basis of his civil rights The letter by the Progressive Labor Party, appearing in Monday’s The Spectrum, is a sordid attempt to manipulate the free speech petition of the First Amendment. With respect to free speech, the call to cancel the Governor Maddox talk is ridiculous. Regardless of his political or social opinions, the Governor has the same right to speak at UB that anyone who wants to speak here, has. In fact his views are the reason why he was invited part of an attempt to present a differing opinion from what is generally espoused at UB. The suggestion that Maddox be given “the reception he deserves” and that “Death is too good for him” is dangerous and foolhardy and equally amends the peaceful assembly line of the First Amendment. It is irresponsible to the extent that it is more pervented than anything Governor Maddox could possibly say. In closing, the question of whether anyone agrees with him is of no importance whatsoever what is important is that he be allowed to speak. record. It is always amusing, nothing more, to observe the blatant hypbcricy that constitutes the rhetoric of leftist ideologies. While pretending to be spokesmen for causes which they lable the perpetual delemna of the “oppressed minorities,” these bleeding-heart totalitarians find it necessary to deprive thenopposition of constitutional guarantees. It’s a simple case of paranoia and insecurity brought on by the realization that their cause cannot survive without emotional propaganda and will not survive as long as people have a choice. Maddox’s “guilt” is that he seems to have the mistaken idea that an individual has the constitutional guarantee that he may protect his personal financial investment in business by catering to those whom he feels are inclined to be beneficial to his interests and whom he feels are representative of a clientel with which he chooses to do business. After all, it’s only his money, sweat and property. The ex-Govemor is “mistaken” in that the Supreme Court of 1964 ignored Constitutional intent and ruled in favor of liberal lobbies which represented only select civil interests. As you “organize” to give Maddox the reception which you will you do so with consideration of the rights of those who choose to hear him? I doubt it; you can’t afford to; too many might listen. You will, instead, continue to use those very tactics which you constantly oppose and label “Fascist.” ” Gary J. Doby - - JeffSamek Director of Public Information Student Association To the Editor. Monday’s editorial page (Spet. 17) saw a letter printed by the Buffalo chapter of the Progressive Labor Party demanding that Gov. Lester Maddox be denied his right to speak at UB on Nov.' 1st. The same week saw a letter in the opposite (?) extreme in Friday’s The Spectrum by a Mr. Joe McDougal condeming the PLP as degenerates, lowlifes, etc. I, for one, am not satisfied with either view, and neither, I think, are the majority of students on this campus. Editor’s note: The following is a letter sent to Sylvia Dick in response to their request that SA sponsor an October 24th teachin against racism. 1 will refer you to page eight of The Spectrum of Monday, September 17, 1973, and to the letter signed by the Progressive Labor Party entitled “Cancel Maddox.” 1 shall not Sign any requisition for funds regarding any teach-in, conference or meeting in co-sponorship with the Progressive Labor Party. Further, while the Executive Committee may do as it wishes, 1 will strongly suggest, and will so instruct Mr. Williams that Student Association shall not become party to the bigotry, prejudice and nearsightedness of the Progressive Labor Party. Jonathon A. Dandes President, Student Association Socialism or Concerning Lester Maddox: Being human, let alone black, he’s not on my hit parade, wither, but don’t you think it would be easier to let the man speak and see if he’s crazy enough to bring out any racism in the open; that students would see what the man is? Wouldn’t that help your cause of freedom better than constantly resorting to the fascism that you accuse your opponents of? Which brings me to Mr. McDougal. Mister: Yob gotta be kidding!!!! Look, isn’t it bad anough to have one group reacting as poor man’s Mussolinis? Do you have to come across as such too? To all sides: Don’t you know by now, the fate of those who believe that their way is the only way, and all others are inferior, perverted? That way lies madness, and if you don’t believe me, observe some of the high powers going mad even today. fascism To the Editor. The Spectrum of Friday, September 14, 1973, published a picture of two members of the Revolutionary Youth Movement (an organization established by the National Caucus of Labor Committees) holding a banner; “Liebowitz for Mayor, Valenti for Councilman, Buffalo Labor C’ttee.” At the left in the picture, taken at a U.S. Labor Party rally at the back of Norton Union, stands Phil Valenti, speaking into a bullhorn microphone. The Spectrum staff knows that the L.C. is the leading socialist organization in the U.S., fighting capitalist plans for a “planned depression” the recycling of human beings. We are campaigning in 9 electoral races around a program of expanded reproduction productive jobs for all made possible through taxing away capitalist incomes in the form of mortgages, debts, rents, wasteful production and speculation. Our organization is building the muscle for this job, to be accomplished in S years, by uniting unemployed, ghetto youth, welfare victims, organized and unorganized workers into a single fighting force with the competence to run the ■* economy. - - However, the spectre of a Paul Kurtz, U.C.RA. member and leading academic henchman of UB, looms too large for The Spectrum staff to report the L.C. rally “objectively.” They write a muddled, illiterate caption to the aforementioned picture, an obvious attempt at slander and distortion of the organizing activity taking place on this campus and in the city. Their hysteria and incoherence is the characteristic disease of liberals in a crisis period; it is further evidenced in The Spectrum by the printing of malicious, racist letters submitted by local fascists. Jon Dandes, who receives his orders from the Inhumanist philosophy professor, gives the staff its cues. The L.C. gives the liberals this choice; they may continue to ally with growing fascist movements in this period, in which case they will be destroyed. Or they can join or aid the growing socialist movement, now more empowered than ever to turn around the depression and consequent destruction of humanity. At this moment The Spectrum has chosen the former, and is running behind even the New York Daily News and th e Newark Star Ledger in reportage of socialist activity.

A nn Manasse National Caucus of Labor Committees Clock-watchers To the Editor: What’s the matter with the Bookstore check cashing “service”? Supposedly it closes at 4:30. Fine, if they held to that I wouldn’t have any complaints. But I went up there the other day .to cash a check at, by the Bookstore’s own clock, 4:30:30, 30 seconds past the deadline. When 1 ran up there I saw someone filling out a check. My own check was already fully made out and I would have been through,in no time at all. 1 was told to go away, but the other person would have her check cashed. Why was therule broken for one person and not the other? As anyone with any sense knows, there’s always a rush of business in the period just before and just after a deadline. Even so fascistic an organization as the Department of Motor Vehicles will not cause any trouble if you renew your licesne a day late. And could The Spectrum come out if you refused any stories that did not come in by deadline? On account of the dock-watching attitude in check cashing I couldn’t but groceries than night (with nothing in the house but a can of green beans and half a kosher salami), couldn’t go to the movies and had to pass up a quarter-ounce of hash. This is New York State and no one will hold anything anymore. Thank you for your time. Max G. Wilberforce Quality upheld To the Editor.

The report was based on a computerized study of addiction through the New York City narcotics register, which keeps track of all known addicts, Lindsay said. ‘The dramatic improvement evidenced by this report with the sharp decline in addiction since 1972 confirms the appropriateness of New York City’s approach to the addiction problem,” Lindsay said. The report noted that “during the first six months of 1972 and the corresponding period in 1973, the number of individuals reported to the register dropped by 30 per cent from 53,939 to Cooper. He estimated that 200,000 would attend compared to 600,000 that attended Watkins Glen and he asked the city council to place a tax on the admission tickets. Ingram said the festival would be a “non-polluting industry” that would be a “good thing for the economy down here.” “They (the concert-goers) would leave almost $5 million in Jasper County,” he said. ‘We could sure put up with a bunch of hippies for a weekend for that.” - - (from 4:30-8:30 PM) STEAK SPECIAL | iQtBEBB * * THE PACKET INN 7-11 PM MON &TUES * * Tender cut of flaverlul Choice Steak Baked Potato Crisp Green Salad Fresh Baked Roll ! with Butter $j.i9 37,5390.” ; (Re, $1.49) Buckley denounces Agnew case handling Sen.

By equaling par on the 349 yard hole, Fleischauer enabled Buffalo to defeat Canisius by a score of 470-471. Buffalo State and Syracuse trailed with rounds of 482 and 490 respectively. Fleischauer said: “Yes, I was aware that I had to sink the final shot” td protect the victory. Fleischauer, who indicated that he was very nervous, placed his third shot about S feet from the hole and tapped it in for the victory. The Bulls played their poorest match of the season. Jim Gallery, the Buffalo’s top performer. shot a three-over-par 73. This included a double bogey 6 on the eighteenth at Audubon. v Bulls coach Bill Dando was very disappointed by the Bulls play pn Wednesday. “You can’t expect to win tournaments shooting the way we did today,” the Bull mentor observed. However, ‘The Bulls always go down to-a tournament hoping to win,” Dando added. Dando would not comment on the Bulls chances at the Tri-state Tournament in Erie, Pennsylvania today. Buffalo State coach Don O’Brien noted that the usually consistent Bulls are tough at home T don’t know how much the home course advantage is worth but if you can have five or six players consistently in the seventies, it makes things tough” O’Brien said.

After crushing his opponent 6-4, 6-0, he said; ‘This is the best tennis I ever played in college.” Boardman also indicated he had his racket restrung, aiding his victory. The Bulls dropped all three doubles matches. After Mr. Boardman and Jeff Sepp were beaten in doubles play, Boardman remarked: “We just weren’t psyched up enough. It’s a different feeling when you go in there knowing you’ve lost the match.” (Buffalo was behind 5-1 as doubles play started, so it was impossible to win the match.) Rochester coach Peter Lyman was nevertheless impressed. He commented, “Buffalo is much improved.” Baschnagel likewise was impressed with Rochester. ‘IVcVe learned something here today,” he said. Buffalo hosts St. Bonaventure this afternoon at 3 p.m. before playing host to Buffalo State, Wednesday. by Paige Miler Staff Writer The tennis Bulls were beaten badly (8—1) by Rochester on Wednesday. The Bulls went into the match as the underdogs due to the fact Rochester perennially boasts a formidable squad. The loss was the first in three decisions for Buffalo. Rochester’s lineup included three freshmen and two sophomores, but their relative inexperience did not seem to hamper them. The Yellow Jackets’ top player, Bobby Fecora, defeated the Bulls’ Paul Parelli, 7-6, 6-4, in one of the few close matches of the afternoon. Pecora boasts an extremely strong serve, as well as a variety of shots. Buffalo coach Norb Baschnagel commented: ‘This kid (Pecora) can be beat if Parelli strokes well.” Later Baschnagel observed, ‘I’m gaining respect for him (Pecora) as I watch him more. He has all the shots.” Both players recorded an unusual number of aces, and there were very few long volleys. Buffalo’s lone victory belonged to junior A1 Board man. Boardman has easily defeated , .

The S v 24, No. 14 B ■ W0r Vbi • � ■ State University of New York at Buffalo Friday. 21 September 1973 druglaw cause of scarcity of campus supply New Editor’s note: This is the second part of a two-part series on the new drug law. This part deals with the law's impact on this campus. by Marc Jacobson City Editor Students at the State University of Buffalo have been directly affected by the enactment of New York’s new drug law. Quipped one frequent user: “Yeah, I’ve been affected; I can’t cop.” University students are experiencing problems similar to those of students at other campuses and non-student drug users. Many campus dealers have gone out of business as a result of the state’s new llaw. The New York Times reported. Apparently, caution is the watchword of the September drug user. Unlike this University, administrators at Columbia, Cornell, State University at Stony Brook and Syracuse have attempted to educate students about the new law, through advertising, poster displays and the formation of discussion groups. The New York State Drug Abuse Control Commission has also undertaken an educational program which emphasizes the treatment aspects of the jiew law. Anyone seeking treatment should call toll-free BOO-522-2193. Habits changing? ■- A sampling of the students in Norton Union’s Haas Lounge revealed that none were really affected by the new law, although all felt it was too severe. However, it is known that some students on this campus have changed their habits regarding the illicit use of drugs. Although supplies are scarce and penalties are harsher, students are still seeking to purchase drugs. The American Civil liberties Union feels the new law is reactionary. ‘It is a solution for people who have given up on solutions,” a spokesman said. “It is throwing a whole section of society into jail.” If the law were enforced to the letter, the spokesman explained, the courts would be flooded. » The fact that there is little traffic on the street is merely a short-term effect of the law, he said, adding: “From a human point of view, the law won’t work.” Campus Security at this University has not changed their policy because of the new law. They will continue to make arrests, but primarily for blatant offenses; marijuana is considered a low priority. Investigator Gerald Denny stated the Campus Security force attended a seminar on the new law Thursday, similar to the Police Department’s seminar. ’Wait and see’ Mr. Denny informed The Spectrum that the Security will continue to maintain close contact with Sunshine House, the University’s drug-related crisis center. Mr. Denny also feels that Campus Security will adopt a wait-and-see attitude about the new drug law '■ v The student Legal Aid Clinic in Norton Union has prepared a fact sheet about the new law, listing offenses and ranges of punishment for those convicted of drug offenses. Richard Tobe, who prepared the sheet, called the enactment of the law there’s a lot of garbage in there.” “a slipshod job in their haste to enact the law, the State Legislature inadvertently legalized hashish. However, following the discovery, the law was amended so that hashish would be illegal.

A critical point about the new drug law, Turning to extra-legal activity, Mr. Tube feels apparently widely misunderstood, is that the chances the amount of bribery will increase between police of getting caught are the same as before, except that and drug users to prevent an arrest.

This view was advanced by Donald Ross, director of the New York State PIRG and a former Nader Raider, during his visit to this campus Wednesday. Surprisingly aware of the confusion and politics surrounding the funding of WNYPIRG here, Mr. Ross offered some possible solutions to WNYPRIG’s funding difficulties. The best .solution, he said, would be to have a space on the tuition bill mailed to all students reserved for the three dollars. Students could check it off if they didn’t want to pay the extra money for WNYPIRG, thus relieving them of to fund the Western the burden of going to get a refund. contribution, WNYPIRG could not join the state-wide NYPIRG, Mr. Ross explained that it might Less than $3? be able to join with a smaller Aware lhal the future of the allocation. Regarding this $67 mandatory student fee itself alternative “not the best, but was in danger, Mr. Ross said given one we’d be willing to work with” he suggested a one-shot such a situation, he might prefer that the money for WNYPIRG be $20,000 allocation allowing allocated from the existing fee.

The vote in the House of Representatives Wednesday was 459 to 164 in favor of overriding the Presidential veto 23 votes short of the required — two-thirds. Despite strong lobbying by organized labor to reduce Republican opposition to the bill, Wednesday was the sixth consecutive time this year that Congress has failed to override a Nixon veto. The White House said President Nixon was gratified by the House action and called upon Congress to draft a new, more moderate, minimum wage bill. Prospects for Congressional action on such a bill this year are considered in doubt. Prior to this action, Buffalo Mayor Stanley Makowski came out strongly in favor of the Minimum Wage Bill. In an unsuccessful effort to muster support for the bill, Mayor Makowski sent a carefully-worded letter to U.S. Senators James Buckley and Jacob Javits and local Congressmen Thaddeus Dulski, Jack Kemp and Henry P. Smith. The Mayor’s letter cited many of the more salient features of the bill and pointed out the urgent need for reform in the minimum wage standard. He stated that the last federal wage was enacted in 1967 and set the minimum at $1.60. “Since that time,” he continued, “the cost of living has skyrocketed by 30%. An increase now to $2.00 an hour, and to $2.20 next year, would not even keep most low-paid workers abreast of increases in the cost of living.” Mixed reaction Mayor Makowski referred repeatedly to the plight of Buffalo’s lowest-paid workers. He noted that those workers earning the minimum wage “earn only $74 for a forty-hour week, or $3700 per year for a fifty-week year, an income below the official poverty level.” Reaction to the Mayor’s letter was mixed THE BIGGEST PARTY EVER! September 26, Buf. Mem. Aud. Tickets at Norton, U.B. The Spectrum is published three times a week, on Monday, Wednesday and Friday, during the regular academic year; and once a week, on Friday, during the summer months; by Sub-Board I, Inc. of the State University of New York at Buffalo. Offices are located at 355 Norton Hall, State University of New York at Congressman Thaddeus Dulski supported Mr. Makowski’s contention that an immediate increase in the minimum wage is necessary and indicated that he would vote to override the veto. Senator Jacob Javits voted in favor of the bill the first time, but his office was unwilling to make any statements concerning how the Senator would vote on the override. Representatives Kemp and Smith were opposed to the present bill but favored an earlier draft known as the Earlin-Vorn Substitute. Smith releases statement Congressman Smith released a statement announcing his intent to sustain the veto and outlining the various drawbacks of the bill. If enacted, the bill would have brought about an immediate increase of 37V4% in the minimum wage. Mr. Smith said he agreed with President Nixon’s contention that the bill would be inflationary. He went on to say that the effects would be widespread, “since the entire wage structure in many industries is tied to the minimum rate and would have to be adjusted by an equal magnitude.” The tarlin-Vorn Substitute was part of the original draft but was dropped last spring before coming to a vote in the Congress. The substitute was more specific in many areas than the current bill. It provided for lower wage rates for teenagers and full-time students, set up a separate category for domestic help, and excluded state and municipal employees from the minimum wage provisions. How much coverage? Supporters of the subtitute bill point out that extending minimum wage coverage to domestic help would have resulted in a drastic reduction in the job market for that group. It is their belief that many of those who employ domestic help now would release them rather than pay the higher salary. There will be a new minimum wage bill passed in the near future. Debate centers around just how far the bill will go and how far its coverage should extend. In the meantime, the 1967 standard of $1.60 an hour continues to apply.

Campus Editor The first action he took was to hire a secretary for the treasurer’s office who would become familiar with the books and be able to show each succeeding treasurer how they work. As Mr. Goldstein stated; “If there’s change, the Association (SA) Student Linker has Kenny Treasurer successfully erased a $70,000 budget deficit inherited from the previous SA administration. Acting upon recommendations by Sub-Board’s Business Manager Lester Goldstein, Mr. Linker instituted a number of “vital” procedural changes to establish tight fiscal controls over his office. According to Mr, Linker, there was no semblance of order in the treasurer’soffice when the present SA executives took over last March. “Nobody knew what was owed or what was coming in,” Mr. Linker said. He feels the confusion was the result of mismanagement of budget allocations by former SA Treasurer Jeff Osinski. Explaining that most dubs had no budgets with which to operate last September, Mr. Unker said dub directors proceeded to make arrangements and place orders with businesses, assuming they would be reimbursed by the SA. “When were budgets finally passed one by one in December and January, in many cases clubs not allocated even were one-eighth of what they had spent," he noted. Mr, Additionally, Unker pointed out that the Assembly continued to pass budgets despite the fact they were told there wasn’t enough money to cover them. When the bills were sent to SA, it had no choice but to pay the businesses, although this resulted in a $70,000 deficit. Reserve account Fortunately at the time, SA had approximately $70,000 in a reserve savings account which was depleted to cover the cost of the deficit. However. Mr. Unker said the SA is now in a dangerous situation without a savings account to back it up. To prevent any recurrences of last year's disorganization. Mr. linker's primary concern when elected was to pass all budgets before the beginning of this semester. The Student Assembly accomplished this on May 16. Id73 when they approved all budgets except the Athletic. Sub-Board ■ and Black Student Union budgets which, as Mr. Unker indicated, all have ceilings. He also attempted to set up stringent guidelines for all SA spending, keeping in mind that change will be orderly.” In addition, Mr. Linker sent letters to all businesses the SA had dealt with in the past, informing them that they should only accept purchase orders which were co-signed by SA President Jon Dandes, an official in the Banking Office, an administrator, and Mr. Linker himself. Part problem in the past of the was purchase were being submitted without the authorization of the treasurer’s office. orders Procedure changed According to Mr. Unker, the procedure for obtaining purchase orders was also changed. Any club who needs money now fills out a request for an REP encumbrance form and then the treasurer’s secretary types the actual REP. A club representative must reutn several days later to pick up the authorized purchase order copy for the business. “This way the SA knows exactly how much the club wants and if there is enough money in the line of their budget to cover it,” Mr. Unker said. Previously, the Banking Office handled the SA books and once a month sent a “trial balance” to the treasurer. However, the balance sheets were inaccurate on a day-to-day basis. Now, because ledger, he can get a running balance on Mr. Unker keeps his own how much is left in each line of each particular budget. Mr. Goldstein also suggested ways to guarantee that no deficit will occur in the future. Recommending the SA not over-budget this year, he advised that money be set aside for accumulating a reserve. Mr. Unker said: “Without a savings account, the SA is in a very precarious situation because if a deficit ever arises again, SA could conceivably fold. "It is up to SA to keep a tight control over what is being allocated to encourage clubs to that is spend only iponey necessary,” Mr. linker said. He added: "It is also up to the next treasurer and finance committee to keep in mim) that a reserve must be obtained and to budget accordingly.”'' �No more Hough luck’ for undergraduates by lan DeWaal Campus Editor proposal was conditionally adopted by the Policy Committee, provided that some amendments A unique procedure for the resolution of academic grievances by all undergraduate students at University this has been implemented. Modelled after the were added. These were included and after no objections were voiced by members of the Policy Committee or by Dr. Ketter, the grievance procedures adopted by last graduate the students September, the new procedures a provide formal mechanism which will supplement traditional methods of filing complaints with a faculty member or department considered adopted. “When there was a head. Approved by the Division of Undergraduate Studies (DUS) Policy Committee in May, the proposal has additionally been endorsed by President Robert Ketter. Its effect is to provide appeals to the Faculty or School level and the DUS level if satisfaction is not obtained at the departmental level. Four-person committees be will hearing established composed of two students and two faculty members once a grievance has left the departmental level. which A grievance, may typically be a complaint about grading or unfair treatment by a faculty member, will reach the hearing committees only after it has been reviewed by Ron Stein, Associate Director of Student Affairs, or his assistant, Ron Dollman; and after informal procedures have been exhausted. Merit considered Once a complaint is received it will be judged as to its merit before a hearing is scheduled. Also, an attempt will be made to have the parties to the dispute resolve their differences without having to resort to the formal bodies. The idea for an undergraduate grievance procedure jelled after a similar procedure for graduate instituted last students was September and proved successful. “I put together a proposal and sent it to [then SA President) Debbie Benson," stated Dr. Stein. “They ISA) endorsed this.” After that, the proposal went nowhere until Jon Dandes was elected SA President last spring. “Jon took the bull by the horns and we started to roll with it,” stated Dr. Stein. Discussions were held with Dr. Ketter, Dean of Charles Undergraduate Studies Ebert, Faculty-Senate Chairman Gil Moore and representatives of the graduate students. On May 11 last year, the grievance procedure was grievance in the past, a student could only complain to the faculty member or to the department chairman,” continued Mr. Dandes. “The faculty member, unless it was something blatant, was usually upheld.” Executive vice-president Dave Saleh agreed with this assessment; “It was very difficult at times to get hearing from a an objective departmental chairman.” Dr. Stein outlined the benefits the new procedures: “First, they are universal in nature . . . they apply to all undergraduates. Secondly, they provide for parity review as there are an equal number of student and faculty members, and finally,” concluded Dr. Stein, “we now have a formal grievance procedure into which a student can plug in when he feels an injustice has been done.” Mr. Saleh noted that students won’t be limited exclusively to complaints about professors but can raise other issues which may affect them. “You can also bring a grievance against offices such as Admissions and Records.” The proposal institutionalizes a for the three-step procedure pursuit of grievances. The first involves the department step chairman in a first attempt to resolve the dispute with resort to the Grievance department Committee, if one exists. A departmental decision may then be appealed to the chairman of the appropriate Faculty or School Undergraduate Grievance Pool. Names are drawn from the pool to sit on the individual hearing bodies. A further appeal is allowed to the Division of Undergraduate Studies. the Dean of If Undergraduate Studies feels that the appeal is justified, a DUS grievance committee will be convened to consider the matter. This committee will exclude from the representatives the involved in department dispute. At both the Faculty and grievance DUS the levels, committees will consist of two faculty members and two students. of Health school controversy by Ed Ciancone Spectrum Staff Writer supported to insure mutual respect and cooperation between the President and the Faculty-Senate. The resolution was adopted. An action by University President Robert Ketter to establish a new School of Health Education without consulting the Faculty-Senate has created a controversy in that body. In a meeting Tuesday, two resolutions were proposed and passed to avoid such actions by Dr. Ketter in the future. Dr. Ketter gave a lengthy explanation of his actions. He outlined the “long and tangled history" of the School from a 1964 report proposing that a School of Health Education be established up to the present. Dr. Ketter staled that the need for budget money and the fact that thirty-plus faculty members were sitting in “limbo” as to the future of Ihc School were his main considerations in having made the decision. Charles Paganelli spoke out on behalf of the resolution proposed by the Council of Health Science Senators. He expressed dismay at the Presidential election. His disagreement with Dr. Ketter’s decision was not centered on whether there should or should not be such a school, “but only because full consultation was not achieved.” The main thrust of the resolution was that the Senate and its Executive Committee should prevent any such future occurence and that there be a clarification of Senate by-laws and procedures. The resolution also stated that the Health Science School should not interfere with current programs in the Health Sciences. The resolution was passed with 17 abstaining and no negative voles. Reassurance attempted Again, Dr. Ketter reiterated the reasons for Ins actions and tried to assure Dr. Paganelli and the Health Science Senators that the new school would in no way interfere with existing programs Mark Shechner introduced a second similar resolution. Stating that Dr. Keller’s action “raises serious questions about the participation of the faculty of SUNYAB in important academic decisions,” Dr. Shechner called the President’s action a challenge to the Senate and its by laws which Ketter has never recognized and supported." Dr Ketter retorted that no president should be bound by any faculty by-laws. Dr. Shechner and others expressed their dissatisfaction with Dr. Kctter’s feelings about the by-laws. They stated that the by-laws need to be Three already created At a meeting last May, the Faculty-Senate was forced to put aside a proposal creating a new School of Health Kducation when it could not muster a quorum. The Faculty-Senate Executive Committee then asked Senators, representing the Health Sciences, to present its recommendations on the proposed school at the first fall meeting. Dr. Ketter told the Senate that he could not wait until fall and asked the Senate to present its recommendations by July 1 The recommendations were not ready and on August 14 Dr. Ketter sent letters to SUNY Chancellor Ernest Boyer and Health Sciences Vice President F. Carter Pannill establishing the new school. He also said he had an “understanding” with Dr. Pannill when he came to the University last spring that the school would be established. Dr. Pannill was out of town and could not be reached for confirmation. Dr. Ketter added that three already-existing schools Health Related Professions, Information and Library Studies and Architecture and Environmental Design were created without Senate confirmation. - Jonathan Reichert, chairman of the Committee on the Colleges, look the door and staled that there will be an extensive review of the Colleges Some four or five persons from outside colleges are coming to this campus to evaluate the Colleges. Included in this group arc Samuel Korvilz, head of the Philosophy Department at the University of Maryland, Di. Gould of Yale University and the President of Western Reserve College.

I have enjoyed my five months as GSA President, or at least most of it. Two of my mqjor goals in my term of office were to bring the GSA into the public eye, and to help the graduate students to finance their education. I believe the first has been attained in the large amount of press and attention the GSA is now receiving. On the second goal, I believe we have done more than any comparable group in terms of establishing a functional GSA Research Council, and through our testimony in Washington on behalf of all grad students. A third task, that of proper grad student representation in all departments is currently being studied by the grad school executive committee. These projects are the type of things that 1 came into this office hoping to do, and committed to. Unfortunately, 1 soon found myself involved in other matters from which 1 could not escape. Quickly after taking office I found myself involved in a battle with Student Association officers who were trying to buy a Sub-Board seat with black mail techniques. After that it was getting the Administration to approve SASU, or a disagreement over which publication would use which production room, or the recent ignorance of our S45.000 Sub-Board I allocation. I had once again become involved in Norton Hall politics, possibly the dirtiest outside of Washington, D.C. Student politicians usually enter office with high ideals and sink slowly into ego and personal interests. More than one friend has stabbed another in the back, and more than one student body has been sold-out by once well intentioned leaders. For the GSA it is a sad state of affairs when one President has to step down, partially because of the time Norton politics consumes. But why is it that one must step down and only one candidate steps forth,'and for the vacated second spot only two serious candidates emerge . . One reason for my leaving, and for the lack of people desiring office, is the time involved. It is impossible for one person to do the job required of him and still maintain his academic progress. I’m sure past officers will attest to this. On return to the Senate one of my first actions will be to move to create a new line of S800 for four executive assistants at S200 a piece. These would include two presidential assistants, one assistant treasurer, and one Exec. Asst, at large; their jobs would consist mainly of compiling data and preparing reports for the Executive Committee. They would be chosen by the Exec. Committee and confirmed by the Senate. One stipulation would be that they are not past GSA officers. This brings me (o the next problem, GSA’s greatest asset may be the reason for a lack of candidates. A core of old guard GSA officers currently man top committee positions. These people who I personally asked to serve in those positions do tremendous work for the GSA. Unfortunately, their dedication, and my reliance on them, has hindered new blood from entering the executive ranks. As a recommendation to my successor, I suggest a re-evaluation of top positions and the encouragement of new participants. Finally, I thank you for the support you have given me during my administration. I hope that in' my short term of office that I have justified the faith that you have placed in me, and have made a significant contribution. U.B.

Oranization is Janson goal The new President of the Graduate Student Association (GSA) is Monte Janson. He replaces Alan Miller who recently resigned after only five months in office. When asked about last week’s controversy over the failure of various student associations to appropriate money to Sub-Board I, Inc., Mr. Janson replied “I wasn’t aware” that Sub-Board did not know the $45,000 GSA allocation had already been approved. However, Mr. Janson acknowledged hearing Sub-Board Treasurer Jennifer Washburn announce that only the Millard Fillmore College SA had made its allocation to the Board. Mr. Janson said the problem in Sub-Board’s “crisis” was that people panicked who didn’t know that facts. Mr. Janson hopes to use his staff effectively to gather facts and information about graduate student problems. He said the presdient should function “like the president of a corporation,” supervising and directing his staff. The staff and executive committee should provide him with information while he coordinates their efforts. Mr. Janson expressed confidence that he would be able to find the responsible people necessary for such an administration on the recruiting rather than through current executive board. advertising. Mr. Janson said that although New blood he was involved in many activities, In an attempt to mix the old he would have adequate time to and the new, Mr. Janson wants to carry out his duties. He also involve new people in his staff and expressed willingness to forego his committees, possibly by creating stipend in order to use the money co-chairmanships. Though Mr. to hire four Executive Assistants Janson wants experienced people at $200 each. These assistants to carry out GSA duties, the would compile data and prepare addition of new faces will involve reports for the executive more students and create a pool committee. The new President plans to of potential candidates for future elections. He said he believes in present to Sub-Board a proposal the personal approach to for an internal auditing system for Monte Janson GSA. He also hopes for open sub-Board meetings to allow the public to debate the issures. Mr. Janson said the Board’s power should be limited to setting guidelines and holding the student governmentsaccountable for their budgets. Mr. Janson said he had no new ideas on graduate student financing, but said if anyone has problems with Albany in getting scholarship and incentive money he or she should call the GSA office.

At the end of this one-year trial, both parties could decide whether they wanted to continue the relationship. If students agreed that joining NYPRIG was beneficial, WNYPR1G would then be asked to increase its allocation beyond the initial $20,000. “1 have enough faith in what we’re doing to take that risk,” said Mr. Ross. A $20,000 figure might additionally be more' acceptable to SA. He acknowledged that New York State presented special problems for public-interest organizing, but stressed that the rewards are proportionately greater. “If you do something spectacular in Vermont, who hears about it?” he asked. The State University of Buffalo is crucial to NYPIRG, said Mr. Ross. Explaining that while in New York City there were other schools from which NYPIRG could get support, in Western New York; ‘The University of Buffalo gets in or you’re a second-rate operation .[it] is the key.” He said that PIRGs have been successful in such schools as Rice, Duke, Vermont, Syracuse and Texas, “hardly hotbeds of activism.” It would be tragic, he said, if this University failed to take the lead in Western New York. In response to the inevitable .. question whether students would get three dollars worth of services for their three dollar contribution, Mr. Ross said: “Some will get much more than that, some won’t get that much directly.” He said, however, that the indirect benefits to students would be far in excess of three dollars. He cited economic benefits from P1RG projects that stop costly, fraudulent practices. Mr. Ross also pointed out the educational benefits for volunteer students by real social problems and getting real, practical experience in solving them. The concept of PIRG was born when Mr. Ross and consumer advocate Ralph Nader saw that there was a lot of sound and a lot of fury on the campuses and none of it was going anywhere.” Mr. Nader and Mr. Ross saw that the lack of continuity in student activism preculded any sophisticated action, the kind needed to make basic reforms. Mr. Nader’s experience with summer student programs backed up by a full-time professional staff convinced them that a similar kind of organization would yield the best results, allowing PIRGs to have the continuity of a full-time staff and the sporadic bursts of student activity. That was in 1970. ‘The facts are now in,” declared Mr. Ross: ‘The PIRG works.” “ Security arm in Sub-committee sets hearing Selective arming of Campus Security will move another step closer to reality next Tuesday, September 25, when the Subcommittee on Internal Security and Selective Arming will hold an open hearing on its recommended guidelines. The hearing called “for suggestions as to possible changes and amendments to the guidelines,” will take place in Room 147 Diefendorf Hall from 4 to 6 p.m. The hearings purpose is to obtain community input before the guidelines go to Ihe President's office for final approval. Security must wail for Dr. Kettdr’s okay before arming can aclually be instituted. “We are waiting for firm guidelines from Ihe President’s office before implementing anything,” said Assistant Director of Security LeeGriffin. Security officials as well as the guidelines emphasize that the use of firearms is always a last resort and shall he used only if someone’s life is in danger. Several possible conditions are outlined in the report, only exception being the killing of a dangerous animal or one so badly hurt that shooting it would be humane. Firing as a warning or at fleeing persons or vehicles is expressly prohibited Extensive training Under the plan, the officers to carry arms will be extensively trained in human dynamics and relations and cultural factors of the members of the University Community. The art of self defense and the use of non-lethal weapons will also be included in their orientation. Griffin suggested that these skills could be fully attained by supplementing material his college trained staff has already studied in sociology and psychology with special courses designed by this University’s faculty. Philosophy Editor’s note: The following is the "Thilosophy as stated in the draft Selective Arming guidelines for selective arming. The arming of selected officers of the Security Force is intended to provide an adequate response to the threat posed by armed individuals who attack or threaten to attack persons on campus, and is intended only for that This intention informs our purpose. recommendations and must become the byword of the grave security officer given any responsibility of carrying a weapon. The armed officer must not only be well trained in the use of weapons, but also educated to the legal, ethical and moral aspects relating to the use of ultimate force. In selecting an officer for training in the use of arms, his temperament, attitude, disposition, and particularly his record in handling himself in stressful situations must all be taken into account. In particular, a record of a departmental sanction for violation of of Gustav will reproduce almost anything! 8 cents per single copy 6 cents for multiple copies over 5 355 Norton Hall ” departmental regulations should preclude his or her selection. The subcommittee’s recommendation required that two plain clothesmen on each shift carry concealed weapons. Griffin anticipates possible trouble with this stipulation due to a union regulation that all officers be uniformed. The report also calls for mandatory written reports from the officer involved after the displaying or discharging of a weapon. bach incident will then be investigated by the University Security Review Board, which will have representatives from the various segments of the University. The Board will them decide whether or not the action was justified and will recommend disciplinary action if justification isn't sufficiently proven. Superior accuracy The guidelines also suggest mandatory practice and monthly testing of the officers who meet the other qualifications. Campus Security will in fact be required to be more accurate with a gun than the The subcommittee suggests that Buffalo Police. Security be 25% more accurate that the local forces on a six stage test with a maixmum 300 points. Buffalo police are required to score above 190 on the lest while Campus officers will have to score 235. “We want our people to be better qualified than any other law enforcement agency around,” said Griffin. Speaking of the need for arming Mr. Griffin said: “The community expects us to protect them. If we are to do this properly, we cannot be unarmed. If they don’t want this, then our role should be redefined," continues Griffin “But we think we know the community better and would be able to deal more efficiently with any problems than any outside agency.” of arming Altitudes which must be inculcated or reinforced in any armed officer include the feeling of the extreme responsibility incurred in carrying a weapon, and a number of important supporting guidelines. Among these is the responsibility to avoid using the weapon to threaten an unarmed individual, or group of individuals, no matter how extreme the psychological provocation. It is recognized, however, that on rare occasions an unarmed individual or group of individuals may pose an extreme, even lethal, physical threat to the officer or to others, and that in this instance the officer may be justified in drawing the weapon in response. Awareness of a primary responsibility to avoid injury to bystanders is essential in a situation which may require the use of the weapon. A sensitivity to the image of law enforcement agencies held, whether validly or not, by various people likely to be encountered on campus is necessary in providing responsible, adequate and widely accepted protection for the university community and its guests. FViday, 21 September 1973*,. The Spectrum Page five . �UTO TAT, A tragic experiment The entire country is watching to gauge the effects of nation's toughest drug law in "liberal" New York State and to see what implications this law holds for other states. After only three weeks, conservatives are citing the reported decrease of hard drugs on the street as evidence of the new law's immediate success. In reality, the reduced street traffic is probably only temporary, being the result of initial caution by dealers contemplating new and safer ways to go underground. Within six months, however, the deleterious effects of this most reactionary law will become increasingly and graphically clearer. When a couple of policemen are shot confronting a desperate addict who knows he faces life in jail if he's caught, the public will try not to notice. When a few juries fail to convict young users or pushers because they know they will be sent to jail for life with no discretion by the judge possible, regadless of circumstances, the public will stir. When several massive bribes to law enforcement officials are discovered, with the realization that when the stakes go up (life imprisonment), so do the poker chips (bribes), the public will sit up and take notice. This will only be the beginning. With the virtual removal of plea bargaining (pleading guilty to a lesser charge in exchange for information), big-time dealers, who never touch anything but the money, will be even further shielded. This is the tragedy of the new law. Far from "getting tough" on big suppliers, its actual result will be thousands of cases deluging the courts in persecution of small-time or even occasional users, thousands of ruined lives, but no effect on behind-the-secnes suppliers. The politically attractive law may seem to be aimed at the hard-core criminal addict; in fact it totally ignores the real nature of drug abuse. When parents see life sentences being indiscriminately slapped on young people whose only crime was a misguided abuse of ups or downs or cocaine, young people they know personally, young people bearing not the slightest resemblance to criminals, then the repressive aspects of the law will be painfully clear. When our already-deluged courts become paralyzed by the influx of drug cases, when our already-overcrowded prisons deteriorate further into seething hotbeds, people will be forced to relegate the law to the list of glaring inadequacies of our pitiful criminal justice system. Paralyzed courts and overcrowded jails will not bother Nelson Rockefeller of Attica fame. He seeks only to extract the political 'DOESN'T ANYBODY BELIEVE ANYONE IN THIS ADMINISTRATION ANY MORE? NO, I'M NOT LEAVINOI' ~ by Barry Kaplan Ever since mankind appeared upon the face of this Earth, there has been a series of supposed “revelations” or face-to-face meetings with God. From the biggies like Moses down to the guys who wind up in mental institutions, there has been a persistent notion that if you wanted to talk to your Maker, all you had to do was whistle and He would pop out of a burning bush, roar down from the sky, or more likely, meet you in the middle of some desert. This egalitarian notion of God and Man, meeting upon some neutral turf, has been eroded "law-and-order" benefits of the new law at the expense of the welfare and whittled down by those infernal middlemen of the people of his state. While paying lip service to rehabilitation, instituted by organized religion. Now if you want to justifying his "throw 'em in jail” approach as one meant to "protect" talk to God, you get together with a bunch of other society, he is playing on public fears by pushing the stereotyped addict guys on a pre-arranged date, read or sing a prepared image, blind to the thousands in society with drug problems who need speech, and hope that God can pick out your voice help.

Mohammed, Christ and Buddha might have been close personal friends of God, but after they introduced their followers to Him, I bet ya God decided that he had had enough of this prophet business. God tried to knock off some of his flock by pitting them against each other in Holy Wars and Crusades, but no matter how many died, they still managed to reproduce at alarming rates, each time invoking God’s name at the moment of conception. It was after the population explosion that God decided to revamp his organization and remodel it along modern lines. So although the Guru might promise that “1 can show you God face to face,” don’t bet on it. If you wanted to get in touch with God these days via the express route, you have to go to the fundamentalist sects. So Monday.night 1 went to one of the Guru’s meetings in order to be introduced to God, face to face. I must confess that I was slightly nervous due to the fact that I had never seen God before (in reality, I never really tried), and I really wasn’t quite sure what to wear. I sat down, began to concentrate; finally after an hour of blankness, I yelled out of sheer frustration: “Oh God, I’m bored!” Suddenly I heard a shrill ringing in my ears, after a few seconds a metallic voice resounded throughout my head: “God’s Office, may I help you?” Before I could respond the voice flatly stated: “Please hold, I have a call on the other line.” After a lew minutes, the voice came back and asked me what I wanted. I replied that 1 wanted to see God face to face and if possible have him do some magic tricks for me. I was then referred to the Department of Miracles and Holy Works where I filled out a request form for the miracles that 1 wanted. 1 was then told to come back in three days for a response. Three days later as I was meditating in one of Norton’s Johns, the ringing returned and 1 was again talking to the secretary of the Miracle and Holy Work department. I was told that God could not see me for a while due to his busy schedule, and if I still wished to see him, I should make an appointment with his appointments secretary. As for the miracles I requested, it seemed that due to unprecedented demand, the miracles were closed out for this year. If any of you guys out there can bring me face to face with God, please call me. I need someone to break all of that red tape. God’s appointment secretary told me that if I wanted to see God, I would have to go to his territory and I’m not ready for that as of yet. �Mandatory interference 9 THE PETE HAMILL COLUMN ‘Chile could be another Spain To the Editor. All I could think of as I read Monday’s The Spectrum was: “Can’t they see the problem?!” The student government of this school has control of a minimum of $1,340,000 per year (assuming $67 from each of 20,000 students). Naturally, with that kind of money to disperse, they have a lot of power over every group or activity that wants some of it and naturally, those with that power are going to use it by meddling in organizations’ activities and making “managerial-level decisions.” So, to meekly come out in an editorial asking Sub-Board to “not antagonize its groups with undue interference” and to please “keep its hands out of policy” is utterly laughable. They are given the power and the right to interfer the minute they are given your $67. The only way to change that is to change the “mandatory” in front of “student activity fees.” No matter how good the intentions are and no matter who you elect into the Student Association, you give up your freedom of choice as to what happens to your money the minute it is in their hands, simply because that is their job: to decide for you what happens to your money. Sub-Board was accused of slashing certain arts programs without consulting student surveys. Also, setting budget ceilings and making activities “income-offset” (i.e., making enough money to pay for their costs) were named in the editorial as desirable goals. Isn’t it obvious that the easiest way to achieve these goals and to halt Sub-Board tyrrany is by allowing each student to keep his $67 and decide with his own adult brain what clubs he wants to support or what concerts and movies he wants to see on the campus? If that is too “drastic” a solution, as a compromise measure, how about allocating the money to only the group or groups or activities that the student joins or wants to support? Thus, if a student joined one group, that group would get $67. If he joined one group and subscribed to the paper, the group would get $33'A and the paper would get $33‘/i. If instead, he joined two groups and subscribed to a concert or movie series, each group would get S22V4 and the organizers of the concert series (i.e., UUAB) would also get $22Vi. The student could, feasibly, join up to a maximum of 67 groups under that system without paying additional dues. The problem with that proposition is it is rather cumbersome to manage and would undoubtedly require the setting up of a whole new bureaucracy to administer it. In any case, students are getting pretty upset with this “annual $67 rip-off” and in my view, ending the “mandatory” aspect of it is the only way to end their discontent. Jackie Davies Chairman, U.B. Chapter Young Americans for Freedom by Pete Ham ill The waiters moved crowded the through high-ceilinged rooms, dispensing the oil and balm of international diplomacy: small squares of caviar and toast, elegant shrimps, good whiskey. Through the windows, you could see the fountains playing in front of the Metropolitan Museum, and the limousines double-parked on Fifth Avenue. Such diplomatic parties take place every night in this town. But on this night, word had just come in that a democracy had been murdered in Chile. “It won’t end simply,” a European socialist said. "The miners are armed. Some of the trade unions in the cities are armed. They will fight, Chile could be another Spain." (most of which are controlled by Washington) to withhold economic aid, credits, loans and technical American big businesses, and the multi-national corporations they control, instituted a de facto embargo of Chile, withholding spare parts and equipment. And all the while, the Americans continued to feed hardware to Chilean armed forces and bring their officers to the U.S. for “training.” None of this- had to happen. Suppose, when Allende was elected, that Nixon had been outgoing assistance. and warm. Suppose he had traveled personally to Chile, the way he went to China and the Soviet Union. He could have done that. He could have instructed the World Bank and all the relevant agencies to pour the money into Chile, to show that the Americans were not paranoid lunatics about socialism, to prove that we cared more for justice and freedom than we did for the continued profits of a handful of capitalist companies. We could have cut off the military aid (Chile, after all, was not threatened by any other country) and we could have helped Allende build his democratic socialism. Another Spain, The words are chilling, because they remind us again of how much the old American ideals have been twisted and subverted in the years since 1936. When Francisco Franco landed his armies in Spain to overthrow the freely-elected government of the Republic, he had the backing of the Nazis. When the armed forces of Chile overthrew the freely-elected government of Salvatore Allende, they did so with the blessings of the United States. We have come a long way. * * “There’s nothing we can say publicly about it,” another diplomat said at the reception the other night. “After all, we have to live in the world with you." Poor Allende probably never had a chance of making democratic socialism work in Chile. The Americans leared him not simply because he was socialist but because he was also democratic If a socialist country could be built without crushing the free press, without creating vast prisons for political opponents, without resorting to Stalinist murder and repression, the world would be certain to change. All the stereotypes would have to be altered, in the U.S. as well as in the under-developed countries. So the Nixon government and its big business affiliates started moving against Allende even before he was elected. Harold Geneen and other ITT officials have admitted to Congress that they raised $1 million to defeat Allende, or to buy him off later. * * * We did just the opposite. This is, of course, no surprise. But it confirms again that the U.S. needs a major internal restructuring before it can ever again he considered a great nation, or before it can lay claim to anything resembling moral superiority. This country simply does not belong to the people who contributed to Nixon’s campaigns. And its greatness must be derived from a commitment to freedom, not to capitalism. The hard-line Communists will use Chile as an object lesson to those who still believe that socialism can be democratic. Nixon and Brezhnev were no doubt equally cheered by the news from Santiago. But when those diplomats were sipping their drinks in New York the other night, and Salvatore Allende lay bleeding on his couch in Santiago, it wasn’t socialism that was dying. It was freedom. And there isn't enough of it in this world any more to ignore even one small death. Luna tic fringe To the Editor “Executiveprivilege, Separationofpowers, Nationalsecurity, Confidentiality, Abracadabra Disappear!” 9 It didn’t work.

Nostalgia films are a prime example. This exploitation of the in although unforgivable audience, principle, is readily acceptable in reality. Nostalgia films are fun, and a bit of romanticism never hurt anyone. However, a documentary that seriously exploits and condones the lust for violence that has long been characteristic of the American (movie-going) public is a base, valueless film. Manson is such a film. Purporting to explain the truth about the man who inspired such brutal murders as the Tate-LaBianca slaughters, the film does the opposite. It deifies Manson and romanticizes his power. Blender The film is compiled from home movies, television films and interviews (taken after MansQn had been incarcerated). Its focal points were "Manson's Girls": Sadie Atkins (on death row for the murder of Sharon Tate), Pat Krenwinkle, Leslie van Houton (also on death row); and Paul Watkins, a flutist who lived and partied with the family for a period of about a year. Watkins left when Manson started preaching death. Primarily through interviews of Mr. Buleosi (the California state prosecutor), the film expalins Manson's motivation for the killings. Manson, Buleosi says, intended instigate a racial war. By murdering Sharon Tate, the LaBiancas, and Abagail Folger (an heiress), and intending the killings to be blamed on the Black community, Manson hoped a Black-White to would be initiated. Manson then assumed that the weak leaderless Black force that emerged victorious would have to call upon him as their leader. war Cheesecake Yet, exposing Manson's motivation was not the point of the film. Laurence Merrick, the producer of the document, instead chose to use the sex appeal of the three girls (always posed with either guns or knives). The questions asked of them concentrated mainly on their weapons, the answers mainly proved the knives and weapons to be phallic symbols in the eyes of the girls. The death trip is seen as the ultimate orgasm for which all of them strived, yet none, save Manson, attained, Manson claimed he died on the cross. Merrick appeared to be strangely excited by Manson's self-image. A religious inspiration for the killings can almost be seen as an adequate justification in Merrick's eyes. With every testimony to Manson's godliness, the film intensifies, the pitch of the music, and the visual effects take on extra meanings. An implied parallel is drawn between the Negev and Death Valley. The shortcomings in the film are obvious to the point of being ludicrous, Manson's power is often spoken of, but never explained. The film offers only one solid statement to "explain" the killings. Leslie Van Houten states that they are all "T.V. Children," born and bred on the violence of our times. No explanation is offered as to why these people are unable to separate the myth of cartoons from the reality of technique human The is killings. amateurish, shots are often blurred and unconnected. The movie is repetitious to the point of boredom. Save your money. Political expose Yankees in Latin affairs In complete contrast to the disregard for the truth presented in Manson, I offer Costa Gavras' new film State of Siege Following in his tradition of Z, Costa Gavras has produced a brilliant, documented expose on the American infiltration of Latin American countries. Casting Yves Montand as Phillip Michael Santore (a pseudonym foi Dan Mitnone), the American AID official who was kidnapped and killed in Uruguay on August 9, 1970, Costa-Gavras reconstructs the events that took place in the week before Mitrione's death. Santore, Consul campos of Brazil, and Anthony Lee, the American ambassador to Brazil (who was released the same day), were kidnapped by the Tupamaros on Monday, August 3. The kidnapping was in reaction to the gradual military take over of Uruguay and to the censorship of the university. It was an attempt to free political prisoners. But, most importantly, it was in reaction to the American intervention in the politics of Uruguay, an effort to expose the truth to the world. Pen querry Using photocopies of documents. New York Times articles, and tape recorders, the prisoners were interrogated. No confessions were forced; the prisoners were well treated. It is fascinating to watch Santore, an arms expert, squirm when assaulted with an arsenal of verbal truths. Hugo (Jacques Weber) interrogated Santore. At first, Santore insisted that he was simply an official, sent to help advise the Uruguayan police in traffic control. The Tupamaros' documents proved otherwise. In 1962, Santore arrived in Brazil, as a police advisorT on the basis of an official agreement between the American and Brazilian governments. In 1964, the democratic government of Goulart in Brazil was overthrown. President Johnson sent his congratulations to the military and the police even before the putsch was complete Hugo read from a New York Times article: "In Brazil, the United States in less than ten years, has helped train locally more than one hundred thousand policemen . . . Six hundred more police officials have been trained in the US." Hugo discusses political tortures by the police, and Santore admits to the knowledge, but implies that the Brazilian bishops who denounced those tortures were Communists. Itinerant terrorist After Brazil, Santore went to Santo Domingo, scene of a 1965 army uprising in which American marines participated. Then Santore came to Uruguay. The film is documented the book, with the documents, is in paperback with facts, stolen files from AID (the American Agency for International Development) and photographs from the international police academy. The electric shock torture that is seen in the movie has been used, and probably is still being used, in several Latin American countries (and who knows where else). The actu z uie film is excellent. Yves Montand portrays the perfect well indoctrinated fascist. He's snearing, ironic, sarcastic, and almost impenetrable. Jacques Weber is strong his lines, as well as his characterization, evoke an enormous amount of intellectual empathy for the — — — Tupamaro's cause. Costa-Gavras has done an excellent, in producing, directing and co-writing State of Siege (Franco Solinas The Battle of Algiers had a hand in it too). Costa-Gavras has beautiful technique; he carefully focuses fffs camera on the 1 Uruguayan people. He tells us, his camera tells us, their eyes tell us the truth. The people see the truth. I wonder what the i people see in Chile today. courageous job — — �Bars are as much an attitude as they are anything else. Va just gotta have that right attitude if ya want it to work. Goodbar has a rooted history of goodtimes, solidarity amongst the customers, and almost communal devotion by the employees. It can all work so beautifully at times that when ya happen to hit a seedy night or two, it's usually totally forgotten as your heads spinning, and your bodies pulsating and sweating to that driving beat. And if ya get tired of the same place ya can Crusin' n' boozin' is as much as American past-time as deathburger palaces ('mit der Golden H'arches') n' tube tastin’. Either your orbs are swiveling from too much Lost Weekending or two much airwave footballing (and I don't mean suckin toes): but despite the hype that booze is the bamboozale of the decade It'll cheat ya, it'll greet ya, it'll eat ya, and it'li make ya puke if ya don't it's still the only-only in know hrw o handle it social misfunctionings it's a gas. Bars are far from being Utopian meeting places, but there're certainly not as seedy as most people seem to make 'em out to be. After all ya can't be sensitive ALL the time.

Take for instance. Granny Goodness; historically it's been a place where live music has been the main attraction. It's played host to people like B.B. King, some members of Blue Oyster Cult when they were a group called Stalk Forest, the entire Alice Cooper collection used to make their home there, and jams one night it with visiting musicians are frequent might be Jorge Santana and some guys from Malo, another it might be the local legend of the House rockers, another it might be J. Geils, it almost happened. It's a nice place with a relaxed atmosphere, good music, good lick-or, good people. I — — — — Old blowouts by wizened aged ones with jowls and atrophoid bowels can be excessively depressing if you're youthoid, but they've got a certain sense of impending doom which is comforting to many, and sometimes these old blowouts can jump up on the bar and lampshade their way to inner bliss with the best of 'em. Which brings us to the dreaded, sometimes just plain hated, youthbars. The meeting places of kids out to waste time and make time and booze and lose, they're really kinky when they work. One such place is a bar called Mr. Goodbar, the master link for Granny Goodness and Binky two other bars Browns, being the others on the chain. When ya cruise into Mr, Goodbar (a character out of the infamous Zap Comix cycle) and cast your Old bars, inhabited wrinkled like it a lot. Then for the true crazee (not meant derogatorily) 'cause crazees are what's gonna save the world from the Big Nod-Out when it happens), it's shuffling on down to Binky Browns (another character from the Zap books) a tightly-knit — collection of beautiful people, and excellent booze I know I've spent many a night crawling around its floors in search of my lost gin bottle. Binky Browns with its Manic Miles, Cautious Carl, Sassy Sammy, Joltin' Joel, Goodbar with its — — sore orbs onto the brilliant red-tiled floor ya know you're in for something interesting. Then your eyes focus onto the wood-grained walls with their flea market art objects absolutely beautiful paintings of aged Indians, photos of the gay nineties, curved mirrors, etc. Hey, this is gettin' kinda nice nostalgic in a way, flashin’ visions of the old time baseball players and their gigantic handlebar moustaches dripping foaming beer. Then you actually take a step into the room. — — —mcnlece Husky blues voice; that's Jo-Arm Kelly Enter stage left: a slightly plump blonde of medium height with round wire-rimmed spectacles on her nose and a red and black wool beanie on her head. She smiles and chats (in a British accent) with the audience as she tunes her guitar. With strong, skilled fingers, she begins to play. Enter Kelly, Jo-Ann singing down-to-it lyrics center stage: with a husky, bluesy voice ("Let's get together, baby, see what we can do"). Her eyes are almost closed and her face looks hard as she flings the words out at us. I'm not writing about a duet. I'm describing one Jo-Ann Kelly, a female vocalist/guitarist who chooses to express herself not so much with pretty tones and finger picking as with gutsy notes and a slide bar on her finger. A lady from across the sea who digs down into the earthy roots of contemporary music from Robert Johnson to Buddy Holly, with the likes of John Lee Hooker and Muddy Waters in between. — Slide wail And there she was, sitting on the stage of Norton coffeehouse. She had two guitars with her (one six. one twelve) and between them, she managed a whole range of back-up sounds for herself. Strumming up on the high frets Belongs for a Dylan number to Me," her guitar sounded almost like an autoharp. Playing the lower frets on open tuning, she filled the room with full bassy tones. And with a slide on her finger, the place jumped. It did my heart good to see a woman who had mastered the instrument as well as so many men who seem to think that they're the only ones who can make it wail. Jo-Ann kept the pace going on a frisky energy level throughout the show. Her renditions of standard tunes like "Come in to My Kitchen" and "Walkin' the Dog" kept their original flavor, but were adapted just to the point where they had enough rockin' beat to keep it all moving. The peak of the show came towards the end of the night with a number of her own composition, "Little Miss Femme Fatale," that had my whole body moving. Both her voice and her gpitar sang out strong, full, and low down. I have only one regret: Jo-Ann didn't have anyone else backing her up. I would've liked to see her play slide guitar freed from keeping the rhythm and beat. But I guess that's what a coffeehouse is about less people on stage, less people in the audience, less money out of your pocket, more intimate atmosphere. And after all, if you're not close enough to the stage to see a blues singer sing, — you're missing half the action. .

He has stepped aside and with a click has captured his essence in a moment of time. Visually, he has linked the past to the present with the social document. At no other time in history has man recorded himself to this extent. Before the Daguerrotype it was the world of paint, the artist's conception of the object; he was limited by his medium. With the conception of the photographic image, man could instantaneously see himself as he was. Imagine a person never having seen himself (mirrors were not perfected as of yet) being handed his exact likeness. Social shock that is me! Man started to extend himself; he became aware of a different reality. Brady's photographing of the Civil War destroyed Johnny when he marched home again. Tim O'Sullivan's photograph, A Harvest of Death, Gettysburg 1863 presented to the wordly audience War and Death. Throughout the last 80 years, photographers like Alfred Stieglitz, Paul Strand, Walker Evans, Cartier-Besson, Robert Frank, Nathon Lyons, Lee Fried lander and countless others have been presenting a visual dialogue between their eye, the world and the viewer.

The advantage of the book over prints in a gallery is that it allows the work to be seen by vast numbers of people more than for just a short period. As the work is there on the shelf, it can be picked up at any time. A disadvantage may be that you are viewing a reproduction rather than an actual print. This is where my interest now lies: in the book as a form and a medium and the process of the print as only part of a syntax in a visual statement. ... -Bob Muffoletto GENTLE WAKE-UP & WEATHER SERVICE A personat wake-up phone call Mon thru Fri. $8.00 per month.

American Style segment gone wild. Marvin and Laura and Stanley and Mandy, two nice, clean, fun-loving couples, rent a house in the Vineyard Martha's for summer. At the first party of the season, their hostess points out the infamous Tony and Barbara DeVroom, a pair whose notoriety stems from the fact that "they in take Tuesday nights off" other words, once a week each is free to sleep with the partner of his or her choice. After all the initial embarrassed Laura was at least believable and brought a bit of stability and intelligence to her role. Andrew Duncan's Stanley was, as Laura pointed out, boring. Carmine Caridi and Lynne Lipton, in the other major roles, were sufficiently cute and lively. Lipton looked and acted like a slightly brighter Goldie Hawn, and was screenplay self-righteous written by Dan Greenburg, who also gave the world such gems as How to Be a Jewish Mother. Book of love Based on his Chewsday: A Sex Novel, it is full of lines like Stanley's profoundly irrelevant observation that "sunbathing may very well be a metaphor for life Probably itself." the quintessential comment on the film as a whole was made by Marvin himself when he remarked to Stanley that "the truth of it is, I'm full of shit." Outstanding performances are not really encouraged or even called for by this type of movie, and consequently none were given, although Cynthia Harris as as such may still find herself on the tube. Filmed in a straightforward, inventive way (although interesting, if not quite awesome), this is clearly a film where plot was meant to be all. Thus, the viewer is left with almost nothing. Stay home and save your money TV is a lot less pretentious, and at least you can change the not very — channels. — laughter has subsided, it turns out that while Laura and Stanley are still rather uneasy, their spouses have stopped laughing and are making out in the kitchen instead. Hide and peek This situation leads, naturally, to all sorts of fun complications. One rainy day, Marvin suggests a game of Strip Hide-and-Seek and is met with immediate approval. He maneuvers his way into the perfect hiding place on top of Mandy. She rejects him, however, on the grounds that his wife has just become the first player to — lose all her clothes ("Don't you see? She took off her underpants. She doesn't deserve this . . . she's too good a sport!").

In a frenzy of zeal, he manages to win Mandy with this interesting bit of divine just as guess whose revelation husband and wife walk back into the house. Well. Suffice it to say that within the next half hour or so everyone gets satisfied symbolically but no one actually, which somehow leads to a happy ending anyway.

This is the one I heard. A few years ago at Stony Brook, Simon and Garfunkel gave a concert and people came from all over. A friend of my sister's, nameless but male, was waiting at their car after the show so he could catch a look at the two stars as they came offstage. He did more than catch a look Art Garfunkel tried to pick him up and take him in his car somewhere. Of course our nameless male declined such a request, thus preserving his integrity when he came back to tell the tale. I heard it through my sister, who insists she knew the guy and that he meant it with wide eyes. Who am I to argue with senstionalist glamor gossip? Anyway, I almost believe it because after all, she is my sister and I know when she is to be believed. All that matters really is my own credibility, so don't worry about it. Heh. Heh. You see. Art Garfunkel has released a solo album and the cover picture is soft as a baby's tooshee. There he is, giving us all that look. You know this guy's not kidding around. There's no sawdust between those - artist), penned one of the finest suburban folk ballads ever. The album called Loaded is still one of the essential emotions of the waning consciousness of the late sixties; the song "Train Coming Round the Bend" is a leaden haze of Long Island Railroad mentality imagery hopping board that train, leaving the monolithic heaviness of the Hempstead wastelands for the security of the concrete bowels of the City drunk oh your ass, bored outa your brainpan. The Velvets became the essence of New Yawk. The chief musical masters of that explicit New Yawk sound: freeway accidents and roach — — stompings. Now we've got the New Yawk Dollies, the punk androids of the subway dressed in a decadent malevolence gnashing their teeth and flipping their wrists; rhinestone-encrusted switchblades vs. the grease-ladened bike chains of the ghetto rumble. The glitter of a failing society bundled up in a neat little package of rock 'n' joy. For almost two years the scene in the City breezed from the cubiclesque Max's Kansas City to the garrish Continental Baths creating a sub-culture of bizarreness and decay. Also creating at the same time a fantastical collection of musical mutants ranging from the coy boyishness of Jonathan Richmond and the Modern Lovers (currently being produced by John Cale); to the blatant rogue-out of Ruby and the Rednecks; right on through to the gangly gouche of Wayne County, culminating in the pinnacle of punknacity, the New York Dolls. The Dolls, or the Dollies, depending on just how Continental your awareness is, are a group of young wild boys lisping n' rawkin' their way into the homes of mid-American mentalities. Lipstick n' rouge replacing grease and Vitalis without any conscious change in attitude. The Dollies are the first of the New York Bands to break out of the concrete shell and assault teenage groinhood. Their first album is a bizarre meeting of the Philly Freeze and the Lindy—Todd Rundgren vs. the Dolls in the recording studio (continuing his trend towards being the first hack genius of the tumbler, glass booth, toggle set. He'll produce anyone.) ears. This kid's got a good head on his shoulders so you goddam better get serious, s Willie works as the garden man He plants trees. He bums leaves. He makes money for himself. Often I'd stop with his words on my mind: Do Space Men Pass Dead Souls On Their Way To the Moon? Because Art Garfunkel's quite a guy. He was half of Simon & Garfunkel, did all the arranging for the tunes, mostly written by Paul Simon, and sang with the sweetest falsetto ever known to youth. He was beautiful, and I loved him for many years. Of course I've gotten older and moved in new directions, for Ali Akbar Khan to John Coltrane, and while all that is now a part of me, it's time to reflect on things passing gently, and those which have passed and been returned by the tide. I have cast my bread among the waters and Art Garfunkel has .. returned. It had been a rough road and he was forced to go it alone, but here he is with Angel Clare. He wrote none of the tunes, which indicates more a state of mind than lack of talent or a lot of class, so he relies mainly on standards. Re: Barbara Ann, Travelling Boy, Old Man, I Shall Sing, Woyaya. He plays no instruments, probably indicating an inability to play them, so he relies mainly on standards. Re: Jerry Garcia, Paul Simon, Milt Holland, J.J. Cale, but actually they play the most minor role the real musicians are, chosen at random, Larry Carlton, Louie Shelton, Hal Blaine, Jim Gordon, Larry Knechtel, and three others. There are string arrangements, and for once I can't complain. After all. Art Garfunkel is not Jack Bruce. It sounds nice this way. There are no upbeats they all have that Bridge Over Troubled Water kind of fulfillment, like ballads and folksongs that evolve without speeding up, and there is ample use of double and triple-tracking so you can hear a whole choir of Art Garfunkels, with two voices on each part. IT SOUNDS SO FUCKING SWEET! THE WHOLE THING IS SO FUCKING SWEET! I know it's beautiful and it makes me feel so good to be listening to it, but I'm still too embarassed to take it off the headphones. (Nobody's ever gonna catch me listening to Arthur Garfunkel, the dumb fag intellectual movie star.) — — Anyway, the Dollies record is as fine an effort as any of 'em. It's a tightly packed suppository of rock 'n' roll, sans the added visual gyrations of lead singer David Jo Hansen, its just waiting to violate some young boy's sexual identity. It's a record based on raw power, sheer energy, like all that early Stones material and the regional mid-sixties genius of the Shadows of Knight, the Sonics, etc. Pure punk force making you bend over and take it right up the hiney. Like the teenage Frankensteins they sing about, out with a musical whip making you cringe in anticipated pain.

Brezhnev, the Soviet Communist Party leader, told the Western world Wednesday not to attempt to barter for Soviet concessions as ' a result of Moscow’s interest in improved relations. The Russian leader’s speech was apparently in reaction to mounting Western criticism over Soviet policies toward dissidents in the U.S.S.R., and to increasing Western pressures for a freer flow of ideas and people between East and West. Mr. Brezhnev asserted that the agreements of the past few years should be consistently and honestly obeyed “without playing games or engaging in ambiguous maneuvers.” In response to an amendment Monday by the United States Senate, which urged the Kremlin to permit free expression of ideas FOR ALL PEOPLE Comer North Long and Main Street, Witllamaville, New York THRUWAY EXIT 50 and free emigration as provided by the United Nations Declaration of Human Rights, Moscow radio beamed an English-language broadcast to North America accusing the Senate of “gross interference” in Soviet internal affairs.

Mr. Sakharov, Mr. Brezhnev There is considerable sentiment in the Senate to link the granting of “most-favored-nation” trade status to Moscow with the unrestricted right of Jews and others to emigrate freely from the Soviet Union. In response to Western questioning of continuing Soviet military develooments, such as multiple warhead missies (MIRV’s) and a “pop-up” launching technique to permit missiles to carry heavier payloads, Mr. Brezhnev accused the West of “fostering the arms race even more and . . . inflating military budgets.” Such proposals will not help create a favorable atmosphere for the European security conference in Geneva, he said.

In an outspoken statement in which he admitted sending underground articles, photos and poems to the West, historian Yevgeny Barabanov defended his action in the name of human freedoms. “The West granted the sole opportunity to save those documents and them preserve — that it’s coming from people over at the White House.” He referred to a Washington Post report Tuesday morning quoting an unnamed “senior Republican” as being “99‘A per cent certain” Agnew would resign, Agnew’s press secretary J.

But when reporters, several times during the evening, cornered Agnew to ask him about the resignation report, he repeatedly gave the same reply; “Gentlemen, you know it’s not my practice to comment on stories from undisclosed sources.” physical from extermination,” the 29-year-old art specialist said in a statement sent to Western newsmen.

Agnew said Wednesday the White House apparently was behind the report that Agnew has discussed resigning. He said the vice president will “fight” rather than step down. The source said there were “indications - The interest he paid on loans for the purchase of his homes in San Clemente, Calif., and Key Biscayne, Fla., plus a $570,000 write-off he got for donating personal papers to the National Archives, were more than sufficient to put him among the 183 persons in the nation fortunate enough to make more than $200,000 annually and pay no taxes during those two years. BANK t < The Regents, in a position paper, further proposed that all schools in the state which grant doctoral degrees plan for five-year periodic “self-assessment” of their doctoral programs and describe the evaluation plan in their 1974 progress reports to the Regents. The position paper also called on the schools to “initiate a more rigorous recruitment program to attract more women students and members of minority groups as doctoral students.” On the financial side, the Regents recommended that following the statewide evaluation there should be an increase in state aid for all “quality public and private doctoral-granting programs.’’ CAMPUS ROUNDUP Committee to study athletics future Student Association (SA) President Jon Dandes has has accepted the announced that Bruce Engel chairmanship of a special University-wide committee which will consider the of athletics at the University. “The committee will assess our current commitment to athletics and establish our future priorities,” stated Mr. Dandes. “It will be totally autonomous.” Committee members will be sleeted in the near future.

A 52 percent majority now agree with the statement that “things have become more repressive in this country in the past few years.” Among the key findings of a special Harris Survey during the recent Congressional recess were: By 69 to 10 percent, a sizable majority of the people classify the raid of Daniel Ellsberg’s psychiatrist’s office by private agents hired by the White House as “unjustified and repressive.” By 44 to 34 percent, a plurality feel that “the arrest and trial of members of the Vietnam Veterans Against the War for plans to disrupt the 1972 Republican convention” was also beyond acceptable bounds. Just after completion of the survey, the trial against the Vietnam veterans’ group was dismissed. By 68 to 17 percent, a majority feel the same way about the drawing up of an “enemies” list by the White House of opponents of President Nixon. By 83 to 8 percent, the public is massively critical about the hiring of private detectives by the White House to spy on the sex life, drinking habits, and family problems of political opponents. By 55 to 31 percent, Americans now agree that the National Guard shooting at rioting students at Kent State University which resulted in four deaths was “unjustified and repressive.” Back in 1970, by a narrow 40-39 percent margin, the publiccondoned the Kent State sho tings as “necessary and justified.” By 67 to 23 percent, the public condemns the idea of sentencing a college student to 20 years in jail for possession of marijuana. Back in the 1960’s a Virginia student was given such a sentence. By 50 to 33 percent, the public also rejects any rationale in support of “court orders and municipal decrees banning rock music festivals after tickets have been sold and the audiences have begun to assemble.” - - - - — - Those interviewed were shown a list of controversial incidents that have taken place over the past few years. In only one of the episodes tested, “the police tactics in Chicago at the time of the 1968 Democratic convention,” did the public give its approval. By a narrow 42-38 percent, a plurality of the public still believe that the action by Chicago police in using violence against demonstrators on that occasion was “justified and necessary.” However, back in 1970, a much more decisive 53-26 percent majority gave its backing to the tactics of Chicago police. In retrospect, the American people are now convinced much more than they were a few years ago that the country has been living through a “more repressive” period. The national cross section was asked: “Would you say things have become more repressive in this country in the past few years, less repressive, or not much different?” 1973 52% More repressive Less repressive Not much different Not sure by David J ,,Rubin Stafffyriter 1970 35% 22 Undoubtedly, a number of the disclosures in the Watergate affair have heightened both public- awareness of governmental acts which are viewed as repressive, and also have turned around publicopinion dramatically in raising people's concerns about repression. The cross section was asked about these specifics: "We'd like to remind you of some incidents and episodes that have taken place in this country over the past couple of years.

Ext. 3249. by Dave Hnath Staff Writer Spectrum Buffalo’s new soccer coach, Sal Esposito, exudes optimism when discussing the prospects of this year’s hooters. “I expect we’ll have a winning season,” claims Esposito. “We have an extremely tough schedule, especially Ohio University (NCAA semi-finalist in 1972) and Brockport (1972 SUNYAC co-champions). I’ve got to get them (the Bulls) to play together as a team. If I can get them playing together as a unit, we’ll be on our way.” The 1972 soccer Bulls, despite having compiled a record of seven wins against four losses, were weak offensively, averaging only 2.2 goals per game. The defense carried the hooters through much of last season and that could be Esposito stated. “McBee hasn’t been out enough for me to get a good look at him,” added Esposito, indicating that Daddario will be the probable starter tomorrow against Syracuse. Returning to lead the mid-field corps is sophomore Jerry Galkiewicz, a freshman standout on the ’72 squad. “We’re depending on him at halfback,” said Esposito. “He’s got a good working knowledge of the game and he’s a real hustler.” Galkiewicz will be joined at one halfback spot by Mike Pietrasik, a walk-on and pleasant surprise for Esposito. “Mike was like finding a diamond in a coal bin a real gem. I’m much impressed by his play, and I expect big things from him.” f Newcomers populate the forward line in an attempt to generate the scoring punch that the Bulls often lacked in 1972. One of the top guns will be Jude Ndenge, a sophomore who sat out last season due to an eligibility problem. “Jude has a tremendous knowledge of the game, as well as tremendous ability with the ball,” said Esposito. Joining Ndenge at an inside spot will be wither Kolo Babagama, another sophomore, or Jim Young, a transfer from Middlesex CC. Esposito remarked; “Jim will be used as a utility man. He can move anywhere up front he’ll do the job any place 1 put him.” Manning one of the outside slots will be the sole returning letterman on the line, sophomore Doug Leininger. “Doug has a knack for setting up play on his side of the field,” said Esposito. “We’ll be counting on him on one of the wings.” The competition on the other wing is wide open, with junior Justus Reeves leading the competition for the starting the case again- this year. Spearheading the defense this season will be Jim Lienert, one of the two Buffalo seniors on the team. “Jim is the key to the defense,” remarked Esposito. “He’s a real hustler and he’s got a big foot.” Flanking Liehert will be sophomore Jim Baker, who was a starter last year and Paul Marcolini, an “extremely aggressive” transfer from Orange CC. Daddario to start The Bulls have two goaltenders backing up the defense in incumbent Jeff McBee, starter during most of 1972, and freshman Frank Daddario. “Frank has a lot of guts. He’s got what it takes to be a good goalie and he’s a very serious contender for the starting position in goal;” — How you express yourself depends upon your camera. — spot.

For eight years CAC has depended on student volunteers. And for eight years CAC has had the same problem too few students give a - ’ damn. CAC never gits' enough in day care, CAC offers the volunteers, but this year the Comer House Nursery School shortage is worse than usual. accredited and registered with the recr king New York State Board of Despite extensive efforts, CAC director Mark Carlin Education and the Walls Memorial is “very disappointed with the Headstart Center, to natrie only showing.” Crowds at the CAC two projects. recruiting fair in the Fillmore In drug-related programs, CAC The Spectrum Vol. 24, No. 13 ' *8*; > State University of New York at Buffalo Wedneeday, 19 September 1973 - / - Room have been so sparse as to cause one volunteer to remark bitterly: ‘This year’s freshman class is just interested in getting stoned and getting laid.” A shortage of volunteers for CAC would force cutbacks in the 48 programs currently organized to serve the Buffalo community. These programs, organized under the general headings of Day Care, Drug Treatment, Social Welfare and Health and Tutorials, reach thousands of people who need help; : volunteers man drop-in centers for alcoholics, drug prevention and education centers, and counseling services. Those interested in health care can choose from a dozen projects. CAC volunteers work in Buffalo health hospitals, community centers, learning centers for the handicapped, birth control and pregnancy counseling. Wide variety The social service programs run the gamut from working with Girl Scouts to working with the American Civil Liberties Union. Largest organization CAC normally gets about 1000 Students can Work with a theater students every year. “Without company, a basketball league or a those students we cannot single child. function,” said Leigh Lachman, Tutorial and recreational assistant director for Public programs give students a chance Relations.

But it won’t stay work with Seneca Indians at the that way without volunteers.

For those interested work for any volunteer who wants . * WNYPIRG to work. CAC has a day camp and an environmental action project. It has contacts all over the city to provide an outlet for any student who wants to serve the community.' This year CAC will be giving its volunteers the theoretical background to equip them with the knowledge they need to do their jobs. said one of CAC’s major problems has been that volunteers were “turned out into the wilderness” not really knowing what to do. CAC will cooperate with the Colleges in giving courses and will train project leaders so they can better direct their activities. Volunteers, like coordinators and directors, get no money for their efforts. And current student fee use, though to reportedly open do npt allow reinterpretation, CAC to reimburse students for their expenses. Volunteering for CAC a requires special commitment for social change. If you’d like to offer a little of your time, CAC is waiting for you; Room 220 Norton (831-3609) any weekday between 9 a.m. and on ~ controversy funding referendum is slated by Amy Dunkin Campus Editor A Student; Association (SA) referendum oh October 2,3 and 4 ; hopefully settle the vHll controversial funding question for the Western New York Public Group Interest Research (WNYPIRG). The referendum is the outcome of an action by SA President Jon Dandes, who returned to the Student Assembly its legislation that the SA should obtain membership with New York State (NYSPIRG) by entering into a formal contract. Attached to the motion was a rider that would have raised the mandatory student activities by $3 and subsequently turned the money over to WNYPIRG. The purpose of the referendum, Mr. Dandes explained, is to determine the opinion of the general student body on increasing the mandatory student fee. Any further action in the Student Assembly will be based on the results, he said. In a letter addressed to the Student Assembly, Mr. Dandes explained that although he “firmly believes in the philosophy of WNYP1RG,” he felt the action taken by the Student Assembly at its meeting last May 16 was “arbitrary and capricious.” The motion was proposed after Assembly the had finished reviewing budgets for more than six hours. At that time, about one half of the members walked out of the meeting, leaving their voting instructions to proxies. Out of 32 voting members, 14 were proxies. The final vote was 25-7 in favor of the motion. had “voted for ignorance.” Asserting that SA cannot give WN YP1RG the financial security it seeks, Mr. Dandessaid: “Wedonot have the power to authorize use of the mandatory student fee to hire a full-time professional staff of lawyers, doctors, etc.” Additionally, he objected to the fact that the State University of Buffalo “must bear the brunt of the financial obligations for an organization that will benefit other campuses in the area.” He suggested that SA obtain firm financial commitments from other campuses before it promises such large amounts of money. Validity questioned Mr. Dandes wrote; “The decision by the Assembly was reached at the very last meeting of the Assembly as the vpry last item of business after six hours of Meeting during finals week. The preponderence of proxy votes was apparent and leads me.to question the validity of the actual vote.” However, Michelle Smith, Co-chairman of WNYPIRG, $70 ceiling objected to Mr. Dandes’ decision One question that SA Student on the grounds that the vote might Rights Coordinator Cliff Palefsky have been irregular but it was not raised concerns the legality of a $3 illegal. Pointing out that the veto According increase. to Mr. came 16 days after the motion Palefsky, New York State has set a passed the Assembly and most of ceiling at $70 for all mandatory its members bad left for the student fees. Because freshmen and summer, she said: “If the SA had transfer students pay a $3 been more receptive to allowing orientation fee in addition to the the WNYPIRG appeal to come on $67 University fee, they have already die floor of the Assembly,' the readied the limit. in order for the into effect, any student who does matter might have been settled Therefore, much sooner.” WNYPIRG fee to be legally not want to become a member of According to Mr. Dandes, it was justified, it can only apply to WNYPIRG will be entitled to a impossible to give WNYPIRG an sophomores, juniors, and seniors. refund. Emphasizing the importance of earlier position on the agenda “Thus far, SA has granted because it was necessary for the allocating a mandatory fee to WNYPIRG $786 for this semester, budgets to be passed before the WNYPIRG, Ms. Smith said the That is just about enough to cover l&y 16 deadline.

WNYPIRG is actually one part of an overall super-structure of PIRGs on 138 campuses across the country.

A copy of the was also sent to the Safety Consumer Products Commission in Washington, DC. This then compelled the Buffalo Food and Drug Administration to take stronger action against «« survey - Ms. Smith noted that last WNYPIRG successfully completed two major projects in the Buffalo area. In the first, students inspected toy various and department stores, looking for toys that did not meet federal safety regulations. Participants in the offenders. Paper recycling A recycling study which advocated recycling of all paper on campus constituted the second major project. WNYPIRG was deeply concerned because the upcoming projects, provided they acquire funds, are planned as follows: WNYPIRG's an investigation of the fat content in the meat sold in the University area to determine if retailers are violating federal standards; a quick consumer price survey of stores in the vicinity to inform students where they can get the best buys; the most comprehensive price survey ever done of the entire city of Buffalo, comparing prices of over 300 items in ghetto and suburban — — — neighborhoods; an examination of theuse of X-rays in Buffalo to check evidence that certain required safety procedures are being followed, thus not exposing patients to radiation danger; and an over-the-counter drug survey of d rugstor« frequented by students, and a comparison of generic vs. brand names. — - University generates approximately five tons of paper a day. As a result of their study,, recycling of paper on a full scale will begin shortly in Norton, Foster, and O’Brian Halls. Additionally, this program will probably be expanded in the future to include the recycling of other waste materials.'' In an attempt to organize all the PIRGs in New York State under a central office, NYSPIRG has recently come into existence. According to Ms. Smith, the directors of NYSPIRG will be responsible for deciding major policy coordinating and a permanent professional staff to direct research and provide continuity from year to year. Newly-appointed chairman Donald Ross, who wrote the basic PIRG manual entitled Action For a Change, will speak at the State University of Buffalo tonight at 8:30 p.m. Presently, an ad hoc committee representing WNYPIRG is applying survey discovered many retailers who were selling toys that were to NYSPIRG for local board status. federally either banned or However, Ms. Smith said will accept considered dangerous to children.

According to YAF members Jim — Wilson and Jackie Davies: “YAF is a bi-partisan grqup of young people that believes in the principles of conservatism and free enterprise. Our basic purpose is to educate people to those principles through the use of speakers, films and the like.” This semester the major emphasis of YAF activities on campus will be an attempt to end mandatory student fees, with special attention being given to the PIRG referendum in mid-October. According to Mr. Wilson; “Support for student activities should be voluntary, since it’s our money being spent.” He vehemently added that “the student government should not take our money from us and distribute it without our consent.” Due to the newness of the Buffalo chapter of YAF, additional plans remain hazy. Room for dissent According to Ms. Davies, YAF members have much room for 1 dissent and each individual member is permitted to pursue whatever program he supports. On basic philosophy all YAF’crs are united behind the following I) beliefs: the importance of the individual arid his freedom and the uniqueness of the United States as an historical experiment; 2) the notion that free market economy is the best system feasible to preserve the freedom that YAF believes in; 3) the premise that the main function of government is to ensure an orderly, free society without growing too large or having too much power, as it seemingly does today; 4) the principle that a moral victory over Communism and the fact that the greatest threat to individual freedom today is international Communinism should both be stressed. = EXPERIENCING CASAELYA Saturday, Sept. 22, i - 9 a.m. — 4 p.m. - $6.00 350 Elmwood Ave. Buffalo A smorgasbord of 3 hour programs!

The YAF literature found on their table in thp Fillmore Room consists of leaflets and bumper stickers which read, “No General Amnesty, No aid to Hanoi” and various booklets ranging from anti-Ralph anti-abortion and Nader. When questioned what YAF offered students, Mr. Wilson stated: “It gives conservatives a group to work from.” Ms. Davies added that, “YAF is the only group that offers a viable solution to the problems of government today in that it emphasizes less government intervention instead of more.” YAF may face a stormy life on campus in the weeks ahead. According to two YAF members, a representative of a campus Maoist group approached their table and began dumping literature on the floor of the Fillmore Room. Additionally, members of the Revolutionary Communist Youth, a Trotskyist dismissed YAF , as group, inconsequential and stated fjiat they should “be driven off campus by a movement of workers and students.”' They admitted, however, that their group would not take it upon themselves to carry out such a plan.

Today’s article deals with how the law affects the Buffalo area. Friday’s article will focus on the law's effect upon the University community. by Marc Jacobson City Editor For the past nineteen days, New York State has had the toughest drug law in the nation. The law, designed to get the “big-time pusher” and clear the streets of illegal narcotics traffic, has been immersed in controversy since its inception. The rest of the country .is carefully watching to judge the law’s effectiveness and ramifications. The general theme the conversations with persons knowledgeble about the law in Buffalo was that the law has had a definite effect upon drug traffic in the street, but that it is too early to tell exactly what the long-term and larger effects of the law would be. Captain Kevin Connors of the Narcotics Division of the Buffalo Police Department said Street activity has either diminished or become more secretive. He believes the traffic has actually diminished, and that many of the “big-time, open” dealers have left the • State. Same job for police Cipt ."Connors feels that the policeman’s job is still basically the same. His powers for arresting offenders has not been increased, nor have the investigatory powers of his agency. However, Capt. Comiors said that the Police Department will work closely with the other agencies involved in drug cases such as the Efie County Sheriff’s Department and the Federal Bureau of Investigation. Formerly, drug dealers would openly peddle their wares on the streets of Buffalo. In the last two weeks, however, Capt. Connors has reported that the have resorted to leaving the goods in one particular place, and retrieving the money for them in another. This type of activity avoids the face-to-face contact that often leads to arrest. In addition to the more surrepititous nature of drug traffic, the number of transactions has reportedly decreased. According to Capt. Connors, pushers are holding back on their narcotics, adopting the “wait-and-see” attitude which has permeated the minds of all people involved with the new law from users to enforcers. This withholding of drugs has caused fhe price of a bag of heroin on Buffalo’s streets to dse from $10 a bag to $ 15 a bag. • - Decrease in arrests heroin. When thorough laboratory tests were completed, it was discovered that none of the confiscated bags had any heroin in them at all. The bags did contain substantial amounts of quinine, and/or milk sugar. A careful reading of the law reveals that the penalties for certain drug-related offences are more severe than the penalties for murder. This raises the question of whether an addict would be more prone to shoot a policeman, or some other agent if the addict were confronted with arrest, and the resulting life sentence. Capt. Connors responded to this question by stating that when a narcotics raid occurs, the arresting officer usually has an entourage of assistants, most of them armed. “In this situation, the addict certainly would be the loser, particularly in light of every policeman’s weapons training.” However, Capt. Connors added “one person’s guess is as good as anybody elsc’s.” Graduate students at the State Holt, was concerned with the University of Buffalo are taking possibility that “the offsetting steps to offset a recent $500,000 factor of the incentive awards had cut in their tuition waiver program. already been cancelled by the While it originally appeared that reduction in the tuition waiver many students would lose waivers program.

Connors feels that the average rank-and-file police officer “doesn’t know much about the law.” As yet, no material has been sent out informing the officers about the law. However, fire Police Department is holding a seminar on the law to answer the police force’s questions. Capt. Connors is “happy the authorities aren’t giving up on the problem. If this doesn’t work, they 11 have to try something else," he said. Focusing on the marijuana sections of the law, Capt. Connors said he was in agreement with the new law because “we know so little about marijuana." Capt. Connors said that taking marijuana causes “loss of reasoning powers and unconsciousness.” Patrolman Jerome Mclntee of the 16th precinct said he thinks the new law is “great.” Mr. Mclntee, Editor of The Blue Line a Buffalo police publication, feels the average patrolman is happy with the law, because it comes down hard on the heroin pushers, and is still relatively lenient on marijuana. An immediate effect of the law is that major crimes are going down, he said, pointing out that 75% of all crime is commited by drug users to support their habits. , Traveling pushers The Sheriff’s Department has declared the law a good one, but one that is far from perfect. A spokesman for Sheriff Mike Amico said that there would be fewer arrests, “hopefully,” than the 1100 to 1200 arrests made annually in Buffalo.

You won’t find this fad in Vogue or Seventeen because the nude look refers to the removal of ivy from Hayes and Foster Halls. The nudity is the result of a $94,900 project granted by the state for the restoration of the two buildings. According to Richard Sebian, Grounds Construction foreman for the University, the ivy was originally planted 40 or 45 years ago after a campaign to give the school an ivy league-type status. Over the years the ivy has grown. Mr. Sebian explained that it adhered to buildings by clinging to the fissures in stones and mortar. Compounded with the normal weathering processes, these fissures are forced to expand, thereby weakening the edifice. Deterioration has become critical enough to necessitate repair. Joseph Carlini, foreman for Raymond E. Kelley Contractors, describes the situation: “We caught it just in time. If the job were not done now, it would become a major problem.” A major repair would involve the replacement of fallen stones and rebuilding of bulging, weakened walls. Such repair is extremely costly. Thfe present job requires pointing (the plugging of masonery that has been cracked away), and is much less severe. . Precautions taken Precautions have been made to save the ivy by the plants have leaving the original roots intact ' already begun to regrow. Within a few years, the ivy will reclaim its lost glory.

T . v^joessisiM^^ j p �Add deadline takes SA votes to fund Sub-Board effect this semester Executive committee meetin 'Student Association (SA) voted Monday to give Sub-Board I $280,000 with the possibility of increasing that allocation by $20,000 for the Scholastic Housing Corporation. The increase would occur if Sub-Board ‘dacidps'at its meetip& tomorrow to continue-funding the corporation. The $20,000 spurred considerable debate after Sub-Bcprd Vice-Rresiderit Jennifer' ’Washburn pay back money explained that' it would go from the housing corporation. Sub-Board borrowed Ms. Washburn pointed out that Sub-Board was forced last year to use the money it had already allocated to Scholastic Housing for debts incurred by such financial disasters as the Buffalo Folk Festival. If the money is not repaid Scholastic Housing could sue Sub-Board for not meeting its contractual agreement, she said. This came as a surprise to most of the executive committee who had believed that the $20,000 was intended for new ventures. Some executives questioned whether the contract between Scholastic Housing and Sub-Board was binding. ‘ to• Contract questioned According the SA Vice-President Dave Saleh, the contract as judged by the attorney for Sub-Board is loosely worded and not binding. Conversely, another attorney said the contract was binding and could be used “to nail Sub-Board against the wall,” according to Ms. Washburn. Scholastic Housing was set up two years ago to provide students with housing on a cooperative basis. Since that time it has been funded by Sub-Board on the basis that it would eventually generate enough income to become self-sustaining. Questioning SA invovlement in Scholastic Housing, Jon Dandes, President, asked the executives to consider whether they felt it “appropriate and obligatory” for student fees to be committed for projects extending beyond their stay at the University. He also asked if SA should be bound by commitments made by past student associations. - Mr. Saleh, who, along with Student Rights coordinator, Cliff Palefsky, voted against the $20,000 allocation, felt the executive committee was not sufficiently informed about the corporation to take any action. He therefore suggested that housing be viewed as a “separate entity“"with its allocation dependent upon whether Sub-Board continues funding corporation. the executive committee had been reviewing the Sub-Board budget all week-before its Monday meeting. Besides housing, Sub-Board funds publications. University Union Activities Board (UUAB) and health care projects, such as the birth control center. In other action, Mr. Dandes responded to Monday’s The Spectrum, which some executives said had contained “unfair and biased” articles. “Whatever the papers say, we will be able to leave office next March, look into the face of any student and say that we did our best to do the things that are best for students,” said Mr. Dandes. - Procedure denied Commenting on an item in Monday’s The Spectrum regarding new procedures to remove SA officers, Mr. Saleh said such a move was never “seriously considered.” He also denied there was a committee to discuss this matter. He continued that SA has initiated many new programs, including grievance procedures and a project called “Operation Identification.” In addition, he felt SA had become more visible to students along with demonstrating a high degree of fiscal responsibility.

On October 3,4 and 5, students will participate in a referendum to decide, among other things, the future of the Western New York Public (merest Research Group (WNYPIRG). The basic question is whether students want to raise the mandatory student fee presently $67 by $3 to fund the consumer organization. PIRG wants to join the state-wide network of PIRGs which requires obtaining a $3 allocation - - per student. No matter where people line up on this issue, all seem generally agreed that the ideas and methods behind PIRG are a welcome addition to the battle for consumer's rights. They have many valuable programs planned, but the question students should ask is: Where will its focus be? Students cannot afford to support a group that is oriented toward the city, region or state, nice as that might be. PIRG should concentrate on student services with a University focus. It would be unfair for this school's students to carry an unfair burden for a Buffalo-oriented organization without similar commitments from other area campuses. PIRG promises great results from a professional staff and large programs, but can students afford to subsidize a project on this scale? The same argument has been rightly lodged against Housing and Health Care great ideas, but can students afford them? It becomes difficult to justify the $67 fee by telling a student we will acquire 10 houses five years from now. Fortunately, Sub-Board is taking steps toward making those ventures income-offset. A $3 raise in the fee would also only apply to sophomores, juniors and seniors, since freshmen already pay the SUNY limit of $70. But there may be other alternatives to funding PIRG. Can it be funded from within the present fee? It's a matter of priorities, but some SA officials have expressed interest in that idea. Could it be funded at $1.50 or $2.00 per student, instead of the $3.00 "required" by state wide PIRG? Three dollars is a large chunk of $67. A voluntary fee is another alternative, although PIRG officals have said people could request a refund on their $3. This is not a truly voluntary fee, since students cannot register without paying the full mandatory student fee. Voluntary means the burden is on the organization to collect it, not on the students to demand a refund. There is no doubt that PIRG can make solid contributions in the consumer field, but on what scale can students afford such a venture? One or two full-time professionals, office and field expenditures and a bunch of volunteer students should enable PIRG to function as well as CAC or the Legal Aid Clinic. If students want to part with another $3.00 in fees to fund PIRG, they will make that decision in the upcoming referendum. But as a most heavily-taxed group in relation to their income, we suspect they will insist on a cheaper formula by which to fund a consumer rights group. - •Will, YiS, DICK, I DO MALIZI MOTHIK ALWAYS LUCID Ml THAT WHYTT Correction ignored.

Now, whether secular schedules should conform to sacred time is an open question and, of course, University Time is sacred in the eyes of many. But the practical problem for the instructor at the classroom level is that students who choose to observe Passover and Holy Week simply take a 5 -day weekend. And this is not at all comparable to taking Glenn Hufnagel Language Lab community. Students, actively working for social change on a totally volunteer basis, have done much to alter the city's stereotyped image of the "long-haired, drug-using hippie" student. Such a positive accomplishment cannot be taken lightly when one considers the height of animosity between Buffalo and the students they saw as invading their city just four years ago. But beyond the good community relations they help foster, CAC projects represent a vital outlet for those who sit around and bitch about the shortcomings of society to get off their best intentions and do something. On the whole this University's students have been commendable for putting their effort where their mouth is. CAC can almost be regarded as a social indicator, since its effectiveness has varied with the intensity and amount of student commitment. When students turn out in large numbers, CAC is able to expand its number of projects and the range of each program, and the impact of social assistance, although difficult to fflafture, is greatly increased. Let us continue to demonstrate the type of commitment to change that has made CAC the largest organization of its type in the country. CAC wants you. It cannot function without you.

(Everything is one in its being “related to humans.”) Nevertheless, recognition of the nature of “political” media can easily make that media equivocal and doing continuous violence if it is to any extent stiflingly formal. The press, to be moral, cannot permit itself to be used by the right or left to preclude other alternatives (less structured, more personal)- for dialog.

Rasch, submitted a cover letter with his song. He wrote; “Time doesn’t permit me to do much of this sort of thing, but I did knock out a ballad-type song. As for the name, well, I called it Old Buffalo. The song begins; Old Buffalo old Buffalo AH that we ask may The years ofyour future Be as bright as your past. , Musician Goodale and lyricist Botsford are not likely to become a famous musical team like Bacharach and David or the Gershwin Brothers. Critical reaction to a copy of the song, arranged for the University Glee Club by Henry S. Hendy, has been mixed. A music student working in the University Archives blew the dust off the song and tried unsuccessfully to sing it. v Among students who have seen the alma mater, the first reaction is generally hysterical laughter. Even President Robert Ketter can’t remember how it goes. No one remembers the last time it was sung, though some suspect that the 1905-06 academic year, in which Mr. Hendy put the song in the glee club’s repertoire, was the last. O say can you see? Apparently someone noticed that, like The Star Spangled Banner and other anthems, the Alma Mater Song (it has no other title) is very difficult to sing. Various members of the University community attempted to scratch out the tune for decades until; in 1955, the Student Public Relations Committee announced a contest for a new alma mater and a new football (we had it then) fight song. Unfortunately for those who disliked an alma Indian trod the silent wood,” only eight entries were submitted.

The Spgctrjuurn Pagenine ■ . �Undefeated Bulls take two from Brockport Jim Mary and Jim Marzo provided Buffalo’s three runs. Bull coach Bill Monkarsh was ecstatic about his pitching staff after the doubleheader. “See what a difference a year makes,” said Monkarsh. “A year of experience and maturity and realizing they have the ability to pitch makes a by Dave Geringer Sports Editor Due to an obvious lack of hitting punch thus far, the baseball Bulls have been forced to other methods to defeat their fall opponents. Three Buffalo hurlers held Brockport hitless until the final inning of Buffalo’s 8-3 second- game victory over the Golden Eagles. The Bulls took the opener, 3-1. The sweep raised the Bulls’ fall won-lost mark to 3-0. Lefthanders Jim Niewczyk, Wayne Fry and John Buszka had held Brockport hitless until Steve Brockport’s shortstop Turner singled off third base to lead off the eighth and final frame of the second game. Mike McDermott’s home run then gave the Eagles their only earned runs of the afternoon. The Bulls had lopg since wrapped up the nightcap, tallying eight runs on just four hits as six Brockport errors led to six unearned runs for Sabres action Sabres fans will be given the opportunity to view their team in action tomorrow. In an exhibition hockey game Thursday, September 20, the Buffalo Sabres Rookies, plus a few veterans, will be matched against the Cincinnati Swords. All proceeds from the game, to be played at Holiday Twin Rinks in Cheektowaga, will be given to the University at Buffalo Foundation, for use in the University's general scholarship fund. The donation for all 2800 general admission tickets is $4. A sell-out game will result in a $11,200 addition to the scholarship fund. Tickets are still available today and tomorrow at the Alumni offices, 123 Jewett Parkway and at the Norton Ticket office. Face-off time is 8 p.m. Buffalo. The Bulls used the long ball to come from behind in the first contest. Buffalo collected just five hits from Brockport hurlers Steve Stamer and Kevin Kelly in the opener, but four of those were extra-base blows.

As a result, we have to resort to stealing, playing hit and run and forcing the other team to make the plays in the field.” The Bull pitching staff will take its collective 1.33 ERA to the mound against Mansfield State this afternoon in the Bulls’ home opener at Peelle Field. Meanwhile, the hitters will attempt to improve their team batting average of .192 before facing Niagara in a doubleheader this Saturday at the Purple Eagles’ campus in Niagara Jails.

Vice-President Spiro T.' Agnew, under investigation for alleged bribery, extortion and tax law violations, has held ‘lengthy discussions” on voluntarily resigning from his position, the Washington Post reported yesterday. An unidentified “senior Republican figure” says he is "99Vi percent certain” that Mr. Agnew will resign, after spending four hours with the Vice-President last week attempting to talk him out of the decision. The official predicted the resignation may come this week, the Post said, although Agnew staff members and supporters were highly skeptical that the Vice-President would step down. Mr. Agnew refused comment on the story. The Senate Foreign Relations Committee approved Henry A. Kissinger as Secretary of State yesterday by a vote of 16-1. The lone dissenting vote was cast by Senator George McGovern, who said it was a “symbolic protest” against die Nixon Administration’s Indochina policies.

Two of the studies will experiment with new chemical agents and the third study will examine the results of various methods of treatment. - Methadone maintenance programs for heroin addicts have been confronted by the problems of overdose and resale. A heroin antogonist, naltrexone, is the subject of the first study. This drug is supposed to provide a safer replacement than methadone since it does not produce euphoric effects and is non-addictive. Zebulon Taintor, associate chairman of the Psychiatry Department and major investigator of the studies, said naltrexone may be “another step down the path to achieving the goal of preventing heroin addiciton.” Craving gone Heroin antagonists such as naltrexone act by the euphoric effects of heroin. In this manner they eliminate the physical craving for the opiate. Methadone frees the addict from craving tlje drug, but unlilcfe naltrexone, it is addictive and can become just as difficult to withdraw from as heroin. Naltrexone “seems to be so free of side effects,” said Dr. Taintor. He explained that naltrexone is given orally and talien up by “narcotic receptor sights," particularly in the central nervous system. Naltrexone blocks the receptor sights, preventing them from receiving heroin. The heroin in turn is metabolised. Dr. Taintor's interest in the naltrexone study is “to provide people with a way of avoiding the continued use of heroin. We are looking for a drug that will have one action, that is, to prevent heroin addiction." Presently there are approximately 200,000 to 600,000 heroin addicts. “There is a fashion to overestimate real addicts,” said Dr. Taintor. “Young people, especially black youths in the ghetto, no longer see heroin as the cool thing to get turned on to.” He added that since 1969 heroin addiction has decreased. Barbituate addicition has gone up mostly because there are “no fancy rehabilitation methods to help this type of addict.” blocking Seeking treatment Approximately 100,000 addicts seek treatment. “I have seen people on drugs for 20 years and they suddenly decide to start a family. These types are motivated towards rehabilitation,” said Dr. Taintor. “Unless people really appreciate life, they might not choose treatment so well.” Dr. Taintor stressed the need for treatment centers to make the punitive drug law enacted this September a constructive means of eliminating drug addiction. Naltrexone will be part of a nine-month study to begin in four weeks: The study will be held at the Volunteers studied , ' treatment programs. People interested in participating in the naltrexone study should contact the Emergency Drug Abuse Service 894-1447 at Meyer Memorial Hospital.

However, Mr. Dandes had sent expects to'announce the details of a $244,000 athletic budget this a memo to Sub-Board informing afternoon. However, this budget them that a budget of $200,300 requires the Student Assembly to had been officially approved. Two add $22,000 to its previous ceiling days later, SA‘ treasurer Ken linker had to rescind that memo of $200,000. This third draft of the budget when he checked the constitution represents a cut of approximately and found that 9 affirmative votes $55,000 from the department’s are needed tp pass a budget in the second proposal made last May..

Despite this the Assembly reconvenes in technicality, SA President Jon October.

Foi; all practical purposes, this mostly out of intramurals and recreation. Because of the is the first time in several years contractural obligations of the that athletics have had an intercollegiate program, little operating budget this early in the could supposedly be trimmed term. Mr. Dandes explained that from that area. However, this also, the budget would have been done has possible political overtones earlier if associate Athletic because since the two cut director Bob Deming and Student programs Contributing Editor Athletic Review Board Chairman Steve Oinas had not resigned. “Nothing was done on it until about three weeks ago,” said Mr. Dandes. “Then Ken linker and I looked it over. We couldn’t make an appropriate recommendation but we knew hao much money we could give,” continued Mr. Dandes. He indicated that moeny was tight and that the SA could not afford a higher figure. ' Intramurals hurt Actually the total budget is only a few thousand dollars less than last year’s and the individual lines are expected to be virtually the same if the Assembly approves the extra $20,000 promised by Mr. Dandes. However Dr. Fritz reports that lodging costs and and tournament dues have gone up. Also, the price some meeting of food, a major component of intercollegiate budgets has skyrocketed. “The picture is grim but not hopeless,” said Dr. Fritz. “We are just not going to be able to do some of the things we wanted to do.” Dr. Fritz also indicated that contractual agreements limited the choice of where cuts could come from. Intramurals, recreation, club sports and some of the smaller intercollegiate programs will be hardest hit. “These are the areas thaf asked biggest increases,” siad Dr. Fritz. He added that the rapid growth that has characterized the department in recent years (the addition of lacrosse,_ bymnastics, soccer, etc.) will have to be slowed down. Committee proposed In a related development, Mr. Dandes announced that he will meet with President Ketter for the purpose of forming a committee to study athletics and give is some direction. “The athletic department has never been given Counter-picket Monday, direction, nor has there been a determination of what the students want,” said Mr. Dandes. “I will not leave this office without having first attempted to amke a determination as to where, how and by what means athletics is going.” “We are going to be perfectly frank and honest with the Athletic Department and the professionals that work there and try to deal with what the students want,” added Mr. Dandes. 1 believe that we owe that to the Athletic Department and we owe it to ourselves as the students who are paying for the program.” When asked if this plan would work, Mr. Dandes replied; “It has to work. We can’t keep going like this,” in apparent reference to the instability of the department. Dr. Fritz agreed that the department needed some direction but was a bit concerned that students involved in only one activity or none at all, would be making decisions that affect the lives of other students as well as the career coaches. Young students took to the streets in front of Cass School in Detroit last week to prtoest the teacher strike.

Inter-Residence Council and the Clifford Furnace College (College D) of MacDonald Hall. The conflict began during the summer, when a letter was sent by College D to their new residents, asking them to pay a S20 activities fee directly to the College and to boycott payments to IRC. College D hoped it could arrange to obtain partial IRC benefits for their non-lRC members in return for a share of the College's own paid fees. Warren Breisblatt, financial resident advisor of College D, said students were informed that the boycott would give the College “a better bargaining position” in the University is that which goes to the SA. The SA then told the College D staff to send a second letter to its residents clarifying that the fee was not mandatory, but merely a request. The College obliged and mailed out the correction. Mr. Breisblatt explained that in the past College D relied on outside contributions procured by its headmaster Lyle Borst, for funding its own unique activites such as lectures and trips geared to its science-oriented members. However, that type of financial backing is not certain and could not provide the College the flexibility it would like. It was for this reason that the financial request was made directly to its residents. Fringe benefits The College will provide negotiations. refrigerator rentals and air fare At a meeting last Monday in reductions for its members, MacDonald’s main lounge, Mitch similar to IRC benefits, but would Regenbogen, activities chairman like the IRC to grant its members of IRC, was the .only admission to their sponsored representative from his group to movies and beer blast parties in for appear and found himself exchange monetary confronted with a barrage of compensation.

Eve assails inaction on Attica Calling Attica state prison both “inhuman” and “insensitive,” Arthur Eve, outspoken State Assemblyman from Buffalo spoke Thursday on the lack of substantial changes at that institution. Mr. Eve, appearing before a sparse gathering in Haas Lounge, directed much of his talk to the problems confronting the inmates indicted as a result of the bloody rebellion that took place two years ago. The Assemblyman is one of the few remaining activists who were originally involved in negotiating a settlement of the inmate rebellion. Defense fund establishhd The Buffalo Common Council, in a move which Mr. Eve called “amazing,” voted to name last week “Attica Memorial Week.” Intensive drives in the Western New York area have been initiated to raise over one million dollars needed to properly defend the 61 inmates already indicted. Mr. Eve contends that the State has spent over S3 million in prosecuting the inmates, not including the salaries of staff investigating the uprising that are already on the state’s payroll. x During the rebellion, the inmates presented 28 demands to the administrators of the institution. Of those demands, eight were not implemented at all, another five were implemented for the entire prison population, and the remainder were either partially instituted or enacted for a select few, reported Mr. and the consciousness-raising of the community is an Eve. active, committed University community, Mr. Eve said.

Circulation: 14,000 �A constitutional amendment outlining new procedures for the removal of Studeot Assodation officers has reportedly been considered by a special SA committee. Currently, officers may only be removed when a recall petition containing signatures of 10% of undergraduate student body is filed with the SA Office of Elections and Credentials. Coordinators may not only be recalled through that route but also by an ‘absolute’ majority vote of Student Assembly members supporting such an action. The change being discussed would eliminate this desparity while making it easier to remove SA officers. Executive vice president Dave Saleh has denied that this change was being seriously considered.

Those who see the buildings themselves as more important than the location like their dormitory arrangements. Those who don’t are less satisfied. ■ The Collegiate Assembly has expressed its opposition to Bernard Gelbaum's plan to trim the number of Colleges by possibly two-thirds. The Collegiate Assembly said that Dr. Gelbaum’s proposal is "insufficiently competent in form, tone and content to warrant serious deliberative action,” in a letter addressed to the Academic Affairs Council Executive Committee of the Faculty-Senate and the Faculty-Senate Committee on the Colleges. The proposition by Dr. Gelbaum, Vice President of Academic Affairs, calls for the reduction of the number of Colleges from the present number of thirteen to thfee or four “meritorious” units. Contending that the reduction would increase the academic soundness of the Colleges, Dr. Gelbaum said that the Colleges “would operate in the may be a little small.” said Audri Kretschek, “but the lounges arc & A persona / wake-up phone call Mon thru Fri. $8.00 per month. Grievance lodged A formal grievance has been lodged with the Committee of the Faculty-Senate concerning Dr. Gelbaum’s approval of the request of Clifford Furnas College to secede from the Collegiate Assembly. The Executive Committee was asked to mediate so that the Collegiate Assembly can discuss with Clifford Furnas College the reasons for its secession and to find possible ways to rectify the situation.. The grievance was filed on the basis that the Administration’s approval of the request to secede was tat violation of the laws under which the Collegiate Assembly operates.. Also discussed was Dr* Gelbaum’s chairing of the meetings. (The laws of the Collegiate Assembly state that in the absence of a director, the vice president for Academic Affairs'shall chair the meetings.) The letter argued that the College Assembly felt Dr. Gelbaum had become acting director in all but title besides chairman of the meetings. A clarification of Dr. Gelbaum’s status was requested in the letter. Dr. Ketter responded that Dr. Gelbaum had his support to serve as an acting director and that he had done nothing inappropriate. This matter is unlikely to be pursued further since an interim director should relieve Dr. Gelbaum in the near future. Dr. Celbaum said the Collegiate Assembly had made it apparent to him that his presence as' chairman was less than “exciting” to the Assembly. He said he was looking forward to the appointment of the new director. CALL NOW! Executive economy of the middle dass, rather than the very vt poor. The letter says that Dr. Gelbaum’s proposal reflects “mere personal prejudices on the part of its author.” Additionally, it says that the proposal was lacking in explanation and was essentially “negative in tone” due tp the brevity of Dr. Gelbaum’s document. _____ Internal review ' The Collegiate Assembly asserted that academic quality already exists in the Colleges, based upon an interna) review made by a University Committee headed by John Halstead. The Halstead Committee said “the Collegiate System, is making a significant and valuable contribution to the University.” Finally, the letter to the AAC Executive Committee pointed out that Dr. Gelbaum’s proposal was made at a poor time. The Colleges are to be reviewed this fall by an external evaluation team to be selected by President Ketter. Fearing that the proposal might bias the Evaluation Team in favor of the “meritorious” units, the letter said: “U is our hope that the � committee will examine and exercise itj: judgement objectively of the independently necessary structure to which Gelbaum’s alludes.” proposal Dr. . . . - 634-0708 cu Membership Meeting (BASH!) 7.00 pm. in the Fillmore Room.

Official reports from Santiago indicate that Dr. Allende committed suicide rather than surrender to his opponents. In the face of growing opposition from right-wing groups over the last few weeks, Allende had stated repeatedly that he would not leave office voluntarily. Control of the government was assumed by a four-man military junta comprised of the heads of the Army, Navy, Air Force and National Police. Dr. Allende had completed only half of his six-year term. During this period, his policy of moving the country toward socialism met with steady opposition from the Chilean middle class. The nationalization of foreign industrial holdings resulted in opposition from abroad and economic instability at home. Anti-government demonstrations had become an almost daily affair in recent weeks. All segments of the population had .united in opposition to runaway inflation, food shortages and a decline in agricultural production. This constant pressure forced the government to take the defensive and made it virtually impossible fot day-to.-day functions to ' * ' ' - - hesitation, they sided The issue came to a head when non-military governments in the trucking industry shut down South America to four.‘t in protest of this government U.S. officials expressed no policy.

News of his' death came when a photographer of El Mercuric, a prominent Santiago newspaper, was allowed to enter the Palace and view the body of the deposed leader. Allende supporters continued to put up resistence both in Santiago and the coastal port of Valparaiso. Rooftop sniping and isolated rebel strongholds prompted the junta to declare a “State of Emergency.” A curfew was put on Santiago and all residents were warned to stay in their houses to avoid the shooting of innocent citizens. Allende supporters were warned that they would be executed if caught. The position of the military regime was strengthened last Thuisday when the moderate Christian Democrat and the right-wing National Party announced their support of the coup. Together, these two parties polled nearly 64% of the vote in a 1970 election in which Dr. Allende received only 32%. In keeping with their pledge to steer the country away from socialism, the junta broke diplomatic relations with Cuba. Officials in Havana expressed fear for the safety of their emissaries in Santiago and called for a special meeting of the U.N. Security Council to look into the matter. Last Tuesday’s coup put an end to 42 years of civilian rule in Cfiile anti reduced Jhe number of A housing shortage in Buffalo is affecting the foreign students on campus. This year about 70 foreign students might be literally left in the cold, due to inadequate housing facilities. These students have come from as far away as Migeria and Taiwan. Frances Pruitt, the acting director of the Foreign Student Office said even married couples are included in the group. She also noted that if foreign students were forced to leave the University because of the housing shortage, a “valuable asset to the University community” would be lost. Foreign students make good tenants because as Mrs. Pruitt says “They are usually serious about getting a college education and as such, are generally very studious and quiet.” In addition many of these students have never experienced winter conditions before and the hardships they are now facing will undoubtedly become more complex with the onset of the colder weather. None of these students have cars. Therefore the availability of a bus service or housing within walking distance of the University is necessary. On Jamacian freshman who could find accomodation only in the downtown Buffalo area, confided that after two weeks he was still finding it difficult to locate bus routes and transfer stops and follow bus scheduls that would bring him to campus Temporary housing Many returning Foreign Students are being housed by friends and collegues, but these arrangements are on a temporary basis and the eventual housing prospects are reportedly not hopeful. The Foreign Student Office has helped foreign students find suitable accomodations in the past and Mrs. Pruitt noted that people of the Buffalo area had responded very generously to this need for housing. This year the closing of the Allenhurst and Tower dorms as well as the increase in the number of University students has made the problem more serious. The housing problem does not only apply to foreign students. The Housing Office admits to a waiting list of 300 students. In addition 450 students are cramped into triples this year. But as one student pointed out, “Adjusting to an unexpected and difficult situation is made even harder when one is a stranger and culturally alienated.” Anyone who can help in any way with providing homes for foreign students or who have apartments to rent or to sublet, can call the U.B. Office of Foreign Student Affairs for more information. The number is 831-3828. Reform services availablefor Jewish High Holiday worship The High Holidays may take on a new significance this year for Reform Jewish college students in the Buffalo area. It will be the first time that Reform services will be available exclusively for college students on Rosh Hashanah, the Jewish New Tear, and Yom Kippur, the Day of Atonement. Previously, Conservative, Orthodox and Chassidic services have been offered for Holy Day worship, but options were limited for Reform students who chose not to attend these types of services. Although Reform temples in Buffalo have always opened their doors to out-of-town students, many have felt uncomfortable and dissatisfied with this arrangement.

As it turned out, a simple phone call to the GSA "What's the story with your allocation?" revealed that $45,000 had been allocated by the GSA last spring, a fact Sub-Board's high-paid Business Manager certainly should have known. However, while Messrs. Blumenkrantz and Goldstein certainly must bear a large part of the blame, we must ask why the SA, which provides the lion's share of money to the Board, has not approved its allocation by now, in mid-September, when it should have been done last May. Most SA members are strongly against Sub-Board's large monetary commitment to Scholastic Housing, and there is little doubt that withholding the allocation was intended as a powerful political wedge against the Board to abandon housing. Regardless of the merits of this argument, fostering a fiscal emergency by withholding money is not the way to influence policy. But it symbolizes the fact that both the student axxociations and Sub-Board operate in their own worlds, issue memos and talk past each other; and students who pay $67 a year in fees, expecting competent management of their money, suffer in the - Wm - X" •V H V ‘ ■ orr Cancel Maddox To the Editor.

This is typical of the Board's sticking its fingers where they don't belong. Isn't it reasonable to assume that members of UUAB or the publications have more expertise in their particular area than a bunch of managerial bureaucrats? Yet the Board's callous attitude is epitomized by a typical Jenny-ism 'This is a managerial-level decision; we make the decision, you work out the details." Sub-Board should insist on fiscal responsibility from its members, but should keep its hands out of policy. They should inform each group of its budget ceiling how much money is available to them and allow each organization to set its own internal priorities. This is the only acceptable route. Otherwise, petty politics and bureaucratic intervention which lacks expertise will bring about the ruin of both the Board and the activities it . ignored. November 1. We in Progressive Labor Party demand that this speaking engagement be cancelled, and urge everyone to write and phone the Student Association Speaker’s Bureau to insure that our student fees are not used to help this racist propagate his views. If the Speaker’s Bureau insists on bringing Maddox, we should organize to give him the reception he deserves. According to Current Biogoraphy, Maddox first hit the headlines following passage of the 1964 Civil Rights Act, when he refused to serve blacks in his Atlanta restaurant. He supplied patrons,, with axehandles to chase away three black students attempting to enter the place and came out waving a gun. He finally shut down the restaurant rather than allow it to be integrated and proceeded to sell several thousand dollars’ worth of “souvenir” axehandles known atf Phkrick drumsticks “t<$ symbolize the segregationist’s method of keeping the Negro in line.” On this platform he ran for governor supported by the Klu Klux Klan. Here are a few quotes from this louse: “one drop of Negro blood in your family could push it back 3,000 years in history.” “God set up the boundaries of the habitations of poeple by continent and I think that our troubles today have been brought about by integration.” “I’m sure there is discrimination and that’s part of America's . Why has Sub-Board failed to be a successful coordinator of student activities and disbursing agent of student funds? Because it ia too political. During the budget battles every summer, its ugly political nature is highlighted for all to see: back-scratching and back-slapping in-fighting. But what comes forth most clearly is Sub-Board's megalomaniac desire to set policy for all its organizations; its distorted view of itself as ann ITT-like, all-powerful corporation with its octopus tentacles reaching into every group. Totally ignoring the fact that organizations cannot effectively be run from a centralized bureaucracy, Sub-Board has antagonized every one of its groups by its internal, infernal meddling. Sub-Board Treasurer Jennifer Washburn in particular has systematically alienated every segment of the student body, including her own political colleagues. In the name of “management," she and the Board have tried to tell the publications and UUAB how to most efficiently operate, despite the fact that they have no expertise in these areas. This summer's UUAB budget hearings were a classic kangaroo court. Instead of telling UUAB that X amount of money was available, and to adjust its programs accordingly, the Board slashed five specific arts programs which were not money-making because they felt this is what students want.

Such a situation was narrowly averted late Thursday afternoons in a crisii which highlighted the total lack of -inmunication between Sub-Board and its six constituent student governments. The Board, $14,000 in debt, had received no allocation from any SA except Millard Fillmore College's. With no other funds promised, Business Manager Lester Goldstein explained, it would be too risky for the Board to borrow any more money from a bank, and Executive Director Steve Blumenkrantz thus issued a memo for immediate shutdown. Mr. Goldstein was urged to call the SA and GSA and explain the urgency of the situation, but he insisted all had been made clear at the last Sub-Board meeting. Not surprisingly, members at that meeting claimed that no urgency was communicated, if they remembered the topic being discussed at all. SA officials indicated privately that if they had known a shutdown was imminent, of course they would have passed an emergency allocation. But rather than attempt a last-minute reconciliation, Mr.' Goldstein stood by his "shut it down" memo.

It seems that Mr. Dandes, in his relentless fervor for acceptance into medical school, has become a cringing, psychophantic POLITICIAN more concerned with his career plans than with serving the interests of students. It’s a well-known fact that because his grade are below the average for med school acceptees, Mr. Dandes' game plan is to “get tight” with President Ketter to facilitate his being admitted to U/B’s medical school, the only [dace where he has even a slight chance of getting in. Ain Miller was right on target when he spoke of Ketter and Dandes “shctwing everyone what good buddies they were.” Even more alarming is that Mr. Dandes will probably gain acceptance to Buffalo med school with a stongly worded letter from Dr. Ketter. After all, when in the past few years can we rcmeber a student official so conservative in politics and style than the present SA President; Such behavior is welcomed by Hayes Hall, especially by Dr. Ketter, in the. same way that a strong Presidential recommendation will be welcomed by a medical schoool admission’s board. At the same time, some dedicated, hardworking and INTELLIGENT student will find himself with a rejection slip. Is this fair?

His final assertions, after a wasteful enumeration of the documented and obvious is to “restore law to this country.” Of course, his assumption is that it ever existed in our era, or in America’s social and economic history.

Is there, within the view of American symbology, mythology, normativism, stratification, captialism, racism, sexism the most latent prospect for the recognition and respect for their rights under law? Not as the laws and norms are presently constituted.

When you pay a call on George Wallace, you find that the Confederate battle flag still flutters over the Statehouse dome, as it did when Jefferson Davis took his oath here in 1861 as President of the Confederacy. Inside, below the rotunda, is a memorial to Lurleen Wallace, who was governor from 1967 to 1968 in her husband’s place. The whole capital is George Wallace’s fortress against an outside world which is at once his target for verbal attack and is caught between its old skepticism of him and its new wooing. But it is an open fortress. Politics in the South is a very personal affair. The outer chamber of the governor’s office is crammed full of people waiting to see him, to shake his hand and have their photos taken with him, to urge his help or hindrance on some bill, to bespeak his favor as suppliants for some appointive job. 1 started by ribbing Wallace a bit about being the beneficiary of the detente wifh China because of the reports that he was having acupuncture treatments. But it was a lame opening, since his wary political mind saw the irony, but also the possible political pitfall for him. His doctor, Jie stressed, was a Chinese who had long practiced in America, and besides, he couldn’t be sure whether his improvement since a recent operation was due to the acupuncture or other treatments. After this failed gambit, he went on to his views about the Nixon-Kissinger detente policies and the SALT talks, which (not surprisingly) were hostile. I suspect that Alabama is not a state which will give Henry Kissinger in his new post his highest popularity rating, and SALT is a four-letter word - - — here. Wallace pulled out all the stops; America must be the first world power, not the second; the Russians have never made an agreement they have kept, and only “meaningful inspection” can give reality to one now; nuclear parity would itself be dangerous, but, we have actually fallen behind; it is all very well to try for relations of trust with the Russians, but don’t turn your back to them while you do; we won’t get a real meeting of minds with them until our next generation and the next Russian generation comes into power which will put consumer goods ahead of expansion. (He didn’t say how our new generation would achieve power it the American hard-liners like himself pave the way for their Russian hard-line counterparts to win power.) How did he enjoy having Sen. Kennedy speaking on the same platform with him at Decatur? Well, comes the amused reply, much of Kennedy’s speech read as if it had been written in Decatur. What strikes a visitor most sharply is his scarcely concealed, almost small-boyish delight at having all his old political rivals and enemies wooing him. His constituents must enjoy this, too. The way he puts it is always in terms of the the insulted and people of Alabama and the South the injured. It is they who have suffered (their suffering and comeback is “one of the great epics of American history”), it is they who were despised by the liberals and are again being wooed. Wallace’s sense of satisfaction at the new line of the Democratic National Committee, and of the Senate liberals who visit him, comes through strongly. So does his warning about the party’s future. If the Democrats again surrender to their “exotic left-wing noisemakers” they will show that “they don’t know enough to come in out of the rain.” This is pretty clearly a strategy for getting out of the rain himself and coming into the comfort and warmth of the national Democratic Party. He is proud of the ’ — inroads he made into the regular primaries in 1972, especially in a Northern state like Michigan. He thinks he might have carried even New York. Hence he isn’t at all surprised at the current talk of a Kennedy-Wallace or Wallace-Kennedy ticket in 1976. I asked why he had resorted to the race issue in his anti-Patterson campaign for the governorship. He denied he had ever used the race issue, but had only argued that the federal government (including the Supreme Court) was coming into Alabama, trying to run things. It is hard to know how genuinely he believes this was not an appeal to the racial feelings of his followers. But clearly he is off that line now. He is derisive about the Northern liberal press which defended the appeal to a “higher law” in the leak of the Pentagon Papers. The South today, he says, still feels it has had a bad deal from the courts on the issue of free choice in schools, “but we abide by the liiw.” This is the new George Wallace, still proud of tradition of which he was part, the Populist surprisingly moderate on desegregation and other domestic issues, a hard-liner on foreign policy, busy al his job, gallant about what fate did to him, determined to be' reckoned with, whether in the No. I spot or the No. 2 spot in 1976. * Copyright 1973, I.os Angeles Times Fred T. Friedman “I’m Gelling Darn Tired Of Your Wanting Clean Air And Clean Government” Andante by Stanley Dayan Social change which benefits the people can only take place when the people want it. It’s that simple, it’s that difficult. All one needs do is think a minute about modern organization. It’s extremely complex, and its chains of decision and execution are very involved. If just the clerks and secretaries of an organization are against some policy, it is very hard for the higher level people to be effective. In this case the legal and established control is resisted by the people who are supposed to do as they are told. But the case of the radical without popular support is far worse. He is obstructed by the lower and the higher levels in his programs. It is well to remember that power ultimately is in the hands of the people. If the people are brainwashed then the society functions brainwashed. If propaganda has been effective, a radical who speaks out against it will be harassed by the very people he is trying to help. Ergo, propaganda is the way that our modern socieilies are controlled. The power struggles within our society postivitely All the air with lies and manipulative propaganda. There is no accepted philosophical starting point. It is not easy to get at reasonably universal prescriptions. Are we brainwashed also? Or more likely, are we just an extreme reaction to the brainwashing? Lies all around us, complex organization which requires popular support to even function. The result? Society is irrational and autonomus, i.e capricious. We have no solid traditional beliefs any more by whick we could judge the relative rationality of an action. Yet the mass is so heavy it requires quite close agreement among people for it even to move. We can’t agree on traditional ideas most are not really valid any more. On ideas rising out of socio-economic conditions? Obviously, but who really understands what conditions produce what idea? As far as I can discover, no one really understands what is going on. It seems as if our society is a crazy autonomous organizm. It is my newly-arrived-at opinion that if one wanted to change our society, he would have to create a system of propositions which would be taken popularly the truth. Not verbal truth; truth in the sense that these propositions would be taken for granted. Can you imagine that: a new set of propositions which construction workers and schoolteachers and waiters and nurses would take for granted! It might happen. But you can bet your bippy no group small or large has a defintive say. As for the power elite, they are not teaching the horse to jump a hurdle; they are doing all they can just to stay seated.

The origin of mind is body. Can you put a piece of blue sky in your pocket ? " Ron Martin is one of the artists included in the group show Recent Canadian Painting and Sculpture in Gallery 219 of Norton Union. The show, which includes hand-picked selections of abstract Canadian art and sculpture, is one of the most important ever to come to Gallery 219. On view until September 28, the show of Recent Canadian Painting and Sculpture includes, in addition to Martin’s painting, work by these artists: David Bolduc, Robin Collycr, Graham Coughtry, Robert Hendrick, Robin What makes Ron Martin so amazing is that he is definitely not an abstract expressionist, in the traditional sense, because the overall effect is one of an undifferentiated intact surface area rather than discrete runs and placements of energy. When he began the Conclusion and Transfer paintings, Ron Martin started his career in earnest. These were hard-edge color abstractions which he duplicated. All that was required was that the copy be a faithful representation of his original painting. In his own words: ‘Conclusion: Non-objective painting. Being thing that stands on its own. Appearance Transfer: of being thing that stands on its own as copy. The discipline he was involved with was that art is art by virtue of its context. Marcel Duchamp made this apparent when he placed found objects (ready-mades) in museum situations. Similarly, the act of painting has an art significance only when the painting is art and not fire hydrants or houses. ” Decision But this process is arbitrary in that a decision has to be made as to what constitutes art before the painting process can be accepted as art painting. Ron Martin emphasized this by making an abstract painting which defined the terms of the rendition as art and the process, therefore, of the copy, followed as art painting. In other words the Conclusion and Transfer paintings were artificial knowledge. This led to the world paintings which explored the inner dynamics of being and appearance. He noticed that when he put a thick color mark on paper or canvas and moved around it, the appearance of mass and shape changed. The mind created a causation upon which the body acts. So, too, did relationships change as the body responded to a given alignment of marks. Around 1969-70, he was experimenting with a series of watercolors which dealt with parallel brush strokes. He placed a set of diverging lines across the parallels and saw that you could experience them under a directional perspective like receding railroad tracks, or by moving* around, the diverging line began to weave in and out of the parallel lines. ' Mackenzie, Roytlen Rabinowitch, Gordon Rayner, Daniel Solomon, Joy Walker and Tim Whiten. My concentration will be exclusively on this painter because I feel his presence, as exhibited by the painting Bocour Red, is an event of special significance. It affords an unusual opportunity for the people of Buffalo to become acquainted with a man whose art presents the most assured attack against the major problems facing color field abstraction today. In sum, the broad fields of subtly variegated color abstraction are criticized because they appear empty of personality and do not have much visual strength. Ron Martin is quite the opposite. He was selected by the arrangers of the show, Jeffrey Wechsler and Sharon TUI, because his painting is literally scratching through (a tight rendition of surface interest). We are, finally, stunned by the energy with which the underlying raw canvas leaps out as if the scoured markings and knuckle trails welting the red surface are electrified wire ends piercing accreted blood. Division These observations, changes in shape and perspective, lent themselves to the complex variability yet simple structure of (for want of a better analogy), the meticulously quilted World painting?. Martin categorized these paintings into stages of progression: the flowering stage, the transitional stage and the rotting stage. The only intuitive part of the painting construction came about before the application of paint, when he pencilled-in numbers on the boxes which were preassigned as to color choice and position. What occurs is a very complex interweaving in the case of the “flowering” paintings and an apparently random and confusing over-all effect in those which are “rotting.” Dualism Because of the disparate perspective of the individual boxes, an undulating volume is created that is both flat and round on the picture plane. These World paintings concern mind over body because the body orients itself, in various ways of discovery, to an unassailable mental system. Martin felt that this relationship is not lasting, for the intellect should only reflect on the body. This eventually brought him to the one-color paintings. The one-color paintings are a confirmation of the body. Whereas the World paintings were constructed synthetically eliciting a bodily response, Bocour Red (on loan from Toronto’s Carmen Lamanna Gallery) is a given quantity of paint substance that the body explores on canvas as a process of experience. Mental articulation, in Bocour Red — October 1971 this case, is subsequent to body manifestation. Ron Martin views color as place and, in fact,_ claims no special disposition as to choice of color. There is, however, an uneasy resolve to this color neutrality because as each color changes in the series a se* of denoted color expressions emerge. We can also see certain advantages being gained by using colors which underscore the marking on the canvas with strong after-image effects as is the case in Bocour where the exposed canvas assumes a Rowing green tinge against the red and creates streaking mental flashes. Distillation His distillation of the painting experience has been extracted still further by his most recent work, his Bright Red series. The entire series of these paintings is designed with a rigid operational procedure. Each painting is the same color, and like the one-color series, the same amount of materials are being used although the coloring pigment, bocour red, has been halved. The size of the painting is still in constant relationship to the extension of his right arm (84” x 72”) and each one had a 15-minute time limit for painting completion. The result of this process has yielded 24 Bright Red paintings which are an exact record of what took place at the time of creation. They are a summation of everything Martin has agonized with: the synthesis of the real (color used as physical substance) and ideal, the extended presence of the body in the world, change as illustrated by the varying calligraphy of marks, continuity in the way portions of unpainted canvas puff out unremittingly in a sky scene of gradual occurence and finally the unified character of the coloration in the painting?. Each painting is unique, reflected upon with slight emendations and undertoned with the coursing blood flow of life. World No. 38 Monday, - 1970 17 September 1973 The .

The next day I put a scratchy recording of one of his sinfonia on my victrola; he smiled and looked up just as I put my HOner blues harmonica to my mouth and amde a useless, out of tune, out of key, and out of rhythm attempt to play music. He quivered and 1 played louder, moving closer to him as he strained to concentrate on the music in the background. As I hit the most dissonant chord on the harmonica, Bach could endure no longer, he passed the record started to skip - away. * > - ' • ■ That was a long time ago. I’ve bummed around since then, was a bartender in Iowa, a barber in Idaho, a baby-sitter in Ithaca. I went to college on the G.I. bill and in the Midwest, where my old harmonica came in handy on those unbearable winter nights, with a couple of guitars and a six-pack for entertainment. In my senior year I married the woman I fucked. The next year the suddenly fell deathly ill, and due to a secret life insurance policy she kept, I became independently wealthy. Now older and lonely, I wanted to leave something behind, a ffiy basement I set up a reminder that I wMyheauihn np sbund sfudio, bought a whole seV oT harmonicas (I later bought the whole coihpany) and recorded an over-dubbed and well-rehearsed album of Bach’s works all on my hot honer. ’ There is a major problem though: who’ll buy the record? Classical music lovers pooh, pooh at harmonicas and what with all the synthesized Bach goung around today no listener of folk, rock, jazz, Frank Sinatra, or Stockhausen will want to buy it. I tried to sell it to a cereal company as a prize they could use in between the cardboard and oats; they never wrote back. I tried to slip it into a discount rack in a record store. They thought I was trying to cheat them out of an expensive sale and had me arrested. I’d call up listener response radio shows and try to sneak a few seconds off the album on before they cut me off. They always cut me off. I console myself with the thought that this is the fate of all unique artists in an age of mass conformity. I will remain, as my now-beloved Bach once did, a recluse with my dreams of fame, childhood, and that girt in my junior high school music class. - Gals Full or & As told to: Jeff Benson Guys Survey shows baseball fans behind Aaron by Louis Harris 1973 The Chicago THbune A substantial 68 per cent of all baseball fans say they are “rooting for Hank Aaron of the Atlanta Braves to break Babe Ruth’s record of 714 lifetime home runs.” Only a small, die-hard 9 per cent “hope he’ll fall short,” while another 18 per cent “don’t care either way.” In a special Harris Sports Survey of 1768 baseball fans across the country, the overwhelming sentiment of the public is behind Aaron. There is little evidence of nostalgic resentment over Babe Ruth’s long standing memory as the “king of swat” being violated by the Atlanta Braves’ oytfielder and even less that white fans are averse to a black athlete breaking the home-run record. The fans’ opinions on Aaron are sharp and decisive: By a massive 87-5 per cent, most agree that “Hank Aaron has been a great player for years, and it will be good to see him get his due recognition when he breaks the lifetime home run record” Modest and not flamboyant, Aaron has earned a reputation among fans as “a gentleman” and “a credit to the game,” as many put it. By 92-3 per cent, baseball fans also feel that “nearly all records are there to be broken sooner or later and the lifetime home-run record is no exception.” Much as the 4-minute mile before it, the mark of 714 lifetime homers, most fans feel, was bound to be broken. Fans think Aaron has been favored in his attempt by “longer seasons and a livelier ball to hit,” a 60-17 per cent margin. The Atlanta a view held outfielder has gone to bat over 2000 times more than Ruth in compiling his home-run record. By the same token, by a narrow 39 to 35 per cent fans express disbelief in the claim that “Aaron’s feat is greater than Ruth’s because pitchers have much more advantage over hitters today.” - — - with the statement that they have been “shocked to hear people are rooting against Aaron because he is black.” Hank Aaron reportedly has received a quantity of hate letters expressing resentment that a Mack might break Ruth’s record. These survey resuhs clearly show the writers of such letters are a small minority of all baseball fans, and are in no way representative of anything approaching majority attitudes. The prevailing mood among baseball fans over Aaron’s impending record-breaking feat is both charitable and philosophic, spiced with real excitement that has helped baseball: By 68-24 per cent, a majority of fans reject the claim that “Babe Ruth was such a great player, I hate to see anything make him look not as great as he was.” Fans simply do not see it as a choice, testing their allegiance between today’s Hank Aaron and yesterday’s Babe Ruth. The heart of fans’ thinking is expressed in the lopsided 90-5 per cent majority who feel “it is foolish to choose between Babe Ruth and Hank Aaron, because both have been great baseball players.” Partly as a result of heightened interest in Aaron’s breaking the record, plus the appeal of the American league’s designated hitter innovation, and the tightness of the races in both leagues, there has been a turnaround in the longstanding drift away from fan interest in baseball. All 2034 sports fans surveyed were asked: “Compared to a couple of years ago, do you find you are more interested in big league baseball, less interested, or about as interested as you were then?” - - Interest in Baseball - On the race issue, the fans leave no doubt where they stand: —: By. a thumping 76rl3 per cent, baseball followers flatly deny the allegation that “when Aaron breaks thp record, the day of the white superstar in baseball will be just about over.” By 63 to 26 per cent, a solid majority agrees - 1973 28% 23% 44% 5% More interested Less interested About as interested Not sure 1972 7% 29% 61% 3% Obviously, judging from these results, baseball is on the upbeat. All baseball needs to top this off is for Aaron to break the record, a feat he has millions of baseball fans oting for him to do.

A match scheduled for Friday with St. John Fisher was cancelled. In the system used Wednesday, each individual match is played for 3 points. The winner for 18 holes is awarded one point, and points are also awarded for winning the front and back nine holes. Jim Gallery’s 72, which topped the Bulls, gained the maximum 3 points for Buffalo. Jim Batt and John Scholl also scored 3-ffoint Wednesday victories. Bull coach Bill Dando was “satisfied” but also stated that the Bulls “should have played better. The kids played good golf, but not good enough to win us any tournaments,” Dando added. The 9-hole, par-36 course in Olean, a short 2600 yards, may also have hindered the'Bulls. “A longer course works to our advantage,” stated Dando. “Some of our longer drivers may hold up “If you want to talk about merely knowing social security relationships, personal things, or and student identificatibn even pets, walk into the center numbers. “We don’t hassle people anytime from 9 to 5 and make an here,” he said. “There are no apoointment," bekoned Chuck forms if the students don’t want Klepak, counselor at the Student to fill them out and everything is kept confidential.

St. Bonaventure coach Leo Keenen selected the method of scoring for the match. The scoring system for golf is complicated because the home coach has the option of selecting either of two different systems. Keenen selected individual match play, while Dando would have preferred total point scores. Using total point scores, the total number of shots taken by all the members of the team are added. “I like to get dur players used to total points because that is how the tournaments are played,” Dando remarked. “Also, match play leads to ‘newspaper’ scores where a player will pick up his ball if he has lost the hole rather than putt out,” Dando added. In other words, a player who has already lost the hole does not finish it. This afternoon, the Bulls take on Gannon and Fredonia at the latter’s course.

William Monkarsh, director of the intramural program, was very year’s enthusiastic: “This intramurals will be as extensive as last year’s," said Monkarsh, “and last year’s was the largest in its history.” Monkarsh said one of the major problems of the intramural program is that not enough students know about it. “I think it would benefit the student body to participate in our intramurals,” reflected Monkarsh. ‘They have paid for it (through the student activity fee) and they should make use of it.” The intramural program not only encompasses team sports such as football, soccer and basketball, but also includes all the recreation facilities at Clark Gym. The facilities include tennis, handball and squash courts, universal gyms, an outdoor track. an indoor pool and indoor basketball courts. The intramural program has also rented the Holiday Twin Rinks fqr ice skating and ice hockey. These are located at 3465 Broadway, Cheektowaga and are used by both the NHL Buffalo Sabres and the UB hotkey Bulls. Students living at the new Amherst Campus will not be left out of intramural participation. Monkarsh is arranging the use of Sweet Home High School Athletic facilities. “We are trying to give them (the students) an input into our plans, and let them help in organizing our activities,” said Coach Monkarsh. The first activities begin this week, with students signing up for touch football. Entries may be made either individually, by floors or by teams. The games will be played at the five touch football fields on the Main Campus. Last year’s touch football teams included more than 500 students. year’s participation This is expected to be even greater.

An immediate crisis was narrowly averted when'Outgoing Graduate Student Association president Alan Miller informed Sub-Board that the GSA allocation of $45,000 had actually been approved last spring. In a letter to all organizations funded by Sub-Board, Executive director Steve Blumenkrantz stated late yesterday afternoon that “various student governments have at the present not seen fit to allocate funds” to Sub-Board, “with the exception of Millard Fillmore College Student Association. Therefore, we as a corporation, can not incur any further debt without any source of funds to operate under.” Business Manager Lester Goldstein explained this would mean the immediate curtailment of The Spectrum and elimination of Ethos until allocations were forthcoming from either the Student Association or the Graduate Student Association. He also stated that UUAB would have to eliminate most activities and that Sub-Board employees would be terminated within a week. The Spectrum Vol.24.No.il State Unjvrttty of Now Yorfc at Buffalo Mr. Goldstein stated that both student associations had failed to inform Sub-Board of an approved allocation and as Sub-Board was now $14,000 in debt, all monies had to be reserved to meet contractual and payroll commitments. However, a hurried phone call by The Spectrum Editor Howie Kurtz and Campus Editor Ian DeWaal to Mr. Miller revealed that the GSA had actually approved an allocation of $45,000 last spring, giving Sub-Board enough money to operate until November and averting an immediate crisis. Mr. Goldstein, upon being informed of the GSA allocation, immediately rescinded the Blumenkrantz memo. _ Enjoy today’s The Spectrum and this weekend’s UUAB If it wasn’t for a simple telephone call, we wouldn’t have made it. Editor’s note: A complete story on the funding difficulties between student governments and Sub-Board will appear in Monday’s The Spectrum. Washington columnist shows outrage over governmental crime Frkhy. 14 Saptwnbw 1973 by Clem Colucci Feature Editor “I believe the country’s strong enough declared truth,” told the muckracking columnist jack Anderson, and he proceeded to tell it to a capacity crowd in Clark Hall Wednesday evening. to be The Pulitzer prize-winning investigative reproter said America has gotten away from the ideal that: “Those who govern are the servants of the people and not their masters.” After relating stories about Thomas Jefferson and Abraham Lincoln, Mr. Anderson described the elaborate trappings of Presidential power and its effects on the men in the White House. “After four years of this,” said Mr. Anderson, “the . doesn’t feel like a servant, he President feels like a master, he feels he is above the Richard Nixon has reversed the Founding Fathers’ conception of protecting people from the government and turned instead to protect government from the people. Mr. “wise quoted Thomas Anderson Jefferson”; “We can have no confidence in the man. We must bind him down in chains the chains of the Constitution.” Through a free press, said Mr. Anderson, the Constitution provided a watchdog to guard the people from the government; admittedly a poor watchdog, but the best around. He again quoted Thomas Jefferson who, though victim of unfair and scurrilous abuse from a partisan press, said; “If 1 had without to choose between newspapers and newspapers without government I would not hestitate to - choose the latter.” .. law”, v,. . . Eith all the evangelical fervor of . the Mormon missionary he once was, Mr. Anderson illustrated this lawless mentality by painting in broad strokes and lurid colors a protrait of Watergate conspirator G. Gordon Liddy. “What was a man like that doing in the White House with a license to violate the law?” Mr. Anderson asked again and again. As each detail was added to this picture of governmental anarchy, Mr. Anderson repeated the question, more outraged each time. Some heroes left Mr. Anderson unbuttoned his collar, having already taken off his coat and rolled up his sleeves, and said most of the press does not do its job. The White House press corps missed the Watergate story. Capitol Hill reproters act like Congressmen, State Department reporters take to tweed jackets and pipes. But, he added, there are a few watchdogs left. Each name in Mr. Anderson’s litany of heroes drew applause and cheers from the applause corwd. “John Sirica” “an obscure Federal Court judge. one of 15 just in the Washington area he has stood up to the most powerful man in the land. He has stood up tp the President and he — - — — Anderson questions government secrets Editor's Note: The following are the highlights ofremarks made by at Mr. a press A nderson conference prior to his Clark Hall speech Wednesday evening. “The government is classifying, and withholding censoring information the American people should have,” declared Jack Anderson when questioned about supression government of information under the rationale of national security. “Because the government doesn’t give us a true definition of national security, we must define it ourselves. There is a overdassification of massive information because the politicians in power are afraid to tell people what’s going on.” He added dryly: “A guy named Hitler gassed five million in the name of national security, too. We can’t have that kind of philosophy here.” Those familiar with secret documents, Mr. government Anderson said, have indicated that “seventy to ninety percent of wh»t's in these secret documents should be told to the people.” Because of massive secrecy overdassification, “we must make our own judgements. Sometimes we don’t report something we find out about; but most of the time we should report it. We make mistakes but our mistakes are nothing compared to the massive scale of government’s the violations.” Describing those who don’t want to hear- the bad news, Mr. Anderson explained; HThere are ostriches in this country with their heads in the sand. If you’ve got cancer, it may be extremely distressing and disturbing, but you’re better off knowing about it. There are people disturbed and distressed that our body politic has cancer they’d rather keep their heads in the sand. I think — - on pages— Movies, murders and Batman This man in the White House, said Mr. Anderson, saw a Nazi propoganda film of Adolph Hitler “in a state of exultation” and spoke German afterward. This man in the White House misunderstood some instructions from JeH Magruder and thought he’d been ordered to kill Jack Anderson. This man in the White House was disappointed when he learned otherwise. And what was a man who would “rise up like Batman” from a garage roof and leap on noisy children, a man who would slap them around and a man who would receive their angry parents with a brace of pistols, doing in the White House? .Roaring with indignation, Mr. Anderson asked how a man working for the White House-«*w)d go to the Justice Department and talk to the nation's chief law enforcement officer about plotting crimes like the Watergate break-in. “They plotted a crime,” Mr. Anderson -shouted, rising from his stool like — Batman. “Now, you’re beginning to see what Watergate is. It’s not a third-rate burglary. It's a trespass on our liberty. It’s a trampling on our rights. It’s an abuse of the Constitution,” he said. But Mr. Anderson was bothered most by people who didn’t want to hear any more about Watergate and by those who have despaired for the system. The system works Mr. Anderson said Watergate is proof that the system works. ‘The Founding Fathers understood that government by its nature tends to oppress the people,” he said. “They didin’t know Richard Nixon’s name but they knew he was coming.” His< arms flailing, his hands chopping at the air and his stubby index finger stabbing for emphasis, Mr. Anderson asserted that has the President trembling.” “Uncle Sam Ervin” a loud, long ovation “he is sick at heart” over the gross violations of the — — Constitution and the law. Mr. Anderson told of a friend of his who lived in a foreign democracy. This friend said his countrymen could no longer the respect United States after the exposure of the Watergate scandal. Mr. Anderson asked if such scandals had ever occured in his friend’s country. They had. Had the press exposed them? No, they had not. Had their Congress? They wouldn’t dare. The courts? Don’t be absurd. “1 like my system better than yours,” said Mr. Anderson. “I think 1 like your system better than mine, too,” his friend admitted. Nobody from nowhere Mr. Anderson held out more hope that might be corruption in government stopped. “I’m nobody from nowhere,” he and said, “and I’ve shaken the system you’re not going to convince me that it can’t be done here.” But he warned the audience: “Keep on your guard, keep on .. . toes.” In illustration he told how Phillipine President Ferdinand Marcos fought against the Japanese as a guerilla leader for years, campaigned, spoke and fought for freedom. He soon rose to be President and, when he had served the Constitutionally-mandated limit to his term he declared a state of emergency and assumed dictatorial powers. The first thing he did upon taking over was to shut down the opposition press. “You see, my friends,” Mr. Anderson concluded, “you can’t trust them.” r' your �Crowded conditions relocate Financial Aid office to Tower . ; The Financial Aid office is moving to Tower Hall.

The Health Science Library will occupy both the basement and first floor of Tower. According to Joseph Stillwell, Director of Financial Aid, the move is coming at an opportune time. Over 8500 financial aid applications were processed for this year and with the creation of the Basic Opportunity Grant program and the new tuition waiver policies, this number is expected to increase. To expedite the relocation, the Financial Aid office will be closed Friday, September 21 and Monday, September 24. Because of the short duration of this shutdown and the more efficient operations that are expected to result, Mr. Stillwell feels there will be no delay in the processing of this year’s financial aid forms.

They from high-paid and high-powered the best we can do is lobbyists write about it and make people aware of these facts.” He favored citizens’ lobbies such as Common Cause, but said he most preferred “everyday letters from everyday people. If the public would merely let their Congressman know how they feel on this and that issue if they would simply keep informed do their duty write a letter once a week their Congressman would listen. This would be the most effective and forceful' lobby $ can imagine.” “The press is not monolithic,” he said when asked who will be a watchdog for the media. “It speaks with thousands of tongues. I appear in 950 papers ranging to from ultra-liberal ultra-conservative and I’m rarely suppressed. I’m unable to make a mistake ahd get away with it. 1 can’t classify my mistakes like the does.

But let’s not get too bogged down in all that when it’s the spirit of the music that really counts.

A case in point is the near disaster that has sabatoged the efforts of the History Department to overhaul an antiquated registration 881-2844 __rf*884-6636 ¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥ for improvement of the undergraduate curriculum. In fact, the History Department came up with an additional $1000 to support the course. “That’s a lot of money to spend on such a limited It is now clear that the SARA computer W system is enrollment,” Dr. Allen said. freshman introductory course. History 100, a study of World War II, was supposed to have had a flexible scheduling format which combined traditional lectures with movies and optional seminar discussions of the course materials. SARA was stymied because the movies were to have been of varying lengths and the seminar was not required. The result was the creation of a “suicidal” course in which a student would have had to apparently spend seven hours a week in class. • Actually, a student should have registered for one lecture and one movie showing a week. However, the schedule printed in the Reporter failed New approach “The normal introduction course in history is ‘Western Civilization’ which is not in a student’s immediate experience,” said Dr. Allen. “World War II shaped the world they [students] live in. By understanding the changes that occured and why they occured, students might better understand our present situation,” concluded Dr. Allen. Dr. Allen emphasized three teaching techniques that have been employed to vitalize the course: “First, we will be using 20th century insights such as psychology and sociology to study the subject. Secondly, we will be using modern media through the use of the films,” Dr. Allen stated. “Lastly, we will be flexible in scheduling of assignments.” The requirements of the course are indicative of its new approach. Students will be able to chose between a term paper on a relevant subject that interests them or a project that will be guided by the graduate assistants in the course. Projects could include photography, poems or art work. For those whose first attempt to register for the course was defeated by the confusion in the to distinguish between the required sections of the class and the optional portions. Consequently, some students registered solely for the movies and found that their class cards listed no credit for the course, while others registered for the full seven hours of class time indicated in the Reporter. Disappointing enrollment William Allen, the course instructor, had predicted last spring that “300 people would enroll in the course.” He now feels that under the circumstances, it was “a miracle” that 65 people signed up. “Those people must have been willing to Reporter, all is not lost. Students have only to register for the lecture and a movie session (movies will be shown twice on for convenience).

Ironically, this course was to have been a national 'model for courses designed to stem decreasing enrollments in history courses across the nation.

It is a time when information is routinely suppressed under a blanket of National security, too often a euphemism lor political security. While there are legitimate instances which require secrecy, such as defense strategies or nuclear secrets, the bulk of classified information is politically embarassing material which the ruling politicians would rather keep from the public. One prominent example is the Pentagon Papers, which contained nothing injurious to national security, but revealed enough deception to embarass three successive administrations. Another is the 1970 domestic intelligence plan for bugging and burglarizing antiwar dissidents. Had the proposal, supposedly justified by radical violence around the country, been submitted to Congress for emergency police measures, it certainly would not have emerged intact. It was therefore politically expedient to keep the plan secret what they don’t know won’t hurt them. The most tragic instance is the secret bombing of Cambodia. Despite the fact that American tax dollars were being illegally used to fuel a clandestine war on a neutral country, the President insisted that everyone was told with "a legitimate need to know." Did not the Senate Foreign Relations Committee have such a need? Did not the entire Congress, which the Constitution assigns the responsibility of declaring war? And what about the American people? We have dangerously drifted away from the principle that a democracy is based on an informed populace capable of making intelligent decisions by majority rule. The Constitution which conceived this democracy, however, was besed on an agricultural America of small towns and face-to-face town meetings. But although modern technology has rendered that model obsolete, it also provides us with the tool with which to achieve a well-informed democracy. That tool is the mass media. Today the media has become" in effect, the fourth branch of government. Without the media the government cannot effectively publicize either its policies or its laws. The media can create news by providing coverage; it can ignore an event by determining it is not news. It both reflects public opinion and influences it. It can publish public opinion polls, investigate government errors, televise Senate hearings. It can provoke, enlighten, criticize, interpret. Most importantly, it can refuse to accept press releases and the mouthings of public officials and dig for the real story. It can often bridge that widening gap between government secrecy and the public's legitimate need to know. The list of media exposes is an impressive one: ITT, the milk price scandal, the Russian wheat deal, Watergate, the Pentagon Papers, Cambodia, San Clemente, and so on. When the Pentagon was telling us no Vietnamese villages were being bombed, correspondents were counting the civilian casualties. All of this is not to portray the media as lily-white; it is as riddled with mistakes and misjudgements as any other institution. What is of overwhelming importance is that in today's super-bureaucracy, with the government (and particularly the executive branch) wielding powers over individual citizens that would have made the Founding Fathers shudder, the media has emerged as a vital check and an important balance against the abuse of the State. Its power is the power of public opinion, whether in the form of editorials or Letters to the Editor. Its responsibility is to make the government accountable to the public. Whatever criticisms it may earn on the way, this is no easy task. And yet the media's potential remains grossly underused. That the President can avoid holding a press conference at his whim for five months is a mockery of democracy: he should be required to hold them every one or two weeks. Candidates for public office should be required to engage in an hour of televised debate on important issues every week for six weeks before the election, instead of manipulating the media through image-building commercials. Only in-depth news coverage and documentaries on pressing issues can achieve an informed society; tomorrow's technology may permit voting and referendums without leaving one's living room. The strength of democracy is a free flow of information to the people. We can be content with soap operas and remain fair game for government tying; or we can more fully utilize the media to make out leaders accountable to us. It is the choice between 60-second commercials and intelligent debate. It is the choice between naivete and the need to know what our government is really doing. It is the choice between deception and truth. Guest Opinion by Alan Miller On Saturday, September 8, an orientation program was held for new faculty and professional staff. One part of this program was a luncheon in the Tiffin Room, which included welcoming speeches by President Ketter and the Presidents of the Undergraduate and Graduate Student Associations. I was dismayed to find that a good deal of the welcoming speeches of President Ketter and SA President Jon Dandes were spent telling anecdotes about each other and showing everyone what good buddies they were. 1 was beginning to wonder whether Mr. Dandes’ speech would ever take on any semblance of seriousness, wlien he totally shifted gears and announced that there were no differences between the students and administration at this University and that the only split existed between the students and the faculty. Mr. Dandes then began to attack the faculty on points such as late grade submission. True, there are faculty members who are sloppy in handling bureaucratic details, at the expense of the students, and more important, faculty members who neglect their teaching'and contact hour responsibility. However, is it a proper way to greet and create harmony with new faculty members by drawing battle lines? One must remember that in 1970, the only friends and allies the students had at this University and in the community were the faculty. Has everyone forgotten the Hayes Hall 45? One should also question a student leader claiming total accord with the administration when the colleges are dying, SASU allocations are iq question, and important a/' J |r> appointments are b4ing made without student input. True, we nottf have excellent relatione With the a<!lmintetrati0h,J}u>’ we do not always see eye to eye. No, on the eve of the first meeting of the University Assembly, it is imperative that the students and faculty work together. The faculty Can be of great help to students, in protecting our rights and helping to keep this University moving forward. The GSA has shown that students can be a great help to faculty in matters of tentire and reappointment. For the University Assembly to be effective, one must have a united Student-Faculty front. If the students and faculty split, the administration will be free to swing whichever way they want. It’s fine for a student leader and University President to get along, but not at the expense of student-faculty harmony. They say politics makes strange bedfellows.

Even the local greasers get equal time, as they (with Curt’s help) brilliantly endeavor to commit atrocities upon a police car. Written by George Lucas, Gloria Katz and Willard Huyck, the dialogue captures the mood beautifully. Expressions like “goofy,” “little dip,” and “copping a feel” abound. Director George Lucas kept his actors relaxed and natural; the characterizations are almost believable. The acting is adequate, with the exception of MacKenzie Phillips. She is great. Although the movie is very obviously a Hollywood fantasy, designed to capitalize on the latest whim of the public, American Graffiti is a delightful flick.

A bizarre, highly suggestive, and effectively horrible scene of symbolic sexual abuse is thrown at the audience with raucous sounds and frantically-moving people. When Pippin tries to find a career as a warrior, we see a scene that underscores the sorrow, stupidity, and ghastly gutsiness of battle. Black humor emerges as Pippin talks calmly with the severed head of an enemy soldier. Incidently, in the course of this scene the classical “decapitation magic trick" is used to create the illusion of a disembodied head.

Pink Flamingos is Frank Waters’ sewer classic. A devastated look into the lives of under-America, a searing treatise on filthhood, a pretty good movie, which makes it totally contrary fo its own intent. If you’re gonna do a movie about filth then it’s got to be a filthy movie, right! This one’s too slick. Essentially it’s about Miss Divine (a three-hundred pound transvestite), her mother (who’s penned up in a baby crib and has an insatiable appetite for eggs) and Cotton, Miss Divine’s traveling companion. Oh yeah, there’s also Krackers who’s a chicken fucker. (In the advance promotional material it said that the actor playing Krackers wouldn’t fuck the chickens unless he could eat them afterward, otherwise it would just be sensational waste.) These four losers inhabit an old unwheeled trailer. They’re hiding from the law. Miss Divine is a murderess. Well, it’s all about the Divines (the counterpart to the Louds?) and their battle with Mr. and Mrs. Marvel. Both claim they are the filthiest peoplcalive, so naturally they have a filthy contest. Mr. Marvel runs around whipping his bazooka out (for the pudenvy syndrome he attaches a long sausage to his hard) especially if it’s around young yecch!!!

The Spectrum Friday, . 14 September 1973 I �Theater Department reveals program for upcoming season by Randi Schnur Spectrum Arts Critic A group of students, professors and other theater lovers gathered in Harriman Library’s Theatre Studio last -Friday for a sneak preview of the Theater Department’s upcoming season. Although the meeting gave chairman Gordon Rogoff an opportunity to introduce new faculty members and department policies, “the play’s the thing,” and the semester’s schedule of productions was first on the agenda. The season will begin next month with Buchner’s Woyzeck, directed by Marty Tackel, and a new production of Genet’s play The Maids. Staged by Liz Axelrod, a graduate student in the humanities, the work will be acted in alternate performances by an all-female and all-male cast. Slated to open early in November is a double bill directed by Ward Williamson, which will include Samuel Beckett’s Play and a work by Harold Pinter. Ed Bullins’ Gain’ a Buffalo, directed by Ed Smith, will be presented at the end of the month. New to the Department of Theater, Mr. Smith is an adjunct professor with the Black Studies Department and has headed its Black Drama Workshop. Seconds on ‘Bread’ Blackearth shows classical is not old achieving greater flexibility for the whole department and developing a more creative work relationship between students and more experienced department members, director Rogoffs cast will include faculty as well as student actors. Pliable process Other new developments will demonstrate even more flexibility. An effort is being made to bring a better sense of community into the Theater Department by using more of its members for each presentation. Therefore, academic credit will be given for work in more than just the performance phase of production. This will also help to offset the shortage of people with the technical skills needed to staff productions. Gordon Rogoffs Center for Theatre Research scored a hit last April with its production of Given: 'Wo Bread An Encounter and Dinner for Fifteen , James Waring will present a program of modem which was presented downtown at the Courtyard Theatre.

With the aid of a few thousand pounds of microorganisms, we’re helping to solve the water pollution problem in Rochester. Maybe the solution can help others. What we did was to combine two processes in a way that gives us one of the most efficient water-purifying systems private industry has ever developed. One process is called “activated sludge,” developed ~ by man to accelerate nature’s microorganisih adsorption. What this means is that for the majority of wastes man can produce, there is an organism waiting somewhere that will happily assimilate it. And thrive on it. The breakthrough came when Kodak scientists found a way to combine the activated sludge process with a trickling filter process and optimized the combination. We tested our system in a pilot plant for five years. Kodak I* ■rzt (At Kodak, we were working on environmental improvement long before it made headlines.) And the pilot project worked so well, we built a ten-million-dollar plant that can purify 36-million gallons of water a day. Governor Rockefeller called this “the biggest volunin support of tary project undertaken by private New York State’s pure-water program.” Why did we do it? Partly because we’reIn business to make a profit—and clean water is vital to our business. But in furthering our own needs, we have helped further society’s. And our business depends on society. We hope our efforts to cope with water pollution will inspire others to do the same. And, we’d be happy to share our water-purifying information with them. We all need clean water. So we all have to work together. More than a business. ' 7 v Page ten The Spectrum Friday, . . *\ .( 14 September 1973 �Too loud To the Editor 0 Barbara Schulz Barry Schweitzer E. Tyemn Daniel F.

Usually, a woman can be seen at our facility within four days of making her appointment. Some npw programs we have instituted at the clinic include menstrual extractions and pregnancy testing.

What is frightening about Watergate is not the actual break-in, but the efforts of the highest branches of government to cover it up. That a President of the United States could declare, over television, that political nationwide espionage and slander did not begin with Watergate only reaffirms the belief that Mr. Nixon must have been aware of the Watergate plank. To blandly state that “everyone does it” and then assert that his campaign was never guilty of such wrongdoings is to assume that the American people are a bunch of fools (which might be true anyway). IIJ (|| VV has Mj y* mV ( ] * - Ugly . il rT The Nixon campaign of 1972, like his Pf* campaigns of 1948, 1950, 1952 and 1962, Li was one based on slander, illegal acts and flagrant disregard for normal election procedure. We forget all too soon that our , President was nicknamed ‘Tricky Dick” and was linked to shady campaign, practices. Yet while we might suspect that Mr. Nixon might not be alone in shady L / campaign practices, it is his interpretation of the rjle of the Presidency and his T arrogance in defiance of the law which underscores governmental lawlessness. Mr. Nixon, how did you pay for your homes? As of now we are on our third story of how you purchased them. By the way, how much did we pay for improvements for your homes? As of now we are up to $ 10 million. By the way, Mr. . Nixon, why haven’t you paid taxes on the profits on the sale of your real estate? Mr. Nixon, why are you being sued by a California group for back taxes on your t ) property? Mr. Nixon, you don’t want to expose the confidentiality of Presidential conferences, yet you taped world leaders III! and other people while under the guise of privacy in your office. You won’t let a W federal judge hear the tapes to determine / what is relevant, yet you will let some W government .officials and private citizens listen to them. You invoke a new version I of Catch 22 by stating that you cannot be prosecuted until you are impeached, yet you refuse to let go of evidence that could rT lead to such proceedings.

Amy Ounkin Larry Kraftowitz Marc Jacobson Joel Altsman . .... . . Betty Haas I Underneath the furor and hyperbole which permeates Watergate remains the (indisputable assertion that the lawmakers and public officials arc probably the most flagrant violators of the laws. While every election year the cry of “law and order” is heard, it’s the same people who cry the loudest that are in the forefront of a campaign against our civil liberties. I’m fairly sure that Sheriff Amico of Erie County will arrest an abnormally large collection of drug users in the following months and at the*same time discover a trillion-dollar dope ring operating out of the third stall of the men’s John on the first floor of Norton Hall. After the election they will be released on grounds of insufficient evidence or violation of the defendants’ civil rights, a la the famous Allenhurst bust of a few years back. The American people don’t really give a damm about the average crooks who hold office; if they tried to remove every crook in government, there would be precious few politicians left to run the country. We can handle allegations like the ones facing Vice President Agnew because greed and financial corruption are everyday facts of life. We know that nothing will happen to them; can anyone really remember the last time a rich or politically powerful man went to jail? I said went to jail not just convicted and given a 10-year sentence to be served in the confines of the politician’s home. What we have in this country is two sets of laws: one for the rich and powerful, and one for the rest of us slobs. No wonder that younger people, seeing the hypocrisy of our drug laws and other manifestations of government lawlessness, have no admiration and certainly no respect for the laws of this country. The greatest threat has not come from the traditional sources of lawbreaking, such as financial corruption, but from the trend of the executive branch to regard the other two branches as subordinate, and an almost fanatical zeal in destroying our basic civil liberties. Where is it stated in our Constitution that a President can cpmduct a war without the consent of Congress? Where is it stated in our Constitution that the President has the right to authorize burglaries in the homes and offices of private citizens? Where is it stated that the Department of Defense can lie to its own citizens in the name of National Security? Since everyone but the American people knew about the bombings, especially the Laotians, Cambodians and Vietnamese, it would seem absurd to use the label National Security.

Rubinstein, in his own wide-eyed way, is sufficiently captivating. Quippin’ Jokes are made about the lighting, the music, and ofher theater devices. Sadly, these jokes often are embarassing examples of the triteness and cutesiness of the show. In fact, much of the play’s humor falls very flat. Still, the importance of the image and skill with which it points out Pippin’s escape from a pseudo-celestial end almost excuses the problems it entails. Representing the spirit of the stage and illusion is a character known only as “Leading Player.” This personification of illusion, this living, leering shadow is played by the impossibly magnetic Ben Vereen. Vereen is a showman with a clear and explosive sense of the stage and his audience. As a mildly malicious spirit, he commands the scenes he is in and holds the play in place like a beautiful frame around a painting. John Rubinstein, as Pippin, is one of those actors with annoying familiar faces which has been seen in innumerable productions but, in spite of this, is impossible to place. He is able to carry his role with a style of “innocence” and fun. The fact that the entire show is not completely commanded by the impressive good Vereen is a indication that Slippin’ An important flaw in the acting is seen in petty Buckley’s characterization of Catherine, a widow with a small boy. While she is engaged in most of the dialogue, her manner is artificial. This is fine since she does so to highlight the artificiality of the stage. Problem is, when she breaks from this stage environment and reaches the pivotal part of the script where sincerity is important, she does not begin to sound any less artificial. It should be noted that a particularly comic (and sometimes awesome) job is done by veteran actor Eric Berry in his fine portrayal of Charlemange. Pippin is a musical with tunes and lyrics by Stephen Schwartz. His style hasn’t changed much since he did the songs for Godspell. Schwartz has talent for writing moving and haunting melodies, but the lyrics often wax insipid. At best, they are uninspired. If he wpuld collaborate with a good lyricist, there might be something worth remembering. In total, the show is a fun and happy effort. It is marred by some poor jokes and silly lyrics. It is strong in its sense of stage space, theme, music, and romanticism. Xnd magic. Bulls defeat Geneseo in spite of difficult wind by Steve Lustig Staff Writer Spectrum In a match plagued by heavy winds, the State University at Buffalo golf Bulls defeated Geneseo Monday at the Audubon Golf Course. The Bulls were led by Jim Gallery, who shot a two-over-par 72 over the 6400-yard course. Geneseo was paced by Scoft MacEwen, who carded a 76. Gallery, who covered the first nine holes with a sparkling two-under-par 33, had to settle for a 72 when he bogeyed the tenth, 11th and 12th holes. “I putted well for the front nine, but I had trouble on the back nine,” remarked Gallery. Many of the Bulls observed that the high winds had affected their putting as well as their driving. Mike Hegeman and Rick Buszynski were also among the leading Bull golfers. Hegeman shot a consistent 75, while Buszynski was two strokes back at 77. Buszynski, who came to Buffalo as a transfer student from Miami of Ohio, is a welcome addition to this year’s Bulls squad. Coach Bill Dando observed: “I’m satisfied with the way we played. However, I know we can play much better.” Dando noted the team’s depth to be a Bulls strong point. “We’te very strong with our sixth and seventh men. Other teams may be able to match some of our front liners, but depth in the sixth and seventh men is what wins matches.” Geneseo coach Duncan Hinckley, whose team trailed badly for most of the match, is hoping for some improved play from his young, inexperienced team. “We lost six men last year including our top three players,” said Hinckiey. “We had only some three returnees so we’ve got rebuilding to do. We played well, but there is lots of room for improvement.” The Bulls face St. Bonaventure this afternoon in Olean before taking on St. John Fisher in Rochester next Friday. Also, Buffalo State has been added to the Bulls schedule, replacing Gannon on September 19. �build a new team. New York Jets 28, Green Bay 21 The Pack may be back but so it Joe Willie.

Stigmatized and ostracized, the unwed couple is victim of a barrage of legal traps that make living together far from blissful. Although the courts have dealt with the effects of couples living together (such as illegitimate children), the notion of “single couples” has never been acknowledged in our legal system. In over half the states, there are cohabitation laws that prohibit an individual from living with a non-spouse. While this law does not apply in New York, there are others (hat make it illegal for unmarried couplet to engage in any form of oral sex or sodomy. Married persons, on the other hand, are free to let their imaginations run wild. When it comes to renting an apartment, the unmarried couple can be refused for moral reasons. If they lie about being married and the truth is later discovered, they can be evicted. Ordinarily, if a couple is not evicted, their lease is frequently not renewed. Screening process Although there is increasing social acceptance of unwed couples, complex and often snarling legal hassles still remain. For example, insurance companies do not have a uniform policy on unmarried couples. “We’ll underwrite anybody,” said John Peeler of Prudential Life Insurance Company. “Very seldom do we rate unmarried couples.” However, insurance companies employ careful screening processes and will not issue policies until their clients have been recognized as morally acceptable by Retail Credit, an investigating agency that checks up on the habits and reputations of prospective policyholders. As one insurance agent explained: “If the underwriter is a fuddy-duddjvhe probably assumes that people who live in sin may have some sort of emotional problem. At the very least, they’re insecure and immature, and therefore, a bad risk.” Accordingly, one couple, Tim and Sharon, were denied automobile insurance on moral grounds. Neither e%er had an accident or a traffic ticket. Moreover, they were later denied home insurance for the same reason. When they consulted an underwriter on this matter, they were told they could get a policy only if Sharon was listed as Tim’s maid. New breakthrough Businesses as well have insurance benefits that extend only to the employee and his or her married spouse. At the New York Civil Liberties Union, this might change, according to Joan Washington, an employee. NYCLU, she said, -is planning to drop its present insurance policy in favor Of one that provides for an employee and his or her unmarried mate. A major breakthrough, this policy is also being considered by private firms who have received complaints from their unmarried employees. A couple’s decision to live together often leads to a breakdown in family relations. Parents have clearly indicated that they are still uptight about such arrangements. For example, 22% of the parents responding to a questionnaire on -student-related crimes, felt that cohabitation should be punished. Their reaction contrasted sharply with the students, with only 5% responding similarly. It is interesting that parents and students differed the most in their views of cohabitation on a list that also included such crimes as draft card burning, pot smoking and statutory rape. Surprisingly, parents were lenient when determining the punishment for fornication. Only 11% of them felt that it should be punished compared >vith 3% of the students. Menacing lifestyle Cohabitation still represents a threat to traditionally sacred institutions, such as religion and family, according to Robert Cabral, a sociology professor. Although not viewed precisely as a criminal act, living together is considered “very wrong” in the eyes of many parents. Many would prefer to see new types of marriage laws, including three-year marriage licenses, leaving the option of renewal up to the couple. When ksked about her parent’s reaction to her living with someone, Barbara, another NYCLU employee, said they know “but prefer not to think about it.” As for her mate’s parents, die said, “they would die if they found out. They are devout Catholics who have told us they pray every day that we will not opt to live together.” Joan, who lives in New York City’s GreenwiClTVillage, has lived with two different men. “With me, there was no conscience problem. At the time I left home, 1 was so alienated from everyone that other people’s opinions didn’t matter.” in Joan’s neighborhood, couples living together are the norm. “I haven’t felt the social pressure that couples do when they live in uptight middle-class communities.” Barbara, however, hasn’t had trouble adjusting to the middle-class milieu in which she lives. ‘They know we’re different only because we don’t have an Abortion is Murder sticker on our car. Outwardly, we don’t give them any reason to be uncomfortable.” Since the unwed couple has no legal status, there are no sure-fire answers to the countless problems that may crop up during the relationship. Major complications can arise involving child support and custody. Under the present law, the mother alone is responsible for support of the child and the only one to have custody rights. A father must admit paternity during pregnancy or within two years of the child’s birth to become liable for its support. If he refuses, he can be brought to court. To avoid all the legal entanglements, a New England couple decided recently to draw up a contract that would take care of their children, property and inheritance. In addition, their 11-point document also defines the couple’s relationship to each other. While many couples frown upon such convenants (saying that if they wanted a contract, they would have gotten married in the first place), they concede the necessity for them. Proponents did not support standardized contracts, however, emphasizing that they should be designed by the individual couple. Tax laws suprisingly work to the advantage of the unmarried couple unless they have widely disparate incomes. Since they cannot file a joint return (doing so involves charges of civil fraud and up to 50% interest on the unrecorded amount), they will wind up paying more taxes than the married couple. But, as if to even things out, an unmarried couple, each person earning $10,000 without dependents, taking the standard deduction will pay $340 less in taxes than the married couples earning the same amount; if they have a child under IS, they come out ahead by $612. Also, the single taxpayer can take a standard deduction of 15%, up to $2000, while the married couple shares that amount between them. Children bom to the couple are deductible as Is one partner if there is only one wage earner. Finally, inheritance laws tend to discriminate against unmarried couples since there are no provisions permitting them to combine their legacies. Furthermore, only legally-wed couples can inherit half of the other’s estate, tax-free. It should also be remembered that if both couples jointly purchase real estate, there should be proof of this or else the partner who inherits might be taxed for the full amount of the property. The unmarried couple should also be wary of scrounging relatives who might claim their rights to the deceased’s property and possessions. Although very few inroads have been made, the ACLU, along with the Playboy Foundation, have begun to challenge those laws that unfairly discriminate against unwed couples. Meanwhile, couples who feel they are being mistreated should promptly consult a lawyer. - �Law school Faculty raises are near completion building New delayed once again by Gary Cohn Governor Nelson Rockefeller rejected the Fact Finders’ recommendations and sent the dispute to a select, six-member legislative committee. Testifying before the committee at its July 6th meeting, Jerome Sturip, representing SUNY/United, gave “reluctant support” to the Fact Finders’ recommendations. “With all its faults," explained Mr. Sturm, “the report is a peaceful method to end Contributing Editor State University of New York faculty will not get a raise this year. The dispute over salary increases for SUNY faculty and non-teaching professionals will not be settled until at least January, when the New York State Legislature reconvenes. The long-standing dispute is between SUNY/United, the bargaining agent for 14,000 academic and professional employees of SUNY, and the Office of Employee Relations, representing the Executive branch of the state government. - the current dispute.” ‘High level of SUNY salaries’ the Fact Arguing against Finders’ report at Gov. Rockefeller’s request, the Office of Employee Relations contended that the “high level of SUNY salaries” did not warrant a 5% across-the-board increase and a 1.5% merit raise. Instead, the State recommended 3.5% and 1.5% increases, respectively. C.A. Yeracaris, president of the State University of Buffalo chapter of SUNY/United, expects a “favorable" recommendation from the committee. However, Dr. Yeracaris said from the “political pressure Governor” could counter a favorable report from the committee on the floor of the Originally, SUNY/United requested a three-part raise: (1) a 9% across-the-board increase; (2) a $425 raise for each of its clients and (3) a $2 million pool to be distributed proportionally to those faculty members making less than the median income. This last request, based on 3% of total SUNY salaries, was aimed at achieving a greater degree of parity for SUNY personnel. The State countered by offering a 3% merit raise, to be granted at the discretion of individual SUNY units as rewards for excellence in teaching and/or legislature. To counter pressure, Dr. this political Yeracaris said SUNY/United needs the active Attempts at mediation Unable to agree, SUNY/United support of all SUNY faculty and and the Office of Employee non-teaching professionals “at this Relations submitted the dispute critical moment.” He explained to the American Arbitrators that although SUNY/United is Association.

Iis j in the fully carpeted large lecture halls on the first floor, if this solution does not prove practical, Mr. Greiner said a rush order for temporary seating facilities will be placed. Workers are presently repairing a brick wall on one side of the building which slipped earlier this year, causing water leakage and preventing complete carpet installation. Pointing out that “one thing which is out of phase can delay a whole operation,” Mr. Greiner said the lack of carpeting interfered with the installation of bookshelves. Dr. Mix was very pleased with the cooperation the law school has received from'Facilities Planning in solving the problems concerned \jpth housing, student organizations and' facilities. Temporary office space has been assigned to the Buffalo Law Review, the law school newspaper Opinion and the Student Bar Association until permanent space is provided with the completion of the adjacent library- student union. Rathskeller Area O’Brien Hall will also accomodate two student lounges on the first and fourth floors and a hot-cold food service concession in the basement. Although this “rathskeller area” will not be as elegant as the rest of the building,” Dr. Mix said, “at least students will have an eating place complete with special tables.’* Food service stated, however, that the Board of Health has balked at the suggestion of permission to open the cafeteria because of two recent flooding incidents.The first of these occurred —dix On the floor Law students returning to John O'Brian Hall will find that the first four weeds of classes will be spent on the floors as furniture has not yet been installed. when a temporary water main cracked and flooded the excavated area between O’Brien Hall and the Education and Philosophy building under construction next door. In that incident, a bulldozer spent the entire night under water. The second flood was caused by another water main break last week. Most of the student activities will eventually be moved to jfaj pnipn groups will be making claims for space as the law school expands. Plans are being made to set up a simulated law Arm and a legislative drafting service. the£ Reading room open Dr. Mix reported that the main reading room of the library will be open the first week of school. While many of the books have not yet been moved into the stacks from Eagle Street and the Prudential Building, there will eventually be 180,000 volumes on the library shelves. The library also contains plenty of lounge and study space, including 500 reader stations and,many closed cubicles and long tables. Each student will be assigned a locker in one of the locations scattered throughout the: building. One stack-area on the seventh floor of the library has been reserved volumes have been set aside exclusively for faculty reference in an enclosed area on the fourth floor opposite the inner courtyard. 289 M3 I I Sept. 17 thru Dec. 14 i - ENGLISH DEPARTMENT | a , Take advantage of private lessons and* mall group workshops with the most ( outstanding folk, blues, jazz and* , classical guitarists in the Buffalo area.

Wednesday, Ml. Problems in construction of the North Campus Law School are gradually being ironed out, although officials do not expect the building to be entirely completed until January. While the first day of classes was delayed for over a week, faculty, staff and students of the John Lord O’Brien School of Law and Jurisprudence are eagerly preparing for the September 18 opening. Aware that “staging and phasing” problems would develop, Facilities Hanning urged law school personnel not to move into O’Brien Hall until January. However, faculty members felt it would be impossible to relocate the entire operation in mid- winter. Assistant Dean Marjorie Mix feds that overcoming initial obstacles will bring faculty and students doser together, giving them a sense of that “pioneer spirit”. 5 3 i The Spectrum is published three times a week, on Monday, Wednesday and Friday, during the regular academic year; and once a week, on Friday, during the summer months; by Sub-Board I, Inc. of the State University of New York at Buffalo.

Students arriving that day found that their board contracts were not scheduled to begin until the following evening. Intervention needed Residents found themselves faced with extremely limited eating options, since the “cash lin6” was scheduled to close at 4:30 that afternoon. Intervention by Len Snyder, acting assistant “vice-president for Auxiliary Enterprises, and Madison Boyce, director of University Housing allowed the cafeteria line to remain open until 7:00. The problem was intensified by the fact the Vending Service hadn’t completed installation of their machines and only soft drinks and coffee were avail- able. “Everything would have been alleviated if there were at least vending machines,” stated Mr. j Gordon. Originally, vending machines were to be installed in the four lounges designed for that purpose. Each lounge, however, could accomodate six machines and a decision was made that more efficient service could be provided if the machine were centrally located. The cafeterias were selected Unfortunately, this change in for this purpose. architectural plans necessitated the installation of new water and power lines to service the new location andwork therefore could not be completed before the dorms opened. Lights out This is one of many unfinished bases awaiting the mounting of light fixtures in the Amherst parking lots. resident hall students protected access to social activities and library facilities in O’Brian Hall. Without the fenced-in sidewalk, pedestrians would be in danger dodging towering earth movers rumbling along at thirty miles an hour. Charles Smith, project coordinator of the State University Construction Fund, said he didn’t have the contract available that listed the projected completion date but noted that the sidewalk is not under construction and “they are busting their asses to get it in as soon as possible.” Mr. Smith also stated that lighting in the parking lots is now under construction. “We had three temporary lights up but wires hadn’t been run fb them,” said Mr. Smith. This work is now in its final stages. Construction of permanent lighting fixtures is also underway. Nothing new Don Bozek, assistant director of Food Service said that the delayed starting time for board contracts was nothing unusual. “We didn’t start until the day after the dorms opened last year either,” stated Mr. Bozek. However, Mr. Gordon pointed out in his letter that the isolation of the dorms and the fact that a high proportion of the residents were freshmen were known beforehand and that plans should have been rpade to avoid these problems. Another problem criticized by IRC was the failure of the University to complete the sidewalk between the North Campus dormitories and the Law Building. This sidewalk was planned to allow • DR. M.

They sublet (heir apartments for the summer, and the subletters default on the rent payments; they pay in good faith for goods or services they don’t receive and they don’t know what to do. If you’ve lost money, the amount is not more than SS00, and all you want to do is get your money back, take your case to Small Claims Court. Small Claims Court is a much-misunderstood and underused remedy for many of the small but vexing problems students face. Aiiy individual (not a corporation, only an individual may sue in Small Claims Court), who feels he or she has been wronged by another individual, partnership or corporation and has suffered a monetary loss, can go to Small Claims Court for relief. The Legal Aid Clinic has all the information you’ll ever need, but people generally don’t fully utilize its services. The court is located in the City Court building at 42 Delaware Avenue. Once you’ve found it, you follow a four-step procedure to press your claim. who must either live or have a place of business in Erie County.Students whose permanent addresses are outside of Erie County may also be sued. Second, the clerk sends a summons by registered mail notifying the defendant of the charges against him and warning that he will lose by default if he does not appear. If the clerk cannot reach the defendant by mail, the plaintiff will be given the summons. Then the plaintiff must try to serve the summons personally. The summons must be served before the case can be heard. Third, once the summons is served, the defendant may institute a counterclaim, in which case the clerk notifies the plaintiff. If the defendant does not enter a counterclaim and fails to appear in court, you win. If the case proceeds to the fourth, and usually final step, both parties go to court. If one party demands a jury trial, the case is transferred to the Civil Division. When the court session begins, the clerk “calls the docket” legal parlance for checking attendance. If both parties are present, the judge will hear the case. First, the judge asks if the parties prefer to be heard before a judge or an arbitrator. The court prefers, and in most cases are adequately served, by choosing the arbitrator. ■' *• - n Starting October 1, Campus Security will begin issuing tickets to faculty cars parked in student Jots. Security already tickets student cars in faculty lots. President Ketter approved this recommendation of the Traffic Control Advisory Committee (TCAG) on June 22. Vehicles without parking stickers are considered to belong to visitors and will be permitted to park only' in the Diefendorf lot. Overnight guests may park in the Main-Bailey lot if they notify Security beforehand. Dumping prohibited This recommendation came after the Committee rejected a plan to create open parking throughout campus. Cliff Palefsky, Student Rights coordinator and a member of TCAC, commented that “the student parking situation on campus is ridiculous. After the proposal for open parking was rejected, the least we could do was ensure that student lots would not be a dumping ground for overflows from faculty and visitor lots,” concluded Mr. Palefsky. However, this move may not have an effect on the parking problem. There are between 15,000 and 20,000 vehicles on campus and 6nly 5000 available spaces. A second recommendation of the TCAC waste return to campus parking tickets rather than City of Buffalo and Amherst parking tickets. Mr. Palefsky argued that there would be many advantages to this system. Fines would allegedly be reduced to $5 and. under with the revenues collected by the University rather than going to the City of Buffalo or Amherst STUDENT CAMPUS to collect assessed fines,” Mr. Palefsky said, referring to an act of the 1972 State Legislature, which gives University the power to deduct any unpaid fines from a paycheck of a faculty or staff member and to withhold a student’s grades and/or diploma if he fails to pay his fines. The fact that fines could not be collected from faculty and staff was a major reason that campus tickets were abandoned three years ago. Status quo This recommendation did jnot receive Dr. Ketter’s approval. Thomas Craine, assistant to President Ketter, explained that the decision to reject the motion was reached for two basic reasons. The Administration still does not believe that the University is able to ensure that persons ticketed will pay their fines-and it doesn’t feel that the University be able to create a functional operation that will k smoothly and justly. Dr. Craine put it this way: “We fail to see really legitimate reasons" that woulckhecessitate a change. Robert Hunt, chairman of the TCAC, was one of the dissenting votes in a 7-2 majority that favored the acceptance of both recommendations. In support of the Administration’s decision, Mr. Hunt stated that there is no evidence that this new system would be more efficient than its predecessor and therefore he too sees no reason for a change. ■ V Mr. Palefsky finds the Administration’s stand “unbelievable.” “|fs position ignores ,fhe fact' that as a rfesult of the n'eW from Albapy, previously faltering systems ip Binghamton, Albany and elsewhere are now working smoothly and efficiently,” concluded Mr. Palefsky. 2 . >• wanted to represent major transportation company.

In an attempt to steer the public and the Congress away from the problems of Watergate, the President has, in the span of one week, held a news conference to discuss “substantive issues,” met with congressional leaders of both parties in an attempt to coordinate their efforts, issued his second State of the Union message, and spoke to the nation on radio. In his effort to saturate the American public with nonsense about the economy, the budget and defense spending, Mr. Nixon has contradicted himself over and over. For example, Mr. Nixon is attempting to deal with inflation, the Number One problem in America, with the following words: “Americans want and deserve decisive action to fight rising prices. And they want every possible step taken now not a year from now or in the next session of the Congress.” He is also fighting inflation with the following action: the lifting of regulations governing the price of natural gas, so that the price can arise, and further expansion of production can - Nixon address urges Congressional action President Nixoii has appealed the people and the to. act. swiftly and positively On what he considers to be essential legislation. In an 18-minute radio address Sunday, the President consistently stressed the theme of cooperation between the Executive and Legislative branches. Additionally, he asked “the people” to become more active in determining public policy, and not leave the matter entirely up to the Washington to both Congress * Mr Nixon also submitted a fin whicn he outlined 50 legislative menage, leader Mike Mansfield feels that the armed forces could be cut from 2.2 million men to 1.8 million men without damage to the n =ation’s security. Ser Mansfield made it clear that defense spending would be an area of sharp conflict. He said: “Frankly, the I think administration is asking too much.” In his State of the Union message, the President stated that he was “adamantly opposed to attempts at balancing the overall budget by slashing the defense and tl« to**** irresponsible the consider. The President’s second such address this year, touched upon the issues of the budget, defense spending, the economy, the energy crisis and the environment Watergate ‘unimportant’ In his radio message, the President asked the people to prod their ’Congressmen into holding the line on federal spending, and \jirged the people to support passage of his proposed legislation. The President also Said that the Executive and Legislative branches should “seek solutions that are in the common interest.” Implying that the Watergate scandal does not affect the lives of American citizens, the President “{Cooperation) means said: holding the spotlight of public attention and public debate on those issues that directly and personally affect you and your lives.” Apparently referring to the court battle over the Watergate tapes, Mr. Nixon asked that no limits on Congress place presidential powers that “would jeopordize the capacity of the President, in this and in future administrations, to carry out his responsibilities to the American people.” Defense cuts disputed The message, which was made available at 2 p.m. Sunday, also warned the people about defense tampering with the budget. Mr. Nixon recognized the trend in recent years to suggest funding for domestic programs by cutting the defense budget by $5 to $20 billion. The President termed actions like this one •‘worse than foolhardy: I they are) suicidal.”, In contrast. Senate Majority turner dangerously 8 andII will veto any bdI ,‘ hat , ,nch des cuts wou,d ,m P enl our natlonalt * security „ Tax reform proposed Regarding the inflation and the economy, the President underscored the fact that Americans want lower and more stabilized prices. He is opposed to a tax increase, but favors a tax “reform” to taring about a “fairer and simpler” system of taxation. While attempting to keep prices down,' the President has asked the Democratic-corftrolled to free natural gas from regulations which he said have held prices artificially low and discouraged expansion of production. He also asked for approval of the Alaska pipeline, of strip mining to obtain more coal for lower costs, and of building more deepwater ports for super oil tankers.' The President seems to feel that revenue sharing can help solve many of our problems. He has proposed that direct federal grants to education be replaced by revenue sharing; revenue sharing should also be the method for occur. People to take action Indeed, his heart is in the right place. Like a man who has to win back the faith of his business associates, Mr. Nixon has quietly abandoned last week’s assessment of Congress. At his press conference, he called their record “disappointing,” but has since said that Congress has done a good job “overall.” In his radio message, he-appealed to the people of the country to “help get action.” He asked the people not to allow the “social planners” in COMMENTARY Washington to usurp their right to plan their schools. He simultaneously proposed fifty programs to be initiated at the federal level. In the Stale of the Union message foe restated his opposition to compulsory school busing, .and proposed tjie elimination of certain grant programs. But he still feels that school planning should be done by the individual school district. His attitude in both the State of the Union message and the radio address was one of conciliation with the Congress. However, he still maintains positions that are diametrically opposed to those of the Democratic-controlled legislature. He said that he .would not hesitate to veto any legislation that he considered “budget busting,” and refused to reorder his priorities. Strip mining to be legalized Years of complaining, legal action and legislation at federal and local levels have finally made some inroads into preserving the environment. Mr. Nixon is attempting to reverse that trend. In an effort to hold down prices (our No. 1 priority, remember?), Mr. Nixon has proposed that “standards” be established so that strip mining of coal might be used to add to the energy supply. Enforcement of the standards would probably rest with the federal government, since they would be establishing the guidelines. In the last few years, most people have lost much faith in the enforcement powers of the federal government. One wonders how easily the coal manufacturers will be able to bribe the appropriate officials so the “standards” might be relaxed. The President is very concerned with the energy crisis. However, nowhere in his radio address or State of the Union message does he offer a plan for developing alternative methods of energy production. There is no mention of the fact that all the oil companies realized their highest profits ever last year. Occidental Petroleum leading the list with profits of over $400 million. He does not respond to consumer questions regarding the high cost of gasoline, in light of the oil company’s high profits. Death penalty to be reinstated The dismantling of the Office of Economic Opportunity was declared unconstitutional this past year. OEO sponsored many projects designed to benefit the inner city residents. The Model Cities program was such a project Mr. Nixon has seen fit to describe the program as “proven failures.” This is clearly because funding was consistently held up for the program. In a return to barbarism, he has proposed the reinstatement of the death penalty for certain high crimes. The man must feel frustrated that people are not dying in Southeast Asia in the same numbers as the past, so he will try to watch them die here. Whoever said his attention is focused exclusively on foreign affairs? No power erosion of the President The President said he believed in a “strong Congress,” but he added. “1 will continue to oppose all efforts to strip she Presidency of the powers it must have to be effective ... There should be no monopoly of power.” Amazingly, he threatens to veto anything that cuts the defense budget, raises taxes, or increases the minimum wage too quickly, but insists that he stands “ready to find workable compromises wherever possible on solutions to our national problems.” The double-talk and double-think that Richard Nixon epitomizes has finally engulfed us with nonsensical words and contradictory actions. The real test of the President’s committment to the people will come when Congress finally does get down to enacting legislation. : \ BUY PAPER MATE $1.95 PEN GET FREE 49c financing job training programs. Health insurance programs were also proposed, as well as legal services for the poor. A program for restructuring the railroads was also bankrupt suggested, in addition to the reform of the entire U.S. criminal code, including stiffer penalties for traffickers hi heroin. Finally, Mr. Nixon also proposed that the death penalty be reinstated for crimes of treason, assassination, certain acts of sabotage and' espionage and violation of certain federal laws in which death results.

Stay away To the Editor: In response to the Gerhard Falk (The Spectrum, 9/10) I would like to say that he is totally out of line in his argument. He feels that this institution should be closed on various and Sunday Jewish Holidays. Mr. Gerhard seems to feel as if the University Is a Jewish institution when in reality it is not. If he wants to do whatever Jews do on their days of leisure (which is most of the time) let him and the rest of his Zionists stay away. The people who are truly interested in helping America become great don’t want to be bothered with such rubbish as Mr. Falk wants tto inflict on us. If they (the Jews) don’t like it here, let them go somewhere else. Robert W. Price t example, the energy crisis. Mr Nixon has asked Congressional approval of the Alaskan pipeline, free market prices for natural gas, standards for strip mining and other legislation, most of which will-have no effect this winter but will greatly profit the oil, gas and coal industries. The gasoline squeeze this summer and foreboding warnings of possible shortages of heating oil for homes this winter have shocked the average consumer into the latent realization that our resources are not endless. The recent warnings by oil-rich Arab countries that they will limit oil supplies to the U.S. unless we moderate our policies toward Israel has not only complicated the Middle East situation but made Americans all too aware of our dependence on imported oil. In the tong run we must develop alternate sources of energy, quite possibly nuclear, to ease our growing, exclusive dependence on oil. In the short run, no one will argue that we must take necessary. -even distasteful steps to avoid a heating crisis this winter but this is not the same as Mr.' Nixon's new "damn the environment" approach. Careful analysis - Capricious , UTORIAL of competing interests is necessary to resolve the important areas of conflict between proponents of energy and the environmentalists.— not a wholesale renunciation of clean air standards and other ecological concerns which would negate the progress of recent years. Reiterating his opposition to school busing for integration, Mr. Nixon said he believes in "the right of children to attend schools near their homes with friends who live near them." This is a thinly-veiled description of white friends and suburban homes, an appeal to racist instincts which his work ethic and anti-welfare rhetoric successfully exploited in the 1972 election. But his rose-colored declaration that "the dismantling of the dual school systems in the south is now virtually complete" is not only too sad to be laughable; it is painfully typical of an Administration which makes optimistic pronouncements in the face of harsh reality. This is a favorite tactic, whether it is labeling the shambles in Indochina "peace with honor," the President unilaterally declaring the urban crisis to be over, or Earl Butz telling us to eat fish. Another favorite Nixon ploy is to cry "inflation!" when Congress proposes the education and social welfare programs he has never liked, while ruling out any suggested cuts in the sacred defense budget as injurious to national security. Certainly we must keep our military and strategic strength strong on the eve of SALT—II and troop reduction talks with the Soviet Union, but to pretend that the inflated and padded $79 billion Pentagon budget cannot be trimmed is foolhardy. It has long been clear that the greatest threat to America comes not from a foreign enemy but from within, from the disaffected millions who are at the bottom of the social ladder. The President mouths platitudes about the work ethic, but this summer vetoed an aid-to-the- handicapped bill which included vocational training as "inflationary." This week he vetoed a bill to raise the minimum wage from $1.60 to $2.20 an hour on the same grounds grossly ignoring the fact the minimum wage-earners are those hardest hit by skyrocketing prices and it■''ii V*n»i mi inflation. 1 '■*He proposed scrapping urban renewal and model cities programs Monday because they are "proven failures," ignoring the lack of funds and limited scope which hampered the projects, much as he ignored the law in the illegal dismantling of OEO. All of this describes Mr. Nixon's reactionary social philosophy which will use any argument, from inflation to a rejection of Washington paternalism, to deter social programs for the poor and disadvantaged. Congress, however, stands ready to oppose the White House on domestic priorities. That the courts have overturned the destruction of OEO and have ruled Presidential impoundment of funds illegal in every single court test is a relieving example of our time-tested system of checks and balances. It is this system that President Nixon has tried to pervert by ignoring Congress, the courts and the press; and it is the same time-worn system which exposed the excesses of Watergate and has produced a revived Congress ready to challenge a President who six months ago seemed invincible. One thing Watergate has made clear is that although three-quarters of the country believe Mr. Nixon guilty of personal complicity, the large majority has recognized that impeachment is simply not feasible in the modern age. Impeachment is a long, divisive process which would paralyze the government at" an home and abroad for at least six months unthinkable period. . Once elected, it seems a President can break the law at his pleasure and still be immune from impeachment a prospect frightening for its of executive abuse. But the power of implications the press, which has in effect become a fourth branch of government, can serve as a check on that abuse as can public opinion, the legislature and the courts. Despite Mr. Nixon's attempts to bribe judges, wiretap newsmen, manipulate the FBI, CIA, IRS and ignore subpoenas, those institutions remain alive and well. Just how effective they are will be determined in the coming months as the once-monarchial President and the once-dormant Congress lock horns on the crucial issues facing our country. ■ Six months ago President Nixon behaved as if the Congress did not exist. Buoyed by a landslide victory, carving a super-Cabinet of an all-powerful shielded isolation by the in few, Haldeman-Ehrtichman palace guard, Mr. Nixon spoke of grand plans which excluded significant input from the legislature. A torrent of disclosures later, his initiatives blocked by a strengthened and adversary Congress, Mr. Nixon has now decried enroachments of Presidential power by the legislature.'Although Congress has done little more than reassert its constitutional responsibilities in such areas as the illegal impoundment of funds and the power to declare war, such notions run counter to the Nixonian concept of a Presidency free of any compromise or restraint, whether from Congress, the courts, or the press. The enemy lists and the wiretapping of newsmen were the first signs that Mr. Nixon believed in. a Presidency above the law. His assertion that he would only obey a "definitive decision" of the Supreme Court to release the tapes typically ignores the fact that "ordinary" citizens would be compelled to obey even a 5-4 ruling on narrow legal grounds. Arguments like these and the Ehrlichman thesis (that the President has the discretionary authority to order burglaries) underscore Mr. Nixon’s monarchical view of his office. But when his popularity rating plummeted to a low of 31%, the king was dethroned. In his place appears Richard Nixon the politician, scoring Congress for a "disappointing" record on one hand and pledging to work for compromise on the other. HEs idea of compromise, however, is to publicly denounce Congress for opposing his policies, much the same way as he used to lambast antiwar demonstrators as "unpatriotic." But now he faces a rejuvenated Congress which has its own, independent idea of budget priorities. It is in this atmosphere that President Nixon sent his second State of the Union message to Congress Monday. The report deals with a wide range of issues, some so intricate and complex that there are no clear-cut solutions, despite the i President's rhetoric to the contfary. There is, for Editor’s note: It is precisely this type of attitude “send ’em hack to Africa, or wherever they came which explains from, we don't need them here” much of the ugliness of the world today. Congratulations. Mr Price, on your open-minded attitude toward members of groups other than your - - own.' ■■ �,r~ Outside by Clem Colucci would be UPI reported Friday that “Apparently acting on a tip relayed by a White House source, security officers at the State Department Thursday discovered that a little-used room on the third floor had been the scene of surreptitious sexual activities ... State Department sources said the room (was) apparently used to store janitors’ supplies.” The story continued that the General Services Administration (GSA) was investigating. Now really! Sensible people may hope that this policy of harassing Foggy Bottom fornicators will stop when Henry Kissinger (if, indeed, he wasn’t the one) takes over. But if there’s one thing sensible people know it’s that the sensible thing is rarely done in Washington. So prepare yourself for intensified efforts to crack down on screwing in the broom closet. Expect die President to.announce (if he can’t keep it secret) the formation of a new “plumbers” unit to probe into sex in government agencies. This would be a perfect opportunity to get John Ehrlichman back into public life. As you certainly recall from the Watergate hearings, Mr. Ehrlichman is the ex-Presidential Assistant so down on Congressional tipplers and Other sinful Washington types. The possibilities are endless. Imagine bugged broom closets, wiring for sound the space behind the file cabinets, setting up closed-circuit TV in the parking garage to peer into bureaucrats’ Buicks. Maybe Secretary of State Kissinger willbe asked to tap phones of his aides to learn who’s been leaking sex into foreign affairs. And the change in Dr. Kissinger’s image will be astounding. Ail his previous flings with Jill St. John, Mario Thomas and other women will have to be declared inoperative. He’ll have to stop joking, drink nothing stronger than milk, remarry his divorced wife and become a dedicated family man like all the other faceless, mindless Nixon aides. And imagine the expense; thousands, millions of obr tax dollars going to pay for these hew efforts to stop “surreptitious sexual activities.” The creation of a new Cabinet-level position. Secretary of Sex, is not too absurd. Annual Congressional budget hearings »rf. .1 mg In well attended. The Senate Foreign Relations Committee will decline in importance and the House Foreign Affairs Committee will take over. Can you see ancient, ailing Sen. John McClellan (D., Ark.), the tireless investigative chairman of the Government Operations Committee? Hell have to hire not lawyers for his probes but Masters and Johnson. Oh, and if only Alfred Kinsey were still alive. Sexual Behavior and the American Politician would be a classic. This might make Captain Black's loyalty oath competition from Catch-22 look like kid stuff. The State Department will ‘demand all employees sign affadavits swearing to their virginity if they’re unmarried, the Defense Department will see them and then require all employees to swear that, if they’re married, they’ve never had sex with anyone but their spouses. State, not to be outdone, will insist on gynecological examinations to insure chastity. (Of course it’s discriminatory, but politics is a sexist game.) Defense will put saltpeter in the cafeteria food. And the National Security Council will go farthest, castrating all men in sensitive positions. (OX., Women’s Libbers, that puts you even for the gynecologists at State.) Think of the potential for a new McCarthyism. “Are you now having, or have you ever had, sex with any man, woman, animal, plant or inanimate object?” “Point of order, Mr. Chairman.” “Yes?” “Does your right hand count?’ “I have in my hand a list of 257 known indulgers in sex, indulgers known to those at the highest levels of the Government.” . . . .Nineteen years of debauchery.” And you thought the Army-McCarthy hearings were something Someone please preserve us from such self-righteousness. People have been closet copulators for years. Not even Presidents are immune to the power of lust Warren Harding and FDP being merely those examples of which we have proof. With everything else this country needs done, if we let Big Uncle waste his time and our money to stop screwing in the broom closet, we’re in trouble. “ - From a prisoner For the purpose of communicating with students on campus and receiving the campus paper 1 would appreciate it very much if you would publish or circulate rhy name in your paper. 1 ' My name ii: Raymond Ray Sales, No. 125371, Post Office Bd* 78t;-Lucasville, Ohio, 45648.

Among the sports to remain unaffected (due to their small scale national play) are hockey, fencing and indoor track. by Bruce Engel Contributing Editor Watergate probe abbreviated WASHINGTON The Senate Watergate committee intends to abbreviate its hearings when they resume later this month. However, a majority of the seven-member Senate Select Committee has decided against splitting the panel into two subcommittees and is opposed to a suggested ban on television coverage of the hearings. - Students keep $55 million in loans In the last eight years the federal WASHINGTON (UPI) government and states have guaranteed $6 million in loans to help 6.1 million students pay for their education. Most pay the money back, but the relative few who don’t have become a serious problem. In the past five years, according to the U.S. Office of Education, an estimated 60,000 college and trade school students have defaulted on $55.2 million in federally guaranteed student loans. Under the guarantee program, the federal govenrment had to pick the tab and repay the money to the banks and other institutions up from which the students had borrowed the money. Subsequently, it was able to recover only $3.2 million from the defaulting students. One big problem has been that, as recently as March, 1972, there were only three federal collectors for deliquent student loans in the whole country. There are now 28 collectors and examiners in ten regional offices, but the collection goal for this year is still a modest $5.5 million - —continued on page 10— 3*^ -•V UNIVERSITY TEXAS RED HOTS 38 KENMORE AVE.

Hockey and fencing will be unaffected. Wrestling, baseball and basketball have everything to gain, whereas the smaller programs have nothing to lose. It is doubtful that in the near future, swimming, track or tennis will produce championship teams of even Division III caliber. “The local organizations can take care of them,” said Athletic Director Harry Fritz, referring to the New York State Athletic Association which holds post-season championships in these sports. • • ~ . - Coaches prefer Division I Apparently most of the people in the Athletic Department want the Bulls to be in Division I. Cause for optimism Despite much turmoil and gloom, there is some cause for optimism. Even before the first intercollegiate contest was played, the Athletic Department was issued a budget. The basketball team is rebuilding with a junior college transfer from Kansas and an Ohio All-Star. The wrestling team has recruited two of its best prospects in a long time. Hockey coach Ed Wright has a dozen local recruits that he feels can skate well. Baseball still has some of Basketball coach »Leo Richardson is rebuilding its hitting and all of its pitching. Although it seems now and probably won’t have a quality team for a incredible, Buffalo seems to be headed for the or two. He prefers Division I and a chance for year Athletic Association’s National Collegiate the'limelight. “If you’re anything but Division !, Division I. newly-formed you’re second class,” said Richardson. “We’re not going to get anywhere playing some of these small New alignment schools we’ve played in the past.” Several weeks ago, the NCAA finally passed Scheduling will be the major advantage of realignment legislation. It had been obvious for Division I play. Fritz feels that Buffalo should aspire that crisis would hit the several years a organization if some changes were not effected and if a clearer to compete with “prestige and important schools of were not similar design,” citing Cornell, Colgate and according to size of schools •TUi/oi separation r liliu' JO 'Hi i made.

However, it won’t be easy for Buffalo, a respectable position in Division I until the Athletic Department achieves greater stability. The NCAA’s power structure has been changed to properly balance the divisions. Each division is free to make its own by-laws pertaining to scholarships and scheduling, but their regulations cannot conflict with the NCAA constitution. The 120 schools with a large-scale football program were automatically placed in Division I. All other schools have until a date in October (yet to be decided) to choose their division.

Eve, D., Buffalo, ATTICA, N.Y. (UPI) said a four-hour tour of the Attica Correctional Facility Sunday convinced him that only superficial changes have been made since the bloodiest prison riot in the country’s history happened there two years - ago. Eve, one of the observers during the uprising, told a crowd of about 200 persons gathered outside the prison Sunday that Attica’s rehabilitation program is “still very, very minimal.” The crowd gathered to commemorate the second anniversary of the five-day insurrection which claimed 43 lives 32 inmates and 11 - guards. Eve told the crowd some recreational programs were improved and a college program that benefits about 30 inmates had been instituted. He called most of the changes “cosmetic.” CAMPUS Amherst land debated In a very unusual move, the Board of Directors of the Faculty-Student Association (FSAJ voted to go into Executive session at their last Friday’s meeting (Sept. 7). “We went into executive session for the first time in at least-five years,” stated Anthony Lorenzetti, assistant vice-president for Student Affairs and Board Member. The Board was to have discussed the future of the over five-hundred acre plot of land owned by the Board near the North Campus. Previous discussions on the matter indicated a desire on the part of the Board to sell the land and set up a trust fund whose proceeds would be for the benefit of the University community. However, Board members were unwilling to comment on what had transpired during the closed session. “I don’t think it would serve the best interests of FSA to go into it,” stated Dr. Lorenzetti. “I do however think its a good thing and don’t want to ruin it.” Student Association Treasurer Ken Unker revealed that though he had been unable to attend the meeting, since he was a Board member, he had been briefed on the proceedings. However, he also declined to make any comments. There has been speculation that the discussions may have concerned the final procedures for disposition of the land. any — T — - - T . p. n i INDEPENDENT ; ■ • i. ‘ 2820 BAILEY FOREIGN CAR SERVICE (at Kensington Expy. behind Radio Shack) YOUR BEST BUY IN AUTO BARGAIN HUNTING?

It may also allow for an expansion of clothing department stock into other reasonably-priced items such as dungarees and sneakers. Campus Editor The Campus Bookstore is sporting a new image this fall. Summer-long negotiations between General Manager Tom Moore; Student Association (SA) Student Rights Coordinator Cliff Palefsky, and SA Executive vice-president pens, paper, and notebooks, to accomodate early semester rushes, increase the efficiency of theBookstore. In the supply department, prices on all necessity items were either retained from last year or substantially reduced. Additionally, Mr. Moore agreed to run promotional sales on important supplies, including pens, paper, and. notebooks, to accomodate early semester rushed. Reasoning that it is not necessary to make a large profit on required supplies, Mr. Moore hopes the students will recognize the price breaks and consequently purchase other goods in the store. To better define the high selling items, a financial distinction has been made between the clothing and gift Roomier atmosphere The external appearance of the Bookstore has recently been rearranged to crate a roomier, less crowded atmosphere, more conducive to shopping. Accounting offices, formerly located on the emzzanine level. were moved to Goodyear Hall and the empty area was converted into usable space. It is also expected that the new layout will help reduce pilferage. ‘The new setup was designed to give the store more flexibility,” Mr. Moore said. He pointed out that the installation of gondolas, rows of shelves on castors, makes it easy to rearrange the floor of the store without disturbing the ' " merchandise. Mr. Moore also announced that he will try to fill all future part-time vacancies with students whose schedules fit the need of the Bookstore. . ‘Free exchange of ideas’ officials to record Mr. Palefsky, Mr. Saleh and Mr. differences in individual sales of Moore have been meeting together soft goods, gifts, jewelry, greeting to discuss problems facing the cards, class rings, and sundries to Bookstore since the current specifically indentlfy where the Student Association departments. This enables Bookstore administration took office last March. Referring to the cooperation he has received form the SA, Mr. Moore was very pleased with “the free exchange of ideas” that has passed between them. The group is presently investigating new textbook ordering policies for the upcoming year. Mr. Palefsky outlines the SA’s proposed guidelines: “One individual in each department will be responsible for obtaining all faculty book orders and forwarding them to the Bookstore as a single departmental ordef.” He added this “liasion” would help the Bookstore determine how many books to order, preventing surplus or insufficient orders. Better book service Mr. Saleh feels that under this system, more direct pressure will be exerted upon the faculty to meet textbook ordering deadlines. “By accounting for last minute changes ip class structure including capacity changes and class cancellations, this procedure will be more effective students large losses of and to prevent money,” Mr. Saleh added. Although Mr. Moore generally agreed with the idea, he was somewhat concerned about problems which have arisen in the past. ‘X)ur biggest worry has been ordering enough books Tb meet the demand without having too many left on the shelves that can’t be returned to the publishers,” he said. Although Mr. Moore generally agreed with the idea, he was somewhat concerned about problems which have arisen in the past. “Our biggest worry has been ordering enough books to meet the demand without having too many left on the shelves that can’t be returned to the publishers,” he said. Another problem the three-man committee will tackle concerns the check cashing service. Because the Bookstore incurs losses of several hundred dollars each year by cashing bad checks, it was suggested that such cases be reported to Campus Security if an initial “courtesy” letter proves fruitless. Security has expressed interest ip this idea.

Currently, the Collegiate System at Buffalo consists of 15 Colleges. In its current form, the Collegiate System comprises a wide range of programs. For instance, Rachel Carson College offers an interdisciplinary Ecology program, Women’s Studies College examines the role of women in society and College Z offers an alternative law program.

John Lane New course probes Watergate scandal by Scott Edelman Spectrum Staff Writer The Watergate scandal is now on this University’s list of academic endeavors. A new experimental course is being offered by the Political Department Science in conjunction with the Law School, and the History and Philosophy Departments. The course, taught by fifteen faculty members is titled “Perspectives on Watergate.” According to Political Science, Department Chairman John Lane, the course is designed to “separate the wheat from the chaff.” The problem with understanding the Watergate affair is not the lack of information but rather the overabundance of it, said Dr. Lane. Dr. Lane emphasized that this is not a course for those merely looking for an easy “A.” “We will not spend each week collectively reciting from The New York Times," said Dr. Lane. “This course will not become another bull session or encounter group for people to release themselves of political frustrations.” Magruder cancelled Dr. Lane originally planned for the class to attend Watergate defendant Jeb Stuart Magruder’s talk which had been scheduled to be held on campus October 10. Unfortunately the talk has been cancelled following District Court Sirica’s Judge John order prohibiting Watergate defendants from continuing their speaking (Full & Everyone knows what it wrong with the environment MWF 10-10:50 Acheton 5 Dr. Connally nc amen street « sureatanewvorK M2oa “At this point in time,” the (registration course number 095310) will be limited to two hundred students. k THEDEAD Sept oc 26.

We're Growing a little closer WATCH FOR THE GRAND OPENING OF OUR NEW LOCATION 3184 Main Street • Buffalo, New York �Financial information Aid programs still available participating colleges, universities and nursing. vocatipnal, technical, trade, business or home study schools. HOW TO APPLY: Applications may be obtained from participating educational institutions, banks, savings and loans, credit unions and the United States Office of Education. WHEN TO APPLY: At any time. CRITE-R1A: All students are eligible, regardless of how high the family income. Only those with established need, however, can qualify to have the Federal Government pay the interest on the loan; others must pay their own interest. Those seeking interest-subsidized loans must fill out a needs analysis divulging income and assets. Such factors as a large family, brothers and sisters in college, both parents working and unusually large medical expenses are taken into consideration. The financial aid office of the educational institution processes the application, applying a mandated formula, and recommends to the potential lender the amount of the interest-subsidized loan (including a possible zero dollar recommendation) for which the student qualifies. Prior to March 1, a student from a family with an adjusted income of less than $15,000 could qualify for an interest-subsidized loan, but under new regulations many students who formerly qualified are finding themselves ineligible. SIZE OF LOAN: In general, loans may be for up to $2500 a year not to exceed $7500 during an entire undergraduate career and $10,000 during the course of undergraduate and graduate education. The annual amounts and cumulative totals vary, though, in some states, including Connecticut and New York. TERMS OF REPAYMENT: No payment on principal is required until nine to 12 months after the student leaves shcool or until after service in th» military, Peace Corps or VISTA. Once repayment begins, it is to be completed over a period of not more than 10 years and not less than five years, or sooner if the loan off at a rate of $360 a year. In the Editor’s Note: fallowing is a list of Federally and State funded financial aid programs available to students as reprinted from the SepterAber 4 issue of The New York Times. These, descriptions include changes instituted this summer in many of the programs. Basic Educational Opportunity Grants ELIGIBILITY: Open to full-time freshmen at colleges, universities and vocational and technical schools who did not attend a post-secondary educational institution prior to July 1, 1973. HOW TO APPLY; Applications are available from port-secondary institutions, high schools, post employment offices, state offices, county agricultural extension agencies and Box G, Iowa City, Iowa, 52240. WHEN TO APPLY; As soon as possible for the academic year now beginning. CRITERIA; Family income and assets determine who gets a grant, academic achievement having no bearing. Applicant must complete a detailed financial statement that is subject to comparison with the Federal income tax return that parents have filed with the Internal Revenue Service. In general, a student from a family of four with an income of S11,000 or more would not qualify for a grant. However, factors that can offset a higher income and enable a student to get a grant are a large family, brothers and sisters in college, both parents — working and unusually large medical expenses. SIZE OF GRANT: Ranging from $50 to $452 the top grant going to a student from a family that according to his income and assets cannot afford to contribute anything toward the student’s education. - TERMS OF REPAYMENT: This is a grant and there is no repayment involved.

Among the more important changes are the creation of Basic Opportunity Grants (BOG), the redefinition of the Equal Opportunity Grant program (EOG) and the reworking of guidelines for New York Higher Education Assistance Corporation (NYHEAC) loans. The BOG system was developed in response to the Nixon Administration’s desire to provide grants directly to students rather than awarding lump sums to individual institutions and requiring them to apportion the funds. Unfortunately, the appropriation authorized by Congress for this fiscal year has left the program badly underfunded. Grants will range from $50 to $452 rather than the (originally proposed) $1,400 OIL PAINTS CHARCOAL PENCILS ceiling.

Criteria for rank-ordering Additional criteria for the rank-ordering “should evolve from discussions with the Faculty Senate and the Collegiate Assembly,” Dr. Gelbaum stated. The final decision on any rank-ordering would probably be his own, Dr. Gelbaum said, “but only after consultation with all relevant organizations and individuals." Refuting a Collegiate official’s charge that the rank-ordering would be done on the basis of Dr. Gelbaum’s “ideological bias,” the Academic Affairs viccrpresident asserted; “We’re not censors.” The controversy over Dr. Gelbaum’s proposal is the latest in a series of disputes between the Colleges since the resignation of Director Wayland Smith last spring. Dr. Gelbaum’f decision this summer permitting Clifford Fumas College to withdraw from the Collegiate Assembly set off a flood of objections from College personnel. Collegiate officials have filed a greivance with the Faculty Senate Executive Committee charging Dr. Gelbaum with “acting beyond his authority, in an administrative effort to railroad policy past the Faculty Senate.” They also rlaim that Dr. Gelbaum violated the Collegiate Prospectus as well as the Faculty Senate Bylaws. Additionally, Dr. Gelbaum has been chairing the Collegiate Assembly meetings in the absence of a permanent Director. Collegiate officials recently wrote to President Kctter that “Dr. Gelbaum, while explicitly and competently performing his expressed Collegiate function as Chairman of the Assembly, has also effectively acted as though he were filling the office of the [CollegiateJ Director.” They have therefore asked Dr. Ketter to explain the “conflict of interest seen in the VPAA (vice-president for Academic Affairs) position to the Assembly."

Despite the great traditions of beer, however, the average college student callously consumes vast quantities of what seems to him only a gold alcohol-infested liquid. Joe College (that’s you) walks into his neighborhood tavern (the word bar has no class) and asks (in a quiet place) or yells (more typically) for a beer. He does not care if he gets the “King of Beers” or “A little Nip.” He is not cognizant that he is neglecting the very literal personality that each brand of beer has unto itself. You see, during the second half of the ninteenth century the beer that we drink today was first formulated. Soon afterwards, German immigrants brought over their great brewing heritage, combined it with “the American Way,” and family breweries sprung up across the States. Each brewmaster from “the land of Loewenbrau” imparted centuries-old traditions upon his brew. Since transportation and large-scale plants were not developed, almost every major town had its own brewery (Western New York had at least 20 in the early part of this century). Everyone was happy until prohibition. Cans and television Between the effects of prohibition and the great depression, hot manjr.; bf> the smaller breweries survived.

Free samples The pleasant Bavarian brewmaster, Baptist Schleelein, conducted the grand tour. I felt both awe and admiration for how grains, yeast and hops are almost magically converted into a light, carbonated beverage. Huge copper kettles for brewing, giant fermenting and aging tanks, and a fantastic bottling plant make up most of the brewery. They also have their own refrigeration plant and racking (keg-filling) department. Not one of the employees expressed dissatisfaction with his job. One of the workers said: ‘The family is nice, and they let us drink all we want as long as it doesn’t interfere with our work.” Not surprisingly, he told me he had worked there for 22 years. I ended the tour with numerous glasses of fresh, cool beer. Fortunately, the Koch brewery is in relatively good financial shape, despite the free beer. Yet, they are one of the last of a breed of brewers who are rapidly becoming extinct. Maybe the next time you go out to get a beer, you’ll think twice and ask “the Man” for a beer by name, rather than considering it any “gold alcohol-infested liquid.” Photos by Dave Simon Monday, 10 September 1973 The Spectrum Page nine . . �. / A threat to innovation The future of the Colleges is again in doubt. The system has been beset with problems since its 1968 debut as an exciting attempt to provide a type of education rerely possible in the traditional departments. Although some departments have flirted with innovation, most are generally limited by large classes, lecture formats and lack of individual attention, and department majors who insist on following curriculum for fear of missing something on the rocky road to grad school. In this context, only the Colleges have had the freedom to experiment with non-structured courses, with ideas ranging from Marxist analysis to residential living-learning units to photography to working at a radio station. Far-ranging experimentation has yielded many courses and even Colleges of questionable quality, but uncertainty is the price of exploration: some fail, others succeed. Evaluation is thus necessary to insure high standards successful ideas must be retained, while floundering courses must be either phased out or modified. Bernard Gelbaum, Academic Affairs vice-president, has proposed that the 15 Colleges should be rank-ordered, through intra- and extramural evaluation, and that only the "top three or five" should be retained for next year. His reasoning: that a few middle-class Colleges are preferable to a slate of lower-class ones. We strongly disagree. While Dr. Gelbaum rightly notes that study after study has cried "the Colleges are underfunded," castrating two-thirds of its programs is simply not the way to rectify its poverty. Many aspects of the Gelbaum proposal have merit. Xis suggestion to add $100,000 to next year's Collegiate budget is welcome, and the ddal evaluation now under way can only help identify strengths and weaknesses. Perhaps, as a result of evaluation, a few Colleges should be phased out. But to decide in advance that two-thirds or more must go is to pre-judge the whole system a failure and severely limit innovation. Basically, the Colleges were never expected to subsist on anything but limited funds, and it was felt that volunteers, grad studients, those with specialized interests and new formats would provide the innovation, not money. Money is needed to hjre qualified faculty, but acting director Keith Klopp rightly fears the proposal will lead to all faculty members, and hence an end to the experimental aspects of the system. It would transform the system from one where people "take risks" to one both more structured and more like traditional departments. A stifling of experimentation would thus be one result of Dr. Gelbaum's too-drastic proposal. By his own admission, cutting the Colleges by two-thirds would yield one-third as much opportunity for innovation. His plan to add "one or two a year" to reach 15 again in ten years is a rather backward way to reach the goal of overall quality. We must work with what we have now to create a viable system. Also, what criterion can be used to compare Colleges with differing formats, pholosophies and goals? How can a rank-ordering be done without bias? Which is more valuable, the History or Chemistry Department? Educational quality is an undisputed goal, but the raison d'etre for the diversity of the Colleges is that there are many ways to achieve it. A more moderate alternative would be to use the forthcoming evaluations to priorities. Programs rated most unfavorably could be dropped, while the highest-rated programs would get the biggest increases in funding. Those in the middle would be forced to make do, as all the Colleges do now, with limited bidgets, seeking alternate ways of improving their programs and upgrading their standards. In t few years more money might become iavaileble to them, but in the meantime they at least survive. Dr. Gelbaum's plan is still only a proposal, and the Faculty-Senate's Colleges Committee to which it was sent will eventually hold public hearings on his and other proposals. Students must be exceedingly vocal in their support of the Colleges, or else the system will be whittled down to a mere shadow of what it is now. Without strong support, the administration will assume we don't care. There is no place for apathy these issues directly affect the quality of our education. The Colleges need re-evaluation and modification not castration. — Joint conspiracy To the Editor: All articles thus far on Clifford Furnas College have admitted the irregularity of Dr. Gelbaum’s action but have minimally criticized Furnas College. One must realize the joint conspiracy of these two parties. I Gelbaum certainly has implemented his own desires in disregard for a pending report on the given issue, scheduled for the first Faculty Senate meeting in the fall. Although one news-article cited the success of Furnas College in being spawned in the Collegiate Assembly and outgrowing it, it would be fairer to say that Lyle Borst implemented his own desires in disregard for an elaborate review procedure now pending for determining the direction of all the Colleges. Three-member committees composed mostly of SUNYAB faculty were to review the success of and recommendations for each College. Nearly all Colleges received favorable evaluations and substantive recommendations from thise critical reviews. Lyle Borst exempted CFC from such a Faculty Senate evaluation-committee report by his alliance with Gelbaum. The success of CFC or the expediency of Dr. Borst is also exposed by the following. Daily business and checks on each College are carried on in the Collegiate Assembly, Director’s Office, Resources Committee, and Program Evaluation Committee and subcommittees. Based upon this elaborate governance with various options, CFC has been reviewed by its peers and assigned an average budget. This regardless of little committee participation, little contribution to College-wide residential /interest, and minimum student involvement. The number of registrants in CFC course's could have been little more than 100 for all of last year. What CFC is, beyond a dorm, wants for explanation. Student involvement, evaluation, and vote is not SO students, with 34 responding: “Congratulations, you are one of the carefully chosen student-members of CFC. This is your Master speaking. I recommend you to vote yes on the enclosed ballot.” The success of CFC is getting preferential treatment from the administration by conspiring with Gelbaum in the flaunting of power. sending Artie W. Harassment charged To the Editor. Jim McGo.urty, a member of the National Caucus of Labor Committees and an organizer for the National Unemployed and Welfare Rights Organization (NU-WRO) was arrested by FBI agents in Philadelphia on June 26 and charged with desertion from the Marines. Since the government is making little effort at the present time to prosecute alleged deserters, it is clear that McGourty is being framed for his political activities, not his alleged desertion from the Marines. McGourty’s arrest is one incident in a long chain of "dirty tricks” harassment of the NCLC and of NU-WRO that has been occurring for the past six - Page ten The Spectrum Monday, 10 September 1973 . .

Ian DeWaal’s assessment of the present Student Association administration, appearing in SUR VIVAL ’73, is grossly inaccurate. The actions of Student Association, over the summer and during these first days of school themselves severely discredit the statements made in the article.

High Court’s toughest hour by Max Lemer WASHINGTON When the Cox subpoena for the Nixon tapes reaches the U.S. Supreme Court the nine judges will have the toughest decision to make in their judicial careers. The Burger court has already had some big ones on abortion, capital punishment, pornography, the Pentagon Papers. But in one sense this tips the others: It carries with it a sharp constitutional crisis affecting the powers of the Presidency and the courts, and public confidence in x each. There is very little in past precedence to go by: There is a high stake in the future. It is another instance of a living Constitution, not a closed, dead one. It is as if the judges were modern-day Hamiltons and Madisons, writing a set of Federalist papers as commentaries on how the optimal republic should work. U.S. Dist. Judge Sirica, in his-closely reasoned decision, got the first crack at it. The Supreme Court will get the last. Idly conjecturing about American history I have a double dream of great Presidents and great judges of the past, and what each would think about the issue of the present. As we reckon presidential history most of the men we call great Presidents have been strong Presidents. I cannot imagine any of them getting involved in the moral mess Mr. Nixon is in. But am I wrong in guessing that from Washington and Jefferson through Jackson and Lincoln, to Wilson, both Roosevelts, Truman, Kennedy and Johnson, most of them would come down (in principle, at least) somewhere near Mr. Nixon’s constitutional position? I think not. They all tried to stretch presidential power to its constitutional limits and were jealous of their prerogatives. I also have a dream of great judges of the past. From John Marshall, through Hughes, Holmes, Brandeis and Stone, to Black, Jackson and Warren, I think most of them would come down pretty close to Judge Sirica’s position. Some would be tom about it. Holmes, for example, hated taps (the “dirty business”) and would hate the tapes, but he also believed unsentimentally in presidential power. Yet he would resolve his doubts considerably short of Mr. Nixon’s position. Men like Brandeis and Warren would never waver for a moment. From what we know of their past positions there are two calculable groups in the current court, each of three judges. Justices Douglas, Brennan and — — — Margaret Lynam National Caucus ofLabor Committees ill III I B copyright 1970, Coopers town. N.Y.

This is only in part a liberal-conservative split. (Note that Sirica is himself a conservative Republican.) NOr is rt basically a question of strong or weak theories about the Presidency; Roosevelt and Johnson, who appointed Douglas and Marshall, held views of the Presidency rougly like Mr. Nixon’s who appointed the second trio. It is rather a question of political attitudes toward the current crisis, and of total life views. The deciding votes will come from an intermediate trio of justices Eisenhower-chosen Stewart, Kennedy-chosen Whitt, Nixon-chosen Powell. Of these three I feel pretty confident that Stewart will (after whatever scruples) come down with the Douglas-Brennan-Marshall trio to make a fourth for Sirica. The hardest to gauge are Justices White and Powell. White is hard because he leaned more strongly than his Warren court colleagues toward a hard-line attitude on law enforcement. But such an attitude is a double-edge sword in this case. It may go with the idea of a tough presidential power, especially on national security grounds. But equally it may go with a tough enforcement of the law, as much against the President as anyone else. Justice Powell also offers a puzzle. His option in the Plamondon case was cited by John Erlichman’s lawyer, John Wilson, in his lively constitutional exchange with Sen. Sam Ervin, as a symbol of a reserve presidential power in national security matters which flows from his obligation to “preserve and protect the Constitution.” But Powell has also shown a detachment from Nixon positions, as befits a secure Virginia aristocrat aloof from the sweatings and strainings of the insecure White House group. Either of the two judges could go in either direction. But the anti-Nixon four (counting Stewart) would need only one of the two for a majority, while the pro-Nixon three will need both. There will probably be a gaggle of concurring and descending opinions among the nine, but the hairsbreadth difference between victory and defeat may lie with that difference between needing one and needing both.

(WE USE “There are thousands of students on the campus who could profit from the Center if they knew about it,” said Thomas Edwards, Director of the University’s Learning Center. Dr. Edwards feels the Learning Center has done an “inadequate job of publicizing the services it has to offer. The Lemming Center’s main purpose is “to provide basic skills any for University students students,” said Dr. Edwards. While the Center used to be only for disadvantaged students, they are now open on .a campus-wide basis with courses to aid reading, writing, oral communication, math and other skills. However, the Center's' purpose is “misperceived” because of its original form. “A lot of students don’t come because they think it’s just for Blacks and Puerto Rican students, said Dr. Edwards, “but we now handle a lot of ordinary students, with a fair amount of achievement, who could still PHOTO OFFSET EXCLUSIVELY FOR ONLY THE HIGHEST QUALITY RESULTS) improve.” graduates about to start college, for whom summer courses represent a transition period. Teaching teachers One of the most valuable functions of the Learning Center, in their training of grad students, is “to teach teachers how to teach reading,” said Dr. EdEdwgrds. He feels strongly that we need reading specialists in the school system', especially at the secondary school and college levels, where they are scare?. “The schools seem to emphasize how to read words, and students don’t develop the higher-level sophistication needed in college,” said Dr. Edwards. “A lot of college students don’t see reading as a thinking process, only mechanical. They can'i read a paragraph and get the gist or central idea. Their vocabulary is woefully inadequate. And they do literal reading, without interpretation they can’t read critically and draw — inferences,” he continued. < THE SAME PEDPLE WHO COMPOSE THE SPECTRUM NOW OFFER YOU THE SAME SPEED, EFFICIENCY.

Improvement prescriptions Disliking term “remedial” because it is perceived as a dirty word. Dr. Edwards said “remedial implies low, and we have advanced courses in reading and other areas. It’s for anyone who wants to improve.” The Learning Center Utilizes small classes of no more than IS, and highly individualized instruction. Using a method known as diagnostic teaching, “we can see what the problems are, and the instructors write prescriptions for students. The students can then go into the lab and work on their weaknesses,” explained Dr. Edwards. The Center services about 200 students of varied backgrounds. They also provide in-service training for graduate students, who get both income and supervised experience. “When grads try to get jobs and are told, ‘No experience, sorry, we can’t hire you’ well, they can get that experience here,” observed Dr, Edwards. For th? last two summers, the Center has also provided service for two kinds of Upward Bound students: high school students who want to take summer courses, and high school ..■He therefore places a large stake in training teachers to teach reading properly. “It’s the multiplier effect: If I can work with 10 teachers, each of whom can work with 30 kids, that’s 300 kids,” explained Dr. Edwards. The Center sends out brochures to entice grad students around the country to come and study at the Buffalo Center. Multiplied effect Understandably, the Center deals with many students who Dr. Edwards calls “underachievers.” He explains: “Some students come to college and don’t give a damn about school. They have a lack of clear-cut foals, and many are just not motivated; maybe they’re jUst here because of* parental-pressure. To compound all this, they sometimes have a lack of adequate learning skills and study habits.” It is here that the diagnostic skills of the Learning Center can help students through individual, help in each student’s specific area of weakness. Located on the Ridge Lea campus, the Learning Center is open to students “of all levels of achievement who want to improve.

By a thumping 66-22 percent, two .in every three agree that “if it had not been for the press’ exposes, the whole Watergate mess would never have been found out.” This margin has increased since July, when people felt that way by 56-18 percent. By a narrow 40 to 39 percent, a plurality also goes along with the statement that “if Watergate had not been exposed, the free press in the country would have been threatened with censorship next.” The division has not changed substantially over the summer months. These results add up to an ongoing and ever increasing public vote of confidence in the way the press and television have handled themselves in HARRIS POLL covering Watergate. Nonetheless, the feeling persists that Watergate coverage has passed the saturation point. f ''' •;■ "* ‘ ;‘ t f - August, 1973 July June May , April Oct., 1972 Mostly Serious 49% . 47 43 40 36 26 52 48 I Ii i 684 0700 684 0700 j HOLIDAY H K LI I AY 2 g STUDENT ASSEMBLY PETITIONS Norton 205 Student Assoc.

Instructor, Dr. Curtis Bennett. ai The typical elective is alt to often a watered down version of its sister course offered to majors. Learning options are frequently confined to term papers and/or examinations; instruction is typically via the lecture method. HED 254 provides a different and more flexible, student-centered approach Concerned essentially with the critical issues generated by the explosive growth of American Colleges and Universities and their complex interactions with the larger society, this course is an appropriate elective for DUS students at any point in their academic career. Moreover, it is equally as good an opportunity to apply and test the validity of one’s prior experiences and knowledge as it is a place to acquire new perspectives. Participants are encouraged to share in a non-threatening and non-competitive seminar setting values, attitudes, and experiences relevant to colleges and universities. The non-competitive environment is made possible through the introduction of individual learning agreements - designed via negotiation between each participant and the instructor subsequent to the third class meeting of the semester. This means that each individual may bring to the course his or her own onjectives and methods of study. Except for participation in the core experience (i.e., classroom discussions), eveything is negotiable. This includes work accomplished outside of class and the evaluation of that work. Since each learning agreement will differ, there will exist no valid basis for comparison with other individuals. The quality of one’s performance in class discussions will not enter into the evaluation leading to a grade. Evaluation will consist of 3—4 evaluative sessions and a wrap-up negotiating session at which time the instructor and student will attempt to arrive at consensus regarding the latter’s progress as measured againsi the terms of the prearranged learning agreement. Grading options include letter grades, pass-fail or SW (i.e., written evaluation). — If this description at all stimulates your curiosity, come to the first class meeting and find out whether the course might meet your interests: Tues. & Thurs., Room 2 Diefendorf, 1:30—2:50 p.m. or call: Dept, of Higher Education at 831-4806 BLACKEARTH PERCUSSION GROUP » i TONIGHT,SEPT 10/8pm- Baird Hall - JOIN THE UNIVERSITY CHORUS • •• .first rehearsals tonight 7 pm-capen 104, wed. 7pm, diefendorf 147 Monday, 10 September 1973 The Spectrum Page thirti . .

Sirica that President Nixon turn over Watergate-related tape recordings for the judge’s inspection. Cox prepared to file a motion in the U.S. Court of Appeals in the latest of the long and tangled attempts of the Senate Watergate Committee and the special prosecutor to obtain the secret tapes. Cox presumably wants more assurance that the Watergate grand jury gets a chance to hear the tapes. The White House filed a petition last Thursday with the Court of Appeals for a writ of mandamus declaring that Sirica was “clearly erroneous” in his order of last week. Sirica said he personally would listen to the tapes to determine if any should be turned over to the grand jury as Cox wishes. The Court of Appeals, seeking to expedite matters to that the case will be ready for the Supreme Court when it reconvenes Oct. 1, set a hearing for tomorrow. It also agreed to Nixon’s request to hear the case “en banc” that is, that all nine circuit judges hear the case, instead of a usual panel of three judges. - - Wait until dark, please WASHINGTON (UPI) Apparently acting on a tip relayed from a White House source, security officers at the State Dept.

Oregon became the first state to remove criminal penalties for private possession and use of marijuana last week as Governor Tom McHall signed into law legislation reclassifying possession of up to one ounce of grass as a “violation” with a maximum penalty of $100 fine. Effective October 5, the offender also receives no criminal record. The new Oregon law represents a significant shift in public policy, according to Keith Stroup, Director of the National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws (NORML). “The President’s Commission on Marijuana and Drug Abuse reports that under existing state laws approximately 93% of the marijuana-related arrests are for possession, with only 7% for selling. Law enforcement resources in Oregon can now be focused on the commercial trafficker, instead of the user.” Scarring penalties As other states follow Oregon’s lead, Mr. Stroup said, “we will see a dramatic reduction in the number of young people whose lives are irreparably scarred by a criminal conviction for simply smoking marijuana.” Texas, whose marijuana penalties were the harshest in the country, recently reduced private possession to a low misdemeanor carrying 0—6 month jail term and/or a $1000 fine for up to 2 ounces of grass. The law will free or reduce the sentences of many of the 700 persons presently serving an average sentence of 9Vi years in Texas prisons for possession of marijuana. In the U.S. Congress, Senators Jacob Javits (R., N.Y.) and Harold Hughes (D., Iowa) have re-introduced a bill to remove criminal penalties from federal law for private possession and use of marijuana. According to figures released by the Marijuana £ wm —WNV Graphic! Collective State's new drug law Stiff penalties effective Sept. 1 by Ron Sandberg Managing Editor New York State will be the recipient of the nation’s toughest drug law come September 1 when Governor Rockefeller’s program to provide stiff penalties for drug traffickers takes effect. Passed after months of debate and controversy, the law calls for mandatory tife-term penalties with a system of lifetime supervised parole for possession and sale of certain “major” narcotics, such as heroin, cocaine, opium and morphine regardless of the quantity. Additionally, the law severely restricts plea bargaining which in the past permitted a defendant to plead guilty to a lesser charge, often in return for supplying information on major narcotics distributors. The limitations on plea bargaining, critic* assert, would not only insulate big-time drug figures, but would add thousands of trials to already overburdened courts. It is expected that enforcement of the new law will require at least 110 new court parts with each part containing judges, assistant district attorneys. Legal Aid lawyers, clerks, stenographers, translators, custodians and courtroom space. Commission, over 26 million Americans have smoked grass. This represents 16% of the adult population and two-thirds of all college students. More than 200,000 people were arrested for marijuana possession last year.

Specifically, members of the Collegiate Assembly have charged the Academic Affairs vice president with violating the by jaws of the Faculty-Senate by acting without its approval. the The by-laws state: voting faculty, 4 through the medium of the Senate, has initiating or confirming authority with respect to matters relating to the jurisdiction of all academic [and] confirming units authority with respect to major reorganizations of existing faculties, schools, colleges, divisions, departments and other academic units.

This is a simple realignment of a reporting relationship, making Clifford Furnas solely responsible to the dean of Undergraduate Studies.” Dr. Gelbaum also disputed the contentions of Keith Klopp, acting administrative officer of the Collegiate System, that he had circumvented the procedures outlined in the Collegiate Prospectus. The Prospectus, adopted by the Faculty-Senate two years ago, states; “The Assembly of the Collegiate System will be the policy-making body for the Collegiate System." The decision to allow Clifford Furnas College D to leave the Collegiate Assembly was made pursuant to a long-standing request from Lyle Borst, master of Clifford Furnas College. After “almost one year” of study. Dr. Gelbaum became “firmly convinced” that the relationship between the Collegiate Assembly and Clifford Furnas College was “not a desirous one.” Extensive consultations “1 had extensive consultations with Dr. Borst and former Collegiate Director Wayland Smith (who opposed the final decision),” Dr. Gelbaum maintained. He also consulted with President Robert Ketter and Vice President Albert Somit and said both had “concurred” with his decision. Additionally, Dr. Gelbaum said that students of Clifford Furnas College were overwhelmingly in favor of leaving the Collegiate Assembly. He cited as evidence a recent “mail ballot” conducted by Dr. Borst, sent to the SS returning resident students of Clifford Furnas. Thirty-three voted in favor of withdrawal from the Assembly; two were opposed and 20 failed to return the ballots. However, the poll’s validity was seriously questioned by Assembly officials when they learned “a covering letter" from Dr. Borst was sent with the ballots, asking students to endorse the departure from the Assembly. The officials also considered the vote “inconclusive” because only 35 votes were cast out of a total residential population of 140 (55 returning residents and 85 new residents). Additionally, they said non-resident students enrolled in Clifford Furnas College were excluded from the vote.

At least if he were given a chance before having a mandatory life sentence laid on him, he would be able to come to some important conclusions about his life.” Proponents of the law contend that sympathy for the addict is not the answer, especially when his actions “can injure and permanently maim” others.

Now there is a new chapter in the saga that includes Folsom, Attica, the Tombs, Rahway, and a great many more. The situation at McAlester was hardly unique Built in 1907, the prison was designed to accommodate a maximum of 1500 inmates, yet officials admit that only a few months ago there were almost 2300 men housed in Oklahoma State Prison. The total was in the process of being reduced when the prisoners resorted to viplence, yielding the death of three inmates at last count The oppressive 100degree heat within the nonair-conditioned facility and the lack of living space are said to have been factors in the outbreak. Like every other state legislature in the country, the Oklahoma law makers are tight-fisted when it comes to running their penal system. Caught in the recent spurt of reform, however, they voted a 100% increase in prison funds, though acknowledging that the outlay is by no means sufficient. New York State Special Commission on Attica quotes a headline appearing in The New York Times in 1931: “Attica Prison to be Convict’s Paradise. The article called attention to a new enlightened attitude on the part of penologists. A cafeteria with food under glass, recreation rooms, the provision of every prisoner with his own room, and adequate ventilation and sunlight heralded the new prison concept. ” News Analysis attorney, and Arthur Kinoy, a defense consultant from New York City. Yet to presiding Supreme Court Justice Carman F. Ball, the case is not even a cut above the ordinary. “As far as I’m concerned, now these are individuals who have been charged with crimes. We’re not trying what caused the uprising or the background of it, ” ‘Armed camp' The setting for the Attica case in State Supreme Court in the old County Courthouse has been anything but Human rights struggle “While the animals took over the zoo,” in the words of the press assistant to Oklahoma Governor David Hall, an American Civil Liberties Union attorney was attempting to enter the prison at the request of the inmates. The ACLU, which has a court case pendirtg against the Oklahoma prison system for its decrepit conditions, claims the Governor had reneged on a promise to the prisoners that a lawyer would be present when he met with a committee of inmates on A paradise? Attica Prison was to be a showcase for the New York State Prison System. Ironically enough, it was built as an answer to the wave of prison riots in the 1920’s, allegedly caused by “inhuman pen~! conditions.” The Official Report of the security measures have, said Mr. Jelinek, “turned the court into an armed camp.” A metal screen was. erected just beyond the courtroom door, where all legal staff and observers must submit to frisks by sheriff’s deputies. The tension was especially thick some weeks ago as a scuffle ensued inside the courtroom resulting in four arrests. While emotions were rising. Judge Ball adjourned the session and left his jurisdiction before the incident occurred. Law enforcement officers and defendants glared steadily at each other during many subsequent hearings. With trial proceedings against the Attica defendants about to begin in earnest, a question rooted in the minds of the defense staff and defendants is whether or not the Wyoming County Grand Jury will see fit to indict correction officers accused by inmates of violent harrassment after the retaking of the prison. The State Commission in its report recognized that prisoners bore the brunt of vindictive unlawful acts committed by correction officers during the search and relocation process. Judge Ball claims that the Attica defendants will be treated justly before the law. The defendants and their counsel are anxiously waiting. ordinary. Intensive Sunday The facts at McAlester clearly relate, to the Attica tragedy of two years ago this September. The Oklahoma affair seems minor, of course, when compared to Attica, where 43 men died in the four-day rebellion. Attica appears to have become a symbol for many prisoners of their effort to exercise basic human rights while under confinement. The obvious similiarities between McAlester, Oklahoma and Attica, N.Y. should not be startling. The pre-trial proceedings concerning crimes allegedly committed during the Attica insurrection have been continuing intermittently for over a month now in New YOrk State Supreme Court in Buffalo. The defense has been hampered by time constraints, the difficulty of meeting with clients, many of whom are constantly transferred from one state prison to another, a lack of funds, geographic limitations posed for out-of-state defense lawyers, the crucial issue of access to important evidence thus far monopolized by the prosecution, and alleged bugging and/or ransacking of the offices of: Donald L. Jelinek, the defense coordinator for the Attica Brothers, Gerald Lefcourt. a prominent leftist Notes the McKay Commission: “When Attica opened there was no cafeteria with food under glass, no recreation room, no automatic signal system, and no sunlight streaming into the cells. There was, in fact, nothing but another huge, foreboding prison.” Attica was only another maximum-security facility emphasizing discipline, boredom, and deprivation. � ■* * Friday, 3 August 1973 .

Kid s play* Day camp offersfun and jobs A group of two hundred youngsters congregated on a large field at Bennett Beach Park in Angola, New York last Tuesday to engage in the frivolous art of having fun. Surrounded by a number of overgrown kids, otherwise known as counselors, the youths engaged in numerous activities ranging from massive tug-of-war matches to flowing games of “water worm.” Yet whether they knew it or not, both the youngsters and counselors were taking part in the City of Buffalo’s first official day camp. Initiate; under the auspices of Mayor Stanley Makowski’s Summer Youth, Program, the camp has become the most recent attempt by the city to break the monotony of Buffalo summers for local youth. ‘This being the first day camp the city has ever run has made it a new experience for us all,” said William Buyers, head of the Summer Youth Program. “It has been a good experience though, and I’m glad the city got involved in it. It has given us the satisfaction of knowing that those children who usually don’t get the chance to get out of the city will be able to derive some enjoyment from the day camp.” -Judith Crist, N»w York MogoiiM of how the community can benefit from the efforts of University students. Concerning the camp itself, Mr. Saleh expressed satisfaction concerning the response from the community. He claimed the turnout of local youth for the program has been well above expectations considering that the camp has had little publicity and was set up in less than two weeks. ” Good Turnout “One of our initial concerns,” Mr. Saleh said, “was a fear that little interest would be generated in a program that was less than two weeks old, and at one point I was praying for a 20% turnout for the first day of camp. Instead we have been running a 50 to 80% turnout, which is above my most generous expectations.” “The main things we’re concerned about with this camp is that the campers have a good time,” said assistant direct Peggy Span. “We bus them out here from all over the city, and the campers really enjoy getting away. ‘‘When the kids are having a good time the camp doesn’t even seem like work. In fact some of the counselors who get involved in camp activities seem to enjoy them as much as any of the campers.” “Unique cooperation’ Initiated by the efforts of Norman Bakos, director of the Advisory Board for Lovejoy Youth, Sale tale The camp is located on a targe stretch of land the day camp had become what Mr. Bakos termed “a encompasses all of Bennett Beach Park.

The virtual elimination of plea bargaining will frustrate police in their attempts to recruit informers. Category after category of "mandatory life" sentences, while politically attractive, remove any discretion on the part of judges. Two comparisons tell the story: the same "mandatory life" penalty for selling a pound or more of a major narcotic as for possessing two ounces of it; the same penalty for possessing 1 /8 ounce of heroin and one ounce of grass. This shocking incongruity fails to separate the user, usually an addict, from the pusher, the commercial trafficker who gathers in the profits. This treatment of the addict as a cnminal is absolutely deplorable. Perhaps the public will mistakenly perceive the new law as "getting tough" on drugs, but the actual result will be thousands of cases deluging the courts in persecution of small-time users, thousands of ruined lives, while the big dealers remain as invulnerable as ever. More invulnerable, in fact, since w users can no longer name their contacts in exchange for pleading guilty to a lesser charge. It is a clear distortion of reality to say that since addicts have not utilized state rehabilitation programsfthey must not want help. The state's rehabilitation programs are underfunded and overcrowded, yet still help thousands. The Governor's "throw'em in jail" approach is proof that he pays only tip service to rehabilitation, especially when you consider the jails he is throwing them in. But politicians do interesting things when their eyes are on re-election next year as well as 1976. Mr. Rockefeller obviously cares more about a "law-and order" reputation of being "tough on drugs" than about the welfare of the people of his state. From the man who brought you the Attica massacre, a fitting-anniversary when this reactionary law takes effect September 1.

Glen; The ‘Dead’ died and the Allman Bros. did their all by Barry Goodman and Gary Cohn If we wanted a concert, we would have gone to Madison Square Garden or Kleinhan’s Music Hall. But, like most of the 600,000 other people, we came to participate, not to listen. “You guys goin’ to the Glen?” asked the gas station attendant on the Thruway. “If you hurry,” he said, “you can catch the two pieces of ass in the red Triumph.” Off we sped! They stood on their porches, watching and waving as the processional of cars inched along Route 14 on the way to Watkins Glen. The residents of the town surrounding the concert site were magnificent in their unofficial role as hosts for the biggest party in the history of the U.S. Like so many others, we took the bumper-to-bumper traffic as a signal to begin the party. Wine bottles Were passed from car to car and hitch-hikers found instant homes. A couple of hours and a couple of bottles later, we arrived, greeted by a hoarse voice shouting, “Beer for dope ... Who wants to trade beer for dope?” Watkins Glen irregulars After a restful night of sleep in the world’s biggest outdoor dormitory, we awoke to the sound of marching footsteps. Quickly, we gathered our gear and fell into line with the Watkins Glen irregulars. The scene resembled a picture of Washington leading his troops to Valley Forge. We were fused into one massive bunch of rags, flags, flutes and dirt. But unlike other armies, we were a peaceful brigade, our mission solely to enjoy ourselves. —Smith that a city had sprung up was enhanced. In fact, the concert site did contain many of the services found in cities: a mobile hospital; the sheriff and his boys; a host of vendors. The merchants of our newly-formed city were not to be outdone. Set-up in trucks, tents, and even crude wagons, the merchandise ranged from drugs to drugs. Not quite, but almost. There were the usual hustling types. The kind th4t flash you the peace sign, call you brother and then tell you $.75 for a can of beer and $.40 for a coke. Brother, my ass. Peanuts, popcorn, mescaline The door-to-door salesmen had also come out in force. They fared much better than their Fuller-Brush counterparts of an earlier day. But then again, they weren’t exactly selling toothbrushes. One kid, obviously Madison Avenue material, had it down pat. “Mescaline 1 for 2, 3 for 5, 6 for 10. Any takers?” he yelled to potential customers. For more than one hour, we Nureyeved and Fonteyned our way through tents, blankets and people. Occasionally,.a patch of grass could be seen.

Friday morning, ground, next to high it was a concession stand (No.S) and the throng was dense and wet. The roads overflowed with humanity, and, as I strolled through the mob, my ears were accosted by the plaintive cry of a hundred street “organic hawkers mescaleene,” “get your organic mesc right here!” “THC“acid.” “who’s got downs?” “I do, who wants?” “Anybody got any mesc?” “Yeah, right here.” By Friday 200,000 people had come and by Saturday the food supplies were depleted in the campsites leaving $8 watermelons, and $.75 snow cones, and other equally filling foods at rip-off prices down around the concert area. People ran out of food as early as Thursday and Friday, either due to lack of planning or from giving it all to their hungry .... neighbors. By Sunday morn -the crew in our bus had just about nothing left, eating it all the night before until about 3:30 in the morning. Tony and Bonnie staggered awake about 6:30 Sunday morn and decided to “liberate” our empty and useless concession stand to: feed some of the hungry folks running about by starting a free kitchen, asking people leaving in cars already for contributions, and getting some more people to work in it. Soon a tight, efficient co-op had begun. Bonnie, Pat, and Nancy, from our bus, and Merlin, the cat with the joints that kept everyone going, gathered food in plastic garbage bags.

With me was Bill Burback, then the assistant curator of the Gallery, (he has since taken a position at the Museum of Modern Art in New York City). Inside the vault, maintenance personnel were moving out a painting that I had requested to see: “Summer House” by Michael Goldberg. An admirer of Goldberg’s work, I had found out through researching the Gallery’s acquisition reports that this painting was in storage here. It had not been out on the Gallery'walls for at least two years. Mr. Burback, a great guy, had been exceptionally helpful to me in graciously fulfilling my request to view a long list of paintings that had not been shown in public for years. The maintenance personnel maneuvered the large piece out of the vault and leaned it against a wall. On first sight of “Summer House” many emotions hit the assistant curator and I at once, but after initial eye—widenings and gapings, Mr. Burback spoke first. “Wow, what a sense of space,” (pictorial space) he said, simultaneously serious and excited. With a few agreeing nods, and a few more appreciative comments, we stood looking at the painting for about fifteen minutes. - plus the Goldberg due to burial-like storage not knowing about by Jeffrey Wedulcr Spectrum Arts Editor Unsung, unhung I suddenly said, “Why isn’t that paintine up on a wall?” Mr. Burback answered sympathetically .and with slight embarrassment (he had no authority as to what was hung in the Gallery), “I don’t know.” After a moment of knowing silence, we both alternately pointed out a couple of paintings that we thought could better take up room in the vault to allow the Goldberg a wall space. Mr. Burback admitted that • before I brought “Summer House” to his attention he did not even know it was in the collection. But indeed, he did know that it could not have been displayed in a long while as it was wedged against the vault wall under seven other paintings, rendering it well-nigh inextricable previous to that day’s concerted effort. When “Summer House” was returned to the vault, Mr. Burback had it placed in an easily accessible position. Therefore, when the “American Painting and Sculpture since 1960” show, from the permanent collection, forced the Gallery to move much of its downstairs work upstairs, and ‘filler’ was needed downstairs, the Goldberg was inescapably obvious and the curator grabbed the now readily movable work and hung it. Considering that the painting was too inaccessible before to even be included in the Gallery’s “Abstract-Expressionism: First and Second Generation’’ show, I submitted to a feeling of public service and personal satisfaction, for which I must primarily give the credit to Mr. Burback. This little story was related to illustrate a policy which I think amounts to both a disgrace and an irresponsibility in the Albright-Knox Art Gallery: infrequent, inadequate and/or unjustified rotation of the permanent collection to the point of virtual loss of certain works to civilization, often regardless of quality. That additional item, quality, is especially infuriating when one views the inordinate' amount of rubbish which is often given lengthy presentation. As I write this, 1 am poring over long lists of artworks that are probably unknown to most gallery-goers in Buffalo, even, avid art enthusiasts. (Consider Mr. Burback’s situation, an assistant curator — and poor rotation.) Let me pick a few individual examples first, and later proceed to lists. Did you know the Gallery owns four works by Marc Chagall? “Russian Village” is the one usually up and it is a fine one, but ‘The Flying Fish” from 1948, a good painting too, emerged for the first time, in effect by force, for the “Continental Painting and Sculpture since 1945” show last year, and then immediately disappeared again into the vault. Chagall’s “Woman and Haystack” was out for a month or two, startled a number of visitors by its presence, and sunk out of sight again, The small oil “Acrobat” has, as far as I know, not been shown in three years. Did you know the Gallery owns two paintings by Raoul Dufy? I have never seen either one exhibited. Nor have I ever seen the Gallery’s small oil by George Grosz. WeM-known American painters whose reputations were made between 1850 and 1920 with pieces in the Gallery’s ownership include Thomas Moran, Alexander Wyant, William Glackens, and Maurice Prendergast. 1 have never seen any of these works exhibited. American realism from the I940’s is pretty well represented in the collection with works by John Atherton, Virginia Cuthbert, Philip Elliott, Julian Levi, Reginald Marsh, Abrahanm Rattner, Zoltan Sepeshy, Walter Steumpfig, Franklin Watkins, and Karl Zerbe. None of these have been out for years now. (And I’m sorry for a list so soon.) Getting back to individual paintings, I would guess that few people know the Gallery owns a second painting by Abstract-Expressionist Adolph Gottlieb. “Dialogue” is the perennial display piece, but “Frozen Sounds II” is a very good earlier work which was even used as an illustration in Sam Hunter’s recent book “American Art of the 20th Century.” A large painting by Norman Bluhtn, a major second-generation Action Painter, was obtained by the Albright-Knox through a gift no later than 1965. 1 have been told by Gallery personnel that this painting was received unstretched, and, after eight years, that painting has still not been stretched for display. Incredibly, it is still rolled up and slashed somewhere in the storage area. Present and unaccounted for That painting by Norman Bluhm might just as well not exist, for there seems to be no intention on the part of the Albright-Knox staff to even properly prepare the work for public view. Why was the painting accepted in the first place, if it was to be ignored after receipt? This is an insult to the donor, as well as the artist. An argument may be raised that the Albright-Knox is simply not large enough to show everything at once. This is, of course, trite. Essentially, the real questions are; How often will works be shown and for how long?. Then there’s the idea that works of proven quality should remain, barring Then there’s idea that works of proven quality should remain, barring exceptional circumstances, constantly on view. Recent removal of most of the Gallery’s major Abstract-Expressionist paintings for the Marine-Midland show demonstrates no adherence to that principle. Also, so many inferior works clutter the lower downstairs gallery walls that one has difficulty discerning any rationally-based quality standard for hanging. Two of those pitiful Argentinian works I mentioned two weeks ago, including a Spirographer, are up now. It’s not that I object to these works ever being hung, but that they are up in Page eight. The Spectrum Friday, 3 August 1973 . — place of such painters as Morris Graves, Jimmy Ernst, Paul Nash, and Norman Bluhm. Painters like the last four mentioned usually never get out of the vault except for last year’s “from the collection” 10th anniversary shows. But three of the proceeding artists didn’t make it out anyhow. And Graves was included in one show as an Abstract-Expressionist, which he is not. Names uncovered Now, the lists. In addition to those already mentioned, and taken in categories, the following are selected artists from the bulging ranks of those individuals whose work has been seen, going back at least three years, only through the “from the collection” shows (about 85%) or have remained out for about a month or so exclusive of such shows (15%). Also, some of the names to be mentioned have never been seen hanging in at least three years. 1) American (and 3 Canadian) Abstract-Expressionist or -imagist painters, first and second generation, and related movements: Norman Biuhm, Paul-Emile Borduas, Joan Brown, Lawrence Calcagno, Giorgio Cavallon, Edward Corbett, Graham Coughtry, Edward Dugmore, Lee Gatch, Michael Goldberg, Robert Goodnough, John .wen Hultberg, Paul Jenkins, lean Ethel Schwabacher, Hassel Smith, Sasson Softer, Hedda Sterne, Albert Urban, Gene Vass, and Richard Wray. 2) American sculptors, same category as above: Edward Higgins, Richard Hunt, Lyman Kipp (early work), Harry Kramer, Ibram Lassaw, Robert Mallary, Bernard Rosenthal, James Wines. 3) British painters and sculptors, works after 1930: Robert Adams, Sandra Blow, Hubert Dalwood, William Gear, Patrick Heron, Sydney Ivon Hitchens, Gwyther Irwin, Peter Lanyon, Bernard Meadows, Peter Phillips, and Leslie Thornton. 4) Continental European painters and sculptors: Afro Basaldella, Willi Baumeister, Renato Birolli, Bram Bogart, Andrea Cascella, Antonio Corpora, Olivier Debre, Luis Feito, Phillippe Hosiasson, Rudolf Hoflehner, Robert Jacobsen, Zoltan Kemeny, Gerard Letaster, Richard Mortensen, Antoine Mortier, Ernst Wilhelm Nay, Guiseppe Santomaso, Gerard Schneider, Emil Schumacher, Heinz Trokes, Fritz Winter. I considered further commentary (and listing) but decided against it. These lists and earlier entries, compiled from many past catalogues by the Buffalo Fine Arts Academy, speak for themselves. My only additional remark is: Read ’em and weep. �by lay Boyar Asst. Arts Editor are only incidental, they are annoying. That they were not cut confirms the basic obviousness of the attempt. Why talk about The Sunshine Boys a current Broadway play by Neil Simon? In fact, since New York is hundreds of miles away, why talk about anything on Broadway? If the trend toward Simon’s plays continues (and there is no reason to suppose it will cease), then chances are that the play will eventually be adapted into a movie th$t everyone with $2.50 can see. Indeed, the ending of The Sunshine Boys is so appropirate, in terms of situation possibilities, that it is even a good bet that the story might be Simqnized into a television series a’ la The Odd Couple. So, even if the Big Apple isn’t on your immediate itinerary, just sit tight... Neil Simon has never been a great writer. He is cotton candy and ferris wheels. He’s a comical-commercial hall of distored mirrors. More than anything else, he’s baggy pants, snappy lines, pies in faces and double takes. He is burlesque. Shticky, slick, and frenzied verbal pratfalls compose the best parts of his previous work. In watching, say Plaza Suite, the big laughs are refurbished formula gags where a wilting wife reacts to her smouldering hubby. The Odd Couple draws much of its impact from the Abbott and Costello, Laurel and Hardy, Martin and Lewis antics of Oscar and Felix. Tossing linguini against the wall with an off-stage CCCCCRRRRRAAAAAASSSSSHHHHH is only slightly subtle slapstick. To decline poise Sure, burlesque is obvious and maybe this sort of thing can work in a vaudevillian context. And sure, The Sunshine Boys is pseudo-burlesque, but it does not work here. Why? Hmmm In the play’s plot, Lewis and Clark never do get on that CBS-TV special because they quarrel too much in rehearsal. Instead, the network substitutes an old tape of them doing their act. Maybe we should have had the good fortune for this to happen with the play itself. That is, maybe personal problems should have made its production impossible so that films of old comic routines might have been shown. And this is not written to be clever or cruel. , ... himself worked in burlesque. Type-casting, right? Wrong Albertson is loveable, endearing and entirely sympathetic while Willie (his character) is cantankerous, irritable and slightly inscrutable. Nothing is wrong with casting against type if the actor can make it work. Albertson can not make it work. His temper tantrums, while deliberately “showy,” are foolishly gratuitous. They appear to be simply glued on to the character portrayal like .a false mustache. - The unshine boys The role and the play emerge as simply washed out, tired. In equating age with weariness, Albertson and his director, Alan Arkin (both of whom should know better), are sadly mistaken. Spunk, men more spunk! A1 Lewis, Willie’s partner, is played by salty Sam - ‘The Sunshine Boys’ by Simon is burlesque one dimensionally - Anachronisticomics Keeping all this in mind, it is no wonder that Simon has finally written a play about what he has always been: a burlesque comic. Or, more accurately, The Sunshine Boys is about burlesque comics who have outlived burlesque. Its story goes that A1 Lewis and Willie Clark were a team of vaudevillian funny men known years back as “Lewis and Clark, the Sunshine Boys.” and folks, they were great. A million belly laughs. They had the humor of their routines honed to a precise'science. Everything was figured right down to the size of the breasts on the blonde nurse in their “doctor sketch” and everything was figured for comedy. One day, after nearly forty years of yukking it up, Willie and A1 parted on unfriendly terms. Now, as the play opens almost twenty years later, they meet to recreate their act t»n a high-paying CBS special commemorating the charm and humor of vaudeville. — — The one-line boys In writing The Sunshine Boys Simon goes far in developing a burlesque motif. Not only are the topic and gags burlesque, not only does he insert part of Lewis and Clark’s routine itself into the script, but even the very structure of the play is like an extended gag sketch. Rarely are there more than two people on stage at a time. Characters remain only long enough to do their “bit” with another player, and then leave as a third character enters and does his bit with the remaining actor. And so it goes. This is clever and when you’re writing popcorn and cotton candy, such slickness is a great asset. Had the paralleling of burlesque and the play been accidental, it would have made Simon look like a fool. However, it is so clearly and consistently designed that there is no doubt of what the playwright had in mind. It is unfortunate that after expending meticulous energy to design the parallel, Simon insults his audience’s intelligence in finding it necessary to point it out in no uncertain terms. Lines like, “Willie, your life is just gags in a sketch,” leave no room for doubt. While these remarks IMMEDIATE FS fern (anybody on any size motorcycle) UPSTATE CYCLE INS. 4171 Delaware MW — Tenewen4e YmiOIM IlStMWr •*4-1100 UNBELIEVABLE 1 SALE I* ROLL-BACK PRICES DISHES CHOICE OF &8 In viewing such old tapes,, we must excuse the effort that must be made in placing them in chronological perspective by substituting nostalgia for immediacy. Then, if the routines are funny, it is fine. A tape of Laurel and Hardy, for instance, is not compared with today’s comedy as much as it is judged for what it is an hilarious routine from the past. — Nostalgianova Still, Simon does not (and can not) try to literally re-create burlesque. What he does is to attempt to mold something new imbued with a love for something old. In so doing, he adds one more device: a love-hate relationship of interdependence between two men. This worked well for him in The Odd Couple so he tries it again, Sam. Cast as Willie (who does more than his share of love-hating) is Jack Albertson. At one time.

Stadlen, as Willie’s nephew, also does a nice, but uneven job. The Sunshine Boys seems to be an ideal play for Simon to have'written.

We have never had a President who admitted he obstructed justice. We have never had a President who tried to steal a national election.” The first of the Watergate books is out. An amazing facet of our techno-society is that a book can be released in July 1973 in that deals paperback, ncf less with events up to June 1973. One can almost picture author Leonard Lurie thinking, “maybe if I wait two more weeks ... ?” Yet Lprie’s book is not simply a rehash of New York Times, Washington Post and Newsweek articles. Instead, he places the issue of impeachment in a proper historical perspective and places Mr. Nixon’s Presidential conduct in the perspective of his political career. The result is illuminating. Appropriately, Lurie begins with the Founding Fathers and their important inclusion of an impeachment clause in the Constitution. This was no casual decision; “They envisioned the day when some President would ’high crimes and be guilty of misdemeanors’ and they meant to provide for a way to remove that individual from office.” Lurie constructs a convincing argument that while Americans have come to regard Presidents as elected monarchs who are above criticism, this was the opposite of the Founding Fathers’ intent: “The very fact that a man who would be President is forced to expose himself to the people before he can enter that office, and must do so again in four years if he wishes to remain, is a mark of the mistrust the Founding Fathers placed in human nature.” As George Mason of Virginia said in the 1787 debate over the impeachment clause; “Shall any man be above. Justice? Above all dial! that man be above it who can commit the most extensive injustice?” Having traced the historical foundation of impeachment, Lurie recounts all the ‘past instances of impeached officials, including the politicallymotivated trial of Andrew Johnson by a Senate which “contained a high quota of moral a pit in which no defectives common murderer would expect to be judged.” From here, the Nixon scholar spends several chapters describing Richard Nixon’s political career, convincingly pointing to several instances where his behavior should have led to impeachment. He demonstrates how Mr. Nixon’s Presidential misconduct is entirely consistent with his earlier tactics. Mr. Nixon’s first campaign against Jerry Voorhis was “marked by vilification, obfuscation, smears and lying.” Accusing Voorhis of voting “the Moscow line” in Congress, Nixon always attacked, never giving his opponent a chance to strike back, and spoke “only in generalities when it came to program.” He urged “true Democrats” not to spend their vote on this Communist. The red-baiting Alger Hiss trials and the nickname “Tricky Dick” led to his campaign against Helen Gahagan Douglas, whom he labelled “The Pink Lady” and Stalin’s bedmate. Also distributing a sheet “As one Democrat to Another,” his victory led to his 1 95 2 v i c e p r esid en t ial nomination. During the campaign, the headlines SECRET NIXON FUND revealed an SI8,000 kitty for personal use solicited from 76 - — ... would be destroyed if Nixon was ■ .

The emphasis how badly he needed the money, an excuse most felons in prison would rind reasonable.” Lost in Eisenhower's “forgiveness” was that the fund was an impeachable offsnse. Describing Vice Presidnct Nixon as Eisenhower’s hatchet map. Lurie notes he contributed nothing but discord: “Despite four years in the House and two in the Senate, there was not a single piece of legislation that bore his name.” Many scandals later, in the 19 62 California Governor campaign, Nixon and H.R. Haldeman used $70,000 to create a Republican cover organization called Committee for the Preservation of the Democratic Party, which ran a "postcard poll” proving Democrats felt the California Democratic party for Nixon and the falsification of telegrams favorable to the Haiphong Christmas bombings A Superior Court judge found the tactic illegal, that Nixon had conspired to defraud voters and obstruct an honest election. He was fined “a wrist- slapping $100” "largely because he had lost and was thought politically dead. Lurie’s account of Nixon politics, fascinating in itself, underscores that the Watergate-type tactics were born decades earlier. He traces the 1972 campaign zeal to Nixon’s close call in the 1968 election, and to a May 1971 Harris Poll showing Muskie leading Nixon 47-39%.

After an initial period of forced enthusiasm, the crowd remained still as the Dead droned on. Judging by the reactions of the Glengoers, the Dead were going downhill. Even “Truckin,” probably the best known Dead time, failed to work. While Fillmore East mentor Bill Graham made a number of medical announcements, the stage crew set things up for The Band. “Don’t take the pills being passed around as THC,“ warned Graham. “They’ve been analyzed as horse tranquilizers.” That set off a range of remarks from the crowd (“that’s how they named Buffalo Downs”) and a startled neighing from a few dazed individuals. It Ain’t Me. Babe’ While we were waiting, the traditional “Dylan is here" rumors began to fly. Once again, we were disappointed. The Band came out playing “The Shape I’m In.” For more than an hour, lead guitarist Jaime Robbie Robertson led The Band through their old favorites, including “The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down,” “Stage Fright,” Dylan’s “I Shall Be Released,” “Up on Cripple Creek” and “The Weight.” When the rains came, Robinson continued to play, but he finally succumbed to warnings from the stage crew to get off the stage and cover up the equipment to avoid electrocution. For the next few hours, the rain and The Band took turns. The Band’s performance was just a bit below the Rock of Ages standard, but considering the circumstances, they were more than adequate. Filet mignon After the Band finished, we dug in and waited for what would be the “filet mignon” on the rock ‘n’ roll menu The Allman Brothers Band. For a rain-soaked, mud-drenched hour-and-a-half we waited Tor the Brothers to set up. During the delay, thousands covered themselves with plastic wrap, and we soon resembled a city being attacked by a huge baggie. After an hour, the crowd became fidgety, shouting to the stage crew to hurry up. Anticipation mounted. Every time someone approached the mike. , - HEY! Psst. Come here continent.

Finally, about 10 p.m., a big roar went up as the crowd, recognizing the lean, blond-haired figure of Gregg Allman, knew the time had come. Gregg went to the mike and thanked the people for waiting. Bill Graham introduced the Brothers, including two new members, pianist Chuck Leave) and bass guitarist Lamarr Williams (who replaces the late Chuck Oakley.) They opened with a song frpm the Go, Dickie, go It was good but not great. The brilliance of the Allman Brothers Band is such that you must listen to their songs many times to appreciate its subtleties. In a sense, their full sound makes them a rock orchestra. The steady rhythm of the two drummers and bassist state the basic lines while allowing the organ, the piano and Dicky Betts’ phenomenal guitar to take off on brilliant solos. Dicky Betts deserves special praise. If there was one star of the day, it had to be Betts. The crowd roared with each guitar solo. Often during to solos the guitar seemed to jump, appearing as if Dicky could no longer contain the strength of the music within his body alone. The true artistry of the Allman Brothers is thay they can play with such power and still maintain a delicate balance and weaving of all the instruments necessary for a cohesive sound. Far too many bands are content to just play all over each other. The key to the Allman Brothers is that they listen to each other, wishing to be a unit, not six musicians. ' invigorating experience The next three hours were magnificent, both musically and visually. The Allman Brothers saved nothing. We heard “Ain’t One Way Out,” “You Don’t Love Me,” “Elizabeth Reed,” “Midnight Rider” and countless others. It was an invigorating experience. Ironically, the crowd had appeared lifeless a mere few hours before. But with each song, they became more and more ecstatic, dancing to the music and roaring as they recognized each song. The lights drenched the. band in hues of purple and red while huge beams of red, white and blue lit up the —continued from page 7— ... skies. The lights and music and crowd appeared to merge into one ecstatic spirit. Finally, after combining “Les Brers in A Minor” and “Elizabeth Reed” into an incredible hour, the Allman Brothers exited from the stage amidst the kind of ovation usually reserved for the World Champion New York Knicks. Minutes later, they responded to the now delirious crowd’s shouts of “Whipping Post.” The next day, we read how Sheriff Maurice Dean viewed the Watkins Glen event. “Everything seems to be in order. There is no state of emergency and everybody seems to be having a good time. For this amount of people, they’re better behaved than the 80,000 we get for the Grand Prix." If Sheriff Dean’s words are indicative of a new trend, namely one of respect between the “freaks” and the cops, then the Watkins Glen event represents more than just a weekend of music and highs. soon-to-be-released Brothers and Sisters album.

All of ths does not represent the failure of American democracy, Lurie concludes, but the failure of Richard Nixon. “This is Richard Nixon’s brand of politics, as he has practiced it throughout his career.” Lurie delineates almost undeniable parallels between Nixon’s political conduct of 1948 —1968 and his high crimes in office, especially enlightening to those who have been born since Checkers.

V. Ebert Dean of Undergraduate Studies if a memorandum Dr. Gelbaum to D. This action was towers invested in supposedly have ” In 1972, women didn’t take much political power and the coffee they made out-volumed any female-formulated policy by the gallons. However, women in 1972 at last got their feet wet in the mire of party politics. And, at the same time, they got their toes burned. Women entered the 1972 Democratic Convention with strength and support never expected nor witnessed previously. 1100 women served as delegates to the August convention in Miami. Much of the women’s showing came from the National Women’s Political Caucus (NWPC) which had its beginnings just prior to the Democratic Convention. This organization has vowed to remain “multi-partisan" with no formal connection to other women’s groups or to particular political parties. The NWPC had three goals in regard to the National Conventions: I) to increase the visibility of political women by having convention chairwomen, either temporarily or permanently; 2) to allow white males no more than 30% of the seats at each convention; 3) to have S0% of the delegates to each convention be women. Needless to say, these goals were not fully attained. Women, however, were more visible. Utah’s Jean Westwood was the first woman to be chairperson of a top political party. Gloria Steinem commented that the McGovern-Frascr convention guidelines which allowed for the increased representation of women and youths, made the convention floor “look like a country.” Yet, appearance was all the convention had. Only the Democratic image had been changed, not the attitudes of the powerful nor the accessibility to that power. As Germaine Greer viewed it: “There was not a queer basher or a law-and-order addict among them.” The issue which provided the greatest controversy as well as the clearest example of women’s political inexperience was the so-called “abortion plank.” In reality, this platform proposal only generally stated that “the Democratic Party is opposed to government interference in the reproductive and sexual freedom of the individual American citizen.” This “freedom of choice” plan would apply equally to a man’s right to have a vasectomy and to a woman’s right to limit her family size. The delegates (e.g., Shirley MacLaine) who were for McGovern first and group interests second felt that “reproductive freedom” was a state matter and that its inclusion on a national platform would only hurt their candidate's chance of election. Even Shirley Chisolm advised voting candidate lines rather than “feminist dissension." Some women felt that because a Democratic candidate was unlikely to win in 1972, the abortion plank should be included merely to pave its way as a campaign issue in 1976. Betty Friedan felt that if abortion had its initial national exposure in 1972, “by 1976, politics will have developed a way of handling it more effectively. However, these arguments were irrelevant. The issue involved a right, the right to sexual freedom, not just a political device conjured up by wild-eyed promiscuous women. The struggle to make this right a constitutional reality could have been a rallying point for both men and women. McGovern would probably still have lost the election, but not because of this issue alone. And at least some of the intense principled campaigning that occurred during the primaries would have carried over into the national campaign. The women were split. Should they follow their candidate or stick to their issues? Unfortunately, the word came down from the McGovern staff for delegates to vote against the “freedom of choice” plank and the women stuck by their man. As Germaine Greer observed; ‘The women were cards in McGovern’s harid, to be led or discarded as he wished.” McGovern took for granted that women would ' choice. Unlike the Democratic right wing,'women didn’t threaten to withdraw support unless their issues were included on the party platform. They didn’t have the political experience to try an alternative move, such as throwing support to Humphrey or another candidate. s The women refused to get tough in their issue demands and therefore were virtually overlooked. Women’s activist Florence Kennedy summed it up: “Honey, if you’ll hick for a dime, you can’t complain because somebody else is getting a fur coat.” The women also failed to stick by their guns in the South Carolina credentials challenge. The NWPC demanded that representation on the South Carolina delegation be proportional to their population; 51% women, 49% men. The McGovern staff again took the women’s .vote for granted and instructed the delegates to oppose the proportional proposal. The delegates complied, the South Carolina challenge was defeated and the women felt betrayed. The women at the Democratic Convention forfeited a strong stand on the issues they wanted others to support strongly. They gave in to a candidate, instead of negotiating with him. Despite this, the Democratic Convention did adopt the most comprehensive women’s rights plank ever to be found in a major party platform. The Democrats pledged support for the Equal Rights Amendment and agreed to fight discrimination against women in education, employment, salaries and promotions. The mistakes that women made during the convention were repeated later in the campaign by McGovern himself. Just as women forfeited their issues and were shafted, so did McGovern fail to capitalize on women’s issues and eventually, was abandoned by the women. After the Democratic Convention, McGovern continued to poll stronger among women than among men. Yet, by September 1, a Harris poll showed a definite change; women now preferred the incumbent Nixon to McGovern, 63 to 29 per cent. What could account for women’s failure to vote for the man with a consistently good record on women’s issues? Certainly, much of the defection to the Nixon camp may be attributed to the President’s enhanced imqge as a statesman and peacemaker. The repeated announcements of “peace is at hand” surely won over a decisive number. But could McGovern have lost some female support simply because he took the women’s vote for granted? Shifts of stance and underplaying child care, welfare and anti-discrimination measures play have lost him some needed votes. Only one major speech was delivered on child care during the campaign and that was given by Sargent Shriver. Welfare was isolated as purely a racial issue instead of driving home the fact that the majority of welfare recipients are white and female. McGovern might have created a more receptive audience for his welfare measures if he had emphasized that most married women are only one man away from public assistance. Having personally vetoed a child care bill, Nixon was very vulnerable on that issue as he was on his grudging support of the Equal Rights Amendment and his rejection of reproductive freedom measures. Yet these issues were never the object of major focus for the McGovern campaign. For a running mate, McGovern chose Thomas Eagleton partially for his ticket-balancing qualities. He was a Catholic from a border Southern state who had good relations with labor and was an impressive campaigner. The runner-up in the vice-presidential bid, Sissy Farenthold, was also a Catholic from a Southern state who had accrued over a million votes in a Texas gubernatorial race. Furthermore, she had put together a coalition of women, blacks, Oucanos* and workers, which is exactly the type of litical force McGovern professed to represer in order to win the November electioi not Ms. FarenthohTs qualifications wer Eagleton’s is not the issue. What is imf McGovern chose not to consider her candidate and that women at the convr strongly, push for her nominal vice-presidential slot. In conclusion. Sen. McGovern effectively utilize the massive loyalty he may have suffered from it electorally. the other hand, did not assert their needs effectively and are suffering from politically and 'ontinually. Friday, 3 August \9, - - i . The Spectrum Page elevei . �Two Sub-Board I members reply to UUAB commentary To the Editor. Mr. Jeffrey Wechsler’s commentary on Sub-Board I’s activities or rather that of its executive members filled me with much joy. Especially his opening statement, quote; “The interesting thing about facts is that no matter how much one tries to deny them, they remain the facts.” Unquote. Had Mr. Wechsler only followed through his dissertation on facts, it would have made for a far more factual commentary. As it turned out, it only conveyed the naivete of the individual purporting to have knowledge of such matters. He goes on to say that: ‘Through careful apportioning of its budget, it can provide all these services, despite the fact that some of these cultural pursuits, by their very nature, are not money-making pursuits." Now, just what is meant by “through careful apportioning of its budget” is left unanswered. If it is considered that (1) the existence of a well-laid plan is the major step toward achieving coordination, executives are forced to think of the relationship of individual operations, other operations, and the student governments as a whole; (2) that budgets help to restrain the empire-building efforts of executives; that budgets broaden individual thinking by helping to remove unconscious biases on the part of individuals in the position to make decisions; and finally that budgets help to search out weaknesses in the organizational structure. If the administration of budgets isolates problems of communication, of fixing responsibility, and of working relationships, then I wholeheartedly agree. But as it was left unanswered, I can only presume Mr. Wechsler has no knowledge of this matter. Mr. Wechsler further states that Sub-Board 1 is no longer interested in cultural service to the campus community. I presume he has asked each member of the executive committee of Sub-Board To the Editor: I would like to reply to Mr. Wechsler’s article in last week’s The Spectrum, which seemed to single me out as the “Arch-Villain" of Sub-Board I did not say at any time that “I know what graduate students want and they don't want art, literature, dance or drama.” I stated that the results of a questionnaire conducted in graduate departments last spring by Mr. John Greenwood and myself indicated in a majority of the responses, the following ranking of The "Considering Mr. Janson's letter let me say at the outset, as startling as it may seem, that i heartily applaud and commend Mr. Janson on an excellent example of logical, rational writing. On reading the letter 1 noticed many thoughtful observations and important points, and then visited Mr. Janson that same day. As I somewhat suspected from the underlying direction of his arguments in his letter, we are basically of the same mind on the conduct and result of the Sub-Board I “discussion” of the UUAB budget and on Sub-Board I procedural tactics in general. I shall elaborate on this in two parts. 1. Individuals and 'the whole' On a one-to-one basis, this means that criticism directed toward an individual should be responsible in the first place, and the ‘target’ of such, criticism (i.e. differing opinion) should seriously scrutinize ' and give due consideration to the ideas of others without taking egocentric or paranoiac attitudes. As we quickly agreed, neither Mr. Janson or myself take our commentaries as being “out to get” each other. (And please, Mr. Kobas, 1 have absolutely no animosity toward you, and a re-reading of my article will reveal that if an “Arch-Villain” is mentioned therein, it is assuredly not you.) Any individual in office in any organization must be considered a part of the organization as a whole, whether he agrees witbjts actions or not. As is well evidenced in the letter, Mr. Janson iro« not agree as an individual with many actions of Sub-Board I as a whole. For example; “1 do not embrace a ‘blatant student-be-damned’ attitude and I resent the fact that any or all questions as to the propriety of expenditures by anyone cannot be questioned or reviewed. This would, in my opinion, constitute a students-be-damned attitude.” Page twelve The Spectrum -Ft iday, 3 August 1973 . and that that is the express opinion of each of them? I can say, unequivocally that it certainly is not my opinion, and 1 have never expressed such to him nor to anyone else. I do not embrace a “blatant students-be-damned attitude” and I resent the fact that any or all questions as to the propriety of expenditures by anyone cannot be questioned or reviewed. This would, in my opinion, constitute a students-be-damned attitude. I would greatly appreciate for Mr. Wechsler to bring forth any and all evidence indicating that individuals on Sub-Board I have been dedicating their lives to amassing funds to the detriment of others. We, or at least, I may have a different opinion on material wealth as a means to self-satisfaction, but that is only a philosophical question which has no bearing on the facts here nor is it relevant. Mr. Wechsler also states that: “Facts and logic have no place in these people’s lives.” Please point out to me where facts and logic were used in his commentary. Data please!!. Mr. Wechsler, again quotes from another source, that of Mr. Sargent, stating that he was amazed at the lack of financial and business I presume knowledge and the naive attitudes meaning members of Sub-Board 1. I gather that Mr. Wechsler and Mr. Sargent together could better facilitate the on-goings of Sub-Board I, if in fact Mr. Sargent made such an opinion at all. However, I would guess it only was an opinion with little forethought beforehand. However, I would more than appreciate any help or suggestions on how to better meet the needs of the students by better disbursement of funds. In light of this, I would like to venture an opinion not on hard facts. Budgeting is too often looked upon from a purely mechanistic viewpoint. The human factors in budgeting are more important than the accounting techniques. The success of a budgetary system depends upon its acceptance by the student members who are - priorities: first, was “Health Services” (which include day care and birth control clinics). Next was “Housing,” followed by Concerts, Coffeehouses, etc. This was followed by Literary and Performing Arts. Incidently, this questionnaire was conducted by the GSA, NOT Sub-Boar41. In fact, at the time the poll was conducted, I was not a member of Sub-Board I-. At the present time, this is the only recent poll of graduate student opinion as to how their fees are being used that 1 know of. If Mr. Wechsler has any ideas on how to affected by the budgets. Attitudes ideally are cooperative and cost-conscious. Budgets place individuals responsible in the spotlight. The natural reaction to restriction, to criticism, and to control is resistance and self-defense. The job of education and selling is overwhelmingly important here. Too many individuals think that budgets represent a penny-pinching, negative brand of board members pressure. To them, the word budget is about as popular as, say, stipend decrease. Ideally, company personnel should understand and accept the role of budgets as positive vehicles for divisions improvement. Properly used, it is simply a systematic tool for establishing standards of performance, for providing motivation, for gauging results, and for helping-atudent governments advance toward its objectives. A budgetary program per se is not a remedy for weak managerial talent, faculty or a poor information system. Finally, to say, and I quote: “When irrational, unfeeling individuals, refusing input from any source, try to set themselves up as gods, it is time for some rational, responsible iconoclasm." I fully agree with this statement by Mr. Wechsler, Only I wish he would have elaborated further as to where he would find such rational individuals, aside from himself, of course. I have always maintained that anyone could ask to meet with me and discuss any matter they chose, and I would be more than willing to entertain any factual input. Mr. Wechsler need only to have asked his editor, Howie Kurtz, if I had previously expressed this to Mr. Kurtz at a meeting we had. But of course, who needs all the small details about factual events? Monte Janson Student Affairs Vice President Graduate Student Association conduct a more accurate and efficient poll of graduate students, I would really appreciate hearing about it. If he bears too much animosity towards me, 1 am sure that other members of the GSA would be anxious to hear about it. s Mr. Weschler was probably quite angered by the budget cuts but this anger does not give him the right to put words in a person’s mouth by the addition or deletion of pertinent phrases or statements. George Kobas Vice Chairman Sub-Board I, Inc. Artseditor responds As verified in our conversation, this points out that Mr. Janson decries the close-minded stance taken by Sub-Board I (ignoring student input, limiting discussion to ten minutes). Unfortunately, Mr. Janson could not attend that meeting. If he did, I feel that a good deal of this travesty and mockery of administration may have been*avoided. 2. Facts and responsibility The first part of Mr. Janson’s letter is primarily a personal disclaimer of the attitudes evidenced by Sub-Board I as a whole. Now please read the third and the last five paragraphs of that letter very carefully. Its essential idea is a plea for something which Mr. Janson and 1 both think is sorely lacking in student government: rational, responsible compilation and communication of the facts. Facts are as difficult to obtain from student organizations here, without loss or distortion of material, as opened soup can lids once they have slipped to the bottom of the can. There are two causes involved, the first being poor procedure and record-keeping. An example is, as hard as it may be to believe, the Sub-Board I minutes for the July 19 meeting do not include the vole count on the UUAB budget; it merely states that the budget was passed. In other words, there is no record of the number of votes for, against, or abstaining, or how each individual voted. This seems a nice, easy way to hide the facts from persons interested in investigating the matter, (and perhaps ease the voters’ consciences) by simply not keeping a record of the facts. This is, at best, administrative incompetency. The second cause is the egocentric, personal, and political motives for many of the decisions and claims made in student-run organizations. As said earlier, many individuals, when questioned about the facts will assume the “He’s out to get me” posture, act irrationally and/or arrogantly, and never consider for a moment that these questions’ purpose is the simple inquiry into facts relevant to the good of the students. Also, individual irresponsibility (in the form of personal pet programs backed whether or not they benefit the campus community as a whole) should not be tolerated, but have been in the past. All budgets and programs should be open to extremely careful questioning and scrutiny. If members of student organizations don’t like this harder, responsible approach because it will make them work (gasp!) for their stipends, they should get out or be put out. I believe I may say that Mr. Janson has apparently experienced as much, and probably more, disgust with Sub-Board tactics than I. The very fact that Mr. Janson expressed an opinion on the matter, writing as an individual not present at the meeting but part of Sub-Board I as a whole, (especially considering that not one other Sub-Board member, besides Mr. Kobas, has deigned to justify their actions) illustrates a great sense of responsibility, lacking in many others. In conclusion, notice in our respective commentaries that our basic points concerning student government are absolutely non-contradictory, and realize that individual names as vehicles for communicating opinions for the general good are, once that capacity is accomplished, irrelevant. And I am glad to report that both Mr. Janson and 1 have agreed to do whatever we can (together if needs be!) to help bring rational responsibility into the affairs of student organizations. We hope others will also react to correct this irresponsibility, as recently epitomized by Sub-Board I’s July meeting.

Noting that the Watergate affair alone did not prompt him to submit the resolution, Father Drinan, a Jesuit priest, said he decided to offer the impeachment measure only after it was revealed that President Nixon conducted a series of secret bombing raids over Cambodia for 14 months prior to April 30, 1970. According to reports, it appears unlikely that the resolution will be acted upon soon, although there is speculation that the resolution could prompt reaction from representatives who have so far only toyed with the idea of impe|chment. Haldeman challenged Former Presidential aide H.R. Haldeman was challenged this week by the Senate Watergate committee regarding his recount of the secret White House tapes of President Nixon’s Watergate conversations. Committee chairman Sam Ervin charged that Mr. Haldeman’s testimony was a part of a “planned action” by the White House to report a favorable version of the taped conversations. Troop amendment defeated The House voted 280— 130 this week against an amendment that would have prohibited American troops from being stationed in any foreign country that “was spending a smaller percentage of its gross national product on defense than the United States was.” The amendment’s defeat, seen as a vote of confidence for the Administration’s overseas policies, was primarily aimed at lowering the 300,000 troops now stationed in Western Europe. Nixon to visit Japan President Nixon is planning a trip to Japan within the next 18 months with Emperor Hirohito visiting the United States sometime in 1974. The exchange of visits is an effort to improve relations between the two countries which have deteriorated in the past two years because of economic issues. If the visits take place, Mr. Nixon will be the first incumbent President to visit Japan. Both visits are expected to stir controversy in Japan. Tricia sends her “undies” Tricia Nixon Cox brings her laundry down from New York to be done by the White House laundresses. But only her “finer things,” says a spokesman for the first family. The practice has caused disgruntlement among some White House servants. Civilian surveillance denounced A Senate investigating unit Tuesday condemned what it called the Army’s massive and unrestrained surveillance of civilians during the late I960’s. The Senate constitutional rights subcommittee said the surveillance violated First Amendment rights of free speech and association and was not authorized by law. Chairman Sam Ervin announced he was introducing, with 33 senators as co-sponsors, a bill to ban all monitoring of civilian political activity by military agents. The subcommittee said that at the height of the monitoring, the Army engaged.over 1500 plainclothes agents to collect information that was placed in scores of data centers throughout the country. sponi Aug. 12, at 6:00 p,m.

They announced they would decide on a day-to-day basis whether to continue operations. “Remaining supplies of beef do not warrant a 5-day operation,” said one spokesman. LOCAL Transportation bond passes The state legislature gave overwhelming approval to ALBANY Gov, Rockefeller’s $3.5 billion transportation bond issue late Tuesday. The bill had a 42-15 victory in the Senate and a 99-43 plurality in the Assembly. The bill, which must be approved by the electorate in the Nov, 6 election, allocates $1.4 billion dollars for highway construction $250 million for New York City, $400 for the commuter districts outside New York City and $700 million for Upstate areas.

Sears Law Library. It will also' serve as a temporary home for the Department of Economics. - Research grants have been awarded to seven graduate students. The Graduate Student Association (GSA) has granted a total of $1303 in research funds under its newly-created Graduate Resources Access Development Project (GRAD). The project was started in response to the sharp decrease in federal funding of graduate students and their research endeavors. John Greenwood, GRAD director, and a Research Council of 15 graduate students reviewed 14 proposals with $3450 in budget requests. The project was given $2500 by the University Allocation Committee for Special Funds with which to start funding student research. The $1200 which was not allocated will now be combined with $5000 voted by the GSA Senate for grants to be awarded in September and March of the coming sjhool year. The ceiling on awards is now $250 per student. However, this limit may be expanded if award funds are* significantly increased. All graduate students who are completing their degree are eligible to apply. Special consideration is given to students who demonstrate need and have made prior attempts to seek resources on their own. Equipment purchases are given priority since the GSA will retain the hardware in a GRAD Equipment Inventory for requisiton by subsequent student researchers. In addition, Mr. Greenwood said, academic areas which do not normally receive research funding will also receive a somewhat higher priority for awards. According to Mr. Greenwood, the goal of the program is to enhance the opportunities of graduate students to produce, high quality research. He said GRAD is now trying to establish contracts with industry and government to enlarge the award fund and to place graduates in pre or post-graduate positions. The first of the GRAD grants were awarded to: Abdul-llah Abu-Ayyash, Geography; Edward G. Carmines, Political Science; Anne L. Donovan, Psychology; Eric R. Lacy, Biology; Linda A. Rosselli, Psychology: Mark J. Sokoloff, Psychology and Kathleen Van Every, Educational Psychology. The deadline for the next set of grants-is September 28, 1973.

The following analysis attempts to provide some perspective on the worldwideatomic race. by Howie Kurtz Ediior-in-Chief An accepted tenet of the nuclear age is that the next war will be the last one. Most people therefore don’t speculate much about a coming nuclear confrontation, feeling that if it comes, we won’t be around to worry about it. Government officials, however, are constantly considering such factors as first- and second— strike capability, multiple warheads, and deterrents. Most Americans expect that we would not be the ones to start such a war, since it would obviously lead to the destruction of our civilization. They expect that we would only use nuclear weapons if the Soviets attacked us first. Such a view overlooks three things. First, the United States is the only country that has used nuclear weapons against another country, Jhe annihilation of Hiroshima News Analysis and Nagasaki in Japan. Second, history has shown that every time a new and frightening weapon has been invented, if has inevitably been used (nerve gas, biological warfare, torture methods, etc). The UJS. has perhaps been the worst culprit of conventional atrocities in the lastdecade. Third, the emerging multipolar world is one in which security for the non-nuclear countries means protection by a nuclear power. Our defense treaties with Western Europe place them snugly under our nuclear umbrella. What would the UJS. do if the Soviet Union invaded Germany and France tomorrow by conventional meaqs? It is easy to say that this will never happen, that Russia knows it would mean the mutual destruction of our societies if it were to blatantly attack our allies. Yet the heads of the NATO governments clearly regard such Vol. 24. No. 7 State University of Now York at Buffalo Friday. 27 July 1973 HUl! • < « M » • IlHVM'ttiT an eventuality as possible. They regard the threat that the US. may use nuclear weapons in time of war as the key NATO deterrent. And perhaps they fear not a conventional attack as much as subtler, perhaps economic, pressure. It is in this light that the recent US.—Soviet diplomatic manuevering, culminating in the Nixon-Brezhnev agreement to prevent nuclear war, must be viewed. The agreement obliges the two countries to immediately enter into “urgent consultations” if relations between them or between one of them and a third country “appear to involve the risk of nuclear conflict.” The New York Times recently disclosed that the Soviets tried to include a clause which would have called for joint intervention by the US. and U.SS.R. in any world conflict area; in effect, a proposal for a two-power police role’. The US. rejected the clause. Aimed at China The Soviets tried to sell a similar clause in the Strategic Arms Limitation Talks (SALT-I) in July 1970, and experts agree that in both cases the clause, although applicable anywhere, was clearly aimed at China. The U.SJS.R. and China share thousands of miles of common border, as well as mutual paranoia and fear of each other. There has been much speculation lately that the Soviets will soon attempt nuclear castration of China before the Chinese can adequately build up its nuclear capability to survive a Soviet first strike and retaliate. If this all seems like science fiction, imagine how the U.S. would react if a hostile Mexico were about to achieve full nuclear capability. The Chinese should achieve an adequate deterrent against a Soviet first strike very soon, although development of missiles which could reach the U.S. is years away. The U. S. resisted the joint intervention clause, and the agreement as interpreted by Henry Kissinger is a sort of formal pledge to use the Washington—Moscow hot line as need arises. Mr. Kissinger described the pledge as operative in peacetime to help prevent war, but not limiting the behavior of either country should war break out. > However, many Soviet press and —continued on radio pago 4— �•#T:rS^r* Sc^otm^tjousin^ Student co-op opens infall This incorporation bolstered progress tremendously, Mr. Bealle explained, because it gave Scholastic Housing a structure “to put money into.

Abandoned original plan Realizing funds for construction would not be forthcoming. Scholastic Housing abandoned its original plan and bagan looking at several large commercial apartment buildings near campus. ‘But after speaking with many Buffalo realtors, local politicians, and Common Councilmen, we ran into a whole string of problems,” Mr. Bealle said. One such stumbling block, he indicated, was an obscure City of Buffalo housing ordinance stating that no more than two unrelated individuals may live together in an apartment. “We were able to beat the ordinance,” Mr. Bealle asserted, “by directing our search towards the purchase of a boarding house that would have individual rooms with common areas.” However, many of the available buildings were either too big, too expensive, or too far from campus. Finding itself besieged by difficulties, Scholastic Housing sought help by joining NASCO, the North American Student Cooperative Organization. It was through consultations with NASCO, Mr. Bealle explained, that the decision was made to establish a cooperative. “We liked what they said about the co-op philosophy, especially its leftist-oriented economic approach,” he said. After receiving advice from individuals who had belonged to successful co-ops in Berkeley, California, Ann Arbor, Michigan, and Baltimore, Maryland, the housing corporation contacted Monroe Real Estate and arrangements were finalized to purchase a building at 252 Crescent Avenue.

SALE Friday, 27 July 1973 �CWfY admissions Judge halts bombing doororrevolving door? Open Measuring the success or failure of a program, especially one as large and diverse as the City University of New York’s (CUNY) open admissions policy, requires probing beneath the surface statistics. Last week it was revealed that over half the students admitted under open admissions were no longer attending the college they had entered. Furthermore, it was predicted that two-thirds of die first class admitted under the policy three years ago will drop out before obtaining a degree. Yet, despite these portentous figures, the program has been deemed in many ways a remarkable success. According to CUNY Chancellor Robert Kilbee: “Even if only 15 or 20 percent of those who ordinarily would never have gotten a chance to go to the City University obtain degrees, I would regard that as a significant accomplishment. After all, we’re talking about human lives.” Agreeing,. CUNY Publications today. The ruling was the result of a suit by freshman Representative Elizabeth Holtzman (D., Brooklyn) and three Air Force fliers based in Guam. Expresaing pleasure at the “momentous decision,” Ms. Holtzman claimed H reconfirmed the constitutional principle that “no American lives can be sacrificed and no taxpayers’ money can be spent on a military effort that is not approved by Congress.” ... PIZZERIA RESTAURANT Coordinator Richard Cahill said the program cannot be judged solely by academic standards. Even if a student drops out after six months, he at least had the opportunity to.experience college life, he said. Revolving door? The open admissions policy guarantees all high school graduates, regardless of *their scholastic record, admission to a unit in the CUNY system. According to Dr, Kibbee, the dropout rates.of students in this program are in line with national college rates and cannot be used to .determine the program’s success. The criteria for judging the program should be what the college does or does not do for its students, he said. Critical to the open admissions policy are remedial programs designed to compensate for a student’s lack of adequate pre-college preparation. But despite these programs, critics contend that the open door is acutally a revolving door. Responding, Dr. Kibbee noted: “We don’t have the secret for taking a freshman who reads on an eighth grade level and getting him to the point where he can graduate like everyone * else.” CUNY officials have warned against “simplistic” interpretations of the dropout rates. Asked one official: “If a student attends a community college for a year and then leaves because the program he has enabled has taken say, in air conditioning him to get a job that he wants, is it fair to say that the student or the college has failed because he did - not stay longer?” Unfair standards He also asked why a student who drops out of a senior college in his third or fourth year is considered a failure, while a student who obtained a two-year associate degree from a community college is regarded as a success. A study on the policy by the American Council on Education found that nationally, CUNY had a higher proportion of students from poor families with low high school grades. These students are considered more likely to drop out of school. Additionally, the lack of financial assistance to these students while in school often results in them leaving to go to work. CUNY’s changeoever from selective to open admissions has brought charges that the new policy has caused a decline in academic standards. However, the happiness b mi UPSTATE CYCtC PjS. ~/!

Store throughout the state for public and private schools. Commenting on the tuition policy, SUNY Student Communications Coordinator Russ Gugino said that “higher education is getting so expensive that it is no longer possible to think of no-tuition in realistic terms.” Presently, upstate students are footing the bill for those attending CUNY schools, he said. It is feared the tuition proposal will “squeeze out” middle income students since present forms of financial aid, such as Regents scholarships and incentive awards, would be eliminated. According to Mr. Gugino, financial aid will be determined by a graduated income scale and will depend on a student’s need. Most likely only those in the lowest income groups will be assisted financially, he said. In addition, some feel the proposal favors private colleges at the expense of public institutions. The proposal also recommends a shift from the state’s current policy of granting funds to schools in favor of giving them directly to students. The state feels funds are easier to regulate when given to students, rather than to institutions, Mr. Gugino said. One CUNY official commented that if the new tuition policy is adopted, open admissions would be seriously impaired. - The U.S. Government has until 4 p.m. today to appeal a federal judge’s ruling Wednesday that the U.S. must halt the bombing of Cambodia on the pounds that it is “unauthorized and unlawful.** “There is no existing congressional authority to order military forces into combat in Cambodia or to release bombs over Cambodia,” said Federal District Court Judge Orrtn G.

And both superpower* have very large strategic forces capable of destroying each other’s society even after suffering any conceivable surprise attack. This state of mutual deterrence was stabilized the by SALT-I talks, which put a ceiling on the number of offensive missiles and limiting each side to two ABM sites (protection against nuclear weapons). And although the invulnerability of American Polaris submarines, which would have to be individually hunted down and destroyed by Russia, is not threatened by any conceivable technological breakthrough, the Pentagon is presently pushing for $13.5 billion for Trident, a submarine missile system which could hit Moscow from a range of 4,000 miles, rather than the.present 2,500. While proponent argue this would reduce the commentaries have tended to interpret the agreement in a broader way than the US. would, implying that the two superpowers had agreed not to use nuclear weapons each other if either was in combat with a third country. It is this interpretation, one which would collapse Western Eurpoe’t nuclear umbrella, which our NATO allies fear. Washington has insisted that it was not pledging it would never use nuclear weapons in wartime, and that the agreement did not limit the US. nuclear commitment to its allies. Collective gasp West Europeans fear that the agreement could weaken their security by letting the Soviets think the US. would not use nuclear retaliation if West Europe was attacked by conventional means. Time Magazine reported that the nuclear agreement brought “a collective gasp in Western Europe. Almost everyone believes that DeGaulle is now vindicated In his view that the US. would not risk nuclear destruction to defend Europe, or risk New York to save Hamburg.” West German Foreign Minister Walter Scheel recently emphasized to President Nixon German fears that the agreement robs NATO of nuclear credibility and opens the door to Soviet blackmail. At to whether the US. would risk nuclear war to defend Europe, the feeling is-that as long as our nuclear deterrent remains adequate, the Soviets would never risk such an invasion: in sho7t, we hope to never have to make such a choice. Conventional deterrents are important too, which is why the Allies on both tides of the~Atlantic regard the 313,000 US. troops in Europe, most of them in West Germany, as a vital bargaining chip with the Soviets. Russia has twice as many troops in Europe, and one key in the mutual and balanced force reduction talks (MBFR) is that the Soviets will just pull their troops back across their border, while ours must be contend the present deterrent is more than adequate and the program would amount to spending billions withdrawn across an ocean. in fear of the unknown. And looking beyond the Not out of love MIRV competition, planners envision a new Europeans regard those troops as vital to their generation of weaponry spawning such devices as security, while America, faced with large counter— satellite satellites. balance-of-payment deficits, wants Europe, to start shouldering more of the financial burden for its own The other side While cold war mentality dictates that it would be “the other side” that strikes first, nuclear deterrence renders that irrelevant, since each country knows it will be destroyed even if it strikes first. To the Soviets, America is the other side the side that has already used nuclear weapons in 194S, and the side that rejected a clause that would remove its option of using nuclear weapons in wartime. War with China is also a possibility they live with every day. From, the American perspective, the Soviet clause was an unacceptable proposal for a two-power police role, for the nuclear umbrella over an increasingly suspicious Western Europe is ‘considered an inviolate defense policy. For most Americans the days of nuclear brinkmanship ended after the Cuban missile crisis of 1962. But in high government circles, officials are playing dangerous gambles in which they must avoid checkmate and force a stalemate in the nuclear chess game. Right now the principal members of the nuclear club are the United States and the Soviet Union, with China about to join the superpower elite, and Britain and France, which is presently conducting a series of nuclear tests in the face of Mutual deterrence worldwide protests, as lesser members. The Russians have a slightly different triad: 145 But at least a dozen other countries will intercontinental bombers, 1,618 ICBM’s and 33 inevitably be joining.

West Europeans feel Washington is using the troops to gain economic concessions from them, and retort that our troops are on the Continent not out of love, but because our vital interests are affected as well. As for nuclear stockpiles in this world chess game, the US. has a triad of strategic weapons: 450 intercontinental bombers, 1,054 land-based intercontinental ballistic missiles (ICBM’s), and a fleet of 41 nuclear-powered Polaris submarines. While the first two might be vulnerable to a Soviet first strike, the Polaris submarines, which can reach Moscow from a range of 2,500 nautical miles, are virtually invulnerable. The US. is also in the final stages of placing multiple warheads, which can be aimed independently at separate targets during flight (MIRV’s), on our ICBM’s and submarines. We will have 7,000 nuclear warheads by 1975, 5,000 of them mounted on submarines. “When one recalls what a single, much smaller nuclear weapon did to Hiroshima, one can realize what even a few hundred of these, would do to Soviet society,” reports The New York Times. - Next Friday’s edition of The Spectrum will be the last summer issue.

In loco parentis’ rule facing extinction soon by Gary Cohn Contributing Editor Traditionally, universities have maintained an in loco parentis status over their undergraduate students. However, the era of parental control by universities to a dose, according to a report recently issued by the Coundl of Student Personnel Associations in Higher Education. The author of the report. University of Georgia professorD. Parker Young said the 1971 Amendment giving 18 year olds the right to vote in federal elections initiated legislation and court action dealing with a variety of other rights for 18-21 year olds. This resulted in a redefinition of the legal age, and 18 rather than 21 is now considered adulthood in many states, including New York. Because almost all of the nation’s undergraduates fall into the 18-21 year old range, universities in these states can no longer apply the in loco parentis doctrine to their students. What this will mena, according to Dr. Young, is a change in the relationship between the student and his university on “almost any campus activity.” Contending that colleges should no longer be permitted to mail grades and/or disciplinary reports to parents, Dr. Young cautioned the Council of Student Personnel Associations: “There seems to be no legal justification for the disclosure of such information to parents or guardians unless permission is granted by the student." Students may also sue a college or be sued by a school without involving the parents as legal guardians. According to Time magazine (July 9, 1973), schools are more vulnerable to legal action by students themselves, specifically against professors who “skip classes or arbitrarily grade, or administrators who close buildings as a result of demonstrations by other (BUYING We offer students." The concept of'financial aid may also have to be reworked, Dr. Young stated. Although financial aid has long been based on the “Parent’s Confidnetial Statement," student may now claim that only their financial status is relevant. If this claim is upheld, financiallindependent students from wealthy families would no longer be barred from obtaining financial aid. Legal residence Dr. Young also concluded that out-of-state students attending colleges which charge higher rates for nonresidents would be able to establish legal residence independent of their parents, thereby becoming eligible for lower tution. Furthermore, he expects recent rulings court wlych prohibit universities from compelling students over 21 to live in dormitories to be extended to students over 18. The State University at Buffalo does not require students to live in dormitories. This is due, in part, to the fact that the demand for dormitory space has generally exceeded the number of available beds. However, the supply and demand relationship is expected to reverse Itself when the Davis-Brody dormitory complex opens on the Amherst campus in September, 1974. Davis-Brody has a capacity of approximately 3300 students. In the past, university officials have alluded to the possiblity of requiring lower classmen who reside outside a local radius to live in the dormitories, should available space substantially exceed the demand for on campus housing. According to the report, however, such a requirement may soon be barred by the courts. Ultimately, these and other issues will have to be settled by courts. But it does seem, safe to bid farewell to the long standing doctrine of in loco parentis. STEREO EQUIPMENT?

But I don’t see why something that’s different cannot also be of high quality.” Dean Ebert said the Colleges were now being watched more carefully because the University was developing “a very shoddy reputation” in the eyes of the Middle States Evaluation team and other Universities. Recounting how one student was awarded 16 'credits “to peddle through Europe” as part of one College’s experimental course, he said: “Students can no longer do their own thing without anyone’s accounting as was the case three years ago .” Dr. Ebert explained how the emphasis on different areas of study has drastically shifted in his almost 20 years as a member of the University faculty. “During the ’56—’57 period,” he said, “high schools and universities suddenly became more Monitor Undergraduate Programs Terming his primary responsibility “the science-conscious because it was the year of enforcement of New York State Department of Education rules, the State University of New York guidelines and the ‘special’ rules and regulations of the State University at Buffalo,” Dr. Ebert said: ‘The Dean of DUS is directly responsible to the President’s office for monitoring all undergraduate student programs.” As Chairman of the DUS Committee on Degree Requirements, Dean Ebert oversees virtually all cases where the satisfactory completion of degree requirements has been questioned. Many disputes arise when students unwittingly complete all the requirements for a major without having applied for official acceptance to that department, he indicated.

Dr. Ebert said he probably was more inclined towards the selective arming of Campus Security officers “under certain specific conditions. If it's done right with a highly selective and specially trained person who would probably never fire, it would be better than no arming at all,” he maintained. Dr. Ebert favors the A+, B- grading system. “Speaking as a Geography instructor, I have often found the step between an A and a B too blunt," he said. “However, if you cut it down too fine you start playing games.” Referring to the four-course, four-credit system.

Mr. Ehrlichman, former Presidential domestic affairs advisor, maintained throughout his testimony that there was no basis for- the charges of illegal conduct directed against him and the , White House. He bitterly asserted that John W. Dean, former White House legal counsel and chief witness against the President, had misled the White House about the Watergate burglary and its cover-up. “Mr. Dean’s explanation (of the pre-Watergate White House atmosphere) is that we were all suffering from some advanced form of neurosis, and nothing else just some strange White House madness,” Mr. Ehrlichman said. Mr. Ehrlichman declared that the President was concerned that domestic disruptions fire bombings and anti-war marches would upset delicate foreign relations. President outhroized the burglary of the doctor’s office. Sen. Sam Ervin, the Watergate committee chairman, vehemently challenged Mr. Ehriichman's conception of the extent of presidential power.

He maintained that Mr. Nixon was giving “balanced attention” to both domestic and international affairs. “I do not suggest that we were all just too busy to have noticed” the Watergate incident, Mr. Bhrlichman testified. However, the White, House did rely on Mr. Dean for “complete and accurate information” concerning Watergate and that a “chain of delegation of responsibility is only as strong as its weakest link.” " , Usual defense funds Mr. Bhrlichman conceded being aware soon after the Watergate break-in that funds were being -accumulated for the criminal defendants in the case. But he insisted that his understanding had been that this fund-raising activity was no more unusual than the defense committees’ action in other celebrated conspiracy cases such as the Pentagon papers trial. In addition, Mr. Ehrlichman said that President Nixon felt it was “well within -both the constitutional duty and obligation of the Presidency” for White House aides to break into the office of Dr. Daniel Ellsberg’s former psychiatrist. He said the break-in was entirely within the President’s legal authority to protect national security information from falling into the hands of foreign powers. However, Mr. Ehrlichman maintained that neither he nor the FHday, -UP1 Fourth Amendment protection and to commit burglary. Mr. Ehrlichman also declared that there was no White'House concern that the operations of the special investigative unit, the “plumbers,” who committed the burglary of Dr. Ellsberg’s doctor, wowW-be disclosed as a result of the Watergate investigation. He said further that he had received no instructions from President Nixon to see that the Senate’s inquiry into the Watergate affair did not divulge the activities of the plumbers. Both of these statements contradict the President’s address on May 22, when he declared that he had been worried about disclosure of the plumbers activities and had specifically instructed Mr. Ehrlichman to see that the Watergate investigation did not “compromise” those activities. Mr. Ehrlichman acknowledged that he was in over-all charge of the plumbers’ unit and that he had approved a “covert operation” to examine Dr. Ellsberg’s medical files. He conceded that he had written on an August, 1971 proposal for such an operation “if done under assurance that it is not traceable.” However, Mr. Ehrlichman contended that he did not have burglary in mind when he approved the plan. After he learned of the doctor’s office break-in, Mr. Ehrlichman testified, he ordered that there be no more burglaries. He did this, he said, not because they would have been illegal, but because they would have provided bad public relations if they were ever discovered. In addition, Mr. Ehrlichman indicated there were other covert activities of the plumbers’ unit that have not come into public attention. However, he declined to identify these activities because of national security considerations. 27 July 1973 The Spectrum Page five . . �Is anyone above the law? country where we can say with "Cambodia is one complete assurance that our hands are clean and our hearts are pure." —Secretary of State William Rogers, 1970 "For five years, neither the United States nor South Vietnam has moved against these enemy sanctuaries [inside Cambodia] because we did not wish to violate the territory of a neutral nation." —President Nixon's nationwide TV address to the American people, April 30, 1970 People scoffed last year when George McGovern called the government of Richard Nixon "the most corrupt Administration in history." They aren't scoffing any more. It boggles the mind to think that the entire scandal known as Watergate began when the District of Columbia police answered a routine call. Vet the disclosures which have emerged from the ensuing investigations have provided a sobering kick in the pants for most Americans. It is no longer possible to simply and cynically look the other way. It is no longer remotely possible to write off government misconduct as "politics as usual" or the havoc of a few overzealous individuals. The scandal has touched the very heart of American democracy and beliefs. We are in the midst of a moral crisis. Indeed, the unpredictable American electorate is stubbornly opening its eyes to reality: fully three-quarters now believe Mr. Nixon involved in wrongdoing to some feel he should be extent, and 24% almost a quarter impeached. The House is about to appoint a committee to investigate the possibility of impeachment, but most Washington insiders predict that drastic step won't be taken unless public opinion demands it. The people, as was intended by the Founding Fathers when they introduced the impeachment clause, will be the judge. And the people are starting to inch toward the painful conclusion that there is a moral defective in the Oval Office. The issue of the President's secret tape recordings is in a sense symbolic of the moral bankruptcy of the White House. Mr. Nixon, who perceives himself as being above the law, has thosen to ignore the subpoenas of Messrs. Ervin and Cox, hiding behind a twisted interpretation of executive privilege as he has hidden under a national security blanket all along. "If the President is right about executive privilege," said Sen. Walter F. Mondaie (D., Minn.), "I would recommend to every criminal in the country that he get a job at the White House because then he couldn't be prosecuted." John Ehrlichman has testified that Mr. Nixon felt It was "well within the constitutional duty and obligation of the Presidency" for White House aides to break into Daniel Ellsberg's psychiatrist's office. He interpreted a 1968 law as granting the President the authority to authorize burglaries. Sen. Ervin correctly retorted that "not a syllable" permits suspension of the Fourth Amendment to allow burglary. But it is exactly this total disregard for the law, this sacrificing of lawful means to gain supposedly (or politically) desirable ends, that spawned not only Watergate, but abusive drug raids into innocent people's homes, falsification of records to conceal a secret air war over a neutral country, the illegal impoundment of $18 billion (7% of the total budget) earmarked for environmental and social welfare programs, judicial tampering, authorizing burglary and breaking-and-entering for a "domestic intelligence" plan aimed at dissidents, wiring the Oval Office like a record studio, and lying to the American public with consistent regularity. When the Founding Fathers debated the inclusion of an impeachment clause in the Constitution in 1787, George Mason of Virginia asked: "Shall any man be above Justice? Above all, shall that man be above it who can commit the most extensive injustice?" They decided no and the clause was included. Today, Americans, despite their fear of the divisiveness of impeachment and the alternative of Spiro Agnew, must answer that question for themselves. The time for looking the other way is long past. — — Page six . The Spectrum Friday, 27 July 1973 . Fight Racism To the Editor feedback SASU Replies ' To the Editor. This letter is in response to the June 22, 1973 Spectrum commentary by Ron Sandberg concerning the Student Association of the State University (SASU) and the newly created Student The Assembly. Before discussing a subject like SASU one must realize that it is not some force independent of student interests. It is a voluntary organization that was formed less than three years ago by SUNY students (mostly locally elected representatives such as student presidents) to represent the common state-wide interests of students. In fact, among the finest, most dedicated representatives have come like Mark Borenstein, from your campus Chairperson 1971-73. — it is true that the various student representatives to gain the status of “official recognition” from SUNY so that it could do a more effective job. It- became evident last fall when a committee of ten student presidents sat down with persons from Central Office of SUNY that they would not recognize an organization that was as independent of SUNY Central as SASU. It was through that committee, proposed by SASU persons, that the Student Assembly became a reality. The vast majority of the student representatives from across the state view the Student Assembly as a necessary unit for voicing the student opinion on but that is only one of several SUNY matters places where the student must be heard. It is strongly felt that SASU (whose representatives will be elected on the local campuses this fall) can provide that vital base of support that will keep the students' prerogatives as closely tied to locally elected student representatives as is possible. When the base of support for a student organization, financial or otherwise, does not originate with them, that organization becomes effectively removed from wanted SASU - student control. My instincts, developed as a SUNY student, newspaper editor and student president tell me that a single association of student representatives that is sensitive to, and controlled by student interests is the best route for us to take. Brian J. Petraitis Chairman, SASU The June 21, 1973 issue of the Summer Reporter published an official statement of the Advisory Committee to the Educational Opportunity Program. This statement went out of its way to “explain” the success of “disadvantaged” EOF students by implying that they get preferential treatment from their instructors. The authors of the report apparently presume the intellectual inferiority of the predominantly non-white students in EOP, ahd cannot bring themselves to believe in the fact that EOP students succeed at UB through their own efforts. The fact that the median grade point average of EOP students is 3.0 is viewed by the authors of the report as a problem: The problem is to explain, in view of the imperfect results, nationally reported, of compensatory programs at primary and secondary levels of education, how a program in higher education, affecting students with greater accumulation of disadvantage, could show such positive results. to reflect on more than One is obliged the sheer dedication and self-improvement of EOP students. to what degree, if any, is One may ask there a special inflation of grades for EOP students on the part of faculty whose social ideals or personal sympathies may create special standards for such students? Such statements serve only to stigmatize the achievement of EOF students, and are much more indicative of the racism, rather than any sort of “preferential” treatment, that EOP v students must confront every day at UB. This school manufactures racist ideology through the likes of psychology professor Edgar Vinacke and others who maintain that there are racial differences in intelligence due to “cultural” factbrs, and the authors of the EOF report use this “academic” racism to justify their disbelief of the fact that such “disadvantaged” students could ever achieve a 3.0 average. For the racist administrators who put together this report it is evident that EOF students are not failing fast enough. They find it troublesome that EOF students do not conform to their low, racist expectations. Such racist attacks on one part of the student body are attacks on us all. Theories of “cultural deprivation" and racial inferiority will be used to exclude non-whites from the university and to segregate us from our most militant and dass-conscious student leadership. We must form a multi-racial organization to smash racist ideology and racial oppression here at UB. Join SDS. Fight back. Charles Reitz ... ... ... ...

Tragedy, non-fiction: An assassination of the arts Editor’s note: This article is an opinion by Arts Editor Jeffrey Wechsier on the July 18 Sub-Board I meeting, at the money which came from the students in the first place (mandatory student fees), these individuals have now deemed themselves the arbiters of taste and cultural exposure for the students. And this removal of artistic services is, I repeat, not a matter of spending less money, but apportioning it in order to annihilate five segments of the arts from the University. by Jeffrey Wechsier Art gratia pecuniae This smacks of the kind of anti-creative anti-intetlectualism rampant in the Gelbaum plan, which places the arts at the lowest level of priorities, the better to fill the community with fodder for business and industry, money-minded instead of human-oriented.' Dr. Gelbaum need not worry about providing the community with more cash-obsessed people. After all, it is no great revelation to state that as long as there is money to be made, individuals will dedicate their lives to amassing it as an end in itself, even to the detriment of others. Such people exist in the University already, and a lot of them are voting members of Sub-Board I, Inc. As would be expected, facts and logic have no place in these people's lives. This is best evidenced by some of the “discussion" at last Thursday's meeting. The results of a survey complied by Walt Behnke, UUAB President, and Steve Blumenkrantz, Executive Director of Sub-Board I (and fortunately not of the illogical ilk of much of the rest of his organization) were offered as evidence. All segments of the campus community were polled concerning UUAB events, i.e.: Undergraduate, Graduate, Medical, Dental, Law, MFC, Faculty-Staff, and Alumnae. The data on the Undergraduate and Graduate response is reproduced here, and is rather self-explanatory. It is important to report the method of "discussion" which was practiced at this meeting. It was marked by sheer illogic, inattention, and inhumanity. As for illogic, take the example of George Kobis who "represented" (to keep this report factual, that word must be in quotes) the graduate students. Mr. Kobis claimed that he "knows" what graduate students want, and they don't want art, literature dance, video, or drama. All they want he claimed is music, coffeehouses, and film. which the 1973-74 budget for the University Union Acitivites Board was set. Mr. Wechsier regrets interrupting his series on the Aibright-KnOx Art Gallery, but believes that the events recorded below are too great in consequence and implication to be denied immediate attention. Spectrum Arts Editor The interesting thing about facts is that no matter how much one tries to deny them, they remain the facts. Last Thursady Sub-Board I, Inc. held a meeting during which the budget for the University Union Activities Board (UUAB) for the upcoming year was considered. UUAB is the organization which schedules much of the cultural activity on this campus. It serves the University community by programming events through the following committees, listed alphabetically: Arts, Coffeehouse, Dance, Dramatic Arts, Film, Literary Arts, Music, and Video. Their various activites are distributed throughout the year At last Thursday's meeting, Sub-Board I arbitrarily diecided that the students of this Univesrity should not partake of some of these artisic endeavors. Or, to put it another way, Sub-Board I has decided to dictate which of the arts UUAB can bring to the student body. How was this done? It was not done by cutting the UUAB budget as a whole to a lower amount. Instead, the proportion of its budget to be given to each committee was arbitrarily dictated to UUAB. The end result, as passed last Thursday, was to reduce the budgets of five committees to such an extent that, for all intents and purposes, they are non-functional. These committees are Video. Literary Arts, Dramatic Arts, Dance and Arts. All have been allocated budgets which are incompatible with presenting programs comparable with their past performances. As an example, the Literary Arts Committee has been throttled with an 80% reduction in its budget. What is left is not enough to bring even two flfst-raHk authors to this campus. Despite the standing-room-only receptions attained by many of last year's speakers, Sub-Board I believes that this committee should he made non-functional. Why? The reason is rather simple. UUAB has always tried to use its budget to provide a service to University students: a well-rounded program of cultural events in all fields of the arts. Through careful apportioning of its budget, it can provide all these services, despite the fact that some of these cultural pursuits, by their very nature, are not money-making pursuits. Each committee was allotted enough to do one thing: to provide students access to cultural events. But Sub-Board I is no longer interested in cultural service to the campus community. It is now only interested in one thing, making money. And, harboring a pathetically navie pipe-dream concept of the real world of entertainment financing, and worse yet, embracing a blatant students-be-damned attitude, it has decided that only Music, Coffeehouse and Film should survive at this - University. In doing so, Sub-Board I has decided to pay homage to principal instead of principle. Using Miss Jennifer Washburn refused to personally discuss the matter at hand. A statement by a representative of the Literary Arts Committee elucidating how literary events had packed the Fillmore Room, and how that Committee kept attendance figures including graduate students, caused (7) Miss Jennifer Washburn to turn partially around, not in response, but to mutter to the Sub-Board members: "I move to limit any discussion on this budget to tne minutes." The pause tat regresses The extraordinary arrogance of this remark even shocked the Sub-Board panel. It took a while for someone to mumble a second to the motion as Miss Jennifer Washburn proceeded to duck under the desk again. Other comments from Miss Jennifer Washburn, during the rare times that she deigned to show her face to the public, were: "There's no reason to discuss this," "Let's finish this up. I want to go home," and her most telling remark, referring to the token budgets given the five committees; "If it were just up to me, those committees wouldn't be here at all." This utter disregard, indeed, total contempt for student opinion profoundly troubled even an individual from outside the campus community. Nick Sargent, the attorney for Sub-Board I, was absolutely incredulous during the proceedings, and said that they were a complete reversal of what he would expect to occur at a University. It was on campus that he would expect that an educational and public-oriented stance on the arts would be shown. Mr. Sargent also stated that he was amazed at the lack of financial and business knowledge, and the naive attitudes, that would lead people to believe that rechanneling all their money behind rock-and-roll concerts would bring in additional money. Someone said they were ashamed that Mr. Sargent had witnessed this spectacle of student government mismanagement. Mr. Sargent could only repeat that he was quite shocked. crippled arts of Miss Jennifer Washburn is only phenomenon The one member (unfortunately, the treasurer) of an Lame leaders = organization Forgetting someone? This should seem astounding enough a claim, especially to the graduate students in art, literature, drama, etc. It should also seem rather irresponsible in light of the survey of graduate students reporduced here, wherein 41.5% respondents said they would like more poetry, 42.7% said they would like more art, 40.2% said they would like more dance, etc. But as I said, facts or the welfare or wishes of students don't matter to these people. As for combined inhumanity, illogic, and inattention, the actions of Miss Jennfer Washburn, treasurer of Sub-Board I, are the most frightening. The following (honestly!) is an acual account of her behavior at these proceedings. Miss Jennifer Washburn, on hearing a comment emerge from anyone speaking in defense of not metaphorically, but UUAB would turn her back physcially turn her back on that speaker. I estimate that for approximately 70% of the meeting Miss Jennifer Washburn was facing backwards from the room. If she did not simply turn her back, she would duck under the table to start fiddling with an adding machine she had set up on the floor, and this retreat would occur when figures or amounts were not being discussed. \ - — which all has but away done with presentations of five various arts for the comming year. The Arts Committee might be able to run for three months if it's lucky. The Dance Committee might get away with two performances. Dramatic Arts, which recently brought you Proctor and Bergman, may swing two or three shows total. And don't expect a lot of video programming or more than two literary figures the likes of Ferlinghetti again. Without using more money, UUAB can bring all varieties of cultural activities on campus by simply implementing the same procedures it has used in past years. But Sub-Board I, Inc. has in effect said "The hell with what students want us to do with their money. We'll do what we want." If this precedent isn't checked, we might easily end up with only one activity each year, based only on the proceeding year's profit. Petitions for recall of certain Sub-Board I members will hopefully be circulating soon, and others are urged to add their voices in protest against this petty, irrational strangulation of the arts at this University. When irrational, unfeeling individuals, refusing input from any source, try to set themselves up as gods, it is time for some rational, responsible iconoclasm.

The two gals, Lynne and Eve, could be lovers by themselves, which means that Peter* Paul and Marty might have to hustle up their own female company when showtime is over. Or, perhaps, Peter and Paul are cozy, or maybe Peter and Marty, or Marty and Paul. Or maybe Paul goes out with Lynne (after all, he does have his hand on her shoulder on the hack cover). As a matter of fact, Paul and Lynne look rather chummy on the front cover too, except that Peter is between them, so maybe it’s just a menage-a-trois plus two, the two being Eve and Marty. I mean, one of the Pinball machines in the background is called “Superscore.” One of the best things about the New Seekers is that nobody cares if they really are just the old Seekers with a new name. And with their latest hit, a cover of Pinball Wizard (hence the record album title Pinball Wizard), why shouldn’t they be able to do what they feel like? They could be four Jacks and a Jill, or did “Master Jack” and what was that one from the Wizard of Oz that got resurrected in 1967. The New Seekers are no slouches at spreading the wealth either. All of ’em sing leads on the album- Eve sings two (“Reaching Out For Someone” and “That’s My Guy”). Lynne sings one (“With Everything Changing,” a lovely ballad that’ll probably be their next single and another sure-fire hit), Peter sings “Utah,” a captivating ode to that muchly underrated state and shares the lead on “Pinball Wizard” with Marty, who does the lead on “Look, Look,” a social commentary tune with a plaintive but enthralling message: “Look, look, at the death around you, people why are you so hard. Look, look at my body falling, onto the pavement in. the yard.” Marty seems to have a flair for songwriting, witness his composition called “Time Limit,” a song that was used as the theme for the ABC Movie “The 500 Pound Jerk,” which had Alex Karrass as a weight lifter in love with a Russian gymnast. I’m sure those of you who saw the film remember the lilting melody that Alex hummed to his Ruskie honey. Ah, the language of love. The band as a whole sings four tunes; “Brand New Song,” vaguely reminiscent of Jimmy Durante’s “One of Those Songe” and the latest doublemint commercial. Quite listenable, and on “Feelin’,” “Somebody Somewhere” and “The Further We Reach Out,” the voice of Paul shines through in supportive role. As if all this weren’t enough, the album was produced by Michael Lloyd, best known as former producer and companion to Kim Fowley and the lead singer of the highly acclaimed but short lived Laughing Wind. Lloyd plays over ten instruments on the record, including oud and bagpipes on “TimeLimit.” Sure this band does some “Top Forty” tunes, but is this any reason to ignore them? Let’s get off our snobby high horses and give some true artists a chance for a _ change. -Billy A Itman After the Ball John Fahey (Reprise) Pick a number between one and ten, OK? Now tell me who won the World Series in 1929. For the rest of.you we have here a new album from John Fahey and his orchestra call After the Ball. Imagine yourself very much alone, on a desert or a summit where it’s only you as far as the eye can see. This is the kind of space John Fahey’s music thrives in, where the spirit is released from tether, “in which every detail stands out clearly against an immense and eternal landscape” as Gerritt Graham describes Fahey in Fusion magazine. Most of the songs on After the Ball are written for the guitar. Which seems only natural since Fahey's been playing the instrument since he was thirteen. He's grownup with it in his hands, With his masterful fingers, while his ears have been glued to the groundswell of blues and the classics. Whats come forth is a uniquely varied product of blues/ clasical/ folk capable of transporting the listener to tonal heavens via a carpet of-pure harmony. Fahey’s music is derived from experience that continually transpires. What Fahey himself observes may best describe his dedication to his instrument: WKBW t PURCHASE RADIO I HARVEY A S OORKY PRESENT FOCUS CONCERT An Incredible, Mind Blowing Experience from Holland AB0EB ATTRACTION: “RUSH” FM. f AUG. 3, 1973 at 9:00 pm CENTURY THEATRE, BUFFALO, N.Y.

The Spectrum Friday, 27 July 1973 . RECORDS “I am quite free with my guitar. But I am not free of it. 1 myself am no freer than one of the strings on it.” A list of song titles would mean very little in respect to what goes on inside this album. The songs are consummate and primordial, tying together the threads of confederate and Yankee, black and white music. Melody is spontaneous with each pick and strum from Fahey’s guitar, while time seems to stop so that nothing will interefere with the focus on the notes. With John Fahey there is no such thing as a paraphrase; nothing can be treated lightly and first we have to be able to enunciate. In 1959 Fahey recorded his first album'on his own Takoma label. The title Blind Joe Death comes out of The New York Rock Ensemble is not a brand new group. The average radio listener can remember hearing the group’s name before, but can’t recall what type of music they perform. Their music is a blend of contemporary rock movements and classical orchestration with dismal pop lyrics. Yep, they try to cover it all and that’s why they will always be in an undeserving position of, “Yeah, I’ve heard of the group, but I can’t remember their sound.” I say undeserving mainly because their musical talents are quite superior. “Credit Card” is the best song on Michael Kamen-New York Rock. The song is a quick Latin number that is sung by Dennis Whitted (the drum and conga player) in good Jamaican fashion. The song is about this dude who is running out of town after going on a rampage with his credit card. ‘Must pack my bag and leave the town. They got my number. They lookin'for my trail They got my number. They after my sweet tail ’ Bright piece of plastic, glowin’ green Won't you lep me make the scene7 American expressive day. Please don’t take my card away. The cut starts out with an ARP Synthesizer and an English horn as an intro. Then, as the chorus comes in, they introduce all sorts of percussion instruments against a steady bass and congas. You can even hear the islanders screaming in the backround. “Winter Child” uses a cello and a “Bachian” harpsichord that combines for a mellow, relaxing sound. This sad ballad, about an inhibited young child, is sung very nicely by Michael Kamen. Kamen, who wrote both the lyrics and music for air the songs on the album, conveys a sad and lonely feeling both in his singing and harpsichord playing. “I Love You” is recorded to sound like an old love song that could have originated in the 1930’s. Kamen’s voice is made to sound faded (like an old recording). He GKMH MUM'• KHM Fahey’s associations with blues artists like Mississippi John Hurt and others who provided Fahey’s initial impetus to take up guitar. One hundred albums were pressed and it took three years to sell them. Fahey also produced Leo Kottke’s early Takoma outings. Since recording for Vanguard and Reprise, Fahey now has at least a dozen albums, many of them underrated, to his credit. Whosoever playeth the most effortless and effusive guitar shall inherit the earth. That’s what the book really means to say. John Fahey has probably traveled as many roads at night as any Greyhound bus driver, and as Nat Hentoff puts it, “the man’s a natural resource.” So if you’ve got any doubts about the communion of blues and classical guitar, lend Fahey your ears. If it were my funeral, I’d have John Fahey p)ay the guitar and Bessie Jackson (alias Lucille Bogan) sing “Shave ’Em Dry.” Michael Hudnut New York Rock Michad Kamer (Atco SD 7010) These days it seems very hard to look into every thing that is thrown at us.

We are always meeting new faces every day, so many in fact that many of the good people are never discovered.

The rest of the cuts on the album aren’t worth talking about. They are mainly love ballads with wishy-washy lyrics. The music that is put to them seems confined and forced. I sit there waiting for a change in melody or tempo, but I end up going to sleep because it never comes. How dull. I do want to point out Dave Sanborn’s sax break on “Hot As The Sun.” The solo is in good Bobby Keys fashion as he makes his sax cry and rock. Too bad they didn’t put Sanborn’s sax to better use on the rest of the album. -Sheldon Kamieniecki �NEW YORK I’ve spent many great evenings in Madison Square Garden. All those Knick playoff games, especially the clincher in 1970, will live in my memory forever. The Bangla Desh concert, two summers ago on my birthday, with George, Ringo, Eric, Leon and Mr. Zimmerman, was like a dream. So when 1 went to New York last weekend to catch the Allman Brothers Band at the Garden, there was a little tradition - involved. The tradition was shattered last Saturday night by six humans who play music as it is meant to be played; What distinguishes superior concerts, in my view, is the energy levels to which the band rises. Rather than simply recreating album cuts, which are probably better in the studio anyway, a great live band creates the music right there, each musician powering his instrument to greater and greater heights as the night progresses. People always talked that way about the Dead, years ago when they played all night, but nowadays it seems they’re just going through the motions. The Allman Brothers are like the new Dead they’re a live band, first and foremost, as Live at the Fillmore East will attest. Unfortunately, I’m a latecomer to the Brothers, coming after the untimely departure of Duane Allman, to who many albums endure as a memorial. Bass player Berry Oakley also died this year, so the new band has a new bass player and a pianist who takes many of Duane’s lines on the keyboard. And the new band sounds like they’ve been together for years. They were a little slow getting started, but soon shifted into second gear with “Done Somebody Wrong” and a song from the forthcoming album Brothers and Sisters (“It’ll be in your house in 5 or 6 days,” Gregg Allman informed us). Dicky Betts immediately established his Johanny Johanson and Butch Trucks on two sets of drums. Reproducing Duane’s sound Without slowing down, the Brothers sailed into their fust peak, Which they sustained for almost an hour. It was launched by a perfect version of “Stormy Monday,” with Gregg’s organ swelling like a tide, his voice strong and familiar, and Dicky Betts in total control of his instrument, weaving in and around the melody line. Following a piano break, the bass changed tempo and took off into a great organ break by Allman, with Betts playing syncopated rhythm guitar. Fast, slow or in-between, these guys can play the blues. Without a pause, the roving bass lines of ‘In Memory of Elizabeth Reed” launched the song, each, instrument strong and distinct, with guitar and organ usually slightly more prominent. The band became tighter by the minute, six minds working as one. Sky.” They don’t usually do it because Duane was such an important component, and there was a noticeably missing element. But the pianist played Duane’s lines, as in other songs, often in harmony with Betts’ lead guitar. Dicky also sang lead vocal, with Gregg on harmony, and his enlongated guitar break was pure ecstacy. Flitting his way around the melody, Dicky displayed complete mastery while entrancing 20,000 pairs of ears. They finished up the first set with “One Way Out,” also from Eat a Peach a tight smooth number with rhythmic drum fills, and Betts climbing higher and higher with riffs, picky’s swift and tasty notes literally leap out of the song, and he fills each space perfectly when the band stops. After a double drum break by Johanson and Trucks, Gregg’s voice wails out at the end “Oh baby I just don’t know” and the first set ended in an uproar. During the break, it dawned on me that this was one of those rare , ever seen. In fact, I began to suspect he was God. He is incredibly precise, has total control of the guitar, and displays a repertoire of styles which are as imaginative as they are diverse. - ' < priest br and same ne’s s no high in to was had “Statesboro Blues” began the second set, and if you closed your eyes you’d swear Duane Allman was on the stage, but it was Dicky in disguise, playing amazing riffs up and down the guitar and making it twang like a slide. “Ain’t Wastin’ Time” featured a strong vocal by Gregg, whose organ added color and flavor to every song, and tasty riffs by Betts, filling each space precisely. Next was a new Betts composition, and he let loose, turning his volume knob way up and filling the Garden with powerful iriffs and weeping high almost every song. Unleashing riffs like a tightly coiled spring, Betts took a 5 minute solo alone with the full band punctuating the last note of each guitar, phrase, leading into a raunchy blues standard. Next came a steadily building cacophony of sounds exploding into “Les Brers in A Minor,” with the bass taking off first and organ, piano, guitar and double drums following, tight as all hell and reaching a crescendo of musical energy. - A tumultuous ovation later, the Allman Brothers came back for their kind of encore: a 45-minute emotional experience called “Whipping Post.” They took it far beyond even the 22-minute Fillmore East version; it was blues at its best. All six were in high gear, but Dicky was in total control, trading question & answer phrases with the piano (and later Gregg’s voice), playing counterpoint to the entire band. And when he takes off, the band follows, as his guitar pushes them to higher and higher energy levels. Thousands of raised matches and a 7.9 on the Richter scale called the Brothers back for a second encore, a tasteful rendition of “Mountain Jam,” with Dicky’s lead notes sounding like a rippling brook. When the lights finally went on after 3Vi hours of music and two encores, the audience was numb, emotionally drained from this rare experience. If this review is overly stocked with superlatives, it’s a frustrated writpr’s attempt to describe an experience for which words are woefully inadequate. Anyone not familiar with their work is vehemently urged to check out Eat a Peach for a start. The notes.

Superstar is a very fine production, but a few flaws are evident. Not the least of these is in the character of Jesus. Mr. Neeley has a rock star’s voice which is most fruitful when shrieking. This characteristic detracts from the sensitivity of the character and creates the impression that he is most expressive when he is silent. Another of the movie’s faults is the time contrast. A very effective tool at times, it proves, as the film progresses, to be more of an idle prop than a significant factor. Any analogy that Mr. Jewison attempts to draw between latter-day and present-day Jerusalem is lost. Yet Superstar w(ll triumph. Mr. Iscovc’s correography, considering that his stage was heat, sand and rock, is spectacular. Douglas Slocombe’s photography deserves an Oscar, as he worked against almost insumountable odds, shooting into the glaring desert sun, and producing some magnificent results.

Jesus’ first coming Set in the stifling Israeli desert, this acid anachronism begins to unravel before our eyes. Actor Ted Neeley is the first to emerge. He is easily recognized by his thin bear, white coak, and by the homage paid to him by all but one man, who slips off into the dunes. This man, a trusted aide and friend to Jesus, is the one who will later betray him. Carl Anderson begins to portray Judas Iscariot. In an aside to the audience, he renders a sympathetic aria; “Heaven on Their Minds” is a desperate plea to Christ to come down to reality. Anderson’s strong, melodious voice rings out from the depths of his heart. We can feel the confusion in Judas’ soul. Since Superstar is an opera based on the last seven days of Christ’s hfe, the costuming and the words to the songs are the only clue to any background information.

We are awarding him a free subscription as a gesture we hope the Common Council will duplicate. Attention: Mayor’s Committee in City Hall: On May 31, 1973, 1 submitted a letter to the Common council advising them that 1 wanted free transportation for the blind, and ID cards, like the senior citizens have for discounts to theaters and amusements, but I was turned down. They notified me at the meeting (2/26/73) that the cards were only good for 60 years and older, and the NFT cards were only good for 55 years and older. I think that the Mayor’s Committee should give the same rates to handicapped people as they do to senior citizens. I hope this will make them understand the way I feel. Name Withheld More library hours To th6 editor. A well staffed and facilitated library constitutes an integral component of any person’s academic career. It. appears, however, that SUNYAB has forgotten this. As a presently enrolled summer school student, I have found the library hours on this campus extremely limited and most inconvenient. I’m sure many people would greatly appreciate extended services, especially on the weekends. I also feel, after numerous occuring instances, the Lockwood staff should be reminded that the library closes on the hour, and not when “the big hand” of the clock is on the 9 or 10. Thank you. Randi Bernstein Channelling Aggression To the editor. I am writing this letter in response to the article which' appeared last week entitled “War Gamers Rewrite History”. As one of the founders and members of the Historical Conflict Simulations Club of UB (it is not called the Wargames Club), I feel the article has partially misrepresented what the games are all about. This is somewhat understandable as in my experience the uninitiated rarely fully appreciate how the games work. This has also led to my being misquoted, which I care to clarify. As stated the games may transport one back to another era by recreating its battles, but I (and I speak for all “gamers”) never “...become Napoleon, Hitler,.Stalin.” What I tried to convey to The Spectrum reporter was that one can simulate being in the position of having to make a decisive decisioji that could determine the course of history for centuries. Nobody, I’m sure, who has any sense of morals would care to identify with the above eyil, egocentric maniacs. War games are very simitar to sports, such as football. However, unlike footbal, there is never any aggression between players, be it physical, mental or verbal (as there is in football and other sports). The aggression (a better word would be contest) is directed into the abstract, that is, the playing pieces and the mapboard. Here chess would be a analogy. Indeed, how much better the world would be if aggression would be channeled into abstract forms that bring people together on peaceful afternoons to play games and have fun. Blaine Mischel member Historical Conflict Simulations Club by Janas Cromer Editor’s note: The following is the first of a two-part commentary on “Women as a Political Force. This section is devoted to the tradition of women’s participation in politics and the myths which cloud the facts concerning women voters. ’’ Apparently, many women still feel that they will choke if they breathe the air of smoke-filled political backrooms. And more importantly, the doors to those higher echelons of political life remain reluctant to open up to female aspirants. Since 1920, oihly 66 women have been elected to the U.S. Congress, and over half of these women had husbands who had served in Congress before them. Usually, a woman’s face has appeared on the House or Senate floor because she had a “widow’s mandate” to serve out her recently-deceased husband’s term of office. Of course, this meant voting only according to the departed loved one’s wishes. At the lower levels of political life, the state or local political party organizations, women have been stuffing relegated to the most menial tasks envelopes, ringing doorbells, holding tea or coffee parties (coffee for the Democrats; tea for the sophisticated Republicans). And women, as mere voters with no designs on political office, have been the topic of much unfounded conjecture. These are a few of the inaccurate beliefs about women voters shared by men and women alike: —Women are too concerned with home and family matters. They don’t really want to get into politics. y-Women vote exactly like their husbands. -Women are more conservative than men. Women’s increasing interest in politics as well as the greater acceptability of women voters is reflected in the continual rise in the' proportion of women who actually go to the polls. In 1920, only a third of eligible women voted in the presidential election. By the 1960’s, women’s voting percentage approached that of men. According to the Census Bureau, 69.9% of all eligible females turned out to vote in the Humphrey-Nixon race, compared to 72 per cent of the eligible males. (Incidentally, more women than men identify with the Democratic Party. If women had gone to the polls in the same proportion as men did in 1968, Hubert Humphrey, not Richard Nixon, would have been in the White House.) Well, the women are voting more, but why doesn’t this voting increase result in more women as political “activists" and as candidates? According to a 1972 Harris poll, three out of five women questioned felt that -women should be more politically active, but only one in six was actually aptive. The reason for their reluctance? Involvement in politics means forsaking their “fixed” roles as mothers and wives. Women resent being given the “dirty" work of politics. And one woman in four believes that women are being actively kept out of the arena. More and more evidence is accumulating which points out that women, contrary to what political analyst Maurice Duverger has said, do not “accept political paternalism on the part of men.” Women are no longer accepting men as “the mediators between them and the political world.” — •>. The Princeton class of 1962 was polled ten years after graduation. A similar poll was sent to the graduates’ wives. “Politically, the Princeton man is a liberal Republican,” the study concluded, “and will accordingly vote for Nixon in 1972.” The wives, on the other hand, favored Muskie over Nixon by almost two-to-onc. (When asked if their wives shared their political outlook, however, a full 88 per cent of the Princeton men answered “yes.”) Tn other research, women proved to be far less accepting of violence and U5. military activity inIndochina and more likely to support peace movement activities. They also have demonstrated less support of capital punishment, more support of gun control, as well as medical treatment for drug addicts instead of harsh prison terms. Women are voting differently from men. Pollster Louis Harris agrees: “Women are more inclined now to vote not only for their own self-interes", but for the interest of society, the world and most of all, out of compassion for humanity.”) The reputation for women’s conservatism stems most likely from strong female support for* Eisenhower. However, the polls indicate the support came more because of his Korean peace-making stance than from an image of the “conservative grandfather.” The Eisenhower tradition extended into I960, when women voted for Nixon over Kennedy, 54 per cent to 46 perccent. This fact may also serve to destroy the long-held notion that women will vote for the more sexually attractive candidate. 1964 brought a change to the women’s vote. Instead of following supposedly natural conservative yearnings, women voted 68 per cent for Johnson; a larger percentage than even Eisenhower had received* Apparently, women were not affected by the “era of the white backlash” as much as men. So, if women are not more conservative than men, and they are interested in politics, and they do vote differently from their husbands, why are there so relatively few women involved in politics expressing these divergent, less conservative views? Women are still combatting the traditional beliefs which require politics to be a man’s field. They are still being educated to spend their lives passively and children-filled. Powerless groups need to coalesce if they arc to gain any power. So far, women’s political attempts have not succeeded in making the woman in her kitchen at 210 Maple Street, Suburbia, USA realize her commonality with the woman in her 60-hour a week maid job at Apartment 3-G, Urban, USA. The polls have said: In 1937, 37 per cent of those polled would vote for a woman for president; in 1969, 54 per cent of those polled said they would vote for a woman presidential candidate; and in 1971,66 per cent of the poll sample voted “thumbs up!” for a woman president. These indicators show only that people feel they can no longer joke freely about a female president who they claim would install lace around the edge of the presidential seal, proclaim Mother’s Day a national holiday, and win over the foreign diplomats by her home cooking. These statistics reveal only how people feel they ought to respond, not what they will actually do at the polls. Whereas it is not socially acceptable to withhold political approval solely on the basis of sex, it remains an individually accepted and widely practiced phenomenon.

But the Foreign Minister, announced that Peru’s decision would not prevent the French government from going ahead. France did not expect any other of the Latin American countries that protested the tests to follow Peru’s lead. Greece to holdreferendum Greece’s military-backed government is urging citizens to vote for President George Papadopoulos’ new republic in a referendum this Sunday. Mr. Papadopoulos called for the referendum two months ago when he dethroned exiled King Constantine and set up a republic with himself as its first president. Opposing the Papadopoulos regime, a committee for the restoration of democratic legality said the referendum is unfair because of the existence of martial law and the supervision of results by government workers. They said that a “no” vote, even it it fails to show in the official results, will be a moral victory that eventually may bring down the dictatorship. year later that the United States was doing nothing to violate Cambodian neutrality, according to his classified testimony. When asked at the time about the United States’ role in Cambodia, testimony showed that Mr. Rogers had declared: “Cambodia is one country where we can say with complete assurance that our hands are clean and our hearts are pure.” . Census shafts blacks Criticism was levied against the Census Bureau this week for not counting two million black persons, most of whom lived in New York City, in its 1970 census. The National Urban League said the undercounting meant that in terms of political representation, the two million blacks lost the equivalent of five Congressmen. Because the census figures are used to determine Congressional representation and allocations of federal funds, the League sees them as crucial. League Director Robert Hill estimated that the Bureau’s “deficient procedures” cost New York State about $15.1 million in revenue sharing funds. Hospital bombing admitted A former Air Force officer said he participated in the planned bombing of a Vietcong hospital in South Vietnam in 1969. The incident took place about a month after the United States began its secret B-S2 bombing of Cambodia. The bombing was a violation of the >1949 Geneva accords prohibiting the destruction of hospitals, religious or cultural buildings. Additionally, international law respected by the United States forbids the use of cruel or inhumane tactics of warfare unrelated to normal military objectives. Sen. Harold Hughes (Iowa) said he would demand that the ex-officer testify before a Senate hearing “to make a determination of the existing circumstances that could have called for us to deliberately bomb hospitals.” t Nixon subpoened The White House said earlier this week that President Nixon would abide by the ultimate decision of the courts in hjs decision to prevent the release of the recordings of his private conversations on Watergate. Archibald Cox, special prosecutor for the Senate Watergate Committee, served subpoenas to Mr. Nixon, demanding access to tapes and other Presidential documents. Mr. Nixon has three options open to him in dealing with the subpoenas; to comply with, annul or ignore them. As The Spectrum went to press,, it was unknown what the President’s decision would be, although one was due yesterday. Beef shortages expected The Cost of Living Council’s Food Advisory Committee said this week that there soon would be shortages of beef on the nation’s meat counters. The owner of a Chicago supermarket chain predicted that the slaughter of beef would be down 20 per cent next week, calling it a natural reaction of cattle owners being singled out by the recent federal food price regulations. Those rules permitted prices to rise to reflect increases in farm prices in all foods but beef. These ceilings will be in effect until September 12. ‘Secret’ bombings never admitted Secretary of State William Rogers, who participated in the decision to begin the “secret" bombing of Cambodia in March 1969, assured the Senate Foreign Relations Committee more than a Nixon endorsement not needed Vice President Spiro T. Agnew said that if he runs for the Presidency in 1976, he would not need President Nixon’s backing because “1 really don’t think that it means a great deal." Mr. Agnew said he feels “personal relief” at not being involved in Watergate. He said the President should answer the charges"against him, but not in “the frantic atmosphere” of a free-wheeling news conference. LOCAL Referendum for Center approved The Buffalo Common Council unanimously approved placing on the November 6 ballot a referendum concerning a $3 million bond issue for beginning construction of a $14 million downtown convention , center. Councilwoman-at-large Alfreda Slomlnski said she “will actively campaign against the downtown convention center,” noting that when the Council originally approved the $3 million bond issue, she was “very leery of this whole, whole deal.” PRE-CANA SESSIONS August 7 &9 7i30p.m. Phone 834-2297 Newman Center Illfc fy. 15 University Ave. (across from Hayes Hall) js’vi Will fulfill pra-marriaga requirement for Catholic students/faculty .The Si ,27 July 1973 Academic Affairs Vice President Bernard Geibaum, chairman of the Academic Affairs Council. Non-traditional study urged by AAC plan An academic plan proposal drafted by the Academic Affairs Council (AAC) has called for the University to direct its future towards a stronger commitment wo society and non-traditional programs of study. Presently being considered by the President, the Faculty-Senate and several other University, constituencies, the plan stresses the development of major undergraduate, divisions graduate, professional and to meet continuing education the future needs of the University. Resources essential for improving present Division of Undergraduate Studies (DUS) activities, the report states, include: (1) additional staff and — - equipment to improve advisement; (2) financial support for the Special Major and Bulletin Board courses; (3) an office in DUS to develop educational innovations such as experimental Theater Research, American Culture and Medieval Studies. “A new director for the Colleges is a current and urgent priority,” states the report. While acknowledging that the Colleges have a high priority for “maintenance at a viable level,” the report noted: “The present level of support is approximately one-fourth that of comparable traditional programs and should be doubled in order to maintain an environment of about the same size but with a reasonable chance of success.”^ Discussing the Faculty of Engineering and Applied Science, the report suggested that “priorities for maintenance of point to Chemical, quality Civil and Industrial Engineering.” Additionally, “the Center for Process Metallurgy and the Center for Water Resources have a high priority for development. New ... efforts Transportation, in courses within the Colleges; and S o c i o Engineering, and (4) establishment of one or more Bio-Engineering are expected to model colleges at the freshman or become relatively more important in the future.” sophomore level. - Graduate support According to the report, the University’s Graduate Division requires more adequate student support. In recruiting graduate students, special attention should be paid to' educationally students; disadvantaged “Assistance to and coordination of inter- or multi-disciplinary activity of this division,” the report states. The Division of Continuing Education will seek to enhance its undergraduate degree program. Additionally, a Study Center far Adult Higher Education was recommended to provide the chance for “lifelong learning" and research in adult higher education. Referring to the Faculty 'pf ‘Geology needs strengthening’ In the Faculty of Natural Science and Mathematics* Biology, Chemistry arid Computer Science maintain high priorities. “Geology needs strengthening and Mathematics,’’ the report emphasized. “Physics and Statistics are essentially on hold.” According to the report, the Faculty of Social Sciences and Administration “has a priority for support in improving loads,” while the Black teaching program is reorganizing and will need a new director. In Educational Studies, “Chairman for Social, Philosohpical and Historical Foundations and Instruction are current priorities” which should Arts and Letters, which includes soon be met.

Varied in content and objectives, such programs are aimed towards different groups with different needs. One such University program. Upward Bound, has for the past eight yean given disadvantaged high school youths the opportuniy to acquire skills necessary for college. Critical to the program is that participants live on campus for approximately two months, enabling academic pursuits to be supplemented with the experience of univenity life. Although many of the participants are initaillly unsure of their career goals. Upward Bound Director Robert Baum said that college opportunities once opened to disadvantaged youth during the 1960’s are decreasing. ‘There is less support for these students. For a student to be successful, he has to be prepared” while still in high school, he said. This summer, the program consists of 80 students who are divided into bridge and non-bridge groups. Those in non-bridge groups are currently enrolled in high school, whereas the former group are recent high school graduates who will enter college in the fall. Although unaccustomed to the college work load, a majority of students are strongly determined to successfully complete the program. According to participant Michael McCalla: ‘There is a whole lot of work to do, but it doesn’t bother me. I came here to learn.” the courses bang offered are African-American history, computer programming, photography, philosophy, political science and psychology. Many students who begins the program during the 10th grade return during succeeding years until they begin college, Mr. Baum said. Although Federal subsidies for many similar programs have been “drastically reduced,” the fact that Upward Bound has received an increase in funds over last year indicates its viability and success, said Mr. Baum. To determine its benefits, diagnostic tests are given to students before and after the summer program. Many students show improvements in reading and study skills, but these gains are often not apparent in their high school grades, Mr. Baum said. However, “statistics indicate that 75% of former Upward Bound participants are fully matriculated in various colleges, with 50% continuing onto graduate school,” he noted. Tomorrow, Upward Bound students will participate in the annual “Ail Scholastic and Olympics Day” at the University of Rochester. The event allows Upward Bound students from different institutions to exchange ideas as well as providing competition in track and other sporting events. “Last year UB walked away with most of the trophies,” Mr. Baum noted, although stressing that interaction and not competition was the principal purpose of the games_ .<iy Youdrim agt you’re having fun.

Additionally, the decided to Department continue freezing funds for sterilization of such persons until the regulations go into effect. They will be published September I, at which time public comment will be sought. The guidelines for minors and legal incompetents and the impoundment of funds were prompted by the recent sterilization of two young black girls in Montgomery, Alabama. (See The Spectrum, July 20.) The guidelines, which HEW Secretary Caspar Weinberger said “constitute an instruction to the concerned HEW agencies to develop regulations for V Conn. 06820 Yago Sant'Gria T-shirts P.O.

The guidelines call for the review committees to consist of five members, chosen by the program or project authorities, but not connected with the program or project. Additionally, they require that members be able to deal with the medical, legal, social and ethical issues of sterilization. Both sexes must be represented, with at least one member of the committee a representative of the local interests. The Montgomery sterilizations took place under the auspices of the Office of Economic Opportunity (OEO). HEW took over the Montgomery clinic and similar clinics last June 1. The recent sterilizations have led to the disclosure of 80 cases in which certain of the 3260 federal agencies sterilized minors. The girls and their mother allege that they were not told of the operation beforehand and thought their consent was for birth control shots. The agency, on the other hand, claims to have explained to them prior to the operation. A major question, however, is whether the agency should have permitted the mother to speak on the girls’ behalf, since they knew at the time she was illiterate. The girls’ family has filed a $1 million suit against the agency and the federal government, which California Attorney Melvin Belli will try. Former chief of the OEO’s family planning division Warren Hern said he had drawn up guidelines which would have prevented the Montgomery controversy, but they were never used. When asked why HEW did not use the OEO guidelines as their own, one HEW official said they were discriminatory because they included an outright prohibition of sterilization for those covered by the department’s , guidelines.

SajLJiff �Donohue conquers Can-Am after noon, the green flag fell and immediately the second Matra with Gerard Larousse and Henri Pescarolo as co—pilots shot into the lead with Merzario right on his tail.Soon the red Ferrari passed the Matra as the two cars pulled away, leaving the field well behind. Six hours is a long time to run a race car at 115 mph. The pace soon slowed, but not Larousse regained the lead on Lap 16, never again to give it up. Just after the start, Cevert and the Jacky Ickx-Brian Redman Ferrari tangled coming out of a corner, forcing the Frenchman into the pits. By Lap 30 only the Larousse—Pescarolo Matra and the three Ferraris were on the same Two major international races highlighted the events last weekend at the Watkins Glen Grand Prix Course near the usually-tranquil central New York village. Saturday featured the Glen Six-Hours, a long distance sports car race similar to the 24 Hours of Le Mans. The Glen Can-Am was held on Sunday to cap a weekend of frolicking, laughter, drinking, smoking and assorted other forms of partying that can take place with some 75,000 people. Over 30 cars and some 60-odd drivers competed in Saturday’s race featuring everything in sports cars from screaming-engined Matras to lumbering Corvettes. The interest focused around the two prime contenders for the World’s Manufacturing Championship, Matra of France and Ferrari. To date, Matra has won 4 of the 9 races to 2 wins for Ferrari, but 4 second-place finishes for the Italian marque put them ahead in the point totals. lap, everyone else already having been passed. But the race was already essentially over. Try as they might, the Ferraris could not keep up with the faster car and fell behind. The name of the game is reliability and Matra proved it had plenty of that by going the 672 miles at an average speed of 111.9 mph under the skillful hands of its two French pilots. Despite a large effort, Ferrari was stung by the Matra win, and Matra's showing this season has all but erased memories of last year’s Ferrari dominance. Matra mania Matra, in typical faihion, filled the front row of the starting grid with Jean—Pierre Beltoise and Francois 'Cevert in the pole position.

No. 6 Friday, 20 July 1973 State University of New York at Buffalo Abernathy: I m not resigning from the movement in Crisis. After reading the beginning of the Declaration of Independence, he said the Founding Fathers had written a by John A. Fink Sptctnim Suff Writ? Recently-resigned president of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference (SCLQ, the Rev. Ralph David Abernathy, told a capacity crowd Tuesday night in the Fillmore Room that the American people had made a “mistake” last November by electing Richard Nixon. Rev. Abernathy accused Mr. Nixon of being insensitive to the needs of poor Americans by seeking to destroy all the programs for the poor created by Lyndon Johnson’s Great Society. Angered that costly space flights “So many of us sit in our air-conditioned homes and we drive our fine, fabulous cars and then we forget our brothers who are left behind. " were being financed at the expense of these programs, he said: “We shouldn't stand man on the moon until we first stand man on his feet down here on this earth. Agnew went around passing out moon rocks when he should be passing out loaves ofbread to hungry children.” “We have a sick man in the White House; sickness limited not only to pneumonia,” Rev. Abernathy continued "WeVe made a mistake, but since we made a mistake, we’ve got to correct that mistake by seeing to it that Richard Milhouse Nixon is impeached.” ‘Nation in Crisis’ Rev. Abernathy concentrated on the theme A Nation “The roots of racism are so deep in this country that White America would cut down any black leader, just as they did to Martin Luther King, Jr. ” lie because America has not lived up to its premise of equality for all. Discussing the downfall of great civilizations. Rev. Abernathy warned that we arc heading for the same fate that befell Ancient Rome, Greece, and in more modern times, Germany. ‘Their flaw,” he said, “was that they forgot the ordinary people, the masses.” However, the 47-year old leader warned that the problems of society are suffered by the middle and upper classes as well as by the poor. “Whether you are from down South or up South, you’re all sinking,” he said. ‘'We may not all have come on the same ship, but we are now sinking in the same boat.” Noting that less than one-fifth of the population controls over 90% of the nation’s wealth. Rev. Abernathy called for a more equitable distribution of resources. It is every person’s right to have a guaranteed annual wage, he said. Major Problems Major Problems The civil rights leader pointed out that Buffalo and New York State are plagued by major problems. He said urban renewal was more like “urban removal,’’referring to the fact that homes he had seen in Buffalo just a few years ago had been removed. Touching briefly on the Attica Also present on the podium was the Rev. Bennett Smith of Buffalo, active in the black movement for many years. Me described Rev. Abernathy as a quiet man “who never aspired for self-exhalta tion in the years he was Dr. King’s unhearkled right-hand man.” Speaking of an annonymous letter he received awhile ago detailing a plan to send blacks back to Africa (financing was also pledged in the letter). Rev. Abernathy said: “How the devil can you go back where you’ve never been. We arc Afro-Americans and America is our home.” He asserted that until other nationalities returned to their native homes and America was given back to the Indians, “I’m staying right here.” “Black people who now enjoy the fruits of our labors and occupy high-salaried positions should continue to contribute to the SCLC,” Rev. Abernathy said in reference to a widespread apathy that has plagued the black movement in recent years. Jails filled by poor Emphasizing that changes which were made were brought about by poor people, he said: “Remember, they filled the jails.” However, Rev. Abernathy was skeptical whether blacks would ever again invest all their support in any one personality as they did in Martin Luther King, Jr. However, he felt that should a leader emerge, he would probably suffer Dr. King’s fate. controversy,'he termed it a “shame and disgrace on the beautiful canvas of the American scene.” Health care was another crisis labelled as widespread by Rev. Abernathy. He was disgusted with the fact that many poor blacks are treated for diseases after it is too late to be cured. In contrast, he said that while he was in America spends billion for the moon, and only Sweden on a fund-raising campaign, firstrate medical treatment for his wife for an entire week had amounted to pennies for the poor. only $46.00. “Call it anything you like, any ism he said. “But Hike it!” Rev. Abernathy felt it was ui (fortunate that Dr. King’s Speaking briefly at the opening of the program, Buffalo Assemblyman Arthur Eve urged Rev, Abernathy iridow has created two sepan te organizations in her to reconsider his resignation.

It also charges that the sisters were sterilized, in part, because they were black. The .government, which had permitted the use of federal money for voluntary sterilization, has cut off all funds for surgical procedures. In the last IS months, according to reports, government-sponsored birth control clinics have sterilized at least 80 other minors. The clinics, 3260 in number, mostly serve the poor. The Montgomery-based clinic is said to have sterilized 11 girls, all minors, ten of them black and some mentally retarded. Mary, born with a speech impediment and without a right hand, is among the retarded. Some have speculated that Mary and others were sterilized for this reason. Yet, it is also contended that this was clearly an example of genocide against black people. However, this theory is quickly being discarded since the caseworkers at the clinic were themselves black. Noting the “particularly difficult ethical and legal problems,” Alan Guttmacher, president of the Planned Parenthood Federation of America (PPFA), issued a statement last week that “unflinching vigilance” must be paid “when the procedure being considered is sterilization, and when the patient concerned is uneducated, young, emotionally immature or mentally retarded.” by Ron Sandberg Managing Editor Montgomery, Alabama. Here is where it began. A black woman refused one day to surrender her bus seat to a white man and the civil rights movement was born. That was 18 years ago. ! Mongtbitiery, last week. Two black girls, one of them retarded; both legally minors, are sterilized by a federally funded fan>ily clinic. The clinic maintains it had permission from the girls’ mother. She insists otherwise: ‘They didn’t say anything about giving them no operation. They told me they were going to give shots.” Differing stories, serious charges. Who is telling the truth? Suit has been brought against the agency. Hearings have been scheduled. But somehow it seems that question will not be easily answered. Much is at issue here: racism, ethics and rights. Why were the girls sterilized? Was the operation, in fact, involuntary? Was there no alternative? Mary Alice, 12, had The two girls, Minnie Lee, been receiving an experimental, long lasting injectable contraceptive drug until it was withdrawn from use. Given tothem every 90 days, the shots were no longer authorized because some studies indicated they might cause Adverse side effects. Pill not suitable Both sexually active, the girls were in need of birth control. The agency felt that the girls were not disciplined enough to take the pill on schedule, nor were ready for coils. Sterilization seemed the best alternative. According to the clinic, the mother consented to the operation for the younger retarded girl by signing her name with a scrawly “X.” The older girl, however, signed the form herself since Alabama law permits competent persons 14 years or over to consent to their own medical care. The Who speaks for whom? However, the condition of the patient is not the only factor needing careful scrutiny. What about the parents and their ability to speak on behalf of the patient? Two members of Buffalo’s Planned Parenthoos Center, which is not connected with any federal agency, felt there was great need for both parent and patient to be considered. “If the caseworker saw the mother was illiterate, then it was pretty stupid to let her speak for her children.” Should the father have been brought in, or should the matter have been taken to other, more knowledgeable authorities, they asked. Speculating about the case, Jean Hutchinson, Public Relations director of the Buffalo center, tried to put herself in the agency’s place. “A parent brings in a sexually active child for birth control! What do you do? You can’t let a ‘baby’ have a baby. Do you want to give a 12-year-old child the pill? Some doctors don’t think this is medically sound. Any intra-uterine device at that age would be girls’ father said: “Nobody understood. Nobody understood. The girls had been getting birth control shots for some time, and the clinic’s nurses come here and saidd they wanted to give them some more. But they just took’em away instead and then taken the life right out of them. Nobody understood.” ‘There is no doubt in my mind that they all knew what was meant,” said Joseph Conklin, the agency’s director. “We explain everything and we don’t use words expelled. What’s the answer?” people can’t understand.” Noting that such problems would be erased if greater Reportedly illiterate, Mr. and Mrf. Relf, only belatedly figuring out what had happened, contacted a research and concern went into devising alternative means legal agency for the poor. It has in turn filed a $1 million of birth control, she stressed the need for stringent suit against the clinic’s director, the poverty-agency chief, guidelines in determining when sterilization is applicable. the surgeon who performed the operation and Howard Other questions such as “how minor is minor,” or “how Phillips, ex-director of the Office of Economic retarded must a patient be. before he is no longer able to speak for himself’ must also be considered. Opportunity. ' As for rules and regulations, most states now permit sterilization operations for mentally competent patients “as long as they submit voluntarily to surgery. Some states allow the sterilization of minors with parental consent, and a number of states empower courts to order sterilization of insane or retarded persons.” In Alabama, a law permitting parents to authorize surgery for their children is at the heart of the controversy. However, the law does not specifically deal with surgical sterilization. According to The New York Times, Warren Hern, former chief of program development and project evaluation for the agency’s family planning division, said he had drawn up a set of regulations concerning sterilization of minors and the mentally incompetent “that would have prevented the Montgomery controversy.” “After 1 had 25,000 copies printed and was ready to distribute them, somebody above me in Washington cried, ‘politics’ I could never find out just who and ordered all of them tucked away in a warehouse. I guess they’re still there.” !v Charging that the federal government did not take “adequate cognizance of the difficult issues involved where the sterilization of minors is to be considered,” 14 organizations, led by the National Council of Negro Women, have demanded a cutoff of all federal funds for sterilization of minors. Opposing such legislation, officials from the Department of Health, Education and Welfare (HEW) argued that this would conflict with some state laws permitting sterilization of minors in certain cases. — — - ; Protection of rights “What we are after is a set of rules that will not conflict with state laws, but would assure the rights of the individual,” a department spokesman said. Suggested was that a special panel be set up to approve sterilization of a minor. However, guidelines must be created to deal with mentally retarded patients. As Ms. Hutchinson pointed out: “Even this must be broken down into categories, such as are you dealing with ‘environmentally’ retarded children” where a better solution might be to change their locale.” Additionally, she asked whether it was permissible to sterilize the mentally retarded when considering that “a solution to meotal disorders may be found tomorrow. The mental problem of today may be trainable tomorrow.” Citing the “fundamental principles of voluntarism," Mr. Guttmacher has called for a working conference of representatives of consumers, legal, mental retardation and medical experts to recommend safeguards to protect against involuntary sterilization. The Relfs are prepared to testify this week before Sen. Edward Kennedy’s subcommittee on health. Georgia State Rep. Julian Bund stated: “It may have been a well-meaning act, but it strikes us as inhumane.” FWday, ?Q July 1973 The Spectrum Page three . . ' �ACLU threatens SA with pending law suit The Niagara Frontier Chapter of the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU), on behalf of the Buffalo Labor Committee, has threatened to file suit against the Student Association (SA) for alleged violations of the Fourteenth Amendment’s due process clause. In a letter addressed to SA President Jon Dandes, ACLU council Leonard Klaif maintained that the SA’s recent expulsion of the Labor Committee had been enacted without “written notification of charges.” The Student Association initiated its action after receiving reports that Labor Committee members had violently disrupted a meeting of the Martin Luther King, Jr. Coalition, injuring several members of the Buffalo Communist Party.' Also, Labor Committee spokesmen indicated to SA they would use force again if need be. At a controversial meeting of the Student Assembly soon afterward, a motion to revoke the Labor Committee’s Club Status because of a violent ideology “inconsistent with the goals of the Student Association” carried by a vote of 22-5. Contending that the Assembly meeting had been too hastily convened, Mr. Klaif said; “Before the recognition of a student group is revoked, [there must be] adequate time, at least five days, to prepare for the hearing.” Additionally, he said the decision was based on hearsay testimony at the expense of eyewitness accounts, a factor which prevented the organization from cross-examining its accusers. Violated guidelines Defending the SA’s action, Mr. Dandes said the Labor Committee’s “public admission of using violence to get its point across violated Student Association guidelines.” While admitting there was ho written notification of charges, he indicated the matter had been discussed with the Labor Committee at length over the telephone. Student Rights Coordinator Cliff Palefsky insisted the evidence was not of a hearsay nature. "When we spoke to members of the Labor Committee, they told us they would again use force if they saw fit,” he said. He agreed with Mr. Dandes’ assertion that such violent stances “did not fit into Student Activities Guidelines." Commenting on the threats of legal action, Mr. Palefsky said a court of law could not be convened until the case was first heard before the Student Judiciary and in the event of an appeal, before President Robert Ketter. “Before you go to a court of law, he said, you must exhaust all administrative remedies.” Before taking action, Mr. Dandes said he would await a recommendation from associate director of Student Affairs Ron Stein, before deciding on a course of action. Satisfactory hearing? Interviewed Wednesday by The Spectrum Dr. Stein maintained the outcome depended upon whether the prior Student Assembly hearing “satisfied the hearing that was required” and whether recognition was withdrawn because of a “violation of conduct.” Referring to a recent Supreme Court case, Healy v. James he said that by denying recognition to a local SDS group without a hearing, the administration of Central Connecticut State College had violated the due process clause of the Fourteenth Amendment. ‘The key issue here,” Dr. Stein noted, “was that the administration’s accusations were supported only by a fear of what SDS was saying. There was no evidence of misconduct. “We have to see if there was such misconduct and determine in our own minds whether the SA conformed to Healy y. James.” , TOPS ft BOTTOMS Mod Styles for Gups and Gals Come take the shirts right off our backs. Hundreds of short sleeve tops. 7,000 pairs of Bells, Jackets to match.

According to historical accounts, Waterloo was the scene of Napoleon’s final defeat by Wellington in 1815. But for two members of the War Games Club, which meets every Sunday at 2 p.m. in Norton Union, history was rewritten. Founded in 1971 by James Venn and Blaine Mischel, the club gives its members the opportunity to carefully plan and recreate famous battle scenes from world history. Members representing a cross section of society derive their enjoyment from playing a game that is “an intellectual challenge,” according to Mr. Venn Many war gamers, whose chosen fields include history, math, physics and computer science, are transformed into historical figures when they play Waterloo, Austeriitz, Gettysburg, and Stalingrad.For Mr. Mischel, the games represent “a way for somebody to transport themselves back in time, among those making decisive decisions in history a way to get out of the inundate world and become Napoleon, Hitler, Stalin.” Although full battle uniforms are not required, appropriate accents are often utilized for more historical effect. ... Swamps and rivers Some war game groups apparently practice “a form of hero worship,” Mr. Mischel remarked. A “German mystique abounds in some areas, and some clubs are even named after German battalions.” The games are purchased from both Avalon Hill and Simulations Publications Inc. (SP1), which considers itself “the only professional full-time conflict—simulation-game design firm in the U.S.” Each game is accompanied by written historical background, detailing the events which led to the battle and often includes the actual positions occupied by the opposing forces. A typical game board is covered by thousands of hexagons. Areas are marked according to various obstacles, swamps, rivers, mountains and deserts. Each player is given cardboard squares annotated with symbols representing infantry, weapons, air power, etc. The squares are also marked with numerals representing their contestants various strengths. However, complications may arise when determining the probable outcome of a given conflict. In these cases, additional explanations are often required. Blow up the world Players are free to determine their own strategy. In Nepoleon at Waterloo, the French forces are outnumbered as they were in actual history. As a further aid, dice are used in determining the variable odds. Realism is important to many war gamers, Mr. Mischel explained: “In the playing of a game it is often important to ■ recreate the situations. Real battles are often lost by human stupidity, which a real war gamer would be incapable of.” The realism in some games often prevents a player from participating. One Vietnam veteran refusted to play a war game which stimulated the Easter Offensive by North Vietnam against the South. He felt it was “too realistic.” Recent issues of Strategy and Tactics, a magazine for war gamers, published by SPI, include articles explaining the effectiveness of armored weapons and the vulnerability of ships during World War II. These details, according to Jim Dunningan, President of SPI, “represent an interesting way to approach history.” Players often learn of the recurrence of past decisions in present-day warfare. According to one player, “these same decisions are made by generals today.” Not all war games deal specifically with battles. The Origins of World War II is a diplomatic game utilized by mahy teachers because it provides an opportunity for students to visualize the relationships between nations. Some war games are played through the mail by players whose identities may be Brazil, Germany, or Togoland. One such game, ‘Nuclear Destruction, involves the use of diplomatic spies, control of small nations, secret treaties and the sale of nuclear weapons. Players who form treaties receive diplomatic messages from their allies informing them of the latest battles. Playing the entire game Mr. Mischel believes “may take years” and will conclude when one nation is left with 1 million inhabitants and all others are destroyoyed. �cret tapes withheld Senate threatening to subpoena Nixon tapes New town by new campus Audobon given the go-ahead After four years of planning and bickering, the state Urban Development Corp. (UDC) and the Amherst Town Board signalled the go-ahead for the first phase of residential construction in Audobon, the planned community just north of the new Amherst Campus now under construction. At a Town Board meeting last Monday, approval was granted for plans for a 60-acre section of the $500 million new town, removing the last obstacle in the way of major development. Audobon is to be a meticulously planned expanse of 2000 acres housing an estimated 27,500 residents in 9000 housing units. Construction will be continued in phases for another 15 years, according to the latest UDC estimate. Action began last February on the “infrastructure” of the UDC project, consisting of Clearing, grading and drainage and pond excavation. This is in preparation for the development of roads, walkways and major utilities to serve Audobon. v UDC University The town will Schoelles Rd. on southern edge - arrangement be bordered by the north, the of the State University campus on the south. Sweet Home Rd. on the west and Campbell Blvd. and Ellicott Creek on the east. Included within those borders is the entire Amherst campus labelled by planners the “Campus Extension.” By virtue of the “Campus Extension,” UDC reserves the right to build on the new campus if it enters into agreement with the State University of New York. Arrangements are still in the discussion stage, however UDC is known to be eyeing favorably the prospects for non-University student housing construction in specially designated areas of the campus. There is presently a paucity of student housing planned for the Amherst area. Groundbreaking for the first residential construction site is targeted for the end of July, says David F. Parker, Audobon general manager. A community center, plus 314 housing units, are planned for the section. Almost half of the first block of housing will be subsidized through federal and state financing, however only about 20% of the rents in the new town will be subsidized. Three levels of authority Subsidies can reduce rental payments up to approximately one-quarter of a family’s income. The lowest annual income allowed for eligibility is $5400 for one and from $7500-58300 for a family of four. One novel feature stressed by UDC spokesman Wolfgang Rosenberg is the structure of community authority for the project now in the process of legal finalization. Facilities in Audobon will be subject to one of three levels of authority: public ownership of the town, common ownership of community associations, and the individual responsibility of the private resident. ' The Senate Watergete Committee has given President Nixon “just a very short period of time” to reply to its request for presidential tape recordings, and has indicated that it will subpoena the tapes if the President invokes the doctrine of executive privilege and refuses to surrender them voluntarily. The request came after Mr. Nixon ordered the Secret Service to withhold all information regarding the tapes from the committee. The committee is seeking the tapes, which recorded virtually all of President Nixon’s conversations since 1971, to verify Watergate-related charges about possible presidential involvement. A White House spokesman asserted that Mr. Nixon considered the tapes to be “Presidential documents” and would withhold them according to the same doctrine of executive privilege which the White House previously inovked in refusing to surrender presidential papers. Archibald Cox, the special Watergate prosecutor, also plans to ask for the tapes, and since he is a member of the executive branch, the separation of powers doctrine might presumably be inappropriate to bar him from obtaining the tapes. All conversations taped Sensitive listening devices were placed in the Chief Executive’s Oval Office, his hideaway in the Executive Office Building and in The town will own and operate the Cabinet Room, and taps were major parks, pathways, roads and in those offices and storm drainage facilities.

Mr. Nixon has ordered the Secret Service not to describe the listening system, say how the tapes are stored or who has access to them. As to whether the tapes would be released to the Senate Watergate Committee, deputy press secretary Gerald Warren said: “I am not able to comment.” President Nixon is scheduled to meet with Committee chairman Senator Sam Ervin, Jr., to resolve the availability of Presidential papers to the committee. The disclosure of the tapes should widen the scope of their discussion. Senator Howard Baker (R., Tenn.), the committee’s ranking Republican, said the tapes were “enormously important” and the committee should have access to them. l Automatically triggered The tape recordings, disclosed in dramatic testimony Monday, have thus become the focus of the Senate investigation as to what role President Nixon may have played in the Watergate cover-up. The basic issue is “what meetings did occur and what conversations took place,” said Samuel Dash, the committee’s chief counsel. “We kpow that there are records of those meetings,” Mr. Dash said. “1 don’t have to draw the line underneath and add it up.” All of Mr. Dean’s discussions with the President were said to have taken place in presidential offices where recording devices were triggered “automatically” by conversation, according to Mr. Butterfield. He insisted that their purpose was to make precise records available “for posterity, the Nixon library.” Under questioning by Senator Herman Talmadge (D., Ga.), Mr. Butterfield said the President’s guests were not told they were being taped. “A congressman or or a senator or Mr. governor Private Citizen?” asked Sen. Talmadge. “No,” replied Mr. Butterfield. ... E66 SPECIAL ! Served Mori, thru Fri. Until 11 a.m. and Sun. thru Thurs.

Friday, 20 July 1973 The Spectrum Page five . . �IRIAT Lies Credibility gap became a hackneyed phrase a long time ago. It generally meant inflating enemy casualty figures and a falsified incident now and then at the time it became cliche. But for all the public cynicism and downright public acceptance about government lying, Richard Nixon has breathed new meaning into the phrase. The euphemistic "gap" term can no longer be applied to an administration that has put its own personalized patent on lying. As the headlines announced that up to 4000 secret bombing raids against Cambodia took place in 1969 and 1970, the reaction of a public numbed by the torrent of Watergate disclosures was somewhat less than outraged. So another administration position had been declared "inoperative." Yet this comes from an administration which asked the world to believe, against eyewitness accounts and photographs from French and Swedish journalists, that it was not bombing civilian towns or dikes. The world did not believe. The world was right. Lest it be said that the falsehoods were the handiwork of a few rebellious generals, note that spokesman Jerry Friedheim (the Pentagon's Ron Ziegler) admitted that the falsified reports to prevent disclosure of the raids were "fully authorized" by President Nixon. This is the same Jerry Friedheim who asked us to believe we were not bombing civilian targets. This is the same President Nixon who is asking us to believe he knew nothing of Watergate. The disclosure of sensitive tape recording devices and tapped telephones in the Oval Office, Camp David and other locales should tell us something about the man who insists he t 1 v was horrified by the bugging of the Watergate. How will he explain to various Prime Ministers, Presidents and other heads of state that their confidential summits at the White House were actually being taped? How will he explain to the assorted governors, senators, officials and citizens that their private talks with him were recorded? How can the American people even hope that he knew nothing of Watergate when his own phones were tapped, his own office bugged? They can't, and they don't: 71% of the American people believe Mr. Nixon was involved in Watergate, at least on the cover-up level. Yet less than two in ten feel he should be impeached. This amounts to an endorsement of the most deceitful President in history. Any remedies we might recommend are easily rendered "Inoperative" by Presidential lying. Congress is considering a vital War Powers bill, but how can it assert its war-making responsibilities when fabricated reports are sanctioned by the Chief Executive? How can it be sure that the August 15 bombing deadline will be adhered to when 4000 raids on Cambodia have already been covered up? In our world negotiations, must foreign visitors to the White House feel inhibited by hidden bugs? How will they regard the word of a man proven time and again to be a fraudulent liar? ' > a •. . * * , What of federal government promises to the people of our nation? Americans are discovering that last November they re-elected a man whose staff systematically subverted a national election, tampered with trials, burgled offices, spied on dissidents and harassed political enemies. A man who bugs his own office. A man who secretly bombs villages. A liar. After Nazism was cleansed from Germany the citizens said, "we didn't know." Americans will have no such excuse. If they allow Richard Nixon to t'emain in office, they will sanction all that he has done. It will be said, "they knew, but they didn't care." History is watching. 'HO, YOU MAY NOT QUOTI Ml AS SAYINO THI MISIDINT HAS A SUOI' CAC responds it not have been made more to the benefit of Community Action Corps. Moreover, that some of To the Editor. Unfortunately, I obtaine; only this week a copy of The Spectrum of 8 June 1973. Yet, I still find it a necessity to respond at this late date to an article in issue, “CAC projects must benefit the students,” because the matter is troublesome for all that student organizations. As The Spectrum article correctly pointed out. Community Action Corps is funded by mandatory student fees and is therefore subject to SUNY Board of Trustees Rules and Regulations for use of mandatory student fees. These guidlines state in part, that mandatory student fees may be used for programs of a “benefit to the campus community” and of “educational, cultural, social, and recreational value” to students on SUNY campuses. According to this document, the administration of each SUNY campus is to designate a person to enfore these rules. During the spring semester, 1973, Community Action Corps was singled out for a narrow, conservative interpretation of these vague guidelines by the University designee. Until that time, CAC had not been bothered at all by the administration; in fact, it even experienced moments of tacit approval. For example, in December, Vice-President Albert Somit referred to it as “the missionaries of the University”; earlier in 1972, President Robert Ketter, on a local television show, mentioned CAC as an example of what the University is doing for Buffalo. In March, however, the expenditures of CAC suddenly began to be questioned. Under the pretense that CAC was not spending money directly for the benefit of U/B students, most of its REP’s were held up. At one point, CAC was so harassed it could not pay the bills for its movie program because the REP’s did not state explicitly that the films were shown in Capen 140. It is incomprehensible to me why an administration that, dt one time lauded CAC and still ostensible supports it (“Dr. Lorcnzetti had great praise for the good intentions of CAC volunteers .”) would suddenly reverse itself and attempt to curtail the organization’s activities. Rather, we would expect it to assist us. There is nothing in the SUNY Board of Trustees guidlines that states that an organization’s expenditures must be made directly to the benefit of students. If an admittedly “arbitrary administrative decision” had to be made why could ... CAC’s programs bear no relevance to the University is highly disputable. It is not at all reassuring to read that Dr Lorenzetti never sought to place CAC’s budget in jeopardy. The officers of Community Action Corps at all times perceived the administration’s actions as a direct threat to CAC’s operation. It is true, as The Spectrum*rticle states, that “verbal guidelines” were agreed upon at a May 10 meeting between myself, Steve Blumenkrantz of Sub-Board 1, Dr. Lorenzetti, and several other members of the administration What is not stated is that CAC was lucky to have had only volunteer reimbursement and Be—A—Friend temporarily discontinued. At an earlier May 3 meeting, representatives of the administration were intractable in their demand that CAC discontinue all programs that did not fit their narrow interpretation of the Board of Trustees guidelines. 1 suspect that a file of letters in support of Community Action Corps from state legislators, community leaders, faculty members, and students prompted the administration to alter its position. As Dr. Lorenzetti remarked in the article, the new verbal guidelines will allow CAC to continue much as it did before, although the focus of several projects will now be changed. CAC is currently seeking sources other than student fees for funding Be—A—Friend and the project will be running in September. I still hope to convince Dr. Lorenzetti that volunteerism doesn’t preclude reimbursement for expenses incurred, e.g., bus fare. However, I still resent this incursion by the administration on the autonomy of a student organization. The administration’s argument that mandatory student fees must be spent directly for the benefit of students could conceivably have meant the end of Community Action Corps as we know it. It is a indeed a precarious position to be in, knowing that the administration can Override the desires of the student body (as expressed by the number of CAC volunteers and by the approval of its budget by the Student Assembly) by arbitrarily invoking its power to interpret and reinterpret an ambiguous set of regulations on a moment’s notice. *WAT I* A VIKY GOOD QUISTtON AND ONI I SHALL ANSWIR timi nixt oumw.Tr .., Sincerely, Mark Carlin Director Community Action Corps AT AN AMAOMIATt l»Hfl»HAW �r % Paper Moon Bogdanovich overcomes built in handicaps - Jay Boyar /l«r. Arts Editor but then, so was Bogdanovich’s first and white success, The Last Picture Show. Superficially, it appears that he is trying to exploit a trick he tried before. The tendency is to applaud him for his initial use of the stark effect in Picture Show and then berate him for laurel-resting in Paper Moon. Further consideration reveals that this ongoing use of black-and-white is little more than coincidence. As Bogdanovich says, it really is “hard to picture the Depression in color.” If any period cries for the drabness of B&W film, it is that. No, Bogdanovich should be feted, not faulted, for reusing the device. A third problem in the film might have been cuteness. Since Shirley Temple first buttoned up her overcoat, there have been frantic efforts to capture cute kids on celluloid. Children supposed to be “darling” are zealously coveted by commercial film makers. Usually, attempts to sell adorability on television and the silver screen are dismal disappointments. Somehow, when a camera tries to capture cuteness, it comes out only “cutesy” and ... forgive him for his complicity in Love Story but even so, his performance in Paper Moon is the one fly in Bogdanovich’s pleasing ointment. True, the elder O’Neal does not really do a bad job. He tries very hard to create the three-dimensional role of a con man with a soft heart and “an eye for the ladies.” Problem is that such a character is not meant to be three-dimensional, but only two-dimensional; 2 lA at the most". , Peculiar person, this Peter Bogdanovich. He begins with an abominable idea for the film Paper Moon. The principle components of the project beg to be developed stupidly; it is as if director Bogdanovich set out to make a movie with every strike against him. Beginning* with potentially trumped-up nostalgia, he combines an old technical trick and some canned cuteness to produce a film that seems doomed from the start. Sounds just awful, doesn’t it? But Paper Moon is a very fine movie! How he overcome the film’s built-in Hmmm handicaps? Lessee. Time setting is his first trouble. As anyone who can read a paper knows, a choppy wave of frothy nostalgia has got this country floundering in salty seas. Paper Moon is set in 1936: the Depression. In itself, this is disturbing enough; practically every third film these days is set in the era leading up to or during World War II. The sights, sounds, and mood of the period are becoming all too familiar. There is an annoying tendency to include in such films, relics from the era with the express purpose of making people who lived through it smile at something familiar. It is as cheap a trick as embarrasing. mentioning “Brooklyn” on the air so that all the Brooklynites in the audience will applaud.

Paper Moon ,.•••, * — rW, «MyS �Painted pastiche marks gallery s art arrangement Editor’s note: This is thefirst of a series of articles expressing an opinion on various workings of the segments of the Albright-Knox Art Gallery. that some of the reasoning by Mr. Wood will seem rather incredible, but the following really is the undistorted actual content of the discussion. by Jeffrey Wechsler Inferior decorating I asked Mr. Wood why the Reinhardt is in the Oriental Art room. He answered, “I think it looks nice there.” I guess I thought he was kidding so I continued, “No, I mean what is the reason behind hanging the Reinhardt in the Oriental room?” He elaborated: “Well, the Oriental room is decorated in orange and yellow. The Uue-peen painting goes well with the colors of the room. The sculpture give a calm and restrained feeling, and so does the painting, it adds a different, yet pleasing, color variation to the room.” I suppose I was still incredulous. I began thinking up possible valid reasons (at the edge of validity, to be sure) and offered them to him. “Is the painting there because Ad Reinhardt was an avid student of Oriental art?" I volunteered. “No, not at all,” Mr. Wood replied. “Perhaps it is because Reinhardt’s very early style was somewhat reminiscent of Oriental calligraphy,” I suggested. “Oh no,” he said, “It’s there just because I think it goes well with the room-1 like it there.’’ Yep, the guy likes it there. For the same reason (hat some artsy socialite might buy a painting (Oh, that would look marvelous with the yellow wallpaper in the dinette), so hangs the Reinhardt in the Albright-Knox. This is nothing less than anti— historical, anti-stylistic, anti-educational, anti-artist, anti—art personal whim presiding over the positioning of the work of an important painter. And more instances of the most tenuous excuses for positioning exist in the Albrigh-Knox. So, on to the next case. In the downstairs galleries there is one room in which the Gallery’s Pop Art is Spectrum Arts Editior Probably the most obvious reflection of curatorial concerns in any museum, to either the casual or expert viewer, is the methodology of organizing and displaying the collection in other words, how and where the paintings are hung and the sculpture positioned. In this article, I shall discuss this methodology as practiced in the Albright-Knox Art Gallery, referring to the visible evidence of the current set-up in the Gallery. Let it be known at the start that I believe there are gross errors of judgment in many display situations. Encumbent upon me now is the burden of proof, which I am prepared to give in quantity. It is supposedly poor practice to play one's trump card first, but I will forego that warning in order to make my point immediately, using something wjuch has been a pet peeve of mine for the past three years. This is the astonishing presence, in the midst of a room of Far Eastern art, of a 19S2 painting by the abstractionist Ad - - Reinhardt. That this painting is preposterously misplaced is blatantly evident to even the most uninformed layman. Indeed, I have noticed numerous visitors stop in their tracks in catching a glimpse of this work, register puzzled looks, and often utter the all-too-true “What’s this doing here?” For an answer, one must go to the curator, James Wood, who is responsible for the distribution of the collection. And, in fact, I did. Now please believe me. 1 will admit that the conversation here is paraphrased, and This particular room, always Pop-flavored,, is just as unswervingly a mess of stylistic chop suey. Also currently swizzled into the Pop is a fine figurative painting by Richard Diebenkorn and an odd, spare abstraction by Robert Irwin. There is simply no rhyme or reason to the selection for this area at the present displayed. Usually one may find there works by Indiana, Oldenburg, Rosenquist, Dine, and Marisol. The Gallery does own enough Pop Art to make a very coherent room. But that doesn’t happen. Instead works vastly different in content and intent are used as filler. Jean Dubuffet's “Portrait of Henri Michaux” is always shown in this room, and its inclusion there amounts to an insult to the artist and/or a startling misreading of the artist’s meaning. As everyone knowledgeable in contemporary art relizes, Dubuffet is involved with art based on the irrational, the insane, the childlike, and the ‘ugly’. These more spontaneous, free, and unintellectualized tendencies are claimed by Dubuffet to be more natural, and therefore truly valid and powerful as vital human experience. So why is Dubuffet in the Pop Art room? Since Dubuffet viciously hacked away at his thickened pigment with no concern for polished results, he produced figures which purposely suggest the drawing of a child, And since Pop artists sometimes deal with child—related imagery (Marisol’s “Baby Girl,” Dine’s “Child’s Blue Wall”), a minor and superficial resemblance in subject matter is seized upon to make mincemeat of art history. Cruelty to animals In the view of this room illustrated here, one sees two animal sculptures by Anne Arnold, and paintings by Dubuffet, Sutherland, and Fracis Bacon. Why is the Francis Bacon there? Simple! It contains the image of a dog, and the curator seems to think that goes just fine next to Anne Arnold’s cat. Although the Albright-Knox’s example of this painter’s work is a weak one, the fact that Bacon’s art is a horrifying view into the tortured open wound of modem’s man’s psyche is never considered. Another artist is insulted. moment. In an adjacent (pace, a ions wall offers more modem art history obfuscation Despite the fact that all of these works were made within ten years of each other, they represent five totally different aesthetic attitudes. From left to right in the illustrated, view, the art movements shown are: Neo-Plasticlsm, Pop, . “Proto-Pop”, formalism. Pop, and minimalism. An easy way to start bringing some coherence to these rooms would be to transfer the Warhol and the Lichtenstein into the Pop room, and replace them with the Irwin and another work, perhaps the Gallery’s Liberman. This is not yet a satisfactory solution, but it is a step away from total confusion. 1 k • American melting-poll uck h A glaring inconsistency (among others) in the “American Room” is next on the list.

In fact, Paul Bowles is rarely even himself without first being less than himself The -tones in this book deal with marriage, religion, professionalism and violence. But we only see glimpses of a recognizable humanity that is hidden benath “what is both bizarre and wise in the civilizations in which he [the author] has settled.” Each of the stories contain some needle-like moments of violence which »r~ masked by a false understanding and are used so irresolutely by the author that one could easily accuse him of out-and-out sensationalism. All but a few stories have no ending or theme worth remembering. What one takes away from this book is a smalt case of more sharp things, all embarassingly commonplace. There are some stories in the book (‘Tea on the Mountain,” “At Paso Rojo” and “Pastor Dowe at Tacatc”) which carry the same aura as the Nescafe Gold Cup Coffee commerical with its smiling south American and African natives gaily toiling over bushels of coffee beans. The plagued protagonists have no idea what the natives are doing to them, but the author sheds no light on it either, and in the end he is mourning for the white man in the midst of it all. “Call at Corazon” and “How Many Midnights” have Kafkaesque memories of white try at individualism. There are some more complete stories: “Under the Sky,” “1000 Days for Mokhtan” and ‘The Scorpion,” all of which deal quite admirably with human sexuality and privacy, and “Senor Ong and Senor Ha” which is about a seven-year-old opium dealer. But I think that my favorite in the book is “A Distant Episode” (perhaps for not altogether serious reasons), which is about a professor who gets his tongue ripped out and is taught obscene gestures and dances in order to entertain large numbers of barbaric people. As entertainment, this book would probably beat watching 'Dick Cavett, or even going to see Shaft in Africa. However, one is left with the sense of a hollow North American Action. The obscene and “bizarre” wilderness for this man is, after all, only the regular life of other peoples. And I hardly think that this kind of reportage is necessary when the people, especially from Latin America, have been so eloquently capable of radiating their own culture. Nevertheless, this book which first appeared in 1950, “has been critically acclaimed as Paul Bowles’ most important work, but has been unavailable for many years.” So all I can say is; get it while you can.

The breathtaking Basil Rathbone (as snooper Sherlock Holmes) helped initiate a tradition that has made Alfred Hitchcock a veritable superstar among film makers. From Warner Olan and Sidney Toler as the inscrutable Charlie Chans to Patrick Macnee (in Sleuth ) as the detective writer with a bent for the macabre, the silver screen shines with mystery and suspense. The Last of Sheila had the misfortune to appear while the sweet memory of Sleuth was still fresh in our minds. Since Sleuth was a difficult film to follow, Sheila may not have been as bad as it appeared to be. But that is doubtful, to say the least. Writers Steven Sondheim and Tony Perkins were traitors to the magical mystery tour. The only thing that was beautiful or arty about The Last of Sheila was its cast, and their wardrobes. - - producer who spent his talents on kiddies and commercials. And to further prove man’s inherent evil, Sheila featured Dyan Cannon, Raquel Welch, Ian McShane and Joan Hackett as not-so-innocent accessories. The story centers around Clinton’s de ire to avenge the death of Sheila, the only woman he was capable of loving. Under the pretext of producing a movie (to be entitled, appropriately enough The Last of Sheila ) he assembled a coterie of Hollywood’s most beautiful people. His intention was to humiliate each of them for reasons unbeknownst to mankind and to cajole Sheila’s killer into an open confession of the deed. - - But when you’re crying After the initial ten minutes of the movie, the cast begins to realize that they are about to be subjected to some of the worst psychological torture of their lives (well, roles). “Clinton brings people to their knees, and then hands out little presents,” says Dyan Cannon.

The disease infected some 20,000 young people and many of them are reported to be still recuperating. The symptoms are quite unique and contagious. First of all, you wake up Sunday afternoon to Page’s heavy, raunchy lead guitar on every radio station your receiver can reach. Then when you go through your drawers in search of some underwear you find a ticket that reads, “Led Zeppeliti/In Concert/July 15 at Memorial Auditorium.” After washing up a bit you realize what the whole thing means: Tonight is THE concert. That’s the way it was for most of the heavy rockers in town. For me it was just going to check out a super group that’s been around for a number of years and I’ve failed to see. I guess, then, I qualify as an objective observer. I had heard so many stories about them in concert that I really didn’t know what , to expect. Barrage of riffs After I entered the Aud and found my seat, I immediately noticed the immense arsenal of electronic equipment on the extra raised stage. There were also three crystal balls dangling from the scaffolds (we’ve seen that before), a good number of filtered lights and a large wheel with multi-colored filters around the perimeter. Very, very impressive, but can they play well? “Rock and Roll” and “Celebration” started things off and I must say that both tunes sounded slower than usual. Soon after, though, the Zeppelin put it all together and the entire concert turned into a most interesting trip. Jimmy Page let loose a barrage of heavy riffs during “Dazed and Confused” and then “Heart Breaker.” He mirthfully danced across both ends of the stage spinning and turning, playing his axe just above his knee. With a look of ease on his face, Page reeled off lightning fast leads that could be heard in North Tonawanda. The crowd began absorbing the tremendous energy that was being released from the stage. John Paul Jones was featured on the organ during “No Quarter” which is from the Houses of the Holy disc. The stage crew turned on the smoke machines as Jones played an eerie, mysitical lead. The effect was very swamp-like and spooky as the smoke covered the entire stage. I generally dislike these psychadrenic excursions, but the music and the sinoke effect went together too well for me not to appreciate it. During the change of tempo in “Stairway To Heaven” the crowd rushed the stage as the lights were turned on the crystal balls. Here again Page let loose with driving riffs that filled every inch of the Aud, against a steady rhythmic piano by Jones. John Bonham did a drum break during “Moby Dick” which was neither impressive nor depressive. I can’t stand drum solos because I think they’re just a cheap time killer that’s used to rest the band. An audience should never be exposed to that type of waste. Bonham is an excellent drummer; but fuck } the solos please. The crowd wasn’t as rowdy as I expected them of assholes who did throw cherry bombs into the crowd, which is fucked up, but most of the time the audience listened appreciatively to the Zeppelin as they performed. Robert Plant and Jimmy Page teamed up nicely on ‘The Rain Song.” Page imaginatively utilized a double neck guitar by playing chords twelve string section and leads on the six string section. Plant’s voice was strong and always managed to reach the back rows of the Aud. After a medley of their oldies, Zeppelin wento into“Whole Lotta Love.” Explosions and fires flared up from every corner of the stage as they dispensed every ounce of energy into their music. Additional security men were rushed in as Plant and company walked off the stage. They came back and finished things up with ‘The Ocean.” Before I split 1 want to say one thing. It’s very easy to put down groups that use heavy visual and extravagant sound systems in their acts. One can easily say, ‘That’s noise not music at all.” When it’s done well it’s artistic in itself. It takes imagination, a good feeling for their own music and good improvisation to perform in this manner. to- be.

Mr. Nixon has stated he will not hesitate to return to Congress to ask it for the necessary authority to continue the American war effort after August IS if he thinks it necessary. In the latter weeks of July both Houses of Congress will take action on the Defense Department Authorization Bill which contains operating money for continuing air war and an Administration request for 1.2 billion dollars in military aid for Indochina. During this month Congress is also schedules to vote on anti-war legislation: 1) Jhe Church-Case Bill prohibits U.S. military involvement without prior Congressional approval in North and South Vietnam, Laos and Cambodia and also applies to all future appropriation bills. 2) The Foreign Economic Aid Bill limits economic aid solely to humanitarian assistance. It chiefly involves amendments limiting the which fund South Vietnam Secret Police and prison interrogation centers) as well as scaling down the total amount of aid. As stated by Representative Thaddeus J. Dulski before a House vote on May 8, 1973: “The only Constitional authority claimed by the Administration for the continued bombing has been that of protecting American lives. With our troop withdrawals this rational is no longer valid.” “We are jeopardizing American lives by sending our fliers over hostile territory with risk of more lives lost and new prisoners taken in another undeclared war.” We of the Peace Center are urging everyone to write their Cojngressmen asking their support for legislation that ends funding for any war operations in Indochina. ’ Legislation Committee Western New York Peace Center Maxwell Primack Marion Becker Norine Hackney ” The Spectrum Frustrating experience To the Editors of The Spectrum and Ethos. Vol. 24, No. 6 Friday, 20 July 1973 It is a very unhappy and frustrating experience to read your publications. I cannot help but believe that University students are capable of more than being able to tell one rock group from another (although this is no mean feat). All of your writers and artists seem obsessed with themselves. They appear to have an endless capacity for self-punishing sarcasm and neo-Holden Caulfield humor. Not only is this boring, but it is the heartbeat of what makes America. grate (pun intended). You should tell them this. With any luck they will be embarrassed enough to stop.

It is a work totally foreign in intent, execution, and sheer artistic definition to all the other paintings in the area. Next to the dark and moody Ryder, this placement appears doubly absurd. A Kuniyoshi oil from 1938 Is to the right of the Avery, but this only serves to put two paintings in a bad place. The time span of the rest of this room covers the years from 1790 to 1920. The later date belongs to the Bellows, but since this work is “conventionally” painted, as opposed to the artist's usual brusque brushwork, it fits in to some extent. But the Avery’s pink sky and yellow cow shriek for escape and understanding in the face of such curatorial foolishness. For the reader’s sake, only one more example of cockeyed hanging will be nemtioned, but it is a real winner. Scrutinize the photograph of two people perusing the bins in which sample copies of prints for sale are stored. Notice, to the right, the elevator (sec the button?) hidden behing the small wall. And notice, on the wall, a picture. That picture is a watercolor by the expressionist master, Emil Nolde. Buffalo is contemplated in a transportation bond issue and subsidy plan that Gov. Rockefeller will probably recommend for action at a special session of the Legislature, due to start Monday. The proposal responds to a crisis in the New York City rapid transit system, where the subway fare, now at $.35 could skyrocket to $.60 next January unless the state intervenes with a cash subsidy. “We couldn’t expect upstate legislators to rescue New Yorjf City unless we tossed something in for them,” said a source closeto the Governor. CAMPUS Construction to start Foundation work on the library complex at the Amherst campus is expected to get underway in late November or early December, under a construction schedule approved by the State Budget Division. “With the foundation work starting this winter,” a University spokesman said: “The general library and administration building should be completed by late summer 1977 as scheduled.” Collegiate director sought A search committee headed by William Greiner, law school, is presently screening applicants for the position of Collegiate Director. Twenty -people have already been screened, but according to sources, more applicants are being sought. The Colleges report they already have a large number of resumes, and are now sending out packets of information to new candidates. The new Collegiate director will replace Pat Smith, who resigned last semester, citing difficulties between the Colleges and the Administration. SUNYAB accredited The Commission on Higher Education of the Middle States Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools has voted to reaffirm the accreditation of the State University at Buffalo. The Commission’s chairman commented that “this action reflects the confidence of your colleagues in the contribution you are making to higher education and their belief that you will continue to strive to improve the quality of education offered by the State University of New York at Buffalo.” ... —continued from page 8— Why is that picture there?

Such irresponsibility (and, I maintain insult) heaped upon the collection is a pitiable situation. Can poor placement be avoided in the Albright-Knox? Some say there isn’t enough space or enough coherent art to produce coherent arrangements. This is not true. There are works in the vault (and other places) that should make Buffalo art enthusiasts gasp. This veritable gold mine of unseen art could easily solve nearly all the aforementioned hanging problems. What’s in this amazing underground horde? Well, that’s another story. Next week’s story.

The combination of these two agencies follows recommendations of the State University Master Plan and is one in a number of similar mergers throughout the State. The Buffalo Urban Center opened in 1966 to provide educationally disadvantaged students with opportunities to upgrade occupational skills, find gainful employment, and advance through remedial and compensatory education. Since its inception, the Urban Center has enrolled over 5400 students and helped hundreds of them toward these ends. Ryland Melford, assistant director of the Center, foresees that the new Education Opportunity Center will offer “the same type of services” as the Urban Center presently does. Courses offered by the Urban Center cover a wide range of occupational interests, from comprehensive secretarial training to high school equivalency and college entrance preparation, as well as many areas in between. “Many of these people find jobs immediately,” said Dr. Melford. Still others are cross-registered in both the Urban Center and the University. Students at the Buffalo Urban Center attend teg tuition-free. Dr. Melford described the services of the Urban Center as being to the advantage of the entire community and its success “phenomenal.” The Cooperative College Center was created in 1970 to help educationally disadvantaged students reach the academic standards necessary to enter matriculated programs at two and four-year colleges. Disadvantaged high school graduates who successfully complete the College Center’s program are placed as matriculated students at both private and public campuses, usually in state-funded Educational Opportunity programs. Problems involved in combining the two agencies may curtail the services offered by both this summer. In future summers, the new Educational Opportunity Center should be able to maintain a level of operation equal to that of the regular academic year. Consolidation will also combine the administrative responsibilities of the Buffalo Urban Center and the Cooperative College Center. The Urban Center, previously under the administration of Erie Community College, will come under the University, where the College Center has been since its creation. The ultimate decision of where to locate the Educational Opportunity Center lies with the University’s Facilities Planning Division. This decision, as well as the selection of the Center’s director, will hopefully be forthcoming in the next few weeks. ‘I do!’ ) You drink Yago Sant’Gria anywhere, anytime you’re having fun.

Agreeing with Mr. Dandes that “if these comments had been directed at an individual, there would be grounds for libel,” James DeSantis, Director of University Public Information Services, said they reflect a lack of knowledge and information. Disc jockey Sandy Beach has been making unfair comments about the University for the past two years, he said. Accusing Mr. Beach of stereotyping the University’s students as drug users, he felt such a picture was misrepresentative. ‘The University is the lifeblood of this community,” said Mr. DeSantis, and “the greatest asset Western New York has. “Students have done more to build community relations in the past two years than ever before,” he continued, with over 2000 of them presently doing volunteer work in the city. Word games Mr. Beach, who could not be reached for comment, is charged with using words from commercials and records that in the context of the University were considered offensiv . Mr. Dandes illustrated this in a letter to the Federal Communications Commission (FCC). Following a commercial for a ceramics museum, he said that Mr. Beach picked up on the words “master potters” and in an obvious reference to marijuana usage, said many of them could be found at this University. In another case, while announcing the future appearance of a faculty member who was also a transportation expert, Mr. Beach said this was appropriate “since there were so many trips being taken on the campus,” according to Mr. Dandes. WKBW’s general manager, Thomas Cronk, seemed to feel that the station’s public service programs which have often focused on the University “have a prevailing impact over a couple of one-liners delivered on a program.” However, Mr. DeSantis felt that such discussion programs had a small listening audience. There are four times as many people listening to Mr. Beach’s broadcast, contending that his comments do have an effect on the community. Negative coveragege Citing a communication gap between the University and the outside community, Fred Tamalonis, director of the Alumni Association, faulted the media for refusing to print or. say anything favorable about the University. The media’s favorite topic is publicizing “negative information” since this is what attracts an audience. Mr. Tamalonis said he could cite at least “five major events” which “never reached the public” because of the media’s failure to follow through on press releases. Noting that there are over 30,000 alumni in the Western New York area, Mr. Tamalonis said that “the degradation of the University is damaging.” The community’s image of the University is based on the occurences during the 1969-70 riots, he said: “Inflammatory remarks reinforce what they believe and they dig it.” There has to be an “altitudinal change,” he said, stressing the importance of the media’s cooperation. “People know that the University is the first or second most important economic influence in this area. They have to know what else we do.” Noting that Mr. Beach was “living in the past,” Mr. DeSantis said his constant references to drugs could very well lead to an increased use of them by his audience, many of whom are high school students. He explained that jokes about drug use among 23,000 college students could result in his audience’s feeling “that if it’s okay for all those people, it’s okay for me.” An FCC spokesman said Mr. Dandes’ letter was received, and an answer is forthcoming. He said that complaints of this nature fall under the “Fairness Doctrine” which outlines procedures for personal attack. A spokesman for WKBW said that both Mr. Gonk and Program Director Jeff Kaye, were on vacation and could not be contacted. Free publicity SORRY, University Bookstore will be closed Mon. July 23 Fri.

The Spectrum Friday. 20 Julyl^S . by Dave Hnath Spectrum Staff Writer After a successful won-7, lost-4 record in Buffalo’s first year of varsity soccer play, Coach Bert Jacobson is optimistic that his squad can at least equal, if not surpass, last year’s success. Despite losing only six players from last year’s squad, Mr. Jacobsen was out on the recruiting trail in Canada and Europe, hoping to find the “scoring punch we really didn’t have last year.” With no scholarships or grants to work with, all Mr. Jacobsen had to offer to those who were qualified were tuition waivers. After the wholesale waiver cuts this year, he has nothing to offer them and Buffalo “lost at least 15 players,’’ including eight Canadians, who could have helped the Bulls this fall. Mr. Jacobsen is still hoping for 6-8 players who will be of immediate help this season. Where the Bulls need help most could be in goal. With last year’s starting goalie Jeff McBee returning, but not much else, this is the club’s “thinnest area, but not necessarily the weakest," Mr. Jacobsen noted. McBee’s only back-up is sophomore Mark Hollenbeck, since last year’s back-up goalie, Willie Wood, is transferring to Stony Brook. Hollenbeck collected little playing time last year, and should McBee become injured, Mr. Jacobsen would be hard pressed for an experienced substitute. Depth needed Another portion where a lack of depth might hurt could he at Halfback. Returning from last year’s signing .squad ake Jerry Galkiewicz, a solid player as a freshman last year, and Heron Allen, who, along with forward Alex Terimire, were last year’s steadiest players. Having lost co-captain Bob Hayes to graduation and Gary Anderson to Buffalo State, Mr. Jacobsen will have to look to junior college transfers and walk-ons to bolster his midfield. Perhaps the biggest improvement this year will come from the defense. “The defense had letdowns when they shouldn’t have last year. Experience, and getting used to, playing with each other should help," said Mr. Jacobsen. Last year’s co-captain Jim Leinert will move back from midfield to aid sophomores Jim Baker, Dave Brennan, and Bob Case, who carried most of the fullback load as freshman last year. Two new faces will appear on the forward line this season, Justic Reaves and Jude Ndenge. Reaves , Student Association requests that any organization or club wishing to be included in a brochure containing the schedule of events for fall orientation, contact Student Affairs Coordinator Judy Kravitz immediately. Deadline for all copy is Tuesday, July 24. your Soccer recruitment) Seeking more depth ■ DJ’s quips deemed offensive is a transfer from Monroe CC, and he’ll rejoin right wing Dimitries Mihalitsas after a year apart. Ndenge is a sophomore who had to sit out last year due to NCAA eligibility requirements. Ndenge didn’t take the necessary tests to project a sufficient grade-point average to play, a requirement which has since been abolished. Hurt by graduation The line was the one area hit heaviest by graduation, losing insides Kola Oseni and Don Earl, and wing Edgar Rojas. Despite the heavy losses, the forward spot will probably be the Bulls’ strongest suit this fall. Joining Mihalitsas in returning from last year will be insides Terimire and Tom Schratz, and wingers Doug Leininger and Nabil Youssef. Terimire was last year’s leading scorer, and the offense will most likely center around him this season. Though he didn’t play that much last year, Mr. Jacobsen feels Youssef has “unlimited potential’’ and could be a surprise. Leininger and Schratz were starters at the end of last season, and will most likely be found at left wing and center, respectively, again thisycar. The 1973 schedule finds one team from last season gone, replaced by two tough opponents. The Bulls have dropped Gannon College from this fall’s slate replacing them with Brockport State and Ohio University. Brockport was entered in last year’s NCAA College Division champipnships. , while ; Ohio advanced to the quarter-finals of the NCAA University Division playoffs, University losing to eventual NCAA ciiampion St. Loiiis University. Despite the tougher schedule, Mr. Jacobsen feels the Bulls “should be stronger this year we’ll continue to surprise as we did last year. The difference between good versus a great season lies in keeping everyone healthy, and the bench coming through if and when necessary.” The keys to winning this year will be how well the starting 11 works together, and how well the substitutes work with the starters. Should they be successful in this, Buffalo’s hooters could be well on their way to a successful season. The schedule for the Bulls looks like this: Sept. 22 vs. Syracuse (1 p.m.), 25 vs. Canisius (4 p.m.), 29 at Ohio U. (2 p.m.), Oct. 6 vs. Niagara (1p.m.), 10 vs. St. Bonaventure (4 p.m.), 13 at Brockport (3:30 p.m.), 17 at Buffalo St. (4 p.m.), 20 vs. Potsdam (1 p.m.), 22 at St. John Fisher (4 p.m.), 27 vs. Geneseo (1 p.m.), Nov. 2-3 SUNY Center Tournament at Binghamton with Albany and Stony Brook. - « - �AD INFORMATION CLASSIFIED ADS may be placed In 355 Norton Hall, Monday thru Friday, 9 a.m. 4 p.m. The student rate Is $1.25 for IS words or lass and $.05 for •/ary additional word.

Vol. 24, No. 5 State University of New York at Buffalo Friday, 13 July 1973 - Where does a woman go if she leaves her husband and is without a means of financial support? How can a woman new to the city find a reputable gynecologist? Is there some place that gives instructions to women in home plumbing? Rose Roberts and Stefanie Phillips are two of the women in the Buffalo community who are actively planning the creation of a community women’s center to deal with such concerns. According to Ms. Roberts, the center will not only handle women’s problems and act as an information service, but will also be a place for women to meet for fun and recreation. The center, planned to open some time in the fall, will provide emergency housing facilities for women who are changing residence or who “just need a temporary calm, non-hassling environment.” It also will organize an information and referral service to provide a “central clearing house” for and answering questions announcing community events. Rap sessions plus In addition, a bulletin board for direct input and exchange among area women will be available at die center. Another goal of the project is to provide women encouragement to involved in all aspects of the arts. To further “this end, the center will publish a newsletter to share women’s creative endeavors and will perhaps display women’s art in the center.

Ms. Roberts said the rap sessions will be “ihore than just consciousness-raising efforts.” She hopes the program will include instruction in auto mechanics, organic gardening, or “in whatever area the community expresses interest.” The center plans to utilize personnel from the Women’s Studies College at the State University of Buffalo in organizing and leading these activities as well as drawing from resources in the city. Break from academia Ms. Phillips explained that the center was a community center to be established and perpetuated by Buffalo residents. “Although it is important to maintain in contact with the University and its resources, we want the center to be somewhat disengaged from the University atmosphere.” She contended that the community members are the best informed about their own needs and will,provide the longevity needed to run such a center. don’t “University people necessarily make Buffalo their permanent home and the center will need continuous support.” To date, no facility has been obtained to house the center.

Such investigations would be initiated by the officer’s supervisor, who must then submit a full detailed report to the director of Security.

Amherst library likely to be funded by State The Amherst campus general and library, administration activities complex is likely to be funded by the state legislature. Leaders of the Assembly Ways and Means Committee have agreed to include funds for the building in the deficiency budget for the current state fiscal year, according to the office of Assemblyman Chester R. Hardt (R„ Amherst). With this budget scheduled for approval early next year, Mr. Hardt said the Budget Division, which controls the outlays of state funds, has agreed to free money so that construction for the $23.9 million project can begin soon. Vigorous protest President Robert Ketter had protested vigorously when the 1973 session of the Legislature adjourned on May 28 without allocating the capital construction funds for the library, despite assurances from repeated legislatures that money would be available. Apparently, it was understood that the money was to be included in - the supplemental budget for 1973-74, approved by the legislature just prior to adjournment. Within the next few weeks, several meetings took place with Assemblyman Hardt and State Senator James McPharland in the hope of securing the allocation either during a special legislative session in July or by the end of the calendar year. Stressing the overwhelming importance of favorable legislative action. Dr. Ketter maintained: ‘if this general library, administration and student activities complex is not completed in time, there will be no such facilities for students and their supporting faculty and staff.” Although the administration is still awaiting official word from Albany, assistant to the President Tom Craine said that in all likelihood, “a dismal situation to have been appears corrected . . construction appears imminent „ .

Circulation: 10,000 parvice, Haircutting A CREA nVE and UNIQUELY office has clarified its Fluctuation in prices Mr. Saunders discovered similar discrepancies while going over various other Requisition Encumbrance Purchase (REP) forms, and questioned why instead of having set rates for Clark Hall services, maintenance fluctuated prices with each individual event. Explaining that the greatest disparity appeared between black and white groups, he maintained: “I’m not saying they’re making a price difference based on race, but the possibility does exist.” Attempting to uncover reasons for the cost discrepancies, Mr. Saunders met last week with Herb the Office of Facilities Planning’s Merrill, coordinator for non-academic utilization. Interviewed Tuesday by The Spectrum, Mr. Merrill said any charges of racial discrimination were untrue and without substance. He explained that setup and breakdown costs depended solely upon two factors: the “time of day” the event is held and the number and “grade” of crewmen required to accommodate the event. Wages doubled According to him, setup and breakdown usually occur after 4:30 p.m. when the normal working day is over, causing wages for maintenance men to almost double. This could not be avoided because academic classes have top priority in the use of Clark Hall and all non-academic organizations must plan their activities around them. Mr. Merrill said. Senior maintenance supervisor Vern Larsen agreed that it was extremely difficult, if not impossible, to prepare Clark Hall during the normal working day although efforts were constantly being made. “We prefer to get in there during working hours because it’s not easy to get men to work overtime,” Mr. Larsen maintained. Referring to the Nov. 30 evening appearance of Angela Davis, Mr. Larsen said maintenance could not begin setting up until late in the afternoon because of basketball and girls’ volleyball practice. “This inadvertently increased the costs of maintenance since Dr. maintenance procedures for determining “setup and breakdown” costs at Clark Hall events amidst allegations that Black groups were being charged unfairly. The controversy originated late last spring, when SA assistant Treasurer Tyrone Saunders observed that maintenance costs for black groups were consistently higher than those for white-sponsored organizations. Specifically, Mr. Saunders found that only $68.16 was charged for the setup and breakdown of Clark Hall during Jane Fonda’s appearance, while engagement had Shirley Chisholm’s speaking warranted a maintenance fee of $205.70. Dismayed at the -apparent ambiguity, he felt that a “force of 100 maintenance men would have been required to justify that kind of money.” there were additional overtime hours,” he emphasized. ‘Grade’ important Mr. Merrill explained how the “grade” of maintenance men who do the actual setup and breakdown also contributes to the disparity in cost. Because of a recurring lack of available personnel for overtime work, higher-paid supervisors and foremen will often work the nighttime shifts, significantly increasing the amount of paid wages. To better demonstrate how time of grade day* and directly affect costs, maintenance foreman Chuck Sonntag did a comparative, step-by-step analysis of three -different Clark Hall events. Referring to Angela Davis’ evening appearance on October 2, he said a crew of one supervisor and five workers worked a total of 24 hours (four hours apiece) during the regular working day. “We got into the gym at 2 o’clock in the afternoon,” so we were able to pull out the east bleachers and begin rolling the mats out,” Mr. Bol BuJie^r Sonntag said. “Because of this, we only worked 12 hours overtime, so the entire cost for setup and breakdown was $104.64.” ‘Everything overtime’ Discussing the April 5 evening engagement of Chisholm, Shirley Mr. Sonntag ,>surjnised: “Everything was overtime.” Consequently, the crew of one supervisor and five men was paid $205.68, or a total of 30 overtime hours, the only regular-hour work being the , hauling of 200 chairs from Diefendorf Hall to the front of Clark Hall. The “time of day” factor had the clearest influence 12 afternoon during the October appearance of Jane Fonda. Observing that only $68.16 had been charged for maintenance work, Mr. Larsen said: “Working mostly during regular working hours cuts your cost right in half.” Responding to specific charges that the higher costs were a product ol racism, Mr. Sonntag said: “We don’t even gel notified who will be appearing in Clark Hall until the actual appearance,” “As a matter of fact,” added Mr. Larsen, “Black groups usually are better controlled such events than their white counterparts. They have what they call their own police force so when damage occurs, the offenders are immediately ejected. There’s never as much debris or damage among Blacks as among whiles.” Mr. Merrill indicated that complaints from past Student Association administrations concerning piaintenance’s alleged exorbitant costs had once prompted his office to make arrangements whereby students could work setup and breakdown on a voluntary basis. The idea was abandoned, however, when “students who promised to come didn’t show up.” TAILORED STYLE Layer Cutting Shags Classic Page Boy Get yotirs soon. .Stop in or call for yd n't Super-Hair appointment. 854-7061 COMB SHEAR - - & ‘ , . 403 Main St. (Room.727A* Over Kleinhans) ft*.

Students will be acquainted with registration procedures, available counseling opportunities and academic requirements. To consolidate the enormous amount of information and relieve some of the confusion, academic advisement and registration for courses will be completed within one day, instead of a day and a half as in previous years. Commenting on the tremendous amount of information freshmen are expected to digest, Dorothy Wynne, associate director of advisement for the Division of Undergraduate Studies (DUS), said it is hoped students would be more familiar with the University in the fall as a result of orientation. Initial contacts Chuck Klepak, an orientation coordinator representing the counseling center, said student aides will be answering questions and helping with students’ individual problems. ‘The whole program depends on them,” said Mr. Klepak, because they will be the students’ initial contacts with the University. Other activities intended to insure some excitement outside the academic realm are being organized by Student Association. SA President Jon Dandes said one of the highlights will be midnight games of Ringaleviio. Jokingly referring to the “seriousness” at this University, Mr. Dandes asked: “What better way to acclimate the students to the university environment than to play a game of Ringalevio?” Swami Rama of the Himalayas will speak on Thursday, July 19 at 7:30 p.m. in the Conference Theater.

Administration. During a session before the Senate Watergate Committee. Mr. Mitchell’s testimony reinforced the White House contention that any claim involving the President with political espionage activities or the coverup was an outright lie. Mr. Mitchell contradicted prior sworn testimony that he had approved the Watergate wiretapping. He said he did not tell the President what he knew of the scandal or coverup for fear of crippling the 1972 Republican re-election campaign. He told the committee he rejected wiretapping schemes three times while campaign director and thought each time his disapproval had been final. To this day, Mr. Mitchell said, he is uncertain who .. > engineered the Watergate operations. “I’ve never quite got to the bottom of it,” he said t'W^ I ;« * Screwed' by audits Taxes o Joes’ checked often Reactions to the W)\ite House list of political enemies to be “screwed” by federal agencies, particularly through tax audits by the Infernal: Revenew Service (IRS), ranged from anger to cynicism. “1 suppose Hitler and Stalin may have had such lists,” said historian Arthur Schlesinger, Jr., “but no American President. Nixon saw himself as being above the law, and those under him acted accordingly.” Comedian Bill Cosby said he was only a “token black on the list,” while actor Paul Newman announced he was “sending Gordon Liddy to pick up my award.” It has become clear that various people on the list had undoubtedly been audited with more than the usual random frequency by the IRS. Previous Watergate testimony has made clear that the FBI and the QA have also been used against political enemies of the White House. i k 'John Dean submitted three White House memos to the Senate Watergate Committee, one of which charged that Republican appointees at IRS “lack guts and effort” and “appear afraid and unwilling to do anything that could be politically helpful.” Another said the White House staff was unable to crack down on tax-exempt foundations that “feed • , Editor's note: The following is a list of words that have been added to the popular American jargon as a result of Watergate: inoperative statement hush money laundering Waterbuggers Ellsburglars plumbers coverup Howard Baker blacklist tax audit CREEP paper-shredder executive clemency implicate immunity indict Zieglerisms national security domestic intelligence surveillance impeachment resignation has been retrieved in the nick of time from the police state it so nearly became.” Newsday senior editor Bob Greene, was audited in early 1972 after he conducted an investigation of the financial affairs of Charles (Bebe) G. Rebozo, a close friend of the President, in October 1971. Mr. Dean testified that “I got instructions that one of the authors of that article should have some problems.” Sen. Walter F. Mondale (D., Minn.), who has undergone thorough IRS examination in the last two years, said: “It makes you wonder whether they were doing anything else over there.” Ensure re-election Mr. Mitchell admitted going along with certain coverup operations to avoid scarring the President and to ensure Mr. Nixon’s re-election. The coverup was designed to keep the lid on the wiretap story and White House domestic surveillance activities, he said. He also said both he and the late FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover opposed a White House intelligence gathering plan which sanctioned burglaries in the name of internal security. Mr. Mitchell said President Nixon ordered the plan implemented although it was rescinded five days later, on July 28, to Mr. Hoover’s opposition. Mr. Mitchell told the committee; “I opposed the plan for the very simple reason that in the case of domestic problems I was very much opposed to surreptitious entry, mail covers and other aspects involved at that particular time,” The plan was designed by Thomas Huston, a former leader of the Young Americans for Freedom, while he was on the White House staff. It Called for monitoring telephone calls, opening mail and break-ins as part of an alleged attack against leftist groups. A memo from Mr. Huston written at the time cautioned the President that the plan was “clearly illegal.” Despite this, Mr. Huston urged adoption of the plan. - Quarterbacks and hatchetmen Some of the political intelligence was apparently shoddy. New York Jets quarterback Joe Namath was listed as a member of the New York Giants. Sam Lambert, former executive secretary of the National Education Association, who voted for Nixon in 1968 and considered himself a supporter, said; “If I were an enemy of the President, heaven help the real enemies, if this is the slipshod way they do their intelligence work.” Thomas O’Neill of the Baltimore Sun, who died in April 1971, three months before the list was completed, was also op the list, i Edwin O. Gufttmari, national editor of The Los Angeles Times, was labelled “a highly sophisticated hatchetman against us in ’68. It is obvious he is the prime mover behind the current Key Biscayne effort. It is time to give him the message.” Columnist Mary McGrory earned her place for her “daily hate-Nixon columns.” Columnist Max Lerner referred to the disappointment of those who had not been included on the list: “People scanned it avidly to see who had ‘made’ it, who had not. It was an ‘in’ thing to be on it.” James Reston of The New York Times said all you had to do to make the list was tell the truth, “but you can qualify if you are against the bombing of Cambodia or keep talking about Watergate.” Paranoia Mr. Wicker said: “From the most powerful institution in the world, did these men have nothing left-wing political causes” and urged audits to better to do than to gaze, with fear and paranoia, at uncover information about “leftist organizations outspoken citizens, and call them ‘enemies’ for being taking advantage of tax shelters.” A Congressional so?" Mr. Lerner agreed; “A good psychological term investigation by the Jpint Committee on Internal Revenue Taxation, chaired by Rep. Wilbur Mills, has for it is paranoia, when you see enemies, enemies everywhere, and you feel so surrounded by threats been launched. that you turn yourself into an engine of threat.

The process is cyclical. In the social spending phase, money is allocated to treatment programs amid high public hopes of success. Most likely a given program will meet with modest success, a few setbacks and considerable waste along the way. Expecting a panacea, the public becomes disenchanted at the failure to achieve instant results and begins to clamor for increased law enforcement. The pendulum swings back the other way. This is evidenced not just in the area qf drugs, but in the country's dissatisfaction with the social programs of the Johnson years. So now we are swinging headlong to the right, spearheaded by calls for the "ultimate deterrent" of capital punishment. Centuries of experience in Western society have proven that capital punishment is simply not effective, yet frustrated citizens, satiated with skyrocketing crime, are demanding its return. When new ideas don't work we go right back to the old ones that didn't work either. This myopic vision is now repeating the past mistake of viewing drug addiction as a crime, not a disease. The detoxification and methadone to drug-free programs have had some effect: heroin addiction here is declining after reaching its peak in 1969. New programs must reach those who abuse soft drugs, alcohol, ups and downs, as well as hard drug addicts. And they must be backed up by psychological counseling and vocational training programs. We can take someone off heroin, but- if we can't find him a job. Page six The Spectrum Friday, 13 July 1973 . . chances are he'll be back to the needle before long. The British have had relative success with a humanitarian approach to drug abuse, but we've learned nothing from their example. Response on JD/PhD To the Editor To the Editor Your June 29 issue carried an unsigned article on the JD/PhD program. As one of the “industrious lot” (your words) engaged in the program, 1 would like to counter some of the impressions created by your article. If your reporter had talked with more than (apparently) one student in the program, this would be unnecessary. The structure of the JD/PhD program, beyond requiring four years of course work for two degrees, does not require a greater effort from any member student than other graduate programs. The course load/semester is the same. Where greater effort is necessary is in combatting the feelings of frustration and existence of alienation which are at present structurally inherent in the program. The student in the program is exposed to two different socialization processes. Each of these presents the student with a vision of how she or he should be. Each uses sanctions (grades, jobs, funding, etc.) to mold the student to see the world and hurt or herself through this vision. The socialization at law school aims at making practicing lawyers. Whatever you are when you go in, you are supposed to come out as a lawyer. The staff recognizes this fact, and most students demand it. After all, they want to be members of the bar. The socialization in graduate school differs. A job in the academic biz is still not the stated premise of graduate education. The student in the program is pressured to develop two different visions of what he or she is. He or she is pressured to relate to both his or herself and others through this vision rather than as a total person, as themself. Alienation is precisely this way of relating to self and the world. Normally a student may not be aware of the process she or he is exposed to. The students in the JD/PhD program tend to become increasingly aware of their alienation as the content of the two visions conflict. The result is a good deal of frustration. You are damned whether you do or don’t. A further result (noted by Seymour Martin Lipsett in Political Mann) is that “Individuals who are subject to pressures driving them in different political directions must either deviate or escape into Instead, we have Gov. Rockefeller's tougher drug laws, which promise to lock up many teenagers and street corner pushers while business booms for the financiers who "never touch the stuff." But the public wants results and street busts make good headlines. Instead we have innocent families being terrorized, their homes illegally invaded by poorly-trained drug agents in their zeal to fight the war on drugs. It is this same zeal that has led to everything Watergate stands for, using crime as a justification for apathy.” police-state tactics. Undoubtedly, drug programs need new directions; waste must be trimmed, and additional research is mandatory. Undoubtedly, steps must be taken to protect our citizens from crimes stemming from drug abuse. But overzealousness has led to terrorizing by the State, a very real danger with frightening ramifications. And stricter laws across-the-board, instead of trying to isolate the suppliers, result in more petty arrests, clogged courts, overcrowded prisons in short, a perpetuation of the crimes it's designed to stop. — Misimpre Strangely enough, in deviation the real value of the program may appear. What your words of “innovation, challenging and something extra” do not convey is that the program’s benefits to the person develop only after the student places his or herself intellectually outside of the program in order to view the action of the program’s structure and beings to consciously deal with it.

The question of concealment must also be examined. The committee has weapons recommended concealed so lawbreakers cannot potential openly determine who is armed and who is not. While this makes sense, openly displayed weapons might serve as an effective deterrent against crime. Subcommittee chairman and Graduate School Dean MacAllister Hull Jr. admitted the committee saw little relevant data in this area. In all phases of the question, recommendations must be made on the basis of hard data, not intuition. All these questions must be carefully and painstakingly examined, and fortified with the proper research, when open hearings are held in September to derive community input into the recommendations. Show up! Strict and enforceable safeguards must be implemented if selective arming is not to lead to future tragedies. There have been too many past instances of Campus Security incompetence to leave such matters to chance. I Last year it was decided that members of Campus Security would be selectively armed. The subcommittee charged with writing rules and procedures for that selective arming has just completed its report. While we view the original decision for selective arming with much skepticism, feeling introduction of guns on campus may hurt more than help, we regard the implementation of that decision with apprehension and concern. There have been too many instances in recent years of downright irresponsibility by Campus Security officers. Documented .instances or poor judgment, improper training, over-reactioji to situations and blatant harassment create serious doubts as to the wisdom of providing these officers with guns. If selective arming is to be done, it must be highly selective. No officer must be armed unless he qualifies according to a number of stringent prerequisites. Proper weapon training in effect, target practice is important. Just as important, however, is mandatory training in behavioral science, interpersonal relations, self-defense with non-lethal weapons and reactions under stress to insure that abuses such as the blackjacking of a dorm student last year are not repeated. Guns should never be fired at a fleeing person, or used to threaten anyone, but should be drawn only in cases where there is immediate danger to the life of the officer or a bystander by an armed attacker.

A vast sea of journeyers crowd around the gateway to the dock, waiting for the magic boat to finally arrive and the golden doors barring them from the pier to slide open. They grab their babies and blankets, their knapsacks and sleeping bags, and press their way towards the open door with fervent and monolithic determination. After a brief minute of hope for salvation, the the mysterious glass door inevitably slides shut eyelid of the boat god closing, to weary and helpless man. Each of them has at least moved closer, and the back ranks are gradually replaced by new souls who begin their wait in the taxing summer heat.

They are revived by the long-awaited transportation, as well as by the shade and the breeze that somes swelling from the cool blue waters.

Freak-arts There is much more on the Toronto Islands than the Mariposa grounds. Most of the land here consists of grassy picnic areas, woods, and beach. Although they could be as well publicized to tourists as are Ontario Place, O’Keefe Center, or the Science Museum, the city of Toronto seems wisely content to stick to local residents for the Islands’ clientele. They come down in family groups to picnic and swim, to ride the long, canopied miniature trains around the paths, or to visit the kiddieland rrig The first-time ferry rider on his way to Mariposa may think that all of those diverse middle-Canadian families are going to the folk festival as if the folk arts are really enjoyed by those who they’re named — after, instead of being another form of freak arts. But when the straight folks stream off the boat in different directions than the freak folks, it is clear that the vast majority of the eight thousand festival-goers is drawn from a small minority of the population. Many are called, but few choose to come. Endless legions of the select pilgrims trek through the picnic grounds to the Mariposa shrine, relocated this year at a more distant corner of Centre Island.

This painter, long connected with the School of ftris, has recently met the American art challenge by moving to New York and exhibiting amongst his high-flying competitors. Afhis last show, Noel emerged triumphant, being acknowledged as successful in steering his art through new directions - The relationship of business to the arts has always been a topic inviting heated discussion. Action taken in this field by individual companies has ranged from the inspired to the deplorable. An interesting example of one concern’s ventures into the art world is the exhibition of paintings from collection of the Marine Midland the the now on view at Albright-Knox Bank-Western, Art Gallery for an indefinite period. One’s curiosity is directed, of course; toward the kind and quality of the art purchased for an institutional collection, and also the process and people responsible for the selection of the works. Let us first consider the paintings themselves, though, leaving the other questions for later. As it turns out, despite certain lapses, the quality of the pieces is good. In mentioning specifics, this reviewer is into a commanding style. abased on Pale” is “Morning each checkerboard-like grid with X’s transversing square, pencil-drawn on raw canvas and tilted about ten degrees counterclockwise. Over various grid segments are superimposed smudgy lines of extremely deep purple. Inside the purple streaks are set thin stripes of sand-textured yellow. This simple sounding format has been handled to create a work of great vitality. Out of the web The grid is lively and sensitive scattering of A elements. overpainted dynamic, semi-rigid structure which remains results, steadfastly incomplete to the eye, allowing the slender bands to slip and shuttle one’s gaze over the surface. freely moderately and Gradually concentrating the colored stripes toward the bottom, the painting entices the viewer into a visual game of chutes and ladders. Noel’s work is simultaneously complex and calm, and quite satisfying. Another fine work is that of the formalist artist-critic Walter Darby Bannard. “Chatumec No. 2” presents Bannard’s typically odd, sweet-and-sour palette (here lilac, dulled pink, powder blue and mustard) that he always measures out in tasteful proportions to deliver a lyrical yet solid painterly presence. Forever modifying his style, this painting reflects the artist’s 1970 compositional recipe, based loosely on the theories of Hans Hofmann. Long thin rectangles, eroded by variable hues, float somewhat centrally in a shifting color field which alternately hides and reveals ‘residues of am ambiguous photo* by Bill Vaccaro framework of strut-rectangles. With all the murmuringly delicate optical shifts offered here, the viewer would do well td study this painting from across the room to get the necessary overview. Three languorous rivulet-ribbons wriggle across a light blue field in Raymond Parker’s “No. 26.” Considerably allusive to Matisse’s late collages, the smooth red, blue and black shapes have evolved from Parker’s earlier bulky, brushy ovoids. The green and black forms visually associate to permit a suggested feathery fall of the red element. A smallish work for the artist, it remains a sensitive one. _ M “Morning Pale" by George* Noel Page eight. The Spectrum Friday, 13 July ,, ~ Out of the past Just as Parker’s painting "Adventure No. 2" by Robert Goodrough . remarkably de-emphasized by the 1973 illustrates the stylistic progress of a so-called “second-generation abstract-expressionist,” so Grace Hartigan’s “Moon Landing” shows us what changes were wrought on her broadly painted abstract landscapes. Actual objects, constantly implied but never completed, now seem to jostle and pile atop each other. More “detailed” inexplicable imagery peeps out of the background. Hartigan’s shapes are deliberately clumsy, heavily outlined in black, and rendered in muted and dark colors such as grayed browns, ochers, terra cotta, deep green and restrained yellow. An overall impression registers some influence from Gorky and some from Miro, giving interesting results with a great latitude for development. Robert Goodnough’s “Adventure No. 2” from 1963 shows a continuation of his personal exploration of Cubism, wherein flat collage-like shapes scramble all over, with layering and complexities of depth coloration adding relationships. This artist happily concedes his considerable debt to Picasso enough to insert faces (dots for eyes, triangles for mouths) reminiscent of the master’s witty physiognomic shorthand. arrangement of the Goodnough’s cogent uncomplicated color scheme of mostly primaries with green and gray gives a feeling of a more variegated palette. ' Circular reasoning Worthy of mention also is the deceptively simple-looking painting by Alexander Liberman, consisting of merely a large blue dot on an incomplete white circle. Everything in “Omega XIV” pivots on the subtle placement, which holes the few elements in suspension, as if stopped in rotation. The blue circle constantly exchanges visual linkage between the white area and the black “background” in this example of Liberman’s flair for taking minimal pictorial incident and playing it for all it’s worth. Having noted the superior works in the show, if is now necessary to scrutinize the selection machinery responsible for the acquisition of the Marine Midland Bank collection. In a forward to the exhibit catalogue, Gordon M. Smith, recently retired director of the Albright-KnOx Art Gallery, mentions two names as being the primary arbiters of choice. He acknowledges his own advisory role it has been a privilege to have had a part in assembling the collection ...” and then declares that it is Seymour H. Knox who, through his enthusiasm, interest and dedication in obtaining distinguished examples of contemporary art for the bank, has been the person most responsible for the current exhibition.” — “ ... the buying power behind the vast majority of the contemporary art purchases for the Albright-Knox Art Gallery. Immediately, and quite naturally, one is irresistibly drawn to make comparisons of the relative astuteness of judgement evidenced between the two collections. It is most unfortunate to report that given the artists and styles mutually shared by these collections, the choices for purchase made for the bank are often better than those made for the art gallery. Examides, of course, are in order. The Albright-Knox owns four works by the artist Nassos Daphnis. Personally, I have never thought much of Daphnis’ work and, due to the low quality of this quartet of works (two small bland reliefs, an astoundingly vapid sculpture, and a targe bland painting), I consider these purchases taken as a whole to be a terrible waste of money. Four (or fewer) other good works could have easily been substituted to strengthen the collection. Daphnis' new deal However, such is not the case with the Daphnis owned by the bank. This nine-foot square painting, presenting a format of arcs radiating symmetrically from each corner, totally took me aback with its sheer visual power. Employing lustrous epoxy paint and an extremely simple design, this work dates from 1968. The Albright-Knox’s 98” high epoxy clunker dates from 1967. The bank, not the gallery, got the advantage of waiting it out until the artist crystallized his potential. Even more painful is seeing that painting by Georges Noel in the bank’s ownership. Noel originally made his name with an individual variation on matter painting, where he scratched lines into granular paint-paste. Geometry is a relatively recent and radical shift in direction. Mr. Knox made a gift to the gallery of a very early ‘hard-edge’ Noel, from right around the time the style switch was made, and once again the art institution is stuck with an aesthetic lemon while the bank chalks up a nice investment. This is not to say that the bank never got hit below the vault either A few years ago, Mr. Knox bought up a whole slew of paintings by Argentinian artists. These works comprise what is probably the biggest group blight currently festering in the gallery’s collection. — “ ... Direct purchasing In a conversation with museum personnel, this reporter was told that the Marine Midland’s selection was entirely Mr. Knox’s choice, with a few counsels from Mr. Smith. This raises some intriguing roads of exploration, since Mr. Knox (with somewhat more advice from Mr. Smith) is "Blue Bar" by Jack Bush Pandora’s paintbox With one eye belatedly on American ‘hard-edge’ and optical art, and the other on the cash register (certainly neither eye could have been looking at the paintings), a gang of these artistic unfortunates exploded forth with a deluge of mindless stripings, dottings and tapings. A few compose what 1 call the “Spirograph School” wherein the painters, obviously unconscious of their products, whip out silly little parodies of the children’s toy, with decidedly less originality than I have seen come from young users of the Spirograph. "Marlin's Magic" by Paul Jenkins �But even here the bank is better off. Only two of these assumed artists. Ary Brizzi and Eduardo A. MacEntyre (even the latter’s name seems suspect) got space from the Marine Midland, whereas the gallery has approximately ten of these horrors to waste its storage space. Other examples are also in evidence. Better works by Jenkins, Dorazio, Krushenick, Pearson and Sander are present in the bank exhibit. Often the improved quality is the outcome of simply giving an emerging artist time to mature, or giving a mature artist a chance to conquer a new style (e.g., Noel). In the case of Paul Jenkins, the too-early problem is glaring. His developed style is one of diaphanous color washes overlapped into loose amorphous forms. Although popular with the public, the artist has never gained much critical favor, including this writer. Jenkins’ canvases often lapse into unthinking splashes of prettiness with no formal framework. Exclusive double-seamed 20 gauge 95 MATTRESS ■ A matter of color With the Marine Midland’s picture, though, Mr. Knox picked up one of the better works by Jenkins that I’ve seen. There are even some passages of sensitive color at the top (in dark just a colors!), and the composition isn’t bad couple of garish hues mess up the bottom. But for the gallery, Mr. Knox was so early that he didn’t even catch a painting in Jenkins’ color-wash style. Instead, this purchase finds the artist at the end of a period of splotchy tachiste-type efforts. This freeform application might have become a fruitfully pursued trail, but in the gallery picture, it is left unresolved. So, zero points in a risky oeuvre to begin with. “Chickasaw 2” by Ludwig Sander is in the bank’s collection and is, I believe, a work superior to both examples of this artist’s painting in the gallery, dated 1960 and 1963. The slight diagonal skew of the lines in the bank’s picture, from 1970, adds a tension which efficiently enlivens the surface with something like a subtle centrifugal force. This type pf enumeration could go on. However, I would Jike to include another way the gallery got dealt a weaker hand. The Marine Midland Bank owns, as is revealed in this show, paintings by certain artists that the gallery does not even have, and that is really unsettling. Prominent among the omissions are Jack Bush, John Opper, Camille Graeser and Simon Hantai. - $24 WATER Complete waterbed package from includes: mattress, liner, heater, and .accessory kit Upholstered Pedestal Frames Butcher Block Teak and Rosewood £ u.

The Canadian painter, Jack Bush, however, is now doing his best work in a vein related to formalist and color-field painting. Mr. Knox selected “Blue Bar for the hank, a 1970 piece which catches Bush just this side of his recent loosening up toward the more eccentric usage of color and calligraphy for which he is now famous. Therefore, given the growing acclaim for this artist, it is doubly unpleasant to find the Albright-Knox lacking a picture by Bush. Why the bank should get the benefit of possession of a piece by an important artist while the institution involved with art, the gallery, goes without, is a question for which any answer would be illogical and inexcusable. When a patron of the arts splits his loyalty (or funds) like this, the best that can result is an awkward situation. The evaluation of Mr. Knox s contribution to the Albright-Knox Art Gallery is a major topic, and cannot be studied out of the context of all the past acqusitions, whether good will or bad.

And that’s what’s really behind the purity and red, white, and blue star-studded cowboy boots and emerald encrusted geetar straps of what they call Country-Western music fuckin’ ‘n’ fightin’ Weedin' and and it’s been goin’ on a lot longer than the likes of this new crop of countryoids you know, like if anyone of these guys ever set foot in the Palimino club they’d be well, 1 guess you understand. COUNTRY WHIMPS MAKE GOOD MAYBE!!! The thing which makes it even possible for me to listen to anything like Desperado the new one from Eagles is that I’m easy goin’ and seldom like to give anybody an even chance tear it apart intestine by intestine ’cept it turns out I think this album’s awright. It’s a conceptually oriented piece a mini-country opera Trout Jj the Daltons what were a hard-assed outlaw gang long time ago and these punks actually get away with it which is something Peckinpah can never seem to do which is somethin’ Dillinger did, for a while which is somethin’ the Daltons did for a while, till they got anyway, caught. As an insight into the philosophical perplexities ofbein’ an outlaw and an existentialist, and crap like that, it’s not as good as the Untouchables, or even Insight, but it’ll do even if it’s a bit sentimental not like Alice Cooper’s “Desperado” which tells the cold reality of what an outlaw ‘feels’ like ‘inside’ as he pulls that trigger which sends lead death inta some poor guy’s face. And if the record companies are smart, which I’m sure they are, they’ll release ‘Tequila Sunrise” as the single cause it’s the latest rage out thar in the land of alcohol even though I think it’s a lousy and an obvious attempt by the drink interlopers to say “hey looky here I’s drinkin’ tequila Let ’em even smell a good shot of sour mash and now sour mash, that’s an ass-kickin’ they’d puke their guts out drink maybe not just exclusively for ass—kickers, ‘cause alot of true “Lost” weekenders know where its at as far as sour mash goes. Then you have to contend with the likes of Commander Cody and the Lost Planet Airmen, a buncha swillers shitkickers (honorary) and just plain anachronistic folk. When the first album hit the stands like fly shit hits the wind everybody shrugged their shoulders arid went “Ohh, how crude but at least its American ..And when they got lost in their own persona] ozone and slammed the record on and found out these guys were into the psyche of the alcoholic almost a country addition to Alice “One Case A Day” Cooper and when they slide into “Family Bible” the only thing you could do was go on a cryin’jag. Then they did an album about trucks. They began the ever deadly road to popularity people" began to like ’em like they like the Dead, and the All-men Brothers. So’s it gets to be a little tuff, livin’ up to your own image and like Marc Bolan whose “Electric Warrior” was his only true statement. Commander Cody and his airmen are already outmoded and outdated and just plain out in the boondocks lookin’ back and sayin’ “what the hell!!!?!” Country Casanova is a record executive’s attempt at orgasm. Aimed at commerciality like a pud in search of a puddess. Right from a song lyrically devoted entirely to truckin’, fuckin’, etc. no radio play at all banned to the inevitable boogie numbe-: “Rock That Boogie” to the absolute sillyness of “Smoke! Smoke! Smoke!” and finally, “One Man’s Meat (Is Another Man’s Poison).” Country Casanova is so like everything else done by these guys that it makes you wonder if you’ve bought the second Ip or the third Ip or if you’re actually seeing them in concert or if you’re just so wacked out in the musical doldrums that everything sounds the same Which is probably the truth ’cause after awhile it all sounds the same, like shit, the album’s boring, repetitive and an almost assured waste of time, especially if you like to listen to Tammy Wynette, Porter Wagner, or just sit by the TV with your beer and bourbon and watch Hugh Hefner’s girlfriend, Barbi Benton, on Hee Haw which is probably the best show on the tube anyway. - — ... ... — ... - — - - — - - - - - ... - — - ... — - — — - - — - — - — ... - - —Joe Ferbacher Page ten The Spectrum Inriday, 13 July 1973 . . Delightful theater experience — by Steve Aminoff Spectrum Arts R eviewer Stratford’s Shakespeare Festival has shown itself to be one of the finest theatrical events on the North American continent. Accolade upon accolade keeps coming in from people of all theatrical tastes as to how wonderful a weekend in this quiet Canadian town can be. My personal choice for the sleeper of the festival just opened last week at Stratford’s “other” theater, a rejuvenated old vaudeville house called the Avon. ' the role is neat, clean and polished. Too polished. It drips with “the handsome young lover” overtones. Reality is lost. AD in aD, it’s the theatricality which carries the day in She Stoops to Conquer and makes one forget some of the disagreements one might have with the acting individually. The play has some sparkling moments and shouldn’t be missed by lovers of this type of theater. � * * Something elusive goes wrong with 'Stratford’s production of Othello.

The variety of Greenhalgh’s performance makes her one of the most interesting actresses to be found in the Festival. Jocular Doc Also to be noted is the joyful comic Jack Greley portraying the smooth-talking friend to the family, Doctor Spigelsky. He illuminates what is essentially the lackluster dialogue of Andrew MacAndrew’s translation from the original Russian. Greley has a lovely, resonant voice and positively magnetic presence; both of these he uses with optimum efficiency. The main house for the festival is a tremendous multi-gabled structure which gives an astounding sense of intimacy for a 2258 seat capacity house. With the way it’s been kept up, the 16 year old theater kicks like it might have been opened this season. ■■ The stage itself is thrust into a semi-circle of seating and has many functional features including a careful masking of the overhead lighting instruments. Another nice thing about the place is that the people who work there (and, indeed, throughout the town) are gentle, efficient, courteous, and generally a joy to stop and talk with. � � • She Stoops to Conquer is an old restoration comedy museumpiece and this season’s revival of last year’s offering. Written in reaction to the sentimental comedy which playwright Oliver Goldsmith perceived was ruining the late-eighteenth century English stage, the play is a bouncy, if terribly bourgeois (characteristic of this period of playwriting) comedy, occasionally rich in wit. Clearly leading the cast with a careful performance is Tony Van Bridge who plays Mr. Hardcastle, the kindly old master of an English country house. Van Bridge shows great enthusiasm in what could very easily be. an ordinary, stock characterization. Alan Scarfe, the young rage of these past two seasons, showed the prerequisite amount of energy for a successful portrayal of the young prankster, Tony Lumpkin. They love Mr. Scarfe in Stratford and far be it from me to take away from this potential cultural hero. However, at times he does seem to cling to his hand gestures and facial expressions (some curiously reminiscent of Frank Fontaine’s Crazy Guggenheim on the old Jackie Gleason Show) as though he might fall off a cliff were he to even briefly abandon them. Nuts to soup A problem with restoration comedy is that some people are convinced that all you have to do is throw some tricky bits of stage business into a bowl, add water, stir and you’ve got a performance. This is the fate of Marlow (played by Nicholas Pennell), the slender, blond young victim of Tony Lumpkin’s pranks. He tries to establish an abrupt little giggle as a motif for his performance. What he does establish is a boring, transparent theatrical device. Hastings, Marlow’s friend and traveling companion, has a different problem. His handling of insufficiently cutting the script. The Royal Shakespeare Company deleted no less than 625 lines in their production ofOthello this past winter. Booze brawl booed William also tries to turn a simple scene between two men into a Busby Berkeley production. Othello’s lieutenant Cassio, induced into a drunken stupor by lago, gets into a swordfight with Montano after the latter has accused Cassio of being drunk. All of a sudden everybody and his grandmother picks up a sword and starts battling with the person closest to him. The scene docs not work. The Stratford experience can be an amazing weekend and a most welcome relief from the grind of Buffalo existence. If money is a problem, one excellent way of cutting down costs is by staying at the Stratford youth hostel on Waterloo St. just off Ontario St. You can get accomodations there for as little as 50 cents or $2.50 if you feel you need linen to sleep comfortably. Have breakfast while you’re f there, too. Right across the street is the Queen’s Hotel. The prices for everything there .are tourist expensive except for the glasses of cold Canadian draught beer at the “Queen’s Court.” There’s also a lovely Bohemian-type coffee house called ‘The Black Swatv” at 31 Market Place. Admission is $1.50 which pays mostly for the folky live music every night. Having been twenty-one seasons in preparation, a splendid time is guaranteed for everyone. The Stratford Festival runs until October, but do yourself a favor and go soon. \ ■ - 4, « * �Guest Opinion by Michael Hudnut .

In his words, “Watergate stands for violence and murder.. Mr. Skolnick, a theorist and head of The Citizens Committee to Clean up the Courts in Chicago, advocates that the fatal flight of United Airlines Flight 553 last December 8 at Midway Airport, Chicago in which Mrs. Dorothy Hunt (wife of conspirator E. Howard Hunt) was among the 45 persons killed, wasn’t an accident. He isn’t just taking this from the blue »*.y; his investigation bares the fact that seven of the 43 passangers killed had cyanide in their bodies. There’s a likely explanation for this: the plastic seat covers in planes, when they burn, emit a lethal whiff or cyanide gas. Yet, the pilot of the plane, Capt. Wendell Whitehouse, inhaled .211 mg/ml, enough to kill nine times as many people. Even more inconsistent, of the trio in the cockpit, only Capt. Whitehouse died. Furthermore, the plane burst into flames after impact. Capt. Whitehouse died before they hit. Perishing with Mrs. Hunt was Michelle Clark of CBS TV’s “Morning News,” Rep. George W. Collins, a Democrat from Chicago, one Ralph Blodgett and one Jim W. Krueger, legal representatives for the Northern Natural Gas Company. According to Mr. Skolnick, Messrs. Blodgett and Krueger were transporting stock transfer statements that would have been embarrassing to John Mitchell if they got around. This may or may not be true; the documents were nevef recovered from the crash site. Mr. Skolnick contends ‘it was no coincidence that just after one-time General Richard Deputy Attorney Kleindienst threw out a 1969 anti-trust suit against the El Paso Natural Gas Company. Mitchell Mr. acquired “substantial ownership” in the company. El Paso and Northern Natural are rival producers. Northern was wrestling with an indictment alleging they paid East Chicago, Indiana Mayor John Nicosia $14,500 in bribes for an OK to lay some pipeline (later dropped). It’s obvious what Messrs. Boldgett and Krueger were up to. Unfortunately they never lived to see if they would succeed. Why did the Boeing 737 crash? The circumstances were characteristic of the pestered Was the cause of your downfall pro sports? Or was acting the bed for your torts?

On flight 553’s second >proach, word got to Capt. Whitehouse too late and he never pulled out of his approach. ( Mr. Skolnick’s strongest evidence of foul play is the coroner’s report. There are other particulars that don’t seem so incidental. The day after the crash, Egil Krogh, Jr. was elected Under Secretary in the Department of Transportation. Mr. Krogh has claimed responsibility for the break-in Of Daniel Ellsberg’s psychiatrist’s office. On December 19, Alexander P. Butterfield, a military and CIA man and deputy assistant to the President on domestic affairs, became head of the Federal Aviation Administration (which presides over the National Transportation Safety Board’s investigation of the Midway crash). Six weeks after the crash, Dwight Chapin, a Nixon secretary, started working in the United Airlines home office in Chicago. Mr. Nixon’s old personal lawyer, Herbert W. Kalmbach, has been a lawyer for United Airlines and Marrior Corp. (which serves in-flight food service for airlines). Mr. Skolnick disclaims most of the medias’ treatment of the Midway “accident.” Especially The Chicago Tribune's June 14 story which claims Mr. Skolnick hasn’t produced anything in writing. “We have 1300 pages of documentation,” he says. National papers are branding him “a liar.” The Citizens Committee to Clean up the Courts has been in operation for ten years, and they’ve done just that, erasing some of the impurities in the Illinois courts, including the original denouncement of Federal Court of Appeals Judge Otto Kerner. As the Watergate investigation floods our Republic’s shores, most of us can take and leave what we want of it. In light of the domino-like fashion that members of the Nixon administration are falling as the stain spreads, nothing can be overlooked. The appointments of key Nixon lieutenants into the pockets of United Airlines is just the type of strong-arming Mr. Nixon’s officials are paying for with resignations and indictments. To find out w..o’s responsible for the Midway catastrophe we should follow the trail of blood the culprits left behind. The Spectrum Susa sav Vol. 24, No. 5 1HF1RM.

Coach Leo Richardson, in his first year at the head spot for the Bulls, has used three of his five grants in trying to reshape a basketball program decimated by graduation. Mr. Richardson’s recruiting has been aimed at finding a front line to replace the likes of Curt Blackmore and Jim Tribble, as he apparently feels he has sufficient firepower at guard returning from last season’s squad. basketball Among the first recruits for the Bulls this season were a pair of center-forwards, 6-6W Mike Jones, a freshman from Akron, Ohio and 6—5 Tom Tobias, a transfer from Neosho CC in Chanute, Kansas. Should Buffalo’s search for a 6-8 center fail to produce a candidate for the middle slot, either of these players could possibly put in some time there next season. Jones, a left-handed shooter who averaged 16 points and 16 rebounds as a high school senior last year, was “recruited to play next year,” according to Mr. Richardson. Tobias is the same type player as Jones, but has two years of JC play under his belt, and hopefully can provide the experience that the Bulls vyill be sorely Jacking in some spots early in the coming season.

In a switch from ment Buffalo basketball past, there will be some height-in the Bulls’ backcourt this year. 6-3 forward guard Horace Brawley appears headed for backcourt duty this time around, and his backcourt mate could come from a pair of 6-3 freshmen recruits; Kevin Judge, from the Bronx, N.Y. and Glen Springs Academy, and Dave Ceisel, a local product from Tonawands, N.Y. Judge is “not yet comparable to Brawley, but has the potential to be as good as Horace,” said Mr. Richardson. A sharpshooting forward at GSA his senior year with a scoring average of 20.0 per game, Judge will most likely be placed in a guard spot come this winter. Bypassed the Cubs Geisel the attending is on a combined University baseball-basketball scholarship after turning down an offer to play professional baseball for the Chicago Cubs. Dr. Fritz, when notified of his intent to attend Buffalo this fall, said: “A young man of Dave’s ability will greatly enhance both our baseball and basketball future.” Despite the gratuation of Bob Vartanian and A1 Delman this past some solid spring, guard candidates are returning.

Mr. Dan was given until 10 a.m. Monday to obtain a stay from US. Supreme Court, if possible, by State Supreme Court Justice Carmen Ball.

No. 4 Friday, 29 June 1973 State University of New York at Buffalo Nixon vs. Congress Antiwar bill is vetoed —UPI Dean says Nixon discussed coverup, clemency with him President Nixon vetoes Congressional legislation to cut off funds for American bombing of Cambodia on Wednesday. The Senate immediately attached the no-bombing amendment to another bill. Mr. Nixon claimed the bill would “cripple or destroy” chances for a negotiated peace in Cambodia and strike “a serious blow” to U.S. credibility elsewhere in the world. Senate Democratic leader Mike Mansfield angrily denounced the President’s decision and vowed to get the same anti-war provision attached to bill after bill until in his words the will of the people prevails.” Sen. Mansfield warned that Mr. Nixon will be responsible for the shutdown of the federal , government if he persists in the air war. The anti-war provision was attached to a $3.4 billion supplemental money bill for federal agencies. The vetoed bill was sent back to the House, which failed to muster the two-thirds vote needed to override the veto. The amendment, which was the first cutoff of funds for Indochina to clear both houses of Congress, and applied to U.S. military activity in or over Laos and Cambodia. Despite the veto, as Mr. Mansfield said, Congress can attach the anti-war rider to bill after bill until the President is forced to sign it or the operations of government grind to a halt. — Former White House Counsel John Dean has testified that President Nixon knew of the Watergate cover-up, probably knew of the bugging plans beforehand, and then lied to the nation in Watergate statements earlier this year. In three days of testimony before the Senate Watergate Committee, Mr. Dean stuck to his story that Mr. Nixon knew of the cover-up as earl* as last September and hinted that the President had probably been aware of the bugging plans even before the ill-fated Watergate break-in June 17. Stating that he personally discussed elements of the covenup with Mr. Nixon in March of this year, the ex-counsel said the President lied to the nation when he said in April that he had no first-hand knowledge of White House involvement in the case. Mr. Dean told the Senators that he personally had provided the first-hand knowledge to the President. The 34-year-old lawyer said Mr. Nixon personally discussed with him, in March of this year, hush money for the Watergate defendants, executive clemency, and plans for blocking various Watergate investigations. Although testifying under committee immunity, Mr. Dean asserted he was not seeking to implicate the President in order to escape punishment. He repeatedly testified that there was no doubt in his mind that Mr. Nixon knew of the cover-up after their meeting in the White House’s Oval Office last September 15. He was congratulated by Mr. Nixon and former Chief of Staff H.R. Haldeman on the way he was handling the Watergate at that meeting, Mr. Dean said. Cover-up discussed Sen. Edward Gurney, Republican from Florida, tried to get Mr. Dean to furnish something to support his .charge that he was convinced of Mr. Nixon’s knowledge of the cover-up following that September 15 meeting. Pointing to the congratulations he received for doing a good job, Mr. Dean was asked by Sen. Gurney if it was possible to read so much into a single statement. The ex-counsel said the meeting lasted about 30 or 40 minutes and included a number of topics, including the upcoming trial of the Watergate defendants. When Mr. Gurney insisted that Mr. Dean tell the committee exactly what the President said, Mr. Dean fired back; “My mind is not a tape recorder but it does record the impressions of meetings very well.” In a rundown of his meetings with the President, Mr. Dean said he and Mr. Nixon discussed Watergate cover-up activities on February 28, March 13 and March 21. At their March 13 meeting, Mr. Dean said the President told him that convicted Watergate conspirator E. Howard Hunt had been given assurances of executive clemency. - Mr. Dean also testified that the 1970 plan for domestic spying by use of burglary, wiretapping and mail monitoring which had supposedly been shelved after FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover objected was actually advanced when an administrative structure aimed at overseeing the domestic intelligence unit was put into operation. Secret memorandum tending to support Mr. Dean’s charges were released by the committee Tuesday after it persuaded the White House to declassify them. The media has already reported that portions of the domestic intelligence plans were put into effect against the Berrigans, the Chicago Seven, the Panthers and later led to the Watergate and Daniel EUsberg burglaries. - - — ‘Grotesquely unwise’ “If to him (Mr. Nixon) the bombing of Cambodia is more important than the functioning of American government, that’s his decision,” said Sen. Thomas Eagleton (D., Missouri), author of the amendment. He said such a decision would be “grotesquely unwise.” Other Senators predicted a Constitutional crisis, but asserted that Congress will decide when the U.S. will go to war. After joining the Senate Tuesday in approving the cutoff for U.S. bombing of Cambodia, the. House turned to consideration of amendments that would block any new money for military activity. One proposal would prohibit any new spending for the bombing. Another would ban use of new spending for any U.S. military activities in Indochina The vetoed bill applies to use of present and past funds for bombing The two new amendments were defeated in the House Appropriations Committee, although bombing opponents said they would carry the fight to the House floor. Before the President’s veto Wednesday, Mr. Mansfield vowed that if Mr. Nixon vetoes the bill, he will not get the S3.4 billion, because the Senate will not reapprove the money. White House political blacklist The White House kept a list of “political enemies” consisting of politicians, newsmen, labor leaders and businessmen so that the Administration could harass them, John Dean told investigating Senators Wednesday. Among a dozen documents containing information about White House foes which Mr. Dean submitted, was a June 12, 1972 memorandum to Dean from then presidential counselor Charles W. Colson. The memo said a tax audit should be ordered against Harold Gibbons, a Teamsters Union vice president who was called an “all-out enemy, a McGovemite.” Mr. Dean said the enemies list was “extensive and continually updated” and was part of White House plans t? p* ftp Internal Revenue Service (IRS) and othff>ft#Tll agencies against political Nixon. Mr. Dean put it opponents of this way: ‘To use the available federal machinery screw our political opponents.” to According to the Washington Star-News, the list included Senators Birch Bayd (D., Ind.), J. William Fulbright (D., Ark.), Harold Hughes (D., Iowa), George McGovern (D., S. Dak.), Edward M. Kennedy (D., Mass.), Walter F. Mondale (D., Minn.), Edmund S. Muskie (D., Me.), Gaylord Nelson (D., Wise.) and William Proxmire (D., Wise.). Also included were New York City Mayor John V. Lindsay, Alabama Gov. George C. Wallace, Democratic Party Chairman Robert Strauss, former vice presidential candidate R. Sargent Shriver, former Senators Fred Harris (D., Okla.) and Eugene McCarthy (D., Minn.), and the black members of the House of Representatives. The list of journalists was three pages long. Among the names were columnists James Reston and Tom Wicker of the New York Times, Mary McGrory of the Washington Star-News, Tom Braden, Rowland Evans, CBS correspondent Daniel Schorr, columnist Jack Anderson, NBC newsman Chet Huntley, and Edwin O. Guthman of the Los Angeles Times, a former Robert Kennedy aide. Also tagged as White House enemies were labor leaders Leonard Woodcock and Paul Jenning, Harvard economist John Kenneth Galbraith, former John F. Kennedy aide Arthur Schlesinger, Jr., actors Paul Newman, Gregory Peck and Jane Fonda, General Motors heir Stewart Mott, the National Committee for the Impeachment of the President and the National Welfare Rights Organization. �* Lockwood lot Bike area built to sfbp thefts J TheUUAB Fine Arts Film Committee A “UB Bike Compound” has been built in a fenced-in area behind Lockwood Library to reduce a preponderance of bicycle thefts that has plagued this campus. Presently, there is an ample nufnber of bike racks on campus but complete protection for them has been lacking. With bicycles becoming an increasingly popular mode of transportation, partially due to rising gasoline and car prices, growing concern for their security has been expressed by campus bike owners and members of the UB Bike Club, The bicycle compound was first proposed by the Student Association two years ago during the administration of Ian DeWaal. According to present SA treasurer Ken Unker, however, “the plans couldn’t get off the ground until stronger efforts were made by the present administration.”The SA is now actively funding the project and campus security has pledged its support in maintaining a smoothie operation. Attendant The compound will operate Monday through Friday during the hours of 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. with an attendant to keep tabs on the bicycles. Cyclists will be required to fill out two registration cards. One will be kept on file as the owner’s permanent registration: the other will be held by the owner and presented to the attendant when leaving. Observing that registration will be carefully checked, Mr. linker I I Norton Con ference Theatrel CALL 831-5117 FOR TIMES I 3 !

The only forseeable problem, SA officials feel, might be a lack of support for the compound by campus riders. They were concerned because students may prefer to park their bikes outside buildings where their classes are instead of at the centrally located Lockwood lot. Campus Security is hopeful that the area will be successful and has advised all bike riders to make use of it. And as one harried bike rider put it’ “When I bought my bike 1 never thought I’d be married to it. At least now I can spend some time away from it without having to worry.” New Attica charges possible; out-of-state law tiers banned The threat of another set of indictments concerning the activities of Attica inmates prior to the September 1971 uprisings clouded the Attica courtroom Wednesday. The indictments are the result of further probes from presents said: ‘There isn’t any possible way by which a bike could be ripped-off if parked in the compound.” Lee Griffin, assistant director of Campus Security, agreed that the closely-watched bike compound was the best method of preventing theft. Quoting statistics which demonstrated an increase of stealing on this campus in recent months, he said; “You wouldn’t believe some of the bolt cutters those kids carry!” the Wyoming County Grand Jury. Defense Counsel Donald Jelinek requested that the defendants subject to these new charges be notified immediately by Judge Carmen Ball. He pleaded that the new charges by the Grand Jury not be sealed; “The last ones which were sealed caused the most inhuman and sadistic treatment of the defendants.” He claimed that the failure of the state to clarify the charges was a form of harrassment against his clients. Judge Ball, refusing to comment on the upcoming indictments, ruled Mr. Jelinek’s motion out of order.

Circulation: 10,000 �Mothers demand *slow down to speeding campus trucks 5 A cluster of irate mothers converged oh the Amherst Campus’s Bear Ridge Road entrance last week to do verbal battle with the drivers of a score of monstrous, ten-wheel trucks. For several weeks now, the trucks have been transporting massive quantities of soil and stone to Amherst from the Niagara Frontier Quarry to facilitate the laying of four and a half miles of pavement for the new campus. Because the drivers are paid a set rate for each load, many have been traveling the largely residentail route at speeds of up to 75 miles an hour. Bearing picket signs with the captions “Let our children play in No cutbacks expected Noting that any administrative move will not hinder the station’s funding. Dr. Gelbaum said: “We certainly don’t propose to curtail the budget. In some respects it will become more intense.” According to station manager James Campbell, questions of who should be responsible for electronic media on campus have been raised before, “but administrative pressure has recently brought it to a head.” In the event of a switch, he felt the station could face a dilemma in the area of staffing. Currently, WBFO is staffed mostly by volunteers who, Mr. Campbell noted, are strongly committed to the idea of non-commercial radio, providing an alternative to Buffalo commercial radio. “A significant change in programming might be unacceptable to the,” he said, adding that a loss of experienced personnel could be a major stumbling block to the station’s future operations. Dr. Gelbaum stressed that everything concerning WBFO is speculative at this point and that no definite action will be taken until he receives the position papers on July 31. safety,” and “Stop speeding and passing,” the group arrived at Amherst vowing to block the entrance of the new campus until the drivers agreed to slow down. Ground shakes “I shudder when my off her school bus,” proclaimed a frantic mother to one of several Amherst policemen that soon arrived on the scene. “When those goddamn trucks pass by,” said another, the ground shakes so much your head gets knocked off the gets ‘idoFiiSl “ pillow.” Armed with a petition addressed to head trucker John Carredor(i requesting that he “ensure the safety of the mothers and children who live on Bear Ridge Road,” the group demanded to see him personally. “We know that these drivers work on a per tonnage basis,” said one mother. “We don’t begrudge them a good living; we don’t ask that they change their route. We do ask that they respect the posted speed limits, the yellow passing lines and all highway safety laws.” “Because they’re contracted on a ■ per tonnage basis,” reiterated Mrs. George Mason, one of the more vocal women, “the more they bring in the more they get paid. This is why they break the law.” Another was concerned because there had been a- near tragedy in the proceeding weeks when a speeding truck “almost rammed into a school bus full of children.” While major television networks arrived on the scene and the trucks continued pouring in and eM of Amherst, the mothers waited more than an hour for Mr. Carredori. Convinced he had departed just prior to their arrival and was insensitive to their complaints, their frustation mounted. A policeman’s demand that they leave the area was met with a barrage of refusals. Tensions climaxed when a few of the drivers began taunting the women by slowing down to a standstill as they entered the new campus. Responding at last, a wave of mothers swept across the entrance to prevent any other vehiciles from entering. As soon as another truck arrived however, the women retreated to the side of the road. Refusing to be ruffled, the women kept waiting for Mr. Carredori as the police attempted to locate him. Approximately two hours after they had amassed at Amherst, he finally arrived and listened to their complaints. Clutching two of his own children, Mr. Carredori denied '/£\ prior knowledge of the situation but promised he would take steps to remedy it. “You have my word \ / After she says "OK", bring her . the nicest place to to Erik ' .. shop for handcrafted wedding bands.

The decision which will be based on a position paper to be drafted by both Coninuing Education and ICC rests with Vice President of Academic Affairs Bernard Gelbaum. Dr. Gelbaum said that as a result of the decision, programming might change.

That is the story. Additionally, the military regime received considerable military aid from the United States, as well as respectability for its dictatorial regime. In return, the U.S. was allowed to maintain a military base in Greece. That military base is the major American (and NATO) stronghold in the Mediterranean. However, signs of discontent surfaced early this year. Students in Athens held demonstrations, Greece’s booming economy began to sputter and corruption in the military regime was reported (although not in the government-controlled media). These events set the stage for last month’s aborted overthrow of the Papadopolous regime. The proposed coup, according to Newsweek Magazine, was a “carefully calibrated effort involving the majority of Greece’s naval units as well as units of the air force and army.” ... ... ... . Full-scale purge The plot called for the navy to seize the island of Crete, with assistance from the air force.

On the university level, students are often required to follow programs that have either become outdated and no longer fill their needs, or are too strictly defined to allow for any flexibility. Given the average course load and its contents, it is. not difficult to see why students have become subjects of frustration and discouragement. In many cases, dissatisfaction with one’s courses stems from their not posing enough of a challenge. Students are often left feeling that they are not meeting their full potential and thus begin to view their education as wasteful. In other cases, students, regardless of the challenge their present load may pose, merely yearn for that something “extra” and cannot feel fulfilled until they Innovation to - have it. Perhaps the latter instance more appropriately describes the students currently involved with the State University at Buffalo’s Law School’s joint degree program. An industrious lot, these students are aiming not only for their JD degrees, but for their doctorates in an academic discipline as well. Perseverance “It’s a heavy load,” remarked Terry DiFillipo, law student and prospective doctoral candidate in philosophy, “but it’s the only way for me.” Mr. DiFillipo reflected that for him the challenge was a “necessary” one, pointing out that in addition to pursuing his law degree and PhD in philosophy, he is a teaching atsistfnt and the Graduate Student Association vice president. When questioned on this unusually cumbersome schedule, Mr, DiFillipo replied that students involved in this program do not have it any easier, but like him, are determined to see it through. The program, which was informally implemented four years ago, provides for the Lochner, associate dean. He continued that “now many students believe they should have a good grasp of what is going on in the academic world as opposed most brands of equipment lowest prices' full manufacturer's warranty and most importantly FRIENDLY, PERSONALIZED SERVICES! — I ■ For information or a price quote call - ■THE STEREO EMPO 835-3548 y our VjnWe^ to merely knowing what appellate cases say.” Dr. Mix explained that students interested in pursuing the joint degree program must first be accepted by both the law school and the academic department in which they seek to do graduate on work. The first year, she said, students must take all their courses in the law school. Students then leave their law studies for a semester to work in their academic fields. They next return to the law school where they are permitted to take three elective courses which are in the student’s academic specialty. Students then complete their law studies “in tandam” and proceed to work on their doctorates.

The problem with the program is funding, Dr. Lochner said. Law schools do not have the monetary resources of graduate schools and thus, cannot offer their students' any financial aid. Most students, however, have been fortunate enough to have acquired teaching grants. Mr. DiFillipo noted that in his case, the philosophy department was quite “generous,” not only with providing funds, “intertwining” of law and an academic discipline in the hope that the student involved will but in applying his law credits ultimately “synthesize” his or her towards his doctorate degree. fields of study.

John Dean has testified that he personally discussed the Watergate cover-up plans with President Nixon. According to the ex-counsel, he discussed executive clemency for the Watergate defendants, hush money to guarantee their silence, and ways to block investigations into the scandal with Mr. Nixon. Mr. Dean further stated that the President knew of the cover-up as early as last September, and lied to the nation in April when he said he had no first-hand knowledge of White House involvement; Mr. Dean said he supplied the President with that first-hand knowledge. It must be remembered that Mr. Nixon has already admitted, in one of his now-famous retreats, that he ordered parts of the Watergate investigation curtailed for reasons of "national security." The Dean allegations have exposed that ploy as a convenient rationale. While the ex-counsel's charges of Presidential involvement are not the equivalent of hard evidence, the Senate Committee must determine, with the use of supporting documents, other testimony and subpoenaed White House logs, which of his charges are factually substantiated. Notwithstanding the White House campaign of character assassination prior to his testimony, the Dean track record is a good one. His leak regarding 35-40 meetings with the President was first denied, then confirmed by the White House. His hints of the 1970 domestic intelligence plans sounded fantastic, but were later verified. (He testified in detail how parts of that plan were actually something established by put into effect the media weeks ago.) All this is no reason to accept his entire testimony as fact, and it is the Senators' job to weed out the hearsay. But if a fraction of the charges of Presidential involvement in the cover-up can be substantiated, the Senate will have no choice but to impeach Richard Nixon for obstruction gf justice. — People seem to have tired of the scandal lately; tired of the endless allegations (and endless publicity), they rather wish the whole thing would go away. But such thinking again ignores the larger questions, not only of the Nixon incumbency, but of the burgeoning power of the modern Presidency and the governmental tactics. And to those who oppose impeachment because of the polarization it will tying and because it will "wreck the system," we ask: Can the American system look the other way when a President obstructs justice and still retain a shred of credibility? Turning again to the larger questions, we have already denounced the tactics of influence peddling (ITT, dairy prices, wheat deal), judicial tampering (Berrigans, Panthers, Chicago 7, Ellsberg), wiretaps of government staff and newsmen, and domestic spying, including burglary, surveillance and seizure of mail. The Nixon Administration has sought to condone many of these police state tactics, particularly wiretaps, with the rationale of "national security." One of the most disturbing revelations of the Dean testimony, however, has shot that excuse full of holes and exposed it as "political security." Mr. Dean has submitted e White House list of political enemies of President Nixon, who were targeted for such harassment tactics as IRS tax audits. Mr. Dean produced a Colson memo ordering a tax audit against Teamsters official Harold Gibbons because he was "a McGovernite." Conversely; the White House called off a promising tax prosecution involving Gov. George Wallace's brother Gerald after Wallace agreed not to run as a third-party candidate in 1972. Others on the enemy list include last year's ticket of George McGovern and Sargent Shriver, a host of Democratic Senators including Kennedy, Muskie and Fulbright, three pages of journalists including James Reston, Tom Wicker, Jack Anderson, Chet Huntley and Daniel Schorr, black members of the House, businessmen, celebrities, labor leaders, and just about anyone else who earned Mr. Nixon's disfavor. Such blatant misuse of federal machinery "to screw political opponents" is astonishing. The preponderance of journalists on the list lends credence to all past allegations of a Nixon attack on the free press, as do instances of tapping newmen's phones. The preponderance of Democrats reeks of political tactics American previously associated with Kremlin purges of disagreeable Politburo members. Such totalitarian tactics have no place in a democracy. We hope the public and the Senate realize this and will take any steps, from new legislation to impeachment, to cleanse our system of these evils. Remember, if it had not been for a vigorous press, a strict judge and a few quirks of fate, this would all be continuing, with an unaware public, as business as usual in Richard Nixon's White House. Stop the Bombing! Mr. Nixon's veto of the Congressional bill to cut off funds for the U.S. bombing of Cambodia vyill, in the opinion of many Senators, precipitate a Constitutional crisis. In vetoing the bill, the first antiwar measure ever to pass both Congressional houses, Mr. Nixon has forfeited $3.4 billion in supplemental money for federal agencies to which the bill is attached. Mr. Nixon's rationale for the veto amounts to an updated version of the domino theory: that without U.S. bombing Cambodia may turn Communist, in turn affect the Vietnam peace, in turn undermine our internaticnal credibility. The hypocricy of these statements after spending a week wining and dining the most powerful leader in the Communist world is evident. But Congress has made it clear that it does not intend to acquiesce to continuation of the Page six. The Spectrum Friday, 29 June 1973 . senseless human destruction in Cambodia. Sen. William Fulbright has promised that Congress will attach the antiwar rider to bill after bill, until the President is either forced to sign it or the federal government. This strategy must succeed. A few months ago, the legislature might have backed down. But now that White House credibility and "clout" have plummeted. Congress has at fast found the determination to reassert its constitutional responsibility: to decide when and where this country will go to war. Write to your senators, write to your representatives, and let them know they have your support in this crucial battle. Mr. Nixon cannot unilaterally conduct a one-man campaign of bombing and destruction against Asians with the tax money of the American people. In the words of Sen. Fulbright, he must bend to "the will of the people." . . SO DIAN TESTIFIES THAT IHRLKHMAN TOiO HIM THAT MITCHIU HAD SAID THAT HI . COLSON hah D . Political sabotage To the Editor: Inadvertently, Jon Dande;’ veto of WNYPIRG has recently come to my attention. 1 am sure this action has-also come to the attention of The Spectrum editors. However, the majority of the student body and the university community are probably unaware of this action. ’ As in all situations involving political sabotage (Watergate, Pentagon Papers, etc.), the people are forced to rely on only one source to give them a complete and accurate account of what has occurred. This source has invariably been a free and active press. While it is important to know the facts and circumstances surrounding the issue, it is imperative that the more subtle implications of this matter be realized. Jon Dandes’ veto of P1RG brazenly violating the mandate of the student assembly, suggests the same kind of pragmatic and totalitarian philosophy which has characterized the Nixon administration. That this type of immoral philosophy has reached the student government of this University is quite frightening and appalling. If is now the responsibility of our press not only to undertake a vigorous and ardent campaign to expose the facts of the PIRG affair but to make clear the imminent disaster which results from such narrowminded and egotistical politics. - Tony Medaro Porno To the Edit* The Sui grant comm publications) literary, art only limits poses the material will As an attending normal or “masturb exhibitioi mounting Justice Wi guidelines” material to The product consisting Justice By; seeks to Unresponsiveness subjective Where; To the Editor. think to t This letter is written to express my indignation over the actions of Jon Dandes concerning PIRG. His veto is clearly an act of irresponsibility and unresponsiveness to student wishes. It is quite obvious that Dandes was leaned on by someone from the administration. I ask if this is the type of leadership the students want. Dandes’ actions were clearly meant to undermine the actions taken by the Student Association in supporting and funding PIRG. Because of the timing of his actions, the Student Association is powerless to take any action to overrule his veto. By sending our funding proposal back to the Assembly in September, Dandes has effectively prevented PIRG’s funding for the fall semester a loss of almost $12,000. With this money, UB would have become a vital, active member in the state PIRG with the ability and resources to carry out important projects, take action on its findings, and organize other schools in the Western New York area. As it stands, we have been again reduced to the same position that we held this year a struggling student club that has to devote all its energies to just keeping alive. The University at Buffalo has already gained notoriety as the first school in the nation whose students oppose PIRG. We are convinced that in the continuing battle, truth, justice, and PIRG will prevail. explicit m; scientific value for my now en For those wht them shut th neve, had any - - lU rbtuy Michele Smith *NOW YOU �Godspell ‘Bucking and winging its way around religion by lay Boyar Asst. Arts Editor vaudevilliam business which often fail, which are nevertheless integral parts of the mood of the film 9 how these snowballing mood-inducing production numbers could have initiated long periods of applause in a stage performance. Beyond the sea of acid cynicism, far from the suburbs of sophistication is a happy, carefree land. It is on the unabashed outskirts of ostentation, nestled in groves of gumdrops. Exactly how to find it, very few people know. But it is there. How does anyone know it exists? Simple. Just as any other place proclaims its existence, so does this sheltered land: by its people and products. Who lives there? Well, Timmy, for one. You know, Timmy from the old Louie series. Who else? Well, those well, probably about half kids from Family Affair and the kids on T.V. and in the movies live there. Who else? Danny Thomas spent a lot of time there, and Joel Grey and Liza Minnelli. Those paintings of the kids with the enoromous eyes came from there too. Most of the world’s dimples arc! made there, and those “Love Is . ..” cartoons, and well you gettheidea. What is this place? Surely by now everyone recognizes the celebrated Kingdon of Cutesy. It is hard to describe Cutesy to someone who has never seen it. Although its name implies the contrary, absolutely nothing in Cutesy is actually cute. Oh, everyone and everything from Cutesy tries his damnedest to be cute, but nothing ever is. - .. . Maim that tune This abandoned, furious, and almost reckless celebration of the eye makes the contrived charm of the film somewhat more palatable. Encouraging this wild mood are the songs of Stephen Schwartz. Some ttye them are familiar. “Day By Day,” an AM radio favorite with insipid lyrics, is probably the best known. Some of the other lyrics are just as insipid. Some aren’t. The tunes do move along though, and the production numbers are beautifully staged, with the help of those sweeping cameras. Songs build to crescendoes which help us forget how silly some of the words are. It is easy to see As a whole, the indistinct cast has nice singing voices. The actor playing Jesus is amply charismatic in his pseudo-Superman shirt. His betrayer, a bearded and brown-maned actor, is especially endearing. It would be nice to see more of this young fellow who almost steals the show from Jesus. Bucking and winging its way around religion, Godtpell will probably be here for a while. If the bumper stickers that say “Jesus Lives” don’t bother you, and if you like the ‘Soft-Touch* greeting cards, go see this film now. Otherwise, you can always catch the late show at the local drive-in in the kingdom of Cutesy. Down the drain Case in point. If an infant just learning to speak points oonn”, that’s not only to a toilet bowl and says “NNiixx true, it’s cute! In fact, it’s damned cute! Now, if the kid’s father takes a picture of him pointing to the toilet, goes to work with the photo, and tells all his friends whqt his baby said, it is no longer really cute. It is still very true and in fact it may also be funny, but it stopped being cute when he was searching for the flashcubes. Get This. If a big movie company hearts about that man and his kid, and spends millions of dollars to film a musical based on the kid and his “unbridled and innocent social commentary” then it is no longer cute or funny. It may still be true, but what it is more than anything else is cutesy. And chances are that it comes from the kingdom of Cutesy. Cutesy’s latest success story is a little number called Godspell now playing at the convenient Kensington theater. It is based on a stage play of the same name which was based upon the Gospel according to St. Matthew, which was based on the frolicksome, true-life adventures of that original superstar, J.C. No, Ed. not Johnny Carson. Godspell takes some parables from Matthew, mixes them with some music, and gives them to an unknown troupe of young actors to schmaltz up. The cast mugs a lot, does imitations, and piecemeal bits of ancient comedy. They sing, talk in silly voices, and attempt dialects. It wants ever so much to be cute. It is cutesy. — Needling die threads For instance, the cast is garbed in ragamuffin clothing. Now, real people dancing around in grubby clothing may indeed be cute, but similar antics on film are embarrassing. Some wardrobe supervisor had to stay up nights thinking about those supposedly makeshift outfits. “Do you think another pink patch on the blue jeans would look a touch too tacky,” he might have asked the director in all seriousness, “or is it that ‘just-out-of-thc-garbage-can’ look that we’ve bbeen after? Is there any way to avoid being cutesy when trying to be cute in a film? Maybe, but Godspell never finds that formula. It is clearly and neatly packaged like a box of undulated staples, and brazenly sold with the affected charm of a shoe-salesman. Various churches have tried to take the simple, innocent teachings of Jesus and bring them to the masses. In so doing, they employ pomp, ceremony, organs, gowns, collars and hugger-mugger. Is it any wonder that the simple message has become perverted? Similarly, by attempting to deal with the “joy of youth” and the “cute charm of the gospel,” Godspell ’s product is twisted out of shape. This film does have a saving grace. Although it was based on a stage production, Godspell is incredibly visual. The entire city of New York is its stage, and director David Greene uses the Big Apple to full advantage. There are landscapes, seascapes, airscapes, and skylines. Colors and hopping and dancing keep everything moving.

No! But the inside cover paintings are real nice and remind me of all the Robert Heinlein novels, that kinda kinky Utopian vision of floatin' away to other worlds and landing, with a cosmic thud like James Blish’s Spindizzy tales, can you imagine lifting New York City off into space, well he did, and it’s a great book, ‘Cities in Flight’ The paintings are almost as good as Gowlik’s Oyster covers, even though these paintings are much softer in intention, and Gowlik’s are metallically angular just like the Cult. Yes, well, not really. - - . uperfly TNT’ Differentfrom the original by Mitchell Lipchitz Spectrum Film Reviewer .Super Fly T.N.T. opens with a cut scene sequence of retired cocaine hustler Priest (Ron O’Neal) and his woman (Sheila Frazier) cruising down a street in Rome in a Lamberguini, to an armored car carrying weapons somewhere in West Africa. As Priest makes his way to a private poker game, the armored car is ambushed and blown up. What does all this have to do with Super Flyl This small West African nation (Umbia) is fighting for its independence and it needs weapons badly. All they have for capital is uncut diamonds which no one will accept. It just so happens that attending the opening card game, besides Priest, is the representative of the Umbian resistance group, played by Roscoe Lee Browne. He learns of Priest’s past escapades and decides he’s the man tp help turn those diamonds into cash. (Shit! That’s a long way from Lexington Avenue and “Freddy’s Dead”). As far as the doctrine of movie sequels goes, Super Fly T.N.T does not follow through. Instead of taking the idea of Priest, slick cocaine dealer, and intensifying it, the studio takes the.same actors, puts them in their previous roles and uses the appropriate title, but buys the wrong script and kills the aura that people remember from the original Super Fly. Making the scene Yet the movie has a number of redeeming qualities. The entire flick is shot on location in Italy - - and SenegaJ, West Africa, creating entertaining and beautiful background scenery. Ron O’Neal is the same old Priest: very smooth, very loquacious and very stoned. If you can get into watching him groove through Europe and dig on his quick-witted mind, it’s a lot of fun. The outfits he wears in different scenes are great; he’s in the middle of Europe and Africa and he still looks like he’s all duded up for a night at the Apollo. The camera work stands on its own merits tpo. There’s a couple of interesting ideas in the editing of the film, especially a nice montage sequence when Priest is in Africa. It reflects the cultural aspects of the movie, which tell us and Priest where his heritage started. Another really good facet of the movie is the music, which is all done by Osibisa. I happened to see this group last summer in Europe. They play a kind of rock music African style. They’re the perfect group for this movie because they blend Priest’s American background with his Africanness and supply some very good and original sound-tracking. On the whole, Super Fly T.N. T. doesn’t compare to Super Fly. But who ever said it had to? It’s a good entertaining movie with exciting scenes, glamorous conditions and good music. If you go to see this one, don’t entirely rely on the original movie, rather keep it in mind. It’s a different movie with familiar ideas.

Last tinje I saw Kim Fowley was when he was emcee at a rock ‘n roll revival in Toronto, “Yeah, kids, the surprise of the day, there’s this plane on its way over the Atlantic Ocean” so’s there I was when Kim introduced the world to the Plastic Ono Band with Eric and Klaus and Yoko and John and Kim tellin’ everybody to light up their matches and give’em a warm welcome “Well, we’re International heroes with the teenage blues” just might be in the line of the year, conceptually speaking it’s a lot better than Aladdin Sane and Kim’s a lot better than Bowie cause he is thereal David Bowie. Coming from the histories of the Trashman, Skip and Flip, and producing everybody, he’s the true rock ‘n’ roll star, the quintessential punk, and he’s almost ar honest as Wild Man Fischer, but Fischer is rock ‘n’ roll’s only Moses, “Hey wanna buy an original song for a dime” now that’s rock V roll, not any of this $20,000 a night Grateful Dead bullshit. Kim’s Ip is an example of balanced production, lyrical beauty and pure form spirit. International Heroes is already being recorded some place by the Byrds or at least that’s what I’ve been told and in the age of Kinky Friedman, the tour possibilities are endless.

I’m afraid I’m expecting too much. I’m not an easy person to please. Inside people are standing, finding seats, playing with balloons and beach balls. It’s all familar. We’re a multitude, packed tight as a corncob. The lights go down low. I’ve never seen so may pilot lights. Nick Mason’s drums are painted with a seascape. Expansions of amplifiers and electronic equipment and.speakers span the stage. Gilmour, Mason, Waters and Wright come out. They tune for a bit. Their first set begins, a collage of earlier songs. John Cage once said he thought music would reach the level when consonance could be achieved with the use of electronics. He might’ve had the synthesizer in mind. They play “Set The Controls For the Heart Of The Sun”. The mikes are on echo. Beneath the banks of multicolored lights Roger Waters evokes his bass and voice through waterfalls. He assaults a gong 360 degrees of flame. A space suited figure hangs aloft. The lights are in constant trajection. I think they’re the care of Mick Lowe. “Axes & Comets” ‘‘Careful With That Axe, Eugene” begins somewhere in excess of first worldly. Musical plenty. Rick Wright, only his head showing above his equipment, is doing extraordinary things back there. There’s an organ and something much like it, but a different device, that evades like a comet. “Echoes.” 1 haven’t heard the word transversing for awhile. None of them seem to be setting the pace. They just fall into step. Gilmour delivers spurts of lead. He adjusts controls at his feet On a plastic white table with sunken control panel. Below Nick Mason’s drums a strobe light animates them. Both Gilmour and Wright occupy regulators. Distant sound that rushes close Dr. ScholL*. ~ R " $,2 95 • and recedes. What sirens sound like through a tunnel. Music traffic at rush hour. Intermission. Somebody yells boogie. People laugh. The white light seems strange. It’s time to stretch. They’re playing “On The Run”. Pure fever. 1116 action of the song’s taking place behind the music. Nick Mason’s drums urge. There’s the sound of footsteps running. Meeting a deadline. Reaches culmination and I picture engines spitting the exhaust of ignition that fade and the ill result is all too evident as the footsteps spend. Neat & Petite Three black women come on stage. They are petite. There’s an unrestraining and sensitive piano. “The Great Gig In The Sky.” Clare Torry. Her voice wails. Beautiful control. “Money it’s a gas / Grab that cash with, both hands and make a stash / And I think I need a Lear jet”. The audience whimpers. Dick Parry joins them for the sax stint. The organ drips notes from every V - speaker in the house. “Us And Them.” A masterpiece. A highly palatable organization of music. Wright is the self-assuring bellows providing fuel for the rockets. Parry is a perfect escort. Mason’s percussive is relentless. Gilmour bites off crisp notes from his guitar. “Any Colour You Like.” Wright effuses organ notes like yawns. Waters takes a thumping ride through the low register. Thank you. Goodnight. I’m happy. The huge room resounds with clapping. More, More. Waters leads them back for an encore. Controls are readjusted. What’s it gonna be? The sound of wind comes over the speakers. An E-string begins to vibrate. “One Of These Days.” I can’t thank whoever invented quadraphonic.

The Supreme Court’s narrow decision (5-4) to right to ban films, plays or publications that as a whole do not show “serious literary, artistic, political or scientific value” not only limits legitimate freedom of expression but poses the problem of by whose standards such material will be judged. As an individual who takes much pleasure in attending films that display “ultimate sex acts, normal or preverted, actual or simulated” and “masturbation, excretory functions and lewd exhibition of the genitals,” my concerns are mounting since this description was offered by Chief Justice Warren Burger as one of the “concrete guidelines” state should use in determining what material to restrict. The decision which the Times called “the product of a Nixonite court,” the majority consisting of the four Nixon appointees along with Justice Byron White who usually votes with them, seeks to objectify standards that are inherently subjective. Whereas my fellow community members might think to the contrary, I have found such sexuality explicit material to be of extreme educational and scientific value, a great deal of which has accounted for my now enriched, fulfilled and expanded sex life. For those who find such material objectionable, let them shut their eyes. The American people have never had any difficulty looking the other way. grant communities the Name withheld by request by Janis Cromer Whoever heard of women driving cars, smoking cigarettes, and going to law school? In 1923, these were preposterous ideas when the National Women’s Party first proposed an amendment to the Constitution which would forbid discrimination on the basis of sex. Whoever heard of female drill sargeants, husbands who weren’t the “Breadwinners,” and married women who preferred their maiden names? Likewise, these situations are not the popularly accepted norms now as the Equal Rights Amendment (ERA) surfaces again into public attention. The proposed 27th Amendment, presently needing ratification by nine states to become law, simply states: “Equality of rights under the law shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any state on account of sex.” On the surface, it appears that this proposal is so harmless that finding .fault with it would be as socially unacceptable as calling a Black man “boy” or eating peas with your knife. However, the implications of the ERA are (hopefully) more far-reaching than simply acknowledging the enfranchisement of women (over fifty years after it was granted by the 19th amendment). ERA may mean no longer excluding women from hazardous occupations such as coalmining, and banning limits on the number of overtime hours a woman can work. This does not mean, as some ERA opponents have claimed, that five-foot-one, ninety-six pound women would have to work jackhammers for fifteen hours a day. It does mean that there will be no law which would restrict a woman from entering a career in gravedigging if she wishes. There is nothing innate in women as a class which keeps them from having the same amount of stamina as men. The passage of ERA would relieve husbands of their legal responsibility to provide financial support for their wives. Non-support would no longer be grounds for divorce unless the courts ruled that women could also be sued for non-support. This ruling would not result in a surge of destitute women and waifs. Men don’t support their wives just out of obedience to a law. Husbands’ support of their wives is a time-honored custom and (unfortunately) is going to require a long time to change. Undoubtedly, ERA provides for many changes. Yet among these would not be the end of: sex-segregated toilets, a woman’s (or anyone’s) right not to work, or the choice to attend a snobbish girls’ private school. These objections to the proposed amendment have been repeatedly voiced by ERA’s most formidable opposition, Phyllis Schlafiy. Bemoaning the bygone days of chivalry and pedastal placing, she has formed a “Stop ERA” organization. Mrs. Schlafiy (she would consider Ms. an insult) particularly opposes ERA because it might mean an end to protective legislation for women who (God forbid!) want to work outside the home. However, as Michigan Congresswoman Martha Griffiths has pointed out, protective legislation has hardly ever protected anyone. Weight-lifting limitation laws did not apply to hospital or mercantile workers who were mostly women. And the federal law barring women from hotel night clerk jobs did not stop women from scrubbing the hotel floors as the night clerk checked in guests. Another area which may change to involve women more actively is the military. Mrs. Schlafly contends that women have a right to not be involved with military operations. If this is true, then men also have an equal right to not participate. The reality of the ERA is that by initially making women eligible for the draft, the pressure for an all-volunteer army would increase. The most heated ERA debate has come over the question of women’s capacity to perform in combat duty. Women are equally capable to pilot planes and run naval operations. Technological advancements such as these are central to the business of running the military. Tests to measure physical ability could be legally used to screen out members of both sexes who are unfit to engage in ground combat. ERA supporters can justifiably point to the success of women in the Israeli and North Vietnamese armies. Mrs. Schlafly, a Roman Catholic mother of six and a Republican activist who wrote, “A Choice, Not an Echo” in support of Barry Goldwater’s 1964 presidential bid, is so unyielding in her ERA opposition that her Archie Bunker polemics become ludicrous. She accuses ERA supporters of seeking only to alleviate their own psychological problems of personal inferiority and contends that one of the true heroes of the Women’s Liberation Movement is Clarence Birdseye who devised the frozen food process. She asks women to praise inventions that have only reinforced the stereotypes of women as Betty Crocker cooks, Amy Vanderbilt hostesses and Beaver Cleaver mothers. There is another ERA opposition which is just damaging as Mrs. Schlafly, even if not as reactionary. One Harvard professor has argued that passage of ERA would produce more unwanted side effects than sound solutions to discrimination problems. Hie suggests increased use of the equal protection clause of the Fourteenth Amendment and specific legislative proposals to remedy specific incidents of discrimination.This critic fails to realize that individual remedies for specific women’s issues will be slow in coming out of male-dominated legislatures. More importantly, the Equal Rights Amendment should be regarded as a long-overdue correction to the UJS. Constitution. It has been no mere oversight on the part of the founding fathers (weren’t there any founding mothers?) and present day legislators that the Constitution and federal laws state that all men are created equal. The Equal Rights Amendment simply and at last replaces the word “men” with “people.” as Women, including Mrs. Schlafly, need not fear passage of the ERA. For if the general amendment is passed, and the chances for ratification are looking dimmer every day, court battles will still have to be continually waged to gain sex discrimination-free practices in all social and legal realsm. Thus, the Equal Rights Amendment is neither the “liberated” woman’s cure-all for sexual inequities nor is it the housewives’ horror which will take Max Factor, Drano and EDS out of her life.

Presently approximately 1290 students are enrolled in the statewide EOF program at the State University at Buffalo whose guidelines require eligible students to be both educationally and economically disadvantaged. The committee’s findings disclosed that the requirements for EOP “apparently induce, among some high school students, intentional performance under capacity in order to ‘quality’ academically for the program.” However, according to Emmitt Lyons, interim director of EOP, students eligible for the program did not purposely perform poorly in high school and on various tests for acceptance into the program. He further stressed that as a result of misinformation given by guidance counselors in the high* schools, students eligible for EOP were informed they were ineligible based on their academic standing.

Recommendations for the improvement of EOF have been" submitted to President Ketter. The suggestions made by the advisory committee include the amending of the eligibility requirements for EOF students. One proposed change would be to allow up to 20% of the students accepted to EOF to be solely economically disadvantaged, and not require that they also be educationally disadvantaged. Furthermore, the committee suggested that special funds from the University of Buffalo’s endowment should be utilized to begin a program related to EOF if Albany disapproves the initial suggestion. The new. program would aid only the financially disadvantaged student. committee’s findings, “EOP students are not expected to score well on them. In fact, they are selected in part specifically because they do poorly on these tests.” However, Mr. Lyons explained that these tests were not suited for the disadvantaged student, and that “more culture-free tests” were required. In cooperation with the Learning Center, and the EOP, new diagnostic examinations which are based on available material better suited for the socio-economic background of the disadvantaged student are being developed. Research is currently underway to determine the performance rating of EOP students. According to a study of Fall 1971 enrollment, 17% of a sample of EOP students did not complete any courses. To reduce non-performance by EOP students, EOP administration officials decided to cut the second installment of financial aid for those delinquent students. Counselor aid In addition, counselors better acquainted with the special problems of the disadvantaged student have attempted to aid and encourage the students, said Mr. Lyons. The committee suggested the adoption of a new policy, “concentrating counseling efforts on students in their first two years,” thereby promoting, “subsequent independent judgment in students.” Formerly EOF students were channeled into popular fields which had low employment potential, said Mr. Lyons. Currently, extensive counseling had aided students in choosing more job-oriented fields. •Presently, over 27% of EOF students have declared majors in Health Sciences, Engineering, Natural Sciences and Mathematics. In addition, the median cumulative grade point average for students in the EOF was disclosed to be 3.00 as compared to 3.08 for non-EOP students. Therefore, the report states these factors of “opportunity, personal motivation, remedial help available (through the Learning Center), encouragement and support from program staff and University faculty and stimulation from students with stronger learning backgrounds has brought average EOF grade performances at a post-freshman level nearly equal to non-EOP. •Culture-free’ tests The advances made by the program since it was Mr. Lyons further explained that the strict admission guidelines required students to undergo instituted as the EPIS (Experimental Program in interviews and standardized tests to determine their Independent Study) in 1968, were applauded by the potential ability to perform on the college level. committee. However, the report noted that the Such examinations are valuable in establishing the continued success of the program is dependent upon differences in credentials for the EOF and non-EOP both EOP and University Administrators’ ability to student, and the degree to which the disadvantages encourage the students to fulfill their 12-credit are overcome, the report stated.

NATIONAL House supports HEW The House this week passed a bill to restore most of the money President Nixon cut from health and education programs. The bill, which is expected to be vetoed by the President, would boost Mr. Nixon’s budget for the Departments of Labor and Health, Education and Welfare by $1.2 billion. The House action would save Office of Economic Opportunity (OEO) an anti-poverty program run by local community action agencies, which Mr. Nixon had planned to close. Kent State new inquiry? The Justice Department is considering a federal grand jury probe into the 1970 Kent State University killings, Attorney General Elliot Richardson reported earlier this week.

Mr. Dean told the Senate Watergate Committee that he is “aware that a number of investigators have been privately retained, contriving absurd stories,” ranging from his fear of going to jail because of homosexual rape to his receiving $100,000 in missing campaign money. Earlier Mr. Dean had refused to say who he thought hired the detectives, but later, under questioning, said it could have been persons — — commercial activity, it is illegal commercial activity. Whale-killing to continue A move by the United States to ban the killing of whales and save the mammals from extinction failed last Tuesday at a meeting of the 14-nation International Whaling Commission.

STATE Tax break New York Telephone, one of ALBANY Buffalo’s largest corporate taxpayers, will have its tax assessments on many of its instruments frozen at Dec. 31, 1974 levels, the State Legislature voted last month.

Termed an irresponsible act by Buffalo Corporation Counsel Anthony Manguso, the bill was charged with diluting the tax raising power of the city. The telephone company “should have to pay its full tax share like Bethlehem Steel and everyone else,” Mr. Manguso declared.

Highest court rules on out-of-state tuition State universities cannot charge higher tuition to students who originally come from outside the state without giving them a chance to prove that they have become legal residents, the Supreme Court ruled last week. The 6 to 3 decision did not address the larger issue of whether public colleges can have a double standard on tuition, with much higher charges for students whose parents live and pay taxes in another state. However, Justice Potter Stewart, writing for the court majority, indicated strongly that the Court would uphold the practice of higher out-of-state tuitions if it comes before the court in another case. “We fully recognize,” Mr. Stewart wrote, “that a state has a legitimate interest in protecting and preserving the quality of its colleges and universities and the right of its bona fide residents to attend such institutions on a preferential tuition basis.” Connecticut resident and an unmarried student who applied from her home in Ohio and then moved to Connecticut. Both plaintiffs have Connecticut drivers’ licenses, have their cars registerd in the state and are registered to vote there. For the last year, they have been required to pay $625 a semester, compared with the $175 for state residents. Increased tax burden “Standards of due process require that the state allow such an individual the opportunity to present evidence showing that he is a bonafide resident entitled to in-state rates,” ruled the court majority. Dissenting, Justice William Rehnquist, joined by Chief Justice Burger and Justice William 0. Douglas, predicted that weakening the Connecticut definition of nonresident students would increase the tax burden there. Mr. Rehnquist wrote: ‘To the extent that today’s decision requires students with no previous A permanent ‘non’ The Supreme Court prohibited connection with the state of the system used by the University Connecticut to be admitted to of Connecticut, which requires that state’s university system as highter tuition from any in state students upon registering unmarried applicant who had a to vote and obtaining a driver’s legal address outside the stale any license, it means that long-time time during the year before state residents will not only applying and any married continue to support the state applicant who had such an address university system but that they when he applied.

The Spectrum Friday, 29 June 1973 . by John A. Fink Spectrum Staff Writer The 1974-1975 budget for the State University was completed this week by administrative officials in anticipation of a meeting with SUNY’s Central Office staff in Albany on June at Buffalo 28. This is the initial stage in a vast series of presentations to various committees before the budget is approved and passed. Edward Doty, vice president for Operations and Systems, explained the complex process of the budget’s formation, growth and revisions. Mr. Doty could not reveal the exact figures but he explained the various increases that were worked into it. He said the increase requests can be divided into three major areas: 1) An increase in student aid, especially on the graduate level, is being sought because of diminishing federal support. 2) Increases in staffing of the Health Sciences faculty, particularly the medical and dental schools, were petitioned because a accreditation reports stating that the student-faculty ratio was much too high. 3) Additional operating funds for the opening of new buildings on the new North Campus in Amherst. Discussions in Albany The committee which composed Buffalo’s budget request arrived in Albany June 27 for a day of discussion with SUNY’s Central staff. Those committee members making the trip were: President Robert L. Ketter; Albert Somit, Executive Vice President; Charles M. Fogel, Assistant Executive Vice President; Mr. Doty; Bernard Gelbaum, vice president for Academic Affairs; F. Carter Pannell, Vice President, Health Sciences; and John D. Telfer, Vice President Facilities Planning. SUNY officials, particularly G. Bruce Dearing, vice chancellor for Academic Programs and Harry K. Spindler, vice chancellor for Finance, Management and Business, have already received and read the budget presentation and will discuss specific portions of it with the Buffalo representatives. For example, residence hall costs or salaries of faculty members will be compared with those at other SUNY units. At the completion of these discussions, members of the Central Staff will evaluate the budget and the Chancellor will determine a “target budget" for this University. This figure is the upper limit which SUNY will support and endorse and is based upon the requests of the other campuses and the total amount of funds that will be available in 1974-1975. Target budget When this total figure is announced, Buffalo officials will have to reconstruct their own budget within the parameters of the “target budget.” The revised budget will then be sent back to Central Staff in Albany for further review and then sent to the Division of the Budget. Early in the fall semester, the Buffalo committee will return to Albany and again present their budget to members of SUNY Central Staff. Budget examiners will conduct a more thorough investigation, to be preceded by a visit to this campus in August, to see how last year’s budget was handled. When the examiners complete their hearing, they will make any additional adjustments they deem appropriate and then submit it to the legislature as part of the Governor’s Executive Budget. Legislative study The budget will be formally proposed to the legislature by the Governor in early January. It will then be studied by the Senate Ways and Means Committee and the Senate Finance Committee. After both of these bodies agree on further changes, the State Legislature will vote on the Executive Budget, sometime prior to March 31. The 4 973-1974 University Budget was approximately $70 million from a total SUNY budget of $600 million. However, with the addition of research grants, student aid from the federal government, and grants from the UB Foundation, the total expenditure rate was raised from the original $70 million to $110 million. “The State of New York puts a very high premium on higher education and we are lucky to be living here,” commented Mr. Doty. “It was certainly late in getting into the business of public education, but it has certainly made up for its tardiness.” 'A CAMPING RETREAT for married couples a July 13-15 Casadaga, N.Y.
